Chapter 225 Birthday
The military books still looked like the same as before, and it made He Yan return to the days when he first married into the He family.
However, after becoming blind, she never took out the military book. She thought that the book had either never been discovered or had been burned by Xu Zhiheng, but she did not expect that it would be back in her hands. However, how did this book come to Mrs. He Er?
"What do you mean by my mother giving me this book?" He Yan looked at Xiao Jue, "Would she recognize me, right?"
Before Xiao Jue could speak, He Yan immediately shook his head and denied it, "It's impossible. Even in the previous life, I met her in only a few times. My mother may not remember what I am like, let alone now." She smiled self-deprecatingly, "Why am I starting to think randomly now and think wildly."
However, when she recalled the moment when Mrs. He put the military books into her hands, she vaguely captured a little attachment and reluctance in the other person's eyes.
How is this possible?
Mrs. He Er has another daughter. Compared to herself, He Xinying has been following Mrs. He Er since she was a child, and she is the real pearl in her hand. Unlike her, she has never called her "mother". He Yan always thought that when facing the He family, she could already be as hard as iron. But when she rushed into Mrs. He Er's house, she saw He Xinying sleeping on the same bed with her mother. Even after getting married, she could have such intimate night chats with her mother when she returned home. It turned out that she would be jealous.
Think about it carefully, her relationship with her in her previous life has always been very dull. Her parents are like this and her husband is like this. Although it is already the business of her previous life, there are some regrets that are there and cannot be compensated for in her whole life. It is like the entrance of a cave buried by gravel. When the wind blows, it is still empty and shocking.
He Yan didn't want Xiao Jue to see his loss, so he turned his mind, "However, this military book now just solved my urgent needs. The notes I found in the Xianchang Pavilion were long and long, and He Rufei could also say that his handwriting changed later. However, this military book is not far away. As long as you carefully compare He Rufei's handwriting now, you will always find clues, and... it happens to be a military book, and God helps me."
Xiao Jue nodded, "When the time comes, the time will come, it will come in handy."
"He Rufei kept these letters, probably because he was afraid that Uttar and Xu Xiang would destroy the bridge, so he kept one hand and just kept it in the Linglong box to avoid any mistakes." He Yan thought, "I really don't know if he should be said to be cunning or stupid."
It was his suspicion that just fell into the hands of someone else.
"It's not safe for me to keep this thing," He Yan thought for a while and said to Xiao Jue: "You should keep it. No matter how bold He Rufei is, he shouldn't dare to go to the Xiao family to play wild."
She looked up at the sky. It was not long before it was almost dawn. Today was delayed for a whole night. "I'm going back. When it's dawn, He Ru should have sent someone to search the entire Shuojing. I'm afraid something will happen."
"I'll send you back."
He Yan nodded. Although he tried his best to pretend as usual, Mrs. He still weighed heavily on her heart. Although no one knew about her threatening Mrs. He Er to open the door for her at that time, who knew whether He Rufei would suspect Mrs. He Er. Even if she was a member of the He family... He Rufei was so cruel and ruthless, what about Mrs. He Er? He Yuanliang ignored the friendship between father and daughter at all. How much can the friendship between husband and wife be left?
"Don't worry, I will send someone to sneak into He's house and look at Mrs. He's second wife." It seemed that she could see that she was worried, "I won't let her have something to do."
He Yan looked up at him and breathed a little relieved, "So, thank you."
Even so, she still looked a little depressed. Xiao Jue's eyes flashed over her lightly and said, "He Yan."
"What?"
"In another two days, it will be my birthday."
He Yan said "Oh", suddenly reacted and raised his head, "... Then what do you want? I can buy it and give it to you."
"Do you have money?" he asked.
"Didn't you give me a silver note last time?" He Yan answered very smoothly. When he saw his expression, he smiled again, as if it was a bit wrong to buy gifts from others. "But... I only have the money you gave me."
