186.Xia Ji's Troubled Times (26)

The peach blossoms are dying, scorching their bloom.

The beautiful woman stood sideways beside a bright peach blossom tree, and her posture was extremely graceful. The peach branch trembled slightly, she gently raised her right hand, broke off a peach blossom, sniffed it lightly on the tip of her nose, suddenly turned around, and bloomed a brilliant smile, like spring ice breaking and autumn water slight.

Qu Wu smiled at the beautiful woman who was haunted by his dreams, intoxicated by this smile, and forgot for a moment when and where he was. He opened his mouth to call the name of the beautiful woman, but he could feel the name on his lips, but he couldn't remember it.

Qu Wu was in a hurry, opened his eyes, and found that he was in a squeaky carriage outside. The curtain of the carriage was lightly hidden, and the sun of the westward slope shone through the gap in the curtain, forming a golden arc at the top of the chariot.

It turned out to be another dream! Qu Wu curled the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly. These days, he wondered if it was because he missed her more often, so he dreamed of her a lot more.

Every time in her dreams, she smiled at herself either gently or brightly, and when she wanted to hold her hand or talk to her, she couldn't catch her or say it.

"My lord, more than 100 miles ahead is Wanqiu. A sentry came to spread the word that the prince and Mrs. Xia had brought many people to greet us in the Wangfeng Pavilion in front. ”

Qu Wu's heart jumped suddenly, and he lifted the curtain to see that it was his own guard commander who was talking outside. looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw a large number of people in the black.

"Go and tell the eldest brother and the old lady that they can be prepared. When we first came here, we couldn't afford to be rude. Qu Wu pondered for a moment and ordered.

"Yes!" the commander retreated with a fist.

Qu Wu looked into the distance, and at a glance, he found the figure that frequently appeared in dreams from the center of the dense crowd, as always graceful and unique. His heart was almost leaking.

Old Mrs. Qu was originally a little dissatisfied with Xia Ji because of her age. However, when she really saw Xia Ji, this dissatisfaction disappeared at once.

Xia Ji doesn't look old like other women of the same age, she has both the youth and beauty unique to a girl who is just and straight, and the maturity and charm that a girl of that age does not have. These two temperaments, which could not have appeared at the same time, were strangely fused together in her body.

As soon as Old Madam Qu saw Xia Ji, she felt that her previous worries were really unnecessary. Although she still thinks that a woman of this age should not be able to have children, but when she sees Xia Ji, she just thinks that this idea is redundant, and she doesn't know why.

Either way, she was satisfied with the woman. Only such an extraordinary woman can make her youngest son fall in love with her! Thinking of this, Old Madam Qu glanced back at Qu Wu, and saw that his eyes were stuck to Xia Ji's body, without blinking, as if blinking would waste his time looking at her.

Old Mrs. Qu originally thought that she could drink the tea of her youngest son's daughter-in-law soon, but she didn't expect that after Qu Wu came to Chen Guo, she would devote herself to the Qu family's roots in Chen Guo and the governance of Chen Guo, but she didn't mention Xia Ji's affairs.

Because the scenery of Zhulin is the most pleasant, Xia Ji asked people to build a new mansion next door to the Xia Mansion in Zhulin early and repair it properly to house the Qu family. When the Qu family moved to Chen Guo, they were just able to move in directly. This incident made Old Madam Qu's perception of her much better.

Qu Wu kept silent and didn't mention Xia Ji's matter, and Old Madam Qu was secretly anxious. If he didn't hurry, she was afraid that she would never have the chance to see her youngest son get married in her life. Because there are really too many people pursuing Xia Ji, and there are all kinds of conditions.

Seeing that when Qu Wu came to see her, she unconsciously looked at the Xia Mansion in a daze, and Mrs. Qu felt that her youngest son was probably too deep in love, but he was cowardly. Because he cares too much about the other party's every move, he is afraid of being rejected, but he does not dare to act rashly.

Mrs. Qu thought about it for two days and decided to help her son settle the matter. She asked people to study ink, wrote a letter herself, took out a green and transparent heirloom jade bracelet, and sent a very low-key team to take it to Zheng Guo.

Half a month later, the team came back and brought back a nobleman.

Old Madam Qu brought a few veiled women into the palace to meet Chen Linggong.

Chen Linggong looked at the several Miao girls in front of him who had bumpy figures, completely different from the ordinary Han women's clothes, and was very happy, and agreed to the request made by Old Madam Qu without thinking about it.

Mrs. Qu obtained Chen Linggong's will to marry and returned home satisfied. chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, took the noble man invited from Zheng Guo, and ordered people to carry boxes of gifts to the Xia Mansion next door. The boxes containing the gifts were carried all morning, and they were not finished.

