[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

I inquired about some lady's gossip, the purpose of this trip was over, I left the party before the party was over, and returned home in a sedan chair.A few days ago, Mrs. Qian, the wife of an official in Shangshu Province, intended to give Huang Yi a concubine. Although she said that she was her natal niece from a distant niece, she was average-looking, but what I found out was not the case at all.That woman is a stunning beauty that Qian's husband specially found, and then sent it under the name of his wife, hoping to sell it to Huang Yi through me.

He actually wanted to bribe the chief of Yushitai... I straightened the wrinkles on my skirt, got out of the sedan chair by the side of the sedan chair, and returned to Kui's mansion.That's right, favors and money won't work with Huang Yi, and his official position is high enough. There is really no way for ordinary people to seek Huang Yi. I thought most of Huang Yi would agree.I probably know what this official is asking for, and Huang Yi mentioned it to me a little bit.Huang Yi's study room can be entered by me, and I know a little bit about the affairs of the imperial court - if I really can't let me know, Huang Yi will take care of it, he is Kui Huangyi.

After preparing the meal for tonight, I took my qin to the courtyard and sat in the pavilion to practice the qin.

However, I couldn’t calm down today, so I didn’t force it anymore, stopped, turned around and sat on the wooden chair by the pavilion, leaning on the railing, looking at the already frozen lake, which was tanned orange by the setting sun. Orange.Occasionally, there are a few uneven spots on the lake surface, which also reflect the seven colors of the rainbow.

"I'm back." Huang Yi strode towards me.

I smiled and stood up, "Yes, thank you for your hard work today."

"looking at what?"

"It's nothing." I turned around and looked at the lake with only the last gleam of golden light left, "I was in a daze. I wanted to practice the piano. Didn't you blame me for missing my homework a few days ago? But the piano was moved out. I also tuned it up, but I’m lazy and don’t want to practice.”

He stood next to me and looked down at me, "What are you thinking?"

I smiled and pointed casually, "I miss that sunset." I wrapped my arms around Huang Yi's arm and walked back, "Let's eat first? You came back late today, should you be hungry?"

He glanced at me, "Yeah." He took my hand and helped me walk through the snowflakes all over the place.

After the meal, Huang Yi went to the study to continue working. I packed up my things, asked the porter to close the door, turned around and ordered the servants to boil the bath water, and then walked into the study.Huang Yi didn't raise his eyes, but tapped the dry inkstone with the brush in his hand.I curled my lips silently.No matter how many times I see him like this, I find it irritating, just like Kui Huangyi's innate nature to command others.I walked over quietly, rolled up my sleeves, and began to rub the ink.

"Master Peak Season will host a family banquet on the [-]th day, and Master Huiqi will also come," Huang Yi put a freshly written official document aside to dry, "Have you prepared the answer for this year?"

"Well. To be honest," I added a little water to adjust the color of the ink, "the answer is already thought of, and You Shun also knows it."

"I know," he picked up another thick document, "otherwise you wouldn't have agreed to marry me. Your famous saying is 'you can't move me just for that great reason'?"

I smiled and changed the subject, "That's right, that one from Shang Shu Sheng seems to be a little impatient, and is trying to please you in different ways."

"Well," Huang Yi also followed my words, "you comfort them first."

"how long?"

"Not in January. What? Are they difficult?"

I laughed out loud, "How?" I put down Mo Bing, pushed the ink inkstone to a position convenient for Huang Yi, then walked to the chair beside me and sat down, "The benefits of this time, from my standpoint , it’s really not easy to refuse. But if it’s only one month, it’s okay to delay. Don’t worry,” I smiled and said, “I will never let anyone get information from me. .” Let’s appease Qian Shi first.

"up to you."

The so-called virtuous housemate that Chai Lin mentioned, I think, is actually such a dispensable existence for Huang Yi.I picked up the teapot, slowly brewed the tea, and scalded the cup carefully.The marriage was just to survive the turmoil caused by You Shun's death. Although we have only been married for half a year now, our marriage is also dispensable to Huang Yi.

