Chapter 10 Fate Ends Up
The east wind blew through the long street, swaying the lanterns in front of the Zhuangfu, reflecting the people returning home, the people waiting, and the people watching the play.
As soon as the janitor saw that it was Zhuang Lin, he hurriedly opened the door. As soon as Mama Xu, who was waiting for Mrs. Zhuang, heard that the young master was back, she hurriedly came out with a lantern to greet her, and the whole mansion was lit and cooked, bustling for fear that the little young master of the five generations of single transmission was hungry and cold.
"Mama Xu, is my mother asleep?" Zhuang Lin asked with some apprehension, if he sleeps, the kid can't sleep outside the nest for the night?
Mama Xu looked at the baby young master with a smile and said with relief: "Not yet, Mrs. has been unwell for the past few days, and she can't sleep at night, and she is still sitting in the room." ”
Zhuang Lin really didn't expect that after his mother knew the news of Yan's annihilation, she would become unthinkable and depressed. My father saw the pain in his eyes, but because he didn't have the ability to coax his wife, he was suffering from the white eyes of his mother these days, so he hurriedly sent a letter to the foot of Tianji Mountain, calling him home to comfort his mother's pain of losing relatives and friends.
When Zhuang Lin knew that the person he met by chance was Yihuai, he was overjoyed at first, but when he thought about how the children of the Yan family who were far away in the south of the Yangtze River came to Shengjing City, which was thousands of miles away, he was covered with filth and couldn't see his face clearly, and many problems made him hesitate.
Before he reached the courtyard, he heard the maid's worried voice: "Madam, the night is windy, let's close the doors and windows!" Then the voice that was unfamiliar to Zhuang Lin said with a crying voice:
"Shut it down! I just want them all on! So that Shaolan can come to me with Twilight! ”
Hearing the angry voice of the former mother, it has become so miserable, how can you not feel distressed as a son! Zhuang Lin hurriedly quickened his pace, walked into Song Qi's room, and said happily: "Mother, the child is back!" ”
Song Qi, who was sitting on the chair and was sad, glanced at the visitor, it turned out to be his son who had not seen him for half a year, but he had no joy at all at this time: "What are you doing when you come back?" The old gentleman expelled you from the school? ”
Hearing Song Qi's merciless words, Zhuang Lin smiled and his cheeks suddenly froze in the air, and sat next to her helplessly: "How come!" The child saw that his mother was not in good spirits recently, so he specially came down the mountain to accompany you! ”
"No, you don't!" Song Qi snorted, picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears again, she only wanted to see Shaolan and Twilight now, and no one else wanted to see her, including the two men in the family!
Zhuang Lin saw that the mother, who was usually spicy and strong, had become so fragile, so he hurriedly moved out the child who appeared on the side of the road, and said: "This time not only the child came back, but also brought a person, this person!" My mother must want to see it! ”
"!" Song Qi sniffled fiercely and said with teary eyes: "I don't want to see anyone now!" Don't come to me even if you're alive! ”
Zhuang Lin scratched his head in embarrassment, and suddenly remembered what the child asked him to bring, so he said smartly: "That person wants me to tell you that the swallowtail butterfly is coming to you!" ”
"Woooooooooooo It's the swallowtail ......" Song Qi thought of Mu Shaolan as soon as she heard "swallowtail phoenix butterfly", and her tears flowed even more fiercely, big tears fell on the table, and she was crying so much that her brain was already confused, and she suddenly felt that a thunderbolt had hit her!
"What! What did you say! I saw her stand up excitedly, and shouted loudly as if she had used a lion's roar.
The maids next to them were all stunned by the battle of the lady, and Zhuang Lin was also shocked by the thunderous shouts of his mother, and replied sluggishly: "The swallowtail phoenix butterfly is coming to you!" ”
"Where is she? Where is she! Song Qi grabbed Zhuang Lin's clothes, his eyes widened, and his expression roared excitedly.
Xu is voice was too shocking, even Master Zhuang, who was sleeping in the study next to him, was woken up, and he was startled, and he hurriedly put on his robe and rushed over, only to see that his wife was so delirious that she was going to beat the child!
"Madam, if you have something to say, don't be angry with the child!" Zhuang Hao shouted anxiously, watching Zhuang Lin being yelled at by his wife, although this child is unlearned, illiterate, and literate, it is simply insulting his reputation as a bachelor of Hanlin, but after all, he is his own flesh and blood, and the five generations of the Zhuang family have passed it on!
