Four hundred and forty-eighth chapter ten years
Hu Guiyang stood at the door without moving. The grass opposite was slightly whispered in his right sleeve. The chain gun flew out from behind his waist, quietly piercing through the window paper, and then retracted it.
There were rapid footsteps outside, as if someone was retreating, followed by a voice: "Hey, Hu Guiyang, you are protected by women now."
"Yes, aren't you convinced?" Hu Guiyang turned around and said, "If you don't even give me a gift, you'll come to the corner to eavesdrop on the bridal chamber. Don't you blush?"
There was no sound outside, and the man was obviously leaving.
"It's either Zhao Aqi or Xiao Tan. I heard that they are still recovering from injuries, so why dare you run around?"
The grass didn't say anything, the chain gun had been closed, and there was no trace.
Hu Guiyang came to Xiaocao and was a little nervous for some reason, "Do you think there are people outside eavesdropping?"
The grass shook her head gently.
Hu Guiyang reached out and touched the veil and immediately retracted, "I just said that I would bring my father-in-law and mother-in-law here because they have no children and are so good to you, so I want to support them not all for money. Of course, more money can save a lot of trouble."
The grass nodded gently.
"The divine jade is here, He Sanchen gave it to me, I didn't tell you earlier..."
Xiaocao lifted the veil by himself, "They told me that I could not say a word before lifting this cloth, otherwise we would be in trouble in the future." After that, she put it on again.
Hu Guiyang was stunned, then reached out and lifted the veil, "There is still such a saying? The first time I got married, I have no experience, and I will never have another chance."
The grass bit her lips and her eyes dodged.
"Let's rest. It's so much trouble, it's going to dawn. There will be a large group of people coming tomorrow."
The grass simply lowered its head.
Hu Guiyang blew out the candles on the table, walked to the bed in the dark, sat side by side with Xiaocao, and touched her hand. Xiaocao seemed to be stabbed by a needle and moved a little to the side.
"Are you scared?" Hu Guiyang asked in surprise. In his memory, Xiaocao was quite brave.
"I...I'm not afraid, it's...it's..."
"A little nervous?"
"Um."
"I'm nervous too. I always feel that you are too young, we are so familiar with each other, and you have a chain gun, which is much better than me."
Xiaocao laughed, "The chain gun must be left by his side. Who knows when the enemy will appear again?"
"That's right. These guys didn't get married, but came to eavesdrop on my bridal chamber. They were extremely shameless."
"Well, Brother Hu, it's so late. You mean that there are still customers coming tomorrow. Let's...we..."
"Let's rest for a while first and don't do anything else." Hu Guiyang yawned, "I'm so sleepy."
The grass breathed a little relieved.
The two sat for a while, and Hu Guiyang asked, "Don't you sleep inside? If you feel that it's crowded, I'll sleep on the stool. You know my ability and can fall asleep anywhere."
"No, you... sleep inside, I sleep outside, if there is an enemy, I will take action."
Hu Guiyang took off his coat and boots and lay in the bed. After a while, the grass also lay down, as if he had not taken off a single piece of clothing. Fortunately, there was no more jewelry on his head, which would not affect his sleep.
A thought suddenly appeared in Hu Guiyang's mind, thinking that He Sanchen had chosen to give him Shenyu at this time, but in fact he had ulterior motives. He wanted to tell Xiaocao this idea, but before he could think about how to speak, the man was already asleep.
The next morning, Hu Guiyang was awakened by the sound of firecrackers and sat up. He found that it was already dawn outside and the grass was missing. The sound of firecrackers outside was filled with crowded voices.
The guests from yesterday came again.
After missing last night's wedding, Fan Dajian was extremely dissatisfied. He brought people to the backyard to set off firecrackers, woke up the groom, and shouted that he wanted to see the bride.
The bride had already gotten up, and the first person to meet was Lady Hua and many other female relatives.
Grandma Hua carefully checked the bride and solemnly announced that the Hu family's daughter-in-law would have a noble son, and then took her to recognize her relatives one by one.
The little grass man was generous and quickly won the favor of everyone. He surrounded her to meet the male guest, and all forgot the groom's head.
Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian recognized Xiaocao. When they saw that the bride was her, they were shocked. The old Taoist pointed at her and said, "You are... You are... Hu Guiyang, this guy, didn't even reveal any words!"
Hu Guiyang came out, reopened the banquet, and had a banquet again. This time the food was rich, but everyone missed the "Silver and Money Dishes" that had no taste last night. Those who enjoyed it were dancing, and those who were not satisfied sighed.
The banquet lasted from morning to evening. Hu Guiyang drank too much again, staggered, and fell on the ground several times, but he was happy and didn't feel uncomfortable.
The guest gradually said goodbye, Fan Dajian took the guests away, and Yuan Mao helped Hu Guiyang to the next room for a while.
"I have never seen Captain Hu drink so much wine." Yuan Mao smiled.
"Who knew that so many customers would appear? I don't know many of them, and now I can't name them. I have to drink a little more and they will forgive me for being rude."
"Haha, that's a trick."
Hu Guiyang collapsed on the chair and glanced at Yuan Mao sideways, "You are not just here to congratulate you today, but you are also a lobbyist of the East Palace?"
"Nothing can be hidden from the fact that Captain Hu is not only in the Eastern Palace, but also in the eunuch. He asked me to remind Captain Hu that you promised him..."
"Tell me first, Emperor, what plans does He Sanchen have?"
"I'm an outsider and I have no way to know."
"It's okay to give me some 'say'."
"It is said that the Gunpowder Bureau has been expanded to rush to build an unprecedented huge receiver in the name of making medicine and guns."
