171 Mysterious Bamboo Forest Former Residence 1-Wangenbi
After Qi Minghe exchanged a few words with Gu Xuechun, Gu Xuechun turned back three times every step of the way until he walked out of Huangfu Mansion, got on the carriage that Gu Mansion had come to pick him up, and left without looking back.
Qi Minghe also didn't expect that someone who clearly liked Yiyu would actually become "friends" with him in the end?
At this moment, he just stood there, looking in the distance in the direction Gu Xuechun left for a moment.
"Miss?" Qinglian said.
At this time, a large number of people had left, leaving only Qi Minghe standing here.
"Miss Gu, everyone has been sent away, shall we go back?"
For Qinglian, the trouble of robbing her uncle is gone, which means that there will finally be peace for a period of time in the future. From now on, the young lady and uncle Huangfu will be able to enjoy the peace and love in Huangfu's mansion.
At this time, Qi Minghe just stood there and did not reply to Qinglian's words.
Qinglian just frowned and called out again: "Miss?"
Qi Minghe finally came to his senses at this time and looked back: "Yeah."
"Shall we go back to the east courtyard?"
Qi Minghe didn't answer. He was still standing at the door. He waited until Gu Xuechun's carriage was really far away and out of sight, then turned around quietly.
She turned around and limped away. As soon as she took a few steps away from the threshold, there was a sound of the door closing behind her.
As soon as the door is closed, the entire Huangfu Mansion gives the impression that it has carved walls, glazed tiles and vermilion doors, surrounded by green pools, and stacked gardens. It looks like a deep palace disguised under the surface of a big family. Every building is
There are carved railings and painted buildings with various beautiful scenes painted on them.
This kind of delicate and elegant thing has always been available only to the royal family. Every attic and palace is majestic and magnificent.
Qi Minghe just looked at the gorgeous scene in front of him. Halfway through, he stopped quietly again.
Qinglian was walking behind and almost bumped into her again by accident: "Miss?!"
What's going on? Why do you feel that the lady is even more absent-minded after sending him away?
"Miss, what are you thinking about?"
Qi Minghe did not answer her, but stood quietly not far from the door, looking at the broad avenue in front of him, as well as the trees in Huangfu Mansion, and the palaces on both sides of the central axis that were symmetrical in the east and west.
, indescribable majesty and momentum.
Ever since I got married, I have never taken a good look at the scenery in Huangfu's mansion, and I have never seriously explored it.
As for the people and things in Huangfu's mansion, she didn't know much...Huangfu Yiyu would never tell her, and even if she asked, she would explain it perfunctorily.
It was known from the beginning that there was only one legitimate son in the Huangfu Mansion, and that was Yiyu. But while Wenrun's reputation was widely spread, everyone knew that he was blind. But what is the truth? Yiyu is basically blind.
I'm not blind, what about Huangfu's mansion...what other incredible things are there?
After all, how many secrets are hidden?
At this moment, I just looked at the unfamiliar and soon-to-be-familiar scenery in front of me.
Now that you have just married, what will happen in the future?
I want to... live here for the rest of my life, and I want to be with Yiyu for the rest of my life.
If she couldn't find the answer to something, she would find an answer herself.
"Qinglian."
"What's the matter, miss?"
"Let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Wander around Huangfu's mansion at will."
"Ah...? Miss, if we don't go back to the east courtyard, where should we go?" Qinglian could only think about the huge Huangfu Mansion at this time. Even the famous Sunset Lake was included in Huangfu Mansion. So,
How big is the entire Huangfu Mansion? You actually...want to visit such a huge Huangfu Mansion?
"Miss, can we not go shopping..."
At this time, before he finished speaking, Qi Minghe had already raised his steps and walked aside.
Qi Minghe walked and watched, and at this time, a man had left the avenue alone.
What's going on in Huangfu's mansion? What's going on with Yiyu...?
I had already roughly understood it before marrying in. Mr. Huangfu had passed away a long time ago. The only people I have seen in Huangfu Mansion now, outside of Yiyu, are only his wife Pu, and his cousin Huangfu Mingxuan.
From the scene of serving tea in the West Courtyard that day, it can be seen that the Pu family and Huangfu Mingxuan have the best relationship. There is no doubt about this...
