Chapter 9 Confession
Walking slowly southward, the dry fields and wastelands along the way gradually appeared in various colors, and the green mountains and green rice fields also became more flowery, and the further south, the less the impact of the drought became. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info along the way, Xie Yi changed the waterway for Han Qing's comfort, but there were no refugees from the north accompanying him.
Han Qing has changed the strategy map in her life, and she is very fresh about everything, which is just in line with her innocent and delicate appearance of a six- or seven-year-old girl. Han Qing chased Xie Yi every day to ask this and that, and asked Xie Yi to teach her to play chess and read.
Xie Yi didn't allow Han Qing to read on the boat, saying that he was afraid of hurting his eyes. only told her all kinds of classic stories of origin and etiquette every day, and even told an idiom story in simple terms, which made Han Qing sigh once again at the deep origin of the Xie family.
Finally arrived in Hangzhou, Xie Yi got off the boat with his sister in his arms, and couldn't wait to carry him all the way into the house. There were many masts on the wharf, and there was a crowd of people, and suddenly I saw a moon-like boy holding a fairy-like doll and getting off a passenger ship, and they couldn't help but stop and watch.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xie Yi had to hurriedly send Han Qing into the carriage, and coaxed in his mouth, "I will definitely take A-Qing out to play in the future." Han Qing said in her heart, I'm not a child again. However, the corners of his mouth were still upturned, and he sat down in the car contentedly.
The carriage came to the main gate of Xie's house unhurriedly, and a servant had already gone home to report to Xie Heng, and the porter looked at the direction of the carriage from time to time, and immediately came to greet the carriage, "The eldest young master is back, and the old lady asked people to ask several times, saying that he wanted to pull the car directly to the big study in the front yard." ”
Han Qing lifted the curtain slightly and saw the plaque on the door, the word "Xie Zhai" is simple and clumsy, and the atmosphere is majestic, as the car enters the main entrance, the architectural style is even more ancient trees layered and ingenious, and I don't know how many historical changes this house has experienced The rise and fall of the times, but what is left is the timeless ancient charm and elegance. Just walked for a quarter of an hour in the carriage in the outer courtyard, got out of the carriage and was carried by Xie Yi before entering the old lady Xie Heng's big study "Burrow Mountain Residence".
Xie Heng couldn't sit still for a long time, and went back and forth in the house, shaking Xie Cheng, the chief manager of the outer courtyard, who was also anxious. Hearing the sound, I saw the eldest grandson holding a little doll in a plain white filial piety dress in his arms, with black hair and snow skin, lacquered eyes and cherry lips, like a fairy child, and like a moon.
Xie Heng couldn't help but be stunned, he never thought that his granddaughter was so aura, and then looked at the peach blossom eyes, and then remembered his daughter who had no chance to live a hard life, and couldn't help but wet his eyes excitedly, "Good boy, give your grandfather a hug."
When Han Qing saw Xie Heng, he realized that the eldest cousin's appearance was with his maternal grandfather, but the eldest cousin was only a good son of Wei and Jin, and his maternal grandfather was a real celebrity. Xie Heng is now in his fifties, but he doesn't have a single white hair, long eyebrows and sideburns, slightly slender peach blossom eyes, and beautiful hair, he is really a middle-aged beautiful uncle.
Han Qing was put down by Xie Yi, so he solemnly knelt down to Xie Heng, "Grandfather is above, Aqing has kowtowed to you." Before he finished speaking, he was hugged by Xie Heng in his arms, his expression was sad and happy, "Okay, good old man's good granddaughter." ”
Xie Heng asked Han Qing softly about the food and accommodation on the road, whether he was sick or unwell, how he got along with his eldest cousin, everything had to be said in detail, Xie Yi couldn't help but be very anxious when he heard this, and finally interjected into a sentence, "Did grandfather take Aqing to see grandmother?" There is also my aunt's coffin behind, and the conversation is about to arrive, what if my grandmother knows about it first? ”
Xie Heng couldn't stop his mouth at this time, and then whispered to Han Qing, "Your grandmother doesn't know that she has found you, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist hearing bad news about your mother, don't panic when you see it for a while." Seeing Han Qing nodding obediently, he personally carried the person all the way to the backyard.
