37. This goes to Chang'an
Knowing that the screaming in the trees was hot, no one paid attention, the sun had scorched all the stones on the ground, and even if there was a cool breeze blowing under the shade of the trees, there was a hint of stuffiness. The grass on the banks of the river is green, and the fish at the bottom of the water sway from time to time and come out for a breath. The sand and stones sparkle under the sun, like golden sand. In the pavilion, three big women sat upright, the servants fanned the wind with a fan on the side, and some fresh melons and fruits were arranged on the stone table, the color was green, very bright and delicious. Two large ice stones were placed next to it, which melted a little, and the water flowed into the soil and moistened the land.
The woman in red with white gold silk embroidery held her face listlessly, looking at the girl in yellow who was drinking slowly with sour plum soup, and the white pleated begonia skirt flower fairy who was holding a scroll with an indifferent expression, and sighed and complained: "Why are you two so boring, you don't go out of the door without stepping out, and you don't let me go out by myself to be happy, I sincerely want me to sit here and watch you read and write moldy?" ”
The girl in yellow put down the sour plum soup, took a handkerchief and wiped the moistness on the corner of her mouth, didn't pay attention to her, but praised the soup: "This soup is sweet and sour to quench your thirst, I don't know what is added in it, it's so delicious." ”
"If you like it, just ask the cook in the house to make it for you in the future." Looking up from the scroll, Hanado said to her with a smile.
"But the chef in the house can't make it taste like this. One more is too sweet and sour, and one less is too light," Hua Xun held his face and let out a sigh, "It's the first time I know, it turns out that everyone's craftsmanship is so good." ”
"Okay, okay, don't you two get tired of being crooked in front of me every day?" Covering his ears, Hua An's facial features were distorted, as if he had been fed a mouthful of sour plums, and his teeth were about to be soured, "If you really think that Hua Jieyu is virtuous and virtuous, and it is difficult to find a good match in the world, and you like her craftsmanship very much, wouldn't it be good for you to keep her by your side for the rest of your life, every day a sour comes and goes, bullying me alone, right?" ”
"Poof." Hua Xun couldn't help laughing, covering his mouth and joking, "My reconciliation is a love affair, if you feel any dissatisfaction, you just hold back." ”
Hua An gasped, looked at Hua Xun and looked at Hua Du, who was calm and calm, and he didn't relax for a while, and his face turned red.
"Jokes, why are you angry with her." Hua Du shook his head, although he said so, but there was obviously a smile in his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was helping Hua Xun.
"Who's going to be angry with this yellow-haired girl!" Hua An rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "You can be scared by looking at a peacock, and I should be angry with her?" ”
"By the way, what about the peacock?" Hua Xun didn't want to talk to Hua An so fast, anyway, Hua An's words would be ugly, and if he had to say something angry later, it would be difficult to clean up.
I wanted to ask where the peacock was finally placed, after all, the weather was so hot, if it was kept there and exposed to the sun, I was afraid that it would be sunburned to death.
"Eat." Who wants Hua'an to find a handful of melon seeds, and lightly explained the fate of the golden peacock.
Hua Xun thought he had misheard, and asked with wide eyes, "What did you say?" ”
"I said I roasted it and ate it." Hua An's face showed disgust, and he added, "It's so unpalatable!" ”
"......" asked for help, and was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
"It's a pity." Hua Du glanced at Hua An and sighed slightly, "If those feathers are left, they will still be useful." ”
Don't think that Hua An will eat the peacock and have the heart to leave those feathers, unless Hua An thinks that those peacock feathers are still of some value to her.
Obviously, no.
"Oh, what a pity, the meat is so unpalatable, and the feathers are so ugly, don't you think goosebumps are up? I specially instructed the cook to burn the feathers when he made them, so that you would not be disgusted to see them. With a proud face, Hua An spit out the skin of the melon seeds, squinted his eyes and smiled.
That smile looked a little coquettish, and there was ill will in the coquettishness. Hua Xun is angry and funny, Hua An will definitely not think about how many articles a peacock contains. If Hua Junhou knew that this gift was eaten by Hua An, not only would there be no hair left, but she would also dislike it, and I don't know how depressed her expression would be.
This is good, Hua An was in harmony, and it was a mess, which dispelled Mr. Zhang's explicit hints, and it could also prevent Hua Junhou from continuing to dump on Hua Yan's side.
"It's so boring in Huafu, there's nothing to do." Hua An was dissatisfied, "I want to go back to Chang'an." ”
Hua Xun noticed that Hua An said "go back to Chang'an" instead of "go to Chang'an", and couldn't help but be surprised: "My cousin's family is in Chang'an? ”
Chang'an flower family? But didn't Chu Yan say that she didn't find out where Hua'an came from? If Hua An is a member of the Chang'an Hua family, how could Chu Yan, who was already a nobleman of the imperial court, not find out where the Hua An family is? Did Chu Yan lie, or did Hua An say something else?
"My family is not in Chang'an, but in Chengdu, Xichuan."
