Chapter 34
"Dr. Mei?"
Mei Zhuyu came to her senses and coughed gently, "What's the matter?"
The little official holding a few volumes of books didn't know why this Mei Doctor who was serious about work was absent-minded all morning, so he could only repeat the words just now.
Mei Zhuyu nodded and said, "Let's go." After the others left, Mei Zhuyu was about to continue copying, but when she looked down, she found that there was a ball of ink on the paper in front of her. She didn't know when it was splashed on it. Maybe she had been in a daze for too long.
He silently put the paper aside, and unexpectedly recalled the two kisses that were too intimate last night. When he realized what he was thinking, Mei Zhuyu calmed down again and firmly dispelled the hazy and ambiguity in his mind.
Clear your mind and calm your mind.
Just as he was slowly focusing on his work, a tabby cat jumped into the window. It was Wu Zhen who had solved the affairs of Concubine Mei for Queen Wu. However, Mei Zhuyu didn't know that this uninvited kitten made him feel uneasy all night. Although he was surprised when he saw the familiar tabby cat, he didn't care, but just took a look.
Until he felt something more furry and warm in his arms, he paused and found that the tabby cat was lying in his arms in a familiar way, stepping on his wrinkled robe, as if he was still preparing to sleep here.
He was kneeling. In such a correct sitting posture, he had a cat in his arms, which was really not suitable, so Mei Zhuyu put down his pen and picked up the tabby cat and put it aside. But the tabby cat just glanced at him lazily, raised his paws and prepared to jump into his arms. Mei Zhuyu stood up halfway, pulled out his mat and placed it aside, letting the tabby cat lie in the mat, kneeling on the smooth floor to handle official business.
Wu Zhen looked at the mat and his knees, and he reluctantly slid his cat's beard. Forget it, don't bother him anymore. This kind of sitting posture would be uncomfortable. If there was no mat, her knees would probably be uncomfortable. Thinking of this, she wouldn't stay here and jumped out of the window and ran away.
In the Qingning Palace of Empress Wu, looking at Concubine Mei who had recovered from her human form, Empress Wu, who had always been majestic, was almost crying with joy - it was so good that she finally didn't have to continue holding the white cat anymore! Although she knew that the cat was Concubine Mei, she still couldn't accept it in her heart, and the hair on the back of the cat would stand up every time she hugged the cat. But because it was Concubine Mei, she had to bite the bullet and hug it. If this matter was resolved a few days later, she... would have to get used to it.
Concubine Mei held Queen Wu's hand. Although she had experienced this strange encounter, she had no intention of being frightened at all. She still spoke softly to Queen Wu, "Thank you for your hard work. I have to hide my disappearance these days and endure that I will become like that."
Queen Wu quickly said, "It's good that you can recover. Thank you for your hard work. There's nothing wrong with Su Han's appearance."
Concubine Mei smiled and said, "If there is nothing wrong with it, why don't we keep a cat? After this, I think the cat is actually good."
Queen Wu's face turned blue. Concubine Mei laughed out loud, and her slender hands were a little on her forehead, "Just kidding."
"However, for me, Your Highness gave the treasure seal in the treasure house. How will His Majesty explain in the future?"
Queen Wu regained her usual calmness and didn't care much. "That thing is precious, but in the eyes of Your Majesty, it is not as good as a song that can be covered up. Don't worry."
While the two of them were talking, they entered the inner hall. Concubine Mei suddenly exclaimed in a small sigh and pointed to a gilded crane lantern, "Your Highness, look."
Queen Wu looked at it and saw that the Sutra-Cannensis seal that had just been taken away by the tabby cat demon was actually hung on the crane's mouth. Concubine Mei was very thoughtful and thought it through in the blink of an eye, and said, "It seems that this cat immortal came to help us, but she was afraid that your highness would have doubts, so she specially asked for this thing for remuneration. Now that the matter is resolved, it will put the seal back."
Queen Wu didn't know what she was thinking, and her brows gradually locked up, as if she had thought of something, and pinched her sleeves. Is this cat related to her sister again?
Wu Zhen came out of the palace city and went nowhere, so he went straight back to the Duke of Yu's mansion. She heard from the servant that cousin Pei was staying in the yard to appreciate the flowers, and walked to the garden to find him. Wu Zhen held a dark shadow in his hand and saw Pei Jiya standing among the blooming peony flowers, with a romantic and handsome appearance, and shouted to him, "Cousin Pei."
