Chapter 2 The Deng family has a daughter

**, a small lotus-shaped incense burner, rosewood material, very delicate and meticulous, lit with a furnace of sandalwood, the faint aroma makes people feel comfortable. An old grandmother is playing chess with a little girl about ** years old, and the girl is holding a chess piece in her hand and meditating.

The girl's clear and beautiful eyes shone with wisdom, her lips pursed slightly, and her pink lips were like peach blossoms about to bloom. After thinking about it, she dropped the pieces on the chessboard, and then smiled at her grandmother and said, "Grandmother, we have made a draw on this game!" ”

The old grandmother smiled and said, "You tried your best to make me happy, and deliberately played a draw with me, and you still don't know it?" Hehehe, good granddaughter, what would grandmother do without you!"

The girl put away the pieces on the chessboard one by one, and made a gesture to the maid standing next to her, so that they did not have to move. "Grandmother, your chess skills are so good, it's my granddaughter who can't catch up with you, and I'm racking my brains to barely make a draw."

"Haha, you ghost elf. I'm tired too, so you can help me to rest, and serve the young lady to sleep early. The old grandmother said, struggling to her feet, and with the help of several maidservants, she turned indoors. The girl also stood up, and watched her grandmother's back disappear with her hands down, before she put away the chess pieces again.

The girl's name is Deng Sui, and her father, Deng Xun, is now the captain of Huqiang. When he was young, he was high-spirited and extremely interested in politics, which was contrary to his grandfather Deng Yu's quiet and inactive style, and was often scolded by his grandfather.

Deng Sui Tianzi is intelligent, soft and gentle, she read through history books at the age of six, and her talent is outstanding, and her family calls her "Zhusheng". Deng Xun was secretly surprised by his daughter's different words from other girls, and he was extremely doting on her. Not only let her receive a good education, but also discuss everything with Deng Sui before doing it, what is surprising is that what the little girl said is effective every time, which is always amazing.

Deng Sui put away the chess and walked out of the door, and several maidservants followed, and asked quietly, "Miss, do you want to go back to the room and go to bed?" ”

Deng Sui raised his head and looked at the starry sky in the sky, his little face like water condensation was as calm as water. My father has been away from home for two months, and it's time to return.

Seeing that she was silent, the maidservant asked again, "Miss?" ”

Deng Sui looked at her, "Xing'er, you see how beautiful this starry sky is, do you miss home?" ”

The maidservant girl named Xing'er lowered her head, a pool of tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to flow out, and her voice became quieter, "Little no, I don't want to go home." ”

Deng Sui smiled faintly, "How can I not want to, my father has been away from home for two months, and my heart is still worried, you have left home since you were a child, and it is rare to see your family, how can you say that you don't want to!" You will go to the tent tomorrow and pay a tael of silver, and I will allow you to go home and reunite with your family for half a month. ”

After Xing'er heard this, her eyes were like golden light, and she didn't know how to react for a while, so she knelt on the ground for a long time and kowtowed a few times, "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss." Miss's great kindness, I don't know how to reciprocate. ”

Deng Sui helped her up, "You don't have to be like this, I'm not a mother, I can't let you be free, but this little request, I think my mother will agree." You have been with me for five years, and doing this little thing for you is also doing my best. ”

Xing'er was already in tears at this time, and she was very happy.

Deng Sui said to a handmaiden, "You don't have to be envious, I will arrange an opportunity for you to return home and reunite for some time in the future, and those who are slaves are also children, and they all have relatives and old relatives, so I pity you, go down, and I will walk in the garden by myself." ”

The handmaidens glanced at each other, and the gratitude in their hearts was indescribable, and they all knelt on the ground and thanked each other in unison.

Deng Sui smiled lightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in his bright eyes. Walking along the path in the garden, I walked to my father's study, the scenery in the garden was faintly recognizable in the quiet night, and the spring breeze was blowing on my face, like a gentle hand caressing, soft and comfortable.

A few insect chirps and a few frog cries are exceptionally clear. The study was not far from her grandmother's residence, and she walked over and folded an apricot blossom in her hand, and her mood couldn't help but improve.

The study room is very large, the Deng family is knowledgeable, and all kinds of books are neatly arranged. Deng Sui has loved reading since he was a child, and every time he stays in the study, he stays for a day, indulges in books all day long, and enjoys himself.

At this time, there was no one in the study, and the lamps and candles were not lit, she pushed open the door, and there was a creak, and after lighting the candles on the table, the room was still very dark. Deng Sui took the candle flame to light up the other candles in the room one by one, and the brighter the room, the brighter she was, but she had a very bad feeling, he didn't seem to be the only one in this room. Behind the tall bookshelves, she heard a gasp.

"Who? Who's there? At this time, Deng Sui regretted a little that he didn't let a group of maidservants follow, could it be that there were thieves in the house?

No one answered, she carefully took the candle flame and walked behind the bookshelf, and with each step, her heart was like a drum, beating non-stop.

"Who?" She asked aloud again. Then she saw the blood on the ground, but she calmed down, and if someone was injured, then the ability to attack her would be weakened, and the danger would be reduced by a point.

