Chapter 4: Nostalgia for the Gentle Country
City Lord's Mansion, Wu Yanran couldn't afford to get sick after getting the news, and lay on the bed for five days, and was unconscious, and the city lord found many doctors, so he barely hung Wu Yanran's breath.
It's really a few happy and a few sad, things in the world are like this, there is never the best of both worlds, there are always people who are happy, and there are people who are sad.
On the eighth day, Hua Chen woke up from meditation and saw a lot of eucalyptus and snow lotus in front of her, only to know that Bai Jing had worked tirelessly to help her get these things in the past few days, for fear that she would be hungry.
At this time, Bai Jing was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, he had been running around for days for the past few days, and he had no time to rest at all, and when he came back, he saw that Hua Chen had not woken up yet, he really couldn't support it, so he went to rest first.
Unexpectedly, not long after he fell asleep, Hua Chen opened his eyes.
Hua Chen got down from the table, twisted a bunch of snow lotus, and took the snow lotus to Wu Yanran's yard.
The courtyard was no different from usual, except for a few maids who didn't look very good, the faces of these maids were really bad enough, as if Wu Yanran was about to die, and they were really depressed.
The two maids in the room were waiting for Wu Yanran to drink medicine, her lips were purple, her eyes were closed, and her life was like a gossamer.
"Distinguished guest, my young lady is sick, I'm afraid I can't ...... with the guest" The maid wanted to step forward to stop Hua Chen when she saw Hua Chen, but when the city lord left, she said that she couldn't let people approach Wu Yanran casually, and if something happened, she would ask them for blame.
Hua Chen shook the snow lotus in his hand, "I have a way to make your young lady wake up, don't panic." Hua Chen stepped forward as he spoke.
The maid hesitated for a moment before letting Hua Chen walk in, she followed closely behind, wanting to see what was going on.
Hua Chen is an immortal, so naturally there is a way to wake up Wu Yanran, she took the snow lotus, put it on Wu Yanran's eyebrows, and directly squeezed the snow lotus, and a few drops of water dripped from the snow lotus to Wu Yanran's eyebrows.
Something miraculous happened, and this thing similar to a water drop disappeared directly into Wu Yanran's eyebrows, without a trace.
After a few drops, Wu Yanran slowly opened her eyes.
"Miss is awake, Miss is awake."
"Go tell the lord about this."
The maid next to her was very excited, Wu Yanran had been closing her eyes for the past few days, and they all thought that Wu Yanran couldn't stand it.
After Wu Yanran opened her eyes, she looked at the people around her sadly, there was no emotion in her eyes, she was afraid that she was disappointed in the world, and she had no nostalgia.
"You guys stand down first, I have something I want to say to your young master." Hua Chen said to the maid beside him.
Maids, you look at me, I look at you, and finally decided to listen to Hua Chen's words, because it was Hua Chen who woke up Wu Yanran just now, and it shouldn't hurt their young master.
After retiring everyone, Hua Chen took out a jade pendant from her arms, and the jade pendant was engraved with a Wu character, and she stuffed the jade pendant into Wu Yanran's hand.
"This ...... This is my lost jade pendant. Wu Yanran looked at the jade pendant in her hand in surprise, she didn't expect that the lost thing could be lost and recovered, and how could it be in Hua Chen's hands.
"You hang this jade pendant on your waist and invite Zhang Gongzi to tea, and I will teach you how to do it when the time comes." Hua Chen said calmly.
"Brother Chu Feng has lost me in his heart, what's the use of me going to him." Yanran said sadly, it's not that she is not attached, but that person's heart already belongs, and her attachment is worthless at all.
"But you are the daughter of the city lord, if you want to marry him, why is it difficult?" Hua Chen remembered that in the previous life, the city lord used strong means to make Zhang Chufeng marry Wu Yanran, "But I think you should strive for your own happiness, maybe Zhang Gongzi was just blinded by something." ”
"Do you know anything? Can you tell me? Wu Yanran's eyes regained their brilliance, she seemed to grasp the straw that saved her life, and she kept looking at Hua Chen with her eyes full of Qiji, as if she had entrusted all her life to Hua Chen's hands.
At this moment, Hua Chen's heart was slightly touched, and she vaguely felt something.
The woman in front of her, for love, can be a moth to a fire, for a little hope, you can do nothing, love, what is this?
At this time, Hua Chen had doubts in his heart, questions about love.
"I can't tell you anything, but I know that you can only get what you want if you live well, and I will ask Zhang Gongzi to come out on your behalf and see you tomorrow in the teahouse."
After Hua Chen left, Wu Yanran took the jade pendant and thought for a moment, and immediately went to the maid to help her prepare the most beautiful clothes and buy the best rouge gouache, she wanted to dress up well.
There are many teahouses in Jin'an city, but among them there is one of the most famous teahouses, Ruyi teahouse, it is said that this teahouse is a place where many young men and women often go, many unmarried men and women drink a cup of tea here, chat for a while, you can be happy with each other, many married men and women have drunk tea here, originally the name of the teahouse is Chunfeng Teahouse, and then I don't know who said that this place is simply as I want, so it was changed to Ruyi Teahouse.
