little wife

Chapter 104

It was a picture of characters, which was torn into four or five pieces, but was carefully flattened and framed. Each stroke was wild and powerful, as graceful as floating clouds, as shocking as a dragon. Calligraphy sought after by poets.

After a closer look, the words written on it were not the poems of the great talent Zou, but a long and eloquent letter of repentance, which Zou Zelin was forced to write after a few months of procrastination after losing the chess game that day.

Yu Huiyao's face turned red, and she rushed forward subconsciously, grabbed the word in his hand and shouted angrily: "You are a dignified fifth-rank official, military supervisor, and you sneaked into a woman's room." In the boudoir, are you not afraid of being impeached if you spread the word? Let go..."

Zou Zelin refused to let go: "Didn't you say that you have already torn into pieces and thrown away? How did you hide it so well? Huiyao, don't lie to me anymore, you clearly have me in your heart!"

Yu Huiyao became anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about! Hasn't this been torn up? I just kept it as a souvenir. You think there is no one else in the world who can beat you, the number one talented man, and let him write a letter of repentance." ? Can I keep it and brag later?"

"I'll let you brag for the rest of your life, and you can brag as much as you like." Zou Zelin stopped grabbing the words, and grabbed Yu Huiyao's hand. witness!"

Ning Luo was a little confused, she looked left and right and tried to persuade her: "Zelin, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly..."

"Can I not be in a hurry?" Zou Zelin was also impatient, his pale face flushed suddenly after being drunk last night, "She is going to marry herself to that Zhao or something, I tell you Yu Huiyao, if you dare to do this , don’t blame me for being rude, it’s a piece of cake for me to charge him with any crime!”

"You are simply unreasonable!" Yu Huiyao was trembling with anger, "I don't want to talk to you, you get out, this is my house, go to your official office and show your power."

"You want to drive me away?" Zou Zelin said incredulously, "You are so ruthless, you want to drive me away because of that simple-minded man with strong limbs?"

Yu Huiyao said without hesitation: "What kind of friendship is there between you and me! Even if he is simple-minded, he is a hundred times stronger than a smooth-talking, flirtatious man like you!"

Suddenly there was no sound in the room.

Zou Zelin stared at her with blood in his eyes. Yu Huiyao knew she had made a slip of the tongue, but stubbornly stared back without saying a word.

Ning Luo groaned secretly in her heart, and quickly smoothed things over: "Everyone, don't say a word, Zelin, brother Zhao is not what you think, he is nice; Huiyao, you can't say that about Zelin, he treats you very well." It's..."

"Smart words, flirtatious, very good." Zou Zelin repeated, with a sad smile, "So I am such a person in your heart, it's useless for me to wait for your news every day in the capital for the past two years, and it's useless for me to disregard life and death for thousands of miles I ran all the way to Luping City to see you."

Yu Huiyao clenched her lips, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes.

All the fierce aura just now disappeared without a trace, and Zou Zelin's whole body was filled with a sense of decadence, he staggered back two steps, and murmured: "I'm leaving, you all take care..."

He stumbled all the way, and when he walked out of the room, he tripped over the threshold, Yu Huiyao let out a helpless "ah", but watched his back disappear outside the courtyard door.

Ning Luo sighed leisurely: "Ask how many infatuations in the world have been wasted."

Yu Huiyao squatted down slowly, picked up the framed repentance book on the ground, and shed a tear, dizzying the vigorous strokes.

"Sister Luo...what do you want me to do?" Her voice was filled with despair, "Let a son of the Taifu, a prosperous official, and the number one talented person in the capital marry me, a lonely and helpless criminal minister. female?"

"If your two hearts are in harmony, why not?" Ning Luo stared at her and said, "Huiyao, life is not exactly the same as a chess game. You don't need to think carefully about every step and have no regrets when you start. If you take one step and think ten steps , how can there be so many happy things. As long as you are happy, it is good to have a clear heart. Even if you die in the future, at least, you have had a good life, and it is not a waste of time to come to this world .”

Yu Huiyao stayed for a while, then finally stood up, carefully put the book of repentance into the cabinet, forced a smile and said: "Okay, this is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk, let's not talk about these unhappy things Come on, tell me where have you been these days?"

She helped Ning Luo to sit down in the outer hall, cooked tea and served some snacks, the war has been turbulent for several months, this chess room has already become a place of fame, the former chess boys don't know where they went, Yu Fengdong's If she dies in the line of duty, I'm afraid her livelihood will become more difficult in the future.

Ning Luo sighed in her heart, but she stopped mentioning these sad things, and briefly talked about what happened to her these days. Wei Si was too shocking, so she just said that she was sent out of the city by Jing Yun to avoid disaster , and later encountered Northern Zhou soldiers, was rescued by an old friend, and was sent back to the city when the situation stabilized.

It was obvious that Yu Huiyao's mind was not in the right place, she couldn't answer the questions correctly several times, her eyes fell out of the window erratically, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Ning Luo then talked about some things she heard from Jing Yun, how Zou Zelin fought against the ancestors and elders of the family, and has not been engaged until now; The opportunity to supervise the army in the northwest; how dangerous he is for a literati in the war...

"Sister-in-law Wu," the courtyard door was pushed open, and Zhao Baoqing walked in excitedly, holding a slaughtered chicken in his hand, "I caught a pheasant outside the city, which is just for Huiyao's body." .”

