Chapter 455： Fanwai Five Dimly Lighted Places

Chapter 455 Fanwai Five Dim Lights

Moth willow golden strands. Laughter filled with dark fragrance.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty discovered that Taifu Xiao, who had always been unsmiling, seemed to laugh at everyone this day.

Especially the relationship with the General Protector seems to be getting better and better.

Those who can have a place in the imperial court are not stupid. After a little inquiring, you will know that Ruan Lingjun, the major general of the Ruan family, and Xiao Deyin, the eldest lady of the Xiao family, just exchanged Geng invitations yesterday.

If there are no accidents, within half a year, there will be another pair of enviable young couples in the capital.

Now that they have found out, those exquisite minds immediately went to the two parties to congratulate them.

Xiao Deyin on the other side also began to prepare to go to the street to see which ready-to-wear shop has a good tailor.

As a result, when she just left the mansion and walked to the carriage prepared by the side, she saw Ruan Lingjun with a stiff expression walking back and forth under the wall at the entrance of their mansion.

"Major General Ruan?"

Xiao Deyin walked over directly and yelled softly.

The other party was obviously taken aback, and there was a strange tinge of red around his ears.

「You...how did you come out?」

Xiao Deyin was at a loss: "Why can't I come out?"

「Ah no...I mean...what is Miss Xiao going out to do?」

"Hmm... I'm going out... to do some shopping."

Xiao Deyin held his hands behind his back and looked away.

She didn't want to tell Ruan Lingjun that she was going to find a tailor to make her wedding dress when she went out.

Although... she is not a person who cares too much about other people's opinions.

But her mother repeatedly told her that women should not be too proactive in their relationships.

Indifferent... is the best way to tie a man's heart.

But Ruan Lingjun's heart is still hard to tell if he is with him, let alone say that it is tied.

Just as Xiao Deyin was thinking about it, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her and shook in front of her.

"Huh?" Xiao Deyin blinked his eyes, and looked at Ruan Lingjun who was withdrawing his hand in some puzzlement.

Seeing this, Ruan Lingjun straightened his back, but his eyes passed over Xiao Deyin's head: "I... I'm here to ask you out."

"Eh? You asked me out?" Xiao Deyin's eyes widened in surprise.

Ruan Lingjun's indifferent temperament actually asked her out? !

Afterwards, Ruan Lingjun coughed lightly and continued: "My mother asked me to invite you. She said that she would take you to see which tailor has a good craftsmanship. She will start preparing wedding dresses for you."

Mu Fei, who was hiding in the dark because he was worried about his silly son, had already darkened.

I really don’t know if being so straightforward...would it make other girls unhappy...

As a result, Xiao Deyin blushed and nodded after being surprised: "General Mu is interested, then... I will trouble Major General Ruan to accompany me."

Ruan Lingjun hummed, and pointed to the carriageway not far away: "Are you going to go out in a carriage?"

"correct…"

As soon as Xiao Deyin finished speaking, the tall figure who was still in front of his eyes had already walked towards the direction of the carriage on his own initiative.

Ok…

Xiao Deyin covered his lips with a soft smile, and then followed quickly.

Being accompanied by someone is better than being alone.

…

In the blink of an eye, five months have passed. Xiao Deyin and Ruan Ling's wedding in early summer arrived as promised.

Although the two got along better than before, Xiao Deyin still felt unreal like a dream when he was wearing a vermilion wedding dress.

It wasn't until Ruan Youqing and Li Ange came to accompany her for a while that Xiao Deyin felt that his breathing became easier.

For Ruan Lingjun, is she actually "love the house and the crow"?

Because she likes the Ruan family, she has an innate liking for Ruan Lingjun.

Until we get along with him a lot and understand him a lot.

The softest part of the heart is the real flowering.

Ruan Lingjun is really not good at talking, and he doesn't smile much.

Being kind to her was also because she was acquainted with Ruan Youqing at first.

But as they got to know each other better, Xiao Deyin gradually discovered that Ruan Lingjun still had many things that could attract her.

For example, although he seldom smiles on weekdays, when he smiles occasionally, there are two dimples on his cheeks; When teaching myself to ride a horse and hunt, she is strict but carefully guards her serious appearance.

Little by little came to my heart, and the corners of Xiao Deyin's mouth kept rising.

Until the wedding ceremony, after the church visit, she sat on the marriage bed belonging to two people.

She became a little nervous after realizing it.

Because Ruan Youqing had to take care of a pair of children, he had a conversation with her and left in a hurry.

Fortunately, Li Ange has a lively temper, so he pulled her to talk for a long time so that she wouldn't grab the wedding dress out of wrinkles due to nervousness.

However, just as he calmed down, Xiao Deyin heard the lively voices in the courtyard suddenly quiet down.

When Li Ange was about to go out to see what happened, Ruan Lingjun, the groom's official who was supposed to toast, walked in with a straight face.

Before Xiao Deyin could ask, Ruan Lingjun walked up to her and spoke up.

"sorry."

"Huh?" Xiao Deyin frowned slightly.

The wedding day...why did you say that suddenly...

With a shock in his heart, Xiao Deyin's voice trembled a little: "You...you don't want to regret the marriage, do you?"

