Chapter 14: The Prince's Thoughts
Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao rode a horse and walked forward slowly, after all, the two were still young, although they only got along for a short time the night before, they were already familiar friends, so they were very lively and funny. Seeing that he was about to enter the hunting forest area, Liu Yao kicked the horse's belly slightly, and the car under the two of them immediately sped up his pace, Liu Yao tightly wrapped around the sheep and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, I will be able to protect your safety." ”
Yang Xianrong was not frightened by the accelerated speed, but he seemed to see through Liu Yao's psychology, so he said: "Although you don't care, you actually want to hunt." ”
Liu Yao smiled shyly: "I have been practicing martial arts for a long time, and I hope to test the results." ”
When Yang Xianrong heard this, he immediately smiled sweetly and praised without hesitation: "You are infinitely powerful, and you dance well with your sword, and you have the best kung fu among the people I know." ”
Liu Yao was very helpful when he heard this, and immediately straightened his chest and said, "Then I have to let my sister see my skills today." ”
The two continued to walk towards the forest, and after a while, they saw a gray rabbit in a cluster of grass, Liu Yao stared at the target, slowly took out an arrow from the quiver and put it on the bow, he frowned at this time, his mouth opened slightly to the side, and after the bow was full, he was about to shoot, but suddenly saw an arrow shot at the gray rabbit from another direction, the arrow was crooked, and the gray rabbit was frightened and ran away. Liu Yao was a little annoyed, raised his eyes to look in the direction where the arrow was fired, and saw Sima Shu riding out of his horse nonchalantly and slowly walking towards them.
"You're late." Before he could get to the two of them, Sima Shu raised his voice and shouted.
"You're early enough, but it's a pity that you're not good at archery." Liu Yao replied loudly: "I sent one away for nothing." ”
"You know what." Sima Shu got closer and closer, stopped in front of Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong, pointed to Yang Xianrong, and said: "Sister Xianrong is here, the little girl has always loved cats and dogs, and she can't put down rabbits, you kill in front of her, I'm afraid it will scare her." ”
Hearing this, Yang Xianrong raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Ma Yu underestimated me. ”
"Oh?" Sima Shu didn't expect Yang Xianrong to refute his words, but he really wanted to know what kind of thoughts were hidden in Yang Xianrong's little head.
"Although I am young, I also know that hunting is to kill, if I am afraid, how can I beg my second brother to bring me?" Yang Xianrong is a little proud, she is young, she is a girl, but who said that a young girl must be brave? Although she was raised in a deep mansion compound, she also grew up listening to the stories of the heroes, how could a few bloody cats and dogs make her afraid? Yang Xianrong raised his head slightly and continued: "Besides, isn't the hunting ground a place for you to test your skills? If I stop it in every possible way because I am afraid, will I not fail General Liu's kindness in agreeing to me coming? It's also too unfair to Liu Yao's brother. ”
Liu Yao looked at Yang Xianrong sitting in front of him a little unexpectedly, although he couldn't see her expression, he also looked at Yang Xianrong a little higher in his heart, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upward.
Sima Shu was bored and pouted: "How old are you, what do you know?" ”
Yang Xianrong didn't bother with Sima Shu, made a grimace at him, and said, "Then Brother Ma Yu doesn't want to show his skills?" ”
"I don't bother to compete with these people." Sima Shu looked around and said, "Didn't you delay Liu Yao by following him?" It's better for you to follow me, I'm not interested in this kind of trick anyway, I can show you around. ”
Yang Xianrong glanced back at Liu Yao when she heard this, she knew that although Liu Yao didn't say it, she was afraid that she had already hunted several fierce beasts in her heart, so she nodded and said, "Okay." ”
After changing to Sima Yao's horse, Liu Yao left first, and Yang Xianrong asked, "Don't you like Brother Liu Yao?" ”
"I don't like it or not, and I don't know him well." Sima Shu gently kicked the horse's belly twice, and also asked Yang Xianrong: "What, do you like him very much?" ”
"I like it, he's good at kung fu and good people."
"Oh."
Yang Xianrong heard Sima Shu's absent-minded answer, and turned his head to look at him strangely, only to see that his brows were deeply locked, and his eyes were looking at the front sluggishly, Yang Xianrong was young, but he was used to observing words and feelings, so he asked cautiously: "Brother Ma Yu, I think you have something on your mind, and you are unhappy these days." ”
"You're a child, you don't understand." Sima Shu said casually.
Yang Xianrong was a little unhappy, pouted, and said unhappily: "You always look down on children, but you yourself are not very old. ”
Sima Shu smiled slightly when he heard this, Yang Xianrong is young, but he always looks like an adult when he speaks, which makes people want to laugh when he hears it, but when he sees her serious appearance, he can't laugh anymore. Sima Shu really lacked someone who could listen to him, but when he thought of those things in the palace, he was disturbed, and how could a little girl understand?
