394 Liu Yan's coming-of-age ceremony 4
So, when the words "offended" just fell, Xu Shu slammed straight into the door.
Yaoqin and the guards present didn't react for a while, and the usually gentle Confucian would make such an astonishing move in a hurry.
Yaoqin, who bore the brunt of the attack, was completely stunned, she only felt a gust of wind hitting her, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, and when she came back to her senses, Xu Shu's people had already fluttered to the door of the inner study with big sleeves.
Liu Yan's study, like the study of many official families, has five entrances, and the outer study is a reception room for ordinary guests or ordinary guests.
Walk through the patio to the middle study, the middle study is a real study, Liu Yan is here to read, handle official business, here is usually no guests.
The middle study has a back door that leads to the small garden at the back. Across the small garden, there is the rest area, including the cloakroom and bedroom, where Liu Yan usually sleeps instead of the special princess bedroom in the princess's mansion.
Liu Yan is now abandoning himself in the bedroom that comes with the study, when Xu Shu is familiar with the way to break into the middle study, and after finding that there is no one, he will continue to walk inside, until he is now at the door of the cloakroom, he can not stop his footsteps. If you go any further, it's really rude.
The place where Yaoqin, the maid who was originally standing, is now empty. Xu Shu stood in front of the door, but he really didn't dare to go any further.
Liu Yan is not like other daughters, there are groups of maids around her, and there is only one maid around Liu Yan, Yaoqin. Every thing in her life is her own Dali. Yaoqin's role is closer to that of a modern secretary.
Now, Xu Shu has stood outside Liu Yan's most private space. He could see her if he went any further, but he hesitated.
Like Liu Yan, Xu Shu also hoped to go into Liu Yan's heart, to know the source of her inner fear, and to find the reason for her abnormality. But he never put this hope into action.
There is only one door, but it seems to be separated by two worlds. One tossed and turned in the door, and the other sighed outside the door.
Liu Yan thought that her future was in the end. What a prodigy, a little Taishou, what a princess and a royal sister, she is just a doll in the hands of Liu Bei, Cai Mao, Sun Quan, Cao Cao and other superiors.
Even if she could kill Liu Bei, she would use the pretending child to bury him with him, so that he would be nominally killed. She can also defeat Sun Quan, overwhelm Jiangdong everywhere, and make Zhou Yu so angry that she almost lost her life.
It seemed like she had no trouble with it, but it really happened. She will still be in her true form, like a weak little girl in despair.
If I don't like you, I should find a high-ranking family at this time, even if I don't like Cai's, there are also Kuai's, Pong's, and a series of other aristocratic teenagers who can be chosen as husbands.
But unfortunately, she already has someone she likes, and she already has a place for him in her heart. No one can occupy it but him.
Liu Yan was aggrieved, annoyed, and blamed herself. Lying in bed, she couldn't sleep, and the two thoughts fought in her head, and they became a mess.
The first thought was that the teacher didn't want to marry me, and I didn't want to harm others, so I had to fall into the net.
The second thought was that if I left, Jingzhou's power would fall apart. If it all goes into one person's pocket, at least the people will be spared some of the damage of war. If these shameless people in Jiangdong take the opportunity to encroach on it, maybe the Jingzhou territory will never be peaceful. In this way, I will be guilty of iniquity. The reunification that was finally established, and the stable Jingzhou is about to enter an era of war and separation.
However, if I ignore the impending crisis, and remain unconscious and unprepared, and the emperor decrees that I should go somewhere and marry someone I don't know at all?
Both the left and right are the same result, and they will harm the people. made Liu Yan fall into a new round of entanglement. This time it was more profound than the little love I thought about on the road before. But it was with such depth that she calmed down and realized that her idea of wanting to escape from Jingzhou just now was completely wrong.
She couldn't watch the people of Jingzhou become someone else's meal because of her discouragement, and fall into the quagmire of war again.
