MTL - The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

  Chapter 1125 Ending  Ending 1

Needless to say, Mo Yan returned safely, and everyone in the Mo family was happy and excited. After the mountain road was bombed, Letovia and others relaxed their vigilance and came to the end of the mountain road. Before they had time to be happy, they were ambushed by thousands of men who had been ambushed by Xiao Ruiyuan in advance. attack.

The two sides engaged in a fierce fight at the mountain pass. After the Utuos used up the remaining dozen or so pieces of gunpowder and killed and injured most of them, they were finally outnumbered and were all captured by Xiao Ruiyuan's men. They were taken back to the capital that night and imprisoned. In the Criminal Prison, after counting the number of casualties, it was determined that no one had escaped.

The next morning, Emperor Hui'an rewarded Xiao Ruiyuan heavily in front of all the civil and military officials. The various treasures he gave made the ministers who were used to seeing treasures envied him with envy, especially Emperor Hui'an's sincere encouragement to Xiao Ruiyuan. Let everyone clearly realize that General Xiao has great favor and has not lost the trust and favor of the king of the country.

Many people looked back and suspected that Xiao Ruiyuan's previous rebuke by Emperor Hui'an was just a show for the Uto people. Thinking of this possibility, some people immediately broke into a cold sweat and wondered whether they had made any further mistakes after Xiao Ruiyuan was reprimanded.

Xiao Ruiyuan was loyal to the country and was not bewitched by Wu Tuo's craftsmanship. He planned to catch all of Wu Tuo's craftsmen in one fell swoop. His contribution was no less than winning a battle, so he was duly rewarded.

Emperor Hui'an's move not only encouraged meritorious ministers, but also had the effect of winning over people's hearts. Many people were gearing up to do great achievements, so that they could get promoted to high positions and protect their wives.

Emperor Hui'an walked down the court with a smile on his face and returned to the imperial study, his face suddenly turned ugly. Amid the trembling eunuchs, they headed to the former Hengjun Prince's Mansion, where Hengjun, who had been deposed from the throne, would be imprisoned. Xiang Chuye was brought to the imperial study room.

At this time, in the prince's residence, the cousins ​​Xiao Ruiyuan and Chu Heng were drinking and talking.

“Hanzhang, this time I was able to capture all the Wutuo people in one fell swoop and find out the people behind the scenes. You have done a great job. My cousin gives you a toast.” Chu Heng picked up the cup filled with wine and thanked him sincerely.

"Without the cooperation of His Majesty and his cousin, Hanzhang is not sure that he can catch all these people and save Yan'er. It is Hanzhang who should be the one to respect his cousin." Xiao Ruiyuan raised his glass and took the initiative to propose a toast to Chu Heng, and then drank it. All.

Seeing this, Chu Heng shook his head helplessly and drank the wine in the glass in one sip: "My father and I just cooperated with you in a show, but it was you and Hejia who really contributed, especially Hejia, she Her contribution is the greatest, if she were not worried about her reputation being damaged, my father would definitely reward her generously."

Taking into account Mo Yan's reputation, at the request of Xiao Ruiyuan and Chu Heng, Emperor Hui'an did not explain the fact that Mo Yan was captured by the Wutuo people and used it to threaten Xiao Ruiyuan. He only said that the Wutuo people had evil intentions and wanted to instigate Xiao Ruiyuan, and their wolfish ambitions were clear. visible.

"No, Your Majesty can care about Yan'er's reputation, which is more important than any reward. Hanzhang also expressed his gratitude to his cousin on Yan'er's behalf." Xiao Ruiyuan poured the wine as he said it, and toasted Chu Heng again.

Chu Heng couldn't laugh or cry, and joked: "Originally I came to thank you for hosting this banquet, but now it's you thanking me! If you really want to thank me, don't borrow my flowers to offer me Buddha. It's too shameful." Sincerely, how about you go to Mo’s house one day, let He Jia cook a banquet in person, and formally thank me?"

The Mo family's meals are extraordinary. They are not as varied as the imperial chef's. What's better is that they can use the most common ingredients to make the most delicious dishes. Chu Heng fell in love with it after eating it twice, but as the prince of a country, he couldn't always go to other people's houses to eat and drink. In addition, he was busy with official duties, so he rarely went there even if he had a legitimate excuse.

