Chapter 3 The beginning of love

Feng Zilan leaned against the cold wall, staring intently at the stalker on the long street who was looking around with an axe on his back.

"Your enemy has come to the door?" Li Yihan asked in a low voice.

"It's hard to say!" The light on the long street was too dark for Feng Zilan to confirm the identity of the stalker.

Li Yihan was about to tease him, but the gaze that secretly observed him when he collided with the drunkard flashed in his mind.

Stalkers are still hovering the streets. Feng Zilan took two steps back, almost stepping on Li Yihan, who had lost his mind.

Li Yihan retracted his chaotic thoughts and retreated into the depths of the alley.

Feng Zilan took advantage of the situation and retreated: "I'll send you home first!" ”

Li responded with a cold heart, not feeling shy.

Feng Zilan looked at the cramped alley in front of her, and then turned her head to look at the long street outside the alley, and instantly felt worried. As a person who had only been in Jingyingcheng for a few days, he could not find a hidden and safe path that could lead directly to Loei in a short period of time.

"I'll lead the way! I've trotted through every inch of this place since I was a child, and no one knows these corners better than I do. A sense of pride rose in Li Yihan's heart. She walked to the depths of the alley, walking as she went, "There are a lot of alleys and alleys in Jingyingcheng, and outsiders will get lost. ”

"How do you, a young lady of a family, know these places?" After Feng Zilan confirmed that the surroundings were safe, she quickly followed Li Yihan.

Li Yihan turned into the right fork of the alley with familiarity, and said with a smile: "I used to get into trouble a lot, and I ran away if I couldn't beat others, and I naturally remembered every road after many times." ”

Feng Zilan burst out laughing.

"Did you get into a fight with someone when you were a kid?" Li Yihan asked curiously.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere became dull, like this dark night, which made people feel inexplicably panicked.

Feng Zilan replied for a long time: "Only my mother beat me, I didn't beat anyone else." ”

Li Yihan knew that he had poked the sore spot of others, so he immediately changed the topic and revealed interesting stories from his childhood, which made Feng Zilan laugh.

After passing through one dark alley after another, the two arrived in Loei without incident. When they separated, the two made an appointment to go to Niu Er Tavern for dinner the next day.

This night, Li Yihan tossed and turned into the second half of the night before falling asleep, and when he woke up, it was already sunset.

After washing, Li Yihan instructed Xunmei to groom herself. Xun Mei's eyes were full of incredulity, and she hesitated: "Miss, isn't my aunt forbidding you to dress up?" ”

"If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows." Li Yihan was displeased. Other mothers put so much effort into dressing up their daughters, but their own mothers were like a stranger and forbade her to dress up. raised her into a wild girl, without the demeanor of everyone's ladies.

Xun Mei picked up the Nanmu comb and combed Li Yihan's green hair: "Miss, who are you going to meet?" ”

"Don't guess, I'm just changing my hairstyle." Li Yihan was embarrassed and replied perfunctorily.

Xun Mei smiled but did not speak. The shyness of the youngest daughter can be understood by a clear-eyed person at a glance.

Under Xunmei's skillful hand, Li Yihan seemed to be reborn, revealing a kind of touching beauty that he had never had in his daily life.

The sound of hurried and heavy footsteps broke the tranquility of Quanqing Pavilion, like a sudden thunderstorm, which caught people off guard.

"I'm afraid that the eldest lady has come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt." Xunmei's mind appeared in the eldest lady's angry appearance, and she became nervous inexplicably. In Loei, Xunmei's least favorite thing is the eldest lady Liu.

Before Li Anrong married the crown prince, although the Liu family put up a shelf in front of people, they would not cross the line. Since Li Anrong became the crown princess, the Liu family followed and flew up the branches, and the anger was extraordinarily big, and a little attention could arouse her anger.

"Old, you cover." Li Yihan calmly climbed through the window and left the room. All the way to the Niu Er Tavern, to the beloved who was waiting for him.

On the street, Li Yihan had never felt so much attention, and she finally understood why her mother didn't let her dress up, because her beauty was unmatched by no one. If you come into everyone's sight like this, you will definitely make countless enemies, and you will even be accused of being a red face and a troublemaker.

Before noon, the Niu Er Tavern was crowded with people. There were also three or four big stubble men sitting on the bench in the waiting area outside the house.

Li Yihan went straight to the wing room on the second floor of the Niu Er Tavern.

She pushed the door and alarmed Feng Zilan, who was sitting at the table. The two looked at each other, and she saw the surprise and joy in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just changing my clothes." Li Yihan's heart blossomed, and his face pretended to be light and light.

Feng Zilan consciously lost her temper and quickly lowered her gaze.

