The Golden Bough and the Dog Verse 38

Not long after, Yun Yuan hid in the window and saw the peasant girl coming back, and said, "Maomao, why didn't she look at the doctor?" Let the doctor heal her face. ”

"The doctor is not a god, and they are helpless for some injuries."

"But the scar on the face can be cured, and the one on my mother's face has been cured, and now there is only a little bit left, and a little rouge will cover it." Yun Yuan swears.

"Your mother?" Tang Xian was surprised.

The two brothers and sisters of the Baili family are outstanding, she thought that Yun Yuan's parents must not be ordinary in appearance, and she never thought that her mother would be as broken as this peasant girl.

"What's wrong with your mother's face?"

Yun Yuan tugged at his fingers and said embarrassedly: "When I was fifteen years old, I got into a fight with others, and I was scratched in the face. ”

Tang Xian: "......"

Fifteen years old? Fighting with people?

Which one should she be surprised first?

Just looking at the layout and old furnishings of Lan Qinzhai, she always thought that the previous owner was a gentle and demure lady, but she didn't expect it to be such a different boudoir sister.

It is understandable that the mother who loved to fight when she was a teenager, and the father who was born in a bandit family, gave birth to an ambitious son like Yun Zhu.

Tang Xian thought about this family, and the more she thought about it, the more ridiculous she felt, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't that silly?" Yun Yuan saw her smile and followed silly music, her expression was still a little proud, "My grandmother said that my second brother and I were stupid, just because I followed my father and mother when I was a child, and they raised me stupidly. ”

Tang Xian hadn't heard anyone say this about herself, rubbed her fleshy face, and asked affectionately, "What about your eldest brother?" How is he not stupid? ”

Yun Yuan was rubbed into a slurred speech, and said vaguely: "Because the eldest brother was raised by his grandmother." ”

Tang Xian regretted: "It's a pity! ”

After laughing for a while, Yun Yuan grabbed Tang Xian's hand and said, "My mother has a scar on her face, but she is not ugly, so my eldest brother and second brother are very handsome." Maomao, do you want to meet my second brother? I'll teach you how to bully him. ”

Tang Xian nodded her forehead: "When your second brother heard this, he had to beat you." ”

When he was done, he said, "What's the point of bullying stupid people, if you want to bully, you can bully powerful people." ”

"Then you want to bully Big Brother?" Yun Yuan's eyes widened for verification.

Where does Tang Xian want to bully, she has already bullied.

Thinking of the clouds stopping in front of her, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but want to go up.

Tang Xian was ashamed to say anything about bullying other people's brothers, and touched the dagger hidden on her body. I'm a good girl, so I don't do things that bully the weak and fear the hard. ”

Yun Yuan hesitated, scratched his face, and asked, "Then do you want to go to my house?" My house is big, big, and there are so many people! ”

Tang Xian finally saw the clue, pulled her closer to her lap, and asked seriously, "What do you want to say?" Make it clear. ”

Yun Yuan was a child after all, she couldn't hide it, she smiled shyly, snuggled into Tang Xian's arms, grabbed her hanging green silk, and whispered, "Can you be my sister-in-law?" ”

“…… What? Tang Xian thought she had heard it wrong.

"Be my sister-in-law." Yun Yuan leaned close to her ear and repeated, "You and my brother are married, will you be my sister-in-law?" ”

Tang Xian heard it clearly, her heart was shocked, and her face and neck were red in the blink of an eye.

When she reached the age of 20, this was the second time she had been asked about her family directly.

The first time was when she and her concubine and before entering the palace, Lou Qianhe's intentions were too obvious, and Mrs. Tang was afraid that gossip would damage her reputation, so she frankly asked Tang Xian in the boudoir whether she had any intention of Lou Qianhe, and whether she had any intention of falling in love with someone.

Neither.

Tang Xian blushed and made it clear to Mrs. Tang.

At that time, the mother and daughter did not know the abacus of the grandfather of the Tang family, and Mrs. Tang crossed her fingers to tell the famous son in Beijing and let Tang Xian choose.

Tang Xian, who was young and carefree, didn't know how to love, and didn't choose any of them, and then she didn't have to choose.

After being promoted to the position of the mother of a country, Tang Xian never thought about love and normal marriage.

I didn't expect to be asked again without warning after so many years.

To be a sister-in-law to Yun Yuan is to marry Yun Xuan......

His ancestors were not from a good background, but they had a lot of teachings, and the purpose was to restrain the younger generations at all times, which shows that he had the heart to change and atone for his sins.

And his mother's broken appearance can still be husband and wife, which is enough to see that it is not superficial and only looks at the external portal.

Born in such a family, except for having a heart and a bad temperament, Yun Zhu did not touch the rest of his bad habits, and now he was forced by Tang Xian to retreat step by step, and he lost his majesty at all.

Be Yun Yuan's sister-in-law and marry Yun Zhi...... Tang Xian never thought about it......

A pebble fell from the heart lake that had been silent for many years, stirring up ripples on the surface of the lake, making Tang Xian unable to feel at ease.

Without waiting for the heart lake to calm down, Tang Xian's reason prevailed and she had already come up with an answer.

She can't.

There are many examples of widows remarrying in this dynasty, but there are almost no women who enter the palace who remarry, let alone women who have been queens who remarry others.

What's more, she was still charged with her grandfather's rebellion, and if she married her, she was not allowed to enter Beijing for three generations, and the nine clans were not allowed to enter the government.

Even if someone dared to marry, the royal family and courtiers would not agree.

She shouldn't have had any thoughts like that.

The established facts, no need to think too much, immediately decided.

