Yang Ruoning, Chapter 62
Yang Ruoning got up early in the morning and hurriedly knocked on the door of the store that had not yet opened the market, and bought a bunch of wigs and mustaches. She put a beard on half of her face, and even glued some of it to her eyebrows, and then she painted her sideburns white and dressed up as a weather-beaten middle-aged and elderly man.
Handan Chun saw Yang Ruoning's ghost appearance, and his face was shocked and questioned, "How did you make yourself this ghost virtuous?" β
"I don't know, people often look down on women's IQ, don't they? That's why I'm dressing up like this to increase the success rate of your talks. β
"Nobody cares about a maid, okay?"
"You're a khan, how can you go deep into the enemy camp with just a little maid? Doesn't that seem suspicious? β
"It's nothing, huh? Khan also has times when he goes out on patrol in plain clothes," Handan retorted. He and Yang Ruoning reasoned a few more words, and at the end, he waved his hand, "Forget it, you are a strange woman." β
While speaking, Ah Jing came in from outside, and frowned when he saw Yang Ruoning, "Why are you dressed like this?" β
"Oh, God, I don't want to explain it to you again," Yang Ruoning felt speechless, "Anyway, I really want to wear it today." β
Ah Jing sighed lightly, "It seems that you are determined not to see him again." Yang Ruoning shrugged her shoulders and said noncommittal.
Ah Jing just came over to inform them of the time of their meeting, and he explained to Handan Chun and left in a hurry.
Yang Ruoning and Handan Chun arrived in Luofu after lunch. Inform the guard at the door of their intentions, and soon a small attendant took them to see Luo Yuan.
It was a big house. Yang Ruoning and Handan Chun walked through a garden, through some corridors and halls, and then through a garden, and walked around for a while before they reached a meeting room. The living room is bright and faces a small pond with many fat koi swimming in it.
After the two of them sat down in the hall, a maid brought them tea and snacks.
A few minutes later, another small attendant walked in from outside, "General Luo is waiting for you," he said to Handan Chun.
"Wait, is it just me? Can't she be with me? Handan Chun hurriedly asked.
"Yes, please wait here, my lord," replied the little squire.
When Yang Ruoning heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had unloaded a thousand catties of weight on her body. She happily said to Handan Chun, "Handan Chun, don't be nervous, remember that you are the king, and you represent your country and all the people!" Yang Ruoning clenched her fists to cheer up Handan Chun, "Come on, Handan Chun, I believe in you!" β
"Hmm," Although there was a slight disappointment, Handan Chun nodded solemnly, then turned around and left with the little attendant.
After Handan Chun left, Yang Ruoning was left alone in this small courtyard. She waited in her seat for a long time and ate some refreshments. She actually wanted to go to the thatched house when she entered Luofu, but she felt that she should be able to hold on, who expected Handan Chun to go for so long, and she couldn't hold it back at this time, so she got up and went to find the thatched toilet.
This mansion is much larger than the one in Luoyuan in the capital, and there are many more servants. Everyone was busy with the wedding at this moment, and no one cared about Yang Ruoning, a strange stranger. Fortunately, the latrine was not far away, and she quickly found it after asking the people in the house. When she came out of the toilet refreshed, she noticed that the house was full of festive red, and she even saw the gardener changing the flowers in the yard to red. Yang Ruoning had never seen this kind of double-petaled flower as red as blood, she approached the flower bush, lowered her head and sniffed, as if there was no fragrance. She was a little disappointed.
She heard a string of silver bell-like laughter behind her, and Yang Ruoning straightened up and looked back. The laughter was of a little girl.
"Look, miss, that strange man smells the flowers," the little girl cried out with a laugh.
A gentle and beautiful woman walked out from the moon gate. "You girl, you just can't change this habit of being in a hurry, and your loud voice can be heard in the room," The woman's voice was soft, but it gave people a cold sense of distance.
It is her, Luo Yuan's fiancΓ©e, and the future queen of Da Song - Luo Qianqiu. Why didn't you think you would meet her here? Luo Qianqiu's sudden appearance made Yang Ruoning feel a little frightened, she knew that her strange dress should not appear here, she looked around, ready to find a casual excuse to be perfunctory, and quickly slip away.
"I'm sorry," she said in a thick voice, pretending to be a foreigner who didn't speak Chinese.
