Chapter 51: Secret Conversation in the Pavilion
Zhao Xiaolin was taken captive for four or five days, and finally Yang Shucheng and the two rescued him, Zhao Jiayu was grateful, and immediately invited the two to the Golden Persimmon Villa as guests.
Xiong Songlin saw that he sincerely invited, so he had to agree, Zhao Jiayu let his niece ride on the horse, and there was one less horse, Zhao Jiayu decided to walk, Xiong Songlin saw him walking, and he also got off the horse, so except for the servants, the three of them led the horse.
Fortunately, not far away, there was a village in front, a group of five people walked into the village, hired a donkey, Zhao Jiayu rode on, Yang Shucheng rode on the servant's horse, Xiong Songlin rode his own horse, the servant walked and came in the northwest direction.
On the second day, he returned to the Golden Persimmon Villa, and the second owner Zhao Jiazhang and the servants had just returned from outside the mountain, and they were worried about the safety of their daughters, so they were informed by the servants that the owner of the village came back with his daughter, and two life-saving benefactors came together.
How could Zhao Jiazhang know that his daughter was not his own, so he hurriedly took the servants out of the villa early.
Zhao Jiazhang saw that his daughter had returned safely, and thanked Yang Shucheng and the other two young sons.
Hurriedly took the two of them into the Golden Persimmon Villa, entered the lobby and sat down, and made tea. Talking in the living room, I heard that Xiong Songlin is a famous family in Handan, Hebei, and I admired it even more.
Zhao Jiazhang instructed the servants to kill pigs and sheep and entertain guests. After a while, the dishes were cooked, brought to the table, a large table was filled, and the old wine was opened, and the Zhao family was full of joy as if it were the New Year.
After dinner, Xiong Songlin wanted to resign, and the Zhao brothers would not allow him to go again, so they insisted on keeping it.
In this way, I stayed for several days.
Yang Shucheng is with Zhao Xiaolin every day.
After this lesson, Zhao Xiaolin no longer dared to go to the back mountain.
There is a large garden in the Golden Tree Villa, which has rockery ponds, pavilions and pavilions, the key is that the area is particularly large, there are many trees, and the shade is deep and tortuous.
The two of them lingered in the garden, and the people of the Zhao family looked at it in their eyes, and they didn't understand it in their hearts.
Previously, Zhao Jiazhang was bent on finding a son-in-law, but his friend Niu Xianfu wanted to set Zhao Xiaolin as his son Niu Shiming, Zhao Jiazhang didn't like this kid, Niu Xianfu was just entangled, Zhao Jiazhang couldn't, so he had to play the guise of a competition to recruit relatives, so as to block the Niu family.
Through the competition, in the end, Liu Junyi of Shaanxi won, Zhao Jiazhang saw that the Liu family was also a wealthy family, which could be regarded as a good match, not to mention that Liu Junyi was also a talent, a handsome son, and he was very satisfied, and planned to fulfill his promise and prepare for their marriage in the villa.
Unexpectedly, her daughter refused to accept her father's arrangement and ran away from home, taking a lot of twists and turns.
Now, seeing that Zhao Xiaolin and Yang Shucheng are together all day long, and this Yang Shucheng rescued his daughter twice, Zhao Jiazhang saw it in his eyes and was very satisfied with him. Although his family is poor, he is also a sincere gentleman, and if his daughter suffers hardships in the future, he can let him enter the villa, why not.
Therefore, Zhao Jiazhang had this idea, and let this pair of children come and go, it is rare for the daughter to be willing, how can a father be dissatisfied?
At this time, it is the hot summer, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond are open, red and white, slim and elegant, and they are more and more delicate and bright under the cover of dense layers of green lotus leaves. The two sat on the Taihu Lake stone on the lotus bank to watch the lotus flowers. There is a breeze blowing, the lotus fragrance is fragrant, and the dragonflies are flying on the lotus flowers.
Sometimes, Zhao Xiaolin played the piano in the water pavilion, and Yang Shucheng listened to it with interest, and sometimes he couldn't help but step forward and try to play a song. Zhao Xiaolin pointed out on the side, although Yang Shucheng is the first time, he will also be in tune.
The Xiong Songlin Gongzi walked over slowly, he didn't walk up to the pavilion, just sat on the opposite side of the lotus pond, took out the jade flute, and played it according to his fingers, far away with the sound of the piano here.
This Xiong family is a giant family in Handan, this Xiong Songlin is dancing and jade, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is extremely elegant and modest. Yang Shucheng and him also cherish each other, and the three of them often play together.
However, Zhao Xiaolin had learned the lesson of the last time, and she didn't dare to go outside the villa, and the three of them were all playing in this garden.
This night, the sky was full of stars, Yang Shucheng couldn't sleep, he simply got up, it was the middle of the night, the villa was quiet, Yang Shucheng pushed open the door, and it was quiet everywhere, just the sound of wind and insects, and the fragrance of wild flowers.
Yang Shucheng walked alone along the winding path. The area of the Golden Persimmon Villa is large, and the slope of the valley is the range of the villa, full of dense trees and dotted with houses. Yang Shucheng walked slowly, without waking anyone.
