Chapter 541: Miss Wu
When He Lanyan saw Wu Xinlian for the first time, she couldn't help but scream in surprise. She was stunned. Not only her, but also Wula and Sula who came out to greet the guests with He Lanyan also had their eyes widened, because Wu Xinlian today She completely changed her attire. She was no longer dressed as a Yan woman, but actually put on a complete set of Hun women's clothing.
Looking at the braids all over her head, He Lanyan blinked her eyes and asked after a while: "Xinlian, how long did it take you to dress up?"
Looking at the surprised expressions of the people opposite, Wu Xinlian was very happy, "After a long time, after I got up in the morning, the girl at home helped me make it." She smiled and took the huge food box from behind, "This is the Chinese New Year at home. I took some of the snacks I had prepared at home. I thought my sister must not have these things at home, so I sent them over. "
He Lanyan took it with a smile and handed it to Wula, "I didn't say I would send it here earlier. The year is almost over."
"It's over here, we have to celebrate it until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!" Wu Xinlian said: "It's a joy to celebrate the New Year, but it's also quite troublesome. Worshiping ancestors and heaven, visiting relatives and friends, there are a lot of things to do anyway of."
"Aren't your father angry with the way you are dressed?" He Lanyan asked.
"Don't be angry!" Wu Xinlian shook her head and said, "He even praised her for being so beautiful!"
He Lanyan nodded and took Wu Xinlian's hand. "I also think your outfit is really beautiful." She lowered her voice and said, "Brother will definitely like it after seeing it."
Wu Xinlian lowered her head all of a sudden, two blushes appeared on her face. Seeing Wu Xinlian's shy and uncontrollable appearance, He Lanyan couldn't help but giggle. This eldest lady of the Wu family had known Wu Kai since He Lanxiong went to pay a visit. After that, for some reason, she fell in love with her big brother who looked like a bear. For this, this delicate young lady suffered a lot. The eldest lady who used to stay at home unexpectedly started to learn horse riding and archery. He Lanyan knew that she would suffer a lot. If nothing else, Miss Wu's soft and white hands were now When you touch it in your hand, you can see that it already has calluses and is much more energetic.
"Let's go. Come ride with me. I recently bought a horse. It's pure black. The fur is like satin. It's very comfortable to touch. The most important thing is that it has a docile temperament. It's most suitable for someone like you who has just learned how to ride. You are no longer a good rider." He Lanyan smiled and said, "I got this horse specially for you."
"Thank you for your hard work, sister!" Wu Xinlian said gratefully.
"Don't be so polite." He Lanyan waved her hand, "Maybe I will call you sister-in-law in the future!"
Wu Xinlian's face, which had just returned to normal, turned blood red again and looked at He Lanyan. I don’t know what to say, even though I know that the woman in front of me is outspoken,
But it still makes people feel embarrassed to express their thoughts so clearly.
"Ula. Take the food box to the back. By the way, warn brother. Don't eat secretly. After we ride for a while, we can warm up a few pots of good wine and eat together." He Lanyan held Wu Xinlian's hand and walked towards Walk back.
"Got it!" Wu Lage smiled coquettishly and ran back with the food box in hand. Of course she understood what He Lanyan meant.
"Brother Helan is at home?" Wu Xinlian raised her head and glanced behind her.
He Lanyan smiled and nodded, thinking, of course you know that my eldest brother is at home, otherwise why would you be here in such a hurry? But she likes Wu Xinlian, not to mention anything else. A petite young lady is willing to lose face for her eldest brother and come to learn horse riding and archery from her. This thought alone is very good.
In the back hall, He Lanxiong stared blankly at the food box on the table for a long time. Hearing the sound of horse hooves on the school field behind him, he couldn't help but approach the window and quietly opened it a small crack.
On the school grounds, Su La brought over a big black horse with a splendid steed, and handed the reins to Wu Xinlian's hands. Taking the reins, Wu Xinlian quickly got on the horse. Looking at Wu Xinlian at this time, He Lanxiong's eyes couldn't help but light up. In this dress, Such neatness, if he hadn't known the other party's identity, he would have definitely thought that the other party was the daughter of a Huns family.
With a slight scolding, the big black horse raised its four hooves and started slowly. He Lanyan and Wula were on the left and right, accompanying Wu Xinlian. Although the big black horse was docile, Wu Xinlian had not learned to ride for a long time, so they were afraid of an accident. From this position, even if something happened to Wu Xinlian, the two of them could easily launch a rescue with their skills.
The horse ran faster and faster, and Wu Xinlian's pigtails were flying. It was obvious that he was very happy, his face was red, and accompanied by a soft and touching giggle, Helan Xiong couldn't help but feel his heart beat.
