35. Wrongful love in Merlin
Everyone talked softly, but they all said the same as yesterday: "That is the eldest lady of the Bai family."
Yunsheng smiled helplessly, ignored it, and followed Mrs. Bai into the garden.
But in her heart, she felt helpless and complained that she was just a young lady from a merchant family.
I have only lived in the mountains for more than ten years since I was a child.
But I just returned to Chang'an not long ago...
Do people need to be so curious about themselves?
The few people were talking loudly, and the servants led the way without saying a word. Mrs. Bai patted Yunsheng's hand lightly, but said nothing.
For some reason, Yunsheng always felt that since he returned to Chang'an, he felt like he was back at the zoo.
But the difference is that I am not the one who comes to see the animals, but the one who is being looked at.
This eldest princess's mansion is very different from what Yun Sheng originally thought.
Not only are there few carved beams and painted buildings here, but there is also no luxury or grandeur.
Even the decorations and furnishings are extremely simple, and there is an air of elegance everywhere.
Walking along the gravel road, there are trees planted on both sides and rockeries.
There was a heavy snowfall in Chang'an the day before yesterday. The snow is still thick and no one has touched it. It adds a touch of natural wildness.
After going around several paths, we came to a verandah.
The servant pointed to the open mahogany door under the eaves and said: "Mrs. Bai, Miss Bai, inside is where today's banquet will be held. Please come."
Yun Sheng nodded and thanked her, then followed Mrs. Bai towards the small door.
After passing through this small mahogany door, there is something else inside.
A bunch of winter plum blossoms of various colors are standing on the white snow.
Either it's cold, or the garden is filled with delicate plum blossoms.
A gust of cold wind passed by, causing plum blossoms to fall.
Seeing such a scene in front of him, Yunsheng couldn't help but think of his days on Lingyun Peak.
Master Xingxin and Master Yuanshui are good at wine, so every year they ask Yun Sheng, the only free man on Lingyun Peak, to pick barrels full of apricot blossoms so that they can be used to make wine.
Yunsheng thought of those pleasant days and couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face.
When he came to his senses, he saw that Mrs. Bai had walked to the front and was laughing and chatting with several women.
Yun Sheng was not a person who liked to join in the fun, so he simply did not step forward, but stepped on the white snow and entered the plum forest.
The snow-white deerskin boots embroidered with a few scattered apricot flowers made a soft "creep" sound when stepping on the snow.
Yunsheng raised his head and looked at the bunch of five-petal red plum blossoms in bloom above his head, and smiled lightly.
A jade-like plain hand stretched out from the cloak, trying to press down the plum blossom and take a look.
But Yun Sheng forgot that she was just a little girl who was not yet fifteen years old, so she was naturally not tall.
She stretched out her arms and stood on tiptoes, but she was still a little short.
Yun Sheng saw that there was no one in front of him, and he wanted to use the half-empty Qing Kung Fu he had learned from Uncle Yuanshui.
But who would have expected that when Yun Shengfang raised her breath, she suddenly stretched out a long arm from behind her and broke off the lush bunch of five-petal red plums with a "click".
Yunsheng was startled and turned around to look.
But unexpectedly, the two stood too close, and Yun Sheng turned around and ran into the man's arms.
The warm, light, sandalwood aroma lingers on the tip of the nose.
This man was much taller than Yun Sheng, and Yun Sheng's collision happened to be on his chest.
She hurriedly took two steps back, but she forgot that the plum tree was behind her.
