Chapter 2: See you again after a long separation
At this time, on the shore of Xizi Lake, Lan Ruofeng stood on the lake in the shape of a jade tree. The breeze brushed his hair, his white clothes were open, and Wen Wei was a little crazy.
Ten Views of West Lake: Sudi Chunxiao, Quyuan Fenghe, Pinghu Qiuyue, Broken Bridge Residual Snow, Liulang Wenying, Huagang Fish Watching, Leifeng Sunset, Shuangfeng Insert Cloud, Nanping Evening Bell, Santan Yinyue. Haha, I finally came to Xizi Lake!" Lan Ruofeng felt the admiration of women from all sides. Sure enough, he still liked the feeling of being watched. These days, I always try to keep a low profile with Lan Ruoyan. How many beautiful eyes and hearts do I have to miss!
"Lan Ruofeng, what are you thinking about?" Wen Wei saw Lan Ruofeng looking at the distance without saying a word, so she asked curiously.
"Ah, nothing." Lan Ruofeng turned his head to Wen Wei and shook his head. Touching the strong love that always released between the other party's eyes, he only felt warm in his heart. A Jianghu woman like Wen Wei should dare to love and hate, but she has always been reserved and appropriate. There may be Lan Ruoyan as a military engineer for her, but she should be a smart woman. He admitted that she touched him and attracted him.
"Oh, don't you think it's Mr. Su?" Wen Wei saw Lan Ruofeng shouting behind him.
When Lan Ruofeng turned around, it was really Su Mu. Did he come out? Did the sister promise the prince to go back?! He ran over and asked Su Mu, "Mu, why did you come out?"
"If you don't come out, why do you stay there?" Su Mu smiled and said, "I want Yaner to choose by herself."
"...that's right." Lan Ruofeng sighed slightly. These children are always in love and messy. He needs to give Yaner some time. He sincerely thinks that his sister can be with Su Mu. Su Mu has a gentle temper and treats his sister sincerely, which is much more real than Xuanyuan Chen, who married his sister for political marriage.
"Let's go to Lingqiao and have a look!" Wen Wei saw that their expressions were heavy when they spoke, so she shouted.
"Come on——"
In this compartment, Lan Ruoyan and Xuanyuanchen came in a carriage together. When they came down, Xuanyuanchen still reached out to help her. As soon as her heart moved, Lan Ruoyan still stretched out her hand.
The first time she jumped out of the carriage and ignored him, the second time he suddenly hugged herself, and the third time she finally shook the hand. The warm and rough palms evoked too many memories. On their first day of their wedding, Lan Qifeng's deputy general said that her hands were naturally cold, and he shook her hand. At that time, he may just act, but now he is sincere.
They came to the eastern end of the White Embankment of the West Lake. The broken bridge was backed by the Gem Mountain and headed directly to Hangzhou City, which was the water point between the Outer Lake and Beili Lake. The broken bridge is located in a high terrain with a wide view, which is the best place to enjoy the snow scenery of the West Lake. It's just that what they want to see today is the "snow on the broken bridge". Naturally, they want to go to a higher place than the broken bridge to enjoy this wonder.
"At the beginning of the snow, looking south on the Gem Mountain, you can see the West Lake covered in silver, and the white embankment across the snow willow frost peaches." When the two went up the mountain, Xuanyuan Chen still took Lan Ruoyan's hand, and his black and white figure contrasted with the snow-covered world.
"I heard that the arch of the stone bridge of the broken bridge is unobstructed, and the ice and snow melts in the sun, revealing the mottled bridge railings, and the two ends of the bridge are still covered with snow. The faintly verdictable stone bridge seems to appear, and the snow in the culvert is shining, and the surface of the bridge is gray-brown to form a contrast. From a distance, it seems to be broken, so it is called a broken bridge. Lan Ruoyan said in a low voice that the air in the mountain seemed to be frozen, leaving no impurities.
Suddenly remembered something Lan Ruoyan exclaimed, "Rixue Chuji! Why did I forget this!? It's snowing today. I'm afraid I can't see the snow on the broken bridge?!"
"Ha ha... Thanks to you, you just remembered it now." Xuanyuanchen couldn't help laughing when she looked at her like this.