Xiao Ruiyuan glanced at his expectant cousin and decisively changed the subject: "I wonder how the Holy Emperor will deal with him this time."

The originally harmonious and joyful atmosphere was completely destroyed by this sentence. Chu Heng put down his wine glass, and the smile on his face faded: "There are only two results, either ignoring it or not mentioning it, or a glass of poisonous wine. No matter which one it is, the final result will not change."

Chu Heng thought he was tolerant enough towards Chu Ye. Even though he wanted him to die, he still never took any actual action. This time, Chu Ye sought death again, and Chu Heng no longer wanted to let him go. If Emperor Hui'an chooses to expose it, he can only do it himself to avoid future troubles.

Xiao Ruiyuan undoubtedly knew Chu Heng. Hearing the killing intent in his tone, he shook his head and said: "What he did has crossed the bottom line. I'm afraid the Holy One will not let him go this time. Cousin, don't be impatient."

Chu Heng nodded, and his originally fluctuating emotions gradually calmed down, "I know what's going on and won't act impulsively."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruiyuan felt relieved.

Chu Ye was a thorn in Chu Heng's heart. Even though the death of Queen Chunyi was not directly related to him, he was the son of an enemy, and it was inevitable that Chu Heng would be angry. Furthermore, his actions over the years have already crossed Chu Heng's bottom line. If Chu Heng hadn't been concerned about Emperor Hui'an, Chu Heng would have gotten rid of him long ago.

“Your Highness, someone from the palace has given instructions to your Highness to enter the palace immediately.” Halfway through the drink, the **** who was waiting in front of Chu Heng walked in quickly to report.

Xiao Ruiyuan glanced at his cousin and couldn't guess what Emperor Hui'an meant by announcing his cousin's entry into the palace at this time, but it must have something to do with Chu Ye.

“Cousin, you are free to do as you like, I’ll go first.” Chu Heng obviously thought of this, he stood up and said to Xiao Ruiyuan.

"Well." Xiao Ruiyuan also stood up and reminded: "Cousin, this may be an opportunity." An opportunity to kill Chu Ye in an honest and fair manner.

Chu Heng understood what his cousin meant, nodded tacitly, and then went back to the backyard to change clothes.

Xiao Ruiyuan didn't want to stay long. After seeing Chu Heng out, he also left the Prince's Mansion and rode straight to the North City Gate.

 …

"Sister, why did your injury come out before it's healed? Go back to bed and lie down, don't let the wind blow you." Xin'er and others were basking in the sun in the corner. When they saw Mo Yan coming over with a deck chair, Xin'er was confused. He jumped up and quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Mo Yan came back safely. Mo Qingze and Cui Qingrou were completely relieved. They wanted to take a few more days off to stay at home with Mo Yan, but Mo Yan didn't want to bask in the pity of her parents and tried her best to persuade them to go back. Beijing.

Xin'er and Sheng'er were frightened and refused to be separated from their sister, so they stayed at home and "monitored" their sister for their parents, preventing her from getting out of bed.

Mo Yan deliberately pretended to be asleep to deceive her two younger sisters. After they left, she immediately put on her clothes and shoes and took out the deck chair to bask in the sun.

"It's just a bump on the head and it's not a broken muscle or bone. Your sister and I have been lying there all day and all night, and I'm almost sick." Mo Yan gently pushed her sister away, stubbornly put the recliner under the corner, and sat down. Spread out and bask in the warm sun.

Seeing this, Xin'er stamped her feet anxiously, rushed back into the house and took out a sheepskin hat: "Just put this on. Your wound hasn't healed completely. If you get wind, be careful and you may get a headache." Don't be exposed to the sun, it will leave scars."

Mo Yan was helpless and just about to say no, her eyes were stung by the white sunlight. She quickly took it and put the eye mask on her eyes, covering the scab wound on her forehead: " Is that okay?"

Xiner glanced at it and nodded reluctantly: "Let's do this for now. Just don't take off your hat."

Mo Yan breathed a sigh of relief and sank into the couch covered with thick fur. From time to time, she said a few words to Xiner and the others. Under the sunlight, her body gradually softened, like a lazy big cat.

The real "big cat" Hairball came over to join in the fun. His huge head rested very comfortably on Mo Yan's lap, and he purred happily from his throat.

