Chapter 78: Giving a Wedding Dress
Lian Zhi'er's eyes were filled with endless despair, her fingers curled up tightly, she couldn't hide anything, all she saw was endless darkness.
Shi Ran's gaze swept over the faces of the two men, and finally landed on Lian Zhi'er's bloodless face.
"It's my flesh and blood."
In an instant, Lian Zhi'er and Fu Yunhuang were all stunned, and Lian Zhi'er looked at him in disbelief, as if he didn't believe that he could almost do this for himself.
"No, it can't be." Fu Yunhuang had already recovered from the shock, "You are the person who attaches the most importance to etiquette and virtue, how can you do such a thing?" ”
Shi Ran's thin lips pursed slightly, "That's why I'm going to marry her." ”
His words were tantamount to pushing Fu Yunhuang into the endless abyss, her eyes were full of hatred, "Shi Ran, I admire you with all my heart, even if I know that you are a cold-hearted person, but I still want to marry you, do you want to trample me and my face to the ground today for a lowly woman?" ”
Lian Zhi'er looked at the woman in front of her who was almost crazy, and her peerless and beautiful face looked a little hideous and terrifying.
Shi Ran looked at her calmly without any emotion, and then unhurriedly pulled out a letter from his cuff.
"This is the marriage certificate returned by Ling Zun, and our marriage has been completed." His voice was cold, without a trace of nostalgia.
Fu Yunhuang knew that his father still didn't dare to offend the eldest princess, so he returned the marriage certificate, but he stained his eyes without any emotion. It stabbed her heart like a dagger.
He was like discarding a useless object, and he had no feelings for her.
"Good, good." She smiled, but the tears fell with a smile, "Shi Ran, I will make you pay for your cruelty one day, I hope you understand love, and then bully and be lonely for the rest of your life." Loss of a loved one. ”
Shi Ran still frowned, but Lian Zhi'er on the side only felt creepy, and his back was cold.
The desperate and sad woman turned to leave, but Shi Ran called her, "I want your help with something." ”
Fu Yunhuang turned around, and there seemed to be something burning in those extremely beautiful pupils, waiting for something.
"Lian'er is pregnant, please don't mention it to others." It was obviously asking her, but there was a solemnity in his voice, as if it were an order.
The brightness in Fu Yunhuang's eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only endless ashes, and then desperate eyes crossed Lian Zhi'er's face.
"Don't worry, what kind of person am I, how can I talk about these dirty things." She smiled desperately, "Lord Shi's face of deceiving the world and stealing his name will definitely be known to the world, so why wait for me to say." ”
Lian Zhi'er said. "Thank you."
"I'm very proud." Fu Yunhuang smiled on his face and looked at Lian Zhi'er, "I will be the princess in the future, let's take a look and see who chooses the right man." ”
Lian Zhi'er was unwilling to be humiliated by such a dusty person, so she only said stubbornly, "Then please ask the princess to please your Royal Highness, and you will not be disgusted by your highness in the future." ”
Fu Yunhuang looked at Lian Zhi'er, but didn't say anything, as if he didn't care to argue with a lowly slave like her, so he just turned around and left.
Soon the room fell silent, and there was a hint of confusion in Shi Ran's eyes.
He argued with the stubborn and corrupt ministers in the court, and even the intrigues of the vassal kings, but he was not as tired as he is today.
Even Zhi'er didn't dare to make a sound, so he was given tea and brought to him.
Her fingers kept twisting her shirt to hide her crampedness and uneasiness at this moment.
However, her lips moved slightly, and she was about to say something, but saw that his pale eyes had fallen on her, "Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?" ”
Lian Zhi'er lowered her head a little ashamed, but didn't say anything, just turned around and left.

When Fu Yunhuang returned to the inn, the tears in his eyes seemed to have run out.
She went upstairs almost numbly, but at a glance she saw the man sitting by the window, he seemed to have something to worry about, and even his back was a little cold.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he didn't even look back.
"Coming back?"
