261 One wrong step and one wrong step (and updates.)
"Sick?" Rong Ruo was very puzzled, while getting into the carriage, he thought that he had gone to see Shen Wan after returning to Beijing, and he was so dignified at that time, it had only been ten days of work, why did he get sick. And why did the wife go to the door to see each other, they have never been alone, what are they going to say when they meet today?
Full of doubts, he hurried to the private house, and the servants in the door hurriedly said, "Uncle, the young grandmother in the house has been here, do you know?" ”
Rong Ruo immediately asked them, "What is the matter with them?" ”
Several old girls shook their heads and said they didn't know, but when they saw the young grandmother leaving and hummed, Rong Ruo couldn't help frowning, and asked them why Miss Shen was sick, and a girl said: "In the past few days, I have been writing under the lamp at night, and when it is warm and cold, I don't wear a piece of clothing and we are not allowed to disturb, I am afraid that I will catch a cold." ”
"You should have sent someone to tell me." Rong Ruo sighed and walked quickly to the house, Shen was like a woman in postpartum confinement, with a headscarf tied on her head to prevent the wind, her face was as haggard as paper, and she looked like a different person in ten days.
"Why didn't you send someone to tell me when you were sick?" Rong Ruo has no head and no brain, but when he thinks about it, he feels that it is inappropriate, and sure enough, he saw Shen Wan smiling coldly, isn't it, he should have come to see her more as a man, and when he came back from Heilongjiang, the days when he came to the private house could be counted with one hand, but Shen Wan had been silently bearing it, and there was no complaint.
"If you don't go back to Beijing halfway, where should you go now?" Shen Wan asked weakly, coughing at the slightest word, but he didn't seem to be in a bad mood, and muttered, "You said that the emperor is going south to pay tribute to the filial piety tomb, then it is very close to my home." ”
"I'm sorry, the emperor won't let me take you back." Rong Ruo felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Shen Wan's eyes, only to hear Shen Wan say slowly, "Home? I just said casually, where did I come from, I grew up in the Qinglou, my father and mother don't know who they are, I am homeless. ”
Rong Ruo felt sorry for her, and hurriedly said, "Wan'er, this is your home." ”
Shen Wan smiled bitterly, but nodded, "Yes, speaking of which, this is still a place for me to settle down." But Rong Ruo, I always feel that the capital can't accommodate me, and I always feel that I will not live here for a long time, and I will probably have to leave sooner or later. ”
Rong Ruo felt that the person in front of him was full of sorrow, and couldn't help asking: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you today?" Did she come and say something to you? ”
"The young grandmother is a good person, she told me that if I am willing to live in the house, she can think of raising the flag for me, so that you can give me a name, and you don't have to run so hard." Shen Wan's smile was so arrogant, his eyes seemed to be full of disdain for what the other party had just said, he glanced out the window lightly, and said coldly, "But if you don't blame me for being too straight, I am Han after all, even if I am a woman, I don't want to give in to the Qing court, I don't care what the flag is raised, thank you for your young grandmother's kindness." ”
"Wan'er, she has no ill intentions." Rong Ruoshang calmed down and comforted her, "I understand your intentions even more, otherwise why do you have to wait for her to tell you what the flag is about?" ”
Shen Wan was relieved at this time, showed a somewhat relieved smile, and said lightly: "I believe in you, but I also have a word I want to tell you." Rong Ruo, if I am blessed to walk in front of you, can you work hard and send me back to my hometown? Even if I don't have a home, I want to blend in with the soil of my hometown and don't want to wander here. If I am not blessed to let you go ahead, I will go back by myself, and you don't have to worry about what will happen to me, I will spend the rest of my life well, and I will meet you again in the earth. ”
Rong Ruo's heart was sour, and he smiled bitterly: "Young man, what do you want to do with this?" The girls said that you are just cold, where is it so serious that you will die of life and death, don't mention it again. And he said, "Do you miss your children?" My E-Niang has been in a much better mood recently, although I have wronged you for not coming to take care of you often, but my E-Niang is very satisfied, I wonder if she can see me well, and can loosen up and bring Fusen to you to see. The son is very good and sturdy, you can rest assured. ”
Shen Wan shook her head: "It's rare to be peaceful now, don't make any more trouble, today the young grandmother also said a lot to me, everyone looks at some problems calmly, she is very good, but I insist on not wanting to enter the house to make her angry, you go back and coax her." ”
"She asked me to come and see you, saying you were sick." Rong Ruo responded naturally.
But this sentence hit the wound in Shen Wan's heart.
She won't tell Rong Ruo what the young lady said to her, saying that she delayed Rong Ruo's future, that she hurt Rong Ruo to be laughed at by her colleagues in the court, that she caused the family to be restless and the father and son turned against each other, that she only followed the man who was in Jiangnan and chanted poems against her, not the Nalan family in the capital, who was burdened with the glory of the family, and said that she didn't know how Rong Ruo should live at all, and the young lady even said that she acquiesced to the existence of this private house for Rong Ruo, otherwise she wouldn't want to stay in the capital for a while.
Isn't it? At this time, people came to visit him, also because his wife allowed it, no wonder after returning from Heilongjiang, he almost did not settle in the private house, and she was left here like an abandoned woman. In this unaccompanied world, whenever she walks out of the door of the private house, she will starve to death anytime and anywhere, she followed Rong Ruo here without hesitation, but ended up with such a result.
