Manifest Marriage I

Ye Yu knocked on the window, and the sound of "Ba Da" and "Ba Da" came from the fine and coherent rain. The rain washed away the sweltering heat of Xunyang City.

After dinner, Lian Zhou was wearing a spacious bathrobe with a long belt around her waist, her waist was slender and could be grasped in the palm of her hand, and the tips of her hair were covered with raindrops. The maid has long been used to the lady doing everything by herself, watching her nose, nose and heart, Stand with hands down.

"Go down..."

"Yes……"

The inner room fell into silence. Just after coming out of the bath, her fair skin was dazzled by the moist pinkness from the heat. Lian Zhou sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She was white and tall, and her eyebrows were unconsciously in this place. The rich and majestic Gaomen compound has gradually cultivated subtle elegance and nobility.

She knew where such a change came from.

Servants and maidservants, in this position, mostly watch the dishes.Ah Jing treated her well, day after day, there was an impulsive momentum to make a fake show real, causing the whole family, whether they knew it or not, to treat her with awe.

Treating her as the second master in the house completely is a treatment that Lianzhou can't even imagine, but it has become the norm since weekdays.

"What are you thinking about?"

The sudden sound shocked Lian Zhou back to his senses, turned his head to look, and Zhou Jing smiled at her with crooked eyes, stepped forward two steps, passed her with one hand, and propped it on the edge of the dressing table.

The fresh vanilla scent lingered on the tip of her nose, Lian Zhou was startled and ashamed, and blushed before saying anything: "Ah Jing, you, don't be like this."

For the sake of being so ambiguous as friends, she was even more at a loss as to how to deal with it.What I want to say has already been said, this person turns a deaf ear and behaves recklessly, but he knows how to judge the size very well, and often teaches her that it's okay to be angry, and it's okay not to be angry.

After all, if you don't hate it, you don't hate it, but it doesn't mean you have to accept it.

In a daze, she flipped through her mind for several miles, and Zhou Jing was frustrated by her many times, but at this moment, she seemed to be fine, and smiled happily.

Lian Zhou couldn't stand "him" laughing like this.

He smiles more seductively and softly than a woman, but you think "he" is soft and soft, with long eyebrows raised, and can pick out the indescribable unruliness.

Straightforward, not serious.

There were traces of heat on her face, she turned her face away, and a sigh floated from her lips, if she didn't know this person would not mess around, how could she rest assured to continue this three-month contract in the long run?

Not to mention in the men's room, wearing a bathrobe, thinking about nothing else.

She trusts Ah Jing.

As for the person whom she trusted with Qingyu all her life, the corners of her lips curled up in a beautiful arc, and she pulled out a delicate flower covered in water mist from her cuff as if by magic.

"Give it to you."

This is not the first time she gave Lianzhou flowers, but it was the first time she noticed the flash of surprise in the girl's eyes at the moment of sending flowers.

She also rejoiced.

A girl is like sugar, she tastes something new for a while, and the more she tastes, the more she tastes, the sweetness and glutinousness grind people, so that she becomes addicted and can't stop.

Eighteen or nine years old, according to Aunt Hua, is a good time to talk about love.

Lianzhou was pleased by a flower, and wanted to get up and put the flower branch into a beautiful white porcelain vase, but when she saw the beautiful appearance that was so close at hand, she stopped breathing: "You, you should get out of the way."

Her tone was helpless, with a little arrogance that her daughter's family couldn't bear, and Zhou Jing was clever and obedient: "I'll help you up."

It's not like I can't get up!

But she couldn't help her, and she couldn't ruin their relationship because of such trivial things, Lianzhou was beating a small drum in her heart, and thought: What should I do?Like this, what's going on like this.

It is true that a strong girl is afraid of pestering her husband, but...

She put the delicate flower into a white porcelain vase soaked in clear water, thinking that it would be best for this flower to live for a few more days.

"It's late at night, it's time to sleep."

"Understood." Followed by the girl's wordless sigh.

The inner room sank into a pale twilight, lying down in his own nest, Lian Zhou tilted his head and looked at the bed a few steps away, he hesitated to speak, his lower lip was bitten to leave a faint tooth mark, but he still didn't realize it.

Maybe wait until A Jing gets tired of it.

I fell into a dream with indescribable sadness. In the dream, at the end of the river, peach blossoms cascaded down, and a woman in a long snow-white dress walked slowly with a smile that was not a smile.

The eyes are clear and determined, looking at himself, as if watching an inescapable prey in a fine net.

"No, no, don't..."

The murmurs dissipated in the dark inner room. At some point, Day Jing's eyes opened, and he lifted the gauze sideways to look at the little girl who was dreaming not far away. She was curious, what kind of dream was this, why not?Why not?

