I raised a husband in ancient times

Chapter 46

Years ago, Lu Yiming couldn't spare any free time. Mr. Jiang seemed to be planning to squeeze out all his energy and devote his time completely to riding and shooting practice.

Lu Yiming now has no problem hitting six out of nine shots, and there are also a lot of seven hits, but it is rare to see hundreds of hits.

If you want to stand out in the exam, it will be easy based on the opponent's current level. However, once you enter the exam room, you will always feel uneasy. Most candidates cannot perform at their normal level, with a tolerance of about one or two arrows.

I had not been in contact with Lu Yiming for a long time. Judging from the interactions during this period, he was not the kind of martial arts student who easily panics when things happen, but he had to strengthen his training just in case.

After all, scientific research involves more than just psychological changes. It also has to take into account other uncertain factors such as the weather at the time and the condition of the horse.

After running this lap, Jiang Runshan handed him a water bag, took a look at the results and asked, "How do you feel?"

Lu Yiming took the handbag, moistened his mouth on horseback, and rubbed the ice on his face. He let out a hot breath and said, "The feel is okay."

On New Year's Eve, it was also the last day of training at the racecourse this year. Mr. Jiang really trusted his physical strength. He didn't get off the horse all morning.

Lu Yiming dismounted, took off the quiver on his back, and moved his arms.

The "arrows piercing the stars and rivers, holding the bow and being invincible for hundreds of miles, the angry horse in red, galloping to view the mountains and seas" described in the novel are not things done by humans.

He was in pain all over the morning. Fortunately, Xiaomiao gave him physical support, otherwise he would have been sore for a day or two.

The horse was taken away to rest, and the remaining two people chatted while walking: "In recent days, you have been stable at seven out of nine. Although you have made progress, you must not relax."

Lu Yiming has been learning riding and shooting for exactly two months now. , from a beginner to today's hit rate, he can definitely be called a genius. Sometimes he can't help but admire his opponent's heroic appearance when he sees him running on the racecourse.

If this person is given another period of time, he can even look forward to this year's top three candidates, combining the opponent's shooting, skills, bravery and strategy, or taking a seat.

Appreciation is appreciation. Now that he is the opponent's teacher, naturally he cannot show it to others. People who practice martial arts must remember to be too complacent.

Lu Yiming didn't know what level he could achieve after two months of normal study, but he saw other martial arts students practicing riding and shooting at the racecourse on weekdays and found that their average level was three or four out of nine shots, which should be pretty good.

He could feel Jiang Runshan's faint expectations for him, but he said calmly: "Students, please note."

The racecourse is vast, unlike houses blocked by walls. Now the field of vision is wide and unobstructed.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way quickly!"

A panicked voice came from behind. The sound of horse hooves was approaching them along with this sound. Lu Yiming turned his head and looked.

The horse looked a little crazy, its eyes were wide open, and it roared angrily and ran forward with all its strength. The horse's hooves kicked up heavy dust on the ground, and the slightly long mane on its neck seemed to be pulled forward.

Rather like an unruly wild horse.

The man on the horse could not stop him, so he could only lean down and get close to the horse's back, holding the reins tightly with both hands to avoid being thrown off.

The other party noticed that there was someone directly in front of him, but could not avoid it. He could only shout a warning to prevent him from being hit by the out-of-control horse and getting hurt.

Lu Yiming pulled Jiang Runshan to the side and got out of the way. Unexpectedly, the horse did not rush along the route, but ran straight towards them!

What's going on with this horse? !

Seeing that the raised hoof of the horse was about to trample on their bodies, Lu Yiming quickly pushed Jiang Runshan aside, while he ducked and secretly hooked the horse's hind leg with a small seedling and pulled it back.

Before the horse fell to the ground, he stretched out his hand to lift the young man on the horse out and threw him onto a pile of hay nearby.

The horse fell to the ground, convulsed, let out a heart-rending cry, and then became motionless.

【Did you do this? ]

[It's not me, I don't have it! The master didn't give the order, so why did I poison it for no reason? ]

This horse went crazy and ran straight towards them. This accident would have killed someone. Did someone do it deliberately?

Since the venom was not caused by Xiaomiao, who could be so cruel as to poison a horse to death?

Countless questions flashed through his mind quickly, and Lu Yiming looked at the ground without moving.

"What did you do to our horses?!"

The breeder who just took Lu Yiming's horse away happened to see the horse lying on the ground. At this moment, he was furious and shouted at the three of them angrily. Scolded.

