Chapter 32: The Unknown Gaze

After Xiahou Yuan saw off Cao Pi and Liu Ye successively, he turned around and went back to the house, and did not stay when he came to the main hall, but walked straight to the screen behind the main hall, turned around, and went out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the screen, according to common sense, it is a door to enter the courtyard after entering, but behind the screen of Xiahou Yuan's house is an inner hall, and after the inner hall is the door to enter the courtyard, and at this time a woman is kneeling in the inner hall.

This woman has a delicate face, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her eyes are like stars. Melon seed face, fair skin, tall and thin, childish face, with a total horn on the head, indicating that there is no adult, in this era women have the same ceremony as men when they are adults, but the woman's coming-of-age ceremony is called the Lu Li, the process is similar to the crown ceremony, but the woman is wearing a hairpin, hairpin or phoenix crown (that is a princess and other characters). Before the ceremony, some women would tie their hair in a bun, and some would tie their horns like men.

Although this woman is not an adult, her figure has already appeared, at this time she is wearing a fairy skirt, covered with fur, quite a bit of a fair lady's appearance, but the woman's eyes are smart, from time to time will turn a few times, it looks like a lively person.

As soon as Xiahou Yuan entered the inner hall, the woman grinned, stood up and saluted, "Father." ”

"Juan'er, Sikong Gongzi has already seen it, and you are not allowed to mention the matter of returning to your hometown in the future, and you are not allowed to say anything about Sikong Mansion blocking Gongzi." Xiahou Yuan smiled kindly and said.

The woman in front of her is Xiahou Yuan's adopted daughter, Xiahou Juan, she originally returned to her hometown because of her personal maid, and she was bored to stay in Xudu alone, so the market would write a letter to Xiahou Yuan, and the letter kept clamoring to go back to her hometown, in fact, she went back just to play with that maid.

Originally, today's father Xiahou Yuan came to pick him up and return to his hometown, who would have thought that his father suddenly opened his mind and actually wanted to take the maid back, which made Xiahou Juan happy, and at the same time there were some doubts in his heart, although his father loved him, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xiahou Juan was pulled out of the ghost gate by Xiahou Yuan, and he had never been said a word by Xiahou Yuan, everything was pampered, plus he and Xiahou Yuan went south and north at a young age, fighting everywhere, and his heart matured quickly, seeing his father's sudden change of sex, and knowing that he was deeply favored by his father, he asked his doubts, Xiahou Yuan naturally did not hide it, only said that it was Sikong Gongzi who reminded him that she Xiahou Juan just missed the maid, and bringing the maid could relieve her homesickness.

After getting this answer, Xiahou Juan suddenly became curious about this Sikong Gongzi, and when she heard that her father said that this Gongzi was the same age as herself, she couldn't help but be even more curious, after all, the man who could guess her mind without meeting in this year was the first time Xiahou Juan had seen it in her life, so she proposed to meet this Gongzi.

Although the Han Dynasty did not have the strict etiquette of the Song Dynasty, it was still not appropriate for boys and girls to meet, not to mention that he Xiahou Yuan was still Cao Cao's subordinate, and he rashly invited the son of his superior to his daughter's house, what happened? It is completely inconsistent with Xiahou Yuan's style of doing things. So he immediately refused his daughter's request.

But Xiahou Juan is not an ordinary girl, after being rejected by her father, she immediately coquettish, cried, and even brought up the matter of returning to her hometown, and said that Sikong Gongzi was in Xudu, if the father did not let his daughter see it, after the father returned to Yanling, the daughter would go to Sikong Mansion to block the people, Xiahou Yuan doted on his daughter, and naturally couldn't resist her, so he came up with this way to invite Cao Pi to play chess.

As for Liu Ye, it was because he Xiahou Yuan was actually not proficient in the way of the game, so he invited Liu Ye to come. On the other hand, in terms of identity, Liu Ye is also a relative of the Han family, and his identity is more compatible with Cao Pi, and it is normal to play chess together.

