Chapter 119: Marriage
"Aren't you still young......?
Xue Qi shook his head: "The wrong eye is the wrong eye, and it is useless to be reluctant." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liao Yunxi glanced at him with disgust: "Then you still take people to the mansion with your eyes? Who in this Anjing City doesn't know that you, a guy with eyes above the top, have taken Geng'er as half a student? Do you dare to say that you didn't have the idea of helping Yao'er look at each other?"
"I did have that idea at the beginning, but then I continued to keep him in the house because I really liked Geng'er. Xue Qi sighed, "Yao'er and Geng'er are not suitable for this matter, and the most hurt is actually me!"
Liao Yunxi snorted and squinted at him: "So now that Geng'er is asking to marry Ying'er, you are actually happy in your heart, right?"
Xue Qi shook his head, serious: "I feel sorry for Geng'er." ”
"you!" Liao Yunxi couldn't help but push him.
For three whole days, Xue Ying was groggy under the effect of the medicine, only knowing that the third lady was afraid that she would have no one to take care of, so she released Dong Xun. Zhen's mother came once, and when she saw her appearance, she cried and fainted, so angry that the third lady simply sent her to another place to recuperate.
Maybe it was because she slept too much during the day, but this night Xue Ying suddenly woke up, sat up and listened attentively.
Dong Xun, who was keeping vigil, found that she had woken up, rubbed her eyes in a daze, and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Dongxun, do you hear the sound outside?"
"Voice, what sound?" Dong Xun listened and shook his head, "No." ”
Xue Ying closed her eyes and listened carefully again: "There is a voice, far away." ”
"Miss......" Dong Xun looked pity, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Xue Ying only felt that her heart was beating wildly, full of ominous premonitions, and simply got out of bed and walked outside.
Dong Xun was taken aback, and hurriedly caught up: "Miss, you haven't ...... yet"
"Shhhh
"Third Miss!" there were several maids standing outside the door, and they were all surprised to see her open the door. An older mother-in-law said, "Third Miss, go in quickly, be careful of your headache when the wind blows." ”
Xue Ying ignored them, walked to the courtyard and looked up, the moon and stars were scarce, everything was in full swing, although the heat of the day had dissipated for the most part, but the night wind still carried the smell of the scorching sun.
"Third Miss......" The woman was about to speak, but was stopped by Xue Ying raising her hand.
She pointed in the direction of the courtyard wall: "What is that place over there?"
"Beyond that, it's the ...... of Lotus Fragrance Garden"
"It's not. Xue Ying interrupted her impatiently, "I mean, the direction of Anjing City." ”
"Over there is the West Market, and the West Market is the West City Gate. It's not very peaceful over there, I heard that there are a lot of homeless people gathered outside the West City Gate, and a few days ago there were homeless people who somehow sneaked into the city, but fortunately, the night patrol caught those people in time...... Ouch, what's going on over there?"
Sure enough, the west side that Xue Ying was pointing to suddenly lit up with an orange-red light, and the light became more and more obvious. Faintly, there seemed to be some noisy voices.
"Violent ...... Riots?" asked Dongxun tremblingly. They had also experienced it once before in Lian'an City, and although there was no danger in the end, it still left a shadow in her heart, so she thought about it at once.
Xue Ying took a deep breath: "I'm afraid yes." "The riots that have spread in many places have finally come to Anjing, the capital of Dagu.
When the mother-in-law heard this, her face turned pale with fright, but after all, she was an experienced old man, so she quickly calmed down and said to the maid behind her: "Go and inform the night watch." ”
Although the little maid was also trembling with fright, she did not lose her temper after all, and ran quickly outside the courtyard after listening to the order. It didn't take long for the mother-in-law of the night watch to arrive.
"Hurry back to the house, don't move around until dawn!"
Xue Ying looked around, although the sound was subtle, she could feel that the night watchmen and guards in the house had already taken action and began to strengthen the guards, she knew that someone would naturally deal with the next matter, so she pulled Dong Xun, who was weak, and went back to the house.
The woman looked at her still calm back, and a look of inquiry flashed on her face.
Although there was a riot that night, it was fortunately quickly suppressed, and half of the alley near the west gate was burned, but other than that, it did not cause much damage.
But after all, Anjing City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and half of the alley was burned in the event of a homeless riot, which almost caused a catastrophe, and the Son of Heaven was furious, and people panicked for a moment.
Of course, these are all things later, for Xue Ying, what happened next was much more shocking than this "riot" with heavy thunder and small rain - Lan Yi's parents arrived in Anjing City and actually agreed to her marriage with Lan Geng!
This incident was told to her by Liao Yunxi, and Liao Yunxi's joyful face was like pie smashed in the sky, so that she had to hold back her doubts and objections. But in any case, it is difficult for her to remain calm about the marriage that Zhuang inexplicably turned around.
She understands that in this era, most marriage contracts are the words of the matchmaker at the behest of her parents, but please, she is not yet eight years old when she is full, as for the marriage in such a hurry?
It's just that Liao Yunxi's performance also made her understand one thing: no matter whether she is disfigured or not, being able to set this village marriage is a blessing that she has cultivated for eight lifetimes, and in the face of such good things, she should burn high incense to her ancestors and repay her vows to the Buddhas and gods one by one. So if she dares to show the slightest suspicion or opposition, she is likely to face an uproar.
"Yoyun...... It's Geng'er's mother, the lady in charge of the Lan family, who originally came to see you, but I excused myself on the grounds that you are still recuperating. Although the ugly daughter-in-law will see her in-laws sooner or later, you can't be sloppy when you see each other for the first time, I think it's better to wait for the injury on your face to get better before letting you meet. Liao Yunxi took Xue Ying's hand and chattered, "Geng'er is also very attentive, these days he has been constantly looking for you prescriptions to treat the injuries on your face, and I heard that he also wrote letters to the business houses in various places of the Lan family, asking them to help find those rare medicinal materials." If he hadn't insisted on it, the Lan family might not have recognized this family......"
The bandages wrapped around Xue Ying's face have been removed, and the exposed wound has a layer of dark brown scabs, which looks particularly shocking, and if she is accidentally seen by a child, she will definitely cry in fright. At this time, it is really difficult to meet outsiders, especially sensitive objects such as "future mother-in-law".
After Liao Yunxi left, Xue Ying hadn't woken up from the chaos in her head, and Aunt Sun asked slowly, "Does Miss want to hear about the situation of the Lan family?"
Xue Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Aunt Sun, why do I think you're gloating?"
Aunt Sun smiled: "Miss, after you get to know the Lan family and the young master of the Lan family, maybe you won't be so resistant." ”
"I don't want to understand. Xue Ying touched her face, which was a little painful because she was too excited to speak hard, and was very depressed, "What's going on." ”
"Don't you really want to hear it?"
"What's going on outside? The riots have been suppressed, but how are those displaced people settled? Also, is the drought and locust plague still going on?" Xue Ying simply changed the subject.
