At evening, Hua Xiaomai left the blacksmith shop of her mother, Hua Erniang, and Jing Taihe, making a trip to Lianshun Escort Agency on the way. She heard Meng Yuhuai say he wanted to go home early today and instantly became overjoyed, cheerfully bidding farewell to everyone, and dragging him out of town onto the official road.
This was probably the most pleasant period of the year in Fuzhe County. In late spring, the sunshine was bright but not scorching. As evening approached, the sun would hide behind the clouds, and a cool breeze would rise, carrying the fragrance of flowers and grass straight to one's face. It was soothing from head to toe.
Unlike the composed Meng Yuhuai, Hua Xiaomai was inherently restless, walking briskly ahead with her hands behind her back, occasionally turning back to give him a beaming smile.
"Does this really make you so happy?" Meng Yuhuai's heart felt soft as he took his horse Old Black and hastened to walk beside her.
