Chapter Twenty-Eight: It is difficult to promise the country again
After everyone had dinner, Zhen Zhen told Shen Yun about her and Changsong.
She was the only daughter of a teaching gentleman's family in a small town near Jianmen Pass, she was born very good-looking, with a soft temperament, and she was also diligent, and she was knowledgeable, and when she reached the marriageable age, young talents from ten miles and eight towns came to ask for marriage, but the matchmakers almost stepped through the threshold of her family, and she still didn't agree, so everyone began to complain that her heart was too high, and some people even ridiculed, saying that she was "afraid that she was waiting to enter the palace as a mother", and even her mother often nagged her: "You don't know what kind of one to find, The little Langjun of the Zhang official family and the eldest son of the Li Shoubei family are not worthy of you? Day by day, you only know how to pick and choose, and then go back, and you can't get married when you're old, you know. ”
Zhen Zhen usually ignored her, and was only occasionally annoyed by her reading, and replied: "What are those little Langjun princes you said, if I want to marry, I will marry the heroes of the world, heroes among people." ”
Her mother listened and said, "Can other heroes and heroes take a fancy to you?" ”
Zhen Zhen didn't care, but said: "Look, one day, there will be a hero riding a white horse to marry me." ”
Who would have thought that when she was seventeen years old, a hero would really appear in front of her?
It's just that he didn't ride a white horse, and he was seriously injured and very embarrassed.
At that time, Zhen Zhen was taking her clothes to the river to prepare for washing, and there was a sudden movement in the grass beside her, she thought it was a pheasant and a hare or something, so she put down the clothes in her hand and touched it lightly, thinking that if she could get one home, she could improve the food.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the grass, there was a man in military uniform covered in blood, and Zhen Zhen was so frightened that she took two steps back and sat on the ground.
The man said, "Don't panic, girl, you are the guard of the Sword Gate." ”
When Zhen Zhen heard this, her heart settled down a little, and she saw that his face was like gold paper, his breath was dying, and he had been trying to support himself, so she couldn't help but feel pity, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, only then did she feel that he was hot all over, and when she looked closely, he was injured in many places, some of them had scabbed, and some were still oozing blood.
At this moment, he seemed to be unable to hold it anymore, closed his eyes, and fainted.
Zhen Zhen thought about it, so she dragged him back to her house, helped him scrub his body, found his father's clothes and changed them for him, got some gold sore medicine prepared at home for him to bandage his wounds, and fried a large bowl of antipyretic herbal soup for him.
After doing all this, she was so tired that she collapsed on the edge of the collapse, and said in her heart, it is really unfortunate, her parents both went out to save relatives yesterday, and she picked up a wounded soldier and came back today, if they are there, can they still help.
She thought so, and looked at him carefully, and sighed in her heart, this general is really good-looking, but he is so seriously injured, and he doesn't know if he can live, it's not that she doesn't want to invite Lang Zhong, but Lang Zhong saw that the puppet army was pressing, and he had already fled to Huainan with his family.
I think that only a person with a generous heart like her parents can go to relatives at such a time.
At this time, Shen Changsong on the couch seemed to have a nightmare, and he had been muttering to himself, and when she heard it closely, she realized that he was crying cold.
It's the same, it's strange that so much blood has been shed, and it's not cold. She quickly took out the thickest futon in the house and covered him, but he still couldn't stop crying cold. She turned out all the bedding and jackets in the house and covered him, but it still had no effect.
In the end, Zhen Zhen turned her heart sideways, took off her coat, climbed onto the couch, and got into Changsong's arms, Changsong naturally instinctively hugged her tightly, and her heart was like a deer, but she still thought calmly, he was born so good-looking, and he was a general in distress, he should barely be regarded as a hero, and he didn't lose anything like this, besides, it's not all about saving people.
She thought about it, and fell asleep in a daze, and when it was dawn on the second day, Changsong woke up faintly, and saw the sleeping Yiren in his arms, surprised and shy, but also had a trace of affection, which may be the so-called love at first sight.
In the next few days, Changsong's body gradually recovered, and one day Zhen Zhen came back from the riverside Huanyi, and saw that he was holding on to the door frame and trying to walk into the courtyard, so he hurriedly put down his clothes and came to support him and said, "Why did you go to the ground by yourself, if the wound is broken again, how can it be good." ”
Chang Song smiled: "After so many days, the wound has already healed, and if you don't walk on the ground, you will be lying down." ”
Zhen Zhen didn't say anything more, helped him to sit in the courtyard, and then chatted with him while drying the washed clothes, and when the clothes were dried, she went to fry the herbs for Chang Song, and guarded him to drink the medicine, and went back to water the vegetables and fruits in the garden, and picked a few handfuls after watering, and chopped firewood for cooking, Chang Song quietly watched her busy on the side, feeling that she was different from the women around her before, different from the strength of his grandmother, the elegance of his mother, and the delicate of his sister, she was a little soft and simple. Something alive that fascinated him deeply.
