The little sweetheart of the rough family

"Let's get married!"

Zhao Hou didn't realize it for a long time, his ears were buzzing, his heartbeat was beating like a drum, and he didn't remember to ask a question until after a while.

"really?"

"Why did you agree again?"

He suddenly wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he didn't know which one to ask, "Actually, you don't have to take care of me, I just..." Happiness came so suddenly,? He suddenly Twitching, "Actually, I can wait, I am today,? Today you will treat me as sick..."

Before the words fell, a touch of softness came over him, choking his words in his throat.

After the kiss was over, Cheng Yanping snuggled into the man's arms.

"Zhao Hou, you don't have to rush to agree,? I hope you will answer after listening to the next sentence."

Zhao Hou held his hand tightly.

"it is good!"

In the past, whenever I thought about the Dingguo Mansion, my heart would be twisted like a knife, and tears would fall down unconsciously. But on such a summer night, the insects kept singing, and the bright moonlight shone into the house.

He lay in the man's arms, feeling extraordinarily at ease.It doesn't seem so painful to talk about these painful past events,?.

"There are quite a few people with the surname Cheng in the capital. If we talk about it in the early years, the most honorable surname in the capital is the Dingguo Palace. Serving the country can be described as devoting oneself to death, but in Linlin's end, he ended up with an unsatisfactory end."

The man's voice was soft and soft, as if a breeze was blowing in his ears, Zhao Hou hugged his arm and exerted strength.

Sensing the strength from Zhao Hou's arm, Cheng Yanping sniffed, and continued: "The current Duke Ding is the only son of the old Duke Ding, and the old Duke Ding and his wife are very affectionate. He has never taken concubines in his life, and there is no connecting room. They have a son and a daughter. Although the current Duke Dingguo has no great talent, he is upright and cautious. Later, he married Princess Chaowu, the youngest daughter of the first emperor. He Ming gave birth to two more sons. The eldest son Cheng Dingyan and the second son Cheng Yanping. The second son was weak and sick since he was a child, and the whole family loved him a lot. He grew up to 20 years old and never suffered from human suffering."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yanping smiled wryly.

Zhao Hou was so distressed that he lowered his head and kissed the top of his hair.

Cheng Yanping continued: "Last year and today, Dingguo's mansion was colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty and intended to rebel. Such an unwarranted charge would have cleared Dingguo's mansion from the court and removed it from the capital. , if my father and uncle hadn't voluntarily subdued the law, the lineage of the Cheng family would have disappeared in the world. After a few years, no one would know about the Cheng family of Dingguo Duke's Mansion, and only the stigma of the rebellious Cheng family was recorded in the historical records. .”

I thought the tears had already been shed, but when it came to this point, the tears still couldn't stop flowing down.

Zhao Hou didn't know how to comfort him, the pain of losing a loved one was not enough to express in words, all he could do was hug the person in his arms tightly and melt him into his body.

Cheng Yanping burst into tears and looked up at him.

"Zhao Hou, do you want me like this?"

In the darkness, the man's eyes glistened with water, Zhao Hou kissed his eyes, and answered firmly without hesitation.

"want!"

Why not?Only a fool would let such a good-looking, kind-hearted and knowledgeable Fu Lang not want it.

Cheng Yanping reached out and hooked the man's neck, and kissed him proactively.

He was very fortunate that Emperor Yuanguang had left him in the capital back then. If he had been forced to die at that time, Emperor Yuanguang might not have changed his mind and let him go to Lingnan with his mother and clansmen.

During those days alone in Beijing, he washed his face with tears all day long, and gradually lost weight until he became bedridden. When Emperor Yuan Guang came to see him, he frowned.

"Zhongqing, what do you want Gu to do with you? Gu has already forgiven your Cheng family, so what do you want Gu to do?"

Cheng Yanping, courtesy name Zhongqing.

This is the word given to him by his grandfather when he got the crown.

