Chapter 15: Brother

Before Jinxuan could ask, Hua Mian covered his mouth and motioned for him to look at the figure at the door.

After Jinxuan blinked clearly, Hua Mian let go of her hand.

Jinxuan looked at Hua Mian with an anxious face, he was confused since he entered the inn.

Hua Mian handed over a slightly calm look, and said calmly, "Lady, don't you rest early, you have to hurry tomorrow?" ”

Jinxuan rolled her eyes and said delicately, "Let's sleep together."

The corners of Huamian's mouth twitched irrepressibly and twitched "good"

Seeing the figure disappear at the door, Jinxuan's voice was extremely low and asked Hua Mian, "What's the matter?" Is that food poisonous? ”

Hua Mian shook her head, "It's not poison, it's just sweat medicine, we guess we have strayed into the wolf's den"

Jinxuan's face collapsed, and she looked dejected, "What should I do then?" ”

Hua Mian smiled slyly, "It's okay, let's sleep in peace"

After that, he ignored Jinxuan, walked to the edge of the collapse, took off his shoes and socks, got into the bed, left the outside for Jinyu and Jinxuan, and slept in his clothes.

Jin Yu looked at Hua Mian dumbfounded, this can also be asleep, she didn't believe that she was tempting Hua Mian, "Husband, husband?" ”

"Shut up and sleep," Hua Mian's cold voice interrupted Jinxuan.

Jinxuan choked, picked up Jinyu, who was yawning, and also went to the bed.

Maybe he was really tired, and after a while, the sound of even breathing remembered, Hua Mian, who had been asleep for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, evoked a sneer, moved his wrist slightly, and then continued to sleep.

The three of them slept peacefully, dreamless all night, and did not wake up until the end of the hour.

Jinxuan rubbed her sleepy eyes, got out of bed, woke up, and saw the door of the room open, and there were two big men lying at the door.

Hurriedly raised his foot to see what he understood.

"Don't look at it, pack up your things, it's time for us to go" Hua Mian's faint voice came from behind her, stopping Jinxuan who wanted to check.

Jinxuan looked dumbfounded, turned her head to look at Hua Mian, pointed to the door, and said in a daze, "This..... Is it all dead? What did you do? ”

There were two big men, and Jinxuan, who had already walked quickly to the door, saw that there were people lying in the corridor outside and up to the stairs, lying on the ground one by one, and there was no place to put their feet.

Hua Mian sat at the table, so calm that she was "dizzy"

He already held the principle that people don't offend me, I don't offend me, he has no interest in caring why they get together and what they want to do, so he wants to sleep well, who let these people ask for trouble, his hand is too long.

Chu Chenxi's drug, who was joking, fell when he heard it, so many people wasted his whole bottle of drug, it was too distressing.

Jinxuan closed her mouth and swallowed hard to spit, he didn't want to mess with Huamian anymore, it was terrible.

Ma Yu packed his luggage and went to the kitchen to get some food.

After the three of them had breakfast, they continued to drive towards the imperial city.

Hua Mian and Jin Yu sat in the car, and Jin Xuan sat on the wheel of the car and waved the horse whip in her hand.

However, Huamian slept groggily most of the time, Jinxuan had to stop the car every time she reached a fork in the road to ask passers-by the direction of the Imperial City to go on which road, she would never disturb Huamian, except for waking up Huamian during lunch, the rest of the hours were talking to Jinyu. Let the flower sleep to sleep.

Before the city gate was keyed, he walked into the imperial city.

At this time, Chu Chenxi, who was in the Flower Pavilion, was hating iron and steel, and looked at Qin Rui who was kneeling at the bottom.

Gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you send someone to follow the pavilion master, let you come back, you will come back, and you will send the letter in person, the eagles raised by the master are all watching and playing."

Qin Rui, who was kneeling on the ground, was extremely complaining, could he not listen to the pavilion master's orders?

Who knows that the letter of the pavilion master is only two words, he is a messenger, does this complain about him? It's more wronged than Dou E.

The letter paper Chu Chenxi held in his hand was crumpled and crumpled, and the word peace was written on the letterhead, and there was nothing else.

Damn Huamian, in order not to know his whereabouts, he actually sent back all the people in the dark pile for an excuse. He was also worried about her safety, and he was kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs.

"Bastard" Chu Chenxi slapped the letter paper on the desk and scolded angrily.

Qin Rui, who was kneeling on the ground, shook three buckets, and hurriedly kowtowed, "My subordinates are willing to receive punishment"

Chu Chenxi's handsome face was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The person who brought you back is good to return to the furnace."

Qin Rui was stunned for a moment, what about himself, he can't ask, let's go and get the punishment himself, Shen Sheng should be, bowed out of the room.

Chu Chenxi was left alone, secretly angry at the empty room.

Hua Mian was woken up by Jinxuan, "It's here?" ”

Jinxuan's cheerful voice said, "Childe, we have entered the city, this imperial city is so big, it is evening, and there are so many people on the street"

He hasn't been out of the cottage much since he was a child, so he and Jinyu will sit on the wheel and look around, looking like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, which makes Hua Mian, who has just poked his head out, laugh and shake his head.

