Chapter 58: Marriage Proposal
On a secluded hillside, the sassy river wind in the middle of the night wrinkled Shen Yuji's eyebrows.
"You expected it to be right, Shen Dashao has stayed in Qingzhou for so many days, and his purpose is indeed not pure. He is helping the Lingnan Army to fight the idea of Qingyuan Town. What I don't understand is why he is wading into the troubled waters this time, behind him are the three provinces of Jiangbei, and I have heard that Xu Weizhen is not a nosy person. In my opinion, this should be his own decision. The corners of the black-robed man's clothes flew like a black cloud on the ground.
The sky was black and purple, tinged with indigo, and a few stars flickered and flickered, and they were very low. Shen Yuchen quietly looked at the place where Jiang Tian was at the junction, his eyes were deep and he couldn't see clearly, "No matter what he is for, in short, we have to speed up." ”
"These warlord leaders are loyal to the power and have a tacit understanding, even if we win Qingyuan Town for the Central China Army, what if they turn their faces and don't recognize people after the victory?"
"Huh." Shen Yuchen snorted coldly, his pupils gradually became brighter, and the momentum of his whole body became cold and dangerous in an instant, "Anyway, the real bronze box is in our hands, even if they are not willing to cooperate, I think the warlords of all over this place will also be willing to cooperate." ”
"What's in that box?" The black-robed man asked.
Shen Yuchen hooked his lips and smiled deeply, mysterious and full of temptation, "What is contained in it is a monstrous position of power, if you get it, or you can win the world, our people have been guarding Qingzhou for so many years and sacrificed so much, and it has finally paid off." ”
"By the way, did you lure her over? She should already know that my eldest brother and Dong Guosheng have a private cooperative relationship. ”
"Yes." The black-robed man walked up to him and stood side by side with him, his tone was deep, as if he was sighing, "You can't fool yourself, you still love her very much." Even if she is full of hatred for you, you are still watching and protecting her all the time. I know that she has a grudge against Dong Guosheng, and because of this, there was a certain cooperative relationship with Shen Dashao from the beginning. And you are taking such pains to lure her to see the facts now, don't you want to remind her to guard against Shen Dashao and take countermeasures as soon as possible, because maybe one day, Shen Dashao may help Dong Guosheng and get rid of her. ”
Shen Yuchen smiled very clearly, as if he acquiesced, "You always see everything so clearly, and you are better at piercing the facts that others have worked so hard to hide, which is really cold-blooded." ”
The grimace mask of the black-robed man reflected a faint cold light, like the light of a pair of eyes, "Actually, you don't need to be so distressed, man, it's normal to have three wives and four concubines, you can accept her in the future, I think as long as she really loves you, she doesn't care about her reputation." Isn't love able to cross identities? Either you are emotionally clean and stubborn with fate, but it's useless, people can't fight the sky. ”
"You know a lot, but I don't want to, I was born in a family with a group of wives and concubines since I was a child, and I have experienced the open and secret battles of those women, sad and desperate. I don't want to wronged her, such a cold and beautiful girl, not suitable to share her husband with another woman. ”
The black-robed man laughed twice, sighed long, went against the wind, walked away step by step, and chanted as he walked, "Lovesick and not blind date, thin love turns into a lover." ”
Early in the morning, Ping Yan sat at the table eating tea, always a little absent-minded. Yesterday, it was obviously the ghost-faced man who knocked her unconscious in front of the window, but Dong Changlin said that it was the inkstone that found himself unconscious outside the side room where he lived, the guards did not catch the black-robed man, and the black-robed man seemed to have no ill will towards him, first knocked himself unconscious, and then sent himself back safely.
It looks like a prank with no head or tail, but when you think about it, it seems to be deliberate.
Then there is only one possibility, the black-robed man deliberately wanted her to hear the conversation between Shen Dashao and Dong Guosheng, so as to warn her that Shen Dashao had reached a united front with her enemies in order to seek benefits, and her situation was the most dangerous.
It's just that if this assumption holds, who is that black-robed man? Why help her? She almost subconsciously thought of Shen Yuchen, because this was the biggest possibility, only he had plausibly figured out the relationship between her and Shen Dashao.
She finally touched a trace of her eyebrows, but in the blink of an eye, she was strangled by her own denial. It can't be Shen Yuji! She has been practicing martial arts with her master since she was a child, and she can see that the black-robed man walks like a fly, and he is an expert at flying eaves and walls, and the figure is biased, slightly tall, which is very inconsistent with Shen Yuji.
"What do you think? So engrossed, motionless, the tea in the cup is cold. Dongxia smiled.
