CHAPTER XXXV

Early the next morning, the genius was bright, Yan Zhaohua was woken up by the dyed incense, sleepily looked out of the carved window, the dyed incense was hanging a tent for her, Yan Zhaohua asked: "Why is it so early?" ”

While hanging up the tent, Dye Xiang hurriedly said: "Miss, hurry up, Master Hou said to take you to the western suburbs to relax, the porter is already in the carriage, don't delay." ”

Yan Zhaohua just woke up a little dazed, and he didn't understand the meaning of dyeing incense, so he still rubbed his eyes slowly and said:

"What a thing! Father goes to the spiritual field, what kind of heart will he take me to scatter? ”

Qingzhu came in with hot water and said:

"Miss, don't ask, hurry up, dye incense to wash your face, slave maid go and get you clothes, don't care why Hou Ye took you, it's right to take you after all, but Hou Ye ordered, we maids are not allowed to follow, only you and Hou Ye, this is a great thing."

Yan Zhaohua dug out the quilt for dyed incense, and after some tossing, he finally cleaned it up, and didn't even give Yan Zhaohua time to eat breakfast, so he was dragged out of the door by them, and the magnificent carriage had two horses with a snort, although it was already the weather in March, but the spring was cold, especially in the early morning, with dew, Yan Zhaohua's shoulders were draped with a silk and gold-edged fluffy cloak, and a fallen horse bun was held on his head, and the elf's cute little face was full of tiredness that did not wake up.

The maid waited for her to climb into the carriage, Yan Xiu was already waiting in the carriage, leaning aside to read a book, seeing Yan Zhaohua get on the car, he pointed to the seat by the window, and there were hot osmanthus porridge and two plates of pickles on the seat, Yan Zhaohua looked at Yan Xiu, and met his gaze, Yan Xiu put down the book in his hand and said:

"Let's deal with it, let's go to the Taoist temple today, and eat lighter."

After saying this, Yan Xiu continued to look at the book in his hand, it was just dawn at this time, and the light in the carriage was not good, and he would be able to read the words clearly at this moment, is it necessary to read it so seriously?

Yan Zhaohua kept slandering in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face, with the movement of the carriage, she drank osmanthus porridge in small sips, you are welcome, all the bowls were eaten, and then put the empty bowl into the lunch box on the side, sat quietly by the window, and silently looked at the blurred street scene outside from the gauze curtain.

Yan Xiu raised his eyes to look at her, and suddenly said, "You really look very similar to your mother." ”

Yan Zhaohua originally supported his chin with his hand, but when he heard Yan Xiu speak, he straightened up, put down his hand, and didn't know how to react to Yan Xiu's words, but fortunately, Yan Xiu just said, and she didn't need to react to anything, turned the page of the book in her hand, and then put it down, Yan Xiu said to Yan Zhaohua again:

"Brother Qian pushed you yesterday, I have already asked him to reflect on it, don't hate him."

I didn't expect Yan Xiu to say this to her, Yan Zhaohua was stunned for a moment before saying: "What did my father say, Brother Qian is my younger brother, how can I hate him?" What's more, yesterday's incident can't be blamed entirely on Brother Qian, he is young and easy to be provoked. ”

Yan Xiu snorted coldly: "Young? When I was so old, I had already gone to the battlefield with the old marquis and killed people, but he was furious for a little thing, and it was not his problem that he went out of the way. ”

Yan Zhaohua didn't understand the meaning of Yan Xiu anymore, listening to his words, he slapped Brother Qian yesterday, or did it mean for his good? Before he could speak, he said again:

"But I'm still very pleased that you can be so generous, come out and have fun today, the scenery in the western suburbs is good, the spirit is built on the mountainside, many natural wonders, your wife said that these days, you are bored at home, specially begged me to take you out to play, you don't let down her hard work, you know?"

Only then did Yan Zhaohua understand why Yan Xiu suddenly proposed to take her out to play today, it turned out that Xie asked for it, and Xie has always been unprofitable, there must be a reason why she would do this.

Silently going through things in his mind, Yan Zhaohua had a preliminary conjecture in his heart. Now the only thing that can make the Xie family worry about it is the dowry check, but the people involved in this matter are all members of the Xie family, so it stands to reason that there will be no problems, but if any of them have different intentions...... Yan Zhaohua's eyes narrowed slightly, as if with a thick calculation.

Yan Xiu glanced at her occasionally, but actually sighed, and when his eyes turned back to the book, he said again: "It's really like her." ”

This time he didn't name anyone he looked like, but Yan Zhaohua himself could realize that he must be like Xie Wei, thinking of his previous expression, Yan Zhaohua couldn't help but be a little suspicious, could it be that Xie Wei always showed suspicious eyes in the past? Listening to Yan Xiu's tone, which seemed to be very contradictory, Yan Zhaohua couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what kind of feelings Yan Xiu had for Xie Wei? If he doesn't love Xie Wei, but Xie Lan has been married to him for ten years, and he hasn't seen him trust Xie Lan much, and he has not completely handed over the control of the Hou Mansion to her, or even a ' Mrs. 's name didn't apply for her, but after Xie Wei married him, not only was he in charge of the entire Hou Mansion, Yan Xiu could rest assured that the affairs of the Yan family would be handed over to Xie Wei to do, you know, Yan Xiu is the patriarch of the Yan family, if many things are let go, it is equivalent to putting all his family life into Xie Wei's hands, if it is only because Xie Wei is the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion, obviously this reason is not valid, the only explanation is that he really trusts Xie Wei and is assured to let her deal with anything, but he does not have this trust in Xie Lan, and the rights are slowly given to Xie Lan little by little, but the things in the family have never let Xie Lan get involved； But if it is said that he loves Xie Wei, it is even more unclear, a year after Xie Wei's death, he married Xie Lan, and then in the ten years after his marriage with Xie Lan, he took three or four concubines back to the house, and there was no delay at all in the female sex, if he remembered Xie Lan in his heart, Yan Zhaohua couldn't believe it with his toes.

