Chapter 400: Arlene's Background
Arlene recuperated in the inn for half a month, and her body finally got better, and she could still practice her skills in the yard during the day.
The friendship between the two is increasing day by day, and Arlene occasionally has the illusion that his brother has not left him, and the Su brother in front of him is like his brother, taking care of him and loving him.
On this day, Yingyun specially bought a lotus leaf chicken, pulled the chicken leg to Arlene, and said, "You were sick a few days ago, so you can only eat light food." Today, I can finally make up for myself. ”
Arlene shirked: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my body recovers quickly, so I don't need tonics. Brother Su, you have been grabbing medicine and decoction for me these days, it is harder than me, so Brother Su, you should eat it. ”
Yingyun forced it into him and said, "Take it, it's all about people who practice martial arts, what are you grinding." You are a little child, it is the time to grow your body, I can't grow ten chicken legs, it's useless. ”
Arlene smiled, but she took the chicken leg and nibbled on it.
Yingyun tore the chicken and ate it, and asked, "By the way, you said that your father is from Fujian, but I heard why you don't have a Fujian accent." ”
Arlene paused on her hand and said, "Actually, I grew up in the capital. My father was a military general, and he was away for a long time, and Fujian was the last place he guarded. ”
"General?" Yingyun suddenly said: "No wonder I see that you are good, it turns out that you inherited your father's genes." ”
"What are genes?" Arlene asked, puzzled. Everyone
"Uh......" Yingyun prevaricated, "I mean, you're just as good as your father." ”
Arlene had a rare gentleness on her face, and said: "My brother and I depend on each other, my brother learns literature, I practice martial arts, we once said that we would take the imperial examination together, enter the officialdom, and be an official and serve the people like my father." ”
Yingyun asked again: "Since you live in the capital, why did you come to Jiangnan?" ”
Arlene was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, after my mother died, my father was worried that he would be away from home for many years and no one would take care of our brother, so he married another stepfamily. When my father was alive, my stepmother was polite to us, but after my father passed away, my stepmother beat and scolded us whenever she was unsatisfactory. If it weren't for the old butler to protect us, we would have been beaten to death. ”
Yingyun listened to his life experience, and her childhood was really bitter.
Arlene said: "The old butler said that if we want to get ahead, we must rely on ourselves. Only when you enter the official school of Xian'an Palace will you have a chance. But Xian'an Palace is not so easy to enter, it needs to be recommended by officials above the second rank in the DPRK, where my brother and I have a way, and my stepmother will not run for us. So, my brother and I came to Fujian together, my father has been in Fujian for more than ten years, and there are good high-ranking officials, and we have already got a letter of recommendation, but ...... On the way back to the capital, my brother ......"
Yingyun touched his head and comforted: "I see, I just thought, how can you be a little child." When you return to the capital and study hard, I believe that your brother will be relieved to be in the spirit of heaven. ”
The next day, the two set off for the capital, and on the way they heard that the emperor had also finished his southern tour, and the imperial driver was also on his way back to Beijing. However, Yingyun and the others walked on the Mindao mountain road, and although they had the same destination as the emperor, they had no chance to meet.
Along the way, Arlene really regarded Yingyun as a brother, although the road was far away, but the two talked and laughed, and they didn't feel tired of trekking through mountains and rivers.
Yingyun faintly felt that Arlene, a kid, should have a great future in the future.
