Rong Lan

Chapter 17 Miaonan Gamble

The carriage headed south all the way, and the weather became warmer and more suitable as it went.

Originally, the carriage from the capital to Miaonan took a month at the slowest time, but Rong Xuan took care of Rong Lan's body, the carriage stopped and went, and it was considered fast if it could travel fifty miles a day.Now it has been half a month, but not even a quarter of the distance.

Rong Lan was anxious at the beginning, bargaining with Rong Xuan, but later on his heart ached more and more, if he really walked fast, his body would not be able to take it anymore, so he just relaxed and followed Rong Xuan all the way to the mountains and rivers.After playing around, I was really not as anxious as before, so the two people's schedule became more and more comfortable.

On this day, the two stopped by Fucheng.There are no famous historical sites in Fucheng, but it is a well-known "rich" city.

"Hey, my little brother, may I ask what are the crowds around there doing?" As soon as Rong Lan entered the city, she was aroused by the tight crowd not far away, and asked a passerby.

"The two sons are from other places, right? Over there is Ms. Wang, the daughter of the richest man in our city, who is throwing a hydrangea ball to choose a husband!" Passers-by looked at Rong Lan and Rong Xuan, "There have been a lot of tourists from other places in the past two days. You two don't look like you are going to grab the hydrangea."

Rong Lan raised her eyebrows, "Why doesn't it look like this? I'm here for the beauty of the Wang family!"

After speaking, he pulled Rong Xuan away: "Brother, let's go and see too! I haven't seen what it looks like to throw a hydrangea for real!"

Rong Xuan held back Rong Lan's footsteps: "What's so good about throwing a hydrangea? You don't eat much lunch, and my elder brother sees that your complexion is worse than noon. Be obedient, go to the inn to rest and think about playing again."

Since Rong Lan started this game, she has endured all kinds of ailments almost all the time, and she has long been used to it.At this moment, his complexion is snow-white, and even his lips are extremely pale, but he doesn't realize how weak his body looks.

He pulled the corner of Rong Xuan's clothes, and said softly: "Brother...I want to see..."

Rong Xuan's heart softened when he heard it: "It's fine to join in the fun, but you must be carried by the elder brother. There are too many people over there, and you are weak, so you can't bear to squeeze with them."

Rong Lan bargained: "Holding is too embarrassing, can you hold hands?"

Seeing that Rong Xuan didn't answer for a long time, he knew it was impossible, so he gave in another step: "Then I'll give you an arm around the head office, shall I?"

Rong Xuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly: "Xiao Lan, don't reach out for that hydrangea."

Rong Lan fawned over to Rong Xuan's side: "Hey! There are so many people, the hydrangea will not fall into my hands. Brother, hurry up! It seems to be about to start!"

Rong Lan was protected by Rong Xuan, and she got into the front row of the crowd without any effort.

"Miss Wang is indeed a beauty!" Rong Lan raised her head excitedly.

Rong Xuan muffledly protected him, "What can you see when you cover the veil?"

"Eyes! Those eyes are watery, they are really beautiful, and they must be just as beautiful!"

Rong Xuan only tilted his head to stare at Rong Lan's eyes, his voice was drowned out by the crowd: "Brother, in my heart, Xiao Lan's eyes are the prettiest."

Rong Xuan's words were not groundless, ever since his beloved younger brother became weak and sick, the round cheeks before gradually became thinner, the jaw became more refined, his face was as big as a palm, but his eyes became brighter and more energetic.Eyes like lacquer, sometimes with a sly smile, or with a wise and calm pupil, sometimes the eyes are boundless, vast and broad, sometimes revealing a faint sadness, gentle mist, his heart can not help but be moved by these eyes Affected, deeply fascinated by the look in these eyes.

Rong Xuan was fascinated, and suddenly Rong Lan leaned over in his arms, and the hydrangea was thrown from the embroidery tower, and the crowd behind him swarmed up. Rong Lan was lightly pushed from behind, and the hydrangea fell into his arms. The man staggered a few steps forward, subconsciously hugging a ball of red silk in his arms.

