March Flower Party

Having solved the troubles they had been having in recent years, Tao Yue'er and Hua Ling walked on the road in vain, attracting the attention of countless people.

"Whose little lady is this? So elegant and handsome?"

The words elegance and handsomeness have never appeared on Tao Yuer'er. Now when she is walking on the road, she is very surprised to be praised like this.

Tao Yue'er looked up and saw that the people who were praising her were two elegant young men with good manners. Each of them carried a willow branch in their hands. Tao Yue'er was shocked to realize that time passed like water and it was March 3rd of the year again.

.

Going further, you will reach the bank of Luoshui River.

Four years later, Tao Yue'er walked along the Luoshui River again, feeling sad again in her heart.

Thinking that three years ago, she would actually think about losing the election ten times in March, she felt really stupid.

"Thank you, Hua Ling." Tao Yue'er said lightly.

Hua Ling could hear Tao Yue'er's inner voice and knew what Tao Yue'er was thinking. Naturally, she also knew what the word 'thank you' meant.

If it weren't for Hua Ling, she would be a dead person now.

"You should thank yourself." Hua Ling said: "If you don't want to cheer up and start over, no one can save you. What you should be grateful for most is that you didn't give up on yourself."

Tao Yue'er smiled, stopped talking, and walked forward in silence.

"Look at that little lady, she is as fair as a person on the moon."

"Have you ever seen the man on the moon?"

"Could the man beside her be her husband? I gave her willow branches, but is there still hope?"

Hearing this, Tao Yue'er's face turned red, she glanced at the impeccable Hua Ling, quickly covered her face again, touched her cheeks with bare hands, and added the word "steal" on her face.

It's just that it's bigger than the original one and the color is darker.

"Why?" Hua Ling didn't understand.

Tao Yue'er: "This kind of me is a little too unreal. If I stand out too much, I will become the target of public criticism. It would be better if I don't attract attention."

After Tao Yue'er finished speaking, Hua Ling obviously didn't believe it.

Which woman would think she is too beautiful and deliberately make herself ugly?

Although Tao Yue'er has the ability to handle emergencies on her own, she still feels from the bottom of her heart that she and Hua Ling are servants and masters. She stands beside Hua Ling. If everyone is talking about her,

Somewhat transgressive.

She hopes that Hua Ling will always be unique, high and unmatched.

She only hoped that she would always look up to him. "But Tao Yue'er, why do you lower your posture so low?" Hua Ling looked at Tao Yue'er in confusion.

Tao Yue'er's thoughts could not be hidden from Hua Ling.

At this time, on both sides of the Luoshui River, there were winding water drinking glasses, which was the time when elegance met. Tao Yue'er never dared to approach the crowd, but only dared to walk slowly behind the flowing water on the river bank, one behind the other with Hua Ling.

Although she has gained power, her mentality has not yet changed.

It's not that she doesn't feel inferior anymore, she just doesn't care that much anymore. Whether it's appearance, family background or love, she doesn't pretend not to care, but really doesn't care. She only cares about her own growth, and only hopes that her strength will become stronger and stronger enough to

Protect the person she wants to protect, and that person is only Hua Ling.

As for herself...she doesn't care that much. No matter whether others despise or despise her, she doesn't care anymore.

That has nothing to do with her.

"But I hope you care." Hua Ling added: "It's not your fault that your background is not good. It's not your fault that you were bullied in the past. You don't want to attract attention, but it's your fault.

And, it’s so wrong.”

Hua Ling stretched out her hand, took off Tao Yue'er's cloak, and then erased the mark she added later. A spring begonia fell on Tao Yue'er's ear at the right time, and he easily pinned it on Tao Yue'er's ear.

of temples.

Begonia flowers are blooming, complementing each other, and the beauty is like jade. Because of the uncaring look in her eyes, she has a different kind of earthly temperament. It is more and more similar to the temperament of Hua Ling. Standing together, the two of them are like heaven.

People walking down.

Hua Ling: "You clearly deserve the attention of all the stars, so why do you hide yourself? It's not that you don't deserve it, it's that they were blind in the past. You should let yourself stand at the top of the world and let all the people in the past

Take a look at those who bullied you and let them know how wrong they were in the past."

Tao Yue'er was very surprised by Hua Ling's remarks.

Hua Ling has always set his sights high and doesn't care about other people's thoughts and opinions. He always goes his own way. But he taught Tao Yue'er to be herself and to have the courage to stand in front of others. Why is this?

"Because you are worth it."

Hua Ling said: "You have never had it, and I hope you can have it once. With a new attitude, I can tell everyone about your efforts in the past three years. You are not a deserter, you have not abandoned your armor and fled."

Tao Yue'er smiled bitterly: "But, who can I show my beauty to?"

"If you don't go out, how can you show your beauty to anyone?"

