Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Glimpse
I had long heard that Dayu City was a rich land, so even though I wanted to refuse Ling Yuechen's invitation in my heart, I still agreed to Ling Yuechen's suggestion to visit Dayu City together.
The streets are bustling with traffic, pedestrians, shops, and laughter. Stalls, jugglers, shopping, lounging, all full of spring breeze...... Yan Yue carefully looked at the pedestrians coming and going, whether it was from the dress or from the words and actions, people felt a kind of calmness and gentleness, such a state should only be found by people who live a rich life and have a happy spirit. Yan Yue couldn't help but think that this town was facing the fate of changing hands again a few days ago, didn't this make the people of Dayu City restless?
Thinking of this, Yan Yue couldn't help but look sideways at Ling Yuechen, who had been walking on the left, but was facing Ling Yuechen's affectionate gaze. Under the gaze that made countless women yearn for it but made Yan Yue timid, Yan Yue couldn't help but blush, and swallowed the question when it came to her mouth.
"Yue'er, what do you want to say?" Ling Yuechen's gentle voice sounded, and Yan Yue heard the sound of her own heartbeat. I have to say that this Ling Yuechen can really have a fight with the Duke of Windsor who gave up the throne for a woman, for the sake of a woman, Edward VIII would rather give up the throne of the king, lose his status, title, friends, and lose the right to rule the empire and the royal family. Yan Yue fully believed that Ling Yuechen beside her would do this for herself.
"At the beginning, you really wanted to give this Dayu City to the Darong Dynasty, did you feel pity in your heart? And the people of this Dayu City will complain about you? Yan Yue hesitated for a moment, and finally asked. Ling Yuechen couldn't help laughing, but there was a lot of coldness in his gentle smile, and Yan Yue's heart couldn't help but feel gloomy when he heard it. He replied lightly: "It's that Murong Yan is too greedy, I can give him this Dayu City, but he may not have the ability to eat it." "
Under Ling Yuechen's concerned gaze, Yan Yueqiang changed the topic with a smile: "In ancient times, the single father county of the Lu State lacked a county order, and the monarch asked the sage Confucius to recommend a student, and Confucius recommended Mi Zibei. This man is good at playing the piano. Immediately after his arrival, he built a piano platform behind the yamen, where he played the piano and sang every day, and even the yamen rarely entered. But this county town has long-term peace and stability, and the people are happy. Later, after he stepped down, the sage Confucius recommended another student, Wu Ma Qi. This person goes out early and returns late every day, works hard, forgets to sleep and eat, his hair is gray and his body collapses after a year, but there are many big and small things in the county. Do you know why? "
"Those who are officials are in charge. It's better not to do everything yourself. The piano player you're talking about is a man who can do great things. Ling Yuechen's voice was full of admiration, and Ling Yuechen's answer did not go through much thought, which showed that these thoughts had always been in the depths of his thoughts. But Yan Yue read the book, and after many things to realize this, thinking of this, Yan Yue couldn't help but look at Ling Yuechen with admiration and said, "Cousin, you are the one who is really suitable for doing great things."
Yan Yue had no intention of boasting, and she didn't have any experience in saying good and obedient words. This sentence comes from the heart, so the expression is sincere, the eyes are full of admiration, and the delicate little face is also a piece of yearning. This expression fell in Ling Yuechen's eyes, Ling Yuechen couldn't help but be emotional, raised his hand and pinched Yan Yue's nose lovingly, and left quickly before Yan Yue had time to object.
Yan Yue blushed again, such an intimate little action had never been seen even with that Murong Yan. It's just that Ling Yuechen did it naturally, which made Yan Yue want to oppose but couldn't speak. The two walked forward again, and a tea shop appeared in front of them. Ling Yuechen casually introduced: "Yue'er, this tea shop has a history of 100 years, and their home-brewed black tea is not only sweet, but also very beneficial to the body."
After shopping for a long time, Yan Yue Zhengjue was a little tired, and Ling Yuechen's proposal was exactly what Yan Yue wanted. Immediately followed Ling Yuechen into the tea shop. This tea shop can be regarded as a large-scale tea shop in this Dayu city, the whole tea shop is divided into three floors, the first floor has a large stage outside, there are many tables and stools at will, some like the feeling of ordinary food stalls. Most of the people sitting here are ordinary people and business people here, who can drink tea and listen to operas. Above the second floor is a private room, and the people who come and go here are either rich or expensive. Ling Yuechen took Yan Yue and wanted to go straight to the third floor, but Yan Yue stopped on the first floor, and finally came to this Dayu City, just wanting to feel the living atmosphere here, what is the strength of drinking tea in that private room.
Ling Yuechen's face hesitated slightly, but he quickly responded with a smile. Yan Yue couldn't help but smile, the folk customs here are simple, there shouldn't be any danger, not to mention that Ling Yuechen didn't say it, Yan Yue also knew that there were dozens of guards with superb martial arts behind him. And Yan Yue's approach is of course also somewhat certain, there are many, many kinds of poisons on Yan Yue's body, Yan Yue has not yet tested their efficacy one by one, if there is really someone who is not afraid of death to deal with Ling Yuechen, Yan Yue promises to let them come and go.
