Wrong Changhuan

When Chang Huan woke up the next day, when he opened his eyes, he saw the approaching face of her maid, Hong Ying, which surprised Chang Huan.

Hongying said, "Miss, you are awake."

Chang Huan rubbed his eyes and asked, "What time is it?" Then he stood up.

Hongying helped her get dressed and said, "It's been three quarters."

Chang Huan wiped his face with a damp cloth, saw the food on the table, and asked, "Who brought this food?"

Hongying said, "Missy came here early in the morning. Seeing that you were still asleep, she didn't let you wake me up. She sat by the bed for a long time before leaving. Before leaving, she left this behind."

As Hongying said, she picked up a red silk bag from the pillow, inside was a fine round hollowed-out heart-carved white blood jade, the white jade was warm and moist, and gradually turned red as it got closer to the middle, with a red tassel falling down.

This was the first time Chang Huan received a gift from his mother, and he couldn't put it down. After playing with it for a while, he carefully wrapped it in red silk and put it in his arms.

Hongying urged, "After the eldest lady left, the second young master also came later, and just now he sent someone to deliver some porridge and side dishes, young lady, eat it while it's hot."

Chang Huan was drinking the porridge, while Hongying peeled an egg for her, begging, "Miss, take me to the other garden this time."

Chang Huan comforted, "In previous years, you were not allowed to take people with you. It was a rule set by your mother. Why don't you ask her? Besides, there are many snakes and insects in the mountains, aren't you afraid?"

A young man came in at the gate of the courtyard, he was from Lin Xun's courtyard, he saluted and said, "Young Master Yang, please give me a message for the young miss, and I want to say the exact words." The young man coughed and changed his voice to imitate Yang Yan's. With a tone of voice, he continued, "Xiao Huanhuan, you big slob, breakfast is almost ready, we will go fishing and eat grilled fish by the lake in Bieyuan at noon, remember to save your belly, don't blame me for not reminding you when you can't eat. "

After the boy finished speaking, he saluted and went back.

Chang Huan was speechless, smiled, drank less porridge, picked up the package that Hongying had prepared for her, and went out.

In the front hall, Lin Yuer, Lin Xun, and Wen Wushuang were drinking tea.After Chang Huan greeted him and greeted him, he went out of the gate, only to see Lin Xiao and Yang Yan busy at the gate, commanding his servants to load the big and small bags into the carriage.

Seeing Chang Huan holding the package in his hand, Lin Xiao took it and put it in the carriage himself.

Lin Xiao asked, "Chang Huan, are you riding in the carriage with Elder Sister, or riding with us?"

Yang Yan said first, "Do you still need to ask, can she ride in the carriage safely? Or sit with the eldest sister? Unless the sun rises from the west."

Lin Xiao nodded, pointed to a black horse next to him, and said, "Although this horse is young, it is the most docile. You can ride it."

Chang Huan recognized this horse, it was the one that Lin Xiao used to ride, it was bought from the Western Regions, and its name was Wu Feng.

Chang Huan said, "Okay. Thank you, Uncle."

Lin Xiao said embarrassedly, "My family, you are still so polite."

Chang Huan said in his heart, in fact, he was being polite from the bottom of his heart, and the one who wanted to make up for something all the time, wasn't it you, uncle.In fact, the person who should make up is not you.

After everything was arranged, the convoy left the east gate of the city in a mighty manner, followed by a guard of more than a dozen people.

After entering the official road, turn south into the forest road at the bifurcation intersection, pass through the forest, and drive halfway up the mountain to the Lin Family Garden.It takes half an hour to get there on a fast horse. Because of the carriage, it takes nearly an hour to arrive.

Lin Changhuan looked at the red leaves all over the mountain with a little yellow and green. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds, it was even more beautiful.

Outside Jiangling City, Xiwu Mountain, the Lin Family Garden.

The Uncle Zhong and his wife who have been taking care of the place at the gate of Bieyuan, along with a few maids and servants, are already waiting.

Yang Yan couldn't wait to get off the horse, went to the carriage to find the fishing rod and bait he had prepared earlier in the morning, called Chang Huan and Lin Xun, and went to the mirror lake behind the garden.

A barkless dead log more than three feet long lay across the lake, and the three of them took the dead log as a seat and started fishing.

Chang Huan reached out and took out the jade pendant from his bosom, and said to Lin Xun, "Mother left this this morning, second uncle, do you recognize it?"

Lin Xun put down the fishing rod, took a look at what was inside, and said thoughtfully, "This is the concentric jade pendant, which belongs to your mother. I thought... do you know that this jade can be divided into two?"

As Lin Xun said, he buckled the red heart in the middle, "The outer one is a full moon suet white jade, and the inner one is a concentric blood jade. When you meet someone you like one day, you can give this concentric blood jade to you." Give him the jade..." After Lin Xun finished speaking, he combined the two pieces of jade into one, and the jade pendant was restored to a perfect fit.

Lin Changhuan took the jade pendant and asked, "Did the concentric jade pendant be given to mother by father?"

Lin Xun was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."

