"Today is the Shangsi Festival! The ancients practiced evil spirits on this day to protect their health for a year. I should also follow the example of the ancients and hold this 'Qushui Liucup Party'. Moreover, the Tibetan Sword Villa also generously donated money, with two hundred Good wine on the altar to add to the fun, only this day, the city is full of joy, a thousand cups of good wine, drifting in the city, do not push or grab, everyone has a share! I hope you drink all the good wine and return the wine bowl to help others. .”

Accompanied by Ye Ying, Ye Mengqiu stood on the city wall and looked down at the sentient beings.The governor really had nothing to say, so he specially invited both the Ye family father and son, and wanted Ye Mengqiu to say a few words, but Ye Mengqiu is from the Jianghu, and he has all the habits of the Jianghu, so he doesn't like it at all. Weak and inappropriate yelled and refused.

After the Qushui Liushang meeting started, Ye Mengqiu asked Ye Ying to share the wine.He is not good at words, Ye Mengqiu felt that it would be hard to force him to stay in such a situation where polite words are needed, so he simply asked this young man to distribute wine, implying "you go and play too" mean.Ye Ying understood it, but he wasn't very interested in such a gathering, he might as well distribute wine.

Ye Tianji led the way, and there were already six disciples in the villa who were filling wine on the bank of the river.He squatted on the bank, took the wine Ye Tianji had poured, and gently placed it on the river.

The Shangsi Festival is a festival to get rid of evil spirits. Ye Ying has always loved cleanliness, and evil spirits can't stay in him.If he had to say it, he hoped that Haitang could get rid of the evil, and it would be best to ask a witch to do it.He didn't want to go through her illness last year again.

"Eldest son, someone called me, I'll go and have a look."

"Go."

When Ye Ying turned around, there was no one around.

It was obviously a lively day, but under the lively atmosphere, he became a person.Ye Ying poured the last of the wine into the container in her hand, and wanted to let it go too, but she always felt that there was no harm in drinking it on such a day.

Ye Ying, who is not weak, has never drank a drop at home, but now she has a sip, and it is sweet and spicy.I can't say I like it, but at least I don't hate it.He stood up holding the wine glass, and a red and yellow figure slowly came into his sight.

As if waiting for someone, she closed the thing she was holding, picked up a bowl of wine from the river and tasted it.Ye Ying always felt that she resembled someone, but no matter how good his eyesight was, he couldn't really see her side face under the dim light.

Ye Ying took a few steps forward.

A strong premonition in my heart wanted him to approach, but logically it was impossible for that person to appear here.Ye Ying stopped, and the man suddenly screamed: "Ah!"

I saw her patted her chest, her startled appearance was endearing.

"It turned out to be a toad!"

It was really her.

Ye Ying took a few steps forward, and the distance between the two was less than twenty feet.She raised her head, looking in his direction.Ye Ying saw her simple bun with delicate hairpins, the red and yellow skirt she was wearing, the surprised expression on her face, and the way she walked forward in a daze.I don't know why I'm always used to seeing her in military uniforms, but now looking at her little daughter's outfits, I feel that if anyone marries her, they will surely see her dressed up like this every day, so cute and witty. look like.

"Begonia." Ye Ying took the initiative to say hello.

Almost in disbelief, she turned her head stiffly, and only after confirming again and again that she saw Ye Ying, she said softly, "Is it you..."

"Ah."

She raised the hem of her skirt and ran forward, but the land was divided into two parts by the water, and the water surface about five feet wide stopped her pace.If it was ordinary clothes, she would have waded there, but today she was wearing an incomparably precious skirt.

Haitang hesitated.

She raised her head, Ye Ying was opposite, and she was about to step into the water.

"I'm coming, wait a minute, I'm coming." Haitang took a few steps back, Ye Ying understood that she wanted to jump over.Holding the hem of her skirt, she took small steps to run, and then jumped up.Didn't use any light work, and didn't have any deliberation, Haitang just jumped over the water like an ordinary person.

Ye Ying put down her wine glass, opened her arms, and took her firmly in her arms.

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Haitang lay half in his arms, raised her head and asked with a smile, "Does it look good?"

"Ah."

"That's good."

Haitang stood firm, Ye Ying let go of her hand, and picked up the wine glass on the ground.Haitang followed beside her with a smile, carefully looking at Ye Ying's attire.She seemed to have seen this dress before, it was the one he wore when he met Ye Ying for the first time - no, upon closer inspection, this one seemed to be more luxurious than that one.

Ye Ying returned the wine glass, Haitang had already landed diagonally behind him, she didn't know what she was laughing at, she just looked at him with a smile, she looked as cute as a shy girl who wanted to see her sweetheart more.Ye Ying simply stopped, waited for Haitang to slowly move to his side, and then pulled her wrist.

Different from the feeling of touching the wrist guard when wearing military uniforms in the past, Ye Ying's body temperature is directly transmitted to Haitang through the wrist.Her face turned red immediately, and she was dragged by Ye Ying for a short walk.The two walked through the bustling market and arrived at the northern part of Yangzhou City where there were no people.Only then did Ye Ying realize that her hand touched Haitang so directly, thinking that Haitang didn't like it, she let go of her hand lightly.

Unexpectedly, the usually strong and slender hand tugged on his cuffs actively but gently today, and then took the initiative to hold his hand.Ye Ying or Haitang, no one spoke, but kept this tacit understanding and walked slowly along the moat.

