Chapter Seventy-Three: Let's Leave!
Gentlemanly and romantic
Where might Feng Wan come up with an idea? She sat on her knees without saying a word, her hands tightly clasped in her sleeves, as if she was afraid that something would wake up Zhao Jun, and she didn't dare to move.
Zhao Jun looked back a few times, and when he saw Feng Wan's timid expression, his heart was half cold.
After a long time, he stopped.
After a while, he flicked his sleeves and rushed out of the study, and it was not until he stepped into the carriage that Feng Wan walked out of the study.
Seeing Zhao Jun going out, Mei Niang hurriedly twisted in front of Feng Wan and said in a low voice, "Madam, what's wrong with him, husband?" ”
Her voice was soft, but not much uneasiness. From Zhao Jun's scolding, she felt that things didn't seem to be big.
Feng Wan didn't want to answer, just shook his head and returned to the room.
After Zhao Jun went out, he came back very late, and when he came back, he had a fat powder fragrance and a strong smell of wine.
It seems that he couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so he went to the Red Mansion to relieve his worries. Doesn't he know that his attitude is also very important at this moment, and that if His Majesty knows about it, will he conclude that he is not loyal and diligent enough?
Chen Rong wouldn't remind him, and Zhao Jun didn't seem to know. Next, he spent another day in the Red Mansion.
It was not until that evening that he took a bath, and with a pale face, he slowly stepped into the carriage and drove towards the palace.
Zhao Jun soon returned.
When he stepped out of the carriage, his steps were a little floating and a little heavy.
Back in the study, he lay upright, his eyes closed, and commanded tiredly, "Call Madame." ”
"Yes."
After a while, Feng Wan's gentle footsteps rhythmically came into his ears.
Then, Feng Wan called softly: "Master, are you looking for me?" ”
Zhao Jun slowly opened his eyes.
Looking straight at Feng Wan, after a while, his dry lips moved, "Wan Niang," his voice was hoarse, "I refused." ”
He showed a crying and laughing expression, and said in a dumb voice, "I will not go to the battlefield." ”
Facing Zhao Jun's face that was almost distorted in pain, Feng Wan said softly, "Master? ”
Before she spoke, Zhao Jun's dull voice continued to come, "I really don't know anything about Yu Bing's family affairs, and when I really go to the battlefield, I will only show incompetence...... When I made an excuse and said that I was unwilling to go on the expedition, His Royal Highness was annoyed, he said that I was reluctant to be a gentle township in the capital, and scolded me for being afraid of death. ”
The muscles of his cheeks jumped a few times, and he said bitterly: "Niang, I finally let Your Majesty and the Fifth Highness pay attention to me, and I disappointed them again."
Feng Wan was silent.
In her silence, Zhao Jun closed his eyes heavily.
He was motionless, breathing heavily, and the corners of his eyes were moist.
Feng Wan was also motionless, she looked down at her toes, her wide sleeves fluttering gently in the wind.
It took a long time for his hoarse voice to come again, "It's timid, it's greedy for comfort, after all, I am the one who alarmed His Majesty, and they all know that my military talent is no less than Wei Ziyang, and I can still create it." Wan Niang, don't you say? ”
In his self-indulgence, he wanted Feng Wan's affirmation.
Feng Wan nodded and said softly, "Yes." ”
This time, her comfort did not relieve Zhao Jun's troubles, he let out a long sigh and said, "Nai, Nai"
With a long sigh, he waved his sleeves and motioned for Feng Wan to step back.
For the next few days, Zhao Jun stayed in the house and stayed at home.
And when he was resting dullly, the military situation in the north was changing day by day, at the beginning it was only two or three clans attacking Chen Guo, and later, even the other two clans were ready to move
Chen Guo began an emergency mobilization, countless soldiers rushed to the front line, and all the generals and commanders were ordered to go to the battle.
The shadow of war began to loom over the entire capital.
On this day, Feng Wan took a turn outside as usual before coming back. As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, she heard an arrogant voice coming clearly, "Zhao Jun, why hasn't your wife come back yet?" Princess Ben misses her so much. ”
It's the voice of Princess Celestia
How did she get to Fuchu?
Feng Wan had the heart to avoid it, but at this time, the carriage had already driven into the mansion, and a maidservant girl was already shouting happily: "Madame is back." ”
As soon as the voice came out, it swished, and all eyes were fixed on this side.
The carriage stopped, and Feng Wan walked down slowly.
Seeing Feng Wan coming, the eldest princess's four white eyes showed a touch of pride. She glanced at Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun sighed secretly.
Seeing Feng Wan coming, he coughed and said slowly, "Wan Niang." ”
Feng Wan stopped.
