Fanwai Liu Jingtao

In the nineteenth year of Taichang, at the beginning of March, the pearl of Rongjun Wangfu was married. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Resting in Dawei, Lin Hui Weng only got married in the past ten years, which is a little late, but it is not unusual.

What is strange is that the lord of Linhui Weng married not a few talented people from a family who had a high reputation before, but a grand duke who came from overseas with King Nanping in the seventeenth year of Taichang.

This duke is half a head taller than the average size of a man in Da Wei, his hair is light brown, and his eyes are blue.

The Grand Duke's name is Cory, and he met Lord Lin Hui Weng at the palace banquet, and the two accidentally bumped into each other.

Corey fell in love with Lord Linhui at first sight.

As a native of the sea, Corey is not like the Great Wei people, and there are restrictions on the interaction between men and women. He not only had a good impression of Liu Jingtao, but then launched an unrestrained and romantic passionate pursuit of her.

Corey's pursuit was vigorous from the start.

At first, he inquired about the identity and residence of Lord Linhui, and every morning he would set out from the embassy to pick a bouquet of the freshest flowers and wait in front of the palace of Rongjun.

Liu Jingtao naturally didn't dare to deal with him.

But even if he can't wait for the beautiful woman, Corey is not discouraged, and still appears regularly every day, even if it is windy and rainy, there is no way to make him retreat.

In just a few days, his behavior like a disciple became the talk of the people.

Liu Tong was annoyed and secretly teased him a few times, but because there was no translator around him, the two talked to each other, and they couldn't communicate at all.

Liu Tong was hindered by the fact that he was a foreigner, and he heard King Nanping say that Corey's identity was in his country, which was equivalent to the son of the emperor, and he was very noble, so Liu Tong could not drive him away directly.

Corey's pursuit was vigorous, and after laying flowers on the day, he began to recite poems in front of the palace of Rongjun.

Of course, he spoke the language of their country, and none of the people understood it.

But the charm of poetry lies in the fact that even if you don't understand it, the beauty of the rhyme at the end, the passion of the inducement and frustration, can always make people feel something.

Liu Jingtao also became curious about Corey because of this.

At this time, Liu Jingtao's second brother Liu Jingling came back.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, and the relationship between brother and sister is not rusty. Mr. Liu Jingling's name has become famous all over the world, and now that he is back, there are more people who beg the palace of Shangrong County to plead for calligraphy and painting. The palace of Rongjun is full of people every day.

Liu Jingling is fun, knowing that there are many people from other seas in Beijing, where can they stay in the house? But because he left home for six years, his father and mother felt that they should teach him a lesson, so they detained him in the house and easily forbade him to go out, intending to restrain his temperament.

Liu Jingling set his eyes on Corey, who would come every day to send flowers to his sister and recite love poems.

The friendship of young people is always inexplicably acquainted. Liu Jingling observed Corey for two days, and on the third day, he got up and talked to him for a long time, and the next day the two brothers wandered around together.

Liu Jingtao's eyes were hot, and he finally waited for Liu Jingling to come back, so he asked him why he could communicate with Corey.

Liu Jingling said strangely: "Isn't the body also a language?" Aren't facial expressions also a reflection of one's emotions? ”

Liu Jingling had a foreign buddy, and when the relationship between the two was better, he brought his own painting tools and invited Corey to go to the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing to shoot and paint.

Corey happily showed up for the appointment.

Liu Jingling's paintings became wild and unbridled in their own right, and they were given to Corey after they were finished. After appreciating it, Corey said that he was also willing to make a painting back for Liu Jingling.

Liu Jingling was very surprised, and he was also very curious about the paintings made by outsiders.

Originally, he thought that Corey was going to shoot outside, but the interpreter told him that Corey was going to paint a portrait of him.

Liu Jingling sat down half expectantly and half curiously, maintained the same position, and sat for a total of two hours before he got Corey's permission to get up and move.

Liu Jingling couldn't wait to walk behind Corey and look at his painting.

Compared with the tools of ink painting, Corey's painting tools are much harder, but the paintings he makes are much more exquisite. Although the majestic artistic conception of ink painting is missing, Corey's painting has a high degree of restoration, and although the painting is not yet completed, it is simply a copy of his appearance from the prototype.

Liu Jingling was stunned.

He is good at freehand, not good at fine brushwork. But even in the form of fine brushwork, he had never seen such a delicate painting as Cory's, this portrait ...... If it can be passed on to future generations, his appearance can be known to future generations!

