After leaving the city gate, it was still bustling with people driving carts and donkey carts to the market. There were also many young masters and ladies who went for outings and leisure activities in the suburbs, laughing and laughing all the way.
Not far from the city gate, there is a Fu Ji herbal tea shop with a pergola outside and several rough wooden vermilion lacquer square tables below. Each square table is equipped with four long benches painted in bright red. The people resting under the pergola were all burly men, dressed in burlap clothes, with bare chests and exposed arms, speaking rough words and occasionally laughing loudly.
Anyone with some family status should naturally rest slowly in the tea shop. Who would sit with those peddlers just to save a few copper coins? But today, there was a young man in a blue shirt who found a seat under the pergola and called on the tea doctor to pour a bowl of clear tea, leisurely drinking it.
The young man was wearing a blue silk robe, with a square scarf tied around his head, cloud shoes on his feet, a jade belt tied around his waist, and a sachet embroidered with lotus flowers. Sitting next to the boy was a servant with a bundle of grey cloth hanging on his back. After taking a sip of tea, the servant looked quite embarrassed and said, "Young master, do you really not want me to accompany you to Qingxi Pavilion? What if you encounter a thief cutting the path
Looking at the burly men drinking tea and laughing loudly next to him, amused by their vulgar language, Li Tianzong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't say anything more. This is between Miss Yang and me. If you come with me, it's like nothing
But if the young master has any good intentions, Li Ji will never be able to plead guilty! "Li Ji frowned with a bitter face. Although the New Song Dynasty had a good atmosphere and there were no bandits in Linxian, he couldn't let the young master go alone!
Li Tianzong simply ignored him and drank a bowl of slightly astringent clear tea. He stood up and took the cloth bag from Li Ji's back, patted his shoulder, and smiled, "You stay here until I come back
Li Ji still wanted to talk about something to discuss, but when he stared at him, the words that came to his lips immediately scared him back to his stomach. His childish face wrinkled like that of an old man, and he watched his young master walking farther and farther away with eager eyes until he could no longer see a shadow in sight before nervously withdrawing his gaze.
A large river runs through Linxian City, and Liuhe River is a small part of it. This is the waterway that connects Linxian to other places, and there are docks and other facilities outside the city. Ask Li Ji early that as long as you walk down the main road, you will reach Qingxi Pavilion. Li Tianzong enjoyed the scenery along the river, savoring the ancient customs carefully. As a result, his steps became slow and he even complemented some elegant ladies from official families.
There are large sailboats for transporting goods on the river, as well as small boats for enjoying the scenery. A small bamboo stump passed by the river, with an old man using a bamboo pole and two little girls carrying bamboo baskets. They played with the clear river water, singing beautiful songs in soft Wu Nong language, occasionally emitting delicate smiles, gentle and graceful.
After enjoying a distance, Li Tianzong quickened his pace. The roads on both sides are covered with green trees, and gradually the number of pedestrians has decreased. Occasionally, one can see a cowherd with a big horn driving away a water buffalo, walking slowly. Half an hour later, looking far ahead, Li Tian faintly saw a small pavilion with a sharp roof. He rested for a while and walked to the pavilion.
Approaching the pavilion with the hexagonal peak, I saw a towering pine tree beside the pavilion and a stone tablet under the tree, which read "Qingxi Pavilion". Leaning against the pavilion railing, why was it named Qingxi despite seeing a rolling river? Li Tianzong smiled and looked into the pavilion, his eyes lighting up.
I saw a beautiful woman in white with green sleeves standing at the edge of the pavilion, with her back to him. Judging from her figure, it was none other than Yang Yu.
Li Tianzong was about to speak to her, but his mouth opened wide and he suddenly closed it. His starry eyes turned and he walked into the pavilion with his hands and feet. Seeing that Yang Yu was unaware, he knew that she was really out of her wits. He moved closer with even greater caution, took a breath, and suddenly shouted, "Miss Yang
Yang Yu trembled all over and screamed in fear, her feet softening and her body tilting forward. If no one pulled her, she would fall further and further towards the pavilion.
Seeing this situation, Li Tianzong didn't show any panic on his face, but a smile flashed in his eyes. He opened his hand and hugged Yang Yu forward, wrapped it around her waist, and pulled her back. That small waist was as soft as willow catkins, and through a few layers of clothing, it seemed that one could still feel the smooth and delicate texture of the creamy white jade. Intentionally or unintentionally, Li Tianzong withdrew his hands and took a step back.
You! "Yang Yu turned around, her almond eyes wide open, seven parts angry and three parts shy. She parted her hair sideways today, tied it in a butterfly bun, tied it with a yellow blue butterfly hairpin, and hung thousands of strands of green silk on her left ear, tied it with a yellow border and a blue ring that matched the butterfly hairpin. Looking at her pretty face with a hint of pink, her heroic eyebrows transformed into two crescent moons the day before, and her lips were painted with a faint pink.
She was wearing a white straight collar dress, with leaders all in emerald green. She had a green ribbon tied around her waist and a jade palace belt hanging from her waist, which complemented her long white and green edged dress. Yang Yu was still in a state of shock, her crispy chest wrapped in Hezi constantly undulating, evoking deep thoughts.
Miss Yang, I scared you. Damn it! "Li Tianzong bowed repeatedly, but his handsome face was full of laughter and his tone was light, without any hint of knowing his mistake.
Yang Yu is both angry and shy. Although she is bold and daring in her thoughts, she is still a pure daughter's family. When has she ever been embraced by the opposite sex! She angrily said, "You deliberately scared Yang to belittle me
Li Tianzong chuckled without any embarrassment or shame, and said calmly, "I'm not slacking off Miss Yang, but collecting debts. That was just the highlight of literary struggle
The flirtatious remark he made to Yang Yu the day before was about to hug her daughter, who was dressed up at home. This kind of teasing naturally made Yang Yu furious, which was why she let Li Tianzong wear women's clothes and swim around Liuhe. Upon hearing him speak, Yang Yu suddenly lost her composure, with half of her anger released. The rest was mostly grievances. Even though she had been neglected, how could she not be angry!
So, on the contrary, you're being reasonable! "Yang Yu said in a strange voice, her pale face turning red with anger just now.
Li Tianzong nodded naturally, with an innocent expression on his face, "Is there anything else wrong with me
Seeing him like this is even more infuriating! Yang Yu stroked the green silk hanging down from her left side, her face bulging and swollen. She snorted and said, "There's no mistake at all! Yang's colorful hair has already been presented. Goodbye
