Zhao happily entered the house and said to Liu Lanzhi: "I just received a letter from Taishou for my mother, and tomorrow Gongzi Lu will come to marry you." Why don't you make your clothes? Hurry up, don't miss the hour. ”

Liu Lanzhi didn't speak silently, hiding her face with a handkerchief and crying. She took out the glass-studded couch and placed it under the front window, holding scissors and rulers in her left hand and silk and silk in her right hand. In the morning, it is made into an embroidered skirt, and in the evening, it is made into a single shirt. At dusk, she was full of sorrow, and wept sadly at the thought that she would be married to-morrow.

Jiao Zhongqing didn't expect this unexpected change, so he asked the county magistrate for leave and asked to go home for the time being. He hadn't reached Liu's house yet, there were still about two or three miles to go, and he thought that Liu Lanzhi didn't listen to her and wanted to marry Lu Fan's son, and his heart was full of sadness. The horses that sat down also began to scream.

Chen Wu and Han Xuan didn't find Jiao Zhongqing, they remembered that Jiao Zhongqing was transferred to the county order mansion, and they were so anxious that they went to the county order mansion to look for him, but they didn't expect to find him.

Outside Liujiazhuang, Liu Lanzhi was familiar with the sound of the horse, put on her shoes and hurriedly walked out of the house to greet her. She was infinitely melancholy in her heart, and looked over from afar, knowing that it was Jiao Zhongqing who came to find her.

Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi met again, they were silent for a long time, Liu Lanzhi raised her hand and patted the saddle, and Jiao Zhongqing kept sighing. But this will only make each other more sad, Liu Lanzhi spoke first: "The world is impermanent. Since you left me, we still can't follow our wishes. It's just that you don't understand the reason for this. My biological parents and my own brother forced me to marry someone else, what hope do you have! ”

Jiao Zhongqing looked crying, but he laughed, laughing heartbreakingly. He said to Liu Lanzhi: "Congratulations on your ascension!" The rock is thick and square, and it has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Although Pu Wei is tenacious for a while, it can be broken overnight. Lu Taishou won the trust of the Marquis of Chu, and the Lu family will definitely become a Jiangdong family. If you marry the eldest son of Taishou, your status will become more and more noble. Now I'm the only one who goes to Huangquan! ”

Liu Lanzhi was angry and sad: "I didn't expect you to say such a thing!" I am persecuted as you are, and my heart is tormented. I hope we will see you again under the Yellow Spring, and I hope you will not violate your oath today! ”

The two shook hands and said goodbye and parted ways, and each returned to his home. The two living people have to say goodbye to death, and they complain in their hearts where they can finish. They all want to die as soon as possible, and they don't want to live secretly.

Chen Wu and Han Xuan returned to Lu Mansion, but saw Huang Wudie helping Zhang Luo's marriage, Han Xuan asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why can't I be here? What kind of man is Jiao Zhongqing, he actually watched Lanzhi's sister being kicked out of the house. I said that Sister Laneige is a good family, what's wrong? Huang Wudie and Han Xuan argued.

Chen Wu didn't expect that it was Huang Wudie who told Liu Lanzhi to be the matchmaker, and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas...... Sister-in-law, you really hurt Liu Lanzhi this time! ”

Huang Wudie refused to believe it, but saw Chen Wu exclaim: "Not good, Han Xuan." Come with me to save people! ”

"Huh? Save? Han Xuan and Huang Wudie were both shocked, Chen Wu knew the ending of Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi, he hurriedly pulled Han Xuan to Jiao's mansion to save Jiao Zhongqing, and asked Huang Wudie to save Liu Lanzhi.

When Jiao Zhongqing returned to her home, she went to the church to say goodbye to her mother Pan: "Today's wind is strong and the weather is cold, the cold wind has broken the trees, and the thick frost has damaged the orchids in the courtyard. I am already at sunset today, and I will not be able to be with my mother for the rest of my life. I deliberately made such a bad intention, and asked my mother to stop resenting the ghosts and gods! I wish my mother a long life and good health. ”

When Pan heard this, he pointed at Jiao Zhongqing and cried and said, "You are a child of a big family, and you have been an official in the government and the Taiwan Pavilion. Don't look for a short term for a woman, your status is different, how can you be considered Bo Qing if you abandon her? There is a virtuous woman in the east, who is known as the best in the city, and I should go to ask for this marriage. I believe that a reply will be received soon. ”

Jiao Zhongqing bowed to his mother and then turned around and walked back, returning to the empty room and sighing. He made up his mind to seek death, and turned his head into the house, and the sorrow in his heart became tighter and tighter. Han Xuan and Chen Wu explained their intentions to Pan's family, and hurriedly broke open the door to stop Jiao Zhongqing, Chen Wu saw him walking towards the wall, and hurriedly pulled him down: "Brother Jiao, you can't find a short-term meeting!" ”

"General Chen misunderstood, I was thinking about life." Jiao Zhongqing said casually, and Han Xuan and Chen Wucai put their hearts at ease.

