Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 205 Friends Gathering
"Ah! I'm so happy, come in, come in."

"I thought you had already returned to the imperial city, but you are still here." Su Jiu was dragged by Liang Xiaodie into the yard.

"Bullshit, you left suddenly, can I go back alone. I'm so worried about you, I finally came back, where have you been all this time?"

"Just go out for a walk, hehe, you look good, but, why..." Su Jiu could see Liang Xiaodie's attire clearly now.

Liang Xiaodie also looked at herself, followed by a string of silver bell-like laughter from the yard, "Hahahaha..."

A maid had long ago pointed at Liang Xiaodie and said, "Miss, today's dress is the most similar."

"You..." Su Jiu didn't understand why.

"Haha, Su Jiu, we recently found a new game, that is, everyone dresses up as a female ghost, and whoever scares anyone will be dressed up by that person the next day. Oops, that dead girl scared me yesterday. Dare to get up. It’s my turn today, I just loosened my hair, I haven’t had time to apply makeup on my face, and my clothes are still there, hahaha..."

"Look at you, you're still the same as before." Liang Xiaodie didn't change at all, and Su Jiu finally felt relieved.

"Hahaha...Okay, I'm not going to play today, you all should leave, I'll go in with Su Jiu and talk for a while." Liang Xiaodie smiled and waved everyone to leave. Walk into the house with Su wine.

"Su Jiu, tell me quickly, you must have encountered something interesting outside. But, why did you come back suddenly? Did the prince look for you?"

"Yes."

"...Hey, it's good to be back. The prince has been fighting recently, and he almost died a few times. Fortunately, nothing happened. The barbarians are about to be kicked out, and Prince Liao and General Duan are also going back. It's just that they keep saying it's a pity. Since I couldn't see Su Jiu, everything was busy and my lord went out to look for you non-stop, I heard that he sent a lot of people, and finally found you, I should be relieved."

"Xiaodie..." Su Jiu looked at Liang Xiaodie's face, only to realize that she had lost a lot of weight. The former oval face had now become a pointed chin. Under the wide dress, there were two thin shoulders. The only hand left was the skin wrapped around the bone. Under the blood-red cardamom, it really looked like the hand of a ghost, white and thin.

"Su Jiu..." Su Jiu is not as gentle as before, his fair skin is much darker, his sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, like a man working in the fields.A looming knife scar lay shockingly on the darkened skin, because the wound was newly formed, and the wound there was red with flesh.The waist of the coarse linen clothes was tied with a waist rope casually, and a huge kitchen knife was pinned there. The blade was sharp and exuded a chill.

The two people met their eyes and finally shed tears.

After crying for a while, Su Jiu laughed, "I didn't expect that I still like to cry now, just like you."

"Bullshit, why do I like to cry, I'm just too worried about you, you left under such circumstances, I don't know how worried we are, brother Zhou Xiang went to look for you that day, but it was still a step late, hey... You said that if you say hello to me before you leave, and tell us where you are going, it’s fine, your heart is hanging, you can’t eat well or sleep well.”

"I...was too reckless at the time. Thinking about it, I was still too cowardly. If I had been stronger, I wouldn't have let it go. You guys are worried about me."

"It's good if you're fine, don't leave when you come back, think about it, the prince can find you wherever you go. I also heard about you, you are brave enough to hide such important things If you don’t take it out, it’s a hot potato and you can’t handle it.”

Su Jiu was startled at first, and then nodded knowingly. There is no such thing as an impenetrable force, so how could he hide it from everyone, so he said, "I know, this time I came back to make a deal, and I can't drag Xiao Shan down."

"It's good to know. Hey, hand it over as soon as possible. No matter who you give it to, you can't keep it with yourself. That thing doesn't belong to us."

Su Jiu lowered his head silently, and said, "You must also know about my background."

Liang Xiaodie didn't want to mention it at first, but she didn't expect Su Jiu to say it first. After a moment of silence, she stepped forward and took Su Jiu's hand, holding it firmly in her palm. Although she felt a little chilly, that firmness She was slowly passing it on to Su Jiu, "It's all over, you should still be Su Jiu, or move to live with me, I'm boring by myself."

"Xiaodie, do you believe that Li Kuo is dead?" Su Jiu asked her suddenly.

Liang Xiaodie was stunned, tears closed her eyes, she stared at Su Jiu, "Su Jiu, you, tell me whether I believe it or not?"

"Xiaodie, I..." Seeing the strength that was shattered in an instant, Su Jiu realized that Liang Xiaodie's happiness was all faked.

"I thought about it for many nights, I thought I would forget, I would start a new life, but I can fool everyone but not myself. I have been thinking for a long time whether he is really dead, maybe the letter is a fake Yes, but I asked the lord, and the lord said it was true, it was true. Heh...all hope is gone, gone, I once wanted to hold a hope or bring me and his children to live, but The child is gone, this is... fate!"

"Little Butterfly!"

"Su Jiu, I know, I know, you also hope that he is not dead, but he is dead, dead, hehe... Life is still going on, I always tell myself like this, but how to live, I don't know .”

