……

When the bloody battle in Langcheng was in full swing, in the governor's mansion of Yuanzhou City, Jiang Xun stood at the window and looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky, sighed heavily, and his always steady and resolute face was full of grief. Vertex Says X 23 U OM

"It's been twenty years, and it's almost this day again, Rui'er, it's your birthday in three days, you're doing well over there, I'm sorry for you for my father......"

Saying that, he closed his eyes painfully and recalled the past twenty years ago, when Jiang Xun was twenty-seven years old.

……

In the Jiang Mansion in Suzhou, Jiang Xun was anxiously pacing back and forth in the outer hall of an elegant room, and there was a heart-rending cry of a woman about to give birth, as well as the comfort of the midwife.

"Wow......"

A loud cry suddenly sounded in the room, and after a while, the midwife ran out sweaty, and said to Jiang Xun with a happy face.

"Congratulations to the young master, congratulations to the young master, Mrs. Shi is born, she is a little son, and the mother and son are safe and sound......"

"Really? It's great......" Hearing the midwife waiting, Jiang Xun ran into the inner hall excitedly.

When Jiang Xun saw Shi Yunlan with a tired face and the newborn baby boy next to his pillow, he couldn't help but feel emotional, and hurriedly came to comfort him: "Madam, thank you for your hard work, and you have added people to my Jiang family......

Mrs. Shi gently held Jiang Xun's hand, looked at the child next to the pillow with a kind face, and said: "Husband, the concubine has finally lived up to her mission over the years, and has given you the inheritance of the Jiang family, and the concubine is also physically and mentally stable, I ......" said Mrs. Shi to get up.

Jiang Xun hurriedly stopped: "Madame, don't move, lie down and rest well......

As he spoke, he looked at the child next to the pillow, and couldn't help but hug it, only to see the baby in his arms stretching his mouth and closing his eyes tightly.

Mrs. Shi smiled: "Look at you, it's not the first time you've been a father, and you still look like this......

Jiang Xunle said: "This is my son, can I not be happy?" ”

When the maids around saw the young master's appearance, they couldn't help but laugh lightly.

"Husband, let's give our child a name......" Mrs. Shi saw Jiang Xun's happy face, and at the same time reminded her loudly.

When Jiang Xun heard this, he paced back and forth in the house with the child in his arms, and then he had a flash of inspiration and said loudly: "Look at this child's face, smart and clever, just call him Jiang Rui, right?" What do you think, Madame?"

Mrs. Shi nodded: "Jiang Rui, a good name, the husband will depend on you, and in the future, we will have children called Jiang Rui......"

The baby boy in Jiang Xun's arms seemed to agree, and actually laughed lightly.

"Rui'er, my Rui'er, hahaha......" Jiang Xun laughed happily.

……

"Rui'er ......"

Thinking of this, Jiang Xun's eyes were already red, and tears involuntarily flowed down his cheeks......

……

On the day of Jiang Rui's full moon, Jiang's mansion was full of guests, and countless nobles came to congratulate him, and gifts alone filled a whole two-story room.

"Dad, what did you say? Do you want to pass Rui'er to the Mo family? Why is that? I don't promise! ”

In Jiang Yan's room, Jiang Xun heard that Jiang Yan wanted to pass Jiang Rui to others, and he was very reluctant.

Jiang Yan smiled and said: "You are stupid, the Mo family is hereditary Sir Hou, and I am a family friend, but unfortunately the Mo family and his wife have no children under their knees, if there are no children, the next generation will not be able to take the position of marquis, this is a major loss to my Jiang family, my grandson will definitely not suffer a loss to them, they will definitely treat it as their own, not to mention ......"

Jiang Yan paused and said: "When the wife of the Hou Ye is also pregnant, if the baby boy is born, Rui'er can be sent back to the house for reunion, if it is a baby girl, then it will come to the Jiang family, and the marriage in the future will not be close to each other, and there will be a lot less estrangement between the two sides, and Rui'er can also get the position of marquis because of this, isn't it beautiful......"

