Chapter 50

This matter is not too big, because of King Yi, His Majesty did not blame it, and the General's Mansion did not dare to say anything, but Daddy couldn't raise his head in front of General Lu, and I couldn't raise my head in front of Lu Huai.

His Majesty sat calmly: "If the sixth brother is the daughter of Nanxiang, why don't you tell me directly, I don't need to make this joke!" ”

Chu Muxiu sat under the main hall: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and he is in charge of the affairs of the people of Li, compared to these, the fact that the younger brother is nothing!" ”

"Hey...... The sixth brother's words are wrong, and a major event in life is not a trivial matter, if you really have the heart, you can naturally make decisions for you! ”

Chu Muxiu clenched his hands into fists, "The northwest is turbulent, Yu Kou is eyeing the tiger, and the current ministers of the great enemy dare not talk about the private affairs of their children!" ”

His Majesty laughed and clapped his hands, "Okay, good, caring about the world is my royal good man!" ”

In the middle of the night, Chu Muxiu withdrew from the main hall, and His Majesty was furious.

"It's good that he is a Chu Muxiu, he dares to resist the decree, he really doesn't take me, the emperor, in his eyes!"

Gonggong Li was anxious to pat himself on the back: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's not worth it for King Yi, you are the king of a country, no matter how arrogant he is, he has to listen to your ......"

I didn't dare to go to Chu Muxiu, let alone Lu Huai, they were the two best people I had except for my family, but I didn't dare to face any of them now.

I haven't spoken to Daddy for a few days, and I think we all need to calm down.

But this calmness has been calm for more than a month, and in the blink of an eye it is December, and in another month it will be the New Year, and the cold wind is blowing in gusts, and I have put on cotton clothes and a cotton wool cloak outside.

In a few days, it will snow, and I will be able to build a snowman again......

It was very cold today, and it was snowing heavily, so I got up to look at the snow and saw that Daddy had gone out early in the morning. I asked Aunt Song what Daddy was doing so early, and Aunt Song said that it was like going to King Yi's Mansion. I was stunned and suddenly had an ominous premonition, but I didn't dare to chase it out, so I sat at the gate and waited for a long time Daddy didn't come back.

It was about noon, the snow stopped, and Daddy finally came back, and I stood up and looked at Daddy, but I didn't dare to call him.

Daddy came over, and I bowed my head and didn't dare to ask him.

"Tomorrow follow me to the General's Mansion to make amends, and the matter between you and King Yi will be over!"

"Daddy......" I don't understand what Daddy said.

"I mean, I agree with you and His Royal Highness!"

I was stunned again, Daddy is such a stubborn person, I don't know what Chu Muxiu said to Daddy, he is willing to compromise. But no matter what Chu Muxiu said to Daddy, at least this result is good, at least I am at ease.

The next day, my father and I took a carriage to the general's mansion, I saw Lu Huai in the hall, his face was a little bad and he didn't seem to have much energy, I didn't say a word to Lu Huai, how dare I look at him. Although General Lu Lao had a breath of anger in his heart, he was polite to us. Daddy politely apologized to them, after all, it was King Yi and His Majesty above, and General Lu didn't have to give Daddy a step.

We walked out of the General's Mansion, General Lu and Daddy didn't know what to say in the back, Lu Huai came out to see me off.

"How are you doing during this time?"

I was shocked, shouldn't I ask Lu Huai this sentence?

"It's alright, what about you?" I asked him rhetorically.

"Hmm." He just answered, but in my opinion it was not an answer, at best perfunctory.

Also, it was my fault in the first place, and I can't blame him for his perfunctory.

"Why don't you seem to talk less, you weren't like this before?"

"Oh, really?" Because I felt sorry for someone, I didn't dare to say a word to him, for fear that I would make people sad if I made a mistake again.

Lu Huai suddenly approached me: "Otherwise, if you invite me to a delicious meal, why don't we buy and sell each other!" ”

"Huh?" I was caught off guard by this sudden remark.

He brought some visits: "Why, you don't want a meal?" ”

"How come, you can eat whatever you say, and it's okay to eat as much as you want!"

We went to the Drunken Immortal Residence, which is the most famous restaurant in Huancheng, and it is a place where dignitaries and nobles often gather.

