Chapter 257: White Lotus
Just when An Ju walked to the front of the Yuanju Pavilion, and at the same time turned his head sideways to discuss the business of the Yuanju Pavilion with the steward beside her, suddenly a man ran up to her with a red face, looked at her nervously, and at the same time whispered the doubts that had been condensed in his heart for a long time: "Miss An, can Xiaosheng ask you a question?" ”
"What's the problem?" Anwan twisted her head back and looked at him with some curiosity.
Although this scholar has seen An Juan many times, it is the first time to observe An Juan when he is so close.
At this time, facing the impact of beauty, the scholar was in a trance for a while, and he didn't even know what to say or do to match his mood.
"Childe?" It was An Xuan's voice that brought him back to reality.
"Huh? Yes! He was startled for a long time, and then finally calmed down, and reluctantly recalled what he wanted to say, "Girl, I just want to ask you, are you really a brother and sister with An Daoping?" ”
After hearing this question, An Juan's originally gentle face instantly changed color, she glanced at him coldly, and the chill in her eyes even made him involuntarily take a step back.
After about a few breaths, after making sure that the scholar did not escape, An Juan's attitude gradually improved: "I am indeed a biological brother and sister with Daoping, I am two years older than him, and I have been taking care of him since he was a child." ”
Unexpectedly, after getting angry, An Juan didn't turn around and leave, but answered his question.
The scholar was a little excited, so he coughed, then calmed down and continued to ask: "Then why didn't you go to Beijing with An Daoping?" ”
Seeing that he asked the point, An Juan was more satisfied, so he gently hooked the corner of his lips, and then made a somewhat guilty and dazed gesture: "For some reasons...... It's because of our family, so I left An's house early, and I haven't seen Daoping again for about a year or two, so he won't recognize me. ”
Although An Juan explained the reason vaguely, and it could even be said that he did not reveal any useful information at all, this scholar still caught some key points very alertly, and his eyes lit up, and he grabbed this information and asked: "What happened to you a few years ago?" A few years ago, the girl would have been fourteen or fifteen years old...... What happened to you at that time and you had to leave the house? ”
He didn't wait for An Juan to answer, and continued directly to himself: "I understand...... Did Miss An be convicted, but you weren't very satisfied, so you ran away? ”
This little scholar looked stupid, but he didn't expect his mind to be quite flexible, and he actually guessed the right answer.
An Juan rolled her eyes and then made a dripping expression: "Hmm...... You're right...... Indeed, it is because they have to grasp the rationing...... Rationed ......"
"To whom?"
An Juan bit her lower lip tightly, looking very afraid and ashamed of this matter, but this could only make the scholar more excited: "Miss An, say it quickly!" ”
Finally, after acting for a while, An Juan seemed to finally unload all the emotions in her heart, and closed her eyes to say the final answer: "They want to marry me to an old man in the next village...... The old man was fifty years older than me, and I couldn't take it, so I ran away. ”
"Oh my God!" Even if he had been mentally prepared for a long time and knew that the final answer would definitely be extremely exciting, but when he heard the words "an old man fifty years older", the little scholar still couldn't help but exclaim.
He carefully looked at An Juan in front of him and found that she was perfect from head to toe.
Such a woman, even if she didn't look as good as she is now because of hard work and fatigue a few years ago, should be a woman who can make most of her peers excited?
How could it be given directly to an old man?
The scholar thought about it according to the thinking of a normal person, and felt that there must be a problem in it, so he asked: "Why do you want to marry the girl to the old man?" Is it because the old man is richer? Or is it something else? ”
"I ......" An Juan seemed to be extremely afraid, and her tone trembled a little, "because Daoping needs money to go to Beijing to catch the exam...... The family didn't have enough money, so they wanted to sell me as soon as possible...... They are worried that I will marry the eldest lord in the future, and if I am favored by the eldest lord, they will speak ill of Daoping, so they will marry me to the old man next door, and he is willing to marry me with half of his life savings......"
"Huh?" Unexpectedly, this was the reason, the scholar reached out and scratched his head, feeling a little confused by the second monk.
Generally, there are beautiful sisters in the family, even if they want to marry out as bargaining chips, it is impossible for the old man next door......
Aren't daughters all helping their sons pave the way? The way An Wan helped An Dao Ping pave the road is too chic, right?
The scholar who was doing the interview had a very strange expression, and he didn't seem to be able to understand the thoughts of the An family at all.
And seeing An Juan and the scholar crying and laughing here, the passers-by who came around and heard the whole process also shook their heads and said they didn't understand.
Some people even directly said what they thought in their hearts: "It turns out that the An family treats Miss An like this...... No wonder Miss An is reluctant to stay at home anymore, put yourself in her shoes, if my family wants to marry me to the old man, I will definitely not want to. ”
Immediately afterwards, someone interjected: "I have always had a good relationship with my sisters in the family, and recently I have been urging my parents to find them a few good relatives...... If my sister were to be given to an old man, I would be the first to disagree. ”
Of course, some people think that An Huang is full of nonsense, and these estimates are also made up to win sympathy.
