The long-ago memory, with the taste of childhood and the appearance of her father reprinted together, Li Shenlan's eyes slowly overflowed with tears.

"Sister?"

Wang Jun'er called a few times before Li Shenlan came back to her senses. "Hey, look at my unproductive appearance, I cried when I ate a wonton."

"No wonder my sister, his wontons are really delicious, and my sister used to come to eat them often. It's just that my father said later that everyone shouldn't be like this, so that's it. It's thanks to my sister today, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to eat this taste. ”

Wang Jun'er is also a smart person, knowing that Li Shenlan is just a pretense. But seeing that Li Shenlan didn't say anything, she didn't ask in detail.

The two ran out of wontons in silence, and when the time was almost up, they planned to go back to the spring residence to find Li Mingyue and the two to meet. Strange to say, I went back according to the route I came, but I was surrounded by the people halfway.

"What's the matter, it was fine when I came." Bang Chun is also a straight person, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked a few onlookers about the situation.

It turned out that the proprietress in the restaurant on the side of the road saw that her second child was not always working, so she took it out and beat and scolded her in public. This was not a big deal originally, but the proprietress was not a good person, and she often punished her own junior with a whip, not to mention, and always deducted her monthly money.

The daughter of the second child who was beaten was sick, and when she was packing up, she saw that the nobles didn't move much food, so she quietly packed a few by herself. Unexpectedly, I happened to be seen by the proprietress on patrol, so I pulled it out and whipped it. The little two was already resentful of the proprietress, and in such a fit of anger, they stabbed the proprietress more than a dozen times with the knife they carried!

"It's horrible!" What Bang Chun said was already colorful, and Wang Jun'er was even more frightened when she heard it.

Li Shenlan also sighed, speaking of which the boss's fault was even greater. The nobles don't want to eat, but Zuo is just poured into a swill bucket, which is wasted, and it is understandable for Xiao Er to take it back to his daughter to eat. The proprietress had to be reluctant to do this, and she forced people into a desperate situation.

"People are like this, either they swallow their anger for a lifetime and only make promises; Either it will have a later erection, and you can still fight for a stable day. Li Shenlan said as she pulled Wang Jun'er to take a detour away from the crowd of onlookers. Looking at Wang Jun'er's frightened expression, Li Shenlan suddenly had an idea in her heart.

"Jun'er, there are some things I always want to say to you, but it's just ......"

"Sister, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I know that you think you are a businessman, and this world is a world where officials and family members can't see the way of business. It's just one point, you have to be yourself, no matter what others think of you, you are the daughter of the Wang family, and you are a rich lady. In the Lu family, as long as you don't have a conflict with Lu Xin, you don't have to live a life of promises. ”

Wang Jun'er didn't expect Li Shenlan to suddenly persuade herself like this, and she was stunned for a while.

Li Shenlan continued: "Just like me, I have also lived in a small temple in the countryside since I was a child, but my identity is there, even Li Mingyue has to really call my sister. So don't be afraid, be confident. ”

Wang Jun'er also knows Li Shenlan's intentions, if she didn't really treat herself like a sister, how could she say these heart-wrenching words. So he took a step back and saluted Li Shenlan steadily.

"What my sister said, Jun'er understood it, and she will definitely raise her head and be a man in the future. As my sister just said, people always have to fight for a good future for themselves. ”

The two made friends with each other, and made an appointment to come out to meet often when they were free in the future, and then they found Li Mingyue and they each got into their own carriage and went home.

In Xiaoyuxuan, Liuxia, who has always gossiped, hurriedly ran in from outside and shared the new things with a few sisters. Li Shenlan looked at them, chattering non-stop, thinking that they were bored, so she called them to chat together.

The first thing I couldn't help but do was to stay in the summer, and I didn't give others a chance, so I said it all in one go.

"Miss didn't know anything, Sister Bangchun just talked about the proprietress of the restaurant on East Street, and the slave just knew the follow-up. It is said that the murderous Xiao Er was arrested by the people in the yamen before he left the East Street, after all, the neighbors were all witnesses, and he was sentenced to death without even a trial. The cousin of the boss's husband is a petty official in the yamen, and the final sentence is Ling Chi! ”

The so-called Ling Chi, also known as "a thousand knives", is to cut the prisoner into pieces, so that he will die in extreme pain, and some people will die of blood!

In ordinary homicide cases, most of the prisoners are sentenced to beheading, although they are all killed, but in the end, there is no pain in solving them with a knife. But the ending of this little two is just because there is a relative in the other party's yamen, so he has to be tortured like this.

Li Shenlan listened, in addition to being afraid, she was more shocked. At first, she only thought that Xiao Er was struggling, killing the people who had been oppressing her, and always earning herself a personal freedom tomorrow. forgot that he was a common man after all, and he couldn't escape after all.

And himself, with this identity, as long as he is not as cowardly as before, he is more confident. Such an identity is also a kind of protection for oneself.

"Be weak when you should be weak, be tough when you should be tough." This is Li Shenlan's way of surviving after experiencing the palace banquet and today's events......

In the next few days, Li Shenlan would ask Wang Juner to go out from time to time to listen to the drama and taste tea, and the more they chatted, the more intimate they became, and the more they talked, the more they had something to say. Taiwei also knew that Li Shenlan had been in close contact with the daughter of a businessman recently, but he didn't say anything, but occasionally reminded Li Shenlan to find a few more official daughters to travel.

