The scholars rode their horses all the way across Zhuque Street and arrived at Xingsheng Street, which was lined with shops on both sides.
At this time, all the windows on the second floor of the shop were open, and there were people inside who were reluctant to show up but wanted to watch the fun.
Of course, there were also many young girls who were just beginning to fall in love. Those who could go up to the second floor of the shop on that day were basically ladies from wealthy families.
Those who come to see this excitement tend to have some hope of finding a good match among them.
They also prepared purses, and if they saw someone they liked, they would throw it towards him. The view from the second floor was good, so most of the time they could successfully throw it to the person, it just depended on whether the person was willing to catch it.
Watching Zhao Yiming dodge another bouquet of flowers, Zhou Churan, the top scholar beside him, couldn't help but tease him, "Tanhua Zhao, you really don't know how to be gentle with women! The girl who threw the flowers is so pretty! After being rejected by you, those charming eyes suddenly became misty. I really feel pity for her!"
Zhao Yiming casually glanced at Zhou Churan's arms full of flowers, handkerchiefs, and purses, "I am certainly not as sentimental as the number one scholar, and I am not as sympathetic and considerate of women as him."
As the top scholar of this year, this guy was led by a groom on horseback and walked in front. He accepted everything thrown to him by the people and girls.
He took everything he could get his hands on, and now he could hardly hold all the flowers, handkerchiefs, and purses in his arms.
Faced with Zhao Yiming's counter-teasing, he didn't take it to heart at all. He took out a cloth bag from his sleeve pocket, poured all the things he had received into it, then hung the cloth bag on the horse's back and continued to happily receive the things thrown to him by the girls.
They even said it was to save the girls' face, "How thin-skinned girls are! How embarrassing it would be to be rejected by you in the street!"
As he said this, he turned around and glanced at An Yichen's seat. This was the only place besides Zhao Yiming where he hadn't taken anything so far.
Watching him stuff the things he received into the cloth bag again, Zhao Yiming couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Can you carry so many purses?"
"How can I wear them all? I can change one every day and have a different mood every day."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and took a handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks, then stuffed it into the cloth bag without even looking at it.
At this moment, two eagle cries were suddenly heard above the team.
Everyone looked up and saw two white eagles circling above the team, seemingly holding something in their claws.
Before everyone could see clearly, they saw pieces of bright red rose petals suddenly appear in the sky and slowly fall down, spreading all over the place, as if it was raining roses.
Two white eagles circled in the air for a while and then cleared the way for the team, scattering rose petals on the road the team was about to pass.
When the white eagles flew lower, everyone could see clearly that they were holding two baskets on their feet.
Tian An specially asked someone to make a simple fan on top of the basket. When the white eagle flew in the air holding the basket, the fan would move against the wind and blow all the petals in the basket out of the basket.
Everyone looked at the fiery red roses flying all over the sky and immediately started talking.
Someone lamented, "So they were just scattering flower petals from baskets! I thought it was raining petals. I'm afraid some fairy is taking advantage of the parade of talented scholars to choose a husband!"
As soon as these words came out, the people who knew him immediately added, "You are so beautiful, yet you still dare to dream about fairies. Be careful or your ears will be in danger when you go back."
The man subconsciously covered his ears, which immediately made everyone laugh.
Someone lamented that the person who created the rose rain was really generous: "They scattered it everywhere. How many petals must there be! I'm afraid they'll pluck out all the petals in their own gardens!"
"These aren't flowers! They're clearly pure silver! These roses aren't just wildflowers on the roadside; they're incredibly valuable!"
"Putting aside the fact that it's expensive, scattering flowers this way is really beautiful and grand. It can't be compared with those petty bouquets."
…
Zhao Yiming turned a deaf ear to everyone's discussions. The moment he heard the white eagle's cry, he couldn't help but smile. He knew that Tian An's surprise for him was coming.
He raised his hand to catch a petal, unable to hide the smile on his face. He guessed that Tian An might have another trick up her sleeve. After all, such a simple surprise was not her style.
Zhou Churan accidentally turned around and saw his expression. He paused and suddenly remembered something.
He opened his mouth and said, "I heard that a few days ago, the Duke of Zhao offered an eagle instead of a goose to marry the Anping County Lady of the Loyal and Brave General's Mansion. Could it be this pair of white eagles?"
Zhao Yiming looked up at him, smiling, and nodded slightly, which was considered as his agreement.
"So, this shower of roses was prepared by Xiangjun for the Duke of Zhao?"
"No wonder you didn't accept anyone's flowers along the way. It turns out you were waiting here!"
"Damn it!" The top scholar suddenly couldn't help but curse, "Didn't they say the general's mansion was very poor?"
Zhao Yiming rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Who told you that?"
As they were talking, two white eagles came again with two full baskets of rose petals.
Zhou Da Zhuangyuan: “…” Rumors are harmful!
The two of them spoke loudly, and everyone nearby could hear it, and immediately cast envious glances at Zhao Yiming.
An Yichen, in particular, was immediately filled with anticipation for Zuo Yunshu.
But after a moment, he shook his head again.
"Yunshu was too embarrassed to even send me medicine, so how could she dare to do such a bold and passionate thing in front of so many people in Datong?"
Two white eagles circled above the parade, and after scattering rose rain three times, Zhao Yiming finally saw the hot pot restaurant.
He had always been thinking about Tian An, and he saw her almost as soon as Tian An came into his sight, and then his eyes were fixed on that window and never left.
Until the team reached the downstairs of the hot pot restaurant, Tian An, who was looking at him affectionately, suddenly disappeared in front of the window.
But a moment later, she appeared in front of the window again, holding a large bouquet of bright red roses.
The white eagle circling in the sky had landed on the window sill at the side without anyone noticing.
After receiving Tian An's instructions, Yiying grabbed the ribbon of the bouquet and flew towards Zhao Yiming with the bouquet.
Zhao Yiming never took his eyes off Tian An and raised his hand to catch the bouquet steadily.
I took a moment to take a look and estimated that there were ninety-nine flowers.
The corners of Zhao Yiming's mouth curved even wider. "An An said that roses represent love, and ninety-nine roses represent eternity."
This was Zhao Yiming's first time receiving a bouquet of flowers today, but receiving a bouquet was equivalent to others receiving a cloth bag.
Zhou Dazhuangyuan, who received a cloth bag, felt embarrassed and wanted to throw the bag into some invisible corner in the street.
While he was stunned, Zhao Yiming caught another purse embroidered with lovebirds on intertwined branches, which Tian An threw down from the window himself.
