Chapter 140: The Heart of a Parent
In the summer of April, in some kind of camp outside Puyang City.
On the road in the field, Lu Ren, who looked weak, was sitting in a wheelchair...... That's right, it's a wheelchair, but it's all wooden, and the style is a bit like the kind that Zhuge Liang often sits in film and television dramas. There are craftsmen in Puyang City, and it is not a matter for Lu Ren to get one out for fun.
However, this wooden wheelchair is not really comfortable to sit on, and it should not be compared with modern wheelchairs. Not to mention anything else, most modern wheelchairs travel on smooth and smooth roads, and there will be no bumps, but Lu Ren is on the country road in ancient times at this time, and the feeling of being a little bumpy from time to time is really not ordinary.
But Lu Ren, who would do so, had to force himself to lie in a wheelchair. I had no choice, I told people that I would not be able to get off the ground for about a month, but the matter of Tuntian was not sloppy, so I had to sit in a wheelchair as a patient and go to the field to inspect.
And at this time, Lu Ren's body was full of injuries, although they were only some skin injuries that were not serious, but with the medical level at that time, he could only wrap bandages around his body, making Lu Ren almost half a mummy, how uncomfortable and uncomfortable he was.
The only advantage is that this wheelchair can be equipped with a large umbrella to block the scorching sun after summer. What makes Lu Ren happy is that when he goes out now, the people he sees will cast very respectful glances at Lu Ren.
After turning around for a while, Wan'er, who pushed Lu Ren, looked at the sky, then leaned over and whispered to Lu Ren: "Lord, it's not early, let's go back early." ”
Lu Ren nodded, everything is normal in cultivation now, and there is indeed nothing that he needs to worry about, so it's not bad to go back early and be lazy. It's just that after glancing back at Wan'er, Lu Ren couldn't help frowning and said, "Wan'er, why don't you wear those clothes I gave you?" ”
"Huh? Ahh......h Now I have to push the Lord to patrol everywhere every day, and it is too easy to get dirty, and Wan'er is reluctant to wear it. In fact, there is nothing bad about ordinary maid clothes, and it is convenient to do things. ”
Lu Ren didn't say anything after hearing it. Lu Ren is not a stupid person, he has long realized that since he escaped from Tianfu that day, Wan'er has become a little worried, and even vaguely began to keep a certain distance from Lu Ren. As for why this happened, Lu Ren felt a little bit in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly.
After a little silence, Lu Ren said again: "Wan'er, you haven't slept with me for several days, isn't it ...... tonight?"
Before he finished speaking, Wan'er shook her head: "Lord, your body is still weak, don't think about these messy things, okay?" Besides, it's summer now, huddled together...... Very familiar. ”
Lu Renxin said that this girl would actually make excuses! Hot? Is it hot enough to have the heat in the fire that day? But seeing Wan'er's refusal, Lu Ren was neither willing nor willing to say anything more, so he had to pull up some inconsequential words.
Without saying anything all the way, Lu Ren and his party returned to Puyang City in the afternoon. was about to go to his residence, but suddenly someone stopped Lu Ren's group, saying that Cao Cao's main room, Mrs. Ding, wanted to invite Lu Ren to sit in the mansion.
Lu Ren was also puzzled by this, and said in his heart that Mrs. Ding was not staying in Juancheng, why did she come to Puyang? Could it be because Cao Ang was "interning" in Puyang, and Mrs. Ding came to Puyang to have a look? It makes sense to say this, but what does Mrs. Ding mean by wanting to see herself? Could it be that because he is Cao Ang's "intern teacher", he wants to find an opportunity to have a relationship with him and let him take care of Cao Ang more?
Anyway, Mrs. Ding is Lu Ren's current proprietor, so she politely invited her over, and she couldn't help but give this face. Originally, I wanted Wan'er and them to go back to their residence first, and they just brought a few entourages over, but the person who came said that Mrs. Ding still wanted to see Wan'er, and asked Lu Ren to bring Wan'er over as well, and Lu Renke felt that something was not quite right.
came to Cao Ang's mansion in a hurry, and soon Lu Ren met Mrs. Ding. In fact, although Mrs. Ding is Cao Cao's main room, she is not Cao Ang's biological mother. Madame Ding herself is said to be infertile, and Cao Ang's biological mother died not long after giving birth to Cao Ang, so Cao Cao gave Cao Ang to Madame Ding to raise. However, one of these two has no children under his knees, and the other has lost his mother since childhood, and when they really get together, the relationship will never be worse than those biological mothers and sons...... Of course, these have nothing to do with Lu Renzhi, but when Lu Ren saw and thought of Cao Ang's two mothers, he was also secretly warning himself in his heart, that is, don't eat Wan'er easily.
Why is this happening? Because Lu Ren found out that Mrs. Ding was actually very young, and in that era, women looked like they were menstruating, and they basically couldn't fake it. In Lu Ren's opinion, Mrs. Ding will definitely not be more than forty years old, and if she goes too far, she may be thirty-five or six years old. And Cao Cao is forty-three years old this year, according to the Han Dynasty, the scholar was twenty years old, and marrying a wife and having children may be a habit earlier, so how old was Mrs. Ding more than 20 years ago? Whether or not you are fifteen years old is a question!
