263. Successfully escaped marriage

On this day, Nian Nian called Xiaorou to go to the garden to swing.

She wanted to persuade Xiaorou, she felt that the prince must have something extraordinary, otherwise with Su Junchu's character, he would not praise the prince like this in front of her. Maybe marrying the prince is not as terrifying as Xiaorou herself imagined.

"Xiao Rou ......" As soon as Nian Nian opened her mouth, Xiao Rou suddenly interrupted her and said: "Nian Nian, you must help me, I really don't want to marry the prince, I would rather be a nun." ”

"Why do you hate the prince so much?" Nian Nian asked.

"It's not that I hate the prince, I just hate the palace, if I marry in, I will stay in the palace for the rest of my life, I don't want it! Niannian, you have a lot of ideas since you were a child, you can help me find a way. Xiao Rou said, a pair of water-cutting autumn eyes with a little tears.

Nian Nian hurriedly took out a handkerchief, helped Xiaorou wipe her tears and said, "I will help you, don't cry." ”

How can it help? Nian Nian thought in her heart, it is impossible to get out of marriage, but looking at Xiaorou's appearance, she even said that she would rather be a nun than marry a prince, would she let Xiaorou escape from marriage?

Thinking of this, Nian Nian said: "Are you willing to do anything as long as you don't marry the prince now?" ”

"Uh-huh." Xiao Rou nodded desperately, her big beautiful eyes looking at Nian Nian expectantly.

"Then you will run away from the marriage first, and wait until the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the bride is gone, maybe the emperor will give the prince another princess?" Nian Nian spoke her mind.

"Running away?" Xiao Rou was a little puzzled at first, but soon understood, and her face glowed with joy: "Why didn't I think of it earlier?" Yes, my father and mother have to force me to marry, I can run away first, and come back later, Niannian, you are so smart. ”

"But...... If you run away from marriage, maybe it will have a bad impact on your reputation in the future, don't you really care? Nian Nian is still worried.

"I don't care, I just want to do what I like to do, and I will marry someone I like in the future." Xiao Rou replied crisply, and her weak little face revealed a determined look at this time.

When Nian Nian saw it, he couldn't help but admire in his heart: I didn't expect a weak woman thousands of years ago to have such a strong side.

She used to think that Xiaorou was a young lady who couldn't help but be weak and couldn't help the wind, but she really thought of Xiaorou too softly, in fact, Xiaorou was also a girl with an assertive personality.

For several days in a row, the sisters were discussing how Xiaorou could escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Of course, the silver taels must be fully prepared, so that Xiaorou will not have problems living outside.

And of course, you still have to dress up with men's makeup, and you have to make your face more disgraced, otherwise a beautiful girl like Xiaorou is too eye-catching, and it may cause unnecessary trouble.

Since coming up with a plan to escape from marriage, Xiaorou's love has obviously improved.

Su Xiangye and Mrs. Su saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts, they thought that their daughter had finally figured it out.

Yes, who can't figure it out about such a good marriage?

So the lord and the lady were also completely relieved, looking at the two girls who were inseparable from each other every day, they were extremely happy in their hearts, and they discussed that they would also set a good family affair for Nian Nian after talking and laughing.

It was another ordinary day, Prime Minister Su and Su Junchu went to the court early in the morning, and Mrs. Su was still worried about preparing a dowry for her daughter at home.

Nian Nian and Xiao Rou said to their wife that they wanted to go to the street to buy something, girls, who doesn't like to go shopping? It's just that the two children said that in order to avoid being disturbed by idlers, they would change into boys' clothes and go out.

Although Madame was a little strange, she didn't think much about it, after all, Xiaorou was about to get married, and it was understandable that she wanted to have fun now. Madame has always loved Xiaorou so much, and let them go out if she went early and returned early.

Except for Nian Nian and Xiao Rou, no one thought that on this ordinary day, a big event would happen to the Su family.

And Nian Nian and Xiao Rou never imagined that this thing they planned by themselves would change the entire fate of the two of them from now on.

Coming to the bustling street, both of them are preoccupied, and the sisters who get along day and night are separated today.

Although Nian Nian also thought about running away with Xiao Rou, Xiao Rou must let her stay.

Because she said that her parents would definitely be sad after she left, and she wanted to stay, at least a little comfort to them. And the rest of the situation also needs someone to clean up and face it.

