Ministers made me a male queen
Chapter 65
When Jiao Yun and the others returned to Changyang County, it was getting dark. Jiao Yun invited him back to the tavern for a meal. Tao Xutang coughed and waved his hands: "It's too late today. You and Brother Bo are going too these days." It’s all hard work, I don’t have to go to the Yamen to report tomorrow, just rest for a day.”
Jiao Yun naturally had no objection, but...
He pulled Tao Xutang to the corner, secretly glanced at Nie Baichang who was waiting for him by the side holding his horse, murmured and whispered to Tao Xutang: "Old Tao, you can't tell mother about Wuchun County, even if it is Pretending...but if I let my mother know about me and Nie Xiaobai...she might break my leg."
Tao Xutang couldn't help laughing: "Your mother is not so violent."
"Where, then you haven't seen it before..." Just at the beginning, seeing Tao Xutang's protective appearance, he elbowed him, "Yo, it's not too late to start maintenance? In the eyes of beholders Out of Shih Tzu?"
"You child!" Tao Xutang's ears turned redder, "Stinky boy! Don't talk nonsense!" But when Jiao Yun said this, he was even more embarrassed. Actually know.He coughed lowly, feeling even more uncomfortable, and took a sneak peek at Jiao Yun, his momentum weakened a little, and he whispered softly, "Don't, don't talk nonsense in front of your mother, be obedient."
What if Wanniang is thin-skinned and doesn't get along with him?
He finally waited for several years to come back, hoping to marry someone as soon as possible.
Jiao Yun straightened his chest: "Well, it depends on your performance, my lord." He deliberately teased Tao Xutang, watched him laugh and curse, and quickly ran away, "Remember what I said, what I told Liu Xiong I'll leave it to you."
Liu Xiong was the only yamen servant who went with them, and he was afraid that the other party would not take it seriously and make jokes.The speaker had no intention of listening, but he was afraid of causing trouble for Nie Xiaobai.
Liu Xiong heard the second half of the sentence, "Brother Jiao, what do you want me to do? You just say it, and I will obey you."
Jiao Yun gave him a light tap on the shoulder, let Liu Xiong lead the two horses back to the Yamen, and he took Nie Baichang back to the tavern.
Jiao Yun guessed that Lao Tao also wanted to go back to the tavern with them, but after walking for a few days, the yamen might still have a lot of work to do, forget it, seeing how hard Lao Tao was working so hard, he would go to the yamen tomorrow to have a look.
The two walked side by side, met many acquaintances who greeted each other, and Jiao Yun responded one by one.
Nie Baichang was silent all the way, but he probably couldn't hold back in the end, and asked softly, "What did you and Mr. Tao say?"
Jiao Yun pulled him over, leaned closer and lowered his voice: "What else is there, let him tell Liu Xiong to shut his mouth, and not let him reveal all the things in Wuchun County, in case people really believe that there is nothing wrong with us, It will delay your township examination." In fact, even if Liu Xiong really said it, the big guy would not believe it, but it is one thing to miss one thing.
Nie Baichang hummed, not knowing what he was thinking, but Jiao Yun didn't think too much.
When she returned to the tavern, Wanniang saw that they almost couldn't hold back their red eyes. She usually didn't feel it, but suddenly both of them had been away for several days. I'm back!" Hurriedly cooked for them, closed early, and asked about the situation in the past few days.
Jiao Yun avoided the part where he and Nie Baichang were acting, and told how to catch the murderer who killed seven people in a row. He said it was dangerous. Hearing that, Wanniang was very worried, afraid that they would be hurt, and she reassured after making sure: "This, this is too dangerous."
Jiao Yun blinked, and suddenly sighed, with a solemn expression: "At that time, in order to catch the murderer, Mr. Tao was so dedicated that his wrist was twisted, but no, in order to deal with the official duties accumulated in the past few days, he didn't even have a meal at night. After eating, go back to the yamen to handle official business. Mother, this bachelor is just not good enough, he can't even eat hot food."
Nie Bochang looked over strangely: When did Master Tao get injured?
Jiao Yun secretly pinched Nie Baichang's wrist under the stone table and scratched it, and continued to worry about Mr. Tao's many things.
From the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of my mother's absent-minded expression while answering casually, and almost stopped laughing. When it was almost time, she pulled Nie Baichang to stand up, touched her full belly: "Mom, I have traveled for half a day. If you are tired, go back to sleep first, and you should rest earlier."
Wanniang agreed casually and told them to go quickly.
Jiao Yun waited all the way back to the dormitory, clutching his belly and laughing: "Nie Xiaobai, did you see that, my mother is worried, and she said she has no idea about Lao Tao, I'll see... Lao Tao will probably take over soon It's gone." Lao Tao, Lao Tao, don't say I treat you badly, my son may have turned his elbows outward.
Nie Bochang picked him up: "It's cold on the ground, so I'm not afraid of freezing."
"Cough cough, am I happy for them?" Jiao Yun finally stopped laughing, coughed lowly, and stretched his waist to resolve Wanniang's marriage. He could feel a big stone in his heart, he didn't really mean it. But after all these years of getting along, he really regards Wanniang as a relative.
But if he is not in Changyang County in the future, at least Wanniang will have a family, at least she won't be so sad.
Over the years, Lao Tao is a person who can be entrusted to him for life, and if he has concubines and concubines, he naturally doesn't mind having multiple stepfathers.