"Hmm." This is consistent with what Hu Guiyang heard from He Sanchen.
"It is also said that this is just a trial construction. If successful, a larger and stronger receiver must be built, which can only be driven by the divine jade."
"How long will it take?"
"Trial construction in two years and rebuilding in four years, a total of six years, just in time for the arrival of the Heavenly Secret Ship."
"You know when the Tianji Ship will arrive?"
"Ten cycles, that is, ten years. It is said that this is the time He Sanchen interpreted it. A few days ago, someone dreamed of this number. I haven't... Master Hu, don't sleep for now."
Hu Guiyang was sliding towards the ground and hurriedly sat upright, "Sorry, I didn't sleep for a long time, and I became more sleepy after drinking. Well, I understand, in six years, the Tianji Ship will come, where will it be?"
"Of course it is the place where 'seeds' gather, that is, the capital."
Most of the people involved in the pill absorption in Yunyang Prefecture were officers and soldiers, and the emperor could easily leave them in the capital.
"Yeah." Hu Guiyang became more and more sleepy. While there was still a ray of awakening, he said, "Please tell the Donggong and Eunuch Huai that the earth fire cannot destroy the divine jade. I will find another way. The divine jade will be placed here for the time being..."
Hu Guiyang fell asleep.
Yuan Mao shook his head helplessly, not surprised by Hu Guiyang's actions. He was both impressed and incredible. He thought that if this person could correct his problem and use more snacks, his achievements would definitely be limitless and would not be just a lieutenant in the imperial corpse.
Fan Dajian pushed the door and came in, "The guest has almost gone...he is sleeping here?"
"Take a hand and carry him back to the backyard."
"Have you made it clear to him?"
"Well, he won't hand over the divine jade, he wants to find another way to destroy the jade."
"Hey, Hu Guiyang has always advocated resisting the Tianji Ship and never regarded it as a divine ship. He Sanchen claimed that he discovered the weakness of the Tianji Ship and wanted to build a receiver to seize the entire ship's divine power. Wouldn't it hit Hu Guiyang's mind? I think he was joining the group."
"We are only responsible for passing messages, so don't worry about anything else."
Yuan Mao grabbed Hu Guiyang one arm, Fan Dajian held the other one, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he whispered: "He has drunk too much, and the divine jade may be on him..."
Yuan Mao shook his head, "Don't even think about it. You and I have no ability to find out the truth, nor have the ability to resist the temptation of Shenyu. It's better to have fewer bad thoughts."
Fan Dajian showed dissatisfaction, "Why do you always think of us as weak?" He said so, instead of reaching out, he helped Hu Guiyang up with Yuan Mao and dragged him out.
When he got outside, the cold wind blew, Hu Guiyang woke up, "Hey, why am I floating? Oh, it's you two, let's go and have a drink again."
"Everyone has been exposed, what else can I drink?" Fan Dajian let go of his hand, "Chunxiao is worth a thousand gold at a moment. Go and see your new wife quickly. We dare not keep you. Xiaocao comes to us with a chain gun to settle the score later. Who can stop her?"
"Haha, that's right, no one can beat her chain gun." Hu Guiyang staggered to the bridal chamber in the backyard.
Looking at Hu Guiyang's back, Fan Dajian sighed, "It's good to be friends with you, but you can't use tricks, it's not a good time."
"If you use tricks, others will do it. Do you dare to say that you win every time?"
Fan Dajian sighed again, "Okay, let's go and talk back. The credit is gone, just don't offend others."
The two of them sent away the last few drunken guests, found Lao Qiang and asked them to close the door, and said goodbye.
Hu Guiyang pushed the door into the house and found that there was not only Xiaocao in the house.
The bee girl was a little confused. Only Luo could understand what she said. She was not clear at Zhao's house, so she was not invited to come at the wedding.
The bee girl didn't care. She lived in Dongqianyuan and focused on teasing the dog. She ran out tonight and actually entered the bridal chamber, chatted with Xiaocao, checked her jewelry after a piece of cake, followed her feet, and occasionally stuck out her tongue at the bride to show her favor.
"Can you understand her words?" Hu Guiyang asked in surprise.
"I don't understand, but I'm happy to see that she is happy," Xiaocao smiled.
"She stayed here and did not leave, and occupied my dog, not what I intended to stay." Hu Guiyang explained.
"How come you are lying here? You forgot that she boarded the Tianji Ship with us and took the Tianji Pills. I was as confused as her. She must stay. I recognize her as my sister, and she seems to call me sister."
"Haha, just be happy. How long will she stay here?"
"Stay on."
"I mean how long I stay in this room, this is our bridal chamber..."
The bee girl picked up a phoenix hairpin and said something.
"I'll give it to you." Xiaocao took the phoenix hairpin and inserted it on the bee girl's head. The bee girl happily turned around, and the big cake followed it, and Xiaocao also turned around, "Do you still remember the dance A Yin taught you?"
Hu Guiyang was stunned and said for a while: "Then I'll sleep on the chair."
"Brother Hu, I'm so sorry. Seeing that she is so happy, I really can't bear to drive her away."
"It's okay, I can sleep no matter how much." Hu Guiyang fell asleep on the table and vaguely saw the grass and the bee girl dancing in circles.
When he woke up, the sky was already bright again. Hu Guiyang was lying on the bed, and the grass and the bee girl were no longer there.
"What's going on?" Hu Guiyang murmured. Many people covet Shenyu, but he only cared about one thing: Xiaocao was obviously willing to marry her, so why didn't he want to have a bed together?
