Chapter Thirty-Seven: Living Up to Youth

The expected revenge did not come, and in Qin Kan's anxious waiting, Tong Zhen, the prefect of Shaoxing, actually came to Shanyin County with his son Daming.

Walking through the second hall as if no one was around, Tong Yinglong even smiled demonstratively at Qin Kan who was standing at the door of the office room.

Tong Zhen is here to change the wedding date this time.

Tong Yinglong is not stupid, he will not do anything that is at the end of the matter, as long as he marries Du Yan first, this matter will be settled, for him, marrying Du Yan, a beautiful girl, is the top priority, as for Qin Kan......

In his eyes, Qin Kan is just a speck of dust, he can blow it away whenever he wants, but the wedding date must be advanced, otherwise these two people will do anything to make him lose face every day.

Tong Zhen is such a precious son, she is spoiled tightly on weekdays, and Tong Zhen agreed very happily to her son's request.

The reason for changing the wedding date is very nonsense, saying that it has been calculated by a fortune teller, and it is better to marry on the eighteenth day of this month, which is more auspicious than the original date three months later.

Although Du Hong was a little reluctant to marry his daughter, he nodded and agreed.

One family matter has already been decided, and it will be done sooner or later, Tong Zhen is the prefect and his immediate boss, there is no need to disobey him for this matter, and the other is ...... Du Hong is not blind, he can see that his daughter is emotionally attached to Qin Kan, and he runs out of the house with Qin Kan every day to play around, Du Hong is really worried that his daughter and Qin Kan will humiliate the Du family's style, at that time, he, the magistrate, really can't raise his head in Shanyin, so the untimely children's feelings should be pinched early.

Du Hong admires Qin Kan and is grateful to Qin Kan, but Qin Kan's identity is a barrier after all, and liking this young man does not mean that Du Hong will accept him as his son-in-law.

The two sides talked very happily, although it was a little hasty, but the two sides did not object, and agreed that ten days later, the Tong and Du families would marry Qin and Jin.

Before I knew it, nine days passed.

In the past nine days, Qin Kan's life has been no different from the past.

Every day in the yamen, come back in the evening to make a few novel and unique dishes, the little grandfather Xu Pengju ate heartily, shouted happily, and then with Tang Yin, Xu Pengju sat and drank a few glasses of wine, chatting about some fresh topics they had never heard of, such as we live on a ball, we are not the center of the world, hundreds of years later there is a thing that can carry people in the sky, fly fast and far, from Nanjing to Beijing in half an hour......

Xu Pengju and Tang Yin only thought that Qin Kan was talking drunk, and the three of them dispersed when they were almost drunk.

After getting along with Xu Xu Pengju for nearly 20 days, Qin Kan found that the little grandfather was actually a very straightforward person, except for a little temper, everything else was good, even his attitude towards Qin Kan and Tang Yin had changed a lot these days, he even liked to make some innocuous jokes with Qin Kan, Qin Kan's poisonous mouth occasionally stabbed him twice, he was not angry, and laughed.

It's good, everything is good.

It's just that Qin Kan has a lump of depressed qi in his heart, it seems to be blocked in his trachea, and he can't even breathe comfortably.

The little eight women are about to get married, the woman who jumps in the sun, the woman who releases the paper kite by the river embankment, the woman who tears off the twine with her own hands and makes the paper kite free......

It's hard to imagine what she will look like after she marries a wife, and it's hard to imagine a woman who loves to laugh, play and make trouble, and can only sit at home gently and virtuously in the future, and can't even go out of the inner courtyard, and will be a quiet husband and children from now on.

A woman who loves freedom so much, she ...... Would you like to live like this?

…………

…………

Bang!

The door was rudely kicked open again.

Du Yan, who was dressed in a light green skirt, stood at the door panting, staring at him stupidly.

