Coming east from Qingzhou.
The men of the secret guard were supervising the work at the seaside. Since Xu Shu and Sima Yi returned, they had been renovating the fortress left by Liu Fan.
After nearly a month of renovation, it is now quite large.
If you like the seaside, you will probably like this fortress because you can see the sea when you wake up.
A few hundred meters down from the backyard of the fortress is a long coastline.
The sea in this era was unpolluted, and unless it was a river estuary, turbid waves were almost invisible.
The Laoshan sea area will be a famous tourist attraction even in later generations, let alone this era.
In the east garden of the fortress, the first and second sisters of Bai Chu were sitting under the porch, roasting hot potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Although spring has arrived and spring plowing has begun in various places, Qingzhou has a higher latitude and the temperature is still a bit low at this time.
Shuangxi held the sweet and creamy potatoes in his hands and couldn't stop eating while exhaling.
Bai Chuyi looked up at the white clouds on the horizon. The blue skyline connected with the sea level, and the scenery was very pleasant.
"Sister Bai, sister Shuangxi!"
Outside the courtyard wall, a few little carrot heads suddenly popped out. They saw the two of them roasting potatoes and sweet potatoes, their eyes full of desire and expectation.
Bai Chuyi's indifferent expression finally relaxed a little, and with a faint smile on his lips, he said, "Come in through the back door."
Several little carrot heads looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Not long after, the back door of Dongyuan opened, and the secret guards came in with a few little carrot heads, and saluted Bai Chuyi with a fist in his hand.
"Excuse me, Captain Ding." Bai Chuyi responded with a salute.
The secret guard did not dare to accept the courtesy, so he hid sideways, resigned and left.
After the secret guards left, a few little carrot heads curiously looked at the layout of the yard.
One of the little girls was surprised: "Sister Bai, is this your new home? It's so big! It's higher than the county wall."
Bai Chuyi looked towards the tower. There were two secret guards on top responsible for security, but they were not specially monitoring her.
Despite this, Bai Chuyi still felt a little uncomfortable.
He distributed the potatoes and sweet potatoes baked on the briquette stove to several radish heads and listened to them discuss what was happening in the village.
"Sister Shuangxi, don't you want to eat octopuses? My dad and the others caught a lot of them and sent them to you, but you couldn't be found anywhere. If it weren't for the recruitment of workers here, we wouldn't have known that you and Sister Bai had moved here. ."
"Recruiting?" Shuangxi looked at Bai Chuyi.
Bai Chuyi asked curiously: "Have everyone in the village come to work as part-time workers?"
The little carrot head smiled and nodded repeatedly, and said: "Yes, my father and sister are here. My father is responsible for logging, and sister cooks. She gives me a lot of money a day. She also said that she wants to buy new cloth. Give it to me. Make new clothes!”
Bai Chuyi smiled slightly, feeling very pleased and satisfied with the secret guard's actions. From this point of view, Brother Zheng is still such a kind person. After all, what goes up and what follows leads to imitation. If the lord is cruel, the people below will not be much better, right? .
"Excuse me, ma'am."
"It's Captain Ding, is there something wrong?"
The secret guard stood in front of the door and bowed respectfully to Bai Chuyi, saying: "Madam, I just received the news that Lord Wei will arrive in an hour. Madam, do you want to make preparations? I will ask the women in the village to Hot soup and brand new clothes are prepared.”
Bai Chuyi's expression changed and he looked at Shuangxi beside him.
Shuangxi stuffed potatoes in his mouth and said in a straight voice: "Senior sister, let's not run away."
Bai Chuyi blushed and glanced sideways at Shuangxi, and said softly: "Who said you were going to run away? I asked you to accompany me to bathe and change clothes."
···
"Sir, the scenery here is not bad. The snow has melted now. If the mountains were covered with snow, it would be a different scene."
Xu Shu rode on horseback, smiling and acting as a tour guide with Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng also chose to ride a horse at this time. He was bored in the carriage along the way. Now that he had arrived at his destination, he simply changed to another route. Riding a horse could also make it easier to enjoy the scenery along the way.
At this time, the convoy happened to pass through the valley where Xu Shu, Sima Yi and others were stationed last time.
There is a stream flowing in the valley, and there is a flat grassland on both sides. Many animals are already out and about at this time of year.
When the convoy passed by, some animals drinking water by the stream not only did not run away, but stopped and watched curiously, like silly roe deer.
Wei Cheng and his party were not short of food and drink, but they did not take action against these unsuspecting animals.