Even in the scorching summer, Cheng Yanping still felt chills all over his body. He curled up in Zhao Hou's arms, "I have another name, Zhongqing, Cheng Zhongqing."

Zhao Hou recited it silently several times, but it always felt unfamiliar and awkward.

"I'd better call you Yanping." After speaking, I felt that the mayor seemed to call you that, so I gave up and thought for a while and said, "Then I will call you Yanyan from now on."

Banquet.

The overlapping words are extraordinarily intimate.

Cheng Yanping nodded, and said again: "Then you can only shout at home."

"Why?"

Zhao Hou asked curiously.

Cheng Yanping shyly said: "Looking back, I will be a teacher. If the students hear my name, it will be even more difficult for them to discipline me as a teacher without any dignity."

Zhao Hou sternly said: "They dare!"

Looking at the posture, if the student misbehaved, Zhao Hou would go and beat him up.

Cheng Yanping said softly: "Husband, I only have this one condition, do you agree to it or not?"

Zhao Hou has always had no way to deal with him, after hearing this Husband, he was about to become immortal on the spot, he couldn't think of anything else, so he nodded in response.

With such an interruption, the sorrow and grief were washed away a lot.

Zhao Hou said again: "Then do you have any other relatives?"

"Mother, elder brother and other clansmen have all gone to Lingnan." Cheng Yanping's voice dropped again.

Zhao Hou said: "It is a big event for us to get married, logically speaking our mother and brother should be allowed to attend our wedding."

Cheng Yanping laughed.

This person is really thick-skinned, why did he become our mother and brother?

Even though I thought so, my heart was sweet, "I asked the mayor, he said that there will be a caravan going to the south in winter, and it will be the same when I write a letter of trust and they will take it with me. My mother and brother have always loved me the most. , they won't mind."

Zhao Hou also followed suit.

"Is Yan Yan so impatient to marry me?"

He turned over and pressed the person under him, and rubbed the tip of his nose against Cheng Yanping's.

Cheng Yanping's face was hot with embarrassment, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will..." He thought about the threat for a long time, but he didn't realize that what he wanted to say was that I would ignore you, but I also felt that I would definitely not be able to resist talking to Zhao Hou, and I wanted to change it to "I won't marry you."But if such a good Zhao Hou doesn't marry, someone will snatch him away, what should he do?

With the scorching breath on his neck, Cheng Yan slowly closed his eyes.

But after waiting for a long time without any movement, he opened his eyes and met Zhao Hou's playful eyes.

Zhao Hou pecked lightly on his lips, turned over and lay down.

"After listening to your story, listen to mine too, and then tell me if you want to marry me."

Cheng Yanping didn't wait for him to speak, and said first: "Yes, I am willing to do anything."

Zhao Hou stretched out his long arms and pulled him into his arms.

Where to start?

"Once upon a time there was a little boy who had been begging for a living as long as he could remember. He ate leftovers and rotten vegetables, drank river water, slept under broken temple bridges, and was raised by nature. Later, as he grew older, once Someone came to the town to recruit soldiers, he was as thin as a bamboo pole at the time, falsely reported that he was three years old, and sneaked into the army camp."

"He naively thought that he would live a life without worrying about food and clothing in the future, but he didn't know that the people in the barracks were too bad, they always bullied him, sprinkled water in his quilt in winter, robbed him of copper coins, and threw the dirtiest The most tiring work is thrown to him."

"But the little boy held back because he had had enough of begging, so he gritted his teeth and stayed in the barracks. He remembered that when he went to the battlefield for the first time, he was so scared that he wet his pants."

Speaking of this, Zhao Hou smiled, "Do you think he is useless?"

Cheng Yanping shook his head, "I remember watching the cook kill a chicken once. I was so scared that I had nightmares for several days."

Zhao Hou's eyes were bright even in the dark night, he looked at the ceiling and fell into deep thought.

