Chapter 119: Returning to the Owner
Don't bother you, I have legs to walk on my own. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test" Yun Xiu snorted coldly and turned around and left without hesitation.
Behind him, the county lord's angry shout came from the warm pavilion: "Why don't you take her away?!" You're all deaf!! “
The early spring sun outside the house hit her body warmly, but Yun Xiu felt so dry that she crumpled the list in her hand.
If you have the heart to let her show her face, you will do your best, but you can use her as a pawn, Yun Xiu thought coldly, you have a plan, she has a countermeasure.
The list was thrown to the frontyard steward, and she was the shopkeeper and went back to the house with peace of mind.
Ling Xiao didn't expect her to come back so soon, and was about to ask the little maid to help change the dressing.
The wound was exposed, and Yun Xiu was shocked, it was not a small injury at all, but below the end of the left shoulder blade, which was pierced by a sharp weapon, although there was no fear of life, and the whole arm could not be moved, and the fingertips were swollen.
Sweat drops oozed from Ling Xiao's forehead, his brows were furrowed, his teeth were clenched, and when he sprinkled the powder, he couldn't help but gasp and hiss.
"Won't you say it's okay?" Yun Xiu sent the person down and drugged him, feeling distressed and reproachful, "You are like this, and you still have the heart to joke with the girl." “
"I really didn't know that Gu Fanshuang would be able to find the small mansion," Ling Xiao hissed again, "I came back in a hurry in Qingzhou, and the flaws were exposed." If you make a mistake in calculation, my mother won't talk about it, you can't finish your heart all day long, and I don't want you to be sad. “
"But I still know," Yun Xiu frowned, held back her tears, and lowered her voice, "Ling Xiao, you ignored me before, did you have resentment in your heart, resentment that I didn't understand you." “
"Sort of." Ling Xiao sighed, "The little shoes given by the emperor, no matter how difficult it is, you have to hold on, I thought you understood." This time Cui Shangshu was involved, and the two families repaired, and Gu Fanshuang played a role. If you replace it with an irrelevant person, you don't have this attitude for a long time. “
Yun Xiu pursed her lips.
"I know what you think," he continued, "I keep a little smile on my face for the sake of Cui Shangshu's face." “
Yun Xiu added: "And the girl is well-behaved and unpleasant. “
"Okay, there are reasons for all sides," Ling Xiao didn't argue with her, "but there is no Cui family, we are friends with the Gu family." You have to pull Gu Fanshuang, I just ask you, you can marry her after you get married, what am I doing in Yangzhou? “
Yun Xiu was silent and relaxed the bandaging action.
"You're clear-hearted." Ling Xiao said, "Daughter-in-law, there are many girls who don't dislike, just chat a few words." You can't poke people's lung tubes with two or five eyes. “
As he spoke, he pulled her to sit down, stroked her fair face, and lowered his voice: "Don't sulk, huh?" “
Yun Xiu felt the warmth of his palm, greedy for a moment, and his tone was unprecedentedly gentle and well-behaved: "I won't be jealous in the future, and I won't block you." “
Ling Xiao was not happy because she was obedient, but stared at her in a daze, frowning slightly, and at the moment when she opened her lips, Yun Xiuer approached and took the initiative to kiss her.
"I'm not angry anymore." She smiled, like touching Brother Huan'er, touching Ling Xiao's head, and changing the topic without showing a trace, "Turning danger into disaster should be celebrated, my mother-in-law will hold a meeting in Changchun Garden in two days, what do you want to hear?" “
"I don't want to hear anything," Ling Xiao felt that she was abnormal, "Don't go, accompany me in the house to recuperate." “
"Usually I would have answered you, but not this time," Yun Xiu said as he packed up the medicine bottle, "Mother-in-law has repeatedly told us that we must go, in short, you can endure it for a day, and then you can't endure it for half a day." “
Ling Xiao snorted, losing his trouble.
??