Xiao Er fluttered the white scarf on his shoulder: "Miss, what are you eating?" ”

I turned my head to look at Lu Huai: "You can order, you can eat anything!" ”

"This pear blossom fish, drunken chicken, three-spiced beef jerky, white fungus stewed black chicken ......"

Lu Huai was really not polite at all this time.

The table was full of food, and I didn't have much appetite and barely moved my chopsticks. Lu Huai ate it with relish, he said I have changed, in fact, I think he has changed, I used to see him always chew and swallow slowly, but now he is gobbling up, maybe he just thinks that after eating this meal, we can buy and sell.

"Why don't you eat it?" Halfway through eating, Lu Huai suddenly stopped and asked me.

I pushed the pear fish in front of me over: "You eat, this meal was originally for you!" ”

Lu Huai drank a glass of wine, he put down the glass, "Ah Candle, you don't have to feel sorry for me, if you are unhappy if you marry me, then I will really be sorry for you." ”

What Lu Huai said made me embarrassed, obviously I was ashamed of him, but he took everything on himself. A good person like him doesn't deserve such a sin, and a bad person like me really doesn't deserve his liking.

If a meal can really resolve the pain in Lu Huai's heart and eliminate the guilt in my heart, how good it would be!

Every year the New Year is very lively, but I prefer the Shangyuan Festival after the New Year to the New Year.

The Lantern Festival, the beautiful scenery of the good day, and the colorful lanterns create a warm and romantic atmosphere, and the woman in the boudoir can get out of the boudoir and enter the pair with the man she likes.

I made an appointment with Chu Muxiu to see the lanterns that night, and this time I could finally walk out of the main gate generously. As soon as they arrived on the street, Mo'er left with Qianche, leaving me and Chu Muxiu to hang around. The streets are full of people, the shouts of all kinds of food vendors, the coquettish sound of children pestering their parents to buy lanterns, and the whispers of lovesickness to men and women.

He likes to pull my hand, the kind that pulls very tightly.

"You don't have to pull me so tight, I won't run!"

"It's nothing if I run away, but I'm afraid that I'll have to look for it all over the street!"

We walked through the crowd and saw those people playing acrobatics, performing shows, fiddling shadow puppetry, clapping and telling stories, and singing Huangli opera with a long voice......

"Candy sellers, candy sellers!"

I pulled Chu Muxiu over: "Uncle wants two sugar people!" ”

I stuffed the sugar man into my mouth, and then handed one to Chu Muxiu, he didn't like to eat these things before, but this time he took it unambiguously, and then stuffed it into his mouth like me unambiguously.

"Is it sweet?" I asked him.

"Sweet!"

Passing by Uncle Zhang's pastry shop, we walked in. Uncle Zhang smiled when he saw me, but he didn't ask me about getting married that day, he said that it was supposed to be closed, but today is the Shangyuan Festival, there are many people and business is good, and he thought that I would come, so he simply drove to the present.

Uncle Zhang's eyes fell on Chu Muxiu, "Presumably it was for this son to run away that day!" ”

I don't speak, I just think that Uncle Zhang and Aunt Song are really a natural pair, and they can actually see my thoughts.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Uncle Zhang began to talk to himself again, "You children, do whatever you want when you are young, think about how you have such courage when I was young!" ”

I don't know if Uncle Zhang is praising me or scolding me, my heart is a little heavy when I come out of the shop, most of it is Uncle Zhang's courage.

The old lady was still dressed in rags, and behind her was a child squatting, squatting in front of the stall and begging the boss for a string of auspicious cakes. The so-called auspicious crisp is a kind of fried croquettes made of flour, and because they are small, they are sold in skewers.

After many requests to no avail, the old lady simply knelt down and grabbed the boss's trouser legs, "Okay, just give us a string of auspicious cakes, today is my grandson's birthday, I want him to be happy......"

"I don't have any money for a birthday, go and go, don't disturb my business!" The boss tore the old lady's hand away and blasted them away with contempt.

I knew that Chu Muxiu couldn't look at this kind of thing, he wanted to take care of it but was stopped by me, "You watch, I'll settle it." ”

I glanced at the mother and grandson, and then pulled Chu Muxiu over, "Go away, go away, I don't have money to eat any auspicious cakes, and the boss can't do business anymore!" ”

The old lady looked at me a few times, and then reluctantly pulled his grandson away.

