Chapter 258: After Dusk
Hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao's face suddenly stiffened, and a gloomy color appeared in her eyes.
Cui Pu was also stunned, and hurriedly hugged her tightly. "Don't think about that kid anymore, don't think about it anymore~"
As he spoke, his voice choked up.
Mu Jiaojiao slowly raised his eyes, and found that a crystal light appeared under his eyes, as if he was so sad that he was about to cry. Seeing this, her mood was heavy.
"What are you doing? I haven't even cried, you're going to cry?"
"Actually, I miss that kid too. I've been thinking about it, I've been thinking about it......" Cui Pu said, hugged her and buried his head in her neck socket.
Mu Jiaojiao noticed that her neck was beginning to moisten again......
"Hey!"
With a long sigh, she patted his head gently: "I haven't cried yet, what do you say you are crying? Last time, I was so sad and sad, I didn't have time to shed tears, but you cried before me." If you want to cry, I should cry first, okay?"
"I don't know, I'm just sad. Cui Pu sniffed and said sullenly.
Mu Jiaojiao rubbed his head again: "Okay, okay, don't be sad! ”
"Then you promise me that we will work hard to bring him back to life recently. Cui Pu rubbed her neck.
Mu Jiaojiao was speechless for a while.
Why, in the end, listening to what he meant, it seems like she owes him, and now she is still letting her have a child to compensate him?
How did this guy become so shameless?
Saying this, Cui Pu finally raised his head, and his red eyes stared at her for a moment: "You say, okay?"
Well, being looked at by him so pitifully, she didn't have the slightest resentment in her heart. knew that he was pretending, but she just didn't have the heart to tear his hypocritical skin.
"You know, I can't give birth right now. It would take a year for the bug to die completely, then be decomposed and disappear, and then its effects on my body would be completely gone. In other words, I will not be able to get pregnant again until August 15 of this year at the latest. Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.
"I know, isn't this a good discussion with you first? Let's prepare first, and after August 15, we will start working hard. You must conceive before the end of the year, and then give birth to that child next year!" Cui Pu hurriedly said. A serious look, as if he was discussing national affairs with her.
Mu Jiaojiao blinked, blinked again, and a trace of suspicion slowly crept into her eyes: "Are you deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid in order not to make me sad?"
"Oh, you've found out!" Cui Pu quickly smiled, "Actually, I'm really sad in my heart, you have to believe me......! I care more about your body than about your children. Seeing that you are sad for him, my heart is also sad. My sadness is also sincere! You have to believe me!"
Looking at those sworn eyes, Mu Jiaojiao shook her head speechlessly: "Forget it, don't talk about this." Let's discuss and discuss first, how to spend this Shangyuan Festival!"
"Okay, okay, let's have the Yuan Festival first!" Cui Pu succeeded, nodded quickly, and happily changed the topic with her.
This guy! Mu Jiaojiao pursed her lips, wanting to be angry, but found that she couldn't get angry anymore.
Hey, she's really planted on him in her life.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the county seat of Tianchang County is full of lights, especially on the avenue from the city gate to the county yamen, which is full of all kinds of lanterns early. There were also people from near and far who came from all over the world early. Before it gets dark, the streets are crowded. From a distance, it is bustling.
The night gradually became gloomy, Mu Jiaojiao stopped dressing up, stood up, and smiled at Cui Pu, who was waiting behind him: "I'm fine." ”
"Okay, let's go!" Cui Pu stretched out his hand and took her soft into his palm.
The two walked out of the county office and walked all the way to the temporary high platform next to the county office. When you go up to the second floor, you'll be able to see everything you see.
"The county lord and his wife are out! The county lord and his wife are out!"
Someone below immediately shouted, and then the people around gathered in this direction.
Immediately, the squires of Tianchang County stood up in two rows, saluted and shouted at the top: "On behalf of all the fathers and villagers of Tianchang County, we have come to greet the county and his wife!
