marriage order

Chapter 28

The world is peaceful this year, and autumn comes a bit late.

Except for a soldier mutiny in the Hebei Fanzhen, the Fanzhen in most places is relatively stable.And all the people in the DPRK have been muddled for another year, because the Yushitai under the leadership of Caotai is obviously loose and out of tune, but it has cultivated good relationships with other officials and built the most harmonious and happy officialdom since the founding of the country. environment.

However, the higher-ups are also thinking about replacing Master Cao.

Yu Shitai is not going to catch the cancer of the court, he is happy every day, what does he think of himself?Do you want to be those clowns with strange tastes in Guanglu Temple?Even a general who only knows how to tear down a house and build a house to make up for it all day is not as good as a prisoner!
Master Cao felt angry, but he didn't think it was a crisis at all.After all, it would be very difficult for the court to find another guy like Shen Fengge.After all, whoever is an official is willing to offend others, and only a guy like Shen Fengge who has no way out can purge Yushitai into that appearance.

However, I heard that Shen Fengge is eating well and living well in the Huainan Mansion, and his life is also very nourishing.After reading this, Master Cao still felt a little bit of subtle jealousy.

Because of this jealousy, he quarreled with Xu Miaowen in Guangzhai Temple inexplicably.Because he was talking about Shen Feng Pavilion, but he dragged Pei Qu and others into the conversation, and even spread rumors several times, which was very ugly.Xu Miaowen, who was also waiting for Chang Shen to start at Guangzhai Temple, heard it, and became angry for a while, so he argued with him.

If Chang Shen was not about to start, I'm afraid this quarrel would end at some point.After being persuaded by Guangzhai Siqing, the two, one in purple robe and one in scarlet robe, patted their clothes to wipe their saliva, and went to Danfengmen without paying attention to each other.

In the year after Pei Qu and others left Chang'an, Xu Miaowen felt extremely lonely, so he lived a life of upside down day and night, without separating the family and the public house.Xu's elders complained one after another, "Once the first emperor left, the marriage order became invalid, and the official media office was not active at all. When will my husband marry a bride?" A new lady was welcomed in two days.

Xu Miaowen is really tired. Every ten-day holiday, she has to be urged by a group of elders to deal with various matchmakers, and even if she wants to sleep late, she can't do it.Before dawn, he sneaked out of Wannian County by virtue of his fish bag privilege, and headed for Zhongnan Mountain swaggeringly.

He planned to drink some good tea and have a quiet time, but he bumped into Yun Guanzi on the way.Yun Guanzi said: "A rare guest is a rare guest", so he wanted to invite him to sit in the temple.Xu Miaowen thought it was just time to see and see, so he followed Yun Guanzi to the Taoist temple.On the way, Yun Guanzi asked about Pei Qu, Xu Miaowen said: "That guy seems to have taken his apprentice to Fanbang a while ago." Then he snorted shallowly, "Fanbang is poor, what's the fun!"

Yun Guanzi stroked his beard and said, "It's time to come back?"

"Yeah, he has to come back to give Shangyuan the antidote. I heard that Shangyuan is not doing well." Xu Miaowen said truthfully.Shangyuan has been seriously ill for more than a month, it is really unexpected that she is not as good as her younger brother in body now.

Yun Guanzi responded with "Oh oh" a few times, and then stopped.Xu Miaowen asked: "Hey, is this the Taoist priest?"

"Not far ahead is Lord Lian's cemetery, and I came here today to pay respects."

"Ah, no wonder." Only then did Xu Miaowen notice the Taoist boy following him, the basket in his hand must have been filled with sacrificial supplies?It seems that Yun Guanzi still cares about his fellow student Pei Lianjun, and I don't know if that kid Pei Qu remembers his birth mother's birthday.

He murmured in his heart for a while, he didn't walk a long way, and actually saw Pei Qu himself!Xu Miaowen rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and suddenly grabbed Yun Guanzi next to her: "Daoist, am I right?"

Yun Guanzi smiled as he must: "Xu Shaoqing read it right, it seems that Qilang brought an extra person."

Xu Miaowen rubbed her eyes again, the little girl with the bun is Nanshan!He regained his senses, strode over, and punched Pei Qu fiercely: "You bastard, it's fine if you don't call me when you get married, and don't tell me when you come back!"

Pei Qu didn't dodge either, and after he punched him several times, he asked, "Are you relieved?"

"Forget it, I can't relieve my anger." Xu Miaowen snorted, and glanced at Nanshan next to him, "The little girl looks so good, she looks hateful!"

Nanshan bulged his cheeks, and said innocently: "Could it be that Xu Shaoqing feels comfortable when he is sick?"

Xu Miaowennian didn't want to fight her because she was a girl, although he wanted to, but when he thought of her skill and looked at his broken body that even Pei Qu couldn't beat, he stopped his thoughts in time.

Nanshan took out and took out, and took out a small bag of glutinous rice from the bag and handed it to Xu Miaowen: "It was brought back from Fanbang, can it be used as wedding candy?"

Xu Miaowen took it with a "hum", unceremoniously took it apart, took a large piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed hard.

Daotong over there looked at the sacrificial objects that had been placed in front of the grave, and asked Yun Guanzi in confusion what to do.Yun Guanzi glanced at it, and said calmly, "Put it aside." He talked to Pei again, "I didn't expect you to come. How have you been this year?"

Pei Qu nodded, and thanked him for the antidote prescription he sent at that time.

Yun Guanzi paid homage to Pei Lianjun's tomb for a while, and invited them to sit in the Taoist temple, but Pei Qu declined.Pei Qu said that there are other things to do today, it is really not appropriate to stay longer, and he will come to visit another day.

