Chapter 184 184
On a winter afternoon, the two brothers of Jiguo practiced swordsmanship in the courtyard.
When Yu came over with the ladies, I saw Iwakatsu and Yuanyi each holding a sword, holding the sword seriously, and posing an attacking posture.Yuan stopped from time to time to explain carefully to Yan Sheng.
The two of them look similar, but their temperaments are completely different.Ji Guoyansheng is a majestic and calm person. He has sat in the position of Guoshou for many years, and he is imbued with a sense of order and order. Although he looks handsome, no one dares to offend him.However, the shape of Jiguoyuanyi is much more peaceful, like a piece of pure and vast water surface, no matter who approaches, it will be surrounded by the waves of the sun shining down on it.
The picture of these two people teaching each other can even be said to be a bit pleasing to the eye.
The ladies couldn't help covering their lips and secretly laughing: "Your Majesty Yuan is indeed His Highness's younger brother, and he is also an amazing noble son. I wonder what kind of woman he will marry as his wife?"
Another female room said: "I heard that Mr. Yuan will not stay at home for a long time. After a while, he will go on a trip by himself. If Mr. Yuan has been living without a fixed place like this, even if he marries a wife, it is probably a woman we do not know. Bar."
"I won't marry you after all, Yuzi!"
"Hate, what are you talking about? How could people think of such a thing?"
You squinted his eyes, and greeted the two brothers: "Your Highness, Mr. Yuan, do you want to take a break? I brought some snacks and tea."
Yansheng and Yuanyi stopped their movements at the same time and looked toward You.Under the eaves, she was wearing a thin persimmon-colored white seaweed brocade gown. The light and lustrous color seemed to be fresh plums plucked from the branches, and it was extra delicate, just like her face.At this moment, she is bending her misty smiling eyes, and said softly: "Don't be too tired."
The moment Yan Sheng saw her, he deliberately stopped."Take a break," he said, and he went and sat down beside his wife.Because he practiced sword for a long time, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his skin was swollen red after exercise.
"I'm really sweating a lot..." She muttered softly, pulled out a square handkerchief from her lapel, and wiped off the sweat for Yan Sheng, "It's obvious that he just recovered, but he's still working so hard."
Yan Sheng was accustomed to her concern and did not stop her.Yu often does this, wiping his sweat or straightening his collar in front of everyone, and he never tires of it.
"Yuanyi, don't you want a cup of tea?" Yan Sheng asked his younger brother.
Yuan Yi held the scabbard and stood aside hesitantly.He looked at Youti wiping his elder brother's sweat, and hesitated for a moment whether to go there.He felt that the picture of his elder brother and You together was perfect enough, and his rash intrusion seemed a bit redundant.
but……
Yuanyi raised his head in confusion, and the words his elder brother said faintly rang in his ears.
"The girl you mentioned must have admired you back then, but you didn't know it."
"You have been away for more than ten years, and she may have been waiting for you to come back, but if she can't wait for anyone, she will get bored."
"But at this moment, you came back again. She must feel that fate is teasing her, so she should blame you."
Although the elder brother and Yu seem to be very affectionate, Yu is actually not happy.But even so, she was able to put on such a considerate and happy appearance that my elder brother didn't want to
I have noticed the slightest bit of reluctance in her heart.
...What does this tell him to do?Should I pretend not to know, turn a blind eye, or tell my elder brother about it?
In the moment when Yuan Yi was at a loss, You had already poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Master Yuan, please use it. It is freshly brewed tea powder. My family has a very powerful tea head. The made tea powder tastes very good, and it tastes like spring.”
Yuan Yi was taken aback for a moment, took the teacup, and tried to take a sip.This freshly brewed tea is really rich and fragrant, especially refreshing.He couldn't help murmuring: "It's really delicious."
--
"Really?" You said with a smile.She looked at the appearance of Yuanyi and Yansheng, and couldn't help whispering, "It's so good! It feels like I'm back in my childhood. At that time, the three of us often played together. I didn't expect that after more than ten years, we To be able to get together again... This feeling is quite happy, isn't it, Your Highness?"
Yan Sheng also smiled faintly: "Yes."
Before Yuanyi showed his amazing sword skills, they did have a good childhood.Although for Yan Sheng, that time is not a good memory, and it can even be said that he occasionally feels a little sick to his wishful pity at that time.
But since Yuu said so, then he should go along with it.As long as she is happy, that's enough.
However, Yan Sheng heard a voice at this time: "Although the time when I was a child was very happy, but that is already a thing of the past. We have grown up, and we are not the people of the past."
Yan Sheng was stunned, his brows furrowed.Looking up, he saw a serious look on his brother Ji Guo Yuan Yi's face.He looked at You squarely, and said, "Sister Yi, we are all living in the present."
