Chapter 33: The Temple Fair
Bumpy all the way, Liu Xie and Mo Yan came to the gate of Xudu, Liu Xie got out of the car first, and then stretched out his hand to help Mo Yan. After she stood firm, Liu Xie led the horse and said to her, "You wait for me here." ”
Mo Yan nodded, and Liu Xie handed over the carriage to the post coachman, who took the money and tied the horse to settle it. But the other party seemed to have said something to Liu Xie, but Mo Yan was so far away from him that he couldn't hear a word.
When Liu Xie returned to her, she was also very curious, "What did you say to that person?" When Liu Xie just wanted to answer her, he saw that Mo Yan was attracted by the vendor's stall, "Look at this plum hairpin, it is very small and exquisite, it must be suitable for Du'er, we will buy it back and give it to her, she will be very happy." ”
"Okay, buy it." Liu Xie had to pay for it, and this feeling was not in response to what the driver said. "Son and Mrs. are newly married?" "Sort of, exactly two months." "No wonder, the feeling in this eye is different. I've seen all kinds of people here, but people like Childe don't lie. Take your wife for a walk. Young people are just good. ”
"Look at this rouge, if it is applied to Dong ...... My sister's face is like the icing on the cake. Buy it. Mo Yan has always felt guilty about the events of that day, although Dong Lin is calm on the surface, no different from before, but she thinks that the other party must be uncomfortable in her heart. Mo Yan felt that she liked Liu Xie, no less than she liked Guo Xiaojia at that time, but Dong Lin was much more pitiful than her, the reason was that Dong Lin was an ancient concubine, and she had nothing to rely on except Liu Xie. Mo Yan really should find a time to talk to her and find a way to match the two of them, but when she really thought about it, she was a little resistant in her heart.
"Why don't you buy yourself some?" It is also very common sense for women to please themselves. Liu Xie's words interrupted her inner entanglement, but she quickly reacted and made a gesture to let Liu Xie attach her ears, "Bohe, first of all, there is no shortage of these in the Jiaofang Palace, and secondly, we are sneaking out of the palace to play, if we still buy a bunch of things we don't need, what do you think about the palace people?" It's okay to buy things, but you have to buy them well. Even if it was discovered, it was not good to say much after taking the gift. Mo Yan raised his eyebrows, as if to say that I, the queen, am not virtuous.
"Madame's words are reasonable, but let's make an exception today, I want a total of three boxes of rouge." Liu Xie paid the money, but Mo Yan didn't understand what he meant.
"One box for her, one box is naturally for my wife, but if I only say buy two boxes, you will definitely give this box to Chunyi, then I might as well buy three boxes, so that my wife also has rouge."
"The girl is so blessed to have such a good husband." The proprietress of the rouge shop said. Mo Yan lowered her face, grabbed Liu Xie and walked out, she didn't dare to look at Liu Xie at all, because her face must be red and hot at this time.
"Madam, if you catch it any longer, my sleeves will be broken."
"Madame, you're big! You call Mrs. again, you don't feel ashamed, I'm ashamed. "Liu Xie's tendon is wrong today, he actually called her wife again and again, although his current identity is indeed his wife, and the agreement also says that he is harmonious in front of people, but at this time outside the palace, is it also necessary?
"Ah Yan is angry?" Liu Xie reached out and touched her head, but was grabbed by Mo Yan. "How dare I be angry with the Son of Heaven. No, your hands are so cold, and your face is not very good. At the ceremony, she didn't notice anything wrong with Liu Xie, and now it seems that his face is much paler than usual, and his hands are not warm, but cold.
"It's just the wind blowing, Ah Yan doesn't have to take it to heart. We've bought almost all of our things, go to the inn to rest, and I'll take you to a place after you've eaten and drunk enough. ”
"Really don't lie to me? Well, it just so happens that I'm hungry too. After all, there is a little life in her belly, and she is always hungry faster than others, she touched her lower abdomen, and watched Liu Xie help her hold a bunch of "loot", she couldn't help but smile, she really had the feeling of a little couple visiting the market, but she pinched herself again, it must be cranky thoughts caused by pregnancy, not her own thoughts.
After the "wind and clouds", Mo Yan swept away the dishes in front of him, "I'm full." He wiped the corners of his mouth with a contented expression. She leaned back slightly, the window on the side was open, she could just see the movement outside the window, just in time to see the bustling market, not far away was the Xudu City Gate, she remembered the first time she crossed, if she didn't save the child, then it was very likely that she would not meet Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Qin Lang, Cao Zhi, Mrs. Bian, Mrs. Huan, Cao Chong and others, including Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian in front of her...... But if he doesn't save it, the child is very likely to ...... Although she has been involved in the whirlpool of history, she does not regret her actions at that time, but she doesn't know what happened to the child, many months have passed, and the child doesn't know if he has grown taller? "Girl, your fate will be extraordinary......" The old woman's words rang in her ears again that day, referring to this crossing or her future fate.