　In addition to the red python that entered the space to hibernate last night, the remaining four beasts are also there. They each found a comfortable place to lie down, raising their heads from time to time to look at the blue sky, at the passing birds, and at Mo Yan, who was basking in the sun with his eyes closed in the corner, squinting his eyes and wagging his tail. , enjoying the quiet and leisurely winter days.

Mo Yan originally just basked in the sun and chatted with her family, but she became drowsy while basking in the sun and fell asleep without even realizing it.

Li Xiu and the others, who were chatting lively, did not hear Mo Yan's voice. After a closer look, they found that she had fallen asleep, so they turned off their voices one by one and went about their work quietly, fearing that the sound of drawing threads would be too loud. Noisy, woke up Mo Yan.

Xin'er went back to the house and took out a fiery red fox fur blanket and gently covered her sister's body.

Xiao Ruiyuan stepped into the Mo family's yard and immediately saw Mo Yan sleeping quietly.

Against the backdrop of the fiery red leather blanket and sunlight, Mo Yan's flawless cheeks looked even more delicate, and the tiny hairs were clearly visible, as if the gentle breeze could leave a mark on her fragile skin. There are shallow traces on the bottom.

Xiao Ruiyuan sat on the chair next to the recliner, looking at his fiancée for a moment, his eyes as gentle as water, and he could no longer hold anything in his eyes.

This night, Mo Yan slept particularly deeply. He didn't wake up until an hour later. He was woken up by the pressure of the big head of the hair ball and the poor blood flow in his legs.

Mo Yan, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. She lazily took off the hat covering her eyes and stared at the flowers and plants swaying in the wind in the flower bed, unable to realize where she was for a moment.

This confused look instantly hit Xiao Ruiyuan's heart. He originally wanted to wait for his fiancée to find out, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and stepped forward to hold her in his arms.

The yard was so quiet that Mo Yan didn't even think that there was someone sitting next to him. He was hugged off guard and jumped. He subconsciously reached out to push, but was hugged tighter.

"What's wrong? You don't even recognize your husband anymore? How do you think your husband should punish you?"

Xiao Ruiyuan pretended to be dissatisfied and said, his voice was low as if he had been hypnotized, which made Mo Yan feel sleepy again, so that she ignored the man's words.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Ruiyuan's heart softened. He gently touched her sleeping red cheek and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.

"Why are you here? Are you taking a rest today?" After Xiao Ruiyuan made such a fuss, Mo Yan completely woke up and was quite surprised by his arrival.

“I didn’t take two days off before, and this time the Holy Father promised me two more days.” Xiao Ruiyuan played with Mo Yan’s delicate fingers, and his voice was full of joy: “I can spend these few days with you.”

Mo Yan was very happy when he heard this: "It is rare for the Holy One to be so generous. You can relax for a few days."

 At this point, she suddenly remembered another thing and asked: "What will those Uto people do? You won't care about this anymore, will you?"

Xiao Ruiyuan nodded: "This matter will be taken over by the Ministry of Punishment. I think there will be a result in a while! Lei Tuo and Weiya have a high status in Wutuo, and they should be able to ask a lot of things. In any case, the Holy Lord will not Let these people go back to Uto."

　　Although those craftsmen developed muskets, which are more flexible than gunpowder in combat, Uto's gunpowder is more lethal. No one can deny this. The Holy One suspected that Wutuo had created something more powerful than gunpowder, and wanted to dig it out bit by bit from the mouths of Lei Tuo and others.

 So Lei Tuo and others will not die for a while, and I am afraid they will be worse than dead. Until they lose the value of their existence, then I am afraid they will be truly relieved.

 Xiao Ruiyuan did not intend to tell Mo Yan this point.

Mo Yan didn't think too much. When he heard that his fiancé no longer had to worry about those Uto people, he was happy and blurted out: "If possible, I really hope you will stop dealing with these dangerous things."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Mo Yan regretted it. She lowered her head in annoyance, not daring to look at Xiao Ruiyuan's face.

No matter how helpless he was when he joined the army, it is undeniable that this man was born for the battlefield. Every time he talks about border issues, he always talks a lot more than usual, and he feels more free and comfortable living in border areas than in the capital.

Since she has chosen this man, she should have been mentally prepared to face separation and a life of fear in the future, instead of clearly expressing her displeasure and forcing him to make promises that he cannot fulfill like she does now.

