The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 550 Outing
Around the Qingming Festival, the grass is lush, the warblers are flying, the willows are green, and the flowers are

Today is the Shangsi Festival. On this day, young boys and girls will go for an outing on the banks of the Huai River. It is also a rare day in the year when the elders will not restrain their daughters and let them go out to play freely.

The streets of the capital were bustling with activity, as carriages lined up in a queue heading towards the Huai River.

Shi Liu and Liu Yue also rode in a carriage to the banks of the Huai River. Since they were in the capital, there was no reason to miss such a rare bustling event.

Along the banks of the Huai River, vendors gathered, selling all kinds of gadgets and food, shouting and hawking, creating a very lively atmosphere.

There is a vast green meadow by the river, which is already filled with young men and women. The girls are dressed in colorful clothes, just like the blooming flowers in spring. The boys are dressed in green or blue clothes, and they are graceful and full of vigor.

"Sister Pomegranate, hurry up! Let's go to the front and take a look. Look over there, there are so many irises! They are so beautiful!" After getting off the carriage, Liu Yue was so excited to see so many people. He pulled Pomegranate and ran quickly to the grass like a butterfly.

"Slow down, be careful not to bump into people." Shi Liu hurriedly called her.

Before he could finish his words, Liu Yue, who was only focused on running towards the iris, collided with a boy who was walking backwards with a kite string reel.

"Ouch!" Liu Yue was holding a pomegranate in his hand. When he was hit, the pomegranate fell to the ground together with him.

"Hey! How do you walk like that?" Liu Yue got up and glared at the man.

The boy flying the kite was walking backwards and he really didn't expect to bump into someone. He was in the wrong so he quickly bowed and apologized.

Liu Yue met his gaze and was stunned for a moment, "It's you?"

The young man was also stunned when he saw Liu Yue's appearance, "Girl, do you know me?"

Liu Yue curled her lips, turned around and quickly pulled Shi Liu over there.

After they ran away, Shi Liu asked her, "Why, do you know that person just now?"

Liu Yue looked back and didn't see the man following him, so he snorted and whispered to Shi Liu, "That man is the third son of the Suqing Marquis's Mansion, and the nephew of my second cousin. He went to the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion to pay a visit to my great-aunt that day. I saw him through the screen."

As she said this, she looked resistant, "Sister Pomegranate, you know, my mother seemed to want to marry me to this man! That day I heard that it was like this!"

Shi Liu listened and became thoughtful. The family of the second wife of the Marquis of Jing'an was the third son of the Marquis of Suqing. He did not have to inherit the title, but I wonder if he had any merits. Did Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu choose this marriage for Liu Yue?
As long as she doesn't enter the palace, Uncle Liu and his wife will certainly not harm their daughter. There must be a reason for choosing this marriage.

She smiled and joked, "I think that man is also very handsome, Sister Yue, do you think he's not good?"

Liu Yue shook his head. "No, no! What's good about that? He looks so frail, whiter than a woman, and looks useless! I can knock him down with just one punch!"

Pomegranate burst out laughing when he heard this.

Liu Yue was embarrassed and annoyed, "Sister Pomegranate, you don't believe it?"

"Believe it, believe it." Shi Liu nodded hurriedly, fearing that she would perform boxing skills on the spot. Her mediocre skills were not even as good as hers.

As they were talking, they arrived at the field of irises that Liu Yue had just pointed out. Liu Yue couldn't help but move closer to smell them, "These flowers are so beautiful!"

"It's really beautiful." Pomegranate agreed.

Seeing someone painting over there, Liu Yue couldn't help but become interested. "Sister Pomegranate, can you draw a picture for me? Just draw me in this sea of ​​irises! It would be a shame not to paint such a beautiful scene, right?"

Seeing her in such a good mood, Shi Liu couldn't help but nodded, "Okay, I will leave Beijing and return to my hometown soon. I will draw a picture for you as a souvenir."

"Ah? Sister Shi Liu, are you going back to Bingzhou?" Liu Yue heard this reluctantly, "I want to go back with you too!" Shi Liu smiled softly, "It's not like we won't see each other again in the future. Who knows, I might come to Beijing again by the end of the year!"

Liu Yue thought about it and it made sense, but she couldn't help feeling disappointed. Now that Sister Pomegranate was gone, she would be all alone in the capital, which would not be fun!

Shi Liu asked Fu Dong to bring her charcoal pencil and sketchbook. She looked at Liu Yue standing in the sea of ​​flowers and quickly sketched with her head down.

Soon, Pomegranate looked up and smiled, "Okay."

"Have you finished drawing? Sister Pomegranate, you're so fast!" Liu Yue, who was feeling bored standing there, hurried over when she heard it.

When she looked at the picture book, she was dumbfounded, "Sister Pomegranate, why is it so black? I am black, and the flowers are black too!"

Shi Liu smiled and said, "We didn't bring paints with us when we went out. This is just a sketch. I made a simple outline. I will paint it out properly when we get back. I will give you a surprise then!"

With such beautiful scenery, it would be perfect to prepare the pigments and paint an oil painting.

What she didn't say was that she hadn't painted for a long time, and she had to go back to get her feel for it. She couldn't paint well here in a short time, and it would waste time.

Liu Yue smiled when she heard this, and trusted Shi Liu very much. "Okay, then I'll wait for your surprise, Sister Shi Liu!"

Over here, Liu Yue continued to move forward with Shi Liu. There were people gathered in front playing pitch-pot, it was really lively.

When I got closer, I saw that it was an acquaintance.

Miss Shi San, Princess Zhaozhao, and Wang Yan are all here.

"Miss Li." When Wang Yan saw Shi Liu, he immediately nodded and greeted her.

As expected, Princess Zhaozhao glared at Shi Liu.

Shi Liu didn't want to be targeted, so he quickly pulled Liu Yue and turned in another direction.

"Doctor Wang, it seems like something is different today." Liu Yue looked thoughtful.

After hearing this, Shi Liu couldn't help but turn to look at her, "What's the difference? You met him in Daming Mansion, right? It's been almost half a year, and he's now the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital. Naturally, there will be changes, right?"

Liu Yue said, "Hearing what you said, it seems to make sense. When I saw Doctor Wang in Daming Mansion before, he usually wore green, but today he wore scarlet. He looked so different! But he is a good match for Princess Zhaozhao who is wearing red."

Hearing this, Shi Liu subconsciously looked back, but she was already quite a distance away from the other side and could not see their faces clearly. She could only see the figure in red and the figure in red standing side by side. From a distance, they complemented each other and were as beautiful as a painting.

She remembered that Wang Yan had also worn green robes in previous encounters. Why was he suddenly wearing such a striking color today?
Unable to watch the pot toss, Liu Yue turned her eyes to the kites sold by the vendor not far ahead, "Sister Pomegranate, let's go fly a kite too!"

"Okay." Pomegranate nodded and agreed with her.

The two men led their men towards that direction, but halfway through, suddenly, a scream was heard.

"Killing! Killing!"

Shi Liu opened his eyes and looked, only to see chaos over there. People were fleeing in panic. There were many people in gray clothes and black cloth masks, holding machetes and chopping anyone they saw.

Amid the panic, someone seemed to be shouting, "Anti-Jin and restore the dynasty!"