Mother has cherished this jade pendant for so many years, is she still unable to let it go?Thinking about this, Lin Changhuan continued to ask, "Then how did my father die?"

Lin Xun stared straight at the lake in front of him, and said earnestly, "There are some things that I should not have told you. There are some things that you should not know."

Lin Changhuan has heard ambiguous words about his father since he was a child.

Lin Changhuan said, "If you don't tell me, I can guess that my mother misses him and hates him very much, so she also hates me...Did he abandon mother? Or betrayed mother?"

Is it mother's hatred for father that caused her indifference and indifference to herself in the past ten years?Hate so much that he could choose to let himself die.

Lin Xun asked vigilantly, "Who told you what?"

Lin Changhuan said, "No one told me. Since I was young, no one in the entire Lin family dared to mention it. It's just that I have been thinking about some basic issues of being a human being recently."

Yang Yan interrupted and asked curiously, "What's the question?"

Lin Changhuan thought thoughtfully, "Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?"

Yang Yan joked angrily, "I thought so, what's for breakfast? What's for lunch? What's for dinner?"

Seeing that the other two were not smiling, Yang Yan shook his head resentfully, straightened his body and continued fishing.

Lin Changhuan was unhappy, put down the fishing rod in his hand, got up and walked along the lake, picking up stones on the ground from time to time, and throwing them into the lake one by one.Watching the stone sink, she felt that she was also like a stone, which could be discarded at will without any pity.

Yang Yan stared at Chang Huan, turned to Lin Xun and said, "It seems that Wen Wushuang will have to teach her something else in the future, such a profound philosophical question, she is a child, it is too early."

Lin Xun frowned and said nothing.Chang Huan was brought up by him, so how could he not know what she was thinking.Now he is only worried that one day, when she knows all the truth, she will bruise herself all over her body, and then leave the Lin family and herself without hesitation.And this was the last thing he wanted to see.

The float was shaking, Yang Yan grabbed Lin Xun's fishing rod, stood up and raised it violently, only to see a one-foot-long black fish holding the hook in its mouth, flicking its tail.

Yang Yan drew up the line and said, "What are you thinking about? I'm so preoccupied that I didn't even notice the fish was hooked." At the same time, he shouted at Lin Changhuan, "Xiao Huanhuan, eat grilled fish..."

When the group returned to Bieyuan, Yang Yan handed the fish to the kitchen and ordered to make charcoal-grilled spicy grilled fish.

After lunch, Chang Huan went to the hot spring pool in the southeast corner of the other garden to soak in the hot springs. After he was tired, he changed into clean purple clothes and went back to the house to prepare a birthday gift for Lin Xun.

In previous years, Lin Xun liked all the birthday gifts she made by herself.She gave away the clay figurines she made, the flowers she planted, and the tea sets and wine sets she baked together with Yang Yan... This time, the gift she wants to give is a painting.

The scene in the backyard of Anping Hall yesterday was still vivid in her memory, and she wanted to draw that moment and give it to her second uncle.

It's just that Chang Huan was so engrossed in the painting that he didn't realize that it wasn't just Yang Yan and Lin Xun who appeared on the paper, even the woman in white clothes yesterday was unconsciously drawn, and it was full of ink and color, and it took a lot of space.

At first Chang Huan thought about it, but he was reluctant to destroy the painting.Carefully dried the painting, rolled it up, and made a new one, until I was satisfied, and then stretched.Then he picked up the painting and went to find Lin Xun.

At night, the bright moon is in the sky, the stars are shining, and the silence is unusual.

Tables and chairs have already been set up in the courtyard.

On nights around Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight on the mountain is always beautiful, and the moonlight on Xiwu Mountain is even more beautiful.The moonlight seemed to have a kind of magical power, which could turn a person into the most impossible appearance on weekdays.

Perhaps, it is not only the magic power of moonlight, but also the joy of birthdays and festivals, and the sake of wine.

That night, even Lin Yuer, who has always been strict, had the gentleness of a mother, and looked at Chang Huan with a little more pity.

The meal was almost finished, and everyone was chatting.

Chang Huan asked suddenly, "Second Uncle, didn't you say that you want to go to the highland outside the other garden to enjoy the moon?" As he spoke, he winked at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun should be, Yang Yan and Chang Huan will go out with him.

Lin Yu'er didn't say anything, but just told the servants to bring the cloak.

The night on the mountain is much colder, after all, it is a bit earlier than the season at the bottom of the mountain.Fortunately, I wore a big cloak, otherwise I would have caught a cold from the wind.Especially the second uncle, who has always been in poor health.

After going out, Chang Huan walked away wisely, only to find out that he forgot to give Yang Yan the wine in his hand.They simply took the Moon Spring a little further away.

And there is the most beautiful scenery of Xiwu Mountain in her eyes.

Especially when the sun sets in spring and summer, the steaming mist of the waterfall is like a fairyland.But in this season, there are only a few slowly flowing water streams left in the waterfall, quietly converging into a pool of spring water in the valley.

This is also the place that Chang Huan had agreed on yesterday. I don't know if the woman in white will come tonight, but as he got closer, Chang Huan became more and more anxious, and his pace slowed down inadvertently.