In Ruizhen Hall, Mrs. Pei Shi was sitting on the soft couch talking to her daughter-in-law, and Mama Gao, who was serving closely, and several big maids were also around. Pei was born in the Zhendong Hou Mansion of the four major marquis mansions of the current dynasty, and his younger brother is the current Zhendong Hou. Mrs. Tai is a kind person, and treats her only daughter-in-law as her own daughter, because she lost her daughter when she was young and cried and broke her eyes, and she has difficulty seeing as she gets older, so her daughter-in-law Cui Shi chatted with her whenever she was free to relieve her boredom.
As soon as I talked about the fun, there was laughter and laughter in the house, and suddenly everyone was quiet, and the mother-in-law and maids in the house saluted Xie Heng at the door, only to know that Xie Heng was coming. After taking a closer look, he vaguely saw Xie Heng holding a child, smaller than his little granddaughter, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why did you come to the inner courtyard now, whose child is this?" ”
Everyone in the room was shocked by Han Qing's appearance, and they couldn't help but hold their breath. Cui's had already known that his niece's daughter was coming today, and Tete was waiting here, but when he saw that this child was so cute, he couldn't help but like it even more. But looking at Mrs. Tai's appearance, I don't know how to explain it.
Xie Heng waved his hand, and everyone withdrew from the hall one after another, and then hugged Han Qing and sat on the soft floor, and then stuffed it into the arms of Mrs. Pei, and said, "This child is Ah Yu's daughter, our granddaughter." ”
Pei's head was stunned, and then he asked urgently, "My Ah Yu has been found?" Why didn't Ah Yu come? He hugged Han Qing and took a closer look, but found that Han Qing was wearing filial piety clothes. I'm going to faint right away.
When Han Qing saw that it was not good, she immediately shouted, "Doesn't grandmother want Aqing?" As he spoke, he began to howl. This trick was clever and snatched away, which scared Mrs. Tai, but she didn't faint, and then stabilized her mind, and hurriedly hugged Han Qing and coaxed her.
Xie Heng was scared and sweated, he was afraid that his old wife would not be able to stand it, so he didn't say it for a long time, Han Qing helped a lot when he made a mess, only to see Han Qing crying and looking at himself, knowing that she was deliberately pretending to cry, Mrs. Jalan didn't have time to think about anything else, and couldn't help but love this elf's little granddaughter more and more.
Mrs. Tai finally coaxed Han Qing, and gradually accepted the fact that her daughter could not come back. The daughter was less than three years old when she lost it, and she couldn't speak well, but she was holding Han Qing, who was six or seven years old, in her arms, as if she had gone back to the past, her daughter had grown up, and the little man was already able to be coquettish in her arms.
couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "Good boy, how could I not want you, I can't wait for you to be my Ayu, no matter how much you hurt, it's not enough, my grandmother must raise you well." As he spoke, he couldn't help but cry.
"My grandmother doesn't cry, Aqing is distressed." Han Qing hurriedly hugged Pei Shi to coax her, and was really moved by Pei Shi's true feelings, her eyes were red, and tears fell down. From here, she sincerely accepted that the Xie family was her closest relative.
Xie Heng was also sad and relieved for a while, coaxing the two of them with mixed feelings. After all, Han Qing was tired of traveling and driving, and his spirit had been in a state of excitement, so he was held in Pei's arms and coaxed lightly, and he gradually fell asleep.
Xie Heng saw Han Qing falling asleep, and felt very cute, "Madam, A-Qing is asleep in your arms, let her lie on the soft collapse and stretch her body to sleep." When Pei Shi heard this, he was a little reluctant to hand Han Qing to her husband to settle down. Xie Heng told his wife in detail how Xie Lian found the clue and finally found Aqing.
Although Mrs. Tai accepted that her daughter was not alive, she cried again when she heard her daughter's various hardships, but because she received these news little by little, and her granddaughter came to her side, she slowly digested the impact of those bad news.
Later, when he heard that the eldest grandson had taken back his daughter's coffin, he couldn't help but nod and cry, "Okay, good, although my hard-working Ayu has been scattered all his life, but after death, he can go home and be buried in the ancestral grave of the Xie family. ”
The old couple have been together for decades, supporting each other, and there is no doubt about their affection, from the fact that the two only have a son and a daughter who are close to each other, it can be seen that the two have a deep relationship, and the biggest suffering in their lives is that their daughter is lost, and now they have an explanation for finding their granddaughter.
