The fairy is fierce

"Candied haws!"

"Coal is sold..."

"grumble?"

…

Light snow was falling along both sides of the river, and the shops on the streets had a more festive atmosphere. People from the surrounding counties came to the capital to attend the market, and there were also some out-of-towners who looked like immortals among the crowd.

Amidst shouts and shouts all over the street, the boatman who was carrying passengers at the pier noticed a group of people walking from outside Fangshi out of the corner of his eye and unexpectedly said:

"Hey, Shopkeeper Tang, you are such a rare guest... You are dressed like a little daughter-in-law. It seems that the water was thrown in the right place two years ago. I am also half a matchmaker. Why didn't I see you send me a thank you gift or something... …”

"Go, go, I'm not married yet... I'll give you two jugs of wedding wine in a few days, okay?"

"Hey, are you planning to come back for a happy event?"

"Stop whistling, I'll be embarrassed if the neighbors hear me...Where's Lao Zhang? Why didn't you see anyone else?"

"I retired, got a job as a pensioner in the arrest department, and stopped patrolling the streets a long time ago..."

…

The pedestrians who stopped and chatted on the street were naturally Tang Jingxun and Zuo Lingquan who had just returned from the north.

Zuo Lingquan held a flower umbrella to shield Jingxun from the wind and snow; Xie Qiutao stood beside the gourd pile, buying candied haws for the dumplings. Hearing the conversation, he was a little confused and asked curiously:

"Sister Jingxun, what are you throwing water at? What does the boat master mean by this?"

"When I first came to the capital two years ago, I walked here. Jingxun came out of the house and poured a basin of boiling water on me."

"Then Mr. Zuo took advantage of his status and kidnapped Sister Jingxun?"

"..."

Zuo Lingquan originally wanted to deny it, but thinking about what happened later, it seemed that there was no problem in saying so, so he smiled and said nothing.

After picking up Jiang Yi from Yinheng Mountain, there was no longer any stop on Zuo Lingquan Road, and he returned directly to Dadan on the border of Southern Wilderness.

On the boat that day, Zuo Lingquan said that he wanted to clean up Lingye and revitalize his husband. Although he had this intention, time did not allow it, and Xie Qiutao was still waiting below. He couldn't really fight to win or lose, so he finally gave up after a brief taste. war.

The current relationship between Lingye and Jiang Yi is very complicated. Anyway, the two of them were at odds. On the way back, Jiang Yi no longer helped Lingye handle official affairs. She even took Qingwan with her and stayed with Zuo Ling. Quan Qing Qing Qing me me.

Lingye was busy with official duties, couldn't keep his butt off the stool, and couldn't get anyone to help him. He was really exhausted, but compared with his status as the boss, what was this tiredness? Not only did they not ask Jiang Yi and Qingwan for a hand, they would stretch out from time to time and show off the bracelets on their hands.

Qingwan naturally stood by Jiang Yi, with the intention of finding a place for Jiang Yi. She had been carefully making torture tools these past few days, and she had the intention of sharpening the knife in front of Lingye.

In the confrontation in the backyard, the most difficult thing was Zuo Lingquan, who was caught in the middle. He was walking on thin ice these days and was even more cautious than when he was brutally tortured by his ancestor.

But as a man, you should be a little bit tired sometimes. After coaxing you carefully all the way, you finally got through the journey back home.

After returning to Dadan, Jiang Yi took Leng Zhu back to the palace to visit her relatives; Ling Ye and Qing Wan went to Qihuang Valley, where there is the statue of the ancestor, and they must burn incense when passing through this place; Jing Xun wanted to go home Once there, Zuo Lingquan came with him and showed Xie Qiutao the customs and customs of Dadan.

After Tang Jingxuan finished chatting with the boatman, he returned to Zuo Lingquan's side and walked side by side to the small restaurant that had been closed for a long time. He sighed a little:

"It feels like I haven't been out for a long time. The streets have changed a lot. Every house has been renovated. It is said that it was money provided by the imperial court..."

Qihuang Valley has become the sect of Jingtai Terrace and is gradually on the right track. The Immortal Family Market has been built, and there are naturally more outsiders.

Linhefang, as the entrance to and from the capital city, naturally had to be tidied up. Even Tang Jingxun's small restaurant was renovated under the arrangement of the third uncle.

Zuo Lingquan accompanied Jing Xun to the small restaurant that had been closed all year round. He felt a little nostalgic when he recalled the time when they first met at the door.