It is precisely because of Yan Xiu's contradictory behavior that Yan Zhaohua really can't understand his true thoughts, so he can't speculate or cater to it, so he can only ride a donkey to find a horse like this, and take one step at a time.

If she had sat in the carriage with Yan Xiu like this in the past, she would have felt very anxious, because she didn't know what to say to please Yan Xiu, but now, Yan Zhaohua's heart is like water, whether Yan Xiu is happy or unhappy, she really doesn't plan to take it to heart, in short, she is reborn, as long as she takes back the dowry left by her mother, she doesn't let her life be messed up, and by the way, let the bad guys who bullied her in her previous life get all the retribution they deserve, this life is enough, Yan Xiugao is not happy, she really doesn't care.

Yan Xiu didn't speak, Yan Zhaohua didn't speak, the carriage went out of the city and walked on the official road, Yan Zhaohua gathered at the window, looking at the lake and mountains outside through the curtain, Lingyi Field is located in the western suburbs, ten miles away from the inner city, no wonder Yan Xiu wants to go out before dawn, the silence of this way, Yan Zhaohua feels that there is nothing wrong, but after Yan Xiu, from time to time he asks Yan Zhaohua if he is thirsty, hungry or not.

I rested halfway, and then drove the carriage for half an hour, and finally arrived at the foot of Lingyichang Mountain at the end of the hour.

Yan Zhaohua wore a hat and climbed the mountain behind Yan Xiu, followed by seven or eight guards, Yan Xiu did not let Yan Zhaohua take the maid, which meant that the mountain and the mountain all had to rely on Yan Zhaohua to walk alone, and she was tired and didn't even have anyone to help her......

But fortunately, Yan Zhaohua has paid great attention to health preservation since she woke up, and in addition, in this life, she has not been damaged by Xie's body and is terminally ill, so although it is a little difficult, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

The group climbed halfway up the mountain, and there was a little boy in front of the mountain gate to pick him up, Yan Xiu seemed to come often, the little boy knew him, and led them into the mountain gate with a whisk of dust, but instead of going to the Taoist chief's courtyard, he went to the dining room.

There don't seem to be other Taoist friends who went up the mountain to visit in the dojo today, Yan Zhaohua and Yan Xiu entered the room and knew that this was the dining room, there were already eight dishes, one soup and two bowls of rice on the table, and seven or eight guards were all outside the door, Yan Xiu pointed to the stool and said:

"Eat first, take off the hat, no one will see it."

Yan Zhaohua was silent, neither squeamish, nor disgusted, after taking off the hat, he sat down and ate, drank a little porridge in the morning, went all the way, and climbed the mountain, his stomach was already hungry, and it was hypocritical to be polite at this time.

When Yan Xiu saw her eating, he also picked up the bowl and ate with her.

After eating, Yan Xiu found a seven or eight-year-old boy to lead Yan Zhaohua to visit the dojo, and seven or eight guards accompanied him to protect him, while he himself went to the courtyard of Lingyi Chang.

Yan Zhaohua didn't expect that there would be so many scenery to see in a dojo, Yan Zhaohua held the candied fruit that the child gave her to relieve boredom in her hand, and ate one when she stopped to rest, and then went to the next scenic spot with her mouth in her mouth, neither delaying to eat, nor delaying playing, and when the sun was about to go down in the afternoon, Yan Xiu came out of the long courtyard of Lingyi, and then called Yan Zhaohua to go down the mountain.

The road down the mountain was steep, and the light was not very good, so Yan Xiu took the initiative to take Yan Zhaohua's hand and walked down with her, Yan Zhaohua asked Yan Xiu:

"Dad, it's so late, why don't we stay here for one night?" She hadn't seen a lot of the scenery yet, so it was a pity to leave like this.

Yan Xiu was silent for a while, and just when Yan Zhaohua thought that Yan Xiu didn't plan to answer her, he spoke: "There is only one day to rest, and Ming'er has to go to court." ”

Yan Zhaohua had nothing to say about this answer.

followed Yan Xiu into the carriage, the wheels of the car turned, Yan Zhaohua was still lying in front of the car window looking at the lush forest that was gradually getting away and gradually darkening, looking at the place that was getting darker and darker, and suddenly a kind of fear suddenly arose in his heart, he didn't feel it during the day, but the dark forest at night seemed to be like a dormant monster, which could jump out and bite people anytime and anywhere.

sat up straight suddenly, and hurriedly pulled down the curtains, and lit a lantern in the carriage, Yan Xiu glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yan Zhaohua shook his head and replied, "It's nothing, it's night outside......"

When Yan Xiu listened to his daughter's innocent and honest words, which were very child-like, he couldn't help but hook his lips and laugh.

The carriage swayed, Yan Zhaohua seemed a little drowsy, Yan Xiu saw her like this, so he got up from the soft couch, let Yan Zhaohua lie down to sleep, and covered her light fur and her own big coat on her, Yan Zhaohua fell asleep on the carriage, and in a daze, she seemed to hear the sound of sword fighting......

Sword ...... Fight?

Met a robber? This was the first thought that flashed through Yan Zhaohua's mind...... I woke up in an instant, and I didn't feel sleepy anymore!

How can you go out and play with you in a good way, and you can still meet robbers? Yan Zhaohua had an ominous premonition in his heart, trying to recall his previous life, whether Yan Xiu had encountered any calamities, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't remember what had happened, whether she had never paid attention to it, or did she really not encounter any danger? But anyway, they must have had something going on tonight.
