"Who said I was joking? Ni Chu Xue, wait for me obediently." He made me sound like a disobedient puppy.
There was a cloud floating in my heart, so light that I felt it.
I don't know a thing about relationships, he said. He's coming to ask for marriage.
He is the clouds in the sky, I can only be a man of the earth, how could he have taken a fancy to me? No, this was definitely not a person. "Where is your favorite person in the capital?" I remember that.
He was a little upset. "Take it as nonsense."
I nodded. I didn't want to believe him anyway, but he said it was ridiculous.
He grabbed my shoulder and shook it, making me dizzy. "I said, take the guy I love for a load of crap."
I noticed that he liked to say half of what he said. However, it was undeniable that my heart was beating rapidly.
A marriage proposal? Having lived for more than ten years, I think that this term isn't foreign to me anymore. Most of them came to ask for a marriage, asking for pear fragrance.
I did not think that such a fine man would shake me by the shoulder and say that he was coming to ask for marriage.
I don't know how to react. Forgive me for not understanding the situation. After all, I haven't tried.
But I told him kindly, "My reputation is not good." Pear fragrance is beautiful, I am ugly.
Therefore, outside, I do not say that I am the daughter of the Yin family, to add to the jokes of others.
He said in a low voice, "Do I care about these people?"
I don't know him, how do I know that? He spoke as if he understood me. Sigh, even I don't understand me anymore.
"Alright then. If you want to come, then come. At the same time, take the painting back so that I don't get someone to send it back." Maybe he was just impulsive and had calmed down, so he wouldn't say such things.
"You are not allowed to marry anyone because I will come to propose marriage." He spoke in a domineering tone.
I'm so stupid I don't know how to answer.
"Nodding." he ordered.
I was so obedient that I actually nodded and almost bit off the tip of my tongue.
He let out a sigh of relief, "Alright, then I'll agree. Don't say it in such a helpless manner for a month, Ni Chu Xue."
I was really helpless. If I was really happy, I would have thought it was strange. "I have wronged you."
He was so happy that he laughed out loud. He stood outside and held the bamboo fence. "Ni Chu Xue."
I like my name very much, even more than that peach, he called out, there was a taste like alcohol, the sound of it made my heart go soft.
A month later, I didn't know that something had happened to me a month later that he and I had missed.
He turned around with a smile and some excitement on his face, "Ni Chu Xue, is the bamboo shoot delicious?"
I sighed. "I'm not full yet."
"Waiter, serve more dishes." His voice was very relaxed, as free and easy as a cool breeze.
I sat down. "If you had a better temper, you would have saved yourself a lot of money. Eat a meal and order dishes twice." It must be a bad habit of the aristocrats, that's not good. "If she wasn't happy, she would flip the table, which would be a waste. Just her temper alone was unbearable.
This is not allowed in my etiquette or my upbringing.
"I'll change it a bit in the future." Then he sat down next to me.
My heart was beating fast. I needed time.
While they were waiting for the dishes to arrive, he said, "Ni Chuxue, teach me to paint in the future. The paintings you drew are very beautiful."
I grinned. "This is the first time you've praised me like this. Alright, seeing how sincere you are, I'll teach you. "
If someone came to propose this month, I wouldn't agree, but in the end I didn't see him. I still remember that time when the flowers were blooming beautifully, the wind brought some sweet fragrance, this is the first time I was moved, I was moved by him. I'll always remember, in the endless green with the delicate flowers. The two men and women who didn't know how to say it secretly had feelings for each other.
It was not until the sun set that I returned with him. Of course, it was my idea again.
He couldn't do anything to me. I realized that as long as I persisted, he wouldn't force me. I disappeared for a day, and he also disappeared for a day. How could I not misunderstand him?
There were some ambiguous existences, but when he thought about it in his heart, it was somewhat sweet.
That night, I slept very well. I dreamed of him coming to my house to propose marriage, saying that he wanted to marry me. I blushed so much that I hid myself, and my father laughed, and he laughed too.
But I do not know, this dream, only dream.
When I woke up the next day, my nurse looked at me with a sigh. Her face was dark from the shock, and she told me in disappointment, "Master Shangguan has left."
I guess she must be thinking, I'm not going to have anything to do with him.
I really want to laugh, I won't say that he proposed marriage a month from now, I am a woman after all, and I am not as thick-skinned as I am now. If it was just a joke, then wouldn't I die of shame?
Until then, when it isn't true, I won't be sure.
In the days that followed, I went into seclusion and drew his things at home. First, I drew a medical drawing, then I drew mountains and rivers, and then I drew flowers. I paid close attention to each and every one of them because it was what he wanted.
