CHAPTER XXXV

The man outside said, "Come with me...... What kind of garment are you wearing? Quickly change to a more decent one. ”

Wen Fei still had that indifferent tone: "I only have clothes like this, besides, changing clothes will delay more work, so it's better to pass now." ”

He lifted the curtain and came in, and said to Aunt Yue, "Mother, then I'll go to the front." ”

Aunt Yue nodded: "Accompany the guests well, don't make your father unhappy." It's a good day—put on that new robe, and go again. ”

Wen Fei dusted his sleeves: "That's good, you don't have to change it." ”

He turned his head and I said, "Go ahead, we'll talk to Aunt Yue here." ”

He answered and went out with the third young master. Since they talked about their father, this third young master and Wen Fei should be half-brothers, but Aunt Yue can only call him the third young master, Wen Fei should not be in the Wen family's brother ranking...... It's easy to speculate.

Aunt Yue said apologetically: "Really, when he left, no one made our tea." There is a small kitchen at the back with a tea stove and water ......"

Wu Zhen stood up: "I'll go boil water, Wu Ning, you can talk to Aunt Yue." ”

She deliberately avoided it, and squeezed her eyes at me as she left, and it seemed that she would not come back until the water boiled for an hour.

As soon as Wu Zhen left, there were only two people left in the room, Aunt Yue and me, and she beckoned to me: "Wu Ning, you sit closer." ”

I moved the stool to the bed, then sat down again.

Aunt Yue looked at me carefully, asked me when I was born, and said with a slight smile: "What a good girl, when I was young, others always praised me, but I was not as beautiful and dignified as you at that time." Ling Zun must be an extraordinary character to raise his daughter so well. ”

If you praise myself, I must refuse. But when it comes to my father, I only humble one sentence, saying, "My father is a very knowledgeable man, but unfortunately I am stupid and have not learned anything." ”

Aunt Yue reached out and held my hand.

Her hands were thin, her skin had become squirming, and her grip had a slickness that had lost its health and vitality.

"Wu Ning, you're not practicing swords, are you?"

"It's not." I whispered, "I'm practicing illusion, it's a family tradition. ”

Aunt Yue was slightly surprised: "You are the Shanyang faction." It's still the San'in faction. ”

I was also surprised, most people don't even know what illusion is, and Aunt Yue lives in a deep house. Even if I know some, but I even know the difference between Sanyin and Sanyang, I feel confused.

"It's the San'in faction."

Aunt Yue's expression became solemn: "This is an extremely hard way - at your young age, how can your father be so ruthless?" ”

I hurriedly said, "I like it myself." I don't have much talent for swordsmanship, I thought to myself. You can't see it in your eyes. After watching it, I couldn't do it in my hands, so I barely learned a few moves, and I could only strengthen my body. But illusion, I always learned it so quickly that I even fell asleep at night and still thought about what I learned during the day. Even sometimes. I couldn't figure it out during the day, but when I woke up, I suddenly became enlightened. My father once said that I was born to eat this line of food. ”

Aunt Yue didn't say anything more. After a while, she whispered, "When I was a girl in my early years, I also met one or two people who practiced illusions...... but she didn't say anything more, just smiled: "I live here, you feel very strange, don't you?" ”

I'm really weird. But you can't say that.

"I haven't had a guest here in years, so I can't think of it. It was a beautiful little girl, and I was overjoyed. I like these gifts very much, they are much better than any money baby, and I have put a lot of thought into it. Why, I can't ask for a junior gift for nothing......"

She took out a small cloth bag from under the pillow and opened it, and inside was a wooden bracelet and a golden hairpin. The hairpin head is inlaid with pearls, round and flawless.

"The bracelet is for you, and the hairpin is for your sister...... You don't look alike, and your birthday is also a year? ”

"Wu Zhen, she was adopted by her father...... We grew up together, like sisters. ”

Aunt Yue nodded: "She also practices illusions?" But I think she and you ...... Not quite the same. ”

I was secretly frightened in my heart, Aunt Yue could even see this? Yes, although Wu Zhen is also taught by her father, she is not suitable for the path of the Sanyin faction, she pays more attention to art than heart.

This, people in the industry may not understand, but let Aunt Yue, the person who just met, see it.

I couldn't hide my surprise, Aunt Yue lowered her head and smiled: "Although I haven't practiced, I knew some people back then and heard about some." Later, I joined the Wen family, and I never saw outsiders, and I didn't know what was going on outside. By the way, the guest of the Yue family who came today, I don't know when Fei'er got acquainted with them. ”

I know this, and briefly said that we met the Yue family in Chiyuan yesterday: "I'm afraid it was the Yue girl yesterday, she mentioned it yesterday, and knew that the Wen family was doing a happy event today, so she came to the wedding banquet to see Wen Fei, probably by the way." ”

Aunt Yue nodded, didn't say anything, and said, "I live here, most people will find it strange, even Fei'er thinks that the Wen family is treating our mother and son harshly." Actually, I like it very much, Qingjing-Mrs. Wen once wanted to move me to Baiju Garden, but I refused to go. ”

Yes?

I thought it was the Wen family who drove her to live in this kind of subordinate room, didn't it?

"These old houses are the old mansions of the Wen family - the house in front of them is almost a hundred years old, but it is a new house, which was built by Fei'er's uncle and grandfather, the famous brocade swordsman Wen Jinzhuo, after he became famous. I live here and feel very grounded. When people get there, they can't forget the roots, right? ”

This is really surprising, but - people in the world always forget their roots. Although this is an old mansion, those who look at the Wen family are afraid that they have almost forgotten about this place.

Together, and the people here.

If you don't come to Yuejia today, then you can't remember Wen Fei's name, and Wen Fei's mother and son will not continue to be forgotten here?

No wonder the drama always says that infatuated women are thin and affectionate, I have only heard of women who have been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years, and I have never heard of any man who is so loyal.

There was a faint sound of firecrackers in the distance, probably a sedan chair entering the door.

Wu Zhen went to boil water and finally came back, and brought snacks, saying, "I don't know who put it in the kitchen, so I brought it together." ”

It was two stacks of pale green steamed cakes, although it was a little cold, and it smelled fresh with mung bean aroma.

"Most of them were brought by Xiao Jing in the morning." Aunt Yue smiled and said, "There is a happy event today, there must be a lot of wedding cakes and snacks in the house in front, there is only this one here, let's eat it." ”

The steamed cake was indeed printed with the auspicious words of "a hundred years of good harmony" and "God-given good fate", and the color was dark red. It's the first time I've seen the wedding cakes made here in Beijing, and it's really different from ours, and it's very exquisite.

When we were in the mountains, there were also people from nearby who sent wedding cakes, but there was only one big and cheesy word for happiness on it, and the things in the countryside could not be compared with the capital.

"Is it the eldest prince who got married today?"

"It's not." Aunt Yue said: "It is the second son who got married today, and the eldest son studied art in the mountains and has not been back for several years. He is obsessed with martial arts and has vowed not to marry in this life. ”

It is also common for many famous swordsmen to be with the sword all their lives. It's not that they don't love women, it's just that probably all the passion is given to the sword, so there is no extra warmth to share with the wife and children.

I picked up the cake and before I could eat it, I heard footsteps and human voices outside the door. (To be continued)
