Chapter 226: A word wakes up
Wen Yi sat in the carriage, recalling what Qiu Tan had just said in the Wude Temple, and suddenly her eyes turned red, and she burst into tears.
If she had known that Prince Kang would act like this, even if he fell to a pulp or was trampled into the mud, she would not have looked at him and said a word for him. Sure enough, if you are too soft-hearted, you will bring disaster to yourself
At that time, she didn't know that she was helping the life and death feud in her previous life, but she had a little pity and formed a good fate, but it was okay, and in the future, it was because of him that she suffered a loss, and she only thought that she would suffer by herself, but she never expected that because of this moment's soft-heartedness, she would be affected by Liu Dongxing
Liu Dongxing also had the experience of going to northern Xinjiang in his previous life, but at that time he may not have been in the Jingnan camp, and he ended up disfigured and disabled, and he had to take a much greater risk in this life.
Liu Dongxing has been suppressed by his uncle and aunt since he was a child, and now he has finally been admitted to the Wujinshi, and he is about to come out, so he was sent to the battlefield. But now, because of King Kang's son, the prince already knows him, if Zhu Jingshen, the son of King Kang, is bent on embarrassing Liu Dongxing, slandering the prince and suppressing Liu Dongxing's development in his career, what should he do?
Wen Yi's five fingers tightly pinched the window edge of the carriage, and her mind was in chaos. She even thought that she and Liu Dongxing were destined to have no part? In his previous life, he became a monk in anger because of Duan Kerou's words, so he gave up this marriage, and in this life, the two finally decided to marry, but Liu Dongxing was going to go on an expedition again, and her future career was also burdened by her...... If it weren't for her, wouldn't his future be better?
Dong Que sat in the corner of the carriage, seeing that Wen Yi's face was getting paler and paler, and there was a hidden pain between his eyebrows, and his heart was even more guilty, when he even bent down, he cried: "Miss, it's not good to be a slave, if it weren't for the slave and maid to make their own opinions, there would be no such thing......"
Wen Yi was stunned for a moment when she heard her words, and then gradually turned around and said in a low voice: "Although you are at fault, the fault is not all on you...... Even if you tell me the truth, the result is just like this...... You know best everything between me and Brother Liu, how can I pay attention to others? Besides, that day was just a small ceremony, and the family affair was actually agreed early on, no matter who wanted to stop it, it would not change. In the end, the small ceremony will still be carried out, and the prince of King Kang will still be unhappy...... If he is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, he should keep his promise and let go and stop entanglement, but he still slandered the prince. Could it be that you forced him? I'm not confused, who is the culprit, I know very well in my heart. ”
Despite what she said, Tomallow still felt guilty: "But...... If the slave had made it clear to him at the beginning, there might have been no follow-up......"
"Explain what?" Wen Yi let go of the finger that was holding the window edge and leaned softly against the back of the car, "Could it be that you want to tell him that Brother Liu and I are in love, and we have already had a personal relationship?" Even if you say that I don't object to this family business, he may not be willing to let go, otherwise, after I have decided on my family, why would he send someone to investigate Brother Liu's affairs again, and then push Brother Liu to the battlefield? She had already decided that Zhu Jingshen, the son of King Kang, was a ruthless person, so naturally she wouldn't think that he would suddenly become soft-hearted, so she shook her head with a wry smile, "The result is the same, this is really the injustice of the previous life......"
Isn't it the injustice of a previous life? In the previous life, Zhu Jingshen killed her with a sword, and in this life, he pushed her fiancé to the dangerous front line with another sentence. The new and old hatreds in these two lives, as long as she lives for one day, she will never forget them
Wen Yi clenched her fists tightly, but then released them again, as if she had no strength all over her body.
