Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 703: Stunning Woman

The sunlight behind her cast a halo on her figure, which swayed slightly as the horse ran.

The first time he saw her riding towards him from afar, he inexplicably recalled the day when he left the capital. She was walking between the ridges of the fields, and the sunlight behind her cast a halo on her figure.

At that moment, I wished that time could be frozen into eternity.

Time flies, several years have passed, and the familiar situation appears again. However, at this moment, I no longer have any qualifications to hope for anything.

Bai Yunhe just felt that the answer to his sleepless nights over the past few days had finally come.

Even though the distance was far, he couldn't see her face or her eyes clearly. However, a sentence still emerged clearly in his mind: "The sun is bright and the wind is blowing, and the grass and trees are thriving."

She was so bright and dazzling, she had always been so bright and dazzling, which made him subconsciously want to approach her and get close to her.

Watching her laugh and making noises, I imagined that the days with her could be lively, interesting, and reassuring.

She can go out with me to enjoy the flowers in the spring when the flowers are in full bloom, talking and laughing. Or on a snowy winter day, we can move a beauty couch, nestle under the window, talk about everything, play chess and drink tea.

What a desirable life that would be! Bai Yunhe was lost in thought.

Bai Liyun, who was standing next to him, glanced at his son and secretly despised him in his heart, "Useless guy!"

"Your humble servant Hua Lei, the prefect of Xichang Prefecture, greets General Bai and Master Bai."

"Your humble servant Pei Rongjin, the co-magistrate of Xichang Prefecture, greets General Bai and Young Master Bai." Hua Lei and Rong Jin, who had already dismounted, stepped forward and bowed to greet Bai Liyun and Bai Yunhe.

"Master Hua, Master Pei, please stand up." Bai Liyun stood and gave them a fake hand, then bowed and said, "You two masters are here very early. I just finished training here, so my clothes are a little disheveled. Please don't blame me, Masters."

The moment he lowered his wrist, he accidentally touched Bai Yunhe beside him. Bai Yunhe, who was in a daze, lowered his head and leaned forward to return the greeting. The bitterness in his heart suddenly made his whole heart tremble.

She came! She was still as beautiful as before, no, even more beautiful. He came too! They walked side by side, together!

"General Bai, you are too polite. It was my fault for being impatient and not thinking carefully, so I came early." Hua Lei said politely.

Looking at Hualei, who was dressed in a scarlet official uniform, she stood gracefully. Because of the hot weather, her face was red from the slight sweat.

Her almond-shaped eyes were full of energy, showing no sign of fatigue from days of continuous travel. Her confident eyebrows and eyes, as well as her demeanor, added to her outstanding appearance.

Rong Jin, who was half a step behind Hua Lei, was also wearing a light crimson official uniform and looked handsome. The two of them standing together looked like a perfect match, a perfect match, and extremely harmonious.

Bai Liyun's bronze face remained expressionless, but he sighed slightly in his heart. Suddenly, he had the answer to why Bai Yunhe had refused to go on a blind date and start a family for so long.

Just looking at the appearance of Hualei, she is already a stunning woman! It seems that my son really missed it. I took back the words I just said to my son.

Hua Lei, who was standing opposite, was also looking at Bai Liyun calmly, estimating the success rate of asking the other party for help.

Compared to Pei Jingyang's Confucian general style, Bai Liyun seemed colder and harder, with an angular face, a slightly pursed mouth, and a look that made him difficult to talk to.

Compared to Bai Yunhe next to him, Bai Liyun is more robust, with a healthy bronze complexion, but the facial features of the father and son are also very similar. His eyebrows are cold and his eyes are slightly raised.

He hoped that Bai Liyun would help him make a waterwheel for the sake of the people. Bai Yunhe was quite enthusiastic and had helped him when he met him by chance at the Fishery and Salt Approval Office.

Hualei was speculating in her heart.

"Master Hua, Master Pei, please come in." Bai Liyun raised his hand and said. He turned around, glanced at Bai Yunhe who lowered his head slightly, and led Hua Lei and Rong Jin into his tent.

Everyone greeted each other again and took their seats as host and guest. Rong Jin naturally stood at the seat below Hua Lei and sat down only after Hua Lei took her seat.

Bai Liyun, who was sitting at the top seat, looked at Hua Lei, then at Rong Jin, his eyes flickering. The assistant beside Bai Liyun had already served tea to Hua Lei and Rong Jin.

"Master Hua, Master Pei, please have some tea." Bai Liyun raised his hand and offered tea. He was not arrogant or indifferent to Hua Lei and Rong Jin, two people who were twice his age.

"Thank you, General Bai. General Bai, this is the homemade wine I brought from Shangjing City. The quantity is not large, General Bai, please have a taste.

Also, this tea is picked from our own mountain, it's not expensive, just for the sake of freshness." Hualei made a slight gesture, and Ziyun and Ziyan behind her carefully placed the wine and tea they brought on the table.

In the Great Sheng Dynasty, there were no transparent glass bottles, and wine was usually stored directly in pottery jars. However, Hualei felt that using black pottery jars to store wine did not look good.

Therefore, we specially customized a white porcelain bottle for wine, and printed yellow and white grape flowers on the bottle, which is petite, charming, fresh and elegant.

At this time, Hualei packed more than a dozen bottles of wine into eight small gift baskets, two bottles in each, using bamboo baskets of appropriate sizes.

Two small bags of tea were placed in each gift basket, tied with green silk ribbons that resembled grapevine leaves, which looked pleasing to the eye.

"Master Hua, that's so thoughtful. Thank you." Bai Liyun thanked him politely while looking at the wine on the table.

"Is this the famous 'Hanami' wine in Shangjing City that is hard to buy even with money? I drank it once at my father's place when I went back to Shangjing City last time. It is indeed unique in flavor."

"As long as General Bai likes it..." Hua Lei, who originally wanted to ask for help directly, looked at Bai Liyun who was a little serious, and suddenly didn't know how to start.

On the way here, Rong Jin mentioned to him Bai Liyun's character. He was upright, serious, and straightforward in his dealings with others. He was a rule-abiding and taciturn person.

This is very different from his father-in-law Pei Jingyang, who is polite on the outside but friendly on the inside. It is also very different from Bai Yunhe, who is a bit eccentric.

Bai Liyun is a slow-warm person, so it would seem inappropriate if he directly asked the other party to help him make the waterwheel.

What should I say to make Bai Liyun interested? Hualei had thought of countless opening remarks on the road, but in front of the serious Bai Liyun, she suddenly felt that none of them were appropriate.

Bai Yunhe, who was standing opposite, looked at Hua Lei who seemed to be hesitant to speak, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and spoke with a chuckle.
