How many faces does love have? Fervor? Tender feelings? Dedication? Sacrifice? Obsessed? Persistent? Possessive? Crazy? …… It seems that no one can write a completely clear definition of love, perhaps calm is also one of the faces of love?

Mei Ruojun looked at a pear blossom full of flowers in the earthen jar on the bedside table, the white flowers, with a little yellow stamen, looked pure and delicate, she showed a smile on her face, she liked beautiful flowers, sat up, put on clothes, habitually touched the beautiful poems pressed at the bottom of the bottle, and didn't know when she developed this habit.

But the fingers touched the desktop, but did not touch the paper, a little strange, it turned out that there was no poetry under the bottle today, some complained that Ryan was lazy, could it be that such a beautiful pear blossom could not make him poetic?

Get up and get dressed, open the bedroom door, and the sound of the door opening startles a flock of sparrows foraging in the yard and spreads their wings and flies into the sky. The morning air is fresh and a little chilly.

"Ahem, ahem!" A cough came from the opposite wing, coughing ...... How familiar it is, how many years have it been, this small courtyard has been spent with the sound of coughing, maybe it is not fully awake, for a moment Ruojun thought that his father was coughing, and his heart trembled, could it be that his father came back? Turning her head to look at the mourning hall in the hall, her heart cooled down again, this cough was not her father Mei Xuefei, it was her husband, Zhou Ruian.

She hurriedly walked to the side room, and was about to knock on the door, when Cuiliu behind her was dressed in a coat, her hair was a little unkempt, and she was holding a cup of hot water, and shouted: "Grandma!" ”

"Cuiliu, what's wrong with Ryan?"

"The eldest young master seems to have a cold, Zhou Fu has already gone to ask for a doctor, I will pour a cup of hot water first, you can bring it in." I'll go freshen up. ”

As he spoke, he handed the tray to Ruojun and turned to leave.

Ruojun knocked on the door and went in, and saw Ryan curled up in the quilt and asleep. A pair of cloth shoes next to the bed, the upper of the shoes was already wet, and the edges of the shoes were covered with mud, Ruojun walked over gently and put the hot water on the bedside table.

Ruojun wanted to check on him, but he shrunk in the quilt, and the quilt barely covered his head, so he couldn't see his face.

"Ryan, Ryan......" she called to him softly.

But he didn't react, Ruojun chuckled in his heart, and quickly reached out to touch his forehead, sure enough, it was hot, he was feverish, and his body was trembling, Mei Ruojun hurriedly hugged his quilt from his room and covered him.

"Ryan, come get some water." She pushed him awake hard, wanting him to drink some hot water, Ryan woke up groggily, Ruojun wanted him to sit up and drink water, but at this time Ryan had a high fever and was delirious, where did he still have the strength to sit up by himself, Ruojun had to reach through his armpits, hugged him, and quickly covered him with two layers of quilts.

"Oh my God, how did you burn so badly?" She asked in a panic, "Did you go to the woods early in the morning?" She frowned.

Ryan opened her eyes in a daze to look at her, she quickly took the cup and blew the hot air, tasted the temperature herself, and fed him to drink, but he burned in a daze, and because the muscles on the left side of his face atrophied, he couldn't close his mouth, and as soon as the water went in, it flowed out again, wetting the collar and quilt, Ruojun had to quickly find a cloth to dry.

She gave up the idea of feeding him water, because she really didn't have enough strength alone, she was in a hurry, and after tossing for a while, the hot water had turned into cold water, so she had to let Ryan continue to lie down, tuck the corners of the quilt for him, sit on the edge of the bed by herself, and look at him with compassion in her eyes. Thinking of his poor life experience, thinking of his talent, thinking of his thoughts on herself, her mind fluctuated, very complicated, she had lost the ability to analyze herself and judge herself.

She cautiously reached out and touched his burning face, a little doubtful that she had been touched by him, but soon she couldn't help but think of Ruikang, how much she missed him in her heart, but ...... But...... But...... There are so many ......, can't be explained, can't explain clearly, and the never-ending questions of right and wrong make her feel miserable.

Ruikang is about to marry Jiaqi, and he should be a qualified wife again, the naïve "hell alliance" between her and Ruikang should also end, how right he and Jiaqi are, how suitable they are, he will love each other after marriage, and he is very envious of Jiaqi in his heart, no, she is very jealous of Jiaqi, yes, jealous, although she feels that she shouldn't, but she is indeed jealous, he is hers, he is happy with each other, isn't it? But soon he will marry Cheng Jiaqi, he will say sweet words to her, hug her gently, kiss her affectionately, and ...... And also...... Yes, they will be more intimate, she involuntarily grabbed the corner of her clothes, and shook her head violently to shake off the pictures she had imagined.

