Chapter 45: Youth

The Halberd would actually prepare a gift for her?

This realization surprised Xie Zhiyun, and the charm just now suddenly dissipated, and only doubts were left at this moment.

"Little grandfather, what's the matter?"

The halberd raised his eyebrows and took her hand to the main room: "Why do you have to do something?" ”

Xie Zhiyun's lips hooked: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." ”

"Which one, little grandfather?"

The halberd paused slightly, and he turned his head, a look that seemed to be a smile on his face for the first time.

Xie Zhiyun finally realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Madame, how can I be the latter in my own family?"

Xie Zhiyun's face was even redder than Fang Cai.

The two of them went all the way back to the outer room of the main room, and when they saw the pear wood brocade box on the round table outside, Xie Zhiyun found that the halberd had been holding her wrist.

Xie Zhiyun flicked his wrist and broke free from his restraints.

"What is this?"

The halberd's hand naturally rested behind her waist and pushed it forward slightly.

"Madame see for herself."

Xie Zhiyun heard her heart beat faster, she didn't even know what she was nervous about, obviously she had received so many gifts from that small to large, but this one made her look forward to it.

She stretched out her hand, clicked open the brass buckle on the wooden box, and raised the lid of the box as soon as she raised her hand.

A quaint silver-handled dagger lay quietly on a red velvet.

The dagger was no bigger than a grown man's palm, the silver handle was small and smooth, made into a crescent shape, and the blade was hidden in a cowhide scabbard, so you could guess that it was extremely sharp without looking at it.

This dagger was just right for her to wear with her.

Wei Ji stood quietly behind Xie Zhiyun, looking at her bright side face, looking at the starlight in her eyes, and feeling extremely satisfied.

From the first moment he saw this dagger, he found its owner in his heart.

"How?" The Halberd asked seemingly casually.

Xie Zhiyun is very generous on weekdays, she never twists, but when facing the halberd, she unconsciously wants to be pretentious.

I want to twist it a little.

Xie Zhiyun coughed lightly, rolled his round eyes, and turned back to look at him.

There was a smile in her eyes, and there was a faint coquettishness in her tone: "Why did you think of giving me a gift?" ”

On weekdays, I always like to take the initiative to tease her halberd, but at this moment, I can't say anything when I meet her starry eyes.

When he rarely had a speech, the tight strings in his heart also loosened, and suddenly said: "I saw someone selling this dagger, and I thought that my wife didn't have a weapon on her hand, so I bought it." ”

Weapons......

Xie Zhiyun burst out laughing.

She was in a very good mood, and this laughter was particularly smart.

"What shall I do with my weapons?" Xie Zhiyun asked funny.

The halberd reached out and took out the dagger, playing nimbly with it in his hand.

Xie Zhiyun watched the dagger flip up and down, gliding through arcs of light and shadow in the sunlight.

Finally, the dagger rested in the thick palm of the guard's palm.

"Madam, everyone in our family must have a weapon in their hands, no matter who they are." The halberd motioned for her to take a step forward, gestured at her side, and then lifted the corner of the gown and tucked the dagger neatly around her waist, revealing only the silver handle engraved with pearls.

Because the dagger is small, only a small piece of silver handle is not dazzling, and others only think that she has a hand mirror with her, and they will not think it is a dagger.

Xie Zhiyun looked down, and felt that it was very suitable to be placed here, and as soon as the gown was covered, even the silver handle could not be seen.

There are some things that a wise person doesn't need to say.

Xie Zhiyun didn't joke with him anymore, but said very simply: "Thank you, little grandfather." ”

Wei Ji touched the bridge of his towering nose and coughed lightly: "Thank you." ”

After finishing the gifts, the guard said, "Let's have dinner." ”

I don't know when the halberd came back earlier and earlier, and the two of them became more and more accustomed to talking about internal and external matters at dinner.

The guard first talked about the situation in Yongfeng Cang, and said that the secret guard was secretly investigating, and no one was in or out of the granary at present, and no one had any new moves.

In addition, most of the displaced people have already been resettled, and they will be resettled after about five days.

Xie Zhiyun nodded and said that he understood.

The husband and wife talked about the previous matter for a while, and Xie Zhiyun said Wei Ningshu's plea.

After listening quietly, Wei Ji sighed: "Do you not know about the eldest sister?" ”

Xie Zhiyun shook his head.

Wei Ji thought for a moment, then put down his chopsticks and stared at the shadows of the trees swaying outside the window.

"Mrs. Li didn't want to remarry at that time, but she was saved by her father and mother, and she had the grace to save her life, and then her mother passed away, and I was still in infancy, in order to raise me, she only made a concubine for her father half-pushed and half-pushed."

"Actually, my mother wanted my father to remarry at that time, but Mrs. Li refused."

"She is devoted to Buddhism, always wants to be with the green lantern, she doesn't want to manage a family at all, raising so many children who are waiting to be fed."

So she only became a concubine, but now that she has a lady in the house, a second lady, and this monstrous wealth, she can always accompany the green light without distractions.

Wei Ji said: "I don't know what happened back then, but I only know that Mrs. Li was unexpectedly pregnant later, and she had to give birth to her eldest sister." ”

When she gave birth to Wei Ningshu, Wei Ji was already more than two years old.

At that time, Wei Ying was also older, and seeing that she was always sick, she took the initiative to shoulder the burden of raising her nephew, so that Zhang Li didn't have to worry about Wei Ningshu anymore and concentrated on raising Wei Ningshu.

"But at that time, my aunt was not very old, she was still an unmarried daughter, she didn't understand many things, and she wasn't so careful, it was not easy for her to maintain this family, and she didn't know what was going on in the invisible corner."

At that time, Wei Cang was licking blood with a knife outside, and the rice and grain he earned were all exchanged for flesh and blood, and most of the rice and grain he earned were recuperating from his injuries after he returned home, so he didn't find out how Mrs. Li treated Wei Ningshu.

Wei Ji's voice was a little dumb: "It's been two years, when I was more than four years old, and I finally found out that my eldest sister was wrong." ”

"The children next to me will cry when they are hungry and peeing and sleepy, but the eldest sister never dares to cry, she always sobs quietly, a little doll, skinny and skinny, especially refusing to let Mrs. Li hug her."

Wei Ji said: "I was only four years old at the time, and the elders would not let me play with my sister casually, for fear that I would not have a light hand, but I secretly opened my eldest sister's swaddling clothes when Mrs. Li went to chant Buddhism. ”

"The place where she was swaddled was covered with scars, layer upon layer, all gently buckled out by her fingernails."

When Xie Zhiyun heard this, he only felt that his hairs stood on end, and his body felt chills.

How much hatred is this, so that he will hurt his own flesh and blood to this point.

Wei Ji looked at Xie Zhiyun, his eyes were bright and clear, as if he had become that four-year-old child again.

"I told my father that the family needed a new mother," he said. ”

"A real mother who can raise a sook-mei."
