Rebirth of the Second Young Master of the Ren Family
Chapter 31 Her Choice
Golden autumn in October is the harvest season.
Along the way, there are endless rice fields beside the official road paved with stone slabs. The golden ears of wheat sway with the wind, and the finely broken rice husks rise up in response to the breeze. The sunlight reflects the light spots of a good harvest.It was supposed to be a scene of busy and joyous farming, but because of the tension of the war, the busy farmers in the fields not only did not have the joy of harvest, but were obviously panicked.Whenever a chariot and horse galloped past them, they looked up in horror, for fear that it was an enemy attack.
The three of them who were chatting and laughing in the car calmed down because of this situation, the atmosphere was rather heavy, and they arrived at Binmen silently all the way.
It was evening when we entered Binmen.
Just when she got off the carriage and turned around to help Feng Niang get out of the carriage, a figure with the unique fresh breath of a girl has already flown in front of her: "Brother Xiao!"
Looking back, she was stunned: "Pingting?"
Pingting was dressed in water blue at this time, which made the girl's complexion fair and tender, and her round face was shining with joy.Concerned about people coming and going, Pingting stopped a step in front of him, pulled his sleeves and pouted and complained, "Brother Xiao, you still remember me!"
Ren Ren smiled, indeed, since the accident happened in the Wang family, he hadn't seen him again, counting with his fingers, it has been two months.He patted the girl's round shoulder and explained: "Of course I remember you. But why did you come here?"
Binmen is a military important place, how could she let a rich lady come in and out casually?
"Second brother is here too." Pingting quickly changed the subject.
"Wang Minghang?" Ren Ren was surprised, the case of the Wang family had just ended, shouldn't he be taking care of the business of the Wang family now, why did he come here.
"Second brother is here to join the army." Pingting said in a low voice.
Ren Ren was even more surprised.
At this time, Feng Niang leaned against the side of the carriage with her stomach in her hands, elbowed Lin Zesheng next to her, raised her chin at the scene of boys and girls talking, and smiled maliciously, "Xiaoshengsheng, your rival in love? "
Lin Zesheng smiled lightly, rubbed the place where she hurt, and said calmly, "You think too much."
Feng Niang raised her eyebrows, shrugged and said nothing.
But Lin Zesheng knew that even he couldn't convince himself, the girl looked at Ren Ren with blatant eyes, and anyone could see the unconcealed love in it.Knowing that such a young and innocent woman could not pose any threat to him, he still felt sour breath coming from his throat.
At this time, a group of people greeted them, interrupting the four people's respective thoughts.
"Lord Li." Ren Ren, Pingting, and Lin Zesheng stopped talking and saluted Li Zhoushou.But Feng Niang's expression changed slightly, and she went directly to the back of the carriage, trying to cover up her figure.
Li Zhoushou stroked his beard helplessly, and called out, "Feng Niang, don't hide."
With a pause in her retreating steps, Feng Niang reluctantly rubbed towards Li Zhoushou, stood in front of him, blessed her gracefully, and said in a low voice, "Brother."
Ren Ren opened his eyes wide in surprise, Feng Niang is actually Li Zhoushou's younger sister?Suddenly remembering that Fengniang's surname seems to be Li, I can't help feeling that the world is really small.
At this time, Lizhou Code had been looking sullenly at his sister with a big belly, and felt that his anger was rising, so he couldn't help but reprimanded him: "How old are you! You are still running around when you have a body, and you leave a letter and leave a letter." I ran to Binmen to escort the medicinal materials? Do you need to escort them? What if something happens..."
Feng Niang lowered her head as if admitting her mistake, she seemed to be being scolded obediently, but of course Li Zhoushou knew her sister, so she kept her mouth shut, only secretly angry: Don't think I didn't see you yawned just now !
"That's all." Li Zhoushou waved his hands weakly, he couldn't control the married girl, "Yi Shi is also here, waiting for you."
This sentence finally caught Feng Niang's attention, and she asked anxiously: "Why is he here? Didn't you tell him to wait for me in Zezhou City? How can his body withstand it!"
Li Zhoushou glanced at his sister, and called Ren Ren and Lin Zesheng to walk to the residence together.Feng Niang also swept away her indifferent look just now, and followed with some trepidation in her heart.
Pushing the door open, he saw Yi Shi in a dark blue long-distance running suit sitting in a wicker chair, leaning against the back of the chair with his eyes closed.Seeing them coming in, he opened his eyes, nodded and greeted the few people who came in, but skipped Feng Niang, as if he didn't see her.
