Chapter 21 Where do we not meet in life?
On this day, the two slept late, and when they woke up, it was already dawn, and after eating together, Shen Yun shouted on a whim to go to the market, Xiao Cong walked to the door and high-fived, and a man dressed as a farmer came forward to salute, listened to Xiao Cong's instructions, and soon got a carriage, and the two went into the city to catch up with the market.
The bazaar in the capital is the most lively, the two walked all the way, and when they arrived in front of a teahouse, they felt tired and thirsty, so they went in and chose a window position on the second floor to sit and rest.
Shen Yun originally held his cheeks, looked at the bustling crowd on the street, and drank tea leisurely. When he heard the singing of the lute in the hall, he suddenly sat up straight, with an incredible look on his face.
Seeing this, Xiao Cong hurriedly asked her what was wrong, but she raised her index finger on her lips and compared, and listened carefully for a while, then she got up and walked to the railing to look at the hall with some doubts, and when she saw the face of the singer in the hall, she beckoned to Xiao Cong happily, and then ran downstairs, Xiao Cong didn't know what it meant, so she had to quickly follow her downstairs.
After Du Yue'er finished singing, she raised her eyes and saw a woman waving to her on the side, and when she looked closely, she saw that it was Shen Yun, and she also showed a happy smile on her face, but when she saw the man standing next to her, she smiled, only pretended not to know her, and played and sang at the request of the guests.
Shen Yun saw her attitude, was stunned for a moment, then understood her intentions, and turned her head to look at Xiao Cong with some concern, Xiao Cong was a little inexplicable at first, and then after thinking about it, he knew what she meant, so he whispered in her ear: "It's okay." ”
When Shen Yun heard this, he happily waved his hand to the singer again.
Du Yue'er, who was sitting in the hall and playing and singing, saw it, and thought helplessly, this stupid girl, how can she live more and more unconscious, she has to meet her lover, and she is still entangled with us people, so she is not afraid that her husband will disgrace you.
But when she finished singing, she still walked in front of the two of them and blessed her body, Shen Yun saw Xiao Cong return the salute, so she came over and took her arm and said, "Sister Yue'er, why are you here?" ”
Du Yue'er glanced at Xiao Cong, and saw that there was only a faint smile on his face, so she pinched Shen Yun's face and sighed: "You stupid girl... That's it, since we can see you again, it's fate, but I'm busy buying medicine for my grandson now, if you don't dislike it, just follow me to the house and sit down, and I'll tell you slowly. ”
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Xiao Cong again, Shen Yun also raised her eyes to look at him at this time, and saw that he seemed to be hesitant, so she said cautiously: "Why don't you go back first, and then let someone pick me up later?" ”
Xiao Cong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "No, I was thinking, it is a bit rude to visit for the first time, but I am empty-handed." ”
When Shen Yun and the others heard this, they hid their mouths and laughed, and Du Yue'er teased her in a low voice: "Where did you get such an honest man?" Shen Yun laughed and said, "He's honest? There were honest people in the world. ”
Xiao Cong listened, coughed a little embarrassed, and then put his hands on his sleeves and honestly followed them to the medical hall, Shen Yun saw that Du Yue'er exchanged all the money she had sung today for two packs of medicine, and finally there were only a few coppers left in her hands, and when she passed by a fresh fish stall, she struggled for a long time, but she still only picked two small crucian carp, and bought some vegetables along the road that were sold at low prices because they were not very fresh, and those coppers were gone.
I only heard her say apologetically to Shen Yun: "I'm really sorry, I haven't seen you for so long, I should treat you well, but my grandson is sick now, and the consumption is huge, and I really have no money to spare." ”
Shen Yun grinned: "It's okay, it's okay, there is one of us here who likes to be a vegetarian." As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Cong, and Xiao Cong had to pretend not to hear.
The three of them walked into an alley, and finally came to a small courtyard that was quite clean, Du Yue'er pushed the door open, and saw a thin man standing with his hands in his hands, and at this time he heard the sound and turned his head to look at them.
Shen Yun said in his heart, it was really not Qin Liulang.
When Du Yue'er saw it, she hurriedly came over to support him and said, "Why did you come out to blow the wind again, didn't you just stay in the house?" ”
He smiled and reached out to stroke Du Yue'er's windswept sideburns, and said softly: "I want to go outside and see you earlier." Then he glanced at Shen Yun and said, "Are there any guests?" ”
Seeing Du Yue'er nodding, he saluted each other with them.
