This is a very speechless answer.
Just like Tang Thirty-Six said, Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong are really two people who make people speechless.
Or it was precisely because of this that after hearing Chen Changsheng's answer, Xu Yourong didn't appear too surprised, let alone angry, but rather satisfied.
He only remembered to come to Fusui Road after dusk to eat bean curd fish. Although the last thing he ate was beef bones, he only remembered what he said in Zhouling, so he divided the gold and silver treasures into two piles and exchanged more than half of them for the lower reaches of the Red River. Even though she had nothing to do with the Xiuling clan, he only remembered that he had promised her to divorce, so he would ask His Majesty the Pope to forcibly dissolve the engagement despite being criticized by the people of Kyoto. Although this matter now seems stupid and he is in a hurry How to get back that marriage certificate...
It's not important to get some things wrong, and it's not important to forget some things, as long as you remember some things.
Because of Chen Changsheng's answer and the delicious beef bones in the iron pot, Xu Yourong didn't have any regrets about his handing out the small note on the Naihe Bridge.
She said softly, "I ate very well, thank you."
After saying this, she stood up, put away the grassland, picked up the yellow paper umbrella from the ground, and walked out of the store.
Noisy and lively voices rushed over in an instant. Chen Changsheng was slightly startled. He watched her lift the curtain and come out. He suddenly remembered that there was one more important thing he forgot to give her. Finally, there are snowflakes floating on the street at night, but where can I see her figure
He looked at the string of ten stone beads on his wrist, thinking that he must not forget such an important thing next time.
The voice of the shop owner came from the side: "Customer, there is still half a pot of beef bones left. Are you going to pack it or eat it later?"
Chen Changsheng turned around and looked, only to see that the store owner looked a little uneasy, and after a moment of stupefaction, he realized that the other party was worried that he would renege on his debt.
The store owner rubbed his hands and looked at him nervously.
…
…
Carrying the packed beef bones, Chen Changsheng returned to the Orthodox Academy.
The winter forest by the lake looks a little gloomy in the night, but the snow line carried on the branches dilutes this feeling a bit. A deep, thunderous sound could be heard faintly from the depths of the forest, and occasionally there would be a few very thin, bright lines like lightning floating out, it was Xuanyuan Po who was practicing.
Su Moyu was instructing the freshmen in the library. Zhexiu, who was recovering from his injuries, didn't know which snowdrift he was honing his spirit and will under. Instead, they waited for him in Chen Changsheng's room.
It's not just because he is very curious about Chen Changsheng's whereabouts, nor is it that he has really reached a certain level of hatred for exploring other people's secrets, but because the thing he is holding in his hand must be handed over to Chen Changsheng himself. Only in Changsheng's hands can he rest assured.
Even if he is the richest person in the world, if he loses that thing, he can't afford it.
Because it is a scepter that represents the authority of the state religion, no matter how rich you are, you can't buy it.
Tang Thirty-Six had been sitting in the room for a long time, thinking about the embarrassing scene in Li Palace earlier, thinking about those gazes like real swords, until now, his back felt a little sore, thinking about Chen Changsheng At this time, I don't know where to be happy, and my mood is getting worse and worse.
So when Chen Changsheng returned to the room, of course he saw an ugly face.
I don't know why, maybe it was because he was hiding the truth, so looking at his face, Chen Changsheng felt a little uneasy, put the food box on the table, pretended not to see him sitting on his bed, pretended that he didn't have any cleanliness fetishes, He said very carefully: "The beef bones on Fusui Road taste very good."
"His Majesty's scepter tastes even better."
No matter how ugly Tang Sanshiliu's face was, he couldn't see where it was, but the anger represented by his deliberate indifference was easy to see.
Chen Changsheng was very surprised when he took the scepter. Although Tang Sanshiliu had predicted this matter beforehand and reminded him, he still hadn't expected it.
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and said coldly, "Aren't you going to confess?"
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "I just made an appointment to have a meal with someone, it's nothing serious."
"But still can't say something?"
"Um."
"Then who did you dine with?"
"I can't say..."
Chen Changsheng was a little nervous, thinking about sitting and drinking with Xu Yourong earlier, but the corners of his lips raised slightly involuntarily.
Looking at this scene, Tang Thirty-Six gasped and said, "A woman?"
Chen Changsheng was surprised, and asked, "How did you find out?"
Tang Thirty-Six sneered and said: "Look at your face full of spring breeze and seven emotions, only Xuanyuan Po can't see it."
Chen Changsheng was slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"Three days, three days at the latest." Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely be able to find out about you. I just met Xu Yourong, but you were not fascinated by it, but went to have sex with other girls Seeing you, I'm really curious about how well that girl looks like."
Chen Changsheng was a little puzzled, but also slightly dissatisfied, and asked, "Why can't I go to meet Xu Yourong?"
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Xu Yourong will meet you in private? Just tell me that you are Su Li's illegitimate child."
