Chapter 185
My love for you will not fade with time
Isn't Fu Xunzhou just trying to ask Xiao Yue indirectly what she thinks about getting married?
The reason why he is hesitant to say something is not because he is not full of love, but because he is too full of love to say it.
Xiao Yue was fully focused on Yue Ting's self-help. If he wanted to discuss engagement and marriage, it would take more than a day or two.
Fu Xunzhou took Xiao Yue's thoughts as his guide, respected her, understood her, and therefore chose not to say it out loud.
But someone he knew was getting married in such a festive atmosphere, so Fu Xunzhou was naturally extremely envious.
I'm afraid this person has been feeling jealous all the way.
Xiao Yue half-closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the chest of the person behind him.
The two looked at each other.
A smile appeared on Fu Xunzhou's stern face, and he whispered, "Close your eyes and rest for a while. I'll call you at the dinner."
"good."
night.
There were several tables at the wedding banquet, and the rich aroma filled the entire banquet hall.
Su Xiaoxiao was in charge of this part. In order not to damage her reputation as the general manager of Yueting Buffet, she was determined to ensure that the guests enjoyed their meals and drinks.
At least everyone at Xiao Yue's table enjoyed their meal to their heart's content, and their favorite was the three-in-one sashimi platter in the middle.
But since there are so many of them, everything they eat tastes delicious.
After the meal, the guests in the mansion gradually dispersed.
Xiao Yue had heard that Liuyun City had a custom of making trouble in the bridal chamber for newlyweds, but many people hated it.
Minor cases are fine, and can be treated simply as a way to add to the fun, with the couple's consent; serious cases can become a mess and end with a dark face.
However, in recent years, this custom has been gradually abandoned.
Xiao Yue heard from Su's mother early in the morning that there would not be any bridal chamber ceremony tonight.
In this regard, Xiao Yue and the sisters in the shop agreed with both hands, and only said a few private words to Su Xiaoxiao before leaving.
It's getting dark, and the rest of the time belongs to the newlyweds.
Before leaving, Xiao Yue saw Su Xiaoxiao's happy face.
The most proud things in the world are the wedding night and passing the imperial examination.
As long as Xiao Yue sees the sisters around her living a good life, she will be sincerely happy for them.
——
After coming to Liuyun City with great difficulty, it was impossible for them to go back the next day.
Xiao Yue gave Su Xiaoxiao a holiday, and also gave Yue Ting a holiday, so that everyone could relax enough before returning to their posts.
It was early summer and the weather was not too hot.
At Sun Wen's suggestion, everyone decided to have a picnic on the wild grass slope outside the city.
Although it is called Wild Grass Slope, in fact the scenery here is not bad at all, with a wide view, green grass and flying flowers, it is like a small grassland suitable for play.
On the day of the picnic, everyone set out in a large group, carrying all kinds of food and drinks. At first glance, you might have thought they were going to set up a stall.
Su Xiaoxiao is here too.
Xiao Yue lagged behind the team to get something, and only heard them chatting when he got closer.
"No." Su Xiaoxiao said shyly: "He and I have no such plan."
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Yue couldn't help but be curious, so he put down what he was holding and asked casually.
Hua Jinjin on the side said: "I'm asking Xiaoxiao how her life will change after getting married, and when she's going to have a child!"
Xiao Yue raised an eyebrow.
Su Xiaoxiao felt even more embarrassed, but she didn't hide anything from her sisters.
"Life hasn't changed much, except that we used to bicker a lot, but now he just giggles and I don't know what he's laughing at. Maybe he realizes that he can't beat me! As for whether to have children, I haven't decided yet. Giving birth is painful..."
When Su Xiaoxiao thought of this, she couldn't help but frown.
Well, she herself is not very old.
After hearing this, the sisters around started chattering about what preparations they would have to make if they wanted to have a baby, and if they were really afraid of the pain, they might as well just not give birth!
Hearing this, Fang Sanhong held his forehead helplessly.