It's just that Jiao Yun's happiness didn't last for a while, Nie Baichang said suddenly: "Speaking of which, I think you should worry about yourself rather than Aunt Wan and Master Tao."
Jiao Yun pointed to himself: "Me? What should I worry about?"
Nie Baichang's eyes swept over his outstanding face, and finally landed on one place: "Mrs. Li, Miss Li, Mr. County Magistrate."
Jiao Yun:? ? ?The county magistrate?
When he finally came to his senses and realized what Nie Baichang meant, his mind buzzed: he was only thinking about Wanniang and Lao Tao, and forgot another important thing.
Now he is just a matchmaker, but he is rushed to be a matchmaker by so many matchmakers. Once Wanniang and Lao Tao get married, he will immediately become the county magistrate, what the hell...the matchmaker for him is even more...not to mention Said that because of Liang Da's incident, Li Shi wished to marry Li Xiqian to him immediately.
When Jiao Yun got up the next day, he was still listless. When he went to the county office, he found that Tao Xutang was full of energy, with a smile on his lips. Yun stepped forward and waved his hand violently: "Hey! My lord! I have returned to my soul!"
Tao Xutang coughed in embarrassment: "What?"
Jiao Yun glanced at him: "My lord, what's the happy event, seeing you smiling?"
Tao Xutang turned his body slightly, avoiding Jiao Yun's gaze: "What's the matter? I just want to do business." Actually, he has been writing letters to Wanniang recently, but Wanniang didn't express much, but yesterday she let The waiter in the tavern sent a meal box, saying that Jiao Yun asked him to deliver it.
But Tao Xutang knew about Brother Yun, so he couldn't think of it, so he could only...
And the dishes are Wanniang's craftsmanship.
But Jiao Yun didn't let him go, glanced up and down, thought for a while, and cut straight to the point: "I'm talking about Lao Tao, what on earth are you thinking?"
He figured it out, if Nie Xiaobai wins the provincial examination in two months, then he will take the examination in March next year. The capital city is far away from them, so they have to leave long in advance, and maybe they will be ready to go after the new year the capital.
He planned to go to the capital with Nie Xiaobai to rush for the exam, and it would take at least half a year to go. In case Nie Xiaobai went to high school, he would stay there for a while. He hasn't really been separated from Wanniang for so long. He is not at ease in Changyang County alone, and he also wants to go to the capital to see if he can do some business. He is not willing to stick his business to Qingzhou Prefecture.
So he had already thought about it before, and it would be best to settle Wanniang's lifelong affairs before sending Nie Xiaobai to Beijing.
Tao Xutang didn't expect Jiao Yun to speak directly, he coughed lowly, but if he as an elder couldn't face such a thing, how could he win the trust of the younger generation, he really wanted to live with Wanniang for the rest of his life.
Tao Xutang took a deep breath, his face became solemn, he raised his head and looked at Jiao Yun: "Brother Yun, let's talk about it today, you, you..." Although he had thought about it countless times when he was out of town a few years ago In the scene of the showdown with Jiao Yun, I also thought about the words, but when I really came to him, I still couldn't help being nervous, even more nervous than when he was able to try back then, "You...what's your impression of me?"
His last sentence was low and trembling with nervousness, but his gaze on Jiao Yun was serious and sincere.
Jiao Yun didn't expect Tao Xutang to ask such a question suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and thought about it seriously, "The impression is actually not perfect."
"Ah?" Tao Xutang became even more nervous, he couldn't figure out what Brother Yun meant, this is... dissatisfied with his stepfather?He just wanted to ask if there was anything wrong that he could change.
Jiao Yun suddenly changed the subject: "Of course...you are the most perfect husband to my mother." If you want to have face, you have to persuade, and you can bear hardships and stand hard work. After so many years, you still don't change your mind. The mother-in-law is pressing down, and no one can get past her.
After all, if it is done, Wanniang will be the county magistrate's wife, and the whole Changyang County has to respect her as a wife.
But it is the most perfect.
Tao Xutang was stunned, and then couldn't hold back a sigh of relief: "You kid... you scared me to death!" I thought Brother Yun was unwilling!
Jiao Yun giggled closer: "Okay, I won't say much about beating around the bush. I have no problem with you wanting to be my stepfather. Of course, this is only before marriage, but if you treat my mother badly or take responsibility after marriage If you have her, you have any crooked thoughts, such as taking a concubine to take over the house, which is not acceptable to me, if you like my mother, you have to guard her for the rest of your life, otherwise... I will never agree to this marriage. "
Tao Xutang was helpless: "What else can I do besides your mother..." He didn't confiscate the house when he was young, let alone when he was old.
He is no longer young now, and he has no other thoughts, "I promise to only marry Wanniang, and I will never betray her in this life, and I will not accept concubines, otherwise, I will do as you please?"
Jiao Yun naturally believed him, and cast a glance at him: "Why are you telling me this, if you say it, you are telling your future wife."
Tao Xutang's ears turned red again: "You, you really are..."
"Want to say I'm not old or young? Hey, don't have a stepmother after you have a stepfather...Baby feels bitter."
"Wh-what stepfather and stepmother, you... brat!" Tao Xutang finally found out that this brat was here to make fun of him, "Then, will your mother... agree?" Although he He could know Wanniang's intentions, but after all, he never really asked, he was afraid that in case...
Jiao Yun had a headache: "Old Tao, you don't really plan to go directly to a matchmaker, do you? You don't want to propose marriage?"
