Chapter 33: Fate
Li Mingjie was really completely defeated, and he struggled several times before he got up from the ground tremblingly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Ruolan and Li Ruxiang just wanted to step forward to help him, but he raised his hand and said, "Slow!"
I saw him shake his sleeves, and then shake his sleeves. "Bang!", the unlucky bamboo leaf was shaken out, and the devastated bamboo was finally freed, and immediately burrowed into the yellow grass, and soon disappeared.
Li Mingjie dusted off his sleeves, raised his hand to comb his messy bun, and of course took off the two rotten vegetable leaves by the way, regaining the appearance of a beautiful son. He stepped forward and said to the young man who was holding the horse's head: "Under Li Mingjie, thank you Brother Ren for helping just now!"
The young man looked back at the voice, he had healthy skin of wheat color, and his angular outline. The thick sword eyebrows that fly obliquely, and the thin lips that are pursed lightly. A pair of amber eyes flashed with a golden light from time to time, which made him inexplicably have a cool aura.
Seeing the appearance of the young man clearly, Li Mingjie and Hua Lianyue took a step back at the same time. Isn't this the drunkard who got drunk in Wufu Building yesterday and was covered with his pants!
At this moment, he shaved off his stubble, and his whole person looked extremely refreshing, and he couldn't see the decadent appearance of yesterday at all. I saw him stroke the horse's head and said lightly: "No, I just don't want it to crash into the wall and die!"
The implication is that in fact, I didn't care about your life or death, and I saved you by the way to save the horse, so I don't need to thank you. At this moment, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing! Hua Lianyue found that Li Mingjie's handsome face was red, white, and blue, and she felt panicked for him.
The young man patted the horse's head casually, and whispered: "I will save you this time, you may not be so lucky next time, don't be so reckless in the future!"
The green horse seemed to understand him, and rubbed his head on his cheek affectionately. Only then did the young man lead the horse over and hand it over to Li Mingjie. Then without saying a word, he strode away.
His stride was so great that he disappeared from everyone's eyes in a few moments. Li Ruxiang snorted lightly and said extremely dissatisfied: "This person is too rude, he didn't take us in his eyes from beginning to end!"
Hua Lianyue retracted her eyes and said coolly: "It's better to be rude than not to save you when you die!"
"You ......" Li Ruxiang looked at the little pair of gloomy eyes on the side, but after all, she still weakened her momentum. She stamped her feet and got into the carriage in a huff.
Hua Lianyue glanced at Li Mingjie and saw him leading the green horse, but there was a trace of hesitation and fear on his face. couldn't help but smile and said, "Why don't you take the carriage, let me ride this horse!"
"Okay!" Li Mingjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still before putting down the car curtain, he said arrogantly: "You asked for it yourself, don't say that I bullied you into a girl's family!"
Hua Lianyue tugged at the corners of her mouth and expressed her contempt for him with her eyes!
Only Li Ruolan looked at the young man's distant back with complicated eyes, and she didn't squeak for a long time. It wasn't until Chu Yun tugged at her sleeves that she came back to her senses, hung her head and followed Li Mingjie into the carriage.
The horse's hooves make a crisp and pleasant sound when they step on the road. Hua Liyue, who hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, felt relaxed and happy, but it was a pity that the people on the street were not very smooth, otherwise, she would have ridden her horse and galloped up.
The brothers and sisters of the Li family happily went out to the banquet, and before noon, they came back in disgrace, and immediately the mother of the housekeeper who had many things rushed to tell Mrs. Li.
Li Mansion, Wanshou Zhai
There is a small gold enamel nine-peach furnace on the long head of the pear blossom wood, which is spitting out a thin white smoke like mist. Mrs. Li was wearing a moon-blue round-necked Shu brocade placket and leaning on the long collapse by the window, and a little maid with a double-ring bun was gently beating her legs.
Her indifferent gaze swept over Li Ruxiang and Li Youhui, who were sitting at the bottom. Li Youhui had already changed into a clean dress, probably knowing that she was in trouble. She hung her head timidly, her red lips were bitten and turned a little white, and she looked really pitiful.
Li Ruxiang is still chattering, she has always been well-behaved in front of Mrs. Li, and she will never mention Li Ruolan in her words, Li Mingjie is not half a sentence, and only points all the contradictions to Hua Lianyue.
“...... Mother, the young master Yan Yushu is the eldest son of Lord Yan, and that flower catcher dares to offend him to death, which shows that he is a vulgar and unscrupulous person. If she is still left by her sister's side, I am afraid that Old Madam Yan will blame our Li Mansion and my sister!"
Obviously, Sister Hua is going to teach that Yan Yushu a lesson in order to save me. Li Youhui raised her eyes and moved the corners of her mouth. was secretly glared at by Li Ruxiang, and didn't say anything after all.
Mrs. Li's delicate nails, gently playing with a string of emerald jade Buddha beads in her hand, and the gentle sound of "let's click", accompanied by Li Ruoxiang's slightly harsh voice, made this calm Wanshou Zhai no longer calm.
Nothing to say all night!
The next day, Hua Lianyue was invited into Wanshou Zhai by the little maid, and after only half a cup of tea, she walked out with an ugly face. Back in Li Ruolan's yard, she immediately instructed Dashuang, and Xiaoshuang began to pack up her baggage.
