Jin Yi Kill

At night, Hong Wanqing was lying in bed alone, unable to sleep. After her husband left home for a year and a half and returned in victory, she was not the first to see him. Even if she sent someone to ask about Fu Tingzhou's whereabouts, she was scolded by Chen Shi, saying that she was ignorant and delayed the man's business.

But she is his wife.

Hong Wanqing couldn't sleep, staring at the acacia flowers on the bed, couldn't help thinking that all the generals were attending the banquet tonight, would he take the dancer back to sleep? Even the place in the south of the Yangtze River is full of fireworks and willow alleys. Will he keep the outer room in the past two years?

The more Hong Wanqing thought about it, the more troubled her heart became.

The next day, she got up early to dress up, even on the day she was married, she hadn't dressed herself so carefully. She fidgeted and waited until noon, when suddenly the maid came to report and said, "Madam, Lord Hou is back."

Hong Wanqing stood up with a snort, and hurriedly looked in the mirror to check her headdress: "Where has he gone, is he coming in?"

The maid paused, bowed her head and said, "Master Hou has gone to the old lady's courtyard to be safe."

Hong Wanqing hurried to Chen's house, and met sisters-in-law who also came to greet her on the way. Hong Wanqing's face was a little overwhelmed. The two groups of people entered the door together and heard the inside say: "...You are going to Gansu? You just came back, why are you leaving again?"

"This is what the emperor meant, and I will leave after the new year."

When Chen shi heard this, he became more anxious: "Why do you have to hurry, anyway, the first month of the month is at home."

Fu Tingzhou just said lightly: "The military order must not be violated."

Chen Shi sighed, the emperor said so, what can she do? At this time, Mrs. Chen saw Hong Wanqing and her daughters coming, and waved: "You all heard that, Lord Hou will go on an expedition soon. Let's talk to Lord Hou if you have anything to say now."

Hong Wanqing was struck by lightning when she heard that he was going to set off again after the new year. She followed the crowd and sat next to the Chen family, with a reluctant smile on her face, but she was thinking in her heart that it had been almost three years since she had passed the door, and she still has no children. Fu Tingzhou is going to leave Beijing again. I don't know when she will be back. Should she go with him?

However, Gansu is desolate and remote, and the wind and sand are strong. Hong Wanqing felt very unhappy at the thought of going to live in that kind of place. She had something in her heart, and she didn't want to interrupt when she listened to Chen's and others, but these people didn't know where they came from, they dragged Fu Tingzhou to talk non-stop, Hong Wanqing was forced to listen and sat like a fool It took her more than an hour to wait and she was very upset.

By the time I could finally get out, it was getting late. Fu Tingzhou went home after a year and a half, and he would definitely go back to the main room to sit. Hong Wanqing walked with him excitedly all the way, and after returning to the room, she hurriedly called the maid to serve tea and cakes to Fu Tingzhou, and sent everyone around.

In fact, Fu Tingzhou really wanted to tell her that there was no need for trouble, he just sat down and left. But seeing her so excited, he was not easy to speak. Fu Tingzhou could only drink tea with his head down, so he didn't have to talk. Hong Wanqing sat opposite him, thinking he liked the pot of tea, Fu Tingzhou immediately filled him up as soon as he put down the cup: "Master Hou, this is Lu'an tea this spring. , specially picked from Qiyun Mountain."

Fu Tingzhou snorted, and then slowly rotated the teacup, but he didn't say anything else. Hong Wanqing waited for a long time, trying to find a topic: "Why did the Marquis go to the Marquis of Wuding as soon as he left the palace yesterday, and he didn't say he went home to change his clothes. It's been a long time since I went to visit my uncle. Is his health okay?"

"Marquis Wuding is all right."

"Master Hou is going to Gansu? It's so far away, how long will it take?"

"Listen to the arrangement of the court."

There is no suspense at all whether a man wants to talk to you or not. If he wants to strike up a conversation, even with an iceberg beauty, he can always find a topic. If he doesn't want to pay attention, even if it's all talk, he can ignore it.

Hong Wanqing moved her mouth and couldn't answer any more. She originally wanted to use the topic of Gansu to slowly elicit whether she was accompanying her, but Fu Tingzhou didn't answer, what could she do?