She can't be so selfish, thinking only about herself, ignoring thousands of people. So what's the difference between her and the Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others she hates?
Thinking of this, Liu Yan's thinking gradually became clearer, it's time to make a decision, I am not alone, there are many officials standing behind me, they are all sincerely invited by me, and I have made such and such promises to them. Behind them here are more people, to whom We have given them a secure life. If this stability is suddenly shattered and society becomes unstable again, what is the use of the short-lived peace that was maintained before?
Liu Yan got up from the couch and walked to the cloakroom outside, where there was the face wash prepared by Yaoqin. After washing her face and sobering up, Liu Yan changed into a dark curved robe, and the belt of the same color was embroidered with silver patterns. casually took out a jasper hairpin from the makeup and tied his hair high on the top of his head, wrapping it up.
I looked at it from head to toe, and felt that I was clean and neat enough, and the key is that I looked old-fashioned when I wore it like this. Of course, she herself didn't feel that she was a delicate and white lotus root.
After checking his body for a while, he felt that there was no omission, so he took a deep breath and reached out to put his hand on the deadbolt.
The moment he took off the bolt of the door, Xu Shu outside thought that he was hallucinating, how could he hear the sound of the door opening inside, and he thought that the people inside were really asleep! How long has it been, if you find someone outside, you should have come to open the door eight hundred years earlier.
However, when Liu Yan opened the door and bumped straight into Xu Shu's eyes, Xu Shufang realized that it was Liu Yan who came out of it.
"Yan'er" Xu Shu was the first to find her voice.
"Teacher, why are you waiting here?" asked Liu Yan.
"Nothing, I just wanted to confirm that it wasn't you. Xu Shu lowered his head and coughed lightly, he felt embarrassed when he said this.
This is the inner study of the princess's mansion, and the bedroom here can't come out of Her Royal Highness the princess herself, that's the number one big news. Where else does it need to be confirmed.
It's just that Liu Yan wouldn't say this to Xu Shu, even if Xu Shu hurt her heart, he would always be a mentor and a star in her mind.
And she knows why Xu Shu came, and she also knows how big a problem she has caused when she gives up on herself for a while. Xu Shu is not at ease, afraid that he will be impulsive and make a move that he will regret for life. You care about me so much and give me so many delusions, why can't you give me more practical things?
"Teacher, since you are here, I happen to have something very important, I want to tell you that this matter is related to the conclusion of the future of the entire Jingzhou, whether the four seas will rise to peace, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, or they will fall apart, and all of them will return to dust. ”
Xu Shu was stunned, before he could speak, why did she snatch her lines? What did he say? What can he say?
"The princess has a word, even if she is told. Xu Shu was afraid that Liu Yan would be stimulated again, so he gave her the greatest patience and respect.
"Let's go to the front study to talk in detail, it's more appropriate. Liu Yan said as she walked forward and took Xu Shu to the middle study.
There is not a single maid in the entire study, and it is not that she has never experienced it, Xu Shu has long been accustomed to this.
The two entered the study and sat down as guests.
As soon as Xu Shu sat down, Liu Yan's request came. "Teacher, what you just said outside is very reasonable, I got into the horns. Teacher, I have a request, please be sure to grant it to me. I can't think of any other way than that. ”
Xu Shu swore even more when he heard this: "Princess, please command, as long as your subordinates can do it, you will do your best to share your worries." ”
"Of course teachers can do it, and only teachers can do it. Liu Yan quickly gave him a positive answer.
"What is going on?" Xu Shu looked up and saw that the apprentice's eyes were a little red, and he knew that she had cried alone in it, and suddenly felt distressed.
"Marry me, we're engaged. Liu Yan said calmly. It was as if he was not discussing his life's work, but giving orders.
"What, what?" Xu Shu couldn't believe his ears, thinking he had heard a fantasy.
"You marry me, I will take you as a colt, and we are engaged. Liu Yan said with a glance, her tone had completely calmed down, and she didn't feel the slightest bit of color. No one knows that at this moment, her heart has been flooded.
