Views:

After the girl Cuihua found out that she had spoken her real name, the girl kept looking at her furtively. After thinking about it for a long time, she suddenly blushed, bowed her head and twisted the quilt and said, "I know... I know that my name is very dirty and it's a joke."

This name is more than just dirt, it's just dirt. Xifeng can't laugh or cry, the world is so big, but there is such a coincidence. She looked at the girl Cuihua helplessly and said, "Not long ago, the girl of the Sun family was evil, and it happened that I helped the Sun family catch the demon. I heard her mention you."

Miss Cuihua hurriedly asked, "How is Qianqian now?"

"It's almost recovered."

"This is good, this is good." Luo Cuihua said several times in a row, "After my father and mother knew about this, they also sent a letter to ask hello. I should have gone to see it, but it coincided with the court draft. He also became a good person, but he didn't go."

Xifeng understands that the monarch drafts and enriches the harem is something that Yueguo does every three years. It turns out that it is now the third year. The selected girl was called a benevolent person, and she entered the palace with the eunuch at the beginning of August and was selected as a concubine.

If you are not selected as a concubine, you can still go to the Prince's East Palace, or the palace of the kings. The worst thing is that you can't choose anything. You can only be an ordinary palace maid for a lifetime, and let it go when you are old.

Before the court comes to lead people, the beloved cannot walk around casually, and it seems that tomorrow will be the first day of the eighth lunar month...

She looked at the Cuihua girl and asked, "You shouldn't have escaped..."

"Yes."

Did not deny it! Xifeng was astonished: "When I rescued you, there was a man who claimed to be the housekeeper of Luofu and led a bunch of servants to take you back, but..."

"result?"

Xifeng said with grief: "In the end, I beat them up..."

Miss Cuihua smiled: "Girl, you are so bold, I envy people like you, you are very powerful."

Xifeng was not at all happy about the praise, and she thought of a not-so-good question: "If you can be a good person... Your father is an official?"

Miss Cuihua nodded and said, "It's a seventh-rank petty official."

That is also an official, and Xifeng is not willing to offend people in the government. You must know that the sect of catching monsters officially recognized by the imperial court is the Lingdian, and even the national teachers are taught from the Lingdian, so there is a slight pressure on the chasing monsters who have no sect and no sect. She has no sect and no sect. The people in the government also have to worry about it, for fear of being questioned.

Now that she has kidnapped the girl of the seventh-rank official, it would not be difficult if she had the heart to convict her.

Xifeng grabbed her wrist and said, "I'll take you home now!"

"Girl..." Cuihua's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and two drops of "dong dong" dropped, "I still want to see Zhou Lang, and I can't go with you now."

"Who is Zhou Lang, that Zhou Xiucai?"

"Yes, the two of us are childhood sweethearts and have mutual interests. If it wasn't for the death of his grandmother, he was filial piety, and we would have gotten married. Who would have wanted to enter the palace in this year's court draft... Who knows if I will be selected as a concubine or concubine? , even if you can't, you have to stay in the palace as a palace maid, and then come out, you have to be in your 30s or over, how will you see my Zhou Lang?"

Xifeng sighed in his heart. According to the words, these two were probably a pair of talented and beautiful women who were going to elope again. This kind of drama has not been uncommon since ancient times, but he has been selected as a good man and will soon enter the palace. As soon as she ran away, the Luo family would also be convicted by the court.

Pursuing the eternal life together is their business, but elopement is not their business.

She didn't ask who Zhou Xiu was, and after thinking about it, she didn't have the right to send Miss Cuihua home. Sending her back, she missed that Zhou Lang, and she also had the fault of blocking the lover. But just letting her go and letting her and Zhou Xiucai elope successfully, then she seems to be indirectly sorry for the Luo family.

So no matter what, that's the best way.

Xifeng let go of her wrist and said, "I paid the money for this inn for you. If you want to sleep here tonight, you can find your Zhou Lang or go home. It's just as if we haven't met. , okay?"

"Thank you, girl." Cuihua said gratefully, "I will never forget your kindness."

Xifeng waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving."

"I'm leaving too. I made an appointment with Zhou Lang to meet him in the suburbs. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with that hour."

"Okay, that's it..." Xifeng glanced at the night. Tomorrow's first day, and the moon was silent tonight. She hurried to the suburbs alone at night. Not to mention bad people, she was afraid of man-eating monsters.

