Chapter 12: The Unexpected
In the dormitory, Luo Qingyun thought about his words, and his whole mood fell to the bottom. There was really no way for her to stop the marriage, and the gentle candlelight became dazzling at the moment, and she couldn't muster up the strength to curl up on the bed.
She got married today, and her hair was long and coiled, and she was a little messy at the moment. He kept looking at her, and his eyes fell on a scar on her neck, and he looked stunned. Luo Qingyun's scars from the whipping that day had healed most of them, and only a shallow trace remained, but he could still see how serious the injury was at the beginning.
"I saw a life-threatening note burning your name and birthday, your name is Luo Qingyun, right?" He curled his lips and smiled.
Luo Qingyun was silent, he glanced at her lightly: "Then do you know what my name is?" ”
She shook her head, her expression blank, as if she had thought of something else and sighed.
"Why are you in trouble?" He comforted him: "Now you don't have a choice, and my son is so handsome and chic, you might as well want to open a little!" ”
Luo Qingyun subconsciously glanced at him, wanting to open a little? ....... is to make her accept that she is married to a ghost. These days, seeing that this underworld marriage is approaching, her heart has been cold to ashes inch by inch, and the red and white lanterns are reflected on her face through the carved hollow bed. Her complexion was as clear as jade, she coughed twice, and her throat was dry and sore.
After a moment of silence, she spoke: "Dare to ask, what is the name of the child?" ”
"Song Zixun!" He smiled at the corners of his mouth, his eyes staring straight at her.
His voice is leisurely, and there is always a smile on the corner of his mouth, such a man died at a young age, so pitiful, thinking of this, she pulled the corners of her mouth, and finally a little smile oozed from her eyes.
"What are you thinking?" He chuckled.
She held back her tears, her dark eyes calm, and then she just shook her head. The night was dark, and there were not a few hours before dawn, Song Zixun looked out the window and hooked his lips: "I am not a person who does not know the accident, you must not be treated well in Luofu all these years." My father is also ridiculous this time, and he actually agreed to marry me to you, although it has affected you, but this is not my intention! He sighed: "Actually, I should have been reincarnated for half a year, but I always have a resentment to support and don't want to leave." My father invited a lot of Taoist priests to come and spend time for me, but they couldn't send away my soul, maybe my father thought I was alone, so he thought of asking me for a daughter-in-law. ”
A little light flashed in Luo Qingyun's eyes, and his pale face was also rouge because of this light, and he looked at Song Zixun: "You refuse to be reincarnated because you have any wishes?" ”
Song Zixun shook his head: "I don't remember, I can't remember a lot of things before I died, and I don't know why, the more desperate I am, the more I think of it, I can only see a gilded hairpin in my memory, whose it is, I don't remember!" He smiled coldly: "Have you ever seen a ghost that will make you amnesiac?" ”
She was silent and said in a low tone: "I haven't seen it!" ”
Song Zixun's dark eyes rolled, as if he was still thinking. After a while, he was a little impatient, and smiled helplessly: "I still can't think of it, I really don.......'t want to, since I haven't been reincarnated, there is naturally a reason." But it's you, you big living man, how could your father agree to marry you to me? ”
Luo Qingyun's heart trembled, and his eyes darkened. She let out a long sigh, a helpless sigh mixed with coldness.
It was quiet all around, and Luo Qingyun didn't want to speak. Thinking of what happened to her over the years, tears were about to pour out, and she endured the sourness on the tip of her nose and pressed down the tears. In Luofu, the old lady didn't love her since she was a child, and the Shen family regarded her as a thorn in her side. And Luo Qingrong grew up with her, but she enjoyed the highest treatment of the eldest lady in the house, and she has always been like the lowest slave in the house, and her maids don't take her seriously.
Over the years, how did she come back to life, she smiled coldly, how much she had looked forward to getting married, she wanted to marry someone and leave here, but in the end she married a ghost.
"Okay, okay, don't think about those unhappy!" Song Zixun interrupted: "I'll turn a flower into a flower for you!" ”
Luo Qingyun returned to his thoughts, looked at him sideways, and saw him put his hands behind his back, mysteriously reciting a spell, and quietly, he held a pure white camellia in front of her eyes. Luo Qingyun smiled faintly and asked, "Why are your flowers white?" ”
Song Zixun muttered: "I don't know, I'll only change this one!" ”
Luo Qingyun slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the flower, but found that his fingertips penetrated it, Song Zixun smiled shyly: "This son has become a flower now It's just a fantasy, just take a look!" ”
Luo Qingyun hooked his lips and slightly loosened his heart, and he wanted to laugh inexplicably.
On a misty night, a few golden shimmers appeared in the eastern sky, dispelling the darkness. The dawn dawns, and the sky begins to bloom. A loud rooster crow pierced the long night, and the most difficult night in Luofu was about to pass, but it was not over, it was just the beginning.
