Chapter 859
859
Neither of their hands were smooth. They did farm work when they were young, and later did a lot of physical work. Both of them had calluses on their hands. It was not very comfortable to hold hands together, but neither of them was willing to separate hands, and their palms were very hot.
Yuanbao secretly glanced at Yang Shiming and found that there was a smile in Yang Shiming's eyes. He rarely saw Yang Shiming smile like this. He was stunned for a moment and turned his head away in panic, but he couldn't help laughing.
It was almost evening, and Yang Shiming suggested not going home for dinner today, but eating out. He found a nice little restaurant.
This little restaurant is quite special, it is on a boat by the river.
The two ignored the gazes of passers-by and walked to the river hand in hand. Yuanbao saw a row of fishing boats with sheds. The guests were going to board the boats and eat on them.
You can enjoy the scenery in a small enclosed space without being disturbed by anyone. This special scene is particularly romantic.
Yuanbao liked this place at once. He picked a small boat and was about to go up, but Yang Shiming got up first and turned around to help him.
When Yuanbao was with him, he felt that he was being taken care of by him all the time. He used to think that he was an independent person and couldn't get used to being taken care of by others, but now he really enjoys it and even thinks it's nice to have someone who likes him and takes care of him.
This small restaurant specializes in fish, all of which are freshly caught from the river and are extremely fresh.
The two ordered food and looked at each other without saying a word, feeling somewhat shy.
Yuanbao used to talk a lot, but after he found out that Yang Shiming liked him, he became much more reserved, but not as quiet as he is now.
Yang Shiming would also find some topics to talk about on weekdays. Yuanbao always lived in his own little world. Although he had met many people, they were all about business. Yang Shiming could always talk about things beyond his knowledge. He was often fascinated by what he heard and always said, "Is this something I can listen to without spending any money?"
He felt that he was getting a good deal by chatting with Yang Shiming, as he could listen to lectures from a famous teacher without paying any money. Yang Shiming always made many difficult things very interesting, and his personality was not annoying.
Yuanbao used to often encounter men who talked big in front of him. Those men always wanted to teach him something and treated him like a fool, thinking he knew nothing. They would explain to him things that a three-year-old child knew, in order to show their erudition in front of him.
This kind of person is the one Yuanbao hates the most and is the most disgusting one, but he cannot afford to offend the customer, so he puts on a smiling face and gets furious when he gets home.
But when Yang Shiming talked to him, even though he was very knowledgeable and not one of those ignorant men who pretended to be knowledgeable, but was more humble than those men, he always put him on an equal footing and respected him.
This is the reason why Yuanbao is willing to continue to contact him.
Today is a special day. Many people are releasing lanterns and making wishes by the river. Yuanbao saw a group of lanterns floating by the river and couldn't help but lean on the window frame to look outside. "How beautiful."
Seeing Yuanbao's envious face, Yang Shiming stood up and went out to ask the waiter to buy two river lanterns. He was very efficient and never procrastinated when he said he would do something, especially Yuanbao's matters, which he would do without saying a word.
He handed the river lanterns he bought to Yuanbao, one for each person.
"This wish is very accurate. Every year I come here to release river lanterns and make a wish for wealth. Every year I make more money than the previous year." Yuanbao said excitedly: "If you have any wishes, maybe one."
Yang Shiming put the river lantern into the river and watched it drift away: "I hope we can get married."
Yuanbao was originally releasing a river lantern, but when he heard this, his hands almost shook and he flipped the lantern over.
He thought Yang Shiming was joking, but when he turned around, he saw that Yang Shiming looked serious. It didn't seem like he was joking at all, but seemed like he was seriously planning how to achieve his goal.
Yuanbao knew that many people were homosexual, but no one actually married a man. Even if there were such people among the common people, it had never been heard of in the official circles. It would be very difficult for the two of them to get married.
However, he did not spoil the mood of becoming famous for his poetry, because he knew that many people who made a wish knew that their wish would never come true the moment they made it.
