Chapter 42: Dismissal
Xia Chunchao suddenly felt that someone was thin in his sleep, and suddenly woke up. In a panic, he didn't have time to take a closer look, so he turned his hand and pulled out a bright steel knife from under the pillow, and raised his hand to stab at the man.
The man was caught off guard, taken aback, turned his head and flashed, and grabbed Xia Chunchao's wrist. With great strength, he twisted the knife and threw it to the ground. Xia Chunchao was frightened and wanted to shout again, but he heard the man whisper: "Lady, it's me." ”
Xia Chunchao recognized this voice, and immediately turned from shock to anger, raised his leg and kicked him in the lower abdomen. Lu Chengyong seemed to know that he had made a mistake, and he didn't dare to dodge, so he let her kick it, and only snorted.
Xia Chunchao didn't say much, put on his clothes and got out of bed, walked to the table to relight the candle, turned around and leaned against the table, and said angrily to the bed: "I said that there are robbers in this house, why don't the girls know about it, it turned out to be you!" You bandit, when you come back from night, you don't know if you will make a sound, and you don't know how to touch the room, and you almost bluff me to death! Ming'er, if you do this again, I won't let you enter the room! As he spoke, he smelled the smell of alcohol, and frowned again: "Where did you come back drunk like this, and you still know how to come home, why don't you get drunk and die outside!" ”
Lu Chengyong is still wearing the dark dark coat today, and at this moment he is open, exposing his strong chest and smoky expression, looking at Xia Chunchao. Seeing her dark clouds, her face was slightly angry, her cheeks were crimson, she was only wearing a small coat, her arms and thighs were exposed, and she was stepping on a pair of red embroidered slippers on her feet, and her feet were as tender as spring shoots. ”
Xia Chunchao ignored his rumors, and only said: "You are drunk, I will ask the girl to pour sobering wine and tea to eat with you." Without saying a word, he called out to Bao'er Zhu'er.
Who knew that these two girls had already heard the movement outside, and no one would come in to ask for suspicion. Bao'er was honest, and at first she heard her grandmother calling, and she had to get up. Zhu'er pressed her and said in a low voice: "The young master and grandma are in the room, what are you doing in there?" Don't get people inside and out, they will hate you at both ends. How can this couple have an overnight feud, it must be good to get up tomorrow. Let's just sleep in peace and ignore it. Bao'er listened to Zhu'er's words, felt reasonable, hesitated for a while, and then did not move. The two of them covered their heads and slept, but they did not listen.
Xia Chunchao called a few times, and seeing that no one answered, he scolded a few words lightly, so he had to go and pour a bowl of tea in person and send it to the bedside. He refused to go over, but stretched out his arms and handed it to him.
Lu Chengyong glanced at her twice, saw her complexion, knew that he was really annoyed, and didn't dare to provoke her again, so he had to sigh, take the tea bowl and drink it all. A bowl of cold tea was in the stomach, and the wine had been awakened for eight minutes. Xia Chunchao went to twist the phone again and handed it to him, wiped his face before taking off his clothes for him. After cleaning up, she went to bed and turned over to sleep, ignoring him.
Seeing his wife's coldness, Lu Chengyong sighed, leaned over, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really angry?" Xia Chunchao didn't open his eyes, stretched out his hand and pushed him, but when he saw that he couldn't push away, he had to give up, and said in his mouth: "I'm not angry, do you care very much?" Lu Chengyong said in a low voice: "You are my lady, how can I not care?" ”
Xia Chunchao smiled and said, "Since you care, you shouldn't have said such bastard things last night." Lu Chengyong had already thrown last night's events out of the clouds, opened his eyes and asked in a daze, "What did I say yesterday?" When Xia Chunchao heard this, he thought that he was stunned, and it was like adding fuel to the fire, so he immediately sat up, nodded at him with a sneer, and said, "Did you really forget, or did you pretend to be confused with me?" Why am I being disrespectful to my wife? You saw what happened yesterday, too. If I dare to be weaker by one and a half points, our family will have to eat an outsider's calculation. It turns out that what you said to me when you came back was all to coax me to play, and when you got down to business, you arranged that I was not coming. You, you still say you're not a bastard! ”
Lu Chengyong listened to her count for a long time, and then he understood what was going on, and sighed: "What did I say, to make you so troubled." It turned out that it was only for this one sentence! As he spoke, he dragged Xia Chunchao up from the bed and held him in his arms. Xia Chunchao struggled a few times, only to feel that his arms were like iron, and he couldn't just ask for it.
I only heard Lu Chengyong say again: "From this point of view, you have been alone at home in the past few years, and you have suffered countless grievances. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so angry with me for a word. I was wrong, and I don't dare to rely on it. However, I have always had a temper without a heart, and yesterday I just said it casually, and I didn't mean that, but you don't want to take it to heart. I also didn't expect that my wife would be in the past, even though she was confused in the past, but who knew that she would be so unreasonable now. Everything is on me, if you have any anger, just sprinkle it on me, don't be angry with your own body. ”
Xia Chunchao was angry for him for not knowing how to understand him, but he didn't think about how to deal with it in the future. Seeing Lu Chengyong bowing her head and admitting her mistake angrily, she had no idea at home, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.
