Thousands of years

Caring will suffer sooner or later.

Back home at night, the old man Lin thought over and over again, and finally made up his mind to persuade Lin Ruoqing: "Ruoqing, it's not that father said you. Isn't it a good home to marry into Luo's family? Why don't you want to?" Lin Ruoqing said in surprise: "Father, are you joking? Mr. Luo is a well-known playboy, Mrs. Guang is married to the sixth room. If the daughter is married, she will not have a good life."

"But", the old man Lin said hesitantly: "For people like us, marrying someone else to be a child is a good destination, at least you don't have to worry about making a living. If you marry the kite selling pillar next door, it will be a lifetime I will suffer from poverty." Lin Ruoqing looked at the old man Lin's old face, she knew that this kind old man was thinking of her, but she was not willing to face such a fate, she smiled at the old man Lin: "I will not marry anyone , I will be with dad all my life." Old man Lin sighed deeply, he couldn't say too much if it wasn't his biological daughter.

Early in the morning of the third day, before the father and daughter of the Lin family went out to set up a stall, the sedan chair of the Luo family came to the door.More than a dozen people blocked the door.Lin Ruoqing wasn't very worried because she got Zhan Zhao's promise earlier, but seeing the formation outside the door, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Not only yesterday's matchmaker but also a girl dressed as a maid came here, and the rest were strong servants. A group of people rushed into the small courtyard, and the matchmaker came forward with a charming smile: "Why? Like? Miss Lin? Have you ever figured it out? If you figured it out, you will obediently change into a sedan chair and enjoy endless glory and wealth."

Lin Ruoqing looked at the door, Zhan Zhao hadn't come yet, if she confronted them at this moment, she would never get along well, the only thing she could do was delay, so Lin Ruoqing pretended to agree to them, turned around and entered the door.The moment she looked back, she saw the extremely sad face on the pillar at the door, that's all, it was impossible at first, so it might be a good thing to let him stop thinking about it.

Zhan Zhao escorted Bao Zheng to the court early in the morning, and after the morning court, the officials left two more to explain some trivial matters. Zhan Zhao had Lin Ruoqing in his heart and was impatient, but there was nothing he could do.

Coming out of the palace, Zhan Zhao sent Bao Zheng back to the Kaifeng mansion, and hurried all the way to Lin's house.When he came to Lin's house, Zhan Zhao was shocked by the sight in front of him: the courtyard door and the house door were wide open, and the courtyard was in a mess. When he entered the house, he saw the pillar standing there in a daze, at a loss, and not far away Old man Lin passed out by the table, his head was covered in blood, Zhan Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to sniff old man Lin: It's okay, he just passed out.

Instructing the pillars on the side to take care of old man Lin, Zhan Zhao used his lightness kung fu to run all the way away, and saw the wedding party in front of him from a distance, but there were more and more people on the street at this time, Zhan Zhao jumped in a hurry , When he got close, he stepped on the roof of the sedan chair, and with his body turned, he fell to the ground and stood in front of the sedan chair.

The sedan chair stopped, and the matchmaker came forward unsteadily, and asked arrogantly, "Who are you? How dare you stop Mr. Luo's sedan chair from the Ministry of Rites?"

"Kaifeng Mansion Zhan Zhao" Zhan Zhao replied loudly.She swept across the people present with her sharp eyes, and a gust of cold air hit, the matchmaker shrank her neck, losing the aura she had just now. "You guys are so courageous. How dare you snatch a marriage in broad daylight. Do you still have the laws of the Song Dynasty in your eyes?"

"Whoever said we robbed the marriage, our young master married the seventh concubine in an open and aboveboard manner." The matchmaker insisted.Zhan Zhao only glanced at her, and the matchmaker shut her mouth.

Zhan Zhao, who was dressed in a bright red official uniform, walked towards the sedan chair step by step with a huge que in hand, the servants were afraid of Zhan Zhao's aura, and none of them caught up to stop him.

The matchmaker boldly shouted: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you go up?" The servant just realized it, and surrounded Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao held the sword in his hand and smiled contemptuously. With his right hand, he swung the sword to separate the incoming knife, and with his left hand, he grabbed the wrist of a spear stabbed by a man and threw the man to the ground forcefully.At the same time, the whirring sound of turning the Juque sword in his hand by turning his right hand over, knocked several servants who rushed up one after another to the ground, unable to get up one by one, Zhan Zhao's sword was still not out of its sheath.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the matchmaker, bearer and others took advantage of the panic and ran away without seeing anyone.

Zhan Zhao came to the sedan chair with big strides, and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.What came into my eyes was a pale and lifeless face, the makeup on the face was already worn out, a large bruise on the forehead, the eyes were tightly closed, there were still teardrops hanging on the long eyelashes, and he was dressed in bright red. The wedding dress is also in tatters.Zhan Zhao could only feel that he was secretly blaming himself: he was the one who came late and made her look like this.

Gently picking her up, Zhan Zhao walked back step by step.The Lin family arrived, put her on the bed, turned around and saw Zhu Zi standing outside the door, and asked, "Zhu Zi, how is old man Lin?" Zhu Zi stammered and said, "Where is that room? The doctor came to see, but he is still awake. Master Zhan, what is going on? I remember that Ruoqing agreed to them, how did it become like this?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at Lin Ruoqing who was on the bed again, his eyes were full of regret: "It's all Zhan Zhao's fault, it's Zhan Zhao who came late."

