Chapter 113: A Bamboo Shoot [1]
Yuan Rin glanced at Zhu Yan coldly, still sipping tea without saying a word, and his calm voice couldn't hear a trace of waves, "Does the old man know what happened after they came back?" ”
"Come back? When Childe said 'come back', I'm afraid he was referring to the chaos that year, when Shangjing was destroyed? The old woman lowered her voice slightly, after all, the previous dynasty was more than ten years ago, and it was mentioned so blatantly, if it was heard by the people of the official family, it would not be good.
Yuan Rin nodded, raised his eyes and saw Guan He standing outside the corridor with rain gear, making a look and asking him to wait for a while.
"When you think about it, we haven't seen that Fourth Master Zhu before, so many people in the village went to see him, a big official from the capital." At that time, Zhu Heng had already abandoned the official and been in business for more than three years, but this old woman still called him a big official, but it was really interesting, speaking of these past prosperity, her chatterbox was like a bottom of the bag, and she couldn't accept it, "Zhu Siye arrived first, with two girls, one big and one young, but they are all beautiful embryos at a young age, and there is a little boy who is held in his hands, and he can't walk, after a few days, the young lady of the Xu family also arrived, and there was also a little girl by his side, but he was very sick, and it took more than half a month to get better." ”
Zhu Yan gently knocked the wall of the cup with his teeth, blinking his eyes and listening attentively.
If what the old woman said is true, then the child Xu Suzhen brought with her is naturally herself, and Zhu Heng has Shu and Jing, but what about the other girl? Who is the other girl who is younger than himself and Shu?
"But I heard that Mrs. Zhu now has only one daughter by her side. How did the old man mention that when the couple came to Jiangnan back then, they brought four children? Yuan Rin put down the cup. His face was solemn, and in his deep eyes, Zhu Yan recognized a trace of happiness that his purpose was about to be accomplished, although it was fleeting, it still made her heart sink for no reason.
"Oh, there are two of them who are now Miss Shu and Jing Gongzi, and later I heard that they were just orphans brought back by Zhu Siye. There are two daughters, one older and one younger, but there is really one missing, and no one has heard of it over the years. The old woman shrugged nonchalantly. Xu was sick at a young age, or she was raised by other families, and the eldest girl was also a sick seedling, which our village knows. ”
Say it again. The old woman suddenly sighed. "Speaking of the daily price, I went to Bailang Town to catch the market, and an old woman greeted me, I took a closer look, it was the young lady of the Xu family, who used to be considered delicate, how did it become like this in the past ten years, it was really strange!"
"It's really strange...... Zhu Yan remembered that he had done everything possible to make some skincare ointment for Xu Suzhen. But it didn't work, and I couldn't help but flatten my mouth.
Yuan Rin stood up. saluted the old woman, then turned his head to look at Zhu Yan, and asked for advice in a low voice, "Ah Yan, it's not too early, let's go to Bianfu?" ”
"Oh, yes." Zhu Yan also complained to the old woman.
Guan He waited patiently outside the corridor, but smiled slightly when he saw Zhu Yan come out.
"How?" Yuan Rin took the oil-paper umbrella and looked at Guan He with a smile, "You always have a straight face on weekdays, but what's wrong today?" ”
"That white apple girl is really a little difficult, so it's easy to find her and not pay attention, so I can come to deliver rain gear." Guan He frowned and lowered his head.
"That girl is really hard sometimes." Zhu Yan nodded approvingly, obediently got under Yuan Rin's umbrella, raised his head and smiled slightly, "Will it be too late for us to go to Bianfu now?" ”
Yuan Rin tilted the umbrella to her side, and the other hand was loosely protected by her side, "Sister's illness has always been unstable at night, and it is just right to go at this time." ”
"You're right?" Zhu Yan pursed her lips and chuckled, and suddenly remembered what happened just now, "Speaking of which, what ...... the old man said just now?" ”
"You get it, don't you?" Yuan Rin just looked at her coldly and didn't answer.
Zhu Yan shook his head, "But I'm only eighteen this year...... The old man said that was more than 20 years ago......"
"What's so strange about that, I said she wasn't your mother." Yuan Rin frowned helplessly and stopped, "Ah Yan, haven't you really thought that she is not your mother?" ”
Zhu Yan looked at him in a daze, he did say this sentence to himself, that is, on the day when the two quarreled about business, Zhu Yan was very angry at that time, how could he take these things to heart, and later mentioned how Xu Silk cherished himself wholeheartedly, and asked who in this world can treat his children like this except for a mother?
