247: Change
She is looking forward to the wonderful expression on the face of this silly man when the baby is born!
"Well, let's not be angry!" Xuanyuan Mo smiled and coaxed Ling Wushuang to be happy: "Otherwise, if you repeat what you just said, I'll listen carefully." β
"I'm too lazy to say."
Seeing that people were arrogantly playing with a little temperament, Xuanyuan Mo laughed: "Since you are too lazy to say it, let's not talk about it." Let me know when you want to speak, and I'll make sure I'll be there and listen. β
"I'm about to be a child's father, but I'm getting more and more out of character."
Ling Wushuang scolded him.
"Didn't I say it a long time ago, in front of you, I just don't have to do it right, and it doesn't have much to do with being a father to a child." Xuanyuan Mo smiled happily.
Jizhou.
Since the night of the destruction of the temple, although the county lord of Qingyang was appeased by Yu Wenming Xuan and no longer made trouble about Ling Wushuang and Xuanyuan Mo, the bright and carefree smile on her face no longer appeared.
For this, Mama Gui and Ruan Cui, as well as Yu Wenmingxuan, tried their best to make her smile again after a few days.
But the good times didn't last long, and she became dull again, sitting in the imperial garden in a daze from time to time.
It's completely different from the previous happy bird-like her.
No, right now, she picked a flower in her hand and walked slowly on the path of the imperial garden, it seemed that her little head was filled with a lot of worries, and Mama Gui and Ruan Cui were worried about her when they followed her.
When asked, she pursed her lips and just shook her head.
If you want to know why she is like this, you have to start with an incident that happened when she and Yu Wenmingxuan went to the street three days ago.
On that day, the wind was beautiful, and she was dull for a few days, but she smiled again, and in order to make her happier, Yu Wenming Xuan pulled her out of the palace and went to play on the street.
"Ming, Brother Ming, are you Brother Ming?" The county lord of Qingyang wanted to eat sugar gourds, so he dragged Yu Wenmingxuan to squeeze in front of a stall, and the big sugar gourd with his fingers asked Yu Wenmingxuan to pay the silver, just as they were about to continue shopping after paying the silver, a woman's voice sounded behind them: "Brother Ming, you must be Brother Ming, I won't recognize the wrong person." The woman looked very excited, looking at Yu Wenmingxuan's back, and tears lingered in an instant.
The light blue coarse cloth floral long skirt sets off the woman's figure is particularly slender and weak.
The woman had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her eyes were like water, so with tears in her eyes, she stared at Yu Wenmingxuan's back fixedly, standing there motionless.
She finally found him. Why didn't Dad let her find Brother Ming? His health is getting worse and worse, and Xiaohuzi is about to turn one year old, but he has never even seen his biological father, and he has said many times that as soon as they see someone in the capital to find Brother Ming, as Xiaohuzi's father, Brother Ming will definitely take care of their family.
But, why does Dad always say that the eldest brother is not the father of Xiaohuzi?
Obviously, when she woke up in the cave that day, it was Brother Ming who was guarding her outside the cave.
I remember that early that morning, when she went to the mountains to fetch firewood, she was suddenly struck on the back of the neck, and then, she did not know anything, and when she woke up, she found that her clothes were torn to shreds, and from time to time there was a burning pain in her lower body.
Although she is a mountain woman, she is not stupid.
She was forced by the gangsters, so scared, so helpless, she wanted to cry, but when she opened her mouth, her throat seemed to be choked, and she couldn't make a sound at all.
"Girl, you're awake." At this time, a warm male voice came into her ears, and following the sound, she saw it, and saw a handsome man in a white robe, sitting at the door of the cave and smiling at her faintly.
"You ......, I'll ......" She didn't know whether she should be happy, angry, or hateful, her eyes turned to the white-robed man, and she couldn't say a complete sentence when she opened her mouth.
The daughter's family has a little secret in their hearts, that is, they hope that their future husband will be handsome and mild......
The white-robed man in front of him has all the necessary qualifications, and he can be regarded as an outstanding person among men.
If he strengthened her, would she still hate him?
