C45 (2/2)
”Are you not used to eating?” The Xiaowan asked, ”I heard from Uncle Biao that the Chuanyu is spicy.”
Susu nodded his head: ”This is only one of them. The most important thing is that the things in the capital and the people here are all very complicated.” She laughed as she spoke. ”A person like me can't even touch the empress's toes, what's there to worry about?”
The Xiaowan laughed: ”That's not true, we shouldn't worry, we can wish them well. The emperor and the empress are fine, the Daqi is good, the Daqi is good, we can live and work in peace. Look at the Liang Empire on the side, they have been fought by us for two years.
The water in Ling Chaofeng's hands was almost cold, but he was amused by Xiaowan's words, as she began to use idioms, about living in peace and working hard, about how the citizens were not living well, about how he was still small, and started to worry about the country's affairs.
He quickly sent out the hot water, and after he left, he vaguely heard Susu say: ”Xiaowan, your fate is really good. I did not say that Manager Ling dotes on you so much, but I have seen those noble people before.
Ling Chaofeng did not continue listening, but Xiaowan said proudly: ”Aunt said, him marrying me is also his good fortune.”
The young lady s were laughing by the well. In the afternoon, they heard the Uncle Biao telling them everything he had heard, that winter was short and winter was long. In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and it was New Year's Eve.
After dinner, they went to the back door to set off fireworks. Xiaowan was so scared by the firecrackers that she went into Ling Chaofeng's arms, but when she saw the dazzling fireworks, she became dumbstruck.
”Hubby, you look really good.” The Xiaowan said, ”So this is the legendary fireworks.”
Ling Chaofeng asked: ”Do you like it?”
Xiaowan nodded furiously. ”I like it.”
Ling Chaofeng said: ”Every New Year's Eve, the imperial palace will burn with fireworks. When I was young, I would stand on the roof of my inn with my father every year to watch. Those fireworks are unobtainable outside, and the fireworks are even bigger and higher, able to illuminate half of the capital city. ”Next year's New Year's Eve, let's go to the capital to celebrate the New Year's Eve. How about we take you to see the fireworks?”
The Xiaowan hesitated for a moment before saying, ”Let's go for the new year. We won't stay here any longer, let's just come back immediately, shall we?”
Ling Chaofeng knew that he had chatted with Susu during the afternoon and was afraid of her.
Xiaowan felt itchy in her heart and took the initiative to ask her husband for it. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore, so she asked her husband to let her go after begging and acting like a spoiled child.
young lady fell asleep exhausted. In the morning of the next day, she was kissed and woke up. The sky was bright.
It was still quiet inside and outside the tavern. Xiaowan looked at her husband and her heart quivered.
”Why did you call my name?” Ling Chaofeng asked.
”I suddenly want to shout.” Xiaowan laughed foolishly.
”From then on, I will call you by your name. I love hearing you call me by my name.” Ling Chaofeng said as he handed over a red embroidered bag to the Xiaowan, ”This is your new year's money.”
Xiaowan sat up and opened her purse. Inside was a gold ingot, the last time she collected the money was when she was five years old and it was given to her by Uncle Zhou from the Blacksmith Shop.
She threw herself at her husband and kissed him again and again. Ling Chaofeng patted her butt and asked: ”Who couldn't take it last night?”
”I don't know …” She smiled coquettishly, her face red as she mumbled, ”Chao Feng, how could I have such a good life? I'm not dreaming, right? Please don't wake up, please don't wake up.”
His life had undergone a tremendous change, and even in the past four to five months, his heart would occasionally feel uneasy, because he was too satisfied and happy. However, if he was like Susu, who had escaped hell and returned to the human world, it wouldn't be a big deal anymore, but she would have just gone from hell to heaven.
On the first day of the new year, the inn was brimming with joy. Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang had also prepared New Year's money for Xiaowan, Susu and Ershan, causing the few young people to be extremely happy.
Xiaowan stood in front of the door, watching the sun move to the middle of the sky. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past and blew down the notice for the empress's grand wedding.
The Xiaowan hurriedly picked it up and ran back to the counter to ask Ling Chaofeng for some paste. Ling Chaofeng said that after today, the notice would not be needed, and it would be fine even if it was not, but the Xiaowan asked, ”Hubby, in this short period of time, has the emperor and the Empress gotten married?”
Ling Chaofeng said: ”It should be done already, it's time for the national banquet at night.”
”What kind of person is our new empress? If only she was a chef in the palace, she could make spicy food for her.”
At this time, the Aunt Zhang, the Auntie Chen and Susu came down from the stairs and called out to her. ”Evening, let's go for a stroll and let the shopkeeper and your uncle look after the house.”
