Chapter 10: Elopement

"What do you mean? Hey, what about you! Xiao Yahuan didn't know why, and shouted loudly at the backs of Tan Yi and the others.

"Chunmei, don't call, let's go." The woman in white was thoughtful, staring at the chessboard for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have an understanding, and whispered to Xiao Yahuan.

"What? Don't wait for the vacancy? The little girl was stunned for a moment - the young man was out of the way to block things, since he didn't win the miss, then in the end, the empty Zen master still had to come out to fight, and he left, wouldn't it be a failure?

"Don't wait, this game is over." Although the woman in white had a soft voice, her tone was very resolute, and she turned her head to look in the direction where Tan Yi and the others were descending the mountain.

With a soft click, a stone was thrown from the courtyard and fell to the ground, awakening the young man's mind from his memory.

Groping around, he picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and threw it into the courtyard, and the same faint sound came from the courtyard, and the young man got up from the ground, felt the wooden door, and pressed his ear to the door panel to listen to the movement inside.

"Brother Yi, is that you?" The woman's voice was very low, and her voice trembled slightly, with joy and nervousness.

"It's me, Li'er." The young man outside the door hurriedly replied.

The slight sound was made by the collision between the iron lock and the door panel when the door lock was opened, the sound was very small, but it sounded very harsh to the two inside and outside the door, and every collision made their hearts skip a beat.

Squeaked, I don't know how long it took, I don't know how long the wooden door that had not been opened was finally opened, and the moonlight was cast from the courtyard, and the slender figure of a young woman appeared on the ground.

"Brother Yi", the two hugged each other tightly and whispered to each other excitedly.

After a moment of intimacy, the young man reluctantly loosened his arm a little, "Are you really willing to go with me, no regrets?" He asked very seriously.

"Stupid words, it's all like this, what else do you regret or not, I don't care, anyway, I'm relying on you in this life." The young woman said coquettishly.

"Huh." The young man smiled happily, "Let's go, the carriage is at the intersection, and it will be safe when you get there." He said.

"Hmm." The young woman answered, turned around, and looked silently at the courtyard behind her for a while, and finally sighed softly, stretched out her hand to pull the door shut, and followed the young scholar to the end of the road under the cover of night.

The day dawned, the sun showed its outline from the eastern horizon, the early birds had insects to eat, and in the chirping, the people of Jiangfu also began a new day's work, carrying water, cooking, sweeping the floor, each with their own busy work, everything seemed to be in order, no different from the previous days.

"Oh no!" Suddenly, the woman's screams broke the quiet morning, and the busy people invariably turned their eyes to the direction from which the sound came from—where the women in the backyard of the Jiang Mansion lived.

A family member in charge of the security of the house heard the cry and hurriedly ran over, but saw a little girl running out of the young lady's boudoir in a panic, holding an envelope in her hand, her face was pale, and she was so anxious that she was at a loss.

"Chunmei, what's wrong? What's going on?! Recognizing this little girl as Miss's personal ring, the leader asked hurriedly.

"Miss...... miss is gone!" Chunmei's lips trembled in a hurry, and she couldn't even speak, and it took a lot of effort to finally explain the important part.

"What? What's going on?! The family leader who took the lead was so frightened that his head grew when he understood - the young lady disappeared when he was on duty, can the old lady of the Jiang family spare himself?

"Don't ask, look for it, you go to Miss, I'll go see the master!" Chunmei was finally not in a hurry, knowing that this kind of thing could not be told to the family, so she answered, and ran to the front yard in a panic, the family did not know why, but they also knew that the top priority was to find the young lady first, and then they immediately scattered around, looking for a possible hiding place for the young lady everywhere in the house.

The house was so noisy that even the most lazy people were woken up, and people who didn't know why walked out of the room while wearing their clothes, asking what was going on.

After Chunmei left the young lady's boudoir, she stumbled all the way to the east courtyard, and met Jiang Dingshan, the eldest master of the Jiang family, and also Jiang Li'er's father.

"Shouting and screaming, what a system! What's wrong? Chunmei cried while running, her hair was scattered, her voice was hoarse, Jiang Dingshan frowned slightly, his face was displeased, and he shouted in a deep voice.

was scolded by Jiang Dingshan, Chunmei was a little sober, "Master, it's not good, Miss, Miss she's gone!" ”

"What?" Hearing that his daughter was gone, Jiang Dingshan Xiang was hit on the head, his body shook, and his face immediately darkened, and finally he was determined, but he calmed down after a slight gaffe, "Say, what's the matter?" He asked.

"......, in the morning, I went into Miss's boudoir to serve her to freshen up, but when I entered the house, I found that the window of the room was open, Miss was not in the house, and the letter was on the table." Replying, Chunmei handed the envelope she was holding to Jiang Dingshan.

Jiang Dingshan took the envelope and looked down, the envelope was indeed his daughter's handwriting, 'Father personally opened'.

Caring about nothing else, Jiang Dingshan hurriedly tore open the envelope and poured out the letter inside and unfolded it.

"Father

My brother and I really love each other, and we have already made a private decision for life, if you are not married, if you are not a king, you will not marry, but you can't get permission from your parents, your heart is like a knife, and you don't want to live. For lifelong happiness, now follow Brother Yi away from the capital, wander the world, find a secluded place, start a family, farm and weave, have children, and be a pair of fairy couples. There is no time to go, I don't know when I can return to the capital, serve my parents in front of the bed, the grace of nurturing, it is difficult to hope for life, only to beg for blessings to the moon every night, hope that my parents are in good health, and enjoy the life of the world, there are a thousand words, a piece of paper is difficult to express, stop writing and crying, kowtow and bow.

Unfilial daughters and children"

The letter is very short, but everything that should be said has been said, after reading the letter, Jiang Dingshan's face is red for a while, blue for a while, white for a while, his breathing turns urgent, anger rises from his heart, evil grows to the side of his gall, and his teeth are clucking!

"Jiang An, Jiang An!" In a fit of rage, he shouted loudly - Jiang An is the big housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion, and he is in charge of all the big and small affairs of the Jiang Mansion.

The eldest lord was angry, who dared not to be afraid, someone immediately ran to find someone, and after a while, Jiang An hurried over, "Lord, what do you command." He asked in a low voice.

"Immediately send someone to chase out from the four gates of the capital to find Li'er, and after finding it, bring it back immediately! If you dare to be disobedient, tie me back! Jiang Dingshan issued an order sharply.
