Noble First Daughter-in-law

As soon as these words came out, a gust of wind suddenly blew from nowhere.

The wind was so light that it didn't even lift a corner of the light clothes on the two of them, it only caused a slight ripple in the pond beside them; but the lightness of the moonlight became shimmering due to the ripples Lin, reflected in Yu Wenzhen's eyes, as if his eyes also flickered.

But his face was still as calm as ever.

Shang Ruyi was still staring at him, holding her breath, unconsciously clenched her two hands hanging by her sides, her palms were covered with cold sweat, as if she was waiting for some dangerous result.

Yu Wenzhen chuckled suddenly, and then said, "Have you seen Xue Xian?"

"...?"

Shang Ruyi was startled, and subconsciously shook her head.

Yu Wenzhen smiled again, and then said: "Actually, I haven't seen him either, but my father has worked with him before. His evaluation is—brave and invincible."

Hearing these four words, Shang Ruyi's heart sank.

Just now, her whole body was tense and she couldn't even hold her breath, because Yu Wenzhen's last words made her think of some unbelievable, even terrifying "possibility", so she nervously waited for the result of yes or no, and even more so. Waiting for something like a sentence of fate.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wenzhen skipped this question lightly, Shang Ruyi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could finish this breath of relief, Yu Wenzhen hit another heavy result on her heart heavily.

This tightening and loosening almost made her heart feel unbearable, and she was aching.

After a long silence, she said softly: "Invincible...?"

"good,"

Yu Wenzhen said: "Fengchen's ability - I don't need to say much, I believe you know it better than many people. But my father's evaluation of him is only 'brave and good at fighting'."

"..."

"Xue Xian was able to occupy all of Longxi and Fufeng in such a short period of time. His abilities should be understood even by people who have no military knowledge; what's more, younger brother and sister, you were born as a general and have experienced so many hardships with Feng Chen. The war must be clearer than others."

"..."

"But Fengchen—"

Speaking of this, Yu Wenjian looked down at Shang Ruyi, who was in a daze, and slowly said: "He should have been going out continuously since he was appointed a general of the Fuguo, and he was injured along the way, so he didn't have time to rest."

"..."

Shang Ruyi's breathing suddenly became heavy.

If only Xue Xian was mentioned, maybe she would not have any reaction, but what Yu Wenzhen said suddenly touched the softest part of her heart.

In fact, before Yu Wenye was canonized as the general of the Fuguo, he was injured in Yanmen County with an arrow to drive back the Turkic army; after returning to Luoyang, when he got the news of the official wife's death, he was heartbroken and in pain When he was unbearable, he was named a general and went to Xingluocang for several days without sleep. He fell off a cliff and was pierced by a dead branch in his shoulder; He didn't say a word about the days he spent in Dali Temple, but Shang Ruyi knew that Wang Shaoji and Zhai Ying would definitely not make it easy for him; and after that, he only had a short rest, and he set out for Wanggang Village again , although he withdrew halfway, but in order to save Empress Jiang, Huazi Ying was shot by several arrows in his body. Before he recovered from his injuries, he went south to Jiangdu Palace to fight a bloody way from the imperial guards to save himself...

Thinking of his experiences these days, Shang Ruyi only felt a chill in his heart.

No matter how strong he is, he is only a body of flesh and blood.

It is impossible for him not to know that he is tired, and it is impossible not to know the pain...

Seeing Shang Ruyi's face suddenly pale, Yu Wenzhen said calmly: "My brothers and sisters should understand that sometimes it's not just about soldiers and horses, it's not just the art of war, but also the general."

"..."

"Although Fengchen is young, if he continues to spend like this, he will be dragged down sooner or later."

"..."

Shang Ruyi looked at him, speechless for a moment.

Yu Wenzhen's eyes, expression, and even the tone of every word he spoke were heavy and sincere, which was no different from the way Yu Wenye talked about his relationship with him before.

Is he really caring about Yu Wenye?
There is really so much affection between them brothers, brothers and sisters respectful...?
But this battle...

Just when Shang Ruyi's mind was a little confused, there was a sound of footsteps in front of him, as if someone was walking towards this side, Yu Wenzhen looked up, then smiled and said: "These words of mine , I hope my younger siblings will think about it more."

When he was done, he turned to leave.

He had just taken two steps when Shang Ruyi's voice came from behind him——

"Big brother."

Yu Wenye's footsteps stopped.

Shang Ruyi stood on the spot, her eyes flickered, but she looked at the tall and handsome back with a serious expression. After taking off the monk robe, she regained the romantic and unrestrained style of the son of the aristocratic family, but in this night, it seemed that countless secret.Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, and said softly, "Brother just said that the battle against Xue Xian will be an unprecedented battle. Is it really just these two reasons?"

"..."

The broad shoulders seemed to tremble slightly.

