Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 206

Chapter 206

Yuhua Temple is full of incense, and many carriages have been parked in front of the temple.

When He Yan and Xiao Jue got out of the carriage, Feinu drove the carriage to the side and waited. Neither of them brought the maid and the servant, and they were both eye-catching. There were more people coming and going to worship Buddha. Take a look. Those who did not know people just looked at them. The family members of the officials who knew Xiao Jue guessed He Yan’s identity, but they didn’t dare to discuss anything in person, so they avoided it from a distance. .

The charter of worshipping Buddha is simple, ordinary people donate some sesame oil and rice, and wealthier families donate some silver taels. The Xiao family’s silver is not bad, and Feinu has long been prepared. If you receive incense from the monk, you will go into the temple and bow down.

Xiao Jue did not go in.

He Yan asked him why he didn’t enter, and he just said, “I don’t believe in Buddha.”

He Yan: “…”

They all walked to the gate of the mountain, and they said that I didn’t believe in Buddhism. This person is really arrogant and lawless. However, if you believe in this kind of thing, you will not believe it or not, and you cannot force Xiao Jue to worship Buddha. She let Xiao Jue stay outside and entered the hall by herself.

He Yan knelt down on the futon, and the golden Buddha statue that she had made up for the prosperous businessmen compassionately looked down on sentient beings. She bowed her head piously, said in her heart, she didn’t ask for anything else. Pray that those who have been harmed by He Rufei and tired of themselves can reincarnate earlier and be safe and healthy in the next life without disaster.

After finishing the incense and lighting the long light, He Yan left the hall door. Xiao Jue waited for her in front of the hall door. Seeing her coming out, he asked casually: “What wish did you make?”

“I hope there will be no more wars in the world,” He Yan put his hands together, pretending to say, “I hope the prosperity is peaceful, you and I can relax.”

This is not false. The Utuo’s affairs have not yet been resolved. I heard that the main battle and the main peace at the court are still arguing, and there is still no result.

Donated incense money, worshipped Buddha, and can also eat a fast meal in the temple. Yuhua Temple’s fast food is also a must, but when He Yan came last time he was blind and heartbroken. Even Shanzhen was tasteless, and he had forgotten what it was like. Now when he thinks about it, he has some expectations.

The guest house for the vegetarian meal has to pass the ancient trees behind the Yuhua Temple. When you pass by the ancient trees, you can see the huge ancient trees rooted next to the mountain temple. The branches are vast like clouds and fog. When I got close, I could see that the red on the top was all red silk, and the handwriting was written on the red silk, which is probably the wish of the writer. It is said that if you hang your wish on the ancient tree, the ancient tree will manifest itself.

He Yan thought that he had hung red silk here, and couldn’t help but stop.

“This ancient tree is very spiritual.” She said to Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue said leisurely: “Are you going to make up a story again?”

“No, it’s really spiritual.” He Yan smiled and thought to herself, she hung a wish on the tree in her previous life, hoping to see the moon again, when she wrote this line on the red silk. I feel that it is idiotic to talk about dreams. Not to mention the moon, her eyes can see the light again. This alone sounds incredible.

However, just when it was impossible, even after she died, she could be reborn in a desperate place again, and she saw the “moon” again.

“I will have more money in the future,” He Yan said, “I will buy a lot of fertilizer and water this old tree specifically to show my gratitude and sincerity.”

Xiao Jue choked, “Your sincerity is really different.”

The guesthouse of Yuhua Temple is a little in front of the courtyard where the monks live in the back. Homes that donate less, many people eat in one place, and homes that donate more have a dedicated yard, which is about one house per household, with fewer people and a more elegant environment.

Although somewhat speechless about this kind of discrimination, it is a good thing that there are fewer people now. He Yan is not willing to eat a fast food and be watched by everyone secretly. Now, because of Emperor Wenxuan’s marriage gift, appearing in front of the world with Xiao Jue, it also takes a lot of courage for her. Even though he was once a man of the world, at that time there was a mask to cover it, but now there is no half of it. It looks like a white peacock transported by a sea merchant from a foreign country. Everyone has to look at it and talk about it.

I sat down in the guest house. Not long after, the monks in Tsing Yi brought many plates of vegetarian dishes, which were very rich, such as steamed white jade bergamot, sweet and sour bitter gourd, steamed winter melon with wild pepper, purple-clothed potato cake, fairy tofu… …The mountain is much colder than the mountain. I drove the mountain road all morning, and I was hungry. The hot food was in front of him. He Yan couldn’t help but appetite. He gave Xiao Jue a pair of chopsticks, and said: “Essence oil The money is not in vain… the governor, if I don’t have enough food, can I ask for another one?”

Xiao Jue: “…”

He said: “Whatever.”

