Chapter 142: The Past
Rong Wan nodded, she naturally understood what Mrs. Changping Hou said, and had already thought of it, so there was not much surprise on her face.
Mrs. Changping Hou glanced at her, and then continued, "Your reputation is not very loud among many noble women, if you want to be a female gentleman, this is not the best time. ”
Rong Wan nodded, she naturally knew what Mrs. Changping Hou said, and now most people in Bianjing City recognize her, but because of her fate with Meng Sheng, now that this fate is broken, what remains in people's hearts is only her who was divorced by Meng Sheng.
Therefore, she is not conspicuous, she is just a female gentleman, no one believes in her talent, and she will not achieve much, that is, even so, it will not help her now.
Changping Hou knew that Rong Wan was smart, so she didn't need to say these words, Rong Wan just understood what she meant, but now, she wanted to see how far a smart woman like Rong Wan could go.
Mrs. Changping Hou clasped her hands, as if she couldn't make up her mind, "What are your plans?" ”
Rong Wan lowered her eyes, and continued, "Now that the female school has just received the opinion of the saint, it will take some time to really set it up, but Ah Wan thinks that after the lady beats out the reputation of the female school, Ah Wan will also be qualified." ”
If you want to start a women's school, you need to prepare a lot, one is the venue, the second is the female gentleman who teaches, and the third is to make a name for yourself, just these three things will take some time.
Today's Rong Wan doesn't want to be an inconspicuous person anymore, therefore. Some names she has to come out.
Seeing Rong Wan say this, Mrs. Changping Hou didn't ask much, but said, "If you have faith, I will wait for your good news." This can be regarded as a promise to Rong Wan to leave her a gentleman's position, which can be regarded as her reward for proposing the idea of female study!
Mrs. Changping Hou's fingers in her sleeves rubbed slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and there was a matter of female studies. She no longer has to stay around the Hou Mansion to do nothing.
Rong Wan responded. And he withdrew.
After Rong Wan left, Mrs. Changping Hou did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the wing room, as if thinking about something. I want to be fascinated. Until two hours have passed. The Marquis of Changping returned from an errand.
Mama Xue, who followed Mrs. Marquis of Changping, was brought from the Xun Mansion and was her nurse, because her mother went early. Therefore, she is even more dependent on the nurse.
Mama Xue is old, her body is not very good, and she basically never goes out in the inner courtyard, so there are very few people who have seen her.
Mrs. Changping Hou was quiet and didn't like to be disturbed, Mama Xue saw that she had been staying in the wing room for a long time, and it happened that Changping Hou asked her when she came back, so she came to the wing room to look for her.
"Ma'am." When Mama Xue arrived in the wing room, she saw that Mrs. Changping Hou had empty eyes, so she knew that she was thinking about something, but remembering the expression of Changping Hou when she came, she still opened her mouth.
Mrs. Changping Hou was called by Mama Xue, and immediately came back to her senses, and when she saw that it was Mama Xue, her expression was relieved, but she was a little tired, "What's wrong?" ”
Mama Xue knew that she was tired, her eyebrows and eyes were distressed, although she wanted her to rest well, but now, she could only say what was in her heart, "Just now the Hou Ye asked where the lady was, and her face was not very good. ”
Changping Hou has always loved his wife, even if it is very uncomfortable outside, he will not bring a tired expression to his home, but he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and frowning can make the people around him very afraid.
And as long as Changping Hou frowned in front of her, it meant that the things in Changping Hou's heart had made him unable to control his emotions, and the last time he remembered it was ten years ago.
Hearing this, Mrs. Changping Hou was stunned, but after a while, she returned to normal, stood up indifferently, and said to Mama Xue, "Let's go!" ”
She concealed the things of these days, and she had long expected that the Marquis of Changping would know one day.
But if she said she was afraid, she hadn't been afraid.
From the moment she took over this proposal, she wanted to live a completely different life from all these years, but her husband did not approve, not only did not approve, but even disgusted it.
What he wanted to do most was to leave her at home and not run around.
Mrs. Changping Hou went to the main house, and she knew that Changping Hou would wait for her in the main house.
"Mama, you'll just wait outside for a while, don't go in." She said suddenly. Mama Xue, who was following her, naturally understood what she meant, and if she didn't say anything, she acquiesced.
