Chapter 63 The pillowcase is wet
...
The young hero returns home at night.
The stars light the way.
Frogs and insects accompany the music.
The two finally said goodbye to that small courtyard.
The courtyard where a corner of the earth wall collapsed, where a table had its legs replaced, and where the young man proudly said he had a well.
The courtyard with only four bungalows.
The courtyard where you have to use bowls to catch the leaking rain when it rains heavily, and be careful of tiles flying away when it is windy.
The courtyard with two trees in front of the door.
It was late, and the sky did not keep guests.
They finally returned and had to say goodbye.
Because they had to hurry on the road tomorrow morning.
But Meng Shaoxia's horse would not move no matter how they dragged it or carried it away.
It was very embarrassing.
Meng Shaoxia wondered if the horse had secretly seen his feelings. The
horse was more sensible than he was.
So he rode the guard's horse and left.
The young knights returned at night, accompanied by the silent guards.
The two originally liked this kind of weather. When they were rushing on the road and it got dark, they would both be a little excited.
They talked loudly and sometimes Meng Shaoxia would playfully talk about some unspeakable cases that should not be heard at night.
He Chen was terrified and excited when he heard
it. But there was nothing to say tonight.
Maybe there was too much he wanted to say and he didn't know how to start.
When he came, he felt that the road was long and the deep village was winding.
But when he left, he felt that he was walking too fast. After a while, the small courtyard behind him disappeared and disappeared into the darkness.
The two arrived at the county town. There was no curfew, and there were people selling snacks on the roadside shouting.
Passing by that street, he could hear the laughter of the girl.
He smelled the fragrance of watercolor.
The faces of the two young men were unusually serious.
When they arrived at the inn, they saw the gifts sent by the Jiang family.
Knowing that they would be leaving tomorrow, the Jiang family thoughtfully prepared a lot of things for them.
Not to mention food and drink.
There are thick cloaks to prevent the weather from changing.
There are gorgeous felt blankets in case they need to sleep outdoors.
There are local specialties of Ming County, medicinal materials, and porcelain, all of which are presentable and can be given as gifts. There are
also sachets prepared by Miss Wan'er, which are said to repel mosquitoes and refresh the mind.
There are bracelets prepared by the old lady for their elders, which were blessed by the master of Qingyuan Temple.
There are many, many things.
There is half a room full of things.
Full of sincerity.
Incredibly thoughtful.
Both of them were silent.
In the morning, they went to visit the Jiang Mansion.
Lord Jiang is elegant, cheerful, and capable of both literature and martial arts.
Madam Jiang is gorgeous and beautiful.
Madam Jiang has a Buddhist nature and an elegant temperament.
Miss Jiang Wan is brilliant in writing, knowledgeable, and beautiful.
Jiang Rong is fat and rich.
The Jiang family is well-off and their home is well-organized, which makes a very good impression on them. They
even developed a preconceived aversion to the youngest son of the Jiang family, whom they had never met.
He is unfilial, disrespectful and unsupportive of his grandparents and parents, and gets married for fun during the mourning period. He is
unfraternal, unfriendly to his brothers and sisters, and harms his brothers and sisters and does unforgivable things.
With such a reputation, he must have done something extremely treasonous.
Fortunately, Meng Shaoxia's family does not have such a person, but he has an uncle who manages the security of the capital, and there are all kinds of strange cases. The evil of human nature is beyond imagination.
He Chen's family is complicated. There are indeed unfilial children and grandchildren, and some have been expelled from their homes.
But, but all this.
In contrast to Jiang Feng's mud-walled tiled house, it looked ridiculous.
Even the generous gift in front of them seemed hypocritical.
They were not children, nor were they fools. They had read books, seen the world, and understood reason.
They believed what they saw.
They saw Jiang Feng proudly saying that his family was good because there was a well. He did not complain about how difficult the mountain road was, how dilapidated the yard was, or how difficult life was.
He just smiled and said that his family had a well, so he didn't have to go far to fetch water, and it was very convenient to wash.
They saw Jiang Yu secretly sweeping away the pastry crumbs on the table, holding them in his hands, and quietly pouring them into his mouth to eat them. They all saw it. It was not elegant and not well-educated.