He thought Yang Shiming should also know this. He said it out loud only because he regarded the river lanterns as a beautiful hope, or perhaps a way to vent his emotions.
…
Yuanbao originally didn't know how to tell Ye Gou after returning home, but Ye Gou had recently gone to live in the military camp, and he heard that he would be leaving for the border again soon.
Yuanbao was not at home, and they were the only two people at home. After returning home in the evening, he shyly pulled Yang Shiming's hand and said, "Today, why don't we go to my room..."
Yang Shiming paused. He did not expect to be invited by Yuanbao. He was very restrained and said, "Is it too fast?"
"You think I'm too impatient?" Yuan Bao was shy to begin with, and was a little angry when he was rejected. "Do you really think of me as your brother? I often heard my cousin say that if you want to pursue excitement, you should do it to the end. We are already together, so I naturally want to see more different sides of you. Let's have some excitement today."
Yuan Bao said, tiptoeing next to his ear: "For example... I want to meet Lord Yang without clothes."
After he said this, he saw Yang Shiming's ears turned red. This was really a major discovery! Yang Shiming's ears turned red too. He couldn't help but reach out and touch Yang Shiming's ears. The tips of Yang Shiming's ears felt a little cold. He actually had protruding ears, which he had never noticed before.
They had almost no physical contact before, and today holding hands was the most intimate thing. Now I touched his ear, just his ear, but my heart trembled.
Yang Shiming grabbed his hand and leaned over to stare at him. Normally, Yang Shiming's eyes were usually gentle when he looked at him, but today they were a little different. They were aggressive, but he was suppressing them.
Yuanbao's body was trembling slightly. He felt like he was about to be eaten by him at any time. He was afraid and expectant at the same time.
He saw Yang Shiming leaning over, one hand around his lower back, slowly approaching him. He was so surprised that his eyes widened, "Here? In the yard? Isn't this a bit too exciting?"
Yang Shiming originally wanted to kiss him, but after hearing what he said, she did not continue, but smiled with her lips pursed.
"What are you laughing at?" Yuanbao scratched his hair, wondering if he had embarrassed himself just now.
The two looked at each other again, trying to create an atmosphere again, and then they heard a "bang" next to them, and the door was pushed open by the wild dog.
The wild dog had a very ferocious look on his face and walked a few steps towards them. Yuanbao thought he was going to kill someone, but he didn't do anything. He just covered his chest, spit out blood, and fainted on the ground.
Yuan Bao was startled and ran over to pick him up, but the wild dog was tall and strong, with the body of a general, so he couldn't hold him.
IA
Don't move.
Yang Shiming, who looked like a scholar, helped the man up and said, "Tell the driver to get the doctor. I'll help him in."
Yuanbao, who was originally at a loss, heard his words and hurried to call the coachman.
The driver had just pulled the carriage to the door when Yang Shiming got out and got on the carriage. "I'll go get a doctor I know well. He's hard to get, and I have to go there in person to get him. You go and see him first."
"Okay." Yuanbao hurried back into the room, saw the wild dog lying on the bed with a bad look on his face, and sat down beside the bed and started crying.
He didn't expect that Ye Gou would be so devastated by this incident. He always regarded Ye Gou as his younger brother and closest family member. It was impossible for him to be with Ye Gou. After knowing what Ye Gou thought of him, he tried his best to avoid Ye Gou when he was with Yang Shiming.
He thought the wild dog would not come back today, but he never expected that he would run into it anyway.
Yang Shiming came back very quickly. The doctor took a look at the wild dog's condition, pressed the acupoints and performed acupuncture. After a long time, the dog finally woke up, but was very weak.
The doctor prescribed some medicine for him, told the family cook how long to cook it, and then left.
After a while of busy work in the room, it became quiet again. Yuanbao sat in front of the bed and fed him medicine, but he vomited it all out. His face was gray and he looked like he was going to die at any moment. This reminded Yuanbao of how his parents and grandmother looked before they died. He was terrified and cried even harder, "We are not together anymore. I don't want to be with him anymore. Please don't die."