Tuanzi returned to the place where he grew up as a child, and naturally felt more cordial. He took Xie Qiutao around and kept saying "jiji~", probably saying "there is a stupid cat in this house and a stupid dog in that house." If so, introduce it to Xie Qiutao.

Zuo Lingquan did not follow him. After Jingxun opened the door of the wine shop, they entered the shop together.

When Tang Jingxuan returned to her small home, she felt a little more cheerful. She walked around the shop, touched a few old wine jars, thought for a while and turned around and said:

"Xiao Zuo, let's... Let's get married. Do you want to tell the dead mother-in-law?"

The marriage was brought up by Lingye. Zuo Lingquan and Jingxun had long been inseparable from each other. It was natural to go home during the Chinese New Year and get married, so it was naturally decided without telling the ancestors.

Although this kind of thing is a private matter, Jingxun can affect the ancestor after all. Zuo Lingquan thought for a while and said:

"Let's say hello. I'll see when it's convenient for me, ancestor, and I'll just set the date."

As a woman who has not yet left the court, Tang Jingxun is naturally a little nervous about the marriage. But when she thought that she was the first girl to get married in the Zuo family's ancestral home, there was no hesitation left.

Thinking of the dead mother-in-law who was standing in the way, Tang Jingxun was still a little worried:

"What if the dead mother-in-law doesn't agree? When I come back next time, I don't know how many years later, I... I want to get married at home."

Zuo Lingquan shook his head and smiled, then put his arms around Tang Jingxun's waist and came to the backyard:

"Just say hello in advance. Ancestor is not an unreasonable person. How could he interfere in your marriage..."

The backyard was burned once by the stolen elixir remnant soul, but now it has been renovated, and the ground is paved with bluestone tiles.

Tang Jingxuan stirred a strand of hair with her fingers, returned to her boudoir, sat down on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and said to the air:

"Mother, are you busy?"

Zuo Lingquan was sitting next to him and couldn't hear the ancestor's response. He could only see Tang Jingxuan listening for a moment and frowned:

"Then when are you not busy? I...Xiao Zuo and I are getting married. Marriage...Marriage means that. If you are busy all the time, I can't be alone on my wedding day, right?"

"You think about it? What's there to think about? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. If you're busy in the next few days, I can just finish things with Xiao Zuo now, and just go through the motions on the wedding day..."

Now?

Zuo Lingquan raised his eyebrows and was a little interested in this proposal. Unfortunately, Jingxun listened for a moment and nodded again:

"That's pretty much it, then it's settled. Don't interrupt me when the time comes. We'll have a wedding once in a lifetime. If you dare to come, I'll let Xiao Zuo continue. I'll embarrass you to death..."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan blinked, not daring to answer. After Jing Xun's expression returned to normal, he asked:

"What did the ancestor say?"

"She said we can just make our own arrangements."

"I'll just say it."

…

There was silence in the courtyard.

Tang Jingxuan sat on the small bed where he had slept alone for more than 20 years. He looked up at the renovated beams and felt a little strange, but he missed it very much.

She thought for a while, took out the jewelry box that had been treasured for many years from Linglong Pavilion, put it in its original state, looked at her cheek in the bronze mirror, and sighed:

"I used to think that I would never get married and just keep this small property. I didn't expect that this world is more unrealistic than dreams. There are all sorts of messy things. In the blink of an eye, you, a brat like you, got it... …”

Before Zuo Lingquan set foot on Linhefang, he did not expect that the world would be so big. He lay down on the bed, holding the back of his head:

"This is called fate. When fate comes, we will naturally come together. How can you say that I got it?"

Tang Jingxuan looked over and saw that Tuanzi and Xie Qiutao didn't come back, so they also lay down, lying side by side beside Zuo Lingquan, with their legs dangling in the air and looking at the tent above:

"I don't believe in fate. If marriage is destined by God, doesn't it mean that the relationship between men and women is arranged by God. You just met step by step, and your love is not from the bottom of your heart at all."

"Huh?" Zuo Lingquan heard this statement for the first time and thought it made sense:

"It seems to be the case. We should be together because we fought for it. We fall in love naturally. It has nothing to do with God."

"Yes. You were greedy for beauty and fell in love with me, my sister. That's why I was kidnapped by you. It has nothing to do with God."?

Zuo Lingquan turned over, using his elbows as support, and looked down at the mature and beautiful face close at hand:

"What are you talking about? What I like about Sister Tang is her interesting soul, and it has nothing to do with coveting beauty."

