Chapter 68
There was no light in the room, so it should still be daytime.Hui Lan covered her face with her hands, lay on the bed with half-closed eyes and pretended to be dead.The amount of information is too large, and Cymbidium's old CPU has burned out.

The eldest lady saved Hui Lan's face and asked the government doctor to examine her.She was relieved when the government doctor said that she was overly frightened and lost consciousness for a while, and there was no serious problem.He told the government doctor to write a prescription and told him not to talk nonsense, so he was sent out.The government doctor is a member of the Gu family's own family, and the eldest lady just explained something more because of the big family affairs today.

Then the eldest lady dismissed the maids and mothers in the room, and then she poured a cup of hot water and sat down by the bed.

"Okay, we are the only ones left in the room, sit up and drink a glass of water." The aunt said softly.

After a while, Hui Lan slowly lowered her arm, and couldn't help but inhale the pain when she touched her fingers.It revealed a face with a red palm print on each side.

It was rare that Hui Lan didn't cry or dawdle, and sat up on her own without the help of the eldest lady, being careful not to touch her feet.She lowered her head, silently took the cup from the eldest lady's hand, raised her neck and drank it all down.She had emptied her stomach before passing out, then sweated profusely, and her mouth was parched.

The eldest lady had sharp eyes and ears, so she didn't need to speak, she just brought the kettle over to refill it for her.Hui Lan drank three or four cups before she gasped and said she would stop drinking. The eldest lady put the kettle and cups on the high table beside the bed.Then he sat upright, staring at Hui Lan, waiting for her to speak.

Hui Lan lowered her head and remained silent for a while.The source of life was swallowed, and all the consciousness finally came back.She knew that the eldest lady was waiting for her to explain, but she didn't know how to say it.What can she say to an aristocratic girl in a feudal society, democracy, freedom, women's rights?But pull it down, the eldest lady will probably think that she has been bewitched by an evil spirit, and call a Taoist monk to recite scriptures and pour amulet water on her.

"What time is it?" Hui Lan asked, her voice a little hoarse.

"It's almost the end of the day. The family is very busy. Grandmother, mother, and the others should be waking up for a lunch break. The second aunt has worked hard today, so she must not have time for a lunch break. She is still preparing for the dinner. All the guests at home have left. There are no classes, so I should be in my own room." The eldest lady was very patient, not only answered her questions, but also expanded the conversation.

Hui Lan sighed secretly, after finishing all the procedures of the Jiji ceremony, there was no need for noon, the guests should just have a lunch.There will be another dinner party, probably knowing that the eldest lady has obtained the imperial decree to marry and came to say hello to her relationship.

Now Huilan is left with only frustration and powerlessness. She has been here for three years, and she has mostly lived in isolation.Fascinated by some more enlightened policies and customs than those in the novels on TV, I did not recognize the reality.She really thought that she just changed her life in another era, and the price she had to pay was only some material conveniences.At most, there is no electricity, no internet, no flush toilet, no aunt's towel, no advanced medical technology and so on.

Today she was finally awakened by the imperial decree. It turned out that what she lost the most was human rights and democracy.Even though the haze brought by the Wang family made her think about the issue of being implicated, but it was too far away from her after all, so she let it go after thinking about it.But today, she really felt the pain of the skin, and the personal experience is always the most profound.

However, there is basically nothing she can do.Even if she is a prophetic and civilized person who thinks she is superior to others, she is actually just a social ant.Huilan has always lived soberly, even the corruption of wearing gold and silver and calling her servants only temporarily lost her.At this moment, she was completely awake.

"The matter on my side didn't alarm the elders, did it?" Hui Lan finally raised her head to look at the eldest lady, asking anxiously.She actually wanted to ask if she passed out and went out to gossip.The Gu family is overjoyed today, but the Gu family is not without enemies.The Gu family is her relatives, and she doesn't want to deceive her relatives.

The eldest lady looked calm, looked at her for a while, and said, "Don't worry, your yard is closed, and none of the servants went out. Because Cuiwei heard crying outside your yard half an hour ago and went back to report me, I am worried. Come quietly and have a look."

Hui Lan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she was very lucky.

Then Hui Lan pursed her lips, grimaced and fell silent. Should she be happy that only the eldest lady knew about this, or should she worry that the eldest lady is the worst person in the whole family except the old lady?

