Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 46: Drunken Eyes, Peach Blossoms on the Window
Lu Xi's slightly angry look was extremely charming and adorable.

If they were not in the attic at this moment, Yang Yuan really wanted to hold her little head and let her try to see if she could kick him.

Yang Yuan chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, then I will work harder and marry you as soon as possible."

Yang Yuan opened his arms and said, "Come on, let's have a mouthful first."

"Don't even think about it." Lu Xi shrank back.

Yang Yuan begged, "I'll go back if you give me a mouthful."

"No, no, you should go back quickly. Don't let my dad see you or he will beat you to death."

"Good Xixi, good Lulu, we are going to be husband and wife, so just kiss each other, okay?"

A strong woman is afraid of a clingy man. Lu Xi's heart was beating fast, but her feet moved towards Yang Yuan uncontrollably.

"Just... just for a moment?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

"Then...it's settled, just once."

Luxi blushed, raised her head slightly, pouted her lips, and closed her eyes tightly.

Yang Yuan was completely fascinated by her shy, fearful, and well-behaved expression.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at the little flower waiting to be picked. Just as he was about to lean over to kiss it, a thunderous shout came to his ears!
Immediately afterwards, a door bolt flew over!
……

Yang Che was drunk today, but he was happy in his heart and did not feel tired at all.

He drank strong tea, his mind in a mess, thinking about things randomly.

Just now, I mentioned my second brother's marriage to Old Man Song at the table, and Old Man Song also said that he had asked someone to help. If this matter is to be accomplished, it can be done slowly or quickly. However, some time-consuming things must be prepared in advance.

This house will be given to my second brother as a wedding room. The first floor can be divided into three rooms, a living room, a bedroom, and a kitchen. Once we start a family, we can't eat at Old Man Song's shop all day long. How can we live like a normal family?
The attic also needs to be renovated. When my second brother has a child in the future, someone will have to live upstairs. Some new furniture needs to be made, but there is no need to buy a bed and a dressing table. A girl's dowry will definitely include a dowry and bedding.

When the time comes, I can just find a place nearby to rent a small house. However, the rents around here are quite expensive, and I don’t know if I can find a landlord as easy to talk to as Old Man Song…

Yang Che thought that although everything was complicated, there would be more beautiful things in the future, and he felt happier in his heart.

What do people seek? For him in the past, it was nothing more than food, clothing and shelter. If he had more spare money, he could go to a tavern to listen to music, watch art in a brothel, and drink with friends, which would be a good life.

Because at that time, he was a lonely man. The job he was doing was dangerous and risky. So he couldn't save the monthly salary.

Do you really think that Yang Che, who is now a bit rigid and boring, was the same in the past? If that were the case, how could he become a close friend of the romantic and unrestrained Kou Heiyi?
But when he found his younger brother, his life had a goal and his pursuits changed.

Yang Che let out a light breath, stood up, walked towards the small compartment at the top of the house, lifted the curtain and walked in.

As soon as you enter, the scent of sandalwood hits you in the face.

The compartment is not big, with an altar table against the wall and only space for a futon in front of it.

On the altar are tablets of the Yang family's ancestors.

Back then, the whole family fled south to avoid the war in the north, and these ancestral tablets were carried on his back.

As long as people have not lost the ancestral tablets, their ancestors are there, and even if they are far away from home, their home is there.

Yang Che lit three incense sticks, inserted them into the incense burner respectfully, then knelt on the cushion and kowtowed three times.

Then, Yang Che clasped his hands together and reported to the ancestors about the experiences and changes of his two brothers over the past half month.

On the altar, there was an arrow hole on the tablets of his fourth grandfather and second uncle.

When the Jin troops were shooting arrows at him, one of the arrows hit the tablets he was carrying.

Yang Che was able to escape the disaster and successfully jump into the Yellow River because of the tablets of his fourth grandfather and second uncle that helped to block the danger.

He was able to swim across the river successfully thanks to the tablets tied to his body.

Yang Che burned incense for his ancestors, and then he reported the recent situation of his two brothers. The second brother was going to be a master of Hangzhou embroidery, he was promoted, the second brother was going to get married, and the Yang family would soon have a successor...

Yang Che was talking happily when he heard an angry roar from Father Song: "Little thief! Let go of my daughter!"

……

"You bastard! You don't want fame, but Miss Luxi does!" Yang Che's face turned red and he slapped Yang Yuan on the face.

"If this ruins Miss Luxi's reputation, how will you live?" Yang Che became angrier and angrier as he spoke, swinging his arms loudly.

Although... the sound of the beating on Yang Yuan was a little smaller, it still looked quite scary.

I don’t know if Old Man Song was frightened by him, but Lu Xi was scared to tears.

Yang Che seemed to be tired from the fight and stood in front of Yang Yuan panting.

When Yang Yuan looked up, he saw his elder brother hiding his hands in front of his stomach and giving him a thumbs up.

Then, Yang Che turned around, walked to Old Man Song, and sighed deeply.

