672 Encountering old acquaintances again
The room was silent, Hua Tian was full of anger and sadness, and she fell silent.
Old Man Du seemed to have also fallen into deep thought, recalling each other's vivid and young faces when he was a teenager, and the expression on his face softened.
The old woman Silan stood aside and didn't say a word.
Time seemed to freeze, I don't know how long it took, Old Man Du came back to his senses, he drove Si Lan out and looked at Hua Tian.
"Someone has been chasing and killing you, and she must have helped you block it many times when she saw Lan." Old man Du said.
Hua Tian's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he looked at Old Man Du with brilliance. She also thought that the old man would continue to talk to her about his youth.
"That's right, you also chased and killed me, and you also killed an innocent Miss Cheng San." Hua Tian said softly.
Only then did she remember that even if Old Man Du was a love saint, it didn't mean that he was a beautiful person. Secretly, he doesn't know how many black hands he has had, how many people he has harmed, and how much blood he has drunk.
"yes...... None of us are good people. Old Man Du smiled sadly, "I have hurt all the people I put in my heart, let alone those who are not taken to heart by me?" I'm a bad person. β
"Did you call me today to tell me these things?" Hua Tian looked up at Old Man Du.
Given the man's criminal record, she feared that it would be dangerous to stay for a long time. Old Man Du has a lot to do with Mother Lan, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about the family. It is not unforeseeable that he killed his sweetheart's female disciple for the sake of his family.
"No, I want to tell you about seeing Lan......" Old Man Du said here. "Unfortunately, I know, even if she knew that my life was short, she wouldn't have come to see me." No matter how much you say, I still can't imagine what she will look like in old age. β
Hua Tian shook his head, "I won't say too much, if she doesn't want you to know, I won't disobey her." You are a stranger to me, and she is like mother and daughter to me. β
Old man Du looked over. His eyes sharpened. "You say that you are in love with mother and daughter, can you take care of her for the rest of her life and let her enjoy her old age in peace?"
"I'm sure I can do it." Hua Tian said briefly.
It's her business, and it's Mama Blue's business. She couldn't argue with him. Give him assurance.
"Can you make me an oath?" Old Man Du asked again.
He remembered that Xiao Jianlan was only happy when he was a teenager. However, in the happy boyhood, there was still a person who was angry with her, and a Mu Rou who was not dealing with her. Afterwards. Her family was exiled, her in-laws' family died, and she was in exile.
He had been to Xiao's house and had unconsciously broken into a room. There were a lot of various dowries that Xiao Jianlan used when she was going to leave the pavilion, and Xiao Jianlan was pulled by her mother, and her cheeks were a little red.
After she left the Xiao family and lived in the rivers and lakes, those dowries became the most magnificent dream, right?
Old Man Du thought of all this, like a knife. In the end, he lost her, and he owed her a lot.
Hua Tian shook his head and faced Old Man Du's eyes, "No, this is what I have to do by myself, I can do it, I can't swear to you, and I can't swear to others." β
"If you can swear before me, I will tell you who the person who made me strike." Old Man Du lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.
Hua Tian was startled and sat up suddenly.
That person, who was found out in shock, was Concubine Li.
But what Old Man Du meant, it doesn't seem to be Concubine Li?
She looked at Old Man Du, "Isn't it Concubine Li?" You don't want to lie to me. β
"She's also being used by others, and there are people behind her." Old Man Du shook his head and said.
"I don't believe it. I don't believe you know, I don't believe you know and you're willing to tell me. Hua Tian also said in a deep voice.
She didn't believe that Old Man Du would tell her such a secret thing, because once that kind of thing was leaked, the whole family would be in great trouble. She didn't believe that Old Man Du would be so great, and she didn't believe that Old Man Du was so affectionate.
If you really have such a deep affection, why did you have to waver in the first place, why did you force Mother Lan to agree to Na Murou as a concubine?
Fifty years of waiting, or nothing to do with love, is just a loss.
"A man is about to die, but his words are good. I'm going to die, I don't have to lie to you. Old man Du said.
Hua Tian shook his head, "If you don't have anything else to say, I'll take my leave." β
"No, you sit down, you sit down." Old Man Du became excited all of a sudden.
Hua Tian's eyes were suspicious, and he looked at Old Man Du.
He kept her like this, could it be that he really prepared fist gloves to kill her?
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you again." Old Man Du looked at the look on Qinghua Tian's face and smiled bitterly.