Yang Shucheng stood under an ancient tree, and could see the distant mountains outside the village standing silently under the reflection of the moonlight, the stars in the sky were shining like jewels, the night was so quiet, and the people were so refreshing.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed.
There was an uninvited guest in the villa.
Yang Shucheng was immediately alert and withdrew to chase after the black shadow.
The black shadow was fast, as if it was familiar with the environment, and it ran forward at a rapid pace.
Yang Shucheng followed from a distance, not letting him find out, seeing what he was going to do?
I saw the black shadow go around the house, through the dense forest, and go straight ahead, as if to run into the garden.
Yang Shucheng followed, and the black shadow really came towards the garden without hesitation. Is there anything in this garden that is worth coming to this man in the middle of the night?
Run through the round door and into the garden. Yang Shucheng also walked in, the forest was dense here, Yang Shucheng hid behind the tree, and looked at the man and ran straight to the pavilion on the lotus pond in the garden.
This pavilion is a place where Yang Shucheng and the other three often play. I saw the black shadow man walk into the pavilion from the long and winding bridge.
There was a delicate figure standing in the pavilion!
Could it be Zhao Xiaolin?
Yang Shucheng couldn't help but be nervous, hurriedly grabbed the long sword in his hand, and looked forward. The black shadow approached, not moving, standing together, as if saying something.
It's too far away, there's a forest on the opposite side, so close to the pavilion that you can hear what they're saying.
Yang Shucheng ran half a circle along the lotus pond, came to the small forest, walked through the dense forest, walked to the edge, hid behind a big tree, and looked into the pavilion.
The two people standing in the pavilion surprised Yang Shucheng.
One of them is the wife of the second owner, that is, Zhao Xiaolin's mother.
With her is Zhao Jiayu, that is, Zhao Xiaolin's uncle.
On the lotus pond late at night, the two are together, why?
Yang Shucheng listened intently to what they said?
"Sister Zhen, you invited me here for this?"
"Yes."
Zhao Jiayu said: "It's rare that the two of them are in love, I think we won't interfere anymore, if Xiaolin is angry again, if she runs away from home again, I don't know what will happen?" It's so messy out there now. ”
"Hmph." Mrs. said, "I see that kid pretending to be honest on the surface, he saved Xiaolin twice, how can there be such a coincidence in the world." He has been haunted by this matter since he lost the last time he lost the competition. ”
"No, it's as complicated as you think."
Madame turned around and didn't answer, she didn't speak, and Zhao Jiayu didn't speak, so both of them were silent.
Yang Shucheng was also shocked behind the invisible tree, it wasn't that he couldn't sleep tonight, where would he be aware of other people's true thoughts?
After a while, it was the lady who spoke first: "Just according to what you said, Providence asked him to save Xiaolin." But this surnamed Yang has a poor family, so it is difficult to let Xiaolin go to his house to endure hardship. ”
"If the two of them become a good thing, Xiaolin feels that she will endure hardship, so let them live in Golden Persimmon Villa."
"Hmph." Madame snorted again and said, "You are generous." ”
Zhao Jiayu said: "The Zhao family is such a daughter, and the Golden Persimmon Villa will not be someone else's sooner or later." ”
The two didn't speak again, and were silent for a long time, but the lady spoke first: "Is it possible, you don't recognize your biological daughter?" ”
"Why don't I admit it? She had two accidents, and I didn't take people to look for them. It wasn't until I found her that I returned to the village. ”
"Alright, let's not talk about that." Madame said, "What do you think of this bear boy?" The family background is good, the appearance is also handsome, and the person is good, Brother Yu, haven't you seen it? ”
Zhao Jiayu said: "This Xiong Gongzi is good, a beautiful son, but Xiaolin and Yang Gongzi are intersecting in adversity, and their love has been secretly born, will she empathize and don't fall in love?" No, her stubbornness is committed, and I don't know what she will do. ”
Mrs. said: "Marriage matters, how can her little baby be in charge!" Think about it, come up with an idea to let her be with Gongzi Xiong. ”
"This ......"
Yang Shucheng stood behind the tree, in the silence of the night, and heard these conversations clearly. It is like a bucket of cold water poured on the body, cold from the head to the soles of the feet.
Yang Shucheng no longer listened to what they said, his footsteps had already slowly left, walked out of the grove, no longer walked backwards, dizzy, and walked towards the mountain from another mountain road.
After walking like this for half an hour, he actually walked to the back mountain, Yang Shucheng lost his soul and walked halfway up the mountain, there was no way, Yang Shucheng was hesitant, standing on the middle of the mountain, the mountain wind blew on his body, and even the whole body felt infinitely cool.
Yang Shucheng felt that his family was born poor, trapped in the countryside, unable to learn literature, martial arts, fame, and even revenge for killing his father.
What's more, the Golden Persimmon Villa is known as rich, Zhao Xiaolin is naturally beautiful and gentle, how many kings and grandsons in the world come to ask for each other, what credit does he have to rely on here, the reason why he was not driven away is also because he saved her twice, and if he wants to be delusional, he will not be laughed at.
Thinking of this, Yang Shucheng was disheartened for a while, and he had the heart to die.
