Chapter 222 Ancient Literature (Twenty-Five)
There is a pavilion next to the rockery, where the female members of the family eat tea and chat about family matters. Occasionally, they look at the young men with monkey-butt faces not far away and burst into laughter.
Several people were discussing which young man was better, and finally they came to Duan Fuqing.
Yes.
Before the news of Third Master Duan's marriage was released, he was also the target of many girls in the capital.
He is gentle, polite, handsome, and promising at a young age. Now he has been promoted to the position of the emperor, which makes many girls regretful and envious.
I regretted not getting her earlier, and I also envied Duan San for having a beautiful wife like Chu Yun.
Duan Yulan: ...
My brother and sister-in-law are both on my mind.
"Go quickly, he's watching you, go quickly!"
The girls stopped their discussion and looked at the young man who was being pushed and shoved towards them from a distance.
It was Li Mu, the legitimate son of the Minister of War. He was usually as fierce as a rooster in brandishing spears and clubs, but now he was like a quail, shrinking his head and being pushed and shoved by the young masters while being teased.
The tall man rubbed his fingers, trying hard to appear calm, and raised his eyes to meet Chu Yun's.
Now her redness spread all the way to her heels, making her already dark complexion even worse.
Is he cosplaying Guan Gong?
"...Don't be so mean."
Duan Yulan stood in front of Chu Yun, he wanted to block this group of beautiful girls for his third brother.
"Speak up, speak up!"
The young masters urged eagerly, wishing they could take the lead, but none of them wanted to be the first to take the initiative. The news that Young Master Xiaoyun and Duan San were going to get married was known to the whole city.
Let the reckless Li Mu go and strike up a conversation with her, and they will take action if Li Mu can steal her away.
How could Li Mu not see what these people were thinking? He didn't bother to care and was only focused on the people in front of him.
Young Master Xiaoyun is so cute... His father once asked him what kind of wife he wanted to marry. At that time, he was arrogant and felt that no one was worthy of him. Even that Young Master Su, he felt that he was not worthy of him.
But now looking at Xiaoyun, he felt a little inferior. Li Mu knew that he was big and strong and not as likable as other young masters. For the first time, he regretted why he had trained his muscles to be so big. It looked so ugly and did not match Xiaoyun at all.
"Master Xiaoyun... I... would you like to have tea with me? Or do you like to listen to books? I can do either..."
Li Mu's favorite things were archery and horse racing. He once said that men who drank tea and wrote poetry every day were sick and lacked masculinity.
The female members of the family were almost dying of laughter. Everyone knew that Li Mu was usually very eccentric, but now he was stuttering and trying to pretend to be a handsome young man. This ugly look was in stark contrast to him.
Li Mu just looked at Chu Yun. His palms were sweating and he secretly wiped them on his clothes. He remembered the faces of these people in his heart and was going to make them pay when he got back!
Chu Yun seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact he was distracted. 001 was too noisy.
[Where did this blind bear, this big guy, and this black coal ball come from! ]
"Calm down..."
The host of the banquet, Zhao Tianling, came out to smooth things over.
"Li Mu, Young Master Yun is from another place and can't understand you. Besides, he already has a future husband, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate for him to go out with you."
"I just want to be friends with him! I don't... I don't have any other thoughts!"
Only then did they realize that Chu Yun could not speak the dialect of the capital, nor could they understand it. It was strange, as he did not look like he was from another country, so how could he not understand?
Li Mu was a little anxious and no longer shy. He looked at Chu Yun eagerly, staring at her, trying to get her attention.
Chu Yun's eyes were indeed on him, and no one could remain indifferent when being stared at like that.
"what you up to?"
Although I don’t know what Young Master Xiaoyun said, the tone of doubt in his voice could not be changed.
"What's your name?" I asked.
Li Mu felt he had a chance.
"My name is Li Mu! My name is Li Mu!"
Li Mu was shouting like a fool. Chu Yun was confused. He didn't understand what the person in front of him was shouting. He urgently hoped that Duan Fuqing could come to him and help him translate.
"He doesn't understand. It's no use yelling."
Chu Yun turned around and returned to the stone table, and everyone looked at him.
Chu Yun was a little embarrassed. He poured a cup of tea and handed it to the big fool.
——Drink some tea to calm your mind.
Li Mu's heart was beating wildly. He looked at the face, which was flawless, but there was a hint of worry in the eyes. Li Mu saw his own embarrassment in the pair of glass eyes.
He took it excitedly and drank it all in one trembling gulp.
When the young masters saw this good thing happening, they all came forward.
…
Chu Yun took a nap in the carriage. Duan Yulan finally got to see what kind of character these gentlemen who were usually well-behaved and elegant were in private. When he saw Brother Yun, he was like a dog that had never eaten meat or bones in its eight lifetimes. He couldn't bear to look at him.
Poor Brother Yun, he just poured tea for them one by one. Duan Yulan even suspected that this tea was some kind of nectar.
Duan Yulan didn't know how to bring up this matter with his third brother. Should he just not say anything?
She pulled aside the curtain and looked outside, only to find something was wrong.
"Hey, stop. This is not the way back home."
There are not many people outside. This is the way to the suburbs.
"Didn't you hear me tell you to stop?"
No one answered from outside the carriage.
Duan Yulan was a little girl after all. She knew that she had to protect Chu Yun. She tried to stay strong and shouted to the outside world, but she couldn't hide the trembling in her voice.
Chu Yun noticed that something was wrong with Duan Yulan. He also looked outside the curtains and understood something.
The carriage was still speeding along, and no matter how Duan Yulan shouted, it wouldn't stop.
He is a man and wants to protect the fourth girl.
Chu Yun picked up the desk and threw it outside with all his strength, and heard a muffled groan.
Chu Yun and Duan Yulan looked at each other. It was a young man's voice. Their groom was obviously an old man.
The carriage slowly stopped, and the two people inside huddled together, staring at the curtain of the carriage's door.
Chu Yun told himself not to panic, Duan Fuqing had arranged many secret guards for him, and he would be fine.
The curtain was finally drawn open.
A completely unfamiliar face, no one noticed it in the crowd, except that this person was very tall, and his hands were big and looked a bit rough.
Duan Yulan screamed and was knocked unconscious by the man's knife.
Only Chu Yun was left.
"Fourth Miss! Fourth Miss!"
A living person was knocked unconscious in front of him. The force looked very painful. Duan Yulan's neck must be swollen.
"Worry about yourself first."
Chu Yun had nothing to defend himself with, and the carriage became cramped as soon as the tall man came in.
"What are you doing? If you dare to touch me, I'll let Duan Fuqing cut you into pieces!"
Chu Yun searched his mind for threatening words, trying to force the big man back.
In fact, his face was pale because of panic. His little face was pale, his lips were trembling uncontrollably, his eyes were frowning and glaring with a little red bloodshot, and tears were shining in his eyes.
No matter how you look at it, it's a bluffing cat.
Chu Yun only saw the tall man's Adam's apple rolling, his dark brown eyes shining, and his lips parted.
"Give me your eyes, please?"