"Slowly the boy got used to it. Later, he made meritorious service and became a centurion and then a thousand commander. Later, he led an army, and he was enough to make the enemy fearful on the battlefield. But... .”

Cheng Yanping listened fascinated. When he met Zhao Hou, he felt that he was not an ordinary hunter, because he had an aura of iron and blood on his body, which must be seen by people who have seen blood.

He had only seen this kind of aura from General Zhen Guo.

So he guessed that Zhao Hou must have stayed in the military camp before, and Zhao Hou had so many scars on his body, which hunter could have so many scars on his body?Moreover, he could still distinguish the scars caused by sharp claws from the wounds of swords.

"Why didn't you speak?"

Zhao Hou asked.

Cheng Yan put his hands on the man's thin waist. There was a long old scar on the man's back, and he stroked it gently with his fingertips.

"When we get married in the future, you will have a family and relatives."

It was just an ordinary sentence, but Zhao Hou's nose was sore.

He squeezed his arms tightly and hugged him tightly.

"I will treat you well in the future, and take my life to treat you well."

Cheng Yanping smiled and said: "What do I want your life to do, you want to live, live well, you know?"

Zhao Hou nodded.

"I was wandering and lonely since I was a child. The only handwriting I could write was my name. Although I had experienced the warmth and coldness of the world early on, I never thought that it would be my own people who would attack me."

He closed his eyes, as if returning to that day.

The scouts reported a few days ago that there was a change in the army in Mobei. Zhao Hou didn't suspect him at the time. He personally led [-] elite troops to ambush in Yingzui Rock. Yingzui Rock is shaped like an eagle's beak, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The news is indeed true, Mobei sent elite wolf cavalry.

When the battle between the two sides was at a stalemate, Zhao Hou saw the reinforcements coming, he raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, kill me!"

But he never dreamed that the so-called reinforcements were here to take his life.

Front and rear pinch.

All five thousand elite soldiers under him died in Yingzuiyan. In a panic, his deputy Sun Erde changed into his clothes and fled in the opposite direction. Before leaving, he grabbed Zhao Hou's hand and said, " General, my grandson, Ergou, will be by your side for the rest of my life. I have nothing to worry about, except that there is an old lady in my hometown, Longmen Town. If you have time, go and see her for me. Don’t tell him I’m dead. Just say I'm missing. And..."

The man's face suddenly turned red.

"And there is my daughter-in-law. Poor her, she hasn't lived a comfortable life for a few days since she followed me. You tell her not to wait, and find a good family to remarry."

Zhao Hou's voice choked up.

"At that time, I watched those brothers who followed me through life and death fell in front of my eyes one by one, but I couldn't do anything..."

Over the past two years, he tried his best not to touch the past, but when he dreamed back at midnight, he would still see gunpowder smoke all over the sky, and the strong smell of blood, and those familiar faces appeared in his dreams .

Cheng Yanping was at a loss for words, he stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Hou into his arms, and followed his back one by one.

"In the future, I will honor Grandma Sun together with you. We will take care of her until the end of her life, and we will raise flowers. Everything will be fine, right?"

will it be ok?

It will be fine!

When something happened at home, Cheng Yanping thought of dying countless times, but now that he has come all the way, he feels that it is good to be alive.If you really die, it's nothing more than relatives and enemies.

Many times dying is an easy thing, but living is the hardest.

Although he didn't understand the affairs in the military camp, he also knew that it must have something to do with Emperor Yuanguang. It seemed that he not only wanted to control the government, but he also wanted to take the army into his own hands.

He is that kind of person, since he was a child.

It was the first time Cheng Yanping saw Zhao Hou like this, he was buried in his neck, his body trembling slightly, he asked in a deep voice.

"Who is the general of the garrison in the frontier now?"

Zhao Hou's voice was hoarse.

"Zhou Yuanlang."

