Du Ruhe was chatting with his mother, and suddenly saw his mother frozen there. rushed to say: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Suddenly this scary expression appeared. It's not that He'er offended you again, right? provoked the mother to give birth to such a disappointed look. ”

Mrs. Liu was suddenly asked by Du Ruhe, and replied with a surprised look. "He'er, it's none of your business. Look, who's coming? ”

"Auntie, Yanzhi has come to greet you." Du Ruhe took the opportunity to look back, Dong Yanzhi was already like a dew on the water of summer, gave a deep salute to Mrs. Liu, and said lightly.

Mrs. Liu replied casually, bluffing, "Ouch, Yanzhi, my sister's dear blood and bones, you are the immortal who landed in the mortal world?" I was amazed by such a bright woman, and I was even more handsome than when I first saw you yesterday. If you hadn't come to Dao'an, I'm afraid my aunt wouldn't have dared to recognize you. ”

"Well, my aunt just praises people, your sticky mouth, Yanzhi has blown you to the sky and the earth, and the flowers have fallen. In fact, Yan Zhi is just a hard-working woman, so beautiful and amazing touted by her aunt. If there is no aunt's family attached to the body, Yan Zhi is just a beggar on a wild path, then there is Yan Zhi in the eyes of the aunt who is elegant and elegant. If you compare it with the cousins of your aunt's family, I'm afraid that Yan Zhi can be regarded as a subordinate with a bit of grace at most, where she dares Yu Yue to be above her aunt and cousin. It doesn't have to be an aunt and cousin who is used to seeing gorgeous clothes and beautiful watches in the eyes of my aunt, and sometimes I feel that Yanzhi is so outstanding when I first arrive, if it is a long time, I am afraid that my aunt's eyes will be extremely mediocre when she looks at me. Dong Yanzhi tried her best to get rid of her aunt's praise and said, and on the other hand, she pushed her aunt's extremely amazing praise to her cousins, she didn't want to cause her cousins to part because of her beautiful appearance.

Seeing Dong Yanzhi so euphemistically pushing her mother's words of praise to herself, Du Ruhe couldn't help but smile cautiously: "Sister Yanzhi, don't be humble." It's not an exaggeration to praise my mother for such a fit, you see your elegant clothes and colorful appearance, it's not something I can imitate, let alone my big grinning sister. You really can afford to be praised by your mother, don't worry, we won't be jealous. ”

"Sister, don't push your sister into the fire pit, it's really shameful to kill my sister." Dong Yanzhi tried her best to shirk again, as if her eyes had a circle of hazy droplets, and she wanted to drip.

Hey, Du Ruhe suddenly sighed lightly, glanced at Mrs. Liu, and said: "Mother, don't be careless, Sister Yanzhi is about to be praised and cried by you, let's talk about something else, don't keep smearing grease and powder on others, no one can stand it, not to mention it's still a girl's house, let's talk about other topics." ”

"Oh, by the way, Sister Yanzhi, I heard you say that you don't really want to participate in the "Qin and Chess Festival" held by the Gao Wangfu this autumn, but I don't know why? Can you tell me? Du Ruhe asked without thinking, as if he was willing to reveal the previous confusion.

Mrs. Liu immediately followed Du Ruhe's question, causing Dong Yanzhi, who had been boasted about just now, to freeze in the middle for a moment, and an arc of hazy color crossed her eyebrows and eyes.

"Auntie, it's not that Yanzhi doesn't want to participate in these grand events that can get ahead. Yan Zhi also knows that these grand events in the palace can change a woman's fate, especially a lonely and helpless woman like Yan Zhi, which is a rare opportunity and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But Yan Zhi has a tragedy in her heart, everything that used to be like an indissolvable heart mound is deeply pressed in the bottom of my heart, and I am tired of those superficial glamorous and dazzling extravagant lives. If you can find a bird in the forest at ease, you will never be a caged canary in the red tiles of the high wall. Dong Yanzhi looked at Mrs. Liu and Du Ruhe squarely and said unhurriedly, and let out a long sigh of relief, as light as a burden of thousands of catties suddenly released in her heart.

