Chapter Eighty-Three: The Feast of the Hung Gate
Qingjia didn't know why she just felt as if she had been drained of her strength, lying on the wooden table weakly, her head resting on her arms, tilting her head, as if this was the only way to calm her frantic heart and the question marks that almost burst her head. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It turns out that they are not really husband and wife......
Why......
Qingjia fell into an unprecedented panic, how ridiculous, they have been married for more than five years, but they are just not worthy of the name.
At this moment, she was confused, at a loss, lost, and terrified.
……
When Chen Wei returned to the palace, the housekeeper dutifully informed Qingjia that he had returned from the palace.
“…… After the lady returned, she stayed in the study for a while, and then went to the storeroom, and has not come out yet. ”
Chen Wei nodded lightly, but he couldn't see his joy or anger, but for no reason, people felt that the gloom between his eyebrows had dissipated a little in the past few days.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and sure enough, when Madame was still there, the general looked more approachable.
No wonder everyone is so frightened, Chen Wei has been fighting for many years, and he has a heavy killing spirit, even if he doesn't say a word, just standing there makes people feel a kind of compelling pressure. These subordinates were all rewarded by the emperor after the general's mansion was built, and most of them had served in the palace before, where had they served such a master, when they thought that the person in front of them was the king of the battlefield who had killed countless people, they were very afraid in their hearts, and they were even more cautious in doing things.
But after getting along for a long time, the next person also knows some of his temperament, and understands that this is actually a quiet and silent master, but only when facing his wife, he is extraordinarily gentle, the two are not sweet and greasy on weekdays, but they are no different from ordinary couples, but it is so strange, the strong anger on his body can be easily resolved as long as he meets the general's wife, or it is deliberately restrained and suppressed.
Everyone knows that although the general is silent and quiet, he is gentle and tolerant of his wife, and he will respond to the decisions of all the ladies in the palace, which shows that his pampering heart is overflowing.
I don't want Mrs. to be absent from the mansion these days, leaving the general alone, the general's face is getting worse and worse day by day, although Chen Wei treats his subordinates leniently and is not harsh, but how can the majesty of leading troops for many years not make people frightened.
Fortunately, now that Madame has finally returned, everything can return to normal.
Everyone secretly claimed that they were fortunate that the resentment in this mansion could finally dissipate somewhat, God knows how frightened they were, and the wooden stakes in the martial arts arena had already been split many times by the general's sword!
Chen Wei didn't have any joy on his face, and even sneered in his heart, heh, you still know where your home is! I'm afraid that in a few more ****, no one will even remember his surname!
I was in a bad mood, and I didn't even open my mouth very much recently, although I said that, but my footsteps still walked involuntarily in the direction where the warehouse was located.
What did this little woman do in the storeroom as soon as she came back, and really think of herself as a mouse?
Chen Wei walked to the door of the warehouse, and was about to push the door in but found that the door was locked from the inside out, which made him raise his eyebrows, what needs to be so mysterious.
I wanted to knock on the door, but for some reason I was curious, I didn't know what this little woman was doing inside, he suddenly went in and scared her hard, who let her leave her husband away from home for so long, is the palace so good? Can't miss it, huh?
Thinking of this, the rare Chen Wei also had the heart of teasing, and carried the internal force to stick to the gap in the middle of the warehouse door, and broke the door bolt made of stainless steel inside with a light palm.
As soon as he pushed the door again, there was no hindrance, and Chen Wei easily entered the warehouse.
Chen Wei is naturally no stranger to this place, and almost everything here has been rebuilt according to his orders. It has been expanded almost twice as much on the original basis, so it is very spacious, in addition to the various gold, silver and jewelry rewarded by the emperor, there are many magic weapons, a few months ago, Wei Zhang asked him to return the Chen Wei foreign property he had occupied, including several sharp blades.
The Chen family used to be a deep-rooted wealthy family in Huadu, and there were many capable people in the clan, both civil and military, from the famous Biyuan, to the Xuanxiao of the sword roaring Kyushu, all of them were ranked on the Chen family's weapon spectrum.
Therefore, the treasures in the treasury are really all-inclusive, as for the ones rewarded by the emperor, they are just placed on the ground in the box at random, and Chen Wei didn't even open the box to take a look.
The Chen family's foundation has been precipitated for hundreds of years, where is the production of the internal affairs government of these districts can be compared, and it can be said that if it is rich and rivals the country.
However, Chen Wei grew up in a family, and he was used to eating and drinking fine clothes since he was a child, and his concept of money was very weak. Only Qingjia, he cherishes it like a treasure, loves it like a life, and the rest is like a floating cloud, not in proportion.
Therefore, since Qingjia came back, he handed over everything in the house to Qingjia for safekeeping, and the key to this treasury has always been in his hands, and the housekeeper is only in charge of the rest of the affairs in the mansion, and he has never entered the door of this treasury.
