Chapter Eighty-Three: A Talented Woman (Thank You for the Rare Book List)
In the field on the outskirts, Si Jian stood aside, dodging and leading the war horse, wanting to look away, pretending not to see, and wanting to sneak a look at it again and again.
What's going on now?
Although Cheng Youtu's appearance is not worse than that of a colt, Cheng Youtu's hugging of her daughter is too tight.
Originally, neither of them had any thoughts, but when they noticed Si Jian's shocked, strange and gossipy eyes, the man on his body gradually withdrew his voice.
It is rare to see a woman in his arms wearing a light blue woman's corset skirt, not the court dress or military dress he is used to wearing, because his pair of eyebrows at this time does not even have the usual coldness and business, and even has the gentleness that a woman should have.
The weather was already hot.
Both of them are very light and close-fitting.
In such weather, the temperature on the woman's body is transmitted through the thin satin, and it is warm and warm.
Feeling the intimacy of each other, as well as the softness in his arms, and the hands that have been gently soothing him on his back, Cheng Jia suddenly frowned in annoyance, and his mood could not maintain his usual peace.
He looked down at Mi Huang's beautiful face, a more bitter sullen breath lingered in his chest, wanting to suppress it, but he was full of desire, he didn't dare to break the beauty of this moment, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to do the "alliance", and he was even more afraid that he would pull her down the abyss, smiled faintly, returned to his usual normal, let go of his hand to hide under his big sleeves, felt the warmth left by his fingertips and said, "Thank you, I'm much better." It's getting dark, shall we go back to the city?"
A calm voice sounded in his ears, and when Mi Huang heard this, he gently withdrew his hand, "Okay, let's go back early!" The Cheng clan is still waiting for you to preside over the overall situation, and you are indispensable in the court!"
"Hmm. ”
Nod.
Almost instinctively, Si Jian jumped to his feet when he heard this, and responded in a loud voice, "Then the lady, I'll lead the horse first, Mao Ba, you go to catch the car!" At the same time, he ordered Mao Ba, who didn't know the situation, to hurry up, don't stay here to get in the way, and then take Cheng Jia and her horse and turn their heads and run away.
Mao Ba was a little out of shape by the strange eyes of the commander of the division, but his eyebrows furrowed when he looked at the two hugging and comforting on the field, but he definitely didn't want to be crooked, he just took the hug of the princess as a comforting hug, just like comforting himself who all his father's brothers died in battle, and then climbed onto the car without saying a word.
Si Jian and Mao Ba's avoidance of suspicion made Cheng Jia even more embarrassed.
Mi Huang turned around and walked towards the carriage, Cheng Jia's eyes have been silently following the back of her skirt flying, although her eyes are silent, her heart fluctuates.
Looking down at the green grass, a line of bent grass was left behind, which became a long-lasting mark in his heart.
As if silently indicating that she had been here.
He silently followed where she had walked and followed.
"Why don't you ride together?"
Seeing that he looked tired, she stood on the side of the carriage and helped the carriage and asked.
"Good. ”
Cheng Jia glanced at her and nodded slightly.
Maybe he would never tell her that there was once someone who also liked her deeply, whether she was a helpless princess in the deep palace, or a princess who is respected by the world today, or a queen who looks up to the world in the future.
In the carriage back to the city, the carriage bead curtain with the bumps of the body, sometimes touching together, making a small sound, the hustle and bustle of people coming and going on the street intertwined into a peaceful background, Mi Huang sat in front of the coffee table, quietly supporting his pointed chin to listen to the occasional memories of Cheng Jia opposite, his eyes touched his eyes and could see the sparkling waves, as if evoking the deepest thoughts in his heart.
"When I was a child, I liked my mother the most, she was a very gentle woman, and my eldest sister was like a mother, always protecting me wherever I went, so I vowed to protect my eldest sister and mother for the rest of my life. ”
Mi Huang didn't do anything, just listened.
Nodding her head from time to time, the imaginary mother should be a beautiful woman who is as soft on the outside and strong as Cheng Xian'er, so she is so decisive.
"So from that time on, I hated my father, who was authoritarian, authoritarian, the standard feudal patriarch. ”
Mi Huang didn't know what the "feudal patriarch" was, but she could roughly understand that it was definitely not a good word, just like she scolded the king of Chu, but Cheng Jia always seemed to have some words in her mouth that she hadn't heard.
But she didn't bother him.
Just quietly continue to listen.
She knew that maybe he didn't want to tell her, he just wanted to have an ear to hear him.
"So when I was a child, I always wanted to grow up faster, faster, so that I could take my mother and sister far away, away from my father's autocracy and dictatorship, but when I grew up, I still remember the days when I was a child, when they were still by my side, and in their eyes, I was the best son and brother in the world, no one can compare......
"But they're all gone now, even the person who wanted to escape the most is gone...... At the end, Cheng Jia's voice changed tone slightly, covering his face with his sleeve, not wanting her to see her embarrassment again.
