Chapter 265 Qiuyue Pear
There is no such thing as inexplicable perception in the world. — Lyndon B. Smith.
The day after Cui Wu left, Prime Minister Lin, who was up early and ready to make a name for himself at the city lord's mansion, opened the first memorial on the mountain of documents and prepared to begin a day of hard work.
A few breaths later, Lord Lin looked at the document in his hand, thinking that he recognized every word on it, but why he couldn't understand it when they were put together.
"Regarding the maintenance of the Thousand Mountains Overlapping Formation? I don't know how to do that. We'll talk about it when Cui Wu returns."
He closed the folded document and set it aside, then confidently picked up another folded document and opened it...
"Is the maintenance and upkeep of the north city wall prohibited?"
"Gathering medicinal herbs in the Southern Garden?"
……
These were indeed all urgent matters for Fuyang City to handle, but none of them were ones that Linden could immediately take charge of.
Lord Lin was sweating profusely, realizing he had overestimated himself, as was Cui Wu…
As the saying goes, one dared to accept, and the other dared to give.
Even so, he was unwilling to admit defeat and longed to find something he could handle from the mountain of tasks.
When he received the tenth folded document, he found a small note with familiar handwriting inside, which read:
"Read a book."
Linden heard Cui Wu's voice automatically in his mind. He looked at the two large bookshelves in Cui Wu's study, which were filled with books.
Each book contains Cui Wu's meticulous annotations.
He sighed, "So even immortals aren't born knowing everything..."
Having been an official for many years and past thirty, Prime Minister Lin never imagined he would one day have to consult books to handle official business. The young man pulled a book from the shelf and suddenly remembered what he had said to Cui Wu the day before.
His Majesty doesn't treat people like livestock; he treats them like livestock.
Lin Xiang carried a large stack of books back to the table and opened the folded book again.
Some livestock were freed, while others came back to life!
In Lianyue City, a thousand miles away, a woman in an apricot-colored dress waited outside the city gates for them to open. Sensing something, a gentle smile appeared on her lips.
Fuyang City, after all, is a city of mortals. When the entire wasteland is reclaimed and the demons are vanquished, this great city, transformed by immortals, will ultimately become a home for mortals.
Hopefully, the books she left behind can offer some help to future generations.
The soldiers guarding the city opened the city gates, and the people who had been waiting outside the city all crowded around. Some of them were carrying loads of ripe fruit on their shoulders.
It looks like they want to set up a stall in the city.
Cui Wu followed behind an old woman, watching the baskets she carried at the back.
The cotton cloth on the basket was lifted at one corner, revealing a fresh, tender yellow color underneath.
It is a basket of Autumn Moon pears of excellent quality.
Cui Wu remembers that he especially liked to eat this when he was a child, but he had a weak spleen and stomach, and pears were cooling in nature, so his mother always told him not to eat too many.
When the two of them shared a pear, the mother, who had been a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) for many years and had excellent knife skills, would always cut it crookedly, and she would usually only get a small half without the core.
Even if you're lucky enough to get half a pear once, the chubby father will come over and say he's thirsty and wants to share...
Thinking about it this way, it really shows how deep the love was.
Thinking this, she called out to the old woman in front of her.
"Old man, could you sell me a few pears?"
A quarter of an hour later, a girl dressed in a gentle apricot-colored dress appeared in front of a clothing shop, carrying several pears in her arms.
The city gates had just opened, and there weren't many people on the streets yet. None of the shops on either side of the road were open, except for this clothing shop, which had opened early. There was a sign by the door saying that the shop had just received some of the finest Jingyue yarn.
Cui Wu stood outside the door, his heart pounding. As he clenched his fists, he accidentally tore the skin of the Qiuyue pear in his arms.
The cool juice moistened her fingertips, and only then did the woman come to her senses and look at the shop in front of her.
Cui Wu felt as if he had been in another world. The last time he came here was ten years ago when he eliminated the Silky Sword Immortal.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and went into the shop.
It was still dark inside the shop before dawn. Cui Wu saw two people hunched over the counter, and a roll of fabric on the table.
The two spoke in hushed tones.
"This color is beautiful, keep one," the middle-aged woman said.
"Alright, alright, keep one," the man opposite her replied.
Cui Wu's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She wanted to call out to her parents, but when she opened her mouth, she could only say:
"Boss, do you have ready-made clothes?"
Cui Cheng had poor eyesight. Upon hearing this, he took two steps toward a brighter spot, rubbed his eyes, and then he could see the young woman in front of him clearly.
At that one glance, the boss seemed to have something in his eye, and he kept rubbing it with his large, fat hand.
"Yes, of course... Miss, please have a seat."
He rubbed his eyes, turned around, and looked at his wife, Qian Yuejiao.
He saw his wife's trembling hands.
"Madam, go and get the ready-made clothes."
Qian Yuejiao walked inside and opened the inner room, which was not usually open to guests. Inside was a large pear wood wardrobe, and inside were women's clothes of various colors and styles.
From children's clothes to adults' clothes, all neatly arranged and brand new, were placed inside.
It seems like they've been waiting for someone.
Qian Yuejiao looked at the wardrobe full of clothes, her hands trembling as she took out the adult clothes. As she did so, she said:
"The same height, the same looks..."
As she said this, a hot tear fell onto the dress in her hand.
Cui Wu sat in the shop for a while, watching Qian Yuejiao come out from behind carrying a large pile of clothes. There were fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and one could vaguely see the unparalleled beauty he once possessed.
Qian Yuejiao looked at the girl in front of her holding a pear, her gaze tracing the girl's features.
"She looks just like me..." she murmured to herself.
The nose is similar, and the mouth is similar too.
It looks good everywhere.
"Girl, try them all." The woman had a gentle smile on her face. She put the clothes aside and took the several large and round autumn pears from Cui Wu and placed them on the table.
Cui Wuyou said somewhat reservedly, "Thank you, Madam."
Qian Yuejiao picked up a light blue dress and placed it in front of Cui Wu. "Try this one first."
Cui Wu obediently took it, a smile on his face, looking incredibly well-behaved.
"Ok!"
Mother.
There was a large bronze mirror in the clothing shop, but it wasn't very bright, so Cui Wu couldn't see himself dressed. However, Qian Yuejiao picked up a piece of clothing and placed it in front of him.
The woman asked Qian Yuejiao with a smile again and again:
"Does it look good?"
Qian Yuejiao watched as the colorful clothes moved in front of her, and the woman was bright and lovely, like a spring flower.
My eyes welled up with tears.
Those clothes, those clothes that have been made for many years and kept in the closet.
The longing sewn in stitch by stitch has finally fallen upon the one being longed for.
