Chapter XXIV
Seeing that the two of them were fighting more and more exciting, and the things in the shop were also smashed, the shopkeeper wanted to cry without tears, and they didn't stop shouting on the side, and in desperation, they could only send the guy to report to the official.
The man's flying leg kicked violently towards the stepminister's head, if it was in the middle, it must be a serious injury, the stepminister hurriedly dodged and dodged, but he was angry, his right arm stretched out decisively, and he grabbed the man's leg in his hand with a fierce hand, and after holding it tightly, he put his hands together when he couldn't break free, and threw it out with all his strength, smashing the man on the counter in the distance.
The man screamed as he crumbled with a blow to his back, and the counter was overwhelmed and shattered into pieces.
The woman Yingying stood up from the chair, looked at her step-minister with a smile on her face, and said, "You won, that step is yours!"
After that, he looked at the man lying on the ground and screamed, and sneered: "Brother Liao's martial arts seem to be nothing more than that. ”
The step-minister finally couldn't hold back, clenched his fists and glared at the woman, and scolded: "He likes you, even if you don't like him, you won't mock him like this!"
The woman smiled disdainfully, turned her face to her step-minister and said, "Miss Ben likes it, what's the matter with you?"
The step-minister was obviously angry with her, but he didn't know what to say, so he just exhaled with anger on his face and stood there with his fists clenched.
When the officers and soldiers rushed in, they saw the angry Wu Jichen and Liao Biyan, the son of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who fell to the ground.
When the officers and soldiers took the two away, the step-minister couldn't help but glance back at the woman who was still standing in the house.
The woman and her step-reliner looked at each other, smiling triumphantly and cheerfully.
It is said that Wu Jichen stayed in the prison until dark before he was picked up by his grandfather's family.
When General Wu heard about this, he was furious, and taught this troublesome rebel a good lesson in the martial arts, and he showed no mercy when he started.
After Wu Jichen was carried out of the martial arts field by his family, he lay on the bed for two whole days before he barely got out of bed.
After a little half a month in the blink of an eye, Wu Jichen finally survived his injury, and packed himself up neatly early in the morning, and rushed to Wen's house to visit with the step that was not easy to win.
Thinking that he would be able to see Wen Yue's innocent little face that loves to smile, the corners of Wu Jichen's mouth kept curling slightly.
The sun is slightly warm, the sky is clear, and the weather is as good as it was back then, just like the mood of the step-minister at the moment.
When Wen Yue heard the news that the maid was announcing that the step-minister was coming, she was stunned for a moment, and finally turned her face to the nurse and smirked, her eyes were filled with damp moisture, and she smiled and took the nurse's hand and coquettishly: "Brother step-minister is back, he finally came back to me." ”
The nurse stroked Wen Yue's hair lovingly, and smiled lovingly: "Yes, I'm finally back, how can I be reluctant not to come back." ”
Wen Yue wiped her eyes with a smile, turned her head and asked the maid, "Where is he now?"
The maid smiled ambiguously and replied, "Young Master Wu is talking to Madame now, saying that after seeing Madame, I will come to see Madame, so that you can wait for him." ”
Wen Yue stood up all of a sudden, and hurriedly ran outside the house, saying as she ran: "I don't want to wait for him, I'm going to find him!"
The mother-in-law shook her head and smiled at her appearance, and hurriedly got up and chased after her.
When Wen Yue passed by the willow tree back then, she saw a young man standing there with his back to him, the man was wearing a silver-gray robe, and his back looked tall and elegant.
The man held a brocade box in his left hand behind his back, and his right hand was caressing a wicker stick.
Wen Yue's heart "pounded", she approached the man step by step, smiled softly, and opened her lips as sweetly as back then: "Brother Jichen." ”
The step-minister was stunned for a moment when he heard this voice, and his fingers trembled slightly in disobedience.
It's been nine years, and I don't know what Wen Yue has become, and if she will like to laugh like she did back then, like to walk around, and like to hold her hand.
With a smile on his face, the step-minister turned around expectantly and raised his head to look at Wen Yue.
The moment their eyes met, the step-minister's smile froze on his face. A pair of wide-eyed eyes were filled with several emotions, some were surprised, some were angry, some were sad, some were puzzled, but there was no such elation as expected.
The brocade box in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and the step-minister exhaled deeply.
Wen Yue looked at her step-minister, and the shock in her eyes was no less than his.
How is he, how is he, why is he, the one who was teased and put in prison by himself.
Wen Yue took a step forward in a panic, tears were about to burst into her eyes, she stretched out her arm to grab her step-minister's hand, and explained in a trembling voice: "That day, I didn't know it was you......"
Before he could react, the step-minister dodged Wen Yue's outstretched hand.
He also seemed to be a little surprised by his instinctive reaction, and the step-minister took a step back in surprise.
Wen Yue thought that his reactions were disgusted with himself, and the words he originally wanted to explain were stuck in his throat, and without saying a word, he took a step back and withdrew his hand.
The step-minister's face sank, turned around and left.
Wen Yue took a step forward, but never opened her mouth to call him.
