33 Wen Ting Luan
◎I just miss you so much, is that not okay?◎
She went to bed early last night, and because she slept so deeply, she was still a little confused when she was woken up.
On the third day of my period, the abdominal pain was much better, but I still felt a little groggy.
Tian Nongxi sat up and looked at the movement at the door, suspecting that he was still dreaming.
It was still dark, but a little light, not blocked by the clouds, came in through the window. The faint halo was clearly the afterglow of the moon.
Why would someone call her at this time?
As I leaned against the headboard in a daze, there was a rapid knock on the door, and a muffled sound came through the crack of the door.
The man kept asking her to open the door, his voice very low, but because the surroundings were too quiet, it seemed particularly abrupt, like a goblin that had just transformed in the deep mountains and forests.
Tian Nongxi reached under the pillow and tightly grasped the hairpin until the man called her name.
"Second uncle?" Tian Nongxi stood up and opened the door, his tone somewhat puzzled.
Tian Nongle glanced at her hand, walked over to the only rickety chair in the room, and asked directly, "Where is the young master who lives here?"
"Didn't you say you were leaving?" Tian Nongxi was speechless.
"Can't I ask?" Tian Nongle coughed twice and said in a very arrogant tone, "This is my home."
"oh."
Tian Nongxi put the hairpin back under the pillow, sat down at the end of the bed, looked at the pale sky outside, and waited quietly for Tian Nongle's next words.
She didn't think Tian Nong Le came here just to confirm this matter.
Tian Nong Le suddenly asked: "Do you know how I came back?"
Tian Nongxi shook his head, his eyes showing that he didn't care.
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
“…”
He put away his smug expression and handed the thing he had been holding to Tian Nongxi.
This is a firework made of a bamboo tube, filled with saltpeter. If you get a little closer, you can smell a salty and bitter taste.
Seeing that his niece didn't pick it up, Tian Nong Le simply put it aside and instructed: "When he comes back, light the fireworks in the southwest direction at midnight."
Tian Nongxi looked at him in confusion, with disgust and confusion evident in his eyes.
"Do you know who he is?" Tian Nong Le was furious, veins popping out on his face, and he looked like he was disappointed in his child.
"Who is it?" Tian Nongxi became interested.
"Big shot!"
"..." Tian Nongxi scoffed, "How old? The emperor?"
"Tsk." Tian Nong Le scolded, lowering his voice, "Although he can't compare with the emperor, he is also the peak you and I can reach in this lifetime." He said it mysteriously, but in fact he just wanted Tian Nongxi to take him seriously. Not to mention knowing the man's true identity, he would be scolded if he asked one more question.
Surprisingly, my niece didn't look happy.
Tian Nong Le suspected that the peasant girl didn't understand, so he didn't have the patience to explain to her. He licked his lips and took out a tael of silver from his pocket, "You will definitely get the benefits if the matter is done."
He added, "I am your second uncle, your father's younger brother. How could I harm you?"
Tian Nongxi glanced at him and said nothing.
"Give me the jade pendant."
"What?" Tian Nongxi finally paid attention to him.
"Give me the jade pendant."
Tian Nongxi frowned in confusion, "You're exchanging one or two ounces of silver for a jade pendant?"
Seeing that his niece refused to give it to him, he tried to snatch it away, but Tian Nongxi grabbed his wrist.
She was helpless, "Second Uncle, did you get permission from the government to be released from prison?"
Tian Nongle understood the meaning of her words and remained silent for a while. When he saw that it was bright outside, he knew that he could not resist and had to leave.
Before he left, he was still staring at the jade pendant on Tian Nongxi's waist, and said sternly, "Don't tell anyone I was here."
Tian Nongxi did not respond. After the people left, he closed the door without any reluctance, took off his coat and lay back on the bed, holding the jade pendant high in his hand.
What does Tian Nong Le want this for? He can't be selling it.
That won’t work. She is the one who needs money the most.
She will really die if she has no money.
As she was thinking, she looked out the window. The sky was clear and there was no sign of the heavy rain yesterday.
Tian Nongxi rested his head on the head of the bed, and the Qi family was just across the wall.
