When He Yan went back, Xiao Jue hadn't come back. She then said to Cuijiao and Hongqiao: "Today is really my waywardness. I'm afraid that my husband will come back and blame me for running around without guards. Therefore, the matter of the three of us going out today should not be mentioned to my husband."
Cuijiao and Hongqiao nodded.
"Come down." She collapsed on the ground: "I'll take a break."
The two maids left the back room, and He Yan lay on the collapsed, preoccupied. Liu Buwang may be in Jiyang City, but how can we find him? Knowing this earlier, when they parted, they should have agreed with Liu Buwang on a specific location. A tea shop that doesn't even know his name is a bit sloppy.
But even if she found Liu Buwang, what should she say. Today's He Yan is no longer the same as she used to be. She used her corpse to revive her soul. Even she herself felt absurd to say such a thing.
However, she still wanted to see Liu Buwang. After all, in her previous life, Liu Buwang was one of the few people who gave her real warmth. He was also a teacher and a friend. The reason why General Feihong became General Feihong was because It is precisely because Liu Bu Wang taught him a lot of skills.
When I think of General Feihong, I can't help but think of He Rufei. I don't know how He Rufei is now and whether her former subordinates found something wrong. Xu Zhiheng... It should have been a ceremony with He Xinying, the righteous Miss He family, a real lady.
In He Yan's heart, there was an inexplicable irritability, and he rolled into the wall with the quilt, facing the wall, feeling unhappy.
A voice came from behind: "What have you been thinking about on this wall?"
He Yan turned around and said, "Master?"
She sat up with a grunt, "You're back!"
Xiao Jue glanced at her, took off his coat, and said, "Are you bored and crazy?"
"It's really boring here." She sat on the couch, raised her head to look at Xiao Jue, and asked, "How is it, did you find Chai Anxi's whereabouts today?"
"No."
"Why didn't you find it?" He Yan asked curiously, "Is the information wrong?"
"died."
He Yan was stunned.
"A fire, burnt to death, not even the bones are left."
He Yan frowned: "That's not right, why did he die at this time, or burn to death, leaving no traces, is it a lie?"
Xiao Jue's lips curled slightly: "Is the liar very experienced?"
"I'm a clear detective." He Yan crossed his legs and analyzed it for him: "Could this person have received some rumors ahead of time? But young master, you have always been secretive in your work, and you will never be known by outsiders that we are here in Jiyang. What's more, Jiyang is easy to get out and difficult to enter, if he really wants to hide from someone, Jiyang is the best choice, and he should be reluctant to leave."
Xiao Jue took a sip of the tea on the table and said lazily, "Continue."
"That is to hide and wait for the opportunity to do something big." He Yan said: "The best time to fish in troubled water is when the water is the most turbulent. When the water is the most turbulent in Jiyang, isn't that the Water God Festival? In the past few days, everyone has said that the Water God Festival is the biggest festival in Jiyang, with such a grand scene, if there is chaos, the time and place will benefit the people."
Xiao Jue laughed, and his tone was neither admirable nor mean, "Miss He is really a clever plan."
"There's no such thing as a magic trick." He Yan humbly waved his hand, "It's still far worse than the young master."
Xiao Jue glanced at her, and for some reason, her previously dull mood was relieved a lot, she shook her head and sneered, "flattering."
"The concubine flattering her husband is just right." He Yan deliberately disgusted him.
After being disgusted a few times, this person will get used to it. Xiao Jue looks at her with a half-smiling smile: "Before you talk about your concubine, please look at your sitting position. Your husband is not as good as your husband."
He Yan lowered his head, retracted his crossed legs, and coughed twice, "Forget it."
"I think you're confused yourself," he sneered, "whether it's a male or a female."
"It's not that I don't want to be a woman," He Yan muttered, "but someone has to treat me as a woman first."
