Let Me Pursue You
Chapter 44: 044
Yuan Yu let out a "clam" and glanced at Shi Cui with doubts.
Shi Cui shook her eyelids at him, and signaled that she had quarreled with Lu Shilang.
He dragged out a long "oh" silently, followed by shaking his eyelids, which probably meant to ask her to take good care of the little lady.
Seeing this, Yuan Cixian threw a knife at each of them and said, "What are you two doing, your eyes are cramping?" After saying that, he turned around angrily and left, walked a few steps, turned his head and added, "Brother, you But it's quite tanned!"
Yuan Yu hated others to say that he was black, because if he wasn't black, he would probably be able to rank among the "Three Beauties of Chang'an" with Lu Shiqing and Zheng Zhuo. He was very angry for a while, and yelled at her back: "Yuan Cixian, you owe it to me to clean up, who gave you such brute force that you are used to!"
However, Yuan Cixian had long since disappeared. He quietly calmed down, ordered a few servants to unload the luggage and Xiao Hei from the carriage, and then walked towards the team of Jinwu Guards following behind.
Everyone in the court knew that the sage sent the Jinwu Guards to welcome Lu Qinzhang back to the capital the day before yesterday, but now this team of people followed Yuan Cixian to come here, and he knew that it must be Lu Shiqing's account.
The Jin Wuwei was not someone that his Yuan family could assign casually, he walked quickly, cupped his hands to the leader in red armor and said: "It's cold today, everyone escorted my sister back to the mansion, it's been a hard journey, go inside and have a bowl of hot soup."
Seeing Yuan Yu approaching, a group of people got off their horses together, and one of them replied first: "The general is kind, I will appreciate it, but the brothers are rushing back to report to the saint, so there is no delay, let's leave."
Originally, Yuan Yu was polite and polite, but he coughed in embarrassment and said, "Wait, listen to me." When the young guard approached him with doubts, he continued to ask, "How did Minister Lu explain the truth?" Yours? Tell me."
The guard suddenly realized "Oh", and replied: "Lu Shilang told us to follow the county master all the way. The horse's head is twelve feet away from the rear of the car. We can't be far away, and we can't be close."
Yuan Yu laughed, and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement: "Very good, go back and report."
He just wanted to test, what is Lu Shiqing's attitude towards Yuan Cixian now, so he asked this extra question. Now there is an answer.
This sentence "twelve feet" seems simple, but there is knowledge in it. One point farther away, if there is danger, the Jinwu Guards will be out of reach, one point closer, with Yuan Cixian's temper, it is estimated that she will be annoyed and kick people out.
It seems that my sister's trip was worthwhile, and Lu Shiqing is becoming more and more interested in her.
With his mind made up, he went to Yuan Cixian's courtyard, intending to be a peacemaker and tell her to calm down, but then he heard that she had just gone to take a bath, so he had to go to her study and wait.
This study was newly opened in March when Yuan Cixian was not at the house, and now it is fully furnished. It's just that she was outside earlier and she didn't dare to touch her things. Just after getting her approval, she ordered the servants to move some toys and books that were originally placed in her room here.
Yuan Yu sat for a long while, seeing people rushing in and out, bored and thinking about nothing to do, so she also got up to tidy up for her, when she placed a stack of books, she unexpectedly brought out a thin piece of paper from one of the volumes .
There was a long list of names written in black and white, and he identified a few of them, and found that these people were all young gentlemen of Chang'an City.
Yuan Yu was dazed, and beckoned for Caizhi and Shicui to come over, took the paper and asked them: "Is Cixian choosing a husband behind my back?"
Shi Cui looked at her and replied: "Back to the lord, no. About four months ago, the young lady once ordered the servant girl to find out all the lords in Chang'an who were about the same age as the sixth prince and who had a close relationship with her and who knew her." After the maidservant investigated, she found that the Sixth Prince's contacts with others were mostly as light as water, and there were very few people who had a close relationship. Count it in."
Yuan Yu nodded, and looked at the list again: "Then why didn't Lu Zishu be included?"
Shi Cui was taken aback for a moment, and leaned over to have a look, and said in surprise: "It's true. The servant girl listens to the young lady talking about Lu Shilang every day, but she missed him."
As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came in: "Why count him? Anyway, it can't be him."
It was Yuan Cixian who came, her body was covered with the fragrance of flower dew, she must have taken a bath very hard.
Yuan Yu took the paper and got up: "What is impossible, why are you checking this?"
There were servants on all sides, so she didn't want to say much, so she just said "nothing" and got over it. Four months ago, when Shi Cui gave her the list, she had already discovered that Lu Shiqing was missing, but it was useless to add him. She was looking for someone who had secretly loved her for many years in her dream, how could it be someone like Lu Shiqing who looked at people with his nostrils.
Yuan Yu didn't ask any further questions. Seeing that she was still angry, she persuaded, "You girl, are you still angry? Come on, sit down and talk to brother, how did Lu Zishu annoy you?"
Yuan Cixian didn't want to say it. Forget about the other things, at most it was a waste of her conscience and feelings, but the most important thing is that she confessed to finding him as a backer because she misunderstood that he had passed away soon.
This is what she is most angry about. Being deceived by Lu Shiqing and knowing that she wasn't sincere, her hard work in the past six months must have been in vain!
Seeing that she didn't answer, Yuan Yu continued: "Oh, why don't you find someone to beat him up right now?"
