Chapter 6 I Didn't Run Away from Marriage
Hongyao still can't be completely convinced of the fact that she has just arrived in the world, and she is already an adult, and happiness comes too suddenly, so that she can't fully believe it for a while, she is always afraid that her hope is a mirage, and in the end, she will end up with empty joy.
She was afraid of a mirage, and on the other hand, she was faintly expecting the fact that she was an adult. Therefore, in order to confirm the faint expectation of an adult in her heart, early in the morning, Hongyao wandered around the courtyard of the shogunate with nothing to do, hoping to meet someone who took the initiative to talk to her.
All it takes is one person to come up and talk to her, even if it's just to make eye contact with her, to prove her suspicions.
Go, go, an old woman came up to her, and the old woman stopped in front of her and looked her up and down; Hongyao was overjoyed in her heart: Great! Someone's looking at me!
Mama's gaze stayed on her, and Hongyao's naked eyes stared at her from the previous snickering joy to being uncomfortable, and the person's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all foreign objects, and took off Hongyao's clothes, and then exposed naked in front of her.
Hongyao was uncomfortable when she looked at her, she suddenly grinned, and smiled at Mama, looking silly and cute.
"Yo, who am I? It turned out to be a broken shoe! The old lady crossed her arms over her chest, squinted at the red medicine, and said with disdain between her words.
Hongyao was stunned for a second, immediately lowered her head, and just saw the two little feet exposed, she looked up and was about to refute Mama's own lack of shoes, and how could she break her shoes, but in the next second, after seeing the old Mama's undisguised disgust and ridicule, Hongyao's newly opened mouth closed silently.
It turned out that he was scolding her! She thought it was a nice word!
What a fool!
After Hongyao sensed the hostility of the other party, she didn't plan to continue to entangle with her, and the purpose of her test had been achieved, so there was no point in entangling with the old lady.
After the old lady was ignored, her heart was on fire, she drank the red medicine, and said with a master's attitude: "Wait, white-eyed wolf with no conscience, do you know who saved you?" That's how you treat your savior? ”
That posture seems to be telling Hongyao: I am your savior, you have to be grateful to me, grateful to Dade, why don't you come and apologize to me.
But Hongyao is not stupid, if she is really Hongyao's life-saving benefactor, how could she have such a bad attitude when she met her? Doesn't this make it clear that the other party is not her savior!
If a person who meets for the first time has such a bad attitude, then, in life, it is naturally not much better.
Hongyao turned his head and smirked at her, "Then I'll thank you." ”
After receiving her insincere thanks, the old lady was even more dissatisfied with her in her heart, she glared at the back of Hongyao leaving viciously, and left angrily.
Red Medicine wandered around the yard aimlessly, she walked to a rockery and stopped, her index finger tapped her lips, tilted her head slightly, and muttered, "Who saved me?" ”
Thinking of the incident that was almost struck by lightning yesterday, she felt creepy and cold hairs stood on end.
Opposite the rockery is a circular river pond with a diameter of about 10 meters, and there is a rockery in the middle of the river pond, in which the gurgling stream water is flowing continuously, and then converges into the river pond; There are many koi fish swimming happily in the pond.
Some koi fish are still the size of a fry, and some koi are a few pounds in size, there are fiery red koi, there are fiery red and white koi, and there are pure white koi, the color is very cute and lively.
"Who's there?" An angry shout came from the air, breaking the beautiful silence.
Hongyao saw a young woman wearing a brocade dress with a beautiful neck and a clearly visible beautiful collarbone, the young woman's jet-black hair was coiled into a mature and seductive woman's bun, and the crystal clear blood-red round jade hairpin was inserted into the beautiful bun, making her completely exude the mature charm of a woman.
The young woman came to her from the rockery, walking lightly, gently twisting her slender waist, showing the softness of a woman.
She stopped in front of Hongyao with a playful smile in her eyes: "Who should I be, it turned out to be you!" ”
"Madame knows me?"
"Not only do I know you, but the entire shogunate knows you." Speaking of this, the young woman paused deliberately for a moment, she pinched the corner of her handkerchief and put it at the corner of her mouth, like a shy girl, her eyes glanced at her unintentionally, and then said: "Your name, maybe the whole Daqing Kingdom knows!" ”
Hongyao looked at the young woman's pretentious appearance, and there was a trace of disgust in her heart, she looked at the woman's appearance, and decided that she was not her savior, so she lost the desire to continue to talk to her.
The young woman seemed to see the impatience in Hongyao's eyes, she suppressed the anger in her heart, and said with a dignified demeanor: "Since we have met, let's go together." ”
Walk? Where to go? Red Medicine looked puzzled.
"My lord is kind-hearted, and he feels sorry for you when he sees you unconscious, so he carries you into the house; Since you wake up, of course, you have to go and thank my master, isn't this the most basic truth for people? The young woman sneered, alluding to Hongyao as a white-eyed wolf who didn't know how to be grateful.
"Sir?" Hongyao asked a little confused.
"Come with me!" The young woman became impatient, and said in a serious voice.
At the corner pavilion of a flying eaves and corners, the curtain elephant and the eldest lady Hua Zhili are sitting under the pavilion chatting.
"Master, eldest lady, the concubine got up early to take a walk in the garden, and met the girl who rescued her yesterday." The young woman stood respectfully in front of the curtain elephant and said in a loud voice.
