Chapter 11: Xianyi and angry horses tread the rivers and lakes
The cold moon was hanging high, and under the same clear light, the Duke of Fengguo's mansion was much more lively. Before, she was like Madam Mei, and all the guards in the mansion were dispatched. The man was intercepted, but in a mess, a little guard who was not open-eyed pulled a bow and crossbow, and accidentally injured Madam Mei, and asked her to fall off the wall. Duke Feng's face turned pale.
"My Madam Mei, does your legs still hurt? I've driven out of the mansion that hurts you. Don't be angry anymore, okay..."
The candlelight in the room was swaying, and Duke Feng was dressed in gorgeous clothes, his handsome and elegant face was full of flattery, sitting by the bed, lying down as a small person, which was completely different from the head of the family who slapped in public outside and was so serious that he was completely different from the majestic head of the family.
However, the red shadow on the bed did not give any face at all, and turned his back to him coldly without saying a word. However, the Duke of Feng was so shameless, and he still smiled and went up to coax the child:
"My Madam, would you tell you a joke for your husband?"
"Once upon a time, there was a pretty lady who was good at dancing with sword skills. She was not good at writing but was not good at writing. One day, a guest came to the mansion. It was the prime minister who brought a few sons to the banquet. As soon as he entered the door, he greeted him: 'I brought my youngest son to congratulate you.' The pretty lady heard it in the inner room and happily came out to welcome the guests: 'Come here, what kind of grapefruit is brought?'"
Speaking of this, Duke Feng couldn't help but laughed out loud, as if he was thinking more and more happy. He couldn't help but pat on the red shadow on the bed, "My Madam, are you funny?"
The red shadow finally couldn't help but sat up, and trembled with anger: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm a vulgar and uneducated man in the martial arts world. I'm making jokes every day and can't stand you, Duke Fengguo Mansion. I can leave now, you don't have to sarcasticize anymore!"
Duke Feng hit a hard nail and stopped laughing in a hurry: "I definitely didn't sarcasticize my wife. I really think that the wife is so cute that I can't help laughing whenever I think of it. My love for the wife becomes more and more renewed..."
"Bah, Wen Renjing, is it interesting that you are so hypocritical? I feel disgusting, get out, I don't want to see you again!"
Ruan Xiaomei on the bed became more and more angry. She reached out and wanted to push Duke Feng out of the bed. The shameless man grabbed her hand tightly and arched forward with a flattering look: "Don't do this, I'm really worried about you, good Meiniang..."
Ruan Xiaomei pulled out her hand and wanted to slap Wen Renjing's face, but hesitated for a moment. Wen Renjing quickly shouted: "Xiao Mei!"
The hand stopped in the air.
After a long time, Ruan Xiaomei's eyes turned red and she slapped herself in anger: "What kind of evil am I doing?"
Wen Renjing's face changed drastically. He stepped forward and hugged Ruan Xiaomei. He wanted to see the red marks on her face with heartache, but was pushed away again. Ruan Xiaomei pointed at him and asked sternly:
"Wen Renjing, I ask you, why have you never liked A Jun since you were a child? I really can't figure it out, isn't she our daughter? Just because she was not born by the eldest lady, is she a concubine?"
Wen Renjing waved his hand in a panic: "No, no, Xiaomei, you know, I love you the most, how could I not like our daughter, me, I..."
He was speechless for a long time, but he couldn't say what it was. Just like countless times in the past, Ruan Xiaomei was completely discouraged. He no longer wanted to look at this gentle and hypocritical face, pulled up the quilt and lay down on the bed, and carried it over, gritted his teeth and shed tears silently.
"Xiaomei, I am really..."
Wen Renjing felt heartbroken when he saw her like this, but he was really... unable to say it.
How should we express that complex emotion? Wen Renjing felt that if he said it, no one would believe it, and even himself felt it was ridiculous-
He really doesn't like Wenrenjun, but it's not because she was not born by the eldest lady, but because she was born by Ruan Xiaomei, and she and his only child.
