[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

The author has something to say: Oh heh heh heh. . . . .

It's over here, and I'm about to leave Baizhou, and I'm going to visit people from the Baizhou All-Commerce Federation to say goodbye to them.To deal with them, one must drink alcohol.On the night before the departure, I also had a banquet with others, and I drank so much that my steps were unsteady. I was helped out of the carriage by licorice, and staggered back to the house.

When I packed myself up and could lie in bed, I couldn't sleep again.

I smiled wryly, then got up, took my coat and put it on, went outside, stood on the porch and looked at the distant mountain scenery.It is already January when the road is blocked by heavy snow, and it will take at least half a month before the road will be reopened.In order to rush to Chazhou as soon as possible, I have to wait early at the state border of Baizhou, and I will set off early tomorrow morning.

I folded my palms together and let out a breath, and a white mist floated out.I said that I should teach Feixiang a good lesson, but in fact I am also unfilial. I didn’t go back to my hometown to spend the first month with my father for several years.I wonder if my father will feel lonely?I turned around and took the piano out, playing the piece I had learned in Heizhou a little jerky, playing it over and over again, trying to find the feel point by point.

When Kui Huangyi asked me if I wanted to go back, I actually wanted to agree.However, since he is no longer a child, he has to bear all the responsibilities that should be borne.I don't like being in business, but I like being stuck at home with my husband and children?There is always a trade-off.Do you want to live happily every day without working hard?How can there be such a cheap thing.Even at home, the housewife's work is also very heavy.

Men are good, women are good, people are looking for something to worry about, probably.

perhaps.

I smiled and stopped plucking the strings.Since I decided to work hard, why am I feeling melancholy now?It's a good idea not to recall the past, it's all night charms.I stood up and put the piano away, then went back to the room and closed my eyes well.

The mountain roads in black and white states are difficult, so when I set off early the next morning, I chose to ride a horse. My current horse riding skills are really good, and it is definitely much better than sitting in a carriage and bumping half to death.Licorice didn't know how to ride a horse before, but since she became my maid and walked around with me, riding a horse is no longer a problem for her, so she also got on a horse like me, and changed to a better road in the south Back to the carriage.

The Zhangjia convoy still set off in the early morning, and there was still wind and snow along the way, and everyone was covered in furry coats, looking like a bunch of bears walking on the road, haha.

After walking in the snow for several days, we reached the border of Hakushu in early February and waited for the wind and snow to stop before leaving the state.

"Guest officer!" The shop owner of the post station in the town greeted him with a smile on his face, "This is a hotel, right?"

I smiled and said, "Yes, please give us all the remaining rooms, and bring us some hot water and hot soup."

The servant Wang Dali stepped forward to give the reward, and the shop owner greeted us graciously.

I just entered the room to wash my face, but the shopkeeper came to find me.Licorice opened the door at my signal and let the shopkeeper in.It turned out that there were two more batches of guests coming, and the store owner wanted to ask if I could spare some vacant rooms.I thought it was too cold to drive people away, so I asked Licorice to order people from Zhang's family to squeeze.I thought it was over, but unexpectedly the store came up again and asked me if I could spare a room.

The store owner said with embarrassment that one of the batch had those official wives and ladies who were unwilling to live in the house.I stood up and walked out of the room with my sleeves folded. I stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked at the hall in the center of the basement. I saw a very young lady losing her temper.

"Is there any reason for us to live in this place?" She shook the veil, "Really."

The other lady, who seemed to be her mother, was comforting her, but also frowning.There is also a middle-aged man who is sitting on a wooden chair, probably the "Master Official".

"Miss, look..." The shopkeeper kept nodding and bowing to me, "That's the newly appointed prefect of the next county, I..."

I understood his embarrassment, so I said to Licorice: "I am wronged that you shared a room with me."

Licorice blessed me, "Miss, I'll go and squeeze with the girls, please don't worry."

I nodded and turned back to my room.After a while, the shopkeeper came up again and said that the family wanted me to let me use another room.This inn is not very big, there are only two rooms in the upper room, since I have given up one room, if you let me... just for one night, I sighed and let it go, so I stood up and gave up the room.Licorice stopped me with a frown.

"Miss, please forgive me for talking too much, this is too much deceit."

"I'm talking about this girl," the storekeeper was so anxious that he kept scratching his hair, "I also know the principle of first come first served, but this, this is the county master, I can't afford to offend."

Licorice gave him a stern look, "You also know that you are wrong, so how can you keep disturbing my lady? There are not a few high-ranking officials and nobles who come and go to and from the post station. Shopkeeper, you have never seen a county magistrate before you dare to be so arrogant." ?"

I touched my nose furtively.The King of Hades is easy to see, but the little devil is hard to deal with. I have seen county magistrates who are more arrogant than him, haha.But Licorice was getting angry, I didn't dare to tease her, so I had to say to the shopkeeper: "You see, we are also inconvenient, and there are quite a few female relatives accompanying us, so it is really inconvenient to give up the room."