On the day of the Changchun Garden singing meeting, Yun Xiu said that if she didn't pick up Gu Fanshuang, she wouldn't go, but not only did she not go, but she didn't call Ling Xiao.
The lord of Pingkang County is hindered by the large number of guests, so it is not easy for her to make a face, but she can remember it in her heart.
As for Gu Fanshuang, of course she would not attend as the Gu family, but arrived with the carriage of the Cui family.
"Godmother, you take care of your steps," she helped Mrs. Cui get out of the car and whispered, "My daughter is the first to come to Lingjiazi, I'm afraid I'm going to have stage fright, don't laugh." “
"You, you've been at home for a long time," Mrs. Cui patted her hand, "It's right to be decent, but it's too good to be too regular." “
Gu Fanshuang belched: "Godmother's teachings are true, and my daughter should remember." “
"When you are old for a long time, I can be regarded as looking forward to you," the county lord of Pingkang personally greeted the Cui family's wife, and praised Gu Fanshuang, "I am really beautiful today." “
Gu Fanshuang lowered his head and smiled lightly, "The county lord praises falsely, and the female guest is beautiful, so I am afraid that my appearance will be untidy and I will lose the face of my godfather and godmother." “
"How come, Miss Gu is beautiful and lovely today," Yun Xiu stood beside the Lord of Pingkang and said with a smile, "My mother-in-law has a wonderful eye, and she will never be mistaken." “
"Look at this clever mouth." Mrs. Cui smiled at Lord Pingkang and said, "I have heard that a pair of sisters from the Yun family are smart and clever, and it is better to see them than to hear them. “
"It's all about the children," Lord Pingkang didn't say good or bad, and walked forward with a group of people, "Now that I have the eldest grandson, I'll just have a leisure, I'll take the little guy to show you, like a small-faced person, and I don't recognize life, not to mention how much people love." “
"That's good."
When the ladies talked about children, they quickly found common ground.
However, Gu Fanshuang, who fell behind, did not look very good.
"Has Miss Gu seen Brother Huan?" Yun Xiu didn't open which pot to mention, walked beside her, and laughed in a low voice, "The jujube paste cake you gave last time, the child likes to eat it, and the father and son ate half a box." “
"Then I'll do more next time." Gu Fanshuang reluctantly tugged at the corners of his mouth.
She was in a bad mood, not because she was talking about Ling Xiao's children, but because Yun Xiu was dressed today, with a bright eosin spring dress, a hundred butterflies wearing flowers on the gardenia-colored pleated skirt, with a light gait, the glimmer was smart, layered, as if she was alive.
And the same gorgeous makeup, the red coral gilt step is like the finishing touch, which is not complicated, and the lining of Yunxiu is more fair and moving.
Her eyebrows and eyes are smiling, looking forward to the brilliance, sparkling, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are full of style, as if she is indescribably soft.
Don't talk about Ling Xiao, any man will fall in love at first sight??
Gu Fanshuang also carefully found that the pomelo fragrance used in Yun Xiu's head oil is light and elegant, with a gorgeous appearance, just like tasting tea after delicacies, relieving greasy and refreshing, and eliminating the domineering and flamboyant in the taste buds.
Therefore, most of the female guests marveled at Yun Xiu's picturesque beauty, but no one was jealous and ashamed.
Her demeanor was generous, which made Gu Fanshuang feel inferior.
Even Ling Xiao was amazed by Yun Xiu, and he secretly praised her beauty in her ear more than once.
Yun Xiu smiled shyly, the woman is a person who pleases herself, she wants to leave the most beautiful impression on her beloved.
At the beginning of the congregation, the female guests sat upstairs and the male guests sat downstairs.
After a scene ended, the county lord of Pingkang got up and left the table, Yun Xiu sat in the back row, his eyes followed and looked at the past, Cui Shangshu and Ling Xiao were talking in the verandah in the distance, and then it was Mrs. Cui and Gu Fanshuang who passed, and the county lord of Pingkang and the old marquis arrived last. The two families exchanged pleasantries.