A man as gentle and polite as him should not abuse women at will. He must have had some unspeakable hardship to do something wrong to her.
It was already dark, and the mountain wind rustled the trees and grass outside the cave.
"Qiao'er, where are you, Qiao'er? Qiao'er, when you hear your father's voice, you squeak! "The woman's name is Qiaoxiu, she is the only daughter of a family under the mountain, her mother died early, and she and her father are left in the family to rely on each other. Not far from the cave, she was being called by her nickname, and the old man who was looking for her was the father of this woman Qiaoxiu.
It was Daddy, it was Daddy's voice, she glanced at the sky outside the cave, slowly straightened her dress, and stood up from the ground, while the man in white robe got up and turned his head to the side. At that time, she felt that her face was slightly hot, but this shame and embarrassment turned into tears dripping down her cheeks when she heard her father's voice.
She left home early in the morning to go up the mountain to collect firewood, and if it was usual, she could return before lunch.
It's almost evening, and before she comes back from the mountain, Dad will definitely be worried and anxious about her.
After a while, the old man's face was full of self-blame, and he hurried into the cave.
"Qiao'er, there's nothing to do, nothing to do, don't cry, let's not cry! Even if you can't marry for the rest of your life, your father will raise your ......" The man in the white robe is none other than Yu Wenmingxuan, who is traveling outside the mountains and rivers, he climbed to the top of this mountain called Huangshan this morning, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of this mountain comfortably. Who knew that when he floated halfway up the mountain, he inadvertently saw a man with a long head, wearing an ink shirt and a black scarf covering his face, walking out of a cave. He was suspicious, but he thought that more was better than less, so he planned to continue to float down the mountain, but at last he picked up his breath and jumped to the mouth of the cave where the man in the ink shirt had walked out. When he saw the scene in the cave, he was immediately dumbfounded. What to do? Does he immediately turn around and leave, leaving the mountain woman in the cave who was violated by the gangsters to fend for herself, or saving her from the mountain? He was very conflicted, the woman's clothes were disheveled, and she was torn to the point that she could see what had happened to her, and if he had saved her, would her family have regarded her as a villain who had done something wrong to their daughter? But it was not early, and it was not something he could do to let her and a woman sleep alone in a cave and fend for herself. So, he decided to stay outside the cave and wait for the woman's family to come and look for her before leaving.
Hearing the voice of an old man, he immediately thought that it must be the woman's family who went up the mountain to look for the woman. Fortunately, when he saw the old man, he roughly talked about the woman's condition, and the size of the man in black, etc., the old man was a reasonable person, and after listening to his words, he did not embarrass him, and ran directly into the cave.
It must have been the man in the white robe who heard his father's voice, led him to the cave, and said something to his father, otherwise, his father would not have spoken to her like this: "Dad, I, I have nothing to do......" Qiaoxiu said this, but her legs were weak, causing her whole body to collapse to the ground immediately.
"Come, Dad carries Qiao'er down the mountain, Qiao'er doesn't cry." The old man put his coat on his daughter, bent down his already stubble back, and asked his daughter to climb up, "No, Dad, I, I can walk, I can walk." Qiaoxiu struggled to get up from the ground and shook her head with tears in her eyes. How could she let her father, who was already in poor health, carry her down the mountain.
No, she can't ignore filial piety and let her father suffer for her.
"If the father and the girl don't mind, I'll carry the girl down the mountain?"
Yu Wenming Xuan stood at the entrance of the cave and said loudly.
The old man nodded and said politely: "Then there is Lao Gongzi." β
When he arrived at the home of the father and daughter at the foot of the mountain, Yu Wenming Xuan thought about leaving immediately, going back to the town not far from the foot of the mountain, looking for a restaurant, or an inn for a night, and then going to other scenic spots on the mountain tomorrow, but he was stayed by the hospitable old man.
On the way down the mountain, he chatted with the old man a lot, so he knew his general situation.
ββThe son of a large family in Beijing, he likes to travel in mountains and rivers, and is famous in Mingxuan.
