Chapter Twenty-Nine: Whose Daughter Is Lan Hua rippling?
Han Xin rested at Xiang's house for one night, and did not see Xiang Yu return home the next day. wanted to ask to see Xiang Liang, but learned from the housekeeper that Xiang Liang had something to do and left Wucheng, and even Shanwu went with him.
Walking alone in the huge Xiang's house for a long time, Han Xin only felt extremely depressed. I was very worried about Yu Miaoyi in my heart, so I wanted to go to Yu's house to explore the limelight.
Fortunately, Xiang Liang instructed his subordinates not to restrain Han Xin's stay and follow him freely. When Han Xin told the housekeeper that he wanted to go to Yufu, the housekeeper sent a little boy to lead the way for him.
Unlike the Xiang family in the south of the city, the Yu family is located in the east of the city. Wucheng used to be the capital of a big country for 200 years, so it has grand specifications, and it is not far from Handan and Daliang in the Central Plains.
It is also wonderful that the Yue State had already been destroyed by Chu before the Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, so Wu Cheng was not much damaged in the unification war of the Qin State. Compared with Handan and Yingdu, which are already rubble, Wucheng is much luckier. The city wall of Wucheng is extremely wide, there are mountains, rivers and lakes in the city, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land, even if the entire Wucheng is surrounded, relying on the cultivation in the city can barely supply the rations of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.
The Yu family is located by the lake in the east of the city.
If the construction style of the Xiang family is wide open and closed, and the atmosphere is abnormal, just like the ambition of Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's two uncles and nephews, then the layout of the Yu family building is much more delicate and small. If he hadn't known Yu Qi's identity in advance, Han Xin would probably have thought that the owner of this mansion was a literati who had no quarrel with the world and was indifferent to fame and fortune.
Han Xin smiled slightly, and secretly thought that it seems that this Yu Gong's ambition is not ambitious, maybe it is because of the hatred of the country and the family that he has become a fan of the Xiang family's rebellion.
The doorman of the Xiang family, who led the way, stepped forward and whispered a few words to a servant at the gate, and a servant of the Yu family came to bring Han Xin in. Along the way, Han Xin admired the red willows and green flowers and water pavilions beside the trail with great interest, and secretly thought that his future father-in-law seemed to be quite elegant, and he had to think of a way to do what he liked.
Why don't you come and read two Tang poems and Song lyrics, and pretend to be coquettish in front of him? The problem is that I only seem to have so many songs, and I can't remember everything else, so I can't chant 'Bright Moonlight in front of the bed' in front of Yu Gong in broad daylight.
As soon as he thought of holding a lupine scarf in his hand, Han Xin's expression of pain was full of poetry, Han Xin felt goosebumps all over his body, and he thought about it.
The courtyard was not big, and it didn't take long for him to arrive in front of the hall, but he found that Yu Qi was sitting in the hall for a while, looking at him with a smile. Han Xin stepped forward and gave a junior salute:
"Participate in Yu Gong."
"Young Master Han, please take a seat." Yu Qi smiled and nodded, did not get up, just waved his hand and motioned for Han Xin to sit down.
"I didn't know that Han Gongzi came, but the old man was lazy and rude."
Han Xin hurriedly said that he didn't dare, saying that he just stopped by to visit.
Han Xin saw that Yu Qi treated him very politely, and he couldn't help but compare Yu Qi and Xiang Liang in his heart.
Compared with Xiang Liang's boldness of 'people arrive before they speak', Yu Qi is more polite. The feeling of talking is completely different from Xiang Liang, it is more of a gentle and elegant, like a spring breeze, but it is polite and reveals a trace of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away, and it is not as easy to get close as Xiang Liang seems.
Probably this is the difference between the two, one is a hero, the other is a scribe.
When Yu Qi heard Han Xin say that he was here to visit Yu Ziqi, he shook his head and smiled apologetically; "I'm afraid that Han Gongzi is going to be disappointed, the dog followed Xiang Yu out of the city to run errands two days ago."
Han Xin let out an 'oh' and thought to himself, of course I knew. After talking nonsense with Yu Qi for a while, he pretended to get up and wanted to leave.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and slapped his head suddenly:
"Oops, I almost forgot to ask, Miss Yu is good."
