Yu Chisu added, "The color of this little elephant has faded. The Major General must have been looking at it often. I even asked him who cut it, and he said it was done by the Young Madam. You don't know, Young Madam, but the Major General's eyes were smiling whenever he mentioned you."
Hua Fushu pressed on: "Really?"
Yu Chisu smiled and said, "Of course it's true. The young lady has been very kind to my family. Why would I lie?"
Hua Fushu smiled, a warm feeling flowing in her heart. She suddenly felt that Ye Zelin had her in his heart, otherwise he would not have talked about her with outsiders and kept the small portrait she cut. At this moment, she was like a little girl in love, her face full of happiness, and her whole body was filled with dazzling brilliance. But in just a moment, that happy brilliance dimmed, a kind of sorrow replaced the smile on her face, and her heart felt as uncomfortable as if it were being pricked by needles.
Seeing this, Yu Chisu was a little confused. Why did Hua Fushu, who was smiling so happily just now, change his expression again? She was just thinking of asking Sanqiao, but she found a new topic to change the subject. Yu Chisu didn't ask any more questions.
Hua Fushu's mood did not calm down until the carriage stopped to rest. He got off the carriage and walked towards the stream.
This is the official road. There is a shallow stream on the side, and on the other side is a small forest, which is lush and verdant, providing some shade.
Sanqiao knew what Hua Fushu was worried about. It was because of the Ye family and her master Miao Niang. Ever since the picture of the beauty in red appeared, her girl had never let it go, because the picture of the beauty in red was exactly her girl. In addition, Ye Zelin had been to Xu'ao Villa in Luoyang, so her girl suspected even more that the Ye family was related to the Xu'ao Villa tragedy more than 20 years ago.
One is her husband's family who is sincere to her and the husband she loves, and the other is her master who is very kind to her. It is extremely difficult to choose between the two sides.
She followed him. Ye Zelin, who had just gotten off the car, saw that the two of them had gone to the stream. He was about to call Sanqiao when Yu Chisu came over and said cautiously, "Second Brother Ye, I think I have upset your young lady."
Ye Zelin was stunned. "She's unhappy? How did you offend her?"
Yu Chisu told Ye Zelin everything that happened in the car. Ye Zelin listened and thought that Hua Fushu might be jealous. This was not without precedent. When they were in Wuyin, she was jealous of Qingdai.
He sighed and said, "She looks so straightforward, but in fact she is a bit petty. Susu, don't bother with her. I will explain it to her later."
Yu Chi Su didn't think Hua Fushu was jealous. Looking at her expression at the time, it was clear that he believed her words. However, after just a moment, the smile on Hua Fushu's face faded.
She said, "The young lady has a worried look on her face. Maybe it's not jealousy, but something else."
Ye Zelin said calmly: "I'll go take a look."
Yu Chisu walked towards her uncle.
Hua Fushu looked at the shimmering water. Two or three white water birds flew by. A figure was sitting on the shore, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, as if fishing.
She walked over and saw that the figure was indeed fishing. The fisherman had a strong build, a full beard, a straight nose and big eyes, and those big eyes were looking at her.
She carried a flat river stone and placed it about a foot away from him, then sat on it, looking at him with the same strange eyes, not considering herself an intruder at all.
"Big Beard, why are you fishing with a wooden tub?"
She looked at the wooden basin behind him and then at the bamboo basket beside him.
The bearded man was very surprised by the girl in red clothes who suddenly sat next to him. It was like something that suddenly popped out and scared him. This thing seemed to be an acquaintance of his. She sat next to him without even saying hello and without considering whether he was a bad person or a good person.
He said unhappily, "I enjoy it. What's it to you? Also, who are you calling a bearded man? Are you polite?"
The thing that jumped out had a simple expression on its face. "If you don't have a big beard, why do I call you the Bearded Man? You are not Zhang Zhongjian from Hong Fu's Night Run."
The bearded man was furious. "Whoever said I'm not Zhang Zhongjian, my name is Zhang Zhongjian."
Hua Fushu didn't think the bearded man was called that name. "Your name is Zhang Zhongjian, but mine is Zhang Zhongjing."
The bearded man grinned.
Hua Fushu glanced at the bamboo basket, which contained two or three half-jin (1.5 kg) fish. "Big Beard," he said, "if the person you like doesn't like you back, what would you do? Would you continue to like him?"
The bearded man looked confused. Why did this little girl who suddenly appeared say all this to him? He didn't even know her.
He remained silent, and the girl continued, "What would you do if the person you like also liked you a little, but was also having an ambiguous relationship with another woman?"
The bearded man saw something was going on. It turned out that the little girl was complaining to him. Seeing her sad face, she must be troubled by love.
He was just curious about the little girl saying these things to a stranger. Those who knew them were strangers, while those who didn't would think they were familiar with each other. He said, "Little girl, don't you think it's strange to say these to me? We don't know each other."
"You look familiar to me, as if I've seen you somewhere before." The little girl smiled. "This is the first time someone has called me a little girl in my life."
The only thing she could remember was her uncle calling her "little girl".
The bearded man laughed it off and said, "Little girl, you are talking nonsense. This is the first time I have met you."
At this time, a female voice came from behind, calling the girl. The bearded man turned around and saw a little girl in green clothes. Behind the little girl was a young man with peerless elegance. He glanced at the young man with disdain and snorted coldly:
"If it were me, I would smash them all and give this fickle two-timing person a good beating. I would send them to hell to suffer, a life worse than death, or even send them to see their ancestors."
Hua Fushu chuckled, "Big Beard, I didn't realize you're so cruel. If you kill someone, you'll have to pay with your life."
The bearded man said seriously, "Little girl, you've never been out there before, so you don't know how dangerous it is. If you're not ruthless, others will be even more ruthless to you."
"I don't know?" Hua Fushu pointed at himself, finding what the bearded man said quite amusing. "Don't look at my young age. I've traveled almost all over the Song Dynasty, from Guangdong and Guangxi in the south to the northern border in the north. I've probably been to more places and walked more roads than you've eaten salt. I've even seen someone kill his own son. Bearded man, when it comes to martial arts experience, I'm no less experienced than you."
The bearded man gave Hua Fushu an annoyed look and said, "Then why are you so sad?"
"I..." Hua Fushu made up a lame excuse, "I was so upset reading the storybook."
The bearded man snorted, "Little girl, I've been chatting with you for a long time, but I still don't know your name."
The little girl retorted: "I don't know your name either. A name is just a code name. What difference does it make whether you know it or not?"
The bearded man blew his beard and glared: "Didn't I just tell you, my last name is Zhang, and the bearded man's name is my name."
The little girl didn't believe it: "It's fake, you can't fool me."
The bearded man swore, "Don't believe me, forget it. My name is Zhang Zhongjian anyway."