Xiao Yue thought for a moment and said, "The damage to the body caused by having a child is irreversible, and it does require careful consideration. My suggestion is to give priority to your thoughts and Cheng Min second."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her, her expression lost in thought, and nodded: "Okay, I know, thank you Sister Xiao!"
"I actually won't consider this within two years. It's mainly because the sisters asked me today, so I told them. My focus now is still on Yueting Self-help. I really like doing these things. I feel full of rewards every day, and I have my own joy. The time I spend with the sisters is happier than ever!"
Su Xiaoxiao will always be Su Xiaoxiao, with her own ideas and steps, and will not be trapped somewhere and unable to get out.
No matter what she wants to do, the ideals in her heart will always support her.
Xiao Yue smiled lightly and said no more about it. He called everyone over to set the table and serve the food.
Let the picnic begin!
*
Xiao Yue was in high spirits during this trip to Liuyun City.
Unfortunately, happy days always pass by in the blink of an eye, and it is time to return to the capital.
In the first half of the journey, Fu Xunzhou was still driving the carriage, and then Xiao Yue took over.
Halfway through the journey, they passed by a lake that looked like a fairyland. It was getting dark, so Xiao Yue planned to stay there for the night.
There is no need to rush on the way back. It is better to take a rest to avoid fatigue.
Xiao Yue took Fu Xunzhou's hand and went to the lake to play. They found a special blue flower in the lake and couldn't help but marvel.
“So pretty!”
Xiao Yue had never seen this kind of flower before and couldn't help wanting to pick one.
Fu Xunzhou did not stop her. He stood a little further away from the shore, reached out and held her other hand, and let her pick the fruits steadily.
There were many blue flowers in this area. Xiao Yue picked one and quickly stood up.
Looking closer, the blue flower looks like a smaller rose, and the stamen in the center is a light platinum color. At first glance, it looks like a small star.
Fu Xunzhou had never seen this kind of flower before, and when she asked, he couldn't tell what it was called.
“I see…”
Xiao Yue stretched out his tone, his eyes moving around, and suddenly he stretched out his hand to put the flower on Fu Xunzhou's ear.
However, it did not succeed. Perhaps it was because Fu Xunzhou was too tall and was intercepted by Xiao Yue halfway before he could even touch him.
Before Xiao Yue could react, Fu Xunzhou put his arm around her waist, twisted the flower with his fingertips, and put it on her ear with his backhand.
"nice."
“…”
Xiao Yue temporarily broke away from the hand around his waist, curled the corners of his mouth, and took the initiative to tiptoe and move forward.
The soft touch disappeared as soon as it came into contact. Fu Xunzhou's eyes darkened and he took the initiative to deepen the kiss.
They originally came here to enjoy the lakeside scenery, but somehow they ended up fooling around in the carriage.
When Xiao Yue came to his senses, it was already completely dark. The oil lamp was lit in the carriage, but Fu Xunzhou was no longer visible.
Listening carefully, I heard light footsteps outside the carriage.
Xiao Yue's eyelashes were moist and there was a satisfied look in her eyes. She lay on the soft couch and didn't want to move.
After a while, Fu Xunzhou came back and closed the carriage door naturally.
Xiao Yue raised her eyelids and looked at him. It was obvious from her lazy look that she was asking him what he was doing.
"Sprinkle some insect repellent powder and add some animal traps. The forest is not very peaceful at this time of year." Fu Xunzhou paused and added, "Cheng Min specifically reminded me before we set off."
Cheng Min reminded you?
Xiao Yue blinked in confusion. No matter what, it must be Duan Lin, his subordinate and chief guard, who reminded him, right?
But now Duan Lin has been promoted and is taking over the affairs of Liuyun City on behalf of Fu Xunzhou. Cheng Min, a talented person who has joined the City Lord's Mansion not long ago but has made outstanding achievements, is now almost his right-hand man...
Looking at it this way, there is nothing wrong with his reminder.
But is that really all you said?
The carriage was dim, Xiao Yue's eyes moved slightly, and she bit her lips gently and said, "I can't sleep, come and hold me and chat with me."
"Okay." Fu Xunzhou naturally would not refuse and walked over quietly.
