Chapter 1 Escape from Marriage

Next Chapter

"Come and see, come and see." Someone in the crowd shouted.

"I heard that this Duke of Zhou is going to marry again......"

I saw that on the bustling streets of Yangzhou, a team of relatives slowly walked to greet relatives. The procession to greet the relatives was very magnificent, and the attendants were all dressed in brand-new vermilion robes, looking like a long vermilion dragon.

The crowd boiled and crowded to watch; Although it was crowded, due to the wealth and power of the Zhou family, they also hid far away on the side of the street, like avoiding something. A long, empty passage formed in the middle of the street, and the procession of greeting relatives drove slowly.

In the vermilion sedan chair, the bride dressed in a bright red Luo skirt and covered with red satin was silently shedding tears. The bride's name is Qing'er. Qing'er's hands were tightly tied, and she was forced to put on a bridal outfit, and her hands were tied into a sedan chair.

Qing'er thought of her endless sorrow and silently shed tears. No way! I don't want my fate to be manipulated by someone else, I want to run away. I must escape. What to do, what to do? Suddenly, Qing'er remembered the half piece of porcelain that the nurse secretly hid in her sleeve last night when no one was paying attention, and the nurse told her with tears in her eyes: Miss, that's all I can help you, forgive the nurse for her powerlessness. You hide this in case you need it. Thinking of this, Qing'er slowly rubbed a few times on the side of the sedan chair, the porcelain piece slowly slipped from the sleeve and fell into her hand, she took out the porcelain piece and slowly cut the rope that tied herself.

Finally, the rope that bound Qing'er's hand was cut. Because of the long time she had been tied up, and the red marks on her wrists were bruised, she couldn't care about them. Qing'er faintly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, looking through the crack to see the opportunity to escape, which is the familiar intersection? Where is the safest direction to escape? If you escape, then where do you flee after turning a corner? She pondered, scrutinized.

Finally made up your mind, okay! That's it!

"Catch the bride, the bride has escaped," the maids on both sides of the sedan chair shouted desperately.

The attendants in front heard the shouts and saw the bride running towards the crowd, and they all desperately chased after her.

Qing'er ran out of the crowd, turned the corner, headed for another road, ran away like crazy, and was caught back, she herself knew better than anyone else. Her desperate speed was several times faster than usual.

In order to recover their lives, the bride ran away, how did they explain, being beaten was indispensable, and maybe they might be kicked out of the Zhou Mansion. After all, most of the attendants are young and old, and they are desperately chasing after them.

Seeing that they are catching up faster and faster. Qing'er became more hurried, no, it is not a way to run like this, after all, she is a daughter, how can she run past the hundreds of big men chasing after her, only to gamble. Qing'er saw a carriage in front of her, so she hurriedly got into it and climbed under the seat. The male attendants thought she had been running along the road and kept chasing after her. Listening to their hurried footsteps, Qing'er's heart jumped extremely fast, hiding underground and shivering.

Suddenly, the sedan chair was lifted, and Qing'er felt that someone had gotten into the carriage. I can only resign myself to fate. The people who came in sat in their seats, and the car drove slowly. Her heart softened a little! The heart of fear has also been put down a little!

The carriage drove slowly. It's been about an hour. Qing'er who is running away is unforgettable for every bit of time. Now, finally, her heart was completely soothed.

"Come out! Get out! ”

With a majestic reprimand, Qing'er was pulled out fiercely.

Qing'er was lying under the carriage, and the moment she was pulled up, she lowered her hijab covering her face and slid down gently.

Qing'er looked at the person in front of her who was holding her fiercely, he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a good appearance, a face like a crown of jade, and eyes as breathtaking as ice tan.

He looked at the woman in front of him, about fifteen or sixteen years old, although he was a little frightened, but she was still beautiful, her eyes were as clear as a clear spring, taking advantage of today's bridal makeup, it was a different kind of surprise. Looking at the flower-like woman in front of him, his heart instantly warmed.

They watched each other in silence.

He asked coldly, "You are the bride who ran away, right?" ”

Qing'er replied: "Yes!" ”

He still asked indifferently: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to escape?" His hands were still holding Qing'er tightly.

"If you can't escape, you have to escape!" Qing'er said calmly.

His cold gaze looked at the woman in front of him fiercely, sitting in front of this woman, for some reason, his heart was a little less vigilant, a little more defensive, and a little more calm. The hands he was holding at Qing'er's collar slowly loosened.

He was dressed in a scarlet robe, with a black belt inlaid with golden silk threads, and a crystal clear jade pendant hung down on the edge of the robe.

