Chapter 832: A Place Where You Can't Find a War
"Our countryside is different from the city. I'm sorry that you've suffered so much. Please don't dislike it... This road was specially paved because we knew you were coming." Yuanjun was a little embarrassed by what she said. He shook his head helplessly at Lu Chaochao and followed the woman into the village.
"Lanzhi said that although you are the master, you take good care of her. She has always been thinking about you..."
"The wedding is tomorrow. If you don't come, she's afraid the wedding will have to be postponed." The woman looked very simple and honest, and Yuanjun felt even more embarrassed to leave after hearing this.
She had never walked on a mountain road in her life, and her feet must have been bleeding today.
The woman pulled Yuanjun's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Who is this girl?" She looked at Lu Chaochao with amazement in her eyes, but there was also a hint of calculation and estimation.
This appearance is really outstanding.
If the men in the village saw this, they would probably be unable to take their eyes off it.
Tsk…
"This is Sister Zhaoyang who is traveling with me. Sister is a local and is very well loved by her family." Yuanjun has been an orphan since childhood and is usually looked down upon by others. She doesn't want people to know that Chaochao has been living in the mountains for many years and has no relatives to rely on.
Lu Chaochao couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. The child was simple, but had a kind heart.
However, this was also because her father followed the oath he made when he prayed for a child, to raise the child to be innocent and kind.
The woman's eyes rolled around: "Miss Zhaoyang has reached the age of marriage? She looks like she should be fifteen years old..."
"What do your parents do at home?"
But Lu Chaochao just smiled without saying anything, which actually added a bit of pressure to her and made her dare not ask any more questions.
When she led Lu Chaochao and Yuanjun into the village, every household in the village opened their doors or windows, and when they saw Lu Chaochao, they all looked surprised.
"Look, what are you looking at? I wish I could stick my eyes close to you!!" A woman behind him was crying, as if she was angry because the man looked at Lu Chaochao a few more times.
"You look like a restless little bastard!"
That noble, holy and cold look is really hard to take your eyes off.
"Is this the distinguished guest from the Wu family? I heard that his father is an official... hush..."
"So what if he's an official? Tomorrow he will still be..." The sound behind him gradually died down.
Lu Chaochao looked at Yuanjun, and the little girl was already vaguely uneasy.
"Look, that's the one. Oh, Lanzhi must have been waiting for a long time..."
"Mr. Wu, your distinguished guest has been brought back. And a treasure has also come..." An elderly man came out of the kitchen. When he saw Lu Chaochao, his eyes lit up slightly, but his eyes were a little picky.
"Thank you very much, Aunt Wang. I'll come and have a few more drinks at the wedding tomorrow. If it works out, I'll definitely thank Aunt Wang." The old man smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
Aunt Wang also agreed with a smile, then looked at the two girls and left, humming a song, seeming very happy.
With a creak, the door opened.
Lanzhi pushed the door open and when she saw Yuanjun, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Miss Jun, I thought you were not coming. If you didn't come, Lanzhi would not marry me." She held Yuanjun's hand affectionately, and the uneasiness on Yuanjun's face immediately disappeared.
"Yuanjun, please entertain the sisters well. I'll go prepare dinner." The old woman left with a smile, her eyes constantly filled with laughter as she looked at Lu Chaochao.
Yuanjun was also surprised for a moment when he looked at Lu Chaochao. Indeed, such a face was extremely rare.
There is a sense of aloof nobility that makes people respect it.
"Whose daughter is this?" Lanzhi pulled Yuanjun and asked, avoiding Lu Chaochao.
Before Yuanjun came back, Lu Chaochao said calmly, "I have lived alone in the mountains for many years. This is my first time coming down the mountain, and I have no relatives to help me. I just got to know Miss Yuanjun by chance."
Lanzhi pinched her hands tightly before she smiled and said.
"Since you are here, you should drink a glass of wedding wine and share in the joyous atmosphere."
Yuan Jun sighed deeply, "It's not that I despise the poor and love the rich, nor do I look down on country people."
"But you and I grew up together. Dad even sent you to a girls' school to learn calligraphy. You can also take the imperial examination in the future. The status of us women is not what it used to be. Now we can fight for our future! How did you marry... here?"
"He's probably older than my father."
"If I had known earlier, I would have asked my father to find you a guard or a steward. It would be better than this place. You had to leave in a hurry..." Her father was an official, and the guards and stewards around him also had official jobs and status.
Lanzhi bit her lip and said, "Actually, this place is not bad either."
"When there was war, it never affected this place, and we have lived in peace ever since."
Yuan Jun got even more anxious when he heard this: "Ah? You actually found a place that we couldn't even find during the war??!"
"In this place, if a child is kidnapped by human traffickers, it is considered to be a reversal of fate!"
Lanzhi's face froze and her breathing became slightly stagnant.
"Sister Lanzhi, I'm not saying anything bad, but although Yuanjun is young, the man is too careless."
"You have lived with me in the city since you were young, and you have grown up in luxury. Can't he hold his wedding in the city? You and I grew up together, and if you ask daddy, I can ask him to open a side door and send you off to marry. Besides, you are not married yet, and you are living in his house. How can such a thing happen..."
Lanzhi pursed her lips tightly: "I don't want anything else, he is good to me."
"They have to hold weddings in their hometown here, so when in Rome, we should follow the local customs. I'm sorry to trouble you, sister Yuanjun. I have already cleaned up the side room, please don't dislike it, sister Yuanjun." Lanzhi took her arm affectionately and walked into the house. Yuanjun did not forget to turn around and call Lu Chaochao.
The room was kept clean and tidy. Although there were no valuable things in it, it was clean.
"Sister Zhaoyang lives in the same room with me. I begged you to come here, so of course I can't be separated from you." Yuanjun felt secretly regretful. If he had known that his sister was so pretty, he would not have brought her here.
It’s not that she was jealous, but she really didn’t bring any maids or servants this time. Her sister was so beautiful, she couldn’t be targeted by bad guys.
Lanzhi glanced at Lu Chaochao and saw that she looked delicate and more like a lady from a noble family than Yuanjun, so she just smiled and agreed.
"I'll bring you a blanket later."
"Yuanjun, I'm really happy that you are here. Ever since mother passed away, you have been the only one who treats me as a sister." Lanzhi held Yuanjun's hand, her eyes full of tears.
The two chatted about some interesting childhood memories, and Lanzhi had someone bring in some food.
After a while, he closed the door and walked out.
Lu Chaochao's ears moved slightly, as if the key was locked. She had frivolous eyelids as she sat at the table with Yuanjun and had her meal together.
Although it was just some light porridge and side dishes, it was delicious and Lu Chaochao ate a big bowl of it.
Yuanjun put her hand on her chin and said, "Seeing you eating is like a deity descending to earth..."
"There are only fairies like Sister Zhaoyang in heaven, right? No, no, no, you can't compare Sister Zhaoyang with those hypocritical people in heaven."
"Sister, why do you think Sister Lanzhi wanted to marry here?"
"I have seen that person before. He is handsome and elegant... He is extremely talented... He has none of those qualities."
"Even...even a little old. He looks older than my father..."
"Other people have to serve two parents, four elderly people in her husband's family and her own family. She has to serve five... What is she trying to do?" Yuanjun fell on the bed, muttering in a daze.
