Chapter 210, I just want to escape
"That's pretty much it." Lan Shang let go of his hand and got down from Chen Shangshan, Chen Shangshan grabbed his hair and smiled like a dog: "They all said that you will become a water god in the future, in that case, I can't marry you." ”
"I'm not a water god." Six-year-old Lan Shang craned her neck and said, "My aunt is the god of water, although others are respectful to her, but she is not happy at all, she is bored at home every day." ”
After saying that, she lowered her head and grabbed Chen Shangshan's collar, and said viciously: "If you marry me in the future, you are not allowed to have a concubine!" ”
"Huh? My father has seven concubines, shouldn't I, as a son, be better than the blue? ”
Lan Sheng heard that she was angry again, although she didn't understand the affairs of men and women, her possessiveness did not allow her to share Chen Shangshan with others. She directly pushed Chen Shangshan to the ground, but he was also the son of a city lord, but he was fiercely suppressed by Lan Shangshan, Chen Shangshan actually hated Lan Shang very much in his heart, although she looked more beautiful than other little girls, but he didn't want to marry her when he grew up, such a rude girl, he had to think about being a concubine for him.
The two did not reach an agreement on whether to take a concubine in the end, and later the city lord of Bailuo City invited Chen Shangshan to teach his master, and Chen Shangshan was locked up at home all day long, and he didn't know how many whips he ate and finally accepted his temperament. Although they are both in Bailuo City, the chances of him and Lan Shang meeting have become very rare, and even if they do, they have nothing to say.
On Chen Shangshan's fourteenth birthday, Lan Shang's aunt died, but at the age of nineteen, the people of Bailuo City said that she was married to the river god's mansion to be the river god's wife. At the funeral, most of the people in Bailuo City went to Lan Shang's house, Lan Sheng knelt in the corner, and the flames in the brazier in front of her reflected her expressionless face, faintly terrifying.
Chen Shangshan also came, looking at her from a distance, he wanted to walk over to comfort her, but the child is so awkward, obviously it was so good when he was younger, but he suddenly felt embarrassed when he grew up to such an age, he looked at her, but he couldn't move his legs to say something to her, even if it was just to say hello.
Of course, these are just Lan Shang's imagination, Chen Shangshan came to the funeral that day, did he think about comforting her, and then he knew it, but she also saw him, she waited for him to come and greet her, but until everyone left, he didn't come.
Lan Shang's aunt's coffin was sunk into the river, Chen Shangshan came again, Lan Shang stood by the river, wearing plain white clothes, snow-white face, dark eyes, she had a cold and dusty temperament at a young age, as if she really wanted to ride the wind in the sassy river wind, the people of Bailuo City looked at her and discussed, this little girl, sooner or later, she will become the water god of Bailuo City.
Lan Shang ran away when she heard these words, she didn't want to be the god of water, she didn't want to die at the age of nineteen!
She ran for a long, long time, Bailuo City is not big, but she ran for so long and didn't run out, and finally lost her strength, she found herself running to the river again, this river that is said to live and protect the river god of Bailuo City, is still flowing slowly, and her beautiful aunt has disappeared into this river forever.
She crouched by the river and cried loudly, her crying was torn apart by the river wind, and the night melted between heaven and earth like thick ink, and she cried so that her eyes were red and swollen, and she raised her head and lay down in the grass.
Suddenly heard the sound of something entering the water, she sat up suddenly, only to see Chen Shangshan half-squatting beside her, his hand still maintaining the posture of throwing things into the river, seeing her look over, he withdrew his hand, and went to the river to wash again, she asked, "Why are you here?" ”
He had unconsciously grown into a young man with outstanding eyebrows and eyes, even though it was very dark, she could still see that he was wearing a brocade blue robe, his dark eyes were looking at her, and his sword eyebrows were slightly condensed, "There was a snake next to you just now." ”
Lan Shang was stunned for a moment, and then let out a scream, Chen Shangshan covered his ears and said, "Your father and mother are looking for you, why did you come here alone?" ”
"I feel sorry for my aunt, and I feel sorry for myself." Lan Shang shrunk into a small ball, buried her head in the middle of her knees, and whispered.
Chen Shangshan sat down beside her, seemed to hesitate for a long time, and finally reached out and touched her head, but he didn't say anything, Lan Sheng knew that he didn't speak because he also felt that she would be the future water god, and she would go down the same path as her aunt.
However, she couldn't help but ask him, "Didn't you say you would marry me?" If you marry me, I won't be the god of water. ”
She is already twelve years old, and she has come to Kwai Shui for the first time, and the grandmother of the family should tell her, she knows that as long as she marries, she will not become a water god.
"How long has it been, do you still remember, Tong Yan Wuji, how can you take it seriously?"
Six years ago, Lan Shang replied in her heart. She buried her head back in her knees, grief heavier than her aunt's death hanging over her.
It turns out that so much time has passed, and it turns out that it is all childish words.
