Chapter 14 "Zhilan Jade Tree"
"Brother Xiao, it's been ten years, Brother Fool has been looking for Xin Yi for ten years, and today I finally found it, even if I die, I can turn a blind eye." Xiao Xinyi's thoughts were interrupted by a sad cry behind him, Xiao Xinyi turned around and saw Zhuge Haochu bowing in the southeast direction, which was the direction of Jiangcheng.
"Father, mother, grandmother, do you have eyes under the spring?" Xiao Xinyi looked at Zhuge Haochu, who was kneeling on the ground, and sneered.
Zhuge Haochu, did you have a role in the catastrophe ten years ago?
In less than three months after the Xiao family was wiped out, Zhuge Haochu, Xiao Chonglou's best friend in the past, sat in the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Xiao Xinyi didn't want to believe from the bottom of her heart that Zhuge Haochu had anything to do with what happened ten years ago, after all, in her few childhood memories, the Zhuge family has always had a very important position.
Zhuge Haochu, when the Xiao family suffered a catastrophe ten years ago, where were you?
Zhuge Haochu got up and saw Xiao Xinyi, whose face was pale, and said, "Xin'er, I..."
Xiao Xinyi said: "Zhuge Alliance Master, Xiao Xinyi has died in the fire ten years ago, and now it is Jiang Haitang standing in front of you."
If it weren't for Master's explanation, Xiao Xinyi really didn't want to mention her name that she hadn't used for ten years in front of this person.
Zhuge Haochu's face was slightly sad, and he said: "Yes, you are Jiang Haitang now, but I promise you that Xiao Xinyi will come back one day."
"Today is only for the birthday of the alliance leader, and I dare not disturb the alliance leader's birthday because of Haitang's private affairs."
Anyway, he didn't want to say more, turned around and opened the door and walked out of the study, Zhuge Haochu looked at her slender back and finally couldn't speak.
Xiao Xinyi returned to the hall first, Zhuge Haochu followed, everyone saw that the faces of the two were depressed, everyone in the hall didn't know what happened, no one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.
Fortunately, at this time, someone outside the door was shouting, "The eldest son, the second son, is back." Everyone looked towards the door, and there was a young man in the courtyard who was striding towards the hall, only to see that the person who came had a delicate face and an elegant temperament. Wearing a cyan robe, his hair was slightly messy by the wind, and he thought it was probably caused by galloping all the way.
"Zhuge is on the order of the alliance leader to exterminate a group of bandits who have disturbed Wudeng Slope recently, and he has come to return his life to the alliance leader today. The eldest brother has taken the captives he brought back this time to the back mountain, and will come to return to his life later. ”
Zhuge Haochu's second son, Zhuge Zheng, has clear words.
Leng Moyan looked at him, and then at Xiao Xinyi, the man she saw in the woods that night was not the second son of the Zhuge family.
As soon as Zhuge Qinglang entered the hall, he knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and saluted Zhuge Haochu, although he was a father and son, he also needed to abide by the rules of martial arts on important occasions.
Zhuge Haochu has been immersed in martial arts for many years, and he has already achieved that his mood is invisible, but Xiao Xinyi's appearance has too much impact on him, and it is difficult to bear it for a while, so there will be a short-term gaffe.
At this time, Zhuge Haochu had already hidden the grief and shock just now in his heart, and returned to the dignified posture of the leader of the martial arts alliance.
However, Mrs. Zhuge has not seen her son for many days, and she can't help herself for a while. got up from his seat and pulled Zhuge Qinglang up from the ground: "Get up quickly and let Weiniang see, the first time you went out to do errands, you lost so much weight and darkened a lot, you must have suffered a lot outside, did you hurt anything." can miss being a mother. Mrs. Zhuge dragged Zhuge with both hands and said clearly, her eyes were red as if she was about to shed tears.
In this world, whether it is a rich lady or a poor street beggar, the care for her children is the same.
Xiao Xinyi and Leng Moyan looked at the scene in front of them, a trace of gloom flashed in their eyes, such a knees of Cheng Huan, maybe the two of them had seen it in their dreams.
Zhuge Haochu coughed slightly, Mrs. Zhuge felt out of shape, and then pulled Zhuge Qinglang back to stand next to his seat, sitting on the chair and dragging his hand to look up and down carefully, for fear of missing something.
Zhuge Haochu also swept towards Zhuge Qinglang lightly, although he did not lose his temper like his own wife, but he also saw a father's concern for his son from his eyes.
"Zhuge Yin came to repay the alliance leader." The eyes of everyone in the hall were attracted by Zhuge mother and son, and at some point, another young man in the hall came quietly, and at this time he was kneeling on one knee and clasping his fists in salute.
