Chapter 1179: Entering the Palace?
cpa300_4(); ()
When I returned to Wu Mansion with Wu Yanqiu, the snow was already falling heavily.
The north wind howled, blowing a cloud of snow foam on my face, I got off the carriage, caught off guard, the snow foam blew into my eyes, it was so cold that I screamed, Cai Wei hurriedly came over to help me, Wu Yanqiu waved his hand to the people behind him: "Go and call the door, tell Mrs. SΓΉ, Miss Yan is here." β
After saying that, he walked up to me: "Are you okay?" β
Luckily, it was just a ball of snow, and I rubbed my eyes and was fine, so I shook my head and walked in with him.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Yang Jinyao hurriedly coming out from inside, she seemed to be a little puzzled why I came back with her husband, and when she arrived at the door, she looked at us a little ignorantly: "Husband...... Sister Yan, how are you-"
Wu Yanqiu walked directly in front of her, Yang Jinyao was not tall, much shorter than him, when Wu Yanqiu walked in front of her, he almost completely blocked his wife, I couldn't see what the expressions of the two of them were, I only saw Wu Yanqiu raise his hand, as if on her shoulder, and said softly: "Go and let the kitchen prepare, I want to entertain distinguished guests today." β
ββ¦β¦β
For a long time, no one across from him responded.
But at this moment, I can probably understand the incomprehension in Yang Jinyao's heart and the incredibleness in his eyes when he looks at him.
Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "Don't bother, just give a cup of hot tea to eat." β
Wu Yanqiu turned to look at me, and I also crossed his shoulder and saw Yang Jinyao's extraordinarily bright eyes.
I smiled and said, "You're still newly married, if I wasn't so cold, I wouldn't have come here to disturb." It's going to be hit by the sky. β
After saying that, I covered my mouth and laughed.
No matter how calm and introverted Wu Yanqiu is, he can't help but blush at this time, but Yang Jinyao in front of him is as if he didn't hear it, his big eyes are still looking at his husband in front of him, as if he is afraid that if he loses a moment, the qiΔ in front of him will become a dream.
I didn't stay in Wu's Mansion for a long time, especially looking at the smile that Wu Yanqiu could barely hide at the corner of his mouth, and Yang Jinyao's big, bright eyes throbbed incomparably, and he was also a person with eyes, so I didn't want to dislike people, but after the carriage drove away, I lifted the curtain and looked at the couple who were standing at the gate to see me off, Wu Yanqiu was still holding his wife's shoulder with one hand, and the snow fell all over the sky, falling thinly on their shoulders, but that pair of figures only made people feel extremely warm.
The carriage was far away, and I couldn't see anything, so I slowly lowered the curtain with a smile on my lips.
Cai Wei looked at me: "Madame is so happy?" β
I smiled and was silent for a while before saying: "As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a family, and I helped them form this family today, but I am afraid that the merit is higher than the construction of a seventh-level floating temple." β
Cai Wei smiled: "Madam is talking nonsense, Lord Wu and Miss Jin Yao have already married." β
I didn't say anything, but the smile on my lips deepened.
Actually, I don't care too much about whether there is this merit or not, what I care about the most today is the place where Wu Yanqiu went - that is, the place where the Protector Master practiced.
It turned out that it was on a hill in such a secluded outskirts.
It's not a place where incense is strong, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult for woodcutters and hunters to go there, so naturally they know even less, and it is indeed suitable for people's cultivation and will not be disturbed.
Excuse me, though......
I couldn't hold back a smug smile on my lips - it depended on who it was.
|
As the saying goes, things are impermanent.
On that day, I found the place where the Protector Master practiced, and I thought that I would soon be able to meet the Master in person, but I didn't expect that the next day, there would be a curfew in the capital.
Because, it's almost the New Year.
It's not impossible to say that you want to go during the day, but with the curfew at night, the inspection of the city during the day has become stricter, especially at the west gate.
I couldn't help but wonder if my intentions had been seen through.
But since this is the case, I naturally can't go against the limelight, after all, Pei Yuanhao's previous arrangement was that he didn't want to let inconsequential people disturb the mysterious protector mage, if I still insisted on going, it would be to expose his reverse scales, but I was afraid that the result would not be good.
So this matter has been delayed again.
Seeing that the snow on the roof is getting thicker day by day, when I sleep at night, I am often woken up by the whining north wind, looking at a white light on the bed, but when I open the window, I often find that it is still late at night, otherwise it is also the early morning when the sky will be bright and unbright, only the snow on the ground is reflected on the window paper, giving people such an illusion.
I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Cai Wei brought Xiaoni and them to serve me to get up with hot water, and when she saw me standing by the bed in thin clothes, she immediately exploded: "Madam! β
As soon as I saw her rushing in with her sleeves rolled up, she hurriedly closed the window, just like a child who had made a mistake, but I still couldn't stop her from slamming the door open, and rushed to me at once: "How many times have you said it, why doesn't Madame know how to take care of herself?" Standing by the bed in such thin clothes and blowing the wind, what if I catch a cold? As he spoke, he touched my hand and immediately cried out, "Oops, it's so cold!" β
I was so annoyed by her nagging that I could only withdraw my hand: "I'm fine, you came just opened the window." β
"I can't even open it just now!"
