Chapter Forty-Eight: Centennial Sixtieth Birthday
After washing her feet, Wei Qilang helped her lie down, the quilt was tightly covered, and he lay down, turned around like at home, and gently hugged her with one arm, Dong Ru's head was then tightly pressed against his collarbone, the long eyelashes blinked lightly, sweeping the delicate skin on the collarbone, Wei Qilang's body moved, and said: "It's very itchy, don't move, you're tired after a day's journey, go to sleep." ”
Dong Ru nodded, and then went silent.
The wind outside was getting more and more urgent, whistling and whimpering, and the windows rattled slightly, sounding like ghosts crying wolf.
...... After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes, looked up at Wei Qilang's handsome face in the dark, stretched out her hand and gently wrapped a strand of his hair, and asked softly, "Qilang, are you asleep?" ”
After a day's journey, Wei Qilang was also tired, she thought he had fallen asleep a long time ago, but she didn't think about it, as soon as she finished asking, Wei Qilang's eyes immediately opened, they were unusually clear, it looked as if he hadn't fallen asleep at all, turned his head to look at her, there was a faint pity in his eyes, and asked, "What's wrong with you, but you're not feeling well?" ”
Dong Ru was stunned, he didn't expect him to react so quickly, but he still told the truth: "It's just that I'm a little thirsty, and I feel that my abdomen is falling a little, and my whole body is pantothenic and weak." ”
"Then I'll pour you a glass of water, you wait." With that, Wei Qilang let go of her, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, put on his clothes and walked to the table to light the candle, and poured water for her.
He walked back with the water and sat on the edge of the bed, lifted her with one arm, handed her the water, watched her finish drinking, helped her lie down again, put the cup aside, and then put his hand on her abdomen to feel, Shaoqin, frowned, and said: "It seems that it is soon, maybe it will be born in this month or a few days in the future." He reached out to catch her pulse and instructed: "You have to be extra careful these days, and tell me if you feel any discomfort in your body, remember?" ”
Dong Ru nodded, but her face showed fear again, and she said worriedly: "However, the month is insufficient, will it affect the fetus?" ”
Wei Qilang kept frowning, obviously thinking about it for a long time, and the thought that he had been worried about for a long time floated in his heart, but he still doted on her, touched her cheek, and smiled softly: "No, don't worry, I'm here." As he spoke, he reached out and lifted Dong Ru's middle coat, put his hand in, applied it to her belly, rubbed her gently, soothed her discomfort, and said, "Sleep, I'll accompany you." ”
"But I can't sleep." Dong Ru lay flat on the bed, looked at Wei Qilang, with a look of fear and worry in his eyes, and said: "I heard from the sisters in the countryside that giving birth to a child is very painful and painful, if I arrive on that day, what should I do?" Moreover, there used to be a bride in our village, because her belly was too big, and it was difficult to give birth on the day of delivery, and finally the baby was born smoothly, but the person was gone, in case I couldn't hold on......"
"What nonsense!!" Wei Qilang suddenly broke off and interrupted her, looked at her with frowning eyebrows, stopped from her stomach and grabbed her hand tightly, and said, "I won't let that happen to you, just take it easy honestly, and leave the rest to me, don't worry about this." ”
Dong Ru didn't speak, a pair of eyes just stared at him with water, and Wei Qilang also looked at her like this. After a long time, there was pity in his eyes, and his tone was soft, but a little painful, and he said, "Do you remember when you almost slipped the tire? At that time, you were on the verge of life and death, and you survived, are you still afraid now? ”
He looked at Dong Ru deeply, slowly leaned over and pecked Dong Ru's forehead, then his eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, and finally stopped at her collarbone, buried his head in her shoulder socket and took a deep breath, and said in a somewhat dull voice: "I haven't seen my mother since I was born, and I thought she was giving birth to me, so she died in childbirth on the spot, so I grew up alone." Later, when I became sensible, I realized that my mother was not dead at all, but left me and left me away......"
He slowly got up and sat up straight, and as he spoke, his expression was very calm, as if these matters were none of his business, and continued: "But even though I hate her, I don't blame her, she abandoned me for her last resort. I only met her once, when she was about to die. She smiled when she saw me, and said to me: I betrayed you back then, abandoned you, and failed to fulfill the responsibility of being a mother, and she has no qualifications even if she repays it in this life, if I meet the girl I like in the future, I will marry her, take good care of her, and don't let her be hurt again, because there are too many people in this world who are suffering and hurting. ”
He said this lightly, Dong Ru was shocked when she heard it, she remembered that she asked Wei Qilang before, saying that when she settled down in the future, she asked him to take her to see his mother, at that time I thought that his mother was still alive, and I didn't think much about it, but when I heard it today, I didn't expect that Wei Qilang's mother had passed away early, and she never thought about it.