Hong Wanqing said: "In any case, this month, Lord Hou stays at home and can always have a good rest. Lord Hou, the fourth sister of the first month is getting married, and I don't know if you can catch up. This is what I prepared for the fourth sister. Add makeup, let's see how it goes."

Hong Wanqing asked someone to take out a set of pure gold heads and faces from the makeup. Fu Tingzhou just glanced at it and nodded, saying, "You are their eldest sister-in-law, you can arrange it."

Speaking of jewelry, Hong Wanqing found a familiar topic and chatted endlessly: "It's almost the end of the year, there are many banquets in the capital, and the palace has to take place. A new jewelry store opened this year, and their family's tired silk and gold threads are pinched. It is even and thin, and the flowers and birds are beautiful. It is the only one in Beijing. Every time you come to a new style, you have to grab it to buy it. The fourth sister is young and a bride. I bought her a set of Butterfly Wearing Flowers. I left a set of phoenix and pearls. Unfortunately, the most beautiful set of gold inlaid jade was ordered by the Lu family..."

Fu Tingzhou listened indifferently until Hong Wanqing said that the Lu house also ordered a set of jewelry, and Fu Tingzhou finally raised his head and carefully looked at the craftsmanship of the jewelry.

The jewelry is indeed very delicate. The thin gold threads are woven into butterflies and petals. The layers are distinct and vivid. Even pure gold will not look tacky, and it is very overwhelming to look at the scene. Fu Tingzhou imagined what this gold jewelry would look like inlaid with jade. If you think about it, it should be very refined and expensive.

It would look good on her head.

Hong Wanqing was still complaining that she was the one who arrived first, and her deity was standing in front of her, but the servants of the Lu family took the lead and took the set of jewelry directly. Hong Wanqing's language was full of resentment, but Fu Tingzhou suddenly said, "Just give her a set of jewelry."

Hong Wanqing was originally complaining casually. After so long, she didn't care about it, but in retrospect it was still difficult to calm down. But Fu Tingzhou interrupted her impatiently and asked her to let Wang Yanqing bluntly.

As if Wang Yanqing used something better than Hong Wanqing, it was only natural.

Hong Wanqing was stunned. After regaining her senses, she could no longer control the grievances and anger that she had accumulated since yesterday. She lowered her face and said, "What do you mean, Lord Hou? I am your wife, Mrs. Zhenyuan Houfu, in your heart. Could it be better than an outsider?"

outsider. Hearing these words, Fu Tingzhou was extremely harsh, and his tone also turned cold: "You know that you are Mrs. Hou, but you still do such unreasonable things? What is the proper way to do it?"

"You say I'm making trouble without reason?" Hong Wanqing looked at him in disbelief, suddenly felt aggrieved, and tears rolled down her cheeks, "I talked to you when I was seventeen, but you first observe filial piety, and then follow the emperor. Southern tour, and then went to Datong Mansion. I waited for you for three years before I finally got the marriage certificate. Did I say anything? After you get married, you never set foot in the backyard, and go to wars all over the world. Filial piety for your parents-in-law and mother-in-law, and preparing for the marriages for the sisters-in-law. I have worked hard and never complained since I entered your Fu’s house. Now, just because of a set of jewelry, do you think I am making trouble without reason?”

Hong Wanqing couldn't stop crying as soon as she started to cry, and the grievances after marriage poured out like a flood. Fu Tingzhou looked at Hong Wanqing's tears and felt guilty, but only guilty.

He once thought that men were born unable to take a woman's tears. As long as Qingqing was a little unhappy, he would feel very distressed. When there were tears in her eyes, Fu Tingzhou's heart was pulled, and he would never do anything to make her cry thing. But now, Hong Wanqing is crying in front of him, but he finds that women are not beautiful when they cry, and no one will look good when their emotions are out of control.

He knew that he was sorry for Hong Wanqing, but guilt was not liking, and responsibility could not turn into love.

Fu Tingzhou sat silently across from him, got up after a while, and said, "Don't think nonsense, your Mrs. Hou has done a good job, and no one will shake your position in the future. Don't cry, just wipe your tears with a veil."

After saying that, he left.

