Chapter 763 Su Wuming 62
Lu Lingfeng cursed, "I say, you two, hugging each other in broad daylight, how can you be so disrespectful! Do you want me to build a stage for you and play some music to entertain you?"
Su Wuming let go of Chu Huan as if he had been electrocuted, his face flushed red like a ripe persimmon.
Chu Hua, on the other hand, was very generous and glared back at Lu Lingfeng without any hesitation. She straightened her hair and said, "What do you care? Wuming and I are in love with each other. We are in love. What do you know, you who have been single for a lifetime?"
"Who are you calling a dog?!" Lu Lingfeng didn't understand these words and pointed at Chu Hua with his eyes wide open. Although he was born into a family of military commanders, he had never heard such vulgar words.
Chu Hua raised her eyebrows, with an expression that said "you have no experience": "You are a perennial single dog! It means that you are so old, but you still haven't found a wife. You like someone but you won't admit it. You are all alone like a stray dog!"
Lu Lingfeng was completely confused. What the hell was going on? Although he didn't understand, the word "dog" made him feel offended instinctively.
"You scolded me?! Su Wuming, take care of your woman!" He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
Su Wuming took a step forward and blocked Chu Huan behind him: "Lu... Lu Lingfeng, please be careful with your words! Huan'er is a girl. How can you, a grown man, speak to her so rudely?"
Lu Lingfeng was stunned by Su Wuming's sudden act of protecting his own people. He pointed at Su Wuming and was speechless for a long time.
"Okay, okay, let's get going!" Su Wuming pushed Lu Lingfeng, trying to push him back to his carriage.
"You are so old, but you still act like a child. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Lu Lingfeng snorted, turned around and walked away, muttering under his breath: "Women are trouble!"
He cracked the whip, and the wheels of the carriage rolled over the road, making a creaking sound and raising a cloud of dust.
Su Wuming turned around and looked at Chu Huan, his eyes full of tenderness: "Huan'er, ignore him, he just has a childish temper."
Chu Hua pouted in grievance: "Su Wuming, look at him! He's so fierce!"
Su Wuming sighed helplessly and patted Chu Hua's head like he was coaxing a child. "Okay, okay, don't be angry. He is like that, a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
"Hmph!" Chu Huan turned her head away and didn't look at him, but secretly glanced at Su Wuming out of the corner of her eye, observing his reaction.
Su Wuming looked at her coquettish look, and his heart felt even softer.
Su Wuming helped Chu Hua get on the carriage, carefully tidied up her skirt, and then turned to the shaft and drove forward. Chu Hua lifted the curtain and looked at Su Wuming's slightly clumsy back, with a sweet smile unconsciously rising at the corner of her mouth. Although he was not good at speaking, every subtle movement revealed his care and love for her, which made her feel extremely relieved and happy.
The carriage was moving slowly, and the wheels rolled over the road, making a slight "creaking" sound. Chu Hua lowered the curtain and leaned on the soft cushion, thinking about everything that had just happened, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot. She secretly glanced at Su Wuming beside her and found that he was staring at the front with a focused and serious expression.
"Su Wuming..." Chu Huan called softly.
When Su Wuming heard her voice, he immediately turned to look at her, his eyes full of tenderness: "What's wrong, Huan'er?"
"Nothing..." Chu Hua shook her head, and couldn't help asking, "You... are you telling the truth?"
Su Wuming was slightly stunned, then he understood what she meant, and a faint blush appeared on his face: "Of course it's true, I...I will never lie to you."
Chu Hua looked at his slightly shy appearance, and her heart was sweeter. She reached out her hand, gently held Su Wuming's hand, and said softly: "I believe you."
Su Wuming's palm was large and warm, tightly wrapped around her hand, as if to pass all his tenderness to her. He held her hand in his, feeling the warmth of her palm, and an indescribable sense of happiness surged in his heart.
The two held hands quietly, neither of them spoke, but the affection between them flowed silently. The carriage moved forward, carrying them to the unknown distance and to their beautiful future.
A few days later, they arrived at Nanzhou City. Su Wuming jumped off the carriage first, turned around to help Chu Huan down, and then called Lu Lingfeng to go to the governor's mansion to pay a visit.
However, before they reached the gate of the mansion, they saw an official in a red robe waiting there early. It was the Governor of Nanzhou.
"Judging from his uniform, that person should be the governor."
Su Wuming stepped forward and saluted: "The new Nanzhou Sima Su Wuming greets the governor."
When the governor saw Su Wuming, he immediately smiled and walked up to him quickly, shaking Su Wuming's hand enthusiastically: "Sima Su! Oh, your eyes are bright and your demeanor is elegant. You must be Di Gong's disciple. You must be my brother!" The governor's enthusiasm was a little too much, which made Su Wuming a little uncomfortable.
"Shi Luo, what did I tell you? Didn't I ask you to wait at the city gate and never leave? Now Sima Su has arrived at the gate of the governor's mansion, and you don't know? Why don't you go and pay your respects to Sima Su!" Governor Xiong stroked his beard and said in a displeased tone.