What about Yiyu? Legend has it that the power of the Huangfu Mansion is now in the hands of two people, one is the mother Pu family, and the other is naturally Yiyu... Most of them are in the hands of the Pu family, only Xiao Xiao
Part of it is in Yiyu's hands, but it is said that in the past two years, most of it has been gradually transferred to Yiyu's hands.
The reason for such a situation is because Yiyu is blind...
Because he couldn't see, he naturally couldn't take on the important role of Huangfu Mansion.
But... Yiyu is not blind. If he really wanted the power of Huangfu Mansion, how could he let this situation go?
It can only be said that...his original goal was not to gain power in the Huangfu Mansion!
If he still pretends to be blind and hands over power to others, what is his real purpose in Huangfu Mansion?
As Qi Minghe walked at this time, he only intermittently recalled many words he had heard and many things he had encountered.
Yiyu's attitude of not taking Pu and Huangfu Mingxuan seriously...and...the words he heard yesterday, besides being about Yiyu, what else are they?
Those words about the Pu family, and the past events of the Huangfu Mansion that Gu Xuechun inadvertently revealed between the lines.
"Qinglian, you don't usually chat with people in Huangfu's mansion."
"Yes, Miss, what's the matter?" She chatted quite a bit, but Huangfu Mansion had strict rules, and she couldn't make any close friends.
"Have you ever heard about my mother?"
"Miss, which mother are you talking about? Is this the current lady in Huangfu's mansion, or the one from before?"
At this time, after Qinglian finished speaking, she slightly covered her mouth, as if she shouldn't have said it.
Qi Minghe turned around and looked at her like this.
"What did you hear?"
"I didn't hear anything..."
"explain."
At this moment, I happened to walk to a haystack, with a few pots of flowers scattered sparsely. It looked like a sparsely populated area in Huangfu Mansion. There were two forked roads in front of me. It seemed that no one would come here for a while, so Qi Minghe simply went there.
He stopped and stood here.
Since I can't find out through normal channels, I can only pay attention to other places.
"Miss..." Qinglian suddenly stopped and looked around.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just overheard something by chance, and then I asked a few too many questions... Miss, if you want to know, you can actually go back and I will tell you quietly, but... Mrs. Huangfu seems to mind it now.
I want to calm down the rumors and don’t want others to hear me.”
Let’s talk after we go back? When we go back, we will be entangled with Yiyu...
"Just say it here."
Qinglian couldn't resist Qi Minghe's gaze at this moment, "Well, let me tell you, actually I didn't hear anything. I just knew that there were two ladies in Huangfu's mansion, and these two ladies were equally divided. Huangfu
When the master was here, they were equal wives, but... the current wife has no children, so her status is actually lower than that of the other wife... That wife has children, who is our uncle...
"
Qi Minghe listened quietly. In fact, she knew this. She heard a little about it yesterday when she and Gu Xuechun looked up at the moon on the rockery.
"However, what is curious is... Mr. Huangfu is really a strange man. Logically speaking, Huangfu's family has such a big business, so he should be anxious to find a successor. However, there is only one heir in Huangfu's house, my uncle, but I have never seen him.
He was so nervous that he still tolerated the fact that there were only two wives in Huangfu's mansion..." Logically speaking, he should have a few more concubines and so on.
"From everyone's guess, it seems that Mr. Huangfu really likes that lady."
Qi Minghe just stood in the middle of the path, listening quietly.
Logically speaking, it is indeed not normal. There is only Yiyu in the Huangfu Mansion, and Yiyu is blind. Who will be responsible for the heavy responsibility of the Huangfu Mansion in the future? I am afraid that this issue should be considered when he is born.
"Anything else? Did you hear something?"
Why did she say that when she asked her these things, her mother, Mrs. Pu, now cares about these words?
Do you mind? Why do you mind?
"I haven't heard much about other things. I just heard that someone said with emotion about this wedding. If nothing happened to Madam, she would be very happy to see such a happy look... Also, there are very few people in Huangfu Mansion now.
Some people dare to talk about that lady, and the reason seems to be because...two years ago, something happened to her and she died, so the mansion keeps tabs on it."
Qi Minghe froze and stared: "Dead...?"
