Chapter 321 The Baiye Xiangmei on the Great Wall Are Blooming

Cheng Xia looked suspiciously at the things Da Hua took out from her arms, she felt that she might have fallen asleep, and she couldn't remember who she had written to.

Cheng Xia frowned and took it from Dahua's hand, then opened the envelope and looked at it, and smiled instantly. This is a letter sent by Xu Pu and Xiang Xiang from Nanjing. The address she left for Xu Xiang at that time was Zuihonglou. I forgot about it myself.

Regarding Wang Yue and Zhao Dezhong, everything was going in the direction guessed by Xu Xiang and the Nanjing chief envoy. Thinking about what Shao Chen told her about the two keys last night, Cheng Xia felt a surge in his heart. With pride and ambition, this Wang Yue, she is determined.

After sending off the big flowers, Cheng Xia's mood improved for no reason. She calculated that today is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. In two days, after the Spring Festival, Wang Yue will lead his troops to leave the capital to deal with the Oirats and Tatars. Well, she only has these two days, she needs to make good preparations, how can she completely defeat Wang Yue, so that he has no room to fight back, just disappear completely, forever.

In the following time, Cheng Xia used it to take good care of her body. She felt that this month had been extremely bad, and she had already exhausted her energy, so she had to make up for it.Shao Chen saw her cooperation, so he made food for her in different ways every meal, and specially asked Du Zhong to invite a famous chef in the capital to recuperate Cheng Xia's body.

This chef is also very capable, without big fish and meat, even porridge and small dishes can make a unique taste, making Cheng Xia start to look forward to the next meal after eating this meal.

Shao Chen was by Cheng Xia's side all the time, no matter how Cheng Xia pushed people away, he would not leave, and Cheng Xia wouldn't let him approach at night, so he asked his servants to move a table and put it on Cheng Xia's bed On the other hand, it is also euphemistic that when she first married into the Yang family, the two of them came here like this, one sleeping on the bed and the other sleeping on the table, and now they just switched positions, which is very suitable.

Cheng Xia goes with him.

She thought she should see Wang Qingwan, but she didn't see him for a few days after waking up. Later, she found out that Shao Chen had protected Leng Cuixuan, and Wang Qingwan couldn't get in.

On New Year's Eve, the sky turned gray again from the morning, and it looked like it was going to snow soon. Sure enough, at noon, snowflakes the size of goose feathers floated down one after another, covering Leng Cui Xuan's place in an instant. Brick by tile, the yard is all plain white.

After taking a nap, Cheng Xia rubbed her hands and stood at the door. In fact, the winter here is far less cold than in the 21st century. After all, the environment has not been destroyed, and the laws of nature have not changed. Summer is not too hot to faint, and winter is not too cold to shiver.

This snow is not clean, without any dirty things, Cheng Xia likes it very much.

A cloak was put over her shoulders, Cheng Xia didn't turn her head, but gathered her clothes and put the hat on her head to make her body warmer.

Standing beside Cheng Xia, Shao Chen tentatively took her into his arms. Seeing that she didn't refuse this time, his brows and eyes were instantly tinged with a smile, and he proudly pulled her even tighter into his arms.

"Don't push yourself!" Cheng Xia gave him a cold look.

Shao Chen didn't care, and only beckoned for Zi Yuan to come over, "Is the carriage ready?"

Zi Yuan quickly replied with a smile, "I've been waiting outside for a long time, just wait for the young lady to wake up."

"What?" Cheng Xia watched the conversation between the two of them back and forth, but didn't understand.

Shao Chen touched Cheng Xia's hand, it wasn't very cold, but he didn't dare to be careless, and asked Zi Yuan to come over with a thick cloak, and then hugged Cheng Xia with an inexplicable face out of the courtyard, the carriage was at the gate of the courtyard .Although he didn't know what Shao Chen was doing, Cheng Xia also wanted to go out to get some air, so he got into the carriage with Shao Chen's support.

The carriage is very spacious. In addition to two quilts inside to keep out the cold, there is also a small table filled with melon and fruit snacks. Even if the journey is far away, you don't have to worry about being hungry or thirsty.

Cheng Xia grabbed a small handful of melon seeds and put them in her hands and slowly gnawed them. Seeing Shao Chen busy covering her lap with the quilt, and moving the table a little further away, lest she bump into it, Cheng Xia was amused Looking at him, "Where are you taking me?"

Shao Chen lifted the heavy car curtain and took a look outside, then smiled mysteriously, "It won't be very far, if you get sleepy, take a rest and you'll be there."

Cheng Xia shook her head, she had slept for too long, she had slept enough, she opened the curtain slightly, and saw the goose-feather snow turned into light snow, which was sprinkled on the slow-moving road with the wind, which also had a special charm.

Cheng Xia remembered a passage she had read, saying that when it snowed, the Forbidden City would become the Forbidden City, Xi'an would become Chang'an, Suzhou would become Gusu, and Nanjing would become Jinling.All of these seem to be saying that snow is a machine that can travel back in time, and it can travel back in an instant.

When the carriage stopped, Cheng Xia was stunned when he saw the majestic and vast Great Wall in front of him.

Cheng Xia looked back at Shao Chen who was putting on the cloak for her in disbelief, "Why did you bring me to the Great Wall?"

Shao Chen fastened the belt of the cloak in front of her, and put the furry hat on her head, then asked her with a smile, "Just tell me if you like it?"

"Well," Cheng Xia nodded sincerely. She had been to the Great Wall several times in her previous life, but she had never been there in a snowy day, especially now that the Great Wall was empty, and only she and Shao Chen were welcome.