Li Ruolan rushed over when she heard the news, she took Hua Lianyue's hand in confusion, and asked repeatedly, "Yue'er, what are you doing?"
The corners of Hua Lianyue's mouth hooked, and she sneered: "Of course it's to pack up and get out!"
Li Ruolan was stunned, her delicate cheeks were a little red, and she said excitedly: "I'll find my mother to ......."
She turned around and wanted to leave, but Hua Lianyue grabbed her and said, "No need, Madame is determined, she also settled the payment for me for the past few days!" Hua Lianyue tore off an autumn-colored purse from her waist and threw it on the table with a "bell".
Li Ruolan hesitated for a moment and said, "But for yesterday's incident, I'll explain to my mother that it's not your fault......
Hua Lianyue's eyes flickered, and she remembered what Mrs. Li said in Wanshou Zhai before: "I know that you are a good boy and do your best to help our Li family." But you shouldn't offend the Hu Mansion, let alone the Yan family. ”
Hua Lianyue said unconvinced: "Madam, are you willing to watch your own daughter suffer a great shame?"
"What do you mean by this? Didn't you mean Youhui, why did you have something to do with Lan'er again?" Mrs. Li only listened to Li Ruxiang's one-sided words, of course she didn't know about Fang Ya.
Hua Lianyue told everything she saw and thought in Hu Mansion yesterday, of course, she said that these were not to invite merit, but to prove how unreliable Yan Mansion was.
Before the new lady got started, the family had already prepared a concubine. This noble concubine is also different from the concubine next to her, she has the entire Hu Mansion behind her, and she is afraid that her momentum is even stronger than that of the new lady. Coupled with the unconscious Yan Yushu, the old lady Yan who protects the cubs, Li Ruolan married in with a black eye, and she didn't know how much she would suffer.
There was silence in the room, and Mrs. Li's face became more solemn than ever, and she could only hear the sound of her hurriedly plucking the Buddha beads. After half a ring, Mrs. Li smiled bitterly and said, "That's Lan'er's fate, we can only accept our fate!"
What is fate? I haven't married yet, I know it's not a good match, and it's too late to regret my marriage!
Hua Lianyue was not convinced, she wanted to say more, but she heard Mrs. Li say leisurely: "Our Li Mansion has been doing business for generations, although there are endless silk and endless gold and silver, but in the eyes of those official eunuchs, they are still untouchables. Fortunately, my Jie'er was very competitive, and his diligent study won the praise of the masters of Qingyuan Academy, and recommended him to go to the capital next year to participate in the imperial examination. If he can go to high school in one fell swoop, he will become a protégé of the Son of Heaven. Our Li family will be able to raise their eyebrows and be ashamed from now on. ”
"The protégé of the Son of Heaven?" Hua Lianyue asked with a frowning brow. is obviously talking about Li Ruolan's marriage, why did it get involved with Li Mingjie again.
Mrs. Li smiled bitterly: "If Lan'er can be strict and the favor of the Hu family, Jie'er's career will go smoothly." "Is this a woman for glory?" Hua Lianyue suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
originally thought that Mrs. Li invited her to protect Li Ruolan closely, which was a sign of cherishing her daughter. After working for a long time, she indirectly paved the way for her son's future career. As for whether Li Ruolan can be happy in the future, it all depends on her own life.
Coming out of Wanshouzhai, she walked along the sporadic gravel road for a long time because she felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't shake off the depression in her heart. Fortunately, there are also many chrysanthemums planted in the backyard, although there are not as many precious varieties as Hufu, but they are gorgeous and prosperous.
The crisp fragrance of flowers lingered on the tip of her nose, and Hua Lianyue took a deep breath, letting the fragrance overflow her lungs, before slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity. She was about to return, but she saw that by the pond not far away, Li Mingjie was wearing a bamboo-colored moire brocade robe, holding a scroll, shaking his head and reading carefully.
Hua Lianyue's eyes narrowed, and the anger that had just been suppressed rose again, and she strode over.
Li Mingjie heard the footsteps, and subconsciously raised his head, but saw Hua Lianyue, whose face was gloomy, coming towards him. His handsome face changed color with fright, and he took a few steps back, and said urgently: "You stop, stop, don't come any closer!"
Hua Lianyue raised her hand and pointed at his nose, just wanting to scold Li Ruolan angrily. Mrs. Li's cold voice suddenly sounded in her ears again: "I dare to tell you these words, but I am not afraid that you will tell Lan'er." It's just that you've been together for so long, so you must know a little bit about her temperament. In addition to adding unnecessary troubles, she will not refuse to give all her ...... for Jer."
Thinking of this, Hua Lianyue put down her hand again. Li Mingjie looked at her vigilantly, like he was looking at a madman, but his body kept a safe distance from her very honestly.
Hua Lianyue spat at him fiercely, and said, "Bah, scum, I'll always force you to look at you, hum!" She turned away arrogantly.
Li Mingjie, who was scolded inexplicably, looked at her slender back that was gradually moving away, shuddered, and said with palpitations: "It's really a crazy woman!"
