During dinner at night, Hua Tang asked, "Why don't you see Master and Master Shang?"
"Going back to Tengyun Castle." Wen Liunian took a bite of steamed buns and replied.
"Did something happen?" Hua Tang was worried when she heard the words, "I haven't heard of it before, why did you just leave suddenly?"
"It's nothing." Wen Liunian took another bite of the steamed bun, "From Lord Shang's words, it seems that they are going back to prepare for their marriage."
"Get married?" The rest of the people at the table were startled.
"Yes." Wen Liunian stuffed the last bite of steamed buns into his mouth, feeling a little sad in his heart, "Get married."
"That should be well prepared." Zhao Wu said with a smile, "The bandits in the Cangmang Mountain have been cleared up, and the master of Shangbao and the master will have another marriage, and the joy will be even more joyful."
After eating in two or three bites, the dark guard rushed out to buy gifts, beaming with joy and eagerness, as if he was going to marry a daughter-in-law, and felt very empathetic.
Zhao Yue filled a small bowl of soup for Wen Liunian: "Eat slowly, don't get choked."
Wen Liunian broke the steamed buns into small pieces, threw them all into the soup, then stirred them with chopsticks, stirred them, and stirred them again.
Zhao Yue wondered what kind of weird way to eat this.
The steamed buns were soaked in the broth so soft that they were naturally not very tasty, so Master Wen felt even more depressed. After eating, he squatted in the yard alone to watch the ants, and no one wanted to talk to him.
Dinner is a steamed bun, and it can be done without a kiss!
"Little Liuzi." Zhou Dingtian came in cheerfully, "Look what godfather bought for you."
When Wen Liunian turned his head, he saw a bunch of bright red candied haws.
…
boring.
"Why, I don't want to eat." Zhou Dingtian squatted beside him.
Wen Liunian said sullenly, "I have no appetite."
"How can Hao Duanduan lose his appetite? Did that kid surnamed Zhao bully you?" Zhou Dingtian raised his beard.
"No." Wen Liunian denied, "I'm thinking about the case."
"As long as you are still an official, the case will never end. With such a sad face every day, you can't make it through." Zhou Dingtian pulled him to sit on the stone bench, and passed the candied haws. You go out for a stroll, the city is very lively now."
"En." Wen Liunian nodded, "Where's Mu Bai?"
"I went out to buy gifts with the people from Shadow Chasing Palace." Zhou Dingtian said, "By the way, I also prepared your share, and sent it directly to Tengyun Castle."
"Oh." Wen Liunian took a bite of the candied haws.
Getting married is a great thing.
It happened to be a night market, and there were a lot of people on the street. Wen Liunian was not very full for dinner, but after eating hawthorn as an appetizer, he smelled the aroma of the stall and became even hungrier, so he turned his head and looked around to see if there was anything tasty.
"My lord!" The dark guards waved their hands and greeted them in the distance. Each of them held two or three large boxes in their hands, tied with red silk and satin on them. It really seemed like a married couple.
After seeing this, the common people would naturally ask curiously. After going back and forth like this, within a short time, the whole market knew that Shangbao was mainly married to Mr. Mu.
Previously, there were Qin Shaoyu and Shen Qianling, the lords of Chasing Shadow Palace, and later there were Shen Qianfeng and Ye Jin, the lords of the martial arts alliance. The people of Chu State can easily accept such things, and even think that they are a good match! Wen Liunian has not eaten half a bowl of rice noodles, but the stall owner has already heard sentences like "a perfect match made in heaven" and "a match made in heaven" more than a dozen times.
"When will the adults get married?" The proprietress selling rice wine next to her joked with a smile.
Before Wen Liunian could speak, Zhou Dingtian said, "It's too early to say that."
…
It's getting late! Wen Liunian desperately added hot sauce to the bowl, the master was younger than me!
Zhou Dingtian frowned while watching, but he just went to Shuzhong to be an official, so how could his taste become so cruel.
In the government office, Zhao Yue didn't see Wen Liunian coming back for a long time after discussing things with Lu Zhui. He felt a little puzzled in his heart, why it took so long to go to a night market.
