70. Sunny threads
Wanwan panicked for a moment, feeling embarrassed after being poked. She didn't expect him to come back so soon, and she didn't expect him to find out so in time, as if she had deliberately set up a trap, she was so stupid that she actually plunged into it.
He looked down at her, condescending, with a strange look in his eyes. Since there is no way back, it is better to make it clear. She evened out her breath and said, "You came just in time, I have something to ask you." ”
He nodded, "You've been to my study." ”
Wanwan gritted her teeth and said, "I was just looking for a book, but I didn't expect it...... What's the deal with the tiger charm in the drawer? With Nanyuan's troops, it is not enough for the emperor to use the tiger talisman, where did you get it? ”
He said bluntly: "Anton Wei." You should know that after the defeat of Wang Ding's army, the emperor ordered the Guizhou army to settle on the front line of Andongwei. At that time, this army was escorted by me, and now it is given another tiger talisman, what is strange? ”
Wanwan felt that these words were difficult to convince her, he did have a lot of credit for the quelling of this mutiny, but Nanyuan has always been under the melon field, how could the emperor let him take charge of the army! The remnants of the three vassal kings add up to more than 100,000, how powerful so many people are, will the emperor not know? If you want Tai/Zu to capture Da Yue back then, it is only 100,000 soldiers and horses. Wanwan calculated a detailed account, and asked Yu Qiyao to check before, on the bright side, there were 50,000 defenders in Nanyuan, and if you add the troops that Tiger Fu can mobilize, his current power is already so big that it is jaw-dropping.
She looked at him in horror, "Good time, you said you wouldn't lie to me. ”
His eyes immediately softened, "I lied to you, you always doubt me." Recently, there have been frequent changes in officials in the imperial court, even the right governor of the Fifth Army has been vacant, and the southeast has not woken up until now due to the rebellion of the Guizhou Division. There is a lack of reliable people in front of the emperor, so for the time being, explain it to me, why don't you believe it! Yan Yan's face was full of sadness again, and he smiled bitterly, "My husband has really failed. I thought that only the emperor in the world would guard against me, but I didn't expect that the emperor was easy to be trusted, but the people next to him were wary of me to death. In the three years you have been in Beijing, so many things have happened, if I wanted to rebel, I would have exposed it a long time ago, why wait until now? What I have done can satisfy the emperor, but it can't satisfy you, do you think I have lost enough, not enough to live and die? ”
He was very sad and mournful, and Wanwan suddenly was in a trance, introspecting whether there were really some plants and trees that were all soldiers. Looking back on the past years, so many ups and downs did not betray him, and she should believe that he was loyal to the court. She must be confused, half of the left talisman, as long as the right talisman is in the emperor's hands, he can't do anything about the army.
Thinking about it, she suddenly felt deeply guilty, and she chilled his heart. It's a pity that she has never been a person who is lightly swayed by feelings, and in her heart she is above love, not because she doesn't love him enough, but because she always remembers that she is Murong's descendant. Sometimes the more you have, the more you can't give up. To be realistic, her backer is the entire Daye. Once the light is lost, and the attachment to love is parasitic, who can say for sure how it will end in the future.
She retreated to her seat and slowly bowed her head, "It's me who is too careful, when I see the tiger talisman at first glance, I feel a sigh in my heart, I am really afraid of ......"
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he was also guilty and weak-hearted, he was calculating after all, and he was really sorry for her. But no matter how the situation turns, her position in his heart is unshakable, and he still speaks loudly.
Seeing that her attitude had changed, he also intended to probe her tone, and sat in the circle chair and said slowly: "The ancestor of the Yuwen clan received the emperor's favor, and he was crowned the king, and there is a family motto handed down, and the first one is to serve the country with loyalty." But those three years were a great torment for me, you can't be by my side, the imperial court suppressed Nanyuan many times, and then the news of your slippery tire came, you don't know how I spent that time. I used to hesitate, if I really joined forces with Wang Ding, I don't know what it would be like today. Will you hate me? Will it be with me? ”
She had a cold look on her face, thought about it and said: "When you pretended to join the Guizhou Army, the common people came to the eldest princess's mansion to block the door, scolded me for being shameless through the courtyard wall, and I endured it, because I knew that the court would not give you a way to live, and you were forced to be helpless." The country's qi is really exhausted, you can only resign yourself to fate, if you want to rebel, you want to be the emperor, I can't stop it. But I am the princess of Daye, all I can do is to observe the festival for the country, and I will never sit side by side with you to enjoy the world. ”
His heart skipped a beat, "That's what you think?" ”
She turned her head and could see through the thin veil on the window. The snow was already light, and the sky was beginning to clear up, illuminating the rooftops opposite. She frowned, and her voice was cold: "Otherwise, what about being taken away from the world and continuing to commit to hatred?" I can't do it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see my ancestors and ancestors after I die. ”
After he heard what she said, Qiu Yun's two words shocked him. If the world falls apart because of him, she will regard him as an enemy, and if she wants to be together again in this life, I am afraid it will be hopeless. Why is a woman so stubborn, and is he not good enough for her? Even if she tried all her might, she couldn't win her heart, she defended the emperor like that, and no matter how much he bullied her, was she willing to bear it?
