Chapter 541: Miss Wu Family
Seeing Wu Xinlian for the first time, He Lanyan couldn't help but scream, and was stunned all of a sudden, not only her, but even Ula and Sula, who came out with He Lanyan to welcome the guests, also widened their eyes, because today's Wu Xinlian completely changed her outfit, no longer dressed as a Yanren woman, she actually wore a complete set of Hun women's clothes.
Looking at the pigtails, Helan Yan blinked her eyes, and asked after a while, "Xinlian, how long does it take you to dress up?" β
Looking at the surprised looks of several people opposite, Wu Xinlian was very happy, "Half a day, after getting up in the morning, the girl at home helped me get it." With a smile, he took the huge food box from behind him, "This is the dim sum prepared by the family for the New Year, I took some of each, thinking that my sister must not have these things at home, so I sent them over." β
He Lanyan took it with a smile and handed it to Ula, "I didn't say I sent it earlier, the year is almost over." β
"Where is it, it will be over, and it will be until the fifteenth day of the first month!" Wu Xinlian said: "Happy New Year is happy, but it is also very troublesome, worship ancestors and worship God, visit relatives and friends, anyway, there are a bunch of things." β
"You're dressed like this, isn't your dad angry?" He Lanyan asked.
"Don't be angry!" Wu Xinlian shook her head and said, "He still praises him for being beautiful!" β
He Lanyan nodded and took Wu Xinlian's hand, "I also think that you are really beautiful in this dress." She lowered her voice and said, "My brother must have liked it very much." β
Wu Xinlian lowered her head suddenly, two blushes appeared on her face, looking at Wu Xinlian's delicate and irrepressible appearance, He Lanyan couldn't help but laugh out loud, this eldest lady of the Wu family, since He Lanxiong went to visit Wu Kai once, somehow, she fell in love with her eldest brother who was like a bear, for this, this delicate eldest lady has suffered a lot. The eldest lady who used to be out of the door began to learn to ride a horse and shoot arrows, Helan Yan knew that this was a big hardship, not to mention anything else, Miss Wu's soft and white hands in the past were now touched in her hands, but she already had a cocoon, and she had a lot of energy.
"Let's go. Come with me to ride, I have recently gotten a horse, pure black, the fur is like satin, it is pleasant to touch, and most importantly, it is docile, and it is most suitable for a novice like you who can just ride and is not very good at riding. He Lanyan smiled: "This horse is given to you." I found this for you. β
"It's hard work, sister!" Wu Xinlian said gratefully.
"Don't be so polite." He Lanyan waved her hand, "Maybe I'll call you sister-in-law in the future!" β
Wu Xinlian's face had just recovered to normal, and once again turned blood-red, looking at He Lanyan. I don't know what to say, even if I know that the woman in front of me is straightforward, but it still makes people feel embarrassed to say her thoughts like this.
"Ulla. Take the food box to the back, by the way, warn the eldest brother. Don't steal food, wait for us to ride the horse for a while, and then warm a few jugs of good wine and eat together. He Lanyan took Wu Xinlian's hand and walked towards the back.
"Got it!" Uragejiao smiled, walked back with a cigarette in the food box, of course she understood what He Lanyan meant.
"Brother Helan is at home?" Wu Xinlian raised her head and glanced behind her.
He Lanyan smiled and nodded, and said in her heart, of course you know that my eldest brother is at home, otherwise what are you doing in such a hurry? But she likes Wu Xinlian, a woman, not to mention anything else, a delicate young lady, willing to pull down her face for her eldest brother, and come to learn horseback archery with herself, this mind alone is very good.
In the back hall, He Lanxiong looked at the food box on the table for a long time, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves on the school field behind him, he couldn't help but lean to the window and quietly pushed the window open a small crack.
On the school field, Sula took a big black horse with a divine horse, handed the reins to Wu Xinlian, took the reins, Wu Xinlian turned over on the horse neatly, looking at Wu Xinlian at this time, Helanxiong's eyes couldn't help but light up, this dress, this neatness, if he didn't know the identity of the other party, he would definitely think that the other party was the daughter of a Hun family.
With a soft click, the big black horse raised its four hooves and started slowly, Helan Yan and Ula were left and right, accompanied by Wu Xinlian's side, although the big black horse was docile, but Wu Xinlian had not been learning to ride long after all, and they were afraid that an accident would happen, in this position, even if something happened to Wu Xinlian, with the skills of the two, they could easily carry out the rescue.
The horse ran faster and faster, Wu Xinlian was full of pigtails flying, it could be seen that he was very happy, his little face was flushed, and with the light and touching Gege chuckle, Helan Xiong couldn't help but be moved.
