Chapter 8: Reunion
A tall and sturdy figure walked majestically beside him, and after a moment, he heard a man's clear voice in front of him.
"Mother is well."
The old lady Zhou was very happy, and said with peace of mind: "Liulang is here, sit down quickly......"
Yao Yun couldn't help frowning, only to feel that this Lang Jun's voice seemed familiar.
She raised her eyes slightly, looked forward, and the jade hand holding the porcelain spoon and bowl shook violently, and the hot porridge spilled, burning her fingers red and swollen, and even more so hot that she trembled.
It turned out to be the sloppy and rude general under the red candle warm tent that night!
Today, he was wearing a royal blue Valerian auspicious cloud dark pattern brocade robe, with a dark olive green white fat knot belt tied around his waist, and his figure was quite handsome. The heavy beard on his face is gone, his face is neat and clear, and his eyes are like two pupils cutting water, he is really a handsome and majestic Shenwu general.
"Ah, sister, feed me ......"
Yao Wei's childish voice pulled her thoughts back, and she quickly lowered her head.
"Okay, Avimo ...... in a hurry"
Yao Yun tried to turn sideways and keep his head down, hoping that he would never notice this.
It's a pity that she didn't see it, Xiao Chengyu, who was sitting precariously in front of her, had already glanced here twice, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
A few days ago, Jiuniang happily brought silk brocade to him, and said that she made it herself. He could see the clue at a glance, although Jiu Niang's calligraphy and painting brushwork is good, but the skills of people who can draw such a clear bamboo must be higher, dexterous and exquisite. When he inquired, he learned that the painting was made by the newly entered cousin.
Yesterday afternoon, when he went to the old lady's house, he saw a little lady hurrying towards Qiyun Courtyard from a distance.
Mother Liu, who was beside the old lady, suddenly came to her side and said with a smile: "Mrs. Yao, the old lady is looking for you." ”
Yao Yun was stunned, knowing that he could not escape this catastrophe. She cleaned her hands, took a deep breath, and got up dignified to follow her.
The old lady Zhou took her hand affectionately and said loudly: "Ah Yun, come on, the sixth uncle has not returned home when you come to the house, this should be the first time you have seen the sixth uncle, and say hello to the sixth uncle." ”
Yao Yun bowed his head respectfully, squeezed out a delicate and innocent smile from the corner of his mouth, and said respectfully: "Sixth uncle is fine, the little girl is Yao Yun." I have long heard that the sixth uncle is the true hero who killed Beidi and drove the Tartars, and today I am fortunate to see it with my own eyes, and the little girl really admires and admires it. ”
Xiao Chengyu stared at her expressionlessly, and inadvertently glanced at her white and slender jade hands. The thought that these wonderful hands could not only paint coolly, but also did that kind of blissful thing for him, inexplicably fascinated him.
His face remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "Mrs. Yao is good." ”
The old lady Zhou has always disliked his indifferent and reticent attitude, coupled with the bad news that Beidi had abducted and brutally killed Jiang in the past, the ladies in Chang'an City who were close to him did not dare to marry him again. Now Princess Yongan is interested, but he still categorically refuses.
She said helplessly: "Liulang, Yao Niangzi is new to the city, she is not familiar with life, and she is also a poor person, you have to take good care of it." ”
Take good care, that's for sure. He replied loudly: "Mother relaxes, the relatives in my mother's family, Rokuro will definitely take good care of them." ”
These ordinary and ordinary words came out of his mouth, but Yao Yun felt that he heard something strange and unclear. Her heart trembled with coldness, the smirk on her face stiffened and she couldn't move, and her head hurt even more.
A Chongyang banquet made her tasteless and frightened.
In the afternoon of the next day, Yao Yun inquired that Xiao Chengyu had returned to Chu Yuyuan, she changed into a plain dress, deliberately smeared a dull and haggard makeup, carried a food box containing snacks, and went there angrily, deciding to take the blame.
Xiao An, a little maid in Chu Yuyuan, happened to be dozing off in the grass pile in the yard, and was suddenly woken up by a little lady.
"Xiao Langjun is fine, the little girl wants to ask to see the sixth uncle, and she bothered to ask Xiao Langjun to pass it on."
Xiao An yawned and came to his senses, remembering that this little lady was the person who had just met with the sixth master last night, and the old lady had specially told him last night, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly answered yes, turned around and walked to the house.
After a while, Xiao An ran out with a smile and greeted her warmly.
Yao Yun lowered his head slightly and walked into the room, and saw the handsome Langjun wearing a blue jade wide-sleeved robe reclining on the chaise longue, lazily and casually flipping through a military book, without raising his eyebrows and eyes.
She took a few steps forward, knelt on her knees, bowed respectfully, and said calmly: "Thank you Sixth Uncle for being willing to see the little girl, the little girl is very grateful." ”
She carefully opened the food box and took out the first layer of white jade cake that was as smooth as snow. Then she opened the second layer, took out a blue lake-colored embroidery bag, raised her hands above her head, and said earnestly: "Sixth uncle, the little girl is here to ask for sin today." At that time, the situation was compelling, and the little girl didn't want her sister and brother to be displaced and suffer from starvation, so she stole the silver taels and jade pendants of the sixth uncle. Please ask the sixth uncle to give the little girl some more time, and the little girl will definitely return the silver twice. ”
The man in front of him didn't reply, and casually took the bag she handed over. Xiao Chengyu weighed the jade pendant in the bag a few times, squinted his eyes and stared at the person below him, and asked in a deep voice, "Has anyone else seen this thing?" ”
She replied respectfully: "Back to the sixth uncle's words, the little girl was stolen by thieves before, so this little girl has always been tightly collected, and no one else has seen it." ”
"If I'm not mistaken. There are a total of 400 yuan in it, I don't know how Mrs. Yao will pay it back to me? ”
"Within a month, the little girl will be repaid twice."
Xiao Chengyu stretched out his big palm, touched her white and smooth chin again, and rubbed his hand back a few times, this warm and delicate touch actually made him a little in love.
A pair of pitiful brown eyes like a deer were forced to raise their eyes to look at him, and he smiled noncommittally: "I can forgive you, in fifteen days, eight hundred dollars, not a penny." ”
"Okay, okay, thank you Uncle Six." She could only agree for the time being.
Eight hundred yuan, if it is in Liangzhou, it is just a drop in the penny. But now in Chang'an, it is a large amount. She regretted that the beauty picture under the moon was twenty-eight points, and she only had about two hundred yuan of money left in her hand now.
When the little lady came out of the courtyard, his eyes became deeper and more fierce, and he immediately ordered someone to follow her secretly.
Although this little lady came from a humble background, the eyes that looked at him were firm and self-controlled, and there was no fear in her conversation and demeanor. There is also that single bamboo picture, the brushwork is vigorous, clear and powerful, and it must be a profound painting skill that has been taught and practiced by a master for many years.
