Rebirth of Tao Yao

The border town is really not a prosperous place, especially for Princess Roujia, who came from the most prosperous capital of the Liang Kingdom, it is even considered barren.The only difference from the capital city is that this is the closest place to the Hu people. Occasionally, there will be Hu merchants coming and going, bringing some popular gadgets among the Hu people, so you can see something fresh when you first meet them.

Of course, Roujia had seen enough of this kind of novelty when she first came here, and now she has lost much interest in this "barren" border town.

When Wen Ziran came out from the inner room to change clothes, Rou Jia was looking at her bedroom boredly.The small room is tidy, with beds and wardrobes inside, a set of tables and chairs outside, and a desk near the window—most of these were left by the previous owner of the courtyard, but the desk does not look like a decoration, at least There are also pens and ink and a few books on it.

Rou Jia's eyes were set on the book table, and after hesitating for a while, she even walked over to pick up the book and read it.They are not precious books, but just a few travel notes to pass the time, but it is even more strange because Wen Ziran can't see it. What are these books in her room? To read to her?

The little princess's intuition is not the case, but it is not easy to ask.Seeing Wen Ziran come out, she hurriedly put down the book in her hand, and asked with a smile: "It's a rare trip, does Ziran need to dress up? My maid is here, she is the best at dressing up."

Wen Ziran smiled lightly when he heard the words, but said: "Thank you Princess for your kindness, there is no need."

Fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls are at their best time, even if they are naked, they are still beautiful, but too much makeup will ruin that natural agility.Rou Jia had to admit that Wen Ziran, who didn't wear makeup like this, was still very good-looking, but she still felt a little sorry in her heart. It was a pity that it was rare for Yan Li to suffer and be locked up outside, but she couldn't make him wait any longer.

With these regrets, the two girls walked out of the courtyard again, and Roujia saw Yan Li's face darken unexpectedly.She raised her eyebrows, with a little complacency, and finally felt a little elated.

Yan Li disliked the little princess in front of her more and more, but because of her status, she couldn't do anything after all.He held back his temper and didn't speak, but Wen Ziran was keenly aware of the difference in the atmosphere and asked, "Where are we going?"

Then Rou Jia withdrew her provocative gaze, and replied: "The town here is very small, and I visited it a few days ago, and it's not very interesting. Otherwise, let's go out of the city to have a look. I remember someone told me, There is a peach grove outside the city, isn’t it time for peaches to grow? Also, there seems to be a river beside the peach grove where you can fish.”

The little princess said that she was obviously very interested. She was born as a nobleman. She has enjoyed peach blossoms and eaten peaches, but she has never picked them by herself.Moreover, the little princess likes to eat peaches. After learning that there is such a place outside the border city, he immediately became interested. As for fishing, it was all incidental.

Yan Li was noncommittal after hearing this, but Wen Ziran hesitated for a moment: "Are you going out of the city..."

Rou Jia also knew what she was worried about, so she comforted her: "My carriage is quite spacious and comfortable, so it's no problem to ride with me." After speaking, she glanced at Yan Li, and she didn't know what kind of state of mind she was in, and said: "What's more There is also Little General Yan, so he must be reluctant to wrong you."

The relationship between the three has always been weird.Speaking of their unequal status, the little princess came from the royal family with the highest status, and the little general Yan was also an official after all, only Wen Ziran was an ordinary citizen.At another time, at another place, Rou Jia might only regret a few words when she met her, but now with Yan Li among them, everything is different.

The little general suddenly became jealous, and the little princess was competitive while pity, Wen Ziran became the center of dispute between the two inexplicably.They seemed to put Wen Ziran in a position that was too high, but Wen Ziran knew his own weight in his heart, and he would not think too highly of himself or submit to it, but fortunately, the two of them had no bad intentions, so this weird relationship also became a reality. It just kept going.

At this time, without waiting for Wen Ziran to say anything, Yan Li said: "It's rare for the princess to say something serious. There are some places where you can't go by carriage. If Ziran is willing, I can take you there on horseback."

Wen Ziran, who once again became the center of the dispute, felt helpless and could only sigh in his heart.

****************************************************************************

What Rou Jia heard was not wrong, there really was a wild peach grove outside the border town.

Enjoying flowers in spring and eating fruits in summer, even the rough-natured border townspeople love this peach grove very much.Especially in the spring when peach blossoms are everywhere, boys in border towns love to meet girls there, fold a peach blossom, and tell a lovesickness.And in summer, there are no girls and boys, and there are many people who come to pick peaches in this peach forest.

Yan Li knew that the group of men in the barracks outside the city liked to run to the peach forest when they were free, and it didn't take much time or effort to go back with the peaches in their pockets.Everyone gathered together and gnawed it happily, and it was a sweet taste.

Knowing that people in the military camp like to pick peaches, Yan Li didn't expect anything left in the peach grove when he came.After the group arrived, the little princess looked at the empty branches, and couldn't believe it: "Is this a peach tree? Didn't we come to the wrong place?!"

Yan Li walked behind, with extra heavy steps, turning her head from time to time to look at Wen Ziran who followed carefully.Hearing this, he snorted lightly: "This peach tree doesn't belong to your family, why don't you allow others to come first?"

