Chi Yan carried Zheng Bo around the mountain on his back, gradually losing his physical strength, but there was still a lush forest in front of him, and he couldn't see any people.
The breath of the old man behind him became weaker and weaker. Chi Yan put Uncle Zheng on a large stone and checked it carefully, only to see that the old man had a blue-grey deathly aura all over his body.
He was deeply saddened, looked at the distant future where there was no hope, looked at the sun that was already in the west, and looked back at the way he had come... In the end, he gritted his teeth, put Zheng Bo on his back, and hurried back to the original road. went back.
It's not a marriage, he promises it! Nothing is more important than Zheng Bo's life!
He was educated since childhood, saying that marriage is the word of his parents' matchmaking, and he can't make his own decisions. However, his mother passed away early, and his father had not heard of him for more than 20 years, and Chi Yan had already been chilled. For him, Uncle Zheng is the closest relative, he must not just watch Uncle Zheng die like this.
Strange to say, it was a long journey, but when he went back, he was very relaxed. When the sun was setting, he had already stood at the door of the mansion again.
In the twilight of the sun, the huge Washington Mansion seemed to be quite cold and desolate, but Chi Yan didn't care about it at this time. As soon as the door opened, he couldn't wait to say to the older woman who opened the door: "I agree to the marriage, please save Uncle Zheng!"
When the two women heard him say this, they didn't show any extra expressions, as if they had expected such a result, but there was a faint trace of intolerance and compassion that Chi Yan couldn't understand in their black eyes.
Chi Yan couldn't think of more, but felt that the owner of this house was obviously of extraordinary status and had different powers, so he could live in a mansion of this size. The so-called "the emperor's daughter does not worry about getting married", then such people say that marriage should not be too difficult. Therefore, all Chi Yan could think of was that either the daughter of the family was more beautiful, or she wanted to talk about the congenital defect of the girl, so she used this method to force him to agree to the marriage.
Chi Yan has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood. For more than 20 years, he has never had a clue about the relationship between a man and a woman, and he has never liked anyone. After agreeing to this marriage, he was relieved. He thought to himself that he had agreed to this marriage in order to save Uncle Zheng. Although there were factors that threatened the other party with their lives, it was always he who agreed. His future wife was also Uncle Zheng's savior, so no matter who the other party was. What it looks like, as long as he becomes a relative, the other party is the wife he is marrying, and he will love her forever and never give up.
After he agreed, he didn't see the two women calling anyone again, but two teams of soap-clothed attendants suddenly appeared in the mansion that had been empty for many days. There were six of them in total, carrying a soft gauze sedan in the air and walking towards the door very quickly. He didn't raise his head after approaching, but kept hunched over, only helped Uncle Zheng onto the soft sedan chair, then turned around and walked into the mansion.
Chi Yan quickly followed, but no matter how fast he walked, he couldn't keep up with the six people who were carrying the soft sedan chair. Chi Yan watched them lead Uncle Zheng into a courtyard he had never been to, and just as he was about to follow, the younger woman stopped him: "Since the son has already agreed to the marriage, the old man will naturally be safe. The son can wait by the side, but he must not come into the yard to watch, otherwise, if something goes wrong, the maid will not be able to afford it. When the old man is all right, the maid will naturally tell the son. "
Chi Yan had no choice but to stop angrily, and followed the girl into the room in the next yard to wait. This family has a lot of weird rules. It is obviously a family of powerful people, but there are strange things everywhere. It is not the first time he has seen it.
Fortunately, he didn't wait too long, but after a stick of incense, the older woman came over and told him that Uncle Zheng was fine and could go over to watch.
Chi Yan followed into the house where Uncle Zheng was, and felt that there was nothing special about the yard. He didn't understand why he was not allowed to come in before. Could it be that the doctor had some quirk and didn't want to be seen by others to treat his illness. In any case, Chi Yan sat by the bed and looked at the rosy face of the old man beside him, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Since Chi Yan agreed to the marriage, the government's attitude towards him and the care in all aspects have changed. The girl stayed here to take care of Chi Yan and Uncle Zheng's daily necessities, and three meals a day were served by the older woman with extremely delicate and delicious dishes. Chi Yan's background was not bad, but the level of luxury in this mansion's dishes was something he had never seen before.
