"Oh, okay, let's talk about it later." Yuchi Ziling was a straightforward person. Apart from martial arts and weapons, he had no habit of asking questions about other things. He responded and said he was going back.
It was not yet noon when we returned to the inn. After a short rest and lunch, we set off again towards the new city.
Jiang Hai and Yuchi Ziling didn't know that Xincheng was now as lively as a festival because of their upcoming marriage.
In the carriage, Jiang Hai was still lying flat, sleeping under the silk fan of Yuchi Ziling.
Cai'er and Hong'er had become like sisters after spending so much time together. This was mainly because Hong'er would hide snacks and feed one to the hamster from time to time. As she fed them so much, their bond naturally deepened.
The carriage and horses traveled in this uneventful manner for two or three days and arrived at Dongshan County.
Hearing Yuchi Ziling calling him to get up, it was time to get off the bus. Jiang Hai was in a good mood. After arriving in Dongshan County, he could get back to Xincheng in another day.
Jiang Hai half jumped up and sat up. With a "click", Yuchi Ziling's silk fan was broken by him.
"Uh, I didn't mean it." Jiang Hai said embarrassedly.
Yuchi Ziling picked it up and took a look. It was broken very cleanly, so it must be beyond saving. But she didn't feel too bad and said,
"It's okay, it's just a fan. Just give me your fan when you come back to pay your respects."
The wedding etiquette at that time did not require the use of a silk fan, a folding fan would also be acceptable, so it was not a big problem.
Jiang Hai could only chuckle twice, said okay, and handed the folding fan to Yuchi Ziling.
But he felt rather uncomfortable. The thought of Yuchi Ziling holding the fan and stepping into the Jiang family with her face half covered made him feel very upset. He felt as if the whole family had been scolded by her. Of course, he was the only one who had this thought; no one else would have it.
Jiang Hai got off the carriage and stayed at an inn in Dongshan County tonight. He would set off early tomorrow morning and arrive in Xincheng in the evening.
By this time, everyone had gotten used to this kind of rush, and no unexpected situations had occurred. The night passed peacefully.
The next morning, the group set out again back to Xincheng in high spirits.
It was a day later than expected. We deliberately slowed down on the main road to wait for Qin Bai and the others to come back and meet up, and then stopped in Nanzhou City for half a day.
So, after returning to Xincheng today, the wedding will be in two days.
…
The capital, the general's mansion.
Su Hui has been very worried since Yuchi Zhong went to war, and she has even lost her appetite.
That day, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Hai had given Yuchi Zhong a cage of carrier pigeons.
After hesitating for a long time, around noon, Su Hui couldn't help but write two or three notes, tied them to the pigeon's legs, and released it.
At this time, it is usually necessary to release several carrier pigeons to deliver messages, in case if there is only one pigeon, it may fail to fly and the message will not be received.
Yuchi Shuang was just about to call her mother to dinner when she saw her releasing the carrier pigeon and asked,
"Mother, let's go eat. Is this a message for my sister?"
Su Hui nodded and said yes, then went back to eat with Yuchi Shuang.
As she walked, Su Hui regretted that she shouldn't have told this to people in southern Xinjiang.
"Hey, what's wrong with me? Your sister is getting married, and I told her that your father is going to war. It really adds to their worries."
"Mom, don't blame yourself. It's better to tell your sister. She will know the truth sooner or later." Yuchi Shuang comforted her.
Su Hui sighed. It had come to this, and there was nothing else to do. She thought about it, calculated the date, and realized tomorrow was her daughter's wedding. Since pigeons weren't supposed to fly before the wedding, she felt a little relieved.
…
Binhai County Government Office.
There was a chessboard on the desk in the lobby. Jiang Hai and Mr. Liu were leaning against the desk, each holding their cheeks, stroking the black and white chess pieces in their hands.
"Master, let's stop playing after this round."
Master Liu was absent-minded, glancing at the "Three Blossoms of Plum Blossoms" placed aside.
That’s right, Uncle Huang’s “Plum Blossoms” series has a new book out.
When Jiang Hai arrived in Binhai County, he thought he was home and was very happy.
Unexpectedly, Wu Gong and others arrived in Binhai County first and waited there. They told him that his stepmother asked them to stay in Binhai County first and go to Xincheng to get married on the auspicious day.
Jiang Hai has been bored these past two days. Every day when he has nothing to do, he would go to the county government office to chat with Mr. Liu. Sometimes he would ask Mr. Liu to play chess with him, sometimes he would play Go, and now he wants to play Gobang.
As an elder, Master Liu was naturally kind and compassionate, and agreed to all of Jiang Hai's requests. However, this elder's kindness only lasted for half a day, and Master Liu couldn't stand it anymore.
The main thing is that the new book was sent to the new city, and the old man changed his mind. Playing chess with Jiang Hai can be said to be a year.
"Okay, but Old Liu, I have nowhere to spend my time if I don't play chess. Why don't you come with me to the Pin Ming Lou for tea and snacks?"
"..." Master Liu had a constipated expression on his face, "If you want more, please let Wu Gong accompany you."
"Hey, he's very busy with martial arts, I'm embarrassed to look for him."
Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows. In fact, he knew that Master Liu was anxious to read the book, so he deliberately did something bad.
"How about Wenzhi go with you?"
"Hey, forget about Wenzhi. He follows me around every day, and now that I have nothing to do, I should give him some personal freedom."
"..." Master Liu wanted to cry but had no tears. Why did this guy only target him?
"Young Master, how about I go with you?" Wang Tao, who was standing aside watching the battle, spoke up.
Jiang Hai muttered to himself, "A Tao is a bit clueless. Can't you tell he's just teasing Master Liu?" Why doesn't he learn from A Bing, who's just as polite and clever?
"Oh, forget it, I'll go by myself. Tao, you stay at the county government office with Old Liu."
Jiang Hai placed a piece, connecting five pieces, and then stood up and left.
At this time, Cai'er came from the backyard and saw Jiang Hai walking out of the lobby.
"Master, the young lady is looking for you."
"Okay." Jiang Hai had nothing to do at the moment. When he heard his wife was looking for him, he happily followed Cai'er and asked, "Cai'er, what does my wife want to talk to me about?"
"I don't know. The lady didn't say."
Since he couldn't find out anything, Jiang Hai didn't ask any further. After a while, he arrived at Yuchi Ziling's residence.
"Madam, what's the matter? Do you want to learn how to shoot?" Jiang Hai started talking nonsense as soon as he entered the room.
"No," Yuchi Ziling frowned slightly, "I've been feeling a bit depressed these past two days. Why don't you go out for a walk with me?"
"Oh," Jiang Hai thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's pre-wedding anxiety. Don't be nervous, it's good to go out and relax. Let's go."
So Jiang Hai took Yuchi Ziling out.
Following behind her were the Rainbow Group. Initially, Yuchi Ziling had been learning embroidery from Hong'er in the house. Having nothing else to do in the county government office these past two days, she asked Hong'er to teach her how to embroider something to pass the time.
"Where do you want to go?" Jiang Hai turned around and asked.