Du Ruhe suddenly asked carefully, like a burst of beads: "Sister Yanzhi, do you have unspeakable sorrow and pain in your heart?" Can my mother relieve you of this sorrow? How can I not see what kind of memorable experience you had? Sister Yanzhi, is this true? ”

Mrs. Liu was also dumbfounded at this time, her eyes were stunned and she was stunned, and she couldn't recover for a long time. With Madame Liu's noble appearance, could she have expected that this beautiful woman in front of her had an amazing experience before? And those experiences are precisely imposed by those so-called princes and generals who are superior to others.

Dong Yanzhi was closely questioned by Du Ruhe for a while, and she was thinking about whether she should tell the whole story. When I raised my eyes, I saw Mrs. Liu's bewildered and sad look again, and her heart softened halfway, and she recounted those past events with a hard heart. was so shocked that Mrs. Liu's mother and daughter and the three or two maids who were serving opened their mouths one after another, and they didn't dare to open their breaths, and their eyes were full of thrilling panic.

The welcome hall of Du Mansion was suddenly as silent as dead ashes, as if it could be heard along with the sound of falling flowers and branches.

Dong Yanzhi stood calmly in it like someone who was fine, looking extremely quiet and beautiful. Mrs. Liu was first frightened and then sad and joyful, ran down from her seat with a graceful sigh, hugged Dong Yanzhi and couldn't help but burst into tears, and said with hatred in her mouth: "This hateful Nanbatian, the broken Marquis Geng, is really deceitful and deceived to the family, so insulting the descendants of my Liu family, my Liu family and you are incompatible, with you without me, with me without you." ”

Du Ruhe was not far behind her mother's grief and indignation, and took Dong Yanzhi's slender jade hand Yin Yin and sobbed: "Sister Yanzhi, you have suffered, Ruhe really didn't intend to reveal the pain in your heart. If we had known that you had suffered so much inhuman suffering before, we would have sent someone to pick you up earlier. But ah, this sea of people is vast, and you have no fixed place to live, and we have no news, where is the place to find you? ended up that Sister Yanzhi was so lonely and lonely in the world, Ruhe Zhen felt sad for her sister and felt very pity. ”

"Auntie, Sister Ruhe, and a few of you, you really don't have to be so sad and angry. Now that the rain has passed, everything is empty, and I am not standing in front of you. Now that Yanzhi has won the love of her aunt and cousins, she is no better than before, but it makes Dong Yanzhi feel very grateful and sigh to herself. Seeing this, Dong Yanzhi comforted Mrs. Liu and Du Ruhe, as if she was not the protagonist of the story, and grasped everyone's grief and indignation.

When the three of them were sad for a while, the laughter of Du Qingfeng and Du Ruyu came from outside the hall. I only heard Du Qingfeng say first: "We won't go there today, just walk around at home with Sister Yan Yanzhi who came from afar." Like a sister-in-law, are you also with your brother? ”

Du Ruyan replied with a smile: "Ha, ha, when did the eldest prince of Du Mansion be so honest and willing to spend some time with the guests?" I've never seen the eldest prince of Du Mansion so attentive before? It's not that you kid has a ghost in his heart today, so he is so willing to spend his blood to please the beauties. ”

"I, bah, bah, bah, my sister knows that it's not good to make fun of my brother, is my brother a big pervert who forgets his righteousness in the eyes of his sister, a big villain? I, I, am I that bad? Du Qingfeng refuted angrily in an intermittent and eager tone, and seemed to be dissatisfied with Du Ruyan making fun of himself so much.

.

"Good, good, good, it's my mouth that splashed and slandered the beautiful image of the eldest prince of Du Mansion in front of people. Now I solemnly apologize to you: I'm sorry, eldest prince, I was wrong, I was wrong. Forgive me this time! Du Ruyan suddenly stopped outside the hall and bowed deeply to Du Qingfeng, and then said with a strange smile.

"Forget it, my son is in a good mood today, so I won't worry about you in general. Let's go, let's see my mother and sister Yanzhi. Du Qingfeng replied in a timely manner, took Du Ruyu's little hand and walked to the hall.

The two of them entered the hall, and the scene in front of them startled them. I saw Mrs. Liu holding Dong Yanzhi in her arms, and Du Ruhe standing next to her alone, with a dull expression, a sad face, and tears in her eyes. It's all sad and angry, and it's amazing.

