Chapter 14: Uncle and Nephew Meet

Wen Yi suddenly had a feeling in her heart that this benefactor was so hesitant to speak, as if he was not saying his real name. I just heard that Luo Gongzi calling, there is no doubt that the surname of this black-clothed young man is Liu, and this is not a special surname, why does he hide it from himself?

Last name...... Wen Yi suddenly remembered that Fang was on the side of the carriage, and when he learned that he was the daughter of the Gu family in Pingyang, his face was a little strange, could it be that he had an old relationship with the Gu family? Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but remember that in the Gu family, if anyone has a relationship with the family surnamed Liu, it is undoubtedly a long house. The third cousin born to the old lady's grandmother was married to the Heng'an Liu family, which is also a big family. Could it be that this young man is still the Gu family's in-laws?! The third cousin only gave birth to a cousin, and although she had met once in her previous life, she couldn't remember what she looked like because of her age.

She hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "It turned out to be Gongzi Liu, I don't know where Gongzi looks?" The little girl clan is related to the Heng'an Liu family, but I don't know the son...... But the children of Heng'an? ”

The black-clothed young man was silent for a while before he said, "Although he is a person from Hengan, he ...... It's just a side branch, and he doesn't dare to climb the royal family. ”

Heng'an Liu's poems and books have been inherited for more than 100 years, and in Gu's view, they are already a famous family, but they are not long in Heng'an. There are four or five families around the city of Heng'an Mansion, all of which have been prosperous since the previous dynasty, although the Liu family is also a local family, but because there are not many children of the scholars, they are just a little famous among the scholars, or they have entrusted the descendants of the Liu family of this generation to get acquainted with the current saint when they got acquainted with Yu Wei, and then they were awarded the blessing of the famous hall of the imperial examination, and it was only then developed. Later, the Liu family had another daughter as the prince's concubine, and the patriarch was quite long, so when outsiders talked about the Liu family, they first thought of the Yan branch.

The young man said that he was a side branch, which meant that he was not from the princess's mother's family, but on the other hand, he also admitted that he was a child of the Hengan Liu family. Since the Gu Liu family is related, they are not strangers. Wen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and was more relieved of him, but seeing that his face was not very good, he hesitated in his heart: Could it be that because his lineage is too prominent, he feels uncomfortable as a side branch?

Wen Yi thought of herself, she was also from a side branch, and she was also a prominent descendant, although she would not be jealous in her heart, but she was still less angry on weekdays? Could it be that this young man is also sympathetic? As soon as she thought that the current master mother of the Liu family was the third aunt from the long house, she decided that the other party was most likely arrogant or mean-spirited, at least she was a good person on the face, but in fact she was indifferent and ruthless.

Thinking like this, Wen Yi slowed down her expression and said softly: "The little woman is the daughter of the Xuanhetang of the Pingyang Gu family, and she is also from a side branch, and the aunt of the long house is married to the Liu family, but the little woman has never seen this aunt, and she does not dare to climb the emperor's relatives." ”

The face of the young man in black was even more strange, and he looked at Wen Yi with surprise in his eyes, and seemed to have a sudden realization. Wen Yi didn't understand what he meant, she only felt that the other party was staring at her like this, which made people a little ashamed, and she couldn't help but think of the situation when she fell off the carriage just now, and her face turned red again. Fortunately, the young man in black quickly looked away.

Aunt Zhang stood on the side and rubbed her waist, listening to the little master's words, she felt that something was wrong. She didn't expect men and women to be on guard, but she just felt that the young lady shouldn't talk like that. Even if that son is a member of the Heng'an Liu family, he is just a side branch, how can the young lady follow the words of others and alienate the aunt of the long house? That's the most prominent relative of the Gu family! The old lady and the young lady are helpless, and they can't live a decent life in Guzhuang? Worrying about this and that all day long, even if you don't get closer to Changfang, how can there be such a reason for saying such alienating words in front of outsiders? !

So she whispered to Wen Yi with a little annoyance: "Miss, that's a foreign man, you are a young lady from a big family, how can you talk to a man casually?!" That's not a good number! ”

Wen Yi has already lived as a young lady for a few years, and the monks are walking outside, where do they still care about this? If you don't talk to men, where can you get food? In addition, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were not her servants, so she didn't pay attention to it, and now when she heard Aunt Zhang say this, she was a little vigilant, knowing that this was not in line with the rules of the clan, but she saw that Aunt Zhang was interfering in her own affairs, and stared at her benefactor with suspicion and contempt, and she was displeased, and said lightly: "Who casually talked to a man?!" Liu Gongzi saved my life, did I ignore people with a straight face and didn't say a word of thanks, so I called the number of courtesies?! ”

Aunt Zhang shrunk her neck curtly: "The little one is just afraid that outsiders will know about it, and it will ruin Miss's reputation......"

