Chapter 22 Restlessness

Yan Qing is very passionate about eating, drinking and having fun, but he only respects the same food, which is the candied haws.

He always felt that candied haws were not sweet at all, and they were sour. If you take a bite, the layer of syrup wrapped in the outer skin would not work at all, and it would be sour and toothless.

He looked at Ling Hua and said, "Then let's look for it?"

Ling Hua nodded.

The two walked two more streets along the abortion, and finally found a stall selling candied haws in a back street. But one step late, Ling Hua watched the last bunch of money being bought by a half-aged child.

She looked at it pitifully and said to Yan Qing, "No more."

Yan Qing was funny and helpless, thinking that she was sometimes unable to stand it, and sometimes she looked like a child. He took out a ingot of silver, walked over, and handed it to him when the child was about to bite the candied haws, and said to him, "Is this ingot of silver, buy your candied haws, will you sell it?"

The child stopped moving.

"Do you sell it?" Yan Qing asked him with the money in hand.

The child seemed to want to eat candied haws too. Looking at a ingot of silver, he was already a half dozen children, and he already knew how much copper coins a ingot of silver was worth, and he struggled.

Yan Qing said, "You have three copper coins in a string of candied haws, but the one ingot I give you is worth 600 copper coins. In other words, if you take this ingot of silver, you can buy two hundred singots of candied haws tomorrow."

"I'll sell it." The child decisively handed the candied haws to Yan Qing.

Yan Qing handed the silver to the child, and handed the money in one hand and the goods in the other.

The child looked at the candied haws that had already arrived in Yan Qing's hand, and turned around and ran away with a ingot of silver. He seemed to be afraid that he would run slower, so he couldn't help but regret it. After all, candied haws are really delicious.

Yan Qing got the candied haws and turned around and handed them to Ling Hua. The face was calm and breeze, "Give it, eat it, little greedy."

Ling Hua reached out to take it and smiled sweetly, "Thank you brother."

She bit off a candied haw, but her lips didn't touch the one below, and handed it to Yan Qing, "Brother, eat it too."

Yan Qing turned her face away, "You can eat it yourself?"

He watched her eat, and his teeth were sore.

"It's very sweet." Ling Hua emphasized.

Yan Qing said "um" and didn't look at her, or said, "You eat it yourself."

Ling Hua ate three in a row and found that he was walking by himself, and she didn't even look at her. She looked over and found that the tip of his tongue was against his cheeks, looking sour. She couldn't help laughing, "Brother, I'm afraid of soreness."

Yan Qing didn't want to pay attention to her, "Eat quickly."

Ling Hua nodded, held back his laughter, and finished a string of candied haws.

After eating the candied haws, he also returned to the small inn. Ling Hua was in a good mood and gave the guy a ingot of silver and asked him to carry two buckets of water into the room.

The young man smiled, "Young master and wife have seen the lantern competition? Who won the championship?"

"We didn't enter the stadium and just walked around the street. The lights of the Li Family Shop are very good and well-deserved." Ling Hua said with a smile, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Li Family Shop should still win the championship."

The young man said, "The only daughter of the Li family shop owner has been very talented in making lanterns since she was a child. The palace lanterns of last year were made by the Li Shaodong family. Who really said that women are not as good as men?"

Ling Hua nodded with a smile, "Most women are smart and skillful."

The guy went down with the silver, and soon, someone carried two large buckets and put them in the room. He closed the door considerately when he left.

Ling Hua casually inserted the door from the inside and said to Yan Qing, "Brother, can you carry a wooden bucket with one hand? You raise one of the buckets of water from the screen, I'll wash it in the screen, you wash it outside the screen."

Through the screen, there will be no influence on each other.

Yan Qing took a deep breath, "No need to mention it, you can wash it first! With such hot water, you can't get cold after washing."

Ling Hua nodded, "Okay, I will wash it faster."

Ling Hua took out the newly bought clothes from the package and entered the screen.

Yan Qing sat on the table drinking tea, not wanting to hear the movements in the screen, but his ears and ears were so good that he could only hear the rustling sound of taking off his clothes inside, and then he heard the slight sound of entering the bucket, and then he heard the sound of his hands picking up water.

He drank a cup of tea, not only did he not quench his thirst, but he also felt more and more thirsty.

He stood up suddenly, turned around and opened the door, and walked out.

Ling Hua heard the movement behind the screen and shouted to him, "Brother, where are you going?"

"Take a walk in the yard to digest food." Yan replied to her lightly.

