In the seventeenth year of Qianlin, March 18, Gan Tang's sixteenth birthday.

In fact, nowadays, because of the exaggerated infant mortality rate, before their children and grandchildren grow up, both men and women are only born in the year of the crowning and the ceremony.

It's over, and it's only low-key.

And because this year, a few days ago, Gan Tang and Lu Xun just had a bad thing that turned out to be unlucky in their marriage, and Gan Tang was even less in the mood to celebrate his sixteenth birthday.

But she didn't expect that on the night of the eighteenth, Lu Jiuyi would come over the wall.

At that time, it was raining very unfairly, and Lu Xun was wearing a poncho, and at first he was mistaken by Mu Li Muxiang, who knew martial arts, as a bear in the dark night.

Seeing Lu Xun, they were a little entangled in whether to invite the old lady and them, but before they could think about it, Lu Xun said, "I have already climbed over the wall to go to my grandmother's place first, and she said that she will beat me another day." ”

Okay, now that the eldest patriarch has spoken, Mama Li and the four girls withdrew from the room, leaving the space for Lu Xun and Gan Tang.

Since the two families discussed the method of marrying the Gantang sisters, the original jubilant atmosphere of the Ganlu family has disappeared.

Because both Lu Xun and Gan Tang strongly opposed this proposal.

Although no one listened to the two of them, the two families were really embarrassed now.

For example, before Lu Xun came to Bian's Mansion, he wanted to go to the front door, but his mother strongly objected, and persuaded her bitterly, "Yiyi, you and Tang'er are already very embarrassed now, don't meet each other first, you can't promise her anything, don't make Tang'er sad for nothing, she is a little girl, maybe how scared she is now, when our family comes up with a solution, you go to her again and give her a peace of mind." ”

In fact, Lu Xun had proposed a solution, which was to find Master Qinghui to tell his and Gan Tang's fortunes, but neither of the two families thought that they could invite Master Qinghui out of the mountain.

The Duchess of Yanguo felt sorry for Gan Tang, and she also felt sorry for her son, she was afraid that Lu Xun would be beaten and scolded by the Gan family when she came to the door now, not to mention seeing Gan Tang, she would lose face, and finally the family affair would really have to be stopped.

Lu Xun had different ideas from his mother, no matter how difficult it was to invite Master Qinghui, he would try his best, and he would tell Gan Tang what he had gained in time, so that Gan Tang would always be in touch with him.

If he can't marry Gan Tang next year as scheduled, then he will marry the year after tomorrow, in short, he only needs Gan Tang.

What kind of sister marries, if the Gan family really dares to send a sister of Gantang, he will drive the girl out of the door, but the in-law of the Gan family, he doesn't want it.

Gan Tang saw Lu Xun at first glance, and his heart softened, "You come quietly, forget it, why do you still go to grandma's place to beg for beating, I won't tell grandma." ”

Lu Xun was about to speak, when he saw the concentric clasp ring that Gan Tang was wearing on his index finger, he was also full of tenderness, "Tang'er, can I hold you?" ”

Gan Tang handed his hand out, and Lu Xun rubbed Gan Tang's index finger and the concentric clasp ring, "Tang'er, I'm here to give you a birthday gift." ”

Lu Xun was reluctant to let go of Gantang, so after he took out a box from his arms, he took Gantang's hand again.

The two of them hugged each other with ten fingers, and their idle hands opened the box together, and in the box was a double carp huddling golden jade hairpin.

"You just gave me a hairpin, and then your grandmother beat me, is it worth it?" Gan Tang was really moved by Lu Xun to cry.

"It's worth it if Tang'er likes it, there should have been a golden hairpin, the little deer hairpin that was broken in the hospital a few days ago, because there are many things in the past few days, I forgot to urge, and it hasn't been repaired yet, and I'll bring it to you next time."

On the day of the hospital, after Lu Xun sent Gan Tang home, he did not return the fawn golden hairpin to Gan Tang, and later he took it to repair.

Originally, after Najib's gift, Lu Xun could come to the door to give gifts generously, but now he can only come over the wall, and because there are many things, he has no time to urge the hairpin, so that the deer Jinchai has not been repaired, and he has regrets.

"Tang'er, I'm begging Master Qinghui to remarry you and me, don't be afraid, we will always get married, and I don't want those sisters in your family, your life is unique to me."

The Lu family and the Gan family about Gan Tang and Lu Xun, when they were both children, they had a good result for the two of them, and what they got at that time was a good result.

"Are you looking for Master Qinghui? What he said, can everyone be convinced? Gan Tang was stunned.

Seeing Gan Tang's expression, Lu Xun thought that she also knew that Master Qinghui was difficult to invite, and was worried about him, so he was relieved, "Yes, Tang'er, Master Qinghui is quite prestigious, with countless believers, and with him coming forward, everything we encounter will disappear now." ”

Belief in this thing, sometimes it is quite unreasonable, obviously most people do not understand Taoism and Buddhism, but if everyone says that so-and-so real person, so-and-so immortal so-and-so master is profound, then people who believe in Taoist Buddhism will be convinced of it.

Nowadays, Venerable Qinghui, who has been named a national teacher, is definitely a holy monk in the hearts of believers who believe in Buddhism.

"Then he's a bad thing to see?" Gan Tang asked.

Lu Xun nodded with difficulty, he had been handing over the prayer post for the past few days, but he had not received permission from Master Qinghui.