Hanari, who was talking and laughing with the curtain elephant, completely took away the smile on his face when he saw the person who came, and became unsmiling.
Liu Qianqian had a faint smile between her eyebrows, she pulled the red medicine from behind a grandmother, and said with a smile: "Master, madam, the little girl is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, when the concubine met her, she shouted with the concubine that she had to thank the lord and the lady in person, and the concubine said to the little girl, the lord and the lady are both kind-hearted people, you just have this heart, the little girl refuses, I have to take her to you and thank you in person." ”
Hua Zhili looked at Liu Qianqian without squinting, and said in his heart: What kind of bad idea is this Liu Qianqian fighting, and the attitude before and after has turned so big; Yesterday he said that he would find a random place to throw people away, but today he pretended to be kind.
Thinking of this, the corner of the eldest lady's mouth pulled up a disdainful smile: it's not bad to see her like a clown jumping off the beam.
Hongyao turned her head to look at this young woman who was full of lies and inconsistent in appearance, and was a little dissatisfied in her heart; However, there is also some merit in her words - Hongyao does intend to express her gratitude to people in person, since the young woman personally brought her to the savior, this also saves her a lot of trouble, after all, the yard is too big, and it is difficult for her to find her savior in a short time on her own.
Therefore, I will not worry about her for the time being.
Hongyao looked at the eldest lady who was not smiling, and then looked at the curtain elephant who was not angry but mighty, and she said respectfully: "Thank you Lord and Mrs. for saving your life!" ”
"Now that she's in good health, the girl should go home as soon as possible." Mu Xiangqian took a deep look at the wedding dress on Hongyao's body, and said something.
Hongyao was stunned for a second, she didn't expect her benefactor to reply like this, she thought she would at least say: You're welcome or something.
She stared at Mu Xiangqian's eyes for a few seconds, and a trace of imperceptible disgust was caught by her, and the mystery in Hongyao's heart became even greater.
She just came to the house, and she has no intersection with the house, why do people here look at her unpleasantly everywhere? Hostile to her at every turn?
"What else do you have to say?" Mu Xiangqian saw the confusion of the red medicine and asked again.
"It's okay." Hongyao covered the confusion in his heart, and after speaking, he turned around to leave.
"Wait." Liu Qianqian smiled and shouted red medicine, and said to the curtain elephant: "Master, the little girl doesn't even have a pair of shoes under her feet, and she is far away from the mountains and mountains, and I am afraid that a pair of little feet will be difficult to protect; I'll ask Mama to go back and get her a pair of shoes, and it's not too late to put them on and go. Liu Qianqian said empathetically.
When Hongyao heard the word "shoes", she suddenly thought of the old lady she met not long ago and called her broken shoes, and she frowned irritably: "Thank you Madame for your kindness!" Hongyao is used to it, so Mrs. Lao doesn't bother about the shoes. ”
"Wait. Then why don't you send someone to take you back? ”
Hongyao was a little impatient, but because of the other party's good intentions, she couldn't show her dissatisfaction, and the province was said to be ignorant.
"Red Medicine Girl, where do you live?"
Family? It's long gone.
She has been dead for so many years, how can she still have a home!
Liu Qianqian regarded Hongyao's silence as an unwillingness to answer, shame and answer, and she asked again: "...... husband of Hongyao girl?"
Husband? Not long after she died, she probably married another woman.
"Alas, such a good girl can't be the master of her own marriage, poor life, you can only avoid a dissatisfied marriage by escaping marriage, and in the end, you will be laughed at by the family, and you will be punished, and the reputation of a woman's chastity for a lifetime will be gone!" Liu Qianqian said that when she was emotional, her tears flowed down her eyes, and she looked pitiful.
"I didn't run away from marriage! Didn't disgrace the family either! Hongyao corrected Liu Qianqian's rhetoric and said solemnly.
"I know you're uncomfortable when you say that." Liu Qianqian is also an empathetic and considerate appearance.
Hongyao was so angry that she wanted to beat her up on the spot to extinguish the fire, is there something wrong with this woman's brain?
"I repeat, I didn't run away from marriage!"
Liu Qianqian smiled slyly, and then asked sadly, "Then why did you appear here in your wedding dress?" ”
Since he didn't run away from marriage, why did he go out to the street in his wedding dress? No matter how much you defend yourself, no one will believe your words. Liu Qianqian said proudly in her heart.
Hongyao was just about to speak, but after thinking about it, he stopped again.
On the day of the wedding, she died on the marriage bed before she entered the cave room with her husband, so her current appearance is actually what she looked like when she died, but how many people believe this kind of words?
"Anyway, I just didn't run away from the marriage!" Hongyao raised his voice, glared at Liu Qianqian angrily, and emphasized.
"I know that running away from marriage is a lifelong thing for a woman, like an ugly scar, deeply imprinted in my heart, I don't want to face it, and I don't want to admit it, you're still young, it's a pity!"
"What the hell do you want? I have no grievances with you, and I don't know each other, why do you want to target me everywhere? Red Medicine couldn't bear it.
Liu Qianqian's crying pear blossoms brought rain: "Master, the concubine just saw that she was young and accidentally went astray, pity her, feel sorry for her, but I didn't expect her to say this about me." ”
Mu Xiangqian was a little displeased and said: "She can go back as much as she wants, this matter is over, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future!" ”
At this time, the butler came over to inform him that breakfast had been prepared and that it was time to move to the hall for dinner.
