On the day of the wedding, he left me to take care of other women, and I turned around to fulfill it, but he regretted it.
On the night of the cave room, before the candles were burned out, and the hijab had not yet been uncovered, I did not expect that my husband would leave me and run to another woman.
He used my generosity as an excuse, after all, it was my own sister.
I acquiesced to his departure, and was very tolerant, and got up and began to write parting words.
When we met again, he tried to ask for forgiveness with years of friendship and was willing to accept me back into the house.
I smiled and shook my head, but before I could speak, I heard several young voices behind me: "Mother, Dad asked us to take you home." ”
Under his astonished gaze, I took my three children and left confidently.
You ......Are you a smelling peach? "
On the long and bustling streets of Kyoto, the cries of hawkers come and go, and the crowds of pedestrians are endless, and the scene is bustling and enthusiastic.
I was standing in front of a stall, picking out all kinds of gadgets, and suddenly there was an exclamation behind me, and I turned my head to look, only to see a tall and straight figure standing there, still beautiful, his eyes were full of shock, staring at me tightly.
Liao Wenbo? "When I returned to Kyoto, I met him in such a short period of time, and there were some things and people that might not be avoidable, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.
Looking at this familiar and strange person in front of me, I couldn't help but think of all kinds of pictures of the past, obviously only two years have passed, but it seems to be a matter of the previous life.
I have a childhood companionship with the person in front of me, a marriage contract for many years, and I once had a longing to marry him, and then live a plain and happy life.
When I first came to the capital, he was gentle with me, taking me to taste the food of Kyoto, taking me to visit the places of interest in the capital, although some people secretly ridiculed me for being a black girl from the countryside, but he would always gently persuade me not to take it to heart.
However, something is missing between me and him, and even if we get married and follow the same path, we will eventually be different.
Buddhism says that all causes arise and all causes perish.
The fate between people, probably that's it.
He hurriedly walked up to me, his eyes slightly red, and asked again and again: "What have you been to ** in the past two years?" I sent someone to Ningzhou to look for you, but I couldn't find you, where did you go? ”
I was in a complicated mood, took a step back, and distanced myself from him, and he looked questioning, as if I was an irresponsible bad woman, attracting the attention of the passers-by.
I went**, it has nothing to do with you, right? I interrupted him coldly, since I left home two years ago, the Wen family seemed to want to get rid of the relationship with me, how could they worry about me? "If it's okay, I'll go, and we'll see each other later, so let's be strangers. I finished and prepared to leave.
Smell the peach! He suddenly stopped me again, his tone softened suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't let your sister into the house, nor did I marry ......”
I looked at him in amazement, which was beyond my expectation.
Considering the Wen family's doting on Wen Yu, her mother has been planning for Wen Yu's marriage, how could she not enter the Liao family?
As for him not marrying a wife, it can't be because of me.
I smiled bitterly and said sincerely: "Oh, then come on, you are not too young, let's start a family as soon as possible." ”
His gaze swept over my face, then brushed over my bun, and he said kindly, "Wen Tao, based on our friendship for many years, I forgive you for your willfulness and am willing to welcome you back home." ”
I was made laughing and crying by his words. I don't blame him for seeing me that way, because today I wore ordinary clothes for the convenience of travel, and my hair was simply combed with a turquoise hosta.
The sun in Heijo is scorching and unforgiving, and I go out a lot, and I'm already tanned. Of course, like the women in Kyoto, my ** is naturally not so fair-skinned. In his eyes, I must have spent my days of loneliness and helplessness.
I smiled and shook my head, and before I could speak, a few familiar and immature voices came from behind me: "Mother, mother, mother......."”
I looked back and sighed. Several small children came running from a distance, the taller one who looked to be about six years old, nervously guarding two children who were just too young to walk.
They are my children.
Mother, dad asked us to pick you up and take you home. "The older kid is now a little adult, and he looks serious. It's just that his constantly rolling eyes make him look a little childish and cunning.
He pretended to inadvertently glance at Liao Wenbo, who was already stunned, with an innocent expression on his face, and said loudly: "Mother, let's go, Dad is still waiting for us." ”
You, you ......”
Let's go. In Liao Wenbo's shocked gaze, I took my three children and walked away.
Just a few steps forward, a figure walked leisurely towards us, it was Xiao Yan. He had a relaxed gait, as if he were taking a walk, and when he saw me looking at him, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and his gaze swept coldly in the direction behind me, and then retracted, and stared at me instead, his black eyes revealing a hint of displeasure.
