Bystander

The magistrate made a good plan. If he doesn’t want the Yang family’s money, he wants the young lady of the Yang family to cheer his nephew up. The people and the money will be his own in the future. There are a lot of sons in the Yang’s mansion, and there is only one daughter missing. Gritting his teeth, he agreed.I heard that the magistrate's nephew treated Yang Ke very well, and Yang Ke seemed to accept her current husband, and she also faced a husband who was gentle and considerate to him, and who looked like Pan An. After a long time, that woman would still refuse.

Time passed day by day, from spring to summer, from winter to spring, counting Chuyao and Jiang Jingtang have known each other for more than a year, and the two have gradually developed a friendship unconsciously, Chuyao likes Jiang Jingtang, likes Jiang Jingtang always It looks indifferent, and I follow indifferently, and it is comfortable to be together.

"Chu Yao, would you marry me?" Jiang Jingtang said suddenly while drinking tea that day.

Chu Yao looked at Jiang Jingtang in surprise, but Jiang Jingtang was as calm as saying that today's tea is delicious, as calm as a lake without ripples.

Before waiting for Chuyao's answer for a long time, Jiang Jingtang looked at Chuyao and asked, "Will you marry me?"

Chu Yao nodded dully.

Jiang Jingtang smiled, Chu Yao actually thought that Jiang Jingtang was very good-looking today, even his eyelashes were pretty.

"It's getting late, I'm going back today, let's set a date if we have time."

After Jiang Jingtang left, Chu Yao regretted endlessly, how could Chu Yao agree with him? He was not an ordinary person, so how could he grow old with Jiang Jingtang in the future.But Chu Yao was angry in his head, but his heart was full of joy, his eyes turned into crescent moons.

Chuyao's wedding was very simple, there were no gongs and drums, no red makeup, and no Sina riding a tall horse to marry her. Jiang Jingtang said that he was poor and could not give Chuyao anything, and he would make up for Chuyao when he was elected and became an official Come on, just invite a few friends now.So, at their "wedding banquet", it was revealed that they themselves were the storyteller, the tea master, the oiran, and the poor-mouthed second son.Er'er drank too much and said to Jiang Jingtang, "I said, Jingtang, you are lucky to marry my shopkeeper." It doesn’t matter whether you have money or whether you will be an official, even the wedding banquet can depend on you, so it’s just to take care of your face.” At this time, Jiang Jingtang’s face changed slightly, and the storyteller pulled He tugged on Xiao Er'er's sleeve, motioning him to stop talking, Xiao Er'er pushed the storyteller away and continued, "You have to treat our shopkeeper well, otherwise, we will not spare you lightly, do you hear me!"

Jiang Jingtang drank a glass of wine sullenly, and said in a low voice, "Okay."

In the end, it was the scene of Huakuan's knot, "Hey, it's getting late today, let's go, don't delay the wedding ceremony of the newcomer." After finishing speaking, he and the storyteller dragged Xiaoer away.

Chu Yao's little face was flushed, not because he drank too much wine, "Jingtang, don't drink, go to rest earlier."

Jiang Jingtang hummed, continued to drink one cup after another, and finally passed out drunk at the table, Chu Yao used the strength of the boss to help Jiang Jingtang back to the room.Like a little maid, Chu Yao served Jiang Jingtang, wiped his face, took off his clothes, and slippers for him. After working for a long time, he was sweating from exhaustion, washed up casually, and fell asleep next to Jiang Jingtang.

The life after getting married is no different from before, Jiang Jingtang studies hard in the academy every day, Chu Yao still takes care of business in the teahouse, but Chu Yao feels happy even in such an ordinary life.

Chu Yao always thinks that hiding Jiang Jingtang's own identity is sorry for him, so he tries his best to treat him well, and when he is free, he chases after Jiang Jingtang and asks Jingtang what do you like to eat?Jingtang, do you want to go out and play?Jingtang, shall we go mountain climbing?Jingtang, let me buy you some clothes!Mirror Hall!Mirror Hall!Like a follower.

Every time Jiang Jingtang smiled back at her and said, "I have homework to do today, if you want to go, let Xiao Er'er go with you, or I will take you there next time."

Chu Yao was obviously very disappointed, but he didn't want Jiang Jingtang to feel guilty, so he grinned and said to Jiang Jingtang, "Well, reading is the most important thing. In fact, I don't want to go at all. I'm exhausted every day. I'm just afraid that you will be bored."

Jiang Jingtang patted Chu Yao's little head, turned around and went back to his room to continue studying.

Seeing Chu Yao's "upside down", Hua Kui couldn't help but say a few words to her, "Shopkeeper, why are you so unreserved, man, women who are too easy to get, especially women who are upside down, don't care too much, you have to Learn to say no to yes."

Chu Yao didn't take Hua Kui's words to heart, "No, Jingtang is not such a person. He is studying and will be the number one scholar in the future. I will be the wife of the number one scholar. You are all friends of the wife of the number one scholar. Happy, are you happy?"

Seeing Chu Yao like this, Huakui didn't say anything more. Instead, Xiao Er'er was nagging and chattering all day long, which made Chu Yao so annoying. Chu Yao knew in his heart that Xiao Er'er was related to him, but Xiao Er'er It would hurt Jiang Jingtang if he always said that.

