Zhou Shengruo Fanwai, the moon outside the house

Chow Sang-ru-gu's Extra Story Ganan Xiangdi (238-239)


Feng Qiao found Hong Xiaoyu with a sad face. Hong Xiaoyu had just sneaked back into the house from outside the barracks, and when she saw Feng Qiao, she couldn't help but be shocked.

"Sister, why are you here?" She pretended to be calm, "Did you come here to find something delicious? I happen to have lotus cake here, do you want to try it?" Hong Xiaoyu tried to lure out the food Feng Qiao, Luo Feng bought this for her.

"I'm not in the mood to eat, but you can pack some for me, and I'll bring it to Senior Brother Yun. He has been frowning all day and needs something sweet." Feng Qiao said angrily.

"Sister, what's the matter with you? I think you are the one who frowns." Hong Xiaoyu joked while wrapping the lotus cake.

"Senior sister, I think I said something wrong in front of Senior Brother Yun today. Master told me a meal." Feng Qiao sighed.

"What did you say?"

"I told Senior Brother Yun, find him a confidant who can take care of him day and night." Feng Qiao didn't know why she said such a thing.

Hong Xiaoyu was stunned: "What you said, he must be angry again. You go to him and apologize with the lotus cake. No one else can decide on emotional matters.

Senior Sister's remarks made Feng Qiao even more ashamed, she said aggrieved: "You really can persuade people now, no wonder Master made me have troubles to find you." Master is selfish, how can I persuade people, he doesn't want you to disturb the purity of the wife." It seems that this week's birthday protects the wife's heart, and it is a well-known thing in the entire military camp. . It is not easy for everyone to watch Master silently show affection all day long.

Feng Qiao took the lotus grandson to find Xie Yun. It was late at night. He had just washed up with the help of the servant and was about to rest. Seeing Feng Qiao coming, she didn't speak to her, she just took off her robe and lay down on the couch.

"Senior Brother Yun, have you had dinner?" Feng Qiao didn't speak to him, but instead asked the servant.

The little servant knows that these two are in trouble. It is really difficult for him to be in the middle, but no matter how difficult it is, he has to bite the bullet and continue: "General Yun has eaten and drank the medicine. But I haven't massaged his legs yet." He is also a smart person, the other party asked one thing, and he directly replied with three answers.

Feng Qiao waved her hand to let him go down after hearing this. She stepped on small steps hesitantly, walked to Xie Yun, and said flatteringly: "Senior brother, this is lotus cake, and my sister gave me two pieces, I can't bear to eat it. Bring it for you to taste."


Xie Yun said coldly: "Thanks, but I don't like this sweet food. I'm going to sleep first, you can do it yourself." The eviction order in his words was very obvious.

But Feng Qiao knew that she had lost her words in front of him, and patiently said: "You haven't pressed your leg yet, I will help you."

She ignored the opponent's objection, forced to lift the other party's quilt, she looked rude, but pressed it gently for him.

Xie Yun's face was reluctant, but his heart slowly softened, his eyes were calm, and he quietly looked at her profile. He has his heartache, but she always likes to sprinkle salt on his heartache, one after another. She is naive, reckless, and sincere. But he has his own thoughts, sorrows, and secrets. He was a coward, he didn't dare to look straight at her innocent eyes, he could only look at her secretly when she didn't know it.

The corners of her mouth always seemed to have a smile that couldn't fall, and she asked him in a pretentious way: "Senior Brother Yun, how is this strength?" : "Okay, if you're tired, just go back to rest first. I'm fine, you can come by yourself."

"How about that, Master told me to take good care of you." Feng Qiao didn't seem to be angry anymore when she heard him , his tone became better, and he took the initiative to apologize, "Are you still angry? I know I was wrong."

How could Xie Yun be angry with her? He was just mad at himself.

"Feng Qiao, you don't need to listen to Master's words. I have a servant by my side, so you should not come here in the future. You are a female general, you should lead troops for training, and you should not do this job of taking care of people."

Feng Qiao stopped and looked up at him in surprise: "Are you still mad at me? I know I'm wrong and shouldn't be quick to say that I want to find a maid for you. I shouldn't have said that."

Xie Yun smiled weakly: "Actually, you are right, I will seriously consider your words. The military adviser said that I am not too young, and now that my leg is injured again, I cannot lead soldiers to fight. He will be there. Find a civilian job for me in the military, and when I settle down, getting a wife and having children is also a good choice."

Feng Qiao said it from her own mouth and he heard him say it in person. She hesitated: "Senior brother, do you just listen to what the military advisor says?"

"I was raised by him since I was a child. Apart from Master, he is the person I respect most in the world, and I always listen to his words. He said that there will always be a woman in this world who will love me and take care of me. I think, I should not fight against fate. I used to be too proud and conceited, but now I can calm down and think about it, which is a great blessing in life.”

He was still proud and did not want to drag Feng Qiao down. She should have her wider life, she is smart and bold, and should not be burdened by him. Only when he married a wife would she let go of the burden in her heart and live the life she wanted.

Xie Yun smiled at her: "When I get married in the future, I won't need you to take care of me. If you come again, my wife will be unhappy in the future."

He smiled, but there was no eye The slightest smile: "Master said that people will be sent to guard Yanmen Pass. If you want to go, you don't have to take care of me. I will have someone to take care of it in the future." leg. What he said, what he was saying, he seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.

Xie Yun took her arm: "Okay, my legs are going to be numb. Go back to the room, I'm tired and want to rest."

Feng QiaoHe whispered, "Brother Yun, you really think so."

Xie Yun nodded: "When you go, remember to blow out the lights on the table." , I am obviously uncomfortable, but I still don't know what to say. Just put the lotus cake next to his pillow: "If you're hungry in the middle of the night, eat some lotus cake." She didn't know what to leave him, so let this lotus cake replace everything.

She got up gently and put out the candle in the house for him. Xie Yun looked straight at the back of her leaving, and the light on the table went out, just like the light in his heart.

The door closed with a creak, the moonlight poured in briefly, and was locked out for a long time. Xie Yun thought that his life was like the moon outside the house, no matter how bright it was, it was blocked out of the house. In the end it came to nothing. Maybe life is like this, he thinks he has a lot, too many to be inexhaustible. In fact, in the blink of an eye, the hand of fate will crush everything.

He propped himself up and held the lotus cake next to the pillow in his hand. He took a light bite in the dark, he never liked sweet pastries, but on such a night, who would dare to say that he didn't need a little sweetness? He would never have thought that what could cure him now was a small lotus cake.
