The people outside the window were shouting and neighing, which was annoying, "What's going on! It's just a move to Honghua, but it's like sending troops to fight! What's the matter, such a big movement!" Wan'er was confused, and her embroidery needle was spinning again.
It was crooked, penetrated the bandage, and pierced her finger. Blood beads and tears rolled out at the same time. She dropped the bandage and stretched her finger to her lips in grievance. She was about to suck it with her mouth, but she stretched it out beside her.
Get a clean white handkerchief.
"Sister, let me help you!" the owner of the handkerchief shouted with a bit of coquettishness.
"Get away, who is using you to show your courtesy!" Li Waner shouted angrily, as if the reason for pricking her hand came entirely from the owner of the handkerchief. "Servant Sword, go and shout outside the door to tell them to make less noise. You can do the work.
If you don’t know how to work, get away!”
The last half of the sentence she said was directed at the maid at the door. The maid, who had never seen her master speak so loudly before, agreed and ran out against the wall like a frightened mouse. Soon, the noise in the yard suddenly stopped.
At the same time, a small sob could be heard in the room.
Wan'er turned around and looked at her half-sister Li Qi with some embarrassment. Qi'er, who was one year younger than Shi Min, had just been taken to Huaiyuan Town from her hometown by her father, and she was still immersed in
In the excitement of being reunited with her family, she didn't expect that her half-sister, who had always been nice to her, suddenly became cold and cold. No matter how much she tried to flatter her, she never got the slightest bit of good looks from her.
The taste of blood filled her mouth. Wan'er sucked her fingers hard, not knowing what to say to comfort her sister. She didn't mean to hurt Zhen'er. She could swear to God that she had never had the intention of bullying her sister.
Although no one could do anything to her even if they were deliberately bullying her. Both were the daughters of Tang Gong, and the status gap between a child born from a regular family and a child born from a common concubine was as great as heaven and earth. No blind servant girl would go to the sinister palace for a daughter born from a common concubine.
Li Qier herself would not have the courage to file a complaint against her sister in front of her father.
Li Qi's hands are very skillful, and the peonies she embroidered became even more delicate after being wetted with tears. That is Li Waner's new wedding dress. It is the custom in her hometown that if the bride's wedding dress is made by her own sisters,
If she embroiders, she will be blessed with a happy life. Gently wiping away her tears, her slender white fingers continued to shuttle over the bandage. There were no more sobbing in the room, but every time the embroidery needle was pierced, it felt like it was piercing Li Wan'er.
on the heart.
"I, I didn't mean it. I'm just upset!" Wan'er walked closer to her sister and gently hugged her shoulders. This obvious gesture of goodwill frightened her body to twitch, and she was convinced.
After no harm was done, a pair of watery eyes slowly turned around.
"Sister, I didn't mean it. She's getting married and she's upset. Don't take it to heart." Li Wan'er forced a smile, but she felt aggrieved for no reason in her heart. Qi'er was picked up by her father to win over that stupid boy.
She would be Shimin's martial arts partner from now on. If His Majesty the Emperor hadn't suddenly issued a decree, ordering her father to go to Honghua, and that idiot boy happened to go to Mazhaishui, she would have been as happy as she was then.
Looking at the young man on the black horse, he was sweating profusely.
"I know that the second sister is reluctant to leave her father and aunt!" Li Qier smiled kindly and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes. Before coming to Huaiyuan, her mother, who had lost her favor, kept urging her not to get along with a few serious people.
There was a conflict between the brothers and sisters who came out. "Mom knows that I have wronged you by asking like this, but this is your life. Who told you to choose your mother's belly when you were reincarnated! How could your father suddenly think of you among more than a dozen brothers and sisters?
, it is already your creation, you must cherish it and never fail to get on the stage!"
In order to appear worthy of the stage, she must be careful in everything, and must not take a wrong step or say a wrong word. When others laugh, she must laugh along with them, and when others are unhappy, she must not show the slightest hint of happiness.
As for why her father suddenly started to favor her, Li Qier did not dare to ask. What more could a daughter of a concubine ask for? Being able to occupy a position as big as a nail in her father's heart was already a blessing she had cultivated for many years.
"It's not just that I can't bear to leave. Anyway, my heart is in a mess. It becomes empty all of a sudden, and then full again!" Wan'er sighed and whispered.
"I heard someone say." Zhen'er looked around carefully and found that no one was eavesdropping. She lowered her voice and revealed to her sister, "Mr. Chai is very handsome, with both civil and military skills. He was once one of the most trusted arms of His Royal Highness.
!When I went hunting with His Highness the Prince, I once killed a tiger with my bare hands!"
It was rare that her elder sister could talk to her about what was on her mind, so the little girl immediately put the grievances in her heart out of her mind. Under her big, watery eyes, her face turned into a peach blossom color, as if it was not Wan'er who was about to get married, but herself.
