eye-catching

The next day, Zhang Jiyu opened his eyes dimly, only to realize that he had finally fallen asleep after a few nights, and now his head was still a little groggy, and he hadn't resolved the doubts from last night.

Before dawn, the red candles had been burned out, and a few gleams of light came in through the small window, hitting the ground, and reflected some patterns. Zhang Jiyu guessed that it was probably dawn.

Consciousness slowly turned, and Zhang Jiyao finally realized that it was not a dream——

He was still hugged by the person behind him.Lying in the same posture all night, his left hand was already numb, but he didn't dare to wake up the people around him, so he could only bear it and continue to regain consciousness.

Just lie quietly like this, after all, there will be no chance to be so close to him again.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiyao felt the familiar pressure on his chest again, and the bursts of dull pain made him awake and no longer confused.

The pleasant fragrance hits him, it is the smell he is most familiar with. He used to fall asleep with the company of this fragrance for so many nights, but he will not smell it anymore... Zhang Jiyu lingered, and most of all he didn't want to leave.

He suddenly wanted to turn around and hug him, but when his thoughts were about to drive his body, he thought about what was going to happen tonight, and suddenly tried his best to hold back, stood up, and gently moved his hand away.

The moment he touched his hand, Zhang Jiyao was in a daze, as if he was going to faint, but in a moment, he woke up, supported the edge of the bed, and got up.

He was still sleeping soundly, blue hair draped down his side face, long eyelashes cast shadows under his eyes, it was a rare beauty.Zhang Jiyao looked at it for a while, lowered his eyebrows, put on the fox fur, and went out quietly.

As soon as the door was closed, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes, and the sadness in his eyes could not be concealed.

Compared with the weddings in the Central Plains, the weddings here are not that complicated. On this day, just as the sun rose, a group of people suddenly came to the elders' courtyard. They all had festive smiles on their faces. Several people gathered together They talked and laughed happily, and then helped to decorate the wedding room and the courtyard. Afterwards, cooking smoke started to rise in the courtyard, and plates of delicacies were brought out and placed in the courtyard for people to eat. Fuyue had already followed her parents to pick them up. The bride is here, and the scene over there is even more festive. All the unmarried daughters in the village have come here to make trouble. Both sides were full of people seeing off, and they were still holding baskets filled with incense-processed flower petals. As soon as the sedan chair came, they scattered towards the front, feeling like a celestial maiden scattered flowers.

I don't know how many complicated customs went through in the middle. After kneeling three times, prostrating nine times and prostrating six times, it was almost dark, and finally both of them entered the bridal chamber.

Before the wedding ceremony, the groom had to uncover the bride's head cover. By this time, Fuyue had lost much interest in Ruomei.

For the woman in front of him, he has no affection for her between a man and a woman. It is just a marriage between elders. This marriage was not decided by him in the first place. It was all for the connection of power and reputation.

In the evening, the guests began to drink He Lang wine. At this time, the couple still had a lot of work to do, and they had to make noise until late at night before they could rest.

The people here were all overjoyed, and the whole village was enveloped in an atmosphere of joy. Until the next morning, no one noticed where a person who used to live with Fuyue went.

"It's time to go back tomorrow. I'm really busy."

He Tan looked at Zhang Jiyao in front of him, and said, "All the relatives and friends of the third elder have been invited to the wedding banquet, what's wrong with you coming to my place?"

Zhang Jiyu shrugged and smiled: "Today is his wedding day, I'm an outsider, so it's not good to join in the fun."

Besides, he didn't invite me.

Just a word, you can move out tomorrow, Zhang Jiyao will come out early, he doesn't want people to misunderstand.

He Tan looked very happy, poured wine for him, and continued: "From now on, we will be fellow travelers, come and drink!"

"drink!"

Zhang Jiyao raised the wine cupper and swallowed the bitterness together.

At noon, the bridal sedan passed through the streets and alleys, but did not pass the compound located in the east, but the sound of gongs and drums lingered for a long time, and even the unconscious soldiers stopped to listen to the joy.

At that time, Zhang Jiyu was helping in the courtyard, and when he heard this voice, he smiled comfortably.

Even if you don't see it with your own eyes, you are lucky to have witnessed it.

In this courtyard, only the house on the north side is inhabited, and He Tan usually lives there, but now that there is an extra Zhang Jiyao, it doesn't seem so deserted.

Outside, the soldiers were still working, coming and going, brightly lit.

In the house, the two of them didn't get drunk until late at night.

Today, for the sake of celebration, lanterns were hung at the entrance of each compound, and the elders' courtyard was even more noisy all night.

