Chapter 4 The next day, Liu's mother hired two escorts from the escort agency, returned and pushed the girl into the carriage.
The carriage was brought over by Liu's mother from Zhending Mansion. It was very old inside and out. The small built-in table could no longer tell what color the original paint was.
The girl sat in the carriage, raised the curtains, and looked out the window curiously.
She heard from the black girl that this place is called Gangtou Village, which is under the jurisdiction of Wanchun County. The He family's reward notice was posted in the busiest place in Wanchun County. In less than half an hour, the entire Wanchun County people were Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the He family in Zhending Mansion with a red mole on her foot fell into the river and her life or death is uncertain.
The girl thought of the black girl, and then heard the black girl shouting: "Don't go, wait for us!"
The He family's carriage would not wait. He whipped up his whip on the handlebar and drove the carriage towards the official road.
Yan'er stuck her head out for a look, then retracted her head: "They are really following us, in a little donkey cart, driven by a white dog. They also brought bedding and pots with them!"
Mother Liu spat: "This is something that has never been seen in the world!"
The girl was still looking out of the car. She had never been here before, but she had been to Pingyang three times. Pingyang should not be too far from here.
At that time, it was still a troubled time, and the feudal princes were fighting. It was April, the grass was growing, and the orioles were flying. After drinking the spring of Fenyang in Jinkang, she left for Pingyang.
The day we arrived in Pingyang was April 28th. Pingyang city was crowded with people and the gongs and drums were noisy. She made a special trip to Pingyang to watch the majestic gongs and drums. She would go wherever the excitement was.
Eight-year-old Zhou Chi was also in the crowd. It was pitiful for him to hide here and there. The people sent by his uncle to kill him were looking for him.
So she meddle in one more thing and took away a child.
The child was easy to feed, as long as he had food to eat, she would take him around, and when she was happy, she would teach him military boxing, and tell him about airplanes, cannons, and submarines, regardless of whether he understood or not.
Gradually, she understood that she was not doing a good deed by adopting this child, but was actually just trying to find a partner for herself to eat, drink, and talk to.
Although a person is good, he can also be lonely sometimes.
When Zhou Chi was 15 years old, she felt that Zhou Chi had grown up and was not as fun as when he was a child, so she took him back to Zhoujiapu in Pingyang and took back everything his father left for him from his uncle. From then on, Zhou Chi became the youngest among the princes in the world.
The third time was when she passed through Pingyang. At that time, Zhou Chi had already ascended the throne and she had not seen Zhou Chi for five years. In those five years, she lived with her sisters in Qingcang Mountain and practiced military training. , singing, hunting, and living happily.
Suddenly one day, she received a blood letter from Zhou Chi. The remnants of her sworn enemy teamed up with the traitor inside and outside, and Zhou Chi, now the emperor, and Queen Min Lan were trapped in the palace.
She did not hesitate, and led her sisters to rush for help. She killed many people in that battle, and blood flowed like a river outside the palace.
She stepped on the blood on the ground and rescued Zhou Chi and Min Lan.
From then on, or maybe before, Min Lan became more and more afraid of her, so this woman did a stupid thing and asked her brother Min Qing to poison her. After she found out, she broke into the queen's palace and killed Min Qing's head. Throw it in front of Min Lan.
From then on, she never returned to the capital. When Zhou Chi imprisoned Min Lan, she did not come back; when Zhou Chi named her the wife of the state of Qin, she did not come back; when Zhou Chi named her the princess of the country, she did not come back. Still haven't come back.
Here, she is just a passerby. She firmly believes that one day she will return to the place where she came from. Dogs know how to urinate in tree pits and leave marks, and she wants to do the same.
She lived her old life again, traveling around in this time and space, leaving her mark in every city she passed.
Ten years passed by in a hurry, until one day, she got a jar of 20-year-old peach blossom wine. She got into the mood and lay on the bamboo paper to drink. The bamboo paper floated along the Suoling River. She drank too much and fell asleep. Already...
In a daze, she realized that she was leaving, but when she woke up, she could not return to where she came from, but returned here again. She was buried alive and turned into a person who was not even herself. The little girl who knows who it is.
No, she is now the eldest lady of the He family.
Nowadays, the world is peaceful, and people without household registration will be regarded as refugees. The status of the He family is neither high nor low, not very good, but it can give her an identity.
The girl smiled, this family still had the last name He.
She likes the surname "He". She used to be called He Ran. After coming here, she gave herself a new name. Her name is He Jinghong.
