The day after the encounter, Yu Qiuping couldn't concentrate all day long, and his mind was filled with the beautiful image of the girl. The whole morning of settling accounts was not as efficient as the usual hour. He cooked the porridge twice during lunch and talked with Asahina.
Taehyung accidentally bumped into a pillar while wandering around the city.
"Did I say you kid? Are you crazy?" Asahina Taehyung looked at Yu Qiuping who hit a pillar and fell to the ground. He laughed so hard, "Why don't you look at the road when you are walking?"
"The way you look now, you look a bit like Okabe Masatsuna," Asahina Taehyung smiled and slapped his thigh, "You were walking without looking at the road. That guy bumped into my carriage, hahahaha..."
"You know, boy," Asahina Taehyung suddenly came to Yu Qiuping's side, keeping a distance from the servants behind him, "that boy from the Okabe family has fallen in love with our princess! The apple of our family governor's eye.
!A beautiful woman who is only twenty-eight years old!" Asahina Taehyung said and laughed, "I feel like I have lost my soul all day long. It looks exactly like you now...eh?" Asahina Taehyung said,
He seemed to suddenly understand something, "Isn't there a girl you like, right?"
"How... how is it possible!" Yu Qiuping's face turned red when he was told something that was on his mind, "I have only just arrived here not long ago, how could it be possible that..."
"You're blushing, haha, you kid," Asahina Taehyung patted Yu Qiuping's shoulder, "Okay! Do you want me to help you propose marriage?"
"It's nothing!" Yu Qiuping blushed and broke away from Taehyung Asahina's hand and turned against him, "Brother, how come you haven't married a wife at the age of nineteen?"
"Hey, don't mention it," Asahina Taehyung slapped his forehead in embarrassment, "Originally, my brother helped me find a daughter of the Sekiguchi family, but the day I went to meet Ujihiro was too frivolous, and I left the vase that Ujihiro had kept for many years.
I was smashed, and the people of the clan kicked me out in anger. Fortunately, the engagement has not been announced to the public, otherwise it would be embarrassing." Asahina Taehyung chuckled, "Those adults think that I am not stable enough and don't want to entrust their daughter to me.
.My brother was not willing to help me find a civilian girl, so I was delayed.
"Brother, although you are not stable, you are very loyal. Those adults are short-sighted," Yu Qiuping comforted, "If I marry my daughter to you, my daughter will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."
"Hey, you think so highly of me!" Asahina Taehyung suddenly became happy.
"Brother saved me twice. The life-saving grace is unforgettable." Yu Qiuping nodded gratefully, "Brother, why don't you propose marriage to that beautiful princess you mentioned?"
"Then you might as well let me marry the daughter of Ujihiro." Asahina Taehyung was frightened when he mentioned the princess. "That princess sister is amazing. She is many times smarter than me. She used to go to the castle tower and marry her."
When she plays, she is teased all the time, so I don’t dare to look for her. I don’t know if that brat Zheng Gang is so brave that he wants to find the princess all day long, but is rejected every day, hahahaha..."
"Thick eyebrows! Who are you talking about!" Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind them. Asahina Taiheng and Yu Qiupei turned around and saw a young man glaring angrily. Behind them were a group of Ashigaru and Okabe family flags.
Ashigaru, who were carrying the Asahina family's flag, were confronting each other on the street. Seeing this, the people on both sides dispersed, trying to avoid these two evil stars.
"Xiaoyan, do you have any dissatisfaction?" Asahina Taehyung crossed his hands on his chest and looked at that person with a provocative look. He was probably the young master of the Okabe family, Okabe Masatsuna.
Thick eyebrows? Small eyes? Yu Qiuping quickly looked at the facial features of the two people and found that although they were enemies, the nicknames they gave each other were still very vivid.
"What's wrong? Have you found a new follower?" Yu Qiuping, who was planning to watch a show, was suddenly touched by Okabe Masatsuna with his hand, "Where did you get this bad guy?"
"That's the dog that ate your conscience yesterday." The insulted Yu Qiuping retorted unceremoniously.
This novel way of making excuses and insults made everyone present feel confused for a moment. After a while, the Asahina family's entourage and Asahina Taiheng burst into laughter respectively. The Okabe family's entourage glared at Ame Qiupei, and Okabe Masatsuna wanted to
Yu Qiuping ate it.
"Ah! Hahaha..." Asahina Taehiro pointed at Okabe Masatsuna and smiled, "Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Ah? Little eyes!" After that, he kept twiddling his index finger, "Do you want to come?
Try to take your conscience back!"
"Thick eyebrows! Go to hell!" Okabe Masatsuna rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward without saying a word.
A fierce fight came to an end after the security officer arrived in time. At this time, the sun had already set to the west. Yu Qiuping was not involved in the group fight because of his coquettish stance. A dozen followers and a dozen followers were fighting.
It's hard to tell, but Okabe Masatsuna is obviously no match for Asahina Taehyung. Although he is a strong young man, he was beaten to the ground by Asahina Taehyung in a few blows.
