Red Mansion Reader

Chapter 128

It was afternoon, and the sunlight sifted through the shadows of the trees slanted into the half-opened door.A few wooden pillars supporting the beams elongated their shadows on the ground. Chen Heng and Daiyu were standing at the boundary of light and shadow when they heard the strange noises in the lecture hall.

The two of them turned their heads together, and immediately noticed a few children poking their heads outside the door.Across the dust floating in the air, Chen Heng walked through the light and shadow areas one after another, and came to the door to drive these children away.

"Go, go, go back to class and read books."

"Master is inside."

"Then read what you just taught again." Chen Heng couldn't help but continue to chase people away.

He didn't lead Daiyu into the lecture hall until the group of brats hid in the distance.

The situation inside was unavoidably surprising, Miss Zhen was one of the few people sitting, and her hand was held by the elder Mrs. Xie.

Because of the movement of Chen Heng coming in, she slightly raised her head to take a look, then quickly lowered her head.

Baoqin, who was wearing a silk dress with a pomegranate-colored horse-face skirt, pulled the two girls from the Wei family and stood around them, with a bit of anger and disbelief on her face.Not far from this group of people, Jia Yucun was standing still in disbelief.

Chen Heng was a little curious, so he looked at Xue Baoqin with searching eyes.Everyone else didn't look like a master who could explain things clearly in a few words.

Baoqin understood Chen Heng's inquiry, and came to him and Daiyu in small steps.Covering the corners of her mouth with a waist fan, she said softly, "Miss Zhen, she seems to be a girl who learns from old friends."

"There is such a coincidence?" Lin Daiyu exclaimed, unable to believe it for a while.

She had already heard about Miss Zhen's life experience from her elder brother, and she was worried for a while about how the other party would find her family.

It's just that I didn't expect that Miss Zhen would reunite with her old friend just by going out for a walk with Chen Heng.

Chen Heng was shocked, how could he still not understand.The daughter of Jia Yucun's old friend, and the "Yinglian" just now.

It turns out that the person who was abducted by Xu Mazi for more than ten years turned out to be Xiangling who suffered so much in the book.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.

Chen Heng smiled wryly, and now looking at Miss Zhen's appearance, everything became more traceable again.

She has an outstanding appearance, a charming charm, and a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.Doesn't it fit Xiangling's description?

Jia Yucun would meet Yinglian after Chen Heng and Daiyu left, and he was going to get some tea for the children in the classroom.

The sun is a bit big today, and the children will inevitably feel a little thirsty after sitting for a long time.

As soon as he stepped through the door, he bumped into Yinglian who was about to leave.The two looked at each other subconsciously, and Jia Yucun immediately stood there.

After Yinglian walked out of the door, he hurriedly chased after her, tugged at her sleeve, and insisted on asking her age and name.

This time, the people in the lecture hall were startled.Seeing Jia Yucun's anxious expression, Mrs. Xie who rushed over knew that there must be something hidden in it, so she quickly invited them both into the lecture hall.

It wasn't all because of Yinglian's birthmark that Jia Yucun recognized Zhen Yinglian so easily.

You must know that women in the city love flower tins, and prefer delicate and natural dresses. It is also the fashion nowadays to order a natural cinnabar mole by yourself.

In fact, Zhen Yinglian's appearance is very similar to her parents.

The face and lip shape make people think of Zhen Shiyin at a glance.The eyebrows, eyes and nose are almost exactly the same as her mother's.Only then did Jia Yucun recognize Yinglian at a glance.

It's not that Jia Yucun didn't go back to Gusu to look for Zhen Shiyin after high school.He is a scholar who studied hard in a poor window, and once he became a nobleman, he couldn't help showing off to his old friends.

This is human nature, so there is no need to criticize too much.What's more, Jia Yucun also wanted Zhen Shiyin to know that the other party had not misjudged the person, that he was indeed a talent, and that what he lacked before was just an opportunity.As for whether there are other thoughts in mind, there is no need to elaborate now.

It's a pity that when he arrived in Gusu, he found out that the Zhen family had undergone major changes. His beloved daughter was abducted during the Lantern Festival. Brother Zhen and his sister-in-law sold their land and house to look for her everywhere. When he returned, even the ancestral house was turned into ruins.

In this regard, Jia Yucun except sighed: good fortune makes people.He could only leave Gusu very disappointed.

Time flies, and it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye.

Jia Yucun met the Zhen family's sister-in-law again, and married her sister-in-law's servant Jiao Xing.Entrusted by her, Jia Yucun remembered the request to find the Zhen family's father and daughter.

After experiencing Jia Yucun, who was appointed and resigned from office, and traveled all over the world, he came to Yueyi Academy to take over the post of Xuezheng after Mei Jin left.

Due to so many chances and coincidences, he met the daughter of an old man today.

After listening to Bao Qin's story quietly, Chen Heng knew that such a twists and turns happened just after he left.

He really couldn't hold back, and said with emotion: "Could it be that there is a destiny in the dark?"