No one knows how deeply he loves his "Mrs. Mei" and deeply loves the bright and cheerful girl who once held a horse under the willow tree, holding a scimitar in her arms and eyes, smiling with her eyebrows and eyes curled up.
It is clearly called "Ruan Xiaomei", but she should be a soft and sweet little girl, gentle and dignified, just like countless women from aristocratic families he had seen, but she had nothing to do with gentleness. She was so bright and fierce, like fire, even brighter than the red glow in the sky.
That spring, Wen Renjing went out to study and saw Ruan Xiaomei for the first time under the willow tree. From then on, his soul fell into a gorgeous dream, his clothes and horses were full of energy, and he could no longer wake up.
He was a scholar, or in other words, the entire family was a typical noble literati. Before meeting Ruan Xiaomei, he always thought that he would marry a wife with a good family and knowledgeable knowledge.
But if life is seen to the end without any surprises, it will not be called life.
In fact, Wen Renjing liked this accident very much.
He followed her to travel around the world for a while, experiencing countless things he had never dared to think about before, and finally held her hand, worshiped the world among the clear mountains and rivers, and became a husband and wife.
Unfortunately, the hearty dream came to an abrupt end.
He was found by the people in his family. At that time, Wenren's family had an accident and had to find him back to the imperial city and take on his own responsibilities.
What responsibility?
He got married and married the eldest daughter of the Boyang Hou family, kept the shaky Wenren lineage, and supported the entire family.
Between the love and the family, Wen Renjing was once in a battle between heaven and man. In the end, Ruan Xiaomei 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 become a wife, he would recognize him.
In this way, he brought the girl he loved back to the imperial city and into the high gate courtyard, but unexpectedly, he would have entered a sad life that could not be returned from now on.
The eldest daughter of Boyang Hou was very arrogant and looked down on Ruan Xiaomei, a "brutal country woman". The two had one wife and one concubine, and they were inevitably inseparable from various conflicts on weekdays. Wen Renjing was stuck in the middle, and it was so dilemma and painful.
Every time he could only persuade Ruan Xiaomei to endure it. There was no way. He had to bow his head under the roof, let alone he was already the head of Wenren's family at that time?
He has too many responsibilities. He can no longer be like when he was young, he was drunk and carefree, and he could reach the sun, moon and stars with his hands, and he could kiss his lover in his dream by bowing his head.
He lies dormant, endures, and revives Wen's family bit by bit, and puts his youthful dreams and girls into his heart.
In this way, in the second year of his wedding, he welcomed his first child.
Unfortunately, it was not born by Ruan Xiaomei. She had injured her body and fell into the root of the disease. It was extremely difficult to get pregnant during the fight in the world.
Therefore, after the eldest lady gave birth to four children in succession, her stomach did not react at all.
Wen Renjing couldn't see anything on his face, but he was eagerly looking forward to it. He dreamed of having his own child. Yes, in his opinion at that time, only Ruan Xiaomei gave birth to his real "child".
After trying all the ways to recuperate, Ruan Xiaomei finally got pregnant, but the imperial doctor said that only this baby would never give birth in the future.
During that period, Wen Renjing was like a soldier, and he wanted to tie his beloved wife to his belt, for fear that she would be harmed.
The eldest lady looked coldly at his careless look, and did not say a word, but took her four daughters to temporarily return to Boyang Hou Mansion, without seeing her.
Yes, maybe God heard Wen Renjing's voice and the eldest lady gave birth to four consecutive daughters, all of whom were daughters and none of them.
Ruan Xiaomei, who was pregnant at that time, also joked that if she gave birth to a son for Wen Renjing, she would be a great hero who continued the incense of Wen Renjia. He would have to accompany her to ride a horse and not be locked up in the mansion anymore.
Wen Renjing naturally nodded. Xiaomei was right. Xiaomei agreed to whatever she said. Xiaomei wanted the moon in the sky to climb up to the roof to pick it.
