Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

Chapter 5 Heroines of the Song Dynasty (3)

Since Dong Yue'e had decided to adopt a tomboyish style, she naturally wouldn't choose clothing that was too much like that of a refined lady. Fortunately, since the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty, it had become fashionable for women in the Central Plains to wear Hu clothing, and Dong's mother had made a few of them when she was young.

Hu clothing typically consisted of a close-fitting short jacket, trousers, and leather boots. The clothing was tight-fitting and allowed for easy movement.

Compared to Dong Yue'e's fitted outfit, the Hu-style outer garment was a round-necked, narrow-sleeved long robe, while Dong Yue'e's top was a cross-collar, narrow-sleeved short jacket, though her trousers were similar.

The distinctive red, blue, and purple embroidery on the robe made the Hu clothing look much more luxurious than the plain, unadorned outfit.

Originally, the Hu Xuan dance was very popular in the Central Plains after the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty. As a dancer in the Jiaofang (Imperial Music Bureau), Dong Yue'e should have had one or two Hu Xuan costumes, but she didn't particularly like the Hu Xuan dance, so she didn't learn it or make Hu costumes.

As the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo was naturally incredibly prosperous, even surpassing modern times.

This is clearly evident in Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Although later generations say that what is depicted in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is not a prosperous scene, but a "prosperous age" with a sense of crisis, his depiction of a prosperous age is beyond doubt.

Before Dong Yue'e could even appreciate the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty, she was so startled by the emotionless voice prompt that she almost stumbled and fell.

[Ding~ Male lead Yang Yan'an's favorability towards you -5, current favorability is 30. Host, you've had a bad start!] Yingying's voice sounded a bit gloating.

Dong Yue'e looked around, but didn't see anything resembling the male protagonist. Then, as if she'd just realized something...

"Yang Yan'an, you stop right there!" Dong Yue'e turned around quickly and shouted domineeringly.

"Uh~ Third Sister." The man, dressed in a light blue robe with a blue linen half-sleeved jacket, dark trousers, and a dark belt around his waist, with his long black hair tied up with a blue ribbon, turned around and chuckled a few times at Dong Yue'e: "Third Sister... I just... turned around and left as soon as I saw you."

Dong Yue'e felt a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat. Yang Yan'an, oh Yang Yan'an, yes, you turn and run away as soon as you see me, and you lose your goodwill towards me as soon as you see me.

But! You're the kind of guy who wants to win over a wife!

You're so stubborn, it's really not a good thing for you to be so manly.

If you want to win over your wife, don't you know that persistent pursuit is the key to success?

Please don't give up!!!

Dong Yue'e thought irritably: It would have been better not to meet at all! At least if we hadn't met, my favorability rating wouldn't have dropped by five points so suddenly!

Dong Yue'e couldn't help but lament again that she had teleported at the wrong time. The transmigrated woman had made a mess of things, and she had to find a way to smooth things over. The road to winning back her husband was indeed long and arduous!

“I told you to take a detour if you saw me, so you take a detour! A real man shouldn’t listen to a woman like me like this…” Dong Yue’e was at a loss for words for a moment, and after pausing for a while, she said, “Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”

“A man of his word is a man of his word! I, Yang Yan’an, am inferior to you and I accept my defeat. Who am I afraid of laughing at? Besides, even without this matter between you and me, many people in Tokyo would still laugh at me.” Yang Yan’an waved his hand dismissively: “My Yang family dares to take responsibility for our actions. Since I have lost to you, I will naturally comply with your request.”

Dong Yue'e really didn't know how to change Yang Yan'an's stubborn and inflexible mind. She really wished she could turn back time to when she competed with Yang Yan'an in archery a month ago!

To avoid any connection with Yang Yan'an, the time-traveling woman, after being "rescued" by him, found herself constantly circling around him.

The time-traveling woman had no choice but to agree to a contest with Yang Yan'an. If Yang Yan'an lost, he was to never appear in front of her again.

In order to ensure that Yang Yan'an would lose to him, he even chose to compete in archery.

It should be noted that the Dong family's archery skills were just as famous as the Yang family's spear skills in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Using one's strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, even if Yang Yan'an was a brave and skilled general, he could not defeat the delicate "weak woman" Dong Yue'e.

"To be honest, my victory was somewhat unfair. Our Dong family has always been skilled with arrows. While other young ladies were still carrying embroidery needles, I was already using a bow," Dong Yue'e said, shaking her head.

Dong Yue'e said sincerely, "Moreover, the Dong family's archery skills are as famous as your Yang family's spear skills. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. I already had the advantage in archery, just like I did in spear fighting. That competition was inherently unfair. The so-called bet was nothing but child's play."

“Child's play? You said if you won, I wouldn’t be allowed to follow you, and I would have to avoid you whenever I saw you… Was this all just child’s play?” Yang Yan’an asked with some doubt, “Why? You were so serious about the competition and the bet back then, but now… you say it’s just child’s play. Third Sister, I find it hard to believe.”

[Ding~ Male lead Yang Yan'an's favorability towards you +5, currently at 35. Good job, host!]

Although Yang Yan'an didn't entirely believe Dong Yue'e's words, his favorability towards her increased. This made Dong Yue'e feel much more relaxed; at least she wasn't completely beyond saving.

Dong Yue'e glared angrily at Yang Yan'an: "You... idiot..."

Although Yang Yan'an didn't know why Dong Yue'e was suddenly angry, his heart softened instantly when he saw her glare, which was both shy and angry. His favorability rating jumped another five points.

"Third Sister, why are you angry? I...I..." Yang Yan'an said in a flustered and incoherent manner, "It's my fault, it's my fault, Third Sister, please don't be angry. I won't avoid you when I see you in the future. I...I...I'm just clumsy, I didn't mean to make you angry."

As Yang Yan'an spoke, he tapped his head with his right fist.

"Hey~ stop knocking." Dong Yue'e glared at Yang Yan'an again: "Be careful you don't get dumber the more you knock. You silly boy, following a woman like me around all day long, is that appropriate? That day I was just..."

Dong Yue'e glanced at Yang Yan'an coyly before saying, "Anyway, about that day... just consider it me throwing a little tantrum. Why take it so seriously and actually see me turn around and leave? Those who know you will respect you as a man of your word; those who don't might misunderstand me as a fierce woman who even the valiant Yang family generals fear."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yan'an hurriedly said, "Third Sister, Third Sister, that's not what I meant. I swear, even if you chase me away from now on, I will not turn around and leave."

"Silly boy," Dong Yue'e couldn't help but laugh and give him a reproachful look.

This Yang Sanlang is such a simple-minded fool. He believes everything he's told. If you tell him not to follow you, he'll follow you until he sees you from a distance and then turn around and leave. If you tell him not to turn around and leave as soon as he sees someone, he'll swear that he'll never leave you even if you chase him away.

Dong Yue'e smiled and shook her head: "You silly boy, I don't know if you're really silly or just pretending."
