[Water Margin Derivatives] Yulou people are drunk with apricot flowers

Putting down the discussion in the front hall and not mentioning it, Meng Yulou listened to Jiang Zhushan's speech, felt pity for her husband's situation, and lamented that his life was so poor, and at the same time came to the first spare room at the back of the other courtyard. Jiang Zhushan said that Ximenqing was recuperating.

Before entering the door, he coughed lightly, but he heard Ximen Qing's hoarse voice calling softly: "Yulou?"

Hearing her husband's voice, Meng Yulou immediately rolled down tears of pearls from the peach blossom face. As soon as she opened the curtain and entered the inner room, she saw her husband lying sickly on the kang, his face was sallow and emaciated, and his demeanor was not the same as that of a gentleman from a noble family in the past. I didn't care about it at the moment, walked a few steps forward, stretched out my hand to hold Ximen Qing's hand, choked up and said: "My brother, what's wrong with you..." At this point, I couldn't help crying Words, had to throw into her husband's arms and burst into tears.

Now that Ximenqing had escaped from death, he escaped with great difficulty, and heard the doctor say that he is now a useless person, full of sorrow and nowhere to tell, seeing his relatives for the first time, is also heart-wrenching, the husband and wife hugged each other and cried a lot.

After crying for a long time, Yulou was afraid that her husband would not be able to think too much when he was ill, so she had to hold back her sadness, stopped her tears, and smiled reluctantly: "Life is alive, and it is inevitable that there will be ups and downs. As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, our family lives in Hexi. Yanggu County has been prosperous for decades, so how can there be no bumps and bumps? Fortunately, nothing major happened now, thanks to the intercession of a noble relative in our family. Let you come out, and you will be restored to your original post. There is also a three-year salary and money from the imperial court, and there is a big sister in the family to take care of it, and there are a lot of things. Now we go home, so that we can run a herbal medicine shop, and within two or three years, we can restore the original family style. Isn't it good?"

Ximen Qing smiled wryly when he heard this and said: "Sister, you are reassuring me. Yesterday Xiaoluan didn't say anything, but I forced her to talk about family affairs. I already knew that the whole family, concubine Ji, died and fled. Besides, now I..." At this point, it is really hard to say what is related to the root of a man's family, and his face is full of suffocation, because he bowed his head and did not speak.

Yulou knew what her husband meant, and because she took off her embroidered shoes and got on the bed, she put the soft pillow behind Ximen Qing's back, waited for him to lean, and threw herself into her arms tenderly, leaning into her husband's arms, and said softly "It's not like the doctor Jiang had mentioned your symptoms to my family just now. As the saying goes, sickness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like a thread. Since the doctor didn't say it to death, who can explain the future clearly?" What if our family is full of disasters this time?

Besides, my eldest sister and I used to eat fast on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and worship on the seventh day. Not only did I not believe in gods and Buddhas, but I also said that our family was dishonest. After you go home, you can take care of the sisters in the family. Those who sleep in flowers and willows outside are better at cleanliness. I'm afraid the disease will slow down in a year or two. "

After hearing this, Ximen Qing shook his head and smiled wryly: "My third sister, you are so infatuated, don't you know about my own body, I'm afraid it won't get better, this disease is just suffering..."

Yulou spat when he heard the words: "Shaohun said, you just got some moisture in the prison. After being a young master, you looked good on the outside, but weak on the inside. I'm your wife, don't you know?" What's the matter, I took those tonics that I don't know the origin of for nothing, relying on my youth and being promiscuous, I'm a little bit sloppy, now I'm getting a lawsuit, I'm bluffed, go home and take care of me for a year or two, at least Eat wine, eat more food that should be suitable for Jinger, why can't you recover? I see that you look good, but you are very thin."

Now that Ximenqing was lingering on the sick bed, and was about to be comforted, when he heard Yulou's words, he didn't know the truth in his heart, and he cheered up a little: "Good third sister, don't you want to lie to me, is this true?"

Seeing that she had touched her husband by talking about it, Yulou felt relieved, and said with a chuckle: "Why not? I am your wife, can I still coax you? Now let's stay at the doctor Jiang's house for a few days to take care of your body. , just go home, although the city of Tokyo is good, it is not the hometown after all.”

Seeing his wife looking for her husband thousands of miles away, Ximenqing entrusted someone with a gun to fish him out of the prison. Now that he heard the inhumane things about him, not only did he not dislike him, but he was so understanding and comforting. He could not help but hug him with love. The beautiful woman said in her arms: "Yulou, when I go home, I will make you a flat wife."

Meng Yulou laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand and poked him on the forehead and said, "You stupid goose is talking crazy again, now only the eldest sister and sister Ping are guarding this family, you are not cold when you say that Is it in her heart? Our family is fighting for titles. As long as you take care of your body, you can make me your empress. I don't mind that."

