Ah Chang

Chapter 23

Everyone in Jianshui Pavilion has their own secrets, even the most innocent-looking Peach Blossom.

Although she already knew that the matter between Keli and Fuqu was just a ridiculous misunderstanding, Taohua still had a prejudice against that "Medical Envoy" who always seemed careless and liked to lie to her. After all, Keli always called her "" "Little ghost", Taohua hates others treating her like a child.

"Morning Sister A-Shang! Are you feeling better today?"

Taohua took the opportunity to deliver medicine to A-Shang and sneaked out from Keli again. A-Shang was feeding the little bird that was kept in the house.

"Sister A Chang, where did this little sparrow come from? It's so cute!"

"I found it outside the window some time ago. It seemed to be injured at that time, and it almost fell from the eaves of my window."

"That is to say, sister A Chang saved it!" Tao Hua's eyes were full of admiration, and A Chang hurriedly waved her hands and explained embarrassingly: "I just found it...I didn't catch it in time at the time, and finally Lord Youfeng caught it, if you want to say...it should be Lord Youfeng who saved it."

"Sister A Chang discovered it, Master You Feng caught it, if you want to say something, you two should have saved it!" Tao Hua spoke with a sharp tongue, and then looked at the little sparrow in the cage with bewildered eyes, Ah Sensing that she was thinking, Chang asked, "Sister Taohua, what are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing..." Tao Hua leaned closer to Que'er, and replied nonchalantly, "I just think that I resemble this little Que'er."

"Resemblance?" A Chang followed her gaze, did not hear the meaning of Taohua's words, just smiled and said: "This little bird is lively, naive, and cute. It is indeed very similar to sister Taohua."

"Hey!" Taohua grinned happily when A-Shang praised her, "Not only is she as cute as me, but she's also as lucky as me!"

"Fortune?"

"That's right! It's my good fortune to be able to come to Jianshui Pavilion." Tao Hua bent her almond pupils and looked out the window, and told A Chang about her "secret".

"I lost my parents since I was a child, and lived with my uncle. Because of his gambling, my uncle owed a lot of debts and couldn't pay back, so he had to sell me to a big family as a servant... That family is bad, yes I often beat and scolded, and I couldn’t even wear warm clothes..." Taohua fluttered her eyelashes, as if she wanted to skip this tragic past: "When I was 11 years old, the lady asked me to go to the street The rouge shop helped her get back the rouge she ordered. I was careful all the way, but I still met a thief on the way back. I lost the rouge and never dared to go home...I remember it was a snowy winter night , until the lantern at the gate of the mansion was lit, I was still wandering around the gate, and at that time, I met the pavilion master."

"Pavilion Master...?" Ah Shang heard Qi Yun's appearance in this story, and her heart skipped a beat. Tao Hua nodded, and a smile began to appear on her face: "I still remember clearly , The pavilion master was wearing white clothes that day, whiter than snow, and his whole body was shining, as beautiful as a fairy descending to the earth." Speaking of Qiyun, Taohua's eyes lit up: "Pavilion master came to me, He didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand to me and asked me if I want to go with her."

"..."

"Hehe, isn't it weird?" Taohua scratched the tip of her nose embarrassingly: "It's the first time we met, and we haven't exchanged anything, and we don't even know whether it's a good person or a bad person, but I looked into the pavilion master's eyes , I felt an indescribable feeling, just handed it over like a ghost, and just followed the pavilion master."

"Now that I think about it, I'm really glad that I made the choice back then. Maybe it's what other people call my fate? Meeting the pavilion master is my destiny. The pavilion master brought me back. Here, I have no worries about food and clothing, and I can enjoy myself leisurely." , I don’t know how much better than being in that family! Later, I asked the pavilion master why he brought me back.” Taohua rolled her eyes and asked mysteriously: “Sister A Chang, guess the pavilion master How to say?"

"... Pavilion Master, what did she... say?"