Zhen Zhen seemed to be accustomed to his gaze, and was busy with her own work, until she brought the meal to the table and shared it with Changsong, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Chang Song stroked the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead with some distress, and sighed lightly: "It's really hard for you to take care of the housework and take care of me, a wounded soldier, I am a waste person now, and I can't help anything." ”
Zhen Zhen only smiled slightly when she heard this, "You have helped me the most by recuperating from your injuries." ”
In the days that followed, under the careful care of Zhen Zhen, Chang Song's body was getting better day by day, and gradually he was able to help a little, she washed her clothes, he helped to dry, she brought clean water, he accompanied her to water the garden, she cooked in the stove, and he lit a fire for her. Every time Zhen Zhen looked at this young man in white, her eyes were also full of love, and she suddenly felt that they were already the most loving couple.
One night, however, he looked at the moon, stroked her head full of green silk, and whispered, "I should go." ”
Zhen Zhen listened and said with tears in her eyes: "Go back to find Qingqing in your dream?" ”
Chang Song was stunned for a moment, and smiled dumbly: "It seems that the sister is not only bad-tempered, but also has a small reputation, and now even you know it." ”
Sister-in-law? It turned out to be his sister.,I thought it was his dream lover.。
Zhen Zhen reached out to caress his face and whispered in his ear, "Is the concubine not good enough?" How could the general be willing to leave like this? ”
Chang Song was silent for a long time before he said: "I have promised the country, and it is difficult to make Xu Qing." ”
Zhen Zhen chuckled with tears: "I want to go with you Wushan Yunyu." As he spoke, he stepped forward and tried his best to tease.
Changsong, a young man with strong blood, was already devoted to her, how could he stand this, even if he knew that he couldn't give her a future, he still couldn't help but taste the joy of life with her.
When it was time to separate, Zhen Zhen hugged him and cried: "You finally escaped a catastrophe, why go back to die, let's go, stay away from these disputes, I will go with you to the ends of the earth." ”
Changsong hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: "Zhenzhen, I have my responsibility, and I also want to save my life and be with you in the morning and twilight, but in this world, there are more important things than these, which I need to protect." He said, kissing her lightly on the forehead, "Zhenzhen, you are a good girl, you will be accompanied by a lover in the future, and your children will be around your knees..."
When Zhen Zhen heard this, she cried heartbreakingly: "You are gone, where will there be any lovers?" And where did the children come from around their knees? ”
Chang Song stretched out his hands to hold her face, and choked up: "Zhen Zhen, meeting you is the greatest luck in my life, and I am satisfied." After I am gone, you must live well and live happily and happily, this is my last wish, promise me. ”
Zhen Zhen was so crying that she couldn't speak, and she knew that she couldn't keep him, so she could only close her eyes and nodded.
In the end, Changsong gritted his teeth, pulled her hand away, and walked away.
Tears blurred Zhen Zhen's vision, and Chang Song's distant figure became hazy, she knew that she didn't have to chase it, the young man in white was indeed a hero, but it never belonged to her.
Later, Changsong died, the sword gate was broken, she and her parents fled with the homeless, and in the upheaval, she was shocked to find that she was pregnant, so she had to commit herself to Brother Shao, who took care of her family all the way under the arrangement of her parents, and then gave birth to a son, named Xingyun.
Nebulae, lucky too.
If there was no Nebula, it would have been just a dream for her.
Therefore, she wants to keep Xingyun away from these things, what responsibilities, beliefs, and what does it have to do with her as a common person, she just wants her son to be well, safe, happy, and not follow in his father's footsteps.
After listening to Zhen Zhen's narration, Shen Yun was silent for a long time, and finally reached out to wipe the tears on his face, called Xingyun to his side, took off the little green pendant that had been worn on his chest and said: "Good boy, this is your father's thing, wear it well, may it protect you with peace and joy in your life." ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Cong and Su Huaijin again, and said: "It's just that in life, it is inevitable that you will encounter some difficulties, if you need help in the future, you can find Uncle Su or uncle, you know." ”
Xiao Cong heard this, thought about it, took out a small bag from his arms, handed it to Xingyun and said: "If you want to find us, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the top immediately, if you have any urgent matters in the future, take this to any level of official, you can get help." ”
Shen Yun knew that it was his private seal, so he looked at him with some worry, Xiao Cong saw this, and only smiled at her, Shen Yun knew what he meant, it didn't matter.