At the beginning, it was the soldiers he led who colluded with the Mobei people and beheaded his brothers to death.Even when he dies, he will never forget this person and his face.

Cheng Yanping sneered.

"It was him!"

The reason why the Seventh Prince was able to ascend the throne was because he married the daughter of the Zhou family in Runan as his concubine, and with the help of the Zhou family, he was able to ascend to the throne of God. Zhou Yuanlang came from the Zhou family in Runan.

Zhao Hou's mood has stabilized a bit.

"You know him?"

Cheng Yanping nodded, "Many acts of unrighteousness will lead to self-death. Only by living for a long time can we have the opportunity to avenge our relatives and comrades-in-arms. Only by living well can we be worthy of those who sacrificed."

Cheng Yanping is gentle most of the time, but now there is a gleam in his eyes.

Sometimes mighty and brave is a man's blood, and the invisible bamboo leaves can also kill people.

"Don't worry. One day you will avenge your brothers with your own hands!"

That night, the two talked a lot.

Cheng Yanping didn't fall into a deep sleep until the sky turned blue and black.

When he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, he seemed to hear Zhao Hou say, "You can go to teach at ease, and leave the wedding to me!"

......

The next day.

Zhao Hou got up early in the morning, although he didn't sleep much, he was full of energy.

As soon as the weather got hot, Cheng Yanping lost his appetite.No matter how delicious something was, he would stop eating it after just one or two bites, so he got up early and planned to make cold noodles for him.

When the noodles are cooked, take them out and put them in cold water to cool.

I also cut some shredded cucumbers, crushed peanuts, and sesame seeds, and poured hot oil on it, and the fragrance immediately overflowed.

Today is the first day for Cheng Yanping to go to school, and he was almost late when he didn't expect it. When he rushed out in a hurry, he was pulled back by Zhao Hou.

"You can go after breakfast!"

Cheng Yanping saw that his expression was firm, and the cold noodles were extraordinarily attractive, so he sat down at the table and muttered while eating: "I'm not married yet, so let me take care of you."

Zhao Hou sat down opposite him and pushed a wooden box to him.

"Here is the house deed and land deed, as well as the money I have saved in the past two years, all for you!"

Cheng Yanping was so busy eating noodles that he didn't even look at it.

"Oh!"

Zhao Hou was resentful, if Cheng Yanping would have been moved to kiss him in the past, but today there was no reaction, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It's not married yet, it's still early before the seven-year itch.

"When we get married, this family will be handed over to you."

Cheng Yanping paused and widened his eyes.

"Ah? You asked me to be a housekeeper? Are you not afraid that I will lose all your money?"

He had never done a housekeeping job before.

Zhao Hou smiled and said: "Don't be afraid. In the worst case, I will spend my sleepless nights trying to make money. Although it is not as good as your old life, I can't let my daughter-in-law eat chaff and vegetables with me."

Cheng Yanping happily locked the wooden box into the cabinet in the room.

Before going out, Zhao Hou handed him another cloth bag, "If you get thirsty in class later, eat some to moisten your throat, if the students are disobedient, tell me, and I will teach them for you."

He rambled on a lot.

Cheng Yanping's ears were callused by his nagging, and he complained: "Zhao Hou, you are even more talkative than my parents. When you grow old, you will definitely be a talkative little old man."

Zhao Hou stretched out his long arms and hooked him into his arms.

"Who am I for?"

Cheng Yanping smiled and kissed him on the lips, "I really have to go. If I, as a teacher, are late, how can I have the face to restrain the students in the future."

Zhao Hou reluctantly let go of him.

After watching his figure disappear around the corner, he went straight to the mayor's house.

The mayor was watering the flowers in the yard, and when he saw him, he sneered, "It's really a rare visitor, what kind of wind brought your big Buddha, Zhao Orion, here." Ping was drinking, but in the end the couple was two-on-one, and he drank too much of his old bones.

Right now, my ears are still hurting.

