Chapter 29: Generations
'New Year's Festival', also known as the New Year's Festival, is the grandest and most solemn festival of Dayin, the first day of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.
Children frolic in the market, and there are many traces of firecrackers in the snow.
After Yu Lian waited for Chunyan to leave, at the end of the day, she put on a light veil, a simple blue bamboo leaf satin jacket, and a golden and red feather satin cloak to go out, and deliberately walked through the backyard door.
She has never been dressed up deliberately, and even if she is wrapped in a cloak, she will sometimes attract the attention of passers-by.
She's more low-key.
Passing by Xuanhu Street, then crossing Suzaku Street, walking a small road, entering a large road, Xu Mansion is there.
This is the mansion of the Xu family for many years, and Yu Wende did not take it away.
There are many secret guards around the Xu Mansion who are watching, hidden in the shadows, Yu Lian is worried about her nephew, and she takes the risk to come to meet her, relying on her own strength to recover forty percent, plus there is a secret way to enter the Xu Mansion, it is enough.
She walked into Baoyuan Lane.
The first corner turns in, and the third house is an abandoned courtyard.
Climbing over the wall and entering, there is a dry well in the courtyard, which is pitch black, and it cannot be seen under the bright sun, which looks very terrifying to outsiders.
The girl looked down a few times, jumped down, there was a secret road in the well, and occasionally there was a fork in the road, and she walked to Xu's house with ease.
At the other end of the connection is a wing.
She walked out of the wing, there were no secret guards in the house to watch, so she put her mind at ease, the mansion was scarce of slaves, coupled with careful action, she didn't meet others, and after looking around, she found ten dogs in the Fenglan courtyard.
The young man sat under the verandah, his black hair tied up with a gilded crown, his face was obviously tired, his eyes were blank, staring directly at the bare branches in the courtyard, but his emotions had long since drifted away.
"Ten dogs."
The crisp and sweet voice woke him up, and when he turned his head, it was the girl named Yu Xianglian.
His eyes widened and he stared at her incredulously, "Why are you here?" ”
Yu Lian glanced at his side room and motioned to come into the room to chat.
The two of them entered the house together and closed the door, and Xu Jingyao continued to ask, "Why are you here?" There are people outside watching the Xu family, and you will be found if you climb over the wall and come in. ”
She took off her veil, walked to the Yuan Luodian chair and sat down, and said calmly: "Princess Zhaoyang told me the secret passage, I came in through the secret passage, your father was arrested by Dongchang, how is it now?" ”
Speaking of his father, Xu Jingyao was a little stunned, and his eyes dimmed a little.
Then he came back to his senses and was stunned:
"Yes, I don't know what's going on, Dongchang came to arrest him early in the morning, there was no reason left, I have been going to the government to inquire today, only to know that my mother is gone, the people in Dongchang suspect that my father did it, no one in the court dares to make friends with my family, I can't help my father, and I don't know where to find my mother, so I went back to the house to sit for a while, and you came."
Yu Lian couldn't see him like this, so she told the story that Chunyan and Xia Que had become her subordinates, and told her about his mother hiding in Jinchunfang.
"I was going to find a suitable time to discuss this matter with Xu Yuma, who expected that Dongchang would move one step faster, and when your father is rescued, we will go to Pengshan together, Princess Zhaoyang has told you about the situation in Pengshan."
Xu Jingyao changed her tone and sat beside her, her eyes shining: "My mother is where you are?" ”
She nodded.
He looked forward to it, smiled, and showed his cute little tiger teeth: "After rescuing my father, let's go to Pengshan together, and my aunt told me about that place." ”
There, my father didn't have to endure the strange eyes of others, he could reunite with his mother, and he would start practicing martial arts when he arrived in Pengshan.
Xu Jingyao cautiously added: "Will you also accompany us there?" ”
Yu Lian replied generously: "Yes, Chunyan and Xia Que will also go, in the capital, Tong Jingyun, Dongchang, Yu Wende and others will not let me go, in order not to affect Yu Mansion, I will use the method of fake death to escape, or get married." ”
"Marry?"
She nodded, "It depends on the situation, you don't have to worry about me." After a pause, he said, "Do you want to see your mother?" ”
Xu Jingyao nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I think, I haven't seen her for a long time." ”
Yu Lian touched his head, "You prepare, the people watching outside don't know the existence of the secret passage, I'll take you out of the Xu Mansion to Jinchunfang, although this move is risky, but it's okay for you to see your mother, and I'll send you back." ”
Xu Jingyao's face flushed slightly, and he got up and stood farther away.
Said shyly: "Okay." Men and women don't kiss, you don't do that. ”
Yu Lian clapped her hand, she was used to touching it when she was a child. She looked like an elder, and said earnestly: "I belong to the same generation as Zhaoyang, I treat you as my junior, you don't want to have it, otherwise I will tell your father and let him clean you up." ”
Xu Kangcheng restricts the rules and will not allow his son to like an elder and mess up the generations.
But now she has a moon-like appearance, and she considers herself an elder, Xu Jingyao has no sense of awe, knowing that she is afraid that she will like her, so she nodded in response, this Yu girl can't help but think too much.
Yu Lian found a set of Xu Jingyao's clothes to change into, disguised as a handsome young man and went out again.
Time is ticking!
The two of them crawled out of the dry well in the abandoned courtyard, and it was almost dusk.
The sunset has sunk for the most part, the glow is shining, and the cold wind is blowing, and it is rippling with a touch of tenderness.
Chunyan went out of the city suddenly, and Yu Lian took her nephew to Jinchunfang alone, both of whom were dressed in men's clothes. Xia Que was startled when he saw them, and hurriedly welcomed the people in, walking towards the sparsely populated backyard, "Miss, you and Xu Gongzi are here at this time, it's too dangerous." ”
Xu Jingyao is the son of Princess Huaining and is the target of key surveillance.
Yu Lian also knew the seriousness of the matter, and explained: "I saw that he was pitiful there, so I took him to the secret passage, and I sent him back when I saw someone." ”
Xia Que knew that she doted on Xu Jingyao, so she didn't say anything.
A few people passed by the corridor and walked to the innermost wing of the backyard, Xia Que knocked on the door lightly and twice, and said: "The path is warm and the grass is like a pile, and the mountains are more numerous, Princess Huaining, I am Xia Que." ”
There is a dark room in the wing.
The two agreed that as long as Xia Que came here and knocked on the door, and did not say this secret word, Yu Lan hid in the dark room and did not come out.
There was a 'squeak' and the door opened.
A few people went in and closed the door and latched it.
Yu Lan recognized her son at a glance and cried with joy, "Ten dogs, why are you here?" It's so dangerous outside, you still venture to come here, and what can you do if you are discovered by the people of Dongchang. ”
She was happy and worried, and tears couldn't help but welling up in her eyes. Xu Jingyao comforted: "Mother don't worry, the secret passage that I walked with Miss Lian will go back quietly later, and the people who are monitoring outside the mansion don't know about the secret passage." ”
Yu Lan glanced gratefully at the girl dressed as a woman, who had helped her a lot.
