Zhou Ning got up when he heard the sound and came out to greet him.
Yang Xuan entered the backyard.
"Yeah!" Zhou Ning looked at him and suddenly covered his mouth and snickered.
"What's going on?" Yang Xuan touched his face.
"It's dark!" Zhou Ning said distressedly: "Don't be in such a hurry."
"I'm not in a hurry." Yang Xuan said firmly, "I'm just afraid that I'll be late and the weather will be cold."
"Hurry up and take a shower!"
"Wait a minute!"
Yang Xuan waved his hand, and Huahong and others left.
"You...Zitai!" Zhou Ning blushed.
"Have you ever been scared by an assassin?" Yang Xuan asked.
ah!
Not that one?
Zhou Ning's face turned redder and redder, "No."
"That's good."
Yang Xuan turned around, walked to the door, turned back, and asked: "Aning, what did you think I was going to do just now?"
Zhou Ning looked around and said to him, "Zitai, let Huahong and Yanxiao serve you!"
"Say it again!"
Yang Xuan went to the bathroom.
The whole person was soaked in the warm water, and the fatigue from the journey gradually dissipated.
At some point, Yang Xuan woke up suddenly.
There is a pair of hands on the shoulders kneading.
"Who?" he said, his voice a little hoarse.
"It's a slave!"
"Bonus!"
"yes."
Huahong gently kneaded his shoulders and said, "I have learned to pinch."
"good."
Yang Xuan leaned against the wall of the barrel, closed his eyes, and asked casually: "Have you ever been depressed while I've been away?"
"Never."
"That's good."
After learning that Zhou Ning was pregnant, Yang Xuan gained a lot of relevant knowledge. What about postpartum depression or pregnancy depression?
"It's not easy for women!" he said sincerely.
"It's not easy for the husband either." Huahong said sincerely.
"What's wrong with me?" Yang Xuan smiled.
Huahong kneaded and said: "Lang Jun almost started from scratch in Northern Xinjiang, and now he can take charge of Chenzhou. This journey has not been easy!
I have asked, and people outside say that Lang Jun is the number one person in Northern Xinjiang in recent years! I pretended not to care after hearing this, but I was quite happy in my heart."
"What the first person!" Yang Xuan felt a little happy.
"That's the first person!" Huahong kept talking about Yang Xuan's achievements over the years. At the end, "... I also know some maids from officials' families outside. When I mention Lang Jun, those women are all two The eyes are shining!"
"You're talking like a wolf!" Yang Xuan laughed.
"Isn't that true?" Huahong said seriously: "Langjun doesn't know, he is like a wolf. If Langjun really stays with them, I am worried that Langjun will be eaten alive by them."
Yang Xuan felt that it was almost done, and thinking that he had to go see King Wei, he stood up suddenly.
He went into the mountains to hunt when he was ten years old, and he has practiced training in recent years. He has a well-proportioned body, and his streamlined muscles do not look rigid.
"ah!"
Huahong's face suddenly turned red, but she still remembered the procedure and came over with a cloth towel.
"Mr. Lang!"
The voice was trembling like...
"I'll do it myself!"
Yang Xuan took the cloth towel.
"Slave...slave, come on!"
Huahong said.
"No need."
Yang Xuan is used to wiping himself.
He got out of the tub, Hua Hong gave him some clothes, lowered his eyes, and tried his best not to look at his body.
But the more I think about it, the more I can't help it.
When waiting to go out, the autumn wind blew, and Huahong couldn't help but shiver.
Yan Xiao and others were about to go in and clean up. When he saw this, he asked, "It's not cold! Why are you shivering?"
The maid who followed took a look at Huahong's crimson face and said ambiguously: "Women often tremble."
Yan Xiao asked: "When?"
"Stop talking!" Huahong took a deep breath, but couldn't help but think about Lang Jun's body in her mind.
Yang Xuan went next door.
King Wei was squatting to eat.
In his hand was a large bowl full of buns, covered with a layer of mutton slices.
"Coming?" King Wei was still squatting.
"Hey! What are you... Last time I remembered that I squatted down to eat, and you called me something... embarrassing."
"My legs have been bad lately, so I feel comfortable squatting."
"Really?" Yang Xuan was a little envious, "It's a pity that I can't do it now."
The couple was eating together, Zhou Ning was sitting on his knees with an elegant posture, and opposite Yang Xuan was squatting, like a giant monkey.
Think about it, the picture is so beautiful.
"How is Chang'an?" King Wei asked as he ate heartily.
"The prince is having a hard time. I went to see him, and he seemed quite open-minded and knew that he was still a target. It is said that the imperial concubine cannot have children."
"So, the King of Yue will be even more proud."
"He is the legitimate son. Unless the queen is deposed, unless he makes a mistake, the position of prince will be his." Yang Xuan knew this was inevitable.
"Um!"
King Wei finished eating in a few moments, put the bowl aside and continued to squat.
