Chapter 110: Life at the Border

In the battle of Tongguguan, although in the end the Great Jin turned defeat into victory, and reversed the tide of the battle with a battle, and won a complete victory, Mei Zijin almost lost his life in this battle.

After the Great Chu escaped from the pass after the defeat, the sealed gate of Tonggu Pass was finally reopened, and Tonggu Pass also returned to the world from hell.

Because Tongguguan has been reduced to a ruin, it will take time to rebuild, and there are still many affairs to deal with in the city, such as the corpses on the street, in such a hot summer, they must be buried and disposed of as soon as possible.

Tongguguan was uninhabitable, and after the sealed city gate was opened, Mei Zijin, who was seriously injured, was sent to Zhangcheng for treatment.

And Nameless, after the defeat and escape of the Chu army, he returned the silver spear and the tiger talisman jade card to Mei Zijin, and before the city gate was opened, he went down from the city tower, returned the purple dragon Yuyu to Shui Qingqing, who was anxiously waiting, and told her the news that the Great Jin had won and Mei Zijin was still alive, and left with Liu Yin.

Looking at the nameless who left silently, Shui Qingqing felt heartache and reluctance in her heart, and couldn't help but catch up, "Where are you going?" ”

Liu Yin was about to reply to her, but Nameless grabbed in front of her and said coldly: "We have other things to do." ”

Nameless didn't want Shui Qingqing to know that they went back to the capital to find Li You to seek revenge, he looked at her quietly, pressed the reluctance and pain in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Say goodbye here, maybe we won't see each other again in this life, take care of the county lord!" ”

Shui Qingqing saw that Nameless was hiding it from her, her heart was sour, she barely squeezed out a smile, and said softly: "You guys should also take care." ”

Liu Yin got into the carriage, half a step behind without a name, and before getting into the carriage, she looked back at Shui Qingqing again, and obviously had a thousand words in her heart to say to her, but she couldn't say a word.

And Shui Qingqing was grateful to him in his heart when he saw that he put aside his hatred and saved Mei Zijin in Tonggu Pass and saved the battle, and at the same time, he was even more relieved, hesitated for a moment, and finally called him again before stepping into the carriage without a name, and plucked up the courage to say: "Nameless, if you have the opportunity to return to the capital again, you ...... Can you go to the Hou Mansion to see the old lady? ”

As soon as these words came out, Nameless's whole body trembled slightly, and he looked back at her with deep eyes.

Shui Qingqing clenched the things in her hand and continued to persuade: "Old Madam Hou has been looking for you everywhere, no matter what, you are her son, the old lady is reluctant to give you up in her heart, I am afraid that the old lady will have a last resort, so I ......"

"So you think I'll forgive her if I let go of my hatred?!"

Interrupting her words coldly, Nameless said coldly: "I rescued Mei Zijin today, it doesn't mean that I let go of my hatred and forgive the people of the Mei family. It's just that in the face of the national disaster, I temporarily let go of the personal enmity in my heart......"

After that, Nameless didn't stop any longer, turned into the carriage and left......

Shui Qingqing's hands hung down weakly-

She originally thought that Nameless was willing to take the initiative to save Mei Zijin, representing that he had let go of the hatred he had accumulated for twenty years, so she would try to persuade him to go back to the capital to see Mrs. Hou.

Unexpectedly, he still couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart after all......

The clenched palm slowly loosened, and inside was a little finger that touched the white silk wrap.

thought that Nameless let go of hatred, Shui Qingqing wanted to take this opportunity to return it to him, but in the end, after listening to his last words, she didn't have the courage to return it to him......

Soon after Nameless left, the sealed city gate was finally opened, and Mei Zijin, who was seriously injured, was sent to Zhangcheng for treatment.

Mei Zijin was already seriously injured and had not healed, and after forcibly fighting with Chu Ze this time, he tore open a freshly scabbed wound again, and was seriously injured by Chu Ze in a few more places, so after waiting for the victory of the Great Jin Dynasty, the person also fell into a coma again.

He did not wake up again until three days later.

After waking up, Mei Zijin looked at Shui Qingqing who was guarding his side, looked at the familiar eyebrows and eyes, and smelled the faint mint fragrance on her body, he seemed to be dreaming.

Once upon a time, when he ordered the closure of the city, he was determined to fight to the death with Da Chu, so he didn't expect to see Shui Qingqing alive again.