Zhuang Lin hadn't been roared by his mother's lion roar for a long time, and his tongue was so frightened that he could only say tremblingly: "It's at the door!" ”
"Doorway!" As soon as Song Qi heard it, he didn't care what kind of children and officials, so he threw off the big and small surnamed Zhuang and ran straight to the gate.
"Madame! Madam! Lord Zhuang looked at the lady who ran to the door like the wind, and then looked at the son who was frightened in the room, and still spread his legs to chase Song Qi.
Standing quietly at the door, Yan Duan, who didn't know that the mansion had become a mess, looked at the black-clothed guard behind him with some doubts, just now Zhuang Lin clearly said that he was his guard, why didn't he follow into the mansion?
Ying Yi felt the other party's gaze, of course he knew what Yan Du was confused about, this kid was young but sharp-minded, and his appearance was weak, but he could come to Shengjing from Jiangnan alone, he was really a strange person!
If the prince knew about this, he would be surprised repeatedly......
Yan Du looked at him without squinting, staring straight at the door, as if he was expecting something.
Bang! The door was opened suddenly, Yan Du immediately turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked at it, it was a tearful woman, I saw that she was wearing a plain white robe, and she pulled a simple bun at will, her eyebrows were elegant, as bright as the autumn moon, and she was a little similar to that Zhuang Lin......
Song Qi!
The drum rang three times, and the wooden door opened! She dodged the sword of the assassin, the fire that extinguished the door, survived in the den of human traffickers who did not see the light of day, gritted her teeth and walked to this Shengjing, and finally met her mother's old friend.
To be honest, she didn't think about it countless times along the way, if she went to Shengjing after all the hard work, but Song Qi ignored herself completely, then what should she do, continue to live a wandering without tomorrow?
But the moment she saw Song Qi, those worries, those distresses, and those worries all dissipated in an instant with those worried, joyful, and heartbroken eyes.
"Song, Mrs. Zhuang......" As soon as Yan Duan spoke, he was hugged by a warm hug.
"Twilight! You're Twilight! Unable to hear the sadness and ecstasy in Song Qi's voice, Yan Du only felt that she had not been hugged like this for a long time, and those who would hug her had been buried in the fire!
The irrepressible emotions poured out wave after wave like a wave, the warmth and sourness that were infinitely amplified, the terrible and the warmth of the present moment witnessed along the way, all kinds of emotions converged into a river of tears, and surged out of the eyes in an instant!
"I, I'm Yandu!"
——
At seven o'clock, every household in Shengjing City is cultivating and recuperating, but this village is as lively as a festival, the kitchen heard that the young master was back, ready to cook a few home-cooked dishes, but it was said that the lady who did not think about tea and rice before and did not eat rice arrogantly ordered ten dishes and one soup, what bird's nest porridge, steamed abalone, all brought in, frightened the cooks in a hurry, and the whole kitchen stove was thriving.
Song Qi happily returned to the room with Yan Dui, sent away the two innocuous men in the family, closed the doors and windows, and left Mama Xu, who knew the roots, by her side.
Mama Xu was carefully cleaning and bandaging Yan Dui's wounds, and Song Qi looked at the injuries on the child's body with heartache, and tears poured out again: "Twilight, this journey is very hard!" ”
Yan Du looked at Song Qi, who was completely different from her mother's gentle temperament in front of her, and her eyes fluttered: "Mrs. Zhuang, how do you know that my nickname is Twilight?" "There is no one else in the world who calls herself by her nickname except her father and mother, does she also know that she is not a man?!
Song Qi wiped the tears from his eyes, and said to those black and white eyes: "Your mother has written to me a long time ago to tell me that she gave birth to a big fat daughter!" But he has to pretend to be a man, and he calls Yan Yihuai, and when his daughter is a man, he calls Yan Twilight, nicknamed Twilight. ”
Yan Du nodded, she knew that her mother often exchanged letters with Song Qi, but she didn't know that the relationship was so close that she could even tell her identity.
Song Qi looked at Yan Dui's rather distant expression, they were still unfamiliar to the child:
Twilight, can you tell me how you got here?"
This way? Yan Dusk's watery eyes showed unconcealable sadness, and his thoughts drifted back to the starting point of everything-Yanfu, swallowed his saliva, took a long breath, and said slowly......