"But, Dad......" Jiang Xun still hesitated.

Jiang Yan saw him like this and said: "Okay, this matter is settled, you have to think about my entire Jiang family, Mo Hou Ye is outside the hall now, I will go and tell him now, this matter is settled." ”

……

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Don't cry ......"

In the Jiang Mansion in Suzhou, Mrs. Shi, who recalled the past at the same time, was also in tears, and the young Jiang on the side couldn't help comforting her, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes by the way.

At this moment, Jiang Ruoyan walked into the room and saw her mother's appearance, she also looked lonely, and said with relief: "Mother, do you think of the fourth brother again?" ”

Seeing Jiang Ruoyan coming in, Mrs. Shi hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and looked at her, sighed, slowly stretched out her hand, and motioned for Jiang Ruoyan to come over.

Jiang Ruoyan took her mother's hand and snuggled up to Mrs. Shi's arms with Jiang Wei.

"You're all good boys......"

Mrs. Shi's mind drifted irrepressibly back to twenty years ago......

"What do you say! Say it again! What's wrong with Hou Ye and his party?"

"Young Master Hui, madam, Lord Hou encountered a large number of Yingkou attacks on the way back to the capital, but fortunately, Master Hou and they are safe and sound, and they have already embarked on the ship on the way back, but they are ......"

"Just what, say!"

"Young master, it's just that the fourth prince has already ...... Already...... The nurse who held him was killed by Yingnu, and the fourth son is probably ...... Please mourn ......"

"Rui'er, my Rui'er......"

Jiang Xun, who heard the bad news, stood stunned on the spot, and Mrs. Shi fainted immediately, but fortunately she was supported by the maid beside her.

"Madame...... Madame......"

Jiang Xun endured his grief, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Shi, and after a series of busy work, Mrs. Shi slowly woke up.

"Rui'er, my Rui'er...... Husband, where is our Rui'er, I want to see my Rui'er! ”

Facing Mrs. Shi's heart-rending cry, Jiang Xun lowered his head and stopped talking, he was now extremely annoyed and remorseful.

"You return my Rui'er, husband, you promised me, our Rui'er will be safe, and we will be safe......"

Mrs. Shi was like crazy, constantly pulling and patting Jiang Xun's body, Jiang Xun didn't move, and let her tear ......

"Madam, calm down......" Seeing that his wife was getting more and more crazy, Jiang Xun finally couldn't help but grab her shoulders, stopped her from continuing to tear, and said: "Our Rui'er is gone, madam, our Rui'er is gone......" Jiang Xun couldn't restrain himself anymore, tears flowed, and he cried loudly.

Mrs. Shi was stunned, then shook her head and said, "No, I don't believe it!" I absolutely don't believe it! I want to see the corpse when I die, I don't believe that Rui'er is no longer there, husband, you hurry up and send someone to find it, hurry up, even if the concubine begs you! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, find, someone is coming, ...... someone is coming" Jiang Xun was woken up by Mrs. Shi's words, and immediately went to the accident site to find out the whereabouts of his child......

However, for more than a month, in addition to the corpses left by the surrounding fighting with Yingnu, how can there be the shadow of Jiang Rui, the infant boy? In the end, it was determined that Jiang Rui was devoured by a wandering wild dog.

After Mrs. Shi learned the news, it was like a bolt from the blue, and she was sick for more than three months before she slowly improved.

……

"Alas, I'm sorry for you for my father......"

Jiang Xun looked at the snowflakes falling outside and sighed again.

"If I had sworn to die and did not obey my father's wishes that day, there would not have been so many things, and you would have grown up safely, and it is time for you to start a family now......"

Jiang Xun regretted his decision that day, and then thought of Jiang Ruoyan.

