The Moon Over Tang Dynasty Chapter 94

Chapter 94 Good times are like dreams and there is a long way to go

The moon has already risen, casting a clear light slantingly in the secluded alley of Yongningfang. Liuli stood under a locust tree that was as thick as an arm. She looked up at the moon, then at the closed door not far away, as well as the few lanterns on the door that were swaying slightly in the wind. She couldn't help but Sighed.

Pei Xingjian had brought her too many surprises in the past few hours. His words in the elegant room of the restaurant, and the kiss that was so sweet and long that she could completely forget everything... Her face couldn't help but Once it got hot, his low sigh seemed to ring in my ears again, "Liu Li, Liu Li, how can you be so sweet!"

Something hit the tree trunk with a "snap" sound. Liuli turned around and looked around, but there was no one there. She was in a daze when someone hugged her from behind, "What are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?" "

Liuli closed her eyes and shook her head gently: Brother Pei, I already know that the history books have wronged you. How can you be called a Confucian general with your ability to climb walls and trees? At least he's a flying general, right? —Also, how could Su Dingfang, who came from a family of famous generals and was a disciple carefully trained by Su Dingfang, be just a scholar? But if you keep playing like this, then it's not a surprise but a fright, okay?

Pei Xingjian gently turned her half a circle, "I took a quick look and found that the house inside is 80% new and the layout is not bad. I have been here once before noon, and I heard that the origin of the house is quite innocent. If you don't mind, we can get married here.”

Liuli's eyes widened in surprise—what could she dislike? The question is, this is a house given by Hedong Gongfu. Is he really planning to move in?

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "There are some things that you can't avoid no matter where you live. Living here is just to prove that the Hedong Duke's government is so kind to me. If I buy another house, I won't know what's going on. Besides, in a few days I will I will take up a post in Chang'an County, and then there will be more than 20 people in Guanggefang. There will be no room for living in the yard there. I originally wanted to sell the house that has been vacant for several years and buy another house. , but I haven't found the right one yet, so now it's easy, you don't have to worry about the house decoration, just leave it to me.”

Liuli was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses, "You don't want to be a housekeeper anymore?"

Pei Xingjian nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Chang'an Order." Looking at Liuli's confused look, he could only explain with a smile, "The Chang'an Order is at the fifth rank. Although he is super promoted, he is from three provinces, which makes sense. "

Liuli suddenly realized that the rank of Chang'an County Magistrate was so high? Pei Xingjian's current living position is from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, which is naturally a step up several levels. However, in the Tang Dynasty, when central officials were sent to other places, most of them would be promoted. After leaving Taige, you can be promoted naturally. Gaozong's arrangements really took a lot of painstaking efforts. No matter how you look at it now, it doesn't seem like Pei Xingjian would be so crazy that he would get involved with Changsun Wuji and others to oppose the emperor's appointment of Wu Zhaoyi as queen...

Pei Xingjian looked at her thoughtful look and said in a low voice, "If I were ordered to Chang'an, although I would be busier on weekdays, I wouldn't have to be on duty at the Yamen, nor would I have to go on patrol with the saint to escape the heat and cold. I could come back every day. ”

Liuli felt relieved. In other words, she could see him every day? If so, it would not be bad to be promoted to this official position. But I heard him say again, "It's just that according to the law, officials above the fifth rank are not allowed to enter the market place, so today may be the last time I go to that wine shop..."

 Has he already known the news? Is that why you took yourself there today? Liuli looked up at Pei Xingjian, but before she could speak, Pei Xingjian lowered his head and kissed her lips gently, sealing all her thoughts. In dizziness, Liuli was under his hot kiss. Between her lips, she felt that strange cold fragrance again. Now she was sure that this intoxicating and bewitching taste was not the aroma of Wuyunjing wine, but his breath...

I don't know how much time passed, but Pei Xingjian reluctantly let go of Liuli, closed his eyes and sighed, "Why isn't it the seventeenth day of the first lunar month?"

Liuli was stunned and couldn't help laughing. Was he so impatient to wait to get married? But now, it's actually pretty good... Pei Xingjian almost didn't dare to look at her smiling face anymore. He stepped back slightly and held her hand, "Let's go to the West Market to watch the lanterns, shall we? There will be more singing and dancing in the West Market." "It's more lively than Dongshi."

Liuli shook her head, "Not good."

Pei Xingjian was startled for a moment. Liuli suddenly reached out and hooked his neck, biting his lips gently. What's so good about singing and dancing at lanterns? Of course he is better looking and more delicious! Pei Xingjian hissed softly, stretched out his hands to hold her tightly in his arms, and kissed her back deeply.

This kiss was no longer as gentle and long as before, but it was filled with uncontrollable urgency and enthusiasm, with a bit of unfamiliar domineering and longing. It was tossing and turning, deep and unsatisfied. Liuli gradually felt a little breathless and wanted to push him away. , but found that his arm was as unshakable as an iron hoop. Fortunately, the next moment, Pei Xingjian had let her go decisively, resting his chin on her forehead, his voice became hoarse and quick, "Liu Li, don't move, don't talk... "

Liuli was startled and didn't dare to move quietly. She only felt that his heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out. After a long time, she heard him take a long breath and whisper, "Liuli, if you If you don't go out with me to watch the lanterns, I will have to..." His voice was full of depression, "I'll take you back."