One afternoon, Taiwei took Li Shenlan to the house of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites as a guest, and the young lady of the Ministry of Rites was also a well-informed temperament, and the two chatted speculatively.

This Li Shenlan had a smooth life, but Li Mingyue on the other side was itching with hatred. In the past, my father used officials with young ladies to communicate with him, and he often brought himself, but now Li Shenlan has taken the lead in everything. And the young lady of the Ministry of Rites is even more angry, thinking that when Li Mingyue passed, she didn't have a good face at all, but this Li Shenlan went over, and the two were so friendly.

The sound of "pop", Li Mingyue continued for a few days, and as soon as the anger came up, she would smash things to vent her anger.

"Miss, don't smash it, this tea set is already the fourth set in the past few days, and Steward Chen, who is in charge of sundries, was not very happy to give it to ...... yesterday."

Li Mingyue was already angry, and when she heard this, she was even more angry: "This group of cheap servants, relying on Li Shenlan's power, will show Miss Ben's face." What kind of thing is Chen Zhi, he still dares to press what Miss Ben wants! ”

"What Miss said is, how the second young lady is powerful, and those who are slaves don't dare to bully you. It's just that four or five sets of tea cups have been changed in just seven days, and I'm afraid that someone will alarm Madame, and Miss will be punished. ”

When Li Mingyue heard this, she was angry in her heart, and she still put down the porcelain bottle in her hand. Mrs. Li is the most incomprehensible person in the entire mansion, except for the Tai Lieutenant. I was about to say something, but I saw the maid outside step in and report in her ear.

"Why don't you invite someone in." Li Mingyue listened to the words and seemed impatient.

After a while, a good-looking maid came in from outside the door, and when she saw Li Mingyue, she bowed steadily. "The slave has seen Miss Li."

"Sister Lu, what did you find?" The person who came was none other than the close maid who followed Lu Xin that day.

"Yes, the eldest lady sent someone to check that day, and someone happened to see the carriage of the Li Mansion passing by when someone was passing by, this is the ...... that the eldest lady asked me to give you"

On this day, Li Shenlan dressed up early and ordered someone to prepare a carriage to go out. The day before, Wang Jun'er sent someone to hand him a post, inviting him to listen to the play in the theater. It's hard for Wang Jun'er to spend a lot of money to buy tickets, and Li Shenlan naturally won't refuse.

Just passing by the pavilion, Li Mingyue suddenly stopped Li Shenlan behind her.

"Second sister, where are you going?" Because Li Shenlan was invited by various young ladies almost every day a while ago, sometimes even Aunt He's class would be postponed, and she hadn't seen Li Mingyue for a while.

"Jun'er invited me to listen to the play, because there are only two tickets, I won't invite the third sister to go with me today, and I will ask you to go with me when I have time."

Li Shenlan came out late, and she wasn't prepared to talk to Li Mingyue for long. Besides, this was the truth, but it just fell into Li Mingyue's ears, but she felt that Li Shenlan was mocking herself.

"My sister has been really busy lately, and my sister hasn't seen her sister for several days." Li Mingyue was not annoyed, it was obvious that she didn't want Li Shenlan to be happy.

"My sister didn't attend Aunt He's class last time, and Aunt He talked about entering the palace draft. Speaking of which, my sister has also heard some rumors, and it is said that each family can only be selected for one young lady this year. My sister has been in Beijing for a short time, and I am afraid that I can't stand the loneliness of the deep palace, so it is better to let my sister in and share the worries of the Taiwei Mansion. ”

Speaking of which, this year's rules are like this, the queen mother is worried that there will be several palace maidens in the family, and in the future, the pillow wind will blow next to the emperor, so that the relatives will be autocratic, so she specially issued an order. It's just that the Taiwei came to Li Shenlan two days ago, and she doesn't have to worry about this matter at all, everything has been taken care of by the Taiwei.

Li Shenlan also knew that Li Mingyue was not at ease, and in addition to making Li Shenlan feel funny, she couldn't anger her anymore.

"The third sister will earn it if she likes it, and whoever the emperor likes will naturally choose who to enter the palace. Could it be that my father cultivated me so hard, but I gave up early? Then what have I become? ”

Li Mingyue didn't expect Li Shenlan to say this, and when she saw Li Shenlan turn around to leave, she blurted out: "Song Yuan, stop me!"

Song Yuan has never heard anyone shout since Li Shenlan entered Beijing, and Taiwei even reminded himself that he must not let people know his life experience.

"I'm afraid the third sister is confused, you should call my second sister." Li Shenlan nodded with a calm face.

I don't want Li Mingyue to follow or not.

"It's just a rural woman, who dares to stand up to the identity of the Taiwei Mansion, I really don't know if you can afford to be a slut. What's wrong with me calling you Song Yuan, isn't this your original cheap name? ”

Li Mingyue wanted to say something, but was slapped by Li Shenlan.

"Slut! How dare you hit me! ”

"I'm not just going to hit you, I'm going to tell my father everything you say today. Li Mingyue, let me tell you, I don't care how you find out, if you want to live a good life, keep your mouth shut. If I hear you say that, I'll sew you in the mouth with a needle. ”

"You dare!" Li Mingyue roared, she didn't expect Li Shenlan to beat herself, and she would dare to threaten herself.