Ximen Qing bowed his head and smiled ashamedly, and sighed again: "It's a pity that I didn't stay in your room for a long time when I was healthy. If we have a child, I will have a high mountain and a low water in the future, and you will be relied on for life." It's..."

When Yulou heard this, she hit her heart, her eyes turned red and she wanted to cry again, but she was afraid that her husband would be offended, so she could only hold back her sadness, and said with a forced smile: "Didn't I just say that this disease is not uncommon. Okay, besides, now that you have two older brothers and one older sister, and you have the best of both worlds, what is there to be dissatisfied with? Not to mention that you are fine now, but when that day comes, these older brothers and sisters will be Can you leave me alone and not give me a pension? Even when no one pays attention to me, I still have a piece of money in my hand, which is enough to break it, just like my aunt, who is also a woman who has no flowers. It’s not as comfortable as it used to be.”

Then Ximen Qing gave his concubine some good words to persuade him, so he felt a little relieved, because he forced a smile and said: "What you said is reasonable, so let's do it, when you go home, teach Brother Xiao to recognize you as a godmother." Yulou Hearing this, I thought of Wu Yueniang's many troubles back then, and I was afraid that it would not be appropriate to be her child's godmother, so she frowned at this thought and said:

"I'm afraid I can't do it. Brother Xiao is the eldest son of Ximen's family. The eldest sister may not be willing to raise it for me. It's not that the servants have spoken ill of her behind her back. It's just that I have seen that the eldest sister is not as gentle as before after giving birth. I'm being restrained, I don't know if I'm overthinking..."

Ximen Qing nodded and said: "This is also common sense and human nature. It is inevitable. She had nothing to do with her that day, so she made such a virtuous gesture just now. No matter how many times I marry and enter the house, it is justified on the surface. I have my own child, but I am not in the same state of mind as I was back then. Although I am a little chilled, I can understand her thoughts. Third sister, don't get annoyed with her..."

Hearing this, Yulou smiled and said, "Who do you think I am? That's because she was being polite to me and called me a younger sister. Otherwise, the concubine at home will be like a girl. She wants to act coquettishly and use her temper to me. What can I do?" Well, I'm afraid that if she wants to raise her child now, if she doesn't care about it, it will be even worse if she has a quarrel with you... If you are really worried about me, just listen to my words, so that you can live at home and raise your body, the two of us If we grow old together, I don't need others to take care of me, do I?"

Hearing what Yulou said, Ximenqing felt very affectionate in his heart, because he smiled and said: "It's natural. Now that I have walked through the gate of ghosts, I can see it more clearly when I come back. This time I go home, besides going to the yamen , I will only hang around with you at home, and will not go out to hang out anymore."

Yulou nodded and said: "My brother, haven't you already understood this? Let me tell you, although this time is dangerous, it is worth it. Otherwise, if you ask yourself to understand it, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand it in a lifetime... ..."

The husband and wife talked for a while. Yulou said that the eldest sister was taking care of her aunt's house, and that Chen Jingji was afraid of something unexpected. Ximenqing sighed after hearing this: "The eldest sister's life is hard. My mother, I have only been out of the cabinet for a few years now, and I have ruined a talented and handsome man without leaving a man and a half woman, so I have to wait for a while to rest in Yanggu County, and then tell her about him. Son, such a good child, you can't ask her to die at home, can you?"

Yulou nodded and said: "That's true, the customs of this dynasty are more civilized, and no one talked about gossips when the slave's family remarried that day. Besides, my sister is only 17 years old, how can I keep it..."

Seeing that Meng Yulou cared so much about the elder sister, Ximenqing asked tentatively: "Otherwise, when I go back this time, when I tell the elder sister about our marriage, just say that you raised her. It was early, my uncle's family said that they heard that he was a motherless child, and I was afraid that he would be bullied. It is better to simply say that he was raised by you. As the saying goes, a son-in-law can hold up to half the height. If something happens to me in the future, the two of them will also Take good care of you."

When Yulou heard this, she also felt that this method was very appropriate, because she nodded and said: "This method is also a method. Now that child has been wronged, she is so attached to me. Now that she hears that I am going to be her mother, I am afraid that she is also happy in her heart. The eldest sister of the Chen family died early, this child is also pitiful and no one will take care of her..."

Ximen Qingyin said with a smile: "That's good, it's just that you can't meet this later son-in-law, otherwise people will think you and eldest sister are sisters..."

Said Yulou blushed and said: "I just explained to you, so sweet-mouthed, yes, this time you came out, thanks to our family's noble relative Yang Xiangye, you are alive now, You can go ahead with me and thank him in person..."

After hearing this, Ximen Qing gasped and said, "Why haven't you seen him for a few days? You don't get out with him. You usually avoid any man who comes to your house. Today, the regulations have been changed."