Chen Wei entered quietly, and happened to see Qingjia sitting on the ground, looking at the treasures in his hand in amazement, and the pearls and jade in front of him were scattered all over the ground.
She was fascinated, picked up this and looked at that, which one was hard to give up, she couldn't put it down, she was going to pick her eyes, okay!
Chen Wei approached softly, without any movement, sneaked until she stretched out his hand and hugged her, so startled that Qingjia screamed, and his heart was about to jump out!
"Click-"
The pearl in Qingjia's hand fell to the ground, so frightened that she hurriedly broke away from him, squatted on the ground and looked around, but was pulled by Chen Wei.
Qingjia was shocked and hammered him: "Oh, what are you doing, what kind of demon are you doing, how good can it be if something is broken!" You can't afford to lose if you sell it! ”
She blamed him as she looked left and right, but the bead disappeared like a ginseng fruit.
Chen Wei held her little fist and took a bite lightly, and with a strong wind swept through her fingertips, several candles in the warehouse were instantly extinguished, and the room was suddenly out of light.
At this time, Qing Jia noticed that there was a slight fluorescence not far from their feet, which was very soft, which was extremely obvious in this darkness, and if you looked closely, it was not the bead that fell by mistake just now.
Qing Jia didn't care about scolding him now, so he quickly picked it up, at this time Chen Wei had already lit the candle in the room again, Qing Jia quickly looked at it but found that there were already a few fine cracks on the surface of the beads.
This time he stabbed the hornet's nest, Qingjia was so angry that he couldn't speak, just pointed at him: "You...... You ......"
The fingertips trembled, and he couldn't understand the words, which showed that he was angry.
Chen Wei didn't want to make her angry because of a joke, so he hurriedly appeased her, and finally said: "It's just an ordinary thing, it's not worth anything, I remember that there are a few more such beads, and I'll find them for you to play with in the future." He touched her head: "As for this, you can put it in the room, it has the effect of calming the mind and calming the nerves, and can cure the disease of restless sleep at night." ”
Qingjia was still distressed, carefully put things away, turned around and went out, ignoring him.
Chen Wei touched his nose and followed her, not thinking that he had just returned to the room for a while, and the housekeeper sent a greeting post, saying that it was sent by the Lu Mansion, and Lu Yi personally wrote it and invited them to go to the mansion for a gathering.
Qingjia instantly became flustered, but Chen Wei held her hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, everything has me." ”
Qing Jia smiled when he heard this, looked at him with a stubborn expression: "What am I afraid of, it's not that I'm sorry for them." ”
She tried her best to look calm and calm, but the timidity in her eyes was distressing, and it was undeniable that although the Lu Mansion had never treated her badly, she didn't like it there at all.
Lu Yi's ignorance, Mrs. Lu's indifference, Lu Qingyu's inferiority complex under the original brilliance, everything was like a nightmare, suffocating her.
Coupled with the fact that this has happened now, can she still get along with them?
Qingjia no longer expects that she can have loving parents and caring sisters, but even so, she still has no resentment at all.
She only needs Chen Wei, she is not greedy at all, as long as he is fine.
Why do they want to deprive themselves of what they have?
She's only him!
I can't imagine my life without him, I have been in the dust all the way over the years, how many times I have escaped death, how many times between life and death, what makes her persist is nothing more than that one day the two of them can stay together.
It doesn't matter if it's glorious and rich, it doesn't matter if it's a supreme minister, and it doesn't matter if it's grandiose and prominent.
As long as you are by my side, even if you spend your life in that silent and nameless mountain village, then I am willing.
Seeing that her face was pale, Chen Wei hurriedly held her shoulder, hugged her into his arms, and continued to comfort: "Jiajia, don't think about it too much, if you don't like them, it's good to have less contact in the future......"
Qingjia realized that her emotions were almost out of control, and at this time, her defense line was also very fragile, so she couldn't help hugging Chen Wei back, and her tone was both confused and sad: "I don't understand, even if there is a difference between the dignity and inferiority, but they are all taking care of their children, why is this heart biased to the squeaky nest......"
This is not right, if it is eccentric, the premise should also be in your heart, at this moment, Qingjia is not allowed to admit it, not to mention Mrs. Lu, even her biological father has never taken himself to heart.
Not a single bit.
Chen Wei was also sad when he heard this, and he was about to comfort him, but he saw Qingjia's eyes and said firmly: "If I have a child in the future, I will definitely not treat it so partially, it will chill people's hearts!" ”
Chen Wei couldn't help laughing, his heart softened a little, and he echoed: "Okay, my Jiajia is the most fair, and he will definitely not do such a favoritism!" ”
Qing Jia listened to his casual response, and almost asked the doubts in his heart.