Tao Xutang was stunned: "Huh? Marriage proposal?"
Jiao Yun hooked his fingers: "Forget it, you have taken advantage of it, let me teach you a trick."
Even if he really wanted to marry, his mother had to nod in person, otherwise, he wouldn't be such a bad person.
Listening to Jiao Yun's words, Tao Xutang didn't come back to his senses for a long time: "It's still like this?"
Jiao Yun: "Why, don't you dare?"
Tao Xutang gritted his teeth and said, "Dare!" He has been studying for six or seven years, and he doesn't want to wait anymore.
The next few days will be calm and peaceful. Tao Xutang did not dare to go to the tavern in order to prepare for a few days. He was afraid that when he saw Wanniang there, he could not help but blush and heartbeat when he thought of what he was going to do. thought……
He didn't go here, Wanniang didn't feel much at first, but suddenly she didn't come for six or seven days, she felt something was wrong in her heart, but the uneasiness and panic spread, as if the person who had been in front of her had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
This feeling of heartache and uneasiness made her unable to eat for a few days. Jiao Yun didn't see it in her eyes, so she had to let her mother understand her own thoughts, otherwise, she would be hesitant because she didn't want to. Face up to your own heart, if you really reject Lao Tao, it is estimated that Lao Tao's heart will be half-hearted.
When he finally got Lao Tao's letter, Jiao Yun made an agreement with Nie Baichang in advance, looked at Wanniang who was absent-minded after closing the tavern that night, stepped forward and embraced Wanniang's arm, and rested his chin on Wanniang's shoulder: "Mother, we How long has it been since you went for a walk?"
Wanniang couldn't help laughing when she saw him like this: "How old are you still acting like a baby? I'm not afraid that Brother Bo will laugh at you."
Jiao Yun glanced at Nie Baichang, "He doesn't dare to laugh at me. It just so happens that the moonlight is very bright tonight, so why don't we go for a walk?"
Nie Baichang responded from the side: "Aunt Wan, let's go for a walk, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
Even Nie Baichang opened his mouth, and Wanniang had been in an inexplicable mess for two days, so she agreed, so the three of them walked leisurely with a lantern in their hands, and Jiao Yun started from that year. Speaking of setting up a stewed meat stall, she said that when she heard that he didn't go to school, she almost beat him up.
Wanniang couldn't help but shook her head: "When am I going to beat you up? But just say a few words to you, you'd be kind...I must recognize Mr. Tao as my master." Speaking of Tao Xutang, Wanniang lowered her eyes to cover the darkness in her eyes. In the past two days, I have thought a lot, and even wondered if she has been refusing to respond, and he gave up?Decided not to wait for her anymore?
This kind of panic spread, making her heart bitter, but her feelings were always restrained, she couldn't do anything to find him, she could only gather all her feelings in her heart again.
Jiao Yun: "Yes, they say that one day will be a teacher and life will be a father, and I don't know who will be my teacher's wife in the future." After speaking, he sneaked a glance at Wanniang, and sure enough, he saw the expression on his mother's face that almost didn't hold back. .
Because of these words, Wanniang was in a trance all the way, and she didn't even see clearly that Jiao Yun and the others took her to the lake where lanterns were usually set off, but because tonight was not the Lantern Festival, there was no one here.
In addition, it was late and there was no one there.
Wanniang kept walking, but suddenly she didn't hear Jiao Yun's voice, she was stunned for a while, and finally looked around, and found no one, no one behind, only a stream and lake not far in front, not very wide, she just thought Turning around and going back to find Jiao Yun and the two, suddenly a water lantern floated over from the other side of the abandoned bridge.
Wanniang was taken aback, staring blankly at the water lamp, she didn't know how it was made, the outside was paper, and inside was a lamp, usually she had only seen various animals or other shapes, but this time, it was In the shape of a lotus flower, there is a small figure standing in the middle, holding a heart shape on top of his head. These form a whole, which is obvious in the dark night when illuminated by the inside.
And this is just the beginning, with the first, second, third...
Countless lanterns drifted towards her slowly in the water, and following the starlight gathered by the lanterns, a person wearing a brand new robe walked towards her with a brighter heart-shaped lantern, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, There is a smile on the corner of the mouth, the eyes are reflected by the light as if they are full of starlight, and the deep affection is permeated, as if it is her heart and eyes.
Wanniang was stunned, and she couldn't recover for a long time. She could only watch Tao Xutang approaching, and then approaching, and finally stood a few steps away from her. I wanted to marry you before, but I came here with responsibilities on my shoulders, so I had to leave. Now that I am back, I will never leave again. Wanniang, can you give me a chance to take care of you in the future? Don't worry , I know you are insecure, I will use my character and this black shawl on my head to guarantee that I will never take a concubine, nor will I have any entanglements with other women.
I just want to keep you alone, live our own little life, and Brother Yun.I was alone when I came here, and I planned to die alone, but seeing you... I am not reconciled to being alone, if you want, we will add another brother and sister to Brother Yun; if you don’t want to, Then we only have one child, brother Yun, and I will take care of him as my own son.So, are you willing to give me this chance to take care of you to take care of Brother Yun? "
Wanniang was completely dumbfounded, she looked at Tao Xutang in disbelief, and when she finally recovered and understood what Tao Xutang said, her pretty face was flushed, "You, you..." What did he say?Who, who wants to add a brother or sister to Brother Yun with him?
Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang were also dumbfounded hiding in the flowers, Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang looked at each other: Damn, I didn't teach him that!
Okay, old Tao, you can learn by yourself.
Wanniang panicked, "I, I don't know what you are talking about..." She turned around and was about to leave.
Tao Xutang was frightened, and bravely stepped forward to block her way: "Wanniang, I really like you, I came here with a mission on my shoulders, and I was thinking of someone like me, so it's not good to delay others. After seeing you , I'm afraid... I'm afraid that if you marry someone else, I, I..."
Wanniang lowered her head, twisted her handkerchief and didn't dare to look at him at all: "You, if you dare not delay others, you will delay me!"
"No, it's not..." Tao Xutang was also in a hurry, scratching his ears and cheeks, "Just, that's..." In the end, his voice was low, and he couldn't help whispering: "I can't help it..."
So all the previous assumptions and excuses became excuses. He wanted to marry her and make her his wife.
But Jiao Yun didn't hear clearly, tilted his head and approached Nie Baichang, "What did he say later?"
Nie Bochang glanced at him, and finally shook his head lightly, "It's nothing." It's just that the hand holding the weeds couldn't help tightening, it was hard to help, so it was obviously impossible to do it anyway, I'm afraid that if you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life .
Wanniang's original movement was suddenly startled because of these four words, and the movement of twisting the handkerchief also fell silent, and finally couldn't hold back a tear from falling.
Tao Xutang panicked, "Wanniang, don't cry, I was wrong, I shouldn't force you, if you don't want me, I will..." He still wanted to marry her, but he couldn't bear to see her in trouble.
Wanniang's voice was hoarse: "Who said I don't want to... But, but you are the county magistrate, I... I am a businesswoman, we... Even if you are willing, what about your family? Your relatives far away in the capital What?" She raised her head boldly, her eye circles were red, there was affection but also hesitation in her eyes, she was afraid, she was afraid that he would be rejected by his family, and she was also afraid that brother Yun would be ridiculed and overestimated.
Tao Xutang was so distressed by her crying, "No, they won't stop it, otherwise, at my age, if they wanted to interfere with my marriage, they would have let me marry a long time ago. The reason why I came here you should I can guess one or two, since I choose such a way, it would be best if I don’t marry a wife, but if I do marry a wife, I can’t marry someone with high status, and you are the most suitable, it’s like a special… No, like It's a match made in heaven, God destined us..."
Tao Xutang blushed at the end and couldn't continue.
Jiao Yun's hearing was disgusting, but looking at the two people in front of him, I'm afraid it's because his mother can say aloud... At least there is a reason for this. He and Nie Baichang looked at each other and left secretly, leaving the future couple's affairs to them. Tell yourself.
Wanniang came out in a hurry after a stick of incense, her eye circles were still red, but her brows and eyes were stretched and the corners of her mouth were smiling, but when she saw Jiao Yun, the corners of her mouth were pressed down, she ignored him, and walked away.
"Mother, dear mother, I was forced. It was Lao Tao who forced me to bring you here...and asked me and Nie Xiaobai to stay here and not allow me to go any further. The wind I have been blowing for so long is so cold, mother , you look back at the baby, the baby is so miserable." Jiao Yun played tricks, and deliberately hung on Nie Baichang.
Wanniang couldn't hold back her snort, and turned her head: "You really didn't go there?" Her face was blushing, and the roots of her ears were so red, fortunately, it was covered by the darkness of night.
Jiao Yun raised his hand, feeling that it wasn't enough, and lifted Nie Baichang's too: "We promise, by the way, mother, what did Lao Tao ask you for? It can't be my son, did I do something wrong? He is my master. , Even if you made a mistake, you shouldn't sue your parents, this old Tao is really good!"
"You child, what old Tao!" Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief, and when she recovered, she couldn't help but cursed again.
Jiao Yun leaned over and said, "Okay, okay, can you stop talking about the baby?" That's it, Lao Tao, I'm really rushing to be someone's son!
Wanniang was sure that Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang didn't know, so she didn't feel so embarrassed, she hurried back and hid herself in the room, and didn't show up the next day until Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang left the house.
Jiao Yun knew it well, and walked slowly to the Yamen, and saw Tao Xutang waiting there at a glance, walking around, and when his eyes lit up, he walked over: "Hey, Brother Yun." From the corner of the eye, I saw Nie Baichang waving his hand.
Afraid of his embarrassment, Nie Bochang went to the academy quickly.
Tao Xutang dragged Jiao Yun back to the study anxiously, and when the door was closed, making sure no one could hear him, he said excitedly, "Brother Yun, your mother agrees! Look, when do you think I'm going to be hired?"
The author has something to say: La la la, I have opened this book and pre-ordered it. If you are interested, you can pre-order it in advance~ Pen refill~
"I Fatty Emperor Beast in the Palace"
Introduction: As the unfavored son of the prime minister's family, Xie Yan has been paralyzed since wearing it.
But the mistress skipped food and clothing, and his aunt was seriously ill, so he could only secretly go out of the house to sell calligraphy and paintings to live in poverty.
One time when he came home late and didn't want to be discovered, he strayed into the forbidden area in the backyard of the mansion, and found a secret passageway that was dark and dark, in which was actually imprisoned a sleepy beast that couldn't distinguish its species, was tortured and starved to the point of starvation.
Xie Yan was moved with compassion for a moment, and would feed him after he sneaked out of the mansion.
