Chapter 176 The Past Is Like Smoke

"Girl Lan, listen to the meaning of your words, could it be that you have already made a marriage with whom? Or is Lu Servant already ready to marry you to? The old body is a little curious, and I want to ask which son's son can have this blessing. ”

After all, in that era, the marriage between men and women pays attention to "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker", so Wu Guomu asked Lu Lan this question. As for free love in modern society, in that era, it belonged to "private life", which was not allowed by the social system at that time, otherwise Zhuo Wenjun of the Western Han Dynasty would not have made such a big reputation. And with Lu Lan's well-behaved and sensible behavior in Wu Guomu, Wu Guomu also believes that Lu Lan will not engage in that kind of "private life" foolish thing.

Lu Lan at this end was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, Xiaolan has not made a relationship with anyone, and he has not said who he wants to marry Xiaolan Xu to." ”

"What?"

At this point, Wu Guomu's face changed slightly. It is rumored that Lu Lan is Lu Ren's forbidden body, and at the beginning, even Wu Guomu thought so. However, this old lady is from the past, and after spending a little time with Lu Lan, she immediately found that Lu Lan was still a little girl who was finished, so she scoffed at those rumors in the market. But now that she said that, Lu Lan had such an attitude, and Wu Guomu was also a little skeptical that she had made a mistake.

But what a smart little girl is Lu Lan? Seeing that Wu Guomu's face changed slightly, he knew that Wu Guomu must have misunderstood something, so he hurriedly explained to Wu Guomu: "Old lady, don't misunderstand. In fact, Xiaolan will be the way she is now, because Xiaolan is a little different from ordinary women's situations. ”

Wu Guomu's face softened slightly, and asked, "So...... What's different about you, girl? ”

Lu Lan didn't answer directly, but the shy smile of a girl at the beginning appeared on her face again, and people seemed to be recalling something: "I remember that year, Xiaolan wandered and begged with Ziliang and Zizhen in the Puyang area. However, at that time, the Puyang area was due to the war between Cao Gong and Lu Bu. Everywhere was in ruins, so that the three of us were weak children who could not find anything to eat for many days. Until the end, Xiaolan and Zizhen were starving and fainted, leaving only Ziliang with some strength, and finally decided to go to the local tunzhong to steal some food and come back. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Xiaolan and Zizhen will starve to death. ”

Wu Guomu didn't speak, just sighed. To be honest, Wu Guomu is also a person who has experienced war, and naturally knows how pitiful those homeless people who have nothing to eat are in the war.

looked at Lu Lan again and continued: "What happened to Ziliang at that time, Xiaolan didn't know at the time, because Xiaolan had already fainted from hunger at that time. And because she was so hungry, Xiaolan gritted her teeth and endured it desperately, so that anyone who wanted to use a spoon to feed Xiaolan soup porridge couldn't feed it. ”

Wu Guomu looked at Lu Lan in surprise. The old lady is old and well-informed. Knowing that if a person is hungry to that extent, I am afraid that he is not far from death, but now that Lu Lan is sitting here, of course he is not dead, so he is also a little curious about how Lu Lan was rescued at that time.

And when Lu Lan said this, the smile on her face was a little thicker: "Xiaolan will never forget that at that time, someone pinched Xiaolan's cheeks, making Xiaolan's clenched teeth gradually loosen." And then, and then ......"

"And then?" Wu Guomu was a little anxious when she heard this.

Lu Lan's pretty face turned red and red, and then she smiled astringently: "That person is holding the soup porridge in his mouth." Mouth-to-mouth, he reluctantly fed the soup porridge to Xiaolan. It was those mouthfuls of soup porridge that rescued the dying Xiaolan again. Old lady, Xiaolan was only nine years old that year. ”

Wu Guomu understood, and said in surprise: "The 'person' you are talking about is actually Lu Servant, right?" ”

Lu Lan nodded: "Since then, Xiao Lan has followed the adults as a maid. It's just that although she is called a maid. But the adults never treated Xiaolan as an ordinary maid. Don't say anything else, just say that Xiaolan's singing and dancing rhythms, piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, all of which were taught to Xiaolan by adults. It can be said that if it weren't for the teachings of adults, although Xiaolan today has a bit of beauty, at best she is just a vulgar fan who can't get into the eyes of the old lady. Again. The adult is so kind to Xiaolan that Xiaolan doesn't know how to repay the adult. ”

Wu Guomu nodded approvingly: "Good boy, this is a good child." ”

At this point, Wu Guomu suddenly reacted and exclaimed: "Lan girl, do you mean you?" ”

Lu Lan's mouth was a little bitter, and she shook her head a little gloomily and said, "My lord, what is his identity?" Even if Xiaolan is naughty and naughty, she also knows that Xiaolan is not worthy of an adult at all. In fact, at the beginning, because the adults had long had the intention of retreating, they had long been ready to find a good family for Xiaolan, so that the adults could also walk with peace of mind when they returned to seclusion. And at that time, the adults were preparing to hand over Xiaolan to Cao Gong's eldest son, Cao Ang Cao Zixiu. It's just that Xiaolan was still young at that time and didn't understand these things very well, but it was only when she got older that she gradually figured it out. ”

