Chapter 113: Becoming a Husband and Wife
When He Yuebu came to propose, Lian Zhi'er was studying a new version of himself and a new dish in the kitchen, steaming fox meatballs with wine.
The people of Beiliang all feed on beef and mutton, and where have those cooks seen these things, they saw Lian Zhi'er waving a shovel and spoon, and it took half an hour to make a golden plate.
Just when she was hesitating whether to bring Shi Ran over, she saw Dongxue in the princess's house running in in a hurry.
"Why is the county lord in the kitchen? Call the slave and maid easy to find, the princess is looking for you. Dong Xue's face was complicated, "The people from Heyue came here, and they only said that they wanted you to marry him, and they also brought a rich dowry." ”
The spoon in his hand fell to the ground suddenly, and Lian Zhi'er hurried to the king's tent.
After making a fuss like that last night, Princess Beiliang had already exhausted her mind, and she was still unconscious.
She just entered the king's tent, and sure enough, she saw a room full of treasures, but Ershuo, the eldest son of the leader of Heyue, was standing in the king's tent, but she saw that he was burly, with eyebrows and sword eyes, with a momentum, but his reputation was extremely bad, but he was a group of concubines.
Heyue is the place where Mrs. Mei was born, relying on King Yan Cheng over the years, they have become one of the best tribes in Beiliang, when the King of Beiliang was there, they also kept to themselves, and now they are more and more not putting the people of the royal court in their eyes.
Ershuo smiled as he pointed to the brocade and shrewd porcelain on the carpet, as well as boxes of gold and silver. "County Lord, Wechen is here to propose marriage to you, and I won't tell you that Wechen has been in love with you for a long time."
Lian Zhi'er hadn't spoken yet, but Lian Juan was already jumping to his feet in anger. But seeing his braids on his head swaying, he pointed at Er Shuo and scolded, "What kind of shitch are you, you dare to come here to propose, my sister is the daughter of my father." How can this king's own sister marry you slaves who lead horses and stirrups? ”
Ershuo's father was a slave to Lian Zhi'er's father, and it was only because of his outstanding military achievements that he pardoned him, which is why he now has Heyuebu.
After all, Lian Huan is still young, and he is like a violent charcoal, and he scolds those words that poke people's hearts.
Er Shuo only thought about what his wife Mei explained, and only said slowly, "The prince and the county lord still don't know, the subordinates got a peerless treasure a few days ago, which is a life-sustaining pill left by the medical immortals of the Central Plains back then, as long as the person who has tuberculosis eats it, it is enough to live for another ten years." ”
Lian Zhi'er also knew such a medicine, it is rumored that there are only two left in the world, and the emperor of the Central Plains ate one back then, and he came back to life when he was in danger.
Lian Huan's face had changed, "Don't hand it over quickly." ”
Doom looked at Lian Zhi'er, "At this time, the county lord's dowry." As long as the county lord can marry me, on the wedding night, his subordinates will personally offer it. ”
Lian Zhi'er looked at Ershuo, he just married her for her noble status, and sneered, "You made up your mind to marry the county lord at this time, right?" ”
Ershuo looked confident, "The county lord is a smart man, and he also knows that today is different from the past, and now whether your brother can sit firmly on the throne depends on whether his sister can find a good backer for him." ”
After saying that, Ershuo took his leave, and only then did he leave the king's tent, and he heard his subordinates ask about it, but he laughed loudly, "The county lord is ours. . . ”
Their subordinates all raised their arms and shouted, and they also knew that as long as the lord of Beiliang County could marry him, they would not be ridiculed by others because of their bad background.
It wasn't until their cheers faded away that Lian Truss slammed his fist against the table.
He can't bear his mother, and he can't give up his sister, even if he is the most noble king in Beiliang, he still can't protect the person he loves the most after all.