As for the non-childbearing ...... If Lu Ren is concerned, it must be Mrs. Ding, who is not yet mature, but she ran into Cao Cao, who had a strong desire in that regard, and as a result, she went wrong. Didn't Wan'er secretly break the news to Lu Ren, saying that Mrs. Ding was actually pregnant?
Thinking of these, Lu Ren couldn't help but look at Wan'er, and especially felt that Wan'er was still so thin and thin, whether it had developed or not, Lu Ren really didn't know whether it was a little uncertain. If Wan'er was fifteen years old when she followed Lu Ren, then now she is seventeen years old, so there should be no problem, but this nutritional matter...... Anyway, Lu Ren was a little scared.
After the two sides greeted each other with courtesies and courtesies, Mrs. Ding's eyes stayed on Wan'er. After looking at it carefully for a while, Mrs. Ding asked, "Wan'er, you seem to have recognized the concubine for a long time?" ”
Lu Ren has been supported by Wan'er because of his "injury", so as soon as Mrs. Ding came out, Wan'er casually told Lu Ren which one was Mrs. Ding, which was also seen by Mrs. Ding.
Wan'er replied respectfully: "Wan'er was originally from Cao's Mansion, and she has been serving in Cao's Mansion since she was a child, so she knows Madame." ”
Mrs. Ding began to dry Wan'er carefully, and after a long time, she said: "You have a lot of grace and charm, no wonder Lu County Ling will be very fond of you, even my Ang'er will chant a few words in front of the concubine from time to time." ”
A dark cloud appeared in Lu Ren's heart, and he couldn't help but ask, "May I ask Madam, what is the matter with calling Lu Ren here today?" ”
Mrs. Ding looked at Lu Ren and hesitated for a moment before saying: "When Ang'er occasionally goes to Juancheng to visit the concubine, he will talk about Wan'er from time to time, and he has never liked to fiddle with musical instruments, but since he came to Puyang, he has begun to like to collect all kinds of bamboo flutes. Although the concubine is stupid, it can be seen that Ang'er likes Wan'er very much. A few days ago, I heard that Tian Shu had said that she had kidnapped Wan'er, just to transfer Wan'er to Yu Ang'er...... Lu County Order, please come here today, the concubine just wants to discuss with you. ”
“…… What are you discussing!? ”
Mrs. Ding beckoned, and a row of women rushed in, and they were all dressed up and wearing heavy makeup, which made Lu Ren's eyes a little dizzy.
"Husband, ma'am, what do you mean?"
Mrs. Ding sighed lightly: "Lu County Order, you can choose the maids here at will, even if you take them all away, the concubine only wants to exchange this Wan'er from your side." In terms of posture and charm, the concubine thinks that the daughters in this hall are better than Wan'er......"
Lu Ren couldn't think about it: "Don't change!" ”
Mrs. Ding was very surprised and said, "Lu County's order is so resolute? Can't you just take a few more looks before you make a plan? This Wan'er is just an ordinary ......"
Lu Ren waved his hand again and again: "Madam, don't think that I, Lu Ren, have been wandering since I was a child, and I am a person who has never touched a woman." On the contrary, I've met a lot of beautiful women. If I just wanted to have fun, I wouldn't have pampered my family Wan'er like I do now. I don't know if you can understand me when I speak like this, that is, the feelings between people are often not clear in a few words, and my love for Wan'er is not just as simple as pampering. ”
Mrs. Ding's face changed a little: "Lu County Order, can't you pity the poor concubine's heart as a mother?" ”
If people in this era really want to argue with Lu Ren about this kind of issue, it will be self-inflicted humiliation. As a person in modern society who has been poisoned by all kinds of bitter dramas and soap operas, is it not the right thing to talk about these things?
"I know what it means to 'pity the hearts of parents in the world', but feelings are selfish and can't be forced. If I swap Wan'er out, it looks like I'll get a bunch of beautiful women back, but I'll be a soulless walking corpse myself. I will be sad, Wan'er will be sad, and as a result, Wan'er and I will be in pain for a long time. I, Lu Ren, am not a good person, this matter will make you sad in your heart, madam, I really can't take care of it! ”
Mrs. Ding didn't expect Lu Ren to say such a thing, and she was speechless for a while, so she could only refer to Lu Ren and said, "You, you ......"
Lu Ren was also a little angry, and his words were no longer so polite: "Madam, don't force me!" That day, I dared to rush into Tian's house to kill people and set fire to Wan'er in order to save Wan'er, and today I dare to abandon my official position and take Wan'er away and fly away. This is not an official, it doesn't matter to me at all, it's what I want to be in the world with a girl I love with each other. ”
"...... you" Mrs. Ding really couldn't say anything anymore when she ran into Lu Ren.
Lu Ren looked at Wan'er beside him again, pouted and said, "Wan'er, are you willing to follow me, or do you want to enter the Cao Mansion again to enjoy the honor?" If you choose the latter, I will not stop you. ”
Wan'er lowered her head, as if she had made a lot of determination before raising her head to Lu Ren, but her expression seemed to be a little like in the fire that day: "Why does the Lord ask again?" Wan'er just wants to stay by the Lord's side, and nothing else wants to do. ”
Suddenly, Cao Ang's voice came from outside the door: "Mother, what are you doing here?" ”
(It's boring, but I have to write it twice...... There must be a break between Cao Ang and Wan'er. )