Ren Ren cupped his hands at Yi Shi, and found that he had changed a lot since he hadn't seen him for more than two months.It is no longer the weak image before, the body seems to have grown flesh, the shoulders and chest have been able to support the large robe, and the cheeks have more blood and expression, but the elegant and indifferent temperament is the same as before.
"Xianggong..." Seeing that he was ignoring her, Feng Niang was even more disturbed, so she moved over in small steps, sat down next to him, and called out sadly, not as sharp and crisp as before.
Yi Shi glanced at her indifferently, then turned his head to greet Lin Zesheng.
Seeing this, Feng Niang's eyes were reddened with grievance, she simply reached out and grabbed Yi Shi's arm, gently shook her and said in a low voice: "Master, I was wrong, I will not run around in the future, don't be angry, treat your body not good……"
Ren Ren was amazed.Is it true that one thing surrenders another thing, Fengniang will be surrendered to death by a seemingly weak man, even begging for mercy.
Seeing that she was subdued, Yi Shi also turned his head to look at her, his face looked better, but he still refused to let go: "Explain, what's the big deal, you have to run to Binmen by yourself."
Feng Niang pouted and said frankly: "Who told you to watch me so closely, this is not allowed and that is not allowed, even if I am pregnant, I am not so fragile. Just at this time I received a letter, I read it I realized that the situation was urgent, so I hurried to Binmen to help, and I just took the opportunity to go out for a walk..."
"What is the emergency?" Yi Shi asked the aspirations of several people present.
"Cough cough..." Even if Lin Zesheng coughed dryly twice, of course he would not allow Feng Niang to continue talking. Could it be that he sent a distress letter in front of everyone, and that the so-called emergency meant that he was in a cold war with Ren Ren?
"Master, don't worry, Feng Niang is fine, I've been checking her pulse at any time along the way, mother and child are well. But after this journey, it's time for Feng Niang to rest."
As a doctor, Lin Zesheng rescued Fengniang with a few words, and the latter blinked at him as a thank you for his timely maintenance.Yi Shi didn't ask any more questions, and the couple went to rest hand in hand.
"Didn't Feng Niang go with the Chivalry Village?" Ren Ren said after seeing the two leave, he thought that Feng Niang escorting medicinal materials was the business of the Chivalry Village.
"No, Feng Niang and Yi Shi have already left Chivalry Village." Li Zhoushou said.
"What do you mean?" Lin Zesheng didn't know this, so he interrupted and asked.
"The husband and wife are tired of it. They handed over the Zhuangzi to the next few heads of the family. They decided to have a good time and let Fengniang concentrate on raising the baby. For 20 years, they have devoted themselves to this Zhuangzi, and they are tired. " Li Zhoushou shook his head secretly, he felt sorry for his sister's hard work, and also resented why her sister had to waste her good time with this sick man.
Lin Zesheng and Ren Ren looked at each other, and at the same time thought of the internal strife in Chivalry Village.Presumably the husband and wife are not only tired, but also bored, they simply got out of the vortex of power and lived a carefree life.
"Since Fengniang has been found, it's time for me to go back to Zezhou City." Li Zhoushou nodded slightly at the two, then turned to look at Pingting who had been standing dignifiedly, and said, "Clean up, we'll be leaving early tomorrow morning." .” After finishing speaking, he got up and went to say goodbye to his teacher.
"Pingting, why did you come here?" Ren Ren remembered the topic that had been diverted before.If it is said that Li Zhoushou came here because he was worried about his sister, then why did Pingting follow her.
"I..." The girl in blue opened her mouth, trying to say that I came to see you, but she couldn't.Taking a peek at Lin Zesheng who was standing with a smile on his face, he said in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, can I have a private chat with you?"
Ren Ren turned his head to look at Lin Zesheng when he heard the words, the latter nodded empathetically, walked out in a very graceful manner, and even helped close the door.But who knew that under the gentle smile, Lin Zesheng felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching his heart at the moment, and the lonely men and widows were chatting in private, what exactly was he going to say? !He wanted to lean against the door to eavesdrop, but secretly hated that the damn gentleman's demeanor made him unable to do this kind of behavior of listening to the corner, so he could only walk away with a sour smell all over his body.
"Okay, what do you want to say?" Ren Ren poured Pingting a cup of ginger tea and handed it over.He was not in good health, Lin Zesheng forbade him to drink green tea, and specially treated him with ginger tea to nourish his body.