Hua Ling smiled, pointed to the Kongqiao in front, and said: "The March Flower Festival is held once a year. You have walked through it ten times. I believe you are very familiar with it. You don't need me to lead the way. How about walking it again today?"

During the Flower Party in March, beauties and talents walked by the river bank. If they saw each other, they would break willow branches and give them to each other. Then they would go home and tell their parents and ask a matchmaker to hire them. In this way, it would be a happy event. However, in the past, Tao Yue

I waited eagerly for eleven years, but no willow branch came.

On the other side of Kongqiao is the road that the woman walked. What will it look like if she takes it again this time?

Tao Yue'er actually had little interest, but Hua Ling wanted her to leave, so she would listen to him and leave again.

There were many tourists on both sides of the river. Hua Ling and Tao Yue'er walked on one side of the river respectively, their paces were unhurried and unhurried, always facing each other. Soon, someone offered willow branches.

"Thank you." Tao Yue'er received a bouquet almost as soon as she stepped ashore.

The person who gave her the willow branch was not an ordinary person. If she remembered correctly, she even met him at Lu Guanting's funeral.

It seems that... he is the second-ranked scholar in Jinke, with the surname Gu. Every year in the imperial examination, the most eye-catching ones are naturally the number one scholar and the third flower. The number one scholar has a good literary talent, and the third flower is more handsome than Pan An. The second-ranked scholar is often ignored.

Gu Xunting was not yet married, but he fell in love with Tao Yue'er at first sight.

"May I ask the girl's name? Which family does she belong to?" Gu Xunting asked warmly.

This was the first time Tao Yue'er received a willow branch, and the first time she was stared at by a man like this. She quickly lowered her head and said, "Liujinfang, Tao family."

When Gu Xunting heard that it was Liujinfang, he naturally knew that it was a slum. Seeing her graceful figure and noble temperament, he originally thought she was a young lady from a wealthy family, but when he heard that it was Liujinfang, he was naturally a little disappointed.

Tao Yue'er quickly handed the willow branch back and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Gu Xunting quickly refused and said, "What do you mean, Madam Tao? How can I take back the willow branches I gave away? I'm just surprised. I'm surprised that my lady has a noble temperament, but she is in Liujinfang. If you are willing,

When you and I get married, I’ll take you out, okay?”

When Tao Yue'er heard this, she was so frightened that she let go of her hand and the willow branch fell to the ground.

She never expected that even though she said she was from a slum, there would be someone willing to marry her, and she would be the second best candidate in the Golden Examination!

Tao Yue'er looked at the flower girl behind her, shook her head quickly, and said: "To be honest with you, sir, I am already thirty-one and have passed the age of marriage long ago. And I have also decided not to marry for the rest of my life."

When Gu Xunting heard this, his face was full of surprise. He seemed not to believe Tao Yue'er's age. But he could only believe what she said and sighed: "It's a pity. But..."

Gu Xunting lowered his body, picked up the willow branch, and placed it in Tao Yue'er's hand. He said: "Gu doesn't care about the girl's age. But the girl vowed not to marry for the rest of her life. Gu can only feel regret and admiration. Today

Gu is already satisfied to meet the girl. I give this willow branch to the girl without any need from the girl in return. I just hope that no matter what happens in the future, please remember that Gu is willing to help."

After saying that, Gu Xunting left his address and willow branches and left. After that, there were many more people like him, and they kept coming.

As the sun set, Tao Yue'er already held a large bunch of forty or fifty willow branches in her hand. The old woman selling tea eggs on the shore was still there, and she was amazed when she saw her: "My old woman is selling tea eggs here.

After a lifetime of tea eggs, this is the first time I have seen such a scene. Are all the men in Jingcheng fascinated by you? Girl, why don’t you choose the best one to marry?"

Tao Yue'er smiled and shook her head, placed the bunch of willow branches next to the old woman, and said with a smile: "I love myself enough, and I don't need the love of others to prove it."

Tao Yue'er put down the willow branch and suddenly felt that it was never too late in life.

In the past, she thought it was as big a deal as the sky was about to fall, but now it seems like the clouds have cleared and the mist has dispersed, and she doesn't care. The situation changes with the heart, and people are cultivating their minds throughout their lives.

Tao Yue'er walked to Hua Ling and felt very good.

"Are you happy?" Hua Ling asked her.

"Happy." Tao Yue'er answered truthfully.

"Do you still want to hide yourself?"

"No more hiding."

Tao Yue'er smiled and said, "It's up to me whether I hide it or not. When I face the real me, I truly don't care about other people's eyes."

Hua Ling smiled and handed Tao Yue'er a bunch of willow branches. Tao Yue'er took it, knowing that there was no ambiguity and no difference between the willow branches, but somehow she felt that it was better than any other branch in the pile.

All should be elegant and good-looking.

This is the one she wants.

This branch represents freedom, not bondage.
