109 109: The Couple (2)
The spring breeze is coming, with a faint floral fragrance. The warm sun of the spring morning spills into the house through the window lattice, the warmth of the room.
In the spring, there was a lot of life everywhere, and the tenant farmers in the plum village all went to the field early, and they were still humming the tune that the master of the plum village often beat the drum. Now the little master of Meizhuang has been awarded the Jinshi, and he has been named the Fengge Sheren, and he will soon have Princess Shang as his wife.
The tenant farmers of Meizhuang have always liked this little master very much, and now that they heard that he has a good fortune and can still be a princess as his wife, they are so happy that they walk with the wind.
The common people only think that Princess Shang as his wife is the emperor's grace, and how can they understand that the real high-ranking family even avoids Princess Shang like a snake and scorpion.
In the library of Meizhuang, two men are playing against each other. One person has gray temples and has passed the age of not being confused, and the other has black hair like satin, which is really high-spirited and has not passed the age of a weak crown.
Time flies, it is already March, and April is the time to become a princess. By then, he might not be in the plum village, right? Not necessarily, if the princess is willing, he can also come back to live in Meizhuang, and when the princess summons him, it is okay for him to go to the princess's mansion again.
In Song Shizhao's gentle cough, Song Jing, who was a little shaken, hurriedly retracted his thoughts and dropped the sunspot sandwiched between his index finger and middle finger.
"Your chess skills are much more exquisite than before, don't forget that your uncle taught you to play chess back then, and you can't beat your master so quickly as an apprentice."
When Song Jing heard this, he smiled slightly, "Compared to my uncle, Jing is still far behind." ”
Song Shizhao smiled and glanced up at Song Jing, "Don't be humble, you are better than the blue, and your uncle will only be happy about it." ”
Song Jing didn't squeak, playing with two white seeds in his hands, but his eyes were staring at the hundred-year-old tree outside the window.
Song Shizhao followed his gaze and said with a smile: "Towering old trees, a hundred years of wind and rain, standing on top of the sky." Uncle hopes that no matter where you are, you will eventually be like this cypress tree, standing up to the sky and the earth, not afraid of wind and rain. ”
It is not enough for the Song family to be in Chang'an, but if it is placed in Bingzhou, it is a high-ranking family. The Song family is just a thin incense in Song Jing's family, and the rest of the side branches are very good, and Song Shizhao also has several sons, but he has always cared about Song Jing's grandfather in the past and treated him like his own son, so after Song Jing's grandfather died, Song Jing spent more effort than his own son.
Song Jing: "Uncle, rest assured, Jing will definitely remember what you said today." ”
Song Shizhao has always been very relieved of Song Jing, he watched this child from staggering to learning to walk to now being able to stand up for the door, his moral conduct, Song Shizhao has never been worried, the only thing he is worried about now is that Song Jing is about to take Princess Shang as his wife.
Song Shizhao: "Although Princess Shang is a great emperor, it is not necessarily a good thing, what do you think in your heart?" ”
When Song Jing heard this, he lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, and his tone was unpleasant, "What does Uncle think Jing can think?" “
Song Shizhao was stunned.
Song Jing retracted his gaze and looked at Song Shizhao very frankly, and at the same time took in the worry that his uncle's face could not hide.
"Uncle, don't worry, the matter of Princess Shang is not something you and I can decide, since I have Princess Shang as my wife, the rules and responsibilities that should be obeyed will not be less."
When Song Shizhao heard this, he sighed and said: "Everyone else thinks that being a colt is infinitely beautiful, but I am worried that you will be unhappy. Princess Yongchang is favored, your stinky temper should be taken away sometimes, don't make other princesses angry. Know that you are not alone. ”
"Jing understands."
Song Shizhao looked at Song Jing who was sitting opposite him with heavy eyes, Song Jing has been like this since he was a child, standing like a bell and sitting like a clock, and his waist is straight and straight.
As the saying goes, it is easy to break if it is too rigid.
He has continued to nurture this child over the years. Song Jing was officially enlightened at the age of five, but at the age of three he could be catchy of the Tao Te Ching, and later he was worried that Song Jing would become a nerd by patronizing reading, so he would be too sorry for his ancestors, so he found a person who was good at drumming, Song Jing was probably a person who could calm down no matter what he learned. Including how to deal with people in a roundabout way, this kind of thing, Song Jing is very disdainful, he is very likely to politely talk to others and roll his eyes in his heart.
Song Shizhao is very satisfied with Song Jing and has always been at ease. Until...... The sage gave him a marriage and let him and Princess Yongchang hold a wedding in Chang'an County in April after the beginning of spring this year.
Song Shizhao felt that Princess Shang was bad news for both Song Jing and the Song family.
Everyone in the world thought that it was the smoke from the ancestral tomb of the Song family that allowed Song Jing to have this honor, but they didn't know that not everyone wanted to be the emperor's son-in-law.
