The Young Master of the Coal Miner

In the moonlight, there are willow branches, and the lights on both sides of the Qinhuai River are dim. Young men and women are wandering on the banks of the river, and there are even vendors selling lotus river lanterns on the bridge.

The evening breeze on the bank of the river was cool, blowing away the sweat and dryness from the hands of the two of them.

"Are you going to set off the river lantern?"

Boss Xue looked at the lotus lantern flowing in the middle of the river, and proposed to Young Master He.

It was also the first time that Young Master He had a formal date with his lover, and he had no experience, so he nodded honestly.

The hawkers selling lotus lanterns on the bridge had a very hot business, and there was a long queue in front of the stalls, and the truckload of lotus lanterns was sold out by the time Boss Xue had his turn.

"I'm really sorry, the last two lotus lanterns were bought by the two customers in front." With an apologetic smile on his face, the vendor bowed down to apologize to Boss Xue.

"but,"

Seeing Xue Lin's expression of regret, the peddler had an idea, and took out two carved wooden plaques tied with red ribbons from the stall and handed them to Xue Lin, "But I also have a pair of marriage plaques here, customers can write their names and lover's names On the sign, throw it on the marriage tree over there, and Yue Lao will bless the marriage of the two of you."

Boss Xue looked along the peddler's fingers, and immediately found a big tree covered with marriage cards. Red ribbons fluttered in the wind on the branches, which immediately caught Xue Lin's attention.

"That's all." Boss Xue took the two marriage cards from the peddler, and readily gave him a few oceans, and couldn't wait to take Master He to try.

"Hey, wait a minute, customer..." The peddler was about to stop Xue Lin, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

He Wenyan, who was waiting for Xue Lin under the bridge, saw him running down excitedly, took his hand and ran to the distance, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going? The river lantern will not be released."

Boss Xue waved the marriage card in his hand triumphantly to Young Master He: "Let's hang up the marriage card!"

But when the two arrived in front of the marriage tree, they discovered a big problem, neither of them had a pen.

Boss Xue stared at the two wooden boards in his hand for a long time, and Young Master He persuaded him in fear of disappointment, "Why don't we come back tomorrow?"

But Xue Lin shook his head stubbornly, waiting for tomorrow to not be Qixi Festival, maybe Yuelao would not be here.

Boss Xue suddenly pulled out a small dagger from his waist, took off the scabbard, and casually carved words on the small wooden sign.

"The ones we engrave are more pious than those written with pens."

He Wenyan was instantly amused by his words, watching him leaning against the big tree and carving carefully stroke by stroke.

After carving one of them, Xue Lin carefully blew away the sawdust on the wooden sign and handed it to He Wenyan.

"It's so neatly carved!" Young Master He admired the famous brand in his hand in surprise. If Boss Xue was equipped with a better carving knife, the brand might be more exquisite.

"When my father was young, he was a well-known carpenter in ten miles and eight villages. If I hadn't fled to the south, I'm afraid I would inherit my father's business now and learn the craft from him."

Boss Xue carved his own nameplate and handed it to Young Master He.

He Wenyan held the two red ribbons on the wooden sign and tied them in a knot, looked up at the tall marriage tree in front of him, and asked, "Where do we hang it?"

Xue Lin walked around the big tree, and saw that the side branches were already covered with marriage cards.

"Let's hang it on the top of the tree. It will be easy to see when it is hung high."

The corner of Master He's mouth couldn't help but twitched into a slight smile. He didn't know whether he was laughing at Boss Xue's childishness or his superstition.

But He Wenyan still followed Xue Lin's wishes, and handed over a pair of wooden cards in his hand: "I can't throw it high, come here!"

Boss Xue confidently took over the task assigned by Master He, like a young boy who wanted to show off in front of his sweetheart.

He mustered all his strength and raised his hands. The two wooden nameplates threw an arc high in the air and landed smoothly on the branches of the big tree. The branches swayed slightly as the wooden signs fell.

"Amazing!" Xue Lin was astonished like a boy in his teens, just wanting to be praised by Young Master He.

"Awesome!" He Wenyan nodded, and stretched out his arm to touch Boss Xue's head.

Xue Lin naturally lowered his head to cooperate with him, taking advantage of the opportunity to embrace his young master Jiao into his arms.

The summer wind sends the evening, the treetops sing cicadas, and the red silk of the marriage tree floats gently with the wind.

Under the marriage tree, the lovers quietly embraced each other, and Ren Hongxia floated on their cheeks.

Young Master He didn't dare to speak, buried his head in Boss Xue's arms, and heard the heartbeat of the person in front of him brushing off the disturbing cicadas, as if there were only two people in the world.

When he raised his head quietly, he found that Xue Lin kept looking down at him with his head down, the smile on his mouth persisted for a long time.

All the lights by the Qinhuai River were dim, reflected in Boss Xue's eyes like black ink, making Young Master He seem to have returned to the first time they met.

He was still Xue Yanluo that night, whipping his horse past him, the color of his eyes could not be covered by the dim night.

Xue Lin found He Wenyan in his arms, looked at him bewilderedly, and kissed him involuntarily.

The kiss spread from the forehead to the bridge of the nose, and finally landed on He Wenyan's lips slowly.

Boss Xue changed from his usual rude behavior, carefully probing and kissing lightly, for fear of breaking the treasure in his arms.