I wanted to say something to him, but I didn't want to disturb his work. In the end, I served tea quietly, sat aside, took the sewing basket under the coffee table, and embroidered flowers.A few days ago, Emperor Yi's purse was worn out, but now I can barely sew these small things, so I wanted to sew another one for him.Earlier, I also went to the embroidery shop to make a few more sets of clothes. I have to find a day to see how the progress is. I hope that I can wear them for Huang Yi when the court returns in the new year.

The candle wicks crackled quietly, and the cold wind outside the window blew.

When Huang Yi finished handling the matter, he let out a low hum, probably because he was tired.I wrapped up the needlework and put it down, and walked behind him with my sleeves rolled up, and rubbed his temples with my hands.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." I whispered.Don't you see that high-ranking officials are prone to gray hair?Ah, yes, the case of Li Shen is an exception, but even the genius Zheng Youshun survived until his death, and of course Huang Yi also worked very hard.It's not Huang Yi's style to have a vegetarian meal in the corpse's place.

One by one, beat the bad guys away, just like a superman.No, it's Spider-Man, lol.This masked Spider-Man.

Huang Yi closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair. I carefully pressed the pressure with my hand on his temple.

After a while, he raised his hand and took my hand, and something was stuffed into my palm.I opened my palm at his gesture, and burst out laughing.It’s a tofu from a small shop in the west of the city. It’s not far from where I used to open a tofu nao stall.I unwrapped the candy wrapper, stuffed it into my mouth, then bent down and fell on Huang Yi's shoulder from behind, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Yes, thank you, sir." I leaned my chin on his shoulder and smiled.

Huang Yi glanced at me, then took out a small wooden box from the skirt and handed it to me.I took it, but I couldn't open the lid... Why is the gift box an exquisite little mechanism?Show me how clever your hands are?There are sunflower patterns on the box, showing that Huang Yi made it himself.I straightened up and struggled with the box for a long time, Huang Yi folded his arms leisurely and looked at me viciously.

With a sound of answering, I finally opened it, hahahaha~

I saw a delicately carved white jade figure lying quietly on the silk.I threw the disgusting box to Huang Yi, and took a closer look at it with the villain, only to see... the villain's expression...how should I say it?A stinky fart with a bit of a vicious cold face?I looked at Huang Yi, who was clearly giving a gift to his wife but still insisted on keeping a cold face, then turned to look at the villain, bit my lip, and couldn't help but bent over Huang Yi's shoulder and laughed .

what?Carve a little person of yourself and give it to me?The point is that he even joked about his cold face.Ha ha ha ha.

Next to my ear, I heard Huang Yi's annoyed sigh.

I raised my head, leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek with a smile on my face, "Yes, thank you sir."

Huang Yi stared at me for a long time, his cold face finally broke, and the corners of his mouth raised.I smiled and stamped it on his lips.Huang Yi pressed my hand with one hand, and the back of my head with the other, and kissed me back.

When I came back to my senses, I was already sitting sideways on his lap. Huang Yi lowered his head and kissed my neck, then straightened up, pressed me in front of him, hugged me with one hand, and hugged me with the other. Follow the long hair that I have let loose.I leaned on his body, lowered my head, thankful that the extinguishing of the candle prevented him from seeing the expression that I could no longer control—it's not so much that I couldn't control it, it's better to say that I was too tired to control it anymore.

Huang Yi again, stopped at this step.

We haven't consummated the house yet.

After a while, I patted him lightly, "Go take a bath, you have to go back to the palace tomorrow, if you stay any longer, you should go to bed late."

"En." He responded, but sat for a while longer, bowed his head and kissed my hairline before getting up and walking out of the study.

I packed the documents on the case, packed, packed, and then stopped, looking up at the hazy moonlight blocked by the clouds outside the window.