After all, Uncle Zheng lived a lot of years, and he was not an ordinary farmer. After he woke up, he soon realized that something was wrong. He asked Chi Yan, but Chi Yan didn't say it at first, but later thought that this matter could not be concealed from Uncle Zheng no matter what, so he evaded and told Uncle Zheng lightly that he had agreed to marry this mansion.
Although Chi Yan didn't say it clearly, the old man only needed to think about it for a while and figured out the key points. He understood that the young master agreed to this marriage in order to save himself. He immediately cried out in pain that he was sorry that the madam had hurt the young master. I really plan to hang myself when no one is around. From Uncle Zheng's point of view, the young master would agree to this marriage just for him, and although this family is rich and powerful, but using this method to coerce people into agreeing, what kind of marriage could be a good marriage for someone who has never seen the master show up? Marriage is a major event in life. He would rather die than burden his young master. He believes that as long as he is dead, the young master owes the family nothing and has nothing to worry about, and this marriage will naturally be abolished.
Fortunately, Chi Yan found out in time and rescued the old man.
But Chi Yan became anxious. Uncle Zheng had been raised for five days, and he was almost better, even healthier than before. He just wanted to get married as soon as possible, and cooked rice with raw rice. First, he wanted to cut off Zheng Bo's strange thoughts, so that the old man would not think about it one day. Second, he wanted to go to Beijing to take the exam. Although this place is not far from the capital, after all For some distance, after he went to Beijing, he still had to rent a house to prepare for exams, and visit his teachers and friends for advice. If he thought about it, there was no time to delay. If he stayed here for a month at most, he had to go on the road.
The mansion was huge and empty, and Chi Yan couldn't see the steward or the owner of the mansion, so he could only tell the older woman what he meant and ask her to convey it on her behalf, and said that if the wedding date was too tight, within a month It is impossible to get married in a hurry, and he can wait for him to obtain the title. Since he has already agreed, he will never break the contract.
One day later, the older woman brought a reply, indicating that ten days later would be a good day to get married.
Although Chi Yan felt that the time was a little tight, he did not shirk any longer, lest the other party think that he was deliberately trying to delay the marriage. The owner of this house also brought a message. Going out is no better than staying at home. Everything is simple and simple, and the bride price and the like can be avoided. On the one hand, Chi Yan felt that the owner of the family was being considerate at this time. But he still took off the jade pendant he was wearing and gave it to the owner of the house as a dowry gift.
That piece of jade pendant was left by his mother, and the quality and quality are very good.
Chi Yan also proposed to see the owner of the house before marriage, but the two women refused on the grounds that her master was sick and unsuitable to see guests; Chi Yan also secretly asked people he could see He inquired about the family's identity and the bride's information, but the other servants seemed to be deaf and dumb, only doing their own work and turning a deaf ear to his words. The two women also flickered, saying that their masters were extremely honorable , not to be arrogant, but the rest are silent.
The customs in this mansion are different from Chi Yan's hometown. It is not necessary to go out early in the morning in time for dawn. Instead, after sunset, the bride and groom will be married in the auditorium. Chi Yan thought to himself that it was simple, and asked the two women who would come at the wedding, and how many guests would come.
The young woman looked at him, lowered her eyes and said, "The master said that everything is simple, and there are not many guests here. The son needs to work a lot at night, and the master instructed him that he was afraid that the son could not bear it at night, and asked the son to rest well during the day. The spirit is that everything is arranged by him.”
Chi Yan thought the same, the location of this mansion is so secluded, and the wedding date is so tight, I am afraid that after the invitations are delivered, the guests will not be able to leave in time, and it is not surprising that few people come.
In this way, everything was ready soon, and it was time for the wedding day.
Chi Yan was not polite. She slept in the bedroom for a whole day during the day and woke up in the afternoon to wash and change clothes and put on the new groom's robe.
The sky gradually darkened, and two teams of bearers waited outside the door for some time, carrying a big red sedan chair and waiting for him to go up.
Chi Yan frowned and complained to the two women, "Where is the saying that the bridegroom sits in a sedan chair, you should lead me a horse."
The older woman glanced at him and said lightly, "This is because the master is sympathetic to the son's hard work, so the son should get on the sedan chair."
