"Hey, Second Brother Shen—Second Brother Shen..."
Seeing that the carriage didn't stop, Youshi trotted a few steps to chase after it.
Hu Meijiao grabbed her, looked at the car going away bitterly, and said, "Mom, what are you doing? Didn't you see that people ignored us? What are we going to do to embarrass us?"
Youshi asked urgently: "What are you doing? What are you talking about? Let's take a ride. If we have the money to hire a car, we can walk back with two feet in the year of the monkey?"
"If we can't go back, we won't go back. Anyway, we don't have a house or a home in Nong'an. Why do we have to go back? This place is much more prosperous than ours in Nong'an. Isn't it the same to stay here and find some work? Everywhere is life!"
What Hu Meijiao meant was that they didn't have to go back to Nong'an anyway, so instead of begging to go back, they might as well find a nearby town to live in and settle down here.
Settling down in the capital is definitely not an option. Although the capital is rich and prosperous, she offended Lord Zhan, who is so terrible, he looks like a Rakshasa when he gets angry. She dare not stay in the capital anymore. If she stays in the capital After meeting him, he remembered who she was again, what would he do if he wanted to kill her? It's better to leave the capital and find another place to settle down!
There is nothing worth nostalgic about that poor and dilapidated place in Nong'an, so my mother just wants to go back.
In fact, she knows what mother is thinking, but she is still thinking about Shen Dachun, because since she left backing Shantuner, she has seen mother hold the things Shen Dachun bought for her in a daze and shed tears more than once. , Thinking of how kind he was to her in the past, and thinking of the comfortable life the two of them had had when he was there.
However, Hu Meijiao didn't miss that time at all, and she didn't sympathize with her mother at all. Shen Dachun was just a farmer, a low-class person who ate in the soil, and he gave their mothers the three melons and dates. It was barely enough to make ends meet for them. She used to think that Shen Dachun was pretty good, but since she saw the prosperity and prosperity of the capital, especially the man she feared and admired, she no longer looked down on that farmer Shen Dachun.
She thinks that if Shen Dachun is as noble, rich and handsome as King Zhan, mother thinks he is worth it, but he is a poor widower who even betrayed her feelings, what is there to think about? She wouldn't even want a man like that for nothing. Mother still misses him? so funny!
Although she was afraid of King Zhan, she was afraid of him to death, but she still liked a man like him in her heart!
If she can also find such a man, even if it is to be a concubine, a concubine, or a concubine, she will be satisfied...
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Youshi immediately retorted, "How can that be done? Although we have no house or family there, we were all born and raised there, our roots are there, and our mothers are three-year-olds. I’m in my teens, but I don’t want to leave my hometown and wander around when I’m old.”
Hu Meijiao curled her lips, and said with a sneer: "Even if we go back, don't we drift around the same way? What happens to those who were born there and grew up there? It's not the same as those who want houses or land, even relatives and friends. No, what is there to be nostalgic about? Besides, we don’t have money to spend, so we can’t go back if we want to? We can’t walk all the way and beg for food to go back? Let me tell you, it’s better to find a place to settle down first, maybe we are in the It’s better to live here than over there.”
"Besides, no one here knows what happened to you in the past. No one knows us, so no one will look down on us or bully us. If I find my husband's family in the future, I won't be affected by what happened in the past."
Without the influence of her mother's bad reputation, she can find a good man to marry in a dignified way, and maybe she can find a man as good as Zhan Wang. This place is close to the capital, and many princes and princes have Zhuangzi here. If she stays here, she will definitely have a chance to meet a good man!
She is also getting older every day, and it is time to plan to find a son-in-law. But Niang was only thinking about her lover, she didn't think about her at all, so she had to think about it for herself.
Listening to her analysis, Youshi was very moral, and also saw her determination. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that it was really impossible for them to go back to Nong'an thousands of miles away because they were penniless, so they had no choice but to accept her daughter's offer. It is recommended to find a place to settle down temporarily.