The man squatted down to check the horse and found that white foam was spitting out of its mouth, and its strong body died in pain while convulsing.

His eyes suddenly turned red: "You guys are worse than beasts, does the horse deserve to suffer this? It has no grievance against you, but you actually gave the horse rat poison! The horse can't speak, and you have no idea that he was alive. How much pain have you gone through!"

Lu Yiming calmed down his emotions and lowered his face. He originally wanted to call an army to hold him accountable, but he didn't expect him to be punished.

"Damn you, we didn't do this at all!"

The young man who had just recovered from the shock got up, his face red and angry. If it hadn't been for the straw pile to buffer him, he would have been thrown by the crazy horse. If his leg is broken on the ground, then he will miss the martial arts examination!

The young man had a messy hair with straw in his head. He poked people's noses and scolded: "You still dare to scold me? I was almost killed by your crazy horse. Just wait, I'll call you daddy." Come clean up your horse farm!"

The horse farm owner not far away was just passing by, but now he heard someone making a loud noise and came over quickly.

As soon as he got closer, he recognized the young man's face and immediately wanted to run away with his forehead in his hands. Isn't this the county magistrate's precious son Feng Tingji? How did I meet this man?

Who doesn't know that this man is usually very arrogant, relying on the favor of his father who is a county magistrate, not to mention being domineering, stealing candy from children, and doing many things that make people cry.

He has died young, why does this ancestor look like this? !

You must know that this person cannot bear the slightest grievance. If he treats you with respect, you have to return him a foot.

"What's wrong with Master Feng? This servant bumped into the young master in a fit of impatience. Please forgive me. How about we resolve the matter and then punish him?"

Looking at the fallen horse, it wasn't that he didn't feel distressed, it was all his treasure. .

If something goes wrong now, the racecourse must be held responsible, but the truth of the matter remains to be determined. This person has a reputation for being domineering, but he will never take the initiative to cause trouble. On the contrary, he is very jealous of evil. If he handles it well, he might be able to let them go.

The most important thing now is to stabilize this man's mood.

Feng Tingji curled his lips and glared at the breeder, understanding the importance of the matter. If this matter came to him...

He squinted his eyes and laughed so hard that others felt terrified. The ferocity in his eyes was clearly visible: He wanted life to be worse than death. .

The four people carefully reviewed the ins and outs of this matter. The breeder realized that he had misunderstood them. At this moment, he did not dare to fart and huddled aside to reduce his sense of presence.

"I have always used this horse. When I first came to the racecourse, I mentioned that my horse must be exclusive and no one else is allowed to touch it."

This was received by the racecourse owner in person. Of course he remembered this. It is a horse selected from thousands of people. It is raised every day by a dedicated person and cleaned regularly, just to please this master.

And very unfortunately, this person is Ma Peisheng.

People who love horses like crazy are the most suitable and know how to care for horses. He feels relieved when leaving it to the other person, but this is too much. Otherwise, Ma Peisheng would not scold the other person indiscriminately out of anger.

"I wonder if Master Feng noticed anything unusual before he got on the horse today?"

Feng Tingji recalled the memory and did not miss a single detail: "I didn't notice anything wrong. Everything about the horse is normal."

The racecourse owner frowned, thoughtfully: "I don't know, Master Feng. When will you start practicing riding and shooting today?"

He remembered this very clearly. It was too cold today and he got up late, so it was not early to arrive at the racecourse: "It's already time." "

Ma Peisheng, did you feed this horse today?"

Hiding behind The man stepped forward, lowered his head and said, "It's a small one. After Chen Shi fed it, he put the horse in the stable and took it out for a lap."

Logically speaking, the horse was given to Ma Peisheng . If he is responsible, then there will be no second person to feed him. The racecourse owner thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever seen anyone else come into contact with it?" "

No," Ma Peisheng said in a panic. This clue made it clear that he was the one who did it. , he couldn't sit still and didn't care about anything else. He defended loudly, "There is no way I could be cruel to the horse!"

Looking at his grief-stricken appearance before, it really didn't look like him, but who knew whether this person was deliberately doing it for him? Afterwards, Feng Tingji, who was scolded for no reason, was in a bad mood and sneered: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts."

Without any clues or progress, Lu Yiming interrupted and added, telling them the details he had noticed before: "That horse wants to hit you." My husband and I, could you please check if there is anything on us that attracts horses?"

