Tang Thirty-Six raised his hands very low, his head was also low, and his voice was actually very low.
Although I couldn't see his face, I could imagine how embarrassed he must be.
The crowd parted like a tide, no matter how embarrassing he was, as a well-known friend of Chen Changsheng, especially with the status of director of the Orthodox Academy, plus Su Moyu and Xuanyuan Po insisted on turning their heads away, he He could only walk forward until he reached the front of His Majesty the Pope.
Mao Qiuyu's face was a little ugly, and he resisted not to reprimand him.
His Majesty the Pope's expression was very calm, and he handed over the scepter to him.
The divine scepter was not as heavy as people imagined, but Tang Thirty-Six felt that it was as heavy as a mountain, and he was about to be unable to bear it, so he bent his knees and bowed in place of Chen Changsheng.
He lowered his head, and could feel the gazes cast from all around. Some gazes were astonished, some were disdainful, some were gratified, and most of them were hostile, sharp as swords.
He felt that he was innocent, so he was very annoyed. Following Mao Qiuyu's instructions, he said words such as gratitude, but he kept cursing swear words in his heart.
Those swear words were naturally addressed to Chen Changsheng who didn't know where he was at this time.
…
…
The snow fell more and more heavily, there were no pedestrians in the streets and alleys, and the lights in the alleys were constantly being lit.
Chen Changsheng had stood on Fusui Road for a long time, looking at the sky, heaved a sigh in his heart.
The sun was covered by snow and clouds, and the capital was a little dark. It could only be vaguely judged from the brightness that the sun was moving westward and was about to sink.
The time on the note is dusk, but the world in dusk is often a little blurry. Dusk itself is a vague concept. There will always be half an hour from the beginning of sunset to the time when the sun completely falls below the horizon. So now Is it still dusk
Did he arrive too early? Or is she really not coming
He thought, if she hadn't come when it was dark, then let's leave.
At this moment, a loud voice came from a distance, vaguely from the direction of the palace, he didn't know what happened, let alone that it was related to him, he rubbed his hands in the wind and snow, looking at the palace for a while Looking in the direction of Dong Yu Shen Jiang's mansion for a moment.
There is a problem with his meridians, and the amount of true energy that can be output is insufficient, but the amount of true energy in his body is actually very abundant, and he is not afraid of the cold at all. The reason why he kept rubbing his hands and occasionally stomping his feet at this time is completely Mood problems.
The sky was getting darker, and it was really getting dark, and he gave up all hope.
At this moment, a voice sounded from some distance behind him.
"Why are you standing here?"
Hearing this voice, his body stiffened slightly. He turned around and saw a person holding an umbrella walking slowly in the alley behind him.
The umbrella looked a little old, and seemed a little weird. In the dim light, it cut off the under the umbrella, making it difficult to see the under the umbrella, and most people might not even be able to see it at all.
But Chen Changsheng could, because he was very familiar with this umbrella. This umbrella should have belonged to him. Of course, this umbrella was a yellow paper umbrella.
Like a fallen leaf in the snow, the yellow paper umbrella slowly came to him, then leaned back slightly, revealing Xu Yourong's face.
That face is difficult to describe in words, and can only be described with the word perfect.
Looking at this extremely beautiful and indeed unfamiliar face, Chen Changsheng was a little nervous and lost his mind.
He looked into her eyes, found the familiar tranquility and indifference, and finally relaxed gradually.
He is familiar with her voice, and also with her eyes. Once their eyes meet, the strangeness is gone, and the two of them seem to have returned to Zhou Garden again.
Live and die together all the way, stay with you day and night, sit and discuss the Tao, stand up to meet the enemy, cover up as before, and grow old in vain.
Pour the umbrella, just like before.
But why do you have to talk about it now
Chen Changsheng felt embarrassed when he suddenly thought of these words.
He didn't know at this time that there was someone more embarrassing than him in Li Palace.