Close the window, slowly return to the table and sit down, open the food box, the snacks inside are extremely exquisite, rarely seen in ordinary times, come to think of it, even in the previous Fufeng era, Wu Kai's family had a fortune of tens of millions, so food is naturally the most important thing. Never tired of finesse and delicate taste, he gently picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake with both hands, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Gao Yuan once told him about the marriage with the Wu family. At that time, he refused outright. Naturally, it was not only because of personal considerations. As a Huns, He Lanxiong did not have his own ideas. He had always wanted to Revitalize the Xiongnu and build the Xiongnu royal court. If you marry the Wu family, you will become increasingly entangled with the people of the Central Plains, and it will be difficult to escape.
And he also believed that Gao Yuan tried his best to arrange his marriage with the Wu family. It was not just about brotherhood. There were also political considerations in it. When they were in their position, marriage was no longer just between two people or two families. thing.
But over a period of time, as he and Gao Yuan visited the villages around Jishi County, this idea slowly faded away. He was shocked to find that just two years ago, the Huns and the Yan people in Jishi City The two sides have actually merged and merged to such an extent that the two sides have formed an inseparable whole. There is me in you and you in me. It is difficult to distinguish them anymore.
Not to mention anything else, there are many people in the Helan tribe who have married with the locals. The two parties have become one not only in terms of blood, but also in terms of economy, and more Xiongnu The cavalry now have their own families, land, and property in Jishi County, and their lives are countless times better than before. Whenever they return here from an expedition, He Lanxiong sees the soldiers' eagerness to return home. Then he knew that his ideal of rebuilding the Xiongnu royal court was getting further and further away from him.
My roots were in the Eastern Conquest Army, and I left here. What is the difference between me and the leaders of the Huns tribe who are still wandering on the grassland?
He slowly shook his head, and now looking back, he realized that Gao Yuan's actions back then were all with deep meaning, but at that time, he could not have expected today's outcome anyway.
"This guy!" He Lanxiong swallowed the pastry in his mouth, "No wonder people outside say that he is far-sighted and has no clues. I was tied to the chariot by him and can never get off again."
The ideal of rebuilding the royal court faded away. The next step was naturally to establish a firm foothold in Zhengdong Mansion and sit in a higher position. He had become a flag of the Xiongnu clan in Zhengdong Mansion. As long as he did well, It can always win more benefits for the Huns. Then, marrying the Wu family is a good marriage, and the girl outside is also really good. She has a good family background, knowledge of books and etiquette. Compared with the women on the grassland, she is naturally more than one step ahead. Moreover, he can also There are very few Central Plains women who strive to change to suit themselves for their own sake.
He stood up, opened the door, and strode outside.
He Lanxiong's appearance on the school ground not only surprised He Lanyan, but Wu Xinlian, who was galloping on her horse, was also obviously startled. If she lost her balance, she would fall off the horse.
He Lanxiong, who was not far away from her, rushed up with one stride, restrained the big black horse's bit with one hand, and supported Wu Xinlian with the other, "Be careful!" he shouted loudly.
He Lanyan on the side laughed and made a gesture to Wula and Sula next to him. The three of them got off their horses and led the horses to the stable. "Brother, you came just in time. I am thirsty and I want to drink a glass of water." , please take care of Miss Wu for me, be careful, if you hurt Sister Wu, Commander Wu will definitely knock on your door to ask for forgiveness."
With laughter like silver bells, the three women disappeared from the school grounds like flying. He Lanxiong smiled bitterly, can you be more obvious?
Wu Xinlian was riding on the horse. Although her face was flushed, she still tried hard to calm down. She opened her eyes wide and looked at He Lanxiong. He Lanyan had said that the Huns men did not like women to act like little girls. .
"Let me teach you!" He Lanxiong took the reins, not daring to look into Wu Xinlian's eyes.
Wu Xinlian looked happily at the majestic man riding beside her, her mind no longer on how to control the horse under her crotch.
A large family in the Cao Mansion, headed by Cao Tiancheng, respectfully sent Gao Yuan and his wife out of the house. The two families were not far apart, so there was no need to ride a horse. Gao Yuan took Ye Jing'er's hand, nodded to Cao Tiancheng, and stepped forward. Then he walked towards the General's Mansion not far away.
After walking a few steps, Ye Jing'er suddenly stopped, "Brother, I'm out today anyway, why don't we go to another house to visit."
Gao Yuan looked at Ye Jing'er with some surprise, "Which house do you want to visit? If you are interested, I will accompany you to have a good time. Otherwise, how about we go to Wu's house? We will stay with him at night." Have a good drink, this guy will always have some rare treasures hidden in his house.”
Ye Jing'er smiled and shook her head, "I don't know how many times I have been to Wu's house. If I don't want to go, why don't we go to General Helan's house? I have never been to his house once!"
"He Lanxiong's family!" Gao Yuan was startled, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
"Yes, the Helan brothers and sisters have made countless contributions to Zhengdong Mansion. It is also appropriate for us to pay a visit." Ye Jing'er said with a smile. (To be continued...)
