Chapter 139: It's Different
Lao Zhongyigong looked at Rong Xue's delicate face, and sighed in his heart. Everything in the snow was just according to etiquette, and there were no words.
Everything is Mu Li Gongzi and Lao Zhongyigong, as well as Lao Zhongyigong's subordinates.
After three rounds of drinking, the old loyal and righteous prince said a word to Mu Li Gongzi: "Mu Li Gongzi, I have a reluctant request." Thank you for your understanding. ”
For Mu Li Gongzi, Lao Zhongyi Gong is the biological father of his brother-in-law, the Guogong of Dachu, the leader of the Nanyang Army, and the person who has made outstanding contributions to his cause, so he is naturally very respected.
Master Mu Li hurriedly said: "Loyalty, please speak." ”
Lao Zhongyi said: "I want to borrow a place to have a chat with Mrs. Zun alone." ”
The people of southern Xinjiang have a cheerful temperament, and they do not have as many men and women as Da Chu, just look at the leader of southern Xinjiang is the queen. If it was an ordinary person who made this request, Mu Li Gongzi must have agreed without any doubts. In fact, his wife has been in southern Xinjiang for so many years, and she often sees men, because she has to take care of business, so she naturally meets all kinds of people.
However, the old loyal and righteous man is an exception. The relationship between Lao Zhongyigong and his wife is very complicated, Lao Zhongyigong is the biological father of his wife's only brother, but he is not her father. Her father was an unsung mountain dweller. However, her mother used to be the concubine of the old loyal and righteous father.
Moreover, the wife of the old loyal and righteous father is the murderer of his wife's parents. So, the relationship is too complicated. Mu Li Gongzi didn't dare to be the master, he looked at Langxue with some embarrassment.
It was not at all strange that she was snowing, and there was no excitement in her beautiful eyes. She stood up gently and said, "Okay." Let's go and sit in the pavilion next to us. ”
After speaking, he didn't let Lao Zhongyi go first, so he took the maids out of the hall and walked to the edge of the small pavilion next to him. Next to this hall, this pavilion is a four-corner pavilion made of bamboo, with bamboo tables and chairs, and there are no walls around it. From the lobby you can see everything about the gazebo. However, because of the distance, I couldn't hear the voices in the gazebo.
Lang Xue sat in the pavilion, and naturally there were maids, busy coming up to place the tea set. Boil water to make tea.
Lao Zhongyi was stunned for a moment. Confessed. So he went out and went into the gazebo.
Everyone in the hall here was stunned for a moment, and Mu Li Gongzi hurriedly said: "Let's continue, I will take our Bai warriors to toast the warriors of the Nanyang Army." ”
The atmosphere in the hall was warm again.
This way. Avoiding the noise, the old loyal and righteous man sat in the gazebo. A gust of wind blows, and the winds in the South Seas are warm, humid and hot, and with the wind comes a burst of floral fragrance.
Although the pavilion is still under construction, a small flower garden has been built around the pavilion to separate it from the hall. At this moment, many fragrant flowers unique to the South Seas have bloomed in the flower garden, and the wind brings the sweet fragrance of these flowers.
Lao Zhongyi sat in such a wonderful environment, and he was not in the mood to relax. He looked at the familiar face with some heaviness and some complexity.
Those delicate eyebrows and eyes have appeared in his dreams countless times. He thought that he had been separated forever, but he didn't expect that one day more than ten years ago, he saw this beautiful face again.
At that time, how shocked he was. However, on this beautiful and familiar face, he saw a different expression. Decades ago, the expression was so weak, so innocent, so kind, so affectionate, so trusting, and so hopeful. That face was the face of his lover. It is the face of Chongyi's biological mother, and it is also the face of the mother of the county lord of Wen'an sitting in front of her.
The face I saw more than ten years ago was so frightened, so flashy, so heavy makeup, and so vulgar. This disappointed him and led him to discover a huge and amazing truth. The face was no longer the face of his lover, but the face of her daughter. What disappointed him even more was that this daughter was not his daughter, but his lover and the child of another man. Although at that time, she was forced to give birth to this child with another man, but the old Zhongyi Gong was still angry. So, he hated this new face.
Now he sees this beautiful face again, still the same familiar eyebrows and eyes, but it is more refined, more beautiful, no more vulgar, replaced by grace and luxury, noble and generous, and thousands of manners, which was not in the snow in the past, and his lover did not have. It can be said that Rongxue is more beautiful than her mother, because there is no sorrow, no melancholy, no caution on her face. Some are infinitely beautiful, powerful, and happy. She is much happier than her mother.