He Yan was not polite. She was eating heroically. In contrast, Xiao Jue’s eating style was much more gentle and elegant. Not long after she started eating, the door of this guesthouse was knocked, and a monk led them again. People come in.

For wealthy households like them, the dining room is small and exquisite, usually enough for one family, but today’s weather is good, and it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are so many pilgrims who come to Yuhua Temple to offer incense, probably it is impossible to arrange. They can only squeeze with Xiao Jue and the others.

Xiao Jue frowned and was about to speak, He Yan said: “It’s okay, let them in, I eat fast and it won’t be a problem.”

It was so easy to gain a little fame in Shuojing City. She hadn’t played against He Ru informally before, and she didn’t want to be overbearing and rush to send it to others.

Xiao Jue thought for a while, but said nothing.

The two men brought in by the monks were two women. One was older and the other was younger. He Yan had only briefly swept away, but when he saw the face of the older woman, his heart jumped, and he couldn’t control it in an instant, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.

He Yan hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, covering the shock on his face by the way.

This movement also attracted the attention of the two people who came in. The two women stopped, Qi Qi looked towards He Yan. He Yan picked up the chopsticks, and the monk came over and said, “Please wait a moment for the donor, the little monk will go and get a clean pair for the donor.”

He Yan didn’t say anything yet, the young woman had already seen Xiao Jue following He Yan’s side, and blurted out: “General Feng Yun!”

He Yan looked at Xiao Jue subconsciously, and Xiao Jue frowned slightly, seemingly unhappy.

He Xinying was surprised. She didn’t expect to see Xiao Jue here when she went up the mountain. Speaking of it, she has only seen Xiao Jue once. It was once when she went to the street with a friend to buy and buy things. She saw a group of people riding through the street in the city. The pedestrians and carriages on the roadside were all refuges, and the headed man Fengshen Junlang, outstanding, at that time a friend next to her told her: that is the General Feng Yun of Wei.

Probably because this man is really outstanding, and his impression is too clear, so when he sees Xiao Jue, it overlaps with the shadow in her memory.

It’s just that the world knows that this Governor Xiao has a bad temper. For a while, He Xinying assisted Mrs. He, and neither did he advance nor retreat. For fear of an accident, he would offend this cruel jade face.

But Madam He didn’t care about this, she just pulled He Xinying into it, and sat down at the table next to He Yan and the others.

He Xinying looked at Xiao Jue curiously. This Governor Xiao had a lot of rumors, but one rumors have never changed, that they are not close to women, but this rumors were just at the celebration banquet a few days ago. The upper was broken. His Majesty personally gave him a marriage to a woman, and Xiao Jue was in the hall, in front of a hundred officials of civil and military officials, facing the kindness and affection of that woman. When it reached the ears of the people of Shuojing, how many girls had a dream broken.

On the day Xu Zhiheng returned from the celebration banquet, he was not in a good mood, and he didn’t talk about these things with He Xinying. Therefore, these things were only spread to the whole government after the maidservant went to the street to hear about them the next day. Speaking of it, Xiao Jue’s fiancee was also a very simple woman. She even dared to pretend to be a woman on the battlefield to kill the Utuo, and she became the first woman of the Wei Dynasty, Wu’anhou.

The most coincidental thing is that this Wu’anhou, and her deceased elder sister, Grandma Xu, who had previously died of illness, had the same name and surname, and was also called He Yan.

It’s just that her elder sister, He Yan, is so weak that she has to grow up on Zhuangzi for many years and take medicine every day, not to mention that she is going to the battlefield to kill the Utuo, and she has to pant even if she takes a few more steps. The name is the same, but the temperament is quite different.

He Xinying looked at the woman next to Xiao Jue. That girl was also young and beautiful, and her eyebrows were full of heroism. He Xinying guessed in her heart that he could make Xiao Dudu, who is not close to the female, so close, neither The big grandmother of the Xiao family should be his fiancée, Wu’an Hou Heyan.

While He Xinying was looking at herself, He Yan just lowered her head and pretended to eat seriously, but she felt a thousand times in her heart. Several times she couldn’t help but look at the person facing her——He Er lady.

That is her biological mother.

Regarding Mrs. He, He Yan’s impression is actually not very deep. Compared with He Yuanliang, Mrs. He doesn’t like to go out much. On weekdays, she only stays in her yard unless on the New Year’s Day. Or maybe it is a woman who is softhearted. Mrs. He is afraid of making any mistakes. He Yan can often see He Yuanliang had very few chances to see Mrs. He. But since He Yan knew his true identity, he often wanted to see what kind of person his biological mother was. She vaguely felt that she was a very quiet and gentle woman, sometimes a little dull.