"The person who wants to harm me will never take the initiative to say it." Hua Tian still didn't believe it.
Old Man Du sighed, "You were invited by Sanniang, if something happens in Du Mansion, General Zhenguo may destroy Du Mansion." How could I do such a foolish thing? β
Hua Tian thought about it, so he had to sit down.
When Old Man Du saw her sit down, he was relieved, but he didn't know what to say.
He wanted to keep this person, but it was just because this person had been with Xiao Jianlan for many years and knew a lot of things about Xiao Jianlan. Even if he didn't say anything, his heart softened when he thought of her being taken care of by Xiao Jianlan.
"That person is Concubine Shu, when I made a move, Concubine Shu used a favor in exchange." Old Man Du said calmly.
Hua Tian's eyes widened, it turned out to be Concubine Shu?
Could it be that Concubine Shu and Concubine Li have joined forces? If not, why did Concubine Shu target herself?
She couldn't help but think of Huo Qi, could she find out who instructed her if she found Huo Qi?
"Don't lie to me." She said suspiciously.
Old Man Du smiled bitterly, "What am I lying to you about?" If you are in danger, most likely you will come to the rescue of Lan Lan. If I harm you, I will harm Jianlan. β
Hua Tian was silent, she didn't know if Old Man Du had lied to herself, the only thing she could do was to check it out after she went back.
"When you first met Lan. How about seeing blue sex? Old Man Du asked again.
Hua Tian glanced at Old Man Du, who was looking forward to it with some expectation in his eyes, sighed, and replied, "He has a perverse temperament, like an old monster who has lived in seclusion for many years and has encountered misfortunes. β
It was obvious to the naked eye that Old Man Du seemed to have been hit hard, and the look in his eyes dimmed a lot, and even his wrinkled face was gloomy.
He closed his eyes, trembling a little.
Xiao Jianlan in his memory. Strong and stubborn. But hearty and generous, very endearing.
Why did you become perverse after years of not seeing each other?
ββ¦β¦ Did you ask her, before I met you? How is she doing? Old Man Du's voice trembled. Asked softly.
Hua Tian shook his head. I didn't ask, but I did know that she lived in seclusion deep in the mountains. There was no one close to him, only a boy waiting for him. β
If she was accompanied by someone close to her, Mother Lan would not have become so obedient. Later, she came to Washington, and after a short time together, the kindness and love of helping others in her temperament were revealed.
Old Man Du was hit again, he closed his eyes, and his voice was nasal, "It's all my ...... to blame."
Xiao Jianlan was born in an official family, with fine clothes and fine food, her parents who loved her, her lively and cheerful younger brother and her quiet and shy sister, but in the end she was alone.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and Silan shouted, "Miss Mu is here." β
Mu Jia...... Hua Tian looked at Old Man Du.
Old Man Du showed a smile, and Hua Tian couldn't see the meaning of that smile.
"I am seventy years old, and I have been waiting for Xiao Jianlan for fifty years. I'm not afraid to wait, but I'm afraid I'll never see each other again in this life. Old Man Du said slowly, his tone contained too much.
β¦β¦ Hua Tian couldn't promise him, and she didn't know if Mother Lan would be willing to go to Beijing after receiving the letter.
Mother Lan's two disciples are here, but now in her old age, she still chose to return to Shanyang Town, Qingzhou, who knows if it was to avoid the people of the Xiao family and the Mu family?
"I'm going to die, before I die, please promise me to help me bring a word to Xiao Jianlan." Old Man Du looked at Hua Tian, and without waiting for Hua Tian to agree, he said what he wanted to say,
"You tell her I love her. In the past fifty years, she has dreamed night and night, nine thousand three hundred and fifty-six times, and the phoenix crown has married me. The rest, carrying swords, stabbed me when they saw me, and each time they stabbed me in the heart. β
His voice was hoarse and slow, but he finished clearly.
Hua Tian didn't know what she was feeling in her heart, she nodded silently, trying to memorize the number in her heart, nine thousand three hundred and fifty-six.
"I beg you one more thing, I hope you will take care of Xiao Jianlan until she is a hundred years old. Don't let her go to Qingzhou alone, let her stay with you, help you take care of the children, or keep her in Washington or Lifu, no matter where you are...... With naughty children following her, she will be happier. β
Hua Tian nodded again, Mother Lan was also old, and she couldn't let her live alone anymore.
"Let's go." Seeing that Hua Tian agreed, Old Man Du waved his hand and let Hua Tian go out.