At this time, Zhao Jun's voice raised a little, he frowned, and said gently: "Wan Niang, the eldest princess is here, don't you see it?" Why don't you bow to her? ”
Salute? Haven't I been in time yet?
As soon as Zhao Jun opened his mouth, he accused that it was all for the eldest princess to see, so he didn't wait for Feng Wan to refute, he continued with a calm face: "What are you doing in a daze?" The eldest princess just spoke, you kowtow to her here and slap yourself, and the past will be written off, and she doesn't want to care about it. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Jun's voice was a little nervous, and his eyes looking at Feng Wan were also a little urgent.
He knew Feng Wan's character, and he was so humiliated, he was afraid that his wife, who valued face too much, would not be able to stand it. However, the meaning of the eldest princess was very clear, and she really wanted to take a breath like this, so she revealed all the past things.
For Zhao Jun, Feng Wan is a woman, and it is a rare good thing to be able to reconcile with a princess just by losing face like this. She has to say yes if she agrees, and she has to agree if she doesn't agree
In Zhao Jun's series of words, Feng Wan's footsteps had stopped.
Want her to kowtow to Chen Ya, and slap herself again, so that she can expose her past grievances?
Well, with Chen Ya's character, if she really did this, she might accept it when she saw it. After all, there are people above who speak for themselves, right? Besides, if she is messing with the eldest princess like this, it is inconvenient for the eldest princess to see Zhao Jun, it is far better to reconcile.
It's just that Chen Ya doesn't know that the grievances between herself and her will never be exposed by Zhao Jun in this life, and she won't lose half of her face for him again
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Jun's voice landed, everyone swished at him, and the woman covered her lips and smiled secretly, but Feng Wan was motionless.
She stood there with her sleeves in the wind. The white neck was straight, and the beautiful eyes quietly looked at the eldest princess and Zhao Jun.
Slowly, Feng Wanyan smiled.
With her eyes rippling, Feng Wan looked at the eldest princess and said lightly: "The eldest princess came to the cold house in person, is it just for this matter?" ”
The corners of her mouth raised, and there was no smile in her eyes, "The concubine was in the past, and she offended the eldest princess." But doesn't Her Royal Highness the princess know that although the concubine is not talented, fortunately, she is also a master mother...... The concubine is afraid that the concubine will slap her down, and there will be no place for the concubine in this Zhao mansion. ”
Her voice was soft, soft, slow and clear, explaining to the Celestial Princess.
Zhao Junke was impatient to listen to her explanation, he frowned, his voice was raised, and he shouted: "If you are told to kneel, you will kneel, but it is just a slap, why are you talking so much?" Hurry up and do what Princess Celestia says. The rest of the things are blocked by your husband."
Are you standing in my way?
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Feng Wan almost burst out laughing, she had been with him for so many years, and she really hadn't seen him block anything for herself.
Raising her eyes lightly, Feng Wan didn't seem to hear Zhao Jun's shouting, she looked at the eldest princess quietly, her hands in her sleeves, her clothes were in the wind, and she smiled elegantly: "On that day, the concubine once said that she wanted me to walk around the palace more. If the eldest princess does not dislike it, the concubine is willing to enter the palace with the princess. ”
This is not simple, it is a heavy threat to the woman in front of her, threatening herself with the concubine
The eldest princess's oversized four white eyes were round at this time, and her whole face became more and more fierce
She glared at Feng Wan fiercely, and unconsciously pressed the whip on her waist.
Feeling the irrepressible anger of the eldest princess, all the concubines of the Zhao Mansion took a step back at the same time.
But to their surprise, Ming Ming was extremely angry, and the hand that was obviously pressed on the horsewhip was exposed, but the eldest princess was still standing there motionless, just panting, not moving.
Feng Wan was still looking at the eldest princess with a smile, she understood why the eldest princess had to endure it
…… After His Majesty's birthday, she was kept in confinement for her own affairs, and she has not been released until now. As soon as he came out, he found the Zhao Mansion, and he wanted to settle accounts with himself. But this account can't be calculated indiscriminately, and if the Empress Dowager accidentally knows, it will be another confinement.
What's more, the last time she was in Jinhong Temple, she was arrogant and domineering, and the fact that she offended the master in the temple has spread all over the aristocratic circle. Those girls of the same age didn't say it to their faces, but behind their backs, they were all talking about the scholars mentioning the wicked woman, there must be her eldest princess, and they also said that she would be the first princess who couldn't marry or something.
Therefore, the willful princess knows that she has to endure no matter what.
The eldest princess glared straight at Feng Wan and glared at Feng Wan.
Her eyes were already big, and they were a little protruding, and this one stared so hard that the whole eyeball seemed to be coming out. At this moment, even Zhao Jun couldn't see her fierce appearance, and hurriedly lowered his head. It's just that the moment he lowered his head, he glared at Feng Wan fiercely.