Huang Yi, he clearly knew that I agreed, but he was still so scruples about my intentions——I don't like marriage, Huang Yi knows it.He has cared for me for the past six months, and he has worked so hard that he is almost flattering.I heard from the wives of other Yushitai officials that Huang Yi only came back to the mansion once in the middle of a month before, and never went to court on time, and even their husbands were overtime mad, and most of the time now they would go back to the mansion for dinner They look like two different people.

But when did he become this kind of person?

I blinked, feeling my eyes a little sour.

It is very hard for Huang Yi to be with me.

I gathered the documents, then walked out slowly, turned around and closed the door of the study, and then slowly walked back to our room.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, although the palace was still in the New Year's Eve, Huang Yi went back to deal with official documents.After I sent him out, I went back to my room and changed into the long-lost riding clothes, and rode out of the house.

"Ah San!" In front of the city gate, Fei Xiang raised his arms and waved violently towards me.

"Second brother, good morning." I smiled and waved to him.

Feixiang also got on his horse, and together we rode straight to the mountains outside the city.The horse galloped, and the oncoming cold wind made his cheeks hurt, but he still felt extremely refreshed.After running down the mountain, we got off our horses, tied up the horses and walked up.

Under the tug of flying, we walked to the top of this low mountain together.Looking around, the mountain is not high enough and the scenery is not good enough, but this tranquility is enough.Feixiang threw me a wine bag, I took it, patted the snow on the boulder, then sat down, raised my head and took a sip of the wine.It is a liquor from Hakushu, with a spicy taste.

Feixiang sat on the ground casually, with one leg propped up, and his back leaning against the tree trunk.

Just before the New Year's Eve, the embroidered lady Zhang, whom Feixiang had always admired, had a relapse of her old illness and recently collapsed from a lingering illness.Xiao Zhangniang's illness was born, and her elder sister, Mrs. Zhang, also felt sorry for her, and took care of her all the time, so she never let her marry. Since then, the relationship between them has been brought up.

Xiao Zhangniang was afraid of dragging Feixiang down, so she never agreed to marry.

Feixiang drank the wine, his smile dropped, and he looked at the snow-white down the mountain calmly.

Meeting is such a blessing, but it is so difficult to be happy.

"Second Brother," I asked softly, "Are you happy?"

"Of course." Feixiang shook the wine bottle at me, and smiled with one corner of his mouth, "I'm a very lucky person."

That's good.

"Sister," he rested his elbow on his raised leg, "Have you decided?"

"I've decided a long time ago," I looked up at the clear sky, "What the eldest brother and the second brother both want to do, the place where Lin and the red officials worked hard to enter, if there is a chance, I also want to go and have a look. I remember Liu Zimei It’s about the real Zizhou State Examination No.2, a former military Chinese book. Although we have never met, we can understand his mood. I don’t mean to look down on businessmen, it’s just a different position You can do different things. Gentlemen have different skills, but they have their own strengths. With my current conditions, this is the only way I can go. It’s okay to go and have a look.” I smiled and said, “Ah, you Don't expect me to work as hard as you and big brother."

Feixiang looked into the distance, then casually turned the wine bag in his hand upside down and spilled the wine on the ground.I also followed his example and spilled the wine on the ground to mourn the dead.

After thinking about it, I stood up, straightened my clothes, and faced the endless white snow and the emerging emerald green below the cliff, I formally bowed down and knelt down, kowtowing three times.

My Father, my lord Li Wenxian, my lord Lin Mu, happy Chinese New Year.

With a flick of his wrist, Feixiang spilled the wine without leaving a drop, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, I wish you a happy new year."

I burst out laughing.

We went down the mountain in the afternoon and went back to our respective homes.Although I don't have a great ideal, and I don't have a dream that I want to run towards it without doubt. All I have are some small and big greed and ambition, but I have worked very hard, haven't I? ?I only hope that one day, I can be your student without fear of tarnishing your reputation.