Ruan Lingjun shook his head vigorously after hearing this: "No, it's just...I...I just received the imperial decree...to...go back to Changzhou City."

"Back to Changzhou City?" Xiao Deyin was taken aback for a moment, and then his face became serious.

She knew that if nothing happened, the emperor would not be able to issue an imperial edict on such a day.

"What happened to Changzhou City?"

Ruan Lingjun took a deep breath before speaking in a deep voice:

"The leader of the Jie tribe who surrendered at the beginning died of a serious illness. The Jie tribe was in civil strife, and an ambitious tribe took advantage of the chaos to harass Changzhou City. The general in Changzhou City was seriously injured because of an ambush. I... was sent by the emperor to Help the orthodox successor of the Jie clan to quell the civil strife and protect Changzhou City. Because I have already lost some time when I received the letter, so...I can't delay any more..."

Looking at Ruan Lingjun's frowning, Xiao Deyin pursed his lips, and reached out to hold the other's hand: "When are you leaving?"

"Tonight..." Ruan Lingjun looked at her with eyes full of guilt, his hands were extremely cold.

After receiving the answer, Xiao Deyin lowered her eyes, but soon, she raised her eyes to look at the other party: "Go, be careful on the road."

Marrying Ruan Lingjun, she must have some awareness.

As for the protection of Ningguo, Ruan Ye, the general who protects the country, has begun to withdraw slowly, and the rest belongs to Ruan Lingjun.

Ruan Lingjun held Xiao Deyin's hand with his backhand, his eyes were dim.

"Go, I'll wait for you to come back."

As soon as her voice fell, she felt a warmth on her lips.

Before she could react, she had already left.

"wait me back."

Watching her husband go to the frontier on the night of her wedding, Xiao Deyin didn't feel aggrieved.

Instead, I faintly feel that there is some heavy burden to bear.

Li Ange, who hadn't left all this time, walked over with reddish eyes, and called Xiao Deyin's name with a distressed face.

After a while, Ruan Youqing, who came back after hearing the news, also came to the room with Mu Fei to look for her.

Seeing everyone's concern for her, Xiao Deyin, who didn't feel wronged just now, finally couldn't help but turn red-eyed.

Until she was embraced by someone.

"Deyin, it is our Ruan family who are sorry for you. If Lingjun does something wrong to you in the future, I will definitely kick him out of the house! From now on, you will be my third daughter!"

Xiao Deyin, who had just brewed some bitterness, couldn't help but chuckled softly: "Mother, Ling Jun is here to guard our country of Ning. Deyin knows which is more important. Don't worry, Deyin won't blame him, the Xiao family Don't blame him."

As Xiao Deyin finished speaking, Mu Fei and Ruan Youqing looked at her with even more distressed eyes.

It wasn't until she repeatedly stated that she was really fine and left Ruan Youqing and Li Ange to accompany her that Mu Fei felt relieved and left.

One night, barely considered a good sleep.

On the second day after marrying into the Ruan family, Mu Fei sent someone to wait at the door early in the morning, saying that he would be exempted from all formalities of meeting. All you need is for the family to sit together and have a meal at noon.

So, Xiao Deyin spent two months at Ruan's house leisurely.

Until drinking with Li Ange one day, she suddenly felt empty in her heart.

It seems... a bit like her husband who went to the frontier.

Missing more and more intense, Xiao Deyin made a decision that night with the help of alcohol.

Until the next morning, I woke up from the wine.

Missing only increased, and that decision... was not impulsive.

After that, she told the Ruan family about her decision.

And Mu Fei and Ruan Ye confirmed her intentions again and again.

The whole family is neat, and the conversation lasted only a quarter of an hour. Mu Fei immediately found someone to help Xiao Deyin pack his luggage.

Early the next morning, under the protection of a group of highly skilled guards, Xiao Deyin set off for Changzhou City.

The journey went smoothly, and Xiao Deyin finally arrived in Changzhou City after he felt that he had gained some weight from eating and drinking.

The place where her husband is.

…

The Ruan family left a small courtyard in Changzhou City. In the past two months, Ruan Lingjun rested here when he was not fighting.

This day, he was going out as usual to buy something for dinner.

There are no slaves here, everything is done by yourself, and there is plenty of food and clothing.

However, just as he opened the door, he saw a figure stop at the door.

Looks like... wanting to knock on the door.

After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Ruan Lingjun slightly opened his mouth in shock.

「You...how did you come out?」

Xiao Deyin took a few steps back in a panic.

She hasn't figured out how to explain how she came to him suddenly.

I don’t know if the other party will feel that I am here to make trouble for him...

As a result, she was still struggling, and she had already been pulled into her arms by the other party.

After hugging her for a while, Ruan Lingjun gently pushed her away again.

「I...my clothes are not very clean...」

Ruan Lingjun finally spoke in embarrassment.

After hearing the other party's reason clearly, Xiao Deyin gave him a coquettish look, and then threw herself into his arms.

"Don't talk, let me hug you for a while. From acquaintance to marriage to now, this is the first time I can feel your real existence. Ruan Lingjun, I have decided, where you are, I will be there. From then on , you go to the battlefield to defend your home and country, and I will wash your hands and cook soup for you behind you."

At this time, Ruan Lingjun finally realized that her heart had been filled with the person in her arms before she knew it.