Lian Zhi'er walked over slowly, but saw that Lian Huan's eyes were red, so he said slowly, "Ah Huan, my sister is willing to do anything for you and Aunt Lan, you are my last relatives." ”
Lian Huan's eyes were filled with endless remorse, and he said slowly after a long time, "What about dyeing?" ”
"Ah Huan, my sister only hopes that you will take care of Shi Ran and Ah Kong in the future, these are the people my sister cares about the most." Lian Zhi'er's eyes flickered, "This is their only foothold." ”
The night in the north was surprisingly cold, but the moonlight fell on the vast grass, and the silence seemed to hide a flood beast.
When Lian Zhi'er went to the tent, he was reading a book, but this book was a biography of Beiliang, the ancestor of Beiliang, and the person most admired by the people of Beiliang.
Lian Zhi'er sighed helplessly, "Sure enough, I like to read, you have been reading this book for a few days." ”
Shi Ran slowly put down the book and looked at the plate of dishes she handed over, "This is your newly developed wine-stuffed steamed fox meatballs?" ”
Lian Zhi'er's face was full of surprise, "How do you know?!" ”
"The people in the kitchen begged me, saying that if their county lord messed with these things again, the stove would be burned down." Shi Ran's eyes were faint, but because of the inlaid mask, he couldn't see the expression on his face at this time.
Lian Zhi'er stuck out her tongue helplessly, "They really know the severity, and they know that I only listen to you in the whole Beiliang, but I'm too bored to be idle." ”
"Starting tomorrow, I will teach you to read, and you haven't even finished learning the Book of Poetry at the beginning."
"Not necessarily." Lian Zhi'er hurriedly refused. Who didn't know that what she was most afraid of was studying, and then looked down at her thin white palm, "I still remember how painful your ring ruler was, and I didn't leave any affection." ”
Shi Ran sighed helplessly, "I've never taught you such stupid people. ”
Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but be angry and hateful, so she just turned her head away and ignored him.
He just took the chopsticks and ate the food she had researched, a very strange taste, he almost vomited it, but his good cultivation made him swallow it slowly.
Although Lian Zhi'er was pointed at him, he seemed to have seen all this, and couldn't help but turn his head back with a smile on his face, "Let's go down the snow mountain to see the moon." ”
Shi Ran finally swallowed the meatballs in his mouth, "Now? ”
Lian Zhi'er came up and pulled his arm, "What, are you still afraid that the county lord will eat you?" Besides, you are a man, and it is the lord of this county who suffers! ”
Shi Ran sighed helplessly, "Okay." ”
Lian Zhi'er agreed with him to meet him outside the tent, and then hurriedly packed his things, and when he went out, he saw Lian Zhi'er's thin body wearing five or six fox fur cloaks, pressing on her body like a huge mountain, and even her steps were a little vain.
He couldn't help but laugh, "What are you doing here?" ”
Lian Zhi'er blinked her playful eyes, "It's very cold under the snowy mountains, and I also found a bottle of liquor that my father hidden, so let's get drunk and rest." ”
Shi Ran tugged at his cloak. "What the hell are you trying to suffer, to suffer alive, now it's so cold."
Lian Zhi'er smiled weirdly, "The person who wants you." ”
Dyeing, "......"
When the two of them went to lead the horses, the guards saw that their faces were full of strangeness, and one of the guards said with a smile, "County Lord, it's dark and windy, be careful on the road, I'm afraid that we will have more little sons in the future." ”
Shi Ran knew that the people of Beiliang didn't care about so many respects and humilities, but when he saw Lian Zhi'er muttering and scolding a few words, he took Shi Ran and went straight to the foot of the snow mountain.
When the two of them arrived, they saw the moonlight shining on the cold snow, and the lake at the foot of the snow-capped mountain was as calm as a mirror, reflecting everything in it.
Lian Zhi'er looked at Shi Ran, her eyes had a strange luster, "In our Beiliang, as long as two people throw a stone with each other's names written on it in this lake, these two people will be blessed by the gods on the snowy mountain, so that they can love each other for a lifetime and become a real husband and wife." ”
Shi Ran leaned over and picked up two smooth stones and handed her one, "Do you have any pen and ink?" ”
Lian Zhi'er had tears in her eyes, she bit her finger, and then slowly wrote Shi Ran's name.