Shen Yun saw that he had already coughed several times, so he said to Du Yue'er: "Sister, let's go and decoct the medicine for my brother-in-law first, and I will arrange dinner to ensure that everyone is satisfied." ”
Du Yue'er smiled when she heard this: "Knowing that you, a glutton, are the best at this, Father Liu has always regretted why you are not a kid, otherwise his imperial chef-level skills will have a successor." ”
Everyone laughed for a while, Du Yue'er went to serve her husband, and Xiao Cong followed Shen Yun to the stove to give her a hand.
Shen Yun was killing fish and cutting vegetables with his hands and feet, while looking at Xiao Cong, who was sitting quietly by the stove door guarding the fire, pursed his lips and smiled, Xiao Cong asked her what she was laughing at, she said, "Didn't you say that the gentleman is far away from cooking?" Pity you, a gentleman, how many days have you been a fire-burning girl? ”
Xiao Cong handed over the firewood slowly, and said calmly: "In order to make the little lady happy, even if you have to break through the sea of swords and fires, what is it to burn a fire." ”
Shen Yun sighed when he heard this: "Why don't those little ladies pounce on you one after another, and even speak so beautifully, it's amazing." ”
Xiao Cong glanced at her, "I've done a good job, why don't you say it." ”
Shen Yun smiled, "Let me think about it, which of your things has been done beautifully." As soon as she finished speaking, her face suddenly turned red, and she pursed her lips and smiled again and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Xiao Cong also pursed his lips and smiled, where did this little villain think of going.
When Shen Yun had finished a table of meals, and Du Yue'er had also fed her husband medicine, the four of them sat around the table and chatted while eating.
"Sister, what the hell is going on?"
"After I followed Qin Liulang home that year, he did business and even folded a lot of silver, listened to the words of the fortune teller, felt that it was unlucky, and drove me out, I was desperate, so I had to go back to the former brothel to laugh, but at this time, Ruan Lang came back."
Xiao Cong glanced at Shen Yun when he heard this, isn't it Zhang Sheng. Shen Yun also replied to him with his eyes, don't look at me, I only knew that his name was Ruan Lang.
Ruan Lang took over her words: "I asked Yue'er to wait for me for three years, and I went to Beijing to take the exam, but I encountered fraud in the field, was implicated, and was assigned to the army, and when I escaped from the battlefield, five years have passed, I know that she will not wait for me anymore, but I still can't help but go back to look for her, after I went back, I heard that she went to Kyoto, and I wanted to go to Kyoto to find her, who knew that she was recognized on the road, and the deserter was going to be beheaded, but the war with Zhaoguo was tense at that time, and the heads of our group of people were temporarily left, and then they were taken prisonerAfter that, the prince of the new dynasty promised when he sacrificed the army, as long as the rebellion of Nanzhao was quelled, we people who were willing to continue to stay in the army, added officials to the knighthood, and those who were willing to disarm and return to the field, could also get a lot of money to settle in, so the army's morale was greatly boosted, and the southern Xinjiang was leveled in a few years, and His Royal Highness the prince did what he said, I disarmed and returned to the field, thinking that there was nowhere to go, so I returned to the brothel again, I didn't expect to really see Yue'er again, I used my settlement fee, In addition, Yue'er redeemed her with the silver she saved, and took her to find a small village in Jingzhou to live in, but unexpectedly, she encountered a big epidemic again. ”
He coughed violently.
Du Yue'er stroked his back, and continued: "Whenever there is a big epidemic, the government will close the village and lock the city in desperation, we don't want to stay in the village and wait for death, so we escaped, but Ruan Lang was already infected with the epidemic at that time, and then we hid everywhere, and we didn't dare to go outside to harm people, only messed around in the mountains and fields to eat some herbs, the epidemic is cured, but Ruan Lang fell to the root of the disease, to rely on these decoctions to continue his life, I have no other ability, I can only go out to sing, but unfortunately people are old and yellow, how to sing can not earn a few dollars." ”
When Shen Yun heard this, he sighed, and said in his heart Fortunately, Xiao Cong was born in the royal family and enjoyed the worship of the world, so he was also infected with the epidemic, Ruan Lang became like this, but he could still be fine, otherwise...
Xiao Cong was also very emotional, and seeing that Shen Yun was also sad, he reached out and held her hand tightly.
