Chapter 196: Courtship
It was the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, and Ye Chengwei was very anxious when he heard that the imperial court had ordered to prepare to exterminate the entire Yan Huaqing clan.
Just when he was at a loss, another holy decree from the imperial court came one after another, ordering him to immediately enter Beijing and lead the army to the battle.
Seeing that the expedition was imminent, he had a lot of things in his heart, and there were people he couldn't let go.
At night, he came to the Yangzhou restaurant outside the government office alone, asked for some dishes and wine, and tasted the wine casually.
Hua Rujin returned to Jiangxia City because of Wu Muning, and went to the post house to hold a reception banquet for her with King Ning, and learned from Wu Muning that Ye Chengwei was about to take command of the expedition, so he rushed back to the Inspectorate Department early.
But when I arrived at the government office, I didn't see any other figure, but I met Ting An at the door of the restaurant.
The little scholar was sullenly guarding outside the restaurant, and when he saw the flowers like brocade, he showed a smile.
"Your Excellency, but you're in there?"
Hua Rujin asked anxiously.
Ting An nodded: "Because of Yan Gongzi's collaboration with the enemy, the Yan family has been imprisoned, I am afraid that I will be beheaded after the autumn, Gongzi is upset, and I went to the restaurant alone, and I don't dare to go in and disturb." ”
"You go back and take care of the old lady, I am here, don't worry."
Hua Rujin said in a deep voice, and went straight to the restaurant.
When she arrived in Deya's room, she saw Ye Chengwei shaking the empty wine jug in her hand with a gloomy face, she cautiously leaned over and sat down beside him.
"Going to see King Ning again?"
Ye Chengwei turned his head and glanced at her, and asked casually.
"It's just that I used to pick up the wind for Miss Wu."
Hua Rujin also had no intention of talking to him about these trivial things, and said directly: "I also heard about the affairs of Yan Gongzi's family, Hengzhi you are going to enter Beijing to thank you, since you also believe that he was wronged, it is better to take this opportunity to boldly ask Your Majesty for a reward, you will definitely be able to avenge his grievances when you arrive at the border pass." ”
"Are you so sure I can avenge that guy?"
Ye Chengwei smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I was skeptical before, but now that His Majesty has ordered you to take command of the expedition, I believe in Wei Lao's speculation even more."
Hua Rujin almost said word for word, and replied in a firm tone: "It must be that King Fu is afraid that you will find out something, so he deliberately resorted to a delaying tactic and wanted to transfer you out of Jiangxia." ”
"You don't have to worry about that."
Ye Chengwei slowly put down the wine jug: "You pack up these two days, and I will send someone to send you back to Jiangling City." ”
After speaking, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table: "These five thousand taels of silver tickets are this year's silver, take these silver and go back to Jiangling City to live in peace, and you don't have to think about anything else in the future, if you like to open an inn, it doesn't hurt to open a few more." ”
"My lord is in command of the expedition, and I, as a staff member under your account, naturally want to go with you."
Hua Rujin looked at him in surprise.
Listening to his tone, it was as if he was arranging the aftermath.
"Nonsense."
Ye Chengwei angrily reproached: "When you arrive at the border, it is a battlefield, and it is full of dangers, isn't it?"
Thinking of Shu Jinxuan's death, he didn't dare to continue.
"I'm not afraid."
Hua Rujin looked at him with a smile: "With adults here, I'm not afraid of anything." ”
Ye Chengwei's eyes paused slightly, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when she kissed herself when she was drunk last year.
Right now, he is about to go on an expedition, and what he can't worry about the most is this Nizi.
I'm afraid that if she continues to thoroughly investigate the affairs of King Yun and King Fu, she will cause death.
"Hua Rujin, I know you have some ability, but there are some things you shouldn't get involved in."
Ye Chengwei persuaded earnestly: "If you believe me, listen to me, I will definitely return triumphantly, I promised you before that I would give you an explanation for the things you are worried about, and I will never break my word, you obediently go back to Jiangling City to take care of the family, if you are worried about our comradeship, you will go to visit my mother at home for me, so I will be satisfied." ”
Hua Rujin knew that he was worried about his safety, so he wanted to let him go back to Jiangling City.
This guy likes to keep everything in his heart, but since he has chosen to fight side by side with him, how can he let him face all the dangers alone.
Thinking back to what she heard from the yamen a few days ago, she suddenly approached Ye Chengwei and asked with a smile: "My lord, I heard that on the day of the Lantern Festival, the old lady was preparing for the marriage proposal for the adult, and even the bride price for the bride price was ready, why has there been no movement for so long?" ”
Speaking of this, Ye Chengwei was still a little unhappy in his heart.
Hua Rujin also learned in the past few days that he went to the He family alone that day because he wanted to go to the door to propose marriage, but he went to watch the lantern party with King Ning, and he was angry.
"I have always been in awe of King Ning, and I have no other thoughts."
Hua Rujin said tentatively with a coquettish tone: "Adults won't still be haunted by the events of that day, right?" If I had known that something happy was coming, I would have stayed at home and would not have gone anywhere. ”
Ye Chengwei quietly stared at her gently beating eyes, and after a long time, he suddenly turned his face away, and said casually: "Where did you hear about it?" ”
"That's what I'm worried about."
Hua Rujin saw that he was killed and didn't admit it, so he deliberately stimulated: "It's okay, since the adults are going to go on the expedition alone, it seems that they feel that I have no place to do it, I am just a girl's family after all, and when I go back to Jiangling City, I should indeed find a good family to live a safe and stable life." ”
Then he got up and left.
Ye Chengwei was in a hurry, and directly dragged her.
"What, what else do you have to say?"
Hua Rujin turned around and looked at him suspiciously.
"You don't have to provoke me, you should know that I don't mean to dislike you."
Ye Chengwei's mood suddenly became a little disordered.
"So, are you willing to take me on the expedition?"
Hua Rujin looked happy and asked with a smile.
"No."
Ye Chengwei didn't want to make trouble with her before leaving, so that she misunderstood herself, so he directly took her into his arms and said solemnly: "The current situation in Mobei is turbulent, and even I am not sure, so I will wait for me to come back." ”
He said that to this part, Hua Rujin is not good to force it anymore.
Feeling the fiery breath emanating from his chest for the first time, Hua Rujin was also a little excited in her heart, and tried to reach out and hug his waist.
Since King Fu wanted to take this opportunity to his detriment, she could no longer watch Ye Chengwei stand in front alone and bear everything.
That Luo Chuhuai kept saying that she wanted to protect herself, but she wanted to see what choice he would make between herself and King Fu.
"Tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival is a good day, it just so happens that my father and mother are here, so the adults will send someone to the house to propose marriage."
Hua Rujin poked her head out, raised her eyes and smiled at him gently: "I promise, I will stay at home tomorrow and wait for the arrival of adults." ”
This time, Ye Chengwei didn't refuse again, looked at her with a smile, and responded softly.
