258 Jumping into a well
Hearing his words about the aftermath, Hua Ronghua was choked, so he couldn't say anything about complaining and being ruthless.
Faced with a man you have loved and hated, and suddenly says that he is going to die, should you continue to hate him or forgive him?
After holding it for a long time, Hua Ronghua suddenly said viciously: "Who is rare about your little silver?" If you really die in battle, I'll find a father for the two children! Before the words fell, the two lines of tears couldn't help but flow down first.
Looking at her like this, Gong Xichu suddenly felt that her depressed heart was cool through a hint, if she could shed tears for herself, it would prove that she was still in love with herself, right?
"Don't worry, for your sake, I will try to survive." Gong Xichu raised his hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks, staring fixedly at the face that both worried and annoyed him.
The rough fingertips crossed her skin, bringing a shudder, Hua Ronghua tilted his head slightly, avoiding his touch, I wanted to say something rare, but I didn't want to say it when it came to my mouth, if it really caused him to lose his life because of his words, wouldn't he become a sinner? It is not easy to explain to them when a child is born in the future.
"It's getting dark, I'm going back to Bofu to see my grandmother first, I'll come back if it's too late, if it's too late, I'll leave directly." Speaking of this, Gong Xichu suddenly felt that his heart was astringent, although he usually saw that this woman always had a lot of problems like this, but this was really going to be separated, but he just thought of her!
Although he was reluctant to say some cruel words, Hua Ronghua was still full of grievances, so he said angrily: "You don't have to come back, you love to leave!" ”
Gong Xichu sighed helplessly, "Can't you say something nice?" Maybe you'll never see me again when I'm gone! ”
"I want to hear about it, go to your cousin!" Hua Ronghua said angrily.
"My cousin is just my cousin, you are my woman!" Gong Xichu raised his hand and wanted to touch the top of Hua Ronghua's head, but found that she subconsciously moved her head and tensed her body, obviously it was these two times that he made a shadow to her.
Gong Xichu's movements paused, and then his hand still covered the top of her head, his lips squirmed, and the words of apology were not spoken.
Hua Ronghua thought that he said that his cousin poked his lung tube again, and he was ready to be beaten, but he just touched his head. What's going on? Is conscience found? Or is it a sex change? Thinking of this, I smacked myself again, does it have to be normal to be beaten by myself? Is this uncomfortable if you don't get beaten?
"You're alright, I'm leaving!" Gong Xichu finally stared at the woman who was a little stunned and a little remorseful, and turned around and left without looking back.
"Hey......" Hua Ronghua wanted to say something, but he only had time to see his figure disappear behind the swaying bead curtain.
Just gone? What, just go, no sense of responsibility at all! Hua Ronghua looked down at his bulging belly, and thought hatefully, when the time comes, he will take the child to remarry together, so that he can't find himself.
Gongxi Chu walked out of the courtyard gate, looked back, and the plaque on the door was engraved with the word 'Washington'.
The old Wu Tou next to him explained: "On the day I moved over, Mrs. asked the shopkeeper of Shuyue Tea Zhai to help make it. If the general thinks it's inappropriate, I'll tell my wife ......"
"No need." Gong Xichu sighed, she had worked so hard for such a brand, how could she agree to change it? After a pause, he said, "Madame will entrust it to you, don't protect her." ”
"General rest assured, even if I exchange my life, I will definitely protect my wife and little master." Old Wu Tou looked at Gongxi Chu, and after thinking about it, he said: "General, there is a sentence that I know I shouldn't say, but I came down from the battlefield, and some words are better to say!" ”
Gong Xichu looked at Old Wu Tou, since he saved him, it was the first time he had seen him say so much, and he couldn't help but nodded, "You say." ”
Old Wu Tou was silent for a while before he said slowly: "I know that the general is young and vigorous, and he wants to make a contribution with his high skills. But, general, why do people make meritorious deeds? Glory to the ancestors? To put it irreverently, the ancestors are just decorations, if we really have any trouble with ourselves or our families, it is impossible to count on those tablets! ”
Hearing this, Gongxi Chu's silent attitude was slightly surprised, how could this old Wu Tou talk about his ancestors in broad daylight?
"When I say this, the general may say that I am not filial, but this is what I say in my heart. I have been in the army for eighteen years, and I have participated in many battles large and small, and there are no big credits, and there are a few small credits, but in the end I am just a centurion, if it is not for the general to rescue, maybe I will report to the palace of Hades! I exchanged my wounds for a pension of a few dozen taels of silver, plus all these years of military service, and went home. I thought to myself, although I was crippled, I had so much money enough to live a good life for my parents, wife and children. ”
Gongxi Chu listened quietly, when the old Wu Tou went from the barracks and returned, and the people were also white-headed overnight, although everyone guessed that something must have happened to him, but they had never heard him say it. Because he was physically disabled and could not fight, the army did not agree to continue to requisition him at that time, and he just needed a trustworthy person in the capital to watch the house, so he came to the capital.