"Why are you standing here? Didn't you agree to eat tofu fish?"
Different from Chen Changsheng's nervousness now, Xu Yourong always knew that he was him, and dozens of days were enough for her to calm down. And they really spent too much time together in Zhou Garden. When she saw him, she really couldn't feel strange, let alone show any sense of distance.
"... I went to the alley to search twice, but I couldn't find the tofu fish you mentioned." Chen Changsheng said.
Xu Yourong was stunned, looked into the alley, and said with some regret: "I haven't been back for three years, and it's gone. The fish in that shop is really good."
"Why... did you come over there?" Chen Changsheng asked, pointing to the alley where she came.
That street was not the way from the imperial palace, nor the way from the East Imperial General's Mansion, so he didn't find it.
"I went to the small orange garden and waited for a while. Mo Yu... didn't come back, so I came here, a little late."
When he said this, Xu Yourong blinked his eyelashes lightly, his eyes were slightly lowered, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.
Before going to the appointment, she suddenly remembered that this was the first time she and Chen Changsheng met in private. Of course, Zhou Yuanli could not be counted. She suddenly felt a little shy, and thought that the invitation on the Naihe Bridge was her own initiative. I didn't want to be thought of, so I decided to take Mo Yu with me on the spur of the moment.
Who knew Mo Yu wasn't there.
She didn't know whether to feel sorry or happy.
In short, these things are much more complicated for her than deciphering the Tianshu tablet.
The sky was too dark, Chen Changsheng didn't see her expression, he was very slow in this regard, and of course he couldn't figure out why she went to the Little Orange Garden to look for Mo Yu, he just thought that the purpose of today was to make an appointment for dinner, he was a little uncertain to ask Said: "How about eating something else in the alley, or... go to another place?"
"Just here."
Xu Yourong handed over the handle of the umbrella.
Chen Changsheng took it naturally.
No words or even eyes are needed, the movement of handing and receiving umbrellas is very natural, as if it has been done countless times.
Because, they have indeed done this action countless times in the Zhou Garden—on the grassland where the sun never sets, when encountering monsters, when rushing on the road, most of the time, she is on his back, and the umbrella is on her. When she is tired, she will hand over the umbrella to him.
Holding an umbrella, Chen Changsheng walked side by side with her into the alley in the snow.
The speed of time changing things in the world may not be much faster than running water, but it is very easy to change a restaurant on a street.
Fusui Road is now the most famous is not tofu fish, but stewed bones in iron pot.
In a short alley, there are five stewed bones in iron pots, all of which say authentic Qishi big bones on the outside, and I don't know which one is the real one.
The hot mist from the iron pot overflows from the restaurants, mixed with the extremely rich meaty aroma, which is extremely attractive in the cold winter.
Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were not afraid of the wind and cold, but they also yearned for this feeling. They looked for a house that looked a little cleaner, and walked in.
The bones are stewed in an iron pot, and the kang pot is used. After the thick cotton curtain is opened, there is a wave of heat oncoming.
Today's business is a little deserted. In the usually very lively shop, there is only one kang table with customers. The guests in this situation are naturally the real diners, all of their attention was on the delicious meat and bones and the drinks, and they didn't even notice that a young man and a woman came in.
Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong walked to the innermost place, and before they were seated, they heard a sudden fierce quarrel behind them.
A diner put the wine bowl heavily on the table and said angrily, "Miss Yourong beat that Chen Changsheng like a dog, how could she lose!"
Another diner sneered and said, "Then why did Miss Yourong admit defeat?"
The diner blushed, and choked out a sentence: "...that's her old love, she thought that Chen Changsheng was her fiancé after all, so she showed mercy."
The boss heard the quarrel in the back kitchen, and hurried over to smooth things over, and finally calmed down the guests, and saw two new guests in the shadow of the corner. The young man and woman did not sit down, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. He couldn't help but feel very strange, thinking, what's the matter with you if other people are arguing