Zhao Hou cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Zhang, you can't blame me for what happened yesterday, you're too greedy to let go of the wine jar, there's nothing we can do about it, a banquet is said to be a guest, a host must be hospitable."

The mayor is not the kind of narrow-minded person, he just likes to stab Zhao Hou with a few words.

Banquet?

When did the two become so familiar?

As the saying goes, if you have nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, he looked at Zhao Hou vigilantly, "Say, why did you come to me, kid?"

Zhao Hou was silent.

"I want you to be the matchmaker between me and Yanyan. According to the customs in our town, two matchmakers are needed to get married. I think you are highly respected and have a good relationship with Yanyan in my family, so you are the most suitable matchmaker. .”

The mayor's beard was raised when he was coaxed.

In the past, I only thought that Zhao Liehu was a dull gourd, with a cold face all day long, and it was very pleasant to not want to talk.

"Then when are you planning to do it?"

Zhao Hou replied, "The sooner the better!"

The mayor paused, stroked his beard and said, "You young people, you don't have to worry about things. Getting married is a major event in life, and you can't be careless at all. Although there is no precedent for two men getting married in Longmen Town, but According to the custom, three media and six recruits are indispensable. It will take several months to prepare for all these things."

"Both Yanyan and I don't have any parents or elders by our side, so we will leave all the affairs to you to handle."

Zhao Hou saluted respectfully.

The mayor was very helpful, "Then who do you plan to hire as another matchmaker?"

Zhao Hou replied, "Grandma Sun."

The mayor nodded.

"That's okay. Since that's the case, I went to discuss it with Grandma Sun. How do you young people understand these procedures?"

The two went to Grandma Sun's house together again.

Grandma Sun shed tears when she heard that Zhao Hou was going to get married, she nodded her head and said, "Ever since I first saw the young man in your yard, I knew you were a match made in heaven. We will get married in a few days."

There are so many trivial matters in getting married, Zhao Hou felt his brain swell after hearing a few words, so he got up and left.

"I went to the mountains to set a few traps, caught some prey and came back, and the meat for the wedding banquet will be there."

The mayor was originally dissatisfied with his leaving halfway, but after hearing this, he felt that there was some truth in it, so he waved his hand and said: "Go." When there were only two people left in the room, he sighed: "Are you going to get married after all?" Now, people are more stable."

Grandma Sun responded, "Who says it's not."

......

When Cheng Yanping arrived at the school, all the students were already sitting neatly, much more than he imagined.

The age span of the students is relatively wide, ranging from five to sixteen to seventeen or eighteen years old. Cheng Yanping counted 37 students, several more than the ones registered.

The extra ones are big girls.

They all stood at the back of the school with blushing faces. Seeing Cheng Yanping's eyes sweeping over, they all lowered their heads again, and a bold trembling voice asked: "Mr. Cheng, we also want to come to school during the slack season. ,You can see it?"

Cheng Yanping smiled at them.

"Yes, of course. There is an old saying that there is no limit to learning. Anyone and any age can come here to study. It's just that there are not enough desks. I will entrust the mayor to buy more later. I will have to trouble you these few days." Stand and listen, or bring a pony from home yourself."

Cheng Yanping asked the students about their learning progress.

Some of them can already recognize a few characters, and can even recite part of the "Three Character Classic", but most of them don't even know a few characters.

Therefore, Cheng Yanping decided to start from scratch.

He took out the "square characters", and some simple words were written on these one-inch square papers. The fonts were in regular italics, which he had written and prepared early in the morning.

"Big", "Small", "Too"...

They are all easy-to-understand words. After explaining the meaning of these words to the students, let the students copy and practice on the books.The daily operation of the private school is based on the money collected by the people in the town. The mayor is in charge, and an announcement will be made every once in a while to announce the whereabouts of the money.