Wen Yi sneered and glanced at her: "How can people outside know?" ”

Although Aunt Zhang's knowledge is limited, she is also the slave maid of the Gu family, she has been waiting for her master since she was a child, and she will naturally look at people's eyes, knowing that the little master is annoyed, and it is also the meaning of warning herself, she can't help but move uneasily, pulling the affected area around her waist, gasping for air, thinking of her own shortcomings today, if she really annoys the little master, she will turn it out and say, the old face of several lifetimes will be gone, maybe she will have to be sent to the clan for disposal, will she still have a way to live at that time? So he hurriedly shut up.

Uncle Zhang saw that his mother-in-law had suffered a loss, and he was also a little embarrassed. has been a husband and wife for more than ten years, he knows his wife's temperament best, just met a robber, his wife actually only cared about her own life and death, pretended to be dizzy, and left Miss alone to be pulled by the carriage so far, if it wasn't for meeting a good person, Miss had a good one, and the couple couldn't escape. But in front of his master and outsiders, he couldn't say that his wife was not, and he was depressed in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.

The black-clothed young man glanced sideways slightly, noticed the situation on Wen Yi's side, smiled faintly, and as if he didn't know anything, he circled around the three trees that were tied up with people, warning from time to time, or stepped forward to tie the knots tighter, dispelling the three of them to escape.

The sky gradually darkened, and it was already sunset, because this was the west side of Taiping Mountain, and it was getting dark later, but the road ahead was gradually unclear. Uncle Zhang looked at it for a while, then turned back worriedly and said, "Miss, my uncle's people haven't come yet, this is the side of the mountain, and no one has passed by for half a day, do you want to ...... Go to the village first? While you can still see the road now, if it is later, you won't even be able to see the road. ”

Aunt Zhang hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, miss, it's not far away, ride over, and soon arrive." Isn't the horse still able to walk? It's getting dark, and I don't know if there will be a few more robbers, there is only one Liu Gongzi here......" She looked at the young man in black, and the words "okay" were written on her face.

Wen Yi naturally saw her thoughts, just glanced at the horse's injured leg, and said: "We only have this horse in our family, it hurts its leg, and it must be well healed before it can be used again." I sat on it alone, and I was worried that it would crush it, and with you, it couldn't take two steps before it lay down. She glanced at the young man in black again, although she didn't know what the other party was doing, but he was able to restrain the crazy horse alone, and the young man in blue who was the enemy of the three thieves could rest assured that he was left here alone, obviously there was some reliance. She was not afraid, but felt at ease.

The young man in black seemed to notice her gaze, looked up at her, smiled slightly, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and then heard the sound of him getting up, and couldn't help but look over again.

He leisurely walked around on both sides of the mountain road, picked up a small pile of dry branches and leaves, lit a fire, and then cut a bunch of weeds with the robber's knife, and after working for a while, the grass was woven into two balls of mats, thrown on the side of the fire, and nodded to Wen Yi: "Miss Gu, you are tired after standing for a long time, so take a break." Then he turned and walked halfway away, and sat down cross-legged with the fire on his back.

Wen Yi thanked her politely, glanced at Aunt Zhang, and stepped forward to find a straw mat and sat down. Aunt Zhang saw that the young man had also made one for herself, and she also thanked her in a whisper.

It's dark. The firelight reflected on the faces, and the surroundings became more and more dark, and the weather gradually became colder. Wen Yi looked at the black mountains and forests around her, faintly heard the wolf howl, and couldn't help but feel a little afraid in her heart...... In her previous life, she had also slept in the wild with her master and sisters, more than a dozen people surrounded the fire, and kept adding firewood to it, and a senior sister went to the neighborhood in the early morning to relieve her hands, and never came back, after dawn, she found a blood-stained tie coat more than ten zhang away. She had heard that sound that night......

The melodious sound of the flute sounded, drowning out the howl of the wolf. Wen Yi looked over, it turned out that the young man in black didn't know when he played the leaf flute, playing a small song sung by the folk in Pingyang, the lyrics were originally describing a family in the countryside of Pingyang, a man farming and a woman weaving, and the family gathered around the dinner table after dark. Wen Yi listened to the familiar tune, his mood gradually settled down, and he was a little curious: he is obviously from Heng'an, how can he play Pingyang's small song?

This song was blown over and over again, and it went on and on, and I don't know when the stocky man and the boy among the robbers sang softly, and the latter sang with tears streaming down his face, only the slender eyes were annoyed to hear it, and he was still paying attention to the surrounding situation, and suddenly moved, and there was a "smack" in his ears, and a few hairs fell off his sideburns, and a grass stalk was inserted into the trunk behind his ear at some point, and he suddenly fell into a cold sweat.

