C946 Between Husband and Wife
"No." Lin Ruoxi smiled unhurriedly, not knowing what to say.
"I'm afraid you're thinking in your heart that it's no wonder that kid Yang Chen is so fickle. So it's because he's inherited from another generation, right?" Yang Gongming teased.
Lin Ruoxi's face was especially red because she had already been guessed at.
"Heh, back then I was different from now. Back then, there was a tight social situation and this offense of mine was a matter of principle. Unlike that kid Yang Chen, he's living happily now." Yang Gongming shook his head and laughed.
"Grandfather, let's not talk about this. Did grandma discover it then?" Lin Ruoxi quickly interrupted, not wanting Yang Gongming's image to completely collapse.
Yang Gongming said in shame: "Even if I die, I won't forget that scene...
I remember that day in my room, getting dressed and going out to see a woman. But I lied to your grandmother and said there was a private meeting and that it would be very late.
Your grandmother was very careful to tie my tie and asked me if I wanted to make some soup for sobering the wine.
I felt very guilty at the time, so I asked her out of the blue, 'Aren't you afraid that I'll do something behind your back? Why does it seem like there's never been any sense of crisis?'
I tried to make a joke of it, but I felt guilty myself, and I regretted saying it.
What do you think your grandmother said then? "
Lin Ruoxi shook her head dumbly. A hint of bitterness surged through her heart, as if that scene was being played right before her eyes.
Yan Sanniang, who had been standing still to the side, was also lost in thought, her eyes filled with longing.
Yang Gongming took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, "At that time, your grandmother smiled at me very gently, as if she didn't notice anything.
She said, 'No matter what you say, I will believe that' trust 'is the most important word between husband and wife, no matter what happens between them.
I stood there like a log, unable to move, and I remember, as if from the moment I met her, this woman, no matter what I said or did, was there, smiling at me, never suspecting a thing.
I remember that night, after I left the house, I asked the driver to stop in a park, not to see the woman, but to sit alone in a chair in the park and wait until midnight, when I asked the driver to buy me a bottle of dry wine from the roadside stand, and to take a couple of sips before going home.
After that, I cut all contact.
"However, I originally wanted her to live a happy life for the rest of her life, but I didn't expect her to have such a tough life. Her son passed away not long after he got married …"
As he said that, Yang Gongming's wrinkled face finally revealed a deep expression of sadness.
Yan Sanniang stepped forward and supported the elder's shoulders, saying, "Master, it has been decades. Madam is so kind-hearted, so she must be living a good life in the sky."
Yang Gongming nodded, "That's right, I am already a lot of years old. Maybe in a few more years, I will be able to reunite with her. "Although I didn't teach our son well, at least our grandson is still capable of it, my wife wouldn't blame me too much, right?"
Yan Sanniang's face was filled with grief as she said, "Master, your body is still as strong as ever. What are you saying?"
"Hehe ~" Yang Gongming shook his head and sighed: "Sanniang, if I leave, you can give yourself freedom too. My wife and I both owe you this life. We can only repay it in the next life."
"Master …"
Yan Sanniang couldn't help covering her face and wiping away her tears.
Lin Ruoxi, who had been listening to everything that had happened, suddenly felt cold drops of water fall on her thighs.
She subconsciously touched her eyes and found that they were already flooded.
The woman sniffed at Yao Yao in frustration and quickly wiped away the tears on her face.
Yang Gongming composed himself and grinned at Lin Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, you know, this garden was actually left behind by your grandmother. When she was here, I always thought that she was going to do some farm work instead of being a proper head lady.
But do you know what she told me? "
Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips into a smile and shook her head. "What did Grandmother say?"
"She said that people would cheat and deceive you, and people would repay your kindness with hatred, but the land would not. As long as you treat the land well, treat it well, and pay for it, the land would definitely give you the best results.
So she likes to deal with the land, she likes to fiddle with the vegetables and fruits, and she doesn't like to go to the faked parties. "
Lin Ruoxi listened with rapt attention, then smiled and said, "If I were a man, I wouldn't be like grandpa, who has such a good wife but still wants a woman outside."