The county lord of Pingkang said something to Gu Fanshuang with a smile, and the lady of the Cui family responded, and Gu Fanshuang nodded frequently.
Looking at the expressions of Cui Shangshu and the old marquis, they should be boasting about Ling Xiao.
And Yun Xiu, the wife of the Ling family, was left in the stands and watched this scene with mixed tastes.
She thought of the marriage between the Ling and Gu families in her previous life, and suddenly smiled with relief, got up and went downstairs, came to Gu Fanshuang's side, found an excuse, and the two talked alone.
"You've liked Little Hou Ye for a long time, right?" Yun Xiu asked.
Gu Fanshuang was stunned for a moment, and generously admitted it.
"Actually, you don't have to worry," Yun Xiu said with Yan Yuese, "This fate belongs to you, Ling Xiao will like you sooner or later." “
Gu Fanshuang showed a puzzled look.
"I didn't lie to you," Yun Xiu smiled calmly, "But you have to promise me one condition, that is, don't let Ling Xiao go to Yangguan, otherwise I will know that I will definitely try to take him back." “
As she spoke, she leaned into Gu Fanshuang's ear: "This is a secret between the two of us, don't let him know." “
Then she took a step back, smiled, and held back her tears: "I'm leaving, you must treat him well, use the power of the Cui family to ensure that he is safe in this life, and he will treat you well." “
With that, she turned to leave.
Gu Fanshuang was completely stupid, standing in place, watching the bright red back leave, from the verandah to the water pavilion, down the steps, until it became smaller and smaller.
The carriage had already been prepared, and she was about to get into the carriage when she suddenly remembered Ling Xiao's voice behind her.
"Xiuxiu, where are you going?" He didn't bother to tear the wound, grabbed her wrist, pulled it aside, and asked nervously, "What the hell is wrong with you?" What are you talking to Gu Fanshuang? “
"Didn't say anything," she smiled at him, "I wanted to make friends with her." “
"Less!" Ling Xiao raised his voice, "It's not a day or two that something is wrong with you, what's wrong with holding back your heart?" If you're not happy, I'm not happy! “
"Shhhh Yun Xiu pointed his index finger on his lips, still smiling, "There are many guests today, don't lose your temper, you let go of me first, and I'll talk to you well." “
Ling Xiao was like a big dog with fried hair, listening to her Wu Nong's soft words, he was shunmao, obedient and let go, with a displeased expression: "You say." “
"Can I hug you?" Yun Xiu made an inexplicable request.
Ling Xiao didn't move, she reached out to hug his waist, and said calmly: "The thing is returned to the original owner, you remember to be good to Brother Huan." “
After a pause, he said, "I want the child, take advantage of my mother-in-law's absence, go back and play with him, and I won't come." “
Ling Xiao looked at her suspiciously: "Are you really going home?" “
Yun Xiu nodded vigorously.
Ling Xiao couldn't see anything unusual, and reluctantly agreed: "Come on, I'll go back to accompany you later." “
Yun Xiu belched as if she sighed, turned around and got into the car, and said to leave.
Ling Xiao was not at ease, and opened the curtain and said, "Don't run around, do you hear?" “
Yun Xiu still nodded, she didn't dare to speak, she was afraid that she would continue to talk and didn't want to leave.
The carriage galloped all the way, and she burst into tears as she tossed and swayed, crying uncontrollably.
She thought, Brother Huan, my mother is sorry for you??
I also think that the fate originates and the fate disappears. Goodbye Ling Xiao, never see each other again in this life??
The family relationship is thin, the love is difficult to overcome, send you the word "open-minded", she thought, master, I can't be open-minded, I can only leave, no worries.
***
On the dock, An Entong stood in a conspicuous place, saw Yun Xiu get out of the carriage, went straight away, and found her crying.
