Luming: Nine
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Yan Han got a lantern from Yu Zhangyan, as well as undisguised praise in front of the public, and within a few days, there were boiling rumors.
At the beginning, people heard some people present say that the eldest prince Yu may be a silly girl who likes the Wang family, but this rumor did not spread for long, and it was overturned by many people, the reason is because Yu Zhangyan said that this person's eyes are above the top and his temperament is cold and arrogant, how can he look down on a stupid person who ordinary people can't look down on? And what he did for the first time was to send lanterns and say good things, he must be the excellent second girl of the Wang family, so he loves the house and Wu, and helps his sister protect his sister, so he will be so protective of Yan Han.
However, Yan Ying, who is Yan Han's second sister, doesn't believe it, what kind of attitude Yu Zhangyan has towards her, she can feel it, and what kind of attitude the other party has when he looks at her stupid sister, and she is not as unconscious as her stupid sister.
At the beginning, Yan Ying felt that Yu Zhangyan coaxed Yan Han with a good voice, but he wanted to give himself a gentle and kind name, but if you think about it carefully, this person is noble, and he does things on weekdays, it is said that he treats prisoners in Dali Temple, and he can be regarded as a ruthless person, such a person will definitely not coax her stupid sister for the sake of false fame, so it seems that Yu Dagongzi is interested in her sister, but Yan Ying feels that it must not be a love between men and women, It should be that the noble son suddenly met such a stupid girl as Yan Han, and he had a good time, so he wanted to tease him.
What others think, Yan Han didn't care, only after getting Yu Zhangyan's affirmation that day, he was happy for several days. swept away the bad impression that Yu Zhangyan had left in her heart before, and became a good person like a big brother.
Yan Han told her aunt about this matter, and happily said that she had been affirmed by others, but her aunt coughed a few times with a pale face, and worriedly advised Yan Han that if Yu Zhangyan was closer, stay away from him. As Yan Han's mother-in-law, she felt in her heart that how could someone like Taishifu look down on Yan Han, if the other party was a playboy and played with Yan Han, then Yan Han would be ruined for the rest of his life.
Yan Han nodded, originally wanted to be friends with that Yu Zhangyan, but her aunt didn't let her, which made her feel a little pity, but Yan Han knew that she was her aunt's biological daughter, and no matter what her aunt said or did, it was for her good, even if she didn't understand, she knew that it was right to be obedient.
It didn't take long for the second sister's marriage to be settled by the family, although the second sister was a little reluctant, but she couldn't resist her father, and she could only respond after crying, and the day was set in the winter moon, and the whole family, except for the second sister, began to rejoice Zhang Luo's marriage.
Before the girls of Daliang got married, they all had to go to the fairy temple to burn a stick of incense a month in advance, and the housemother of the family led the daughters of the family to burn incense and petition, hoping that the future life would be harmonious and beautiful.
On the first day of going to the temple, there was a light snow in Kyoto, and after that, the ground had melted, and only the treetops were still faintly white.
A group of people took a carriage to the foot of the mountain, along the mountain road to the temple, there was a large white mist in the hillside, the temple on the slope of the mountain looked as if it was in the clouds, the fourth sister who had just been in the middle of the mountain could speak, and happily said to the master mother and the second sister: "Today on this mountain and fairyland, there must be a fairy arrived, and the wish made by the second sister to burn incense will definitely come true." ”
When the second sister Yan Ying heard this, she was still cold and indifferent, and she didn't show much joy, but the housemother next to her was talked about to her heart, and praised the fourth sister for her intelligence a few times.
When the fourth sister was complimented, she was a little fluttering, turned her head to look at Yan Han and said, "The third sister might as well have a wish, maybe she can make a family decision when she turns back." ”
Yan Han laughed twice, "Make so many wishes, what if the ears of the gods can't hear them?" Let's let the second sister make it, her wish will come true first, and we will make it later. ”
Yan Ying, who was walking silently, glanced at Yan Han, and then looked at her fourth sister, who had the most clever mouth, she liked the fourth sister's cleverness the most on weekdays, and now the words of the two people were in her ears, and somehow, she felt that what the silly sister said was more sincere and warm.
The more they went up the mountain, the air seemed to be colder than at the foot of the mountain, and the snow that had melted on the stone steps was blown by the cold wind, and some places condensed into a thin layer of ice.
