I underestimated this young man. He stands straight without eating or drinking, still maintaining the posture my cousin used to acupoint him.
I coax him gently, "If you pass the Imperial Examination and become an official, and I happen to have money, we can rely on each other for a prosperous future. When you grow old and want to retire, you can stay home and play with the children, while I manage the business to ensure a steady income. You can imagine how beautiful our future will be!"
His eyelid twitched, and a strong sense of killing intent rushed toward me.
After a long nagging, he remained silent. I gathered up the courage to stand up and poke his face, "Why don't you like me?"
He finally spoke: "So why do you like me?"
I smiled and looked at him: "My champion in the Imperial Examination divination stick was picked by you, and I spotted you in the crowd of people. It proves that we are destined to be together. To put it plainly, I fell in love with you at first sight."
"You still don't know my name!"
"What's your name?"
" Zhuo Yan, I am here to find someone."
I ignored his second half directly, a pair of starry eyes twinkling: "Xiao Wu or Shang'er, which endearing name do you prefer, husband? Or Gongzi is my peach blossom, you can call me Gongzi Xiao Tau."
Zhuo Yan: "...
After two or three days, Zhuo Yan calculated like divining and suddenly stopped rushing to find the person. I asked why, and he confidently said, "In the battle with neighboring country, our country will surely win. After the victory, I will have time to find her."
When my cousin was about to leave, he patted my shoulder and advised me, "Huanhuan, your fate is definitely in conflict with the champion in the Imperial Examination. Those you have set your sights on won't become champion in the Imperial Examination until after you find out they are already married. Even if someone is willing to marry you, they won't be able to achieve champion in the Imperial Examination."
I instantly stopped laughing and exclaimed, "Impossible! When I was young, someone told my fortune and said I would definitely marry the champion in the Imperial Examination!"
Cousin sighed and left. When I walked to the corridor again, Zhuo Yan was reading a book. The books he reads are mostly about praising the great achievements of the empress in folk songs.
I walked up to him with a teacup and smiled, " Xiao Tau have some tea."
He took the teacup and used the lid to push aside the floating tea leaves. I watched his elegant fingers and drifted off again. It wasn't until his hand landed on my hair bun that I snapped back to reality.
He smiled and said, "What did I just ask?"
I smiled and shook my head. His hand had not been withdrawn yet. I gathered my courage and grabbed his sleeve, saying, " Xiao Tau, let me take you out to play. There are many fun places in Lin'an."
Hmm, if Xiao Tau doesn't like Lin'an, I can also take Xiao Tau to the capital, maybe we can see the empress."
When I mentioned the empress, there was a clear glint in his eyes, and he smiled slightly, "Okay."
" Xiao Tau, is the person you're looking for empress?"
He squinted and smiled, "Indeed, empress."
Looking at his exuberant appearance, sigh, it's a typical Chatbook melodrama.
The one who loves me is nowhere to be found, the one I love has given his heart to someone else.
I felt a chill in my heart, so I quickly said "I'll go prepare" and turned to run into my own yard.
I told father that I was going to Kyoto to further my relationship with Zhuo Yan, and father readily agreed.
On the second day, I set off for the capital with Zhuo Yan.
Just before leaving, a urgent letter from my cousin arrived at the Hua residence, mainly saying that the recent human traffickers' involvement was too widespread, and the county officials had arrested many people by following the clues. However, those people had all escaped while being escorted. He asked me to be extra careful and not to leave the residence without good reason.
Cousin always worries unnecessarily, but I received the documents and set off on time, and the journey was quite smooth.
When I arrived in Kyoto, it was raining lightly. I stayed at an inn with [ Zhuo Yan ], and that night [ Zhuo Yan ] read under the lamp. I chatted about the recent arrival of talented scholars from various places for the imperial examination, and [ Zhuo Yan ] didn't even make a sound.
I looked at him and smiled gently, "No matter how good he is, I don't want him, because I'm going to marry Xiao Tau in this lifetime."
He was slightly surprised, and I smirked, " Xiao Tau, you can't escape in this lifetime. Wherever you go, I will follow you."
He chuckled and said, "You have the mind of a child, just like Momo..."
I watched him lick his lips, carefully considering how to dig out this empress from his heart. Suddenly, he patted my head, and I snapped back to reality, looking at him and asking after a long pause, "What's Xiao Tau's last name? I've never heard of a last name for Xiao Tau before."
He raised his head in confusion, then his gaze fell slightly on the white peach blossom on the table.
The lights were dim, and a warm breeze passed through the hall. He picked up the fallen petals from his sleeve, raised his head, pursed his lips, smiled lightly, and said softly, "If I really have to have a surname, then it shall be Bai."
