After walking along the official road heading south for about three days, Chai Yan and Yuan arrived at a place called Shanyang County.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chai Yan proposed to stay in Shanyang County for one night and rest before setting off on his journey the next day.
But when Chai Yan asked someone for directions, he realized that they had passed many places while galloping south, including Shanyang County.
Neither Chai Yan nor Yu Yuan wanted to go back to the county town, so after discussion, they decided to continue going forward. Maybe they could see an inn or a small village in front of them. In short, it would be convenient as long as it was a place where they could spend the night.
Their hard work paid off. The two of them inquired about people they met along the way, and finally found a small village before dark.
The village is very small, with only a dozen families living there, and all of them have the surname Yu, and most of them are related to each other, so everyone calls this village the Yu Family Village.
Chai Yan was not short of money and was willing to spend it. Soon, with the help of the village chief, the two of them moved into a clean and tidy farmhouse.
It's not that no one lives in the small courtyard, but the accommodation money paid by Chai Yan is enough for the owner and his family to move out for one night.
If you go to your neighbor's house and spend the night alone, you can earn nearly ten days' worth of income, so why not do it?
After the owner and his family packed up everything and left, Yuan Yuan said: "Chai Yan, it's not good for us to do this. I always feel like we are trying to occupy a magpie's nest..."
Chai Yan sat down at the table, poured a bowl of water for Yuan, and poured another bowl of water for himself, and said: "Madam, what you said is wrong. When Yuan occupies the magpie's nest, he means that he didn't pay for it. He is robbing him."
, it’s occupying! But you gave me money to your husband, how can you call it a dove occupying a magpie’s nest?”
With that said, Chai Yan took a big gulp of water.
Yuan Yuan slowly walked to the table and sat down, saying: "But I still feel bad... In fact, the first house the village chief took us to was pretty good. They had an empty room. Let's clean it up.
It’s also very good, but you insist on..."
Chai Yan put down the water bowl and said: "That family can't do it. You haven't seen it. Their children are only a little bit old. They must be noisy and need to be fed at night. We have to go on the road tomorrow morning. We wake up several times during the night and wake up during the day.
How can you be energetic? No, no, sleep is a top priority for a woman, and your husband doesn’t want you to not sleep well, and then you will have a pair of panda eyes!”
Along the way, Chai Yan was very considerate of Yuan. He was afraid of freezing and starving her, so he always considered her first in everything and always had her in mind!
Yuan Yuan felt happy and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, that's it..."
"That's right!" Chai Yan nodded with satisfaction.
Then, Chai Yan said again: "Madam, there are no outsiders here, you should take off the gauze too."
This time, Yuan Yuan did not wear that exaggerated light show when she went out. Instead, she changed to a light and easy-to-use gauze, which only covered her eyes. This way it would not affect her sight, and others would not be able to see her eye-catching blue eyes.
eye.
Yuan Yuan took off the gauze, carefully put it around her waist, and then said: "Chai Yan..."
"Wait a minute, didn't we agree to call you Xianggong when there's no one around?" Chai Yan immediately cut off his words.
"Who made this agreement with you..." Yuan Yuan's pretty face turned red and she pretended to be displeased.
Chai Yan immediately moved closer to Yu Yuan and said nicely: "Madam, you see, I always call you Madam, isn't it right for you to call me husband..."
Yuan Yuan paused for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "Look at what you said, it seems like I forced you to scream like this!"
"No, no..." Chai Yan said in a flattering tone: "Call me husband, just call me..."
But Yuan Yuan was so thin-skinned that he couldn't speak out. He just opened his mouth and closed it again. His face was so red that it looked like it was about to drip.
Chai Yan saw this, stepped down the steps, put on a comfortable look and said: "Okay, okay, my husband is very happy to hear this, and I am very satisfied with my husband!"
Hearing this, Yuan Yuan was stunned, raised his head and looked at Chai Yan with surprised eyes, thinking to himself, I didn't say anything!
Chai Yan seemed to know what Yuanyuan was thinking, so he sat next to her and said softly: "My husband knows that you have already screamed in your heart. We have the same mind, so my husband naturally heard it."
Such love words caught Yiyuan off guard, and he immediately blushed and lowered his head in shame.
"Chai Yan, can you stop being so disgusting! I'm going to be so disgusted by you all the way here!" Shangguan Peining expressed dissatisfaction.
Chai Yan immediately replied rudely: "Go, go, go, what's the matter with you? You claim to be a great monk, why do you like to eavesdrop on other people's conversations so much?"
Shangguan Peining was so stunned by these words that he didn't know how to refute, so he could only snort angrily and remain silent.
Then, Chai Yan took the opportunity to put his arms around Yuanyuan's shoulders, patted her twice gently pretending to comfort him, and said softly: "It's okay, madam, I'll say this a lot in the future, I'm used to it if I'm shy..."
..."
"screw you!"
Yuan Yuan was so embarrassed that he pushed Chai Yan out.
Chai Yan was unprepared and slipped off the bench and sat on the ground.
"Ouch, my ass, madam, are you going to murder your husband?" Chai Yan sat on the ground, covering his crotch and shouting exaggeratedly, his eyes, nose and eyebrows almost squished together at the sight.
Yuan Yuan was immediately amused by Chai Yan's funny appearance, covered his mouth and started laughing.
"You're still laughing and you haven't pulled me up yet!" Chai Yan frowned on purpose.
Yuan Yuan laughed while pulling Chai Yan up and said: "You know how powerful I am, right? You will never be able to give it a serious try again..."
Chai Yan wiped the dust off his butt and sat down again, asking: "By the way, madam, do you know Tianming Lake in Yaozhou?"
"Tianming Lake?" Yuanyuan had already told Chai Yan, but she had never heard of it.
Chai Yan then said: "Madam, I heard someone say before that there is a large lake in Yaozhou City called Tianming Lake. It is said that it is as blue as the sky from a distance and as clear as a mirror from up close. The scenery is so beautiful that standing by the lake feels like you are in a painting.
Woolen cloth."
"Really?" Yuanyuan suddenly became interested. After being bored in Jimo Mansion for so long, she became more and more yearning for the beautiful scenery of the lake.
Chai Yan said: "I can't say, but Tianming Lake definitely exists. It's just about the scenery there. We have to see it to believe it before we can draw a conclusion!"
Yuanyuan nodded and suddenly said: "Don't forget, His Highness the Crown Prince asked you to go to Yaozhou to visit Commander Gu. Don't always worry about sightseeing."
"How could I forget? What I mean is that after we confirm Mr. Gu's situation, we can go have a good time. If you like it, we can stay and then buy a lake-view house by Tianming Lake and live there peacefully.
..." Chai Yan said longingly.
Listening to the vision outlined by Chai Yan, the kite suddenly had the idea of flying to Tianming Lake...
