Let Me Pursue You

Lu Shiqing was standing three feet away, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and his slanted phoenix eyes were smiling faintly.

This girl has grown up well, and she has learned to return to her old place to yearn for him. It's not a bad trip to go south.

He was secretly complacent, but Yuan Cixian didn't hear what he asked at all, and just looked at him ecstatically.

Although the tight strings in her head were completely loosened at the end of the war, the thought of seeing Lu Shiqing took root in her heart. I pretended not to care, pretended to be in a good mood and came here for an outing, but I still couldn't deceive myself.

Otherwise, how could she blurt out this place when she was asked where she wanted to go? She had to admit that her desire to see him was so urgent that she urgently needed to go back to the old place to relieve it.

She was really kidnapped by him.

On New Year's Eve, Father asked her why Lu Shiqing was the only one who could die for Da Zhou.

She didn't answer at that time, because she couldn't figure it out herself, how could the teaching she had received since she was a child make her say such outrageous things. It wasn't until the next day that I heard my elder brother say "the authorities are obsessed" before I suddenly realized that the answer was: because she likes him.

Because he likes him, he is selfish, so the whole world cares most about his life and death.

The rising and setting of the sun has nothing to do with her, and the death of things has nothing to do with her. The mountains and rivers are vast, and the world is vast, but she only sees him.

Lu Shiqing, from a backer, became a living person. This person is right in front of her eyes, less than three feet away from her, and she wants to hug him.

Yuan Cixian's eyes became hot, and she rushed out of the small room, ran to him and surrounded him with her arms.

Lu Shiqing was terrified by this sudden hug, and looked down at her in a daze, but suddenly heard a low sob. She cried whenever she said she wanted to, and buried her head on his neck, shedding tears, which soon wet his clothes, and said sullenly, "You still know how to come back!"

Lu Shiqing panicked.

It is true that he went south this time to save the country, but if it wasn't for the Yuan family, he might not have chosen to do it himself. He always felt that the girl Yuan Cixian seemed hot-faced, but in fact she was hard-hearted. Since he had done what a backer should do for her, he might not be able to take the opportunity to ask for something, such as asking her to give him a break.

Therefore, on the way back, even though he was so anxious and non-stop, in order to return to Chang'an as soon as possible to propose marriage to her, he did not hesitate to blow the wind and eat dirt every day, but he resisted the urge to report to her several times.

But he regrets it now.

Lu Shiqing opened his mouth and closed it again, opened his mouth again, and closed it again. The man who is so quarrelsome in front of the enemy can't utter a word because of a girl's tears.

After a long silence, Yuan Cixian shed all tears. She recovered from the initial agitation, her arms were slightly loose, she looked up at him aggrieved and said, "Lu Shiqing, you are so ruthless, just leave without saying a word, and forget about not reporting on the way home. Now that I'm crying like this, don't you even give me a hug?"

Only then did Lu Shiqing realize that his head was blocked, and quickly reached out to hug her back. After hugging her, she felt that her waist wrapped in the cotton dress was narrower. It used to be full, but now it feels a bit unbearable.

Seeing his dazed expression, Yuan Cixian raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and hummed in her heart. Her face was not noticeably thin, so he must have noticed it now.

She sobbed and complained, "Is it all just hugging? So many tears, and you didn't wipe them away?" She raised her chin and lowered her eyes to indicate the tears on her face.

It was indeed crying like pear blossoms with rain, and the eyes that were already wet and foggy almost turned into pools of water. Lu Shiqing finally spoke, looked at her and said, "I don't have a veil."

If you don't have a handkerchief, you won't wipe it, and if you don't have a handkerchief, you can't use your hands. Is he thinking she is dirty again?

Yuan Cixian was roaring in her heart, but suddenly she saw Lu Shiqing gathered the arms around her waist, then lowered his head to her chin, and kissed her.

To be precise, it contained a drop of her teardrop that did not fall.

He went on to say: "It can only be wiped like this."

Yuan Cixian's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't say anything to resist, she closed her eyes obediently, and raised her face as if she wanted him to serve her.

Lu Shiqing paused for a moment, moved his lips upwards when he got the answer, and continued to kiss her tear stains, moving slowly, slowly and meticulously, from the side of her cheeks to the bottom of her eyes, and then to the tip of her nose, eyelids, and the center of her brows where there were actually no tears. .

Every touch is superficial, and every touch seems to be deeply affectionate.

Yuan Cixian thought through his kisses again and again that she was actually misled by Xu Ruqing. Ever since she heard her suggestion, she used throwing herself into her arms as a way to get Lu Shiqing down, so she took the initiative to offer kisses, or half-pushed when kissed by him.

