Let Me Pursue You - Chapter 78

Yuan Cixian fell into deep thought.

With Lu Shiqing’s friendship with Shao and Dan Rushui, it really doesn’t make sense for her to know such a private matter. In this way, could it be that in his previous life, his inhumane story spread all over the country?

Yuan Cixian seemed to see the sneering faces of men, women and children in Chang’an City. They pointed at Lu Shiqing one by one, and secretly chewed his tongue behind their backs. I don’t know who his widowed wife was in the previous life, but no matter what, this person is her in this life.

Thinking of this, she covered her mouth all of a sudden, and the expression on her face changed: pity, mourning, full of confusion and fear about the future.

Lu Shiqing’s face had already darkened.

Can’t be human… can’t be humane, what a ghost! He can, he can do it very well, the kind of ability that swallows the lake and the sea like a broken bamboo and shakes the mountain like a thunderbolt!

He pressed his right hand with his left hand behind his back, restraining the urge to go forward and knock on Yuan Cixian’s chestnuts, and said as calmly and without anger as possible: “That’s not enough, it’s just a small injury, it’s okay.”

How can it not get in the way, “Small forbearance will lead to chaos and big plans”! According to Shaohe’s meaning, Lu Shiqing was afraid that it was because he took his care lightly that the root cause of the disease fell, and eventually the Lu family’s incense was broken.

She said solemnly: “Don’t take it seriously! Tell me, how did you get hurt, and how is your injury now? I…” She looked at him sincerely, “Can I do something for you?”

“…” She can do a lot.

Lu Shiqing rolled her Adam’s apple, took a deep breath, held her shoulders, pulled her over and pushed her outward: “I’ll do it in five days, behave yourself these few days, and don’t come looking for me.”

Don’t come to him and expose him.

The wedding date was really rushed, and Lu Yuan’s family was very busy for five days. Most of the Lu family is preparing to collect gifts and decorate the mansion so that everything goes smoothly on the day of the personal welcome. As for the Yuan family, they mainly focus on three things – how to support Yuan Cixian, support the position and support the position.

The king and his wife of southern Dian were not in Chang’an, and they couldn’t make it in time to welcome them in person, and they couldn’t violate the emperor’s order, so they had to hand everything over to Yuan Yu.

When Yuan Yu heard that in five days, he would become a loner living alone, he slumped on the seat for a whole day before he recovered his spirits, and then began to play his life to add a dowry to Yuan Cixian. After one night, almost the entire Yuan Mansion was vacated, and Xiao Hei was almost taken along with him. In the end, Yuan Cixian stopped him, saying that he was afraid that he would be alone and no one would take care of him.

Yuan Yu sighed. Isn’t there still no one to take care of Xiao Hei?

When the day before the wedding came, Yuan Yu followed the wedding custom of “shop mother and child” in Dazhou, and invited Chen’s wife, who was well-known in the capital for her flattery, to go to Lu’s shop to show off the Yuan family’s dowry, so as not to ask her younger sister to marry her. Later, he was bullied by the Lu family.

Yuan Cixian couldn’t laugh or cry when she found out.

Ever since Lu Shiqing cared about her, not only her, but even his elder brother had no fear, and started acting up and down, not afraid of offending this big backer.

She didn’t think it was necessary to support the scene. After all, she has a high status and rank, and the Lu family has a simple family, and this aunt of the Xuan family treats her daughter-in-law as her daughter, so even if she bullies Lu Shiqing, she will not bully her.

For the past five days, Yuan Cixian has been busy being manipulated like a puppet by various people, backing relatives and welcoming the ceremony, remembering marriage customs and taboos, and wearing wedding dresses.

But this wedding dress really has no corners that don’t fit at all.

She felt a little depressed thinking of this. Lu Shiqing quietly sent someone to make this in the first month of the month, and he never asked her a single word, but he cut the size so properly, didn’t he fully grasp it?

There is no mystery about her beauty.

Yuan Cixian kept her feet on the ground like fighting for several days in a row, and fell asleep when she touched the pillow at night. She was completely different from ordinary young ladies who were waiting to be married. , being served by a roomful of maids to put on the wedding dress and put on makeup, it was the first time that she felt a real sense of being married.

Although marrying Lu Shiqing was what she wanted in her heart, but when she thought that her father and mother had not been able to send her to greet her in person, she became bewildered after all, and felt that this marriage was too hasty.

There were several maidservants in the room who were sent by Emperor Huining to take care of them. They were sweet and talkative. Seeing her staring at the bronze mirror in a daze, she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, praised her for her beautiful makeup, and whispered that her clothes were so exquisite that she would It was also compared with the princess’s wedding dress.

Shaohe’s wedding dress was cobbled together from old clothes by people in the palace. Although the regulations were higher than hers, it was indeed a bit rougher. They planned to make it up first and replace it with new ones when they arrived in Nanzhao.

