Gong Xue has bandits

Chapter 10

The cold moon hangs high, and under the same clear light, the Fengguo Mansion is much more lively. Previously, Mrs. Mei made such a fuss, and the guards of the whole mansion were mobilized to stop them, but it was also in chaos Among them, a blind guard drew a crossbow and accidentally injured Mrs. Mei with the arrow, causing her to fall off the wall, and Duke Feng's face turned pale with fright.

"Meiniang, does your leg still hurt? I've kicked that bastard who hurt you out of the house, don't be so angry, okay..."

The candles in the room were flickering, Duke Feng was dressed in fine attire, his handsome and elegant face was full of flattery, he sat on the edge of the bed and made a low profile, he was a completely different person from the majestic head of the family who was slapped in public outside before.

However, the red shadow on the bed didn't show any face, turned his back to him coldly, and didn't say a word, but this Duke Feng was so shameless, he still smiled and leaned forward, like coaxing a child:
"Meiniang, can I tell you a joke for my husband?"

"Once upon a time, there was a pretty lady who was good at dancing swords, but not good at reading and writing. One day, a visitor came to the mansion. It was Mr. Xiang who brought a few sons to the banquet. As soon as he entered the door, he greeted: "The truth is that I brought my youngest son here to congratulate you." After hearing this, the pretty lady came out to greet the guests happily: "Come on, come, what kind of grapefruit do you bring, it's a surprise.""

Speaking of this, Duke Feng couldn't hold back, he started to laugh out loud, as if the more he thought about it, the happier he was, he couldn't stop patting the shoulder of the red shadow on the bed, "Meiniang, do you think it's funny?"

The red shadow finally couldn't hold back, sat up suddenly, and trembled with anger: "Yes, yes, I am a vulgar and uneducated Jianghu person, making jokes every day, and I can't stand up to you, Fengguo's mansion, I Just leave now, you don't need to be sarcastic anymore!"

Duke Feng bumped into a hard nail, and hurriedly stopped laughing: "I definitely didn't mock Madam, I really think Madam is so cute, every time I think of it, I can't help laughing, my love for Madam grows stronger with time..."

"Hey, Wen Renjing, is it interesting for you to be so hypocritical? I sound disgusting, get out, I don't want to see you again!"

Ruan Xiaomei on the bed became more and more annoyed, and she stretched out her hand to push Duke Feng out of the bed, but the shameless man held her hand tightly and bowed forward flatteringly: "Don't be like this, I'm really worried about you , good Mei Niang..."

Ruan Xiaomei pulled out her hand violently, and wanted to slap Wen Renjing's face down, but she hesitated for a while, and Wen Renjing quickly called out: "Xiaomei!"

The hand finally stopped in mid-air.

After a long time, Ruan Xiaomei's eyes turned red, and she slapped herself in anger: "What evil have I done!"

Wen Renjing's complexion changed drastically, he stepped forward and hugged Ruan Xiaomei, wanting to see the red mark on her face in distress, but was pushed away fiercely, Ruan Xiaomei pointed at him with slender fingers, and asked sharply:
"Wen Renjing, let me ask you, why have you never waited to see Ah Jun since you were a child? I really can't figure it out, isn't she our daughter? Is it because she is not from the eldest wife, but a concubine?"

Wen Renjing waved his hands in a panic: "No, it's not, Xiaomei, you know that I love you the most, why don't I wait to see our daughter, I, I..."

He was tongue-tied for a long time, but in the end he couldn't explain why, just like countless times in the past, Ruan Xiaomei was completely disheartened, she didn't want to look at this gentle and hypocritical face anymore, pulled up the quilt and lay down on the bed, and recited it again Going away, gritted his teeth and wept silently.

"Xiaomei, I really..."

Seeing her like this, Wen Renjing felt heartbroken and couldn't say anything, but there were some things that... he couldn't say.

How to express that complex emotion?Wen Renjing felt that if he said it, no one would believe it, even he himself would find it ridiculous——

It is true that he does not wait for people to see and hear, but it is not because she is not the daughter of the eldest lady, but precisely because she was born by Ruan Xiaomei, the only child between her and him.