After Cory finished painting, he smiled and said to Liu Jingling that he had to wait for the paint to dry out, and he couldn't give it to him yet.

Liu Jingling nodded again and again, he already regarded Corey as a confidant, and wanted Corey to paint a picture for his father and mother at home, bribing them not to care about his own too wide idea, he rolled his eyes and warmly invited Corey to Rongjun Wangfu as a guest.

Corey, of course, readily agreed.

Knowing that the bold foreigner was coming to his home as a guest, Liu Jingtao felt very panicked. Chang Runzhi was afraid that his daughter would be shy, so he didn't let her come out to meet the guests.

But since Corey has entered his sweetheart's house, where is there any reason to leave without seeing his sweetheart?

After looking around and not seeing a beautiful woman, Corey expressed his frustration very bluntly.

"Ling, where's your sister? I miss her so much, I love to see her. ”

Corey pressed his hands to his heart and said affectionately: "She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, oh my God, I fell in love with her at first sight, she is a blooming red rose, waiting for me to grab it, I will take care of her forever, so that she will never wither." ”

Liu Jingling scratched his head in distress while listening to the translator's words: "Corey, my sister is not from the sea, our girls in Dawei are more reserved, you are like this...... It's going to scare her. ”

Corey said seriously, "I want to marry her." ”

"Then you should be serious about proposing." Liu Jingling replied to him: "Da Wei believes in the orders of his parents, and the words of the matchmaker. Parents should be in charge of their children's affairs. ”

"Really?" Liu Jingling was originally perfunctory, but Big Berkori listened to this, and slammed his right hand into a fist on the palm of his left hand: "I understand!" ”

Corey had a meal at the Rongjun Palace, promised to make a painting for the Rongjun King and the princess, and left in a hurry.

The next day, Liu Jingling brought back the portrait of him and proudly showed it to his family.

"Look, it's me! How expressive! "The portrait is as tall as Liu Jingling's, but only the position above his chest is depicted, and his ruffian appearance who seems to be smiling is very similar to his smile now.

Chang Runzhi sighed in his heart, this is oil painting......

Liu Tong was originally not interested in asking Corey to paint them, but when he saw his son's painting, he was very much looking forward to it.

Liu Jingtao is also very hot-eyed, because Corey's "skill" makes her have a better impression of Corey.

Girls, they always like talented people, and she has never seen this kind of painting, how good it would be if she could have such a portrait, Liu Jingtao thought.

I heard the second brother say that this can only be painted by sitting and maintaining a posture all the time, and the person who paints is the prodigal people from the sea......

Liu Jingtao hesitated.

At the same time, she found that Corey, who would come to routine report every morning, and Cory, who delivered flowers and poems, did not come today.

The second day still didn't come.

The third day still did not come.

Liu Jingtao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but at the same time, he felt a little lost and empty.

It's a strange taste. She thought.

Before she could finish her struggle, on the fourth day, Corey came to the door.

He was followed by a dozen people from the sea, each pulling a carriage, and the carriage was full of strange things.

Corey was at the front, spirited and smiling.

When he arrived at the Rongjun Palace, he picked up a large bouquet in his hand and stood at the door, but he didn't go in.

The porter didn't understand, so he hurriedly notified the master, and Liu Tong and Chang Runzhi hurried over.

Corey smiled when he saw someone coming.

Liu Jingling was surprised: "Corey, what are you doing here?" ”

"Where's your sister?" Corey asked, "I want to see her." ”

When Chang Runzhi saw his battle, he suddenly understood in his heart, pulled Liu Tong's hand and said, "This kid may be proposing." ”

"Marriage proposal?!" Liu Tong suddenly became angry: "I'll borrow their guts!" ”

Chang Runzhi was amused in his heart, and at this time, Liu Jingtao heard the wind and rushed over curiously.

"Why is Tao Tao here, here-"

Before Liu Tong finished his words to let his daughter go back, he heard the porter gasp.

He saw that the stinky boy was kneeling on one knee in front of them!

A man dressed as a knight behind Corey spoke in a strange Dawei dialect and said, "Miss Liu, please stand in front." ”

This battle made Liu Jingtao in a dilemma, and in just a while, many dignitaries and dignitaries had gathered around, along with their wives and children, all quietly came over to watch the excitement.

