Chapter 67
Dense clouds like cover, snow falling like dust, it is the time to decorate the mountains and rivers, chaotic and charming eyes, the person who appeared on the opposite side of the cloister is even more outstanding, as white as the snow on the mountain, as bright as the moon between the clouds.
Guo Jianyi never imagined that Xiao Tang would appear here.
It was probably because Fang was a little disturbed that he only paid attention to Ying Huaizhen, so he didn't pay attention to his surroundings, let alone know when Xiao Tang came, and how long he watched it, he was infinitely uneasy in his heart.
He has always been cautious and cautious, and he has never been rude to others, but today he was in a trance, and he actually gave a person who is the most well-versed and clear-sighted.
I don't know how much he's seen and how much he's understood.
Guo Jianyi was stunned, the hand was clenched, and was about to take it back, but Ying Huaizhen had already cheered, but he actually left him and turned around and ran towards Xiao Tang.
The brocade white cloak waved in front of him, like a gentle light cloud flashing, because of the fast running and the wind blowing, the skirt under it flew, like a floating lotus.
Guo Jianyi couldn't help but stare at Ying Huaizhen's back, only to see that she was getting farther and farther away from him, and the corridor was getting colder and colder, and the snow on both sides was dense and dense, as if two white curtains had been added to the corridor, and the world had disappeared, in front of him, there was only this lonely corridor, he was standing here, and Ying Huaizhen turned around and ran away.
I suddenly had a strange premonition in my heart, and there was a trace of pain inexplicably.
However, as far as the eye could see, seeing the person on the other side, Guo Jianyi quietly took a breath, made an impeccable smile on his face, held his hand slightly around his waist, straightened his shoulders, and walked slowly over there.
Ying Huaizhen ran to the end of the corridor, and was busy turning a corner, her skirt slanted away, she reached out and helped her on the pillar, her eyes showed slow joy, and she looked at Xiao Tang over there and turned around.
In this way, his face can be seen more clearly.
After four years of separation, this person's face is still the same, only vaguely ...... There seemed to be something more in her body, which she was a little familiar with but feared.
Ying Huaizhen's hand was held on the pillar, which was frozen in the wind and snow, and it was extremely cold, and the chill passed up from her palm.
Ying Huaizhen hurriedly let go of his hand, and moved forward again, but his pace slowed down a little at the moment.
And Xiao Tang had already walked quickly to him, Ying Huaizhen saw the mild joy in his eyes, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, so he ran two steps forward, opened his hand to hug, suddenly thought of something, hurriedly lowered his arm again, just looked at Xiao Tang, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Tang, when are you back?"
Thinking of his worries before leaving, it was difficult to control himself, and the various thoughts that he occasionally thought of in the past few years made him feel that it was precious to see each other at this moment.
Xiao Tang had already seen her every move, and couldn't help laughing: "I only came back today...... Why don't you hug Uncle Tang?"
Ying Huaizhen saw that he was aware of it, and blushed slightly, so he said: "I'm older now, I can't hug people like before." ”
Little Don looked up and smiled, but suddenly opened his arms and hugged her into his arms.
Ying Huaizhen was stunned, and couldn't help leaning on his chest, his eyes widened in shock, but leaning on Xiao Tang, there was an incomparably down-to-earth feeling in his heart.
Suddenly, inexplicably, I remembered that when she was on the streets of Qizhou, she struggled towards him from the arms of her crutches and hugged him tightly, just like a person on the drifting water finally grabbed a piece of driftwood...... No, no, now it looks like a big ship.
Ying Huaizhen thought wildly, so he couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh, moved his hands, and quietly hugged Xiao Tang's waist.
At this moment, Guo Jianyi had already arrived, and Xiao Tang let go of Ying Huaizhen.
Guo Jianyi smiled slightly, and bowed his hand: "Lord Tang is polite, I heard that you were back in the morning, and I didn't expect to meet so soon." ”
Xiao Tang also smiled and said: "Master Guo doesn't need to be polite, I have something to do, so I came to see Huai Zhen." ”
Guo Jianyi glanced at Ying Huaizhen, but still smiled slightly and said: "Since this is the case, I won't bother for now, Huaizhen, my little cousin will come to see you another day." ”
Ying Huaizhen said busily: "Little cousin, go slowly." ”
Guo Jianyi saluted Xiao Tang again before slowly turning around.
waited until he turned around, the smile on his face faded little by little, and the snow fell like rain, Guo Jianyi only felt a boundless silence in his ears, and only heard the sound of falling snow on the ground, which was even more lonely.
After getting out of this heavy courtyard like this, Guo Jianyi stood at the door, expressionless, looking up at the snow.
After standing for a long time, I was about to leave, but I saw two maids coming over with a smile on the snow, and when they saw him here, they stopped and saluted.
