Chapter Ninety-Three: Love-Hate Entanglement (Part 2, Chapter 47)
Zhang Shuo asked: "Did you marry He Ruoxi out of sympathy for her, or because of He Shengnan's promise and dowry." ”
Sun Liang poured himself a glass of wine, drank it, and then said, "I heard that He Ruoxi went to see her when she was about to commit suicide on a hunger strike. She said that she had no point in being active, so why should she live? ”
They were all old friends, and I couldn't bear it, and said, "You can live for me." Will you marry me? I'll be good to you for the rest of my life. ”
He Ruoxi couldn't believe it, and then asked: "Why are you willing to marry me, I am already a broken flower." ”
I told her, "You are innocent, and no one wants this to happen." I don't want to see you give up on yourself like that. Although I don't love you now, maybe I will fall in love with you after marriage. Even if I don't love you, you are my wife and I will fulfill my responsibilities as a husband. When we have children, you can raise our children well. ”
Although He Ruoxi still doesn't believe it, it's not as decadent as before. She said to me again, "I'm like this, I'm too wronged to marry you." Your peers will laugh at you. ”
I said to her, "It's their fault that they haven't made a name for themselves, and they don't dare to say it." If they dare to show off, the general will not spare them. ”
He Ruoxi took the initiative to say: "Then you marry me, I agree that you can marry a flat wife at that time, or I can be a concubine." I am a concubine, and I am very happy to marry you as a concubine. ”
I didn't expect her to be so reasonable, as long as she didn't commit suicide again, it was nothing to marry her as a concubine.
I said to her, "I'll go back and talk to my father and mother about marrying you, and if they don't agree, I'll take you as a concubine." ”
He Ruoxi said: "Then just say marry me as a concubine, I don't care about my reputation, as long as I can stay by your side, I am very happy." ”
I went home and talked to my parents, and they were adamantly opposed to marrying Ho Ruxi, both because of her humble status and because she was not very talented. The parents who married her as a concubine didn't care, saying that they just needed to pick an auspicious day to welcome them in.
I went to He Mansion to report this matter to He Ruoxi and Lord He. Master He also knew that his daughter would never find a good husband again, and wanted to send it out as soon as possible. They also admitted it for the concubine, and when we were all satisfactorily settled for this matter, He Shengnan resolutely disagreed to let He Ruoxi be a concubine.
She said to me privately: "If you can't be a concubine, if you want to marry her, you have to marry her." If you don't like the dowry, I can give her all my dowry. ”
I said to He Shengnan: "This is not a dowry issue, my parents will not agree." Now that you agree, why don't you agree? ”
He Shengnan said: "If I can convince your parents, are you willing to marry Ruoxi?" ”
I wanted to marry He Shengnan even more, but she kept rejecting me. If I were to marry him, she wouldn't want to marry me again.
When I hesitated, He Shengnan asked, "Do you want to marry me?" ”
Seeing through her, I had to answer truthfully: "Yes, don't you know how much I love you?" ”
He Shengnan interrupted me and said, "I can't marry you as a wife. If you want to get me, if you marry me, I am willing to be your woman. I don't want any name, and I can't let Ruo find out. When you get married, if you want to...... Come to my house, but you can't stay overnight, and it's a pity that you have to go back at night. ”
Hearing her say this, I was both angry and a little happy. I was angry that she was so attentive to He Ruoxi, and always turned a blind eye to my hard pursuit and waiting.
The thought of how I could have her in such a way made me feel despicable, but I had tried everything else and couldn't impress her at all. If I get her like this, I will admit it, and I can also let He Ruoxi live.
On the second day, He Shengnan took the dowry to my house and said to my parents: "This is the dowry left to me by my mother, and I am willing to give it all as a dowry." But she must be a wife, and if you think she doesn't match, you can marry another wife after two years. I told Ruoxi, and she agreed. ”
Her dowry, in addition to some gold, silver and jewelry, also has a night pearl, which is extremely precious. It is said that the North General used to have the same one. My parents had heard that they could marry a flat wife for two years, so they agreed with her.
On the same day, he took the matchmaker and the dowry to the house of Lord He to be hired. He Ruoxi listened, I married her as my wife, and I was even more happy, and the whole person became clear. You may think of your situation and feel sad again.
He Shengnan comforted beside him: "It's a pity, General Sun Shao is sincere and sincere to you, he and his parents asked for a long time before they agreed to marry you." You have to prepare well, and you must be a good wife and mother in the future. ”
He Ruoxi nodded excitedly and said, "I will." My wedding dress isn't ready yet, Katsuo, you must help me. I'm afraid it's too late for the wedding day. ”
He Shengnan also happily pointed his finger at her forehead and said, "You little fool, didn't you say that you have to sew all the wedding dresses yourself?" You sew every stitch and thread yourself, and last time I wanted to help you, but you didn't want to. ”
At He Shengnan's request, the nearest auspicious day was chosen, and it was more than a month before getting married.