"Xiao Lan! How are you? It's all my brother's fault for not protecting you!" Rong Xuan hurriedly supported Rong Lan.

Rong Lan smiled and raised her head, shaking the things in her hand: "Brother, I seem to have stretched out my hand..."

"Who is that person?!"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before! You're not from Fucheng!"

"I don't know what's so good about a little boy, Miss Wang can fall in love with him!"

"No, it looks short-lived at first glance!"

The crowd chattered loudly, they had been waiting under the Xiulou since before dawn, but now they were robbed by a passer-by from a foreign country who rushed out halfway, and they were inevitably angry.

Just as Rong Lan was about to throw the hydrangea out again, a girl came down upstairs, dressed as a maid: "Congratulations to this young man for winning the favor of my lady, please go upstairs with Bi'er!"

Rong Xuan pulled the hydrangea out of Rong Lan's hand and handed it to the little girl who called herself Bi'er: "Tell your lady, we are not here to grab the hydrangea, but just to watch the fun. It offends her if she is abrupt, but I still invite her." Throw it again!"

Bi'er changed hands and stuffed the hydrangea ball back into Rong Lan's arms, without the politeness just now: "Since you are standing under the embroidery building, you know the rules! How can you take back the hydrangea ball and throw it again after throwing it out?" !"

How did Rong Lan know that he was a sick young man who was short-lived at first glance, that the beautiful woman from the Wang family who had never met would fall in love with him, secretly regretting that she shouldn't come to join in the fun.

But as he thought about it, he stepped out and followed Bi'er upstairs: "Brother, wait for me here, I'll come back as soon as I go."

"Xiao Lan!" Rong Xuan didn't feel relieved, he was surrounded by several guards just as he was about to step up, and he was secretly shocked that the richest man in Xiaofu City could invite so many martial arts masters.

Upstairs, Rong Lan bowed to the woman who covered her face with a light veil in front of her: "Miss Wang, I, Rong Lan, a native of the capital, apologize to the girl here."

Wang Suxue slowly took off the veil, her eyes flicked: "It turns out that the son's surname is Rong, and Suxue was rude. At that time, there was a snow disaster in Qi County, and Suxue and the son had a one-sided relationship. I don't know how they can continue their relationship like this."

Rong Lan didn't think that Miss Wang's family had seen him before. He didn't think he had seen this person before, but acquaintances were easy to talk to when they met, so he hurriedly explained the reason: "Well, Miss Wang, I just came to see it under the embroidery building out of curiosity. It was so lively, it gave the girl a misunderstanding, it was because I didn't think carefully."

When Wang Suxue heard the words, she was not as easy-talking as Rong Lan imagined. She took two steps closer and said clearly, "What is the meaning of Mr. Rong? Suxue has never forgotten you since that day. Now that Suxue is choosing a husband, it just so happens that you have traveled a long way. Coming from Kyoto to Fucheng, isn't this the fate of you and me?"

It was even more difficult for Rong Lan to think that Miss Wang would still fall in love with her at first sight, and sighed, it seemed that she could only use the trick that she had thought in advance.

When he made up his mind, he went up to Wang Suxue, bowed his head and put it in Wang Suxue's ear: "I'll tell you the truth, I really have a habit of breaking my sleeves. Marrying a girl will also ruin your life."

Wang Suxue backed away in surprise: "I don't believe it! Why did Mr. Rong lie to me like this and shirk the marriage."

Rong Lan remained silent, covered Wang Suxue's veil with her palms, took her hand to the terrace of the embroidery building, and pointed at Rong Xuan, who was looking anxiously at her figure downstairs: "That's Rong's." Sweetheart! Don’t you believe me, girl?”

