After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince
Chapter 17 The difference between cloud and mud
Helan Xuenuo and Qi Didi walked through the main hall and came to the inner hall.
As soon as she entered the inner hall, she saw General Helan and the old lady sitting at a sandalwood table with thick paper bags piled on it. The old general and the old lady were talking. When they heard footsteps, they immediately looked up at her and said with a smile, "Nuonuo, look what good things Daddy brought you."
Helan Xuenuo walked to the table, looked at the paper packages on the table, took out a bag, and started to open it. After opening it, there were five red cakes lying inside. She picked up a paper package, swallowed her saliva, and looked at the old general with a smile, "Daddy is so good to me. These are my favorite sour jujube cakes."
She picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, eating it happily with a happy expression on her face.
"Drink some tea, dear, don't choke." The old lady brought a cup of hot tea to Helan Xuenuo's mouth, and Helan Xuenuo took the tea with his mouth and drank it.
The old lady cheerfully took out a gray handkerchief and wiped the corner of Helan Xuenuo's mouth. "You, my child, love Liancheng's sour jujube cake the most. Your father and I rushed back after defeating the bandits. But halfway through, your father remembered your favorite sour jujube cake and went back to buy it for you. This trip took us half a day."
Helan Xuenuo started to cry while eating. She hadn't eaten sour jujube cake for many years, not since she married into the palace.
She remembered that in her previous life, her father never forgot to bring her sour jujube cakes every time he went back to Liancheng on business. But at that time, she did not know how to cherish the love her father and mother had for her. Because of a man, she destroyed her family and her life.
"Why are you crying, Nuonuo? What injustice have you suffered, child?" The old lady was so anxious that she wiped Helan Xuenuo's tears with her sleeves.
Helan Xuenuo sniffed and said, "The sour jujube cake is so delicious."
She forced a smile through her tears.
"Hahaha, you almost scared Daddy. You've been a greedy kid since you were little. This time Daddy bought so much that it's enough for you to eat for a long time. If you want to eat more in the future, I'll send someone to buy it for you."
"Thank you, Daddy. But from now on, Daddy and Mommy don't have to go back and buy sour jujube cakes for me. Nuonuo will be really happy if you can go home earlier."
Helan Xuenuo did not stop eating the sour jujube cake in her mouth. She began to feel sorry for them and was reluctant to see her parents go back and forth to buy the sour jujube cake for her.
The old general patted Helan Xuenuo's right shoulder and said with emotion, "Good boy, you have grown up! You know how to care for your father and mother. It's worth it that we love you so much! As long as you are happy, even if it takes a few days, your father will buy you your favorite cakes. Your father can still do this little thing for you.
I heard from people in the mansion that you are willing to learn martial arts?"
"I want to learn martial arts to keep fit." Helan Xuenuo nodded obediently. After saying this, she turned around and looked at Qi Didi, who was looking at them with indifference.
Her purpose of learning martial arts is not just to keep fit.
"Yuan Xu is a rare talent. You should learn from him. General Yuan Lao has also told me about your affairs. He has watched you grow up since you were young. Now you can be so close to each other, which is a good thing."
General Helan nodded as he spoke and sat back on the wooden chair. He gathered the paper bags on the table and said to the maid beside him, "Send these to the young lady's courtyard."
The maid was about to take all the food away when the old general brought back a few more bags, stood up and handed them to Qi Didi, "Di'er, you have your share too. There are some green bean cakes in here that you like."
Qi Didi took it and knelt down to salute politely, "Thank you, old general, thank you, old lady."
Madam Helan smiled and nodded, "Let's all go back. Your father and I have been fighting for several days, and our bodies are almost falling apart. We should go back and rest. If there is anything else, please send someone to report it."
Helan Xuenuo looked at Old Madam Helan and found that there were a few more strands of white hair on her temples. In the past, after every battle, the old madam would look for her to draw cards with great energy, and sometimes they would play all night long. But this time, she said she was tired.