Qin Kan was stunned for a moment and sighed, "Why do you like everyone to visit me in this way?" Can't you just Sven point? ”…,

Du Yan's eyes were red, and she bit her lower lip and said, "Qin Kan, I ran out secretly." ”

Qin Kanleng was stunned: "You want to run away from marriage?" ”

Du Yan smiled sadly: "How dare I do such an unfilial thing? If I escape, how will my father deal with himself in the future? ”

"Isn't tomorrow the day you get married? What are you running out to do? ”

Du Yan stared at him, her beautiful eyes did not blink, the affection in her eyes could even be understood by a fool, and gradually, her eyes were filled with tears, and finally like a pearl with a broken thread, shattered and crystalline.

Qin Kan sighed gloomily, his mind was very chaotic, he liked or sympathized, he regretted or couldn't bear it, and he still hadn't straightened out these complicated emotions.

"Qin Kan, I worked hard to sneak out, so I just wanted to see you, and then tell you two words......"

“…… First, I don't want to get married, especially I don't want to marry the son of the governor of Tong, Tong Yinglong is not a good person, and the people in the whole Shaoxing City know the Tao. ”

“…… Second, I have always believed in you, even if you say that the sun in the sky is square, I believe it, Qin Kan, you have always been a person with a way, as long as you are willing, you will definitely make my marriage unsuccessful, you ...... Would you like to? ”

Du Yan's burning gaze seemed to melt him.

Qin Kan hung his head and was silent.

Du Yan waited for a long time, but she couldn't wait for the answer she wanted.

Closing her eyes and letting her tears flow, Du Yan suddenly found that she couldn't feel heartache anymore, because her heart was dead.

"Qin Kan, in your lifetime, have you ever done something crazy but don't let yourself regret?" Du Yan looked at him with tears in her eyes, he was far away from her, like a mist through the sea, distant and vague.

"That's it, I'm leaving."

The dark fragrance faded away, and there was no trace of Yi, and only a faint sigh lingered in the room.

Qin Kan still maintained his posture, time passed slowly, but he seemed to have turned into a sculpture without thought or mood.

Du Yan's words as he left sadly kept ringing in his ears.

"Qin Kan, in your lifetime, have you ever done something crazy but don't let yourself regret?"

Have you done it?

Ask yourself, he has always lived in his sanity, he has never done a single crazy thing in two lives, maybe ...... This is the first one.

Qin Kan stared at the floor at the door, where there were two tears shed by a woman for him, the floor had already melted into a tiny water stain, but he still felt salty and bitter in his heart, those two tears were dripping on his heart.

Qin Kan looked at the water stain stupidly and laughed silently.

I'm only nineteen years old, and I'm at the age when I'm crazy, reckless, and causing trouble everywhere, what are I afraid of? What is there in this world that I should be afraid of? If you don't go crazy, how can you be worthy of your second youth? Is it still like in the previous life, can only leave three or two regretful things in the memory?

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Xu Pengju sighed heavily: "I've been listening to it at the door for a long time, Qin Kan, I have to say, you are really hard-hearted, such a beautiful woman put down her face and begged you, you still don't move, tsk...... You have become a Buddha. ”

"The Buddha can break the mortal mind, but I can't break it." Qin Kan shook his head slowly.

Xu Peng squinted at him: "That girl is going to get married tomorrow, what about you?" What are you going to do? ”

Qin Kan was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "I plan to change rooms with the little grandfather, get drunk, and continue to be my ......master tomorrow."

Xu Pengju was stunned: "This is the only thing you want to do now?" But...... Why do you want to change rooms with me? ”

A firm smile flashed in Qin Kan's eyes, but he still sighed and said, "In this room, there were just two tears left by that girl......

Pointing to the floor at the door: "Right there, as soon as I saw those two tears, my heart hurt so much that I couldn't breathe......"...,

Looking at Xu Pengju gloomily, Qin Kan's eyes were full of sadness: "The little grandfather will definitely not help me, a civilian, to get ahead, right?" Although the Duke of Wei is favored by heaven in the world, if he provokes the prefect of a city for no reason, he must definitely cause a lot of trouble to the Guogong Mansion, right? ”

Xu Pengju nodded: "Although the master looks at you very pleasantly, I can't help you with this favor." ”

"So, the little grandfather and I will change rooms and sleep for one night, at least let me feel less sad, can this busy little grandfather help?"

"That's fine."

