Chapter 67: Wait for Me
“…… Are you Kaede? ”
"Exactly! It's great that Senior Sister Liangyue still remembers me. The man outside the door, Wu Feng answered, and seemed happy that Liang Yue could remember him.
Only then did Liang Yue put her mind at ease, patted Zhao's mother's hand, and said, "It's okay, he's my junior brother, call him in." ”
Zhao's mother hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed the order to open the door.
Wu Feng saw the door open, and did not come in immediately, but stopped at the door, and hesitated: "I have some cold air on my body, so I won't go in, the master said that senior sister, you are inconvenient now, you have to be careful in everything." ”
Hearing him say this, Liang Yue was a little moved in her heart. I hadn't seen her for a long time, but the old man knew that he felt sorry for her.
"It doesn't matter, you come in and talk, it's not a cold winter, how can it be so delicate." Liang Yue was given a coat by Zhao's mother and sat down at the table.
Wu Feng stared at her stomach for a long time, as if he was puzzled: "Little nephew? He scratched his head again, looking a little silly.
Liang Yue understood what he meant, thought about it, and said, "I don't know it's a boy or a girl." Come and sit, don't stand stupidly. ”
Wu Feng answered, walked over and sat down, stared at her stomach again, and affirmed: "It must be the little nephew, it will definitely not be wrong." ”
His serious appearance not only made Liang Yue laugh, but also Mother Zhao couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Then borrow the little master's auspicious words. Young lady, are you hungry? He said to Wu Feng again, "I wonder if the little master has ever eaten?" ”
Wu Feng scratched his head, "I was in too much of a hurry when I came, so I didn't eat." ”
Liang Yue smiled: "That's right, eat some with me, and tell me how Master is doing lately?" ”
Qinglian was coming in with some fabrics, but when she entered the house, she suddenly saw a strange man in the inner room, and she was immediately frightened, but when she saw her young lady and the person talking happily, she relieved her mind and turned her head to find Zhao's mother.
"You came just in time, and you didn't even hear you shouting like that." Mother Zhao complained, looked at the fabric in her hand, and asked, "What is this?" ”
Qinglian's hands trembled, and she said a little proudly: "Naturally, it's the result of my day today, take a look, do the little clothes I made look good?" ”
When Zhao's mother heard this, she picked up a piece of cloth and took a closer look, and when she was difficult to identify that it was a pair of small pants, the expression on her face was difficult to describe. "This is what you did? Did it for a day? ”
Qinglian saw that her face was not quite right, but she still replied truthfully: "Yes, it took a lot of effort, isn't it beautiful?" ”
Mother Zhao: "......" really couldn't bear to hit her enthusiasm, but she was heartbroken that such a good material was ruined by her, so when she looked at Qinglian again, Zhao's mother's eyes were a little more caring.
"Qinglian, you are obedient, don't do these jobs anymore, I'll do it, you can accompany our young lady well, it's better than anything else."
Qinglian felt sorry for Zhao's mother, and immediately said happily: "Don't worry, Mother Zhao, I'm not tired at all, I'll take care of the young lady and make clothes while Ming'er!" After speaking, he happily opened the curtain and took it in to show Liangyue.
Mother Zhao: "......" is evil!
Because of Wu Feng's presence, Liang Yue's appetite was somewhat better, listening to him talk about those things outside, not only Liang Yue was happy to hear it, but even Qinglian was fascinated by it.
I thought that the imperial city was big enough, but I didn't expect that outside the imperial city, there was a broader world!
Those novel sights and heard, the beasts in the deep mountains, and the heroic deeds of walking the rivers and lakes all make people yearn for it.
Qinglian was fascinated by what she heard, and her face was yearning.
And Liang Yue smiled faintly, if she looked closely, her face still showed a little nostalgia - when she followed the master to the north and south before, she didn't feel anything, but she encountered something new, and she forgot it in a blink of an eye, but she just thought that it was fun for the master to give her a look, but she refused to teach her anything. Listening to Wu Feng now, she suddenly felt that the previous days were also very interesting, but now she can't go back to the past.