After half a year like this, Xie Yan went to feed again and found that the trapped beast was no longer there.
The emperor who had been missing for three years suddenly returned, punishing the prime minister for the crime of treason.
Xie Yan thought that he would die for sure, but was told that he was of the blood of the monarch of a neighboring country. Between being wiped out and fleeing, Xie Yan decisively chose the latter.
It's just that he didn't expect that when he arrived in a neighboring country, he discovered that he was found only as a pawn for two purposes, one was to go to Ruan country to make peace, and the other was to assassinate the emperor of Ruan country.
Xie Yan: ...
One day after Xie Yan got married and was thrown into the cold palace without seeing anyone, he accidentally broke into a place and found a beast that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Excitedly, Xie Yan grabbed the beast, took out the cake in his bosom and stuffed it into the beast's mouth: I'm hungry and skinny!
A certain emperor: emmmmm, the feeding technique of this big cake is very skillful and familiar...
CP: The luck is overwhelming, the strength is infinite, pretending to be stupid and suffering from X, bad luck, no need to eat, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, dragon attack
Jiao Yun naturally had no objection, but...
He pulled Tao Xutang to the corner, secretly glanced at Nie Baichang who was waiting for him by the side holding his horse, murmured and whispered to Tao Xutang: "Old Tao, you can't tell mother about Wuchun County, even if it is Pretending...but if I let my mother know about me and Nie Xiaobai...she might break my leg."
Tao Xutang couldn't help laughing: "Your mother is not so violent."
"Where, then you haven't seen it before..." Just at the beginning, seeing Tao Xutang's protective appearance, he elbowed him, "Yo, it's not too late to start maintenance? In the eyes of beholders Out of Shih Tzu?"
"You child!" Tao Xutang's ears turned redder, "Stinky boy! Don't talk nonsense!" But when Jiao Yun said this, he was even more embarrassed. Actually know.He coughed lowly, feeling even more uncomfortable, and took a sneak peek at Jiao Yun, his momentum weakened a little, and he whispered softly, "Don't, don't talk nonsense in front of your mother, be obedient."
What if Wanniang is thin-skinned and doesn't get along with him?
He finally waited for several years to come back, hoping to marry someone as soon as possible.
Jiao Yun straightened his chest: "Well, it depends on your performance, my lord." He deliberately teased Tao Xutang, watched him laugh and curse, and quickly ran away, "Remember what I said, what I told Liu Xiong I'll leave it to you."
Liu Xiong was the only yamen servant who went with them, and he was afraid that the other party would not take it seriously and make jokes.The speaker had no intention of listening, but he was afraid of causing trouble for Nie Xiaobai.
Liu Xiong heard the second half of the sentence, "Brother Jiao, what do you want me to do? You just say it, and I will obey you."
Jiao Yun gave him a light tap on the shoulder, let Liu Xiong lead the two horses back to the Yamen, and he took Nie Baichang back to the tavern.
Jiao Yun guessed that Lao Tao also wanted to go back to the tavern with them, but after walking for a few days, the yamen might still have a lot of work to do, forget it, seeing how hard Lao Tao was working so hard, he would go to the yamen tomorrow to have a look.
The two walked side by side, met many acquaintances who greeted each other, and Jiao Yun responded one by one.
Nie Baichang was silent all the way, but he probably couldn't hold back in the end, and asked softly, "What did you and Mr. Tao say?"
Jiao Yun pulled him over, leaned closer and lowered his voice: "What else is there, let him tell Liu Xiong to shut his mouth, and not let him reveal all the things in Wuchun County, in case people really believe that there is nothing wrong with us, It will delay your township examination." In fact, even if Liu Xiong really said it, the big guy would not believe it, but it is one thing to miss one thing.
Nie Baichang hummed, not knowing what he was thinking, but Jiao Yun didn't think too much.
When she returned to the tavern, Wanniang saw that they almost couldn't hold back their red eyes. She usually didn't feel it, but suddenly both of them had been away for several days. I'm back!" Hurriedly cooked for them, closed early, and asked about the situation in the past few days.
Jiao Yun avoided the part where he and Nie Baichang were acting, and told how to catch the murderer who killed seven people in a row. He said it was dangerous. Hearing that, Wanniang was very worried, afraid that they would be hurt, and she reassured after making sure: "This, this is too dangerous."
Jiao Yun blinked, and suddenly sighed, with a solemn expression: "At that time, in order to catch the murderer, Mr. Tao was so dedicated that his wrist was twisted, but no, in order to deal with the official duties accumulated in the past few days, he didn't even have a meal at night. After eating, go back to the yamen to handle official business. Mother, this bachelor is just not good enough, he can't even eat hot food."
Nie Bochang looked over strangely: When did Master Tao get injured?
Jiao Yun secretly pinched Nie Baichang's wrist under the stone table and scratched it, and continued to worry about Mr. Tao's many things.
From the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of my mother's absent-minded expression while answering casually, and almost stopped laughing. When it was almost time, she pulled Nie Baichang to stand up, touched her full belly: "Mom, I have traveled for half a day. If you are tired, go back to sleep first, and you should rest earlier."
Wanniang agreed casually and told them to go quickly.
Jiao Yun waited all the way back to the dormitory, clutching his belly and laughing: "Nie Xiaobai, did you see that, my mother is worried, and she said she has no idea about Lao Tao, I'll see... Lao Tao will probably take over soon It's gone." Lao Tao, Lao Tao, don't say I treat you badly, my son may have turned his elbows outward.