Xu Pengju agreed very happily, originally because he couldn't help Qin Kan, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and he naturally couldn't refuse Qin Kan's small request.

On the second floor of the Qin Kan Inn, Xu Pengju and the guards dominated the third floor, and the little grandfather said hello, and the guards moved all the personal belongings in the little grandfather's room.

Qin Kan's expression remained sad, and no one noticed a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Little Ba Po, Tong Yinglong, I'm very sorry, your wedding is yellow!

Since he has made up his mind, he wants to kill the enemy in one move, and the truth that if he fights the snake and does not die, he will be devoured by it, Qin Kan understands it better than anyone else.

Day 10.

On March 18, it is advisable to marry, travel, avoid sacrifices, and become peaceful.

The city of Shaoxing is full of joy.

Today, the son of Shaoxing prefect Tong Yinglong married his wife, and Du Hong married his daughter in Shanyin Zhixian County, early in the morning, the people of Tong Mansion gave porridge to beggars along the street, and distributed pastries and peanuts to passers-by.

The preliminary procedures such as Nacai and asking for names have been carried out a few days ago, and today we are officially welcomed.

In the evening, the sedan chair of Tong Mansion went out, and the team of welcoming relatives blew suona, beat the happy drum, and went out of the door, Tong Yinglong was dressed in a red wedding robe, with winged palace flowers on his hat, riding a high-headed horse, and a festive face.

Du Yan, who was covered with a red hijab, was carefully helped out by the bride and put on a sedan chair.

The welcoming team went to Tong's mansion.

Tong Yinglong is very happy, this day has been peaceful, the original worry in his heart gradually disappeared, as long as the sedan chair arrived in front of the Tong Mansion, Du Yan stepped into the gate of the Tong Mansion, everything was settled, this charming beauty has been surnamed Tong since then.

As for Qin Kan's broken scholar...... Tomorrow ask someone to abolish one of his legs and throw him back to Qinzhuang, or...... Why don't you put on a sack and sink into the Fu River?

The corners of Tong Yinglong's mouth grinned even wider, he felt like a god, controlling the life and death of living beings.

The team walked in a hurry, and now they have walked to the West City Gate, the entrance of Mashi Street, the place where Qin Kan had just entered the city and had his money bag stolen, and the place where Qin Kan and Du Yan met.

There are a lot of lively people, and the prefect and the county are married, which is naturally a major event in Shaoxing City.

The suona is blowing unwillingly, the gongs and drums are beating hard, and the festive cannons are beating one after another.

Looking at the lively crowd, someone suddenly shouted at the sedan chair from afar.

"Du Yan, in your lifetime, don't do anything regretful, what are you waiting for?"

Hearing such a familiar and annoying voice, Tong Yinglong's smile on the horse immediately froze.

Under the stunned gaze of the surrounding crowd, the sedan chair paused slightly, and then as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, it was torn apart in the blink of an eye, sawdust and wooden planks flew sideways, and the eight sedan chair drivers who carried the sedan chair screamed in fright and hugged their heads.

Du Yan was wearing a red bijia and a red dress, her hijab was thrown somewhere, she stood proudly in the middle of the street with a phoenix crown, her left hand clenched into a fist, her right hand turned into a palm, and with a coquettish sound, her tall body had risen into the air, and a dragon swing tail in mid-air, and the dazzling wooden sign that read "Kiss" had been kicked and broken by her.

Suddenly changed, Tong Yinglong rode on the horse, completely stunned.

The welcoming procession was chaotic, mixed with the people watching the excitement, and the crowd couldn't tell who was who, screaming and pushing each other. …,

Only a young man, dressed in an ordinary blue robe, stood still in the crowd, quietly staring at the fiery red figure.

Du Yan stood in front of Qin Kan with a phoenix crown, tears of joy couldn't stop slipping, but a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

"You're finally here, I'm waiting for this moment, waiting for your words."

Qin Kan was also laughing: "You owe me two hundred taels of silver and haven't paid it back, if you become a relative, who will I ask for?" ”

In the chaos, Tong Yinglong was full of excitement, and finally came back to his senses, looking at the two people standing opposite each other not far away, Tong Yinglong's face turned pale, and he rode on a horse and pointed at Du Yan angrily, shouting: "Du Yan, you have to understand the consequences of today's actions!" ”

Du Yanqiao's face changed, and she was a little pale.

