For the first time in his life, he wanted to be with the same person, wanted to give her a bright future, and even wanted to hear her call him Mr. Zhu every day, but he was actually being sentimental.
How ridiculous, he was too self-righteous, thinking that she must be of the same mind as him.
That's all, that's all, if she is heartless, why should he be persistent
Later, Zhu Ruilin passed the exam at a young age and entered the Sixth School as an assistant teacher of law. In another year, he was promoted to a doctor of law.
It was decided that the ceremony would be held on the twenty-third day of the first lunar month of the following year, and the marriage would be completed on the tenth day of the second lunar month.
Zhu Ruilin also took Zhu's mother to Liangzhu, but he did not tell his mother about Shi Xianhuang's intention to harm him.
I reported it to the police and heard that after searching for a year or two, I still couldn't find Shi Xianhuang's whereabouts.
Time flies like an arrow, winter ends and spring returns.
On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, the Qian family decorated and hung lanterns, and relatives and friends celebrated. Everyone said that Mr. Qian had found a good husband for his daughter. They wished the doctor a young and promising man. In a year or two, he would have accumulated some connections in the Sixth School and entered the university. After becoming an official, you will be more at home.
All the guests drank until late in the evening before they dispersed.
Zhu Ruilin never expected that Jin Tang'er would also come. Jin Tang'er's cousin married Qian Chaochao's cousin.
He glanced at her across the crowd of guests, but did not dare to look directly at her.
The girl following Jin Yingfeng has a dignified manner, hibiscus pink face, a pair of amorous almond eyes, two crescent-shaped eyebrows, a pair of coral pendants in her ears, and a simple black bun.
Jin Tang'er naturally saw him at a glance. She knew that this shouldn't be done. It shouldn't have been like this a long time ago. After all these years, she should let go. Originally, she and he were unrelated people.
Just a few words, just a few times to get off the carriage and salute, and just to see him, I followed my brothers at home to go to school early, and opened the curtain on the carriage to take a look at him from a distance.
Her eyes were calm, but her hands were clasped tightly in front of her belly and she did not relax. She followed her cousin and joked with the female relatives. She could not hear what those women said. Her ears could not hear the laughter, noise and words of these people. , it has nothing to do with her.
Jin Yingfeng said, "I heard that the Chao Chao of your family has a look that sinks like a fish or a wild goose, and is shy of flowers when the moon is closed. He is proficient in poetry, songs, etiquette, and music. He also pays attention to the three obediences and four virtues, and respects his parents."
A woman answered, "In the past, my aunt always said that Chao Chao looked gentle, but was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and easily disobeyed others. Now it's better, and she finally found Dr. Zhu who can be in her high regard."
Everyone was joking, and Jin Tang'er was feeling sad. She couldn't cry, she could only laugh. She didn't even dare to say wishing you well, sir.
He is no longer Mr. Zhu in the school, but now he is called Dr. Zhu.
He and her never spoke a word again.
He didn't want to have any more delusions. He had already made up his mind to be with Qian Chaochao for the rest of his life, so he shouldn't look at anyone else again.
The maid returned to the wedding room and whispered in Qian Chaochao's ear.
Qian Chaochao covered his head and sneered, "How dare she come on such a day?"
"The young lady didn't see that my uncle's eyes were straight."
"What about her?"
The maid added to her jealousy, "My uncle and I were flirting with each other. If others weren't paying attention, they naturally didn't notice."
Qian Chaochao was very angry. She was different from other women. The more impatient she was, the better she was at pretending. In fact, within a moment of being angry, she had already thought of a backup plan.
Qian Chaochao did not hesitate, lifted his hijab, and asked the maid to take the pen.
"Miss, my uncle hasn't come in yet, you..."
"Go get a pen and paper, I don't want to say it again."
"yes."
It was written in a short time, and before the ink was dry, her plan was already born.
Ask the boy waiting next to you to come over.
As soon as the wedding banquet ended, Jin Yingfeng was surrounded by the ladies of the Qian family, all of whom were eager to talk to her.
During the wedding banquet, a maid handed a letter to Jin Tang'er. The letter said that she had something to do at home and asked her to go back. The person waiting next to Jin Tang'er asked, "Do you want to ask Miss Feng'er to go back with you?"
Seeing that she was chatting happily with others and that what she wrote in the letter was not of any importance, Jin Tang'er said, "You stay here and talk to my cousin later."
"The villain should go back with the young lady."