The desire to conquer him was so deep that it overwhelmed the blushing and heartbeat that should have been there, and also made her forget the crucial point: if it was changed from the beginning, even if she wanted to please him again, she would never be willing to do so .

She is willing because subconsciously she does not regard such intimacy as a sacrifice at all.

After the last kiss between her eyebrows, Lu Shiqing's Adam's apple rolled, and he said hoarsely: "It's over."

Yuan Cixian frowned, continued to close his eyes, and urged him: "No." After speaking, she pouted her lips as a signal.

Taking advantage of her not being able to see, Lu Shiqing couldn't help laughing silently, lowered his head to the tip of her nose again, and then pecked her lips lightly.

That's the end of it? Yuan Cixian opened his eyes, his eyes were sad.

He obviously didn't have such a close relationship before, what about the kind who go up to the sky, run like tigers and roar like tigers, who overwhelm mountains and seas?

Lu Shiqing glanced at the bottom of the bamboo building, sighed and said, "I'll go and gouge out your elder brother's eyes first."

Yuan Cixian had a "wow" in his heart, and the huge waves surged to the sky, and he broke free, and suddenly turned his head and lay down on the side of the railing to look down, and saw Yuan Yu covering his eyes with one hand, and gesturing upwards with the other hand to signal them to continue, and slowly retreated all the way.

She lifted her face and groaned. She even forgot that brother and mother were also in Furongyuan.

Yuan Cixian looked back at Lu Shiqing, seeing him staring at her, felt a little ashamed now, raised her head to look at the sky, straightened her temple hair, and said without words: "Why did you find Furong Garden?"

He reluctantly replied: "Because I came to propose a marriage and found that the woman is not at home."

"..." God, what did she miss.

Yuan Cixian hurriedly said: "At home, at home, I will be home soon, the woman will go home now." After speaking, he ran away.

Lu Shiqing couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, he took a few steps quickly and pulled her arm: "Your brother and mother may go back first." The implication was that she didn't have a carriage to sit in.

"Okay." She made a bitter face, always feeling that this step was weird, "Then I'll take your carriage and go with you to propose marriage..."

After getting into Lu Shiqing's carriage and seeing the furnishings inside, Yuan Cixian realized that he didn't seem to have been home at all. That is to say, he rushed all the way to Chang'an, and on the way, he directed the Lu Mansion to arrange a matchmaker for the marriage, and then went straight to Shengyefang.

But she reckoned that this hard-talking, boring gourd would probably not take the initiative to mention these things, so she leaned next to him and said, "Actually, you can go home first, don't be so anxious, and I won't run away."

Lu Shiqing thought to herself that she had sent the jade ring to the south of Yunnan, and she said she would not run away, so she flapped her wings and flew away, okay? She sneered and said, "It's hard to chase after a word, I'm just fulfilling my promise." .”

Talk nonsense to him. How far is the distance between Diannan and Chang'an, she is very clear, and his footsteps have already stepped on the wind in such a hurry.

Thinking of this, she said confidently: "It is said that we will propose marriage next time we meet again, and you can never come to see me."

Lu Shiqing choked and did not speak.

never see you? She is so beautiful. Unless he's dead.

When he arrived at the Yuan Mansion in Shengyefang, Yuan Cixian saw a luxurious carriage parked at the gate of the mansion, and there were servants moving things down from inside, and there was a row of geese and a lamb. , and then a piece of wine, broomcorn millet, rice noodles.

This is stipulated by the Great Zhou Dynasty, the first of the six wedding ceremonies, and the engagement ceremony in the ring of Nacai. From the prince down to the ninth rank are the same regulations.

But Yuan Cixian was taken aback, and turned back to Lu Shiqing, "Isn't this too fast, my father didn't even agree, so you rushed to give the gift first?"

He said "oh" lightly: "I'm busy with business, so I'll do it once. If you don't agree, just talk about it."

Yuan Cixian squinted at him, before stepping into the gate of the mansion, he heard a dog barking, and when he looked up, he saw Xiao Hei jumping out, as if smelling the same kind, oh no, non-human breath, and jumped towards him. He picked up a servant from Lu's mansion, and went straight to the wild goose in his hand.

The servant couldn't guard against the sudden attack of such a big black-skinned hound, shook his hand, and threw the goose high in fright.

The live goose had its wings bound, so it couldn't fly anymore, but it was in mid-air, and it was about to fall into a puddle of mud and become a dead goose.

This is really trying to mess up the marriage.

Lu Shiqing gritted his teeth, stepped forward quickly, and stretched out his hands.

With a sound of "poof", after the wild goose fell firmly into his arms, a few goose feathers fell from the sky, which just happened to float on top of his head.

