Chapter Seventy-Eight
In a small teahouse in the middle of nowhere, the regular customers who have finished dinner slowly begin to gather.
Liu San knocked on the table with his hand, raised his head slightly, and had some smugness on his face, "What did I say at the beginning, I said that General Li would marry Liu Shangshu's youngest daughter, you didn't believe it at the beginning, look, look, I just said that not long after, in the middle of June, General Li Yu went to Liu Shangshu's Mansion to hire, and the gift list was envious of others, and it is said that there are three carriages for the bride price." ”
"Why didn't you talk about this hiring in June? You won't say until today, when General Li marries Miss Liu. I don't think you can see if this can be done, so today it has become a sure thing, so you dare to come out. "Everyone is an old acquaintance, and he knows very well how many catties and taels Liu San has.
"Go, go, you know. This General Li went to the battlefield when he was a teenager, and he has made outstanding achievements in war over the years, which of those young people on the northern border didn't tremble when he saw his battle flag? And this General Li is still tall and mighty, handsome, you don't see this in front of the wedding team, that General Li is riding a high-headed horse, wearing a scarlet dress, wearing a dark gold thread crown, sword eyebrows slightly frowned, heroic, phoenix eyes like a torch, if the sky is a star, can be called a good man. ”
"See, see, the general went from the north of the city to the south of the city, and fascinated the big girl and the little daughter-in-law all the way!"
When the others heard this, they also started to complain.
"Yes, my mother-in-law can't even scream."
"This General Li is really a god, and the daughter of my second uncle's family still wants to be his maid."
"The daughter of your second uncle's family, she looks like that, I'm afraid she can't enter the door of the General's Mansion."
"Don't talk nonsense, I heard that General Li is close to the people, and I have seen General Li and Yahuan of Xia Mansion go to the street together."
……
Seeing that everyone's attention was no longer on him, Liu San glared at the person who took the lead in interrupting, knocked on the table again, and raised his voice a little, "And this Liu family's youngest daughter, Liu Wanyou, is a big beauty who can be ranked in this capital, and she usually can't see it a few times." This time, he was wearing a blue dress and a gold hairpin, which was lifelike and exquisite. The face is even more pink and jade, only a little gouache, fresh and refined, like a mortal fairy, bright eyes and bright teeth, looking at General Li, the corners of the eyes are affectionate, shy and lovely, really a peerless beauty. ”
"Liu Laosan, just blow it, today's wedding, the big guys can only watch from a distance, how can they see it so carefully? Can you even see the eyes of Miss Liu? You're not clairy. ”
As soon as he said this, he laughed.
Liu San blushed suddenly, and after a while, he said angrily, "This is what my third uncle's brother-in-law's brother-in-law's friend's son told me when he was free. ”
Everyone looked at him, their eyes were full of disbelief, but no one coaxed anymore, after all, they just listened to idle things for fun, true or false, just heard it, there is no need to care so much, and they are not historians who write books.
Liu San saw that everyone looked down on coaxing, thinking that they all believed their words, so they became proud again, "This General Li and Miss Liu stand together, that is a natural pair, a pair made in the ground, on weekdays, I have also seen General Li and Miss Liu on the street, not long ago at the Lantern Festival, I also met them, tsk, that is really a golden boy and jade girl, others can't envy it." Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this General Li and Miss Liu are definitely in love, I have never doubted it, I think this will definitely happen. ”
"Yes, yes, this General Li and Miss Liu look at it and see that Lang has a mistress."
"But, I heard that this General Li and the maid of Xia Mansion are a bit like that." In this echo, a man's hesitant words looked a little out of place.
"Yahuan? How can it be compared to Miss Li. Liu San retorted, "Besides, this General Li is a single-minded person at first glance, and your gossip doesn't count, it doesn't count." ”
"Ah...... I also know that girl, I have seen her on the street with General Li several times. ”
"Say...... Maybe he just took something for General Lee. Liu San was a little unconfident.
"No, I think of it," a man dressed as a peddler touched his beard, "They came to my stall last year, and I didn't know the identity of the girl at that time, I thought it was a young lady of which house, and then I heard that it was the Yahuan of the Xia Mansion, and I saw that General Li really liked the Yahuan." ”
"That was all last year, maybe the general didn't know Miss Liu yet." Someone made an excuse.
"You say, if this General Li really likes that girl, will he not get married?" Someone boldly came up with an idea.
"It's time to worship now, why don't you end it?"
"Running away from marriage, isn't there such a thing when it is sold on the street?"
"That's the bride running away, what is the groom running away? If you really want to escape, don't marry in the first place. ”
"Yes, besides, this marriage is so big, the whole city knows it, if this General Li dares to regret it, I am afraid that his reputation will be lost. Moreover, Liu Shangshu is not easy to mess with, when the time comes, he will be a copy, maybe this General Li will be sent to some kind of murderous place. ”
"Who knows, this prince and general's family, maybe the general wants to go to those places to make a great contribution."
"Go, what kind of merit is to live, that is impatient to live."
"You nonsense, General Li and Miss Liu are in love, I bet a tael of silver, and tonight's wedding is done." Liu San took out a tael of silver from his arms and put it on the table.
The small teahouse suddenly fell silent, and it took a few moments before anyone spoke
"Haha, I bet 100 Wen on this marriage and it didn't work out." The peddler was not afraid of a big deal, and as he spoke, he took money out of his bosom, which made the absurd gamble set up.
The others hesitated for a moment, and then one by one joined in, and in an instant, the sound of betting in the small teahouse came and went.
Wu Ya got up from the bed, lit the lantern, and went out in a white middle coat and pants, anyway, now the moon is hanging, most of the people are asleep, no one will see her, come to the big stone where she usually sits, put the lantern beside her, sit forward, only sit on the edge of the boulder, take off her shoes and socks, put her feet into the cool water, the heat of the body seems to dissipate at once, Wu Ya hummed comfortably, her body relaxed, fell back, and lay on the stone, the frog chirped and the insects chirped as if playing a peerless symphony, I knew that I wouldn't eat so many dry goods, my stomach was swollen, I couldn't eat, and I couldn't sleep well.
The dark blue night sky is shining with countless stars, bright or dark, exuding a bewitching atmosphere, tempting people to want to pick one up, Wu Ya stretched out a hand to the night sky, and gently grabbed the cloth full of jewels, but didn't catch anything, this year is another person.
The elbow bent, and the raised hand was just about to be withdrawn, but a sudden big hand tightly wrapped the hand that had just been held without grasping anything. Wu Ya was startled and was about to get up immediately, but the man's other hand was pressed on her shoulder, she could hear the thumping sound of her heart beating rapidly, raised her eyes, a shadow covered the moonlight, and she could barely recognize the outline of the person by the outline of the moonlight, so she pretended to be calm and asked, "Who?" ”
The man didn't answer, just held her hand and pressed down on the boulder, lowered his head and slowly approached her, looking at the shadows that kept approaching, Wu Ya wanted to retreat, but there was nowhere to retreat, it was useless to struggle, avoiding her head, her eyes looked around quickly, and the crimson embroidered with totems was illuminated by the moonlight and starlight very clearly, "Li ...... Li Yu ......"
There was a little trembling, like a whisper, but at this time it was clearer than the symphony of nature.