"Did you know? Then you still--" Lan Ruoyan looked at him in surprise and embarrassed in front of him again.
"If it had been broken early, we wouldn't have stood here like this." Xuanyuan Chen's hand holding Lan Ruoyan tightened again. Yaner, come back with me."
"I--" Lan Ruoyan was about to say that I didn't want to leave. At this time, a heroic male voice came from a distance.
"The platform towered into the heart of the lake. No rain, the mountains are long, and the cloudless water is cloudy. The broken bridge is desolate, and the empty courtyard is deep. Still remembering the west window moon, the bells are ringing in the northern forest.
Lan Ruoyan was stunned. Is it the master?
"The sound came from there. Let's go and have a look." Xuanyuanchen pulled Lan Ruoyan and walked in a stiff direction.
"It may be someone else who appreciates the snow. Let's not go there." Lan Ruoyan stopped. If the master was there, she and Xuanyuan Chen appeared hand in hand like this. I don't know what he would think.
"Okay, then I won't go." Xuanyuan Chen saw that Lan Ruoyan didn't want to go, so he smiled and agreed. He took Lan Ruoyan and went elsewhere.
The two were walking in the mountains, and Lan Ruoyan's hand was pulled by Xuanyuanchen. She felt strange that she was not afraid of Xuanyuanchen at all. In fact, she doesn't like to contact men. Even Su Mu only touches her at critical times. But Xuanyuan Chen... She seems to be used to his touch.
"Ah!" For a moment, Lan Ruoyan stepped on the air. Xuanyuanchen quickly stretched out his other hand to hold her, which did not let her fall down.
"Wow~thank you." Lan Ruoyan leaned against Xuanyuanchen's arms and whispered.
"I'm your husband. You don't have to say thank you to me." Xuanyuan Chen said softly that at this moment, Lan Ruoyan snuggled up in his arms, and he actually had a sense of satisfaction that he had never had before. He really loves this woman!
"Shouldn't husband and wife respect each other?" Lan Ruoyan looked up at him and said. After saying that, she thought that she and Xuanyuanchen were not a nominal couple, and said that this did not seem appropriate. Thinking of this, she will also get out of Xuanyuanchen's arms.
I don't want to be hugged back by Xuanyuan Chen again, "Do you want to fall down again?"
"If I fall down, will you come with me?" Lan Ruoyan looked down at the landslide. Although it was not high, she didn't know what it would look like if she fell from it. Martyrdom thought of "Liang Zhu" in her impression.
"It's just that we don't love Liang Zhu Shennong. I don't know if we can die together and whether we can fly into butterflies in the next life." Xuanyuanchen's words were bitter, and Lan Ruoyan also felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it. Their name was husband and wife, but there was no love. In this case, why do we have to work hard together?
"In that case, what do you have to do when I go back?" Lan Ruoyan asked him back.
"Yan'er, I don't mean I don't love you, but I don't know if we love each other. I don't believe that you and Su Mu are in love. Xuan Yuanchen will not use the honorific title when he reveals his heartfelt words to Lan Ruoyan. Because he understands that there is no superiority or inferiority in the love Lan Ruoyyan wants.
"You don't believe it?" Lan Ruoyan frowned, "Why?"
"Because you have no affection in your eyes." Xuanyuanchen replied, "Although I'm not a very affectionate person, I can still see whether you care about him or not. If you really follow him, you won't let me take your hand so far. You are a strong woman, and you should also be loyal to love. Otherwise, you would have been mine long ago."
Lan Ruoyan didn't say anything. Xuanyuanchen saw through her at least at this point, and she sighed. She was not a sentimental person, but when she came to ancient times, she seemed to be worried without worry. Is she really too idle now? She is thinking about this and that when she has nothing to do.
"Let's go somewhere else first." Finally, Xuanyuan Chen opened his mouth and left first. Lan Ruoyan bowed his head silently and pulled him away elsewhere.
I didn't pay attention for a moment, but I was taken to Fengting by Xuanyuanchen! When she raised her head, she saw the old naughty boy looking at her, and her heart was very embarrassed. At this time, her hand was only held in Xuanyuan Chen's hand!
"Master."
"Master!"
