Chapter 4 Seeing each other is only sorrowful
At this moment, the grass on the wall of the Ye Mansion Courtyard trembled slightly, and then a small head came out, it was Ye Menghan and the others.
Because of the young lady's orders, Qiao'er had already thought of supporting her subordinates. Even he was guarding the entrance of the courtyard to prevent the second lady's sudden visit. So much so that at this moment, in addition to the three of them, there are only a few idle birds in the yard, but they are very safe.
Ye Menghan turned around and helped Fang Tianqing up, looked at the other party's body stained with mud due to climbing the dog hole, and hurriedly patted it with his hand. Then she took out a money bag and put it in Fang Tianqing's palm and said
"Sister Qing'er, you guys sneak out the back door now. The people over there have been pushed away by me, so go with confidence. These are my New Year's silver, and although they are not in large quantities, they can always be used for a while. ”
The girl's expression is sincere, which is very different from her usual innocent appearance. It's just that Fang Tianqing was already in a state of turmoil at this time, and she couldn't appreciate the mature and steady side of her sister. Fang Tianlan, who was behind her, watched the girl put the money bag in her sister's hand. I only feel that the warm winter sun is seared in his heart, and the weight of kindness can never be forgotten.
Ye Menghan couldn't see the treasure in Fang Tianlan's eyes, so he only sent the Fang family brothers and sisters all the way to the back door, and only pushed open the door after seeing that there was no one around. She took Fang Tianqing's hand, and at this moment, the two sisters were finally going to say goodbye. When she stepped out of this door, she and Sister Qing'er would never see each other again. The little hand hugged the warm body tightly, the person in the world who was not her own sister, but cared for her more than her own sister. Later... No one will cherish her anymore and prepare her favorite honey fruit for her in advance...
"Sister Qing'er..."
The words were choked in his throat, but tears fell aggrievedly for a moment, filling his entire eyes.
Fang Tianqing patted her head one last time. I knew in my heart that no matter what difficulties lay ahead, she could no longer be a child of the Fang family. The big tree of the Fang family has already fallen. Since then, not only can she no longer protect the little sister in her arms, but she can't even guarantee her own safety.
Fang Tianlan hugged his sister and couldn't bear to look at this parting moment again. The brother and sister walked out a little embarrassed, looked back at the little figure, and waved their hands like they struggling, as if they wanted to give them a ride and a ride.
The small silver butterfly on her head glowed in the sunlight and seemed to flutter its wings as if it were about to flutter with her movements. The thing is the same as its owner, and it is so smart and beautiful that it is impossible to fathom things.
Fang Tianlan forced himself to turn his head, not daring to look back.
The Fang family brothers and sisters walked farther and farther, until they couldn't even find a figure, and Ye Menghan closed the door. In her agitated mood, she didn't notice that it was in the stable not far from the back door. Ye Menghuai, her eldest brother who was most feared in the Ye family, was watching all this thoughtfully.
Ye Menghuai is a smart person, and he was famous when he was young. Not only is he talented, but he is also good at dealing with people. Exceptional talent is beyond the reach of ordinary people. It was only because Father Ye was cautious and worried that the Ye family was too eye-catching, so he was temporarily not allowed to enter the court.
Usually, this eldest brother of the Ye family has always gone straight to the hall after school, thinking of making trouble for Ye Menghan. Today is also a coincidence, his classmate friend Wen Yu bought a good horse from the West Market and gave it to him as a birthday gift. Ye Menghuai likes it tightly, and before he can go hunting, he has to run a horse in the martial arts field in advance. As soon as he walked to the stable, he saw Ye Menghan coming out of the back door with two small servants. Her sister-in-law's eyes were red and her expression was sad. The two little guys were also in a hurry, their faces were frightened, and even their backs were very angry.
This strange situation could not but make him suspicious. It's just that the three of them moved very fast, and after a while, their sister closed the back door, and the two little guys also hurried away.