"Oh? Girl, you're even starting to teach your grandpa a lesson." Yang Gongming said happily.
Lin Ruoxi's beautiful eyes were filled with warmth. After a long conversation with her family and elders, she was filled with a strong sense of satisfaction, and time flew by quickly.
At this moment, Yang Gongming extended his hand to Yan Sanniang, who was beside him.
Yan Sanniang took out a round, rectangular, purplish-red token the size of a palm from her sleeve and handed it over to Yang Gongming.
"Here, take it." Yang Gongming passed the purple-red token to Lin Ruoxi.
After Lin Ruoxi received the token, she looked at it with a puzzled expression. Only then did she realize that it was actually made of rosewood and had an overflowing fragrance.
On the token, there were fine carvings of two life-like ferocious beasts on both sides of the token.
"This is …"
"It's a qilin," Yang Gongming explained with a smile. "This token was carved from rosewood, a small piece of wood that my father had obtained from an Indian politician and was carved by a skilled craftsman.
After my father passed away, I kept it with me. Firstly, I reminisced about it, and secondly, the Yutang and the Qilin totem's protective talisman could repel evil spirits and avoid evil spirits. It should be a good thought. "
The leaf sandalwood of India was almost completely cut down in the Ming Dynasty, and even the Qing Dynasty was unable to recover its vitality, so it was still ridiculously precious to this day.
Upon hearing that it was from Old Marshal Yang Ye, Lin Ruoxi quickly declined. "Then grandfather, please take it back, it's too precious."
"Hey, just take it when I tell you." Yang Gongming smiled and said, "Grandpa knows that you must be feeling uncomfortable with that girl Cai Ning's attitude yesterday. Grandpa didn't mean to leave you in the cold.
However, that child Cai Ning suffered a lot for Yang Chen, so I can't treat her unfairly. Besides, you are fair and square, and she doesn't have any reputation. Of course, you have to give her some comfort in order to have a harmonious atmosphere.
I'll give you this purple sandalwood amulet as a token of my appreciation. Grandpa knows that kid Yang Chen definitely doesn't lack money, and giving you jewelry is also vulgar, so you should just accept this amulet. "
Hearing this, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but blush. "Grandfather, I'm sorry. I didn't think too much into it. I thought you didn't like me …"
"If I don't like you, girl, then I will definitely not let you into this house." Yang Gongming Lang laughed: "As that brat's lover, I don't care, but a girl who wants to enter the Yang Family family tree cannot be casually taken care of."
Lin Ruoxi heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. At the same time, she looked as if she had eaten honey.
"Young madam, in fact, many old generals of the military districts recognize this purple sandalwood protective talisman, as it is accompanied by the two generations of marshal of the Yang Family. If there is a need in the future, the young madam can use this protective talisman to directly request soldiers to guard the various Wu and Steel Regions of China. Of course, with Young Master Chen here, I'm afraid there's no chance of using it." Yan Sanniang added.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the talisman in her hand, which was emitting a faint fragrance.
It wasn't until lunchtime that Lin Ruoxi felt more comfortable after taking a bath and changing her clothes.
When they were having lunch together, Yang Chen suddenly said, "Wifey, I promise you whatever you want to do in the afternoon and at night."
Lin Ruoxi was a little confused, but she soon said in disbelief, "Why are you being so courteous? Are you playing your fake democracy with me again?"
"No." Yang Chen said gloomily, "When I calculated the date just now, I found out that today is August 6th, and the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. It just so happens to be the Seventh-Day Festival. We haven't had our Valentine's Day in February, so let's make it up to you this Valentine's Day. "
After a moment of astonishment, Lin Ruoxi said with a light smile: "Then accompany me to the Yanjing's commercial street. I still haven't properly run past the Yanjing."
"It's that simple?"
"Okay." Lin Ruoxi nodded. She originally didn't want that much.
Just as Yang Chen was about to agree, he heard the servants outside run in and reported: "Master, someone from Ning Family is here to deliver a note."
