Chapter 76 No Encounter
Li Tian lowered her eyes and thanked her, "I dare not do it. The fourth master's official business is heavy. How can I delay the fourth master for this little thing? I, a driver, can repair this wheel."
"This can't be delayed," the fourth prince said gently: "I met you, how can I ignore you? Let's sit under the curtain and wait, and it will be repaired in a minute.
With a few words, seven or eight long followers have set up curtains by the roadside and took two Hu chairs from the horseback and put them away. As the fourth prince spoke, he reached out to Li Tian in the roadside curtain. Li Tian hesitated, glanced at Yue Niang, half lowered her head, followed the fourth prince into the curtain. Yue Niang threw the car spokes in her hand, clapped her hands, followed Li Tian into the curtain, and stood behind her back.
The fourth prince politely let Li Tian sit down. Li Tian's heart was half-hanging, and she carefully picked up the right chair and sat down. She subconsciously rubbed the corner of the veil in her hand and anxiously looked at the wheels that had been unloaded and pushed to the roadside. If your own driver and Yue Niang repair it, but with only half a cup of tea, this car can at least support it back to the Duke of Yongguo. At this time, the fourth prince's people will repair it. Who knows when it will be repaired?! The broken marks of the car spokes are neat. Yue Niang must have wanted to tell herself about this just now...
The fourth prince looked at Li Tian sideways and looked at her carefully from top to bottom. Her soft hair was a simple but beautiful hair bun, and only a red gold hundred flower hairpin was inserted. The dots hanging down the head of this hundred flower hairpin were exquisite and flexible, really like a hairpin. She was born really beautiful, just like what is written in the book. Her skin is like curd, her eyes are like autumn water, and her fingers are like... The fourth prince stared at the hands that keep rubbing the pearls with the corners of the handkerchief. Their hands are like jade carvings, soft and slender, white and almost transparent, their nails are not dyed with cardamom, trimmed very neatly, and their nails are pink like lotus flowers. In general, the four corners of the handkerchief were decorated with pearls the size of lotus seeds. The pearls were pinched between her fingers one by one, and the pearls were not as soft and beautiful as her hands.
The fourth prince looked distracted and subconsciously stretched out his hand and wanted to touch and hold his hands. Yue Niang coughed heavily. Li Tian turned her head and looked at the fourth prince. The fourth prince was coughed back by Yue Niang. He stretched out his hand in mid-air, suddenly cut out half of it, and pointed to the weeping willow outside the curtain and said, "This wee is beautiful, and it is a little five... Human posture."
Li Tian turned her head and looked at the weeping willows outside the curtain, and smiled slightly and said, "Because of this image, literati like to use the quality of willows to describe women. Unfortunately, the quality of willows is planted on the roadside with such a posture, but they can't go to the Golden Horse House of Yutang. Puliu and Jinma Yutang are not suitable."
"The fifth lady is really Lan's favor." The fourth prince looked at his hands and the pearls rubbed between his fingers and couldn't help praising, "The veil of the Fifth Lady is really unique. These pearls are just right." Li Tian's fingers stiffened. Didn't he hear what she said? What are you doing staring at her veil? This handkerchief is one of her little problems. As soon as she is nervous or does something, she likes to knead the corners of her clothes and knead the corners of the handkerchief. Grandma asks people to decorate the four corners of the handkerchief with pearls, jasper beads, etc. so that she can knead them. Li Tian raised a veil and withdrew her hand into her sleeve, as if she was looking at the driver and several long car repairing, and didn't hear the words of the fourth prince.
The fourth prince was so annoyed that his eyes moved down from his sleeves. She sat dignifiedly, and only a little pointed toe was exposed under her skirt. Why are the same satin embroidered shoes so soft and slender on her feet? The fourth prince's eyes stopped on the tip of his shoes for a long time, slowly moved up again, and stared at Li Tian's side face to see God.
Li Tian was uncomfortable and roasted like a fire by him. She was very ashamed but did not dare to attack. What's the matter?! These princes are so arrogant that they stare at people so presumptuously in such a broad daylight and in public! A trace of angry blush spread up Li Tian's neck. When the fourth prince saw her blush, he was stunned, and his eyes smiled brightly: "It's hot. You can hold this folding fan." With that, he handed the folding fan in his hand to Li Tian.
"I dare not do it. This curtain is a little stuffy. The fourth master sat wide, and I went outside to breathe." As he spoke, he stood up and didn't wait for the fourth prince to answer. He turned to look at Yue Niang and said, "Let's go and see if the car has been repaired. We told my aunt that we were not going home. If we don't go back, my aunt should send someone to find it later." Yue Niang glanced at the fourth prince who had stood up and stood up rudely behind Li Tian.
There is no Yue Niang in the eyes of the fourth prince. He walked side by side with Li Tian in a few steps, stepped out of the curtain, and reached out to stop Li Tian and said, "Just take a look here. Don't be too close. Be careful of being hit by them." Li Tian had to stop, and the fourth prince continued, "I'll send someone to the Duke of Yongguo to speak for you, so as not to worry about the Duke and his wife."
"No need!" Li Tian refused simply and rudely: "What is the fourth master sending someone to say this for me? Our Li family has a lot of rules. Such a lonely man and a widow are alone in the wild, so that the clan knows that I have to kill myself!"
