Chapter 51
Wu Chundao, Duke of Yu, joined the army at a young age. Zu Zhengzheng was brave and good at fighting, and was very smart. Zu admired and valued it. Decades ago, when he followed Tai. Zu was still a teenage man with a handsome appearance. He was very conspicuous among the rough and rough army. At that time, many uncles and uncles wanted to recruit him as their son-in-law.
But until Taizu pacified all directions, Wu Chundao still did not marry. At this time, he was only nineteen. Taizu joked that he did not love girls and spears, and he only knew how to hold his red tassel and spears and wiped them with a large group of soldiers. He did not have any yearning for young girls like ordinary men.
Single men always live rough life, and when they march and fight, their lives are inevitable. But later, the world was basically pacified, and everyone rewarded the house of the high-ranking official according to their merits and deeds. The young general still had no interest in women. Only Taizu, the emperor at that time, sent him out to quell the rebellion, could he see the excitement on the face of the young general.
When he fought with him, almost all the soldiers who watched him grow up to be a young man thought that his marriage would take several years to complete. Unexpectedly, this year, he was ordered to quell the rebellion in Kunming and brought back a girl. After reporting to His Majesty, he immediately brought the other home.
For this woman, he changed his previous inappropriateness and asked His Majesty to change him to a beautiful house with a garden, and carefully invited his new lady into it just like a precious flower moved from there.
His colleagues heard that his wife came from the Pei family in Kunming and was a prominent local family, but they didn't know why she was brought back like this. Wu Chundao didn't say it, and no one asked. There were only vague rumors that Mrs. Wu had married and was a widow.
However, anyone who has seen Mrs. Wu praised her for being honest, elegant and gentle. Except for being two years older than Wu Chundao, her other appearances and demeanors are very compatible with him. Later, many years later, when Wu Chundao and his wife were mentioned, everyone would sincerely say love.
It’s a pity that there is a lover in the world that cannot last long. When their second daughter was seven years old, Mrs. Wu fell ill and her bed was not healed, so she went there.
Even though many years have passed, even though the incense that has been lit in front of the Buddha for several years, Wu Chundao still has a look of pain and nostalgia when he thinks of the woman who made him fall in love with him for more than ten years.
"My wife, she is a gentle woman. Although she is weak, her heart is firm." Speaking of her wife who has been dead for many years, Wu Chundao's voice was low, and his actions of stroking his daughter's head became more and more gentle.
"Although the wife can't see those things, her mother can see them, so when Zhen'er also showed this ability, she was calmer than me. After several years, she protected and taught Zhen'er. It's funny, I am a general who defended the country, a brave man, but when Zhen'er met those things, the first person he wanted to rely on was not me, but his wife." Wu Chundao said this, laughing in a low voice, not knowing whether it was bitterness or recollection.
"Mrs. She was a brave person. When she was there, she protected Zhen'er very well. Those things... To be honest, even I felt afraid at the beginning, but she didn't. She always bravely protected her in front of Zhen'er. Before she died, she told me that she should take good care of her two daughters, especially Zhen'er... but I failed her expectations."
Wu Chundao rubbed his face. Mei Zhuyu sat upright in front of him and listened quietly. When his voice gradually subsided and suddenly stopped, he didn't say anything, just waiting for him to come back to his senses.
Wu Chundao continued for a long time: "It wasn't long before the wife passed away. I was in a daze during that period and neglected Zhen'er. She... She encountered those things, maybe she was scared or forced by that kind of thing. Somehow she fell down from the tall building. When I arrived, she was almost out of anger."
"At that time, she was so young, just like now, a small ball that could completely retract into my arms." Wu Chundao's hands began to tremble, and the hands that had been covered with thick cocoons that had picked up the long and long enemy guns, trembling on the soft and tender cheeks of the little daughter, and a gentle touch was left.
"I thought Zhen'er couldn't live, but that day, I saw the cat with my own eyes taking Zhen'er away, and when Zhen'er appeared again, she had recovered and became a kind of inhuman thing. She could become a cat, I saw her become a cat. She was still young at that time and sometimes she couldn't control it. I don't know what happened during the time when she disappeared. I only know that she was my daughter, and she came back well, that's enough."
"I have also seen the cat demon who took Zhen'er away. He suddenly appeared in my room one night. He told me that he saved Zhen'er to repay my wife's great kindness. He also said that he was about to leave. As the price of Zhen'er's resurrection, she might have to bear some responsibility."
At this moment, Mei Zhuyu suddenly asked a question, "That... Cat Demon, is he a cat man from the previous demon market?"
Wu Chundao looked up at his son-in-law who looked very ordinary. Seeing his face calm, he had some emotions in his eyes that he couldn't understand. Wu Chundao couldn't understand and nodded: "Yes, he told me that he could not stay in Chang'an anymore, and I never saw him again."
Mei Zhuyu closed her eyes and looked at the little girl in Wu Chundao's arms. She just turned over and slid up her thin little jacket on her body, revealing a white belly, like a little frog. Mei Zhuyu's eyes slowly softened, and he lowered his head and said softly: "So that's it."
"So, is it only the Duke of the State who knows the identity of the wife?"