In the past, when he was studying in the East Palace, Lu Xun could still see Master Qinghui, but now outside the palace, he can't see anyone at all.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Wen Shu said that he would help me think of ideas."

His Royal Highness the Great Prince has now dismissed his staff and is living in a corner, and he has one more hobby, which is to read Buddhist books.

Every once in a while, he would transcribe something in Buddhism that he didn't understand and ask the guards to hand it to Venerable Qinghui and ask Venerable Qinghui to solve his doubts.

Although Master Qinghui is cold, and it is difficult for his disciples to see him, he will answer His Royal Highness's questions, so now Lu Xun asks for this matter in front of His Royal Highness the Great Prince.

His Royal Highness the Great Prince also came to deliver a message to Lu Xun this morning, saying that if there was nothing else, news would be delivered tomorrow.

In Lu Xun's eyes, as long as he waited for a day, as long as Master Qinghui was willing to help, the accident of Najib's gift was solved.

But now, His Royal Highness the Great Prince lives in a corner of the place - a river of blood is flowing.

The rain was not heavy tonight, but there were six steps in the residence of His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, and several assassins were killed on the steps by him and the guards who were still willing to stay with him, as well as the people sent by Lu Xun to secretly protect them, and the blood of the dead assassins was gushing from the wounds, because it was raining tonight, and the blood that should have coagulated soon after leaving the body flowed down the steps to the bluestone slabs, into the mud, and into the wasteland.

"Your Highness, you and I will go to the Yanguo Mansion to find the prince." The guards carried His Royal Highness the Great Prince on their backs and went to the Yanguo Mansion.

His Royal Highness the Great Prince was injured, and there was no hemostatic medicine here, and the rain had been hitting him mercilessly, and the person who was not very healthy was pale and terrible at the moment.

……

"Brother Yi, I can meet Master Qinghui, my third aunt knows her." Gan Tang hurriedly said, "If His Royal Highness the Great Prince is inconvenienced, I will ask the third aunt to help." ”

Lu Xun was delighted, "Good Tang'er, I know that no one can hinder you and me, let's work together to turn this matter over as soon as possible." ”

Gan Tang nodded, since what happened to Najib Zhengli, she finally felt relaxed.

The spring rain outside, which was not very heavy, stopped at some point, and only a little cold wind was left in vain to try to carry thunder and lightning between the heavens and the earth, and then there would be a bigger rain.

"Brother Yi, if your grandmother allows you to live here, I ...... I'm not going to chase you. Gan Tang, who originally wanted Lu Xun to go home quickly, heard the fierce wind outside, and was afraid that Lu Xun would go home more deeply and catch a cold, so his heartbeat was like a drum and he said words of retention.

Lu Xun wants to kiss Gan Tang again, this little girl, obviously doesn't understand anything, but what she can say is full of flirtation and tests his self-control.

"You're saying this to me when you're married." Lu Xun commanded with a straight face.

Gan Tang was inexplicable, "You can't stop it, I'm going to rest, you go out." Gan Tang stomped his feet to drive people away.

Lu Xun touched his nose, quickly left a kiss on Gantang's forehead, and then climbed over the wall to leave Bian's mansion.

At that time, there was a curfew, and there were no pedestrians on the streets except for the patrols.

Lu Xun avoided the patrol team all the way to the Yanguo Mansion.

The closer he got to the Yanguo Mansion, the more strange he became.

Although his family is a high-ranking family and is not afraid of consuming kerosene lamp and candle money, in the past, after the curfew, a street in front of his house would not be lit on a street lamp, but today, not only a street lamp in front of his house is lit, but also street lamps are lit from Changjie Street to Kuoshui Street.

There are also three streets between Long Street and Kuoshui Street, one of which is called Shangliang Street, which is the closest to Long Street, where His Royal Highness the Great Prince now lives.

Lu Xun's doubts became more and more intense, and a team of people came from behind him.

"Lu Shizi, why are you here?"

The first was the guard of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, he thought that Lu Xun with the poncho was an assassin, and all the way over, he drew his sword to attack, but fortunately, Lu Xun turned back before making a move.

"Yuan Hui, why did you come here? But something happened to His Highness? Lu Xun's heart tightened, and his face showed uneasiness.

Yuan Hui pursed his lips, "Shizi, Your Highness was assassinated, now that the city gate is closed, I can't go out of the city to inform Your Highness, and I ordered the guards to protect Your Highness, and I am afraid that there will be assassination tonight, so I will send Your Highness to the Yanguo Mansion." ”

His Majesty the Emperor recently went out of the city, not in the palace, and Master Qinghui went with him, and went to the Taoist temple where His Majesty the Emperor personally majored.

Lu Xun lifted the corner of his robe and ran home, he recognized the person behind the horse that Yuan Hui was riding, the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital.

At night, Yuan Hui called the imperial physician to do something, and Fu Wenshu must have been injured.

Lu Xun ran into the Yanguo Mansion, and at that time, there were already city patrol officials waiting in the outer courtyard of the Yanguo Mansion, and the Yanguo Justice arranged for someone to arrest the assassin.

Lu Xun ran into the house, although His Royal Highness the Great Prince was injured, but he didn't faint, but his eyes kept falling on the void, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Wen Shu, you go and lie down on the bed, and let the imperial doctor take a look at your injuries." Lu Xun's voice was very soft.
