Chapter 41: The Maid's Red (8)
"Sister, go and tell your cousin, don't be angry, I have my own way to make Aya obediently offer the dowry I said at the beginning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The corners of Shi Lan's mouth were slightly hooked, with a soft smile on her face.
Ah Ping left in response, and after a while, the sound outside gradually stopped, and the house returned to its former tranquility.
At night, Shi Lan bathed and changed his clothes, stepping on the moonlight pouring all over the ground, fluttering, and a wisp of black clouds suddenly drifted through the black and blue transparent sky, which was like mist and gas, and slowly floated to the top of Shi Lan's head in the gathering and dispersion.
Shi Lan took out her slender and soft hair, and flicked her delicate fingers gently, and the hair seemed to suddenly brighten, like a black light, dragging the black clouds above and flying straight towards Shifu.
Shi Lan looked at the sky fixedly and was silent for a long time, and the good complexion that she had just raised turned a little haggard in an instant.
"That's what you do?" A clear and deep voice sounded behind him, Shi Lan's back stiffened, and his face showed a bitter face, "Cousin." β
In the moonlight, Ji Lang stared at Shi Lan with hatred, "Who gave you the guts to let you spoil your body like this, how can those blockages be worth spending your own longevity scheme." β
Shi Lan had just finished performing the operation, and his body was a little weak at this time, and when he got up and walked around, he staggered before he could stand firm, "What my cousin taught me is that I must perform this technique, and now I just want to advance the date." β
Ji Lang had been standing in the dark and watching her, naturally knowing what kind of witchcraft she was casting, "This time it was still Zhou's magic?" β
Shi Lan shook his head, "It's Shi Yao," Shi Lan caught a glimpse of Ji Lang's disapproving expression, and said, "In the Shi family, the Zhou family and Shi Yao are the most hateful. Cousin, I'm going to leave here, I'm afraid I won't come back for the rest of my life, if I don't avenge here, do I want to let them live here happily? β
Ji Lang shook his head, but he didn't say anything, in his opinion, no one is as important as Shi Lan, as long as she is good, it doesn't matter if he is dead or alive, not to mention that the technique is not a sinister and treacherous evil technique, so when he turned to leave, he only advised, "Tomorrow I will start drinking the decoction I sent on time." β
Shi Lan shrugged, which was considered to be the right one. Ji Lang is not short of money, the decoction he sent last time has excellent efficacy, and after paying three or five, the essence and blood she lost will be replenished, but the lost Shouyuan is unable to make up for it.
Two days later, in the evening, Shi's father changed the practice of avoiding him two days ago, and took the initiative to board the gate of Jifu, followed by seven full-loaded flat-headed wide carriages.
Shi Lan didn't go out, Shi's father was her Aya, and it was better for Ji Lang to come forward for this kind of thing, after all, Shi Lan's identity made her unable to disobey Shi's father's will.
When night fell, the house returned to calm, and Ah Ping ran back from the front yard happily.
Hearing that Father Shi had increased the dowry sent a few days ago by as much as four or five times, Shi Lan pursed her lips and secretly said that Father Shi's family is the best, his father is cold, his fake mother is hypocritical, and his sister is shallow and ignorant.
The original owner has lived in such a home for 16 years, and he can still resist the temptation of wealth and insist on not being a wife, which is really rare, perhaps because of the good genes of the Ji family, so that the original owner can get out of the mud without staining, but unfortunately although the lotus is good, it is not resistant to wind and rain, and finally ends up in a miserable and withered situation.
The next day, Shi Lan finished her practice and came to the bamboo building, and Ji Lang told her the news she had heard yesterday.
Two days after the operation, Shi Yao suddenly became confused when she was traveling, and spread the news that she had assassinated a noble girl because of jealousy in the court, and now after the family learned about it, it has been reported to King Jiang, asking His Majesty to judge, Shi's father is anxious, and the official position that has just been promoted may not be guaranteed, and he has to find a way to treat Shi Yao, who has fallen into a catastrophe, and Zhou's condition has also taken a turn for the worse because of this change, and now he is locked in the house as a crazy woman, and he can't go out for half a step.
Shi Lan listened quietly, and the feeling of burning fire in his heart lightened a little, and he knew in his heart that he was right to do this, and the sacrifice of the essence blood and the lost longevity was worth it.
The original owner actually hated it, hated her father who left her coldly aside, hated the Zhou family who was kind on the face and secretly ruthless and greedy, and Shi Yao, who was bitter and mean, and always liked to bully herself.
It's just that she is an indisputable character, and in the face of all kinds of difficulties and injustices, she only remembers filial piety and buries her grievances and hatred deep in her heart.
When Shi Father arrived at Shifu under the will of only 400 Shiyi County Lieutenant, Shi Lan carried a box full of gold leaves, boarded a carriage to meet the princess's bridal convoy, and before leaving, she left Ah Ping in Jifu.
Ah Ping is loyal to the original owner, and Shi Lan hopes that such a loyal servant can spend his old age leisurely.
On the carriage, Ji Lang, who had been dissuaded several times to no avail, quietly stuffed a piece of warm white jade into her palm, her face was still uninhibited, but her eyes were hidden with deep concern, "Your dowry cousin will be exchanged for gold and silver in a few days, and he will be brought to Zhao State." You take this, there are spies in Zhao Guogong who are loyal to the Ji family, looking for an opportunity to get in touch, this is the last help your cousin can give you. β
Shi Lan's eyes were hot, and crystal tears rolled back and forth in her eyes, and she was about to burst into tears.
Seeing her like this, Ji Lang snorted: "If you regret it, it's still too late now." β
Shi Lan had tears in her eyes, but there was a firm smile on the corner of her mouth, and she shook her head.
Ji Lang was angry, threw down his sleeves, jumped out of the carriage, and his clear and deep voice came from outside the carriage, "Ah Lan, you have to keep in mind that you have the blood of the Ji family in your body, and you are countless times more noble than those princesses and princes." β
Shi Lan lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Ji Lang's wide sleeves flying, and the wide robe swayed lightly in the wind, and smiled slightly, cousin, don't worry, I will let everyone know that there is a girl named Shi Lan in the world.
The convoy of weddings set off slowly, and two months was enough time for Shi Lan to break down all the vigilance that Duanyang had established, and when he was about to arrive at the capital of Zhao State, Duanyang's attitude towards Shi Lan was obviously much more affectionate.
The convoy meandered through the streets of the capital, and the roadside was full of onlookers, and Duanyang walked into the resting post house under the guidance of the envoys of Jiang and the officials of Zhao State.
Shi Lan was dressed in simple and loose white clothes and followed silently with the other three maids, and from her perspective, she could clearly see Duanyang's tense jaw, stiffened shoulders and back, and her nervous trembling that she couldn't control herself.
Shi Lan pursed her lips, her slender body was straight, and the steps under her feet were not big or small, just keeping up with the steps in front, but they were hidden in the shadows behind Duanyang.
Among the officials who greeted him, one of them, a handsome young man in dark black armor, quickly noticed the different Shi Lan, looking at her elegant figure, the young man couldn't help but pause, and his eyes looked back and forth on Shi Lan.
Obviously has a unique appearance but does not have a pink delicacy, obviously graceful and noble, but is willing to fall behind everyone and hide in the dark.
Why is that?
The young general's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
