MTL - Let Me Pursue You-~ The second time, it seemed that many years had passed in the dream.
She heard someone lamenting that the world was unpredictable on the bridge, saying that back then, the Yuan family's father and son were brutally murdered by the sixth son of the emperor.
Some people quietly echoed, saying that's right, look at the rapid changes in the past six months. First, Emperor Huining was forced to abdicate and became an empty shell Supreme Emperor. Assistant ascension to the throne... Who would have expected such an ironic thing?
Speaking of this, there seemed to be a chariot approaching, and the two fell silent.
Yuan Cixian also woke up, opened his eyes and thought about it, and couldn't help being startled.
How come this dream is not just a dream.
She was born in Chang'an, the capital of the country. When she was nine years old, she moved to Yaozhou with her father who was awarded the title of "King of Southern Dian". Return to the southwest.
Since she stayed away from the court all year round, she knew very little about those crooked political affairs, so how could she dream of these out of thin air? What was even more shocking was that she inquired about it with her father, and found out that the current sage really had a four-year-old son, who happened to be thirteen.
Under careful thought, Yuan Cixian shuddered.
At that time, she couldn't hold back anymore, and after a few days, she learned from a letter from Liu Jing's elder brother that he seemed to be getting quite close to the six sons of the imperial court recently. Remembering that two years later in the dream, it was this person who killed her elder brother, she couldn't sit still, packed her bags and went to Chang'an, intending to find out.
Right now, she is in a carriage rumbling north. After driving for two months, it is already very close to the country.
…
Early in the morning, Yuan Cixian woke up in a jolt, feeling depressed.
This third dream was nothing new, it was probably a repetition of the first two, the only gain was that this time she was careful and discerned one or two messages from people, roughly knowing where the bridge was .
Inside the car, the servant girl Shi Cui saw that she was tired and her temples were wet, so she quickly took a plain silk sweat towel to wipe it off for her, and said, "Little lady, is she sick?"
She regained her senses, shook her head, picked up a bronze mirror to look at her face, and pressed her cheeks with her palm: "It's okay, I just dreamed that someone praised my beauty." After saying that, she blinked twice, "What do you mean? Oh, Stunning."
Shi Cui looked at her with a smile. The appearance of the little lady should be impeccable. The icy skin and jade skin can be broken by blowing bombs, the black eyebrows are like distant mountains, and the pretty nose is like Qiong Yao. What is especially amazing is a pair of eyes shaped like peach petals.
She added: "Then this man has a vision."
Yuan Cixian nodded, deeply convinced, and asked outside the curtain of the car: "Picking branches, how long will it take to reach Chang'an?"
"Little lady, it will be almost noon."
She thought for a while and ordered: "Changing to Yanxingmen in the east of the city, let's go to Luqiao to have a look."
The carriage turned a corner, and after half an hour, it detoured to Lu Bridge.
This bridge is dozens of miles away from Yanxingmen, and it can be regarded as the key link between the west and the east. It has always been a place where people in the city and tourists from the east bid farewell.
In midsummer and May, the sun is shining brightly. The surface of the Lushui River is shimmering like fine cracks. The green willows on both sides of the river are covered with shade, and farther away are dozens of locust trees that are about to end their flowering period.
Picking up the carriage, he parked the carriage beside the bridge, went down first, lifted the curtain and said inwardly, "Mr. Lang, the bridge is here." Seeing Yuan Cixian stepping out neatly after speaking, his heart skipped a beat.
She has served the little lady for many years, but she is used to her gorgeous appearance, but this time she went to Chang'an, in order to save money, the little lady dressed up as a man all the way, now she is wearing a moon white round neck gown and blue and black soft horns Futou, wearing black leather boots, he looks like a handsome gentleman. This gesture almost hooked her soul away.
Yuan Cixian paused for a moment, then raised her feet and walked towards the bridge.
The first time she had that strange dream was on the way to Beijing last year when she was entrusted with the title. After arriving in Chang'an, she became curious and visited several nearby stone arch bridges, including Lu Bridge, but she was not sure where they were. Now I can be sure.
The stone arch bridge built with blue bricks is majestic and simple, and the length is endless.
Yuan Cixian stood on the bridge for a while, looked around carefully, and suddenly asked the maidservant behind her: "Shicui, tell me, if a criminal wants to escape in the city, is it wise to choose this bridge?"
"Luqiao leads to Luoyang, the eastern capital. The maid thought that it would be a good idea to get involved in the bustling area. Why did you say that?"
Her index finger, as slender as a scallion root, tapped on the bridge railing a few times. Having said that, fleeing to this bridge and being shot to death by random arrows is too useless, and thinking about it is very disrespectful.
She sighed and didn't answer but smiled: "I'm hungry, let's go to the city."
"Picking branches and leading the horses to feed the horses before returning, Mr. Lang might as well wait at Luting."
