Chapter 5: Real Name
This young man is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and if she is called a sister, she is not afraid to respond.
What he said just now must have been to make her happy, and he deliberately stepped on Pei Yanche...... In this regard, Zhu Xingchunruo said that there is no trace of happy emotions in his heart, which is false.
After all, she is not a saint who repays grievances with virtue.
Xingchun lifted the teapot and was about to fill it with two more, but his hand stopped in mid-air and paused.
At this age, a teenager who is still wandering alone should not be used to eating tea, so he has a better sweet tooth, right?
Thinking of this, she pushed a plate of osmanthus cake on the table that had barely touched in front of the young man, and said with a smile: "My surname is Zhu, if the son likes the taste next to it, just put it on my account." ”
The young man's previously tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and the posture when he twisted the pastry, as well as the joy in his eyes, made Zhu Xingchun sigh slightly.
She really guessed eight or nine.
It wasn't until he was half-full that the young man suddenly remembered a question before sitting down: "How does Sister Zhu know that I am not from Beijing?" If it's about distinguishing accents, can I even hear it when I'm traveling alone? ”
Zhu Xingchun supported his jaw with his hand: "Naturally, I can't hear it, but a son of your age from an ordinary family should be working hard in the academy at this moment." ”
Speaking of this, the young man's eyebrows twisted slightly.
It's really young, such a young young master, only a few pages of the script, can run away from home without hesitation, and go to his dream of going to the end of the world with a sword, it's really good.
Xingchun sighed silently, but after sighing, he was a little sad.
Perhaps her eyes were so kind that she was a little kind, and the young man's voice gradually took a hint of cautious hesitation: "I have never liked to study, but my family is pressing, so I don't stop doing it and escape directly...... In this way, I spent several years without incident, but who knew that one time I suddenly showed my feet and was noticed by my family, so I had to change my name and surname to hide, for fear that they would catch me again. ”
"Change your name and surname?"
The young man choked, but only for a moment, and said with crooked eyebrows: "I think it was because my sister and I hit it off at first sight, and we never exchanged names and surnames." It's rude, my surname is Li, and my name is Fuchao. ”
He sat up straight, the light in his eyes was a flowing river, and the red rope tied to his hair was intertwined with the extreme black, swaying with the movements of the undulating waves.
"This is my real name."
The distance is clearly close at hand, but Zhu Xingchun suddenly feels that there is a long distance between the mountains and the water.
She curled her sideburns and was about to speak, but there was a commotion downstairs in the teahouse.
faintly, there are still words such as "county lord".
Duancheng came in person?
Li Fuchao trembled with fright, but he listened attentively, and after listening to the footsteps, he relaxed again, "About two or three women, sister, this is looking for you." ”
He stood up, gave way to his position, and walked to the other side of the stairs.
When he was about to turn the corner, Li Fuchao paused for a few breaths, didn't look back, only raised his hand and waved it casually: "Since I wish my sister still has something to do, I won't bother anymore." After all, my family is chasing after me, so I have to hurry early, and if there is a fate, I will see you again. ”
Zhu Xingchun didn't have time to stop him, so he could only watch the dark red clothes drag down a few steps away. She sighed, picked up the tea stains on the table, and replaced the pastry that she tasted so sweet.
With the connections of the county lord of Duancheng in Beijing, wouldn't it be embarrassing if they met head-on with old acquaintances? Li Fuchao's worries are normal.
Of course, she knew that this young man's rhetoric was full of loopholes, but when they met in Pingshui, why bother.
Everyone has their own things to be busy with, just like she is now, there is still a tough battle to fight, and there is a big Buddha to wait.
When the crisp sound of pearls colliding sounded, Zhu Xingchun did not raise his eyes. The county lord of Duancheng didn't speak, she didn't just take away the maids beside her, and with an even breathing sound, she only sat opposite Xingchun familiarly.
The street corner was very busy, but this small area was as quiet as two thin shadows hanging upside down in the corner.
Duancheng lowered her head, her black hair trickled and rolled, and Zhu Xingchun said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but the county lord's demeanor is still the same." But why is the spirit so bad? ”
Duancheng laughed briefly: "It's nothing, I just think that the almost twenty years of life since I was born are like a joke in the eyes of others." ”
"The county lord has a noble status, if you don't feel sorry for yourself, no one will treat you as a joke."
"Really? I wish you all the best, that's because you won. The county lord of Duancheng looked at her gloomily, "You are originally a farmer, but Pei Yanche, who grew up with you, loves you as much as you do, and you also cross classes as a woman." On the surface, everyone respects me, but in fact, the truth I understand, what I really hold in the palm of my hand, is even worse than any drooping child on the street. ”
Her fingertips unconsciously rubbed her sleeves, the material of her clothes seemed simple, but in fact it was a treasure from the subject country last year.
"Including the glory of my proud fate, it is also because of the good birth cast, God gave me a mother who is the eldest princess."
Zhu Xingchun said slowly: "If you can cast a good baby, you have surpassed most of the poor people in this world." What's more, Lord Pei's heavy love, the people really don't dare to bear it, if the county lord likes this type of man, he only needs to post a recruitment, and then spend a lot of money, so much is willing to take the initiative to post it, and he is more obedient and sensible than him. ”
"If you love him, you have to be inferior and be a concubine?" After hearing this, the county lord of Duancheng frowned.
Xingchun smiled slightly and leaned back in the chair: "He really went back to sue you." ”
"But no, with two huge handprints, the county lord had the urge to not recognize him for the first time in his life in front of several friends in his boudoir."
Duancheng lowered his eyelashes, "But what's the use of that?" has already held him to the threshold of officialdom, even if he regrets it, he can only break his teeth and swallow blood. ”
Based on a few words today, Zhu Xingchun concluded that the county lord of Duancheng was far from what she originally thought in her heart.
Her words and deeds are full of grievances.
It is said that the prime minister taught the best students this time, just to plan for the future of Duancheng.
But this marriage was full of calculations from the beginning, how can it be called complete?
However, it will be easy to do now.
Zhu Xingchun looked at her thin body, and hurriedly threw down the bait: "Dare to ask the county lord who came today to vent his evil anger for Lord Pei, or to find a better way out?" What a simple thing it is to lose Pei Zhuangyuan, the prime minister has a prominent official position, and there will always be disciples who are forever young and vigorous...... In short, as long as it is what the county lord wants, the prime minister loves his daughter and will definitely not refuse. ”
"What the folk girl wants to ask is, is the end of the way out for others, or for the county lord himself?"