Chi Yan sat on the sedan chair without so much scruples, rolled up the sedan chair and looked out, and found that the owner here obviously still attaches great importance to this marriage. Silk lamp. There are many black figures in the mansion busy coming and going, obviously all of them are servants preparing for the wedding, which is completely different from the quiet and lonely scene in the past. So many people live there.
He was surrounded and walked forward. Under the dim yellow lights, he could see a lot of people coming to the wedding banquet. Everyone was beaming, and no one dared not show a smile. The whole wedding hall was also luxuriously furnished. Elegant, it can be seen that the owner has spent a lot of thought. The people around were talking auspicious words of Daoxi, and it seemed to be lively, but Chi Yan couldn't see clearly and couldn't remember the faces of the people at the wedding banquet. I just thought that they all looked like dark shadows. .
He shook his head, secretly thinking that he had slept too much today.
He stood in front of the wedding hall and finally saw his bride for the first time. His bride was extremely tall, a head taller than him, and she was also slender and tall, looking full of strength, not as delicate as an ordinary woman. The bride has a red hijab on her head, but she wears a red wedding gown similar to his, not a woman's skirt.
Chi Yan was a little surprised. He had already guessed that his wife must have something different from ordinary people to get married, but he didn't expect it to be like this. But at the moment, he couldn't allow him to say anything or refuse, and this situation was much better than the worst case he expected-to marry a wife and marry a virtuous woman, his wife was just taller than an ordinary woman, and it was not a big deal.
Chi Yan and the bride worshipped heaven and earth under the auspices of the master of ceremonies. The bride was sent down by the maid, and Chi Yan was left outside to serve the toasts. After a round of drinking, they were brought back to the new room.
Chi Yan was already dizzy and dizzy, and vaguely felt that something important was wrong, so he asked the maid who led the way, "Why didn't you see your master and wife?"
In his consciousness, the old man was usually sick and didn't want to see guests. Why didn't his daughter show up on the day of the wedding.
The maid's face was a little pale in the light of the night lights. She raised her face and smiled at Chi Yanyingying, and said, "The bride is my master. After marriage, the son will be my wife."
Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, and the two maids had already opened the door of the new room with a smile and pushed him in. Chi Yan subconsciously pushed the door, but couldn't, as if the door was locked from the outside.
He subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. Looking back, I saw the bride wearing a wedding gown sitting on the mandarin duck bed waiting for him, the red gauze hanging down, adding a bit of hazy. On the small table in the center of the room, the candlelight of the dragon and phoenix candles flickered gently, but the room seemed a little gloomy.
Chi Yan hesitated for a while, but finally turned around and walked towards the bride boldly. No matter what the situation, his bride is always the key.
Chi Yan walked closer and lifted the bride's hijab tremblingly. Unexpectedly, the bride was not ugly. Instead, she had an intriguing nobility and beauty, but her face was a little pale, and she looked like she had been frail and sick all the time. generally. He was just like those noble sons in the last imperial court of the previous dynasty, his body was full of grace and extravagance, and his demeanor was even more extraordinary.
Only one thing, the bride is a man.
To be honest, after imagining all kinds of bad situations, Chi Yan even breathed a sigh of relief that the bride was a man, which was much better than he had just imagined. What's more, people are always attracted by good skins. This person is a dragon and a phoenix regardless of his appearance and temperament. When Chi Yan saw it, he felt good in his heart, and remembered that he had met this person before, and he went out to find it Uncle Zheng lost his way, it was the way this man showed him.
He remembered what the maid just said, hesitantly asked, "You are the master here? You... why do you want to marry me?"
The man stretched out a hand and pulled him to sit beside him, and asked softly, "Are you cold?"
His hands were very cold, like jade soaked in the cold wind in the cold winter, Chi Yan shook his head, and the man embraced him unscrupulously in his arms, spitting cool air in his ear: "I marry you. , of course because I like you. I've wanted you since the first time I saw you."
His voice was low, like words of love whispered in his ear. Chi Yan had never heard such blatant words since he was a child, and his ears couldn't help but turn red.
The man watched as his eyes deepened, and his hands began to move down from Chi Yan's shoulders, hugging him from back to front, and unbuttoning his wedding robe.
