Chapter 8: The first time a husband and wife meet
"Knock knock."
A knock at the door shattered the silence inside.
"Master, the young lady ordered the winter solstice girl to send something." Canglan said through the door panel.
"Something left. . . Forget it, let her in," Yue Xun commanded, throwing the envelope on the table into the charcoal basin.
After a while, the door was opened, and Canglan led the winter solstice into the house.
"General, the girl is afraid that you will be hungry, so she specially ordered me to send rock sugar bird's nest soup." Dong Solstice hung her head and was covered in a cold sweat, she was really afraid of this uncle.
Yue Xun stared at the tray and was silent for a long time, and saw that his hands were already sore and trembling on the winter solstice, so he signaled Canglan to bring it up.
"You go back and tell the young lady that I will rest in the study tonight, so that she doesn't have to wait for me."
The candlelight in the house was too dim, and Yue Xun hid in it, and his expression was not real.
"Don't worry, general, the young lady has long been rested." The winter solstice breathed a sigh of relief, but then covered her mouth again, how could a woman not wait for her husband to rest directly, for fear that the general would blame her, she immediately explained: "The young lady has been waiting for the general for a long time, and the slave and maid will go down." ”
After saying that, the winter solstice hurriedly went out, and Yue Xun frowned when he saw this: "Canglan, the young lady is sick?" ”
"I didn't see the doctor called in the courtyard, what's wrong with the master?" Canglan was confused.
"She's resting early today, just ask." , of course, Yue Xun couldn't say that she would wait for herself in the past, but she would sleep by herself.
Canglan touched his head and suddenly realized: "Today, the young lady brought the young lady of the uncle's family to the courtyard, thinking that it was because she had rested early." ”
"Hmm." , Yue Xun loves this niece very much, and often let her ride on his shoulders before the accident, and take her to hang around the capital, but unfortunately later because of the war all the year round to the front line, the little niece is the stage of recognizing people, and then she is estranged.
In the middle of the night, Yue Xun flipped through the yellowed military book in his hand, but his heart drifted to other places, and finally he couldn't sit still and moved his wheelchair to the master bedroom. Seeing this, Canglan hurriedly went up to take a hand.
"General." , Dong Solstice was dozing outside the door, and in a trance he saw someone exclaiming.
"Open the door, I have something left in the house." Yue Xun's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
Dong Solstice didn't dare to delay, and gently pushed the door open: "General, do you need the help of the slave?" ”
"No need, you and Canglan are waiting for me outside the door." Yue Xun leaned on the wheel axle and entered the house.
The room was pitch black, only the window leaked, the moonlight shone on the couch finely, Yue Xun moved the wheelchair to the couch, only to see a big and a small two people snuggled together, like a mother and daughter. Yue Xun stretched out his hand and stroked the little girl's head, and then looked at Rou Yun's sleeping face and fell into a trance, facing Xiuwai Huizhong's wife, how could he not be moved; As Qu Ke said, he is already a wasted person, how can he be willing to pull her into the abyss together, she will leave sooner or later if she repays the favor, and all he can do is to distinguish the boundaries and return her freedom in the future; Yue Xun helped the two of them cover the futon and move out of the door in wheelchairs.
The next day, Guo Shi was worried that the child would come to Changying Courtyard early to wait, Rou Yun did not stay longer, after feeding Yan Yan breakfast, he sent her and Guo out of the door, at this time the snow outside the courtyard has been sunburned by the warm winter sun, and the begonia flowers that were covered also revealed at this moment also revealed pink stamens, the beautiful scenery can not be disappointed, after many days of cold war, Rou Yun's anger has long been gone, the pride of Yue Xun Tian, once he falls, it is inevitable that he will be psychologically unbalanced, as a wife, he should have more understanding, thinking so, Rou Yun is in a good mood, pacing towards the study, Canglan still stayed outside the house as usual.
"What excuse are you going to use to stop me this time?" Without waiting for Canglan to speak, Rou Yun took the lead.
Canglan rubbed his head in embarrassment, if it wasn't for the master's orders, where would he be qualified to stop the young lady, but as a subordinate, he couldn't push the master as a shield, so he had to take a step back and say: "Young lady, wait a minute, I'll go and report." ”
Yue Xun, a person who practiced martial arts, had already had an insight into the situation outside the room, and Canglan pushed the door and was about to open his mouth to say goodbye, but how did he know that Rou Yun followed behind him at this time and also broke in.
"Husband is awake, would you like to enjoy your face and go out with me?" Rou Yun couldn't help but say, and stepped forward to push the wheelchair: "I think my husband won't refuse, then let's go out." ”
Yue Xun will not refuse, for her matter, he seems to be more tolerant. Canglan had the insight to stay in the study and did not follow.
The pond in the Changying courtyard is covered with a thin layer of ice, along the pond is a pavilion, the tip of the pavilion is dark jujube red, the eaves of the pavilion are paved by white glazed tiles, and there are four dark green stone pillars at the bottom, which looks antique. There were only two people in the pavilion, Yue Xun and Rou Yun, and they looked out at a snowy patch.
Rou Yun rubbed her hands together and squatted down in front of Yue Xun, covered her skeletal hands, and asked, "Will Husband be cold?" ”
Yue Xun felt her grab her cold hands and stick them to that pretty face, the woman's breath sprayed in his palm, and the strange feeling made his heart tremble.
"Husband?" Seeing that he didn't refuse, Rou Yun had the audacity to put her face sideways against Yue Xun's legs.
"It's not cold." Yue Xun dodged back, and subconsciously held on to the handle of the wheelchair with both hands.
