Chapter Seventy-One, Repentance

The cicadas outside the house chirped one after another, disturbing people's hearts. Chu Luan, who had been sleeping less, completely lost sleep last night.

At first, she was stimulated by Wei Li's strange words and deeds, but after she gradually calmed down, she found the clue again. Her relationship with Wei Li is not very good, let alone that he will suddenly be attracted to him. But if Wei Li wasn't sincere, then why would he say that to someone he didn't like? Don't...... He asks for something, he has other intentions? In this way, his abnormality can be explained.

"But what is he asking for?" Chu Luan thought about everything he had, and there was nothing that others could look at. It is unlikely that he would provoke the relationship between her and Murong Jin, after all, he had promised him not to interfere with each other in the future.

Chu Luan racked his brains and couldn't figure out what Wei Li was going to do, so he grabbed two handfuls of hair with some irritability, and got up to comb his makeup with a gloomy face. She was just about to pick up the grate comb, but her eyes inadvertently glanced at the wooden hairpin next to her.

This hairpin was given to her by Yan Ran before her death, and Chu Luan regarded it as a treasure and wore it every day.

I couldn't help myself, and whispered, "Yanran ......"

Jiangnan Thirteen Divisions! Grasping the key link, Chu Luan gave a perfect explanation for all Wei Li's behaviors. Before, Murong Xiu also openly and secretly asked her to hand over the key to the Thirteen Divisions of Jiangnan. The Thirteen Divisions of Jiangnan can be said to be the economic lifeblood of Jiangnan, and if you grasp it, you will have absolute economic strength, and the emperor will naturally not let go of such a piece of fat, and Wei Li is also the emperor's person.

It turned out that he was for this, Chu Luan couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but unfortunately his wishful thinking was wrong, not to mention that she didn't have the key to the Jiangnan Thirteenth Division in her hand, even if she had, she couldn't hand it over.

Chu Luan was not the only one who was troubled by last night's incident.

Wei Li has been in a state of despair since he returned home, and if he bought the lantern at the beginning, it was unintentional; If he didn't explain his relationship with Chu Luan to the lamp seller, it was a joke, so his invitation to Chu Luan to spend the Qixi Festival together could be said to be an impulsive move when he couldn't help himself.

Getting along with Miss Chu last night, from the joy when I met her to the expectation of inviting her to put the lamp, the heartbeat when I saw her panic, and finally the loss of fleeing in a hurry. These emotions were all he really experienced, so that he could no longer deceive himself.

He was too impulsive last night, and now that he has sobered up, he can't regret it, and he hasn't thought about how to get along with Miss Chu in the future, so he took the first step to make an invitation. How should I face Miss Chu and Ah Jin in the future?

But all the guilt and chagrin only existed at this time, and when he saw Chu Luan again, these troubles were left behind him.

Wei Li's original intention was to take advantage of Xiu Mu to let Shi San accompany him out to relax, but he didn't expect to meet Chu Luan again by such a coincidence.

Unlike last night, she was indifferent and elegant, she was wearing a colorful Luo skirt today, her hair was also delicately combed, she wore beautiful jewelry, and she looked like a goddess in the sky.

But Wei Li still liked her plain appearance last night, and only then could she relax a little and remove part of her mask, revealing her softest and sincere side.

Shi San, who was following him, had already noticed Chu Luan and Zhixia in front of him, and he pushed Wei Li forward to say hello.

Wei Li was a little annoyed, but he only frowned slightly, and didn't show too much. What's the matter with this Shi San, didn't you see that he was not well-groomed at the moment, how could he see Miss Chu? He thought as he quietly straightened his coat with his hand to make sure it was still neat, and then reached out and grabbed the hair that was fluttering wantonly on the placket and brought it back to the army.

Wei Li estimated that he had cleaned up, and there was nothing wrong with it. Strode forward and greeted without hurrying: "Chu ......"