Yu Qi also remembered that Miao Yi should indeed be very familiar with this Han Xin, after all, Han Xin sent her back all the way, so he said; "I haven't thanked Mr. Han for taking care of the little girl along the way."
Speaking of this, Yu Qi's face darkened, and he said: "It's just that the little girl has been cowardly since she returned home, and she doesn't want to talk because she eats little...... Alas, the old man has been worried about this for the past few days, and he can't eat during the day or sleep at night. ”
Han was so anxious that he almost blurted out 'let me go to see her', and he was afraid that Yu Gong would be suspicious in his heart, so he forcibly suppressed his longing. Without leaving a trace, he said a few words of relief, and took the opportunity to put it forward; "Gong Yu, I used to get guidance from strange people when I was young, and I have a lot of experience in the study of Yaoshi Huang Lao, why don't you let me go and see Miss Yu. I have been with Miss Yu for a long time, and I can be regarded as close friends. ”
Yu Qi said 'oh', but he didn't think so, thinking that the old and famous doctors in Wucheng were helpless, what can you do as a hairy boy. However, seeing Han Xin's 'enthusiasm', it is not easy to refuse. He smiled and nodded his thanks, and did not doubt, but stretched out his hand and made a 'please' gesture.
The backyard of the Yu family is where the female dependents live, and few people usually go in and out except for the maids.
Yu Miaoyi was leaning in front of the window in the attic, bored looking at the colorful peach blossoms outside the window, her pretty face lined with the pink peach blossoms outside the window, it was really 'the peach blossoms on the human face reflecting red', but unfortunately no one appreciated it.
He sighed slightly, not interested. Gently reached out and picked a peach blossom on the branch next to him, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently. Moth's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he thought to himself: I don't know if Brother Han has returned to Wucheng and what he is doing now.
Jade fingers gently peeled off the petals, and muttered in her mouth; "He's thinking about me, he's not thinking about me, he's thinking about me, he's not thinking about me......"
When I counted the last piece, it turned out to be 'he doesn't think about me anymore', and I was in a hurry, and hurriedly comforted myself, "It seems that my hand has just shaken off a petal, yes, it must be like this." This time it doesn't count, come again.
When I looked up, I was about to pick another one, but I saw a very familiar handsome face in the courtyard downstairs, looking at me, with that evil smile on my face, as if I could see what I had just thought.
Yu Miaoyi was overjoyed and blurted out; "Brother Han." I didn't care about putting on my shoes, and ran downstairs with a few steps, how could I still have a little bit of sadness.
When she got to the front, Yu Miaoyi noticed that her father was also by her side, and she was looking at her with a displeased face. The joy was suddenly poured down by the cold water on his head, and he stood aside timidly and shouted; "Daddy."
Yu Qi snorted heavily and said, "Crazy in front of outsiders, what kind of system has become, where is there still a little bit of everyone's beautiful appearance." ”
"It seems that you have been neglected to discipline you in your grandfather's house in the past few years, and you have learned so unruly."
Han Xin hurriedly played a round on the side; "Miss Yu is innocent, this is due to her temperament. Besides, I've been with her for so long, and she has always treated me like an older brother, not an outsider, not in the way. ”
After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Yu Miaoyi with Yu Qi on his back, but Yu Miaoyi had a slight wrinkle in her nose, and gently 'hummed', and stuck out her tongue at Han Xin when her father turned his head and made a grimace. When Yu Qi turned around, she regained her appearance as a good girl, and stood aside honestly.
Yu Qi's face turned slightly pale, and he said to Yu Miaoyi with a straight face: "Han Gongzi is here to visit you to see if he can cure your condition." ”
Yu Miaoyi lowered her head again and said 'oh', thinking that Brother Han was smart and came to pretend to be a ghost again. He followed his father back to the attic.
When Yu Miaoyi sat down, Han Xin pretended to stretch out his fingers, put them on Yu Miaoyi's wrist, and said in a half-loud voice; "Miss Yu's body is fine, it may be that she is not accustomed to the water and soil when she returns to Wucheng, and the qi in her heart is a little heavier, so she will be sluggish, anorexic and less active. I have an ancestral house, which has a miraculous effect on the recovery of the body, why don't you try it for Yu Gong? ”
Yu Qi said urgently; "Nephew, please."