The result was naturally Cao Pi and Liu Ye playing chess in the main hall, and Xiahou Juan spied through the screen in the inner hall, in addition to being curious in the middle, there was also a feeling that Xiahou Juan himself did not say it, she just felt that firstly, this unmasked son guessed her mind at once, which really made her curious, and secondly, she felt that if she didn't see someone who knew her mind well, it would be a little regrettable.

Now that Xiahou Juan has achieved his goal, he is naturally in a good mood: "That's natural, hey~ This Sikong boy is so strange, he is young, but he has a wooden expression, he doesn't smile when he laughs, he is expressionless when he speaks, and he doesn't even have an expression when he is playing, not like a person who understands his daughter's mind." ”

Xiahou Yuan laughed: "This is not Mu Ne, but the son of his courtesy, his words do not change, and his smile does not lose his manners, he can do this at a young age, and I am afraid that no one will be able to see what he thinks from his words and deeds in the future." ”

"Father is saying that when this son grows up, no one can guess his mind? But he guessed his daughter's mind, which was really a bit frightening. Xiahou Juan patted his chest as he spoke, stuck out his tongue, and looked frightened.

"Yes, others can't guess him, but he can guess others...."Xiahou Yuan smiled: "That's very powerful." After speaking, he was thinking in his heart: "Before Zi Yu was brave and resolute, he could fight well, I thought he was the most proud son of Sikong, but I didn't expect this second son to be more powerful, at a young age, and behaved moderately, which is also good... There are successors! From this point of view, it is not a bad thing for the son to die, otherwise when the second son becomes an adult in the future, he is afraid that Sikong will be embarrassed, and he is afraid that Sikong's life is too good, and the other sons will also ....."

The more Xiahou Yuan thought about it, the more he thought about it, and his face became more solemn, but Xiahou Juan's words that were not loud at the decibel level pulled Xiahou Yuan back from his contemplation.

"Father, can you marry your daughter to Cao Gongzi."

"What? You have a daughter's family, how can you talk nonsense? Xiahou Yuan said this, but he had other thoughts in his heart, in fact, he called Cao Pi over to play chess today, and let his daughter watch in the dark, which has proved that he has some special thoughts.

"It's not nonsense! I heard before that Xi'er was going back to her hometown to get married, and no one even knew the name of the person she married! If his daughter is the same in the future, then it is better to marry this Cao Gongzi, at least he can know his daughter's mind by listening to his father's few words, and in the future, day and night, if he can guess what his daughter thinks every time, his life will definitely be comfortable. What's more, this son is handsome, and he won't be too sad about him. ”

You can marry someone after the Han Dynasty ceremony, the Han Dynasty ceremony is generally 15 years old, but now the army is in chaos, the population has decreased sharply, and there are many people who are 13 or 4 years old, in other words, Xiahou Juan will marry in a few years, the ancient people are more precocious, and I heard the maid mention this matter before, so this Xiahou Yuan's beloved daughter did not shy away from saying it.

"Juan'er, Gongzi Cao is now Sikong's eldest son, and he will be a noble in the future, even if his father has the heart to allow you to enter Cao's Mansion, I'm afraid you will also be a concubine! As a father, he is a general, and his identity is not enough for you to enter Cao's Mansion as a wife, and most of them will marry a princess of the dynasty. Xiahou Yuan said slowly.

"Whether he is a wife or not, his daughter's heart is not here, if he can know his daughter's heart, he can also be regarded as knowing and loving each other, this title is not so important." Xiahou Juan said very cheerfully.

"Juan Er is open-minded, but the abbot of the coming day, you have this heart, and your father knows..."

Cao Pi, who had returned to Cao's Mansion and had already gone to find Duke Zhou, had no idea that after he had finished playing a game of chess, Xiahou Yuan's father and daughter actually had such a magical conversation.
