Yu Wu Hen strolled through the manor, looking at these elegant and dignified pavilions.
Unknowingly, an arched stone gate appeared in front of his eyes. Entering through the gate, he saw a courtyard, where there were numerous rocks, caves, and wondrous rock formations; ingeniously crafted, exquisite ponds, pavilions and pavilions were all cleverly concealed among the green and green jade trees. The four walls of the courtyard were also made of blue tiles and white walls with double eaves. The four sides of the eaves and ridges were all carved with divine beasts, and the east and west were carved with two sacred objects, the sun candle, which was the most powerful and honorable sacred beast among the Celestial Beasts. It belonged to the sun and the sun, and its outer appearance was like a gigantic black sphere, symbolizing the sun. In the middle of the north and south eaves were carved the phoenix and the turtle. On the four walls were blue four spirit diagrams: Azure Dragon as the East, White Tiger as the West, Vermillion Bird as the South, and the Black Tortoise as the North. These were the four spirits of Heaven, with the will of the four directions.
Yu Wuhen walked along the winding and serene corridor, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the garden with great interest. He saw the graceful and graceful willow branches drooping down like green silk ribbons swaying in the wind; the glittering golden waters of the lake, where carp chased and played, faintly appearing under the green duckweed; the lotus flowers in the pool were colorful, full of varieties and competing with each other. There were yellow lotuses, white lotuses, red lotuses, blue lotuses, purple lotuses … There was the Dying Lotus, the Yin Yang Lotus, and even that precious Thousand Leaf Lotus.
"Beautiful. Beautiful. Truly beautiful beyond compare." Yu Wuhen seemed to forget himself as he started to praise.
"Caw Caw!"
A loud bird's cry drew Yu Wu Hen's attention to a green lotus. He saw a small frog lying on one of the lotus leaves, with its cheeks puffed up, singing. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but be distracted. His slender fingers were holding a crystal clear jade bead. With a light flick, the bead hit the lotus leaf with a 'sou' sound. He leaned forward and was about to jump into the pond, when he saw the transparent pearl rolling back and forth on the leaves, and started fiddling with it with his front paws, but the pearl rolled into the pond, and the little frog stretched its head out and looked into the pond, and immediately after, a red carp jumped out of the water, and held the jade pearl in its mouth, and at that moment, two, three … More and more carp came over and started to compete and play. The surface of the water was like boiling water as they all started to cheer.
At that moment, he couldn't help but think back to the time when he was still with his junior brother, Yu Qing, at the edge of the Heaven's Edge pool. Back then, they had used pebbles to blow away the fish in the pool, causing white flowers to bloom on the surface of the water. The result was that he was punished by his master, but his master only acted as if he was raised high in the air and gently landed on the two of them.
"If everyone is as mischievous as you two, not to mention the fish in this pond, even if they are alive, sooner or later they would be killed by the stone in your hands." At this moment, the smile on Yu Wuhen's face became even more resplendent as he heard his Master's voice from the past once again.
"If all of them were thrown into the pool like Young Master, not only would they disturb the tranquility of the pool, they would even make the fishes unable to live peacefully. They fought over each other until their bodies were covered in wounds. How pitiful, how pitiful!"
A voice that sounded like clear spring water interrupted Yu Wuhen's recollection. He looked towards the source of the voice and saw a woman with slight frown and resentment slowly walking over.
The woman was dressed in a white magnolia phoenix tail dress with a golden silk ribbon around the collar and sleeves. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she wore a golden amaryllis in her hair. She wore a jade ornamental ambrosia on her forehead, and she was tied around her waist with a brocade sachet inlaid with Manualite. "If you looked at her face, she was a celestial beauty with a beauty that could topple empires. Her beauty was so beautiful that you couldn't look at her directly.
Hearing the young lady's seemingly reprimanding words, Yu Wuhen knew that his earlier actions had been disrespectful, so he felt a little embarrassed. He quickly bowed deeply towards the young lady and said, "The lesson young lady has taught is correct, this humble one pays his respects to the young lady."
Seeing that the youth in white was regretting his decision, and that he had spoken so earnestly, the girl's brows relaxed as she gently said, "Actually, I know that the beauty of the garden has touched my heart, so I can't help but express my feelings. This young master is truly innocent, not like someone's words."
The lady seemed to want to say something but lowered her head hesitantly. Her gaze roamed around, purposely avoiding Yu Wuhen's gaze.
When Yu Wuhen heard her words, he felt something in his heart. He could tell that although this girl's tone was gentle and her expression was calm, but from the melancholy and sadness in her eyes, he could tell that this girl was just like him, a pitiful person with ups and downs.
"Why is it that the young lady came alone and didn't see anyone accompanying her?" In order to break the dreary atmosphere, Yu Wuhen changed the topic of conversation.
"Oh, I heard that the manor has an important guest today and they are all busy. I was the only one who had nothing better to do in the manor, so I came to take a walk. I didn't expect to meet the young master, and after seeing him for so long, I still don't know how to address him."
"My name is Yu Wuhen." Yu Wuhen cupped his hands and said to the girl.
"Yu Wu Hen?"
Upon hearing these words, she suddenly saw a strange light in her eyes, sweeping away her previous worry, she laughed: "Aiya, blame me for being stupid, so you're that young hero, Young Hero Yu who lost to the river monster in Huai Lijiang!"
"You flatter me, young lady. Those are just rumors. In fact, there aren't any river monsters either. Those are just people who use magic treasures to make trouble for others."
Her long and slender fingers were at a loss of what to do as she continued to stroke her sleeve. She bashfully said, "Just now, I was busy with scolding the Young Master, and I didn't even pay my respects to the Young Master. This little girl has really lost her manners. Please forgive me, Young Master." With that, she lowered her head slightly with red cheeks and gave Yu Wugen a 'blessings' salute.
"Lady, there is no need for you to do this. I cannot bear it. Err …" I wonder if you could tell me your name? "
The lady said shyly, "Young Master, if you don't mind, you can call me Yu Qing."
"'Rain', hmm, a good name!" "In the east, the sun shines in the west, but there is a clear sky. The name 'lady' is clearly visible in this poetic scene."
"Pfft", the girl called Yuqing laughed embarrassedly while covering her mouth.