It was only at this time that Chi Yan reacted a little. For a while, he thought that they were getting married today, and that it was the marriage he had promised. It was the right thing to do. For a while, he felt that there were still thousands of doubts in his heart. But I couldn't remember what to ask.
Finally, he boldly stretched out his hand and held the man's hand, raised his face and asked timidly, "I don't know your name yet..." On the wedding night, he didn't know the bride's name, so it was a joke to tell others. .
The man smiled lightly at him and replied, "My name is Ye Yingzhi. I know you don't want to marry, so externally, I married you, but in private, you want to call me husband."
The man's aura was extraordinary, and Chi Yan didn't have the slightest idea of resisting, so he lowered his head under the pressure of the other party's sight and called out "husband" shyly. He raised his eyes again and saw the man whispering "Yellow".
Before the third sentence could be spoken, Ye Yingzhi's chin was already crushed between the beds...
This night, the hibiscus tent was warm, Chi Yan had no experience, and was hazy due to the smell of alcohol. Basically, everything was at the mercy of Ye Yingzhi, only struggling a little occasionally, and finally a man pulled off a piece of red silk and tied it. His wrists were tied to the bedpost, and he was completely toyed with by the other party.
But he didn't delve into this way, and he didn't like to inquire about other people's private affairs. Naturally, he didn't know what other couples were like when they got married. He also felt that although Ye Yingzhi married him, he was also a man. The two of them must get along with others. The husband and wife are different, so I don't think Ye Yingzhi is doing something wrong. Instead, everything follows each other's wishes. The only thing I worry about is that Ye Yingzhi is not in good health.
Ye Yingzhi is the master of this mansion, and there is no one else. After Chi Yan married him, he naturally became the master of the mansion, and it was obvious that Ye Yingzhi was very fond of him, so no one in the manor dared to disobey his orders. Uncle Zheng was also supported by Haosheng.
Because of his father, Chi Yan had an indifferent view of his heirs since he was a child, and he did not insist that he must have his own blood, and he had not been moved by others, so although common sense generally said that he should marry a woman, he did not insist on having his own blood. I have no dissatisfaction with myself as an outstanding man and wife. No one in the manor could restrain them, and there were no rules, so the two of them stayed together for two or three days after the marriage, and they were newly married every day.
After a few days, Chi Yan also found that the mansion was indeed sparsely populated, and only Ye Yingzhi was the only one who could be called the master, and there were not many other people serving him.
During the day, he hugged Chi Yan to read together, and at night he hugged him to the fullest of love and affection. Sometimes he would take him around the mansion, or take him to see his collection, and let him pick the one he likes and bring it back to the house. Go to put it, the connivance and love in the bones can hardly be concealed. If Chi Yan wants something, it will definitely appear in front of him when he wakes up the next day.
No one had ever treated him so well before. Although Uncle Zheng was loyal, the old man's loyalty and love to him were completely different from Ye Yingzhi's love for him. Chi Yan quickly fell into it unconsciously, almost forgetting the strangeness and doubts in this mansion.
It's just that Chi Yan also has things that he is not allowed to do, Ye Yingzhi hugged him more than once and said, "Baby, this mansion is your home, you can do whatever you want, if you want to warm up your books, go to my study. No one will dare to disturb you here. But there is one place you can’t go. The innermost courtyard in the backyard is the ancestral hall, where the tablets of the deceased are enshrined, and you must never go in.”
Chi Yan has not been afraid of him these days, but instead hugged him and asked with a deliberate smile, "What if I go in?"
The man raised his hand and gently touched his lover's cheek, hooked his lips, and said in a soft joke, "Then the husband can only punish you severely."
The smile on his face was undiminished, but his dark eyes were bottomless, but Chi Yan didn't notice this, he raised his head with a smile and kissed the man.
Chi Yan is not afraid of Ye Yingzhi, nor is he afraid of his punishment. He read books during the day, and when he was tired, he wandered around the mansion at will, and gradually familiarized the whole mansion, except for the last courtyard.