Yang Ruoning turned around to leave, but was stopped by Luo Qianqiu. "Who are you?"
"The little one came with his master to see General Luo," Yang Ruoning replied.
"See General Luo? So why are you here? Even the appearance of the beauty frowning slightly is so moving.
"The little one is looking for a thatched house...... And then I got lost. β
"How can the thatched house be on Miss Xixiang's side?" The little girl next to Luo Qianqiu interjected in disgust.
"Ah, yes, yes, the little one came from outside the gate, he was not familiar with this place, and he was rude," Yang Ruoning smiled apologetically as she stepped back, preparing to leave here quickly.
"Wait!" Wang Qianqiu said sharply, she approached Yang Ruoning, and looked her up and down with a pair of beautiful apricot eyes.
Yang Ruoning was stared at by her and felt a little weak. She thought, she is really a woman with such a strong aura, no wonder she can be a queen.
"You're from outside the Kansai area?" She asked.
"yes."
"Where's the Kannon?"
"It's a far, far away place, a place called Da Xuan."
"Da Xuan?" Hearing Yang Ruoning say Da Xuan, her eyes were actually wide, obviously this place made her feel extra surprised. "You're here with your khan?"
"Ah...... This one...... The little one doesn't know ......" Yang Ruo hesitated, hesitating how to answer.
Fortunately, just when she hesitated, Handan Chun's voice came from there. "Ah, Yang...... Why are you here? β
Yang Ruoning turned her head and saw Handan Chun walking over quickly, and behind him was a familiar tall figure.
"Yes, sir, the little one is here," Yang Ruoning shouted at Handan Chun.
Handan Chun and Luo Yuan walked over. Handan Chun stood between her and Luo Qianqiu, blocking Luo Qianqiu for her. He said to Yang Ruoning, "Why don't you stay honest?" β
"Come out and find a hut ......" Yang Ruoning said.
Handan Chun turned around, he made a gesture to Luo Qianqiu, and said, "My entourage is a rough man, I just came to Da Song and didn't understand the rules, and I disturbed Miss, I will compensate Miss for him." β
Passing over Handan Chun's shoulder, she saw Luo Yuan also take a few steps closer. After her and his gaze briefly intersected for a moment, Yang Ruoning felt that her heartbeat seemed to miss another beat, and she quickly looked away.
Tears filled her eyes again, and she lowered her head, trying not to let the tears fall. She hates herself like this, and she can't turn around and let go in a chic way, which is not cool at all.
She heard Luo Yuan say, "It's just a misunderstanding, and I hope that Cousin Qianqiu won't care." β
"It turned out to be Brother Yuan's guest," Luo Qianqiu's voice suddenly became extremely soft. "There is a misunderstanding, then we won't delay Brother Yuan's business."
"No," Handan said, "we're getting ready to leave." Then he said to Luo Yuan, "It's getting late, we should go back." β
"This way, please," Luo Yuan stretched out his hand to make a gesture of going this way, so Handan Chun and Yang Ruoning followed Luo Yuan to the gate.
When saying goodbye at the door, Handan Chun said, "General Luo's fiancΓ©e is really beautiful." β
Luo Yuan's gaze swept over her as if he were nothing.
Yang Ruoning lowered her head, looked at her toes, and tried not to look at him. She quietly tugged at the corner of Handan Chun's clothes behind her, reminding him to stop chatting.
But Handan Chun ignored it, and he continued, "You two are really a natural pair, a match made in heaven, and a good wish from God." β
Yang Ruoning's face was full of black lines, and she squinted at him. Are you serious, Handan Chun? Now, at this moment, facing Luo Yuan, say a four-character idiom?
"Xie Khan's compliment," a smile appeared on the corner of Luo Yuan's mouth.
"Do you love her?" Handan Chun suddenly asked without a head. "I heard that parents decide to get married here?"
Yang Ruoning rolled her eyes and wailed in her heart. When she was about to pull the corner of Handan Chun's clothes again, she heard Handan Chun say again, "Someone told me that love is a ghost story......
"I've only heard of it but I've never experienced it," Luo Yuan actually took his words, his gaze locked on Yang Ruoning behind him, "Someone once told me that." But, I think, that person was wrong. In this world, there are 'ghosts' who 'appear out of thin air and disappear out of thin air', as well as unswerving love until death. β
