Guo Lingfei didn't stop Nie Feng, nor did he say a word. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because Guo Lingfei knows that this is nonsense, except for "I love you", everything else is nonsense.
Since you don't love, you have to resolutely refuse, because as long as you give a glimmer of false hope, it will drive her to a dead end, and you can only continue to love stupidly all the time.
In the next few days, Guo Lingfei didn't look at Nie Feng, she always seemed to avoid Guo Lingfei. Later, the housekeeper said that Nie Feng was sick. Guo Lingfei didn't hope
Over Nie Feng.
Because Guo Lingfei never dared to give Nie Feng too much false hope.
A few days later, the Marquis invited a witch to sacrifice.
It was a very solemn day, and a high sacrificial platform was erected in the outer courtyard in advance, and there were coolies who built the sacrificial platform in and out. The servants in the house were not idle, and they were busy in and out of all kinds of sacrificial supplies, and the room was full of sacrificial items such as pigs, cows, and sheep.
The witch wore a wide black sacrificial robe, her long hair was draped all the way to her waist, and the black face that had not seen the light of day all the year round was so pale that there was no blood, and there was an inexplicable eerie feeling. She opened her hands as if she wanted to embrace heaven and earth, and there were words in her mouth.
In this way, the date of the courtship was set for the third day of the next month.
In the evening, the Marquis of Jihou held a large banquet to entertain the local officials and nobles. burnt, broiled, cannon, burned, steamed, boiled, exploded, burned, stewed, stewed, boiled, preserved, soup...... There's a wide variety of dishes.
This is Guo Lingfei's first time attending a banquet, and there are new historical materials to study, Guo Lingfei should be very happy, but Guo Lingfei's heart is not at this banquet at all, she doesn't realize that she is engaged like this. Because her mind has been thinking about how to help Ji Xuan escape from that terrible marriage.
In addition to the singer and the dancer, there are no other female dependents at tonight's banquet, because in ancient times, not to mention the concubine room, even the main room had no right to participate in the banquet, because the status of women in ancient times was extremely low.
Guo Lingfei looked at the drunken people at the banquet, and looked at the group of singers and dancers, his eyes were already confused. So he sneaked away with urine.
Guo Lingfei followed the path to avoid the servants in the house and came to his sister Ji Xuan's room.
"Sister! Did you sleep? Guo Lingfei gently patted Ji Xuan's window, lowered his voice and asked softly in front of Ji Xuan's window.
"Brother, is that you?" Ji Xuan's voice was cheerful. It didn't take long for her to jump to the ground, come to the door, open the door, and throw herself into Guo Lingfei's arms.
"Brother, do you want to take Xuan Xuan to play?" The little girl looked up at Guo Lingfei, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Xuan'er, do you have a sweetheart?" Guo Lingfei looked at the little girl and subconsciously blurted out.
But as soon as he asked, Guo Lingfei felt that he was simply stupid. Not to mention that this girl is still young, and she doesn't know what feelings are, and she lives in the boudoir and has little contact with boys.
More importantly, according to Guo Lingfei's historical knowledge, she knew that in ancient times, once a girl escaped marriage and was caught, she would be beaten to death. With his own ability, he can definitely capture Ji Xuan back in the shortest possible time.
Although the little girl is still young, she also knows what her sweetheart is, her face is slowly dyed red, she lowered her head shyly, and said softly, "Brother...... You just like to tease Xuanxuan. ”
Guo Lingfei looked at the little girl, thinking that she was about to go to the northwest, thinking that she would be wiped out of her innocence by the wind and sand, and that she would be erased by the savagery of that group of men. Guo Lingfei couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, this is the little sister she once loved!
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Guo Lingfei's mind.
She thought of a solution, but it might be a bit risky and costly.
"Xuan Xuan, don't you really want to go to the northwest and marry the leader of the Yue Clan." Guo Lingfei asked Ji Xuan very seriously.
Hearing this, the blush on Ji Xuan's face faded instantly, his whole face was pale and pale, his eyes were full of moisture, and he looked like he was about to cry, and even trembled slightly, looking pitiful and pitiful.
"Brother, listen to my mother talk about the northwest...... The northwest is where Ru Mao drinks blood, and Xuan Xuan is afraid. And the mother also cried all the time. Ji Xuan's voice was choked, and he sobbed for a while before he said, "If Xuan Xuan goes to the northwest, will my brother still worry about Xuan Xuan?" ”
Guo Lingfei felt that her heart was blocked by something, the blood vessels in her whole body were also pressed by something, and the blood could not flow smoothly, so that she felt that breathing was extremely difficult at this moment.
"No, my brother won't remember. Xuan'er's appearance will definitely blur little by little in her brother's mind. Because my brother's memory is very poor, Xuan'er has to stay with my brother all the time, you know? Guo Lingfei said every word with difficulty, and she felt that her lips and tongue were trembling.
Because this girl is the first person she feels like a relative in this era.
Maybe because she was an orphan in the past, there was a girl named Li Xinyan in the past, she used to regard her as a sister, Ji Xuan really wanted Li Xinyan in the past, so naïve, so delicate. Maybe Ji Xuan is here to fill the gap in her heart.
"Xuan'er, my brother is going back to the banquet, I'll play with you tomorrow, and by the way, I'll tell you the interesting stories at the banquet, okay? Sleep obediently! Guo Lingfei touched Ji Xuan's hair, which was very soft.
"Okay. But tomorrow, tomorrow seems like a long time to come. Okay, Xuan Xuan will be obedient, but brother, you must come tomorrow! Ji Xuan pouted childishly.
Before leaving, Ji Xuan also stretched out his hand to hook up with Guo Lingfei.
Guo Lingfei left Ji Xuan's room, walked for a while, and came to the door of the seventh lady's room. The room was still bright, and Guo Lingfei knocked on the door gently.
"Who? Is it a nurse? Is it Xuan'er, what's wrong? A beautiful female voice came from the room, and it was full of anxiety.
"It's me, ma'am." Guo Lingfei replied.
There was a sound of rustling in the room, probably the Seventh Lady was getting dressed. After a while, the door opened.
The seventh lady has a beige long dress all her life, no makeup on her face, her hair is simply tied in a bun, without any hairpins, and her white and round earlobes do not wear any earrings, which is very simple. Despite such a naturally beautiful Seventh Lady, she still looks very delicate and lovely, and her overly wide skirt can't hide her proud figure at all.
"I've seen Childe." The Seventh Lady bowed slightly and flew to Guo Ling.
"Madame doesn't have to be polite."
"The banquet shouldn't be over now, and the son came to visit late at night, so there must be good news to bring. The old man decided not to marry Xuan'er? The Seventh Lady opened her already big eyes, and her face was full of anticipation.
