Chapter 175: A Different Kind of Promise (I)

"Where are you going?" Xia Qian looked at him in surprise and asked hurriedly.

Huo Zun glanced out of the door, hugged her tighter, walked through the silent Qinglong City Street, and walked all the way to the east.

"Put me down, I'll go myself!" Xia Qian struggled to jump out of his arms.

"It's late at night, I'll take you home!"

As he spoke, he took her hand and walked side by side towards the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

The moonlight illuminated every corner of the street, and also elongated the figures of the two of them, and the mottled shadows of the trees overlapped her shadows, adding a little trouble to her sad heart.

The place in the General's Mansion that she couldn't climb, the place where everyone rejected her, brought her no less pain than the person in front of her.

She paused and wanted to return to the teahouse, but he pulled her tightly.

"You just came back, you spent the first night at home, and you have to go with me to see your father and mother tomorrow morning!"

Xia Qian's back was cold, the Huo family had a prominent family background and strict rules, where could she be responsible for this kind of etiquette.

The moonlight was as cool as water, sprinkled on her crumpled little face, lining her palm-sized cheeks even paler.

Huo Zun looked at her, his eyebrows twisted slightly, picked her up and walked quickly towards the northeast.

It was the government soldiers who were patrolling at night who opened the door, and when they saw their young master holding the young lady tightly in his arms, several government soldiers were stunned and hurriedly made a way.

Qingyue in the west courtyard will come back to clean every day, and the night pearl in the bedroom glows softly in the night, decorating the pink curtain like a dream.

The furnishings in the room have not changed, they have become just a state of mind.

Xia Qian lay on her side on the bed, looking at the wide brass screen in front of the bed, and she couldn't say anything in her heart for a while.

She used to lie on her side like this for half a year, and there were their laughter, joy, anger and sorrow, as well as their joy and sweetness.

No, it's not them, it's him and another, and she's just a substitute herself.

Thinking of this, she felt that everything in the past was just a dream.

The happiness in the dream belongs to another person, and the bitterness is all her own.

"Xia Qian, the reputation of the Huo family is not good, and I am the same, but no matter how it is spread outside, I have indeed only touched you one woman over the years. I have never had that mind about taking a concubine, no matter what others say, you don't have to take it to heart! ”

If these words had come out of his mouth more than a month ago, she would have been moved to tears, but now she could not make any ripples.

"It is natural to have someone in my heart and guard her like jade. Does Young Master Huo think this is also worth showing off? She sneered and said a faint word.

In fact, as soon as the words fell, she regretted it herself.

That little Yue'er is a wound in her heart, and for him, why is it not an injury?

Since he had to send someone under the fence, why bother to expose his scar?

"I didn't mean that, I just said that I haven't touched Meng Pujia, Yi Mengchu or even other women!"

Huo Zun's breath came from behind her, she silently moved to the edge of the bed, rolled the quilt tightly on her body and said, "If you want to do that, my body still needs to be conditioned, and the red old fairy said that it will take at least one or two years." Of course, if you change your mind and decide to take a concubine, or if someone else and a woman help you spread the leaves, I don't mind accompanying you! ”

The other party paused, twisted his eyebrows into a deep "Chuan" character, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and said seriously: "The incident of that day was indeed my fault, I apologize to you!" ”

Xia Qian sneered at the reflection in the brass screen, and said sarcastically: "Young Master Huo, is it useful for you to apologize to a crazy and stupid person who drowned?" ”

His arm stiffened, and he turned to look at the large and small night pearls above his head, and his eyes gradually became cold: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you again!" ”

Early the next morning, the two went to the East Courtyard to say hello.

Huo Feng was not there, and the Lin family saw Xia Qian quietly wipe a few handfuls of tears, burned incense in front of the Buddha with a red nose, and ordered Mingyue to take a bunch of delicious food and hand it to them.

Seeing that the silver hair on the other party's sideburns had more layers, Xia Qian also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

In the past, although the other party repeatedly forced her to drink medicine and give Huo Zun a concubine, she felt that the Lin family was still good to her daughter-in-law.

After chatting for a few words, she was surprised to find that Lin's thoughts were a little confused, and the words did not match the words before and after, and a simple sentence might be repeated more than a dozen times.

And Huo Zun was very calm about Lin's strange behavior, and even smiled and chatted with her.

Mingyue said that Huo Feng had entered the palace and would be able to come back within half an hour.

Huo Zun said that they came to see the Lin family, and after speaking, he pulled Xia Qian out of the general's mansion in a hurry.

"You have time to come back and walk more, and wear more clothes when it's cold!" Lin sent them out of the door and reluctantly said.

Xia Qian was stunned, at the beginning of July, it was the time when it was hot, where do you still need to add clothes?

Look at Huo Zun again, after coming out of the General's Mansion, he has been pulling his face, and his heart is written in his eyes.

"Is my mother's illness serious?" She asked cautiously.

"The root of the disease left many years ago, although it is not serious, it cannot be cured!"

She wanted to ask a few more questions, but when she saw that he was calm and silent, she didn't say anything more, and walked aimlessly.

Huo Zun took her out of the South City Gate and walked west along the banks of the Xuyu River.

Xia Qian's heart seemed to have been stabbed by a steel needle, and it hurt a few times - here, what a familiar place!

"A month ago, you jumped from here. My mother came back here every day to stand for an hour, and when she returned, she knelt in the Buddhist hall and recited the scriptures. Later, the Three Kingdoms talks failed, and the emperor ordered the secret transfer of troops, the layout of the station, and the father went out early and returned late every day. When my mother heard that there was going to be a war, she overthought and worried all day long, so her brain disease recurred! ”

She looked at the surging river, was pinched coldly in her heart, and said softly: "It's me who is not good, so my mother is worried!" ”

Huo Zun turned to look at Xia Qian, his eyes were a little gloomy, and he continued softly: "You can't be blamed for this matter, it's me who is a bastard!" I want to tell you that my mother actually likes you very much. My mother has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she is strong and decisive, but she is hard-faced and soft-hearted, and everyone sees the change in your attitude. ”

Lin's temperament Xia Qian could see that she also deeply felt the change in the other party's attitude towards her, but these words came out of Huo Zun's mouth, which made Xia Qian stunned, and her heart was even more unpleasant.

"The General's Mansion seems to be Songsheng Yue, but to put it bluntly, it is a group of martial artists. Fortunately, except for that one person, they are all iron-clad men, although they don't know how to dance before the moon before the flowers, the song and the swallow dance, but they are all true to their words and love and righteousness. Xia Qian, since I took you back, I won't fail you in this life and this life! ”

Is this a commitment?

There are no sweet words, but what you are talking about is this life and this life, and you are talking about it?

She looked up, just in time for the dark starry eyes that gave birth to him. The eyes were clearer than the sweet spring water on the high mountains, and more dazzling and charming than the starry sky in the dark night.

At the age of twenty, his eyes were bright and cold, with a touch of sadness on his face, and the morning glow reflected on his cold face, as if dyed with traces of the eventful years.

Just one glance made her heart beat a few beats slower unconsciously.