Even so, then why......
After all, he didn't have the face to ask such a question, Qingjia could only press it temporarily, not in a hurry, there would always be a day when the truth came out.
The two stayed quietly in the room for a while, and Qingjia kicked Chen Wei out, and then called the maid to make up for him.
Qingjia's complexion is excellent, even if she doesn't apply powder, she has a beautiful charm, which makes people look like a spring breeze and can't take their eyes off it. At this moment, she has the heart to dress up, just swipe her eyebrows, the slight point of her lips is already very bright, and the maid is also very happy to see it, open the jewelry box, and face all kinds of precious jewelry inside, and have no way to start: "Madame......"
Qing Jia wanted to use a golden phoenix with beads to shake her hair, but she didn't want to move, so she opened another thick and luxurious red sandalwood carved dot emerald long box, in which lay a delicate white jade phoenix hairpin, which was the one that Chen's mother gave her at the beginning.
……
Before leaving, Qingjia went to the treasury to pick out some gifts, and then went to the Lu Mansion with Chen Wei, which was only one street away.
Speaking of which, this is the first time she has been accompanied by her husband to her parents' house after she got married.
However, hundreds of meters away, the two did not drive, but just held hands and walked unhurriedly on the street, followed by the little girl and the maid holding gifts, so that from a distance, the two of them looked like a couple who were idle and strolling on the street.
Both of them are extremely good-looking, and all the pedestrians on the street stop to pay attention, and in a trance, Qingjia seems to have returned to the scene when she first married Chen Wei five years ago, and the two of them also walked on the streets of Yixian County like this.
Qingjia couldn't help but think that if life could end on that day, it would be unbelievable fulfillment.
It's just that the memories are too beautiful, the time is too short, and the two of them have already arrived in front of the Lu Mansion in a moment.
Probably Lu Yi ordered, this time it was the housekeeper who personally greeted him at the door, Qingjia is the second lady of the Lu Mansion, even if it is the identity of the concubine, Chen Wei is the aunt of the Lu Mansion.
Besides, Chen Wei's identity is different now, but he is a high-ranking and powerful general with outstanding military achievements in the current dynasty, and he is no longer the young son of the down-and-out family back then, so the etiquette should naturally be more cautious.
After all, Lu Yi is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
"Welcome to the second miss, my uncle is back home, my lord is already waiting in the guest hall, please come with me."
The housekeeper led the way for the two of them in front, if it was an ordinary family, it would be a happy event for the married daughter to come back with her husband, but today's turn, Qingjia's mood was far less excited, presumably Lu Yi and Mrs. Lu were the same.
Thinking of having to deal with Mrs. Lu later, Qingjia was depressed, where is this going back to her parents' house This is simply a Hongmen banquet, maybe something unsatisfactory will happen.
Thinking like this, the person had already arrived in front of the guest hall, Chen Wei took Qingjia's hand and shook it slightly, even if he didn't say a word, he could feel his comfort.
Qingjia's originally troubled mind calmed down for no reason, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
This scene in the eyes of Mrs. Lu is really dazzling!
Chen Wei took Qingjia to greet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and Qingjia's superficial etiquette was also very good, and no one could make a mistake.
As soon as the four of them sat down, Qing Jia noticed that Mrs. Lu's eyes looking at her were not the contempt and indifference she had at the beginning, but full of resentment.
Qing Jia's heart jumped suddenly, but she was not stage frightened, she looked straight back at the past, Mrs. Lu's eyes were even sharper when she saw this, when did the wild girl who was only in front of her dare to look at herself so fearlessly!?
Did you really underestimate her?
The eyes of the two intertwined in the air, even if they were silent, they were bloodless.
What Qingjia thinks is that now she has already married into the Chen family, and now she is also in charge of a mansion, which is the so-called marriage and husband. Although Mrs. Lu is the nominal mother-in-law, but they hate each other, and now she still wants to marry her widowed daughter to her husband, if her plan succeeds, then don't say that even if the Chen family in this Lu Mansion has no place for itself, its intentions can not be described as vicious.
It was simply not the slightest bit of self-awareness, which made Qingjia how could he swallow this breath.
Really treat her as a bun, and let others handle it!?
Mrs. Lu was full of resentment towards her, a few days ago Lu Yi came back and said that the marriage contract was abandoned, Qingyu was angry and fell ill, and now she is lying in bed and can't get out. Seeing that her daughter had become haggard like that in just a few days, how could Mrs. Lu not hate.
Why, do you think that Chen Wei will become a general and fly on the branches?
The children born of sluts are also lowly, no matter how much the pheasant jumps, it can't become a phoenix, don't believe it, let's look at each other slowly, and the future will be long.
Lu Qingjia, the pain you inflicted on my daughter today, he will repay it tenfold every day. (To be continued.) )
