Chapter 136: Resigning and Returning to Hometown
"Of course it's best if you can go with Hongshao, at least two people are more reliable than one person, and besides, I also want to take this opportunity to invite her distant relatives, after all, once Hongshao and Sikong Yu get married, she must have a mother's family." Ye Chuliang said solemnly.
"Then it's decided, and when the time comes, we will also prepare something for Hongshao's relatives to bring over, which will be regarded as a proposal." Dongfang Yanhe joy is authentic.
Ye Chuliang smiled more and nodded.
It seems that next year will be a happy year, with red shoots getting married, a bumper grain harvest, and double happiness.
I hope that the sound of firecrackers during the Chinese New Year will dispel all the bad luck this year and usher in a smooth and happy New Year.
The dry pot shiitake mushrooms made by Ye Chuliang are very successful, and they go well with rice.
Considering that the injuries on the faces of Hongshao and Dongfang Yanhe have not yet healed, Ye Chuliang made another dish of stewed tofu with double mushrooms, which is light and nourishing, especially suitable for winter tonic.
Hongshao ate a full bowl of rice at night, and even the last bit of soup from the dry pot shiitake mushrooms was not spared.
Finally, he burped and said, "I'm so full, I'm almost dying." ”
"Can't you just eat less? I have to eat myself every time. Ye Chuliang said with a smile while cleaning up the table.
"Who made my sister's cooking so delicious." Hong Shao stood up and patted Ye Chuliang's shoulder, complimentingly.
Ye Chu glanced at her coldly, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Sister, what are you going to do for the New Year?" Hong Shao leaned his head on Ye Chuliang's shoulder and asked curiously.
"It's just finished eating, and you're thinking about the New Year again, you're really..."Sikong Yu shook his head helplessly.
Hongshao glanced at him, and then continued to hold Ye Chuliang's shoulder and said, "Sister, just look at it, so that we can satisfy our hunger." ”
Ye Chuliang tilted his head and thought for a while, "I haven't thought of it yet, I'll talk to you when I think of it." "Finished, took the dirty bowl and left.
Dongfang Yanhe followed Ye Chuliang out, and the two guys jumped out of the cave to see the sheep and cows and the chickens, ducks and geese that had just hatched.
In the cave, but there were two people, Hongshao and Sikong Yu, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Red Tree sat down on the side, then coughed dryly, "That..."
Sikong Yu was also a little embarrassed to turn around and cough lightly, then turned his head to look at Ye Chuliang and said, "Sister Chuliang and I yesterday, I hope that after the New Year, we will... Just..."
"Sister Chu Liang also followed me, but I think our lives have just stabilized, and I don't want to be so early..."
Although Sikong Yu's face was full of a lost expression, he still breathed a deep sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, you and I have the same idea. ”
Hong Shao moved forward, closer to Sikong Yu, and asked with a puzzled face, "Do you have any ideas?" ”
Sikong Yu's face was serious, "There will be a meeting in the imperial court in September next year, I want to try." ”
Hong Shao lay on the table and looked at Sikong Yu curiously, "You still want to be an official?" ”
Sikong Yu's face was a little lost, he shrugged his shoulders, and said with a wry smile: "I promised my father that I would definitely come back for the Sikong family, my father was also an official of the imperial court when he was alive, how can I let him lose face?" ”
"Then I'm strange, since your father was also an official of the imperial court when he was alive, why did he come to you so down?" Red Tree asked curiously, holding his chin.
Sikong Yu stood up and put his hands behind his back, "My father had already resigned from the court and returned to his hometown when I was five or six years old, and within a few years, my father took us to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and asked less about the world, but he kept telling me that as a person of the Sikong family, even if he was unintentional in officialdom, he must also gain fame, and only in this way can he prove the value of his existence, so I have never dared to forget my father's legacy." ”
"Why did you resign and go back to your hometown?" Hong Shao jumped down from the table he was holding onto, and said to himself with a curious expression, "What walnut from your Sikong family has been recorded by the imperial court before, why do people in the imperial court have to worry about this thing?" And that Lu Changshan seems to know your father, could it be that your father used to be an important figure in the imperial court. ”
Sikong Yu shook his head slightly, "I really don't know what my father's position was in the imperial court before, my mother passed away early, and I was the only junior in the family, and when I was just born, my father sent me to live at my aunt's house, and I didn't return to him until my father resigned and returned to his hometown, so I really don't know anything about my father." ”
"Didn't your father have anything strange with you about that walnut?" Red Tree asked again.
Sikong Yu continued to shake his head, "No, that walnut was given to me by my father before he died, and he was told to keep it safe, as for the use of walnuts, he died before he could explain." ”
Hong Shao touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "According to your father, who was also an official of the imperial court, and then suddenly resigned and returned to his hometown, I boldly speculated, maybe your father found out something unforgivable in the court, for fear of being killed, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, and that walnut may hide that secret." ”
"But we've all seen walnuts, and there's no secret at all." Sikong Yu frowned slightly.
"Since we can't find it, I believe those people will definitely not be able to find it either, as long as you are famous, you will have the opportunity to get back the walnuts from those Rao's hands." Red Smirked smirked.
Sikong Yu turned to look at Hong Shao, with a sincere expression, he rubbed his hands a little restrainedly, and said hesitantly: "I didn't marry you next year as Sister Chu Liang wanted, will you be unhappy?" ”
"Of course not, if you get fame, I will be the wife of the imperial court official, and I have a lot of face on my face, so you must work hard, this time you must succeed no matter what." Hongshao playfully tapped Sikong Yu's shoulder and said with a smile.
Sikong Yu nodded firmly.
Dongfang Yanhe and Ye Chuliang, who had already finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, stood at the door of the cave, and they had already seen the kiss between Hongshao and Sikong Yu, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then walked to the side with interest.
Regarding the matter of walnuts, in fact, Ye Chuliang has always had a question in her heart, since Sikong Yu mentioned it at this time, she also asked suspiciously, "You, what is the secret of this walnut?" ”
Dongfang Yanhe's doubts in his heart were no less than Ye Chuliang's, he shook his head slightly, "I don't know, we have all studied it before, it seems to be no different from ordinary walnuts." ”
"That's right..."Ye Chu sighed deeply after finishing his coolness, "I don't know if those people have researched anything." ”