No one knows how much he loves his "Madam Mei", the one who used to lead a horse under a willow tree in March in Yangchun, holding a double-moon scimitar behind his back, smiling with crooked eyebrows, bright and hearty Jianghu girl.

Obviously called "Ruan Xiaomei", she should be a soft and sweet little girl, gentle and dignified, just like countless girls from aristocratic families he has seen, but she is not at all gentle, so bright and sturdy, like Like a fire, it is more brilliant than the red clouds in the sky.

In the spring of that year, Wen Renjing went on a study tour and saw Ruan Xiaomei for the first time under the willow tree. From then on, his soul fell into an extremely gorgeous dream, with fresh clothes and angry horses, vigorous and vigorous, and he could not wake up again.

He is a scholar, or in other words, the whole family is a typical aristocratic scholar-bureaucrat. Before meeting Ruan Xiaomei, he had always thought that he would marry a well-matched, well-educated wife.

But if life is seen to the end at a glance and there are no accidents, it is not called life.

In fact, Wen Renjing liked this accident very much.

He followed her through the rivers and lakes for a period of time, experienced countless things that he could not have imagined before, and finally held her hand, worshiped the heaven and the earth in the clear mountains and rivers, and became husband and wife.

Unfortunately, a hearty dream came to an abrupt end.

In the end, he was found by his family members. At that time, he heard that something happened to his family, so he had to find him and return to the imperial city to shoulder his own responsibilities.

What responsibility?

Get married, marry the eldest daughter of the Boyang Hou family, keep the crumbling Wenren line, and support the whole family.

Between the beloved and the family, Wen Renjing was once caught in a battle between heaven and man, and in the end it was Ruan Xiaomei who hugged Hoshino. He was so drunk that he cried and said that he was willing to go back with him, even if he couldn't be a regular wife.

In this way, he brought his beloved girl back to the imperial city and into the high courtyard, but he did not expect that from then on, he would step into a miserable life that could not be turned back.

The eldest daughter of Marquis Boyang was very arrogant, she looked down on Ruan Xiaomei, a "rough village woman" from head to toe, the two had one wife and one concubine, and conflicts were inevitable in daily life, Wen Renjing was caught in the middle, it was a dilemma, Unspeakable pain.

He could only persuade Ruan Xiaomei to bear it every time, but he had no choice but to bow his head under the eaves, not to mention that he was already the head of the Wenren family at that time?

He has too many responsibilities, he can no longer be like when he was young, drunk in the rivers and lakes, carefree and unrestrained, he can reach the sun, moon and stars with his hands, and kiss the lover of his dreams when he bows his head.

He hibernates, endures forbearance, revives the family little by little, and puts his youthful dreams and girls in his heart.

In this way, in the second year of his wedding, he welcomed his first child.

It's a pity that she was not born to Ruan Xiaomei. She was injured in the fight in the rivers and lakes, and the root cause of the disease was caused, so it was extremely difficult to conceive.

Therefore, after the eldest lady gave birth to four children in succession, her stomach didn't respond at all.

Wen Renjing couldn't see anything on his face, but he was eagerly looking forward to it in his heart. He dreamed of having a child of his own. Yes, in his opinion at that time, only the one born by Ruan Xiaomei was his real "child." ".

After exhausting all methods of recuperation, Ruan Xiaomei finally became pregnant, but the imperial doctor said that only this one is the only one, and she will definitely not be able to have it in the future.

During that period of time, Wen Renjing was like nothing but a soldier, wishing he could tie his beloved wife to his belt, lest she would be murdered.

The eldest lady looked at his caring and chaotic appearance with cold eyes, and didn't say a word, but took her four daughters back to Boyanghou's mansion temporarily, not seeing him for nothing.

Yes, perhaps God heard Wen Renjing's heartfelt voice, and the eldest lady gave birth to four daughters in succession, all of whom were daughters, without a single son.

Ruan Xiaomei, who was pregnant at that time, joked that if she gave birth to a son for Wen Renjing, she would be a great contributor to the continuation of Wen Renjing's family incense. He had to accompany her to ride a horse, and he was not allowed to lock her in the mansion anymore.

Wen Renjing naturally nodded vigorously, Xiaomei was right, Xiaomei said yes to everything, and Xiaomei would climb up to the roof to pick the moon if Xiaomei wanted it.

