Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 39
A few guards in armor came up from nowhere, said "yes" to Nie Wuhuan, followed by picking up Nie Yan who was about to fall to the ground, and walked in another direction.

Seeing Nie Yan walking away, Nie Wuhuan looked back at her and checked carefully, "Is there something wrong?"

Su Jiu froze for a moment, then shook his head at him, "It's okay!"

"No more running around in the future."

"Oh!" Su Jiu nodded obediently.

After sending Su Jiu back, Nie Wuhuan was called away by someone from the army.

"Miss Su, wait for me to come back." Standing at the door, Nie Wuhuan said to her reluctantly.

Su Jiu held the wine cup and looked at him. Through a dim halo, she seemed to see a layer of uneasiness on Nie Wuhuan's body, and then nodded to him dully, "Okay!"

Nie Wuhuan wanted to say something again, but when the words came to his lips, he made a heavy nasal sound, "En!" and turned away.

Su Jiu suppressed the taste of bitter tea in his mouth, scratched the broken hair on his forehead, then got up and looked at the figure that was fading away from the window, "My lord, come back early."

Nie Wuhuan got on the horse, turned the horse's head around, waved the rein in his hand and said to her, "Okay, wait for me."

"Drive!" Nie Wuhuan galloped away at the moment Su Jiu waved his hand.

In fact, Su Jiu wanted to say, "I'm still waiting for you to come back and let me go. I seem to have seen the person who wants to connect with me."

At the moment when she was dazed just now, she remembered that among the crowd, among the busy palace people, a servant girl once took her by the arm and walked for a long time on the day of concubine selection, and at the end she still whispered in her ear, so she must be right .

The waiting is undoubtedly suffering, especially when she is facing her own freedom.

Two days later, Nie Wuhuan came back exhausted, still wearing the same clothes before going out two days ago, already shiny black.According to people in the yard, Nie Wuhuan didn't close his eyes for two days in order to train the recruits.Those recruits are young and energetic, and they are not easy to discipline.

Nie Wuhuan and the lieutenant trained in batches, and they never showed mercy when they saw disobedient people. Needless to say, the torture was similar, and two of the whips in their hands were broken. The instigator fought in person and knocked him to the ground a few times, only to find a moment of peace.

When he had time to rest, he rode back.

He came out early this morning and saw that the sky was still blue and black. He wanted to see Su Jiu when he came back, and he didn't want to make trouble for the people in the house.

So I squatted at a stall on the side of the street, ate a few mouthfuls of wontons in a hurry, threw a few copper coins, and drove my horse into the gate of the house.

The first to meet him was Xiao Ling'er who looked at her with a basin of clear water and screamed.

"My lord, you are back."

Nie Wuhuan's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "What happened to Miss Su?"

"Yes, ah, no, it's just, oh, it's Miss Su who thinks about the prince and feels a little restless, can't sleep well, and has lost her energy."

Nie Wuhuan's heart ached and his body felt cold at first, and then a warm current flowed in, causing all the fatigue on his body to disappear.He raised his hand, threw the rein to Xiao Ling'er, and asked, "Where is the man?"

"Fell asleep in the room, just fell asleep."

"Didn't sleep all night?" Nie Wuhuan overflowed with unexplainable bitterness, so Su Jiu stayed up all night because of him?
"Yes, Miss Su has been painting all night, and she said that if she can't draw that person, she won't be able to sleep."

"That man? Who is it?"

"I don't know, the prince can go in and see for himself!"

Nie Wuhuan nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the courtyard.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Su Jiu in the dream sat up from the bed with a carp, very energetic, "Nie Wuhuan, you are back, I have been waiting so hard for you."

Nie Wuhuan's heart skipped a beat, and the faint smile gradually narrowed her eyebrows, followed by the corners of her mouth parting, and she hurried forward with a smile, spreading her arms, about to hug her.

Su Jiu said, "My lord, if I help you find out the person behind it, can you let me go? I've already found out. It's true. I can't make a mistake this time."

Nie Wuhuan froze, standing a step away from her in a daze, as if struck by lightning, unable to move.

"You, what did you say?" Nie Wuhuan asked repeatedly as if he still didn't believe it.

"It's true, I can assure you, that person is the maid who sent me to participate in the concubine selection that day. It is her. I can't be wrong. There was a banquet in the mansion that day. Xuan Xuan's woman, standing there the whole time, I thought I was wrong, but when I saw her busy running back and forth, I finally confirmed that it was her. By the way, that woman seems to have fought swords with you, you can't be wrong, Although I didn't see the front, the back view is unmistakable, unmistakable, I remember the pendant on her ear. Nie Wuhuan, you, haven't you regretted it again!"

Nie Wuhuan slowly paced in front of her, stopped after a long time, put his hands on the edge of the table, looked down at the crooked painting on the table, he was so familiar with the charm, and felt a "boom" in his heart "Have you really seen it?"