Pei Jiya turned her head and saw a black shadow hitting him. His eyes flashed. When the thing was about to touch him, he slightly avoided him.
When he hid, Wu Zhen certainly understood, "It's you, this 'cat lichen' is doing well, but my cousin shouldn't use it randomly."
Pei Jiya: "How did Zhen guess it?"
Wu Zhen: "Can I look stupid?"
Pei Jiya smiled and then changed her voice, "Since Zhen knows, then you should understand, we are more worthy, right?"
Wu Zhen had refused before, but now he heard him mention this matter again, so he was too lazy to say more to him: "I don't want to say the same thing again, today you will set off back to Queensland."
She said it was polite. Pei Jiya didn't expect her to be so straightforward and said a little sadly: "Why, don't you even let me attend the wedding banquet? After all, it's your cousin."
Wu Zhen said bluntly: "If Cousin Pei sincerely came to my wedding banquet, I would naturally welcome it, but Cousin is malicious, I have to worry that you will attack the people around me again." She paused, "Especially my husband, he is just an ordinary person, I am afraid that he can't bear to pay extra attention to my cousin."
"My cousin should be glad, fortunately, you haven't taken action against him yet, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you back today, but I beat you up so hard that you couldn't stand up and let someone carry you back."
Pei Jiya:... Actually, he has taken action but has not succeeded. If he could directly deal with Mei Zhuyu, would he need to be so roundabout?
However... Pei Jiya found that Wu Zhen didn't seem to know that Mei Zhuyu was a Taoist priest, which was interesting.
"Okay, then I'll go back to Kunzhou." Pei Jiya didn't bother him much. Although he was a weird person, he was very conscious of the times. Seeing that Wu Zhen became serious, if he angered her, this cat man would probably not make him feel better.
It is precisely because of this that Pei Jiya would only cause some big and small things. Otherwise, if he really wanted to make trouble, Chang'an City would have been a big deal. He didn't want to have a quarrel with Wu Zhen. Wu Zhen obviously thought that he was not as strong as her, so he could only take a step back.
Pei Jiya did pack up her things and went back to Kunzhou the next day. The Duke of Yu probably thought wrong. Seeing his nephew leaving on the eve of his daughter's wedding banquet with a pale face, he also said that he was worried that his daughter could not let go, so he wanted to leave this sad place. He felt a little guilty. A few years ago, his nephew wrote him a letter to him to ask for a daughter, but at that time his daughter didn't want to get married at all, so he refused. Now, if it weren't for Master Jingyan's comments before his death, he wouldn't have forced his daughter to marry the Mei family's Dalang. He could only say that he was wrong and sorry for his nephew.
Pei Jiya, sitting in the carriage, looked at the weeping willows on the river bank in the distance. Under the willow tree was a man holding a horse, Wu Zhen.
She broke a willow branch to send him. Pei Jiya didn't get off the carriage, but only lifted the curtain of the carriage. Wu Zhen handed the willow branch in, looking at his pale face and said solemnly: "Listen to me, you are an ordinary person after all. Even if you are extremely talented here, you cannot completely control those non-human things. If you don't control yourself carefully, you will suffer one day."
She rarely had this solemn look. Pei Jiya finally sighed and took the willow in her hand, "You are going to marry someone else, so what do I do."
Wu Zhen smashed the curtain and said, "Okay, go quickly."
The carriage gradually drove away from Chang'an City, and Pei Jiya surrounded the green willow in the carriage. Of course, he was unwilling to accept it, but he was a cousin after all, so he gave an interesting gift to vent his anger on being driven away.
"Zheng, when will you find out?" Pei Jiya looked happy and expectant.
As soon as Wu Zhen returned, he was also shaking a willow in his hand. She also had a happy expression on her face and laughed in a low voice: "Cousin Pei, see when you can find out."
She can be said to know Pei Jiya very well. She is very stingy. If she leaves so simply, she will definitely have some help, so she also responded in advance. Calculate the time, when her cousin Pei returns to Queensland, the "rat lichen" she made will take effect. At that time, she will have to ask her cousin, who is full of tricks, to be a rat for a few days.
As the saying goes, treat the person's body with the way he is.
As soon as Pei Jiya left, Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu's wedding date was right in front of him.
On the first day of the fifth month, it is advisable to marry.
