Chapter Fifty-Six: The Young Master is in Distress
If Aunt Zhou remembers correctly, the Second Young Master Zhao who proposed to marry should be the son of Zhen Guo Gong’s original wife. This person’s identity is very embarrassing, especially with the situation at home, which makes people doubt Zhen Guo.
Did the Duke's wife deliberately encourage the Duke of Zhen to marry his second son to a daughter-in-law with a low family background and a poor reputation, so that he would no longer be able to aspire to be the heir apparent?
Not only Aunt Zhou, but almost everyone in Uncle Yuanping's house thought so.
But regardless of her status as the Duke of Zhenguo, Mrs. Cen agreed to the marriage without hesitation. Mrs. Xu's objections were useless. The interests of the family were above all else, so the marriage was settled.
Su Yiqing, who was far away in Baiyun Temple, knew nothing about it.
She was happily sneaking down the mountain to play with Xin'er.
Because Baiyun Nunnery is located in a dangerous location, the guards are not very strict. Besides, they are not prisoners. They give a familiar nun a little money to cover themselves up and make sure they come back before sunset. There are very few people on the mountain and there are no ferocious beasts.
Safety is guaranteed, and the nun doesn't think that a frail young lady like Su Yiqing can run down the mountain. It's just a young girl who wants to have fun and hang out nearby.
Su Yiqing finished her tea at the teahouse at the foot of the mountain, and took some special pastries that the proprietress of the teahouse had bought in the town, and then went back while admiring the scenery and nibbling pastries.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of rapid horse hooves behind them. The master and servant turned around, only to see a man and a horse galloping towards her, almost brushing against Su Yiqing's body. The dust raised by the horse's hooves splashed all over Su Yiqing's head and face.
"Bah, bah. What bad luck." Su Yiqing spit out and took a bite of the dusty pastry, and cursed repeatedly: "Didn't you see anyone? I really have no morals and no quality. I'm going to kill you if I ride so fast."
Xin'er, on the other hand, was dumbfounded with her mouth wide open.
Su Yiqing pushed her: "Shut your mouth, or you'll get a mouthful of ashes."
The core still doesn't move.
"Hey, aren't you, can you be scared like this?" Su Yiqing was very surprised.
"What a handsome young master." Xin'er finished speaking in a dreamy voice, and then said excitedly to Su Yiqing, "Miss. Miss, is this the prince riding the white horse you said?"
It turned out that this girl was not frightened, but was a nymphomaniac. Su Yiqing curled her lips disdainfully. Just now she was only eating cakes. She didn't see clearly what the knight looked like. She only saw that the horse was indeed a white horse, and the knight's
The flying black hair and posture are indeed very handsome.
"Let's go. Prince Charming can only appear in dreams. It's not dark yet. Let's go quickly, or it will be very troublesome if we can't get back before the sun sets." Su Yiqing pushed Xin'er and continued walking.
"Oh!" Xin'er also knew that such a dream was unrealistic. She was so stunning that she didn't care about it.
However, after walking for a while, I heard a horse neighing in front of me. The sound was very tragic, and it seemed that something had happened.
Su Yiqing and Xin'er looked at each other and ran quickly forward.
When she was very close to the sound, Su Yiqing stopped and listened carefully. There was no other sound except the horse's neighing, which ruled out robbers. Even so, Su Yiqing still asked Xin'er to stop where she was, and she ran over to take a look alone.
look.
Xin'er also knew that the young lady was good at Qinggong, and if there was any situation, she would not be able to run fast with her, so she nodded.
Su Yiqing used the ring to run to the scene of the accident, but she only saw a sleek white horse standing there and barking, with a cliff next to it.
Well, Su Yiqing admitted that she is a good person, and it seems that her curse has worked.
I ran to the edge of the cliff and poked my head, and I couldn't help but be surprised. This was really thrilling. The man grabbed an exposed old tree root two meters away from the top of the cliff, and hung it there. This road was probably in front of the cliff.
It had rained for two days and half of it collapsed. The soil around it was loose. I don't know how long the tree roots can hold on or how long the man's physical strength can hold on.
"Master, just hold on, I'll find a rope to rescue you." Su Yiqing knew that confidence was very important at this time, and she had to let the man know that he would be rescued immediately if he was discovered.
When the man heard the voice, he raised his head. His face was covered with mud and his hair was messy, but he could still tell that he looked young and his eyes were particularly bright.
After saying that, Su Yiqing immediately looked around to see if there was anyone passing by or any ropes or the like. However, this was the outskirts of the country and few people were passing by, so there would be no one there.
At this time, Xin'er also ran over. Seeing this situation, he had an idea and ran to the side of the mountain and pulled the ivy on the side of the mountain.
After pulling twice and nothing, Su Yiqing also thought that the old vines in the mountains were very strong and were used by the mountain people to tie things. She quickly took out a sharp dagger, which she had asked Su Jinxu to buy before.
For self-defense in the future, it is small but very sharp.
In just a few strokes, he cut off the green vines as thick as his thumb, and Xin'er deftly knitted the two strands of green vines together. He tested the strength and found that it would definitely be able to bear the weight of one or two people.
There were no big trees or rocks on the cliffside. The two of them tied one end of the ivy to two shrubs on the mountainside and stretched the other end down.
