MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 79

A carriage that Long Da and An Ruochen took on their return journey.

An Ruochen was quite flustered when Long Da squeezed forward: "General, we have agreed."

"Yeah, it's just that I drank two more glasses, and wasted my mind on the business just now, and now I feel a little dizzy. Didn't I just tell the guards that I won't ride a horse because of dizziness?" Long Da rubbed his forehead. A dizzy look.

An Ruochen opened his mouth, really not saying anything good about him.

The carriage started to move, An Ruochen lifted the curtain and peeked out. The guards were guarding the carriage on horseback. They all looked upright, as if they didn't notice that the dignified general had to squeeze the carriage with the steward if he didn't ride a horse.

"You just have a guilty conscience, that's why you think too much." Long Dao said.

An Ruochen curled her lips, is it appropriate to expose a girl's family like this?

"It seems that you have a good harvest today." Seeing her seemed quite happy when she came out.

"Yes. Where's the general?"

Long Da shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not good news." He told the story in a low voice, and An Ruochen was very surprised. "Is this in line with the rules?" She doesn't understand state affairs, but she has never heard Mr. Shu say such a thing.

"It's unreasonable. But there's no rule that says it's not allowed. Shi Taishou and Yao Taishou didn't deal with each other. He stayed with the embassy for the New Year. He must have planned to send someone to Beijing to report to the emperor. When the embassy arrives in the capital, then It is up to the emperor whether the two of them will meet in the palace or not. Prefect Shi won't offend either side, and he gave Dong Ling face."

An Ruochen thought for a long time: "Those two people, can't they be assassins?"

Long laughed loudly, and lay down on An Ruochen's lap: "This is where I like to discuss business with you, you always dare to think of the sky."

An Ruochen didn't push him angrily, and couldn't tell if he was praising her or teasing her, and Mr. General, are you so consciously leaning on a girl's lap? This is what Deng Tuzi did.

"It's a compliment to you." Long Da seemed to hear her voice, and then held her hand that pushed him: "I'm drunk."

"I've never heard that drinking water can make you drunk." An Ruochen poked at him.

Long Da smiled: "Hey, what I drank was water instead of wine? Steward An, why did you change my wine?"

An Ruochen: "..." She's been tricked again, right?

An Ruochen didn't speak.

Long Da said again: "If you say that you feel sorry for me and I have a headache, I will be happy in my heart."

An Ruochen held on for a while and couldn't hold it anymore, she shook his hand and said, "Okay, I don't want you to have a headache."

Long smiled. An Ruochen looked down at him, and felt that the general was really cunning. Looking at him like this, he felt that he was really good-looking.

"I have a bad feeling." Long Da said suddenly.

An Ruochen became serious immediately, waiting for him to continue.

"So we must hurry up and get closer to you."

An Ruochen: "..." So the bad feeling is just making excuses for what his apprentice did?

It is said that Qian Shixin returned to the Qian Mansion, and asked his steward to call the steward of Qian Pei's next door, and asked him carefully what the master had done during this period of time, and whether a new girl had entered the family in the past few months. Whether you bought it as a gift or how you got it, you have to report it in detail.

The steward was taken aback, and hurriedly reported the truth that in the past few months, two little girls had entered the family, both of them were thirteen or fourteen years old. It was sent by Master An in October. After hearing this, Qian Shixin went to find Qian Pei angrily.

Qian Pei was writing and didn't look at his son.

"Meet my father." Qian Shixin saluted first.

"What's the matter?"

Qian Shixin straightened up and stared at Qian Pei: "I told Daddy that the situation is not very good recently, let Daddy act more restrained, do you remember?"

"I have a good memory." Qian Pei smiled, looked up at what he wrote, and put down the pen. Still not looking at Qian Shixin, he turned around and went to the bookcase to flip through the books.

