005 It's not easy to go home, and you have different hearts
He Bi woke up from the bumps, and his eyes were a small closed space, and his heart jumped violently: "Wu You! ”
"You're finally awake!"
A pair of warm little hands covered the back of her hand, and the warm touch calmed Hebi's heart.
"Wu You, where are we?" He Bi held Wu You's hand with her backhand, and involuntarily exerted force, she still remembers last night's nightmare.
Wu You comforted her and said, "Don't worry, we're on our way back to Heping Village." ”
Peace Village! Hearing these three words, a warm current surged up in Hebi's heart. Although it was not a rich place, it could even be said to be a barren place, but it was her roots.
"Mama Gui turned out to be a female official in the palace, and because she went home to worship her ancestors, she encountered thieves, so she had to hide in the mountains and wait for rescue. The man who had come to look for her had arrived last night, and she had followed her back to the palace this morning. Before leaving, he sent someone to escort us to the Peace Village. ”
Hearing the crisp sound of the leather whip breaking through the air and the sound of horses' hooves outside, Hebi's heart was still fluttering, unbelievable, they saved a nobleman? And sent them home?
In the middle of the sound, He Bicai said: "God bless!" No wonder she talks extraordinary, her temperament is revealed in her bones, and she is actually a high-grade female official. Then He Bixiang thought of something, and his face was half worried: "Although we saved her life, we shouldn't expect too much... Thou shalt not mention to her the things that are in the house. ”
Wu You couldn't help but admire Mrs. Wu's vision again, although Hebi was very arrogant, he was very measured. Wu You said: "Mama Gui is an understanding person, she didn't ask me about my identity. ”
"We are really lucky, we go out to meet a nobleman, not to mention whether Mama Gui will arrange it later, this favor is already rare." If Wu You can change her household registration and identity in the future, Mama Gui may be a good source, after all, she can't live as a man for the rest of her life.
Embarking on the road home, Hebi was in a good mood, and the pain in her body seemed to be relieved a lot. It wasn't until he took the medicine again that He Bi found that the injuries on his body were indeed much better, and the originally cracked flesh had scabbed slightly at this time.
"My injury is no longer serious, so don't apply this medicine." Seeing Wu You pour out the crystal ointment from the small bottle that was worth a lot of money, He Bi felt distressed for a while. This is given by the son of the world, and it is definitely a rare good medicine.
How could Wu You not know Hebi's thoughts, she deliberately poured another hand of heart medicine, and smeared it thickly on Hebi's body: "Medicine has an expiration date, if you don't use it in time, the effect of the medicine will get worse and worse, and it may become poison after a long time." Besides, it's no better for us to be safe than anything else, so why keep it. ”
He Biyin is Wu You's personal big girl, who has been exposed to some medicinal materials all the year round, and also knows that some medicines can't be left for a long time, so he rested his mind and applied medicine with peace of mind. When she returns home in a few days, she can't let her family see her sick. It's just that the whip marks on this body are so deep that it will be difficult to remove them in the future... In the end, it is a nineteen-year-old green girl, where can she not care about her appearance and body.
"Sister Hebi, Mama Gui said, there is a kind of Yulu scar removal cream in the capital, which can beautify the skin and nourish the skin, she will help us find a few boxes, and you will not leave scars on your body, I promise!" Wu You gently stroked Hebi's scars, which were the humiliation of her incompetence, whipping her to become stronger.
He Bi stared at Wu You, only to see that her face was as quiet as water, but her eyes were shining. Wu You seems to have changed something.
After several days of hurrying, the carriage shook into the village of peace, and after a little half an hour, the car gradually slowed down, only to hear the sound of "hoo-" outside, and the car stopped completely.
"We're here." Outside, the slightly tired voices of the guards were heard.
He Bi pressed the excitement in his heart, touched the originally combed hair again, held down the wheel, borrowed slightly, and his dexterous body fell to the ground. "Thank you to the two eldest brothers for escorting them in the past few days, our brothers have nothing to repay, just a little respect and hope that the two eldest brothers will laugh." He Bi said with a smile, and the silver ticket in his hand was delivered to the two without a trace.
Wu You also stepped on the wooden stool that had been placed and got out of the car.
The two guards didn't postpone it, but just said, "Little brother is polite." "They were originally the guards of Prince Rui's son, Wu You and He Bi were self-aware, and they never dared to call those two, and they were safe along the way.
"If it's late today, why don't the two eldest brothers have dinner in the cold house, stay for a while and then set off?" and Bi Dao.
"No need, we have to go back to our lives, it's inconvenient to stay for a long time, so say goodbye." Shi Ziye's side is even more worrying, if it is because of their stopping, then what happened to the golden noble eggs, they are not enough to cut off ten or eight heads.
Wu You and He Bi didn't stay much and watched them leave.
"The people arranged by the nobles in this palace are efficient, if it is the coachman we find ourselves, I am afraid that it will not be possible to arrive in eight days, and they only took half the time." After He Bi finished speaking, she looked back at the strange big house in front of her, hesitated for a while, and for some reason, she didn't dare to take a step.