Xiao Jue was startled and looked up at her. After the girl finished saying this, she hugged the quilt and rolled into the corner again. She was so heartless that she didn't seem to notice that there was a trace of lightness in her words just now. of loss.
But was caught.
…
Mid-spring is four days old, and the spring is in the middle. The green fields are wandering in the moon, and the sunny days are intermittently cloudy.
On the day of the Spring Equinox, it is the Water God Festival celebrated in Jiyang City.
Early in the morning, He Yan was lying on the collapsed. As soon as she woke up, she felt a little pain in her stomach. She reached out and touched it. She was startled, and got up quickly without saying hello to Xiao Jue. Take it, go to Gong's room.
These days in Jiyang City, things have happened one after another, and I almost forgot, calculating the days, it's time for menstruation.
If talking about past life and present life, He Yan's biggest headache in the military camp was the matter of menstruation. There will always be a few inconvenient days, and you have to be careful to avoid the eyes of others. The previous life was fine, probably because her physique was strong, she didn't feel any discomfort. But today's Miss He was pampered originally, and her menstrual period was a little painful. She had to grit her teeth and endure it when she was in the military camp.
He Yan changed the menstrual belt and came out of Gong's room. He couldn't help sighing in his heart. He didn't come sooner or later, but he came during the Water God Festival today.
She went back to the house in a sullen mood, Cuijiao brought a bowl of fresh goat milk with ice cream and cheese, the food in the Cui family was really delicious, He Yan liked these snacks very much, but today she touched her stomach and shook her head: "No ate."
Xiao Jue glanced at her unexpectedly.
He Yan sighed and went to the back room to pour tea for himself. Xiao Jue stared at her back, inexplicably, and asked Hong Qiao, "What's wrong with her?"
Hong Qiao shook her head, "I don't know, that's how Madam came back from Gong's room."
"I don't know," Lin Shuanghe was walking in from the outside, when he heard the words, he approached Xiao Jue and whispered, "The menstruation is coming. During this girl's menstrual period, you have to take care of it, don't let her get tired. , Don't move heavy objects, and don't eat cold food, it's easy to be in a bad mood, and you may lose your temper."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Yan in the room shouted, "Cuijiao, forget it, you should bring the bowl of goat milk. I thought about it, but I still want to eat it."
Xiao Jue: "..."
He said to Cuijiao, "Take it out. Don't give it to her."
Cuijiao was a little embarrassed, but between the gentle lady and the indifferent young master, she still chose to listen to the young master. He went out with the bowl of goat milk.
He Yan sat on the collapse for a while without seeing any movement. When he came out, he saw Xiao Jue and Lin Shuanghe, and there were no snacks on the table, so he asked, "Where's Cuijiao?"
"When you leave the house, hurry up and dress up." Xiao Jue said, "Don't wait too long."
He Yan asked, "Now?"
"Yes," Lin Shuanghe replied with a smile, "Master Cui and his party are already in the hall."
He Yan didn't dare to delay any longer.
The Water God Festival is a traditional festival in Jiyang. Every spring equinox, there will be various programs on the canal in the center of the city. Men are fine, women have to comb the hair on the side of Jiyang.
Hong Qiao originally lived near Jiyang and combed her hair very well, but after a short while, she combed He Yan's braid of a Jiyang girl. There is a thin braid around the forehead, and the braid is braided into the long hair at the back of the head. It is very delicate. Only a rose hairpin is inserted into the right temple. , On the feet are black boots embroidered with small flowers, smart and cute, with bright eyes and white teeth. Really like a girl in Jiyang city.
When He Yan came out of the room, Lin Shuanghe's eyes lit up, and he only said, "Our wife is really good-looking, she looks good in anything she wears."
"I've won awards and awards." He Yan said humbly, and walked to the hall with Xiao Jue and the others. When he arrived at the hall, if Lin Shuanghe said, Cui Yuezhi and his concubines were already waiting.
