Qinshan Foreign Biography: Chapter 9, Entering the Mansion
Bogu County, Dutch Province.
When He Zhe rushed back to Hefu with Yuncang and Heyue, the night market in Bogu County began to have fun. But this time is not early for the two children. Yuncang, who was tired after a day's work, was sleepy, but the appearance of the little boy who was quite personable during the day was completely gone, and he fell asleep in a daze on his sister's lap. But He Yue didn't dare to lose her temper at this time, although Mrs. He knew nine days ago that He Zhe had accepted her as a righteous daughter, but it was difficult for her to say what kind of good face this stepmother would give her, although this father was really like his own child.
She had to hold on to her tiredness, and gently patted He Yuncang with her bare hand to make him sleep.
"Yue'er, are you tired?" On the carriage, He Zhe was still full of energy. Seeing that Heyue was not in good spirits, he asked with concern.
"Dad, I'm not tired. Actually, I'm still very happy today....... He Yue tried to drive away the tiredness and showed a smile, her eyes were like water, and her delicate face was reflected beautifully.
A few days ago, she was an inconspicuous girl on the shore of Wanxing Lake, working hard to keep her fed and clothed. But the arrival of the Father-in-law changed everything. And her father is really good to her, and she has such an interesting brother as Yuncang. Today, I even said the words of Master Sen Dao, although I don't know who passed the message for her. But this is the first time in her life that she has been praised by so many officials and scholars in front of so many people, how can she not be happy.
"Yue'er must still be happy to say something!" He Zhe thought with a smile, but he was haunted by a faint uneasiness in his heart, but he didn't know why.
How can such a young girl, only fifteen years old, and growing up in a peasant family, make such a statement? In fact, Ho Zhe has been thinking about this question all the way, but he has not been able to understand it—it is incredible.
He raised his head, just in time to meet He Yue's clear, somewhat flustered gaze.
Only then did he realize that he hadn't answered, he was a little out of shape, and was about to speak, but he heard Heyue's silver bell-like voice say, "Dad, actually...... Actually, Yue'er wants to say one thing......"
"No need. He Zhe saw that He Yue was about to speak and stopped, and he understood that she could see her own thoughts. While secretly sighing in her heart, the little girl was thoughtful, and she didn't want to be entangled in the matter of gossip anymore. After all, this is the child's first appearance, and it is not so bad as to cheat. simply didn't care, but it also gave her more confidence.
"Dad, that couplet is not from Yue'er!" He Yue looked at He Zhe and waved his hand, mistakenly thinking that he had seen the clue and disliked himself. I feel aggrieved in my heart, and I can't wait to confess immediately.
He Zhe was still in a heavy mood, but at this moment, his daughter was so honest and naïve that she said the words into couplets, and she was greatly relieved, and said to He Yue with a smile: "Oh, child, how can you say this? Don't worry, Dad won't blame you." In any case, the reputation of this world is built by means. ”
How did He Yue hear it more anxiously, she stopped patting Yuncang, clasped her hands together, and her voice was full of crying: "Dad, it's not what you think! Children will never cheat! No, no, no, I ...... No, I guess I've never thought of cheating, really!"
He Zhe couldn't help but laugh when he heard this-dare to love this, or is this the result of cheating?
"Listen to Yue'er! He Yue blinked wide-eyed and squeezed down the faint tears, she was too afraid to make a bad impression on her stepfather. Lianzhu said everything last night: "At that time, after you said Shanglian, Gao Li and Wang Bogongzi went to the right place, but they felt that they were extremely asymmetrical with Shanglian, so they laughed and retreated." At that time, Yue'er heard as if a voice was laughing in her head, and she laughed disdainfully......"
"Oh, would you describe that voice in detail?" said Hochul, swerving slightly as he shifted his body from the jolting carriage, his somewhat grim expression pale as the moonlight poured in from the small window. According to He Yue, someone may give her a thousand miles of voice, this is not a great power, as long as there is a little Taoism, it can be done. But the premise is that the two sides have to meet and get each other's voices. Second, there may be a Taoist power who dreamed in the Falling Wind Valley that day, and He Yue happened to enter the dream for a moment and received powerful guidance. But when I think about it, both guesses are almost impossible! He Yue has grown up on the shore of the Ten Thousand Shapes Lake since she was a child, and it is almost impossible to see even a casual cultivator. And if the latter is true, wouldn't it be too terrifying and coincidental! But if there is a third theory, even if it exists, it is definitely beyond the scope of Ho Zhe's current cognition.
As if sensing He Zhe's uneasiness, He Yue also moved slightly, put his hands on Yun Cang's shoulders, thought carefully, and replied: "That voice is very feminine, but when I hear it, it is a male voice, but it gives me a feeling that this is the true voice of that person......"
"And, the man's voice, first told me a word, as if it were—nine dreams, one dream is true?" I can't remember a little. Then the voice recounted my past, exactly accurately! I was tempted to ask who he was, but his voice was so dreamlike that it seemed to froze me, and I couldn't say a word. Thinking of this, He Yue's delicate face couldn't help but show a little grievance and fear, and Qiong's nose wrinkled slightly. After a while, as if it was short and as if it was long, he began to mumble the upper couplet of the couplet. This time it was really quite a long time, and he kept saying it. It seemed that a few hours had passed, and he suddenly screamed and roared out the next link. I, I repeated it as if I was in a dream. Then I woke up from the dream, and I saw myself standing in front of the master. ”
"Oh! I see, this is Master Sen Dao who sees that you have a lot of Taoist origins, and deliberately dreams with you, so that you can speak to you. ”
"Is that really the case, Daddy?" He Yue's face flushed with fear, and her heart was much more stable.
