Chapter 507 Past Events
When Yu Wenye returned to the room, it was already dark.
Pushing the door into the house, he smelled a faint, warm fragrance. He was not unfamiliar with this smell. It was the unique smell of Shang Ruyi after taking a bath. When he turned his head, he saw She was sitting in front of the dressing table, but she was not dressing up, but sorting out the jewelry box, which contained all the jewelry that Guan Yunmu had given her before.
On the other hand, there was a book, which seemed to be put down after reading only two pages.
Yu Wenye walked in slowly.
As soon as she heard his footsteps, Shang Ruyi hurriedly put away the box, stood up and walked to him. Yu Wenye looked at the jewelry box, then at the book on the other side, and said, "Why are you packing these things so late at night?"
Shang Ruyi also looked back and said with a smile, "I just wanted to I was reading a book, but I couldn’t read it, so I thought that I haven’t worn the jewelry my mother gave me for a long time, so I should clean it up.”
“…”
“Maybe it will come in handy in two days.”
Yu Wenye glanced at her and then at the people who were interested in him Looking at the extremely familiar hairpin jewelry, a faint sadness that had been suppressed in my heart suddenly surged up again at this moment.
Shang Ruyi looked at him and said, "Have you had dinner?"
"I just had some."
"Then, I'll have someone prepare hot water for you to bathe. , let’s go to bed early.”
"Yeah."
So, Shang Ruyi ordered Chang Wan and the others to prepare hot water. Yu Wenye took off a coat and threw it on the stool. He just lowered his head and saw the one Shang Ruyi put on the table. A book is a female commandment - no wonder I can't read it.
Soon, the bathing equipment was ready. He went over to take a clean bath and went to bed to rest after returning.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of the candle flickering by the bed was left.
But if you listen carefully, you will find that it is each other's breathing.
Yu Wenye lowered his head and looked at Shang Ruyi, who was leaning in his arms. She had been out running for most of the day today, but there was no trace of fatigue on her face, only a heartbreakingly calm look.
Yu Wenye gently put his hand around her slender waist: "Still not asking?"
"Huh?"
Although his expression was dull, Shang Ruyi still reacted quickly. She looked up from his arms and glanced at him, but still shook her head - she knew that Yu Wenye was referring to Yu Wenyuan looking for him. What exactly did Cha Shui talk about all afternoon, but she really didn't intend to ask.
Yu Wenye looked at her for a while and said, "You said during the day that people only ask questions at two times, one is when they don't know the answer."
"Yeah."< br>
“When is the second time?”
"The second type -"
Shang Ruyi lowered his eyelashes, his eyes flickered slightly in the dim light, and said softly: "It is because he already knows the other party's answer, and that answer is the answer he wants. ”
“…”
“Asked, that’s it. "It's joy."
Yu Wenye's heart moved slightly and he looked down at her: "So, you didn't ask during the day because you already knew what Aunt Qi said to me; and you don't ask now because of you. You've already guessed what my father will say to me, but you don't want to hear me say it, do you?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi subconsciously buried her face in his arms. After a long time, she let out a muffled "Yeah".
Her behavior is very intimate between husband and wife. In normal times, it will definitely lead to a wave of passionate love; but today, both of them have a sense of coldness. It was the coldness that permeated the whole body after forcing himself to calm down. Yu Wenye only reached out and gently touched her back, and did not do anything more.
Indeed, how could she not know?
If she really didn’t know anything about it, how could she suddenly start packing up the jewelry that Guan Yunmu gave her so late at night?
Yu Wenye took a deep breath and suddenly said: "Do you know why my father drank so much Jiu Yunchun on his wedding night?"
Shang Ruyi's breath sank again.
In fact, from what happened to Shen Shiyan to now, almost every word they said to Yu Wenye and Yu Wenyuan was expected. Even if it was not expected, it was still reasonable.
However, she did not expect that Yu Wenye would suddenly mention this at this time.
That seems to have been nearly thirty years ago.
She shook her head gently, then raised her eyes to look at Yu Wenye. Under the dim light, his cold eyes were somewhat blazing, illuminated by the last candle in the room. She didn't even wait for Shang Ruyi to ask again. , he said: "Actually, he had never drank before that."
"..."
"I don't know how to drink."
"..."
"Because I heard that my grandfather and grandmother were very strict people, and they ordered him to study since he was a child. He is not allowed to have any other hobbies when practicing martial arts, and he doesn’t even have a favorite food.”
"..."
"It is also because of this that he was already able to lead the army when he was only fifteen years old."
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.
At the age of fifteen, Yu Wenyuan can lead an army! Speaking of which, Yu Wenye followed Yu Wenyuan into battle to kill the enemy in his early years. He was conferred the title of General of the Auxiliary State at the age of nineteen, and now he was promoted to General of Tiance. Everyone thought that he was a genius, but they did not expect that, Compared to his father, it was still worse.
