212 Maitreya

After the wild goose returned to the mountain for a picnic, Turandot officially joined Su You's team as a red whisk maid, but she and Su You each took a carriage, and there was no special intersection along the way, but she came to Yanbei and Su You like glue and became more intimate.

Stop-and-go, should be sharpened, should be staying, needless to say, when Su You and the others returned to the Eastern Capital, it was more than twenty days later.

It's just October and the first snow is already falling down.

Su You and the others quietly entered the Eastern Capital from the north gate, and after crossing the Luo River, they began to part ways, first Cheng Biting Jin returned to his heart and left the team like an arrow, and then Li Jing and his wife took Turandot and her maid home, Su You watched them leave one by one, and had to tell Xiao Jiu and Qing Jing and others to go back to clean up first, and he wanted to send Yanbei home first.

The early return of Yanbei did not surprise several sisters-in-law, because Yang Guang's team on the northern tour will return in a few days, and the "Reference News" has already spread the news about this matter, naturally, the newspaper said more about how Yang Guang was in the grassland some time ago to impress the leaders of the grassland and be worshiped by the people of the various departments.

After Yang Guang's northern tour, most of Qiao Lingze's underground forces have been occupied by the white-clothed Maitreya, and the sources of "Dongdu News" have suffered heavy setbacks, and her influence has slowly been suppressed by "Reference News".

During this time, several newspapers have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, Zu Junyan has left the "Dongdu News" to find another job, Liu Weimin and others are under great pressure, but the newspaper industry in the Dongdu has entered an era of contention.

These things were something that Su You had never thought about before, and at this time, he couldn't help but sigh when he heard a few sisters-in-law who came to Yanbei chatter about some strange stories about the Eastern Capital.

As for the fact that she was given a marriage in Yanbei, it shocked her sisters-in-law a little; However, the fact that she and Su You are in love is also well known, but Laihu'er has not returned at this time, and there is no old man in Su You's family, so the marriage date cannot be determined for a while.

In this era, the marriage is based on three books and six rites, and the six rites are the six steps of a marriage from scratch, which are "Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and welcoming in person".

"Nacai" is the first of the six rites, which can be regarded as the initial intention stage. The man wants to marry the woman, and the man sends the matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage and give gifts to propose.

If the woman preliminarily agrees, she will give the matchmaker the name and birth date of her girl. Then the man asks the fortune teller to see if the two sides will make a mistake, which is called "asking for a name". If everyone comes together, the man sends the matchmaker to the woman's house to give a small gift and inform the woman's family that the marriage can be continued, which is called "Najib." ”

The love between Lai Yanbei and Su You is not suitable for substitution into the six rites of ancient marriage customs, and the two of them can directly enter the stage of "acceptance" because of Yang Guang's care. "Na Zheng" is actually an engagement, once they are engaged, they will be regarded as Su You's people when they come to Yanbei, but it is not so easy for the two of them to meet before they get married.

Marrying Su You is what she hopes for when she comes to Yanbei, and she knows that it will be sooner or later, but when this matter comes up on the agenda, it still makes her shy. In the same way, she also wanted to be involved in everything Su You did, and she had already learned what Yang Guang had kicked her and Empress Xiao out for that day.

How could she rest assured that Su You would deal with the white-clothed Maitreya alone?

Moreover, since Su You told the poignant legend about the wild goose before the wild goose returned to the mountain, he has become an active member of the wild goose protection association; The geese in the marriage custom can be replaced by geese, but every time she thinks of the four pairs of loving geese who broke up because of her marriage, she can't help but feel heartache.

Because of this, she is always a little inexplicably resistant to getting engaged now, and she doesn't want to talk about it more.

How does Su You know what cold feet are before marriage? He always thought that he came to Yanbei to be happy for this belated marriage, after all, they were not young.

Finally returned to the Eastern Capital, Su You originally thought that he would have more time to linger with Laiyanbei, but after Laiyanbei arrived home, there was no way to let go, Su You didn't dare to be greedy, thinking that the evil fire in his heart could only go home and pour a few more pots of cold water, he now has more expectations for getting married.

After a bit of brotherly desire, Su You said goodbye to Lai Yanbei, and the inseparable waving of the two in the snow was undoubtedly another scenery.

It has been nearly five months since Su You left the Eastern Capital, and although it is snowy today, the flow of people in the Eastern Capital is still no less than any city in this era; He has lived in the city for a long time, and only in Chang'an and Dongdu can he taste a trace of long-lost modern atmosphere, but the evil curfew system can always blow the pleasure of climbing to a climax alive, just like every time Su You and Lai Yanbei secretly intimagin.

After Su You came out of Yanbei's house, he remembered the appointment with Wang Xuan in the Eastern Capital, but he quickly thought that this was actually just his wishful thinking, Wang Xuan did not promise that he must come to the Eastern Capital, in fact, he had chosen his own path since he said goodbye to Su You that day.

Su You took the letter sent by Wang Xuan from afar, and could only silently bless him, as for the "later period" in the letter, he could only silently choose to believe it.

Since he couldn't wait for Wang Xuan, Su You could only pin his greater hopes on Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin.

Su You habitually picked up "Dongdu News", but what he was thinking about was his vision and worry about the future.