He Yuanliang had a smiling appearance in Su Ri, very flattering to women. There were also several concubines living in the second room, and some concubines and concubines were born. If you say it is favored, Mrs. He is by no means the one who is most favored by He Yuanliang, but He Yuanliang did not neglect Mrs. He, and did not do anything to dote on his concubine and destroy his wife. At least before He Yan joined the army in his previous life, Mrs. He I also had a good time at the house.

One year at the family banquet, when He Yan was eating at home, he sat at the same table with Mrs. He. She was not very young at the time, she was just ten years old, and she was sitting opposite Madam He Er. She was probably too curious. She raised her eyes to see Madam He Er more often. At the family banquet later, He Yan and He Yan The second lady is not sitting at a table anymore.

She didn’t expect to be here, meeting her biological mother without warning. Rao no longer hates the He family and has no emotions. When facing the second wife of He Yan, He Yan’s mood is not as indifferent as it seems on the surface.

He Xinying cautiously tugged at Er Madam He, and whispered: “The opposite is General Feng Yun, General Xiao Du. The person next to him is probably the girl Wu’an Hou Heyan who was married a few days ago by your Majesty.”

As soon as he said this, Mrs. He took the chopsticks and looked up at the opposite table.

Now the news that Xiao Huaijin was given the marriage is known throughout Shuojing, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, even the street beggars know that his fiancée is He Yan, and it is impossible for Mrs. He not to hear it. Suddenly, I was shocked to hear the person with the same name and surname as my dead daughter.

At the other end, Xiao Jue noticed He Yan’s sudden silence and asked her, “Why don’t you speak?”

Before the mother and daughter came, she kept chatting, but after coming, she stopped talking. No matter how he was recognized, He Yan went over, and he was never a temperament to look at people’s faces.

Fearing that Xiao Jue would see the clues, He Yan smiled, looking for a random conversation, and said: “The Governor, the piece of black jade you gave me before, has been kept with me, is it really okay?”

“What’s wrong.”

“I just think it’s too expensive.” He Yan took a bite of potato cakes in his mouth, staring at the table, not looking at the other two in the room, “but your parents will really give you a name. Jue, it means double jade. It’s really appropriate for the empress dowager to give you double-color jade.”

Xiao Jue smiled, “Your name is also good.”

He Yan thought for a while, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and bowed his head to eat.

Madam He stared straight at He Yan’s movements. He Yan is addicted to sweetness, and always picks beets first when eating. Although he is not modest enough, he is better than being very frugal. A grain of rice will not fall. If she encounters a dish that she doesn’t like to eat, she will not throw it away, but she will stop for a while, as if to prepare herself for some courage, and then eat it all at once without touching that dish again.

Madam He looked at her, her face gradually changed, and her empty and numb gaze began to become more and more excited now, as if she couldn’t help crying.

Xiao Jue turned his back to Madam He and the others, so he didn’t see Madam He’s strange behavior. He Yan saw it, pretending not to know, and changed the conversation to Xiao Jue.

He Xinying asked in a low voice, “Mother, why don’t you eat it?”

The girl seemed to feel a little bit. Looking to this side, Mrs. He hurriedly lowered her head, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of rice indiscriminately. No one saw a drop of her tears falling into the bowl.

For this meal, except for Xiao Jue and He Xinying, Mrs. He and He Yan both had their own minds. He Yan and the others came earlier and ate quickly. After the meal, He Yan put down his chopsticks. Xiao Jue had already eaten well, and when she was like this, he said: “Let’s go.”

He Yan nodded, and the two walked out together.

Not long after I left, suddenly someone’s voice came from behind him: “…Girl stay!”

He Yan looked back and saw that Mrs. He Er trot towards herself carrying her skirt. The shadow of He Xin behind her was also a little surprised, as if she did not expect her mother to make such a move. Madam He’s body is not good, and after running a few steps, she gasps for breath. Among the officials’ madams, her behavior is already a bit rude. But Madam He didn’t care about this, and walked towards this end.

Xiao Jue frowned: “Who?”

“I’m… the wife of the second room of the He family in Beijing.” The second wife of He glanced at Xiao Jue. The young man looked cold and made her feel a little timid. Even so, she still stared straight at He Yan. Half a minute also reluctant to look away.

He Yan nodded and smiled: “Mrs. He.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” He Xinying also caught up, and secretly pulled up a hand of Madam He’s sleeve, with a little anger in her eyes. As soon as He Yan left, they hadn’t finished their meal. He Xinying was about to talk to Madam He Er, when he saw Madam He suddenly stood up with determination and chased it out.

Everything happened so fast that she hadn’t had time to stop it. But He Xinying knew that it was good. Don’t provoke this Youjun governor, Shuo Jingcheng official’s house, which family doesn’t know Xiao Huaijin is not a troublesome. If it is pursued, don’t cause trouble to the He Family.