As she spoke, she escorted me back to the bed and sat down, the quilt covering me.
I sat cross-legged on the bed like a child, wrapped tightly in a quilt, like a snowman built by the children outside, and it looked funny and funny, and I sat there laughing.
Cai Wei wrung a handkerchief from the boiling water in the copper basin and came over to wipe my hands, and looked up at me: "What are you laughing at, madam?" β
"No, nothing."
I smiled and looked out through the crack in the window, and I was almost blinded by the snow falling one after another.
But somehow, I couldn't laugh anymore.
Because I remembered the good words.
She has been in the south since she was born, although she once went to Dongzhou with us when she was less than a year old, but there are memories there at that time, for her, winter is the warmth of the south of the Yangtze River, she must not have imagined, there is such a snow scene, such a north wind, such a winter.
However, even so, she could not see it.
Now she is only trapped in her closed and safe world, and even the blessings in the temple that day did not wake her up.
It's been more than a month since I returned to the capital, and I don't know how many months there will be for me and her, and I don't know how many closed years there will be in her life in the future.
After wiping my hands, Cai Wei raised her head, looked at my somewhat blank eyes, as if she felt something, and said softly: "Madame is missing Miss Miaoyan again, isn't she?" β
I looked at her and didn't speak.
She sighed softly, too.
In our house, the atmosphere is usually very good, especially when Shui Xiu is with her, the two of them talk and laugh, and I will be happy listening to it next to me, but once I think of the wonderful words, no matter how wonderful the jokes are, I can't show my face.
Cai Wei didn't say anything more, served me to freshen up, and breakfast was brought from the kitchen.
I don't have much appetite today, a bowl of porridge scoop a spoonful and drink half a mouthful, I don't know how much time I delayed, the dishes on the table are cold and I haven't eaten much, Cai Wei can't say anything, so she can only coax me to eat more, and send a message to people to go to the kitchen to get two hot snacks to come over, and coax my stomach.
Listening to her words, a voice outside laughed and said, "Why does my sister eat like a child, and still coax her?" β
As soon as I heard this voice, I was shocked, and when I looked up, I saw Yang Jinyao walking in wearing a big red gorilla felt.
She was smiling, her snow-white face was as crystal clear as the snow outside, and her cheeks were slightly pink when she was dressed in red, she looked beautiful and energetic, and even her eyes were extraordinarily bright.
It seems to be a little different from before.
I knew her change, but I didn't say anything, I only smiled: "Jin Yao is here, what's the matter, doesn't your husband have to go to court today?" β
As soon as she heard me mention Wu Yanqiu, she immediately blushed.
Then, I laughed out loud, Cai Wei hurriedly stepped forward to serve, helped her take off her coat and hang it beside her, she came to me and took my arm, her face was even redder, even the roots of her ears were a little red, and said, "Sister, don't laugh." β
I laughed, "But you're laughing yourself." β
Her face turned even redder when she heard me say that.
Xiaoni and Xi Xi, who served next to her, went down, Cai Wei stood far away, Yang Jinyao and I sat at the table, she held my hands with both hands, although there was so much snow outside, she came by stepping on the snow, but the palm was hot, I could almost feel the beating joy heart in her chest from the temperature of her palm.
I laughed and said, "How's that?" Tell my sister about it. β
She raised a pair of big bright eyes and looked at me: "Thank you, sister." β
"Huh?"
"Heβ" Before she could say this, her face turned a little redder, and she lowered her head in shyness, and I understood it all, and took her hands tighter, brought them to her ear, and asked in a voice as low as falling snow, "...... you Roundhouse? β
She blushed, almost burying her face in her arms, and after a while, nodded slightly.
I immediately burst out laughing!
Although I said so many things in front of Wu Yanqiu that day, in the final analysis, the matter between husband and wife is only the matter of the two men and women, and outsiders can't help even if they shout their throats, who knows that Wu Yanqiu really figured it out and became a real husband and wife with her.
I was so happy that I could barely close my mouth, holding her hands and rubbing and rubbing them.
"That's great, that's great!"
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
She was shy, and looked up at me again, with a happy smile on her face, and the vivid pleasure almost trickled down from the corners of her eyes and mouth, drowning her whole being.
Looking at her like this, I was naturally happy in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Recalling the way she came to my house and cried in my arms, at that time, she seemed to have been abandoned by the whole world, but there was no one to complain about those grievances, she couldn't even be like her past self, crying happily, scolding bluntly, all the grievances after crying, she could only swallow it back into her stomach, and still go back, facing the man she loved deeply, but gave herself great harm.
It turns out that a girl's sadness comes so easily, and happiness comes so easily.
Being as simple as she is not necessarily a good thing.