But Yuan Cixian really worked **** this wedding dress. The turquoise gown with big sleeves made of tin hairpins is quite dense with every stitch and foot, and there is not even a single thread protruding from the inside, so it is quite comfortable to wear. The embroidery on the gown was complicated and exquisite, with many unique patterns in southern Yunnan, but it was much lighter than the other wedding gowns, so she wouldn’t be too tired to straighten her back.

When she put it on for the first time, she was really surprised by Lu Shiqing’s intentions. If there is any dissatisfaction, the only thing is the color of her skirt and shoes. According to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the husband has an official, the bride’s lower garment and shoes must be worn by her husband. Lu Shiqing’s clothes were scarlet, so Yuan Cixian had no choice but to wear red, green and green.

But these maidservants said that the county lord was born beautiful, even if she splashed ink on her body, she would be amazing.

Yuan Cixian didn’t believe their evil, but when they heard about Shaohe, she diverted her attention and asked her how she was doing recently. The maidservants said that it looked good, but they didn’t seem to be reluctant.

She sighed. Liangbo is the emperor’s family the most. It is really hard to be a lover of the emperor’s family. It would be a good thing if he could be ruthless and relentless.

Yuan Cixian sighed, and as soon as she started to feel sad, she saw Shicui and Caizhi rushing into the house, saying that the welcoming team was coming soon.

She didn’t have time to think about it anymore, so she hurriedly told the two of them to ask brother not to make things difficult for Lu Shiqing, just ask for some lottery money and makeup poems if they want to, and don’t learn the tricks of others playing bamboo sticks. Yuan Yu, who doesn’t think it’s a big deal to watch the excitement, called everyone in Chang’an City who has a little relationship with the Yuan family to support her today. She was really afraid that Lu Shiqing would be bullied so much that she would turn around and say Not married anymore.

About half an hour later, Yuan Cixian put on another layer of makeup, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the noisy voices outside getting closer, thinking that Lu Shiqing had come through somehow.

She heard a bridesmaid yelling for him outside, urging her not to hide, but to go out quickly, it seemed that several of them were third-rank officials in the court. Shi Cui and her whispered to each other, saying that Lu Shilang’s handwriting is really powerful, and such a big official can be hired.

Yuan Cixian thought, what’s the matter, he will be a Zhongshuling in the future, and these people are all helping him.

The maids heard that the voices of the bridesmaids outside were almost hoarse, so they covered Yuan Cixian and helped her out.

Yuan Cixian was eager to see if Lu Shiqing had been beaten badly, so she looked for him in the crowd as soon as she stepped out, and saw a figure through the hazy hijab, standing in the middle with her hands up and down, as if she was looking at her laugh.

Yuan Cixian herself felt strange, she could only see a shadow, but she just had an intuition that he must be smiling.

Lu Shiqing really couldn’t help but laugh. Who told her that she was not even shy and reserved, and would rush to look for him as soon as she went out.

The bridesmaids at the front were all eloquent, and their mouths could be used as the wheels of a cart. Seeing the bride finally came out after a thousand calls, they praised her wildly, and the relatives and friends of the woman here seemed to have greased their mouths too. He went back and forth, talking more and more, and finally compared the two of them to the couple of gods and gods in the sky.

After they boasted enough, the two were able to go to the hall one after the other to perform the saddle ceremony and laying geese ceremony. After a series of complicated and tiring ceremonies were over, Yuan Yu told Yuan Cixian a few words on behalf of his father, and then sent her off. After leaving the mansion, he went to the carriage covered with curtains outside.

Yuan Yu has been nagging for five days straight, but it still doesn’t seem to be enough. Seeing her getting into the car, she felt that she didn’t say anything, so she shouted at her back from a distance: “Don’t forget to come back often! Home, if Lu Zishu doesn’t give it, I’ll wait for brother to call me!”

For some reason, Yuan Cixian’s nose turned sour when she heard this, and she almost burst into tears. She couldn’t help but hold on to the railing of the carriage to look back at her elder brother, only to see that Lu Shiqing was sitting on the horse, and started to circle the carriage three times. Zhou Zhili, while getting close to her, asked in a low voice: “If he whips me again, will you stop him?”

Yuan Cixian knew that he wanted to divert her attention, and didn’t want her to cry, so she snorted coldly, and said through the hijab: “No, but I will ask brother to give you two symmetrical whips.”

Lu Shiqing smiled and said nothing, and went to the front after three rounds of detour, ready to set off.

Under the wind blowing, the gold, silver, pearls and jades hanging on the carts rattled, and the welcoming team meandered slowly towards Yongxingfang in the twilight.

The sound of drums and songs suppressed the clouds, Yuan Cixian sat in the car, and faintly saw the road ahead through the hijab.

She has walked this road many times, but this time, there will be no return journey.

From today onwards, she really handed over her blessings and disasters to that person completely.

He said that there is only one Lu Shiqing in the world, and he can only worry about one Yuan Cixian. She believes.