"Come on, it's not a long way. I'll go back after a walk." She didn't want to stay any longer, let alone see the red eyes.
He got up and left.
Zhu Ruilin was stunned as her figure disappeared from the crowd, and it took him a while to react.
Here, Jin Tang'er just walked out of the gate of Qian's Mansion. After walking for a while, someone suddenly covered her mouth with his hand and dragged her to the ground. After dragging her for a hundred steps, she finally found a chance to call for help. , this person immediately raised his palm to knock her out.
It had been a night since she saw the light again.
She didn’t know who these people were, let alone where she was taken.
Two people took off her shoes and socks, clamped sticks between her legs, one grabbed her hair, and another had a clamp ready.
The clamping stick was put on the ankle bone. The two of them pulled the rope outward and tightened it. The clamping stick penetrated the skin and flesh and passed through the muscles and bones. She cried out in pain. The clamping stick became tighter and tighter. She gritted her teeth and felt that her legs were no longer her own. Yes, it hurt so much that I became numb.
She was in a daze from pain and finally fainted to the ground.
The man refused to let her go and sprayed cold water on her to wake her up.
Even after a day of torture, it seemed that they had no intention of cutting off her legs. They just wanted to inflict some pain on her so that she would be in severe pain, but not so much that she would never be able to walk and become a useless person for the rest of her life.
The next day one of them gave her some medicine. She didn't know what it was. She was forced to take a few sips. Soon after she finished drinking, she understood what it was and she couldn't say another word. They silenced her.
At night they closed the door tightly and left one person to watch over her.
The man saw how pretty she was and moved his hands and feet around her body. She felt terrified. In the confusion, she wanted to push him away, but by some strange coincidence, she found a short dagger on his waist. Jin Tang'er used all her strength , stabbed into his throat with all her strength, until the thief's blood flowed out. After waiting for a long time and no more movement from the man, Jin Tang'er just stopped. She sat on the ground exhausted.
After not eating or drinking for several days, she had just exhausted all her strength.
After taking a break for half a cup of tea, she saw that the bright moon had come out, and she found that the clothes on her body were caked. She didn't know whether it was her previous blood or the thief's blood that had solidified on her body.
She calmed down, knowing that there were not many opportunities. If she missed this one, she might really be tortured to death by these people.
My legs hurt, and every step I took felt like walking on a knife's edge.
She ran for three or four miles, her body was weak, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the corners of her lips were cracked by the cold wind. This seemed to be a mountain. She couldn't distinguish the east, west, north, and west, and she was spinning in the woods.
Sudden!
Someone was pushing a cart not far from the woods.
It's an ox cart.
Daybreak is coming, and people in the mountains get up early to work in the fields.
When she saw an old man with white beard and hair, she let out a long sigh.
When the old man saw a girl covered in blood, he was startled and asked, "Where did the girl come from, and why did she spend the night in the mountains?"
Jin Tang'er wanted to speak, but couldn't say a word for a long time.
The old man said, "It's so pitiful that he can't even speak."
Jin Tang'er thought of something, and wrote on the ground with a branch as a pen, "I am from Liangzhu, and I was robbed here by thieves. If the old man can send me back, I will be grateful."
Fortunately, he knew a few words, nodded and said, "I can't complain. I see that the girl has beautiful features, like the children of a wealthy family. It's pitiful that she was brought here. Although this is outside the city, I am leading the ox cart, just to I'm on my way to Liangzhu to buy charcoal fires for the winter."
The old man smiled and asked Jin Tang'er to get on the back of the cart. He was very enthusiastic. Jin Tang'er hesitated again and again, worried that he was deceiving her, and also afraid that if she missed him, she would have no chance to return to Liangzhu. She had no strength. , she has been escaping in the woods without a trace until now. If the thieves catch up, she will definitely die this time.
The old man walked a few steps, and the oxcart moved forward slowly. He gave Jin Tang'er a steamed bun and said, "First of all, you need to pacify your stomach. Have you not eaten for a long time?"
Jin Tang'er nodded.
She took a few mouthfuls, and her vision gradually blurred.
In just a cup of hot tea, the ox cart had crossed the mountain and stopped outside Liangzhu City.
Jin Tang'er opened her eyes. She was lying alone on the bullock cart, holding a note in her hand.
"The Splendid City of Kyoto is so cool to people's hearts."
She seemed to understand, and immediately looked around, looking for that person.
Perhaps, it was the previous Warlock.
