Chapter 4 Homecoming
Xun State.
"Thank you, Childe."
Arrived at the Jiaoyi Pavilion, Sui Jing settled down Zhilan Haosheng and personally invited Lang Zhong, who took care of it quite properly.
"Miss Zhilan must take good care of her body, if something unexpected happens, you can go to the mansion to find it."
Looking at the extraordinary son in front of him, Mother Xu's gaze on the side never stopped, but seeing the corners of her lips raised, she smiled with joy, and knew that Sui Jingding was not an ordinary person, and her full bearing could not be stopped, although he was dressed plainly, but the nobility in his bones could not be hidden.
Now that Xun Guo is being abused by Yin Guo and the economy is withering, Xu's mother is worried that there is nowhere to make a lot of money! Although Zhi Lan is the top brand here, the famous concubine of Xun Kingdom, should be very precious, but in such a difficult situation for the whole country, it is not impossible to get some oil and water from her.
At this time, the woman on the couch who didn't know her mind was still polite and polite, and frequently thanked Sui Jing.
"Sui Gongzi's kindness has made Zhi Lan unable to repay it, how dare Zhi Lan bother Sui Gongzi again."
"Miss Zhilan is serious, in troubled times, shouldn't we help each other."
The next moment, Mother Xu suddenly interrupted the two of them and interjected herself.
"Yes! Oh, yes! This son is very right, our Zhilan is a hard-working girl! With no relatives and nothing to rely on, he begs for a life with a shamisen all day long, and he should have been carefully cared for by a good man. Although she is the signature of our Jiaoyi Pavilion, please rest assured that our Zhilan's body is clean! There is no one in the whole hall who can compare to her chastity! ”
When Zhi Lan heard this, her face suddenly turned red, and she immediately blended with shame.
"Mother, what are you talking about!"
Sui Jing was stunned in place, facing Xu's mother's sudden enthusiasm, he was a little overwhelmed for a while, his eyes showed a sense of panic, and his speech was even more slurred.
"Mom, you misunderstood, in the next ......"
"Mom! You're good to go! ”
Zhi Lan glared angrily, but Mother Xu completely ignored her barrier, still facing Sui Jing with burning eyes, and grabbed his wrist with both hands, really unwilling to let go of a big financier.
"If Gongzi also thinks that our Zhilan is a miserable person, marry her and help her redeem herself! Mom, I will give you a good price, you must know that Zhilan is the famous concubine of our Xun country, and there were even many foreigners who came here in the past, just to see our Zhilan's style! Childe, if you don't grasp the opportunity well, our Zhilan will become another wife in the future, and it will be too late for you to regret it! ”
Mother Xu said in a hurry, but she didn't know that the woman on the couch was already ashamed and at a loss, and she couldn't wait to find a hole to drill down.
After finishing speaking, Sui Yu in Mang Shan's arms suddenly jumped down, and immediately pushed away Xu's mother's hands and grabbed Sui Jing, as if she wanted to take him away from here, and the girl's eyebrows were obviously mixed with some resentment.
"Yu'er, you ......"
Sui Yu's strength is quite strong, and she refuses to stay here with Sui Jing, so she can only hurriedly show her parting intentions with the people inside.
"I'm really sorry, Miss Zhilan, Mom, I left first, and I'll come to visit Miss Zhilan in a while. Mangshan, you can go together, don't disturb Miss Zhilan's rest. ”
At the mention of Zhilan, Sui Jing only felt that Sui Yu's strength was greater, and he had to let her temperament pull away, and when he left, he threw a guilty smile at the woman on the couch.
"That being the case, then Miss Zhilan will have a good rest, and the Sprinkle family will also leave."
"Okay, be careful along the way."
Mangshan then left, and Xu's mother became anxious.
"Hey! Ay! Why are you all gone? Childe, please stay! The price is negotiable, but there is no such store in this village! Our Zhilan is treasured by a lot of officials! ”
She kept shouting behind her, but she was about to follow her out, but she was suddenly stopped by Zhilan.
"Mom! Hold it! Don't you see? Sui Gongzi's sister obviously doesn't want me to enter the house, so you might as well die as soon as possible! ”
"What is his sister, she doesn't have to marry when she grows up, how can she guard her brother for the rest of her life? Besides, mom is not for your good, this son's demeanor is full of luxury, and at a glance, he has a rich family! What's more, his face is like a crown of jade, and he is not an old man! Are you not satisfied with marrying such a good man? ”
"I only marry my beloved, this son and I have known each other for a while, so what does it matter if his family is thick or not?"
Zhi Lan endured the pain that hit her back from time to time, and her face was cold.
"Stupid thing! Living with a shabby child will make you feel good in the future! By the way, since you said that he knew you, then do you know where this noble son came from? ”
As soon as Xu's mother's question came out, somehow, Zhi Lan's eyes suddenly sank, and her mouth opened and closed, but she never spit out a word.
"Oops! You want to kill mom and me! Swallow and spit out! Say it! ”
After a long time, after Zhilan thought about it, she finally said the two words with a little difficulty.
"General's house."
"Will ...... Shofu? ”
As soon as the two words came out, Mother Xu on the side was immediately dumbfounded, her enthusiasm subsided, and her expression became strange in an instant.
Shofu.
Sui Jing returned to the mansion with Sui Yu, and looked around, but saw the same darkness and loneliness as before.
The mansion was empty, inexplicably depressed and flowing in the air, and occasionally you could smell some hidden blood, which was mixed with dust and sludge, so that only those who had a heart could catch it.
Standing in front of this embarrassment, the already gloomy eyes of the brother and sister seemed to dim even more. They remained silent for a long time, until Sui Jing, who was the elder brother, was the first to tear apart the painful silence.