Lan Ruoyan shouted to the old naughty boy. Xuanyuanchen also called the master, and who was it? She was surprised to see the man standing next to the old naughty boy. Born with a broad mouth, a high nose and powerful cheeks, sword eyebrows, and a dark green jacket. I wear brocade-edged ink socks under my feet, and the shoes with thick soles seem to be a little worn. I think they should be people who often walk.
In terms of appearance, it is indeed heroic, and the temperament inside is also majestic. He should be a former official and a senior official. If so, this person is the master mentioned by Xuanyuan Chen. The surprise from the man's eyes also proved her guess.
"Cun'er, I didn't expect to meet you here." When the man got up, he looked sideways at Lan Ruoyan beside Xuanyuanchen, and saw the golden phoenix hairpin on her head, a goose down fur coat, rabbit hair and eyebrows, and the elegant temperament. I saw this woman calling the old urchin as her master, and she was also a little familiar with her appearance, and she roughly understood Lan Ruoyan's identity.
"Oh? Chen'er!" The soft and beautiful female voice came from behind the man, and the woman was wearing a pale green lotus coat, wearing a jade bracelet, and an emerald silver ring on her ears. The temperament is light, but the eyebrows are vulgar and brisk. The skin is as smooth as fresh lychee, and the smile is gentle and amiable. However, Xuanyuan Chen, who heard her call him Chen's son, must also be an elder, but it seems that he is a few years older than Xuanyuan Chen, and the man who just called Xuanyuan Chen as a master seems to be a bigger age gap.
Is it the little teacher? But the teacher still looks just as young. Xuanyuanchen looked at Nie Keren, and most of the frost on her face had been gone in an instant. The corners of her mouth raised a bad smile. Lan Ruoyan was a little surprised. She looked at the woman again. Xuanyuanchen seemed to treat her differently from others.
"Hmm! It's time to divorce your master again. They are really people with several wives, and they are not very mature. Nie Keren smiled and said annoy.
"There are several wives." Hearing this, Lan Ruoyan was a little uncomfortable. She noticed that Xuanyuanchen's hand holding her had loosened a little, so she simply withdrew her hand.
When the palm of his hand was empty, Xuanyuan Chen looked at Lan Ruoyeng doubtfully. Thinking of what Nie Keren said just now, he knew that Lan Ruoyan was caring about the "several wives". Alas, she really couldn't tolerate other women around him, just like Nie Keren.
"Hey, the beauty is sad. Chen'er, you are guilty." Nie Keren walked down the steps with a smile, walked to Lan Ruoyan's side, took her hand and said, "Come on, let's talk together and don't be with these un Affectionate men."
Lan Ruoyan felt a little surprised. When Nie Ke came to shake her hand, she did not reject her. I don't know whether Nie Keren's words were scolded by Master Xuanyuan or Xuanyuanchen, but it's okay. It's quite comfortable to hear this curse.
Nie Keren pulled Lan Ruoyan to the other side, but she hesitated and looked at the old urchin, as if she didn't want to leave.
"Yan'er, go with Aunt Nie." The old naughty boy motioned her to rest assured.
nodded, and Lan Ruoyan also went elsewhere with Nie Keren.
"What's your name? My name is Nie Keren, Chen'er's master. I guess he didn't tell you his name, the man in dark green, his name is Gan Shilin. Nie Keren did not see Lan Ruoyan. She saw that Lan Ruoyan was dressed in precious clothes. She must not be the daughter of an ordinary family, but should be an official eunuch. Did Xuanyuan Chen come out for a private visit?
"My name is Lan Ruoyan." Lan Ruoyan knew that she was familiar with Xuanyuanchen and knew him very well. Gan Shilin also knew something, as if she was a general with the same military power before Lan Qifeng. Later, after resigning and retreating, the military power gradually fell into the hands of Lan Qifeng.
Huh? Are you Lan Ruoyan, the daughter of Lan Qifeng that Chener married last year?!" Nie Ke is amazing. Lan Qifeng is rigorous. Although he regards women as a treasure, he should also be strict. If you don't answer the question, you will reply directly, "I'm..." Isn't it right for the lady of the official eunuch to say what the little girl's surname, what her name is, and her maiden's name?