Hua Xun is more puzzled, this Xichuan Chengdu has a cousin surnamed Hua? You can't get married with the same surname, if you really count it, Hua An shouldn't be surnamed Hua, and she hasn't heard of any uncle and aunt surnamed Hua. She didn't doubt it these days, she didn't believe that Hua An was a member of the Hua family at all, but it was not good to ask these words in front of Hua An, and now she remembered this stubble. "Xichuan Chengdu Flower Family...... The same surname is not allowed to get married, the father and the uncles have never deviated, since the cousin's surname is Hua, but there is a reason? ”
“…… Belch. Hua An humbly glanced at Hua Du, and simply said arrogantly, "What do you care about doing so much!" ”
"You don't know," but Hua Du, who has always been idle, opened his mouth to help Hua An round his words, and explained with a smile, "Wu Ya was originally your uncle's daughter, and then Wu Ya's parents died in an accident, and your second cousin had a deep relationship with your uncle, so he raised her. Wuya is grateful to your second uncle and is willing to change his surname to Hua. This matter is very secret, few people know about it, and the reason is difficult to explain. So it's not like it's a matter of secrecy. ”
When Hua An heard this, his face was sad, and he wanted to cry, sighing: "My poor parents! ”
Hua Xun was stunned, thinking of his mother, and felt a little uncomfortable. It turns out that Hua An's life experience is so complicated, but why would the second uncle raise Hua An? And when my father first saw Hanaan, it was that expression again. Mother also rarely met Hua An, as if before Hua An appeared, the Hua family had never heard of this person at all.
"Ask Tang, are you wondering, why doesn't the prince mention about the boundless life experience?" The breeze blew, the green silk moved, and Huadu's eyes shook slightly.
"I want to know more about why you know about your cousin." If Hua Junhou doesn't mention it, his mother and maternal grandfather and grandmother won't mention it, let alone the uncle who was driven out of Huacheng by the clan because of his mistakes.
"Because I sued her." Hua An stood up, walked to the railing, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, the corners of his mouth were still smiling, without losing a trace of style, "Only I know about this, I can say." ”
Looking at the back of Hua An, the white sleeve red skirt was as bright and beautiful as oozing blood. The woman who always laughed and had a poisonous tongue suddenly fell into loneliness and stood there quietly, which couldn't help but make people feel distressed.
"What is my cousin going back to Chang'an?" Hua Xun raised his head, followed Hua An, and asked.
"In another month, it will be my father's sacrifice day, my father is buried in Chang'an, I should go back to see him." She looked back and smiled, her dark and bright eyes flashed with unknown sadness in the dazzling sunlight, the breeze ruffled her hair, her lips and teeth were bright with a sad look, and the hot day could not stop the cold under her eyes.
At that moment, Hua Xun couldn't guess what Hua An was thinking.
"Uncle is buried in Chang'an?" Hua Xun was surprised, and the faint uneasiness in his heart was confirmed little by little.
"So I'm leaving in a few days." Hua An shrugged, took out a handful of melon seeds and knocked them up, and the sadness dissipated in a moment.
The more Hua Xun thought about it, the more strange she felt, but she could only suppress her thoughts, the matter of Huafu was enough to make Hua Xun troubled, she shouldn't have asked more about Hua An's life experience, at least now she is better to have more than one thing less. Hua Xun nodded, and said, "It's okay, if you go to Chang'an, Zhongci can take care of you." ”
"Chu Zhongci is getting married, can you still control me?" Hua An sighed and said disdainfully, "You take care of yourself, take care of yourself, and learn something from Xie Yu." "Leaving, she looked a little melancholy, "I'm going to come back to Huafu after the sacrifice, I said cousin, don't leave my room with ashes, you must have someone clean it every day, if I come back and see a little bit of dust, I will definitely beat you!" ”
She held her head high, her face full of pride. Her attitude made Huadu look sideways.
"Zhong Ci is going back, and you have to leave too." Hua Xun sighed, turned his head to look at Hua Du's calm face, and said abruptly, "It's really reluctant." ”
"If there is anything to be reluctant to, you have to leave sooner or later, you should understand this truth." Huadu didn't look at her, lowered her head and turned a page of the book, and she didn't read the words in it at all.
Hua Xun moved her lips, and her feelings fell again.
Hua An looked at Hua Xun, then at Hua Du, and shook his head: "Although I say so, but people, life is worrying." I have watched how many years of life and death have passed, those who are about to die are separated, if they are not greedy for the beauty of the world, who wants to leave? Why do you cry so much? ”
is still depressed and depressed without speaking.
"No one and who is eternal, not even a lover may be able to accompany you to the end, let alone ...... Passers-by. The word at the end, Hua Du sighed very lightly, and in a trance, he was blown away by the wind before he could say it.
"That's right." Hua Xun smiled reluctantly, and said, "When my cousin leaves, I'll send you out of the city?" ”
"No need!" Hua An waved his hand and said impatiently, "You have such a temperament, send it again and again, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, I'll go back as soon as I go, what is there to give!" ”
"When will my cousin come back?"
"Two months if it's fast, three months if it's slow."
Hua Xun nodded, exhaled and said, "Okay." After speaking, he got up and left without looking at Huadu.
Huadu's eyes were flat, she closed the scroll and stretched out the hand that had been hidden at the bottom of the book. The pair of slender jade hands, only the palms remained, the fingers were all illusory, transparent, the palms were clean, but there was no line. She pursed her lips and curled her fingers, not feeling any touch. She raised her head and smiled at Hua An, who was covered her mouth and shocked, and said lightly: "I have known for a long time that there is such a day." The longer I stay, the closer the time will come when my soul will be gone. ”
