Chapter 131: The Outside World

Xie San was very angry with Chang'an, but Chang'an was also full of grievances. Of course, he knew what the point was, didn't he finish a sentence and was interrupted?

Xie San walked a few steps in the house, and ordered his subordinates to investigate who He Baihai had been in contact with in the past few days, and ordered Chang'an to go to the yamen again to inquire about the situation. At this moment, he was full of unwillingness and helplessness. The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, if everything happens in the capital, how can he be so subdued?

The more Xie San thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should stay in Jizhou to see who was pretending to be a ghost. But according to the calculation of time, Xie Zhenghui should almost return to the capital, and at this time, the holy decree to summon him back to Beijing may already be halfway through.

At the same time, He Huan got off the carriage outside the second gate of the Shen family, and she led He Jing and followed the daylily to the guest room. Seeing that the destination of their trip was still the guest room used to entertain VIPs last time, she asked Xuancao: "Did your cousin-in-law order you to bring us here?" ”

Daylily pursed her lips and chuckled, and replied lightly: "Miss Cousin, the slave maid just did what she was told. With that, she turned her head and ordered the little maid to prepare tea and snacks, and ordered someone to bring hot water, and diligently served them to wash their hands and faces.

When Xuancao withdrew from the house with the little maids, He Huan stopped her under the porch, lowered her voice and asked, "Is there any news over there at the yamen?" ”

Xuancao didn't think about it, and replied: "Miss Biao, you can live with peace of mind, there is an uncle over there in the yamen, and I will definitely notify you immediately if there is any news." ”

He Huan knew that with Shen Jinglun's habits, since he was involved in this matter, he must have sent someone to the yamen to wait for the news. The people he sent. is different from her ordering Uncle Zhang to go to the yamen to inquire blindly. It is impossible that there has been no feedback so far. She also wanted to ask. I saw Daylily smile at her and politely invite her back to the house to rest.

Inside the house, He Jing curiously looked at the furniture inside and out. Seeing He Huan standing under the porch in a daze, he strode up to her and praised her sincerely: "Eldest sister, this house is so beautiful." ”

He Huan was slightly stunned, and a sadness was born in his heart. On the same day, she married Shen Jinglun. Her younger brother Lin Nuoyan saw Shen Jinglun's collection, and he also showed an expression similar to He Jing's at the moment.

Ten years ago, she experienced the wealth of the Lin family, in order not to let her younger brother become a frog at the bottom of the well, she often relied on her memory to draw the treasures that originally belonged to the Lin family, hoping that he could broaden his horizons and know how to distinguish the value of objects. Of course, she also hoped that one day he would be able to redeem those things for the Lin family.

The last three years. The Lin family looks like it is slowly improving, but compared with ten years ago. It's not the same for a long time. Let's put it this way, Lin Guqing's treasury caught fire, and among the things burned, the most valuable thing was the calligraphy and painting that Shen Jinglun lent him. She guessed that Xie Sanyi burned down the warehouse that day, and she also felt that those things were not worth cherishing at all, but Lin Guqing was probably as distressed as being stripped of flesh alive.

He Jing is the same age as Lin Nuoyan, since he began to remember, the He family is only an empty shell, except for the mansion that has been in disrepair for many years, he has never seen any real "beautiful" things, so he will sincerely admire the rooms of the Shen family.

Many things need time to accumulate before they can reach a certain height, and the true world is by no means made of silver.

Ten years ago, the Lin He family accumulated several generations before they had the scale at that time. Now, the two families have fallen so completely, even if Lin Nuoyan and He Jing are admitted to the top prize, it will be difficult to restore the family to its former glory in their generation.

At the beginning, she didn't want her younger brother to grow up to be ridiculed for being "visionless", so she ignored Lin Mengyan and ridiculed her, and taught her younger brother to see those playthings and lose his mind, and he was ambitious. At this time, He Jing is also her younger brother, he is as dependent on her as Lin Nuoyan, and she should treat everyone equally.

In the blink of an eye, He Huan lowered his head and smiled at He Jing: "Does Brother Jing like this room?" ”

"No, it's not." He Jing's face turned red and murmured: "Mother said that a gentleman needs to have character and integrity, know how to cultivate himself, should not be greedy for pleasure, and should not envy those who do not belong to him, let others look down on us." ”

He Huan pouted disappreciatively.