Before he could say anything, there was suddenly a white figure beside Chu Luan, with peach blossom eyes with affection, a gentle mole on the tip of his nose, a smile like a spring breeze, and a turn of his eyes as if all things were born. Only a jade-faced boy like Murong Jin can smile so well. Even so, Wei Li still refuses to admit defeat, but he is also self-aware. has always been stereotyped, and she hasn't had a good face with others since she met Miss Chu, so how could she like to laugh in front of her.

At this time, Shi San's heart was not good, in Shi San's impression, although Chu Luan would also wear bright-colored dresses, but except for attending formal occasions, he had never dressed up so carefully like today, but today in order to see Murong Jin, he actually dressed up so beautifully, is his master really out of play? Shi San must not watch his master die alone, and say that he will also promote a good marriage between his master and the county lord.

Shi San is thick-skinned, and he is not like Wei Li, who will find it difficult to open Chrysostom for various reasons. In Lin Yi's words, Shi San is a bastard.

Therefore, he didn't have any scruples, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice covered half of the street, "Lord Zhaoyue! ”

Wei Li glared at him angrily, but the latter completely ignored his warning, and walked over to Chu Luan's side, silently separating the two who were still very close.

Murong Jin: ......

Chu Luan watched Shi San gradually squeeze Murong Jin away, a little helpless, she just saw that Qin Yuan's wedding was approaching, so she went out to buy a generous gift to congratulate, and by the way, she saw if there was anything she could do to help. How did I meet so many acquaintances.

"King Yongning." Chu Luan left his luggage to Wei Xiangwei, and he didn't dare to look at the other party's eyes the whole time. Yesterday's events have not been clearly explained, but today they met again, and he is really persistent for the key.

Chu Luan preconceived and defined Wei Li.

The latter didn't know anything, and returned the salute as always, but this time when facing Chu Luan, his tone softened, and even with a smile, as if he was saying something sweet, but when he spit it out, it was a sentence "Miss Chu".

"Today is resting, and Xiyun also comes out to relax?" Murong Jin finally couldn't look at Shi San, who had been squeezing him, sideways to avoid it, and quietly squeezed between Chu Luan and Wei Li. It's a pity that the road is so wide, and a few people are just going to be crowded together.

"Wenjun, don't we still have to buy the wedding gifts of Bang Zhi and Miss Qin? Their wedding date is approaching, and we can't afford to delay. Murong Jin gently reminded Chu Luan.

The latter also quickly came back to his senses, obeyed his wishes, and parted with Wei.

That's it?

Shi San saw that his master was still standing there stupidly, so he came out angrily, chased it, stopped it.

"Miss Chu." I don't know if Shi San is sincere, Wei Li really opened his mind and knew that he had seized the opportunity, but the next sentence immediately broke Shi San's expectations, "Farewell." ”

Afterwards, Shi San couldn't let go for a long time, the master was inevitably too polite, and his sweetheart was snatched away, but he was good, and he really said goodbye to someone.

After hearing Shi San's fifty-seventh cold snort, Wei Li finally couldn't help it, and directly shook it off, "If you have something to say, just say it, and shut up if it's okay." ”

Look, how hard! It's the same as saying goodbye to Miss Chu just now.

For this kind of unenlightened master, Rao is Shi San was not angry, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, so he could only say it tactfully, "Master, you just let the county lord leave with King Jin, so you don't worry that they will get along for a long time together, and they will really have affection?" ”

That's a pity, he thinks it's really good for Chu Luan and Wei to be together.

Wei Li retreated, "They seem to be very compatible, and it is only a matter of time before they become affectionate." Why should I be the vile villain who breaks up marriages? ”

"But what if you ......" Shi San wanted to say more, but Wei Li interrupted him, "If you say more, go back to the house and wash the stables with Lin Yi." ”

Chu Luan and Murong Jin bought the congratulatory gifts and sent them to the Qin Mansion first.

It was not Qin Hai who came out to greet him, but the maid Cui'er beside Qin Kite.

Chu Luan felt strange, even if she had a good relationship with the Qin Mansion, but there was Murong Jin with her today, Uncle Qin would not be so rude, and he would not go out to greet the distinguished guests in person.