Lu Yiming actually thought it was an accident. After all, when he got off another horse before, the horse didn't react in any other way. In theory, There are no spices or other things that can cause horses to go crazy.

Ma Peisheng, who specializes in medicine, sniffed the two of them carefully and checked inside and out. He found nothing, ruling out the influence of irritants.

This is strange. If they weren't carrying something, why would the horse hit them?

"In addition to conquering horses with human power, how do you usually ask horses that have wandered away to return to the stable? Is there

a special whistle?" Lu Yiming just guessed this. After all, TV dramas used to play like this. When the whistle is blown, the horse will Come over here.

The owner of the horse farm was a little surprised that horse training had anything to do with this matter, but he still answered truthfully: "There is a special whistle, but I will wave a small flag with my hand to cooperate with the instructions."

They had their backs to the stable just now, and they were talking. Going in the direction of the horse, Lu Yiming didn't hear the whistle.

As for whether someone was waving the flag behind him, he turned his head and asked Feng Tingji: "I wonder if brother, did you see it?" Feng Tingji

became angry when he thought of what happened just now. At that time, his whole attention was on the horse, so how could he remember it? , he replied angrily to the racecourse owner: "I didn't look."

Lu Yiming asked the question, why are you angry at me?

The racecourse owner had nothing to say, but he couldn't show it.

"You, go and gather all the people who know how to train horses." Feng Tingji thought along Lu Yiming's train of thought and decisively directed the horse farm owner.

He hadn't seen anyone waving the flag, but now that he had no clues, he might find some loophole.

The owner of the racecourse has not moved for a long time. He is a little embarrassed. It's not that he doesn't want to go, but there are many people practicing riding and shooting at the racecourse. They are all well-known people in the town. If he suddenly stops, everyone will have to be killed. excuse me.

"Hey, did you hear that?!"

Just as he was about to curse, a boy stumbled in from the door, followed by a group of aggressive police officers.

Seeing that something was wrong, Feng Tingji's servant went straight to the government office and said that something had almost happened to the county magistrate's son. It happened that the county magistrate was also there, and he almost scared him to death. The tea cup he couldn't put down was smashed to pieces, and he almost killed him at the door.

After finally being comforted by the county magistrate's wife, their subordinates rushed over non-stop.

Can they ignore this matter? Dare they ignore it?

Seeing the officials coming, the horse farm owner breathed a sigh of relief. Now he had a legitimate reason to order someone to call the horse trainer.

Ma Peisheng was both a breeder and a horse trainer. There were six horse trainers in the entire racecourse, including him. The other five stood in a row in front of the arrester, looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

Feng Tingji's servant brought a chair, and he sat on it with his legs crossed, holding a tea cup, in the style of a county magistrate.

"Each of you will report what you did today, including when you went to the toilet. You must also tell the truth."

His fingers casually crossed in front of him, and finally settled on the person on the far left: "Let's start with you."

"Sir, sir..."

The five people told Feng Tingji one by one about their half-day itinerary. Lu Yiming watched their subtle movements, trying to find any trace.

The first, fourth and fifth persons kept looking at Feng Tingji when they made their statements, with calm faces and no hint of guilt.

The second and third people's eyes flickered from side to side when speaking. The second person sometimes looked at each other for half a night when facing Feng Tingji, and the third person kept staring at the ground without raising his head.

"Stay the one on the far left and the one in the middle, and stand aside for the others."

The two people Feng Tingji pointed out were the two people Lu Yiming found suspicious.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the other person. The person sitting happened to look over, nodded slightly towards him and then turned back.

I thought he was just a playboy, but I didn't expect that this person had real abilities. He really couldn't be fooled by one-sided views.

Feng Tingji handed the tea cup to the boy, stood up and took out a knife from the policeman's waist, walked up to the first person, put the knife on his neck, and said expressionlessly: "You can do what you did today again." Let's talk about it again, it's best to have someone capable to prove that you were actually doing this at the time."

The man was slightly panicked, but quickly calmed down: "The villain Chenshi was feeding the horses at the No. 1 racecourse. He has been training new horses at the same place and has not left the No. 1 racecourse. Zhuo Zewu, the son of the county captain, can testify."

Feng Tingji said on the third day Racecourse No. 2, but the horse lost control and rushed into Racecourse No. 2. There was half an hour between No. 1 and No. 3. If he had not left, he would not have had time to administer the drug.

However, the No. 2 racecourse is close to the No. 1 racecourse, and the suspicion that this person took the opportunity to direct the horse's actions cannot be eliminated.

