At the time when they were moved beyond words, they suddenly heard a sound of "hula", which instantly attracted the attention of both of them.When I looked again, it was the sound of Hanyan taking a small stone and throwing it on the water for some reason.

The old turtle was also obviously startled by the sound, and slowly poked his head out to have a look, then he stretched his limbs and slowly crawled towards the lake again.

Baoyu wondered, "What are you doing?"

"It's just that I saw a pair of mandarin ducks parked over there just now," Han Yan raised her eyes, with a slight smile on her lips, "so I wanted to scare them. Then it disappeared.”

"What's so good about mandarin ducks?" Baoyu couldn't help laughing, "There are a lot of them in the garden here, as well as wild ducks, deer, etc., just for these girls to watch. How do you like these things? ?”

Han Yan chuckled softly, and the color of her eyes darkened slightly, from the original light amber color to a thick, indelible brown that seemed to be mixed with honey.He leaned on the railing, glanced at Baoyu, who obviously didn't know anything, and said meaningfully: "It's not for other reasons. It's just that the mandarin duck's feathers are so good, so it attracts other mandarin ducks. No way, I have to be this villain and abduct him, so that everyone will be clean."

Yingchun's expression was also frozen, she pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word.

Baoyu said with a smile, "It's just a mandarin duck. If you like one, you can give it to you. It's not worth anything. Isn't that the one you want? The one with the most beautiful feathers?"

The mandarin duck he was pointing at was slowly swimming over, with a touch of emerald green above its head, and in the silvery moonlight, its gorgeous feathers were also shining brightly, each piece glowing with a faint silver color.It casually pecked at its own feathers, then shrank its neck, as if it was about to fall asleep.

Han Yan narrowed her eyes, seeming to find it quite interesting: "Okay, that's it."

Baoyu also got a little interested, just wanting to find something fun, so she hurriedly asked the girl to bring a net bag and tie it to a long bamboo pole, and stood far away on the shore, trying hard to get the Only mandarin ducks circle into the net.Yingchun looked at it with a smile, and said softly: "Be careful, it's cold, don't splash your clothes."

"You should..."

Suddenly someone's body came up behind him, and his breath gently brushed the hair on top of his head.The cold smoke surrounded him, and covered his hands with his hands. The skin on his hands rubbed gently, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, slowly guiding him to throw the net bag farther and farther.

"so?"

Baoyu tried his best to stretch his arms, but it happened that a cloud in the sky covered the moonlight at this time, and everything he looked at was dark, and he could only see a rough shadow.When he was trying to distinguish, he felt his hand sink suddenly, and he couldn't help saying happily: "I caught it!"

Han Yan helped him pull the net bag back with force.The girl who followed them from afar rushed up to untie it, and then took out the little thing trapped by the net with great effort. Yingchun also smiled and approached, and the three of them waited for the loot to appear with burning eyes.

When the servant girl held up the things in her hands for the masters to see, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Baoyu: "..."

Han Yan: "...Pfft."

Only Yingchun has always been kind, even so, she couldn't bear to laugh at Baoyu, she just shook her head, and the corners of her lips couldn't help twitching upwards.

Where is the mandarin duck with bright feathers in the net bag?It was clearly the old turtle who had just returned to the river just now!

The three of them stared at the innocent old turtle for a long time, but Baoyu felt ashamed that his face was going to burn.He thought for a long time, and Fang Ruowei said: "This is about the same size as that mandarin duck..."

"Almost, almost." Han Yan held back a smile and said, "Very good, that's all, thank you, Mr. Bao, for the gift."

The old turtle blinked mung bean eyes slowly, not knowing what happened to him for a while.

Why in a blink of an eye... I returned to the shore again?

Three days later, Duke Protector Liu Qing took care of everything, and personally took the carriage to the gate to pick up Han Yan back to the Duke Protector's Mansion where the plaque was newly replaced.And opened the ancestral hall on the second day, worshiped the ancestors, changed the family tree, and wrote the name of his only son as his only heir on it.

Hanyan's original name was Liu Yan, but after all, it was the name of her daughter's family, so it must not be used anymore; if it was according to what Liu Qing said, it would be simple, just add another word after these two words, and change it to "Liu Yanzhi" good.However, for some unknown reason, Hanyan directly rejected this proposal and insisted on entering the ancestral hall under the name of "Liu Hanyan".

Lord Protector looked at his son these days with guilt in his eyes, so he didn't want to go against his mind on this kind of thing, so he agreed.

From then on, Liu Hanyan officially appeared in the eyes of the world as the general of the Duke Protector's Mansion.

Not to mention how people in the world are talking about Liu Qing's sudden extra son, but this Liu Hanyan is not only outstanding in appearance, but also very talented.Liu Qing personally taught him for a few days, and he became more and more aware of his son's intelligence and brilliance, so he felt pity for him, and personally took care of everything in the mansion, and he really didn't suffer any grievances.