The white snow makes clothes, adding new clothes to the Great Wall.The fluttering snowflakes decorate this vast ancient road with Qin bricks and Han tiles.The mountains and rivers here are picturesque and the years are like songs, and it has gone through a long and long time in the long river of time.Cheng Xia has always been in awe of the Great Wall, because it provokes the cold moon at the border of the desert at one end, and guards the people of China in its chest at the other end. It deserves everyone's awe.

The snow was still falling, Shao Chen held Cheng Xia tightly, and walked slowly towards the beacon tower of the Great Wall step by step.

Cheng Xia asked Shao Chen sideways, "Which section of the Great Wall is this?" Cheng Xia couldn't tell where it was for a while.

"Mutianyu Great Wall," Shao Chen said, smiling at Cheng Xia, "the night you woke up, King Xing went to see you, and before he left, he said that the fenugreek plum blossoms on the Great Wall were in bloom, so I knew You must have asked him something, because I once said that you smell like plum leaves, right?"

"Stop being narcissistic!" Cheng Xia moaned angrily, "I want to come to the Great Wall to see the scenery, what does it have to do with you."

"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter," Shao Chen hurriedly begged for mercy, "I just want to recall the snow scene of the Great Wall, and I will show you the Baiye Xiangmei here, because it is really beautiful. The only time I saw Baiye This is the place where plum blossoms are grown. Its fragrance is very light, and its color is very delicate, even though I was too young at the time, I remembered the taste in my heart."

When they arrived at the first beacon tower, Shao Chen took Cheng Xia down the path outside the beacon tower, and walked to the outer edge of the Great Wall, where the plum blossoms were full, more luxuriant and more beautiful than Changling's.

Cheng Xia instantly fell in love with this pale yellow plum blossom, even though Ling Han destroyed most of the flowers, it still blooms alone, and it blooms so beautifully.

The flowers are light in color, and they sway slightly under the blowing of the wind, which makes Cheng Xia feel like the moonlight is swaying. She smiles and looks at Shao Chen, "Do you know, I like a poem very much: Sparse shadows, horizontal slopes, clear water Light, dark fragrance floating in the moon and dusk. Today, the Baiye Xiangmei really gives me such a feeling."

Shao Chen gently stroked the plum blossom petals on her hat, sighed, and carefully embraced her in his arms, tightly, as if with endless tenderness and pity, "These days I have been in love with you every day. Thinking, why am I willing to put you in such a situation and make you sad and sad, I blame myself, I really blame myself. I think I should be damned, even if I want to get Wang Yue's criminal evidence, I should Telling you a little bit, it won't make you heartbroken and haggard like this."

Shao Chen patted Cheng Xia's back lightly, "Forgive me this time, I know I did something wrong. Every time I quarrel with you on purpose, my heart trembles with pain. See you It’s uncomfortable, and I’m not feeling well. Every tear of yours makes me feel bad. I couldn’t hold on for several times. I even thought, confess, I won’t kill Wang Yue, let him live happily, I don't care about the affairs of the Shao Mansion, just like before, let them go, we will go back to Qingxian Village, live a happy life of our own, farm and study every day, educate Xiaolong and Cheng You to become talents, the sun rises Sunset, one day and one year, isn't this kind of plainness the rarest thing?"

Shao Chen felt a little emotional, "A few times, I got really angry and smashed all the things in the study. I couldn't help looking for you, and wanted to explain the ins and outs to you, and then bring You leave. It was Du Zhong who stopped me. He calmed me down several times. He told me that with Wang Yue's status and Wang Qingwan's current appearance, we couldn't leave at all, let alone be the best couple. Ordinary couples are going to gossip about their parents. Wang Yue will never let me go. From the moment I step into the capital, I have no way out. I can only look forward, and I can only be better than Wang Yue. Strong, step on him thoroughly, so that I can imagine the day I want."

"Du Zhong said that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Rather than procrastinating, it's better to get rid of it completely. It's better than letting Wang Qingwan keep inserting between us for no apparent reason, like a stick in the throat and unable to spit it out."

Cheng Xia sighed, pondered for a long time, and finally hugged Shao Chen back, "I understand what you said, but I hate being kept in the dark, even if you are thinking of me for my own good, I don't like it feeling."

"Okay, I know." Shao Chen gently pushed Cheng Xia away and stroked her cheek, "Actually, I wanted to tell you the night Wang Qingwan gave the love potion, but you were not in the mansion. I'm also a little angry. Although I believe in you as I believe in myself, I'm still uncomfortable. I can't say anything if you're not here, and then there will be the next thing. I can only bite the bullet and think about waiting for two Please forgive me after the key has been re-engraved."

"It's still my responsibility?" Cheng Xia stretched out his fist to threaten Shao Chen. If he dared to say yes, Cheng Xia would punch him without hesitation.

"No, no, how dare I," Shao Chen hurriedly begged for mercy, "forgive me, there will never be a next time, and no matter what happens in the future, I will be absolutely honest and will not hide anything."

"Hmph," Cheng Xia snorted, "it's your performance."

"You're still acting," Shao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm going to go out with the army tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back."

Speaking of this, Cheng Xia suddenly asked Shao Chen seriously, "How do you plan to deal with Wang Yue?"

"Tonight, Your Majesty is hosting a feast for all the officials at the Qianqing Palace. I intend to inform His Majesty about Wang Yue, and let His Majesty thoroughly investigate Wang Yue."

Cheng Xia frowned, thought carefully, looked up at Shao Chen, and said seriously, "Are you sure these two keys can convict Wang Yue?"

"Sure!"

"Well," Cheng Xia had an idea in an instant, "If you believe me, you can listen to me about dealing with Wang Yue. You don't do anything tonight, and you will go out as usual tomorrow, but I guarantee that Wang Yue will never be able to do it tomorrow." Turn over."