"Little Liuzi." Zhou Dingtian's voice came from outside.
Then Wen Liunian was listless and entered the courtyard with his head down.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yue asked.
"It's nothing." Wen Liunian brushed past him, and went back to the bedroom alone, a little listless.
Zhou Dingtian followed behind at a loss, and didn't understand why.
He was eating rice noodles well, but suddenly he became unhappy again, as if nothing happened.
The candlelight on the table flickered slightly, and Wen Liunian drank tea by himself.
"What happened?" Zhao Yue opened the door and came in, pulling a chair and sitting beside him.
"It's nothing." Wen Liunian said.
"Obviously there is." Zhao Yue hugged him into his arms, "Tell me well, what's wrong?"
Wen Liunian thought for a while and said, "Tired."
Since coming to Cangwu City, it seems that he hasn't had a good rest for a day at all, even if he falls asleep, he doesn't feel at ease. As time went on, there were more and more things to do, almost as busy as a spinning top, but with the Tiger Head Gang matters in my heart, I didn't dare to relax in the slightest. Now the banditry has finally been pacified, although there is still a Da Ming King who appeared out of nowhere and is still fascinated, but at least it has temporarily stopped, so the sleepiness accumulated in the past swept over.
Rather than saying that he wanted to get married, it was better to say that he wanted to go back to the south of the Yangtze River with him, put all the troubles behind him, stop thinking about all the troubles, and just be with the person he likes, holding hands and seeing all the flowers in June.
Zhao Yue hugged him even tighter: "Shall I take you to live in Chaomuya for a while?"
"No." Wen Liunian shook his head, "Master is going to get married soon, if I go to the mountains to hide and relax again, what will I do with the official duties in the government office?" What's more, there is Xiang Lie here, so how can I just say that I am missing? missing reason.
Zhao Yue sighed in his heart. Sometimes, he really wanted him to have no official position and no worries.
Wen Liunian leaned in his arms in a daze, fell asleep without knowing it, and didn't know what kind of dream he had, his fingers kept grabbing Zhao Yue's sleeve and refused to let go.
The red-armored wolf carried the green-headed Gu king on its back, squeezed in through the crack of the window, then climbed onto the table in a familiar way, and swished into the small hollow wooden box. The box was carved by Lu Zhui according to the size of the red-armored wolf. , it is just enough to install it alone, but if you add a chubby green-headed Gu King, it will look a lot crowded. Fortunately, Gu King just raised his eyelids, then slowly closed them again, as if he didn't care about being forced to move.
The red-armored wolf shook his whiskers happily.
Let's sleep together!
If it is seen by the dark guard, it will probably take a long time to sigh.
It doesn't matter if you can't compare with Lord Shangbao, but you can't even compare with the red armored wolf.
How can it be spread out.
After several days of searching in the mountains, no one has found any traces of the so-called "Qian Mancang". If it weren't for the fact that the dozens of young people who were present that day were categorical and swear that they had witnessed it with their own eyes, and the confessions were surprisingly consistent, Xiang Lie would have doubted himself. Was he deceived—what kind of ability did the other party have, that he was able to slip away quietly under the blockade of tens of thousands of troops
"What is Commander Xiang going to do next?" Wen Liunian poured him a cup of tea.
"If you really can't find it, you have to let it go." Xiang Lie said, "There is no need to let the army consume any more."
Wen Liunian nodded, and said: "According to the confessions of the others, it seems that Qian Mancang has a deep grudge with the head of the Tiger Head Gang, otherwise he would not have taken the risk to sneak into Cangwu Mountain and fall into his hands, which may be the same as falling into the hands of the court." Consequences." The implication may be that the traitor has already died, and you don't have to worry about it anymore.
"It stands to reason that after this bandit suppression, my lord should follow me back to the king's city to face the saint." Xiang Lie said, "It's just that since Lord Shang and Mr. Mu are going to get married, it's natural that we should stay for a glass of wedding wine, anyway. It has been delayed for so many days, so there is no rush for this moment."