"You see if I dare." Li Shenlan is not a vegetarian either, and seeing that Li Mingyue was still unconvinced, she raised her hand and pinched Li Mingyue's jaw. "Do you see if I dare, Li Mingyue, I used to look at you as smart, but now it seems so stupid!"

Li Mingyue was already unconvinced, and when she saw Li Shenlan insulting herself three times and twice, she was even more angry.

"Li Shenlan, you are not your father's child at all, and you are shamelessly occupying the magpie's nest here. All I want is what should be my own! ”

"Li Mingyue, am I my father's child, will my father not know? You'd better be obedient, if your father knows what you think in your heart, don't say it's me, even your father will not allow you to be the first to do it. ”

Li Shenlan nodded, let go of Li Mingyue's chin fiercely, and turned around and walked towards the door.

Li Mingyue looked at the place where Li Shenlan disappeared, and her teeth bit out the blood in her mouth, before she said fiercely: "Slut, I am my father's daughter." Sister Lu, are you ready? ”

The maid on the side hurriedly bowed her head and said yes.

"Go get a veil, Miss Ben is going to see this slut ruined for herself!"

Outside the Zhu Theater, Li Shenlan slowly got out of the carriage with Bang Chun's hand. Wang Jun'er's post clearly wrote that it was a seat on the second floor, so the two went straight to the second floor.

"Just in the business, take care of your mouth."

Li Shenlan disliked talking to her subordinates so harshly, and Bang Chun had just witnessed the whole process, in addition to being afraid, she was also amazed by Li Shenlan's changes. Today's Li Shenlan and the country girl who just entered the house are completely like two people.

"Second Miss rest assured, although the slave maid is the person sent by the master to serve the second miss, since she has followed the second miss, she will definitely take the second miss as the leader."

Seeing that Bang Chun understood in his heart, Li Shenlan didn't say more, and the two slowly walked to the elegant seat on the second floor, but saw that it was not Wang Jun'er sitting there, but the third lady of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, Lu Xin.

"It's a post from Jun'er." The original smile on Li Shenlan's face naturally disappeared by three points.

Lu Xin was not annoyed when he saw this, and slowly got up and walked forward with a smile to greet Li Shenlan.

"Why is Sister Shen Lan so estranged from Xin'er? On weekdays, my sister is always closer to my sister, and rarely chats with me. This is not today, I suddenly became interested, but I thought that my sister would not come, so I asked my sister to borrow the post and posted it to my sister. ”

Li Shenlan lowered her eyelids slightly and buried her thoughts in the bottom of her heart. But the face is still faint.

"I see."

Seeing that Li Shenlan still didn't believe it, Lu Xin simply stepped forward and pulled her to be coquettish. Doesn't Wang Jun'er just pestering Li Shenlan every day, and she keeps being delicate?

"Sister won't blame Xin'er, right?"

"Why, since they're all here, aren't they about to listen to the play, hurry up and sit down, I see that the play is about to start."

"Exactly." Lu Xin smiled innocently and pulled Li Shenlan to sit in the seat.

This stage is dressed as a new play, called "The Death of the White Girl", which is a tragedy. It is about a husband and wife who originally respected each other, but because their wives were targeted by passing gangsters when they were traveling, they were in front of their husbands. Then the husband had palpitations, but he could always remember the original scene in the face of the wife who was supposed to care. So the original husband and wife were harmonious, but the husband was haunted by nightmares every day, and he went crazy for a while, and stoned his wife to death with an inkstone at the next moment when he wrote the letter of resignation.

"I've seen this play before, but it's not sung by this famous actor, and in comparison, it's not as vivid and exciting as this one now."

Lu Xin discussed with Li Shenlan with great interest, but Li Shenlan only felt that this play was sad and desolate. Concentrated, goosebumps unconsciously appeared on his body.

"This Zhao family is also pitiful, he was the most wronged person, but he suffered the most miserable consequences......" The play was sung at the ** place, and Li Shenlan couldn't help but sigh.

"My sister has always been kind-hearted, although this Zhao family is pitiful, but what man in this world has endured his wife's infidelity?" This is cold-blooded, but it is not unreasonable.

Lu Xin looked at Li Shenlan who was still immersed in the story, and called the maid next to her to mutter, and then said: "Sister, listen first, my stomach is not very comfortable, maybe the bowl of red date porridge I ate when I came this morning is not very clean, let my sister be with me for a while."

Li Shenlan was already focused on the stage, and she didn't think much about Lu Xin's words, so she nodded perfunctorily and went by Lu Xin. It's just that Lu Xin just turned around and changed his face, and his eyes revealed ruthlessness.

Lu Xin naturally didn't go to the toilet, and when she got out of the gate of the Pearl Theater, she went straight into the building of the teahouse opposite.

"Sister Lu!" In the private room of the teahouse, Li Mingyue was waiting with a veil on, and saw Lu Xin coming over and hurriedly beckoning to sit down.

Although Li Mingyue's face is covered with tulle, you can still see the red marks on her face if you look closely.

"What's wrong with your face?"

