Chapter 174: New Year's Greetings
The atmosphere that the two of them deliberately maintained was suddenly broken by Shen Lan's words, Song Wenxiang showed a somewhat stunned look on his face, and he wanted to comfort Shen Lan but couldn't open his mouth, to say that the stone was also his child, how could he bear to let the child be injured, but such a refutation was only afraid that it would attract Shen Lan's greater resentment, so forget it.
"I'll go see if your medicine is soaked, and if so, I'll fry it for you." In the end, Song Wenxiang just opened his mouth like this.
Shen Lan, who was holding the stone, was also stunned, she didn't mean to sprinkle her anger on Song Wenxiang, but she didn't know why, she just said that word smoothly, at this time, since people gave her steps, she continued to stalemate, and it was not good for herself, so Shen Lan also took advantage of it.
"Well, the medicine is decoctioned, you come in, I will continue to measure you, and I will carry the stone to Xiangling for a while." Shen Lan also suppressed her anger and spoke in a steady tone.
Seeing this, Song Wenxiang didn't say anything, but opened the door and walked out, although it was dark, in fact, it was not late, so the others had not gone to rest, but sat in the hall and chatted, at this time Song Wenxiang came out, and couldn't help but be a little restrained.
"It's okay, I'll see if Lan Niang's medicine is decocted." Song Wenxiang reluctantly smiled and spoke.
"Uncle, Yan Niang is looking at it from the stove, and she will definitely bring it to his wife when it is fried." Xu replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Song Wenxiang nodded, or took a step towards the stove, and after a while, he heard Shen Lan shouting Xiangling in the house, Xiangling responded and hurriedly ran towards Shen Lan's house, and when she came into the house, Shen Lan told her to help bring the stone for a while, and she herself opened the box to rummage for fabrics, so Xiangling carried the stone out of the house.
When I entered the stove, I saw Yan Niang doing it next to the small stove, looking absent-minded, Song Wenxiang walked over, looked at the steaming medicine, and was alarmed Yan Niang hurriedly got up, and reluctantly opened her mouth and shouted: "Master." ”
Song Wenxiang glanced at her, only to see that her expression was unhappy, her face was full of sincerity and fear, and she couldn't help but say, "Are you okay?" ”
Yan Niang didn't think that anyone would care about her, and couldn't help but reddened her eyes for a while, it wasn't that there was anything wrong, but after being sent by Shen Lan like that, she suddenly got a care, and she felt aggrieved if she didn't feel wronged in her heart, but she still remembered her identity, although there were tears in her eyes, she didn't shed it, and replied patiently: "Thank you for your concern, the slave family is fine." ”
I don't know why looking at the forbearant Yan Niang, Song Wenxiang seemed to see the previous Shen Lan, his heart softened unconsciously, and he couldn't help but speak: "If you have something, tell me, don't endure it alone, it's you who endure and suffer, you know?" ”
This is also what he said to Shen Lan in the past, when he was still at home, sometimes he would see his own lady look unhappy, and he would always use such words to comfort her, usually at this time, Lan Niang would show a relieved smile, and then replied to him softly: "It's okay, Xianggong doesn't have to be a ** heart, I will try my best to be a good daughter-in-law in front of my mother." ”
Hearing this, Yan Niang felt that her nose was sour, no one had cared for her like this for a long time, and at this moment, when Song Wenxiang said this, she felt warm in her heart, and at the same time secretly spit on Shen Lan for having eyes and not knowing gold and jade, obviously the old man is so kind, she still thinks that she is angry with the old man and divorces his wife, she really doesn't know the blessing in the blessing, if she is her, she will definitely be very good to the master, just moved this thought, I couldn't help but speed up my heartbeat, and secretly glanced at Song Wenxiang, and I couldn't help but rejoice with astringency in my heart.
After saying that, Song Wenxiang bent down to check the medicine jar, so he didn't notice Yan Niang's reaction, he didn't hear Yan Niang's response, and he only didn't want to say it, after all, they were not very familiar people, and they were different from men and women, so he felt a little rude when he thought about it, so he fell silent.
"Master, I'd better come." Seeing Song Wenxiang stirring the medicine in the jar with chopsticks, Yan Niang, who came back to her senses, hurriedly spoke.
"It's okay, I'll watch here, you go outside and chat with them, it's not good to be bored here all the time." Song Wenxiang opened his mouth and said, in fact, he wanted to make up for the guilt in his heart by personally helping Shen Lan cook medicine, no matter what, Shen Lan would be slapped today, and the injury was because of him, if he didn't force Shen Lan to accompany him back to pay New Year's greetings, maybe there wouldn't be such a thing.