"We also pay tribute to the county lord and his wife for a hundred years!" the other people also shouted, saluting one after another without mentioning it.
Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly returned the salute, saying auspicious words in their mouths.
When the New Year's greetings were over, the squires retreated, and then the gongs and drums sounded, and two colorful lions jumped out, galloping and jumping to the beat of the lively drums, and the interest was much higher than when they were greeted at the city gate.
After the lion dance, I saw a float drive out from behind the high platform. The floats are decorated with freshly bloomed plum blossoms and spring flowers, and the prettiest little ladies from each town stand on them. The little ladies wore colorful clothes, stood in the brocade of flowers, first brushed Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao on the top and bowed, and then gently stretched their dancing sleeves, and then gently pulled up the dancing sleeves, and performed a song on the spot.
Beauty, beautiful scenery, melodious singing fluttered away, and instantly attracted the attention of many people.
Seeing the float heading forward, everyone ran forward one after another, and the entrance of the government office was immediately much cleaner.
Cui Pu also wants this effect.
Pretending to stand on it for a while, seeing that everyone went over there to see the lanterns and chase the floats, he hurriedly and quietly pulled Mu Jiaojiao: "Let's go!"
"Huh, where are you going?" Mu Jiaojiao didn't react for a while.
"Just come with me!" quietly squeezed her eyes, Cui Pu pulled her and walked down.
The two of them retreated downstairs, and saw Hongdou and Xiao Si'er each holding a regular clothes. The two of them took off their heavy and luxurious dresses and changed into regular clothes, Cui Pu took two more masks, and buttoned them on his face and Mu Jiaojiao respectively, and then smiled proudly: "Now, I see who can recognize us!"
took Mu Jiaojiao's hand again: "Let's go, let's also enjoy the lanterns!"
Then he dragged her into the rolling stream of people below.
This time, in addition to the people from Tianchang County, there were also people from nearby counties and towns. So as the night went on, the number of people on the street increased instead of decreasing. Under the light of the roadside lanterns, with the bustling flow of people moving forward, Cui Pu couldn't help but whisper: "It seems that next year we have to find another way to come out to enjoy the lanterns." ”
Mu Jiaojiao quietly pinched him.
Cui Pu hurriedly screamed: "Lady, I'm wrong! I won't mention anything about officialdom, let's enjoy the lanterns, enjoy the lanterns!"
He pulled her and looked at her one after another. When he saw a lively little rabbit lantern, he quickly picked it up and sent it to her as if offering a treasure: "Lady, look, this little rabbit is not cute?"
"It was lovely. Mu Jiaojiao nodded.
"Do you think it looks like me?"
Belch...... Wasn't this rabbit for her?
The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched: "I think you are more like a fox." ”
"Nonsense, people are obviously the most docile and obedient little white rabbit! You are the cunning fox!" Cui Puyi said solemnly, and then grabbed a fox lantern and stuffed it into her hand, "Let's go, you carry this, I carry the little rabbit, let's continue!"
Mu Jiaojiao was speechless.
The two of them walked for a while, and then they heard someone shouting in front of them: "The cook of Wei Ji Restaurant has come out! Sweet potatoes will be distributed soon, everyone hurry up, there will be no more if you go late!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd boiled over in the middle of the crowd, and the flow of people rushed over there.
Cui Pu did not show weakness, and hurriedly pulled Mu Jiaojiao and ran over there.
When I got there, I happened to see a long platform spread out with a few tables at the door of Wei Ji Restaurant. There are all kinds of lanterns hanging overhead, illuminating everything below.
Baskets of washed sweet potatoes were carried out, and the cooks cut them, drew them, and steamed them in the pot on the spot.
In a short time, a burst of sweet smell permeated the streets. After walking around for so long, now that he smells the food, the gluttonous worms in Mu Jiaojiao's stomach also quietly poked their heads out and began to scream.