Yuan Cixian nodded.
Luting is a post station located on this bridge. As it approached noon, there was an endless stream of people coming and going on the bridge, but this Zhuwa pavilion was isolated from the bustle and was very shady.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yuan Cixian sat down on the beauties beside the curb, there was a rush of footsteps coming from both ends of the pavilion.
A group of men dressed as servants approached menacingly, she immediately got up on guard, and then heard a sweet female voice: "Don't be rude, this is my savior!"
The servants who were in an outflanking posture spread out a little. A girl in a goose-yellow blouse raised her skirt and rushed over, she was the speaker.
Yuan Cixian glanced at her strangely: "Did the young lady deny the wrong person?"
She had just arrived in Chang'an, and the soles of her shoes hadn't been dirty yet, so she had rescued no one.
This girl in yellow shirt has black hair combed into the shape of a servant girl. She seems to be underage, and she is also a bit shorter than Yuan Cixian, but her facial features are very delicate. When she is talking, a pair of bright deer eyes look forward.
She seemed to be stunned by Yuan Cixian, and after returning to her senses, she hurriedly answered: "Don't you remember your benefactor? In Luqiao last year, early spring, benefactor saved the slave's life, and the slave also declared himself a family." Regardless of Yuan Ci Did Xian have an impression? She took a few steps forward, with a shy look in her eyes, "I have been looking for your benefactor for a whole year, and I only hope to promise you with your body. If your benefactor has no wife, I am willing to repay the love of the day with this." kindness!"
Seeing her approaching recklessly, Shi Cui subconsciously lifted the unsheathed barrier knife and placed it between her and Yuan Cixian. The surrounding servants were startled, and they also waved their fists in defense.
It's all right, and the swords are in full swing when they look around.
Yuan Cixian was really dazed when she heard her say "benefactor", and only after looking at her face carefully did she vaguely remember that an accident did happen when she visited this Luqiao last year.
At that time, the bridge was crowded with people, and a man who was not riding his horse properly rushed into the crowd with his horse and man in a panic. After she dodged the horse's hooves, she saw that the two ladies standing side by side were pushed back again and again, and were about to fall back over the bridge railing, so she stretched out her hands to grab them in desperation. Although they could not be rescued together, they managed to drag one of them, and the one who saved from falling into the water seemed to be the girl in front of her.
But she really couldn't remember his last name. Right now, I can only guess based on what the other party said, maybe she was so focused on hiding her merits and fame that day, she left the scene in a hurry, but she caused a misunderstanding because of a man's attire, and seduced her daughter's love.
Yuan Cixian considered it for a while.
Looking at this little lady's attire, she guesses that she is either rich or expensive. In the future, in Chang'an City, she may still have contacts. It is better to clarify this matter as soon as possible. What's more, she wears men's clothing to avoid unnecessary troubles during a long journey, and now that she has arrived in a stable capital, there is no point in hiding it.
She made a gesture to signal Shi Cui to put down the barrier knife, and was about to resume her original voice to explain to the other party, but her eyes flashed, and she saw another person coming towards her.
He was a man in a dark crimson official robe. He looked like he was in his early twenties, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a slender figure. , It makes people feel that the visitor is not good.
This wave after wave, is it endless?
When the servants on all sides saw the person coming, they hurriedly opened up a hole. The **** the side also turned her head back, stepped forward with a slight surprise and smiled and said, "I just sent someone to invite brother, I didn't expect brother to come so fast." After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and glanced at Yuan Cixian, "this This person is the life-saving benefactor I mentioned to A Niang, who is my brother's future sister-in-law."
This self-talk really made Yuan Cixian want to cover his face and hold his forehead. But before he could move, he felt the gaze of the man on the opposite side wandering over her body, first falling on her waist, and then looking up at the part of her neck that was exposed outside, and then, his pupils shrank suddenly.
If there was any substance in this gaze, she suddenly felt that the skin being stared at was hot and itchy.
But the man quickly dismissed the scrutiny, turned his head and gouged out his younger sister, and ordered in all directions: "Everyone back down, send the little lady back to the house."
The girl refused to leave, and said anxiously: "Brother! I have already promised my benefactor, how can I go back on my promise? You and A Niang will not be able to keep me when the girl is married! Besides, what's wrong with benefactor? Look at him, but as I said before, he looks dignified and personable?"
Because of the pair of phoenix eyes, the man's face is even more gloomy when he heard this.
The girl seemed a little afraid of him now, she shrank her head.
That's right, listening to this heartless and ill-advised rhetoric, Yuan Cixian helped to sweat it out.
She opened her mouth to finish the explanation she hadn't been able to utter before, so as to dismiss the siblings, but unexpectedly, the man took the lead. Seeing his helpless expression, she let out a "huh" in a neutral tone: "It's true." A dignified and personable person..."
He paused at this point, staring at Yuan Cixian's face and said: "Little lady."
