Chapter 282: Food in Hand, No Panic in Exile 25 (End)
After everyone's life returned to normal, Chu Yuan's good days were almost over.
Because everyone in the family focused their attention on Chu Yuan, or to be more precise, on Chu Yuan's marriage.
She is now 18 years old, which in ancient times was considered an older unmarried woman.
Before, she could get away with it by pretending to be pitiful in front of the two elderly people, but now that she is under the supervision of her uncle and aunt, she can no longer fool them.
My family members were all born and raised in Bingzhou, and they know exactly which families in the neighborhood have young men of marriageable age.
I made a list early in the morning and let her look at them one by one until she found one that satisfied her.
Chu Yuan was miserable. Every day when she opened her eyes, she saw the profiles of various men. The key point was that it would be fine if there were any good ones among them, but most of them were ugly.
Just looking at the portrait makes people lose all desire.
Not to mention that some families have concubines, and even illegitimate children have been born.
Chu Tingshu also knew that the people she found were not very good, but nowadays, men will be arranged to marry when they turn 16.
Those who are still unmarried now either have some physical problem or some irreparable flaw in their character.
This is the list she left out after eliminating those who were missing limbs.
Seeing that Chu Yuan had rejected all the men on the list, Chu Tingshu could only expand the scope and look in several surrounding towns.
However, she obviously didn't need to worry about Chu Yuan's marriage, as someone soon came to her.
"Sister, I've only been away for a few months, why are you already looking for a marriage plan?"
The person who came was Yun Yan. He and Yun Bei went back to the capital a few months ago to get back some things that belonged to them.
Unexpectedly, after he came back, he heard that the Chu family was searching for unmarried high-quality young men, and he suddenly panicked.
Hearing the familiar voice, Chu Yuan turned around: "Yun Yan? When did you come back?"
"We just entered the city gate this morning. Sister, don't change the subject. You haven't answered my question yet."
"The elders in my family were a little worried that I hadn't gotten married yet, so they arranged this."
Yun Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I thought you forgot our agreement, but now I'm back and I won't leave anymore."
Chu Yuan felt something was wrong when he heard this: "Agreement? Do we have any agreement?"
"No way, sister, you really forgot. Didn't we agree that I would come to your house to propose marriage when I reached the age of coming of age? Although it's still two years away, it's better to get married sooner rather than later."
Chu Yuan was furious. Did this guy ignore what he said? "When did I promise you?"
Yun Yan spread his hands and said, "Sister, you only said that you were willing to detoxify me, but you didn't say that you would not marry me?
Poor me, I thought you agreed at that time, sister. Many girls have pursued me in the past two years, but I didn’t agree.
I don't care, sister, you have delayed my marriage, so you have to be responsible for me."
This kid has learned to cheat from her now, right? Chu Yuan reached out and grabbed his ear: "What did you say?"
Yun Yan quickly waved her hands and begged for mercy: "Sister, don't be angry, you are the only one in my heart. Even if there are girls pursuing me, I haven't told them a word."
Chu Yuan picked up a branch from the ground and slapped him hard on the butt twice: "Yun Yan! Speak properly to me, don't be so slick all day long."
Yun Yan was beaten, but the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger: "As the saying goes, beating is love, scolding is love, and love is so deep that you kick me. It's okay, sister, I don't feel any pain. Why don't you kick me a few more times and try it."
Chu Yuan silently retracted his right foot that was about to kick out, for no other reason than he was afraid that this kid would say something outrageous again.
Under the double pressure of Yun Yan's persistence and her family constantly looking for blind dates for her, Chu Yuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to run away from home!
Chu Yuan chose a dark and windy night, put all the banknotes she had saved in her arms, led her horse and left home without disturbing anyone.
The next morning, the maid in the courtyard found that the young lady had left a letter and ran away. She was so scared that she quickly reported it to the old woman.
Of course, this was accompanied by the news that all the banknotes in the cash box had disappeared.
After reading the letter, everyone in the Chu family was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This little girl was getting bolder and bolder. She even dared to run away from home. However, she still knew the seriousness of the matter and knew to leave a letter behind so that her family would not worry.
Thinking that it would only take one night and the person wouldn't be able to get far, Chu Xiaoran immediately sent out all the servants in the house to look in different directions.
It’s a pity that they underestimated Chu Yuan’s horse speed. If they tried to chase him now, they would definitely not be able to catch up with him.
But just because they can't catch up doesn't mean others can't catch up.
Chu Yuan had just walked out of the city gate for a short while when he saw Yun Yan riding a horse behind him.
"How did you catch up with me?"
"Sister, this horse of mine is a Ferghana horse that I brought back from the capital. It's several times faster than the one you're riding. How do you think I caught up with you?"
Chu Yuan rolled her eyes elegantly: "The ghost is still there."
Yun Yan didn't comment: "Whatever you say, sister, I will follow you anyway. Unless you can become invisible, I will follow you wherever you go."
Wow, what kind of drama is this of a domineering president forcing love? It's quite exciting.
But as for this invisibility thing, it seems that she can really do it. Are there a few invisibility cloaks in the space? I'll have to take a closer look later.
The two of them were so entangled and lingering that they actually developed some affection for each other.
The main thing was that Yun Yan, this kid, learned those seductive tricks from somewhere, and his delicate body made Chu Yuan almost unable to resist, and the matter was settled before it was done.
In this way, the two of them had already broken the rules and some unspeakable things happened.
Chu Yuan woke up the next morning and thought, why is he still hiding? He might as well go home and get married.
So two months later, Chu Yuan took Yun Yan back home.
The elders of the Chu family originally wanted to pretend to be angry so that Chu Yuan would learn her lesson. However, when they saw her bringing back her future son-in-law, they all laughed so hard that they couldn't stop, and their efforts were ruined in a minute.
Yun Yan has no elders in his family, only has an older brother who is not in Bingzhou now, so he is his own head.
The two sides hit it off immediately, and after a brief conversation, their marriage was smoothly settled, leaving Chu Yuan no chance to regret.
Chu Yuan also agreed to this. She would have to get married sooner or later anyway. At least for now she was quite satisfied with Yun Yan. If their relationship changed in the future, they could still get divorced.
But throughout his life, Chu Yuan never found this opportunity.
Yun Yan is indeed a representative figure among the younger guys. He is quite good at clinging to others. Since getting married, he has been clinging to Chu Yuan so that there is no chance for him to change his mind.
The two of them spent their whole lives in love with each other, and gave birth to three children in succession, all boys, who were despised by Yun Yan and were abandoned to their uncle, Yun Yan's brother, at an early age.
Yunbei remained unmarried throughout his life. Chu Yuan felt that a big part of the reason was that he was trapped by his three nephews and had no chance to get along with girls.
However, Yunbei doesn't think so. He simply enjoys his single life. Anyway, his younger brother has already exceeded the task of carrying on the family line.
When Chu Yuan was 78 years old, Yun Yan passed away peacefully.
Chu Yuan struggled to complete his wife's funeral and passed away from this world.
