Chapter 81

Seeing that he wanted to go, Li Enbai naturally would not stop him. The servant led the two of them inside. There was no paved road in the plum forest, and they just walked through the plum trees. If there was no servant familiar with the terrain to lead the way, Li Enbai and Yunli would probably lose their way soon after entering.

Looking at the plum trees that were similar in front, behind, left and right, Li Enbai quietly asked the system to start recording the route. It was not that he was too suspicious, but it was too easy to get lost in such a place. It would be better to let the system record it so that he would have a better idea.

Yunli was different. He had often run to the mountains since he was a child. Even though every plum tree in the plum forest looked the same now, he could still remember the route roughly. It was impossible for him to get lost, so he still looked around excitedly, shaking Li Enbai's arm from time to time. "Brother En, look, there is a flower bud that is light pink!"

The servant explained carefully, "This plum forest was specially matched when it was planted. For example, the one we are passing now is white plum. The flowers are pure white after blooming, with a light fragrance and a sense of nobility. The outermost circle is red plum. When it blooms, the tree is red, and the fragrance is stronger than that of white plums. The wind will not blow it away. Further inside, there are golden red and late jumping branches. Further north, there are spring and longyou plums, etc. There are more than 100 varieties, and the flowering period is from the end of November to the end of February next year. "Yun Li listened to the explanation of the servant and wanted to see what the plum forest looked like after seeing the flowers. However, it was still about half a month before the flowers bloomed, and they could not stay here for half a month... Yun Li was a little disappointed, but she didn't want to show it. After walking a long way inside, the servant stopped, "Mr. Li, look, these plum trees bloomed early this year, and now half of them are blooming." Yun Li's eyes were already glued to the trees and branches. The plum blossoms piled on the branches were blooming, red and pink. Even standing here, still a distance away from the plum trees, you can smell the fragrance, mixed with the cold smell of snow water. It is not as sweet as the incense they burn in their room, but it is vague, and it is difficult to tell where the light fragrance comes from. These plum trees have been carefully carved by people. Each of them is very graceful and beautiful. They are many times more beautiful than the wild plums that Yunli has seen. He slowly approached, raised his hand to hook a branch of plum blossoms, and tiptoed to smell it. This scene fell into Li Enbai's eyes, and the red plums on the tree lost their color. "System, help me take a picture." "Okay, host." The system saved this scene exactly. After decades, Li Enbai can still see this scene from the system. At that time, he can still remember the sweetest plum fragrance he smelled that day. Although he knew that the system could save the picture, Li Enbai still felt it was a pity. If he had brought a drawing board and a paintbrush, he could have painted this scene himself. Yunli seemed to be affected by the environment. He was reluctant to break the plum blossoms. He just smelled the scent and let go of the branches. He turned his head and smiled brightly at Li Enbai, "Brother En, this plum blossom smells sweet!" Li Enbai walked forward, "Really?" "Really! It's so special. I used to smell the sour fragrance of plums. I didn't expect the plum blossoms here to be sweet!" Yunli let Li Enbai smell it like a treasure. Li Enbai leaned over to smell it. The fragrance of plum blossoms was slightly different from what he smelled, but it was just because the variety was different. Where did the sweetness come from? But when he saw Yunli smiling, the light plum fragrance at the tip of his nose seemed to be mixed with a sweet taste. In fact, it doesn't matter what the real smell is like. What matters is who you come with. Such a smell will have its own unique memory. Li Enbai and Yunli walked around among these plum trees and finally chose a slightly open place with a stone table. "Let's have lunch here?" Yunli asked. He looked around. There were plum blossoms in full bloom. Brother En stood in the middle of the flowers, as if he was an immortal descending to earth. Very good! Li Enbai naturally satisfied his request. He asked the servant to go down and prepare, and the two of them sat down at the stone table in a relaxed manner. "Brother En, how many days will we stay here?" "Three days, it's almost the twelfth lunar month, and we should prepare things for the New Year. We also need to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones before the New Year. There are not many at home." Li Enbai had already made plans. This time he was done with the wind, and the next time he would go out would be after March next year. "Yeah." Yunli nodded, "Brother En, how have you been reviewing recently? What did Mr. Liu say? Can you pass the Tongsheng exam? You can, Brother En is such a good student, it's impossible for him not to pass." He asked himself and answered himself, chattering and being very lively. "You, don't think too much when you go out to play. I have Mr. Liu's guidance, and it's still a sure thing to pass the Tongsheng exam." Li Enbai gently scratched the tip of his nose, and only felt that the place where his fingers touched was a little cold. He reached out his hand to touch Yunli's cheek, and it was indeed cold. He looked at Yunli's clothes, which were not thick, and were similar to his. He immediately felt something was wrong. Li Enbai was not afraid of cold or heat. He had a system to regulate his body temperature, so he would not freeze no matter how thin he wore. But Yunli was different. Yunli did not have a system, and he could only rely on clothes to keep warm. So after the snow, Yunli only wore a thin jacket, which was obviously not warm enough. Li Enbai hugged her in his arms, "Why are you wearing so little?" Yunli pretended to be stupid, "Huh? I'm wearing a lot, four layers, the same as Brother En." Li Enbai wanted to turn her over and beat her up, but he was afraid that Yunli would really catch a cold if he moved around. "Just to dress the same as me? You don't care about keeping warm, right?" Yunli and Li Enbai were wearing similar clothes today, the style was the same, but there were some lace-like embellishments on the details of his clothes, while Li Enbai was just ordinary solid-colored clothes. This is also one of the couple's clothing designs for young men that Li Enbai had drawn. Li Enbai was always hot. He hugged Yunli, and it was as if he had moved a stove near Yunli to keep her warm. Yunli said stubbornly, "No, I'm really not cold. I'm wearing enough clothes." He was not afraid of the cold. He didn't want to be like a bear next to his handsome husband. The two looked at each other. One wanted to teach the disobedient husband a lesson, and the other wanted to play dumb to fool the husband. In the eyes of outsiders, this couple had a really good relationship. Even the sky and the earth could not make them restrain their emotions. In the depths of the plum forest not far from them, a nobleman wearing purple silk and a golden crown was looking at the two of them, but his figure was half hidden behind the tree, so Li and Yun didn't notice it. There was another person behind the nobleman, who was the man who left Liu's house today. He stood not far behind the nobleman and could also see the situation of Li Enbai and Yunli. The nobleman looked at him for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is that the disciple that Yixian found for you?" "Yixian wants me to accept him, but it's not the right time yet." The man told the truth. "Well." The nobleman stopped talking. The man stopped talking too. After a long while, the nobleman suddenly asked, "Yixian's vision is correct. Jiang Qing doesn't have to think too much." "I know." The man answered in a low voice, still speaking briefly and unwilling to say more. Seeing this, the nobleman knew that he couldn't get anything out of him, so he turned and left, "Let's go, return to Beijing." "Yes." After they left, Li Enbai secretly glanced over here. He was not a dead man. Someone was staring at them without concealing his aura. How could he not feel it? If he didn't think that these two people had no ill intentions, he would have taken Yunli away long ago. The system projected the faces of these two people in front of Li Enbai. After Li Enbai looked at them carefully, he couldn't help but take a breath. Yunli quickly stood up and asked him nervously, "Brother En, what's wrong with you? Am I too heavy and pressing you down? Why are you gasping for air?"