Liuli laughed silently as she lay on his chest. Pei Xingjian gently stroked her hair and sighed, then sighed again, his voice full of helplessness.    …

On the early morning of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, when Ani returned to the Su Mansion from Duke Ying's Mansion, Liuli was still sleeping. The little girl from the Su Mansion smiled at Ani and whispered, "Auntie came back just before five o'clock. Madam said , we don't need to wake her up, let her sleep a little longer.”

Ani smiled and was not surprised at all. She just tidied up her room quietly and stayed outside. It was not until almost noon that there was any movement in the inner room. Ani knew that Liuli was not used to being served closely, so after hearing about it, she poured hot water in, served Liuli, washed her face, and gargled her mouth with salt water. When she saw Liuli's face, there seemed to be a special kind of radiance, and she endured it. I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Liuli felt guilty when she saw Ani's surprised look, so she just smiled and asked her, "Where have you been watching lanterns these days?"

Ani smiled hurriedly and said, "I went to the East Market on the 14th and the West Market on the 15th. They didn't go home until dawn. Yesterday, because I wanted to come over again, I just went to the nearest two streets. Turn around."

Liuli suddenly felt even more depressed - it sounded like A Ni had been playing with him for three days! On the 15th, Pei Xingjian took her to the West Market. It was indeed more lively than the East Market, with more singing and dancing, and denser crowds. Although there were many fewer green trucks, the beautiful orchids mixed in with the crowds were all there. The dress is novel, the eyes are hot, and the appearance is stunning. The singing crowd under the lantern tree at the entrance of the West Market was even more mixed, including men and women, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Pei Xingjian smiled and asked her to dance, but she shook her head and refused, so he sighed and said that it was a pity that he couldn't do it himself and could only watch the fun. She got a prank and forced Pei Xingjian to go in and dance for a while. Unexpectedly, he When he really jumped up, his movements were free and graceful, and he even raised his eyebrows and smiled at her. Liuli immediately understood that he had been tricked again - his hesitant look just now was just an act!

Yesterday, the two of them did not go to crowded places. They just walked around and talked casually. Somehow, they came to nearly five o'clock. Liuli even felt that they could probably hold hands like this for the rest of their lives. The Kyoto Emperor It doesn't matter whether they are in the city or the ends of the earth, as long as they are together. And the kiss he pressed on her forehead when we broke up a few hours ago seemed to still have a little residual warmth, which was enough to keep her warm for a long time... But thinking about it now, it felt like she had had a very long sweet dream, beautiful. It almost didn't seem like it actually happened.

A Ni looked at Liuli and her eyes suddenly became wandering. She didn't know where her mind had gone, but there was a dazed smile on the corner of her mouth. Her heart moved, and she guessed a little bit. She just felt a little funny, but suddenly she felt a little bit mad. Shen: If the aunt sent me back to celebrate the festival just for this, it means that she does not regard herself as a caring person, but why should I really make her feel at ease? Since the old lady will deed her body to the aunt, she will be hers in the future, but her parents and brothers are all from there... Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Liuli ask, "Will the old lady come back tomorrow?" Mansion?”

Ani said hurriedly, "When I came here in the morning, I heard that the old lady had a full moon wine in the palace at noon today and then came back."

Are you going to respond to the Duke's office so soon? Liuli felt a little disappointed, but Ani felt a little guilty. The two of them had their own thoughts and were silent for a while. They combed their hair and changed their clothes, and then went to the Su's house to go to bed.

At this time, the Su family and his son had naturally gone out. Only Mrs. Yu and Luo Shi were chatting and joking in the house. When they saw Liuli, they were both smiling. Liuli naturally knew what they were laughing about. They had been busy in the past two days anyway. They were used to laughing, so they just pretended not to know, and went up to see Li generously. When the two of them saw A Ni behind Liuli, they didn't have much to say, and they just urged the cook to serve some hot porridge first. Lunch will be served later.

After Liuli finished a bowl of thick vegetable porridge and told Mrs. Yang that she would return home in the afternoon, Mrs. Yu hurriedly pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, "I heard from the general that we will be going back tomorrow." I will go to your house to ask for an appointment, and it will be scheduled in April. Time is really tight. Can your family be ready? In addition, in order to keep the promise, you will simply live in the house given by the Hedong government. You have such a big deal. How confident is it that it's a house?”

Liuli couldn't help but sigh. She wasn't sure whether the family would be ready, but she was very sure that she couldn't manage such a big house. In her two lifetimes, she hadn't taken care of anything. Not to mention taking care of the daily necessities of dozens of people. Mrs. Yu knew what she was thinking, and when she saw her sighing, she couldn't help but sigh too, "I originally thought I wouldn't be in a hurry, but it seems I don't have much time. You go back and stay with Mrs. Yang for two days first, and I'll go over there." Tell her, don't worry about other things for the past two months and learn to be a housekeeper from me!”

Well, the crash course for housewives in the Tang Dynasty is about to begin, and everyone will appreciate the most cheating salary system in history... Many thanks to Dear Mizongquan, Le Melodious, Carefree Hehe, Refrigerator, Gentle Trouble and Yuxiao Yanfen classmate.

Fangge: The entourage assigned to officials above fifth rank in the Tang Dynasty. There are twenty-four people in the fifth-grade defense pavilion.
