Chapter seven hundred and ninety sixth hand in hand
Zhou Jiyue never expected that Yue Qianqiu would say such a significant event in such an understatement. At this moment, she was most grateful that she had turned her back to him, otherwise her face that could feel the hot and warmth would definitely fall into his eyes. She tried her best to show the most steady tone of her life and tried her best to pretend that she was nothing.
"This is your private matter, what does it have to do with me?"
"Why is it not my business? You forgot, who told me that I had to know me better than before and had to grasp my flaws? Now, I can tell you what my flaws are and what my wish is. Do you know? Da Wu is very big, Bei Yan is also very big, but it is far from the whole world..."
Yue Qianqiu kept the last little distance between the two people, and said leisurely: "Beyond the territory of Dawu and Beiyan, there is a vast world. The bitter and cold area in the north is a vast iceberg. Going westward across the desert, there is a small country like our state, and a big country as big as that of Dawu and Beiyan combined..."
"Across the endless sea in the south, there are natives living on many small islands. They are not eating raw meat and drinking blood. They have already established their own country. Because the climate is so good, they can fill their stomachs without much care. The spices are even more numerous, so they are not very hardworking, and they don't think about exploring a bigger world. Oh, if you have nothing to do, you will send a few envoys to Jinling and exchange specialties for gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain and silk. There are many people on these islands."
"When going east, you have to cross an even more endless ocean. There is a vast continent over there, with endless jungles... It is hard to imagine that it is a land of heaven-given honey flowing, and people are very smart, but they are not like ours. There are big countries standing up early and have a very large population. But if you have nothing to do, you will believe in gods and be fooled by sacrifices, and sacrifice a lot of living people on the altar. As a result, a city-state suddenly disappeared completely, leaving ghost towns..."
These things that had never been mentioned to others were said to Zhou Jiyue as if they were gossiping. At this time, even if they could not see the expression of the beauty in front of them, from the stunned back, he knew that Zhou Jiyue was shocked by the scene he described. So he reached out and easily grabbed the tenderness again.
This time, Zhou Jiyue finally got out of the trance after a long time. When she found that Yue Qianqiu had held her hand, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked shamefully and annoyedly: "Did you just talked about those things to coax me?"
"Yes." Yue Qianqiu did not hide anything, but just smiled and held her hand. "The world is very big. I once said that when I set sail and go out to sea in the future, I will live my life leisurely. It is risky to travel thousands of miles. How can I go without a companion? Especially since I was trapped by Emperor Beiyan and Xiao Jingxian, I am almost like a soft-legged shrimp. If I don't find a backer, how far can I go?"
Of course, after he really got his wife, he would not go out to sea to be a navigator casually... It is really a dream to arrive in America these days. If you have time to become a king in Southeast Asia, he might as well study how to become a mountain king in India!
It was clearly a topic that should be under the moon, but was distorted by Yue Qianqiu to this point. Zhou Jiyue felt that she didn't know how to react. She looked at Yue Qianqiu's hand that she refused to let go, and then looked at his extremely calmness, as if she was not holding a girl's hand at this moment, but talking about a very ordinary topic. Her already messy heart was finally about to collapse.
"Yue Qianqiu, stop talking nonsense!"
"I'm serious." Yue Qianqiu smiled again, and suddenly glanced in a certain direction. Seeing someone who had just come over there, he turned his head and ran away in a panic. Zhou Jiyue, who should be smarter than him, didn't notice it because of his chaotic mood. Then he felt relieved to say the most important thing, "Besides, isn't the marriage between the leader of the Bailian Sect and the head of the Xuandaotang sect?
Despite saying the matchmaking words, the fat man was still unwilling to play the role of the prince who met other people's expectations alone. He took advantage of the opportunity to coerce Yue Xiuyi and get Yue Qianqiu and Zhou Jiyue back. I don't know how long it took, but he just waited for Yue Xiuyi's return, but he was alone, with no one behind him.
The little fat man showed anger in front of others, but after Yue Xiuyi sat down behind him, he immediately grabbed the hem of the person's clothes. Regardless of Yue Xiuyi's expression, he lowered his voice and shouted: "Where is Qianqiu Ren?"