Getting married to Yanbei is naturally a top priority, but this is also not in a hurry, even if this matter is prepared from tomorrow, it will take at least ten days and a half months to get married; The most important thing is that Laihu'er has not yet turned around at the moment, and there is no old man in the Su You family to help handle these things, so he can't come in a hurry if he wants to.

In addition to the marriage, Su You did not forget his mission to return early, but he never regarded the investigation of Bai Mingda as an easy matter, and people with ulterior motives must have known that Su You had returned to the Eastern Capital; In the past five months, the white-clothed Maitreya is not what it used to be, and at this time, the forces that came to Yanbei's house want to get their news lightly, but I am afraid that it is already a fool's dream, as for where to start, this is really a headache.

Bai Mingda has no way to start the investigation, all Su You can do is toss in his own acres and threes, he now wants to meet the Bi Yunting brothers as soon as possible to see how much money he has made from the business he handed over to them to take care of, and he also wants to complete their lifelong events for Qingjing Xiaojiu and a few little girls.

After all, they're not small anymore.

When Su You was thinking nonsense, he heard a few hurried knocks at the door, he frowned, and still asked, "Who?" ”

"Sir, it's me." The person who came answered, and he had already pushed the door and walked in, it was Cheng Yanjin, who had just left Su You for less than an hour.

"Biting gold, what's wrong?" Su You pointed to the soft couch on the side, and said a nonsense politely, Cheng Biting King Kong returned from the desert with meritorious deeds, the normal situation should be to show off in front of his parents, theoretically, he should stay at home for at least a day or two before coming out.

The freshly lit fire in the house didn't bring much heat to Su You, but Cheng Yanjin, who had just come off the horse, was sweating profusely, he wiped the sweat with his sleeve, and nodded hard, but he didn't know where to start.

"What?" Su You saw that Cheng Biting Jin was not seated, so he stood up and patted him on the shoulder, and asked again with a pleasant face.

"My father is sick." Cheng Yanjin said four words a little dejectedly.

"Very strict?" Su You looked at Cheng Yanjin, he really couldn't do anything about being sick or something.

"It's not." Cheng Yanjin shook his head, these two words had already relieved Su You, but he immediately added, "But why is he unwilling to take medicine." ”

Su You didn't think there was anything strict about this, and there were more people who didn't take medicine in order to save some money, but listening to Cheng Yanjin talking anxiously, he still pulled him and comforted, "It's okay, I'll take a look, let's talk on the way." ”

Cheng Yanjin listened to Su You accompany him home, and then he put down his hand as if he had taken a reassuring pill. Su You turned around to get his clothes, while Cheng Yanjin went to Lao Wang to drive with ease, and the two quickly got into the carriage that went to Cheng Yanjin's house.

After listening to Cheng Yanjin's description of his father in the car, Su You slowly frowned.

Cheng Yanjin's father is not lightly ill, he is not only sick now and does not take medicine, but more importantly, he has also scattered all his family wealth, and when he has nothing to do, he shouts "believe in Maitreya and get eternal life".

"Maitreya in white?" When Su You heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and immediately tens of thousands of alpacas spread their wings like doves of peace.

The two got out of the carriage and entered Cheng's house, Su You saw Cheng's father with a withered face at a glance, and Cheng's mother with tearful eyes. Su You handed the gift in his hand to Cheng's mother and asked carefully, "How long has my brother been sick?" ”

Before Cheng's mother could answer, Cheng's father glared at Su You and argued, "I'm not sick, which eye did you see that I was sick?" The tone is fierce, but there is an obvious lack of middle breath.

Su You shook his head helplessly, discussing with those patients who were bewitched by the cult whether he was sick or not, and discussing with the drunks whether he was drunk or not. He directly ignored Cheng's father and said directly to Cheng Yanjin's mother, "Sister-in-law, take a step to speak." He also instructed Cheng to bite Jin Dao, "You are optimistic about your father." ”

Cheng's mother nodded, and before she could leave with Su You, she heard Cheng's father say with a smile, "I think you and the bite of gold are sick, it just so happens that Maitreya has recently come to transform people who are destined, I ask them to help you."

"Maitreya? Where are they? After Su You listened to Cheng Biting Jin's father's words, his eyes lit up, if the person who bewitched him was really the white-clothed Maitreya, this was not a breakthrough in the investigation of the white-clothed Maitreya.

"They're naturally in Elysium, and I'm still a mortal to go to them? However, they made a great wish to make great merits, and they would come from time to time to save their fate, and they would come every ten days. Father Cheng heard that Su You was interested in Maitreya, and immediately spoke with great interest, and the worship in his mouth naturally flowed, which made the latter feel cold.

"Fate? Who did they save? Su You continued to ask inexplicably.

"In addition to the districts, there are also Boss Chen from Wudaokou, Li Yuan from Baishiqiao, and Mo Gong from Jiangxi Road" Cheng's father immediately became excited, and counted his fellow Taoists with his fingers.

"These are big deals." Cheng Yanjin added.

Su You nodded, and suddenly thought of the great monks who opened the light to women in later generations, "Degree" and "Enlightenment" are really similar; It's just that one is for sex, and the other is for money.