There happened to be a lot of people in Xia Mansion today, and Xia Nan's helpers such as Yang Tongue were here to discuss the matter of traveling. There's been so much going on lately that they want to relax. But when they saw this formation, everyone who was going out looked at each other and stayed to watch the excitement.

The first thing Xia Ji saw was her mother, Yao Zi.

Yao Zi is now a concubine. Zheng Mugong died shortly after Xia Ji got married. Yao Zi was the most favored during Zheng Mugong's lifetime, and she had no children around her, and after Zheng Mugong passed away, many people bullied her, and she was not happy in Zheng Guo. Xia Ji seems to be doing well on the surface now, but Xia Nan is the prince, so there is still a big political risk, so he didn't take her over. I didn't expect her to be here.

Mrs. Qu asked her to bring the Qu family's heirloom to Yao Zi, telling her that she hoped she could come to witness her daughter's happiness, and Yao Zi herself missed Xia Ji very much, so she came. Now I am really happy to see my daughter doing well.

She stepped forward to hug her daughter in a few steps, and the two of them shouted and asked for warmth and told each other about their longing. Old Madam Qu kept smiling and watching from the side, and when it was almost time, she took out the holy decree of Chen Linggong to give her marriage and talked about the marriage.

Although Chen Linggong is not a good king, he is the orthodox monarch of Chen after all. His will, unless it is particularly absurd, is generally not to be disobeyed. What's more, this marriage will has combined Xia Ji and Qu Wu, the most reliable pillar of Chen Guo today, which is only good for Chen Guo and not harmful. From the word "reason", Xia Ji is not easy to refuse.

Old Madam Qu invited Xia Ji's mother, Yao Zi, to do Yao Zi's work, and asked her to persuade her daughter. Yao Zi agreed to this marriage, and from the word "love", Xia Ji is not easy to refuse.

Moreover, the dowry given by the Qu family is better than that of the girls who married Wang Qing for the first time, which can be described as full of sincerity.

Old Madam Qu specially picked up the Xia Mansion when there were many people to propose marriage, which obviously did not give Xia Ji room to refuse! If she refused, the two families would not be able to get along well in the future.

Everyone on the sidelines was secretly sighing at the old lady's methods. However, they all supported Mrs. Qu from the bottom of their hearts. Because they basically got Chen Guo from Qu Wu, how infatuated Qu Wu was with Mrs. Xia, after a long time, they could all see it. Such talented and beautiful people, standing together, they all feel very beautiful.

Xia Ji's beautiful eyes swirled, swept through everyone, and finally landed on Xia Nan's body. In the original owner's wish, marrying Qu Wu was originally necessary, and there was a voice in her heart urging her to agree, she just cared about Xia Nan's attitude.

Xia Nan has always admired Qu Wu very much, and at first he recognized him as his father. After a long time, he naturally saw that most of the things he did for himself were actually for his mother. After his father died, Xia Nan remembered how much his mother suffered for herself. If she can have a home like her master, she will also be very relieved.

So Xia Nan nodded firmly at Xia Ji.

Xia Ji saw it, smiled slightly, then turned to Yao Zi, bowed her head slightly, and said with a flushed face: "Daughter, listen to her mother's orders." ”

There were happy smiles on everyone's faces.

Xia Ji married Qu Wu on an auspicious day according to the arrangement of Mrs. Qu and her mother Yao Zi. Since then, it has become Qu Ji.

After Qu Wu picked off the red hijab with a joy scale, he held the cheek of the beautiful woman in front of him, and solemnly promised: "No matter what the world is, I promise you a stable life." ”

And then, he really did.

With Qu Wu here, Xia Nan inherited the throne of King Chen without accident. Then he worked hard to govern the country, reused his talents, and ran the state of Chen from a very weak country among all the countries to a hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is known as "King Chen Zhao" in history.

Qu Ji no longer has any big troubles in her life. There are their own mothers, children, and husbands in the forest, and all their relatives are alive and well, and they are dying happily.

Xia Nan married Qu Ci's only daughter-in-law. His mother told him that he didn't need to marry anyone for Chen Guo's grievances, and that would be unfair to that girl. But he didn't marry her for the sake of the other party's family lineage.

For the first time, Xia Nan saw the girl carrying a flower hoe and transplanting peach trees, as if she saw her mother when she was young. She said that the peach trees she planted were the most beautiful and the sweetest peaches they produced. It's exactly the same thing my mother said to me when I was a child. Therefore, he felt that this must be a girl to be cherished, so he married her back home.

Sure enough, after marriage, the two had a similar temperament, Qin Se and Ming, and had a very happy life.

Old Mrs. Qu didn't expect Qu Ji to give birth to a child for her youngest son. Although she is only a daughter, she is also very satisfied. This is the biological bloodline of the youngest son, and if she recruits a good husband in the future, she can inherit the incense of this branch.