Wen Liunian said: "Does Commander Shang also want to stay for the wedding?"
"I'm afraid I can't, but the congratulatory gifts will definitely be ready." Xiang Lie said, "There are still some things on the governor's side. I will leave for his mansion this afternoon. When everything is settled, I will come back and set off with my lord." Go north."
Wen Liunian nodded and didn't say much.
Later, as expected, Xiang Lie led his people away from the magistrate's yamen, and the army also returned to the station in batches. The vast city was suddenly vacant, and Wen Liunian was also relieved.
Although Xiang Lie's character is not bad, he is still the emperor's man anyway, and he always feels uncomfortable when he is by his side all the time.
"With this look, how will you be an official in the court in the future?" Zhao Yue squeezed his face, "Now it's just a Commander Xiang, and the court is full of exquisite old fritters."
"Different places naturally have different appearances." Wen Liunian said, "The Cangmang City should be like this. The folk customs are simple, the sky is high and the land is vast, and it is different from the royal city. When I am really transferred to the emperor's side, I will naturally know what to do." Take your measure."
"My lord." Huatang came in with a stack of red paper, "This is the process of the wedding in five days, and the time is not too loose. We have a lot of things to prepare."
After Wen Liunian opened it, he was immediately stunned by the densely packed small characters: "How troublesome is it to be married?" He also thought it meant the horoscope for a matchmaker's engagement, and then picked an auspicious day to welcome him in while blowing the suona.
"Marriage is only once in a lifetime, and Lord Shang is cautious, so naturally he should be more serious." Hua Tang said, "It's good to read it now, and when adults get married in the future, they will be more familiar with these."
That's right... Wen Liunian scratched his chin, looking down one item at a time.
But in Tengyun Fort, the scene is even more chaotic at this time - the main thing in the fort is to get married, this is a big thing, and it must not be sloppy. Mu Qingshan originally wanted to go out to have a look, but was persuaded to come back three times, saying that the mountain was in chaos recently, so he had to stay in the study and read books in boredom.
Shang Yunze pushed the door open and came in, holding a plate of Yunpian Cake in his hand.
Mu Qingshan yawned, looking at him drowsily.
"You haven't even eaten dinner yet, and you're already sleepy?" Shang Yunze hugged him into his arms.
"Nothing to do." Mu Qingshan asked sullenly, "When do you plan to let me go down the mountain?"
"The day before getting married." Shang Yunze fed him a snack.
"Why?" Mu Qingshan felt that he had been sitting for too long recently, and even his butt began to hurt.
"We're going to get married, so naturally there can't be any more trouble." Shang Yunze said, "Bringing you by my side will make you feel at ease, so as not to be snatched away."
"Who will rob me." Mu Qingshan muttered.
"Bored alone?" Shang Yunze asked.
Mu Qingshan nodded.
"After getting married, we will live on the mountain for a few days, and then we will move to Cangwu City." Shang Yunze said, "But it is estimated that we won't be able to stay for long, and we will be able to go north to Wangcheng together with Lord Wen."
"En." Mu Qingshan put his arms around his neck and yawned again.
"Are you nervous?" Shang Yunze asked.
Mu Qingshan said honestly: "A little bit."
"We're married, it's still the same as we are now." Shang Yunze let him lean into his arms, "So don't be afraid."
Mu Qingshan said: "Is everything the same?"
Shang Yunze nodded: "Everything is the same."
Mu Qingshan emphasized: "Don't go back on what you said."
Shang Yunze thought for a while, "Except for that matter."
Mu Qingshan lay on his shoulder and pretended to be dead.
But Shang Yunze obviously didn't intend to compromise on this matter, God knows how long he has been waiting, if he continues to endure, he might get sick if he is not sick.
Teng Yunbao can be regarded as famous in the Jianghu, and Shang Yunze is usually very popular, and this time he is going to get married, naturally there will be many people who come to congratulate him—even if the time is really rushed, there are still many people who come sect.
Wen Liunian said: "The Chinese New Year is not so lively."
