After a cloud and rain, Ruyan lay on Jian Cheng's chest crookedly, Jian Cheng gently stroked her hair, both of them couldn't sleep, as if they were thinking about something, but their thoughts were very different, Ruyan's expression still looked a little worried, after all, their decision was not tolerated by secular etiquette. And Jiancheng is very happy, he has begun to imagine a better life in the future, and he is no longer the young man who has nothing to do all day, he has expectations and worries in his heart, but he doesn't know that the road ahead is difficult, and sure enough, women's minds are heavier than men's, and they are more thoughtful.

In the barracks, when the young man gently picked up the cloak and put it on for the middle-aged, I don't know if it was because he was moving a little bigger, or because of the soldier's natural alertness, and the middle-aged man immediately woke up. This iron-blooded middle-aged man who has been in charge of the military camp all the year round rarely showed a kind warmth and said, "Cheng'er, why do you have time to come to see me today." ”

Li Jiancheng slowly walked to the desk where the middle-aged Li Xiaojun was sitting, sat down cross-legged, poured a bowl of tea for the middle-aged, and said, "I haven't seen my father for a long time, and Cheng'er and grandma are a little worried about you." ”

Hearing Li Jiancheng say this, Li Xiaojun seemed to think of something, patted his head, and sighed: "I'm busy, I'm busy with things in this army, but I forgot that my mother's birthday is coming." He added: "The city has a heart." But after saying this, they fell silent for a while, as if the father and son were a little unfamiliar with each other, as if they had nothing to say, and they seemed a little overwhelmed by each other.

After a long time, Li Jiancheng broke the silence and said, "Father, it's been a long time since we've sat down like this and talked properly. ”

Hearing this question, Li Xiaojun couldn't figure out his son for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, it seemed that he was a little negligent in taking care of him, and he inevitably blamed himself in his heart: "It's all because my father usually only cares about things in the army, and takes less care of you; ”

Li Jiancheng didn't seem interested in these and changed the subject: "Father, do you remember how old is your son this year?"

When Li Xiaojun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, and then said: "Father is confused, our Seoul and Jiancheng have reached the age of marrying, especially Seoul, let's talk about it, which family's daughter has fallen in love with our family?"

Li Jiancheng laughed before he could speak, Li Xiaojun saw his appearance and teased: "When my family was still shy! This is the saying that men should get married, and women should get married; and if they are not girls, what are you shy, tell your father which family daughter she is, and your father will ask your grandmother to help prepare the dowry." ”

Li Jiancheng also said unpretentiously: "The child has fallen in love with the girl like smoke in Wenyuan Pavilion. Li Xiaojun stroked his beard, frowned and thought, where is this Wenyuan Pavilion! This famous Wenchen nobleman in Xiliang Mansion, and there is no one named Wenyuan Pavilion among the wealthy businessmen.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man roared angrily: "Bastard thing." Obviously, he remembered that this Wenyuan Pavilion was the Qinglou in Xiliang Mansion. Li Xiaojun didn't expect such a famous lady in Xiliang Mansion to fall in love with a dusty woman, and scolded angrily: "You rebel, where do you put the face of my palace, where do you put the face of my Li family's royal family?"

This upright character instantly ignited the anger of the father and son, Li Jiancheng was anxious, and said: "Why, I married and you didn't marry, why didn't you take care of your face and didn't let me marry the person I liked?"

Li Xiaojun had already carried away his anger, and slapped Li Jiancheng in the face.

Li Jiancheng was also upright, knowing that it was impossible, but he still let his anger control his mind, and said: "I just want to marry Ruyan girl, and I won't marry her." ”

Li Xiaojun was so angry that he couldn't speak, and pointed to Li Jiancheng, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "Rebel, you rebel, someone is coming." He commanded the soldiers who came in: "Send this rebel back to the palace, and do not allow him to leave the palace even a step." ”

Since Li Jiancheng was sent back to the palace, he was locked in the room, no matter how much trouble he made, no one paid attention to him, and the food sent to him was not touched for two days.

Qing'er was a little anxious, afraid that her little prince would be hungry, and she didn't know what was going on, so she hurried to the old lady to explain the matter.

When the old lady heard this, she was also anxious, she felt sorry for her precious grandson, and she didn't care about decency, so she took three steps and made two steps, went out of the palace, got into the carriage prepared by the subordinates, and hurried to the barracks.

As soon as the old lady entered the military tent, she was indiscriminate, and the reason for the matter was to say, "You kneel down for me." ”

Li Xiaojun didn't dare to disobey the old lady, so he could only kneel down and ask puzzledly: "Mother, why are you angry?" ”

The old lady was also very angry, and said, "What am I angry about, why am I angry, don't you know in your own heart?"

