white hair bath red

Ye Ying stayed in Jianzhong for six years.

In the spring of 719 A.D., when the [-]nd Famous Sword Conference of Tibetan Sword Villa was about to take place, Ye Mengqiu sent someone to recall his eldest son, and Ye Ying, who had lived alone in Jianzhong for six years, returned to the village.

At dusk, the Tibetan sword disciples guarding the gate of the villa saw a thin and straight figure walking down the mountain road from a distance, with a long sword on his back, and his black hair fluttering gently in the evening wind. Ye Ying, who had passed six years, was not their memory. The appearance of the boy in the picture, only the red plum printed on the forehead can make them recognize one or two.

"Young Master!"

Walking lightly to the front of the villa, looking at the Tibetan sword disciples saluting, the young man nodded slightly, and went straight to the villa.

Someone had already told Ye Mengqiu all the way. Hearing that Ye Ying had returned home, as a father, his mood was slightly complicated. This son stayed in Jianzhong for six years, and he didn't care about the outside world, even during the holidays. After coming back, I don't know if he has improved his swordsmanship after such a long time. If he still has no achievements as before, then he shouldn't force him anymore.

Ye Mengqiu can have such an idea, thanks to his third son, Ye Wei, who has been very different from his two elder brothers since he reached the age of practicing swords. He is talented and fond of swordsmanship. The Peerless Sword was given to him.It's just that Ye Wei's heart is impetuous, his thinking is jumping out, and he is not as calm as the previous two sons in doing things.

Alas, if only the advantages of these sons could be concentrated.

"Father, I'm back."

Ye Mengqiu was still distracted when a cold voice appeared at the door. He looked up, and it was just when the sky was full of sunset. The young man outside the door was standing upright with his eyes lowered. The surrounding air was as calm as water.

He opened his mouth in surprise. Ye Mengqiu felt that this son had become very different. After six years away, he had grown a lot taller and thinner. He also seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes inside. He couldn't describe what it was exactly. .Suppressing the inexplicable feeling in his heart, he nodded, "Just come back, stay with me and your mother for dinner, and call all the younger brothers by the way."

The boy bowed his head in response.

Cangjian Villa had a long-lost reunion dinner. The owner’s wife, who hadn’t seen his son for six years, naturally kept wiping away tears and asking for warmth. Ye Hui and Ye Wei were very happy to see their eldest brother come back. Ye Ying has already retreated, so she has never seen this big brother, and she is very curious about him.

After the meal, Ye Mengqiu called his two older sons to the study to explain the important matters of the famous sword meeting until late at night.

The bright moon hangs high, and the cool moonlight shines on the bluestone road. Ye Ying follows her memory and returns to her residence alone. She has not returned for six years, and this place is still a familiar scene.The main house was brightly lit, and the warm yellow light shone on her body through the window paper, dispelling the coldness in the wind. Ye Ying took a light breath and walked over slowly.

Before stepping onto the corridor, the gaze projected from the corner made him stand still.Behind the crimson colonnade was a section of emerald clothes and a few strands of blue hair dancing in the wind. Ye Ying raised her eyebrows and stepped forward.

who?

The figure behind the pillar immediately ran around the corner, carefully lying behind the wall and sticking out half of its head.Ye Ying was stunned, it was a very petite child, his blinking eyes brought back his long memories.

"Are you... Jingshu?"

Hearing the words, her dark eyes retracted immediately, and her small body jumped into the shadows nimbly like a cat. Ye Ying caught up with her in three steps and two steps, and watched the little girl trot in front, turn a corner, and rush into the shadows. went through a door.

The familiar doors and windows made Ye Ying look up, it was her bedroom, the little girl must have come to look for Gu Xinlan.He breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped into the room, just in time to meet the eyes of the wet nurse who came out after cleaning up inside, he bent slightly, "Aunt Lan, I'm back."

Gu Xinlan was stunned for a moment, the tall and straight young man in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, she blinked her eyes for a while, her vision blurred, "Master Young Master, you are back!"