"Oh," the fourth prince was robbed by Li Tian. He accidentally raised his eyebrows and didn't wait for his eyebrows to fall, but his smile overflowed from his eyes. His smiling eyes were inseparable from Li Tian. He approached Li Tian slightly, as if he was not sure and whispered slowly: "I only heard that the rules of the Yang family in southern Sichuan are extremely heavy. You Aren't the family rules of the Li family famous for their broad and casual? Besides, we are not alone in the wild.
"You?!" Li Tian was ashamed and annoyed by his words. Seeing that Li Tian was really annoyed, the fourth prince, with a smile on his face, hurriedly accompanied Si Xiaoyi and said, "It used to be broad, but now it may have been changed, but I didn't notice it."
"I dare not do it. It seems that this car still has to be repaired for a while. I won't wait. Let Yue Niang take me to ride back first." Li Tian was shocked by his petty companion and did not dare to delay for a moment. Yue Niang responded. The fourth prince hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Li Tian and said, "It's not a good idea to ride into the city. The Li family is not the rule..." Seeing Li Tian's eyebrows upright, the fourth prince swallowed the word 'heavy' in his mouth and said, "It will be fixed in a moment, just For a moment."
Yue Niang has taken four or five steps, stopped to turn around, and looked at Li Tian and other orders, but the fourth prince waved to her and said, "Go and urge them faster." Li Tian took advantage of what he ordered Yue Niang to dodge, carried her skirt, took three very agile steps and two steps, and ran to Yue Niang and said, "Let's go and have a look."
The fourth prince was stunned and had to follow him. Qingzhi hurried over from the side of the car and handed the cap to Li Tian very smartly. Li Tian quickly took it over and put it on. The long deep purple veil hung down to his feet. Li Tian breathed a long sigh of relief and was finally much more comfortable through this layer of yarn. The fourth prince was next to Li Tian's side and looked down at her. He didn't know what he was thinking.
With Yue Niang in command, the car was repaired quickly. It was not very good. It had been rough and could be used. Li Tian meticulously thanked the fourth prince and helped Qingzhi get into the car. Before Li Tian sat down, Yue Niang jumped to the horizontal board in front and sat down, urging the driver to leave quickly. The fourth prince subconsciously followed behind the car and took a few steps. He waved his hand and asked people to lead the horse over. He rode the horse not far behind the car, and followed him until he passed the Qingfeng Tower. Seeing Li Tian's car turn into the side door of the Duke of Yongguo Mansion, he sadly strangled the horse and went back to the household department in place.
Li Tian got out of the car in the second door, looked at Yue Niang in shock and ordered the car and said, "Have you left yet? Didn't you follow me?"
"He stopped at the door of Qingfeng Building. Can he still follow the house? Why did you follow up? Pro-mend marriage?" Yue Niang dusted her clothes and said. Li Tian didn't answer. She galloped all the way back to Qingtong Courtyard. She hurried around the room and only turned her skirt. She looked at Li Tian in astonishment. Qingzhi hurried forward and told her that she met the fourth prince when the car was broken on the road. Her eyes were round, and she looked at Qingzhi and Li Tian again. I can't say it either.
Yue Niang sat on the armchair and looked at Li Tian and said, "Don't turn around. What's the use of turning around? What can happen? Even if he comes to propose marriage, you don't want to marry or not. What can he do to you? You can't force it."
"What you said is light, that's the prince! Can you say that you don't agree?" Qingzhi looked at Yue Niang and said urgently. Yingluo quickly stilled a cup of tea and handed it to Li Tian and persuaded her, "Don't worry, Wu Niangzi. Don't you often say that the more important it is, the more calm you need to be. Have a cup of tea first. There must be a way."
"Alas!" Li Tian sighed, took the tea and took a sip. He twisted his hands and walked back and forth a few times. Looking at Qingzhi, he ordered, "Go and invite Mr. Shui to come and talk." Qingzhi answered and hurried out. Shui Qiuniang followed Qingzhi into the upper room.
Li Tian got up and saluted Shui Qiu Niang. Shui Qiu Niang is in her 40s. She has a normal face, but she is graceful and demeanor. Her behavior and words are extremely gentle but not close to people. She has been selected into the palace because of her excellent piano skills since she was a child. Five or six years ago, she left the palace for some unknown reason. She was invited by Li Tian's grandmother to teach Li Tian's piano skills. Her daily life Life is extremely exquisite, living alone in a courtyard rarely goes out, and there is no mention of the past.
Yiluo took a set of tea set, carefully cleaned his hands, burned the tea set, ordered a cup of tea, and gave it to Shui Qiu Niang. Shui Qiu Niang took it, raised it to her lips, gently shook the cup, lowered her eyes and smelled it and smiled, "The skill of making tea is the same as before."
"The fifth lady doesn't like tea soup. She hasn't ordered tea for a long time, and she is unfamiliar." Yingluo heard that Shui Qiu Niang said that her tea skills had not improved, so she quickly explained with a smile. Shui Qiu Niang took a sip of tea with a smile, turned her head to look at Li Tian, and waited for her to speak.