"Yes, yes, I remember clearly, her tone of voice, and her height and appearance, I can't forget, I can't be wrong. How could I forget so easily when she threatened me that day?! "

"Boom!" Nie Wuhuan raised a circle of fists and hit the table, then squeezed the scroll tightly and twisted it into a ball, then ran to the river pool outside the window, paused, he said, "Your painting is a failure, and you can't tell who it is."

"Ah! Then, I'll draw again. Anyway, the appearance of that person is imprinted in my mind, and I will never forget it in my life."

"You, forget about it."

"What?" Su Jiu was surprised.

"No, I mean, maybe you remember wrongly."

"I remember correctly, I won't remember wrongly, that day she led me straight from the backyard of the concubine's yard, my palms were sweating, I raised my head several times to ask her to speak, but she ignored me, How can I forget her appearance, by the way, there is another guy who has been threatening me with a dagger, I also remember, I remember, I remember the appearance of each of them."

"How could it be?" Nie Wuhuan muttered softly, "How could it be?"

"Why not, I will change the person who threatened me sooner or later, and I can't forget it."

"...So, so, what do you want?"

"Ah? Me, me, ah!" Su Jiu slapped his thigh, "You can take me there directly, and I will identify you in person."

Nie Wuhuan suddenly turned around, his face was full of disbelief, he looked at Su Jiu's firm face, and after a long time, he sighed slightly, "Okay, I'll take you there another day and identify him personally."

"Really?" Su Jiu laughed.

"nature."

"That's great, I'll be free soon, hahaha..." Su Jiu landed on the ground barefoot, dancing happily on the ground, and was overjoyed.

"I, I thought you, you wanted to see me and..." Nie Wuhuan hesitated to speak.

"I just can't wait to see you, hahaha...Because you knew earlier, I can leave here after I identify that person early, and I will be free. Although my family is poorer and there are not so many people to take care of me, But there is an incomparable family relationship there, it is my home, and there are my favorite family members."

"Really?!" Nie Wuhuan blankly turned around not to look at her.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The important thing should be said three times, Su Jiu jumped up and took Nie Wuhuan's hand, and said with a smile, "In order to show that you have taken care of me recently, I invite you to dinner."

"take me Out to eat?"

"Yes, um! How about this, I'll just cook some dishes that I'm good at, because I'm penniless, and I really can't invite you out for a big meal, so I'll eat it in the mansion, I'll cook it myself, I promise you I haven't eaten."

"..."

"OK?"

"……it is good!"

at night.

Su Jiu had already prepared everything, just waiting for Nie Wuhuan to show up, but Nie Wuhuan was delayed in coming.

"Miss Su, the prince must have forgotten it?!"

"How come, I promised to be good, but I forgot what that means? I'll look for it."

"Hey, Miss Su, here we come, the prince is here." Xiao Ling'er grabbed Su Jiu who was about to go out, and winked at her vigorously.

Su Jiu signaled, nodded to her, blew out the surrounding candles one by one, followed Xiao Ling'er and ran out, blocking Nie Wuhuan outside.

"My lord, I have to wait a little longer."

Nie Wuhuan had a sullen face and said nothing. He looked at Xiao Ling'er, then at the dark room, and couldn't help walking straight forward in a feeling of boredom.

"Hey, my lord, and..."

"Get out." Nie Wuhuan shouted in a low voice.

Xiao Ling'er froze in shock, stuck out her tongue, turned and went out.

In the room, footsteps could be heard approaching, Su Jiu slowly appeared holding a red candle, "My lord, please!"

When Nie Wuhuan raised his head, he saw the moon-like figure in front of him, with a slender waist and thin girdle, he was really fascinated.

Today she specially wore that pink long dress that he loves so much. The hem is winding down to the ground, like a swaying red peony in full bloom. The dress is embroidered with delicate patterns, matching Su Jiu's body, it is extremely elegant dignified.

Holding hands by Su Jiu, he walked forward in a daze, and saw two flickering red candles on a table, two transparent cups filled with red liquid, and there were only two pieces on the other party's plate. Grilled steak.

He was stunned.

Su Jiu smiled mysteriously, pushed him to sit on one side, and sat on the other side, facing him, "My lord, do you like it?"

Nie Wuhuan couldn't help trembling all over, feeling that something was quietly passing into his body, itching slightly, his whole heart and lungs were itching.

The atmosphere is so raw—ambiguous.

"I like it." Nie Wuhuan looked at her with a slightly hoarse voice.

"It's called a candlelight dinner. Only couples eat like this in our place. Although the sentiment is a bit wrong, you and I can be considered husband and wife, so let's consider it a gift before parting! Your lord..."

"Ahem, uh, I'm here."

"Cheers!" Su Jiu raised his wine glass and lightly touched his wine glass. The crisp sound was very similar to Su Jiu's words at the moment, and it kept echoing in his ears.
