Chapter 500: A Lotus Out of the Water
Xue Lian was teased by the Xun'er girl, and suddenly became frightened, rolled up the corners of her clothes, and stomped her feet unobtrusively: "If I don't come, as soon as I see someone, Sister Xun'er will make fun of me!" ”
Xun'er smiled and showed a mouthful of small white teeth, leaned forward and said, "Haha, it's funny to see how shy you look!" You were originally my future sister-in-law, now call me sister, and when you marry into my family, I will have to call you sister-in-law. Well! It's only been a year since I saw him, and I'm more smart, and I'll tell my little brother when I go back, he must like it. ”
Xue Lian's face was tender after all, a little blushing like a flower, she didn't want to continue the topic, and said busily: "Sister Xun'er, when did you come, why don't you go to my house?" ”
At this time, the old family had already caught up, and he also recognized this Xun'er girl, and respectfully bowed: "The old slave has seen Xun'er girl. ”
Xun'er nodded to the old family, and said to Xuelian: "I came this time to play with you, but coincidentally, there was a messenger from the court, and as soon as Daddy arrived, he was arrested by Luo Dudu to accompany the wine." Originally, Daddy still wanted me to accompany him, but I was bored, and I slipped out after staying in the back house of the Luo Du Governor's Mansion for a while, no, I was about to go to your house. ”
When Yang Fan heard this, he walked over to them. Yang Fan has lived both here and on earth, and it is not easy to inquire about Huang Jingrong's whereabouts, since the Xuelian family is here, they may be able to grasp some of Huang Yushi's whereabouts. When he heard the Kaoru girl say that her father was going to accompany the Chin Cha to have a drink, he made up his mind even more.
"Miss Snow Lotus!"
Yang Fan called, and Xun'er and Xuelian turned around at the same time, and saw a young man standing there with a surprised face.
Xuelian looked at Yang Fan and said hesitantly: "You are ......"
Yang Fan snorted and said, "Miss Xuelian doesn't recognize me?" Do you remember when you were in Luoyang, the man who was thrown into your pool? And the gnats you hide in the street lamps......"
"Ahh Yes! Ah......h
Xuelian pointed at Yang Fan, her mouth opened wider and wider, and for a long time, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "I remember!" Ha! It's you, why did you get here? ”
Snow Lotus jumped twice. It suddenly occurred to me that something happened. Hurriedly handed over all the things in the skirt to the old family, stretched out his hand to pull Yang Fan and hurriedly flashed to the side of the road, seeing that he was still leading a horse, he whispered: "You still have a horse to ride?" Looks like it's not a prisoner who has been exiled here, right? ”
Yang Fan was stunned and said in surprise: "Of course not, why was I exiled here?" ”
Snow Lotus looked left and right. The voice became quieter: "That...... You just made an accident in Luoyang and fled here? ”
Yang Fan suddenly realized when he heard this, in this era, there are very few people who travel far away from home, coupled with inconvenient transportation, it is even more rare that someone will travel thousands of miles to a foreign land. And Luoyang is the capital. He is a native of Luoyang, and he has no reason to leave the capital and go to other places.
When Xuelian's family left the capital, he had not yet made a career, in Xuelian's memory, he was still a small workshop in the Xiuwen Workshop, how could he have the ability to travel thousands of miles to appear here, since he was not exiled here as a prisoner, then he could only commit a crime and escape from the capital.
Yang Fan's heart flashed. He replied, "Yes." Miss Snow Lotus is still so smart. I...... It was indeed an escape. You know the noodle girl, right? What, you don't know? The noodle girl is the girl who sells noodle soup at the entrance of the second song lane of our Xiuwenfang Cross Street.
One day she was selling noodles at the entrance of the alley. was seen by a rich kid, the rich man coveted her beauty, so he did something to her, you also know that I like to fight the most uneven, I beat the villain down with three punches and two kicks, and accidentally spilled the soup pot, and the kid burned off a layer of skin. Now I'm in a big trouble, so I have to escape from the capital......"
Yang Fan made up a bunch of lies without blinking, and when he heard that the Snow Lotus girl admired and sympathized with him, he simply regarded him as a big hero.
When Miss Xun'er saw that her future sister-in-law was so affectionate with the handsome Han man, her eyes looked at him with some admiration, and her heart suddenly became alarmed, and she couldn't help but ask the old family, "Does this man know your young lady?" ”
The old family member was a domestic servant hired by Xuelian's family after they arrived here, he looked at Yang Fan, shook his head suspiciously, and said, "The old slave doesn't recognize this person. ”
When Xun'er heard this, she immediately threw off her two long thighs and walked over, walked between Yang Fan and Snow Lotus, puffed up her chest, tilted her chin, and said fiercely to Yang Fan: "Hey! What do you do? ”
Yang Fan and Xue Lian whispered, not far away, she inserted it in the middle, and the twin peaks that seemed too tall compared to her age were about to rub against Yang Fan, Yang Fan hurriedly took a step back and said, "Oh! Under is the old friend of the Snow Lotus girl in Beijing, and when she met here, she was very happy, I don't know who this girl is? ”
Xue Lian pulled on Xun'er's sleeve, made her bend down, and chattered close to her ear for a while, and then Miss Xun'er suddenly realized. Xue Lian smiled sweetly at Yang Fan and said, "Brother Yang, I am still young, and I can't be the master at home, so I can't promise to take you in." But since you don't have a place to go, you might as well come with me, my family has a vacant house to rent out. ”
Yang Fan hurriedly thanked him, and Miss Xun'er glared at him like a demonstrator, picked up the snow lotus, and whispered: "Silly girl, why do you get everyone home, I don't think he looks like a good person." ”
Yang Fan didn't hear it, so he listened to Xuelian explain in a low voice: "Sister Xun'er, you misunderstood, he is a good person, and this time he was arrested by the government because of his good deeds." After speaking, he turned his head and said, "Brother Yang, has the Xiuwen Workshop been okay in the past few years?" ”
Yang Fan led the horse to catch up and told her about some trivial things in the Xiuwen Workshop in the past few years, the Zhang family lost a sow, the Li family raised a grandson, and Xiao Qianyue, who lived under the big elm tree in the west of the Cross East Street, found his black-faced, big-mouthed, toothy-eyed daughter-in-law, and still had a baby in her belly......"