Looking underground, the brocade box he had fallen to the ground was broken in half, and it was the nine-colored golden phoenix that rolled out of it.
The nurse sighed, walked to Wenyue from a distance, and gently hugged the crying man in her arms.
The next meeting was on the second day, Wen Yue heard the maid report that the step-minister was leaving, and hurriedly ran out of the door with a pale face, and the nurse knew her temperament, so she followed without saying anything.
Wen Yue rode a fast horse to catch up, and finally caught up with his step-retainer who was riding a horse slowly on a small road ten miles away from the imperial city.
With a cold face, she stuffed the reins into the nurse's hand, and Wen Yue rushed to the step-minister's horse with anger.
"You don't mean what you say, you obviously said that you would come back to see me!" Wen Yue's eyes were full of anger, and her tone trembled slightly with excitement.
The step-minister grabbed the reins and got off the horse, didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Wen Yue's face.
Her face was gloomy, just like the look she had when she met her in the store that day, and where she still had the innocent and lively look of her childhood.
Jichen's heart cooled, after all, it has been nine years, and the little Wenyue in his memory has long been gone.
Jichen sighed, looked into her eyes and said lightly: "I'm here, we've already met." With that, he lowered his eyes.
Wen Yue burst into tears, with a very aggrieved voice in her voice: "I've been waiting for nine years, not just to see you. ”
Jichen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her face, but there was still only anger on her face, and there was no other expression.
A look of disappointment flashed, and the step-minister sighed, "Yes, it's been nine years, and we're no longer children." ”
Wen Yue ignored his words, looked him in the eye, and said, "You bought that step shake for me, right?"
Thinking of that man, Jichen's heart became sour for some reason, he turned his face away and stopped looking at her, turned around and stepped on the horse, and said: "I shouldn't have robbed him, if it was my adult beauty, that step would also be in your hands, and it wouldn't give birth to so many things." ”
Wen Yue didn't speak, biting her lower lip tightly.
"It's not early," Jichen lowered his head to look at her, and said in a low voice: "Wenyue, take care." ”
As soon as the reins were raised, the horses neighed and prepared to run.
Wen Yue suddenly stepped forward and stretched out her arms to block the horse.
The step-minister was startled, and immediately used all his strength to pull the reins, and the horse neighed and raised its front hooves, only a few feet away from Wen Yue's face.
The nurse in the distance was frightened into a cold sweat, trembling and about to run over, but as soon as she took a step, she heard an angry roar.
"Are you crazy!" Jichen jumped off the horse in one step, pulled Wen Yue aside with red eyes, and gasped to carefully check whether she was injured.
"You know how dangerous it is!"
The nurse stopped and laughed softly, the young man still had to solve his own affairs.
Wen Yue took out the brocade box in her arms, took out the step and shook it in front of her step-minister, and said with a cry in her voice: "I don't like what he bought, I only like what you bought." ”
The step-minister was stunned for a moment and let go of the arm that was holding Wen Yue.
"I deliberately wanted to make him ugly that day, I didn't like him, but his father had already come to ask for a kiss. ”
The step-minister didn't say anything, just looked into Wen Yue's eyes.
Wen Yue pursed her lips and shed tears, her hand kept holding and refused to put it down, "I like this step shake, you help me put it on." ”
Jichen remembered when she had to fold willow branches by herself when she was a child, and sighed helplessly, "I knew you were stubborn, but I didn't expect this to be the same." ”
"It hasn't changed at all," Wen Yue looked directly into her stepson's eyes, "I still like you very much, brother stepminister." ”
The step-minister's heart slammed hard, looked at her for a long time, and finally reached out to take the step. Take a step closer to her, and carefully insert the baby in her hair.
Wen Yue lowered her head and smiled with tears on her face.
finally came to the imperial city once, and of course General Wu had to bring his step-ministers to visit his in-laws.
The old general specially selected and bought a jade bracelet of good color and gave it to his step-minister, and instructed him to deliver it to Miss Zhang by hand.
If you are going to be a husband and wife in the future, you should contact you in advance about whether the relationship is good.
General Wu handed over the jade bracelet to his step-minister just one moment ago, and the jade bracelet fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces the next moment. The old general was so angry that his beard was cocked, and he punished his step-minister to kneel under the sun, and went to visit his in-laws with gifts.
Wen Yue sat on the ground with her step-minister, her face was a little displeased, "It's obvious that I broke it, why do you have to carry the black pot for me." ”
The step-minister glanced at her and sighed helplessly: "This bracelet provoked you, why did you have to drop it." Wen Yue was silent, lowering her head and picking a stone on the ground.
Jichen sighed and said, "Your temper has also changed, only this time, not as an example!"
Wen Yue raised her head and smiled, her face full of smugness. He always protects himself, nine years ago and now.
Jichen coughed and turned his face away from her and stopped looking at her, for fear that she would see that he was too careful.
Even if her father knew that she broke it, he would never punish her, but he just didn't want his father to have a prejudice against her because of this, even if he knew that he already had a marriage contract, even if he knew that he could only be delusional if he thought about it.
