Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 384 A Warm Rival (1)
"This is the one." Cai Qing unfolded the scroll in front of Li Zhu, and Li Zhu looked at it. The scenery of the two paintings was the same, except that the latter one had one less figure than the former one.However, if you taste it carefully, you will find that the previous one is more interesting.

Li Zhu blinked her bright eyes, looked at Cai Qing and said: "Don't think that I don't know how to paint, so you want to deceive me, it's better to send the wrong one." She paused and added: "Be more careful."

Cai Qing turned his face, just in time to meet her gaze.There was a smile in Li Zhu's eyes, she seemed to understand something, Cai Qing only felt his heart beating like thunder, and a rush of blood rushed to the top of his head, as if he was drunk.

He said: "I didn't deceive you, just accept it if you like. I was afraid that you would misunderstand it." He just felt that the voice didn't seem to be his own.

"I was afraid of my misunderstanding before, but now you are not afraid?"

Cai Qing whispered, "Don't be afraid anymore."

Li Zhu laughed happily, and Cai Qing also laughed.

Li Zhu found that he liked his smile very much, especially when he smiled from the heart instead of the usual light smile for entertainment, it was very touching, the smile was warm and made people feel like a spring breeze.

Li Zhu was about to say something, but Cai Qing also opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

She smiled and said, "You talk first."

Cai Qing also smiled: "You go first."

When the two were giving in, they suddenly heard someone talking outside. It was Yang Mo talking to Li Sanjie: "Sister, the flowers you embroider are getting more and more beautiful."

"Ah Mo's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. Your future daughter-in-law is blessed."

"Don't make fun of me, where is Azhu? You're not admiring the paintings, are you?"

"I'm at home, I'll call her."

"No, I'll go in by myself."

As soon as the two heard the sound, they immediately sat upright, and Cai Qing frantically covered the painting behind on top of the one in front.

As soon as Cai Qing finished this little action, Yang Mo wandered in.

With a narrow smile on his face, he looked at Cai Qing and said, "I was going to find you, what a coincidence."

Cai Qing tried his best to restore his usual indifference: "I'm here to look for you, stop by and have a look."

Yang Mo smiled and didn't expose him.

Yang Mo's gaze quickly stayed on the painting on the table again.

"Not bad. Nice."

The two sat for a while, then Yang Mo and Cai Qing left.

Third Sister Li also put away the flower frame, came in and said to Li Zhu, "Azhu, that person just now is very nice."

Li Zhu generously admitted: "It's not bad."

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Li Zhu woke up, he heard Xiao Chun say that there was another delivery outside the door.

It was a basket of dewy shepherd's purse, which should have just been picked. The shepherd's purse was green and tender, just like him.

Li Zhu smiled and said, "Put it away, let's eat shepherd's purse dumplings for lunch today."

"Okay." Xiaochun took the basket and went to the kitchen to tidy up.

Li Zhu found that Cai Qing was very good at giving gifts. The gifts he gave would not be embarrassingly expensive, but would meet her needs just right.Such as flowers, wild vegetables, wild fruits, seeds and various handicrafts.

After a long time, Li Sanjie and the others also knew who sent it.

She asked Li Zhu puzzledly: "Since you are interested, why doesn't he come to propose marriage?"

Li Zhu sighed, she heard from Yang Mo that Cai Qing was trying to get his family's consent and had to deal with the angry Lizheng family.Originally, Lizheng and his wife lost their temper because of Yang Qiuli's quarrel. In the end, he mercifully agreed to the marriage. When he tactfully revealed his meaning to the Cai family, Cai Cheng and Lu also readily agreed. Although Cai Bai was not happy, but It's not his turn to call the shots at home.Li Zheng originally thought that this matter was a sure thing, but unexpectedly, Cai Qing refused!Although he refused very tactfully, no matter how tactful he was, he still refused.

Lizheng felt that his dignity and face had been seriously hurt. Yang Qiuli also knew it, and it was difficult to accept it for a while. It is said that he has been on a hunger strike for two days.
