Chapter 2: The Tiger Chick (Part 4I)
The neighing of horses from people outside the window was disturbing, 'What's the matter!' It's just that he moved to Honghua, but he made the posture like sending troops to fight! As for it, such a big move! Wan'er's heart was confused, and the embroidery needle was crooked again, and through the bandage, it pierced straight into her fingers. Blood and tears rolled out at the same time, she threw down the bandage, stretched her fingers to her lips aggrievedly, and was about to suck with her mouth, but a white handkerchief was stretched out next to her.
"Sister, I'll help you!" The owner of the handkerchief exclaimed with a bit of coquettishness.
"Take it away, who will use you for your courtesy!" Li Wan'er scolded loudly, as if the reason for the piercing of the hand came from the owner of the handkerchief. "Squire, go and shout outside the door, let them make less movement. Those who can do the work will work, and those who can't do it will get out of the way! β
The last half of the sentence she said to the maid at the door, she had never seen the master send such a big little maid to say yes, and the frightened mouse ran out against the wall. Soon the noise in the yard abruptly stopped, and at the same time there was a small sobbing from the house.
Wan'er turned her head and looked at her half-sister Li Qian with some embarrassment. Qi'er, who is one year younger than Shimin, has just been taken from her hometown to Huaiyuan Town by her father's order, and the whole person is still immersed in the excitement of reuniting with her family. She didn't expect her half-sister who had always been good to her to suddenly become cold, no matter how she bent to greet her, she couldn't get the other party's good face. The smell of blood filled her mouth, and Wan'er sucked her fingers hard, not knowing what to say to comfort her sister. She didn't mean to hurt her daughter, she could swear to God that she had never had the intention of bullying her sister. Although even if she was deliberately bullied, no one could do anything to her. is also the daughter of Tang Gong, the identity gap between the child who is out and the child who is out of the concubine is like heaven and earth, no unsightly servant woman will go to Mrs. Dou to report her grievances for a concubine's daughter, and Li Yuan'er herself will not have the courage to sue her sister in front of her father.
Li Qi's hands are very skillful, and the peony she embroidered is even more delicate after being wet with tears. That is Li Wan'er's new wedding dress, the custom in her hometown, if the bride's wedding dress is hand-embroidered by her own sisters, it will bless her with a happy life. Gently wiping away her tears, her slender white fingers continued to shuttle on the bandage, and there was no longer a sobbing sound in the room, but every time the embroidery needle was pricked, it seemed to be pierced in Li Wan'er's heart.
"I, I didn't mean to. I'm just upset! Wan'er approached her sister and gently hugged her shoulder. This obvious gesture of favor frightened Qi'er's body twitched, and after being sure that there was no harm, a pair of watery eyes slowly turned around.
"My sister didn't mean it, I'm going to get married, my heart is messy, don't take it to heart." Li Wan'er barely pretended to smile, but she felt aggrieved for no reason. Qi'er was picked up by her father to prepare to win over the stupid boy, and Shimin's companion in the future will be her. If it weren't for His Majesty the Emperor's sudden decree ordering his father to go to Honghua, and the stupid boy also happened to go to Ma Yanshui, she would have been like herself at that time, happily watching the young man on the black horse sweating like rain.
"I know, the second sister is reluctant to father and aunt!" Li Qing'er smiled kindly, and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes. Before coming to Huaiyuan, her mother, who had fallen out of favor, kept telling her not to conflict with several brothers and sisters who were coming out. "Mother knows that such a request has wronged you, but this is your life. Who made you choose your mother's belly when you were reincarnated! Your father can suddenly think of you among more than a dozen brothers and sisters, it is already your creation, you have to cherish it, don't be unable to get on the stage! β
In order to behave on stage, she must be careful everywhere and not take a wrong step or say the wrong word. When others laugh, she must laugh with her, and when others are unhappy, she can't show the slightest happy gesture. As for why her father suddenly began to favor herself, Li Qi'er didn't dare to ask. What else can a concubine ask for, and being able to occupy a position as big as a nail in her father's heart is already a blessing that has been cultivated for many years.
"It's not just reluctant, but my heart is very chaotic anyway, and it suddenly becomes empty, and it is very full all of a sudden!" Wan'er sighed and said in a low voice.
"I heard people say" Qi'er looked around carefully, and found that no one would eavesdrop, so she lowered her voice and revealed to her sister, "Chai Gongzi is very handsome, both civil and military, and used to be one of the most trusted arms of His Royal Highness the Prince!" When he went hunting with His Royal Highness the Prince, he once killed a tiger with his bare hands! β
It was rare for my sister to be able to tell her what was on her mind, and the little girl immediately threw the grievances in her heart out of the clouds. Under the big eyes of Shui Lingling, her little face turned into a peach blossom color, as if it was not Wan'er who was about to marry, but herself.