She turned over and got up, stuffed the deed under her pillow deep into the cabinet, determined not to mention this to the Tian family.
While Tian Nongxi was washing up, the sound of horse hooves disturbed the tranquility of the suburbs.
The villagers of Tianjia Village who were rushing to the fields saw a man in tight clothes hesitating at the entrance of the village, and kindly showed him the way.
The man looked up and smiled at him to thank him. The villager who was showing him the way was distracted, and the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.
Lin Luan only took a few steps forward before pulling the reins. Wen Xun jumped out from the darkness and saluted without any hesitation.
"Your Highness, these past two days..." As usual, he wanted to tell His Highness everything that had happened in the past two days in detail, with the most important thing being the girl from the Tian family.
His Highness seemed to pay special attention to Miss Tian. Perhaps it was because her second uncle was the breakthrough in this matter, so her every move was required to be remembered.
Wen Xun was about to start from the day His Highness left, but was stopped before he could open his mouth.
Lin Luan dismounted and handed the reins to Wenxun.
"It has not slept all night, bring it to rest."
"yes."
Wenxun got on his horse and left like the wind.
Tianjia Village was the same as usual, Lin Luan walked hurriedly, unwilling to see the glaring red.
The door of the Tian family was tightly closed, without a trace of joy in sight.
Lin Luan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the tightly closed door next door. Without stopping, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. The marks of the rope were still imprinted on his bony hands.
After a voice of "coming", brisk footsteps came closer and closer from inside the house.
Tian Nongxi opened the door with a clang, frowning and looking like he was about to curse someone the next second, but the moment he saw it was him, his eyes lit up.
She said in a crisp tone that she didn't even realize was there: "You're back!"
"Yeah." Lin Luan stared at her sparkling eyes and his breath hitched. He asked, "Are you so happy that I'm back?"
Tian Nongxi was a little confused by the question, "Of course."
"Why?"
"Ah?" Tian Nongxi twisted her fingers together, pursed her lips, and made way. "Come in first?"
He lowered his head, glanced at Tian Nongxi's waist, and followed him into the house.
After confirming that he had come in, Tian Nongxi went to the kitchen with peace of mind. After a while, he came over with a smile on his face, holding a teacup.
"Have some tea~" She held up her face and stared at Lin Luan and smiled.
Lin Luan thanked him, but felt uneasy because of the burning gaze. He stroked the handle of the cup and asked again, "Are you happy?"
Tian Nongxi was puzzled: "I just miss you so much, is that not okay?"
Lin Luan stared at her with a dark look in his eyes.
Her long hair was braided into a pigtail and placed in front of her right shoulder. She was wearing a thin plain dress, her face was unmade up, and her hair was not decorated with any pearls or hairpins.
Tian Nongxi felt uneasy when he was looked at. Suspecting that something was on him, he touched his face hesitantly.
Lin Luan finally spoke, chuckling, "You're getting married soon, why are you wearing such plain clothes?"
"What?" Tian Nongxi was stunned, keenly grasping the strangeness of this. "How did you know this?"
Lin Luan didn't answer. He put away his fake smile, frowned, stood up and approached.
His hot hands wrapped around her arms, their strength strong enough to crush her bones. "You accepted my jade pendant, how can you marry someone else?"
When their noses were almost touching, Tian Nongxi finally broke free. She gasped and shook her head. She wanted to speak but couldn't stop coughing because of her anxiety.
"I'm sorry." Lin Luan finally let go, handed her the teacup, and patted her back gently.
Tian Nongxi took the water and gulped down a few mouthfuls before realizing that this was the water Lin Luan had drunk. His face felt a little hot.
She finally recovered, the words "You're crazy" circling in her chest again and again, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to curse, so she said helplessly: "No, you're wrong."
Lin Luan looked at her silently.
"Oh." Tian Nongxi stood up, took Lin Luan's sleeve and forced him to sit on a chair. "Who said I'm getting married?"
Lin Luan shook his head and said condescendingly, "No one said it." It was sent by carrier pigeon.
"..." Tian Nongxi was puzzled and murmured, "It was obviously just me and..."
