Wings of Hung Chien - Chapter 17

After Si Hongcang talked with Lu Jiaxin, he returned to Yun’s courtyard.

As a result, what they saw was that the Lu family’s oldest child, the Lu family’s biography, actually followed behind Yun Ruo.

I don’t know if Yun Ruo was annoyed by Xu Fumei or what, she just stood still, ignored her, and looked at her quietly.

Xu Fumei was so uncomfortable at the sight of Yun Ruo, she was about to make a joke when her second sister Lu Jiaqin took her and scolded her, “As soon as you leave the school, you will be wild. What does it look like to pester other people like this?” and apologized again. He smiled at Yun Ruo.

“What happened to Yun Ruo?” Si Hongcang walked to Yun Ruo’s side and asked him softly.

“She has been talking around me.” Yun Ruo pointed at Xu Fumei and said to Si Hongcang.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Jiaxin looked at his youngest, and frowned as he asked his youngest.

“I don’t know what happened to the family heirloom, and I have been pestering the young master to talk.”

In fact, it was because Xu Fumei had never eaten something so delicious. Then I asked, after it turned out to be cooked by Yun Ruozhi, I asked him how he made it so delicious?

And because he was standing on his right side to eat at that time, he looked up just to see the profile of the right half of his face without birthmarks, and I felt that he was actually very beautiful.

And when I talk to him, I feel that he talks well, not like a country man who doesn’t understand anything. This made her have a good impression of Yun Ruo, so she would pester him, just because she wanted to talk to him more.

After asking the reason, I really don’t know what to say to my sister, so I can only scold her and say to her, “Why don’t you go home soon? Dad is waiting.”

After Lu Jiaxin picked out a few pieces of soil and gave them to the Yun family to thank them for their hospitality, he and his second sister, Lu Jiaqin, said goodbye to everyone, and took their younger sister to leave the Yun family.

Lu Jiachuan had no choice but to follow the eldest and second sisters, walking a few steps and looking back. Seeing Yun Ruo standing there, like a white lotus, indescribably beautiful, for a while, she didn’t know whether to call him an ugly man or a beautiful man.

After walking out of the Yun family yard, the three Lu family sisters got into their own carriage.

Lu Jiaxin said displeasedly to the Lu family, “My son’s face is flawed, and he must be sad. You still treat others like this. Do you still know a little bit of etiquette?”

Lu Jiachuan smiled and said, “Actually, I don’t think he’s ugly, eldest sister, second sister, don’t you think he’s different from other boys?”

Lu Jiaxin shook his head and said, “Who will be the same as who? I think they changed as they grew up.”

Lu Jiaqin felt the same way, “Yes, I also think he has a temperament different from other boys.”

“That’s right.” Lu Jiachuan sighed and said regretfully as he walked, “Alas! If Yuntian’s younger brother didn’t have that fiery red birthmark on his face, he would be a pretty boy. I’ve never seen such a beautiful boy in my life. Much prettier than Lu Shinu’s younger brother!”

After the chicken feast was over, the bear-like aunt Gao Kang and the head of the Yun family, Yun Shan, continued to talk about their past. Daughter Gao Wanzhi and younger sons Gao Fengxian and Si Hongcang helped Yun Tian and Yun Ruo to clean up the mess after the banquet.

Gao Fengxian deliberately took the opportunity to run to Si Hongcang’s side, saying that she was here to help her clean up.

After Si Hongcang said thank you to him, he looked over to the well, and Yun Ruo was the only one washing the piles of pots and pans. Looking at the work at hand, I thought, Gao Fengxian could do it alone.

“It’s hard work for you here. There are too many dishes. I’ll go over and help Yun Ruo wash the dishes first.” Si Hongcang walked in the direction of Yun Ruo.

“Ah…” Cang… Si Hongcang’s people had already arrived at the well before he finished calling his name.

As soon as he came to the well, Si Hongcang washed Yun Ruo’s dishes full of foam with Sapindus, and picked up the well water to help wash them.

“Sister Sihong?! I’ll just come, this greasy…”

“It’s faster for the two of you to wash together.” Si Hongcang said with a smile.

