Chapter 39: I Will Never Fail You
"The story of Miss Lin must be familiar to everyone, but the other descendants of the Lin family are also dragons and phoenixes among people, amazing and gorgeous! Today, we want to talk about Lin Yunqing, the second lady of the Lin family, it is said that the second young lady is sixteen years old, and she is at the age when her daughter's family talks about marriage!
"Because of his beauty like a flower and his virtuous and slender wife, there are countless sons and sons who went to the Lin family to propose marriage, and only the threshold of the Lin family has been flattened. But for some reason, Miss Lin Er refused one by one, until a few days ago, when her mother forced her to confide in the truth.
"It turned out that this Second Miss Lin had a good heart, and she had always felt guilty about the Su family because of the eldest sister killing Mrs. Shi. Don't look at her delicate as a flower, she is really a heroine among women. As early as two years ago, after Miss Lin committed suicide, she vowed to marry the Su family for her eldest sister. First, he atoned for his sins and paid off the debt; Second, it is also to restore the friendship between the two families of Lin and Su! β
The people in the audience only heard the blood surging again, and some people shouted:
"Miss Lin Er values love and righteousness, she is really a strange woman in the world, and she is many times stronger than her eldest sister who is famous and femme fatale!"
"But no, if you can get this woman as a wife, the Su family should be relieved!"
"Mr. Qing, in addition to the eldest son who died young, there are still two sons left in the Su family, I don't know which one Miss Lin Er is going to marry?"
Qing Gongzi said with a smile: "Since ancient times, children's marriages have been from the oldest to the youngest, of course, the second son of the Su family is fortunate to hold the beauty!" Just yesterday, the relationship between the two of them has been decided, and they are just waiting for the three years of filial piety of the son of the Su family to expire, and they will get married......"
Later, what they said, Zhenbei could no longer hear.
In the haze, I saw that day that year, the sun was warm, and the flowers were fragrantβ
In the depths of the flowers, teenagers and girls sit next to each other.
"Shi Tao, if one day I go before you, will you continue to be someone else's wife?" The girl asked suddenly in a soft voice.
"What do you think about, the one who goes first is designated as me, don't think about it all day!" The boy laughed and flicked her forehead.
"Just say it! What if I went before you? The girl asked.
"Good! I answer you solemnly! The young man held that beautiful face and said affectionately, "If there is really that day, I will be alone for you for a lifetime, and I will never ask about Hongchen again!" β
Seeing the sincerity and honesty in his eyes, the girl giggled: "Flim tongue!" Who allowed you to do that! β
She suddenly stopped laughing and said seriously: "Shi Tao, we all have to be good, and the white heads will not be separated in this life!" I will never fail you, and you must not fail me! β
"Fool! I will watch over you and will not allow you to leave me first! The boy hugged her into his arms and whispered.
The figures of the boy and the girl slowly became transparent, and the voices became ethereal and distant......
Zhenbei's eyes began to dilute, only to feel that it was dark, her figure shook, and in a panic, she hurriedly held on to the tabletop, the tea cup in her hand was knocked over, and the tea flowed down the table to her clothes.
"Little Er, bring a clean towel!"
In a trance, she heard Sima Duanli shouting.
Xiao Er quickly ran over and cleaned up the tabletop, and he asked with concern: "This guest officer, we have a room upstairs for guests to rest, do you want to go over and change into clean clothes?" β
Zhen Bei squeezed out a smile at him with difficulty: "No need, just wait until you go back to the inn to change!" β
Sima Duanli saw that she looked depressed, thinking that it was caused by the noisy atmosphere of this teahouse, so he hurriedly paid the bill and proposed to go out for a walk.
Out of the teahouse, the refreshing autumn breeze blew, and Zhen Bei felt that her chaotic head was much clearer.
The three of them walked along the street for a while, and seeing that their faces returned to normal, Sima Duanli was finally relieved.
As they were to move to the academy the next day, Tertre and the two reluctantly said goodbye and returned to the inn.
In the room, Xiyue and Peony were doing needlework and chatting.
Seeing that the master came back, the two hurriedly put down the needle in their hands and greeted them.