The son was stupid, and he didn't know where to make his mother angry, so he asked his mother to dial one or two. Li Xiaojun asked bluntly;

The old lady was even more angry, and snorted, "You still don't know what you've done wrong?" I asked why you locked up my grandson, and today, if you don't tell me a flower, you, you just kneel for me and don't think about it." The old lady was also ruthless, and Li Xiaojun told the old lady what happened.

After listening to his explanation, the old lady knew that she was at a loss, and her anger was half gone, knowing that her son was also for the face of the palace, and it was not appropriate to kneel like this, so she let him get up, and without saying anything, she left the barracks with the support of Li Xiaojun and rushed back to the palace.

Along the way, the old lady wondered very much, although her grandson was usually a little unlearned and a little loose, but she didn't make any too arrogant behavior, why did she marry a Qinglou woman?

The old lady seemed to remember that a month ago, her grandson's unusual behavior was reasonable. She returned to the palace and specially sent someone to Wenyuan Pavilion to invite Miss Ruyan to come over the mansion, but she never wanted to pounce on her, this Miss Ruyan had already left Wenyuan Pavilion.

The old lady thought that this woman was also an interesting person, and she knew the general situation, since this girl was no longer in Xixia, why was she still locked up her grandson! Therefore, she went to Li Jiancheng's courtyard to have a good meal of comfort, and seeing how much Jiancheng had listened to, she thought that if she was watching like this, sooner or later her grandson would be starved, so she withdrew the guards and left with confidence.

But this Li Jiancheng has only been in place for a few days, so he secretly packed his luggage, thinking that if you don't let me marry Ruyan, then I will elope, see how you stop me, who expected, just when I was about to leave, I was bumped into by Qing'er, and under Qing'er's soft grinding and hard bubbles, I had no choice but to take her and the old Wang Tou to leave the palace and go to the direction of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Li Jiancheng found the old bustard to explain his intentions, and never thought about the old bustard and said: "Childe doesn't know, a few days ago, as soon as you left on your front foot, Ruyan came to me and said that she was willing to parade the world on behalf of Wenyuan Pavilion, and she had gone to the Red Smoke Pavilion of the Song Dynasty." ”

There is a rule in this green building, that is, if there is a beautiful oiran in a local green building, you have to go to other places to stay in other green houses for a month, and you can also parade around the green buildings one by one, the purpose is to ensure that the business of the green buildings is prosperous, so that they will not be driven away by local women, and they can't do it, in their jargon, they are to help each other. But the premise is that this Qinglou has to give a compensation of 300 taels to the Qinglou who provides the Oiran.

The old bustard said again: "Before, I still wondered? I didn't want to persuade her before, my relationship was that I fell in love with you, and I was afraid that you would be embarrassed!"

Li Jiancheng thought to himself, "Well, I'll marry you, why just say I'll leave, I'll finally find someone I like and understand the meaning of life; you can rest assured, no matter how big the obstacles, I, Li Jiancheng, will definitely find you and marry you." So, these three people, forming a strange combination, embarked on the vast sea of people to find their wives.

Since Qing Yusheng left the woods, it was almost dusk, and he was worried that there was no place to rest, and he saw that there happened to be an inn not far ahead, so he went over to prepare for a night's stay.

Looking at this inn from a distance, you can't find anything special, but as long as you observe carefully, you will find that there is no store in front of the village here, how can someone open an inn here?

Qing Yusheng didn't notice these details and walked straight to the inn.

I saw that in the hall of this inn, there were more than a dozen tables, each of which was sitting in twos and threes, almost everyone was carrying weapons, talking in a few words, which seemed to be very harmonious, but it would inevitably make people feel a depressing atmosphere.

Qing Yusheng stood in front of the counter, wanting to take a closer look at these people, but at this time, a simple young man came in, with well-developed muscles, which made him look even more honest, and I saw him shout: "Shop, I want a good guest room." ”

The shopkeeper was not very kind, and said, "I'm sorry, there are no more high-class rooms, and there are still a few medium-class rooms, do you want to?" This conversation interrupted Qing Hansheng's train of thought, and he wanted to be afraid that there would be no guest rooms later, so he also asked the shopkeeper for a room.

The innkeeper sent the two of them to the upstairs room, and Qing Yusheng asked the guy to prepare hot water for him, and went down the mountain for several days, and finally he could wash up well, and wait until Qing Yusheng finished washing. It was already supper time, and when he saw that there was no one to deliver the food, he went out of the room and went downstairs, but the hall was very deserted, and there were only two people at the table, and there were only two people besides the shopkeeper and the man, but he did not pay much attention, but asked the shopkeeper for some wine and food, and found a table near him to sit down, and when the man brought the food, he ate quietly.

Suddenly, a person came over, walked to his table, and said with a sincere smile: "Brother, do you mind building a table together?" Qing Yusheng looked up and saw that it was a simple young man this afternoon, with a warm look on his face at this time, and he didn't want to refuse, so he made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Since my brother doesn't dislike it, let's sit down and enjoy it together!"