Wu Chundao nodded, "Yes, my eldest daughter doesn't know. If there are too many people who know about this kind of thing, it is not a good thing for Zhen'er. But how did you know it? Could it be that Zhen'er told you?"
Mei Zhuyu shook her head: "No, it was just discovered by accident." He paused and said: "I have also seen non-human things since I was a child. I have practiced in observing before. I am a Taoist priest for now. I have some experience in dealing with those evil monsters."
Wu Chundao's eyes lit up, he looked at him with a new look for a while, then he smiled, patted Mei Zhuyu's arm with one hand, and said with relief and joy: "Okay! OK!"
Master Jingyan was indeed right! Wu Chundao thought, no wonder Master Jingyan had such criticism. It turned out that there was this origin. It seemed that this son-in-law could indeed help his daughter through the disaster! For a moment, Wu Chundao felt very calm in his heart, and his eyes were much more intimate when he saw Mei Zhuyu.
When they were sent back the next morning, Wu Chundao personally sent his daughter to Mei Zhuyu, still looking relieved.
"I'll leave Zhen'er to you. Please take good care of her." Wu Chundao looked at his daughter who was still a little girl and said very cautiously.
Mei Zhuyu hugged the little girl with her expression and tone, just as cautious and serious as she was at the wedding banquet, "I will do it. No matter what happens, I will protect her."
On the way back, the little girl became much quieter. Of course, this did not mean that she was finally obedient, but that she was drowsy all the way and finally turned into a kitten. Halfway through Mei Zhuyu only felt her arms loose, and a kitten fell on the horse's back. He immediately picked it up, so she did not roll into a group and fell off the horse.
Touching the kitten's head, Mei Zhuyu understood a little. She might be about to change back. Thinking of this, she felt relieved.
The ruthless Taoist Master Mei is not afraid of naughty children, but he has no choice but to use the wife who has become naughty children, and he can't bear to beat or scold her.
After returning home, he placed the cat in the quilt piled up on the bed. Mei Zhuyu sat beside the bed, lowering her head and thinking about something. He looked at his fair and slender left hand. The palm lines in his hand were slightly staggered by a pink mark in the middle - it was a scar left behind. He held his hand tightly and lowered all the emotions in his eyes.
It was midnight again that night. Mei Zhuyu sat by the bed, holding her forehead and fell asleep with one hand. The book in her hand rolled on the ground. Suddenly, he woke up. When he opened his eyes and faced the book that was spreading on the ground, he lowered his head and picked it up, put it aside, turned his head and saw a pair of smiling eyes.
His wife had recovered and was lying on the bed and looking at him, supporting her head with one hand, naked. She was covered with a thin quilt, which looked like a "jade body" and a vivid and fragrant look.
Mei Zhuyu paused, and then she showed some joy, "Are you... okay?"
Wu Zhen suddenly pulled the husband beside the bed to the bed, turned around skillfully, and lay on the other person, and overwhelmed the person firmly on the bed.
"Why can you sleep without sleeping on the bed? You can sleep even when you sit by the bed? You are so awesome." Wu Zhen scratched Langjun's chin, there was a little blue stubble, and his hands were slightly thorny.
Mei Zhuyu's expression was a little tired, but when he saw Wu Zhen recover, his eyes looked very bright, making Wu Zhen look at him and his eyes light up.
After a while, Mei Zhuyu hid to the side, holding her hand in the quilt a little embarrassedly, and advising her with eyes and nose, "You have just recovered. The one who was injured before has not fully recovered, so don't do it for the time being..."
Wu Zhen felt the "righteousness" of the Langjun, and supported his chest with one hand and smiled at him with a bright and ambiguous smile. The soft place was under the Langjun's eyes, being squeezed...
Her eyes were so hard that she didn't know where to put them. Mei Zhuyu tried to get up and was pressed back with another thud.
"No matter what, I want it." Wu Zhen, who was not shy at all, had already reached out to pick out the lapel of the Lang Jun's clothes.
Mei Zhuyu: It seems that the little girl who grew up is still willful.
So that night was still a night when a wife disliked her husband's hand was too strong.
As usual in the morning, he was awakened by the continuous sound of bells and drums. Wu Zhen reached out and rubbed his waist, and suddenly found that the husband beside him had not gotten up. He was still confused, revealing a little confusion when he woke up.
Wu Zhen looked at it for a while, rubbed his chin and turned his face to himself, and suddenly asked, "Langjun, how do you think I'll give birth to a daughter for you?"
Mei Zhuyu was awakened by scare. He asked after a while: "Do you still remember what happened yesterday?"
Wu Zhen was stunned, his expression was flawless, "Yesterday? What happened? I just remember that I was so dizzy after being filled with the unsweetened talisman water by you, and I didn't remember anything."
Mei Zhuyu carefully observed her expression and saw no flaws. She felt that she might really not remember what happened after she became younger, so she carefully said: "It's hard to get pregnant, so let it go."
Wu Zhen suddenly burst into laughter, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, and teased, "Did I scare you after becoming a little girl~"
Mei Zhuyu:...So remember?
Wu Zhen continued to laugh: "I'm sorry, I was a little troubled when I was a child. My husband was suffering. For my sake, I'll forgive me."