Huangshan is not very far from Jizhou, the capital of Daqi, and you can play a single side by riding a horse for more than two hours, and you can take a carriage for a day at most.
It was only on the way back to Beijing from other mountains and rivers that he thought of this mountain near the capital, and he seemed to have never admired the exquisiteness.
So, this is his trip to Huangshan.
It took him five days to visit all the scenic spots in Huangshan, and during these five days, he lived in the old man's house.
Vaguely, he felt that the woman he rescued looked at him with obvious admiration for his daughter's family.
Even if he didn't understand the subtle feelings between men and women, he felt that he couldn't stay in the old man's house for a long time.
lest you harm other people's daughters.
Therefore, he told the old man's family that he had already sent a letter to him to return to Beijing, saying that he had something to discuss with him, so he said goodbye to them and left with the old man's father and daughter.
Unexpectedly, the woman named Qiaoxiu would appear in the capital.
Yu Wenming Xuan took the hand of the county lord of Qingyang, slowly turned around, and looked at the woman who called him: "...... you, are you a wooden girl?" He confirmed.
The capital is not as good as other places, after all, I haven't seen it for nearly two years, and suddenly a woman appears, calling out the alias he took when he traveled through the mountains and rivers.
"Ming, Brother Ming, it's me, I'm Qiaoxiu!" With tears in her eyes, Qiaoxiu smiled shyly: "I, I finally found you, please save my father, he, he's dying!" Raising his sleeves and wiping away his tears, Qiaoxiu stepped forward and grabbed Yu Wenmingxuan's arm and pulled him towards the small inn where their family temporarily stayed.
The county lord of Qingyang didn't know why, he was holding the sugar gourd he had just bought in his hand, and he was dragged forward quickly by Yu Wenmingxuan's small hand: "Brother Moon, where are we going?" She blinked her glass-like eyes wide, and asked Yu Wenming Xuan as she walked.
"I don't know the way of the road, but we'll know the way of the road in a while." Yu Wenming Xuan smiled at him, and then said to Qiaoxiu: "Girl Mu, you lead the way in front, and we will follow." "He's still the same as back then, he doesn't like people to touch him casually, so why does he hold the girl's hand firmly?
Qiaoxiu nodded "um", let go of her hand, and walked forward briskly with a somewhat gloomy look.
He will see Xiaohuzi later, will he like it?
Dad said that he was not Xiaohuzi's biological father, and Dad didn't allow her to come to the capital to find him, if it wasn't for Dad who was really sick this time, she wouldn't have hired a carriage with Dad on her back, and took him and Xiaohuzi to Jizhou City overnight while she was doing some tricks and feet while giving him medicine.
Early the next morning, he learned what had happened, but he just sighed and didn't say much. The matter has come to this point, and it has come to this, and besides, their entanglement is limited, so they will not cure the disease, and when they return home, she will not agree to anything.
She promised in front of him that she would not look for Brother Ming, and that the family would return to her hometown immediately after finding a good doctor in Beijing to treat her.
Yes, she deceived him, and for two days in a row, she walked out of the inn and spent several taels of silver to ask someone to inquire about the eldest brother Ming who was likely to be Xiaohuzi's father, and which big family was the son, so that she could take Xiaohuzi to find him to recognize his relatives, and then his father's illness would be cured with silver.
- The coils on her body were almost exhausted by her to inquire about the news.
If they can't find out the whereabouts of Brother Ming today, then their family will only be driven to the street by the innkeeper. Fortunately, fortunately, God treated her well, so that when the mountains and rivers were exhausted and there was no way out, she met Brother Ming.
To say that the heart is not happy is false.
In a particularly narrow guest room of the "Xilai Inn", Father Mu saw Yu Wenmingxuan enter the house, and immediately cast a reprimanding glance at his daughter.
He gasped and got up from the wooden chuang, looked at Yu Wenming Xuan and saluted: "Old decay, old decay has seen Ming Gongzi." When he made contact with the Qingyang County Lord behind Yu Wenmingxuan, he saluted again: "I've seen this young lady." β
"Daddy Mu doesn't have to be polite." Yu Wenmingxuan smiled and waved his hand, placed the county lord of Qingyang to sit down on the chair, and then walked to the old man's side, and said: "If you are sick, you have to find a doctor for treatment, since you have arrived in the capital and have been met by me, I can't ignore it." On the way to the Xilai Inn, Qiaoxiu told them about the current situation of their family.