"Eldest sister, isn't my mother right?"

"It's not." He Huan smiled and shook his head, "No one should be envious of other people's things, but in addition to not being envious, we must also have a vision to know which things are worth appreciating and which things are just vain." ”

"But my mother said that there is nothing to see if it doesn't belong to me, so I have no intention of studying."

He Huan knew that Tao taught He Jing that he should not be jealous and envious of the wealth of others, but in fact, she didn't do it herself. In the world, only when we are calm and confronted can we truly let go. To be precise, the Tao family still did not let go of the Tao family and the He family's ending from prosperity to decline, so he could only choose not to look at it or not, like an ostrich, burying his head in it.

He Huan touched He Jing's head with a smile and replied, "Auntie just hopes that you can concentrate on reading, but if you can study hard, why not know some 'beautiful' things?" We are just pure appreciation, as long as we don't want to win people's favor, we won't be jealous of the master's family, or bent on the master's family, it doesn't matter. You have to remember that no matter how beautiful things are, they are all dead things, and the most important thing is our mentality. ”

"Eldest sister, what is mentality?"

He Huan thought for a while, pointed to the peony flower screen in the house and said, "Brother Jing, what do you think of this screen?" ”

"It's beautiful, I like these flowers, they ......" He Jing thought about it sideways, "The color of this flower is beautiful, one flower is in full bloom, as if it is human, and it looks very happy, so I am also very happy to see it." ”

"That's how you feel when you look at this screen. But some people don't think so. Some people look at the screen and think, why is the screen Uncle Shen's, not his, God is too unfair; Some people don't think that the screen is good-looking at all, but they think that since it is something from the Shen family, it must be very valuable; There are also people who rack their brains to get an identical piece, even if they don't have the money to buy the exact same, and it is good to get a fake. And so on, that is, different people, different mentalities in the face of the same thing. ”

He Jing became more and more confused, and asked puzzledly: "Eldest sister, is it wrong for those people to think?" ”

"I can't say it's completely wrong." He Huan shook his head, "I just hope that Brother Jing doesn't become like that." You think Jizhou City is very big now, but when you grow up and walk out of Jizhou City, you will find that the world outside is very big, and there are many things that we have never seen before, and we must have a correct mentality when the time comes......"

"Eldest sister, what do you mean by 'the outside world'?" He Jing looked curious.

"This has to wait until you grow up and see it yourself." He Huan looked up at the window. Before marrying Shen Jinglun, she didn't know about the world outside Jizhou City. He is accustomed to the vast world outside, but now he is trapped in Jizhou, and he can't leave for the rest of his life, it must be uncomfortable, right?

The little maid outside the window noticed He Huan's gaze, unconsciously shrunk her neck, and quietly went to find the daylily.

After a while, Daylily stood in front of Shen Jinglun with her head down, not daring to pant loudly. She just told her master about He Huan's words and deeds in great detail. After listening to this, the master didn't say a word, just sat expressionlessly, like an old monk in a dilemma.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Jinglun muttered in a low voice: "I only know now that the relationship between their sister and brother is so good." ”

Daylily was slightly stunned, and echoed: "Yes, Miss Cousin has been holding Young Master Cousin's hand since she got off the carriage, and she hasn't let go all the way. Young Master Cousin also respects Miss Cousin very much, even if he eats a piece of pastry, he also gives it to Miss Cousin first. ”

"I know." Shen Jinglun responded lightly, waved his hand at her, signaled her to retreat, and told her to serve He Huan's sister and brother attentively.

When he was the only one left in the house, his fingertips touched the bamboo flute left by Lin Xiyan, and he suddenly thought of that day.

He no longer remembered the year, month, or day of the day, only that it was a sunny morning. She held her brother in one hand and her mother in the other. He couldn't hear what they said, he only felt that her smile was very dazzling, and even Lin Nuoyan and Dahan were infected by her.

Thinking of Lin Xiyan's smile, Shen Jinglun only felt his heart twitch fiercely, and his right hand unconsciously held the bamboo flute, and his joints gradually turned white. (To be continued......)
