Chapter 491 Don't fight and fight
Shen Wuzheng remained calm, as if he had already calmly accepted his "narrow loss". He only looked at his little sister with a faint smile on his lips.
Shang Ruyi was silent for a long time, and finally sighed in his heart.
She understood where her brother had failed. This poem was majestic, heroic, quoted from classics, and brilliant in literary talent. It was indeed better than Shen Wuzheng's poem.
At the same time, he also understood why his brother would say - so, he was convinced of the defeat.
Although this poem is well written, it seems a bit out of place in this poetry competition held for the victory of Fufeng, because from beginning to end of this poem, almost not a word is about the Fufeng war. Upon closer reading, it seems more like a sentiment expressed by the poet himself, which was applied to the Fufeng War.
Like a pair of delicate silk shoes, placed on a pair of big feet.
How much, some don’t fit.
At this moment, Shang Ruyi felt the same as Shen Wuzheng. He was convinced by the literary talent, but not so convinced by the poem's victory. When he looked up at Yu Wenye, he only saw a slight frown on his face. , there was a hint of haze in his eyes.
This silence lasted a little too long.
After a long time, Pei Xingyuan was the first one who couldn't hold it in anymore. He smiled and said, "I know what you are thinking. It's hard to say, so let me tell you."
"..."
< br>"This poem is good, but it is not about the Fufeng War. I don't see you Fengchen, and I don't see Ruyi from this poem. Let this The poem won the first prize, but it overshadowed the Fufeng war. From now on, when anyone mentions this poem, they will only think of it as a good poem, but they will not think of Fufeng, let alone you two. "
< br>“…”
“So, I like this poem, but I don’t like this poem winning the first prize.”
At this time, Shen Wuzheng seemed to finally be able to bear it no longer, and said with a bitter smile: "Okay, just say a few words less."
Yu Wenye also smiled lightly, and after laughing, There was a bit of solemnity in his expression.
He thought for a while and said: "Who is that Guanghanke? Brother Fu Ming, have you seen him?"
Shen Wuzheng shook his head and said: "That person never showed up until the end. . Until now, although this poem has spread throughout Daxing City, no one knows the true identity of the author. "
"..."
Yu Wenye's eyebrows frowned again.
However, he didn't care about it anymore - after all, the matter was over long ago, and it would be useless to care about it anymore. The four of them chatted for a while, and seeing the sun starting to set towards the west, Yu Wenye said: "It's not too early, let's go back to the city first. My troops here still need some time to settle down."< br>
Hearing this, Pei Xingyuan and Shen Wuzheng both raised their heads and looked behind him. The long road was paved and the end of the team could not be seen.
Pei Xingyuan said: "Feng Chen, you are amazing, there are so many people!"
Shen Wuzheng's eyes flickered on the side, he obviously knew that Yu Wenye left Daxing with 50,000 troops this time , but the number of troops brought back was far more than 50,000. They obviously had some gains in the battle of Fufeng, but they didn't say much, they just nodded and said: "Let's go."
So, several people came out of the pavilion and mounted their horses. Yu Wenye once again directed the team behind him to enter Daxing City.
The results of the Fufeng Battle reached Daxing half a month ago. Not only the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government were overjoyed, but also the people in the city were excited. After all, everyone knew that Xue Xiandong’s ultimate goal was Daxing, killing him in Fufeng would be equivalent to preventing a disaster for the people of Daxing City. Therefore, although more than half a month had passed, as soon as they heard that the general of the auxiliary country had returned to the court, the people in the city still came out to block the way. Welcome.
Yu Wenye rode a horse and led the team to walk on Zhuque Street. The people on both sides of the street cheered loudly, and the sound shook the sky. Many people stopped the team and gave food to the soldiers, and some even lived in the street. The older girl and younger daughter-in-law upstairs took flowers and sprinkled them on their heads.
But Shang Ruyi was riding behind Yu Wenye. Facing such enthusiastic people, he couldn't recover for a while.
This is not the first time that she has seen the victorious soldiers being greeted with joy by the people. However, in the past, she stood on the street and watched this scene, but now, she is accepting it from the people. Feel their enthusiasm in the cheering team.
Just when she was a little flattered, someone in the crowd saw her and immediately wondered -
"Why are there still women in the army? And riding horses?"
Shang Ruyi's heart I was startled, fearing that others would think something about this team, but immediately, someone next to the person who raised the doubt said: "That person, She seems to be the general's wife. She went on the expedition with the army this time."
"I heard that this lady is invincible."
"Yes, I heard. It was written in the battle report sent back that she fought the biggest battle with Xue Xian this time, killing more than 80,000 enemy troops."
"A woman, so powerful?"
"In our Daye Dynasty, which woman is not powerful!"
"...!"
Hearing these words, Shang Ruyi was stunned My heart was shocked!
Did you include yourself in the battle report? !
