The young man's nose is high, his brows are like knives, and his eyes have a hint of indifference, as if they are the eternal ice on the snowy mountains. He is Yuan Lintian, the second son of the Yuan family.
"Lu Jian!" Yuan Lintian shouted, and a child with thick eyebrows and big eyes ran up from downstairs. He looked almost the same as him, but not a few years younger.
"Sir, what's the matter with calling me?" The boy, dressed in coarse linen and linen as a servant, spoke with a respectful tone and sincere eyes.
Although Lingxing Pavilion is not big, it is only slightly smaller than other courtyards, but it is still much larger than ordinary people's residences.
There is a two-story attic, a five-cornered pavilion, and a yard of several acres, but the patriarch only assigned him one servant, and he basically takes care of food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
There used to be many servants in Lingxing Pavilion, but then some accidents happened, coupled with some rumors, and finally they all reported illness and left. Only this boy whom he picked up from the roadside a few years ago has been serving him wholeheartedly to this day.
Lu Jian means "picking up on the road". Later, the young master changed his name to another word, and it has been called Lu Jian to this day.
"Who is here? Why can they break into the courtyard?" Yuan Lintian pointed at the yelling woman downstairs and asked with confusion.
"Master Qi, here is Xiao Ling Dang, the second girl of the Ting family." Lu Jian replied.
"Little Bell? Why did she come up and scold me when I've never met her?" Yuan Lintian asked again.
"My second young master, didn't I tell you the day before yesterday that the clan leader has arranged a marriage for you, and that woman is her." Lu Jian saw that although the young master had a photographic memory of the complicated symbols on the scroll, he was not familiar with the complicated symbols on the scroll. He didn't care about his life-long affairs at all, and he suddenly felt helpless.
"Marriage? It doesn't mean that the other party is still considering it, why did he come to scold her today!" Yuan Lintian looked stunned, as if he thought that he had indeed heard the news a few days ago. He looked at the petite but terrible-tempered woman in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head.
Lu Jian on the side looked at the young master shaking his head, then looked at the woman downstairs, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer this question.
The Ting family belongs to the four major families. Although they are ranked last in terms of strength, no one dares to look down upon them.
Recently, for some unknown reason, King Ting suddenly proposed that her second daughter should be married to the eldest young master of the Yuan family. It is said that she saw the eldest son's outstanding appearance and excellent aptitude, so she decided to marry her. However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that she values the power of the Yuan family more.
The original intention was to make the alliance between the two families more powerful, but he didn't know that King Yuan didn't want to see the Ting family. After all, the women of the Ting family are proficient in love spells. If they secretly placed a love spell on the eldest young master, who would be responsible for it? Home!
However, he refused directly because he was afraid of embarrassing King Ting. He happened to think that there was a evil star in the family, so he used the excuse that the eldest son had a lover, so that the second son could marry Xiao Lingdang.
Whether she is sincere in the marriage or has other intentions, it doesn't matter if she marries the second young master. After all, no one even cares about Yuan Lintian's life or death.
Although the Ting family didn't get angry in person when they got the news, they became increasingly angry in their hearts.
Adults will never show their feelings no matter how unhappy they are, but children are different.
No, this is today's willful thing.
When Lu Jian talked about this matter with the young master a few days ago, he said it tactfully, saying that the patriarch had found a marriage for him and that the other party was considering it.
So now that I saw the second young master's disgusted expression, I didn't know what to say.
"Today it seems...the other party is unwilling!" Lu Jian spread her hands and said helplessly.
"Well~ I've been scolded like this, even a deaf person can hear it." Yuan Lintian nodded, but his eyes were calm and unwavering.
"Go and tell that girl. If you don't want to, then don't. I don't want to marry her either." Yuan Lintian said directly.
"This... Young Master, I..." Lu Jian felt dizzy upon hearing this.
The young master is not sociable, and his words are extremely cold and direct, but he knows that all these are disguised by the young master. In fact, he is kind and treats others very well, but he has no friends, or because of the rumors, so he can only act aloof. attitude.
But the young master can say this. How dare he go down and say this? He hesitated and froze for a while.