When the Huguogong's mansion hosted a banquet for the guests, Baoyu, as a benefactor, was naturally dismissed, and got into the carriage with Lian's second grandmother, Niu Wan.Niu Wan had no choice but to go with her mother because of her nephew's constant noise, so she took Jia Ding, who was just two or three years old, with her, got into a red-wheeled canopy car, and drove towards the Duke Huguo's mansion. .

Liu Qing is now the emperor's confidant, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and it is the time when she is hot.Now that his family holds a banquet, it is natural that there are many guests, and the lively place is far better than other houses.There are hibiscus on the mattress and tortoise shells on the banquet, which is a scene of prosperity and excitement.No matter how upset and angry Mrs. Meng was, she had no choice but to come out to entertain the guests and hurriedly greeted them.

Baoyu saw that she was very gentle, without the slightest hint of harshness, with delicate features and striking temperament.It's just that there is no life in the eyes, it is gray and gloomy.And Xiangyun, who is born with a lively nature and a lively nature, also came today. Standing with Xiangyun, she is the flower that has withered and yellowed petals.

Xiangyun bluffed and pulled Baoyu's sleeve, and happily told him some new things in the school: "...It just so happened that there was nothing to do that day, and the cousins ​​and the others were ready to fight with that always serious One face taught their nanny in charge a lesson. They poured a lot of water on the extremely smooth floor, and then called the nanny in charge, but before the nanny arrived at the door, they slipped first. I fell down and fell on the ground like a dog chewing mud, and after I rinsed my mouth several times, I was able to wash out the mud and sand!"

Baoyu listened with a smile, only to feel that in Yu Xiangyun's eyes, every grass and flower, and some insignificant things can become extremely interesting.It is for this reason that when Mrs. Meng entertained them, compared with the vigorous Shi Xiangyun, she seemed to have aged in an instant.

When she saw the young Jia Ting, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly had some spirits: "This is the youngest son in the house, right?"

Niu Wan smiled and said yes, Madam Meng squatted down slightly, took a very fragrant and round grapefruit and coaxed Jia Ting to put his outstretched lotus root-like arms into her arms, shaking him back and forth to make him joke.She teased the child for a long time, and her whole body seemed to come alive suddenly, turning into a gurgling stream of spring water, and ordered the maid to bring many delicate playthings, and handed them to Jia Ting one by one to play with.

Jia Ding opened her pink and tender mouth, and clapped her hands happily, saliva was everywhere.Niu Wan saw that some shiny liquid even got on Mrs. Meng's body, she hurriedly took out her handkerchief, and wanted to take her little ancestor over: "This child, how did you dirty the clothes of Mrs. Meng? …”

"No problem." Mrs. Meng waved her hand indifferently, just like a very ordinary loving mother, softly coaxing, and then took the handkerchief to wipe away the dripping saliva from Jia Yu.It wasn't until the new guest came in that she returned the child to Niu Wan, and said with a smile: "Your son was born really well, and there must be great luck in the future."

Niu Wan hastily thanked her, and only after Mrs. Meng left generously did she sigh deeply: "This is also a miserable person..."

Looking at Mrs. Meng's figure, Baoyu knew her pain in her heart.This world is very unfair to women. She can neither have children, but she has to watch her like-minded husband give birth to a child with a woman beside her. ——How bitter and unspeakable must be in her heart?

But in this matter, who is at fault?

The protector is just drunk, the maid is just forced to do so, Mrs. Meng is just sad, Hanyan is the most innocent, unborn and suffers the most - the whole thing is like a bottomless swamp It is not enough to swallow only one person, it is better to drag all the people related to this matter into the water and sink deeply into the darkness.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he couldn't tell how complicated it was.Thinking about the love of my elders and the harmony between my brothers, I feel more and more blessed, and I can't help reminding myself that I must always keep this kindness in my heart.

"Speaking of which," Shi Xiangyun tugged at Baoyu's lapel, and wondered, "Third brother, what is that big porcelain basin on the table? Is it for food?"

Baoyu looked up, and there had already gathered a group of sons and gentlemen, such as Feng Ziying, Daiyu, Wang Xifeng, etc., who were also invited here today. When they saw Baoyu from a distance, they hurriedly waved for him to come over.

Wang Xifeng was the first to laugh and said: "I don't know where the protector got such a thing, and he actually took a porcelain basin and put it on the table in such a grand manner. When I saw it suddenly, I thought it was just asking for a bride price from us. ..."

Feng Ziying touched his chin: "Could it be that it has been a thousand years? It's just that no matter how strange it is, it shouldn't be placed on the top of the table like this..." He clenched his left fist and tapped the palm of his right, and said with a smile, "I know, it must be fine."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.Baoyu was curious, and couldn't help leaning forward: "What is it?"

Immediately afterwards, he met a pair of mung bean eyes, and an old turtle in the porcelain basin lazily raised its head to look at him, and it was placed on the table like a god.

Baoyu: ...