"Alas! Father Song, this is my fault. I didn't teach my brother well enough. I'm sorry to Miss Luxi and to you."

Old Man Song sat on a chair, his chest rising and falling like a bellows.

Yang Yuan and Lu Xi both knelt in front of him, and little Lu Xi was already crying like a tearful child.

Yang Che paced back and forth for a few steps, then stopped and said to Old Man Song: "Old Man Song, we have to think of a perfect solution for this matter. Otherwise..." He looked at Old Man Song's face and said tentatively: "Or, just help them, what do you think?"

Luxi stopped crying all of a sudden, because she breathed in too quickly and couldn't help hiccuping.

Old Man Song had a sullen expression and said nothing.

Yang Che approached Father Song, smiled and whispered, "Father, if you really make it public, won't it ruin your Miss Luxi's reputation?

Besides, although my brother has a bad temper, his character is not bad. He is now an apprentice of the Royal Merchant Hangxiu Family, and his future is stable. Don’t you think so? "

As Yang Che spoke, he tapped his heels lightly against Yang Yuan behind him, urging him to speak.

Yang Yuan said quickly: "Dad, I really like Lu Xi. If you marry Lu Xi to me, I promise to treat her well for the rest of my life and never let her suffer any injustice."

Seeing this, Lu Xi timidly called out, "Dad~"

Old Man Song looked at Yang Che, who was smiling apologetically, then looked at Yang Yuan and Lu Xi, both kneeling in front of him. He opened his mouth and sighed heavily.

Old Man Song said to Yang Che helplessly, "Da Lang, I just asked Aunt Liu from Taipingfang to act as a matchmaker for your brother, but... what the hell is this?"

When Yang Che heard that Father Song was relieved, he hurriedly said, "What's there to be afraid of? Tomorrow morning, I will ask for leave and then go to find Mother Liu.

I said my brother has fallen in love with Miss Luxi. This is a good match that is ready-made. There is no need for Mama Liu to make an effort to match them up. Why would she be unhappy? "

"Forget it, a girl can't be kept at home when she grows up..."

Old Man Song sighed and looked up with a sad face.

Yang Che immediately turned around and glared at Yang Yuan: "You little bastard, why don't you call me daddy?"

Yang Yuan immediately kowtowed: "My son-in-law Yang Yuan, I pay my respects to you, my father-in-law..."

"Don't!"

Father Song interrupted immediately and said unhappily, "We haven't even started yet, don't take advantage of me, what are you calling me father!

Get out of here! I am annoyed by the sight of you now. If I were the same person back then, I would have cut you in half with a knife!"

Yang Che immediately chimed in: "Your father-in-law told you to get out, didn't you hear me? Get out now."

Yang Yuan got up and left, ran outside, and stood in the courtyard, still as if he hadn't woken up yet, his head was foggy. The marriage...is it settled?
In the room, Yang Che said to Lu Xi with a smile: "Lu Xi, go upstairs first, I will talk to Father Song."

"Ai!"

Lu Xi didn't expect that the situation would take such a turn and the matter that he was most concerned about was solved.

She forced herself to keep a straight face, not letting herself smile, and climbed upstairs with a sad look on her face.

Yang Che dragged over a stool and sat down in front of Old Man Song with a smile on his face.

Yang Yuan, this stinky boy, is really a dog that bites but doesn't bark! How come I didn't see that he had already coaxed Miss Luxi into his hands? Hehehe, this is really a dark place under the lamp.

He watched Lu Xi grow up. She was diligent, kind, and knew how to live. If Yang Che could marry Lu Xi to the Yang family, he would be very satisfied.

It's just that he really didn't realize that his second brother and Lu Xi had any feelings for each other before. In addition, Old Man Song had always been unfriendly to his brothers, so he had never thought of this possibility at all.

This is just great!

Yang Che forced a smile and continued to counsel Old Man Song with a heavy face.

……

Luxi returned to the attic and immediately opened the window.

As if they had telepathic connection, Yang Yuan also appeared in front of the window opposite.

They looked at each other through the rain.

Luxi blushed immediately and glared at him shyly.

It's all his fault. He made me embarrassed in front of my father.

Yang Yuan looked at Lu Xi opposite him with a smile and silently said "wife" with very standard lip movements.

Luxi understood it all at once.

In the Song Dynasty, people usually called women "niangzi". If they were familiar with a woman, they would add a surname, or call her "Gu Dasao" or "Sun Erniang" or "Hu Sanjie".

But Yang Yuan's silent "wife" at this time obviously did not have the usual meaning.

Luxi was embarrassed, frowned, and closed the window.

Yang Yuan leaned against the window, looking with interest at the silhouette of Lu Xi reflected on the opposite window.

She was still sitting on the couch, and suddenly raised her hands and covered her face.

A silhouette, like a small peach blossom reflected in the window.

Yang Yuan smiled silently.

He didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly, and suddenly, his status was determined.

The girl in the window will be his wife!
This scene is hard to describe.
This feeling is indescribable...