Wu Zhen got up late on weekdays, and slept until noon this day as usual. If it weren't for the Duke of Yu who sent people to shout, she would have to sleep for about an hour. She yawned to the flower hall, and saw her father walking around nervously in a hat, and laughed casually: "Father, it's me that's not you, why are you so anxious and nervous?"
Duke Yu glared at the uncontrollable daughter with a fierce look, and opened his mouth and said, "Look at what you look like, you talk nonsense all day long without any rules. You don't look at the weather, you still sleep, don't get up early and prepare, and when the time comes, it's still messy and like something!" These words were tossed and turned.
Wu Zhen drank the sip of the sausage brought by his servant and sat there calmly, not like his daughter's house who was about to get married. "What's the matter in a hurry? The wedding banquet is still early and there is nothing to prepare for."
As the saying goes, a wedding is a silence, which will not start until dusk. Chang'an is a down-to-earth atmosphere. If the woman is married, if the woman is rich, the wedding banquet will be arranged at the woman's home. Sometimes the man is very happy to live in the woman's home after marriage. Regarding these things, Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu said that the wedding banquet is in the Duke of Yu's Mansion. As for where he lives in the future, he will do it cheaply and live wherever he wants. He is the only master in Mei Zhuyu's house. In the house of Duke of Yu, Wu Zhen is the only one who lives forever, and the two are very free.
Not long after noon, the Duke of Yu's Mansion finally became busy. First, the slaves were busy setting up tents in the wide area behind, which was the place for wedding banquets and banquets. Some people were placing a hundred-school tent, which was the place where a couple sat and lie down at the wedding. Wu Zhen held a plate of crispy and sweet sautum in one hand, and ate with relish. He watched the slaves placing a hundred-school tent, put some beautiful things in it, and a pomegranate picture was placed underneath.
"It's too small, make it bigger, you're making a cage." While Wu Zhen raised his legs and pointed, Mei Si and Cui Jiu and his group came over with sticks, and their excitement was written on their faces.
"Sister Zhen, we are here."
"Sister Zhen, don't worry, we all brought guys to guard the door today. The Mei family's Dalang didn't think it would be so easy to enter!"
These teenagers plan to act as relatives of the woman and guard the gate for her. In the past, they were not good at attacking Mei Dalang, but today is different. This is the only chance to make things difficult for him in his life. Any man who wants to marry someone else's wife has to survive this, and it is not so easy for him to achieve everything he wants!
Seeing that they were ready to go, Wu Zhen didn't say much, let them make trouble, anyway, nothing could happen.
"Second Madam! Second Madam!" Some servant looked for her with his skirt. Seeing that she was still watching the tent of the tent here, he was very amused and pulled her to the room, "Second Madam, don't look here. This tent of the tent of the tent of the tent is not something that the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the tent of the
The two ladies who were mixed in the teenagers heard this and followed them. Several of them hugged Wu Zhen back to the room. Wu Zhen let them push them with a smile, and he was holding the fried sauerk in his hand. "It's still early, so I'll finish it."
The slave smiled helplessly, "Which wife is like you, the second wife, who is still so slow when the wedding is over."
Wu Zhen didn't understand why they were more excited than her. He took a good bath and sat there and let several servants dry her hair and put on several layers of wedding clothes. The woman's wedding clothes were green, wrapped in layers of green gauze, and she had to wear a large-sleeved shirt of blue flowers outside, which was the one that had been decorated with golden flowers and jade flowers by everyone.
She usually has a casual hair bun, but today she is also taken care of by everyone, and her head is shining with gold and jade.
Finally, there is makeup on. Wu Zhen doesn't like to doodle on his face, and at most he has eyebrows. However, many ladies nowadays like to dye their eyes and make blush and put on big flower ornaments. She is a bride today, so of course she can't help but this. Wu Zhen was too lazy to talk to this group of chattering ladies, so he had to let them do whatever they wanted and close their eyes to rest. As a result, after putting on makeup, she opened her eyes and was startled by the blurry shadow in the mirror.
OK, it's even more terrifying than the ghosts in the demon city. She wanted to tear it down, but when she thought about the expression that would appear after seeing this, she held back. She used this to scare him. When Wu Zhen smiled, he felt something falling on his face and asked, "Did you slap the flour on my face?"
Madam Sun smiled and couldn't straighten her waist, holding her shoulder and said, "Sister Zhen, this is fragrant powder. I specially made it for you. Will you smell it?"
Wu Zhen's nose could no longer smell. After they had just tied sachets around her and put incense beads and smoked her clothes, she felt that the nose was full of a rich fragrance and could not smell any other smell.