Ning Luo remained silent. This young man who has experienced life and death on the battlefield also has the right to start a family and start a career, and maybe he can bring Yu Huiyao a more stable and peaceful life.

Aunt Wu responded and walked out. Obviously, her prejudice against this young man had been eliminated, and instead she said a few words enthusiastically, asking him to come over for dinner at night.

Zhao Baoqing handed the chicken to Mrs. Wu, hesitantly took two steps inside, and scratched his head at Yu Huiyao: "This... that Mr. Zou came to see me just now..."

Yu Huiyao was startled, stood up abruptly, and said angrily and anxiously: "What is he doing to you? He is really lawless, don't worry, I will go to your governor and let him decide for you—"

"No, no, no," Zhao Baoqing waved his hands again and again, "He didn't do anything to me, he just said that he would let me take good care of you in the future, saying that you are stubborn and sharp-tongued, and sometimes you can make people vomit blood when you are angry, which makes me very angry. Be more accommodating..."

Yu Huiyao's face turned pale: "What is he talking to you about..."

"I don't know," Zhao Baoqing asked cautiously, also a little confused, "You two...haven't made it clear yet?"

Yu Huiyao glanced at Ning Luo nervously, then shook her head quickly.

"I see...he seems to really care about you," Zhao Baoqing hesitated for a moment and said, "How about... tell him the truth? Why do I feel so sorry..."

Ning Luo looked at the two of them in astonishment, and suddenly recalled: "You two... What are you hiding from us?"

It was almost at Youzheng when we returned to Dudu Mansion, and Jing Yun had already returned, standing in front of the mansion gate looking forward to it, when he saw the carriage, he rushed up with an umbrella, and blamed: "Why did you come back so late? "

The corners of Ning Luo's mouth were smiling, and his eyes were bright, apparently in a good mood: "I lost track of time chatting with Huiyao, and drank a bowl of very nutritious pheasant soup, and I didn't feel hungry."

But Jing Yun looked depressed: "Be careful in the future, the autumn here is very cold, and you need to bring more clothes when you go out in the future."

Following Zijing who was waiting at the door, she had already put on a cloak for Ning Luo, Jing Yun clamped the umbrella around her neck, tightened the hem of the cloak on her stomach, and tied the belt with her own hands.

When I arrived at the flower hall, I ordered someone to pass on the meal. A steaming bowl of Cordyceps and Old Duck Casserole was placed in the middle, stewed pork knuckles with soybeans, angelica red dates, and stewed eggs with shrimp skin. In just one day, Jing Yun brought in a lot of ingredients. There was a full table set up.

"Are you going to feed me into a pig?" Ning Luo laughed.

"My mother-in-law has sent a letter," Jing Yun said seriously, "I have given you instructions on everything from basic necessities of life, to food, housing, and transportation, and I just followed suit. Also, if you don't write a letter back with your own hands, I'm afraid that father-in-law and mother-in-law will rush over from the capital." gone."

After Ning Luo's disappearance, Jing Yun suppressed all the news, and wrote several family letters to Duke Ning's family. Ning Zhenchuan and Qin Xianglan may have already become suspicious.

Ning Luo became anxious as soon as she heard it, and went into the study after dinner, Jing Yun rubbed the ink for her, she held the wolf brush in her hand, the full of admiration turned into the ink in her hand, and wrote a few words eloquently. Page.

After reading it through, Ning Luo couldn't help but want to laugh: In addition to writing about her recent situation, the whole article is almost talking about how good Jing Yun treats her, so they don't have to worry about it. Fortunately, it was in front of her parents. Otherwise, he would have been teased by others, Marquis Dingyun was afraid of his wife like a tiger, and indulged in the gentleness of the country, which is not what a real man did.

"Just make fun of it. Anyway, the capital already knew that there was a Hedong lion in my family." Jing Yun kissed her hair, nonchalantly.

Ever since Ning Luo came back, it may be that these days are frightening. At home, Jing Yun especially likes to kiss and hug, and he doesn't want to let Ning Luo out of his sight. Even if he goes to the military camp, he will send someone to check on Ning Luo every other hour Is Luo okay?

The two lingered for a while, then wrote a family letter to Ding Yunhou's mansion, and went all the way to the bedroom to rest. As soon as they arrived at the door of the bedroom, suddenly a guard hurried over. Embarrassed, she moved to Jing Yun's ear and said a few words.

Jing Yun frowned, and said coldly: "Send her unconscious and send her back to the post. I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to her father."

"This..." The guard hesitated for a moment and didn't know what to do.

"Where's Li Chenglin? Let him do it. If he can't do it well, he will lead the army." Jing Yun said solemnly.

"Yes!" The guard responded energetically and went away.

Ning Luo asked curiously: "Who is it? Why are you still knocked out?"

Jing Yun didn't make a sound, just took her shoulders and walked forward.

Ning Luo took two steps, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in her mind: "Are you from Xirong?"

Jing Yun froze, and nodded reluctantly.

"Female?" Ning Luo asked again.

Jing Yun said in a deep voice: "It's Jiang Duo, the daughter of the leader of the Rong Rong, drinking and having fun in Lu Ping Restaurant by herself. Li Chenglin will take care of it, don't worry."

Ning Luo's face became weird, and it took a while before he said, "I want you to drink and have fun with me?"
