Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 116

Li Tian's indifference made Princess Jiang's heart feel uneasy. She just wanted to stand up and leave, but just as she was about to stand up, she felt that it was inappropriate. She straightened her upper body and looked around hesitantly. Madam Gao stood up first. Saying goodbye: "It's a tiring thing to reach the Jiji ceremony. I still have some urgent matters in my house, so I'll leave first." Li Tian quietly bent her knees at Mrs. Yuan. There, she even forgot to see off the guests. Grandma Xu hurried forward and was about to send Madam Yuan out respectfully and politely. Madam Yuan sighed softly and got up at the same time as Madam Huang to leave. Sitting blankly, he pulled her calmly and smiled, "Isn't your house busy too?"

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Cui stood up in a panic, and beckoned to Jiang Shan: "Let's go." Jiang Shan hesitated for a while, looked at the silent and scary Li Tian, ​​and then turned to look at Yu Yao Fang and Lin Ke turned their heads to Mrs. Cui and said, "Madam, go back first, I will go back after talking with Sister Tian."

"You child!" Mrs. Cui was in a hurry, and she was about to step forward to pull Jiang Shan. Mrs. Yuan pulled her over and said, "Let the sisters play together for a while, Ah Shan, don't play too late, let you Auntie is concerned." After speaking, she pulled Mrs. Cui and walked outside.

Princess Jiang also hurriedly stood up and said goodbye. Lin Ke naturally refused to follow and went back. Second Grandma Xu was about to say goodbye. Princess Jiang waved her hand and said, "You help pack up and go back. I'm in the house." Second Mistress promised, pulled Second Mistress Wang, and let all the wives go out to the second gate together. Princess Liujun also said goodbye to Li Tian with a smile, Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qian also got up, and Ye Twelve Niang looked at everyone hesitating Undecided, I don't know whether to stay or go back with my aunt, Yu Yaofang pushed her and said: "You go back first, sister Tian is fine, we will make an appointment to talk in a few days." Ye Twelve Niang relieved He took a deep breath, moved to Li Tian's side, and said cautiously: "Tian Tian, ​​I'm going back first, that, let's talk later."

Not long after, the guests in the West Courtyard of Duke Yong's Mansion left completely.

Li Tian changed his dress, sat quietly on the kang in the upper room of Qingtong courtyard, sipping a cup of tea with his eyes downcast.

Yu Yaofang sat sideways opposite her, looking at her worriedly, Jiang Shan sat on the other side, opened her mouth to persuade Li Tian, ​​but didn't know where to start or what to say, so she looked at Yu Yaofang anxiously, waiting She spoke first, while Lin Ke spun around in front of the kang.

"I thought you were preoccupied a while ago. Is it because of this?" Seeing Li Tian put down the cup after drinking tea, Yu Yaofang asked, and Li Tian nodded.

"He's already engaged!" Lin Ke yelled angrily, "Shameless thing!" Jiang Shan was startled by Lin Ke's cry, and Yu Yaofang couldn't help frowning and scolded Lin Ke. "What's the use of being angry? What's the use of cursing people? Hurry up and find a place to sit, because people who turn around will be upset." Lin Ke jumped angrily on the chair in front of the kang, and kept beating the armrest of the chair with his fists clenched. , Yu Yaofang turned her head to look at Li Tian and said worriedly: "What is he? He made up his mind to carry you into the mansion? How can this happen? Do you have any plans?"

"I originally thought that if he made an engagement, there would be no obstacle between the two." Li Tian said bitterly, "If he made an engagement, I would naturally be able to make an engagement."

"He's called a bully! Is there no law? Ignore him, let's marry us! Let's see what he can do! What are you afraid of him?" Lin Ke patted the armrest of the chair and shouted, The three of them ignored her, Jiang Shan moved forward, looked at Li Tian and said solemnly: "Tian Tian, ​​don't be afraid, wait for the list to be released, don't wait for the list to be released, I will go back with Brother Nine, Dad and you A Niang said, this is the engagement, you and brother Jiu are engaged, what can he do? I don't believe he dares to rob someone! Don't worry, my brother is not afraid of him!"

Li Tian looked at Jiang Shan, wanted to laugh, but didn't. The fourth prince announced this possession in such a high-profile way today. If the Jiang family dared to propose marriage, it would be a declaration of war with the fourth prince. You can't let the Jiang family do this. The better they treat themselves, the less they can harm them.

"No need for now." Li Tian looked at Jiang Shan and responded in a warm voice, then turned to look at Yu Yaofang and said, "I haven't thought of any good solution for the time being, and I don't have any good plans, I think." Li Tian paused: "First we have to find Stay in the nunnery for a while, avoid the limelight and make other plans."

"I have a good idea!" Jiang Shan's eyes sparkled, she clapped her hands excitedly and shouted: "Brother Ninth got the second place in the exam this time, I heard that most of the imperial examinations take this rank, if Brother Ninth can get the second place, what is the best thing to do?" Yes, let Brother Nine find a marriage from the official! Just like the opera sang, get married by order!"