The horse trainer was arrested and separated to the left and right. Feng Tingji played with the knife in his hand, patted the other person's cheek gently, also put the knife on the person's neck, and asked casually: "What about you?" What?"

"Sir, I have been on duty at the No. 2 Racecourse today. I changed shifts with Ma Peisheng and went to the No. 3 Racecourse to train horses. During this period, I went to the hut alone." "Can anyone testify?"

"

No. 3 Racecourse and Everyone at Racecourse No. 2 can testify." The man still lowered his head and did not look at Feng Tingji, and made no other small moves.

The rat poison took effect in about a quarter to half an hour, but that time happened to be the time Feng Tingji was on the horse. According to the inference, no one could have poisoned it, unless...

Lu Yiming walked over to the dead horse that was foaming at the mouth. , greeted the operator: "Check whether there are any traces of the traction rope and the medicine bag in the horse's mouth." The

human body inspection was fine, but the horse inspection person was a little unhappy, but he was frightened by Feng Tingji's cold eyes, so he still followed Lu Yiming's instructions. He ordered to check carefully.

He cleaned its mouth with clean water, revealing the horse's teeth and tongue coating. There were signs of tightening on the left and right sides of the upper teeth.

The idiot looked at Lu Yiming with a strange look. How did this person know?

"What's the result?"

"Master, as the martial artist said, there are holes and signs of stress between the teeth!"

Feng Tingji pulled Ma Peisheng out from the side, with a cold expression on his face: "I ask you, do you always feed food?" Have you checked every now and then?"

"Yes, yes, the villain checks every day, but there are no traces of ropes!"

Ma Peisheng felt a little uncomfortable being carried, crying and looking extremely embarrassed. Who the hell wants to put the blame on him? !

Feng Tingji put him down, looked at the two people being held up, and said, "Very good, bring me that little guy Zhuo Zewu."

Originally, Lu Yiming wanted to remind him, but this person probably already had a rough inference. He stood aside without speaking, preparing to watch the show.

Zhuo Zewu, the son of the county captain, is tall and tall, but he is a literary scholar. At this moment, he does not know what kind of stimulation he received, and he came to the racecourse to practice riding and shooting.

Lu Yiming had met this person many times. We were among the first people to enter the venue in the morning, so we were close acquaintances.

"What do you want from me?"

The two of them seemed to be old acquaintances at first sight, but their relationship might be average.

Feng Tingji pointed at one of them with a cold face and asked, "Has this person been at the No. 1 racecourse?" The

visitor followed his hand and looked over. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who the person was. When he recalled today's racecourse, there was indeed someone there. Such a person: "I've never been sure, but he is indeed from Racecourse No. 1. What's wrong?" "

What's wrong? This man wants to murder me. Did you instigate it?"

Zhuo Zewu frowned, not because he was slightly It was in a suspicious tone, but the information he gave was that a horse trainer wanted to kill the county magistrate's son and didn't want to live anymore?

"It's not me," he looked at the person being accused again with a sinister look in his eyes, "Is it him? I'll kill him for you on any charge."

No wonder Feng Tingji said that this was a villain. Lu Yiming was facing him, how could he kill him? See clearly the flash of murderous intent, it doesn't look like a fake.

Feng Tingji didn't seem to expect that he would say these words in public. He stared wide-eyed and couldn't believe it: "Are you crazy?!"

Zhuo Zewu shrugged and said cruel words in a calm tone: "That's the way it is. I'm going to die, but it's just in advance. I believe the county magistrate's son will take care of it for me."

He drew closer with the knife.

The trainer of the No. 1 racecourse who was being pointed at the side finally started to tremble, and he sat down on the ground, begging for mercy: "The villain knows his crime, the villain was confused for a moment, and was deceived by others. Something!"

This man's name is Xu Shenyi, but he doesn't deserve his name.

Half a month ago, this man accepted a bribe from another horse trainer at the racecourse, saying that someone wanted to get rid of Lu Yiming. He thought that this man was just a farmer, who knew there was another person involved, the son of the county magistrate.

Besides, there are ten taels of silver! He had worked at the racecourse for five years to get this price, so of course he agreed.

He had agreed at the beginning that as long as he waved the flag here, he thought that for such a simple thing, no one would find out when the time came in a hurry. After many considerations, he still couldn't resist the temptation of ten taels of silver and did the wrong thing.

Now that he heard that he would die from this, he became scared, but he didn't understand how he was exposed.