Holding her hand with difficulty, Mei Zijin looked at Shui Qingqing, who was haggard and worried, and said in a hoarse voice: "You guys...... Are you all right? ”

Seeing him wake up, Shui Qingqing's heart hung high for three whole days before she settled down, clenched his hand and smiled bitterly: "We are all fine...... Hou Ye recuperates with peace of mind, don't worry about us. ”

After that, let Xiaoxi carry Yun'er to the side of the bed and show him.

When she saw that Yun'er and her were safe and sound, Mei Zijin finally put her mind at ease.

The eyes swept over the people in front of the bed, 6 Lin Sanshi and they were all there, but they didn't see a nameless figure.

Mei Zijin's eyes dimmed, and she couldn't help but look at Shui Qingqing, with a hint of hope in her expression, and her tone could not hide her urgency: "What about him?" ”

From the moment he looked around the house for someone, Shui Qingqing knew that the person he was looking for was nameless!

With a faint uneasiness in her heart and a hint of sadness, Shui Qingqing lowered her voice and smiled softly at him: "He has other things to do, so let's go first." ”

Hearing that Nameless was gone, Mei Zijin's eyes became darker and darker, and his expression also revealed disappointment and sadness......

In this way, after the war ended, Mei Zijin took Shui Qingqing and others to live temporarily in Zhangcheng and lived in the official office of Zhangcheng.

Although the official office is not big, fortunately, there are not many women and servants around Mei Zijin, except for the house where he lives, Shui Qingqing takes Yun'er Xiaoxi to live in two rooms, 6 Lin lives in one, and the rest are subordinate servants.

And in order not to let too many people know Yun'er's identity and cause trouble to Shui Qingqing, in the main courtyard where they lived, except for Xiaoxi and Sanshi who followed and served, as well as 6 Lin who treated Mei Zijin, the other servants only served in the outer courtyard, and they could not approach the main courtyard without permission.

Therefore, in the small house, although it is simple and the conditions are not comparable to the Hou Mansion and the Bai Mansion in the capital, Shui Qingqing is extremely satisfied.

Being able to live a quiet life with Yun'er and Mei Zijin like this is the life that Shui Qingqing dreams of.

Therefore, although Shui Qingqing was worried about Mei Zijin's body, her mood was never satisfied and calm......

Mei Zijin is the same, with Shui Qingqing and Yun'er by his side, he feels that all his previous efforts and hardships are worth it, and his mood is unprecedented contentment and joy.

is in a good mood, coupled with the careful care of Shui Qingqing and 6 Lin, Mei Zijin's wound this time is much better than last time, and in less than ten days, he can walk around the ground again, and he can still take Yun'er to the yard to play......

Every time she sees Mei Zijin standing together with Yun'er in her arms, Shui Qingqing is both relieved and happy, but also sad and uncomfortable, and she can't help but think of the wing room of the Luoyue Nunnery that night, and the man that night, Yun'er's biological father!

Although she had covered it up with Mei Zijin before, Yun'er's biological father was dead. But she knew very well in her heart that Yun'er's biological father was not dead, and he must be alive somewhere in this world, maybe one day he would suddenly appear to break the happiness she had so hard-won......

Every time she thinks of this, Shui Qingqing feels sad, regretful, panicked and scared-

She hated why she didn't know Mei Zijin earlier, and why her life was so unbearable before she met him.

Even if Mei Zijin doesn't mind, she hates herself......

And she is even more afraid that Yun'er's biological father will suddenly appear one day, which will not only break her current happiness, but also snatch Yun'er from her side, and expose her lies in front of Mei Zijin......

She couldn't imagine what she would do if that day really came. Will she still survive......

Shui Qingqing, who was worried and worried, never dreamed that Yun'er's biological father stayed with them every day and loved her and their children deeply......

After Mei Zijin's health improved, Chen Zijin led the generals to visit, and personally sent a letter from Emperor Ming of Jin to call him to lead the three armies back to Beijing to receive the reward.

After reading the holy decree, Mei Zijin's expression sank imperceptibly.

Thinking of going back to the capital to receive the reward, Chen Zijin had long since lost the despair when he apologized for his sins on the city tower that day, and his expression was full of joy. Looking forward to Mei Zijin's order to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

But after Mei Zijin read Emperor Jin Ming's letter, his face was solemn and he remained silent.

Chen Zijin couldn't figure out what he was planning in his heart, so he had to say tentatively: "Hou Ye can slowly raise his body, and his subordinates will lead the three armies to prepare for returning to Beijing, and when Hou Ye is resting, we will set off again......