Half a month passed, and I actually drew a thick stack. Even when Jing pestered me to play, I didn't have the time to care about her. The heat outside, as I heard her call out louder and louder about the scorching heat of summer.
Little Jing pursed her lips and looked at me with a wronged expression. I wanted to laugh, so I put down my pen and said, "Little Jing, alright. I'm scared of you. I'll take you out to play. Where are you going to play?"
Jing Mei joked, her eyes shining with excitement. "Aunt is the best."
Looking at his smile, I felt a little guilty. I had been immersed in painting for over half a month, so I didn't pay attention to the matters of the mansion. My father's illness was also recuperating at home.
I squatted down to take a look at Jing Jing. "Jing, let aunt wash her hands first. You go find Aunt Li Xiang and we'll go out together." It was unknown whether or not Pear Fragrance had walked out of the shadows for so long.
I don't care about my family, Shangguan Bing, it broke my heart.
Little Jingjing pursed her lips, "Aunt pear isn't free." She goes out every day. "
Go out every day? Pear Fragrance had recovered so quickly? That was a good thing. But my eyebrows were jumping up and down, making me even more uneasy.
"Then wait a moment, aunt. I'll take you to see the flowers and drink some ice water." Kids always like to eat these things.
The weather was also very hot. Drinking a bowl of sugary water to cool off the summer heat also made one's heart feel comfortable.
Little Jing clapped happily. "That's great! Aunt! Aunt! You're the best! Little Jing will marry Aunt when she grows up."
I lowered my head and pinched his face. "Jing has grown up, my aunt is old, and her hair is full of white hair."
"Aunt is the most beautiful." he said stubbornly.
I smiled lightly, I did not care about the children's children's children's words, I do not know, the determination of the small Jing went on very deep.
I took Little Jing out the door, and as soon as I stepped out of the back door, the hot wind blew in my face. If it wasn't for Jing thinking about it, I wouldn't have come out to bask in the sun. It's so hot and uncomfortable, my skin isn't white at all.
If Shangguan Bing sees me darker, won't she be laughing at me again?
Privately, I still thought he would come, and the thought of him filled me with a sense of secret delight.
I used my hand to block the hot sun. When the wind blew, it was sufficient to blow away some of the hot air. Even the lotus fragrance that was being blown by the wind had a warm smell. I still prefer the clear smell of the morning, not as hot as it is at noon.
A few fast horses were heading towards my house. I wasn't curious as there were quite a few guests at my house. They were probably admiring Pear Blossom.
After this lesson, Pear Fragrance will open her eyes and look at these men, then choose a good one from the middle. She had lost her virginity, but if he really liked her, he might not mind.
The pavilion built near the water was still able to see the endless jade-green leaves and powdery flowers. Little Jing was drinking ice water very obediently. I liked eating those lotus seeds, but he actually picked them into my bowl. I smiled in satisfaction. What a sensible child.
As I leisurely enjoyed this time, my heart felt a little muddled. It seemed that ever since Shangguan Yu had left, I had been extremely obedient. I had really listened to him. And terrible, I always think of him.
With a faint smile, I heard a familiar female voice. I looked down and saw Li Xiang and Lou Yuyu sitting on the same boat. Li Xiang was buying candied water.
"Pear fragrance." I screamed.
Why were they together again? Didn't you see through his true appearance?
Riko looked up at me, startled.
That Lou Yuyu, on the other hand, smiled mysteriously at me.
I think he was the one with the pear blossom again. I shouted, "You bastard, Lou Yuyu."
I ran downstairs. On the side downstairs, I faced the small boat. "Pear Blossom, hurry and get on."
"Ugly woman, don't meddle in my business. No one can blame you for the things that you and I are willing to do." He couldn't hide it.
Riko's face was pale. "Yuyu, didn't you say you want to marry me? I already have your flesh and blood. " What he could not conceal was her trembling.
When I heard that, I got angry. I grabbed Lou Yuyu's clothes, "You lied to me again, Little Sister Riko. Lou Yuyu, are you still human?"
His face went cold, and he stood up beside me.
He was much taller than me, so he opened my hand with one hand and squeezed my chin with the other. Forget it, I have achieved my goal. If it wasn't for you, my plan would have been much more perfect. "
I don't understand. I really don't understand. I'm scared, but I have no way out.
Jing pushed at him. "Let go of my aunt. "Bad man, let go of my aunt."
He sneered. He lifted Little Jing's clothes with one hand and threw her far away. Little Jing fell on the ground and didn't cry.
