Chapter 158: Privately Giving and Receiving
"Dad, you let me out, what are you doing here~ Dad! Mother, can you help me open the door, I beg you. Mr. Cheng and I are really in love! He promised to come and propose. ”
Li Jiao knocked tiredly, leaning against the door and sobbing non-stop.
"No! Even if he comes to propose, I won't agree to this family business! ”
There was a crisp sound of smashing glasses in the other room, and Li Zhutou put on his coat, walked to the door angrily, and shouted at Ah Mao's room. Aunt Li persuaded Li Zhutou in anger while secretly wiping her tears. Ah Mao's eldest brother and second brother persuaded one by one.
"Dad, you are angry, my little sister is still young, don't be angry with her."
"Ah Mao, you just listen to your father, don't make trouble, change Ming'er, the second brother will find you the best matchmaker in the county and say a good family affair! Well, let's stop making trouble! ”
"I don't, I don't! Daddy, let me out! Li Jiao's temper twisted up, and no one could do anything about her.
"Don't worry about her, just lock me up like this, when will I stop thinking about it, and when will I let her out again! This stinky girl, who hasn't figured out who she is, just shaved her head and picked her head hot! Pull what you pull, it's all you! How do you teach your daughter! Hum! Aunt Li, who was angry, wiped her tears and didn't dare to speak.
Finally, Li Jiao, who was tired of crying and tired, lay on the bed weakly, fell asleep with tears in her eyes, and was in a daze until midnight.
Suddenly, someone knocked softly on her window.
"Miss Li, Miss Li." Outside the window, a man lowered his voice and softly called her name.
"Who?" Mao asked vigilantly.
"It's me, Party A!"
"It's you!" Li Jiao was surprised and delighted: "Why are you here?" Did your grandfather call you? ”
"Exactly, our grandfather has heard about Miss Li, and he asked the little one to pass on a message to the girl."
"What?" Ah Mao's mood suddenly became clear, it turned out that he really had her in his heart, and he was not alone.
"Master, call the little one to ask the girl, if the girl is willing to go away with our master!"
"Go away...... Goofy...... "elopement? It was something she had never thought about.
"Master, I also said that if the girl is unwilling, the master will not complain about the girl. It's been too long since my grandfather came out, and a letter from home urged him to go back, and we will leave tomorrow. From then on, they will be separated from each other, and each will be fine. Girl, the little one brought the words, how the girl decides, please also tell the little one, the little one is good to go back and talk back to the master. ”
"Huh? …… He's leaving? In such a hurry? This...... This ...... "Li Jiao is so big, the farthest is to follow his father from Qinghe County to Dinghai County to take office, and go to the end of the world?" She can't even imagine it, so how does this make her decisions?
"It seems that the girl's mind has been decided, well, the little one will go back to the master, girl...... I have no intention of sleeping with him, please forget the girl from now on and find another good match! The little ones are gone. ”
"Hey, hey, why are you like this, I'...... I haven't said anything yet, why are you talking to yourself! Li Jiao hurriedly called out to him, for fear that he would really leave.
"That'...... The girl means ......"
"I ...... I...... Yes! I'll go with him! Li Jiao finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind. Father, mother, for him, he has the right to be a daughter and unfilial. When my daughter and him become married, my daughter will definitely bring him back to make amends to you!
"Well, the girl heard clearly, tomorrow night (21 o'clock to 23 o'clock Beijing time) in the west of the city, we will wait for the girl there, if the girl does not come when the child arrives, then we will know what the girl means, and set off."
"Well, you go and tell Mr. Cheng that I must go, and tell him to wait for me!"
"Okay, the little one must bring the words, and the little one will leave first."
There was no more sound outside the window, and Party A left.
Li Jiao's mood was difficult to calm down, and her eyes were wide until dawn.
In the evening, when Li Zhutou and his two brothers were out on an errand, under the pretext of having a stomachache, they wanted to go to the toilet, so Aunt Li deceived Aunt Li to open the door for her, and secretly took the burden that had been sorted out a long time ago, and turned out of the courtyard from the wall of the thatched house.
Like a bird out of the cage and running to freedom, Li Jiao carried her little burden and walked happily on the way to Wuguanpo.
In "Zuo Biography - Twenty-Nine Years of Zhao Gong", it was written: "Therefore, there are officials of the five elements, which are called the five senses, and they are actually listed as surnames, and they are named Shanggong and worshiped as noble gods." ”
The Wuguan slope in the west of the city is actually just an inconspicuous small dirt slope, according to legend, it is the place where the god of the five senses is ranked in the immortal class, and the people named this place the Wuguan slope in order to worship this noble god.
There is a small pavilion built by a kind rich merchant at the bottom of the slope, and Bai Lisheng waited in front of the pavilion with a group of people.
