Volume 4 [Eight Realms of Chaoyi] 298: He Mu presents heirlooms

That night, Piaoxue came to Fengtai Town alone, and found it according to the address Xian'er and Zimo said, wanting to visit his mother for He Lingyun. As soon as I stepped into the inn, I saw an ugly big man smashing inside, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er kept persuading below. But the big man was still angry, jumped on the table, and strived to remove the red silk hanging from the ceiling.

The red silk fell, pulling the big red lanterns hanging around. The red candle in the lantern was glued to the satin and was immediately ignited by the flammable satin. The red silk kept burning towards the big man like a fuse. But the big man is still unscrupulous in destroying it. Frightened, Xiao Er hurriedly brought cold water, and the east and west scoops kept splashing the falling flames.

The shopkeeper tugged at the big man's trouser leg under the table: "Oh! Uncle Zhu? My little shop can't even welcome customers!"

The big man turned his head down and reproached: "Xu Laosan, I asked you to demolish it, but you don't demolish it, and now I want to demolish it myself, and you are still chirping! Do I owe you money or what? Why don't you do what I say?"

The shopkeeper said with a sad face: "I didn't say that I wouldn't dismantle it, but I hung it up in the morning, and you have to dismantle it in the evening." I've been busy with your business from morning till night, I haven't done business for a day, can't you be accommodating, and will you tear it down tomorrow?"

The big man shouted in the voice of a male duck, "No!" This decisive answer was so forceful that the saliva spat out like nails and sprayed the shopkeeper's face.

The shopkeeper wiped the saliva splashed on his face with his sleeve, and kept pointing at the big man on the table with his fingers and said: "You, you! If people don't want to, you will be angry with me! If it weren't for the sake of the pork you have provided to me for more than ten years, I would definitely not care about this matter." ”

At this time, a voice came from the stairs: "Stop!"

Piaoxue stood at the door and looked up the stairs, and it was He Lingyun's mother who had just spoken out to stop her. Although she hasn't seen her for several years, she still retains a middle-aged figure. It's just that there is a sense of vicissitudes on her face, which makes this beautiful woman look a little gloomy.

Mother He slowly walked down the stairs and said to the big man surnamed Zhu: "Zhu Wen, don't make trouble! Even if you burn this place, I won't marry you!"

Zhu Wen threw away the red silk in his hand, widened his eyes and asked, "Why? What is wrong with me? I have pork to eat every day, and I will buy you whatever you want." You don't have to do any work at home, why do you dislike me so much?"

Mother He sighed for a long time: "Hey! I don't dislike you! I am now homeless, and I am taken care of by Brother Zhu." You are my benefactor, how can I dislike you?"

Zhu Wen was stunned, jumped off the table, strode over, stared at the round eyes and asked, "Then why don't you want to marry me?"

"Brother Zhu, you and I are not young in their prime, the children have reached the age of talking about marriage, we can't let the children laugh, right?" Mother He's words were obviously a metaphor for her own hardships, once He Lingyun ran away from home, which had already taught her a profound lesson. Now without her son's approval, she will definitely not sacrifice the mother-son relationship in exchange for comfort in her old age.

Of course, Zhu Wen is not stupid, he can make the pork business so big, and he also cultivates his son into a civil and military all-rounder, which is not something that a fool can do. He understood He's mother's distress, and it turned out that he was worried about being laughed at by his son. So he was relieved: "Oh! The children are already older, what do you care about what they do? My mother-in-law died early, and Zifeng has suffered a lot with me since she was a child. I haven't remarried yet, because I don't want Zifeng to see my stepmother's face. Now that the kids are older, it's time for us to think about ourselves!"

"Brother Zhu, I'm different from you, the reason why there is ...... between me and Ling Yun" Mother He didn't want to deceive such an honest person who loved herself with all her heart, and just wanted to confide in her heart......

Mo Na interrupted her words at the door: "Hmph, hum......" She cleared her throat, walked over and said to Mother He: "Mrs. He, I'm sorry, I'm a friend of He Lingyun, entrusted by He Lingyun, he asked me to visit you!"

As soon as He Mu heard that this strange girl was sent by Lingyun, she immediately asked excitedly, "Girl, how is Lingyun?"

"Mrs. He, don't worry, Ling Yun is fine now. He is now a minister of the imperial court, and he is entangled in official duties. That's why I'm going to visit my aunt first!"

He Mu said to Zhu Wenyan: "Brother Zhu, it's not too early, or you go back first." Tianming still has to take care of business. We'll talk about that later, okay?"

Zhu Wen smiled knowingly: "Since your son has sent someone to see you, then I won't bother." I'll come to see you tomorrow night after work!" After speaking, he turned his head and hugged his fist at Piaoxue and said, "Girl, if you need anything, just tell the innkeeper, you are Lingyun's mother's honored guest, and all expenses are counted as mine!"

He turned to the shopkeeper and yelled, "Xu Laosan, this girl's account is also on my head." If you dare to slack off, you won't be pulling the lantern next time, and I will burn your business!"

When the shopkeeper saw that Zhu Wen was finally leaving, he hurriedly greeted him with a smiling face: "Oh!

He Mu pulled the drifting snow up the stairs and came to the upper room on the third floor. Poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mo Na, the two sat on their knees, and He Mu asked Mo Na, "Girl, you and Ling Yun...... , married, right?"

Mother He's question startled Mo Na, who had just taken a sip of hot tea and almost spit it out. She hurriedly put down the tea bowl and replied to Mother He: "No, no, no, Aunt is too careful, we ...... , we are just ordinary friends!" Although she was very reluctant to say this, in front of Mother He, she was not easy to admit the relationship between the two. After all, he is a person with a history of marriage, and he is several years older than He Lingyun. I really don't have any confidence to be affirmed by He's mother!