“As long as you are happy. By the way, Sister Si Hong, you taught my sister a story from “Zhuangzi: Autumn Water” written by Master Zhuangzi: When the autumn water comes, hundreds of rivers fill the river. There is no arguing between cattle and horses between the cliffs. So Yan Hebo was delighted, and took the beauty of the world as his own. He went eastward with the current, and as for the North Sea, he looked eastward and could not see the water. So Yan Hebo began to turn his face. , Wang Yang Xiang Ruo sighed and said, “There are some wild sayings that say, ‘When you hear the Dao Bai, you think you can’t be your own’, I call it that. Also, I have heard about Shao Zhongni and despised the righteousness of Bo Yi. I can’t believe it. Now I see the difficulty and poverty of my son. If I don’t go to the door of the son, I will be at risk. I have always seen and laughed at the Dafang family.’ In this paragraph, can you explain to me the meaning of this story in vernacular? “

※Excerpted from the chapter “Zhuangzi·Autumn Water” by Zhuangzi

“Okay… But, I didn’t expect you to write this article word for word, it’s really amazing!” Si Hongcang looked at Yun Ruo in surprise.

This, she remembered it after memorizing it for a long time! Later, after I was reborn into this body, I really experienced the super-superior feeling that I can remember ten lines at a glance.

“Where, I just remember it better.”

“That’s fine! Now I’ll tell you about this fable written by Master Zhuangzi about a great river god. Here it says: In autumn, mountain torrents come according to the season, and the waters of many great rivers flow into them. The Yellow River is wide and turbulent, and even cattle and horses cannot be distinguished between the two sides of the river and the sandbars in the water.

And the arrogant River God rejoiced, believing that all the good things in the world were gathered here in her. Of course, the arrogant river **** followed the water to the east, came to the North Sea, looked east, and couldn’t see the end of the sea at all.

Later, the arrogant River God changed his complacent face before, facing the Sea God and sighing: “There is a saying, ‘After hearing hundreds of truths, I think there is no one in the world who can compare to me’. , I’m talking about people like me.

Moreover, I have also heard the words that Confucius knew too little and that Bo Yi’s high righteousness was not worthy of attention. At first, I couldn’t believe it; now I have seen with my own eyes that you are so vast and boundless. Coming to your door is really dangerous, and I will always be ridiculed by highly cultivated people.

That is to say, a person must not be too self-righteous if he needs to know that there is heaven outside the sky and there are people outside people. “

“Master Zhuangzi is really a very powerful person!” Yun Ruo said with admiration on his face.

“Yes. There is great wisdom hidden in his stories.” Si Hongcang also had great respect for Zhuangzi.

Seeing that the two of them started chatting and laughing all of a sudden, Gao Fengxian felt very disappointed. After tidying up the yard, he walked towards Yuntian and went back if he wanted to tell her.

“Sister Yuntian, everything is done over there.”

“Thank you so much, Feng Xian, for letting you stay and help.”

“Your family invited us to eat so much delicious food, and it’s worthy to help clean up.”

“Come on, this bag is for you.” Yun Tian took out a bulging purse from his arms and gave it to Gao Fengxian.

“Pine nut candy?!…I can’t take it!” Gao Fengxian clearly liked it, but pine nut candy was very expensive, and not everyone could afford it. So he just pushed the candy back into Yuntian’s hands.

This pine nut candy was given to Yuntian by Lu Jiaxin, as a return gift to thank the Yun family for hosting their whole chicken feast. When she got the pine nut candy, the first thing she thought of was to give half of it to Gao Fengxian, and the other half to be used by Daddy and Yun Ruo. Moreover, she specially put the pine nut candy in a brand new purse, and then took it out and gave it to Gao Fengxian.

“why?”

“Pine nut candy is very expensive. I can only eat it once a year. I think Yun Ruo must have never eaten it. You should leave it to him.”

“I’ve already kept them, so you can take them.” Hearing that Gao Fengxian was actually thinking of his younger brother, Yun Tian felt even more cordial to him.

“But….”

“How can there be so many? Just take it.” Yun Tian insisted on giving him the pine nut candy.

Gao Fengxian had no choice but to accept the pine nut candy because he couldn’t overcome Yun Tian’s stubbornness.

Of course, I glanced at Yuntian who was full of joy when he accepted the pine nut candy in her hand. The mood is very complicated. I thought to myself: Her looks, body, and behavior are obviously not inferior to Ah Cang at all, but why… Only Ah Cang is the only one she sees in her eyes?

At this time, Gao Fengxian’s heart was sour and astringent, and she felt like she wanted to cry…

The late autumn sun warmly shines on the bank of the river with decaying grass and yellowing

The water in the Xiaoqing River is still clear, reflecting sparkling waves in the sun.

Yun Ruo came to the Xiaoqing River to wash the sheets.

Of course, the sheets were wet and heavy. After playing around in the river for a while, Yun Ruo broke out in a fine sweat, but her ten fingers were frozen like carrots. I feel a little overwhelmed, and even my toes are sore.

