Summon players, rebuild Dawei

Xie Yin was silent for a while, then raised his hand to take the hairpin.

The hairpin touching his fingertips was as cold as snow, but he felt as if his heart was being scorched by the coldness.

Seeing him accepting the gift, Jiang Shu showed a brighter smile on his face, and asked, "Brother Xie promised not to be angry with me?"

Xie Yin raised his eyes when he heard the words, and noticed that he seemed relaxed as if he had settled a big trouble, and suddenly wanted to ask, do you know what is the meaning of giving peony to someone?

However, this does not seem necessary to ask questions.

Just from the clear eyes of the young man smiling, it is clear that he has no other thoughts.

What's more, maybe he didn't even recognize the why flower, but just saw its purity, beauty and brilliance, so he bought it as a gift for him.

Xie Yin knew very well that it was precisely because Jiang Shu didn't pay much attention to these aspects that he always had misunderstandings and daydreams.

But even so...knowingly so...

He still couldn't help but accept the flower hairpin, and couldn't stop his heartbeat.

"Brother Xie?" After waiting for a long time for an answer, Jiang Shu confirmed to him again, "Aren't you angry?"

"It's never happened before." Xie Min replied, his tone was as indifferent as ever.

"really?"

"Ah."

"Then you have been particularly alienated and indifferent to me these past few days, or you don't speak, and when you speak, you are thorny, just because you are in a bad mood?"

Xie Yin didn't know what he looked like in his eyes, he paused for a while, then Fang nodded.

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

"No reason."

"Okay." Jiang Shu acknowledged his answer.

As adults, they are busy with endless work every day, and their life in the government office is unchanging day after day, and there will always be times when they are inexplicably lost.

He could only persuade himself in this way, otherwise he really couldn't find any other more reasonable explanation.

In the past two nights, before going to bed, Jiang Shu would involuntarily play the conversation that made Xie Yin unhappy repeatedly in his mind, thinking about which link offended the other party.

Now that he has explained clearly that he is not a scumbag who likes men and wants to marry a wife, it stands to reason that Xie Yin shouldn't be angry with him.

He thought about many possibilities, and even guessed whether Xie Min had a baby kiss with a girl from the Yin family, but he still couldn't figure out a result.

You can't be angry that he doesn't like Xun Ling, can you?

That's too nonsensical.

Otherwise, is it because he is angry that he is not broken?

If you think about it from this perspective, this matter is a bit big.

For some reason, every time this thought came up, Jiang Shu felt a little terrified, as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, precariously.

Now knowing that the other party was simply depressed for no reason, he felt relieved, and at the same time, a trace of nameless loss crossed his heart.

But this emotion was fleeting and was quickly ignored by him.

"In this case, let's go shopping today, take a walk in a lively place, and you will feel much more refreshed." After speaking, Jiang Shu put on the mask again, as if he was ready to continue shopping.

Xie Yin had no reason to refuse, so he nodded in response.

Before stepping forward, she looked at the flower hairpin in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and pinned it around her waist.

The two stood on the street for a long time, which inevitably attracted the attention of passers-by, but ordinary people did not dare to approach them even if they recognized them, while most of the players were busy with festival tasks and followed the parade in groups to join in the fun.

The Nuo God parade will perform along the way, and sometimes randomly select a shop, go into the shop to get some offerings, and help the shopkeepers drive away ghosts and epidemics. The parade is very slow.

Therefore, even though they were delayed for some time, Jiang Shu and the others still caught up with the Nuo procession when they were approaching the entrance of the West Market.

There are a lot of people following the parade, and they are basically players dressed as gods from all walks of life.

However, due to backward conditions and tight time, everyone's props and makeup are not very exquisite. At first glance, it is really lively enough to see monsters and ghosts crowded together.

The aborigines may not be able to see anything, and think that these strangely dressed people are members of the Nuo team, and they are ghost performers for the Nuo god. However, modern people like Jiang Shu, looking at this scene, feel that Very funny.