Seeing that Lu Xin still found out, Li Mingyue simply pulled off the veil.

"It's not that slut yet, relying on his fake identity as a concubine, he bullied me at will. This morning, when I asked her where she was, she slapped me and said that I was unworthy to know her whereabouts......"

As Li Mingyue spoke, her eyes turned red. Lu Xin was also a daughter, but she was the first two sisters, the eldest was a sick man, and the secretary of the military department never thought about him, and the second child died early. The original wife couldn't stand the blow, and she went with her a few years ago. The military department Shangshu thought that there must always be a hostess in the house to take care of the housework, and on weekdays, Lu Xin's mother looked more pleasing to the eye, and gave birth to a second son, so he was corrected.

Therefore, although this Lu Xin is also the identity of the concubine, but in the end, she is the daughter of the continuation of the house, and the lady of the serious family always looks down on her. So if anyone says that the concubine is not good, Lu Xin will always be hostile. And this Li Mingyue grasped this point and poured dirty water on Li Shenlan.

"It's just a country girl, and I don't know what the captain likes, so she let her fly on the branches once, but a sparrow is a sparrow after all, and if you can't figure out your identity, it's no wonder you're welcome!"

Li Mingyue wished that Lu Xin hated Li Shenlan, but she was even happier to see such a scene.

"That is to say, I have to thank my sister for her help, if I don't have my sister, I can't find out the identity of her cheap billet!"

Lu Xin has always liked to be held, so Li Mingyue always said good things one after another.

"Don't worry, the people I arranged are waiting over there. As soon as Li Shenlan comes out, are we still afraid that this slap will not be returned? Don't say it's one, but what if you peel off the skin and cramp? ”

Not long after, the play of "The Death of the White Girl" was also sung, and the actors came off the stage one by one. The spectators below chatted and ate snacks one by one, just waiting for the next scene to open. After watching the play, Li Shenlan faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Bang Chun, how long has Lu Xin been gone?"

"It's been about a stick of incense, the second lady ...... "Even Bang Chun found out that something was wrong, where does it take so long for ordinary people to go to the toilet?"

Lu Xinbao's private rooms are all blocked by screens, and the curtains on both sides of the screen are also on, and the noisy noise of the visitors downstairs is not noticed, if something happens in his private room, he will not be discovered in time at all.

"Go home immediately, this place should not stay for a long time."

Realizing the problem, Li Shenlan hurriedly got up and helped Bang Chun downstairs. I was also very annoyed in my heart, if I hadn't been too involved in watching the play, where would I have found out so late, fortunately, there was no problem, otherwise it would be too late to regret it.

When she arrived at the door, Li Shenlan instructed Bang Chun to go to the side to find the carriage that had been waiting there, and waited alone at the door of the theater, after all, there were people coming and going on the street, and the traffic was busy. No matter how rampant Lu Xin is, he doesn't dare to act on the street.

And on the second floor of the teahouse across the street, Li Mingyue and the two had a panoramic view.

"Sister Lu is really clever, this slut is really fooled."

Lu Xin listened comfortably, and the smile on her face was a little bigger.

"It's so stupid, smart but clever mistaken, does she think I'm going to do it inside? I'm afraid she won't come out! ”

Li Shenlan downstairs knew that the danger was approaching step by step, only that Bang Chun hurriedly ran back to inform the horseman that somehow there was no one to be found, and the horse pulling the cart was also put into sweat medicine and passed out.

"There are a lot of people on the street, let's go back, I don't believe she dares to do it on the street!"

Saying that, Li Shenlan pulled Bang Chun into the crowd, because the flow of people was relatively large, most of the people walked while shopping, so that Li Shenlan and the two walked very slowly.

Thinking that there would be a large flow of people, Lu Xin didn't dare to do it on the street, but Li Shenlan forgot about it. From the Zhu Theater to the Taiwei Mansion, it is not far or near, and the most important thing is that there must be an empty alley in between. The street where the Taiwei Mansion is located is mostly where dignitaries live, so ordinary people almost never set foot on that street. And there are no people walking in that alley, but Lu Xin originally intended to be unfavorable to Li Shenlan, if he took that road, he was afraid that it would be more than lucky.

"Is there a way to get to Taiwei's Mansion without taking Yong'an Lane?"

Bang Chun also lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, but there was still no positive answer.

When Li Shenlan was worried about how to go, Bang Chun suddenly tugged at his cuffs and said in a low voice: "Second Miss, it seems that someone is following us behind us."

As soon as I look back, it's not that there are five or six people in a rough estimate, and they are all five big and three rough rough men. As for how Li Shenlan saw it, she can only blame those people for not being able to disguise. Seeing Li Shenlan turn around, she casually found a stall to pretend to purchase, but several of them were stalls for her daughter's jewelry.

"She's found out that our people are following, so wouldn't we have a chance!"

Li Mingyue listened to the reply of the people under Lu Xin's hand, and was so anxious that she jumped up from the chair directly. And Lu Xin, who was sitting opposite, was indeed not flustered, and still drank tea indifferently.

"Sister Lu! Why aren't you in a hurry, if you lose it, wouldn't it be in vain to waste all these weeks! ”

Li Mingyue was bent on taking revenge on Li Shenlan, and when she saw that things were a little out of control, she roared unconsciously when she spoke, which sounded like she was yelling at Lu Xin. Lu Xin was obviously a little unhappy, frowning invisibly, but still looking down at the tea leaves that had fallen in the bowl.