When the sky was about to dawn, Lianzhou woke up with a strange dream in his arms, drenched in sweat, glanced at the bed in a hurry, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Sitting up in a daze, she kneaded her slightly frowning brows in confusion: "It can't be delayed, she has to make it clear with Ah Jing."

She didn't want to play with him, and she couldn't afford to play the charming game of gambling with sincerity.

The wet and soft handkerchief wiped away the remaining drowsiness, Zhou Jing was dressed in thin clothes, and looked in surprise at the girl who took the initiative to sit beside her.A bad premonition arose in my heart, and I inexplicably thought of the ravings that the girl struggled and shouted at night.

She smiled and asked, "Zhou Zhou, what's wrong with me?"

The maidservants withdrew in a file, and the well-dressed Lian Zhou pinched her fingertips, her red lips pursed with a hint of grievance, and her eyes were resentful: "A Jing, I don't like vague ambiguity, you said that you treated me just a little bit." If you like Duo Hua, then I'm bored, bored, I regard you as my best friend for life, and I don't want to be born because of it, so don't tease me anymore, okay?"

The moment she opened her mouth, Zhou Jing's heart suddenly turned cold.

Feel at ease, although she meant to have fun, but she really wanted to taste the taste of love. Seeing the determination in the other party's eyes, she opened her mouth.

"Ah Jing, listen to me first." What Lianzhou dislikes most is procrastination. If she doesn't really care about the day scene, how can it be worth her worrying about it for days?

She sighed: "I am dedicated to learning. I am above the sea of ​​learning, and I cannot tolerate half-heartedness. You are beautiful, have a prominent family background, and are talented. What kind of woman do you want? Whenever you wave your hand or give a look, how much is it?" You are a daughter of a family who is devoted to you, what am I?

It is my honor to be your best friend.I dare not ask for too much.I don't want to worry about gains and losses, look forward and backward, and doubt your sincerity.It's good to be friends.Can be a long time, talk about everything. "

She let go of her pale pink lips, and she only said in a breathy voice: "Stop teasing my heart."

You know that you are beautiful and beautiful.

Who in the world is not good at color?I'm just a layman too.

"Zhou Zhou..."

"I'm done." She hastily pushed the door open, leaving Zhou Jing alone to look at herself in the mirror.

This is, is it driving people into a hurry?

She held her forehead silently.

The rain that lasted for four days finally subsided, the sun broke through the stratus clouds, and the sky was blue.

Baihe Academy, Women's Academy.

Lianzhou leaned against the window in a daze, until a cold snort came, and her eyelashes moved slightly.

On the side of the desk, a woman in a pear-white long dress was chatting and joking with everyone. She listened in a trance, probably mocking her for not being able to answer the questions asked by her master in the school, which meant that she was lucky enough to become Mrs. Zhou Jing.

Hearing too much gossip and gossip is annoying, and Lian Zhou's emptied mind came back, and he quietly opened the book, reviewing the old and learning the new.

Her background is weak, and she can't compare to a daughter from a family with good conditions. There are 33 students in the school, and her academic performance is at the bottom, which caused everyone to criticize her.Some even came to her face to accuse her of losing face and the honor of the family head for a hundred years.

The crime is too great for Lianzhou to bear, so he can only work harder.

The cynicism in the school didn't stop because of this, Song Ran stared straight at Lian Zhou with a hint of confusion.

"Dye sister?"

Song Ran grabbed her sleeves and approached cautiously: "Sister Lianzhou, I don't understand. The master asked me today, you should be the most familiar person among all..."

"I should know best?"

"That's right, both "Mingyan Body" and "Bailiu" were created by Patriarch Zhou.The master of the day family is talented, low-key and humble, and above all academics, if you don't understand something, you should ask him for advice. "

If the loving couple in the mouths of the people in Xunyang City knew that Mrs. Zhou didn't even understand her own husband's original handwriting, I'm afraid there would be many rumors.

Lianzhou carefully hid the surprise that came out of his heart, and pondered for a moment: "Sister Ran, what kind of person is Ah Jing?"

"Master Zhou..." Song Ran recalled the handsome young man dressed in red a few years ago.

"The owner of the Zhou family was able to carry the golden signboard of the head of the family when he was young, which was very remarkable at the time. If someone who is a round older than him takes charge of the family business, it may not be half as prosperous as the current family of the Zhou family.

Mr. Zhou has few geniuses, he is calm, elegant and gentle, and treats people kindly

, Acting casually and sometimes extraordinarily fastidious.He is a contradictory person, beautiful and arrogant.His eyes are clean, and when he laughs, he often gives people the illusion of playing in the world.But I think it is probably because he was born too well that the world misunderstood him so much. "

"So, you see, just because he is so kind, more and more people are envious of Lian Zhou."