Tang Xian had made up her mind, cut off the sourness in her heart, held Yun Yuan's cheek, and seriously refused at her: "No." ”

"Why?" Her reply was very different from what Yun Yuan thought, and Yun Yuan was anxious, "You don't like the eldest brother, you can like the second brother!" ”

"Neither." Tang Xian did not sort out the messy thoughts, but tried to recall in his mind that Emperor Rongxiao, who had only a few faces, and with all his might, he only vaguely remembered the dragon couch that he had been lying on for a long time.

In addition, there are only airtight and dark mausoleums.

She was angry and said solemnly to Yun Yuan again: "No, because I have already been married, and I have a husband." ”

"Huh?" Yun Yuan blinked dumbly, and the impatience on his face gradually turned into hesitation.

After being stunned for a moment, tears quickly accumulated in her eyes, her mouth grinned, and she cried aggrievedly with a "wow".

Chapter 33: The Peasant Girl

Yun Xuan squatted on the ground and cried, several times more aggrieved than being bullied by that bad brother, and the cry attracted the three peasant families and the guards.

Tang Xian's forehead was sweating, and she motioned to everyone in embarrassment that everything was fine, and asked everyone to step back and come over to coax Yun Yuan, "Marriage is predestined, this kind of thing is reluctant. Your two brothers are dignified, and he will be able to ...... one day."

As soon as she spoke, Yun Yuan, who had been about to stop, tilted her face and instantly turned into a howl.

The crying was deafening, and Tang Xian was close and bore the brunt of it.

She couldn't figure out what there was to cry about.

When she was told that she was going to marry the prince who had been hostile to the Tang family for a long time, she knew that she would be treated inhumane after becoming the crown princess, but Tang Xian did not cry.

Accidentally married to the old emperor, she was destined to be trapped in the harem, and she was lonely and lonely for the rest of her life, and she did not cry.

She shed tears only when she was separated from her loved ones and when she went to bed in the mausoleum.

The former is a blood relative, and it is normal for people to be sad and uncontrollable.

The latter is because she is alone in the grave, and she is afraid of ghosts and the dark. It's normal, not only girls, but also some big men.

Because of the pain, fear and crying, Tang Xian can understand, what is there to cry about marriage?

She can't be a sister-in-law, there is always someone who can, so take your time to find it.

Perhaps it was because of Yun Yuan's emotions, or because she couldn't help herself, Tang Xian thought about it easily, but there was still a sourness in her heart that she couldn't explain.

Because of this, Yun Yuan cried all night, and Tang Xian's spirit was all on her, and she no longer stared at Chu Yangshan worriedly.

After falling asleep that night, the small village suddenly became noisy, Tang Xian woke up in the middle of the night, came to the window in the dark, and was told by the guards who were keeping vigil outside that there was turmoil in the Chuyang Mountains, and the villagers were just awakened, and there was no major problem.

She looked through the window, but her eyes were so weak that she could only see a dim light in the dimness, like a mountain fire burning out, or like a full moon hanging high on the top of the mountain, which she could not discern.

Filled with the sound of the wind and the noise of the villagers, Tang Xian could neither see the distance nor hear the sounds of the mountains, and her heart hung high.

Waiting until the night faded, when he could see the white of the fish belly in the eastern sky, Chu Yangshan also regained his calm, and said mutely: "The son's side has been dealt with, and after dawn, it is time to go down the mountain, and the girl can rest in peace." ”

Tang Xian finally put her heart back in her stomach and returned to the couch to take a nap.

Because the night was almost sleepless, the next day, Tang Xian got up a little late, pushed the door out, and saw Yun Xuan sitting on a small bench with a messy hair playing with the puppy.

Seeing Tang Xian, she first shouted crisply, remembered yesterday's unpleasantness, and then "hummed" and pursed her mouth.

"Still angry? Your brother will be back in a while, and if you don't wash your face or comb your hair, beware of him laughing at you. ”

Tang Xian led Yun Yuan into the house to wash up, and when she combed her hair, she heard the little dog outside shouting, and when she looked out, she saw that it was a peasant girl who went out to pick grass and came back with a bamboo basket on her back.

Afraid of the guards, she leaned against the corner and almost stepped on the puppy in the nest, which caused the puppy to whimper.

Tang Xian saw her, remembered the incident of last night, and said: "There was too much movement in the mountains last night, and we have disturbed the people in the village in the past few days. ”

"I don't want to talk to my eldest brother, I want to say it yourself!"

"Why did your eldest brother mess with you?" Tang Xian is strange, how many days have people left, and not being around can still make Yun Yuan angry?

Yun Xuan puffed up and said, "The eldest brother can't find his sister-in-law, he has no ability, and I can't look down on him!" ”

"Uh......" Tang Xian understood, it was still the same as yesterday.

She had already made it clear to Yun Yuan, and subconsciously did not want to mention it again, so she paused for a moment and induduced casually: "At least ask your brother to leave more money for this family, and go back and let the peasant girl take it to the doctor, maybe he can cure his face." ”

Yun Yu didn't have a heart, and agreed sullenly.

.

Tang Xian knew nothing about the situation in the mountains, and when she heard the mute say that there was nothing to do, she expected that the problem should be completely solved.

After putting herself and Yun in order, she sat down in the room and wondered how to meet Yanxia, so that she could ask her what had happened in the imperial tomb.

After thinking about it, I always felt that it was difficult for her to move an inch.

However, Yanxia's injuries should have improved a lot, she has kung fu to get around, and if she came to find herself, it would be much easier......

"Whew-" Just as he was thinking, there was another low whine outside the window.

Tang Xian followed the sound and saw two puppies around Yun Yuan's feet, one with its tail raised high and its hind legs half bowed, and the other lying low on the ground, staring ahead, letting out a weak low roar from his throat.