The two of them chose a seat facing the stage and sat down, Yan Yue found that although the first floor of the tea shop was facing the public, it had a unique charm in decoration, the stage, corners, staircase corners, etc. were all placed with green bonsai, and the walls were hung with paintings of the four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum. When looking around, Yan Yue found that this tea shop not only sells tea, but also sells dim sum and tea food. When Yan Yue looked around, Ling Yuechen had already ordered a selection of black tea and a few snacks.
The storyteller on the stage also started to speak, telling the story of an emperor who misled the country for a woman, Yan Yue was amused when she heard it, and she held the crab shell yellow in her hand and was happy with Ling Yuechen. Yan Yue's meaning is very obvious, this Ling Yuechen in front of him is also a character who makes his face bigger than the country, if the country is really unstable one day, it is estimated that it is all caused by women.
Ling Yuechen raised his chopsticks and picked up a pork rib rice cake and put it in Yan Yue's daily plate, and said with a smile: "As long as it's for you, I'm happy to do anything." Yan Yue took a bite of dim sum stuck in her throat, almost slid into her mouth, and coughed again and again before she eased up. I was so angry that I glared at Ling Yuechen, who was causing trouble, and secretly thought that if my little life was given away because of eating, wouldn't it become the first laugh in the world.
The figure flashed in front of her, and Yan Yue only felt that her heart was beating suddenly a few times, and it felt a little weird, and even a little panicked. Yan Yue couldn't help but widen her eyes and look at the figure. Suddenly, Yan Yue's whole body stiffened, and the person's back, figure, height, and walking posture all looked like a person-Murong Yan. Yan Yue's hands were trembling, didn't she hear that Murong Yan broke his bones and was recuperating in the palace? Could it be that he also came to Dayu City?
"What's wrong, Yue'er?" Ling Yuechen looked at Yan Yue's pale face and asked in surprise.
"It's nothing, I just don't think it tastes good." Yan Yue replied casually, Ling Yuechen nodded slightly, but his eyes flashed on the few pieces of crab shell yellow that were left, and said casually: "Yue'er, don't eat it, let's change the snack." ”
Yan Yue nodded speechlessly, and when Ling Yuechen lowered his head to taste tea, his eyes followed the familiar figure again, and at this time, the figure was already sitting down at the table, and his side could be seen from Yan Yue's angle. This time, Yan Yue couldn't help but let out a long breath. Because the man had a beard on his face, he should be thirty-four years old from the side.
Yan Yue secretly scolded herself for being suspicious, that Murong Yan's bones were broken, and it would not be good for three months. Even if he tried to find himself in exchange for this Dayu City, he couldn't let people carry him here. Yan Yue picked up the teacup speechlessly, and there was a faint pain in her chest. Yan Yue didn't know that when she lowered her head, Ling Yuechen's gaze swept sharply towards the man sitting in the corner drinking tea, and even made a gesture to a certain corner.
"Let's have a black tea." The man raised his voice to greet the shopkeeper, and the voice hit Yan Yue's heart like a muffled thunder, which made Yan Yue breathless, and the inexplicable feeling made Yan Yue feel panicked. Yan Yue focused all her attention on the bearded man, watching him pick up the teacup and hand it to his lips, watching him gently blow the leaves in the cup, watching him taste it lightly first, and seeing that his brows were slightly wrinkled...... Yan Yue's heart seemed to jump out of her chest, and she didn't even know that the water in the cup had spilled.
The storyteller was talking about the critical moment at this time, and the emperor who coveted women was given three feet of white silk by the new emperor, and the misguided woman was finally put on the streets of Laishi. The storyteller summed up in a regretful and painful voice: "There is a knife on the head of the color word, since ancient times, the red face has been in trouble, the hero has passed the beauty pass, and he is a real man between heaven and earth!"
"Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" Ling Yuechen's gaze followed Yan Yue's, but it only quickly swept past those irrelevant people, and soon fell on Yan Yue's body. Yan Yue was nervous again, the hand holding the teacup was already cold to the bone, and she couldn't control the tremor in her voice after enduring it: "It's nothing, it's not ...... The woman's fate was also a little worse. "
Ling Yuechen smiled again, but Yan Yue felt that the tea had changed its taste when she drank it, and even the dim sum had become bitter and difficult to swallow. Looking at the pampered Ling Yuechen, he said pitifully: "Cousin, I want to go." Ling Yuechen immediately motioned to the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and the two of them went to the shop one after the other. A group of passengers suddenly poured into the door, and Ling Yuechen grabbed Yan Yue's shoulders and hugged Yan Yue tightly in his arms.
Yan Yue was stunned for a moment and then understood the meaning of Ling Yuechen's move, he was afraid that the passenger flow would accidentally bump into him. This feeling of care and care made Yan Yue's heart ripple with a warm current again, and for a while, Yan Yue couldn't see the crowded flow of people in front of her, so she snuggled softly in Ling Yuechen's arms.
It wasn't until the person passed over and Ling Yuechen let go of the clasped arm that Yan Yue felt as if there was a gaze firmly locked on her body behind her, and that scorching gaze made Yan Yue's whole body become strangely hot.
"Let's go!" Ling Yuechen's voice was a little strange, and he took Yan Yue's hand lovingly, and the two walked outside side by side.
"I'm tired, let's go back!" Yan Yue begged softly. Ling Yuechen looked at Yan Yue's somewhat pale face, his eyes flashed gloomily, and he casually summoned an entourage not far behind him, and whispered a few words. A moment later a carriage arrived, and the two men boarded it.