After all, girls with tender skin and tender meat are the perfect food for monsters.

She paused and said, "I'll take you there."

On the outskirts of the town, there is a long river. The west wind saw a person standing on the river bank from a distance, and a boat was parked by the river.

Sure enough, I want to run away.

Miss Cuihua saw the man in the distance, ran over quickly, pounced on the man and said, "I'm late, you waited for a long time."

It's been a while, and of course she's late. Zhou Xiucai hugged her and said warmly, "It won't be long after you wait."

Xifeng looked at the two of them from a distance. It was really a concubine of love. It really took a lot of determination to leave behind all the glory. It was impossible to say whether it was right or wrong, but it had nothing to do with her.

Seeing that they were about to run away together at night, Xifeng thought about whether to give them gifts.

Should... no.

Send Cuihua here, she should go too, she has nothing to do with her. Xifeng hummed softly, thinking about Qingyuan, Xiaohuo and Yueer, and the bed in the inn. There shouldn't be any sweet dreams tonight, after all, Qingyuan is not here, and...

"Goodbye, Xiao Cui, after you enter the palace, take care of yourself."

"Farewell, Zhou Lang, you have to inherit the family business well."

The two hugged abruptly and let go of each other tearfully. Xifeng, who was still worried about the gift money, paused and looked at the two of them in amazement: "Wait, aren't you going to elope???"

Which one is this singing!

What about the drama of a good scholar kidnapping a daughter? ?

All this hardships to meet each other is to solemnly part

Miss Cuihua shook her head, wiped away the tears on her face, and said, "Elope? How can we abandon our family members. If a loved one escapes, the government will hold his family accountable, and the worst case will go to jail. How can I be so selfish and unfilial? thing."

"...So you met just to say goodbye?"

Zhou Xiucai said at this time: "Thank you girl for your righteous help, and let me and Xiaocui meet up and say goodbye solemnly. Xiaocui, if you are fortunate enough not to be concubine or to enter the palace, I will wait for you for 18 years and wait for you to leave. Palace, let's continue the front line."

Cuihua girl couldn't help crying, and buried her head in front of his chest again: "Zhou Lang..."

"..." Xifeng stared at these two talented and beautiful women who didn't follow their words, and was stunned for a long time.

In general, the scenes are not all about a talented person hooking up with a beautiful woman and then ignoring everything, discarding the elderly parents on both sides, only looking at love, escaping without family affection, and living a happy life without any worries from then on

Why didn't these two go the usual way? ?

"Xiao Cui."

"Zhou Lang."

The two said goodbye to tears again and again, and Cuihua finally turned around decisively, wiped away her tears, stopped looking at her Zhou Lang, and said to Xifeng, "It's late at night, and there is no one on the road, can you ask the girl to take me home."

Still stunned, Xifeng came back to his senses, and then looked at Zhou Xiucai who was walking away with his back, but still felt that he had not been able to return to his senses completely.

Did they really separate? Zhou Xiucai really has to wait 18 years for his Xiaocui to leave the palace

Thinking of her suspicion just now, she felt like a jerk: "I didn't expect you to leave here with him, I thought you would abandon your family and go."

"How can we do such unfilial things." Miss Cuihua shook her head lightly and said, "It is true that we would like to be together forever, but how can we abandon our family members for the sake of our children's personal feelings. If we have feelings for each other, after 18 years Immortal, it can not only protect the well-being of the family, but also grow old."

Xifeng looked at her and thought she was a fragile and ignorant girl, but she was far more rational and strong than she imagined.

Although Cuihua's name is vulgar, she is definitely a girl who understands righteousness.

It is a pity that I will enter the palace. If I am unlucky, I will be a concubine, enter the East Palace, enter the palace, and be brushed down layer by layer.

For others, being brushed is a tragic event, but for Miss Cuihua, it is a great blessing.

I'm afraid that someone who doesn't want to be a concubine becomes a concubine.

The west wind became worried, but there was no way to help the lovers.

On the way back, Miss Cuihua told her a lot of past events, starting from the time she moved to Nanlin Alley and met Zhou Xiucai who lived in the same alley. At first they were enemies, but then they grew up and got to know each other gradually. It was not until he went to study abroad and returned a year later to see each other again under the moon.

