[Comprehensive] Code of conduct for famous ministers

The beauty in the mirror has exquisite makeup and a fiery wedding dress. She is three points more beautiful than usual, but the expression on her face does not match her current attire at all.

The shyness and joy of the bride can't be found on the slightly powdered face, and there is only touching melancholy between the brows that are as beautiful as distant mountains.

She really wanted to laugh, tonight is extremely important to any woman, the wedding dress on her body is very festive, she made it herself stitch by stitch, and the jewelry is also very beautiful, it is the best Jin Yuxuan in the city Just delivered a few days ago.

When she was young, she also secretly imagined what her future wedding would look like with red cheeks.The current situation is not much different from what he once imagined. The only thing that has changed is that the groom has changed.

Lin Shiyin and Li Xunhuan are real childhood sweethearts, they grew up together, and the elders in the family are also happy to see the friendship between the two, so she never thought that she would marry anyone other than Li Xunhuan, but now, who would she like to marry? The man who entrusted everything failed her.

In the dressing box next to the mirror was Li Yuan's land deed, which was her dowry, which was given to her by Li Xunhuan himself. Thinking of the congratulations that the other party said that day, Lin Shiyin felt a great pain in her heart, and stretched out her hand to remove the dressing box. Push far away.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and it was the maid who was guarding outside who came to urge her. Lin Shiyin raised her voice so that people would retreat. Then, she looked at the person in the mirror, raised her lips, and forced a smile.

It's just a new groom, the wedding is still a wedding, it's just this once in a lifetime, she has no reason not to smile, and tomorrow, she will stand in front of Li Xunhuan with such a smile, and tell him that even without him, she Will be very happy too.

......

"Ah—" A sigh sounded, "The bride should be happy, how can smiling be uglier than crying..."

Lin Shiyin, who was immersed in her own thoughts, was startled by the sudden voice. She looked for the reputation, and saw the young man carrying the violin case smiling at her through the window, with a warm and gentle smile.

"Mr. Yan?!" Lin Shiyin got up and leaned slightly towards him. Even at this time, she did not lose her courtesy, "Why are you here, sir?" At this time, he should be drinking in the front hall and waiting to watch the ceremony. .

Yan Xiubai smiled, "It's just that the night is pretty good today, so let's go out for a walk, and by the way, would you like to come with me?"

When he said this, although he was smiling, his eyes were very serious, and there was no sign of joking at all. What's more, at this moment, at this moment, to a bride who is about to marry, he can make such a joke, It's just an insult.

Lin Shiyin frowned, she was not ashamed, but a little strange, she didn't know much about Yan Xiubai, she just lived in Li Yuan, met a few times occasionally, just nodded to say hello, more understanding came from Li Xunhuan In the years when he was an official, he would mention a few words to his best friend every time he wrote to him, which caused Lin Shiyin to have a good impression of Yan Xiubai's character and character. Such an inappropriate sentence made Lin Shiyin puzzled.

Yan Xiubai saw this doubt, he sighed and said, "You don't look forward to this wedding, do you? Since you don't like it, why do you reluctantly agree?"

Lin Shiyin's face turned pale, and she put away all her expressions. She was indifferent and melancholy, as if she had put on a thick protective cover in an instant, "So what if you like it, so what if you don't like it, the wedding is about to start, so you should go back to the front first." Hall."

Of course Yan Xiubai didn't leave, he just remained silent for a moment, and then said abruptly, "Li Xunhuan is gone."

Lin Shiyin didn't understand at first, but gradually, her autumn-like pupils began to ripple.

The air was dull, and just when Yan Xiubai was thinking about how to comfort her, Lin Shiyin suddenly turned around, sat back in front of the dressing table, and put on a string of pearl earrings in front of the mirror...

Yan Xiubai wanted to sigh again. Both of them were unusually awkward and stubborn. He said, "Miss Lin and Li Xunhuan are cousins ​​of childhood sweethearts. What kind of person do you think he is?"

Lin Shiyin was silent.

Yan Xiubai didn't care, and said directly: "I have known him for four years, and my understanding of him may not be as deep as that of Miss Lin, but there are still six or seven points. Back then, Li Tanhua was full of talent, handsome, and was highly regarded by the emperor. , the future is limitless, many people are very optimistic about him, and the chief assistant, Mr. Yang, once wanted to betroth his daughter to him."

"You may not know that the daughters of Yang Shoufu's family are all very good-looking and good-natured, and they are also well-known among the noble girls in the capital, and her family background is there. If she marries Li Xunhuan, she might not be so angry. He resigned and returned to his hometown, but he refused, saying that he already had a beauty at home, and how many people secretly called him a fool at that time!"

Lin Shiyin's eyebrows moved slightly, "What the hell are you trying to say?!"

"A person who is called a fool, do you think he is really a vagabond? A poor person who abandons his love for the beauty outside?"

