"Jinjie!" The first time I woke up, I heard this soft call.

It wasn't loud, it was always roaring in his ears, but he could hear it clearly.

Where the eyes looked, there was still a blurred vision, but the person's face and expression, the man's concerned eyes, seemed to be clear and distinct.

Feng Jinjie smiled slightly, the first time in the long pain that he smiled so easily and so casually. In the dim light and shadow room, it was clear that there was some brilliant brilliance on his face and eyes.

However, after he smiled, he just closed his eyes peacefully. Really, really, so tired, he really, really needed a good night's sleep.

In that long, long, as if a hundred years of restful sleep, he had been, had never dreamed. Forever silent in a dark and quiet world, no more pain, no more anxiety, no more waiting, no more worry. His heart was so quiet that he didn't have a wave, until after an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes again without warning.

How long has it been since this sleep, there is silence in the heavens and the earth, and there is no longer a trace of the noise caused by the attack and defense of the city. The room was so peaceful that even the soldiers and doctors who were guarding him could not see it, only the candlelight in front of the desk. Under the lamp, beside the bed, there was a figure, I don't know how many hours I had been waiting beside him, but after all, I was very tired, leaning on the bedpost, and fell into a deep sleep.

Feng Jinjie only looked at him quietly, his clothes were still stained with blood, and his right arm was wrapped in white cloth several times. There was also a slight abrasion on the forehead. However, it seems that the injuries are not very serious, and there should be no major problems.

He came to his side after the war had calmed down, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting, but he certainly never left, never rested. So much so that he hasn't even changed his clothes.

Feng Jinjie didn't know how long time had passed, and he didn't know how long Lu Dongli had been waiting for him here, but his heart was peaceful.

Such a quiet night, such a soft candle shadow, he only quietly looked at the person with deep exhaustion and worry between his eyebrows, that is, he did not move. Nor did they try to call him.

How long has he not slept before he falls asleep, how long has he not rested, before he leans on the pillar and sleeps, maybe in the next moment, he will be like himself, because of the concern in his heart and wake up suddenly, but at this moment, let him sleep a little longer, it will be a while.

A quiet night after this great war. Under that faint candle flame, the tired and anxious Lu Dongli has been guarding the wind festival that is sleeping because of his serious injuries. And the wind festival that can wake up is quietly waiting for Lu Dongxuan's very short nap.

The war is finally over temporarily. Lu Dongli's first battle. I guess it's better to finish it in a more perfect way. In the silence, Feng Jinjie thought lazily. It turns out that there is no need for Feng Jinjie to protect him, Lu Dongli can always stand at the forefront of the battlefield, it turns out that he doesn't need Feng Jinjie to plan from the side, Lu Dongli can also deal with a sudden war independently. Originally......

It turns out that in Lu Dongli's life and career, he doesn't have to ask for the help of Feng Jinjie......

This realization made Feng Jinjie frown in frustration. This, ahhhhh I taught my apprentice that there is no master, and I have already taught him all about the war, why do I still have a dizzy brain, and I actually gave up such a good opportunity to get out of the sea of suffering and be born forever.

Dingyuan Pass on the border of Zhao State has just experienced a baptism of blood and fire, and in the killing and hustle and bustle of the past, it has sunk into silence and tranquility, while in the capital outside the Wanli Pass Mountain, in an ordinary house, Su Wanzhen's life is calm and unwavering.

Since she married Lu Dongli, she has been with him, no matter how Lu Dongli was promoted or promoted, she has always followed her side, and then because Lu Dongli was transferred to the imperial court as an official, she entered Beijing with him. In the past, he was a local official and had a yamen to live in, but now he is a petty official in the capital, but he has to solve his own residence. The price of land in Beijing is already extremely expensive, so I bought a small house and used up the couple's savings over the years.

Later, Lu Dongli served as the commander of Dingyuanguan again, and he was not allowed to bring his family in the army, so Su Wanzhen naturally couldn't go with him, so he had to stay in the capital and wait.