"Oh, nothing." Ping Yan put down the cup, "Why don't you sleep for a while, the inkstone also said that you guarded me for most of the night, and I couldn't hold it anymore, and I was driven to rest by the young master in the second half of the night." I'm sorry I'm worrying you again. ”
She pouted, pinched the back of Ping Yan's hand, and muttered, "Since you don't want me to worry, stay in the house honestly in the future, take me wherever you want, can't I still protect you." ”
"You little woman, you don't have a small tone, and you still want to protect me." Ping Yan tapped her forehead with her finger, "By the way, Shen Dashao is also back, or you will go back to Changzhou with him this time, presumably your young grandmother is a month old, and she also needs more than one person to take care of her." ”
Dongxia hesitated a little sadly, her expression was as if she had just been washed from a rainy day, and she was dusty, but she still nodded obediently.
"Do you want to see the outside world?" Ping Yan asked.
She opened her eyes a little dazedly, and was silent for a moment before nodding a little sluggishly.
"Well, then you wait for me, if one day I save enough money and realize my wish. I'm going to redeem you, give you back your freedom, and let you go and walk the world in person, okay? ”
Dongxia looked at the sincere face, stayed for a long time, and then came back to her senses, and even her eyes were a little watery, "Miss, you are so good to me." I've grown so big, and no one has ever given me freedom. ”
She had never imagined what that life would be like.
......
The representatives sent by the two armies to negotiate for the battle for Qingyuan Town can be described as a calculation of the organs, Rao is so, Lin Heng is still unwilling to finalize a brick, and he still adheres to neutrality slowly. The drinking party, the dance party, the hunting and horse racing party are held in waves, and they are very diligent.
On this day, Lin Heng sent his subordinates to invite everyone to listen to the play, and when Dong Chang came here, the reason was quite new, saying that he was going to be at the wine table, and he wanted Lin Lixue to apologize and admit his mistakes in front of him, so as to make up for the abrupt move by the lake the day before yesterday.
Dong Changlin couldn't excuse himself, so he packed up and left, Ping Yan didn't want to go, but his two personal maids had a bad stomach last night, and they couldn't get out of bed because of the pain, so she could only follow for the time being, and fill the number of heads.
She only regards singing as a means of making a living, and she doesn't have any love, and this drama is something that Ping Yan has long been tired of, babbling, and flattering each other with guests from all sides, which is too much of a headache. And as a maid, she can't show it too obviously, she only hangs her head, her legs are straight, and she stands expressionlessly.
There was a sudden silence in all directions.
Ping Yan looked up and saw that the red cloth curtain on the stage was slowly being closed, the wind blew bursts of gorgeous fragrance, a few red rose petals like light butterflies, slowly falling, and then the flowers fell like rain, flying everywhere.
She stretched out her hand, let a few petals fall into her palm, put the tip of her nose up, and sniffed gently.
It is a rose, such a touching and intoxicating fragrance of love.
In the admiration and sighs of everyone, the curtain gradually opened again, and I saw that on the hundred-foot stage, it was already like a sea of flowers in full bloom, and the clusters of roses were dazzling and dazzling, like the fire burning when lovers looked at each other in their eyes.
A slender and straight white figure slowly walked out of the fiery red flowers that were about to burn, with elegant steps, just like the noble and incomparable prince in a Western oil painting, with beautiful eyebrows and a smile, I am afraid that every woman will be fascinated when she sees it.
She remembered that in the flower room, he had also pinched a rose and smiled at her affectionately.
He pushed the dining cart from the servant's hand, and on the cart was a seven-layer cream cake, with high layers and white flowers, like a snow-capped mountain, in such a hot summer, Ping Yan didn't feel a trace of warmth, only the waning moon in front of him, and the crowd was crowded.
She stood numbly outside, looking at Shen Yuchen's careful courtship, and the song he sang was still ringing in her ears, as if it was an English song called Happy Birthday to You, with a melodious and pleasant tone, flying happily under such a moonlit and starry night. And he knelt down on one knee, took out a huge diamond ring from the flannel box, and sincerely told Lin Lixue about his admiration and longing, and those eyes seemed to be much more brilliant than the stars in the sky.
The match is good, the door is right, the talent and the appearance of the woman are really incomparable.
Born as human beings, God divides them into three, six, nine and so on, perhaps to warn the world that wishful thinking is the most stupid.
The moon hangs in the sky, and ants deserve only to look up to his clear light in the dirty dirt, and this is a law that mortals cannot change.
It seemed that a hand was holding herself, she came back to her senses, looked at Dong Changlin with an anxious face, and then looked up, only to see a silence, everyone's eyes were focused on her, and the pair of beautiful people were slowly walking from the stage.
"Young Master Dong, I heard that this girl of yours used to sing operas, can you borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and lend her to me to enjoy it, aren't you good friends with Yuji? Even if it is to wish Yuchen a successful marriage proposal and let her sing a play for everyone, the troupe invited today sings too ugly. Lin Lixue smiled like a flower, glanced at Dong Changlin, and cast a provocative and ostentatious gaze on Ping Yan, "As long as you are willing to sing, I am willing to pay." ”
She just wants to be powerful and insult her, not only to let Shen Yuchen and Dong Changlin see it, but also to let everyone know. Such a despicable thing is only suitable for people to enjoy, and even a single strand of her hair is not qualified to snatch it.
