Chapter 561: Rice Cakes
Except for Liu Yan, who was still stunned, everyone else was busy.
Getting married is not something that can be done by touching the upper and lower lips, there are many things to do.
It was Liu Yan's family affairs that were organized, but Liu Yan always felt that they were busy with them and had little to do with him.
She hadn't quite figured out what it was like to get married.
If they become married, she and Lu Yi will live in the future?
How do you spend this day?
She pondered, it should be about the same as the current day, right? Looking at the three sisters who have been married, as well as Wu Xiaohui, as well as the cousins and other girls in the clan, they all seem to be doing well.
But Liu Yan often felt that they were from a country, and often sat together and whispered and laughed, but as soon as Liu Yan passed, they changed the topic casually. There are always endless things to say when they sit together, husbands, children, parents, and personal contacts - those topics Liu Yan feels trivial, philistine, utilitarian, and vulgar, and she can't enter their circle, and she doesn't want to go in.
Thinking that one day she might become as vulgar, stingy, and resentful as Princess Qin and Princess Xuan, Liu Yan actually felt that getting married was a very terrible thing.
Marriage would turn her into a different person, unrecognizable, a stranger she didn't recognize.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Yan saw Lu Yi again in Caofu.
She surrounded the brazier in the pavilion, and there were a few rice cakes on the copper cover of the brazier, which were baked until they were browned outside, and Lu Yi was just in time.
Liu Yan smiled and said to him: "You have a good mouth." ”
She didn't bake the rice cakes and eat them herself.
Lu Yi took off the rice cake with long chopsticks, blew it, and then started to break the rice cake in half.
Liu Yan reminded her: "Beware of being hot." ”
Lu Yi ate while blowing hot air, and a few pieces of baked rice cakes entered his stomach in a blink of an eye, and then poured a large cup of tea.
Liu Yan sat with his cheeks on the side and watched him eat.
It seems that every time he sees him, he is so anxious, as if he has been hungry for several meals without eating, and he doesn't know what this person is busy with every day.
Liu Yan thought so in his heart, so he asked.
Lu Yi wiped his hands with a smile and said to her, "Busy." ”
These two words can't easily send Liu Yan away.
What Lu Yi usually does can't be regarded as stealing chickens and dogs, but it's not all above board.
He thought about it, picked what he could say and said to Liu Yan: "I, what I usually do can be divided into two halves." Half of it was my errand, helping the chief judge to check the sentencing case, and before paying off a wave of unsolved cases. ”
Liu Yan nodded: "I know this." ”
"There are other things, not errands, but they have to be done. Some of them are entrusted by friends, and some of them are related to my own industry. ”
Liu Yan asked: "For example?" ”
Lu Yi thought for a while: "For example, last time I helped people find property. ”
Liu Yan still remembers this incident. Although it's not Lu Yi's business, but the relationship between people is like this, if you have something to ask someone else for help, then someone else will naturally have something to ask you for.
After a slight groan, Lu Yi continued: "There are still some things that are ordered by the emperor. ”
"Huh?"
"Does the princess remember the assassination of the palace?"
So how could she have forgotten?
"Since that incident, I have been tracking down the whereabouts of the assassins near the capital, and this matter cannot be investigated in a big way, but can only be carried out secretly."
"That," Liu Yan calculated what Lu Yi said in his heart: "No wonder you're always so busy." "It's no wonder that he doesn't die in a hurry to die of such things. Rice is expected to be eaten according to the meal, but I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep well.
The father's heart is also ruthless, and this can't catch a person and use it to death.
However, Liu Yan also knows that others want to ask the emperor to be reused like this, but I am afraid that they will not be able to ask for it.
"You haven't mentioned a word before." Liu Yan complained quietly.
Whether it was Lu Yi or her father, no one had ever told her about it.
Of course, Liu Yan doesn't really want to complain, what's the use of telling her about this? She can't help either, she can't help it, she's not bold enough, the last time the assassin in the palace made her a long time in the wind, and she must leave two more lamps in the dormitory when she sleeps at night, and some days she doesn't even want to put the tent down - she always feels as if someone is hiding outside the tent, and there will be danger in the dark at any time to kill her.
She just felt that there were some things that her father knew, and Lu Yi knew, and they had a tacit understanding between them, and they didn't mention a word to her, which made Liu Yan feel stupid and too easy to deceive.
"So have you caught an assassin all these years?" Liu Yan felt that this matter was too dangerous, and the assassins were all deadly, dealing with this kind of person, wouldn't it be like walking in front of the ghost gate all the time? Maybe you'll have one foot in the air at some point.
"I didn't catch a few alive." Lu Yi's answer also proved that Liu Yan did not guess wrong: "The ones who can be caught are all some small minions, and some of them don't know who they are working for at all, they only know how to do things with money, and if they are caught, they can rarely ask for anything useful from their mouths." Lu Yi glanced at her: "These things are very boring, let's not mention this." ”
Liu Yan felt that he was not worried about being bored, but worried about scaring her, so he deliberately wanted to change the topic.
"Are you full just eating rice cakes? Shall I have someone go to the kitchen and get some food? ”
Lu Yitan patted his stomach: "That's about it, let's ...... Let's talk about it, right? ”
To be honest, Liu Yan also felt a little reluctant to spend time on eating and drinking.
She especially wants to see Lu Yi these days, but it is really not easy for the two of them to meet. It was freezing cold, and Queen Cao didn't let her leave the palace casually. As for Lu Yi, of course, it is impossible to enter the palace to see her casually. From the first day of junior high school to today, Liu Yan has always been a little unrelenting.
"The people of Si Tianjian seem to be counting the marriage date." Lu Yi said softly: "I also quietly asked someone." ”
"This ......" Liu Yan felt that this calculation was unreasonable, she always felt that it was quite unreliable to look at the auspicious days. According to Liu Yan, as long as she doesn't pick a day like her big sister back then. The day the eldest sister got married was too hot, Liu Yan later recalled that day, except for Tian Lin wanting to ask the eldest sister to elope with him, he only remembered one hot word, and it was too much to choose to marry on such a day.
Of course, it's best not to be too cold, find a spring and autumn day that is neither hot nor cold, and it doesn't matter what day she thinks.
Lu Yi said: "There are suitable days every month, and the best days should be September and October. ”
"That's good, it's not cold or hot."
Lu Yi looked at her, feeling a little sweet and a little helpless.
The emperor has the final say on which day this date is set. If you follow Lu Yi's thoughts, I can't wait to get married tomorrow.
But the emperor may not be willing to marry his daughter to him this year.