"Don't listen to other people's tongue chewing!" Wan'er's arms tightened, causing her sister to grin. This is not the way girls should express their feelings, but it makes Qian'er's heart suddenly become very warm. The little girl leaned her body towards her sister's arms, raised her face and said, "But people do say so, and they also say that the second sister, you and Chai Gongzi are talented and beautiful, just like the golden boy and jade girl under the seat of the Queen Mother of the West!" β
"Have you ever seen a jade girl who can only pick up a knife and a gun, but can't pick up a needle?" Li Wan'er took a sip with a smile and asked rhetorically. She is a little envious of her sister, the little girl is innocent and belongs to the age of fantasy about marriage. And what I think about in my heart is all reality! Suddenly, Wan'er found that she was a little old, as if she was much older than her real age. The smile slowly began to freeze on her face again, little by little to freeze.
"Two-sister, what's wrong with you?" Li Qian keenly felt the change in her sister's mood, and her pure eyes were full of uneasiness.
It was a look that Wan'er couldn't bear to hurt, although when she thought of something, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't wait to find someone to fight. Brother Zhong Jian wants to marry her, and Brother Zhong Jian wants to protect her for the rest of her life! But Brother Zhongjian had clearly promised to protect me at that time, but he didn't believe it! He.......
Wan'er felt bitter in her heart, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She reached out and wiped two handfuls vigorously, blocking the source of the tears by the way. The salty taste poured down the nostrils into the throat, making the mouth full of bitterness, as if I had just drunk a large bowl of tears.
"Second sister, you don't like Chai Gongzi, do you?" Li Qing'er was completely frightened, shrunk up, and asked uneasily.
"I haven't seen him again, how can I say I like it or not!" Li Wan'er shook her head and sighed back. If you like it, what if you don't like it, can you still set up a strong enemy for the Li family at this juncture? This marriage has been proved by countless princes of the same status as their father, and if either party breaks the marriage, the two families will have a grudge that cannot be resolved for several lifetimes. And the Li family has just climbed out of the trough and cannot allow any more trouble.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if Daddy really loves himself, what if he takes the initiative to dissolve this marriage contract. Li Wan'er looked at the floating clouds outside the window and sighed in a low voice. The ignorant country boy never said that he liked himself, and he didn't know if he liked him.
"The second sister turned out to be worried!" Li Qian guessed smartly, "Don't be afraid, a beautiful woman like the second sister, which man would not pity it." Besides, Dad loves you so much, he won't let you marry a guy who has no interest! β
"Little guy, don't guess, you'll understand when you grow up!" Wan'er stretched out her finger and poked her sister lightly on the forehead.
Growing up, the word itself used to dream. Now I find that growing up is not a happy thing. If you are at the age of Ying'er, you will have a lot of time to squander. The ignorant guy will also have plenty of time to consider whether he likes him or not, and he will also have plenty of time to make a difference. When his wings are full enough to enjoy a piece of blue sky to himself, the two of them will have one more choice.
But now, he is far from growing up. And he is seventeen years old, to the age when he has to get married. He can continue to be ignorant, but his youth can no longer be consumed.
Li Wan'er suddenly felt that God was so unfair, so unfair. When a man reaches the age of eighteen, he can still be called a teenager, and a woman who is unmarried at the age of eighteen is an old word. She looked at her with a little envy again, but found that her sister was holding her cheeks, thinking longingly.
She's looking forward to growing up! Wan'er guessed keenly. She felt a little sad in her heart, and faintly felt a little envious. Running her fingers through her sister's silky long hair, Wan'er asked in a low voice, "Xiaoqing, have you studied martial arts in the past few years, and can you ride a horse?" β
"Ugh!" Li Qian came back from her fantasy and replied in a panic: "No, I haven't learned." My mother said that when girls practice martial arts, their fingers will become thicker and their skeletons bigger! She looked at her sister, and suddenly realized that this was too reckless, and couldn't wait to remedy: "I said that my sister looks better after learning martial arts, but my mother does not allow me to compare with you!" β
"Silly boy!" Li Wan'er was amused by her sister's words, and sighed as she stroked the other party's hair.
"But when I came to Huaiyuan Town, the eldest brother and the second brother insisted on letting me practice martial arts. Forced me to pull my joints, kick my legs, and every time it hurts! Li Qian stuck out her tongue and complained playfully. However, after practicing martial arts, my heart is indeed very refreshing, and I don't even dream when I sleep! β
"You try your best to put your mind on martial arts training in the future!" Wan'er grabbed her sister's palm, and her words were full of love and pity. These hands are very soft, and there is no strength on their fingers at all. If you go to carry a knife and use a gun, I am afraid that it will be able to grind blood in less than an hour.
"You try to practice as much martial arts as possible in the future, it is very important for your happiness in the future!" Wan'er looked at the corner of her sister's blank eyes and whispered. If you marry such a gentle girl, you should live a happy life. The smile on her face grew thicker and thicker, as if she had once again seen the galloping black horse in the sun.
In the spring of that year, the dark horse passed everywhere, and there were flowers that fell all over the ground.
