Chapter 24: Elopement
In the past few days, Xue Shang has gone out early and returned late, Li Nian only thinks that he is planning his own way out, and he has nothing to think about. So it was up to him to go.
On this day, Li Nian went to Qujiangchi with his friends to play, but Xue Shang shirked and didn't follow. Xue Shang called a carriage early in the morning, and Bao Chuan took Bai He into the carriage, and Bao Chuan's heart kept beating like a drum. The oil-walled car went all the way towards the Mingde Gate.
Bao Chuan's body was trembling slightly, Xue Shang gently held Bao Chuan's hand, he moved to Bao Chuan's side, and Bao Chuan leaned on the side of the carriage board. He knew the torment in Bao Chuan's heart, a lady who left everything behind and made a private agreement with him for life, as a man, he may not have the courage of her. In the real society that pays attention to the words of the matchmaker and the life of the parents, it is conceivable how much pressure Bao Chuan has to bear.
Xue Shang just said to her softly, "Bao'er, you still have me." Bao Chuan kept looking out the window, the curtain was tightly covered, only occasionally a few rays of light came in as the carriage swayed.
Bao Chuan turned his head to look at Xue Shang, tears left silently, Xue Shang took out a towel to help her wipe her tears, but wiped thousands of lines. made Xue Shang's heart cry in a mess.
As soon as they got out of the city gate, they changed horses and came to a house. Xue Shang dismounted and helped Bao Chuan down, such a delicate body actually had a strong soul. Bao Chuan stood at the door, this is where she will live in the future, and the person next to her looks like her.
Xue Shang pushed open the courtyard door and led her in. The hall house is divided into two rooms, the side is the ear room, the backyard has chickens, ducks and geese, and there are two trees in the courtyard, one is a locust tree and a jujube tree, and there is a well. Simple and neat little yard.
Xue Shang went to the kitchen to be busy, and Bao Chuan was sitting in the hall, still dizzy. Xue Shang brought hot water, "Bao'er, I'm tired from the journey, so I'm tired of applying hot water to my face." Bao Chuan shook his head, tears still stained on his face. One wanted to serve and freshen up, the other refused, Xue Shang insisted, and Bao Chuan lowered his eyebrows and let him go.
Xue Shang served steamed crucian carp and stir-fried bamboo shoots. "The conditions here are as simple as the house, Miss Grievance." His face was full of apologies, Bao Chuan didn't speak, he lowered his eyebrows and ate silently, and Xue Shang also ate with his head bored. Along the way, Guang was busy worrying about being afraid, but now the strings don't need to be tightened, and the two are facing each other, and Bao Chuan is embarrassed.
Anyway, no one in the house noticed at first that two bold people would run away. No one thought about it. Shen Shihuansha went out to find Bao Chuan, thinking that the young lady and her brother were together, and there was no shortage of people around them.
Bao Chuan went out early in the morning and hasn't come back until now, and Huansha doesn't feel anything wrong. Looking for a circle in the garden bamboo forest, Huansha went back and waited, she thought that the young lady and her brother went out together.
There was no one in sight at the time, Huansha's eyelids jumped, Guizi couldn't sit still with a big grin, and stomped his feet and shouted: "I'm dying, where is the young lady going?" Huansha stopped her from raising her voice, "What are you yelling about?" Wait, the young lady will come back with the second son."
Miss can't shout when she doesn't see her. The two of them were in a hurry to Li Ninian.
"Where's Miss?" Li Nian just came back, and saw the two maids running sweaty, and asked the two. Huansha's face changed, and they were still looking for it. Huansha asked quietly, "Miss is not with Childe?" ”
Li Nian's head buzzed wide. He went straight to Xue Shang's room, which was empty and there were no daily necessities. Xue Shang actually said goodbye.
Li Nian probably understood what was going on in his heart, but he couldn't tell it. Xue Shang, this bastard, he treats him as a gentleman, but he doesn't think that he is an ungrateful hypocrite.
Huansha was blindsided at that time, Li Nian didn't know the whereabouts of Miss, Miss disappeared for no reason, Miss won't be abducted, right? A terrible thought emerged. Impossible, impossible, Huansha comforted herself.
Huansha didn't connect Bao Chuan and Xue Shang together. "This matter should not be publicized, once Bao Chuan comes back, it will be rumored that Bao Chuan is not a good person." Li Nian told the two to keep quiet, and he went to tell his wife.
Li Nian hurriedly came over, and Mrs. Wang knew that there was something urgent. Li Nian fell to his knees and looked left and right, "You all go down." Mrs. Wang retreated.
