Chapter 180: The First Home in the Capital
I don't know why, He Xingyao always felt that Chuyuan's parents seemed to be very unwelcoming to him and his sister, and they had been keeping a straight face, looking quite puzzled.
She looked at Chu Yuan, her mood at this time was not good, the two of them looked at each other, and they had their own careful thoughts in their hearts.
And He Muzhi didn't speak all the time, but he felt that it was often really prosperous, so lively, much more lively than the street market in Yuecheng, and at the same time much better than the order in Yuecheng.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Chu Yun suddenly stepped forward, pulled Chu Yuan, and glanced at his parents vigorously.
Next to him, there was a girl in an apricot yellow shirt, with dark hair and a shawl, and a hairpin simply inserted, her eyes were wandering around, and she happened to see a girl who was about the same age as herself, and her heart was suddenly overjoyed.
I saw her looking at the pair of parents in front of her, so she smiled and said: "Good father, good mother, the eldest brother has only brought three friends back now, you can accept Mr. Yan, why can't you accept these two girls?" The daughter thinks they look cute, and the daughter also heard that Yuecheng is a very beautiful place with simple folk customs, so the people who come out of that place are basically kind to the extreme, and they are also cute to the extreme, and the daughter believes that you must also like such people, why not be more tolerant? ”
He Xingyao originally thought that he and his sister were probably going to have a closed door, but he didn't expect that there would be such a lovely girl to speak for them, which is really rare and touching!
He Muzhi also felt that the woman in apricot yellow clothes in front of her didn't look very old, but she had quite an idea, and from those few words, this girl's behavior must be good.
Just when the two sisters were secretly sighing in their hearts, the girl glanced back at Chu Yuan again, and continued: "Brother, you are really, in such a hurry, it is really rude to let Daddy and Niang prepare nothing for these two girls, no wonder Daddy and Niang are so angry now." ”
Chu Yuan smiled awkwardly, but that expression looked extremely ugly, it was really worse than crying.
Just when everyone was at a stalemate, Master Chu's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn, and he directly looked at He Xingyao and He Muzhi with a smile and said: "The two guests came from afar, it was the little one who was reckless, and I hope the two girls will forgive me." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the first master bowed to He Xingyao and He Muzhi, and that attitude seemed to be respectful, not at all like he was pretending, but looked extraordinarily sincere.
He Muzhi hadn't recovered from the shock just now when he heard the first master and his wife say: "Madam, don't be too angry, now that our son has brought his friends back, we, as parents, should naturally treat our son's friends well, right?" ”
Mrs. Chu originally wanted to say something more, but looking at her eldest son's pleading eyes, he felt a little unbearable for a while, so he nodded and agreed.
In this way, after a stalemate for almost an hour, they led He Xingyao and He Muzhi and Mr. Yan, who had already been invited to their home, and everyone sat down together, went to the main hall to drink tea and chat, and waited for lunch by the way.
During the banquet, Chu Yuan introduced his family to He Xingyao one by one, and at the same time introduced the three good friends he brought back to his family.
I saw that the first master changed his previous indifference, and towards Sister He Xingyao, it was basically from the original politeness to the final respect, this change in attitude was very surprising, but at the same time, it was also very puzzling.
At this time, the first master looked at He Xingyao, and suddenly said: "Miss He, seeing that your sisters and my daughter are about the same age, young people should be able to play together, right?" ”
He Xingyao smiled and said: "Yes, we are all people of the same age, even if we are not very familiar with each other, we will definitely play together after a long time." ”
"Yes, I think back then, the emperor was as vigorous as you, but it's a pity that he was still trapped in that cage after all, even if he wanted to return to nature, he couldn't after all."
I don't know why, when the first master looked at He Xingyao, he inexplicably thought of the emperor of the year, and thought of himself who accompanied the holy car back then, and his mood couldn't be calmed down.
At this time, Chu Yuechen suddenly said to He Muzhi: "Second Miss He, I am eighteen years old this year, how old are you this year?" ”
He Muzhi said: "I'm as old as you, only one year younger than my sister, but my sister has always taken great care of me, and it seems that I am much younger than my sister." ”
When Chu Yuechen heard this, she suddenly "giggled" and laughed, and that expression looked quite funny, which made people feel in a good mood when they saw it.
