Chapter 1 Xie Chang'an enters Beijing
The capital in January is much colder than Fujian, Xie Changan has always been afraid of the cold, and it took a lot of silver silk carbon on the hand stove along the way, Rao is like this, and he is still curled up in the thick fox skin cloak and does not move, for fear that a tricky cold wind will bite up.
Old Mrs. Xie sighed, a little worried: "How can it be good for you to stay in Beijing in the future?" It's a shame that I still let you practice martial arts since you were a child, and you didn't put it down while holding the hand stove along the way, how could you be so weak......
Xie Changan didn't answer, she came out of Fujian, she said no more than ten words along the way, each sentence was "cold, charcoal", she didn't show any emotion when her parents left her in the ancestral house for so many years and suddenly asked her to go back, she buried half of her face in the cloak, and she usually had no expression, she seemed to feel that it was very difficult to make expressions and speak, so Mrs. Xie couldn't see Xie Changan's thoughts, and she didn't know whether she was cold or cold.
"Girl, do you want to go back, or don't you want to?" Old Madam Xie had no choice but to ask her.
Xie Changan was silent for a long time before he spoke sullenly, and his voice still didn't fluctuate: "It doesn't make much difference whether you want to think or not, left and right...... If they want me to go, I have to go, and if they want me back, I have to go. ”
Mrs. Xie wanted to speak and stopped, and it took a long time for her to sigh again, thinking of what her son had asked her son in the letter, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak when she looked at Xie Changan again.
Their husband and wife left the young and sick Xie Changan in Fujian, and they haven't come to see it for ten years......
Xie Changan seemed to see Mrs. Xie's thoughts, and snuggled in Mrs. Xie's arms as if comforting: "I know that they must need me for something, so they will come to pick me up in such a hurry, grandmother rest assured, as long as it is not An'er's life, An'er endured it for them, and then we will go back to Fujian as usual and ignore them......"
"An'er!" Mrs. Xie was sad and angry, "You just look at you like that?" ”
Xie Changan smiled bitterly: "Grandmother, don't worry, An'er knows that you must have something to hide from me, for so many years, they have been accompanied by their eldest sister and eldest brother, I am just a superfluous, it is rare to think of sending someone to Fujian to look for me, and it must be nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace......"
Mrs. Xie opened her mouth, remembering what her son and daughter-in-law had instructed, but she still didn't say anything after all.
This Lin family is looking forward to it, and finally it is looking forward to it, a mighty fleet, according to the people who reported in advance, this is just some valuable cloth toys, Mrs. Xie's home decoration and home furnishings and the wood that Xie Chang'an has saved for dowry since he was a child is still behind, and he invited the dart bureau to escort him.
Lin's heart was secretly shocked, Mrs. Xie seemed to want to leave all her dowry to An'er, and she usually saved things for An'er, as far as An'er's dowry was more than twice as much as what she prepared for Ning'er, I was afraid that Ning'er, as a sister, would feel uncomfortable, thinking of this Lin was stunned, and then there was a bitterness in her heart, what was she thinking, her Ning'er people didn't know where it was, and she still cared about the dowry......
As soon as the wide carriage covered with blue curtains stopped, Lin hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Xie, but Mrs. Xie seemed to know, so she said in the carriage: "Mrs. Don't work to help." After the words fell, a tightly wrapped girl came out of the carriage, although she was dressed very bloated, her skills were very neat, and she didn't ask the girl to help, she jumped out of the carriage gently, and then stretched out her hand to Mrs. Xie and steadily picked up the old man.
After the two stood still, Lin carefully looked at his little daughter who had not seen him for ten years, Xie Changan was born with a pair of phoenix eyes, deep eye sockets, eyebrows flying into the sideburns, the bridge of the nose was high, and the hair did not comb the double bun of the ordinary little girl, but tied a high ponytail, only tied with a hairband with a black background woven with gold patterns, the shoulders were wide and the waist was thin. If the old lady of the Xie family is still alive, he will be very surprised to see Xie Changan's appearance, Xie Changan's temperament and facial features are very similar to the old lady Xie when she was young.
Lin looked at Xie Changan's face, at the beginning of seeing her daughter born with such spirit, Mrs. Xie raised her very well, and she was very pleased, but suddenly thought of something, and the more she looked at it, the more her heart sank...... Xie Chang'an and Xie Changning are not similar, Xie Changning is three points more beautiful than Xie Chang'an, as long as he has long eyes, it is impossible for him to admit his mistake......
That's a bad thing...... is clearly a mother and a sibling, how can he be born like this......
Mrs. Xie noticed that Lin's emotions were exposed, and she was a little dissatisfied, and coughed twice to wake Lin up from her thoughts, Lin glanced at Xie Chang'an, only to see Xie Chang'an holding back helplessly, looking straight at her, her eyes were full of stubbornness, as if she was stabbed by her attitude that she didn't seem to welcome herself......
Lin's heart was sour, and he stepped forward to pull Xie Changan, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say.
Mrs. Xie sighed, she couldn't stand the stalemate between the mother and daughter, who were only better than strangers, and only said, "If you have anything to say, let's go in first......
"Yes, Ancestor." Lin answered obediently, and Xie Changan hugged Mrs. Xie left and right.