Li Wenxian said that when one day I do something worthy of my pride for the rest of my life, I will be considered a teacher.

It is really an easy and difficult task.

When I returned to Kui Mansion, Huang Yi came back one step ahead of me.I walked a few steps quickly and said awkwardly, "I'm just going to buy vegetables now, why don't you wait?"

Huang Yi took my hand and sat down in the living room, "Didn't I tell you to take care of a few more people?"

I smiled and said, "I hate my thick hands?" I held him back, "Don't think about it, I scratched my hands when I was learning how to ride a horse in the early years. I went to the countryside in those two years, and I had to give him a hand. Washing clothes by yourself? Although this hand is a bit deformed, it is impossible for everyone who wants to become a piano, but I have no such role in the first place. Playing the piano is to cultivate myself and relieve worries. Isn't it the last thing?" I rested my head on his shoulder, "Of course, it's a very good thing for my husband to allow me to be lazy. Then let's eat casually tonight? Just forget it next time. "

Huang Yi flicked my forehead lightly with his fingers, "Don't be too busy, I'll do it."

I shook my head, "You are also tired from work, this is the only thing I can do, so don't argue with me."

"You don't need to do anything to become the mistress of the Aoi Mansion."

Hearing this, I was stunned.Although Huang Yi has always handled affairs neatly, but it was the first time that he spoke so bluntly on this kind of topic.I raised my head slightly, and was facing Shang Huangyi's gray and blue eyes.

When he was sharp, his eyes were so cold, but now, his eyes are beautiful.

"Huang Yi, shall we go out to play on the night of the fifteenth?" I lowered my head again, smiled and reached out to hug his waist.

"……Um."

"...Why do you hesitate?"

"I didn't expect you to be interested in things like lantern festivals."

I twitched the corners of my mouth, "You don't know, the aunt is actually a romantic woman." Fuck you.

Huang Yi smiled and grabbed my shoulder, and said softly, "I've already prepared it."

Tease me again!I also smiled and touched his shoulder with my head, "Yes, thank you sir."

After a long time, when the afterglow of the setting sun filled the front of the hall, I looked at the gorgeous golden color of the ground and said, "Huang Yi, before the end of the [-]th day, I want to tell you something, don't be angry. "

"Why can't we say it now?"

"Because you'll be angry, and I don't want to be scolded so early on."

"...What are you thinking again?"

"Master is wise."

"..." Huang Yi sighed heavily.

I buried my face in front of him and laughed.

It's one thing to like it or not, but it's another thing to live a good life seriously.I have always hoped that Huang Yi will live well.

Early in the morning on the [-]th day, Huang Yi and I first went to the ruins of the Kui Family Ancestral Hall.Everything in the Kui family was destroyed by the former king, and even the family tomb no longer exists.It's not that he hates the Kui family so much, but that the former king was determined to remove all signs that could unite the family.After standing with Huang Yilue for a while, they turned to the peak season mansion for dinner.In the evening, Huiqi also came as promised.

Before dinner, I helped Huijia into the courtyard.

"Zhang Xiaolan, if you don't agree this year, I won't have the energy to take care of you anymore." Huiqia gritted her teeth, "Kui's kid, you're really hard to deal with."

I suppressed a smile, "Yes, I understand."

"... What did you say?" Huijia blinked.

"I mean, I agree." I let go of Huijia's hand, folded my knees and bowed to him as a subordinate official, "I will ask you to give me more advice in the future." I raised my head and smiled at him, " Huang Yi just thinks that I can spend this holiday in peace, please don't be offended, my lord."

Huijia's face gradually became serious, "Have you figured it out?"

"Yes. But I need your permission for one thing. I don't want the position of the governor of the state, just any subordinate position." Middle levels.

He thought for a while, then realized, and frowned, "Xiao Lan, think clearly. It's not easy for you and Huang Yi to get to this point. Zheng Youshun has already arranged for you the way you should go, so there's no need to do this."

I smiled and said: "If the adults don't agree, I won't agree. If you come, you will go."