"Hmm." Lan Ruoyan nodded. She looked at Nie Keren strangely, "What's wrong with your mother?"
"Are you really Lan Ruoyan?" Nie Keren couldn't help asking more questions, because he was really suspicious.
"..." Lan Ruoyan spoke silently for a moment. How could she suspect that she was not Lan Ruoyan?!
"Well, let me think about it, your current body is Lan Ruoyan, and your soul is another person, right?" In order to prove his guess, Nie Keren boldly asked.
"How do you know?" It was impossible for Lan Ruoyan not to be shocked at this time. She stared at Nie Keren.
"Haha! Sure enough!" Nie Keren shouted in surprise, "You are not from this era. Are you also from the 21st century?"
"Do you also..." Lan Ruoyan looked at Nie Keren in disbelief.
"Hmm." Nie Keren nodded, "I'm not a person of this era. I also seem to have crossed the brain waves. However, you have a good life. As soon as you come here, you will be Miss Qianjin. As soon as I come here, alas! Unexpectedly, it fell into the Xianqiao Building!"
"..." Xianqiao Tower is the first brothel in the capital. Lan Ruoyan remembers that she and Murong Qingqing also ran there to have a scene. However, she came from there, how could she fly with the general of the court?
"Hey, thanks to my cleverness, I came out of that damn place, but after I escaped for a month, Gan Shilin, the main owner behind the Xianqiao Building, was caught..." Nie Keren said here, and the whole eyebrows were tied together. The old man didn't know whether he had touched a woman or something after fighting outside for a long time. After he was arrested and asked me to go back, he let me into his general's mansion as a concubine!"
Lan Ruoyan listened quietly. Although Nie Ke's words were angry, his face was still smiling. "However, no matter what I say, I came from the future, and it was more than enough to deal with him! Haha, just let him see that he can't eat it! And those of his favorite concubines who were made by me are called a gray face.
Hearing this, Lan Ruoyan actually admired Nie Ke. Her experience was actually several times more difficult than herself, but she broke away. Even if she married someone she didn't want to marry, she would share a man with many women.
"However, I still have to be so arrogant that he has to be tolerant of me. Yaner, I don't know how Chener treats you?" Nie Keren asked her.
"My situation is roughly the same as my sister's, but I'm afraid he is... thicker than General Gan's blessing." Lan Ruoyan's words are sour.
"Ha ha, you are clever. You know how to call me sister. Unlike Chen'er, the vicious man, you know how to call me teacher mother and make me old alive." Nie Keren sighed and laughed.
"Why did my sister finally follow the general?" Lan Ruoyan asked puzzled why Nie Keren was an extraordinary woman, but why did she finally follow Gan Shilin? "He seems to be ten years older than you."
"To put it bluntly, I'm an uncle. Although he is still a little old and cunning, I like it, because I'm also a bad person, haha..." Nie Keren seems to be born to laugh, and there seems to be no unhappy in front of her. Lan Ruoyan likes her state, so she doesn't have to worry so much.
"Probably, radishes and vegetables have their own preferences. I'm afraid that the prince and I will just be predestined for the rest of our lives. He can't give up the country he wants, and I can't be willing to compromise. Lan Ruoyan said a little sadly, "Sister, to tell you the truth, the prince and I are actually just a nominal couple."
Ah? No way, but I saw that Chen'er looked at you with affection. He won't be so gentleman suddenly, will he?!" Nie Keren blinked and said, "You didn't follow him casually. It can be seen that you are an independent girl. Chen'er should like a girl like you. Do you think he feels heart broken?
"It seems to be a little." Lan Ruoyan replied in a low voice. There was no need to hide this. Indeed, every time she thought of Xuanyuanchen, she always had an involuntarily sad circle wrapped in helplessness.
"Then you also care about him. Since you are already husband and wife, why don't you be together?" Nie Keren sincerely advised, "Don't think too much. If you are as sentimental every day as Sister Lin, which woman has such a long life to cry."
"Sister, you don't know that he and I are just talented and beautiful. In fact, there are too many personalities. Even if we are reluctantly together, we will be separated sooner or later." Lan Ruoyan never thought that she would be called "Sister Lin" one day. She really couldn't laugh or cry, but Silai seemed to be like that again.
