MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 2
Liu Yuru was awakened by the sound of roosters.
When she opened her eyes, it was morning, the sun had just come out, and the light fell softly in the room, the maid Yinhong came back with the impatiens that had just been picked from the yard, inserted it into the vase, She smiled and looked at Liu Yuru and said, "Miss woke up?"
Liu Yuru breathed lightly, without answering, her mind was full of those desperate and painful eyes, Yinhong frowned, walked in front of Liu Yuru, and couldn't help saying: "Miss is a nightmare. Living?"
Yin Hong's words made Liu Yuru slowly recover. When she reacted, she patted her forehead and sighed, "It was a nightmare."
It's not just a nightmare, it's absurd.
She not only dreamed of Gu Jiusi, who had never known her, but also dreamed of King Liang's rebellion and chaos in the world.
Everyone knows that King Liang is a loyal and different surnamed king in the southwest. King Liang holds a heavy army and has rescued the emperor from danger several times. to appease people's speculation. If he was going to oppose, he would probably already oppose it, still waiting for now?
Although the Jiedushi of Youzhou doesn't know the exact name, he knows that his surname is Zhao, not the Fan Xuan in her dream.
Gu Jiusi and Wang Rong…
The two of them have always been friends. Although I haven't heard much about Wang Rong and Gu Jiusi's contacts, they must have a good relationship. Why would he break Wang Rong's leg?
After thinking about it, Liu Yuru felt ridiculous, she was actually frightened by such a dream.
Why dream of Gu Jiusi?
She couldn't help but think that she was too strange.
She and Gu Jiusi can't fight each other at all. Gu Jiusi is the heir of the most powerful and powerful family in Yangzhou City, and she is just a small cloth merchant's family who is not favored Daughter. The reason why I know Gu Jiusi is because this young master is always making trouble in Yangzhou city every day, and he hears it everywhere he goes.
Today I heard that he spent a lot of money in Chunfenglou, the oiran lady smiled, and tomorrow I heard that he lost all night in a casino gambling tens of thousands of taels of silver. Occasionally, when she goes to the market, she will meet Gu Jiusi. This young man is very conspicuous. He is often dressed in white, with a folding fan and a bird cage in his hand. He has a beautiful face with a happy smile, and the corners of his eyes and brows are full of pride. Arrogant contempt.
People are so good-looking and do things so arrogantly, it's hard not to recognize them.
She didn't know if Gu Jiusi knew her or not. She thought that she might know her. After all, she was quite famous in Yangzhou City, but her reputation was not something to celebrate, for no other reason. Her reputation is: notoriously tough.
Her family is in Yangzhou, and she barely ranks among the wealthy merchants, making a living from silk fabrics. Her father, Liu Xuan, was romantic by nature, and her mother, Su Wan, was married by her parents' matchmaker. Therefore, although she was the main family, she was not favored. In addition, her health was not good. After so many years, she gave birth to a daughter, Liu Yuru. Instead, she was a concubine. Zhang Yueer gave birth to two boys and one girl.
, so the whole Yangzhou city knew that Liu Xuan favored his concubine for destroying his wife, and was very sympathetic to Su Wan and Liu Yuru.
Living in such an environment, Liu Yuru learned to abide by the rules at all times, understand current affairs, know how to advance and retreat, see everyone has a third of popularity, do not do anything beyond the rules, and become a standard The lady of the family, find a proper person, get married in a decent manner, and live a peaceful and peaceful life. This is her life plan.
She is a very goal-oriented and executive person. In order to live a good life, she made a decision very early. She wants to marry the eldest son of the Ye family, Ye Shian.
The Ye family is different from these merchants. They are from a noble family. Earlier, the Ye family lived opposite the Liu family. Liu Yuru is close to Ye Yun, the eldest lady of the Ye family, and often visits the Ye family. She has seen early on that the Ye family is upright and the family is not a poor family, and the old lady also likes her, and Ye Shian is the son In the early years before she went to Egret Academy, she had met several times. She was still young and didn't see her appearance very much, but she was decent-looking. Although she didn't like to talk much, she was very down-to-earth. Even the one with the best homework in Tongsheng might be able to make a name for himself in the future. Ye Shi'an is a good person, and the Ye family is also good. If she gets married, she can almost meet her goal of "safe and stable" in her life.
In order to marry Ye Shi'an, she often went to Ye's house to find Ye Yun, and then accompanied Ye Yun to take care of Mrs. Ye, coaxing Mrs. Ye to be happy, this kind of care lasted seven or eight years , Mrs. Ye also fell in love with her. Instead of letting his grandson marry a woman who doesn't know his roots, it is better to marry a well-informed and caring Liu Yuru.
So when she had her wedding ceremony the day before yesterday, Mrs. Ye came to be her guest in person, and said to her in private, "In a while, I will come to talk to your parents alone."
Having these words, she understood what Mrs. Ye meant and kept waiting.
Wait until today, she washed her face with water to wake herself up from the nightmare, and heard Yin Hong happily say: "Miss, old lady Ye is here!"
Hearing this, Liu Yuru's heart jumped quickly.