Nie Bochang picked him up: "It's cold on the ground, so I'm not afraid of freezing."
"Cough cough, am I happy for them?" Jiao Yun finally stopped laughing, coughed lowly, and stretched his waist to resolve Wanniang's marriage. He could feel a big stone in his heart, he didn't really mean it. But after all these years of getting along, he really regards Wanniang as a relative.
But if he is not in Changyang County in the future, at least Wanniang will have a family, at least she won't be so sad.
Over the years, Lao Tao is a person who can be entrusted to him for life, and if he has concubines and concubines, he naturally doesn't mind having multiple stepfathers.
It's just that Jiao Yun's happiness didn't last for a while, Nie Baichang said suddenly: "Speaking of which, I think you should worry about yourself rather than Aunt Wan and Master Tao."
Jiao Yun pointed to himself: "Me? What should I worry about?"
Nie Baichang's eyes swept over his outstanding face, and finally landed on one place: "Mrs. Li, Miss Li, Mr. County Magistrate."
Jiao Yun:? ? ?The county magistrate?
When he finally came to his senses and realized what Nie Baichang meant, his mind buzzed: he was only thinking about Wanniang and Lao Tao, and forgot another important thing.
Now he is just a matchmaker, but he is rushed to be a matchmaker by so many matchmakers. Once Wanniang and Lao Tao get married, he will immediately become the county magistrate, what the hell...the matchmaker for him is even more...not to mention Said that because of Liang Da's incident, Li Shi wished to marry Li Xiqian to him immediately.
When Jiao Yun got up the next day, he was still listless. When he went to the county office, he found that Tao Xutang was full of energy, with a smile on his lips. Yun stepped forward and waved his hand violently: "Hey! My lord! I have returned to my soul!"
Tao Xutang coughed in embarrassment: "What?"
Jiao Yun glanced at him: "My lord, what's the happy event, seeing you smiling?"
Tao Xutang turned his body slightly, avoiding Jiao Yun's gaze: "What's the matter? I just want to do business." Actually, he has been writing letters to Wanniang recently, but Wanniang didn't express much, but yesterday she let The waiter in the tavern sent a meal box, saying that Jiao Yun asked him to deliver it.
But Tao Xutang knew about Brother Yun, so he couldn't think of it, so he could only...
And the dishes are Wanniang's craftsmanship.
But Jiao Yun didn't let him go, glanced up and down, thought for a while, and cut straight to the point: "I'm talking about Lao Tao, what on earth are you thinking?"
He figured it out, if Nie Xiaobai wins the provincial examination in two months, then he will take the examination in March next year. The capital city is far away from them, so they have to leave long in advance, and maybe they will be ready to go after the new year the capital.
He planned to go to the capital with Nie Xiaobai to rush for the exam, and it would take at least half a year to go. In case Nie Xiaobai went to high school, he would stay there for a while. He hasn't really been separated from Wanniang for so long. He is not at ease in Changyang County alone, and he also wants to go to the capital to see if he can do some business. He is not willing to stick his business to Qingzhou Prefecture.
So he had already thought about it before, and it would be best to settle Wanniang's lifelong affairs before sending Nie Xiaobai to Beijing.
Tao Xutang didn't expect Jiao Yun to speak directly, he coughed lowly, but if he as an elder couldn't face such a thing, how could he win the trust of the younger generation, he really wanted to live with Wanniang for the rest of his life.
Tao Xutang took a deep breath, his face became solemn, he raised his head and looked at Jiao Yun: "Brother Yun, let's talk about it today, you, you..." Although he had thought about it countless times when he was out of town a few years ago In the scene of the showdown with Jiao Yun, I also thought about the words, but when I really came to him, I still couldn't help being nervous, even more nervous than when he was able to try back then, "You...what's your impression of me?"
His last sentence was low and trembling with nervousness, but his gaze on Jiao Yun was serious and sincere.
Jiao Yun didn't expect Tao Xutang to ask such a question suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and thought about it seriously, "The impression is actually not perfect."
"Ah?" Tao Xutang became even more nervous, he couldn't figure out what Brother Yun meant, this is... dissatisfied with his stepfather?He just wanted to ask if there was anything wrong that he could change.
Jiao Yun suddenly changed the subject: "Of course...you are the most perfect husband to my mother." If you want to have face, you have to persuade, and you can bear hardships and stand hard work. After so many years, you still don't change your mind. The mother-in-law is pressing down, and no one can get past her.
After all, if it is done, Wanniang will be the county magistrate's wife, and the whole Changyang County has to respect her as a wife.
But it is the most perfect.
Tao Xutang was stunned, and then couldn't hold back a sigh of relief: "You kid... you scared me to death!" I thought Brother Yun was unwilling!
Jiao Yun giggled closer: "Okay, I won't say much about beating around the bush. I have no problem with you wanting to be my stepfather. Of course, this is only before marriage, but if you treat my mother badly or take responsibility after marriage If you have her, you have any crooked thoughts, such as taking a concubine to take over the house, which is not acceptable to me, if you like my mother, you have to guard her for the rest of your life, otherwise... I will never agree to this marriage. "
Tao Xutang was helpless: "What else can I do besides your mother..." He didn't confiscate the house when he was young, let alone when he was old.
He is no longer young now, and he has no other thoughts, "I promise to only marry Wanniang, and I will never betray her in this life, and I will not accept concubines, otherwise, I will do as you please?"