He Ruoxi looked at me and said, "General Sun Liang, do you want me to sew your wedding dress?" ”
I nodded and said, "Then there's Miss Laohe." ”
In those more than ten days, I heard that He Ruoxi was rushing to make wedding dresses every day, and wanted to sew our wedding dresses before we got married. He Shengnan went to accompany her every day and gave her a hand. Some simple floral ornaments were also sewn by He Shengnan.
We are all looking forward to the arrival of the wedding date, He Shengnan has a fearless attitude, she never seems to have thought about her future. But I have thought about her, even if she is an unsightly identity, I will give him a future, and I will definitely love her well in the future.
If it is my responsibility, I will treat her well. Give her a child, if it's not enough, you can also give her a few more children, so that she won't be lonely for the rest of her life, and I, too, will have a little more time to accompany Katsunan.
Everything is going in the direction we predetermined. We all seem to be satisfied, this ending is really too satisfying. So much so that no one wants to mention the shortcomings in it.
All illusions were shattered on the day when He Ru committed suicide. She didn't leave a word, and just left quietly. After He Shengnan found out, he went crazy and asked the five major generals to apologize to He Ruoxi and go to the government to surrender.
They were willing, and during this time, they secretly went to find Master He, the girl in the flower building, and the shopkeeper and men of the drunken fairy building, and testified with them. Even if He Shengnan went to sue, there was no chance of winning.
He Shengnan went to the yamen to sue, officialdom is inextricably linked, and He Shengnan has no strong evidence, and he is sent out every time. She went to Dali Temple to complain again, and was also sent out.
Later, when she saw the official's carriage on the street, she stopped it, and asked for revenge. Seeing that this had a bad effect, the yamen drove her out of the city gate, and she stopped the car outside the city gate every day. And then I met you.
After Sun Liang finished speaking, he drank another glass of wine and said, "This is the whole matter, I don't know if there is a discrepancy with He Shengnan?" ”
Xu Lang said: "It's not much different from what she said. Is there anything else we don't know about? ”
Sun Liang shook his head and said, "No." ”
Zhang Shuo asked: "Why do you like He Shengnan, and why don't you like He Ruoxi?" In terms of appearance, He Shengnan is better, but with a personality and a wife, isn't He Ruoxi more suitable? ”
Sun Liang said: "I hope that what I love is He Ruoxi, so many things will not happen." But love is not something you think is suitable, and if you are compatible with you, you will definitely fall in love. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it, and this is fate. ”
Sun Liang then said: "How can I fall in love with He Shengnan? I don't know when I fell in love with her, but the first time I met her, my memory is still very clear. That day, she asked the little maid to send me a letter outside my house, which was a love letter. The little guy was reluctant at first, so she grinded hard and soaked, all kinds of entanglements, and later gave the little guy a lot of money. The little guy just said to help give it to me. ”
He Shengnan said to the little maid: "I know your young master, if you don't deliver it, I know, and I will get the money back." ”
The little guy said, "Okay, I will definitely send it to the young master." ”
He Shengnan clapped his hands happily and said, "Then thank you first, I still have a letter for you to help deliver in the future, next time I will bring you something delicious, is it okay?" ”
The little guy said: "Let's talk about it then!" ”
I didn't expect that there would be such a brave girl, and I was deeply attracted to her at that time. When she received the letter, she was sincere, neither humble nor arrogant, and she was a bold woman.
I like her more, this temperament, this appearance, is still a good match for me. I wrote back the next day, asking to meet her. I don't think she's a squirming girl, I'm dressed up and ready to go on the next day.
Unexpectedly, she refused, and replied again, as if she had changed as a different person, the content of the letter was very graceful, and her talent was good. I thought that she must have wanted to establish a virtuous character in my heart, so I did not dismantle her, and agreed to write to her.
After half a year, I want to join the army, and I want to meet before leaving. So she invited again, and this time she finally agreed.
After speaking, Sun Liang drank another drink. After listening to Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang, they didn't expect the story to be so tortuous, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: This He Shengnan is too good to He Ruoxi!
Sun Liang continued: When we met, He Shengnan accompanied He Ruoxi. I thought that He Shengnan was the woman with whom I had written letters, so I greeted him very warmly and asked, "Girl, we have finally met, in Xia Sun Liang, ask the girl for your surname?" ”
He Shengnan laughed and said: "Young Master Sun, I came with Ruoxi, and I exchanged letters with you, it was this girl, Ruoxi." I don't know what blessings you cultivated in your last life, and you can get the favor of our family. ”
Thinking that I had misunderstood, I was very embarrassed, and I wanted to say to my face that I liked He Shengnan, but if I was sorry, I could only suppress the dissatisfaction in my heart.