Seeing her like this, Shi Ran did it with her. The scarlet blood on the moon-white stone looked a little shocking.
It wasn't until both of them finished writing that Lian Zhi'er took the stone from his hand and gave him his own. happy
"As long as you identify each other's people, you can't regret it for the rest of your life, otherwise the gods on the snowy mountains will condemn you, and we will be punished." Lian Zhi'er's face was mottled with tears, "Shi Ran, are you really willing?" ”
Shi Ran looked at her, but still reached out and threw the stone into the lake.
The stone in her hand and his hand slowly fell into the cold bottom of the lake, disappearing into the cold waves, she was like in a dream, "Shi Ran, I didn't expect me to trick you to my side, we will be husband and wife in the future." ”
The mask on Shi Ran's face glowed with a soft sheen, "yes, I finally let you succeed." ”
Lian Zhi'er didn't go back, but just took off all the cloaks on his body. Then spread it on the icy snow, and then lit a bonfire, and only pulled Shi Dye to see the moon together.
The two of them lay side by side, and the faint magnolia fragrance on his body surrounded her. And she slowly lay in the crook of his arm, "I told you that the stars in Beiliang are very beautiful, can you take a look now?" ”
The moon and stars on the snow-capped mountains are so low that they seem to be able to be pressed down at any moment, as if they could be plucked all together.
"It's beautiful, even better than you say." He smiled, "In my life, I have thought about how to uphold justice and how to be a slaughterer for officials, but I never thought that I would come to Beiliang and look at the stars in the sky, but I have never regretted all this." ”
His voice was like a jade in her ears, and she seemed to hear her heart pounding.
"We're husband and wife tonight, we made a vow in the snowy mountains." She only spoke of tonight, but not later.
He looked down at her, his hot breath falling on her ear, and then slowly kissed her cold lips.
Each other's breath was so hot and hot.
Lian Zhi'er's hand slowly stretched out to the placket of his clothes, and he was shocked, and he couldn't help but think of Ruan Lu's face, and everything he had to do when he came to Beiliang, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head, he pushed Lian Zhi'er away violently.
Lian Zhi'er sat up with a pale face because he pushed too far. Her thin body rolled into the ice, covered in icy snow.
There was weakness and nervousness in her voice, "Do you dislike me like that?" Is it because of Ruan Lu? I've never loved him half a minute, never. ”
Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but shed tears from her eyes, and she only stood up and staggered to leave, but before she had gone far, she saw a sound of footsteps behind her, and then she fell into a warm embrace.
"How could I dislike you, I will marry you in style." Shi Dye's voice was deep. In the snow, it was very clear, "Didn't you say that you want to see the moon together?" ”
The moon faded into the sky, the yellowish morning light shone on the top of the vast snow-capped mountains, and the early snow foxes and wild beasts came out of their warm nests to feed.
When Ah Zeng brought the people over, Shi Ran had already fallen asleep leaning on Lian Zhi'er's body, he was sleeping deeply, and the wine jug next to them was already empty.
At this time, the spirits of the King of Beiliang, ordinary people will sleep for two days after only three sips, not to mention the dyeing that is not good at drinking.
Ah Zeng dismounted and looked at Lian Zhi'er. With a sad face, he said, "County Lord, Weichen will take him back and lock him up for three days, waiting for you to marry and leave." will release him. ”
Lian Zhi'er reached out and stroked Shi Ran's cold mask, and then crossed his tightly closed eyes, "Even if I marry someone else, I am also guarding you like jade, we are a husband and wife for life, we swore in the snow mountain." ”

However, three days passed quickly, and the matter of the main marriage of Beiliang County had already spread throughout Beiliang.
Princess Beiliang also knew what kind of virtuous person Na Ershuo was, but Lian Zhi'er was only bent on marrying, she didn't know why, but she had to take advantage of her better body, so she personally prepared a wedding dress for her.
Everything was in a hurry, and Na He Yuebu was even more impatient, for fear that something would change.
Lian Zhi'er sat in his tent, but he saw that he was not happy in the mirror, obviously he was today's bride.
