Twenty years have passed, as if in the blink of an eye after looking at each other.

Yingsleeve said to Yu Gengru on this day: "I'm old, my eyes haven't been very good lately, and yesterday I actually embroidered a branch of cold plum into a tender yellow." ”

Yu Gengru put down the book in his hand, turned around slowly, such a simple first action, but he was very difficult, seeing Ying sleeve sweeping dust everywhere with a feather duster, the window was open, the sun shone in, and the dust could be seen floating out of the window by the sun, and the apricot blossom under the eaves was in full bloom.

Yu Gengru smiled: "People in their forties are not old, do you want to become a fine." ”

Yingsleeve also laughed, and pointed at Yu Gengru: "Old thing." ”

The closest person, like flirting slang words, she said, stunned, when she realized something, she hurriedly saluted Yu Gengru deeply: "Master, don't blame, I'm used to playing with those mothers-in-law." ”

When she got up, Yu Gengru found that her hands were trembling when she was hanging down, Yu Gengru got up, went over, pulled her up, and asked, "Are you cold?" ”

Yingsleeve grabbed him, his hands trembled even more, and he pulled it back hard, bowed his head and said, "Go back to the master, the slave is not cold." ”

Yu Gengru smiled and said in a soft tone: "You haven't talked to me like this in your life, what's wrong with you today?" ”

Yingsleeve was obviously a little at a loss, pulling the feather duster, and after a while, a lot of light feathers had fallen on the ground, and he wanted to cry for no reason, and tried his best to hold it, and his voice was a little strange: "No, not much." ”

Yu Gengru grabbed her hand again: "I like to hear you scold me for being an old thing, I'm already older." ”

Yingsleeve finally couldn't cry: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Yu Gengru sighed: "I know you blame me, you have waited for me all my life, and guarded me for a lifetime, but I didn't even give you a name, you should blame me." ”

Ying Sleeve was startled and looked up: "I don't blame the master." ”

Yu Gengru pulled her to stand in front of the window, pointed to the delicate apricot blossom outside and said: "You are like this flower, you are willing to guard the spring, but the spring is annoyed that you have ruined your life, the apricot bears fruit, and there is hope, and you, what are you looking forward to?" ”

Just at this time, Xiao Amber swirled over like the wind, the pale clothes gave the sun a shine, and there was a cloud of white vapor in the fog, so old and so spring, worthy of the brightest scenery, he won the champion, and is the champion of both civil and military subjects, temporarily living in his grandfather's house, and so on to thank the master to worship the emperor, he is going back to see his parents outside the gate, he is in a hurry, and the long with the little guy behind him shouted: "The son of the world and so on!" ”

Xiao Hu laughed, and suddenly found Yu Gengru and Ying Sleeve standing at the window, Teng Teng ran over and saluted: "Grandfather, grandma." ”

Yu Gengru replied and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Xiao Hu said: "Go to the middle hall house to thank the teacher." ”

Yu Gengru waved his hand: "Then go, don't delay." ”

Amber saluted again and left.

Looking at his back, Yingsleeve said with feeling: "What I hope is that the children of Miss and Uncle will grow up, I treat Miss as the master, and Miss treats me like a daughter, this kind of feeling is not understood by outsiders." ”

Yu Gengru looked back at her, with a warm smile in his eyes: "I understand." ”

After that, he pulled his sleeves and turned back to sit at the table, took a sip of tea, then lowered his eyebrows and pondered, raised his head for a long time, and said solemnly: "We are married." ”

The feather duster in Yingsleeve's hand snapped to the ground, and his eyes were stunned in addition to dazedness.

Yu Gengru said: "If you don't think I'm old, let's get married." ”

Ying Sleeve finally understood what she heard, without the shyness of a young girl, but endless sorrow, poor life, finally waited for this sentence, but she said with tears: "God, get married, you are not afraid of making people laugh." ”

Yu Gengru snorted, full of disdain: "I didn't marry you for others to see, I don't care if he laughs or not." ”

Yingshou shook his head: "No, you see that Xiaohu is so big." ”

Yu Gengru said: "Master Zhang, who was on the other side of the door yesterday, just got married." ”

Yingsleeve picked up the feather duster, swept absentmindedly, and said while sweeping: "The stepfamily that Master Zhang married has just turned eighteen, but I am old, how can this be the same." ”

Yu Gengru said affectionately: "However, I, when you are still eighteen years old. ”

Yingsleeve looked back at him and sneered: "Coax me, look how much my hair is white, so I don't dare to look in the mirror." ”

Yu Gengru sighed softly: "You still blame me." ”

Yingsleeve hurriedly rushed over: "Master, I really don't blame you. ”

Yu Gengru picked up the teacup and ate tea, and was silent for a long time, Fang Youyou said: "Let me tell you about Shutong." ”

Shu Tong, that is, Mrs. Jade, the mother of Tamago.

At that time, Yu Gengru was a young man, studying medicine hard, wanting to hang a pot to help the world, a chance visit, met the daughter of the Qiao family, at first glance, shocked by the heavens, and never let go, but at that time he did not have Xuanhe's family background, and Shutong's father Qiao Gong was a well-known Confucian, he came to the door to ask for marriage, Qiao Gong categorically refused.

He did not give up and came to the door three times.

Qiao Gong refused three times.

He was not born brave, and he has the kind of nobility and stubbornness of a scholar in his bones, so he has been four times, five times, and six times...... When he came to the door for the ninety-ninth time to ask for marriage, Qiao Gong finally relented, but there was a condition that he could not take a concubine for the rest of his life.

He said yes very simply.

So, ten miles of red makeup paved the way, and Qiao Gong married a daughter with a lot of money.

Yu Gengru got what he wanted and hugged the beauty.

But after marriage, he found that Shu Tonghui had a blue heart, and she was one of the few good women in the world, and she was this excellent woman, but she often sighed in the middle of the night.

His wife was depressed, of course he had to ask each other, but Shu Tong deduced this and that, but he refused to tell the truth.

It wasn't until after the birth of his daughter Yugo that Shutong didn't get pregnant because of childbirth, so he persuaded Yugeng to take a concubine to continue the incense for him.

That night, the bright moon was like frost, the wind was like water, the clear scenery was infinite, Yugo had already been carried to sleep by the nurse, the husband and wife were walking in the patio, and Shutong opened his mouth to persuade Yugeng to take a concubine.

Yu Gengru refused without hesitation: "I said that if I don't accept a concubine for the rest of my life, how can I break my word." ”

Shu Tong said: "Now that my father has passed away, that is not true." ”

Yu Gengru's face was serious: "The old people don't dare to bully each other." ”

Then, he pointed to the sky: "I compare this heart to Mingyue, the reason why I don't accept a concubine is not because I promised the old father-in-law, but because in my life and next life, except for you, I can't tolerate any woman in my heart." ”

At that time, he clearly remembered that Shu Tong looked at him quietly, and finally burst into tears: "I just thought you were coaxing my father." ”

At that time, he finally understood why his wife often sighed secretly, because he was afraid that he would not be sincere.

Since then, the relationship between the husband and wife has become more harmonious.

Speaking of this, Yu Gengru looked at Ying Sleeve ashamedly: "Later, I found out that between men and women, there is also a kind of relationship called mutual affection. ”