"Master, do you think Miss Li won't come?" Party A was a little puzzled: "Why do you go to such a great deal of trouble, isn't it faster and more convenient to tie people up directly." ”
Bai Lisheng knocked his head with a fan: "It's really rotten wood that can't be carved~ If she wasn't willing to go with me, how could I have the opportunity to make Miss Chu fall in love with me!" ”
"But, ...... you"
"Don't be, Party B used to always ask me stupid questions, why is it you now? Hey, what about Party B? Bai Lisheng's tone was relaxed and seemed to be in a good mood.
"There's this kid!" I don't know what's wrong with him these days, he is a little listless and unwilling, Party A thought to himself.
Bai Lisheng looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that Party B, who was always energetic and jumping up and down in the past, was now sitting on a stone on the side of the road like a frosted eggplant, looking into the distance in a daze.
"What's wrong with him?" It is rare for Baili Sheng to be kind and pleasant, and he cares about this subordinate who has followed him for many years.
"I don't know, maybe it's boring to wait, or maybe I'm hungry."
Although Party A didn't know why his younger brother looked like this, his intuition told him not to tell his master too clearly.
"Well, then you send someone to the front to pick it up, and we'll set off as soon as Miss Li arrives." Bailisheng's concern for his subordinates is limited to a one-sentence greeting, no matter how much, there will be no more.
"Yes, the little one will be called Party B." Party A turned around and gestured to Party B. Party B nodded, stood up weakly, and trotted away.
After turning aimlessly around the intersection, Party B felt that his mind was still very chaotic. These days, Miss Li's delicate face and the fiery charm of that night are intertwined and appear in his mind from time to time.
He and his brother have always lived in the center of power, and they are used to seeing those women who are weak and submissive on the surface, smiling and stabbing in the back. Those women in the power field, no matter their scheming, are no less vicious than men. On the contrary, it is a simple and kind girl like Miss Li who attracts him even more.
Unfortunately, this innocent girl has become a pawn of the master. He wanted to save her, but he couldn't do it. He knew very well how ruthless and cruel Bai Lisheng was to the people who betrayed him. At that time, not only him, but even Miss Li will suffer.
"Huh? It's you? Why are you here? Li Jiao's crisp voice of surprise sounded in his ears.
Li ...... Aunt Li...... Girl! For some reason, Party B was always a little at a loss in the face of her: "You, you're here, master...... Ye is already ...... There's something waiting for you ahead. Please follow me. ”
Li Jiao smiled at him: "Thank you." The eyes and heart had already flown to Bai Lisheng in the distance.
Party B's expression dimmed instantly, yes, she only has the master in her eyes, what kind of thing is she, a minion, just a subordinate......
"Mr. Sheng!" Like a happy bird, Li Jiao happily ran to Bai Lisheng's side and shouted affectionately.
"Miss Li, you're finally here, I was worried that you wouldn't come just now" Bai Lisheng showed his usual charming smile and looked at her gently.
"If I can't come, are you really going to leave like this?" Li Jiao asked mischievously.
Baili Sheng's face did not change: "Natural...... No. ”
"Oh, what would you do then?" Hee-hee, I knew he was reluctant.
"Then I only have ...... Tell Party B to go to your house and rob you out! "In terms of playing tricks, where is Li Jiao's opponent of Bailisheng.
"Hee-hee." She couldn't help but laugh with joy and laughter from the bottom of her heart.
Li Jiao's simple smiling face was particularly dazzling in Bai Lisheng's eyes: in front of him should be the elegant Chu Qingruo who was as elegant as a white swan smiling at him, not this vulgar country girl!
"Then let's go!" In order to hide the irrepressible impatience in his eyes, Bai Lisheng deliberately turned around and said with a smile.
"Okay." Ah Mao, who was unaware, was intoxicated with "love" and obeyed his words.
In this way, the ignorant Li Jiao happily embarked on this road of no return that made her heartbroken and regretful in the future......
After half a month of recuperation, Fu Lingyun's injuries were finally almost healed, and the group continued to move in the direction of Antang Daying.
"Young master, woo...... Master, are you still alive...... Woowoo...... Great, really...... That's great! ”
When there was still half a mile away from the Antang military camp, a black shining, handsome horse in the distance rolled up the dust, and came straight to Chu Qingruo and his party from far and near.
On the horseback carried a handsome man who was crying bitterly, with a sad and earnest, broken liver and intestines, like a cuckoo crying blood, and a euphemistic and melodious cry, he arrived at Fu Lingyun, who was riding a horse and walking at the front of the team, and before he could wait for the horse to stand firm, he rolled over and rolled off the horse, and fell on Fu Lingyun's lap across the horse, looking at him with "deep affection" and complaint:
"Young Master...... You're finally back, I'm ...... I thought you didn't want me anymore......"
