Chapter 278: How Pure Should Love Be?
The tips of the fresh grass are stained with moonlight silver, and the boundless waves ripple gently in the quiet night.
The shadow horse, who had been whispered back to the camp, had disappeared in a puff of smoke, and the more honest and docile brown horse humped the two people who hugged each other tightly, and the horse's hooves were slow and silent.
Man Yun wrapped his hands tightly around Xiao Hong's waist, and tiredly reflexively lay in his arms, his starry eyes slightly closed, his red lips slightly pursed, like a sleepy little baby. The man looked down and smiled softly, his cheek brushing lightly against the fiery red scarf of her black hair.
After the sudden poisoning of Mrs. Xu, although the couple seemed to have reached an understanding on the way to Wulianghai, the deliberate and careful gentleness of each other always made people realize that the scars were inevitable. If she hadn't been so persistent and fiery in the steppe with a flame that could burn everything, perhaps his expedition would have been somewhat covered with a gray shadow.
I like such a presumptuous and bold woman in my bones, what can I do? As she says, she is unique in the world. His only poison and the only antidote!
His eyes were drunk with starlight, and Xiao Hong's slightly drunk lips lingered greedily on the woman's cheeks.
"Have you arrived?" , The confused eyes opened, and Man Yun's voice was lazy and hoarse, which made it even more seductive.
"Nope. I'd rather like to go back later, let's try and ...... right away", a large, mischievous hand deftly crossed the obstacle, hot and hot directly against the thin flesh of Man Yun's waist.
Man Yun was almost dazzled by the urge to nod directly, and at the last moment reason stopped, her eyes widened in panic, "No! ”
"Can't? You've said you're willing to do anything with me! He pouted and replaced it with a young man. There was a faint grievance in his eyes.
"It's not...... You're leaving tomorrow...... Next time...... I promise that I will ...... in the future", the explanation in his mouth was scattered, and Man Yun's face was embarrassed as if it were on fire. The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high! Every time he boldly crosses a little boundary, the man will shamelessly take himself to sink deeper.
"If you say yes!" , pecked the corner of his wife's mouth. Xiao Hong couldn't help but laugh out loud. The urging of the horse's body to be knocked down in laughter made the horse immediately rush towards the camp like a cluster of arrows off the string.
"You lied to me! I was going to go straight back to camp, right? You have to recharge your energy when you set off tomorrow, and you have a weak heart now......", the horse that suddenly accelerated suddenly made Zhou Manyun's mind clear, and the giggles floating in the wind also added a little more arrogance.
"Zhou Manyun! Be honest! Or I'll just turn the next time into this one! The woman's round and small earlobe was lightly bitten in the roar of gnashing teeth, "You wait!" I decided, and the promise was to go immediately. Also pick a good day with a big sun! ”
"Ahh The woman's loud exclamation turned around at the moment when the horse was hoofing, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a surprised rejection or a joyful approval......
The moon sets and rises again, and the silver glow reflected in the Wuliang Sea gradually becomes richer and richer in the time.
The wind is clear and the moon is light, the water is cold and refreshing, but the lake water that is picked up is on the cheeks as if it is boiling immediately, and the bright eyes reflected in the water are even more blurry as if they are still falling into a deep dream.
That man is simply a devil who steals hearts and minds! Man Yun, who was slowly straightening up by the sea, sighed softly. The expedition had been on the march for four or five days, but now it was day and night. As long as the fingertips touch the saddle of the horse, the eyes see the churning waves of grass. Even a wisp of breeze kisses her cheek, and she can't help but start to miss it.
The bright moon hook evokes a thousand years of lovesickness. The moon is also like a sickle, cutting off countless human bonds...... Mrs. Mo Zhi stood in the dark night in a plain gray robe and stared at her granddaughter silently for a long time before she gently called out, "Man Yun! ”
The young and beautiful woman immediately looked back and smiled. He ran over in three steps and two steps, holding his grandmother steadily.