The books are all purchased by the mayor. After all, there are some children in the town who are a little better off and some are poorer. It is inevitable that some children have books and some do not. Therefore, the four treasures of the study are all provided by the school.

Although these learning tools are not expensive, they are treasures to children.

For a while, only the rustling sound of writing was heard in class, and Cheng Yanping followed the aisle to observe one by one, those who had learned calligraphy before could write more smoothly, and some could not even hold a brush and couldn't write.

Cheng Yanping was extraordinarily patient, holding their hands and teaching them personally, and also taught them some precautions.

Seeing the hardworking and studious appearance of the students, Cheng Yanping felt particularly fulfilled.When he was enlightened in the past, his father invited a gentleman from outside to teach him. He changed a lot of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, from the initial copying and tracing to the later small achievements.

I don't know how many cold and heat I have experienced, but I didn't feel the hard work at that time. I only thought that he was sick and couldn't go out to play, ride and shoot all day like my elder brother, so I could only focus on poetry and songs.

Unexpectedly, after many years, his trivial skills will come in handy.

The older girls in the back immediately blushed when they saw Cheng Yanping walking over.Although the rural areas are not as sophisticated as in the capital city, men and women are different after all, and most of these girls are aware of it. When they suddenly see a man like Cheng Yanping who has a dusty temperament and a beautiful face, he will naturally be confused. Hit, I don't know why.

Cheng Yanping didn't notice their strangeness, corrected their pen holding posture as usual, and told them to practice more when they went back.

Huahua was the youngest and also small in stature, so she sat in the front row.

After a while, he finished writing, raised his hand and shouted: "Brother Immortal..." After shouting, he stuck out his tongue again, "Sir, I finished writing, do you see how well I wrote?"

Cheng Yanping walked over and saw that the little girl's hands and nose were stained with ink, so she took out a handkerchief to help her wipe it off.

The little girl is very talented.

Although the writing is very large, and it is a little skewed horizontally and vertically, but at least there is a similar shape, and the characters are not separated.

"Huahua's writing is very good! If she studies hard, she will definitely be a top female scholar in the future."

Unexpectedly, such casual words and the act of letting girls go to school changed the atmosphere of Dayu even more after many years. At that time, the first female official appeared in the officialdom of Dayu, and she even became a minister.

Huahua got the compliment, and she was so happy, she picked up the pen and began to write seriously.

Cheng Yanping remembered again that since he was in school, he naturally couldn't be called by nicknames or nicknames anymore.

"Huahua, what's your real name?"

Huahua blinked her big eyes with a dazed look on her face.

"It's called Huahua."

Cheng Yanping reached out and pinched her face, "Then what's your last name?"

"I know this, my surname is Sun."

Hua Hua replied with a smile.

Cheng Yanping knew that women in the countryside were of low status, and most of them didn't have proper names. surname.

Either Luo Sanniang, or Xu Siniang, that's all.

It would be a pity to be the same as a human being without having a name of one's own until death.

"Then let me give you a name, Wantong. Sun Wantong..."

Although Huahua didn't quite understand, she still stood up and saluted.

"Thank you sir for your name."

With this example, all the female students in the school were ready to move, and someone stood up impatiently and said, "Sir, we don't have our own names, sir, please give us one."

The whole morning passed in the blink of an eye.

He hadn't said so many words for a long time. During the pause, he rested aside and opened the cloth bag Zhao Hou gave him.

Inside are some fresh melons and fruits.

Green cucumbers, red tomatoes, golden apricots, dark red plums, all washed.

Cheng Yanping took a bite of a plum, and the fruity fragrance was overflowing, sweet to the tip of his heart.

......

Zhao Hou was thinking about coming back to make lunch.

Hastily set up a few traps and rushed back. As soon as he got to the door, he saw the mayor coming out of his house. When he saw him from a distance, he waved and said, "I have discussed it with Grandma Sun. Let's do it." According to the rules of Longmen Town, the wedding date is set on June [-]."

