General Long looked unhappy, as if he was very unhappy to be here as a guest. An Ruochen looked at his cold black face, and thought of her father's flattering smiling face, comparing the two, she chuckled.
With this smile, everyone's eyes shot over. Especially An Changfu's gaze was as sharp as a knife. An Ruochen hurriedly lowered his head to pretend to be good, but before he lowered his head, he saw General Long's expression. When he saw her, he was a little surprised and raised an eyebrow.
An Ruochen lowered his head and muttered, his eyebrows were flexible or something.
The scene seemed to be a little frozen by An Ruochen's smile. Fortunately, there were some accompanying guests around Long Da. His adjutant tried to smooth things over and thanked An Changfu for today's hospitality, while the wealthy businessmen in the city who accompanied him also said polite words.
Only that General Long didn't say a word.
But even if he didn't speak, it wouldn't delay An Changfu's flattery to him.
An Changfu introduced the family members lined up in a row one by one, especially those daughters who had reached the marriageable age and were well-dressed.
An Ruochen watched from the side, and wanted to laugh again. She endured, she is a virtuous and docile young lady, she had to endure. She stared at Long Da while holding back, he had no expression, no emotion, his eyebrows were no longer raised, and his face was like a stone again.
Just as she was thinking this, Long Da's face suddenly turned around, and his eyes met hers.
An Ruochen was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head and continued to pretend to be good, but before she lowered her head, she saw him slightly raised her eyebrows again.
Pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese!
An Ruochen told herself that she was taught by her mother to be a virtuous woman who would not speak foul language.
At this time, An Changfu finally introduced An Ruochen: "This is my eldest daughter."
The introduction is over. How concise!
An Ruochen looked up and smiled. Long Da was standing in front of her, saw her smile, moved the corner of his mouth, and then his eyes fell on her chest. I haven't seen this girl for a few days, but she is still as energetic as she was back then. It's just that her figure has changed so much that it's really incredible.
An Changfu was happily introducing his son, but he didn't pay attention to Long Da's eyes. But An Ruochen noticed it.
Pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese!
Where is he looking
lecher! satyr! shameless!
Sure enough, big breasts are causing trouble, big breasts are really annoying!
The feast of hospitality begins quickly.
An Changfu arranged for his second daughter and fourth daughter to sit on the left and right of Long Da, while An Ruochen was arranged at another table. This is right in An Ruochen's arms. Because her plan was to sneak away from home while the whole family was busy flattering and hugging their thighs and neglecting other things.
So not long after the banquet, An Ruochen quietly withdrew from the banquet.
Nobody noticed, nobody cared. Her whole family is trying their best to please General Long, wanting General Long to talk and smile. The people at General Long's side are trying their best to smooth things over, so as not to offend An Jia, the richest man in Zhonglan City, and not to offend the well-known General Long.
So An Ruochen observed the situation, found an opportunity, and went back to the room.
This time, she had to act fast, there was no time to cover her chest. But she wasn't planning to travel long distances, so that shouldn't be a problem.
She had to escape to that small rented house to hide before the banquet was over. When they found out that she was missing and searched the whole city, she could sleep in that room. After staying for a while, they thought that she left the city early and left the city early, and that she was not careful here, and she would find a chance to go out again.
An Ruochen had planned very well, but there were maids walking around outside her door, so she couldn't go out for a while. After a while, the outside finally quieted down. An Ruochen looked around, then took her bag and walked towards the backyard.
An Ruochen had already scouted out every terrain in the house. Outside the firewood house in the backyard, a pile of wood was piled up against the wall. Outside the wall, there is a dwarf tree, which is a good place to jump over the wall to escape marriage and leave home.
An Ruochen was careful all the way, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, and arrived here smoothly. She climbed onto the pile of logs, raised her arms to the top of the wall, and kicked off the wall to climb up.
The burden dangling behind her made it difficult for her to exert force, which was extremely inconvenient. She simply untied it and threw it over the wall first. Then she used her hands and feet together, twisted left and right, exerted all her strength, and finally climbed up to the top of the wall.
As soon as she poked her head out from the wall, An Ruochen froze.
A mighty man was riding a big black horse, holding her small bag made of floral cloth in his hand. An Ruochen stared at her baggage, which was quite big for her to carry, but it was pitifully small in his hands.