"The owner of the pavilion said, because she can see that I don't want to go back." Taohua turned her face and smiled brightly at A-shang, her eyes were full of gratitude and respect for Qiyun: "Isn't it amazing? Everyone said that Pavilion The Lord has eyes that can read people’s hearts, and I feel the same way.”

"..."

A Chang was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer, because she felt the same feeling of being pierced by a glance.

Qi Yun does have a pair of eyes that can penetrate people's hearts, not just people's hearts, those eyes seem to be able to penetrate everything, under the gaze of those eyes, your embarrassment, your embarrassment, and all your thoughts that you don't want to be known are nowhere Can be hidden.

"Sister Ah Shang, I should go, and if I go back later, I should let that lunatic be a talking point!"

Peach Blossom left in a hurry, only Ah Chang stood by the window and stared at the little sparrow in the cage. She always felt that she had seen Qi Yun's eyes somewhere earlier than when she first met in Baihua Pavilion .

---------

Ke Li said that Qi Yun would not leave for long, A Chang counted the time, it was already the sixth day, one day later than the three or five days that Ke Li said.

A Chang feeds the little bird by the window every day, but her eyes stay more on the path that Qi Yun will pass by when she comes back. When she was distracted, her fingertip was scratched by the little bird's claw, and there was a light red mark. It hurts slightly.Only then did A Chang discover that Xiao Que had fully recovered.

"Since you're fine, I should let you go home."

A Chang frowned and tapped Xiao Que's naughty paws. She would only show some naughty gestures when no one was around.

Worried about whether the little bird could really fly, A Chang carefully lifted the cage into the courtyard, and she held the little bird carefully in her hand, and the little bird rubbed her furry head against her palm as if feeling something, as if she was talking to her. When she said goodbye, Ah Shang suddenly felt a little bit reluctant, and her eyes turned slightly red.

"Fly carefully this time."

A Chang held the little bird to her cheek and gently rubbed it back. After gently exhorting her, she let go of her hands, and the moment the little bird spread its wings and took off, the redness in its eyes deepened.

The little sparrow flew to the branch of the begonia, stopped there and screamed, and seemed unwilling to leave. A Chang rubbed her eyes and leaned over, whispering softly: "Let's go, your family must be there waiting for you."

"Maybe it doesn't have a home." The long-awaited voice came from behind, perhaps because he was afraid that his sentimentality would be seen, A Chang didn't dare to look back at the first moment, only to hear the voice a little closer, and She kept a perfect distance: "Or maybe, it doesn't want to go back at all."

A Chang looked back, it was those eyes that could pierce her heart.

"Master...you are back..."

I don't know how long Qi Yun watched from the sidelines, A Chang looked shy and a little timid, Qi Yun lowered his eyelashes slightly, and said with a gentle arc under the sun: "Listen to Keli that you have been waiting for me to come back." A Chang was so shocked The redness in Wen's eyes has not faded, and then flooded his cheeks: "I...I..."

Just when he didn't know how to explain it, the little sparrow flew back towards A-Shang again. The little sparrow didn't know how to slow down, and with its sharp little claws, it seemed that it was about to grab A-Shang's tender shoulders, and Qi Yun reached out to it, Let the little bird land on her finger first, and then gently and steadily put it on A Chang's shoulder. When he raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, there was a breeze flowing through, and A Chang's heart was also gently blown.

"It seems to like you very much, just stay."

"But...I already have a lamb, would it be too..."

"These animals are well-behaved and docile, and their hearts are clean." Qi Yun dispelled A-Shang's worries, and teased the little bird on her shoulder: "Seeing more intrigues between people, swords and halberds, I like these simple animals more. There is no need to design or guard against things, and it is very comfortable to stay with them.”

"Is that so..." A-Shang turned to look at the bird on her shoulder, trying to understand what Qi Yun said, and Qi Yun turned to look at her: "A-Shang is also very cute."