As for Xiaohuzi's recognition of her father, she endured it, but she didn't say it after all.
It was too sudden, and she was afraid that Yu Wenming Xuan would not be able to accept it.
Besides, people also said that he violated her.
It's true that she is a mountain woman, but she also has her own reserve.
She believed that after Yu Wenmingxuan saw Xiaohuzi, she would remember the past of the year, so she recognized their mother and son to her side, and no longer treated her politely and alienated.
"...... Niangniang ...... "Little Huzi is almost one year old, the same as his name, looking like a tiger, seeing his mother back, blinking with big round eyes, turning over the body of the wooden father from the chuang, climbing to the chuang, Niangniang left for a long time, his little stomach was already hungry and gurgling: "Hungry and hungry...... Empress...... Tiger Tiger ...... Hungry ......"
When the county lord of Qingyang heard the child's voice, he hurriedly got up from the chair, and before Qiaoxiu picked up the little tiger, she stretched out her hand and hugged the little meat mound that had climbed to the edge of the chuang and sat down her own: "Brother Moon, this little baby is so cute!" She looked at Yu Wenming Xuan with a smile, and handed the sugar gourd in her hand to Xiao Roudun's hand.
"Sweet ......"
Xiaohuzi licked the sugar gourd with a smile: "Grandpa...... Eat ......" Seeing the old man shaking his head with a smile, he raised his little arm and stretched out it to Qiaoxiu: "Niangniang...... Eat...... Sweet ......"
"Huzi eats, mother, mother has eaten."
Qiaoxiu's eyes were red, and she raised her hand and moaned lovingly on Xiaohuzi's head.
"The child must be hungry, if there is anything we will talk about, I will take you to find a better inn to settle down first, and then ask the doctor to diagnose the father." Yu Wenming Xuan smiled softly, and wrapped the little tiger from the arms of the county lord of Qingyang, he didn't want to be tired, "Daddy...... Daddy...... Eat ......" Xiaohuzi raised the sugar gourd in front of Yu Wenmingxuan, and the babbling words shouted out of his mouth caused Yu Wenmingxuan's face to turn red in an instant, "Huzi, that's uncle, not daddy, don't scream!" Under Qiaoxiu's service, Father Mu put on his coat and shoes, and scolded Xiaohuzi unhappily.
Yu Wenming Xuan smiled awkwardly and said, "The child is still young, so it's not in the way to call the wrong person." "The baby born to him and others in the future will also call him daddy so sweetly! Thinking of the beautiful life in the future, the blush on Yu Wenmingxuan's face gradually faded, and a happy smile swelled up.
Because of Xiaohuzi's father, Qiaoxiu couldn't help but shed tears.
She believes that it is the affection of flesh and blood that will make Xiaohuzi call out the word daddy when she sees Yu Wenmingxuan for the first time.
"What are you crying about, isn't it good for me!"
Father Mu knew Qiaoxiu's thoughts, and in order not to let Yu Wenming Xuan see the clues, he hurriedly reminded Qiaoxiu not to lose his temper.
He could see that the Ming Gongzi in front of him, who had a warm breath and a talent, liked the girl in the goose yellow dress.
He looked at the girl and felt close to her.
A pair of pure, unstained eyes are brighter than the spring water on their mountain.
I'm afraid that only such a penetrating girl is worthy of a son like Ming Gongzi.
Alas! Why can't the stupid girl listen to him, like Ming Gongzi wholeheartedly, and admit that Ming Gongzi is the father of the little tiger? Father Mu shook his head helplessly and bitterly in his heart. Which one took his daughter's body, but irresponsibly left her alone in the cave and walked away?
In his lifetime, will he be able to help his poor daughter find the man who violated her back then?
If he is found, when he dies of old age, the poor mother and son will have something to rely on.
The people in the mountains are simple.
