In Zhu Mingyu's memory, Chang'an City has always been so prosperous, but every time he came and went in a hurry, he never took a good look at Chang'an.
The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are so fast that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. For Zhu Mingyu, there is only one flower in Chang'an tonight.
Amber followed him and had no intention of watching the night scene of Chang'an. After coming out of the inn, Zhu Mingyu said nothing. Usually when the two of them go out together, Amber is always like a lark, unable to stop talking. She always asks Zhu Mingyu if she sees anything new. But now she didn't dare to speak, feeling only shy and embarrassed.
She muttered silently in her heart: "Master Mingyu, please say something... I feel... so awkward..."
"Amber," Zhu Mingyu finally spoke, "look over there."
Following Zhu Mingyu's finger, he looked over and saw a tall tower standing in Chang'an City in the distance.
She asked: "What is that?"
"The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the highest place in Chang'an City. Do you want to go up and have a look?"
"Now? Will they let us go up?"
"What are you thinking about? Of course you won't let me. Let's go secretly."
After the rain, the weather gradually warmed up, but sitting on the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the wind was still a bit cold.
Amber regretted coming up. When she was on the street just now, there were so many people coming and going, so even though she was embarrassed, she could still pretend to look around. Now there were just the two of them on the top of the tower. The hustle and bustle of Chang'an was far away from them, and the air became increasingly awkward.
Zhu Mingyu took out a bag of things from his arms and handed it to Hu Hu. Hu Hu took it suspiciously and asked, "What?"
"Eat... I didn't bother to eat at noon. You probably didn't eat much in the afternoon. Are you hungry?"
Amber was about to say "I'm not hungry", but the "gurgling" sound in her stomach betrayed her. Zhu Mingyu couldn't help laughing and said, "Eat it quickly."
She opened the paper package and inside were some exquisite-looking pastries. Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth. It's very sweet.
Seeing Amber concentrating on eating, Zhu Mingyu suddenly said: "Humber, I'm sorry."
"Well?" Amber swallowed the cake in her mouth, "What are you sorry for?"
"You don't have to be embarrassed. You are always an outspoken person and just say whatever you have to say. I think you must be afraid that I will be sad and you are too embarrassed to refuse, right?"
"That's not the case either..."
"I have something to hide from you."
"hide?"
"That Yuan Fengling is actually engaged to me, on the fingertips. At that time, the Yuan family had a great business, and our Zhu family did not hesitate to give in. Although their family focused on the world, they had many contacts in business matters. It happened that my mother and Yuan When Feng Chime got pregnant, she decided to settle our affairs. But after that, our business dealings became less and less frequent, and we gradually stopped contacting each other. I thought the engagement was cancelled, but who knew that when we left the brothel that year? Later, Yuan Fengling fell in love with me and came to my house to urge us to get married. You have seen her temper before. If I didn't agree, the engagement would be void."
"You...why are you hiding it?"
"I'm afraid you'll be unhappy, but I'm just overthinking it. I should have thought of it a long time ago. You won't think about it in that way. It doesn't make sense whether I hide it from you or not."
"You can't marry Yuan Fengling."
Zhu Mingyu was a little surprised and asked, "Why?"
Amber said plausibly: "You don't like her, and you two are not a good match. I am stupid and can't understand other people's words, so I didn't think that people were making fun of me in the morning. When I came back, the lady followed me I didn’t understand until I explained it. She was definitely not a good person when she spoke harshly to someone she didn’t know. Taoist Priest Mingyu, you are a very good person, why do you want to be with such a woman? "
Zhu Mingyu couldn't help but laugh again and asked: "What's wrong with me? I just run away when I encounter something I can't figure out. I haven't cared about my parents in these years. I just want to be happy. Is this good?"
Amber shook her head vigorously: "No! Aunt Zhou said that everyone has shortcomings and advantages, and you can't deny a person because of his shortcomings."
"Then what are my advantages?"
"Let me think about it...you are very patient. Miss and Sister Jade sometimes find me annoying because I don't know how to ask them all the time. If I ask them too much, they will get annoyed. But you never bother me, I Tell me whatever I ask. You are also very considerate of others. When we first met at the Bai family, you obviously didn't have enough to eat, but in order not to trouble others, you insisted that you had enough. You are not afraid of danger, obviously I can't beat that Ji Qingyun, but he still insists that I go find my young lady, and you can hold him back. Also, you have a lot of backbone, even if you don't have any money, you won't let others see it."
Zhu Mingyu laughed so hard that he almost lost his breath.
Amber asked cautiously: "Am I... wrong?"
"That's right," Zhu Mingyu said while suppressing a smile, "but the last three items should be worth saving face. Are there any more?"
"I'll think about it...there's more...but I can't tell."
"Forget it, don't embarrass yourself."
Amber added: "And he's very kind to me."
Zhu Mingyu stopped laughing. He looked at Hu Hu tenderly and said, "Hu Hu, you said yesterday that if you want to get married, you must find someone you like, right?"
"Yes."
"Me too..." Zhu Mingyu looked into the distance, "I always feel that what Li Fenglan and I did today is unfair to you because I was too anxious. You also heard about my family's affairs yesterday. When I was a child My body is weak, just like my father's, and I often get sick. After Xiaoxiao scolded me yesterday, I figured it out. I'm afraid that something will happen to my father in the future, and I have to let him see the next generation. Find someone I like. , I have someone I like, but I am afraid that she will be embarrassed."
Amber asked in a low voice: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Go home and get married."
"With whom?"
