Gentle and Tender, Towering Rivers and Mountains (11)

When Situ Xiao heard her say this, he looked at the red and bright flower and said, "But this flower is fiery and red." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet. Mengzhu sighed and continued: "But the Buddha doesn't know, he was on the Santu River, the flowers that were faded by the river water dripped all the red into the river, and he wailed all day long, which made people feel sad, and the Jizo Bodhisattva was very powerful, and when he learned that the mandala Hua had been born, he came to the river, took out a seed and threw it into the river, and after a while, a flower that was more red and bright than before grew out of the water, and Jizo took it in his hand and sighed: You got out and got free, why do you want to leave this boundless hatred in the boundless hell of the already bitter sea?" I will ask you to be a guide messenger to guide them to samsara, just remember your color, there is already a mandala on the other side, so let's call you mansa beads.

Since then, there have been two completely different flowers on the other side of the world, one grows on the other side and the other is born on the side of the Santu River. Life and life, forever and forever. ”[

"Such a festive flower, but there is such a sad story. Situ Xiao sighed, suddenly saw Mengzhu leisurely sad, and said with a smile: "It's just a legend, you don't like it, don't just be." ”

He reached out to take the flower in her hand, and she turned to the side and dodged it, "Who said no?" Remembering what he had just done, his eyes moistened again: "Don't do such a risky thing again!"

He hugged her waist and smiled: "You just want the clouds in the sky, I will also pick them for you, even if you break your bones, I am willing!" She beat him hard: "You say it again!"

Situ Xiao seemed to hear a movement, and looked at the intersection of the mountain, and after a while, Ruan Jingyuan came up with the guards on horseback. Situ Xiao looked at Mengzhu and spread his hands: "Okay, I can't be at ease!" and then said, "It's just right, let's go hunting!"

The two untied the horses tied under the trees, sat on horseback, and entered the forest along the fork in the road.

It wasn't until noon that Ruan Jingyuan saw that the guards had all kinds of prey in their hands, and then proposed to go down the mountain.

Situ Xiao followed Mengzhu to her house, and there was no stool in the room, so he sat down on the edge of the bed, and watched her arrange flowers on the bamboo tube. Seeing that there was no response, he looked back at him, and Situ Xiao had already fallen asleep on the edge of the bed.

Mengzhu didn't dare to alarm him, gently pulled the quilt up and covered him, and tiptoed out to ask Ruan Jingyuan outside: "Did the young marshal stay up late last night?"

Ruan Jingyuan nodded: "I haven't slept all night, and I came to you early in the morning." ”

Mengzhu went in to help him lie down, he didn't sleep all night, and he tossed on the mountain for most of the day, which would only be afraid of thunder and would not wake up.

Situ Xiao has made a lot of efforts, and the battle situation has been so deadlocked, and there has been no progress at all, and he does not dare to relax at all.

On this day, Mengzhu found two old newspapers, and the newspapers on the wooden board in front of the bed were a little broken. I accidentally saw a report that said that the Chengjun was expanding its power with the support of foreigners. Mengzhu suddenly had a thought, turned around and went to find Situ Xiao.

Situ Xiao was startled when he saw that she was out of breath and came to him panting, usually he went to see her when he had time, and she would not take the initiative to come to him if there was nothing important. Mengzhu told her thoughts, and Situ Xiao felt that it was a good way to turn the situation around, and he would only make arrangements after the meeting.

A few days later, Chen Ran and Kong Zhiming accompanied Mengzhu to leave Huaiyang and go north to meet an important person who could change the fate of the Yujun army and turn the entire battle around.

Several people traveled to Pingjin, and through some efforts, they met Mr. George, the British ambassador to Pingjin.

George received Mengzhu very warmly, and Mengzhu stayed in Pingjin for a week, choosing the best time to explain her intentions to George.

In addition to considering all aspects, the deep friendship between George and Mengzhu played a very key role, and George promised to consider Mengzhu's suggestion and find an appropriate time to discuss with Situ Xiao in person.

About half a month later, the meeting between Szeto and George made substantial progress, and Britain would put pressure on the central government, and eventually Szeto Shaw's friends would re-enter the central government, on the condition that they be given a series of preferential policies.

On the battlefield in the south, Situ Xiao turned against a veteran of Shi Zhibang's subordinates, this veteran and Shi Zhibang have always had political disagreements, and their styles are very different, and they can't get Shi Zhibang's attention, but because of the heavy military order in his hand, Shi Zhibang can't help it, Situ Xiao took the risk of taking this step out of chess, and met the veteran single-handedly, the two talked very happily, and they hit it off at first sight, and the old general agreed to cooperate with Situ Xiao.

Just when the central government was changing internally again, the old general and Situ Xiao responded to each other and broke Shi Zhibang's frontline troops in Luning, Jingyan and other places in one fell swoop, and the battle situation underwent a qualitative change.

Situ Xiao took Mengzhu back to the Huaiyang Military Headquarters.

On this day, a small celebratory reception was held in Huaiyang, inviting officials of all sizes in the army and celebrities in Huaiyang City, Situ Xiao told Mengzhu with a mysterious smile that he wanted to give her a special gift during the dinner.

Mengzhu has been speculating all day long, what kind of mysterious gift Situ Xiao will give her?

In the evening, Sister-in-law Hui brought her a set of evening dresses and a pair of leather shoes, saying that Situ Xiao asked Ruan Jingyuan to send them.

Mengzhu opened it and saw that a golden thin silk tunic gown, the front chest and hem were golden lace, and the left chest was inlaid with a golden six-petal silk flower, with a huge yellow diamond in the center of the flower, surrounded by dense small white diamonds, like thousands of twinkling stars around the sun that had just woken up, each blooming with shining light.

The leather shoes are also small gold heels, with a gold chain around the ankle and also studded with small white diamonds.

Mengzhu is worn on his body and feet, as if it is tailor-made, and it is very soft and comfortable, knowing that it must be a product deliberately obtained by Situ Xiao, but I am afraid that it has been painstakingly prepared for it for some time. Is this what he was going to give her? Probably not, so what kind of special gift was he going to give her so solemnly?

Looking at his gorgeous lady-like figure in the mirror, he was fascinated when he heard Siying's cheerful voice outside: "Mengzhu!"

Mengzhu responded: "Here, come in!" Si Ying wore a lotus leaf green evening dress, and floated in as light as a blue wave fairy.

Mengzhu exclaimed: "Siying, how can it be so beautiful?"

Si Ying looked at Mengzhu carefully from top to bottom for a long time, and said in surprise: "Don't say that Huaiyang doesn't have it, I'm afraid that Yunzhou can't get it, how did the young marshal do it in such a short time?"

Mengzhu shook his head: "Isn't it a little too grand?" Si Ying took her hand and smiled: "What's grand, you are the hero of the Yujun, no matter how grand it is, not to mention that in the future, when the young marshal dominates the country, you will be the mother of the country!"

Mengzhu glared at her and scolded: "I know how to make fun of people, and I don't have a serious word!"

"Don't you want to?" Mengzhu saw Siying coming over to look at her face, turned around and said angrily: "Come and urge me again, this will not be in a hurry, let's go!"

The two came to the hall hand in hand, the hall was carefully arranged, the top was hung with flashing colorful flowers, the crystal lamp emitted brilliant brilliance, and the whole hall looked golden and brilliant, a festive color.