At this time, Roujia didn't care about his tone, she still couldn't believe it, she pointed to the row of peach trees in front of her and said: "But, it's fine if there are no ripe peaches, how can there be even an unripe green peach on this tree?" No?!"

Naturally, the peaches on the tree will not be agreed to ripen in one day, some are earlier, some are later, some are even round and beautiful, and some are dry and ugly.Logically speaking, even if someone came to pick the peaches, the branch should not look like it has been ransacked once, and there is not even a small green fruit or crooked melon and cracked dates left.But Yan Li didn't take it seriously, and replied leisurely: "They were all taken away by the children."

Most of the children owe money, and the children in the border towns are raised in free range. Climbing a tree is not worth mentioning at all.The peach trees that Roujia sees now are all on the periphery, and they have been harmed from the beginning of fruiting, so naturally there is nothing left.

The little princess was stunned when he heard the words, and then he was greatly disappointed.But she stood back on the carriage, tiptoed to look again, and felt that the peach grove was really not small, so it wouldn't be possible for all the peaches to be picked away, right?Thinking of this, Fu became interested again, and waved his hands: "My princess doesn't believe it anymore, the peach forest is so big, there must be some newly grown fish that escaped the net, let's go to the forest to have a look."

Yan Li is still noncommittal.He discovered that the little princess seemed to be so interested in picking peaches that after getting off the carriage, she didn't stick to Wen Ziran very much, and didn't pay much attention to him... This was just right, the little general was not interested in peaches, so instead of following the little princess It's a waste of time, he might as well take a quiet walk with Miss Wen.

It's just a pity that there are no peach blossoms in the peach forest in summer, otherwise even if Wen Ziran can't see it, it's good to smell the fragrance of the flowers and touch the petals.

Thinking of this, Yan Li ignored Rou Jia and let her take a few maidservants to the forest to find peaches.He walked in front, and when he turned his head from time to time, he could see Wen Ziran following him quietly. She followed him every step of the way, almost stepping on his footsteps.This made Yan Li feel a little strange, and his steps became smaller.

Almost all the accompanying people left with Rou Jia, and disappeared among the shadows of trees after a while.

Yan Li and Wen Ziran walked one after the other like this, Yan Li always looked back after taking two steps, as if he was afraid that the people behind him would be lost.After so many times, he was a little impatient, so he stopped.

Wen Ziran heard it, stopped her footsteps, and raised her head for no reason: "Brother, what's the matter?"

Yan Li stared at her for a while, then suddenly reached out to hold her hand, and said, "Don't always follow me, walk with me."

The girl's hand is slender and soft, and it is more comfortable to nest in the palm than the finest warm jade, which makes people feel nostalgic and reluctant to let go.Yan Li's mind wandered, it was the first time he was so deeply aware of the difference between girls and boys - like Gao Dashan and others, their palms were broad and rough, and people were rougher than their palms, when people wanted to hit them, even a There is no reason to be softhearted.

Wen Ziran was led by Yan Li, deviated from the previous route, and started walking side by side with him.But what Yan Li didn't notice was that Wen Ziran's originally dull eyes seemed to be emptied a little bit more, and an imperceptible trace of daze appeared on his face, which disappeared after a while.

The scorching sun above the head has long scorched the earth again, but the branches and leaves in the peach forest are flourishing, and the projected sunlight is divided by layers of branches and leaves, and all of them are turned into spots of different sizes.If it falls on people like this, it will not have the power of the summer sun, but will add a different style.Occasionally, when a gust of wind passes by, those scattered light spots will also sway.

The two walked quietly in the peach grove, Yan Li would occasionally turn his head to look at the people around him, feeling a rare sense of peace in his heart.

Yan Li was not the only one who felt this way, Wen Ziran smelled the faint sweet fragrance of peaches in the air, and also felt satisfied and peaceful.Looking back on the past, the memories related to Yan Li are almost all suffering, death, blood, parting, everything makes people feel sad, and there is almost no peace when they join hands like this.

This made her a little greedy for the beauty of the moment, so she didn't say a word, for fear of breaking the tranquility of the moment.

Until Yan Li next to her asked her: "Zi Ran, do you want to eat peaches?"

They had already slowly reached the depths of the peach forest, and fish that escaped the net began to appear on the branches.In fact, there is no need to look for it specially, just walk here and pick a couple of peaches to try something new is enough.

Yan Li let go of his hand without waiting for Wen Ziran's answer. He has practiced martial arts all year round and has a flexible posture. He stepped on the trunk and jumped onto the peach tree in two or three steps.When Wen Ziran felt disappointed because he let go, he had already returned with two peaches that were not easy for ordinary people to pick. Then he pulled out the dagger hidden at his waist, and peeled off the skin in two or three strokes, revealing the whiteness inside. Red pulp comes.

The unique sweet fragrance of peaches diffused, and the disappointment on Wen Ziran's face was concealed. She "looked" at Yan Li with soft eyebrows.

However, just as Yan Li finished peeling a peach and was about to hand it to Wen Ziran, Rou Jia came back.She was smiling triumphantly, and the accompanying servants came back with three pockets full of peaches!