"Hungry, aren't you?" seemed to hear the voice in her heart, Cui Pu smiled at her, and stuffed his rabbit lantern into her hand, "Wait for me here, I'll come when I go." ”
"Hey, you-"
Mu Jiaojiao still wanted to say something, but she didn't want Cui Pu to slip away so fast. Before she could finish her sentence, he had already run away.
Seeing that more and more people were pouring here, surrounding the gate of Wei Ji Restaurant, and there were bursts of screams from time to time in front of him, Mu Jiaojiao's heart couldn't help but tighten more and more.
"Lady, Lang Jun, is he okay?" Seeing this, Hongdou couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in a small voice.
Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "He must be fine." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Cui Pu and Xiao Si'er coming out of the crowd one after the other and running over.
"Haha, come and see my results!" he hurriedly showed her the things at hand one by one, "Shredded sweet potato, roasted sweet potato, sweet potato lily porridge, these are all freshly baked, I grabbed the first one!"
Mu Jiaojiao was dumbfounded.
"How did you do that?"
With so many people and such a few things, it's usually good to be able to grab one, but he actually grabbed three in one go!
"Hey, as long as you have thick skin, quick eyes, and ruthlessness, what's not to do? If I don't want other people to have no food, I can still grab a lot of them back!" Cui Pu said triumphantly.
Mu Jiaojiao was speechless, don't start.
and the people under his rule to grab food, he, the county master, did a really unique job.
Cui Pu is now completely immersed in the joy of grabbing so much food. Handed over the things to Xiao Si'er and Hongdou, he hurriedly pulled Mu Jiaojiao again, and the two of them found a relatively secluded place, Hongdou spread out the blanket he brought, and then put a cushion for one of them, but Cui Pu refused to sit alone. He hurriedly pulled Mu Jiaojiao and let her sit on his lap, then picked up a roasted sweet potato, peeled it off and sent it to Mu Jiaojiao's mouth: "Come, taste it." ”
Mu Jiaojiao took a bite.
"Is it delicious?"
Mu Jiaojiao nodded.
Cui Pu took a bite of the place where she had bitten, immediately closed her eyes and sighed loudly: "It's really delicious! Lady, what you've eaten is much more delicious than the others!"
"You!" this guy, have you taken aphrodisiacs?
Mu Jiaojiao glared at him hard, and hurriedly wanted to push him away and sit by himself. It's just that Cui Pu quickly hugged her tightly, and happily attached to her ear and said: "Today I am happy in my heart! Watching the life in the county get better and better year by year, and watching the people become rich and healthy under my leadership, my heart is so funny! You will be happy and happy with me, let me go with the flow and debauchery, okay?"
Can she say it's not good? He's made it clear that he won't let go, okay!
Mu Jiaojiao looked back at the two red beans. only to find that Hongdou and Xiao Si'er had already retreated into the distance. Xiao Si'er didn't know where to conjure up a small portion of mochi, and he was carefully delivering it to the red beans. A flush could be seen on the skin as thick as Cui Pu.
"These two children ......"
Mu Jiaojiao shouted in surprise.
Cui Pu hugged her and couldn't stop laughing.
"Lady, now I have only one thought in my heart, do you know what it is?"
"What?"
"The years are quiet, and the present world is stable. ”
Mu Jiaojiao was slightly stunned, and Cui Pu hugged her again. "I'm so happy today, this should be the happiest Shangyuan Festival I've ever had in my life. Looking at the spectacle I have created in front of me, it is difficult to describe the pride I have made. It turns out that being an official is such a happy thing. I'm so happy to have you by my side, can you appreciate my current state of mind?"
Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "Yes. ”
Cui Pu smiled again.
"I knew you could, you're my lady!" he said, leaning back on her again, and said to himself happily, "It's a good day, it's good." I wish everything was still in this moment, and everyone could be so happy, how nice it would be......"