"Do you know why my second brother wants to join the army..." Pingting murmured dazedly while holding the teacup, "A few days ago when the case between my family and the Wu family was tried, the identity of the second brother was exposed, and the Wu family regarded him as a The thorn in the eye is the thorn in the flesh, and I wish I could kill him quickly. Because they couldn't find any definite evidence that my brother framed the Wu family, they made a big splash about the elopement of the second brother and the eldest brother, and became a laughing stock in Zezhou City."
Taking a deep breath, Pingting looked up at Ren Ren, a trace of sadness flashed in her big round eyes: "We persuaded the second brother to leave Zezhou City to avoid the sharp edge, but we didn't expect that the second brother could not leave, but found that the name was so impressive. Appeared in the military list of this conscription. But he didn't sign up at all..." After a pause, he continued: "It was only later that I found out that someone was a hindrance and reported my second brother's name. Even he The handwriting is exactly the same, and even the handprints are identical. How can we rely on it now? We had to send my second brother to the battlefield. Not only that, my family’s business has been suppressed these days, and my eldest brother rushed to the battlefield. I went to the branch in Bianjing to take care of it, but was detained in Bianjing for a trumped-up charge. Only then did I know that there was an important official in the court standing behind the Wu family, and it was he who was behind the scenes. Even if I So what if the Wang family has a great career, if the people don’t fight with the officials, how long can we last..."
Ren Ren is also a little heavy, of course the love between brothers will not be accepted by the world, this is the result he expected a long time ago.As for the Wu family, he had indeed overlooked that collusion between officials and businessmen was not uncommon. The Wu family was able to jump to the second place in Zezhou in just a few years, and the officials behind them must have done a lot.This time, he was able to make a false declaration of conscription under Li Zhoushou's nose. I'm afraid this power is really not small.Even if Li Zhoushou wanted to protect the Wang family, Wang Mingyuan, who was detained in Bianjing, was beyond his power.
I don't know what to comfort the girl in front of me, so I can only pat her on the shoulder silently, talking about comforting her.
Holding the teacup tightly, Pingting's round face said softly with a bitter taste, "We're keeping the matter from the elder brother. He is very optimistic, saying that he just took this opportunity to make a contribution. He wants to stand up." In a high enough position, so high that no one dares to speak out about the rights and wrongs of my royal family, and high enough to be the family's shelter. But, how can the eldest brother wait? One day, he will die silently in that Benkyo. As for the second brother... Since the other party deliberately let him go to the battlefield, can he still make him feel better? Where is the battlefield? Swords have no eyes, and life and death are impermanent. ..."
At this moment, Pingting is no longer the youthful innocence she was when they first met. A series of changes have already made this lively and innocent girl grow up, and she began to worry about her family and family.Her gaze was tightly locked on Ren Ren, her big wet eyes implying a plea, and she said softly, "I can't help my eldest brother clear his charges, I can't help my second brother fight on the battlefield, but there is still something I can do. Second Young Master Ren ,Can you help me?"
She changed her name to "Second Young Master Ren", because she was interested in his father's status, right?Has such a pure and lovely girl learned how to use power and cling to relationships?Ren Ren looked at the vicissitudes of the young girl in front of him, feeling a little sad for her change, but he didn't speak rashly, he just signaled her to continue with his eyes.
Pingting gently placed the teacup in her hand on the table, making a crisp sound when it was bumped.She raised her head, looked at the young man in front of her, and flashed the previous scenes in her mind: when she first met, he stood out among the crowd to rescue her; during the free clinic, he taught her to identify herbs calmly; He took her pulse for fear that she would suffer from heat stroke; when something happened, he spoke up to defend her family...
Bursts of numb pain spread from her heart, and she knew that if she said the following, she would no longer have the right to enjoy his love and care, and would pull him to act coquettishly.What he loves is that simple and lovely Pingting, that brave and mischievous Pingting, not the ordinary woman who is full of scheming and disappears in the vastness of life.
But she has no choice, her family, and she wants to keep it safe.Even if she knew what the result would be, she still had to give it a try.The look of confusion and pain disappeared in a flash, and when she concentrated again, there was only firmness in her eyes: "Please help old general Ren, and send me to Zezhou's beautiful women."
"Pingting!" Ren Ren looked at her in shock, and said sternly, "You know what you're talking about!"
"I know." Pingting faced him calmly, her expression indifferent.
"You are not allowed to go, that is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones!" Ren Ren slapped the table fiercely and snapped.No one understands the darkness in the harem better than him, how could he watch the girl in front of him being swallowed by that place.
