Chapter 217 Marry
Lu Qianshan, still wearing his armor, followed Xie Chengyan's gaze and looked into the distance, and the figure of Xie Zhaohe unconsciously came to his mind.
Before he left Beijing, he was still angry with Xie Zhaohe and didn't even say goodbye. At that time, Lu Qianshan felt that they still had a long time to live together. After the failure in Beijing, he would return to Beijing and there would always be a chance for them to reconcile. However, he didn't expect that separation would be forever.
Lu Qianshan suddenly sighed: "It would be nice if she really misses me, even if it's not because I'm her husband?"
He is a close friend, a chess piece, everything is good, just don't forget him.
The evening breeze blew up the copper bells on the eaves, and the haze that had been lingering in the capital for the past few days dissipated. It was not as cold as it had been in the past two days.
Lu Qianshan said: "Since there is nothing happening in the capital, I will leave for the imperial mausoleum tomorrow."
"Something's going on in the capital," Xie Chengyan replied. "I'm getting married. Would you like to have a drink before leaving?"
Lu Qianshan laughed, but it wasn't a big laugh. He teased, "Is it appropriate for you to tell me this? Are you causing me trouble?"
He had just lost his wife and was about to attend Xie Chengyan's wedding. If he and Xie Chengyan had not known each other since childhood, he would have thought that he was provoking him and turned away.
But Xie Chengyan was not that kind of person. He just said, "My second sister was supposed to arrange my wedding, but she's not here right now. How about you, her brother-in-law, do it for her?"
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lights on Zhuque Street were overwhelming. Ye Lanzhou was squeezed into the crowd by Xie Chengyan, holding his hand. The two of them were wearing casual clothes and blended into the crowd without looking out of place.
The capital had finally settled down recently, and since it happened to be the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the two of them went out of the palace for a stroll.
When passing by Xinglinchun, I saw that the lights in the house were still on. Yang Jiyu was busy inside and didn't notice the two people outside.
Seeing that Xinglinchun had many customers at the moment, the two of them did not go in to disturb them.
Xie Chengyan asked, "Didn't she give you the Xinglinchun?"
Ye Lanzhou glanced at Yang Jiyu and replied, "The Pei Mansion has been raided. Pei Xuan alone probably can't hold it together."
She turned around and smiled faintly, as if relieved: "This is also good. For her, it is better to be in the pharmacy than in the inner courtyard."
As she was talking, someone bumped into Ye Lanzhou from behind and she didn't react.
"Be careful." Xie Chengyan suddenly put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. Ye Lanzhou fell into his arms, her elbows resting on his chest.
The riverbank was crowded with people setting off lanterns. Ye Lanzhou squatted on the bluestone steps, watching Xie Chengyan clumsily dismantle the bamboo frame of the lotus lantern.
He didn't seem to have done anything like this...
"I'll do it." Ye Lanzhou took the lamp stand, and in just a few seconds, a lamp appeared in his hand.
Thousands of lotus lanterns were floating in the moat. Ye Lanzhou held the last one with his fingertips and put it into the water. The lotus lantern gradually drifted away along the river.
"It's my turn." Xie Chengyan suddenly held her cold hand, and his black robe sleeves brushed across the water, and a plain white lamp without any words floated out steadily.
Looking at the white lotus lantern, he asked in surprise, "Don't make a wish?"
The evening breeze twirled his hair, and the lights reflected in his eyes: "My wish is not in the lights, but in front of me."
He turned around suddenly, and at this moment he only felt his heart beating violently, and the hand holding her hand trembled unconsciously.
"Will you..." He rubbed her palm with his fingertips: "Marry me?"
Ye Lanzhou's fingertips trembled, and the lotus lantern hit the stone steps, causing the candlelight to shake violently.
"No harems, no forced marriages. You are my only wife." He grasped her hand as she tried to withdraw it, and said sincerely, "We will sleep together in life and in death—"
Before she finished speaking, a kiss fell on Xie Chengyan's face, and she whispered, "I will marry you."
