Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 116 Guo Sheng and He Jin 2
Wu Yong led the group to a gazebo, not far from the kitchen, where he rested every time he was busy.
And there is a stone platform and five stone piers outside the pavilion, which can be used as a dining table.
Wu Yong first asked them to sit down on the stone pier, and he went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.
After a while, Wu Yong brought various dishes, and the three brothers and sisters of He Miao kept swallowing their saliva.
After finishing the meal, Wu Yong smiled and said to Mother He: "It's a coincidence that Aunt came, just now the kid happened to finish serving longevity noodles for the old lady of the Guo family, and there happened to be a bowl left here, and Aunt also came to taste how it tasted." ”
When He Mu heard that there was a longevity face, she immediately smiled, although she didn't know what this face was, but when she heard the word longevity, she felt that it was not simple. So he smiled and said: "It's hard for you to be so filial, then my old wife will be disrespectful." ”
As she spoke, she took the longevity noodles handed over by Wu Yong, picked up the chopsticks, and stirred them a few times. Suddenly, the fragrance came to the nose, and people couldn't help but move their appetite fingers.
The three children on the other side couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, and began to compete with each other and eat a lot.
And He Lian, who was sitting on one side, was motionless, looking at Wu Yong with a sad face.
Since the two met at the gate of the manor, Wu Yong didn't say a word to her, which made her feel aggrieved and sad.
Seeing that Wu Yong explained to He Mu how to eat longevity noodles, he turned around and left. He Lian couldn't bear the misery in her heart anymore, and secretly followed Wu Yong while no one was paying attention to this, she must ask Wu Yong why she ignored her, otherwise she would have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.
Wu Yong, who didn't think she was following, suddenly disappeared after a corner.
Looking at the empty path in front of her, and thinking of her lonely life for a period of time recently, He Lian suddenly felt sad, and could no longer bear the grievances in her heart, so she squatted on the ground and cried.
In fact, Wu Yong is also very happy to see He Lian today, there are many people outside, and they are worried that being too close will bring criticism to He Lian. When he came to the pavilion, he was in front of He Mu, he had some scruples, and he was busy serving dishes, so he didn't pay attention to He Lian, and thought that he would call He Lian out alone for a while, and then talk about the love of sisters and brothers.
So when He Lian secretly followed him, Wu Yong thought that He Lian was in touch with him. I thought about hiding and giving her a scare.
But Wu Yong never imagined that He Lian would cry.
At a loss, he had no choice but to stand up by himself, gently walked to He Lian and squatted down, and said softly: "Why is Sister crying? ”
He Lian looked at Wu Yong, and asked with rain, "Why don't you ignore me today, don't you want to see me again?" ”
Wu Yong suddenly shouted: "The conscience of heaven and earth, a beauty like Sister A, I really wish I could see it every day!" ”
"Really?" He Lian also forgot to cry at this time, and stared at Wu Yong and asked.
Seeing that she was still a little skeptical, Wu Yong had no choice but to explain: "I didn't dare to get close to Sister A just now, because I was worried that outsiders would see and gossip, and now Sister Ah is alone, I am worried that Sister Ah will be hurt by gossip, so I deliberately distanced myself." ”
After Wu Yong finished speaking, he saw He Lian's soothing expression, so he stepped up his efforts and persuaded him: "If Sister Ah replies to me, I promise to take Sister Ah with me wherever I go, okay?" ”
He Lian shook her head, and seeing that Wu Yong was a little depressed, she couldn't help but comfort softly: "You take good care of yourself, and when I have been filial piety for three years, I will go back, okay?" Unless you drive me away, no one will want you and me to be separated! ”
"Sister, don't say these bad things, if I drive you away in the future, I will be killed by lightning immediately."
Wu Yong's gambling curse and oath finally won He Lian's understanding. The two men stood up, found a clean stone to sit on, and told each other about the recent events.
Wu Yong talked about learning to ride and shoot, and He Lian said that she made a set of clothes for Wu Yong and He Ye and He Cao, and brought them over tomorrow for Wu Yong to take home.
Wu Yong praised her ingenuity a few words, and then thought of something, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, why do you keep wearing this hat?" ”
He Lian was stunned for a moment, and then said with some grievance: "Since the villagers think that my appearance is a disaster, then it is better for me to cover it up." ”
Since that day she was accused of being a red face and a disaster, He Lian wore a hat when she came out and went in, and she would only take it off when she arrived at her home, and after so many days, wearing a hat has become a habit.
Seeing that she was a little depressed, Wu Yong joked: "Then Sister will only show me alone in the future, okay?" ”
He Lian was stunned for a moment, then her ears were a little blushing, and she glanced at Wu Yong with a white look, and then said coquettishly: "I won't show you either!" ”
Wu Yong was about to say something, and at this moment, there was a shout from He Jinsha not far away.
"Little Brother Wu, you made it easy for me to find, so you are hiding here!"
He Lian hurriedly stood up like a frightened rabbit, and waited for He Jin to walk in front of him, and then asked with some weakness: "Big brother is here, but is there something?" ”
"It's none of your business," He Jin waved his hand, then pointed at Wu Yong and said, "I'm here to find this brother of your family." ”
At this time, Wu Yong also stood up, stretched his waist, and asked with a smile, "What is the eldest brother looking for me?" ”
"Do you have any extra spice packets there?" He Jin was a little embarrassed to ask, and then he took out a bunch of money from his arms, and reluctantly handed it to Wu Yong: "This is the share I promised you last time, don't be too little!" ”
In fact, according to what he told Wu Yong, he gave 20% to Wu Yong, and the money was definitely not enough. But lately, there have been more and more rangers who want to follow him for a living, and he has to allocate a large amount of money every day to pay for everyone's daily expenses, and he still saves this money by trying his best to be frugal.