After laughing enough, she looked at He Muzhi and said, "I didn't know that the second girl was able to tease her in front of her sister, which can be regarded as an ability!" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, He Muzhi's face changed slightly, but it was not angry, but shy and overwhelmed.
Chu Yuechen was really curious about the woman in front of her, but she was the same size as herself, how could she talk so cute?
But when she thought about it in her heart, she felt that it was nothing, after all, compared with the people in the capital, the people of Yuecheng naturally did not have so much red tape, and there would not be too many constraints, presumably this girl's life should be unrestrained and chic and free!
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but envy He Muzhi more and more, and she secretly glanced at it, her eldest brother and second brother seemed to appreciate He Muzhi's sister He Xingyao, and this He Xingyao looked at it, and it was indeed much more interesting than her sister.
Looking at He Xingyao and He Muzhi, Chu Yuechen suddenly had an idea in her heart, but there was her selfishness and well-intentioned calculation in this idea.
By chatting with He Muzhi, she felt that these two sisters must be particularly interesting, and compared with herself, they should have a wider range of knowledge, so she is not only envious, but also has some jealousy and other emotions mixed in it, I can't say it, but I feel that I am always not good like this, but she can't control it at all, so now I feel a little unsure of how to end.
After everyone had a preliminary understanding of each other, the first master and the first lady let them get along easily with young people with a smile on their faces.
As soon as the two elders left, Chu Yuechen stepped forward and said to He Xingyao: "Sister Xingyao, how did you meet my brother?" ”
He Xingyao smiled and said, "Guess! ”
Chu Yuechen said: "Don't guess, it's boring, you just tell me directly?" ”
Hearing this, He Xingyao felt bored for a while, so he didn't say anything anymore.
At this moment, Chu Yuan walked over, he looked at Chu Yuechen, and said with a calm face: "Yuechen, I see that you are too idle on weekdays." ”
Chu Yuechen was about to refute, but a maid suddenly walked over, I don't know what Chu Yuan's ear said, Chu Yuan's face instantly became extremely ugly, and then went out with a calm face.
Chu Yuechen felt that his brother was weird, but he couldn't say what was weird, which made people feel very confused.
He Xingyao saw the gloomy look on his face very carefully, and always felt that he was a little unhappy, so he planned to follow and take a look, but he was blocked by the maid.
Chu Yuechen looked at her and teased: "Yo, Sister Xingyao, I didn't see it, your concern for my eldest brother is really not there!" ”
He Xingyao scratched his hair embarrassedly, and then forcibly pulled his gaze back.
It's just that she can't help but not look at him, but she can't help but think about him anyway.
Sometimes people are always so contradictory, contradictory to self-righteousness, contradictory to invincible in the world.
On the other side, Chu Yuan, as soon as the maid said this, hurriedly walked out to catch up with his father, and then bowed respectfully to explain.
In fact, Chu Yuan has always felt very strange in his heart, after his father learned that he brought back the two girls, he has always been dissatisfied in his heart, and always felt that this is not a good sign, but when he saw He Xingyao and He Muzhi, his heart jumped, things turned out to be like this, he felt very strange, but at the same time he was shocked.
Yes, when the first master looked at the two girls of the He family, he always felt suspicious in his heart, and now that he saw it, if he confirmed the little speculation before the psychology.
He suddenly thought of the incident that happened many years ago, that was nineteen years ago, the emperor ordered to hunt down and kill the Wushuang clan of the previous dynasty, the Wushuang clan at that time, almost to the point that everyone was in danger, everyone was trying to protect themselves, but it didn't work at all.
The emperor was able to sit on the throne by virtue of ruthlessness, how could he let go of anyone who threatened him? Even if that person is his closest relative, even his wife, the person he loves the most, he can't escape death after all.
The first old man was very emotional in his heart, he actually saw the two girls of the He family for the first time, but from these two people, he saw the shadow of the emperor, the outline of one of the girls, as well as the expression and bearing, looked somewhat similar to the emperor.