"What are you afraid of, the following batch is lost, and there is the next batch. Besides, after all, you had a holiday with Li Shenlan, why are you so looking forward to her accident, so you are not afraid of getting on fire? ”

Lu Xin's words were interesting, and even the subordinates around him looked at Li Mingyue with a little disdain. Li Mingyue also heard the displeasure in Lu Xin's tone, and explained with a smile.

"Where, Sister Lu is not angry, Mingyue is here to compensate you. But my sister also knows, how Li Shenlan bullied me in the mansion and looked down on my concubine. Yes, it was Mingyue who hated her, but it was also for the sake of her sister. ”

"For my sake?" Lu Xin also felt strange, the family of the Taiwei Mansion was not in harmony, what did it have to do with him? What's more, helping Li Mingyue is a gesture, and I just watch the excitement.

Seeing that Lu Xin was hooked, Li Mingyue hurriedly smiled, "Sister Lu doesn't know, my father is preparing to let that slut enter the palace to campaign." My sister knows that the emperor has a big election in three years, but three years ago, the emperor didn't choose anyone else except for making my eldest sister a concubine. What's more, we didn't go three years ago, especially my sister, the conditions are so good, if you enter the palace, you don't have to think about it, you will definitely be selected. But if she Li Shenlan goes, with her father's thoughts, I am afraid that the incident of three years ago will be repeated. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's said that my sister has a lot of heart, and when I saw that only the eldest sister was selected, I kept an eye. I heard that most of the general elections at that time were done by my father, which made the emperor choose only the eldest sister......"

Lu Xin couldn't believe it when he heard it, but after thinking about it, the elders of the Taiwei and the two dynasties were high and powerful, so what was the difficulty if he wanted to do something? And if only Li Shenlan is elected this time, he is not young now, and he will be over his age in the next election.

"But this time the captain is not here, I have arranged so carefully to see who can save her from fire and water!"

Besides, on Li Shenlan's side, in order to disturb the sight of the tail behind them, the two wandered around the crowd for a long time, but they still didn't get rid of the people who were following. Seeing that the people were getting closer and closer, Li Shenlan was beating a drum in her heart, looking at the posture, she really didn't dare to guarantee that these people would not do it in public.

"Miss, what shall we do?" Bang Chun followed Li Shenlan's hand tightly grasping the cuffs all the way, and there were already fine sweat stains in the palms of his hands.

Behind him was a tiger's eye, and on the right was Yong'an Lane, which was unknown, Li Shenlan closed her eyes in a little despair.

"I can only gamble now, if the sky is really going to kill me, what can I do. If I am lucky enough to return home, I will not spare her! ”

When the words fell, Li Shenlan led Bang Chun to Yong'an Lane decisively. Seeing this, the tails behind them exchanged glances with each other, and decided to send a signal to the people in Yongan Lane......

Yong'an Lane not only has few people, but there are almost no houses, and the only few houses are facing out with the back door. The characteristic of the Daqi Mansion is that a large garden is often built from the back door. Therefore, even if Li Shenlan and the others called for help, the people in the mansion could hardly hear it. Everything was like the calm before a storm, except for the footsteps of the two of them, except for the occasional sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

"Miss, I'm afraid of ......" Bang Chun is still a little girl who doesn't know the world, and this kind of scene doesn't care about the difference between master and servant, and holds Li Shenlan tightly.

Li Shenlan was also scared in her heart, but she was still calm on her face.

"Don't be afraid, you will reach the road after two more turns, you rely on me, don't be afraid of me......"

"The second lady is not a heroine among women, what she said is courageous!"

A rough voice suddenly came from the corner of the alley, hearing the sound and knowing people, Li Shenlan had already guessed what kind of person was blocking him in front.

Soon a man with a big belly with a shiny face and a stubble face came out of the corner, followed by several similar people. Li Shenlan suddenly admired Li Mingyue a little, and in order to put herself to death, she did not hesitate to find so many fat-headed and big-eared bandits. Not to mention that these people are on it together, they are on one by one, Li Shenlan and the two of them can't afford half a cup of tea.

"Miss......"

When Li Shenlan heard Bang Chun calling her, she thought she was scared, so she could only hold Bang Chun's hand to comfort her. Unexpectedly, Bang Chun was a little calmer, leaning against Li Shenlan and whispering:

"Miss, so many people must not go together, the slave and maid come to the front, if they rob me, you can run back quickly while the slave and maid are stopping, and they will not dare to chase after them when they return to the street."

Bang Chun's words are not unreasonable, there are about five or six people here, and the danger behind is even more unknown. If the two of them fight hard and can't fight at all, they will both be caught. There may be a glimmer of life in this plan.

"No way!"

Li Shenlan subconsciously refused, and Bang Chun served him when he entered the house, and now it has been more than half a year. What's more, on weekdays, Bang Chun rarely delivers news to the Taiwei, and many times it depends on Li Shenlan's temperament. is a yellow flower girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, how can Li Shenlan bear to let her be bullied by these people alone.

The ruffian led by Li Shenlan and the others did not move for a long time, and they did not run, and they looked a little puzzled.