The shopkeeper hit a wall and left with a dark face.Just as I was about to change clothes and rest, there was a loud knock on the door.I adjusted my clothes before Licorice went to open the door.As soon as the door opened, the other party walked in directly.I frowned, winked at Licorice, and told her to go to Zhang's family to go to the room.She nodded to me knowingly and walked out softly.

I stood up, folded my sleeves and looked at the person who came, "What's the matter?"

The person who came was a young man dressed as a servant, he casually bowed his hands to me, and said impatiently: "Miss, my master is in urgent need, please let me out of the room."

It's really deceiving.I sighed secretly, "Sorry, I can't let you."

"You know my master..." When he was about to say something, the middle-aged man "Master Guan" he saw just now came in and interrupted him.

"No way." He snorted lightly.

I pursed my lips.Breaking into my room one after another, they really are...

The middle-aged man nodded to me and looked me over a few times, "Miss, my servant was rude, please forgive me."

I nodded back, "It's nothing. It's just this room, I don't think we can let it go."

"Well..." He stroked his beard, "Since that's the case, I can't force it."

If you don't force it, why bother to barge in rudely?I didn't want to say anything more, so I gave him a light salute without words.

The middle-aged man did not withdraw, but continued to ask: "Where is Miss Unknown?"

I looked at him, and still replied, "My surname is Zhang."

"So it's Miss Zhang." He smiled, "Looking at Miss's entourage, she seems to be a merchant?"

"exactly."

"The moonlight is just right outside. I don't know if Miss Zhang is interested in taking a trip outside?"

I stared at him in amazement... Judging by his expression, is he inviting me for a night out?

"Presumptuous!" Licorice, who just came back, stood by the door, furious, "Do you think my lady is a brothel girl? We are not from that family, it really makes no sense!"

I also flicked my sleeves and turned my back, letting Wang Dali, A Wen and other members of the Zhang family speak and scold me.

The middle-aged man did not show a trace of anger, but instead bowed his hands to apologize to me, "Miss Zhang, I was the one who was rude. I didn't mean anything malicious, but when I saw the young lady, I was astonished as a celestial being. That's why I fell in love. Please don't worry, young lady. I'm not a suspicious person, when I ask where Miss Ming's home is, I must make three letters and six ceremonies, dignifiedly hire Miss Ming as Mrs. Ru."

I am speechless.I was treated as a concubine again... Am I really so ugly?Why is no one rushing to ask me to be the wife?I covered my forehead.

"What's going on?" came a deep male voice.

I stared blankly in the direction of the sound.

Kui Huangyi?

He strode in with a cold face, stood half a step in front of me, just between me and the middle-aged man, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

"..." I couldn't speak.Should I tell him that I was invited on a night out by a middle-aged man?Forget it, judging by his expression, he clearly knew what happened, so I stopped talking.

The middle-aged man said with displeasure: "This is?"

Kui Huangyi looked over coldly, "Are you the newly appointed magistrate of Baoming County?"

"This is the official." The middle-aged man also put on a straight face, "May I ask who this lord is?"

"Censor Zhongcheng, Kui Huangyi."

I look at him.Really promoted?Kui Huangyi glanced at me.

The middle-aged man frowned and bowed his head to Emperor Kui, "So it's Master Kui, I've heard of you for a long time. I've seen Master Kui before."

"Yeah." Kui Huangyi's face was cooler than usual.It's the first time I've seen him play an official role.

"Excuse me, I will take my leave." The middle-aged man turned his head and left, and the young attendant followed him.

Licorice helped me close the door and led the others down.Kui Huangyi and I stared at each other for a long time before I turned my eyes away, walked to the table and sat down, uncovered the cup, and picked up the tea pot to make tea.Kui Huangyi also came over and sat next to me.

After a while, he said, "How long do you want to brew?"

"Impatient?" I pressed the lid of the teapot, filled the cup to [-]% full, and handed him a cup.

We all took a few sips of tea in silence.

I was the first to say, "Is there something wrong?"

"Are you worried that I won't keep my promise and drag the Zhang family in again?"

"Do you have to say it like this?"

He snorted coldly, "Did I say something wrong?"

"You are promoted at this time, I am worried that you will get into some trouble." I sighed softly, "The battle for the crown prince in the imperial capital is not over yet, and you suddenly came out of Beijing again, what do you make me think?"

"If something really happened to me, would you help me?"

"Unless Father is involved," I said softly, "I will do my best to help you."

"Idiot, it doesn't make any difference whether you break up with me or not."

I laughed, and responded casually: "It seems to be the same, so it's better to just sit on the sidelines."

"It's not your choice." I looked up at him, and he continued, "I'm going to give up my previous promise."

"Really." Holding my teacup, I felt unbelievably peaceful.Chess pieces are meant to be used in the first place, so it would be great if they could help him.