If you can't go back, you will miss it again in your heart, which is called nostalgia.
“…… Master also said yesterday that when he is free, he will come to see you. Before I came today, he said that he would come to see you when the opportunity came, Master, he was becoming more and more Shinto, and I think he was simply lazy and didn't want to move. Wu Feng said a lot, and at the end of the day, he didn't forget to complain about his master.
Liang Yue smiled: "Didn't you say that there is something to discuss with me?" ”
"Ah...... Yes, yes, something's coming. Wu Feng responded, but at the same time looked at Mother Zhao and Qinglian who were waiting next to him.
Liang Yue said: "Mother Zhao, Qinglian, you go outside first, pack these up, and don't need to come in again." ”
After confirming Wu Feng's identity and intentions, Zhao's mother did not doubt him, so she and Qinglian cleaned up the dishes and exited.
When there were only the two of them left in the room, Wu Feng took out a piece of Eryu Pei from his arms and pushed it down the table to Liang Yue's face. "Senior sister, this is what the master asked me to bring here, saying that this piece is with the piece he gave you, and the master said......"
Halfway through his words, Wu Feng suddenly blushed and paused.
Liang Yue picked up the jade pendant and looked at it, it was indeed the same as hers. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "So what?" What did Master say? ”
Wu Feng scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said, "Master, Master said...... Seeing this jade pendant is like seeing his deity, ask me to convey a word to your senior sister......"
Liang Yue patiently asked, "What words?" ”
Wu Feng paused again, held back for a long time, his face turned red, and seeing that Liang Yue was about to get impatient, he whispered: "Master said, let you clean up and follow me......"
Liang Yue smiled: "Is he old and confused or are you mistaken?" Doesn't he know that I'm married and have children? It's just that you're not mistaken, Master, he really said that, so look at it, how many steps can I walk like this? Besides, why should I go? ”
Wu Feng probably finally remembered Master's original words, his face was a little solemn, and he said thoughtfully: "Master, he is probably ...... I probably miss you, it just so happens that you are about to give birth, and when you get to the master's side, there is an extra layer of protection! When the time comes, when the little nephew lands safely, I'll send you back, isn't it great? ”
Liang Yue listened to the messy words he said, and couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Master, what does his old man want to do?" Remembering a play is a play. So, you go back and tell him, I'm doing well here, what are you going to do when you go back? Deep in the mountains and old forests, it's better here. ”
When Wu Feng heard her refusal, he was a little anxious, but he didn't know what to say to persuade her, say the master's original words, no, no, the master said that it was a heavenly opportunity, and it should not be revealed. Make up your own reasons, but I'm so stupid that I can't understand what I say normally, so I tell him to lie, and I promise to reveal my stuff as soon as I open my mouth.
Alas...... What can I do?
Wu Feng sighed unconsciously, feeling very sad.
Liang Yue looked at Wu Feng's obviously not very old age, but the sorrow on his face was extremely heavy, like a little old man, he couldn't help but feel funny, so he opened his mouth to comfort him: "What are you worried about?" You just have to pass the word, I said it, and he won't blame you indiscriminately. ”
Wu Feng thought to himself, it would be better to be scolded!
"Senior sister, you have to think about it, in the recent period, there has not been much peace in the imperial city, and the people who are in trouble are all in the dark, but you can't tell when and where they will appear, and which one will be harmed. It's really not that I'm scaring you, senior sister, I guess you've heard some of it, those things in the court are more complicated than the rumors, it's really not alarmist. You're still ...... Let's think more about yourself! ”
Wu Feng looked at her with a sincere face.
"Although the saint is old today, the dragon body has always been healthy, but recently there are rumors that the saint is suffering from a serious illness and is in danger. And the position of the crown prince has been vacant, there has always been a distribution in the court, and now at this time, all the powerful and powerful, no matter how big or small the officials, are watching to stand in line, the top is the official, the bottom is the people, like the Su family, the Xue family, and the Zhou family, the famous rich businessmen, the husband is not guilty, and the money of this rich country is the bane. Which of those wolf ambitions is not blushing? If you win over a family casually, then you have a strong material foundation, this prince dispute, the Su family will inevitably be implicated, if someone is willing to win over, it's better to say, if those people want to just do nothing, then the Su family will be in danger! ”
Wu Feng finished speaking with some eagerness, waiting for Liang Yue to respond.
