Chapter 194: See Yunsheng
This night at the Xiao family, He Yan slept very late.
This is not Liangzhou Guard, and there is a middle door between the rooms. Perhaps because he knew that Xiao Jue was next door, He Yan became even more nervous. I wonder if it was her illusion, but he always felt that Xiao Jue was much gentler to him now. For Xiao Jue, it might be a trivial thing to do, but for her, she could easily stir the most secret emotions in her heart.
He Yan turned over, but now she has a special identity. When she returns to Shuojing, everything about Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei are close to her, and it is a burden to be with anyone. Xiao Jue is already carrying the deep hatred of the Xiao family. If she implicates him again... He Yan took a deep breath and looked at the tent on his head. It was really not a good idea.
Her mind was filled with all kinds of complicated thoughts, and she didn't fall asleep in a daze until midnight. When she woke up the next day, it was almost noon.
She was stunned for a moment, turned over and sat up. She changed her clothes and opened the door. She was facing the steps in the yard. She was sitting a little maid of eight or nine years old, holding her face and looking at the ants in the corner seriously. When she heard the movement, she raised her head and revealed a round face that looked like a New Year's painting doll. Her smiling eyes narrowed into a slit: "Young Master He is awake!"
She patted the dust on her clothes and stood up and jogged towards He Yan. The child was too young and had short legs, so He Yan was afraid that she would fall.
He Yan asked: "You are..."
"My servant is called ginkgo," the little girl replied obediently: "The second young master asked me to take care of you, but if the young master didn't call me, I wouldn't go into the young master's house. When the young master woke up, I would go to the kitchen to bring breakfast."
Her voice was soft and soft. He Yan couldn't help but touch her head and asked, "Where is your second young master?"
"The Second Young Master went out early in the morning," Bai Guo replied with a smile. "The Second Young Master said before leaving. You don't have to be restrained. If you don't want to stay in the mansion, you can leave the mansion to do business by yourself and come back early in the evening." She thought of something and added: "There are silver notes in the wooden trunk on the table in the mansion's room. The Second Young Master said that the man could use it. If you have any other needs, he told me directly that I would report to the big grandma."
The little girl still had an uncontrollable tits, but she spoke with a sarcastic expression. He Yan laughed, "You are so young, how could your second young master ask you to serve me?"
"My father is in charge of the house," Bai Guo proudly raised her chest, "The second young master ordered me to come over, and I will definitely be able to take care of my good son."
"Then thank you." He Yan said with a smile.
Ginkgo was very excited, as if it was the first time he had such a major job, and replied: "Young Master is the friend of the second young master, so there is no need to say thank you to me. I will go to the kitchen now. Please wait a moment, and the hot water is placed in the silver kettle, right at the door of the yard. You have to wash your face and pour it directly. The second young master said that you don't like people to contact you, and you don't have to do these small things about pouring water to serve you." She stuck out her tongue and ran away.
He Yan looked at her back and thought to himself that Xiao Jue was considerate. He found such a little girl to come over, which was simple and innocent. Perhaps even if he saw something wrong with her, he would not think about it in other ways. If he changed to someone who was smart and clever, what if he accidentally discovered her identity?
She lowered her head and laughed, first went to the place where the ginkgo said, fetched water and went back to the house to wash it up.
Just after finishing the washing, ginkgo came in with the food basket. She stepped over the threshold and put the food basket on the table. "After the young master finished eating, just put the food basket here, I will clean up. If you need anything, I will come in again." Before He Yan could speak, she immediately retreated.
He Yan: "..."
I really don’t know how Xiao Jue told her.
The food was full of clear porridge and side dishes, just like last night, not luxurious, but it was exquisite and careful everywhere. After eating, He Yan put the empty bowls and plates into the food basket. After tidying up his clothes, he walked to the table and thought about what the ginkgo had said just now, and opened the wooden trunk, and indeed saw a thick stack of silver notes inside.
I thought that the silver notes mentioned in ginkgo were only one or two, but I never thought that Xiao Jue made such a big deal, and this little money was enough to give a betrothal gift to the girl's house. He Yan thought angrily, no wonder Xiao Jue went to buy clothes when he was in Jiyang, and he decided without blinking his eyes.
If you have money, you can do whatever you want.
He Yan did not move the silver notes inside, closed the wooden drawer and walked out of the door.
She had a good memory and knew how to walk from this yard to the gate of Xiao Mansion. She didn't meet Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing along the way. The other servants were greeted by Xiao Jue in advance, but no one paid attention to her, but just focused on doing what she had at hand. It was as if He Yan had appeared in the Xiao family, which was an extremely natural thing, as if she had lived in the Xiao family for a long time and was a member of the Xiao family.