Wild Dog held his hand with his backhand, very tightly, as if he wanted to embed his hand into his own palm. He stared at him intently for a long while, then slowly exhaled, and pulled Yang Shiming's hand over, holding their hands tightly together.
The wild dog gestured with his hands: Don’t cry.
After he finished demonstrating, his head tilted and he fainted again.
Yuanbao was busy again. The next day, the wild dog gradually recovered. He was originally a mute, but Yuanbao felt that he became even more silent.
Wild Dog has changed. He no longer competes with Yang Shiming. He has become a good brother, as if he acknowledged that they are together.
But Yuanbao didn't dare to show how close he was to Yang Shiming in front of him.
He even asked Yang Shiming to move out temporarily for fear of upsetting Wild Dog, but Wild Dog stopped Yang Shiming from moving out. He also said that he would move out and asked if the two of them would get married. He would be going to the border in a while and wanted to see them get married before leaving.
If they couldn't get married, he wouldn't acknowledge Yang's reputation as a poet.
Yang Shiming felt that this was a test for himself. The wild dog seemed to be telling him that if he could not bring happiness to Yuanbao, he would drive him away.
Yuanbao felt that this was a difficult matter. It would be fine if they could just hold the event in a formality, and only they knew about the format. It would be fine if Ye Gou, the third and fourth brothers, and Liu Ya could come and participate.
Yang Shiming thought about how Yuanbao had said before that he wanted to give being with him a try, and he was not sure whether to get married or not.
He privately asked Yuanbao about his opinion. Yuanbao had already started preparing for the wedding. He had said before that he would give it a try, but it was just a talk. Now that it has started, they are ready to be together for the rest of their lives.
He also told Yang Shiming about his wedding plan: "I plan to set up two tables in the yard, no, one table should be enough, invite all friends to eat at home, just for the formality, don't worry, I won't let your mother know, nor will I let your colleagues know."
"I won't let you marry me so hastily. I will give you an explanation." Yang Shiming said and left.
Yuanbao looked confused, wondering if he should go home and tell his mother? His mother is not someone you want to mess with. Yuanbao was a little scared, fearing that Yang's mother would come looking for him again.
A few days later, news of an earth-shaking event came from the capital. The premise was that Yang Shiming had done a job well, and the emperor wanted to reward him. When asked what he wanted, he said he wanted the emperor to grant him a marriage with Yuanbao.
This was the first time that the ministers heard that an official asked the emperor to grant him a marriage with a man. Was Yang Shiming crazy?
Yang Shiming was a little crazy. At first, he listened to Cheng Yeran. Even if he couldn't get the recognition of his family and the world, he could still date Yuanbao privately. As long as they lived well, they didn't have to care about other people's opinions. It was okay at the beginning, but later he didn't want Yuanbao to suffer this grievance. He wanted to love openly.
If I get married, I will definitely not be able to get past my mother's approval. If I ask the emperor to grant the marriage, my mother will not be able to say anything.
Everyone thought that the emperor would reject his request and ask him to change his request, but unexpectedly, the emperor agreed.
The emperor also heard about Yuanbao and Yang Shiming. The emperor regarded Yuanbao as his cousin, and thought that Yang Shiming's unclear relationship with his cousin would be a good thing for Yang Shiming. Unexpectedly, Yang Shiming was a responsible person. As for the fact that both of them were men, the emperor did not care.
The emperor nodded in agreement to this wedding, and everyone could only give their blessings.
Mother Yang has grown older in recent years, and her health is getting worse and worse. She seems to have returned to her sickly state. She has become more open-minded. This son has his own ideas, and she can't control them. What's more, the emperor has issued an edict, so what can she do? Can't resist the order?
The wedding was grand and large. Before the wedding, Yang Shiming renovated their house, replaced the bed with a double bed, and converted the room he had lived in before into a study.