Wu Guomu muttered: "Cao Gong's eldest son, Cao Ang, Cao Zixiu? Well, the old body has heard of it. However, he later died in Wancheng...... And what about later? ”

Lu Lan said: "After Cao Zixiu died, this plan of the adults was naturally abandoned. As for some other characters, adults don't worry about entrusting Xiaolan to the past, so when Xiaolan and Qian, this matter was delayed. It is rumored in the market that Xiaolan is forbidden in the adult's room, but in fact, it is really a misunderstanding of the adult. I think that the adult was busy with government affairs when he was in Xudu, and so many things happened before and after, so he was still too busy to take care of himself, so how could he take care of Xiaolan's affairs? ”

These words are okay, but when Lu Lan said the sentence "Xiaolan is forbidden in the adult's room", Wu Guomu noticed that Lu Lan's expression did not even change for a moment, without the slightest fluctuation, obviously Lu Lan did not care about these rumors at all. Judging from this situation, either Lu Lan is thick-skinned to a certain extent, or Lu Lan is open-minded. In contrast, Wu Guomu believed that Lu Lan must be the latter, and she felt a lot more relieved because of this.

At this time, Lu Lan was still talking: "Old lady, you must have understood that Xiaolan's mind is on the adult, but Xiaolan is not the kind of woman who is not ashamed. If not so many things happened at the beginning, and then the adults gave Xiaolan to marry someone, Xiaolan would naturally keep the duty of a woman's family. ”

At this point, Lu Lan's expression darkened again: "But things are often unexpected...... Old lady, you should have heard of Sister Wan'er, right? ”

Wu Guomu nodded slowly: "Of course I've heard of it." I remember that at the beginning, someone once jokingly called Miss Wan'er, the maid next to Lu Servant, but in fact, she was a veritable flower of Xudu, but it was a pity that ......"

Lu Lan lowered her head and said softly, "Old lady, you don't understand how important Sister Wan'er is in the hearts of adults. And after Sister Wan'er died...... The original adult was unruly and uninhibited, but after Sister Wan'er died, the adult seemed to have completely changed as a person. Xiaolan has always been by the side of adults, and she knows better than anyone how uncomfortable adults feel in their hearts. Whenever she sees the adults and he is haggard day by day, Xiaolan's heart is also uncomfortable. Maybe it was from that time that Xiaolan secretly swore in her heart that she wanted to stay by the adult's side like Sister Wan'er, until the adult refused to ask Xiaolan. ”

“…… What does this make the old body say about you? Should you say you're a really good boy, or should you say you're a stupid boy? ”

Lu Lan shook her head silently: "Good or stupid, Xiaolan has never regretted the decision she made." Speaking of which, the adult also understands Xiaolan's thoughts, but do you know what the adult he used to say? ”

"What did Lu Servant say?"

Lu Lan recalled the conversation at the Water Mirror Academy, and said softly: "My lord, he said that he didn't want Xiaolan to become another Wan'er sister. In addition, the adult also clearly told Xiaolan that Xiaolan would have such thoughts, not necessarily because she really liked adults, maybe it was more because Xiaolan wanted to repay her kindness to adults. Adult, he didn't want to mistake Xiaolan's life because of Xiaolan's heart of repaying her kindness. So in the end, the adult said to Xiaolan that before Xiaolan really figured out whether she liked or repaid her kindness, the adults would not touch Xiaolan, and if Xiaolan really met someone she really liked, he would give Xiaolan freedom and let Xiaolan choose her life's trust. ”

Wu Guomu was completely stunned. As a person who pays attention to ancient etiquette, it is difficult for her to understand why Lu Ren made such a decision, but she is not completely incomprehensible. Or these things between Lu Ren and Lu Lan are some beyond the scope of Wu Guomu's moral outlook, but Wu Guomu can't say what is wrong with this.

After a long time, Wu Guomu shook her head and sighed lightly: "In this way, you are already ten years old but you insist on not marrying, just want to stay by Lu Fu'er's side like Wan'er at the beginning?" ”

Lu Lan nodded: "Yes." Maybe staying by the side of adults like this, Xiaolan will one day understand whether she really likes adults, or just has a heart to repay adults. Maybe it will drag on for ten or twenty years, and maybe even never marry, but Xiaolan will not regret it. ”

At this point, Lu Lan's words changed sharply, and he said in a firm tone: "However, if one day the adult really has to marry Xiaolan because of some need, Xiaolan will never complain." The size is as heavy as a mountain to Xiao Lan's death, and it is difficult for Xiao Lan to repay one of them for his death, how can he spoil the adult's major affairs for Xiao Lan's own selfishness?