Dong Ru looked at him, her heart gradually ached, she suddenly realized that she had never paid serious attention to his heart, for a long time, she had been enjoying it safely, being a self-conscious, so-called wife should fulfill the responsibilities and obligations, but she never thought about it for him.
Alone? What is it like to grow up alone as a child? Dong Ru is taken care of by her parents, although her family is poor, she loves her very much, and she has no views on the high and low of men and women, so she doesn't understand, and she can't imagine how painful it is.
After being silent for a long time, she was going to ask Wei Qilang's identity, but at this moment, she forgot about it in her heart, her eyes were shining, she only hated how stupid she was before, and said that she had done her best to fulfill the obligations of a wife, but today in front of such a heavy topic, she felt ashamed, she was so stupid, and she was very disgusted with herself.
Slowly grabbed his hand, didn't get up, stared at him deeply, his eyes were full of self-reproach, his voice was choked, and he said softly: "Qilang...... I'm sorry, I, I'm not a good lady, if you don't say it today, I can't think of this, I just found out that I have never really understood your heart, I am not a good wife. ”
"When I mentioned your mother that day, you must have been very painful in your heart, but for me, you buried it in your heart, why am I so stupid." Dong Ru said, tears fluttered and fell down, feeling sorry for him and ashamed of himself, he just wanted to suffer for him.
And Wei Qilang couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, but his eyes were full of emotion and pity, leaned over and kissed her tears gently, and said softly: "I knew that you would blame yourself and think too much about this, so I didn't say it, but today I can't help but say it, because my mother is right, if I marry you, I should let you enjoy happiness, instead of suffering and bullying with me, so you just have to raise the baby with peace of mind, and leave everything else to me." ”
He said, his usual playful smile actually had some emotion, and his tone was gentle, "People in this world live for their own interests, from the emperor to the common people, more or less have their own last resort, but I met you, before I met you, I also felt that life was just like this, but you changed my opinion, from that time on, I realized that marrying you is the greatest wealth in my life." ”
"And my medical skills were originally used for self-defense, but now, they have really come in handy, and they don't live up to my years of hard work." He said with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at Dong Ru, wiped away the tears that flowed out again for her, and coaxed her with a smile: "Little fool, I'm still crying, I'm in a bad mood now, but it will directly affect the fetus, don't cry." ”
"And what's your mother's name? Can you tell me about it? Dong Ru calmed down, and only secretly told himself in his heart that he must remember his husband in the future, and he can't just enjoy himself as usual, he will be good to himself, he really likes her, and she can't ignore Wei Qilang's inner thoughts just because she likes it.
Wei Qilang hesitated before he whispered: "Her surname is Su, and her name is Su Cheng'er." ”
After speaking, his eyes were firmly fixed on Dong Ru's face, and when he saw that she didn't react when she heard this surname, his eyes gradually relaxed.
Noon on the fourth day.
"What a magnificent city, worthy of being the capital of Qingzhou!" Dong Ru poked his little head out of the inside of the mule cart and kept looking around, making exclamations from time to time.
Wei Qilang took Dong Ru to Yecheng, the capital of Qingzhou, the day before, and hurried slowly, and finally caught up before the start of the wedding festival.
Yecheng is one of the best cities within a radius of thousands of miles, there are many high-rise buildings and green tiles in the city, the eyes are full of it, the streets are also intricate, the main roads are connected to each other, all the way extends in all directions, leading to various places. The streets are full of people, because they are located on the border, close to the boundaries of a few famous people, and people in strange costumes can be seen everywhere, and the languages are also varied, and from time to time one or two unintelligible words can be heard.
The street is also full of shouting, shops are lined up, and restaurants are even more towering, a scene of wealth and nobility. And the wedding festival is approaching, there are suddenly more newlyweds on the street than usual, holding hands with each other, smiling happily from time to time, obviously for the happy days of their little couple, come to pray for blessings.
Dong Ru had never seen such a big city, and he was instantly stunned.
In terms of her experience, she has seen a small Jianglin Town, which is already amazing, but she didn't expect that there is a sky outside the sky, and Yecheng is a veritable big city, and the people who can live in this city, in her opinion, are either high-ranking officials or rich businessmen, in short, they are all big families, and they can't afford to provoke them.