"Xiaodie, I came back for this matter. Even so, I still don't believe that Li Kuo died just like that. You can't give up." Su Jiu didn't know why this insistence was. Persistence is in vain, but she still wants to convince Xiaodie that this is illusory, because only hope can live.

"No, I don't want to insist anymore, let him go, just treat it as a life for another, he killed Xiaotong, and now he is dead, the two are settled."

"Little Butterfly..."

Liang Xiaodie suddenly laughed, wiped away the tears from her face, grabbed Su Jiu's hand and said, "Don't talk about it, we still have to live, by the way, brother Zhou Xiang will come back today, and he said he would stay for a few days, It just so happens that you are here too, just come with us, Zhou Xiang is also worried about you."

"Really, but I still want to go back. I want to build a house under the mountain, and I will live with Xiaoshan."

"Why is it so troublesome, wouldn't it be nice to move to my place?"

"Little Butterfly..."

"Oh, I can't beat you. I know you don't like to trouble others, so it's up to you, but I must not leave today. Zhou Xiang should come back when the time comes. Let's go and have a look."

As soon as the two went out, they saw Zhou Xiang about to get off his horse.

"Zhou Xiang." Su Jiu shouted suddenly.

Zhou Xiang was frightened and fell to the ground perfectly.

"Hahaha..." Liang Xiaodie burst out laughing.

"Miss Su..." Zhou Xiang's eyes lit up, as if seeing a dish that he hadn't eaten for many years, "You, you are back, you are really back."

Zhou Xiang ran forward and wanted to hug her, but when he walked up to Su Jiu, he stopped in time, "Hey, Miss Su, it's great to be back..."

"Stupid!" Su Jiu didn't hesitate, stepped forward on tiptoe and embraced this big man who was a head taller than him, "It's good to see you."

"Um, yes, that's great!" Zhou Xiang was stunned for a moment, and wanted to wrap his arms around Su Jiu's waist.

"Ahem..." Liang Xiaodie warned in time.

"Hey..." Zhou Xiang withdrew his hand and continued to smirk, his eyes full of happiness.

"Okay, don't be sentimental, let's go, Su Jiu will have a good get-together today when he comes back." Liang Xiaodie urged.

"Well, let's go to my place. I have already prepared the wine. I thought it would be just me and Xiaodie today. Now that Su Jiu comes back, it would be great. Haha, we won't go home until we're drunk."

The three of them walked into the Zhou Mansion, and at this moment a little girl named Pingting came to meet her. She was taken aback for a moment, then hopped forward, "Master, you are back."

"Well, first bring the horse in, then make a table of dishes and send them to the pavilion in the backyard, and then bring the wine I prepared earlier!"

"Okay, wait a minute, master." The little girl hopped and ran away again.

Seeing Su Jiu and Liang Xiaodie staring blankly at each other, Zhou Xiang smiled embarrassingly, and then said, "I'm often not in the mansion, but I can't leave the yard empty like this, so I called the maid from my father's place to come here." No, she doesn't come here often, but only occasionally to clean."

"Zhou Xiang, about the little boy..." Liang Xiaodie's words choked up.

"I know, it's all over, Xiao Tong's house has been taken care of, but I don't know how Li Kuo is doing now."

"Didn't you already know the news that Li Kuo is dead?!" Liang Xiaodie asked him, his eyes instantly lit up with a faint hope.

"Yes, but I don't believe he's dead. A few days ago we caught a barbarian and asked about the matter. He only said that the commander is not Mo Xian, but now the barbarians are torn apart, and they have the ability to unite the three tribes. I am afraid that there is no one left, and then he bit his tongue and killed himself when he wanted to ask that barbarian, so the prince has always guessed that Li Kuo is not dead, and he is afraid that what he found before was only Li Kuo's substitute."

"really?"

At this time, the food and drink were ready, Liang Xiaodie stood up excitedly, almost overturning the table in front of her.

"Xiaodie, we can't be sure about this matter yet, we need to investigate thoroughly." Su Jiu held Liang Xiaodie down and told her to do well.

"I know, but I don't know if he really didn't die and came to pick me up, would I go with him, after all..."

"Are you hesitating because you have put him down in your heart?" Su Jiu asked her.

Liang Xiaodie shook her head, "I don't know, I've been looking forward to him coming back to pick me up for so long, but when I heard the news that he's not dead, I started to hesitate again, hey..."

"Forget it, don't think about it, everything has not been concluded yet, our important thing today is to drink, for Su Jiu's return." Zhou Xiang held up his wine glass, doing it first as a respect.

"Okay, let's not get drunk today."

After drinking for three rounds, the three of them drank almost all the wine in the wine jar, but they didn't take a sip of the delicious food on the table.

Holding the wine cup, Su Jiu tilted his head to look at the dishes in front of him, but he had no appetite at all.

Zhou Xiang filled up his own, took a sip by himself, looked at Liang Xiaodie, who was already drunk and unconscious, and said with a smile, "It's still the same as before, the first one to fall down after drinking."

"Heh..." Su Jiu chuckled.

"Zhou Xiang..."

"Su Jiu, no, I'll talk first."