It is not difficult to see from Daddy Mu's thoughts.
The man who violated Qiaoxiu, when he was able to leave without saying a word and leaving nothing, how could he be responsible for Qiaoxiu's mother and son?
Even if a person is found by Daddy Mu one day, can he guarantee that the man will accept Qiaoxiu's mother and son and be good to their mother and son?
The outcome is unknown, no one can say.
However, it is now obvious that Yu Wenmingxuan is regarded by Qiaoxiu as Xiaohuzi's father, and is inevitably involved in their family's affairs.
The largest and most comfortable inn in Beijing, naturally "Wangshun", Yu Wenmingxuan and his party took a carriage to the door of this inn, and Xiao Er warmly received them to the hall on the first floor.
"The grass people have seen the idle prince."
The innkeeper is a man who has seen the world, I don't know where he saw the identity of Yu Wenming Xuan, or if he heard others talk about the appearance and characteristics of the idle king, so he saw him walk out of the counter at this moment, bow down and wave his hand at Yu Wenming Xuan.
Yu Wenming Xuan was stunned, about his identity, the people in Beijing should not know, since he was a child, he rarely walked around the street as an idle king, after leaving the palace to build a mansion, he was even more perennial outside the mountains and rivers, the people know him very well, not very much. Suddenly, he remembered that this year, Emperor Qinglan sat in the dragon chariot and routinely went out of the palace every year to have face-to-face contact with the people and understand the people's feelings, and suddenly realized.
It seems that the only time in so many years has he been riding a horse on the side of the dragon chariot this year. In this way, some sharp-eyed, rememberers naturally noticed his appearance.
"No courtesy."
The thoughts in his mind were straightened out, and he didn't hide his identity anymore, and raised his hand to say to the innkeeper.
His Royal Highness the Idle King?
Ming Gongzi is His Royal Highness the Idle King, and he is the idle prince of their Great Qi.
Qiaoxiu hugged Daddy Mu and his eyes widened in shock.
"Brother Moon, when are we going back to the palace, Ling'er is tired and wants to sleep!" It has been more than an hour since she left the palace, Princess Qingyang is indeed a little tired from shopping, looking at her tired appearance with blinking eyes, Yu Wenming Xuan smiled and said, "Settle down Daddy and them, let's go back to the palace." β
"Okay."
The county lord of Qingyang nodded obediently.
He is really His Royal Highness the Idle King, she heard it right. Qiao Xiu glanced at the county lord of Qingyang, then looked at the long white back, silently supported Father Mu, and followed the innkeeper and Yu Wenming Xuan to the second floor.
In the next two days, Yu Wenmingxuan did not enter the palace to play with the county lord of Qingyang, but was busy asking the doctor to diagnose Daddy Mu.
He didn't ask the imperial doctor to go out of the palace to treat Daddy Mu, the rules were there, he couldn't be special just because he was the prince.
Let the imperial history know, it is inevitable that he will be impeached in the early dynasty for these sesame trivial matters.
Although the county lord of Qingyang was born with a lack of mind, she is not stupid, she is just as intelligent as a six- or seven-year-old child, and she can never become mature like an ordinary person.
She is intelligent and sensitive.
Brother Moon was kind to the family, and the cute little baby called him Daddy.
It's been two days, and I haven't seen him come to the palace to play with her.
Did he go to play with the baby and not plan to pay attention to her anymore?
The county lord of Qingyang sat in the gazebo, tugging at the petals in his hand, pouting, obviously in a bad mood.
"County Lord, if you want His Royal Highness to be the King of Xian, the old slave and Ruan Cui will accompany you out of the palace and go to the King Xian's Mansion to find him?" Mama Gui glanced at the petals on the ground, and then looked at the bouquet picked by Ruan Cui in her hand, and with concern in her eyes, she whispered to the county lord of Qingyang.
"Looking for him, will he play with me?"
The county lord of Qingyang raised his head and looked at Mama Gui with blinking eyes.
"That's natural, His Royal Highness the Idle King likes the county lord very much, no matter how busy he is, he will find time to play with the county lord."