Song Jing treats his family very kindly, and treats outsiders as long as he doesn't touch his scales, and he is a little cold and polite, but he is still a mallet inside, he doesn't say anything, and he may be mean in his heart. Song Shizhao didn't know what kind of person Princess Yongchang was, and the folk rumors must be praising Princess Yongchang, which was not credible.
Song Jing has always been arrogant, and now that he has Princess Yongchang as his wife, God knows what these two young people will look like.
The princess is not Song Shizhao's scope of worry, he is more worried about his nephew, will be tossed by Princess Yongchang when the time comes.
Song Jing seemed to see through Song Shizhao's concerns, raised his head, and a smile appeared on his face, Song Jing's smile in front of outsiders has always been just the right smile, and there is a little alienation and coldness in the politeness, but the smile he showed in front of his family was indeed sincerely smiling, and the natural coldness on his body was all gone, and it seemed that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were a little warm, and even a little childish.
Song Jing's eyes also bent slightly, and he said to Song Shizhao: "Uncle don't worry, Jing still has a lot of things to do, and he won't have anything to do with Princess Yongchang."
In fact, a few years ago, Xiao Mingyue Song Jing had no impression, the only impression was that when she went to the temple with her brother in men's clothes to offer incense, the first feeling in his heart when he happened to meet her: How can there be such a beautiful boy in the world? Later, when I looked at her words and deeds, I realized that she was a girl. Even if it was a girl, he thought that Xiao Mingyue was a naughty and cute girl at that time. Later, when he met her in Zhou's mansion last year, after several contacts, he felt that Princess Yongchang was really not gentle and virtuous, but it was true that she was a little freewheeling.
But these things don't say anything.
After all, she grew up in brocade clothes and jade food since she was a child, and Song Jing felt that it didn't matter how difficult Princess Yongchang was to serve, anyway, her princess's mansion would be full of maids assigned to her by saints and Her Royal Highness the Queen.
The princess's mansion is so big, and all people and things are at the disposal of Princess Yongchang, including...... He.
Song Jing exhaled softly and said to his uncle: "Uncle, don't worry too much, although I have never gotten along with Princess Yongchang in private, but when I heard Zhou Jitong, the fourth son of Princess Linchuan, talk about her, they all said that although she is a little willful, she is also a person who understands reason. ”
When Song Shizhao heard this, he sighed lightly, "I hope so." ”
Song Jing smiled, the black spot in his hand fell on the chessboard, and said to his uncle with a smile: "Uncle, how is Jing's move?" ”
Song Shizhao's eyes fell on the chessboard, he was stunned at first, and then laughed deeply.
"Uncle hopes that your career has been as steady as your chess path, but you have a surprising way to win, and you are unprepared to attack it unprepared."
“……”
In April of the first year of Tiaolu, Li Chen was fifteen years old.
In April of this year, it was the wedding date of Li Chen and Song Jing.
Princess Yongchang got married, and the wedding hall was held in Chang'an County. The princess's wedding car will go out from the Xing'an Gate of Daming Palace after dusk to Chang'an County. Two years ago, when the Taiping wedding, because there was no light after dark in the evening, torches were lit on the road from Xing'anmen all the way to Wannian County, and the torches dried the locust trees on the roadside. When it came to Li Chen's wedding, the chosen wedding date was a good day of nearly fifteen, as long as the day was sunny in the early stage, and the moonlight was bright at night, enough to illuminate the earth, as long as a little torch illumination.
The wedding was held at night, and Li Chen basically stayed in Fengyang Pavilion during the day. Because it was the wedding of Princess Yongchang, the county lord and Taiping, who usually had more dealings with Li Chen, entered the palace and chatted with her in Fengyang Pavilion to prepare for the wedding in the evening. At this time, Taiping had been pregnant for several months, and her whole look was different from before, Li Chen felt that Sister Taiping simply exuded a gentle and sacred maternal brilliance.
Because Sister A was going to surrender, Taiping had entered the palace the day before to accompany Li Chen, and she was worried that Li Chen would be nervous.
But after Taiping entered the palace, he found that he was wrong. Taiping remembered that when he was about to go out, he was nervous and uneasy and expectant, and he couldn't sleep at night, on the other hand, Li Chen slept very peacefully, and usually others tweaked with her as much as they wanted, and after fiddling with her, she was like a nobody, and she came to worry about Sister A's body now, whether the meal was fragrant, would she want to vomit, did the baby in her belly kick Sister Ah, these trivial things.
"Yongchang, aren't you nervous?" Taiping asked angrily and funny.
Li Chen was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and there were slowly two rows of palace maids standing behind him, all of them holding all kinds of things in their hands, the clothes, shoes and jewelry to wear at the princess's wedding, and all kinds of things, anyway, it was very cumbersome, Li Chen was powerless to complain when he saw that pile of things.
When Li Chen heard Sister A's words, he blinked and said, "Nervous, I'm so nervous that my heart is about to jump out." ”
Taiping frowned when he heard this, and his answer was too perfunctory.