That's it, the matter has come to this point, and it will be useless to regret and regret it. Since she has burdened Liu Dongxing, then accompany him for the rest of his life, if he returns safely, it will naturally be better, the two will get married in the future, she will definitely make the home comfortable for him, even if he is injured, disabled, and even lost his life, she also recognizes him and will never abandon him
Having made up her mind, Wen Yi began to take her thoughts away from remorse, and seeing that Dong Lyho was still choking, she said lightly: "Get up, although the fault is not all with you, but you are still wrong, I can't easily spare you just because you are the big girl with cronies around me." After returning to the Shilang Mansion, you handed over the errand to Xiuzhu, and went back to your own house, if I didn't tell you, you weren't allowed to come out until I said let you go, and then deduct half a year's monthly money, can you be convinced? ”
Dong Kui's family is in six rooms, with an elderly grandmother and a young sister, although everyone has errands, but the monthly money is not much. Wen Yi remembered that their Xu family also had a relative, I don't know if it was an uncle or an aunt, who was sold to another family in Pingyang City, and the situation was not very good, and the boy in the family was still sick, so the Xu family had to take out some money every month to help their family. Dong Lai is a big girl, and half a year's monthly money is a big income, but if it is gone, the Xu family will have to suffer for a few months. However, Mrs. Xu was waiting in Mrs. Lu's courtyard, and she often got some rewards, but she was not afraid that her family would be famine.
When Dong Que heard this, he naturally understood in his heart, kowtowed gratefully, and choked up: "Thank you Miss for your kindness" Stayed up, wiped her tears, and carefully persuaded: "The slave maid is at fault, I don't dare to say more, it's just an errand around the young lady, it's better to hand over some to Sister-in-law He, or buy an innocent little girl from outside to come in and call." Xiuzhu ...... Although I understand everything, I may not be reliable, and I just wait for idle errands, and ...... else."
Wen Yi knew that she was talking about errands such as sending letters to Liu Dongxing, Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Li, and the eldest cousin of the Nie family, or going outside to inquire about news, but she didn't care: "I know it in my heart." Forget about buying people, now it's not at home, so there's no need to gossip. The Zhao family also had the errand to go out, and then transferred Sister-in-law He in, and there was no one in the outer courtyard and Mama's side, which was inconvenient. Besides, Xiuzhu has understood a lot since the last incident, so you can give it another try. If there is an important errand, I will consider it. Hollyhock said no more.
When the carriage arrived at Li's house, Wen Yi and Mrs. Luo Si went to visit Li Chunxi together, and saw her leaning on the couch, looking dejected, and her left ankle was tightly wrapped in a white cloth, exuding a faint smell of medicine.
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "She has always loved dancing knives and guns, and it's not the first time she has hurt herself, but this time the doctor she invited is not one of those talkative doctors in the northern bone-setting medical hall, and she is not allowed to go to the ground after three Shen Wu orders, so she is crying and mourning, don't let her coax, look back and be careful, I promised her something, and when I woke up, I don't know how to regret it."
Mrs. Luo Si laughed when she heard this: "According to Sister Lu, could it be that she has already suffered a loss?" ”
Mrs. Li was stunned when she heard this, but she laughed. Li Chunxi muttered a few times dissatisfied, and didn't know what she was talking about, so Wen Yi whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, when you recover from your injury, you can go wherever you fall in love, if you can't control yourself at this time, the injury will worsen, won't it be more delayed?" ”
Li Chunxi tilted his head and sighed.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li knew that she had listened to Wen Yi's persuasion, smiled slightly, and said to Mrs. Luo Si: "You guys are coincidental, there is a fresh yellow croaker today, it's so big, I'll ask someone to burn it, you can stay at home and have a meal." Let's go to the front and talk, and let the children talk about themselves. Mrs. Luo Si thanked her with a smile and went out with her.
There were only two left in the room, Wen Yi and Li Chunxi, Wen Yi asked some questions such as how she was injured, what medicine she took, and what the imperial doctor ordered, Li Chunxi answered casually, and stared at her face until Wen Yi felt uncomfortable and asked, "What do you think I'm doing?" Li Chunxi said: "I see that there is a gloomy color between your eyebrows, but what is the sad thing?" ”
Wen Yi was stunned, and reluctantly smiled and straightened up: "How can there be?" I think I went to Wude Temple today, and I was a little tired.
"You coax me again" Li Chunxi raised his eyebrows, "What else do you have to worry about?" Isn't it just for Liu Dongxing to go to the frontier to fight? There are a lot of people who go, I heard that your fiancé's martial arts are good, and he is a five-grade man, what are you worried about? ”
Seeing her ask like this, Wen Yi had no choice but to confess: "I heard that he was assigned to the Jingnan camp...... Every time there is a big battle, there are a lot of people who die, and it is ...... in three-tenths."
