Sun Huaijin was not ready to run away.
He is old and unable to move around, and most of his family business is in Qizhou. The old man worked hard all his life, and all he saw was singing and dancing, peace and prosperity for the country and the people. How could I have imagined that after being a hundred years old, I would see a turbulent and chaotic world.
Sun Huaijin dismissed the restless servants, leaving only the old servants who had been with him for most of his life. The Sun family has saved a lot of food and medicinal materials, which is enough for them to live longer. As for whether he will be attacked by rogue bandits or plundered by barbarians later, it is all destiny. As for the only regret - in the current national crisis, the younger generations of the Sun family divided their gold and silver wealth and ran faster than rabbits. Not even a single person is willing to stay here with this old man.
Sun Huaijin sat alone in the small courtyard, drinking cold tea bit by bit.
The emperor consecrated Na Luojiu to the Holy Spirit, and the barbarians were arranging their troops, planning to take over the government offices in various places along the way. According to the agreement, the divine descendant will arrive in Yidu in the near future to formally meet with Xu Jingxing, who is seriously ill. However, the whole country was in turmoil a few days ago, and Shen Sheng changed from his usual vigorous and resolute style and became particularly cautious.
The old man put down his teacup and sighed.
Recently, natural disasters have been rampant and wars have broken out. Perhaps the gods who protected Dayun have left. Thinking about his life's ups and downs and his life span of a hundred years, he should be...
"Master!" An old servant hurried over, his face turned pale. "There are people from the palace outside!"
Sun Huaijin suspected for a moment that there was something wrong with his ears. Qizhou seems to be deserted, and most of his family property has been taken away by his juniors. Why are the people from the court coming? He is just an old man waiting to die here, what is there to see him
"Did you tell me why you came?"
"Tell me about it... I told you, I also brought live geese, gold and silver, saying that I came to propose marriage."
Sun Huaijin suddenly realized. So it turns out that he must have accidentally fallen asleep and was dreaming. There are only a group of elderly men and women left here, and they shouldn't mention it here, let alone in the palace. Most of his relatives and juniors are unable to hold up the wall, and few of them have any fame.
Wait, has he heard from anyone about the marriage proposal
Sun Huaijin gradually broke out in a layer of sweat and almost knocked the tea cup over: "Help me up, help me up quickly!"
The old man shivered and changed his clothes. In the empty hall, he saw a pale-faced Xu Jingming, a beaming Shi Jingzhi, and his elder brother Su, whose eyes were a little wandering.
Sun Huaijin had a mouthful of thick phlegm in his throat, almost getting stuck on the spot. He looked at Rong Wang Xu Jingming in horror, and found a trace of kindness on the other person's face - the old man and the young man all frowned, and their faces were so crowded that they looked like they were jealous, and they almost wrote "bullshit" with a pen. A big character.
But Xu Jingming is here, and his attitude is still respectful. Does the Xu family want to return Shi Jingzhi to the royal family
Old man Sun had not heard of the rumors of rebellion a few days ago. Shi Jingzhi didn't look for him, so it was inconvenient for him to intervene. How come it didn’t take long before the wind direction changed again? The proposal of marriage at this time made it clear that when Shi Jingzhi married and entered the palace, he was a serious prince...
… But why did you come to Sun’s house to propose marriage? !
Sun Huaijin is very thoughtful and very good at reasoning about the current situation. Unfortunately, a series of unbelievable things happened. The old man shook on the spot several times, and his limbs and head were numb.
Seeing the fragmented and dazed look on the old man's face, Shi Jingzhi coughed. Yin Ci put away his wandering eyes and walked up to Sun Huaijin.
"Su Zhi" has never been particular about clothes and always dressed simply and casually. Even when he was the master of Chi Gou, Sun Huaijin didn't see him paying much attention to this matter. Others gave him complicated clothes and jade ornaments, but Su Zhi gave them away casually. He has a truly outstanding face, and even though he is wearing a coir raincoat and a quail jacket, he still has a unique demeanor.
However, this time he was clearly dressed carefully. Sun Huaijin could tell at a glance that the material was the finest material only found in the palace, and there was no trace of the decadence of ordinary clothes. The man's long hair that was usually disheveled was also neatly styled, except for the white jade hairband that looked a little old.
It can be seen that Yin Ci is not very used to dressing up, and his waist is a bit tight, which makes him look like an unsheathed sword. There were some generous gifts piled behind him, and judging from the gift list presented by the servants, it seemed that a lot of effort had been put into selecting the gifts this time.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Sun Huaijin's awe and vigilance were mixed together, and he turned into a frightened old bird: "Susususu... Little brother Yin, what's the matter?"
The old man lost his usual indifference and calmness, and his voice trembled.
Yin Ci was not much better. He always looked like he had everything in the world in his hands, but now he looked a little nervous.
"Huaijin, Jingzhi and I are also in love. Nowadays, the mountains and rivers are in turmoil, and time is precious. The first four of the six rites are combined this time. This time, we have set a date. I'll come... I'll ask for an appointment with ”
Sun Huaijin: “…”
Sun Huaijin: "...Brother Su?"
The words "Brother Su" were full of helplessness, and even Xu Jingming's face showed a bit of embarrassment - it was just that he was kicked by his own brother to do this hard work, it was like abusing the elderly.
Jiang was still old and spicy. Yin Ci was nervous for a moment, but he still gave up. He took a long breath and his tone became calmer: "I said, I am not playing with him on a whim."
