Chapter 205 A knife, a person, and a wheat plant
Back to Yuwen Mansion, it was getting late.
When Shang Ruyi got off the carriage, she was still a little stiff and numb. She staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Tusheer and Wuxue, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, rushed forward to help her. , Tu Sheer is eager He asked: "Miss, you are finally back, are you okay?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi glanced at her, said nothing and just shook his head. When he looked back, The coachman had already driven away.
On the long street, there were only the distant sounds of horse hooves and wheels, and the cold wind mixed with broken snow that hit her face, making her limbs cold and her thoughts stagnant.
Tusher noticed a strange aura, looked at Shang Ruyi again, and said, "Miss, why does your face look so ugly?"
Shang Ruyi looked back again. She looked at Wuxue again, steeled herself and squeezed Showing a little smile: "I'm fine. Is there nothing going on at home?"
"It's fine,"
Tusheer said: "It's just that, miss, you've been here all day, We are all worried to death, afraid that——"
At this point, she stopped again.
Shang Ruyi also knew that the last time he entered the palace, everyone was worried. This time, they must have been worried all day long, so he reluctantly comforted them with a few words, and then led them in together. The door.
As soon as she reached the atrium, she suddenly thought of something, stopped and asked, "Where is the third brother?"
Wuxue said hurriedly: "The third young master has come back from school. In the room.”
“When did you come back?”
"As usual, Shen Zheng will be back soon."
Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "I'll go over and see him."
So, she walked up the corridor and walked east Go, next to the east courtyard where Guan Yunmu lived before, is Yu Wencheng's residence. This courtyard is relatively small, the rooms are not big, and there are few exquisite and gorgeous furnishings inside. Because Sheng Guogong teaches his children to be diligent and thrifty, he does not let his children live a life of arrogance and luxury.
However, after Yu Wenyuan and Yu Wenye left Dongdu, Yu Wencheng immediately had him put on a high bed with soft pillows, and the heater in the room was doubled. At this moment, he opened the door and went in , the room was warm, there were several plates of snacks on the table, but they didn't move much, while Yu Wencheng was lying on the bed with one leg crossed, holding a dagger in his hand and playing with it.
Seeing this situation, Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.
As the second sister-in-law, and she had not been together for a long time, she could not control Yuwen Cheng's life as strictly as her father-in-law, so she could only turn a blind eye to some of his ways, but she could not stand like this. She couldn't ignore whether she was standing or sitting.
So he said: "Third brother, don't use the knife on the bed."
Yu Wencheng turned around and saw that it was her, pouted, and said disdainfully: "Second sister-in-law, this idiot Just leave it alone.”
Shang Ruyi walked over and said lightly. He gently stretched out his hand to help him, but with a neither soft nor hard attitude, he still signaled that he had to get up, and said gently: "I am doing this for your own good, in case I hurt myself."
Yu Wencheng had no choice but to do so. , could only hum, put the dagger back into its sheath and threw it aside.
Shang Ruyi stopped pulling him.
Yu Wencheng put his hands behind his head, lying on the bed and said lazily: "Second sister-in-law, you must be too lenient these days. You are checking my homework and asking about my books. , my father never took care of me like this when he was here.”
Shang Ruyi said: "When dad left, he specifically asked me to keep an eye on your schoolwork. Don't blame my second sister-in-law for being nagging. Studying more will be good for you."
"Studying, what good can it do?"
“……”
"In this world, hard fists are the only way to go. No matter how many books you read, you are just a useless nerd."
The more Yu Wencheng spoke, the more unhappy he became. He rolled his eyes at her and said, "I When eldest brother is here, he won't control me like this."
"..."
Shang Ruyi immediately became short of breath when he heard him mention Yuwen Sui.
Recently, whenever she wanted to discipline Yu Wencheng, the child mentioned his eldest brother in front of her, and when he mentioned it, Shang Ruyi was stabbed to the point of being speechless.
After all, the awkward relationship between her and Yu Wenzhen, even if they didn't meet, was still an invisible knife piercing her heart.
Hearing what he said again, Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said gently: "Third brother, if you don't teach the people to fight, you are abandoning them."
"..."
"It's for your own good that I let you study and make demands on you."
Yu Wencheng glanced at her sideways: "Then you mean, my eldest brother just harmed me?"
"..."
At this moment, Shang Ruyi was completely speechless.
She could only sigh and change the topic: "By the way, what did you do today?"
Yu Wencheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately snorted coldly and said: "If not just to study, what else can I do?"
"Nowhere else?" "Where can I go?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly sat up again and said to Shang Ruyi: "Second sister-in-law, I would like to go out to fight with my second brother. He is at Xingluocang now, and he will definitely fight with the rebels. It’s lively!”