In the lakeside restaurant, after eating for a while, He Shengnan took the excuse to slip away, leaving us embarrassed.
I stopped hiding it and said, "Miss He, I'm really sorry, I made a mistake. I thought it was He Shengnan and the girl who corresponded with me, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”
He Ruoxi also heard the meaning of the words and said: "It's okay, I have a good relationship with Shengnan, she is closer than my own sister, and she always loves to worry about me." ”
I said, "It's good that Miss He doesn't misunderstand, if there is something going on, I'll leave first." ”
He Ruoxi stopped me and said, "Sun Gongzi, if you like Shengnan, I can help you ask her, if she also likes you, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”
Hearing this, I was very happy, I didn't expect her to be so reasonable, and asked, "Ask her directly, what if she doesn't like me?" Can you tell me what she likes, and I'll ask her out next time or bring her some knick-knacks. ”
He Ruoxi said: "I'll go back and help you ask, if she likes you, I will tell you." If she has no interest in you, then there is nothing I can do, please forgive Sun Gongzi. ”
I said to her again: "As long as the kung fu is deep and the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, it doesn't matter if she rejects me now, I am confident that she will gradually like me." I also asked Miss He to help me with everything. ”
He Ruoxi said: "Then I'll go back in the evening to help you ask." ”
I said goodbye to He Ruoxi and went home, how to pursue He Shengnan.
The next day, I received a letter from He Ruoxi, who told me that He Shengnan had no plans to get married at present. I also wrote back and told her that I was willing to wait for her. Then he entered the barracks, and every time he wrote a letter home, he would write a letter to He Shengnan, and also brought some fun small objects to her. The letters were never returned, and all the things sent were returned.
After saying this, Sun Liang was a little drunk and said, "I'll go back first, our affairs are like this, there is nothing else." ”
As he spoke, he went back first.
Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang returned to the palace and came to Fengyi Palace to report. Tell Pei Shengyuan and Yang Mubai everything Sun Liang said.
Yang Mubai listened, and was even more impressed by He Shengnan's character, and said: "You still doubt her, you see how good she is." For what a pity, he took out all his dowry. Just because she can be a wife and identity, so that you men understand the righteousness, you men may not be able to do it. With that, he gave them a disdainful look.
Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang lowered their heads in shame, and Pei Shengyuan said, "Don't you think that her feelings for He Ruoxi are a bit out of bounds?" Last time, Peony said that some women don't like men, only women. After speaking, he glanced at Yang Mubai meaningfully.
Yang Mubai asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "If she doesn't like men and only likes women, I'm afraid she will snatch my Mu Mu away." After all, Mumu used to like Oiran too. ”
Yang Mubai retorted: "I didn't like Oiran before, I just wanted to be angry with you." Besides, I'll kiss them, isn't that okay? ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Yes, yes, I didn't say anything." It's that there are women in the world who only like women, and they are extremely disgusted with men. It's like a man's habit of breaking his sleeves. ”
Yang Mubai said: "Then why is she willing to dedicate herself to Sun Liang? ”
Zhang Shuo said: "Queen Mother, she did this just so that He Ruoxi could be his wife. Why is she willing to sacrifice? ”
Qiu Yue also said: "Maybe it's really as Peony said, she doesn't like men, what she likes is what a pity." So that everything makes sense. ”
Yang Mubai said: "Even if she only likes women and doesn't like men, it doesn't prove that she is a murderer." ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "We are now analyzing her motives for committing the crime, if she really likes He Ruoxi, pays so much for her, and then avenges her, it makes sense." ”
Yang Mubai said: "Even if she has a motive to commit the crime, what about the time of the crime? The only man she knew was Sun Liang, Sun Liang was in the barracks, and he didn't know that General Liao Shao was dead. ”
Everyone fell into deep thought, this case, no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't figure it out.
Zhang Shuo thought for a while and said, "Could it be that she has other helpers?" ”
Yang Mubai asked, "Well, it's possible, but where are the people?" ”
Zhang Shuo replied: "Queen Mother, this is my speculation. ”
Yang Mubai said: "I don't care about you, I have been busy with the children during this time, and in two days He Shengnan will recover, and I will take him back to Fengyi Palace." ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, I'll send a few more nurses to take care of Pingping and An An, He Shengnan won't let her come back first!" ”
Yang Mubai said: "If you can come up with real evidence, I won't take her back, if not, then I will take her back." ”
No, they really had no evidence, and none of the clues found strong evidence. Two days later, He Shengnan returned to Fengyi Palace, and Yang Mubai was happy and held a welcome banquet for her.