She wanted to go to the front hall to listen to what Mrs. Ye said, but her junior, without being summoned, was always inappropriate. After waiting for a long time, someone finally came over and asked Liu Yuru went to the front hall. Liu Yuru had finished grooming. She took a deep breath and followed the maid to the front hall.
Three people sat in the hall, Mrs. Ye sat on the chair on the left hand side, Liu Xuan sat on the right hand side, and Zhang Yueer was sitting next to Liu Xuan with a smile. On the chair, talking to Mrs. Ye.
Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, then quickly lowered her head to hide the trace of displeasure.
Old Mrs. Ye saw her coming in, and said happily, "Come on, Yuru, sit down and talk."
Liu Yuru raised her head and smiled at Mrs. Ye, but she respectfully bowed first, and then came to Mrs. Ye's side and sat down after receiving Liu Xuan's promise. Old Madam Ye held her hand and said with a smile, "Yuru, she is the most well-behaved and polite girl I have ever seen. I used to think that the Liu family's tutoring was so good, how could they teach such a good girl? , If this girl is my granddaughter, that would be great."
"Where is the old lady," Liu Xuan poured tea for Mrs. Ye and said with a smile, "Yu Ru is still by your side, and you teach well. , let us Yuru also get some ink fragrance."
After the two sides complimented each other for a while, Liu Xuancai finally told Liu Yuru the business and coughed lightly: "Yuru, the old lady came to the door today to discuss your marriage with us. She hopes that you and the eldest son of the Ye family will have a good relationship with Qin Jin, so we will ask you to come over and ask, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Liu Yuru suppressed her impulse and said gently, "Yuru listens to her parents."
Everyone laughed, Liu Xuan said: "Then it's settled. But the eldest son seems to be participating in the township examination now. I don't know when I will get a marriage proposal?"
Speaking, Liu Xuan seemed to be a little worried: "I heard that the eldest son of the Gu family is also old, his mother is showing him everywhere, and he just came to the door of the Liu family a while ago. "Old lady," Liu Xuan turned his head and said with Mrs. Ye, "you have to hurry up."
Everyone here understands what Liu Xuan means. Gu Jiusi is a famous overlord in Yangzhou, but his family is in a big situation. Naturally, his parents want him to marry the best girl in Yangzhou. It's just that every good girl in Yangzhou doesn't look down on him. I'm afraid that he will retreat and ask for Liu Yuru. The girl is top-notch and has an average family background. At that time, she will force people to rely on her family background, but she will not marry. Gotta get married too.
It's just that since Gu Jiusi went to Liu's house, he should not come to Liu's house. After all, Liu Yusi's background is better than Liu Yuru's. Now that Liu Xuan said it, it was just to give Liu Yuru some face.
When Liu Yuru heard "Liu's family", she subconsciously looked up and felt a little uneasy. Liu Yusi is her handkerchief and has a deep friendship with her. Gu Jiusi actually went to her house?
She lowered her eyes and pondered that she would have to see Liu Yusi in a while.
And Mrs. Ye didn't think much after listening to Liu Xuan's words, just said: "Don't worry, when the township test is over, I will immediately ask my son to bring Shi'an to the house to propose marriage."
"Then why don't you let Master Ye come to propose marriage first?" Zhang Yue'er said at the right time, "This is also the matter of the elders. In order to avoid the recurrence of accidents in the future.”
"I'm afraid it won't work," Mrs. Ye shook her head. "A friend of my son was appointed as the Jiedu envoy of Youzhou. He rushed to celebrate, but he hasn't returned yet."
Hearing "Youzhou Jiedushi", Liu Yuru subconsciously said: "But the surname is Fan?"
Everyone looked at her, Liu Yuru was stunned, she didn't understand why she suddenly asked this sentence.
Perhaps it was the dream in the morning that kept her in a trance, but the words had already been asked, and it was not a big deal. She deliberately softened her voice and pretended to be ignorant: "The new Youzhou Jiedu Your lord, but your surname is Fan Mingxuan?"
"How do you know?" The old lady Ye was a little surprised, Liu Yuru was shocked, as if she had been hit in the head, but she didn't show it, just said, "I heard from a friend that I I still don’t believe it, how can a position like Jiedushi be changed?”
"That's right," Old Madam Ye laughed, "You're right, but this Fan Xuan has served in Youzhou for thirteen years and has a solid foundation. He recommended him before he died, and this made him the Jiedushi."
Hearing this, Liu Xuan nodded and sighed: "The fate of life..."
The marriage was almost finished, Mrs. Ye chatted for a while, then got up and left.
After Mrs. Ye left, Liu Yuru returned to the room and called Yinhong down, and the whole person became anxious.
She came to the desk and began to write desperately the message in the dream.
"Youzhou Jiedushi, Fan Xuan."
"Gu Jiusi, Wang Rong"
The King of Liang
…
She wrote down everything in the dream, and when she looked at the words above, Gu Jiusi's eyes appeared in her mind.
"Save me..."
She slowly closed her eyes.
Fan Xuan...is it a coincidence or a foreknowledge?
Perhaps a coincidence?
Liu Yuru tried her best to convince herself that maybe she had heard the news in the past, but just forgot...
She found countless reasons. However, after a long time, she couldn't help it, stood up and said, "Go and tell my concubine Tongyue, I'm going to Liu's house and ask her to agree."