In a suppressed silence, the concubines couldn't stand it anymore and took a step back.
At this moment, only Feng Wan is truly at ease. She is still smiling lightly, her wide sleeves are still fluttering, her clothes are in the wind, and Chu Chu has the beauty of drifting away with the wind.
After a while, the voice of the eldest princess grinding her teeth came, and she said hatefully: "Very good, very good, Feng Shi Awan, I have written it down." ”
After that, she glanced at Zhao Jun angrily, drew her horse whip, and struck at the void in the uncontrollable low screams of the concubines, shouting, "Let's go"
She took the lead in rushing out, and in the blink of an eye, the group got into the carriage and rushed out of the gate of the Zhao Mansion.
Almost as soon as the eldest princess left the mansion, Zhao Jun shouted: "Feng Awan" He glared at her, panting and exclaiming: "You are so bold, so bold"
He strode up to Feng Wan, and said coldly with a blue face: "Dare to love you Wan Niang or a golden branch and jade leaf?" Kowtow to yourself for this kind of thing, would you rather die than obey? ”
He reached out and clasped Feng Wan's arm tightly, and was just about to drag it inside, when a rush of footsteps came.
In the blink of an eye, the footsteps rushed into the house. This is the shopkeeper of a grain shop, his round face is sweating profusely, as soon as he sees the woman, he hisses: "Oh no, no, the court said that the grain and grass ahead are tight, and our grain has to be requisitioned without a grain left to support the northern army." ”
What the?
The shopkeeper was sweating profusely, and his screams were also very loud, but whether it was the concubine or Zhao Jun, it took a breath to digest his words.
The girl was the first to react, she rushed out and screamed, "How can there be such a thing? Where did you know that? When does the levy start? Hurry up, pull all the food back and hide it"
Her screams rose higher and higher, and she spoke so quickly and so quickly that the ears of the people were ringing.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said hoarsely: "It's too late, the soldiers are standing outside the grain store, maybe they will start moving grain now." ”
Almost as soon as his voice fell, three or four shopkeepers under the concubine ran in a chaotic manner. They were sweating profusely, and their faces were full of panic. As soon as they saw the woman, several people shouted at the same time: "They have pulled grain, what should I do?" "Master, you quickly think of a way, we really can't stop them. As soon as Uncle Niu next door shouted out that he refused, a general's halberd waved, and he stabbed him through the heart. "Master, what should I do, what should I do?"
The shouts of these people came at the same time, and the noise squeezed through the entire courtyard.
Listening to this, the woman's face turned pale, she turned around and rushed to Zhao Jun, pulled his sleeve, and said anxiously: "Master, master, what can I do?" That grain is our last possession. When she said this, thinking of the bitterness of the ruling family in the past six months, she couldn't help hugging Zhao Jun's thigh and crying loudly.
Zhao Jun was reminded by the phrase 'our last possession', and he stayed in the local area with a blue face.
Unconsciously, he let go of Feng Wan's hand.
Rubbing his hands together, Zhao Jun paced a few steps, walked to a few shopkeepers, and asked carefully.
It's okay not to ask, but this question, his face is getting more and more ugly. It turned out that the soldiers had already cut off more than a dozen grain merchants' heads in a row. The court had already decreed that all grain and grass, regardless of the background of the shopkeeper, would be levied. Even the grain stores opened by the two highnesses obediently asked the court to collect the grain at this time.
Even His Royal Highness is like this, so where did he, a small official, get into the eyes of those military masters?
However, as the concubine said, those three grain shops are the last property of the Zhao Mansion, all his expenses, entertainment, and the reserve to realize his ambitions
No matter what, he can't let the court collect the grain
Thinking of the burnt forehead, Zhao Jun suddenly thought of Feng Wan. He turned sharply to look for it.
Turning his head this time, he straightened his back and walked out of the distance silently, and he was about to step into the room.
Seeing her, Zhao Jun hurriedly shouted: "Wan Niang"
He rushed behind her in a few arrows and shouted, "Wan Niang, you quickly think of a way"
Screaming, he reached for her sleeve.
He fished out an empty one.
Feng Wan, who put his hand on the handle of the door, stopped and turned his head slowly. She looked at Zhao Jun like a stranger, and at him, who was red-eyed in anxiety, her lips opened lightly, and she said elegantly and indifferently: "Master, let's leave." ”
When Zhao Jun took a step back quickly, Feng Wan raised his eyes and looked at him steadily, his expression was surprisingly cold, "I have been married for two years, and I have never been pregnant." and because of his self-respect, he violated the will of the monarch several times. Let's leave. ”
