Chapter 508 What kind of woman are you?
The daughter of Duke Shenwu is Mrs. Dong.
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.
She knew that Yu Wenye might not be able to talk anymore, but tonight, he seemed to need an outlet for him to talk about something. So she whispered: "Dad, he married Mrs. Dong."
"Yes."
"So -"
"So,"
Yu Wenye pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "On the night of the wedding, my father drank Jiu Tan Jiu Yingchun in one breath."
“…”
“He drank at the Duke’s Mansion on his wedding night, and his mother locked herself in her room and opened the wine to accompany him. Let’s drink together.”
"..."
"I heard that they both didn't drink at all before this, but after that, they both developed a good drinking capacity. However, they didn't know that they couldn't see it. How drunk the other party was."
"..."
Shang Ruyi's heart felt sour and painful.
So, that’s it.
No wonder Yu Wenyuan was originally in high spirits that night when Yu Wenzhen returned to the Duke's Mansion. But when Aunt Hui took out the treasured Jiu Yunchun and said that she wanted to celebrate "tonight's joy", his expression suddenly changed and his mood changed. Also depressed.
Aunt Hui would not understand how many complicated emotions were involved in the wedding joy that night.
I don’t even understand whether Yu Wenyuan, who drank nine altars and nine springs, was sad or happy that night.
Shang Ruyi sighed.
This sigh, in this dark and quiet night, revealed infinite sadness. Yu Wenye seemed to be infected by such emotions. After being silent for a long time, he continued in a hoarse voice: "It's over. Two years later, my eldest brother was born, but Mrs. Dong passed away while giving birth to him.”
"..."
"Later——"
Needless to say what happened next, not only Shang Ruyi knew about it, but also almost everyone in the world knew about it.
Five years after the death of his first wife, Yu Wenyuan married Guan Yunmu.
Of course, few people in the world know that they were once engaged, and most of them don’t know that those five years were like flying by. For others, it was just a simple life; but for others, it was just a simple life. For Guan Yunmu, who has long passed the age of leaving the court and is almost unable to find a good marriage, this is a long and stubborn wait that almost puts him to death.
Fortunately, she finally waited.
Yu Wenyuan married a woman who had been engaged to him before, but it was a waste of her youth.
And there is no need to talk about what happened next.
Yu Wenye was born, and Yu Wencheng was born. Although Yu Wen was practicing outside, Yu Wenyuan never stopped. During the establishment and early days of the Daye Dynasty, the Yuwen family made great achievements and accumulated countless achievements and popularity. The harsh environment that was once difficult to move forward was gradually transformed by Yuwen Yuan into a smooth life. If you follow these steps, you will reach the absolute peak.
Everything seems to have really passed.
However, there are always some traces of thoughts, like the feathers left behind by swan geese after flying high, lingering, unwilling to drown, floating in the long river of time.
At this time, it was getting even later.
There was only one lamp left beside the bed, and at this moment there was only the last short sliver of the candle. The candle flame gradually became lower and tighter, but even that weak firelight reflected in Yuwen Ye’s deep His eyes are like stars that are always twinkling in the dark night sky and refuse to be extinguished.
His worries are not over yet.
Shang Ruyi thought for a while and asked softly; "Feng Chen, do you want to know whether he has... had any real feelings for Mrs. Dong? For these two wives, Who does he love more?"
"..."
Yu Wenye said nothing.
But at this time, not speaking is acquiescence.
Shang Ruyi said: "Have you asked?"
Yu Wenye nodded gently.
Although Shang Ruyi asked the question herself, she was a little surprised when she saw Yu Wenye nodding - it seemed that Yu Wenye shouldn't care at all, or in other words, shouldn't ask these questions.
However, it seems to be reasonable.
Even if he had sworn since he was a child that he would not be tainted by the love between men and women if he did not achieve great things, but after all, they were his father and mother. Especially in Guan Yunmu's life, he was cold and distant even to his own son, and he only had one thing. How could her husband, Yu Wenye, be willing to let her lifelong love come to nothing?
Furthermore, there was a gap of five years between the death of Mrs. Dong and the time when Yu Wenyuan married Guan Yunmu again.
It is impossible for him not to know that Guan Yunmu has been waiting for him, but he still delayed it for five years. It is impossible to say that he has no feelings for his deceased wife.
Human beings are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?
What's more, Guan Yunmu waited for him out of affection, but Mrs. Dong also implicated her entire family for him, and she did not hesitate to put down her dignity to fight for love, so how could she not be affectionate?
So, of course Yu Wenye had to ask.
Shang Ruyi asked carefully: "Then, how did dad answer you?"
"..."
Yu Wenye was silent for a while and said: "He only asked me if the time to practice was too short. If so, I will double the time to get up early to practice in the future."
"Huh?"
Business Ruyi couldn't recover for a while, she looked at him with wide eyes stupidly, Yuwen Ye also lowered his head to look at her and said calmly: "That's how he answered me."
