Chapter 215 Actor
Chapter 215 Actor
"It is said that he is from Baiyun County, Liuzhou. Most people there make a living by farming in the mountains and forests, and their lives are very poor."
Song Yanyi's eyes became even more profound: "A county magistrate is actually going to marry a peasant girl from a humble family?"
Qing'an was also stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that something was unusual.
"Bring the new population roster of Liuzhou registered in the last three months and check if there is a person named Bai Wei."
Song Yanyi ordered coldly.
"Yes!"
Qing'an took action immediately and found Su Yan to check carefully together. He actually found the name "Bai Wei" in the roster!
The list was placed in front of Song Yanyi. He stared at the two words with sharp eyes, as if they could penetrate the back of the paper and see the truth!
"You have been investigating for so long, and you have come to this conclusion?"
There was a hint of chill in Song Yanyi's voice.
Su Yan hurriedly explained, his tone full of confusion: "But, but this portrait and the description in your hand don't look like the same person at all."
The portrait in the roster shows a woman with a mottled face, thick eyebrows, and broad lips, which is completely different from the gentle lady in Song Yanyi's portrait.
However, Song Yanyi's eyes became more profound, and he saw through the deliberate disguise at a glance - how could a face the size of a palm have such exaggerated facial features, unless there was an unknown secret hidden behind it!
Song Yanyi took a deep breath, his voice as cold as the winter wind: "When is the wedding date?"
Qing'an answered cautiously, "Half a month later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yanyi stood up suddenly: "Prepare the horses."
"Yes!"
Qing'an followed closely behind, moving quickly.
Su Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing in his heart, this man is simply a madman, a complete madman.
On the other side of Qingzhou City, the days passed like a quietly flowing river, smooth and continuous.
"Miss, your wedding dress has been delivered. Would you like to try it on?"
Su Yue's face was full of joy as she asked Cui Rong who was busy in front of the medicine cabinet.
Cui Rong weighed the herbs skillfully, her eyes focused: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. The embroiderer made it according to my size, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"You are so busy and busy with your wedding."
Su Yue muttered to herself as she helped pack the herbs.
"It is precisely because I am getting married that I want to finish the things on hand as soon as possible. In the next few days, I have to go to a village to see a doctor. The wife of Mr. Wang is still waiting for my prescription."
Su Yue smiled and said, "Miss, you are really popular wherever you go. It was the same when you were in the Song family..."
When the words came to her lips, Su Yue suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly stopped talking.
Cui Rong's movements paused slightly, and a barely perceptible sadness flashed across her eyes.
"I made a mistake and shouldn't have said such nonsense."
Cui Rongrong forced a smile and said, "Forget it, don't mention it anymore. It's all in the past. There's nothing to say."
"Ok."
Su Yue responded softly, and there was an indescribable subtle atmosphere in the air.
The waiter quickly noted down the order and shouted loudly to the kitchen. The sound did not seem out of place in the bustling lobby, but instead added a bit of festive atmosphere.
While waiting, Wanru looked around curiously and saw that Zuixianlou was bustling with people. Some were chatting and laughing, while others were concentrating on tasting the food in front of them, and their faces were all filled with festive joy.
In the night sky outside the window, the occasional fireworks are like stars, contrasting with the lights in the building, forming a warm and vivid picture.
Soon, the fragrant dishes were placed on the table one after another, attractive in color and steaming hot.
Lin Han considerately filled a glass of fine wine for Wanru and said with a smile, "This is the famous local peach blossom wine, sweet but not greasy, give it a try."
Wanru took a sip, the sweet wine slid down her throat, leaving a faint fruity aroma and warmth, and she couldn't help but nodded approvingly.
The two of them ate and chatted, talking about interesting things in their childhood, and occasionally about their aspirations and plans for the future. The feelings between them grew quietly and inadvertently, warmly and naturally.
After a full meal, they walked hand in hand into the crowd and joined the lantern riddle guessing team.
Lin Han was extremely intelligent and solved several riddles in succession, drawing admiration from those around him.
Wanru stood aside, looking at him tenderly, feeling an unprecedented sense of security and belonging in her heart.
When Lin Han took off the last lantern and handed it to her, the delicate patterns on the lantern swayed in the light and shadow. Wanru took it and was moved: "This lantern festival has become more memorable because of you."
As the night deepened, the streets and alleys of Shiya County were still immersed in the afterglow of the lantern festival. The two strolled slowly, occasionally smiling at each other. Without words, they could feel the tenderness and determination in each other's hearts.
All of this was captured by the cold gaze in the distance. The man was riding on the horse, his figure lonely and stubborn, the surging emotions in his heart were like a violent storm, almost drowning him.
His fists clenched tighter and tighter, and finally he whipped the horse's buttocks and galloped away, leaving behind only a series of hurried horse hooves sounds, echoing in the silent night sky, as if it was the final accusation and farewell to this irreparable relationship.
However, on this night full of love, the story of Lin Han and Wan Ru is like a lantern gently held in their hands, bright and warm, illuminating each other's world. It has nothing to do with the entanglements of the past, but only about the dependence on each other at the moment and every ordinary and precious day spent together in the future.
Wanru gently held up her cheek with her hands, gazing at the actors' every move and smile on the stage with dreamy eyes. The colorful costumes looked even more gorgeous under the light. The actors' superb performances were like a flowing scroll, slowly unfolding before her eyes, allowing her soul to rest in this rare tranquility and leisure.
"This troupe's singing skills are really amazing. Their tunes can not only touch people's hearts, but also make people forget their troubles. How about inviting them to our big wedding day in the future?"
Lin Han's eyes sparkled with excitement, and his words were full of longing for a better life in the future.
Wanru nodded gently, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she whispered: "Just make the decision, your decisions are always so thoughtful."
Her voice was as delicate as silk, full of trust and dependence on Lin Han.
"Our wedding will be a grand feast, and the eyes of the whole county will be focused on us. The seven county magistrates will come to give us their blessings, and even Mr. Zhang, who is extremely wealthy and famous in Shiya County, has sent us a generous gift in advance."
Lin Han's face was filled with pride and satisfaction. After years of hard study, his current achievement made him feel deeply gratified.
Although he was only a small county magistrate, he was well aware that this position carried the heavy responsibility of benefiting the people.
Wanru frowned slightly when she heard this, and her tone contained a trace of worry: "You are new to the officialdom, so merchants like Mr. Zhang will naturally express their gratitude, but you should still consider carefully if you want too expensive gifts. After all, the waters in the officialdom are unfathomable. It is better to be cautious in what you say and do when you first arrive."