Tang Jingxuan didn't believe it at all, raised his hand and pinched Zuo Lingquan's face:

"When you first arrived on the pier, I poured a basin of water on you. You are a rich man from a wealthy family. If you didn't think I was good-looking, why would you come to sit in my shop on the pier?"

Zuo Lingquan briefly recalled that if the person who threw the water was a rough man, he would not have eaten in the wine shop...

"Well...at that time I felt that Xun'er was a kind-hearted person and it was natural for him to take care of the business of the wine shop. What does it have to do with lust. ඏ♦  ♦♦"

Tang Jingxun twirled her hair with her fingertips and hummed:

"What about at night? You know that I am the only lonely woman in the shop, but you still come knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Do you dare to say that you are not worried?"

Zuo Lingquan had a clear conscience: "The ferocious beast was causing trouble at that time. It was reasonable for me to come over at night to check on the situation."

"Then you mean you didn't have any thoughts about me at that time?"

"I……"

Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth. He couldn't say that he was not interested at all in the situation where he was in love with his concubine, and there were some things that he couldn't explain himself. He moved his eyes to Jingxun because she was lying on her back and slightly spread out. On the lapel:

"Everyone has a love for beauty. Seeing Xuanxun so beautiful, I might be a little tempted subconsciously, but it's definitely not to the extent of plotting something evil."

Tang Jingxuan noticed Zuo Lingquan's gaze and blushed slightly, but did not avoid it. He looked around, raised his hand to open the skirt of his clothes, and asked curiously:

"What attracted you to your sister at that time? This? Uh-huh?"

Big, white...

Zuo Lingquan coughed lightly and pretended to close the collar:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am a young knight from a well-known family. How could I stare at a woman's breasts... dumplings whenever I see her?"

Tang Jingxuan was dubious, thought for a moment and said, "That means you are attracted to my age, right?"

"age?"

"Well, don't think that I don't know what you like. I've heard the talkative woman in the neighborhood say before that this man is very weird. He is an older man and likes younger girls, the kind who are fifteen or sixteen years old. , Old cows eat young grass; and those boys of fifteen or sixty-year-olds prefer those who are older than them, preferably the ones who are mature enough to pull a small horse and a big cart, which makes them feel very conquered..."? ?

Zuo Lingquan had a strange look in his eyes. He raised his hand and patted Jingxuan's waist:

"Who are you listening to? Where does this nonsense come from?"

Tang Jingxun pretended to be a big sister and said seriously:

"Don't underestimate the aunties in the neighborhood. It's all based on the experience of people who have been there. I didn't believe it before, but after I followed you, I found that you liked your older sister even though you were young; you always came to my shop at that time. , it must be because of this.”

Zuo Lingquan shook his head seriously at this statement:

"I don't have such a weird habit. I only meet older sisters because the life span of the spiritual path is too long. I am only twenty years old, so it is difficult to meet girls younger than me. If I can, I will When I'm three thousand years old, or when I'm thirteen years old, I'll be... well, fate will naturally bring us together, how come I only like pulling carts..."

When Zuo Lingquan said this, he felt that this description was very strange. He slightly spread his hands to indicate his powerful body:

"Besides, do I have a physique like a pony? A wild horse is about the same."

Tang Jingxuan glanced up and down, his eyes suddenly closing at a certain place in Zuo Lingquan:

"I...I don't have anything like that, how do I know if you are a pony or a wild horse."?

Is this questioning a man’s ability?

Zuo Lingquan naturally couldn't bear this. He took Jing Xun's hand and pulled it to him:

"You'll know if you try it."

Tang Jingxun and Zuo Lingquan rolled under the covers, but it was Zuo Lingquan who bullied her, and she kept hugging him without daring to move.

After coming into contact with the wild horse that was about to run away, Tang Jingxuan's face turned red and she whispered:

"How can you try this? No...don't you wait until you get married?"

Zuo Lingquan felt provoked and didn't want to give up. He held his little hand and whispered in Tang Jingxuan's ear:

"Can……"

Tang Jingxuan watched the shameless Qingwan practice. In fact, she understood many things. She shook her fair little hand and said hesitantly:

"Well...if you think about it, I can do it of course, it's not difficult, but...I'm just afraid that my mother-in-law will come over later and pull out the sword, bang."

Blood splattered on the wall! ! !

Zuo Lingquan felt a chill somewhere, and the thought he had just had disappeared in shock. He took up his quiet hand, put it on his chest to warm it, and said with a smile:

"Oh, I'm just saying casually, it's fine just lying down like this."