"Huanqing is here." Cui Yuezhi stood up and said with a smile: "Today Yuyan is dressed up, I don't know, I really thought she was the girl who grew up in Jiyang, don't you think?"
Several concubines should be well behaved.
"It's getting late, then let's go." Cui Yuezhi greeted.
Today in Jiyang, it is not possible to take a horse-drawn carriage, because all the people go out, and the streets are crowded with people. It is really inconvenient to take a horse-drawn carriage. The group walked to the canal.
The canal is located in the center of the city, passing through the city, and wrapping Jiyang in a circle outside. He Yan thought that the Water God Festival in Jiyang and the Dragon Boat Festival in the Central Plains have the same effect. There are all kinds of beautiful boats with various decorations. There are also boatmen in red clothes and black scarves, who sing and paddle, probably singing the folk songs of Jiyang, very lively. A girl by the river sang with them, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Our Jiyang Water God Festival is also a festival for girls and teenagers to make love." The auntie surnamed Wei explained to He Yan, "In addition to offering sacrifices to the water god, there are many festivals for lovers. I heard that Miss Yuyan and Our son is also newly married, so we can go and have some fun."
He Yan: "...not necessary."
Their voices were heard by Cui Yuezhi, and the big man laughed and said: "Yes, yes, I remember our famous Lover's Bridge in Jiyang, you should go for a walk. According to the legend of Jiyang, you walk through the Water God Festival. Lovers on the Lover Bridge will never be separated in their entire lives."
He Yan whispered to Xiao Jue: "Have you heard it, I will never be separated in my life."
Xiao Jue's eyes fell on her face and sneered slightly, "It's terrible."
He Yan: "..."
After all, they are not real husband and wife, this kind of "won't be separated forever" is not like a blessing, but like a curse. It's a pity that Cui Yuezhi seemed to have an inexhaustible concern for his nephew's family affairs. He walked not far from the canal and said, "Look, this is the Lover's Bridge."
He Yan looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that diagonally above the canal, about seven or eight feet high, there was a bridge, and the two ends of the bridge sank into the extremely high stone walls on both sides.
This bridge is a suspension bridge. The swaying, narrow bridge can barely allow one and a half people to pass through. If there are two people, they must be very close to each other. The bridge deck is made of wooden boards, but the gap between the wooden boards is huge, and it will fall off if you are not careful.
Such a suspension bridge, just looking at it, makes people feel terrified. If you walk up, you will bend over and you will be in a surging river.
"This is our 'Lover's Bridge' in Jiyang." Cui Yuezhi said proudly, "Only those who are courageous and love each other dare to walk this bridge. If they pass, the Water God will bless the lovers, This pair of lovers will never be separated for the rest of their lives." Having said this, he patted his chest again: "I just left four times!"
He Yan looked at the four concubines behind him. He didn't speak, but he was very puzzled. If you go too far, the water god will really give blessings, won't you feel offended? Besides, being with several people will not be separated for the rest of their lives, it sounds too disrespectful to others.
If she goes, she will only go once in her life, and she will only go with one person.
Thinking of this, I feel that I think too much, what does this have to do with her? In this life, there should be no such opportunity.
"This opportunity is rare, Huanqing, Yuyan, you should also go for a walk."
He Yan: "?"
"Is Yuyan afraid of heights?" Cui Yuezhi said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if you do fall, there will be special people around to catch you. You know, thousands of lovers walk across the Lover's Bridge every year. Very few people walked past. It was really dangerous, so I would not let you cross the bridge for a long time. Crossing the bridge is all about courage and love." He looked at the rough branches and mentioned the matter, but he was very delicate, "Love will give you Courage, courage born of love, will make you invincible."
He Yan thought to himself, but there is no love between Xiao Jue and her, where did you get the courage
Concubine Wei echoed with a smile: "Yes, Miss Yuyan, didn't you say that Young Master Huanqing is obedient to you and loves you? He loves you so much, he will definitely protect you, and walk across the bridge together. ."