Hong Wanqing felt that Fu Tingzhou turned around, was startled, and looked up in a hurry, but only had time to see his back when he lifted the curtain. Hong Wanqing sat blankly on the Arhat bed, unable to respond for a long time.

How could he be so cruel. She was wrong. There are so many beautiful couples in the world. Why does she feel that she can be an exception. As long as she occupies the position of his wife, she can have his feelings?

The order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, the one she married has always been the tablet of Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou! Family marriage, this marriage has always been between him and his father, uncle, and has nothing to do with her!

Hong Wanqing realized this and cried more and more tormented.

Word spread quickly in the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion that the Hou Ye returned from the expedition and sat in his wife Hong's house for less than a quarter of an hour, then turned around and came out again. After that, the wife cried for a long time in the room, and without inquiring, everyone knew that the Marquis and the wife had quarreled again.

The people in the Hou Mansion sighed, and no one dared to say anything. The quarrel was a bit loud this time, and somehow even the Marquis of Yongping, Mrs. Hou's parents' home, heard about it. Mrs. Yongping Hou came to the door and looked at her daughter worriedly: "I heard that you and Lord Hou had a fight over a piece of gold jewelry?"

Hong Wanqing let out a listless response. The root is not gold jewelry, but that's true. When Mrs. Yongping Hou heard this, she was really worried. She said and persuaded her. She really didn't understand how a good girl before marriage could become so worried after marriage.

Mrs. Yongping Hou's good words persuaded her. Seeing that Hong Wanqing didn't respond, she couldn't help but look up and said, "Don't take it seriously. Your father was very angry when he heard what you did. Is it the duty of a wife to be angry?"

"It's because of the jewelry!" Hong Wanqing was annoyed, but looking at her mother's eyes, she felt that she didn't need to say anything. Father and mother really don't know the crux, they know, but they don't care.

In their opinion, Hong Wanqing has married a good husband in the eyes of everyone. She is young and promising, has a bright future, and is handsome and brave. What else is she dissatisfied with? As for Fu Tingzhou's dislike of her, it's not a big problem, as long as it can be passed down from generation to generation.

Only Hong Wanqing knew how painful it was that her husband didn't like her. And her pain doesn't even understand her mother, she just thinks she's doing it.

Seeing that Hong Wanqing had calmed down, Mrs. Yongping Hou thought she had listened, and persuaded her in a soft tone: "Mother knows that you are high-spirited, but this is the case with all couples in the world. Why do you say newly married Yaner, because only the first three Moon husband and wife are harmonious. After the novelty passes, men will find new lovers. What you have to do is to subdue those women and let them know that you are the one who controls their lives, not to fight with them. Abruptly pushes people out."

Hong Wanqing was silent, and Mrs. Yongping Hou couldn't help sighing when she saw that her competitive daughter had become dull and gloomy after only a few years of marriage. Thinking of the purpose of her visit today, she squeezed Hong Wanqing's hand and said, "Son, love and love are all made up in a storybook to deceive people. It's the most important thing for husband and wife to live together."

Is love a lie? Then why did Lu Heng keep taking a concubine for Wang Yanqing's sake, and why did Fu Tingzhou still miss her for so many years?

Seeing Hong Wanqing, Mrs. Yongping lowered her eyes, fearing that she would get into trouble again, and interrupted: "Mother knows that you are bored, so I brought a few younger sisters to talk to you today, and you will call them in later to see who is the best. pleasing to the eye."

When Hong Wanqing heard this, she frowned and asked, "Who is the most pleasing to the eye? They don't stay in Fu's house. What do I think of this?"

Mrs. Yongping Hou watched her go silent, Hong Wanqing's heart thumped and her voice trembled: "Mother, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Yongping Hou sighed and told her directly: "This is the best solution after your father and brother have discussed it. Zhenyuan Hou will go to Gansu next year. He is filial to his parents-in-law and cannot leave easily. But he is full of vigor and blood, and it is impossible for him to have no women by his side. If he is gone for three or five years, I am afraid that there will be several concubines there. Instead of letting women who do not know the details enter the house, It is better to bring your concubine sister in to share the property of the Hou Mansion, to be with you, and to help your housekeeper."

Hong Wanqing's heart froze when she heard it: "Mother, what are you talking about? It's not like I can't give birth, how can I accept my sister as a concubine? It's a big deal, I'll go to Gansu and endure hardship there for a few years."