When Mrs. Changping Hou entered the house, Changping Hou sat in the outer room, and when he saw her come in, his face was still full of anger.
The Marquis of Changping is a military general, he is middle-aged, his body is still burly, he fought abroad earlier, and he has already practiced the appearance of being able to scare tens of thousands of people with a dark face, but this is useless to Mrs. Marquis of Changping.
She walked up to him and sat down slowly, "Master Hou, what's wrong?" ”
A sentence was spoken, but his face was expressionless.
It is said in the world that the Marquis of Changping is the god of war, and Mrs. Marquis of Changping is a strange woman comparable to Ban Zhao.
Changping Hou is on the battlefield, if there is any unhappiness, most of them will vent it, and Mrs. Changping Hou has read poetry and books since she was a child, and her temperament is relatively quiet, but she will hide something in her heart.
is such two people, but they have become a couple, and they have three children, which is the envy of everyone.
It's just that the surface is just the appearance, but the inside is like a stranger who has known each other for many years but still doesn't know each other.
"Ah Mi, are you going to start a girls' school?" Although he stayed alone for a while, his heart had not been calm since he heard this, and even after all this time, the panic in his heart had intensified.
Mrs. Changping Hou's surname is Xun, her name is Mi, and she means tranquility, but she is the same as this name, but she is very quiet, and she never says more.
Mrs. Changping Hou nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty only agreed yesterday." ”
Now that the Marquis of Changping already knows, she naturally no longer hides it, and now that the matter has been concluded, no matter what, it will not change the result, even if she knows, what can she do?
A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase. What's more, the Holy One has personally agreed to this matter today, and if he says not to do it with the Holy One at this time, I am afraid that the Holy One will be even more angry.
After speaking, Changping Hou looked at her with a complicated expression, and a sense of desolation suddenly surged in his heart, and the unhappiness on his face collapsed, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”
When he entered the palace to see the saint today, he overheard it from the mouth of the saint, and his shock at that time can be imagined. I almost disregarded the Holy One. I wanted to see her and ask clearly, but fortunately, the saint saw that he was a little absent-minded, so he didn't stay longer and let him return.
But he didn't know. His wife lay beside him every night. Would you treat him like this? Why don't you consult with him?
Mrs. Changping Hou glanced at Changping Hou indifferently. The tone was still unwavering, "What about telling you?" It's just more obstruction. ”
Changping Hou was dumbfounded, indeed. If he heard her have this thought, he would definitely break this thought in the cradle in a panic.
For many years, he spent it from this panic, but now, his wife still hid it from him and put the matter on the surface, he suddenly felt that his strength was exhausted, and even the anger in the face of Mrs. Changping Hou disappeared.
"Mi, you miss him, right?" Changping Hou paused, but still asked.
He looked at her face, after so many years, she was still so cold, her hair was like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the snow of the wind, as if he had never smiled when facing himself, but he was very different from before, for example, his temper was even worse.
It's just that he's just too worried about losing her.
Mrs. Changping Hou glanced at him, just the glance that swept lightly, but it made the bitterness in Changping Hou's heart even worse, she had no mercy for him, even if she had three children, it was just an explanation to him.
Then he saw her slightly open her lips and said softly, "Is Master Hou even worried about the dead?" ”
This sentence, which was completely chilling, was extremely uncomfortable in the ears of Changping Hou, and he had not been so sad for a long time.
Yes, it was a dead man, who used to have flesh and blood, but now he is a white bone, and I don't know when, even this white bone will disappear.
But it is because of these white bones that he will always refuse to relax, he can't live, he can't die, and he will torture him until he ends.
Will he live like this for the rest of his life?
"Mi, you know, I didn't mean that." Changping Hou opened his mouth to explain, a little hesitant, he didn't want her to misunderstand him, but even if he explained thousands of times, this heart would never be warmed by him.
Mrs. Hou of Changping finally turned her head and looked at him fixedly, "Master Hou wants to stop my daughter's study?" ”
The eyes of Changping Hou met her, this look was not as indifferent as when he mentioned someone just now, although it was different from the mildness of the usual day, but it was not so cold after all.
