Xu Jiang said, "It doesn't matter. It's all a happy occasion." Then she asked, "After you return to the capital, will you leave again?"
"Let's go. We just have to wait until next spring, when the caravan comes to the capital again. By then, the baby will be born." A trace of tenderness and longing flashed across Ilale's unshaven face. "It's time for us to go home."
Most of the Hu people had a low status in the capital, and their descendants were called Hu slaves.
It would be good for the two of them to return to their hometown, where their children can grow up freely on the vast grasslands and deserts.
Xu Jiang asked again, "Where are you staying then? Still in Liquanfang?"
Yilale nodded. "We have friends and fellow townspeople in Liquanfang. We will feel more comfortable there."
Wu Luolan said, "We are still living in the original Sang family's washhouse. We will come to see you after we are settled, or you can come to see us later."
"All good." Xu Jiang thought of Yilaer's barbecue skills and couldn't help swallowing. "I haven't eaten Yilaer's roasted venison for a long time."
Yilale said generously, "That's not difficult at all. Now that I'm back, you can have roasted venison or roasted lamb if you want. It just so happens that I brought you some good wine. We'll personally deliver it to you someday."
When it comes to wine and meat, Xu Jiang and Manager Wang become greedy.
Xu Jiang replied, "That's fine. You can help Mr. Yuan find the books and the people. I still have the reward he gave me, so I'll just settle it with you."
When Yilale heard that there was money to pay, he was also very happy, "Then we will come to the bookstore to find you in three days."
"Okay, I'll wait to eat the meat you grilled and drink the good wine you brought."
Wuluolan said gently, "According to your Central Plains customs, this is also considered our wedding banquet."
Xu Jiang asked in surprise, "Are you getting married? When?"
"Years ago, after Ulolan and I reunited, we pledged our allegiance to the moon and became husband and wife." Yilale pointed at the caravan and said, "Our companions witnessed this."
Xu Jiang smiled from ear to ear, "Congratulations!"
Lou Yunchun said, "Then we should celebrate in style. A Jiang and I will host you in three days at our new home, Lu Ming Courtyard. We'll be waiting for you two."
Shopkeeper Wang echoed, "Good things have been happening so often lately, it's time to celebrate. Invite Brother Zeng and Brother Hu over, and have everyone get together. That would be so much fun."
Everyone laughed and responded.
Zhi Tong, who was standing by, suddenly asked Lou Yunchun, "Brother Lou, where is Brother Zhao Xiu? He said that when I come to the capital, he will treat me to the best restaurant in the capital and the best wine. I want to go find him."
Lou Yunchun was slightly surprised, then said to him, "He probably can't invite you to the best restaurant, but he can invite you to the best prison."
When Zhi Tong heard this, he was stunned.
————Xiu Er dividing line————
Dali Temple Prison.
Zhao Xiu was sleeping soundly with a book covering his head when he suddenly saw an arrow flying towards him in his dream.
He startled and woke up suddenly, then touched the raised scab on his lower back and cursed inwardly: "You damn Turkic barbarian, you didn't let me go even in my dreams."
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and the jailer called out, "Zhao Xiu, someone is looking for you."
Zhao Xiu lazily stood up and walked to the prison door. He put his hands on his hips and looked around. "Who is it?"
"Brother Zhao, it's me!" Zhi Tong quickly ran to the front of the cell, looked at Zhao Xiu, whose clothes were disheveled and whose hair was a mess, and said sadly, "Brother Zhao, how did you become like this?"
"Zhi Tong? You came to the capital?" After being surprised, Zhao Xiu couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
He has always been upright and dignified in front of Zhi Tong, but seeing him like this now, I'm afraid he will be disappointed.
However, he underestimated Zhi Tong's admiration for him. Not only did he not look down on him, but he encouraged him and believed that he would make a comeback and regain his glory after he was released from prison.
The two of them drank together among a pile of messy manuscripts.
Zhao Xiu took the wine and smelled it, and exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't this Xinfeng wine?"
"Yeah." Zhi Tong nodded. He spent most of his savings to buy this.
"Although I can't drink with Brother Zhao, I can drink with Brother Zhao." Zhi Tong raised his wine bowl and said to Zhao Xiu respectfully, "If it weren't for Brother Zhao, I wouldn't be here. This bowl of wine is for you. I wish you a speedy recovery and a bright future."
Zhao Xiu was eloquent, but at this moment he couldn't express what he felt in his heart, nor did he know how to put it into words. He just picked up the wine bowl, clinked it towards Zhi Tong, and then drank the wine in one gulp.
After drinking a bowl of wine, sparks exploded in Zhao Xiu's chest.
What a great Xinfeng wine, what a bright future!