Old Wu Tou's voice was slightly hoarse, "But when I got home, I found that my father and mother were gone, my home was gone, my son died at the age of six, my daughter-in-law ran away with someone, and the house was occupied by the clansmen. ”
"Does the general know? The person I hated the most at that time was not my daughter-in-law who ran away, but myself. Old Wu Tou wiped his eyes, and his nasal voice was a little heavy, "Why have I been gone for so many years?" Why can't I have come home sooner? General, in this life, money and fame are earned for outsiders to see, and only the daughter-in-law and son are with him for a lifetime! So, General, you must come back alive sooner! ”
Gong Xichu nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back." He didn't expect Lao Wutou to have such a bumpy experience, if it was himself, he was afraid that he would have gone crazy a long time ago. The thought of encountering the same situation as Old Wu Tou when he came back made his heart tighten.
No, no, he must come back alive! Gong Xichu secretly swore in his heart.
In the Eiwain Courtyard of the Conrough House.
The old lady watched her favorite grandson kneel on the ground and kowtow to herself, her eyes couldn't help but moisten, she pinched the handkerchief in her hand and pressed the corner of her eyes, and asked in a choked voice, "Will you leave tomorrow?" ”
"Yes." Gongxi Chu did not get up after kowtowing, but walked to the old lady on his knees, pillowed his head on her lap, and said, "Grandmother must take care of her body." ”
"Okay, okay." The old lady raised her hand to stroke her grandson's long hair, and said with a tearful smile: "Grandmother is still waiting to see her son for you!" It won't be a problem to hold on for another ten or twenty years! ”
Gongxi Chu pursed his lips, and a hint of apology flashed in his eyes, "Grandmother, child, let's let Hua take it!" ”
The old lady was obviously stunned, "What did you say?" Achu? Isn't that Fahrenheit messing with you again? ”
"It's not a fuss!" Gong Xichu lied, "It's just ......"
"Just what?" The old lady was a little annoyed, and pushed away her grandson who was lying on her lap, "Your own woman ran away and ran away, and then your son will not return home, do you know what outsiders will say about you?" Are you trying to put your cuckold on the ground? ”
Gong Xichu didn't expect the old lady's attitude to be so tough, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The old lady saw Gong Xichu's face full of embarrassment, and couldn't help asking, "You say, what's going on?" So what kind of demon is Fahrenheit doing? Could it be that she carried the crown prince to stand out for her? ”
Gong Xichu frowned, "Grandmother, the crown prince will never make such a head for her as a woman." ”
"What's going on here? Why should the heir of our Gongxi family be handed over to her as an outsider? "It's a pity that the old lady's crutches are not in her hand, or she has to make a few stumbles.
"Grandmother, she is the child's biological mother after all!" Gongxi Chu began to think about convincing people with reason.
"What about the birth mother? Where do you think she looks like a mother? Running all over the street with a big belly, and talking and laughing with so many men! Even if she doesn't feel ashamed, the child won't be able to raise her head in the future! The old lady told all her long-standing opinions about Hua Ronghua.
At the mention of these, Gong Xichu's face was also a little uncomfortable, but he still persuaded the old lady and said: "Grandmother, don't say this kind of thing in the future, Hua Shi is now in the Ministry of Officials!" ”
"Hmph, don't say that she is named in the Ministry of Officials, even if she is listed on the list of gods, she is still too famous in my place...... Well? What did you say? The old lady asked with hindsight.
Gongxi Chu smiled bitterly, repeated what Mr. Xiao said just now, and said at the end: "Grandmother, even if Hua's is not an official of the Zheng family, you should not talk about him again in the future." ”
"Yo, it's really a step for her to ascend to the sky!" The old lady snorted coldly, and she couldn't tell whether she was more envious or annoyed in her heart. "Then she is her official, isn't it just right for the child to be handed over to me?"
"Grandmother, Fahrenheit said that if someone wants to snatch the child, she will jump into the well with the child!" Helpless, Gongxi Chu could only say Hua Ronghua's original words.
Who knows, as soon as the old lady heard this, she immediately exploded, "What? She said that she wanted to seek death, and you thought about her, so what if I said that I wanted to seek death? I'm not going to tell you, if you don't bring me the baby, I'll hang you! ”
Gongxi Chu called out loudly, "Grandmother! ”
"What? You don't believe it, do you? Okay, I'll hang it for you now! So saying, the old lady got up and went to find the rope and stool for hanging.
"Grandmother!" Gong Xichu hugged the old lady tightly, buried his face in her arms and said in a muffled voice: "If I really can't come back, do you plan to leave me alone below?" Let me have a companion! ”
"You, you bastard, just came to prick my heart!" The old lady's tears fell, she raised her head and slapped Gong Xichu's shoulder and back hard, and scolded in her mouth, "You scare me with death!" I'll let you scare me with your death! Look at me, an old lady is easy to bully, right? ”
