Chapter 1 The mountain road is winding and the road is flat

Lan Yu'er looked at the winding mountain road, sighed lightly in her heart, and smiled at the corner of her mouth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The five- or six-year-old girl doll who was holding her hand looked at Lan Yu'er and asked softly, "Mother, are you very happy to see that person?" ”

Lan Yu'er lowered her head and asked gently, "Isn't Wan'er happy?" ”

Zheng Wan lowered his head slightly, and there was obvious worry between his eyebrows, "Then can I think about my father in the future?" ”

Lan Yu'er was suffocated in her heart, squatted down and gently hugged her daughter, and her Qingyue voice was soft for a while: "Silly girl, you will always be your father's daughter, and no one can change it." ”

When Zheng Wan heard this, the worried expression on his face suddenly dissipated, and he took Lan Yu'er's hand and continued to walk forward, asking as he walked, "Mother, what does Daddy look like?" ”

The smile on Lan Yuer's face gradually faded, four years ago, his husband Zheng Boshu died of illness, at that time Wan'er was still in infancy, and she couldn't remember her father's appearance at all, the child was older, and when she saw that other children had fathers, she didn't ask where his father went, but she often asked what kind of person her father was, but every time, Lan Yuer would take the trouble to say that this might be the only thing that could make up for her daughter. Thinking of this, Lan Yu'er laughed again, and a wave of warmth welled up in her heart, "Your father is gentle and elegant, knowledgeable, and has a mellow personality, and he is a very good person." ”

Lan Yu'er said, suddenly Zheng Wan stopped, and hurriedly asked, "Guan'er, what's wrong?" ”

Zheng Guan lowered his eyes, called out softly, "Mother", then raised his head, his eyes were red, and said, "What is that person like in the eyes of Mother?" ”

Lan Yu'er was stunned, what kind of person was that person. After Zheng Boshu left, the burden of life fell on her. She was originally a girl from a small family of jasper, her parents ran a small business, the Lan family was also a wealthy family in the town, she was born, and it was also a brocade and jade food, and then the family business gradually became cold, her parents died one after another, she married Zheng Boshu who had been married since childhood, the Zheng family is a declining scholarly family, there are a few properties, but they can also get by, but after Zheng Boshu died, the property under Zheng Boshu's name was also taken away by his eldest brother, and their mother and daughter were driven out of the house, that is, she really felt that the sky was falling into despair and helplessness. It was at this time that she met the man, who treated her meticulously, came to see her every month, and prepared some living expenses for her, although she pushed her away every time under various excuses. She didn't think to follow him, because she knew that he was a family man, and that he was not worthy of her, and even if she was a widow, she wanted to be a couple for the rest of her life; And he is a man with a head and a face, and she is not worthy of him. However, on that day three months ago, he got drunk and forcibly made her his. When she woke up, the others had already gone, and only left a word: "If you wish, you can come to Heyun Villa." She smiled sadly, you don't even want to face me, why should I bother you again.

"Mother?" Zheng Guan's timid call made her sober up, "Mother, are you angry?" ”

Lan Yu'er touched Zheng Guan's face and said, "How could my mother be angry with Guan'er?" ”

When Zheng Wan heard this, his eyes immediately burst into tears, "I will never ask questions that make my mother sad in the future." ”

Lan Yu'er shook her head and gently wiped away the tears on Zheng Guan's face, "Mother, Guan'er likes to ask questions the most." ”

Zheng Wan immediately smiled again, his eyes were very bright, he hugged Lan Yu'er, and his voice was like a mosquito: "Is it okay for my mother to answer me?" ”

Lan Yu'er smiled, as if she sighed lightly: "If it weren't for your father, I would definitely fall in love with him, but with your father, although I won't fall in love with him, I will fall in love with him." ”

This is the first time Lan Yu'er has admitted her feelings for him, for a woman like her, his care is really irresistible, in the past few years of getting along, she has gradually become interested in him, but the moral shackles in her heart have been locking her, so that she dare not face it head-on, and three months ago, after she woke up, she found that she did not hate, and she gradually understood.

She touched her slightly bulging belly, and said, "He is the one who can block the wind and rain in this world for us in addition to your father." ”

After Zheng Wan heard this, although she didn't understand what her mother meant, she vaguely felt that her mother still cared more about her father, that was enough, as long as her mother could be happy, she was also happy, and she didn't hate that person, at least he was really good to them.

Heyun Villa is famous in Fengyi City, because the first generation of owners is the famous chivalrous Yun Batian in the rivers and lakes, two hundred years ago, the name of Yun Batian alone can make thieves flee. And its hostess was the emperor's favorite princess Qihua at that time, and the in-laws of this combination of the chivalrous man and the court magnates were also famous and envious of the world at that time. At that time, the emperor built this Heyun Villa in Yue Heng Mountain outside Fengyi City in accordance with the standards of palace architecture for his daughter, and issued an edict that this Heyun Villa was protected by the imperial court for generations. However, with the death of the first generation of male and female owners and the passage of time, although the current Heyun Villa is not as famous as it was at that time, it is also a place where outsiders dare not trespass, the reason is that in addition to it and the Chinese clothes of the imperial court, although the status of Heyun Villa in the rivers and lakes is not as good as the influence of Yun Batian back then, but in recent decades, the owners of Heyun Villa will accept apprentices in the rivers and lakes, and also cultivate a lot of heroes in the rivers and lakes, which still have a certain deterrent effect in black and white.

