14.Chapter 14 Meeting the family for the first time
After leaving the mansion gate, we passed through a number of magnificent houses and buildings, and walked for more than half an hour before arriving at the Jingxinyuan, the northernmost residence of "Yue Jinghua", mother and daughter, located in Liejiabao.
Jingxin Courtyard, as its name suggests, is located in a remote place and does not see sunlight all year round.
A simple courtyard gate and a few small intestine-sized paths are the general structure of the Jingxin courtyard.
The vegetation in the courtyard was in decay, with only a few thin bamboos barely surviving in the corners. After ordering people to send Yue Chen back to his residence, Yue Jinghua walked to the flower hall.
Lie Rou was sitting in the courtyard, weeping alone. Suddenly, when the palace guard at the main gate came to report that her daughter Yue Jinghua was back, she suddenly turned from sadness to joy and hurriedly got up and went out to greet her.
"Hua'er!" Just after entering the courtyard gate, Yue Jinghua heard an urgent call. On the narrow flower path, a beautiful woman in green clothes came up to her, hugged herself, and started crying.
.
"Mom, the baby is back," Yue Xiaoqi, who was an orphan in her previous life, sniffed the wisps of warmth coming from the woman's body, her heart softened, she hesitated, then put her arms around the woman and comforted her softly.
"Let mother take a good look at it. My poor child has suffered a lot these days. Let mother take a good look at it, but there is..." Lierou's eyes turned red as she looked at her daughter who had been out for more than a month.
His eyes, which were originally red, were slightly startled after seeing Yue Jinghua's expression clearly: "My son, you have become stronger, you seem to be taller, and your complexion has improved. This..."
Lie Rou had already prepared a lot of words to say, but unexpectedly he saw his daughter clearly. She had not seen her for a month. There was a bit more confidence in her features, her figure was still slim, and the ugly scar on her right face didn't seem so dazzling.
Now, the most eye-catching thing is that Hua'er's eyebrows are smooth and generous, without the timidity of the past, which makes people's eyes light up when they look at it.
This is good. The sad words that Lie Rou was about to slip out suddenly became a bit funny.
Yue Jinghua is also sizing up Lierou. People in ancient times got married early. Although Lierou has been a mother and wife for more than ten years, she is only in her thirties.
After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Yue Jinghua secretly praised her.
Lierou has beautiful eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and a white magnolia in her hair, which makes her even more beautiful and elegant. The only flaw is that her eyes are dull and she has a melancholy and haggard look on her face.
"It's good to come back. We don't care about Xuanji Academy anymore. Mom, I just want you to live a safe life without any disasters," Lierou murmured in a low voice with tears in her eyes, her hands kept touching Yue Jinghua's face.
Rubbing it.
Yue Jinghua's ears felt a little sour when hearing these words.
Perhaps influenced by the blood relationship in the body of "Yue Jinghua", she developed a liking for Lierou as soon as she saw her.
This poor woman lost her father and mother when she was young, and her husband's family went bankrupt, so she was even more cautious when living under the care of others.
"Jinghua, Ri Liemeng's letter said that you were kidnapped. Who rescued you and how did you come back? Did Liemeng come back with you?" Lierou sighed with emotion.
A few days earlier, Lie Meng had sent a letter home, saying that he would return home in a few days. The letter mentioned that he had hunted two second-level mysterious pills, but did not mention the news of Yue Jinghua's rescue.
The whole Liejia Fort, especially the third room, had long been prepared to put up lanterns and streamers to welcome Liemeng back home.
Yue Jinghua sneered in her heart, "Come back? That kid has long since become the man-eating green cattails."
"Mom, I will talk to you about these things in detail when I have time in the future. Yue Chen is injured, and the doctor from the mansion will come over later. Let's go take a look first." Yue was shocked when she met Yue Chen on the way.
Hua Cai had to go back to Liejiabao first. She originally planned to report to Xuanji Academy first, randomly choose a second-level Xuan Dan, hand it in, and complete the trial.
"Chen'er was injured? Who did it?" Lierou looked a little helpless after listening to Yue Jinghua's story.
Yue Jinghua explained what happened, and she accompanied Lie Rou to Yue Chen's residence.
Jingxinyuan was originally the place where Lie Rou's mother, Feng Wanwan, made elixirs. After Feng Wanwan died, Lie Changgong left the courtyard in the cold for fear of seeing things and missing people.
Until the three Lierou Niangs were forced to move back to Liejiapu, the two brothers of the Lie family vacated the courtyard, which had been in disrepair for a long time, because they thought the three were a nuisance.
Although the Jingxin Courtyard is somewhat crude, it is also the most spacious courtyard in Liejiabao, with four corridors dividing it into four large rooms.
Lierou lived in the east chamber, Yue Jinghua lived in the west chamber, and Yue Chen lived in the south chamber. As for the north chamber, it was originally the location of the alchemy furnace, but it was later turned into a study by Lierou.
As we approached the south chamber, a tangy fragrance of vegetation hit our nostrils.
The Eastern Continent has entered autumn at this time, and there are scenes of withering grass and trees everywhere, but Yue Chen's residence is full of green willows and red flowers.
"Are these planted by Yue Chen?" Yue Jinghua couldn't help but wonder.
In Canglong Continent, due to the practice of Xuan Qi, most men practice Xuan Qi, and few people will plant these flowers and plants at home.
Seeing Yue Jinghua's surprised look, Lierou smiled and said, "He planted them all. Because my mother didn't sleep well in the past few days, he even specially sent a pot of sleepweed and placed it in my room, saying it was
It helps me sleep, and my sleep has really improved a lot these days.”
Yue Chen has been fond of flowers and plants since he was a child. "Yue Jinghua" has often disliked him for this before, and the relationship between the two siblings has never been good.
The two of them carried each other and entered the south chamber.
When they arrived at Yue Chen's door and the flower bed, they heard the sound of earth turning.
Yue Chen stood up hurriedly.
He was only ten years old, and his figure had not yet opened up. He had a pair of round eyes and lips as red as petals.
After returning to the wing, he had changed his clothes. After seeing Yue Jinghua, his delicate face turned a thin layer of red, like a layer of rouge.
What surprised Yue Jinghua was that all the bruises and wounds on Yue Chen's face and body were gone. Her skin was so tender that you could almost squeeze out water, and she looked like a little young lady like dough.
"I was beaten like a pig's head just now, but in the blink of an eye, I was all healed. I think my body is too weak," Yue Jinghua said involuntarily, raising her hand to pinch Yue Chen's face.
"?" Yue Chen was startled. The pickaxe in his hand fell to the ground, and his face was pinched firmly. His face became redder and redder, but he did not dare to fight back. He just had a pair of dark eyes.
, stared wide open.
Yue Jinghua put his hands on it and felt that it felt good, so he simply shared his hands, poking and kneading them, treating Yue Chen's little face like a dough ball.
Yue Chen's bun-shaped face immediately turned into a red persimmon, and he didn't dare to struggle, so he could only pout.
Lie Rou was also surprised. "Yue Jinghua" has not been close to Yue Chen since she was a child, and Yue Chen has such a temper, but looking at the scene where the two get along now, they look like siblings who have a good friendship.
Yue Chen and Lie Rou were both stunned. Yue Jinghua suddenly retracted her hand and looked at the entrance of the courtyard with sharp eyes. After seeing the person coming, her expression softened slightly.
"Madam, something serious has happened," Hong Ling hurried over. After meeting Yue Jinghua, she was ecstatic at first, and then became nervous: "Miss, you are back. But something happened to Master Liemeng.
, the third master is leading people here, saying he wants to interrogate you."