Su Yiqing shouted: "Master, hold on to the vines and we will pull you up."
The young man nodded, but couldn't move. It took him a long time to say: "I can't move my hands."
Xin'er also said: "Miss, I'm afraid the young master's hand is numb. If you let go, it will fall. I'm afraid you won't be able to grab the vine."
How can this be done? Su Yiqing thought about it for a while, and didn't have time to think too much. She quickly cut two more sections of vines, and tied one end to a strong place and the other to her waist like she did just now.
Xin'er immediately knew what her lady wanted to do, and quickly said: "Miss, let me go down. I have been practicing well recently."
"Stop talking, do you think I want to go down? There is nothing to climb around here, and the soil is loose. I have to go down alone, and the other person slowly lowers the rope, and then pulls the person up later. I don't have the strength.
Pull you up." What Su Yiqing said is true. Putting aside the ring, she is no better than an ordinary weak Qianqian and a lady.
Xin'er shut up.
He watched with fear as Su Yiqing slowly slid down the loose soil while slowly lowering the rope.
Su Yiqing couldn't help but feel lucky that it was loose soil. If it had been a hard stone wall, she would have been bruised all over her body by now.
Finally, she managed to take a photo of the man in front of him, their eyes facing each other. Su Yiqing couldn't help but sigh, this man's eyes are so beautiful, as bright and shiny as black grapes, slender without looking small.
What was she thinking at this time? Su Yiqing quickly put aside the random thoughts in her mind and tied the rope twice around the man's waist.
During this period, she was suspended in the air, feeling like her waist was being strangled by vines and was about to break.
After bundling it up, I called Xin'er, and when Xin'er pulled her, her feet thumped. Under the force of the ring, she was half pulled, and half jumped up on her own.
Then after taking a few breaths, Xin'er and Xin'er pulled the man up.
The man sat on the ground and took a few breaths, then stood up and held up his hands to express his thanks, but his words of thanks were choked back by Su Yiqing's words.
Su Yiqing complained: "Master, even if you are in an emergency, don't ride so fast. It's very dangerous, especially when you see someone next to you. Do you know that you just splashed dust all over me? It's a pity for me."
sweet-scented osmanthus cake.”
"Miss..." Xin'er pulled Su Yiqing aside and signaled the lady not to say such embarrassing words.
The man came to his senses and still cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Zhao Boyang, thank you very much for saving my life."
"Is a word of thanks enough?" Su Yiqing looked sideways at the man. Even though he was in a mess, he could still see that the man was wearing a luxurious brocade robe with fine workmanship.
Zhao Boyang was stunned again, and after a while he took off a piece of jade pendant from his body and said: "I am the second young master of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. This is the jade pendant I brought with me since I was a child. If the two girls are other people,
Wherever I can find Zhao, take this jade pendant and go to the Duke's Mansion. Zhao's definition is undeniable."
After saying this, after Su Yiqing took over the jade pendant, Zhao Boyang waved the white horse beside him, got on the horse neatly, and left gracefully.
Xin'er was stunned, and it took her a long time to find her voice: "Miss, he, he just left like this, it's outrageous."
Su Yiqing chuckled disdainfully: "I was frightened by your nymphomaniacal behavior. If you don't leave quickly, are you still waiting for you to ask for your marriage?"
This jade pendant is quite good, crystal clear, and should be worth a lot of money. Finally, my hard work was not in vain.
Su Yiqing pushed Xin'er, who had not yet figured out the situation, and walked slowly while holding on to her small waist, which was about to be broken just now.
The little girl rescued the young master in trouble, the young master fell in love with the little girl at first sight, and the matchmaker was marrying her. These things only exist in the play. If you are really moved, the real situation can only be that the noble prince takes his benefactor home as a concubine, and lets his original wife play with her.
flat.
The strangulation injury on her waist was more serious than Su Yiqing thought. The next day, it was bruised and swollen. She could only ask Xin'er to help apply medicinal wine and then lie on the bed.
At noon, Mrs. Xu came with a large group of maids and women.
It was really rare. This was the first time that Mrs. Xu came here in more than a year. Su Yiqing had a gut feeling that something big had happened.
Sure enough, Aunt Zhou smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to Miss Ninth, Miss Ninth is very happy."
"What joy?" Su Yiqing had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Mrs. Xu smiled with a forced smile: "My family has arranged a marriage for you. You are the second son of Zhen Guo Gongfu..."
Isn't it? Su Yiqing felt a bunch of crows flying above her head, and she didn't hear clearly what Xu said next.
Until her arm started to hurt, it turned out that the girl Xin'er was so excited that she squeezed her arm tightly.
Su Yiqing calmly pushed Xin'er's hand away and asked, "When did this happen?"
Mrs. Xu said: "Ten days ago, the two parties had a horoscope. The Geng Tie was exchanged just the day before yesterday. You should quickly pack it up and go back home to prepare for the marriage."
Saying this, Mrs. Xu ordered her maid to help pack things.
"Mother." Su Yiqing said hurriedly, "My daughter made an oath in front of the Lord Buddha to recite the Buddha's name carefully for a month to keep her family safe. There is still half a month left, so why not let her stay here for a while, so as not to worry about the trouble in the house?
There are so many people talking and it’s difficult to recite the Buddha’s name with peace of mind.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
