"This kid is really similar to the flower girl back then. Although he attaches great importance to love and righteousness, he will not be pedantic and wooden, and he will not be clever and intelligent, but he will not pinch the tip and be strong. If she is still alive, she must be very pleased" Old General Weng looked at the figure of Hua Lianyue leaving, and couldn't help but whisper.

When he is older, it is easy to recall the past, especially after meeting Hua Lianyue Liu Yiliang's father and daughter, the bits and pieces of many years ago automatically appear in his mind.

Liu Yiliang helped him slowly take off the cold and damp underwear on his body and put on the clean clothes that Xiaoxiao found. He moved the brazier closer so he could keep warm. Listening to General Weng's high evaluation, as a father, his face couldn't help but show a hint of pride.

"It's a pity that Yue'er's health was not very good when she was a child, and I couldn't bear to detain her, but I raised her temperament. Now that he is married to King Xian, he still acts recklessly, which is really worrying. ”

Although I am proud in my heart, I still have to be humble in my mouth. But the corners of Liu Yiliang's upturned lips proved that his heart was still very happy.

"It's a pity that Hua Ji went too early, and she has suffered you all these years, and she has been a father and a mother to bring up these three children. "General Weng and Liu Yiliang are old friends, and they also knew Hua Lianyue's mother back then, so they naturally know how they are in love.

"It's not bitter!" Liu Yiliang took out the cloth bag he was carrying, and when he opened it, it was full of long and short silver needles shining with silver. He reached out and pinched one, burning it in the bright candle flame. The corners of his lips always had a gentle smile: "What's more, Hua Ji is not dead." ”

"What?" General Weng opened his cloudy eyes in disbelief.

Liu Yiliang slowly pierced the silver needle into his skinny back, but full of old and new bruises, and said slowly: "I remember that Hua Ji used to say that some people are alive as if they are dead, and some people are still alive when they die. She..... It has always lived in my heart, so it is not bitter. ”

"You are a seed of infatuation, Hua Ji really didn't see the wrong person!" Old General Weng's eyes dimmed, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "In the past few years, because of my poor health, I have always turned a blind eye to what Xie Jingde did, which indirectly fueled his arrogance. Come to think of it, I'm the kind of person who lives as if it were dead in Hanahime's mouth. ”

Liu Yiliang was silent, and inserted a silver needle into the acupuncture point behind his back again, and he actually acquiesced.

"Stinky boy. Old General Weng couldn't help but smile bitterly again.

The room was silent for a while, and it didn't take long for the back, arms, and top of General Weng's back to be filled with bright silver needles. Liu Yiliang breathed a long sigh of relief and began to methodically twist the silver needles at each acupuncture point. Old General Weng said indifferently: "Brother Liu, tell you the truth, how many days do I have left?"

Liu Yiliang's hand froze, and then he said casually: "What are you doing with these questions, don't you believe in my methods?"

Old General Weng chuckled and said, "Even if you are a divine doctor, you can't rob people in the hands of the king of Hades, I know my own body." ”

After coughing lightly, he added, "But I will cooperate with your treatment and try to live as long as possible." This time, the military case involved a lot, and King Xian could not fight alone. His originally dim eyes suddenly bloomed with an unusually bright brilliance: "After many years of death, in the last days, the old man will live vigorously." ”

......

Out of the back hall, Hua Lianyue didn't go far before she saw Zhang Yuanyang coming.

Hua Lianyue hurriedly stopped him and asked out loud: "Yuanyang, are you injured?"

Zhang Yuanyang was a little embarrassed and half-hung his head, trying to avoid the glass lantern in Xiaoxiao's hand: "I, I'm fine!"

"It's okay, don't you dare to look up?" Hua Lianyue ordered unceremoniously: "Come closer, I'll take a look." ”

Zhang Yuanyang secretly glanced at Xiaoxiao, and then raised his head obediently, so that Hua Lianyue's master and servant could see their faces clearly.

"What's wrong with the eyes?" Xiaoxiao exclaimed, and she immediately moved closer and raised the lantern in her hand. They all clearly saw that Zhang Yuanyang's right eye was swollen like a peach pit, and the bottom of his eye was even more blood-red. Under the candle flame, it was like dripping blood, and it was very oozing to look at.

Zhang Yuanyang tilted his head slightly, as if he wanted to avoid Xiaoxiao's warm snort, but a blush quietly floated at the base of his ears.

"I'm really fine!" After a pause, he said softly: "When I faced the enemy the day before yesterday, that man was very cunning, and when he saw that he was about to be captured, he secretly sprinkled my eyes with lime, but fortunately I avoided it. ”

"How can it be red and swollen if you avoid it?" Xiaoxiao pulled his sleeve and said eagerly: "You lower your head, I'll give you a good look....."