"I used to be really confused, the prince is a royal prince and nobleman, and he is in charge of tens of thousands of imperial forest troops in Beijing, who in the world doesn't want to marry." She smiled and captivated the country, and her smile was moving.
"Oh? Aren't those women more concerned about the skin of this son? He turned his head to look at her with a smile, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"I'm different." She is like a foxy demon.
Suddenly, his face changed suddenly, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, only walked up, strangled her chin, and even his voice was cold.
"Don't calculate what this son is!" There was a warning in his grim voice.
"Isn't His Royal Highness the Prince more disgusted with dyeing? That's why you took such pains to marry me, just to humiliate him. There seemed to be a sharp blade hidden in her eyes.
"There are thousands of ways to deal with Shi Dye, but it's not your turn to instigate here, this Shizi is not one of those men who was deceived by your skin!" He shook off her jaw violently, and his voice was endlessly cold, "The princess is not so easy to be. ”
"When are we going back to Beijing?" There was already fear in her eyes.
Ruan Lu's voice was a little complicated, "This Shizi brought something from Beijing, and he hasn't given it away yet, and when the Qixi Festival passes, Ben Shizi is too lazy to stay in this dilapidated place." ”
Only then did Fu Yunhuang notice that there was a red sandalwood gold box on the table, and the color of the box was bright. The flowers are so lifelike that even people like her who have seen the world can't help but be surprised.
She knew that she was rude, but she still walked over and opened the box, and her face couldn't help but be full of astonishment.
"How is it a phoenix crown?"
Her fingertips crossed the phoenix crown, but she saw that the pearl inlaid on it was an eastern pearl the size of a dragon's eye, and the golden peony embroidered on the wedding dress was actually woven directly by kneading bird feathers into threads.
"This is the wedding dress given by the emperor when the eldest princess got married?" She asked incredulously, "Who are you going to give it to?" ”
She also heard about this matter, when the eldest princess got married, the emperor looked at this set of phoenix crowns and said, "Now the clothes worth 10,000 gold are too extravagant to wear them only once in a lifetime." ”
The eldest princess knelt on the ground to thank her, and only said, "When her daughter gives birth to an heir in the future, when he marries a wife, he will definitely use this phoenix crown and xia veil." ”
"Naturally, it's for the person who should give it, do you think you deserve to wear this shirt?" Ruan Lu looked at Fu Yunhuang coldly, with a look of disdain in his eyes.
"You want to give it to Shi Dye?" She really couldn't think of who he wanted to give it to when he came all the way.
"This son is an old friend with him, and he admires him a lot, he is very happy to take a concubine, why can't this son give him something?" Ruan Lu reached out and closed the box. almost hit Fu Yunhuang's finger.
——————
Although it is a desolate place, it is not as lively as Shangjing, but this is the first time that Lian Zhier has seen the Qixi Festival.
Lian Zhi'er looked at the countless colorful flowers on the trees on the side of the street, and the children under the steps only looked up at the occasional fireworks.
Shi Ran seemed to dislike the excitement and only walked in the crowd, looking a little out of place.
Shi Ran only brought a hat, and although he couldn't see his appearance, there were still countless people around him who looked at him.
Lian Zhi'er has a red rope tied on his head, and there is no extra jewelry, he looks more graceful and agile than before, and he is more and more popular.
However, at this moment, I saw people shouting, "The immortals have descended to earth, go and take a look." ”
Lian Zhi'er was stunned, but because the crowd was crowded from all directions, they couldn't walk, so they could only walk forward with the flow of people.
She subconsciously protected her stomach, for fear that something would go wrong.
And at this moment, I felt like I had fallen into a gentle embrace, and then the familiar magnolia.
It was Shi Dye who protected her and kept moving forward.
In the crowd, Lian Zhi'er's feet were stepped on many times, and his shoes barely hung on his feet.
When she turned to look nervously at Shi Dye. But when he saw that his white clothes were clean and clean, he did not know how to escape the poison of those people.
Finally, the crowded crowd stopped, and Lian Zhi'er faintly saw the "immortals" in those mouths through the figures.