Yu's smile froze.
She knew what Yuan Yi wanted to say - although she kept saying, "I am very happy now, just like the three of us were together when we were children", but in fact it was not the case.She was just using childhood memories as a veneer to pretend that everything was fine.
Does Yuanyi hope that she can look directly at her own heart?
This guy, I'm afraid he doesn't know what's going on in her heart?If he knew that he was in such pain because he was in love with him, he would not say such words easily, but would rush to back off, so as not to offend his beloved elder brother, right?
You's smile faded a bit, she lowered her head, held up the warming cup of tea, and took a small sip, the atmosphere around her was a little stagnant for a moment.
"What are you talking about, Yuanyi." Yansheng said a little unhappily, as if he thought Yuanyi's words were a bit disappointing.He stood up again, took up his sword, and said, "Enough rest, let's go on."
Ji Guoyuan didn't speak any more.
The two brothers picked up their swords again and walked into the courtyard.The snow that fell a few days ago has melted, exposing the white sand and stones on the ground.Grass shoes rub against the stone surface, making a rustling sound.
The swordsmanship practiced by Yuanyi is completely different from the swordsmanship learned by Yan Sheng. "Go to fight.This method of breathing can greatly increase the speed and strength of the swordsman, and it also endows the ghost-slaying knife with magical powers that are almost magical.
"Breath of the Sun·Phantom Sunbow——"
When Yuan Yi waved the blade in his hand, it was as if the sun and flames rose from the sword at the same time, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at it.It was a scene You had never seen before, as if witnessing the morning glow and the setting sun spreading across the sky at the same time, every inch of the rising and setting sun was immersed in the field of vision, so amazing that people forgot where they were.
She stared blankly at Yuanyi's back—different from his childhood, he had completely transformed into a god-like swordsman.The radiance of the sun on the blade is the testimony of his detachment from the mundane.
Even though she knew she shouldn't, she felt quite nervous and impatient, and her heart beat fast.But she was afraid that her abnormality would be noticed by others, so she quickly lowered her head, trying not to look at Ji Guoyuan's figure when he swung his sword.
And Ji Guoyansheng, who also held a sword in his hand, was also amazed by this sun-like swordsmanship.
At this moment, he realized how shallow his previous judgment was - he just thought that "Yuanyi's swordsmanship is much more refined than when he was a child", but he didn't know that Yuanyi's swordsmanship has become so amazing the point.
If I am so stunned, what about You?
Yansheng couldn't help but look away, and looked in the direction of his wife, but saw her staring blankly at Yuanyi's back, the light in her eyes was incredible.Then, as if she was afraid of being noticed by others, she quickly lowered her head, like a girl who is afraid of being noticed by her parents when she is young.
Even though it was such a simple action, it made Yan Sheng feel restless in his heart.
There is an idea in his heart clamoring: he is eager to learn Yuanyi's swordsmanship and become such a swordsman.In this way, Yuu will no longer show that unpleasant look at Yuanyi.
"Brother, do you want to try it?" Yuanyi finished the demonstration, and said calmly, "The breathing method is not easy for beginners, but once you learn it, you will become more and more proficient in the process of using it. Of course , The premise of all this is that brother, like me, is constantly hunting ghosts. Otherwise, it is not easy to find the trick of breathing."
Yan Sheng was stunned for a while, and tried to mobilize his breathing according to Yuan Yi's instructions.
However, he couldn't feel the "power of breathing" that Yuan Yi said, and he didn't feel the slightest difference in his body.He understands that such a technique cannot be learned overnight, but there is still a trace of urgency and unwillingness lingering in his heart.
He didn't want to be like those ordinary ghost hunter swordsmen, slowly learning the breathing method on the way to hunt ghosts.He and Yuanyi are siblings, and he should also have remarkable talents.Only by quickly learning new techniques faster than others can he meet his strict requirements on himself.
As the sun set, Yansheng finally finished today's practice.He sighed and said, "It seems that I can't get the trick of breathing technique yet."
Yuanyi was not surprised, and said calmly: "This is very normal, please don't be discouraged, brother."
"..." Yan Sheng smiled lightly, a little self-deprecating.What he wanted was never the degree of "normal" or "ordinary", but the eye-catching talent of Yuan Yi.
For more than half a month, Ji Guoyan Sheng was asking Yuan Yi for advice on swordsmanship.He trained harder than when he was a teenager, greatly reduced his sleep time, and even reduced the time spent by Yu's side.
--
However, he has never been able to achieve the huge leap he imagined.he
His swordsmanship is considered outstanding in the whole country, but compared to Yuan Yi, it is nothing.This made Yansheng's heart more and more irritable, unwillingness and jealousy lingered over and over again.
