Chapter Seventy-Eight: Heart-to-Heart Talk on the Mountaintop
Deng Yu stepped forward and led the chasing wind out of the back door out of the palace, he turned over and got on the horse and acted extremely chicly, Liu Xuan who was watching was fascinated again, seeing Liu Xuan's adoring gaze, the corner of Deng Yu's mouth raised and stretched out a hand towards her.
Liu Xuan handed her hand, and Deng Yu gently carried her on horseback and sat in front of him.
As soon as Liu Xuan sat down Deng Yu took the reins of the horse and encircled her in his arms, Liu Xuan had never been so close to a man, and her intuition was a little shy, but before her shyness rose to her cheeks, she heard Deng Yu's voice ringing in her ears: "Sit tight." Then there was a 'driving' sound, chasing the wind and running wildly.
The whirring wind whistled in her ears and raised Liu Xuan's hair, she had never experienced such a galloping feeling, she was a little frightened at the moment, and hurriedly turned around and hugged Deng Yu's waist tightly, Deng Yu smiled at the corners of her mouth and looked at her eyes that were closed because of fear and couldn't help but tease: "What are you afraid of, this fashion is in the city, and chasing the wind has not yet been fully developed." ”
Hearing the teasing meaning in his words, Liu Xuan opened her eyes unadmittedly and looked, although she opened her eyes, she held Deng Yu's hand but never let go of half a minute, feeling the arms around her waist, Deng Yu raised the corners of her lips and did not speak again.
The back door of the palace is very close to the west city gate, the west city is a secluded place, I have never seen anyone along the way, Deng Yu's mask is a symbol of identity, he took Liu Xuan to ride the wind all the way non-stop, and the guards did not stop him when passing by the city gate, it can be seen that Deng Yu riding out of the city is a common thing.
After leaving the city gate, Deng Yu did not speed up until he came to the flat and quiet suburbs after three miles, and then he clamped the horse's belly and crossed it, and Liu Xuan had already adapted to it after this journey. Chasing the wind and running wildly, she did not feel as frightened as at the beginning, but was a little excited.
She felt the pleasure of the wind speeding on the horse. Feeling the pride of galloping the world, she even gradually let go of the hand holding Deng Yu's waist. Open your arms to welcome the sunset scenery.
Deng Yu took her to a hillside before stopping, he got off the horse and reached out to help Liu Xuan get off the ground.
After Liu Xuan landed, she slightly combed her windswept hair, and said with a smile: "Today is really the fastest day I have ever lived." ”
Deng Yu stood on the hillside and looked down quietly, at this moment he had a different silence from the past, and when he heard Liu Xuan's words, he said lightly: "In the past, when the lord was in a bad mood, he came here to take a look, and it was good to look at the mood." ”
Liu Xuan knew that it was really inappropriate for her to disturb the scenery at this time, but she still couldn't help muttering: "I thought you would yell when you were in a bad mood, and you will be in a good mood after yelling." ”
Deng Yu's original rare silence was instantly made disappear by Liu Xuan's words, and he seemed to be amused. Said to Liu Xuan: "In your eyes, you can only roar?" ”
Liu Xuan nodded very unceremoniously, in exchange for Deng Yu's finger on his head, Liu Xuan exaggeratedly covered the place where he had knocked and stared at him, Deng Yu looked quietly, and suddenly said: "You are not allowed to enter Li Che's backyard before you come back." ”
Liu Xuan put down her hand and tilted her head slightly: "Can you wait for you to come back?" ”
Deng Yu was stunned and only looked at her but didn't answer, Liu Xuan stuck out her tongue at him with a playful look: "I haven't thought about it yet, anyway, my current attitude is casual, I remember how good he is to me, I don't know what will happen in the future." But to tell you the truth, if I were to go into his backyard and compete with many women, I would not do it. ”
Deng Yu nodded and looked at her with a rare seriousness: "With a temperament like you, he doesn't dare to accept it now." ”
Liu Xuan wanted to refute. After thinking about it, she finally nodded in agreement with his words, and she smiled: "That's why he let me go to Beijing by myself, thinking that he had sharpened my temperament all the way." But I never thought that I would meet you, but this temperament has not been worn away. I'm bolder than ever. ”
Speaking of this, she winked at Deng Yu, with a slight smugness: "Do you say that he is very remorseful in his heart." If he had taken me back to the capital directly, he would have entered his backyard according to my thoughts at the time, why would he be so tossed today. ”
"I'm afraid he doesn't regret it." Deng Yu saw it clearly: "Li Che's guy knows very well, he is good at making yin people willing to do things for him, he disdains you and uses force, what he wants is your willingness." ”
Liu Xuan nodded in agreement when he heard this: "An arrogant person like him really disdains to use force." She looked at Deng Yu with a puzzled expression: "I see that you know him very well, although you are dissatisfied with his actions, you are still slightly respectful, but why do you always go against him?" ”
Deng Yu snorted heavily and said a typical Deng Yu quotation: "Ye just doesn't like him, Ye just wants to go against him." ”
"Then you are good to me just because you want to go against him?"