When Lan Yuer and Zheng Wan finally stood in front of Heyun Villa, Lan Yuer realized that he was magnificent and huge, and there were more than 100 bluestone stairs in front of him to connect the gate of Heyun Villa. Although it is seen from afar, the handwriting is clear, and it must be very human.

Before the two of them could step onto the stone steps, a voice came from above, "Who is coming?" The voice was solid, and it reached the ears of the two of them steadily.

The man was about thirty years old, with good facial features, and he hurriedly came down, and the third step turned into a step, and in a moment he was in front of the two of them.

Lan Yu'er unhurriedly took out a piece of jade pendant from the burden, the jade body was translucent, and some flowing clouds and bats were carved on it, symbolizing the continuation of Baifu.

When the man saw this jade, he knew that it was not an ordinary thing. He carefully looked at the woman in front of him, her eyebrows were like mountains, her eyes were like water, and she was as warm as jade, but she was a little more beautiful than the lady of Heyun Villa. It was just when he was surprised, but he saw that the woman handed over the jade, and a gentle and pleasant voice came: "Trouble to pass through, I want to see the owner of this villa." ”

"You want to see Master?" The man asked, glanced at the woman again, caught a glimpse of her slightly bulging lower abdomen, his heart sank, his face changed suddenly, and he sighed softly again, and said, "You wait here." ”

Lan Yu'er nodded in response.

"Chen Shan, who's down there?" At this time, an old man's question came from above, and the voice was like a loud bell.

Chen Shirt turned a little, jumped up a few steps, and returned to the top in a few steps, whispering something to the old man. The old man turned his eyes to look at the women and children below, his eyes like eagles.

Lan Yu'er looked up, her eyes touched the old man, she nodded with a smile, and then shifted her gaze without a trace, the old man's gaze was too sharp for her to face directly.

The old man took the jade pendant in Chen Shan's hand, turned around and walked into the villa.

After a while, the old man came back and shouted to Lan Yu'er at the bottom of the stairs, "Girl, please come up." His words were solemn and his voice was cold.

Lan Yu'er couldn't help but tremble at first glance, and then wanted to lead Zheng Wan up the stairs, but Zheng Wan hid behind her, her eyes skimmed to the old man from time to time, and said timidly: "Mother, I'm afraid." ”

Lan Yu'er patted Zheng Guan's shoulder and said softly: "Guan'er is not afraid, there is a mother." ”

Zheng Wan nodded, and then Lan Yu'er led him up the stairs. The old man led the way, and did not enter the main entrance, but through the side door. At the moment of entering the villa, Lan Yu'er looked back and saw that the winding mountain road had become a scenery left behind, she smiled lightly, and in a blink of an eye met her daughter's bright eyes like a starry sky, and suddenly felt that although it was not easy after that, it could always rain and clear the sky.

In Heyun Villa, pavilions and pavilions, strange flowers and stones, relief paintings, look at the eyes, colorful, exhaustive luxury.

The old man kept walking seven steps away from the two of them, Lan Yu'er followed the old man, trembling slightly, she knew that Heyun Mountain Villa was a rich and noble place, but she never thought that it would be like this, the cost of a casual object here is worth the ordinary people who have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime. The more luxurious it is, the more difficult it is for her. As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and in a blink of an eye, I saw Zheng Guan bowing his head slightly, but his eyes were looking left and right, and he was sure in his heart, no matter what, she must live here. If she can get someone to treat her sincerely, there is nothing else to ask for in this life.

"Girl, it's here." The old man's cold voice came down.

Lan Yu'er was startled, and when she looked up, she saw an elegant three-story attic on the water in front of her, with some emerald green lotus leaves floating on the water, and swimming fish bubbling from time to time, very leisurely.

The old man made a gesture of please, and Lan Yu'er led Zheng Wan and stepped onto the water corridor connecting the attic. After walking a few steps, Lan Yu'er turned around and found that the old man had disappeared, and she was secretly frightened, this old man must be a strong kung fu figure, and I don't know who this Heyun Villa is. Looking back at the attic, I got closer, and saw that the plaque outside the attic door read "Moyun Pavilion".

Less than ten steps in front of Moyun Pavilion, Lan Yu'er suddenly stopped, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, she hadn't thought about what to say if she saw him, but now she was in front of her, but she suddenly remembered, and she didn't know what to do for a while. At this time, Lan Yu'er found that Zheng Guan was holding her hand tightly and looked at her with a smile, "Mother, there is Guan'er, don't be afraid." ”

The immature face and immature voice gave Lan Yu'er the most powerful support at this moment.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, and then led Zheng Wan towards Moyun Pavilion, and after a few steps, she saw a girl in light yellow clothes coming out of the door, sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and smiled at her, "Girl, please inside." ”

Entering the door, I saw three beautiful women sitting in the hall from a distance, sitting dignified and generous, luxurious and calm and introverted, the one on the left was glamorous and enchanting, a pair of Danfeng eyes were particularly attractive, revealing the light from time to time, at a glance, I knew that it was a shrewd person, and the one on the right looked the youngest, with a peaceful complexion, and seemed to be approachable.