"what?"

Zhao Hou exclaimed, "Today is already fifteen, is five days enough?"

The mayor shot him a sideways look.

"Who came to my house early in the morning and said that the sooner the better?"

Zhao Hou scratched his head and laughed twice.

"Listen to you, listen to you."

After speaking, he became inexplicably nervous, "Then...then what else should I prepare?"

It is rare for the mayor to see him do the same, he laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be afraid at times?"

Zhao Hou rubbed his hands.

"For the first time, no... no experience..."

The mayor said again: "I'll make a list later, you go to the county town, buy some things and come back, it's almost the same."

Hearing this, Zhao Hou was relieved, and said to the mayor's back, "Uncle Zhang, go slowly!"

The mayor was staggered by his enthusiasm.

When did Zhao Orion's mouth become so sweet?

I thought about this question all the way, and when I arrived at the door, I suddenly remembered that this is called the one who is close to vermilion, the one who is red and the one who is close to ink, and the one who is black, and the boring gourd is with Yanping every day. Can this little mouth not be sweet?

Cheng Yanping finished school and couldn't wait to go home.

The older girls on the road followed behind him pushing and shoving, and occasionally let out a few restrained laughter, and after a while, a girl staggered in front of him.

Cheng Yanping subconsciously reached out to help.

Before touching her, the girl stood firm by herself, blushing like a tomato, and said in a low voice: "Sir, can I go to your house in the afternoon to ask you some questions about calligraphy?"

Cheng Yanping nodded.

"can!"

When the girls got a little further away, he turned around and met Zhao Hou's black face.

Cheng Yanping walked over with some guilt and tugged at his sleeve.

"What's for lunch?"

Zhao Hou grabbed his wrist, hugged him into his arms, and said viciously: "Don't forget that you are also a family member, is it appropriate to attract bees and butterflies like this outside?"

Cheng Yanping's eyes were startled at first, and then bent into crescents.

"My husband is getting better and better now, and he can even say idioms like attracting bees and attracting butterflies. It's really amazing."

Zhao Hou looked at the narrow smile in his eyes, and deliberately pinched the soft flesh of his waist with his palm, causing Cheng Yanping to beg for mercy in a hurry.

"Husband, good husband, I don't dare anymore!"

Only then did Zhao Hou let go, and the two returned home together.As soon as Cheng Yanping opened the pot, seeing the cold pot and cold stove, he pretended to be angry and said: "I have been studying in the school for half a day, and the teaching is dry mouth, sore waist and weak legs. I can't even eat food when my mouth is so hot, I can't live through this day."

He really wanted to put down the lid of the pot, but seeing Zhao Hou standing by the door and staring at him, he put it down gently again.

"I light the fire, I light the fire."

Lunch is also simple, and all the vegetables in the vegetable garden have grown up.

When Zhao Hou came back from Xiaocang Mountain, he stopped by the vegetable field to pick some beans and eggplants.At noon, make fried eggplant with beans and steamed egg custard, which is enough for two people.

Puppies grow up quickly, but they grow bigger in just a few days.

He loved to cling to Cheng Yanping all day, and Cheng Yanping fed it with egg custard mixed with rice, and then sat back at the table.

"I went to the mayor early this morning to talk about our marriage. I didn't expect the mayor to do things quickly, but I discussed it with Grandma Sun in the morning. The wedding date is set on June [-]."

Zhao Hou ate his food, pretending to be relaxed, but he didn't look at Cheng Yanping's expression, for fear that he would say something like "too rushed" or "unwilling".

Cheng Yanping let out an "oh" and said nothing.

Zhao Hou said again: "Tomorrow I'm going to the county town to buy some things, you can give me some silver later, and if you want anything else, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."

Cheng Yanping couldn't tell what he was feeling at this moment.

Happy?nervous?Pity?

In short, the five flavors are mixed and complicated.

"I want to go with you."