Yuan Bao saw him busying around and asked him from behind, "Are you planning to marry into the family?"
Yang Shiming: “Yeah.”
Yuanbao nodded: "Okay, I'll support you. I've saved a lot of money for a wife."
The two of them chatted back and forth, and the atmosphere was no longer as dull as it had been before.
Wild Dog also gave them both wedding gifts. Yuanbao thought he had really let it go, and heaved a sigh of relief, and devoted himself to the wedding in public.
Liu Ya even took him along to prepare wedding clothes, "Do you want to wear men's clothes or your brother's clothes?"
"Wear men's clothes. I am a man. I have always dressed up as a boy. On a big day like my wedding, I want to be myself again." Yuan Bao thought that it would be great if Cheng Yeran and the others were also in Beijing so that they could attend his wedding. "I don't know when my cousin will be able to return to Beijing."
"I heard that within three to five years, His Majesty will be able to transfer them back to the capital." Liu Ya also missed them. "I want to go see them someday. I don't know how they are doing."
"My cousin is so amazing, he shines wherever he goes." Yuanbao admires Cheng Yeran the most, and then Yang Shiming.
On the wedding night, the two of them entertained their guests and drank a lot of wine. Yuanbao even felt a little dizzy in the bridal chamber.
He took a shower first, and while waiting for Yang Shiming in bed, he took out several small porcelain bottles that he had prepared in advance. He heard that it was easy for men to get hurt with each other, so he had to make preparations in advance. How should he use these things? Can I just apply it to that place?
He didn't know how to use it. When he was holding the small porcelain bottle in a daze, Yang Shiming came back. He hurriedly hid the small porcelain bottle under his pillow, "You, you're back?"
"What are you looking at?" Yang Shiming sat down on the bed and reached out to take out the things he had hidden under the pillow. "Are you ready too?"
"You prepared it too?" Yuanbao didn't expect that he also bought it?
"I don't want you to get hurt, so I learned some things in advance." Yang Shiming asked him, "Can I help you?"
Yuan Bao blushed and turned away, "You, don't ask me. In the past, you could always guess what I was thinking. You just did it without asking me. Why, why..."
Yuanbao was so shy that he didn't dare to look at him. Then he heard Yang Shiming open the bottle's cork, and then...
Yuanbao frowned and originally didn't dare to look at Yang Shiming, but he couldn't help but turn his head to see what expression Yang Shiming would have at this moment.
He didn't expect that Yang Shiming still had a serious expression on his face, even in bed, and even a little bit lewd...
Yuan Bao raised his foot and used his toes to pull open his belt. "Last time I said I wanted to see what Lord Yang looks like without clothes. Today I finally get to see it."
Yang Shiming grabbed his restless feet and bit his ankle, "I'm not a gentleman in bed, don't tease me."
"Then I want to see what Lord Yang, who is not a gentleman, looks like." Yuanbao used to think that he was only greedy for money, but after seeing Yang Shiming's appearance at this moment, he realized that he was also lustful.
…
Wild Dog sat in the yard all night and drank all night. The next morning, at dawn, he went to the military camp and never came back. When the day came, he followed Shao Hui to the border.
On weekdays, those soldiers or generals would go to nearby taverns to drink in their spare time. After they became familiar with the wild dogs, they also called the wild dogs.
Wild Dog is very brave in killing enemies on the battlefield, but he is still very simple in private.
ЙàΝf
He was a pure person. After he came out this time, he fell in love with drinking again. When he drank too much, he could forget many things and even had no energy to think about the people he missed. So he followed them.
After he got there, he found that there were many scantily clad men and women in the tavern, and the general who came with him had one sitting in his arms. Seeing this, he wanted to get up with a gloomy face, but before he could stand up, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure sat in his arms.
There was a white veil covering the beauty's eyes. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that her eyes were also blind.
Wild Dog rarely saw people who were blind like him. He was stunned for a moment. During this moment, the woman had already laid on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Save me."
