Chapter 321 I’m not afraid of pitfalls, I’m afraid of no pits at all
Yan Xingchuan finished his meal, which he didn't know whether it was breakfast or lunch, and then he stayed by her side and refused to leave. Seeing her pick up a book to read, he also picked up a book and planned to read it with her.
Cui Si chased him away: "The military advisor left Piaomiao City yesterday, and you've been here all day. You should go to the government office today to check it out, so those people don't think that no one is in charge and start to get restless."
"Northern Yan's troops are stationed in Miaozhou. Miaozhou cannot be in chaos."
Yan Xingchuan looked at her, somewhat hesitant.
Cui Si continued, "Go ahead. When you're done, come back for dinner. By the way, let me see the Piaomiao River defense construction."
When Yan Xingchuan heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay, I'll get it for you. You should...shouldn't move, right?"
"I'm not moving. I'm staying here."
Yan Xingchuan got the answer he wanted and finally went to the government office with peace of mind.
Although Shangguan Tong had handed over many matters concerning Miaozhou to Zhitong, many things still had to be handled by Yan Xingchuan himself. It was impossible to delegate power to a Zhitong. Although it was not urgent, it was better to deal with it as soon as possible.
He loved every moment he spent with her, but he also knew clearly that only when the world was at peace could they be together forever.
At the end of the afternoon, he finished his work for the day, and the sunset outside was already slanting.
Yun Gang brought him a cup of tea to calm him down.
"Go and have the carriage prepared."
"Carriage?" Yun Gang was surprised. "Where is the master going?"
"Let's go home." Yan Xingchuan looked out the window. "If I come and go as I please and stay overnight, people will find out. I'm afraid there will be gossip. Please arrange a carriage."
Yun Gang was puzzled and asked him, "Then why don't you get married soon, Master?"
Once you get married, everything is legitimate and there's no need to hide from others like a thief.
And...and even if they were in love, couldn't they wait until they got married? Why did they have to get together now?
I can’t figure it out.
"Get married?" Yan Xingchuan paused, then shook his head. "You don't need to ask about this matter. When it's time to get married, it will happen naturally."
"Could it be that Princess Wang is unhappy?" Yun Gang was even more puzzled.
This simply doesn't make sense. What woman in this world would not want to be a legally married wife and instead be... well, just like a mistress kept outside?
Is Wang Ji such a stupid woman?
Yun Gang was alert: "Master, could there be something wrong here?"
"Are you asking me if there is a trap?" Yan Xingchuan laughed.
Yun Gang broke out in a cold sweat and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
Yan Xingchuan continued, "She just doesn't want to be my wife, she doesn't want to be the Queen of Northern Yan, that's all. From now on, she and I will continue to get along like this. As for the trap you mentioned, even if it exists, so what?"
There is no such a good deal in this world. He took advantage of it but did not have to take any responsibility. The possibility is still very small.
After Yan Xingchuan calmed down, he also thought about this question.
But I just thought about it for a moment and then put it behind my mind.
Yan Xingchuan lowered his eyes: "I've never been afraid of pitfalls. What I'm afraid of is not even having pits, not knowing what to do. Now at least I know the direction and how to move forward."
"The rest are just difficulties and obstacles. Just keep going. As for whether she has something to ask for, we'll know when she wants to speak."
But he was willing to walk on the path she left for him, even if it meant falling into a trap.
"Don't mention this matter again."
"Yes." Yun Gang bowed and agreed, then retreated and arranged a carriage for Yan Xingchuan to travel.
The warm sun shines obliquely, and the wind blows the flowers into bloom.
Yan Xingchuan got on a carriage and left from the back door of the government office to go home. Halfway through the journey, he met someone selling crabapple flowers, and asked him to buy a few branches.
When he returned home, he had the carriage driven directly to the courtyard separated by the back house where the carriage was placed. Then he got off the carriage, walked from the small door to the second door, and then continued to walk inside.
The breeze was just right, and Cui Si didn't like staying in the house. She asked someone to move a table to the corridor, put some tea and food on it, and then put a recliner there. She half-lay on it, feeling the spring breeze, reading a book, and enjoying a comfortable life.
When Yan Xingchuan came back, he didn't inform anyone. He walked into the yard and headed towards the main house.
Yanzhi and Songlu were waiting beside her. When they heard footsteps, they turned around and saw him coming, and bowed slightly.
Yan Xingchuan raised his hand, telling them to leave and not to wait on him. Then he walked forward, stood behind her, took a look at the book in her hand, and looked a little surprised.
"Reading a storybook?"
Cui Si closed the book, turned around and glared at him: "You walk without making any sound? You scared me."
When she was angry, her eyebrows raised slightly, her eyes were filled with annoyance, and the eyes that were staring at him became wider.
Yan Xingchuan's heart moved slightly, and he leaned over and kissed her cheek twice, "A'si, you look beautiful even when you are angry."
Cui Si raised her eyebrows: "You have learned to flatter people with sweet words."
Yan Xingchuan smiled: "If you like to listen, I will say more."
He held her hand, sat down beside the beauty, opened her notebook, flipped through a few pages, and asked her, "What's so interesting about this notebook?"
Cui Si smiled and said, "In this world of love, hate, infatuation and anger, everything exists for a reason. When I have nothing to do, I just read it casually to kill time. Sometimes I get so angry that I want to hit someone, but when I think about it, isn't it also the desire in people's hearts?"
Men all hope to succeed in life, become a noble or a prime minister, and have countless beauties.
Women all hope that men will treat them sincerely, that the man they love will also love them, and that they will have a warm home and a place to call home.
Yan Xingchuan asked her: "Then what do you desire?"
Cui Si thought for a moment and said, "The world is at peace, and we can live peacefully."
"What else?"
"what else?"
"What about me?"
Cui Si thought for a moment and said, "Then I also hope to be with you forever."
Since she had taken this step, she didn't mind saying a few words that he would like to hear.
When Yan Xingchuan heard this, he laughed so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears. He kept saying, "I took everything you said seriously."
Cui Si didn't bother to argue with him. She sat up straight, poured him a cup of tea, and asked him, "Did you bring what I wanted?"
Yan Xingchuan nodded: "I asked Yun Gang to take it and put it in the next courtyard. I will take you to see it later. By the way, you want to see this, do you think this defense line is not well done?"
"That's not the case." Cui Si shook her head.
She came to Miaozhou on the pretext of "seeing if the defense line needs to be improved." The construction of this defense line was decided after discussions between Yan Xingchuan, Shangguan Tong, and others. They had done their best, and she believed it was the best.
It's just that she has lived a few more years, and now that she is here, she just wants to take a look and fill in the gaps.
