Chapter 52: Posthumous Independence

Lian Jing, who had nowhere to vent his anger, turned around along the lotus pond three times and turned around and went to Biqing Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Luo Yan enjoying the shade under the shadow of the moon among the flowers, Mama Liu was playing a fan, the little girl was knocking melon seeds, and the three of them were sitting around laughing and laughing.

Lian Jing's face darkened a little more, he kicked over the small stool that Mama Liu was sitting on, and then flicked his sleeves and knocked over a plate of melon seeds that the little girl had peeled, and drove the two out.

Only Luo Yan and Lian Jing were left in the courtyard.

"Do you think that if you look good, everyone will like you? I'm telling you, there are more people who hate you! Lian Jing stood with his hands in his hands, looking down at Luo Yan who was sitting on the cool floor, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of anger and disgust.

Luo Yan sat up slightly straight, looked at the somewhat abnormal prince in front of him from top to bottom, and nodded calmly: "The prince is busy with official business, so I don't need to tell me in person, Luo Yan is self-aware." ”

Lian Jing actually hoped that she would be very angry and quarrel with him, so that he could naturally vent more complaints and anger. But she didn't want to quarrel with herself, he didn't deserve it!

Thinking like this, the anger in his heart became even stronger, but after all, he didn't dare to go too far, and left with his sleeves up, so that the small courtyard would be calm again.

******

After this incident, Lian Jing never came to Biqing Courtyard again, and Yiguang was also detained in his own courtyard to prepare for marriage and completely cut off contact with Luo Yan, but Mrs. Hou Zhou came several times under the pretext of sending things, and every time she had to talk to Luo Yan for a long time.

Today is "how beautiful and decent it is to enter the palace to be a mother", tomorrow is "a woman's fate and duty", and the day after tomorrow is "the kindness of the Hou Mansion and the difficulty of the son". After listening to it a few times, Luo Yan had some eyebrows, and he vaguely understood where the nameless fire of the son of the world came from that day.

When I looked at Mrs. Hou and Zhou, I had a feeling of "pity the hearts of parents in the world". So, when Zhou came back a few days later, Luo Yan made a request.

"Madam, can Luo Yan go back to the countryside?"

Zhou was obviously a little surprised by such a request. For Luo Yan, if he is selected, it will be a splendid avenue in the future; Even if he doesn't win, the Hou Mansion will not abandon it, and it is inevitable to choose a good son-in-law for him. In any case, it is a hundred times stronger than returning to the countryside, not to mention that Luo Yan is still just an orphan girl, how can she gain a foothold without the protection of elders and men?

Zhou sighed in her heart, she didn't want to be that wicked person, so she persuaded politely: "You already understand those words, it's not that I can't tolerate people, and you don't need to think too much." Since you are here, you can make a good choice, and when necessary, the Hou Mansion is also your reliance. ”

Luo Yan shook his head and made a sincere request again: "Madam, this is not a gamble, I don't hide it, I have long planned to do so." ”

"Some time ago, I read a booklet called "Kyushu Atlas", and there is a country named Beiluo across the river from our Nanqian, where women can be in charge of a family, and I yearn for it. If it was inconvenient, my wife sent me back to my hometown; If it is convenient, Madame can send me to Beiluo, and Luo Yan is grateful. ”

Zhou was surprised, "You actually plan to go to Beiluo?" Have you thought about it for a long time? It's just that your name has been sent to the inner court, and when you are gone, who will be elected? ”

Luo Yan shook his head again, "Madam, I won't be elected, and I won't be selected." ”

Looking at the even more confused Zhou, Luo Yan smiled slightly, lowered his head and whispered: "I am not a complete body. ”

"What?! What nonsense are you talking about, how is this possible, and how do you know ?! ”

"I know you want to leave, but you can't make fun of a woman's chastity as an excuse!"

The more Zhou said, the more anxious he became, obviously angry, how could a good woman talk about herself like this to others!

Luo Yan was very calm, and smiled lightly, with a little imperceptible bitterness.

"My own body, how could I not know?"

"I have no memory, although I don't know what happened in the past, but I know that I can't lie to you, the Hou Mansion has a life-saving grace with me, I am only afraid that it will bring trouble to the Hou Mansion."

"Madam, if you pity Luo Yan, give me a way to live, let me go!"

……

On this day, Zhou stayed awake all night.

This Luo Yan, she can read and write, and her mind is clear; is arrogant and assertive, where is like a country girl who has never seen the world. She knows many famous noblewomen, but none of them have her bearing and mind, let alone her courage and guts. Where did Lian Jing find this "cousin", and what was his intention in sending such a woman to the palace?

The more Zhou thought about it, the more she shuddered, and her instincts told her that it was too dangerous. Think about it carefully, fulfilling her is also protecting the Hou Mansion, but does Lian Jing know? Will he agree?

