Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 56 When He Comes to See Me

"Miss, there is a letter for you, sent from Wuguo."

Just as Zhu Cici was still embroidering carefully, bit by bit, a maid walked in.

When Zhu Cici heard that the letter was sent from Wu State, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The girl put down the embroidery in her hand, moved her legs quickly under her skirt, and walked up quickly: "Give it to me quickly."

Zhu Cici opened the package, revealing a letter and a small shuttlecock.

The snow-white goose feathers on the shuttlecock are beautiful and clean, just like white snow.

I opened the envelope and found two blank sheets of paper inside.

Zhu Cici first pulled out a piece of white paper, opened it and saw some words Xu Ming had said to him.

In the letter, Zhu Cici learned that Xu Ming was about to join the army, and that he didn't need to send him birthday gifts in the future because Xu Ming would not be able to receive them in the army.

As for the small shuttlecock, it was made by Xu Ming himself. It is a bit rough, and I hope Zhu Cici won’t dislike it.

Zhu Cici spread out another letter, which contained a poem.

"I will never miss you in my life,
Only then will I miss you.
I will suffer from lovesickness.

My body is like a floating cloud,

My heart is like flying catkins,

The breath is like a gossamer,

There is a lingering fragrance in the air,
Where is the beautiful lady worth a thousand gold?

When will the syndrome come?

When the lamp is half dim, when the moon is half bright. "

As she read, a blush flew across the girl's cheeks. She couldn't help but hold the letter tightly in her little hands. Her long eyelashes blinked gently, reflecting the morning sunlight. The elegance and dignity as well as the youthfulness unique to girls were all natural to the little girl.

If you don't know how to feel lovesickness after you are born, then you will suffer from lovesickness.

My body is like a floating cloud, my heart is like flying catkins, my breath is like wisps of silk, only a trace of fragrance remains here, but I don’t know where my sweetheart has gone.

When do the symptoms of lovesickness arrive and are they at their most severe?
It is when the lights are dim and the moon is half bright.

This poem is easy to understand, how could Zhu Cici not understand its meaning?

"I didn't expect that Xu Ming misses me so much?" Zhu Cici's eyes were dazed. The more he looked at this poem, the more he liked it.

"Miss, what are you looking at? Can I see it?" The maid Xiaoqiao blinked expectantly.

"No."

Zhu Cici turned around, carefully put away the poems and letters, then held the white feather shuttlecock in his palm and gently played with it, full of joy.

Xu Ming said that the shuttlecock was a bit rough, but in Zhu Cici's opinion, it was extremely exquisite.

"Miss, you are so stingy." Xiaoqiao pouted, "It's obvious that Miss's package was delivered by me at the risk of being punished by the master and the mistress."

"No." Zhu Cici's eyes curved, and the elegant girl was a little playful, "Anyway, I won't give it to you."

"Miss, Miss~~~" Xiaoqiao, who is seven years older than Zhu Cici, kept begging, "Xu Xiaocai must have written a poem for you, please let me see it. I really want to see it."

The State of Qi values ​​literature, so once good poems or lyrics appear, they will spread throughout the State of Qi.

Xu Ming was very famous in Wu State, but what Xu Ming didn't know was that in Qi State, his words dedicated to Zhu Cici, "What cannot be retained in the world is the red face leaving the mirror, the flowers leaving the trees", made many young women and girls in Qi State sad.

Many people are looking forward to Xu Ming's new work, but Xu Ming has not written a single poem recently.

"Okay then. I'll show it to you." Zhu Cici's cheeks turned slightly red, and she pushed the poem on the table a little forward.

For the girl, Xiaoqiao has been with her since she was a child, and Zhu Cici trusts her very much, so it’s okay to let her take a look.

Not to mention that Xiaoqiao also knew that he and Xu Ming had been exchanging letters, he just didn't tell her about the engagement.

And if anything happens in the future, Xiaoqiao will definitely help me.

It was just like this time when he was delivering the letter for me.

"That's great~" Xiaoqiao walked forward happily and turned over the white paper with the poem written on it.

As he watched, Xiaoqiao's mouth opened into an "O" shape.

After reading it, Xiao Qiao's face also turned red.

"This young talent Xu Ming is only nine years old, how can he be so mature?"

Xiao Qiao was very surprised and wondered if this was really written by a nine-year-old child?

But if you think about it carefully, geniuses are all precocious, not to mention the poem Xu Ming wrote at the age of eight, which was extremely precocious. This poem "I have never felt lovesickness in my life, but now I feel lovesickness and I am suffering from lovesickness" is somewhat normal.

Compared to the poem "The red face leaves the mirror, the flowers leave the trees", this poem is definitely less literary, but the expression of emotions is not inferior at all.

"Okay, okay, stop looking."

Zhu Cici originally thought that there was nothing wrong with him reading the poem to her.

But seeing her staring at me is really embarrassing.
"Miss, can I read the poems of the talented Xu Ming every time on your birthday?"

If it was the poem "Dielianhua: Presented to Zhu Cici" (a name given to this poem by people after Zhu Cici left) that made Xiaoqiao feel very fond of Xu Ming.

This song "Lovesickness" has completely turned Xiaoqiao into a fangirl.

And Miss and Xu Ming are a really good couple!
The two met when they were children and fell in love at first sight. The man was talented and the woman was beautiful.

Later, because they lived in different places, they could only communicate through letters and give each other gifts on birthdays.

Such a pure love, if Master Xu Ming becomes successful and famous when he grows up, he will come to marry the young lady with a grand ceremony.
Just thinking about it for a while, Xiaoqiao wanted to twist himself into a knot.

The only problem is that the young lady is a natural talent for writing, so how could Qi be willing to marry her to Wu?
"Miss, you won't elope with the young talent Xu Ming by then, right?"

As he was thinking about it, Xiaoqiao had already imagined a bunch of melodramatic plots written by novelists.

"If it really comes to that time, I will definitely help the lady elope!" Xiaoqiao clenched his fists and made up his mind silently in his heart.

"I probably won't receive it on my birthday in the future." Zhu Cici shook his head.

"Why?" Xiaoqiao felt like the sky was falling!

"Because Xu Ming said he was going to join the army." Zhu Cici sighed softly, "The Wu army has strict management and hard training. How can he have time to write poetry? I just hope he is safe and sound."

"Miss, what gift did you prepare for Xu Caizi?"

Xiaoqiao looked at the embroidery on the table.

Xiaoqiao knew that the young lady had been learning needlework these days in order to make a beautiful dress for Xu Ming someday.

“I will still be prepared.”

Zhu Cici's eyes were curved.

“I make it for him as a birthday present every year.

When he came to me, I gave him everything."