An Ruochen raised his eyes, his eyes turned from the burden to the man's face, and met his eyes.
General Dragon.
Why is it him again
An Ruochen hurriedly looked around, there was no one else in the back street except him. Afraid of his yelling, An Ruochen hurriedly raised her index finger and put it next to her mouth as a silent gesture. Long Da looked at her indifferently, without expression or speaking.
An Ruochen choked, thinking about it, this man probably couldn't move other parts of his face except his eyebrows, and his tongue might also be stiff. But isn't he still at the banquet? Why did he come here in a blink of an eye
An Ruochen looked around again, but there was indeed no one else. She gritted her teeth and leaned out, ready to climb over the wall. Now is not the time to explore the dragon general, but the time to run for his life.
Time is running out, and there will be no deadline!
Just as he was about to step out with one leg, he suddenly heard someone yelling at the other end of the main street. It sounded like he was about to turn into the back street. An Ruochen quickly retracted her legs, and out of the corner of her eyes, she saw several people rushing in this direction, among them was her father in a fine attire.
An Ruochen squatted down and hid behind the wall. It took a long time before, and it was all in vain.
She heard someone shouting outside: "General, general stay."
Then came An Changfu's voice: "The general is busy with military affairs, so I don't want to delay if I have to do it first. This is a small gift that I have prepared, and I hope the general will accept it with a smile."
An Ruochen grinned, thinking that her father was really good at flattering. But she didn't hear General Long's answer, but his adjutant agreed, thanked him, and said that Mr. An was very kind, and he would return the gift someday. Both sides came and went, and finally broke up.
After staying until there was no sound from outside, An Ruochen hurriedly went up to look again. The back street was empty, there was no one there, and what was worse, her little floral bag was gone too.
An Ruochen was dumbfounded, that General Dragon robbed her of her baggage!
An Ruochen is actually a careful person. Since she planned to escape, she divided her property into three just in case. Make one copy of silver and copper plates to carry with you, and share two for the change of clothes and valuables. One copy was in the previous package and was entrusted to General Long, and the other was in this package and was "entrusted" to General Long.
The current situation is that she has nothing but the scraps of silver and copper on her body. How did this make her run away from home
An Ruochen clenched his fists to calm himself down. At this time, he heard someone's voice coming towards the woodshed, An Ruochen quickly jumped off the woodpile, and walked around pretending to be nonchalant. Along the way, seeing the servants returning to their respective positions, she knew that the departure of the distinguished guests made her lose the best chance to escape.
An Ruochen returned to her room, very angry. This dumb general with a stiff face and only raised eyebrows is really annoying, he eats well, why do he have to leave halfway? It's so rude, so bad.
An Ruochen sat down on the chair, what should she do now, she has to find a chance to go out of the house, and she has to get her baggage back. She calmed down and thought about it, and thought of a way.
On the second day, An Ruochen was wandering around the mansion, and "coincidentally" met the lady in charge who wanted to distribute some fruits to the courtyards, but the maids were short of manpower, so the lady told them to go a few more times. Seeing this, An Ruochen said, "It just so happens that I'm free and want to chat with someone, so I'll give it to my sisters."
She carried two baskets to deliver fruit to the second and fourth sisters' courtyards.
An Ruochen and his younger brothers and sisters are not too close, but their relationship is not bad either. It belongs to the kind where you can chat a few words if you have something to do, and say hello when you have nothing to do. An Ruochen first went to the fourth sister An Ruofang's place, sat down and chatted for a few words, seemingly unintentionally mentioned that General Long yesterday. An Ruofang's face turned pale, and she said that General Long looked very fierce, but yesterday at the banquet, he didn't say a word.
Seeing Simei's appearance, An Ruochen felt a little disappointed because he didn't think much about General Long. It seems that she can't be counted on.
An Ruochen went to the second sister An Ruoxi's courtyard again. This time, she found good news. An Ruoxi looked full of enthusiasm, and pulled An Ruochen to ask a lot about General Long.
Why ask her? It was precisely because An Ruochen prevaricated for leaving home by admiring General Long and leaving to see his true face, she was punished a few times for this. An Ruoxi thought that An Ruochen knew the dragon general quite well, so she asked her a lot of questions.