“What’s the matter, madam?” He Yan asked politely.

Madam He looked at her, as if looking at another person through her, her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing the girl in front of her, and she was coaxing her three-year-old daughter, “You… are called He. Yan?”

He Yan looked at the woman in front of him.

The second Mrs. He in her memory was still very young, and unlike Mrs. He who was meticulous and strict, Mrs. He had a gentle and kind face, and she looked like a good temperament person. She had also seen her sister He Xinying smash a very precious vase. Not only was Madam He not angry, she would also hold He Xinying in her arms to see if her hand was scratched by the vase fragments.

He Yan was very envious at that time, thinking that his own mother was really better than his “mother”.

Later, she went back to the house after fighting a war, and changed back to “He Yan” again, and Mrs. He also came several times. But they missed each other too many years, even sitting in a room, they felt embarrassment and alienation. On the day of marriage, Mrs. He was coming to see her off. He Yan sat in the room, and Mrs. He said a word when he helped her cover her head.

She took He Yan’s hand and slowly said, “Ahe, you must be well in the future.”

In a word, He Yan under the hijab wet his eyes.

It’s a pity that even the simple wish of “being well” did not come to her in the end. Even if she was blind in Xu’s house, Madam He was “ill” and never came to see her once.

The woman in front of her was much older, no longer as young as she remembered. He Yan could even see the faint white spots between her temples.

She is getting old.

He Xinying looked at Xiao Jue, feeling nervous, and hurriedly explained to He Yan: “Sorry, Miss He, because you have the same name as my sister, so my mother…”

She didn’t know how to go on. If He Yan had the same name and surname as a dead man, who knows if this female prince will feel unlucky and unhappy.

Madam He looked at He Yan and asked tremblingly, “Miss He…Why are you called He Yan?”

This question is really nonsense. He Yan stared at her. After a while, he smiled nonchalantly, and replied casually in a relaxed tone: “Who knows, how can ordinary women take the word’yan’? Yes, He Qing Haiyan, maybe my parents knew from the time I was born that I must go to the battlefield to protect the people’s safety in this life. In this way, this name is quite different from ordinary people.”

What she said was somewhat self-deprecating.

“He Qinghaiyan”, it sounds natural to be in a prosperous age, but she went on the battlefield by herself. Not only did she not feel distressed by her relatives, but she also had to squeeze the last trace of her value out here, which is really chilling. He Yan originally thought that her desire for family affection had been extinguished at a very young age. If there is no hope, you will not be too sad when you are disappointed. Now she was in another He family and received a warmth that she had never had before. When she met Mrs. He again, all the grievances and grievances that were deliberately buried deep in her heart were born.

After the words, He Xinying still didn’t feel anything, but Mrs. He’s expression changed, and the blood on her face faded clean in a moment, almost tottering.

He Yan nodded at them and said, “If there is nothing wrong, we will leave first.” She gently pulled Xiao Jue’s clothes corner and walked forward.

He Xinying behind him complained when the two of them walked far enough, “Mother, what’s the matter with you, suddenly rushed out and frightened me. You don’t know what kind of person Du Du Xiao is. Fortunately, they didn’t care about it just now. If they are angry, neither the eldest brother nor the husband may have a way…Mother, mother?”

He Xinying suddenly stopped talking, because she saw the woman in front of her, and a big drop of tears poured out in her eyes. The tears ran across the corners of her eyes where fine lines had formed, like cold dew in the middle of the night, with broken sorrow.

He Xinying knew that Madam He was thinking of her eldest sister who had died. After He Yan’s death, his mother’s health has been in poor condition. The doctor always said that it would be better to take care of it, but He Xinying knew in her heart that this was a heart disease. Mother’s heart is always thinking about the death of the eldest sister, so that’s the case.

It’s just… something she doesn’t understand. She always thought that her mother was always indifferent to her eldest sister, perhaps because He Yan had been recuperating at Zhuangzi, and had never been close to her mother in the mansion, so after a long time, it would be difficult to produce the same feelings as her own. But it turned out that after He Yan’s death, her mother was so sad that she realized that it was not ruthless.

But in that case, why did she take her so alienated and indifferent in the first place?

There is also his father, He Yuanliang, who is very kind to everyone, always smiling very kindly, but for He Yan’s death, he did not show such sadness.

All in all, He Yan seemed to be a subtle existence in the He family, and He Yan’s death made the seemingly ordinary things finally reveal the weirdness underneath. She was full of questions, but no one could answer her.

No one will answer for her.

He Xinying held Madam He’s hand, and finally said nothing, took the kerchief to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes for her mother, and whispered: “Mother, let’s go back.”