Yan Niang naturally refused to let Song Wenxiang do it, after all, this decoction is also rough work, where is it suitable for a big man to do it, let alone the master.
"Master, the slave family is a subordinate, and the slave family should do the rough work of helping the wife decoct medicine, if the master really wants to stay here, it is better to sit on the side, and the slave family will do the rest of the work." Saying that, Yan Niang snatched the chopsticks from Song Wenxiang's hand, and made up her mind not to let Song Wenxiang do it again.
The chopsticks were robbed, Song Wenxiang was embarrassed to grab something with a woman, so he had to get up and walk aside, but he had no intention of leaving, mainly because he had a quarrel with Shen Lan in the room just now, although Shen Lan told him to go back quickly, but he couldn't face Shen Lan without guilt at the moment, so he just waited here, so as not to enter the house The couple was relatively speechless.
Shen Lan waited for some time, but she didn't see Song Wenxiang come in, the fabrics were all selected, she couldn't cut them without measuring the size, she couldn't cut them, she couldn't make clothes if she couldn't cut them, the time was urgent, wasn't this a delay in time? What's more, her words before were a bit excessive, which must have hurt people's hearts, thinking of this, Shen Lan simply put the cloth aside, turned around and walked outside the house.
When I came out of the house, I saw Xu Feng taking Xiangling to sit in the hall and chat on the fire, so he said casually: "Be careful about the fire, it's best to open the door and don't pour water into the fire, otherwise it will be easy to be poisoned." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Xu Shi replied.
After thinking about it, she felt that it was not safe, so Shen Lan said to Xiangling: "You take the eldest prince to the room to nest in the quilt, and I will come to hug him after I take the medicine." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Xiangling answered, and immediately hugged the stone and went to the original Yan Niang's house.
Shen Lan walked towards the stove room, walked directly through the corridor between the hall and the stove, and found that Song Wenxiang was not the only one in the house, but also Yan Niang, I saw Yan Niang busy in front of the stove of decoction, and Song Wenxiang was sitting at the small dining table in the stove, and his fingers knocked on the table for a while.
"Xianggong, I'm still waiting to measure you." Shen Lan stood at the door and said loudly, hearing this voice, Song Wenxiang, who was sitting with his back to the door of the stove, stopped his movements and hurriedly turned around and said: "I plan to bring it to you when the medicine is ready, and besides, you are injured today, don't bother, it's better to take the medicine and rest early." ”
"Xianggong, even if I don't make clothes for you tonight, I will have to do it in the future, and I have to leave a size after all, besides, isn't there a wild goose girl here? What do you have to worry about. Shen Lan glanced at Yan Niang with a smile, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart, is this really for her or has ulterior motives?
Lonely men and widows don't shy away from being in the same room, I don't know if these two people really don't understand, or something else, but Shen Lan is not in the mood to care about their, for Song Wenxiang, Shen Lan is still stuck in the concept that this person is the original husband, although they have shared the same bed, but after all, they are all forced, in fact, Song Wenxiang is not good in Shen Lan's own impression, if he really has anything to do with other women, it will be very good for her.
"Yes, master, I am here, I will bring it to my wife when the medicine is ready, you don't have to worry." Yan Niang reluctantly smiled and spoke.
"So Xianggong should go back to the room with me." Shen Lan still smiled and spoke.
Song Wenxiang, who was originally a little resigned, saw that his wife came to invite him personally, and it was not good to take Qiao anymore, the reason why he was reluctant to go back to the room was because he was afraid that Shen Lan would be yin and yang again, and men were often unwilling to face women who lost their temper even if they did something wrong, so he avoided the house under the pretext of decoction.
"Oh, let's go back, then." Song Wenxiang came down the steps, and after all, he couldn't really contradict his mother.
So the two went hand in hand, leaving Yan Niang alone in the stove room to decoct the medicine, and sighed faintly and continued to decoction.
After returning to the house, Shen Lan helped Song Wenxiang measure the size, Shen Lan walked to the desk and pulled out a blank piece of paper, took the pen and ink and recorded it one by one, seeing Shen Lan's series of actions, Song Wenxiang was stunned all of a sudden, he remembered that his own lady could not write, in fact, he himself was illiterate, and he was able to become a colonel and captain completely because he was brave in killing the enemy on the battlefield and killing more people, so at this moment, he was shocked to see that Shen Lan could write.
"Lan ...... Mother, when did you learn to write? Song Wenxiang stammered and asked.
