Chapter 357: Reunion after a long absence
A carriage slowly drove out of Yuan Shang's mansion and slowly drove towards the north of Yecheng.
There was no one else on the carriage, only Yuan Shang and Xiahou Juan sat silently on both sides of the car, Yuan Shang's face was calm, his head looked at the roof of the car, his eyes were full of unprecedented calm, while Xiahou Juan lowered his head, his face was red and white, and a pair of Qianqian Su hands hidden in the water sleeves were tightly clenched, as if he was wandering out of the world, restless, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking in his head.
Xiahou Juan's nervous situation unconsciously fell into Yuan Shang's eyes, he lowered his head slightly, and looked at Xiahou Juan silently for a while before asking.
"What, feeling so uncomfortable? He is your uncle, your relative, although he is not his own father, but he is better than his own father, are you still so nervous to meet such a person? ”
Xiahou Juan shook his head, sighed faintly, and said, "That's not the case, I'm just ...... I don't know how to face him......."
"What's not to face? Is it hard? ”
Xiahou Juan smiled bitterly and said, "From my current position, the wife of Yuan Shang, the lord of Hebei....... the wife of the enemies of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan... What do you think I can do? ”
Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "Juan'er, you think too much, after all, those things are between men, and they have nothing to do with you women, no matter what kind of relationship I have with Xiahou Yuan, you are his most beloved niece after all, incomparable, blood relatives are better than everything, believe me, Xiahou Yuan will not be so ignorant." I promise! ”
While speaking, the carriage had already driven to the place, which was a small mansion in the north of Yecheng, located in a quiet place, outside the open and in the dark, there were heavy guards of the Yuan army, but they were only guards, and they did not affect the lives of the people in the courtyard at all. That's all.
Yuan Shang helped Xiahou Juan get out of the carriage, and then he was about to lead her to the courtyard, just arrived at the door of the house, but saw Xiahou Juan behind him suddenly standing in place, hard as a wooden stake, as if he didn't know how to move.
Yuan Shang shook his head helplessly, hugged Xiahou Juan with his broad arms, as if to give her strength, and then grabbed Xiahou Juan's hand tightly with his hand, and slowly pulled her into the mansion.
The environment in the house is very good. There are flowers, trees, rockeries, and even a small pond dug by the population, in which there are some small goldfish, which gather and disperse, and swim slowly back and forth.
Xiahou Yuan stood on the edge of the pond, without the armor on his body when Yuan Shang met him in the past. He was just dressed in a light blue linen shirt, with a square scarf on his head, which seemed to match his big bearded face, and his attention was all focused on the fish in the pond at the moment. His eyes were misty, as if he was thinking about something, and he was unaware of the entry of Yuan Shang and Xiahou Juan.
As soon as Xiahou Juan saw Xiahou Yuan, his whole body trembled. The small lips were pursed tightly, as if they wanted to say something, but as if they were suppressed by some unknown force. I couldn't open my mouth again, I just stood there fixedly, at a loss.
"Go ahead, say hello......" Yuan Shang smiled and patted her on the shoulder, encouraging words.
Xiahou Juan slowly turned her head, looked at Yuan Shang's glasses, as if she had found strength in her man's eyes, she took a deep breath, took a step, and walked silently to the edge of the pond, mustering up her courage, and finally spoke slowly.
"Uncle.......
This affectionate salutation seemed to bring the wandering Xiahou Yuan back to reality, he turned around, looked at the direction from which the voice came from suspiciously, and at the moment when he saw Xiahou Juan's cheeks, he couldn't help but tremble, and his mouth grew up, as if he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
"Trickle... Juan'er! Xiahou Yuan's face suddenly revealed a joy that Yuan Shang had never seen before, he strode forward, hugged Xiahou Juan in his arms, and said tremblingly: "Juan'er! It's really you! It's really you! That's great! That's great! Uncle... Uncle finally sees you again! ”
After Xiahou Yuan's embrace, Xiahou Juan finally couldn't restrain the emotions in his heart, and tears flowed down his cheeks like a spring drizzle, and he couldn't restrain it at all.
"Uncle! Juan'er... Juan'er....Juan'er thought she would never see you again! … Uncle! ”
Although Xiahou Yuan did not shed tears, his tiger eyes were also slightly reddened, and this famous general who was famous for his popularity was revealing unprecedented gentleness at this moment.
"Silly boy! Nothing to see again! Uncle, this is not a good place! Uncle is stiff and strong! There is no problem at all to live for him to be seventy or eighty years old! It's you, alone in Hebei, are you still doing well? Yuan... Did he bully you? ”
Xiahou Juan hid in Xiahou Yuan's arms and cried while shaking his head vigorously: "No, no, husband...... Husband, he is very kind to me... It's really superb... And little Yuan Yi... It's been two months old... Uncle... I have a baby... I have kids......"