"Let's go." Shen Wan suddenly pushed Rong Ruo away, and tears rained down, "In your heart, there will always be only that cousin, right?" I know, I know ......"
Rong Ruo was stunned, Shen Wan was still crying sadly, just like the hysterical wives of the day, why did they become so thorough when they were in a hurry, why couldn't any of them understand themselves?
"Wan'er." Rong Ruo hugged Shen Wan suddenly, trembled with her thin body, and said with pain from the bottom of her heart, "It's my fault, I took a wrong step, Wan'er, I just want to bring my son back to you, I want my mother to be soft-hearted, Wan'er, you wait for me." ”
The woman's cry came out of the window, and she couldn't hear it if she walked a little farther, no matter how big and deep the pain was, it was a personal matter after all, even if you looked at the world with a pessimistic eye, everything around you would not really change for you.
When Wen Guifei in the palace comprehended this truth, Xianfu Palace has almost become the location of the cold palace, she often stands alone in front of the palace gate to watch the excitement of the adjacent Chuxiu Palace Tong Concubine, the emperor likes Tong Concubine recently, and comes to Chuxiu Palace from time to time to rest, Tong Concubine obviously has nothing to win, but the emperor is good to her, Wen Guifei obviously has no place to lose, but the emperor just doesn't like her.
She tried all the tricks and failed to get the emperor's real attention, that day the emperor turned the green head card in front of her, and a moment ago was still asking her about the palace concubine's punishment and kneeling and Yinyou's beating, she thought that the original local clear, the emperor was not angry that even if it passed, who knew that someone turned his head and showed a green card, at that moment looking at the emperor with a smile on his face, she even hoped that the emperor might as well slap her twice.
The days flowed like water, Concubine Wen Guifei didn't change anything after exhausting her hard work, even Brother Ten didn't know how to cry and pretend to be pitiful, and she didn't have the strength to torture her own son to make him cry day and night, but even if she cried in front of the child, the child would not be able to cry happily, even her own flesh and blood, she didn't pity her.
At present, as soon as the matter of the southern tour is delayed, the women who are full of interest suddenly disperse half of their enthusiasm, and the list of the followers has never been accurate, and now they have not even counted the days of the southern tour, and it is not as good as the competition in the first month to get the only few positions, in the spring, the Forbidden City finally stopped for a while.
The southern tour was put on hold, and the things that were originally scheduled to follow quickly followed, and it was about to enter summer in a blink of an eye, and the emperor would definitely not go out with great fanfare in the hot weather, calculating the days, only waiting for the autumn to leave, but the emperor was busy, and he didn't mention anything about the southern tour, and the women in the harem even felt that they couldn't go this year.
Xuan Ye will tell Lan Qi some movements in private, when the two are skin-to-skin, Xuan Ye always avoids taboos, Lan Qi laughs at him that he is not as comfortable as when he is pregnant, but Xuan Ye said: "It's so easy to go on a long trip, let's live together for the rest of our lives, reluctant to spend a few months?" ”
She knew that the southern tour would not be impossible, and the emperor was now just concentrating on the matter in front of his eyes, and when the time was right, this important matter would be put back on the agenda.
The weather is getting hotter, and the fourth elder brother has been in the study for a few days, Yinzuo has always pestered Eniang to find the fourth brother from the beginning, and now he understands what the fourth brother is doing in the study, and only occasionally asks Lan Qi to take him to the only way for his brother to return to Chengqian Palace, etc., even if he just walks behind his brother for a while, he is also very happy.
Yinzhen didn't bother his younger brother, and when he saw him, he always said why didn't you come to the study before you grew up, and then told him a book decently, and Yinzuo frowned tightly, and his brother would pat his head and say: "When you come to the study, my brother will teach you again, but you have to study hard, otherwise Huang Ama will beat your palm." ”
Yinzuo will nervously stick to his brother and say, "I learn from the fourth brother, and I listen to the fourth brother." ”
Lan Qi always followed quietly behind, from time to time the youngest son would run back and pounce on his knees to make a coquettish, Yin Zhen stood there and counted the younger brother who was not big, but soon he would be amused by his younger brother, the little brother jumped up and down all the way back hand in hand, it was the happiest thing for Lan Qi in that period of time, occasionally in front of the queen mother, his eyes sparkled when he spoke.
On this day, Lan Qi led Yinzuo out of Cining Palace, and was about to wait for the fourth elder brother to return to Chengqian Palace after school, the mother and son came all the way, the son jumped in front of him, and disappeared when he turned a corner, but he heard a sound, and then there was a faint cry of a child, Lan Qi Huanchun hurried over, but saw Juechan and a few palace maids around the corner, she was squatting to pat the dust on the body of the sixth elder brother, and smiled gently: "Sixth elder brother walk slowly, you have to watch the road." ”
Yinzuo turned around to see his mother, so he ran up to be coquettish, Jue Chan politely followed to salute, Lan Qi coaxed his son, looked up at Jue Chan, and felt that her eyes lit up, her beauty needless to say, but this calm and calm spirit, but never seen in the past Jue Chan nobles.