How long has it been since she saw him? She hadn't seen Ruikang since they came to Mei's house to mourn that day, and she couldn't remember how many days, maybe a week? Thinking that the Zhou family must be actively preparing for a grand and grand wedding, he must be happily preparing to be the groom and marry her beautiful lady, and she began to be jealous in her heart.

A hot hand gently held her hand tightly holding the corner of her clothes, Ruojun looked back, his eyes were still closed, and he whispered in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry...... Ruojun ......"

Ruojun held his hand, shook his head, and whispered, "You don't have anything to say sorry for, thank you." Ryan, I love these lovely flowers, but next time we go together, shall we? ”

His head groaned, and he fell asleep again.

After a while, there was a commotion at the door, there was the sound of horses neighing, and there were also the sounds of people talking, it seemed that someone was coming, Ruojun stood up, walked outside the house, and saw Cuiliu walking towards the gate.

There was a carriage of the Zhou family parked at the gate, Zhou Fu was standing next to the car, and Zhou Gui, Ruojun wondered in his heart, why did Zhou Gui come early in the morning, there was a doctor next to Zhou Fu, Zhou Fu urged Cuiliu to bring the doctor in, and Zhou Gui and Zhou Gui were talking about something at the door, Zhou Gui frowned, sometimes sighed, sometimes spread his hands, looking very troubled and helpless, Zhou Fu also sighed and shook his head after hearing this, the two seemed to be talking about an extremely troublesome and tricky thing. Could it be that something happened to the Zhou family? Ruojun thought uneasily.

"Grandma, the doctor is here." Cuiliu led the doctor to stand in front of Ruojun, Ruojun came back to his senses, hurriedly made way for the doctor, and told Cuiliu to pour tea for the doctor.

The doctor gave Ryan a pulse, looked up and said, "Madam, your husband is suffering from wind cold, it should be caused by continuous cold invasion and wind, his original physique is not good, so the illness is very urgent and violent." ”

"So, will he be in danger?" Ruojun asked worriedly.

The doctor groaned and said, "Let's take a few doses of medicine first, and there are still ......" The doctor said and looked around at the simple and dilapidated conditions in the lower room, and said a little strangely: "Madam, with all due respect, it seems that there is no need to live in such a room, judging by your clothes and the servants serving." Your husband is very ill and should go to a more comfortable place for treatment. It's really not good here, you can see that the doors and windows are full of wind, and at night it is even colder, especially since your husband is not in good health. ”

Ruojun nodded and said in a low voice, "This is my maiden home." My father and mother died, so we are here to keep filial piety. ”

The doctor felt rude, and hurriedly stood up to make an apology, Ruojun smiled helplessly at the corner of his mouth, and said: "It's okay, I wrote down your instructions, you go and prescribe a prescription, and I will let people go with you to get the medicine." ”

"Hey, well......" the doctor got up and left.

Ruojun looked at Ruian on the hospital bed, and looked around at this cold little room, with bare earthen walls, broken window paper, old door panels, dilapidated tables and chairs, compared with the magnificence and comfort of the Zhou family, it is simply not a place for people to live. But he let Ruikang and the Ryan brothers live in this place. I was so negligent.

She had to let Ryan go back to Zhou's house to recuperate, and she couldn't stay here any longer, but...... The mother-in-law didn't let her go back, because she was filial piety, because Ruikang was going to get married, she was an ominous person, indeed, it was better not to go back, maybe if she didn't go back, she could return the original peace of the Zhou family to them.

There was a knock on the door, Zhou Fu pushed the door open, stood at the door and said, "Grandma, my wife told me to go back to Zhou's house immediately." ”

"Did something happen to the Zhou family?"

"This ......" Zhou Fu hesitated, pursed his lips, and said embarrassedly: "The old man is sick." ”

"What?" Ruojun's eyes widened and he hurriedly asked, "When is it?" How did you get sick? ”

"Last night...... The doctor said it was a hurry......"

"Rushing to the heart? Why? Ruojun was even more puzzled, wasn't the Zhou family preparing for a happy event? What will make Master Zhou anxious?

