Chapter 466 Xie Yunyao Chapter 7
Xiaoqingshan has a beautiful scenery.
There is a large peach blossom forest on the mountain, with red and pink peach blossoms blooming on the branches.
Many people come here to enjoy the flowers and go for an outing.
Xie Yunyao and the others stayed at the foot of the mountain for a while to regroup, then started walking up the mountain path.
Under the peach blossom forest, various crisp and tender green wild grasses have also popped up, creating a vibrant scene.
A few young girls were chatting as they walked up the mountain.
From time to time, low, crisp laughter could be heard.
The followers followed at a distance behind, making sure that their masters would not disappear from their sight and that they would not be in danger.
The youngest, Xie Congyue, and Xie Meixian, were walking around under the trees, occasionally laughing. They looked so happy.
Xie Yunyao and the others were also infected by the two children and looked at them with smiles on their faces.
The group walked slowly up the mountain along the path. Both sides of the path were planted with peach blossoms. When the breeze blew, petals fell from the branches.
Whether falling on the body or on the hair, the pretty petals add a bit of beauty to the already beautiful girls.
Many people go out for an outing during the Qingming Festival.
They are all young men and women.
In the peach blossom forest, scholars and students reciting poems and composing couplets can be seen everywhere.
There were also groups of young ladies from prominent families.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Xie Yunyao and her group put on cone hats to avoid unnecessary trouble.
It’s not that they are ugly in appearance, but their identities are different. If they appear rashly, they might cause others to stop and watch.
This might cause unnecessary trouble.
But even if they wore hats, their graceful figures made it clear at a glance that they were young women.
Many people looked sideways.
They have also become accustomed to other people's gazes, and now that there is a layer of gauze separating them, they don't feel any burden.
Several people kept walking up the mountain.
After walking for half an hour, we finally reached the top of Xiaoqing Mountain.
Standing here, you can see the towering city walls, majestic towers, and the wide moat under the towers of Chang'an City.
This is really a great place for an outing and climbing.
Climbing high and looking far makes one feel excited.
After choosing a place with a wide view, they immediately asked the servants who accompanied them to come forward and set up a low table with soft cushions, tea sets, snacks and fruits, so that they could enjoy the flowers and chat.
Xie Yunying suddenly wanted to pick the peach blossoms from the branch to make tea, and Xie Yunyao smiled and obeyed her.
The peach blossoms are beautiful, but the petals have a slightly astringent taste when used to make tea.
Since my sister is willing to try it, let’s give it a try.
There are only a few petals.
Originally, Xie Yunyao thought that her sister was just picking a few flowers to taste, but who would have thought that she would actually grab the branch and shake it vigorously.
In an instant, petals fluttered down like raindrops from the sky, just like snowflakes falling from the sky.
Xie Yunyao raised her head slightly and squinted her eyes to look at the flying petals.
Just then, a breeze blew by, lifting a corner of her cone-shaped hat, and her beautiful face, as bright as a peach or plum, flashed by.
"What a beautiful girl."
Several scholars passing by were fascinated by the beautiful figures under the tree and stood in a daze in the distance, not knowing how to leave.
"Gentlemen, my master likes quietness, please move to another place to enjoy the scenery."
Tiezi stepped forward and interrupted the distracted people.
At the same time, it also blocked their view.
Speak neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Although he was wearing the clothes of a servant, they were definitely not something an ordinary family could have.
From his words and actions, the scholars could roughly guess that this was a big family in Chang'an City.
Their rudeness must have really disturbed the noble man.
Several scholars lowered their heads and turned to leave obediently, but one of them still glanced at Xie Yunyao and the others before leaving.
"This young man."
Tiezi's tone had become a little cold.
The other party reluctantly withdrew his gaze and bowed very respectfully to Tiezi.
"Excuse me, little brother, could you tell me whose noble family is here? I am Wu Dongjiang, and I am sorry for disturbing your pleasure. I will prepare a generous gift and come to apologize someday."
Wu Dongjiang is a very wealthy businessman in Jiangnan.
Jiang Shubai did this just to use the Jiang family's name to let his friends know that he is not an ordinary person.
His family is rich, with lots and lots of money.
Generally, officials would greet the Jiang family with a smile when they saw them.
Besides, he came to Beijing this year to study and take part in this year's autumn examination.
If he could pass the imperial examination, their Jiang family would be even more powerful.
What kind of noble ladies would not be there by then?
Jiang Shubai's gentle face hides a lot of thoughts.
Tiezi looked him up and down, then said in a cold tone, "Sir, please move aside and don't disturb my wife."
"lady?"
When Jiang Shubai heard Tiezi's address, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face. "So it's Madam. Sorry for the offense."
Jiang Shubai turned and left, chasing after his classmates.
Tiezi looked at his back with a cold expression and said nothing.
Xie Yunyao and the others stayed in Xiaoqingshan until noon, then slowly went down the mountain and returned home.
I stayed in the peach forest for too long, and I felt like my whole body was filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.
There were many peach petals falling on her hair, some of which were covered with pollen. She always felt weird if she didn't wash them.
Therefore, the first thing Xie Yunyao did when she returned home was to ask Hong Xing to tell the maid in the kitchen to bring some hot water so that she could take a bath.
When Xie Liu heard that Xie Yunyao had returned, he immediately returned to the inner courtyard from the study.
When he entered the room, he saw Xie Yunyao fixing her hair in front of the mirror. He walked up to her, held her hand, and took off the hairpin on her head.
"Where's Hong Xing? Why is the lady taking off her hair herself?"
"I asked her to fetch some water. Peach blossoms have fallen all over her today, and she's sitting on the ground, so the smell is a bit strong."
"Taste? What does it taste like?"
Xie Liu said as he sniffed her like a dog, "It's just the scent."
Xie Yunyao blushed. "What are you doing in broad daylight?" She quickly reached out and pushed the furry head in front of her away. "Can't you pay attention to the impact?"
"Hmm? It was my wife who said it stinks, and I just wanted to help her confirm it. Did I do anything wrong?"
Xie Liu looked sincere.
Xie Yunyao was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Anyway, this man is good at pretending, and she doesn't believe what he says.
Xie Liu stopped teasing her and finished combing her hair obediently.
A head of waist-length black hair fell down.
Xie Liu couldn't help but run his fingers gently through her hair and comb it for her.
"Will it be fun to go hiking today?"
"Well, the peach blossoms are so beautiful and there are so many people." Xie Yunyao said to him in a tender voice. When she talked about the beautiful peach blossoms, her eyes were full of smiles.
"My sister said that she used peach blossoms to make tea, but the tea turned out not to be sweet. She said she was deceived by the beautiful appearance of peach blossoms."
When she thought of something interesting, her eyes lit up and the corners of her lips curved softly and sweetly.
Xie Liu also looked at her with a smile between his eyebrows and listened to her words.
It’s strange to say, these are obviously very ordinary and common words, but if someone else said them, Xie Liu might not listen to a word.
But when these words come out of Xie Yunyao's mouth, they sound so interesting no matter how you listen to them.
