An interesting ancient saying goes that after people make an appointment at dusk, the whole capital will fall into an unspeakable mood after the sun turns west.
Especially far away from the bustling markets, walking through the quiet streets, there are sometimes two or three jackdaws, and sometimes it is impossible to tell the difference between north, south, west and east.
Coming out of the palace, a young man and woman walked in tandem, with a colorful pheasant behind them.
The bamboo hat that Ye San Geng originally intended to conceal her identity was already in the hands of the palace maid Bishen. No matter how much Ye San Geng asked for it, she wouldn't give it to her and she just held it tightly in her hand.
There is no such thing as a so-called separation over a newlywed, with too much emotion revealed after the reunion. I can probably count the words these two people said along the way, and most of them were just an innocuous question in the middle of the night. It's nothing more than how he has been with his daughter-in-law who is five years older than him in the past three years.
Yue Baiji, who is usually very resolute at home or in the palace, behaved submissively throughout the whole process. It cannot be said that it is similar to the timidity of the hometown, and he does not know what to say after a long separation. It is more because he saved his own money three years ago. The trouble caused by the game.
He never blamed her from the beginning to the end of the night, but as a person who could not cover up the past, Yue Baizhi knew it and blamed himself.
What happened in the capital city three years ago not only directly caused Ye San Geng to be seriously injured, but also indirectly caused Ye Xiayou to cry blindly. The younger generation of the family is considered to be a leader, and her status as one of the top two should be valued most by Yue Baiji, who is destined to be a wife. On the contrary, she is the daughter-in-law of the Ye family, a status that must not be allowed and will never be ignored.
In the middle of the night, he was clear about it. From the perspective of a husband, he did not blame Yue Baiji at that time, and he did not even have the slightest trace of what the child bride who had decided to marry her did at that time. angry.
It's nothing more than the interest exchanges between several families involved. They help the manager but not the relatives. What's wrong with the couple standing on opposite sides?
Therefore, Ye San felt that a girl from a girl's family who had been a matchmaker with her since she was a child and was ordered by her parents to do such a thing was more of a dereliction of duty on her husband's side.
It’s nothing more than the eternal masculinity at work.
Therefore, after not seeing each other for three years, Yue Baizhi's guilt made her not know where to start, and his apology in the middle of the night made him not know how to speak.
Walking slowly from the imperial city to the capital, the sun slowly disappears behind the mountains in the distance. Under the cover of the tall city walls, not even half of the face can be seen, leaving only the red clouds covering the sky, reflecting everything in sight. It seems to be covered with a piece of red silk, and the rows of trees are shining and intersecting, as if time flies by and is around them.
He didn't ask Yue Baizhi, who was currently in a state of confusion, for her opinion. He had already taken her to Jing Gongxing in the middle of the night. The empty building was obviously expected in the middle of the night. There was someone in front of his second sister. He Qingshan wouldn't be worried, but thinking that some things had been hidden from his family for so long still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Walking aimlessly westward again, he broke the silence again in the middle of the night, turned around and asked, "Are you hungry?"
No less cumbersome than the rules in the capital, there are so many rules in that huge building. The shackles of the rules and regulations would really make people breathless if they hadn't lived here for a long time. Especially like curfews and city closures, you are not allowed to appear on the street after a certain time, and you are closed at a certain time. These are all prohibited regulations, and the regulations are different from one party to another, similar to Pingkangfang, or several times. A place for night entertainment, such as Qinglongdunhuaquchi Sanfang near Nagqu Pool. Due to the popularity of Suizhoujiang Tower, some derivative businesses such as bone stew and soup have been spawned, and it is not impossible to stay open all night.
Compared with the capital, the nominal military town in the capital is not very strict. The so-called curfew is just to close the city gates in all directions. It is imitated in the capital city, but it is obviously not as good as the 108th line. It is even more closed in the capital. No, let alone the streets and alleys?
Because of this, Jingbo Night Market is also famous far and wide.
As soon as it gets dark, all kinds of snacks, delicacies, and entertainment gadgets are put out on the streets one after another. There are them on the main street and in every nook and corner, which is also very lively.
Even if the little daughter's thoughts are causing trouble or she is nervous about meeting again after a long separation, even if she bows her head shyly and is reflected even more brightly by the sunset, she is still taller than Ye San. She just peeked at the man whom she had long since promised, and hummed as coyly as a mosquito.
Look not far away is the canal that leads the Wei River across the capital and the capital. There is a wonton stall by the river. There are two people, a man and a woman. The man is making noodles, and the woman is pressing the ingredients to make wontons. There is also a mutton soup stall opposite.
People in Guanzhong have been drinking mutton soup since ancient times, dating back more than a thousand years. Compared with the fragrant buns, the fishy mutton soup stimulates the taste buds in the middle of the night. It just suddenly occurred to me that my eldest daughter-in-law could not enjoy such a blessing due to her physical condition since she was a child. In the middle of the night, she suppressed her addiction to this delicious food that she had not tasted for three years and went to the bun stall.
I was very hungry at midnight, after all, I hadn't eaten anything seriously that day. After waiting for a while, the stall owner brought out a bowl of buns. It was not too hot even if it was divided into three or five. Hululu drank it quickly, and it didn't take long for it to reach the bottom.