"Are you homesick?" Wu You looked at the big house in front of him, painted with new paint, which was very abrupt compared to the surrounding mud houses, and looked magnificent but with the atmosphere of an upstart. The heavy wooden door was shut, as if coldly refusing to approach.
Now that it was nearly dusk, the laborers of the village had returned home one after another, coming and going, and seeing two unfamiliar faces from outside the village, they took two more looks.
"Nothing, it's just... This is the first time I've come back after 11 years away from home, and I didn't expect it to change so much, so I was a little surprised. Having said that, He Bi still combed the clothes on his body neatly, and helped Wu You tie up a few strands of scattered sideburns, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The answer came to an old man over fifty a year, his face was full of wrinkles, his hands were thick and black, and he was wearing a gray dress.
"Who are you, who are you looking for?" The old man asked in a hoarse voice.
"May I ask who this is?" When Hebi saw this unfamiliar face, he also felt a little uncertain in his heart.
"yes." These two men must have come from a foreign land. No one in this radius does not know the He family, the eldest man of the He family married an old girl from a wealthy merchant in the town, and in just a few years, he made a fortune and built a big house.
"I'm looking for He Chengwang." Hebi finally tested it with his brother's name.
"Oh, you're looking for Dalang, who are you?" The old man was amazed in his heart, although He Dalang married a rich wife, this wife is a Hedong lion, very fierce, so many years to see Dalang tightly, not to mention drinking and visiting the kiln, even if he goes home late, he will be given a good training, so no one comes to visit on weekdays.
"You tell him that He Daniu is here."
The old man's eyes widened at this time, and he looked at He Bi carefully, his skin was delicate, his facial features were delicate, and he turned out to be a daughter's family. Then the child next to her is not the illegitimate son of Da Lang?!
"Wait, I'll report to you." Smelling the strong smell of gossip, the old man moved nimbly and trotted into the back room.
He smiled at Wu You, sure enough, it was a matter of fact, and after such a long time, if you want to enter your own house, you have to go through a notification.
Wu You clenched her hand, gave her a relieved smile, and felt heartwarming with Bitun.
"Old lady, ma'am, there is a big matter! Event! The old man's hoarse voice was like a duck pinching his throat, piercing and rattling, and it gave people a headache.
"Old man Niu, what's wrong with you, you were beaten and robbed? Madame and old lady are talking, why don't you have any rules at all! "The one who made the coquettish voice was a young girl about seventeen years old, her facial features were mediocre, and her skin was coarse and dark, and she was the dowry maid of He Chengwang's wife Lin, and she had a bit of face in this house.
"Ouch, Aunt Guihua, I'm sorry for you to help me report, there's a girl looking for Dalang outside!" The old man remembered that he had a girl's hair combed on his head, and it should be called that right.
"What girl? You're dazzled! "Gui Hua has only been married into this mansion with the Lin family for seven years, so she naturally knows her aunt's temperament, let alone a girl, and the female mosquitoes dare not approach.
This old man Niu is not boring, so he said in a relaxed tone: "You, help me inform the old lady, saying that He Daniu is back, and it will be at the door of our house." ”
"When people are old, they become gods and gods." Gui Hua muttered a few words, but still went to the door to report. Looking at the old man's anxious expression, he may not be able to tell what important person he is.
In the inner room, an old lady of about fifty years old was half-lying on the Luohan chair, and beside her was a woman of about thirty years old, wearing a water-red satin embroidered beaded silk pleated skirt, gilt earrings hanging from her ears, long chains, and big pendants.
The old lady smiled at the corners of her lips as she listened to her daughter-in-law boast about the anecdote of her visit to her parents' home.
This daughter-in-law, although she looks a little unsatisfactory and is older, is capable. and her cowardly son complements her, no, in recent years, the days have become more and more prosperous, and the youngest daughter's marriage and daughter-in-law are also properly covered, so the old lady is a little in awe of this daughter-in-law.
"If you want to say that my nephew, this time I won Xiucai in the autumn season, and the master was about to recommend him to Beijing to study..."Lin was talking eloquently, when she was suddenly interrupted by a sound outside the door, she raised her thick eyebrows with some displeasure, and said sharply: "What is the noise outside." ”
"Greetings to the old lady, ma'am." Gui Hua Shi Ran entered the house and saluted in a proper manner. This Lin family was originally born as a businessman, and since he made a fortune, he has imitated the official family everywhere and has been extremely harsh on his subordinates.
Gui Hua's respectful attitude made Lin's face look better: "What's the matter." ”
"Just now, the old man Niu came to report, and a person named He Daniu was waiting at the gate."
"What?!" The old lady who pretended to be lazy sat up from the Luohan chair at once, and her loud voice startled Lin.
"Mother, who is this big girl?" As soon as Lin saw that the old lady's expression was wrong, he immediately automatically made up a large number of plots, could it be He Chengwang's house...