Hua Mian looked at the familiar streets and familiar shops in front of her, and a touch of amazement hit her heart. How long has she not been back, she left in a hurry three years ago, she didn't dare to take a second look, and she came here again today, with a lot of emotion.

Hua Mian pointed to the road, Jinxuan drove to a inn that looked very high-grade, asked for a room, and instructed Jinxuan, "I have something to do in the past two days, you take Jinyu to live here for these two days, go out to play, and I will come back in a few days."

He was going to worship his parents, not because he was worried about the two of them, but because he was too troublesome.

took out two silver tickets and some broken silver from his bosom and stuffed them to Jinxuan, "Remember, money does not leak, keep an eye on everything, don't trust anyone, take Jinyu to have fun, wait for me to come back"

Jinxuan took the silver ticket and nodded solemnly, she didn't ask if she shouldn't know.

Hua Mian was still dressed in white and draped in black, and came to the door of the General's Mansion by night.

Hua Mian stood at the door, tilted her head slightly, and looked fascinated.

For some reason, the gate of the General's Mansion is still the same as before, but there are many fallen leaves piled up on the ground of the gate, and the vermilion gate is covered with thick dust, and there is no magnificent atmosphere of the past, and all that remains is desolation and depression.

Hua Mian stepped forward and pushed the heavy wooden door, but with a "squeak", the door opened.

There was no lock, Hua Mian was happy, quickly dodged in, and closed the wooden door.

Since that day, except for the emperor's decree to bury the general's wife and children, it has been put on hold, and no one has come to take over, all of them think that the general's mansion and his family have been burned to death in the mansion, it is a murderous house, and no one wants to come on weekdays.

Hua Mian skillfully walked to the yard where he lived, his small courtyard was burned to death, only a pile of ruins remained, Hua Mian turned around and walked towards the yard where her parents lived, the familiar artificial lake, the Jiuqu Bridge on the lake was still repaired according to the way she painted, walking on the bridge, the original clear and clean lake surface has already exuded a fishy smell, only dirty silt remains.

The flowers were turning little by little, and the dead leaves under their feet clicked.

In the end, Hua Mian stood at the door of the study, this was the last place where Hua Mian's father and mother died, Hua Mian's hand raised and fell, and raised again, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

He couldn't even remember what his father's study was like, he didn't come to the study much since he was a child, he was afraid of disturbing his father's work, and when he came back today, he only remembered the tragic death of his father, and he couldn't remember what the original study should be like.

Walking into the house, a smell of old dust came to my face, and I choked and coughed low.

With a sigh of relief, Hua Mian walked to the desk where his father used to work, and with the moonlight from the window, he carefully groped for the objects on the bookshelf behind him.

Hua Mian's hand reached out to a white jade porcelain vase, and squinted his eyes, no, all the objects were full of dust, only this one was clean, as if it had been carefully wiped recently.

Hua Mian took the bottle in her hand, walked to the window, and looked carefully, Hua Mian suddenly screamed hoarsely towards the empty room.

"Brother, is that you? Brother, you're back, aren't you? You come out, I'm a sleeper, where are you, you Come out."

The white jade bottle in Huamian's hand is painted with a ginkgo leaf and a maple leaf, the technique is rough, and the painting has no technology at all, this is the white jade bottle that his father's mother gave to his father on his birthday, and the maple leaf and ginkgo biloba on it are drawn by his brother.

How is it in the study now, it must be that my brother is back, it must be.

Hua Mian's face was full of tears, her eyes were slightly red, and she was holding the jade bottle tightly, she was thinking, her brother is still alive, it's good, her brother is still alive, she will see it again. Definitely.

He wiped his face and drew the outline of a ginkgo biloba with his fingertips on the dusty desk. Carry the jade bottle in your arms.

If my brother comes back, he must know that she is still alive and will wait for her here.

Collecting his thoughts, he walked out of the mansion with the jade bottle, turned his head to look at the general's mansion behind him, his eyes were full of sadness, he gathered the big grate on his body, and disappeared into the night.

Hua Mian didn't return to the previous inn, but casually found an inn nearby to rest.

The next day, the sky and the sea were bright, Hua Mian changed into a plain dress and put on a fox fur of the same color, put on a hat, walked alone in the quiet street, and walked towards the mountains in the west of the city.

Hua Mian remembered that there was a sugar steamed cheese and chestnut cake that his parents loved to eat nearby, and he was not mistaken.

Hua Mian looked at the street full of shops, but there was no pastry shop alone, looking at the sky, it was already bright, and it shouldn't have been opened.

Looking at the familiar streets around him, but there was no pastry shop alone, the lake walked into a shop next to him that also bought pastries.

He said to the little brother who was placing the hot pastries that had just come out of the pot on the container, "Little brother, which shop used to be here?" ”

The busy figure of the little brother stopped, looked at the woman with a hat in front of him, and continued to put the pastries on the table, "It turns out that the house was closed a few years ago, or try my family's crisp cheese, it's also delicious." ”

The brows under the hat of Huamian furrowed slightly, and he said to the little brother, "Fill me with some cheese and chestnut cake."

The little brother turned the pastry in his hand towards Hua Mian and said, "Okay, Miss wait a minute"
