Peach Blossom Land On Longyin Island Chapter 62

Plans change

“An Ran! An Ran! Why are you getting married again?!” Before the next day, in the evening when An Ran and Butler Kong were talking, An Ran, An Mai, and An Tu shouted and rushed to the main courtyard where An Ran and An Xiaoyu lived.At that time, An Xiaoyu had just finished drinking the medicine and the two were about to go to bed.

Hearing the shout, An Ran and An Xiaoyu looked at each other, silently left the bed, and sat down at the round table in the room.After a moment, three people broke in after two bangs on the door.

The three of them looked at An Ran and An Xiaoyu in surprise and doubt. Before the three of them spoke, An Ran asked them, “What are you busy with?”

“Is now the time to say this?!” An Linmian shouted, “What did Uncle Kong say that you are getting married on the 18th next month?!”

“Why are you so excited? This is not the first time.” An Ran was very calm.

An Tu scratched his head and said in confusion: “Lele, Brother Xiaoyu, haven’t you been married before?”

An Xiaoyu calmly continued: “The Kingdom of Jin does not recognize the marriage certificate in Longyin Village, so we have to get married again.”

An Linmian looked quite annoyed: “But aren’t you going back to the village?!”

“Go back,” An Ran said, “come back after the marriage is over.”

Anmai nodded thoughtfully: “I see, it’s for Xiaoyu’s family, so that’s fine…”

An Linmian: “What’s so good! There’s going to be a war, they’re getting married!”

An Ran looked at An Linmian: “Why start a war?”

An Tu: “Then let’s wait until Brother Xiaoyu and Brother Lele get married.”

An Ran looked at An Tu: “What kind of war are you starting?”

“There’s still a month left! I can’t wait any longer!” An Linmian gritted his teeth and shouted, “These bastards!”

An Ran looked at An Linmian: “What are you waiting for?”

Antu: “Sister Mianmian, Brother Xiaoyu’s marriage is the most important thing. If you don’t tolerate it any longer, I just learned a saying recently: It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge…”

An Ran looked at An Tu: “What are you enduring?”

An Linmian slapped the table: “I can’t bear it! I can’t hold this anger in for one more day!”

An Ran: “…” After being repeatedly ignored by An Linmian and An Tu, An Ran and An Xiaoyu looked at each other and then looked at An Mai.

“Wheat, what are you going to do?” An Ran asked.

Anmai said: “Let’s take it out on Xiaoyu.”

An Ran knew that this was the case. What he wanted to ask was how to do it specifically, but before he could ask, An Xiaoyu spoke first and warned in a very serious tone: “Don’t beat the person to death. If you die, you won’t be able to explain to your grandmother.”

An Mai smiled: “Don’t worry, I’m watching.”

An Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

An Ran was still curious: “What are you going to do?”

Anmai smiled and said, “Reciprocity is a courtesy.”

An Ran was confused and blinked, indicating that he didn’t understand and needed further explanation.But An Mai said, “I won’t disturb your rest. Let’s wait until your wedding is finished.” After saying that, he dragged An Linmian, who was cursing, with one hand, and waved An Tu back with the other.

The wedding was on May 16th, and the night An Linmian came was the 10th day of April. After that day, An Linmian, Anmai Anti, and the others seemed to be no longer so busy. From time to time, they could see a few people in the house and occasionally have meals together.

As the days approached, Prince Su’s Mansion became busier and busier. Many people came in and out all day long, making it very lively.

Although the wedding was arranged by Butler Kong so An Ran didn’t have to worry about it, An Xiaoyu was extremely busy.An Xiaoyu had to consult An Xiaoyu for everything, big or small, and accordingly, the two of them spent less time together.

An Ran rarely goes out these days, because every time she goes out, she always attracts a lot of attention.The news that the prince is marrying a beautiful young man with a mole on his left eye as his concubine has spread all over the city.

The characteristic of the mole under An Ran’s eyes was too obvious. Wherever he went, he would feel the prying eyes of people around him, so An Ran would not go out.

An Ran was not a person who could stand loneliness, but he wanted to avoid An Xiaoyu for a while, for no other reason than that he noticed that An Xiaoyu was not as happy as he appeared.

An Ran knew the reason very well: more than ten days had passed, and no one came to the palace again.