It was nothing at first, but as time went on, he became more and more curious—Ye Yingzhi’s surname is Ye, and now his national surname is Ye. What is his identity, what is his origin, and why does he live here if he is a relative of the royal family? Among the mountains in Washington? What's in the backyard? He and Ye Yingzhi are already married, and they have worshipped the world in a serious manner. If it is an ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors, why didn't Ye Yingzhi take him to worship? Do you want him to know who his ancestors are
He asked Ye Yingzhi these questions in a side-by-side manner, but Ye Yingzhi always avoided talking; he wanted to inquire about one or two from the servants around him, but the two women hesitated to say, the other servants Occasionally I can only bump into one or two, but they are all dumbfounded, and he won't answer anything he asks.
Chi Yan didn't have much expectations for this marriage at first. He just thought that no matter what his wife was like, he should be respectful and friendly to each other, respect each other like a guest, and fulfill his responsibilities. He didn't expect that his lover was not a woman, but he was very pleasant. . He has never had any romantic affairs with anyone for more than 20 years since he was born, and naturally he has never enjoyed such a love of fish and water. Therefore, after the wedding, Ye Yingzhi and Ye Yingzhi are really like glue. The other party took half a step, so that Ye Yingzhi couldn't do anything else.
He originally planned to go to Beijing to take the exam in a few days after his wedding, but now he is reluctant to leave. It was because he didn't even want to review the book, he just wanted to linger with Ye Yingzhi all day long.
But Ye Yingzhi told him that he had to deal with some things, and he had to leave the house for a while, but it wasn't long, he would be back in a day or two, and he could catch him out when he came back.
The remaining time to get together is already short, and the other party has to leave. Chi Yan is naturally unwilling in his heart, but there is no way. Ye Yingzhi obviously has his own career, so he can't force the other party to stay at home with him these days. , so he nodded glumly and agreed.
Ye Yingyi left, he had nothing else to do in the mansion except Wen Shu, and his life was even more boring. Usually when Ye Yingzhi was there, after he got tired of reading, Ye Yingzhi would take him out for a walk. Sometimes when he returned to the room, he would let him steal some incense and ask for two kisses. If he hooked Ye Yingzhi. I couldn't help it, and the two of them would love each other regardless of time. In comparison, the two felt more and more idle. Although this mansion is big, he has also turned around in the past two days, and it is boring to go anywhere.
Chi Yan suddenly remembered the backyard that Ye Yingzhi didn't let him go to, and felt itchy in his heart. He wanted to find out who the ancestor of the Ye family was. This thought lingered in his heart and became stronger and stronger. Anyway, he didn't believe how Ye Yingzhi would really punish him. Driven by this thought, his people had already left the yard and suddenly turned back - Yingzhi had already told him not to go, so as not to disturb the deceased, if he really wanted to go to worship, wait for Yingzhi to come back. It is not impossible to go together.
Thinking like this, Chi Yan turned back and sat in the study to continue reading.
Ye Yingzhi said that he would come back in a day or two, but it turned out that he had been gone for less than a day, so Chi Yan felt that he couldn't miss it, and he couldn't sleep at night, and was looking forward to Ye Yingzhi's sudden return at night. But Ye Yingzhi didn't come back after waiting for him all night. He was dazed and gradually fell asleep.
The next day was the same as yesterday, except that Chi Yan couldn't read the book more and more, and was always looking forward to Ye Yingzhi's return. In the end, he simply put the book away, walked to the door and wandered, staring at the water in the lake, but his ears were always paying attention to the movement outside the door, eager to hear the news of the man's return.
The artificial lake in the Ye family's house is not small, but it doesn't have lotus flowers or koi like other people in it. Chi Yan was boring to see, and couldn't hear the sound he wanted to hear for a long time, and his mind gradually drifted to the backyard that he had never been to.
What is Yingzhi going to do? What is his family doing? He didn't know anything about these situations, and even if Ye Yingzhi encountered danger or difficulty outside, he probably didn't know it and couldn't help him much. He and Ye Yingzhi are already married, so he should take a look in the backyard and pay homage to his ancestors, right? And Ye Yingzhi didn't come back for a long time. He was really worried about what trouble Ye Yingzhi encountered outside. It would be better to know the background of the Ye family than to be smeared and not even know what his lover did. .
Chi Yan gradually made up her mind, turned and walked towards the backyard.
At this time, the sun has been sloping west, and only a little afterglow is left to illuminate the earth, but it has long lost the splendid vitality of the morning and the enthusiasm of the noon, and it will give people a sense of lifeless depression.
