In the middle of the night, the house was so quiet, the bright moonlight entered through the window, and there was only a slight glimmer of light in the dark room. He Jiehao faintly heard the crying sound of a girl in his sleep, so he opened his eyes, and when he sat up, it turned out that Hua Hong was sitting at the head of the bed and crying secretly. He Jiehao sat next to him and said, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Husband, the concubine was born in the Qinglou and has a humble status, I am afraid that your father will not accept me as a woman in the Qinglou, so I am sad," After finishing speaking, Hua Hong's head rested on He Jiehao's chest.

He Jiehao stretched out his hand and gently stroked Hua Hong's head and said: "No matter how humble you are born, as long as you and I are deeply in love, even the thoughts of your parents are inseparable." ”

"Husband."

"Madam, it's late at night, it's time to sleep, don't think too much."

"Husband, as long as you are by my side, my heart feels a lot more steady, it's not too early, let's fall asleep together."

In the early morning of the next day, He Jiehao walked out of the house with Hua Hong, got into the carriage, and then, the entourage took out the luggage bag and put it on the carriage, and then sat in front and drove the carriage away slowly. The carriage was moving very slowly, perhaps because Hua Bonus was pregnant and was not prone to too many bumps. When the carriage left Hebei, it was already dark, and there were no towns around, and there were no people in the wilderness, and it seemed that there were only camping in the wilderness. He Jiehao called his entourage and said, "He Erbao, how much dry food is in the package?" ”

The attendant took the package from the carriage, opened it and looked at it, then looked at He Jiehao and said, "Master, there is not much dry food in the package." ”

"So what to do? In this wilderness, there are no people around. ”

"Master, the little one goes around the mountains and sees if there are any pheasants or hares."

"It's getting dark, stay safe on the mountain."

"Got it, master," After finishing speaking, He Erbao ran into the dense forest, pulled out a dagger, cut off a very thick branch, tied it to both ends of the branch with rattan, made it into a bow, pulled the bowstring, the elasticity was still very large, and then broke a branch to sharpen the end, and made an arrow in his hand. He Erbao went up the mountain with a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, and came to the wilderness through the dense forest, and saw a pheasant in the wilderness, with a high buttocks, only to see the exposed buttocks standing up with various feathers, like a shuttlecock kicked by people, and his head was covered by the grass, as if he was pecking at some food. He Erbao lurked in the deep grass, slowly stepping forward, his steps were very light and light, pulling the bow with one hand and holding the arrow with the other, only to hear the sound of swishing, the arrow left the bowstring and flew towards the prey.

He Jiehao lit the bonfire, set up the tent, and sat in front of the tent with Huahong, looking at the bonfire in front of him. Hua Hong looked at He Jiehao beside her and said, "Husband, you see that the sky is already dark, do you say that Erbao is in danger?" ”

He Jiehao put one hand on Hua Hong's shoulder, and Hua Hong's head rested on He Jiehao's arms. He Jiehao looked up at the stars in the night sky and said, "No, madam, let's wait here quietly." ”

"Okay."

The two sat on the lawn, standing by the campfire, looking up at the stars in the sky. The night breeze in the mountains was slightly cool, He Jiehao took off his coat and draped it on Hua Hong's shoulders, Hua Hong looked at He Jiehao with a smile, and continued to rest his head in He Jiehao's arms.

"Master, master, madam, what do you think I hit?" He Erbao ran out of the night happily with a rabbit in one hand and a pheasant in the other. Hua Hong raised her head and looked, and He Jiehao also looked at He Erbao with a smile. He Erbao rushed forward and squatted aside, plucked his feathers, dug out the internal organs of the hare or pheasant, and threw them out, set them on the tree and grilled them on a bonfire, sprinkled them with a little salt and pepper, and turned the barbecue to make its fragrance come out naturally. He Erbao ripped off the roasted pheasant chicken leg and sent it to him, He Jiehao took it and handed the chicken leg to Hua Hong, Hua Hong tore off the shredded meat and put it in his mouth, nodded and said: "Well, it tastes very good, He Erbao, what did you do before?" ”

"Erbao's ancestors have been hunters in the mountains for generations, and they make a living from hunting, and the master is the best official Erbao has met in his life. One day, Erbao went hunting in the mountains, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in and killed people, Erbao's father also died, it was the master who took my case and began to try the case to kill the corrupt officials and those soldiers who broke into the village, and avenged this for our people.

He Jiehao took the rabbit leg in He Erbao's hand, bit down a piece of meat and chewed it slowly, and said: "These corrupt officials are not effective in quelling the chaos, rushing into the house to kill the good and risking the merits, and disregarding people's lives, the official is worried that he can't find their empirical evidence, but he didn't expect these two treasures to come to sue, and the next statement of the official, killing the corrupt officials to boost the army's heart, only then did the later assessment of the chaos, speaking of which the two treasures are also meritorious," He Jiehao said with a silent smile after speaking.

"There won't be wolves here," Bloom Hong looked at the dense forest behind her, a little scared.

"Master, madam, you go into the tent to rest, the little one is standing by the bonfire, only if the bonfire is not extinguished, the hungry wolf will not approach," He Erbao looked at the two of them and said very resolutely.

