Chapter 70: Reunion
He patted Meng Xue's head: "It's a pity that my uncle didn't see you when you were a child, otherwise he would have taken you to play every day." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Meng Xue said happily: "Cousin Shaoyan finally saw his father, how happy he should be." After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.
At this time, Ying Shaoyan was leaning on the head of the bed, with a happy smile on his face. The troubles that have been haunting him recently seem to have disappeared for the time being, and his heart is completely filled with happiness at the moment.
Ying Shaoyan's injuries healed quickly, but Meng Yu's skills did not recover. He sat on a big stone in the small courtyard of Ying's house, watching Ying Zhengyun teach Ying Shaoyan's swordsmanship.
Ying Shaoyan faced his father, but he was very shy, and he couldn't let go of his moves.
After a few moves, Ying Zhengyun beckoned Ying Shaoyan to rest for a while, and the two sat next to Meng Yu, and Ying Zhengyun said to Shaoyan: "You are really like your mother, you should go to study." Practicing martial arts is too much to let go. ”
Ying Shaoyan smiled embarrassedly.
"However," Ying Zhengyun turned to say, "Yesterday against that disguised person, your desperate posture is very similar to when I was young." is really worthy of Ying Zhengyun's son. ”
Ying Shaoyan listened to his father praise himself, a little shy, but very happy.
Ying Zhengyun asked Meng Yu with a smile: "How are your martial arts?"
Meng Yu grinned, hugged Ying Zhengyun's arm, and rubbed his head on his shoulder: "My nephew's main time is spent on investigating cases, so naturally he is not as good as Brother Shaoyan." ”
Looking at Meng Yulai's face, Ying Zhengyun burst out laughing, and couldn't help but recall Ying Xiuling's attachment to him when he was a child. He put his arm around Meng Yu's shoulder: "Kung fu still has to be practiced well, only kung fu will not deceive people." You also have to encounter a lot of dangers when you investigate the case, and you can only protect yourself with kung fu. ”
Ying Shaoyan looked at Meng Yu coquettishly with envy, he still didn't dare to get close to his father.
Ying Zhengyun straightened Meng Yu's body: "Shaoyan is still a little less domineering, but his hard work in martial arts did not disappoint me." This kid is dragged down by me, and he can't always take care of the family, he always has to go out. ”
Ying Shaoyan listened to his father's words, and wanted to burst into tears again, but he felt as if his father didn't like his sensitivity and fragility, so he endured the tears again.
"Uncle, cousin. ”
Everyone was startled and turned to follow the prestige. Meng Xue wore a light green shirt on her upper body and a long skirt printed with light yellow flowers in moon white, and walked prettyly.
Ying Shaoyan's face turned red, Ying Zhengyun had already seen everything in his eyes.
Meng Xue saluted Ying Zhengyun, then stretched out her white and tender little hand and took a cup of soup from Yahuan's hand: "Cousin, this is boiled by my mother herself, and I said that it would be good to let my cousin drink it while it was hot." ”
Ying Zhengyun heard Meng Xue mention Ying Xiuling, and for some reason, his heart still throbbed.
Ying Shaoyan took the soup from Meng Xue's hand: "Thank you, auntie, thank you Xiaoxue." ”
Meng Xue secretly glanced at him, but her heart was helpless and sour.
Meng Xue, like Meng Yu, has a natural sense of intimacy with Zhengyun, and is not very reserved towards his father like Ying Shaoyan. She already regarded her uncle as her closest person, and at this moment she couldn't help but say, "Uncle, you are finally back! Xiaoxue really doesn't want her aunt and cousin to not see her uncle for so many years." After so many years, I thought that my uncle was no longer alive, and my aunt and cousin had suffered too much. You were born and died back then, but you almost lost your life because of the court's struggle for power and profit, and you let your aunt and cousin live silently as sinners in Xiyuzhou for so many years, and you still ......"
Ying Zhengyun looked at Meng Xue, he liked this little niece very much, and after listening to her straightforward words, his heart naturally hurt very much. He asked kindly, "What else?"
