Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 148: Looking for him among the crowd

"It's your own fault that you did such a stupid thing." Rong Jin glared at Zhenzhu, looking very disappointed in her.

Pearl chuckled and lowered her head embarrassedly.

Hualei pointed to the bundle next to Zhenzhu and asked, "What is this?"

"Riding suit, hehe." Pearl had a sly smile on her face. Hualei looked at her and couldn't help but laugh. She didn't forget to bring her equipment even when running away secretly. She was really unique.

"You have sneaked out now, but what will you do when you go back at night? You can escape the monk but you cannot escape the temple." Hua Lei was worried about her.

"It's okay. At worst I can hide in my grandmother's house at night. If that doesn't work, I'll faint again. My mother will just be angry for a while, she won't really do anything to me."

Zhenzhu didn't care. She had sneaked out to play more often than Rongjin since she was a child. When her second sister Manou was still married, the two sisters didn't dare to say that they sneaked out every day, but they did sneak out every few days to ride horses for fun.

Although Madam Han was always angry and always said that she would discipline her, what she did most was to lock her up in the yard and not let her out. When she was angry, she would make her stand in the corner. Not to mention beating her, she rarely scolded her. Since the last time when Pearl pretended to faint, she was not even punished by standing in the corner.

So even though Mrs. Han felt that Zhenzhu had done something so extraordinary as to reach out her hand through the car window and wave goodbye to the man she was seeing, she would just detain her in the yard and make her embroider.

"Ah." Hua Lei sighed and said, "Actually, your aunt is really good to you. She gives you everything you want. She also gives you the best clothes and jewelry. Why do you always make your mother angry?"

To be honest, Mrs. Han is not a bad person. She should be regarded as a typical female role model of this era. She stays at home every day, takes care of her husband and children, serves her parents-in-law, behaves in a proper manner, and never steps out of line.

The most outrageous thing she had done in her life was probably that she didn't listen to her parents' arrangement and insisted on marrying Rong Jin's father Pei Jingyang. And the only thing Pei Jingyang had done in his life that went against the wishes of the old Marquis Pei was marrying Madam Han.

It is said that Pei Jingyang met Madam Han, whose maiden name was Han Xueman, at a lantern festival during the Lantern Festival. Pei Jingyang was struck by the beauty of Han Xueman after a glimpse of her beauty. He fell in love with her and never forgot her. He asked around for news about the fairy Han, but could not get any information.

Just when he was feeling depressed, he met Madam Han again at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival. It was like the old saying, "I searched for her everywhere, but she was nowhere to be found." From then on, Pei Jingyang couldn't stop and pursued Madam Han relentlessly.

However, at that time, Han Dafu's father, Han Zhengliang, was a fifth-rank university scholar in the Hanlin Academy. Although his official position was not high, he had served as a lecturer who taught the emperor scriptures and history. He was not the emperor's teacher, but he could be regarded as a close minister to the emperor. He was a proper clean official who attached great importance to etiquette and rules.

How could such an old man like Mr. Han look down upon Pei Jingyang, the son of a military commander who behaved rudely and unruly? Although Mr. Pei and Pei Jingyang were still a long way from being rude and unruly,

. But in Han Zhengliang's eyes, Pei Jingyang is a useless person. You know, military generals have to go to the border to fight at any time. What if God doesn't open his eyes and he dies one day? Then his delicate daughter will be a widow. Even if he is lucky and doesn't die, he will be stationed at the border for a long time, and the couple will live apart. What's the difference between being a widow?

So Han Zhengliang really didn't like Pei Jingyang, not to mention that after seeing his daughter at the Mid-Autumn Festival, this brat Pei Jingyang shamelessly approached her and asked her name and where she lived, and even told her that he had long admired her. What's the difference between this and the hooligans on the street? It's even worse.

So when Mr. Han saw Pei Jingyang coming to his house, he really had someone take a stick and drive Pei Jingyang out directly. Instead of just pretending to drive him out verbally. But Pei Jingyang was a skilled martial artist and agile, and the sticks of the seven or eight servants of the Han family could not hit him at all.

Old Man Han was so angry that he took a stick and hit Pei Jingyang. This time he really hit him, but Pei Jingyang was not injured yet, but Old Man Han sprained his waist. Just tell me, if you were Old Man Han, would you be angry? Angry? That was real anger!

But before Mr. Han could get angry, the maid next to his daughter came running over in a hurry, saying that his daughter was sick. This was unacceptable. Mr. Han, who regarded Han Xueman as an eyeball, ignored Pei Jingyang standing in front of the door, closed the door, and went straight to his daughter's yard.

After going there, I learned that my daughter felt dizzy and almost fell, but was saved by the maid in time. I was glad that my daughter was not sick and I never thought about the truth of this matter.

Little did he know that his daughter also fell in love with Pei Jingyang at first sight. Not to mention that Pei Jingyang had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and looked very heroic, he was also tall and strong, and very different from those weak scholars who could not lift anything around her father that she had seen since she was a child. There was a huge difference between them.

The key is Pei Jingyang's passionate and straightforward pursuit, which is almost crazy, which makes Han Xueman's heart beat faster. He is much better than those scholars who speak in a roundabout way, act timidly, and blush when they look at her. How can she, a woman who never goes out of the house, refuse such a straightforward and passionate feeling? Moreover, Pei Jingyang has a prominent family background and is both literary and martial.

Pei Jingyang's character is quite different from Rong Jin's. When he was young, Pei Jingyang was bold and willful, fearless and courageous. He was bold and outspoken and rarely looked back. At that time, in the capital, Pei Jingyang, riding a white horse and wearing a red dress, was a young man in bright clothes and a fierce horse. He was the dream of many young girls.

If the royal family had not had a princess of the right age, Pei Jingyang would have been given the title of Prince Consort. It was only natural that such a perfect young man would be favored by Han Xueman, a woman from the inner chambers.

But as the saying goes, good things take time. Old Master Han definitely doesn't like Pei Jingyang, a bad boy, and how could Old Marquis Pei like the delicate and frail Han Xueman?

In the eyes of Lord Pei, Han Xueman was just a pretty clay doll, not even a porcelain doll.