"As the first person to be asked, you answered too decisively and did not think about it. It means that you have planned your answer in advance."

Seeing that the person was a little confused, Lu Yiming answered for the person, but he didn't understand. How could anyone want to kill such an ordinary farm boy?

Feng Tingji didn't understand either. It was understandable that someone wanted to kill him. It wasn't like he had never experienced it before. He didn't understand that the people at Racecourse No. 3 hired Xu Shenyi to kill Lu Yiming. He didn't understand. It was such a big detour?

impossible.

He approached the horse trainer at Racecourse No. 3, trying to force a confession, but when he got closer, a sharp dagger suddenly passed across his neck. The sun shone on the blade, and the dazzling light penetrated his eyes. He had A moment of daze.

The dagger cut off a few strands of hair on his temples, and his heart was pounding.

If Zhuo Zewu hadn't grabbed him by the side, he would have been bloodied on the spot.

Seeing that the matter was revealed, the man rolled his throat and swallowed something. After a while, he covered his neck and turned pale, his eyes widened and he stopped moving.

This happened in just a moment, and it was too late for Lu Yiming to stop it.

[Can the poison be detoxified? 】

【already dead. 】

It's useless to solve it.

Everyone recovered from the shock and turned to look at the living Xu Shenyi.

This man didn't look as calm as before. The pungent stench came from his body, and this time he was really scared to the point of peeing.

"Take the person back and interrogate him properly." Feng Tingji was willing to bet that the person just came to kill him, and any jealousy of Lu Yiming's riding and shooting ability was just a cover.

He looked at Zhuo Zewu again for the first time and wanted to apologize for his previous suspicion, but the words he said were not so pleasant: "I didn't expect it was really not you."

He realized that this was not right and quickly changed his words: "I meant Yes, thank you very much this time. The cooperation just now was good."

"What cooperation?"

"As for what you just said about killing people, I understand, intimidation, I often use it."

Lu Yiming saw Zhuo Zewu's dark eyes, and there was no Say more, this is not just a casual psychological warfare, this person really wants to do this.

Zhuo Zewu took a step closer to Feng Tingji, blocking half of his body, and turned sideways to warn Lu Yiming.

Um? Is it his imagination? This person regarded him as an enemy, or a love rival?

It must be an illusion that he has been assimilated into this world, and everyone looks like a couple.

The crowd dispersed, and the forgotten Ma Peisheng was suddenly mentioned.

"Ma Peisheng, you go down and get twenty coins, and ask the steward to settle the recent silver. I will give you an extra month."

Ma Peisheng clenched his fists and did not dare to say anything. Now that he knew who this person was, he was trembling and did not dare to look directly. The other party, who was in a hurry and spoke unabashedly before, is now extremely frightened. This man was very merciful by not killing him.

He trembled and kowtowed twice, and went back to receive the punishment as instructed by the racecourse owner. He understood that he could no longer stay at this racecourse, and did not resent the racecourse owner, knowing that the other person was trying to save him.

"Wait a moment," Feng Tingji called him, looked at him carefully for a moment, and said to the horse farm owner, "I will collect the fine in a while and send him to my house."

That's it.

Ma Peisheng's face was pale. No one in the neighborhood, old or young, knew about this man's methods. Many prisoners in the government office couldn't bear the torture and gave testimony. Although they were all guilty, their names spread and everyone knew about it. This man is very capable.

He had seen the scene just now. In order not to implicate the young and old in the family, Ma Peisheng could no longer say curse words and could only kowtow to thank him.

The racecourse owner looked at the man's retreating back and sighed secretly. Although Ma Peisheng was sometimes outspoken, he had good horse-raising skills. He was a little pity, but he did not intercede for the man again.

He understood where this size was, otherwise he would not have been able to safely operate a racecourse in Jushui Town for so many years.

Although both of them had some misunderstandings about him, he didn't say much. Reverence was the basis of subordinates' loyalty.

Feng Tingji bypassed Zhuo Zewu who was in front of him and thanked Lu Yiming sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Lu, for the rescue, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the scientific examination in the spring."

When his horse lost control, he prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect it. Although it was rude to throw him into a haystack out of desperation after being rescued, it was still a helpless act and he could not retaliate for kindness.

"Brother Feng, you're welcome."

Thinking of something, Feng Tingji, who had originally planned to go home, asked him, "Have you found anyone to vouch for it?" "

No."