He even felt as if he had returned to his childhood—back to the time when he first learned that his sympathetic younger brother, Yuan Yi, had a god-given talent.At that time, he was terrified all day long, worrying every day that he would be sent to a temple to become a monk, and his younger brother would take everything from him and marry the girl he liked.
Especially, when he thought of the way You stared at Yuanyi for a while, the unwillingness in his heart became more and more.
When he practiced all night again but got no results, Yan Sheng couldn't help but cut off a bunch of camellia in the courtyard as if venting his anger.When the petals fell slowly, he regretted what he had done.
This is You's favorite flower, how can he vent his anger with it? --
"Your Highness..." At this moment, something even worse happened.Yu happened to be standing in the corridor and witnessed this scene.She looked at the cut flowers with pity in her eyes, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Yansheng's eyes flickered a little. "Sorry, I'll let Jiang Ding replant more." He barely maintained a calm tone, and said, "It's just because of the swordsmanship that I'm a little annoyed."
Yu noticed it, Yan Sheng was in a particularly bad mood right now.All because he couldn't learn Yuanyi's breathing technique quickly and like a genius.
"Your Highness, you don't have to be obsessed with this." You couldn't help persuading, "You and Yuanyi are different people."
Yan Sheng's eyebrows sank, and he said a little irritably, "You mean, I'm not as good as him, right?"
"No." You said, "I just don't understand, why does Your Highness insist on becoming as strong as Lord Yuan? In this world, there are so many powerful people. Some are good at the art of war, some are good at governing the country, He has extraordinary literary talents. Mr. Yuan just happens to be talented in swordsmanship, why are you obsessed with chasing him in swordsmanship?"
She asked softly, with slight concern in her voice.
She didn't want Ji Guoyan Sheng to continue to maintain such a state of being unwilling but unwilling to give up.She also understands that Yuanyi's talent is like the sun in the sky, which makes people want to get close, but can't.But if a person insists on touching something hot with his hands, he will inevitably be scalded, and even burnt and melted, and will cease to exist.
Ji Guoyansheng's expression turned cold.
"I must become an existence like Yuanyi." He murmured, with persistent light in his eyes.
"..."
"If not, if not..." He suddenly let go of the handle of the knife and clasped his wife's shoulder tightly.He turned to You and said word by word, "If not, You, you will be taken away by him sooner or later."
You was startled, his eyes flickered, and he said with a forced smile: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Master Yuan has always observed etiquette, how could he do such a thing!"
"I have such an intuition." Yan Sheng's eyes were not as calm as before, but with abyss-like violence. This was the first time Yu saw him showing such an expression in front of her. It should be killing an enemy on the battlefield. The look that only sometimes has.He said very seriously, "My intuition can't be wrong. If I can't surpass Yuanyi, you will definitely be taken away by him."
"Your Highness..." You wanted to say something, but suddenly felt dizzy.she wrinkled
Frowning, covering his lips, he leaned on Yansheng's shoulder with some discomfort, and said softly, "The head is so heavy...uncomfortable."
Yan Sheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately regretted his rude words earlier.He became nervous, and immediately called the attendant: "Hurry up, find a doctor!"
/ / /
Yu is pregnant.
After nearly ten years of fruitless hope, she finally became pregnant.This was the judgment made by the doctor who rushed over after she felt unwell.
Yan Sheng sat cross-legged beside her pillow, and when he heard the news, his expression was a little dazed.He was in a daze for a long time before he murmured, "Is this true?"
The ladies sitting behind the brocade curtain all laughed: "Your Highness, of course it is true! Both doctors said so."
Only then did Ji Guoyansheng come back to his senses, realizing that what was in front of him was not a dream.He laughed heartily, reached out and held his wife's hand, and said, "Thank you, Yuu."
This was a surprise he hadn't thought of.He originally thought that You's body was not suitable for pregnancy, and he even thought about the ending of not being able to have children in his life.
Yu, who was huddled in the quilt, hadn't recovered from the sudden dizziness, and still felt a little top-heavy, so he could only huddle in the bed in a daze.She touched Yansheng's hand and murmured, "I hope it's a boy..."
Yan Sheng understood what she was thinking.If it is a boy, then he will be the heir to the family business, which is what Yu needs most.
Fearing that the servants around would disturb his wife, Yan Sheng dispersed all the women's rooms and ordered them to move the doors.The room fell silent, only the rustling sound of the brocade curtain being blown by the wind.You closed your eyes and fell asleep in a daze.Her loose long hair was attached to the snow-colored sideburns, and there was a touch of crimson on her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, I took my anger out on you because of the swordsmanship." Yan Sheng said in a low voice, with infinite regret in his heart.But the thought of Yu having a baby made him happy again.He couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed the back of his wife's hand, and murmured, "You, don't worry, I will do everything I can to keep you and him safe."
