Chapter 42: Lingering Candles

In early spring, the night is as cool as water and the moon is like frost.

Yan Bing's heart was also cold and heavy as the night, she walked quickly in the corridor of copying hands, trotting all the way in the direction of the inner courtyard, obviously listening to Wen Yuan calling behind her but didn't want to look back, didn't want to stop.

She knew that her husband and Cardamom should not have anything beyond the development of friendship, because he would be dirty, but she still felt uncomfortable looking at the scene just now - red men and green women dressed like they were married, red sleeves were fragrant and reading at night, and the atmosphere was harmonious like husband and wife, what is this called?!

"Ah Bing, slow down, beware of falling!" Wen Yuan chased after him and was full of anxiety, it was dark this day, he didn't take his maidservant to run around, and the lantern was thrown at the door of the study, what should I do if I couldn't see the road clearly and fell?

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yan Bing, who was walking at the second gate, stumbling on the threshold because the skirt was too long, and he stretched out his hands and planted them on the ground with a scream.

"Ahh It's over, it's over, it's going to be a dog gnawing mud...... Yan Bing's heart tightened, and she closed her eyes like an ostrich, just waiting for herself to pop to the ground.

At this critical moment, Wen Yuan finally arrived, holding the door frame with one hand and reaching out from behind with the other, grabbed Yan Bing's waist with the other, and then pulled her up with one arm with one force.

Wen Yuan didn't let go after pulling Yan Bing up, but took her into his arms, put his chest close to her back, and whispered in her ear: "Look at you, you almost fell off with a frizzy beard, right?" Don't lose your temper, good. ”

"Who's losing your temper? If you want to talk to that interpreter flower, just go and talk, and I'll go back and rest by myself. Yan Bing's heart beat like a drum under the fright, although her feet were weak and she couldn't move her legs in front of him, but her mouth was unrelenting.

Wen Yuan rested on her waist and abdomen with one hand, and suddenly felt that his palms were warm and hot, and he jumped like a deer crashing.

His mouth was dry for a while, and he wanted to open his mouth to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his throat was tight, and he couldn't make a sound for a moment.

"Why don't you speak? Empty heart, right? Yan Bing felt that she was in a period of irritability before the menstrual period was coming, although she intellectually felt that this was not a big deal, but emotionally she couldn't accept it, and she opened her mouth to be provocative.

“…… It's just a misunderstanding. Wen Yuan didn't dare to say that he did it on purpose, so he couldn't explain the reason for his motives, and he was afraid that the more he described, the blacker he would become, so he simply stopped saying a word.

When it comes to the danger of life and death, he adheres to the truth that a gentleman can't do anything, picks up his wife, puts her on his shoulder, walks quickly around his waist, and goes straight to the main house in the backyard.

Yan Bing was hugged by Wen Yuan like a child, and his back was supported by his legs, and he fell on his shoulders with his head down, and suddenly panicked, waving his hands and shouting while pounding: "You, what are you doing?" Let go! Put me down?! ”

"Don't let it go, you won't have to run around, it's not good at all." After Wen Yuan finished speaking, he slapped her behind her, as if his brother was educating a wayward child.

"......" Yan Bing was almost stiff for a moment, and then suddenly felt sad, tears in her eyes and a depressed tone: "I have long wanted to ask you, Brother Yuan, have you always only regarded me as my own sister?" ”

This is a question that Yan Bing has been struggling with, but Wen Yuan was asked inexplicably, and replied casually: "You are already a few years younger than me, of course you are your sister." ”

"My sister! I mean my sister! Yan Bing couldn't suppress her surging feelings any longer, and finally completely tore apart the doubts hidden in her heart, and asked him bluntly: "Have you always thought that I was the reincarnation of your own sister?" Is it because Zheng Gongxu forced me to marry me in a hurry? ”

"......" Wen Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and he almost couldn't hold back his breath - who would marry his sister home if he ate it?

"How do you think that?" Didn't you just misrecognize it when you were a child? Dare to love her until now? Wen Yuan felt dizzy, he thought that keeping filial piety was the only problem between the two of them, but he didn't expect that there was a pit of brothers and sisters.

"Aren't you just like a sister to me? Men shouldn't be like that to women, right? Yan Bing pursed her lips and asked, although she didn't have much personal experience, she had read all the books and watched small movies.

From beginning to end, although Wen Yuan was very careful, he was very polite, sharing the same bed for dozens of days, and never taking a step beyond the thunder pool. The two get along with each other less, and passion is naturally like family affection.

"I'm not your sister's reincarnation, really, don't lie to you." Yan Bing's tone was very sincere and serious, because she clearly remembered her past life and never lied.

"I know, I saw it when I was in Banyan Village. After getting along a lot, I naturally know that you are not my third mother, she is just an ordinary village girl, how can you be well-read. Wen Yuan replied very seriously, how could the little clever who could teach people to make dim sum at the age of four be his sister who died early?

"Then why don't you treat me as a wife?" Yan Bing is full of doubts, can't it be because it can't work?

What's wrong with you, your wife? I was wronged! Wen Yuan felt that he was really full of bitterness and had nowhere to pour.

After a while, he sighed and said, "...... You said that you want to keep filial piety for three years, how can I ignore this kind of thing? ”

I'll just say it casually, twice......