Nian Nian explained Xiao Rou over and over again, all kinds of precautions outside, the money should be packed, and don't talk to strangers too much. For this sister who is a month older than her, she always feels like a sister of her own.

Xiao Rou's eyes were red and red, and she couldn't stop nodding.

At the agreed location, a carriage that had been booked a few days ago had already stopped there, and it would take Xiao Rou out of the capital.

The two sisters hugged tightly and shed tears and said goodbye......

Nian Nian walked around the street again and again, until it was dark, and then returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Junchu hurriedly greeted him: "Niannian, why did you come back so late, Xiaorou?" What happened to you? The face is so bad? ”

"Little Rou...... Didn't she come back? Nian Nian pretended to be puzzled according to the lines discussed with Xiaorou in advance.

"Xiaorou is not with you?" Su Junchu looked at Nian Nian with a somewhat skeptical expression.

Nian Nian thought to himself: Su Gongzi, I'm sorry, I know you're very good, but I can't be honest with you now.

She continued: "We started together, and then there were a lot of people on the street, and somehow we got separated from Xiaorou, and I looked for her for a long time but didn't find her, and I thought she came back first." ”

"Huh? Xiaorou hasn't come back, it's ......" Su Junchu was in a hurry, pulling Niannian and leaving.

Su Junchu and Nian Nian searched the street for a long time, but of course there was no result. Because at this time, Xiaorou had already left the capital.

Looking at Su Junchu's anxious appearance, Nian Nian was a little unbearable, and almost wanted to tell the truth to SΓΉ Junchu, but finally held back. She and Xiaorou had been planning a plan for a few days, how could they just give up their efforts?

When the two dragged their tired steps back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the lord and the lady already knew the whole thing, that is, the young lady was gone.

Mrs. cried at that time, after all, the lord is an important minister who has been the prime minister for many years, although he is anxious, but his face looks quite calm, while instructing his subordinates to look for it carefully, while explaining to all the family members, the disappearance of the young lady must not be spread.

Besides, Su Xiaorou left the capital in a carriage, and her heart was both nervous and fresh.

She didn't know how long she walked, but she felt tired and hungry, and then she realized that going out was not an easy task.

It seemed to be another town, and I listened to the noise outside the carriage. Su Xiaorou thought: Just come here, it must be far away from the capital. So he ordered to stop, paid the coachman two taels, and got out of the car.

Meng Niannian has repeatedly explained to her that no matter where she goes, she must first find an inn with a good environment to settle down, safety first. Anyway, she brought enough silver, and there was no problem in finding a good inn to live in for a year and a half.

Although this street is not as spacious and prosperous as the capital, it is still lively. Along the way, there are many people, all kinds of stalls are sold, and all kinds of juggling are readily available.

Su Xiaorou looked at it while walking, and felt hungry again, thinking that it was better to find a restaurant to eat first.

From time to time, little beggars would walk through the streets, and Xiao Rou would always give a little silver generously when she saw it. couldn't help but attract the sideways glances of passers-by: I can't see that this weak scholar is very generous.

Looking around, Xiaorou saw a very magnificent restaurant, with three big characters of "VIP Building" written on it. Xiao Rou was overjoyed and hurriedly walked in.

A junior came over and asked, "How many sons are there?" ”

"Ahem......" Su Xiaorou cleared her throat and tried to make her voice thicker: "I'm alone." ”

"Childe, please." Xiao Er took Su Xiaorou to a table and sat down, and then asked, "May I ask what Childe wants?" ”

Xiao Rou said, "Bring me something delicious." ”

"There are a lot of delicious things in this store, please tell Gongziming." Xiao Er said.

"This ......" Xiaorou thought for a while, she really didn't know how to order food in a restaurant, and she used to serve it at home with whatever she wanted to eat.

As soon as she raised her eyes and saw that the table opposite was full of sumptuous dishes, it looked delicious, Xiao Rou pointed her finger: "Just like them." ”

Xiao Er looked at Su Xiaorou, a little surprised, but still said, "Childe, wait a minute." ”

After a while, chickens, ducks, fish, and shrimp were brought up one by one, and a table full of them was placed in front of Su Xiaorou.

Although Xiao Rou tasted everything, she soon felt full.

Her appetite has always been very small, and she used to laugh at her for being hungry and full quickly. She felt like she couldn't eat anymore, but to outsiders, her table looked like it hadn't been touched.