The boss is a master who sees money: "Do it, do it, how many strings of auspicious cakes does the lady want?" ”

Chu Muxiu pulled me again, turned his head to look at the backs of the mother and grandson, he must have felt that they were pitiful enough, and accused me of not bombing them just now. I gave him another look and told him to wait and see.

I sat down: "Then let's have two strings first!" ”

I took a bunch and ate it, Chu Muxiu probably felt that I was a little angry for being unreasonable, so he didn't sit down next to me and didn't eat auspicious cakes. I saw the boss fry another pot of auspicious crisp behind his back, and he was still shouting that oil is expensive, and it is not profitable to do this.

"Hey boss, you must need a lot of oil to sell this auspicious crisp, this oil is extremely expensive, I'm afraid you won't be able to make a lot of money by doing this!"

I said that he hit his sore spot, and the boss suddenly came to his senses, "That's not it, you can't make a few dollars a day of hard work, and the dead old woman just now actually wants to beg for my auspicious crisp in vain, it's really beyond my strength!" ”

I sneered: "I have an ancestral fuel-saving method, do you want me to tell you?" ”

The boss's eyes were certain, and he threw off the live fire in his hand and ran over in a hurry, "Miss, is this true?" ”

I got up and slapped the table: "This is my ancestral method, it's been decades since I've been here, and you don't believe it?" ”

The boss immediately nodded: "I believe it, I believe ......."

I stared at the auspicious cake on the stall and twisted my fingers, "If you want to know this method, should you ...... it?"

"Oh, here you go!" The boss brought me a few more auspicious cakes.

"Huh?"

The boss made up his mind to ask for my method, and even held all the dozens of strings of auspicious cakes into my hands, "Give them all to you, now the young lady can say your ancestral method!" ”

I clutched my hands full of auspicious cakes, stood up and touched my head and began to think thoughtfully, I took a few steps back.

"Fool, wouldn't boiling it save fuel?"

The boss was furious: "Good girl, dare to lie to me!" As he spoke, he picked up the pot of hot oil and splashed it on me.

Chu Muxiu pulled me aside in an instant, and easily dodged the pot of hot oil, which was really dangerous.

Seeing that we were not hit, the boss did not relent, called the helpers on the stall, and rushed up to us coldly. But how could those reckless Great Khans be Chu Muxiu's opponents, Chu Muxiu beat them to the ground with three or two blows.

"Hurry up, go after that mother and grandson!" Seeing that they were all lying on the ground and screaming in pain, I hurriedly pulled Chu Muxiu and ran behind me.

They hadn't gone far, and we ran outside for a while and saw them. I ran up and panted and took all the auspicious cakes in my hand to the old lady, "Mother-in-law, these are for you!" ”

The old lady was obviously stunned: "Girl, you ...... just now"

I wiped my sweat: "I just scared you, you can take all of this and eat it!" ”

The child grinned happily: "Grandma, we have auspicious cakes to eat!" ”

I touched the child's head: "Happy birthday, these are enough for you to get tired of eating!" ”

"Girl, you are so good, a good man has a safe life, a good man has a safe life!" The old lady thanked her again and again and then took her grandson away, and the child was smiling all the way.

Chu Muxiu rubbed my head with his hands: "What do you have in your head all day long?" ”

"Loaded with pine flower cake, pretended with sugar gourd, pretended with sugar man......" That sentence is all about you, I can't say it.

After walking two steps, I stopped and beat my legs with my hands, maybe the cold in my body did not dissipate from the wind chill last time, and the weather was too cold, and my legs were sore and soft after running a few steps, and I couldn't use my strength, and I became more and more uncomfortable.

When I looked up, Chu Muxiu turned his back to me: "I'll carry you!" ”

I was a little flattered, but I picked it up anyway, because it was really hard to move my legs. Chu Muxiu's back was as strong as Daddy's shoulders and as warm as Aunt Song's embrace. He carried me on his back for a long time, through the crowded street, up the stone bridge and down, we looked at the lanterns on the road, the cruise ships under the bridge, and the bright moonlight in the sky.

"What did you say to my dad before you agreed to us?"

"I told your father, saying that I would only be on the table after eight lifetimes of mold, saying that I would not dare to mess with you in the future, and that after everything was over...... I will marry you. ”

I lay on his back and looked up at the moon and sang to the sky, "The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yi people, on the water side, trace from it, the road is long and long, and the swim is like ...... in the middle of the water"