So when the money was given to Wu Yong, his heart was a little bloody.
Wu Yong looked at his uncomfortable expression, then glanced at He Lian who was standing on the side, and then reached out and pushed the hanging money back.
"What is the eldest brother doing, just a few packets of spices, it's not worth the money, just these days, I made a banquet for the villagers, and a few more packets of spices, if the eldest brother uses it, just take it!" If I give money, I won't give it, and there is no reason to hurt the relationship between the two of us. In the future, my sister will live in a good house, and I will have to trouble my eldest brother to take care of it! ”
He Jin was overjoyed, and immediately stuffed the hanging money back into his arms, and then patted his chest and promised: "Little Brother Wu, don't worry, if anyone dares to move a finger of Sister He Lian, I will definitely take someone to turn his house upside down, and I want him to kneel in front of Sister He Lian and kowtow to admit his mistakes." ”
"The eldest brother is serious, they are all villagers, and there is no need for this. Because my sister has to keep filial piety for three years, she won't go out on weekdays, let alone take the initiative to provoke others, so the eldest brother just needs to let these idlers not disturb my sister. ”
After speaking, Wu Yong took out a few spice packets from his arms and handed them to He Jin.
He Jin took the spice bag with a smile on his face, and then did not forget to promise: "Little Brother Wu, you can relax, leave this matter to me He Jin to deal with, if there is really someone who can't open his eyes and dares to disturb He Lian's sister's tranquility, I will find someone to break his legs." ”
All this was in He Lian's eyes, which made her move and blame herself. She now finally knows why He Jin has been taking good care of him, it turns out that it is her own brother who has contributed to it.
These spice packets, she also knew when she was in the Wu family, were not only valuable, but also difficult to buy. I didn't expect Wu Yong to give up so much for her safety, she really blamed Wu Yong just now.
Then I thought of Wu Yong's words "only show him alone", and suddenly a burst of sweetness rose in my heart, and looking at Wu Yong's eyes, I became more and more gentle.
Wu Yong was talking to He Jinzheng, and without admitting it, Guo Sheng took Guo Fei to find this side.
It was also that the three of them were too concentrated, and they didn't find anyone coming until Guo Sheng came closer.
Guo Sheng first glanced at the beautiful He Lian in surprise, and then laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be here, but it's so easy for me to find it!" ”
"Adults are looking for kids, but what's the hurry?" Wu Yong hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.
Guo Sheng waved his hand, "I'm here this time for this young ranger beside you, but it has nothing to do with you." ”
Then he spoke again: "I just came from the kitchen, and I saw someone looking for you, you go and see what is going on, don't delay the feast." ”
Wu Yong confessed, and took He Lian, who put down the hat and gauze, and rushed to the kitchen.
After Wu Yong left, Guo Sheng examined He Jin's whole body up and down before asking, "You are He Jin?" It's a bit of a look. ”
"Thank you for the compliment." He Jin often mingles in the market, and he is the best at observing words and feelings, he knows Guo Fei, judging from Guo Fei's respect, the person in front of him can only be Guo Sheng, the most influential servant of the Guo family.
Now the people know that the Son of Heaven is young, and he trusts the eunuchs around him the most, resulting in the power of these eunuchs being greater than the important ministers in the court, and anyone who opposes them will not end well.
Especially the few middle servants, they are even more glorious, and even the three princes can't be compared with them.
Therefore, He Jin was very cautious when facing Guo Sheng, and did not dare to say a word. But then, Guo Sheng's words scared him enough.
"I heard that you are now majestic, and the rangers in Guangming Township are the only ones who obey you?"
He Jin was excited, and he stammered a little when he spoke, "Adults, small people, small people and them are just selling mutton together." ”
"I don't care what you sell!" Guo Sheng was a little impatient, and then asked straight to the point: "Are you willing to do something for me?" ”
"Although the adults command, the small people can do things for the adults, which is a blessing that has been cultivated for several generations." How dare He Jin say a word at this time.
"You are very interesting," Guo Sheng nodded with satisfaction, then asked He Jin to come closer, and whispered in his ear: "In the future, you can help me keep an eye on Nanyang Taishou Chen Qiu and find out the evidence of his violation of law and discipline, and I will be rewarded." ”
He Jin looked confused, although he didn't know what Guo Sheng wanted to do, he could only obey orders.
After Guo Sheng finished speaking, he thought of something again, so he asked, "Do you know the woman wearing the hat just now?" Can there be a marriage match? ”
He Jin was stunned, but before he could speak, Guo Fei, who was standing on the side, replied first: "Her name is He Lian, Guo Lian's stepdaughter, Wu Yong's sister, it is said that she has never been married, but her father has just passed away, and she has to keep filial piety for three years." ”
"That's a pity, when today's son is going to do Yuan Fu next year, I also want to select a few gorgeous women from the township to the palace on an errand, if the Son of Heaven takes a fancy to it in the future, it will really be a black chicken to a phoenix, and the blessings of several generations of cultivation will be just around the corner."
After He Jin listened, he looked at the eldest sister He who was eating a lot not far away regardless of her image, and couldn't help but feel moved in her heart: Maybe I can send my eldest sister to the palace in the future.