The welcoming team marched into Yongxingfang, and when they arrived at the gate of Lu’s mansion, Yuan Cixian got out of the car with the help of a maidservant, stepped on the mats that had been laid on the ground beforehand, and went all the way in to the temporary green cottage.

Qinglu, also known as Baizizhang, is also a Husu, and the two of them went to the bedroom after paying respects according to the etiquette system. Afterwards, Yuan Cixian took off the hijab and replaced it with a fan to cover her face.

This bedroom was where Lu Shiqing used to live, but it was refurbished in a few days and replaced with a new bed. Xiyan’s room was full of people at the moment, Yuan Cixian and Lu Shiqing were surrounded by a group of guests and sat down on the left and right side of the bed, while the person in charge at the side began to say congratulations, and then someone sprinkled flowers and fruits on the bed.

The tent spreader spread endlessly for the sake of celebration, and they didn’t stop until they almost drowned them. After it was over, someone proposed to ask Lu Shiqing to write a fan poem, praising the bride’s appearance, so that she would take off the fan and let everyone feast their eyes.

For Tanhualang, making a fan poem is of course not a problem. After all, his three make-up poems in Yuanfu just now won a lot of praise, but the problem is that he doesn’t want to feast everyone’s eyes.

Everyone looked at him expectantly, but he smiled faintly and opened his lips and said, “I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you all. Lu has exhausted his talents and can’t write poems anymore.”

Yuan Cixian choked, and quietly looked at him while holding the fan. He was afraid that she was too beautiful to be seen by others.

The crowd made a fuss, and despite repeated urging, they couldn’t open Lu Shiqing’s golden mouth, so they had to retreat, talking about his stinginess.

When the people were gone, Lu Shiqing reached out to take Yuan Cixian’s fan, but seeing that she was hiding and would not let him get it, he said, “No, I want to listen to fan poetry. If you don’t praise me, I won’t follow you.” Drink Hebei wine.”

Didn’t she just want to hear him praise her for being good-looking? Lu Shiqing said: “I don’t use poetry, I use other methods to praise you.”

“What method?”

“You take off the fan.”

Yuan Cixian took the letter from the fan, and before she had time to make preparations, she saw Lu Shiqing sticking her close, bowed her head and kissed her lips.

She should have thought of this kind of hooliganism!

Yuan Cixian got annoyed, stretched out her hand to pinch his waist, pushed him away, and said, “You’ve eaten all my fat, how beautiful I am!”

Just as Lu Shiqing was about to speak, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. The maid asked him if he and his bride were ready to change clothes, and reminded him to greet the guests as soon as possible.

The two had no choice but to stop arguing for the time being, quickly drank the wine, and then invited someone to come inside to change their clothes, and then according to the wedding custom of the Zhou Dynasty, each cut a lock of hair, tied it together and kept it as a token.

Lu Shiqing was so urged that he didn’t have time to stay longer, so he left in a hurry after finishing all this. Yuan Cixian’s anger was still there, and he angrily told him to send those people back quickly, and then continue to settle the score just now.

He smiled and sighed, as if he had complied, but before leaving the door, he stopped, and suddenly turned around and called her: “Yuan Cixian.”

Yuan Cixian sat on the edge of the bed and raised her head, looked at him strangely, then saw him blinking lightly, and told him: “Sit still and wait for me to come back.”

She thought to herself that she would be sure to wait for him to come back, but why is she still sitting still and unable to move? How tiring.

Yuan Cixian responded well, waved his hand to urge him to leave quickly, waited without moving for half an hour and did not see him come back, and finally suspected that the words he said before leaving were intentional to punish her, so she couldn’t help but stand up Exercise your muscles and pace back and forth in the room.

Lu Shiqing ordered all the servants to withdraw, so no one stopped her from walking around.

As soon as she walked, she walked to the outside room, she had nothing to do, and it was not easy to order someone to urge Lu Shiqing to make him lose face in front of the guests, so she flipped through the books on his desk and played with a few of his pens, unintentionally. When he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a strangely shaped hollow on the wall illuminated by the lamps and candles.

She frowned, and got up curiously to look at it. She felt that the shape looked familiar. She turned her head to look at the jade pen pillow on the desk table, which was used to hold the pen, and couldn’t help being taken aback.

This jade pen pillow seems to fit into the hollow in the wall.

Her keen intuition about the secret passage of the agency made her suddenly a little excited.

She discovered the secret room in Lu Shiqing’s bedroom, and she didn’t know what was hidden in it. Now that she is the hostess, it shouldn’t be a foul if she takes a look, right?

She ran to the door, peeked outside through the crack of the door, and seeing no one around, she quickly turned around and stuffed the jade pen pillow into the groove in the wall.

There was a soft “creak” sound, and the soles of her feet slowly opened a secret door. Looking down, there were several wet stone steps, and further inside, there seemed to be a deep and secret road.
