When rivals dress as husband and wife

Chapter 14 Ye Chuan

"Brother Ye, tell me your story." Lin Muan accompanied Ye Chuan to put the lotus lantern into the river, and the two stood on the railing on the river bank to chat.

Ye Chuan turned his head and said, "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

Lin Muan smiled, "I didn't think of it suddenly, in fact, I wanted to ask a long time ago, but I never had the chance."

Ye Chuan nodded, and Qingyue's voice sounded, "My family is in a small village in Yunzhou. My father is the teacher in the village. Many children in the village study with him. My father is very good. Many children can’t afford the tuition fees, and my father will not drive them out. He never deliberately forces me to learn anything, and he doesn’t blame me if I can’t recite books. He hopes that I will make more friends and not be old. I'm bored at home. It's a pity that I am dull by nature, not good at making friends, and have always been alone. After all, I have failed his hopes. My road to fame is actually quite smooth, and I passed the college examination and the township examination very easily. After the rural examination, my father got seriously ill. In order to treat my father's illness, I sold all my family property, but this is still a drop in the bucket compared to the entire medical expenses..."

Speaking of this, Ye Chuan lowered his head, and the drooping eyelashes couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes. Of course, Lin Muan knew the sadness in it, and the era he lived in was not like this.Many families sell everything for a family member's illness, and families that are not wealthy are suddenly impoverished because of an illness.But who can be the master of birth, old age, sickness and death, and who can predict the misfortunes and fortunes of the day and night. My family is not rich and powerful, but it is also a serious and scholarly family.When grandpa got cancer, they still had no choice but to watch their relatives who had been with them for many years slowly close their eyes.

Ye Chuan sighed and continued, "Since my father's illness, I have found a job as an accountant in the city. The monthly money is not much, but it is enough to support my family's daily expenses every month. My father's The disease is getting worse and worse, and the common herbs can no longer control his condition. In desperation, my mother took out the jade pendant given to her by my grandmother and asked me to take it to a pawn shop to pawn it. I found it in a nearby town All the pawnshops, it’s a pity that the prices they offered couldn’t support my father’s medical expenses. I still remember that when I came out of the last one, the snow was so heavy that I slipped on the steps at the door and the jade pendant fell on it. On the ground, a kind person picked it up for me, and finally bought the jade pendant at a high price. The price was more than three times higher than the price offered by the pawn shop. I made a five-year agreement with him. Five years later, in At the entrance of this store, I will definitely redeem the jade pendant at the original price."

Ye Chuan stared straight ahead, the evening wind blew away his forehead hair, Lin Muan smiled and said, "My brother will never give you the jade pendant in this lifetime."

Ye Chuan also smiled, but the smile was bitter no matter how you look at it, "I used the money to take my father to the capital to see a doctor, but unfortunately, my father couldn't support himself on the way and passed away. My mother was heartbroken, but It took me a month to go. That was the most painful period for me. I spent almost every day getting drunk in pubs. The fate in this world is actually quite amazing. I met your brother again. Your brother accompanied me We got drunk for a while, and we have become friends since then. It was he who helped me out of the haze, and I later found out that he was an examinee in the same class as me. We met in Beijing to rush for the exam, and you must know the result later. Gold List It was only when I came out that I realized that your elder brother was actually the eldest son of the imperial governor. At that time, I blamed him for being deceitful, but I also admired his straightforwardness. Later, the two of us were sent by the emperor to practice at the same time. In Jiakang County, Linzhou, he is in Yongzhi County, Linzhou. Almost every month, we would go out to get drunk and our relationship became better. Two years later, the two of us were transferred back to the capital by the emperor. The emperor once I made a request to your brother. In the Golden Luan Hall, your brother asked the emperor to marry us in front of all civil and military officials. Only then did I know that your brother already knew that I was an Asian man a long time ago."

Lin Muan was a little surprised and said, "I thought the marriage was agreed between the two of you, but I didn't expect it to be my brother alone. Isn't he afraid that you don't like him?"

Ye Chuan smiled slightly and said, "It's not that you don't know your brother's temper, he's used to being arbitrary. Maybe he's afraid that I won't agree, so he called the marriage bestowed by the emperor. After all, I'm a frail scholar, and I can't resist the order." respect, isn't it?"

Lin Mu'an smiled, he never thought that Lin Li'an was such a person, it turned out that there was such a tough soul hidden under his gentle appearance.Asking the emperor to bestow a marriage is not a forced marriage for Ye Chuan?

"Then what did you tell the emperor?"

Ye Chuan said, "I am a person who is easy to soften my heart, not to mention your brother and I have been friends for many years. I will definitely not embarrass him in front of everyone, so I have to accept this marriage decree with him under the jade steps. However, The two of us have been together for so long, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no friendship, I thought about telling your brother that I am an Asian boy before."

Ye Chuan said it calmly, but the blush on his face couldn't be covered no matter what.After listening to Ye Chuan tell the whole story, Lin Muan revealed his ultimate goal, "Brother Ye, can you promise me one thing?"

"what?"

