The beauty raised by Lord Hou is a black lotus

Chapter 5 Stealing the Pearl at Night
No one in the car answered.

The boy stopped the carriage, leaned in with an oil lamp half his body, "Master?!"

The lights were dim, and Wei Jiuqing was clearly the only one in the carriage, as if the sound of breathing and laughter just now were hallucinations he had produced in the rainy night.

However, the glazed cup containing the luminous pearl is empty, which clearly proves that someone has indeed appeared.

In the long alleys, the sound of rain is boundless.

The wall of the car is decorated with colorful paintings of the Buddha preaching scriptures in the Lonely Garden from the tree in Sravasti. The kind-hearted Buddha looks inexplicably creepy in the dark rainy night.

The boy shuddered, "It's so good that the night pearl has disappeared... Could it be that it was ghosts who did it? Miss Zhang and Miss Wang——"

"Shut up!" Wei Jiuqing scolded sternly, "There are no ghosts or gods in the world. He is just a little thief with excellent light skills! That night-light pearl is a relic left by my mother. I will never forgive the little thief for stealing my beloved thing." Kill him! Report it to the official immediately, I want that thief to die miserably!"

Wei Jiuqing's carriage disappeared into the vast rain.

At this time, the backyard of the He Mansion.

He Yao followed He Wei through the corridor, and the atmosphere between father and daughter was quite awkward.

I don't know how long it took before He Wei coughed, and said with a straight face: "The guy surnamed Wei looks like a gentleman, but when he encounters troubles, he will only push you on the head. It can be seen that he has no responsibility and is not a good person. From now on, Mo To associate with him again."

"What Aye said was that I only saw his true face clearly tonight." He Yao agreed.

The youngest daughter is so rare and well-behaved that He Wei almost wonders if there is any fraud in it.

After walking for a while, He Wei remembered something, and said again: "The child from the Yuan family in Liangzhou, has he moved in?"

He Yao smiled and said: "I have moved in. My daughter personally picked her up from the outskirts of the city."

He Wei was surprised, "You have changed your temper..."

It happened that the courtyard where Yuan Wang lived was not far away, so the father and daughter passed by together.

Candles were lit in the room, but no one was there.

The waiter scratched his head, "Little Hou Ye was still reading in the study just now, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye?"

He Yao raised her eyebrows. He had just arrived at the house. With his temperament, he should not run around...

"Is this Uncle He?" A voice suddenly came from outside the room.

He Yao and He Wei turned around and looked around.

Standing under the eaves was a young man wearing a bamboo hat, wearing a clean dark blue coarse cloth shirt, holding a pot of snow-white rhododendrons in his arms, and showing two small canine teeth when he smiled, very handsome.

Howe looked at him for a moment, and then laughed with satisfaction, "I hugged you when you were young, but now you've grown up, you've changed! You're more handsome than you, Aye, good, good!"

Yuan Wang put the potted rhododendron in the corner, took off the bamboo hat, and bowed to He Wei, "When my father was alive, he often mentioned my uncle's heroic figure on the battlefield, and this junior admired him very much."

After the simple exchange of pleasantries, He Yao asked, "What did Young Master just do?"

Yuan Xuan smiled and pointed to the pot of rhododendrons, "I was reading at night in the room, and heard the rain falling outside the window, and then saw the pot of rhododendrons in the distance being dropped by the gardener, drenched in the rain alone, feeling pity for a moment, So I went to the garden in the rain, and brought it back to the eaves to shelter from the rain."

The He family father and daughter were speechless for a moment.

After a long while, He Wei said with emotion: "In troubled times, everyone hides selfishness. How can you be so pity for a pot of rhododendrons, let alone treat others? There are many intelligent people, but kind-hearted people are very rare. You It’s good to have a benevolent heart.”

After boasting Yuan Wang, He Wei told He Yao again, "Tomorrow you take him to the street to buy some fabrics to tailor clothes, and carefully prepare everything that is missing, such as pens, inks, papers and inkstones, don't be stingy with money."

Although the He family was a well-known family, He Wei was an upright official, and most of the extra spare money he had was used to subsidize the families of the soldiers who died in the war. The life in the mansion was considered to be quite poor among the officials' families.

Knowing that she could go shopping on the street, He Yao couldn't help being happy, and took the opportunity to rip off, "Aye, the Bu Yao I saw last month... I've liked it for a long time!"

It's rare for her to be sensible today, and she didn't insist on going all night with that bastard Wei Jiuqing, which is really rare for He Wei, so he waved his hand, "Buy!"

Yuan Wang's eyes swept over He Yao without any trace.

The young lady of the He family comes from a noble family, but compared to other young ladies in Luojing, her clothes are quite simple. There is very little embroidery on her undershirt, and her hair accessories are just two simple silk beaded flowers.

But he failed that stunning beauty, and also failed his youthful youth...

He Yao happily returned to her boudoir, and Chun Nong couldn't wait to ask, "Girl, can the general make things difficult for Mr. Wei's family?!"

"You care about him," He Yao said meaningfully, "Why don't you ask me if I was reprimanded by Aye? I don't know, I thought you loved Brother Jiuqing!"

Chun Nong's cheeks flushed, and she quickly denied it, "It's nothing! This servant is thinking, the girl is the general's own daughter, so it's possible that the general will punish you? That's why I didn't ask..."

He Yao sat in front of the dressing mirror, and took off the silk flower and hair tie in front of the bronze mirror, "Tomorrow, I will go to the street with my young master to buy clothes, so I have to go to bed early tonight."

"Purchase an outfit for him?" Chun Nong picked up the wooden comb and combed He Yao's hair. "He is a country man like him. He must have no appearance or bearing. Even if he wears gold and silver, he can't compare to the husband of the Wei family. Why bother to do it for him?" Wasted money?"

"Aye wants to buy clothes for him, so is it possible that I still want to obstruct him?"

Chun Nong bit his lips, and suddenly lowered his voice, "After half a month, the girls of the Zhen Guo government will hold a peach blossom banquet, and they will invite many young gentlemen and young ladies. When the time comes, we will also bring that country man with us. He has never seen such a world before, he will definitely become everyone's laughing stock! Let's make him unable to step down and let him know that he is not worthy of a girl!"

He Yao stared at the bronze mirror, her eyes rolling.

How stupid must she be to make her fiancé a laughing stock in front of everyone?
The fiancé has become a laughing stock, so where will she put her face?
But as the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, so she can't keep the young master hidden.

Those young ladies joked that her fiancé was a country man. They heard a while ago that the young marquis was coming to join her family, and they were still asking for information in a roundabout way, and couldn't wait to see his joke.

But the young Marquis is handsome and well-read poetry, so it would be very honorable to take him out.

Take him to the Peach Blossom Wine Banquet, and ask him to compose a few brilliant poems on the spot, and then play an exquisite flute piece, and he will definitely slap those people in the face and tell them to shut up.

The more He Yao thought about it, the happier she became, "This is a good idea, let's do it!"