Lin Daiyu's nostrils were sore when she heard it. A child like her who grew up with the love of her parents will always have more kindness and love for the world.Hearing such an experience of parting and reuniting, even the elder brother with a strong mind would be moved, let alone such a kind girl like her.

"It's really a bodhisattva's blessing. It really makes people wait until the end of all hardships." Lin Daiyu said happily for the other party, "Miss Zhen, I will be reunited with my parents soon."

Chen Heng couldn't help but smiled wryly, his younger sister didn't know.

If it is true according to the book, Miss Zhen's father has already seen through the world of mortals to become a monk, and is wandering around with the teacher.Her mother was easy to find, she was by her grandfather's side.Watching the green light and white cloth every day, waiting for the return of father and daughter.

Chen Heng was thinking about it, but when Jia Yucun saw him, he immediately came forward and saluted Chen Heng.

"Xuezheng, why is this so?" Chen Heng stepped aside in fright.

"I heard from Yinglian that if it weren't for you, she might have been abducted to Jinling by human traffickers." Jia Yucun said with a look of excitement and sadness, "So... so kind, I invite you to be my teacher. "

"Impossible, it is a matter of duty, why should the master do this."

Chen Heng hurriedly lifted each other up, and the two of them gave way again.Finally, under the persuasion of Mrs. Xie, the two gave up for a while and sat back to their seats.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a while, and everyone present was thinking.Chen Heng was also thinking about Miss Zhen's situation.In public and privately, whether the other party is Xiangling or not does not affect his willingness to help the other party.

As early as when Miss Zhen entered the city, he had discussed with Xue Biao and others that after the government office had finished interrogating the traffickers, he would take the information he had inquired to find her family.

Now that this matter is added, Chen Heng looked at Jia Yucun who was still excited, and for a moment didn't know what decision to make.

How credible is the man who personally pushed Xiangling into hell in the original book?

Chen Heng himself didn't know, so he had to ask Jia Yucun in a low voice: "Xuezheng, what are you going to do?"

"Of course, take care of Yinglian first." In front of Xie, Jia Yucun replied without the slightest hesitation, "Now the time is not right, after the new year, I will send a letter to Zhen's family, telling my sister-in-law that she has found her." child."

Seeing that he only mentioned Feng's family, Chen Heng knew that the other party already knew about Zhen Shiyin's monkhood.He pursed his lips slightly, his thoughts changing rapidly.

After all, Jia Yucun and the Zhen family had friendship, and now that they knew each other, Jia Yucun was more qualified and reasoned to take care of Yinglian than anyone else.As for the other things, there is no need to worry too much now, let's find Miss Zhen's mother first.

"My master is benevolent and righteous." Chen Heng put a high hat on the other party, and then looked at Zhen Yinglian who was sizing up carefully. He saw the latter's worry and couldn't help but comfort him: "Miss Zhen, don't worry, we will definitely give your family back as soon as possible." Write a letter. If you have other ideas, you can speak up."

In fact, Zhen Yinglian was also very flustered by Jia Yucun's sudden appearance.She and Jia Yucun had never met each other, but today she was suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, saying that she was an old friend of her father's.She was a little surprised, but also a little panicked and overwhelmed.

Now that Chen Heng could see his mood, he couldn't help but let go of the hands that were holding on to the cloak tightly.Zhen Yinglian stabilized her flustered mood slightly, and said softly: "I... I will listen to you."

Maybe it's the fledgling complex, maybe it's the psychological effect of saving my life.Zhen Yinglian believed in Chen Heng more than Jia Yucun.After all, this young man was the first stranger he met outside.

Sensing the trust in the other party's words, Chen Heng nodded silently.As soon as he didn't speak, the expression on his face naturally calmed down, which made Zhen Yinglian feel inexplicably at ease.

After everyone chatted for a while, Chen Heng got up to leave.

After bidding farewell to a few acquaintances, when Chen Heng and Xinda went out, there was still a small tail behind them.

"Aren't you going to ask Xuezheng more about things at home?"

"...I don't know." Zhen Yinglian lowered her head, as if she was concentrating on her toes. The shoes were a bit worn out. "I want to know, but I'm afraid to know."

Seeing that the other party said three times in a row, Chen Heng also understood the meaning clearly.He thought for a while, then changed the topic to another place, "I just asked Xue's sister to go out with you tomorrow to buy some clothes that fit."

After all, it is inconvenient for Lin Daiyu to go out, but she is not as free as Xue Baoqin.

He explained to the other party, "It's the girl in the horse face skirt. Her brother and I are close friends, so you don't have to worry about bothering her. If she comes to you, just go."

"I see." Zhen Yinglian nodded and answered very well.

"Don't be afraid, everything will be fine in the future." Chen Heng really couldn't think of words to comfort others, so he could only comfort him before leaving.

Together with Xinda, they walked into the afternoon sun.

"Will you come back tomorrow?" the girl asked after chasing the retreating figure.

Chen Heng turned around and smiled, and nodded at her.

　After the two chapters are updated today, there will be a chapter about Xiangling.Let me tell you in advance.