He threw the sheet on the slate, stomped his feet on the spot, put his hands close to his mouth and kept exhaling the heat, the poor heat could not warm the frozen fingers at all!

I was thinking about putting my hands in my underwear to warm it up for a while, but I was worried that the ice would make my body even colder. Suddenly, someone jumped out from the side. He picked up the sheet on the stone slab and threw it into the river. Open it, drag it in the water again, and the sewage will flow away, but he takes the sheet back into a bundle, folds it in half, and puts it on the slate and smashes it hard with a mallet.

Yun Ruo was taken aback, she swayed and almost fell into the river, but thanks to the man’s quick support, it didn’t cause a tragedy!

He stood firm and looked, it turned out to be Xu Fumei!

How could this man be so reckless? Is this to help or to make trouble, why don’t you make a sound?

Yun Ruo frowned, and said in a resentful tone, “Sister Fu, why didn’t you speak up? It made me almost fall into the river!”

When Xu Fumei heard him still calling her sister Fu, she did not alienate her, her heart trembled, and she muttered without turning her head, “I thought you heard it! Your sister is at home, why did you come to wash the cold water? “

She saw Yun Ruo washing things by the river from a distance on the road, thinking that the water is very cold, why doesn’t he wash with well water at home? Isn’t Yuntian at home today, can you help fetch water!

Although Xu Fumei’s family doesn’t have a younger brother, she also knows that men can’t just dip in cold water, especially in this cold weather, her father will always wash his clothes for a few days and let her mother or her wash them, saying yes If you don’t pay attention, you will have to spend money to see a doctor when you get sick.

So she turned around to take a look.

When she saw Yun Ruo’s thin body twisting vigorously and placing the heavy sheet forcefully, she was almost worried that he would be dragged down the river by the sheet. Seeing him fiddling for a while and then stopping, stomping his feet in place, he was so cold that he sighed on his hands. She couldn’t care about anything else, put the basket in her hand on the river bank, and rushed down.

Yun Ruo said, “My sister and Si Hong have gone to Yanzhou City to run errands. Is there something for sister Fu to ask my sister?”

Although he was a little embarrassed in his heart, he couldn’t refuse with a stern face when people were eager to help, and the water was really cold, so he was happy to stand aside and put his hands in his armpits to keep warm. That hand was so cold that even through the clothes, it made him shudder.

Xu Fumei didn’t get the answer she wanted, and stopped for a while before saying, “It’s okay! My grandfather sent some beef for you. My father’s cooking is not as good as yours, so I just use raw meat. Bring it up!”

When Yun Ruo heard this, he was no longer embarrassed, and asked in surprise, “Really? Is it a ox or a buffalo? Do you have any bones?”

Xu Fumei’s body froze for a moment, and she said “Ai” first, and then replied, “I don’t know what kind of cow it is. There are also beef bones. My father said that there was no meat on the bones, so I was embarrassed to bring it to you, so I just I didn’t bring it. If you like it, I’ll bring you some later!”

Yun Ruoyin heard that there was beef, and when she was happy, she was also quick to talk. Because Si Hongcang once said that beef bones are delicious in broth, he only asked this question. After he finished speaking, he felt that it was really inappropriate. Is there such a thing as asking people for something? Now I’m very embarrassed to hear Xu Fumei say that she wants to send some more bones!

“Uh, no, no, thank you.” Yun Ruo quickly declined.

Xu Fumei was very unhappy when she heard this. What are you doing to meet her like this? Isn’t it just beef bones? As long as he likes it, even if he takes it all for him, it will be worth it.

So she didn’t say a word, she put the sheets into the river with all her might, then dragged them back and put them on the slate mallet, three or two, and she washed two beds in a while!

Yun Ruo looked at her very proficient in her busy work, and thought to herself, what a good young man, I’m afraid that she would help her father with this work at home.

When she was wringing out the water, Yun Ruo wanted to help, but Xu Fumei didn’t let her. She crossed her hands and twisted it, and the water poured down, and the sheets were twisted into thick ropes!

She was busy quickly, and Yun Ruo stood aside and watched.

She naturally felt Yun Ruo’s gaze, and her neck quickly turned red at this moment, and she didn’t dare to look up at him. I was thinking about it in my head, what happened? Suddenly I heard Yun Ruo say, “Sister Fu, let me wash the rest, it’s almost done!”

Xu Fumei raised her head and looked at him in surprise. She had already washed so much, why didn’t she let her wash it?

When Yun Ruo saw her doubtful eyes, the long and narrow eyes under the eyebrows looked at him, and Yun Ruo quickly turned his eyes to look at the country road not far away.