"Miss Li Er, the people above have arranged us here just to ruin your reputation. Instead of thinking of such a solution, you should simply follow us, and you will not be miserable. ”

"That's it! Besides, you don't have to toss less, anyway, no one wants it in the future, the brothers just haven't got a wife yet, and it's not bad to look at you, I'll hire the captain and marry you back! ”

The two ruffians say a word to me, and they are basically ten times ten, and they don't take Li Shenlan in their eyes at all. Li Shenlan also looked at the two of them, revealing yellowed teeth when she spoke, plus her face was full of scum, even if she was a few steps away, Li Shenlan still felt that she could smell the stench on their bodies.

"If you know my identity, how dare you come here?"

"It's just a young lady in name only, and she really thinks she's a phoenix!"

Those ruffians also ran out of patience, and without waiting for Li Shenlan to react, everyone stepped forward to prepare to commit violence against Li Shenlan. Fortunately, Li Shenlan reacted quickly, and pulled Bang Chun to run, no matter what, she can run to the best and live one by one!

"Miss! Don't take the slave with you, the slave can't run, and it will only be a burden to carry me! ”

"Don't talk nonsense! If you have the strength to say that these are useless, it is better to save your strength and save your life. ”

Bang Chun looked at the woman in front of him who was pulling him tightly, without a trace of the eldest lady's shelf. Since he entered the house, he has never looked down on his slaves and maids, and now if the scene had changed, he would have left his subordinates behind him and fled.

In a trance, Bang Chun suddenly felt that the hem of his skirt was being pulled by someone, in the end, it was two deep boudoir women, where did they run a strong man. Bang Chun was left behind, and after all, he was caught by the ruffian behind him.

Keep Li Shenlan!

This is a decision made by Bang Chun in an instant.

In the next second, Bang Chun shook off Li Shenlan's hand and pushed Li Shenlan, who was stunned and turned around, out.

"Miss, run!"

Bang Chun shouted and hugged a ruffian who was running in front, and stretched out his leg to trip another person who was about to catch Li Shenlan.

At the moment of life and death, Li Shenlan didn't have time to stand there stupidly and do something to part, so she could only grit her teeth and speed up and run out. There was a screaming cry of pleading behind her, Li Shenlan just didn't close her eyes, and all in front of her eyes were imaginary pictures in her mind. But she couldn't stop, she could only run forward and run back to the street, maybe there was hope of rejuvenation.

"Stinky, I see where you're going!"

The ruffian who chased fast stepped forward and grabbed Li Shenlan's shoulder, where is the ruthlessness of a man compared to a woman, Li Shenlan was heavily pressed and thrown to the ground.

Afraid that he would not be able to get up if he fell, by falling to the ground, Li Shenlan grabbed a handful of sand and soil in a hurry, and raised it on the face of the person who was the leader.

The sand caught in his eyes, and the man couldn't take care of Li Shenlan for a while, Li Shenlan took the opportunity to stand up in a hurry and ran to the street with all her strength!

Fortunately, after running for so long, I finally saw the paving on the street. As if seeing hope, the voice in Li Shenlan's heart told herself, it's almost fast, it's successful!

plunged into the crowd, and the ruffians chasing in the alley were suddenly blinded by the crowd's upper bunks.

"Go in and find it! If we can't find anyone, the boss won't spare us! As soon as the leader gave an order, the remaining three or four people hurriedly went into the crowd to find Li Shenlan.

Lunatic!

Li Shenlan thought that these people dared to be so rampant in the bazaar. It can be imagined how much death order the people above have given. In desperation, Li Shenlan found a stall selling jewelry at random, lowered her head and pretended to choose.

The ruffians saw that there was no one to be found, so they simply pulled over to look at a similar one, causing a commotion in the crowd, and from time to time the screams and complaints of the girls could be heard. Seeing that it was about to be behind her, Li Shenlan's hand holding the hairpin trembled uncontrollably......

Suddenly, an arm wrapped around Li Shenlan, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the emperor!

"Imperial ......"

"If the lady likes this hairpin, why don't you wear it and try it, and it looks good for her husband."

Before Li Shenlan could shout, the emperor stopped talking, skillfully picked up the pearl hairpin in Li Shenlan's hand, and inserted it into her hair bun with gentle eyes.

"Look, it's not the first time you've come out for a walk, you're sweating profusely with excitement, and you're sweating profusely, and you're messing up your bun."

Li Shenlan ran for her life for so long, not to mention that her hair was messy, but her clothes were messy and muddy.

It was precisely because of the emperor's move that his arm just blocked the sight of the ruffian who was about to reach out. In addition, the father-in-law and guards who followed behind the emperor, although they were all in civilian clothes, their eyes were still very shocking. Seeing that he couldn't be provoked, the ruffian had no choice but to retract his hand and turn around and go to the other side.

"This lady is really good at picking, this is the best hairpin in our family, and the craftsman has been playing nearly half a year early." The proprietress looked up at the emperor again, and smiled even more happily. "Look at you two talented and beautiful women, what a match made in heaven."

The proprietress said good things, thinking that the two people in front of her listened happily, but Li Shenlan was embarrassed in her heart.

