Li Tong's heart was extremely chaotic, thinking about it in the east and thinking about it in the west, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became.
"Girl, that Wei Niangzi" Shui Lian lifted the curtain and came in, before she finished speaking, Wei Fengniang poked out half of her head from Shui Lian's shoulder, "It's me, our seventh master is here, I have something to tell you." ” Li Tong jumped down from the kang at once, "Hurry up, get dressed" The Zhou family forced the eldest princess like this, maybe this matter was inseparable from Ning Yuan, he must know a lot of things Shui Lian hurriedly hugged the clothes and came over, dressed Li Tong very quickly, curled her hair, put the cloak on her, and just walked to the door, Wei Fengniang stepped on the threshold with one foot, and turned around and said: "It's windy outside, it's cold, put on the cloak and hat." ” Shui Lian, who was following behind, hurriedly pulled up her hat and put it on Li Tong's head, Li Tong pulled it, wrapped it tightly, and followed Wei Fengniang out.
The Li family's house in the capital is not big, and the small courtyard where Li Tong lives does not have a small garden, which is not as convenient as Wisteria Villa.
"Our lord is in the gatehouse of the West Corner Gate, the girl looks" Wei Fengniang looked at Li Tong and asked.
"There it is."
Since Mrs.
Zhang moved to Wisteria Villa to accompany her daughter, the West Corner Gate has been locked and never opened, and there is no need to be manned, and the two gatehouses have been empty.
The West Corner Gate is the closest to Li Tong's courtyard, and it is very secluded, which is indeed very suitable for this kind of meeting that is not humane.
Seeing Li Tong approaching, Ning Yuan came out of the gatehouse, and Li Tong passed him into the gatehouse, "Let's talk in the house." ” The moonlight outside was faint, and the porter was so dark that it was not much different from reaching out to see the five fingers, and when she entered the house, Li Tong only felt that it was dark in front of her, Ning Yuan's eyesight was obviously much better than Li Tong, and she moved the chair and put it where she could feel it, "Sit, it's wiped, it's clean." ” "Although these two rooms are locked, they have to be cleaned every other day."
Li Tong answered, the things in this room are clean if they are not wiped.
In the dark, Li Tong couldn't see Ning Yuan's expression, only heard the sound of him moving the chair, and vaguely, he felt that he was sitting opposite her, as if he was very close.
"The eldest princess was summoned to the palace this morning."
Li Tong went straight to the point.
"I've heard that."
"Forced marriage with the Guogong Mansion, what you have done" Li Tong's voice was not good.
Ning Yuan looked at her, and his words were cautious, "No, I can't reach the Suiguo Mansion, I just asked the young master a few words on Saturday, the eldest princess can't marry next year, and she will marry the year after, but she won't marry until she is in her thirties." ” Li Tong sat straight, it was really related to him, and it was really related to himself, sure enough Is it right or wrong to do this, if it was because of her outstretched hand, because of Ning Yuan's instigation, the tragedy of swallowing gold was advanced "The eldest princess will be fine."
Seeing Li Tong sitting upright without saying a word, Ning Yuan felt a little apprehensive in his heart, and couldn't help but soften his voice and said with relief.
"You don't understand" Li Tong's voice was faintly eager and sharp, she pushed it, but if the eldest princess didn't rush forward as she thought, but fled with discouragement "Listen to me," Ning Yuan was a little surprised, she had always been calm and made him feel excessive, this time he was so excited and eager, he was surprised, and a little unspeakably soft-hearted.
"Summoning the eldest princess into the palace, she must be asked to pick someone to nod, the eldest princess is almost thirty years old this year, and the queen mother has been picking people for her since she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she doesn't know how many times she has dealt with this kind of thing, she knows how to deal with this kind of thing too well, you don't have to worry about her."
But this time it's different Li Tong pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
She regretted it a little, she shouldn't have told him about the weakness of the eldest princess, she seemed to have an inexplicable trust in him, which was a trust that should not be had, and too strong.
He wants to do great things, do everything he can, all people, everything, what can be used, he will use it, otherwise he will have to be crushed.
He wasn't wrong, she shouldn't have trusted him.
Ning Yuan seemed to feel the different aura on Li Tong's body, and felt her alienation and vigilance.
"In the palace, I can't help it, it's not that I don't help" Ning Yuan didn't know where this change came from, and intuitively explained subconsciously.
"No, you don't."
Li Tong replied briefly with two words, if he had a way, maybe it would be worse.
"You don't have to worry."
Ning Yuan was even more uneasy, and wanted to make a joke to soothe it: "What can be a big deal to pick someone to marry, it's good, it's not good."
Li Tong's cold hair stood up at Ning Yuan's joke, stood up, strode out of the gatehouse, and ran back with him.
Ning Yuan came out after him, chased a few steps, looked at Li Tong who soon disappeared into the night, and stood for a while, the uneasiness in his heart became a little thicker, until it was as thick as tonight's night.
Ning Yuan walked out of the corner gate, did not ride a horse, looked down at the bluestone slab under his feet, went out of the alley, looked at the still lively street, and instructed Wei Fengniang, "Go and see where Saturday is, have you slept." ” "Yes."
Wei Fengniang retreated into the darkness.
Ning Yuan walked under the big red lanterns swaying in the wind with a faint slightness, his head bowed, his sleeves flickered, sometimes bright, sometimes dark.
The next day, Li Tong, Li Xin and Second Master Wen still had no news at all, Second Master Wen comforted Li Tong, who was already a little haggard, "Girl, don't worry, if you don't have a letter, it's the best letter, it's not good to have a letter, the eldest princess will definitely be fine, I think, the day after tomorrow, the eldest princess will definitely be able to go back to the other village outside the Baolin Nunnery." ” "Yes, if you don't have a letter, you're a good believer."
Li Xin followed behind Second Master Wen and comforted dryly, he is not very good at comforting people.
"I'm fine."
Li Tong said that it was okay, but his smile was a little reluctant.
What she is most afraid of is not that there is nothing to do, but the temper of the eldest princess, she is afraid that the palace will be in a hurry, and the eldest princess will use all that ruthlessness on herself like she did last time.
In addition to being afraid, there was also self-blame and confusion, she didn't know if she was helping the eldest princess or harming her "Girl," Second Master Wen looked at Li Tong and looked up at Li Xin again, "There are a few words, I have to talk to the girl." ” "Second master, please speak."
Li Tong bowed slightly.
"In the past few days, my uncle and I have been outside, paying attention to whether the eldest princess marries or not, I won't talk about it in the market, in their eyes, it is simply crazy not to marry, the area of Daxiangguo Temple, as well as the scholars in the area of Guozijian, when it comes to the eldest princess not marrying, they all feel that the eldest princess must have been coerced by the Zhou family, coercing her to marry the person they want her to marry, or coercing her to not let her marry the person she wants to marry