"Madam, it's too late to regret it now." He sighed softly, "Reluctantly, why embarrass yourself?" “
"Let's go," Yun Xiu said dejectedly, "You asked me if I regretted it, I regretted it." “
An Entong finally decided: "This merchant ship is not going to Yangzhou, are you willing?" “
Yun Xiu nodded, "It doesn't matter where I go, I just want to leave Yanjing, the sooner the better." “
An Entong said yes, but he still couldn't help but sigh, "Madam, why are you bothering." “
Yun Xiu stopped talking, picked up her skirt, and stepped onto the deck.
And Ling Xiao, from the moment the carriage disappeared from view, he had a bad premonition, he sat still and listened to the second play, and was about to return home, when he was stopped by the lord of Pingkang.
She asked, "Son, are you going to look for Yun Xiu?" “
Ling Xiao: "Don't go, I'm tired and want to go back to sleep." “
"Cui Shangshu and your father are chatting, why don't you go over and sit for a while," Pingkang County's tone softened, "Knowing that you are hard and obedient, your father said that Cui Shangshu is very optimistic about you." “
Ling Xiao sighed, hesitated for a moment, and sat down in the empty seat beside Cui Shangshu.
This chat, the third play came to an end.
Ling Xiao looked at the sky and decided to leave.
Today's house is very quiet, he went straight to the backyard from the weeping flower gate, to his main house, pushed open the door and walked around the east and west rooms, empty, and there was no spring willow.
was about to go to Brother Huan'er's side, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a few small items on the kang--
The key to the small house, the token to Yun Xiu, two letters, he wrote a letter of release to his wife and a letter of divorce from Qin Qingsu.
Ling Xiao panicked, turned around and went to the main house of Pingkang County, only to see the nurse and Brother Huan.
He asked if the grandmother had come back?
The nurse shook her head again and again: "The slave just took the little boy to bask in the sun, and no one has come." “
Ling Xiao's heart sank suddenly, scolded rudely, and vigorously lifted the curtain.
He himself went to the stable to choose the best horse, rushed out, and searched all the places he could find, but still did not find it.
??
At the end of the Changchun Garden meeting, it was already dark, the lord of Pingkang and the old marquis went back to their homes happily, they didn't see the little couple, and asked the steward of the front yard, saying that the little marquis went out to find someone and didn't return.
"I knew that he was going to find Yun Xiu," the county lord of Pingkang sat in the study and drank tea, and his good mood suddenly decreased, "You too, Yun Xiu's temper is used to by the two of you, running out all day long, how many guests will be in the hall today, she is gone, there are no rules." “
"Okay, okay, you don't have to say a word," the old marquis knocked on the table, "Ling Xiao doesn't like to listen to these things the most." “
"I don't like to hear it, I can't say it as a mother?" The county lord of Pingkang was dissatisfied, "Look, eighty percent hid in the small dilapidated house to take Qiao, and I have to ask Brother Xiao three times and four times to go back." “
"Is it interesting that you squeeze her all day long?" Ling Xiao came back from outside, listened to it, suppressed his anger and resentment, and shook the blood beads on his fingertips.
When the lord of Pingkang saw his son bleeding, he was frightened, got up and touched his arm, and found that the purple sleeves were wet, turned over his hand, and it was full of blood, and exclaimed: "Son, where are you hurt?!" Come and see! “
"You don't need to find a doctor," Ling Xiao covered his painful left shoulder, and restrained the old marquis, "Dad, Yun Xiu is gone, he will go by himself, if you don't come back tomorrow, you can borrow me all the way to Yangzhou to find someone." “
"Son, you don't care about the others," Lord Pingkang was so worried that he grabbed him, "Yun Xiu will leave if you want to, our Hou Mansion is still afraid that we won't find a good girl, so you??"
What else was said later, the county lord suddenly lost her voice, she was silent for a moment, and let out a scream.
Without warning, Ling Xiao splashed a mouthful of blood on her face, and even the old marquis was stunned.
