249. Gathering and Dispersing Still III.
Now I really want to leave, and no one dares to let me move anymore, and I am also a little afraid, afraid of accidents on the road, afraid of being sorry for Yinzhen.
I always thought that he would not have another chance to have another child, and although the timing was very inappropriate, I had no choice and no choice at all.
Mixed joy and sorrow, I unsurprisingly dragged down everyone's itinerary, Xiaoyan persuaded me that I was not in a hurry to accompany me here to give birth to the child and then go to Xining, but I knew that she wanted Yinxiang to think badly, just like I wanted Yinzhen, and I also thought of my brother who was still in the army, and even Yinzhen I missed it more than ever. Maybe it's because it's too far from home and too close to loved ones.
The final decision was that we bought a small house in Lanzhou, invited a few girls and a doctor who came to consult every day, and Xiaoyan stayed for the time being.
I seem to have even the courage to have a child, and I am not afraid of death to imitate Yinzhen's handwriting and write a prayer post, so that Xingjiu inquired about the green battalion troops in Gansu and sent it, I don't know if it is really just trying luck. When he almost gave up after staying at home every day, he came back and brought someone with him.
Seeing the faces of the two people standing in the courtyard gate covered with wind and snow, the hot tea in the palm of his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he couldn't help but grasp the door frame with trembling hands, Yinxiang had already strode over and hugged Xiaoyan who ran to me and was stupid.
Such a meeting was unexpected to me, there are no words to describe it, only hugging it tightly. His face was stained with snow and tears, and he didn't feel cold but warm, as if he could melt the ice and snow.
Seeing that Yinzhen was still standing in the courtyard and looking around, I gently pushed Yinxiang away and wiped his face before I was about to step over, Yinzhen had already hurriedly walked over and made a gesture, and a laughing fourth sister-in-law called out of his mouth as usual. When I raised my face, I saw the familiar hearty smile, and the beard on his lips like his fourth brother, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a while.
Taking two steps back to the door, Yinxiang turned to pull him, and the two brothers patted each other's shoulders and strode in, and the snow fell all over the ground.
"The two sisters-in-law are so fast, comparable to the generals in the army. Yinzhen threw the cloak onto the little girl standing on the side and took the tea I handed over, looked at Yinxiang sitting at the other end of the table and the filial piety standing beside him, and smiled undiminished, "If it weren't for our brother coming here, the thirteenth sister-in-law would have to wait here." ”
Xiaoyan stuffed the tea into Yinxiang's hand and still stood upright, not caring about Yinzhen's words, his eyes narrowed like a cat that had found a fish, and looked straight at his man.
The beard on Yinxiang's face is more than Yinzhen's, and even the sideburns are almost connected, looking extremely mature, and he can't find the appearance of the noble and white prince he once was.
I stood at the table and looked at it a few times and couldn't help laughing, and I was still laughing when I added tea to Yinzhen, "This is to have personality, or to keep warm." Are all the soldiers in your army like this?
Yinzhen touched his face indifferently, stretched out his hand and swept the blue and black on Yinxiang's face, and smiled hehehe, "Man." ”
The fourteenth in front of him is no longer the handsome young man who follows his brothers in and out of the palace, although he still has a smile in his eyes that makes people happy when he sees it, but it is different from before, to be precise, it is different from before he left Beijing. Those high-spirited spirits have become calm and steady in just one year, and they will flash out inadvertently, and the sharp spirit that will be revealed like a knife and axe will fade behind the smile, clear but no longer at first glance, really like a mature man.
I don't know why their brother came to Lanzhou, but I also know that I shouldn't ask, and it would be a surprise to see them.
When Yinxiang swept my lower abdomen in a thick dress and couldn't see the shape, Yinzhen suddenly stood up and gave way to the chair, stretched out his hand and stopped, "Fourth sister-in-law, don't stand, you should sit, it's important to be careful." If the fourth brother knows what grievances you have suffered in our brother's realm, when you return to Beijing in the future, the brothers are afraid that they will not be able to tell clearly. ”
"Sit down quickly, as a general, you still stick to the rules, but it's not like the fourteenth master of the famous capital. Don't worry, I know and care about this body. ”
Xiao Yan also laughed helpfully, and walked to the door with both hands back and forth on Yinxiang's shoulders for a long time before walking to the door, turning around and laughing and quipping, "Regardless of her, she can't see the sun when she sits in this room every day, and it's about to get moldy, so let her stand and change her posture." Your brother will sit down first, and I'll go and see what to eat, but there are good things to bring from the capital. ”
Yinzhen smiled and said hello, pulled the chair that the girl brought over with one hand and carefully placed it beside me, and when he saw me sitting firmly, he threw his robe and sat back, and continued to drink tea.
In fact, we can't say much, we can't mention things in the army, and we can't do it in Beijing, Yinzhen asked a few words about whether Kangxi and Concubine De are healthy, that is, what they have seen and heard all the way, or the market life in Lanzhou City.
After dinner, they were not in a hurry to leave, but said that they would not return until tomorrow, so they arranged a room for Yinzhen to stay. Yinxiang got up and said that he wanted to accompany him, but was pushed back into the chair, Yinzhen left a sentence and said it again, and walked out of the door quickly.