Fufu is a unique dish in the northwest. The soft dough is cut into small pieces, boiled with some vegetable leaves, and stirred in a clear soup pot. It is delicious.
Yue Baizhi ordered a bowl of wontons, and bit into them in a regular manner. The skin was thin and the fillings were filling. The oil and juices dripped for a spoonful.
Seeing the stall owner greeting the two new customers, he shouted for another bowl of wontons at midnight. He unceremoniously took the bowl of wontons in front of Yue Baiji, which he had only eaten a few pieces, and continued to eat happily.
When it comes to eating, the siblings are quite unambiguous.
Very thoughtfully, he moved the bowls and chopsticks aside in front of him at midnight. Yue Baizhi held his chin in his hands and watched him wolfing down the food in silence.
Although it is good to have quiet time in the years, it is better to have the people you miss by your side.
It was getting dark very quickly, and lanterns were set up on both sides of the steamed bun stall.
Naturally, I could feel Yue Baizhi's gaze. In the middle of the night, I didn't even raise my head. I wiped my mouth with my sleeves and joked: "You've been looking at me all the way, but I'm actually quite shy."
The blushing Yue Baizhi hurriedly lowered his head to handle the wontons that had just been served. He accidentally burned them and took a few breaths of cool air, which was very gratifying.
In the middle of the night, he stretched out his hand to wipe the oil stains from the corners of Yue Baiji's mouth, and suddenly said without any trace: "Looking for my second sister, are you afraid?"
Obviously he didn't expect such an intimate gesture, let alone such a question. Yue Baizhi even forgot to chew and stared blankly at midnight.
No one would have thought that the first time the two of them would look at each other after meeting would happen at this time.
Ye San Geng added: "I know what you are thinking, and I know you also understand what all this means. You are a smart person, and you don't need me to say more, but you need to understand that next step, you will make a wrong move. , we have to travel together, so..."
Yue Baizhi, who had been showing off his little daughter since midnight, finally stopped being shy after swallowing the wonton and said, "I know, I also know the Yue family's situation. It's very uncomfortable to be caught in it."
Ye San took a deep breath. This small table was at the edge. He wasn't worried that someone would overhear the conversation, but he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Speaking of which, it's the first twenty years of my life." People who are the happiest, only care about being carefree and wandering all over the world, are not as thorough as you, the girl who is about to marry, who can see and understand things thoroughly. "
Yue Baizhi blushed again, "It was my mother who told Baizhi when she was still alive that my husband has a laid-back temperament and has been indifferent since he was a child. It is difficult to compete for him. She asked me to think more about everything and discuss it with my second sister."
Ye Sangen chuckled, "Three years ago, you led those guys to find me and discussed it with the second sister?"
For Ye San Geng, blurting out such a sentence was just a harmless joke in his opinion. The matter was dispensable in his heart. He didn't even blame Ye Xia You for going blind. The person in front of her made the original decision, and she didn't discuss whether it was right or wrong.
Thousands of people have different views, even if they are a family, they all have different opinions on right and wrong. It is right to keep your original intention unchanged.
But it is obvious that the complicated past events involving the interests of all parties are more serious for this tall and beautiful woman than violating the three obediences and four virtues.
Dressed in white, his eyes turned red immediately, and he choked with sobs: "It was because I didn't think about getting into trouble at the beginning and was misled by others, so I misunderstood my husband and didn't discuss it with my second sister..."
Seeing Yue Baizhi's expression of crying, it couldn't be said that he felt distressed. The third son of the Ye family, who didn't understand the sentiment, felt a headache at the moment and said impatiently: "You have something to say, why are you crying?"
Being so straightforward and uninteresting did not make Yue Baizhi feel anything wrong. On the contrary, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and adjusted his breathing, "I just feel that I was sorry for my husband and my second sister."
Not realizing that he was the only one who mentioned this topic, Ye San Geng said impatiently: "Sister, I didn't blame you, I didn't say anything, and no one in the family ever argued with you about this. What are you thinking about? My sister’s serious temperament, if this is really your fault, because the second sister is blind, do you think she would give up so easily? What do you think you are thinking about? "
Being said like this in the middle of the night, although it was not a scolding, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Yue Baizhi's eyes tightened, but he was afraid of being blamed by his husband. He quickly lowered his head and drank soup to cover it up, and said softly: "But I feel uncomfortable in my heart. My husband suffered at the beginning." Such a serious injury, second sister..."
"He's not dead yet." Midnight joked again, "Eat quickly. After eating, take a look around the capital city."
Obviously, the lady who was deeply ingrained in the three obediences and four virtues was no longer as sassy, obedient, and speechless as she was in the palace.
The final bill was paid by Yue Bai Pheasant. Regarding this strange combination of a tall woman and a low man, especially when it was a woman paying the bill, the owner of the wonton stall couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and finally took advantage of the fact that his mother-in-law, who has excellent stuffing skills, wasn't paying attention. When he looked over at midnight, he gave a thumbs up.
Not knowing why, Ye San Geng responded with a polite smile, but Yue Baiji, who had accidentally seen it, made Yue Baizhi blush again.
Obviously, a woman who can willingly spend money on a man when away from home is considered a great skill at any time.