After it was over, Asahina Taehyung continued to wander on the street with a dozen of his followers who were bruised and swollen. The followers behind him seemed to be accustomed to this kind of life. No wonder the followers on both sides were already at war with each other during the confrontation. It seemed that not only was there fighting
Just once.
"So, which girl is this?" Asahina Taehyung has been annoying Yu Qiuping all the way.
"Hey, forget it, tell brother, don't bother me." Yu Qiuping sighed, "I met a beautiful girl yesterday, but she looks like a daughter of a wealthy family, so I don't want to reveal her name, and it's inconvenient for me.
Q. It will be difficult to meet him again in the future."
"Hey, you kid! You usually have so many ideas, why are you so timid when it comes to big things!" Asahina Taehyung mocked, "I went up and asked right then! Just get rolled! It's better than never seeing each other again.
Bar!"
"Brother, please stop talking. I regret it so much now," Yu Qiuping felt regretful in his heart when he thought that he could no longer hear such a sweet laughter or see that playful smile.
"Why don't you go and wait where you met him or her yesterday? Maybe we can meet him again?" Asahina Taehyung said casually.
"Hey!" Yu Qiuping then realized that although the girl had been picked up by her father, her family's ancestral home was still there. Maybe she would go back to visit often.
"Thank you, brother!" Yu Qiuping didn't say much. He left Asahina Taehyung and ran away without saying a word. By the time Asahina Taehyung could react, Yu Qiuping had already ran out of the street.
"This kid runs pretty fast."
Yu Qiuping hurried to the back mountain. When he passed the intersection at the foot of the mountain, he saw an ox cart in the distance.
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt extremely happy.
That's right, she's here again.
Yu Qiuping walked up the mountain quickly, even faster than the first time. When he finally climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the red leaves all over the mountain, the familiar figure came into view. Today, she wore a light pink kimono
, her hair was also tied up with a blue hairpin.
"Ping Jun!" The girl saw Yu Qiuping's arrival and came forward with some surprise. "What a pity," she sighed, "it's too late and I can't talk to you any more."
"It's okay, it's just that I'm late." Yu Qiuping's face turned red, and he was incoherent for a moment. He answered an inexplicable sentence casually. He felt a little embarrassed, so he said again, "Is that ox cart at the bottom of the mountain belonging to the lady's family?
?”
"That's right," the girl nodded. "The maple leaf forest is the most beautiful under the sunset." She turned around and looked at the mountain forest that reflected the sunset. "Young Master Ping can take a good look at it. I'll excuse you now."
After saying that, the girl bowed Yingying and turned around to leave.
Yu Qiuping felt his heart sink again. After hesitating again and again, he finally gritted his teeth and chased after him.
When the girl heard the footsteps behind her, she turned her head in surprise. The hair on her forehead was slightly scattered by the wind.
"Miss... I... would like to take the liberty of asking a question." Yu Qiuping said with some stuttering.
"Ping Jun, please speak." The girl trimmed her hair and smiled. It was this breathtaking smile that encouraged Yu Qiuping to boldly ask: "Excuse me, Miss...will you come here again to see the maple leaves tomorrow afternoon?"
"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yu Qiuping regretted whether he had offended the beauty. His heart suddenly kicked into his throat. Time seemed to have frozen. Yu Qiuping concentrated on studying the girl's expression, eager to get even the slightest hint from it.
A gust of north wind blew up, picking up a red leaf on the ground and floating it towards the girl.
The girl quickly pinched the red leaf with her index and middle fingers, and twisted it horizontally to cover her face.
Yu Qiuping didn't know that the girl was hiding the curve of her mouth.
As soon as the girl let go, the red leaf disappeared with the wind again.
"As long as all the red leaves in this maple forest have not fallen," the girl turned around with a smile, "I will come every day."
So, in the following days, going to the back mountain to see the maple leaves became an unshakable part of Yu Qiupei's daily schedule. It replaced the past hanging out with Asahina Taehyung and playing Cuju with his uncle. Charlie and Chibei would be surprised every day
I watched Yu Qiuping hurriedly out of the house at the last minute, and then ran back before dinner. His face was full of glory before leaving, and he was extremely excited after he came back. But usually after dinner, he would start to frown again and refuse to listen.
Complaining about how time passes so slowly.
"Sir, what's going on here?" the guard once asked Charlie in private.
"To be honest with you, I don't know either. I don't have the ability to understand the mysterious Easterners." Charlie spread his hands.
This state lasted until one day, when the big-mouthed Asahina Taehyung came to the shop after Yu Qiuping went out, he proudly announced the fact that Yu Qiuping was in love and asked the two to keep it secret. Therefore, Yu Qiuping thought that his
He hid the secret very well, and every time he came up with all kinds of excuses to sneak out. As soon as he left, the guards and Charlie would smile knowingly. If Yu Qiuping knew, Asahina Taehyung would have revealed it early
If you find out his secret, you can't help but piss him off to death, causing him to perform for so long in vain, like a fool.