He has lived in the palace since he was a child, so he was exposed to power tricks and conspiracy coups too early; made him mature prematurely and perceive the rights and wrongs of the world prematurely. He became more alert, more calm, and determined. Like a shrewd falcon, he is always aware of the surroundings so that he can take thoughtful measures in advance.

Qing'er looked at her bridal outfit, recalled today's scenes, thought of the past clouds, and where the future would go, she forgot about the people around her, and was sadly immersed in endless pain.

The carriage drove slowly. I don't know how long it took, Qing'er came back to her senses from her daze. "Thank you benefactor, please ask the benefactor's name, if there is a chance, Qing'er will repay him in the future!"

He looked at Qing'er with cold eyes, and said half-loudly, "Your name is Qing'er?" ”

Qing'er said: "Yes, there is a single name, my name is Ji Qing." ”

He said coldly: "You sue me for your name, are you not afraid that I will betray you?" Received the bounty alone, and let them take you back to be a bride. ”

Qing'er said calmly: "If it was for a little reward, Childe could have done that just now, but Childe didn't, presumably Childe must also be a loving and righteous person, how can you disdain to be in the company of a ruthless villain." ”

He looked at the woman named Qing'er in front of him, although he didn't look like a bad person with a mind, but he had a hard experience of the injustice in the world since he was a child, and his relatives and enemies were just a thought. Indifferent, he even has to guard against the closest people, not to mention the graceful woman he met by chance in front of him. So, he decided to tell a lie.

"My name is ...... Plum...... Bless. Actually, his real name is Li Chun. Li Chun spoke very slowly, his eyes staring straight at Qing'er, and he figured out what guò eyes were thinking about looking at a person.

Qing'er turned her face and just met Li Chun's bright eyes, his gaze was cold and affectionate.

It's already far away from Yangzhou, Qing'er feels that she is safe, and Zhou Gong's people shouldn't chase here.

"Thank you, I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?" Li Chun's voice was very cold, but his eyes were warm.

Qing'er thought about it for a while, and finally made up her mind, after all, where else could she go besides there.

"I went to Chang'an to join my relatives, I have an uncle in Chang'an. I just wanted to go to him. ”

Li Chun looked at him quietly, "Oh? Changan? There's a caravan going to Chang'an ahead, and I can give you a ride! I've got a package here, and there's a woman's dress for you to wear, and besides, you can't run around in this bridal dress. His eyes were still so cold, and he took out a package from the side and handed it to Qing'er.

Looking at the indifferent, but thoughtful man in front of her, Qing'er felt that she could escape safely, he had already helped her, and it was really a bit inappropriate to accept the favor again.

"We have never lived in life, this is not appropriate, I can ......"

Li Chun looked at the woman in front of her, she was also a person who knew how to be polite, it seemed that she was not going to accept her extra help.

"I need you to do me a favor, because I have a bit of a delay here and can't go back in time, I want you to help me bring something to someone." After speaking, Li Chun pulled out a jade wrench in his hand and put it in Qing'er's hand. "Give it to the shopkeeper of the ancient pawnshop on Changle Street in Chang'an, he will understand when he sees this jade wrench."

After a while, the carriage stopped in front.

Li Chun quietly looked at Qing'er in front of him, his eyes cold and warm. He admired this kind of woman who had the courage to escape marriage.

"There is a post station in front, and there is a caravan five hundred meters west of the post station."

Qing'er picked up the package, put away the jade wrench, and was about to get out of the car, when she suddenly felt that her hand was tightly grasped, and with a very violent force, Qing'er fell softly, just in Li Chun's arms.

Qing'er looked at Li Chun angrily, feeling that he was very domineering and rude, and even the previous gratitude to him was gone, and she was very angry and angry.

Li Chun looked at the angry appearance of Qing'er with a blue face, and felt very interesting.

"Don't forget!" Li Chun said coldly.

Qing'er looked at the cold-faced overlord in front of him angrily, feeling that he was taking advantage of others.

"Li Chun, you overlord, why do you have to let other people's gratitude to you turn into anger and complaining?"

Li Chun looked at Qing'er indifferently, and squeezed out a wicked smile on his face: "This is the best!" ”

Qing'er ran away in a hurry! Stay away from this cold-faced overlord.

In a secluded place, Qing'er opened the package, "wow" is so beautiful. I saw a goose-yellow dress, gorgeous and elegant, Qing'er quickly threw away the bride's clothes, put on this gorgeous dress, felt as bright as spring, excited, with the oncoming breeze turned in circles. Wait, Qing'er seems to have found something, no, there is something else in the package, pick it up and take a look, it is a small bag, pick up the heavy one. After opening it, it turned out to be silver, haha, don't worry, I thought: This cold-faced overlord! He had forgotten it in the package. Hee-hee-hee! Use it first, and you will return it later