Her mother was just a small lowly concubine. What about her? She is the sister of Zhao Chongyi, the noble son of Great Chu, the sister-in-law of the county lord of Wenhui, the county lord of the Great Chu Emperor, and the wife of the prince of Muli of the Bai nationality in southern Xinjiang. A brand new Bai clan.
She is a powerful person in Dachu and the first beauty in the capital. In southern Xinjiang, he is the lord of Dachu with a staggering dowry admired by the entire aristocratic class in southern Xinjiang, a powerful man who turns his hands into clouds and rain, a leader who influences the business community of the entire city of Guangzhou, and a person who gathers wealth. Now she is in Nanyang, she is the builder of the city, the manager of the city, and the indispensable helper of her husband.
There is a world of difference between Lang Xue and the person in the memory of the old loyal and righteous father.
Old Zhongyi sighed heavily.
Looking at the old loyal and righteous man who had gray temples, Lang Xue was also emotional. This man is the real owner of her mother, the husband of her mother, and the person who caused her tragic fate in her early years, she hates this person, but she thinks that later, the warmth of her brother and sister-in-law, she gradually diluted this hatred, and now, she has attributed everything to fate, and she has long seen it and looked down on it.
The tea has been brewed three times, and the taste has faded, but the old Zhongyi Gong has not yet spoken. Rong Xue didn't speak, just waited quietly.
Mu Li, who organized everyone to drink in the hall, would also glance at the two people in the pavilion from time to time, although he couldn't hear anything, but Mu Li Gongzi clearly saw that until this time, the two people did not speak. Mu Li Gongzi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After half a salary, Lao Zhongyi finally spoke: "I'm sorry for you. ”
Rong Xue was silent for a moment and said, "It has nothing to do with you, you don't have to apologize." ”
The old loyal and righteous man said: "Although your mother is not my order, it is always because of me. Your father, I'm even more sorry, it was my wife's hand, and naturally I am also responsible. ”
Lang Xue was silent for a moment and said, "Those are your wife's affairs, and they have nothing to do with you." ”
The old loyal and righteous prince said: "And you, I am ashamed of you, especially your experience of suffering when you were young. Although your brother also has no biological mother, he still has my father. Although his mother-in-law was embarrassed, under my protection, he did not suffer any grievances, and he has always lived the life of a son and brother who is free and easy. However, you are different, you have not only lost your mother, but also your father, and even when you go to that kind of place, you have suffered for so many years, and in the end you almost made a big mistake. I've always felt guilty about that. ”
Rong Xue was not silent this time, she said, "I don't have anything myself." At that time, it was very bitter, very bitter, but I suffered for more than ten years, but now I have enjoyed it for more than ten years. It's worth it. In the future, I believe that I have a better future, and when our territory is established, my brother and sister-in-law will also return to Nanyang, our relatives will be reunited, and my children will be able to meet their uncles and aunts who have not met each other but received gifts, and this is already a happy future. So, I don't have anything. ”
"I used to resent you, hated you, hated everyone in the Zhao family except my brother. The lady who hates you the most. However, my brother and sister-in-law said that it was already a grievance of the previous generation, that is, my mother was alive, and she must also hope that I would live a better life, instead of asking me to avenge her. Now, my brother and I are doing well, we have our own territory, and our children and grandchildren will be fine in the future. Compared to Mrs. Zhao, my mother is the winner. So, I'm not resentful anymore. ”
The old loyal and righteous man was silent. He said, "You are as good as your mother." No, you are stronger than your mother. Your mother is so weak, so kind, so helpless. But you're different, you're strong, capable, smart. Except for your beauty, you don't have anything in common. ”
Lang Xue raised her beautiful head and said, "Once, I envied your daughter Zhao Yufei, she is the proud daughter of the sky, and I am the mud." However, my sister-in-law and brother told me that they would help me and make me a strong person, a smart person, a capable person, and a happy person. Now that I've done it, I'll be the lady of the city lord of White City in the future, and my children and grandchildren will keep this foundation, and we've created a new family. However, what about your daughter Zhao Yufei, she is just a lady of Da Chu Xungui, and she is not very happy when she hears about it. We are now the same as mud. So, don't apologize to me. ”
Lao Zhongyi didn't speak, took a deep look at Langxue again, stood up and said, "Lord Wen'an, thank you for your tea." ”
Lang Xue also stood up, with a good demeanor, as if she was a natural nobleman, she bowed with standard palace rules and said, "Thank you for your help." ”
Lao Zhongyi looked at the radiant woman in front of him, this woman who seemed to be born a nobleman, this powerful, strong, and wise woman, sighed again, and turned to leave.
Rong Xue stood among the flowers and was silent for a long time. (To be continued.) )