Du Qingfeng and Du Ruyan said in unison for a while: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" In the morning, why do you look heartbroken? ”

When Mrs. Liu saw the two of them come in, she looked surprised and confused, hurriedly collected the tears in her eyes, let go of Dong Yanzhi and sat back on the master's chair, and said lightly: "No, it's nothing, you don't have to make such a fuss." Mother just can't help but be moved, just after a while, you don't have to worry. ”

Du Ruhe saw her mother's insincere tone for a while, and knew that her mother seemed to be hiding something. He didn't say a word more, but he also nodded yes. Dong Yanzhi naturally greeted the two with a smile on her face: "Yanzhi, I have seen two cousins and cousins. Good morning, two! The two of them returned the salute and sat down on the chairs arranged on either side.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu immediately cleared her throat, looked around at the four of them, and said, "You three, your father was in a hurry this morning and didn't have time to take care of your respective studies. If you have anything to eat, tell me quickly. Those who do not have it should go according to their own studies, and they will not be wasted. Ruhe, your aunt's cousin Yan Zhi has just arrived from afar, and she is sparse in life, and she is familiar with you, so let's get along with you. If you need anything, you send a maid to inform your mother, and your mother will naturally be able to organize it for the two of you. ”

When Du Qingfeng and Du Ru saw Mrs. Liu's arrangement, they were unhappy and sulked in their hearts. Although they didn't say it, the look in their eyes had already betrayed what they were thinking, and they couldn't wait to run over and get along with Dong Yanzhi at this time, galloping freely and landing freely.

Mrs. Liu seemed to have seen the thoughts of the two, and couldn't help but sneer: "Feng'er, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it and let your mother hear it, yes or no?" Du Qingfeng also said unrelentingly: "Today, the child won't go there, so I'll stay in the house to accompany Sister Yanzhi." ”

The corners of Mrs. Liu's mouth raised slightly, glanced at Du Qingfeng contemptuously, and said with a half-disgusted smile: "Hmm, hmm!" Son-in-law, what do you think? ”

Du Ruyan hurriedly grabbed Bai and said: "My mother loves Sister Ruhe so much, and she left Yanzhi in her residence alone, not for Sister Ruhe to participate in the 'Qin and Chess Festival' held by King Gao's Mansion this autumn." I heard that all the descendants of the Dong family know the sound of the piano to some extent. Mother, you won't even be so close to each other, right? ”

Mrs. Liu heard Du Ruyan say this, and hurriedly glanced at Dong Yanzhi, and shouted: "If you are married, my mother will not allow you to talk like this, let alone mention the 'Qin and Chess Festival' held in Gaowang's Mansion this autumn." Although your sister Ruhe signed up for the competition, her mother may not let her participate at that time. ”

This time it was Du Ru's turn and Du Qingfeng were completely stunned, I had heard my mother say that Ruhe's sister was going to participate in the 'Qin and Chess Festival' competition in Gaowang's Mansion this autumn, and not long ago, she specially asked people to look for the current violinist to meet the opponent. Why is it that now when Dong Yanzhi came, the three of them hugged each other, tears dropped, and in a blink of an eye, they said that they would not participate. It's a strange thing to do. Thinking like this, Du Ruyan and Du Qingfeng were suddenly stunned, and looked at Mrs. Liu with doubts in their eyes, looking puzzled.

Dong Yanzhi had already seen the clues in Mrs. Liu's heart, and was afraid that the two cousins and cousins would reveal their scars in a daze, so they separated their minds. Dong Yanzhi glanced at Mrs. Liu gratefully, and said with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth: "Auntie, since the two cousins and cousins are so close to Yanzhi, you might as well let them be free today, do whatever they like, and don't make trouble." I'm happy to be with them, and I'm crazy about it. ”

"What about your heart mound, what should I do?" Mrs. Liu reminded Dong Yanzhi.

Dong Yanzhi suddenly smiled cautiously, her eyes radiated a wonderful light, and she replied firmly and comfortably towards the sunlight outside the hall.

"Heh, my aunt is too careful. What kind of heart mound is that? Don't worry, I've forgotten. At best, it's just a stumbling block along my way, and it doesn't matter anyone or anything. Even if it is a scar the size of a bowl, it is just a pomegranate on a tree, and it can hinder its growth. The 'Qin and Chess Festival' held by Gao Wangfu this autumn may also be a good opportunity for me to show off my Qin and Qi skills. ”
