Personally plucking down the moon would definitely be a special feeling.
During the parade, the streets were packed with people shoulder to shoulder. Yan Jin, sitting in a restaurant looking down, suspected that the entire city’s population had gathered here.
When the parade procession arrived, as soon as Yu Shu sitting in the sedan chair appeared, Yan Jin, who was playing with a bellflower, clearly heard the sounds of admiration around her.
“The young man playing the Goddess of Mercy this year is too good-looking. His waist and back are straight as an arrow.”
“He’s much calmer than the previous few young men. His face doesn’t even turn red.”
Yan Jin watched Yu Shu maintaining an impassive expression, sitting properly yet giving off a sense of abstinence that made her want to rip his clothes off even more than usual. She couldn’t help but bite her back molar.
As the parade procession reached the restaurant Yan Jin was in, Yu Shu seemed to sense something and looked up, making eye contact with Yan Jin. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Yan Jin also hooked the corners of her lips. With a wave of her hand holding the bellflower, she threw it straight into Yu Shu’s arms.
Yu Shu picked up the bellflower, tucked it into his lapel, looked up and gave Yan Jin another tight-lipped smile.
Seeing this, someone immediately took off their purse, wanting to imitate Yan Jin’s move of “throwing fruit into the carriage”.
Someone next to him stopped him, “Don’t throw it! This beautiful young man, don’t damage him!”
The man protested, “Someone just threw one earlier.”
“That was his wife-master!” The person stopping him patiently explained, “You didn’t go see the selection competition a few days ago, so you don’t know. This young man playing the Goddess of Mercy publicly kissed his wife-master.”
“Yeah, I saw it too. They have a great relationship. Don’t cause trouble.”
…
[I don’t know if Yan Jin heard the conversations of the onlookers, but judging from Yu Shu’s ears turning red and steaming, he definitely heard.] [Oh my, this is the price to pay for publicly showing affection. Young people need to have thicker skin.]After the parade ended, Yu Shu changed clothes and went to the agreed meeting place to find Yan Jin.
From afar, Yu Shu saw “Yan Jin” wearing a veil, standing by the road.
That Smiles, so stubborn.
It was so cold, yet she didn’t know to wait inside, insisting on waiting at the intersection.
Yu Shu was both annoyed and amused. He walked up and patted “her”, “Smiles, why are you here?”
A person who looked like an attendant beside them spoke up, “Young gentleman, you’ve mistaken the person.”
“Impossible.” Yu Shu frowned, “I couldn’t possibly mistake my own wife-master.”
This height and attire, it was clearly Smiles.
The woman chuckled lightly and lifted a corner of her veil, “Young gentleman, your wife-master shouldn’t have this scar on her neck, right?”
When the woman spoke, Yu Shu knew he had mistaken the person.
Because the woman’s voice was hoarse, carrying the vicissitudes of time, completely different from Yan Jin’s. And there was no red string on the woman’s wrist that Smiles had tied for them in the morning.
Most importantly, there wasn’t a single scar on Smiles’ entire body.
Now Yu Shu realized he had mistaken the person and hurriedly apologized, “I’m really sorry.”
Yu Shu didn’t expect that he would make such a mistake.
Even if the other person dressed similarly to Smiles, it still wasn’t Smiles. Yet he had mistaken her.
It seemed that he and Smiles usually wore too few couple accessories.
He needed to prepare some couple accessories for him and Smiles when they got back.
Not just couple accessories, they should start wearing couple outfits too.
“Roundy.” Yan Jin found Yu Shu and noticed he was talking to a woman wearing a veil.
Yan Jin didn’t have any other suspicions. After all, Roundy only had her in his heart and eyes, obedient and clingy.
If she saw Roundy talking to a strange woman and had other suspicions, then she would really be letting down Roundy’s wholehearted devotion.
Yan Jin at least had this basic trust.
See, as soon as Roundy saw her coming, he immediately ran over, embarrassed to explain the earlier misunderstanding.
If there was really anything else, how could Roundy act so naturally?
That woman, upon seeing Yan Jin, was stunned for quite a while.
Yan Jin looked at her, “Forgive my bluntness, have we met before?”
“No.” The woman shook her head and spoke with difficulty, “Miss, don’t blame me. You look very much like my master. I haven’t seen her for many years, so I lost my composure.”
Yan Jin said, “If you miss her, go see her.”
The woman shook her head, “My master likes tranquility and has been wandering with her husband for many years, their whereabouts unknown. I don’t know where she is now either.”
Yan Jin had no interest in meddling in other people’s affairs.
After politely saying “Then I wish you an early reunion with your master”, Yan Jin was about to turn and leave with Yu Shu.
But she saw the woman speak up, “Miss, could you wait a moment? Could I exchange a few words with you?”
“I’m getting on in years now and don’t know if I’ll be able to see my master again before I close my eyes. Could you pretend to be my master? Let me talk with you for a bit?”
The woman’s tone was too sincere. Yan Jin felt something strange in her heart.
Before Yan Jin could say anything, the woman took out two protective talismans from her bosom, “These are divine talismans I obtained previously at the Yue Lao Temple, the most efficacious. Any wife and husband who wear them will be as loving as when they first met, until their hair turns white.”
Hearing this, Yan Jin subconsciously looked at Yu Shu.
Great, Roundy’s eyes were shining.
“Smiles.” Yu Shu couldn’t hide the excitement in his voice, “Doing a good deed every day, we don’t have anything else to do now anyway. Let’s help her first.”
[Let me tell you a joke – Yu Shu believes in science.] [The previous commenter, you don’t understand Yu Shu! He’s doing both feudal and scientific methods, double insurance, don’t you get it?] [I may not understand Yu Shu, but I understand Yan Jin. She will definitely agree.]…
[Yan Jin ah Yan Jin, you can’t spoil a man like this.] [You love me, I love you, the Jin Shu couple is so sweet.]Forget it, this was Roundy’s only little hobby.
If she didn’t agree, the next time they quarreled, Roundy would definitely bring this up, saying “If we had worn the protective talismans back then, we wouldn’t be arguing now.”
She would just do a good deed and be a “master substitute”.
For the sake of the protective talismans, Yan Jin asked in more detail, “Do I need to give any specific reactions?”
The woman said, “My master’s personality is not much different from yours. Just act according to your own personality.”
Yan Jin nodded, “I understand.”
…
The woman said, “The men in the inner courtyard are also obedient and well-behaved, the children are sensible and well-mannered. Unfortunately, my husband passed away from illness, otherwise I could have brought him to meet you this time.”
“Men?” Yan Jin picked up on the keyword, “How many men do you have?”
The woman replied, “With official status, without official status, altogether around thirty.”
Yan Jin unusually lost her composure a bit and let out a “wow”, sincerely praising, “You’re amazing.”