"Aunt Lan has worked hard these years." Ye Ying lowered her eyes and saw the little girl hiding behind Gu Xinlan, "I didn't expect Jingshu to grow up so big."

"Yeah, it's been six years." Gu Xinlan lowered her tearful eyes, lamented how time flies, and then pulled Jing Shu who was holding the corner of her clothes to her, "Come on, Jing Shu, ask the young master Say hello."

Unexpectedly, Jing Shu let go of Gu Xinlan and got back behind her, revealing a pair of black eyes to look at Ye Ying, her small mouth was tightly pursed, and her eyebrows were also twisted into a pimple.

"This child..." Gu Xinlan was helpless, strange, she was not afraid of life on weekdays, why did she hide when she saw Ye Ying? "Young Master, don't be surprised."

"It's okay." Ye Ying saw the bedroom that had been tidied up, and knew that Gu Xinlan must have started tidying up as soon as she received the news, "It's getting late, Aunt Lan, hurry up and go to rest."

"Okay, okay, the young master also rested earlier." Gu Xinlan pulled Jing Shu behind her, thinking to let her say goodbye to Ye Ying, but the little girl clenched her clothes tighter, so she had to do so to avoid embarrassment. He directly took her hand and went out.

Jing Shu has been in the small courtyard for six years, and the other servants in the courtyard are familiar with it. Since she can walk, she often walks and dances in the courtyard.But now that Ye Ying came back, Gu Xinlan was worried that Jingshu would disturb his daily life, and was thinking about how to let her go to play elsewhere, but found that the little girl actually didn't leave the courtyard door all day long, so she was bored in the room .

"Jingshu, why don't you go out to play?" During the lunch break, Gu Xinlan saw Jingshu still sitting quietly on the couch, motionless like an old monk in meditation.

Wu Liuliu looked at the open window and door without speaking.

Seeing this, Gu Xinlan had no choice but to put down the needle and thread in her hand, sat next to Jing Shu, and touched her smooth forehead, "Daughter, are you feeling unwell?"

Jing Shu shook her head.

"What's the matter?" Gu Xinlan caressed her thin forehead hair, "Is there something on your mind?"

Jing Shu pursed her lips tightly, but remained silent.

That's something on her mind. After raising the child for six years, Gu Xinlan knew very well that her governor, Zao Hui, couldn't handle it with common sense. "Mother, will you take me out to play? Go to the street?"

Of course, Gu Xinlan couldn't simply take Jingshu out, she was going to the town to pick cloth, and Ye Ying was already 14 years old, and her previous clothes didn't fit well, so she wanted to prepare some new materials for him to make clothes.

The Famous Sword Conference is coming soon, there is a lot of people in the town, and there are many people from the rivers and lakes. Gu Xinlan took Jing Shu carefully to avoid the crowds and came to the silk shop under the name of the Ye family, looking for suitable silks and satins under the leadership of the store manager.

Gu Xinlan was talking to the boss, while Jing Shu leaned against the door and stared at the people coming and going in a daze, she didn't know where her mind was drifting away, when two young men in yellow shirts suddenly broke into her field of vision, Mr. It attracted the attention of the women around, but the little girl's mouth pouted, and she didn't even want to look at it.

It so happened that one of the two was looking this way, "Isn't that the little girl adopted by Aunt Lan?"

Ye Ying was surprised when she heard her second younger brother, and followed his line of sight to see Jing Shu who was leaning against the gate of Silk Village, and when she sensed that someone was staring at those dark eyes, she also turned around, and saw their sizing up her petite body. He shrank back immediately, and the two of them were taken aback for a while.

"Strange, that girl wasn't so timid before?" Ye Hui looked suspiciously at the small figure huddled behind the door, obviously hiding after seeing them.

It just so happened that Gu Xinlan had finished talking with the owner of the silk village, and took Jingshu's hand to go back to the village. She was walking towards the Ye family brothers, and when she saw them, she greeted them in surprise, "Master Young Master, Second Young Master."