He Yan left the gate of Xiao Mansion without much effort.
As soon as he left the door, he suddenly felt the sun was shining. He Yan narrowed his eyes and walked in one direction.
Before she left Beijing to join the army, she had already won a lot of money in Letong Village and asked He Yunsheng to go to the school. It has been a year and a half now. I wonder if He Yunsheng still studied in that school. It is hard for her to go to He’s house directly. After all, the neighbors all watched Miss He grow up, and even if she dressed in men’s clothes, she might not be recognized. The classmates in He Yunsheng’s school had never seen He Yan, and it was safer.
It was still time at this moment, and He Yan didn't spend much effort to arrive at the gate of "Helu Academy". Helu Academy is not as good as Xianchang Academy, but it is a good academic school among ordinary people. In the Dawei, which now emphasizes literature and martial arts, Yuelu Academy not only teaches literature and classics, but also teaches martial arts. This is what He Yan values the most. He Yun was born in studying and was enlightened a little later. He himself did not have the ambition, but his skills in boxing and footwork are not good. If he takes the path of a martial artist in the future, it would not be impossible.
It was early morning, and the best time to study, and the sound of reading came from Yuelu Academy. He Yan was not from the academy and it was difficult to go in directly. So he ordered a cup of tea in the teahouse outside and sat for about half an hour. After school, he took advantage of the time when the gentlemen left, and climbed over the wall and entered the academy.
From time to time, students who came out of school left the academy, He Yan was about to find a boy to ask where He Yun was. Before he knew it, he had already walked to the window of the school. From inside, the teenagers laughed, with some malicious jokes, "Brother Yunsheng, are you really not going with me today? Today is Brother Wang's birthday!"
Another person said, "Brother Yunsheng doesn't think of us? Look at us playing together. When will we meet Brother Yunsheng come together? Brother Yunsheng is so good at martial arts and handsome. He is so fond of girls like this. Maybe he can get along well in the future and become a prosperous person. Why do you want to hang out with us!"
There was another clamor, and He Yan frowned slightly. Such a joke was really hurtful. He Yun was proud and impatient, so how could he stand this? It wouldn't be a fight.
She was worried and secretly looked in. She saw a young man in green standing at the table surrounded by the teenagers. He lowered his head to clean up the books on the table, and never heard him say a word from beginning to end.
He actually endured such humiliation.
It was probably because he felt like he punched the cotton without any sound. The boys had a while and felt bored. They left the school in groups of three or three. At the same time, He Yunsheng packed up his books and got up and went out.
He Yan followed He Yunsheng from afar.
He Yunsheng entered an unmanned alley and walked a few steps. Suddenly, he felt a strong wind coming from behind. He subconsciously turned around and returned with a palm. The palm did not hit the person, but fitted with another soft but tough palm, quietly blocking his palm wind, making him take a few steps back easily.
"Who!" he shouted vigilantly.
The next moment, a familiar and smiling voice sounded, "Good boy, it seems that the school has not been in vain for more than a year, and I have become much stronger."
He Yunsheng was stunned when he heard this sound, and could not believe his ears. The palm in front of him was removed, revealing a human face. A face that looked a little similar to him, which appeared from his mind every now and then, a beautiful, familiar but unfamiliar face.
His sister...He Yan.
"You..." He Yunsheng's voice trembled.
He Yan slapped his head and rubbed it with the flow, "What are you, call me sister!"
"Why are you back?" He Yunsheng seemed to finally come back to his senses and rub his eyes. It was at this time that the young man had some shadows that He Yan had seen in the past. He stepped forward and grabbed He Yan's elbows, as if confirming whether he was dreaming or reality. "Are you really back? He Yan! When did you come back? Do you know that my father and I were worried so much this year!" His eyes turned red and his voice choked up.
He Yan looked at the boy in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. The boy was fast-moving. After a year and a half, He Yun was much taller than before. Now he had to look up. He was much thinner than before, and he looked tall and tall, as if he was already an adult.
He Yan grabbed him and walked out, "This is not a place to talk, come with me."
...
In the tea room, the exquisite pastries were placed in front of him, but He Yunsheng had no idea of eating them. In front of him, the man pushed the plate hard in front of him, "Don't you like to eat this? Eat more."
He Yunsheng stammered his neck and said, "I don't like sweets."
