Volume Two, Chapter Fifty-One, Listening to the Rain in the East
the next day.
After breakfast, the brother and sister each mounted their own horses, took the gifts prepared by Jiang Xue and rushed to the Yue Duke's Mansion.
"I said Jun'er, I'm your brother, can't you really tell me?" Feng Zimo was still trying to get some words out of Feng Jun'er's mouth.
"Brother, don't bother. Since I promised Brother Luo Ling, I will definitely keep my mouth shut. Not to mention you, even dad, don't try to pry my mouth open."
"All right."
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Chu is not far from the Duke's Mansion of the State of Yue, only two streets apart, and it can be reached in a short time.
The brother and sister got off their horses. Feng Zimo walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door was opened, and a kind-faced old housekeeper came out.
"Please go in and let me know. The Duke of Chu, Feng Zimo, and his sister-in-law, Feng Yun'er, are here to visit."
"It's Mr. Feng and Miss Feng, please come in quickly. Mr. Feng, my lady has been waiting for you for a long time."
The old housekeeper welcomed the brother and sister in and took the gift from Feng Zimo's hand.
"Where is your young master?" Feng Zimo asked.
"You'll know in a minute." A smile appeared on the old housekeeper's face.
For some reason, Feng Zimo always felt that the old butler's smile was strange. He thought to himself: You won't really let me guess right, right?
The old housekeeper brought the brother and sister to the living room, where a girl in white was sitting. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slender figure, skin as white as snow, and her appearance looked like it had been carefully carved.
There is no flaw at all, she is a true beauty who is shy of the moon. Among the women Feng Zimo has ever seen, only Huo Qiushi can compare with her.
"Miss, Mr. Feng and Miss Feng are here."
Seeing Feng Zimo coming, the girl stood up with a smile on her face: "Zimo, you're here."
When Feng Zimo saw her, his original doubts were instantly solved. He took a deep breath and said, "Hello, Miss Dongfang."
"Dongfang...Hello, sister." Feng Yun'er also said hello to Dongfang Tingyu.
Dongfang Tingyu smiled and said: "Stop being so outspoken, please take a seat."
The brother and sister sat down, and the old housekeeper poured them each a cup of tea and then left.
Feng Zimo took a sip and said, "Good tea!"
"This is the best Longjing. I went through a lot of trouble to get it from my father. If you like it, drink as much as you like."
Feng Zimo put down his teacup, looked at Dongfang Tingyu with sharp eyes, and said, "Can you tell me whether you are Dongfang Tingyu or Dongfang Heng?"
The smile on Dongfang Tingyu's face disappeared and he said: "I am Dongfang Tingyu, and I am also Dongfang Heng. To be precise, Dongfang Heng is my brother, and I have been Dongfang Heng for ten years."
"Zimo, have you already suspected that I am a girl?" Dongfang Tingyu looked at Feng Zimo and asked.
Feng Zimo nodded and said: "I was already suspicious when I was imprisoned in Hucheng because you don't have any stubble and your shoulders are not as broad as other men."
"You are really smart."
"Dongfang...sister, why do you want to disguise yourself as a man and pretend to be your brother? Where has the real Dongfang Heng gone?" Feng Yun'er asked. Frankly speaking, although she knew about Dongfang from Luo Ling yesterday,
Heng is a girl, but she is still a little embarrassed when facing Dongfang Tingyu. She had a good impression of Dongfang Heng before.
Feng Zimo also looked at Dongfang Tingyu, and it could be seen that he was also very curious about this question.
Dongfang Tingyu sighed softly and said: "Dongfang Heng is my twin brother, and our mother loves both of us very much. If this keeps going on, I won't have to pretend to be my brother as a man. It's a pity that things don't work out as we wish.
Ten years ago, when we were eight years old, one day my brother was naughty and secretly climbed up to the roof to play. My mother discovered him and asked him to come down. When he came down, my brother accidentally stepped on the air and hit the ground hard.
He fell to the ground and died on the spot. My mother passed out on the spot after witnessing all this, but when she woke up she became crazy and kept chanting my brother's name."
Feng Yun'er: "What happened next?"
"In the next few days, my mother's madness became more and more serious. My father invited the best doctors in Jinling, and even begged your Majesty to send an imperial doctor, but they were all helpless. My mother has completely become a
Madman, he forgot about me and my father, and only remembered my brother. Then, my mother's condition even reached the point where she would chase people with a kitchen knife and chop them. At this time, I came up with a way, I put on my brother's clothes.
, tied up her hair, pretended to be my brother and came to my mother. My mother, who was originally furious, calmed down immediately after seeing me pretending to be my brother. From then on, my mother never saw me disguised as a man.
I would go crazy and stab people randomly with a kitchen knife. From then on, I was Dongfang Heng during the day. Only after my mother fell asleep at night could I briefly change back to Dongfang Tingyu. Gradually, people outside also forgot
There was a young lady named Dongfang Tingyu in the Duke's Mansion of Yue Kingdom, but I only remembered the crown prince Dongfang Heng."
Feng Zimo said: "How is Auntie doing now? Is she feeling better?"
"My mother passed away half a year ago."
"I'm sorry! I didn't know."
"It's okay. Those who don't know are not guilty."
Feng Yun'er asked: "Sister Dongfang, since my aunt has passed away, why do you continue to pretend to be your brother?"
"In the past ten years, I have been accompanying my mother as my brother, so the three years of observing filial piety should be the same. Zimo, speaking of which, I also want to thank you. Today, for you, for the first time in the daytime, I transformed into a filial piety.
Daughter body."
After listening to Dongfang Tingyu's story, the brother and sister couldn't help but admire the stunning girl in front of them.
"Brother, you talk to Sister Dongfang slowly, I'm going out first." Feng Yun'er understood that it was time for the two of them to be alone together, so she took the initiative to get up and left the living room.
"Why do you like me?" Feng Zimo asked.
Dongfang Tingyu smiled and said: "When I first met you, I didn't feel anything for you at all, but after getting along with you, I found that I had a feeling for you that I couldn't even explain what it was until now.
The second time I went to Wu, this feeling became even stronger, and I completely understood that this feeling was love. I am a straightforward person. If I have any thoughts, I will express them directly without hiding them. So as soon as I got home, I
I pestered my father to go to your house to make a marriage contract, because I was afraid that you would be snatched away if you were too late. Frankly speaking, I didn’t think I would succeed. I could see that you were interested in that girl named Huo, and why?
