Everyone in the world said that General Feihong and General Feng Yun were incompatible with each other. But in fact, He Yan always felt that it was not that exaggerated.
At most, they were all young men who joined the army, with outstanding military achievements, and they were all given royal gifts at a young age. Everyone liked to compare them together. Others are just hearsay, add oil and vinegar, and become unfamiliar books, teaching people to laugh and laugh.
At least in the heart of the fourteen-year-old He Yan, she was determined not to have any hostility towards the young master of the Xiao family.
At that time, she had been pretending to be a man for many years, and she was very handy as a "He Rufei". There is only one slight difficulty, that is, at this age, the boy should have gone to the academy to follow his master's policy.
Men are different from women. Women can invite their husbands to teach in the house, but men do not. The He family has always asked the husband to teach in the mansion, but as the years get older, it is not good to hear it. In the end, the He family still needs face.
So he procrastinated and procrastinated, and finally when He Yan was fourteen years old, she was sent to the Xianchang Pavilion.
Xianchang Hall is the most famous academy in the capital. The founder of the academy used to be the Taifu when His Majesty was the prince. Learning six arts in the school, each of the gentlemen is a leader in the court, and the one who came here to practice policy is the honorable member of the honorable class.
Although the He family has a title, it is still slightly inferior to those in the Xianchang Pavilion. Who knew that He Yuanliang did not know what good luck he had taken. When he was drinking in a restaurant one day, he encountered a dispute and said a few words, but the person who was helped was a teacher in Xianchang Pavilion. Spring has recruited new students to study, and I still remember that there seems to be a direct son in the He family's big house.
He Yuanliang hesitated for a long time and discussed the matter with He Yuansheng. He Yuansheng has always pursued fame and fortune, and thinks this is feasible. Sending He Yan to the Xianchang Hall might bring him to know many other noble children. It would only be good for the He family to befriend them, not harm. If the real He Rufei comes back one day, the title of "Xianchangguan Student" will be the icing on the cake for He Rufei.
He Yan was very happy when he learned of this.
She dressed as a man, but in the He family, she acted according to the rules of a woman. No Cuju, no publicity, and even martial arts practice must be learned secretly behind the back of family members. But if you were a woman, that would be incompetent. The daughters of the He family learned to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she, "He Rufei", couldn't follow along.
It was as if nothing could be done.
But going to the Xianchang Pavilion is different. I heard that there are many talented people there, and they are all talented people. There are also many young people of the same age. If you go there, you will not only learn a skill, but also make friends.
This is a benefit that women can't enjoy, and she is suddenly a little fortunate that she has replaced He Rufei's identity.
He Yuansheng's wife, her nominal mother, and the actual aunt handed the mask carefully crafted by the craftsman to her, and said worriedly, "Be careful when you go here, and don't let anyone discover your identity. ."
He Yan nodded.
She actually didn't like wearing this mask. Although the mask was light and thin, it was airtight and only exposed her chin and eyes. For so many years, her mask has not left her body, even when she is sleeping. The craftsman is extremely skilled. One side is buckled into the bun, and the mechanism is installed. Even if it is a fight, it will not fall off. Only she can open it.
Mrs. He also gave a serious warning: "Remember, if you miss the trap, the entire He family will be wiped out!"
You know, this sentence has been said thousands of times, and the crime of deceiving the king has implicated the nine clans.
"I remember." He Yan replied respectfully.
Madam He Da was very uneasy and put her on the carriage.
In the eyes of outsiders, this scene is a deep love between mother and son. In He Yan's heart, he was greatly relieved, and his chest was overflowing with the joy of being free. She finally broke free from the days when her every move was under the control of others, and freedom was at hand.
The carriage stopped at the door of Xianchang Hall, and the servant sent her off the carriage, so she could only wait for her to leave school at the door.
She came too early, and her husband hadn't arrived at the academy yet, and it seemed that she could vaguely hear the voices of the students reading and laughing. He Yan stepped into the door, full of longing.
The spring sun comes out early in the morning. Entering the academy, first there is a vast courtyard, then a garden, and the innermost is the academy. There are stables in the courtyard, like a smaller school ground. The garden is very elegantly repaired, with ponds and willows.
There is also a swing.