He Yan rolled his eyes in his heart, and didn't know who was drooling at the pastry that He Sui gave her when he went up the mountain to chop firewood. She looked at the boy in front of her. The child had grown up and knew how to protect his self-esteem.
It's strange that when she saw Li Su and Song Taotao were all children younger than her, but she always had too many concerns about He Yunsheng. This concern was hidden very well when she was in Liangzhou. When she saw He Yunsheng herself, she couldn't help but want to give the best to this child, hoping that he would be fine in the future. Perhaps because this body was because of Miss He, the wonder of blood ties lies here.
"You haven't told me yet why you are back?" He Yunsheng stared at He Yan and hesitated for a moment, "And, why are you like this now?"
He Yan looked at him with a smile, "Is this not good?"
He Yunsheng didn't say it was bad or good, and he just felt strange in his heart. He was used to seeing He Yan wearing a skirt and had seen him once in men's clothing, but even then, it was not as natural as this moment. If He Yan hadn't been his sister, if he had seen such a person on the street, He Yunsheng would have definitely not believe that this person was a woman.
He Yansheng is quite beautiful. Even when He Yunsheng had the worst relationship with her in the past, He Yunsheng could not admit this fact. But that little beauty always seemed a bit frivolous and cheap, especially when she tried every means to plunder He Sui's money to buy clothes and accessories for herself. Now He Yan is a little darker than that, almost without makeup. Rather than being beautiful, she is now more heroic. The cheerful and flying light makes her eyes as bright as stars.
In fact... it is also beautiful, even more attractive than before.
However, this is not the point at all. He Yunsheng came to his senses and said, "Are you still in the military camp? No, if you are still in the military camp, how could you run out?"
"Your sister, I am outstanding in ability and highly appreciated by my superiors," He Yan picked up the tea and took a sip. "When I joined the army, I was lucky to be a small official, and now I am less than the best."
"How can you be appointed as an official?" He Yunsheng was startled, "Don't you know that you are a woman? Even if you can hide it for a while, you will be finished if you are discovered in the future! No, no," He Yunsheng was anxious, "You resign quickly and resign tomorrow!"
He Yan looked at him with his head tilted, "You don't ask, are you the official who was named?"
"No matter what official you are, you can't stay!" He Yunsheng said impatiently: "Even if you are the prime minister, you can't do it. Besides, the bigger your official position, the more dangerous it is. Even for that little bit of glory and wealth, you can't afford to live. You must resign!"
He Yan was stunned for a moment, a little dazed.
How could the two masters of He Yun, who were in court, not understand what He family could not understand what they were doing? Li Dai Taozun, this was obviously an extremely dangerous thing. Once she was discovered, she would die, but the He family still asked her to do this, and she had been doing it for so many years.
It turns out that it is just... human nature is greedy and can't bear to give up that little bit of glory and wealth. Or, in their eyes, He Yan's life is just a bargaining weight, and it is worthless to have the future glory that may be won.
"Hey, are you listening to me?" He Yunsheng waved in front of her.
He Yan raised his head and smiled, "Of course I know what you said. The official must resign, but now is not the time. I still have something to do. I will resign after I finish the work."
He Yunsheng was about to ask her what was going on, but He Yan spoke again. She asked, "I won't talk about me anymore. What about you? How are my father doing these days when I am not in Shuojing? Have the people from the Fan family come to find fault?"
He Yunsheng's eyebrows and eyes were sunk and he said, "How could those bastards not find fault?"
It turned out that after He Yan joined the army, Fan Cheng's death never found the murderer, so the Fan family vented their anger on the He family. Although He Yan was also a "victim", it was because He Yan was not seen in death that he didn't even have a testimony. Fan Cheng's family often took trouble with He Sui on the field of the lieutenant, slandered He Sui for doing improper work, which made He Sui lose the lieutenant's yes.
Fortunately, not long after that, a merchant in Shuojing City wanted to hire a guard in the mansion. When he learned that He Sui was once a lieutenant and had good skills, he asked He Sui to work in the mansion. Although it sounded not as decent as a lieutenant, the merchants were generous and gave them a lot of money.
He Yan was a little suspicious, "The money is abundant, but aren't the things you wear all old clothes? What your classmates meant was that you didn't want to spend money with them."
He Yunsheng looked at her incrediblely, "You actually eavesdropped..."
"Shhh," He Yan smiled, "I just passed by and I just happened to hear it. You don't need to keep the money, can you save it as a betrothal gift for you?"