Originally, he had met some people at the racecourse and martial arts field. It hasn't been decided yet, and he said he would wait until the Spring Festival to discuss it again, so he didn't talk to his husband about taking him with him.

"We are short of someone here, are you willing to come?"

Feng Tingji thought simply. This person can save people at a critical moment, which means that his character must be good. Since the other party does not have a guarantor, it is convenient to sell him. It's also more comfortable.

Lu Yiming pondered for a moment. If he refused to accept the invitation from the county magistrate's son, it would seem that he was a little disrespectful. However, he had another thing he wanted to confirm: "I have an unkind invitation. I wonder if I can bring my family members."

Feng Tingji Surprise was written on his face: "Are you going to take your family members with you for the scientific examination?"

But he quickly realized that, too, they had bookboys and servants to take care of them, but most of the farmers seemed to bring their relatives. After all, some people really don't have the ability to take care of themselves. Too good.

Feng Tingji classified Lu Yiming into the not-so-good group and did not expose him. Instead, he had some sympathy and understanding.

"Yes, I wonder if that's okay?"

Lu Yiming didn't know what this man thought of him. Even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything. How about discussing his soft husband with him? That would definitely not happen, he didn't want to.

After the other party nodded, the two agreed to get to know each other with the other three candidates on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and fill out the guarantee certificate on that day.

****

Worship ancestors on New Year's Eve.

After having lunch at Jiang Runshan's house, Lu Yiming said goodbye to his husband and hurried back to the village to worship his ancestors.

From being busy since childhood to New Year's Eve, he was finally able to sleep peacefully without being oppressed by Mr. Jiang.

Arriving early is worse than arriving late. When he returned to the village, the three of them had already placed tribute offerings and incense candles for ancestors on the table of the Eight Immortals, waiting to be lit.

"My husband is back!"

It was a little far away at first and he wasn't sure about it, but now it was close. Pei Xing shouted inside overjoyed.

"I'm back." When

Lu Yiming came in, he would hug people into his arms and place a kiss on his forehead. Lu's father and mother inside the door were not surprised.

Once inside, let them do whatever they want.

It was Lu Yiming's turn to pour the wine. Wine cups, bowls and chopsticks were placed at regular intervals on the table to represent the elders who needed to pay homage.

Lu Yiming picked up the pointed wine jug and sprinkled each wine cup half full of rice wine so that he could add more later.

Mother Lu placed lit candles and incense on the southernmost table, and placed a bundled straw mat in the open space in front of the table to serve as a worship mat.

There is a pot-like iron pot on the left front of the Eight Immortals Table, which is used to burn paper money.

Put the purchased paper money and Buddhist chanting firewood in an iron pot and light them, and worship the ancestors in descending order facing the north.

Traditional customs have become increasingly weak in modern times. In the city where he used to live, few people performed traditional ancestor worship rituals. Instead, they held banquets before the New Year and directly signed up for group tours after the New Year. The strong New Year atmosphere was also much lighter.

But along the way just now, almost every household opened its doors to worship ancestors, and the smell of the new year suddenly hit our faces.

"Would you like some wine?"

He took out the wine he had brewed before and poured himself a glass. It tasted okay, a little sweet, and not too alcoholic. Little Star would probably like it.

Sure enough, the husband took a sip from his wine cup, and then drank it all by himself: "It tastes good, sweet and fragrant!"

The little sweet cat licked his lips and stared at the jar of wine. , showing longing eyes.

Lu Yiming didn't let people drink more. Although the alcohol concentration of wine was not high, it was still wine. With this person's drinking capacity, he didn't dare to let people drink it now.

Otherwise, if he misses the New Year's Eve vigil and the nodding of incense, he will be angry tomorrow.

Pei Xing's eyes were glued to the wine, and Lu Yiming came closer and asked, "Is it really so delicious? I just took a small sip, and I didn't seem to taste anything. Would you like me to have another sip, husband?" Pei Xing

didn't. Thinking too much, of course you can drink the wine made by your husband. He poured a glass for Lu Yiming: "Drink, husband."

Knowing that someone didn't react, Lu Yiming gently put his hand on the back of his head, not allowing the person to escape. Get down, open this man's teeth, and enjoy this mellow wine.

After a long moment of kissing her softly in his arms, Lu Yiming finally began to describe: "It's exactly what my husband said, it's sweet and fragrant."

As he spoke, he smacked his lips, with the intention of continuing.