Tang Jingxuan blinked his eyes, feeling that he could not let his man be wronged, so he moved his hand back:

"What are you afraid of? She's so powerful, she won't hurt you. And if I'm not upset, she won't feel anything, so she probably won't come over."

Zuo Lingquan didn't think that Jingxun could calm the mind. If the ancestor came and really struck with a 'sword drawn sword', his power would be gone, so he was very honest.

But when Jingxun saw this, he got even more excited. He turned against the guest and pressed on him, unbuckled his belt, and looked like he was teasing a good young man.

With Zuo Lingquan's determination, he would definitely not be able to withstand it. Fortunately, before the two of them could wipe out the flames, there was movement in the alley outside the yard:

"Thank you girl, what are you doing hanging on the door?"

"Oh, it's nothing, just looking around."

"Really?... Zuo Lingquan and Jingxun are inside?"

"Yeah, I don't know, hehe~ I'll go over there and have a look..."

…

Tang Jingxun didn't realize that Xie Qiutao was eavesdropping outside the yard. When he saw the princess coming, he quickly turned over and sat up, straightened his clothes and hair, and whispered:

"Go out quickly, and don't talk about messing around with me here."

Zuo Lingquan smiled, stood up and walked out of the room, jumped over the courtyard wall, and landed in the back alley——

Thin and dense snow particles disappeared without a trace as soon as they landed on the bluestone floor tiles.

Jiang Yi, who had put on the heroine costume she had worn when they first met, stood in the alleyway with a sword hanging on her waist, looking at the direction Xie Qiutao ran away, with a bit of suspicion in her eyes.

Before she could inquire about the situation in the yard, Jiang Yi was tapped on the shoulder, and a clear voice came from her ear:

"Brother, your chest muscles are so exaggerated, you look like a Lianjiazi at first glance..."

As he spoke, a hand came around from his side.

Pinch...? !

Jiang Yi's shoulders trembled slightly, her face darkened, she lifted up her embroidered shoes and stepped back.

Naturally, I didn't step on it this time.

Zuo Lingquan accepted it as soon as he saw it was good, returned to his gentlemanly demeanor, and asked:

"Are you done with the palace affairs?"

Jiang Yi adjusted the robe on her chest, glared at Zuo Lingquan, then walked deeper into the alleyway, saying coldly:

"I am a married princess. What can happen in the palace? What are you and Jingxun doing in the house? It doesn't matter whether you are outside in broad daylight or not. You don't have to worry about being heard by the neighbors when you go home..."

Zuo Lingquan heard the jealousy in the words and raised his hand to hook Jiang Yi's shoulder:

"It's just a trip back to the old place. Miss Xie is outside, what can I do?"

Jiang Yi twisted her shoulders and didn't hide away, so she stopped hiding. She wanted to get close to Zuo Lingquan's chest and smell it, but she didn't expect that Zuo Lingquan lowered his head and kissed her forehead. She quickly covered her forehead:

"Why did you start to take action after less than three sentences? I haven't forgiven you yet. If you do this again, I will divorce you directly."

Zuo Lingquan was slightly confused: "Forgive me for what?"

Jiang Yi's expression was unnatural, and it was difficult to explain clearly, but after hesitating for a moment, she said directly:

"What else could it be? That old fox shows off with a bracelet all day long and bullied me into this. Not only did you not speak for me, you also turned against her everywhere..."

Zuo Lingquan hugged Jiang Yi tighter and innocently said:

"That's wrong. Last time Lingye showed off her bracelet and refused to sit in front of her. Didn't I slap her butt and give her a good beating? The princess felt very relieved at the time and was still taunting her." Aren't you capable? What are you yelling about...'.

At that time, Jiang Yi felt comfortable watching a man venting her anger, but after thinking about it later, she no longer felt that way.

Jiang Yi frowned, her eyes full of anger, and whispered:

"Can that be considered tidying up? I was sitting in front of you that day, watching you and her... That kind of thing, she was obviously very comfortable, right? She felt comfortable as long as you tidied her up, but I was watching from the side. I'm holding on, and I'm asking you to use too much force... Sigh, now that I think about it, it's like having water in your head..."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan wanted to laugh, but if he did, his wife in his arms would transform into a tigress and bite him to death, so he looked understanding and frowned:

"What should I do? How about I pay more attention to the princess next time we are together?"

Jiang Yi shook her head quickly: "No, you... you are neither serious nor serious. I am not as thick-skinned as her. If you take care of me, she will still laugh at me when she sees it. Maybe she will laugh at me with my aunt."