How could An Ruochen know about General Long's situation, but luckily An Ruoxi didn't know either, so An Ruochen made it up. She portrayed General Long as a man who is brave and fearless, and said that he is said to be a man of few words, but he is gentle and considerate to his family.
In the end, An Ruochen asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Speaking of which, younger sister, you are also of marriageable age. What does it mean that Dad arranged for you and fourth younger sister to sit beside General Long yesterday?"
The bold and aggressive An Ruoxi blushed, stomped her feet suddenly: "I'll ask daddy." After speaking, he actually ran out.
An Ruochen smiled, it's great to have such a second sister who is brave enough to pursue happiness.
That night, An Ruoxi came to An Ruochen, and she said that she had found out about her father, and that he really wanted to marry General Jielong. But it doesn't necessarily mean letting her marry, it mainly depends on who General Long can fall in love with.
An Ruoxi was not sure, because the fourth sister, An Ruofang, was a well-known beauty in the city. An Ruoxi knew that she was not as good-looking as her, so she was very afraid that men would be attractive, and that General Long would fall in love with the fourth sister.
"Sister, what do you think I should do?"
"Otherwise, think of a way to meet the general more times. Let him have the opportunity to know you more. If you meet more, it will naturally win your favor."
An Ruoxi nodded: "That's right. But General Long is not easy to invite. Last time, Dad entrusted many people to let General Long come to the mansion as a guest. It's only a few days later, is it okay to ask Dad to invite him again? Suitable?"
"Then wait a little longer." An Ruochen sighed suddenly, "It's a pity that I will get married soon, so I have no way to know the progress between you and General Long."
When An Ruoxi heard this, he frowned. She is a girl's family, things like Zhang Luo are embarrassing, and it is better to have a sister who is waiting to be married to talk about and plan together than to think about it. What's more, if she wanted to do something, it would be nice to have someone to accompany her as a cover.
Thinking of this, An Ruoxi became a little anxious: "Why don't you wait too long, in case there are other families who also fall in love with the general. I inquired, this Long family is a big family in the capital, not just the general himself The position is high and powerful, and the family is also rich in wealth. General Long is the eldest son. In the future, shouldn’t he inherit all the family property? If I marry in the past, I will definitely pull my sister out.”
An Ruochen responded with a smile: "Then sister, thank you in advance."
An Ruoxi blushed a little again, thinking that she had gone so far without saying a word. She pulled An Ruochen and talked about the business: "Sister, how about this, let me tell daddy, I will bring some food and the like, and go to the garrison to visit General Long, and say that I am going on behalf of daddy, to comfort Condolences to the hard work of the soldiers."
"It's a good idea. The general doesn't want to come, so you can go there." An Ruochen agreed.
"Then sister go with me."
Finally heard what she wanted to hear, but An Ruochen still pretended: "Is this appropriate? I'm about to marry, how can I show my face in the military camp."
An Ruoxi's face was serious: "Sister, what you said is true. Before, my sister ran out of the house to see the general halfway, why didn't she show her face? Now I ask you for a favor, but you are pushing back and forth. Could it be that you admire the general? Afraid that meeting him will make you more disturbed? You also know that you are going to get married, so don't think too much about it."
An Ruochen didn't like this younger sister's domineering, but she still smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's my fault. Shall I accompany you to the head office?"
An Ruoxi smiled triumphantly, satisfied.
Within two days, An Ruochen and An Ruoxi led their servants and brought a pile of food to the Long Family Army's camp and asked to see General Long.
But General Long didn't see them at all, saying that he was too busy with military affairs to be free. He only sent an adjutant to express his thanks, and said that military discipline is the most important thing, and he cannot accept these meals, so as not to spoil the generals and make it difficult for the generals to manage in the future.
An Ruoxi was a little anxious, she didn't want to make this trip in vain. Fortunately, the adjutant said again that the visitor is a visitor, since the second lady is here, he can lead her around for a tour. Of course An Ruoxi agreed, but at the same time she was a little proud because she had specifically named the second young lady and excluded An Ruochen.
An Ruochen didn't care about visiting military camps, she had prepared for her trip this time. She took all her money and silver with her, and she planned to find a way to escape after getting back her baggage. If she couldn't get it back, she would get away and hide in the small rented house first. After all, the wedding date is only a few days away, and she may not have the chance to go out again. If she doesn't run away now, when will she wait
An Ruochen smiled and watched An Ruoxi take his servants to visit. The guards served tea for An Ruochen and then left. An Ruochen was the only one left in the room.