Madame Mozhi smiled kindly, and was held by Man Yun, only to say that it would be cheaper to speak. The seventy-year-old Mrs. Mo Zhi is in good health, and generally does not want to accept others to see her as an old woman to take care of. The pain of losing a husband and a child one after another has made his hair gray, but he has survived tenaciously again and again, and he has lived more resolutely.
She likes and is proud of her granddaughter. Just like the incident that day when Manyun led Xiao Hong away with a horse pole, maybe the old people in Han Di couldn't see it, but in the eyes of Mrs. Mo Zhi, it must be very wise and courageous for a woman to be able to bring back her husband who occasionally deviates like an untamable horse.
No matter how good a child is, there are times when he makes a fool of himself, and those small actions in private can't really hide from the eyes of the elderly.
Xiao Hong is good. The deliberate concealment of Man Yun that day was to Mrs. Mo Zhi, begging her to explain it to Man Yun after setting off for a while. Mrs. Mo Zhi's noncommittal at the moment was tacitly approved by Xiao Hong. And Mrs. Mo Zhi doesn't like to care about her grandchildren's affairs, and only whispers to her stupid grandson, "If you are not allowed to go to Yanzhou, you are not allowed, don't want to ask your sister for help!" "That's enough.
The children's affairs should be solved by themselves if they have their own hands, feet and heads. But the self-improvement of "no respect for the elders" at any time will also make the elderly panic.
"I told your father back then that if one day he or his family didn't treat Shanshan well, I would simply pick up my daughter and go home and find her a man again." , and along the shore, Mrs. Mo Zhi intimately held Man Yun's arm and whispered in a deep voice, her eyes flashed a faint sadness, "I occasionally think that maybe Shanshan is afraid that she will come back, and I will persuade her to remarry before staying in Jiangnan." But the same thing I said to Xiao Hong a few days ago. ”
"Grandma! My mother didn't come back, it should just be a long distance and inconvenient for the north and south of the world! Man Yun shook Mrs. Mozhi's arm, and deliberately added her mother's share to be doubly coquettish.
"I've been young, too!" , Mrs. Mo Zhi couldn't help laughing, "I have experienced the same age as you, and I have also experienced Shanshan." Being a mother is also a process, from being pregnant for ten months to the ground, learning to walk and learn to talk a little bit to be able to send a married person to live as a daughter-in-law of another family, at different times the heart of worrying about her children is changing, and her thoughts are also changing. Now, if Shanshan listened to your recent situation, I guess I would be able to understand my feelings when I was not used to thinking about going directly to Zhou's house to cut people with a knife. ”
Man Yun's face turned pale as he brushed the ground. After coming to the Mo people, she has been deliberately reporting good news and not bad news, and only talked about Xiao Hong's benefits in front of her grandmother.
Mrs. Mo Zhi shook her head at Man Yun and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Xu drugged you, Xiao Hong mentioned it to me. He wants me to stay with you to take care of it. Naturally, the truth was told. I didn't expect that your mother and daughter would meet the same mother-in-law. ”
"Grandma!" , Man Yun was anxious, and looked at Mrs. Mo Zhi with wide eyes.
"Sister Yun!" , Mrs. Mo Zhi held Man Yun's cold little hand and sighed: "I have lived for more than ten or twenty years, and now I will no longer be angry with the unworthy people." The so-called nobility is not to look at the blood but to look at the heart. I have more reason to despise them, don't I? I just think you're more stupid, more forbearing, and more aggrieved than your mother. ”
"Back then. Although your mother endured the dumb pain of being hit by Xiangling, she could live as she should in the Zhou Mansion, and directly took her mother's family as a backing. Man Yun, you haven't used it all the time, whether it's the Zhou family in Jiangnan or me. ”
"Grandma! Because the Zhou family is still in the south of the Yangtze River and the Xiao family is in the north, if it is known to the world......"