She raised her head and looked at Yu Wenye who was riding in front. His back was as broad and thick as ever. Just one glance made people feel at ease.
Although this back figure has become extremely familiar, at this moment, when looking at it again, Shang Ruyi's heartbeat is still a little fast.
At this moment, Yu Wenye turned around: "Ruyi——"
Shang Ruyi immediately came back to his senses: "What's wrong?" "It's time to separate the roads ahead. You Take Tu Sheer and the others back home first.”
"Okay."
After saying that, Shang Ruyi said softly: "You should come back earlier."
Yu Wenye glanced at her and didn't say anything. There was still a hint of faintness in the corners of his eyes. smile, but very He quickly turned his head, and after a while, when they reached the fork in the road ahead, Shang Ruyi led Tu Sheer and Wuxue, and Mu Xian led a group of people to escort them back to the house, while Yu Wenye led a large group of people to continue. Went to the Ministry of War.
Watching his back disappear at the end of the long street, Shang Ruyi turned around and led everyone to the other side.
About half an hour later, we returned to Yuwen Mansion.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west. Although it was no longer as hot as before, the golden sunset covered the road in front of us, like a golden avenue, and it also conveyed a sense of grandeur. But Shang Ruyi led the people to the front of the Duke's Mansion, only to find that the place was empty. Not only was there no one who came to greet him, but even the door was closed!
Shang Ruyi sat on the horse, looking at the closed door, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Tu Sheer said: "What's going on? When the young lady came back, no one came to pick her up."
Mu Xian also frowned, but he immediately said: "Young Master Madam, please wait a moment. I will call the door right now.”
After saying that, he got off his horse, walked up and knocked on the door, but after knocking several times, no one from the concierge came to answer the door - you know, in a house like the Duke's Mansion, the concierge cannot be empty at any time. , otherwise it would be too rude to not allow people to come in.
Just when Mu Xian was about to slam the door hard, he heard a "squeak" and the door finally opened from the inside.
A familiar, slender figure poked its head out and immediately smiled.
“Young Madam!”
Looking closely, it’s a long irises.
She immediately came out happily, walked to Shang Ruyi's horse and said, "Young madam, you are finally back!"
Shang Ruyi nodded, looked at the door again, and said, "Why has no one answered the door for a long time?"
When Chang Wan heard this, he also showed a look of resentment on his face, but he didn't have time. When he opened his mouth, a familiar, smiling voice came from the door: "Ah, the young lady is back."
Shang Ruyi looked up and saw that it was Aunt Hui who came out with a few people.
However, she did not go down the steps, but stood at the door and said with a smile: "Welcome, young lady."
Seeing this, Shang Ruyi smiled calmly. , but did not dismount, just nodded and said: "It must be very hard for Aunt Hui to take care of the housework at home."
Aunt Hui was slightly startled.
Although Shang Ruyi was smiling, she had already arrived at the door of her house, but she still couldn't get off the horse and continued talking to herself. This was a bit rude and surprised her. But Aunt Hui still smiled and said: "Where is it? It's hard work for the young lady to go out with the second young master."
Shang Ruyi nodded and said: "Yes."
Said, still Don't dismount.
Aunt Hui's eyebrows twitched unconsciously, and the maids standing behind her also looked at each other hesitantly. Aunt Hui thought for a while, and then glanced behind Shang Ruyi: "Second Young Master, he——"
Shang Ruyi said: "He went to the Ministry of War to report on his duties first, and asked me to come back first."
As he said that, he looked up at the door behind Aunt Hui, and then said with a smile: "Fortunately, I came back first, otherwise he A general who has returned from victory cannot enter his home. It makes people laugh when they enter the house. What they know is that Aunt Hui is doing the housework very hard, but what they don’t know is that Aunt Hui doesn’t let the general in!”
“…”
< br>After hearing this, Aunt Hui's face changed slightly.
Looking at Shang Ruyi who is always riding on the horse, although he is still the same person, he has completely lost the smart but uncompromising look he had when he first married into the Yuwen family.
On the contrary, even with a smile on his face, he feels rigid in his bones.
The people behind her were already getting ready to take steps uneasily. Aunt Hui let out a deep breath and finally walked down the steps, saluted Shang Ruyi and said, "How dare you, how dare you."
“……”
< br>"I was also thinking that when the second young master came back with a victory, the house would have to be cleaned to welcome him. So, I led the people in the house to clean up. Unexpectedly, I mistakenly heard the young lady's knock on the door."
“So that’s it.”
Shang Ruyi smiled faintly, got off the horse and saluted the elder: "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Hui."
Aunt Hui bowed slightly in return, and then said: "Please come in, Madam. Well, the rooms have been cleaned for the second young master and the young lady. It's clean."
Shang Ruyi nodded and was about to walk into Yuwen Mansion, but stopped and turned to look at Aunt Hui: "Where are dad and brother?"