"The emperor is not good to you......"
She had a blank expression on her face, "If I had been born in a small family and had such an unpleasant quarrel with my brother, I might have asked someone to hang him up and whip him a few times." But he is not an ordinary person after all, if he loses the world, he will have to die, how much resentment does he have to pay for with his life? Moreover, Daye not only belongs to him, but I am maintaining the ancestral inheritance, and it has nothing to do with him. I once told you that others can mess with the government, but you can't, because you are my concubine and the son-in-law of the Murong family. Unless you don't want me anymore, you should stand with me and keep the peace of Daye. ”
These words led to a long period of silence, each other was fighting in their hearts, success or failure was calculated again and again, and when it came to a desperate situation, there was no room for maneuver.
Wanwan made up her mind, but Liangshi didn't think so. He always felt that her heart was very soft, and now she couldn't turn it around, and when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, she would still accept it. They just lack a child now, once she becomes a mother, the child will occupy all her thoughts, and all fathers, brothers, families and countries will be left behind.
After all, a princess is a princess, and when it comes to politics, she unconsciously has a kind of high authority. She held it, making him feel strange, and he had to break this dilemma. So he went over and pulled her up, hugged her tightly in his arms, and whispered, "What's wrong with you?" We've been through so much together, we shouldn't be like this. The tiger talisman was sent by Anton Wei and kept by me, if you don't believe it, you can ask Yu Qiyao to check it. It's just that the accurate information has to be found out from the emperor, so that there will be no mistakes. ”
Wanwan had her own plans, and verbally promised: "If you say everything, there will be nothing suspicious." It's me who is careful, don't be angry with me. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the whole year is not happy. ”
He really changed his smiling face, and told her about the interesting story of the second child and their bowing. Wanwan also made an interested appearance, but secretly melancholy, it was insincere, and her heart was far away all of a sudden, this is husband and wife.
The first year of junior high school was spent in a cluster of flowers, and the second year of junior high school was idle. He said that the whereabouts of the tiger talisman had to be asked to the emperor, and she really studied the ink and planned to write a letter to the emperor.
Tonghuan watched from the side, and asked hesitantly, "Has Your Highness thought it through?" If there is a difference, this letter will not reach the emperor at all. If it can arrive, what if the emperor has a mind for a while and makes a big fuss? ”
In fact, Wanwan was also hesitating, she only wrote two words, and she felt that she was not thinking about it. Tonghuan is right, but she is afraid of other things, in case this tiger talisman is really unknown, can she tell Liangshi and kill her husband?
She suddenly hated this situation, which made her panic and make her in a dilemma. If you didn't find out how good it was before, you would rather be in the dark, and your life would be comfortable.
She didn't have the mercy to do so, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it into the brazier. Let's get by, just be peaceful, don't make trouble for yourself. There is no way to persecute others, and if you put a knife on your neck, you deserve it.
Time flies quickly, and after the first month, the dragon raised its head in a blink of an eye, and one did not check, and it suddenly arrived in March.
March is a good time to marry a wife and daughter, and Lan Zhou's family affairs should also be decided. Wanwan and the concubine got together to discuss, and the roster of Liangshi collected several girls who were well-matched, including the young lady of the Zongren Mansion Zongzheng family, and the daughter of the governor of Zhongshu Province...... The concubine picked and picked, what she meant was that the family didn't have to be too high, the people in the state capital could, and the people who didn't make arrangements were too close to the high-ranking officials of the court. Wanwan didn't have so many taboos, let Lan Zhou come, and asked him with kind words: "Brother, you have been running errands outside for so long, let's see which one is good, let Mrs. call the shots for you." ”
Lan Zhou's face pulled to his navel, "My son is still young, and I don't want to get married for the time being." Please say good things for me, and let my son marry again next year. ”
The concubine took the lead and said: "It's not small, it's thirteen this year, and fourteen next year." Your fifth uncle married Fujin at the age of twelve, and he hugged his son at the age of thirteen......"
"But won't the child die after living for three days?" He stubbornly twisted his neck, his stature was so tall, and he was still a child's virtue.