Mrs. Yongping Hou sighed. In fact, she couldn't bear to tell Hong Wanqing. The prince, who is also Hong Wanqing's brother, said that Fu Tingzhou hadn't gone to Hong Wanqing's room several times after three years of marriage. It can be seen that Fu Tingzhou I don't like Hong Wanqing at all. For men, if you don't like it, you don't like it. You don't have to expect a long-term relationship. It's better to find a new person as soon as possible.

Most of Hong Wanqing would not be able to give birth to the eldest son. For the alliance of the Fu Hong family, she could only choose another daughter from the Hong family.

Mrs. Yongping Hou didn't tell her daughter the truth, but said: "Farewell, filial piety is the most important thing. You are the eldest daughter-in-law, and your parents-in-law are still there. You will be ridiculed by others if you leave home without permission. It is better to let your concubine go to Gansu with her. My aunt is still in my hands, and I can't turn the water. When she gives birth to a son, you can take it over and raise it yourself, it's no different from your own son. "

Hong Wanqing understood, what his father and brother meant was that the eldest son of Zhenyuan Hou's mansion may not be born by Hong Wanqing, but must be a girl from the Hong family.

In other words, she was abandoned by the family.

Hong Wanqing was as cold as falling into an ice cave. She looked at her mother, her lips moved, she wanted to persuade her to take the person back, but she broke down knowing that her father and brother had already made a decision, and she just came to inform her today that her opinion was meaningless.

She used to be conceited about her family background, and looked down on the servant girl who served others, the peasant woman who was going to work in the fields, and even Wang Yanqing, who was a commoner. When her father and brother took back the fancy clothes and jewelry on her body, Hong Wanqing realized that she was actually worthless.

The girl who sells tofu can still know a craft, what does she know?

Mrs. Yongping Hou and Hong Wanqing screened everyone away and talked for a long time in the room. Hong Wanqing cried again, and finally resigned, and let people bring the concubines over.

These prostitutes obviously knew the purpose of today's visit, and they all dressed up beautifully and smiled to Hong Wanqing: "Hello, third sister."

The girl's voice was soft and beautiful, like a new shoot in March, but Hong Wanqing just wanted to sneer. She slowly swept over the group of people, and soon discovered that the dressing styles of these people were very similar.

Precisely speaking, it is very similar to a person.

Hong Wanqing didn't need to recall, she had already called out her name in her heart, Wang Yanqing.

Hong Wanqing suddenly sneered in her heart, and when she looked at these younger sisters who were younger and tenderer than her, she was not jealous at all, but instead filled with malicious joy. They thought that Fu Tingzhou liked the gentle and considerate one, but they didn't know that Fu Tingzhou just liked that person.

Just now, Mrs. Yongping Hou and Hong Wan had a close relationship, and Yongping Hou was more interested in Hong Liuliu. Hong Wanqing glanced at her sixth sister, with slender shoulders and slender waist, charming eyebrows and eyes, standing there really had a charming taste.

Hong Wanqing smiled secretly, thinking that it was useless. Miss Hong Liu looked like a little white flower, but her eyes were full of scheming, more like a dodder flower that can strangle people. Harmful feeling. Fu Tingzhou won't like her.

But Hong Wanqing didn't say anything, she smiled and stretched out her hand to Miss Hong Liu: "Six sisters are so beautiful, I'm bored in Hou's mansion, you stay and talk with me."

Miss Hong Liu's lips twitched quietly, and she looked shy and shy in an instant, and said softly, "Xie Sanjie."

·

In the afternoon, the sun was just right, Wang Yanqing leaned against the window, hummed a song softly, and coaxed his son to sleep. The sun was shining warmly on the person, Lu Xuan kicked his calf and fell asleep slowly, Wang Yanqing yawned and was a little sleepy.

When Lu Heng came back, she saw the sunlight shining through the window paper, illuminating the room brightly and warmly. She propped her forehead against the soft pillow. The shirt and red skirt are bathed in the sun, shining brightly.

There was a big red swaddle beside her, and inside it was a child like lotus root, who was slumbering with her small fists curled up at the moment.