Ye Menghuai touched the black horse's supple fur, and was thinking about whether to catch up and ask what was going on. As soon as his palm warmed, it turned out that the horse lowered his head, spit out his little pink tongue, and licked his palm flatteringly. Ye Menghuai was very happy in his heart, and in an instant, he put aside the affairs of the two little guys and concentrated on feeding the horses. Thinking in his heart, even if Ye Menghan's life is good today, for the sake of the horse's face, he will reluctantly let her go.
The brothers and sisters of the Fang family, who had already gone away, didn't know that they had escaped in secret.
The two walked to the ferry, paid the money and took the ferry out of the city. Fang Tianlan rented another carriage to take himself and his sister out of Bianliang. The carriage swayed, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from dense houses to sparse barren trees, until they were far away from the majestic city gate, and the brother and sister finally felt a sigh of relief.
Fang Tianqing rubbed his already sour legs, and couldn't help but cry again. She had never walked so much since she was born, and her feet hurt as if they were being burned by fire. I didn't feel anything when I was in a hurry to escape for my life just now, but now I just put my legs on the ground, and I feel uncomfortable.
Fang Tianlan saw that his sister was sad again, and hurriedly squatted down to wipe away her tears. I dug and pulled out my hand in my arms, but I couldn't find the silk handkerchief. Only then did I realize that I had already changed into the clothes of the little girl, and there was still a silk handkerchief.
Fang Tianqing cried even more fiercely, but she had to bite her mouth tightly and not let the coachman know. The big brother in her eyes had black and gray cheeks at this time, and the eyebrow powder used for makeup was made up. He was still wearing a modest little dress. The gorgeous jade pendants, swords, and silk tapes on the waist were all gone, and only a dilapidated money bag was still drummed and tied to it.
"Big brother... Big brother..."
When did her eldest brother do this, he cherished the man so much, what kind of crime did he suffer... She grabbed Fang Daylan's hand with one hand, wiped away her tears with the other, and with a crying voice, she was dyed with a little hatred, and almost bit her lip and asked Fang Daylan
"Big brother, who killed us?!"
Her daughter only knew that the Fang family was killed by gangsters, but she didn't know who the enemy was.
When Fang Tianlan heard him ask about the enemy, he clenched his fists even more hatefully. But after a while, he let go of his fist, and only stretched out his palms and patted Fang Tianqing's back one by one, comforting his sister
"Who the enemy is, I will tell you later. Only from this moment on, you and I can't have the surname Fang, from now on I will be Lin Yuan, and you will be Lin Xi. ”
Their Fang family's blood feud is deep, like an abyss, he must never forget the situation he is in from this moment on, so that he can avenge the Fang family.
As for the younger sister... He thought of Ye Menghan's innocent little face. My sister's name is Lin Xi, and I hope that my sister's life will always be full of sunshine like her. Besides, Xi is the split of the benefactor's name, which can be regarded as their Fang family is not ungrateful.
The wheels rolled, sending away the brothers and sisters of the Fang family, who were once famous in the capital. Since then, there are no more people in Bianliang City, Fang Tianlan and Fang Tianqing, but there are two more brothers and sisters named Lin Yuan and Lin Xi in the rivers and lakes.
Qiao'er estimated the time at the gate of the courtyard, seeing that the young master and the old man had already returned to the house, and her own young lady should be busy, right? She was worried that Ye Menghan had played too much with Miss Fang, and she saw that the eldest lady would not come here today to find any excuse. only then ran back to Ye Menghan's boudoir with his skirt.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my young lady kneeling in front of the closet rummaging for something. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Ye Menghan speak
"Is it Qiao'er? Go and find me a hot brazier."
"Aang? Brazier? ”
Qiao'er was drumming in her heart, which one is Miss playing today? One moment I want a little girl's clothes, and the next I want a brazier. At this time, a brazier in the house should not heat people to death. I want to persuade a few words, and I want to understand where my young lady has ever listened to persuasion. It's better to bring it early, if it's time to toss it to eat. It is inevitable that he will be scolded by the eldest lady again.
It's just that this solar term still uses a brazier, fortunately, there is an old woman in the yard who is very cold because of her weak body, so she secretly hid one and let Qiao'er bring it unceremoniously.