Guo Jianyi saw that they wanted to enter the courtyard, so he asked, "Where are you going?"
One of them said, "Let's go find Sister Jixiang in the East Courtyard and borrow something from her." ”
Guo Jianyi smiled and said: "If it's not something important, why go at this time? I just heard that my wife is going through the cabinets and giving people all the clothes that you don't need, why don't you go and have a good time?"
When the two maids heard this, they were overjoyed, and they thanked Guo Jianyi busily, and went to Mrs. Ying's side with their legs.
Guo Jianyi saw them go, looked back at the courtyard again, closed her eyes slightly, and then stepped down the steps.
At this moment, the snow on the ground is already an inch thick, and it creaks when stepping on it, Guo Jianyi walked slowly on the snow, the snow flakes scraped on his face, and immediately turned into cold water.
He raised his hand and touched his chest, as if he was distracted, and in an instant, a faint smile appeared on his face again, and when he walked again, he had quickened his pace, and his figure quickly disappeared.
After Guo Jianyi left, Ying Huaizhen hurriedly asked, "Uncle Tang only came back today, so he came to see me so soon, but what's the matter?"
It turned out that Xiao Tang never entered the city early, so he naturally went to face the saint first, and made the situation of the envoy clear, and after leaving the palace, he arranged various matters, etc., and naturally went back to the house to meet the elders, and he came out at noon in a noisy manner, but he still had to go to see his mentor Lin Shenzhou.
He came back after a long journey along the way, and he was tired and exhausted on the saddle horse, and he should have rested first, but he went on this trip in a row, and all he saw were characters who could not relax in the slightest, and even though he was young and healthy, and his energy was outstanding, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, and some could not hold on.
Xiao Tang originally wanted to come to see Ying Huaizhen again in the afternoon, but after returning to the house, he tidied up a little, looked at the things delivered by Ying Lanfeng, and suddenly thought of what Ying Huaizhen said to him in the Tang Mansion before he left, and in an instant, the little face with worry appeared in front of her, and she said with red eyes and choked up: I'll wait for you to come back.
Xiao Tang thought about it, and unconsciously smiled, and actually gave birth to a force out of thin air, so he still cheered up and came to the Ying Mansion to look for her.
When Xiao Tang saw her asking, he told him about meeting Ying Lanfeng in a remote county, but he didn't mention the matter of eliminating the evil officials and Ying Lanfeng's distress.
Ying Huaizhen listened intently, Xiao Tang looked at her focused state, and said with a smile: "Your father asked me to bring you something...... Just now, because I didn't meet you, I sent someone to your house. ”
Ying Huaizhen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and suddenly asked again: "Uncle Tang went there by the way, so he met my father?"
Xiao Tang only laughed and said, "What are you asking about this again?"
Ying Huaizhen thought about it, and when he didn't answer, he knew that there was something in it, and he was afraid that it would involve political affairs, so he had to stop asking.
Xiao Tang saw that she seemed to be thin, so he said: "Don't say it here, lest it freeze, I'll send you back, and just talk about it." ”
Ying Huaizhen also smiled, and the two went to the east courtyard, and went down the corridor, and the snow suddenly sprinkled all over their heads.
Xiao Tang looked at Ying Huaizhen, and suddenly remembered the situation when Guo Jianyi tidied up her appearance just now, and at this moment, when he saw the wind lifting her hat, he also stood on his feet and stretched out his hand to straighten her forward.
Ying Huaizhen looked up and said, "Uncle Tang, you are so careful, ......" Suddenly he didn't know what to think, so he smiled.
Xiao Tang said: "Isn't your little cousin also so careful?
Ying Huaizhen heard him talk about Guo Jianyi, so he nodded and said: "That's natural, my little cousin is very good to me......" Speaking of this, he smiled again.
Xiao Tang became more and more strange, so he asked again: "What are you laughing at? It's not like a good laugh." ”
Ying Huaizhen simply laughed out loud before saying, "Why isn't it good? It's just a very good one...... I just remembered that Uncle Tang will come back this time, and he will probably get married soon?"
It turned out that Ying Huaizhen saw that Xiao Tang was so gentle, and he couldn't help but think of Lin ** again, and thought of the two of them getting along, so he couldn't help laughing.
When Xiao Tang heard her mention this, he turned around and continued to walk forward, and replied with a smile: "It should be." ”
Ying Huaizhen recited "Amitabha", and Xiao Tang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why did you recite the Buddha first?"
Ying Huaizhen tilted his head and said: "It's nothing, I often went to your house before, talking to Sister Minli, she often talked about this matter, finally you came back, but if you go to the heart, there must be another big bustle in the house, and I am also happy." ”
Xiao Tang nodded and didn't say anything.
