Final Chapter The Old Man Meets

Previous Chapter

Chun Yu's mind was blank, and she felt at a loss for a moment.

Chu Jinglian picked up the baby girl in the cradle, and then stepped out of the tent with an arrow step.

Chun Yu suddenly woke up, she pulled out the Liuyun Sword and ran out of the sleeping tent.

At this time, Chu Jinglian had already turned over and got on his horse and galloped into the distance.

Chun Yu shouted at Chu Jinglian's back: "Don't go, don't go!

Chu Jinglian didn't look back, and disappeared into the dark night with the baby girl in an instant. Only the sound of hundreds of Mongolian iron horsemen running and shouting on the steppe remained.

Standing outside the tent, her face was full of tears, she didn't know why, she just looked at the direction where Chu Jinglian disappeared in a daze.

In March of the 49th year of Kangxi, Princess Chunyu became ill due to long-term depression and finally died in the grassland. Kangxi was so distressed by the loss of his beloved daughter that he was so worried that he sent the bones of Chun Yu back to Gyeonggi and buried them in the suburbs of Beijing.

On the day of the funeral, the Beijing division was thunderous, and thousands of people were empty. Everyone wants to see what kind of pomp and circumstance the funeral of Her Royal Highness the famous princess is.

The common people discussed: "It's a pity that this pure princess is really a pity." So young, less than twenty-six years old. I heard that this princess has outstanding martial arts, swordsmanship, and was once ordered by the emperor to go to suppress bandits, why did she die just four years after getting married?"

In the middle of the crowd stood a man, about thirty years old, with arrow sleeves and a pale blue robe. He had a girl on top of his head, about four or five years old. I took a rock sugar gourd in my hand and ate it while watching the excitement.

The man stood in the crowd, not saying a word. Until the princess's coffin passed by, and the excitement gradually dissipated, the man stood there silent. Until it was dark, the girl above her head said unhappily, "I'm hungry." ”

The man smiled and said, "You're hungry." Let's go, Uncle will take you to eat. With that, he carried the girl and walked into the distance.

In the spring and May of the forty-ninth year of Kangxi, the man with the girl rode to a hill forty miles outside Yancheng. At the foot of the mountain, a wine flag flutters in the wind, with four big characters on it: "Ten miles of fragrance". Next to the wine flag, it is a small tavern.

The man gently placed the girl in his arms on the ground, then turned over and dismounted. The man walked into the tavern with the girl, and at this moment, a woman in her forties came out from behind. The woman was dressed in a floral blue dress and pants, and had a pair of bast shoes under her feet.

When the woman saw the man and the girl, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "This guest officer, are you eating or drinking?"

The man was just about to speak, and two boys ran out from behind, one about seven or eight years old, and the other about four or five years old. The two children gathered around the woman, chattering and arguing.

The woman said with some embarrassment: "This guest master, I'm really embarrassed. My two children are not sensible. Makes you smile. ”

The man smiled slightly: "It's okay. Bring me a pot of wine, two bowls of rice, and stir-fry two dishes. ”

The woman took out a greasy menu and handed it to the man, and said with a smile: "I don't have anything to eat in my small mountain shop." Master, do you want to see which one is more satisfying to your stomach? ”

The man glanced at the menu: "Just two dishes, plus a pot of wine." As he spoke, he pulled the girl and sat down behind a table by the window.

The woman took the two noisy children out of the door for a long time, and then went to the back kitchen to get busy.

After a short time, the women put the food and wine on the table. She wiped her hands with a towel that didn't look clean, and said, "Master, you use it slowly, if you need anything, just command." ”

The man pointed to the two boys outside the door: "These two are your children?"

The woman smiled: "It's my child." Not biologically, though. ”

The man frowned: "Then they are..."

The woman smiled: "They are the two orphans I picked up on the road, fatherless and motherless, strange and pitiful." And I have never had any children under my knees, so I took them in. ”

The man nodded and said no more.

The man and the girl finished eating, got up and left the table.

The woman stepped forward and said with a smile, "Fifty old money." ”

The man took a gold ingot from his bosom and placed it on the counter, then walked out of the room.

The woman was startled when she saw that it was gold. She picked up the gold and weighed it, and it was as much as a hundred taels. The woman ran out of the tavern in three steps and two steps and stopped the man.

"Master, what do you mean by this?"

The man glanced at the woman in front of him and said softly, "Sister-in-law, this is a little bit of my heart. I'm here to see how you're doing. Now that I see it, I'm relieved. ”

The woman looked the man up and down for a long time, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "You are Chu Jinglian, the master of the Qingtian Pavilion!"

Chu Jinglian nodded lightly: "No, it's me." ”

The woman looked a little excited, and kept rubbing the gold back and forth with both hands: "How is my house?"

Chu Jinglian hesitated again and again, and said softly: "Brother Suo Soul is dead. ”

The woman's body shuddered, and tears kept rolling in her eyes.

Chu Jinglian helped the girl onto the horse, and then turned over on the horse.