"Amber, I'm sorry. I really want to continue to be nice to you, tell you those anecdotes about the world, and answer things you don't understand. But...if you don't have me in the future, you have to be more discerning, and I will talk to you when you have nothing to do. A man who likes you, or a man who wants to take you with him wherever he goes, probably has bad intentions."
Amber didn't seem to understand, and asked again: "Who are you following?"
Zhu Mingyu gritted his teeth and replied: "With others, maybe you are not the person you like."
"Ah?" Amber was a little confused, "Aren't you following me?"
Zhu Mingyu was also confused: "Don't you disagree?"
"I...didn't say...I disagree..."
Zhu Mingyu's eyes grew wider and wider. He was thinking: He forced Amber to marry him because he was so impatient. That was not what human beings do. Amber is too innocent, too innocent to consider the relationship between men and women. In Amber's mind, Zhu Mingyu may have always been a good friend and brother. Today, he had an affair with Li Fenglan. Amber is so kind and can't bear to reject others. He can't let a girl do something against her will just because of her own wishful thinking. Bar?
He had already planned that after the matter in Chang'an was settled, he would go back to Qingfengguan and tell his master to return to secular life, then go home and find a noble lady to marry him. From now on, if you live a good life with others, you won't have to worry about the world.
Zhu Mingyu couldn't handle Amber's answer now.
"Then, that's it, agreed?"
Amber looked at Zhu Mingyu with wide eyes and whispered: "Miss said, if I don't marry you, you will marry another woman. After thinking about it, I still don't want you to marry anyone else. If I can't see you again, You, or even if I see you, I can't be like before, I, I will be sad. Taoist Master Mingyu, I'm sorry, I am too stupid. If you understand earlier, you won't be so embarrassed. "
The wind was getting stronger, so Amber tightened his collar and moved towards Zhu Mingyu.
Zhu Mingyu only felt a little dizzy, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or ecstatic.
Amber asked in a low voice: "Taoist Priest Mingyu, aren't you angry with me?"
"Why am I angry with you?"
"As long as he's not angry," Amber smiled, with cute eyes, "The lady said that if a man is angry, just get closer to him and touch him gently, and he will be relieved after a while. "
"...Li Fenglan teaches you this every day?"
"She said I would need it later."
"...It won't work if you say it... Amber, actually, what..." Zhu Mingyu looked a little embarrassed.
Amber asked: "What is it actually?"
"Actually, the second set of clothes looks pretty good. Why don't you wear that one?"
"don't want!"
…
It was already late at night, and not only Amber had exhausted all her energy throughout the whole day, but so had everyone else.
Li Fenglan has a lot of things on her mind, and she often suffers from insomnia these days.
While she was thinking wildly, the door was pushed open. She looked at the door and saw Amber sneaking in under the cover of night.
Li Fenglan asked: "Amber? Why are you coming to my place so late?"
Amber didn't say anything, took off her shoes, got into Li Fenglan's bed, and then buried her head in Li Fenglan's chest.
"Damn girl, your clothes are so cold!"
"Miss," Amber whispered, "my head is in a mess."
Li Fenglan sighed, patted Amber's back gently, and said, "I'm sorry, it's my sister who got so angry that she forced you to make a choice. I told Zhu Mingyu that you can't figure this out now, and asked him not to force you. . It’s okay, don’t worry about me, in the worst case we’ll return the money to him.”
Amber shook her head and said, "No, I thought about it for a long time, and I still think it would be better to marry him."
"Amber, have you figured it out?" Li Fenglan was particularly happy. Now she doesn't have to pay back the money, and the money will be used as a betrothal gift.
"He is so good, I worry that I am not good enough for him."
"What are you talking about? He is just good-looking, has a good temper, and his family is rich. You have to know that you are the third daughter of the Sword Immortal. How come you are not worthy of him?"
"Miss, tell me, will Aunt Zhou agree?"
"Last time Aunt Zhou came to the Xianren Hall, she said that Zhu Mingyu is quite discerning. It's not like you don't know that Aunt Zhou always likes children who have a bright eye."
"Then will his parents agree?"
"Amber, why do you think so much? How dare their family disagree?"
Li Fenglan heard it. Amber's tone was not embarrassed at all, but shy and happy. She knew that Zhu Mingyu took Amber out for shopping at night, but she didn't expect that Zhu Mingyu, a Taoist priest who was supposed to be pure and celibate, took Amber away after less than two hours of shopping?
Li Fenglan pushed Hu Bo away from her arms, looked into her eyes and said, "Hu Bo, I want to tell you something."
"What's going on?"
"From today on, don't call me miss anymore."
"Why?"
"It was just a joke, but who would have thought that you have been shouting for so many years all at once. Now that you are a big girl, it's time to think about yourself. Otherwise, if you go out with me, others will think you are a little maid."
"Is it not good?"
"Of course it's not good... Amber, the day after tomorrow, can I give you back the 'Miss' you have called me in the past few years?"
"Why pay it back?"
"Don't worry about this."
"Then if I don't call you miss from now on, why should I call you?"
"Calling back to the previous title, didn't you always call me Sister Lan?"
"good."
Seeing Amber sleeping happily with her arms around her, Li Fenglan felt as if she was infected by Amber, and her heart was full of happiness. But then I thought about it: If Feicui gets Bai Shuyu and Amber marries Zhu Mingyu, then... won't the three of them be separated in the future?
Li Fenglan couldn't help but hug Hu Hu tightly. Even if it wasn't Zhu Mingyu and Bai Shuyu, they might have found some other sweetheart, and they were destined to be separated.