Thinking of the shock he was when he broke through that scene, Yue Xiuyi didn't know what to say at this moment. He could only vainly try to free his clothes from the claws of the fat man, but after a while of fighting, he finally gave up this futile effort and explained helplessly: "I saw... I saw Uncle Jiu and Lord Zhou... that..."
The little fat man felt itchy as if countless ants were crawling around, but he had to maintain the majesty of a prince in front of others. He raised his glass to drink to cover up his abnormal expression, and then he seemed calm, but in fact he couldn't wait to ask: "I said, Chang'an, can you speak? How is that guy Yue Qianqiu and Sister Zhou?"
Yue Xiuyi looked around and saw that the others did not notice him and the fat man. He had just sorted out the messy mood just now and then whispered: "Uncle Jiu...Uncle Jiu took Lord Zhou's hand..."
"What!" This time the little fat man finally couldn't help it. He shouted suddenly, and when he found that countless eyes gathered on him in an instant, he realized that the good image he had just maintained had disappeared. Realizing that he had to make up for it at this moment, he could only choose to sell Yue Qianqiu in a hurry.
"I heard from Chang'an that Qianqiu was in front of the moon and was happy for a moment, so he lost his composure." He knew that his words would be in an uproar, and immediately said righteously, "Don't say that he was neglecting his duties. In fact, he went to Beiyan to die for the rest of his life. I had already told my father that he would give him a long vacation."
Although he said this beautifully, he was really itchy when he couldn't watch such a lively atmosphere. But in order to confirm his title as a mediator, he had to suppress his anxiety and said calmly: "When I first came, I matched him and Lord Zhou. After all, they have not met each other for a day or two since childhood, and they are actually very compatible. However, I really didn't expect Qianqiu to move so quickly."
Master Yue Er and Master Yue San were very dissatisfied. However, there was a lot of laughter during the meal. Yue Xiao Si was even clinking glasses with Princess Ping'an as if celebrating. Old Master Yue was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled at Princess Dongyang. They knew that they could not expect other juniors to question, so they could only sulk themselves.
When a large group of people digested the news, Old Master Yue said calmly: "Well, Your Highness, the matchmaker is a good matchmaker. If it can be successful, the old minister must give you a thank-you gift!"
The little fat man was immediately overjoyed: "That's a matter of just one word! I promised that I don't want those tricky things. I just want your promise to Master Yue!"
Although everyone knows that the value of a promise is worth a lot, facing the prince of the East Palace with his eyes shining, Old Master Yue still agreed: "Okay, a gentleman's word..."
"It's hard to chase after all!"
Seeing that the fat man had already responded to the second half of the sentence impatiently, Yue Xiaosi couldn't help but cover his forehead, then approached his wife and whispered: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is definitely a big loss... He probably doesn't know that my old man never thinks he is a gentleman, and he often says that a gentleman can be deceived... Compared to those hypocrites, he is a real villain who is open and honest."
"How can you arrange your father like you!" Princess Ping'an angrily said, "After being more curious about the progress Yue Qianqiu and Zhou Jiyue were at this time, I couldn't help but pull Yue Xiaosi hard, "Stop talking nonsense, Qianqiu and Jiyue..."
Yue Xiaosi glanced at the depressed Nuonuo and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Do you want to see it?"
Although she was not so willing to admit that she would like to join in the fun, Princess Ping'an tried her best to tell herself that Yue Qianqiu is different. After all, since she heard Yue Xiaosi talk about the adopted son who was far away from the sky, she was very curious about the child who had a mysterious life experience but had always lived a free and easy life. Since she gradually got close to people, she has treated people as her son even more.
Because Yue Qianqiu's free and easy personality, who can be open to everything, really deserves her appetite.
So, after hesitating for a moment, she whispered: "Yes, I want to go and have a look."
"That's good!" Yue Xiaosi immediately became frowning, then held his wife's hand tightly, and suddenly stood up and said, "I can't bear to drink. I'll take her back to the house to rest first. Please forgive His Highness, the eldest princess and father."