They both liked the feeling of their bodies pressed together.
But they wanted to chat, so Xiao Yue just lay down lazily when Fu Xunzhou came over, not wanting to move a finger, let alone move his mouth.
I was really tired just now.
I don’t know how much time passed.
"you……"
"I……"
They both spoke at the same time.
Xiao Yue took advantage of his pause and immediately said, "You speak first."
"Nothing." Fu Xunzhou held her hand tightly, and his tone changed slightly: "I just want to ask what you think about getting married."
Are you finally willing to ask?
Xiao Yue, who was planning to talk about this matter, smiled, hiding the curve of his mouth in the dim light, pretending to be unaware.
"What do you think? This is a good thing. As long as two people love and respect each other, they will definitely be happy as a couple. However..."
When she changed the subject, Fu Xunzhou held his breath.
Feeling his muscles become stiff, Xiao Yue found it even funnier, but her tone became more serious.
"The things you have to do and the problems you face after getting married are very different from the previous mutual understanding between the two people. Some people go from being a loving couple to hating each other, some go from being respectful to inseparable, and some even go so far as to act completely different before and after marriage, and take the opportunity to mess around when they feel they can't leave the other person."
"Messing around?" Fu Xunzhou was confused at first, but he soon understood why she said that.
Xiao Yue said softly: "Many people are unable to save themselves and can only be trapped in it. The other party often takes advantage of the situation and bullies others."
Of course there are ways to live a happy marriage, but that’s all it takes to have no worries before getting married.
The carriage fell silent.
Xiao Yue felt Fu Xunzhou's hold on her getting stronger, but fearing that she would feel uncomfortable, he quickly let go.
The next second, she heard a hoarse voice above her head.
"Xiao Yue, for me, getting married means having a home with the person you love, which is the most beautiful thing in the world."
Although Fu Xunzhou was born like this, he didn't know what love was before. Why would a person fall in love with another person?
He understood all this after he met Xiao Yue.
"Before in Beijing, I heard you say that Su Xiaoxiao and Cheng Min were going to get married, and I had the idea in my mind whether we would do the same, but I never told you. Until I officially attended the wedding banquet, I was envious and looking forward to such a day... But I know that you are free, you can make any decision in front of me, and I will always support you."
"We may have to wait a long time for that day, or we may have to keep the status quo, but no matter what, I will be by your side and let all the light shine on you."
What Fu Xunzhou wanted to express was very clear. He wanted to marry Xiao Yue, but he chose to respect her ideas and was willing to make concessions for her career.
Because even if we don’t get married, what’s the harm?
Fu Xunzhou will always love Xiao Yue and stay with her forever.
Today might be the day when there was the most silence during the conversation between the two of them in all the time they have been together.
After a long time, Xiao Yue turned over and held his cheeks with both hands.
Their eyes met, and their gazes flickered in the dim candlelight.
Xiao Yue said: "There are thousands of painful aspects of marriage, but getting married itself is a beautiful thing. I say so much not because I am afraid, but because I take this matter very seriously."
"You also said that you would support my idea. So Ah Zhou, I will tell you clearly now that I will develop Yueting Self-help in the next three years. One day when I have some time to rest, I will consider marrying you."
She said that she would consider it, not that she would immediately finalize the matter three years later.
But at this moment, Fu Xunzhou's breathing became rapid, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yue, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Okay, I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes, my love for you will not fade with the passage of time, I will love you more and more."
Xiao Yue smiled: "I know, but if there is such a day, I don't want to be so tired. Do you know that you can get married while traveling and playing in the mountains and rivers? And..."
She talked about several ways of getting married.
The more Fu Xunzhou listened, the more excited he became, and he responded, "It sounds very special. If that's the case, it will definitely be imprinted in my mind for the rest of my life."
lifetime?
not enough.
Fu Xunzhou thought that he would try his best to meet Xiao Yue and become her husband, even in the next life or the next.
The night is dark outside the window, and love is surging inside the window.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yue kissed Fu Xunzhou's closed eyes.
——
The carriage passed through the capital city, stayed for half a day and then continued on its journey.
