Outside the West City Gate, there are dense green forests and gurgling streams. In the hot summer, this place is a good place for boys and girls in Chang'an City to gather and play.
On the gravel road next to the stream, two horses were walking leisurely. On horseback, two women, one big and one small, were talking. Both women are first-class beauties, especially the older woman, who wears light makeup and plain clothes, and is extremely beautiful.
"Hey, my brother has been in a daze these days. No one wants to get close to him since he came back from the mountain... Humph! It's all the fault of the man named Ye! If it weren't for him, how could he be like this?" Jiang Yaya felt for his brother. Indignant.
"Yes! I think that Ye Changshan was just a fluke!" Cui Qinglan's tone was also slightly resentful.
"If one day I am allowed to see this person named Ye, I will take a good look at what this kid is capable of!"
Yaya took out a bag of pebbles from nowhere, picked one and threw it hard into the stream, as if Ye Changshan was there, trying to hit him with a pebble to relieve his brother's anger. Then, she said again——
"Sister, don't be anxious. My brother has been obsessed with martial arts for these years and doesn't know anything about men and women. You can only slowly influence him. As the saying goes, 'women chase men with a veil between them'. Sister Cui, you are from a background like yours." His looks are all rare in the Tang Dynasty. My brother is just a little shy in the relationship between men and women, but he is not a stone, so how can he not be moved by you? "
Although Yaya is young, he is like a veteran in love at this time, 'analyzing' Cui Qinglan non-stop.
Cui Qinglan was rejected in person this morning and was very depressed. Fortunately, Yaya kept comforting herself along the way, which made her feel more comfortable.
Cui Qinglan couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw the little girl shaking her head and 'pointing' to herself with an extremely confident look on her face.
"Pfft——"
Cui Qinglan couldn't help laughing.
Ya Ya was talking enthusiastically, exclaiming that it was so enjoyable to help people get emotional counseling, when suddenly she heard a sweet oriole-like laughter coming into her ears. She turned to look at Cui Qinglan, and saw Sister Cui's charming smile suddenly blooming, like an extremely gorgeous flower blooming in an instant. The mountains, rivers, rivers, vegetation and jungles behind her were all eclipsed in an instant. Only the woman in front of her was vivid and bright. . This smile is like a cool breeze in the scorching summer, and like a ray of warm sunshine in the cold winter that can melt everything.
Although Yaya was born as a girl, she was stunned by this sight. She only had one thought in her mind at the moment - how could there be such a beautiful woman in the Central Plains? If I were a man, I would be so fascinated by Sister Cui that I would be dizzy. How could I be willing to let her suffer even a little bit?
Cui Qinglan didn't know what Yaya was thinking when he stared at her, but suddenly she felt that the eyes were exactly the same as those annoying men's eyes when they saw her. So, she waved her hand in front of Yaya and said, "What's wrong with you Yaya?"
Ya Ya came back to her senses and felt that she seemed to have lost her composure just now. Her face turned red again and she said, "Sister Cui makes me fascinated when she smiles. My brother is such an idiot, but he is unmoved by such a beautiful woman's initiative to invite me." ! Idiot! What an idiot!"
Yaya suddenly felt that his brother was too unsatisfactory and ignorant, so he threw several stones angrily, as if his brother was there and wanted to use the stones to wake him up.
"Idiot? It would be great if your brother is really an idiot!"
Cui Qinglan looked at the several pairs of boys and girls playing and laughing along the shore, feeling a little envious in her heart.
Seeing Cui Qinglan looking at the pairs of mandarin ducks with envy on her face, Yaya couldn't help being curious and asked: "Sister Cui, how...how did you fall in love with your brother..." .”
When asked this question, Cui Qinglan couldn't help but think of the scene that day, and felt a sense of shame in her heart.
"I was born and raised in Chang'an. Although I have never met your brother, how could I not have heard of his name? But I have always despised those two nursery rhymes."
