Chapter 8 That girl was taken by my son-in-law
Ran Ying walked slowly along the water alone. The midday sun was already a little hot, shining on the water, sparkling, and even people's eyes could not be opened. A warm wind blows, and wisps of catkins are flying in the air, which is the prosperous scene of spring.
But Ran Ying's mood was not happy. Ziqing has not come to the academy since she returned home that day. She's been restless for the past few days, and she can't say why. always vaguely felt that her and Ziqing's affairs were a little out of control.
I don't know if Ziqing told his brother about it, although Ran Ying didn't report any hope, but inexplicably felt that if Ziqing really went back and said it, it would be the proof that she was happy with her. Of course, it is easy to talk about feelings, but there is no basis for words.
Ran Ying understands that the Yu family is powerful, Ziqing's marriage partner must be the right match, and it is common for wealthy families to consolidate and expand their power through marriage, how can the Yu family let Ziqing come by his temperament in such a major matter of vital interest.
Ziqing is still a child, and she has been loved by her mother and brother since she was a child, thinking that this kind of matter of interest can make her brother give in by rolling around and grinding hard. He doesn't understand that only those with power have the right to speak. He thought that his brother was in charge of everything in the family because he was old, but in fact, it was just because he was in a high position.
That strange noble man also made Ran Ying quite uneasy. She still doesn't know who he is, but she has been molested twice by him for no reason. She knew that the man would reappear, but she didn't know when the next one would be.
Walking and walking, I came to the bottom of the Baqiao. As soon as Ran Ying looked up, she saw a pair of young men and women standing on the bridge. was about to avoid it, but found that the young man in the green shirt was not Ziqing?
Ziqing stood opposite the girl in yellow, I didn't know what she was talking about, and I didn't notice her.
The woman in yellow gently took Ziqing's hand, and while talking, she swayed on both sides, innocent and smiling like a flower.
Ziqing turned her back to her and couldn't see her expression. But he did not refuse the woman, and let her take his hand.
When Ran Ying saw it, it was like drinking a jar of vinegar violently, her heart was so sour that her tears were about to fall. couldn't help but scold in my heart, these light waves of the family, the day before yesterday swore that they would marry you into the door, and turned their heads to look at others hand in hand, with affection.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him: "That's Yu Ziqing's fiancΓ©e, the eldest daughter of Li Bi, the assassin of Lingzhou, I heard that her name is Li Yangjun." β
The sound was not loud, but to Ran Ying, it was like a burst of thunder on the ground.
She turned her head sharply and saw the tall and handsome noble man standing behind her, with a slight smile of unknown meaning on the corner of her mouth. The sunlight shone down from behind him, inlaid him with a golden outline, and he felt that the luxurious temperament was like a celestial man.
"FiancΓ©e?" Ran Yingzhi felt a breath in her chest, and she panicked. When did he have an unmarried wife?
Yu Wentai seemed to smile: "This family affair was recently given by the Supreme Emperor, and everyone in the court knows about it." The wedding date is next month, and Li Yangjun just entered Chang'an from Lingzhou a few days ago to get married. It was a bit hasty, but both families were quite satisfied with the marriage. β
He barely told her that this marriage was what he strongly proposed to the emperor.
Just helping Yu Ziqing think of a girl who is the right person in the court made him spend a lot of time. It is necessary to keep the two families from losing their dignity, and not to let the two families get too close to each other to prevent them from forming a party. After thinking about it, it finally occurred to me that there seemed to be a girl waiting for a girl in the house of Li Bi, who was far away in Lingzhou.
is a dignified Shang Shuling, and he actually started to be a matchmaker. Yu Wentai couldn't figure out where he got the momentum.
Ran Ying looked at the figures of the two people on the bridge, and her chest ached faintly. She took a deep breath, turned her head and said in a muffled voice, "That's really a great thing for Ziqing." No wonder he didn't come to the academy recently, it turned out that he was going home to prepare for marriage. β
said that he wanted to marry her, but he quietly went to prepare for marriage with someone else. It turns out that the oath is really just a joke, and the past is over.
Yuwentai saw that she was beating her spirit, but he was frustrated, and smiled faintly: "That day, Gu reminded you not to be tempted by these children of the family. Their marriage partner can't be your turn. β
Ran Ying didn't want to show a sad look in front of a stranger, so she lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I'll go first." β
Yu Wentai watched her walk past him, and walked forward silently alone. Lost and depressed, the thin figure looked particularly thin at the moment.
Ran Ying herself felt strange. Ming Ming repeatedly warned himself that he should not take his promise to Ziqing too seriously. But why is it that he is still so sad when he knows that he is engaged to someone else?
Those vows, how can they fall with the wind so easily.
Thinking about it, my eyes became wet. She looked up and blinked vigorously, the tears already retracted. But somehow, suddenly a warm wind blew in my face, and the wind carried the most common fine catkins in spring.
There happened to be a few strands of catkins floating into Ran Ying's eyes-
There was a brisk sound of horses' hooves behind her, and the noble man rode a black and shiny horse to her side, and said loudly: "The weather is fine today, how about taking you to a place to relax?" β
He looked down at her, and saw that her eyes were red and two lines of tears were falling.
