Chapter 72: Hope and Disappointment
Gentlemanly and romantic
Make up what you owe yesterday, hehe, continue to ask for pink tickets and subscriptions.
Accompany him and go with him?
Feng Wan was stunned.
She turned her head sideways, stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, and wondered: Will you go with him?
Seeing Feng Wan's hesitation, Wei Ziyang frowned, he stared at her tightly, and said, "You don't want to?" ”
Feng Wan shook his head.
It's not about willing or unwilling. She just, can't do it.
Since his rebirth, Feng Wan's biggest reliance is the young man in front of him. She was waiting for him to grow up, waiting for him to be strong enough to shelter her a little. It doesn't ask for much, as long as she is safe, no one dares to offend.
The young man in front of him now values her and wants her to accompany her, which she knows. But she couldn't, at least, not yet.
…… Since ancient times, why do people in the world say that if you hire a wife, you will run for a concubine? Why did Zhuge Liang ask Liu Bei to go out of the mountain only after looking at the thatched house? That's because they all know that the world never cherishes people and things that are easy to get.
What's more, the world doesn't know the changes in this world, but she does. Because of this knowledge, she is at ease. If she recklessly followed Wei Ziyang, who was not strong enough, to a strange place, she would be at a loss.
…… After betrayal and complete injury, she no longer has the courage to gamble her future and her life completely. At least, before she has a sufficient understanding of Wei Ziyang's human nature, she can't gamble on herself and the future in a desperate gamble.
…… The so-called understanding from previous lives, after all, is superficial and superficial.
Wei Ziyang stared at her and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Feng Wan looked up.
She looked at him with clear eyes, and said in a low voice: "The concubine can't ......" At this point, Wei Ziyang had already interrupted her words with a wave of his right hand, and shouted: "No need to say it"
He turned around, stared out motionlessly, and said angrily, "Don't want your husband?" ”
There was a deep sense of dissatisfaction and annoyance in his voice.
Feng Wan said: "No. Her voice was soft and gentle, "Concubine, don't dare to ......" She lowered her eyes and murmured: "Concubine is a weak female stream, if you follow Lang Jun like this, how will you face the princesses?" ”
Her words are not serious, but Wei Ziyang is a smart person. He knew that Feng Wan was referring to the Fourth Princess, the Fifth Highness, and those powerful people who had thoughts about him.
Almost suddenly, it occurred to him that with the power of those people, he could not even take the woman in front of him to death without even needing a reason, at least not yet
His beautiful face turned blue in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, he waved his hand and said sullenly, "Go out." ”
"Yes."
Feng Wan was blessed and slowly retreated.
When she retreated to the threshold, Wei Ziyang's deep voice came, "There will be a day when these people are not afraid"
Feng Wan bowed and responded, "Yes." She smiled and said, "It's just some clay figurines." ”
Hearing her evaluation, Wei Ziyang laughed, he raised his eyebrows, and watched Feng Wan leave slowly with blood-colored eyes. Looking at the graceful back, unconsciously, Wei Ziyang's eyes were full of smiles.
When she got into the carriage, Feng Wan took out her handkerchief and gently pressed it on her forehead: because the impression of her previous life was too deep, subconsciously, she was not willing to let Wei Ziyang be dissatisfied with her no matter what. He was already annoyed when he refused just now, but now he is no longer angry, this is really a happy and relaxing thing for Feng Wan.
Ling Yufu rushed to the Zhou Mansion in the western suburbs, Uncle Zeng happened to be there, and asked slightly, knowing that the grain and grass carriage had been purchased, Feng Wan was relieved.
The carriage drove back to Zhao's mansion.
Coming to the outside of the Zhao Mansion, Feng Wan lifted the curtain and looked at the gate of the Zhao Mansion in a daze.
She had lived in this place for too long, for so long that she had become accustomed to it, and for a long time it reminded her of a sentence, "Being in the abalone world, smelling it for a long time but not knowing its smell." ”
Thinking of this, Feng Wan sighed secretly.
The carriage drove into the Zhao Mansion.
Feng Wan, who slowly stepped out of the carriage, looked at the concubines curiously at a glance: At this juncture, Feng Wan actually went to the Wei Mansion against the wind.