Hua Tian walked out, and saw a figure flickering in a small cubicle in the bright room.
Her heart moved, maybe the one in it was the young lady of Mufu. I just don't know, what did she come to the door at this time?
Could it be that Mu Rou called it?
Out of the bright room, he raised his head suddenly, but Hua Tian was startled.
Directly across from her stood a slender man with a majestic face.
She had seen this man, and when she was five years old, she had helped him appreciate several paintings.
When the man saw her, he was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a look of surprise, and obviously recognized her.
"I've seen the county lord of Anningβ" The man stepped forward and gave a salute.
Hua Tian was slightly blessed and nodded.
"After a long time, I never imagined that I would see the county lord again, and it would be like this now." The person who came said and introduced himself, "A certain is the history of Qingzhou Thorn, Du Wei, the word Ziran." β
Du Ziran, Qingzhou Thorn History, Hua Tian immediately remembered what Zhong Liche had mentioned to her yesterday.
Then, she also remembered that after meeting Du Wei with Mother Lan back then, Mother Du's expression was very wrong. Perhaps, back then, Mother Lan recognized Du Wei and knew that he was the Du family.
"I didn't expect Du Tingshi to be the ...... of the Du family," Hua Tian sighed.
She looked to the side and saw the two women behind Du Wei.
A graceful and luxurious, although he is old, he can still see that he was a beauty. The other is even more stunningly beautiful, it is the beauty that Hua Tian saw back then.
At the beginning, she was extremely amazed by this person in her heart, and felt that she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Now it seems that it is still very beautiful, but it is not as beautiful as Lin Ruoran and Cheng Yun and other peerless beauties.
She glanced at the two women's standings, and knew that the more beautiful one was a concubine.
It seems that after so many years, Du Wei still can't find the real thing, so he can only keep the fake by his side and take it as a concubine.
"I didn't expect that it was the lord of Anning County...... "Du Thorn Shi said something.
When Hua Tian was five years old, he was able to help him appreciate calligraphy and painting. In addition, she is also a lady who is famous for her poetry, and in an instant, Du Tingshi thought of a lot.
Du Shi was a little surprised to see that Du Tingshi actually recognized Hua Tian, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the uncle and the county lord to recognize him." β
Du Tingshi nodded, with a smile on his face.
Hua Tian also smiled, but he was a little reluctant in his heart.
I don't know how much this person will associate with according to the events of the year.
Hua Tian had a big belly, and she was not a guest, so she couldn't be allowed to stand in the garden.
Du Shi and several young daughters-in-law quickly got up and took Hua Tian to the pavilion in the garden to sit down and talk.
Hua Tian pondered in his heart how much Du Tingshi could guess about her, and he was not interested in talking. Du Jianshi was thinking about Hua Tian's affairs, and he didn't have much thought.
Seeing Hua Tian's big belly, Du Shi was afraid that she would be tired, so he didn't dare to talk to Hua Tian all the time.
The group sat in the pavilion, not talking much, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Fortunately, a hooded man came out of the house, and she walked out of the door, and walked briskly outside.
Si Lan didn't go to see her off, and a young daughter-in-law in the hall stood up and sent the person out.
Silan walked outside the pavilion and asked Du Tingshi and his wife to meet Old Man Du.
Du Tingshi took his wife away, and Hua Tian couldn't help but glance at the beautiful concubine.
The concubine's eyebrows were picturesque, and she glanced at Hua Tian, but she didn't speak. After so many years, the aura on her body is still the same as in the past, but her identity and status have changed dramatically, and she can no longer talk to Hua Tian at will.
Hua Tian retracted his gaze, pondered for a while and then planned to leave, there should be nothing to do with her in Du Mansion today.
She stood up and took her leave, and Du Shi and her two young daughters-in-law held her in for a while, and then sent her to the gate together.
Hua Tian took the carriage back to the Zhenguo Mansion, thinking about Old Man Du's words all the way.
Why can't Concubine Shu get along with her? Usually not obvious, why is it an attack and killing?
Could it be that she secretly supports a certain prince in the wake of the concubine?
Old Man Du always dreamed that Mother Lan stabbed him to death, was it because he felt guilty?
Mother Lan knew that Old Man Du was about to die in Shanyang Town, Qingzhou, would she forgive him and come to see him?
The history of Du Thorn is the history of Qingzhou, did he return to Beijing because Old Man Du was about to die? If so, why didn't he inform Mother Lan by the way? (To be continued......)