The teahouse is a good teahouse, and there is no difference from other teahouses in appearance, except for the four-character signboard of Ruyi Teahouse.
Hua Chen walked in, found a seat and sat down, and listened to the movement next door.
Next door, Wu Yanran and Zhang Chufeng sat in the private room together, Zhang Chufeng's face was as usual, and Wu Yanran was like a sister.
After Wu Yanran sat down, she played with the jade pendant, and saw that Zhang Chufeng didn't have any special expression, so she hung the jade pendant on her waist.
Hua Chen next door used a little spell, she could see the scene next door through the wall, she saw that Zhang Chufeng did not react to the jade pendant, and knew that Shen Feixue was afraid that Zhang Chufeng had other words, otherwise how could Zhang Chufeng be indifferent to this jade pendant.
"Brother Chu Feng, I know that you have a marriage contract with Miss Shen, in fact, I have something to tell you when I brought you here today." Wu Yanran took out a letter from her sleeve, which was a letter from the marriage contract.
Zhang Chufeng hesitated for a moment, opened it and found that it was the marriage contract between the Wu family and the Liu family.
The Liu family is a wealthy family in the city, with thousands of properties, if the Wu family is in charge of power, then the Liu family is in charge of money, this combination of money and power is simply impeccable.
It's just that the Liu family has only one son, named Liu Xuanyin, who is a well-known playboy in Jin'an City, and has been a romantic story in the past few years, and there are more than ten concubines in the house, and recently he is fighting with the old man of the Liu family for a new woman in Qinglou, saying that he is preparing to accept this eighteenth concubine.
"No, how can this be." After Zhang Chufeng saw it, he directly accepted the letter of the marriage contract, and stood up, "I'll go and tell the city lord about it, it's absolutely impossible." ”
Wu Yanran laughed after hearing this, and sure enough, as Sister Hua Chen said, Zhang Chufeng would definitely be unhappy when he heard this, which showed that he had her place in his heart.
This Wu Yanran has a simple temperament, and I don't know that as long as someone who is a little close, they can't bear to let a beautiful woman like her marry a playboy.
Wu Yanran didn't think so, she only thought that Zhang Chufeng did have her place in her heart.
"Brother Chu Feng, by all means, my father agreed to this matter, if I suddenly regret it, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that the Liu family will be annoyed and angry. Wu Yanran bit her lip and said.
Zhang Chufeng stopped and looked back at Wu Yanran, "Zizhen, don't be afraid, I will take care of this matter, and I will definitely not let you marry into the Liu family." Zhang Chufeng said that, and directly took the marriage contract and hurriedly went downstairs.
Hua Chen came out of the door next to her, she knew that Zhang Chufeng had gone away, and Wu Yanran next door cautiously ran to Hua Chen's side.
"Sister, is your method really possible? I'm afraid...... Brother Chu Feng would be angry when he found out. Wu Yanran said worriedly.
"Everything is planned, I'm also helping you, you just have to keep your heart in your stomach." Regardless of Wu Yanran, she followed Zhang Chufeng's footsteps and went to the City Lord's Mansion.
This Zhang Chu Feng was really anxious, so he found a horse and galloped to the City Lord's Mansion, dismounted at the door, and walked to the living room of the City Lord's Mansion with wind under his feet.
He walked anxiously around the living room, waiting for the arrival of the city lord, the usually steady man, now he looked like a hairy boy, Hua Chen observed quietly behind the screen, she felt that she should not be mistaken, this Chu Feng did have a place for Wu Yanran in his heart, I am afraid he himself does not know.
The city lord was late, and he sat firmly in the middle, drinking tea slowly, not in a hurry.
"City Lord, the juniors have always respected you, but how can you marry Yan Ran at will?" Zhang Chufeng took out the letter of the marriage contract.
The city lord was still drinking tea, unhurried.
"Chu Feng, there are many capable people in Jin'an City, but in terms of talent and learning, who can compare to you, in terms of martial arts, I know a person, but that person was said by Xiangshi to be the life of his wife. Although this son of the Liu family is fat, but my son married in the past, and he has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, how can this be casual? "The lord of the castle responded unhurriedly.
Zhang Chufeng was a little speechless after hearing this, "Several of my classmates are dragons and phoenixes among people, why doesn't the city lord consider those people?" Do you want to marry yourself to a man who is nostalgic for a gentle country? ”
"Dragons and phoenixes among people? My son is the young master of this Jin'an City, and she wants to marry the dragon and phoenix among the people, but the dragon and phoenix in this person don't like my son, Zhang Chufeng, the person who is most unqualified to stand here is you, if you like my son, then marry her, no, and leave immediately. The lord said angrily.
The words made Zhang Chufeng not know how to deal with it, he opened his mouth, and his thoughts were indeed chaotic.
"How can I marry a child...... Don't marry Yanran to that useless person. Zhang Chufeng said softly, and his confidence was no longer as strong as when he came.
"Sending off guests." The city lord got up, not wanting to talk nonsense with Zhang Chufeng any more.
"City Lord, wait, I'm ......" Zhang Chufeng called the city lord, but he never knew what to say.