Zuo Lingquan was really at a loss: "It's not right to take care of Lingye, nor is it right to take care of the princess, so what should I do?"

Jiang Yi pursed her lips and glanced at Zuo Lingquan. Although it was difficult to speak, she still stood on tiptoes and leaned into his ear:

"When you take care of her, don't just serve her. You are not..."

Whisper softly...

Zuo Lingquan listened carefully, his eyes gradually became weird, and he looked back at Jiang Yi's perfect buttocks:

"Isn't this...not good? Lingye doesn't agree..."

Jiang Yi's eyes widened: "You are a man, why do you care whether she agrees or not? Is it possible that my aunt will agree?"

"Um."

Zuo Lingquan also lowered his voice and said seriously:

"It must have been Qingwan herself who agreed, so I dared to find another way..."

"Stop, don't ruin the books."

"Haha, at least I have to give in half-heartedly. If I don't want to, how can I do anything random? If I try hard on the princess, will the princess agree?"

As he said that, he wanted to pull Jiang Yi towards the courtyard.

Jiang Yi's expression changed, and she quickly dodged away, protecting her back with her hands:

"I don't, if you dare to do that to me, I...I'll hit you to death!"

Zuo Lingquan was just joking. He put his arm around Jiang Yi's shoulders and continued walking:

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you, so this method is inappropriate."

Jiang Yi looked behind her and said angrily:

"You have to do to her what she doesn't want you to do to her. Otherwise, how can you call her tidying up? You... I think you are partial. My aunt is such a gentle person, but you can make her submit. But when you get to Lingye, you won't do it." I can’t bear it anymore…”

"How could it be?"

"That's right! I don't care anyway. If you don't deal with her like that and suppress her arrogance, I won't be able to swallow this breath."

How could Zuo Lingquan not want Lingye to wear a tail and play the role of a little fox? He just didn't have time to follow the temptation. He thought for a while and said:

"Okay, I'll use my sharp tongue as soon as possible to persuade Ling Ye to surrender, okay? Actually, in that case, Ling Ye is practicing and the princess is watching. If you want me to make suggestions, it should be the princess and me. Let's let go of the practice together, and let Lingye watch and covet her..."

"You think beautifully."

Jiang Yi felt that talking like this in broad daylight was a bit too much, so she raised her hand and gently pushed Zuo Lingquan's chin, closed his mouth, then folded her arms and sulked.

While the two were chatting, they unknowingly walked into the back alley where they had become friends.

Jiang Yi looked at the 'Pig Head Pendant' on Zuo Lingquan's waist, her eyes changed slightly, she took out the green bamboo pendant engraved with the scene of being beaten from her collar, fumbled in her hand, but said nothing.

Zuo Lingquan understood Jiang Yi's temperament and saw that she was jealous, so he said softly:

"Don't be jealous, it's just a bracelet..."

"What do you mean it's just a bracelet? That's what my mother gave me. I've never met my eldest daughter-in-law, but I've got all her family heirlooms..."

"Oh, my mother is a very nice person. She knew that I married Her Highness the Princess, so how could she be partial and unprepared? I must have left a meeting gift for the Princess."

Jiang Yi paused in her steps, her eyes brightened slightly, and she felt that this was indeed the case.

But after thinking about it, she still felt it was unfair:

"What about aunt? I have taken care of you for so long and helped you practice behind my back... Sigh... My aunt has more credit and hard work than Ling Ye, right? Why doesn't Ling Ye have her?"

Zuo Lingquan was not sure about this, because Qingwan didn't want to make it public, and he hadn't told his family about Qingwan's affairs yet.

But knowing a son is better than his mother.

Zuo Lingquan felt that given his mother's temperament as a person, seeing how he brought several girls back with him, he should be able to reflect the situation, and naturally he would not treat one favorably with another as a greeting gift.

It sounds a bit like gnawing at old age, but if you bring a bunch of daughters-in-law back during the Chinese New Year, your parents won't care about this little greeting gift.

Jiang Yi, Qingwan, Jingxun, and at most Lengzhu and Qiudao, there are only five pieces of jewelry. Mom should be able to get it...

Thinking of this, Zuo Lingquan smiled softly and comforted:

"Don't worry, you'll find out when you get back."

"Hmph~"

Jiang Yi was thinking about that jade bracelet. When she heard Zuo Lingquan say this, her uneasiness dissipated a little. Although her attitude was still cold, she still held Zuo Lingquan's hand after taking a few steps.

Fingers intertwined...

Thank you to [NingNingNing], the leader, for the reward!