Fortunately, all the expenses in the army are counted in the military expenses, and there is no need to spend additional expenses, Lu Dongli's official salary, every month, Su Wanzhen sends people directly to the relevant yamen to receive it. Although the price of goods in the capital is quite expensive, she is frugal and spends money, but it is enough. Because she wanted to save money, she only hired an old man who supported the door and went out, and a rough girl who helped to do some rough things, and other small things were always done by herself. On weekdays, she doesn't go out most of the time, and she doesn't know how prosperous the capital is. Do some needles every day to get by, or make clothes for the delicate children in the womb, that is, to sew clothes for the husband who is thousands of miles away, always thinking about the bitter cold place of the border, and the husband is not good at taking care of his own temperament. Because the body is getting heavier, people are gradually tired and unfocused, and from time to time they will miss and hurt themselves.

Yahuan looked at it, and always persuaded her that pregnant people should rest more, how could they withstand such hard work, that is, they were worried about the cold and warmth of the master, how many shops outside here, what good clothes could not be bought.

Su Wanzhen only smiled faintly, and then lowered her head and led the needle. She is his wife, her size and shape, she knows best, and her preferences and habits, she knows best. It's that there is a brocade robe for sale outside. But she must sew it out by herself to be considered dedicated and rest assured.

Usually, every other day, I will also write that the trustee will send it to Dingyuanguan. The letter on the lonely years in Beijing, the poor time, do not talk about anything, their occasional discomfort, loneliness and sadness, not to mention the involvement, just idle to say a few strokes of the Beijing years of peace and peace, accompanied by a good maid, do not worry about loneliness, leisure time to enjoy the capital, laugh at the prosperity, more lively, plus the neighbors, quite a few friends in the boudoir, often walk around on weekdays, can help each other, the days are more comfortable.

Most of the texts are just asking about the years in the border city, whether they are still safe, and whether they care about the cold, warmth, hunger and cold, thousands, thousands, thousands, all of which are admonishments and worries.

Thousands of miles away from the mountains, letters to and fro, lasted a long time, and extremely inconvenient, so far I only hope to reply to two letters, but also to say that some border cities are not cold, the soldiers are extremely united, everyone lives quite stable, everything does not need to worry. And then, yes

Worried that she was alone in Beijing, with many inconveniences and loneliness, the letter was nothing more than telling her to take more care of herself.

She carefully accepted the letter, and in the dead of night, when she took it out and looked at it carefully, her heart was often sweet and desolate.

How many nights, a person spent alone, thinking back to the old days, always guarding the husband who read official documents all night, or making needles and fingers, or the whole pen and ink, even if they didn't say a word to each other all night, but just look up, look at his figure under the candlelight, and his heart is also gentle and full.

But now, the long night is lonely, the difficulty is clear, the body is becoming more and more inconvenient, always dizzy and vomiting all day long, but there is no husband by his side to protect him.

She was a woman who had never given birth, and when she saw that the date of childbirth was approaching, there was no one around her to consult with her, so she became more and more flustered.

is so desolate and helpless, he categorically refuses to reveal a word on the letter paper, and only thinks bitterly and frowns.

Speaking of which, the two Lusu families still have many clan relatives, if they are in their hometown, they are not by their husbands' side, the people they take care of, and the relatives who often move around are indispensable.

But now he is alone in Beijing, helpless. If she wants to return to her hometown, her heavy body is even more inconvenient. I also wanted to ask my mother's relatives for help, first, I was afraid that this cold house, the cold scene, hurt her husband's face, made her family look down on her husband, and had resentment, second, she is also a very self-respecting and self-vigilant person, and she is not willing to suffer hundreds of miles of travel because of her own affairs. Under these hesitations. I always can't put pen to paper. I had to do this day after day, and I became more and more uneasy.

Such panic, loneliness and loneliness, in the early morning, was broken up by the noise and enthusiasm of a stranger who suddenly came from afar.