"...Damn you stinky girl." Huijia slapped me on the forehead.

After the meal, Huiqi and Wang Ji went to chat, and Yan Shu, who also came, stuck to Wang Ji's side.On this Lantern Festival, Huang Yi and I went to the streets of Guiyang to watch the lanterns as we had agreed earlier.Walking among the stalls, large and small, I held a small goldfish-shaped lantern and walked casually around Huang Yi's arm.

"Why goldfish?" Although Huang Yi obediently paid for me to buy a lamp to play with, this guy who always wanted to blame me for my low taste still frowned fiercely.

I smiled and shook the lamp in my hand, letting the little fire light that was insignificant in the lantern festival sway in the air, with a bit of a dizzying taste, "It's a blessing. If you don't treat the goldfish well God, I will become a goldfish in my next life.”

"I've hit your head and I'll take you to see a doctor." He simply concluded.

"...It's too much." I'm just joking. Hey, I just think that this Jinyu gentleman makes me feel very friendly.

"Just kidding." He said with a cold face on purpose.

I opened my mouth in a daze, and laughed out loud when I came back to my senses, Huang Yi also lowered his face, and followed me into a smile.Tired from walking, Huang Yi took me to a restaurant where I had already reserved a seat. Looking from the private room on the second floor, it was Guiyang that was lit up by the lights.After a short rest, Xiao Er came up and said that it was time.Huang Yi and I looked at each other, walked to the edge of the balcony railing together, and looked up at the sky.

With a whoosh, a beam of flame rushed into the sky, and then with a bang, seven-colored fireworks burst out.I looked sideways, and Huang Yi standing beside him was reflected by the light of fireworks.His facial features are no more distinct than when he was young, but I think they are more profound.

"Huang Yi."

He turned his head.

I raised a smile, "You divorced me, okay?"

Hearing this, Huang Yi froze.

I kept smiling, and tried hard to look at his expression at the moment, "Of course, it would be better if you are willing to leave, although I don't mind the reputation, but this kind of thing, I should really mind it, right? But if you mind, you can use Hugh's, I don't mind."

At this point, the effect of our marriage is almost useless, You Shun's next step is to let me serve as a state official with the support of Huijia and Huang Yi's influence.Due to my in-law relationship, I am no longer a hard-line royalist, but I am not an aristocratic faction based on my track record. With the fair and strict official Huijia, my position will become a neutral faction.As my official position increases and my influence in the government increases, Huang Yi can also take advantage of the trend to integrate the aristocratic faction and pull it towards neutrality, so that the faction will gradually disappear over time.My role is to be a symbolic representative, taking the first step towards neutrality for the aristocracy.As for the king, Zi Liuhui is not a small-minded person, and Feixiang and Fengzhu are also right and wrong. As long as the younger generation of royalists return from their experience, the dispute between the two parties will be considered a draw.

When they support me, my official position will increase, the reciprocity with Huang Yi will increase, and the forces will become entangled. In the end, we will become an unbreakable marriage relationship, and we will be tied together peacefully for a lifetime, which is stronger than a marriage letter guaranteed.

It's just, how can I be so important?Even without me, I believe that Huang Yi can definitely do it by himself, it's just a matter of making changes.But without the backing of Huang Yi, I don't have enough capital to step up to the seventh rank in one fell swoop.

There are many roads, and the final direction is just one's own choice.

I will still be an official, Huang Yi, and I will still do what he wants to do.

"Huang Yi," I folded my hands in front of my body, turned around, and faced Huang Yi, "What do you think?" I didn't regret choosing this destination, but I wanted to change the path forward.

I don't want to be someone who just makes him hard.

Huang Yi opened his eyes slightly.

I raised the curve of my lips, thankfully the extinguished fireworks didn't reflect the tip of my nose which was probably red.

To work hard for the promised happiness, is it putting the cart before the horse?

Please continue to move forward towards your dream, be well and be happy.