Close the window, slowly retreat to the table and sit down, open the food box, the dim sum inside is extremely exquisite, usually rarely seen, think about it, even in the previous Fufeng era, Wu Kai's family is also a huge fortune, naturally he is not tired of eating, he is not tired of eating, he gently picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake with both hands, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Gao Yuan once told him about the marriage with the Wu family, at that time he refused, naturally not only because of personal considerations, as a Hun person, Helan Xiong is not without his own ideas, all along, he has been thinking about reviving the Huns, and then building the Hun royal court, if he marries with the Wu family, it will become more and more entangled with the Central Plains people, and it will be difficult to get out.
And he also believes that Gao Yuan's marriage with the Wu family is not just a brotherhood, but also a political consideration, and when it comes to their position, marriage is no longer just a matter of two people or two families.
But for a period of time, as he and Gao Yuan traveled all over the villages around Jishi County, this idea slowly faded away, and he was shocked to find that just two years ago, the Xiongnu and the Yan people of Jishi City had converged and merged into such a Cheng dΓΉ, and the two sides had formed an inseparable whole, you have me, I have you, it is difficult to distinguish them again.
Not to mention anything else, just their own Helan Department, there are many people who marry with the locals, the two sides are not only in the blood, but also in the economy, have been integrated into one, and more Hun cavalry, now have their own families, land, property, and life is countless times better than before, every time he returns here, seeing the soldiers' eagerness to return home, Helan Xiong knows that he wants to rebuild the ideal of the Xiongnu royal court, but he is afraid that it is getting farther and farther away from him.
His own foundation was in the Eastern Army, and he left here, what is the difference between himself and the lords of the Hun tribes who are still wandering on the grassland?
He slowly looked away, and now looking back, those actions of Gao Yuan at the beginning were all with deep meaning, but at that time, he could not have expected today's ending no matter what.
"This guy!" He Lanxiong swallowed the pastry in his mouth, "No wonder everyone outside says that he is far-sighted and has no last resort, I am tied to the chariot by him and can never get down again." β
The ideal of rebuilding the royal court faded away, and the next thing was naturally to gain a firm foothold in the Eastern Mansion and sit in a higher position, and he had become a banner of the Xiongnu Department in the Eastern Mansion, as long as he was good, he could always strive for more benefits for the Huns. Then, the marriage with the Wu family is a good marriage, and this girl outside is really good, family history, knowledge of books and etiquette, compared to the women on the grassland, it is naturally more than a step ahead, and he can also strive to change for himself to cater to himself, such a Central Plains woman, I am afraid that there are very few.
He stood up, pushed open the door, and strode out.
He Lanxiong, who appeared on the school ground, not only surprised He Lanyan a little, but Wu Xinlian, who was galloping on a horse, was obviously startled, and if she was unstable, she was about to fall off the horse.
He Lanxiong, who was not far from her, rushed up with an arrow, strangled the big black horse's chewing head with one hand, and supported Wu Xinlian with the other, "Be careful!" He exclaimed.
He Lanyan on the side laughed, and made a gesture to Ula and Sula beside her, and the three of them turned over and dismounted, leading the horses and walking towards the stable, "Big brother, you came just in time, I'm thirsty, I want to drink a glass of water, you take care of Miss Wu for me, be careful, if you break Sister Wu, Wu Junshou will definitely come to the door to ask you for your guilt." β
With the laughter like silver bells, the three women disappeared on the school field like a fly, He Lanxiong smiled bitterly, can you be more obvious?
Wu Xinlian was riding on a horse, although her face was flushed, she still tried to calm herself, her eyes widened, and she looked at He Lanxiong, He Lanyan said that they Hun men don't like women's delicate and timid little daughters.
"I'll teach you!" He Lanxiong took the reins, a little afraid to look at Wu Xinlian's eyes.
Wu Xinlian looked happily at the male man riding side by side with her, and her mind was no longer on how to control the war horse under her crotch.
Cao Mansion, a large family headed by Cao Tiancheng, sent Gao Yuan and his wife out of the mansion, the two families are not far apart, naturally there is no need to ride a horse, Gao Yuan took Ye Jing'er's hand, nodded to Cao Tiancheng, and walked towards the General's Mansion not far away.
After walking a few steps, Ye Jing'er suddenly stopped, "Big brother, I'm coming out today anyway, why don't we go to another house to hang out." β
Gao Yuan looked at Ye Jing'er with some surprise, "Where do you want to go to, it's rare that you are interested, I will accompany you to have a good time, or we will go to the Wu family?" Eat a good wine at his place in the evening, this guy always has some rare treasures hidden in his house. β
Ye Jing'er smiled and shook her head, "I don't know how many times I've been to the Wu family, if I don't go, why don't we go to General Helan's mansion, I haven't been to his house once!" β
"Helan Xiong's family!" Gao Yuan was stunned, and faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart.
"That's right, the Helan brothers and sisters have made countless contributions to the Zhengdong Mansion, and we should come to visit." Ye Jing'er smiled and said. (To be continued......)