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't Zhe Xiu want to call me uncle?"
Tang Thirty-Six laughed out loud when he heard the words, and then his smile suddenly disappeared when he thought of something.
He looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "You actually learned to tell jokes, and it's really funny... You're really finished."
Chen Changsheng was puzzled, and asked, "What?"
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and said sympathetically: "It seems that you really like that girl, otherwise you wouldn't have a big change in temperament. What will you do in the future?"
…
…
Chen Changsheng lay on the bed, tossing and turning until late at night, still unable to fall asleep.
After the age of ten, except for the period when he first entered the capital and failed to wash his marrow with starlight, this was the first time he suffered from insomnia.
Tang Thirty-Six's last words seemed to tear off that layer of window paper, allowing the starlight to fall on the snow field inside his body, illuminating all his thoughts clearly.
In the past six months after leaving Zhou Garden, he often thinks of her, whether it is on the big banyan tree by the lake or among the boulders in Zhouling, but what he doesn't understand is—that kind of missing is the missing of missing, until today in Naihe Qiao Baisha fell down and saw her eyes, especially in the tavern before, she was wrapped in a big padded jacket, sipping shochu, gnawing bones, different from Zhou Yuanli, different from people's legends , but incomparably real, real and beautiful, so people want to get close.
That's why this longing has come to fruition, with real weight.
Real and heavy missing is called lovesickness, once lovesickness, it is difficult to sleep.
Chen Changsheng was a person who was slow in speech but quick in action, so he couldn't sleep anyway, since he wanted to see her, then he went to see her.
Xu Yourong had told him that he should not let anyone know about their acquaintance, so he had no way to see her through normal channels, so he could only meet her secretly.
He got up, put on his clothes, floated out of the window, crossed the winter forest, took out the key, opened the wonderful secret door on the palace wall that was concealed by ivy, and walked in.
Pushing the heavy door open a crack, looking at the deep palace under the night, he was a little nervous, so that the whistle he blew was a little hoarse.
He is a very well-behaved young man who rarely does such things. Although he has sneaked into the palace several times, the situation now is a little different from before. His Majesty the Pope officially announced to the entire continent last night that he is the state religion. As a result, he broke into the palace at night. If someone finds out, something big will happen.
The wind and snow drifted slowly, and the red walls and yellow eaves of the palace were painted white.
The Holy Empress looked at the snowflakes outside the window, with a mocking smile on her lips, and said, "Do you know when people are most courageous?"
The north-south confluence is imminent, and various matters suddenly increased. Mo Yu was still dealing with the affairs with the empress until late at night, and was already a little tired. Hearing this question suddenly, he was taken aback before he realized it, and said softly: " Facing the hour of death?"
"It's not wrong, but there is another situation... because of love."
The Holy Empress looked at the Night Palace outside the window, and said, "Or to put it another way, she's full of lust."
The sky is full of snow dancing, the lights are overflowing, the palace seems to be daytime, not like late night, so the black things are a little conspicuous.
When Chen Changsheng saw the black sheep walking slowly from the snow-covered square, he felt a lot of gratitude.
He told the black sheep why he came.
The black sheep glanced at him, turned around and walked somewhere, after an unknown amount of time, raised its horns at a certain palace in front of it, then turned and disappeared into the snowy night.
The location of the palace is excellent, not very remote, but very quiet, and in the deep winter, there are many green trees around the palace, which is very unusual.
She lives here? It seems that the rumors are true, the Holy Empress dotes on her very much, even more than Princess Pingguo.
Then if the state religion and the imperial court split in the future, and the Pope's uncle and the Empress Dowager fight, she will definitely help the Empress, what should I do? Suddenly, he remembered what she had said in the tavern, and realized that this was indeed a problem. He could forget it for a while, but he couldn't think about it all the time.
The wind and snow in front of the hall made it a little cold, but his face was a little hot at first, and then gradually cooled down at this time, not because of a cold heart, but because he needed to calm down.
He came to see her, but he didn't move for a long time, he didn't mean to sneak into the palace, he just stood there.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice came into his ears, it was her voice.
"What are you... standing here for?"
He looked towards where the sound came from, and saw that a window on the east side of the palace was still lit. He walked over and saw her silhouette reflected by the light.
She was sitting at the table by the window with a volume in her hand.
It was late at night, but she hadn't slept yet, for some reason, whether it was the same reason as his failure to fall asleep.
"I... want to meet you." He said to her through the window.
Xu Yourong said softly from the window: "Didn't we just meet?"
Chen Changsheng hesitated for a while, then said, "But... I can't sleep."
Xu Yourong turned around and looked out the window, a little uneasy, wondering what happened so that even a person like him could not fall asleep
You must know that in the Zhou Garden back then, even though there were countless terrifying beasts lurking in the surrounding grass sea, he could still fall asleep peacefully.
"What happened?"
"It's okay... I just can't sleep because of your thoughts."