"They are all people in the rivers and lakes. They speak loudly and act boldly. Naturally, they are more troublesome than ordinary people." Zhao Yue rode a horse with him and left the city gate together. There is nothing to do in the government office today, so the two plan to spend the night in the water stream of Cangmang Mountain, and hide for leisure. Although the married person is Shang Yunze, due to the presence of the shadow chaser palace guards, the level of turmoil in the government office is no worse than that of Tengyunbao - even the style of the wedding cakes has to be taken care of, and the superiors must print lotus flowers with double stalks .
As the mascot of Jianghu, one has to devote himself to doing so without expecting anything in return.
It did not embarrass the Young Master and the Young Palace Master at all.
Everything around the water stream remains unchanged, Zhao Yue said: "Wait for me here, I'll help you catch fish."
"I want to catch it too." Wen Liunian said.
Zhao Yue scratched his nose: "Aren't you afraid of falling into the river?"
"Just grab me again." Wen Liunian took off his shoes, and carefully rolled up his trouser legs.
The mountain stream in midsummer was not too cold, so Zhao Yue didn't stop him, took his hand and went down the river together, and found a place where the water flow was calmer: "Stand still."
"Hmm." Wen Liunian asked, "How to catch fish?"
Zhao Yue said: "Grab it with your hands."
Wen Liunian: ...
You can be a little more perfunctory.
"It is indeed caught by hand." Zhao Yue smiled, bent down and fished casually, and really caught a white fish.
Wen Liu Nian slightly worshiped.
"There are a lot of fish in this area, you stand still, a group will come around later." Zhao Yue casually threw the white fish ashore, "Be careful not to fall."
It was the first time in his life to catch fish, Wen Liunian followed his example and bent down slowly.
Zhao Yue smiled: "If anyone doesn't know, they will probably think that your back hurts."
"Sliding under the water." Wen Liunian said.
Just as Zhao Yue was about to hold him back, a huge white fish had already passed between the two of them, and the wet and sticky touch brushed against his calf. Wen Liunian instinctively shivered, took two steps back, and sat down on his buttocks. into the water.
"Be careful!" Zhao Yue was taken aback and hurriedly scooped him up.
"Ah Choo!" Wen Liunian was covered in water, wrinkling his nose and sneezing.
Zhao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly carried him back to the fire in the cave, and found a long branch to come in: "Quickly dry your clothes." Otherwise, he would catch cold again.
Wen Liunian trembled, feeling that he was very unlucky.
The clothes were hung on the branches one by one, and finally there was only a set of wet underwear left. Zhao Yue took off his outer robe: "Let's put it on for now."
Wen Liunian said, "Oh."
Zhao Yue lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the fire.
After a while, Wen Liunian put his coat on the branch, and moved towards the fire again.
"Be careful of being burned." Zhao Yue pulled him back.
Wen Liunian said innocently, "It's cold."
"Go to bed." Zhao Yue said, because of the anti-dust beads, even if there is water flow near the cave, the bedding is very dry and warm.
Wen Liunian said, "I don't want to go."
Zhao Yue's subordinates gave a slight pause.
Wen Liunian sneezed quietly again.
Zhao Yue dropped the wooden stick and hugged him in his arms.
Originally, she was only wrapped in a robe, but this time it slipped most of it. Wen Liunian stretched out his hand and wanted to pull it, but his lips were blocked by him.
The tongues were eagerly intertwined, and his rationality gradually went blank. Wen Liunian put his arms around his shoulders, and his breathing became rapid unconsciously.
The dry firewood continued to make crackling sounds, the fire burned more and more vigorously, and the temperature in the cave became hotter and hotter.
The outer robe was thrown aside indiscriminately, and under the firelight, his fair body seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of ambiguous gold. Zhao Yue was fascinated, held his fingertips, and gently lowered his head and took a bite.
Wen Liunian looked at him without blinking.
Zhao Yue picked him up horizontally and strode towards the bed deep in the cave.
A mahogany box fell out of his arms, and the red-armored wolf was thrown into a daze, and it took a long time to recover, so it was very angry with its tentacles.
What are you doing...