He Yunsheng didn't say anything. He couldn't tell He Yan that although his family was much more abundant, he discussed with He Sui that He Yan would come back when he joined the army. A girl's family was outside and she had suffered a lot, so it would be great to be able to live. If she came back, she would not get married and save more money. In the future, He Yan wanted to live alone in Shuojing and live a good life.
Seeing that He Yunsheng didn't say anything, He Yan thought he had guessed it and smiled, "Don't save that much? I'm a salary now." She took out two silver notes from her arms and whispered, "I won the battle before, this is a spoil. Your Majesty's praise. Take this money and go back to make two new clothes for your father and yourself. Be kind to yourself. People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. You dress better, and the girl you like will like you, right? Girls all like handsome people. Although you have a handsome face, you are not likable and have to wear clothes."
He Yunsheng held the two silver notes and after a while, he asked, "Have you won the battle? Have you gone to the battlefield? Which one? The battle between Jiyang Water War or Liangzhou Guards or Rundu?"
He Yan didn't expect that he was still paying attention to these things, and scratched his head and said, "Actually... I've been on all these events."
He Yunsheng gasped.
He Yan was in a hurry when he left, leaving only a letter. He Yunsheng later asked someone to inquire that all the recruits in Shuojing had gone to Liangzhou Guards. After that, he paid attention to the news about Liangzhou Guards at all times. He heard that the journey was long and many weak people died on the road. He prayed every day to hope that his mother in heaven would bless He Yan with peace and safety. He also heard that Liangzhou Guards were hard and hard to train, and only hoped that He Yan could be the leader. When Rida Muzi led his troops to Liangzhou Guards, he and He Sui did not sleep for a night. Later, they comforted each other that He Yan must be fine. She couldn't even bear the knife and was smart, so she might not be able to see the enemy.
The water battle in Jiyang... Rundu defended the city... In short, He Sui and He Yunsheng have lived a particularly difficult life since He Yan joined the army. If it weren't for the fact that the Fan family followed the clues and captured He Yan's whereabouts, the two of them would have to pack up their bags and rush to Liangzhou in person.
"Didn't I have someone bring a message to you?" He Yan asked.
He Yunsheng frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It has been two times, but it was very short, and he threw it into the house with notes. He couldn't meet you. I don't know what happened on the other side of you." Speaking of this, He Yunsheng was angry and anxious, "What did you think at that time? How did you think of joining the army? You are a girl's house..."
"No one said that women cannot join the army." He Yan was afraid of his nagging and cut off his words, "And you see, I am safe now? By the way, my father is no longer a lieutenant, and the Fan family is still harassing me?"
He Yunsheng shook his head, "A few months ago, the Fan family won't come." He said sarcastically, "We all admit that they beat and scolded each other. Maybe he knew it was boring to continue like this. I heard that the Fan family had another son, so I don't care about the one before."
He Yan couldn't help but be amazed. Mr. Fan is so old that he can still have a child in old age. It's really hard to know what to say.
"You go back with me." He Yunsheng looked at He Yan, "Dad will go home tonight. Once you go back, Dad will not know how happy you are."
He Yan shook his head, "I can't go back now."
"Why?"
"Yunsheng," He Yan looked at him patiently, "My current identity is very subtle. My neighbors have seen my face. If I am recognized... there will be trouble. Even if I want to meet my father, I will not be at home. Moreover, it is not a good time." She stuffed the silver note into He Yunsheng's hand, "I came here today just to see you. Seeing that you are doing well, I will feel at ease. You will tell my father that I am fine. After a few days, we will find a place to meet."
He Yunsheng felt a little wronged. He finally saw it, but he wanted to hide, as if he was shameful. But he knew in his heart that He Yan was right.
"What should you do?" He stuffed the silver bill backhand into He Yan's hand, "Don't you also want to use the silver? Take it yourself. And where are you living now? Are the inns? The inns are very unsafe. I heard that many black shops..."
He Yan was too lazy to push and push him around, so he stuffed the silver notes into his arms and said, "I still have a lot of them, a thick stack. You can use them whenever you want. You little kid will worry. I don't live in an inn now, and I'm asking someone to rent the house. Before that, I'll live in a friend's house."
"Friend?" He Yunsheng's ears stood up, he looked at her vigilantly, and couldn't wait to ask: "What kind of friend do you know in Liangzhou Wei? How old are you? A man or a woman?"
He Yan: "..."
How come this way, why does it seem like a father is inexplicably staying overnight? She thought to herself that if Xiao Jue's name was spoken out, He Yunsheng would probably follow her back to Xiao's mansion tonight - after all, He Yan still remembers what He Yunsheng said now.
"If I were a woman, I would only love him!"