He's right. The Su family does not have monstrous rights, but it has coveted wealth, which can be used as a symbol of national peace and security in the prosperous world, and the icing on the cake for the prosperous world. But if in troubled times, this wealth is the original sin, a piece of good fat, and everyone gets it and eats it.
Thinking of this, Liang Yue was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "What you said is right, if there is chaos one day in the future, the Su family is indeed very dangerous." But then the conversation changed, "But I still can't go." ”
Wu Feng was anxious: "Why, senior sister?" You know the danger, but you still insist on staying, are you stupid? If you had martial arts before, you would have been able to protect yourself. But look at you now, you have a big belly, you can't even walk fast, what can you do to protect yourself? Pointing to the Su family to protect you? ”
"It was because of the danger that I couldn't go. Because there are people I love here, and since I chose this place from the beginning, I absolutely cannot abandon them for the sake of self-preservation because of the danger in the future. I can't do that, and I don't want to. Liang Yue refused simply and directly.
Wu Feng was stunned when he saw her resolute attitude, and asked her, "Is it because of that Su Yi?" ”
Master often said that Senior Sister and her Ruyi Langjun were very affectionate. Now it seems that it is true.
It's just that he still can't understand it, and he's deeply confused: can love or something be more important than his life?
The two talked for a long time, but in the end, Wu Feng failed to persuade Liang Yue to go back with him, and even Liang Yue was about to start driving people away, Wu Feng had no choice but to give up.
In the end, Wu Feng put away the jade pendant token, glanced at Liang Yue deeply, said goodbye, and pushed the door and left.
Mother Zhao heard the movement, came in and waited for Liangyue to lie down, got the order to go down and rest, turned off the lights, and then withdrew.
But Liang Yue opened her eyes in the darkness, looked at the tassels on the bed curtain, and fell into deep thought.
I pretended to have something in my heart, and I slept in a daze, but after a while, I woke up by myself, and after waking up, I always felt that my heart was not steady, and I was very depressed, and I wanted to find someone to talk to her, but she had no one to call. Zhao's mother only cares about whether she eats well and sleeps well every day, while Qinglian is still a little girl, childish. The others are all small maids and little maids, what can they understand?
Liang Yue sighed and forced herself to close her eyes again.
Now she fell asleep, but the chaotic dreams came one after another, until a fire rose into the sky, swallowing everything in the dream, along with herself.
"Ahh
Liang Yue woke up suddenly, opened her eyes, looked at the familiar furnishings in the house, and was in a trance for a moment, only then did she come back to her senses, it turned out that it was a dream that was so terrible......
Thankfully, it was just a dream.
Liang Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and moved, only to find that she was a little slimy on her body, and she was actually in a cold sweat.
"What's wrong with the young lady?" Mother Zhao heard the movement and hurriedly came in to see her, "What's the matter?" Got a nightmare? ”
Seeing that Liangyue's face was a little pale, Zhao's mother was very distressed, so she hurriedly went over to help her up and sit half-sitting, and called Qinglian to bring a warm handkerchief to wipe her face.
"I'm fine, I just had a bad dream." Liang Yue smiled, but asked Mother Zhao again, "Mother Zhao, you say, is it good or bad to dream of walking in the water?" ”
"This ......," Zhao's mother said, "Dreams come from the other side, maybe it's a good thing?" ”
"A good thing about booming?" Liangyue said to herself, I hope it's a good thing.
"The young master is back!" Qinglian shouted.
Su Yi snorted, went straight to Liangyue, took the handkerchief in Zhao's mother's hand, saw that her face was not very good, and asked, "Didn't sleep well last night?" ”
Liang Yue hung her head and was silent.