"I don't believe it......," she shook her head, "even if what the old man said is true, and my mother does have an illegitimate child, then I can only say that I have a sister...... And who is the other little girl she said? ”
"This matter ......" Yuan Rin frowned, he had been secretly investigating Xu Yanzhen's identity and Zhu Yan's life experience all along, but from some clues he got now, it really could only prove that Zhu Yan might have a half-sister, "Let's talk about this matter later." ”
got into the car, and the two just chatted about Yuan Yaohua's illness, and arrived at Bienfu after a short time.
Waiting inside the door was Lilac, all the way to the courtyard behind, pulling Zhu Yan all the way and chattering, "Our Miss Yaohua has heard about it, and when the son returned to Beijing, he mentioned to the master that he wanted to marry the girl, my lord and Master Zhu knew each other, so he naturally agreed, and said that it was not good to leave the girl alone in Jiangnan to suffer, and urged the son to set the day quickly!" Now it only depends on the meaning of the girl. ”
Zhu Yan was about to smile and say a few perfunctory words to her, but suddenly thought about what vague things www.biquge.info Biquge, and then turned her mind around, but she thought clearly, so she asked her in a low voice, "I vaguely remember that when I came here, Sister Lilac told me that Yuan Gongzi originally had a marriage contract?" ”
Lilac was stunned, she knew that her son-in-law originally had a marriage contract, but after so many years, she hadn't heard anyone say which lady it was.
Seeing Zhu Yanxiu's eyebrows frowning slightly, she was only suspicious in her heart, and hurriedly softened her voice to comfort, "Don't worry, girl, since the master personally promised to marry the girl into the door, the original marriage contract will naturally be broken, the girl is Master Zhu's young lady, and the master will not let you be wronged!" ”
Talking all the way to the small building, Yuan Rin had already seen Sister Nai's situation, and was standing quietly outside the corridor.
"Childe, you stand up and be careful that the rain soaks your robe." Although Ding Xiang said this, she smiled and pushed Zhu Yan to his side, "Last time, the eldest lady saw the girl, and she liked it so much, she actually said something for so long, and even the maid didn't say so much to the young lady." ”
Zhu Yan blinked, and was about to go in alone to see Yuan Yaohua, but his sleeve was pulled by Yuan Rin and went straight to the room on the wall.
"Ah Yan, I'm going to bother you this time." Yuan Rin pulled her to sit down in front of the makeup mirror.
Zhu Yan looked at whether his sideburns had diverged from the trip just now, he was afraid that his sister would be displeased when she saw it, so she wanted to comb herself again, and just unveiled the mirror, the butterfly hairpin on her head was completely removed by him, and her long hair was straight down.
Yuan Rin stroked her hair with one hand, picked up the silver hairpin with one hand and two fingers, looked at it again and again, and suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Ah Yan, don't use this hairpin in the future." ”
"What's wrong with this hairpin?" Zhu Yan turned his head sideways, raised his eyes and looked at the butterfly hairpin, the smart silver butterfly was shining, and the tiny red jade on the tentacles trembled, it was clearly an extremely delicate work of art, why not use it?
"I heard...... There was a pair of silver butterfly hairpins in the court of the previous dynasty, which was carved by skillful craftsmen, extremely precious, and after Shangjing was broken through that year, this hairpin only had one. Yuan Rin carefully looked at the hairpin in his hand again, "Although I can't tell if this is another scattered one, it's better not to use it again." ”
Zhu Yan blinked, and rubbed the corners of his forehead with some distress, how could his luck be so good, even the hairpin that he picked out casually from the makeup and was still eye-catching had to be related to the capital and the previous dynasty?
Yuan Rin had already taken another jade hairpin in his hand, "I'll use this one in the future." ”
Zhu Yan glanced at it, and couldn't help but be attracted by the hosta, which was also ingenious.
The jade hairpin is a hosta flower, the flower is smart or not, the wonder is that this jade is mixed between blue and white, the place where the flower is made is a white and pure piece of white jade, the place where the stem is inlaid with the color of the lotus, it can be said that this branch of the hosta flower is natural.
"This is ......" Yuan Rin paused, didn't continue, reached out and picked up the green sandalwood comb on the table, "Ah Yan, I want you to change your women's bun, and my sister will be more willing to confide in you in a while......"
The smile on Zhu Yan's face froze, although Yuan Rin's thoughts were understandable, but ...... But why didn't you sue yourself until now? Did he think that if he talked about it this morning, he would not be willing to come with him? It's too cautious......
His face was cold, and then he smiled a little stiffly, "I can, but I won't comb a woman's hair......"
"It's okay, I will." Yuan Rin put the hairpin down for the time being, patted her head gently, and combed it up with the comb.
Zhu Yan looked so interesting in the mirror, she also learned the future tense for a long time to learn how to use a small hairpin to roll up such long hair, I don't want Yuan Rin not only to be familiar with the way, but also to have such a delicate bun. (To be continued......)