Huang Wudie hurriedly rushed to Liu Yuanwai's house, Huang Wudie saw Liu Lanzhi hiding her face and crying, she walked to Liu Lanzhi and sat down and held her hand and said: "Good sister, tomorrow is a good day for your wedding, why are you crying?" ”

"I hate myself, Jiao Lang doesn't betray the old feelings, but I marry someone else first. I'm failing him! Liu Lanzhi leaned on Huang Wudie's shoulder and cried.

Liu Lanzhi told Huang Wudie what Jiao Zhongqing said to her, and Huang Wudie picked up a bowl of stewed pig's trotters for her to eat, saying that it had the effect of beautifying and nourishing her face. Huang Wudie shook her head and asked, "Did he really say that?" It's too much! ”

Liu Lanzhi took a bite of the pig's trotters that were not stewed, put down the bowl and nodded silently, Huang Wudie couldn't help but sigh: "Men are all big pig's trotters!" Good sister, when you have a child, you will be able to understand my feelings. I am now strong to live for my two children. Good sister, you have a good rest, the team to welcome your relatives will come early tomorrow morning. ”

The next day, the cattle and horses near Liujiazhuang kept neighing, and Liu Lanzhi was married into Lu Shu's cyan tent. It was already dusk, and there was no sound all around.

"My life ends here, and my soul will remain for a long time." Liu Lanzhi pulled up her skirt and took off her silk shoes, jumped into the clear water pool and died. When Lu Shu came back, he couldn't find Liu Lanzhi everywhere, and saw Liu Lanzhi's body floating in the pool, so he hurriedly asked people to salvage it.

Lu Mansion, Lu Fan's face was pale, he didn't expect his eldest son's good marriage to be like this. This unlucky thing soon spread, and Jiao Zhongqing heard that Liu Lanzhi died of martyrdom, and he had no worries. So he came to the courtyard and wandered under the big tree for a while, but he still chose to hang the southeast branch by himself.

When Chen Wu and Han Xuan arrived at Jiao's mansion, they found that Jiao Zhongqing had hanged himself on a branch in the southeast of the courtyard. Chen Wu couldn't help but sigh, he still couldn't save this hard-working couple, their death was a tragedy of this era!

With the efforts of Chen Wu, Han Xuan, and Huang Wudie, the Jiao family and the Liu family still came to meet. Chen Wu proposed: "The love between Brother Jiao and Mrs. Liu is infectious, so it is better to bury the two of them together next to Huashan." It is also the fulfillment of their last wish! ”

Everyone present was sad and wept, and the two families followed Chen Wu's advice. The graves of Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi are planted with pine and cypress trees on the east and west sides, and plane trees on both sides. All kinds of branches and branches are covered with each other, and all kinds of leaves and leaves are connected. There is a pair of double flying birds in the middle, the bird's real name is Mandarin Duck, they raise their heads and chirp relatively, they have to chirp every night, until the fifth watch, passers-by can't help but stop watching and sighing.

On the way out of Lujiang, Huang Wudie and Han Xuan sat in the carriage and looked at each other speechlessly, Han Xuan couldn't help but peek at Huang Wudie, but he still held back. Chen Wu smiled and took Han Xuan's hand and put it on Huang Wudie's hand, and said to them: "Ten years of cultivation can cross the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can sleep together." Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi can't stay together because of the world, Han Xuan, you are the lord of Jiangdong and are not bound by the world, why don't you cherish your wife? The wife is still the original match! ”

Huang Wudie turned her head and said, "I'm afraid that someone is not as good as Jiao Zhongqing!" ”

"What do you say? Am I inferior to him? Joke. I'm not as cowardly as him, and I won't let my woman suffer a little grievance! ”

"Pity my Laneige sister, I only find a short-sighted sight because of the words of some thin lovers! Men are big pigs' trotters! ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for you women who betrayed their feelings first, how could we men be jealous and say such things?"

"Okay, okay, two classmates, don't argue. The topic comes back to this 'wife is still the original match'! Chen Wu saw that they couldn't stop arguing, so he hurriedly persuaded.

"You still say, who is your original partner?"

"That's right, is it Sister Wen Ji or that Ju Rong?" The two of them pointed the finger at Chen Wu for a while, and Chen Wucheng was the one who was educated.

The group headed towards Changsha, not noticing a beautiful butterfly waiting on a cocoon by the flowers and plants on the side of the road. When the morning dew was evaporated, the butterfly finally waited for it to break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly, and they both flew among the flowers and plants.........