Mi Huang calmly took out a bottle of wine from the dark compartment of the coffee table, a set of jade wine glasses, and then poured two glasses of wine, one for him and one for himself, and the mellow aroma of wine overflowed in the carriage.
"I don't know how much you drink, but it's good to have a drink at this time!"
Mi Huang smiled and handed him the wine.
Cheng Jia took it, and didn't say thank you, only smiled at her faintly and looked away again.
The small cup was held in the palm of her hand, and the jade-colored cup body became more and more lined with delicate and warm fingertips, ten fingers were slender, and there was a layer of hard cocoons at the tiger's mouth.
He knew that this was due to her perennial deep palace labor.
Cheng Jia's eyes fell on her fingertips, and when she saw her holding the jade cup in both hands, she took a sip of wine, and suddenly said crisply, "Do you know, sometimes, I miss my mother too, when I am hungry, I miss her chasing me to feed, when I am sick, I miss her coaxing me to take medicine, and when I have nightmares, I miss her sleeping with me......"
She sighed lightly and said with a smile, "But sometimes I think that we will always grow up, they will always grow old, and one day they will always leave us, but sooner or later......
Therefore, we must always learn to face everything alone, to fight this world alone. ”
Sometimes she would rather that stupid woman be alive, even if there is no love from her father, no fine clothes and food, they are at least still alive, but she is really a delicate and fragile woman, raised in a greenhouse by Sun Hou since childhood, and withered away before experiencing the real wind and rain.
But unlike his mother, her mother is not fighting with her life for the sake of her children, but for her love, fighting with her life.
After Mi Huang finished speaking, Wu shook his head and smiled, raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.
Cheng Jia also drank it all, and Mi Huang took his cup and poured it full and handed it back.
The two of them talked about some old things all the way, drank a little wine all the way, and the heavy mood also dispersed a little, and when they returned to the capital city, it was already evening, and the two of them rarely sat quietly on one side, holding their chins and looking out the window at the peaceful capital after the departure of the army, the smoke rose, allowing the sunset to take away the last rays of afterglow on the cornices, bringing the prosperity and liveliness of the night, reflecting the long-lost look and smile of the men and women in front of the window.
Seeing that Chengfu was about to arrive, Mi Huang boiled another pot of hot tea soup, poured two cups, put them in front of each of them, and said with a smile, "There is no decoction to sober up, drink some hot tea, go back with the smell of wine, Cheng Lao will be unhappy when he sees it." ”
Although Cheng Jia's amount of wine is good, he has not slept for almost three days, and at this time, he also has a little bloated after drinking, and when he heard the words, he still did not say thank you, and poured most of the half pot of hot tea cup by cup with a smile, and all of them were down.
After they finished drinking, the sword outside the carriage poked his head out of the window, and said to the two of them with a bright look in his eyes, "Lady, Chengfu has arrived, are we going to go in to worship Cheng Lao or go back to the palace?"
The corners of Qi Huang's eyes were lightly raised, and his eyes quickly caught Si Jian's fleeting gossip eyes.
"Hmm", then gently wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to Cheng Jia slowly, "Let's go, Cheng Lao has done his best for Da Chu all his life, and I should go to see Cheng Lao for the last time on behalf of my father, and do my best." Then lift the skirt and get out of the car first.
Cheng Jia nodded when he heard this.
The corners of his lips are slightly curved, and he silently follows.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they bumped into Ruo Ao, Yuejiao and Zhou Jinghua, who came to worship.
The north and south streets of Yingdu are so long and wide, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of Chu Guoshu basically live on these two street owners.
So when the two sides meet, there is really a taste of resentment about the narrow road.
However, they just nodded, and Cheng Jia and Mi Huang took the lead in entering the mansion without adding more politeness.
"It's really rare, I didn't expect that Cheng You's father had just died, and he would still have such an interest in coming back from outside with the United States. ”
Zhou Jinghua sat in the carriage, watching Cheng Jia turn around indifferently, her jade fingers clasped the window tightly, but a chuckle rose on her lips, watching the two of them walk into the Cheng Mansion intimately one after the other, and smiled at Yue Jiao with a slight raised eyebrows, "Husband, you said that our second cousin will not be cuckolded, right?
Zhou Jinghua looked ready to watch Ruo Ao Ziyan's good show, which greatly pleased Ruo Ao Yuejiao.
Hearing this, Yue Jiao's eyes fell thoughtfully on the backs of the two of them, one tall and one short, and hugged the woman in the carriage and lowered her head and smiled, "Madame really has a unique vision, such a talented and beautiful couple, who have been handling cases before, and they are intimate, but no one has found out." ”
Zhou Jinghua chuckled when she heard this.
"Wasn't this discovered by my husband?"
Yue Jiao laughed, thinking that if Ao Ziyan heard the scandal in the East Palace on the front line, he would be angry that he would lose the battle and ruin his reputation, so he clapped his hands and laughed, if he was unmoved, he could just pull the princess and the king of Chu over, and let the two of them separate.
