Chapter 256 Twists and turns (on the finale)(1/6)
On the first day of September, in the early morning, Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi got up to wash and change their clothes.
Ye Shuhua wore a black embroidered Yansu suit with a blue and white jade belt on his waist. On the jade belt were hung with a white jade dragon pendant representing his identity and a small gold knife inlaid with gems, a golden crown tied with hair, and a pink boots on his feet. He was handsome and elegant and noble.
Song Ruoxi wore a luxurious nine-green four-phoenix crown and a bright red gold-rimmed robe. She was full of pearls and treasures. She was originally beautiful and dressed up in a gorgeous and bright manner.
The two of them cleaned up and it was already bright. The sun, which had not appeared for a few days, emitted a thousand-foot light through the thick clouds, driving away the haze that had been going on for days.
Song Ruoxi thought this was a good omen. He stood by the window and smiled at the sun in the sky like the flowers blooming in spring, charming and charming.
Ye Shuhua walked over, stood side by side with her, and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at?"
Song Ruoxi looked at him sideways and asked with a smile: "Senior brother, wait for you to rest, take me to the mountain to watch the sunrise, okay?"
Ye Shuhua looked at the sun in the sky, looked down at her clear black pupils, and smiled gently, "Danxia Peak outside the city is a good place to watch the sunrise. We left the city the day before and lived in the villa in the mountains. We could go up the mountain to watch the sunrise the next day."
Song Ruoxi was about to speak when Ouyang's voice rang outside the door, "Young City Lord, Young Madam."
"Come in!" Song Ruoxi.
Ouyang and others changed into brand new dresses, walked in with a smile on their faces, and said in unison: "I wish the young city lord good health and good luck."
"It's good to say, there is a reward." Song Ruoxi smiled and took out the prepared red envelopes to reward them one by one.
"Thank you, the young master, thank you, the young lady." Everyone saluted and thanked.
The silkworm made two bowls of longevity noodles and brought them in, and said with a smile: "Young City Lord, Young Madam, after eating longevity noodles, it will add blessings and longevity."
A bowl of Changshou noodles is a piece, and you can eat it from beginning to end, and live a hundred years. After eating the noodles, the two went out to Fengxiantang in Zhongyuan.
Li Jicai had already led people to set up a desk and incense and candle in front of the hall. Seeing the two of them coming, he came over with a smile to greet his parents and greet him, and said, "Young Master, the youngest city lord, the flowers are full and the moon are flying together, and the couple will be in harmony forever."
The two were stunned. Is this a birthday greeting?
"Mr. Li was wrong. Today is the birthday of the young city lord, but it is not the young city lord who got married with the young lady." The boy next to him hurriedly reminded him.
Li Jicai turned around and glared at him, saying, "It's all a great event, just say auspicious words."
"Auspicious words are well said, and there is a reward." Song Ruoxi smiled and signaled Xiangxiu to give the red envelope.
Li Jicai and others thanked him.
Ye Shuhua stood in front of the desk, respectfully burned incense and wine, and paid homage to the gods of heaven and earth. The legitimate son of the Ye family grew up safely and thanked the gods of heaven and earth for their blessings.
Song Ruoxi followed suit.
After burning the paper, the two entered the ancestral hall and saluted the ancestors.
After the ceremony was delivered, the two went to Danning House to kowtow to the Lord of Yefan and Zhaoping County.
Ye Shuhua's birthday party was a dinner party. After a while, Ye Fan and Ye Shuhua went to Zhongyong Hall. Although today was Ye Shuhua's birthday, it was not a holiday, so the city affairs were still dealt with.
Song Ruoxi chatted with the Zhaoping County Lord for a few words, went to Qiushuang Hall, told a few managers to return to Shuyuyuan. The weight of this dress of makeup is not light, so I have to take it off quickly and have a good rest. There are still a lot of people to deal with at night.
The four strong women carried their shoulder chariots to the East Garden. Halfway through, a team of patrolmen came towards him. Seeing the shoulder chariots, they retreated to the side to give in. Song Ruoxi's eyes swept over them from a high place, and did not notice that among the group of people, someone familiar with her was watching her silently.
When she returned to the yard, Song Ruoxi was about to remove the hairpin ring.
Xiang Xiu stepped forward and advised, "Young Madam, the eldest son and the others will come to the yard to pay their birthday to the young city lord."
"They just came in the afternoon and they won't come now. I'll be brisk for a while." Song Ruoxi sat in front of the dressing table, "Besides, I don't wear this kind of makeup at dinner, so why bother to change it until dusk? I'll be tired."
Everyone laughed and followed her words.
Song Ruoxi was relaxed and read the script on the couch. Ye Shuhua, who was discussing politics in Zhongyong Hall, learned a shocking news.
"City Lord, Dongbi Hou of Heguo came to celebrate the birthday of the young city lord. Now the people have arrived outside the city gate." The escort guarding the city gate came in with the letter of state to report.
"What?" Ye Fan was stunned, turned to anger and slapped the table, "Damn it, you have arrived outside the city gate before you report it! If he was leading troops to attack, wouldn't we surrender?"
The officials knelt down and said, "I am in a position to be in vain."
"Father, Dongbi Hou came from Heguo. The journey was long, but he had never disturbed the governments along the way. It can be seen that he came secretly and did it intentionally. This matter cannot be blamed on all the adults for failing to observe." Ye Shuhua said in a deep voice.
Ye Xiaojing's eyes flashed, his expression remained motionless, and he moved his feet and touched Ye Xiaogong's feet.
Ye Xiaogong glanced at him, remembered the two charming beauties and the expensive antiques that Chen Mo gave him, and stepped forward and said, "Father, this Dongbi Hou is Hedi's uncle, and his status is noble. If he is turned away and neglected, it may cause dissatisfaction from Heguo."
