Chapter Twenty-Six: Whispering
He knew her, but she didn't recognize him.
However, after March 3, Xie Rouhui believes that this is a normal thing.
Rao is so, it feels really good to be known by such a good-looking man.
She lowered her eyes and bowed slightly, but did not speak.
"This is your horse." Dongping County King said.
Originally?
Xie Rouhui's heart jumped, the hand in front of her clenched under the sleeve, and her eyes turned slightly to look at this man.
Her eyes were big and bright, and a little doubt flashed on her face at this time, as if she wondered who he was, and seemed to wonder what he meant by this, and there was a little caution in the confusion.
"Have you ever ridden it to Yushan?" The king of Dongping asked with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, I saw the girl in front of me take a step back suddenly, a little horror flashed in her eyes, and she turned around like a frightened rabbit and ran away.
The king of Dongping County was stunned, and those girls were also stunned before they came back to their senses and hurriedly chased after them, and a group of people disappeared in front of them in a blink of an eye.
Is there anything scary about this statement? The little guys in the courtyard were also startled and puzzled, and couldn't help but look at the king of Dongping County.
The king of Dongping looked at them.
"This is your horse?" He asked.
Today, the Xie family held a banquet, and there were many carriages and horses coming, and the horses in the stable were not necessarily the horses of the Xie family, which is why he asked, right? The little ones thought to themselves and nodded.
The horse was brought back by the old lady, and of course it belonged to theirs.
However, the man asked what this was for? Also, who is he? Why did he walk around in their house, and he also bumped into the eldest lady.
"Your Highness."
Xie Wenjun's voice came, and people also hurried over, with a little uneasiness.
"Your Highness, I was late and rude to greet you."
Your Highness!
The little guys suddenly understood that the banquet at home tonight was to invite the special envoy from the court, the king of Dongping County, and it turned out that this was the king of Dongping County, and they hurriedly bowed their heads to salute.
"What's wrong?" Xie Wenjun saw that the atmosphere was not right, and asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, I'll just take a walk." The king of Dongping County said, and looked at Xie Wenjun again, "It is said that the Xie family's mansion is the first mansion in Bashu, and the feng shui layout, pavilions and pavilions are all first-class exquisite." ”
Xie Wenjun smiled, and he was not humble and panicked.
"Then I'll take Your Highness around and see if it's worthy of the name." He laughed.
The king of Dongping County nodded with a smile, and Xie Wenjun really took the first step.
"Your Highness, please." He said.
…………………………………………………………
Who is that man?
Xie Rouhui walked out of the stable quickly, turned to a long corridor and slowed down, her expression was not half frightened, but instead thoughtful and amazed.
She reached out and grabbed the wisteria hanging down the corridor and looked back.
The man didn't follow.
Who is he?
I have never seen such a good-looking man, everyone says that their Xie family is handsome and extraordinary regardless of men and women, but the elders in the family and their peers are not as good-looking as this man.
It's not just that it's good-looking, but that kind of bearing, which makes people can't help but have their heartbeat faster at a glance, and they don't dare to look but can't take their eyes off.
Xie Rouhui couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, pulled off a branch and leaf, and walked along the corridor in her hand.
And he knows himself.
No, it's not, it's not him who he knows.
Xie Rouhui's footsteps stopped.
Of course not.
He clearly knew the horse, and the meaning of that sentence was obviously that he had seen it riding.
Of course she hadn't ridden that horse, which belonged to Xie Roujia.
The fifth uncle spent a lot of money to buy a sweaty horse, but this cost is only a small amount for the Xie family, whether the money is bought or thrown into the water, the old men in the family don't care.
But she cared, because she heard her father and mother say that the horse was given to the old lady by the fifth uncle.
What to give to the old lady, the old lady stopped riding a horse eight hundred years ago, she couldn't even get on the horse, this horse was clearly given to Xie Roujia, just like the two peacocks.
She had always known about the horse, but it was the first time she had seen it, let alone ridden it.
Xie Rouhui leaned on the railing with a heavy expression.
The girls were all standing behind, and they didn't dare to come out.
Xie Roujia!
Xie Rouhui said in her heart.
It's her again!
Why didn't she die! How can there be her at any time!
Xie Rouhui raised her hand and tore open a few wisterias, raised her feet and walked forward, took a few steps and then breathed and stopped, her eyes flashing.