"Yan'er, are you crazy? I am your teacher, we are master and apprentice, we ...... I'm almost forty years old, and I'm not much older than when Uncle Huang died. You, how can you ...... How can it be ......"
Xu Shu was so shocked that he threw his chopsticks and danced with his hands to express concern.
But Liu Yan was still unmoved, and said tepidly: "Teacher, this is the best way to solve the problem, there is no other way than this." ”
"How so? There must be a way, definitely!" Xu Shu was anxious and hurriedly promised.
"Teacher, listen to me. Liu Yan interrupted the teacher's speech for the first time and took away the right to speak.
"I know that it is difficult for you to marry me, and it also breaks the oath you have made yourself, which is not good. However, there is really no way to do it. We can get engaged first to ease the sense of crisis caused by this incident. Just get past this paragraph. ”
"That's not okay, engagement is also a very strict thing, and it has to be announced to the world, which is detrimental to your reputation. ”
"When has this been, what are you still thinking about reputation? Liu Yan was also a little anxious: "Then you want to watch me marry someone I don't know and leave Jingzhou, right?"
"Teacher, all you need is your nod, and I'll change my mind immediately. You should be acting on the spot, and don't take it too seriously. ”
"I can't do it!" Xu Shu stood up and shook his hand, almost about to run away.
"Teacher, if you don't help me, then there really is no one to help me. Liu Yan pleaded: "Only you are the most suitable for this position." ”
"No, no, no, no, you can't do it. Xu Shu subconsciously shook his hand.
"Why can't you make it? Liu Yan nodded vigorously. It seems that I want to agree to the other party's consent together.
"Yan'er, your road is still very long, much longer than the teacher's, don't go far from this kind of bull's horns. The teacher disagreed. Xu Shu refused again.
"Teacher, listen to me, this is the most appropriate way, you will not marry for life, I have no intention of marrying yet, we are all destined to have no life, only we can help each other through the difficulties. Liu Yan persuaded bitterly.
"Whatever you say, I don't agree. Xu Shu got carried away, didn't use honorifics, and Liu Yanwei didn't care.
"Teacher, this is the best way, without one, I will not marry any stranger, in fact, if they know what happened to me, no one will want to marry me. Liu Yan continued to be reasonable.
"Why is no one marrying you, who do you fall in love with? Discipline him obediently. "Xu Shu looks like I will always support you.
Liu Yan smiled: "Teacher, except for you, I don't want to cause trouble to anyone." Don't you understand me? I'm begging you to help me, even if it's just a show, to help me get through this. ”
As long as I am engaged, it will not be so easy for Cao Thief to use my brains again, and you will take it as a fulfillment of me, okay? Please! Promise me! I promise that after the engagement, our life will be exactly the same as before the engagement, there is no difference in the slightest, you live in your general's mansion, I live in my princess's mansion, and we will not interfere with each other. Even we are still master and apprentice......"
"Yan'er! This is not the crux of the problem!" Xu Shu was anxious: "Do you know what you are asking me for? Do you know that getting engaged and marrying a woman is a lifelong thing? In case you meet someone you like in the future......
"No, no, never! Me, I just like people who are related to teachers...... and my sister ......" As soon as Liu Yan spoke, her face turned red, but in the end, she was still a little lacking in confidence.
"Yeon'...... In any case, the teacher will not agree. Xu Shu was upset by her begging around, so she simply came to cut the mess with a quick knife, and in a word, extinguished Liu Yan's illusions.
Liu Yan's courage had already retreated at this time, and seeing the teacher rejecting her again and again, the feeling of no one to confide in her grievances came again: "Teacher, if you don't agree to help me, do you have a better way? There's really no time left!"
"Yan'er, don't be impulsive first, think about it in the long run, I'm your teacher, how can I marry you?, what's more, I'm so much older than you, even if we know it's pretending, but outsiders don't know ......" (To be continued.) )
