Chapter 207 Accidental Kiss
In front of the stall.
Su Yuan's eyes lingered on the stalls for a long time, and finally stopped on a veil with lilies embroidered on the corners:
"I want this one. How much is it?"
The vendor laughed and said:
"Gauze is expensive. The one you like costs three hundred coins."
Su Yuan paid the copper coins without hesitation, then picked up the veil and handed it to the man beside her, explaining:
"The mask on the general's face is too conspicuous. It's better to find a place where no one is around to change it."
Lu Shengling reached out and took it.
He stroked the embroidery in the corner with his thumb, with obvious joy in his eyes, and pointed into the alley with his chin slightly raised:
"I'll go change, you wait here for me."
Su Yuan nodded, "Okay."
In a short while.
A man in a snow-white coat with a veil on his face and a cinnabar-red mole on his forehead slowly walked out of the dim alley.
Although passers-by could not see his true face, the man's aloof and otherworldly aura made it clear that he was no ordinary person.
This was the first time in all these years that Lu Shengling appeared on the street without the cold mask that covered his entire face.
He felt a little uncomfortable when he first came out, but when he caught a glimpse of the woman waiting for him in front, all the awkwardness in his heart turned into sweetness.
Lu Shengling clenched the mask in his hand, took a deep breath, and walked towards the woman with a slightly anxious step.
The voice is low, with a hint of smile:
"Now that I've changed my attire, it's not appropriate to call you Lord Su. How about... calling you by your name?"
Su Yuan changed his words directly:
"Well, Mr. Lu, let's go."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shengling closed his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes covered the loss in his eyes.
He pursed his lips and whispered:
"Okay, I'll take you to the back streets. It's getting late, so it's probably starting now."
After saying this, Lu Shengling said no more and led the woman towards the open space in the back street.
The two of them reached the entrance.
A little boy carrying a flower basket came up quickly. He looked up at Su Yuan, blinked, and whispered a reminder:
"Sister, please buy me some flowers. I don't have any flowers, be careful someone else might snatch them away!"
Su Yuan looked at the young child and thought of Luo Luo and Xier at home.
Her heart softened, and she took out a silver ingot and handed it over:
"I've bought all your flowers, go back early."
"Thank you, sister."
Su Yuan said "You're welcome", lowered his eyes and looked at the flower basket in his hand and chuckled.
Then he turned his head to look at the man next to him. Maybe he forgot and didn't mention what he just said:
"Mr. Lu, I see a flower god parading in front of us. Let's go back after watching this excitement."
Lu Shengling was slightly startled, and glanced vaguely at the flower basket in the woman's palm, with a hint of self-mockery in his eyes.
Nodding slightly:
"Um."
Afterwards, as the two walked inside, the atmosphere became more and more lively, and they successfully squeezed into the central area.
Su Yuan and Lu Shengling saw today's protagonist as they wished.
——The Flower God.
On the sedan chair carried by 108 people, a handsome man wearing a crown of flowers and a gorgeous robe made of colorful gauze was sitting upright in the center of the sedan chair.
On both sides of him were dozens of flower attendants, who followed the sedan chair and sprinkled flowers on the people around them, chanting words of blessing:
"The flower god blesses, the flowers fall, and blessings arrive."
Seeing that they were about to reach him and Lu Shengling, Su Yuan prepared to move away with his men.
It's enough to just watch this kind of excitement. If you really want to stand there waiting to be blessed, won't you be squeezed into a meat patty?
However, she had just thought about it and hadn't taken any action yet.
The people around were eager to grab a spot and swarmed towards Su Yuan and Lu Shengling.
The huge impact force caused the two men to take several steps back, and Lu Shengling's body was about to hit the wooden stand of the stall.
Su Yuan didn't have time to think, he grabbed the man's shoulders and changed positions with him, and fell with a "bang".
Su Yuan's body bounced a few times, and the man's soft body fell into her arms.
The last one is even more coincidental:
After stabilizing your body.
Su Yuan lowered his head and was about to push Lu Shengling away, but unexpectedly, the man leaned forward suddenly as if he was pushed by someone.
Her tightly pursed red lips unexpectedly touched two soft, thin and slightly cool lips, and her slightly lowered gaze happened to bump into a pair of dark eyes that were brighter and more dazzling than the stars in the sky.
The hint of love in the letter made Su Yuan's eyelashes tremble, and she clenched and unclenched her hands on the man's slender waist.
She bent her lips and forced a smile, and pushed the man away at the right time:
"Sorry, it was an accident."
The other side.
The corners of Lu Shengling's mouth curled up slightly under her veil, and she lowered her eyes to look at the flower basket that Su Yuan had just dropped to save her, and said lightly:
"Don't you want the flower basket?"
Su Yuan was reminded by the man and reacted immediately, turning his head to look at the flower basket on the ground.
I saw the flowers were scattered all over the place with broken branches, and some were covered with mud.
She sighed, leaned over and slowly picked it up:
"What a shame. I originally wanted to put it in my room when I got back, but I didn't expect it to become like this before I even left the city."
After hearing this, Lu Shengling raised his eyebrows slightly.
He looked around and saw a stall selling flowers, but didn't say a word to the woman.
He walked over quickly and bought a basket of flowers that looked pretty good. He returned and handed it to the woman, saying in a meaningful tone:
"Today is the Hundred Flowers Festival. I am sorry that no one sent you flowers when you came to Liuyun Ferry. This basket of flowers is your compensation for saving me just now. Please take it well."
Su Yuan's lips curled slightly, and he reached out to take the flower basket, and said in a low voice word by word:
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Shengling turned around and walked out, reminding:
"It's time to go back after seeing the flower god."
Su Yuan followed without showing any emotion, "Okay."
…………
The night gradually faded away and the torches outside the window grew dim, heralding the arrival of a new day.
Su Yuan did not sleep until noon like he did yesterday.
She got up at daybreak.
“Squeak—”
Su Yuan opened the door and planned to go out for breakfast, but as soon as he went out, he found a strange middle-aged woman standing outside the door.
She raised her eyebrows and asked:
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged woman smiled eagerly and handed the booklet she had been holding to Su Yuan:
"Your humble servant is Lu Hanyi, a third-rank general of Zhendong. This is the document that my nephew, General Lu, asked me to hand over to Lord Su."
Su Yuan took the document, opened it, took a look, and nodded:
"It is indeed stamped with the imperial seal, but why didn't General Lu hand over such an important document to me personally?"
Lu Hanyi sighed and explained:
"Master Su, you may not know that my nephew left the city last night to fight the Ming bandits. He asked me to pass this document to you before he left."
After that, a gleam of light flashed across her eyes, and she advised:
"Since Lord Su has already received the documents, I think it is best for you to leave this place as soon as possible."
"When the war starts, things are unpredictable. If the city is closed one day, wouldn't you be unable to leave? If you delay, His Majesty will probably blame you!"
Su Yuan smiled faintly:
"Of course. I have completed my mission now that I have received the document. Please inform the others, General. We will return to Beijing this afternoon."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