Chen Shangshan sent Lan Sheng home, and when he left, she grabbed his sleeve and asked him, "Can I still go to play with you in the future?" ”
Chen Shangshan smiled, touched her head much more naturally this time, and said gently: "Of course you can." ”
He turned to leave, and after many years, she still remembered the brocade blue robe he wore that night, the blue was very gentle, just like the smile and voice he had left that night, gently, like a warm and soft quilt, wrapping her.
Chen Shangshan's concubines who were set when he was a child have all married one after another, no one takes what he said when he was a child seriously, but Lan Sheng still remembers it, she went to Chen's house to find Chen Shangshan, Chen Shangshan followed her master to study, she lay on the roof to watch him, occasionally he would raise his head to look at her, smile, and the sound of reading became louder, as if he was reading to her, and she followed him to memorize a lot of books.
After the master left, she jumped into the yard, Chen Shangshan was writing by the bookcase, he taught her to study ink, his hand was on the back of her hand, the movement was gentle, she suddenly blushed, the breath he exhaled was in her neck, itchy, she turned her head slightly to look at him, Chen Shangshan also looked at her, and asked her with a smile: "What's wrong?" Will it? ”
She nodded, he let go of his hand, returned to the bookcase, took the pen and wrote, she finished grinding the ink, and watched him finish writing a whole page with gusto, the twilight closed from the sky, the whole room was plated with a warm layer of gold, she was in a trance like a dream, stood on tiptoe, and pecked him in the face.
He raised his head suddenly, looked at her in shock, she stared at him with round eyes, the two looked at each other for a moment, Chen Shangshan suddenly blushed, and said, "You, what are you doing?" ”
Lan Sheng thought that if the eight-year-old Chen Shangshan was kissed by herself, he would never have this reaction, it seems that the master has taught him to be very decent in the past few years.
She left the Chen family, Chen Shangshan said that he wanted to send her back, she refused, in fact, she has always been better than Chen Shangshan to fight, although she has not learned martial arts, but Bailuocheng and her average big child, none of them can beat her. Therefore, even if she walks alone at night, she is not afraid at all.
When she returned home, her father told her about her aunt, aunt was the glory of their family, the glory of Bailuo City, and she would become such a person in the future.
Lan Shang picked up the rice grains and remained silent, but she was thinking about how to make Chen Shangshan really like herself.
She secretly ran to the Peony Courtyard and learned how the girls inside charmingly hooked people with their eyes, what to say to make men happy, and what to do to make men fall in love with her.
Later, I went to see Chen Shangshan, it was already late autumn, she was wearing a thin spring shirt, revealing a large piece of snow-white skin on her chest, remembering that the sisters in the Peony Courtyard had a magnificent chest on her chest, she looked down at her flat chest, and then removed the quilt at home and stuffed it into her pocket.
In the mirror, her face was too plain, and her eyebrows were already very delicate, but she still painted her eyebrows into two thick and thick ones with powder, smeared rouge on her cheeks, and went to Chen's house half-covered.
Chen Shangshan was frightened when he saw her appearance, and directly took her to let the maid at home wash her, and found a thicker clothes for her to change, Lan Shang sat awkwardly opposite him, Chen Shangshan looked at her helplessly, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I want you to like me." Lan Sheng replied very directly, "Why don't you tell me directly, how do you want to like me?" ”
Chen Shangshan stroked his forehead and said, "Are you because you are not like your aunt, or do you really like me?" ”
Lan Shang pursed her lips, "I don't want to be like my aunt." ”
"Since this is the reason, no one will agree to marry you."
Lan Sheng held back her tears, stood up, and said, "I know." ”
After that, Lan Shang didn't go to see Chen Shangshan for a long time, and later, she heard that Chen Shangshan's father went to the Xia family with a dowry gift.
The Xia family is the family of merchants in Bailuo City, and the ancestors of the Xia family once established the Qiushui Gang on the Bailuo River, and later lost, the descendants of the Xia family began to do business wholeheartedly, and accumulated a lot of family business over the past hundred years. The Xia family has only one daughter in the family, named Xia Yu, although her appearance is more ordinary, she is also a gentle and virtuous lady. Chen Shangshan's father had already planned this family affair for him, and the Xia family was also very satisfied, so they quickly settled down, and when Chen Shangshan and the crown were born, the two became married.
When Lan Shang learned the news, the clan had already decided that she would be the water god of the second year, and the girl who was chosen to be the water god after her aunt was only eighteen years old when she died.
Lan Shang felt that things were very bizarre, it was rumored that after the sacrifice of the twenty maidens, the longest-lived water god in Bailuo City was only twenty-seven years old, and she thought that she might only have a few years to live, so she packed her luggage and prepared to leave Bailuo City.
That night, Lan Shang escaped from her home and put on a veil to take a boat, and the boatman asked her where she was going, and she had already planned to go to Yuzhen next door.
After a day and a night on the boat, Lan Shang finally came to Yuzhen, she brought a lot of silver taels from home, but she didn't plan to settle in Yuzhen, so it would be easy to be found by the people of Bailuo City.