"What happened the other day?" Shen Lan, who lowered her head and wrote, didn't see Song Wenxiang's face entangled, but just replied casually.
"That's fine, you can write me a letter to my family in the future." Song Wenxiang struggled for a long time before such a sentence came out.
The recorded paper was pressed with paper, and the brush was put away, Shen Lan turned around and went to cut Song Wenxiang's clothes, Song Wenxiang groped and walked to the desk, and couldn't help but secretly look at the words written by Shen Lan, Shen Lan has not practiced calligraphy for a long time, so the words written are really not very visible, but for Song Wenxiang, who is completely illiterate, this is already very remarkable, and suddenly there was a feeling of self-shame in his heart, it seems that he can't just think about fighting in the future, but also learn to read and write, Otherwise, one day I won't be worthy of Lan Niang.
So under Shen Lan's unconscious blow, Song Wenxiang decided to go back to the army to be literate and read, and because of such a decision, his development in the army was more rapid, the original trajectory of fate was to take him ten years to achieve the status of a guerrilla general, and later because he in addition to marching and fighting, he also asked his colleagues for teaching, learned to read and read, and then studied the military book to learn the art of war in the army, so as to change his fate and rise rapidly in the army.
After Yan Niang brought the medicine over, Shen Lan picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then handed the bowl to her, turned back to Song Wenxiang and said, "Xianggong, you first warm up the quilt, and I'll go and come back to sleep with a stone." ”
Song Wenxiang, who got the order, took off his clothes and climbed into bed, obediently covering the quilt for his wife and children, when Shen Lan brought the stone back, the quilt was no longer cold, Shen Lan directly stuffed the stone to Song Wenxiang, and she took a needle and thread and began to sew clothes, she slept a lot during the day, and now she is not sleepy, so she plans to sew as much as she can, if Song Wenxiang falls asleep, she will go into the space to make the clothes, so that the day after tomorrow Song Wenxiang can leave home with a little thought.
The next day, almost everything was prepared, it was still Shen Changhai who drove the carriage, dragging Shen Lan's family of three and Xiangling to Linchun Village, as soon as he arrived at the door, Shen Hailing set off a big firecracker, and it took a long time to stop, yesterday the Shen family sisters and brothers did go to relatives, so there were only old couples in the family, and today it was a family gathering, of course, except for the boss who was a soldier outside and Shen Lian, who ran away from home, everyone else was at home.
"Eldest sister, brother-in-law, I heard my father say that my brother-in-law is back yesterday, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect my brother-in-law to really come back, great, is it not going to leave this time?" Shen Hailing saw Song Wenxiang coming out of the carriage, and immediately opened his mouth with a bright smile on his face.
Song Wenxiang shook his head and replied: "I will return to the army tomorrow, and your sister will have to ask you and your father to take care of it more in the future." ”
"Brother-in-law, where is this, that's my eldest sister." After saying the whole thing, he turned back to look at Shen Lan, and immediately touched the gauze on Shen Lan's forehead, the smile on his face froze suddenly, and he immediately asked anxiously: "Eldest sister, what's the matter with your head?" ”
was talking to Shen Hailing, Song Wenxiang couldn't help but look a little embarrassed when he heard this, Shen Lan got out of the carriage, looked at his younger brother funny, and replied softly: "It's okay, I didn't want to knock down, don't make a fuss." ”
"Eldest sister, why don't you be careful, I hurt my head just after the New Year, and I asked my mother to go to the temple to ask for a peace charm for you." Shen Hailing couldn't help but say worriedly, and looked at Shen Lan carefully, and found that Shen Lan only had gauze wrapped around her forehead, and there was no major problem in other places, so she was relieved.
"You, you are all scholars and still believe in these, didn't the saint say that he was silent and confused? I just don't have the heart to ask for something. Seeing that Shen Hailing was indeed worried about himself, Shen Lan nodded Shen Hailing's head with a smile, and Shen Hailing immediately replied with a straight face: "Eldest sister, I'd rather believe it than not, besides, it's just to burn incense, and it is also appropriate to ask for peace of mind." ”
Shen Lan wanted to say something, but heard Song Wenxiang also follow: "Lan Niang, Hailing said the same, we didn't even go to the temple this year, or when I have time to let my mother take you to the temple to worship, even if you don't believe it, you can settle down." ”
Shen Lan naturally wouldn't refute Song Wenxiang outside, so she replied meekly with a smile: "Xianggong, I listen to you, and I will go to the temple with my mother one day to worship." ”R1152