Su Huaijin saw Xingyun holding the little bag in his hand and looking at it over and over, his expression was a little hesitant, so he said to him: "You have to put this away, as long as you don't do anything hurtful, it should work." ”
Xingyun already knew that Su Huaijin was the chief of the court, and when he heard him say this at this moment, his heart jumped up, and after thinking about it, he cautiously asked, "Can I use it to borrow some money?" ”
Shen Yun smiled and said: "You can't use it if you borrow money, as much as you want, your aunt can give it to you." ”
When Zhen Zhen heard this, she reached out and picked up Xingyun's ear, snatched the bag in his hand and returned it to Xiao Cong: "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, big officials, this is a precious thing, and if you give it to him, you will be blind." ”
Saying that, he dragged him out, and scolded: "Are you so shallow-eyed? As soon as I recognized my relatives, I asked your uncle and aunt for things and money, and my mother usually taught you in vain. ”
When Shen Yun saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to protect Xingyun behind him, and said to Zhen Zhen: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this, I have also been living abroad with my children for a few years, I know the hardships involved, there is nothing wrong with the child wanting to live a good life, I have nothing to give him as an aunt, but when it comes to money, there is no shortage of money." So he turned to him and asked, "Good boy, how much do you want?" ”
Seeing this, Xingyun boldly gestured a finger and said, "One... One hundred taels of silver! ”
Shen Yun was slightly surprised, but Zhen Zhen exploded directly, bypassing Shen Yun and picking up his ears again: "One hundred taels, why don't you go to heaven, the old lady wants to see if there are one hundred taels of meat on your body today." ”
Xingyun broke free and hid behind Xiao Cong, Shen Yun hurriedly hugged Zhen Zhen and said: "Sister-in-law, I can still take this hundred taels, but, Xingyun, you always have to make it clear what you want to use with so much money, if you take it and don't do serious things, then won't my aunt hurt you?" ”
Hearing this, Xingyun poked his head out from behind Xiao Cong and said, "Auntie, don't worry, my nephew wants to use this money to do business." ”
Shen Yun listened, smiled and pressed Zhen Zhen to her seat and said, "Of course this is okay, it's just that my aunt didn't bring so much when she went out this time, so it's okay to have someone bring it to you when she goes back." ”
Xingyun nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, but Xiao Cong pulled him out from behind him and said, "Since you want to do business, I'm afraid one hundred taels is not enough, so let's do it, my uncle will send you three hundred taels tomorrow, you don't want to spend it indiscriminately." ”
Nebula's eyes widened and he stammered, "Three... Three hundred taels... If I lose it, I can't afford it. ”
Zhen Zhen glanced at him: "You still know that you can't afford to pay it back, even if it's a hundred taels, you can't afford to pay it back." ”
Xiao Cong smiled and said: "I don't want you to pay it back, this is all considered my uncle's shareholding, and I will admit it if I make a loss." ”
When Xingyun heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, that's the case, when my nephew makes money, I will share it with my uncle and you, no, three or seven, and I will share three and you seven." ”
Xiao Cong listened, and didn't care, just smiled and handed him the bag again: "Since you want to do business, it will be much smoother with the help of the official, you still have to take this away, as your Uncle Su said, as long as it is not a hurtful thing, it will work." ”
In the carriage back to the palace, Shen Yun leaned his head on Xiao Cong's shoulder and didn't speak, Xiao Cong hugged her and asked, "Why is it so quiet?" Tired? ”
Shen Yun said: "I'm not tired, I'm so happy." ”
Xiao Cong knew what she was referring to, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Qingqing, you just said that you had a hard time in the years when you were exiled with Sijun?" ”
Shen Yun glanced up at him and said with a smile: "It's not bitter, but it's definitely not as quiet as you originally imagined, you know, I was very sick at that time, and there are no days of good time throughout the year, plus there is a Sijun, not to mention whether there is a stop, even the money is often stretched." In the end, I really had no choice but to take the bracelet you gave me as a medical hall and give it to Brother Lu, thinking that if I didn't survive one day, he and Sijun would still have a source of livelihood. ”
Xiao Cong listened silently, only hugging her tighter and tighter.
She knew that he was distressed again, so she didn't say any more, only sighed and said: "So you, Brother Lu is kind to me, and you didn't say that you were kind to others." ”
Xiao Cong listened, and said with a little humility: "What is wrong with me, isn't it also a high-ranking official, and there is more courtesy?" ”
Shen Yun said: "Well, it's just that I don't want to give people a good face all day long." After thinking about it, he teased: "If I could meet a good uncle at that time, it would be good if I could make a move, and it would be good if it was three hundred taels of this kind of shot, and I wouldn't even be a bracelet." ”
Xiao Cong had to smile when he heard this, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, Xingyun is still young, if you want him to be a little productive in the future, it's not too late to start cultivating now." ”
Shen Yun smiled and said: "No need, I see that he is still having a very happy day, just let him be, this Kunpeng has the ambition of Kunpeng, and the lizard dove has the joy of a dove, and it is not possible to talk about who is more promising." Our Shen family is such a bloodline, you have to take care of him for me in the future, he wants money and things, as long as it is not too much, you can give him some, don't let people bully him, and don't let him cause any trouble. ”
Xiao Cong also smiled and said: "Yes, follow the orders of the mother." ”