He smiled lightly and looked natural. I've been with him for a long time, and I've figured out his temper. He was clearly unhappy about something.
I looked at him without flinching, and secretly mocked in my heart, this man is really cautious and domineering!
During my two years in Heijo, whenever other men appeared next to me, or someone gave me an extra look, he always acted unconcerned. But as soon as a child appeared around me, he would gather around me and call me mother as if he had just the right appearance.
Over time, the neighbors around me knew that the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, Luo Fu, already had a husband and a son, and no one of the opposite sex showed me favor again.
Daddy, Daddy......”
The children all rushed to him, he stroked Yan Qing's hair, as if to encourage him, and then one by one, he took the two children into his arms and said to me gently, "Let's go back." ”
I smiled disgustingly, pulled Yan Qing with my hand, and the group walked in the direction of the Marquis of Anning's mansion.
Now that the country is safe and the border is stable, Xiao Yan has been rewarded by the imperial court, so we have our trip back to Kyoto.
Two years ago, Xiao Yan and I got married in Pingcheng.
Although I have been divorced, I am not ashamed of it. I like Xiao Yan in my heart and want to be with him. As for marriage, it was already an unattainable dream for me.
However, he made a promise to me that he would grow old together, and he was bent on marrying me.
As the prince of the Hou family, he must marry a wife who is a good match. I thought that the marriage between me and him was doomed to be impossible.
But to my surprise, An Ninghou came to my shop in person, Hou Ye is a gentle elder, and I talked for a long time, we recalled my grandfather together, and he also told me about Xiao Yan's deeds at the border over the years. I was both admiring and distressed when I heard it. In short, the conversation with Hou Ye made me completely let go of the worries and entanglements in my heart.
Hou Ye personally planned our wedding, and although my mother-in-law, who was far away in Kyoto, could not be there in person, she wrote me a handwritten letter thanking me for taking in her son, who had been single for 25 years.
As the wedding approached, I was warmly received by my future mother-in-law, who sent a trusted grandmother and a dozen maids, as well as several carts of precious utensils, jewelry, and clothing. She cared for me in every way, whether it was room and board or daily life, she arranged it in an orderly manner.
Originally, our wedding date was not urgent, but one day, after Xiao Yan received a letter from the capital, he suddenly accelerated the preparations for the wedding, as if he was racing against time.
When I returned to the Anning Marquis Mansion and finally learned the truth, I couldn't help crying and laughing, this man is really cautious.
Brother, you are really fast, you even have to rob me of this matter? The second brother Xiao Yan joked with a smile, and his wife Ah Yan next to him also laughed, the couple are both models of smart minds and getting along well.
Xiao Yan glanced at him disdainfully, "As an elder brother, of course you have to make a difference." ”
On the other side, my mother-in-law was playing with a few children, calling them happily, and suddenly, she said to me with a smile: "Ah Tao, in a few days, the house is going to hold a grand banquet, and I have specially invited many ladies of the family to come, I want them to see my good daughters-in-law and good grandchildren, so that they are all envious and jealous." ”
The mother-in-law raised her eyebrows proudly, "Who would have thought that the three sons in the family would have ......."”
Yan and I couldn't help but giggle, and the room was filled with laughter.
In the Anning Hou Mansion, the three Xiao Yan brothers are the only seedlings of this generation, and I became pregnant soon after, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses a few months later, and Xiao Yan and Ah Yan also have a son.
As for the third brother Xiao Ling, he is not married yet, but his marriage date with the girl of the Yu family has been set in a few months. That girl is also a gentle and considerate woman, and she has a very good relationship with Ah Yan, and I can't wait to see her as a member of our family.
Looking at the laughter in the house, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart, the family warmth I once longed for is now realized by my side, everyone is so good to me, this is the happiness I have dreamed of.
The man next to me sensed my emotions, he reached out to hold my hand, gently stroked my fingertips, and silently conveyed comfort.
I blushed with shame, and thought that there were so many people in the room, and he was still like this, so I glared at him fiercely. He only showed a delicate side face, and the strength in his hand was still as domineering as usual, and he refused to relax at all.
But soon I found out that everyone was busy with their own affairs, and even my second brother Xiao Yan was talking to Ah Yan in a low voice, and even whispered something in her ear from time to time, with an intimate appearance, as if the couple interaction between me and him had become commonplace.
On the day of the banquet, I was carefully dressed by my mother-in-law, and the maid put on my makeup. Ah Yan looked at me and exclaimed, "My sister-in-law is really beautiful today. ”
I smiled in response, thinking back to the man's fiery gaze and his strong kiss when I had just left the house, and I couldn't help but feel my cheeks heat up.