Xiahou Yuan nodded heavily, full of emotion: "Okay, good!" Our little Juan has a baby... It's all mothers...... Yuan Shang's kid... Just be nice to you... Even if I didn't misunderstand him at the beginning, seeing that you are now a husband and a child, and you are doing so well, my uncle and I will be relieved...... It's also that I'm worthy of your dead father....Uncle is worthy of them. ”
The uncle and nephew were full of emotion, hugged each other and cried, Yuan Shang came over quietly unconsciously, arched his hand at Xiahou Yuan with a smile, and said: "Zhangren, Juan'er is here with me, you can rest assured, I will not only be good to her now, ten years, twenty years, fifty years, how many years will be the same, the same, I dare not guarantee that she will have a smooth sail for a lifetime, but I will definitely make her happy for a lifetime, you can rest assured." ”
Xiahou Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Shang, and nodded, as if he was very satisfied with Yuan Shang's words.
However, the words that came out of his mouth seemed to be less agreeable.
"What are you doing here, get out of here!"
Yuan Shang's face suddenly turned over.
"Hey~! You don't make sense, I just talked to you about it, why do you talk like that? What does it mean to be polite? Besides, you said that you didn't mistake me just now, why did you turn your face like this? ”
Xiahou Yuan snorted coldly and said, "I mean I didn't misunderstand you, but I didn't say that I would like you and accept you, do you have any opinions?" ”
"Father-in-law, what you said is inconsistent and self-deceptive."
"Who is your father-in-law? Get lost! ”
"Whether you admit it or not, you are Juan'er's uncle like her biological father, Juan'er is my wife, according to the reason, you are my father-in-law, there is nothing to blame."
"Your sister! Get lost! ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "If you are sister-in-law, I should call my sister-in-law, if you want, it doesn't matter if I call it so." ”
"You ......." Xiahou Yuan's face turned purple, and he pointed at Yuan Shang, wanting to scold two swear words, but he couldn't scold.
"Uncle, don't!" Xiahou Juan hurriedly walked between the two and stared at Xiahou Yuan with a pleading gaze.
As soon as Xiahou Yuan saw Xiahou Juan, his heart suddenly softened.
"Forget it, the past is over, no matter what, you are also Juan'er's husband, I, as an elder, if I blindly can't get along with you, won't I fall behind......."
When he said this, he saw that his tone suddenly hardened again.
"However, if you want to make me surrender with Juan'er, I tell you, you can't do it! No way! ”
Yuan Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "I never said that you would surrender, nor did I ever think of using Juan Er to force you to submit, I just wanted to tell you that we are enemies on the battlefield, but here, we are a family, Juan'er and I are here today to invite you to our house for a reunion dinner as a daughter and son-in-law, and by the way, let you see your little granddaughter, this is not too much, right?" ”
Xiahou Juan nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, my husband and he set up a banquet in the mansion at night, all of them are our own family, there are no outsiders, and his mother will also be present, uncle, you are my only elder relative, since I got married, we will still meet our in-laws, right?" ”
Xiahou Yuan was stunned when he heard this, silently glanced at Xiahou Juan, then looked at Yuan Shang, and said, "Really... Is it to eat a family meal? ”
Yuan Shang spread his hands helplessly and said: "Don't worry, it's a family meal, nothing else, I don't force you to surrender, I don't force you to serve me, it's just a simple meal, and Yuan's men are strong and strong, and the fierce generals are like clouds, if you want to come over, I still have to think about whether I can use you." ”
"Fart!" Xiahou Yuan took a sip fiercely, then turned his head to look at Xiahou Juan who was expectant, and said, "Then...you wait, I'll take a shower and change my clothes." ”
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this: "It's just eating, you don't need to be so particular!" ”
"Nonsense! The first time I saw my granddaughter, I had to get all dressed? If you like to wait, if you don't like to wait, get out, let Juan'er wait here alone. ”
Yuan Shang sneered and said helplessly: "Oh, I'm afraid of you, you go quickly, take a bath and rub it, don't rub your bald skin." ”
Xiahou Yuan glanced at Yuan Shang fiercely, then turned around and walked towards his backyard.
After Xiahou Yuan returned to the house, Xiahou Juan immediately turned around, looked at Yuan Shang with grateful eyes, and said lightly: "Husband, thank you, thank you, thank you for everything......
Yuan Shang smiled and waved his hand: "Thank me, I just don't have the same knowledge as him...... It's the only thing I can do to reunite you and your family......."
Speaking of this, Yuan Shang's face suddenly darkened.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Yuan Shang looked up at the sky, his thoughts did not belong, and he was talking to himself.
"We are reunited, but what about Sima Yi...... I don't believe he's dead...... But where is this bastard ......" (to be continued......
