Chapter 24: Postponement
Xie Yanhe lowered her eyes quietly, and a charming face bloomed like a flower, as if in the next second, a butterfly couldn't help but land on her fluttering eyelashes.
Xie Yanhe secretly thought: Now that you thank me for believing in you, I am afraid that in the future, you will hate me for using you.
"County Lord, don't worry. Although I, Li Mu, am not talented, I will ...... in the future I will definitely protect the county lord thoroughly. ”
Xie Yanhe's suddenly softened attitude gave Li Mu a wrong signal, making Li Mu think that her silence just now was just shyness. Li Mu's mood was agitated, and he once again revealed his heart to Xie Yanhe.
The handsome man's eyes were sincere, his face was full of smiles, and his whole body was filled with the smell of grass, and his whole body was full of the smell of savage growth.
Are all the men at the border so enthusiastic? Xie Yanhe's beautiful eyes showed a hint of melancholy.
When he was young, his father's smile was so dazzling and pure, the figure in his memory and the Li Mu in front of him gradually overlapped, Xie Yan's eyes were sour, and he almost burst into tears.
She quickly turned her head away to hide her gaffe.
A century-old apricot tree in the courtyard is in its flowering period, full of apricot blossoms, colorful like rain.
Xie Yanhe blinked, raised his hand to fold a flower branch, faced Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Master Li, this apricot blossom will be sent to you." ”
Li Mu was suddenly flattered, he hurriedly took the flower branch handed over by the county lord of Yonghe, and felt that the girl's delicate smile was more beautiful than the apricot blossom.
Xie Yanhe looked at Li Mu's smile that was about to reach the root of her ears, and smiled, she covered her cheeks with a fan, revealing only a pair of curved bright eyes.
"How long will Master Li stay in the capital?"
Xie Yanhe's clear eyes reflected Li Mu's figure, as if at this moment, he was the only one in her eyes.
Being watched by such a pair of bright eyes, in the sky and on the ground, there is no scenery that can beat the girl's eyes at this moment.
Li Mu's heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he replied reflexively: "Wait until after the Buddha Bathing Festival." ”
It turned out that my grandmother had set the wedding date at this time.
A hint of coldness flashed in Xie Yanhe's eyes.
In order to humiliate themselves, Chen Rong and the Chen family will definitely let themselves and Li Mu get married in the capital. The eldest princess acquiesced in this matter, which was a compromise with the crown princess Chen Rong. Sacrificing a granddaughter in exchange for the opportunity to make peace with the crown princess is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
The eldest princess is old, probably old and confused, and wagging her tail and begging for mercy may be exchanged for a moment of respite, but she can't ask for stability for a lifetime. Once the knee is bent, it will only be stepped into the dust more quickly.
What's more, April is the test, and my cousin has a true affection for himself, so let him see himself marry someone else, how can he be embarrassed! If it affects my cousin's performance in the examination room...... Where will I have the face to see my grandmother in the future!
Chen...... What a poisonous mind!
The eldest princess is really her own grandmother!
Xie Yanhe's eyes were cold, but the smile on his lips was like a blooming hibiscus, and the beautiful flowers were stained with sweet poisonous juice.
"Is the wedding scheduled for March?" Xie Yanhe asked unexpectedly.
A look of doubt appeared on Li Mu's face. Didn't the eldest princess tell the lord of Yonghe County about the marriage date?
Although Li Mu was puzzled, he still told Xie Yanhe frankly: "The wedding date is scheduled for March 20. Already...... I have already found the master of Huguo Temple to meet the eight characters. ”
Li Mu's expression revealed a hint of confusion, and his voice lowered: "The master said that it was a match made in heaven. ”
What a match made in heaven! Xie Yanhe's smile was cold, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her delicate voice was inaudible: "Is it so hasty?" ”
The soft, soft tone revealed a faint resentment, like a mountain stream, rushing to Li Mu's heart. The man's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of tenderness, and he said softly: "Does the county lord feel in a hurry?" ”
Xie Yan and the beautiful face had a trace of chagrin, as if he had just blurted out his heart. She bit her lip lightly and said with a hint of sadness, "I'm sorry, Master Li, I just thought of ...... I was a little sad to think that my grandmother couldn't see me get married......"