"Yes, I heard that on the way to the temple to pray for blessings, the carriage and the man accidentally fell off the cliff, and something happened... It is said that my uncle was seriously ill at the time, and he sent someone to order whether it was to search the mountain or
Even if the entire mountain is dug flat, the people must be found..."
"At that time, my uncle had not gone out for many years. He was just blind, covered with white silk and riding out. People in the mansion said that they had never seen such a gentle young master be so heartbroken. Later, he was found.
By that time, the lady had already been beaten to a bloody pulp, and it was too miserable to look at..."
"Later on, for fear of irritating my uncle, no one dared to mention my wife's affairs casually. After the grand burial, the matter gradually subsided."
"It is said that because the lady was beautiful during her lifetime, after her death, it was taboo for the lady now and she doesn't like to mention it, so the lady...that's all."
"..." Qi Minghe retracted his hand slightly and listened to all these words.
It turned out to be like this, so no wonder the situation in Huangfu's mansion is like this now... If the lady is really still there, it stands to reason that she should be the one to call her mother, not Pu, right?
At this time, I thought about the tea ceremony in the West Courtyard that day. It turned out that she was not my biological mother, so I didn't feel any pain.
No wonder Yiyu never paid attention to her.
Qi Minghe just raised his head and looked at the scenery of Huangfu Mansion. Then he noticed that the place where he stopped at this time was neither the main hall of Huangfu Mansion, nor on the central axis, nor did it belong to the east and west courtyards.
As I walked, I originally wanted to take a look around, but where was this?
"Where have we been?"
Qinglian had just said so many words and had been nervous. Now she quickly came to her senses and then looked up following Qi Minghe's words.
I can only see the lush shade of trees above my head. The trees are huge and overlap each other. It can be seen that they are some years old. There are two forked roads in front of me. How can I tell where this is?
"Miss, I don't know..."
Huangfu Mansion is so big, even people who have lived there for several years may accidentally go in the wrong direction... Not to mention that she just came in not long ago, so she is really unfamiliar with it.
Qi Minghe stood stunned for a while, and now he has reached a dead end. Even if he wants to visit Huangfu Mansion, he can't get lost like this?
"That's all, let's go back the way we came."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he turned around and prepared to go back the same way and walk out of this place that resembled his old home in the jungle, but... just as he turned back, he stiffened slightly again.
…
All I could see was that the road I was coming from behind was also a fork in the road, and I had no idea which way I came from.
At this moment, he turned around again and looked at the two forked roads in front of him and the two forked roads behind him: "..."
Qinglian said: "It's over, miss, we seem to be really lost."
"Where are we going now?"
Qi Minghe looked at it for a while. It didn't look like anyone would come here for a while. The possibility of catching a maid and then asking for directions back to the east courtyard was extremely slim.
"Forget it, let's take a walk and take a look." Qi Minghe decided.
At this moment, I just looked at the two unknown roads in front of me. No matter where I went, I knew nothing about it. Since I had walked straight from the gate, there must be a place that could lead to it, otherwise there would be no way to go.
There will be so many roads in front of you...
"The worst thing is, when time passes and we really can't go back, someone will naturally come looking for us."
Just like that, he no longer hesitated, tossed his sleeves free and easy, raised his feet and chose a fork in the road to leave.
One road has some yellow flowers and grass growing on it, and the other road has bamboos swaying in the wind.
Qi Minghe casually stepped onto this path full of bamboo, and subconsciously liked this one. Although the yellow flowers and plants were warm, they felt too petty no matter how they looked at them. A bamboo forest with character felt better.
We are all lost anyway... just find a path that feels good and go there.
"Hey, miss, please wait for me." Qinglian caught up.
Now I am heading this way. It is different from the road I walked just now. Although this place is still in the Huangfu Mansion, it looks like a remote residence, and it doesn't look like someone comes here often. The more I walk, the more uneasy I feel.
Just when I thought I would reach a dead end in a deserted place, I walked through the bamboo path and suddenly it became clear!
In front of me was an inexplicable and strange courtyard.
The strange thing is that this courtyard is neither on the central axis of Huangfu Mansion, nor is it affiliated with the east and west courtyards. It seems to be outside it.
Qi Minghe stared slightly and stopped outside the fenced courtyard, then heard the sound of flute playing slowly coming from inside.
