Chapter 107: Dilemma
After getting the old way's reply, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly wrote a letter to King Jing and sent it. Now, she really didn't dare to meet King Jing directly. is not only unwilling to kneel at every turn, but also because of the gap in the hierarchy, Li Xiaonuan really can't adapt.
In the letter, she reported to King Jing that Lao Dao had already known about their plan. I hope that King Jing will embarrass her less because of this. At least, don't let her always go to the Zhao family to attract hatred.
Since Zhao Lichuan returned to the village, the door of the Zhao family was still tightly closed, the same as before he came back. Moreover, those who want to get close to the door are almost always turned away.
After Zhao Wangchuan returned to the village, in addition to visiting Li Zheng and the patriarch, he only came to the Li family. Therefore, everyone is saying that Zhao Lichuan has taken a fancy to Li Xiaonuan. For this reason, there have been people who have come to Li's house to tempt.
Of course, a closed gate will only hinder the villagers. Those matchmakers are all thick-skinned with city walls, so they naturally won't stop because of a broken door. Therefore, almost every few days, someone will come to Zhao Lichuan to tell him about his family.
But without exception, those matchmakers were politely refused. It is precisely because of that everyone thinks that Zhao Lichuan and Li Xiaonuan are true. No matter how Su explained to others, they just didn't believe it.
Therefore, Li Xiaonuan was dismissed, and later got into a rumor lawsuit, and the marriage fraud incident a while ago was turned over by some well-intentioned people. For a while, those things became a topic of conversation in the neighborhood and even in the entire prefecture.
Everyone was divided into three factions.
Supporting Li Xiaonuan's innocence, who should not be burdened by this reputation, is a faction of its own. However, this faction is smaller. Most of the people who stand on Li Xiaonuan's side have also suffered more or less because of their reputation.
The opposite of support is naturally opposition. Those people say that people like Li Xiaonuan should comb themselves and not marry. Or go directly to the temple to spend the rest of your life, so as not to bring the reputation of the rest of the family. This kind of people make up the majority.
In the end, the least number of people were the neutrals. It is not so much that these people are neutral, but that these people are indifferent. Because, in their opinion, they don't know who Li Xiaonuan is, so why should they care about her.
In this way, in this scorching summer, Li Xiaonuan once again became a hot topic in Fucheng. It was also at this time that King Jing sent someone to send the books back. Li Xiaonuan checked it and found that the traces of the book being rubbed were obvious.
What made Li Xiaonuan collapse the most was that King Jing emphasized in the letter that Li Xiaonuan must know more about going to sea no matter what. In particular, the route and the response measures to various critical situations encountered, etc
Moreover, this time, King Jing's tone was quite tough, and the letter was written in a commanding tone. At the end of the letter, King Jing promised to promise Li Xiaonuan one thing as a condition. Of course, that must not be unreasonable, and it must not go beyond what the law can bear.
Li Xiaonuan put down the letter in his hand and felt extremely bitter in his mouth. Under such circumstances, King Jing actually gave her such a problem. In order to relieve the boredom, Li Xiaonuan planned to go to the wasteland to relax.
Although, at this time, Li Xiaonuan should be hiding at home and not going anywhere. But she is an alien soul who does not have this kind of self-realization. So, she went out without any pressure.
When passing by the door of Zhao's house, he was stopped by Aunt Lin, who went out to pick vegetables, and the two chatted for a while. From Aunt Lin's words, Li Xiaonuan heard two messages.
First, at this cusp, Li Xiaonuan should not contact the masters of the Zhao family.
Second, it is best to find a family as soon as possible to marry, so that it will not be criticized by those people.
Li Xiaonuan's heart became even more bitter. She put on a smiling face, thanked Aunt Lin, and went to the pond in a daze. Li Xiaonuan, who was in a dilemma, suddenly felt much better when she saw the clear pool water.
The water was quite clear, and even the small translucent silvery-white fish at the bottom of the water could be seen clearly. Li Xiaonuan found a relatively convenient and safe place and went down to the edge of the water.
Choosing a flat stone to sit down, Li Xiaonuan looked around and found that no one came here. She boldly removed her shoes and socks, lifted the hem of her trousers, and dipped her feet in the water.
The cool water of the pool will cool from the toes to the heart. At this moment, Li Xiaonuan forgot about the troubles of the right talent for the time being. She sat quietly, watching the little fish curiously approach her feet, and then she was frightened and fled in all directions.
This pool is actually really good-looking. The edge of the pool is almost all rubble, and there is no sense of dirt and mud. At the bottom of the water there is a layer of emerald aquatic plants, gently swaying with the water waves. Unknown small fish wander among them, full of wild fun.
Li Xiaonuan looked at it with a smile and enjoyed the clarity and coolness of the water. Before she knew it, she came back to her senses and thought of something upset.
Today is the sixth day that Zhao Wangchuan and their entry into the mountain, I don't know if she can meet Lao Dao in private when they come back. In other words, Li Xiaonuan really thought of a very frustrating solution, that is, to let Xiaogang be a messenger. Then, all communication is replaced by letters.
But the point is that Li Xiaonuan feels that this matter will not work at all. First of all, Aunt Zhao had already asked Aunt Lin to tell her to keep the distance between the two families. Moreover, it is indeed a bit difficult for him to make Xiao Gang a messenger.
After all, Xiao Gang is now Qi Ji's apprentice, and he has to go to the medical hall every day to study. What's more, Xiao Gang is also a member of the Li family, and if he frequently goes in and out of the Zhao Mansion, he will definitely be criticized.
"Hey~", Li Xiaonuan let out a long sigh. I think her life is so difficult. What about the halo of the heroine? Said that the good mix is prosperous? Why didn't she meet the kind of noble person who regarded her as a treasure?
"God, you're really going to play me to death. Is it interesting for me to be so embarrassed? Yes? Interesting? Li Xiaonuan muttered, and naughtily stretched out her hand to pat the water.
When the interest was reached, Li Xiaonuan simply took the opportunity to scream "ahhh But before she could scream, she was dragged up from the stone. Li Xiaonuan panicked and looked at the person in front of him for unknown reasons.
"Sister Xiao Nuan, how are you, are you hurt?" Zhou Liufei didn't see Li Xiaonuan's expression, but asked nervously.
"I'm fine, Brother Liu Fei. I was just playing in the water. Brother Liu Fei, why are you here? Only then did Li Xiaonuan know that Zhou Liufei was afraid that something would happen to her so he pulled her up.
Zhou Liufei was stunned. He thought that Li Xiaonuan was in danger before he pulled her up. Who would have thought that it was a misunderstanding. He looked at Li Xiaonuan's bare feet and white calves, and hurriedly turned his back with red ears and red ears.
"Sister Xiao Nuan, why are you playing in the water here. I just came out of the mountains and thought about washing my face. Who knows, I heard you scream a few times. I thought you were in danger. Zhou Liufei, who turned his back, rubbed his hands unnaturally.
Li Xiaonuan looked at the shy Zhou Liufei funny, squatted down and quickly put on his shoes and socks, and put down his trousers. After finishing up, he said, "Brother Liu Fei, you always go into the mountains to hunt alone, aren't you afraid of danger?" ”
Li Xiaonuan said as she spared Zhou Liufei and walked to the shore of the pool. When passing by his side, Li Xiaonuan clearly felt the stiffness of his whole body for a moment. (To be continued.) )