After more than a month, Luo Yan's foot injury is almost healed, and there is no problem with daily walking. These days, she is in a good mood, and she often makes a lot of snacks and gives them to Yiguang, to Zhou's, to Mama Liu and the little girl, and even once to the prince who looks at her unpleasantly.

In her spare time, she often looks at the sky in the courtyard, so clear, clear and peaceful, just like her heart.

Ming Zheng Palace

————————————

Ying Qi was enjoying the best time of the day, and he was savoring the small plate of pastries while reading "Luo Yan's Day".

Today, it is not surprising that it is "Sakura Snow Honey Fruit" again, Ying Qi is sure in her heart that she will only do this! But this does not affect his love, it doesn't matter what you eat, what matters is what she does!

Lian Jing didn't leave, waiting to collect the small plate. He didn't know what agreement had been made between the two that day, but he just sent the pastries to the palace every evening as instructed, and then sent back the plates containing the pastries.

Seeing Ying Qi eating so happily, he was very disapproving. He also tasted a bite of that snack, and it was just a mouthful, the taste, sweet and greasy, can stick people's hearts, soft and make people feel that they have lost their teeth, in short, it is very unpalatable! He really didn't understand how he couldn't get tired of eating such an unpalatable thing.

Suddenly, Ying Qi's face tightened, and he asked Lian Jing: "She sent a lot of things to Mama Liu and the little girl today?" ”

"Yes", Lian Jing replied truthfully, "Mama Liu and the little girl were very happy, and asked with a smile: Did Miss Luo Yan make a fortune, why is she so generous today." ”

Miss Luo Yan smiled and said, "I will make a fortune!" I won't forget you then! ”

Speaking of this, Lian Jing also felt that something was wrong, he vaguely felt that things were a little strange, and hurriedly said to Ying Qi: "Your Majesty, go back immediately!" ”

......

The Marquis Mansion of Changping is brightly lit everywhere. It's just that there is no Luo Yan in Biqing Courtyard, there is no Zhou in Yuexiu Courtyard, and in the whole house, only Yiguang, an unaware master, is embroidering Xipa under the lamp.

I asked all over the house, and I only got one sentence from the porter: In the evening, as soon as you went out, Mrs. took Miss Luo Yan into the carriage, and I don't know where I went.

Lian Jing suddenly felt that his legs were a little weak, and he encouraged him to support him and get on the horse, galloping all the way, his chest was like boiling water!

Why are these two nasty women together?

Where did they go? What are you going to do?!

Is the Zhou family harboring evil intentions? Or is it Luo Yan who is in the same stream?!

But

Luo Yan ...... You can't be fine......

******

The moon is sparse, and an inconspicuous canopy boat is docked by the river.

The river wind is blowing, wantonly agitating the wide cloak of those who travel far away.

"Luo Yan, I'll send you here, this is some property, you can use it in the future. This old shipman is my cronie, you can rest assured that his daughter will take care of your food and daily life all the way. After arriving on the other side, I can't help with it. ”

Luo Yan bowed to the Zhou family very seriously, "Thank you, madam, Luo Yan will say goodbye, and in the future, Luo Yan will remember Mrs. Kindness!" ”

With that, he turned and stepped onto the awning boat.

Zhou looked at the boat that was rocking farther and farther, and breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, right and wrong are never absolute, she just wants to have a clear conscience.

Luo Yan looked at the riverbank that was drifting farther and farther away, and reluctance suddenly rose in her heart, obviously there was no one to be nostalgic for there, what was she reluctant to do?

A night of sailing, unfazed.

The boat was bumpy, Luo Yan didn't sleep well, and as soon as it was dawn, she got up. Standing at the bow of the boat, blowing the cool and moist river breeze, looking at the magnificent sunrise, my heart is more calm and relaxed.

The boatman's daughter, Xiaoping, poked her head out of the cabin, a smile like the morning sun on her round face.

"Girl, you're about to get to the North Shore, get ready!"

Luo Yan also smiled back, "Wait a while, do you want to watch the sunrise with me?" ”

Xiaoping frowned in embarrassment, this river is her home, she has watched the sunrise thousands of times, it is really not attractive! But she is not very good at rejecting others, especially such a beautiful and amiable young lady.

So the round face was tangled into a young and shy little wild chrysanthemum. Luo Yan walked over, smoothed the beautiful eyebrows, and chuckled: "If you don't like it, you have to say it, people who care about you will never embarrass you, why should people who don't care about you be embarrassed?" ”

Xiaoping was a little dizzy, Luo Yan gently pinched the round little face, smiled and turned around again.

As the sun leaped above the horizon, a large ship slowly approached to block Luo Yan's view. In confusion, a young man dressed in a silver silk dragon pattern brocade robe came against the light and stood condescendingly opposite her. By this time, the sun had gradually risen, and the golden light shrouded him, as if the gods had descended.

It's just that this "god" is in a bad mood.

……

At this time, on the bank of Jiangbei, there was also a young man standing.

He looked at the independent figure on the small boat, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and his heart suddenly beat fast......