Sima Shu didn't speak for a long time, but Yang Xianrong had been waiting for him to say something, and Sima Shu had to slowly tell her that there was nothing, but that something happened at home that made him a little clueless for a while.
"Something at home? Shall I give you an analysis? ”
"You?" Sima Shu wanted to make a few more jokes about Yang Xianrong, but when he remembered her serious appearance, he couldn't help but change his words, and said: "My family's affairs are indeed a bit complicated, if you want to hear it, I will talk to you." ”
Yang Xianrong nodded hurriedly, and added as if to dispel Sima Shu's concerns: "Brother Ma Yu, I'm different from those women with long tongues, I don't like to chew people's tongues, I just want to share one or two for you." ”
"You really know a lot." Sima Shu laughed out loud, sighed again, and said, "That's it, anyway, I'm depressed in my heart, if you want to listen, I have nothing to scruple about." Then, Sima Shu said quietly: "I was raised by my grandfather since I was a child, and my grandfather died of illness some time ago, and my father took charge of the house, but he has always been cowardly, and he is very afraid of internal ......."
"What does it mean to be guilty?"
"It's just ......" Sima Shu hesitated, even though he was dissatisfied with his father, he didn't want to tarnish his reputation, especially as a son, he didn't want to be too disrespectful to his father. Yang Xianrong saw that Sima Shu had no voice, and looked back at him curiously, Sima Shu looked at Yang Xianrong's eyes, which were a pair of very spiritual apricot eyes, deep pupils with puzzlement and inquiry, ghosts made gods like gods, Sima Shu blurted out: "I'm afraid of my wife." ”
"I see." Sheep Xianrong, who had received the answer, turned back with satisfaction.
Sima Shu continued: "I am my father's only son, but my mother is only a servant girl, and after my grandfather's death, my mother was placed under house arrest, and I never met him again. As for my father's wife, my mother-in-law, she was always on guard against me, and she wanted to give birth to a son of her own, so she changed me. ”
"Did she give birth then?" Yang Xianrong asked.
"No," Sima Shu pondered for a moment, then continued, "before I came to hunt, I went to bid farewell to my grandmother, but she said something very strange to me. ”
Sima Shu remembered that Yang Zhi was a little uneasy before he left, that day Yang Zhi said that she was faintly uncomfortable, it seemed that something was going to happen, he didn't plan to come out, but Yang Zhi urged him to leave, before he left, Yang Zhi told him to be careful in everything, and repeatedly reminded him to beware of Jia Nanfeng.
Sima Shu didn't speak for a long time, Yang Xianrong glanced back, only to see his eyes looking into the distance, his brows furrowed. Yang Xianrong called him softly, and he reacted and continued: "I'm a little worried, I'm afraid that my grandmother will attack my grandmother or even me. ”
"Start?" Yang Xianrong was shocked: "What does that mean?" ”
Sima Shu noticed that it seemed to scare Yang Xianrong, so he changed his relaxed tone and said, "Maybe it was to kick me out of the house or something." He continued: "A few days ago, there was a rumor in my family that my mother-in-law was planning to choose a wife for me, and I didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd. ”
"I don't know anything else, but my mother said that as a parent, you don't want your children to be well."
"Not really." Sima Shu shook his head: "The more wealthy the house, the less ethical family affection is seen, and some are just the word interests." For example, my mother-in-law was always worried that one day if I took charge of the house, there would be no place for her, and I was a little worried that I would lose my identity before I took charge of the house. ”
"If you take charge of the house, will you take revenge on your mother-in-law?"
"Yes." Sima Shu replied without hesitation.
Yang Xianrong stopped speaking when he heard this.
"What's wrong? Are children scared now? Sima Shu gently touched the little head of Yang Xianrong, and said apologetically: "It's me who is not good, I have no scruples about talking about this, and I forgot that you are still young, so it is not suitable to listen to this." ”
Yang Xianrong was not afraid, she was worried, worried about her brother Ma Yu. Sima Shu is now bent on revenge, presumably his mother-in-law also thinks so, now that she is in charge of the family, how can she give Sima Shu the opportunity to take charge of the family? Then she will definitely do everything to deal with him, but his father can't protect him, so isn't his situation dangerous?
"It's not dangerous," Sima hesitated for a moment, he laughed, trying to ease the atmosphere, Yang Xianrong is still young, it is indeed not suitable to listen to these stories of open and secret battles, so he said simply: "Our family still has a big housekeeper to protect me, as well as uncles and uncles, I will not be in danger, you can rest assured." ”
"Oh," Yang Xianrong relieved himself and let out a long sigh of relief.