It was an encounter between warm and affectionate old people, but this was an embarrassing scene of a father and son staring at each other.
After experiencing the farce of his mother's parents, the frightened Zhuang Lin returned to his room, eating home-cooked dishes while telling the reason for the incident with Master Zhuang who was sitting opposite.
"So, that child is an orphan of the Yan family?" Master Zhuang, who was completely sleepy, took a sip of tea and took a deep breath.
Zhuang Lin nibbled on the chicken legs and chewed the meat in his mouth, like a hungry ghost, but he didn't forget to nod to his father's question.
"Son, dad asked you, how much did the prince's guard Yingyi hear?"
Eichi? Zhuang Lin frowned suspiciously, swallowed the chicken into his stomach violently, and said, "I heard it all!" Afraid of what? "He and the third junior brother are brothers who worship the master, what if they are heard by his guards?
"Alas!" Silly boy! Lord Zhuang sighed, the huge Yan clan was wiped out overnight, and Jiangnan Taishou couldn't find the slightest clue, how could this be! Some people have long speculated that the Yan family is rich and rivals the country, and the royal family is afraid of it, destroying its door and taking its wealth, and the entire court is forbidden to talk about it.
Although this British prince and his own children are both under the Tianji family, they are royal bloodlines after all, how do you know if there will be trouble......
The father and son of the dealer continued to stare wide-eyed, and the two masters and servants of Song Qi in the room had already listened to the encounter all the way to the twilight, and they couldn't cry!
Song Qi couldn't have imagined that the Yan bloodline of the golden branches and jade leaves had suffered so much, although Mama Xu had also lived a poor life, but after listening to Yan Duan's words, she was also heartbroken!
"Good job, kid!" Song Qi just wants to thank God at the moment for sending the child to him, and he is proud of Yan Duan's courage and resourcefulness when he encounters danger again and again!
It must be Shaolan's blessing that allows Twilight to come to the dealer's house to find her, and the responsibility of taking care of the children in the future will be entrusted to her own hands, and she must not be slumped, she must cheer up and raise the children well!
Song Qi stretched out her hand with relief, ready to touch the hardships all the way, all the way to the tenacious twilight, but saw the little child with low self-esteem and avoided her hand, a little embarrassed, a little shy and said: "Don't touch, I'm too dirty!" ”
Seeing this, Song Qi glanced at Mama Xu, then exhaled softly, and said gently: "Then eat first, eat enough, and then we will take a bath and wash away all the dirt along the way!" ”
Yan Du looked up gratefully, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice......
——
"When! While! While! Three watches, safe and sound! ”
The sound of the watch sounded in the quiet night, and Mrs. Zhuang's room was very lively, and the maids hurried in and out, alternating buckets of hot water and sewage.
Song Qi, who rolled up his sleeves and helped Yan Du clean his body with Mama Xu, looked at the child's white face carefully, as flawless as white jade, with big apricot eyes like stars, although the cherry lips lacked some blood, they were pretty, and the black hair that was thoroughly cleaned by hibiscus bath beans was as delicate as a waterfall.
"Your face is very much like your mother, Twilight must be a great beauty when she grows up!" Song Qi was pleased to wipe the water droplets on Yan Dui's body, and stroked the swallowtail phoenix butterfly pattern on his back, his heart was sore and painful.
However, there has never been a female doll in the huge Zhuang Mansion, and Mama Xu finally turned over the young master's previous clothes, put them on today, and rushed to Ming'er to call someone to cut a few new clothes for the young lady.
"Child, you can recover your daughter for the time being, live here first, the Zhuang Mansion is your own people, don't be afraid!" Song Qi was talking to Yan Du from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time took the clothes handed over by Mama Xu, and just as she was about to change Yan Dui, a sound of pushing the door quietly sounded!
Zhuang Lin looked at the smoke in the screen of the room, guessed that it should be the little guy taking a bath, and was very curious about what that dirty face looked like, so he tiptoed over to take a look.
A pair of thief eyes slowly and quietly poked in from the side of the screen, staring for a long time, and when the fog dissipated, a swallowtail butterfly appeared in the eye!
For a moment, Zhuang Lin felt that his breathing was a little stagnant, and the delicate wings of the butterfly seemed to be flapping, and suddenly flew into his heart.
The big black eyes roamed around the other party's jade white body steadily, and suddenly, a hot mist rushed from the nose to the whole face, and instantly dyed a red color!
What the! He, he's a woman?!