She tried to find a way to make up for them: "What's going on in your mansion?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as she brought it up, Cui'er had a sad face, and ordered the surrounding maids to step back to ensure that no one would hear it, and then explain the truth to them, "County Lord, you are the girl's best friend, and I won't hide it from you, maybe I will have to trouble the county lord to help with this matter." ”

Chu Luan and Murong Jin glanced at each other and waited for the following.

"Now, everyone in the capital knows that my girl and the champion of the dynasty are married, and the wedding date is on the third day of the next month, and it is less than seven days. Who knew that early this morning, Ye Gongzi actually returned the love token given to him by the girl. ”

"What?" Chu Luan's face changed greatly, even if she didn't fall in love with someone seriously, she also knew what it meant to return the love token. She didn't expect that this Ye Cheng would dare to do this.

"There is also a letter returned with the token, the letter is only read by the girl, she cried after reading it, the lord interrogated several times, only to know that it was Ye Chenggongzi who had a sweetheart and wanted to withdraw from the marriage. Madame also fell ill because of this incident. ”

Chu Luan was just angry, but now it can be said that he was angry, and immediately sneered, "Shameless."

Cui'er didn't expect Chu Luan to insult the champion of the dynasty in front of the prince.

Murong Jin didn't pay attention to this matter, but reminded Chu Luan to go and see how the Qin family was doing first.

Because of the difference in identity, Murong Jin is not good at taking care of other people's housework, and staying is also embarrassing for both parties, so Chu Luan persuaded him to go back to deal with business first. Murong Jin took off the token on his waist and handed it to Chu Luan to avoid her from getting into trouble.

When Chu Luan entered the house, Qin Yuan and Qin Hai were guarding the bedside of their aunt, one kept crying, and the other sighed sadly.

Qin Hai is a violent temper, it stands to reason that he should have been angry a long time ago, and in fact, he has already been angry, but now that Mrs. Qin is lying on the bed, even if he has more strength, he has nowhere to go, and when he thinks that the other party is still a few levels older than his official Prime Minister Ye Cheng, he is even more aggrieved.

"Something! Relying on the power of his own family, he will not take us five-grade officials seriously. Obviously, it's all said, the invitations have been sent out, and it's shameless to regret the marriage at this time! ”

Qin Yuan cried even harder.

Chu Luan was afraid that the two of them would also be ill because of the excitement, so he hurriedly interrupted, "Uncle Qin." ”

Hearing that it was Chu Luan's voice, the father and daughter both collected their emotions, "What's the matter?" Didn't I ask Cui'er to send you back first, and then come to the door another day to apologize? Qin Hai blamed Cui'er for making her own assertions.

They are all old friends for more than ten years, and Chu Luan also knows that these two people are dead to save face, and they refuse to let others see jokes. But the matter has already come out, and sooner or later it will still be seen as a joke, but Chu Luan will not laugh at them, and will find a way to help them calm down the joke.

After listening to Chu Luan's words, Qin Hai also felt that he was confused, and only thought about his own face, but he forgot that Chu Luan, this kid is the most affectionate, he ran around for Zhang Sheng's business, how could he stand by now?

"It's useless to be anxious now, let's listen to what Kite has to say?" Chu Luan proposed.

Everyone's eyes were on Qin Kite, and she suddenly felt embarrassed, and she didn't know how to speak.

Seeing her embarrassment, Chu Luan was not in a hurry to let her explain the matter in the letter, but first to see how she hoped that this matter would be resolved.

Who knows that Qin Yuan is usually very high-spirited, but now there are times when he bows his head and regresses, "As long as my marriage contract is held as scheduled, I can ignore the rest." ”

"What!" Qin Hai wanted to pound the bed, but he was afraid of arguing with Mrs. Qin, so he could only get up and stomp his feet without making a sound, his index finger shook at Qin Kite who was kneeling on the ground, and scolded in a low voice, "Be willing to be cheap!" ”

"Uncle Qin, don't be in a hurry to scold her first." Chu Luan knew that Qin Yuan had a deep love for Ye Cheng, since he read Ye Cheng's poems, he vowed to marry such a talented man, and now he was finally about to achieve his wish, and he was suddenly withdrawn, so he naturally couldn't stand it. "Kite, what did he say in his letter to you, why did he quit?"