Qin Kan smiled, his eyes were extremely firm: "Trust me." ”

Du Yan looked at his gaze, Qin Kan's eyes were full of safety and tranquility, as if he had rejected the red dust.

After a long time, Du Yan smiled at him: "I believe in you." ”

"Let's go, let's go back to the inn." Qin Kan turned his head before leaving, threw a mocking glance at Tong Yinglong, and then took Du Yan's hand, and ran away with a smile.

When you are drunk, you sing wildly and laugh when you wake up, don't live up to your youth.

The street was already in chaos, and Qin Kan and Du Yan quickly ran back to the room on the third floor of the inn.

Closing the door hard, the two of them were so tired that they bent down, gasping for breath, looking at each other in pairs, smiling, laughing louder and louder, more and more cheerful.

The speed of Tong Yinglong's retaliation was astonishing.

At half a pillar of incense, his angry shouts came from downstairs of the inn: "Did the two sluts, a man and a woman, come back just now?" ”

The innkeeper trembled: "I'm back, I'm ...... upstairs"

"Come on, rush up with me, abolish that kid, I'll take care of everything!"

Du Yan listened to Tong Yinglong's angry roar, her face turned pale, and her hands were clenched into fists.

"Qin Kan, today I fight to the death and swear to protect you."

Qin Kan smiled: "I don't need you to work hard, others will help me work hard." ”

While the two were talking, Tong Yinglong had already led people to rush to the room on the second floor.

Tong Yinglong came to Qin Kan, and he knew that Qin Kan lived on the second floor.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Qin Kan and Xu Pengju had changed rooms last night, and at this moment, in the room on the second floor, there was a little grandfather.

When a group of people stomped upstairs, Xu Pengju's guards had already drawn their swords.

"Who dares to trespass......

"Call me!" Tong Yinglong, who lost his mind, yelled.

Then there was a chaotic sound of knives, guns and sticks, and in the chaos, Xu Peng's angry scolding came.

"Damn, it's the other way around! How dare you hit me, ah-"

"Little grandfather!"

"Little grandpa, you're fine, right?"

…………

…………

Qin Kan and Du Yan on the third floor listened quietly to the movement downstairs, and for a long time, Qin Kan sighed: "Governor Tong, it's over." ”

At night, the weather is as cool as water.

The study of the Wei Mansion in Nanjing.

The sixth generation of Wei Gong Xu Li, the word Gongfu, has been ordered by the emperor to guard Nanjing for 39 years, although he is old, he can be in good spirits.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the study, and the old housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion said respectfully and eagerly: "Master, it's not good. ”

"What?"

"The guards beside Young Master Sun just flew pigeons to deliver a message, and Young Master Sun was beaten in Shaoxing."

Xu Li raised his head and said in shock: "Beaten? Hit by whom? ”

"The son of Shaoxing prefect Tong Zhen, Tong Yinglong."

"Has Pengju ever been injured?"

"A punch in the face and a blow in the leg...... The group of people held weapons and threatened with their lives, but fortunately the guards resisted desperately......"

Bang!

Xu Li was furious, stood up, and his eyes were cold.

Although the old man is old, his temper is not good, and what is worse is that he protects the calf.

Xu Pengju is his grandson, and from the name "Pengju", you can see how much Xu Li has deep expectations and doting on his grandson.

Xu Li smiled violently, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"The little prefect dares to ride on the head of my Wei Guogong, is Tong Zhen bullying me that there is no one in the Xu family?"

"Someone! transferred the Shaoxing Weiguan Army, smashed Tong Zhen's house for the old man, and abolished his son! ”

Wei Guogong, the maiden family of Empress Xu during the Yongle Emperor, was favored by the Ming Emperors of the past dynasties, and Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, and ordered the Xu family to guard Nanjing for generations, and ...... Qin Zhun Wei Guogong was in charge of the army.

From ancient times to the present, those who are in charge of the military are not very easy to mess with.