"Quick, bring her in first... Well, no, take the side hall, my wife and I will go over later. The old lady instructed Gui Hua, and then said a few words to the Lin family.
"Mother, you are so confused, why don't you say anything to me about such a big thing, how can I accept such a big sister-in-law suddenly appear!" The Lin family, who understood the cause and effect, suddenly stood up, had no grace at all, and raised his eyebrows at the old lady.
The old lady was glared at by her like this, and couldn't help but shrink, and said: "When Da Lang's father died, our orphans and widows were indeed desperate, because we heard that the noble man was going to work in other places after buying someone, so we sold the big girl ruthlessly, and we only didn't have this daughter." ”
Lin sneered in his heart, if he really didn't have this daughter, and the things sent were unceremoniously accepted, this old woman really thought she was blind and deaf, and there were a lot of things sent by the big girl over the years, but she was not shallow-eyed, and she didn't want to find out with this old woman, anyway, after a hundred years, the old woman would not all belong to hers.
"Now that she's back, it's hard not to see each other. Or the noble man was kind and let her out, so many years have passed since this matter, and when the time comes, we will find her a good family and marry far away, which will be considered our mother-daughter relationship. The old lady didn't look at Lin's expression, and said to herself.
Phew, that's a nice thing to say, it's not her who is the one who is the last one. If the master is gracious and released, how many masters will give some silver. But if she is kicked out by the master's family, she must be of bad character, and she will have to drag her to pay a dowry.
"That's it, let's go see the situation first." Seeing that the old lady was still babbling, Lin waved his hand irritably and walked out of the door. The old lady followed closely with an aggrieved expression.
At that time, Gui Hua introduced Hebi and Wu You, who had been waiting outside for a while, into the courtyard.
"This house looks magnificent, our grandmother referred to the pattern in the capital, invited someone to come and build, this stone does not look eye-catching, but it cost a lot of money..."
Listening to Gui Hua's undisguised show-off, Wu You and He Bi only smiled.
He has the money to transport stones all the way to decorate, but he has no money to redeem his relatives. They call slaves and maidservants in this house, but they completely forget that their relatives are also called by slaves and maids. Wu You's heart was slightly cold, she didn't see him, but she also knew a little about the character of the family.
It's just that... She peeked at Hebi's expression, although she was smiling, she was a little lost, thinking that she was also an understanding person, but she just didn't want to burst her illusions.
"You wait here for a while, our wife and old lady will come over soon." Gui Hua took the two of them to the side hall, and left without serving tea.
He Bi stirred her hands, and her eyes turned to the door from time to time, this situation was too far from her imaginary home, and she was a little apprehensive for a while.
Not long after, two people came in like a gust of wind outside the door, and the rich fragrance choked Wu You almost coughed.
Seeing that Hebi was wearing men's clothes and had a little boy by his side, Lin's heart was cold.
"Mother, my daughter is not filial..."Hebi took a step forward, suddenly knelt on his knees, and kowtowed respectfully to the old lady.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's all a family, how can you be divided." The old lady didn't seem to recognize Hebi, and was stunned for a moment, then pulled a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and wiped the tears that didn't exist in the corners of her eyes.
Seeing that the mother and daughter were in deep love, Lin had no time to take care of her, and turned his gaze a little dazedly.
"Oh, this little boy, he looks so real... Beautiful, I've lived so long, and I've never seen someone so peugeot! Lin stepped forward, just as he wanted to take her hand and take a closer look.
Wu You took a step back without a trace, and gave a graceful salute: "Wu You has seen his wife." ”
This sound is round and jade, moisturizing things silently, like a spring breeze and drizzle, which makes people intoxicated. Lin only felt like drinking ice water on dog days, and he was extremely happy. This little man is so graceful before he grows up, and if he grows up, he won't...
"Mother, who is this?" When He Bi heard Wu You's voice, he woke up from the joy and sorrow, got up and helped the old lady and asked.
"This is the eldest sister-in-law, this temperament is really rare." Although He Bi was dressed indecently, Lin still raised a smile and said politely.
"My sister-in-law has won the prize." He Bi arched his hand and took Wu You affectionately in front of him. "This is the nephew of my sister in the same house, because the sister went to another place some time ago, and the child came to take refuge but did not meet him, so he temporarily followed me. I came back this time because of the grace of my wife and let me go out of the house. When my father's death day was over, I took him away. ”
"Ouch, poor thing, come on, come on, such a lovely baby, I can't ask for how long I live in my house." Lin took Wu You's hand and rubbed it carefully, this face is marked, and the little hands are as tender as milk, which is really lovely. Although Lin is ugly, he likes beautiful things, and he mainly liked his skin when he fell in love with He Dalang.
Wu You cast a hidden glance at He Bi a little unnaturally, but found that He Bi was smiling stupidly, and he was enthusiastic about his family, and the previous mustard had long been eliminated.
Hey, you can only take one step at a time.