"What I need to bring tomorrow, but I've already packed it?" Zhenbei asked.
"Childe, it's been done according to your orders!" Peony crisp voice.
"Thank you!" Zhenbei took the teacup she brought and sat down at the table.
Sima Duanli saw their master and servant, full of tacit understanding, thinking of the henchman Tie Niu who stayed in Sima's mansion, and sighed secretly.
Peony secretly glanced at Xiyue, who couldn't help but smile, poured a cup of tea, and put it in front of his own son-in-law like an angry little daughter-in-law.
"Childe, please use tea!"
Sima Duanli saw Xiyue's respectful appearance with low eyebrows, and his mood instantly improved, and Tie Niu had never been so docile and considerate.
He talked to the two little maids about what he had seen and heard in the academy, which caused them to be amazed, and then turned to Zhenbei and said:
"Brother Gu, I just heard that most of the students are two people in one courtyard, and we can just live together at that time!"
Zhen Bei didn't answer directly, but asked, "I don't know if there is a courtyard where you can live alone?" β
Sima Duanli raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Gu, you are asking the right person!" I once heard the emperor say that there are only ten courtyards in the academy where students live, and all of them are inhabited by the important royal descendants of the five major countries! Like the two rooms in our Yongchuan Kingdom, one was given to Ling Shizi of King De's family, and the other was given to Lord Qianqian! Where are the extra single courtyards? β
Zhen Bei frowned, although she had been a master in the academy in her previous life, she had never lived there, and she had not paid special attention to these issues.
With her current status, living in the same courtyard with other men is obviously inconvenient, and a person like Sima Duanli who is so grinister and frizzy cannot share the same courtyard.
But at the moment, her identity is still a man, and it is impossible to live with a woman!
How can we solve this annoyance? She frowned in thought.
In the early morning of the second day, before it was full light, Sima Duanli knocked on the door next door: "Brother Gu, it's time to get up!" β
After calling several times and no one answered, he was anxious and raised his foot to kick the door.
There was a loud bang, and the whole door broke away from the door frame and flew out, shaking the whole inn!
Peony, who hurriedly put on his clothes, was so frightened that he looked at the figure outside the door and said, "But Sima Gongzi? β
Sima Duanli knew that he was rude, and said in distress: "Oops! I accidentally overtried it again! β
Peony hurriedly lit the lights and said, "Childe Tuonu told you that she has something to go out, let's just set off at the normal time, and she will go directly to the academy to find us later!" β
"Well, let's go now!" Although Sima Duanli was curious about Zhenbei's whereabouts, he also knew that he could not peep into other people's secrets.
Peony glanced out of the dim and blurred window, smiled awkwardly, and persuaded, "Master Sima, isn't it too early to set off now?" Why don't we eat something and then go? β
"Is it early?" Sima Duanli folded his fingers and calculated, "There is still a class hour before the specified time, so let's have breakfast first!" β
didn't have to wait for them to wake up the shopkeeper, the other party had already rushed over in a hurry.
Seeing the door that fell to the ground and shattered in half, he exclaimed in distress.
Fortunately, after the peony stuffed him with a piece of silver, he happily ran to make breakfast for them!
After Sima Duanli and the others arrived at Hanmen Academy, they waited for a long time before the masters in charge of the sub-residence came over with the booklet.
"The old man is the master Shen who is responsible for managing your daily life, if you have any problems in this regard in the future, you can just come to the old man to solve it! Let's start arranging where you will live during the three years of study, and before that, have you decided to live in the same yard? The old man with gray sideburns asked.
There are 87 new students who have joined the academy this time, and nearly half of them have left the team.
"Okay, these students who have already made a decision, come and register their names, sign the contract of never dividing the courtyard, and then they can go to the courtyard with Master Liu!" Shen Fuzi said.
Seeing that they were going away hand in hand, and Zhenbei was still nowhere to be seen, Sima Duanli was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Master Shen, I have a friend who hasn't arrived yet, can you count us as one?" β
Master Shen looked him up and down a few times, and said, "Does he have a written commission that he is willing to live with you?" β
Sima Duanli was stunned: "Do you still need this kind of thing?" β