Perhaps she was anxious to return to her true self, or perhaps she was distressed about the pair of gold bracelets. In short, Mother Liu was upset and did not teach her the rules on the road as she had said before, so she was happy and relaxed.
Five days later, the carriage finally entered the realm of Zhending. Liu's mother finally regained her energy. Yan'er also talked about how rich the He family was, how knowledgeable the eldest master was, and how dignified the Yan family's manners were. , and the fake Miss He, He Shuyuan, has such a superior temperament and outstanding literary talent.
Mother Liu asked one of the bodyguards to go ahead and report the news to He's house early in the morning. Therefore, when the carriage stopped in front of He's house, a woman with five or six maids greeted her at the door.
Yan'er told her that this woman's surname was Zhao and she was someone close to the old girl was escorted to the old lady's Chunhui Hall, where the eldest master and his eldest wife Yan, the second master and his second wife Lin were all here.
In addition to the He family, there is also a well-dressed nanny with shrewd eyes.
As soon as she entered the door, everyone's eyes fell on her. Mother Liu introduced her one by one and led her to salute everyone.
When it was that nanny's turn, Mother Liu introduced her as Aunt Shi from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.
The old lady looked her up and down and sighed: "The eyebrows and eyes resemble those of Luo's. She is quite handsome, but she is too thin. I heard that you are injured? Now that you are back, you must take good care of yourself."
The eldest lady smiled and said: "Leave this matter to my daughter-in-law, mother, don't worry."
The old lady glanced at the eldest master and eldest wife Yan, and then looked at the girl in front of her: "Do you have a name?"
I heard that she grew up in the Caotai troupe. If she has a gaudy name like pink and willows, she must change it. Otherwise, if word spreads, it will not be her who will be laughed at, but the He family.
"My name is He Ran. Ran Ran is full and empty, and clear and clear becomes Ran of the past and present." He Ran has a good voice, clear and sweet.
She thought, let's call him back He Ran. She was too lazy to choose a new name. Compared with He Jinghong, He Ran's name was simpler and she could write one less word.
The room fell silent for a moment, and you could hear a pin drop.
It was Mr. He who was the first to break the silence. His voice was partly hesitant, partly probing, and partly worried: "Have you read the book?"
"I know a few words. The opera troupe has taught me to memorize the words used in the opera. These two sentences are also in the opera."
He Ran comforted him kindly, but she just said a few lines of poetry, which scared Mr. He.
Also, once a girl reads a few more books, it will not be easy for her to become flat and round.
He Ran's answer made Mr. He breath a sigh of relief. It turned out to be from the play, so it didn't matter.
"Who gave you this name?" This name really doesn't look like something someone in a theater troupe would choose.
He Ran's eyes were sad: "The people who took me away said that there was a handkerchief in my swaddling clothes with the word "Ran" written in blood, so they used the word "Ran" to make my name."
The room was quiet again. He Ran lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. It was all acting. It didn't matter if there was another veil. Anyway, it was all for Mother Shi to see.
After a long time, Mr. He gently wiped the corner of his eyes with his sleeve and said sadly: "That veil was left by your biological mother. It's a pity that she had to be separated from you forever just after giving birth to you."
The eldest lady Yan on the side gave him a sharp look and snorted softly from her nose.
The voice was not loud, but the old lady's brows still moved, and she said unhappily: "Dalang, now that Ranran has finally come back, the family is reunited, let the past matter be in the past, and don't be too sad. "
"My son was impulsive." Mr. He stood with his head bowed, his thin body slightly stooped, like a heron whose neck was pecked.
The old lady winked, and Mother Zhao held up a brocade box. The old lady opened the brocade box, and inside was a pair of jade bracelets of ordinary quality.
He Ran glanced at it and realized that this bracelet was probably not as valuable as the brocade box.
The old lady smiled and said, "Here, put this bracelet on and let grandma see if it looks good."
He Ran stretched out her hand, revealing the large gold bracelet on her wrist.
"This is..." The old lady's eyes fell on the big gold bracelet. The bracelet looked a little awkward on the little girl's slender wrist.
"My mother asked Mother Liu to bring this to me. Although it is a bit too big to wear, it is also a gift from the elders."
Voiceover: This bracelet is too big, it doesn’t fit me, and I don’t like it very much, but it was given by an elder and I can’t refuse it, so I can only accept it.
Mother Liu's eyes are going to burst out with fire, no, she's lying, she obviously took this away from me!
Mother Liu moved her lips, and when she looked up, she saw the eldest lady Yan looking at her, wishing to tear her apart. Mother Liu quickly shrank her neck and stepped aside.