The sun shines on Xiyan Lake, and the slightly dry wind blows gently, sparkling the lake surface.Lianzhou sat by the lake depressed, regretting what he said in the morning, even if he wanted to say it, he had to be gentler.

Speaking of which, Ah Jing knew that she understood her, took her out of the shadow of childhood nightmares, encouraged her ideals and aspirations, and firmly believed that she could do better.

As a close friend, she knew very little about him, let alone that they were a loving couple in name and had the closest relationship in the world.It's no wonder that when she was questioned by the teacher, her classmates cast puzzled and even sarcastic looks at her.

Lian Zhou blamed himself and covered his face.

Shen Duan looked at it for a while, then stepped forward lightly.

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared on the water, Lianzhou looked back, and when he saw who was coming, he stood up and saluted with a respectful tone: "Meet the dean..."

"Um……"

Shen Duan was indifferent, and the scene was slightly stiff.

Fortunately, the girl smiled brightly, and timely relieved the slightly dull atmosphere: "Can the dean tell the story of Senior Shen to the students?"

When mentioning his late mother, Shen Duan's face softened, and he showed a rare faint smile at her.

"My mother has devoted her whole life to promoting women's education, but it's a pity that the world has failed her..."

This is a story that was passionate at first, but was finally defeated by reality and stained with sadness. Shen Yu was admired in the first half of his life. In a world where men are respected, he became a great Confucian in the world. , A flower bloomed in the coldest place.

Lost to the world.

"The women's courtyard 30 years ago was a joke. I think 30 years later, there should be some changes. My mother said, I want to do it boldly." Shen Duan stared at the reflection of the girl on the water, "You say , how many of them really came to study?"

"But hope, isn't it just passed down from generation to generation?" Lianzhou said in a daze: "It doesn't matter how much she cares. After all, the women's courtyard is no longer a dry courtyard."

"Ok?"

"Students' insights..."

"No, what you said is very good." Shen Duan observed his words and expressions, and asked in a low voice: "Are you in a bad mood?" She paused, "Teacher, you can tell me something about it."

She rarely took the initiative to chat with people, and looked away uncomfortably.

Lianzhou didn't expect to hear warm concern from the strict teacher, she smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, I just feel that I acted a bit arbitrary after all, misunderstood the other party's intentions, and I still have to learn how to behave in the world."

The conversation ended quickly, and Lianzhou returned to the school and found that the brush was broken, so she endured it for the time being in the spirit of peace.

When she first entered the women's courtyard, it was too late to absorb the truth from the scroll, so she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing her sitting down, Song Ran said in a low voice: "The Cui family is the prince's confidant, they act so recklessly, they probably have nothing to fear."

Lianzhou was not interested in the division of forces in the court, but Song Ran was right.Soon, she knew that Cui Zhi was relying on someone's power to dare to openly tear herself apart with her.

In the afternoon, His Highness the Eleventh, the Fifteenth, and the Seventeenth officially became the students of the Women's Academy.

Seeing Cui Zhi again, she stood proudly behind Li Shiqi.

"I heard that you made a big joke in school." Li Shiqi stood with his hands behind his back, holding a soft whip that never left his body.

The golden and precious princess came down in a menacing way, and Lian Zhou, bearing the title of Mrs. Zhou Jing, seemed to have committed public anger.

Jealousy was like fire, and Li Shiqi's eyes were bursting with flames.Looking at them, looking at these noble royals, Lianzhou once again sighed that there are too many people who want to replace them as "Mrs. Day" worthy of the name. "Brother Jing from the fifteenth to the nineteenth, all his glorious deeds are very precious to this princess. You say that Brother Jing loves you, but you don't even know his original "Mingyan Body" and "White Fluid"..." His Royal Highness Seventeen Touching his chin, he smiled lightly: "Could it be a lie?" If His Royal Highness the Seventeenth is in doubt, you can ask Ah Jing directly.After school, I should go. "

"Stop! Did this princess let you go?" Li Shiqi took two steps forward and said angrily, "Brother Jing is in the mud, how can he be worthy of Brother Jing, who is the most talented and beautiful man in Kyushu? Get out of this—"

"Give up this seat?" Rationality told Lianzhou to be patient and silent, and she sneered when the words came to her lips: "Is the reason for giving up to His Royal Highness the Seventeenth Prince? Ah Jing doesn't like arrogant and arrogant people like you."

The surrounding audience gasped. It was really hard to imagine that the person who was usually bullied by Cui Zhi and kept silent would be so shameless when facing the current princess?

Li Shiqi suddenly changed his face: "You are presumptuous!"

Lianzhou thought to herself, people really can't get used to it, she was pampered by Ah Jing, facing Li Shiqi's provocation, she couldn't even bear it for a while.Suddenly, she had a thought that she wanted to go back to the house early, and she didn't want to see the angry, embarrassed and angry faces in front of her again.