Hui Lan's heart turned a thousand times, and the eldest lady sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.The big lady is very suitable for playing psychological warfare with people, and responds to all changes with the same, and the Mount Tai collapses in front of her without changing her face.Hui Lan smiled wryly while having fun.

In the end, Hui Lan gave up struggling.Pretending to be smart in front of smart people is death, and lying in front of relatives is even worse, so she confessed.

"Today's second order, does it mean to let my sister be the princess?" Hui Lan leaned back against the bed frame to make herself comfortable, and then looked at the eldest lady and said softly.

The eldest lady looked at the half-empty bed and didn't look up. Finally, she sighed softly, took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, sitting side by side with Hui Lan.After a while, he said, "That's just a verbal order, not a formal marriage proposal. But the title has already been decided, so what Ah Hui said is correct."

Unable to hear the emotion of the eldest lady, Hui Lan turned her head to look at her, "Sister, have you seen him, are you happy, are you looking forward to it?"

The eldest lady smiled, "I have met Your Highness quite a few times, and I have spoken to you before. But, what does this have to do with whether you are happy or looking forward to it?"

Hui Lan opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, and the people who heard these words felt a little blocked.

The eldest lady paused and continued, "Girls from Daqin reach the age of fifteen to show they are grown-up, and then they can agree to marriage and engagement, and they will be married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. No matter whether it is the father or the grandmother, they have all said to wait Now that I'm an adult, I will carefully choose a lover for me. No matter who it is, as long as I don't like it, I will never agree." With a smile on her lips, she looked at the bed net, her eyes were a little lax.

Hui Lan frowned slightly, yes, no matter how outstanding and beautiful the eldest lady is, and no matter how many people like her, according to the rules, she has to pass the rites before she can be mentioned.A family of daughters has hundreds of requests. If there is no second order today, they can meet each other. The most important thing for the Gu family in the next year or two is to choose a good son-in-law for the eldest lady to marry her.Not only the elders, but also their younger siblings will help the eldest lady to pick and choose from thousands of choices, pick and choose one who is unparalleled in the world.

It's a pity that all kinds of pampering and proud family background are not worth a piece of imperial decree.Hui Lan was so distressed that she gritted her teeth and cut the dog emperor into pieces.Looking at the peaceful old lady, Hui Lan didn't care about the pain in her fingertips, she held the old lady's hand tightly to give her some warmth.

The eldest lady's hand was half-clasped, it was as cold as ice, and Hui Lan felt the pain with satisfaction.Such a proud daughter of heaven, still can't decide her own life, she must be very sad.Hui Lan didn't speak, just accompanied her silently.

The eldest lady seemed to have regained her senses from her contemplation, and asked Huilan pretending to be relaxed, "So Ah Hui, was she fainted by this incident? If it gets out, Saburo and the others will laugh to death!"

Hui Lan smiled wryly. Her incompetent rage before was indeed caused by the unanticipated and uncontrollable fear in her heart.In his impoverished previous life, he could commit suicide if he was really forced into a desperate situation, and if he made a video, it would make life difficult for his opponent.But here, even if she is cornered, can she die?I'm sorry, no, you're not finished if you die, you have to die with a household registration book, what the hell! ! !
"Maybe it's because I'm young and knowledgeable. I always feel that we are all free and can decide our own life and destiny. As a result..." Hui Lan told the truth, no matter how willful and arrogant you are, if you run into the king's fate, you will have nothing to do. The food is misfired.Hehe, what a pitiful truth this is.

The eldest lady looked at Hui Lan in surprise, not knowing what to say.After a while, the eldest lady whispered, "It is true that power can determine other people's lives and fates, but I deeply hate this kind of injustice. Do not do to others what you do not want done to you."

Hui Lan froze for a moment, then couldn't laugh or cry.She was wronged, she really didn't encourage the eldest lady to suppress her husband and become Wu Zetian after her father-in-law was killed in the future!She agreed with what the eldest lady said, and went over to clarify herself in a low voice, "My sister misunderstood, I was thinking, when will there be no such autocratic system, no one can control others."

The eldest lady opened her eyes wide and her red lips parted slightly, obviously shocked by Hui Lan's extraordinary remarks.Hui Lan smiled innocently, shrank her neck and waited for the eldest lady to come back to her senses and pronounce the sentence.