But An Juan was fearless about this, and said directly: "If you suspect that what I said is false, you can personally go to the village where the An family lived before to inquire and see how the An family treated me before...... Fortunately, I met the prince later, and the prince cared for me very much, so I was able to get out of my inferiority. ”
After confessing to Luo Yelin in the air, An Juan continued without blinking: "After learning An Daoping's identity, the prince originally didn't want me to have more contact with An Daoping, saying that they used to treat me like this, why should I help him with a good voice......
"But I'm also a bit stupid, saying that An Daoping was still young at the time, and he didn't know much about these things, so he took the initiative to find An Daoping, afraid that his parents would say something bad to him and make him disgusted with me, so he didn't dare to identify himself at all." She said, reaching out to wipe away her unwarranted tears, "If it hadn't happened later, maybe I wouldn't have let him know my identity for the rest of my life." ”
……
What a pure and flawless sister An Juan is, she has been taking care of her younger brother in her childhood, and she was going to be sold to the old man next door, so she fled from the An family, but after meeting her brother unexpectedly, she couldn't help but take care of him often, and finally had an accident and was still blaming herself.
In comparison, An Daoping is a bit disdainful.
When An Juan was a teenager, An Daoping should have been no longer young, and he read early, so he naturally knew a lot of things, maybe when An Juan felt that he didn't know anything, he already understood what An Juan was going to do...... Since he is the heart and soul of the family, why don't you persuade a few words?
Later, when he was with the princess, he publicly stated that he had no brothers and sisters, and his parents were alone.
Later, his sister took care of him carefully, and as a result, he actually thought about his own sister......
An Daoping is really a heinous crime, and it is difficult to write about it.
Everyone was unanimously indignant, and after An Juan finished inciting everyone's emotions, she lowered her head and sobbed quietly, and at the same time pretended to ask everyone to stop talking about An Daoping, it was all her fault that things had developed like this.
This configuration of the White Lotus has been tried and tested repeatedly, and before An Juan has shed a few tears, the passers-by around her seem to have been burned in the heart, and they stand up one after another fearlessly, comforting her while cursing An Daoping fiercely.
In the princess's mansion, An Daoping and everyone in the An family gathered in the living room, and An Daoping listened to the An family's rebuke to him with his head down.
But even in today's situation, they only have a few painless scoldings for An Daoping, and in fact, it is An Juan who has always been on their lips.
And Luo Xuan was sitting leisurely on the high seat, holding a teacup in her hand, slowly tasting the tea, while glancing down, enjoying a good show in front of her.
When it was almost time, Luo Xuan put the teacup on the tray held by the maid on the side, and said lightly: "Don't say it yet." ”
Just as her words fell, the An family quickly stopped chattering, and looked at Luo Xuan with a flattering expression, looking too greasy.
Luo Xuan had never seen such a face, so she frowned a little uncomfortably, and her tone was a little stiff: "This palace knows, you don't have to say it...... Go down, and take the horses to supper. ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought that she would definitely be with An Daoping in the future, so she reluctantly softened her mood and looked at the trembling An family: "Do you want to eat something too?" Even if this palace invites you, after all, you are also Daoping's family. ”
Although Luo Xuan's tone and content were very soft, the An family looked into her eyes, feeling the cold air that unconsciously emanated from them, and still didn't dare to respond casually, so they could only look at each other a few times.
An Li and An Wang have a little woman's psychology, thinking about the big fish and meat in the princess's mansion, and they are a little eager to try.
And An Daoping, his father and grandfather didn't want to stay in the princess's mansion longer, but they looked at An Daoping, who had been silent, and were worried that he would be bullied by Luo Xuan, so they could only respond: "Then thank you princess." ”
With that, they quickly dragged An Daoping to the restaurant together.
The table in the dining room was very large, but the An family still felt cramped when they sat on it, and they didn't even dare to make big moves, let alone stretch their limbs.
Seeing their embarrassment, Luo Xuan casually lifted the corners of her mouth, revealing a shallow, but somewhat smug smile.
Then, after drinking a few sips of porridge, she made a sudden thought of something, got up a little embarrassed, and walked to the bedroom with her personal maid, saying that she was going to change clothes.
Of course, she actually saw their emotional changes and wanted to leave a certain space for the An family to communicate with An Daoping.
Otherwise, looking at An Daoping's current appearance, she doesn't like it either.
Watching Luo Xuan's figure disappear, An Li let out a sigh of relief, and was the first to pounce on An Daoping, scolding Luo Xuan cleanly in his mouth, just because he was afraid of Luo Xuan's identity and the people guarding around him, so after muttering a few words, he put away the ugly sentences that had not yet come out of his mouth.