Jiao Yun naturally believed him, and cast a glance at him: "Why are you telling me this, if you say it, you are telling your future wife."
Tao Xutang's ears turned red again: "You, you really are..."
"Want to say I'm not old or young? Hey, don't have a stepmother after you have a stepfather...Baby feels bitter."
"Wh-what stepfather and stepmother, you... brat!" Tao Xutang finally found out that this brat was here to make fun of him, "Then, will your mother... agree?" Although he He could know Wanniang's intentions, but after all, he never really asked, he was afraid that in case...
Jiao Yun had a headache: "Old Tao, you don't really plan to go directly to a matchmaker, do you? You don't want to propose marriage?"
Tao Xutang was stunned: "Huh? Marriage proposal?"
Jiao Yun hooked his fingers: "Forget it, you have taken advantage of it, let me teach you a trick."
Even if he really wanted to marry, his mother had to nod in person, otherwise, he wouldn't be such a bad person.
Listening to Jiao Yun's words, Tao Xutang didn't come back to his senses for a long time: "It's still like this?"
Jiao Yun: "Why, don't you dare?"
Tao Xutang gritted his teeth and said, "Dare!" He has been studying for six or seven years, and he doesn't want to wait anymore.
The next few days will be calm and peaceful. Tao Xutang did not dare to go to the tavern in order to prepare for a few days. He was afraid that when he saw Wanniang there, he could not help but blush and heartbeat when he thought of what he was going to do. thought……
He didn't go here, Wanniang didn't feel much at first, but suddenly she didn't come for six or seven days, she felt something was wrong in her heart, but the uneasiness and panic spread, as if the person who had been in front of her had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
This feeling of heartache and uneasiness made her unable to eat for a few days. Jiao Yun didn't see it in her eyes, so she had to let her mother understand her own thoughts, otherwise, she would be hesitant because she didn't want to. Face up to your own heart, if you really reject Lao Tao, it is estimated that Lao Tao's heart will be half-hearted.
When he finally got Lao Tao's letter, Jiao Yun made an agreement with Nie Baichang in advance, looked at Wanniang who was absent-minded after closing the tavern that night, stepped forward and embraced Wanniang's arm, and rested his chin on Wanniang's shoulder: "Mother, we How long has it been since you went for a walk?"
Wanniang couldn't help laughing when she saw him like this: "How old are you still acting like a baby? I'm not afraid that Brother Bo will laugh at you."
Jiao Yun glanced at Nie Baichang, "He doesn't dare to laugh at me. It just so happens that the moonlight is very bright tonight, so why don't we go for a walk?"
Nie Baichang responded from the side: "Aunt Wan, let's go for a walk, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
Even Nie Baichang opened his mouth, and Wanniang had been in an inexplicable mess for two days, so she agreed, so the three of them walked leisurely with a lantern in their hands, and Jiao Yun started from that year. Speaking of setting up a stewed meat stall, she said that when she heard that he didn't go to school, she almost beat him up.
Wanniang couldn't help but shook her head: "When am I going to beat you up? But just say a few words to you, you'd be kind...I must recognize Mr. Tao as my master." Speaking of Tao Xutang, Wanniang lowered her eyes to cover the darkness in her eyes. In the past two days, I have thought a lot, and even wondered if she has been refusing to respond, and he gave up?Decided not to wait for her anymore?
This kind of panic spread, making her heart bitter, but her feelings were always restrained, she couldn't do anything to find him, she could only gather all her feelings in her heart again.
Jiao Yun: "Yes, they say that one day will be a teacher and life will be a father, and I don't know who will be my teacher's wife in the future." After speaking, he sneaked a glance at Wanniang, and sure enough, he saw the expression on his mother's face that almost didn't hold back. .
Because of these words, Wanniang was in a trance all the way, and she didn't even see clearly that Jiao Yun and the others took her to the lake where lanterns were usually set off, but because tonight was not the Lantern Festival, there was no one here.
In addition, it was late and there was no one there.
Wanniang kept walking, but suddenly she didn't hear Jiao Yun's voice, she was stunned for a while, and finally looked around, and found no one, no one behind, only a stream and lake not far in front, not very wide, she just thought Turning around and going back to find Jiao Yun and the two, suddenly a water lantern floated over from the other side of the abandoned bridge.
Wanniang was taken aback, staring blankly at the water lamp, she didn't know how it was made, the outside was paper, and inside was a lamp, usually she had only seen various animals or other shapes, but this time, it was In the shape of a lotus flower, there is a small figure standing in the middle, holding a heart shape on top of his head. These form a whole, which is obvious in the dark night when illuminated by the inside.
And this is just the beginning, with the first, second, third...
Countless lanterns drifted towards her slowly in the water, and following the starlight gathered by the lanterns, a person wearing a brand new robe walked towards her with a brighter heart-shaped lantern, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, There is a smile on the corner of the mouth, the eyes are reflected by the light as if they are full of starlight, and the deep affection is permeated, as if it is her heart and eyes.
Wanniang was stunned, and she couldn't recover for a long time. She could only watch Tao Xutang approaching, and then approaching, and finally stood a few steps away from her. I wanted to marry you before, but I came here with responsibilities on my shoulders, so I had to leave. Now that I am back, I will never leave again. Wanniang, can you give me a chance to take care of you in the future? Don't worry , I know you are insecure, I will use my character and this black shawl on my head to guarantee that I will never take a concubine, nor will I have any entanglements with other women.
