Chapter 70: Before the Flower and Under the Moon (I)
The king of Shu swaggered away, the banquet dispersed, and the candlelight in Yaowang Villa was also extinguished sporadically. The moonlit night was quiet, the falling flowers were sound, and only Shu'er and Zhuge were left calmly.
Zhuge smiled calmly and said, "You wait, I'll go get a pot of warm wine, and let's sit on the flower tree over there and watch the moon." ”
Although Shu'er was tired, she couldn't say goodbye Zhuge smiled calmly and nodded invisibly. Zhuge calmly turned around and walked into the Hundred Poison Hall to take a pot of wine that was still warm for the King of Shu, took two small white porcelain cups, returned to Shu'er, and said, "Follow me." ”
Shu'er followed Zhuge to calmly jump on a purple magnolia ancient tree with huge branches, occupied a branch by himself, leaned his head on the thick trunk in the middle, and looked up at a bright moon through the gap between the flowers.
Zhuge calmly poured half a glass of wine for Shu'er, poured himself a full cup, and said: "Respect for Boss Yan, who pretends to be a woman with broken sleeves, I wish you a prosperous business, and I also respect the lord of Xiling, who is a hero among women, and I wish you to improve your martial arts!" ”
Shu'er smiled and drank the half glass of wine and asked, "Why only give me half a glass?" ”
Zhuge calmly looked at Shu'er's clear eyes, looked at the moon hanging in the sky, and said slowly: "Because I am afraid that you will be drunk and hurt your body, and I am afraid that you will be sober and cautious." ”
Shu'er looked at Zhuge calmly and half-upturned side face, the moonlight was like water, and the people were like a dream.
Shu'er said: "Young Master Zhuge , you are very good at appreciating the scenery. The sunset red glow on the peerless peak, the purple magnolia flowers in the Yaowang Valley, these scenes, I will never forget for the rest of my life. "I think back to the first time I saw him, he was dancing his sword in the ice lake, and she was admiring the plum blossoms in front of the window......
Zhuge said calmly: "The scenery and I are not allowed to be forgotten by you." ”
Shu'er felt that there seemed to be strings in her heart, and she was plucked by the man in front of her and trembled a little.
Zhuge calmly poured himself a glass of wine and sighed: "I thought I could accompany you all the way to Zichuan Shu Palace to find the evil spirit and ask for that will, but I didn't expect to meet him here, so we don't have to go to Zichuan again." I didn't expect my father-in-law to be here, and as soon as the King of Shu leaves tomorrow, my father-in-law will probably take me back to Chu. After all, I haven't been back to the island for half a year, so I should go back to help him take care of his family's business. I want to invite you to go to Chu with me, but I also know that you have something to do, and you can't leave Fanjing's cosmetics shop alone. Alas, in life, even if you do all the martial arts in the world, you can't pretend to be a self-reliant Boss Yan. ”
Shu'er said: "Since Young Master Zhuge has been invited, when I am busy with the matter of Biliang Cosmetics Shop, it is not impossible to go to Chu State to find you." ”
Zhuge calmly took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Shu'er, and said: "This is the customs clearance document of the Zhuge family, when you are busy with the affairs of Chen Guo, when you want to come to see me, or if you have something to find me, take this customs clearance document from Shu to Chu." When Shu entered Chu, the first thing to arrive at was Yuwang County, and the Xuanji Island of the Zhuge family, in Shengwang County, had to go to Xianhu north of Yuling in Shengwang County, and then get on the ship of the Zhuge family from the north port of Xianhu, take the Xianjiang waterway, and go directly to the East China Sea. Then change to our private big boat and sail downwind in the East China Sea for three days and three nights to reach Xuanji Island. ”
Shu'er asked: "I remember you said that King Yu and King Sheng are inextricably fighting, and it is not easy to enter King Shengwang County from Yuwang County?" ”
Zhuge said calmly: "When I said that, I hadn't given you the customs clearance documents of the Zhuge family, and it was naturally difficult to go from Yuwang County to Shengwang County. And now, as long as you put away this paper paperwork, the generals of Yuwang County and Shengwang County will definitely not embarrass you. If you want to go to the Song Kingdom, you can also take this paper document and enter and exit the Song Kingdom from Shengwang County to ensure unimpeded access. ”
Shu'er suddenly realized: "I used to only think about going directly from Chen Guo to Song Guo, and I didn't save enough money to buy a piece of customs clearance paperwork between Chen and Song after many years on the black market. Now the customs clearance documents between Chen and Song are worth more gold, and people who give them a thousand gold may not dare to give you imitation...... If I had known, I would have asked him to imitate your Zhuge family's customs clearance documents! It can also make me unimpeded in the Chu State! ”
Zhuge looked at her with a calm smile, thinking of how difficult and desperate it was for her to disguise herself as a man and clumsily and helplessly search for a forged customs clearance document on the black market, and couldn't help but reveal tenderness in her eyes, and said: "If you really want to go back to the Song Kingdom to save your relatives, why are you obsessed with the customs clearance documents between Chen and Song?" Why didn't you go to Chu a few years ago? Although the Chu Kingdom is far away, as long as you enter Shengwang County, you can enter and exit the Song Kingdom at will every day. Although it is difficult to enter Shengwang County from Yuwang County, it is not as good as one ten-thousandth of crossing the boundary between Chen and Song. ”
Shu'er nodded and said, "You're right, if I really want to go back to the Song Kingdom, I won't use a piece of customs clearance documents as an excuse." Come to think of it, there is always a better way than to earn a thousand taels of gold. Maybe I'm just competing with myself with the expensive customs clearance paperwork, and the more I procrastinate, the more expensive and rare the paperwork gets and gets harder every year. ”
Zhuge calmly asked: "Since you were born in the Song Kingdom, why are you so entangled in making decisions about returning to the Song Kingdom?" ”
Shu'er replied: "Actually, at first, I felt that I was out of place there, and it was better to find another place to fend for myself than to make trouble for those who loved me rather than to go back and be thrown into the river." I was adopted by my kind aunts and had a very talented sworn brother, and I gradually enjoyed living with them, supporting myself and raising my family, and I felt that my life was more fulfilling than ever, and I felt that everything could be firmly in my own hands. So later, I may just set a goal for myself at the price of customs clearance documents, to make myself stronger, and one day when I return to the Song Kingdom, it can be regarded as a return to my hometown, which is impressive, even if I am still out of place, I will no longer have to worry about my life. When I do it for another three years, I may send out the Huaiwang Sword, and then return to my hometown, and I don't have to be busy again. ”
Zhuge said calmly: "If you have business problems, you can come to Chu to find me at any time, and if you are still out of place when you return to Song, you can also come to Chu to find me." Although I don't agree with all of what the old and unserious Wu Xie said, at least one of his words is right: first of all, you must know who the other party is and what you want from each other, and then fall into the Chu Shui Yu River of love. Miss Yan, since you are not married and I am not married, you and I have the right to be in love. But now do you really know who you are and what you want? I don't want to be frivolous with you until you don't want to take off your mask. If you can come all the way to a remote island on the sea to find me, not to mention a piece of customs clearance paperwork, it is not an exaggeration for me to take the Zhuge family's property as an employee. But I have been in front of you for many days, if it weren't for the King of Shu to break that you are a woman disguised as a man, how long do you plan to hide it from me? My sincerity has been revealed since the moment I taught you the black cloth swordsmanship, and you have not opened your heart to me, perhaps because you still have a lot of things to do, many old people to see, and when you find out who you are, it is not too late to come to me again.
