Chapter 205 Yuhua Temple(1/2)

The second son of the Xiao family has a fiancée. His Majesty personally gave the marriage. His fiancée is a girl dressed as a man. She once went to the battlefield with Xiao Jue and had outstanding military achievements. Now she is the first female marquis since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, Marquis Wu'an.

Overnight, the streets, alleys, restaurants and tea shops in Shuojing City were all talked about the same thing. Some people say that Mr. Xiao was really extraordinary, and his fiancée was obviously a powerful figure who was as good as a man. Some people say that he was not married to a good lady Shen family, but instead chose an ordinary woman with no background in his wealth. He was still such a person who did not abide by the rules and showed up in public. He really didn't know how to think.

No matter what the outsiders said, the Xiao family was still shrouded in joy. Early the next morning, Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing took Xiao Jue to the He family with the gifts they had packed up overnight.

There is no doubt that it naturally attracted a lot of attention from neighbors.

He Sui complained in his heart, only to think that the Xiao family had come too quickly, and before he could even ask Qingmei to go out to buy tea, Qingmei had no choice but to pour a few cups of hot water. The family sat in the room in a hurry and looked at the person opposite.

He Yan had just punched in the backyard. The Xiao family came in a hurry and she had no time to change clothes. So after Xiao Jing and the others sat down, they saw a young girl wearing a strong outfit for work, her hair tied into a bun, and she walked over while wiping the sweat on her forehead.

He Yan thought that Xiao Jue came alone today. When he saw it again, Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing were also there, and he was at a loss and looked at Xiao Jue. Without waiting for Xiao Jue to speak, Xiao Jing said, "Master He, Miss He, it's really rude to come to the door rashly today. Please don't be surprised."

"It's okay, it's okay." He Sui smiled. He didn't sleep all night last night. He sat in the yard in the middle of the night and watched for several hours just by looking at the sky. He Yan's marriage came too suddenly and felt it was unreal. Even if His Majesty gave the marriage, he was not sure. Everyone in the world said that Xiao Jue was a good match, but such a family was never from the same world as them.

Last night, he spent too short time with Xiao Jue, and he vaguely felt that General Feng Yun had no temper and was much better than Fan Cheng. But He Sui had heard of Xiao Jue's family situation. Now Xiao Jue has no elders, only his brother and sister-in-law. Xiao Jing is a famous gentleman in the capital, and he doesn't understand Bai Rongwei. However, when his daughter marrys someone else's family, he is always afraid that she will suffer a loss. Moreover, He Yan is spoiled by him. What if other people's family does not spoil her like his family in the future?

He Sui did not want He Yan to marry a wealthy family. As the saying goes, the principle of being a good family is equal. Instead of being favored and not valued by others, it is better to marry an ordinary family and hold her in the palm of your hand.

He Sui felt bitter.

However, the attitude of the Xiao brother and sister-in-law at the moment was somewhat beyond He Sui's expectations.

Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing were not vain people. They finally had a sweetheart to Xiao Jue. They were so grateful that they were afraid of scaring the girl away, so they were naturally considerate. Bai Rongwei also discussed with He Sui every detail about the marriage between the two families. Seeing that the Xiao family was so serious, He Sui put down the stone in his heart.

Being valued is always a good thing.

He Yan sat aside, without any place to get stuck. Fortunately, He Yunsheng went to school early in the morning, otherwise he would have stayed in the house and would have made things difficult for the Xiao family.

He Sui was also observing Xiao Jue. The couple in the Xiao family looked quite reliable. He Sui did not doubt how outstanding Xiao Jue was. It was just that everyone rumored that Xiao Jue was not close to women and was cold and ruthless, and didn't know what he thought about He Yan. He occasionally asked Xiao Jue about He Yan, such as what He Yan liked to eat, what he did, and how he performed in Liangzhou Wei...

Xiao Jue answered one by one.

He Yan: "..."