These Snow Lotus girls may not all know each other, but she still listens to them with relish, and through the girls told by Yang Fan, she recalls the bits and pieces of Xiuwenfang. Yang Fan casually picked up some anecdotes and told her about them, and asked her about the story after she moved out of the workshop, and the snow lotus girl sighed softly, and her face showed some sadness that was not commensurate with her age.
When Yang Mingsheng was appointed as Langzhong of the Criminal Department, he was the most effective cadre under Zhou Xing, and under Zhou Xing's instructions, he brewed a large number of unjust prisons, and I don't know how many people were ruined. Later, he died, but Zhou Xing was still there, and no one dared to do anything to the Yang family. But wait for Zhou Xing to die. The counterattack against the Yang family has begun.
Fortunately, Yang Mingsheng died early, Zhou Xing fell for the crime of treason, if Yang Mingsheng did not die, he would have to end up in a different place, the men in the family were cut off, and the women were assigned official slaves. Now that the death penalty is gone, the government has not pursued the orphans and widows of the Yang family.
Many of Zhou Xing's capable officials were dismissed from office. The family members either became slaves or were mated, and the Yang family was forgotten by these people who liquidated the remnants of Zhou Xing because Yang Mingsheng died early. But these people have forgotten, but those who have been persecuted by Yang Mingsheng have not forgotten.
Some people who have been persecuted by Yang Mingsheng are soft-hearted, thinking that Yang Mingsheng has suffered retribution. There are only orphans and widows left in the Yang family, and the sin is not as good as the family, but some people don't think so, they were ruined by Yang Mingsheng's family, and their parents, wives and children have a deep blood feud, how can they give up, Yang Mingsheng is dead, and his wife and daughter are still there. Then this feud will not be counted.
Some people just went to Yang's house to pick quarrels and provoke troubles to vent their anger. Some people used their remaining connections and connections in the officialdom to try to pull the Yang family into Zhou Xing's rebellion. The Yang family gave gifts to the people of Yushitai several times, almost emptied the family, and it was still inevitable to threaten, so they had to flee back to their hometown in a hurry. Yang Mingsheng is a native of Shu, and his hometown is in Netzhou, Jiannan Province.
The Yang family's property had already burned in that fire, and with the addition of gifts to eliminate the disaster, there was no money left. Xuelian's maternal grandfather was a wealthy businessman, and it was easy to give his daughter and granddaughter a mouthful of food, but since they had to go back to their hometown with their husband's family, it was impossible for them to provide much more support.
Xuelian's mother's dowry was also burned in that fire, and when she first arrived in Jiannan, her life was very difficult. Fortunately, her cousin was a seed of infatuation, and actually followed her all the way to Netzhou, the Yang family was in ruins, and no one paid attention to the life of Xuelian's mother and daughter, she didn't interfere if she wanted to get married, and the two became husband and wife, and did business in Netzhou, and after a few years, they also had some savings.
In fact, Xuelian's stepfather is really her biological father, and after Xuelian's mother explained the truth to her, there was not much estrangement between father and daughter. After all, Yang Mingsheng suspected that his daughter was not his own, and he was not good to her at all, and the two could not talk about the deep father-daughter relationship.
Some of the Yang family's goods were bought from the Baiman tribe where Miss Xun'er belonged, and after coming and going, coupled with her father's intention to tie up, she formed a friendship with the leader of the tribe, Xunqi. Later, Xuelian's father was more interested in marrying his daughter to Kaoru Jinjia, the youngest son of Kaoru Period.
Xun Qi saw Snow Lotus and liked this little girl very much, so he agreed, and the two families became in-laws. Miss Xun'er is the youngest daughter of the tribal chief, she has always been very fond of her, I heard that her little brother has a mother, and when her father came to Netzhou for the second time, she clamored to come and see, and Xuelian hit it off at first sight and became friends.
Yang Fan didn't expect that in the past few years, Xuelian's family has also undergone earth-shaking changes, and he can't help but sigh. When Xuelian left Luoyang, there was still little to do, and after arriving here, she was affected by the local folk customs, and became hearty and outspoken, not like Luoyang women who hide the ugly things at home, because they are very frank about the experience of the past few years.
Yang Fan heard that Xuelian was not Yang Mingsheng's biological daughter, and the guilt in his heart went a little, and he heard that if Yang Mingsheng was not killed, the fate of Xuelian's mother and daughter would be ten times more miserable than today, so he felt a little more relieved.
The two talked all the way, and Miss Xun'er kept staring at Yang Fan vigilantly.
When she arrived at Yang's house, Xue Lian said: "Brother Yang, the government here is not in charge of things at all, even if someone knows that you are a fugitive, the official is too lazy to care, there are many fugitives here, you can rest assured to live here, I will help you arrange a place to live first......
Before Xue Lian could speak, Xun'er took her hand and said to the old family: "You arrange a place for this person to live, remember to ask him for the house money first, lest he leave without saying goodbye." ”
Xun'er said, pulled Xue Lian and left, her voice was small enough for Yang Fan to hear: "Xue Lian, you have to be careful with this kind of person, there are some scumbags who deceive acquaintances, don't blame me for not reminding you......"