Chi Yan walked to the door of the backyard, and the setting sun dragged a long shadow behind him. The scarlet door in the backyard was tightly closed, but not locked. He stretched out his hand and pushed it, and the door opened with a creak, like the vague moan of a dying person.
There are obviously few people in this yard. The air smells of coldness, but it is cleaned very well. There are two red paper lanterns hanging on the eaves, but the lanterns are not lit; there are two stone beasts squatting in the yard , guarding the tranquility of the other side.
Chi Yan was a little hesitant when he came here. The sky in the distance darkened little by little, revealing a little indigo-like ash. He turned his head to look at the way he came from, and finally stepped on the bluestone steps and pushed it away. The door of the shrine.
The sky was completely dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun had been completely swallowed up by the distant mountains. There is no lamp or wax in the ancestral hall. It is dark and empty. There is only a black tablet on the offering table, with a few golden characters on it:
"The Spirit of Ye's Welcome".
Suddenly, there was a sound of thunder in the sky, and lightning exploded above the sky. The bright white electric light instantly illuminated the scene in the ancestral hall, and also illuminated the words on the tablet—
This is clearly a mourning hall!
Chi Yan jumped in horror, and he couldn't say why he was afraid, whether it was because of this strange mourning hall, because of the name on the tablet, or because of the vague premonition in his heart.
He stumbled back, suddenly turned around with a sense of feeling, and saw a familiar figure standing behind him, a black robe and a jade crown, pale complexion, looking at him calmly, a pair of black eyes that were bottomless.
Chi Yan subconsciously looked at his feet, as if suddenly awakened, and for the first time found that there was no shadow under the other's feet.
He shook his lips and couldn't speak, but Ye Yingzhi took a step forward, reached out and wiped his bloodless lower lip, and sighed softly, "Didn't I tell you not to come here? Why don't you obey."
Chi Yan shook his head, his eyes filled with physiological tears from excessive fright. He stepped back step by step, as if he wanted to escape, but was finally forced by the other party to the table.
The man smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and put aside the tablet with his name on it, and pressed the back of Chi Yan's head with one hand, pressing him down and kissing him irresistibly...
…
Chi Yan didn't know how he got back to the bedroom later, he only remembered that he wanted to run, but the man grabbed his wrist and dragged him back. Terrifying strength that is not like a human... In the end, he closed his eyes and whimpered, letting the cold ghost demand inexhaustibly...
When he woke up, he was already asleep in his new bedroom. The room was very warm, and the bed was as soft and comfortable as ever, but as long as he thought about the true identity of his newlywed partner, he couldn't help shrinking under the quilt and trembling.
Zibuyu is eccentric. He has read poetry and books for more than 20 years, and now he is in such a situation, and he does not know how to get rid of it.
He was frightened and bullied like that again, so it was no surprise that he started a fever. There were several charcoal stoves burning in the house, and he was wrapped in a dry warm and thick quilt, but he still felt cold in his hands and feet.
Ye Yingzhi asked Zheng Bo to serve him. Chi Yan watched the old servant trying his best to take care of him with soup and medicine. His lips trembled a few times, but he finally swallowed the truth.
Such a powerful underworld thing, even if you tell the old servant, there is no way to solve it, maybe it will affect Uncle Zheng instead.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chi Yan finally said: "Uncle Zheng, pack your things and get ready to go. It's too late."
"But young master, you are still ill..." Uncle Zheng hesitated, obviously disapproving.
"It's too late." Chi Yan insisted, "We'll leave early tomorrow morning."
Ye Yingzhi never showed up during the day, and Chi Yan stayed uneasily until the night, when all of a sudden the candles in the house flickered twice, a gust of cold wind hit, the door was pushed open with a squeak, and the man left came in.
He took off his shoes and socks as usual, got into the quilt and hugged Chi Yan. Chi Yan didn't dare to move, didn't dare to resist, didn't even dare to make a sound, so he bit the quilt with his back behind his back, closed his eyes and forced himself to endure it, letting the opponent do what he did.
After a long time, Ye Yingzhi was a little satisfied, her icy body was close to him and kissed him closely on the back of his neck, and then she pulled Chi Yan's wrist in dissatisfaction, forcing him to turn around, pulling down the sheet from his mouth, pressing him on the front. He kisses lingeringly and demands endlessly...