"Mother, Bao'er is gone." "Bao Chuan is missing? Is she being naughty with two girls? Mrs. Wang knew that this assumption was not true, Bao Chuan was a big girl, and she would not play around without measure. King Ying? Mrs. Wang thought of King Ying. It is also impossible, the royal house is the most polite.
"Mother, Xue Shang is also gone." Mrs. Wang didn't believe it at all, these two people were not related, how could Bao Chuan destroy his future? Chang'an City has a curfew, and you can't look for it if you don't come back at night.
"You brothers and sisters study together and communicate more, but you don't find any clues on weekdays? Your heart as a brother is also great. As a mother, I also have responsibilities, and I neglect to discipline Bao Chuan on weekdays. If this happens, if it gets out, where will the face of the Li Mansion go? Madame Wang sighed.
Li Nian knelt on the ground, not daring to come out. blamed himself, he was blaming himself, and when he saw the clues, he should be ruthless and drive Xue Shang out of the house. or tell his mother, be reasonable to Bao Chuan, and admonish her.
At this time, it is impossible for Mrs. Wang not to think about the worst, Xue Shang she has seen it, and Yushu is a young man in the wind. The drama of talented and beautiful women is staged in such an unacceptable way for the world. A lady eloped with someone, and she was derelict in her duties as the housewife.
"Tell the two girls, pretend that they are fine, and if anyone asks, they will say that Bao Chuan is sick." Li Nian received the order and explained to Huansha and Guizi. Huansha counted the jewelry and money, and the box made of rhinoceros horn left by the Jiang family was gone. Only then did Huansha believe that the young lady really followed Xue Shang.
Talking about the streets of Chang'an City, how do you block everyone's mouth? What's more, she can't explain it to her master. Bao Chuan is a child valued by the lord and is expected to shine on the lintel. Mrs. Wang tossed and turned and did not sleep all night.
The family on this side turned on their backs, and Xue Shang and Bao Chuan in auspicious clothes got married. Bao Chuan knew that there was no turning back when he opened the bow, Xue Shang took out a blue-green large-sleeved wedding dress, and Bao Chuan did not refuse. Bao Chuan wore a hairpin decorated with pearl flowers and a red hijab, and Xue Shang was dressed in red and took red silk.
A full moon hangs high, and a couple of newlyweds burn incense to worship heaven and earth. Xue Shang said to Yue Langsheng: "Heaven and earth are proof, Xue Shang only married Li Baochuan as his wife in this life. In this life and this life, he will live up to his beloved wife Li Baochuan, if he violates this oath, he will be annihilated. "Bao Chuan is full of tears again, easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover. The two worshiped heaven and earth, worshiped the high hall twice, and the husband and wife worshipped each other and were sent to the cave room.
Xue Shang picked out the hijab, the red candle was shining, but he saw that the apricot flowers of Baochuan were smoky and the lotus flowers were drooping, and he was really more delicate than flowers. Dates were sprinkled on the bed, and the two drank wine.
Xue Shang stroked the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", there is a beauty, and I will never forget it. I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy. The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix from all over the world. Helpless beauty, not on the east wall. The piano will be used as a substitute for the language, and the conversation will be heartfelt. When I see Xu Xi one day, I am hesitant. I am willing to match virtue and join hands. I shall not be allowed to fly, and I shall be destroyed.
"Lady." Xue Shang and Bao Chuan sat side by side, Bao Chuan raised his eyes, but saw Xue Shang's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his nose was like a hanging gall, his temples were like a knife, and his color was like a flower of spring dawn. "I'm the happiest person in the world."
Xue Shang put Bao Chuan's hand on his chest, "This heart belongs only to you in this life and this life." Bao Chuan was shy, "Lady, let's rest earlier." "Mandarin ducks play in the spring water.
In the morning, Bao Chuan opened her eyes, a pair of eyes as bright as stars were looking at her with a smile, Bao Chuan felt that all this was like a dream. When she woke up, she was no longer a carefree little girl, she was married. Xue Shang took Bao Chuan into his arms, his little wife was too shy.
She hasn't said a word since yesterday. "The lady is so beautiful," Xue Shang dressed and went to the ground, "to make breakfast for her husband." Bao Chuan stopped him, "Reluctant to leave for her husband?" "You can rest." The beauty in Xue Shang's heart, the lady knows that she feels sorry for him. The two went in and out together, like glue and paint, and they were inseparable.