Qian Shixin held back his anger, and said again: "Daddy is getting old. He wants to enjoy his old age and have some fun. My son won't talk too much. However, the situation at the border is not good these days, and the relationship with Nanqin is delicate. When disaster strikes, Dad must remember to be cautious in his words and deeds. On the side of the An family, Dad should keep less contact."

Qian Pei flipped through a book, didn't read it, just said: "Who do I associate with, you have to take care of it?"

Qian Shixin made it clear: "An Ruochen is now relying on Long Da, so Daddy must not provoke her."

"Why don't you say she provoked me?"

"The An family's marriage has been retired. What else do you have to do with her. Why did daddy say that he bought a girl to provoke her? What's the meaning of this?"

Qian Pei paused, covered the book, put it back in the cabinet, and finally turned to look at his son: "Did she actually complain to you directly?"

"She found the prefect's wife."

Qian Pei thought for a while, then laughed loudly: "This girl is really interesting. She is very good at turning around."

Qian Shixin shouted angrily: "Father!"

Qian Pei ignored him, but still laughed loudly: "This girl is really wonderful. Yao Kun will be in trouble if she goes around to Meng Jiayue's side."

"Father." Qian Shixin said with a straight face: "Here is what my son said, don't provoke her, don't provoke General Long, and the rest, my son doesn't care about you."

Qian Pei laughed and said, "You make it seem like you can control me?"

Qian Shixin's face was livid with anger: "It's good for daddy to enjoy the blessings, don't cause trouble, otherwise the son will not be able to protect daddy well." After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Qian Pei stared at his back, and said with a smile: "Jiang is old and hot, you just don't understand. You always think that your wings are hard and you can fly, and others are foolish. If it weren't for me, how could you Is there today?"

Qian Shixin returned to his house, walked in the garden for a while before he calmed down, and was about to go back to his room when he heard a bell ringing from the wall. He paused and looked around, but there was no one else, so he walked towards the dark corner where the bell sounded, and when there was still a distance, he asked, "Who is here?"

A person walked out from a dark corner. He was in his thirties, of medium build, with slender eyes and a round face. Qian Shixin had never seen him before.

"Master Qian." The man saluted.

Qian Shixin sized him up carefully, and asked politely, "What's your name, sir?"

"The surname is Jie."

"Thank you, thank you?"

The man smiled, "No."

Qian Shixin asked again: "Does Mr. Xie like bells?"

The man said: "The bell that rings is useful. What do you think, Mr. Qian?"

"Yes." Qian Shixin nodded, "Two bells are enough."

An Ruoxi plucked up her courage, and then stepped into Sifang Duan's courtyard.

When Duan saw her coming, his eyes sparkled and he smiled. "The second girl is here."

An Ruoxi looked around, Duan hurriedly sent the girl out. She beckoned An Ruoxi to sit down, and poured water for An Ruoxi herself.

An Ruoxi squeezed her fingers nervously: "Fourth Aunt."

"Second Miss went to Ziyun Tower again today? I didn't have the chance the day before yesterday, did I succeed today?" Sitting down, Mrs. Duan asked kindly.

An Ruoxi shook her head: "I didn't go to Ziyun Tower. I came here this time to tell Si Yiniang that I'm afraid I can't help Si Yiniang with this matter. Eldest sister has guards by her side, and the girl never leaves her. Every time I go, All need to be notified by the guards. I have thought about it carefully, and there is no chance of attacking me. Besides, the eldest sister will not let me go. Besides, the eldest sister is now the manager of Ziyun Building. If something happens to her, Mr. Long The general will not let us settle down."

The kindness on Duan's face disappeared without a trace.

An Ruoxi continued to bite the bullet and continued: "Think about it, Si Yiniang, Dad sued Mr. Liu of the Merchant Ship Department, but was beaten twenty sticks by the prefect. If we do anything to the eldest sister, General Long and the prefect will not let you Shall we all beheaded?"

Duan did not speak.

An Ruoxi looked at Duan Shi, she deliberately waited for a while, hoping that Duan Shi could calm down. It was brought up again after Dad was beaten and the whole family panicked. Thinking about it, Fourth Aunt should understand the truth, but looking at her like that, it seems that she still doesn't want to give up.