Her long eyelashes were lifted slightly, a pair of bright eyes wanted to rest, and her soft eyes were full of tears.
Li Mu's heart hurt, and he couldn't help but say: "County lord, why don't I discuss with the eldest princess, postpone the marriage, and wait until the county lord's grandmother goes to Beijing, and then ......."
"No need." Xie Yanhe quickly interrupted Li Mu's words, and she shook her head bitterly: "Grandmother...... Grandmother won't agree. ”
Li Mu thought: Even if the county lord of Yonghe wants the stars in the sky now, he will try his best to pick them off for her. Not to mention such a trivial thing as just postponing the wedding date.
"County Lord, don't worry. The eldest princess is there, I will go and say it myself. Li Mu smiled gently, and said softly to Xie Yanhe: "Which day does the county lord think is good?" ”
When Xie Yanhe heard this, he raised his head in surprise in an instant, and looked at Li Mu's gaze expectantly and worriedly: "Master Li, can you really change the day?" Her mutton fat white jade knuckles subconsciously twisted the silk silk hanging from her dress, and the cute little movements exposed the uneasiness in her heart.
Being watched by such a pair of innocent and clear eyes like a deer, Li Mu's heart was about to melt, he smiled heartily, and said softly: "County Lord, don't worry, I will never break my promise to you." ”
"Master Li, thank you!" Xie Yanhe no longer has the arrogance and indifference that he rejected thousands of miles away when he first met Li Mu, and now she is sweet and delicate, smart and wise, like thawing spring water, and the whole person has become warm.
Li Mu stared at the extremely charming girl in front of him affectionately, and couldn't help but see a glimmer of hope in his heart: as long as he let the county lord of Yonghe feel his sincerity and sincerity, over time, he will definitely be able to impress the county lord of Yonghe and successfully win the heart of the county lord of Yonghe.
The county lord's current attitude, compared to the tense atmosphere between Fang Cai and himself, has not softened somewhat? Li Mu didn't know that he was just tricked by Xie Yan and Chenggong.
Li Mu, who had been completely led by Xie Yan and his nose, cautiously asked, "Which day does the county lord think is better?" I listen to the county lord. ”
Xie Yanhe heard this, and her white skin like early snow flew on two touching shades, and she lowered her head with a shy expression: "How is May?" The first day of the fifth month. "The gentle voice is as thin as a mosquito.
May...... Li Mu subconsciously frowned.
"Master Li, can't you?" Xie Yanhe's expression instantly revealed deep disappointment.
Li Mu regretted that he had just agreed too quickly, and he was afraid that the county lord of Yonghe would misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained: "County lord, I only followed the official to take a month and a half of leave. I'm going back to Liaodong in May. ”
"Master Li, I understand." Xie Yan said kindly, but his glamorous face no longer had the joy of Fang Cai.
Li Mu was a little uncomfortable, but in this matter, he could only break his promise, Li Mu said with guilt: "County Lord, I'm sorry to disappoint you." ”
Xie Yanhe chuckled and shook his head: "I forced it." There was sadness in her eyes that she didn't have time to hide.
Li Mu couldn't bear to make the county lord of Yonghe sad, and after struggling in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "County lord, what do you think of April 25th?" We booked on this date. ”
The two had already walked to the Crescent Lake, Xie Yanhe looked at the white and flawless magnolia tree by the lake, her expression gradually became indifferent, and she said lightly: "Master Li, let's pass my grandmother's level first." Her tone reverted to the haughty and detached she had seen at first sight.
Li Mu was a little sad, in his relationship with the county lord of Yonghe, he was already deeply trapped, but the county lord of Yonghe could withdraw at any time, and the party who was tempted first was always easy to get hurt.
"Lord Li, it's not too early, I'll leave first." Xie Yanhe seemed to have lost the interest in speaking, she withdrew her gaze from the magnolia tree and said goodbye.
"County Lord." Li Mu was in a hurry for a while, and involuntarily grabbed the arm of the county lord of Yonghe.
Although there is a layer of sleeves, the feeling in the palm of the hand is weak and boneless, and I don't know what a beautiful spring color should be under the sleeves.
Li Mu's blood surged up, and his face instantly turned red into Guan Gong.