"Wanzhen, you are all about to give birth, how can you still do everything yourself, this is worth it. I'll bring two mothers-in-law and two girls, if you have anything, just tell me whatever you want, don't see me outside. ”

"I said Wanzhen, you're all about to become a mother. But you have to take care of your body. I just asked you about that girl, how to eat those things every day, adults don't eat, children also have to make up for it, from now on, one chicken in two days, big things, don't change. ”

"Wanzhen, look at your stubbornness, you don't tell your family what hardships you endure. It's a shame that your brother can't rest assured that you are alone in the capital waiting to have a child, and five or six letters in January urged me to come and take care of me. Otherwise, there will be a good one, so that how can we be at ease. ”

The costume was gorgeous. Although she is middle-aged, there is still a young woman with a bright demeanor between her eyebrows and eyes, turning around the hall, pointing fingers and feet, saying this and that, her tone is full of complaints and dissatisfaction, but her eyes are clearly full of enthusiasm and concern.

Su Wanzhen only smiled and accompanied her. She has always been a light and desireless person, but at this time. But it was up to her sister-in-law to tell her that everything was distributed to the east and west, and she only listened peacefully. Although he didn't talk much, the feeling of being cared for by his relatives in his heart overflowed his chest like spring water.

When she was most lonely and helpless, the relatives who appeared in front of her made her almost burst into tears.

Mrs. Su turned four or five times, inside and out, and gave instructions, and then sat down with peace of mind and said with a smile: "Look at you, you have been married for so many years, why do you still not take care of yourself." ”

Su Wanzhen said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, you have traveled hundreds of miles to run such a trip for me......"

"What a fool. We are a family, what do you say about hard work......" Mrs. Su interrupted her words and said with a smile, "Su Ling is your own brother, he is an elder brother, can he ignore you, a sister-in-law?" Now that he has served as the governor of Zhenjiang Mansion, he can't come to Beijing at will, and I, as a sister-in-law, of course have to do my best for him. ”

After saying a word, looking at the tears in Su Wanzhen's eyes, she smiled with satisfaction: "By the way, my brother-in-law is a generalissimo outside, does he write from time to time, but he still thinks about you?" ”

"He was at the border, thousands of miles away, and only got two letters, in which he was concerned about me."

"He can't see you across the mountains and rivers, of course he is worried, you should also write more letters to talk about the current situation, so that he can be relieved."

"It's nature." Su Wanzhen smiled and responded, "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother has been doing well recently, and everything is going well in office." ”

Mrs. Su suddenly frowned: "He, other things, it's not bad, the new official takes office, everything goes well, the boss and subordinates, it's not bad, and he has to go to Dingyuan to escort the military from time to time, and he often sees his brother-in-law, but it's not a big deal, but his brother-in-law is stubborn, and he has some collisions with his top boss, which makes it difficult for him to be a man on both sides, but it's nothing, the most hateful one is called Feng Jinjie, arrogant and vicious, jealous of your eldest brother and Dongli too close, and deliberately trying to harm your eldest brother, Your eldest brother once went to Dingyuan Guan on a business trip, and he took advantage of his brother-in-law's absence to beat your eldest brother with dozens of military sticks. ”

Su Wanzhen exclaimed in a low voice, the original smile on her face was gone, she stood up, and said in a lost voice: "Big brother was beaten? ”

"Yes......" As soon as Mrs. Su talked about her husband being beaten, tears immediately rolled down, "Pity him, he has been pampered since he was a child, where did he suffer this crime, he was beaten half to death, and he was carried back for a long time, and he has not returned to normal until now, listening to the family member who sent the letter, he was almost disabled." It's a pity that Feng Jinjie didn't know what to say to coax his brother-in-law, and Dongli didn't pursue this matter, and your eldest brother suffered in vain this beating......"

Su Wanzhen's face was pale, and she sat back in her chair in a daze, looking at her sister-in-law with distracted eyes.

Mrs. Su snorted and cried, cried for a while, and suddenly grabbed Su Wanzhen's hand: "Wanzhen, that's your brother, you have to stand up for him, you can't let him be so bad for nothing." It's so ruthless under the wind and strength, he doesn't care about the face of Dongli, and he doesn't leave half of your face. You just write a letter, talk to Dong Li, tell him to be evil, and also vent his anger for your brother, we can't suffer this grievance in vain. That's right...... It would be better if you could persuade him not to be so upright in everything, but to talk and consult with your brother well, and to take care of each other in all things. This career is difficult and dangerous, he has finally come to this point, he can't make enemies casually, even if he doesn't think about himself, he has to think about the future for you and the child. ”