In fact, Wen Renjing sighed with satisfaction when he hugged Ruan Xiaomei in his arms. He thought that even if he was a daughter, he would love Ruchu, because these were the children she gave birth to him, their first and only ones, how could he not cherish them?
With such ardent expectations, the child was finally born, but it was indeed a daughter. Wen Renjing felt a little disappointed, but was quickly washed away by endless joy. He picked up the daughter born to Xiaomei, excited, and happier than the birth of the previous four children.
Also happy was the eldest lady. She was taught by the words and deeds of a noble woman. She was always dignified and arrogant and did not like to show off her expression. However, when she came to see Ruan Xiaomei, the smugness and gratitude in her eyes could not be concealed.
Perhaps Wen Renjing was destined to have no son. After he got five daughters, he had no children. Ruan Xiaomei could not have children, and the eldest lady never got pregnant. Wen Renjing himself did not have the desire to force him about the male matter. In short, Wen Ren also has bloodlines next to him. At worst, he would not have to adopt a son and nephew and would not have broken roots. Besides, what's the point of being the head of the family? Has he not tasted enough for so many years?
So in fact, Wen Renjun and Wen Renjing did not have the desire to vent his anger as "childless". Everyone in the mansion guessed wrongly. He was just... too disappointed, right?
How can we describe this secret mood? He watched the youngest daughter grow up little by little. On the one hand, he hoped that she would inherit her family tradition, behave dignified and politely, and was afraid that she would become her mother's spirit and discipline her very strictly. But when she grew up and was really not like her mother at all, he began to feel disappointed in his heart again.
This is a very contradictory and complex mood.
Wen Renjun is so much like him. He doesn't have the brightness and stinginess of Ruan Xiaomei. He is a real girl from a noble family. He is well-educated, gentle and delicate, but that... the rules are boring. He really hates him in his heart. In a sense, he hates himself in the mirror.
He could tolerate the other four daughters being so arrogant, but Wen Renjun couldn't do it. She was Xiaomei and his only child. How could she not give him any surprises?
Even Ruan Xiaomei's pair of heroic long eyebrows that flew into her temples, she couldn't convey anything. Yes, Ruan Xiaomei was "as her name" and her eyebrows were really wonderful, and she lived up to the name of "My Girl". But Wenrenjun was not like her. Her eyebrows like a distant mountain added a bit of softness and docileness, and were as pure as orchids, but she lost the brightness of Ruan Xiaomei, and she looked easy to bully.
Not only that, the older he grew, the more he realized that this daughter was addicted to books and was more and more like him. She was simply a "replica" of him. He was almost crazy. Every time he saw Wen Renjun sitting on the corridor, holding the book in his hand and his eyes were still in a flash, he would secretly be so angry that he vomited blood. He despised him fiercely in his heart: "Damn nerd!"
How can this be done? Why did God treat him like this? He and Xiaomei can't have any other children. The only child is like this. What did he do wrong!
He suppressed all his life, and what he really loved was Xiaomei's bright and bold personality. Even if he was trapped in a deep mansion, he would not lose any loss. He lived like a firework. Unlike him, he was depressed and conservative, and was suppressed by the responsibilities on his shoulders for a lifetime. He could not express his true joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.
And their only daughter actually wanted to continue his "tragedy".
How much I had hoped for the arrival of this life, how disappointed he was in his heart, so disappointed... I would rather not have such a child.
The night wind rustled, slapped the window lattice one after another, the candlelight in the house swayed and the warm smoke swayed. In a long silence, Wen Renjing sat by the bed, his eyes were lost.
After all, the red shadow spoke first. She burst into tears and gritted her teeth as if she was determined, saying "Wen Renjing, I tell you that if my daughter can't come back, I won't live alone. Think clearly!"
The room was as quiet as death. It took Wen Renjing to lean down, his handsome face approached Ruan Xiaomei, and reached out to wipe away her tears gently. He sighed with pain and helplessness, his voice was a little hoarse:
Chapter completed!
