Lotus Carp (GL)

Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

I don't know what way she thought of, but with such a big plan, no way can avoid the great risk.

But I didn't stop her.The brilliance in her eyes when she talked about this plan, and the expectant look in my mother's eyes when she asked someone to count the auspicious times for me, all told me that I only had this way to go, and I also believed that she could go this way.

I stubbornly believe that we parted ways in the misty and rainy Gusu, and we will meet again in the cloud-covered capital next time.

During the months of waiting for her, I ordered my personal maid to secretly find the bright red fabric and the raw materials for making lotus and carp incense, and hide from everyone and start embroidering the dowry.

Xipa, Xifu, quilts and pillowcases for mandarin ducks to play in the water, and all kinds of sachets are the most embroidered, with prepared lotus carp incense, which has almost become the material sustenance for me to miss Ah Li.

I carefully hide these embroideries in the bottom layer of the closet, like hiding my anxious thoughts.

Chapter 13 Chapter 13

There are more than four months, whether it is long or not, or whether it is short or not.Even if it's three autumns a day, I finally made it to this day.

I was called to the main hall by my parents, and there was a father-in-law in purple and a high crown sitting on top of me, with a bright yellow scroll in his hand that was particularly eye-catching.

Before I had time to be surprised or happy, I hurriedly knelt down on the cushion that had been prepared in front of me, took the imperial decree from my father-in-law, and the sachet that I was all too familiar with.

"My daughter, thank you Lord Ron."

As soon as the father-in-law who announced the decree was sent away, the smile on the corner of my mouth had not faded, and I turned around and saw my father throwing the teacup on the ground.

"It's really deceiving!"

Before I understood what happened, I saw my mother who was sitting on the side wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Is there no one in the Liu family who bullies me? Just a decree wants to point our Zhuolian to a blind man? What a wishful thinking !"

"What? Didn't the imperial decree announced just now say that the daughter should be handed over to the new champion? How could she be blind?" I was even more confused, and a series of questions blurted out.

"Lian'er, you are a boudoir lady. The outside news is unknown but it is normal. It is widely spread! It is said that Jiang Zhuangyuan, who was named on the gold list, had an accident at the Qionglin Banquet, and his eyes were injured by sharp objects. , I can’t see things anymore.” After the initial rage, my father finally calmed down a bit and told me all the news from the outside world.

"It's also embarrassing. The champion of the new department is just at the time when he is showing his grand plans. What happened to the champion? What about the champion? Those with physical disabilities are not allowed to enter the officialdom. They are full of talents and have no place to display them. It is also a pitiful... ..."

"Poor? Go pity him, who will pity my daughter?" Before the father finished speaking, the mother screamed sharply: "Could it be that the emperor hurt his eyes, and he was guilty, and used my daughter as a favor to appease people's hearts?"

Seeing my mother becoming more and more unscrupulous and emotionally unstable, my father looked at me reassuringly, and hastily said: "Don't worry, Lian'er, no matter what method we use, your mother and I will never wrong you to marry me." Blind." I helped my mother back to the room, and kept my mouth shut when I said "My daughter is willing to marry".

The main hall that had just experienced this farce finally fell silent at this moment.I stood there dumbfounded, digesting the fact that Ah Li was blind for a while.

The gentle eyes that looked at my back when they sent me home.

The sleepy eyes when they met again in the Red Line Pavilion.

The eyes full of love that stared at me when I was feeding the fish with me.

Teach me the radiant eyes when I read poetry, the joyful eyes when I received the sachet, and the firm eyes when I parted at the end...Scenes of memories flashed vividly in front of my eyes, and I couldn't restrain them. A tear rolled down and disappeared into the dark ground.

In the past few months, how much have you suffered, my A Li.

Chapter 14 Chapter 14

Nearly half a month has passed since the day when the edict of marriage was announced.