But obviously, this man doesn't seem to be familiar with Xie Roujia, otherwise he wouldn't have asked what it turned out to be you, which means that he himself is not sure......
He's not sure.
So he ran away decisively, and when he was unsure and he didn't know what was going on, he must not talk much.
He wasn't sure, it was obvious that Xie Roujia must have concealed his identity at that time, so the safest expression now was to make a panic of being discovered, and then escape.
In this way, he can be sure that he did not recognize the wrong person, and he is sure of her by uncertainty, and he has the time and opportunity to inquire about what happened.
Isn't it Xie Roujia, Xie Roujia can be Xie Rouhui, then Xie Rouhui can also become Xie Roujia.
A smile appeared on Xie Rouhui's lips, her eyes were crooked, she threw down the wisteria she tore in her hand and walked quickly.
"Mother."
She shouted loudly as she stepped through the courtyard door.
Mrs. Xie in the room immediately got up and watched Xie Rouhui walk in.
"Megumi." She said, and at a glance she could see that Xie Rouhui's spirit was different from that of the morning.
Coming back from Yushan, although Xie Rouhui tried her best to show that nothing happened, as a mother, she still found out that her daughter was wrong.
Xie Rouhui was in a very bad spirit, occasionally stunned, and a little frightened when she was called, like a frightened lamb.
She's really frightened, how can she not be frightened, if she knows that they are all going to abandon her and not pick her up, if she knows that they think she is not the eldest lady, not Megumi, oh my God...
Mrs. Xie couldn't even think about this.
It's horrible, it's horrible.
But her Megumi is a smart child, even if they don't say it, she actually knows a little bit in her heart.
So she didn't want to stay in the house, but walked around the yard, not wanting to see her or talk to them.
But now she looks much better, she is in good spirits, and she has a smile in her eyes.
"Tired, aren't you?" Mrs. Xie asked cautiously, as if looking at a lost treasure, lest it be accidentally broken.
Xie Rouhui shook her head.
"Go down, all of you." She looked at the girls in the room again and said, "I'm going to say something to my mother." ”
The girls hurriedly retreated.
What to say? Mrs. Xie was a little nervous, what if she asked herself if she didn't want her anymore?
"Mother, don't you want to talk to me about the sacrifice?" Xie Rouhui grabbed Mrs. Xie's arm and said.
Mrs. Xie was stunned.
I did want to talk to her about these things in the morning, after all, she is Xie Rouhui now, and she can't know what she did two days ago, but Xie Rouhui avoided it.
Now I'm taking the initiative to listen, what's going on?
"I'm a little upset." Xie Rouhui put her arms around her mother and whispered, then raised her head again, "But I'm not unhappy with my mother and father, I'm unhappy with myself." ”
She bowed her head as she spoke.
"I think I'm really useless to let this happen, to make my mother and father frightened, and I don't live up to my name."
Mrs. Xie's tears almost flowed out, and she reached out to hold her in her arms.
"My son, don't always think only about others, you don't have to feel guilty about us, you don't have to feel guilty, it's not your fault." She choked up.
Xie Rouhui looked up with a smile.
"Mother, I've figured it out this day." She said, "I can't feel useless like this, I should live up to the good intentions of my mother and father, I have to be myself, although this sacrifice is not done by me, but I will do it in the future, I will try to be worthy of this sacrifice, so I can't escape, I have to face what has happened." ”
Mrs. Xie looked at her with a look of surprise.
"Megumi!" She shouted, hugging her tightly.
Megumi, Megumi, she knew her Megumi was the best.
Her Huihui has such a mind, she is worthy of the eldest lady, but it is just a temporary heart disease, and it will never be what Mrs. Xie said, she is not the eldest lady.
Xie Roujia can do it, Huihui will definitely be able to do it, and it will do it better, wait and see.
"Okay, come, I'll sue you for the past few days, and I'll sue you for the sacrificial happening." She said, grabbing Xie Rouhui, "Let's go to the study." ”
Xie Rouhui nodded, and was about to follow her into the study, when she thought of something and stopped.
"Oh yes, Mother." "I just had a crush on a horse in the stable, and I liked it, and I couldn't ride it for safety, but now after March 3rd, I can ride it, right?" ”
Mrs. Xie smiled.
"Do you need to tell me?" She smiled and reached out to stroke Xie Rouhui's shoulder, "Everything in this house is yours, take it if you like." ”
Xie Rouhui nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, Mother." She said.