Yan Xiubai didn't believe it, maybe Li Xunhuan's acting was really good, but even he could see through things, he didn't believe that Lin Shiyin, his childhood sweetheart, would not be able to see through, anyone might doubt Li Xunhuan's character, but she should be The most steadfast one is right.

After a long silence, Lin Shiyin's trembling voice sounded, "Maybe he won't give up his love for those beauties of all kinds, but he will give up his love for a sworn brother..."

At the beginning, maybe she was confused because of caring, and she couldn't see things clearly, but Lin Shiyin was never a stupid person. She was sensitive, intelligent, and thoughtful. She didn't say many things, but it didn't mean she didn't know, but she was Knowing that makes it even more painful.

"Since he wants me to marry, then I will marry him..."

But she didn't expect that he had already left without even looking at him, and he might never come back again.

Yan Xiubai frowned, "Is it worth it to lose my life's happiness just to get angry?"

Lin Shiyin took the bright red hijab at the side, carefully stroked the mandarin ducks embroidered on it by herself, and said depressedly: "It's not all for anger, Li Xunhuan is not only someone I like, he is also my cousin." Brother, he is my only living relative..." He asked her to marry, but she had no choice but to marry.

The eldest brother is like a father. There seems to be a saying that although Lin Shiyin and the others are in different situations, they are similar. Yan Xiubai has been in this world for more than four years, and he does not know anything. At least the women in this world are older than him. Tang is much weaker.

Obedience to the father at home, obedience to the husband when married, the things that women in this world follow are absolutely torn apart in every minute among those women in the Tang Dynasty who are sometimes fiercer than men.

Although Yan Xiubai understands it, he doesn't agree with it. In his opinion, such an approach is too weak. Aside from natural physical strength, women are no worse than men in any other way.

"Have you ever thought that there are other lives besides getting married?"

Yan Xiubai turned around and looked, the place where Lin Shiyin lives is naturally elegant, there are a few old plum trees not far away that can only be embraced by several grown men, the season is not right now, when winter comes, one can imagine that What a kind of elegance with dark fragrance and full sleeves.

"The outside world is vast and boundless, and it exhausts the great rivers and mountains that a person can't go through in a lifetime, but a woman's life is only to marry and have children, and move from one house to another. All she sees is this small one. A piece of heaven and earth, an extremely safe but regrettable life."

This kind of statement is really - strange, Lin Shiyin thought for a long time before using such a word to describe it, but it is undeniable that her heart beat faster at this moment. Although her father was also a man in the world, but she Growing up in Li Yuan, she was raised as a lady in the boudoir. Her words and deeds conform to the etiquette of a famous lady. Even if her cousin is from the Jianghu, she never thought that she would one day walk out of Li Yuan.

"Taking a step back, even if you want to get married, there are so many men in the world, why do you have to choose between these two men? Etiquette and dogma, it's okay to break free after being bound for a long time!"

"What should I do, what can I do..." Lin Shiyin was at a loss like never before.

Yan Xiubai turned over and entered the room, pulled out the bright red hijab in her hand little by little, then threw it casually, and said, "Come with me, and let your cousin see, not just everything is in his hands. under control."

When he said these words, he was no longer that ordinary down-and-out scholar, a kind of sharp and unruly permeated from his bones, like a sword hidden in a box, only the point when it was unsheathed A cold light is enough to stab people.

The bright red veil was lying on the ground like a useless rag. When the night wind blew, it rolled and floated to an inconspicuous corner.

As for the upcoming wedding, Yan Xiubai said, who cares about him! !

A big event happened in Baoding City recently. Originally, the famous Li family in Baoding City was going to have a wedding, but on the day of the wedding, the bride disappeared. At the same time, the head of the Li family also disappeared, so some people speculated whether it was the Li family. Tanhualang of the family elopes with his bride.

Originally, this Li Tanhua and the bride are cousins ​​of childhood sweethearts. It is not uncommon to have some feelings, but a righteous brother came in halfway. Li Tanhua originally wanted to reluctantly part with each other for the sake of brotherhood, but in the end the hero still has no more. Beauty Pass, on the night of the wedding, Li Tanhua couldn't hold back his heartache, so he eloped with the bride, leaving only an auditorium without the bride for the groom.

The above is the story passed down from the mouth of the storyteller in Baoding City, and it is also the version that everyone thinks is the truth.

Even Long Xiaoyun, the person involved, thought so in his heart, because there was no other possibility except this.

However, he couldn't confirm this guess. That wedding was embarrassing for any man, and he couldn't make himself more embarrassed. He only claimed to the outside world that the bride's disappearance was due to an accident and she was kidnapped. Then he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find the "captive" bride.

At this time, Lin Shiyin had followed Yan Xiubai to the south, far away from Baoding City...
