Volume II-14 Journey to Luoyang (I) (II)

+++++++++++++++++++ the demarcation line of the trip to Luoyang (I) (below).

After Mr. Liu took Lan Ruoxue to Xianyang City for lunch, there were many literati in the inn in the city, but Mr. Liu was tired of the journey, and the old man did take advantage of the lunch to go to bed for a nap. And Lan Ruoxue took the maid and servant woman to slowly turn around the jewelry fat powder and silk shop in the city. Although the sisters of the Liu family often went out in the city back then, they were not as grand as the young ladies of the Lan family, in addition to the maid and the coachman, there was also a team of bodyguards to follow. All of them are tall and strong, uniformly dressed and sabered, and at first glance they have undergone formal training. Ordinary people can only sigh when they see it, the queen family, the young lady from the Marquis Kangning Mansion is different.

Lan Ruoxue herself never talks to outsiders, and if there is anything she needs to ask and deal with, it is the servant woman next to her who negotiates on her behalf. Full of everyone's beautiful style. Whether you're looking at the products in the store or sitting down to drink tea, behave quietly and elegantly.

While everyone was looking at Lan Ruoxue, Lan Ruoxue was also looking at the women in Xianyang City. Xianyang City is not as prosperous as Luoyang, and the women here are obviously a little rustic whether they are dressed or treated with people. Xianyang City has a stable atmosphere, so the etiquette requirements for women's boudoirs are stricter than those in Luoyang, and the restrictions on women are more than those in Luoyang, but at the same time, they are also less interesting. She used to go in and out of the palace and grew up beside the queen, and her value and means for women were of course different from ordinary people's knowledge. No matter how talented a woman is, she must have charm to tie up a man, such as Concubine Chen in the palace, whose aunt has to be dignified and steady as a queen, which loses to those women who can be obedient and playful. On the way to Xianyang, she has been hesitating which dress to choose tomorrow, and at this time she made up her mind to choose the silver and red silk, which outlines her well-developed waist vividly, and she is also stable when she sits.

After the gambling game was opened in the city, the servants of the Liu family had already inquired clearly. The paper kite listened to it and felt that the people in Xianyang City were really interesting, and this kind of affairs could also be gambled, but even if they had the eyesight, they could see the key to this marriage. On the contrary, Mr. Liu frowned a little when he heard this, he didn't want everyone to know, in case there was anything and there was a way out. If this marriage fails, Xue'er's reputation will be damaged, and the Lan family's actions will also fall into the eyes of opponents in the court. On the contrary, Lan Ruoxue is very calm, everyone in Xianyang City says that Tang San is a wanderer, but her experience over the years has taught her that the more ridiculous people are on the surface, the more likely she is to have a different side, how can a prodigal son get into the eyes of her shrewd prince brother and be with him all the year round. And the marriage of such a person is often based on interests, not to mention himself, he is the prince's cousin, and the identity of the queen's adopted daughter is enough. So after holding the lamp, she asked the paper kite to take out the silver and red silk dress and iron the incense, check the matching jewelry powder, and then turned off the light early and went to sleep.

And the third young master of Tang Zhuang in the courtyard is still warm late at night, and the person who has been tired for a day is lying comfortably on the bed after enjoying some tenderness just now, flipping through the notes of the Sanskrit medical book that Lian'er wrote for him, and the people around him are looking at another book. He turned the page by himself, smiling and looking at her beside him, this quiet day of companionship was something he had not dared to imagine for many years. Now that I am in it, I often feel that happiness is not real, I am afraid that it is a dream, and I have to verify it from time to time.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Make sure I'm not dreaming." He placed the Codex on the small table beside the bed, took the book from her hand, and covered her entirely. She nudged him lightly: "Stop messing around, rest early, there will be something tomorrow." ”

Feeling the wonderful feeling of silky hair sliding through his fingers, he smiled even more: "I haven't had fun just now, I'm just afraid that you are tired, and now it's a little uncomfortable, just for a while, when it's over, you can help me walk for another week, I'm afraid that tomorrow will be more energetic." ”

"What do you want to do with that spirit? Are you still afraid that Miss Lan will not look down on you? ”

"You little goblin, don't think I don't know that you and He Fatzi are planning to join forces to earn a vote on your husband."

"Miss Lan is naturally beautiful and comes sincerely, isn't it worth cherishing?"

"Jealous?"

“.... ...”

"The only thing I want to cherish in this world is you who are already by my side."

"If one day you live in your heart, others will tell me that I will not haunt you and will give you freedom."

"What kind of free master is not rare, it is rare for you to pester me." Feeling that her body that had just endured the rain and dew soon opened up for him again, he wrapped her around herself, and as the temperature rose, she couldn't help but wrap him tighter: "I don't want you to pester me like this, it's not enough." ”

The spring water in the tent is rippling, and the scent of rose and rosemary is more and more diffused in the air, and the scent of green pine and plum is mixed more deeply, gradually turning into a warm and sweet fragrance, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, as if walking in the warm spring light. Suddenly it snowed during the night, and the puffs soon filled the courtyard, and the air was exceptionally cold. After a burst of fragrance dissipated, the guards on night duty around them involuntarily took a few deep breaths in the dark, feeling warm and warm, and their mood became a lot more relaxed. Several people are in the same mind, this future third young grandmother is really a capable person, and it is difficult to match her in the skills of concocting spices.