"Why is my husband hiding from me?" Rou Yun said aggrievedly: "It's good for my husband to go back to the master bedroom to sleep at night, I'm afraid to rest alone." ”
Yue Xun laughed a little in his heart, he would go to help his wife cover the quilt every night, not at all like she said, he was so scared that he didn't dare to sleep, he didn't know where his wife learned the moves, but it was obvious that he didn't reject it.
Rou Yun saw that Yue Xun was indifferent, thinking of the moves taught by the old lady these days, men have a good face, and they can't stand being teased by women, you just have to be coquettish with him, to ensure that it is useful, so she gritted her teeth and stood up, wanting to be more intimate with Yue Xun, but she was afraid of hurting his wounds.
Yue Xun saw her staring at her legs, and probably knew what her idea was, so he pulled her over and hugged her and held her in his arms.
Rou Yun didn't expect such a thing at all, and her whole body tensed up in fright, but she still had the courage to put her hands around his neck.
"Heh" Yue Xun couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
The young man's voice was hearty and clear, but the second time Rou Yun saw him smile, the first time he glanced at the crowd, and the young general flew wantonly.
"Yo, I didn't come at the right time, not at the right time." Wei Shi stepped into the courtyard with the maid, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the warm moment between the two, and he covered his eyes and turned around.
"Mother is here." Rou Yun immediately got up, her fingertips clasped uncomfortably.
"Huh!" Seeing that he had disturbed the husband and wife, Wei felt a pity in his heart, and walked into the pavilion with the maid.
Yue Xun nodded: "Mother." ”
The son's cold temperament has long been unaccustomed to it, and it doesn't matter if Wei's is not cold, as long as he is not cold to his daughter-in-law, once a man becomes a family, it will be like being immersed in honey water, and sooner or later he will melt. It's not a matter of time before there is a son and a half daughter, Wei looked at the black decoction in the maid's hand, and was happy, it was a home remedy for a child bought from Beijing, and no matter how good the relationship was, the body should be good.
"The husband and wife enjoy the snow, it's very good, it's lazy, Yun'er, you have to take him out for a walk often." Wei sat on the stone bench and instructed.
"Don't worry, Mother, I know." Rou Yun's eyebrows and eyes curled to look at Yue Xun.
"And you, okay, I heard that you haven't been back to the master bedroom to rest for many days, it's not that my mother said you, you are also a family now, how can you not care about your daughter-in-law's feelings, the old lady finally found such a good girl as Yun'er, you have to cherish it." The more Wei Shi said, the more energetic he became: "When your father was your age, you could make soy sauce, it was originally because you had been on the front line for a long time and delayed a little time, and now it is not too late, you Chang Yun'er is so old, you should also take care of others, but you can also consider the heirs." ”
"You're a man, take the initiative."
Rou Yun listened to it on the side, her face was red and her ears were hot, and it happened that Grandma Sun came to pass it, and the old lady was invited, and she was immediately relieved, and she was about to rush to Nanshan Courtyard when she said goodbye to Wei's mother and son, and she was stunned when she passed by Yuexun.
"Okay." Yue Xun cherishes words like gold, but Rou Yun knows what he means, he no longer chooses to avoid her, Rou Yun is in a happy mood, and her smile is very moving.
Wei Shi saw that Rou Yun had gone away, Yue Xun was still staring at the back of the person in a daze, and scolded with a smile: "You have no conscience, you have secrets with your daughter-in-law, and you are still staring at it." ”
Yue Xun retracted his gaze, and his tone was as cold as usual: "Mother came today, is there anything wrong?" ”
Wei Shi then remembered the purpose of coming today, and beckoned the maid to bring the decoction: "This is the prescription I asked for a lot of money, from now on, I will instruct the maid to boil it and send it, you remember to take it every day." ”
Yue Xun thought that she had been deceived by a quack doctor and bought the medicine to treat her leg injury, but she didn't look at it and said: "You don't have to send the decoction, and your mother won't bother about the leg disease." ”
"What kind of medicine for leg ailments?" Wei thought for a while, and then remembered the miscellaneous medicine that he was deceived into buying when his son had an accident, and his old face blushed and defended: "This is not a medicine for leg diseases, this is a well-known prescription for children in Kyoto." ”
Yue Xun looked terrible: "You don't need such things. ”
Wei Shi was also a little embarrassed, but he still stubbornly said: "Yun'er is a girl's family, this kind of thing requires the cooperation of both men and women, your father has no time to teach you this, I will send someone to send a few books for you to study and study, you hurt her more, and now you... It's good that you can't go to the battlefield, when the border plug needs you, there is an heir, and Yun'er also has a whereabouts. ”
The Yue family was full of people to serve the country, and the old lady Yue sacrificed his life bravely on the battlefield with the Turks; Yuexun's uncle died in the Battle of the Xiongnu. Counting up, the ancestors have sacrificed for the country for countless generations, men are killing enemies outside, and women can only wait for their husbands to return in Beijing, if they can have a child, how can it not be a kind of sustenance. Wei and her husband get together less and leave more, and when Yue Xun was young, it was common for her mother to cry alone and look into the distance, will she be the same in the future?
"Put the medicine away." Yue Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good." Wei Shi took the decoction from the maid's hand and put it on the stone bench in the pavilion, "You have to drink it while it's hot, the effect of the medicine is not good when it's cold, and the embroidery room wants to send new tricks, so I'll go back first." ”
"Hmm."
Soon after Wei left, Canglan couldn't wait for his master to return to the house for a long time, and he was afraid that something would happen.
Yue Xun raised his jaw and signaled: "Send it to find out what kind of medicinal materials they are." ”
"Yes, master." Canglan didn't know what it was, so he didn't ask much and just did it.
Yue Xun didn't believe his mother, but he was afraid that she would be bluffed again and buy some flashy things.