Yes, even though she had seen Yu Wenyuan as an amiable elder since the time they agreed to get married, she also knew in her heart that it was impossible for Duke Sheng Guo, who had the record of "shaking the dragon's gate with his divine bow and building a corpse to become a temple", Just a kind face.
Only those who go into battle at the age of fifteen, fight with the enemy like hungry wolves, and achieve countless military exploits can make even the emperor fearful.
She whispered: "Then -"
Yu Wenye said: "But when he was fifteen years old, his grandfather died in a war, and his grandmother became depressed. The disease soon passed away."
"..."
"At that time, he was only fifteen years old."
Shang Ruyi's breathing became heavier.
Maybe others can’t understand it, but she is the one who can understand the helplessness and pain best. After all, she, too, lost her loved ones before she had time to understand, and even more so. After being kicked out of her home, if it weren't for her uncle and aunt's adoption, she couldn't even imagine where she would be now.
And Yu Wenyuan——
Yu Wenye said: "Although he has experienced the same thing as you, your situations are very different."
"Why?"
"You have been wandering for a while and suffered a lot. Fortunately, Shen Shibo and the others adopted you, and finally... you have someone to rely on."
"Yes."
“But he——the soldiers and horses left by his grandfather also Xu was also his support, but because of his crime, especially at his age and in such an environment, he was still unable to support such a large family and responsibility, and those soldiers became coveted by others. Object.
"..."
Yes, speaking of which, it was already thirty years ago. The Daye Dynasty had not yet been established, the world was in chaos, and wars were everywhere. Yu Wenye's grandfather was the Zhu Kingdom of the previous dynasty. Later, he followed Emperor Wen Chu Yin to conquer this country, and then established the foundation of the Daye Dynasty. Naturally, he had his own soldiers at hand, and they were the only ones in troubled times. rely on.
However, once the old Duke died, these soldiers and horses became fat in the eyes of others.
Shang Ruyi spoke with a slightly trembling voice: "At that time, there must have been many people, many people...oppressing him, right?"
Yu Wenye was silent for a while and said hoarsely. : "Actually, my father rarely talks about what happened back then. Probably He himself didn’t want to recall it. We only learned a little bit about it through listening to Pei Shibo and others chatting after drinking. We heard that he had been struggling for two years, but at that time, the Yuwen family was still inevitably in decline. "< br>
“…”
"In short, he was very miserable at that time."
Shang Ruyi pursed his lips and said nothing.
Actually, just thinking about it will tell you that how could Yu Wenyuan’s experiences as a boy be covered by the word "bitter"?
But fortunately, everything has passed.
Just the experience——
Just when Shang Ruyi was racking her brains and couldn't describe the suffering years that she could not imagine, Yu Wenye suddenly spoke again, but this time, he seemed to be infected by some emotion, his voice was hoarse and abrupt. There was a hint of tenderness: "However, mother has always been by his side."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi took a breath.
Mother, Guan Yunmu?
You actually met Yu Wenyuan when he was so young and stayed with him?
Could it be that——
At this time, Yu Wenye lowered his head slightly, looked into Shang Ruyi's twinkling eyes, and nodded gently: "My mother and he have a marriage contract."
"... …!”
Shang Ruyi gasped.
It turns out that Guan Yunmu and Yu Wenyuan were also engaged - it is no wonder that they met at such a young age; and if it is said that Guan Yunmu has always been in love during his most difficult years. By staying by his side, the relationship between the two people should be very deep.
It's so deep that she, a cold and distant person, only treats her husband wholeheartedly. Even if she is wronged and even sacrifices her own life, she will stay by his side.
Shang Ruyi's heartbeat became heavier.
But when she reacted again, she realized that the heavy heartbeat was not only her own, but also the heartbeat of Yu Wenye in the chest that was close to her. It was also so heavy that it seemed like it would burst out of her chest at any time, but His face slowly calmed down at this moment, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he continued: "But mother can't help him."
"..."
This sentence is not finished yet.
No need to finish.
Although Guan Yunmu came from a family of officials, the young man who held the title of Duke of Sheng during the war-torn years was watched by people who looked like wolves and tigers around him. Guan Yunmu could not help him. Behind her The civil servant family couldn't help him.
Shang Ruyi opened his mouth as if to say something, but his voice was so low and hoarse that there was only a little breath left, but Yu Wenye still understood, and he knew what she wanted to ask even without her opening her mouth.
He said: "At that time, the only person who offered a helping hand to my father and could help him was Duke Shenwu—Dong Yan."
"..."
"And the reason why he is willing to lend a helping hand is for his daughter."