"But there is no faster way, is there?" Pingting looked at him with calm eyes, and said softly, "Only by standing beside the emperor, I have the right to speak. As long as I can save my My family, what are my sacrifices worth?"
"No!" Ren Ren's heart ached, he saw her eyes, so calm, almost a pool of stagnant water.He didn't know how to stop her. He knew that Pingting was a smart child. Since she made such a request, she must have thought everything through and made a decision.
"Brother Xiao." Pingting stood up, walked to his side, gently leaned her head on his weak chest, and smiled softly, "Actually, I have already registered my name in the list of show girls, no I have retreated. I came to find you today, just hoping that you can help me open the way so that I can get closer to the Emperor's Seat. So, don't stop me, okay?"
not good……
Ren Ren felt that his throat was choking, but he couldn't say these two words.
"Pingting, you don't have to enter the palace, I can help you too." Although the Ren family is stationed on the frontier, they are powerful in the court. If they want to protect her, they must be able to protect her.
Ren Ren grabbed her shoulders, looked straight into her eyes, and said softly, "Marry me, and my Ren family can protect you and your family, okay?"
Pingting stared at him blankly, something gradually emerged from the bottom of her eyes, it was an indescribable faint brilliance, scattered and then gathered, gathered and then scattered.She reluctantly looked away, looked at his eyebrows and eyes greedily, raised her hands gently, covering her mouth and nose that was almost choked up, smiling happily with tears in her eyes, and smiling sadly.
The man she loved proposed to her.
However, her answer could only be three words, one word after another, as if smashing something crisply: "I'm sorry..."
I'm sorry, but since you don't love me, I can't marry you.
I'm sorry, since I love you, I can't drag your family down.
Sorry, I can no longer love you, and I can no longer wait for you to fall in love with me, Brother Xiao...
Along the way, there are endless rice fields beside the official road paved with stone slabs. The golden ears of wheat sway with the wind, and the finely broken rice husks rise up in response to the breeze. The sunlight reflects the light spots of a good harvest.It was supposed to be a scene of busy and joyous farming, but because of the tension of the war, the busy farmers in the fields not only did not have the joy of harvest, but were obviously panicked.Whenever a chariot and horse galloped past them, they looked up in horror, for fear that it was an enemy attack.

"Lord Li." Ren Ren, Pingting, and Lin Zesheng stopped talking and saluted Li Zhoushou.But Feng Niang's expression changed slightly, and she went directly to the back of the carriage, trying to cover up her figure.
Li Zhoushou stroked his beard helplessly, and called out, "Feng Niang, don't hide."

"What is the emergency?" Yi Shi asked the aspirations of several people present.
"Cough cough..." Even if Lin Zesheng coughed dryly twice, of course he would not allow Feng Niang to continue talking. Could it be that he sent a distress letter in front of everyone, and that the so-called emergency meant that he was in a cold war with Ren Ren?

"No!" Ren Ren's heart ached, he saw her eyes, so calm, almost a pool of stagnant water.He didn't know how to stop her. He knew that Pingting was a smart child. Since she made such a request, she must have thought everything through and made a decision.
"Brother Xiao." Pingting stood up, walked to his side, gently leaned her head on his weak chest, and smiled softly, "Actually, I have already registered my name in the list of show girls, no I have retreated. I came to find you today, just hoping that you can help me open the way so that I can get closer to the Emperor's Seat. So, don't stop me, okay?"
not good……
Ren Ren felt that his throat was choking, but he couldn't say these two words.
"Pingting, you don't have to enter the palace, I can help you too." Although the Ren family is stationed on the frontier, they are powerful in the court. If they want to protect her, they must be able to protect her.
Ren Ren grabbed her shoulders, looked straight into her eyes, and said softly, "Marry me, and my Ren family can protect you and your family, okay?"
Pingting stared at him blankly, something gradually emerged from the bottom of her eyes, it was an indescribable faint brilliance, scattered and then gathered, gathered and then scattered.She reluctantly looked away, looked at his eyebrows and eyes greedily, raised her hands gently, covering her mouth and nose that was almost choked up, smiling happily with tears in her eyes, and smiling sadly.
The man she loved proposed to her.
However, her answer could only be three words, one word after another, as if smashing something crisply: "I'm sorry..."
I'm sorry, but since you don't love me, I can't marry you.
I'm sorry, since I love you, I can't drag your family down.
Sorry, I can no longer love you, and I can no longer wait for you to fall in love with me, Brother Xiao...