Lu Heng stopped the maids from saluting and told them to retreat. The maid left lightly, and just as Lu Heng approached the Arhat bed, Wang Yanqing woke up with a start. She opened her eyes and looked in front of her, and found that Lu Heng relaxed his shoulders and lay back on the pillow lazily: "Why are you back?"

"There's nothing in the Governor's Mansion, so I'll go first." Lu Heng sat beside Wang Yanqing and set the pillow for her, making her lean on comfortably, "Is your waist still sore today?"

Wang Yanqing shook his head and said, "It's okay."

When Mrs Fan learned that Wang Yanqing was pregnant, she wrote to take care of them in the capital, but Lu Heng politely declined. Although Wang Yanqing was pregnant for the first time, there were experienced nanny and nanny in the Lu residence, so there was no need to make Fan shi go all the way.

I heard that the elder sister-in-law Chu also just gave birth to a daughter, and Lu Heng asked Fan to stay in Anlu with peace of mind to take care of the grandson for the elder brother and elder sister-in-law.

Lu Zhan was really inseparable, so Fan had to dismiss the idea of ​​going to Beijing after receiving the letter, but he wrote a long letter to warn Lu Heng women what to pay attention to in childbirth and how to take care of them during confinement. Every month after that, Mrs Fan would write a letter to warn him, but Lu Heng read it all without saying a word.

Even though Wang Yanqing has been abandoned for a long time, the foundation of martial arts is still there, and his body is much stronger than that of those Jiao young ladies who do not have a second door. But having a baby hurts her waist, and Wang Yanqing's waist itself is not good. Lu Heng won't let her sit for a long time. Even if it's been three months since her confinement, she still allows her to rely on her and lie down when she can.

Lu Heng passed over Wang Yanqing and gently teased Lu Xuan's hand. Wang Yanqing patted him angrily and warned, "Just fall asleep, don't wake him up, or he will wake up at night and make trouble again."

Lu Heng could only withdraw his hand regretfully. Without teasing his son, his wife would always be fine. Lu Heng put his hand on Wang Yanqing's waist and slowly kneaded the muscles behind her waist for her: "Qingqing, I heard an interesting story today."

"Ok?"

"The Marquis of Zhenyuan was transferred to the commander-in-chief of Gansu and left today."

Lu Heng's strength is moderate, and his waist is really comfortable. Wang Yanqing closed his eyes and waited for a while, making sure that Lu Heng had nothing else to say, and then replied lightly, "Oh."

Lu Heng looked down at her, the sun was shining on her face, making her skin fair and clear, with a golden light on the edges. She was wearing a homely jacket, with a lazy demeanor, black hair and snow-skinned skin, and leaning on the pillow easily reminded people of words like "time is quiet".

Lu Heng pressed his fingers unhurriedly and continued: "Not long after Zhenyuan Hou married, he and his wife were separated. I heard that Zhenyuan Hou's wife is very pure and filial. Hou took a concubine and went to Gansu to take care of Zhenyuan Hou."

Wang Yanqing raised her eyebrows secretly, opened her eyes, and looked directly at Lu Heng: "What do you want to say?"

Lu Heng smiled, leaned over to lie down with her, curled her hair and asked, "It's not uncommon for a wife to be filial and to bring a concubine to the post. The strange thing is that his new concubine is also named Hong."

Wang Yanqing frowned, and his eyes showed inconceivable: "This woman, shouldn't she be from Yongping Hou's mansion?"

"That's right." Lu Heng nodded, "It's the concubine of Marquis Yongping, that is, his wife and sister."

Wang Yanqing was silent for a long time without speaking, Lu Heng looked at her quietly and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"I think it's absurd." After Wang Yanqing finished speaking, he shook his head, "Forget it, Yongping Hou, Hong Wanqing and him all agree, what do I say."

Lu Heng looked at her calmly and asked, "You really have no idea?"

"Other people take concubines, what can I think?" Wang Yanqing glared at Lu Heng unceremoniously, and said, "Unlike some people, they always come to test me when they are full of bad water."

"Don't be angry." Lu Fu saw that the person was annoyed, and hugged her with a smile, "I just heard an interesting story, and I took it back and relieved the boredom with Madam."

"You are in the Governor's Mansion, are you trying to inquire about these romantic affairs?"

