Chapter Seventy-Eight: Accepting Lan'er
It was not very late when he left the Hanging Pot Medical Hall, but because it was dark early in winter, Hong Zhiyan still seemed a little uneasy.
Last time I met Luo Wujing on the road again, fortunately, Jun He didn't tell him about Mingjie's rescue, so as not to make him cranky again.
"Anyway, by the way, why don't I send the county lord back. Hong Yuehe spoke, although the relationship between him and Hong Zhiyan has improved somewhat, it has not yet reached the point where he wants to have dinner here.
From the Hanging Pot Medical Hall to the Hong family and the Eagle Falcon Palace, it is obviously not a good way at all, and if it is really in danger, this Hong Gongzi may not be able to help, Jun He was about to refuse, but Hong Zhiyan was already smiling and nodding.
"Then I'm bothering you. ”
The carriage was very spacious, and Jun He sat opposite Hong Yuehe, still feeling that he had nothing to say, and suddenly thought of the sealed letter he saw at Hong Zhiyan.
"When did Zhiyan return to the Hong family?" she asked in a speechless tone.
"About 10 years ago, or maybe 11 or 2 years ago. Grandpa originally wanted me to be an apprentice to Mr. Hong Ruocheng, but the second grandfather said that he already had an uncle and didn't want to accept any more apprentices. Hong Yuehe suddenly frowned when he said this, "At first, the second grandfather agreed to teach the two of us together, and said that they are both apprentices anyway, one is also accepted, and two are also accepted, and we can also be companions to each other." But on the day my grandfather accompanied me to the second grandfather's place, the second grandfather changed his mind, saying that he was getting older, and his spirit was not as good as day by day, and he was afraid that the two of them could not teach him, so he ......"
He made a helpless gesture.
In other words, what happened in the meantime that changed Mr. Hong Ruocheng's wishes? Jun He has formed countless possibilities in his mind.
Maybe it was really Hong Ruocheng who was old and suddenly had some hidden illness, and it was true that he died only a few years later. But if that's the case, shouldn't he find a companion for Hong Zhiyan, and sell Hong Ruoting a favor by the way, so that he can treat his old man well?
Is it Hong Zhiyan's problem? He doesn't want to have one more person to divide his father, and the old man must be very doting on the old man, so he agreed to him? But looking at Hong Zhiyan, he doesn't look like a selfish person when he was a child.
Mr. Hong Ruocheng said that teaching only one is just a kind of shirk, but in fact, he just doesn't want to teach Hong Yuehe. However, at that time, Hong Yuehe was only six or seven years old, and he should not do anything that was disgusted by the old man.
Combined with the fact that Hong Zhiyan never mentioned this matter at the beginning, Jun He felt that there was something else hidden.
The carriage bumped at this moment, and Jun He's heart also tossed upside down, wouldn't she be ambushed by Luo Wujing again? She hurriedly opened the curtain a little, and saw that the carriage was still on the avenue of Kyoto, so she was more relieved.
"What's going on?" asked Hong Yuehe with a frown, picking the curtain on the car door.
Seeing Hong Yuehe and Jun He leave, Hong Zhiyan set his eyes on the letter with paraffin in the study.
After rubbing the envelope back and forth in his hand for a long time, a wry smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't want any bad news to be conveyed in it, but if it was just some thoughts, it would make him feel even more bored.
Finally, Hong Zhiyan lit the candle and burned the envelope to a corner, and soon the entire letter turned charred black, and the wind blew and dispersed.
Some people and some things must be broken completely and cleanly.
When Hong Yuehe opened the curtain of the carriage, Jun He also poked his head curiously.
The little man outside the carriage immediately shouted happily: "Sister Qianrui!"
It's Lan'er, the sister of Bai Youzi who was saved before.
"Childe, I almost bumped into a child. The coachman replied to Hong Yuehe's question.
"Do you know?" Hong Yuehe looked back at Jun He.
"Where are you going, I'll come up and give you a ride. Jun He beckoned Lan'er to come up.
Lan'er climbed into the carriage and hesitated for a moment before answering honestly: "Lan'er ran away from home." ”
"The people of the Bai family are abusing you again?" Jun He frowned, and explained Lan'er's matter briefly in a low voice to Hong Yuehe.
"The housewife wants to marry Lan'er, but Lan'er is unwilling. Lan'er said aggrievedly.
It's too much for a ten-year-old child to get married, Bai Youzi is at the age of marriage, why don't you get married? Jun He was angry in his heart.
"It's not a way for you to run out like this. Jun He said, I don't know if I ask Junfeng to talk about Bai Youzi, and then let Bai Youzi persuade his mother to do it.
"Sister, let Lan'er follow you, Lan'er will do anything. Lan'er can be a little maid in the palace, just give her food. Lan'er grabbed Jun He's sleeve and pleaded.
Jun He frowned, in fact, this is not a bad way, if it is changed to himself when he first came to the capital, he will definitely think it is a good way.
Thinking about it this way, I have changed a lot from when I first came to the capital.
"You stay in the palace tonight, and I'll discuss it with your sister Bai Youzi. Jun He said.
Hong Yuehe sat on the other side without speaking with an attitude of not caring about himself, sent Jun He to the Eagle Falcon Palace, and then said goodbye and left.
――――――
Since Murong was injured, he has been recuperating in Lixiangyuan all day long, staying at home and not seeing guests, except for the Eagle Falcon King, there are no people who enter or leave at all. The three meals a day were also eaten by the prince with Murong in Lixiangyuan, so others didn't have to go to the front hall when they ate, just in their own courtyard.
Jun He liked this change very much, so he took Lan'er back to Lanxin Garden, and sent someone to invite Junfeng over.
When Jun Feng came, he was still accompanied by Bai Youzi.
Jun He frowned a little puzzled, it seemed that Bai Youzi's relationship with her younger brother was still a little closer than she imagined.
As soon as she saw her sister, Lan'er immediately showed obvious fear, and involuntarily shrank in the corner and was reluctant to come out.
Bai Youzi didn't notice her sister-in-law, but smiled with Jun He and said that she was in Wutong Garden, and when she heard that she invited Jun Feng to dinner, she came with her.
Jun Feng smiled noncommittally.
It seems that his brother's emotional injury is really serious, and he has begun to like women. Jun He thought to himself, while pulling Lan'er out of the corner, he whispered to her not to be afraid, and smiled to see what Bai Youzi's reaction was.
Sure enough, Bai Youzi was taken aback, but in front of outsiders, she had to put on a kind appearance, pulled Lan'er and asked her how she was here.
Jun He very tactfully said that he hoped Lan'er would come over to be a girl, and by the way, he satirized the Bai family's exchange of a ten-year-old girl for a high bride price.
Bai Youzi didn't like this sister very much, in fact, she didn't care where she was, but since Jun He opened his mouth, he naturally still wanted to sell face, and immediately nodded and said that he would go back and mention this matter to his mother, so that Lan'er could stay here with peace of mind and serve the county lord well.