The young man in black stood up: "The people are coming." Wen Yi was taken aback, hurriedly got up and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a row of torches lit up in front of him. Aunt Zhang fell asleep in a daze, woke up suddenly, jumped up, but flashed her waist again, and her teeth cracked in pain. Uncle Zhang had already greeted him happily: "Uncle! Is it my uncle?! ”

It was really Wen Yi's uncle Nie Jiachang, he personally brought eight or nine family members and drove a carriage to come, Luo Mingmin, a young man in blue, rode a horse and walked in the head to lead the way, and when he saw his friends, he smiled and shouted: "Have you waited for a long time?" It took a lot of effort to find a few more people! You can't imagine it, this young master of the Nie family, who are you?! ”

As soon as Wen Yi saw Nie Jiachang, she recognized his appearance, compared with when she begged for Qi Tian in her previous life, he was slightly younger, but he looked much older than when his mother passed away, and he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and he only felt that his uncle was willing to pick him up, and nothing else mattered.

She stepped forward to salute first, but Nie Jiachang flew off the horse, rushed up to support her, and cried: "My poor child! Why did you come out alone?! Then he looked at his niece and daughter carefully, and said distressedly, "How did your grandmother take care of you?" Raise you so thin! More than 100 miles of road, I only asked two people to follow the car! If there is a good one, wouldn't my uncle be distressed to death?! ”

Wen Yi burst into tears when she heard this, and said, "It's all the sins of my nephew's daughter, which makes my uncle so worried." There are only three male and female servants in the family, and two people were sent to follow the car, and there was only one Zhao Mama left to wait by the grandmother's side, or the grandmother went to another aunt to ask a daughter-in-law to help, and the nephew's daughter went out with confidence. It's no wonder that grandmother is to blame. ”

Nie Jiachang was taken aback: "I went to the funeral that year, and there were obviously more than 20 domestic servants in your family, why were there only three left?!" ”

Wen Yi bowed her head and wept: "Because of the large population, the expenses are too large, and the income at home is small, so ...... ...... are dismissed."

Nie Jiachang still felt angry, but when he saw his nephew's daughter showing embarrassment, and remembered that there were outsiders present, he didn't say much about the old lady of the Lu family, and only asked his nephew's daughter how her health was over the years, and if there were difficulties at home, he saw the burden at his nephew's daughter's feet, and learned that it was a birthday gift for himself, and he was pleasantly surprised: "It's hard for you to have this heart, even if you come to the door empty-handed, my uncle is also happy in his heart, what are you doing with these?!" ”

Wen Yizheng was embarrassed by the birthday gift, and when she heard her uncle say this, she was embarrassed and moved, and whispered: "If my uncle doesn't dislike it, my nephew's daughter wants to borrow it for two days, just in time to rush out a piece of needlework and make up for my uncle's birthday ......gift."

Nie Jiachang was overjoyed, and he couldn't imagine that the old lady of the Lu family was willing to let her niece and daughter come over to stay, and said busily: "If you want to live, stay for a few more days!" Tell your aunt to make up for you! After that, he called a maid ring: "Ah Ying, wait for Miss Cousin to get in the car." He said softly to Wen Yi: "Good boy, I can't enter the city tonight, let's rest overnight in Qiantouzhuang and leave tomorrow morning." Uncle has asked someone to rent a house there, and when we go over, the place will be cleaned, and I will talk to my uncle tonight, how have you lived all these years? ”

Wen Yi responded with a smile, remembering the young man in black, turned his head to look, saw him talking to his friend, glanced back at himself, smiled and nodded, and then turned his head again. Wen Yi felt a sense of loss in her heart, and then she woke up, recited a few words of Buddha in her heart, and then was supported by Ah Ying and got into the carriage.

Luo Mingmin watched Wen Yi get into the carriage, turned around and smiled at his friend: "Xiaoliu, when I went to report the news, I saw the broken carriage, and I realized that this little girl was the daughter of the Pingyang Gu family. Won't it ...... It's the niece of the elder of your family, right? ”

"Xiaoliu" smiled and said lightly: "She is the side branch of the Gu family, and she should be the daughter of Liufang, the family mentioned by the second aunt when she was in Cannes a few days ago." ”

Luo Mingmin was taken aback: "Won't it?" It is...... Which one?! He blinked, "Look at this little man, and he is a thin person, and he can't tell at all that he is the dignified and intelligent girl that your aunt said." You're not mistaken, are you? ”

"Xiao Yanagi" shook his head: "I've already asked, it was she who said herself, she was born in the Gu family's Xuanhe Hall, which one else?" It's just ......," he paused, "just ...... She asked about our surnames and names, saying that they would thank you in the future, but I didn't report my real name, only that my surname was Liu Guanhai, and I used the number you guys gave me when you joked. Don't show your stuff. ”

Luo Mingmin showed a strange look on his face and said with a wry smile: "Why didn't you say it earlier?!" This son of the Nie family is Nie Heng's sick Pan An, who has been with us in the same class at Cannes Academy for two years, and we just met, I have already told him about you traveling with him, he is the cousin of the little girl of the Gu family, right?! Where can you hide it?! Brother Dongxing, you don't see anyone, what are you hiding from her?! ”

Liu Dongxing stroked his forehead and smiled bitterly: "This is ...... Trouble, if the news comes back to Hengan......"
