Chapter 47: Confession
What identity Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran want to use to get out of the customs with Xia Shuanghan is the first problem that they need to discuss and solve together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Shaoyun is the object of Xia Shuanghan's elopement, of course there is no problem with going to Naming Village with her, but what about Lin Xiran? He didn't elope with Xia Shuanghan, what did he, the so-called "cousin" of Lu Shaoyun, do?
According to the results of the discussion between the three of them, if Xia Shuanghan really wants to elope with his lover, then things should follow this order: the first step, the Dingguo Mansion came to the door to propose, and Xia Shuanghan's refusal to marry was invalid. In the second step, Xia Shuanghan contacted the lover, and the two of them selected the corresponding elopement route and time together, and prepared the fake road guide needed along the way. The third step is to pack up as many belongings as you can, and then flee together.
According to the second step, needless to say, the escape route is naturally the man who followed Xia Shuanghan out of the customs to Naming Village. But time, you can't choose to go with the Rong caravan. After all, a Rong woman and a familiar Rong caravan disappeared from the capital at the same time, and a fool can guess who she was going with and who she was going to go with.
So, since you can't leave Beijing with the caravan, can you advance the departure time? The answer is: no.
If the time of leaving Beijing is advanced, without knowing how long it will take to leave Beijing as soon as they "elope", too tight time is not enough for Xia Shuanghan and her lover to be fully prepared for the upcoming trip. Therefore, it is not advisable.
Therefore, Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun's only choice was to wait for the Rong caravan to leave Beijing first, and then set off, only in this way could they hide their true whereabouts as much as possible. As for how many days they would have to wait, it was up to them to decide the outcome of their subsequent negotiations with Hazru.
Next, comes the third step.
As two people in a hurry, Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun were destined to not be able to carry enough supplies to embark on the journey. Although it is said that as long as they have money, all material problems can be solved, but when they are about to start a new life from scratch in other places, it is undoubtedly a kind of suffocating waste to abandon or sell all the materials in the capital that are not easy to carry at a low price, and then buy new ones at a high price outside the border.
Therefore, in such a situation, if Lin Xiran, the so-called "cousin" of Lu Shaoyun, can carry the necessary daily necessities for a carriage and bring more cost-effective living materials than those bought now, and then prepare two or three carriages of goods that can be sold outside the customs, and leave the capital with the Rong caravan in advance and go to the gates, then the new life that Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun are about to start in a different place will undoubtedly be much easier and easier.
The question of why Lin Xiran went to Naming Village with Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun was solved, and the next question was why he was willing to live outside the border with his so-called cousins and sisters-in-law. After all, if it is a man whose parents are still alive, no matter how good his relationship with his cousins is, there is no reason to leave his parents for the sake of his brother. Therefore, the tragic life experience of "both parents are dead, there are no other relatives, and the two brothers depend on each other for their lives" should come in handy.
The kinship of the cousins is solved, but the question of life history needs to be reconsidered. After all, men like Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran who want to be literate, martial, good-looking, and have outstanding temperament are not just what anyone can bring.
Of course, if he wants to solve this problem, Lin Xiran can actually choose to use the method of disguise, disguise himself and Lu Shaoyun as unattractive, and then forcibly distort the temperament of the sons of the family that they have cultivated at home since childhood. However, you said that you are a man who is not good-looking, poor and white, why do you want a man who has nothing to let Xia Shuanghan leave the young master of the Dingguo Mansion to elope with you?
Therefore, Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran not only couldn't make themselves very cold, but on the contrary, they had to make themselves look like they couldn't compare to the young master of the Dingguo Mansion except for their family background and status. Thus, the "Lie War" that orchestrated his family history and upbringing began.
After a long period of tripartite discussions, Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun adapted such a story based on the real people and true stories of the Jiangnan place provided by Lin Xiran: The Tang family in Jiangnan, this is where Lu Shaoyun (Tang Shixuan, Shixuan is the character) and Lin Xiran (Tang Shiran, 杍然 is the character) were born and raised. The grandfather of the two Tang brothers, the deceased Mrs. Tang, was a martial artist when he was young, and served as a local inspector in a certain area in the south of the Yangtze River. Mrs. Tang's wife is a young lady from a Jinshi family, and the couple have two sons and a daughter, but unfortunately the young daughter died when she was young.