"I am not good at embroidery female worker. It is impossible to let me embroider a handkerchief in one or two days. Why didn't you say it earlier? It's too late to do it now. Why don't I go and pick up a stone for you and use an axe to split it into the shape you like?"
When he was in Liangzhou Guard, Chu Zhao didn't sleep in the middle of the night just to pick up stones. Perhaps their rich young masters had such strange habits.
Xiao Jue's face darkened, as if he had thought of bad memories, "No need."
"Then what do you need?" He Yan approached him and asked. After being interrupted by Xiao Jue, her depression had relieved a lot. At least at present, she was sincerely worried about Young Master Xiao's birthday gift.
"I'm going to go to the night market," Xiao Jue glanced at her, "Take the silver notes with me. If I like something, you can buy it for me."
Now He Yan understood that Young Master Xiao Er wanted to enjoy the feeling of being spoiled, but in this way, he used to accompany the woman to go out to the night market and buy flowers, jade, pearls and hairpins for the woman. Why did he turn the other way around when he got to her?
"I didn't expect you to have such an incredible hobby." He Yan murmured in a low voice behind his back.
"What did you say?" Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows.
He Yan turned around and replied with a smile: "I mean, since it is our young master's birthday wish, we will achieve it for you as well as going to the mountain of swords and seas of fire. I just go to the night market. I will bring all the silver notes with you and buy everything you want. How about it?"
The girl's face was so close that she didn't notice the distance between her and the other party at all. Xiao Jue turned his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Yes."
...
After Xiao Jue sent He Yan back to his house at night, it was already very late. He Yan simply went up to bed and took a good sleep. When he woke up, it was already noon. Qingmei had prepared lunch. He Yan rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks and asked, "Qingmei, what's new outside today?"
Qingmei was helping He Yan Shengtang, and he spoke in surprise when he heard this, "Girl, how did you know something happened outside? I saw that you were sleeping soundly early in the morning and didn't dare to wake you up. When I went to the street to buy vegetables, I heard that General Feihong's mansion was thieves last night. General Feihong's house was lost. Now the city gate has been sealed, and the government is searching for suspicious people everywhere." After that, she muttered to herself, "But how could there be such a brave thief in the world who actually went to General Feihong's mansion to steal? Isn't this a desperate situation?"
She didn't know that the brave thief was sitting at the table, drinking the hot soup in the bowl calmly.
As soon as He Yan thought of He Rufei's panic now, he felt so happy that he even had to drink a few more bowls of soup. He Rufei's suspiciousness would have been a long time to come. No, it should be said that as long as those letters were not found, He Rufei would be in a pin and unable to sleep at night.
It's really awesome.
He Yan had a good guess, and the He Mansion was in a mess at this moment.
From last night to now, all the suspicious people in Shuojing City have been investigated, and they have not yet fallen behind. He Rufei's face looked extremely ugly, and the servants dared not touch his bad temper at this critical moment.
"Ru Fei, what should I do now?" He Yuansheng was extremely nervous. He had already vaguely guessed something that could make He Ru Fei find at all costs. This thing fell into the hands of others, and it was a handle to death, let alone the current situation.
"Don't my father find it strange?" He Rufei said coldly, "The person who came to the mansion was like a nobody, knowing everything in the mansion. Even if I know the secret secrets in my study, I can still open the Linglong box..."
"You mean, there are spies in the mansion?" He Yuansheng asked.
"It may not be none." He Rufei said.
"But now all the servants in the mansion have children, and not only you, the servants can't get into your study, let alone the secret lattice on the bookshelf. If there is a traitor... who would it be? Could it be..." He Yuansheng narrowed his eyes, "Do you suspect it is your second uncle?"
"He doesn't have the courage, nor does he have that brain." A trace of contempt flashed in He Rufei's eyes. He Yuanliang is even more useless now. Therefore, when there is something in the mansion, He Rufei is too lazy to call him. He Yuanliang is also happy and relaxed. He is not a person who can handle the matter. The only useful thing he has done in his life is to raise He Yan's daughter, and in addition, he is a waste.