She looked at her father again. He seemed to have aged a lot. The lines on his cheeks were deep and shallow, and each line seemed to be telling the story of every difficult battle he had fought.
These were things she had never discovered in her previous life.
Ever since Madam Helan married the old general, she had to be present at every battle. General Helan lost his patience, and the only time Madam Helan was not there was one time that he was plotted against and almost died by the sword.
Since then, Old Lady Helan would always be present at every battle and would always accompany the old general.
Helan Xuenuo often envied the love between her father and mother, who were together in life and death.
While I was thinking about it, the old lady and the old general were already supporting each other and walking towards the east courtyard, where they lived.
The South Courtyard where Helan Xuenuo lived had to pass through the flower pavilion and then walk through several small courtyards to reach it, and one of the small courtyards was Qi Didi's courtyard. Although Qi Didi was an adopted daughter, General Helan and the old lady raised her according to her status as a girl and never treated her badly.
It wasn't until she reached Qi Didi's courtyard that Helan Xuenuo came back to her senses. Qi Didi's voice pulled her out of her thousands of thoughts, "Sister...sister...I'm here, you should come back soon."
"okay."
After Qi Didi was admitted to the hospital, Chunhe came forward with her head down and took the paper bag from Qi Didi's hand.
All I heard was Qi Didi saying coldly, "Throw it away."
"Girl, I see this paper bag is very new. Are you sure you want to throw it away?"
At this time, Qi Didi's eyes regained their fierceness. She glanced at Chunhe and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Chun He shook her head like a rattle when she received her gaze. She knew she had said the wrong thing and regretted it bitterly, but there was no turning back. Qi Di Di opened the paper bag like crazy, took out the mung bean cake inside and stuffed it into Chun He's mouth, "Eat it, if you like it, just give it to me, you bitch."
"Xiao..." Chunhe was so stuffed that she couldn't say a word. Her tears mixed with the pastries and she was forced to swallow them.
After Qi Didi felt relieved, she threw away the pastry in her hand and kicked Chunhe to the ground.
Chunhe felt like she was about to die for a moment, and at that moment she coughed hard to spit out the blockage in her throat.
Helan Xuenuo saw this scene clearly.
The reason why she lay on the wall to peek today was that she remembered the scene of Xiao Zhu peeking outside Qi Didi's yard.
There happened to be a stepping stone outside the yard, and one could see it clearly by standing on tiptoe. There was a long trace behind the stone. Helan Xuenuo guessed that it must have been moved there by Xiaozhu.
Out of curiosity, she stepped forward. Unfortunately, she witnessed Qi Didi torturing someone. However, she didn't find it strange. In her previous life, Qi Didi had used all sorts of methods to make her live an inhuman life in the palace. Back then, Qi Didi had looked down at her and said, "Times are different now. From now on, there will be a world of difference between you and me. I was born to be high and mighty, admired by everyone. And you... you will be like this handful of dust, used to bury corpses and compost, to be trampled underfoot."
She especially remembered the way Qi Didi smiled at that time, as if she had a bloody mouth wide open, ready to tear her apart and eat her in the next second.
From then on, Qi Didi began to openly cause her all kinds of trouble.
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on her head. The fear of Qi Didi in her previous life still came to her involuntarily in this life. She just felt very annoyed. She scratched the courtyard wall hard with her hands and then slapped it down hard.
At this time, someone pulled her skirt and tugged at it. She woke up in shock and felt a little panic in her heart. She looked down and found that it was Xiaozhu who was pulling her. She covered her chest and let out a long breath.
"Girl, come down quickly." Xiao Zhu spoke in a very low voice, like the buzzing of a mosquito.
Helan Xuenuo jumped down lightly and gave Xiaozhu a look, "You almost scared me to death."
"Luckily I saw you first. A lot of people came to our courtyard to help clean up today. They're heading here after they finish their work. If they saw you like this, everyone in the mansion would definitely laugh at you."
Xiao Zhu put his hands on his hips and looked at Helan Xuenuo with an arrogant look, as if he was her savior.