"Aunt Lan." The two brothers greeted each other politely, and Ye Hui, Ye Ying's respected wet nurse, naturally respected her too.

Jing Shu, who was hiding behind Gu Xinlan, poked out half of her head, her bushy eyelashes slapped, her eyes ignored Ye Ying and went to Ye Hui, and she softly called out: "Hi, Second Young Master."

Ye Hui smiled and patted Jingshu's head, "You're so cute."

After asking, Jing Shu retracted her head, making it clear that she didn't want to talk to Ye Ying.Qing Juan's gaze was a little dazed, and then disappeared without a trace in a moment.

The Ye family brothers were ordered by their father to patrol the streets secretly. The Tibetan Sword Villa held a famous sword meeting. Three religions and nine streams of dragons and snakes were mixed in the town.

After watching the two brothers leave, Gu Xinlan, who seemed to have seen something, squatted down in front of Jing Shu, "Jing Shu, don't you want to tell mother that you are avoiding the young master these days?"

Ye Ying's footsteps paused slightly among the two people who were going away, her clear eyes turned slightly to the small figure gradually obscured by the crowd behind her, and her immature childlike face turned slightly, as if she was being talked about.

Why avoid him?Ye Ying didn't think of an answer to this question.

After returning to the village that day, the two brothers stayed in their father's study for a while before returning to their respective residences.As soon as Ye Ying stepped into the courtyard door, she saw a bunch of servants crowded in the back compartment, and a doctor came out with a medicine box on his back after a while.

A passing servant bowed beside Ye Ying and reported that Gu Xinlan was hit by a man riding a fast horse on the way back to the village in the afternoon and broke his hand, and the man on horseback disappeared all of a sudden.

In the room, Gu Xinlan, whose right hand was tied with a splint, was reclining on the couch, sweat dripping from her forehead.Jing Shu was next to her and carefully wiped her face with a wrung-out towel, her immature face was full of nervousness, "Mother, does it hurt?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Gu Xinlan pinched the little face that was about to cry, "Good boy, it's all over, don't be afraid."

Jing Shu bit her lip, widened her eyes and tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes, holding on to Gu Xinlan's sleeve tightly and not letting go.

There was a light knock on the door, and the young man's steady voice sounded outside, "Aunt Lan."

"It's the Young Master." Gu Xinlan struggled to get up but her wrists were sore, she had no choice but to coax the girl beside her, "Jingshu, be good, go and open the door."

The little girl climbed out of bed with red eyes, wiped her face indiscriminately before opening the door, opened the door with a sniff, and hid behind the door to meet the boy's slightly dazed eyes.

Ye Ying was stunned for a while before remembering her business, and stepped into the room, "Aunt Lan, I heard that you were injured, so I came here to take a look."

"Oh, it doesn't matter." Gu Xinlan sighed, "Such a fast horse passed by in a flash and I don't know who it is. I see a lot of people were knocked down along the way."

"Don't worry, Aunt Lan, I'll find out about this matter." Ye Ying's eyes were condensed, and she blamed herself in her heart. If she had known that she would have met them then, she should have accompanied them back to the villa.

"It's good that the young master has the heart, and if you can't find it, you don't have to force it." Gu Xinlan looked at her hands, "It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to serve the young master during this time."

"Aunt Lan is very good at giving birth. I will send some supplements." Ye Ying and Gu Xinlan talked for a while, and when they got up to leave, they didn't see Jing Shu by the door. A group of girls paused for a moment before walking over with light steps.

Jing Shu felt the shadows around her shaking, and raised her head buried between her knees, and saw that it was Ye Ying who buried her head again.

Seeing her depressed appearance, Ye Ying knelt down and comforted her: "Don't worry, Aunt Lan will be fine."

The little girl still buried her head, not sure if she was in a bad mood or simply didn't want to talk to him.

Ye Ying hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I need some clues, do you remember what the person who bumped into you looked like?"