**
When it was dark, Shen Ruolan's family rushed to a town a hundred miles away from the capital, because this small town was the only way for the north to enter Beijing, and the daily passenger flow was huge. The prosperity of the town's economy has made all the shops in the town prosperous, and every household has a lot of money. All kinds of shops are next to each other, and they are more prosperous than ordinary county towns.
Carriage, rattled around on the street for a while, and found an inn that looked relatively clean. Shen Dejian ordered the coachman to stop and went in to have a look. He felt that the inside was clean and tidy, and he was very satisfied, so he took his family to stay. went in.
The Shen family moved in, and Chunyu Jue's guards who were in charge of protecting them naturally also moved in. More than 20 people came to the inn at once, and it was immediately full.
Seeing so many people, the innkeeper was naturally overjoyed, and at the same time ordered the waiter to fetch water to wash the faces and hands of the guests, and then asked the handymen to rush to unload the carts and feed the horses.
After everyone settled down, they went back to the hall to eat. At noon, they were busy on their way. The family ate lunch in the car. It was very simple. They just ate some snacks to make up for it, and they were not full at all. , Now settled down, you can sit down and have a good meal.
Being able to come out of the capital, there is no longer any need to worry about the persecution of Princess Rongjia. Mrs. Mu and Shen Dejian are in a good mood. Although they are very distressed by their daughter's loss of love, in their hearts, Lan Er and King Zhan It's not a good match at all, so even if they split up, the two of them just feel sorry for their daughter's loss of love, and they don't feel any regrets.
Therefore, Shen Dejian, who was in a good mood, boldly ordered a table of dishes, ordered all the good dishes in the inn, and planned to have a good meal for the whole family to celebrate.
Zhu'er and Ju'er were also in a good mood, only Shen Ruolan felt sour, with an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
However, seeing everyone so happy, she was afraid that she would sweep everyone's way, so she forced herself to accompany everyone with a smile.
Shen Dejian said enthusiastically: "When we go back and exchange all the business in Jizhou, father and mother will take you to the south for a walk and give you a lot of insight. It just so happens that dad will also gain insight."
Everyone was happily discussing the outing, and another group of people came in. The leader was a handsome man. This man had a very special temperament. When he smiled, the curvature of his mouth was a bit unrestrained, but When I don't smile, I look at it with a bit of soldier's determination and calmness.
And beside him, there was a woman in white clothes, upon closer inspection, she was actually dressed in filial piety.
It is said that "if you want to be pretty, you should be filial." This woman is already extremely beautiful, she is like a fish falling into a wild goose, and a moon is ashamed of a flower. Wearing this filial dress, she is even more beautiful. Fireworks are like fairies on earth.
Shen Ruolan glanced at the two of them in admiration, and was about to look away, when the beauty suddenly saw her, and her flowery and prosperous beauty suddenly revealed a bit of surprise, and said, "Girl, is it you?"
Shen Ruolan was stunned for a moment. Although she saw this girl very familiarly, she didn't remember who she was for a moment. She was in a daze when the beauty had already walked towards her, took her hand affectionately, and said, "You don't remember me?" Yet?"
"Who is she?" Lu Yuan asked, his eyes were so gentle that water could almost drip when he spoke.
Princess An'an said: "Brother Lu, you don't know something. When I was in Jizhou, one day I was playful and dressed up as a man and went to the street, but I forgot to bring money when I drank tea. It was so embarrassing at that time. Fortunately, this The girl helped me and paid for me—”
Lu Yuan glanced at Shen Ruolan indifferently, then continued to look at An An, and said softly: "Since we met, let me help you return the money to him."
After finishing speaking, he took out a bank note from the bag, before he handed it over.
Shen Ruolan finally remembered this beauty, but she didn't intend to let others repay her. Seeing the large banknote handed over, Shen Ruolan waved her hands repeatedly, and refused: "No need, meeting is fate, I just lift a finger, You two don't need to worry about it."
