Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine
Chapter 423: Escape overnight
Du Manting, who has been familiar with military literature with her father since she was a child, and has learned some reconnaissance methods of scouts, when she heard about the marriage partner selected by her grandmother and aunt, she hurriedly left two letters and set off on her journey overnight with her baggage. The way back to Liangzhou.
Du Manting hurried out of the city before the city gate closed. She looked back at the high city wall, still feeling a little reluctant. Grandma is very old, so I don’t know what she will be like when we see her again. There were also her aunt, uncle, and cousin. During her stay in the capital, she received their meticulous care.
And her good friend Fangsui, life is so difficult and she doesn’t know when it will get better.
She also likes the bustle and excitement of the capital, but the biggest gain from this trip is the three story books she bought. The stories in them are so beautiful. She can't bear to read too many of them every day, but she can't help but want to go there. Look later. She had read two books in just a few days, leaving one to read on the way, so that the return journey would not be so boring.
It's a pity that after returning to Liangzhou, I don't know if I will have the chance to read such a beautiful storybook again. Fortunately, she left a letter to Fangsui. If this "future guest" has another new story book in the future, she will ask Fangsui to buy it for her and send it to Liangzhou.
No matter how good the capital is, it is not as comfortable as in Liangzhou or the military camp. That is the place that truly belongs to her.
Du Manting took a deep breath, raised her lips and said with a smile, "Jingcheng, I'm leaving!"
She walked briskly to the carriage, "Uncle Liang, let's go."
"The girl really just left without saying goodbye to the old lady?" Uncle Liang, who was escorting her, said.
"No," Du Manting said as she got into the car, "If grandma knows, I will
I can't leave anymore. Does Uncle Liang want to see me stay in the capital and get married? "
Uncle Liang is an old man of the Du family. He followed them from the capital to Liangzhou and watched her grow up.
"The family that the old lady has chosen for the girl will definitely be good. There is nothing wrong with the girl staying in the capital to get married, so she doesn't have to go back and hang out with those rough and rough men all day long, without looking like a girl..."
"Uncle Liang!" Du Manting stood on the carriage with her hands on her hips, "I want to be a female general, what can I do with that useless girl? Besides, when it comes to marriage, you don't even know that the man my grandmother chose for me is not good at both civil and military skills. , reeked of copper, I don’t want to marry such a person.”
Uncle Liang was stunned, "Is this the kind of person the old lady chose for the girl?"
"That's not true, so I have to leave quickly." Du Manting opened the curtain and entered the carriage.
Uncle Liang was dubious, looked up at the dark night, and drove the carriage westward.
Du Manting sat in the rickety carriage, thinking of her grandmother and aunt, who had chosen Dong Jialin in the end. Regardless of his lack of martial arts skills and his business outside, just because he was Dong Jiafu's second brother, it was impossible for her to marry him.
As far as she knew, her grandmother and aunt were not attracted to him at first, but to his eldest brother, Dong Jiabao, the number one scholar. The two were first worried that the Dong family had a high family status, and Dong Jiabai had just passed the exam and was in the spotlight. There were so many people who wanted to marry the girl in his family to him, and she might not be able to get in the queue.
Du Manting was disdainful. No wonder her cousin was the first to introduce Dong Jiabao to her on the day of the outing. It turned out that this was his idea. So what if he is the number one scholar? She doesn't like to marry whoever she likes.
Later aunt
When my mother found out that Dong Jiabao had been appointed as the general magistrate of Suzhou, she thought about it again and again with her grandmother and gave up the idea. They finally let her come back from Liangzhou. They just hoped that she could stay in the capital. They didn't want her to follow them to such a far place in the future, not to mention that Suzhou was not as good as Liangzhou.
Du Manting was very happy at that time, thinking that she could stay in the capital for a few more days. Unexpectedly, her aunt mentioned Dong Jialin again and said that her cousin praised him very much and praised him as a man with outstanding appearance and cleverness.
Together, the two of them felt that Dong Jialin was a good candidate. He had a clear family background, his father was a pure minister in a high position, and his eldest brother was the number one scholar. She was not the eldest daughter-in-law when she was married. In the future, she would not have to host the wedding ceremony, but she and Dong Jialin would live their own little lives.
They didn't know that Dong Jialin was doing business outside, they just thought that he was the youngest son in the family and he was at ease. The more the two talked, the more they thought Dong Jialin was good, and finally they decided to let their aunt go to Dong's house to talk about their marriage.
Du Manting became anxious when she heard this. Who wants to live a small life with him? Her ambition is on the battlefield!
Listening to the rumble of the carriage, Du Manting felt like returning home. She missed her father, the soldiers in the military camp, her BMW, and wanted to ride it and gallop on the grass.
During the time Du Manting was in the capital, she had been living alternately between her maternal grandfather's house and her aunt's Wang family. She left from the Wang family that night.
Early in the morning, the Wang family was waiting for her to have breakfast, but the food was already on the table, and there was no one waiting for her.
Mrs. Wang told the maid next to her, "Go and see what my cousin is busy with. She should have been here long ago at this time."
The maid responded and quickly went out to look for someone.
After a while, the maid ran back in a hurry and said, "Mrs.
Oh, my cousin is gone——"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she stood up from her seat and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by missing?"
"Slave... I went to knock on my cousin's door. No one answered. So I pushed the door open and went in. I found that my cousin was not in the room..."
"If she's not in the house, go look outside. She likes to practice in the backyard after getting up. Did you go there to look for her?" Mrs. Wang asked anxiously.
"I have looked for my cousin, but she is not in the backyard. I also asked other people, and they all said that they had not seen my cousin this morning. I went back to my cousin's room and found two letters on the table..." The maid handed the letter to Mrs. Wang with trembling hands.
Now the prince beside him couldn't sit still anymore and stood up nervously.
Mrs. Wang took the letter and saw the words on the envelope. She thrust the one addressed to Qin Fangsui into Prince Wang's hand and eagerly opened the remaining one.
"Mother, what did my cousin say in the letter?" Wang Gongzi asked.
Mrs. Wang finished reading the letter, her chest heaving up and down excitedly, and the letter paper in her hand rattled.
"Man Ting is such a wild child. For such a big thing as returning to Liangzhou, she left without even saying hello. She was still walking in the dark..." Mrs. Wang covered her chest with one hand to catch her breath. "I'm just showing her how to get married, and I'm not going to kill her. The road is dark and dark. If something happens to her, how can I explain to my dead sister?"
"Mother, don't be anxious. Sit down and speak slowly." Mr. Wang helped Mrs. Wang sit down and took the letter and read it.
Mrs. Wang was anxious and angry, and continued: "Your grandmother and I are doing it for her own good, then
The second son of the Dong family is such a good match, but she doesn't know how to cherish it. She is such a grown-up person, but she still only thinks about being a female general. Leading troops and fighting in wars is all a man's business. Why does she, a girl, join in the fun? "
"I really regret it. When her mother passed away, I should have asked your grandmother to take her back, so that she would not have been raised like this by her father."
"My grandma felt sorry for my uncle at that time. My aunt went and took away their only flesh and blood from him. How will my uncle live in the future?" Wang Gongzi advised, "My cousin is not an ordinary boudoir girl. She doesn't want to It’s useless for anyone to say who you want to marry. Mother, don’t worry too much. My cousin is very skilled in martial arts and ordinary men are no match for her. And Uncle Liang is escorting her, so she will be fine.”
"Alas -" Mrs. Wang sighed, wondering what else could be done now, "I have to think about how to tell your grandmother..."
