Chapter 16: Escape from Marriage
The next day, at the beginning of the month, they received a reply from Song Yuan, and the two discussed some things in the letter.
Out of Shao'an City, go north to the boundary of Chengzhou is Caozhou, and Caozhou will go east to Anyang.
Song Yuan's letter stated that there are two roads from Shao'an to Anyang, out of Shao'an City to take Qingyang Road, to Yanbo Station there is a fork in the road, both roads can go to Anyang. If it is discovered, it will be difficult to chase it.
Inevitably, it was discovered that they were involved with the Hibiscus class, and at the beginning of the month, it was decided that the Hibiscus class would go to Yanbo Station first and wait for them to go north together.
After two days, the weather became hotter and hotter.
Since she was banned at the beginning of the month, she has been very stable, and Lu Mingyuan has been a little more lenient and allowed her to go out of the room, but she still can't leave the Lu family until she gets married.
Ying Zhangyuan and his classmates also came a few times, but they were still blocked back.
Fauber also secretly asked someone to pawn the object and prepared the coil. Two days later, at the beginning of the month, a letter was sent to Fu Bo to send the carriage to Qingyuan's old house.
Shao'an City is a day's drive from Yanbo Station, but it only takes half a day to walk from Qingyuan County. It's just that I don't know how to persuade Lu Mingyuan to agree to her to Qingyuan County at the beginning of the month.
A little later, at the beginning of the month after dinner, he went to the account office to find Lu Mingyuan.
"Finally figured it out?" Lu Mingyuan was surprised but still a little happy.
"Yes." At the beginning of the month, he didn't see anything on his face, just nodded silently.
Lu Mingyuan said again: "It's good to figure it out." You must know that I am doing this for your good, until you get married, you still can't go out of the Lu family, and in two days the people from the clothing shop will come to measure your wedding dress. β
At the beginning of the month, he nodded yes again, and then paused a little and said, "Uncle, before I get married, I want to go back to the old house." β
Lu Mingyuan's expression suddenly froze, "What are you doing when you go back to the old mansion?" β
"Tell my father and mother about the worship, and by the way, pack up some old things that will be brought to the Li family at that time."
Glancing at her, Lu Mingyuan was still a little hesitant.
"If my uncle doesn't worry about me, let Yin Yin or my aunt accompany me." At the beginning of the month, he spoke again, and his tone was a little unhappy.
Lu Mingyuan smiled, "How can it be, it is common sense to want to worship your parents before getting married, so why don't you worry." "Since he promised to marry into the Li family at the beginning of the month, it is not good for him to turn his face with her now, so as not to cause trouble in the future." But if you go alone, I'm still a little worried, tomorrow I'll arrange for the next person and Yin Yin to go with you, and there will be a companion to pass the time on the road. β
"Yes, good. Then I'll go back to my room and rest. At the beginning of the month, she lowered her head and had no expression, she knew that Lu Mingyuan would not relax her vigilance so lightly, but as long as she could get out of the Lu family, it would be much more convenient to escape later.
When she returned to the room, she opened the makeup box again, and there were a few makeup hairpins and the jade pendant in it, and looked at it again, saying that it was impossible not to be nervous. Growing so big, the farthest is Shao'an Qingyuan, and this time as soon as you go out, you will go to Anyang, which is thousands of miles away.
What will happen later, no one knows, with anxiety and expectations, and just like that, another night passed.
The next day, Lu Mingyuan arranged for two subordinates and Yin Yin to go to Qingyuan County with her. Yin Yin, who was usually noisy along the way, was depressed when she saw the beginning of the month, and she didn't dare to speak, so she went all the way to the old mansion quietly.
The old mansion of the Xu family is a big mansion with three entrances. The Xu family is also a big family in the local area, but since the grandfather's generation, the heirs have become thinner and thinner, and at the beginning of the month, only one daughter was left for her.
Since moving to Shao'an City, the old mansion has left an old woman to guard the house. Seeing the beginning of the month, the old woman was also a little surprised, and after knowing it, she pointed to the back hall and said: "The tablets of the old lady are all invited back, with the ancestors." β
The moon nodded and headed for the back hall.
Yin Yin saw that she was going to worship her ancestors, and she didn't go with her, thinking that she hadn't returned to the old house for a long time, so she ran out of the hut where she lived back then to play.