The young man brought over the wine and food on his table with a smile, and said, "I'm most afraid of being lonely, so let's have a companion and say that conversation is better than being lonely." My name is Nangong Bo, I don't know what my brother is called!" Before Qing Yusheng could introduce himself, another young man also came over with a wine glass and said, "Since this Nangong brother said that this is deserted, why don't you take one with me, and let the brother and I have a lively time, wouldn't it be happy for the three of them to drink together." ”

Qing Yusheng saw that the two of them looked friendly, and they didn't make people feel bored, so he got up and said: "This brother is reasonable, the children of the rivers and lakes, it is also appropriate to take care of each other, if you don't dislike it, then sit with us, just make a friend, and go down to Qing Yusheng." ”

Seeing this, the young man was not restrained, and also brought his own wine and food, and said: "Brother Qing, Brother Nangong, in the next Dongfang Xian." The two also responded, although Nangong Bo called him "Brother Dong", but Qing Yusheng called him "Brother Dong".

When the young man heard this, he laughed and said, "Brother Qing, my surname is Dongfang, how can you call me Brother Dong?" obviously didn't mind, and explained with a frank smile; ”

Dongfang Xian apologized embarrassedly when he heard it: "It's me who is abrupt, I punish myself, and I will treat it as making amends to Brother Qingyu." Qing Yusheng didn't plan to care about anything, so he also picked up his wine glass and said: "It's me who is not good, knowing that my brother has reinstated his surname, and he made a joke with his brother, please don't blame." ”

Seeing this, Dongfang Xian said: "No, no, it's my brother, I'm lonely." Seeing this, Nangong Bo smiled and said, "It's indeed a coincidence, a toast to the fate of the three of us who are all compound surnames." ”

Seeing this, the two also said: "Brother Nangong is right, such fate, you really should have a drink." The three of them drank it all. Nangong Bo said: "This wine glass is too small to be enjoyable, what do the two brothers think about changing it to a big bowl?" The two agreed, and then exchanged for a large bowl and talked while drinking.

Dongfang Xian said: "I don't know how the two brothers came to this place?"

Nangong Bo was also drunk, or too frank and honest, defenseless, forgetting that the three of them had just known each other for a while, and said, "I just came down from the mountain, preparing to go home, passing by here." ”

Seeing that Nangong Bo was so honest, Qing Yusheng didn't hide it too much, and said, "Coincidentally, I also just came down from the mountain and am ready to experience it on the rivers and lakes." I wonder how the Eastern Brothers are here?"

Dongfang Xian smiled bitterly: "I had some disputes with the elders in the family, but I ran away from home in anger." ”

When Nangong Bo heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Dongfang, frank to my liking, come and I will toast you." ”

Nangong Bo was obviously a little drunk. Qing Yusheng was more thoughtful and asked, "Then Brother Dongfang, where do you plan to go in the future?"

Dongfang Xian thought for a while and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, just take a walk! I don't know if the Qingyu brothers are willing to get together and roam the rivers and lakes together. ”

Qing Yusheng thought about it and said, "I also just came down the mountain, I don't know where to go, I'm just afraid that my brother will follow me, and I'm a little embarrassed for you." Before he could wait, Dongfang Xian responded, and Nangong Bo said: "If you want me to say, if the two brothers don't dislike it, they will come to my house to live for a while, and wait for me to report to the old guy in my family that he is safe, and the three of us brothers will go through the rivers and lakes together, how about it?"

The two thought for a while and said, "It's okay, it's just Brother Nangong's." Nangong Bo was even more happy when he heard this, and said forgetfully: "Come on, don't think about these first, let's drink." ”

The two of them are also having fun, forgetting to go out and be careful. also drank it, and the three of them gradually got excited, and the more they drank, the bigger they became, and they were completely drunk today, and they didn't know how long it took for them to get drunk on the table.

At midnight, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and soon a group of people entered the inn, and when the shopkeeper saw this group of people, he immediately walked up to him and said, "I have seen the second master." ”

This man with a scar in the corner of his eye, with a fierce face, is obviously the kind of grass Kou who has lived in the mountains for a long time, but he has more temperament than the grass Kou, and he can't tell why it gives people this feeling, he didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Liu Laosi, how many are there today?"

When Liu Laosi saw this person, he had long lost the look of ignoring him during the day, but was submissive, obviously afraid of this person, and said respectfully: "If you go back to the second house, just these three guys have been drinking here all night." As he spoke, he pointed to the three people who were lying on the table and were drunk.

The second boss did not praise him, but said: "It will be the birthday of the big boss in a few days, be smart, don't make a mistake." He added: "Recently, the government has been investigating tightly, don't provoke those who can't afford to provoke." ”

Liu Laosi responded respectfully, and the two masters didn't talk nonsense, so they asked their subordinates to tie up the three of them, throw them on horseback, and take their luggage, and then rode the horse and galloped away in the direction of the mountain.