The development of the sheep's tongue in Chen Guo's career was smooth, and it couldn't be smoother anymore. But his marriage was always not going well. The matchmaker introduced him to a number of good girls, and there were also several who talked about marriage, but at the last moment, there were always various situations. In the end, he was disheartened, and he was as single as Qu Wu was back then.

Qu Ji and Qu Wu's daughter Junyi is growing up, and she especially likes to play with her uncle and brother. That's right, it's Uncle Xiang's brother. Although he was thirteen or fourteen years older than her, he was of the same generation as her. Because he is the younger generation of his father and the good brother of his brother Zhengshu.

Once, Xiao Junyi pulled Shu Xiang to play again, and when Shu Xiang showed a doting smile to Xiao Junyi, Qu Ji and Qu Wu glanced at each other, and both of them showed a tacit smile on their faces.

The six new nobles of Han, Zhao, Wei, Zhi, Bank of China, and Fan of the Jin Kingdom had a violent conflict with the Jin royal family, and in the confrontation between the two sides, the sheep tongue family, which was the supporter of the Jin royal family, was slaughtered by the family, and only one sheep tongue was left in the sheep tongue branch.

The sheep's tongue was heartbroken, but he couldn't go to the Jin Kingdom. Because even if he was far away in the state of Chen, he was assassinated three times. Xia Ji, Xia Nan, and Qu Wu were unwilling to let him leave the Chen Kingdom, as his life would be in danger.

Qu Ji and Qu Wu discussed it, and decided on the marriage of Yang Yu and Jun Yi. It is claimed to the outside world that the sheep's tongue has entered the Zoqu Mansion. From then on, the pursuit of the sheep tongue stopped. Because joining the family means breaking away from the original family.

Qu Ji and Qu Wu privately told the sheep tongue that it was just a stopgap measure. In the future, their children can pick one out to inherit the incense of the sheep tongue family.

The sheep tongue is facing people who are really good to themselves, and they are marrying girls who they love unconsciously to the bone marrow, so naturally there is nothing unwilling. When he happened to think of Qu Ji's request that he not be able to enter the Jin Kingdom as an official, he would think, could this be the will of heaven in the dark?

"You actually instilled a dream in Qu Wu for the sake of the smooth progress of the task of the Han Ruo Fairy! And you have instilled it so many times! Do you know that this will have an effect on your recovery?" the Jinjiang Immortal chattered endlessly to the grim man next to him.

"As for. The grim man replied directly with an expressionless face.

"You ......" Jinjiang Immortal was so choked that he couldn't speak, pointed his finger at the other party for a long time, and finally said dejectedly: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”

The Jinjiang Immortal touched the back of his head, turned around and wanted to walk away, leaving the person in front of him. But as soon as he took two steps, he realized that he could no longer walk.

"Hey, what are you going to do, let go of me!" the Jinjiang Immortal roared.

"Don't do anything, help you do things. This immobilization technique only has an hour to go, and it will be solved by itself when the time comes. The man next to him said coldly, and at the same time snatched the book in the hands of the Jinjiang immortals.

The Jinjiang Immortal watched as the man in front of him took his things, and in three or two steps, he turned into his own appearance and turned away, almost collapsing.

"Hey, you're back!

However, no matter how much he shouted, the people in front of him walked away without looking back.

When Han Ruo returned to the bank of the Lechuan River, he saw the Jinjiang immortals waiting there at a glance. It's just that his style today seems to be still cold. Han Ruo thought of his suddenly lively and funny and cold and silent style, and couldn't help but stare at him intently.

"This is what the Peach Blossom Fairy gave you. Absorb it quickly!" The "Jinjiang Immortal" seemed embarrassed to be watched by Han Ruo, and reached out to hand over a peach blossom that bloomed gracefully.

It's important to get down to business. Hanruo closed his eyes and absorbed the blessing power of the pink in the peach blossoms, and by the way, he also absorbed the aura hidden in the peach blossoms.

"This is the next mission, only this time. When the "Jinjiang Immortal" saw her open her eyes, he handed the information to her.

"It's almost over!" Han Ruo was about to jump with joy, "Please send me over quickly! ”

"Okay!" "Jinjiang Immortal" still had a cold expression, but there was a smile in his eyes.

He waved his sleeves, and a soft force carried Han Ruo away quickly. He stood in place, watching Han Ruo turn into a black dot in the sky, and then disappear, still standing still, I don't know how long it took.

"Hey, how long have the people been gone, are you still standing here, determined to be a woman's stone?" The voice of the hippie smiling face of the Jinjiang Immortal came from behind.

"Jinjiang Immortal" regained his original appearance in the blink of an eye, and looked behind him coldly.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it, it's okay! I still have something to do, so I'll go first! You continue to be your lookout stone!" Jinjiang Immortal felt cold on his body, and hurriedly prepared to slip away, and before leaving, he stimulated the other party again, and then quickly turned around and left.