Li Chunxi sneered: "Where is this rumor?" Every time the Jingnan battalion finishes a big battle, it will lose two or three percent of its personnel, but not all of those people have given their lives, and many of them will be transferred because they have made meritorious contributions and been promoted. Who is it who spreads the truth like this? ”
Wen Yi couldn't help but be stunned, and was immediately surprised: "So, there are rumors that the elite soldiers of the Jingnan battalion will always encounter the most dangerous battles every time......"
It's a pity that Li Chunxi's words immediately poured cold water on her: "This is not fake. The soldiers of the Jingnan battalion were the most ferocious, and they died a lot, but they also made a lot of contributions. The children of famous families were born with Qingyun Road, but those generals from ordinary families do not have such blessings, and if they want to get ahead, they naturally have to fight with their lives. This is nothing, the pension silver of the Jingnan camp is higher than that of other places, as long as you go in, in order to protect the family and defend the country, even if you give your life, there are people at home to take care of it. I heard that there are also torture camps there, and all the prisoners in the camp have committed capital crimes, and in order to atone for their sins and earn a free body, those torture prisoners are more desperate than ordinary soldiers. When I was in the north, I heard that there was a prisoner on death row, who was a robber and the most fierce, and was supposed to be executed, but when he arrived in the camp, just in time for the war in the north, he actually asked him to cut down the enemy and catch the enemy's scouts, and as a result, he not only earned his life, but also made a small boss in the border area. ”
Wen Yi was not interested in any of this, but was just worried about Liu Dongxing: "What about Brother Liu...... He hasn't been on the battlefield yet......"
"Who was born to go to war? There are firsts, and when you have a battle, as long as you are not a bad breed, you will soon get used to it. Li Chunxi was a little disapproving, "You are used to living a peaceful life, and you have never experienced in northern Xinjiang, so you are so worried." If you want me to say, it's better to relax, otherwise when he really goes on the expedition, how will you get through? This time he came back safely, and he will go again in the future? ”
Wen Yi's eyes widened, she almost didn't think about this problem, in her opinion, Liu Dongxing's expedition this time was enough to make people worry, but seeing Li Chunxi's reaction, she was a little unwilling: "He is my fiancé, he is going to the battlefield, I am worried, and it is human nature." I know that I am not like you, I have been in the north for a long time, I am used to seeing the world, I only know that I am afraid, and when I hear the news, I am at a loss, and I make people laugh at it......"
Li Chunxi hurriedly said: "I'm not laughing at you, I'm just persuading you to open some." In the past, when I was in northern Xinjiang, every time there was a war, my father had to go to the city or go out of the city, and my mother also had to worry, but what to do, she would still do it, and she couldn't just leave the business behind because she was worried. The north side is not as peaceful and leisurely as Beijing, and the female dependents only need to worry about their men at home, and there are still many things to do, where is there still time to think about the east and west? ”
Wen Yi blushed slightly, and was a little curious: "What are you all going to do?" ”
"There's a lot to do." Li Chunxi said, "My mother and they have to cook food, wash clothes, make clothes and shoes for the soldiers, if the barbarians are difficult to beat, we also have to help burn the hot oil, or nail nails into the wooden board, if they know medical skills, they also have to help take care of the wounded soldiers." I had to do everything, and when I was so busy, I didn't have time to drink saliva all day, and my mother said that at that time, she couldn't even think about what my father was doing, let alone worry. ”
Wen Yi admired it in her heart: "The women in Northern Xinjiang are really extraordinary. ”
Li Chunxi snorted and laughed: "Of course, this is true, but don't underestimate the people in the south." I also know a few soldiers' families in the capital, they don't have to help with those chores, but they all stay at home and wait for news. Someone asked them, why not be afraid? They said that they were afraid, but they still had to do what they had to do. The men of the family are fighting outside, and they have to help take care of the family so that they have no worries. Otherwise, there are old sons and daughters in the family, but the wife is a bad person, and the man fights with the barbarians, so he can't be distracted to think, and the family doesn't know what to do. That's going to kill you."
Wen Yi's heart moved, she was silent for a while, and nodded, "I understand." "It's useless to just worry here, she has to do what she has to do.
Li Chunxi was a little confused: "What do you understand?" ”
Wen Yi smiled: "I'll relax." Since Liu Dongxing has the courage to go on the expedition, she must also have the courage to wait for news at home, otherwise she will really fail him
She raised her head, smiled at Li Chunxi, and turned to ask about military uniforms, armor and the like.