"...!"
"My second brother has always been victorious in battles. This time he goes to attack Wang Gang's army, and he will definitely win a complete victory."
一Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart sank again.
The news she heard in Helou, especially the last words Chu Yang left before leaving, had always made her feel terrified. Now she heard Yu Wencheng talk about "victorious in every battle" and "great success". "Win" made her even more trembling.
Yu Wencheng was still saying excitedly: "If I can go to the army and make contributions, then--"
Shang Ruyi immediately interrupted him: "Third brother, why don't you do it now? When it’s time to make achievements.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Wencheng was discouraged again, and immediately fell back on the bed coldly, saying lazily: "That's all, it's useless to tell you this. If you can't fight, just don't fight. I'm going to sleep."
After saying that, he pulled the quilt over his head and stopped talking about business Ruyi.
Seeing the child's arrogance and rudeness, Shang Ruyi had no choice but to sigh and gently pulled down the quilt for him to prevent him from holding his breath. Seeing that he still closed his eyes and ignored her, he could only turn around and leave.
When she walked out of his room, she also said to the person serving outside: "You must follow the Third Young Master every day and don't let him run around."
The boy immediately said: "Yes. .”
Shang Ruyi just left.
As soon as she left, Yu Wencheng in the room immediately opened his eyes. The slightly raised corners of his eyes revealed a cold and cunning light that was not suitable for his age, and he sneered. With a sound, he turned over and fell asleep.
Shang Ruyi quickly returned to his room.
Although she returned to her room and it was freezing outside, she never took a shower or changed her clothes. Instead, she sat at the table and looked at the shining candle on the table. Fire in a daze.
The dazed emotions in his eyes, reflected by the flickering candlelight, made him even more restless.
On the way back, her mind was entangled with various emotions, and she could not calm down. Until now, when she was alone, she finally had time to think about the news she had received today, but this news made her She was extremely frightened.
Lost in three battles...
No matter how calmly she argued in front of Chu Yang today, this result really shocked her.
Even if she didn't know Yu Wenye's strength before, after the battle of Yanmen County, no one would doubt it anymore, even if his troops and horses are insufficient this time, even if Xingluocang is easy to defend and difficult to attack , or there are more other reasons, but - he would not have achieved such results today!
Losing all three battles is really unacceptable!
Did he really lose the battle, or was there another reason?
How will he fight the next battle? Will he lose again?
If he really loses again, then his future, the future of Yuwen Mansion - can there still be a future?
Chu Yang had murderous intentions for him. This was no longer a guess. It could even be said that Yuwen Mansion was almost in danger of disaster. This time, Yu Wenye was suddenly promoted to the general of the auxiliary country and allowed him to lead the army. , rather than being ordered in the face of danger, it is more like a deliberate move - raising the weight and lowering the weight.
His expedition was to be roasted on the fire!
And now, Chu Yang has gotten the result he wanted. If Yuwen Ye loses again, just once -
The Yuwen family will be overturned!
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi felt her heart beat heavy, the feeling that made her chest vibrate, as if the earth was shaking. She even felt that the place where she was sitting was shaking. Maybe the next moment, her footing would be shaken. The land will shatter, and she will fall into the abyss!
No, absolutely not!
Just when she reached out to cover her chest, unable to restrain the panic in her heart that almost dragged her soul into the abyss, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and then, Tu Sheer came in The door said eagerly: "Miss!"
Her voice seemed a little uneasy.
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath to calm down, and then said: "Come in."
Tu Sheer immediately opened the door and came in. He walked to her side with a nervous expression. Shang Ruyi rarely saw her like this. He thought something had happened in the house and asked, "What's wrong?"
Picture She'er walked up to her and whispered: "Just now, someone asked The concierge handed you a letter."
"Letter? What letter?"
Tusher hurriedly handed the letter in his hand to her. Shang Ruyi took it and looked at it. The letter looked ordinary, there wasn't even any writing on the envelope.
She frowned and said: "Who sent it?"
Tusheer said: "My servant also asked, but the concierge said that the person who came was unwilling to tell me his name, and he was wearing a curtain and hat, so he couldn't see his face at all. I just told you that this letter must be delivered in person. The young lady of Yuwen Mansion, probably because she was afraid of being delayed, gave the concierge a large ingot of silver, which was enough for the concierge. I didn’t dare to neglect, so I asked my slave to deliver it.”
“Oh?”
“Miss, look, don’t worry.”
Shang Ruyi felt strange when he heard this. He hurriedly opened the envelope, took out a piece of paper from it, unfolded it, and was surprised.
There is not a word on the letter, but a painting——
A knife, a person, a plant of wheat.