"Ah Yan?" Liu Xie's words pulled her back to reality.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I was distracted. Before I remembered, I saved a child, and it was in this place. Mo Yan stretched out his finger and pointed out, "I just don't know what happened to that kid." ”
"Ah Yan is soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and she will definitely be a good mother in the future." Mo Yan looked at Liu Xie squarely, Liu Xie's eyes were no longer unpredictable, his eyes were deep and firm, as sure as his words. How could he be so sure that she would be a good mother, it was not that he did not know what would happen to her when she gave birth.
Outside the window, there was the sound of gongs and drums, and the voices of people were boiling, and Mo Yan poked his head out to look outside. I saw that those who set up stalls all closed their stalls and made their debuts, and several people were wearing masks, and the masks depicted the sacred beasts believed in by the ancients, such as the green dragon, the vermilion bird, the white tiger, etc. Others held torches high and blew the fire even harder. As they danced, they were followed by the people, all of whom were pious.
"Let's go too, and pray for the unborn child." Liu Xie pulled Mo Yan up and prepared to go downstairs.
"Huh? What about our stuff? ”
"Xiao Er, please send our belongings to the city gate station, you say to the coachman, 'I have an appointment with Mrs. Bai Prime Minister', he must know. It's your pay. Liu Xie threw the two ingots of broken silver into Xiao Er's arms, and Xiao Er took the silver and thanked him repeatedly.
White heads? Before Mo Yan could calm down, he was already pulled downstairs by Liu Xie, they just caught up with the crowd, Liu Xie pulled Mo Yan to catch up with the team, Liu Xie's hand grabbed Mo Yan's hand tightly, did not let go, and told her to slow down. Liu Xie learned from those people to shout loudly, Mo Yan looked at his appearance, at this moment he had already let go of his status as an emperor, so let him be free and easy.
It was almost dusk, they were soft and warm in the twilight, in the eyes of others, this was just a normal couple, but in their hearts, it was like a broken bridge monopolizing their hearts, and they didn't know when a flat boat would take them ashore.
It was still the inn, when they turned around and left, it happened that Cao Pi came to the inn and sat in Mo Yan's place, and Mo Yan and Liu Xie just caught up with the crowd when Cao Pi was talking, just like the first dusk in August, he passed by Mo Yan.
The sky is cloudless during the day, the stars are bright at night, Liu Xie and Mo Yan put river lanterns outside the city of Xudu, this river lantern and the red silk silk tied to the top are still Liu Xie's "squeezed forehead" and snatched from people, the people want to pray through the temple fair, Mo Yan looks at the crowd of people, and does not want to fight, anyway, this superstition she doesn't care, but I didn't expect Liu Xie to really rush to the front for him to take the river lantern and the red silk of the word, making him, the emperor, "disgraced", but he laughed and said that this is a rare "experience", Mo Yan was both moved and helpless.
Mo Yan hesitated for a long time before mentioning the word, looking at Liu Xie in front of her, she still wrote down the big words "May Uncle and unify the world", although the words are not good-looking, but the feelings are sincere, if it is not for the wrong time, she believes that Liu Xie is a good emperor. Liu Xie did not hesitate to write down the eight words "mother and son are safe, return to their hometown", Liu Xiegang wanted to ask her if she had written it well, but she hid the silk behind her back, and she did not put it down until they came to the outside of Xudu City, and gently pushed away the river lantern tied with red silk.
"What are you doing? Put the river lanterns. Mo Yan also pushed the river lantern in Liu Xie's hand, Liu Xie was willing to do this for some reason, even if he ...... today But in order not to disappoint her, he has survived until now.
"Look at your face, it's like a big cat." Mo Yan put the handkerchief he carried with him on the surface of the river to wet it, wiped the dust off his face for Liu Xie, and looked at each other. Mo Yan's face was close at hand, Liu Xie's breathing was short, his eyes couldn't help but fall on her slightly open lips, and just when he wanted to kiss it, Mo Yan stood up, "It's not too early, we should go back, otherwise Yu Niang will be worried." ”
Liu Xiejian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he must have been sick and confused. also stood up together, but the moment she got up, she was a little dizzy, and she almost couldn't stand steady, Mo Yan also blushed, she didn't notice his expression, she just deliberately resolved it, after all, she is not a girl who has just fallen in love, if she doesn't say anything to resolve it, I'm afraid that Liu Xie will really kiss her.
"Get in the car, didn't I say I'm going to take you somewhere?" Liu Xie recovered quickly and his tone was calm.
"Huh? It's so late, no. ”
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be back before the end of the day."
Mo Yan thought that it would be difficult to get out of the palace, if he went back like this, he might not have the opportunity to leave the palace in the future, so he still got into the carriage, Liu Xie pointed to the direction of the river, "If you go down in the direction of this river, it will be Wancheng." I will take you to the border between Xudu and Wancheng, and if you are tired, sleep in the car for a while, and I will wake you up when you arrive. ”