Neither the prince nor the queen mother compromised.

Their wedding was held for Lu Qian’s imperial grandmother, and the Queen Mother did not approve of their marriage. An Ran knew this well.

A thunderstorm at the end of April officially announced the end of spring and the arrival of summer.Since then, there has been heat in the air, which is getting stronger every day.

After coming to this world, An Ran drank cold drinks for the first time, as did An Linmian, An Mai, and An Tu.

“It’s so refreshing~” After taking a big sip of the sour plum soup with ice cubes, An Linmian let out a long sigh of satisfaction.After sighing, he caught a glimpse of An Ran’s absent-minded look, leaned forward and asked, “Hey, An Ran, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so worried? Are you anxious about the wedding?”

Before An Ran could answer, An Tu spoke first: “Sister Mianmian, what are you talking about? It’s not Lele’s first time getting married, so how can there be any pre-marriage anxiety?”

An Ran didn’t tell many people about the incident between An Xiaoyu and the Queen Mother.They have lived in Longyin Village since they were born, living a life like a paradise. They don’t understand the complexity of the royal family, power, and struggle, but they care about their friends especially. An Ran doesn’t want to add to their troubles, so he changes the subject and says, “What is your revenge plan? It won’t bring big trouble to An Xiaoyu, right?”

“So that’s what I was worried about.” An Linmian tilted his upper body back, lay down on the recliner again, crossed his legs, and said leisurely: “We are all gone, so what if we cause trouble? They can’t catch us.”

As soon as these words came out, An Ran was immediately alert: “What do you mean? Did you do it with the intention of running away after doing it?”

An Linmian raised his eyebrows arrogantly: “Yes, we will run away after taking revenge. The fast horses are ready. To take revenge, find the right son and return to the village.”

After hearing the three people’s plan, An Ran’s mind was at a loss for a while, then he turned to An Mai with wide eyes and disbelief: “Mai… Maizi! Didn’t you say you would watch them!”

Anmai’s small and delicate face blinked with two big, watery eyes, indicating that it was indeed true and that she had a clear conscience.

An Ran was speechless, opened her mouth slightly, and stared at An Mai blankly.

“No one will die.” An Mai smiled brightly and said, “I won’t be able to get out of bed for a few months at most.”

“Just like those three bad guys who bullied Brother Xiaoyu, they just stayed in bed for a few months.” An Tu continued lightly.

He knew that An Tu and An Lin Mian had stopped and beat up the three young men who had isolated An Xiaoyu in the Imperial College in the street. However, although those three were the sons of officials, they did not hold official positions after all. After learning that An Tu and An Tu were the prince’s people, the three families naturally did not dare to cause trouble.

But this time it was different. From what they said, they obviously wanted to beat up the minister who impeached An Xiaoyu.

“No, no way!!” After a long time, An Ran, who had returned from his thoughts, yelled, “Have you ever watched “The Golden Law”?! It is a serious crime to beat a court official!”

An Linmian disagreed: “You can only be punished if you catch him.”

“How can you escape with so many guards in the capital!”

“Let’s run on horseback,” An Tu said matter-of-factly, “They are all horses that can cover a thousand miles, and you can’t catch them.”

Anmai smiled and said: “It only takes half a cup of tea to go from Zhuque Street to Xuanwumen. I have already planned the retreat route. Once we leave the city, we will no longer be able to catch up with us.”

“What about Anshun?! It’s not that easy to find someone! When our portraits are plastered all over the country, how can we find someone!”

“If you don’t go looking for him,” An Mai smiled lightly, “We will wait for him in Wujiang City.”

“But how does he know that we are in Wujiang City?”

“Her name is Wu Jiang,” An Tu took a sip of sour plum soup and pointed at An Lin Mian and continued, “Our portrait will be plastered all over the country, and Brother Ashun will be able to understand it at a glance.”

“…” An Ran suddenly became mute. Looking at the three people who were calm and composed, he frowned and thought for a while, then asked: “When can it be executed at the earliest?”

The method of revenge was very simple. It was proposed by An Linmian and was very consistent with the style of doing things in Longyin Village: one scolding, two beatings, and three running away.But under Enron’s obstruction, only “cursing” was left.