Pei Xing's hand on his chest gently pushed him away: "Husband, it's time

for the New Year's Eve dinner." They came to get the wine to add some excitement to the New Year's Eve dinner, but they didn't expect that the two of them spent a long time in the wine cellar. Dad and grandma are getting suspicious!

Lu Yiming raised his head and caught sight of Mother Lu who was about to call them. He nodded to her and signaled that he was coming. Then he reluctantly let go of the young man's shoulder, put the unsealed jar of wine into the basket on his back, and started to climb up the ladder.

Returning to the kitchen, Mother Lu sighed at Father Lu and suddenly suggested, "Master, how about we get another one?"

Father Lu was very surprised. Did he just see something that made his daughter-in-law say such a thing?

"What are you talking about? You are almost a grandmother. Your body can't bear it. Why do you have to endure this?"

Mother Lu was also stimulated by the two people's sticky energy. On a whim, she really wanted to have a child. How could she have such a face? , maybe Brother Xing is about to have it in his belly.

"I'll just tell you."

Seeing the two of them coming out of the wine cellar, naturally no one mentioned this topic again. Lu Yiming didn't know that he almost had a younger brother or younger sister who were more than 20 years apart.

"This is newly brewed wine. Mom, please have a taste. My husband brewed it. It tastes delicious."

Pei Xing poured it over to Lu's mother like a Buddha, secretly refilling a glass for himself, and drank quickly while holding the wine cup, for fear of Lu Yiming Will take the wine cup away.

"I won't compete with you. Drink slowly, eat some snacks to fill your stomach, and you can still drink two more glasses."

The wine cup is not big, so I can drink three to five glasses without getting drunk, which will satisfy this little smiley eyes. Greedy cat.

Lu's mother and Pei Xing drank red wine, while Lu's father and Lu Yiming drank rice wine.

After three rounds of drinking, father and son didn't speak to each other for a long time. Taking advantage of the new year, Father Lu asked about the progress of his martial arts examination.

They never asked, because they were afraid that Lu Yiming would think that they didn't take him seriously.

After all, five years was a hurdle. They had not participated in their son's growth. Now the young eagle has grown into an eagle. Although the eagle cannot help him when he spreads his wings and flies high, as a parent, the care he should have is still essential.

"Have you decided on the guarantor?"

Lu's father clinked glasses with Lu Yiming. They didn't understand academic matters, but they could still care about other trivial matters.

"Well, it's decided today. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I'll go to town to fill out the guarantee certificate."

"That's good. Is the silver enough? If not, you can just tell us that we will keep the money you gave us. We will keep it on weekdays. It doesn't cost much."

Father Lu is the representative of taciturn. He drinks more wine now and talks more.

"Dad, Xiaoxing and I still have twenty taels, which is enough."

Speaking of going to participate in the interpretation test, Lu Yiming took the opportunity to express his plan to take Pei Xing with him: "Dad, mother, I I'm going to take Xiaoxing with me this time."

A certain little rabbit with rosy cheeks suddenly heard his name, stopped licking the wine a little bit, and turned his head to look at his husband, a little dull.

Husband, do you want to take me to Jiangzhou Mansion?

"Here," Mother Lu and Father Lu looked at each other, and Father Lu was confused, "Can I bring my family here?"

The person who was watched by the whole family said calmly: "Well, the person who vouched for me will bring the young man, and I will bring him." There's nothing wrong with marrying your husband."

The worries on Father Lu's and Mother Lu's faces were clearly visible. Only Pei Xing quietly took his hand and held it tightly without saying a word.

Seeing that the two parties involved were in love and the elders would not ask for trouble, Mother Lu did not say what to do if brother Xing got pregnant on the way, but thinking that Lu Yiming had been back for more than four months and there had been no movement, she felt that it should not be so soon.

It is not easy for my brother to conceive, and it happens every two or three years. The couple is not in a hurry, so naturally they will not be in a hurry either.

While Lu's mother was washing the dishes, Pei Xing pulled Lu Yiming straight to their bedroom.

"Husband, do you really want to take me to Jiangzhou Mansion?"

After being frightened by what happened just now, Pei Xing completely sobered up, and the clouds on his face disappeared. Now he was looking up at him unblinkingly, full of expectation.

"Of course, do you have any unfulfilled promises for your husband?"

Pei Xing shook his head without thinking. Once a husband says something, he must keep it.

He had previously thought that he would be separated from his husband for more than two months. He wanted to spend more time with him all day long, but he did not dare to disturb him to review his homework. It was really difficult. Now that I heard that I could be with my husband forever, how could I not be overjoyed.

