Chapter 211: Zhu Wei
Lin Wu walked slowly along the bluestone road, followed by a group of palace maids and Mulan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On both sides of the bluestone road are all kinds of trees and grasses that are budding or ready to bud, pear blossoms bloom the earliest, at this time the branches are already clustered with white flowers, the wind blows, the white flowers will fly down with the wind.
Lin Wu watched slowly, all the way forward, and before she knew it, she was far away from Changkun Palace.
Mu Lan suddenly reminded her at this time: "Fifth Miss, we can't go any further, if we go any further, we will reach the outer palace, which is not within the scope of the harem." β
Lin Wu stopped and let out an "oh".
After a while, she suddenly pointed to a bridge standing on the water in front of her with some curiosity and asked, "What is that?" β
Mu Lan replied with a smile: "That's the Bahe Bridge, after crossing this bridge, there is the Qinzheng Hall where the emperor works, the palace of the six departments, and the barracks of the Praetorian Guard, etc. β
Lin Wu nodded understandingly, and then asked, "Then is the river below the Ba River?" Where does it go? β
Mu Lan said: "Yes, this is the Ba River. Its water flows outside the palace and connects to the Gyeonggi River. β
Lin Wan said: "So that's the case. β
There was a turbulent sound of flowing water under the Bahe Bridge, like crisp and pleasant music, which made Lin Wu have a moment of tranquility.
Lin Wu turned her head and asked Mu Lan, "Can I stand on the bridge for a while?" β
Mu Lan hesitated a little, glanced at the Bahe Bridge, then looked at Lin Wan's expectant expression, thought about it, and finally said, "It's okay for Miss Fifth to stand on the bridge for a while, but don't cross the bridge." β
Lin Wan said happily: "Auntie, I know. β
After saying that, he stood on the bridge.
Under the bridge is some turbulent water, crashing on the rocks, rolling up a splash, and there are even green aquatic plants on both sides of the flowing water, which does not look like a well-tended river in the palace, but like a quiet river in the deep mountains.
She stood on the bridge and looked down at the rushing river, and lost her mind for a moment.
On the other side of the Bahe Bridge, Zhu Wei looked at the woman standing on the bridge from a distance and squinted his eyes slightly.
At first, he thought it was a lady who walked in the harem and scattered here, but then he looked at the dress of the woman and the girl, and the more he looked at it, the less he looked like it, and then he felt that the figure was a little familiar.
He looked at it for a while, finally remembered, and then couldn't help but smile.
His colleague turned his head to look at him who suddenly laughed inexplicably, and asked, "Why are you laughing all of a sudden?" β
Zhu Wei didn't answer his words, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You take the others to continue patrolling, and I'll follow later." With that, he left.
His colleagues looked at his back as he walked away, and they felt inexplicable.
Lin Wu stood on the bridge for a while, raised her head and took a deep breath, and finally spit out the sad things that she had been unhappy about in the past few days, and her mood became a little more open, without the original depression.
She was about to turn away, when something suddenly hit the hem of her skirt and made a "plop" sound.
Lin Wu looked down, and then saw that it was a white pear blossom in the hem of her skirt.
Lin Wu bent down to pick up the pear blossom on the ground, looked in the direction where the pear blossom was beaten, and then saw the Yuhe Bridge half across the bridge, leaning on the stone pillar on the bridge, and looking at her young man with some boredom.
Lin Wu looked at him carefully, and then suddenly said with some surprise: "It's you?" β
Zhu Wei snorted and said, "Naturally it's me, who do you think it is?" β
Lin Wu didn't speak, and raised her clear eyes.
She remembered him, that day on the street, that is, the day she and Xu Xiao met by chance in the bookstore, when she came out of the bookstore to take the carriage to go home, the horse was suddenly frightened for some reason, and it was he who saved her and controlled the frightened horse for her.
At that time, he knew that she was a girl from the Lin family, but she asked him who he was, and wanted to let the family come to the door to thank him later, but he didn't say it, and then left.
Lin Wu looked at him and asked, "Why are you here?" β
Zhu Wei glanced down at the forbidden army uniform on his body, then raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm Jin Wuwei, why do you say I'm here." β
Only then did Lin Wu understand that he was a palace guard.
Mu Lan looked at the two people who were talking across a bridge, and originally wanted to avoid suspicion and invite Lin Wu back to Changkun Palace, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything in the end, and waved her hand to let the palace people around her walk a few steps away, and she stood next to her.
Zhu Wei looked at Lin Wu, "hey" again, and asked, "Were you crying just now?" β
Lin Wu glared at her and said dissatisfiedly: "You just cried." β
Zhu Wei said: "I still said no, I see that your eyes are red." Then she didn't give Lin Wu a chance to refute, and then asked, "Why are you crying?" Because the relationship with the Xu family's Tanhualang was not negotiated? β
Lin Wu said strangely: "How do you know that Xu Gongzi and I were originally discussing marriage?" β
Zhu Wei snorted disdainfully and said, "Who else in the capital who is a little more well-informed." β
Lin Wu suddenly felt that her face was flushed, and she realized that she had lost face and thrown her outside.
Zhu Wei said again: "If you want me to say, Xu Xiao is not worthy of you at all, he is hesitant and indecisive, and he is a literati with a sour and rotten spirit, if the marriage fails, it will not be done, why should you be sad for him." β
Lin Wu bit her lip and lowered her head and her eyes were slightly red.
She only felt that this person was really hateful, she was already in a good mood, but she was going to mention this matter again to make her unhappy.
Zhu Wei looked at her appearance, her heart suddenly moved, and then a sentence that she had never thought of suddenly blurted out, saying, "If you are afraid that you will not be able to marry, you can marry me." β
Lin Wu was startled at first, then stared at him with wide eyes, and said with some annoyance: "You, you, you ......" As a result, you only thought of one sentence for a long time, and finally only thought of one sentence, "You are a hooligan!" β
Zhu Wei was also a little surprised how he could say this, but when he said it, he felt that it was actually a really good idea.
Zhu Wei said: "I mean seriously, I'll marry you." Anyway, I'm a person, I don't dare to say how good it is, but compared with Xu, it's always a little better than him. β
Lin Wu said with annoyance and redness on her face: "The matter of marriage is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of my parents, how can you and I talk about it in private." β
Zhu Wei said: "Don't worry, I don't want to teach you privately, after I go back, I will let my parents come to the door to propose." β
Lin Wu was still dissatisfied, only thinking that he was deliberately distorting her meaning, and said: "You said that Xu Gongzi is not worthy of me, why do you think you are worthy of me." β
Zhu Wei raised his head slightly, really thought about this question seriously, and then began to list them one by one: "In terms of family history, the Xu family has fallen like that, and they hold the faΓ§ade with a little merit of the ancestors, and I am the son of Bofu; In terms of age, he is seven years older than you and I am three years older than you, of course, I am more suitable for you; In terms of portals, my family and yours are both nobles, and they are also taking the path of military generals, and we will have more common topics in the future. If you marry him, are you going to listen to him every day? You don't get bored. The most important thing is that I didn't want to marry my cousin, and my cousins were all out of the cabinet. β
After thinking about it for a while, he added: "Didn't he promise you not to take a concubine for the rest of your life?" Then I may not take a concubine for the rest of your life. How, no matter which one comes down, I'm better than him, right? (To be continued.) )