Meng Xue paused, took a breath, and then said indignantly: "I also let my cousin be bullied!"
Ying Zhengyun was also touched when he saw Meng Xue fighting for Ying Shaoyan's grievances. He half-closed his eyes, as if he was talking to himself: "Children who don't have a father are naturally bullied." ”
This is the second time he has inadvertently said this. Ying Shaoyan held the soup and lowered his head. When he heard Meng Xue and his father talking about himself, he felt sad for a while, looked down at the soup bowl, and stopped making a sound.
Ying Zhengyun felt for a while that if it weren't for the lack of father's love for more than 20 years, Ying Shaoyan would not be as introverted and restrained as he is today.
He picked up the cloth towel on the wooden chair next to him and handed it to Ying Shaoyan: "Don't be too eager to practice swords, it's good to understand it slowly." Wipe your sweat and take a break. ”
Ying Shaoyan was finally able to bathe in the warmth of his father's love, and his heart was like being ironed by something hot, and his heart, which had been curled up by pain and depression, seemed to be caressed by a big hand and slowly unfolded.
Meng Yu frowned and asked, "Cousin, if you are injured, can you still send Xiaoxue?"
Ying Shaoyan handed the empty soup bowl to Yahuan Rou'er next to her, and Rou'er took the bowl and retreated silently. Ying Shaoyan said to Meng Yu: "You can't pull away, I don't want to delay Xiaoxue's big event." ”
Ying Zhengyun smiled: "Xiaoxue's marriage is naturally the most important, have you forgotten my uncle, I'll send Xiaoxue." ”
Meng Xue's face turned red: "Uncle, why are you mentioning this, I still want to accompany my mother more." ”
Ying Shaoyan heard his father's words, his face turned white, and he seemed to be a little disappointed. He actually changed his usual introverted and shy attitude, and said to Zhengyun: "Daddy, let's send it to the child." The emperor has just pardoned the child's sins, and he has removed the sin. The child has never been out of Xiyuzhou, and he also wants to go out to see the scenery outside and see the world outside Xiyuzhou. ”
Meng Yu looked at Ying Shaoyan from the side, and when he said this to his father, he was very calm. But Meng Yu was almost certain that Ying Shaoyan still wanted to spend more time with Meng Xue, and he was a little conflicted in his heart. Ying Shaoyan and Jiang Zhan, in his heart, one is a close friend since childhood, and the other is a cousin who is like a sibling, but his heart is always inclined to Jiang Zhan more.
No matter what, Ying Shaoyan is now prosperous in the family, and with his father and the Xiao family taking care of him, the emperor has also forgiven his sins, and his future is unlimited.
And Jiang Zhan, a young man with a disability in a middle-aged family, has to rely on his eldest sister who is not married to take care of everything, and he suffers a lot of hardship. And this disability was also left to save his sister. But both of them are his closest people, and they both love Meng Xue deeply, so he can't help but feel conflicted.
Ying Zhengyun did not answer immediately.
Although in order to avoid his crime of assassinating the Empress Dowager, he remained incognito for more than 20 years, isolated from the world, and no one even said a word to him for several months. But his extremely rich experience in the battlefield and world affairs since he was a child made him have insight far beyond ordinary people when he was young, and he had already seen the abnormality between Ying Shaoyan and Meng Xue. In his heart, he didn't want the child to repeat his mistakes. However, what he couldn't agree with Ying Shaoyan was that Xiao Dianxiu was also chosen by himself, and he couldn't delay this girl who had been waiting for him for so many years. Although Meng Xue is cute, he also cherishes it, but after all, she is too young, and she is a latecomer emotionally. The relationship between her and Ying Shaoyan is undoubtedly reprehensible in the hearts of orthodox people like him. However, he can understand the irrepressible burst of passion when feelings suddenly come, so he is reluctant to blame Meng Xue, and even more reluctant to blame his adult son who has just met.