According to An Linmianyan: “Revenge must be carried out in broad daylight. It must be in front of the people of the whole capital and in front of An Xiaoyu, with gongs and drums beating, and in a big way. This is called venting anger for An Xiaoyu!”

So, on a bright and sunny morning, An Linmian led a gong and drum team, beating gongs and drums all the way along Zhuque Street towards the Meridian Gate where all the civil and military officials went.At this time, it was the busiest time of Zhuque Street. Vendors gathered on both sides of the road, and the sound of selling was endless.The shops on the street were doing good business, customers were coming in and out, and the waiter’s shouts came from the wine shop and teahouse.Zhuque Street is packed with people and noisy.

Before An Linmian led the gong team to stop a group of cultural relics officials who had just left the court, passers-by on the road just thought that some family had a happy event. Occasionally they raised their heads and looked sideways, and most of them looked back for a while and then turned back to focus on themselves. The only ones attracted by the sound of gongs and drums were the playful children.

But when the sound of gongs and drums stopped and An Linmian’s loud voice was amplified several times through the copper trumpet and drowned out the noisy human voices, pedestrians on the road looked sideways.There is no other reason, just because An Linmian shouted loudly, “Who is Li Yuan? Li Yuan of the Ministry of Rites?! Li Yuan, the Minister of Rites!” including his first name, surname and official position., there was a sigh of relief all around.

Among the officials wearing bright red and purple official robes who were stopped by An Linmian, a middle-aged man with a long beard and a crimson official robe walked out. He looked at An Linmian blankly and said, “Who are you, girl? Why are you looking for me?” He was halfway interrupted by An Linmian’s loud and rude voice: “It’s you, isn’t it?”

An Linmian held a trumpet in his right hand, and held up a scroll with pictures and words in his left hand. He looked at the bust on the scroll, nodded to himself and murmured: “Yes, it’s you.”

Li Yuan opened his mouth to speak again. As soon as he uttered a word, he heard a loud “bang” sound from a gong. Before he could say anything, the sound of the gong shook him back into his stomach.

“You’re going to say something if I ask you to?” At this time, someone moved a long box and placed it in front of An Linmian. An Linmian stepped on it and shouted to Li Yuan with his trumpet: “It’s you, Li Yuan, the minister of etiquette. You spend all your time watching others marry or not. You talk about benevolence, justice, etiquette, and filial piety and you open your mouth to complain. Even at your age, you still shamelessly marry an eighteen-year-old concubine…”

“You–” As soon as An Linmian said this, Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and then became angry. He blushed and pointed at An Linmian with his hand, as if to scold him, but every time he wanted to speak, a deafening sound of gongs would sound from the opposite gongs and drums team at the right time to interrupt him. When the sound of the gongs was weak, An Linmian would seize the opportunity to spit out sweet words: “I married eight concubines and didn’t give birth to a son. It’s useless to marry more concubines if I can’t…”

The crowd of onlookers was already boiling, and the chatter and snickers were mixed together like boiling water.

When Li Yuan saw that he couldn’t say anything, he became so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and started to pull An Linmian away.However, before he could get closer, two young guards with stern expressions stepped forward, one holding a sword and the other holding the East Palace token, blocking Li Yuan on the left and right.

One person said: “Master Li, Miss Wujiang is the savior of His Highness the Crown Prince. We are ordered to protect Miss Wujiang. I hope Master Li will not make things difficult for us.”

“What did you say? His Highness the Crown Prince?” Li Yuan’s face was even more shocked. He suddenly seemed to have forgotten An Linmian, and looked at the guard with wide eyes in disbelief, “You mean this is His Highness’s instruction?!”

“Master Li, be careful!” the guard said coldly, staring sharply at Li Yuan, “We are only responsible for protecting the safety of Miss Wujiang, and we don’t know anything else!”

Hearing this, Li Yuan became even more angry, pointing at An Linmian with a hand that trembled with anger: “Since His Highness did not give orders, then she insulted the imperial officials in the street and violated my Dajin law. According to the law, she should be beaten!” After that, Li Yuan roared: “Come here, take down this shrew!”

There are naturally many patrolling soldiers in the city of the Emperor. Patrolling soldiers had arrived a while ago, but no one came forward to arrest An Linmian.