He Mu smiled and held her hand, and said in a tone that had come over: "You don't have to hide it from me, no matter how you say it, I am also a person who is over half a hundred years old." You can call me aunt, it has proved that you and He Lingyun are definitely not ordinary friends...... Lingyun, is he unwilling to see me?"

Seeing that Mo Na couldn't hide it from Mother He, she didn't deny it again: "No! I think he wants to see you in his heart." Merely...... I'm a few years older than him, and I've experienced a few more lives and deaths than him. So I think I can help him untie the knot in his heart, but I don't know if my aunt has anything to say to Ling Yun......"

He Mu took off a pair of jade bracelets from her wrist and put them on Mo Na's wrist with her own hands: "Girl, although we met for the first time, you and I were separated by half a mask, and I couldn't see your face clearly. But I believe in my Yun'er, the girl he has a crush on will not be wrong! The matter between me and He Lingyun can only be resolved when we meet. If you have to give Yun'er a message, then you can go back wearing this pair of bracelets, and he will naturally know what I am going to say!"

Mo Na looked down at the bracelet on her wrist, this bracelet was emerald and white, with clear textures, and it looked like a precious thing. What's more strange is that the dark green color flows around the bracelet like a cloud, and from time to time it converges into a lotus leaf shape. A few red spots like goldfish sometimes burrow under the lotus leaves, and sometimes swim out of the lotus leaves in groups. This is obviously not your average jadeite material.

Mona asked in surprise, "Auntie, why does the pattern of this bracelet move?"

Mother He smiled and said: "This pair of bracelets is called: 'Lotus Hidden Tail', which is the ancestral treasure of the He family, and it is passed on to women but not men. It not only has the effect of nourishing the blood and soothing the soul, expelling poison and healing wounds, but also can save your life at a critical moment!"

"Save your life?β€”β€”" Mona was surprised.

"That's right, you just put two bracelets together, and you'll instantly enter the picture created by the bracelets. When your hands are separated, you will come back to reality from the bracelet. In a pinch, you can escape into the invisible, and when necessary, you can show up in time. Legend has it that this treasure is Daji's thing, the ancestor of the He family fled from the court song when King Wu was killed, and when he was intercepted and killed, he used this bracelet to get out, and then married a woman from the Western Zhou Dynasty. When his wife was pregnant, he gave this bracelet to his wife to have a baby, and since then the He family has been incense, and thus established the rule of passing on women not men. ”

Mo Na knew the preciousness of this treasure, and such a precious physical should be handed over to Ling Yun by Mother He. She tried to take off the bracelet and return it to Mother He, but she couldn't take it off. He didn't dare to use brute force, for fear of accidentally breaking this precious thing.

Seeing that she kept twisting her wrist, He Mu hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Girl, you don't have to try, you can't take it off without me helping you." ”

"Auntie, how can this be? The heirloom of the He family should be handed over to Ling Yun by Mother He, this thing is put on my hand, and I can't take it off, how can I be good?"

Mother He smiled and said, "Girl, don't you still understand? I am the daughter-in-law of the He family, and now I have passed on the heirloom of the He family to you, what does it mean?"

"No, Auntie, I can't accept such a valuable gift for the time being......

He Mu said: "This is not a gift! This is a token! If you like Lingyun, you should accept it gladly." Ling Yun's father died early, and I am the only one in the He family who can be the master. As long as I agree, the matter between you and Ling Yun will be decided! I raised him for sixteen years, and now that he has grown up, you should accompany him through the rest of his life. ”

Mo Na never expected that He Mu could see the relationship between the two at a glance, let alone that she was so open-minded and open-minded. I didn't ask about my age or my family background. In just a few words, he handed over such a valuable token to himself. This trust is based on the years of life experience of He Mu. Maybe He Mu already understood everything when she saw her for the first time. She looked at the pair of magical babies and felt a sense of responsibility in her heart. That is to take care of He Lingyun for He Mu.

Seeing that she no longer tried to take off the bracelet, Mother He smiled and said, "Girl, there is only so much I can do for you." Can you let me see you?"

"Oh, of course!" Morna removed the mask from her eyes, revealing her full face.

Mother He saw her peach blossom smile, beautiful and moving, and couldn't help but admire: "Beautiful! You are more beautiful than I imagined! Wu'er is really a blessing!"

Mo Na could tell from Mother He's smile that she liked her very much, so her apprehensive heart naturally let go: "Auntie, my common family name is Wen, and my single name is Xiao." This name is only called by my family, so you can also call me Wen Xiao directly!" Out of respect for Mother He, she also confessed her name.

"Wen Xiaoβ€”β€” hehe, okay! Seeing you so gentle and virtuous, I, a mother, am relieved. My clouds will be handed over to you in the future. When you visit, maybe I won't be able to attend. If you can call me mother for Ling Yun, my heart won't be too sad!" He Mu couldn't help but wipe away tears......

Mo Na understood that it was not that He Mu did not want to participate. How can there be any parent in the world who doesn't want to sit in the high hall and happily drink a bowl of tea that her son and daughter-in-law have personally toasted? The reason why she couldn't attend was obviously that she felt that He Lingyun would never forgive herself, so she regretted it. She immediately took the teapot from the table, poured a cup of hot tea, knelt in front of Mother He, and saluted with both hands: "Mother, Meng He's family carries love, Wen Xiao will definitely live up to his mother's expectations and take care of He Lingyun for the rest of his life." ”

Mother He happily took the tea and picked up Mo Na: "Thank you! I didn't expect that I would wait for this day." She happily drank the daughter-in-law's tea served in advance, and the relationship between the two became more harmonious because of this cup of tea and a mother's kiss......
