Chapter 440 He wants it!
Moon City.
Tong Niang walked quickly through the festively decorated courtyard, opened the study door, and said to the white-haired woman who was writing at the desk, "Miss, there's a letter from the capital."
"Give it to me." Jiang Yao put down the pen and raised her hand to pinch her stiff neck.
Tongniang handed the letter over and asked, "Is it from Miss Chu?"
Jiang Yao opened the letter, read it carefully, and nodded: "It's her."
"But what about leaving the palace?" Tong Niang's face was filled with worry. "Miss, you just became the city lord, and you've spent a lot of energy before. It's not appropriate to practice your energy now. Why not let Miss Chu wait for a few more days until you recover a little bit..."
"No, she won't leave the palace." Jiang Yao interrupted her and handed her the letter.
It turns out that he didn't leave the palace.
Tong Niang took it with some surprise. After reading the contents of the letter, she asked curiously, "Why did Miss Chu ask you to go to Guiyun City?"
"It must be a tricky matter." Jiang Yao thought for a moment and wrote back.
Tong Niang tilted her head and looked at him, her eyes widening: "Miss, it will take at least five days to get to Guiyun City. Tomorrow is the day you will get married with Young Master Cang. You..."
"Let's go together and postpone the wedding." Jiang Yao blew the ink off the paper and handed it to Tong Niang.
Tongniang's face wrinkled like a steamed bun as she advised, "Miss, the wedding has been postponed three times. They say things never happen more than three times. Postponing it again would be unlucky."
"Then let's pick another auspicious day." Jiang Yao didn't care.
According to her, it would be fine even if they got married now.
If it's a happy occasion, why must we choose an auspicious day? Doesn't getting married on an unlucky day mean it's not a happy occasion?
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Tong Niang had to compromise and said, "You have to discuss this with Young Master Cang first, right?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Yao tilted her head, "Just call him when you leave."
Tong Niang: "...We need to prepare a lot of things when we go to Guiyun City. You should send someone to tell Young Master Cang first."
"Okay." Jiang Yao said, "Tell him when you send the letter."
Tongniang is tired.
What sins did Master Cang commit in his previous life that he would fall in love with his own young lady, a piece of wood, at first sight in this life!
If it were another man, he would have run away long ago!
The reply letter arrived in the capital soon after it was sent at full speed.
After reading the letter, Chu Liuzheng felt relieved.
She asked Jiang Yao to go not just to help, but she saw on the system that Guiyun City had what Jiang Yao needed, which might be able to extend Jiang Yao's life by three to five years.
She couldn't say it directly, otherwise she couldn't explain how she knew.
She wrote a letter to Jiang Yao. If Jiang Yao was willing to go, it would be fate. If not, it would depend on whether Feng Jing could find that thing. It also depended on fate.
Fortunately, Jiang Yao was willing to go.
It's just a matter of postponing the wedding date, which can buy several years of life. I think the infatuated Young Master Cang should be willing, right?
At this time, Young Master Cang, who was riding his horse at full speed, sneezed three times in a row and tears came down.
Why do other people’s marriages go smoothly, but he has to keep delaying and postponing marrying his ideal partner?
Did he break the law of heaven in his previous life?
*
In the wing of the Guiyun City Lord's Mansion, the candlelight flickered, casting several hideous shadows on the wall.
Chu Shangming, Ren Qingxia, Pei Yunjian and Yan Chengtao, four unlucky guys, sat around the square table, holding bowls of thick red stuff, looking at each other and communicating with their eyes.
Pei Yunjian: Do you want to drink?
Yan Chengtao: Nonsense, of course I can’t drink!
Ren Qingxia: I can’t win, so I have to drink it even if I don’t want to.
Chu Shangming: Drink!
He brought the bowl to his lips and gulped down the drink. At the end, he licked his lips, a little surprised, "Sweet."
The servant rolled his eyes speechlessly. "It's brown sugar water, of course it's sweet." Did these four idiots think he was serving poison?
"It's really sweet." Ren Qingxia was the second one to drink it. He savored the taste in his mouth carefully, his expression gradually becoming strange. "It really seems like brown sugar water."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yunjian and Yan Chengtao looked at each other, each took a sip from the bowl, and then drank it all.
The servant took the empty bowl out and heard the sound of a lock being locked outside.
Chu Shangming glanced out the window and asked in confusion, "Why are we being asked to drink brown sugar water?"
"It's a custom before marriage in Guiyun City." Pei Yunjian slumped weakly on the table, rubbing his aching stomach. "I heard about it when I was asking around in the city."
Seeing his face turn pale, Ren Qingxia couldn't help but feel distressed. She stood up and sat over to him, reaching out to rub his stomach.
Yan Chengtao rolled his eyes secretly, it was too much to bear. Normally, he would have made a joke, but after being hungry for two days, he had no energy at all.
"Brother Yan, do you have a stomachache too?" Chu Shangming said enthusiastically and with concern, "Can I rub it for you?"
"Don't." Yan Chengtao refused decisively. He looked up at him and asked in confusion, "You've also been hungry for two days, so why are you still so energetic?"
Chu Shangming smiled: "Someone brought me food, so I didn't starve."
"Who?" The three of them asked almost in unison.
Chu Shangming said, "Brother Lin."
Three people: ???
"Who is that?"
"He was the one who was in charge of guarding me," Chu Shangming said. "He said I looked like his deceased sworn brother, and he couldn't bear to see me starve, so he secretly sent me some meat and steamed buns."
"I'm right next door to you, why don't you give me some?" Yan Chengtao's face was filled with grief and indignation. He was almost starving to death, and this guy was eating meat right next to him?!
"I asked you." Chu Shangming said innocently, "You said no, I thought you weren't hungry."
Yan Chengtao tried hard to recall, Chu Shangming seemed to have asked him, but didn’t Chu Shangming ask whether he wanted clothes?
He was too hungry to move. Who needs clothes in the hot summer? So he replied "No".
So, the question was whether he ate meat?
He wants it!!
Chu Shangming: "I was worried that if I asked you if you wanted to eat, someone would hear me, which would be bad for Brother Lin, so I asked in a different way." After all, it's summer and the room is not cold, so who needs clothes?
Yan Chengtao gritted his teeth: "Can't you just give it to me directly?"
"It will fall to the ground." Chu Shangming said, "Brother Yan, you don't eat anything that falls on the ground, it's a waste."
Yan Chengtao: "..."
Why are you still being so picky?
Aaaaahhh!!!
Why on earth did he follow these guys out?
This journey has made him suffer all the hardships in his life!!
He wants to go home so badly!!!
"Brother Yan, why are you crying? Brother Yan?" Seeing the tears rolling down Yan Chengtao's eyes, Chu Shangming was stunned. He quickly took out the remaining half of the cold steamed bun in his arms and said, "Brother Yan, eat..."
Before he could finish his words, Ren Qingxia quickly snatched it away, cut it in two, stuffed half into Pei Yunjian's mouth, and placed the other half next to Yan Chengtao's hand.
The two of them were so hungry that they ate voraciously, stretching their necks to swallow.
Chu Shangming hesitated and said, "...Um, don't you want some water?"
Ren Qingxia: "There's no water in the pot."
"I have it." Chu Shangming took out three palm-sized thin bamboo tubes from his trouser legs and handed half a bag of dried meat to Ren Qingxia.
The three of them almost popped their eyes out.
They were all imprisoned at the same time. Where did this guy get so many things?
Can't there be an older brother who thinks they look like his sworn brothers and takes care of them?