On the left side, Chi You, the god of war with horns on his head and a big ax in his hand, is crossing shoulders with the Land Lord, who has white beard and hair and a cane in his hand. Looking at the right side, Avalokitesvara holding a jade bottle and Chang'e holding a rabbit are hand in hand. travel with...

There are even angels with wings on their backs and unknown creatures with tentacles all over their bodies. The out of place costumes make it difficult to understand the brain circuits of these players.

Of course, fun is fun, and Jiang Shu didn't dare to get too close to them. When he was near the end of the team, he took Xie Min to a drink shop by the road for a break.

If the existence of players has contributed the most to the development of Miryang's industry, it must be the catering industry.

Players brought all kinds of modern delicacies here, which once hit the local restaurants and snacks, but the aborigines are not stupid. When they see something delicious and easy to sell, they will naturally find a way to eat it. products to ponder.

Even if some food preparation methods are beyond the imagination of the chefs of this era, and they can't figure out a famous one in a short time, they will try their best to imitate, even incorporate the local taste characteristics, and do better than the players.

Now, Jiang and Shu are sitting in a milk tea shop run by an aborigine.

Seeing the guests who entered the door surrounded by several burly guards, the owner of the shop keenly sensed that the visitors were of good status, so he hurriedly dismissed the waiters and went over to serve them in person with the menu.

"The tea in our store, don't dare to say anything else, but it is definitely the first in Miryang in terms of the freshness of the tea and the richness of the ingredients." The boss said and put the menu in front of the two of them, "Please look at it, both of you. Anything above can be added to the tea and brewed together.”

Jiang Shu looked at it and was really surprised.

Such as pudding, red beans, taro paste, dried flowers and fruits, etc., which are already sold by players, are not uncommon here as additions, but there are also strange food condiments such as glutinous rice, oats, ginger, shredded steamed buns, rice wine, and dogwood. , this store does have some dares to try.

Although the tea ingredients were rich and varied, Jiang Shu only wanted a cup of simple hot drink, so he ordered a cup of milk tea with no additives.

Xie Yin is the same.

After a while, the boss personally delivered the freshly brewed milk tea, filling the room with a strong aroma of milk and tea.

The freshly brewed milk tea was very hot, Jiang Shu scooped up a spoonful of it and blew on it, tasted it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction.

On a cold winter night, you should have a cup of hot tea. Besides, the milk tea in this shop tastes really good. There is not much caramel added, and the sweetness is light. It tastes rich in milk but not greasy.

The two of them were sitting by the window, and they could just see the bustling parade in the street market.

Maybe Nuo God entered another shop to exorcise ghosts and eliminate epidemics. The team stagnated in the street, and the players at the end of the team had already shopped at the food stalls behind.

While drinking steaming milk tea, Jiang Shu looked out with great interest, taking pleasure in identifying the identity of a certain player.

Suddenly, he noticed a female player with a very stylish appearance. The upper body of the other party was very beautifully dressed, with big sleeves, fluttering ribbons, and a high bun. The lower body was a long and thick boa constrictor Tail.

The girl obviously put a lot of effort into the production of the props. The snake tail not only has clear and realistic patterns, but also is filled with fullness. When people walk, the tail slides across the ground in a winding way, and passers-by will be shocked if they don’t pay attention.

Jiang Shu was attracted by that tail, and couldn't help but focus on identifying the name of this very talented player from a sea of ​​green names. Coincidentally, the other party was an acquaintance, and it was Ji Wuyou who used to act as a little widow blocking the way at the gate of the government. .

Participating in every festival with such dedication, he deserves to be recognized as a drama star among the players.

"What are you looking at?" Xie Min asked suddenly.

"I saw an old acquaintance, it's just..." Jiang Shu wanted to mention the previous incident with him, but suddenly remembered that Ji Wuyou committed suicide when he was taken into prison. After his rebirth, he has changed his face. Xie Yin will definitely not recognize it. When he came out, he temporarily changed his words: "It's an old friend. If you don't know him, I won't mention it."