The person who came was Zhuge Haochu's eldest son Zhuge Yin, whose name was Qinghong.
Zhuge Haochu reversed the calm expression he had just seen Zhuge Qinglang, his face was very happy, he stepped down from the seat, stretched out a hand and pulled up the young man who was kneeling on the ground, "Yin'er, hurry up, you've worked hard these days, your letter has been seen by my father, and I have done a good job." ”
"It is the duty of a person in the martial arts to eliminate harm and share worries for his father." Although Zhuge Qinghong is young, his voice is low and magnetic, and his ears are like jade and stone.
Zhuge Qinghong let go of Zhuge Haochu's hand, helped him back to his seat, and then took three steps back, Zhuge Qinglang left from Mrs. Zhuge and stood on the right side behind him, the two knelt on their knees together, put their foreheads deep on the ground and made a big salute: "The child wishes his father a blessed life, every year there is today, and every year there is a present day." ”
"Okay, okay, get up, get up." After saying that, I couldn't help but laugh. At this time, Zhuge Haochu was no longer the master of the martial arts who ruled the rivers and lakes, but a kind father, watching his two extraordinary sons enjoying the joy of family in front of him, what was there to be dissatisfied with in life.
The two of them got up and stood on the right side of Zhuge Haochu. Mrs. Zhuge saw that Zhuge Qinglang and Zhuge Qinghong were standing together and did not return to her side, and her expression was slightly dissatisfied.
Everyone in the hall saw that the Zhuge family had finished talking about the lovesickness that they hadn't seen for many days, and they all said hello to Zhuge Haochu: "The two sons show their talents, and the alliance leader is really a blessing." "Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, and the two sons have been able to eliminate harm for the martial arts at a young age, which is really a blessing for the rivers and lakes." "The tiger father has no dogs, and the prince Zhuge has a dignified appearance, quite the demeanor of the alliance leader."
"Where is it, you praise it, the dog is still young, and I will rely on your advice in the future."
Xiao Xinyi looked at the flattery of everyone in the hall, smiled coldly, and couldn't help but fall on the young man in light blue clothes. What I saw in the woods that night was really the eldest son of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Qinghong.
I haven't seen him for ten years, and the chubby little boy has grown up. Where is the shadow of the young man in front of him.
Before meeting Zhuge Qinghong, Xiao Xinyi always thought that only the men in this world were worthy of the senior brother Zhong Yuan, and Shanglangyan was unique, and there were no two words in the world.
The light blue clothes lined his long body like a pine and cypress, and there was a thick callus on his bony left hand, Zhuge Qinghong ate with his left hand ten years ago, this will not change, Xiao Xinyi remembered it so clearly because when the two of them sat together to eat when they were children, the chopsticks always fought. So that night in the woods, Xiao Xinyi had already guessed his identity.
Zhuge Qinghong, the eldest son of Zhuge Villa, the eldest son of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, although Xiao Xinyi was locked up in the mountain by his master for ten years and knew little about the outside world, she had heard of this name.
Once, when the elder brother came back from the mountain, he was full of praise for a young man, saying that he had Tibetan literature and ink in his chest, standing like a Zhilan jade tree, and smiling like a bright moon in his arms. It seems that all the praise in the world has been applied to this young man.
Xiao Xinyi knew that Zhong Yuan's temperament had always been cold and indifferent, and he rarely commented on people, so he curiously asked whose young man was so favored by him, and after many years, it was Xiao Xinyi who heard Zhuge Qinghong's name again.
Xiao Xinyi still remembers that when she was a child, she said that Zhuge Qinghong smiled and had two front teeth, just like the gray rabbit he gave her to raise, and turned around and left Zhuge Qinghong angrily. It made it difficult for her to connect the Zhuge Qinghong in her impression with the Zhuge Qinghong in Zhong Yuan's mouth.
But when the young man like Zhilan Yushu first entered the hall, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Xinyi, who was fast, had to wonder if he was dazzled.
This forbearance is indeed very human.
The reason why she knew that she didn't see dazzles was because she knew that the boy who walked past her did have a knot. Because now sitting side by side with Zhuge Haochu in the main hall is not Zhuge Qinghong's biological mother Mu Huasheng. It is Zhuge Qinglang's biological mother catkins.
seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, and Zhuge Qinghong followed his feelings and met Xiao Xinyi's gaze.
There is a kind of person in this world, no matter how long they have been apart or how far apart they are, as long as they meet again, they will be able to recognize them at a glance in the crowd.
Zhuge Qinghong's body seemed to shake, and shook again.