Lin Mu'an asked cautiously, "If I make the story between you and my brother into a playbook and a storybook, would you agree?"

Ye Chuan frowned, "When did you have such an idea?"

Seeing Ye Chuan frowning, Lin Mu'an thought he disagreed, and quickly said, "If you don't want to, forget it, I'll just collect other materials."

"I didn't say I disagree. If you don't think it's vulgar, go ahead and write it. Don't forget to let me know after the rehearsal is over, so your brother and I can go and have a look." Seeing Lin Mu'an's slightly nervous expression , Ye Chuan said slowly.

The two chatted about the imperial examinations again. Lin Mu'an saw lantern riddle guessers at the intersection with sharp eyes, and hurriedly pulled Ye Chuan over. This was his specialty.I remember one year during the Lantern Festival, Xingding Commercial Building held a lantern riddle activity, and he even won 5000 yuan.Although the amount is not large, it is already a considerable amount of wealth for the 17-year-old me.

The two of them took a closer look at the rules of this event. It was very different from the previous lantern riddle guessing. The previous lantern riddle meetings were nothing more than rewarding things or money for guessing correctly.But this lantern riddle activity is actually similar to the current level-breaking game.The event is divided into seven levels in total, and each level will have a reward. You can choose to leave immediately with the prize or continue to break through. Of course, the puzzles of each level will be more difficult than the previous level, and the prizes will also be more difficult than the previous one. Guan Fenghou.Many people chose to give up in the first few levels because they were reluctant to part with the previous prizes. Only a few people persisted until the fifth or sixth level, but they all lost with regret.

The two were very interested in this and quickly signed up for the competition.However, since this competition is held on Qixi Festival, the registration requires the husband and wife to come together.Ye Chuan went back and called Lin Li'an and Gu Jiangwan, and the four of them happened to be divided into two groups, A and B.

The riddle that Lin Muan drew in the first level was: Go to Maicheng.

Gu Qiaowan scratched his head and scratched his head for a long time, but he couldn't guess what it was. He could only think of Guan Yu's defeat in Maicheng, but he really didn't know what the word was.Lin Mu'an, on the other hand, looked indifferent. He picked up the writing brush on one side and wrote the word "cui" on the rice paper.Lin Mu'an gave the answer to the boy on the side, and the boy took it back and judged it was correct, and brought the two of them to the next place where the question was drawn.

The first few questions were naturally easy for Lin Muan. Soon, the two reached the fifth level. This time the riddle is: this half looks like ancient Chinese, and the other half looks like ancient people. become a woman.

This time it was a bit difficult. Gu Jiangwan couldn't even guess the first question, and it would be even worse as he went on, so he just watched Lin Muan writing and drawing. After about a quarter of an hour, Lin Muan finally felt relieved. Spread out a smile.Gu Jianwan glanced at the answer he submitted, and it turned out that it was the word "to do".

Lin Mu'an glanced at Group B. Ye Chuan and Lin Li'an also reached the sixth question. Lin Li'an always had a faint smile on his face, while Ye Chuan was studying the puzzle calmly.

The sixth question was drawn by Gu Jiangwan, and after a lot of effort, the two finally answered correctly. At this time, there was already a circle of people around, many of whom knew the two of them, and they actually cheered them up at the moment.

The seventh question is very special, first of all, its riddle is written on the Sajin Xuan, and secondly, the seventh question is not a word, but an allusion.

The mystery is: a flat boat is deep in the depths, and the gulls are not surprised.

Lin Muan and Gu Jiangwan frowned almost at the same time, there are rules to follow in anagrams, there are methods available.Looking for such allusions is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack in terms of thousands of years of Chinese culture.

On the other side of Group B, Lin Li'an and Ye Chuan also reached the last question. Their riddle is: blowing the face is not cold willow wind.Still guessing an allusion.All four of them were blocked in front of the final stage, and more and more people were watching.Even the boss sitting inside came out to wait for the result.

When Ye Chuan looked up, he happened to see the boss standing at the door, his brows moved imperceptibly, Lin Li'an lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Chuan shook his head, "It's okay. I just think this person looks familiar."

Lin Li'an looked at that person carefully for a while, and he was not good-looking, at most he was just handsome, and he didn't belong to the type that people could remember at a glance.He didn't have much impression, "He opened a shop here, he must be an old man in the capital, maybe you have seen it somewhere, don't think about him, let's take a good look at the topic. I am really curious now, this first What will be the prize after the seventh level?"

Ye Chuan nodded, "Come over and let me lean in, I'm a little tired from standing."

Lin Li'an took a slight step forward, almost pulling Ye Chuan into his arms, "The child is less than two months old and you feel so uncomfortable, and you refuse to let you rest, it really makes my heart ache to death."

The author has something to say: jj is really arrogant, and I couldn't post it just now for a long time.

Yun Shu is a scumbag of riddles, and he has never been able to guess a lantern riddle correctly in all these years.The anagrams in the text all come from Du Shou.

Alas, Baidu was originally called Baidu, and then everyone called it Du Niang, and later, everyone called it Du Shou. ~(>_<)~