After all, although he said that he was going to enter the palace sooner or later, he was said to be a little shy in addition to exceeding the rules. said that after the last resignation banquet, although Li Shenlan admired the emperor's talents, she came back and learned a lot about the emperor's affairs. For the king in front of him, in addition to liking, he admires more.

But the emperor still didn't change his face, and calmly sorted out Li Shenlan's broken hair.

"The lady is good-looking, and this pearl hairpin is even more beautiful."

"Husband...... The husband laughed. Li Shenlan didn't know why, her face was so hot that she stammered when she spoke.

"Take it, Chen De pays the bill."

The emperor smiled gently, and the sun sprinkled down as if he had a gold rim for him. Li Shenlan only felt that it was her own illusion, the young king in front of her was now like the son of an ordinary family, and she was his loving wife.

In a trance, the emperor had already pulled Li Shenlan to the back street.

"Where is Gongzi Yin going?" The emperor's honorable name is Yin Chen, and since it is a private visit to Weifu, his identity naturally cannot be exposed.

"The carriage is in the back street, I see that you are in a hurry, so I will send you back to the Taiwei Mansion first."

"Childe!"

Li Shenlan suddenly stopped the emperor's words, not that she still wanted to take him shopping, but that she had just escaped, but there was still Bang Chun in Yongan Lane, and she would never forget it.

After listening to the location described by Li Shenlan, the emperor immediately asked the close guards to take the secret guards hidden in the shadows to look for Bangchun, and immediately sent them back to the Taiwei Mansion after finding them. Although Li Shenlan was worried about Bang Chun, it was not easy for her to pick up a life, so she could only follow the emperor to the back street first and take a carriage back home.

Passing by a clothing store, the emperor suddenly stopped, looked at Li Shenlan beside him, and suddenly laughed a little embarrassed.

"It's because I haven't thought it through, not to mention your hair, or your clothes. If you go back like this, even if there is no accident, the captain will be worried, it just so happens that there is a family selling clothes, so I will take you to change the set, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

The emperor said this very gentlemanly, and Li Shenlan also knew that he was afraid that the captain would be too careful when he went back like this, so he also responded and was pulled into the store by the emperor.

The shopkeeper only regarded the two as ordinary husband and wife, and when he saw the husband accompanying his wife to pick out this person's dress, he couldn't stop praising him.

"Now there are few husbands who accompany their wives to go shopping, look at this set, this is the best material, I see that it is very suitable for Mrs. Complexion."

"Then let's do it, you wait for my wife to change it."

Although Li Shenlan knew that the emperor had been called husband and wife from the beginning, she couldn't help but blush when the emperor said this himself. The shopkeeper didn't expect it to be sold so easily, so he led Li Shenlan into the back room with a smile and redressed her.

"Your husband treats you so well." The shopkeeper changed Li Shenlan's clothes as he spoke, and led her to sit in front of the dressing table and comb her hair again.

"You misunderstood......" Li Shenlan still felt uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper didn't listen to it at all, but Li Shenlan was shy, and the smile on her face was even bigger.

"Madame also said, since ancient times, our daughter's family has to coil her hair when she marries, and your husband loves you like a daughter, and allows you to wear your hair half in braids. Besides, you have this dress, he let you change it without returning the price, why don't you see that he loves you. ”

Well, it's even more inexplicable. It's no wonder that the shopkeeper is called "my wife" when the emperor comes up, no wonder people misunderstand. Seeing this, Li Shenlan simply stopped talking, and only quietly asked the store to put on her makeup.

In addition to the back room, Li Shenlan saw the emperor looking down at a piece of fabric in front of him, and the store was even more happy when he saw this.

"The batch in front of the official is the new Yusi brocade, I see that the original dress of the lady is also light-colored, and this material makes a dress for the lady, which is a good match."

Rain silk brocade is a kind of Shu brocade, the brocade surface is composed of white and other colors of warp, the color is gradually thinned by thickness, white is gradually thickened, and gradually transitions, forming a silk rain strip with white and white, there is a bright contrast of color light, and the rain strip is decorated with various patterns and patterns, giving people a sense of rhythm that is light and comfortable.

Li Shenlan has liked monochrome clothes since she was a child, and after entering the house, the Taiwei often sent Shu brocade, but this rain silk brocade is expensive, and it often takes half a year to make it to get a horse, and Li Shenlan is also the first time to see it.

Looking at Li Shenlan looking at the brocade, the emperor smiled even more tenderly, and let people wrap it up without even asking the price.

"Childe really shouldn't have bought that material." When paying the bill, Li Shenlan saw that Gonggong Hou gave two large pieces of gold. But this spending a lot of money on herself, Li Shenlan always felt weird.

"I look good at that material, don't you like it?"

"I didn't ...... Like. Thinking that the plot in the book happened to her, Li Shenlan's voice became smaller and smaller.

Neither of them spoke for a while, and the emperor looked at the woman beside him, and his eyes flashed somehow, but the Hou Gonggong behind him raised his voice in front of the carriage, and the atmosphere eased slightly.

Only Li Shenlan and the emperor were left in the carriage to sit on one side, and Gonggong Hou sat with the coachman outside, and there was only the sound of the coachman drinking horses around.

"That day, the second young lady danced in the city, and it has been lingering in my mind."

Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly spoke, and Li Shenlan's body shook in shock. After all, he is not an ordinary son in front of him, this is the king of a country, Li Shenlan naturally drummed in his heart.

"The clumsy skills of the courtiers made the emperor laugh."

"I remember that day you were very confident, why are you so afraid of me now?"

"When I saw the emperor that day, I was looking up to you at His Royal Highness, and now at such a distance, I am naturally afraid of being so far away."

Li Shenlan's words were reasonable, and the emperor also smiled and diverted the topic and asked about Fang Cai.

"The emperor is very smart, and he should have guessed eight or nine points."

At that time, there was a large crowd, and the emperor also inadvertently saw a woman running to a stall in a panic, and after a closer look, he found that it was the second girl of the Taiwei family. Seeing that several people behind Li Shenlan were looking for something, he guessed a few points before he came to help. But now that I calm down and think about it, it is needless to say that someone is chasing her, but the people behind the scenes made the emperor not understand.

"I'm not mistaken, you've only been in the capital for a year, how can anyone have such a deep hatred for you." Just as the words were spoken, the emperor seemed to think of something, and said: "The queen mother discussed the draft with me a while ago, and each family was selected for one, but is it because of this?"

"The emperor doesn't lose the dragon and phoenix among the people, so he thought of it so quickly." This family is ugly and cannot be publicized, Li Shenlan seemed a little helpless when she said this.

Seeing this, the emperor also smiled, "It's not that I'm smart, it's just that the way your third sister looked at you on the day of the farewell banquet is still vivid." ”

"It's normal for the third sister to be anxious, but the courtiers didn't expect her to be so ruthless, but fortunately, she was lucky to meet the emperor this time, otherwise I'm afraid that it will be more than lucky. The emperor guessed it, but after all, this is the family matter of the courtier, and I hope that the emperor will not deal with it impartially, and let the courtier's father teach her a lesson. ”

"Since it's a family matter, I naturally won't interfere. It's just that you should bring more people when you go out of the house in the future, and you can have a helper. ”

Li Shenlan also thought the same way in her heart, seeing that the emperor was thinking about herself so much, she nodded and thanked him.

"Why are you so alienated from me, if you count me as your brother-in-law."

The emperor suddenly mentioned Li Mingjin, which made Li Shenlan suddenly wake up from a big dream. Yes, didn't the Taiwei enter the mansion because he looked like Li Mingjin in the first place? Speaking of which, everything he has today is just a little bit of Li Mingjin's light.

"The emperor is polite, but the courtiers can't forget the duty of the monarch and the minister, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, and the father has always taken care of the rules of the courtiers."

Unexpectedly, Li Shenlan was even more estranged, and even talked about the distinction between monarchs and ministers, and the emperor Xu also felt bored, so he simply stopped talking.

There was no other sound in the carriage for a while, and Li Shenlan suddenly felt exhausted and a little relaxed.

The sound of "coo~" broke the tranquility, but it made Li Shenlan doubly embarrassed. After a long time of escaping, coupled with the fact that he had no breakfast in the morning, except for his poor appetite when he left the house, Li Shenlan's stomach was very good at resisting from time to time.

Looking at Li Shenlan, whose face was flushed, the corners of the emperor's mouth unconsciously rose, but he pretended not to know on his face, but he still moved the refreshments placed in the distance to Li Shenlan from the coffee table on the side.

"I'm hungry after walking for so long, this is a pastry made in the imperial dining room, I like it on weekdays, you can taste it too."

After all, he didn't demolish himself in person, Li Shenlan cast a grateful look at the emperor. I was really hungry, and I couldn't care about any etiquette rules for a while, so Li Shenlan picked up the pastry and ate it.

Although it was just an ordinary osmanthus cake, Li Shenlan was so anxious that she almost couldn't lift it up, but the emperor hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

"It's really rude, the emperor forgives the sin." After two pieces of pastry, Li Shenlan realized that she was very unreserved just now, and she was tired of the king pouring water for herself, so she quickly bowed her head and confessed.

Fortunately, the emperor was not angry, looking at Li Shenlan's appearance, his face softened a lot, "This is not in the palace, only you and me, there is no need to take care of the rules." As he spoke, he pushed another plate of pastries in front of Li Shenlan. Try this sugar steamed cheese again, I think you all like this kind of sweetness when you come to your daughter's house. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shenlan couldn't refuse to reach out and take a piece. Because of the first two pieces of cushioned her stomach, Li Shenlan ate this pastry very elegantly, and the emperor just watched it and said a few words occasionally.

"Do you like it?"

"The craftsmanship of the imperial chef is naturally incomparable to the courtier's small kitchen."

As he was talking, Father-in-law Hou opened the curtain and walked in. said that it was a report from the secret guard, and Bang Chun had already found it and sent it back to the Taiwei Mansion, but the two ruffians who were caught together had to ask the emperor to decide.

"I promised the second lady not to interfere, then these people will be sent to the captain. Thinking that the captain feels sorry for you, he will naturally interrogate you strictly. ”

Gonggong Hou received the order, and was about to return to the car but was stopped by the emperor: "After returning to the palace, I ordered someone to send some sugar steamed cheese to the second lady, I see that she likes to eat."

Li Shenlan looked at the man in front of her in a daze when she heard this, Wen Ruo was a child, and it was exciting.