After learning that Ah Li was blind that day, I couldn't hold it back. I cried until I almost fainted in the main hall. When I was brought back by the maid, I caught a cold and couldn't get sick.I take food supplements, medicine supplements and take good care of my body every day.I want to take good care of my body as soon as possible, show my attitude to my parents, get married as soon as possible, and meet her as soon as possible.But this recuperation probably cannot be rushed, even if I am extremely anxious every day, the disease can only improve a little bit, and it has not recovered completely until now.

I leaned on the couch embroidering purses boredly, thinking wildly, and I didn't know what happened to my mother when she became anxious that day.Strange to say, I have been sick for so many days, and I only heard about Lan Zhou, the personal maid sent by my mother to take care of me when I was sick. Dad seemed busy all day.In the beginning, there was Lan Zhou chatting with me to relieve boredom, but in recent days, Lan Zhou didn't know what he was busy with, so I placed an order.

I shook my head and didn't think about what I had, and I lowered my head to embroider the purse in my hand. I had only embroidered two stitches, but I heard the sound of gongs, drums and suona from the west.

It was the sound of guards of honor!A bad premonition suddenly surged in my heart.I pushed the door and it was locked from the outside.I hurriedly opened the closet, and the dowry things I had saved up these days really disappeared.

I kept tapping on the locked doors and windows.The maids in the small courtyard seemed to have gone to the west to help, and my voice was covered by festive gongs and drums.No one came to see me, I listened to the sound of gongs and drums gradually fade away, and stared at my red and swollen hands in a daze.

I didn't cry anymore, I knew I had to get well, I knew I had to escape.

Chapter 15 Chapter 15

Facts have proved that the mixture of many emotions such as anxiety, depression, and restlessness is not conducive to the improvement of the condition.By the time I finally had the strength to move around, another month passed.

There is a big girl by my side, and now this maid named Hongfu is in charge of the daily affairs in my house.I can guess where Cuixiu went, but I don't want to communicate with my parents about it anymore. After all, they didn't communicate with me when they locked me in the room that day.

"Lian'er, seeing that your complexion is better today, the mother is relieved." The mother's face was full of worry, and she hesitated to speak, but she finally opened her mouth: "The gift of the marriage?" Jiang Li didn't know what he had committed, and he was sentenced to exile in Fengzhou, and I heard that he passed through Gusu a few days ago."

Seeing that my face was still calm, Mother was a little relieved, and her tone was no longer probing, "Father and Mother are also doing it for your own good... You see, if you were really married back then, wouldn't you be married to a blind man who is guilty now? At that time, father and mother don't need to worry more? You..."

"Mother, my child understands." I interrupted my mother who was still about to start this topic, and looked at her seriously. "Since the marriage was bestowed by the Son of Heaven, although Qin and Jin were not married, it was also a fate. Now that he is exiled, it is reasonable to pray for him, right?"

"My daughter wants to go to Guangyang Temple tomorrow to pray for her parents, and also to worship the Buddha for the number one scholar in exile."

"That's fine. You've been sick for so long. When you go out this time, you should relax and take care of your body. When you come back from praying this time, forget about it. Mom will discuss it with your father carefully. Pick a son-in-law who can ride the dragon quickly." My mother looked at me in silence for a long time, and finally said.

Chapter 16 Chapter 16

The wheels are rolling, and I am on my way to Guangyang Temple.

Today, I, with exquisite gold and silver jewelry all over my head and body, with heavy jade pendants and purses on my waist, am marching towards Guangyang Temple in the suburbs of the city, accompanied by Hong Fu and Lan Zhou.

No one knows, a crazy plan is brewing in my heart.

When I arrived at Guangyang Temple, I walked past the Hongxian Pavilion and the Marriage Tree, the small stone table where I played chess with Jingli, the window under Jingli's study, the vegetable garden in the backyard, and finally came to He The small pond where Jing carp fed the fish together.

"Hongfu, I want to feed the fish. Go to the front yard and ask the little monk in charge of the fish pond for some fish food." Hongfu responded and went.

"Lan Zhou, I'm thirsty, go find a cup of tea." Looking at Hong Fu's back, I turned to let Lan Zhou go.