Wang Suxue's complexion changed from time to time. Thinking back to the man downstairs who had been holding Rong Lan's shoulders, protecting Rong Lan in front of him, and the tender gaze he had when he turned his head to look at Rong Lan, it was even more so at this moment...

She turned around and walked into the room, lowering her eyes: "In this case, Suxue is not a messy person, you can go! It's just that Mr. Rong's departure will be detrimental to Suxue's Qinggui. You have to promise Suxue one thing before Make compensation."

"What's the matter?" Rong Lan asked hurriedly.

Wang Suxue turned her eyes sideways: "Bi'er."

"The servant is here."

"Go and bring the Fire Snake Gallbladder and give it to him to eat!"

"Yes!"

When Rong Lan saw a mass of blood-red raw snake gall in front of him, he couldn't help but churn in his stomach, "If I eat this, will I be able to leave?"

Wang Suxue nodded, and Rong Lan swallowed the snake gall in one gulp, not daring to chew it, her brow was still covered with sweat and her lips turned white.

Wang Suxue stared at Rong Lan in a daze for a moment, then said softly: "Just now Suxue held hands with the young master, and the young master's hands were abnormally cold. In Qi County, the young master dragged his sick body to run around in the snow for the people, and the cold poison in your body may have penetrated into your bones at that time." , no matter how difficult it is to get rid of. Although the fire snake gallbladder cannot cure your disease, at least it will not make your hands and feet cold and sleepless at night."

Rong Lan refused to marry, and inexplicably accepted such a big favor from Wang Suxue, she couldn't help but feel guilty, and felt that today's hydrangea throwing was a bit strange, "Miss Wang is kind-hearted, and she will surely find someone who loves each other as soon as possible."

After a few words of politeness, he left in a hurry. Downstairs, Rong Xuan drew his sword and fought with the guards.

"Big brother!"

When Rong Lan went downstairs, the guards disappeared instantly.

"Xiao Lan, did Miss Wang make things difficult for you?" Rong Xuan put away his sword, walked quickly to Rong Lan, held Rong Lan's shoulders to check whether his younger brother was injured, but his palms were wet and cold, and he couldn't help being shocked: "You Why are you sweating so much? Are you feeling unwell?"

Before Rong Lan could answer, he hugged the man horizontally in his arms, and before taking a few steps, he gently increased his strength and hugged him even tighter: "Xiao Lan, don't be so playful in the future. The Wang family is not easy, let's go as soon as possible." Leave Fucheng."

Rong Lanwo nodded in Rongxuan's arms, stretched out his hand to hook Rongxuan's neck, people were passing by on the street, he approached Rongxuan's ear as if no one was around, and from a distance, he seemed to be kissing Rongxuan.

"Brother, I lied to Miss Wang that you were my lover, so she let me go. Before I leave Fucheng, I'm afraid I will wrong you!"

Rong Xuan's ears were red, his heart was beating fast, and his whole body was almost stiff: "Xiaolan, what if the eldest brother says you don't mind?"

In fact, Rong Xuan has excellent hearing ability. He heard every word of the "sweetheart" that Rong Lan said to Wang Suxue just now, and it was the first time that Rong Lan took the initiative to throw him into his arms. The feelings that shouldn't be for my younger brother are hard to restrain.

"I don't mind anything..." Rong Lan's voice was weak.

Rong Xuan's heart was beating non-stop, and he didn't notice Rong Lan's strangeness at all, "It's just..." He said in a low voice, before the person in his arms trembled suddenly, the arms around him fell down.

"Xiaolan—!" Rong Xuan exclaimed and lowered his head, there was a lot of blood on his chest!

Rong Lan's almost transparent lips were dotted with bright red, her neck was weak and she leaned back, her eyes were closed tightly, and she didn't respond.

"Xiaolan! Xiaolan!" Rong Xuan held the back of Ronglan's neck and put it into his arms, jumped up, "Xiaolan, big brother won't let you get into trouble!" Wang Chufeng followed all the way secretly, he will definitely save you!