When the night light came on, Mrs. Xie and Xie Rouhui walked out of the study and came to the banquet.
The officials of Qianzhou Road were all present, surrounding the king of Dongping County, who was sitting in the middle.
The ladies of the Xie family were all sitting in the pavilion on the side, and they could only look at the county king from a distance, except for Mrs. Xie and Xie Rouhui who could appear on the men's table, of course, Mrs. Xie could also, but she also had the freedom not to participate.
Mrs. Xie naturally chose not to participate.
The banquet was held in the garden of the Xie family, facing the stage in the center of the lake, and under the reflection of colorful lights and sparkling water, the stage was like a fairyland.
But when a one-man tall tree made of cinnabar was pushed out, even the fairyland was tarnished.
"Huihui, you dedicate this sacred tree to His Royal Highness the King of the County, and also officially give a gift to the King of the County." Xie Wenxing said with a smile.
Xie Rouhui responded and walked towards the main seat in the middle of the banquet, with four strong men carrying the sacred tree behind him.
Seeing Xie Rouhui coming, the officials present all got up one after another.
Since yesterday, the eldest lady of the Xie family will officially walk in front of the world, step by step to prepare for taking over the Dan master, as the future Dan master of the Xie family, and the great witch of the Xie family, she deserves to be treated politely by the officials.
Xie Rouhui didn't squint, although she really wanted to see if there was the man she saw today, but she also knew that she couldn't go wrong on this occasion.
Step by step, she stepped forward, stopping in front of the brightly lit main seat and bowing her head.
"Your Highness, please accept the thank you gift from our Peng Shui, our Bashu gods and people." She said loudly, "Your Majesty Xià Long Grace is mighty, and His Royal Highness Xie has worked tirelessly. ”
Seeing this little girl speak in a decent and dignified manner, a smile appeared on the mouth of the king of Dongping County.
"My Majesty accepted it, and I hope that Bashu will have a smooth life." He said.
This voice...
Xie Rouhui was stunned, subconsciously raised her head, and couldn't help opening her mouth slightly.
The lights on the whole seat were bright, but no matter how bright the lights were, they became dim in front of this man.
He! It's him!
It turns out that he is the king of Dongping County!
The king of Dongping looked at the surprised little girl and smiled shallowly.
"Miss Xie, please take a seat." He gestured with his hand.
Mrs. Xie and Miss Xie s seats were on the left and right hands of the king of Dongping County, and Mrs. Xie had already walked over, Xie Rouhui came back to her senses and hurriedly lowered her head in response.
"Let's get started."
Seeing that Mrs. Xie and Xie Rouhui were seated, and the others also sat down, the king of Dongping said with a smile.
With his words, the gongs and drums on the stage sounded in unison, the melody was melodious, and the lively singing began, and countless pretty maids floated in, dancing like colorful butterflies and holding wine and delicacies during the banquet.
Xie Rouhui was restless, holding the wine glass.
"Children can't drink."
When the voice of the king of Dongping came, Xie Rouhui trembled slightly, and she looked at the king of Dongping with a little apprehension.
"You—" she said hesitantly.
But he only said this one word, and stopped.
The king of Dongping County leaned over slightly.
"I don't have anything else to do, so I don't have to think about it." He said, looking at the girl's face.
At this time, they were farther away than they were at that time, but the faces they saw at that time were not as clear as they are now.
The girl's face under the light gradually overlapped with the blurred face in the muddy.
"I just want to say thank you to the eldest lady in person." The king of Dongping said with a smile, "That's all. ”
Thank you...
Xie Rouhui lowered her eyes slightly.
"That." She raised her head again, her gaze wandering, "You're not going to tell anyone else about this, are you?" ”
As the eldest lady of the Xie family, when the March 3rd sacrifice was coming, she went out to Yushan and went into the water, which was not allowed under any circumstances, she secretly ran out to play by herself, and the appearance of the girl after going into the water is also indescribable.
The smooth back appeared in front of the eyes of the king of Dongping County, with the youthfulness of a girl, and the graceful and delicate of a girl.
He smiled and nodded.
"Yes." He said.
A smile bloomed on Xie Rouhui's face.
"I'm not drinking." She said, looking at him with bright eyes and raising her glass, "Words count." ”
The king of Dongping County picked up the wine glass with a smile, and his slender arm reached over and touched her wine glass gently.
"Words count." He said.