The brazier that was brought to him was lit on fire, and the room was suddenly filled with some heat. Qiao'er's face was flushed, and she looked at where the young lady was still looking for something, and hurriedly leaned over to ask
"Miss, what are you looking for? Everything is collected by Qiao'er, let Qiao'er help you take it out. ”
Ye Menghan heard her say this, so he stopped. He threw the crimson shark yarn in his hand into the brazier and commanded
"I remember two goose-yellow brocades and an apricot-colored butterfly dreadlock, both of which were found for me."
Qiao'er was startled by her action, and was stunned for a moment before she saw the tongue of fire roll over the crimson shark yarn. The sparks splashed and burned the cloth in an instant, and he quickly knelt on the ground and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Miss, what's the matter? Even if you regenerate your anger, don't take out your anger with this precious object! This shark yarn doesn't even have the eldest lady, so it's not easy to get such a horse..."
She looked anxious, but seeing that her young lady's face was indifferent, she continued to persuade
"Didn't you make an appointment with Miss Fang Wu to cut and make clothes together when the ceremony was due?" Now that it's burned, what will I use when I wait for it? ”
No wonder Qiao'er is in a hurry. This shark yarn is originally woven by the best weaver girl, and it takes a lot of time to weave one horse a year. In addition, because the bone armor of a fish called mackerel in the sea is used when dyeing the cloth, it is not only rare to use the material, but also extremely difficult to color. Therefore, the two colors of crimson and turquoise are the most rare. Although it is not as good as tribute satin, it is not something that ordinary officials can see.
The horse that Fang Tianqing gave her has fine woven feet, the color is extremely positive, and it is crimson, which is really the best in the shark yarn. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is kept as an heirloom.
Ye Menghan, you really wanted to wait for her and Lu to cut out a dress. Together with his sister Qing'er, he asked a painter to paint portraits of the two of them.
But now... If this shark yarn stays any longer, it will be a curse.
The shark yarn is conspicuous, for the safety of the Ye family, and for the sake of Sister Qing'er, they can escape further. These things have to be burned.
"If this thing doesn't burn, it's a cauldron of death."
Ye Menghan said firmly, and the firmness in his eyes conveyed a kind of firmness that does not belong to children.
Qiao'er had never seen such a condensation on her own young lady's face. Her young lady is obviously still so young, and she will only do some children's fun of catching butterflies and fighting crickets on weekdays, and even climbing the dog hole is childish. How... It's like growing up!
Qiao'er was stunned. Ye Menghan really knew that time was pressing, and he didn't realize what was going on when he helped Sister Qing'er escape just now. When the two of them escaped, she broke out in a cold sweat. It wasn't until she got back to the house and sat down that she gradually became afraid, and realized what a trouble she had caused. But... She doesn't regret it.
Ye Menghan couldn't wait for Qiao'er, and quickly rummaged through it again. While thinking about what interesting things Sister Qing'er had given her over the years, she sped up the speed in her hand. If she accidentally landed, it was a knife hanging over her body.
Qiao'er saw that she was in a hurry, although she was completely puzzled, she still helped Ye Menghan find it. Although she was reluctant to give up these things worth a thousand dollars, after all, she had respected the young lady since she was a child, and she had to cooperate with her master's behavior when she saw that persuasion was useless. Swallow all the questions in your stomach. The two of them rummaged through the closet to the dressing table, and searched up and down the room. It wasn't until everything Ye Menghan pointed out was burned by the brazier that it was counted. The two were also sweating profusely, leaning together for a long time and unable to speak.
Qiao'er saw that Ye Menghan's little face was full of exhaustion, and the sweat stuck to his sideburns and stuck to his neck, looking extremely uncomfortable. Busy and cheered up, and recruited a second-class maid to serve Ye Menghan to wash. He also lifted the burning brazier out of the room, and then felt a little cooler.
Ye Menghan was lying on the bed, only to feel that the strength of his whole body had been hollowed out. She doesn't have anything to do with Sister Qing'er in this house. It seems that the jokes of the past few years are like a dream, I have never climbed into that dog hole, and I have never met Sister Qing'er. Those honey fruits, delicate things, were all her imagination. The gentle and considerate care like a sister is also the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, and it has passed in an instant.