He was stunned. Why is this kid still crying? Does the loss of a Yu Ziqing make her so sad?
I didn't expect her eyes to be red, she looked aggrieved, she looked helpless, and she looked quite cute......
Ran Ying raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, feeling that the discomfort in her eyes had disappeared. She looked up and asked, "Where to go?" β
Yuwentai beckoned behind him, and He Louqi, who had been following not far behind him, whistled loudly, and a beautiful red horse immediately ran to Yuwentai's side, standing side by side with the black horse.
Yu Wentai asked, "Since you have been in the academy for these days, you should be able to ride a horse, right?" β
Ran Ying gave him a blank look, took the reins, and pedaled up. Two horses galloped side by side.
On the bridge, Ziqing was entangled by Li Yangjun and was upset, when he suddenly heard a whistle not far away, and when he looked back, he saw Ran Ying and a man in fancy clothes riding a horse and leaving side by side. He knew that this scene was seen by Ran Ying, so he hurriedly shook off Li Yangjun's hand and said, "We'll talk about the rest later!" As he spoke, he raised his feet and chased after him.
"Yu Gongzi!" Li Yangjun also followed.
Ziqing didn't care about Li Yangjun at all and staggered behind him, only following the direction where the two horses were far away: "A-Ying! A-Ying! β
Ran Ying heard Ziqing's shout behind her and looked back.
I saw that his face was in a hurry, and he was embarrassed to chase after him with a wide shirt.
I couldn't bear it in my heart, thinking about whether to stop and listen to what he was going to say, and the man next to him said coldly: "What is there worth lingering about this negligent man?" In this world, there are many thin lovers whose mouths are sweeter than honey and whose hearts are harder than stones. β
Ran Ying looked at him sideways. He held the reins in his hand and looked straight ahead, his face cold and hard. Ran Ying gritted her teeth, turned her head and stopped looking at Ziqing, and clamped the horse's belly between her feet: "Drive!" The horse sped away.
Yu Wentai looked at her back thoughtfully. thought to herself, she really liked Yu Ziqing. It's just that I don't know the secret of the jade seal of the country, whether she has mentioned it to Yu Ziqing. No matter how smart a woman is, once she has feelings, she is stupid and useless.
Over there, Ziqing watched Ran Ying leave faster and faster, but her legs became heavier and heavier as if they were filled with lead. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, he was so depressed that he almost cried.
Originally, a few days ago, he pestered his mother at home crying and making trouble, arguing that Fei Aying would not marry, and he was on a hunger strike and coquettish. The old lady Yu was widowed at an early age, and there were only two sons, Yu Jin and Ziqing. Yu Jin was precocious and took on the burden of the family early. Therefore, Ziqing, who is only a teenager, has become the jewel in the palm of the old lady, although she is unwilling to marry a girl from a low family to enter the door, but she can't help the younger son to make such a fuss, thinking that the eldest son Yu Jin has a smooth journey, and the Yu family is now relying on Yuwentai, and has been stable in the court, so why should the younger son have such high requirements. I also went to talk to Yu Jin about it every day.
Yu Jin finally couldn't resist his mother and Anu to mess with him, so he nodded and agreed to the marriage. But before he said it, the Supreme suddenly issued an edict to marry him and Li Bi's eldest daughter.
Because the marriage between Yu Jin and Ah Ying was only verbally agreed by the Yu family, now that there is a marriage given by the Supreme Emperor, Ah Ying's side naturally has to give up. Ziqing has been worrying about this matter for the past few days, and she has complained in her heart that the emperor ignores government affairs, but she is keen to mess with mandarin ducks. The next day, Agan said that Li Yangjun had arrived in Chang'an and asked him to accompany him. He was still thinking about how to shirk this marriage, and he hadn't had time to talk to Ah Ying about all these things, why was Ah Ying bumped into him and Li Yangjun at this juncture!
And who was the man next to her?
didn't watch out for He Louqi stabbing out obliquely, blocking in front of him, and persuaded with good eyebrows: "Little boy, don't chase after him." You can't catch up. β
Ziqing ran out of breath, was stuffy, panting and said angrily, "Who are you?" β
He Louqi smiled: "We have met, why is the little boy so forgetful?" β
Only then did Ziqing look at him, it was actually the attendant who came to the market that day to invite Ran Ying.
He intuitively felt that he was caught in a conspiracy, and asked in a trembling voice, "That's your son-in-law...... Who the hell is he? β
He Lou Qi was upright, and said word by word: "My son-in-law is Yuwentai." β
Ziqing was shocked: "Yuwentai? β
How could it be him? Today's great general, Shang Shuling? On weekdays, when my brother mentions him at home, his tone is very awe-inspiring, saying that Yuwentai is a prodigy who is not born in the world, how can it be him? Where is he going to take Ah Ying?
He ...... He ......" Ziqing opened his mouth and stammered, he was full of thoughts at the moment, but he couldn't ask anything.
He Louqi said: "The villain advised the son to stop here. That girl was taken by my son-in-law. β