She was here like a complete outsider. When this kind meeting finally ended, He Sui tried to keep them for dinner.

"Don't bother Mr. He," Bai Rong smiled, "We have to go back to the mansion first and notify the relatives of the Xiao family of the matter. The imperial edict arrived in a hurry last night and there was no time to inform him. Today, I will ask my relatives and friends to have fun together."

"Then... I must come another day." He Sui smiled heartily.

He Yan: "..."

The rice jars in their house are not enough to make a meal, and there is only Qingmei, a maid. If you really want to keep the food, you will be afraid that the guests will wait for hunger and then serve a side dish. He Yan was speechless when he looked at Hesui who was very happy.

He Sui sent Bai Rongwei and the others out. When the neighbors outside watching the fun saw He Sui, they kindly cheered: "Oh, congratulations to Lao He for finding a good in-law!"

"Lao He is such a blessing. After raising a good daughter, why don't we have such a blessing?"

"Don't forget us when Lao He becomes prosperous in the future. When He Yan was born, I hugged her!"

He Yan thought to himself, if Miss He was here, listening to these jokes, he would probably be so embarrassed that his face turned red. After all, the iron walls were as strong as hers, and when he heard these words, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Jue and her walked behind, and Bai Rongwei and the others seemed to leave room for He Yan and the others to speak. He Yan asked: "Governor, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

Xiao Jue looked at her: "What?"

"I plan to go to Yuhua Temple on Lianxue Mountain to worship Buddha tomorrow." He Yan said with a smile: "Isn't this Mid-Autumn Festival? I heard that the Buddha spirit in Yuhua Temple is very spiritual, and many people go up the mountain to pray for blessings at this time. Yunsheng is going to school and his father is going to work. I will go alone. If you have nothing to do, you can go with me. There is no harm in worshiping Buddha."

She always thought that the meeting with Xiao Jue at night changed her life. Although the final fate was inevitably towards a tragic ending, she had taught her more courage before that ending. This courage continued to this day and achieved a fate with Xiao Jue. The fate was long and long, like the red silk hanging on an ancient tree, which was abandoned and trampled, but it would still be bent over by another person, and hang it again in a place that cannot be destroyed by the wind and rain.

How lucky.

"I'm fine tomorrow." Xiao Jue curled his lips, "I can join you."

"Okay!" He Yan said: "Then tomorrow, I will wait for you at the gate of Xiao Mansion."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xiao Jue laughing, and He Yanqi said, "Why are you laughing at?"

"Miss He forgot that she is a woman again." Xiao Jue spoke slowly, his eyes seemingly mocking.

He Yan understood and coughed lightly, "You and me don't have to stick to the world's perspective."

"You go to bed," he chuckled, "I'll pick you up tomorrow."

He Yan nodded.

...

The He family in the capital was full of joy and laughter, while the other He family was stagnant, and the mansion was filled with the gloom of storms.

He Rufei smashed the cup in his hand against the wall with a "snap".

The porcelain cup hit the corner of the wall, and the peony flowers on the cup were immediately split. The servant and maid in the room did not dare to show up, and stood there with their heads down.

Outsiders all rumored that General Feihong was cheerful and generous, and was not careful about the details. This is natural, but occasionally in the house, He Rufei would show his gloomy and violent side. Even the He family's servants were occasionally confused. Why was the general who was confident and majestic in front of outsiders and as dazzling as the sun in the mansion sometimes shone like a poisonous snake in the gutter, and his eyes and eyebrows were filled with depression.

"You all go down." He Yuansheng stepped into the door, used his shoes to pull the fragments in front of him, and asked the servants to go out.

The door was closed, and He Yuansheng sat down in front of He Rufei.

"Now there are rumors that you are going to fight the enemy in Huayuan. You are retreating thousands of miles away at night, which is completely different from the past." He Yuansheng took a cup of tea and took a sip. "I think you will be sick these days, so you should not go to court for the time being."