Sun Huaijin wiped his face fiercely: "We, we are both men. If you really want to live together, just live together. There is turmoil everywhere now, why bother to make it so... so grand, it's just -"
Old Man Sun made a "nonsense" mouth gesture, but Yin Ci was in front, so the old man didn't say it out loud.
Proposing marriage in such a serious manner is no joke. It's not like Sun Huaijin has never seen a man become affectionate with a man. At best, these people live together in the name of relatives, at best they let the neighbors know about it, but they never dare to get married seriously.
Yin Ci: "He and I have been together for the rest of our lives, and everyone in the world knows about it. Why not?"
"A generation?"
Sun Huaijin's head was still buzzing, but after hearing this sentence, his frail appearance became lighter. The old man tried his best to hold up his eyelids, his eyes showed a sharp light, and there was a faint warning in his words.
"Jingzhi and I have known each other for a short time, and we can't be close to each other, but he is my closest relative. Brother Su, have you thought about what will happen in the future?"
"Well, we live in the same quilt and die in the same hole."
For Shi Jingzhi and himself, these words are not even a simple vow. Now they are connected by blood and literally live and die together.
Looking at the worried Sun Huaijin, Yin Ci couldn't help laughing. A hundred years have passed, and the Sun family is still the Sun family. Even at the end of his life, he was still worried about his blood relatives. His gaze crossed the old man's stooped back, traveled through time, and looked at another faint shadow.
Sun Huaijin was stunned for a moment, and her eyes gradually turned red. He didn't say anything, just moved his lips. A few turbid tears seeped into the wrinkles on his face, forming bright water stains.
"Congratulations, brother, for getting what you wanted." He whispered. "If you two are in love...and are happy with each other, I will naturally be happy."
Xu Jingxing was in a hurry to recruit two people to lead the army, and the people in the court were more agile than before. The next day, the eight-carriage sedan took to the streets of Qizhou.
At this time, most of the people in Qizhou had fled, and the streets were in a state of depression. The emperor surrendered, bandits were everywhere, and people did not dare to do anything serious. Nowadays, some people dare to beat gongs and drums in the street, which is also a strange sight. Hearing the joy, many people couldn't help but come out of their hiding places and watch carefully from the shadows.
This team is also strange. The sedan chair was obviously very beautiful and tight, and the ceremony team was even more gorgeous and a bit extravagant, but there was something wrong with the steps. Ordinary families would take their relatives back, but they felt like they were receiving or sending them off. The curtain of the sedan chair was blown open by the wind from time to time, and it was obviously empty. Sitting on the top of the sedan were two men in wedding clothes, looking extremely intimate.
Those who saw it shook their heads repeatedly - the country is about to perish, so ridiculous things are happening!
However, those two people were very good-looking. Even if they were full of anger and dissatisfaction, once they saw their faces clearly, the onlookers' desire to find fault faded away. If you have a bad temper, just pick up some silver beads and copper plates scattered on the street. Those who were happy to watch the fun actually started cheering now.
Above the sedan roof, there is a clear blue sky.
The wedding dress this time was made of very good material, the color was very positive, and it was as gorgeous as summer flowers. Shi Jingzhi blew the wind happily, one hand intertwined with Yin Ci's fingers.
"Don't get into the sedan?" Yin Ci said with a smile.
"If you don't come in, I want everyone in the world to see it." Shi Jingzhi squinted his eyes happily, "I have found the best match in the world, and I still think there are not many people coming to see me! If it hadn't been for that mess with Luo Jiu, We will definitely choose a busy day.”
After saying that, he tilted his head and kissed the side of Yin Ci's face. The latter did not dodge, but just shook his head helplessly.
Yin Ci: "Come a little further."
"how?"
"Master is so greedy, don't you think this gift is a bit tasteless? No matter how generous the gift is, it was prepared by the emperor and is not a gift from my disciple."
This sentence really struck a chord with Master Shi. He raised his eyebrows and looked away: "The situation is special. I am not prepared at all. If this matter delays too much time and causes the people on the border to suffer, I will not be able to live with it."
"I have an idea."
Shi Jingzhi perked up and got a little closer. Under the sunlight, those eyes were full of sparkling vitality.
Yin Ci stretched out his right hand and pressed Shi Jingzhi's lips with his thumb, and his fingertips touched the hard teeth.
"Bite me."
Yin Ci deliberately moved closer, and finally there was a bit of evil in his voice.
"I am no longer immortal, and I will also leave scars. This is the first scar I will bring into the coffin. I hope you give it to me."
Shi Jingzhi's pupils opened, and the smile on his face was a little distorted. He remained silent, his teeth slightly open.
"I knew you would like this idea." Yin Ci laughed, "Even if I go to the battlefield, I won't let those gangsters hurt me - this scar is my only scar. Come on, Respect."
Shi Jingzhi bit Yin Ci's thumb. He bit so deeply that the pale and flawless skin was torn open, and blood gushed out in an instant. Pain and warmth came together, but Yin Ci still had a smile on his face, without any pain at all. As the two of them expected, the wound did not heal immediately. Blood overflowed Shi Jingzhi's lower lip and trickled down Yin Ci's wrist.
Yin Ci slowly withdrew his hand, covered it with blood, and kissed it in full view of everyone. Both of their lips were stained with blood, showing a bit of color.
After the long kiss ended, Yin Ci casually licked the wound on his finger and glanced at the people sitting beside the sedan. The spectators forgot to pick up the coins and were stunned.
The eight-carriage sedan walked slowly and headed straight for the Sun family.
