Drunk Bamboo

Chapter 289 Combined wine

The bandit suppression was successful.

Hua Qinfeng took Qiufeng and the children away, leaving Changhe to clean up the village carefully.

County Magistrate Sun was grateful and listened carefully to Hua Qinfeng's instructions, nodding repeatedly.

But before he could even say a word of thanks, Hua Qinfeng spurred his horse and left a distant figure behind.

"Your Majesty does not care about fame, does not accept favors, and his merits are immeasurable!"

County Magistrate Sun thought for a moment, "The prince is indifferent to fame and fortune, but the people of Canglan County must not forget their gratitude. Master, do you think we should erect a monument to the prince's great achievements, or build a statue of the god of war?"

The master thought for a moment and said, "How about we do it together?"

Magistrate Sun agreed: "Alright."

Hua Qinfeng hurried back to the bamboo garden, and it was getting dark.

Zhuyuan is very close to Xie’s house, just across the street.

Hua Qinfeng had bought it a long time ago for Xie Yuzhu, and even named it after her.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a row of bamboos planted on both sides, and there is always a corner of bamboo in every yard.

Baiyun Academy and Xie Mansion caught fire, burning down the largest Xiwen Hall in the academy and three or four student rooms. There were sparks in the large and small courtyards of Xie Mansion, and scattered furnishings were damaged. Fortunately, the two library rooms were not damaged, otherwise, the Xie family and students would have cried bitterly.

The renovation takes time, so under Hua Qinfeng's arrangement, they all moved to Zhuyuan temporarily.

Hua Qinfeng took off his light armor and weapons before walking into the courtyard where he and Xie Yuzhu lived.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Xie Yuzhu sitting in the yard, Yun Ling accompanying her and talking.

When Yun Ling saw him coming back, she stood up and gave up her seat, then turned and went into the house to prepare new teacups.

"Awake? Are you feeling better?" He didn't sit down as he didn't want to dirty Xie Yuzhu with his dusty body.

"Much better. Yunling said that I was in a coma for two days and you took care of me. How come I have grown a beard after not seeing you for a few days?"

Xie Yuzhu's voice was a little hoarse, and she looked up at the man with a stubble on his face and bloodshot eyes.

Seeing that his lips were dry, she picked up the cup of water she had used and handed it to him.

He took it and drank it all.

"Wait a minute, I'll go shave it."

"I don't dislike you, why are you running so fast?"

"I just came back from outside and I'm covered in dust. I'll change into clean clothes and come back to accompany you."

As he said that, Hua Qinfeng quickly ran into the ear room.

Xie Yuzhu smiled and looked at his back.

She woke up at noon and ate something.

She was not fully awake at that time and did not notice the vicissitudes on his face.

Now, she has completely woken up and saw Hua Qinfeng’s tired face from taking care of her, she felt touched and distressed.

Soon, Hua Qinfeng changed into pure white clothes and sat beside her.

Yunling prepared new teacups and tea, brought a plate of fruits, and left without disturbing them.

"Are you tired?" Xie Yuzhu reached out and touched his cheek.

"I'm not tired of taking care of you every day." He grinned.

"It takes a day to go from here to Nanwa Mountain and back, and you have to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits. You only spent half a day, how can you not be tired?"

He smiled even more widely, picked up a piece of melon and stuffed it into his mouth, "I want to tell you later, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Xie Yuzhu moved the snack in front of her towards him.

"Are you so angry because of me?"

He picked up a piece of dessert and brought it close to her mouth. She shook her head and pushed it into his mouth with her backhand.

Hua Qinfeng chewed the snacks in big mouthfuls, "They are causing harm to the people, they should have been destroyed long ago."

"Canglan County has been unable to capture Nanwa Mountain for several years, but the prince took action and wiped them all out in less than half a day. The prince is really amazing." Xie Yuzhu praised sincerely, but also a little worried, "However, such a big good deed, I wonder if it will be uploaded to Zhongdu? How many people from Changfeng Tower did the prince mobilize?"

"Don't worry, tell the public that they are all chivalrous people. I have already reminded Magistrate Sun of Canglan County not to make trouble. Many people in the martial arts world don't like to have anything to do with the government. After all, many chivalrous people like to rob the rich and give to the poor, and more or less they have cases on their backs. Magistrate Sun is a wise man, and he only said that they were chivalrous people from several nearby counties who volunteered to help suppress the bandits, and the credit will fall on the magistrate himself in the end. Best of both worlds."

"There's no need to mention County Magistrate Xu of Nanmi County. He won't say anything. He also helped and has made contributions. It will definitely be beneficial for these two counties to help each other in the future."

Xie Yuzhu lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "Now the prince is doing things more steadily and carefully, I don't have to worry about it."

"You just have to trust me."

She saw that the water in the cup was gone, so she refilled it for him.

He asked, "It will take time to renovate the Xie Mansion. It's not a good idea to keep living in Changhe's house, right?"

Hua Qinfeng was full of confusion, "Who said it belongs to Changhe? It's ours now, you can stay as long as you want."

Xie Yuzhu shook her head, "Prince, you can't exploit your employees like this?"

Hua Qinfeng only had a vague idea. According to his own understanding, "This is the garden I asked Chang He to buy for us. We bought it half a year ago, and he has been taking care of it ever since."

"I know the Xie family doesn't like luxury. This house is about the same size as the Xie Mansion, and no one will say anything if you live here. And it's just across the street, so it's convenient to walk back and forth. At that time, I was thinking of returning to the West. Didn't you say you wanted to live in Nanmi? And I thought that for someone who loves freedom like you, maybe you would be more comfortable living in a private house. And the place is big, you can grow whatever you like."

Xie Yuzhu was stunned. "You, have you thought of all this for me so early?"

Half a year ago, they had no feelings for each other at all. At most, they didn't dislike each other, and he had already thought about her future.

After eating and drinking, Hua Qinfeng wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Even if we can't love each other sincerely, you are still my princess, and I will treat you well for the rest of my life. Now, you and I are in love, so there is no need to say anything more."

Xie Yuzhu's heart was surging, and her eyes were rolling, "You are so good to me."

Hua Qinfeng looked at her innocent appearance and couldn't help but hook her small nose, "Little fool, it's not enough, you have to be greedy."

When it was almost time to go to sleep at night, Hua Qinfeng came into the room with a plate, smiling.

The plate was covered with a red cloth.

"This is……"

He lifted the red cloth, his ears turned red, "Wedding wine. Your body is not well yet, it is fruit wine, a sip will not hurt your body."

"Isn't the wedding wine drunk on the wedding night?"

"Yes, I didn't get to drink that night, and I just want to make up for it. I was too careless at that time, and now I think about it, I regret it very much. Otherwise, I will hold a wedding banquet for you in the future? A happy wedding banquet."

Xie Yuzhu was surprised.

Because Hua Qinfeng remembers everything in his heart.

There is no woman who would not be moved.

She said: "The form is not important. But the prince's thoughts are important. This is more important than anything else."

She picked up the wine glass, and they drank the wedding wine together.

Hua Qinfeng was satisfied and helped her to the bed. "Go to sleep. The doctor said you need to rest more."

She lay on the jade mat bed and called softly, "Hua Qinfeng."

"Ah."

"We must be good and always get along well with each other."

"Um……"

She turned her face to the side and saw Hua Qinfeng had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed.

Xie Yuzhu gave her a kiss, "You get tired sometimes too."