Zhao Hou didn't object, he just said: "It's a long way to go to the county seat, you have to get up early tomorrow, and the road is a bit bumpy, can you bear it?"

Cheng Yanping puffed out his chest.

"I can walk here from the capital, so am I still afraid of these things?"

......

Just after Yinshi, Zhao Hou got up, he lit a candle, and seeing Cheng Yanping sleeping soundly, he couldn't bear to call him, so he didn't take him, but he was afraid that he would get angry when he turned around, so he stretched out his hand and pushed him.

"Banquet..."

The push is very light and the sound is very low.

Cheng Yanping was sleeping soundly, but was suddenly interrupted, full of impatience.

"Zhao Hou, you are so annoying, why don't you let me sleep..."

He muttered and turned over and went back to sleep.

Zhao Hou had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout.

After finally waking him up, Cheng Yanping stared at him angrily, "I'm so sleepy, you have to carry me out."

Zhao Hou dressed him as if resigned to his fate, coaxed him to wash up, and carried him into the ox cart.

The morning wind brings a slight coolness.

Cheng Yanping slept in a daze, and only knew to crawl into Zhao Hou's arms. The road was bumpy, and Zhao Hou had laid three layers of mattresses on the bullock cart, and now he was protecting him in his arms again.

Until noon, I finally arrived at the county seat.

The county seat is much more prosperous than Longmen Town.Zhao Hou took out the list written by the mayor, but he couldn't read, so he had to ask Cheng Yanping to read it to him.

Cheng Yanping is already sober now, holding a long list and reading.

"Two pieces of clothes, four quilts, six cakes, a pair of red flower candles..."

After reading, Zhao Hou secretly thought that there are quite a lot of things.

The two went to the cloth shop first, the business in the cloth shop was very good, there was a steady stream of customers coming in and out, Zhao Hou went into the shop first, probably because he was dressed simply, and no one greeted him after walking around.

After Cheng Yanping finished eating the Roujiamo in his hand, he also came in.

As soon as he entered the door, the waiter surrounded him enthusiastically.

"This guest officer looks at the face, it's the first time to come to our cloth shop, let me tell you that our family has the most complete and best products in the entire county, and they are all high-quality materials, even the high-ranking officials in the capital The nobles are using it."

As he spoke, he took out a bolt of snow-blue satin and handed it to Cheng Yanping, "If you don't believe me, touch the feel, let me tell you that our cloth shop has been in the county for more than ten years, and all we do is the business of regular customers. It’s a child without deceit.”

Cheng Yanping didn't need to touch it, just took a look, the material was considered good, but it was only average good, not as good as he said, and the color was also the style that was popular in Beijing a few years ago.

Zhao Hou walked over, "See if you are satisfied?"

Cheng Yanping only glanced at it, and pointed to the bright red silk on the shelf, "How much is this material? How much will it cost if it is made into a wedding dress?" After speaking, he added: "We are making two pieces."

The boss rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If you have two suits, plus the labor fee, at least it will cost you a tael of silver."

Hearing this, Cheng Yanping pulled Zhao Hou outside without saying a word.

The boss hurriedly stopped the person and explained: "Guest officer, what I said is the truth, you can see the quality of this material, and we are all embroiderers of our own family, so the embroiderers are guaranteed. "

"Boss, we sincerely want to buy it, but I see that you sincerely don't want to do this business. I know where this material comes from, and others can't see it."

Cheng Yanping gestured to look to the west.

The boss was shocked, he dared to meet an expert.The stuff did come in from the west.

"My lord, how much money do you think is suitable?"

Cheng Yanping stretched out his right hand and gestured.

The boss cried and said: "My son, how can you bargain like this? If this is cut in half, I have to sell it to you."

Cheng Yanping didn't speak, turned around and was about to leave.

The boss stood at the door and shouted, "Master, why don't you add more, 750 Wen."

Zhao Hou was completely stunned.
