Chapter 240: Great Joy and Sorrow (2)
Oh! That inexplicable thing really has a beginning and an end, and the other party really came to find him. At that time, Ruoxin was worried that Peony's intentions were unclear, so she dealt with a few words casually, and did not tell the other party that her surname was Han and not Shu. He thought, anyway, Brother Yan himself is in Luoyang, and when he meets in Luoyang, he can just say it to Brother Yan, and it will not have any impact. Who knew that Shu Yan had already gone to Dawan, and now he had to tell the other party the truth.
"That's what happened. But the sister I saw that day was not you. β
"That person's name is Peony, isn't it? My name is Chunlan, and we are from the same house. β
"I'm sorry I didn't make it clear to that sister named Peony that I'm not the person you're looking for."
"Quan Ruyin is just a filial piety to you, isn't it who you are? What's more, my peony sister went to your house in person, can it be wrong? Don't be verbose, come with me. I'm a little girl, what are you afraid of? β
Ruoxin thinks about it, the other party is a woman, and she speaks kindly and politely, not like a bad person at all, what are you afraid of when you go with her? If there is really an old friend of Shu Ah Gong in Luoyang City, it must be a good thing for Brother Yan. When the time comes, it is not too late to explain your real situation in detail.
"Of course I'm not afraid to go with you, but there is one thing I don't understand, why don't you use men to do things in your house, but use you two women to come forward?"
Chunlan chuckled: "Because the two of us are the henchmen of my master." My master didn't want outsiders to know about it. β
"Only use women as henchmen, your master is ......" Ruoxin was full of suspicions, the old friend of the Shu family must also be a famous Confucian, why only use two young women as henchmen? It's incredible.
Chunlan knew that the other party was suspicious of her master's character, so she didn't say much, but smiled slightly: "Don't be foolish, you'll know when you meet." β
All the way through the streets and alleys, Chunlan stood under a high wall, and said to Ruoxin: "That's it, when you are bothered to stay here for a while, I will go and invite my master." β
Ruoxin looked around for a moment and couldn't help but be surprised: "Here? Isn't this outside the walls of the Imperial Palace? β
"Exactly."
"Since it's the palace, how can your master live here?"
"Don't worry, the truth will be revealed soon."
After settling Ruoxin, Chunlan immediately entered the Cloud Dragon Gate to inform Zhixin.
After ten years of hard work, she can finally meet the sweetheart she has been dreaming of for countless times. This should have been extremely happy, but she was so frightened and apprehensive that she was a little flustered and overwhelmed. After all, the two have not seen each other for more than ten years. The more intimate the relationship, the longer the separation, the easier it is to have this fear - I am no longer the girl I was at the beginning, is he still the original Brother Yan? Can we still recognize each other? Between us...... m.
Zhixin blushed and heartbeat uneasily, but before she could think about it, under the guidance of Chunlan, she went all the way out of the palace gate. From a distance, I saw a person standing in the secluded corner of the palace wall. Wearing a scarf and a green robe, his figure is very similar to Brother Yan. She didn't care about any image, she ran forward quickly, and opened her mouth with two lines of tears: "Yan ......"
I called it halfway, but I took it back. The appearance of the person in front of her was not Brother Yan at all, but she didn't recognize this person as his own brother.
"You're not ......"
When the two sisters and brothers parted in life and death, Zhixin was sixteen years old and Ruoxin was only twelve years old. Now that more than ten years have passed, not to mention that there have been great changes in their appearance, they have all been deceived by the Shi family, and they all think that the other party is dead, so even if they all feel that the other party's appearance is vaguely recognizable, no one dares to recognize each other.
Ruoxin thought that the person she wanted to see should be an old man, but she didn't expect to wait for a woman in a gorgeous costume, which surprised him.
"This sister asks for forgiveness. I'm not the person you're looking for. To tell you the truth, my surname is Han, and my family is a world friend of Dr. Shu's family. Due to special circumstances, there is no Zhen school in my hometown, and my Shu brother volunteered to use his house as a Zhen school. I was teaching in his house as a teaching assistant, and I was mistaken for the Shu Yan brother you were looking for......"