"Why is this?" He Rufei sneered disapprovingly: "Victory and defeat are common things for military affairs, just one military matter is nothing."

"Is that right?" He Yuansheng looked at him, "Then why have you been restless since you returned home last night? Is it because of the woman named He Yan?"

He Rufei suddenly looked up at him.

"She is not He Yan." He Yuansheng said slowly: "I have sent someone to inquire. I am just a daughter of a city lieutenant. I have no relationship with our family before. I don't know what methods I used to climb up to Xiao Jue and even made him a marquis. I turned around in the palace and scared you to such a look? Don't forget, you are General Feihong."

The speaker has no intention, and it is no different from sarcasm in the ears of those with hearts.

He Rufei's eyes sank and said, "Of course I know I'm pretending to be a ghost, but this is just a point. Someone was hyping outside that I am different from the past, and this woman named He Yan emerged. It's such a coincidence that she is dressed as a man and promoted her rank. Don't my father think it's too coincidental?"

"What do you want to say?"

"The woman named He Yan can't find any problem. She, a woman, dare not plot against the He family. Besides, all the insiders of the matter were silenced, except for the Xu family... Xu Zhiheng was as timid as a mouse and would not let go. His father, the woman named He Yan, was Xiao Huaijin's fiancée, and Xiao Huaijin was in the palace last night and had a lot of protection for this woman."

"You mean, Xiao Huaijin planned this matter?" He Yuansheng frowned slightly, "The He family and the Xiao family had no grudges in the past, why did he do this?" If possible, he was not willing to be an enemy of Xiao Huaijin. Even Xu Xiang, who was powerful in the court, had no choice but to deal with Xiao Huaijin, let alone that governor Xiao, could cut off the head of the court official's son if he had a disagreement, and there was nothing else that could not do.

"When He Yan was studying in Xianchang Pavilion, he was classmates with Xiao Jue." He Rufei's eyes were deep, "maybe he had already discovered the secret of He Yan's identity. Now we have defected to Xu Xiang, and Xiao Huaijin and Xu Xiang are not in the way, so we naturally have to deal with our family."

"We do things in a secret way..."

"Father," He Rufei interrupted before He Yuansheng finished speaking, "There is no airtight wall in the world, and there are eyeliners everywhere in the capital. Since we have been involved in the grudges between the Xiao family and the Xu family, we cannot be immune to it."

He Yuansheng sighed slightly.

He only wants to be cautious when doing things, and it is best that all the benefits are collected and others are responsible for the risks. Although there are countless benefits to boarding the boat with Xu Jingfu, they are also targeted by Xiao Huaijin, which is really a bad thing.

"We are already Xu Xiang's people, and Xiao Huaijin will not let us go. Since that's the case," He Rufei's eyes filled with murderous intent, "It's better to start first."

He Yuansheng frowned, "If you want to deal with Xiao Huaijin, don't act rashly."

"Who said I'm going to deal with Xiao Huaijin?"

"you mean……"

"Didn't they find a woman to pretend to be a ghost?" He Rufei spoke slowly, his eyes flashing, as if he had endless malice, "Let's start with that woman first."

...

He Yan did not expect that the appearance of the Xiao family made He Sui have the idea of ​​renovating the house. He had never thought about changing it. He Yan gave part of the money he had made to He Yunsheng and part of it to manage the Xu family's Fuwang, and he left some of it for future use. In addition, although he is a marquis, he does not have the imperial court and land, and he has also been fined for one year. Even if he is an official, he is still a clean official.

She originally wanted to go to the camp outside the city to see Wang Ba and the others. If Hongshan and his group knew that she was a woman, they would have been shocked. But they also felt that they had not thought of the right reason to go forward like this, so they should wait a few more days.

Now, I will go to Yuhua Temple on Lianxue Mountain to worship Buddha first.