The woman wiped a handful of tears and said in a trembling voice, "When he died, did he look like a gentleman?"

Chu Jing raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "A hero who stands up to the sky!"

The woman laughed while crying: "Then I will be at ease!"

Chu Jing turned the horse's head, flicked the horsewhip, and walked away.

When the two boys in the courtyard saw the woman crying, they immediately stepped forward to comfort her. The woman hugged the two male babies, and her crying became more and more sad.

Chu Jinglian took the girl to the boundary of Yangzhou Mansion, and saw two horses coming slowly from a distance. The two horses came closer, and Chu Jinglian saw clearly that there was a man and a woman sitting on the horses. The man's white dress is like snow, and the woman's white dress is better than frost.

Chu Jing even pointed at the woman opposite the girl in front of him, and exclaimed, "Uncle, look." That aunt is so pretty!"

The girl's words attracted the attention of the woman opposite. The woman glanced at the girl, and a rare smile appeared on her face.

The man on the opposite side first arched his hand at Chu Jinglian and said, "Lord Chu Pavilion, I haven't seen you for many years, Shangguan Yunying is polite!"

Chu Jing clenched his fists and said: "Shangguan Gongzi, Zhuge girl, I haven't seen you for many years, Chu has been polite." I wonder how the two of you are doing?"

Shangguan Yunying smiled and said: "My inner man and I have been married more than three years ago, sometimes we live on Feiyun Island for a few days, and sometimes we go back to the Bird Forest for a while. In your spare time, you can travel all over the world and see the customs and customs of various places. Lord Chu Pavilion, what about you?"

Chu Jinglian smiled slightly: "I spend most of my time in Red Maple Valley, occasionally going out for a walk. ”

Zhuge Qinglin pointed to the girl in Chu Jinglian's arms, and said lightly: "She is your child?"

Without waiting for Chu Jinglian to speak, the female baby said crisply: "My name is Helian Shengnan, and he is my uncle Chu Jinglian." My father was Yoo Kyung-sun. ”

Zhuge Qinglin's eyes darkened, but they quickly recovered as before. She asked a little funny, "Your father's surname is Liu, your uncle's surname is Chu, why are you surnamed Helian?"

The girl was speechless for a while, and looked at Chu Jinglian with a blank look, not knowing why.

Chu Jinglian laughed in his heart and comforted: "Shengnan, you forgot, your grandfather's surname is Helian." ”

The girl suddenly realized, she turned her head and said to Zhuge Qinglin: "My grandfather's surname is Helian, and my surname is Helian." ”

Zhuge Qinglin smiled and stopped talking.

Chu Jinglian immediately surrendered his hand again: "The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow for a long time, and we will meet another day." Farewell!"

Just as Chu Jinglian was about to shoot the horse and leave, Katsuo blurted out: "Auntie, you are so beautiful!"

Zhuge Qinglin was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Katsuo and said, "Your mother is also beautiful!"

Katsuo's heart moved: "Auntie has seen my mother?"

Zhuge Qinglin nodded: "My aunt has seen your mother and your father. ”

Katsuo's face was covered with a hint of melancholy: "I haven't seen my mother, and I haven't seen my father. I've heard they're all sick and dying. Auntie, can you be my mother?"

Shengnan's words made Chu Jinglian, Shangguan Yunying and Zhuge Qinglin stunned.

Chu Jinglian had a tiger face: "Shengnan, what nonsense are you talking about? ”

Katsuo's face became even more gloomy.

"Absolutely. From now on, you will be my child. Zhuge Qinglin smiled, like the peach blossoms in March in the spring, and like the sun at the beginning of the morning, bright and warm.

Chu Jinglian and Shangguan Yunying were even more stunned.

Chu Jing waved his hand again and again: "How does this make it." Don't take your child's words seriously. ”

Zhuge Qinglin urged him to sit on the horse and came to Chu Jinglian's side. She gently stretched her ape arm, held Katsuo in her arms, and gently scratched Katsuo's little nose with the fingers of her right hand: Katsuo wants his aunt to be your mother so much?"

Katsuo nodded: "My aunt is a fairy sent by heaven and earth, specially for Katsuo to be a mother." ”

Zhuge Qinglin gently stroked Shengnan's little head melon with his hand, and said coquettishly: "You can speak." ”

Chu Jinglian looked embarrassed: "Miss Zhuge , you can't help it." Katsuo, come here, don't make your uncle angry. As he spoke, he deliberately pretended to have a seizure.

Shangguan Yunying looked at Helian Shengnan in Zhuge Qinglin's arms, and suddenly laughed: "What's the matter?" I'm a godfather, so let's hit the road together. ”

Under the reflection of the setting sun, the group dragged a long shadow on the official road. Occasionally, you can hear Chu Jinglian talking to Shangguan Yunying, as well as the sound of Shengnan and Zhuge Qinglin laughing. Shengnan was lying in Zhuge Qinglin's arms, his face full of happy smiles.