Ruan Lang coughed for a while, stroked his heart with one hand, grabbed Du Yue'er's hand with the other and said: "It's just that you have suffered you, and you haven't enjoyed a day of happiness with me, and you have been dragged down by me, what should you do when I leave in the future." ”
Du Yue'er said softly: "What are you talking about, I am the greatest blessing to meet you, besides..."A happy smile suddenly appeared on her face, "I feel a slight movement in my abdomen recently, it should be because of your flesh and blood, for the sake of this child, you should also live well, even if you go first in the future, I still have him." ”
Shen Yun originally just lowered his head and sighed, hearing this, he suddenly looked up at her, there were tears in his eyes, but because he tried his best to hold back, his whole body trembled slightly, Xiao Cong saw this, and whispered in her ear "Qingqing", Shen Yun came back to his senses, exhaled a long breath, he found something to diverge, the four of them chatted for a long time, Du Yue'er saw that Ruan Lang was physically exhausted, so he helped him back to the room to rest, and when he came out again, Shen Yun and they saw that the sky was dark, so they also got up and prepared to leave, Du Yue'er first pulled Shen Yun aside: " I see that your family is very good to you, and in terms of appearance alone, he is worthy of you, so you have to cherish it. Seeing Shen Yun blushing and responding, "I know", she said to Xiao Cong again: "Don't belittle my sister because her background is not good enough, she is very high-spirited, she is afraid of throwing the sage prince in front of her, and she may not be able to get into it, I think she is now willing to follow you with all her heart, don't wronged her." ”
Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows, glanced at Shen Yun, and saw that she was shy and embarrassed, but she was still solemn, and said solemnly to Du Yue'er: "Sister, don't worry, I will not wronged her, otherwise the family will not agree." Du Yue'er listened and nodded again and again.
At this time, Ruan Lang coughed again in the house, and Shen Yun hurriedly said: "Sister, go in quickly, we should also go, if I have the chance, I will come to see my sister again." ”
Du Yue'er listened, shook her hand again, and went into the house.
Shen Yun saw her go in, thought about it, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, took off his hairpin, earrings, bracelets and other valuable items one by one and put them in and wrapped them, and beckoned to Xiao Cong, Xiao Cong understood, and hurriedly took out the purse from his arms and handed it to her, thought about it and untied the jade pendant on his waist, Shen Yun looked at the jade pendant, hesitated, but took it, wrapped it in the handkerchief, put these things on the windowsill, and quietly walked out with Xiao Cong.
The two walked hand in hand in silence for a while, and Xiao Cong suddenly said, "Qingqing, child, there will be." ”
Shen Yun was stunned for a long time, and waited for a long time before he said quietly: "The sister-in-law of the Teaching Workshop Division may still leave us a glimmer of life, but Wang Xiang, it shouldn't be." ”
When Xiao Cong heard this, he only felt that his heart seemed to be pinched fiercely, and Shen Yun probably also felt his emotional changes, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "I don't know how many things I shouldn't have eaten over the years, but in the end, it's all voluntary, and no one has forced me. When I was in the Junfu, it didn't matter, I felt that my life was like that, it was better to obey Wang Xiang's wishes, lest she think of other tricks to toss me. Who knew I would meet you later. But fortunately, there are a lot of people who are rushing to help you have a baby, and I don't need to feel so guilty. ”
Xiao Cong looked at Shen Yun's casual appearance, and only felt that every time she said a word, her heart felt like she had been stabbed, and she finally understood what she meant by "living in a desperate place", so she stopped and hugged her tightly in her arms.
Shen Yun was stunned for a moment, then broke free and said, "On this big night, I don't want to stand on the street and cry, don't recruit me." ”
Xiao Cong had to lead her forward again, and it took a lot of effort to stabilize her mind, and when she wanted to divert the topic, she deliberately said, "Oh no." ”
Seeing Shen Yun looking at him inexplicably, he said again: "I forgot to leave some money for renting a carriage." ”
Shen Yun stared at him for a moment and said, "Then call your guards out and ask them to get the carriage." ”
Xiao Cong said: "After we entered the city, they didn't follow. ”
Shen Yun's eyes widened, "You're too bold." You're not afraid..."
Xiao Cong smiled: "Where is there so mysterious, those people are not clairvoyants, they can track us all the time, besides, we are walking on the street today, this is clear, is there really no royal law?" ”
"What then? Put your flares. ”
"That's also a casual place? Who knows if it's friend or foe who arrives first? Besides, for no reason, you recruited all the guards, aren't you waiting to be scolded? I can't move that until I have to. ”
"That's just as well."
The two of them walked in silence for a while, and Xiao Cong hesitated: "Otherwise, let's go where to fight the autumn breeze." ”
Shen Yun looked at him, "Where are you going?" ”
"It seems that only the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is a little closer to here."
Shen Yun hesitated and said, "Let's just go like this, isn't it good." ”
Xiao Cong smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise? Shall we walk back to the East Palace, or walk back to the Zhuangzi. ”