However, Wei Cheng and others did not take action, but they did not want a silly rabbit to run out of the bushes and hit the wheel.
"Uh..." Hao Zhao, who was sitting on the carriage shaft, bent down to pick up the rabbit and said with a smile, "Extra meal tonight?"
Everyone laughed when they saw this. Wei Cheng looked at the rabbit and found that it was a little white rabbit. He was probably only one or two months old. It was quite cute. The key was that he didn't struggle and just nestled in Hao Zhao's arms. Look around.
"It's better not to add extra food. Such a small piece of meat is not enough to fill your teeth. Just let it go." Mother Wei Cheng said.
Hao Zhao didn't really want to eat the rabbit, but just for fun, he nodded and threw the rabbit away.
Unexpectedly, this little guy rolled around on the ground a few times, jumped back, and kept twitching his nose at the car.
Wei Cheng's expression changed, he got off his horse, got on the carriage, and said, "I'm afraid this little guy is hungry."
Wei Cheng took out a fresh cabbage from the carriage. This thing is easy to preserve. He placed it at the base of the carriage. After more than half a month, it is still very fresh and crisp.
Sure enough, as soon as the little rabbit smelled the fragrance, he immediately pounced on it.
Wei Cheng chuckled, looked at the familiar little white rabbit, and told Xu Shu, "Let's set off."
In the carriage, Wei Cheng looked at the little rabbit eating cabbage, and for no reason he thought of the fiancée he had never met before.
An hour later.
The convoy finally arrived at its destination.
From a distance, I saw more than twenty men standing guard outside the fortress. Behind them, there were some village warriors and women.
"Welcome to you, sir. Wish you all the best!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, I saw a middle-aged man taking the lead and kneeling down on one knee.
When the village heroes and women saw this, they imitated his example and bowed respectfully to Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng frowned slightly and looked at the secret guard.
The secret guards were also a little confused at this time, and they probably didn't expect this little Li Zheng to do something like this.
"Wei... Master, please forgive me, I was negligent and forgot to tell them to keep a low profile." Captain Ding explained with a wry smile.
When Wei Cheng heard this, he looked at the middle-aged man who took the lead in kneeling, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, let them all step back."
The secret guard responded, and before leaving, he said, "By the way, Madam has been waiting in Dongyuan for a long time."
"Madam?" Wei Cheng was stunned and nodded with an unnatural expression.
Xu Shu stepped forward, looked at the rabbit in Wei Cheng's arms, and said with a smile: "Master, should you go see Miss Bai first, or should you rest for a while?"
Wei Cheng touched the rabbit, looked at the blue sea and sky behind him, and said: "Since we have to meet sooner or later, let's go now."
···
Fort East Garden.
Bai Chuyi sat on the futon, looking expectantly at the light and shadow outside the door curtain.
Although she was avoiding Wei Cheng, she couldn't help but have expectations in her heart. You know, they were once so inseparable.
"Sister, are you really not going to wear a veil?" Shuangxi asked, holding a white gauze.
When Bai Chu heard this, he smiled and shook his head, saying: "There is no need to be like this with him, you don't understand."
Shuangxi said "Oh". She really didn't understand. She just heard from the women in the village that men and women should pay attention to some etiquette when they meet for the first time.
】
Button!
"Here it comes!" Hearing the knock on the door, Shuangxi hurriedly ran out.
Opening the door curtain, Shuangxi raised his head and saw a handsome young man in white clothes and a white cape.
"You are Double Happiness, right?" Wei Cheng greeted in a friendly voice.
Shuangxi was stunned for a moment, blushing, slightly pursed her lips, not daring to look directly at Wei Cheng, "Well, well, Shuangxi has met the young master."
It's not that Shuangxi has never seen good-looking men, but Wei Cheng's good looks are even better. At the very least, no man in this era has fair and delicate skin like Wei Cheng's. Not to mention men, even women are extremely rare.
And whiteness is human nature. Why so many women in later generations think white men are handsome is because of this.
One white thing can cover up all the ugliness.
What's more, Wei Cheng is really handsome.
Shuangxi wanted to give this man who had 'abandoned' his senior sister a slap in the face, but at this moment he didn't even have the courage to raise his head.
She felt like an ugly duckling in front of this young man.
Wei Cheng looked at the blushing girl, smiled indifferently, and then looked at the looming figure behind the door curtain.
"Cheng, brother Chen!" A trembling voice came from inside the house, as crisp as an oriole.
Wei Cheng's heart moved, he opened the door curtain, and his eyes met the gray child's hole.