Chi Yan could hardly rest that night, and by the end he had no strength at all, and the burn on his body subsided at some point. Ye Yingzhi took his hand and fastened him with the silver chain, but instead of locking him, he prepared the luggage, gold and silver, and personally took him and Uncle Zheng out of the door.
He clearly has no shadow, but he can walk in broad daylight. What's more important is that Zheng Bo clearly saw it, but he was as unaware of this as he was at first, and he didn't notice the strangeness of Ye Yingzhi and the mansion at all. place, as if fascinated.
Even if he is ignorant, Chi Yan vaguely understands that Ye Yingzhi is definitely not that kind of ordinary ghost.
This time, perhaps because Ye Yingzhi personally sent them out, a small road led straight down the mountain, and there was no fork in the middle. Chi Yan and Zheng Bo returned to the official road smoothly.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was scorching hot. Chi Yan raised his head and squinted at the bright sun. He only felt that everything that happened in this mountain mansion was like an evil dream, and the only thing that could prove that it happened was probably only The delicate and cold silver chain coiled around his left arm.
The scientific examination was imminent, and after Chi Yan settled down in the capital, he forced himself to devote all his attention to studying Wenshu. And Ye Yingzhi didn't bother him anymore, as if he really stayed between the mansion in the mountains, no news came, but he occasionally had one or two seamless dreams, and the dreams were all with that A scene of ghosts.
Chi Yan has a solid foundation, and the article also has a certain bottom-out idea. As if to paralyze himself, he devoted all his energy and thought to preparing for the scientific examination. The final result did not live up to expectations. Although it was not ranked in the top three, the results were also very good.
Or maybe it was because he had a good chance. When he was assigned the position, he was neither sent to a remote place, nor was he expected to be appointed for a long time. He was sent an idle job and left him to fend for himself. Instead, he got a real job in the Ministry of Housing, although it was only a matter of time. Being a seventh-grade man, he can actually do some practical things, and there are subsidies that allow him to rent a mansion of his own in the capital.
When the result came out, Uncle Zheng couldn't help but kneel on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed to Tiansan, repeatedly saying that his wife has a spirit in the sky and bless the young master with everything.
As soon as things settled down here, and the string that was straining for the scientific examination was broken, Chi Yan naturally thought of his "Ghost Lady". At that time, Ye Yingzhi wanted him to go back after the exam. If he was in high school, he would come out with him as an official; even if he was not lucky enough, he wanted him to go back and continue to be a husband and wife.
But Chi Yan was deeply afraid of him. Now that he finally escaped from the haunted house, how could he be willing to go back; but if he didn't go back, he was afraid that Ye Yingzhi would be angered, which would lead to unforeseen consequences. Chi Yan was in a dilemma until Uncle Zheng asked him to pick up his wife.
Chi Yan was having trouble sleeping and eating when he was thinking about whether to take his wife over to live together. One day he came back from the yamen, and just as he was about to enter the gate, he saw Uncle Zheng waiting by the side. After seeing him, he lowered his voice and asked. Said: "The madam came over and is now sitting in the main room."
Chi Yan froze all of a sudden, his palms involuntarily became cold, and the fragment that was tightly incorporated into the body in the mourning hall that day revived in his mind again - the silver-white lightning beating outside the window, the roaring thunder, the thing was pleasant. Gasping and those cold kisses and strokes...
He had an urge to turn around and run away now, so that he would no longer have to face the ghost waiting for him in the room.
But he didn't dare, he didn't even dare to let Uncle Zheng see the slightest clue.
So he could only reply with a calm expression, "I know", and then pretended to walk into the room naturally.
Ye Yingzhi was really sitting in the room, and when he saw him walking in, he stood up, gently hugged him into his arms and said in a low voice, "I asked you to come back to me after you finish the exam. I can come to you."
His embrace was cold, and Chi Yan couldn't help shaking slightly, but he didn't dare to push it away. The "people" in front of him are still gentle and lingering, but he can't return to the sweet state of mind when he was newly married, and his heart is firmly grasped by fear and can't break free.
At this moment, Ye Yingzhi held his left wrist and held it up in front of him, but did not remove the silver chain, only gently dropped a kiss on his wrist.