Ruoxin didn't wait to finish speaking, but was interrupted by the other party's voice: "What, you said you...... Last name Han? What's your name? β
"My name is Han Ruoxin."
"RuoxinβRuoxin? Are you my brother Ruoxin? You're alive?! Zhixin's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You ......"
Zhixin's tears burst out of her eyes, and she held Ruoxin's cheek and said, "I'm your sister." Take a good look, I'm your own sister. β
"Sister! You're not dead? Are you alive too? Ruoxin screamed, cried with joy, hugged her sister and cried.
When the time shifted, Zhixin suddenly stopped crying and asked Ruoxin, "You are teaching at Brother Yan's house, what about Brother Yan?" Mother missing, is there any news? β
"Who said the mother was missing? After she learned the news that you fell into the water and drowned, she was remorseful and distressed, and she couldn't bear it, and passed away the same day. As for Brother Yan, he came to Luoyang a few years ago to join the court as an official. β
"Mother is dead, not missing? Brother Yan, did he come to Luoyang? Zhixin couldn't figure out what was going on, she was really a little confused, "Tell me what's going on?" β
Ruoxin told Zhixin about the series of situations: on the day of the capsizing, how she was rescued, how she was sent back to Shujiazhuang by Zhuge Warlock, and was told that her sister had not been rescued and had drowned; When I went home, I cried to my mother, but my mother couldn't bear the blow, and the old disease recurred and died; Shu's grandfather also died on the same day; After the expiration of the period of worrying for his mother and grandfather, Brother Yan was promoted to filial piety, and entered Luoyang as an official in the second year......"
Zhixin also told Ruoxin about her experience.
Only then did the two brothers know that the capsizing accident was man-made. From the appearance of that Zhuge warlock and lobbying them to go to Luoyang, to capsizing the boat, to forcing the eldest prince of the Shi family to marry, all this was a premeditated act. Coaxed the younger brother to say that the sister was dead, and coaxed the sister to say that the younger brother was dead and the mother was missing, just so that they would all die for each other and no longer worry about each other. At first, it was done by the eldest son of the Shi family, but later, the old lady also participated in it in order to keep Zhixin, her goddaughter.
My mother died because of this, and I parted with my sweetheart because of this! At this time, Zhixin's hatred for the Shi family has greatly exceeded the kindness of the Shi family to her over the years.
I can't wait to hate the Shi family, and I can't wait to miss my mother, and I haven't asked my sweetheart clearly: "Brother Yan, what official did he do in Luoyang?" Where is he now? β
"Brother Yan, he first became Shang Shulang, and then made the Chefu Order, and some time ago he went as an envoy to Dawan."
Shang Shulang, Chefu Order, Envoy Dawan? Isn't this Xiao Mo's sweetheart, her eldest brother Shu, Shu Shangren?!
"Brother Yan, he ......"
"Oh, by the way, sister, we are not the children we used to be, and it is not appropriate to call 'Brother Yan' like this in front of outsiders. As everyone knows, after the crowning, Brother Yan has his own name, called Shu Shangren. β
......
Zhixin bit her lip: How can she be so stupid! How can you be so careless!
I never dreamed that Brother Yan, who was haunted by my dreams, was Brother Shu, who Xiao Mo often talked about!
It's ridiculous that I've watched her and my sweetheart spend six years with her in the twilight, and when the eldest princess asks me if I believe in their innocence, I have a stupid attitude that doesn't matter to me!
Together, they face gangsters, face life and death; Crowning together; They eat in the same pot and live in the same eaves; They co-chaired the Yuanzheng Conference, eating and enjoying harmony; They planted vineyards together, worked together, played the flute and practiced arrows together......