The moment his lips and teeth met, Xue Lin truly tasted the familiar sweetness.

The sweet taste is like the only nectar in the desert, and he is a traveler trapped in the vast desert.

When Xue Lin restrained his desire to drink up all the sweetness, he let go of He Wenyan in Nan`feng's arms, and found that Young Master He was already blushing and his eyes were blurred.

Boss Xue realized this time that Young Master He's alcohol tolerance is extremely poor, and his Xinxiang is a famous spirit.

"I want more!" Young Master He wrapped his arms around Boss Xue's neck, trying to press his lips back to his own.

"Okay, it can't be done." Xue Lin persuaded He Wenyan like coaxing a child, and gently took off his arm from his neck.

Although Boss Xue is very happy that Young Master He is so "rare" about him, but if he continues to kiss him like this, he may only be able to carry the drunk Young Master He home.

Young Master He, who was rejected by Boss Xue, was not happy anymore. His drunken peach eyes were full of affection, and his eyes flickered. Looking at Boss Xue was like looking at a heartless man, which made Boss Xue couldn't help but soften his heart.

"I want to tell my mother, you bullied me!"

He Wenyan, who was drunk, frowned slightly, pouted his lips, and started messing around with Xue Lin.

Boss Xue frowned, and was also surprised. How dare he let Young Master He make a small report in front of his future mother-in-law?

How could he have the guts to provoke this little ancestor?

The drunken Young Master He whimpered triumphantly, put his hands around the back of Xue Lin's neck, lowered his head a little, and leaned forward by himself.

Before Boss Xue started to think about it, the Young Master Jiao in front of him went limp and collapsed directly on top of him.

"Ayan?"

Xue Lin looked at it carefully, good guy, Young Master He really passed out from drunk.

Xue Lin picked up the sleepy He Wenyan and prepared to take him home.

Young Master He rested his head on Boss Xue's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep. His face was ruddy, there was a smile on his mouth, and the scent of Baigan wine was mixed in his breath.

Boss Xue summoned a rickshaw on the side of the road, carried He Wenyan into the car, and specifically asked the driver to slow down.

When they arrived at the He Mansion, the concierge of the He family waited at the door early, and immediately reported to the inside as soon as he saw Boss Xue and the young master coming back.

Xue Lin hugged He Wenyan who was sleeping soundly, entered the He mansion, and within a few steps, met Mrs. He who was waiting at home.

Mrs. He saw the drunken face of her eldest son, and looked at Xue Lin with a somewhat unfriendly look.

"Why did you drink to Yan'er?" Mrs. He raised a slender eyebrow at Boss Xue, her tone full of doubts.

Faced with the questioning of his future mother-in-law, Master Xue was speechless for a while. He couldn't say that He Wenyan got drunk in the bar because of his letter during the kiss?

In a hurry, Xue Lin had no choice but to explain: "Ah Yan drank my wine by mistake, it was too strong."

Madam He trusted him for now and asked him to help carry He Wenyan back to his bedroom.

It was also the first time for Xue Lin to enter He Wenyan's bedroom. He sent Young Master He to Ba Bu's bed. Seeing him sleeping peacefully, Boss Xue couldn't help but smile.

Just as Xue Lin was about to take off He Wenyan's shoes, footsteps came from outside the door.

"Boss Xue, let me do it." Hong Ling pushed open the door, seeing Boss Xue's hand on her young master's shoes, she immediately remembered Madam He's instructions.

Before returning to the room, Mrs. He specially told Hong Ling to keep a close eye on the young master and Boss Xue, not to let them do anything out of the ordinary.

Hong Ling rushed ahead of Xue Lin, took off her young master's shoes, then turned to Boss Xue and said, "Boss Xue, please dodge first, I'm going to change clothes for the young master."

Xue Lin naturally knew that Hong Ling's words were to drive people away. Seeing that He Wenyan had fallen asleep, he had no reason to stay in He's house.

But as long as he thought of the trip with Ah Yan today, Boss Xue couldn't help laughing, and the smile on his face never stopped.

When I returned to Xue's mansion, the old lady Xue saw it. The old lady wondered what a happy event her grandson had, the corners of her mouth were almost turned up to the sky, and she couldn't pull it off.

-

The next day, Young Master He woke up from his drunkenness. The smell of wine originating from Boss Xue had long since dissipated. He sat up with his hands supporting his body, looked around, and found that someone had changed into pajamas.

"Master, you're awake." Hong Ling was coming in from outside with a washbasin in her hand. She soaked the washcloth in the hot water she had just brought, wrung it dry, and handed it to He Wenyan with both hands.

Young Master He took the washcloth with a little doubt on his face: "Yesterday, how did I come back?"

He Wenyan's memory was broken when he kissed Xue Lin, and he returned to his home when he woke up.

"Boss Xue sent you back last night. You were already asleep when you came back." Hong Ling confessed honestly.

After washing up, Young Master He went to the dining room to have breakfast.

He Wenyan came late, Mrs. He and Mrs. He all went out, He Wenyang went to school, and there was only Mrs. He left in the dining room.

Seeing that the eldest son just got up now, Mrs. He couldn't help saying a few words: "Look at you, you're so drunk that you're only waking up now. Xue Lin told me everything about last night."

Young Master He paused: "What? Xue Lin told Mother about our kiss?!"

The author says:

In the end, Boss Xue was given a "small report" by Master He to his mother-in-law.
