Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 694 Listen to the chapter

There were countless princes and nobles in the capital who admired her, but Jiang Yiyi's heart was never moved by these people. One day, it was spring, and Jiang Yiyi, accompanied by her personal maid Cui'er, went to the Peach Blossom Temple outside the city to pray. The peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Temple were splendid, like clouds and rosy clouds. The breeze blew, and the petals fluttered down, like a dream. Jiang Yiyi made a wish devoutly in front of the Buddha, and then wandered around the temple. When she came to a quiet courtyard, she heard a melodious sound of the piano. The sound of the piano was like the gurgling of water, and like a yellow warbler out of the valley, melodious and pleasant. Jiang Yiyi couldn't help but be attracted and followed the sound. In the courtyard, a young man in a plain robe was concentrating on playing the piano. The man had a handsome face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes. Although he was dressed simply, he could not hide his elegance. The man noticed someone approaching, raised his head, and his eyes met Jiang Yiyi. In an instant, time seemed to freeze, and a trace of surprise and excitement flashed in the eyes of both of them. Jiang Yiyi blushed slightly, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but was attracted by the man's temperament, and her steps seemed to be nailed. The man stood up, bowed slightly, and said: "I am Tang Yi, I disturbed the girl, I hope the girl will forgive me." Jiang Yiyi said softly: "The young man's piano music is wonderful, I was so absorbed in listening to it, it was abrupt." The two talked, and Jiang Yiyi found that Tang Yi not only had superb piano skills, but also had insights into poetry, songs, and historical allusions, and her liking for him became deeper and deeper. Tang Yi was also impressed by Jiang Yiyi's beauty and talent. The two seemed to be close friends who had known each other for many years and had a great time talking. Unknowingly, it was getting dark, and Jiang Yiyi had to say goodbye and leave. Tang Yi watched her back disappear outside the nunnery, and his heart was full of reluctance. Back home, Jiang Yiyi's mind kept echoing Tang Yi's figure, and she lost her appetite. Tang Yi also couldn't forget Jiang Yiyi, and often wandered in Taohua An, hoping to meet her again. However, fate did not favor this pair of lovers. In order to consolidate his position in the court, Master Jiang decided to marry Jiang Yiyi to Mr. Zhao, the son of the Minister of Rites. Although Mr. Zhao was born in a famous family, he was uneducated and indulged in gambling and sensual pleasures all day long, and was notorious in the capital. When Jiang Yiyi learned about this, she was struck by lightning. She cried and begged her father to take back his decision, saying, "Father, my daughter already has someone she likes. Please don't marry my daughter to Mr. Zhao." Master Jiang's face sank and said, "You are a woman, what do you know! This marriage is related to the rise and fall of the family, and you can't be willful. Tang Yi is just a poor scholar. What can he give you? If you follow him, you will only suffer." Jiang Yiyi was extremely sad. She tried to find Tang Yi and discuss countermeasures with him. But Tang Yi was just a scholar, powerless, and felt helpless in the face of Master Jiang's decision. He looked at Jiang Yiyi's painful appearance, his heart full of guilt and helplessness, and said: "Yiyi, I'm useless and can't give you happiness. If that Mr. Zhao can treat you well, maybe..." Jiang Yiyi interrupted him and cried, "No, I don't want it, I only like you, I don't want to marry anyone else." Although Jiang Yiyi resisted, the wedding date was approaching day by day. Mr. Zhao heard that Jiang Yiyi was beautiful and talented, and he was secretly proud of himself, and he spent money and wine outside more unscrupulously. He thought that after Jiang Yiyi got married, he would definitely take good care of her and make her obedient. A few days before the wedding, Jiang Yiyi took advantage of her family's inattention and sneaked out of the house again to find Tang Yi. The two hugged and cried by a small river outside the city. They knew that this might be the last time they met. Jiang Yiyi cried and said, "Yilang, what should I do? I don't want to marry someone else, I want to be with you." Tang Yi hugged her tightly and said, "Yiyi, I don't want to lose you either. But now we are powerless to change, I can only blame myself for not being able to protect you." Just when they were desperate, Cui'er suddenly remembered something and said, "Miss, I heard that Mr. Zhao lost a lot in the casino recently and owed a lot of gambling debts. Those creditors are looking for him everywhere, maybe this marriage will change because of this." After hearing this, Jiang Yiyi and Tang Yi had a glimmer of hope in their hearts. However, things did not go as they wished. In order to maintain his relationship with the Minister of Rites, Mr. Jiang secretly helped Mr. Zhao pay off his gambling debts and urged the wedding to be brought forward. When Jiang Yiyi heard the news, she felt ashamed. She knew that she could not escape the arrangement of fate after all. On the day of the wedding, the Jiang family was decorated with lights and guests were like clouds. Jiang Yiyi wore a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, but burst into tears. She was helped into the bridal sedan, and went to the Zhao Mansion with music and drums. Tang Yi could only hide in the corner, watching his beloved woman marry another man, his heart full of pain and unwillingness. In the Zhao Mansion, Master Zhao was drunk and walked into the bridal chamber with a red face. He looked at Jiang Yiyi sitting on the bed, smiled lewdly and said, "Little beauty, you are mine from today." Jiang Yiyi turned her head away with disgust, unwilling to look at him. Master Zhao didn't care, and reached out to lift Jiang Yiyi's veil. At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. It turned out that a group of people in the underworld that Master Zhao had offended before, learned that he was getting married today, and came to seek revenge. They rushed into the Zhao Mansion and hacked anyone they saw, and the Zhao Mansion was in chaos. Master Zhao was so scared that he lost all his alcohol and hid in the room trembling. Jiang Yiyi took the opportunity to escape from the bridal chamber, and in the chaos, she saw a familiar figure-Tang Yi. Tang Yi also saw her. The two looked at each other, held hands without hesitation, and ran out of the mansion. They ran all the way until they were far away from the Zhao Mansion, and then they stopped to take a breath. Jiang Yiyi looked at Tang Yi, her eyes full of gratitude and love, and said, "Yilang, thank you for saving me." Tang Yi held her hand tightly and said, "Yiyi, no matter what, I will not let you marry that bastard. Let's go together to a place where no one knows us." So Jiang Yiyi and Tang Yi embarked on the road to escape. They slept in the wind and rain and experienced hardships along the way, but they were accompanied by each other and their hearts were full of happiness. Jiang Yiyi put down the shelf of a rich lady and learned to wash clothes and cook. Tang Yi worked hard to study, hoping that one day he could pass the imperial examination and give Jiang Yiyi a stable life. Many years later, Tang Yi finally won the first place in the imperial examination and was appointed as a local official by the emperor. Jiang Yiyi accompanied him, and the two of them sang and followed each other, and lived a happy life. And Master Jiang, after experiencing a series of official changes, gradually understood his daughter's choice. When he learned about the current situation of Jiang Yiyi and Tang Yi, his heart was filled with relief and guilt, and he only hoped that his daughter could always be happy.