"What are you still doing? Go down and send her away!" Yuan Lintian ordered.
"Uh... okay." Lu Jian nodded and walked downstairs.
In a short while, Xiao Lingdang and others had already stood under the attic, and also saw the handsome young man by the window on the second floor.
She stared at Yuan Lintian, but found that this man had a clear face and a good skin. However, his eyes only glanced at her face and turned away. Suddenly, the anger in her heart became more intense, and she said loudly:
"You want to marry me! There's no way!"
"Ha~ The sound is as clear as a bell, and it is indeed a small bell." Hearing the woman's voice, Yuan Lintian smiled bitterly and ignored her again, raising his hand to close the window.
When Little Lingdang saw that he was ignoring him, she became even more furious!
Not only was this young man arrogant and weak, he actually dared to shut the door on me. He wanted to curse a few more words, but for a moment he didn't know how to express himself.
After all, she is considered to be from a distinguished family, and those who can do things usually don't use words.
But today she came to cause trouble with her mother's secret permission, but it was just to regain some face, and it was impossible to hurt anyone.
After all, this is the mansion of the Yuan family, and although the other party is extremely unpopular in the clan, he is always the second son.
She was so angry that she stamped her feet but didn't know what to do.
A maid in purple clothes next to her saw that the young lady was angry, so she stepped forward, pinched her waist with one hand, and raised her fingers with the other hand. Her already chubby figure looked like a teapot because of this shape. She shouted to the attic:
"It is said that you are a lonely evil star, and anyone who comes near you will die!"
"You killed your mother when you were born, you killed your servants when you were young, and now you want to eat swan meat like a toad. Do you want to kill our young lady?"
"..."
"Kill the mother...the evil star...!"
Other words seemed to be automatically filtered, but these words floated through the window and were clearly heard!
When Yuan Lintian heard these words, his calm face finally changed. The corners of his mouth twitched and his heart trembled. An unknown fire suddenly rose. Just when he was about to open the window and scold him, suddenly a sadness filled his heart. Somewhat Sad and a little helpless.
"Why are you talking about me like this?"
"First, my mother died due to childbirth, and then a servant fell into the water and drowned. In addition, a wandering monk said a word, and I became a man-loving demon that everyone was afraid of."
"Is it all my fault?!"
"Mother! Can you see the child?"
"I really wish it was me who died that day!"
The thoughts in my heart were rolling, and I was suddenly filled with sadness, and two tears slipped quietly from my eyes.
At this moment, Lu Jian had already run downstairs and walked to the little bell.
"Girl, please come back. This matter is all decided by the elders. Young Master..." Lu Jian looked at Xiao Lingdang's angry look, and then looked at the maid next to her who was shouting at the top of her voice like a boiling teapot. She suddenly He swallowed the sentence "I don't want to marry you" alive, and then secretly glanced at Xiao Lingdang's appearance, sighing in his heart: It would be great if the young master could marry her, but it's a pity...
Thinking of this, his conversation suddenly changed: "Young Master, ever since he met the girl from a distance that year, he has often thought about it. A few days ago, he heard that King Ting was interested in getting married, so he expressed his love to the clan leader. Now that he has learned about the girl today, If you have any thoughts, then give up!"
"I'll go back and tell the young master to let him die!"
Little Lingdang was startled when she heard the sound. She originally thought it was King Yuan who was cunning, but she didn't expect that there was such a reason. She suddenly felt as if she had lost an enemy and had no direction.
She bit her lip with her silver teeth, reached out and patted the teapot-like maid, and whispered: "Let's go, Ziyun, I'm done with my anger!"
At this moment, the window that had been closed suddenly opened, revealing a handsome young man.
The young man's eyes were slightly red, as if they were stained by tears. He looked at the little bell and said lightly: "Girl, please come back. If you don't want to marry, then don't marry. No one is forcing you!"
Xiao Lingdang just listened to Lu Jian's words, and then looked at Yuan Lintian's cold expression. It was clear that he was heartbroken but pretending to be strong after being ruthlessly rejected by his admirer. Suddenly, his heart shuddered and he felt a little distressed.
"let's go!"
Little Bell led everyone to flee.