Their discussion was too lively, and the crowd around them also heard it. He Yan and Xiao Jue had a good life again, and the others let out good-hearted roars: "Young Master, just go with the girl."
"After walking the bridge of lovers, it will last a long time, and the love will grow old."
"Go! Look at your talent and beauty, the water god will bless you!"
He Yan was surrounded by people, listening to the booing of the people around him, very helpless. Unlucky Lin Shuanghe didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun, so he also laughed and said, "That's right, come here, let's walk a bridge to show them, our young master from Huzhou is also very courageous!"
Cui Yuezhi patted Xiao Jue's shoulder: "Furthermore, the princess loves more lovers than Jin Jian, if you can walk across the bridge of lovers, I will bring you into the palace to meet Her Royal Highness, it will be very convenient. "
Mengji Princess Mu Hongjin, He Yan was startled, saw Xiao Jue frown slightly, and said, "Okay."
He Yan: "... young master?"
Wouldn't you really want to walk on this Luo Shizi Lover's Bridge!
She is not afraid of heights, nor of water gods, nor of crossing bridges, but these three things together, plus a Xiao Jue, sounds so creepy!
Very absurd.
Xiao Jue glanced at her sideways, and said lightly, "Afraid?"
"I'm afraid it's nothing else," He Yan whispered, "I'm afraid of damaging your reputation."
His eyes were indifferent and his tone was calm: "It's been lost so many times, and it's not bad this time."
He Yan: "...?"
By accident, she was pushed to the bridge of Lover's Bridge with Xiao Jue.
When I walked to the end of the bridge to look, I found that the bridge was narrower than it looked at the bottom, and the gap between the planks was particularly large. It's okay to walk up alone, but if there are two people, I'm afraid it will be very tight. Naturally, you can't use light work on the top, you can only try to maintain the balance of your body, and according to the tacit understanding of the person beside you, plus a little luck can finish.
After reading it, He Yan scolded in his heart. It would be better if he had martial arts skills. Think about it, if a weak scholar brought a young lady over the bridge, it would be strange if he didn't fall. Although there will be no trouble if someone is following, but people will always be frightened, and the omens are not good, so they will find bad luck for themselves. The conditions of the water god are too harsh.
Cui Yuezhi and the others did not come up, but watched them from a distance on the bank under the bridge. Lin Shuanghe shouted loudly, "Master, Madam, the water god will definitely bless you!"
Chiwu was speechless, and whispered to Fei Nu: "Young master's sacrifice this time is really too big."
If it's fake, that's fine, Quan Dang is gone for nothing, if the water god is real... It's too scary, the two men will never be apart for the rest of their lives? Their young master is not as good as Long Yang, the master is in the ground, I am afraid that he will be alive. Thinking of this, I feel that this move is inappropriate, and I have to pray secretly in my heart: Expedient measures, expedient measures, there are a lot of water gods, your boss, don't take it seriously.
Looking at the narrow bridge deck, He Yan was in trouble and asked Xiao Jue, "How do we go? Go one by one?"
"Do you think you can go one by one?" Xiao Jue asked rhetorically.
He Yan looked down at the crowd watching the excitement on the shore, and said helplessly, "Maybe not."
Xiao Jue stretched out his hand and said, "Grab me."
The hand exposed from the sleeve was exceptionally slender and distinct. He Yan hesitated for a moment. Instead of grabbing his hand, he only held his wrist. Seeing that Xiao Jue did not respond, he calmed down a little and gave himself to himself. Puffed over and over again: It's just a festival to do as the Romans do, not a real lover, don't think too much, just cross the bridge quickly.
"Let's go." Xiao Jue walked forward.
The two walked to the bridge together.
