Chapter 676 Opening Up

The bluestone path is winding, and the flowers and trees on the roadside have already felt the cruelty of late autumn. The fallen leaves are falling, and the backyard of Su Mansion is quiet and peaceful. Chu Huan carries his hands on his back and wanders on the bluestone path with Linlang. The autumn wind is bleak and people are not cold.

Walking to a small hexagonal pavilion in the courtyard, Chu Huan finally stopped and looked at the clear spring beside the pavilion, but his mood was quite complicated. He finally wanted to explain to Linlang that he should not vaguely hesitate.

He was thinking about how to speak, but Linlang had already said quietly: "Chu Lang, today... it's hard for you!"

"What?"

"Uncle has been frowning all these days. He is over 70 years old. I feel really sad when I see his anxious look every day." Linlang sighed softly: "Your words today have made my uncle feel much more comfortable, and he has also pointed out a path for the seven surnames in Guanxi. I know you are... you are for me..."

Seeing her charming and charming appearance, Chu Huan reached out to hold one of her soft little hand and smiled and said, "Your business is naturally mine, and there is nothing difficult. I am afraid that there will be too few things for you."

Linlang smiled and Chu Huan said, "Actually, this method is not hard to imagine. I think uncle, uncle Qian, and even Linlang, you have thought of this method. It is just as the saying goes. The authorities are confused. Uncle and the uncle only feel that they are now in a downturn. The old friends in the past cannot even be sheltered, let alone borrow food to help." He sighed, "Everyone has a trough. The old uncle and the others are also in trouble, so they are inevitably confused when they see things. Today's words are not to be instructed, but to remove the burden in their hearts. After all, they are all from wealthy families. No matter when they are, they care about dignity and face. They are afraid of being ridiculed and rejected, so they dare not act rashly...!"

Linlang smiled and said, "Even if they had thought so long ago, if it weren't for your explanation today, I think my uncle and the others would have been hesitant."

"After all, the seven surnames of Guanxi were once famous. They represent one side of the country. Moreover, the reputation of the Xiguandao family has always been good. As long as they are willing to give up their face and join forces to come forward, I think some things can still be done." Chu Huan said: "There are many influential families in the city. As long as they join forces to persuade several of the influential families to borrow food first, it is not a luxury to make a comeback." After a pause, he said: "But if you want to restore the energy of the pre-war period, it may not be possible to achieve it in a short time. Even if you successfully borrow food, they will have to pay a considerable price, and at least you have to sleep on firewood and taste gall for many years."

Linlang pointed his head slightly: "Uncle and the others are prepared for this." After a pause, he finally asked, "Chu Lang, when will you return to Beijing?"

Chu Huan's expression became serious, and after a moment of pondering, he said, "After returning from the mission to Xiliang, he learned that his mother was seriously ill on the way, so he rushed back to Yunshan without stopping and had not returned to Beijing to report his job. I can't think I will stay for long." He wanted to say something, his lips slightly activated and finally said, "Linlang, there is something I want to tell you."

Linlang stared at Chu Huan with watery eyes, Feng Ziyeli, and asked, "What?"

"Before my mother left, she arranged a marriage for me...!" Chu Huan hesitated for a moment and finally said.

Linlang lowered his head, his face turned slightly red, and he said, "Have you made the arrangements? It's just... it's just that according to the customs here, we...it seems to be in two years before we...!"

She was obviously a little excited, her plump breasts were up and down.

Chu Huan took Linlang's hand and sat down on the stone beside the clear spring. Then he faced Linlang, holding Linlang's hands and whispered: "Linlang, although you and I have not been together for a long time,... you should understand that I like you in my heart."

Linlang's eyes were full of happiness. He did not avoid Chu Huan's gaze, looked at Chu Huan, and said, "I know, my thoughts... you should know them!"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "No matter whether it will take two years to get married, in my heart, you are already my wife!"

Linlang leaned over with his head, leaned against Chu Huan's shoulder, and said, "No matter it is two years, ten years, or a lifetime, I will always wait, and I must be your wife."

Chu Huan felt Linlang's deep affection, and felt a little depressed in her heart. She gently stroked Linlang's hair. After a long silence, she finally said: "Linlang, there is something I don't hide from you. Actually... in fact, before my mother left the house, she first entrusted Sister Su Niang to take care of her...!"

Linlang said softly: "Sister Su Niang is a good woman, you should have...!" Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, his body trembled, his head slowly left Chu Huan's shoulder, and his pretty face was full of disbelief, staring at Chu Huan's eyes, "You... are you saying...?"

Chu Huan nodded slightly.

Linlang's delicate body trembled again, slowly shifted his gaze away, looking at the clear spring, his expression became a little dull.

Chu Huan smiled bitterly in her heart. This was just about Su Niang. If Linlang knew that she had a wife in Xiliang, she would not know what kind of mood she was.

After a moment of silence, Linlang finally asked: "Is this... my aunt decided?"