Her voice suddenly became louder, "You planted someone here with me?!"
Tian Nongxi was so shocked that he slammed the table and stood up when he saw a character that only appeared in movies and TV dramas appear around him.
According to Tian Nong Le, the person in front of him was of noble status, and one or two secret guards were nothing.
But what's the point of looking at her?!
Tian Nongxi suddenly reacted, sat back in his chair, and tried to use his eyes to look Lin Luan clean, "Who are you?"
Lin Luan: "Aren't you going to get married?" He took back the initiative calmly. It was clearly a question, but he said it with confidence, as if he was ready to snatch the bride.
Tian Nongxi collapsed: "No, who said I'm getting married?"
Ultimately, it was his fault. When he received the letter, he didn't even want to wait any longer and rode here on horseback overnight.
Lin Luan sighed and said sorry.
Tian Nongxi snorted and settled the score, "You just scared me."
Lin Luan said again, I'm sorry.
After sliding across his shoulders, which had been bruised by the hoop, Tian Nongxi couldn't help but ask, "So, can you tell me who you are?"
He even agreed to arrange someone to be around her, so why did he continue to hide his identity from her?
I should continue to say, it’s okay if you don’t want to say it, I don’t care about these things, no matter who you are, we are friends.
But she didn't say anything, just held up her face and looked at Lin Luan with a longing look.
"Want to know?" Lin Luan looked back.
Tian Nongxi raised an eyebrow, "Of course."
"Why do you want to know?"
"...I just want to know."
Lin Luan looked at her earlobes, which had not yet turned red, and let out an ambiguous smile, with spring in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Tian Nongxi always felt that there was something different about him this time. His behavior was more vigorous and the way he looked at her was more...
She looked away in panic, feeling uneasy for some reason.
"Sorry." Lin Luan stopped smiling at her expression, knocked on the table, and said casually, "My last name is Wen, my given name is Tingluan, and my courtesy name is Fuzhang. Lin is my mother's... surname."
Even the name is fake...
Never mind, her name is fake too...
It's even.
Wen Tingluan watched the girl in front of him turn pale and red, her lips slightly tense, her white joints creaking, and she reluctantly continued, "I live in the capital, my parents are still alive, and we live in harmony. I am their only son."
After disturbing the capital's nest, is she the one destined to be the emperor?
Tian Nongxi was doubting himself.
Suddenly remembering something, she glanced at the paper umbrella placed by the wall at the door, then at the man who looked like he was letting her ravage him, and asked cautiously, "Is your last name Wen?"
Wen Tingluan nodded.
Like being struck by thunder.
Tian Nongxi was roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. After a while, he finally found hope and nodded to convince himself: "Your dynasty is pretty good. You even have the same surname as the emperor."
"Yeah." Wen Tingluan agreed, "I took my father's surname."
"Very good." Tian Nongxi saw Huang coming out, and he stood up quickly, muttering that he was going to cook and was about to leave.
Huang stopped her, greeted Wen Tingluan who suddenly appeared with a smile, and then turned to face her with a stern face and said she would do it herself.
"I do what I do. I love cooking the most."
Huang cursed, "What are you doing? You put so much salt in it. Who else cooks like you? Who can afford to support you if you cook like this?"
Tian Nongxi was scolded back.
She looked at the man in front of her who suddenly emitted golden light and shook her head, but the golden light was still there.
"So you are... a prince? A beile?" Tian Nongxi dug out the lines from the Qing palace dramas he watched during his undergraduate years.
Wen Tingluan shook his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you."
"No, what?" Tian Nongxi collapsed, "Are you the emperor?" She was shocked by her own thoughts, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Wen Tingluan was no longer unscrupulous.
"No." Wen Tingluan pondered for a moment and glanced at the outer wall sharply.
In an instant, the birds in the tree scattered, and a dark man jumped in front of the two of them.
The man had a dagger hanging on his waist. Tian Nongxi was frightened and his face looked ferocious as if he had seen a flood or a beast.
"Your Highness." The man clasped his hands in front of his chest and saluted gracefully. He then turned to Tian Nongxi, who had already stood up, and said, "Miss Tian."