Wei Cheng paused, and his mind couldn't help but think of Chiyo, the gray child girl in "Memoirs of a Geisha".
The two are so similar, no, the girl in front of her is more unique, giving people an aloof and aloof temperament.
"Brother Cheng..." Bai Chuyi looked at the familiar figure in front of him, his voice trembled and his heart felt sour.
After the Bai clan was exterminated, she lost her memory and forgot everything she had with Wei Cheng. Just when she thought she was alone, her memory suddenly came back, and she realized that she had another person in this world. Relatives.
Although they were not married, the two were engaged. Bai Chuyi recognized Wei Cheng as his husband, otherwise he would not have left sadly after hearing that Wei Cheng married Cai Yan.
It's just that fate is a strange thing. You can't hide it for a lifetime. The two are destined to meet again.
Bai Chuyi had a vague hunch when he saw Liu Fan and Mo Niang appearing in Donglai that day.
Seeing Wei Cheng standing in front of him, Bai Chuyi could no longer hide his thoughts, so he stood up and rushed towards her.
Wei Cheng wanted to hide, but for some reason, when he saw Bai Chuyi's tears, he stood there uncontrollably.
Outside the house, Xu Shu and Shuang Xi looked at each other, closed the door in tacit agreement, and quietly retreated.
···
"Brother Cheng, I miss you so much." Bai Chuyi pressed against Wei Cheng's chest, listening to his lover's heartbeat.
Wei Cheng was a little embarrassed. He had no memory of his previous life and had no impression of this cute girl with gray eyes.
Judging from the current situation, the previous life must be related to this girl, and they were engaged to each other. I'm afraid it's true.
My claws are numb now. Do I need another concubine?
Just when Wei Cheng was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt a strange movement in his arms.
Not only Wei Cheng, but Bai Chuyi also noticed it. He looked down with a blushing face and saw a fluffy little white rabbit sticking its head out of Wei Cheng's arms, looking at him curiously.
Bai Chuyi was startled at first, then he picked up the little white rabbit overjoyed, looked at Wei Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng, it turns out you still remember it!"
Wei Cheng: "?"
Bai Chuyi blushed and hugged the little white rabbit into his arms. The scene of two children playing house with a rabbit appeared in his mind.
The little boy is Wei Cheng, and the little girl is the young Bai Chuyi. As for the rabbit, it is the prey that Wei Cheng begged his second uncle to give to him.
Bai Chuyi was very touched. After so many years, Brother Cheng still remembered the agreement that day. He had not forgotten me!
Wei Cheng: "..."
White Rabbit:"???"
"Brother Cheng?" Bai Chuyi raised his head and looked at Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and said, "As long as you like it."
Well, you can't just say that you don't know anything or remember anything, can you pretend to have amnesia? That's too fake.
And facing a girl who was crying so hard but was still so cute, Wei Cheng really couldn't bear to be cruel.
Bai Chuyi broke down in tears and smiled, holding the little white rabbit and spinning around a few times, "I like it, I like it very much. As long as it's a gift from Brother Cheng, I like it!"
If Double Happiness was still there, his jaw would definitely be shocked by the sight of Bai Chuyi in front of him... It turns out that senior sister smiles so beautifully!
Wei Cheng also looked at Bai Chuyi's smile in astonishment. Those unique gray eyes seemed to be filled with stars. The girl's laughter was like the breeze in summer, and the warm sun in winter was healing and warm. of.
After recalling the past events mentioned by his second uncle Wei Min, Wei Cheng said, "You must have suffered a lot in these years."
Hearing Wei Cheng's voice, Bai Chuyi's delicate body trembled, and he stood there lonely holding the little white rabbit, two lines of clear tears falling down his cheeks.
Seeing this, Wei Cheng took a deep breath and said, "It's all over. It will get better in the future. Yes, I will be with you."
Bai Chuyi pursed his lips tightly and looked up at Wei Cheng. His gray eyes were full of mist, and he looked at Wei Cheng infatuatedly, full of affection.
Facing these unique eyes, Wei Cheng was really helpless and felt pity in her heart for no reason.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Cheng stepped forward, took Bai Chuyi's hand, and said, "Come back to Luoyang with me, okay?"
Bai Chuyi looked at Wei Cheng infatuatedly, nodded without any hesitation, leaned on Wei Cheng's shoulder, and responded firmly: "Well, I will go wherever brother Cheng is."
Wei Cheng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled as gently as possible, but his heart was filled with confusion. This girl is in so deep. This is the rhythm of unconditional belief in herself.
However, let alone, this feeling of being trusted unconditionally is quite good.