Ah Yan looked at me, and suddenly, she seemed to understand something, and smiled knowingly. I felt even more embarrassed, she came over to support me, and whispered, "The people of the Xiao family are a bit overbearing. ”
I feel the same way, and not only that, but they're a little stingy.
There were many women of the family who came to the banquet, and I didn't know most of them. During the six months I lived at Wen's house, my mother often received invitations to banquets, and she usually only took me with her.
She was worried that I, the daughter who grew up in Ningzhou, would disgrace her.
My mother-in-law introduced me to the people present, and the ladies laughed and complimented me, and some flattering words seemed to be sprinkled on me for free.
It suddenly occurred to me how they would feel if they knew that I was actually just the daughter of the Wen family who had been cut off from the relationship, and even the former daughter-in-law who had left the Liao family
However, I quickly got an answer.
Smack!A sound of porcelain shattering sounded, and a lady suddenly stood up, pointed at me with wide eyes and said, "You, you are Wen Tao!."”
I looked at her and was not surprised to meet her, my mother. After two years of not seeing her, her temples were already covered with gray hair, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
At this moment, my feelings became complicated.
In the past few days, Ah Yan took the initiative to mention the matter of the Wen family to me. It is said that after I left the house, the Liao family was very dissatisfied with Wen Yu and refused to let Wen Yu enter the house. My brother Wen Jing fought with Liao Wenbo for this, which caused the relationship between the two families to fall into a freezing point.
Wen Yu has been living in the Wen family and is still unmarried.
As far as Liao Wenbo is concerned, the Liao family has planned several marriages for him, but in the end they have not been able to make it. There is no need to think about it, there is no doubt that it is due to Wen Yu's ingenious strategy.
More complicated, however, is my mother. She quickly recovered from the shock, the consternation in her eyes gradually turning into mixed emotions, and the expression on her face changed.
There was another woman sitting at the table, and when she heard the news, she was so angry that she almost wanted to bury her head in the ground. This woman is Liao Wenbo's mother, so she naturally knows me. Although their hearts were turbulent, at the moment they were in the Anning Hou Mansion, in full view of everyone, they could only swallow the doubts and shocks in their hearts.
That's right, you know our peaches, too. Alas, the fate of my family's peach is really unlucky, since her grandfather, Mr. Wen, passed away, she has lived alone. When I first heard the news, I was heartbroken. If I had known earlier, I would have taken her back to our house and pampered her like a baby. ”
My mother-in-law's voice was loud and proud: "I'm not like some people who have beads in their eyes but don't know how to cherish ......”
The ladies of the family who heard these words looked at each other and couldn't understand what they meant, so they could only smile and praise: "Mrs. Shizi is indeed elegant in temperament, and her demeanor is natural and chic......”
It's true, it's better than my girl. ”
When my mother-in-law proudly demonstrated her medical skills, Ah Yan and I looked at each other and smiled. My mother-in-law seems a little naïve because of my father-in-law's protection, but we are happy to spoil her, and we just hope that she will always be happy.
My eldest daughter-in-law has excellent medical skills, she gave me acupuncture massage every day after she came back, and my back ** disease has been cured ......My mother-in-law said proudly, and I saw that my mother's expression was a little glazed, as if she was caught in a memory.
I knew she must have remembered how I used to take care of her at home. She often has headaches and I always patiently massage her acupuncture points. Once, when I was giving her a massage, someone came to tell Wen Yu that she refused to eat, she pushed me away in a hurry, and I lost my balance and fell to the ground because I had bent over for too long.
And my mother didn't even look back.
I thought I had forgotten, but the images came to mind so clearly.
I don't care anymore, though.
Some people, some things, are just passers-by in life after all, even if they are my relatives.
Time flies, the years are silent, the past does not look back, and the future will not settle.
I have my family, my life is complete, and I don't want anything else.
I felt a gaze stick to me, and when I looked up, Xiao Yan was standing in the distance, and we were looking at each other from afar. Before, I couldn't see through him.
Now, I slowly understand, understand his domineering, his stinginess, his affection, and his tolerance and gentleness as always.
My heart beats whenever I think of him, and I'm really lucky. I smiled at him, his eyebrows raised, and his cheerful look made me happy. He tilted his head to look at me, his eyes full of tenderness, and I was drawn by his gaze until Ayan's call to me.
My heart was beating a little fast, my face was red again, and I didn't dare to look at him again.