It turned out to be Ruan Lu and Fu Yunhuang, two people who were born so handsome to get together, it was difficult not to be noticed.
I saw that the two of them were standing on a stall, and there were more than a dozen porcelain bowls on the stall, but they were just a little trick to test the needle.
The boss saw that there were so many people in front of his stall, and he was more and more happy.
Lian Zhi'er looked at it from afar, but saw Fu Yunhuang holding a silver needle in his hand, and the serious beauty seemed to be even more eye-catching, and the people around him were holding their breath and didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing this, "fairy".
Soon the solemn beauty laughed, and in an instant even the fireworks in the sky lost their brilliance.
Ruan Lu smiled and hugged her in his arms, saying something affectionately. But I saw the beauty smiling even more movingly.
Such a fairy couple is the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky, and that's it.
Lian Zhi'er subconsciously went to see Shi Ran, and under the hat, his face was surprisingly calm, as if he didn't care about anything at all.
"Let's go." As soon as Lian Zhi'er saw Ruan Lu, she felt terrified, as if all her secrets were about to be discovered by him soon.
Shi Ran took her hand, and when she was about to leave, a voice like a jade came from behind her, "Master Shi stays." ”
Lian Zhi'er's body subconsciously stiffened, and she just raised her head, but saw that Shi Ran and Fu Yunhuang had already walked in front of her at some point.
The four of them found a secluded place, and only then did they barely get rid of those who were chasing them.
Ruan Lu's mood was extremely good, and Su Ri's coldness was gone.
"This prince came here this time to pick up the future princess, she lost her temper with this prince some time ago, and this son is here to take the blame." He looked at Fu Yunhuang with a doting face.
And Fu Yunhuang looked coquettish.
The dyeing is still unwavering.
Lian Zhi'er only felt that the current situation was a little weird, and she just wanted to pull her legs and leave.
"I heard that Scholar Shi is going to take a concubine, I don't know when the auspicious day will be?" Ruan Lu asked a little casually.
"In two days, there will be a feast." The voice of the dye was faint. "Today's festive season, I was about to choose a wedding dress, so I said goodbye here."
"This son is also idle and bored, the scenery in this city is not as good as that in Beijing, so let's go together. If you meet someone you like, this prince will also choose one for the princess. He smiled a little fakely.
Soon the four of them came to the only tailor's shop in the city, and on the way, Shi Dye and Ruan Lu were harmonious, like old friends.
The owner of the shop walked over with a smile, "We only sell phoenix crowns here, I don't know who wants to buy them?" ”
Lian Zhi'er sighed and walked out slowly from behind, "I just need a light red one." ”
Only when taking concubines will they wear light red wedding dresses. The boss is a person who has seen the world, and he doesn't poke it, but only smiles and says, "Look at the girl's good face, there is an excellent one for the girl to see." ”
After saying that, he carefully took out a red phoenix crown from the hidden box.
In an instant, the silver light was shining, and the room seemed to be a little brighter, and for a while everyone's eyes were attracted by this wedding dress.
"This one is only five hundred taels of silver." The boss smiled and said, "Now the girl is also destined." This dress must be very compatible with the girl, and it must be a blessing to be able to wear it on the girl's body in the future. ”
"But the color?" Lian Zhi'er was a little stunned, didn't this boss hear those words of Shicai clearly? He can't get an inch to marry her, he has already helped her to such a point, how can she bother him again.
"If there is no Taifu Shi here, who would dare to take a concubine from a university scholar?" Ruan Lu's lazy voice came, "This Shizi looks very good, and he won't lose his identity as Lord Shi." ”
Not only is it excellent, but even the royal family and nobles dare not wear such extravagant wedding dresses.
