The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 437 Resigning from Ping County (2)
He twisted his body again, trying to persuade the lady to go to the bed in the house...

"Let's go again. After tonight is over, the day when we will return to Ping County is far away. I really don't want to just fall asleep like this." She said softly.

"Then... listen to the lady." After hugging her hard, Min Lansheng reluctantly let go, took her palm and walked towards the street with lights.

The night got deeper.There are fewer and fewer windows with lights on the side of the road, and at this time, the moonlight is even brighter...

On the clear light all over the ground, there are two shadows that are close to each other, dragging the old elders, so that the owner of the shadows does not look lonely walking on the cold street.

On the contrary, Su Xiazhi and Min Lansheng walked quietly holding hands, as if they were enjoying the rare silence.

Familiar and unfamiliar streets passed one by one, and the two of them looked around while walking, trying their best to engrave the image of Pingxian, which they had remembered for three or four years in the night, in their minds.

"Go over there!" After entering Fuzi Street, I could smell the delicious soup from my noodle shop from afar. In order not to let the waiter standing at the door see me, Su Xiazhi pulled Min Lansheng's hand The arm went to the other side of the street.

In the shadow of one archway after another, the husband and wife quickly rushed past the bustling noodle shop, and Su Xiazhi pointed at the shape beside him after the noodle shop was thrown far behind him. Different archways said: "Are you afraid?"

"The memorial archway?" Min Lansheng looked up, then shook her head: "What's so scary about this?"

"If I don't accompany you, I will be afraid." Su Xiazhi took Min Lansheng to the middle of Fuzi Street, and stopped under the nearest archway. She raised her head and pointed to the archway above her head and said: "I I always feel that there is a person sitting on it, the owner of this archway, staring at us with a pair of big eyes at the moment..."

Standing side by side with her, Min Lansheng also looked up at the archway, and suddenly understood the meaning of her words.

Every archway seems to be a compliment to its owner, but how many people can see the cruelty and boundless loneliness behind this scenery?
Sitting on the archway of chastity is the woman who wasted her youth. They died when they were alive, and all the days are just a day-by-day accumulation of suffering...

Sitting on the Jidi archway are the days and nights of every student studying hard in the cold window, as well as the loneliness that has been tried and failed...

These are things that those who have not experienced it will never imagine.

Min Lansheng looked sideways at Su Xiazhi, who was seriously looking at the archway above her head, and felt that she had experienced a hundred years of loneliness and vicissitudes before she felt those emotions...

Who is she?The question he had asked himself many times surfaced again without warning, and then he heard her cheers: "Xiu Cai, this is from our family..."

"My lady, you belong to my family..." he whispered.

The two stopped again, and they had reached the end of the street.

The jade-white archway that rises across both sides of the street is the latest one, without too many decorations, with a simple and solemn style, and its glory belongs to Min Lansheng!
According to the unwritten rules in Pingxian County, all those who have achieved outstanding fame in the past dynasties will be rewarded by erecting a memorial archway on Fuzi Street, so that the younger students can follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and continue to live in this lonely place. On the way to study, go straight forward.

Therefore, these archways are both monuments and road signs, inspiring and guiding people from generation to generation...

Min Lansheng's best result in the exam was No. 3 in the palace exam. Such a proud result allowed him to have an archway with his name engraved on Fuzi Street without any objection.

It's just that the construction of this archway has been a lot of twists and turns. First, Min Lansheng was framed and dismissed during the preparation, and then went to prison. The preparation of the archway stopped.

After he came out, he personally stopped the construction of the archway several times, saying that he was too young to do so.

After repeating this several times, the gentry and rich men insisted on building the archway according to the usual practice. Among them, Su Xiazhi, as the head of the merchants in Ping County, paid half of the money.

"Madam, can you read the words engraved on it?"

How could Su Xiazhi, who had read it dozens of times and hundreds of times, didn't recognize the words above?
She knew that it was the scholar teasing her complacently.

So she squinted her eyes, stared at the flamboyant handwriting on the archway, and read earnestly: "Chaste and strong woman!"

"..." The smile that just broke out on Min Lansheng's face turned into a strange look. He looked at Su Xiazhi and asked, "A chaste and strong woman?"

"Yes!" Su Xiazhi nodded while suppressing a smile, "That is to say, you are a beauty with integrity..."

Min Lansheng molested the lady but was molested by her, her face blushed, and then she nodded her nose and said: "Unlearned guy, let me tell you my husband, it says Tanhua Jiji!"

"Does Tanhua Jidi know? My husband is Tanhua Lang..." When no one is around, in front of his wife, he is willing to show off so proudly, blooming without the slightest pretense, at this moment, he is all over the country...

And only Su Xiazhi can see such a peerless him.

"I know." Su Xiazhi stared at him who was so arrogant, his heart beat...

How many years have they been married?Roughly, it has been more than four years, right?It is true to say that a scholar is beautiful, but after four years of watching, no matter how beautiful things are, they should become a habit, right?

But Su Xiazhi felt that no matter how much time passed, she would be lost in his beauty...

And all of this seems to have nothing to do with beauty, this kind of situation has a very appropriate vocabulary in her last life - love!
In four years, they have long been lost in each other's love, and wanton happiness...

It was already late at night when we left Master Street, and the couple walked around the small Ping County almost all night, and they returned to the county government office at dawn.

Woke up the children, packed their bedding and clothes, squeezed into their own carriage, and left quietly with a faint smile on their faces when the city gate just opened...