Lin Ruoqing slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying on the bed. Her first reaction was that she was being carried to the Luo Mansion. She was about to sit up and found that someone was reaching out to help her, so she hurriedly dodged and shouted: "No Touch me, don't touch me."

A familiar warm voice sounded: "Miss Lin, don't be afraid, I'm Zhan Zhao." "Zhan Zhao?" Lin Ruoqing raised her head to meet Shang Zhan Zhao's concerned eyes, she threw herself into Cheng Zhao's arms and cried out, Zhan Zhao froze, but he didn't push her away, letting Lin Ruoqing cry in his arms while saying, "Zhan Zhao, why are you here now? I pretended to promise them to delay the time, but it's been a long time since you haven't come, I thought that if I entered the Luo Mansion, there would be nothing I could do, so I resisted desperately, but I still couldn't stop them, and they even took my father... ".

Speaking of this, Lin Ruoqing raised her head and looked at Zhan Zhao: "Where is my father?" Zhan Zhao replied: "In another room, the pillar should be there." Sitting up straight in embarrassment, Zhan Zhao said softly, "It's Zhan who went late and made the girl suffer." "It's okay, I'm fine now." Lin Ruoqing pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, with The weeping makeup paired with this expression made Zhan Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded at the door: "Master Zhan".Zhan Zhao turned around and saw that it was Wang Chao, so he asked, "Why are you here? But your lord is looking for me?" That Wang Chao glanced at Lin Ruoqing who was on the bed, and said to Zhan Zhao seriously, "Master Luo's son from the Ministry of Rites will tell you, Mr. Zhan. Go to court."

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao wondered, "What is the crime of suing Zhan?" "Sue Mr. Zhan that you robbed the relatives in the street and injured the servants in the mansion." Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Lin Ruoqing stood up and said, " This Mr. Luo is too much, he dared to sue the wicked first, Master Zhan, don't worry that I will go with you to explain to Master Bao." Zhan Zhao couldn't help feeling warm when he saw that Lin Ruoqing was out of danger by herself and came to comfort him.He agreed and entrusted old man Lin to Zhuzi, and the two left with the dynasty.Looking at the backs of the two, the pillars behind them couldn't help feeling sad.

3. Court

This is the second time for Lin Ruoqing to kneel on the court of Kaifeng Mansion. She really dislikes the ancient people's kneeling ceremony, but there is nothing she can do about it.

Mr. Luo and the matchmaker in his mansion knelt down on the ground.

The lobby of Kaifeng Mansion and the black-breaded Qingtian in the lobby always gave Lin Ruoqing an indescribable fear, which made her instinctively reject this place, but who knew that the more she hid, the more she came here for more than two months, and the lobby has already been in the lobby for two months. time.

Lin Ruoqing glanced at Zhan Zhao who was beside him, even though he was kneeling, his back was still straight, his eyes were downcast and he knelt there without showing any emotion.

There was a "pop" sound on Master Bao's gavel, pulling Lin Ruoqing back from her thoughts, and Master Bao in the hall said, "Come here! Take off Zhan Zhao's official uniform, and take off his official hat." Lin Ruoqing Can't help but want to speak, Zhan Zhao stopped her with his eyes.

Master Bao's deep and powerful voice sounded: "Zhan Zhao, Luo Yusheng, son of Lord Luo, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, sued you in the street for snatching the seventh concubine he is marrying, and wounding the servants in the mansion. Do you have anything to say?"

"My lord, it's not my subordinate who snatched the marriage, but Mr. Luo himself. The reason why this subordinate injured the servant of the Luo family was to save Miss Lin Ruoqing who was snatched away by him." Zhan Zhao replied calmly.

Bao Zheng looked at Zhan Zhao with trust in his eyes: "Mr. Luo has the matchmaker Liu Jinniang and a group of servants as witnesses. Do you have evidence to prove that what you said is true or false?"

Lin Ruoqing finally couldn't bear it and interjected: "I can prove it." Bao Zheng slapped the gavel and said, "Unless the government asks you, you must not answer." Lin Ruoqing was frightened, looked at Bao Zheng's solemn face, and quickly closed On the mouth.

Zhan Zhao pointed to Lin Ruoqing who was beside him and slowly said, "My lord, this Miss Lin rescued by my subordinates can prove it." Then, Zhan Zhao slowly told what happened. Zhan Zhao said in a gentle voice, "In the end, my subordinates came to the lobby with Miss Lin."

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin Ruoqing: "Lin Ruoqing".Lin Ruoqing quickly replied: "The girl is here." "Get up and answer." Bao Zheng said softly.

Lin Ruoqing stood up quickly as if she was being amnesty, her legs were already numb after only a short while, and she glanced at Zhan Zhao who was kneeling still upright and motionless, thinking: How did he do it?Or has it become a habit?

"Lin Ruoqing asked you if what Zhan Zhao just said is true?" Master Bao asked again.

"Everything Mr. Zhan said is the truth and I can testify to it." Then Lin Ruoqing told the story of how she pretended to agree and how she fought against the snatching of the marriage with all her strength.