"No need, Ben Hou has decided to guard the border pass. Therefore, it is up to you to take the three armies back to Beijing to receive the reward. ”

Interrupted him coldly, just for a moment, Mei Zijin's expression was already firm.

As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Zijin was surprised, but even Shui Qingqing, who was hiding behind the screen, was also surprised.

When Chen Zijin and the others came in, Shui Qingqing was taking Yun'er to play in Mei Zijin's house.

Chen Zijin and the others were in too much of a hurry, and when they arrived at the door of the house, Shui Qingqing was afraid that they would collide head-on when they went out, so they had to hold Yun'er and avoid behind the screen in the middle.

When he was in Tonggu Pass, Mei Zijin told Shui Qingqing that he would stay at the border with her and Yun'er and never return to the capital.

Shui Qingqing didn't expect that he would really do this......

And Chen Zijin couldn't believe his ears, and he didn't understand the reason why Mei Zijin did this.

You must know that this time the Great Jin Dynasty was able to turn defeat into a victory over the combined forces of Chu and Hu Di, and Mei Zijin contributed a lot.

There is no doubt that the emperor's reward this time is also extraordinarily valuable and exciting.

However, he didn't even return to the capital, and gave himself the credit for this earth-shattering without caring about it? !

Chen Zijin looked at Mei Zijin with an indifferent face in astonishment, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and confirmed in disbelief: "Master Hou...... Are you planning not to return to the capital? ”

Mei Zijin didn't raise his eyelids, and said coolly: "I will write a good request." I also asked General Chen to hand it over to the emperor on my behalf. ”

With Mei Zijin's words, Chen Zijin, who couldn't believe that there was such a good thing, finally believed that Mei Zijin didn't lie to him.

Holding back the excitement and joy in his heart, Chen Zijin respectfully said goodbye to Mei Zijin and was about to exit the room, when suddenly, a child's cry came from behind the screen in the house.

But it was Yun'er who was clamoring to find Mei Zijin to play with him, and cried impatiently behind the screen.

Suddenly hearing the cry of a child in Mei Zijin's house, Chen Zijin was stunned, and a bright light flashed in his heart-

When he was in the capital before, he had heard the crown prince Li You say that the prince of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion may not be dead and is still alive in the world, but he doesn't understand why Mei Zijin wants to announce the news of the death of the prince? !

Intuitively, Li You felt that there was a secret in this 'deceased' Hou Fu prince, and this secret was likely to be fatal to Mei Zijin's death......

Thinking of this, Chen Zijin couldn't help but stop his steps, and looked behind the screen with puzzled eyes.

However, the child's cry was heard and then disappeared.

Without waiting for Chen Zijin to listen carefully, Mei Zijin had coldly ordered the guest: "You guys retreat, Ben Hou is going to rest." ”

Sanshi personally sent Chen Zijin and the others out, and closed the door smoothly.

As soon as the person left, Mei Zijin hurriedly came to the back of the screen, but saw Shui Qingqing covering Yun'er's mouth nervously.

When Mei Zijin saw it, her face sank, she stepped forward to take her hand away, took Yun'er from her arms, and hugged her into her arms, and rarely sank her face in front of Shui Qingqing, and said bitterly: "What's wrong with him crying a few times?" How can you cover his mouth, how uncomfortable he is......"

Shui Qingqing felt guilty and sad, she knew that the person outside was Chen Zijin, and Chen Zijin was the person of the crown prince Li You, she didn't dare to let him Xianyun'er exist, for fear that after Li You knew, she would use Yun'er to deal with Mei Zijin.

Therefore, Fang Caiyun'er suddenly cried, and in a panic, she had no choice but to cover his mouth with her hand.

Now seeing Yun'er hiding in Mei Zijin's arms and crying aggrievedly, she is distressed to death.

And when she thought that Yun'er's existence would always threaten Mei Zijin in the future, she was even more heartbroken-

She didn't want Yun'er to become a sharp blade used by others to hurt Mei Zijin, because in the end, if Mei Zijin was injured, Yun'er would also be injured......

Thinking of this, Shui Qingqing's heart became more and more sad and sad, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Mei Zijin, who had just coaxed Yun'er, saw Shui Qingqing crying again, thinking that what she had just said was too heavy, which made her sad, and she couldn't help but panic.

In fact, Mei Zijin also understood in her heart that Shui Qingqing's actions were forced to do so, and she also knew the scruples and worries in her heart, and she also understood that everything she did was for him and Yun'er.

Sweet and sad in her heart, Mei Zijin handed Yun'er to Sanshi, asked Sanshi and Xiaoxi to accompany Yun'er to play in the yard, and went back to the house and pulled Shui Qingqing to the desk.

He wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "Come, crying little lady, help your husband sharpen ink!" ”

Hearing Mei Zijin's title, Shui Qingqing immediately blushed with shame.

She had already guessed that he was going to write a request to Emperor Jin Ming, her heart trembled, and she couldn't help but step forward and hold the end of the jade pen in his hand, and her eyes as clear as a spring looked at him fixedly, and she mustered up the courage to tremble and said: "Master Hou...... Is it really decided? ”

The evening glow through the open window dyed the room with warm colors, but it could not brighten Shui Qingqing's pale face.

She knew what it meant when Mei Zijin put down the pen.

However, in order to give her the life of her dreams, he gave up everything in the capital. And what did she give him?

She couldn't give him anything, not even a baby......

In fact, these days, watching Mei Zijin's love for Yun'er, Shui Qingqing has become more and more sad.

She could tell that he liked children very much.

However, Sheng Fang and 6 Lin both told her that her uterus was damaged, and it was difficult to have children in this life.

In other words, she can't give birth to a child for Mei Zijin in this life, and she can't do anything for him......

So, is it really okay for her to keep him by her side?

In her ears, the words that Princess Leyi questioned her sounded-

Why, why are you occupying Hou Ye alone?!

The hand holding the pen tube trembled slightly, and Shui Qingqing smiled bitterly: "Master Hou still thinks about it again, thinks about it carefully and then makes a decision......

From the moment Shui Qingqing held the jade hao he was about to write, Mei Zijin felt the grief and faint sadness in her heart.

He looked back at her eyes, and saw the sadness and grief in her expression, and his heart ached.

On his face, he joked and said: "I told you when I was in Tonggu Pass before - don't you believe the words of the dignified marquis?" ”

Shui Qingqing held back the grief in her heart and said with a sneer: "I believe in you, but ...... If you really live with me, what will Aunt Tang do? Don't you care about them......"

Seeing that she was worried about this, Mei Zijin smiled indifferently: "They can live a good life in the Hou Mansion." And I'll have you by my side......"

"But I can't have children for you......"

The words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time blurted out, and Shui Qingqing smiled sadly: "Hou Ye has known for a long time, I can't ...... for Hou Ye anymore"

"It's enough for us to have Yun'er!"

Mei Zijin suddenly felt a little suffocated in her heart, and without thinking about it, she interrupted her next words, and said firmly: "From the beginning to the present, in my heart, Yun'er has always been my Mei Zijin's biological son, why do you need to worry about this?!" ”

Listening to his words, the more sad Shui Qingqing felt in her heart, the more she felt sorry for him!

However, Mei Zijin was heartbroken about what happened to her, and she didn't want her to blame herself for the harm that others had done to her.

Looking at her tightened brows, he clenched her cold little hand, and said movingly: "Don't feel guilty about me, you have suffered enough for me, and you can still muster the courage to break the world's vision, and I am ......content with me."

"So, for the rest of the time, you and I will take Yun'er to live a good life here, don't worry about it anymore, okay?"

Mei Zijin's generous and warm palm wrapped her cold hands, and the warmth on his hands warmed her hands little by little, and it warmed her heart even more......

Tears welled up again, and Shui Qingqing choked up: "Won't there be regrets in the heart of Master Hou?" ”

Although he is willing to treat Yun'er as his biological son without any reluctance, Yun'er is not his biological son after all......

How she wished that Yun'er was really his biological son......

"Regret what?"

Mei Zijin smiled and scratched her crying red nose, and said bitterly: "Little fool, with you by my side, I am satisfied, what regrets do I have - Ben Hou has no regrets in this life!" ”

After that, Mei Zijin did not hesitate any longer, dipped in full ink, and wrote the letter like a fly, and in an instant he had already written the folds of the request, asking Emperor Jin Ming for permission, so that he could guard the border pass and not return to Beijing.

In the compromise, Mei Zijin explained to Emperor Jin Ming in a righteous and stern way that Shui Qingqing's departure from Beijing was not to elope with the guards, but to go to the border to find him, and when he was blocked, he had to leave quietly.

At the end of the twist, Mei Zijin once again asked Emperor Jin Ming for the grace of marriage, and asked Emperor Jin Ming to read the credit for him to guard the border pass for the Great Jin Dynasty, and officially married him to the county lord of Guanqing!

Half a month later, after dealing with the border affairs, the three armies, under the leadership of the hussar general Chen Zijin, returned to Beijing in a mighty manner......

