Phoenix Moon Boundless

  She called out three or four times, but Zhao Jia Lang Jun, who had been gentle with her during the day, did not turn his head. He hung his head low, and from this angle, his expression and movements were truly pitiful.

  Qian's girl was naturally unwilling, and she choked again: "Zhao Lang, you talk to me."

  After she called out twice more, Zhao Jia Lang finally turned his head around.

  In Qian Shi's surprised and expectant eyes, Zhao Jia Lang Jun furrowed his brow, his face also not looking good. He glanced at her and said in a low voice: "Don't call me that from now on." In the suddenly pale face of Qian Shi, Zhao Jia Lang Jun felt a thread of reluctance in his heart, but thinking of the wife waiting for him at home, he still turned his head resolutely.

  He really doesn't want her anymore!

  He really didn't want her anymore, but just one song, one sentence, and he gave up on her. In the bright daylight, he looked into her eyes which were still full of tenderness, and she even thought that if she married him in the future, although she wouldn't be able to match his noble status as his official wife, she could still rely on this favoritism to secure a place for herself.

  Now it seems that she is nothing at all. The tenderness and generosity he gave her were just things that could be taken back whenever he wanted.

  Qian's head jerked up in a daze and panic. At this time, her hand warmed up, and she heard her own younger brother say seriously beside her: "Sister, don't worry, no matter what, you still have me." As he said this, the young man glared fiercely at that Zhao Langjun.

  The young man was a bookworm and didn't blame Lu Xuan either. After all, none of Lu Xuan's words were directed at his own sister.

  The one who has truly teased his own sister and doesn't want her is this Zhao family's young master, who relies on his family's power to do as he pleases!

  But he hated it. Yet, there was nothing he could do. After all, Zhao Langjun had only been gentle with his sister, and he hadn't made any promises to her yet, nor had he touched her body.

  If you really want to calculate it, then it's all because sister doesn't know how to love herself...

  Thinking of this, the young man's heart was in a knot of distress. Beside him, Qian's daughter had fallen onto her brother's shoulder and began to sob.

  On the other side, Lu Xuan glanced at Zhao Jialang and Qian Shi's daughter before withdrawing her gaze.

  Ati was still moved to tears, she cried for a while, pulled out her handkerchief and wiped it away, but the more she wiped, the more tears flowed, so she pulled up a sleeve and wiped them away.

  Lu Xuan couldn't help but look at his long sleeve, which had been wiped with a mixture of nasal mucus and tears. He let out a soft sigh and said, "Ati, why are you so heartbroken?"

  As soon as she said this, several girls stared at her with accusation.

  Ati sobbed: "I... I'm just heartbroken." She covered her face and said: "Women are born into this world, why is there so much suffering? Having a good husband is bitter, not having a good husband is also bitter."

  She slowly raised her head, tearfully looking at Lu Yue and asked: "Ah Yue, why do you think Wang Lang doesn't want me? I really like him, like him so much that it hurts."

  Lü Yuè glanced at her, then looked at Wáng Shàng sitting not far away, with deep and solemn eyebrows. She thought that this Wáng Shàng was a good person, at least. He didn't take a liking to ā Tí, so he firmly and decisively pushed her away from the start. Otherwise, with ā Tí's personality, it would be easy for anyone, male or female, to become friends with her. But he didn't give her any hope at all. Wasn't that a kind of redemption for her?

  Ati was still crying beside her. Xiao Yan and others gradually came back to their senses.

  After making a fuss for a while, it was soon deep into the night. Until they entered the tent. Ati still held onto Luyue's hand and wouldn't let go, sobbing nonstop as she said: "Luyue, I really wish we could be like Zhuo Wenjun, in our next life, you can be a man and I'll be a woman."

  That night, everyone slept poorly. Lu Xing woke up in the middle of the night and faintly heard the whispers and sighs of the girls.

  The next morning, the team set off again.

  This time, Qian's family thoroughly quieted down. After all, she was just an ordinary girl from a small place, and after Zhao Langjun refused her, she had no face to entangle him again, nor did she have the face to appear in front of everyone.

  As they walked, when the high walls of Chengdu City appeared in sight, the young men and women couldn't help but let out a cheer, while not far away, the Chen family also breathed a sigh of relief.

  This is Chengdu.

  Lu Xuan raised her head and stared blankly. This was her first time in Chengdu, a long time ago, she had heard of its great reputation from many people, knowing it was prosperous, beautiful, magnificent, with cars and horses galloping, and also knew that it was one of the few large cities in the world.

  Ati, who had long since recovered, exclaimed from behind: "Ah, finally back, great!" After calling out a couple of times, she burst into laughter and said: "When I get home, I'm going to sleep for two whole days, sleeping nonstop on the soft bed, rolling around!"

  The maid behind her said: "Miss, there are many young masters present, you can't say that!"

  Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile. She turned her head to glance at Atai, who was laughing so hard she almost rolled around in the carriage, and smiled: "Chengdu is indeed magnificent!"

  "Right, right? I told you before, Chengdu is great, there's no place more beautiful than it in the world." She said this as she leaned out of the carriage window. "A Xue, don't you have any relatives in Chengdu? Come home with me."