Gusu is a good place. At this time, Chang’an City is still snowing, and the willows in Gusu are starting to sprout. The green shoots are attached to the bare branches. They all started to come out to play, and children's frolicking can be seen everywhere.

The prince and his party were taken to the prefect's mansion in Gusu. After they settled down, the prefect took the prince out for a walk.

Lin Xie and Yuan Qi sighed as they watched the prince being abducted by the magistrate.

"Hey, your prince doesn't care about the disappearance case at all."

"Hey, my lord probably went to see the birds."

Lin Xie patted Yuan Qi's shoulder, and said: "Your prince looks quite weak, you should stew some pigeons and birds to make up for him."

The last time the prince fell from the rattan chair and couldn't get up for a long time, Lin Xie felt that something was wrong when he saw it. This prince must be too weak. Without Yuan Qi to help him, he couldn't get up.

"You're talking nonsense!" Yuan Qi slapped his hand away and said, "You're stupid! My prince is strong!"

Lin Xie's eyes widened, pointed at Yuan Qi, and said in disbelief: "How dare you touch me like this? Believe it or not, I'll tell the emperor!"

Yuan Qi looked disdainful: "You go, the emperor is so far away, I can tell my prince right away that you say he is false!"

"you!"

Lin Xie had nothing to say immediately. Needless to say, although he was a celebrity by the emperor's side, this Yuan Qi was also a celebrity by the prince's side. Besides...the emperor might not be able to scold the prince...

Thinking of this, Lin Xie immediately calmed down, and asked him with a smile: "What is your prince's favorite food?"

Yuan Qi imitated his prince, looked at him, and said: "Red bean barley porridge."

"Oh, what a coincidence, the emperor also likes red bean barley porridge the most!"

"That's right," Yuan Qi pouted, "Whatever the emperor likes, the prince likes."

"Does the emperor like the prince?"

As soon as Lin Xie said this, Yuan Qi immediately changed his face in fright, stretched his head to look around, covered his mouth again and again, and said nervously: "Servant Lin, you can't talk nonsense!"

Lin Xie was almost suffocated by him, nodded repeatedly, and said vaguely: "Don't say it, don't say it!"

Yuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, as if he finally felt relieved, and said seriously: "Servant Lin, you talk nonsense like that, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay with the emperor for a few years!"

Lin Xie clicked his tongue and said, "Didn't I just tell you that?"

Yuan Qi ignored him and rushed to cook porridge for the prince.

When the prince came back from a walk, Lin Xie was teasing the big gray dog ​​in the courtyard, with a sullen expression on his face.

"My lord, there's a letter from someone from Dali Temple."

Before the prince stepped into the mansion, the correspondent came in.

Lin Xie, who heard the voice, was immediately in high spirits, and hurried to the prince to read the letter.

Your Majesty, the stone-throwing murder case has some clues. Someone turned himself in. He stated that he saw someone crawling out of the well that night, and mistakenly thought he had seen a ghost, so he threw stones at him and killed him.

The letter ends with the emperor's handwriting:

Fuyi, what do you think?

As soon as the prince saw the last message from the emperor, his face immediately changed, he was so angry that he said he changed, and said angrily: "I am investigating the case so far away, and he wants me to go to the old case!"

Lin Xie said from the side: "Why did this person turn himself in now?"

"It's not that those people in Dali Temple are useless! They didn't come to investigate until now!"

The prince was so angry that he crumpled the letter into a ball and stuffed it into his cuff.

Lin Xie said: "If I had surrendered at the beginning, I wouldn't have become an unknown corpse. It's been three years. I used to have clues. I probably don't remember them now."

"If it wasn't for the old emperor's birthday, it wouldn't have been put on hold for so many years."

The prince said lightly, as if he had forgotten the complaint he had made to the emperor just now, and said, "Don't make any noise, let alone being so close to the imperial palace, he is not in good health and cannot be stimulated."

Lin Xie did not ignore that the prince used "he" instead of "emperor", and said, "Then what does the prince think?"

The prince glared at him, ignored him, and shouted when he entered the mansion: "Yuan Qi! Is my king's red bean and barley porridge ready?"

Yuan Qi's loud voice came from inside: "My lord! Good!"

Lin Xie stood in place, looked at the smiling magistrate behind him, and smiled back: "Master Zhifu has worked hard!"

"It's not hard, it's not hard!"

The magistrate hurried back, did he know that this attendant Lin was a celebrity around the emperor, and he would not offend him.

Lin Xie took the opportunity to ask: "Did the prince say when to interrogate?"

A trace of thought flashed across the magistrate's face, and he said, "My lord, explain the trial."

"Tomorrow..."

Lin Xie followed the magistrate boredly, and also entered the mansion.