The storyteller said to Chu Yao, "Master, this old man shouldn't talk too much, but I'm always a person who has been here, and I want to say a few words to you, man, don't give too much of your love, too much will hurt your body, as the saying goes, "Love is not deep." Longevity, if you are extremely strong, you will be humiliated', husband and wife should be of the same heart, but they must not lose their heart."

Chu Yao nodded, but she just listened to it and didn't remember it in her heart. For Chu Yao, Jiang Jingtang was the first and only family member since she could remember. It's just pure love, more of family affection and desire for family members.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival that day, Chu Yao left Xiao Er'er, Hua Kui, tea art master and storyteller to eat and enjoy the moon. The five sat around the table, talking and laughing.

"Seriously, I would like to thank the shopkeeper for redeeming me, really," the oiran held his glass in one hand, "I have been in the brothel for seven years, seven years, my best years were spent in the brothel, but when I The years have passed, and the procuress of the brothel wants to knock me out again. In the past seven years, I have made money to support scholars, but I have no money to hug wealthy families. I've been alive," Hua Kui put her arms around Chu Yao's shoulders, "I really feel like I'm alive here, thank you, shopkeeper, I've done it, you can do whatever you want." Hua Kui took a sip of the spirits in his glass.

"It's a big festival, why do you say such touching words? It's sour." Chu Yao said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, what are you talking about? Oiran, you can't hold back your alcohol." Xiaoer said.

"I can't drink, sister, I grew up drinking."

"Another pot?"

"One more pot!"

Chu Yao is happy to see them. She seems to have a big family here, with brothers, sisters, elders and husband. Chu Yao secretly looks at Jiang Jingtang.

"What do you see me doing?" Jiang Jingtang lowered his head and asked Chu Yao.

Chu Yao blushed all of a sudden, "I didn't!"

"Oh, I was wrong at that time." Jiang Jingtang embraced Chu Yao.

"It's because you were wrong that I didn't see you."

Chuyao's request is very simple, and it will be good to live like this in the future, but things always backfire, Chuyao's little happiness quietly changes because of a piece of news.

The next day, the gossiping little Er'er leaned in front of the counter and said to Chu Yao, "Shopkeeper, have you heard? The magistrate's nephew died. It was the husband of Jingtang's former lover. He died suddenly last night. The doctor went to see him." It's time to die."

Chu Yao glared at him, "You are so idle, didn't you see that the table was not cleared?"

Xiao Er'er continued, "You said you died suddenly at night, why? Was it Jingtang's ex-lover...Hey shopkeeper, why are you shy? I didn't say anything."

"Go, go, work quickly." Chu Yao blushed and pushed away Xiao Er who was standing in front of him, but saw Jiang Jingtang standing behind Xiao Er'er with an ugly face, Chu Yao hurriedly asked "Jingtang, what's wrong with you? Yes Aren't you sick?"

Jiang Jingtang waved his hand and said, "No, I'm just tired, I'm going back to my room to rest."

The oiran who was resting at the side saw it, and shouted at Xiao Er'er, "It's all your fault, why is the mouth so big?"

Xiao Er'er looked innocent, "How do I know if he is standing behind me, does he have eyes behind me?"

Chu Yao has no intention of making them noisy, and is full of Jiang Jingtang.

Jiang Jingtang went back to the room and sat on the edge of the bed, holding his forehead with one hand and supporting the edge of the bed with the other. Jiang Jingtang thought that Yang Ke would live happily ever after, but now that her husband passed away, is Yang Ke going to be a widow at such a young age?Jiang Jingtang slapped himself suddenly and said to himself, "What do you want to do? Do you need to worry about it? You have married Chuyao, what a wonderful woman Chuyao is, you can't let her down." Finished, as if exhausted all the strength, fell on the bed, closed eyes and did not know if he was asleep or not.

"Jingtang, it's time to eat, Jingtang." Chu Yao shouted from outside the door, at this moment she didn't dare to go in casually, she was afraid of seeing Jiang Jingtang feel sad because of Yang Ke.

"Here we come." Jiang Jingtang opened the door and saw Chu Yao standing outside the door, "Why didn't you enter the house?"

"Everyone is waiting for us to eat." Chu Yao avoided answering.

At the dinner table, no one said a word, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

"Little Er, is there any guest gossip today?" Oiran wanted to adjust the atmosphere.

The little Er'er got the order, and immediately raised his spirits to talk about what he heard today, but he brought up the matter of the magistrate's nephew, "I heard that as soon as the magistrate's nephew passed away, his mistress began to make things difficult for his daughter-in-law. Now, what did you say that the daughter-in-law is a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and finally killed her husband, tsk tsk tsk, why don't you say that Miss Yang is justified, she is a sick child..."

The oiran immediately stepped on the little Er'er.

"Why are you stepping on me?"

"Well, it's getting late, Er'er, you're full, right? Let's go when we're full." The storyteller grabbed Er'er's collar and left with the tea master and the others, leaving behind The livid Jiang Jingtang and the sullen Chu Yao were alone at the dinner table.

"I'm full, I'm going to read a book."

"Ah."
