Luming: Five
When the day was about to enter the summer, the second sister Yan Ying's family affairs had not yet been decided, and here my father met a family suitable for Yan Han.
Yan Han heard her aunt say that the family was a petty official in Beijing, although it was not a big family, but the foundation was solid, and they were willing to marry Yan Han and go back to be a wife. Now that the atmosphere of Daliang is open, people's thinking is not as old-fashioned as before, and the two adults want to find a suitable opportunity for the future to be harmonious, so that a couple of newcomers can take a look at each other, meet first, and come more appropriately in the future.
The place of meeting was a two-story teahouse in Kyoto City, Yan Han wore the new clothes prepared for her by her aunt, entered the door of the teahouse, and saw the elegant decoration in the teahouse, and the guests who drank tea inside and outside were also quiet and courteous.
Yan Han came with her own mother this time, and the mothers of the two parties said a few words to each other, then took hands and went to another room to drink tea, leaving Yan Han and the man she was going to marry in the room, looking at each other and saying a few words.
Yan Han's future husband's family name is Xu, the second in the family, when the housemother asked her to call the second brother Xu, at this time, the second brother Xu looked at Yan Han, saw that she was clean and tidy, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, with ignorant eyes, it also showed a different kind of beauty, not as he imagined, he was a dirty and crazy, drooling and shouting fool.
Yan Han also looked at her future husband blankly, seeing that this person was short and thin, his face was full of pockmarks, and he didn't look as good-looking as his eldest brother, let alone the fairy named Yu Zhangyan, which made Yan Han a little disappointed, but the aunt said that the two of them have been together for a long time, and they look at the character and character.
While thinking about it, Yan Han took the lead in opening his mouth, "You want to marry me, right?" ”
Second Brother Xu nodded hurriedly and approached Yan Han a little, "Yes, the family affairs will be decided another day, and the specific matters of marriage will be discussed after the summer." ”
"Oh." Yan Han responded to the next sound, feeling that he had nothing to say to this person, so he stopped making a sound, lying on the table, looking at the people coming and going on the street.
Xu Er looked at Yan Han, as if he wanted to test whether Yan Han was a fool or not, so he asked, "Third girl, can you read?" ”
Yan Han held his cheeks, "Know." ”
Xu Er's face showed joy, "Can you know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" ”
Yan Han thought for a while and said seriously: "I can ride a horse." ”
Speaking of horseback riding, Xu Er remembered the rumors that Yan Han and the Yu family's son competed on horseback riding a while ago, so he shook his head and said: "After you get married, I will teach you to chant poetry and paint, so you don't need to ride a horse anymore." ”
"Why?" Yan Han was a little unhappy, "I want to bring hydrangea with me when I get married." ”
The second brother Xu was confused, "Hydrangea, who is it?" ”
"It's my horse, and I value it so much that I can't leave it behind."
"Well, well......"
Xu Er listened to Yan Han's words, and confirmed in his heart that his future wife was really a little wooden, a girl's family, how could she say that she was fanciing a horse in her heart. Thinking of this, Xu Er's respect and restraint towards Yan Han originally faded because of the identity of the two families, and he said to Yan Han in the past: "The third girl is of noble birth, or she has been pampered since she was a child, but the Xu family has been an official in Beijing for several generations, and even the maids in the house can read and write. ”
Yan Han looked at the second brother Xu, this person had just met her this time, and he told her not to ride a horse like her father, Yan Han didn't dare to provoke her father, but right now, he really didn't want to pay attention to Xu Er, so he closed his mouth and didn't want to speak.
When Xu Er saw that Yan Han ignored him, he felt in his heart that he shouldn't have to deal with a half-stupid person, so he coaxed: "Let's not talk about horses, what do you like besides horses?" ”
Yan Han thought about it, he really hadn't encountered anything new in the near future, so he said casually: "Wang Ba, there was originally a person at home who loved to sleep, but it was asked to leave by others." ”
As soon as Xu Er heard this, the problem of the scholar for many years came up, and he immediately corrected it: "How can the third girl be so rude? The soft-shelled turtle is so ugly! ”
Yan Han looked at the second brother Xu and said suspiciously: "Don't you think that the word "Wang Ba" is easier to write and read than "soft-shelled turtle", and it is easier to understand?" ”
"You ......" Xu Er was speechless when he heard it, and felt that Yan Han was rude and quite pestering at the moment, so he could only flick his sleeves angrily.
"Poof", someone laughed lowly, Yan Han listened, it was in the compartment next to them, each room in this tea room is separated by a layer of wooden boards, although it is beautiful, but the sound insulation is average.
It seemed that he also noticed that the eavesdropping was not good, and the person in the compartment hurriedly said: "Forgive me, I didn't intend to eavesdrop, but this girl's voice was a little loud just now." ”
This sentence made Xu Er feel embarrassed and even more angry.
Yan Han straightened up, although her mind remembered that the face of the person was not very bright, but she was still relatively sensitive to sound, listening to the voice next door, she always felt very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
I was just in a daze, thinking if I had heard this sound somewhere, and suddenly I heard a noise in the teahouse, it seemed that someone was fighting, and the sound of cups and dishes breaking continued, accompanied by noisy footsteps, getting closer and closer, closer and closer.