"Because, because...... The second young master ran to the Cheng family to withdraw from the marriage, and the master of the Cheng family sent someone to send the dowry back yesterday, and when he left, he said some unpleasant things, which made the old man angry, and beat the second young master, the second young master was seriously injured, and the master himself was angry. There was no one in charge of the house, so my wife asked me to go back to cooking. ”

Sky! Ruojun was stunned in place, his eyes stared at the boss, as if he was petrified, but he didn't react, he really ran away from the marriage, how could this be? She couldn't imagine how big a wave the Zhou Cheng family would make, but she knew that all of them must be sad, angry, sad, or sad, and she was the culprit who caused them so much pain. She shook a few times, took a step back, and held her hand against the wall.

"Grandma, are you alright?"

Ruojun shook her head, she didn't know how ugly her face was, she tried to calm down, and asked, "How is Ruikang's injury?" ”

Zhou Fu sighed and said, "Listening to Zhou Gui, the injury is not light, so you can only sleep on your stomach." ”

Her heart is like a knife, how can he be so stupid and stubborn? frowned and took a breath: "Zhou Fu, you take the eldest young master back, the doctor said that this place is too simple and not suitable for the eldest young master to recuperate." ”

"Hey, okay, I'll call Zhou Gui to come in and help." Zhou Fu was about to walk out, thought about it, stopped, turned around and asked, "What about you?" You're not going back? ”

After thinking for a while, she finally shook her head, she was the trigger of this storm, and now she went back to add fuel to the fire.

"This ...... Then I'll let Cuiliu stay with you, and go back to tell Mrs. Ming. ”

She nodded and instructed, "On the way back, remember to go to the herb shop to grab medicine and take good care of the eldest young master." ”

Zhou Fu turned around and went out to call Zhou Gui, Ruojun returned to the bedside, at this time Ruian slowly woke up, coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "I...... I...... If I don't go back, I'm ...... ...... with you" His throat hurts, but try to pronounce as clearly as possible.

Mei Ruojun frowned deeply and held his hand and said, "When you get better, come and pick me up, and you can always accompany me." She coaxed him like a child. He looked at her for a moment, then nodded.

//

Although Mei Ruojun tries her best to avoid the center of the storm, sometimes people's fate is often not in their own hands, and everything around you will push you into one wind and wave after another.

When Mrs. Zhou saw her sick and groggy eldest son return home, she was distressed and angry, and in front of Zhou Fu, Zhao's mother, and Yanxi, she couldn't help the long-pent-up anger in her heart, and suddenly changed her usual noble and elegant, her eyebrows were upside down, her voice trembled, and she blurted out: "What kind of heart is this Mei Ruojun'an?" Do you want to kill Ryan? Why did Ryan become like this? Her husband was so sick that she actually let him come back alone? How unreasonable! The furious Mrs. Zhou had long forgotten that she herself did not let Mei Ruojun come back.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou so angry, everyone stood aside with their hands bowed, not daring to say more.

"Smack!" Mrs. Zhou slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "Let Zhou Gui go to Mei's house now and pick her up for me, I want to ask her, what did she do to Ryan?" She is the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, so she should come back to serve her husband without clothes, but she dares to leave her seriously ill husband and live alone in her mother's house? Go, go now! ”

Master Zhou is lying on the bed sickly, Ruikang is lying on the bed with injuries all over his body, and Ryan is so sick that the three men he loves fall down one by one, and they are all directly or indirectly connected with a person behind him, Mei Ruojun!

The raging anger in Mrs. Zhou's heart was unbearable, and the fire of her anger had jumped on her face, making Zhao's mother, Yanxi and others feel very panicked. She has already made up her mind to teach Mei Ruojun a good lesson!

//

I returned to the gray tile and white wall of the Zhou family compound, and when I got off the car, I saw a pair of carved bamboo and plum double happiness half-person high drum stones in front of the bright vermilion gate, and when I looked up, it was the conspicuous six cylindrical household pairs, which were quietly telling the glory of the master's family.

Mei Ruojun frowned slightly, and the moment she stepped into the threshold, she felt like she was back in a cage, a cage with carved beams and paintings, magnificent, unable to love, hate, cry or laugh. Mrs. Zhou was in such a hurry to let Zhou Gui take her back, would it be because she was pitiful and lonely? Could it be because of the fear of missing her? Nature is unlikely. She knew that a hurricane was waiting for her when she returned.