"This is the three ladies of our Heyun Villa, the eldest lady is sitting, the left is Mrs. Ru, and the right is the third lady." As soon as she entered, the girl in light yellow explained.

Lan Yu'er smiled at the woman in light yellow to express her gratitude, but her heart sank slightly, she knew that he had a wife, but she didn't know that he already had three wives, if she knew this, would she still come? She took a deep breath, now that she was here, she could not make these thoughts anymore, but why was he not seen in this hall?

At this time, she had already walked into the hall, and Lan Yu'er bowed to each of the three ladies, "Lan Yu'er has seen all the ladies."

The eldest lady on the top groaned, and there was no excessive expression on her face, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried. She held the piece of Baifu Mianyan jade in her hand and asked, "This jade was given to you by Yunxiang?" ”

Lan Yu'er replied respectfully, "Yes, madam." ”

When Mrs. Ru heard Lan Yu'er's answer, her face immediately changed, and she glanced at Lan Yu'er's lower abdomen, full of displeasure, "Sister, this Baifu Mianyan Jade is one of the heirloom treasures of the Yun family, I can't be wrong, I estimate that this person can't be wrong." "If Mrs. deliberately drags the tail note, it is extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

The eldest lady's face did not change, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, pointed at Zheng Wan and asked, "This is Yunxiang's child?" ”

Lan Yu'er glanced at Zheng Guan, took a breath, and said, "It's the child of the first husband." ”

Mrs. Ru on the side suddenly laughed, "What's the matter with the old man in the past few years, do you want such goods, and you have to bring them to the villa?" ”

The eldest lady frowned obviously, and she didn't know if she was dissatisfied with Lan Yu'er or Mrs. Ru's words, "Zhuo'er, take Miss Lan to live in the Weiming Building of Xiyuan first, and then make a decision when the master comes back." ”

After the woman in light yellow answered, she took Lan Yu'er and Zheng Wan out of Moyun Pavilion and headed west.

Out of Moyun Pavilion, Lan Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was faintly painful, listening to Mrs. Ru's words, she faintly felt that he treated her well may not be as strong as she imagined.

At this moment, the sun has begun to set in the west, Lan Yu'er suddenly felt a chill in her heart, her eyes suddenly felt a little sour, she didn't know what her future would be. At this time, there was a warmth in the palm of her hand, Zheng Guan's soft little hand was holding her hand, Zheng Guan just looked at the woman in light yellow in front of her, and there was a hint of resoluteness in her immature voice: "Mother, you still have Guan'er, Guan'er will definitely protect her mother." ”

Lan Yu'er suddenly found that her daughter was sometimes stronger than her, and she was more sensible than ordinary children. This made her a little happy, but at the same time a little helpless and distressed, this should have been her carefree age.

"Girl, here, this is the unnamed building." Zhuo'er stopped, pointed to a small courtyard in front of her, and said.

Lan Yu'er suddenly thought that this "unnamed building" was probably not the name of this courtyard, but just the meaning of not being named. The three of them walked into the courtyard, although the unnamed building is not big, but it has the feeling of a private house, and it can be vaguely seen in front of it that there was a small garden before, and there are still withered branches and trees, but the weeds are very luxuriant. In the middle of the yard and on each side were several houses, and behind it was a clearing with weeds.

"During this time, you stay here first, and I will transfer two waiting girls to clean up after a while, and I will also have three meals a day."

"Thank you, Miss Zhuo'er." Lan Yu'er said.

Zhuo'er smiled, "Miss Lan just calls me Zhuo'er." In addition, please Miss Lan is okay and don't walk around, you just came, there are not many people who know you in this villa, and the guards in the villa are also relatively strict, if you unfortunately hurt the girl, it will not be good. With that, he turned and left.

After seeing Zhuo'er leave, Lan Yu'er pulled Zheng Wan into the room, and along the way, she vaguely knew that this unnamed building was in the westernmost part of Heyun Villa, very quiet, it can also be said to be remote, I am afraid that no one usually comes. The eldest lady had arranged her here, and her intentions had to make her think deeply. Zhuo'er's words made her wonder if not walking around meant that she was under house arrest.

But she also wants to open it, as long as she can have a place to stay and be with her children, she won't worry too much, and breaking into other people's lives is not what she should do. She stroked her lower abdomen with her hand and murmured: As long as she can be with the children, that is enough.

Zheng Wan looked at Lan Yu'er and also came up to touch her stomach, "Did the little brother kick you?" ”

"How do you know it's a little brother?" Lan Yu'er asked with a smile.

Zheng Wan blinked his eyes, "I just know." ”