He Shengnan was also very happy, she said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, are the prince and princess okay?" ”
Yang Mubai said: "It's good, it's just that during your absence, I took care of them, but I was too busy." You're still good, and it's good to take care of them. ”
Qiu Yue also said: "Yes! You don't know, the queen mother talks about you every day, and I have fallen out of favor. She's very sad to see me now, and it's sad to think about it. ”
Yang Mubai said: "Who told you not to learn how to take care of children like Shengnan?" I can't learn well with a child, and I hold a sword in my hand all day long, and I don't have the gentleness and virtuousness of a woman at all. ”
Qiu Yue hurriedly said: "He Shengnan, look at it, you are here, my position is not guaranteed." The Queen doesn't need me anymore. After speaking, he looked at He Shengnan aggrievedly.
Seeing them ridicule like this, He Shengnan was also happy, and said unexpectedly: "Where, they are all from the nurse and the doctor." Qiu Yue is used to living the life of a chivalrous woman, unlike us, used to housework. So taking care of people's affairs is easy to learn, and if I were asked to learn to practice swords, I might not be able to learn it in my life. ”
After a pause, he continued: "I'm finished eating, let's go see the two children first, I've been recuperating from my injuries all this time, I haven't seen them for a while, and I miss them." After speaking, he walked to the princess's bedroom.
Yang Mubai and Qiu Yue also followed.
Sleeping peacefully, He Shengnan looked at them lovingly. Then I poked their heads with my hand and found that the temperature was just right. After checking her clothes again, An An had a small piece of her hand exposed, and she ripped it off and covered it. It should have been pulled out when the child was sleeping and turning over. The quilt was covered a little up, almost to her mouth, she moved the quilt down a little, and after seeing that it was all right, she went to check Pingping.
Ping Ping is relatively well-behaved and sleeps peacefully. It's just that the hat is a little crooked, and she puts the hat straight, and her head is a little sideways, so she straightens the flat head. Then sit on a chair next to them and watch them sleep.
Yang Mubai and Qiu Yue glanced at each other and found that they were really not as careful as He Shengnan, and Yang Mubai was very relieved to hand over the child to He Shengnan. Qiu Yue watched from the side and asked, "Shengguo, the queen said that you are more careful than her when you take care of your children, how did you do it so meticulously?" ”
He Shengnan said: "Taking care of children is to make them comfortable, especially in cold weather, you can't let them catch a cold." The sleeping position should also be in a good position, nothing else. Don't eat too much, don't go hungry, eat small, frequent meals. Always pay attention to the child's body temperature, if the body is hot or a little cold, but also to see what the problem is. Children are prone to sweating, so check your head and hands from time to time to see if there is sweat, and if you sweat, see if the clothes are too thick or the child is uncomfortable. Sweat should be wiped off in time, otherwise the child will be uncomfortable. These are all from Tai Medicine. ”
Qiu Yue said: "Katsuo, you are so powerful! How to remember so many things. ”
He Shengnan said: "If you do one thing with your heart, you can remember it." During the time I was recuperating from my injuries, I had nothing to do during the day, and I read the book on the pathology of my child given to me by Dr. Ye. If you encounter problems in the future, you don't need to panic too much. ”
Qiu Yue finally understood why Yang Mubai believed in any Shengnan so much, she was really very attentive, and she did and thought of everything that others didn't expect and didn't do. Such a person, if ......
Thinking of this, Qiu Yue couldn't help but be afraid for a while, if she did something bad, would she think of everything. You can wipe all traces clean. Her mind is too meticulous, and if she wants to hide something, I'm afraid no one can test it out, and no one can see it.
Seeing Qiu Yue stunned beside him, He Shengnan asked, "Miss Qiu Yue, what's wrong with you?" If you're tired, go back and rest, I'll just watch over it. ”
Qiu Yue came back to her senses and said, "I'm not tired, Katsuo, I also want to learn from you, how to take care of children." Otherwise, the queen mother will not be waiting to see me in the future. ”
He Shengnan said with a smile: "Miss Qiuyue, you can't be jealous of me, right?" Don't worry, I've been in the palace for three years, and I've been out of the palace for a long time after three years, and I'm just taking children now. It won't affect your seat. You take care of the queen every day, and she still trusts you very much. ”
Qiu Yue said: "Now the queen mother trusts you more, and I always find reasons to scold me when I speak." It's all your fault, everything is done so well, how do I behave, the queen just can't see it. Always compare me with you, who can stand this. ”
He Shengnan said: "I will not threaten your status, the queen mother's heart is still towards you." Scolding you, there must be something that upset her. Give her a compensation, the queen mother will not care about you anymore. ”
Qiuyue asked, "But I didn't make her unhappy, how can I compensate for it?" Do you want me to say: Queen Mother, I made you unhappy, I will make you compensate. ”
Later, the queen asked, "Where did you make me unhappy?" How do you ask me to answer? ”
He Shengnan said: "The queen mother would not ask like this. ”