Cui Qinglan had indeed never met Jiang Changming before. Before that, she was not only unmoved by those two rumors, she even had a hint of disdain. Cui Qinglan continued—
"Although I was born into a family of civil servants, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. When I was a child, my father asked me to learn some useless things like music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but my cousins in the clan could often go hunting and practice martial arts. I was particularly puzzled when I was a child. , why can’t women ride horses and practice martial arts? Maybe it’s because I’ve been holding back this energy. Ever since I was young, I have always had to compete with those stinky men. As a result, those stinky men are not as good as me in royal skills and martial arts. As time goes by, , naturally I will look down on those vulgar people."
Although Yaya didn't know Cui Qinglan before, she had already heard about Cui Qinglan's "notorious reputation" in Chang'an City. Therefore, when she learned that she was interested in her brother, her first reaction was some resistance. But when she saw the 'most beautiful woman in the Central Plains', she couldn't connect the legendary domineering and domineering young lady with the 'gentle and elegant' Sister Cui. Maybe 'love' really can Change a person's temperament. In addition, during this period, Sister Cui always gave herself some knickknacks and trinkets, and treated her like a younger sister in her words. Therefore, Yaya also dispelled her original doubts. After hearing these words again today, she was really happy about it. Sister Cui felt even more admiration.
"I thought I would never be moved by any man in my life, but after I saw your brother that day, I... I didn't expect that there is such a good-looking man in the world, and people can't help but take a second look at him."
Yaya nodded vigorously and praised Sister Cui's 'taste'.
"It was at that glance that I almost bumped into a passerby in front of me. At that time, I thought the tragedy was inevitable, but just now I saw Mr. Jiang several feet away from me, and the next moment he appeared next to me, dismounting his horse. My son managed to catch me, and even caught me falling from the horseback..."
Thinking of the fleeting mud that day, Cui Qinglan felt like thousands of ants crawling through her heart. This itchy feeling made her feel uneasy.
"Then! Then!" Yaya kept asking with big eyes flashing like a nosy melon-eater.
"My horse's name is 'Talking the Wind'. It is a horse with blood from the Western Regions. It has been raised by me since it was a child. It has such a strong temper that not even the Shepherd can tame it except for me."
As she spoke, Cui Qinglan lovingly stroked the mane of the horse beneath her. Windwalker felt his master's warm palm and responded with a long hiss.
Cui Qinglan continued: "But Mr. Jiang actually subdued it that day. No matter how it broke free and jumped, Mr. Jiang just stood there, motionless as if there were roots in the soles of his feet. In the end, 'Walking Wind' seemed to understand that it could not break free. , did not make any unnecessary struggles, and docilely came to Mr. Jiang’s face to please him. This is the first time I have seen him be so affectionate to others since I was a child..."
Yaya had never heard her brother mention this matter. Today, when she heard Cui Qinglan talk about it, she suddenly realized that her brother had staged a good show of "hero saving beauty".
"Young Master Jiang also smells very good..."
"Ah? Sister, what did you say?"
Yaya was thinking about the scene of his brother's hero saving the beauty that day. Cui Qinglan suddenly said this, and Yaya couldn't even believe his ears.
"No...it's nothing!" Cui Qinglan knew she had made a mistake, and her pretty face suddenly turned red. She quickly found an excuse and said, "Your brother bought a candied haws at Lao Sha's house that day. It smelled quite good."
This is true. Jiang Changming often went to Nancheng to buy candied haws for his sister. That day, Yaya was so greedy that he asked his brother to buy it for her.
"That's right, their candied haws on a stick is my favorite!" Yaya immediately became energetic when he mentioned the candied haws on a stick. After that, she magically took out two sticks from her arms and handed one to Cui Qinglan, saying——
"His candied haws on a stick are sweet and crispy, cool and refreshing. One bite will make you sweet for days. Here! Sister, you can eat it too!"
Cui Qinglan didn't know something, but little Jiang Yaya had a "big" dream, which was to open a shop selling candied haws in the future and eat enough all day long! Thinking of this, Yaya grinned, showing two cute rabbit teeth.
Seeing Ya Ya's naive appearance, Cui Qinglan felt funny again. Seeing that Ya Ya was eating each bite like a greedy cat, and the food was so delicious, Cui Qinglan stopped being polite and took the candied haws and started eating.
Just like that, two beauties, one big and one small, were riding on horses, one of them was nibbling a bunch of candied haws, and they were staggering forward.
