Chapter 24: The Capital
But worry is worry after all, after all, this trip is out for a honeymoon. According to Dongfang Yi, honeymoon is to be happy, happy, and don't have to think about anything. But for some reason, Nalan Jin always felt that something was going on at home.
Dongfang Yi saw Nalan Jin's worried look, so he said:
"It's okay, someone at home is taking care of it, it's fine."
Hearing this, Nalan Jin's frowning brows stretched a little, and if you come, you can be safe.
Soon they arrived at the capital, which was full of water, the streets were replaced by small rivers, boats were needed to get through everywhere, and the water in the river was very clear, and you could see the fish and aquatic plants in it.
Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin directly rented a boat and came to the folk customs that Dongfang Yi had contacted in advance.
The owner of this B&B is a good friend with Dongfang Yi, and arranged everything for the arrival of the two early. The two of them took a boat and followed the current all the way to the friend's house.
The man had been waiting at the door of the house for a long time, and when he saw the two of them coming by boat, he hurriedly welcomed:
"Brother Dongfang, don't come unharmed!"
Dongfang Yi jumped off the boat, and then helped Nalan Jin get off the boat.
"Brother Li, don't come unharmed!"
Dongfang Yi replied. Several people exchanged a few words of greeting, and they all knew each other's identities. Dongfang Yi's friend is a native of this place and is very familiar with this place.
The man took the two of them to the room that had already been cleaned up, and after a few words, he went downstairs.
The two began to pack their things, and the two of them didn't have many things, but Dongfang Yi said:
"You are my wife now, you don't need to clean up your things, just sit and rest!"
Dongfang Yi said as he pressed Nalan Jin to the chair, and then began to clean up his things. Nalan Jin looked at the gentle and considerate Dongfang Yi and smiled, it seems that she is really married to a good husband. I just don't know what's going on at home, thinking about it, Nalan Jin looked out the window.
Soon, Dongfang Yi packed up her things, looked at Nalan Jin, and knew that she was worried again. He walked over slowly and said:
"It's time to go downstairs, Brother Li has made a lot of delicious food to entertain us!"
"Hmm."
Nalan Jin replied, and then went downstairs with Dongfang Yi. As soon as he came downstairs, Nalan Jin saw a table of delicious things, many of which were characteristic of the capital, and Nalan Jin had never seen them.
Seeing these delicacies, Nalan Jin no longer thought about the worries at home.
"I was about to call you, but you came down. But it's just right to come, sit down and eat together! β
Brother Li pulled the two of them to sit down next to the dinner table, because Dongfang Yi and Brother Li had a good relationship, Nalan Jin was not very polite, and ate it in a big gulp.
After a meal, the two of them were satisfied, after all, Nalan Jin had never tasted these delicacies.
"Have you eaten enough?"
Dongfang Yi asked.
"Of course, what are we going to do next?"
Nalan Jin then asked, Dongfang Yi thought about it and said that he would take Nalan Jin out for a spin, Nalan Jin agreed, the scenery of this capital is very beautiful, there are rivers and streams everywhere, and the air is also very fresh, which is very suitable for Nalan Jin to relax when she is worried now.
The two found a small lake, the water of which was extremely clear, but because of its remote location, few people came here, so Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin didn't have to worry about being disturbed here.
They borrowed a small boat from Brother Li and rowed aimlessly on the lake, next to the lake were woods, and some trees grew in the water, and in the distance were mountains, and there were waterfalls in the mountains, which turned into many streams, but most of the water flowed into the lake.
Nalan Jin lay on the side of the boat, his fingers gently put into the water and dangled, feeling the slightest coolness, there were many fish in the water, and Nalan Jin could occasionally touch a few.
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, Nalan Jin picked up a large handful of water with her palm and splashed it on Dongfang Yi's body. Seeing the water droplets on Dongfang Yi's hair, Nalan Jin kept laughing, laughing and laughing, Nalan Jin suddenly felt a coolness, it turned out that Dongfang Yi also took a handful of water and splashed it on Nalan Jin.
The two played like this all day, and in the evening, the two of them were already covered with water, Dongfang Yi helped Nalan Jin dry his clothes, and then said:
"You're so naΓ―ve!"
"Cut, don't you too!"
The two teased each other, but their hearts were sweet, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone down, and the two played together, and waited until the sunset was about to set, and the two went home.
In this way, the two played happily for three days, and the two of them had a good time every day, but Nalan Jin always subconsciously felt that there was something at home, and was very worried about Nalan Zhen.
"Why don't we go back sooner!"
Nalan Jin said worriedly. Although Dongfang Yi wanted to play again, he still agreed, after all, if something really happened to the family, it wouldn't work.
So the two said goodbye to Brother Li:
"Brother Li has been very troublesome these days, we will definitely thank you when we meet again in the future!"
"Okay, remember to let me know in advance next time!"
After saying goodbye to a few people, they left, and Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin also returned to the mansion quickly.
When the two came to the door, they didn't seem to have changed much in the house, but the pedestrians on the road seemed to be pointing and saying something when they passed by the house.
Could it be that something really happened in the mansion?
As soon as Nalan Jin got off the carriage and ran over, Dongfang Yi also followed Nalan Jin, Nalan Jin ran over and asked the guards in the house:
"Has anything happened in the past few days that my husband and I have been out? How is my grandfather's health, is there something big in the family? β
Seeing that Nalan Jin was so eager, the guard also hurriedly replied:
"Recently, the old man's health is fine, but he was angry two days ago! Your eldest uncle, that is, Nalan Wenyuan, he! I used to make a few outer rooms outside, and one of them was even pregnant, and I came to the house to make Nalan Wenyuan responsible, but I was stopped by your eldest aunt and wanted to get rid of the child in her belly! β
The guard said and looked at the surroundings to see that there was no one around, and continued, "She can't give birth to a child herself, and she still wants to harm others, the old man knows about this, and comes to quarrel with your aunt and keeps the child, but the old man is still very angry!" β
When Nalan Jin heard this, she couldn't help frowning, and then went into the mansion with Dongfang Yi to see how the old man was doing.