When he came out of the palace, he wanted this, but when he mentioned that person at this time, the confidence in his heart was really a little insufficient, and then he looked at her eyes, and the words of opposition were still not spoken, and he said as if compromised, "I won't stop you, I know, you have always wanted to do it." ”
Although Mrs. Changping Hou didn't realize why Changping Hou didn't refuse, her heart was still a little trance, just because of his sentence, you have always wanted to do it.
Her thoughts seemed to fly to twenty-two years ago, when she was just in time.
Although her parents died young, she was very bright when she was young, she began to read and write at the age of three, and read the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of five.
At that time, the first emperor was still there, and the Great Zhou Dynasty had only existed for a few decades, with not many territories, and there were many small countries around, and the first emperor had ambitions to dominate the world, so wars broke out frequently.
When she grows up to the age of ten, poetry and songs, no longer talking, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also dabbling, for those of the same age, she has already left others firmly behind, and for fifteen or sixteen girls, compared to her, there are also many people.
She often flipped through the books in the eldest brother's study, and later after reading the books on weekdays, she would also read those obscure military books, but those military books were very interesting in her eyes, and she occasionally practiced in the sand table, and wanted to get in touch with actual combat.
Although the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and losing her life is a common thing, she still wants to go.
Because she lost her parents since she was a child, her brother was afraid that he would wronged her, and he doted on her very much, she asked many times, and her brother had no choice but to follow her, and he also arranged someone to protect her by her side.
even picked an extremely stable general for her.
And in those years, it was because of this young general that the surrounding small countries were destroyed one after another, and they were included in the territory of the Great Zhou, and she saw him for the first time at that time.
She thought that the person who could be a general must be a burly man with a fierce face, but what she saw that day was a man dressed in green clothes, standing quietly under the peach tree, and a look back made her see his appearance clearly.
Moderately thick eyebrows, calm eyes, straight nose, and slightly pursed lips.
Seeing him like this, her cheerful heart paused slightly, because in those eyes, she could clearly see that she couldn't see anything.
She couldn't see the sunny day, she couldn't see the joy and sorrow, but she felt a little cold all over, and in an instant, she felt that it was a person with a story.
Before she came to see him, she heard her brother mention it, saying that he had no father or mother, and was sent to the mountains to learn art when he was young, and when he returned, he was sent to the army for training, and in just one year, he became a general.
And after two years of fighting, there has never been a loss.
She admired such a character very much, so she also wanted to go to the army with him, and the brother seemed to be very relieved of him, and he was not afraid of any danger in the future after her follow.
She once asked her brother, why not be afraid? After all, as a daughter, she is full of men in the barracks, and she will not dare to go if she is another woman.
Her brother touched her head and smiled, "My Ah Mi is so smart, she will be fine." She thought that her brother praised her for being smart and was very happy, but unexpectedly, her brother answered again, "And with him, I can rest assured." ”
It turned out that it was because he was there.
In fact, she is also glad that he is there.
She was a little weak when she was young, and she also practiced with a martial arts master for a period of time, which was used to strengthen her body, which was much stronger than ordinary women, so although the life in the barracks was hard, she could still persevere.
What's more, because she can often see him and his lieutenant deduce the sand table, discuss the deployment of troops, and handle things very calmly, and his prestige in the army is very high.
She remembered that once he took over a group of soldiers, and the soldiers, seeing that although he was tall, he was a little thin, and he doubted his ability, and the average general would have made an example of chickens and monkeys, but he was wearing a thin shirt, and in that winter, he tried with those soldiers, and he was defeated ten times, and no one dared to talk behind his back that he was not burly enough.
For the first time, she followed him to serve in the army for two months, although she was used to living a comfortable life and was tired and miserable in the barracks, but she followed him to see the scenery of the west and felt very satisfied.
The only thing she didn't think was that she hadn't seen him laugh.
When he won the battle, he didn't see him, and he didn't smile when he returned to Beijing to report on his work and be promoted.
After those two months, she always wondered how she could make him smile, even if it was to hook the corners of his mouth.
Sometimes I think, if he smiles, with his good face, how can he be comparable to her?
But later I learned that she was arrogant, and it wasn't until she saw that smile that she knew what was a peerless elegance, and she was shocked, she was just a secular person, but he was like a fairy in the sky.
Just by looking at that glance, she knew that in this life, she didn't want to escape the shackles of love again. (To be continued.) )