Su Xiaorou put down her chopsticks, and regardless of the people around her, she looked at her a little strangely, and called the shopkeeper over and said, "Please settle the account." ”

"Childe, a total of eighty-one taels of silver." Xiao Er said politely.

Su Xiaorou nodded, and went to the baggage to dig out the silver.

Odd? What about the bag that holds the money?

Su Xiaorou searched for a long time in the baggage, but still didn't see her money bag, was it lost just now? Or did you just take it away when you paid the little beggar?

Thinking like this, Su Xiaorou said to the shopkeeper: "Oops, my money bag seems to be missing." ”

And the shopkeeper who was waiting for her to pay for it on the side had already shown disdain when he saw her hurrying appearance, and when he heard her say this, he snorted in his nose, turned around and called out to a person who looked like a fat head and big ears.

The fat shopkeeper walked to Xiao Rou's table, looked at Xiao Rou's table of dishes that he had almost never eaten, and then looked at Xiao Rou's dress, and said coldly: "This store does not pay on credit, please pay for it." ”

"But my money is really gone." Xiao Rou hurriedly said to the shopkeeper.

"No money? If you don't have any money, you're here to pretend to be a big guy. Less nonsense! Pay the money and leave, if you don't have money, you don't want to take a step out of this store today! The fat shopkeeper slapped his palm on the table and yelled loudly.

"I ...... It's not that I don't give money, my money is in my bag, but I can't find it now. Xiaorou was really anxious at this moment, and she wanted to explain to the fat shopkeeper.

"I've seen a lot of people who cheat and eat and drink, don't play tricks, your kid is still a little tender!" The fat shopkeeper has already decided that Xiaorou is a liar.

The people around also began to point their fingers, originally, one person ordered so many dishes, and now they said that they had no money to settle the bill, which made it clear that there was a ghost.

"I'm not a liar......" Xiao Rou was embarrassed there, almost crying again, she had never seen this situation since she was a child, how did she know the phrase "a thousand days at home, but a day difficult to go out".

"Boss, we'll settle the bill for his meal together." Suddenly a voice spoke.

I saw two people slowly walking down from the second floor, and the one who spoke walked in front, dressed as an entourage. And the boy behind him had a cold expression, although he was dressed ordinarily, he couldn't hide the natural nobility on his body.

Xiao Rou raised her eyes and looked at it, only to feel that the boy was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.

At that moment, the attendant had already handed a silver ticket to the fat shopkeeper, and said, "We can take him away." ”

"Of course, of course, please go slowly, welcome to come again." The fat shopkeeper immediately changed his face, nodded and said.

Su Xiaorou followed the two out and said gratefully, "Thank you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do today." It's really strange, why is my money missing when it's in my bag? ”

The boy glanced at Su Xiaorou, obviously not wanting to hear her mention this matter again, so he only said coldly: "Aren't you the little scholar in Prime Minister Su's family?" Why did you get to Huangzhou? ”

"Huh?" Xiao Rou was startled, and she looked carefully at the boy in front of her: "Could it be?" Are you the crown prince Li Mo? ”

"Bold! The name of the prince is not allowed to be called by you casually! The attendant next to him whispered to Xiao Rou.

Oh, my God! I'm really afraid of seeing ghosts. Xiao Rou complained bitterly in her heart, her face had already turned into a bitter melon, no wonder she felt familiar when she saw him just now, it turned out that he was really the prince Li Mo.

Li Mo stared at the thin scholar in front of him, and he had already seen the instantaneous change in her expression.

This time there was a rare drought in Huangzhou, Li Mo came to check on the order of his father, and when he was about to go back to restore his life, he didn't expect to meet the scholar in the prime minister's mansion, and when he heard the noise in the restaurant, he recognized at a glance that this was Su Junchu's crying scholar.

Su Xiaorou racked her brains to think of countermeasures, and stammered: "I, my family...... I'm not a scholar in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. ”

"Oh, was you quit because you cried?" Li Mo said with a little joking.

"Yes, yes, I didn't do anything good, and I was fired." Su Xiaorou nodded again and again, just wanting to get out quickly, and then said, "Thank you for the prince's help today, I will definitely return the silver taels another day." "I want to leave.

"I can send you back to Su Mansion, the Su family has always been kind-hearted, and they will definitely take you in again." Somehow, Li Mo just had an inexplicable concern for this little scholar, maybe because he was too thin and so crying, pitiful.