Master Chu had always thought that the emperor would not be so ruthless and ruthless, but unfortunately all this was just his imagination after all, just like in this world, there is always light and darkness, even if it is a small thing, what is reflected behind this is also the two extremes of opposites.
As soon as he saw Chu Yuan, Master Chu's face instantly became very ugly, and he even said to his son: "Chu Yuan, you are now long-standing, right?" ”
Chu Yuan didn't know why his father said this, so he asked directly, "Daddy, what's wrong?" I heard from my second brother that you had always wanted me to come back, and now that I have come back with my friends, why do you have to say that? ”
Master Chu always felt that this matter was too serious, so he sighed, then looked at him and said: "Xiaoyuan, Daddy has always known that you have complained about me the most in your heart, but now that you have done something wrong in this matter, how can you bring those two girls back?" Do you understand the stakes behind this? ”
As soon as Chu Yuan heard this, he knew that his father wanted to use the same set in the officialdom, so he directly blocked it and said: "Dad, the child doesn't want to know what is at stake, I just know that it is my friend, whether you like it or not, their status in my heart will never change." ”
The first master looked at the second time and now spoke in a straightforward and orderly manner, although he was a little happy in his heart, but after all, he was still more worried.
After a long while, he struggled to speak: "Xiaoyuan, Daddy is now giving you a piece of advice, no matter what you think of these two girls from the He family, in my place, they will never be the daughters-in-law of our first family, you will die of this heart!" ”
After a pause, he continued, "Do you know the old things of nineteen years ago? Have you ever heard of White Noodles? ”
"White noodles? I know about this man, but Daddy, does this have anything to do with what you and I am talking about? ”
Master Chu nodded, looked at him helplessly and said: "Yes, it's been nineteen years, the child back then is now nineteen years old, she is back, the world is about to change color, the world is about to be recaptured, the emperor has occupied the magpie's nest for so many years, and it is time to get retribution." ”
Chu Yuan always felt that his father had become abnormal since he saw He Xingyao and He Muzhi, and what he said just now was really inexplicable, and it was completely unreasonable.
If the emperor is really so unreasonable, why did no one overthrow it?
Although Chu Yuan was reprimanded by the emperor, and even his parents were harsh on him, but he was quite understandable, but his father said that the emperor's words, but it was really a bit rebellious, he actually couldn't understand it, after all, he knew since he was a child that his father and the emperor were very good friends, and for many years, they had been taking care of each other, but now his father was saying bad things about the emperor, and he really couldn't understand it.
The first master was surprised when he saw him, so he said directly: "Child, the identities of those two girls are millions of times more noble than you, and even more noble than the current emperor, that's not something you can provoke at will, you know?" ”
Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "Dad, is this a lie you made up?" They're all good friends of mine now, why can't you tolerate them all the time? ”
The first master sighed: "It's not that I can't tolerate them, but in this world, justice will defeat evil, what means did the emperor use to sit on the throne back then, although you don't know, but I know it very well, child, after today, you can send those two girls away, our family really can't tolerate such a noble woman." ”
Chu Yuan felt that what he said was really in the clouds, and he didn't know it at all, but when he saw his father's face so solemn, he always felt sad and sad.
After a while, he said: "Daddy, I hope you are not just for yourself, these two and the girl are friends, and you will not abandon your friends easily, that is not the real way of a gentleman, so I will not listen to you." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Master Chu directly slapped him three times in the face, and the strength of each palm was very sufficient, making him stumble for a moment and almost stand unsteadily.
He looked at Master Chu with a surprised look, "Daddy, you actually beat me, why?" Why? Why? ”
"What, why? I've already told you that the status of those two girls is precious, and we can't provoke them at will, so why are you so disobedient to persuasion? ”
Chu Yuan looked at the vicissitudes of life in front of him, who was already over half a hundred years old, and the original clear world in his heart was suddenly attracted by this ordinary trivial matter.
But it's also a good feeling, everyone has everything they want to protect, and we all have to do our part to make the world a better place.
