husband and wife
Her expression was vivid, and she said this vividly and vividly in the sincere demeanor of her husband at that time, and immediately burst into laughter in the hall, and even the two maids standing behind her did not care about etiquette, covered their mouths with their sleeves, and laughed wildly.
Ruozhu didn't laugh himself, and said angrily: "I was so angry that I almost wanted to set it on fire." Then I thought about it, okay, didn't you say I ran fast? Then I'll run to show you! So without saying a word, he brushed his sleeves and left. At first, I thought he would chase me, but he walked very fast, and I thought that if he came running and grabbed my arm, I would have to shake it off...... After a while, I didn't see him chasing after me, I thought it was strange, so I slowed down, but I still didn't hear his footsteps, so I looked back, but I didn't expect to see him at all! Hmph, maybe he thought it was almost meal time, and I was going to have someone prepare the meal. I was immediately furious, and immediately asked people to prepare the car, and here we were. ”
"Well, brother-in-law is really wrong. He's not too young, so he doesn't know how to let you go more, coax you a little, and let you get angry with yourself for no reason. Mrs. Zhang sighed with a smile, took Ruozhu's hand again, patted it lightly and said, "But, seriously, sister, you also have something wrong." For no reason, what is it to ask him this kind of question? What do you want him to say? If he says to save others first, you are naturally dissatisfied, but if he says to save you first, and ignores the old people, so likes the new and hates the old, ruthless and unrighteous, will you be happy to hear it? ”
Ruozhu pouted, "That being said, I just want to know what my status is in his heart!" Sighing, she said abruptly, "Sometimes, I really feel like I'm born at the wrong time. If you were born more than ten years earlier, met him before he married a wife, and then married him as a wife, and the two of them lived together until now, just like your sister and brother-in-law, without estrangement and carefree, wouldn't there be nothing? ”
Hearing the mention of herself, Mrs. Zhang's smile faded a little, and she said to Ruozhu in her heart: "Your brother-in-law and I are not as carefree as you think...... Although he had only one wife and never had a concubine, I never bore him a boy and a girl. He is forty-two years old this year, and I am no longer young, so I am more and more worried, and I always feel ashamed of him, but I wish he could take a concubine as soon as possible, let another woman serve him together, and continue the bloodline for him. ”
Ruozhu asked, "Is the brother-in-law willing to take a concubine?" ”
"If I wanted to, would I still be so troubled now?" Mrs. Zhang smiled bitterly, "Once, I chose a beautiful little lady for him." One day, let this little lady dress up and go to Junshi's study to serve. Who knew that after she went in, Junshi didn't look at her, just focused on reading. The little lady wanted to attract his attention, so she took a book and asked him aloud, 'What kind of book is this, 'Bachelor?' Junshi glanced at the book, then bowed his hand to her, and replied, "This is the Book of Shang." After that, he continued to read and ignored her. The little lady had no choice but to quit and tell me about it. At that time, I thought that maybe it was because I was at home, and Junshi had concerns, so it was not easy to get close to her. A few days later, I went out early under the pretext of going to my relatives and friends' homes to enjoy the flowers. The little lady went to the academy to offer tea to Jun Shi in beautiful makeup, but Jun Shi was displeased when she saw her, and scolded her: 'This person! Yuanjun is not in the house today, what are you doing here? ’”
Ruozhu smiled when she heard this, and comforted Mrs. Zhang again: "Regarding the matter of the heir, since the brother-in-law has no intention of forcing it, why should my sister mind?" Moreover, I heard that he had taken the sons of his people as heirs. The brother-in-law's reluctance to take a concubine shows that he has a deep love for his sister, which is really enviable. If I want to take a concubine for someone, he will not ask for it. Two days ago, he accompanied me out to watch the lanterns, and he blindly stared at the long-necked beauty on the lamp shadow, which shows that he is also a womanizer, and I don't know how much anger I will suffer from it in the future! ”
Mrs. Zhang was surprised: "Do you have an opinion on him looking at a light shadow?" Isn't that too much heart? As a minister of the court, he is willing to accompany his wife to go out to watch the lanterns, which is already very good, you still have a lot of complaints, don't you know the blessing in the blessing? ”
After hearing this, the princess asked Mrs. Zhang: "Could it be that Master Sima never accompanied Mrs. to watch the lanterns?" ”
"Isn't it!" At the mention of this matter, Mrs. Zhang's eyebrows also had a little resentment, "Every time I celebrate the festival, he will not accompany me to go out to play." One year, when it was also Shangyuan Festival, I wanted to go out to watch the lanterns, and when I told him, he asked me, 'Why go out to see the lights at home?' So I explained: 'I also want to see the people on the street.' When he heard this, he glared at me and said, 'Am I not a man, but a ghost?' ’”
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed again. Mrs. Zhang asked Ruozhu again: "Look, if you can choose, are you willing to pick a dull wood like Junshi again, or continue to live with your brother-in-law?" ”
Ruozhu thought about it, although he was silent, but he lowered his head and couldn't stop laughing, the answer was obvious.