After a pause, Yan Sheng remembered something, and said: "Do you still remember the hairpin that Matsuda said to order for you earlier? Today Tianzhu's mother-of-pearl house has been delivered. However, I am not very satisfied, so I asked them to re-order it. Take it back and build it."
Yu slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Really...I really want that hairpin."
"Ordinary things don't suit you," Iwakatsu said. "Only the best will do."
"Then, I'll wait for a while. After all, it's Matsuda-sama's wish."
Before she finished speaking, her husband quietly sealed her lips with a kiss.He couldn't help the pity and love in his heart, and wanted to get close to his wife.You said angrily: "Your Highness, you can't mess around at this time!"
"I understand." He suppressed his impulse, and said with deep eyes, "I won't mess around, I just want to hug you." Although he kept saying "I won't mess around", Yan Sheng still acted like Like a teenager who was in love for the first time, he leaned over and hugged her more nostalgicly than usual.
There was nothing she could do.
He was obviously a man in his 20s, but now her husband was rubbing against her body like a child.And it seems that he still wants himself very much.But she is pregnant now, but there is no way for him to fulfill his wish.
"Don't mess around." Finally,
Yu pushed Iwakatsu's cheek away from his shoulder.She dropped her hand to her abdomen and said solemnly, "The child is the most important thing."
/ / /
The news that Mrs. Beizhidian was pregnant soon spread throughout the country.For most of the clan members of Jiguo, this is a good thing. It means that the lord has an heir, and the family inheritance will be more secure; it also means that the blood of the Shanming clan in Anyiguo will flow into Jiguo Among the sub-systems, the alliance between the two races is more stable.
"Sister Yi, I heard...you have a child."
Ever since You got pregnant, she didn't go out very often.Mrs. Beizhidian, who was already favored, was cared for more and more meticulously.When Ji Guoyuan came to visit her, he felt that You was surrounded by more servants than before.
"Ah, it's Mr. Yuan, please sit down."
You leaned on the armrest and said with a light smile.Because she has only been pregnant for a short time, her figure has not changed much, and she still looks as light and slender as before.But Yuanyi could sense that there was a subtle difference in her body, a brand new life had been conceived in her body.
Ji Guoyuan sat down cross-legged, with a confused expression on his face for a moment.
In his mind, "children" are the crystallization of people who love each other.But Ji Jun and his elder brother are not in love with each other, so what is the child born in this way?
He looked at You, but saw her beautiful face with a sense of tranquility and satisfaction, that peaceful tranquility, like a pond in autumn, one's eyes couldn't help but fall into it.
Although she is dissatisfied with her marriage with her brother, she should really love her children.
Thinking of it this way, Yuan Yi was relieved.
"Sister Yi, have you thought about the name of the child?" Yuan Yi said, showing a faint smile.He was originally a gentle and gentle person, and when he watched the happiness of others, he couldn't help but be infected by that happiness, and he had the same mood.
"After thinking about the baby name, I will call it 'Asheng'. The name should not be too serious when I was a child, otherwise, the child will be thrown away." She said solemnly about the folk customs, "When the child grows up, take the crown. name."
"'Sheng'..." Yuan Yi said with a smile, "it's a boy's name. Does sister Yi want a boy?"
"Yes." You raised the corners of his lips, thoughtfully, "Asheng must be a boy. Only in this way can he inherit the Jiguo family. If it is a girl, it will be terrible, and he will be married far away somewhere."
Yuanyi's smile froze slightly.For some reason, he felt a little uneasy, and the happiness that had been infected by Congyou earlier dissipated.A strange feeling permeated from the bottom of his heart: he actually felt that Ji Jun's love and affection for this child did not come from motherhood, but only from the desire for an heir.
"Sister Yi, I can..." He hesitated, but still tried to make his request, "Listen to what the child is doing? I have never seen what a child looks like in the womb."
You were a little surprised, but agreed with a smile: "Master Yuan seems to be more happy about the arrival of this child than His Highness."
Yuan Yi nodded embarrassedly, and said, "Although he is the son of my elder brother, when I think that he is also the son of Ji Jun, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart."
With Yu's consent, he carefully approached You's body, bent down to listen to the sound.You laughed helplessly: "The child is still very young, so he won't make a sound."
"...No, there is." Yuan Yi said, "A new life is born, and that has sound." Not only can he hear it, but he can also see it.
Although these words are a bit strange, Yuanyi felt that Ji Jun was pregnant, and he was as happy as if he had become a father.
