The stars are full, the moon is full, and the gentle breeze is blowing.
Just when Liang Qin was wondering why his menstruation hadn't come yet, Wei Changtian had already walked outside the side courtyard where Yang Liushi lived.
Looking at the candlelight burning in the room, he stood outside the courtyard for a while, then took a breath and stepped forward again.
"Dong dong dong."
Cross the small courtyard and knock on the door.
The sound of turning books inside the door suddenly stopped, and soon that all-too-familiar voice sounded.
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong?"
It was obvious that Yang Liushi regarded him as a maid.
"Ahem, it's me."
Wei Changtian coughed dryly and heard the sound of cabinets opening and closing in the house, and soon the door in front of him was slowly opened.
"Son."
Yang Liushi stood inside the door, her long hair spread behind her, and the warm yellow candlelight was soft over her shoulders.
She turned aside to let Wei Changtian into the room, and asked with a smile:
"Aren't you going to have peace talks with Yan Huaiqing tomorrow? Why are you here so late?"
"You also know that I am going to have peace talks tomorrow."
Wei Changtian deliberately joked: "Then I haven't seen you show any concern in the past few days?"
"I really want to care about you, but I can't find you."
Yang Liushi was not annoyed. She walked to the table with a smile and poured water for Wei Changtian: "Besides, with Mr. Chu here, I believe there will be no problems in the peace talks."
"So you just stay indoors and read books all day?"
Curling his lips, Wei Changtian picked up an ancient book on the table.
This book is obviously very old, the title on the cover has long been blurred to the point of being indistinguishable, and the content is also incomplete.
Wei Changtian flipped through a few pages at random. Although it was quite difficult to read, he could see that this was not some art of war, but an ancient medical book.
"Medical book? Why are you reading this book?"
After glancing at the other books on the table and realizing that they should all be medical books, Wei Changtian couldn't help but be a little surprised: "What? Do you want to study medicine?"
"Goose goose, this is just a whim."
Yang Liushi smiled and took the ancient book, closed it, and carefully put it in one place: "I'm free anyway, so I'll find something to do to pass the time."
"real?"
Wei Changtian frowned, feeling that Yang Liushi was deliberately hiding something.
"If you really want to study medicine, just study it. There is no need to hide it."
"Besides, it's not the right way for you to read these medical books yourself. Why don't I find a doctor with superb medical skills in Liangzhou to teach you..."
"No need."
Yang Liushi shook her head and interrupted with a serious look on her face: "Sir, I really just took a casual look."
"..."
Looking at Yangliu Shi, Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment.
Of course he remembered why he came tonight, so in the end he didn't ask about the medical books anymore. He just slowly walked to the table and sat down, and brought the topic back to business.
"Liu Shi."
"I have something I want to discuss with you."
"..."
The candlelight flickered slightly, and the room suddenly fell into silence.
Wei Changtian is still searching for the organizational language, trying to figure out how to say it better.
But Yang Liushi reacted quickly and shook her head gently.
"Young master, you don't have to say it, everyone in the slave family understands."
"It's not my great-grandfather's fault, let alone you."
"If you want to blame me, I just have to blame the slave family for being a demon."
"The Nu family has already thought clearly. If it weren't for the young master, the Nu family would have died when Xiao Feng captured him in Yanyun Mountain. How could he still be alive today?"
"So the only thing the slave family wants in this life is to be with the young master all the time."
"As for the rest...compared to not being able to give birth to a child for the young master, the slave family is even more unwilling to see the young master become displeased with people close to him because of me and this child, or even be despised by the world.
"
"Young master, I'm just a little demon in a mountain of 100,000. It's because you have seen the prosperity of this world and understood what love is."
"The ancients said that husband and wife should help each other and share weal and woe."
"Young master has done so much for the slave family. Even if the slave family can't help you with anything, at least they can do it without holding the master back."
"Master, don't forget that you still have sisters Wan'er, Qin'er, and Yao'er."
"If one day the slave family really gives birth to a child of the young master, but the surname is not Wei... what will they think then?"
"Sir, I don't want to have a day when I don't know how to face them, I don't want to be secretly told by my servants one day, and I don't want to have to leave you one day."
"For this reason, I don't have to ask for anything..."
Having said this, Yang Liushi paused.
The moon was full and bright, and the silver light fell on her body and also on Wei Changtian's body.
Yang Liushi turned to look at the full moon outside the window and said softly:
"People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This has never been the case in ancient times."
"Sir, I really understand this poem now."
"There will never be a perfect moon every night in this world, nor will there be anyone who is satisfied with everything."
"So, the slave family is already satisfied."
"real......"
"..."
At the end of the day when the sad wind comes, the full moon shines through the scenery.
Under the shadow of the bright river, I could still see the few stars.
Looking at Yang Liushi blankly, listening to her words... Wei Changtian didn't know what to say in reply to her.
What needs to be said and what can be said has been said in Yangliu Shi.
And since she can say this so calmly, it means she must have been thinking about it for a long time.
Even these words sound more like trying to persuade myself not to feel too guilty...
You also have Xu Qingwan, Liang Qin, and Lu Jingyao, and you may have other wives and concubines in the future.
They can all carry on the family lineage for you, so it doesn't matter whether I can do it or not.
Furthermore, if we do give birth to a child in the future, the Wei family's attitude towards the child will most likely expose my identity to more people, which may result in me having to leave you.
I don't want to leave you, and I don't want to bear the strange eyes of the world, so I would rather not have this child.
This is my own choice and has nothing to do with you.
Now, I am very content...
It is not known whether Yang Liushi is truly "contented", but she did say so, and her purpose must be to dispel Wei Changtian's guilt.
For this reason, she even recited the sentence "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes." She used a poem "composed" by Wei Changtian himself to persuade him to feel at ease.
but......
Just as what Yang Liu's poem means, even if she cannot give birth to an heir for Wei Changtian, it does not affect that the latter can still be a father.
But to borrow the phrase "I only have you" that Comrade Xiao Xu once said to Wei Changtian before, this comfort is undoubtedly based on the premise of "sacrifice" himself.
After all, to Yang Liushi, she only has Wei Changtian.
And this means she will never be a mother again.
It is true that people have joys and sorrows, and that the moon waxes and wanes.
But we should know that the moon is reunited every month, so how can such shortcomings in life be compared with the moon?
Wei Changtian naturally understood this, so he felt very uncomfortable at the moment.
What's more, he didn't come today to persuade Yang Liushi to "get the general idea", he just wanted to discuss with the latter what to do so that their future children could be accepted by the Wei family.
Therefore, he was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly wanted to say something.
However, before she could say a word, Yang Liushi suddenly lowered her head and whispered:
"Sir, you have important things to do tomorrow, so you should rest early tonight."