How could it be so easy for her to leave?

Fortunately, at this time, the car that symbolized the head of the family drove not far away in time.

Inside the carriage, Zhou Jing rubbed her face, crushing the little melancholy, how could she let Zhou Zhou understand that she didn't mean to play tricks?

"Patriarch, the academy is here."

Li Shiqi hastily threw the soft whip to Cui Zhi, seeing Cui Zhi hid the whip, she admired it in her heart, and trotted towards someone from a distance.

"Brother Jing!"

Zhou Jing's pretty face changed slightly, her smile faltered, and she looked past her at the girl in Confucian uniform not far away.

"Zhou Zhou!"

The joy in the voice can't deceive anyone, not to mention how the Seventeenth Highness who was ignored felt, where no one was paying attention, the Fifteenth Highness set off a gloomy and terrifying storm in his eyes, looking at Lian Zhou, with deep-seated jealousy in the cold .

The coolness of the sudden climbing on the back made Lianzhou stop and turn around.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing..." She felt ashamed of what she said in the morning. Maybe those people were right. She didn't understand the real daytime scene at all. Still hiding secrets that are not known to outsiders?

"Brother Jing?"

"Brother Ah Jing..."

Li Shiqi and Li Shiwu spoke one after another, surrounded by many aristocratic girls who were out of school, Zhou Jing was deeply bored, without saying anything, he took Lianzhou and got into the carriage.

go away...

She watched less than half of today's battle, and the eyes of the day scene were closed. The princesses of the royal family are used to willfulness, domineering, and paranoid, and none of them are easy to get along with.

Thinking of the vaguely guilty look on the girl from Cui's family when she saw her, she thought to herself, Zhou Zhou was probably bullied.

"Silly girl..." she whispered.

First, I suspected that her intentions were not pure, and that her liking was too frivolous, and then I was afraid that I would fall into the pit of beauty and be unable to extricate myself and get hurt. I was in an academy, and I didn't know how to ask her to be my backer when I was bullied by a family girl. As the saying goes, "I will cry." The child has milk to eat", and Zhou Zhou is not too good at "crying".

The carriage is spacious, and Lianzhou's hearing is excellent, naturally she didn't miss the humming sound, is she stupid?She smiled helplessly.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Jing raised his eyes brightly and asked in a leisurely manner.

Lianzhou still smiled slightly, resting her chin on one hand, wearing the large Confucian gown of the women's court, which concealed her plump figure, making her thin and beautiful, "Jiao" who could be picked up and held in her arms with one hand .

Zhou Jing was amused by the picture he imagined, his long eyelashes flickered and he saw the girl looking at her with interest: "Ah Jing, can I get to know you again?"

The agreed "re-acquaintance", then overthrow of the old things, means to Zhou Jing one more chance to pursue the little girl, so he was secretly excited for a while on the way home.

This feeling is never had before.There is wonder everywhere.

Soon, at night, she understood the intention of Miss Zhou Zhou's words.

The shy girl came to the study with a thick book in her arms: "Ah Jing, can you help me out?"

Get to know him again, starting from getting to know his full of talent and learning.

Day scene: "..."

Zhou Jing could only recognize it with a dull face.

"It's fine to teach you, but you can't embarrass me. Also, your handwriting is not beautiful enough."

Lian Zhou showed a [-]-point obedience, her back was straight, she listened carefully under the light, and she was taught with an open mind.

One person teaches wholeheartedly, the other devotes himself to learning, the world's most talented seedling for learning, if he meets a girl with weak foundation, if she doesn't consider that this person is the candidate she was attracted to at the beginning, Zhou Jing's "too stupid" seems to be on the verge of death blurted out.

Lian Zhou looked over meaningfully, and Zhou Jing swallowed the unkind words of admonishment in time.

Thinking about it carefully, the girl is talented and intelligent, but someone is impatient.

Want to see her better.

Better……

It is best to reborn overnight.

It is impossible to think.

On summer nights, there is an elegant light fragrance in the inner room.

The girl covered with a thin quilt slightly frowned, she thought unkindly, if Ah Jing showed this attitude to chase people, he would have to take many detours.

Closing her eyes, she chose to let herself go.

That's all, don't think about it, don't get entangled, it doesn't matter if he is true or not.Marriage is ordained by heaven, what kind of heart is she playing with?

Fortunately for me, there is no need to force it.

It happened to be a holiday, and I saw off the girl Zhouzhou who was going to the academy. Half a quarter of an hour later, the "freshly baked" fox master followed the girl on her way to study, wagging her fluffy and white tail.

She wanted to see if there was anything else she didn't know about.

Walking halfway, she shook the furry fox's head and thought to herself: It's really difficult to hook Zhouzhou and have an interesting love affair with her.
