Chapter 349: Parting
In the next three days, Chen Yuanzhao stayed in the house to accompany Xu Jinyu, and he never left him. It's envious to watch. Especially the Yuan family, who was secretly gritting his teeth with envy.
Time flies, and three days pass in a blink of an eye.
Chen Yuanzhao quietly left the barracks in the middle of the night.
Before leaving, Chen Yuanzhao stood on the side of the bed and stared at the sleeping Xu Jinyu for a long time. Then he leaned down and kissed her on the lips. Forced himself to turn around and strode away.
After the door was gently closed, Xu Jinyu opened her eyes, tears quietly slipping down.
Chen Yuanzhao didn't want to say goodbye to her in person, and she didn't want to cry when he left.
Chen Yuanzhao, I hope you can taste what you wish and return safely!
The night was extraordinarily long.
In the Shi'an Hall, Ye was lying on the bed, his eyes unconsciously falling on the gauze tent.
After so many years, she has become accustomed to the loneliness of long nights, to tossing and turning in the middle of the night, and to the wandering of her thoughts. Before I knew it, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye got up as usual. Even the personal maid didn't notice anything unusual about her, only felt that Ye's face was a little dark.
"Pearl, apply some fat powder for me to make my complexion look better." Ye Shi commanded lightly.
The pearl responded submissively.
Ye is a stunning beauty in the city, and although she is over forty years old now, she does not look old at all. Emei is lightly swept, red lips are lightly touched, and wearing gorgeous clothes and beautiful clothes is still amazing.
No one could see that Ye had wept silently and stayed awake all night.
After Ye finished dressing up, he ate a few bites of breakfast casually. Soon. Then the stewards of the house came, and began to report on the trivial matters for which they were responsible. Ye Shi listened seemingly casually, occasionally asking a few words. The stewards who were questioned were all trembling and cautious, lest any mistakes be caught by the Ye family.
After dealing with these trivial matters, it is already an hour later.
The Ye family was idle and went to Moyuanju again.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met every day, and gradually became acquainted, and they began to be intimate and casual than one of them. Ye didn't let anyone pass it on, so he stepped into Xu Jinyu's house.
Xu Jinyu was standing by the window. Looking in the direction of the city gate.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Xu Jinyu woke up suddenly, and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. Only then did he turn around: "Mother-in-law, you are here." ”
His eyes were slightly red, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes.
Ye Shi saw it in his eyes, and his tone unconsciously softened a lot: "Jin Niang." Yuan Zhao should have set off by now. ”
Xu Jinyu hummed lowly. In front of Chen Yuanzhao. She never expressed any grief and reluctance. It wasn't until the day Chen Yuanzhao left that she let herself cry.
Looking at Ye Shi carefully, although he carefully applied fat powder, he couldn't hide the red and swollen eyes.
Obviously, Ye didn't sleep well last night.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other, quite a bit of sympathy, and the distance between them quickly narrowed a lot.
"As a military general, Yuan Zhao is indispensable to lead troops to fight." Ye gently comforted Xu Jinyu: "It is inevitable that I will be a little uncomfortable at first. You'll get used to it later. And don't cry, lest you hurt the child in your womb. ”
Xu Jinyu cheered up. Yes.
Ye Shi said again: "You are still short in pregnancy, so it is not suitable to run around in a carriage. After the third trimester of pregnancy, you can go back to your parents' house for a few days. ”
Ye took the initiative to let her go back to her parents' house to live?
Xu Jinyu was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly responded: "Thank you, mother-in-law." ”
"Family, don't thank you for coming and going." Ye Shi said with a pleasant face: "Before Yuan Zhao leaves, entrust you to me, and I will take good care of you." If there's anything you want, just tell me, don't be embarrassed. ”
Xu Jinyu responded softly.
Ye had to ask Xu Jinyu about Xu Jinyu's physical condition every day, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gossiped with each other, because the sadness of Chen Yuanzhao leaving the capital quietly dissipated a lot
After Chen Yuanzhao left, the days passed slowly.
Yip's care for Xu Jinyu is very careful. After the Yuan family was warned by the Ye family, he was really much more honest and never came to Mo Yuanju to walk around.
When the pregnancy reached the end of three months, Xu Jinyu received Chen Yuanzhao's first letter home.
There are still only a few sentences, and the words are very concise.
Ah Yu, it's been a month since the army set out. Marching every day, monotonous and boring. I've been thinking about you in my heart, but I wonder how your body is lately? Is morning sickness still severe? Looking forward to the letter.
All the thoughts are condensed in the short words "looking forward to the letter".
Xu Jinyu reluctantly read the letter over and over again, and then wrote a reply.
The messenger came from Chen Yuanzhao's personal soldiers, who rushed all the way back to the Anguo Mansion in the capital, rested for only one night, and left the capital the next day with Xu Jinyu's reply.
After three months of pregnancy, Xu Jinyu had no morning sickness reaction, and the fetal appearance stabilized, so she began to move her mind and planned to go back to her parents' house to live for a few days.
After Xu Zheng got the news, he was very happy in his heart, and he came to pick her up in person.
"Big brother!" The brother and sister haven't seen each other for more than a month, and they are very affectionate when they meet at this time: "Why did you come here in person, don't you have to be on duty today?" ”
Xu Zheng has been in the Hanlin Academy for a year, and he has not had any serious errands, and he has been completely idle.
Xu Zheng's career is unambitious, his ambition is difficult to reward, and he is depressed. However, he has always concealed this emotion very well, and smiled casually: "There are so many people in the Hanlin Academy doing things, it doesn't hurt to be missing me." It's rare that you can go home for a while, so I specially took a few days off to accompany you. ”
Xu Zheng said it lightly, how could Xu Jinyu not know his embarrassing situation. However, Xu Zheng didn't want to mention it, so she wouldn't ask more, so as not to embarrass her brother.
Xu Jinyu winked playfully: "I knew that you were willing to take leave to accompany me, so I told my mother-in-law that I would live in my mother's house for half a year." ”
Xu Zheng was amused, and rubbed Xu Jinyu's hair as before: "In your own home, you can live as long as you want." ”
Xu Jinyu looked at Xu Zheng's hearty smiling face, and secretly thought in her heart that if Chen Yuanzhao's wish was granted, it would also be a good thing for Xu Zheng.
At that time, no one would dare to underestimate Xu Zheng, and no one would dare to snub him idle
"Sister, why do you keep staring at me and not talking?" Xu Zheng asked half-jokingly, "Could it be that you are thinking about something important?" ”
Xu Jinyu didn't tell the truth, and smiled perfunctorily: "It's nothing, it's just a moment of distraction." Early Summer and Rue have already packed their luggage, so let's not delay and leave now. I arrived home just in time for noon! ”
Xu Zheng did not doubt that he had him, and immediately responded with a smile. (To be continued......)