Glancing at them, Feng Wan slowly approached.
Maybe her demeanor was too graceful, her expression was too comfortable, and when she passed by the woman, she heard a low, shrill voice, "Doing that behind her husband's back, and still being idle like this......"
If there is no sound, it will not be heard unless you listen carefully.
Feng Wan didn't want to argue with her about this matter, after all, as long as she spoke, no matter what she said, it would be an ugly thing, so she went back to her room without hesitation.
Feng Wan stepped into her room, and as soon as the door closed, she sneered: Yes, I am just calm, not to mention that I have nothing with Wei Ziyang now, even if I really have something with him, I will be so calm
…… In her previous life, she had demanded the highest standards of a good wife, but what did she get? In this life, she can't let go of being detained by her nature, but if something really happens, she will never blame Zhao Jun, he is not worthy of her blame
Feng Wan returned to the room, still practicing calligraphy for a while and reading for a while.
In this era, books are so precious and precious, even if Feng Wan chews every word in every book he can see, and reads it badly, he always feels that it is not enough, far from enough.
Just when Feng Wan's soft and gentle reading voice sounded quietly, a sound of footsteps came, and Fu'er called, "Madam? ”
Feng Wanen sighed.
Outside, there was silence.
After a while, Fuer walked slowly with her head down, and walked in front of her, Fuer kowtowed heavily to her, and said silently: "Madame, my mother, she, has passed away. ”
Compared with Fu'er's sadness, Feng Wan's voice was sympathetic and compassionate, with indifference, she sighed and said, "Poor Fu'er, the deceased has passed away, and you should mourn." ”
It's okay that she didn't open her mouth, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Fu'er burst into tears.
She knelt down in front of Feng Wan, crying loudly like this, as if she was aroused by Feng Wan's words, all the sadness and sorrow were aroused.
She cried so loudly, so hoarsely, this is a kind of real sadness that regards Feng Wan as the nearest person, the kind of defenseless and undisguised real sadness.
Listening to Fu'er's cry, Feng Wan blinked, a little stunned.
Seriously, she really doesn't understand, what makes Fuer so serious and so presumptuous to believe it?
After thinking for a while, Feng Wan's eyes suddenly appeared in front of her mother, who had passed away for many years, and her mother was seriously ill at that time, she held her hand and said uneasily: "Wan'er, although you look smart, your heart is too kind. A gentleman can deceive him, and Wan'er, you are the same......"
After a long time, until he heard Fu'er's choking sound gradually stop, Feng Wan opened his mouth gently, "Fu'er, do you want to go home?" ”
Fuer's choking stopped.
She hurriedly shook her head and said hoarsely, "Madam, no. ”
Speaking of this, she was worried that Madame would blame her for being unkind, so she hurriedly said, "Fu'er is going back, and she can't help...... Mrs. Fortunately, Mrs. Luck dared to cry like this. ”
She wiped her tears, and when she heard the inquiries of the concubines outside, she said, "Madam, Fu'er was presumptuous just now. ”
You are presumptuous.
Feng Wan didn't want to comfort her, she picked up the syrup, took a sip slowly, and lowered her eyes and thought: Next, your father will be in prison, and your two adult brothers will also need money everywhere. Fuer, the sorrows of this world are endless. Do you think you deserve my help? But in this world, no one to help is the normal state of life, and I will be here, watching you live in disgrace
Feng Wan was silent for a while, then put the cup down lightly and said lightly, "Go out." ”
......" Yes. ”
Fu'er didn't retreat until she retreated, and her eyes were swollen with tears, looking at Feng Wan. In her eyes, there was a hope that she had never given up, perhaps, she was still waiting for Feng Wan's unbearable.
This night, Zhao Jun did not return home.
The next day, Feng Wan was still in the mansion, and he felt the difference in the atmosphere. She hurriedly got into the carriage and left the house.
As soon as I arrived on the streets, an atmosphere of tension and slaughter enveloped me. From time to time, you can see hurried soldiers and heavily armed soldiers on the streets.
Feng Wan looked at it for a while and said, "Go to West Street." ”
"Yes."