I just want to keep you alone, live our own little life, and Brother Yun.I was alone when I came here, and I planned to die alone, but seeing you... I am not reconciled to being alone, if you want, we will add another brother and sister to Brother Yun; if you don’t want to, Then we only have one child, brother Yun, and I will take care of him as my own son.So, are you willing to give me this chance to take care of you to take care of Brother Yun? "
Wanniang was completely dumbfounded, she looked at Tao Xutang in disbelief, and when she finally recovered and understood what Tao Xutang said, her pretty face was flushed, "You, you..." What did he say?Who, who wants to add a brother or sister to Brother Yun with him?
Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang were also dumbfounded hiding in the flowers, Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang looked at each other: Damn, I didn't teach him that!
Okay, old Tao, you can learn by yourself.
Wanniang panicked, "I, I don't know what you are talking about..." She turned around and was about to leave.
Tao Xutang was frightened, and bravely stepped forward to block her way: "Wanniang, I really like you, I came here with a mission on my shoulders, and I was thinking of someone like me, so it's not good to delay others. After seeing you , I'm afraid... I'm afraid that if you marry someone else, I, I..."
Wanniang lowered her head, twisted her handkerchief and didn't dare to look at him at all: "You, if you dare not delay others, you will delay me!"
"No, it's not..." Tao Xutang was also in a hurry, scratching his ears and cheeks, "Just, that's..." In the end, his voice was low, and he couldn't help whispering: "I can't help it..."
So all the previous assumptions and excuses became excuses. He wanted to marry her and make her his wife.
But Jiao Yun didn't hear clearly, tilted his head and approached Nie Baichang, "What did he say later?"
Nie Bochang glanced at him, and finally shook his head lightly, "It's nothing." It's just that the hand holding the weeds couldn't help tightening, it was hard to help, so it was obviously impossible to do it anyway, I'm afraid that if you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life .
Wanniang's original movement was suddenly startled because of these four words, and the movement of twisting the handkerchief also fell silent, and finally couldn't hold back a tear from falling.
Tao Xutang panicked, "Wanniang, don't cry, I was wrong, I shouldn't force you, if you don't want me, I will..." He still wanted to marry her, but he couldn't bear to see her in trouble.
Wanniang's voice was hoarse: "Who said I don't want to... But, but you are the county magistrate, I... I am a businesswoman, we... Even if you are willing, what about your family? Your relatives far away in the capital What?" She raised her head boldly, her eye circles were red, there was affection but also hesitation in her eyes, she was afraid, she was afraid that he would be rejected by his family, and she was also afraid that brother Yun would be ridiculed and overestimated.
Tao Xutang was so distressed by her crying, "No, they won't stop it, otherwise, at my age, if they wanted to interfere with my marriage, they would have let me marry a long time ago. The reason why I came here you should I can guess one or two, since I choose such a way, it would be best if I don’t marry a wife, but if I do marry a wife, I can’t marry someone with high status, and you are the most suitable, it’s like a special… No, like It's a match made in heaven, God destined us..."
Tao Xutang blushed at the end and couldn't continue.
Jiao Yun's hearing was disgusting, but looking at the two people in front of him, I'm afraid it's because his mother can say aloud... At least there is a reason for this. He and Nie Baichang looked at each other and left secretly, leaving the future couple's affairs to them. Tell yourself.
Wanniang came out in a hurry after a stick of incense, her eye circles were still red, but her brows and eyes were stretched and the corners of her mouth were smiling, but when she saw Jiao Yun, the corners of her mouth were pressed down, she ignored him, and walked away.
"Mother, dear mother, I was forced. It was Lao Tao who forced me to bring you here...and asked me and Nie Xiaobai to stay here and not allow me to go any further. The wind I have been blowing for so long is so cold, mother , you look back at the baby, the baby is so miserable." Jiao Yun played tricks, and deliberately hung on Nie Baichang.
Wanniang couldn't hold back her snort, and turned her head: "You really didn't go there?" Her face was blushing, and the roots of her ears were so red, fortunately, it was covered by the darkness of night.
Jiao Yun raised his hand, feeling that it wasn't enough, and lifted Nie Baichang's too: "We promise, by the way, mother, what did Lao Tao ask you for? It can't be my son, did I do something wrong? He is my master. , Even if you made a mistake, you shouldn't sue your parents, this old Tao is really good!"
"You child, what old Tao!" Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief, and when she recovered, she couldn't help but cursed again.
Jiao Yun leaned over and said, "Okay, okay, can you stop talking about the baby?" That's it, Lao Tao, I'm really rushing to be someone's son!
Wanniang was sure that Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang didn't know, so she didn't feel so embarrassed, she hurried back and hid herself in the room, and didn't show up the next day until Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang left the house.
Jiao Yun knew it well, and walked slowly to the Yamen, and saw Tao Xutang waiting there at a glance, walking around, and when his eyes lit up, he walked over: "Hey, Brother Yun." From the corner of the eye, I saw Nie Baichang waving his hand.
Afraid of his embarrassment, Nie Bochang went to the academy quickly.
Tao Xutang dragged Jiao Yun back to the study anxiously, and when the door was closed, making sure no one could hear him, he said excitedly, "Brother Yun, your mother agrees! Look, when do you think I'm going to be hired?"
The author has something to say: La la la, I have opened this book and pre-ordered it. If you are interested, you can pre-order it in advance~ Pen refill~