The next morning, He Yan got up and changed into a long dress with a crab shell, green silk-carved dark flower. Thankfully, although the He family was not rich, He Sui was still willing to buy a skirt for Miss He. However, in the past year, He Yan has grown a little taller. Although he is still slim, he is not as weak as before when the wind blows. He looks much healthier. Qingmei picks out a little long hair and slims behind her head, while the rest is casually covered. He Yan looks at herself in the mirror and is still not used to it. When he sees Qingmei smile happily, "The girl still looks good like this. When she came back, the maid almost didn't know her."

He Yan thought, now that he really doesn't know each other anymore.

All the jewelry before was sold by He Yan asked Qingmei to be sold in a pawnshop. Now he couldn't find a hairpin. After searching in the drawer for a while, Qingmei found a wooden hairpin. It was probably cut by He Sui himself and it was not worth much money. He didn't use it together at that time.

"The girl looks good in this girl, and Governor Xiao is happy to see it." Qingmei said something.

He Yunsheng and He Sui left early, but they were very relieved of Xiao Jue. When they knew that He Yan was going to Lianxue Mountain with Xiao Jue, they stopped asking more questions. But maybe it was not that he was not that he was relieved of Xiao Jue, but that he was relieved of He Yan. After all, since he learned that He Yan had cut off the heads of two ukuleles in Liangzhou Guard, the eyes of the father and son looking at He Yan were very different from those in the past.

"Okay, okay," He Yan touched his head, "Just be as easy as you want." He Yan grabbed the bag on the table and smiled, "I'll leave first!"

She didn't ask Qingmei to follow her, after all, Qingmei walked too slowly.

The appointment was Chen Shi. He Yan didn't know when Xiao Jue would arrive, so he opened the door first, wanting to see if there was anyone outside. As soon as he opened it, he saw a carriage parked in front of his door. Fei Nu was driving a horse, and the curtain of the carriage was half open. Xiao Jue was sitting on the carriage reading a book.

He Yan was stunned, jogged over and asked him: "When did you arrive? Why didn't you come in?"

"Just just arrived," Xiao Jue put down the book in his hand, "I thought you were not awake yet, just wait."

He Yan climbed onto the carriage with a light carriage, Chiwu began to rush forward, He Yan sat down and rubbed his hands, "Have you eaten breakfast?"

Xiao Jue glanced at her and said nothing. He took out a mahogany box from a few small strokes in the carriage. As soon as he opened it, the fragrance suddenly became fragrant. It turned out to be a hot cake and a cup of sweet pastry.

"How do you know I haven't eaten yet?" He Yan was very moved. He was going up the mountain in the morning, and Qingmei had to comb her hair. He had already gotten up early. He Yan couldn't bear to ask her to cook for herself earlier, so he wanted to go to the street to buy two steamed buns at will before Xiao Jue came. He never thought that Xiao Jue was preparing so thoughtful.

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows, "The food in the temple is limited, I'm afraid you can't eat enough."

Seeing that he had prepared breakfast, He Yan didn't care about his jokes about his own food. He Yan was eating and chatting with Xiao Jue, "Governor, I heard that the Yuhua Temple on Lianxue Mountain is very good. In the past, there was a person who was very poor and his poor family could not open his pots. One day, he went up the mountain to chop firewood, and suddenly it was thunder and rain, so he hid in Yuhua Temple to shelter from the rain. At that time, Yuhua Temple was just a dilapidated temple. The name Huazi looked at the Buddha statue and said: Buddha, Buddha, please show me a way out. The old people in the family are about to starve to death. As a result, when he was asleep in the temple, he had a dream. In the dream, the Buddha told him to go home and dig a hole next to the well in the yard."

Speaking of this, He Yan went to see Xiao Jue's expression. However, this person just looked at her with a smile, neither in a hurry to follow or urged her, as if she was listening to an inconsequential gossip.

He Yan almost suspected that he had said something badly. If Wang Ba was here, the custody would have been extremely nervous about asking: What happened later? What happened later?

But at the beginning of the story, we naturally have to continue talking.
To be continued...