Hua Lianyue looked at the two of them with a smile, and she slowly took a few steps back. Zhang Yuanyang didn't seem to be a piece of wood, he just gave a look secretly, he immediately came back to his senses, and began to show weakness to Xiaoxiao by retreating.

Girls are the most soft-hearted, even when they see injured kittens and dogs, they can't help but feel sorry, not to mention the big living people who have been together for so long.

Hua Lianyue commanded: "Xiaoxiao, Yuanyang has never known how to take care of himself. You are careful, help him see if there are any other injuries, and then tell my father and let him treat them. I'll go around the backyard, and you'll come looking for me when you're done. ”

"Yes, madam!" Xiaoxiao hurriedly agreed, but she didn't see Zhang Yuanyang winking at Hua Lianyue proudly.

Yuanyang, as a sister, I can only help you get here, and the rest is up to you. Hua Lianyue shook her head with a smile, turned around and left alone.

There was a mess ahead, not the sound of a board. It is the cry of injustice. In addition, there are some big men coming in and out, which makes the air a little muddy. Hua Lianyue had used the tired head to get General Weng away before, but it was not good to show up in front of people at the moment, so she moved her mind to go to the quiet place in the backyard.

Although there is no lantern lighting, the moonlight tonight is very clear, and the clear moonlight faintly casts the shadow of the flower and the moon on the bluestone pavement. The night breeze rises, the dead leaves are scattered like butterflies, but the wind is faintly with the sweet chrysanthemum fragrance, which is intoxicating and intoxicating.

The sheepskin boots on the feet of the flower moon occasionally stepped on a few fallen leaves and branches, and the subtle creaking sound was particularly crisp in the silent and dark night. Hua Lianyue gathered the cloak on her shoulders, and had to sigh that although the moonlight was good, it couldn't withstand the cool breeze.

After turning a few corners, a lotus pond appeared in front of me, and there was a small stone bridge on the surface of the pond, and an exquisite pavilion was attached to the other end of the bridge. The pavilion is repaired on the water, only one side is a door, and the other three sides are hollow and carved with silver-red soft yarn.

It looks like a place for the ladies of the Yamen to play in the water, feed the fish, and enjoy the lotus.

After walking such a long way, Hua Lianyue didn't meet anyone in the house, and she felt a little cold on her body, so she simply stepped on the stone bridge. Pushing open the door and entering the pavilion, she couldn't help but sigh that it was a very good place, it was both wind-blocking and quiet, and occasionally she could hear the sound of the fish's tail swinging when the fish swam in the water.

Pushing aside the shelves by the water, by the moonlight, you can see that there is still a plate of leftover bait on the table in the pavilion, and a thick embroidered mat is placed on the round pier. Hua Lianyue had nothing to do, so she simply moved the round pier to the shelf, sat down with the tray of bait, and teased the swimming fish in the water.

It was late autumn at this time, and the fish were extra fat. In order to compete for bait, they huddled together. The multicolored scales on the body reflect a faint brilliance in the moonlight, as clear and dazzling as crystalline colored gemstones.

I don't know how long it took, Hua Lianyue fed the fish in the pond to a round belly, but she didn't see Xiaoxiao looking for herself. She gradually became a little sleepy, and couldn't help muttering secretly: "Dead girl, if you have a man, you forget your master, you really should be beaten." ”

Hua Lianyue put down the empty plate, stood up and moved her numb waist and legs, thinking about whether she should take the initiative to go out to find Xiaoxiao's stinky girl, but saw the shadow of the lights faintly pouring out of the water. She looked up, but saw a few women in fragrant clothes and sideburns not far away, carrying two lanterns, coming this way.

Look at the dress, it should be the family and maid of the county master!

Hua Lianyue hesitated for a moment, and in the dead of night, she was alone in someone's back garden. Speaking of which, it seems a bit unorthodox. After thinking about it, she sat down again, anyway, there was no light in the pavilion, and it was pitch black. The people outside can't see themselves, and they don't appear rashly, scaring people's relatives.

"Mother, I'm just afraid that this is inappropriate!" a soft and sweet voice sounded hesitantly.

The surroundings were empty, and although Hua Lianyue deliberately concealed her whereabouts, the voices of the women still made her clear and clear.

"What's wrong, if you want me to say, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Lan'er, you listen to your mother, your mother won't harm you. ”

"Mother, have you forgotten that my daughter has a marriage contract, and the Li family originally planned to come to propose marriage after the New Year....."