"Then you doubt..."
"Uncle II doesn't have the courage, but second aunt may not be. Because of He Yan's affairs, I'm afraid I've long been resentful to us. Women have always acted emotionally. How could she hold a grudge and do anything unexpected?"
He Yuansheng frowned, "So, this woman can't stay."
He Rufei shook his head: "You can't act rashly now. If it's really her, it's easy to do it. At least you can follow the clues to find the mastermind behind the scenes. Moreover, multiple hostages are in our hands, which will be convenient for you in the future."
"But will there be any trouble keeping her?"
"As long as she is not allowed to leave the mansion, she will be left to watch, and it's okay to be alive." He Rufei said coldly: "It's just that He Xinying also returned to the mansion last night. On the day she returned to the mansion, there was a thief in the mansion. I don't know if it was a coincidence."
"He Xinying?" He Yuansheng lowered his face, "She is from the He family, and she dares..."
"Just just doubt," He Rufei interrupted her: "Let someone approach her and see if she really doesn't know anything. If the second aunt wants to keep He Xinying, she shouldn't tell her the truth. But Xu Zhiheng has been a little weird recently."
Thinking of Xu Zhiheng, He Rufei was unhappy again. Cooperating with such a fool is probably the most annoying thing.
"Leave this matter to me," He Yuansheng pondered for a moment, "You stay in the mansion and wait for news." He stood up and went out.
He Yuansheng left, and He Rufei sat alone on the chair, and his thoughts were hard to calm down. As He Yuansheng said, his first thought was that there was a traitor in the mansion, so he knew the path in the mansion very well, but he knew clearly in his heart that the secret lattice on the bookshelf in the study was not something that traitor could find, and there was also Linglong box.
When He Yan handed the Linglong box to him, he once said that no one could open the box except the brother and sister in the world. Later, when He Yan died, he was the only one in the world who could open it. Therefore, He Rufei would put several secret letters in the box. Just to make himself more at ease, he made another layer of mechanism in the box.
The reason is that I will never encounter this mechanism in my life. I didn’t expect that I could hear the whistle last night. The Linglong Box was opened.
Or, He Yan was lying at the beginning, and besides the two of them, there was a third person in the world who knew how to open the box.
Or...
Xu Zhiheng's expression of fear appeared in front of his eyes, and his voice was filled with indescribable panic.
"Yes... it's He Yan, she's back.... She's back!"
With a "bang", the teacup on the table was blown to the ground by He Rufei. He stood up and looked at the long sword on the wall. The green and green are green and quiet, and they emit a light luster. He pulled the corner of his mouth hard.
He is back...he is not afraid either.
...
The next day, the news of the thief in General Feihong's mansion was full of storms, but I never found where the thief was. The whole Shuojing City was full of chaos and was very lively. He Yan had a rare relaxing day, only drinking tea and sleeping at home, and he was a little surprised to see Qingmei.
Two days later, it was dark early that night, and it was not snowing outside. It was a rare sunny night. After He Yan finished washing, he planned to go out with Xiao Jue.
After visiting He Mansion at night, Xiao Jue told her that today is his birthday and he asked He Yan to accompany him to the night market. He made an appointment to meet at the door of his house. He thought it was not early and He Yan should go out.
Qingmei picked her a silver-red embroidered vine-texture shirt, covered her soft smoke-colored brocade dress with the same color, and carefully combed a bun with a flower-like hair, with its tail hanging down on her shoulders, which made her look a little cute. He Yan looked left and right in front of the mirror, and was quite uncomfortable, "This is a little too fancy. Today is Xiao Jue's birthday, not my birthday, so why should it be so grand?"