Qin Kite's face turned white at first, then turned red, and finally darkened, quite unwillingly, "You guessed it, he fell in love with that Qinglou man." ”

"What!" Qin Hai suppressed his voice and shouted, "You already knew? ”

Qin Yuan nodded.

He asked Chu Luan again, "You also know?" ”

"I wasn't sure at the time, I just asked the kite to pay more attention."

Qin Yuan also stood up and stood in front of Chu Luan, "I told Ah Luan not to tell others, I thought ...... I thought that Ye Gongzi was just writing poems for them as usual, and he would not be tempted. ”

"What do you think, why do you think!" Qin Hai clapped his hands and shouted at the sky for a while, and then slammed his thigh, "Joke! Joke! My Qin family is the joke of the entire capital! ”

The pampered daughter of his own family is not as good as a man/prostitute in the Qinglou, and anyone who faces this kind of scene will not be able to stand it.

"Dad, I must marry Ye Cheng." Qin Yuan said firmly.

"What! Are you still going to marry him? Qin Hai felt that she was crazy, "He can be said to be a merry and talented man who wanders around Fireworks Willow Lane on weekdays, but now he is going to abandon you for a man, such a person, do you still want to marry?" ”

"Marry!" Qin Yuan's original intention has not changed.

"You're angry that your mother is not enough, are you still angry with me!" Qin Hai looked around, picked up Mrs. Qin's fan and was about to hit it, "If you dare to do such a shameful thing, I will beat you to death!" ”

"Even if you kill me, I'll marry!"

The fan in Qin Hai's hand was really about to fall on Qin Kite, but Chu Luan stopped it first, "Uncle Qin!" ”

With Chu Luan in front of him, Qin Hai had some scruples, and tried his best to let Chu Luan dodge, but the latter was unmoved, "You know the personality of Kite best, if you beat her, she will not change her mind, but will let the father and daughter separate, it is not worth it." ”

"Then I'll kill her! I killed myself again and got a clean reputation. ”

"Confused! How can this be called innocence? Chu Luan stopped Qin Hai and patiently persuaded, "In my opinion, this matter is not so complicated. ”

Qin Hai's father and daughter were silent when they heard this.

"Do you think, since Ye Cheng wants to withdraw from the marriage, why did he only return the love token instead of the divorce letter? It shows that this matter is his own initiative, and Prime Minister Ye's family does not know about it. ”

"What, he still dares to withdraw from the marriage without permission?" Since ancient times, the words of the matchmaker of his parents, Ye Cheng's private repentance of marriage, for the stubborn Qin Hai, it is simply a big rebellion.

"I think he should also know that it is impossible for him and the person in the Qinglou to be open, so he should elope."

"Elopement?" Qin Hai couldn't sit still even more, "If he is still his Ye Gongzi, then the elopement will be ridiculed for a few years at most, but he is now an official of the imperial court, without His Majesty's holy decree, leaving his post without permission is a serious crime!" ”

"That's right." Chu Luan hooked his lips, "Prime Minister Ye Cheng will definitely not watch his son be convicted, so there is still a turning point in this matter." Let's not say that we are the victims, we are the party that takes advantage, as long as we catch Ye Chengxiang and elope, Ye Fu will not dare to let Ye Chenghu come. At that point, it is up to us whether we will continue to marry or reconcile or make amends. ”

Listening to Chu Luan's words, Qin Hai only felt that she had really changed, and now she was so ruthless in doing things, she didn't think about being forgiving and forgiving at all. But this is really relieving, and Qin Hai also agreed.

Qin Yuan noticed carefully that even though Chu Luan's method was pressing on Ye Cheng step by step, she never thought of starting from the man in the Qinglou.

Chu Luan has changed, but he hasn't changed.