"Master Li, self-respect!" Pearl, who had been following the two of them, immediately rushed up, slapped off Li Mu's arm, raised his eyebrows, and scolded sharply: "Are you people from the border so ignorant of the rules? ”
"Pearl, stand down!" Compared with the maid who was already trembling with anger, Xie Yanhe's expression could be called calm.
"County lord, what's the matter, your name is slave." Before Pearl retreated, she glared at Li Mu viciously, her eyes were as cold as a knife, and she wanted to pierce a bloody hole in Li Mu's body.
"County Lord, I'...... We were in a hurry, and I didn't mean to offend the county lord. Li Mu explained with a pale face. He was so reckless just now, and the impression of the county lord of Yonghe must have fallen to the bottom.
Xie Yanhe looked at Li Muru's mournful face, his heart seemed to be pressed by a heavy stone, and he was a little out of breath.
Such joy and anger are affected by another person, how much like a father who bows down in front of his mother and is a little father. And my brother, the same is true in front of my sister-in-law.
And now, those family joys, the infinitely warm scenes in her memory, turned out to be so far away from her.
Xie Yanhe didn't want to embarrass Li Mu, at least at this moment, she couldn't completely ruthlessly trample on another person's sincerity.
Therefore, Xie Yanhe said very indifferently: "Master Li, I believe in you. You...... It's not a heart. ”
Li Mu's eyes welled up with huge ecstasy, like a death row prisoner who had been guillotined, he was already waiting for death, but he didn't expect to wait for the will of pardon, he said worriedly: "County Lord, are you really willing to forgive me?" ”
Xie Yanhe smiled, her lively expression was like a smart little fox, and she said softly: "Master Li, I'm sorry, I just deliberately lied to you, and I wasn't angry. April 25 is an excellent day. ”
After Xie Yanhe finished speaking, a pair of watery peach blossom eyes revealed a hint of shyness, and she lifted her skirt like a butterfly dancing among the flowers, fluttering away.
"County Lord, you slow down." Pearl, who was following behind, hurriedly trotted up with her skirt and followed.
It wasn't until the figures of the master and servant of Yonghe County disappeared into the winding corridor that Li Mu slowly retracted his gaze.
The county lord has just ...... What is the meaning? Is she talking about marrying herself? Li Mu thought of the shy and timid face of the talented girl, like a very bright peach blossom blooming on the branches in the spring light, the wind moved and the flowers fell, and they were as red as rain; Scorching its splendor and occupying the spring color.
Li Mu only hated that he was not one of those scholars who scolded Fang Xuan, and he couldn't write the most beautiful poems in the world, but the picture of the girl smiling and smiling remained in his mind and was remembered by him for a lifetime.
……
"County Lord, do you really want to marry Li Mu?" Pearl is a little bit away from the two of them. But in the conversation between the county lord and Li Mu, there were still some words that came intermittently, and Pearl was impatient at that time.
I can't see that Li Mu is a rough person, and when he talks about rhetoric, he doesn't lose to those gentlemen. Pearl was afraid that the county lord would be deceived by Li Mu, so he really plunged into it.
In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, a delicate daughter like the county lord must not be reduced to that kind of place in this life.
"Is the decision in my hands to marry or not?" Xie Yanhe looked at Pearl's worried expression, the corners of his lips curled, and he confided a sincere word.
This marriage contract, she can't control it at all. Even if her grandmother disagreed, the Gu family's surname was Gu, and her surname was Xie.
Unless...... Although Xie Yanhe retreated the red kite to the palace, she didn't believe that with His Majesty's temperament today, she could resist not inserting eyeliner by her side.
Today, he and Li Mu have a private meeting, that is, the two of them are nominally unmarried. I believe that in less than an hour, a detailed report will be placed on His Majesty's imperial case.
Although His Majesty kept the news very tight, the county lord of Jinghua was imprisoned in Dali Temple by His Majesty because of the big media he guaranteed.
As for the Chen family, who started it, Xie Yanhe did not believe that with His Majesty's temperament, he would easily let go of the Chen family.
Xie Yanhe closed his eyes. The show has begun, and she just needs to ...... It's good to watch the drama with a cold eye.