The little girl selling flowers on the side of the road held the basket and timidly stopped Ye Ying and Haitang, and took out a bunch of flowers from the basket, "Master, madam, buy a bunch of orchid grass, it's Shangsi Festival today, it's a fragrant herb to exorcise evil spirits, May the old lady be healthy and have a full house of children and grandchildren.”

"We are not..." Haitang was about to say that they are not husband and wife, but saw that the little girl had tears in her eyes.She smiled, and gently let go of Ye Ying's hand, but she never thought that the man would refuse to let go.I had no choice but to squat down and pat the little girl's head, and said softly, "What's your name, where are your parents?"

"My name is a girl." The little girl replied honestly: "Father doesn't like me being a girl, so he always calls me a dead girl. But my father went to Tiandu Town to do business before and never came back. Mother is sick again. I want to sell bluegrass to treat my mother."

Tiandu Town... probably died in that fake plague.

Noticing Haitang's eyes, a warm hand patted on the back of Haitang's hand, which seemed to comfort her.Haitang raised her head, smiled softly at Ye Ying, and brought the girl to the side of the road with Ye Ying behind her ear, squatting beside her at the same time.Haitang nodded to Ye Ying to show that she understood, and then asked softly: "Are there no other relatives at home?"

The girl shook her head.

"Girl, we bought your flowers, hurry back and ask the doctor to treat your mother." Just after Haitang finished speaking, Ye Ying handed over a golden pendant.The little girl has never seen such a valuable thing since she was a child. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, sir, thank you madam! But you don't need so many, bluegrass is not worth so much..."

"I say it's worth it." Haitang picked her up with a smile, and gently rubbed her head, "Go and treat your mother quickly, if some bad people rob your things and don't treat your mother, you go Look for me or Hu Ruozi at West Nine Square, say that you have been bullied, then I will come to help you. Remember?"

"Yeah!" The girl nodded vigorously, "Thank you Eldest Master, thank you Eldest Madam, thank you benefactor!"

"go quickly."

Seeing the figure of the little girl running away, Haitang always felt a little queasy in her heart.Ye Ying picked up the bluegrass she had left in place, let go of her hand, and pinned the bluegrass on Haitang's hair the next moment.

Haitang blushed immediately, Ye Ying took her hand again, and said softly: "The bluegrass wards off evil spirits."

Haitang suddenly remembered what Lan Zhiyuan said.He said that the Shangsi Festival is a day for cultivating evil spirits, and the so-called cultivating evil spirits is to get rid of evil spirits. Everyone likes to use bluegrass to dispel evil spirits because it is very clean and fragrant.

She really worried Ye Ying.

He lowered his head slightly, and the joy in his heart was forcibly suppressed.How can this work, she can't be so bad.Ye Ying was really worried about her, how could she be happy?It's right not to make him worry, isn't it?

"Worried about girl?"

Haitang nodded, although there was also this element, but it was more because she was ashamed of her shamelessness.

"Tomorrow, I will ask Tianji to follow her." Ye Ying paused, "You said, are you in West Nine Square?"

Haitang looked straight ahead, "Yeah, I moved here a few days ago."

"..."

"Why, you're not welcome?" She blinked mischievously, "I've already gone through the ceremony of being a teacher, and I can travel abroad, so I came to Yangzhou to practice. Or, can I not be in Yangzhou?"

The graduation ceremony... "Jiji?"

Haitang scratched her head, a few strands of hair were brought out by her nails from the neatly coiled hair, "Well, the Tiance Mansion is not up to the mark, we all pass the assessment, and those who pass the examination are allowed to become teachers, and then we can Going out on a trip——then it should be the Jiji you mentioned, right? I have a new military uniform, and the hair crown is very heroic!"

Seeing that Ye Ying didn't respond, Haitang added another sentence: "In other words, I can live in Yangzhou until I don't want to."

Ye Ying smiled, "Okay."

Ye Ying's smile stunned Haitang.She knew that Ye Ying had an outstanding appearance, and she had seen his smile several times, but it was the first time she had seen him smile so brightly like today.

"Shhhhhhh!"

This sound awakened Haitang from her dazed world.The two looked up at the sky at the same time, and silver flowers bloomed in the sky.After one flower blooms, another rises and blooms one after another, and the night sky becomes the best curtain, showing these fleeting but incomparably gorgeous beauties.Begonia grew up so big and had never seen such a big firework before, so she jumped up happily, "Brother Ying, look, it's fireworks!"

Ye Ying looked at the rising fireworks, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.Turning his eyes to the little girl beside him, she was staring at the sky and screaming, holding his hand but never letting go for a moment.Ye Ying suddenly felt that such a day was very good. She practiced swords alone in the Sword Tomb on weekdays. If she had any ideas, she could try to compete with Haitang. During the holidays, she could still see Haitang with a bright smile that was not inferior to the fireworks...

"Begonia."

"Ok?"

Countless dull "Puff" sounds in the distance indicate that there are many more fireworks will bloom, and the world is so quiet at this moment.Haitang raised her head to look at Ye Ying, Ye Ying's expression could not be seen in the night sky, but the smile on her lips made Haitang stunned.

He's really, really good looking.

"Ying, I admire you."

"Bang bang -- bang bang --" is the sound of a heartbeat.

"Crack!" Is the sound of fireworks blooming.

The senior sister said to take the initiative.

Haitang voluntarily closed her eyes.

——Then Ye Ying gently scraped the bridge of her nose, "Nonsense."