Although I don't know if Brother Yan is emotional, Xiao Mo's love is as blazing as fire. Because of his casual words, she was not afraid of twists and turns and returned to her hometown to learn winemaking; She changed her ambition for him, regardless of the physical inconvenience of women, and endured it for many years in disguised as a woman, just to wait for him to naturally give up her career; When the water flowed in the upper stanza, she was so anxious about his drifting wine buds, so anxious to fight with herself, and recited the poem full of true feelings.
Zhixin suddenly understood why Xiao Mo had such a terrifying and resentful expression and such an almost desperate loss when he saw the plum blossom on his arm the day before yesterday, and called out his real name "Han Zhixin".
It turned out that she had guessed her own background.
But as he left,
She also left.
They went together.
......
Zhixin felt a wave of dizziness, as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Ruoxin helped Zhixin, who was about to fall.
Zhixin eased her nerves and held on.
Ruoxin smiled knowingly: "I know, sister, you are so excited, you found me and Brother Yan all at once today, you suddenly can't bear such great joy, right?" β
Zhixin smiled bitterly: "Ruoxin, you are my own brother, and being able to find you today is the happiest thing for the rest of my life." Brother Yan, he is an outsider, and it is enough for my sister to have you. β
"Sister, what do you call that? After so many years, Brother Yan has never let go of you, and he is still alone. When Brother Yan comes back from Dawan, you will also find a way to get out of the palace, you will get married, will we reunite as a family? β
Zhixin couldn't answer, only tears flowed uncontrollably.
Ruoxin didn't understand what her sister meant, why did she suddenly say such indifferent words to Brother Yan, but she didn't want to ask.
Chunlan watched all this silently from the side, she had suspected that her master was a person with a story. Now that I have listened to the words of the two sisters and brothers, I have basically understood the life experiences of Zhixin, Ruoxin, and Shu Yan and the relationship between them, and I am surprised by their strangeness, sympathize with their misery, and rejoice in their reunion.
However, this meeting was carried out secretly, not only from the eyes and ears of the people in the palace, but also from the Shi family. It is very dangerous for the two sisters to act so emotionally that it is easy to attract the attention of others. The master of his own house was so emotional that he couldn't extricate himself, but he was a bystander, so he couldn't help but remind her: "Don't be too excited, doctor, now your sister and brother are reunited, it is a great joy for God." The days are long, and I can help you get in touch in the future. Nowadays, you must be cautious and not careless, so as not to attract the attention of others. Otherwise, the bamboo basket will be empty, and it will be too late to regret it. β
Zhixin also knew the stakes, tried to control her emotions, and said to Ruoxin: "Chunlan is right, as long as you find someone, everything can be figured out." Now that you have passed the test and succeeded in one step, you are waiting for the next step of the evaluation, if you can really win a half-official position, it can be regarded as adding glory to our Han family ancestors. β
Ruoxin agreed.
"Where do you stay, it's inconvenient for you to find me, I can let Chunlan go to find you."
"I am currently in the cold and summer inn, and I don't know in the future. If you can't find me, you can ask the Taifu Temple Dragon Stable for help. Speaking of this, Ruoxin suddenly remembered and said, "Oh, by the way, sister, there is one more thing to tell you, which adds another layer of joy." Do you remember the Nguyen brothers and sisters of the South Vietnamese who met in our hometown more than ten years ago? β
"Brother and sister Ruan?" Zhixin thought for a while, "Is it the two Ruan Shan and Ruan Shui brothers and sisters who presented elephants to the imperial court?" They're our saviors. β
"That's right. It turned out that since they came to Luoyang, they haven't gone back, and they are in the Dragon Stable of Taifu Temple. Moreover, Brother Yan and Brother Ruan are in charge, and they want to marry Ruan Shui to me. β
"Really?" Zhixin recalled the scene when several people got together, Ruoxin and Ruan Shui were just hanging children, but they were quite close to each other. He and Brother Yan had a well-known relationship at that time. But now that their young relationship has been determined, he and Brother Yan are ......
Although Zhixin was happy about her brother's affairs, she couldn't withstand the pain in her heart after all. After instructing his younger brother a few words, he hurriedly went back to the palace with Chunlan.
Some people died, but not completely......