Yan Bing listened to his serious answer, and her lips were bitter, and she finally realized that she had made a big mistake as a matter of course - the speaker had no intention of listening to the heart.

At the beginning, she didn't want to get pregnant early when she was too young, so she found an excuse to keep filial piety, but she didn't really take it seriously in her heart.

First, her father is not really her father, and secondly, she has not been so particular about this kind of thing in her previous life for more than 20 years, and it has long been a deep-rooted concept, and she can be restrained in her behavior in this life, but she definitely doesn't care as much about Wen Yuan in her heart.

She has been expecting her husband to take the initiative, but the other party is worried about keeping filial piety to her father-in-law! It's just speechless. So, am I wrong? Yan Bing couldn't help but murmur: "It's all a misunderstanding? ”

"Naturally, it was a misunderstanding!" Seeing that he would walk a few steps to the door of the main house, although Wen Yuan was still a little bitter in his heart, his face faintly showed joy. What sister and brother are filial piety, and if they do what they should do, she will naturally stop thinking about it.

"No, these are misunderstandings, but I saw you and that cardamom talking and laughing today!" Yan Bing came back to her senses and pulled the problem back to the beginning.

"It's also a misunderstanding, isn't I about to leave for Changzhou? By the way, I'll just ask her in detail about the past. Wen Yuan had already pushed open the wooden door of the main room as he spoke, and then put Yan Bing down on the couch in the dark, and took out the fire fold to light the lamp and candle.

"What's that?" Yan Bing only felt that there was something hard pressing under her body, and she was frowning and about to get up, when suddenly the light turned on.

After seeing the surrounding environment clearly, she was stunned, and saw that all the furnishings in the room were very different from the previous time, and even the wooden couch had been replaced.

A pair of dragon and phoenix red candles danced happily on the high table with orange and yellow firelight, illuminating the room decorated with red silk, which was particularly full of warmth.

On the couch, a brocade dragon and phoenix quilt was spread, sprinkled with peanuts, longan and red dates, and the big and full food was pressed under her, full of Wen Yuan's expectations.

"This big year has passed, even if it has been three years, okay?" Wen Yuan turned around, half-knelt in front of the couch, took Yan Bing's hand and pleaded, "I'm about to travel far away, before leaving, let's be a real husband and wife, okay?" That way, you don't have to be suspicious, and I have a thought. ”

Those deep eyes seemed to be whispering: "One night of warmth, I think it will be enough for me to savor it for months until I return home."

After speaking, he saw Yan Bing's shocked and struggling and hesitant look, he couldn't help but smile lightly, and without waiting for his wife to answer, he got up and stepped forward, hugged her waist and clasped the back of her head It was a moist and fiery kiss.

……

He kissed and warmed up, tasted the deep taste, and gently rubbed the infatuation. Yan Bing only felt that her lips and tongue were numb, her cheeks were hot, and her belly clothes were tightened, so that she couldn't breathe well, almost suffocated, and her heart was beating as if she was about to jump out of her throat.

In this way, the red candles are swaying, the sandalwood is curling, the dragon and phoenix embroidery is twisted into a ball with a little scarlet, and the crimson light gauze curtain is swaying like rippling water......

In an instant, the sky is bright, the wind and rain have not stopped at night, and countless fallen flowers are in the clouds, as if the rain hits the plantain into the heart, and the filaments turn into spring mud to protect the red flowers.

Yan Bing only felt that her eyelids were heavy, and she wanted to fall asleep and rest, but she felt full of happiness and didn't want to close her eyes.

I was about to talk to Wen Yuan again and talk about love, but I reached out and touched my husband, but I didn't see my husband, and I was in surprise, when I suddenly heard someone muttering in a low voice outside.

"My aunt?" Wen Yuan looked at the warm incense who was passing the word with a puzzled expression, General Duan's family had been beheaded in the early years, where did the brothers come from? If it is Yan Bing's aunt, it is still possible.

"A very fat woman, saying that she is from your hometown, what village is the tree," Nuan Xiang's face was full of embarrassment, and she hesitated again and again to relay Menzi's words, "She has been shouting that it is your aunt, saying that you have forgotten your ancestors after you became rich and rich, and you have not gone home to visit your relatives for more than ten years, and you have not gone to visit your grave." ”

After saying that, Nuan Xiang quietly raised her eyes and glanced at the master's face, fortunately it was not too bad, and then added: "She has a loud voice, and the housekeeper is afraid of noisy neighbors, and thinking that it is still early at this time, he welcomes her into the door and invites her to eat morning food, and asks in detail." ”

"That is, now this person is eating in the main hall?" As soon as Wen Yuan heard that it was the fat aunt, his thoughts were suddenly pulled back to Banyan Village more than ten years ago, and his face couldn't help but darken, and he was scared and shuddered.

She hurriedly shook her head and said, "How can I go to the main hall, just stay in the inverted room, waiting for you to speak." ”

"Okay," Wen Yuan nodded slightly, pointing to the inner room and said, "You guard the lady, I'll go back as soon as I go." ”

As soon as he went out on the front foot, Yan Bing called warm incense and fetched water to help him freshen up, not caring about his physical discomfort, he wanted to go to the front yard immediately to see if it was the shrewd aunt of the Rong family who came all the way to find fault.