After a while, the hostess looked at the fairy temple built on the mountainside, sighed and said: "I will become such a family in my life, before the first marriage, today is the best day, if it is delayed after noon, I am useless at this age, and I will drag you down in vain, or a few girls go first, I am waiting for you at the foot of the mountain." ”
Yan Ying originally wanted to wait for her mother, but it can be seen that her mother's attitude is firm, and she finds that the hour is indeed not early, so she can only obey this arrangement.
They came out this time, took two small servants and a mother-in-law, and left one at the foot of the mountain to guard the carriage, and now the mother-in-law who was waiting helped the master mother to go down the mountain, leaving only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy to follow them and continue to walk towards the fairy temple.
The more you go up, the more slippery the mountain road becomes, the fifth sister is small, and she almost fell down several times, but Yan Han is either riding a horse or jumping around on the rockery stones on weekdays, stepping on the ice and paying attention, and her body can still walk steadily, but the distance that can be reached in half an hour has now been close to an hour, and if it goes on like this, it will have to delay the auspicious time.
After walking forward for a while, the fourth sister pointed to a path on the side in surprise and said: "You see there is a path there, it seems to lead to the temple, there is little snow and water on the path, let's go from there." ”
Yan Han stood on the steps and twisted his head to look at the path, and sure enough, he saw that there was not much snow on the path, and now that the cold wind was blowing, the stone steps were more likely to form ice than the dirt road, and if he walked the path, it would indeed be faster.
However, Yan Han looked at it, although the path was fast, there were more trees over there, and it was white, and he couldn't see how far it was at all, and there were occasionally one or two pedestrians on the main road paved with stone steps, but on the other side of the path, no one could see it.
The second sister Yan Ying also seemed to have concerns, stopped and looked at the path and hesitated, but the fourth sister was clever, glanced at the past, and said to everyone: "There are footprints on this road, someone must have passed." As he spoke, he persuaded: "If we go down the steps like this, we will definitely delay the hour, and when the time comes, my mother will find out, and I don't know how sad she will be." ”
As soon as she heard her mother, the second sister Yan Ying softened, nodded and said, "Then let's go this way." ”
When the fourth sister saw that her opinion was adopted, she immediately said happily: "The second sister has to tell my mother that this is the way I found, and when the second sister gets married smoothly, I will ask my mother for a reward." ”
Yan Ying listened and said impatiently: "You talk a lot, you can't do it." ”
The fourth sister laughed, stopped in moderation, and took a few sisters to lead the way on the path and went towards the temple.
After walking for a while, when she saw that the fairy temple was not far away, the fourth sister just wanted to speak proudly, but she heard a man's voice in the forest talking: "It's not easy to make money in the winter moon, it seems that you have to do a few votes." ”
The other person seemed to hesitate and said: "This is guarding Kyoto City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is it a bit dangerous to do it here." ”
"Haha, big brother, you haven't noticed this, the more the feet of the Son of Heaven, the more relaxed people's precautions are, just like now people feel that they are guarding the fairy temple, and they are all very stable in their hearts, those rich wives and sons who burn incense and kowtow, don't even bring a servant, for fear that they will show their insincerity if they bring more, we moved here, grabbed things and ran towards the city gate, and waited for the delicate and weak to go down the mountain, and then reported to the city to report to the official, we have all gone out for hundreds of miles, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't catch up."
The other person hesitated, but thought for a moment, as if he had used some sharp weapon to cut off the branch next to him, and made up his mind viciously: "Damn! , this vote! ”
Because of the white mist and the hidden branches, the men didn't have the idea to come here, but at this time, the few people who listened to this conversation were already pale with fright, and their hearts were beating like drums.
The older second sister Yan Ying wanted to signal everyone not to make a sound and quietly retreat, but their fourth sister who walked in front was already frightened, and ran towards the place where she came from with a scream.
But how could a few girls in the boudoir run past the bandits in the mountains and forests, but after a while, the fifth sister, the youngest and weakest physique, was arrested.
The little man who followed them wanted to go back to save his master, but when he looked back at the knife in the robber's hand, his legs were weakened in fright, and he fell and ran forward, but after not running a few steps, he was slipped by the snow under his feet and rolled down the hillside.
Yan Han was originally the fastest runner, and she ran ahead of her fourth sister in a moment, but when she heard the fifth sister's cry for help, Yan Han stopped for a moment, turned her head back, and couldn't bear it, and wanted to go back to save the fifth sister, but she was dragged by the second sister who followed closely behind, and scolded angrily: "Are you stupid? Don't go and call someone! It's hard to beat them! ”
Yan Han had always listened to the words of the second sister, and thought that she really couldn't beat those robbers, so she said urgently: "Second sister, I, I'll go and call someone, you stick to it first!" ”