A man fell prostrate on the ground by candlelight, the blood on his shoulder was very clear, and it was still bleeding. His face was extremely pale, and he was not very old, as if he was only twelve or thirteen years old. He wore a purple robe, trimmed with gold trim, and a crown on his head, and did not appear to be a commoner or a slave.

Deng Sui briefly glanced at this person's injury, the wound was very deep, it seemed to have been cut with a knife, but fortunately, only this wound should be fine. She patted the man on the face and called, "Wake up, who are you, how did you come here?" ”

But the man tilted his head to her slap and remained motionless.

Deng Sui was taken aback, after all, she was a little girl, and it was the first time she experienced this kind of thing, so she was inevitably flustered. But she still probed the end of the man's nose with her hand, and found that there was still breathing, and immediately relieved.

At this time, she heard a heavy footsteps, and she was startled, and immediately had an urge to protect this person. But it was too late, a tall figure appeared at the door, and then a hearty voice sounded, "Sui'er, are you still studying?" Hey, Sui'er, where are you? ”

"Father!" Deng Sui was overjoyed, and immediately ran out from behind the bookshelf and threw himself into the arms of the visitor.

Deng Xun smiled and hugged Deng Sui, "My good daughter, I want to die as a father." Deng Sui leaned on his father's shoulder and smelled a smell of dust.

"Father, did you rush back overnight? Is something wrong? She looked at Deng Xun with big smart eyes and asked.

Deng Xun put her on the ground, sat down in a sandalwood chair, stroked the tiredness on his face and said, "Yes, I rushed back overnight, I missed my little Sui'er." ”

Deng Sui pulled Deng Xun's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Father, daughter, she misses you!" ”

Deng Xun stroked her watery hair and said, "Sui'er, I knew that you must be studying in the study, so you came here, what were you doing behind the bookshelf just now?" Why didn't you read? ”

With this question, Deng Sui immediately showed a mysterious look, "Father, you come with me." ”

She pulled Deng Xun towards the back of the bookshelf, and when Deng Xun saw the person lying on the ground, she was not only stunned. "Sui'er, who is this person?"

"The child didn't know that as soon as I entered the study, I found him, and he seemed to be injured. But the child knew that this man must have a very different background and background, and I was sure that he was hunted down here. Deng Sui stood behind Deng Xun, but did not forget to analyze.

Deng Xun nodded, frowned, and said, "Sui'er, don't be quiet, you go and call Deacon Su who is outside the door, and then let the others retreat, and then find your master and ask him to bring his medical box." ”

Deng Sui nodded, after a while, the arrangement was clear, when Master Sun finished bandaging this person's wound, Deng Xun said to Deng Sui, "Sui'er, this person is arranged in the study, you can't let anyone know, you will personally take care of him during this period, I will order no one to enter the study, and wait for him to wake up, and then make a decision." ”

After Deng Sui agreed, he closed the door of the study, and the two rested separately. For the next few days, Deng Sui stayed in the study, reading while taking care of the injured.

Although the man's injuries were serious, under Deng Sui's care, he finally came to his senses. When he opened his eyes in the sun, he saw a girl as beautiful as a fairy sitting in front of his bed reading, a pair of small hands like jade lotus roots holding a book, a little face like a flower as calm as water, but beautiful, not only stunned, completely forgotten where he was.

Deng Sui felt a pair of eyes staring at him, so he looked at the man, and saw that his eyes were staring at him, not only overjoyed, "You're awake!" Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of heaven.

"Who are you? Is it a fairy? Am I dead and in heaven? The man struggled to sit up, but felt a pain and fell down again.

"Don't move, you're hurt, but we've got you here, and it looks like you'll be fine now." Sui'er held him down with her hand, while wiping away the sweat that had just ached with a silk handkerchief.

The young man's face turned red, and his heart swayed.

"You're my savior, thank you so much. What is your name? He asked.

"You call me Sui'er!"

"Sui'er? Sui means quiet, and you are as quiet as water, which is really a good name. The young man sighed, and looked at Deng Sui stupidly, speechless for a long time.

"Who are you and why are you hurt? I'm right, did you get hunted down and fled here? Deng Sui stood up and prepared to inform his father.

"I, I, I just met a bandit, I was injured, I fled here in a daze, and I saw a person at the corner gate of a courtyard going out, and I didn't close the door, so I pushed the door in and fled here."

I was a little hesitant at the beginning of the year, but then I said in passing, naturally. Deng Sui frowned when he heard this, and a chill was covered on Qingli's face.

"You don't tell the truth, I think there is something unspeakable, I am a little girl, it doesn't hurt to know, you seem to be too cautious."

When the young man saw Deng Sui angry, he felt extremely sorry in his heart, "Sui'er, my name is Liu Qing, do you know who I am?" ”

"Liu Qing?" Deng Sui was shocked, "Are you the abolished prince Liu Qing?" ”

"Yes, it's me!" Liu Qing smiled bitterly, with desolation and helplessness on his delicate face.

Although the rise and fall of the past is a nothingness, in the face of the abolished prince Liu Qing at this time, Deng Sui has countless emotions in his heart.