The eldest son of the Tang couple, Uncle Tang, that is, the father of Tang Shixuan (Lu Shaoyun), founded the Longyun Dart Bureau when he became an adult, and married his wife for two years and had a son, but unfortunately encountered a bandit on the next dart trip. During the fight, Uncle Tang was unable to have children in the future due to the fundamental injury, so he only had one child. The second son of the Tang couple, Tang Erye, that is, Tang Qiran (Lin Xiran)'s father, joined the army at the age of fourteen, married a wife at the age of eighteen, and spilled blood on the battlefield at the age of twenty-two, leaving his wife who was pregnant with a posthumous son to support alone, so he also has only one child.
When Tang Shixuan was full moon, Tang Qiran was born, but the second lady of Tang died of blood collapse due to dystocia, so Tang Qiran, who lost his father and mother, was adopted by his uncle and aunt, and since he was born, he has lived a life of eating and living with his cousin, going to school and playing together.
Can the brothers ride and shoot martial arts? That's because he learned from his grandfather; Will the brothers be able to write poetry and songs? The mentor is naturally their grandmother; The brothers are good-looking? That is the Tang family's good inheritance and good upbringing; The brothers have outstanding temperaments? That's naturally because the Tang family has no worries about food and clothing, and there is a grandmother from a scholarly family who leads by example.
So in this way, fourteen years later, the two brothers, who grew up under the careful education of the elders, entered the Longyun Dart Bureau together to help the Tang family take care of the business in the dart game. It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good fortune and misfortune, the Tang family uncle in the third year of the Tang family brothers into the dart game, once again encountered a bandit on the way to the dart, which caused all the dart cars to be looted, and all valuables were lost.
In order to compensate for the huge amount of property that was robbed and pay for the funeral expenses and medical expenses of many dead and injured dart masters, the Tang family had to reluctantly sell the Longyun Dart Bureau. Subsequently, under the double blow of losing many years of business hard work and being seriously injured, the uncle of the Tang family soon could not support it and died, and when he died, he left a last word that the children of the Tang family were not allowed to dart again.
And Mrs. Tang, who loved her deceased husband deeply, and Mrs. Tang, who had lost her wife for many years and lost her son again, also had a great deal of grief, and soon followed the uncle of the Tang family and died. At this point, the Tang family was left with only Tang Shixuan and Tang Qiran brothers to rely on each other.
After the Tang brothers were buried in the coffins of their grandfather and parents, they resolutely entered the patrol yamen after being buried in the coffins of their grandfather and parents. After more than half a year, with the sincere cooperation of the predecessors of the patrol and arrest yamen, they finally arrested the thief and brought the thief to justice, and at the same time completely eliminated the den of the bandits. At this point, the Tang brothers have taken revenge, and their wish has been fulfilled. Subsequently, they left Jiangnan under the guidance of their direct boss, the inspector, and came to the capital to sign up for the martial arts, and determined to be a good official who eliminated violence and peace and harmed the people in the future.
"Wait a minute, since you came to the capital to participate in the martial arts, you can wait for the next time if you don't win once, why is this Tang Shixuan willing to give up his future for a woman?" Lin Xiran, who heard Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan compile here, disagreed: "Robbing a daughter-in-law with the young master of the Dingguo Mansion, does this Tang Shixuan want to mix up in the officialdom in the future?" ”
"The brothers of the Tang family didn't come to the martial arts exam to get promoted and get rich, so what's wrong with giving up their careers for their wives?" Xia Shuanghan retorted: "And as long as the rumor passes, it will be the same if you return to Beijing for the exam in a few years!" You don't need to stay outside the customs for the rest of your life, okay? ”
As for why the elopement location was not chosen as the Tang family's ancestral hometown Jiangnan? This is very understandable, it is not uncommon for the Tang brothers who entered Beijing to take the martial arts examination not to pass the exam, but they actually brought back a woman with brown hair and amber pupils, which is too rare and eye-catching. Therefore, for the sake of security and confidentiality, it is obviously not a good idea to go to Jiangnan.