I smiled and whispered in her ear, "Did he tell you?" β
Yang Jinyao's face turned red again, and after a while, he said softly: "At first, he didn't say anything, but in the past two days, he began to let the housekeeper follow me, and some things were also taught to me to deal with, he said, although I am young, I will grow up sooner or later, and I have to learn, let alone make a temperament." In fact, I also know that he is a child, and I am trying to make myself less childish now. It's true! β
She was afraid that I wouldn't believe it, so she said, "I came to my sister's place today, and I told him yesterday." β
Looking at her serious expression, I nodded slightly.
As if encouraged, she laughed.
After laughing, a faint blankness suddenly flashed in Jin Yao's eyes: "I just don't know when I will become a woman who can stand by his side and stand side by side with him." β
I smiled and patted the back of her hand: "As long as he is by your side, sooner or later, you will do it." β
Yang Jinyao looked up at me: "Really? β
"Of course." I laughed and said, "I believe in you, and he believes in you, how can you not believe in yourself?" β
Listening to my words, Yang Jinyao bit her lower lip as if she had gained some strength, and said softly: "Actually, I think so too. β
ββ¦β¦β
"I told him to wait for me."
ββ¦β¦β
"It doesn't matter how young I am now, how small and ignorant a child I am in his eyes, as long as he is willing to let me stay with him and let me be his wife."
ββ¦β¦β
"One day, I will be the wife who satisfies him."
As she said this, her eyes lit up with infinite anticipation.
Looking at her like this, the smile in my eyes became even more beautiful.
It turns out that there are lovers in the world who eventually become married, which is such a beautiful thing, and even the onlookers will feel happy, since this is the case, then I really hope that every pair of lovers in this world will not experience any life and death, and it is the greatest luck to be able to stay together in an ordinary and happy way.
It's just that I don't know if I can have such a blessing myself.
I chatted with her, laughing, time passed little by little, at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, it seemed that someone stepped on the snow and hurriedly ran over, who knew that as soon as I arrived at the door, there was a click, as if I had fallen.
"Ouch!"
As soon as she heard the sound outside, Cai Wei frowned and walked over.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Xi Xi lying at the foot of the steps.
Cai Wei was angry when she saw it, and said, "What is the matter so in a hurry, taking care of the front and the back?" β
Xi Xi is usually a little reckless, and he doesn't feel it when he is used to being scolded, so he only stood up and patted the snow foam on his knees, and then ran to Cai Wei: "Madam, Sister Cai Wei, someone is in the palace." β
When I heard this, I didn't even bother to raise my eyelids, but Yang Jinyao looked at me in amazement.
Cai Wei also said: "What's the fuss? β
In our mansion, it is not uncommon for people to come to the palace, Pei Yuanhao probably also commanded, the following people are really done as a holy decree, since I moved in not long ago, almost every day there will be food sent from the palace to the house, every day is not the same, at first they were honestly afraid, but later they were used to it, I never ate those things, sometimes I poured them out, sometimes, I know that Xiaoni and Xi Xi will also taste a little.
Therefore, when I heard that someone was coming to the palace, Cai Wei was not surprised.
Yang Jinyao called me softly: "Sister? β
I waved my hand lightly to signal that she was okay, but Xi Xi lay on the side of the door and didn't leave, gasped twice, and then said, "It's not the one who delivered the food, the person who delivered the food has already left, and the things have been taken to the kitchen." This time, it's someone from the palace again. β
I couldn't help frowning.
Someone again? Is there any new trick?
Looking up at her, he said, "Who is here?" β
"A father-in-law, and a carriage waiting for the lady outside."
ββ¦β¦β
What do you mean?
I glanced up at Cai Wei, she was also a little stunned, and said softly, "Madam, do you want me to go out and have a look?" β
ββ¦β¦β
I thought about it and shook my head, since it wasn't the palace people who usually delivered food, it looked different from usual, and it wouldn't be helpful for her to go out. Yang Jinyao looked at me and said, "Sister, is there something I want to tell you in the palace, do you want to go out and have a look?" β
People have come to the door, so naturally they have to go to see it.
I thought for a moment and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go out and have a look, if it's okay, I'll come back and we'll talk for a while." β
She nodded.
I said, "What ifβ"
This time, she reacted quickly and said, "Sister, don't worry, it's not the first time I've come, and I won't find it back." β
I nodded, then turned and walked out.
Cai Wei held an umbrella for me, walked all the way out, to the gate, the door was still open, Lao Zhu stood beside him, and when he saw me coming, he hurriedly greeted me.
"Madam, that father-in-law has been waiting outside."
I nodded, walked out directly, and sure enough, I saw a carriage parked outside, and next to it stood a eunuch wearing a brocade robe, wearing a three-mountain hat, and holding a dusty handle in his hand. β
I stood on the steps and looked at him with a smile: "I don't know why this father-in-law is coming to the cold house?" β
The father-in-law raised his head and said with a smile: "Madam, the slave maid was ordered to come and take Madame into the palace. β
As soon as I heard this, my face sank.