Chu Huan said: "Yes, before she left, the one she couldn't rest assured was Sister Su Niang. She had been thinking about this for a long time in her heart. Before she left, she would finish the matter."

Linlang Youyou sighed and said, "I know my aunt loves Liansu's mother-in-law, but I didn't expect to make such an arrangement."

"Before my mother left, I specifically told me that I must not let you down." Chu Huan sighed: "Before my mother left, I was thinking about you and Sister Su Niang!"

Linlang was silent for a while and finally said, "You can't disobey your parents' orders..." Looking at Chu Huan, he said softly: "Then you must treat her well in the future and don't let her down!"

Chu Huan knew Linlang's current state of mind. Although it was the most common thing to do in this era, even if this was a common practice, a woman would not feel very good when she learned that her lover had another woman.

Suddenly, a evil fire rose in Chu Huan's heart, he held Linlang's hand and said, "Linlang, no matter what kind of bullshit customs he is, we will prepare for a wedding today. After the wedding, you can go to Beijing with me!"

Seeing Chu Huan so excited, Linlang knew that he cared about him. He was a little sad, but at this time he was surrounded by a warm feeling. He reached out to caress Chu Huan's face and said warmly: "You are a man in Linlang's heart, and you are not allowed to do anything like a child. Not long after his aunt passed away, she abides by customs to be filial to her deceased aunt. If you act impulsively, you will definitely be verbalized, and... the most important thing that affects your career is to be sorry to your aunt."

Chu Huan was also impulsive and refused to let Linlang suffer grievance. At this time, Linlang was so understanding, but Chu Huan was also grateful in her heart. She hugged Linlang in her arms and said nothing for a long time.

...

...

Chu Huan thought he would stay in Yunshan Mansion for a while, but after only two days, Wei Tianqing came up in person and brought two officials from the capital, but came from the capital to convey the will to Chu Huan.

This decree was not specially issued by the emperor, but was an order issued by the Secretariat.

Chu Huan quickly understood that the Tongtian Hall, which had been built for several years, was finally completed half a month ago. His Majesty the Emperor had decided to worship the sky in the Tongtian Hall in the near future.

Sacrifice to heaven is not a trivial matter, it is a national ceremony, which concerns the country, and His Majesty the Emperor personally prays to heaven for blessings.

This time, His Majesty the Emperor has issued an order to worship the sky in Tongtian Hall. Officials above the sixth rank in the capital must attend for a few days. Officials from the three provinces and six ministries are indispensable. Chu Huan, as the head of the Ministry of Revenue, must also be among them.

Those who are not in the capital should also quickly return to the capital to participate in this ceremony of worship for the heavens.

The official in the capital explained the situation to Chu Huan. Although he was respectful, he urged Chu Huan to return to Beijing as soon as possible. The two of them were not in a hurry to return, but stayed in Yunshan, waiting to return to Beijing with Chu Huan.

Chu Huan knew that he could not stay for a long time, but he had already made arrangements. Chu Li's family had left. Although Su Niang and she had not organized a banquet, they were already a couple with status. Naturally, they could not keep them in Yunshan Mansion. When they returned to Beijing this time, they naturally wanted to take Su Niang with them. After Su Niang left, Ru Lian naturally wanted to follow her to Beijing.

As long as Su Niang and Ru Lian enter the extremely prosperous empire Kyoto, they are a little nervous. Su Niang comes from a farmhouse and walks out of a small village. She never thought that one day she would enter Kyoto of the empire. She was uneasy, but she also had some expectations. She cleaned up her house and gave her some salutes. The Chu Li family's spiritual card would naturally be brought into the capital.

Chu Huan has also taken time to accompany Linlang these two days. He knew that it would take another long time to meet in Beijing this time. Naturally, he would cherish every minute of time together as much as possible.

Three days later, everything was ready. Chu Huan hired two carriages, one of which was carried by Su Niang and Ru Lian, and the other was loaded with salutes. Chu Huan himself was riding a thunder and fire kirin. In addition to the two officials who came from the capital to convey orders, the six guard cavalry who had left behind were naturally escorted the people.

Farewell to Linlang, he was reluctant to leave again. Wei Tianqing was worried that the guards were too small, so he transferred twenty imperial guards from his own hands to escort them all the way into Beijing. Chu Huan originally wanted to refuse, but Wei Tianqing was extremely persistent. Chu Huan had to give up and let the twenty imperial guards follow him to Beijing.

Chu Huan naturally had no intention of appreciating the scenery along the way. The car was scattered. Chu Huan was worried that Su Niang and Ru Lian had taken such a long journey for the first time. Instead, they did not let the team walk too fast, but slowed down as much as possible to avoid bumps in the carriage. Su Niang used to do housework, but she was in good health. She was not afraid of long-distance bumps. Along the way, she lifted the curtains to enjoy the scenery along the way with great pleasure.
