Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 765: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 26

On the day when the "Bronze Box System" was implemented in the capital, Xiao Yunzhou was sitting in the wedding tent set up outside Aniu's house.

The wedding tent was set up under the old locust tree. It was not big, but many people in the village were asked to help.

The red silk, which had changed color, rustled in the mountain wind, sweeping across the stove ash on Xiao Yunzhou's forehead.

He lowered his eyes, holding the coarse porcelain bowl, which contained rice wine diluted with water. The clear soup was visible at the bottom, and even the men playing rock-paper-scissors could be clearly reflected.

"Azhou, have some pork elbow."

Miaomiao was sitting aside listening to a few aunts from the village chatting. When she saw meat on the table, she immediately picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork elbow and put it in Xiao Yunzhou's bowl.

Some people in the village rarely eat meat in a year. If they pick up their chopsticks for even a second after the meat dish is served, it would be disrespectful to the meat.

Sure enough, when Miaomiao put the pork elbow in Xiao Yunzhou's bowl, the meat and vegetable plates on the table were completely empty, even the radish as a side dish.

Miaomiao was not greedy for meat. This meat was wild boar meat that Aunt Aniu had ordered from her two days in advance. She didn't ask for too much, but Miaomiao took the initiative to give her a large piece of meat, which made the wedding more perfect.

Xiao Yunzhou looked down at the small piece of pork elbow that Miaomiao had put into the rough bowl. Although the bowl looked rough, it was at least clean. The stewed pork elbow was cut into small pieces. There was not much meat, but it looked mushy. Xiao Yunzhou didn't like to eat these before.

But now it’s different. This is Ah Niu’s wedding banquet, the bride is not his lover, and even this is the pork elbow that Miaomiao snatched for him.

Whenever Xiao Yunzhou thought of this, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. The sweetness in his heart accumulated little by little, which was rare and made his brain crash a little.

Miaomiao saw Xiao Yunzhou looking down and not sociable, so she patted him on the shoulder and whispered something in his ear.

There was no way. Those people holding Xiao Yunzhou's portrait had clearly left a few days ago, but they ran into him yesterday. However, Xiao Yunzhou, after his disguise, was different from the elegant young man in the painting, and he did not attract anyone's attention.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yunzhou's focus was different from hers. She was concerned about Xiao Yunzhou cheering up, while Xiao Yunzhou was concerned about the sweet scent when Miaomiao came over.

He is indeed not prepared for anything now, but his mental and physical reactions are very sensitive.

As soon as Miaomiao got close to him, he couldn't help but breathe irregularly, his muscles tightened, and even the tips of his ears began to turn pink.

"Sister, are the dates in the copper basin sweet?"

In order to divert attention, Xiao Yunzhou deliberately lowered his voice and asked.

There weren't many meat or vegetables at Aniu's house, but there were a lot of wild fruits from the mountains, which were served on the table as dishes.

What Xiao Yunzhou was talking about were the wild dates placed in the small basin next to Miaomiao. The dates were not big and were green in color. They must have been picked and served on the table before they had fully grown.

But this is also very normal. Nowadays, many fruits are picked before they are ripe. Who would eat truly ripe fruits?

"If you're not hungry, you can eat the meat first. These dates aren't very sweet."

Miaomiao thought about the taste of the dates she had just put in her mouth. They were a little sour and astringent. Even the Son of Luck probably couldn't accept this.

She brought him to the banquet just to make others more familiar with him. As for whether they ate or not, no one cared.

Everyone's eyes are either on the bride and groom or on the meat that is occasionally served on the table. Those who don't grab the meat are considered good juniors in their eyes.

Xiao Yunzhou wanted to say something, his throat rolled up and down, and his eyes involuntarily showed a hint of obsession.

But a sound not far away attracted Miaomiao's full attention, not only Miaomiao's, but also the attention of the entire wedding tent. It was Aniu carrying the bride across the fire basin.

Some people stood up to watch the fun, some took the opportunity to eat a few more bites of food, and the crowd erupted in laughter and jeers, and several leaves of the old locust tree were shaken off.

A leaf just happened to fall into Miaomiao's hair. Xiao Yunzhou raised his hand almost instantly and plucked the leaf off. His fingertips caressed her hair, which was smooth and soft...

Miaomiao felt the touch on her head and turned to look at Xiao Yunzhou. He looked at her with a smile on his yellow and black face.

"One more day, and no one will be able to trouble me anymore. Sister won't have to worry anymore."

Xiao Yunzhou leaned close to Miaomiao's ear and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Miaomiao looked up at him and found that his eyes were surprisingly bright, but she didn't ask any more questions.

Even when I asked her, she didn't understand, but she knew it must not be easy.

Miaomiao sighed and patted Xiao Yunzhou on the shoulder.

"You will definitely return to your original world again."

Xiao Yunzhou lowered his eyes and chuckled. The two of them lived in a world of their own, seemingly out of place with the people in the village who were still watching the excitement, yet they seemed strangely integrated into it.

Xiao Yunzhou felt that today was indeed a rare good day.

What is before them is a poor but lively wedding, while in the capital city thousands of miles away, a bloody storm is about to break out.

When the wedding firecrackers of the Aniu family were blasting, the copper box in the capital was filled with sheets of evidence showing the crimes of the Gao family and its current head, Gao Shiqi.

Afterwards, a complaint was also stuffed in. The words were sincere, but they would definitely make anyone who heard them heartbroken. It could be considered a gift from Xiao Yunzhou to the Gao family.

Xiao Yunzhou knew that from this moment on, he could focus on the path to success.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunzhou lowered his head and drank up the rice wine mixed with water in the bowl. The spicy taste made his throat tight, but it still couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from turning up.

The wedding banquet lasted until the afternoon. There were few dishes but many people. When it was over, Miaomiao saw that all the plates on the table were as clean as new, without any soup left.

In the next two days, Miaomiao took Xiao Yunzhou to the town to deliver the prey as usual and to buy some things. However, things were just as Xiao Yunzhou said. She did not see those people who pretended to be yamen runners holding his portrait again.

In the evening, when Xiao Yunzhou was chopping firewood in the yard, a gray carrier pigeon landed on his shoulder and took off the black iron ring wrapped around its foot.

This was a secret letter sent to him by the secret guard. Nothing could be made out at first glance. It was not until the paper was soaked in a special potion that the words finally appeared.

[The Emperor is furious. The Crown Prince has been implicated. He orders the Third Prince to oversee the trial. The three clans of the Gao family have been surrounded.]

Things were developing faster than he had imagined, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Xiao Yunzhou walked to the newly bought water tank, which was already filled with water. With the help of the sunlight on the opposite side, he could vaguely see what he looked like now.

Although his dark and yellow face and the scar across his cheek were all his own fault, he had to live with such a face and identity.

He suddenly remembered that when he was a child at the Imperial College, the teacher once pointed to the sand table and said, "The copper box is a double-edged sword."

This thing was not used in Dachen for too long before it was sealed again, but at least at this moment, it served as a sword that finally split the power of the Gao family and even cut off a piece of the prince's wings.

Since you can't learn to control power, then give it to someone more suitable...

When Miaomiao returned from hunting, before she could even see what was happening, she was hugged by a young man who ran out of the door. The embrace was warm and strong. Miaomiao thought she was a master, but she struggled for a long time in Xiao Yunzhou's arms and couldn't get free...

...is outrageous!