This is a great opportunity.
An Ruochen went out of the house, looked left and right, it's great, no one is there! She hurried out, evaluating whether the risk of finding a bag would affect her escape. Just as I was thinking, I suddenly saw a flag planted in front of a tall house not far away, with the word "Dragon" written on it.
An Ruochen's heart moved, maybe that was General Long's room, she should go over and take a look, maybe her baggage was inside. If not, then she should let go of the burden and run away.
An Ruochen walked over. No one showed up along the way, and when she reached the house, she found that the door was unlocked, so she knocked on the door, but no one answered. An Ruochen was overjoyed, opened the door and walked in.
As soon as she entered, she gasped with joy, and her two bundles were placed on the table against the wall. An Ruochen hurried over, one on the left and one on the right, carrying the burden on his back.
It's over, and you can run away with oil.
An Ruochen couldn't help grinning, she turned around to run, but froze in place.
The tall, mighty and serious General Long was blocking the door, staring at her.
An Ruochen's heart stopped beating for half a beat, and she took a step back subconsciously. Then he reacted, and hurriedly said: "General Long is back, I'm here to pick up the burden, thank you General Long."
Long Da didn't speak, just walked forward, approaching An Ruochen a few steps.
An Ruochen tried her best to keep calm, raised her head and chest, not to show weakness.
An Ruochen followed General Long's gaze, blushed, and hurriedly turned the burden to his chest and hugged it tightly, covering his chest tightly. She planned to escape today, so she wrapped her chest again. This general is really rude, how can he look at a woman like this.
An Ruochen knew it was good to leave early, so she said again: "Thank you, General, my little girl will take my leave first."
Just when he was about to take a step, he suddenly heard Long Dao: "You sneaked into my house to steal things, can you leave if you say so?"
An Ruochen opened his mouth wide in shock. It turned out that he was not dumb, and his voice was quite pleasant, but none of these surprised her more than what he said. What is stealing
"These two burdens are mine."
"Who proves it?"
"I can explain everything inside." An Ruochen was confident.
"I can do it too." Long Da's rigid words blocked her. He actually... actually peeped at the girl's bundle, which contained her underwear.
An Ruochen blushed: "The clothes inside are all mine."
"That's easy to handle. You can ask Mr. An to recognize it. If it's all your clothes, then these two burdens are yours."
An Ruochen froze there, speechless. Let her father admit it, isn't this a dead end for her? An Ruochen bit her lip, weighing the two, escaping right now is more important than taking away the burden.
She turned around, put the burden back, gritted her teeth to suppress her sadness, and said in a low voice, "I'll return the burden to the general, is that all right?"
But Long Da said: "Stealing in the army should serve as hard labor to atone for the crime."
An Ruochen panicked and was at a loss, begging in a low voice: "General, I'm just a weak woman, please don't make things difficult for me, General."
Long Da turned a blind eye to her pitiful face, and said again: "The laborers are detained in the camp and are not allowed to return home. The girl made a big mistake, and I can't give a loan. If not, how can I manage tens of thousands of soldiers?" Will? I'm afraid Master An will have to postpone Miss An's wedding. "
An Ruochen's heart beat wildly. Everyone in Zhonglan City knew about her marriage, and it was no surprise that General Long knew about it, but he said that her marriage would have to be postponed, that is, she would have to wait until she had finished her labor before she could get married
An Ruochen rushed towards Long Da, pulled the corner of his clothes and said eagerly: "General, General, I was wrong. I wanted to steal the general's baggage. I really deserve death. I am willing to be punished. I I can do laundry, cooking, grinding ink, writing, mending clothes and cleaning the house. General, general, punish me to stay and work!"
She raised her head while talking, trying to see Long Da's expression clearly, but there was no expression on Long Da's face. An Ruochen couldn't see what was going on in his heart, she frowned, bit her lip, and wrinkled her face.
Then she clearly saw that the general raised one eyebrow arrogantly.
On that day, Miss An's family was detained by General Long.
Then buckled and buckled, accidentally, buckled for a lifetime!