"The prince is a tolerant person, but the fact that he was able to ambush Aye shows his decisiveness. By the way, no one in Chang'an suggested deposing the prince?"
King Wei always thought this was really interesting, "You have already assassinated the emperor, and yet you can still serve as the crown prince. Aye is in short supply of targets and is shameless."
"That's really what I mean." Logically speaking, after the prince assassinated the emperor, the emperor should depose the prince. Then he would either throw the deposed prince into confinement somewhere for a few years, and then find an opportunity to execute him. Or directly execute him.
There is no third way!
Anyone with insight knows that the emperor is short of targets.
"Before I came back from Chang'an, someone was impeaching me."
"Yang Songcheng's people!"
"Mostly."
"They ran out of patience."
"Prince, get out, King Yue enters the East Palace!" Yang Xuan looked at him, "You are in danger."
"Do you think it's a good thing to enter the East Palace?" King Wei burped vulgarly, "Aye is quite old, but he is not sick or in trouble. Once the King of Yue enters the East Palace, suspicion will follow him like a shadow.
With Aye's method of forcing the prince, what do you think will happen if the King of Yue enters the East Palace?"
"Being on tenterhooks, walking on thin ice."
"As the saying goes, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and it refers to ministers. But the risks of ministers are far less than that of the prince. The prince is the true companion of the emperor, like a tiger."
"But His Majesty is getting old after all, and he has to consider his successor."
King Wei smiled and said, "Aye, you are not an ordinary person!"
"What's the meaning?"
In terms of understanding of the false emperor, the brothers of King Wei should be the strongest.
"Even at the moment of death, he will still be jealous. You have to know that power is his destiny!"
"I understand." The eldest nephew's words gave Yang Xuan a deeper understanding of the pseudo-emperor. He stood up and said, "By the way, we are having barbecue at home tonight, and I will open a few jars of good wine, let's go together!"
"I want mutton chops."
“Bake it yourself!”
"Let the ootah bake."
Yang Xuan wandered back home.
That night, Yang Xuan made a charcoal fire in the backyard and drank drunkenly with King Wei.
"I'm not drunk!"
Huahong and Yanxiao supported him.
"Lang Jun, people who drink will never get drunk." Huahong said.
"That's right! Only a drunk person would say I'm not drunk."
The two maids talked and successfully made Yang Xuan admit that he was drunk.
…
The next morning, King Wei changed his clothes and went to the blacksmith shop as before.
"Li Er is here!"
"Coming."
"Li Er, my scissors are a bit dull. Can you help me sharpen them later?"
"Okay, send it back and I'll help you grind it."
Before arriving at the blacksmith's shop, King Wei took out the key to open the door, took off the door panels piece by piece, and piled them aside.
"Li Er, you are here."
Sister Huang came out yawning.
"Coming."
King Wei skillfully lit a fire and inspected the items to be built today.
Clang clang clang!
A familiar voice came from the blacksmith shop again.
"Hey! After I left, I felt uncomfortable every morning when I couldn't hear the sound of forging. Now it's just the right time!"
An old neighbor came in.
"Where is the prince walking?" King Wei asked.
"No, I have nothing to do with my children at home, so I just go out and wander around when I have nothing to do."
"This child's future is just as good as the old man's blessing!"
"Yes! The more successful the child is, the happier I will be. In the future, I will be able to hold my head high when I see my ancestors underground."
The prince was quite proud, "Hey! By the way, the eldest sister is a good girl, the beauty of our alley. Li Er, you found it! Why, when are you going to marry the eldest sister? We can also give gifts."
"Your Majesty!" Huang Damei's face was a little red, but she couldn't help but steal a glance at King Wei.
King Wei stopped and thought for a moment, "I want to marry you."
The prince was happy when he heard this, "Don't you have to prepare all the necessary etiquette? And, Li Er."
"Why!"
"Lao Huang is my eldest sister and a daughter, and this Huang's blacksmith shop is her dowry. I think you are doing quite well here, how about you settle down here?"
When the prince saw that King Wei was silent, he tried to say: "It's not shameful to have a son-in-law. We don't talk about having a son-in-law. It's just a business to make money. Otherwise, this blacksmith shop is such a good business that it can't be lost like this. Don't you think so?"
?”
King Wei said: "I will go back and prepare for this matter."
"Where are the elders?" The prince blew his beard and glared, "Your elders should take the lead in such matters. Although my eldest sister has no elders, the neighbors are still here!"
"Yes! We are all here!"
At some point, a group of old people, both men and women, gathered outside.
"My eldest sister is a good girl, Li Er, you can't lose her!"
"You have to have all the etiquette that comes with getting married!"
"Stop arguing!" The prince lowered his hand and said after it was quiet: "Old Huang has gone, but we are not here. We are the elders of the eldest sister, and this marriage is about to happen! We make the decision for the eldest sister."
"Yes, that's a good thing to say!"