"Fourth aunt, think about it, we can't bury our whole family in it for the sake of eldest sister alone, don't you think so? The prefect is still looking for fourth sister, maybe we will be able to find it after a while. We will find it then For the fourth sister, she came back and was beheaded because we poisoned the eldest sister, how wronged is that?"

After hearing this, Duan frowned and thought.

"Fourth aunt, let's take a long-term plan. I haven't told anyone about this, so you can just pretend that you never had this idea. Our family just finished a lawsuit, so don't get into trouble again. Take care of yourself and wait for Simei to come back like this , can we have a happy reunion, right?" An Ruoxi felt that Duan Shi hadn't listened, but she still tried her best to persuade her.

"Okay." Duan suddenly said after being silent for a while.

An Ruoxi was a little surprised, but also heaved a sigh of relief. "It would be great if Fourth Aunt could think like this."

"Since there is no need for it, return the poison to me."

An Ruoxi froze there.

"Isn't it useless? Then give it back to me." Duan's voice was soft, his eyes were surprisingly bright, and he stared at An Ruoxi.

An Ruoxi panicked from being stared at, she took out the paper bag from her bosom, before she put it on the table, Duan suddenly snatched it away.

An Ruoxi was so frightened that she almost cried out, the back of her hand was scratched by Duan's nails, and she felt a sharp pain.

Duan looked at the paper bag, it was indeed that one. She smiled, and said to An Ruoxi: "You didn't tell others, it's fine. You can go."

After hearing the last three words, An Ruoxi turned around and ran away. After running out of Duan's yard and still running, he leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, feeling lingering in his heart.

Nothing special happened in Pingnan County for several days, and New Year's Eve entered safely.

An Ruochen, accompanied by the guards and maidservants, took the lucky lanterns to the riverside and set them off. It is a custom in the Great Xiao to write a wish into a blessing lamp and put it in water during the Chinese New Year, hoping that the wish will come true in the new year.

An Ruochen had two blessing lamps in her hand, one belonged to Long Da and the other belonged to herself.

Long Da did not celebrate the New Year in Zhonglan City, and at this time, he wanted to be with his frontline soldiers.

On the night before leaving, An Ruochen was awakened in the middle of the night. Just about to scream but saw Long Da's face. It turned out that he stroked her face and woke her up.

An Ruochen looked at the sky, it was still dark, it was the moonlight that made her see him.

"General, what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just think that it will be next year when I come back. If I don't do this, I will have to wait until next year. It will take a year, which is too long."

An Ruochen's mind is a little confused, isn't it just two days next year? how long?

Then she felt a softness on her lips, Long Da bent down and kissed her.

An Ruochen's mind suddenly buzzed, and there was nothing left.

When Long Da raised his head, all she could think of was his smile and the taste of his lips.

Then she heard him say, "You're so flattering when you're dumb."

She continued to be dazed.

I heard him say again: "Think about the wedding date, this time I'm not teasing you."

After he finished speaking, he bowed his head, leaving her mind blank again, unable to think about anything.

An Ruochen stood by the river, still blushing thinking of those two kisses. But the general is right, if we wait for him to come back, it will be next year, that would be too long.

An Ruochen bent down, first put Longda's lucky lamp into the river, and watched the lamp drift away with the water.

In the blessing lamp, there is a wish written by Long Da himself. The wish of Fudeng is particular, not everything can be done, but to write a wish that you feel that you need the blessing of the gods and some luck to realize it, but it is possible to realize it.

Everyone says that it is useless to write a wish that is inevitable or impossible to achieve. You can only make one wish in Fudeng, so don't let it go to waste.

Long Da's wish this year is: not to start a war.

An Ruochen also put her own lucky lamp into the river, and the wish she wrote was: If Li Changshi was wronged, she hoped to find out the real culprit and return him innocent.
