He Yan took the money and returned home.
Qing Mei didn't notice that He Yan was fumbling for the small box of rouge and face powder on the table. He poured everything inside and threw the silver and jewelry he won tonight into the box. Then, he groped around in the dark and went to bed.
She was probably in a good mood after winning the money. She also solved her worries. That night, she slept very soundly. In her dream, she was gambling with her brothers in the tent. The men in the army shouted at the top of their lungs, "Open! Open! "He Yan looked embarrassed. Someone laughed," General, why did you lose again? "
"Did the general win once tonight?" The deputy general pretended to shake his head, "Aiya, the general is not good in this aspect."
"Get lost, what do you mean by not good or not good? Haven't you heard of the saying that if you are frustrated in love, you will be successful in gambling? The general is frustrated in gambling, but he is invincible in love. What does an old bachelor like you know? "
He Yan heard this and laughed.
She laughed and laughed. Then, she felt someone pushing her. She opened her eyes and saw Qing Mei's face, "Miss, what good dream did you have? Why are you laughing so happily? "
The sunlight had already reached the window sill, and the room was bright. She stretched out the back of her hand to block the dazzling light. She was a little surprised that she woke up late.
Sure enough, it was a good night's sleep in spring.
She thought of the dream last night and couldn't help but sigh. The men in the past said that her gambling skills were bad, so she was successful in love. They were completely wrong. However, in a way, they were right. Now that she was able to kill everyone in Le Tong Manor, she was successful in gambling, but she was naturally unsuccessful in love. That was why she was defeated so badly.
He Yunsheng's unhappy voice came from outside the door, "He Yan, it's already late in the morning. Are you still going today?"
From the beginning, she strongly opposed to He Yan's request. Now, she was used to chopping firewood with him. He Yunsheng didn't understand how he and He Yan ended up in this situation.
"Wait for me." He Yan quickly changed into a clean set of clothes.
Qing Mei went out with the basin. He Yunsheng walked in and said, "Why are you so slow today … He Yan?"
"What's the matter?" He Yan was tying a sandbag. When he looked up, he saw He Yunsheng's angry expression. Puzzled, she asked, "What's wrong?"
He Yunsheng pointed at the chair. "What's wrong? Why don't you take a look?! "
The young man's tone was filled with anger. If there was a fire on his head, it would have ignited the entire house. He Yan looked in the direction of his finger. On the chair was the maroon gown that He Yan had "borrowed" from He Yunsheng last night. After she returned to her room, she casually took off her clothes and threw them on the chair. She hadn't remembered this since she woke up in the morning.
Before He Yan could react, He Yunsheng stepped forward and shook off the gown. The long robe had been crumpled into a ball by He Yan and was stained with dirt. Now that it was shaken like this, it revealed a tear in the middle of the robe. It was as if someone had cut it in the middle of the robe. It was very miserable.
"This is the gown that you mended for me?" He Yunsheng was burning with anger. Last night, he was touched and thought that this sister really cared for her younger brother. Now … she was really sent by the heavens to punish him!
"This is a misunderstanding. I can explain." He Yan tried to calm the child down.
"Explain? How can you explain? Do you know … "He Yun Sheng was originally very angry and reproachful, but when he reached this point, his voice suddenly choked up and his eyes turned red. He said," This is my only robe … If you cut it to pieces, what will I do? "
He Yan had a big headache.
She was really, really, really afraid of seeing people cry. Especially this aggressive young man who was like a little calf. Suddenly, he felt wronged and shed tears.
He Yunsheng also felt wronged.
Young people all cared about their reputation. As long as he was filial and indomitable, he was a good man … Although that was the case, everyone had vanity. This maroon gown had been given to him by one of his older brothers, and he had been wearing it for many years, simply because his own clothes were all short shirts and trousers, which were convenient for working, so this gown, no matter what, always looked like a 'young master'.
He Yan's clothes couldn't be compared to the clothes of the young ladies of big families, but every year, she would buy one or two pieces of fashionable clothes. He Sui spoiled her, so He Yunsheng couldn't say anything. Girls loved to be beautiful. How could a man care about these worldly things?
But at this moment, He Yunsheng suddenly felt wronged.
He Yan stammered, "This, this gown is ruined. We'll buy another one. We'll find the most famous tailor in the capital to make a brand new one for you. The kind with embroidered patterns? The material must also be good. Don't, don't cry. I didn't do it on purpose … okay? Yunsheng? "
He Yan had never coaxed him with such kind words. He didn't know why, but He Yunsheng's anger suddenly dissipated. But he still had some resentment, "We don't have money!"
"Who said so?" He Yan opened the makeup box and showed it to him, "We have money."
He Yunsheng originally just took a casual glance, but when he looked closely, he was stunned and said, "Where did you get the money?"
"Huh?"
The next moment, He Yunsheng suddenly rushed forward and said in surprise, "Your face …"
Face? He Yan was shocked. He thought to himself, could it be that the face could change? It can't be. Before she went home last night, she washed her face in the water tank at the door. She should have washed off all the makeup.
Just as she rushed in front of the mirror, she heard He Yunsheng's angry voice ring out beside her. "Who hit you?"
In the mirror, the girl's features were elegant and pretty, her pair of watery eyes were full of autumn waves, there was no change, but … He Yan's gaze moved downwards, the girl's lips had an additional shallow bruise, it was especially conspicuous on her white and tender skin.
Just now, when Qing Mei woke her up, she used her hand to block the sun. Qing Mei didn't see it. But now, He Yunsheng saw it.
Lady He's delicate skin couldn't withstand any damage. She seemed to have been punched by someone last night, but it didn't hurt or itch. So, she didn't take it to heart. She didn't expect that her face would be marked today.
He Yunsheng was still asking, "What happened to you? These silvers … these clothes … "He was suddenly frightened and his eyes were sad," You … "
Seeing that the boy was getting more and more unreasonable, He Yan gently knocked his head, "What are you thinking? Last night, I wore your clothes and went to the casino. I gambled for two rounds and won some silvers. Some people came looking for trouble, so I taught them a lesson. I was careless and got hurt. It's okay, it will disappear tomorrow. "
She said it casually, but she didn't know how much her words shocked the boy in front of her.
"You … I …"
He Yan went to the casino? He Yan went to the casino and won money? After He Yan won the money, someone came looking for trouble and even taught the other party a lesson?
No matter which one it was, He Yunsheng couldn't accept it. He even suspected that his sister had been switched. How could these things be so unimaginable?
"Yes," He Yan calmly explained, "Because we were too poor, I wanted to go to the casino to try my luck. Who knew that my luck was so good. It was probably God's blessing. I was very afraid of those people who came looking for trouble, but recently, I went to the mountains to chop firewood with you. My strength increased a lot, so I was lucky to beat them. " Seeing that He Yunsheng was still stunned, He Yan continued, "If you don't believe me, you can go to Le Tong Village and ask around. Last night, a boy wearing a maroon robe won a lot of money. I'm not lying to you."
He Yunsheng's mind was a mess. Seeing that He Yan was full of confidence, it seemed that what she said was true.
"But … but …"
"Oh, that's right," He Yan smiled, "Since we have money now, from today onwards, we won't sell Da Nai cakes anymore."
"Then what will we do?" He Yunsheng murmured.
"Naturally, we'll go to the school. Do you want to go to school, Yunsheng?" She asked.
