Chapter 222: Epilogue
Time flies, the white horse flies, and since the day Xu Jinhan was shot, eight years have passed unconsciously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the past eight years, Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun not only have two healthy and lovely children, a boy and a woman, but their plain and happy married life has been maintained extremely stable, and there have been no great twists and turns.
The autumn breeze is cool, the golden cinnamon is fragrant, it is another autumn year, and it is another autumn hunting September.
This year, as has been customary for decades, the first prey to be announced, the stag, was brought to the entrance of the woodland, waiting to be shot by the saint with a bow and arrow.
It's just that unlike nine years ago, the emperor who is now old can no longer pull such a hard bow. As a result, this arrow, which symbolized the supreme imperial power, was handed over by the Holy Lord himself to his extremely satisfactory successor, the crown prince Ouyang Han.
"Dad, tonight I want to eat the stewed rabbit meat made by my mother, so you must beat three rabbits today and come back, okay? After all, in the evening, the two Brother Lin, as well as Uncle Lin and Aunt Baliya, they will definitely come over to eat with us. So without the three rabbits, this stew would definitely not be enough. ”
At the open entrance and exit outside the forest farm, I saw that everyone else had already followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and galloped into the mountains and forests, but he knew that his father was not on duty today, so he didn't need to protect the prince, and then dared to be coquettish to Lu Shaoyun Lu Chengrui, who raised his soft little hand and pulled his father's robe and begged: "Daddy, you will come back with three rabbits early, right?" Chengrui didn't want to go hungry. ”
"Daddy promised you that he would definitely come back with prey as soon as possible, and never let my Chengrui go hungry." Lovingly and dotingly picked up his four-year-old daughter, Lu Shaoyun, who lowered his head slightly and kissed her on the cheek, then turned to Lu Jijia, who was standing beside Xia Shuanghan, with a smile on his face, and asked his seven-year-old son, "Does Jijia have anything you want?" Daddy will go in and call you later. ”
"My son doesn't have anything he particularly wants, those beautiful animal skins, when my son has practiced the bow horse, he will definitely fight himself back in the future."
Unlike his sister, who inherited all the advantages of his father and mother's appearance, so he looks Yuxue cute, and at the same time has the same hair color and pupil color as Xia Shuanghan, Lu Jijia, who looks young and old, has a witty vicissitudes of life on his face, whether it is his appearance characteristics or personality and temperament, it seems to be carved out of a mold with his father.
"Really? Jijia wants to wait a few years before hunting for himself, right? Uh-huh, very good, very good. Lu Shaoyun, who put down the daughter in his arms and reached out to rub the top of his son's hair, soon turned to Xia Shuanghan after showing an encouraging and appreciative smile to Lu Jijia: "Then I'll go in, you remember to take care of the children." ”
"Got it, you can go in with confidence!" Xia Shuanghan, who smiled and watched her husband turn over and get on the horse, took her young daughter and waved at Lu Shaoyun, and soon took her children to the meeting place she had agreed with Baliya yesterday at the urging of her son.
On the outside of the camp full of dense tents, where it overlaps with the wooded mountain forest, the place where Xia Shuanghan showed Xie Zhuoting and Zhang Yunyan archery skills nine years ago, Baliya, who had selected a big tree with her two sons and had already drawn a target on the trunk, had already instructed her two children to practice before a few teas.
"Yo Baria, it's early!" After Lu Jijia, who automatically joined the Lin brothers' archery practice without his mother's greeting, pulled his sister to watch them practice, he took out part of his mind to watch his two children's Xia Shuanghan, and gossiped with Baliya.
Stretching out from the topic of dinner, Xia Shuanghan and Bariya, who talked about the children's recent headaches and how well the children had completed their respective homework, could not keep such a relaxed and happy conversation going. Because, even people who never cause trouble will always be inexplicably entangled by all kinds of rights and wrongs that they take the initiative to provoke.
