Volume 2: Mountains Have Trees and Trees Have Branches Ninety-Six: The Runner

She had done nothing wrong, and why, had she ended up in this situation?

Three years ago, the crown prince married the bride, and she was embarrassed, so she said to the second uncle, "Forget it." At this point, everything is in vain. Lu Shizhi comforted her, "Ah Wei, don't worry. As long as you wait with peace of mind, the second uncle will definitely bring back the position of the queen to you. ”

So he will spend a good year in empty space for three years.

But who asked her, in fact, she didn't have to be the queen.

The sky of Chang'an, in spring, has always been a blue-gray color, which makes people depressed and breathless.

She seemed to have been hearing the earnest whispers of the aristocratic girl she had befriended after she left, and the gaze stuck to her, there was admiration, insight, confusion, and pity.

She hated the vibe.

It's not like a rain. There is no lack of malicious thoughts in my heart.

The torrential rain came down loudly, washing away the sticky gloom between the world and all kinds of prying eyes, and in the early morning of the second day after the rain, I opened the window and saw a cloudy sky and blue sky.

Why don't you go to the next rainstorm?

Boom, a thunderclap rolled by, deafening.

Her chest rose and fell, getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly she jumped up from the couch, opened the door, put on clogs outside the door, ran along the corridor, ran a few steps and then turned back, took her favorite guqin placed on the piano table, wrapped it in oilcloth, and then turned away again, without looking back.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the rain flowed down the ravine at the top of the corridor, forming a rain curtain on both sides, hitting the ground in the garden, splashing small vortices.

On such a cool rainy night, people hid in the house to avoid the rain, and the entire Hou Mansion was empty at this moment, and there was no one.

This carved bar. This painting, this pavilion, this pavilion, the gorgeous mansion that ordinary people can't ask for for a lifetime in their dreams, but it is the cage that feeds her, day after day, she is strangled and unable to breathe freely.

Why, I have to stay quietly in this gorgeous cage, waiting for the man in the Weiyang Palace to say his final decision. Accept or reject.

That would be too embarrassing for me.

She ran on the promenade, the wind lamp hanging under the eaves swaying alone in the wind, just as her heart was soaked by the rain at this time and had nothing to rely on. Rain comes in. It fell on her head, hair, and body, and after a while, it was moist and soaked, and the sound of clogs made a crisp sound on the corridor. Click, click, all the way out.

Afraid of alarming others, she simply took off the clogs, put them upside down in her hands, and continued to run forward.

For the familiar and unfamiliar emperor's cousin, I don't dare to say strange. But in the end, there is a grudge.

Although it was not his intention, after all. It was he who put himself in this awkward position.

So, if you can't afford my future, it's up to me to find a way to put my life in place.

She finally giggled. Bright and joyful. Because I finally see a way out.

* The moment the ankle touches the cold rain, it is a deep coolness. However, this cold rain could not wet her fiery heart at the moment.

If this rejection is ultimately unavoidable, I'd rather be the one who cuts it off first.

From the boudoir of the female dependents in the inner courtyard to the west courtyard where the doorman lives, you have to pass through the small half of the Hou Mansion, and after the corner gate of the west courtyard, there is only a gravel path, and there is no long corridor to cover the rain.

She picked up her skirt and ran on the smooth path polished by the rain, and slammed the door of the guest house.

"Mr. He, Mr. He."

The door was pulled open from the inside, and the cold white-clothed pianist couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the embarrassed young student in front of him.

The pouring rain poured her hair in a bun, draped over her shoulders in a messy manner, and the dark brocade clothes were attached to her body, so wet that she could wring out water. Such Lu Wei should be embarrassed. However, when she raised her head, she showed her cheeks red from excitement, and a pair of bright and eager eyes, which made him feel as if the beauty of the ice sculpture had suddenly come to life, and she was smart and moving.

"Take me away." She gasped and said word by word.

"What did you say?" He Zhen was taken aback.

She clenched her elbows in the night wind, her lips frozen white from the cold of the rain, and forced a smile, "Are you sure we're going to stand here and talk?" ”

He Zhen let her into the inner room.

The candle flame spit out the warm light of fireflies, sitting by the fire in the house, Lu Wei wiped his hair with a thick cloth towel, and it took a while to warm up, "He Zhen, listen," she raised her head and said quietly, "We don't have much time, I want you to take me out of this mansion, leave Chang'an, find a place to settle down, and never come back." Would you like to? ”

"Nine Niangzi," He Zhen looked at her incredulously, "Are you crazy?" ”

"Crazy?" A cool smile appeared on her lips, "Maybe, what, or I'll be wrong, don't you admire me?" ”

He Zhen was silent for a moment, "I've always admired you, but it's just my business. You are the ninth lady of the Lu family, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, omnipotent in poetry, calligraphy and etiquette, you are the one who is destined to be the queen......"

"To hell with that Queen Rausch." Lu Wei hugged his waist from behind, "Since I appeared here, I am ready to throw away everything in the past." ”

"But, your family in this Hou Mansionβ€”"

""Zhou Li" still has clouds, the moon of mid-spring, the men and women of the Linghui, and those who run can't help it. It's the middle of spring now, let's do whatever we like," Lu Wei snorted from his throat, "As for my second uncle and brother, they can't control me. ”

"Having said that, but after all, you are not an ordinary person, if so," He Zhen hesitated, "If Your Majesty is embarrassed and refuses to let you and me go, then the world is so big that there is no place for us to hide." ”

"You don't know my cousin." Lu Wei looked at him quietly, "He's just careful from the beginning." Don't say that I don't have a formal marriage agreement with him, and even if he did, he wouldn't do anything to us. I'm afraid that it will cover it up. ”

She only felt a sour feeling in her stomach, and couldn't help but uncomfortably touch her chest and lower her head: I'm afraid, I will feel relieved.