At the beginning of the month, I went all the way to the back hall, and the sun was covered all year round, which made this place a little gloomy. When I entered, I saw dozens of tablets on the altar, and the portraits of the ancestors of the Xu family hung directly above. On the offering table in front of the offering table are a variety of objects such as lanterns and incense candles, and below that is a futon.
At the beginning of the month, the incense was lit, and then he knelt on the futon and said solemnly: "Father, mother, the beginning of the month is leaving today, I don't know when I can come back to see you, may you have a spirit in the sky to help me be safe." After saying that, he bowed again before getting up.
After thinking for a moment in the back hall, he went to the boudoir again at the beginning of the month. When I entered the house, a layer of dust had accumulated because it was uninhabited, and everything inside had been emptied, even a few books remained on the shelves. At the beginning of the month, I dusted off the dust on the books, and "this" was a "Tao Sutra" and a few handwritten books by Xu's father.
Remembering that before Xu's father passed away, she was obsessed with reading strategy, although it was not a woman's book, but Xu Yu saw that she liked to read it, so she gave her a few volumes of strategy, and then before she had time to read a few pages, he died, and during that time she was very flustered, busy with funerals and filial piety, and the book was also left behind.
"Miss." There was a soft cry outside the house, and the moon came back to his senses, it was Xiao Xiao.
Fauber's carriage stopped at the back door of the old house, and it was supposed to take advantage of people's inattention, and at the beginning of the month, he detoured from the boudoir to the back door of the old house and then got in the car and left.
Seeing that the moon hadn't arrived at the back door for a long time, Xiao Xiao was probably a little anxious, so he ran in. At the beginning of the month, he picked up the book, went out of the door, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Xiao standing under the flower stand, looking around left and right, and hugged happily when he saw the beginning of the month, "But come out, let's go quickly, my father and mother are already waiting at the back door." β
The moon nodded, looked around, and walked along the trail with Xiaoxiao. Seeing that he was about to reach the back door, he suddenly heard an exclamation from behind him
"Sister?"
At the beginning of the month, I was stunned, and when I looked back, it was Yinyin.
I saw that Yin Yin was still holding a prime-blooming purple sun in her hand, standing there looking at the beginning of the moon with a confused face, and then turned her gaze to Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao? Why are you here? β
The two froze for a moment and did not respond.
Yin Yin suddenly reacted, her face shocked, "Sister, you want to"
"Yin Yin, I really can't marry Li Maoran." At the beginning of the month, he lowered his eyes, "My father has already made a marriage contract for me, I want to find him"
"Then my sister can talk to her father, father."
"I've already said it, but he insists that I marry the Li family." At the beginning of the month, I was in a hurry.
Yin Yin suffocated.
"Sister, I'm sorry for not being able to tell you in advance," Yue Yue was extremely apologetic.
Since she decided to run away from the marriage, few people know about this matter, and she has hesitated to sue SΓΉ Yinyin, after all, Yinyin treats her like a sister, so she has regrets about saying goodbye to both of them. But Yinyin is her uncle's daughter, and she acts a little recklessly, she is afraid of accidents.
"Sister is going, I'm afraid that my sisters may not see each other again in the future," Yin Yin said lightly with low eyes.
At the beginning of the month, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he stopped talking.
After a short silence, Yin Yin handed the hydrangea in her hand to the beginning of the month, "Sister let's go, I know that my daughter's family has a lifelong marriage relationship, and since my sister doesn't want to marry into the Li family, she shouldn't force it." β
"It's just that this is in a hurry, Yin Yin has nothing to give her sister as a souvenir, this Ziyang is given to my sister, although the flowers are easy to wither, but every time the flowers bloom in the future, my sister can read Yin Yin." As she spoke, Yin Yin suddenly burst into tears.
"Yin Yin" was slightly stunned when she heard the words at the beginning of the month, took the flower, paused a little and handed a copy of the "Tao Sutra" in her hand to Yin Yin, and said: "You act recklessly, it is easy to get into trouble with your uncle, I will no longer be by my side in the future, no one will help you, you take this book, if you are upset, copy a few chapters." β
Yin Yin nodded and took the book.
"I have a letter in my room, and after I leave, hand over the letter to Li Maoran, and he will not embarrass you." The beginning of the month whispered again.
Yin Yin wiped her tears, "I know, sister, go quickly." After a while, let others see it, and then you can't leave. β
The moon looked at her again, nodded, and then turned to leave with Xiao Xiao.