When the maid Qingshuang came in with a basket of silver frost charcoal, her young lady was sure enough, and sat in a daze at the window wrapped tightly, it was snowing heavily, the young lady has lived in Fujian since she was a child, and she has never seen it, these days have been like this, sitting stupidly at the window looking at the snow scene outside, her face is expressionless, her eyes are dull, if it is not for Qingshuang serving her since childhood, it is difficult to see that she actually likes snow and is full of curiosity.
Qingshuang sighed, Miss's temperament, if she likes to say it, if she doesn't like it, she doesn't say it, so Mrs. doesn't know how to get close to her for a while, so she can only pull them to ask about Miss's preferences.
"Miss......" Qingshuang called softly, seeing that Xie Changan was still motionless and staring at the snow, she didn't even pay attention to calling her, she felt a little funny, and proposed, "If Miss likes it, why don't you go out for a walk?" My wife said that there are many red plums planted in the plum garden, and they are blooming just right, and I don't know how beautiful they are against the snow......
Xie Changan reacted a little, stretched out his hand and cautiously probed out the window, and immediately retracted and wrapped the already thick cotton jacket on his body even tighter......
Qingshuang was a little speechless, she had never seen anyone afraid of being cold and afraid of becoming like this, just because of her problem, Mrs. couldn't wait to pile all the silver frost charcoal in the treasury into the Zhuyi Courtyard, Rong Anhou also couldn't stand it, whenever she saw Xie Changan, she had to urge her to go out for a walk, for fear that she would be sick in the house.
Xie Chang'an seemed to be only looking at the snow, in fact, he had been immersed in his own thoughts, and Mrs. Xie had told her before dinner that her sister Xie Changning had eloped with Lin Qian, the most unpromising cousin of the Lin family, in order to escape her marriage with the king of Yanjun. Xie Changan was puzzled, she had heard of what kind of person Lin Qian was, but he was just a good wine and gambling gentleman, and she had never heard of any talent, how could she get Xie Changning's blue eyes? Xie Changning was born extremely beautiful, not to mention, the most famous is a piano song she composed "Yuntai tune", the score was presented to the queen as a birthday gift, the queen Dayue, Daoyuntai tune has a far-reaching artistic conception, far from the ordinary women's fat powder vulgar music comparable, praise Xie Changning's piano skills, can be called Ji Kang in the middle of the women. Xie Changning's attainments in the guqin were praised as comparable to Ji Kang, which was a very high praise, which made Xie Changning famous.
So how can Lin Qian make such a peerless pearl who has always been the stars hold the moon willing to give up everything and even elope with him with infamy? Could it be that this is the legendary ...... Long brain but no eyes?
Xie Changan couldn't understand the thoughts of the talented woman Xie Changning at all, maybe geniuses are all rebellious, so they seem more different from them laymen......
Xie Changan was thinking about it, when the big maid beside the Lin family came, saying that she was inviting the young lady to the old lady's room, and the lady and the Hou Ye were waiting for her.
Xie Changan paused for a moment, then reacted, after holding back for so many days, he finally had to say something.
Xie Changan rejected Qingshuang's proposal to change her clothes, she knew that Qingshuang thought she was dressed like a fat bear and walked ugly, but it was not interesting to care about these things in her own house, so be it.
Qingshuang had no choice but to follow Xie Chang'an's footsteps obediently, Xie Changan walked all the way, thinking all the way, they suddenly sent someone to pick her up and Mrs. Xie back to Beijing, although Mrs. Xie was afraid that she would resent her parents, only said that her parents missed her, she was old again, and it was good to go to the capital earlier to start looking at people, but she was clear in her heart, she had not been to Fujian to see her in ten years, although she had already agreed to come back at the age of thirteen, but it was not so that the first month had not passed and sent someone to pick her up, there must be something, Maybe it has something to do with Xie Changning, who eloped away from home.
I heard that Xie Changning has been engaged to the prince of Yanjun Wangfu, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and his brother has been working hard at the border for many years without being promoted.
Who would have thought that Xie Changning would be so willful that he would run away like this, leaving a mess......
Mess? Wait a minute! Xie Chang'an's footsteps paused, and his heart suddenly set off a storm, did they want Li Daitao to let him go and clean up the mess for Xie Changning's substitute marriage?
The more Xie Changan thought about it, the more he felt that there was this possibility, and he was sad and angry, and his emotions filled his chest, and the heavy pressure made her a little breathless.
"Miss?" Seeing that Xie Changan suddenly stopped, his face was pale, and his body was a little shaky, Qingshuang was a little worried, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie Changan, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Is it uncomfortable? ”
Xie Changan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine, let's go." With that, he pushed away Qingshuang's hand and strode towards the old lady's upper room, which seemed to be not afraid of the cold at this time.
No matter how cold the frost and snow outside is, it is not as cold as her heart at this time.
"At that time, I went back to my mother's house to ask for someone, who knew that Lin Qian's pickled things were not there, Lin San, who was dead, also said that he took his daughter-in-law and said to go to Linzhou to inspect the shop, my mother immediately sent someone to Linzhou to look for it, but the family came back and said that they couldn't even enter the gate of the other courtyard, Lin San sent someone to guard it, no matter how the family asked outside, it was a bite to say that he didn't know anything...... What good deeds did his own son do, could he not know? Lin said, tears falling from the corners of his eyes again.