When Yue Xiaosi said this, he immediately looked like a peerless and good husband, carefully caring and supporting Princess Ping'an to leave the seat, and Nuonuo immediately followed him with a smile. Faced with this family of three, many people were naturally muttering to him. The eldest wife guessed their little thoughts. While she was angry and funny, she did not speak out.
However, the fat man was so angry that he hadn't seen it as fun. How could he let the couple of Yue Xiaosi and his wife take the lead? Even if he respected Princess Ping'an, the matter was not discussed! So, he immediately stood up and was about to say regardless of his identity that he would give away the fourth wife, but in a flash, Yue Xiaosi stopped.
He looked in that direction and saw the two of them appearing at the door of the hall, and what was more conspicuous was the pair of hands holding each other. He clearly saw that Zhou Jiyue seemed to have twitched hard and intended to break free, but he was not careful that Yue Qianqiu had used some tricks. Anyway, the hand was finally firmly held in the palm of Yue Qianqiu.
Although he had just won the identity of a matchmaker, he couldn't help but feel a little bit stingy when he saw this scene, especially when he thought that he was still alone and had no place to fall in love, he became even more angry.
But his knife-like gaze could not affect Yue Qianqiu at all, because the next moment, he saw the man dragging Zhou Jiyue openly to Yue Xiaosi and Princess Ping'an, and then... he raised his chin at Yue Xiaosi like a demonstration.
"I just heard that my dad wants to take my mother back to her room to rest?" Yue Qianqiu didn't even look at Yue Xiaosi's face, which seemed to have eaten coptis chinensis, said to Princess Ping'an with a smile, "Don't rush to rest when you go back, I'll come to talk to you later."
As he said that, he looked down at Nuonuo. Seeing that someone was staring at the hands he and Zhou Jiyue were holding, he smiled and winked at the little girl: "Nuo Nuonuo will go back with her mother, and turn around and cook the crystal cake for you to eat."
"Hmph, Xiaoen Xiaohui wants to buy me at all, but there is no door!" A cold snorted from his nose, Nuonuo grabbed Princess Ping'an's hand and dragged it out hard, and shouted, "Mom, don't pay attention to Brother Qianqiu, who forgot his mother with a wife!"
When Zhou Jiyue, who had just pretended to be calm and ignored the gazes around her, finally couldn't help it. She finally tried her best to shake off Yue Qianqiu's claw, but the scorching gaze did not leave, but instead stuck to her more firmly.
Especially the kind and kind eyes of Mr. Yue and the meaningful eyes of Princess Dongyang made her unable to even hide, and the resentful eyes of the little fat man could be ignored for the time being.
Zhou Jiyue's face was almost red, but Yue Qianqiu had no idea of blushing. He turned around and gave Nuonuo a thumbs up, ignoring the little girl's posture, he turned sideways again to hold Zhou Jiyue's hand. He did not think about it this time and did not force it. He came to Old Master Yue and bowed with a smile.
"Grandpa, you don't have to do anything to your father and mother, and the aunt and the others are working hard. I will choose my own wife."
"Do you think your eyes are better than elders?" Old Master Yue teased him deliberately. Seeing Yue Qianqiu raise his head but smiled without saying a word, he smiled indifferently, "As long as you can coax everyone to let go, I will follow you at that time. The prince was still talking about his support for you. Should you thank him?"
The little fat man had just sold Yue Qianqiu, but he was sold by Old Master Yue. When he saw Yue Qianqiu looking over with a smile, he immediately complained secretly. Although Yue Qianqiu's lifelong affairs were unresolved, there were corresponding candidates. No matter how he was like him, there was no one at all. If Yue Qianqiu turned around and made some damage, it would be terrible!
However, before he could figure out how to shirk responsibility ingeniously, Yue Qianqiu walked over, raised his hand with a smile and bowed: "Grandpa has said everything, of course I should thank His Highness the Crown Prince! Don't worry, I will... do my best to do my best!"
The last five words seemed to burst out from his teeth, making the little fat man's eyelids twitch. However, he soon died and was not afraid of boiling water and laughed, "That's a matter of certainty... Qianqiu, it's not me who said you, Lord Zhou, I usually call you sister, and my friendship is no worse than you. If you bully her, I won't follow you!"