"That's more than that." Lu Heng said, "I know all about Feng Yueyan in the capital, and I also know which official's concubine and father-in-law cheated, and which scholarly family's young lady and servant were entangled. Sir, do you want to hear it?"

"I don't want to hear it." Wang Yanqing said angrily, "Is it possible that you learned all those messy things from here?"

Lu Heng shook his head seriously: "No. The postures used on you are all carefully collected from various books. I can't wait to take the initiative to clear the dirty things that I was forced to hear while performing my duties."

Wang Yanqing pursed her lips and didn't speak, she knew that as soon as this topic started, she would definitely be **** off in the end, and Lu Heng had nothing to do. Seeing her puffed up appearance, Lu Heng liked her very much, and gave her a heavy kiss on the face: "You are still so cute, just like when I first met you."

Wang Yanqing snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Forget it, when you first met me, what did you think about killing me?"

"How can you think of me so much?" Lu Heng said wrongly, as if he had suffered some great grievance, "Am I the kind of person who doesn't understand Lianxiangxiyu? If I didn't like you, how could I pretend to be your brother!"

You see, this kind of person can be said to be the truth, Wang Yanqing sneered: "So you pretended to be until I regained my memory and had to confess?"

"Qingqing, it's true that you can pretend to be for a lifetime." Lu Heng leaned his chin on top of her head and said softly, "I also hope that you are really my foster sister. We are childhood sweethearts, and the chief actor agreed to have a white head."

There was a touch of sentimentality in his voice, he had always been rational and cruel, this was the first time Wang Yanqing had seen him so emotional. Wang Yanqing was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand to hug his waist: "I have my son, what do you say?"

Lu Heng also smiled, and lowered his head to hug her: "Yeah, if the past is useless, the future is in your hands."

The two embraced each other quietly in the sun, with Lu Xuan lying on the side, kicking his legs for a while. Wang Yanqing smiled after seeing it: "This is something I dreamed about, and I feel uneasy when I fall asleep."

Lu Heng also smiled and stretched out his hand to pull up the blanket for Lu Xuan: "Maybe it's chasing something. He is very active at a young age, so he should be a seedling who practiced martial arts. The emperor asked again today, saying that when he grows up, Take it to the palace to read with the princes."

Wang Yanqing was startled when he heard it: "Which prince?"

"The emperor didn't say anything." Lu Heng patted Wang Yanqing on the back reassuringly, and said, "There are still several years, don't worry."

As the prince grew up, the matter of establishing the Chu Chu was brought to the fore. It is not a trivial matter to be a companion to the prince. If you choose the right side, this will be the emperor's cronies and the power of the dragon, such as Lu Heng and the emperor; if you don't choose the right side...

Wang Yanqing was worried, Lu Heng saw that he had ruined Wang Yanqing's good mood with an unintentional sentence, and regretted it in his heart, so he deliberately said some indecent words to distract her: "I remember when I first recognized you as my sister, I recited a lot. Black pot. At that time, your Yuexin came, and you fainted in pain. I asked Lang Zhong to come, but he thought I was your husband and scolded me. I was extremely aggrieved at the time, but fortunately later, I became your husband. , Otherwise, wouldn't I have lost a lot of money?"

This was a long time ago. Wang Yanqing had to think hard to think: "What happened to Lang Zhong?" PanPan

"What can I do? Naturally, I will send it out politely." Lu Heng sighed, "Who am I in your heart? Could it be that I can still do things like killing doctors? At that time, Lang Zhong also told me that women's physical Courage, if there is yang qi to dredge, it will not be so painful when the moon letter arrives."

Wang Yanqing didn't understand and asked subconsciously, "How to clear it?"

Lu Heng smiled lowly, looking down at her meaningfully: "What do you think?"

Wang Yanqing thought for a while, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she stopped asking. Looking back on it today, Lu Heng felt that the past was like a dream: "At that time, every step was an accident, how could we have imagined that we would have today? It seems that God also favors me, and I am afraid that I will be lonely in this life. Do everything possible to send me a wife."

Wang Yanqing didn't like to hear him talk about being lonely, so he stretched out his arms to hug him and said, "You have a deep relationship in this life. We have Xian'er, and we will have other children in the future."

Lu Heng squeezed her tightly and said in a low voice, "Okay."