Wound tear for sure, anxious heart, tired, high fever, lethargy?? Everything broke out in a concentrated manner, and the military doctor lived in the mansion, plus two imperial doctors, prescribing medicine, boiling medicine, applying it externally and taking it internally, and did not dare to relax for a moment.
Ling Xiao woke up and fell asleep, and there was a figure in and out of his dreams.
The sun is shining outside Daming Temple, he stands on the quiet path, a ray of sunlight through the shade of the trees, mottled on Yun Xiu's face reflects the warm velvet gold, vibrant, clean eyes of the girl, reminiscent of the cicada noisy summer, the same bright.
That light, the key to his heart.
Later, he found out that she was a woman who loved and hated clearly, which was very good.
The first time, he took her to eat roasted sheep, and the stretching lawn moved slightly, and Yun Xiu was so frightened that she lost her face and screamed that there were snakes.
He especially wanted to laugh, deliberately despised her, bullied her, and liked her more and more.
When Yun Xiu gave birth, he listened to the screams in the house, his hands and legs trembled, the six gods had no owner, and he panicked in his heart, for fear that something would happen.
There is only one thought at the moment, Yun Xiu is alive, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't want children for the rest of his life.
Ling Xiao didn't know what he had done wrong, he couldn't figure it out, he thought that if it was a few boxes of dim sum, it would be over, why should he leave?
The old marquis came a few times and left again, and he didn't want to talk when he was awake.
When I wanted to say it again, I found that my voice was hoarse, burning, or dumb, and I had no way of knowing.
In the middle of the night, he woke up, shaking his shoulders and weeping silently.
He thought, Yun Xiu didn't want him. I don't even want a son??
It's really a cold-blooded and hard-hearted woman.
??
A month later, Ling Xiao recovered most of his injuries, and took it upon himself to ask Cui Shangshu to add him to the list of the second batch of expeditions, but Gu Fanshuang tried his best to stop him.
The lord of Pingkang County was almost frightened by his son, he had a headache and fell ill, and he lay in bed to recuperate for half a month, remembering that he hadn't seen Ling Xiao for a while, and asked Qiu's mother to invite him, only to learn that he had been leaving for a few days, and he was sick again.
Ling Xiao felt that his voice was wasted, even if he regained his voice, it would be a broken voice, so it was better to shut up, so he tried to talk less and not speak.
Because he couldn't speak, he was extremely fierce. The knife is deadly, especially during the night attack, it has never missed, and once made the enemy frightened, known as the "living Hades".
In Qin Ying's eyes, Ling Xiao's change seemed to happen overnight, and only he knew if it wasn't.
Anyway, if you don't have a good voice, you don't speak, you don't talk, and it becomes the norm.
After returning to Beijing for half a year, Ling Xiao took a few meritorious deeds, and when he faced the saint, the emperor read that he had a bad voice, and allowed him to kowtow silently, without having to say anything.
When Gu Fanshuang learned that he had returned to Beijing, he specially sent him to the Tai Hospital to prepare throat lozenges that specialized in throat treatment. was thrown out of the wall by Ling Xiao in front of him.
The second expedition and the return to Beijing were nearly a year later.
Gu Fanshuang followed from the gate of the Hou Mansion to the Hanging Flower Gate, and Ling Xiao stood on the steps and stopped.
She thought he had a change of heart and took the initiative to speak: "I told you everything I know, don't blame me?" You don't talk to me, I understand, why don't you even reply to letters, I really didn't do anything, why don't you believe me? “
Ling Xiao glanced at her condescendingly, snorted, raised his foot and stepped into the threshold, never stopping.
This time, he didn't know anyone, even the old marquis knew the next day.
The county lord of Pingkang couldn't wait to cry blindly, lying on the sickbed, scolding Ling Xiao for being a white-eyed wolf, and his heart, liver and lungs were poached away by Yun Xiu.
In the third year of the Battle of Yangguan, the largest and most difficult of the three cities, coupled with the enemy's stubborn resistance, the battle continued to make no progress for several months.