"I have something to say to Fourteen. After saying that, I hurriedly stood up and chased towards the door, turning around and flashing back to my room in the night. Xiaoyan's resentful little eyes, you can't afford to provoke it, hide. Fourteen have seen it, and we can't be blind.
I was in the room with a spark and was sighing boredly, when the door slammed very softly.
Seeing that I was standing with the door drawn, Fourteen pointed to the chair politely, and when he saw me nodding, he raised his long legs and stepped into the threshold, and sat in the chair with a grin, took a teacup, and took care of himself.
"Fourth sister-in-law, there is a sentence that you should not say as a younger brother, but you are your own sister-in-law, so let's get straight to the point. ”
I just watched him not answer, the candlelight shining on his contemplative face was different from the day, the composure seemed to be more obvious, and the smile was more like his fourth brother than back then, and his expression was the same.
After waiting quietly, I heard him sigh, put down the teacup in his hand and whispered, "The affairs in the army are busy, and the thirteenth brother and I are afraid that we will not have time to take care of the fourth sister-in-law, and at this time, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to send you back to Beijing." In that case, I will send a few reliable people back tomorrow, and my sister-in-law will be safe here. It's just that...... Fourth brother there...... I still have to give a shout. I believe that the thirteenth brother will do the same. ”
"Otherwise, I'd better go back, so as not to stay here and worry you, and everyone will be safe when I go back. ”
Yinzhen looked at me and didn't know what to think, shook his head and stood up with a smile, walked to the door, looked up at the cold crescent moon in the night sky, and his broad back almost blocked my vision.
"The fourth sister-in-law lives with peace of mind first, if she really wants to go back, I will arrange it. If you want to write to the fourth brother, leave it to the people who come, they are faster than you. ”
"Okay, Brother Lao is bothered. Seeing him dusting off his robe and swinging towards the threshold, I hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and turned to his side, "I went to see Peihan before I went out, and the mother and son are all good in the house." In a few days, will any grain be brought and handed over to you?"
Yinzhen sighed, his eyes reflected in the moonlight darkened and brightened, and the smile at the end of his eyes brought out a thin line, softening his resolute face, "Then the younger brother is grateful to the two sisters-in-law." ”
"My own brother, I am a foreigner. Although my sister-in-law can't help much, it's okay to provide you with a few days of military rations. It's not too early, go back and rest, it's going to be hard tomorrow. ”
Fourteen, who stepped on the snow and returned to the room, walked very slowly, much like Yinzhen. Similar backs and similar steps, even every step out of a footprint is like leaving a mood on it, which makes me feel a faint pain in my heart.
He is also thirty years old, with a family, a wife, and children, but he is burdened with the heavy responsibility of the country, far away from the capital, stationed on such an icy border. He has the arrogance of the prince but always smiles at the brothers, and rarely hears of him discord or awkwardness with anyone, and who sincerely prays for him at this time to protect the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty.
I have watched Yinzhen grow from a teenager to what he is today, even Yinxiang and Lao Jiu, but I ignored the only sibling brother next to him. They always say that I am good for everything, and there seems to be a difference.
I used to wonder why these two brothers, both like Concubine De and Kangxi, are not like each other. Perhaps as early as I inadvertently, the destined qiē in the blood had already been formed, and the two of them were more similar than any brothers.
Before dawn there was a slight movement in the yard, and I hurriedly dressed and went out to see, and the two brothers were ready to go. Xiaoyan stood in front of Yinxiang, tightened the tie on the cloak and stepped aside, took my hand and stared at him, smiling on his face but clenching my hand painfully.
The love when we met seemed to come up again, and I don't know when we would see each other again. I tried to send them out with a smile and pulled Xiaoyan back to the house, feeling sorry for her. On the contrary, she persuaded me that it was inconvenient for a woman to go to the army, and that it would be more comfortable to accompany me. The two of us know that we can't talk about it anymore by relying on each other, we just want to live one day at a time.
After waiting for a while, Yinzhen's people did not arrive, so we left this matter behind and lived with peace of mind. In this Lanzhou City, I am used to being cold, but I really responded to her words, and I am really comfortable compared to the capital.
The army garrison is urgent, the market is still lively, the noise is endless, the merchants from the south to the north will always look at your eyes, and realize what is the important commercial port town of the Silk Road, but it is a pity that there is a lack of some silk to go west to Tianma to the east.
On the first day of October, Xiaoyan made a sumptuous meal, although there was no birthday star, we still sat around a table to create a happy atmosphere.
There was a knock on the courtyard door twice, and I looked along the curtain lifted by the girl, thinking if it would be Yinzhen's people who had arrived, and Xiaoyan had already run out quickly.
Yinxiang?The two of them made an appointment?
I don't believe that Yinxiang would do this kind of thing at such a time, but it is not impossible to appear, after all, Yinzhen looks good to him, and if he doesn't say it, he will come back for his birthday.
We all waited quietly for the people who entered the door to expect a surprise, but when the courtyard door opened, we were as stunned as Xiaoyan.
I want to close the door again and pretend I didn't see it, it's too late.