Liu Jingtao blushed, Liu Tong wanted to pull her, but Chang Runzhi stopped: "What are you doing!" Isn't it good that someone likes our daughter? Let the people around take a look, our Tao Tao is not worried about getting married, and there are many people who like her! ”

I didn't hear the squeak of my parents, and the second brother was also quietly coaxing her to take a few steps forward, Liu Jingtao could only move forward slowly, and it was still two steps away from Corey.

Corey didn't ask for more, he held the flower towards Liu Jingtao and began to speak.

The translator dutifully translates a sentence after Corey says a sentence.

"Dear Miss Liu Jingtao, from the first time I saw you, I was deeply infatuated with you. I've seen a lot of girls, intellectual and charming, sexy, pure and lovely, but after seeing you, I can't remember the faces of those girls. ”

"You are like the silver moonlight sprinkled in the twilight when the night falls, and the mystery makes me unable not to be obsessed."

"Between you and me, there is the help of Eros, so that I have come here thousands of miles away to finally meet you."

"My soul and my body, and all that I have, I want you to take it. There is nothing in me that you have not conquered. ”

"I'm obsessed with you, I'm in love with you."

"Yes, I love you."

"I'm Corey Stiaf, Grand Duke from the Crowe Empire. Miss Liu Jingtao, I am here today to solemnly propose to you. ”

"I ask you to be my wife, to be my companion in life and my only love, and I will cherish our friendship, love, now and in the future, and forever. I will trust you, I will respect you, and I will laugh and cry with you. I will be loyal to you, whether you are rich or poor, healthy or sick, whether it will be good or bad, difficult or happy, I will be with you through it. No matter what kind of life you are ready for, I will always be here to watch. I will entrust my life to you, the one you love will become the one I love, where you die, I will also be buried there with you, no matter what happens, I will be by your side, life and death, never abandon. ”

"Will you marry me?"

Corey's confession shocked everyone present.

Chang Runzhi burst into tears when he heard this, Liu Tong was stunned, reached out to hold his wife's hand, and said awkwardly: "This kid is really good at sweet words......

Liu Jingtao was directly stunned.

"Would you like to?"

Corey blinked, seeing that his sweetheart didn't react, he asked again, and then said, "What Ling told me, the custom of Great Wei, to propose marriage." I'm proposing now. ”

The translator turned sideways and showed Liu Jingtao Corey's "dowry gift".

"These are all goods brought by the Grand Duke to Dawei, and they are sold at extremely high prices." The translator straightened his chest, as if the outsiders had taken a fancy to the girl of Da Wei, and proposed with a very heavy dowry as if he was honored: "Lord Weng, just these dowries, I'm afraid they are worth more than 100,000 taels." ”

Liu Jingtao's face was crimson, his eyes were rolling, he just didn't dare to look at Corey, and he hesitated for a while before he said, "I, I don't even know you yet...... How can I marry you? ”

This is too strange to say, Dawei women get married, and there are also people who have never met their future husbands before getting married. Besides, why didn't she know Corey?

Everyone knew that Liu Jingtao was shy, and the people around him immediately laughed kindly.

Liu Jingtao stomped his feet in a hurry, hid his face and ran back to the house.

Liu Tong snorted heavily, looked at Liu Jingling and said, "Isn't this your friend?" You've cleaned up this mess for me! ”

Liu Tong shook his sleeves and turned around, pulled Chang Runzhi, and saw that her eyes were still red, and she was very upset.

I think that when he was young, he didn't say similar sweet words, but now that he thinks about it, he is really not as high as the stinky boy, and he actually moved Runzhidu, and that kid really dared to say hey......

In such a comparison, it seems that his love for Runzhi is not so deep.

Damn it!

Liu Tong dragged Chang Runzhi back to reminisce about the past, but Corey's proposal failed to get a response from Liu Jingtao, and he hung his head in frustration, even the flowers wilted.

Liu Jingling sighed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dude, get up, chase girls, you still have to be a little patient." Don't worry, let's take our time, anyway, my sister isn't married yet, is she? ”

Corey asked aggrievedly, "Why is your sister reluctant to talk to me more?" ”

"Probably because...... She can't understand you, and you can't understand her, right? There's a translator in between, what's going on? ”

Translation: Can I be blamed for this?

"I see...... Cory was dull for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Then I'll try to learn Da Wei dialect!" I must be able to communicate with Miss Liu Jingtao smoothly without anyone helping to translate. In this way, she will feel my charm, and she will be able to fall in love with me as much as I am in love with her. ”

Liu Jingling: "...... Good luck. ”

As for whether Corey succeeded?

Isn't that obvious. (To be continued.) )