Lian'er woke up early in the morning, but she was lazy and weak, not to mention that someone's arms were warm and comfortable, so she drilled into it again. Xinjie smiled happily, his girl was tired and gnawed by him last night, and her jealous and awkward appearance was particularly lovely, he didn't hold back, so he coaxed her to change her tricks and offer herself. However, good times are always short-lived, and after glancing at the hourglass, when it was time to practice, he was really reluctant to be alone, but the subtle action of checking the hourglass also alarmed her: "Get up, it's time for you to practice." ”

"If you accompany me, I won't practice swords today, let's continue..."

"Get up," she pushed him away gently, "I have business today." ”

"Hey, okay, I really want to do nothing one day and stay with you all the time."

"When that time comes, you're just going to get bored." He also knows that it's just talk. finally got up and started practicing, and Lian'er went to clean up the battlefield built by the two last night, and couldn't let Liu's mother see this embarrassing scene.

After packing up everything, she put on the aqua blue dress and used a plain silver head on her head. took care of everything, prepared a pot of hot jujube tea for Xinjie, and went to Mrs. Tang's. The old lady was happy in the morning, she had just asked someone to prepare a few Jiangnan snacks, and was about to call her grandchildren to come, when she saw her coming, she pulled her to sit down first, and before she could speak, the new moon jumped in, and the Wang family also sent her a post.

"Sister Lian, are you going out like this today? It's too plain. I heard that Nalan Ruoxue is exquisite, from her clothes to her head, and she looks like a beautiful family. You are so beautiful, dress up a little, there is no one in Xianyang City who can compare with you, why do you give her the limelight today. What if the third brother is dazzled? ”

"You stinky girl, is your third brother a person who is easy to look at?" Xinjie heard the girl talk about him in the yard, and when he came in, he patted the little girl's head with a smile.

Everyone saw that Xinjie didn't have a fancy dress today, just a blue cloth shirt, a white belt, and a silver hairband on his head. The whole person is in the wind, and the ordinary cloth shirt can't hide his outstanding demeanor. Xinyue rolled her eyes, and then showed a wicked smile: "Third brother, what kind of incense are you smoking, so sweet?" You are such a majestic man, if you smoke incense, you are not afraid that the lady of the Lan family will think you are a sissy? ”

"It doesn't matter to me what she thinks."

"That's the same, it's just that the fragrance of your body is exactly the same as the sweet fragrance on Sister Lian's body, you go out in pairs like this, the same incense, the same tone of clothing,... ..."

"What does the little girl want to say? They don't have to guess, I'm a couple with your sister Lian, and I can't tolerate outsiders. ”

Lian'er lowered her head and didn't say anything, Xinyue was a little surprised that the third brother spoke so bluntly, and raised her eyes to look at Chen Biyan.

"You stinky girl, what do you see, your sister Lian is your future third sister-in-law, my wife has no opinion. Accompany your brother and Sister Lian to have dinner and go for a walk at Wang's house. There are a lot of people over there today, and there are many people, so you have to protect your sister Lian at all times. ”

Luming Academy is busy today, and the literati and artists who have received invitations in the city, talented and beautiful people have arrived one after another. God gave the Wang family face today, it snowed heavily overnight last night, and it was sunny this morning.

The carriage of the Lan family is particularly eye-catching, not only the wood and lacquer paintings are exquisite, but the curtain ornaments hung are all fine, all of which are meticulous and luxurious. And Miss Ruoxue of the Lan family, wearing a white fox with a silver-red silk skirt inside, a jade head on her head, lined with her snow-white skin, graceful and luxurious, with a high nose bridge, and a slight drop in the corners of her mouth, she is an assertive person. A pair of phoenix eyes, slender and slightly warped, elegant with three points of cleverness and five points of shrewdness. Regardless of the appearance, it is this white fox head and jade head face, which compares the young ladies of each family.

Entering the courtyard, the ladies of the Wang family hurriedly came to welcome them into the middle hall.

The Tang family's young lady came relatively late. Although it was snowing heavily, the two Tang sons still came on horseback, unlike the other sons and brothers who hid in the carriage. Xinyuan is dressed in brown and straight, although he is not as handsome and flamboyant as Xinjie, but he is also a handsome son with outstanding martial arts. Last night, Wang Zemin gathered the children of the Wang family together, educated them, analyzed the situation in the court, and asked them to make friends with the Tang family brothers today. So as soon as the horses of the two arrived, Wang Kai came out with someone. Seeing that the Tang brothers were all ordinary clothes, I felt a little more comfortable. But after Xinjie nodded to him, he ignored everyone, but walked to the carriage behind him, and helped out the two young ladies from the car, courteous and thoughtful. Wang Kai slandered, this Tang Laosan is a person who likes to mix in the pile of women. I really don't understand what Lan Ruoxue likes about him. The Queen's niece and the Prince's cousin, after his grandfather analyzed the situation for them yesterday, he secretly made up his mind that he would fight today.