On the west street, there are three grain stores opened by the woman. At this moment, the door of the grain shop was wide open, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er were leisurely guarding the counter, chatting for a while.
It's not just them, it's the same with other stores.
After all, the capital has been peaceful for many years, after all, in this kind of era, wars occur from time to time, which is a very normal thing, and no one will make a fuss.
Feng Wan swam around in the carriage, and the driver drove the car back to Zhao's mansion.
As soon as she entered the house, she hadn't gotten out of the car, and Fu'er shouted: "Lord Lang, Madame is back, Madame is back."
Zhao Jun is back?
Feng Wan lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. As soon as she took two steps, Zhao Jun had already rushed out of the study, he rushed to Feng Wan, stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, and complained while dragging towards the study: "Why did you come back?" Where did you run again? ”
Feng Wan knew that he was just asking, but did not answer.
Zhao Jun dragged Feng Wan into the study, then waved back the concubines who came over to see the excitement, closed the door, and strode in front of Feng Wan, he leaned forward, supported her shoulders, stared at her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "There is a war report in Northern Xinjiang, everything is as I expected, Your Majesty personally ordered Wei Ziyang and the other two generals to go on the expedition, and also asked me." ”
At this point, it was 'everything was as he expected.'"
Staring at Feng Wan anxiously, Zhao Jun gritted his teeth and said, "I made an excuse, and His Majesty will ask for my reply in two days...... Wan Niang, what do you say I should do? ”
He paced a step, rubbed his hands together and said, "I have proved my military talent to Your Majesty and the Fifth Highness. Now they want me to go to the battlefield and see me in action. ”
He shuddered fiercely, and said with a pale face: "Wan Niang, what do you say I should do?" ”
What to do? Don't you just want to get credit and appreciation without taking any risks?
Seeing Feng Wan pondering, Zhao Jun flattened his mouth, and couldn't help but complain and said, "Wan Niang, you should persuade me to wait." If I make a statement after Wei Ziyang's speech, I will report it again in a few days. Not only can it be appreciated by His Majesty, but it will not make His Majesty and His Highness expect too much, let alone let those colleagues stare at it again. "The last time he was jealous, he suffered from rumors. Now he was a little scared.
What's more, the military part is too strange and unfamiliar to Zhao Jun, and he has no bottom in his heart.
Feng Wan heard his complaint, and the corners of his mouth swept lightly: Yes, I can do that, but I don't want to. Since you want to come out, you should bear the risk of this wind
Zhao Jun paced a few steps, walked in front of Feng Wan, looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Wan Niang, you are not there, you don't know, when I opened my mouth to push and drag, Your Majesty and the Fifth Highness were so disappointed." Wan Niang, I'm really worried, if I decide not to go, will they ......?"
Will it be anything, but he can't say.
Gritting his teeth, his cheeks jumped a few times, and Zhao Jun paced again.
This time, he had been pondering for a long time, he turned to Feng Wan, and said with a blank eye: "Wan Niang, you said that if I go to the battlefield, I will stay in Wei Ziyang's army, will he help me?" Speaking of this, he stepped forward and shook Feng Wan's hand, and said repeatedly: "Simply, Wan Niang, you go with me." ”
Let's go, when you are the bridge between you and Wei Ziyang? Let him look at my face and help you?
In Zhao Jun's expectant gaze, Feng Wan slowly shook his head.
As soon as she shook her head, Zhao Jun's face turned cold, and he hurriedly said, "Why not?" ”
Feng Wan said softly, "Master, you have forgotten Wei Ziyang's character. She reminded him, "He is the one who even His Majesty dares to refute, and the eldest princess dares to slap him." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jun seemed to have fallen into cold water, he took a step back, and said angrily with a blue face: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do?" ”
Glaring at Feng Wan angrily, he roared in a low voice, "You give me a charter to see"
Feng Wan knew that his anger was only because of his weak heart, and he was just venting it.
Lowering his eyebrows, Feng Wan pondered.
As soon as she pondered, Zhao Jun was full of hope.
In his eyes, Feng Wan shook his head and said with difficulty: "Concubine, concubine doesn't know what to do." ”
As soon as she said this, Zhao Jun's face turned completely white. He took a step back, and suddenly took three steps, his hands on the table, standing motionless.
