Dream Breaks One Day - C180
Wang Baishi woke up in the morning, as usual, on a calm and relaxed afternoon of an unknown year. He took care of his own yard, lifted the water, and watered the flowers … Planting…
The courtyard wasn’t big, but it was beautifully decorated. Rare and precious plants mixed with ordinary vegetables to grow. It was hard to tell how much it tasted like … But these were all taken care of meticulously by the Young Master Baishi, and in his words, they were all treated like children.
Young Master Baishi’s courtyard was very big. Furthermore, it was close to the river bank. The aquatic plants there were beautiful, and although there were no extravagant decorations, they lived a very meticulous life. One could tell the taste and value of the owner of the courtyard just by looking at a small piece of exquisite silk … It had to be a great figure who lived in seclusion here.
Young Master Baishi never defended himself. He didn’t compete for fame and wealth, and he didn’t even negotiate with the neighbors. It was clear that he was just a rich and idle person … Not deny, not defend…
He remembered that when he first moved here, he said he had everything.
His family business was exceptionally huge, yet he had moved outside the city instead of the bustling and bustling area of the city where every inch of land was worth every penny. Some people said that the young master of a noble family probably committed a crime and came here to take shelter … Some said that it was probably a high official who had returned to his hometown after having stolen a lot of money, and was now here to spend the rest of his life in peace …
As time went on, these rumors broke down. First of all, the Young Master Baishi did things in an extremely high-profile manner. As soon as he arrived, he chose this quiet and chaotic place and spent a huge amount of money to tidy up the courtyard.
He was exceptionally handsome, and there were often fishes swimming into the pond along the waterway, playing around under the lotus leaves. There was a plum tree in the center of the courtyard, but that ordinary plum tree that could be found everywhere was specially transported from the capital. Naturally, the amount of manpower and resources spent on the journey was not small … Although they were all ordinary things, they still showed the astonishing wealth of the Young Master Baishi. How could such a high-profile person who did those things be able to avoid disaster?
However, if it was mentioned that he was a high-ranking official who had returned home to return home, then that would be impossible. The Young Master Baishi was only in his thirties, how could he have the appearance of returning home?
What was even more amazing was his appearance. In this poor and remote area, he had never seen such a beautiful man before …
At the beginning, when he moved in, it was so sudden, almost without any warning, that it made the surrounding residents feel extremely flattered. How could there be someone so strange that would be willing to move in with us as our neighbor?
The longer the days passed, the more used to it. The Young Master Baishi that was moved over to them were all very polite and occasionally there would even be benefits, even though it was only his own family that needed repair? Need to fill in the soil? The neighborhood offered them a high price to work. However, this made the residents extremely satisfied …
There were about 10 or so servants who were lighting fires to cook. Although to the rich and powerful families in the capital, the servants were pitifully few, but to the poor and destitute residents, this was an unimaginably wealthy family. However, the garden in the Young Master Baishi had never been willing to let the servants interfere. It relied solely on his own hands, as if it was a secret garden that belonged to him, other than his wife …
His wife was a gentle girl, and was much more amiable than the Young Master Baishi and his neighbors. Her name was Yan Luoxue. He was as pure and gentle as Luoxue. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was already married, and was even a married Young Master Baishi, the person who proposed to marry would have long ago stepped over the threshold of his house …
Just after the end of the year, an exceptionally exquisite carriage stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, and the man who got out of the carriage was as elegant as the man in the wind. There was a hint of sadness and loneliness.
“It’s good that you’ve hidden here. If you’ve had enough fun, why don’t you go back and help me …”
The man had a delicate and pretty bearing between his brows, but compared to the gentle Bai Shi, he was much sharper.
“The situation in the country is great, there is nothing I can do to help you …” “On the other hand, if you are free, help me with the plum trees in my courtyard …”
Surprisingly, he brought the man to his treasured courtyard and showed him his plants. Until they stopped in front of the plum tree.
Luoxue brewed a pot of tea for the two men and brought it to the table under the plum tree, giving the two men who hadn’t seen each other for a long time a chance to chat. After she finished serving the tea, she walked away with a smile. She had already obtained what she wanted the most. That man’s happiness was also her greatest happiness …
“Beginners’ tea and light rice can’t be compared with the food in the palace, but it’s more fragrant and sweet.”
The man didn’t care and picked it up to take a sip. It was a very common tea in the countryside. It was just that the stew was especially meticulous and carried the scent of grass. Although it could not be considered tasty, it was still particularly tasty.
“It is the greatest honor of that girl who made the tea, if your tongue says that it is just the beginning of tea and the beginning of rice …”
They chatted all the way until dusk and had dinner in the courtyard. Although this place was not far from the capital, it would still take them less than half a day before they could return …
“The emperor should head back early to rest. I estimate that we’ll still be able to sleep in the carriage for a while, and will still be able to go to court tomorrow …”
Bai Shi seemed to hesitate and said.
“When she left, she seemed to have said something … She said that we were able to meet because of fate. Everyone should live well, if you keep feeling sad. ‘Presumably, she won’t be able to sleep soundly either … ‘
The man only paused for a split-second before he got on the car and said in an extremely soft voice,
“I got it …” He then mounted his horse and left, disappearing into the boundless night without even turning his head back …
Many of the villagers stood on the streets watching the man leave. This place was remote and there were very few strangers here, so no matter which family they came across, they would all stand out and watch the show. When they returned home, they would gossip with their families. From the moment they saw the carriage with black flowers and golden threads, they knew that the person inside was not simple.
That horse carriage was truly adorned with golden threads. Even the old man who thought himself to be the most knowledgeable had never seen such an extravagant piece of cloth …
However, that man was a guest of the Young Master Baishi, so he was naturally not a simple person … After all, the Young Master Baishi had countless of secrets in their hearts. He was probably a very mysterious person. Even though the mysterious person was currently enjoying the small happiness of having a wife make him some pastries in the yard.
No one knew that the person sitting in the carriage was the current emperor. Even though he could obtain everything in the world, he had suffered great sorrow and would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night to cry …
He was the emperor of the Great Phoenix, so he didn’t have the right to grieve or flee …
He had also merged his secret into the boundless night …
