143 Divergent Paths (4)
Gongsun didn't go directly to his sister's house after he arrived in Jinyang, in fact, it was his little caution that was making trouble. Youzhou watched from the wall when Yuan Shaobing was trapped in Jinyang, and even heard that Jinyang was almost broken, and his sister Gongsun Wan'er and the little nephew Liu Yu who had never seen him were almost killed, Gongsun Xu was a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of attitude his brother-in-law had towards him, although the letter newspaper said that the sister and his wife were still very affectionate, but only looking at the spots and chiseles on the Jinyang city wall, as well as the ruins and broken walls in the city, everyone knew the tragic situation of the day.
There is an inescapable reality that after this incident, the originally close relationship between the Gongsun family and the Liu family will never return!
With a little bitterness and a little pain, Gongsun Xu found an inn in Jinyang City and quietly stayed. After several years of battlefield encouragement, Gongsun Xu is no longer the little naughty boy who hid behind Liu Feng and avoided his sister's pursuit, and he was indifferent to everything in his arms, but he was by no means indifferent to anything as shown on his fat face.
Even in the face of Liu Feng's affection as before, Gongsun Xu did not have the joy he imagined in his heart, but a little bit of loss, and even a little panic, I don't know if there is something else behind this kind smile. 3
On that day, his father, Gongsun Zhan, faced the panic and urgency of Yuan's army's siege, and the danger of life and death is still vivid.
For the merger of the state of the unrighteous not to save the death, Gongsun Xu's resentment in his heart is no less than his father Gongsun Zhan, but unfortunately, for more than a year, they have not opened a letter from the state, all the messengers, even the same mess typed, the misunderstanding, even he himself did not know.
Only when facing his own sister, Gongsun Xu was inevitable, there was a little guilt in his heart, a little gloomy, and the recitations on the streets and alleys had already clearly told him that his sister was in danger that day, and she was almost unsafe!
Gongsun Wan'er doesn't have as much thought as her younger brother, she hasn't seen her younger brother for nearly two years, and because of her father's anger Gongsun Zhan, she has not heard from her mother's family for more than a year, and she doesn't know how long the family is. Suddenly heard that her younger brother Gongsun Xu came to Jinyang City, Wan'er was suddenly for a while, hurriedly cleaned up, and led people to meet the door early, looking at the height obviously jumped a little higher Gongsun Xu and Liu Feng came over with a smile, they were excited, their apricot eyes were straight, and they only stared at their younger brother, as for Ma Chao in front of him, he even took Liu Feng and ignored it directly.
Gongsun Xu scratched his scalp with some cringe, and subconsciously thought about retreating behind Liu Feng, with a signboard smile on his face: "Sister, I'm coming to see you!" ”
Liu Feng sneered, and couldn't help but say that he grabbed Gongsun Xu's neck and took him off the horse and pressed him in front of Wan'er, Wan'er couldn't help herself, tears rained down, grabbed Gongsun Xu's arm tightly, tears flowed down, choked for a while, and couldn't speak.
Liu Feng knew that she was sandwiched between her husband and father, and both sides were her closest people, and the torment was something that could be told in a few words, so she walked over and stroked Wan'er's back with one hand, scraped her fingers on the wing of her nose, and said with a smile: "There are still guests here, you are crying and crying, and you are not afraid of making people laugh at me Liu Feng is a waste who can only bully his wife?" ”
Wan'er didn't expect him to make such an intimate action in this public, her face turned red, she glanced at Liu Feng coquettishly, and her jade face was smeared with a layer of rouge, as if she had returned to the girlish appearance when she was in Youzhou, which was extraordinarily bright and moving. After Liu Feng's reminder, Wan'er also noticed Ma Chao on the side, reacted violently, quickly returned to normal, and generously gave Ma Chao a blessing: "The concubine saw her brother, and she was embarrassed for a while, and if you were rude, please don't blame the general!" ”
"How dare you!" Ma Chao hurriedly returned the salute, but Jun's face was uncomfortable for a while, and he didn't know what to say, his hands and feet were a little cramped, and he didn't dare to look at Wan'er with his head down.
Ma Chao grew up in Liangzhou, although the Ma family is also a local family, after all, Ma Teng's house has been in decline for several generations, as for Ma Chao's parents and ancestors are married to Qiang women, which is a big humiliation in the eyes of the Han family. Ma Chao has always been a sassy and neat Qiang girl, although there is no shortage of bright and pretty, but he has never seen a gentle and generous Han lady like Wan'er, and he was stunned for a while.
Wan'er just smiled faintly, her eyes followed her younger brother Gongsun Xu again, looking at his strong body, and there was a kind of general wind in his bones, secretly happy in his heart, and thinking about his future father in a few years, there were a thousand words in his heart, and he only surged up for a while.
Gongsun Xu tilted his head, ignoring his sister's demeanor, only looking at Ma Chao's appearance, he couldn't help but feel funny, and laughed: "Sister, this Ma Mengqi is my newly married brother, in fact, he still has some ability, he is known as a young man invincible in Liangzhou, and those Qiang people are all afraid of him, hehe, and those Wuhuan Xianbei people have seen me, only to hide and go!" ”
The little fat man's words made Ma super big angry, and glared at Gongsun Xu hatefully, but when he met Wan'er's eyes, he became cramped again, and for the first time in his life, he hesitated whether he should say something humble to express it, and thought of such a beautiful woman, who was actually Liu Feng's wife, and looked at Liu Feng's feelings, and became a little uncomfortable.
Liu Feng listened to the little fat man boasting to Ma Chao, these words are not excessive, but he even boasted about himself, but he was very shameless, thinking that Wan'er sister and brother had not seen each other for a few years, there should be a lot to say, he raised the palm knife, slashed heavily on Gongsun Xu's neck, and scolded with a smile: "I will brag, the Qiang people are afraid of Meng Qi, that is because Meng Qi is brave and martial arts in Liangzhou, and the Qiang people are convinced!" You kid, but with the prestige of your father-in-law, you dare to cross your hands? No shame! ”
This sentence is just like the feeling when I was in Youzhou that day. Gongsun Xu's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he raised his neck and wanted to refute two sentences, but a trace of indescribable feeling suddenly arose in his heart, and the words came to the bottom of his tongue, but he could no longer raise the courage, his face stiffened, hehe chuckled twice, and gently covered it, and he didn't hear anything.
Liu Feng was also gloomy for a while, no matter how well Gongsun continued to cover it up, that kind of life could not escape his eyes. Misunderstandings can be eliminated, but the estrangement can no longer be removed!