As soon as they got on the bridge, the suspension bridge trembled, almost throwing people out. And the weight of the plank simply cannot accommodate two people walking side by side. The only way is to veneer face to face, but Xiao Jue and He Yan can never do this. Therefore, He Yan could only walk forward a little, Xiao Jue was behind, and he covered her side with his hands, staggering a little bit, but in this way, it was like Xiao Jue was holding her in his arms, and the two of them moved forward together. go.
He Yan felt a little uncomfortable at such a close distance. As long as he raised his head a little, his forehead could almost touch Xiao Jue's chin. She had no choice but to look straight ahead, pretending to be nonchalant and saying, "Captain, this bridge is shaking so badly that it's hard to walk even a single step. Shouldn't you do it lightly? Or pretend that you can't walk and just fall down? Anyway, someone will follow."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Jue said, "You step on my boots, hold on tight."
He Yan was stunned: "No, is it bad?"
"hurry up."
He said so, and He Yan couldn't refuse it again and again. Besides, it was indeed much simpler for two people to walk this bridge of lovers.
It's just... If you want to step on his boots, how should you put your hands, if you put your hands on your waist... It's a bit ambiguous, but if you grab his wrist like you just did, it's really unstable. After thinking about it, He Yan stretched out. Shot, clasped his shoulders, barely able to maintain balance.
"Grab firmly." Xiao Jue said, while speaking, holding the two ropes of the suspension bridge with both hands, he slowly walked forward.
In the past, it was not that no one had come up with other methods. For example, a man would directly cross the bridge with his beloved girl on his back, but it was the first time that a man walked on the road of two people while stepping on each other's boots. This is smart, it is smart, and it is attractive to look at, but if it is said to be intimate, it seems a little restrained.
The people under the bridge only felt that they didn't understand, but they didn't think deeply. They just thought that the young lady from Huzhou was not more open than Jiyang, and didn't like doing some overly intimate actions in public, so that's why.
But in the eyes of several colleagues, it is very different.
Chi Wu immediately took a deep breath, seeing He Yan's eyes as if he had sullied his master, and he only said angrily, "How can there be such a thing, this kid will take all the cheapness!"
Who is taking advantage of whom? He Yan on the bridge also wanted to cry without tears. The suspension bridge was extremely unstable. Every time Xiao Jue took a step, it swayed violently. His steps were already steady and his expression was calm. He Yan felt his heart beating fast. A piece of wood seemed to be a little unstable, one foot stepped on it, and the body slanted, almost falling.
He Yan was so frightened that he subconsciously stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his neck.
The distance is very close. As long as his lips are a little longer, they will touch the corners of He Yan's mouth. He Yan's eyes are up, and they are hitting the other side's long eyes like autumn water. At this moment, those eyes are deep and quiet, like The pool water, which could not be seen to the end, rippled through layers of ripples, the handsome young man pursed his thin lips tightly, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and seemed to want to say something for a moment, but after a moment, he turned his head slightly.
He Yan was extremely embarrassed.
She whispered, "Sorry."
Xiao Jue did not answer.
He Yan didn't dare to look at his face. He felt awkward in the atmosphere for some reason. He only hoped that the bridge would be over soon. Xiao Jue stabilized his pace and continued to walk forward. He Yan saw that the suspension bridge was about to come to an end, and his heart was overjoyed. He breathed a sigh of relief and secretly said, this is even more torturous than the daily training in the martial arts field.
When Xiao Jue came to the end of the bridge, He Yan couldn't wait to say, "It's here!" He wanted to take a step back and open the distance from Xiao Jue. Who knew that this suspension bridge had been in disrepair for a long time, and it was unstable. She stepped back like this, and the wooden board behind her suddenly turned out and stepped on the air.
Xiao Jue reprimanded in a low voice, "Be careful!"
He grabbed her and pulled her to her side. He Yan rushed forward with strength, only to feel that she was thrown into a warm embrace. She realized that she had stabilized her body and looked up. The other party seemed to be looking down as well, so something soft and light as a feather brushed her forehead, and she left in a split second.
She froze in place.