"Surely, don't be afraid. The master and his father are old friends, and I will ask him to teach you a few tricks another day! Do you see the bamboo forest in front of you? We will soon be home. He Zhe forced a smile on his face, and his voice was very unnatural. It was clear that Dawson had not done it, and that it was already a vision that he could not decipher. If you only hear sounds, then it must be sound transmission skills, but this sound has the same effect as nightmares, as if it has the ability to disturb time and space? Alas, how does the phrase "nine dreams are like illusions, one dream is true" feel familiar? He Zhe tried his best to search for his memory, but sometimes people are like this, but they are blank. It seems that he really wants to invite Dawson to sit down at the house and discuss the matter in detail. Looking at the innocent girl who had been pacified by him, He Zhe couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart: "It's only been a few days...... Yue'er, is it right or wrong for me to think you are my daughter?
In the dark alley, a rather large mansion stood quietly in the center, and two faint lanterns lit up in the doorway. The so-called Dutch Mansion is nothing more than removing the plaque of the Qian Mansion, replacing it with the word Dutch, and then replacing a group of housekeepers and cronies to move in, and redecorating a few rooms at most.
At the main gate of the Dutch Mansion, a young woman stood in front of two stone lions and looked eagerly, and could vaguely see the graceful lines.
At the end of the long alley, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the beautiful woman excitedly said to her personal servant Ah Fu: "That's the master is back." ”
Soon the carriage stopped, "But it can be regarded as coming back, the master is all right?Yun Cang is asleep?What about the girl?" the woman trotted to the carriage, and asked the horseman Huang Bo in a soft voice unhurriedly. It seems that he is not talking to a subordinate, but the other party is talking to him on an equal footing.
A faint candlelight in the carriage illuminated the beautiful woman's face, and the white and flawless nose on the little red cherry mouth was a pair of willow-like eyes. A pair of egret-shaped white gold pendants are worn on her plump earlobes, full of grace and luxury.
Huang Bo nodded, lowered his voice and replied: "I haven't spoken for a long time, I'm afraid that the master, son, and young lady are tired." Madam, wait a minute, the villain will go to call Lao Yan. He looked calm, and was obviously accustomed to the politeness of this beautiful woman.
"Danhe, I've been waiting for a long time. A strong voice came from inside the car, neither high nor low, just shattering the silence of the faint moonlight. He Zhe walked out of the carriage slowly, with a different kind of warmth on his face, which contained a lot - a little excitement, a little self-satisfaction, a little longing, and even a little childlike joy. Danhe, full name Shen Danhe. But he doesn't care about those etiquette, and there may never be any husband or the like in the Netherlands and Shen. As soon as she saw He Zhe, she immediately greeted him and hugged her fiercely: "Husband, the concubine misses you." He Zhe kissed her forehead dotingly, and said teasingly: "Do you really miss me so much?
Shen Danhe looked at him slightly: "Yes, yes, it's not you who thinks about it." I haven't seen you for ten days, and I have an extra daughter, who wants you to be a stinky man!" Looking at Taishan Kingdom, I'm afraid there is only one woman who dares to talk to her husband like this! But what she said was unintentional, but He Yue in the carriage was terrified when she heard it—this stepmother, she really still rejects herself!
He Zhe put his head on Shen Danhe's ear and said softly: "Heyue, that girl is still awake, don't let her hear it." In order to make a good impression on you and the people in the house, Yun Cang couldn't help but go to bed early, and she was still awake. I'm only fifteen!"
As soon as Shen Danhe's heart was hot when she heard this, she knew that her husband's plan would not be to fall in love with that courtesan and adopt her daughter to please her. It seems that this girl is indeed smart and clever, and there must be something different from ordinary people. She opened her lips and asked softly, "The child's name is Heyue?"
"Yes. I took the name of the word from the poem written by Master Morido. It is homophonic with the moon under the lotus field, implying that Yue'er should not forget her background and her heart. But I beg her to let go of whatever she encounters, and then turn it away. ”
"Good name, husband, let me meet her, let her see if my stepmother is in line with her heart!"
"Okay!" He Zhe smiled and whispered to the carriage: "Yue'er, come out to meet your mother!"
He Yue just wanted to get up, but helplessly found that the sleeping Yun Cang was still holding his Luo skirt tightly. It's not good to push away this laughing brother directly. couldn't help but smile bitterly, this time it was inevitable to leave a bad impression on the stepmother.
"Daddy...... Daddy, Yuncang is still sleeping on my lap. He Yue stammered. He Zhe smiled bitterly, he forgot this, the girl who was too sensible was afraid that she had been entangled for a long time. And Shen Danhe was rectum, and couldn't help but say angrily: "This child usually looks like a crepe, and when he dozes off, he has no etiquette, so lying on his sister like this, he should be punished!"
"Danhe, Yuncang is only nine years old......"
"Well, I'll go see our daughter!" Shen Danhe walked to the carriage, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a girl sitting there, dressed in a green Luo skirt and a green silk dress, very thin, but with good facial features and a delicate face. Under the candlelight, a white little boy was sleeping on the girl's lap, his hands still tightly hugging the girl's thigh. The fly in the ointment was that when the girl suddenly saw her, a panicked and embarrassed look fell on her face.
It seemed that after a long time, He Yue came back to her senses from Shen Danhe's prosperous beauty and her own panic, and called softly: "Mother?"
When Shen Danhe heard these two sincere words, it seemed to melt, and his beautiful face showed a look of great joy. It was as if I had heard the most beautiful praise and smelled the swan song in the sky.
"Well, I like this girl. ”