Han Xin shook his head and said; "Make a gentleman a penny, a penny for piercing the heart, two coins for Zisi, and a penny for angelica, and boil it with a low fire for ten points, and it will definitely relieve Miss Yu's boredom."
"Besides, Miss Yu is bored at home all day, and it is inevitable that she will not be in a good mood, so she can go out to play and relax."
Yu Qi also knows a little about pharmacology, and most of these medicinal materials are gentle and nourishing things, even if a strong person eats it, it is beneficial, so he hurriedly turned around to find a note and instructed his subordinates to grab the medicine.
Yu Miaoyi was so smart about Bing Xue, she naturally heard the implied meaning of the name of the string of Chinese medicines in Han Xin's mouth, and couldn't help but chuckle out with a chuckle, and was afraid that her father would hear it, so she hurriedly covered her mouth. A pair of dark eyes looked at Han Xin, full of joy, and the feelings of depression accumulated for many days had long been swept away.
I felt a tightness in my hand again, but it was Han Xin stuffed into a ball of cloth. Seeing him smile slyly, and the retracted hand took advantage of the situation to squeeze at her palm, Yu Miaoyi couldn't help blushing and glanced at him. Hold it tightly in your palm and quietly put the cloth ball into your sleeve.
Here Yu Qi had already ordered the good people to grab the medicine, and when he turned around, he didn't find anything abnormal about the two of them, and said to Han Xin with a smile; "Unexpectedly, the virtuous nephew is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also proficient in pharmacology, and he is really worthy of being a young talent. At first, I heard that Shanwu had always praised you, and I thought that you were just a good person like Xiang Xian's nephew, who could just dance with knives and guns. When I met my nephew today, I found that you spoke decently, and it turned out to be both civil and military. ”
brushed his beard and laughed; "Yes, yes, it's a young talent. You have to have a lot of dealings with dogs in the future, that kid has been used to flying and domineering since he was a child, and he didn't take anyone else in his eyes except Xiang Yu. ”
Han Xin hurriedly said humbly; "Yu Gong praised it."
I thought to myself, it seems that this old man is a straight man, and it should be easier to deal with. Xiang Yu became his eldest brother, and he didn't want to marry Yu Miaoyi when he heard Shanwu, it seems that it was more of a self-made initiative by the two families, intending to strengthen the relationship between the two families.
This is much easier to do, if the eldest brother has no intention of Yu Miaoyi, then just tell him directly, I think he is a hero, and he will not do what is difficult for a strong man. He is full of talent and ability, and he can assist the next family to recover, and it should be enough to have these capitals.
After greeting for a while, Han Xin was afraid that Yu Qi would see a flaw after staying for a long time, and if he knew it early, it would not be good, so he got up and said that he wanted to leave.
Yu Qi politely kept a few words, and then sent Han Xin out.
Yu Miaoyi watched Han Xin's figure disappear at the end of the courtyard in front of the window in a daze, and it took a long time to come to her senses, and she hurriedly took out the cloth ball in her sleeve, only to see a few words written crookedly on it:
"Tomorrow at dusk, Agarwood Building, the tail is alive."
Yu Miaoyi couldn't help laughing, Brother Han wrote 'Tail Shengliu', which means: If you don't come, I will be the last child. There is an allusion in this, which comes from Zhuangzi: The tail life and the woman are under the beam. If the woman doesn't come, the water won't go. Tail Sheng hugged the pillar and died.
After thinking about it stupidly for a while, Yu Miaoyi suddenly stood up and exclaimed urgently; "Snow Swallow, Snow Swallow."
A young girl of the same age as Yu Miaoyi ran upstairs and responded, "What's the matter, Miss." ”
"Quick, go and help me prepare, I want to bathe, and go to the second aunt to help me borrow some beads."
Xue Yannuo sounded, wondering in her heart that Miss was like this today, and was about to go downstairs, but was stopped by Miss again.
"That ......" Yu Miaoyi said with some embarrassment; Go to the kitchen and help me ask if there is any food, I'm a little hungry. ”