"You are the Chief Secretary, and I am the Sima. Su Wuming pays homage to the Chief Secretary!" Su Wuming bowed without being humble or arrogant.
"Oh, I've heard a lot about you!" Luo Changshi replied with a wry smile.
"I am Xiong Qiannian, the Governor of Nanzhou, and I am here to pay my respects to Sima Su!" Governor Xiong said as he was about to perform a great salute.
"No way. Now that I'm in Nanzhou, I'm your subordinate. How can I accept such a great gift from you? Su Wuming pays homage to the Governor!" Su Wuming quickly dodged to the side.
"Although I am the governor, you are from Chang'an. You are not only a disciple of Di Gong, but also... the princess's man! I should respect you!" Governor Xiong said meaningfully.
Lu Lingfeng, who was leading the horse, snorted coldly and curled his lips in disdain.
"Excuse me, who is this person?" Governor Xiong was not angry at his rudeness.
"I am Su Sima's follower, and I'm honored to meet you, the governor." Lu Lingfeng said in a cold tone, as if he didn't want to talk to him.
He really couldn't stand Su Wuming's fawning behavior. He was obviously quite capable in solving cases, so why did he become so smooth in the officialdom?
"Follower? I'm afraid you're just saying this for the sake of others. He's so handsome and dignified, he's definitely not an ordinary person. If I'm not mistaken, he's Fanyang Lu Lingfeng, right?"
……
After some flattery, they finally got acquainted. Governor Xiong invited Su Wuming and others to go to Wangbin Tower, the most famous building in Nanzhou.
"In that case, I will respectfully obey your order." Su Wuming smiled and calmly accepted the invitation of Governor Xiong. He knew that Governor Xiong was so attentive not only because he was Di Renjie's disciple, but also because of his identity as "the princess's man".
Wangbin Tower, as its name suggests, has an excellent location and overlooks the entire Nanzhou City. Governor Xiong specially arranged a private room for the guests, and the dishes are also the most distinctive delicacies of Nanzhou.
"There is still one person missing from today's banquet..." Governor Xiong said mysteriously.
"Su Wuming, Lu Lingfeng, little girl Chuhuan, how are you?" A slightly hoarse voice sounded, with a hint of cynical ridicule.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin old man with a goatee, wearing a slightly worn grey robe, walking towards them leisurely. Who else could it be but Master Fei Ji?
Exquisite dishes were served on the table like water, and the aroma of delicious delicacies instantly filled the entire room. Governor Xiong rubbed his hands and introduced the origin and allusions of each dish with a smile on his face.
While dealing with the endless explanation of Governor Xiong, Su Wuming picked up a piece of jade-like fish meat with a serving chopstick and placed it on the plate in front of Chu Huan. He said softly, "Huan'er, try this carp from Nanzhou. It has a unique flavor."
Chu Hua didn't even look at the piece of fish meat, but turned to Pei Xijun and said, "Xijun, try this, it's so sweet!"
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of crystal clear cake and put it on Pei Xijun's plate.
Su Wuming felt a little jealous when he saw Chu Hua being so attentive to Pei Xijun. He wanted to take this opportunity to express his concern, but he didn't expect Chu Hua to ignore him. He smiled awkwardly, picked up another piece of fish and put it in his bowl, and ate it silently.
Chu Hua noticed Su Wuming's resentful look, and she sighed inwardly. Why is Su Wuming so clingy? Wasn't it just because he didn't pick up food for him the first time? Didn't he eat the food he picked up for him? Why did he act like he had fallen out of favor?
She picked up the piece of jade-like fish meat reluctantly and put it into her mouth to taste it carefully. Hmm, it tasted really good, melted in the mouth and was extremely delicious.
"How is it? Delicious, right?" Su Wuming became energetic immediately after seeing Chu Hua eating the fish, his eyes sparkling, as if he had received some great reward.
Chu Hua nodded perfunctorily, "Yeah, not bad."
But she was complaining in her heart: Although the fish is very fresh, she used to have a strong taste for strong flavors. There were few condiments in ancient times, so it would be better if some chili could be added.
Su Wuming didn't get Chu Hua's perfunctory attitude at all, and diligently picked up a piece of fish and put it in her bowl.
"If Huan'er likes it, eat more. If it's not enough, there's more."
Chu Hua looked at the pile of fish meat in the bowl, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She just wanted to end this embarrassing dinner as soon as possible.
Master Fei Ji, who was standing by, saw all of this, smiled meaningfully, stroked his goatee, and said slowly, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Su Wuming, how come your attentiveness looks like you're feeding a cat? Miss Chu Hua is not a docile little cat like you, be careful if you feed her too late, or she'll scratch your face with her claws, and that won't be pretty."
Su Wuming blushed slightly when he heard this, and glared at Master Fei: "Old Fei, you should eat more vegetables without talking or sleeping.
When Governor Xiong saw Su Wuming's frustrated look and then saw Chu Huan eating the fish, he immediately smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