Xiao Ruiyuan looked at the uneasy woman, and his heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. It didn't hurt, but it made him uncomfortable. He always thought that his fiancée was different from other women, that she yearned for the life on the border.

He once thought that if he chose to guard the border in the future, he would take her with him, settle down at the border, and take her to watch the sunset over the long river and the solitary smoke in the desert...

He didn't know until now that she, like many ordinary women, would worry about her husband who was away at war. Even if he stood in front of her, she would still be worried about the future separation, and he knew It's a little late!

After not hearing the man's voice for a long time, Mo Yan secretly poked the impulsive little person in her heart and was about to explain to the man not to take her words to heart. She was brought into a warm embrace.

“Yan’er, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Xiao Ruiyuan sighed and asked, gently rubbing his chin on Mo Yan’s head.

Mo Yan was confused: What did you say earlier?

The next moment, Xiao Ruiyuan gave the answer: "You don't want me to go to the battlefield or do those dangerous things, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Mo Yan raised her head suddenly and asked in a nagging tone: "I told you earlier, wouldn't you do it?"

Xiao Ruiyuan shook his head, and in Mo Yan's dimmed eyes, he said softly: "I will change for you, and one day I will no longer worry you."

Mo Yan's eyes heated up, and she shook her head quickly: "You don't have to change anything for me. I hope you can do what you want to do, what you like to do. I like you, and I should choose you to be my future husband. I understand and tolerate everything about you, and you don’t have to deliberately change anything for me.”

Looking at the corners of the woman's crystal eyes, Xiao Ruiyuan wiped away the wetness with his fingertips pitifully: "Before I met you, I thought that horse leather shroud was my only destination, but after meeting you, I just want to keep you. Like all ordinary couples in the world, they will grow old hand in hand in an ordinary way. The place with you is the best destination for me."

Once, his only concern was his cousin. When his cousin died, he could not escape the word death; when his cousin was alive, he asked himself to guard the border and died alone. But after meeting the person in his arms, he She cherished her life more and more. No matter how beautiful the scenery at the border was, it couldn't compare to her flowery smile.

Mo Yan looked at the serious-looking man and was speechless: Did she misunderstand him all along?

“What a silly girl!” Xiao Ruiyuan pinched Mo Yan’s nose lovingly and placed a shallow kiss on her slightly opened lips.

The words "silly girl" made Mo Yan feel a little ashamed for no reason. Red clouds gradually appeared on her beautiful face, making her look particularly attractive.

 Xiao Ruiyuan's throat tightened at the sight, and he lowered his head to deepen the kiss, but Mo Yan dodged it.

"There are people coming and going in the yard, and I was bumped into. Do I still want to see people?" Mo Yanmei's eyes widened, and she clenched her fist and beat Xiao Ruiyuan's chest.

Without waiting for Mo Yan to hit her a second time, Xiao Ruiyuan reached out and wrapped her pink fist tightly: "They are out, we are the only two at home." After the words fell, he directly sealed the woman's delicate lips.

The two people kissing each other seemed to have forgotten the five beasts in the yard. Except for the furball, which was grinning and wanting to rush up to cause destruction, the remaining four beasts looked at the guy who was torturing the single beast thoughtfully, and suddenly the idea of ​​​​this companion came to his mind. .

This kiss was particularly long-lasting. When the two separated, Mo Yan's lips were red and swollen. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what they had just done.

Mo Yan leaned weakly in Xiao Ruiyuan's arms and didn't even want to move a finger.

Xiao Ruiyuan pressed his forehead against hers, and his hoarse voice revealed a faint temptation: "Yan'er, let's get married!"

 Getting married? Mo Yan was confused at first, then shook his head: "No, not this year, my father won't agree."

Her father has just gotten married. If they get married again, people will make fun of them. Of course, she didn't care if others laughed or not, but there was a custom that two happy events could not be held in the same year, so she couldn't mess with the rules, otherwise if something went wrong at home in the future, someone would definitely take it as an excuse.

Xiao Ruiyuan immediately said: "Then we will get married in the first month of next year. There are three auspicious days in the first month."

 He ​​knows that it is not realistic to get married this year, but it would be nice if the date can be set at the beginning of the year so that he only has to wait three months. Although three months is still a long time, it is better than waiting another half a year or even a year...

　　　There is one last little climax, the ending of getting married. Of course, it involves torturing animals. Well, I also torture myself~ (＞_＜)~