Lu Shiqing's face darkened.

Yuan Cixian is his curse, the curse of his life.

All this happened in an instant, Yuan Cixian turned around in a daze, couldn't help it, and burst out laughing, at the same time, the scene of him falling into the lake in embarrassment and sharing the scene with hibiscus flowers flashed through his head.

Lu Shiqing gave her a gouging look, and when he lowered his head again, he saw that Xiao Hei had reached his feet at some point, and was staring longingly at the live goose in his hand.

Dogs and geese don't have feelings for each other...

He swallowed hard, and hugged the goose even tighter, and then heard a voice saying loudly: "Don't be afraid of the dog's power, not afraid of the dirty smell, very good, Lu Shilang, I can barely count you as passing my test, go inside please."

Lu Shiqing looked up at Yuan Yu, who was smiling uncontrollably in the distance, and said with restraint, "Thank you, General Yuan."

Yuan Yu waved his hand: "You're welcome, since you want to call me brother-in-law so much, of course I should take care of you more." While speaking, he emphasized the word "big".

Lu Shiqing was really annoyed by this annoying seniority, but today he was under the eaves, so he had to bow his head, give him a slight nod, walked stiffly around Xiao Hei, and handed the live goose back to the servant.

Yuan Cixian was about to go forward to help him remove the bird feathers on his head, but Yuan Yu called out: "Cixian, your last name is Yuan, come here."

She had no choice but to give Lu Shiqing a coquettish smile, and then left with her brother.

The matchmaker had already talked about their marriage with Yuan Yizhi and Feng Shi in the middle hall, saying how extraordinary Lu Shiqing is and what a rare young talent he is.

According to the rules, Yuan Cixian should not show his face, but he was really curious about the result, so he wanted to listen to a corner. It's a pity that she is as shrewd as her father, her stealthy skills can barely be used elsewhere, and she will be sent back to the room by the servants' arms as soon as she reaches the back window, and she will not be able to ask what happened until all the people in the middle hall are gone. .

Shi Cui came to report to her immediately: "Little lady, it's done, your marriage with Lu Shilang is done!"

This scene is almost like winning the first prize.

Yuan Cixian asked: "What did Mom and Dad say?"

"It is said that I promised Lu Shilang to make a marriage first, and send someone to calculate the horoscope of your birthday and his birthday, for good or bad, but this trip is in a hurry, regardless of the specific wedding date, we will postpone the discussion."

This fortune-telling is actually the second round of the six rites, and it should be calculated when Lu Shiqing visits the door again, but Yuan Yizhi has already stayed in Chang'an for more than a month this time, and the situation in southern Yunnan was initially determined after the war. He was afraid that he didn't have so much time to delay, so he simply complied with Lu Shiqing's wishes and came together with two salutes.

Yuan Cixian said "Oh", thinking that it must be auspicious, nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Where's Lu Shiqing?"

Lu Shiqing was already outside the gate of Yuan Mansion. Yuan Yi followed him into the carriage, and saw him handing over the crescent-shaped Emperor Topaz.

There were too many people just now, and Lu Shiqing didn't have a chance to hand it over to him. Before leaving, he gave him a wink and he came.

"Although it didn't come in handy, thank you for being willing to treat Lu like this." Lu Shiqing said after handing over the jade.

Yuan Yizhi said without expression: "It's all for the gift of Xian. If you are really grateful, then keep it secret from her, including her brother and mother. They don't know about this piece of jade."

Lu Shiqing lowered his eyes and smiled: "Lu Mou understands."

Yuan Yi nodded and got off the carriage. Lu Shiqing also became more acquainted, and stopped turning around to greet Yuan Cixian, and asked the coachman to go to Yongxingfang. Once he arrived at the Lu Mansion, he ordered Cao An to take the horoscopes of the two people's birthdays, and go to the divination first to ask for good luck.

This divination was originally supposed to be handed over to Xuan Shi, but Cao An didn't understand why he was so impatient, he didn't return until dusk after taking orders, and handed him a note with a solemn face.

Lu Shiqing probably knew the result by looking at his expression, opened the note and saw the word "fierce" on it.

Cao An explained: "Your Majesty, the villain is playing tricks and divination four hexagrams for you, but unexpectedly, all the hexagrams are evil. According to the horoscope of the birth date, the Lord of Lancang County really beat you."

Lu Shiqing smiled faintly, put the note to the oil lamp at hand, and burned it with the fire, pulled a piece of paper, picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, stroke by stroke: horizontal, vertical, horizontal, vertical, horizontal, vertical, horizontal.

After a while, he handed the rewritten note to Cao An: "There is no point in my life with her, there is only one thing, take it to the Yuan family."