Lian Zhi'er looked at Shi Ran a little nervously, but saw that there seemed to be comfort in his eyes, and then said softly, "Then thank you Your Highness." ”
Ruan Lu raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile, "Five hundred taels of silver, just as a gift money for the prince of this world and the concubine of the future world." ”
Shi Ran smiled gently, "Go and try, if there is something that doesn't fit, just ask them to change it." ”
Lian Zhi'er was a little afraid to move, and said with a skeptical face, "Can you really wear this?" Isn't it to transgress the rules? ”
"It doesn't matter." Shi Dye said slowly.
Listening to his words, Lian Zhi'er really put her heart back into her stomach
She seemed to think of something, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, but there was unconcealable joy between her eyebrows, "I never thought that one day I would wear the wedding dress of the Central Plains to get married, but what I prefer is the wedding robe of Beiliang, which is ......"
She said this, but her voice was interrupted suddenly, "If you don't go in and change, do you want this son to wait for you here?" Although you are Lord Shi's concubine, you are still a slave after all. ”
Lian Zhi'er clearly saw the nervousness in Shi Ran and Ruan Lu's eyes, and she didn't know what they were afraid of.
"Are you from Beiliang?" Fu Yunhuang stepped forward. stared at Lian Zhi'er.
"Let's go in and change." Shi Ran said lightly, but there was endless tenderness in his voice, "I'm waiting for you here." ”
Her cheeks flushed involuntarily, and she hugged her clothes and walked to the back room.
Shi Ran's gaze swept over Ruan Lu's back, and then said slowly, "There are still some things I have forgotten, I will say goodbye for a while, and if Lian'er comes out in a while, I will ask Lord Shizi to inform her." ”
After saying that, he saluted elegantly and turned to leave.
Fu Yunhuang gritted his teeth, as if he was hesitating about something, but at this moment, he saw Ruan Lu looking at her with a smile, almost seeing her through, "What?" Still not catching up? Your old flame is waiting for you outside?! Don't go too long. Otherwise, the vinegar of this world will come up, and you will suffer. ”
Fu Yunhuang didn't know what he was thinking, but he still turned around and hurriedly chased after him.
After they left, Ruan Lu's gaze gradually became darker, and he turned around and walked towards the back room of the shop.
Shi Ran walked outside, only raising his eyes to look at the bustle of the street, even if everything was reflected in his eyes, but his face was still endlessly cold, as if he didn't care about anything.
And at this moment, an extremely beautiful figure slowly stood in front of him, and then there was an extremely beautiful voice, even if there was anger in the voice, "You want to marry a woman from Beiliang?" ”
"Yes." The voice of the dyeing was very faint, as if it had almost disappeared into the ethereal wind.
And at this moment, I saw Fu Yunhuang's face suddenly show a smug smile, "Okay, okay, you don't have to bother me, you have to dig your own grave." ”
In the tailor's shop, Lian Zhi'er had already changed the phoenix crown and the little girl who had changed her clothes had already looked straight in her eyes, and her eyes were full of shock.
"It's such a beautiful scenery, even the queen wears it."
Lian Zhi'er doesn't know the wedding dress of the Central Plains woman, but she also thinks it is very beautiful.
She looked in the mirror, but saw that the woman in Beijing was as beautiful as a peach and plum, and it was even more moving than before, it turned out that Aunt Lan was right, only the day a woman got married was the most beautiful, because she could wear such a beautiful phoenix crown and xia veil.
While she was pondering, a voice came from behind her, "Do you like this dress?" ”
Lian Zhi'er took a step back in horror, and her shoes almost stepped on the long skirt.
But when he saw Ruan Lu walk in, he only shook his hand at the little girl, and the girl took the order to leave, and in an instant there were only two of them left in the room, and they were so quiet that they could even hear the sound of breathing clearly.
Lian Zhi'er nervously wanted to go out, and said in her mouth, "What about Shi Dye?" Where is he? I want to see him! ”
Ruan Lu grabbed her arm, pulled her to his side, and then looked straight at her with cold eyes.
"Can't you live if you don't see you for a while?" His voice was a little complicated, "Don't worry, this son is just here to see what this phoenix crown is like on you." ”
Lian Zhi'er was a little puzzled, and he didn't even know what he wanted to do.