"Silly boy, that's just a verbal joke, and the Li family didn't hire someone to do it. Moreover, the Li family was involved in the military needs case this time, even if the family property was not confiscated by the emperor, it is estimated that they will be robbed of their official positions. The Li family is over, do you still want to marry in and accompany you to endure hardships!"

In the darkness, Hua Lianyue hooked the corners of her mouth, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she was relieved.

Come to think of it, after the daughter of the county lord's family marries a military general, she is also a very good match. Probably no one thought that the future sons and daughters would become prisoners overnight. Listening to the meaning of this county lady's words, she wants to repent of her marriage.

Although Mrs. Zhixian is a little selfish, she is thinking about her daughter and can understand. That Lan'er girl, who still retains a good heart, and does not be ruthless to her fiancé, is also commendable. However, it is obvious that Miss Lan'er's insistence has been shaken by the persuasion of Mrs. Zhixian.

Hua Liyue yawned, supported her forehead with one hand, wrapped her cloak tightly with the other, and slowly closed her eyes to nourish her spirit. But the next words of Mrs. Zhixian made Hua Lianyue just close her eyes and widen.

"Lan'er, when my mother secretly went to the lobby to inquire about the news, she took the opportunity to take a look at King Xian. He is noble and handsome, but he is not majestic, and he is many times stronger than the bastard boy of the Li family. If you can get into his eyes, you won't have to stay in this barren place in the future, and there will be endless honors and riches waiting for you in the capital. ”

"Mother......" Miss Lan'er's soft voice was filled with infinite shyness and resentment, and after a pause, she whispered again: "King Xian...... Is it really as good as you say?"

"My mother will lie to you. Mrs. Zhixian's tone was smug, and she chuckled: "When you see him, you will know if my mother is lying." ”

Hua Lianyue frowned in the dark, and a touch of helplessness flashed in her eyes: I said Miss Lan'er, your ears are too soft! A few good words will make you forget about your unlucky fiancé, and you are still confused by power and wealth.

"But mother, now that I am a son, won't I be looked down upon by King Xian if I go at this time. Listening to the tone, this Lan'er girl has been completely brainwashed, and she has not seen Liu Hui herself, so she is actually worried that she will be despised by him.

"No, no!" Mrs. Zhixian said happily: "My mother just let the kitchen stew a pot of pheasant soup, and also prepared some snacks and fruits." Later, you said that you were worried about your father's body, and specially prepared these foods with your own hands. Remember to be very gentle and considerate in front of King Xian, don't all men like this tone. ”

"Mother.....

Miss Lan'er's voice turned a thousand times, and her shy and annoyed voice called out, which made Hua Lianyue's goosebumps stand up.

"You say, since King Xian is such a wonderful man, how can his daughter's graceful posture be in his eyes? ”

Hua Lianyue rubbed her arms and nodded secretly, even if you are still a little self-aware.

I heard Mrs. Zhixian lower her voice slightly, and said: "Lan Er Hugh wants to be arrogant, not only did the mother see King Xian before, but also saw Mrs. Yue who hid in Dancui Villa as a treasure. ”

"Really, mother, that Lady Yue is a beautiful woman?" Lan'er asked with curiosity after exclaiming.

Hearing them actually mention themselves, Hua Lianyue's ears suddenly erected.

I heard the county magistrate's lady sigh twice, and said, "That lady Yue is wearing men's clothes and a cloak, so I can't see how she is." But ....." she deliberately lengthened her tone, causing Lan'er to ask again and again: "Mother, don't sell it, say it quickly, say it quickly!"

Hua Lianyue also held her breath and listened carefully.

"That lady Yue's eyes are too cold and not gentle enough, the bridge of her nose is too high and not beautiful enough, and her lips are too thin and not warm enough. Skin...... It's fair and clean, but it's not bloody and not ruddy enough. In short, she can't catch up with our Lan'er's beauty.

Think about it, her appearance can hook the soul of King Xian, Lan'er, are you still afraid that King Xian will look down on it? Concubine Zheng is afraid that it is more difficult, and it must not be a problem to be a side concubine. When the time comes, don't forget your father and mother and your brothers, who are suffering in this barren land. ”

"Mother rest assured, if Lan'er has a bright future, she will not forget her father's kindness. He will definitely beg King Xian to transfer his father to a rich land as an official, or simply stay in the capital. ”

"That's great, my mother is waiting to follow Lan'er to enjoy happiness in the future!"

The shameless mother and daughter chatted more and more cheerfully, and the endless glory and wealth seemed to beckon to them.

Hua Lianyue stumbled and almost didn't fall off the pier. She steadied herself, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes: Okay! You mother and daughter, it's just daydreaming, and you don't have to arrange people like this behind your back!

Hua Lianyue couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek, is it really as bad as what they said?