"Lan, marry me."

.........

………………

………………………………………Ah huh?

He seemed to be looking at me with interest.

"wait wait wait……"

He put the teacup on the table, "I have already returned to Beijing to report to my adoptive father, Mr. Wang Ji, this trip is not a sudden trip to Beijing, but a leave of absence, and I plan to go to Zhangfu, Longqing County, Heizhou to propose marriage."

"Stupid, silly?" I also put down the teacup and stared at him in disbelief, "It's me, I'm Zhang Zelan, did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Are you so happy that your brain is useless?" He frowned in distress, "You married a silly girl."

I reached out and patted him angrily, "Do you want me to count the disadvantages of Zhang's family marrying you?"

"Alright, so as not to leave anything behind when patching the loopholes in the future."

"..." was choked back, "Huang Yi, I don't want you to be dragged down by me. There are not too many and some unclean places in business, you are the censor."

"Exactly, I'm not clean either."

"..." I couldn't help showing dead fish eyes.Completely unable to communicate.

"Seriously, my side is more troublesome than yours." Kui Huangyi turned sideways and took my hands, "Lan, do you want to marry me?"

How troublesome he is, needless to say, I know very well.I sighed again and lowered my eyes, "It always feels so stupid."

"Fine, I think so too."

"...Please say something nice. If possible, please change your expression and voice to be gentler."

"If I say nice things softly, you'll believe me? You idiot."

"I don't believe it." Only a silly woman would believe it.

"Then why do I say that?"

"Because I feel that if you sell yourself without even hearing a good word, it seems a bit miserable." I said weakly.

He bowed his head and approached me, "Marrying me isn't nice enough?"

I froze for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Hahahaha~ I've never seen someone like you...hahahaha..." I laughed until I fell on the table.

He looked at me intently, "What? Doesn't that sound good?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Kui Huangyi stretched out his hand to help me up, then hugged me with a sigh, "Just tell me clearly when you've laughed enough. Lan, do you want to marry me?"

I leaned my head on his shoulder, "Forget it, anyway, I always feel that I am not smart, and it doesn't matter if I am a little stupid."

He tightened his arms, tilted his head and whispered in my ear, "Yeah."

I also put my arms around his waist, "Huang Yi, if my lord father hits me when I go back, remember to protect me." This is a private life-long drama.

"it is good."

"Hey? You promised to suffer this time so readily?"

"Are you finally admitting you've been plotting against me?" he said dryly.

each other each other.I leaned on his shoulder and laughed, "Yeah, what happened to this beauty trick this time?"

He pushed me away a little, and said to me, "It's not bad." Then he tilted his head and kissed me.

I closed my eyes and responded to him.

Both of us are idiots.

They will definitely be trained to death.

...Wait...I pushed him away, and he looked at me puzzled.

"...beard stubble, stuck in me..."

He raised his eyebrows, "How dare you despise me?"

"Well, it seems that when I don't know which son molested me, that's what he said..."

He stared at me coldly.

"Pfft!" I smiled, then reached out and hugged him again, kissing him.

OK, I promise.

"However, Huang Yi," after a long while, I sat with my back against him and looked up at him behind me, "What are you going to bring to propose marriage?" Hey, he knew that he was alone, let alone say anything Proposals and gifts.

"Sincerity."

I couldn't help laughing, "You can do it," I rested my head on his shoulder, "Sincerity is enough."

He put his arms around me, "There is great sincerity. I feel that I have given too much."

"...Trouble, I want to listen to sweet talk today, please." I held my forehead in frustration, "I'm really afraid that I won't be able to help but regret agreeing."

"Are you afraid?" Kui Huangyi asked in my ear.

Probably he was scared when he asked, not just because I meant it as a joke.I smiled and held his hand, "I'm not someone who doesn't know how to escape when I've been abused, so remember to be nice to me. When I was young, I was thinking that when I grow up, there should be a very good-looking The prince came to fetch me."

He sneered, "Prince? Can't you see enough of those idiots in the capital?"

"..." I said the prince is riding a white horse, not what you mean...

"I never thought I'd marry a fool."

"..."

We sat next to each other quietly for a while, and before the candles were about to go out, Kui Huangyi said softly: "There are beauties in the north, who are independent from the world." Two simple sentences, in Kui Huangyi's deep voice There is a special charm in the thick voice and well-educated tone.

I froze for a while, then lowered my eyes and laughed quietly.Although we haven't reached the point where the whole city is overwhelmed, at least our decision is extremely stupid. Both of us know this very well. It's just that I never thought that I would be dubbed in this song.It's not that I didn't think that I would do the stupid thing of "Qingcheng", but that I didn't think that I would become an independent beauty in the north in the eyes of a certain person.

"You'd better say something bad." If one day I really believe in these beautiful words, what should I do?

"Hmph, do you think I must listen to you?"

"..." Okay, if you say it, I can't stop it...

I covered my forehead and laughed out loud.