"So what? You've read the books. In 500 years, when the world is divided into three parts, is there still a small number of fathers, sons, and brothers who each serve one master? As long as you don't kill yourself. Most of them enjoy honor because they have external support. It is suggested that you not mention your mother's family, is it the Xiao family's idea? The corners of Mrs. Mo Zhi's mouth curled up with a sneer: "If you straighten your waist in Yunzhou, you will recognize that you are from the Zhou family, a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and you still have 30,000 soldiers and horses from your grandfather's family as a backing in Mobei. A dog like that green tree will be more or less scruples when he is told. ”
Xiaoqiao Liushui and other guards brought by Manyun to Wulianghai have talked privately about it in the past few days. Previously, even they only married into the Xiao family as Zhou Manyun, and all they could rely on was Xiao Hong's favor. After coming forward to knock on the shocked Xiaoqiao Liushui, it is obvious that his attitude towards Man Yun is different from before, but this idiot in front of him should not have discovered it yet.
"The world behaves with great respect for others. A WOMAN WHO HAS NO BACKING AND ONLY A MAN'S LOVE IS NOT CONVENIENT FOR EVEN GATHERING PEOPLE IN THE INNER HOUSE. And how long can his love last you? Mrs. Mo Zhi sighed, squeezed Man Yun's hand and continued: "Grandma understands that there are some things that you don't understand, but you just disdain. Silly boy! You and Xiao Hong are both stupid, and until now, only when you love him and he loves you, you have nothing else to ask for. Is it afraid that the use of your mother's family will hurt the purity of your feelings? ”
"No, it's ......", Zhou Manyun's timid denial revealed no confidence.
"People who talk about their elders as talismans every day are bad, but not using their elders to protect themselves at all will also make an old man like me sad. Even if you put aside the love of your ancestors and grandchildren, just being an older person than you wants to tell you that if you really like him, you should do everything you can to give full play to your advantages, otherwise what strength do you have to protect what you want to protect, and when can you really have the qualifications to be a mother? ”
A long Hu pastoral song with a mournful long tune was whispered by the old woman's hoarse voice by the lake, and even if he couldn't completely understand the meaning of the words, Man Yun couldn't help but moisten his eyes.
The end of the song hung on the moontop, and Mrs. Mo Zhi turned her head and told Man Yun the meaning of the song seriously, "The lark on the grassland wants to be a good mother, and when the birds are busy laying eggs, they want to build a solid nest for the baby who will be born, and it will go to the mountains and rocks in the north to carve out the rock walls, and go to the sea in the east to pick up pearls...... When the nest was built, I suddenly found that it was past the spring when I could multiply. ”
"Grandma! If I give birth to a child in such an unacceptable situation, won't it hurt the child! ”
"I can't say you're wrong, Manyun. Every young mother always wants to give her child the best preparation, and you are more stubborn. There is also a sense of shame in using children to strengthen their position. I can only say that in fact, since you have the ability to protect yourself, it may be better to choose to go directly to the door and fight back all the threats that arise with a big belly. In the hindrance of the inheritance and reputation of the heirs, what a housewife like Mrs. Xu dares to do is only to take precautions. ”
"But...... But now it's too late. Even now, it is impossible to return to Yunzhou with a stomach. Man Yun replied.
"Sister Yun! That's why I get a headache when I hear that you're actually taking those pills that hurt my body. When I gave birth to your mother, Huyakou coincided with the attack of the Mo tribe, which was very dangerous, but it was quite strong. Maybe you don't agree, but women who live in the border areas are more sorry to have children...... Manyun, because they know that every chance to have an heir with their husband may be the last. ”
Zhou Manyun's eyes widened suddenly, frightened and flustered.
"It depends on who you're marrying, Manyun! You say you like him, but have you ever seriously seen him play crazy with the children of the clan in his spare time? Lady Mozhi looked at the dark grassland and said faintly: "Even those wild wolves, thinking that there are still little wolf cubs waiting to be fed in the nest, the desire to escape under the cluster of arrows is stronger. ”
A woman who thinks about love too purely, in the eyes of Mrs. Mozhi, who values inheritance, is just selfish and loves herself more. (To be continued......)