"Erbao, you also have to pay attention to rest, we have to hurry tomorrow."

"Got it, sir."

In Chengdu, He Yuan used to be Heshen's Xingyuan, and those local officials bribed Heshen to send this Xingyuan in order to get promoted and make a fortune, and it was difficult to seek official prosperity by eliminating disasters. In front of the gate of He Yuan, there are two large stone lions sitting, and the stone steps in front of the gate are paved with white jade. Walk up the stone steps to open the two gates, there is a large hall and guest room facing the door, there are many celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall inside the hall gate, especially have the temperament of a literati. The tables and chairs in the hall are arranged on both sides, and there are bonsai such as four seasons cedar, orchid grass, and white jade on the desk. In front of the hall, peach, plum, and pear trees are planted in order, and there is nothing more than the fragrant cinnamon fragrance on both sides. There are rockeries in the backyard, lakes, rivers, bamboo forests, pines and cypresses, etc., the houses are vaguely connected to the pavilions and pavilions between the pines and bamboos by the mountain and the water corridor, the portals overlap, the carved beams and painted buildings, if there is a phoenix in the eaves corner, there are flying dragons on the roof, such luxury proves that there are many wealth of Shen, and the wealth of the country is rich and even the palace can not be compared.

Mrs. He and his wife, Chen Qianyuan walked into this He Garden, looking around, they may be dreaming that it is difficult to think that such a luxurious garden is their residence, the first time to enter He Yuan is like entering a dream fairyland, like stepping into this landscape painting. Chen Qianyuan once inadvertently sighed: "Wow, this place is so big, like a palace." ”

The Taigong immediately stopped: "Don't make such disobedient words, the saint has a great grace to us today, and you can't be disrespectful to the saint." Mrs. He stood in front of the door of the hall and knelt down, pulled Mrs. and Chen Qianyuan's sleeves, and Mrs. and Chen Qianyuan knelt down. He Taigong looked up at the sky and shouted, "O saint! You are higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, and the grass people swear to repay the court and the country," and then bowed three times. Chen Qianyuan helped the princess and his wife to stand up, entered the house, and ordered several subordinates to sweep the dust out of the house. The houses had been uninhabited for a long time and were covered in dust and cobwebs.

He Jiehao rushed for three days to arrive in Chengdu, standing in front of the gate of the mansion, the servants and maids stood on both sides to greet him, and the prince and his wife and Chen Qianyuan greeted him outside. He Jiehao stepped down from the carriage and stood in place and said, "Father and mother are fine." ”

"Hao'er's return, both father and your mother are fine," the duke and the duchess both laughed from ear to ear.

"Husband," Chen Qianyuan stood aside with some excitement in her heart and tears in her eyes.

"Ma'am."

Chen Qianyuan wanted to pounce forward, but He Jiehao turned around and greeted Hua Hong, who was sitting in the carriage, and stood in front of them and introduced to her: "This is my father, mother, and wife. ”

Hua Hong stood next to He Jiehao and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister," and saluted in turn. Chen Qianyuan returned the salute: "Sister." "Looking at his behavior, this bonus looks like a lady, and he doesn't look like a lowly person at all.

He Jiehao stood aside and said, "Father, mother, this is the bonus girl that the child mentioned to you. ”

Mrs. He's face immediately changed, and he didn't look very happy, as if he didn't welcome this Hua Hong into the door, and saw that Hua Hong was pregnant, so he reluctantly said, "Hao'er, let's talk about it in the door." The Duchess stood aside without saying a word, and followed her into the hall. He Jiehao and Hua Hong stood in the hall, and Mrs. He sat on the hall, without the slightest smile, making a very serious appearance. The hall was very quiet, and the Duchess sat next to her and said with a smile: "Hao'er." ”

"Mother, father," He Jiehao said as he stood in the middle of the hall and looked at his parents in the hall.

Mrs. He called a servant: "Guixi." ”

"The little one is here," the subordinate stood up and looked at the Tai Gong in the hall.

"Let's help the red girl to the side room to rest first."

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, the bonus is retired," the bonus saluted and got up, and was about to walk out with the next person. He Jiehao stepped forward, turned around and said, "Father, mother, and the child have also retired." ”

"Hao'er, you stay, you have something to say for your father," He Jiehao was about to leave with Hua Bonus, but was stopped by Taigong.

"Husband."

"Madam, you go down first, the husband will come later," Hua Hong looked back at He Jiehao and nodded, and followed the people out of the hall.

"Madam, you can go down too," Mrs. He said to Mrs. Taigong, who was sitting next to her. Chen Qianyuan stepped forward and said, "Mother, daughter-in-law helps you down." ”

"Hmm," the Duchess still maintained a kind smile, put one hand on Chen Qianyuan's hand, and walked down together. Then the Taigong retreated from the subordinates on the left and right, and when the subordinates walked out, the Taigong ordered them to close the door, and only Taigong and He Jiehao, father and son, were left in the hall.

He Jiehao stood in the middle of the hall and said, "Father, is there anything important to tell the child?" ”