They saw Jiang Yu's lady's room, with a red rope hanging on the wall.
He saw Jiang's father working under the stars and coming home, covered in dust, holding his child and smiling tenderly.
He saw Jiang's mother carrying a basket, sweating profusely, returning home in the sunset.
He saw that they were suffering, but all of them were smiling.
He sighed that the snacks were delicious and felt happy for the rich dinner.
When He Chen first read the poem written by Brother Jiang, he was a little unbelievable and even had some doubts in his heart.
This poem is too sad.
The young man always greeted people with a smile.
He didn't believe that he understood this kind of suffering.
But now he understands, he understands why he didn't directly agree to follow him to Qingzhou, because if he is unfilial, his descendants will not be able to take the imperial examinations.
They even thought that Jiang Feng and that group of playboys really saved his sister by accident that day. They were just robbing and were tricked out of the city to rob, and the targets of the robbery were the two of them.
But they couldn't dislike it at all.
A mouth full of poetry, books, benevolence and righteousness, a belly full of classics, but not as good as a pot of wild vegetable soup.
The rice they couldn't swallow was the rare fine grain they had to eat, the grain they had to borrow and charge interest.
Because they were entertaining guests, everyone had a bowl.
Jiang Xiaoyu ate so seriously and carefully, afraid that a grain of rice would be wasted if she accidentally dropped it.
Meng Shaoxia and He Chen looked at the pile of gifts in front of them and remained silent.
The servants asked how to deal with it?
The two were also silent.
Such a thoughtful thought made them feel even more uncomfortable.
If they had not met Jiang Feng and did not know his family, they might have been happy to accept it and had a very good impression of them.
After all, it is rare to still retain their character even when they are so destitute.
But when I saw Jiang Feng's family, I knew what true desolation was and what was rare. There
was a voice in He Chen's heart that kept saying that these were the elders' problems and had nothing to do with Miss Jiang Wan. Miss Jiang Wan was generous and kind.
But there was no way to escape it.
Miss Jiang Wan was gentle and polite to a maid, and her cousin was dressed worse than her maid.
It was late at night. They
had to hurry tomorrow.
They should have rested early.
The two young BMW heroes who were born with a golden key in their mouths both suffered from insomnia.
Meng Shaoxia had a dream that he stood up for justice and saved a girl who was being chased and beaten in the city. It was said that the girl had hurt their young master. The girl was beaten badly and her head was bleeding.
But her eyes were like a wolfhound, very fierce.
He saved her, and the girl had been unconscious, so he did not ask Brother He to help with her placement, but took her with him.
When the girl woke up, she didn't know her name or who she was. The girl was like a child and didn't remember anything.
So he took her with him and taught her.
She was a greedy woman who wanted to eat everything. She was a little brainless and always spoke in a tactful way.
But every time he saw her eating and heard her talking, he wanted to laugh and felt happy.
He also sent people to the capital to inquire, but because of the chaos and war, he never found the family that bought her.
But she was sold as a maid, so she couldn't be from a famous family.
Seeing that he liked her, his mother agreed to let him take her as a concubine.
She was very happy, but she was still greedy and her words were always difficult to respond to.
But at that time, he had made great achievements in the war and became a general who stabilized the country. Others praised him for his bravery, but in fact, every time he went to the battlefield, he just hoped that he could go home quickly and bring her delicious food.
He was worried about her, because she always spoke without thinking and always offended people. He was worried that he would die in battle and she would not live well without him to protect her.
Later, he wanted to arrange a marriage, and the target was the niece of the current queen.
It was also the new emperor who tried to influence his family and was suspicious of his family's control of the military power.
That day, she suddenly came back and cried loudly.
She said that she saw the target of his marriage proposal, she said that she remembered, she said that she no longer had parents, she said that if there was an afterlife, she hoped that she would not go to the capital, and she hoped to die in front of her parents.
The next day.
She hanged herself in the house.
He went to arrange a marriage.
He negotiated the marriage, with three matchmakers and six betrothals.
...
The rooster crowed.
Meng Shaoxia woke up.
His face was covered with tears, and the pillowcase was wet.