Deng Yu looked at Liu Xuan when he heard this, only to see that although she was smiling, there was inquiry and seriousness in her eyes, Deng Yu tilted his head slightly, and denied it a little uncomfortably: "No." ”
Liu Xuan insisted on asking: "Why is that?" ”
Deng Yu was silent for a while, and suddenly looked back at her, as if he was a little annoyed and angry, and yelled at her: "If you want to be good to you, you will be good to you, how can there be so many whys, anyway, you know that it is not because of Li Che's sake!" ”
Liu Xuan touched her nose and muttered in a low voice: "I know, I know, can't you stop yelling at me?" ”
Deng Yu's body stiffened when he heard this, and then he snorted very arrogantly, took two steps forward, tied the reins of chasing the wind to a tree, waved his robe and sat down, took the mask and threw it aside, and casually pulled a dog's tail grass on the side and held it in his mouth.
The demonic face suddenly became a little cynical.
Liu Xuan sat down beside him, and also followed his example and pulled a dog's tail grass and put it in his mouth, Deng Yu couldn't help but glare: "You are a woman, how can you be so vulgar." ”
Liu Xuan rolled her eyes at him: "I'm so rude, what can you do to me?" ”
Deng Yu looked at her helplessly and lay down on her back: "Ye can't do anything to you, but you still don't want others to look at you, I heard that Mrs. Liu wants to accept you as a righteous daughter, but he is the most pedantic etiquette when the court is the master of the court, if you look like this and he sees it, don't say that it is a righteous daughter." I'm afraid that you don't even want to enter the door of his Taifu's mansion. ”
"You've inquired clearly." Liu Xuan looked at Deng Yu's demonic face condescendingly with grass in her mouth: "Since you know that Mrs. Liu wants to accept me as a righteous daughter, you should also know that he intends to hand over all the properties under his name to me." ”
This he naturally said was Li Che. Deng Yu replied, he glanced at Liu Xuan and said, "Li Che's mind is unfathomable. Don't be deceived by his methods, the Li Dynasty was not prosperous at the beginning, the treasury was empty, and the Liao State made it every year, and the annual profits of Li Che's industries were subsidized by the treasury, in this case, he suddenly handed over all the properties to you, I am afraid that it is not just to please you. ”
Liu Xuan was slightly stunned, she really didn't know this, she frowned and asked, "What does it mean for you to do this?" ”
Deng Yu put his hands behind his head and shook his head slightly to show that he didn't know: "No matter what." He handed over the property to you, it is a good thing for you, the capital is not better than elsewhere, you have some property and then be accepted by Mrs. Liu as a righteous daughter, this capital you are standing firm, he is really doing this for your good, you don't have to be too entangled in his deep meaning, when you take over his industry, his thoughts will be told to you. ”
Liu Xuan sneered: "You obviously like to go against him." Why, again, did he say good things for him? ”
Deng Yu glared at her: "Ye is such a stingy person? How it should be is how it is, and the master disdains to do such a villain path that is slandered behind his back. "Yes, yes, you are a man's husband, and you are my villain." Liu Xuan followed his words and said, "But I'm a little girl. Since ancient times, it has been said that only women and villains are difficult to raise. ”
Deng Yu glanced at her, and the look clearly expressed her approval, and Liu Xuan was not laughing or laughing when she was made angry by his eyes. In the end, she had to look into the distance to relieve the depression in her heart, and she didn't speak. Deng Yu also looked in the distance in a daze, and there was silence between the two.
The two of them were alone. It should be embarrassing to be silent, but there is no embarrassment between them, but there is an indescribable tranquility and beauty, the two just sit like this, quietly watching the sunset.
When the sun was about to set completely, Deng Yu got up and said, "I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back." ”
Liu Xuan also got up and nodded, abandoning the dog's tail grass in her mouth: "You take me on a horse today, and I'll cook some food tonight to treat you, okay?" ”
Deng Yu put the mask on his face: "The lord took you on a horse not to let you repay you, but since you have such filial piety, the lord reluctantly accepted it." ”
Liu Xuan watched him turn over and get on the horse, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly: "Actually, you don't have to be so 'reluctant'." ”
Deng Yu turned a deaf ear to her words, stretched out his hand to drag her to the horse, took the reins and encircled her in his arms: "Lord just wants to 'make it difficult' today." ”
After he finished speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly, and chased the wind, and suddenly opened his hooves and galloped down the mountain.