However, An An refused to let her go easily, her eyes fluttered, and she pursed her lips and said: "Then, I should invite the girl to have a meal too, the girl did me a big favor at that time, I don't mean that Make up your mind, you can't get over it."
Shen Ruolan quickly declined: "No need, really no need, I'm eating with my family, so the girl doesn't have to spend money to invite me, and besides, it's not a big deal, so the girl shouldn't take it back something happened..."
However, Princess An'an looks gentle, but in fact she is one-sided and even somewhat arbitrary. If she wants to invite Shen Ruolan to dinner, of course she can't tolerate Shen Ruolan's refusal.
"Girl, don't refuse me. I don't like to owe others. If the girl doesn't agree, I will feel bad!"
As she said that, those big watery eyes stared at Shen Ruolan flickeringly, her clothes were coquettish or begging, she was so beautiful that she didn't want to be a real person.
Even Shen Ruolan, a woman, felt that she couldn't resist anymore. If another man stood opposite her at this time, he would definitely refuse to run naked!
Lu Yuan looked at her, and was a little absent-minded for a moment. He didn't say anything, just looked at her with a smile like that, without saying a word—
It fully shows the mental retardation that a man in love should have.
Shen Ruolan couldn't bear to be seen by her, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay!"
Hearing her promise, An An immediately showed a sweet smile, and said softly, "By the way, haven't you asked the girl your name yet?"
Speaking of this, she looked back at Lu Yuan beside her, put her orchid fingers on her cheeks, and leaned into Shen Ruolan's ear and whispered: "If you think it's inconvenient for Brother Lu to talk, just tell me quietly, I don't mind Just tell him."
Seeing her childish look, Lu Yuan unconsciously raised the corners of his lips: "Silly girl, I'm practicing martial arts. No matter how low your voice is, I can still hear you, okay?"
Shen Ruolan had nothing to hold back, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "My daughter's name is Shen Ruolan."
When An An heard this, she felt as if she had been stung by something, and took a step back suddenly, almost tripping over a stool.
Her "flower protector" immediately embraced her, and looked at Shen Ruolan warily and coldly.
Shen Ruolan frowned suspiciously and said, "The girl is not feeling well?"
An An shook her head, showing a somewhat poignant smile, lowered her head, and said in a soft voice: "Is your name the Lanhua from Lanhua?"
Shen Ruolan nodded.
An An looked at her carefully again, then turned her head away, looking very sad.
She showed Shen Ruolan a set of very complicated expression fluctuations.
Her watery almond eyes were covered with a light mist, and then she blinked them away. The sadness and pain in her eyes flowed to the corners of her mouth like water, so that the color, shape, and even fine lines of her pink lips carried a hint of bitterness.
She bit her lip, looked at Shen Ruolan for a long time, and finally showed a smile—
It's just that this smile is a bit of a forced smile no matter how you look at it.
The sound was light, like a breeze, or a feather, or perhaps a sigh.
"You're fine, better than me, really."
Shen Ruolan: "..."
She hesitated and looked at the man next to her, and really wanted to ask if this beauty was not very smart
Just seeing the distressed and forbearing expression on the man surnamed "Lu", she swallowed the words that came to her lips—
Abnormal may be contagious.
Although these two people were not very normal, Shen Ruolan had already agreed to have dinner with them, so she couldn't regret it. She told her parents and sat down at Lu Yuan and An An's table.
Lu Yuan arrogantly ordered the inn to make all the dishes that he could and knew, and set up a large table grandly.
However, Shen Ruolan didn't eat very well. It wasn't that the food was unpalatable. She ate dry snacks at noon. She had been looking forward to this dinner for a long time. However, Shen Ruolan had a stomachache after eating this dinner. Maybe Jesus In "The Last Supper", it will not be more tormented than her.