Mrs. Zhang sighed softly again and said, "How can there be a husband and wife in the world where everything is perfect? There are many couples who seem to be very good in the eyes of others, raising their eyebrows, loving and loving, and harmonious and beautiful, but the hidden feelings can only be cold and warm and self-aware. But is it just because there is a slight deficiency in the marriage that it will not go down? Even if you raise a peony plant, you have to take care of it patiently every day in order to bloom a pleasing tweed. Some couples have resentment against each other and feel that they can't get along with each other, which may be due to the lack of patience for watering and removing insects...... Your husband is talented and talented, and his appearance and temperament are rare in the world, so Ling Zun loves this son-in-law so much, and married you to your sister after she died. There are thousands of men and women in the world, and it is a rare fate for the two of you to be married, and you should cherish it. What's more, in the past two years, he can also be said to have taken good care of you and taken care of you, so why are you still dissatisfied? Even if some small things make you unhappy, you might as well take more care of them, and be a little more generous. If you are often angry about half a word, it will hurt your feelings for a long time. ”
Ruozhu listened with his head down, and did not refute, and only spoke after a long time, but instead of talking about his own business, he smiled at the princess and me, and said, "There may not be no perfect husband and wife in the world, right?" I think they're very good, they only have each other in their eyes, and they get along so well. ”
When the princess heard this, she immediately objected: "No, we also have problems - sometimes I ask him to do something for me but he refuses, and I beg him!" ”
Mrs. Zhang asked, "Is it because what you want him to do is not very good, so that Lang Jun is so embarrassed?" ”
Ruozhu said, "But if you insist, in the end, he will still agree to you, right?" ”
The princess was surprised and asked, "How do you know?" ”
Ruozhu and Mrs. Zhang both laughed and turned to me. I lowered my head and continued to smile and remain silent, and a cloudy thought flashed in my heart: "Actually, our biggest problem is that we are not husband and wife at all, and it is impossible to be married in this life." ”
But my gloom did not last long, when I was interrupted by the neighing of horses downstairs.
Mrs. Zhang got up and went to the window to visit, then turned her head with a smile and said to Ruozhu: "To tell you the truth, I received your letter today, and when I saw that you wrote so seriously, I was very surprised that I didn't know the details, so I went to your house first and asked my brother-in-law." He told me that he was joking with you at the time, but he didn't expect you to take it seriously, and when you ran out, he didn't react for a while, so he didn't chase you out. Then I made an appointment with him that I would come to see you first, and then he would come and pick you up. Now that he's downstairs, take your breath and go back with him. ”
The princess and I immediately went to the window to look, and sure enough, there was a scribe standing downstairs leaning on a horse, wearing a cape-like sweater with a hood, which obscured most of his face, so that it was impossible to see his face clearly, but he could still be felt to be graceful and polite.
Ruozhu hesitated, but still moved to the window and looked at it. When the scribe saw her, he immediately whispered to her, "Lady, it's late at night, let's go home." ”
He was obviously afraid of the people around him, so he didn't dare to call out loudly.
Ruozhu listened, the corners of his lips twitched, turned around and took Ah Di, bowed his head and said a few words in her ear. Ah Di nodded, pointed to the round stool and asked the maid to help her move to the window, and then she climbed up, stepped on the stool, propped her elbows on the edge of the window, looked at the scribe downstairs, and then, in her clear voice, said to him: "Uncle Feng, aunt wants me to ask you, who are you?" ”
The little girl's voice was clear, and she said this strange thing in a loud enough voice, which sounded funny, and must have attracted the attention of people inside and outside the restaurant.
The scribe must have been embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he whispered something.
Di shook his head and asked him very clearly, "What?" …… Inaudible! ”
The scribe seemed to take a deep breath, his shoulders drooped, probably out of his mind, and he tilted his head, and his hood slipped off, revealing the handsome face that the princess and I remembered.
"Feng Jing in Xiajiang Xia." He replied aloud, his eyes reaching behind Ah Di, chasing Ruozhu's figure.
The restaurant suddenly sounded a "crackling" sound of pushing the window to open an account, countless heads stretched out from the building, their eyes fell on Feng Jing warmly, and the pedestrians on the road also stopped, staring at him curiously, pointing at him, and even many enthusiastic tourists or drinkers gathered from all directions, calling him "Feng Zhuangyuan", "Feng Bachelor" or "Feng Neihan".
Feng Jing didn't have time to take care of Ruozhu, he rode on the horse, awkwardly signaled to the person who called him, and laughed left and right, looking very embarrassed.
And Ruozhu, hiding sideways behind the window lattice, hugged Ah Di, and bent over with a smile.