"Ouch, I said Sister Shuanghan, the young lady of the Zhenbei General's family chased Ting Xuan into the forest! You can still stand here and chat without hurrying, you don't care about your husband's situation at all, I said you are really relieved! ”
With obvious sarcasm and ridicule in his tone, the person who stepped forward to provoke Xia Shuanghan was Lu Shaoyun's eldest sister-in-law, Tan.
In the past eight years, because they went to Xu's mansion to instigate Xu to enter the prison of Jingzhao Yin Yamen to find trouble with Xia Shuanghan, which indirectly led to Xu's suicide, Meng and Tan, who had been rejected by their respective husbands because of their behavior.
Meng, who was severely punished by her husband and had been depressed in the following days, passed away three years ago due to illness. And the Tan family, who is also having a bad time, is constantly aggravating the resentment in his heart that is bred by the summer frost and cold.
"Tan, I said you are not finished? Every time you see me, you have to come forward to look for trouble like this, don't you feel annoyed? She asked Baliya beside her to take care of the children for the time being, and then turned around to meet Xia Shuanghan, who was going forward, and quickly responded.
"I don't know what kind of gunpowder you took today, I think about it, did your husband go to which aunt's yard and left you aside, or did which young lady of your mother's family messed up the marriage that was obviously very likely to be negotiated because of the relationship you disgraced them? Tan, I advise you to stop and stop, otherwise if you continue to make trouble, the person who makes a fool of yourself today can only be you and not me. ”
It is said that three years ago, Tan's youngest sister in her mother's family was originally likely to marry Xie Zhuoting, who had become a martial artist at that time and served in Jinwuwei.
It's a pity that whenever the Tan family meets, they come to provoke Xia Shuanghan without anything to do, and I don't know how many times Xie Zhuoting, who has a lot of dealings with Xia Shuanghan, inadvertently bumped into him. So, because of Tan's behavior, Xie Zhuoting, who had a lot of bad feelings towards her mother's sister, categorically refused this marriage and married a girl from someone else's family.
"I don't understand, in the Dingguo Mansion, you have been disgusted by your grandfather, father and your husband, in your mother's house, you have been complained by your sister and mother because of what you did caused your sister's marriage to be disrupted, you are so unflattering and unreliable, where did you get the confidence to dare to take the initiative to come to my door again and again to find trouble? Could it be that if you don't make a big fuss and make a big fuss about yourself, you will be dissatisfied, right? ”
"......" has to admit that compared with Xia Shuanghan, the granddaughter-in-law of the titular head of the Dingguo Mansion, she is indeed living a very bleak life, and whether it is in the eyes of her grandfather or father-in-law, the Tan family, who has no status at all, remembers very clearly that in the past eight years, every time she had a quarrel with Xia Shuanghan, she was a shameless ending.
So, Tan, who was accustomed to using the method of provoking Xia Shuanghan to vent the resentment in his heart, but didn't dare to really provoke her, left the sentence "When you are old and frail, and when you are late in love, there will always be another woman who can clean you up for me", then turned around in disgrace, picked up his tail and left.
"This woman is really capable of tossing, she has been messing up for a few years, why is it still so endless?" After Xia Shuanghan returned to her side, she snorted very disdainfully at Tan's back from her nose, and raised her eyes to look at the friend beside her as she spoke: "What happened just now?" I heard her say, it seems that the young lady of General Zhenbei's family went to the forest to 'meet' Brother Tingxuan, such a trouble, don't you plan to follow up and take a look? ”
"There's no need."
With a calm and confident smile, Xia Shuanghan, who waved his hand disappretently, said: "Over the years, are there still fewer women who have coveted Ting Xuan?" It's just that no matter what kind of thoughts they have and what kind of tricks they use, as long as Ting Xuan's heart is always on me, then they will always be clowns who make me laugh, and it is absolutely impossible to have a second identity. That's why I don't take them seriously at all. ”
In the past few years, Lu Shaoyun has often been praised as "the best husband in Beijing" by the nobles of the family in the capital because of his handsome appearance, strong physique, bright future, rich property, and his unswerving and loyal feelings for his wife. At the same time, because of this praise, the peach blossoms around Lu Shaoyun who died without illness have never been broken.