"You have been staring at me the past few days, is it because I am leaving and you are planning to look at me more?"

Pei Xing opened his eyes wide. It turns out that her husband knew that he was peeking!

Lu Yiming sat the man on the chair in front of the desk and remembered one thing. He hadn't asked his husband for the kiss yet.

"Do you still remember the punishment of a piece of paper?"

He naturally remembered it, but he was busy these days, so he thought he had forgotten it.

Lu Yiming still remembered when he saw someone, so he naturally leaned back on the Taishi chair, like a great gentleman, waiting for his husband's service.

Don't tell me, I'm looking forward to it.

Under the dim light, the blush that had just faded appeared on his cheeks again, but it was better to wear no makeup than heavy makeup. It reminded him in a daze of that wedding night, when the husband was sitting on the bedside waiting for him like this.

His eyes darkened, heat surged through his body, and he felt a little drunk.

Pei Xing was sitting on his lap. The two were so close that he could see the face clearly. At this time, the eyelashes fluttering because of shyness were gently plucking the strings in his heart little by little.

The other person approached with his eyes closed, and moved away before his lips touched the corner of his mouth. He looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his eyes before daring to press his lips against hers.

The kiss wasn't deep, it couldn't be called a kiss, it was just close together, and finally she licked his lower lip with the tip of her tongue.

Lu Yiming grabbed the back of his head and brought it to his mouth. He didn't take it back to eat, sorry for his patience in waiting.

It wasn't until Pei Xing's hand holding his front trembled slightly that he let go. The man in his arms leaned weakly on his shoulder, breathing deeply.

Lu Yiming did it for him

Smoothing the back is quite similar to giving a big cat a sense of smoothing its fur.

"Husband hasn't learned to breathe for so long. He must have taught me poorly. You should practice more on weekdays."

Pei Xing's breathing paused and became a little rapid. Lu Yiming felt the weight on his shoulders increase, knowing that this man was afraid He does it again.

Afraid, the little guy said softly "Hmm" on his shoulder. No matter how quiet the voice was, he heard it.

Lu Yiming felt the change in his body, but made no move. He just put his head on the other person's shoulder, hugged him and patted him gently, waiting for it to subside on its own.

"Get up, it's time to watch the New Year's Eve and burn incense."

In previous years, the whole family would sit together, eating melon seeds, candied fruits, etc. and holding candles, waiting for the arrival of midnight.

This year was different, they sat around the fireplace, it was much warmer, and they had more to eat and talk about.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, you can see brightly lit lights and every household is watching the New Year's Eve.

When midnight arrived, Lu Yiming and Pei Xing held incense in their left hands and candles in their right hands. They followed a large group of people and walked in the dark to burn incense at Dayin Temple on the outskirts of Jushui Town.

Incense is lingering in the temple, and the abbot and other monks are chanting sutras in the main hall.

The two of them lit six sticks of incense to pray for the two generations. When lighting the incense, the fire should be brighter. This was specially instructed by Mother Lu, which means the incense will be strong.

After burning incense, he chose the Bodhisattva he wanted to worship and kowtowed to pray for blessings. Pei Xing chose Guanyin to send his son, while Lu Yiming just worshiped the Bodhisattva in the main hall.

Smelling the strong fragrance of sandalwood and listening to the chanting of sutras, Lu Yiming gazed at the smiling giant Buddha and worshiped sincerely.

Thank God for allowing him to meet his little star.

****

After washing and lying on the bed, Lu Yiming told Pei Xing what happened yesterday, just to save the matter of being hired to kill him. He didn't want to make the other party worry.

"Are you surprised?"

"Yeah! It's thrilling. It's so dangerous outside. But," Pei Xing flashed his eyes with admiration, covered his mouth and shouted, "My husband is so amazing! He can save people from a crazy horse." The

speaker has no intention of listening, but the listener has the intention. , Pei Xing is still slightly worried.

Lu Yiming moved closer to Pei Xing, lowered his voice and said, "Come on then."

Pei Xing, who was overwhelmed, looked confused.

Um? What's coming?

Soon Pei Xing could no longer think about anything else. The worries in his heart had long been forgotten. The only thought that flashed through his mind was that it turned out that his husband was talking about this "surprise".

Lu Yiming covered himself with the quilt. It was one of the three great joys in life. It tasted really good.

Staying up all night can be regarded as celebrating the New Year in disguise.