The rooster crowed three times, and several sturdy men in the ancestral tomb of the Song family took a sip of liquor, then picked up the shovel and began to dig the grave. Luo Haoxuan didn't sleep all night, and came to Luo Qingyun Villa just after dawn, but he didn't dare to go in. Shen Shifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the morning light in the east, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Luo Qingyun woke up, but found that Song Zixun had disappeared...... Is it dawn? She forced herself to be calm, but she couldn't calm down anyway. She climbed out of bed, but felt that half of her body was gradually numb after sitting all night, and her legs did not seem to obey. She pushed the door open, and the sun shone on her face, and she couldn't open her eyes from the blinding light.
The servants came timidly, and they were all surprised to see her come out of the room. They quickly put away those tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, and didn't forget to take another look at Luo Qingyun before leaving. fled one by one, Luo Qingyun sat alone under the porch, his eyes dark and heavy, fading with a touch of hopeless sadness.
The tomb of the Song family was excavated, and the Taoist chief was opening the altar on the side, and he twisted the red and white ropes representing the eight characters of the two people's birthdays together, and began to chant mantras.
"Sir, what are you doing here?" Old Lady Luo sneered: "Qingyun is a matchmaker, don't worry about it!" Old Mrs. Luo was helped by the maid and came slowly, she glanced up, and saw that Luo Qingyun was still wearing a wedding robe sitting in the garden at this moment, and sneered: "Look, after last night, isn't she also good?" ”
Luo Haoxuan was silent, just sighed secretly.
"Master, the eldest lady passed the word, saying that someone from the palace came! It seems to be about the next month's eldest lady's entry into the palace! The family ran in a hurry, and said breathlessly: "You and the old lady go to the main hall to receive the order!" ”
Luo Haoxuan and Old Lady Luo looked at each other and hurriedly moved to the main hall. Last night, Luofu secretly held a secret marriage, if this matter is known to the palace, I am afraid that if it reaches the ears of the emperor, Luofu's house is restless, and Luo Haoxuan is so ignorant as a fourth-grade official of the current dynasty. No matter which one of them, it is absolutely detrimental to his career.
Mrs. Luo is old, especially in winter, her legs and feet are even more unfavorable, I heard that there are people in the palace, Mrs. Luo endured the pain in her legs, and she didn't dare to delay the quick walk to be helped to the main hall.
The household department selects a show girl every three years, and the Luo family has been waiting for the coming of this election, how important the Shen family is, and spares no expense to set the precious silk in the silk and Luo Fang, just to make a delicate dress for Luo Qingrong, hoping that she can stand out and get the favor of the emperor, so that the small door and small mansion of the Luo family can also be regarded as a glorious lintel.
The eunuch from the palace was in charge, and he was waiting a little impatiently in the hall at the moment, and when he saw Luo Haoxuan walking like a fly, he hurried over, followed by the old lady who was still faltering, so he glanced at it unhappily.
Shen's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to pour him a cup of tea, but the eunuch didn't appreciate it, and stretched out his hand to block it: "Don't bother, the miscellaneous family is here to read the holy decree today, and I will leave Luofu and go to Zhoufu later, but there is no time to waste!" ”
Luo Haoxuan hurriedly bowed and saluted, not compensating: "It's the lower officials who are negligent, and I hope that my father-in-law is not to blame!" ”
The eunuch pursed his lips, glanced at him, and said coldly: "Lord Luo, take the order!" ”
All the people in Luofu knelt on the ground, and the head of the jaw ordered: "The balance lasts for a long time, and the emperor is always rich." The grace of the country and the heavens, the sun and the moon, the chestnut accumulation, thought it was shengsheng. I tell all sides, the wide draft girl, to the harem. I ordered the second department of the household ceremony to hold this edict. Luo's concubine Luo Qingrong, Huiyin Shumei, Fanghua Rongyi, dreaming of no etiquette, Yuxian pot fan in the court. The Ministry of Counseling and Rites, with the intention of holding the decree, will submit a name examination in February next spring. Chin this! ”
"Command!" Luo Haoxuan stepped forward to take the holy decree, put his hands on his head, and knelt down.
The eunuch looked around for a week and wondered: "Isn't Lord Luo still a woman, why haven't you seen it?" ”
Everyone in Luofu was shocked, and Luo Haoxuan was stunned and replied: "Back to my father-in-law, the little girl has been seriously ill recently and is unwell and can't stay, I don't know what happened to my father-in-law?" ”
Shen's eyes sank, this father-in-law sent by the Ministry of Household came here from the palace, why did he know about Luo Qingyun?
The father-in-law nodded and said, "Then you don't have to come out, Lord Luo will take the order for her!" ”
Luo Haoxuan looked at him in surprise, the father-in-law's expression remained unchanged, the charm in his eyes flowed, and he smiled lightly: "Luofu is really beautiful, the two daughters of the Luo family were selected by the emperor as show girls, and even the concubines can enter the palace, what a blessing!" ”