After a while, his low voice came, "Think about it, think about it, think about it." Do you know? Your Majesty has promised me, if I have a meritorious service in this battle, I will be awarded a fourth-grade official title, I will be a fourth-grade official, Wanniang, you can also straighten your back, even if you are against the fourth sister-in-law, you don't have to whisper. By the way, not only is it promoted, His Royal Highness said that when the time comes, he will reward me with a mansion and a cart of gold, and even a beauty will be rewarded a few more ......"
When he said this, he suddenly remembered that Feng Wan might not be interested in beauties, so he hurriedly stopped his mouth.
There are a lot of things, it seems that His Majesty and His Royal Highness really have high expectations for him.
Feng Wan smiled coldly and said: It's a pity, the result of me helping you get promoted and make a fortune is just that you live in a high-rise building and have beauties, but I have nothing.
Zhao Jun said this sincerely, thinking that what he said was attractive enough, so he turned his head to look at Feng Wan.
Turning his head, he turned his head towards Feng Wan, who was twisting the corners of his clothes with his hands up, looking at a loss.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Jun was angry, anxious, and annoyed, he glared at her, and was about to scold when Feng Wan's low, slightly trembling voice came, "But, master, the concubine only got this news from Wei Ziyang." A concubine and a woman, how can she understand these things about the court and the affairs of the soldiers? ”
She seemed to be in a hurry, her face was white, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she looked at Zhao Jun with a look of anxiety and self-blame.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Jun was stunned, and immediately thought: She remembered to pass on such a major news to me, and she should be sure. You can't push her, if she is afraid and doesn't tell me if she has something to say, it will be very bad.
Thinking of this, he put away his anxious heart, sighed, and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I know that asking you is also in vain." Glancing at Feng Wan's teary eyes, he held back his anger and comforted: "Don't take it to heart, I'll think about it again, think about it again." ”
Feng Wan lowered his head and responded, "Yes." ”
"Still not going out yet?"
"Yes."
When Feng Wan came out, the concubines were all outside. Seeing her descend the steps, they gathered around one by one.
Mei Niang walked in front, she glanced inside worriedly, and asked in a low voice, "Madam, is something wrong with the master?" ”
Feng Wan looked up.
Facing the uneasy faces of the concubines, Feng Wan shook his head and said lightly: "It's okay, the husband is fine." ”
"What about him?"
Mei Niang asked anxiously again.
But this time, Feng Wan obviously didn't want to answer, she pushed away the women and walked towards her room.
This night, Zhao Jun has been pacing around in the study, reciting words. Mei Niang and the three daughters of Mei Niang and Juan'er gave snacks three times, and the scolding sounded three times.
Sitting in his room, looking at the lights in Zhao Jun's room, Feng Wan leaned on the collapse slowly and methodically, and poured himself a glass of wine.
As I tasted slowly, I turned my head sideways and admired the lights in the study, and the sound of thrashing and cursing from time to time.
Time passed quietly, and like the anxious person in the study, Feng Wan was not tired at all. She was at ease admiring.
Zhao Jun just wants to ascend to the sky in one step, he doesn't want to give up the fourth-grade official position, and those golden beauties, but he doesn't have the ability to really go to the battlefield, he doesn't have the ability, and he doesn't have the guts. Refuse, and really reluctant, that's why there is a current dilemma.
That's it, man. I can't get it at all, I can still extinguish that thought, and I can have a moment of peace. But this gave him hope, and let him go, and the unbearable suffering was enough to make him suffer.
That's good, that's what she wants. If she hadn't expected this, how could she have given him such important news?
Zhao Jun stayed awake all night, and at night, he could still hear his cursing.
The next day, Zhao Jun excused himself from illness and did not go to the court. He didn't sleep all night, his eyes were full of bloodshots, his lips were chapped, and his temperament was even more dry.
By noon, he was even more anxious. After thinking about it and thinking about it, Zhao Jun always felt that compared to his own, Wan Niang might have a better way, so he called her to the study.
He didn't force her anymore, but after begging her to think about it, he paced in annoyance, frequently glancing at Feng Wan, only begging her to suddenly give her an idea.