The wind swayed the swing slightly, and He Yan stretched out his hand and wanted to sit on it, but he didn't dare. The man swings on the swing, and he is afraid that he will make a joke if he speaks out. He had to touch it reluctantly before continuing to move forward.
All the willows have sprouted, and clusters of emeralds poured into the lake, becoming more and more beautiful, and the sun was making people sleepy. She rubbed her eyes and saw a loquat tree in front of her.
The He family has no shortage of money to eat loquats. Over the years, He Yan has also eaten loquats. But it was the first time I saw a loquat tree full of fruit. The yellow fruit seems to contain honey, full of fragrance, and very attractive under the sunlight.
It's just a fourteen-year-old girl, and she's not too playful. Seeing this scene, she remembered the pictures of the maids in the yard picking up plums with bamboo poles in summer. It's just that the eldest young master of the He family can't beat the plums himself, but now in the academy, picking a loquat should be fine, right? It is not a shame for a boy to pick a loquat.
Thinking of this, He Yan rolled up his sleeves and prepared for a big fight.
But she traveled in a hurry, and there was nothing else on her body except the bundles and books, pencils, and pencils handed to her husband, and there were no long poles around. Fortunately, the loquat tree is not too high. If you jump, you should be able to get it.
He Yan stared at the nearest fruit in front of him. The fruit was pressed against the tip of the branch, heavy and golden, as if tempting to pick.
She jumped vigorously and threw herself in the air.
Almost.
He Yan was not discouraged, made persistent efforts and jumped again.
Still empty.
She is a character that does not admit defeat, so come again.
Still empty.
After repeated defeats and repeated defeats, she did not know how many times she had failed. Just when He Yan was panting from exhaustion, suddenly, she heard a sneer coming from her head.
He Yan looked up ignorantly.
The loquat branches were lush and leafy, and she only stared at this fruit, but she didn't realize that there was still a person sitting on the tree.
I don't know how long this person has been sitting here, probably all her actions have been seen. She looked up, and the sun was shining down, illuminating the man's face inch by inch.
This is a beautiful young man in a white robe and brocade boots, with a lazy expression, showing arrogance, his hands resting behind his head, and a bright and elegant style leaning on the jade tree in the breeze. He looked down impatiently, and the look in his eyes was heartwarming.
He Yan was stunned.
She had never seen such a good-looking boy before, as if she had covered the whole spring on her body. For a while, she felt ashamed, but fortunately, the mask covered her blushing face, but in the end, she was young and couldn't hide the amazing color in her eyes.
After the handsome young man glanced at her, he grabbed a fruit.
Is this... for her
He Yan felt shy.
The boy suddenly turned over and landed lightly, the white robe dazzled He Yan's eyes. She watched the boy approach with the fruit, hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.
I mean thank you? Or are you really good looking
She was so nervous that she wanted to reach out and twist the hem of her clothes.
The young man had already walked in front of her, and suddenly curled his lips into a smile.
This smile is like a thousand trees blooming, as bright as a spring dawn. He Yan said excitedly: "Thank you..."
Before the second "thank" was finished, the other party passed her by.
He Yan: "?"
She looked back and saw that the young man in white robe was walking forward with the big yellow loquat thrown up and down, with a leisurely attitude, as if mocking her self-willedness.
He Yan stood in place and calmed down for a while before walking towards the academy in the direction of the young man.
However, she just walked outside the academy when she heard someone talking inside, it was lively and lively, and a cheerful voice asked: "I heard that the new eldest young master from the He family is also coming to our academy to study, brother Huaijin. Did you see him?"
She took a step forward and secretly looked in through the crack of the window, when she heard a lazy voice, "The eldest young master of the He family didn't see it, only a stupid and short person."
And... stupid and short
He Yan has never been said this way in his life. Don't be stupid, short... short
Where is she short? She is already very good among girls of the same age!
He Yan wanted to see who did not have long eyes to come to such a conclusion. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the bright young man surrounded by all the young people, his eyes staring at the crack of the window as if nothing was missing.
He seemed to know that she was peeping.
There were bursts of laughter from the academy.
The vegetation in the world is boundless, the spring is luxuriant, and the forest flowers are like brocade.
This was her first meeting with Xiao Jue.