The simple and pure feelings are eloquently explained, making Xifeng feel that ordinary is very good, and does not need to be vigorous.

Just the thought of eighteen years, eighteen years for mortals, made Xifeng feel anxious.

Walking back to town from the suburbs, Miss Cuihua kept talking, her voice getting lower and lower. The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and seeing that it was almost dawn, her voice became more and more hoarse, until in the end she couldn't say anything. Standing in the same place and looking down at the shadow on the ground, I was about to cry.

Her shadow was slender and slender by the rising sun, and she looked extremely delicate and her back was silent.

"Girl... can I ask you one thing..." She looked up at her with tears in her eyes, "please, when I enter the palace, tell him for me and tell him not to wait. Eighteen years is too long... too long now…”

Xifeng was stunned, she thought she didn't know, eighteen years was a long time.

It was so easy to say just now.

It was actually acting.

That Zhou Lang who smiled and said to wait for her, when he turned to leave, did his eyes also turn red, and turned back to look at him quietly again

"I promise you, I will tell him."

"thanks."

The morning sun has risen, and it is time for the official mansion to pick up the beloved and rush to the capital.

Xifeng glanced at the dazzling morning sun, and for some reason, she thought of Qingyuan again. Staying together is difficult, parting is easy, so cherish the people in front of you. When Qing Yuan comes back, she must kiss him—even if he becomes a south wind.

As soon as the two walked to the entrance of Nanlin Alley, they heard a commotion in the alley. She subconsciously stopped Miss Cuihua, hid behind the wall at the entrance of the alley and looked forward, only to see that there was a lot of people standing in front of the door with the Luofu plaque, and there was a large carriage.

"You are waiting for me here, I'll go take a look first." Xifeng said again, "Don't come out."

Miss Cuihua was busy hiding against the wall, not knowing what happened at the door of the house. After Xifeng walked away for a while, she remembered that this time seemed to be the time when the government came to pick up her beloved.

She thought, and hurriedly walked towards the long alley, trying to catch up with the west wind. But Xifeng's footsteps were fast, and when she came out of the alley, Xifeng had already arrived at the gate of Luo's house.

The people standing in front of the Luofu gate were all from the government, and the person who spoke in a rough voice seemed very anxious: "Master Luo, it's not that the officials are embarrassing you, it's just that the court has the rules of the court, if you don't Hand over the beloved, and don't blame the lower officials for reporting the truth."

The scolded Master Luo looked anxious, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He couldn't say that his daughter ran away, nor could he say that his daughter was not there. He was so anxious that his mouth could not speak.

Xifeng squeezed forward, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Butler Na Luo shouted yesterday, causing everyone to look at him in unison. In a hurry, he stammered: "She, she... it's her..."

Xifeng sneered at him, yes, yes, she tied up his young lady, no, she sent her back. Before she could open her mouth, she was grabbed by the officer on the left and right arms, and pushed it directly into the car, and said while pushing: "Miss Luo Jia, you are here, get in the car quickly, everyone will lose their heads if the time is missed!"

"...Wait, I'm not Cuihua!"

"What? You're not?" The official paused and looked at the startled Lord Luo, "Isn't this your daughter?"

Lord Luo stared at Xifeng, thinking that his daughter might have eloped with that bastard that week, and he would lose his head if he told the truth, he suddenly jolted and said, "She is my daughter, Cuihua, Come on, don't get angry."

Xifeng was stunned, kicking his legs and shouting, "I'm not Cuihua! I'm not Cuihua!"

But it was too late, the official put her in the car and said, "Come on, go to the capital."

Xifeng wailed: "I'm not Cuihua... I'm not..."

Master Luo looked at the passing carriage in horror. As soon as he wiped off his sweat, he saw his daughter standing at the door of the house in a daze. Xiaocui! Stop!"

He stepped forward and grabbed his daughter, looked at the carriage that went away, and stomped angrily, but the carriage could not come back.

Lord Luo froze in place, not knowing what to do, he sighed heavily, God's will.

This will catch up and say that it is not his daughter, it is a crime of bullying the king and a death sentence; when the girl goes to the imperial city, and her identity is revealed, it is also a crime of bullying the king and a death sentence.

Everywhere is dead.

How can this be done.