In the end, Ling Xiao signed the life and death certificate, led a team of dead soldiers, and sneaked into the city wall in the middle of the night, killed the gatekeeper general, and broke through the city gate.
However, the people in the city had already evacuated, and the enemy troops left behind set up layers of hidden passages, fighting desperately, and finally suffered a slaughter of the city with a numerical inferiority.
When Ling Xiao killed the red eyes and counted the corpses, he stood under the red sun, looking at the devastation and the little gunsmoke, he didn't know what to think, until Qin Ying shouted and left, he came back to his senses and followed the troops out of the city.
The Battle of Yangguan consumed a lot of material and financial resources, if it wasn't for the success of Ling Xiao's surprise attack, the grain and grass in the army would have been supported for five days at most, and the rear support would have been cut off long ago.
They narrowly won, but they didn't take much advantage.
On the way back to the court, the class was starving, homeless people could be seen everywhere, the treasury was empty, and it was a lot of money to rebuild the captured cities.
However, the outside is like a purgatory on earth, which does not affect the prosperity of Yanjing in the slightest. The city gates were wide open to greet the triumphant heroes, and the voices of the people were full of voices, and they were soft and red.
When Ling Xiao dismounted, Gu Fanshuang didn't dare to come forward to recognize him.
His cheeks are thin and angular, the corners of his mouth are sunken, and his deep eyes are dead, even if he walks in the warm spring sun, he still looks like a dark shadow, and he has no chance with the light.
Brother Huan'er is still half a year younger than four years old, and the nurse and mother-in-law can't control it.
At noon, the little cub ran to the study in the front yard to dig mud, and it was not enough to make a dirty face, so he grabbed the mud and threw it into the lotus pot, which scared the carp and goldfish to swim around.
The old marquis heard movement outside. Knowing that his grandson is coming, he doesn't want to care anymore.
Brother Huan'er is not afraid of the sky and the earth except for Ling Xiao.
The mother-in-law pulled him to take a bath, he kicked and beaten, broke into the study, hugged the old marquis's legs, and shouted: "Grandfather, I don't want to take a bath!" “
The old marquis sighed and looked at him with a smile, "If you don't wash it now, your father will come back later, and he will wash it for you." “
Brother Huan immediately let go, twisted his body and ran out, shouting in a milky voice, "Hurry up and prepare hot water!" Come on, come on! Close the door and shut Daddy out! “
The nurse couldn't cry or laugh, teasing Brother Huan, "The minions don't dare to close the door." “
Brother Huan immediately saw the wind and rudder: "Quickly help me take a bath." “
In short, he washed incense, changed into clean clothes, and when he had dinner, he hugged Ling Xiao's arm and flattered: "I like Daddy the most." “
Ling Xiao glanced at it and stuffed a meatball into his mouth.
Brother Huan'er hadn't finished chewing his mouth yet, and when he saw Ling Xiao picking up the second meatball, he took the initiative to open his mouth, ah--
Ling Xiao ignored it and ate it himself.
Brother Huan was bored with himself, kneeling on the couch and eating the food in a small bowl.
Then he started talking again, "Daddy." “
Ling Xiao tried his best to keep his voice low, "Huh? “
"I don't like Aunt Gu." Brother Huan pouted his little ass and twisted around.
Ling Xiao asked, "Why?" “
"I just don't like it." Brother Huan spread out his palms and blows, "She hit me." “
Ling Xiao asked again: "Why did you beat you?" “
Brother Huan was straightforward: "She asked me to take a nap, I didn't want to sleep, so she beat me." “
"Eat," Ling Xiao was too lazy to listen to trivial matters, disgusted with noise, "Eat without saying anything." “
Brother Huan obediently shut up and continued to eat his own.
At night, he climbed onto Ling Xiao's bed like a dog's legs, covered the small quilt, and waited for his father to blow out the lamp and sleep.