Princess An An has been looking at her sadly, with resentful and wronged eyes, while Lu Yuan looked at An An with pity and firmness in his eyes, while Shen Ruolan looked at the man surnamed Lu expressionlessly, with the words in his eyes— Caring for the mentally handicapped.
When guests who don't know see them, they may feel that the three of them are performing a sad love triangle.
And Shen Ruolan is the one in charge of playing the "scumbag".
After eating this dinner quickly, Shen Ruolan politely thanked them for their hospitality, and then excused herself to be tired and prepared to go back to rest.
When she was going up the stairs, An An chased after her and stopped her—
"Miss Lan'er, aren't you curious about my name?"
Shen Ruolan turned around, looked at this beauty, perhaps a peerless beauty who still had a brain in her head, slowly stepped up, walked in front of her, and spread her palms towards her.
The light on the stairs was dim, and Shen Ruolan could only see a piece of fine-quality and exquisitely carved jade pendant in her palm, engraved with small plum blossom characters, but she couldn't make out what the characters were, so she stretched out her hand and lifted her palm, and took a closer look. look-
A beautiful - word security.
"Are you—?" Shen Ruolan was puzzled.
An An whispered: "I am Princess An An, the fiancee of Prince Zhan."
Hearing this, Shen Ruolan was shocked, and suddenly withdrew the palm supporting the back of her hand, and took a step back.
And the Princess An'an suddenly let out an exclamation, leaned back, and fell lightly on the ground, and then began to cry softly and cry out in pain.
"Uh, you, are you okay..." Shen Ruolan looked down at the steps under her feet, not knowing why she fell down, but Princess An An fell from the second-to-last step, theoretically speaking, there should be nothing wrong Ah... why is she called so miserable
Could it be that the princess is extraordinarily delicate
"Bold! How dare you hurt His Royal Highness the princess!" When Lu Yuan, who was a step behind, rushed over, what he saw was such a scene that made his eyes tear.
He hastily and carefully lifted Princess An'an up, as if he was afraid of breaking her, and said, "An'an, where does it hurt you?"
"Brother Lu..." Princess An'an said with a weeping voice, "Everywhere hurts me..."
As if he was afraid that Lu Yuan would forget about Shen Ruolan, he frowned and said, "Miss Lan'er, if you don't like me, just tell me, why do you want to do it?"
Shen Ruolan's stomach began to growl, she frowned secretly and said: "The daughter of the people does not dislike the princess."
"Then why did you push me again?" Princess An'an refused to let go.
Shen Ruolan was also surprised and said: "The girl of the people didn't push you!"
Princess An'an said: "I know you are jealous of me, because I have a marriage contract with Seventh Brother, but you can't..."
"I'm sorry, Princess, but the girl wants to interrupt." Shen Ruolan was annoyed and funny, and said, "If I remember correctly, the prince wants to marry me and you, right? If you talk about the word 'jealous', it's appropriate You are the one who is 'jealous' of me, and it is right to frame me!"
Princess An'an didn't expect Shen Ruolan to be so quick thinking and eloquent, she choked for a moment and hated secretly, but just sobbed and buried her face in Lu Yuan's chest.
This action completely hurt the heart of "Hua Hua Envoy" Lu Yuan.
He stared at Shen Ruolan with red eyes, as if he was concerned that she was Chun Yuxuan's woman, otherwise he might tear her up and let Princess An An vent his anger.
Shen Ruolan couldn't help but said: "You also think I pushed the Princess?"
"I saw it with my own eyes." Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Hehe." After experiencing so many things today, Shen Ruolan laughed out of anger. If it is modern, with surveillance cameras, let's see who dares to touch porcelain!
"why are you laughing?"
Shen Ruolan leaned on the handrail of the stairs and sneered: "I saved the princess with good intentions at the beginning, but now the princess is sitting on the ground and messing around, it has to remind me of a few stories—"
"Like Dong Guo and Wolf."
"The farmer and the snake."
"Hao Jian and the old lady."
"Minister and princess."
