Volume 1 Returning to the Hometown after Completion of Service Chapter 11, Official Restlessness
As the car drove northward, it was gradually less densely populated than near Chang'an, and there were fewer pedestrians.
On the evening of the third day, I walked to a canyon, although this is an official road, but it is not as flat and open as the flat, and only two horses can be allowed to pass in parallel, and at this time, there is no one left and right, and there are no people around, and Changsheng, who has never been out of the palace, is a little inexplicably flustered.
Wang Chunfa comforted her and said that she would arrive at the inn in front of her before it got dark, and the world had been peaceful for many years, and there were no bandits, so Changsheng put his mind at ease, and opened the curtain all the way to look at the scenery under the sunset.
There are no tall chimneys, no telephone poles, no moving cars, no lights on the mountains on both sides, and no primitive scenery that has been polluted and destroyed by modern civilization.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and the uncle shouted in a visibly panicked voice: "What man? What do you want to do? If it is peaceful today, and the government is very strict, why do you block the road in a dignified manner? ”
Changsheng's heart was suddenly shocked, although there were no bandits rampant in the peaceful and prosperous times, but no matter how strict the legal system was, it was impossible to avoid one or two bad people occasionally. She is a woman, it doesn't matter if she loses her money, but she must not be harmed.
"Uncle Wang is well, Gao has no malice, he just wants to be a relative with you."
Although the tone is kind, it sounds like a discussion, but in fact it has a meaning that cannot be refused. His surname is Gao? Do you know that your uncle's surname is Wang? Changsheng quickly guessed who it was, and at the same time relieved himself with anger, only the other party was not a bandit without humanity, everything was negotiable.
Wang Chunfa's tone was also relaxed: "Who are you?" I don't know you either, how did I become a relative? ”
The other party laughed softly: "If I marry your niece, won't we become relatives?" ”
Listening to the whip swinging, it should be that the uncle was angry, Changsheng listened to this frivolous language, couldn't help but open the curtain, gasped, and really stood in front of Gao Shouren, holding the whip in his hand, his face seemed to be colorful, followed by four strong guys
How could this person keep an eye on her, and he actually followed her all the way from Chang'an, and tried his best to pick such a suitable place and the right time to do it.
But it's better than meeting a real bandit. Unable to avoid and escape, Changsheng got out of the car and looked at him coldly: "Captain Gao is a good student to lift the little girl, it took so much effort, I don't know what to learn?" ”
Gao Shouren looked at Changsheng's face in the sunset more brightly, his long eyebrows were raised, his eyes were extremely bright because of anger, his expression suddenly softened, he looked at it for a while, put down the whip, and bowed his hand with a chuckle: "Miss Zhou is so good at life, she can actually set up such a game in the capital, if it weren't for the person who went to the palace gate to pretend to be your father's Beijing dialect is too good, Gao almost believed it." ”
The plan was exposed, Changsheng's face turned red, Wang Chunfa was stunned when he saw that the two knew each other, and then saw that there was a look of shame and anger in Changsheng's expression, and he lowered his face and said, "What matchmaker?" Pay attention to what you say, my niece will get married when she goes back! ”
Gao Shouren bowed to him and ignored him, and said straight to Changsheng: "Gao admires the girl's mind and appearance, sincerely asks to marry, there are elders here to testify, the girl does not have to return to her hometown, go back to Beijing with Gao, I will immediately send someone to go home with your uncle to hire, the famous media is marrying you as a wife, although Gao is a rough person, and there are no parents Gao Tang, but in Beijing for many years, there are some thin assets and connections, and the girl will never suffer." ”
Maybe he was sincere, but with no one in his eyes and no one in his eyes, Changsheng encountered it for the first time, and said angrily: "You intercepted a woman halfway, like a bandit, and spread it out to make me famous?" You don't even know how to respect me, what kind of sincerity do you say? Even if you are sincere, and I am willing to marry, this is not a troubled time, and you are still forced to marry? ”
Gao Shouren was not only not angry, but also full of admiration, and still hugged his fists and said: "Although Gao is a little reckless, he is indeed sincere. I'm just over thirty, I don't like the ignorant little girl, and I don't want to marry ****, this time among the palace maids who were released from the palace, only the girl is very much in line with me, and I deeply admire the girl's mind, so I am bent on marrying. And for the girl, who has lived in a prosperous place in the palace for many years, how can she endure the desolation and backwardness of the land near Mobei after returning to her hometown? ”
Changsheng thought about it, it was getting late and late, and no one was passing by, so it was better not to fall out with him, so everyone should take care of their face and avoid this for a while.
She solemnly blessed her body, tried her best to be calm, and said in a calm tone: "Changsheng, thank you Captain Gao for your kindness." But Changsheng is an unblessed person, since entering the palace, he wants to return to his hometown every day, although his hometown is desolate and backward, Changsheng has been used to it since he was a child, and he just wants to stay by his parents and relatives to live, and he is not greedy for the prosperity of Beijing. And my uncle said that my mother is seriously ill, I haven't been back to my hometown for eight years, and I really miss home, please understand my feelings. ”
Gao Shouren gasped, he really hadn't met such a woman who didn't eat oil and salt. He has always disliked innocent, weak and ignorant girls, and the beauty of this Zhou Changsheng is secondary, but his clever mind and calm bearing are the most attractive to him.
In his opinion, an old girl who is no longer young, and she is not a stunning beauty, she doesn't have to go back to the poor countryside, and it is a good thing to be able to marry him in Beijing who has a decent errand and a rich fortune, especially when he chased so far to express his sincerity, she actually refused without knowing why.
Since he heard that the palace maid was going to be released from the palace two years in advance, he was bent on picking a lovely end to the widower's life, so he instructed his subordinates to pay attention, and when he saw the outstanding one, he was also secretly observing.
Soon he noticed Changsheng, first attracted by her appearance and the ease and pleasure when she left the palace, and liked it a little, so he confidently asked Zhu Matchmaker to say goodbye, who knew that Zhu Matchmaker was scolded miserably, I really didn't expect this woman to be so sharp-tongued.
That's not all, she actually dared to run to the gate of the palace to ask for the silver given to the guards, and also designed a fake appearance of asking someone to pretend to be her father to pick her up to deceive him, if it was just a little heartfelt at first, then it became a lonely, this woman is too much to his liking.
He followed him all the way, and he found that the more he interacted with, the more he liked her, and he had to get her.
But once again, she was rejected neither softly nor hard, and Gao Shouren, who was full of confidence, suddenly became unconfident, how proud is this woman?
Changsheng still looked at him coldly, what he said was indeed good. For a woman of her age who left the palace, it is a good destination to be able to marry someone like Gao Shouren, the other party has a good errand, is not very old, is strong and healthy, and does not need to be a stepmother or serve Aunt Weng.
But she is a different person from others, she doesn't know him very well, and the lover of her heart is not such a rough man, if she is not very relieved and devoted, how can she live a life?