Zhao's mother said: "Xu is young master didn't come back to accompany him, he was not used to it for a while, and the young lady said that she had a bad dream, and she was a little frightened, and she blamed the old slave for not being good and failing to take care of the young lady." ”
"Mother Zhao, Qinglian, you go out first." Liang Yue raised her head and walked away Mother Zhao and Qinglian before she looked at Su Yi and asked him, "Is it possible to stay at home with me every day after being busy for a while?" ”
Sensing that her mood was a little strange, Su Yi held her hand, put it to her mouth and kissed it, before saying, "Well, when I wait for a while, I won't go anywhere, I'll stay at home with you." ”
"And when are you going to be done?" Liang Yue asked again.
Su Yi frowned, and said to her truthfully: "Yue'er, the situation has been a little chaotic recently...... But don't worry, in one month, one month at the latest, I will be able to finish everything and be able to come back with you. Trust me, okay? ”
Liang Yue didn't answer whether it was good or bad, but just asked, "You have something to hide from me, right?" ”
Su Yi had never hidden anything from Liang Yue, and he would never lie to her, but this time, he hesitated.
Seeing this, Liang Yue couldn't help but say angrily: "I'm worried about you every day at home, and I finally waited for you to come back and ask you something, but you still have to vomit, isn't it good to say something directly?" You have to be angry before you can say it? ”
Su Yi hurriedly said: "Good Yue'er, don't be angry, I'll just say it." But you have to make sure that you can't be in a hurry or get angry after I'm done. ”
"You say it's what it is." Liang Yue pretended to be relaxed.
Su Yi saw that she insisted on listening, but she had no choice but to tell the truth. "Actually, before I came back, I went to the palace to receive the holy decree. The war on the border is tight, and the grain and grass in the rear is the top priority, and the Holy Lord chose me, and I am fully responsible for sending this batch of grain and grass to the border. The situation is urgent, and tomorrow ...... It's time to set off. ”
In fact, the emperor originally asked him to set off today, and the grain and grass had already been prepared and loaded into the car, and the soldiers who escorted him were also on standby. As soon as the leader gave the order, they set off for the border. But Su Yi was selfish, he knew that if he left without saying hello, Liangyue would have to be sad and sad, and he didn't know how long this trip would take, and it was okay to say that if there was any emergency on the road, he would have to delay for a little longer. Moreover, he really didn't worry that Liang Yue was alone at home, and he was reluctant.
So he found a high-sounding reason to delay it for a day. He knew in his heart that the border war was indeed tense, but it was not a day or two when he was nervous, and he did not wait for this day. Besides, he doesn't think he's a great saint, he doesn't want to have the world in mind, he doesn't want to have compassion for all sentient beings, and he doesn't want to give up his home for the sake of irrelevant people - he just wants to guard his wife well, and in this coming troubled world, he will guard a small world and live a peaceful and stable life.
See, once a person has a concern, his heart becomes selfish. Selfish enough to care about nothing but the person who worries about you.
Liang Yue listened, the expression on her face was faint, and she couldn't see joy and sorrow.
Su Yi approached and hugged her into his arms, as if comforting and assuring: "Yue'er, don't worry, although the border is far away, the people and horses given by the saint are the best, as long as you are in a hurry on the road, come and go, one month is enough." I will protect myself, go safely, come back safely, and when I come back, I won't go anywhere, just at home, with you and with my children, okay? In the days when I am not at home, you also have to take good care of yourself, take care of our children, and wait for me to come back with peace of mind, okay? ”
Liang Yue buried her face in his arms, and inexplicably wanted to cry.
But she knew that even if she cried, it would not help. What's more, she is not the character to cry and beg not to let him go, even if she has a thousand grievances in her heart, she can't say it.
After a long time, Liang Yueqiang held back her tears, stabilized her emotions, came out of his arms, looked into his eyes, and said softly: "You want to return safely, I will wait for you." ”
Su Yi had a smile on his face, but there were tears in his eyes: "Okay." Obediently, wait for me. ”