Seeing this, Yun Guanzi didn't want to keep him anymore, but Xu Miaowen wasn't happy to go to the Taoist temple anymore, so he followed Pei Nan and the others back down the mountain.

"You want to send Shangyuan the antidote, right?"

"Yes."

"Sigh, I always feel that she is not long to live. The last time she wandered into my courtyard, she almost failed to wake up when she slept in the pavilion. It scared me to death. If the princess dies, my family will be okay? Bad luck. He looked Pei Qu up and down, "But you should have been poisoned, why are you so alive?"

"She's heartbroken."

"I think so too." Xu Miaowen babbled about almost all the new things that happened in Chang'an this year, and when he went down the mountain, he was still endless, and he was going to talk about Pei Qu for a lifetime.

Pei Nan and the two of them tolerated him very much, probably because they both understood the pain of a broken-mouthed person who has been bored for a whole year.

When they arrived at Guangzhaifang, Xu Miaowen and Nanshan found a shop and sat down to eat something, while Pei Qu went to Danfengmen.

Pei Qu's figure gradually faded away, Xu Miaowen asked Nanshan: "Fan Bang is so poor, is it fun?"

"It's not considered poor, but it's not quite the same as ours."

"Did you have fun?" Xu Miaowen, who could only bury all his energy in Chang'an, asked sourly.

Nan Shan nodded, envious of Xu Miaowen.

He secretly thought, if it wasn't for Nanshan, Pei Qu would have taken his good brother with him.What Nanshan thought was that if Mr. Pei took Xu Miaowen to Fanbang, he would definitely try his best to bully him, for example, because of Xu's language barrier, he threatened to say "If you are not obedient, you will be thrown in Fanbang".

The two drank cold drinks each, and each of them was frozen to death.

"The autumn wind is so cold!"

"The shop in Chang'an also closed cold drinks very late this year!"

"I heard you have a rice shop in Guangling?"

"There's also a pharmacy."

"Are you trying to inspire yourself to become a rich businessman?"

"No, it's because I have to support my family."

Hahaha marrying Yun Qi must be a loss, Xu Miaowen suddenly became happy after reading this.His volatile mood is in stark contrast to the stable weather in Chang'an at this time.

The warm sun at noon continued into the afternoon.At sunset, the sky is still bright, and the place where the sky and the earth meet is fiery red in the distance, and large clouds are surging. It seems that the weather will be fine again tomorrow.

At this time Xu Miaowen had gone to prepare the evening banquet, while Pei Qu and Nan Shan returned to Chang'an Pei Mansion.Pei's mansion has only been taken care of by a few servants this year, and it was very cold and lonely when we first entered, but it was also very clean.

The servant was probably so bored with his idle time that he didn't even let go of the fallen leaves on the ground, sweeping until there was not a single leaf left.

But after walking inside for a long time, I couldn't see anyone. I don't know where these servants went.

"If there is no one, why not go back to Chang'an County to live with me today, after all, it's easier to clean there, and you can also go and see the lady next door." Nan Shan said.

Pei Qu did not express any objection, but he still walked in.Nanshan was a little confused, so he followed him and continued on.

Suddenly, Nan Shan stopped in his tracks, almost jumping up for joy: "Look, husband!"

Although Pei Qu was also surprised, his face was very calm.He walked over unhurriedly, and Nanshan also came back to his senses after the initial joy, and followed closely.In front of him was a field of citrus trees. Although only a few of them bore fruit, it was still surprising in Chang'an.

Citrus is ripe in golden autumn, and Nanshan still remembers the candle night in Yangzhou in golden autumn last year.She regained her sense of taste that day and tasted the long-lost taste of citrus, which was unforgettable for a lifetime.But today, seeing the bright yellow oranges in the land of Chang'an is really a pleasant surprise.

She still vaguely remembered the night when she returned to Pei's house, she and Pei Qu sat on the porch in the backyard to discuss terms.Pei Qu said that she needed her help, but she unreasonably said that she wanted to eat fresh oranges just picked from the tree in Chang'an.At that time, Pei Qu even expressed his embarrassment, but she didn't take it too seriously, and later left Chang'an, she even forgot about it.

Now she is lucky to get her wish, which is really a blessing from God.

Pei Qu led her into the orangery, and she picked an orange and picked it off. She lowered her head and peeled the orange, feeling a little apprehensive.Because he didn't take care of it except transplanting and grafting at the beginning, and he didn't know whether the oranges that looked good were delicious or unpalatable.

The fresh, attractively fragrant orange petals were exposed little by little, Nan Shan couldn't wait to lean forward, Pei Qu broke off a petal and gave it to her to eat.

Nanshan bit it lightly, and the full juice spread gently between the teeth, it was too sweet and greasy.She ate slowly, little by little, until she almost touched Pei Qu's hand.

Pei Qu let go of his hands, lowered his head, and naturally shared this delicious fragrance with his lover.

The extravagant sunset covered the entire city of Chang'an, like a golden tent.The sunset in Chang'an City has been the same for thousands of years, and the world is constantly changing, but there are also short-term stable pauses.

Xu Miaowen, who had prepared the banquet, was happily sitting in front of the banquet and waiting for the arrival of friends; the father and daughter of the Shen family in Huainan were having an unusual dinner; Li Jiayin in the palace had finished her homework for the day and was going to lie down for a while; King Wu was quietly leaving outside the palace Passed; Shangyuan sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, while the two in the Orangery were still sharing sweetness.

The street drums in Chang'an City sounded as usual.

A farther road and a farther future are still waiting for them.