……

"Young Master Jiang, this is the daughter of the eldest lady of my family, just after the full moon, he ordered the old slave to send it all the way, he was very guilty for not being able to protect the little master, he didn't have the face to see you, and he was specially ordered to bring the daughter to pass on to you, from now on this child is your Jiang family, and the Mo family has nothing to do with it, this is her birthday, the sixth ...... of the first month of June."

In the Jiang Mansion in Suzhou, the housekeeper of the Ping'an Hou Mansion in the capital carried a large number of rare treasures, and the nurse stood in front of Jiang Xun with a newborn baby girl, and more than a year had passed since Jiang Rui was killed.

Just when Jiang Xun didn't know whether to take over the baby girl, Mrs. Shi calmly took the baby girl from the Hou Mansion nurse and held it in her arms and said to Jiang Xun: "Husband, this girl is what our Rui'er exchanged for her life, leave her, we treat her as our own flesh and blood, and raise her in the future, so let's forgive our decisions, it can be regarded as a trace of thought left by Rui'er, do you say okay......"

"Madam, are you really willing to ......" Seeing that Mrs. Shi was so open-minded, Jiang Xun felt guilty and moved at the same time.

Mrs. Shi looked at the sleeping baby girl, a hint of maternal love appeared in her eyes, and she smiled softly: "Husband, you see, this child is so beautiful, she will definitely be a great beauty in the future, let's teach her the best everything, okay......"

"Everything is at Madame's ......"

Jiang Xun knew that Mrs. Shi had been immersed in the pain of losing her child for the past year, and she had been washing her face with tears all day long, and now she was relieved to see that she was willing to accept this child.

"Husband, let's give our child a name......

Hearing Mrs. Shi speak, Jiang Xun looked at the baby girl's fair and transparent face, shook his head, and said to Mrs. Shi: "Let's ask Mrs. to choose a name......

Mrs. Shi was also born in Shimen Guivale, and she has also been knowledgeable since she was a child, listening to Jiang Xun say this, she carefully looked at the fetus in her arms, and said for a long time: "It's called Ruoyan, right?" ”

"Ruoyan, Jiang Ruoyan, okay, from today onwards, she will be called Jiang Ruoyan, and she is my Jiang Xun's biological daughter! I will treat her as my own, and I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance, and I will definitely find the best son in the world for her when I marry in the future! ”

……

"Yan'er ......" Thinking of this, Mrs. Shi called softly......

When Jiang Ruoyan heard this, she looked up at Mrs. Shi: "Mother, you called me?"

Mrs. Shi stroked her hair, her eyes were full of doting: "Mother just misses you......"

Fortunately, ten years ago, Mrs. Shi gave birth to another son, which is now Jiang Jin, which can be regarded as alleviating her pain of losing her child.

The more she feels guilty about Jiang Rui, the more she loves Jiang Ruoyan, only in this way will she feel better in her heart, even after having Jiang Rui, she still loves Jiang Ruoyan the most......

Jiang Ruoyan smiled: "Mother, am I not by your side?" ”

When Mrs. Shi heard this, she took her back into her arms again: "As soon as the first lunar month passes, you are going to leave again, and my mother is reluctant to let you ......"

Jiang Ruoyan said: "Mother, I will come back to see you every year......"

Mrs. Shi sighed: "You are not young, it's time to get married, and the days when you can be by your mother's side are numbered......"

Jiang Ruoyan rubbed into Mrs. Shi's arms, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I won't marry, I will always accompany you......"

Mrs. Shi smiled: "Silly girl, what are you talking about?" If you have a crush on someone, you must bring it back to your mother......"

"Mother......" Jiang Ruoyan snuggled tightly to Mrs. Shi's coquettish voice, and the overlapping figures of the young man and Liu Ce appeared in her mind, and a trace of warmth flowed in her heart.

Mrs. Shi stroked the faces of the two children in her arms, and suddenly said: "After the New Year, I will go to Yuanzhou with you, I haven't seen your father for more than two years, and Qian'er is also ......."