Lu Chengyong saw that she didn't speak, but said that she was still angry, so he said: "If the lady thinks that being a husband is really hateful, for the sake of being a husband who has not been at home for two days, she can forgive if she can open the net." Xia Chunchao heard this overtone, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by not being at home for two days?" Are you going to go out again? Lu Chengyong looked at her and replied with his chin bowed: "I went to the military department today, because the border war has not been cleared, and the Yi clan is waiting for peace talks." Yesterday, the emperor appointed two peace talks and asked a military attache who was familiar with border affairs to accompany him. Since I had just returned from there, the military headquarters reported me up, and the higher authorities had already approved it, and I was about to leave at the end of the month. ”
When Xia Chunchao heard the news, he was really like a basin of cold water on his head, his heart was very sour, and he couldn't speak, so he rubbed his eyes for a long time and said: "I knew that this was the case, you might as well not come back!" It's not hot for two days, and I'm going to go again, and the people who skim have a little up and not a little down, what do you mean! Lu Chengyong hugged her, seeing that her eyes were red, he felt uncomfortable, and only whispered: "Do you want me to be like this, how can I give you up!" However, this is the will of the imperial court, what can I do? Fortunately, if it is smooth here, the border war will definitely subside, but it will be done once and for all. Besides, I am now serving as a guard in Kyoto, and I will definitely return to my post. When this matter is over, we can stay together for a long time, okay? ”
Xia Chunchao has mixed feelings, and her intestines are soft, but she is just a woman, what can she do? What's more, this is a major national matter, and there is no reason to stop it. After bowing his head and thinking for a long time, he said: "This is the right matter, I am not the foolish woman who does not know the reason, so I naturally will not stop you." If you say this, I will wait for you to come back in peace. Don't worry about family affairs, I'll take care of it. When you go out, you are in the army, and you are careful in everything. Although you are loyal to the affairs of the state, you must also cherish yourself. ”
Seeing her like this, Lu Chengyong grinned and said, "It's not like you're going to leave tomorrow at dawn, and it's early as the end of the month, why do you want to do this?" It's really a stupid girl, asking for trouble. Let's have a day and a happy day now, and we'll talk about it at the end! "At this time, Xia Chunchao has already thrown yesterday's idle ideas into the clouds, and he only needs to spend more time with Lu Chengyong. Whatever he says, he will do anything. However, Lu Chengyong saw that it was too late, and he was afraid that it would wear down her body and make her tired the next day, so she didn't do much. The two didn't say anything all night.
Time is flying, and it is almost the tenth day of the first month.
Because of the banquet at home the next day, Xia Chunchao sent famous posts everywhere, inviting all relatives and friends of the Lu family, even her mother's family. And because both of them were extremely disgusted with the Zhang family, they never posted an invitation. The Liu family found out about this, although he hated and scolded endlessly, he didn't dare to provoke him, so he secretly asked Yingxia to take his name card to invite. Although he can't go out without permission in this summer, there is a younger brother at home who is idle. So she took two fruits, and coaxed the little monkey to do the errand for her.
Aunt Zhang accepted the post, read it once, and handed it to her daughter, saying: "This Xia really doesn't invite us, she will do things like this, aren't you afraid of the future?" Zhang Xueyan took the post, didn't look at it, just put it on the table, and said: "What are she afraid of, she is the grandmother of the main house, what is there to be afraid of!" Aunt Zhang looked at her daughter and suddenly smiled: "You don't have to be so depressed, it's just that you have suffered a few losses from her." What's more, in the previous incident in Changchun, although we lost on the face, she still fell into our trap in the end. When you enter the door of the Lu family, you don't have to be afraid of her. Zhang Xueyan sneered twice and said, "You still enter the Lu family!" Then Lu Chengyong can look at me squarely? Xia Chunchao hugged it so tightly again. Even if I really go in, how can I have a good life? According to me, it is better to do this. The cousin of the Lu family is full of only his wife, even if he really fights my body, I am afraid that it will only be a humiliation for nothing! ”
Aunt Zhang's smile retracted, her eyebrows upside down, and she immediately reprimanded: "What kind of bastard are you talking about!" We raised you once, and now we want you to do something, you are such a bastard! What about what you said earlier? Those words are conclusive, it turns out that they are all empty words?! On weekdays, the machine becomes smart, but why did you suddenly become a temper tantrum at this point?! What did I teach you in the past? Can this face be worth a few pennies, and can it be used as food and clothing?! Don't tell me that you won't go, I asked Mrs. Liu to buy all the things, but it cost seven or eight taels of silver, so easy to get! You dressed me up obediently tomorrow, how much benefit do you get, don't look for those who are not happy! ”
The words made Zhang Xueyan scold with shame and indignation. In the end, she is a daughter who has not been out of the cabinet, where can she withstand such a spicy scolding, and she will cry unconsciously.
Aunt Bizhang was not angry, and couldn't help but say, "You have a fart to cry in front of your mother?" Go to the man and cry! Sprinkle a few drops of your cat urine here, and it will wet my place! The number fell, and I saw that my daughter's face was getting more and more ugly, so I smiled again and said, "Good daughter, my mother also knows that you are embarrassed." However, we really can't do it, what kind of relatives can we find for you like us? No, do you really want to be a surviving person for the rest of your life and keep the festival for the dead ghost of the Liu family? Now that you have promised your aunt, you will go for a while. If this can be done, your good days will come. Relying on your father and mother to get a little light, it doesn't live up to us to raise you. You usually like to wear nice clothes and fresh jewelry. You see how gorgeous the clothes on your cousin's body are, and when you go in, these will be there naturally. After some sweet words, Zhang Xueyan was encircled.