"Yu'er, you've traveled all the way, are you hungry? Come, tell my brother, what do you want to eat? My brother will do it for you personally. ”
Sui Jing squatted down, enduring the suffering, and his eyes were full of tenderness towards Sui Yu alone.
Suiyu also left a gentle expression to her brother, she hugged the neck of the person in front of her, and immediately whispered in her ear.
"Brother, don't you leave Yu'er alone, Yu'er only has your brother, Yu'er hopes that her brother will only have Yu'er alone, so that her brother will not be injured by the bleeding of others, and Yu'er doesn't want her brother to be hurt at all."
The girl hugged Sui Jing tightly, her eyes overflowing with crystal, and her petite body trembled miserably in the man's arms.
Sui Jing's heart tightened, and his heart was full of pity, he hurriedly patted the girl's back and responded: "Yu'er, don't worry, my brother is only Yu'er, my brother will never be hurt in the slightest, and he will be with you for the rest of his life." ”
Hearing such a reply, Sui Yu finally let go of her heart, her eyes closed heavily, and only by leaning on Sui Jing's arms could she feel a moment of peace.
"Brother won't go to see that sister in the future, okay?"
The girl asked suddenly.
She could clearly perceive Zhi Lan's danger, not because Zhi Lan was vicious, but because this woman's overly unbridled behavior could lead to danger, obviously, Sui Yu didn't want to go to danger with Jing.
Sui Jing frowned slightly, and when the girl in his arms was gently pulled away, his eyes looked directly at her.
"Doesn't Yu'er like Sister Zhilan? She's a good girl. You shouldn't be so closed-minded, it's time for you to go out and find some playmates. What's more, Sister Zhilan helped us kill the enemy, no matter what, you shouldn't have any feelings of resentment towards her. ”
"Yu'er doesn't need a playmate! Yu'er only needs her brother! ”
Sui Yu frowned, and suddenly shouted, revealing an extremely resistant mood, which only gave the man in front of him a headache.
"Yu'er, why are you always like this? You can't live in the shadow of the past forever, I know that night was cruel to you, but now that my brother is still with you, you should be bold and live like a normal child. ”
As soon as these words came out, my thoughts couldn't help but touch the night a few months ago, when the Jiangfu was secretly attacked by the villains of the Yin State, the whole mansion was destroyed, and more than 300 people were wiped out, and the only survivors were Sui Yu and Sui Jing, who happened to be close at that time. And all this is just because of a ridiculous reason, that is, Sui Jing's father and brother angrily scolded Yi Li when he led the troops to fight in the field, and the narrow-minded Yi Li naturally would not let go of the generals of a small country, so he also took the heads of these two people after the victory in the battle, and immediately sent troops to secretly attack the entire general's mansion. And this is the biggest reason for Sui Jing to participate in this adventure.
At that time, the news caused a sensation in Xun Kingdom, but no one dared to speak out.
Now the revenge should be avenged, but Suiyu has been in the dark memory of opening the door of the mansion on that day and witnessing the corpses all over the ground, which savagely occupied her childhood, and may follow her for the rest of her life.
At this time, the memory was touched, and Suiyu's emotions were wantonly high. But seeing her crying, stomping her feet, and breaking through the gloomy look, she looked a little vicious at this moment.
"Brother! What Yu'er wants is for you to be safe and smooth, is this also wrong! Yu'er wants you to be with Yu'er alone, what's wrong with this! What Yu'er needs is never a playmate, it's you, brother! Yu'er is only you now......"
As she spoke, the tears in the girl's eyes fell in large numbers, and there was no sign of stopping, as if there was an ocean inside.
Looking at it like this, Sui Jingzu trembled a little, but more of a pity, now that the brother and sister rely on each other, Sui Jing must put Sui Yu's emotions first, and it is too cruel to hurt her broken heart for the second time.
"Good...... Okay, well, I won't force you anymore in the future, everything will be as you wish. ”
The helplessness in the stomach finally turned into nothingness when he saw Sui Yu's sad tears, and Sui Jing embraced her in his arms with pity, and the boundless darkness seemed to take root in each other's hearts again, and they seemed to be unable to find the light anymore......
On the other side, Mangshan, who was walking with a few of them, was full of spring breeze, and he was carrying a bunch of good things in his arms, pea yellow, ruyi cakes, and rare snacks that had long been crushed by his burly body
Presented in front of a group of unclothed orphans in the alley.
These orphans all lost their parents because of the iron hooves of the Yin war horses when they abused the land of Xun Kingdom, and in a few months, the children who were still sound are now all thin and boneless, and they have fallen into the situation of beggars.
"Wow! Brother Mangshan, you brought us food again! ”
"That's nature, I can't forget you wherever I go! These are all the days before yesterday...... They were all bought from the side! Hurry up and try it, but it's still delicious? ”
Mang Shan almost slipped his mouth, but in fact, these precious pastries were just stolen from the boys' rooms of some wealthy official mansions when he arrived in Yin Kingdom, and now he is kind-hearted and just wants the children of Xun Kingdom to enjoy some delicious food.
"Brother Mangshan, you are simply a good person! Back to the food we brought back, Xun'er has never eaten such a sweet pastry in his life! Thank you, Brother Mangshan! ”
"Thank you, Brother Mangshan! You are simply our living bodhisattva! ”
"Thank you, Brother Mangshan! Thank you, Brother Mangshan! ”
Looking at the smile on the child's thin face at the moment, as well as the happy children's voices in his ears from time to time, Mang Shan was so happy that he couldn't help but stroke his head and laugh 'hehe'.
"Where, where!"