The third branch in Beijing is still under preparation, but the one in Yuxi City is about to open, so Xiao Yue must go there.
On the second half of her way back, she carefully asked the store manager in Yuxi City whether the man from the neighboring country would come again.
The answer is: Yes.
This time, the Yuxicheng store manager found out from the poor Dachen dialect that the other party was indeed here to request that Yueting Self-service Store open a branch in the neighboring country. His attitude was very humble and he would agree to any condition.
Xiao Yue asked about it in detail, such as the local customs and culture, and how are the delicious food there?
An unexpected but reasonable answer emerged: most of the food there was similar to modern fast food.
However, there are no hamburgers, chicken rolls, fried rice or fried noodles yet.
Xiao Yue had been planning to do this series, and now seems to be a suitable time.
However, instead of waiting until a branch is opened in a neighboring country, the Yuxi City branch can launch this new series this time, which can be regarded as an advance warm-up.
Xiao Yue had a very clear plan for the future. He stopped in the capital to sort out his affairs before continuing on his journey.
Fu Xunzhou originally wanted to go with them, but the matter he had handled before had come to an end and he needed to take care of it.
Hearing that Xiao Yue would be gone for at least three months, Fu Xunzhou said he would go find her as soon as he had dealt with the matter.
Xiao Yue was so amused by his anxious look that she got into the carriage, blew him a kiss, and left without looking back.
Yuxi City is neither far nor near from the capital, and the journey takes about five days.
When Xiao Yue was about to arrive, a heavy rain suddenly fell and the coachman had to slow down the carriage.
Seeing her sad face, Xiao Yue stretched and said, "Get into the carriage to avoid the rain. We will set off again at dawn tomorrow."
"Okay."
The carriage is large, with two people each at one end.
After dinner, Xiao Yue opened the car window curtain and saw that the rain showed no sign of stopping, and there was even white fog all around.
She didn't pay much attention to it, yawned, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
At daybreak, Xiao Yue heard a noisy sound, but her whole head seemed to be covered by a big drum.
Xiao Yue couldn't open his eyes. His limbs seemed to be tied up and he couldn't move at all. He just felt very sleepy.
When her consciousness finally fell into chaos, she lost consciousness completely.
Capital city.
Fu Xunzhou was just instructing his confidant on the final matters when hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Everyone in this mansion has been carefully selected and trained, and there would never be such a misconduct.
Fu Xunzhou frowned slightly, and the moment he realized something, his dark brown pupils instantly contracted.
As expected, the secret guards who rushed in were all wounded. They were the ones responsible for Xiao Yue's safety, and they were almost hanging on to their last breath.
"Your Highness! Madam Xiao was ambushed and captured by the people of Xifeng Country! The King of Xifeng Country asked Your Highness to rescue her alone, otherwise..."
Before he could finish his words, the secret guard could no longer bear it and fainted on the ground.
There was deathly silence all around, and the smell of blood filled the entire room.
When Fu Guihuang, who was in the Golden Dragon Palace, learned about this, he stopped teasing a man with his toes and his face instantly turned ugly.
"What?!"
There are dark clouds and yellow sand in the sky.
Fu Xunzhou didn't know how long he had been riding the horse. He only knew that his ears were still ringing and everything he saw was scarlet.
The moment they finally arrived at Tacheng, which belonged to the West Wind Kingdom, a group of soldiers surrounded them.
Fu Xunzhou raised his head and looked towards the city wall. The coldness of the flying arrows was reflected in his eyes. He drew out his sword and blocked it with a "bang".
There were more and more sharp arrows, but Fu Xunzhou's hands did not relax.
Until a familiar figure appeared on the city wall. It was a bearded man holding Xiao Yue in his hands.
Xiao Yue's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
Xiaoyue!
Fu Xunzhou's rapid breathing stopped suddenly, and he stared at her intently, pausing for a moment.
At this moment, the sharp arrow shot straight into his chest.
"Fu Xunzhou!!"
Dark clouds covered the city, heavy rain poured down, and Fu Guihuang's shrill cries echoed throughout the world.