Ye Fan's eyes flashed with a cold light and he sneered: "Uninvited guests are also guests. Since they were the Heguo you went to last time, you will be the one who will receive him this time."
"Yes, father." Ye Xiaogong took the order and left.
"All of you get up and continue to discuss matters." Ye Fan sat back on the throne with a gloomy face, and the matter was temporarily revealed.
After the meeting was finished, Ye Shuhua did not return to Shuyuyuan and went to Tingzhuxuan in Nanyuan. The green bamboo forest, the phoenix tail was full of phoenixes, and the winding path was secluded. From a distance, I saw Shangguan Moxun wearing a purple brocade robe, a jade belt tied with a white magnolia hairpin, loose and loose. He was smiling on his face and leaned against his lining. He held a wine glass in his left hand, and the edge of the glass was pressed against his lips. He raised the wine into his throat. He lifted the pot on the table and filled the wine into the glass, lazy and casual, leisurely.
"Chen Mo is here, he hides his tracks all the way, and only reveals his identity when he arrives outside the city." Ye Shuhua lifted up his robe and sat on the railing, "I said he was here to celebrate my birthday. He will definitely attend the evening dinner."
Shangguan Moxun drank the wine in the glass in one go, curled his lips and sneered: "The victory and the defeat are here in one fell swoop. With his personality, he will definitely come in person and control everything."
"Dengyingcheng is not a place where he can come whenever he wants, and he can go whenever he wants. This time, I want to keep him." Ye Shuhua had murderous intentions at Chen Mo who was in a dim light.
A strange look flashed in Shangguan Moxun's deep eyes, and even the compassionate people were murderous. Chen Mo really deserved to die, but said, "I'm afraid you can't keep him this time. He showed up as a Dongbi Hou to attend the dinner because you can't kill him."
"He came here without being invited. In a hurry, my city was not protected. Besides, my sword was eyeless, and an accident happened. My city deeply regretted this." Ye Shuhua had already considered it along the way.
"Your birthday." Shangguan Moxun sneered and raised his eyebrows, "Don't you think it's too unlucky for his death?"
Ye Shuhua smiled indifferently and said, "Life and death are common things. People are born every day and people leave every day. How can there be bad luck?"
Shangguan Moxun poured wine into the cup, threw the wine pot to Ye Shuhua, and raised the cup, "I wish him early to enter the cycle of reincarnation."
Ye Shuhua smiled, raised her head and took a big sip at the spout, "Good wine!"
"The peach blossom wine in the Taohua Temple is drunk without getting drunk." Shangguan Moxun drank all the wine and got up and walked into the room. "I want to go to sleep and nourish my energy. You can't miss the big thing at night. That pot of wine is given to you. After drinking wine, you can sleep well."
Ye Shuhua looked at the black-glazed plum blossoms in his hand and laughed and said, "Thank you."
The people in the house stopped responding, and the door creaked and closed.
Ye Shuhua held the pot, got up and left, returned to Shuyuyuan, and entered the door and said, "Yingying, I'll bring back a pot of good wine."
Song Ruoxi sat up on the couch and asked with a smile: "What kind of good wine is it?"
"The peach blossom wine from Taohua Temple." Ye Shuhua handed her the pot.
Song Ruoxi took the pot and opened the lid, "Why is there only half a pot? Did you drink it secretly?"
"A drop of good wine makes you happy, and a pool of bad wine is unwilling to drink." Ye Shuhua said with a smile.
"Where did you hear this 'famous saying'?" Song Ruoxi smiled and joked.
"This is what the wine-loving person said."
Song Ruoxi placed the wine table on the high table next to it, "I will have a few drinks with our young city lord at noon today."
The meal came in, and the couple sat opposite each other at the table. Song Ruoxi picked up the pot and filled two glasses of wine. He picked up the cup in front of him, his eyes flowed, and he said with a smile: "I will do one cup for me, and I will make three wishes with you, and I will be a thousand years old."
Ye Shuhua raised his glass and clinked her, drank the wine in the glass, and asked with a smile: "What is the second wish?"
Song Ruoxi drank wine and poured it all over again, "I wish I always be healthy."
Ye Shuhua smiled and asked, "The third wish?"
"The three wishes are like swallows on the beam, meeting each other every year."
Ye Shuhua laughed, "These three wishes are all good, and I have three wishes too."
"Let's talk about it, what are your three wishes?"
"I will give you a cup for me and make three wishes with you, one wishes my wife will be a thousand years old."
"Self-sharing people's teeth." Song Ruoxi smiled and curled his lips.
"As long as your wish is good, it will be done." Ye Shuhua laughed and raised his wine glass, "Please ask the young lady to drink the wine in the glass."
"You said the second and third wishes, and I drank them together."
"The two wishes are long and long, this wish is different from yours."
Song Ruoxi chuckled and said, "Where is the third wish?"
"Three wishes will be with you in heaven and earth forever."
"Your three wishes are good, let's drink this cup together!" Song Ruoxi smiled and bent his eyebrows.
While the two of them talked, they finished drinking half a pot of wine, and after eating, Xiangduo brought the digestive tea and left.
Ye Shuhua took a sip of tea and said, "Chen Mo is here!"
Song Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked, "Who? Who did you say is here?"
"Chen Mo is here. In the morning, he went to the city gate to reveal his identity, and we only realized that he is here."
"Have you seen him?"
"No, my father asked my fourth brother to see him."
Song Ruoxi frowned and looked worried, "He is here, and things will be even more difficult tonight."
"He's here, better, he can solve the problem in one go."
"I don't know who will be the one who colluded with him?"
"No need to make a effort to guess, he will show his true form tonight." Ye Shuhua said coldly.