Qingmei put a pair of coral earrings on her ears and said with a smile: "But girl, you want to go to the night market with Governor Xiao. There are so many people in the night market, you will definitely recognize you two. Of course, it must be more grand, after all, you have to go out for people to see."
He Yan blocked her and tried to continue to insert hairpins into her head, "Okay, that's fine. I think the time is almost done, I'll leave first." After that, he wanted to pick up the rabbit-haired cloak placed on the box.
This cloak was originally from Miss He's box. Among the lady's clothes, the only one looked a little cleaner. Miss He probably didn't like this cloak very much, so it was pressed under the box. But this was the warmest piece that He Yan could find. Speaking of which, when he just woke up, He Yan looked at the lady's body with a weak body and could blow down with a gust of wind, but in her box, it was covered with dresses as thin as cicada wings, which seemed to be like winter.
He Yan picked up the cloak and was about to put it on, but Qingmei took it over.
"What are you doing?" She was puzzled.
"It's enough for a girl to wear this cloak, don't take this cloak." Qingmei looked at the rabbit-fed cloak in her hand, "This one is already very old and looks a little bloated. It doesn't look good under the lights at night."
He Yan was speechless for a moment, "But it would be cold if you don't wear it! I'll just wear this skirt and I'll be frozen to death. I can't even ignore my body for the sake of good looks."
But Qingmei, who has always been easy to talk, is very persistent today, "No, girl, it's more important to look good and cold. Besides, if you wear warm clothes yourself, what should you do if Governor Xiao?"
"What should I do?"
"You think about it," Qingmei was very tempted, "Aren't you two going to the night market? Governor Xiao will definitely wear outer clothes. The colder you are, the more you look weak, you need someone to take care of. Governor Xiao feels distressed when he sees it, he will take off his outer clothes and put them on for you, which will definitely be of great benefit to your relationship."
When He Yan heard this, he spoke incredibly: "What's this fallacy? If he gave me his clothes, wouldn't he be cold? We must have one of them frozen, what kind of grudges are there?"
"How can this be considered a fallacy?" Qingmei said with a sarcasm, "The men in the world will pity the gentle and weak women. Girl, do everything yourself, how can Governor Xiao realize that you need to take care of you? Don't believe it, this is what the Chiwu Guard told me in person. He is both a man and a close servant of Governor Xiao. He must know Governor Xiao very well, so he will do what he said, that's right."
He Yan: "..."
Is Chiwu sick? Isn't he going to do anything else all day long? A girl with good childhood sweethearts was taken apart. Is Xiao Jue the kind of person who cherishes beauty? Haven't you seen how many girls were wearing thin clothes in the mountains back then? There weren't ten or eight of them pounced on Xiao Jue, and there weren't anyone who gave him his sable fur.
"You are all nonsense and nonsense!"
Qingmei pushed He Yan out the door, "Anyway, girl, you can't wear this rabbit-feather cloak today, so you just listen to my maid."
With a "bang", the door was closed and almost hit He Yan's nose. He Yan was so amused and crying at this door, but it was not too early. If He Yun came back from school, if he knew that He Yan and Xiao Jue went out at night, there would be a lot of noise. He Yan thought about it, her body was even held by the wind and rain in Liangzhou Wei, and it was very strong, so that the wind would not fall down. In this way, it should be fine.
Thinking of this, he raised his foot and went out of the door.
By chance, as soon as he left the door, a carriage stopped in front of the door. Feinu was already very skillful as a coachman, so Xiao Jue walked out of the carriage.
Today, he wore a brocade robe with dark blue embroidered python pattern, covered with a black fox fur cloak, a sandalwood hairpin, and long black hair hanging on his shoulders. He was particularly elegant and elegant. When he saw that the lights were straight, his nose was straight, his thin lips were clear, and his eyes were as charming as autumn water.
He Yan swallowed his spits. In fact, with his own appearance, he stood here at the same time as Xiao Jue, because he was afraid that everyone would not be the one who cherished the beauty.