"I don't understand, Brother Tingxuan is obviously married to Sister Shuanghan in the way of wealth, and the laws of Daxia have also clearly stipulated, but any man who is rich cannot divorce his wife or take a concubine for the rest of his life. So since it is impossible to replace you no matter what, why do those women still pounce on Brother Tingxuan so incomprehensibly? ”
Facing the doubts and sighs from his friend who frowned slightly, Xia Shuanghan, who was calm, hooked his lips and smiled: "This question is easy to answer, because they still have a trace of luck in their hearts." I think that when I got married to Tingxuan, I went through the marriage ceremony of the Rong clan, not the man who came to the woman's house to carry out the marriage ceremony of worshipping the church. ”
"After getting married, Tingxuan and I, we have been living in our own house, and we have not lived in the Xia family, and my two children are also surnamed Lu and not Xia, so those women will have a trace of luck in their hearts because of this kind of sign that is completely inconsistent with the wealth, and it is not incomprehensible to feel that they may get Tingxuan."
"But even so, I don't have any worries because of these women. Anyway, those wild bees and butterflies sent to the door, Ting Xuan will not hesitate to help me deal with them as soon as possible. So I just need to take care of my two children and manage our small family together, and that's enough. ”
Outside the mountains and forests, Xia Shuanghan didn't care about the women who tried to replace her; In the mountains and forests, facing the young lady of the Zhenbei General's family who obviously had intentions for him, Lu Shaoyun's performance did not disappoint his wife.
Ever since he turned over and entered the mountains and forests, Lu Shaoyun immediately noticed the Miss Zhenbei General's Mansion who was following him and going with him to the mountains and forests of the Eastern District, which were full of small prey.
Feng Qianrou, this girl, was known to Lu Shaoyun, who had been in the Northwest Garrison for many years and had been in contact with General Zhenbei for a long time. It's just that knowing is knowing, and when he knows what Feng Qianrou, who has reached marriageable age, wants, he won't look at her for the sake of being familiar with her elders, so he will be kind and take care of her.
Lu Shaoyun, who was holding the reins and moving forward in an orderly manner, completely ignoring the woman behind him, was only thinking about completing the "three rabbits" that his daughter asked him as soon as possible. It's just that when he saw a rabbit with good fur but a small size, and then thought about "whether it can count if this one goes back", Feng Qianrou, who followed closely, took the lead with a bow and arrow.
"If she wants it, let it be given to her!" Silently muttering in his heart, Lu Shaoyun, who turned the horse's head and wanted to go elsewhere to search for the next prey, was suddenly jumped off the horse, ran a few steps forward, and then bent down to pick up the rabbit with the arrow and turned back Feng Qianrou, raised his hand to block the way.
"Commander Lu, would you like to give you this rabbit? I just saw your daughter outside the forest, and I think Chengrui is very cute and cute, so this white rabbit gave her a scarf, do you think it's good? ”
Although he didn't have the slightest good impression of the two children born to Xia Shuanghan in his heart, because he knew that Lu Shaoyun was a "crazy demon who loves women", he had to keep a smile on his face, and Feng Xianrou, who tried to use the child as a breakthrough to start a topic with Lu Shaoyun, had no real plans to export, and all of them were immediately disappointed.
"Miss Feng, since you returned to the capital with your father from the border pass half a year ago, I believe that my deliberate behavior of avoiding you several times has made you completely understand what I mean. So even today, even though you have already touched so many soft nails with me, do you still continue to be obsessed, and then force me to say those ugly words when I can't bear it anymore? ”
Lu Shaoyun, who had never intended to take anything from these women who had intentions for him, naturally couldn't pay attention to the white rabbit that Feng Qianrou wanted to give him. Sitting in the saddle, looking down condescendingly at the woman under the horse, he had already made up his mind that if she did not want to meet today, then he would not leave her any more sympathetic ideas.