He didn't like her after all.

I don't know why, at this moment, the shadow of the young man who had been blurred in his memory, the appearance of the first sight, clearly appeared in my heart.

It was when it was still in abundance. The sun is just right, and we are young. The brothers disliked her as a girl and refused to take her out to play, she was left behind, feeling that she was being bullied, so she sat on the ridge and cried loudly.

Then she heard a boy's voice beside her and asked, "Why are you crying?" ”

She looked back. I saw a boy about the same age as her, very clean, with a pair of slight phoenix eyes. Warm smile.

Later, her father told her, "This is your cousin of the Liu family, you can call him Brother Ying." ”

Two gentle tears ran down her cheeks, mingling with the rain that was dripping from her hair. No trace to be seen.

He Zhen sighed, took out the handkerchief, wiped her cheeks, and her eyes were bright, "Ah Wei has done this, Zhenruo said that he is not moved." It's a lie. It's just," he said solemnly, shaking the hand of the girl in front of him. "You have to think clearly, you have lived in the Hou Mansion for so many years, and you have long been accustomed to brocade clothes and jade food, slaves and maids to serve, if you follow me. In the future, you can only live the rest of your life with coarse tea and light rice. There's no turning back. Ah Wei, you really don't regret it? ”

She took a deep breath, left everything behind, hugged the guqin in her arms tightly with her left hand, and firmly held the man who asked her if she regretted it with her right hand, and said firmly,

"As long as there is a piano and you are there, everything is fine. I'll be enough. No regrets! ”

The rain was pouring down, and the porter Lao Jia poked his head out of the warm room and asked with a smile, "Mr. He, it rains so hard, do you still want to go out?" ”

"Hmm." He Zhen, who was wearing a robe, raised his head and said with a smile, "My piano is broken, I am in a hurry to go out to repair it, and no matter how heavy the rain is, it can't be delayed." ”

Knowing that this luthier was a little crazy on the piano path, Lao Jia complained slightly in his heart, but still opened the door for him.

The "little guy" holding the piano followed He Zhen out of the door, his thin figure was tightly wrapped in a coat, and when he passed by the porter, he pressed the hat, Lao Jia suddenly seemed to smell a faint fragrance, and couldn't help but look up in surprise, but the fragrance was nowhere to be found, and it dispersed in a moment.

Half an hour later, the gate of the Lu Mansion opened, and countless people shuttled through Chang'an City to secretly find the traces of the white-clothed pianist. After a continuous winter drought, the rain poured down like a torrent, and until the early morning of the next day, there was no sign of stopping. And the movements of He Zhen and Lu Wei were covered by this rain seamlessly.

"Damn." In the Lihou Mansion, Lu Lu snorted his wrists, "How can this be good?" ”

"The ninth sister has been very well-behaved since she was a child," Lu Tai sighed helplessly, "Who would have expected that at such a time, she would have brought us this kind of thing." ”

"What else is the ninth sister?" Lu Jiancheng suddenly became irritable and said viciously, "Our Lu family has not humiliated a daughter who doesn't know the severity of the family. ”

"Second uncle," the Lu brothers were taken aback, "she is my aunt's favorite candidate for queen." Zongzheng is about to pay the bride price. ”

"What a queen, there is no more." Lu Jiancheng said weakly, "Unless we can chase her back that night and kill all those who know." Otherwise, do you think that the queen of the Han Dynasty can let a woman who eloped be the queen? ”

"For the sake of today," Lu Jiancheng said dejectedly, "I can only tell the truth to the Queen Mother." The Lu family is not only Jiuniang has one daughter, eleventh niang, thirteenth niang has also reached the age of marriage, which can be regarded as the last. After all, the Queen Mother's surname is Lu, and she always has to plan for the Lu family. ”

"Ridiculous." Empress Lu slammed the cup in his hand and glared at his brother, "What is your position as the queen of the Han Dynasty?" Is it the goods in the hands of the Lu family? The emperor is my own son, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and a concubine is also worthy of being his queen? ”

"But the Queen Mother, my sister," Lu Jiancheng said dissatisfiedly, "You once promised to return the Lu family to a queen." ”

"I promised so, but who made you so useless, you can't even look at a Lu Wei?" Empress Lu raised her eyebrows angrily, "I didn't cure you of the crime of being a goddaughter, it's already for the sake of us with the same surname as Lu Zi." ”

The three years of Emperor Hui were really eventful, the Huns came, the emperor got married, and the major events were mixed together, and none of them made her happy. The emperor refused to take Ah Yan out of the fortress, and was willing to choose another woman from the clan and relatives, but the Xiongnu envoys said that they admired the good name of the old Zhao State and refused to give up. And Lu Wei, who has always regarded her as her future daughter-in-law, suddenly came out of this hole, and for a while, Lu Hou was exhausted.

Suddenly, Empress Lu's heart jumped, and a bold whimsical idea jumped into his mind.

***************************

Regarding the character of Lu Wei, because she is not an important person in this book, and I expect it to be very long, there are very few scenes assigned to her. In the first volume, she is only a verbal character, and in the second volume, so far, she has only appeared twice. And in the future, because of the characterization of the story, she will probably only mention a few words in other people's mouths, and I will not write about her positively.

However, just because of this one scene, I like her very much.

It's like, once the plot gets to this burning state, I'll write it faster. And the state of the water mill I wrote very tangled.

Of course, Lu Wei is not the supremacist of love, but if a person who has always been regarded as the queen by everyone cannot become the queen in the end, she will be very embarrassed and embarrassed. So, she got ahead of the curve and escaped from an environment that would be embarrassing for her.

So, let's shout a pink ticket as usual.

Above.