"I watched my eldest sister grow up. When she was a child, she would sit and play by herself by the door of the blacksmith shop. She was so well-behaved! She would also bark when she saw people. When she grew up, she would help Lao Huang forge iron. Such a sensible little lady,
It’s just less interesting than the princess.”
"I think a princess is noble."
"Okay, okay!" When the prince saw that the topic had strayed, he stopped again.
Then asked: "Li Er, what kind of charter are you?"
Everyone looked at him in silence.
Sister Huang blushed with embarrassment, thinking that no wonder these neighbors kept coming to ask about herself and Li Er a while ago. It turned out that it was just for today!
The two had been getting along for a long time, working together and eating together every day. Li Er made iron while Huang Dame cooked and tidied the house. Except that they did not sleep in the same bed, they were no different from other couples.
She had been waiting for Li Er to speak, but after waiting for a long time, this man turned out to be as stubborn as a lump of iron, incomprehensible to amorous feelings.
Now that these neighbors have uncovered the matter, Huang Damei also wants to know Li Er's thoughts.
King Wei said: "My mother-in-law has gone far away. Before she left, she said that if you meet a good woman, don't wait any longer, get married as soon as possible, and look for an opportunity to go back and see her again."
"How far?" someone asked curiously.
"In Guanzhong."
"It's a bit far."
"Then, how about waiting?"
"Wait a minute!" the prince said: "You are still afraid of being deceived by a person who is alive? Wait a minute, people have changed their minds. I make the decision, get married!"
Everyone was stunned.
Then they all cheered.
"Okay, get married!"
Sister Huang covered her face and ran in.
A woman shouted: "Sister, this Li Er can blacksmith and can read. Didn't you say last time that the plaque was written by him? Such a good man who can be both tough and soft needs to hurry up!"
Sister Huang said in the back room: "He doesn't know much about literacy either."
"Huang's Blacksmith Shop, look, there are five words!"
"The yellow character of the Huang family is written as the emperor's emperor."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
There was a burst of laughter outside.
…
Yue Er was very high-spirited a while ago and led a group of Taiping immigrants to catch a lot of informants. He even found Yuan Qing with his people.
Afterwards, Cao Ying met with him and rewarded him 5,000 yuan on behalf of Boss Yang, who had not returned.
"I don't care whether you have money or not. I just care about what your commander said."
Yue Er was guarding the stall, and a group of Taiping immigrants squatted beside him. He said proudly: "The envoy returned from Chang'an and met me the next day and said..."
He tried hard to imitate Yang Xuan's appearance and tone at that time, "There is nothing wrong with this craft. If the people who use it have a righteous heart, then this craft is a good craft. You, Yue Er, used to cheat and abduct you because your heart was crooked. Now you use deception on
If you are on the right path, this is good craftsmanship! Work hard and I will like you!"
Everyone burst out laughing.
Someone tilted their head and said, "Hey! King Wei is here!"
Everyone stood up, saluted, and then left.
"Your Majesty, would you like some tea? I only have crude tea here, but I can drink it vigorously in this weather and it's not too hot. Have a few big sips before going to bed at night, hey! Not to mention how comfortable it is!"
Those people always say that they can’t drink tea before going to bed because they can’t fall asleep, but I fell asleep after drinking it..."
Yue Er brought a cup of tea to King Wei.
He talked a lot, just to test King Wei's intentions.
King Wei did not drink and said:
"I heard that you can get a fake household registration here?"
…
On the third day, King Wei went to find Yang Xuan with his fake household registration.
"I have a friend."
Yang Xuan took over the household registration, "Li Er..." He looked up at King Wei, "This name is quite familiar."
"Just tell me that Li Er is getting married in the next few days."
Yang Xuan looked at him, "Why don't you come to me for household registration?"
For Yang Xuan to take action, the fake household registration must also be true.
"The household registration was done by the king, so the incident has nothing to do with you."
"When will you get married?"
"Five days later."
"Have you found everyone?"
"Who do you want? Just spend money to hire a few, and the guards at home will change their clothes."
"It's a bit crude, but don't worry!"
"Who says it isn't?"
Five days later.
King Wei successfully sent himself to the Huang family's blacksmith shop.
Then, a big banquet was held to entertain the neighbors.
King Wei drank until his glass was dry, and soon he was half drunk.
A guard comes in.
"A person from Chang'an."
King Wei went out quietly.
A familiar waiter was waiting for him.
"Your Majesty ordered the king to return to Chang'an."
King Wei took a deep breath, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty misses the king."
No one would believe this!
King Wei turned around and looked inside.
"After today!"
It's night, the wedding room is lit with flowers and candles.
After rolling around several times, King Wei hugged Sister Huang and said, "I'm going to Chang'an tomorrow."
Sister Huang sat up suddenly, then covered her chest and stared, "Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"without."
"Then why are you getting married today and going to Chang'an tomorrow?"
"Something's wrong."
"Then let's go together!"
"But that's dangerous."
"We will die together!"
Under the candlelight, King Wei looked in a trance.