This is really a pain. She now hopes that the young man will come sooner, so that she can avoid the fact that she will be like a clothes rack and a makeup bag.
Mei Zhuyu did come early, but was stopped outside the door by a group of vicious "brother-in-law", including her cousin Mei Si who was supposed to help him enter the door.
Cui Jiuzhao Langjun and others held sticks in their hands and looked fierce. Seeing Mei Zhuyu getting off the horse, they immediately shouted: "Beat!" and then rushed over.
Mei Zhuyu had never attended someone else's wedding, and he didn't know this custom. His uncle, who should have taught him these things, pulled him to drink last night. He got drunk and talked about a lot of hardships after marriage. Finally, he almost cried, but forgot to tell him how to deal with these things today.
So, when he saw a lot of people hitting him with a fierce look, he was a little surprised and then calmly and lightly caught the sticks, pulled them out and threw them aside. According to custom, he had to be beaten obediently, and these people would not really beat them, just pretending. But Mei Zhuyu didn't know, so he saw that everyone was stunned, so he nodded at them and walked into the door.
He wanted to see Wu Zhen earlier.
The brother-in-law looked at each other in disbelief, "Why did he take the stick in my hand just now? Why didn't I see clearly?"
"Ah, yes, why is he so light?!"
"Why are you standing there? Just let him in so easily? Hurry up and keep guarding the gate!"
Only Zhao Langjun, who had seen Mei Zhuyu beat people in the dark alley, looked calm and expected. He had already seen Mei Zhuyu's terrible things. Today he was carrying a sword, which was very cruel, but it was useless. He was still taken away by someone and threw it under his feet. He was too much and too disgraceful.
Mei Zhuyu is more cruel than the past today. All the people in front of him are made of paper. In a short while, he came to Wu Zhen's boudoir. He faced the big window in the room. At this time, he should recite the poem to urge makeup. He had been outside for several rounds just now. At this point, he became nervous. As long as he thought of Wu Zhen being behind the window, he would not dare to speak.
He had never seen Wu Zhen again after that rainy day a few days ago, and now he couldn't help but think of the intimate nasal entanglement that day.
Behind him, a group of teenagers came after him panting, and saw the cold-faced evil man, stunned at their sister Zhen’s window.
"Uh, is he blushing?" Someone suddenly said in a low voice. Then the thunder sounded everywhere, and the teenagers laughed in a bunch.
The window was suddenly opened from the inside, and the sound scared the group of people outside. A figure appeared in the window. When they saw the person clearly, everyone choked.
Mei Zhuyu was stunned, her eyes widened a little. Standing by the window was Wu Zhen. She held her head that weighed more than Mount Tai and laughed out loud, "Are you scared, or didn't recognize it?"
Before Mei Zhuyu could speak, someone in the room pulled Wu Zhen back, and the window was closed again with a clang. Mrs. Xie's voice sounded inside, "Sister Zhen, you haven't read the makeup urged poem yet, why did you open the window like this!"
"Yes, I have to let him wait for another half an hour, so how easy it is!"
A group of teenagers outside also gathered together and whispered, "Is that Sister Zhen just now?" "I didn't recognize it all at once, why did my God feel like I had changed my face?" "What does it mean to change my face? I can't see my face clearly." "What do you know, the bride needs to put on makeup like that." "Ah, I'll get married in the future, and I don't want to see the other person doing this. It's too terrible."
Mei Zhuyu turned her head and said to them: "It's not scary, it's good-looking."
The boys: "..." It seems to be true Ai Zhenjie.
The window was pushed open again, and Wu Zhen obviously heard the sound outside and said to Mei Zhuyu: "Mr., aren't you scared?"
Mei Zhuyu: "I was scared, but because it was you, it still looks good."
The boys: I didn't see it, my face was serious and cold, but I didn't expect to speak so tiredly! I really can't behave like a person.
In the room, Mrs. Xie Zisun wanted to close the window again, but was stopped by Wu Zhen. She lifted her skirt, stepped on the window frame, and then jumped out. The slave in the room exclaimed, "My wife, this is not in accordance with the rules! You have to walk through the door and step on the felt mat!"
Wu Zhen directly grabbed Mei Zhuyu and ran away, "Let's go, go directly to the wedding banquet behind." He whistled again, "Mei Si, please follow me. I specially ordered the good wine in Chengjia Tavern today, but I can't drink it if I'm late."
Chapter completed!