Lian Huan knew about his sister's marriage today, he didn't even eat, and he didn't even say half a word of joy, but he was stuffed in the king's tent and lost his temper with his subordinates.
I don't know how long it took, but I saw a burst of drum music outside, but it was Mrs. Mei who came in person, looked at Lian Zhi'er and said, "County Lord, the auspicious time has arrived, let's go quickly, so as not to delay the hour." ”
saw that Lian Yan also came in at this time, looking at the wedding dress on Lian Zhi'er's body, she only said sarcastically, "I didn't expect the royal court to be so defeated, and I didn't even have a decent shirt, so I married my cousin." As long as you bother to please you, you may be able to eat and drink spicy food. ”
Lian Zhi'er looked at the pair of arrogant mothers and daughters, and suddenly sneered, "If you come to see the joke, just look at it, today my uncle actually married me in order to win over Heyue, and this will be my sister's fate another day, I heard that my uncle is also trying his best to win over the tribes in the north, and I heard that I want to marry my sister to the old man." ”
King Yan Cheng did have such a plan, and when the mother and daughter saw Lian Zhi'er say it so sarcastically, they couldn't help but blush.
"Don't think you'll be proud for long, my cousin is an amorous person, even if a fairy-like character stays by his side for a long time, he will get bored." Lian Yan sneered. "Waiting for you to cry in the future."
Lian Zhi'er didn't bother to quarrel with them anymore, but let the maid Dongxue help her into the carriage.
She sat in the carriage, looking at the emptiness next to the carriage, she couldn't help but feel like a knife stabbing in her heart, Aunt Lan was reluctant to come to see her off, and Lian Huan was even more sulky by herself.
Accompanied by the sound of wheels. Her carriage slowly left the royal court.
——————
When Ah Zeng brought food to Shi Ran, Shi Ran was sitting on a chair, his face was complicated, "Why is there the sound of wind music outside, what happened?" ”
Ah Zeng sighed casually, "Could someone as smart as Lord Shi not know." You still don't have to worry about it, she is going to get married today, but Bei Liang will take you in, you just have to stay here for a long time. ”
Shi Ran had already guessed it, especially after he was inexplicably locked up here, he also thought of it.
His eyes were red, "Let me go, I want to see the princess." ”
"It was her own idea." Ah Zeng still said those things about Lian Zhi'er, and then sighed slowly, "She's just for the princess's life, does she want to watch the princess die in vain?" ”
Shi Ran sneered, "So you willingly ruined her life, your princess can live for five or six years, but what about after she dies?" If the county lord is not by the little prince's side, then he will become a loner completely, and let King Yan Cheng knead it. ”
Ah Zeng couldn't help but change his face.
"Take me to the princess, and I'll try to save her." Shi Ran's eyes were red, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyes that could not be refused.
Princess Beiliang was lying on the sickbed, Shicai vomited blood again, and her eyes were also a mist, so she only muttered, "I said that why did this child suddenly become stunned and seemed to have to marry, it turned out to be for my useless old bones, it was really stupid." ”
Shi Ran had already told her everything.
"I am willing to help the little prince to govern Beiliang, and I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire, I just ask you to save Lian Zhi'er." Shi Ran's eyes were full of solemnity, "As long as I am there for a day, no one will hurt the prince and the county lord." ”
Princess Beiliang had also heard of Shi Ran when she was in Beijing, and knew that if she had his help, everything would change.
"But it's too late." There were tears in her eyes, "Who can stop that fool back now." ”
Shi Ran raised his head, there was no fear on his face, but he said something almost rebellious, "As long as the princess personally understands her life, I can bring her back today, and I will definitely not let her be hurt in the slightest, besides, she and I have become husband and wife last night, so I am naturally willing to sacrifice my life to protect her." ”
The princess's face gradually turned pale, and finally a pair of dark eyes fell on him, "This princess wants you to swear, if you dare to disobey half a point of what you say today, she will teach you that life is better than death, and you will be killed by your loved one in the future." ”
Such a cruel oath, he was silent for a moment, but still agreed.
Only then did the princess pull up the silver hairpin on her bun and plunge it into her chest.