She glanced at him and snorted: "Do you want to eat in prison? He is so powerful that he will report to the police and arrest him every now and then."
"Why, he still dares to catch the future brother-in-law?"
Yuan Cixian was taken aback when he heard the words.
Seeing her like this, Yuan Yu explained: "Oh, you don't know yet. A few days ago, the saint called me several times to discuss matters, and one time he talked about your marriage. According to him, he probably intends to marry you and Lu Zishu. Said to wait until the twelfth lunar month, when our father and mother come to Chang'an and discuss it in detail."
Yuan Cixian was almost shocked: "Why is no one asking my opinion on such an important matter?"
Yuan Yu glanced at her: "You have chased Lu Zishu to Shuzhou, and everyone in the court knows your opinion, is it good? If you really want to ask, I'm afraid you have to see if they are willing to marry you."
Yuan Cixian was stunned.
Wow, no see in March, who did her elder brother give the ecstasy potion!
She got up and said, "I regret it? I don't want to marry, tell him to marry me!"
Yuan Yu was stunned for a while, then waved back the servants, and when only Yuan Cixian was left in the room, he said, "Cixian, didn't you say that Lu Zishu is the emperor's teacher who will assist the thirteenth prince to ascend the throne in the future, we have to win over this prince as soon as possible." Is Dashan an ally?"
Yuan Cixian sighed: "It was originally so good, but I suddenly thought of it recently, in fact, history may not follow the original track, after all, because of my many participations, many things are different. Let's talk about Lu Shiqing, how do you know?" Do you know that he can still have a bright future in this life? Maybe he is addicted to my female **** and achieves nothing?"
What she said made sense, but Yuan Yu was speechless. He paused for a while and asked, "What do you think?"
"Stop flirting, stop flirting, let me rest first, and observe for a while before talking."
Yuan Cixian was indeed tired from running around, and rested for several days in a row, until Cai Zhi reminded her that Xu Sanniang had been waiting for news in Chang'an City for several months. He gave a message, roughly explaining the cause and effect of the matter.
Xu Shan did not refuse the invitation, but said that he had important business to do the next day, and he was afraid that he would arrive later. Yuan Cixian went to the place agreed with Xu Sanniang first, and when he arrived at the bank of the Lushui River, he saw a narrow and long black-covered boat moored on the frosty bank. The planks inside were painted in red.
This is a view that can be seen in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, which is rare in Chang'an.
The people in the cabin heard the footsteps approaching and bent over to meet them. They seemed a little surprised to see Yuan Cixian, but they quickly restrained themselves and smiled at her without asking who she was.
She didn't explore Yuan Cixian, but Yuan Cixian couldn't hold back, and looked at her calmly.
The woman in front of her has black hair and blushing temples, almond eyes and red lips, and Xia Fei's temples. She looks so pretty that she doesn't look like she is twenty-four years old. Her attire was far from simple, the primrose-colored group dress had complicated skirts and beaded decorations, but she didn't look like an ordinary "talented woman".
Yuan Cixian smiled back at her, and explained simply: "Mr. has been delayed by something, and I will be there soon."
Xu Ruqing nodded slightly: "It's cold outside, come inside the boat."
Yuan Cixian got off the shore and entered the cabin with her, and immediately smelled a clear smell of alcohol, looked down, and saw a pot of wine scalding on a small red clay stove in the middle of the boat.
She suddenly remembered what she saw just now, Xu Ruqing's face turned red, it seemed that she had indeed drank alcohol.
Seeing her eyes fall on the jug, Xu Ruqing smiled and asked, "Drink a bowl of wine to warm your body?"
Yuan Cixian waved her hand: "No, thank you."
She always felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, as if it was not the time to drink.
Xu Ruqing didn't seem to care too much. After asking her to sit down, he poured wine and said, "I made this black boat by myself. It took more than two months and I just finished it a few days ago." She took a sip of her wine as she spoke. , laughed, "The first time I met him was also in such a black-covered boat. At that time, I was traveling with my grandfather, and I ran into him at the head of the Xunyang River to dismantle my grandfather's platform."
What she was talking about was about twelve years ago, when Xu Shan and Mr. Xu played chess.
Yuan Cixian didn't speak, but listened quietly.
Xu Ruqing continued: "At that time he was only eighteen, and I was only twelve years old, so I didn't understand many things. The second time we met was three years later, on a spring night, when I was fifteen years old. Black boat, I got him drunk..."
When she said this, she took a look at Yuan Cixian's appearance before leaving the pavilion, and said with a smile: "You are still young, it's because I drank too much and made a slip of the tongue."
Yuan Cixian was indeed innocent, but she had said so much, how could she not understand, so she pursed her lips and smiled.
At this moment, Shicui's voice came from outside the boat: "Little lady, Mr. Xu has arrived."
"Okay." She agreed, glanced at Xu Ruqing who was facing her, stood up and said, "You and your husband can catch up on the old days here."
Xu Ru counted his head.
Yuan Cixian stooped out, and at a glance, he saw a man in a toga with big sleeves and a wooden hairpin walking slowly towards the awning boat.
She nodded to him as a greeting, but she was thinking about Xu Ruqing's words in her heart, she didn't pay attention to her feet for a moment, and when she stepped onto the bank, she took a wrong step, slipped on the frosty mud, and was about to fall down.
Lu Shiqing really didn't expect Yuan Cixian to have such a "wonderful" performance, so without thinking too much, he pulled her arm into his arms.