The people in the tea room next door seemed to take action, others might have gathered their eyes to see what was going on outside, but Yan Han only paid attention to whose voice was next door, and heard the movement of the chair quickly pulled out next door.
Just thinking about it, suddenly the room they were in was rudely broken into, and Xu Erteng, who was feeling that Yan Han was embarrassed, stood up, and just wanted to ask why the other party broke in, when he saw the knife in the hand of the person who came in, his legs trembled in fright, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the man tremblingly: "You, what are you going to do?" ”
The person who came seemed to be being chased, a little panicked, seeing that he ran into the room and entered a dead end, he hurriedly glanced in the house, grabbed Yan Han in a few steps, and put the cold knife on Yan Han's neck.
was thinking about things in his head, and suddenly he was held hostage, feeling the coldness around his neck, Yan Han grinned in fright and wanted to cry, but the robber seemed to be panicking, and the fierce god yelled at Yan Han: "Don't cry!" ”
When Yan Han heard this, his grinning mouth slowly closed again, and he was so anxious that he almost forgot how to cry.
The next moment, several people followed to the door of the room, and when they were about to rush up, they saw Yan Han holding Yan Han hostage in the hands of the robbers, so they all stopped, and one of those people Yan Han knew, so he felt that he finally saw an acquaintance, and hurriedly begged for help: "Yu, Yu ......" Yu for a long time, Yan Han's brain was stuck, and he had clearly remembered his name, but he forgot it in a hurry, but now it was important to save his life, so he hurriedly said: "Yu Shenxian help!" ”
Yu Zhangyan looked at the tense situation in front of him, his face was originally heavy, but Yan Han was nervous, and he pulled an expression of wanting to cry or not, "Yu Shenxian", which actually made him have the urge to laugh in such a situation, but after all, human life is at stake, Yu Zhangyan said to Yan Han: "Don't move, you know?" After that, I was afraid that Yan Han, a girl with a few fewer tendons than others, would nod, and then said, "Don't nod!" ”
Yan Han pursed his lips, not knowing what to do.
The robber who was chased to the end saw that the person who was kidnapped at random knew Yu Zhangyan, and he had a bottom in his heart, and said to the people gathered at the door: "You all retreat and let me out, otherwise I will kill her!" ”
When Yan Han heard that the other party was going to kill her, she panicked even more.
Yu Zhangyan took the people around him to take a few steps back and said, "You can put the knife down, and you can deal with it lightly." ”
The robber laughed a few times with a hideous face, and he was a little crazy, "You checked it right, I already have several lives on my hands, what kind of leniency is it?" It's hard to get to the official mansion, I can still live! As he spoke, he grabbed Yan Han's neck with his hand, walked towards the door with a knife in his hand, slashed a few times, and shouted, "You all get out of here!" Otherwise, if I die, I will have to find someone to bury me! ”
After hearing this, looking at the man's vicious posture, Xu Er, who was originally in the tea room, trembling and hiding in the corner, had weak legs, and his legs were uncontrollable, and he was wet with a fishy smell.
Yan Han was pinched by the neck, only to feel dizzy, pulled by the man and stumbled, struggling with both hands, unable to make a sound, and had to cry.
As soon as Yu Zhangyan saw the scene in front of him, he didn't dare to act rashly, and motioned to the people around him to slowly take a few steps back, worried that if he couldn't catch this person this time, more people would be victimized in the future.
Yan Han struggled, only to feel that the bowl of tea was broken in her hand, and the edge of the shatter was sharp and sharp, cutting through her palm.
Feeling the madness of the robbers around him, Yan Han was extremely frightened, grabbed a broken piece of porcelain with one hand, and pierced it towards the neck of the man's green muscles, blood gushed out, splashing Yan Han's face, Yan Han smelled the bloody breath between his noses, just like watching the servants in the kitchen kill chickens and sheep, he stabbed down with a very fast and accurate knife, and the blood sprayed into the basin that someone had set up in advance.
But right now, she has human blood on her hands, and she actually killed someone!
Yan Han cried out, feeling the hand holding her loose, the man actually covered his neck and fell down with a pop, Yan Han saw that he was free, so he panicked, and when he saw an exit, he was about to flee out, and he just arrived in front of the window and was about to rush out, but he was grabbed by the back collar.
Yan Han wiped the blood and tears on his eyes, and looked at the high windowsill under the freshly cut bamboo.
After realizing it, the hairs on her body stood up in fright, Yan Han turned around and saw the person carrying her back collar, grinned and wanted to cry, and whimpered: "Fairy Yu, I killed someone." ”
Yu Zhangyan looked at Yan Han's appearance, his originally pretty face was wrinkled with tears, and he frowned and comforted: "Don't be afraid, he is a bad person." ”
Who knew that Yan Han looked at the second brother Xu who was already paralyzed and peed his pants next to him, and said even more sadly: "If I kill someone, I can't get married again!" ”