Not long after Li Yihan sat down, Xiao Er sent a jar of heavenly laughter, a plate of drunkard peanuts, a plate of cooked beef, a plate of cold cucumbers and two bowls.

"Miss Li, you are so beautiful today! We almost didn't recognize it. Xiao Er secretly glanced at Li Yihan before arranging the plate, and his face turned red.

Feng Zilan's face stiffened, and she asked rhetorically: "Wasn't it beautiful before?" ”

Xiao Er's mind turned quickly, his face was full of smiles, and he replied: "Women are the ones who please themselves, how can Miss Li's beauty be easily seen by us people, otherwise the person sitting here today may not be the son." ”

Kill two birds with one stone, with words in words. Feng Zilan opened her mouth to refute two sentences, but found that she was speechless.

Li Yihan smiled, and silently praised Xiao Er's wit in his heart.

The sound of wine downstairs came and went, and Xiao Er ran out of the room like a gust of wind, and his mouth responded: "It's coming, it's coming." ”

"Today, Feng Gongzi doesn't have to be formal, drink until you have fun." Li Yihan got up and opened the stopper of the wine jar, and the mellow and faint aroma filled the room.

Feng Zilan took a deep breath, fascinated, and said again and again: "Good wine, good wine." ”

Tianzi Xiao is the No. 1 wine in Jingyingcheng, from the powerful and dignitaries to the common people, they are full of praise and obsession with this wine.

"You drink more than my brother." Li Yihan only drank three points of drunkenness, which was the requirement of the master and senior brother to her. She pushed away the bowl of wine handed over by Feng Zilan, waved her hand, and said with a smile, "I can't drink a sip now." ”

Feng Zilan drinks like drinking white water, her face is not red, and her head is not dizzy. Li Yihan watched him drink bowl after bowl, thinking that he must be able to talk to his senior brother.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound from next door, and it was the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and shattering. Before long, the sobs of women and the shouts of men were heard.

"Put it down, don't get hurt." The man was anxious and angry, "When a woman marries, isn't it the same for whoever she marries?" ”

The woman cried, "Is this a marriage?" It's obviously for sale. ”

"You...... As a member of the Chen family, you should shoulder the mission of glorifying your ancestors. "Men are right.

The woman sneered: "It's ridiculous, in order to become an official, you actually sold me to a person bigger than you, and you also said in a high-sounding manner that it was for the glory of the family." ”

Two knocks on the door next door interrupted the conversation between father and daughter. Someone asked: "Guest officer, the eleven altars of Tianzi Xiao have been prepared, where can I send them?" ”

The man smiled and said, "Leave one altar, and send the remaining ten altars to the mansion of Lord He of the Criminal Department." ”

Li Yihan frowned and said indignantly: "Being a father in vain, he actually sold his daughter to seek an official." ”

Feng Zilan raised her head and drank the last sip of wine, lying on the table softly, looking at Li Yihan and smiling.

After a while, the man in the next room suddenly said in a fierce tone: "Linglong, let's go to the Moon Viewing Pavilion now." You'd better not ruin my good deeds, or I'll make your brother Chen's life worse than death. ”

"No, you can't hurt him." The woman roared in panic.

"Hmph, eat hard not soft." The man grasped the weakness of the woman, and said in a triumphant tone, "As long as you win the favor of Lord Shangshu and give your father a half-official position, I promise not to move your brother Chen." ”

After some procrastination, the father and daughter seemed to leave the room.

At this time, Li Yihan, who was sitting in the next wing, had a blue face and a fist hung on the table. The table shook violently, and the dishes slammed.

Feng Zilan filled a bowl of wine and said with a smile: "You have the demeanor of a heroine." ”

A strange look flashed in Li Yihan's eyes, and he laughed at himself; "I haven't even seen the rivers and lakes, what kind of heroine is it."

Li Yihan has been learning martial arts from his master since he was a child, although he is not proficient, he is more than enough for self-defense. Her mother clearly told her that she must not expose her martial arts skills unless she is forced to do so.

Feng Zilan stared at Li Yihan with confused eyes and said with a sneer; "Miss Li, do you want to go with me to the rivers and lakes?"

Li Yi's heart was as cold as a deer, his face was flushed, and he lowered his eyes; "You're drunk."

Feng Zilan barely sat up straight, and before she could say anything, the door of the wing room was pushed open. The person who came in was Li Yihan's maidservant Xunmei.

Xun Mei was a little surprised when she saw Feng Zilan, but quickly calmed down. She walked quickly to Li Yihan's side, attached it to her ear, and whispered; "Someone from the Anbei Royal Mansion has come to propose, go back quickly!"