Xie Yin raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly, and turned his head to look in the direction he was looking at just now.

Because of the angle, Ji Wuyou's tail was blocked by the window frame. He could only see a beautiful mature woman leaning against a stall selling plum blossoms and chatting with people. She didn't know what she was talking about. Under the dim light, there is a flirtatious temperament.

After a while, he retracted his gaze calmly, lowered his eyes, and stroked the white peony petals on his waist with his fingertips.

Suddenly, an unscrupulous idea sprouted in his heart, spread and grew in an instant, and then began to writhe wantonly.

He thought, I have given you the way home, and you insisted on touching my love strings. If I pester you into a sea of ​​lust and suffering in the future, I can't blame me at all.

The sound of gongs and drums floated into the window with the faint night wind, and the parade set off slowly again.

Jiang Shu withdrew his gaze, picked up the tea bowl and drank it down in one gulp, and was about to ask Xie Min to go out for a walk, but the other party asked in a casual tone: "Have you thought about a plan for your marriage with the Yin family? "

Jiang Shu's attention was immediately diverted when he heard the words, and he sighed, "I'm not waiting for you to give me advice."

"This matter is not difficult to solve," Xie Min raised his eyes, and met his gaze across the low table, "However, maybe you will be wronged for not being able to get married for a few years."

"Based on my current state, if I were to find a single in my twenties that I really like, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to do it in five years." Jiang Shu smiled helplessly, "Tell me, yes What a way."

Xie Yin nodded, and pondered: "As far as I know, Shangshu Zuo Pushe dotes on his daughter very much."

"Yes, and then what?"

"My lord thinks that Yin Chongxing chose the Jiang family because of Jiang's power in Xunzhou?

"Isn't it?"

Xie Min shook his head: "This is only a small part of the reasons. Yin Zhongxing wants to marry his daughter to Xunzhou. The bigger factor is that he wants to keep his daughter safe."

After hearing his last sentence, Jiang Shu suddenly understood: "Because the capital is not peaceful, because he offended the Southwest King?"

"That's right." Xie Min responded lightly, and continued: "Beijing is not stable, and other states and counties are also disturbed by military disasters. In contrast, Xun Prefecture is gradually becoming rich and stable, and Yin Chongxing attaches the most importance to this. , so, my lord, you don't have to worry about your refusal affecting your brother's marriage."

Jiang Shu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Then how can I refuse, so as not to hurt the friendship between the two families?"

Xie Min didn't speak yet, and raised his head to scan the surrounding guards.

Jiang Shu looked at Bu Qu and understood what he meant, and immediately raised his hand to signal them to take a few steps back and guard the surroundings to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

When there were only the two of them left at the scene, Xie Yin said in a clear voice: "My lord, if you are prepared not to get married for a few years, maybe you can use your past reputation to avoid this marriage."

Jiang Shu was slightly taken aback: "You said, I envy Xun Rongyue's reputation?"

"En." Xie Yin nodded, "Yin Zhongxing dotes on his daughter, if he hears this rumor, he will naturally give up the idea of ​​marrying his second daughter to you without your efforts."

It sounds very simple, but Jiang Shu always felt that there was something wrong with this method, he frowned and said, "In this way, can I still marry a wife in the future?"

"Since the rumors are rumors, it is because there is no evidence and no evidence. When the lord has someone he likes, he can clarify with her. When the lord has a wife, the rumors in the world will be self-defeating."

Hearing his explanation, Jiang Shu thought that it really made sense, and agreed.

"However, General Xun is fighting the enemy far away in Yongzhou, so I can't involve him for no reason, right?"

"General Xun can't do it, so can others."

Jiang Shu laughed helplessly: "I'm afraid no one is willing to cooperate with such a thing that damages reputation!"

Xie Yin bowed his head and took a sip of tea, after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice: "If my lord doesn't mind, I can cooperate with my lord."