"Don't listen to other people's nonsense!" Wan'er's arms tightened, making her sister grin. This was not the way a girl should express her feelings, but it made her heart suddenly feel warm. The little girl moved her body
She leaned into her sister's embrace, raised her face and said, "But people do say that, and they say that you and Mr. Chai, second sister, are talented and beautiful, just like the golden boy and girl under the throne of the Queen Mother of the West!"
"Have you ever seen a beautiful girl who can only wield a knife and a gun, but can't drive a needle and thread?" Li Waner spat with a smile and asked. She was a little envious of her sister. The little girl was innocent and at an age where she was full of fantasies about marriage.
But for herself, what she was thinking was all reality! Suddenly, Wan'er realized that she was a little old, as if she was much older than her real age. The smile began to slowly solidify on her face again, turning into ice bit by bit.
"Second sister, what's wrong with you?" Li Qi keenly felt the change in her sister's mood, and her pure eyes were full of uneasiness.
It was a look that Wan'er couldn't bear to hurt. Although when she thought about something, she was so heartbroken that she wanted to find someone to fight. Brother Zhongjian wanted to marry her, and brother Zhongjian wanted to protect her for the rest of his life! But Brother Zhongjian was then
He obviously promised to protect me, but he broke his promise! He...
Wan'er felt bitter in her heart, and her tears rolled down unsatisfactorily. She stretched out her hand and wiped it hard twice, blocking the source of the tears. The salty taste poured down her nostrils into her throat, making her
My mouth was filled with a bitter taste, as if I had just drank a big bowl full of tears.
"Second sister, you don't like Mr. Chai, do you?" Li Zhen'er was completely frightened, curled up and asked uneasily.
"I've never met him, how can I say whether I like him or not?!" Li Waner shook her head and sighed in reply. It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, can you still strengthen the Li family at this juncture?
Enemies? This marriage was proved by countless princes with the same status as their father. If either party breaks the marriage, the male and female families will forge an unbreakable hatred for several lifetimes. And the Li family has just climbed out of the trough.
, she cannot be allowed to cause any more trouble.
To put it bluntly, even if her father really loved her, what would happen if he took the initiative to terminate the engagement? Li Waner looked at the floating clouds outside the window and sighed in a low voice. That ignorant country boy never said that he liked her, and she didn't
I don't know if I like him or not.
"Second sister is so worried!" Li Qi guessed smartly, "Don't be afraid, no man would not pity a beautiful woman like second sister. Besides, dad loves you so much, he won't let you marry a good-for-nothing guy.
!”
"Little guy, don't make random guesses. You'll understand when you grow up!" Wan'er stretched out her finger and lightly poked her sister's forehead.
Growing up is a word that I have always dreamed of. Now I find that growing up is not a happy thing. If I were the age of Zhen'er, I would have a lot of time to waste. That ignorant guy would also have enough time.
You will have time to consider whether he likes you, and you will have plenty of time to make contributions. When his wings are full enough to enjoy the blue sky by himself, there will be one more choice for the two of you.
But now, he is far from growing up. And he is already seventeen years old, reaching the age when he has to get married. He can continue to be ignorant, but his youth can no longer be consumed.
Li Wan'er suddenly felt that God was so unfair, so unfair. When a man reaches eighteen, he can still be called a boy, but when a woman reaches eighteen and is unmarried, she will be labeled as an old man. She looked at Zhen'er again with a bit of envy, but
I found my sister holding her chin, thinking longingly.
She is looking forward to growing up! Wan'er guessed keenly. She felt a little sad in her heart, and also felt a little envious. She ran her fingers through her sister's silky long hair, and Wan'er asked in a low voice: "Xiao Qi,
Have you learned martial arts in the past few years, and can you ride a horse?"
"Uh!" Li Qi came back from his fantasy and replied in a panic: "No, I haven't learned it. Mom said that when girls practice martial arts, their fingers will become thicker and their bones will become bigger!" She looked at it.
My sister suddenly realized that what she said was too rash, and she couldn't wait to make up for it: "I said that my sister looks better after practicing martial arts, but my mother didn't allow me to compare with you!"
"Silly boy!" Li Waner's face gradually became sad because of her sister's words, and she sighed while stroking her hair.
"But when I came to Huaiyuan Town, my eldest brother and my second brother insisted on letting me practice martial arts. They forced me to stretch my joints and kick my legs, which made my whole body hurt every time!" Li Hao stuck out his tongue and complained playfully. "However,
After practicing martial arts, I feel really refreshed and I don’t even dream when I sleep!”
"You try your best to focus on practicing martial arts from now on!" Wan'er grabbed her sister's palm and her words were full of love and affection. These hands were very soft and had no strength at all like her own fingers. If she were to pick up a knife or a gun, it would probably take less than an hour.
It will cause bleeding.
"You should practice martial arts as much as possible in the future. This is very important for your future happiness!" Wan'er looked at her sister's blank eyes and whispered. People who marry such a gentle girl should live a happy life. She
The smile on his face grew stronger and stronger, as if he had once again seen the galloping black horse in the sun.
That spring, when the dark horse passed by, some flowers fell all over the ground. (To be continued)