"That's right, that's a good idea!" Lin Ke also clapped his hands and said excitedly. Yu Yaofang looked at Jiang Shan and Lin Ke speechlessly. In this dynasty, only princes get married by order. There has never been a case of courtiers getting married by order!How can that drama be taken seriously?Li Tian was warmed by Jiang Shan's idea, his heart was sore and soft, with a slight smile on his face, he reached out and patted Jiang Shan and said, "It's not about whether it's a marriage proposal or a marriage proposal." Li Tian paused before continuing: " Don't worry, let's discuss it after your Ninth Brother's examination is over. You go back first. If anyone asks, just say that I am sick. After two days, I will find a nunnery and move in first. No matter what I plan to do in the future, this will You have to avoid it first."

"Then go to Fayun Nunnery. I'll accompany you. It's convenient to live in that other courtyard." Yu Yaofang answered, and Li Tian shook his head: "I can't live in Fayun Nunnery. How can the nunnery stop him? Is my reputation going to end? I have to find a nunnery in the city, right under everyone's noses, so that everyone can see it and I can avoid him. I just need to live Go in, everyone will know that he can't see me."

"Then Qingyue Nunnery!" Yu Yaofang reacted very quickly: "It's better to go there, but it's more difficult."

Qingyue nunnery is located in the northeast of the capital city, occupying a large area between the inner and outer cities. The ancient trees in the nunnery are towering, and the scenery is superb, but visitors are never allowed to enter the nunnery. The faithful men and women are only allowed to rejoice in the three main halls, and the rest are not allowed to enter. Inside.Qingyue Nunnery is the nunnery built by Emperor Taizong for the youngest Princess Qingyue to become a monk and practice. After Princess Qingyue, several royal princesses became monks here. good place.

"It's not easy to enter Qingyue nunnery, and even harder to get out. Do you want Tian Tian to be a nun for the rest of your life?" Lin Ke objected, but Li Tian agreed: "Indeed, only Qingyue nunnery is the most suitable one. Don't worry, Ake, it's fine." , If you can go in, you can come out, well, I'm fine, you go back first, don't mention today's matter, what we talked about."

Yu Yaofang lowered her head and thought for a while, then stood up and said, "Okay, let's go back first, and if there is anything you need, you can send someone to give instructions. A good man needs three people to help, whether it's me, Ake, or Shan Shan, everything can be entrusted, don't support it alone."

"Yes, yes, there are exactly three of us." Lin Ke hurriedly answered, "Tian Tian, ​​don't worry, I will stand by your side. If you become a monk, I will also become a monk. If you don't marry, I won't marry either. I will accompany you." Who is afraid of whom!" Li Tian was dumbfounded by Lin Ke's words, Yu Yaofang pushed Lin Ke and laughed angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, let's go quickly, Tian Tian must have a lot of things to do Think, let's go back and wait, anyway, as long as Tiantian has orders, he can do what he is told."

"Tian Tian, ​​don't forget me!" Jiang Shan leaned forward and said, "I am also like this, I will go find Brother Nine when I go back."

"Don't!" Li Tian was startled, and hurriedly waved his hands to stop Jiang Shan and said, "Your Brother Ninth will have a palace exam the day after tomorrow. This is the end of the matter, and there is no rush for a day or two. Don't tell him, let him Take the palace test well, and it won’t be too late when you come back from the palace test.”

"Tiantian is right. I said it now. If your brother doesn't do well in the exam, it will ruin the big thing." Yu Yaofang agreed, and Jiang Shan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yu Yaofang bid farewell to Lin Ke and Jiang Shan, but Li Tian didn't see them off either. He watched them go out, looked out of the window and thought for a while, then jumped off the kang and went to the front yard to look for Shui Qiuniang. Qingyue Nunnery said that it was not easy to get in and out of Qingyue Nunnery to hide for a while, so she had to think of a way.

In the backyard of Chang'an Marquis' Mansion, Zhu Mingyan's face was frighteningly pale, and she stood in front of her with her hands down. The mother-in-law who was reporting the fourth prince's visit to the Yongguo Mansion looked at her face from time to time, and her voice became lower and lower. The more timid.

The mother-in-law finally finished her report, she breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously took half a step back. Zhu Mingyan's straight figure exuded sharp anger, and suddenly raised her hand to overturn the flower stand beside her. On the flower stand was a pot of slim Clivia It fell to pieces and fell to pieces.The mother-in-law shivered in fright, and the maids around who were standing with their hands down held their breath, not daring to say a word.

Zhu Mingyan's anger erupted following the sound of the flower stand and flower pot falling to the ground, she turned around and picked up the Ru kiln vase on the table and smashed it heavily on the ground, the peach blossoms that bloomed early in the bottle mixed with water and shattered very small pieces of porcelain splashed all over the place , Zhu Mingyan's tears followed the peach blossoms and water splashed on the broken porcelain on the ground, her tears were blurred, she just grabbed the things at hand and threw them on the ground desperately, as if this was the only way to make her feel better.

All the maids and women in the courtyard were silent, the eldest girl Ao Shuang wept anxiously, and pushed the little girl to invite the old lady.

Mrs. Zhou supported the girl, and stood gasping for breath at the door of the already smashed upper room. Zhu Mingyan looked at Mrs. Zhou with residual anger, her body trembling slightly. Mrs. Zhou took a deep breath, clicked Ao Shuang ordered: "Servant Second Sister, change clothes, clean up this!"

The stunned girls and women all over the house and yard were relieved, quietly and quickly doing their own thing, Zhu Mingyan re-washed and changed her clothes, and the upper room was tidy.