Ying Huaizhen thought about it, and as soon as his heart moved, he smiled again and said, "Yes, I only told Uncle Tang that in the past two years, many people have gone to ask Sister Minli for marriage...... She only said that you haven't gotten married yet, so she didn't agree, if you get married to ** sister, see what else she shirks. ”
It turned out that Ying Huai really remembered that Min Li liked Ling Jingshen, but he didn't know if Xiao Tang knew about it...... But no matter what, it's best to choose another good family for Minli as soon as possible, so that her obsession with Ling Jingshen can be cut off earlier.
There is a saying that "long pain is better than short pain", if you die earlier, wait for Ling Jingshen to really pass away...... Maybe it won't be too heartbroken?
Therefore, Ying Huaizhen talked about this matter at this moment, vaguely reminding Xiao Tang and asking Xiao Tang to pay attention to Minli.
Unexpectedly, when Xiao Tang heard this, he smiled and said: "I also heard Minli praise you, saying that you have been with her in the past few years...... You girl, you're planning to get up for her?...... But you're also much older, I'm afraid that in two years, people who are begging for relatives will also come in droves, have you thought about it for yourself?"
When Ying Huaizhen heard this, his face was slightly red, but he said, "Why did you talk about me again? I don't have to think about it, I won't get married." ”
Xiao Tang was very surprised, turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "It's childish again, but it's nonsense." ”
Ying Huaizhen shook his head, without a trace of a smile on his face, and said, "It's not nonsense, I really don't marry." ”
Seeing that she was serious, Xiao Tang couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Why is this?"
Ying Huaizhen didn't speak, just lowered his head slightly, Xiao Tang looked at each other from the side, and saw that she didn't spit out, standing in the snow, beautiful as an empty valley orchid, clean as plum blossoms with snow, elegant and elegant temperament, and a beautiful complexion, cherry lips are half-open, and the tip of her eyebrows is a little sorrowful, which is more and more lovable.
Although he is only eleven years old at this moment, he has begun to show his peerless appearance with such a face and temperament, and I am afraid that in another two or three years, the situation will get better and better, and the reputation will gradually spread again......
Xiao Tang suddenly remembered Guo Jianyi's expression and demeanor, although Ying Huaizhen didn't notice anything, but he could see it clearly on the other side.
When Guo Jianyi stared at Ying Huaizhen, it was different from this person's previous indifference and calmness, whether it was a gesture or a look in his eyes, there was a sense of tenderness.
Thinking that Ying Huaizhen is young at the moment, her love has not yet opened, but someone is already secretly tempted, if she is older, what will happen?
It's just that...... I never thought that Guo Jianyi, a person who is unsentimental and serious, would actually like this little girl? However, the two of them are nominal nephews and uncles, I am afraid that if Guo Jianyi wants to make good things come true, it will also be difficult, but I think again: With that person's scheming and will, if he really falls in love with Ying Huaizhen, he is afraid that he will not let go even if he is idle, and he will definitely think of what he wants.
Xiao Tang thought about it, shook his head and smiled.
Seeing that Ying Huaizhen didn't answer, Xiao Tang pondered, so he smiled and quipped: "Okay, if you don't marry, then Uncle Tang won't marry either." ”
Ying Huaizhen was shocked, stared at Xiao Tang for a moment, ignored him, only bowed his head angrily, and walked quickly.
Xiao Tang hurriedly said: "The ground is slippery, slower, have you forgotten the fall when you were a child?"
As he spoke, he took a few steps to catch up and reached out and grabbed her arm.
Ying Huaizhen couldn't stop, and the ground under his feet slipped, and his body tilted to the side, and he couldn't help but panic, and between the lightning and flint, Xiao Tang hurriedly opened his arms and hugged her into his arms, so as to stabilize his figure.
Ying Huaizhen was shocked, and hurriedly stood still, a little embarrassed, before he wanted to speak, but Xiao Tang saw that the snow on the ground was thick, and saw that she was still wearing a pair of thin cotton embroidered shoes, and she would inevitably be wet by the snow after standing for a long time, so he said: "Don't move." ”
Ying Huaizhen didn't know what to do, Xiao Tang had already leaned over slightly, and actually picked her up horizontally and walked forward.
Ying Huaizhen's feet were in the air, panicked, and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Tang!" didn't dare to raise his voice, and said in a low voice: "Quickly let me down!"
Xiao Tang looked at her with a smile, and deliberately teased her again: "Are you afraid that I will throw you away?" Or are you afraid that I will also fall and cause you to fall?"
Ying Huaizhen's heart jumped into the deer collision, and his face was already red, but it was not easy to exit, so he had no choice but to reach out and cover his face.
Xiao Tang looked at her appearance and wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that she would be even more ashamed, so he had to hold back his laughter and walk to the door hole with her, and then gently put her in the clean and snowless place.