As soon as the army left, the entire border pass felt a lot deserted, but for Mei Zijin and Shui Qingqing, it was a rare tranquility.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, now even Chen Zijin and others are gone, and only Mei Zijin and Shui Qingqing are left at the border, and their lives are quiet and leisurely!

After nearly two months of recuperation, Mei Zijin's injuries finally healed, and he rode a horse every day with Yun'er and Shui Qingqing, and walked all over the large and small cities and mountains in the border passes, and Yun'er has also learned to stagger, with seven or eight teeth in her mouth, and she can call her father with a milky voice.

Ren didn't expect that Yun'er opened her mouth to learn to speak, and the first call was 'Daddy'!

For this reason, Mei Zijin was happy to see only her eyebrows and eyes, and she was reluctant to sleep at night, holding Yun'er and reluctant to let go.

And Yun'er's young age is very good at looking at people's eyes, seeing that Mei Zijin is happy, her father screams even more happily, and Mei Zijin responds without a word.

For a while, only two voices were heard in the entire official office, one large and one small, responding, and it was very lively!

It was late at night, Shui Qingqing woke up from a nap, Mei Zijin still took Yun'er to play happily on the warm kang, and couldn't help but have a headache.

is like this every night, if she doesn't drive him away, Mei Zijin will never take the initiative to leave her house.

No, Shui Qingqing had to give him a look and let him go back to his house so that Yun'er could sleep.

Mei Zijin didn't seem to see her eyes, and rolled on the kang with Yun'er, pretending to be a horse and carrying Yun'er to climb around on the kang, which made Yun'er happy, dancing and playing more and more excited, his eyes were bright and bright, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Shui Qingqing watched from the sidelines, angry and funny.

The two of them have to play a game of horseback riding every night, the small one is not tired, the big one is not annoying, and they are reluctant to sleep every time they play.

She stepped forward and hugged Yun'er from Mei Zijin's back, and said, "It's not early, Master Hou should go back and rest, Yun'er is going to sleep too." ”

Mei Zijin seemed to be tired of playing with Yun'er, turned over and lay on the kang on all fours, and sighed: "Alas, I'm tired, I don't want to move anymore - I'll sleep here tonight." ”

Although the words were affirmative, he raised his eyes to look at Shui Qingqing standing by the kang with a weak heart.

Shui Qingqing's face turned red, and she said angrily: "Hou Ye is like this every night, like a laipi...... If you do this again, after dinner tomorrow night, Hou Ye will rest in his own room, and don't come over to play with Yun'er again. ”

"Just sleep one night."

Mei Zijin not only got up, but also moved her body into the kang, "I just want to sleep with you all night, what if Yun'er calls her father at night?" ”

"He's asleep, and he won't call his father anymore - even if he does, it's still a dream, and it doesn't matter if he shouldn't......"

"No, what if he calls Daddy and I don't respond to him, and he won't call him in the future? Are you responsible? ”

Mei Zijin's deep eyes are the same as Yun'er's eyes, and they are also shining brightly.

Shui Qingqing didn't dare to look at his eyes, she held back the throbbing in her heart, and said disapprerovingly: "Okay, if he calls you at night, I will help you respond for the time being-so, Hou Ye can rest assured that he can go back to sleep!" ”

Mei Zijin still didn't leave.

He said: "You two sleep comfortably with each other every day, leaving me alone in an empty room, and there is no one to warm the bed, which is really unfair." ”

Shui Qingqing couldn't say anything about him, so she had to take Yun'er to Xiaoxi's small bed and squeeze it, "Master Hou likes to sleep here, just sleep." ”

This trick is the most effective against Mei Zijin.

He immediately got up from the kang, gave way to the ground, and said abruptly, "I'm leaving." ”

Walking to the door, Mei Zijin turned around three times, looked at Shui Qingqing who returned to the kang with Yun'er in her arms, and said with a smile: "In three days, it will be Yun'er's first birthday, how are you going to spend it for him?" ”

Unconsciously, the midsummer was annihilated with the flames of war, and the autumn mood quietly came to the border town, but in a few days, the leaves of the mountains were dyed green and yellow.

Autumn has arrived, and Yun'er has turned one year old.

Three days later, Shui Qingqing and Mei Zijin held a warm first birthday banquet for Yun'er at home.

On the day of Yun'er's first birthday, early in the morning, Mei Zijin finally waited for the reply of Emperor Jin Ming in the capital.

It's just that what he never expected was that the one who sent the decree to the border would be his mother, Mrs. Hou......