Ling Hua was strange. He didn't eat much dinner. He went out to play for more than an hour and walked several streets. Haven't he digested it yet?

The door was closed from outside. Yan Qing did not really take a walk in the yard, but stood at the door. In Fengshan County, the winter in the capital was warmer than the capital, but it was still cold compared to Jiangnan, especially the cool night, and his restlessness was relieved a lot.

Ling Hua's movements were not slow. She washed it for about three cups of tea and dressed properly. She quickly walked out and opened the door. Seeing Yan Qinglong standing at the door, she was very quiet. She looked at the moon and didn't know what she was thinking. She asked, "Brother, have you not taken a walk to digest food?"

"The moonlight is good." Yan Qing turned around and looked at her, "Is it finished washing so soon?"

Ling Hua nodded, "It's not dirty, it's washed quickly."

Yan Qing let out a "hmm" and turned around and went into the inner room, took clean clothes, and entered the screen.

Ling Hua closed the door, held a veil and tucked his hair, turned around and lay on the bed, just like when he was sharing a bed on the boat, lying on the inside. Logically speaking, when a couple lives together, women should lie on the outside to take care of their husbands. This is the so-called way of being a wife, but Yan Qing has no preference for people to take care of, so Ling Hua lay on the inside. This is the habit of being pushed by Yan Qing to the inside and lying down by the wall after the wedding.

Ling Hua was lying on the bed. Listening to the movements inside, she had no idea. After all, it was useless to think too much about Yan Qing, so she was very well-behaved, just thinking that Liuli and others should have received the news that she sent someone to send him to the next time?

If the magistrate Zhu of Fengyang County is related to Du Wei, wouldn’t it also have something to do with the Eastern Palace? If he could invite a great scholar like Lu Tiancheng who is highly respected and knowledgeable in his identity to be a referee, then Fengshan County should not be underestimated. Is the magistrate Zhu also a member of the Eastern Palace?

And these great scholars of the times who were invited by him would also be pulled into the camp of the Eastern Palace?

After Yan Qing entered the screen, the entire screen was filled with the fragrance of soapcorns and water vapor, which was filled with mist. He felt a warm heart. He took several deep breaths before entering another bucket of water that had not been moved by Ling Hua.

Ling Hua thought about it and when he came to his senses, he found that a long time had passed, and Yan Qing had not come out from behind the screen. She asked, "Brother, why have you washed for so long?"

Are men taking a bath slower than women?

"I fell asleep accidentally." Yan Qing replied in a hoarse voice, and there was a rumbling sound inside. He came out of the water, wiped the water, dressed it properly, twisted his hair with a veil, and left the screen.

Ling Hua sat up from the bed, "Brother, I'll help you twist your hair."

Yan Qing paused for a moment, walked away to the window, "No need for you."

Ling Hua said "Okay", and could only lie back on the bed, talked to Yan Qing about County Magistrate Zhu and Du Wei, talked about the Eastern Palace, and then talked about Lu Tiancheng and others.

Yan Qing listened, and she really felt that she had fed the dog with an irritable mood. Even if he couldn't fulfill his family now, she couldn't be so heartless, right?

He suddenly lost all his impatience, slowly squeezing his handkerchief and listening without saying a word.

Ling Hua said for a while, but didn't see him talking, and asked him, "Brother? Are you listening?"

Yan Qing reluctantly said "yes".

"What do you think?" Ling Hua asked, "Do you think I'm right?"

Yan Qing didn't want to pay attention to her, but she still said, "Lu Tiancheng will not surrender to the East Palace. The magistrate Zhu County is indeed upright. He will not have heard of the things the East Palace has done over the years, and he should not surrender to the East Palace. Even if he has something to do with Du Wei, he should have a personal relationship."

Ling Hua felt relieved when he heard this, "That's good."

She was really afraid that Xiao Ze would take down Qingshan Academy, the leader of the three major academies that all students praised. Xiao Ze's virtues were not worthy of his position. If he was praised by all students, that would be very annoying.

Yan Qing quickly tucked her hair, turned off the lights, and lay back on the bed. Because it was a small inn, a single room, the bed was very small, and the two could barely lie side by side. Yan Qing couldn't even separate a little from Ling Hua.

As soon as he lay down, Ling Hua automatically pulled his arm and rested his head, and got into his arms in a habitual and comfortable position.

Yan took a breath slowly and wanted to say something, but Wen Xiang was in her arms. He was a little reluctant to let it go, so he closed his mouth and gave up.