Deng Yu took Chasing Feng back to King Ning's Mansion to settle down, and then took Liu Xuan back to her residence at a gallop.
Liu Xuan asked Deng Yu to wait at the stone table in the courtyard, afraid that he would be impatient to wait, so he found him a military book for him to read, and called Qiu Ju to serve tea, Liu Xuan wanted Qiu Ju to serve him on the side, but he remembered that this person was impatient with the woman on the side, so he gave up.
She made all the arrangements, but Deng Yu, the uncle, didn't buy it, he threw the military book aside with a suspicious look, and looked Liu Xuan up and down: "Do you really know how to cook?" It's not going to be for someone to do it and then serve it up to fool the master, right? ”
Liu Xuan was annoyed by his suspicious tone: "Guy who doesn't know the hearts of good people, if you don't believe it, you can watch from the sidelines and see if I will fool you!" ”
Since ancient times, Liu Xuan thought that Deng Yu would not go at all, but Deng Yu nodded and agreed, looking at Liu Xuan's stunned look, Deng Yu didn't care and said: "It's inconvenient to march outside, even if the master will occasionally cook some dry food by himself." ”
Liu Xuan never thought that you would be the son of the world, Deng Yu actually had a time to do it himself, which showed the danger of the battlefield, thinking of this, looking at Deng Yu's eyes with a little admiration, she led Deng Yu towards the small kitchen: "In that case, you can come together." ”
The two entered the small kitchen and startled the servants, Liu Xuan waved his hand and retreated the servants, leaving only a fireman who lit the fire, and then began to pick and choose in the kitchen.
After picking the vegetables, Liu Xuan threw the sorted dishes into the basin to be cleaned, and before she stepped forward, she saw Deng Yu rolling up her sleeves and squatting in front of the basin, Liu Xuan was stunned to see Deng Yu washing the dishes one by one in the basin with her slender fingers, and she didn't know how to feel for a while, Deng Yu washed a dish and put it in a clean bamboo sieve on the side, and handed it aside.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see Liu Xuan take it, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at her, and saw her looking at himself in a daze, Deng Yu coughed lightly: "What are you doing, my lord is hungry." ”
He was accustomed to saying this with a slight low roar, Liu Xuan came back to his senses and looked at him a little uncomfortable, smiled and took the bamboo sieve, and went to the stove without saying anything.
It's just that when she is chopping vegetables, she will turn her head from time to time, and look at the figure who is obviously extravagant, but she is washing vegetables with a low body, and the smile on her lips has not faded for a long time.
As soon as everything was washed, the speed was much faster, Deng Yu looked at Liu Xuan's skillful side dishes, and then put down the pot and turned the spoon, and murmured: "You really know how to cook." ”
Liu Xuan was stir-frying when she heard his muttering and turned around with a low smile: "You are allowed to wash the vegetables, but I am not allowed to cook?" When I was in Yizhou, my fragrance was the best restaurant in Yizhou. ”
Today, when she mentions a pint of incense, her eyes are full of pride, and there is no longer the desolation in the past.
Deng Yu didn't open his mouth and stood aside silently to watch, Liu Xuan stir-fried vegetables and found that the salt and other seasonings were far away, so he said to him: "Bring the salt." ”
For Liu Xuan to do things by himself, Deng Yu didn't seem to notice that there was anything wrong, and silently handed over the salt according to Liu Xuan's instructions.
There are one and two, Deng Yu has become Liu Xuan's hand, Liu Xuan will support him to take this, and he will support him to take that, a support envoy is cheerful and diligent, neither of them seems to feel inappropriate, under the joint efforts of the two, it will not take long for four dishes and one soup to be ready.
Liu Xuan cleaned her hand and called the servants to let them send the four dishes and one soup to her courtyard, and she and Deng Yu took the lead in walking to the courtyard.
At this time, the sky was dark, and several lanterns had been hung in Liu Xuan's courtyard for lighting, Liu Xuan and Deng Yu sat down at the stone table face to face.
Deng Yu looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly said, "How can you do without food and wine." Liu Xuan just wanted to say that he didn't know how to drink, but he heard Deng Yu calling: "Shenyi, take the pear blossoms that my master hid under the tree in the courtyard." ”
The void heard the sound of reply, and Liu Xuan wanted to stop it too late, so he had to drink less in secret. (To be continued......)