"..."
"He said that from now on, practice harder and if you don't sweat, You can't put down your weapons; you can't stop and rest if you don't breathe." "..."
“In this way, I won’t have the leisure to think about these trivial matters.”
Shang Ruyi blinked.
After thinking about it again, I came to some understanding, and sighed softly: "Because, the matter is already in the past."
The past means that it is no longer in front of you.
For a pragmatic person like Yu Wenyuan, the past is just the past. Even if he has to investigate whether he loves or not, whether he has loved or not, he has not practiced his kung fu for a while so that he can survive in battle with more enemies. Opportunity matters.
When he is old and free, he may have time to think about this.
But in front of him - back then, he faced the survival of his family, and later he suffered from the emperor's suspicion. Now he has a great cause that has not yet been accomplished. How can he have time to think about those trivial matters?
This is Yu Wenyuan’s life belief.
Shang Ruyi murmured: "If such a person cannot achieve great things, then God is unfair."
"Yes,"
Yu Wenye sighed softly: "You once said that I am a very sober person, but compared to my father, I am probably still far behind."
" ..."
"If I have unsolved doubts in my heart, I can't move forward; but if he has unsolved doubts, even if he is burdened with these doubts, he must Move forward. Wait until you can solve the puzzle, but in the meantime, he will not stop."
At this point, he stopped again, seemingly lightly. He laughed and said: "Speaking of which, I used to think that the ancients only chanted about the wind and the moon when they wrote the Book of Songs. Now it seems that there is some truth in life."
"What's the truth?"
"It is possible to say that a man is too lazy; that a woman is too lazy cannot be said."
Most people are familiar with this line of poetry, but It sounds full of sadness at this moment. After Yu Wenye finished speaking, he said lightly: "There is certainly love and infatuation in the world."
Shang Ruyi did not expect that he would think of this poem at this time, and silently recited it twice in his heart. He chuckled lightly and said: "It does make sense, but the reason for that truth is actually very simple."
"Oh?"
Although Yu Wenye had been in a low mood, his eyes flickered at this time, showing a bit of animation, and he looked down at her: "Tell me about it."
Shang Ruyi said: "The truth is, There are so many things a man can do, and the world he can see is so vast.”
“…”
“But as a woman, in the past I could only stay in the courtyard of my home, seeing only my relatives, servants, neighbors, and even, I’m afraid I haven’t even read a few pages of the book that said I was ‘unspeakable’. Such a person , how can we escape from an unforgettable relationship?"
"..."
"But if a woman has a huge world in her heart, and she is also burdened with the mission of her family, and even the rise and fall of the country, how can she find so much time to indulge in love?"
"..."
"Two out of ten, I'm afraid that's too much."
Yu Wenye's face darkened and he said in a deep voice: "You mean, my mother was wrong?"
As soon as she heard this, Shang Ruyi's face also changed. She stood up hurriedly and looked into her eyes. Yu Wenye flashed a ray of cold light and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, of course I didn't mean that."
"Then what do you mean?"
"What I mean is - mother, she is not wrong."
I thought for a while and then said: "It is not wrong to be affectionate."< br>
“…”
“But it’s not bad to see more scenery and do more things.”
Speaking of which, she can talk eloquently here, and is even familiar with the poems recited by Yu Wenye. This did not happen overnight. It was because Emperor Wen’s wife, Queen Du Shi, was not only elegant and good at reading, but also knowledgeable about modern and ancient times. , and she had a wide circle of friends since she was a child. After that, almost all the civil servants and military generals who worked with Emperor Wen to create a great dynasty were friends with her and talked freely about current affairs.
Such a woman will naturally not be limited to a little love. There are many things she can do.
Therefore, after Emperor Wen founded the country and ascended the throne, Du was canonized as queen, and she was never confined to the palace. Instead, she actively participated in political discussions, and upon her suggestion, she started studying at the Chinese Academy of Daye Dynasty. It was the first time for female disciples to have female disciples, and there were even female officials in the palace.
It is precisely because of Queen Du's influence that the boudoir style of the Daye Dynasty is different from the past.
Shang Ruyi can only say "no" to a marriage that he does not want.
Even as Shang Ruyi talked about these past events with almost longing, she also recalled with some sadness that Guan Yunmu once mentioned to herself that her riding skills were all taught by Shang Ruyi's father, Shang Ruohong, but it was a pity that she could not use that riding skills. When I went further to see better scenery, Yu Wenye's voice sounded again.
"What about you?"
"Huh?"
Shang Ruyi was stunned. The weak candle seemed to sense something and went out with a pop. .
The whole room fell into darkness and silence.
In this night, feeling the warm breath of the person close at hand blowing across his cheek, Shang Ruyi only trembled slightly, and heard Yu Wenye's somewhat hollow voice ringing in his ears -
"You What kind of woman? "
"..."
"Jiangshansheji or love, which one do you choose?"
