Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 39

Silent night.

The small Zhangqiu County was closed early, and there were no pedestrians on the street.

In the west wing of the county yamen's backyard, a few oil candles were still lit. The daughter of the county magistrate Zhang Yichen was sitting at the table, resting her chin in one hand and playing with a comb in the other.Her eyes were in a trance, but she didn't know where her mind was going.

"Little lady, go to bed early. It's getting late. It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. If you don't sleep, it will be midnight." The maid who was close to her, Lin Niang, was already sleepy. It can't be done, but the little lady just sits there and refuses to sleep.

She rubbed her eyes, yawned, picked up a big burqa from the bed and put it on the little lady, and complained in a low voice, "That Qin Qiong is really stupid, the little lady gave him all the personal things Why don’t you understand the little lady’s intentions at all? I’ve also accepted the things, but there’s still no news from me until now.”

"Little lady, let me tell you, this Qin Qiong is not as smart as that Luo Wulai. You see, as soon as he came to the city, he asked someone to say hello to the little lady, and even sent a pair of lovely white rabbits. , not like that Qin Er, but really enough."

"You are not allowed to talk about Qin Erlang Er." Zhang Runniang raised her hand and twisted it lightly on Hongxian's arm. Ever since she met the blue-faced ghost at the foot of Changbai Mountain that day, Zhang Runniang's mind has been full of images of that majestic young soldier. The figure, he is like a hero of the world, when she is in the most critical moment, suddenly riding a tall handsome horse, holding a golden mace, descending from the sky like a god of war, his riding posture is so chic, the vicious thief is in front of him His men couldn't even fight a round.

"Although Luo Wu is clever and sensible, he is still a young man. He is not as mighty and unrestrained as Qin Erlang." Zhang Runniang's voice carried the taste of a young girl Huaichun, "I have never seen such a brave man. In fact, I I always wanted to thank him face to face for saving my life, but I didn't think I would never have the chance to meet him again that day."

After a long time, she sighed, and said leisurely, "You will never understand. When you meet someone, all you think about is his feeling. It's like, there is no other man in this world who can Take his place in your heart."

"Red thread, I think I've been poisoned, I've been poisoned by lovesickness, there's no way I can save it."

"The poison of lovesickness? I also think that you have lovesickness. Your soul was all taken away by that Qin Er. I have inquired about it. This Qin Er's family is not bad, and the Qin family in Licheng can be regarded as Qi." The hundred-year-old family in the county, the officials for generations, although they are not down now, but Qin Qiong can be regarded as a good-looking talent, and sooner or later he will be able to make a bright future, and our Zhang family is a good match."

"Especially, I heard that Qin Er is 22 this year, but he hasn't gotten married yet, and he hasn't heard of an engagement. How about it? Does it suit your heart, little lady?"

"Trick me again and I'll tear your mouth apart." Although Runniang made a gesture to pull the red line, her eyes lit up, and the brows and eyes were full of joy, and she couldn't help it.

"Qin Erlang is indeed a good match, whether it is appearance, ability, or family background, everything is good, but I am afraid that she may not like me." Zhang Runniang is a little worried about gain and loss.

Male colleges should be married, female colleges should be married, and Run Niang's age has indeed reached the age of marriage.Because she was smart since she was a child, she has always been favored by Zhang Yichen, so she is different from the ladies in other families. For her own lifelong affairs, she insists on choosing a good son-in-law.

There were also children of prominent families and officials from many places who wanted to come to propose marriage, but they couldn't pass the test of Runniang.When she chooses a son-in-law, the most important thing for her is character and ability, while family background and appearance come second.

"Why can't you be worthy? Our family, Alang, is a seventh-rank county magistrate. He was born as a Jinshi. The Zhang family is a well-known county family for generations. Little lady, your mother is a daughter of the Liu family in Nanyang. It is more than enough to match. Besides. , you are both talented and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, if you are taken, it will be the blessing of his Qin family for several generations."

Run Niang looked at the red thread.

"I see that you seem to be in a particularly good mood today. It seems that you are like this after calling to see Luo Wu. What's the matter, you have something to do with him?"

"What's the matter? What's the matter between me and him? We're innocent." Hong Xian quickly defended.

"Oh, is that so? Then why did your amulet disappear when you came back? Do you dare to say that you didn't give it to Luo Wulang?"

"Hey, little lady, why do you have to say everything, I hate it. I just thank Xia Luo Wu for saving my life, so I gave him something. I hope he will not encounter any more thieves on the way to Qi County this time. .”

"You, you are still stubborn. If you like it, you like it. If you like it, it is not a shameful thing. I think Luo Wulang is not bad. Although he is still young, his heart seems to be very mature, and he is also mature in dealing with things. It’s not bad, but the conditions at home are a bit poor. If you like him, I’ll match you up. You’ve been with me since childhood. I’ve always regarded you as a sister. The family has never registered you as a government slave. You are still a good citizen. There is no problem in marrying Luo Wu."

When it came to his own affairs, Hongxian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Although it was said that no one regarded her as a slave in the Zhang family, and she was indeed not a slave, but she knew in her heart that she was a slave of the Zhang family.As a slave, there is actually no freedom of marriage. When the age is reached, the head of the family will choose a similar slave to marry them. In this way, if they have another child, they will become a slave again, which is also an increase in property value.

Or maybe, a personal maid like her who is loved by the little lady will marry with the little lady in the future, and when she gets married to her husband's family over there, she may become the maid of the young lady's husband and serve her husband together with the young lady.

"Little lady, I think that although Luo Wu is very kind to me and talks sweetly to me, it seems that he doesn't like me at all in his heart. His kindness to me is just a superficial politeness." Red Line said.

"You little girl, you know what is good on the inside and on the outside."

"It's true, Luo Wu didn't look right at me, but his elder brother stared at me like a wolf, and I hate that guy. But Luo Wu was very gentle and polite to me, and sweet-talking, But he just doesn't have that kind of liking in his eyes, he must despise me as a girl." Hongxian said a little disappointed.

Although Qin Qiong is very heroic, Hongxian has never expected anything extravagantly, she is more realistic, Qin Qiong doesn't think about it, but Luo Wu is also pretty good.

But what made her feel disappointed was that Luo Wu was really good, but she could feel that Luo Wu didn't like her.

He doesn't hate her, but he doesn't like her. This is an intuition.

"He dares, why should he look down on our red line? When he comes back from Qi County, I will ask him to settle the score."

"Little lady, forget it, a twisted melon is not sweet." She had nothing to say, and turned around to make the bed for Run Niang, "It's almost three o'clock, little lady, go to sleep. It's okay, the three-legged toad is okay." It's easy to find, it's hard to find a man with two legs, Luo Wu is not the only man in this world, I will definitely find someone better than him after the red line, even if it's not as good as Qin Erlang, whom the little lady likes, I will definitely give Luo Wulang strength to him."