In fact, when Wen Renjing hugged Ruan Xiaomei in his arms, he sighed contentedly in his heart. He thought that even if it was a daughter, he would love him as much as before, because this was the child she gave birth to him, and it was their first. This child will be the only one, how could he not cherish it?
With such ardent anticipation, the child was finally born, but it was indeed a daughter. Wen Renjing felt a little disappointed in his heart, but was soon washed away by endless joy. He hugged the daughter born to Xiaomei, very excited, I am happier than the birth of the previous four children combined.

The eldest lady was also happy. She was taught by the words and deeds of noble women. She was always dignified and arrogant, and she was not happy. But when she looked at Ruan Xiaomei, she couldn't hide the smugness and happiness in her eyes.

Xu is that Wen Renjing is destined to be childless. After he got five thousand pieces of gold, he will have no more children. In short, Wenren's family still has other bloodlines, the big deal is to adopt a nephew to come over, and the roots will not be cut off. Besides, what's so good about being the head of the family, hasn't he tasted enough for so many years?
So in fact, Wen Renjun and Wen Renjing didn't have the heart of "no son" to vent their anger. Everyone in the house guessed wrong. He was just...too disappointed, right?

How to describe this secretive mood?He watched the youngest daughter grow up little by little. On the one hand, he hoped that she would inherit the family tradition, be dignified and polite in words and deeds, and feared that she would catch her mother's quack air and disciplined her very strictly. But when she grew up, he really When he was nothing like her mother, he began to feel disappointed in the bottom of his heart again.

This is a very contradictory, complicated and unspeakable mood.

Wen Renjun is so much like him, without any of Ruan Xiaomei's brilliance, she is a real girl from aristocratic family, well-educated, gentle and elegant, but like that... The rules are boring, and he really hates it indescribably in his heart. on, like hating yourself in the mirror.

He could tolerate the temperament of the other four daughters, but Wen Renjun couldn't, she was Xiaomei and his only child, how could she not give him any surprises?
Even Ruan Xiaomei's pair of heroic long eyebrows flying obliquely into her temples, she couldn't convey a little bit, yes, Ruan Xiaomei "behaves like her name", a pair of eyebrows are really well-grown, worthy of the title of "Mei Niang", it can be heard Renjun is not like her, with a pair of eyebrows like distant mountains, adding a bit of softness and docility, as clear as orchids, but it lacks the bright beauty of Ruan Xiaomei, who looks like a bully.

Not only that, the more Wen Renjing grew up, the more he found that this daughter was addicted to books, and she looked more and more like him. She was simply a "copy" of him. He was almost going crazy. Every time he saw Wen Renjing Sitting on the corridor, holding a book in his hand and not taking his eyes off it, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood inwardly, and spat in his heart: "Dead nerd!"

How can this be?Why did God treat him like this?It is impossible for him and Xiaomei to have other children. The only child is like this. What did he do wrong!
He has suppressed it all his life, but what he really loves is Xiaomei's bright and pungent temperament, even if he is trapped in a deep house and compound, he will not compromise at all, and his life is as moving as fireworks, unlike him, who is depressed, conservative, and obsessed with the responsibility on his shoulders I have been suppressed for a lifetime, and I can't express my true emotions.

And their only daughter wants to continue his "tragedy".

How much he looked forward to the arrival of this life, and then he was so disappointed in his heart, so disappointed... he would rather never have such a child.

The night wind was blowing, flapping the window lattice again and again, the candles in the room were flickering, and the warm smoke was lingering. In a long silence, Wen Renjing sat by the bed, his eyes lost.

In the end, it was the red shadow who spoke first, she wiped away tears, gritted her teeth as if she was determined, and said word by word: "Wen Renjing, let me tell you, if my daughter doesn't come back, neither will I." Live alone, think clearly!"

There was a deathly silence in the room, and after an unknown amount of time, Wen Renjing bent down, approached Ruan Xiaomei with a handsome face, stretched out his hand to gently wipe away her tears, sighed distressedly but helplessly, with a slightly hoarse voice:

"Xiaomei, don't cry, you cry until my heart breaks, I... will see His Majesty tomorrow."