  As soon as her voice fell, the other two girls also called out: "Come to my house, come to my house." "Hehe, Ah Yue still go to my house." Along with not far away, Wen Qing and others were also staring at Lu Yue, waiting for her response.

  Lu Xing's heart warmed up and she couldn't help but smile, "I won't go, I'll just live in the guest room, might as well buy the house early."

  "You're really stubborn." Atti muttered and then called out: "Aru, we did tell you our home address, and even sent you a package. Once you've found a place to stay, be sure to let us know."

  "Alright, I'll definitely let you know." Lu Xuan's smile was no longer cold and distant, but warm.

  Not far away, the Chen family and Qian brothers were watching this scene. Compared with the Qian girl's unhappy and jealous expression, Chen Zhen's expression was much more complicated.

  In the midst of laughter and chatter, the convoy soon arrived at the city gate.

  Here, the relatives of various families had already been waiting to welcome them, listening to Atie laughing and rushing into someone's arms. Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said to Yu Fu, "No need to wait for them, let's hurry into the city."

  He urged his husband to finish the task as soon as possible and go home. He happily responded with a "yes" and hurriedly drove the donkey cart into the city.

  Compared to Hankou, Chengdu is indeed a place where people flow like the sea and horse carriages are numerous. Lu Xun's donkey cart walked among them, stopping every few steps before moving on again.

  After driving for a while, he asked: "Sister, where are you planning to stay?"

  "Put me down next to the Huazhen Academy, will you? It's getting late, I'll give Uncle some extra money to find an inn for himself too. If Uncle is lucky, he might even be able to find a single passenger going from Chengdu back to Hanyang."

  The husband chuckled and said: "You have a good heart, my wife." He thought to himself: This wife of mine is usually not one for idle chatter. But she really does have a kind heart.

  After squeezing for about an hour on the street, the donkey cart finally found Huatian Academy. Lu Yue paid the remaining rent and added a little accommodation fee, then carried his luggage to a nearby inn not far from the academy.

  Found an inn and paid for a room for two days. After Lu Xuan hid his luggage properly, he left the inn.

  Chengdu has always been a place where outstanding people and spirits emerge. Not only are the buildings magnificent and elegant, but so are the people. Lu Xun in his Han-style robe was unparalleled in the city of Hangyang. In Chengdu, although he still stood out, he was not as rare as before.

  From a small town with few people to a place crowded with people, it's hard to take a step. Although calm by nature, I am also extremely excited.

  Chengdu people are skilled with their hands, all along the way. Everywhere is displaying some small trinkets woven out by skillful hands. Not far away, Lu Xuan also saw words written on bamboo slips.

  Seeing these piles of bamboo slips and the detailed explanations on them, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile wryly: It seems that I have to find another way to make a living.

  On the streets, there were people playing tricks, performing acrobatics, and writing on the ground with their feet; everywhere you looked, there were shouts and cries mixed together, loud enough to make your ears ache.

  Lu Xiang walked while looking around in all directions, and didn't know which street she had arrived at. Suddenly, a woman darted out from an alleyway.

  The woman ran straight up to Luoyin and blocked her way.

  Lu Xuan was taken aback and involuntarily turned his head to look over.

  The round-faced woman with a bright smile asked, "May I ask, sir, how old are you this year?"

  Huh?

  Lu Yuennan hesitated for a moment before responding, "Sixteen."

  "Is there an arranged marriage?"

  Lu Xuan's eyes widened until the woman asked again, then he replied expressionlessly: "No."

  "Great!" The woman was overjoyed, her eyebrows rising in delight. She pointed behind her and leaned in to whisper to Lu Yue: "The young master is as handsome as jade and moonlight, his appearance surpasses others. My daughter has taken a liking to him at first sight and wishes to be betrothed to him!"

  Huh? Luoyue had never dealt with a situation like this before and subconsciously looked up.

  But then, less than thirty steps away from her, a master and servant were staring at her intently. As they met Lu Xue's gaze, the delicate face of the nun-like girl flushed red. Although shy, she didn't dodge or evade, but instead opened her eyes wide and stared back at Lu Xue with sincerity.

  Luo Ying had long heard that the people of Chengdu, regardless of gender, have a straightforward and genuine side to their nature, but it wasn't until now that she truly understood.

  This girl is really bold. To see someone she likes on the street and directly express her feelings, offering marriage?

  Perhaps Lu Xuan's gaze was too direct, and the cold expression made the girl timid. She blushed and lowered her head, but only for a moment before secretly glancing at Lu Xuan again, with joy in her eyes.

  Lu Xuan looked at her, and his heart softened involuntarily. He secretly sighed: Life had forced him to be more calculating and less impulsive, but this little girl was truly admirable.

  She bowed her head and made a deep bow in the direction of the girl, saying softly: "Although Xiao Ke has no engagement, she already has someone in her heart, please forgive me." As soon as the words of refusal came out, the woman in front of her was disappointed, while the girl not far away opened her eyes wide, looking at Lu Yue with extreme expectation and tension, tilting her ears to listen but couldn't hear anything.

  Lu Xuan said, "Your sister-in-law is very good, but there are many people in the world who are not fortunate. Your sister-in-law is young and may not be able to distinguish between good and bad people. Therefore, it's better to have this marriage arranged by your parents or family members. Farewell." After saying that, she stood up straight, turned around and left.