In the quiet and lonely mountain forest, Feng Qianrou, who was holding a bow and arrow in his hand and carrying a white rabbit at the same time, stood under the horse and looked up at Lu Shaoyun, who was happy with him, because of the words of the person he liked, his eyes were red in an instant, and his lips trembled slightly uncontrollably.
"Why? I ask myself that she is no worse than the loyal and righteous countryman, but why did you choose her who is not good-looking, and don't look at other women with her eyes straight at all? ”
"Except for the frost and cold, no matter what posture other women use to dangle in front of my eyes, whether they want to refuse or welcome, whether they are in a commotion, they are all red and dry to me, and they can't leave a reflection in my eyes. So Miss Feng, I hope you don't continue to be obsessed, but forget about me as soon as possible and find your own happiness! ”
Although he never kept a pleasant face to those women who came to the door, but in the face of women like Feng Qianrou who still had "rescue", Lu Shaoyun was unwilling to regard them all as "Pei Huanting", and showed no mercy to them, and even attacked them with words so that they couldn't even maintain their self-esteem.
So, after leaving the sentence "The sea was once difficult to turn into water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, you should understand this truth", he turned the horse's head, and left Feng Xianrou to beat the horse and left.
"Really? It turns out that your feelings for the loyal and righteous countryman are really as rumored, unswerving and loyal. In this way, it is time for me, who have absolutely no chance, to give up my stubbornness and accept the family affairs arranged for me by my father. ”
Another woman who wanted to have "the best husband in the capital", but it was impossible to get her wish was solved by Lu Shaoyun. And Xia Shuanghan, who was quite satisfied with her husband's performance, gave Lu Shaoyun a reward with a smile after nightfall.
"What kind of reward is a kiss on the forehead? We're all old husbands and wives, and you're still playing this with me, are you still the innocent young man I didn't understand anything from ten years ago? Lu Shaoyun, who was not at all satisfied with the reward provided by his wife, flattened his mouth and said for himself: "No, you have to make additional rewards." ”
"What's more, don't you look at where this is? You're so embarrassed! ”
Under the starry sky, the two children who had fallen asleep in the tent were properly placed, and then sat on the log by the bonfire outside the tent with her husband, wrapped in the same blanket and snuggled together intimately and chatted with Xia Shuanghan, and said: "And this is not our own home, there are other tents around!" How degrading it must be that you are playing a scoundrel with me here, so that others will see it? ”
"That's why I said at the beginning, I hate Aki Hunting! The tent is not soundproof, you can't rest assured that the children, this month, I am destined to not be able to eat meat properly. ”
In the dark of the night, it was very certain that it was impossible for the female relatives of other families to get out of the tent at this time, but it was impossible for Lu Shaoyun, who was still staying outside, to let none of the men who were still staying outside pass by them, while complaining helplessly, he chatted and leaned over to his wife's cheek and kissed lightly. "You're going to have to treat me well when you get home, you know?"
"As long as you eat a small number of meals, don't eat too much in one night, then even if I treat you a few more meals, I will be happy."
"I can't guarantee this, after all, when you are hungry, once you come across food, you can't stop it."
"......" was silent for a moment because of her husband's lack of shape, and then leaned her head into Xia Shuanghan, who was in Lu Shaoyun's neck socket, and sighed with a smile: "Forget it, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, since I chose you in the first place, then I can only tolerate you more in this regard." ”
"It's still a lady who is considerate." Lowering his head and breathing in the fragrance of his wife, Lu Shaoyun, who only felt that the life of having a wife and children was extremely happy, sighed with satisfaction: "Being able to marry you in this life is a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life, and I hope that in the next life, you and I can still be together." ”
"If there is really a next life, then I believe that I will still fall in love with you at the first time I see you." (To be continued.) )
