Volume 2 Chapter 51 Listening to the Rain in the East
The next day.
After breakfast, the brother and sister each rode their horses and rushed to the Yueguo Mansion with the gifts prepared by Jiang Xue.
"I said Yun'er, I'm your brother, can't you really tell me?" Feng Zimo was still thinking about getting some words out of Feng Yun'er's mouth at this time.
"Brother, don't bother, since I promised Brother Luo Ling, I will definitely keep my mouth shut. Don't say it's you, even if it's Dad, don't try to pry my mouth open. ”
"Okay."
The Mansion of Chu is not far from the Mansion of Yueguo, only two streets apart, and it will be there in a while.
The brother and sister turned over and dismounted, Feng Zimo walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened, and a kind-looking old butler stepped out.
"Trouble go in and report it, Feng Zimo, the prince of Chu State, came to visit with his sister Feng Yun'er."
"It's Mr. Feng and Miss Feng, please come in. Feng Gongzi, my young lady has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
The old housekeeper welcomed the brother and sister into the door and took the gift from Feng Zimo.
"Where's your young master?" Feng Zimo asked.
"You'll find out in a moment." The old butler had a smile on his face.
I don't know why, Feng Zimo always felt that the old housekeeper's smile was very strange. Dark: You can't really make me guess right, right?
The old housekeeper took the brother and sister to the living room, where a girl in white sat there, she looked seventeen or eighteen years old, her figure was slender, her skin was as white as snow, and her appearance was as if it had been carefully carved, and there was no flaw to be seen. Among the women Feng Zimo has seen, only Huo Qiushi can compare with her.
"Miss, Mr. Feng and Miss Feng are here."
Seeing Feng Zimo coming, the girl stood up with a smile on her face: "Zimo, you are here." ”
When Feng Zimo saw her, his original doubts were instantly solved, he took a deep breath and said, "Miss Dongfang is good." ”
"Oriental...... Hello sister. Feng Yun'er also followed to the east to listen to the rain and say hello.
Dongfang Tingyu smiled and said, "Don't see the outside like this, please sit down." ”
The brother and sister sat down, and the old butler poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then withdrew.
Feng Zimo took a sip and said, "Good tea!" ”
"This is a good Longjing, I took a lot of effort to get it from my father, you can drink more if you like."
Feng Zimo put down the teacup, looked at Dongfang Tingyu with blazing eyes, and said, "Can you tell me whether you are Dongfang Tingyu or Dongfang Heng?" ”
The smile on Dongfang Tingyu's face disappeared, and he said: "I am Dongfang Tingyu, and I am Dongfang Heng, to be precise, Dongfang Heng is my brother, and I have been Dongfang Heng for ten years." ”
"Zimo, did you suspect that I was my daughter for a long time?" Dongfang Tingyu looked at Feng Zimo and asked.
Feng Zimo nodded and said, "I was already suspicious when I was in Tiger City, because you didn't have a little bit of scum, and your shoulders weren't as wide as other men. ”
"You're really smart."
"Oriental...... Sister, why do you want to dress up as a man and pretend to be Brother Ling? Where did the real Dongfang Heng go? Feng Yun'er asked. Frankly speaking, although she knew from Luo Ling yesterday that Dongfang Heng is daughter, she was still a little embarrassed when facing Dongfang Listening to the rain, she had a good impression of Dongfang Heng before.
Feng Zimo also looked to the east to listen to the rain, and it could be seen that he was also curious about this question.
Dongfang sighed lightly when he heard the rain and said, "Dongfang Heng is my brother of the dragon and phoenix, and our mother loves the two of us very much. If it goes on like that, I don't have to dress up as a man and dress up as my brother, but it's a pity that people don't want to. Ten years ago, when we were eight years old, one day my brother was naughty and secretly climbed on the roof to play, and was discovered by my mother, who asked him to come down. When my brother came down, he accidentally stepped on the air and fell heavily to the ground, killing him on the spot. My mother, who witnessed all this, fainted on the spot, but when she woke up, she became insane and kept reading my brother's name. ”
Feng Yun'er: "What about later?" ”
"In the next few days, my mother's madness became more and more serious, my father invited the best doctor in Jinling, and even begged His Majesty to send an imperial doctor, but they were all helpless, and my mother became a crazy person completely, forgetting me and my father, only remembering my brother. Then, my mother's illness even reached the point of chasing people with a kitchen knife. At this time, I came up with a solution, I put on my brother's clothes, tied my hair, and pretended to be my brother and came to my mother. My mother, who was originally manic, immediately quieted down when she saw me pretending to be my brother. Since then, as long as my mother can't see me dressed as a man, she will go crazy and slash people with a kitchen knife. Since then, I have been Dongfang Heng during the day, and only after my mother is asleep at night can I briefly turn back to Dongfang to listen to the rain. Gradually, the people outside also forgot that there was a young lady named Dongfang Tingyu in the Yueguo Mansion, and only remembered the son Dongfang Heng. ”
Feng Zimo said: "Then how is my aunt now?" Is it a little better? ”
"My mother passed away half a year ago."
"I'm sorry! I do not know. ”
"It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty."
Feng Yun'er asked, "Sister Dongfang, since your aunt has passed away, why do you continue to pretend to be Brother Ling?" ”
"In the past ten years, I have been with my mother as my brother, so the three years of filial piety should be the same. Zimo, speaking of which, I want to thank you, for you today, I turned back into my daughter for the first time during the day. ”
After listening to Dongfang Tingyu's narration, the brother and sister couldn't help but admire the stunning girl in front of them.
"Brother, you talk to Sister Dongfang slowly, I'll go out first." Feng Yun'er understood that it was time for the two of them to be alone next, so she took the initiative to get up and left the living room.
"Why do you like me?" Feng Zimo asked.
Dongfang Tingyu smiled and said: "When I first met you, I didn't feel anything about you, but after getting along, I found that I had a feeling for you that even I couldn't tell what it was, until this time I cut Wu, this feeling became stronger, and I completely understood that this feeling is like." I'm a straightforward person, and I won't hide any thoughts that I have, but will express them directly, so as soon as I get home, I pester my father to ask him to go to your house to make a marriage contract, because I'm afraid that you will be snatched away if you are one step later. Frankly, I don't think I'll succeed, I can see that you are interested in that girl surnamed Huo, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is also eyeing you. But try everything, what if it succeeds? Anyway, that girl is not by your side now, and I don't look worse than her, so I still have a chance. ”