But Yu Wenjian didn't turn his head back, he just replied calmly: "Otherwise?"

"..."

"Do the younger siblings think there are other reasons?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi's throat was stuck and she couldn't speak.

It was also because this possible "reason" was so terrifying that she felt a pain in her heart just thinking about it.

It was only then that she realized that although Yu Wenzhen had an easy-going attitude and was gentle with others, he was a soft and tough person, and as long as he didn't want to, no one could get a word from him that he didn't want to say.

At this time, Yu Wenzhen slowly turned his face sideways again, the moonlight outlined his handsome face, especially the clear outline of his side face, which was even more mysterious in the night.

He said: "Speaking of which, I just returned to Yuwen's house."

"..."

"I know a lot of things, maybe not as much as you, my siblings."

After speaking, he smiled lightly, then turned around and walked away.

And Shang Ruyi stood there, watching his back as he left lightly, his last words echoed in his mind, suddenly there was an indescribable chill rising from his aching heart.

With that bit of chill, Shang Ruyi walked slowly to the dining room.

The entire Yuwen Mansion is brightly lit tonight, and the silver candles are shining brightly here, illuminating the inside and outside as if it were daytime.As soon as Shang Ruyi walked in, she saw that Yu Wenzhen had already taken her seat, but she was sitting under Yu Wenyuan's left hand—there was where Yu Wenye used to be, and Yu Wenye had also arrived, sitting quietly on the side.

After taking a bath, he changed into a dark blue long gown, the jade belt was tied tightly, and his long hair was tied behind his head. He looked clean and neat, completely different from the casual and comfortable Yu Wenjian who was dressed in green on the other side. .

The two people sitting on both sides of Yu Wenyuan are even more contrasting.

As soon as he saw Shang Ruyi walking into the dining hall, he immediately got up and walked over: "Why did you come here?"

Shang Ruyi forced a smile: "I just got lost."

Yu Wenye glanced at her, didn't say anything, and led her over to sit down. Yu Wenyuan was talking to Yu Wenzhen when he saw Shang Ruyi coming, and said with a smile: "This mansion is bigger than the one in Luoyang before. Quite a few, Ruyi, you just came here, so I’m afraid you’re not familiar with it yet. Let Ye’er take you to get acquainted with this place in these few days. By the way, you seem to have lived in Daxing City when you were young, right?”

Shang Ruyi hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, father."

Yu Wenyuan said: "Let Ye'er take you to the city to have a look. There are still a lot of changes between here and back then."

Although he was smiling and spoke very kindly, Shang Ruyi's heart sank slightly after hearing these words.

He asked Yu Wenye to take him to familiarize himself with this mansion, and even more so with the entire Daxing City—that is to say, he didn't plan to let Yu Wenye go out immediately in the next few days?

Just when Shang Ruyi was thinking secretly, Yu Wenye had already said: "Yes."

Shang Ruyi immediately looked back at him.

The smile on Yu Wenyuan's face deepened, and he said: "Speaking of which, Jian'er hasn't returned to Daxing City for many years."

As he said that, he looked back at the eldest son beside him. Because of his high position and authority, his face looked majestic in the eyes of the world, and he was not angry and majestic. It's finally home."

Yu Wenzhen immediately stood up, bowed to him, and said, "Father, my son is not filial. He has been wandering around all these years, and he has not been able to accept the joy and fulfill the responsibilities of a son of man. It is really—"

"All right!"

Yu Wenyuan waved his hand, interrupted his words, pulled him to sit down again, and said happily: "You come back, it is the greatest filial piety!"

As he said that, he laughed again: "The old man is really happy today. Serve the wine. I want to drink to my heart's content all night today!"

At this time, Aunt Hui came up with a jar of wine.

Seeing her, Yu Wenye's expression was quite natural, but Shang Ruyi still couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.

Serving wine has always been done by servants and maids at home, why is she serving wine herself at this time?
Yu Wenyuan also frowned, and said: "Why, you still—" Before he finished speaking, he was stunned when he saw the wine jar in Aunt Hui's hand.

"This wine..."

Aunt Hui gently put the wine jar on the table, and said respectfully: "Duke still remember this wine?"

"..."

Yu Wenyuan didn't speak immediately, but only looked at it carefully, and then said softly: "It's Jiu Yunchun."

Aunt Hui immediately laughed and said, "Guogong really still remembers. When the eldest lady came into the mansion, she brought ten altars and nine altars of spring. The Duke was bold and drank nine altars on the wedding night, leaving only this altar."

"..."

"Now, Eldest Young Master has finally come back, this jar of wine is just for tonight's joy."

After she finished speaking, the whole dining room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Yu Wenyuan.

But Yu Wenyuan, who was talking and laughing just now, suddenly fell silent at this moment, and there was a strange solemnity on that dark face.

After a while, he murmured: "Tonight's joy..."