The concubine snorted, "I don't have a good word when I open my mouth, where did I learn my stinky temper!" Do you know that when a man gets married? It's you this year, Brother Ting'er next year, and you can't run any of them. ”
Lan Ting blinked twice, "Or I'll marry first?" Let my mom come back for a hi bar. ”
The concubine glared at him, "Sensei is making fun, your brother is still beating a single, when will it be your turn!" Nunuzui, let Mama Ta send the booklet to Lan Zhou, "Pick one, and make up your mind after choosing...... Don't look at you, she can't save you. I still don't believe in this evil, Lao Tzu looks like this, and his son is like this, everyone doesn't want to marry, they want to go to heaven? ”
Lan Zhou looked at the seat sadly, "The son is ...... with Amma"
Wanwan looked helpless, "Last time I asked you if you had someone you liked, and you didn't want to sue me, I want to intercede with you, and I can't find a reason." Now that my wife has spoken, don't make my wife angry, be obedient, and pick it. ”
He took the booklet in his hand, his hands trembled, and finally he pointed at random, turned around and went out.
"The left-behind division commands the daughter of the Jin Rui family." Mama Ta handed the booklet back and said with a smile, "I know this family, Mrs. is Erfujin's maiden cousin." The girl's name is Yunwan, and she is older than our uncle, and she has been literate and hyphenated since she was a child, and she is a dignified and virtuous child. ”
The concubine was overjoyed, smiled and nodded, "It's a coincidence, it turns out to be a kiss." Then ask Erfujin to be a matchmaker, and go to the Jin family to propose relatives. ”
To promote a marriage, it is necessary to go through a lot of complicated steps, but Lan Zhou followed him Ama in and out when he was seven or eight years old, and everyone in the officialdom knows what the talent looks like. Na Cai can be exempted, and then asked about the birth date, and asked Qin Tianjian to get married. As a result, a rare match in a hundred years, the Jin family is happy to marry the feudal prince's mansion, and the son-in-law is big since childhood, both of them are easy to talk to, and they all try their best to promote, and nothing is a problem. So after the ceremony, the date was set on August 11, when the three dynasties returned to the door, the fourteenth in the mother's house, and the fifteenth back to the house to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, it was really no more satisfying.
There is a happy event in the house, and there is laughter and laughter everywhere. Wanwan liked such a lively atmosphere, and often passed the courtyard to see how they were doing. Everyone was very happy, but Lan Zhou didn't react, and he talked as usual, sometimes when he mentioned his bride, he was also faint and didn't smile.
Wanwan has recently become obsessed with raising birds, raising those who love to call, parrots, red children, and orioles...... What looks good and what to raise. When the good time also followed her wishes, she touched a lot of precious varieties back, and pulled out a section of the corridor on the edge of the building in front of the building, which was specially used to hang bird cages. Every day when the sky is clear, the cover is lifted, and all the birds compete to raise their voices, and the prosperity is like standing in the bird market in a trance.
She carefully selected and planned to give one to Lan Zhou to amuse him. It took a long time to choose a blue indigo chin, the bird with white eyebrows and brown feathers, and a bright blue chin, small and clever, looking very likable. The child's mind is heavy, and she can't explain it, so she can only hope for this bird.
She carried Fleur to his yard with the cage, but unfortunately the others were not there, so she hung the cage under the window of the moon cave. Turning his head and telling Haha Zhuzi to take care of it, he went back to Longen Building. Lan Zhou came back in the evening and saw it, and asked where the bird came from, and the people below said that it was sent by His Highness, so he stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and stood for half an hour.
The lantern is in hand, the bird is very interesting, loves to call the lantern flowers, and the more it calls at night, the more cheerful it is. He didn't like these little things before, and he was afraid that the playthings would lose his mind. Others knead walnuts and fight crickets, and in addition to reading, he practices riding and shooting. Now I have such a thing, because of the giver, I also have a special affection for this bird.
The voice of the blue indigo chin is crisp and moist, and it can call out all kinds of tricks. He quietly admired it for a while, fearing that it would be tired, so he ordered someone to cover the cage with a cloth. I went to the study to read the Chen Tiao sent by the 24 counties, and after reading it for a long time, I didn't even read a word.
My mind is not on this, my mind is messed up, and I feel very difficult to sit down. If you get a bird, you should go over and say thank you, which is the most basic courtesy. When he looked at the time, it was already time to hand over, Amma had a party today, presumably she hadn't slept yet!
He went out in front of the bronze mirror and dressed up, his residence was not far from the Longen Building, which was very convenient in the past.
I walked slowly with the sheep's horn lamp, and I thought it was funny when I thought about it, she really took him as a son. The dwelling should be arranged close so that she can take care of it, and when she finds him unhappy, she sends him a bird to play with, which has a kind of generous taste of being a mother and a friend. If she was really born to her, how good it would be, but unfortunately not this blessing.
He went up the steps of Longen Tower, and when he entered, he met Xiao You. Xiao You belched, "Why is Uncle here?" ”
He replied vaguely, "I'm talking to Enie, are you asleep now?" ”
Since returning from Beijing, they have not been up all night. Xiao You looked back, the light was on, and he said, "I usually don't go to bed until the prince comes back, but I haven't slept yet." Uncle wait, the slave and maid went in and said. ”
But he sent a ghost, raised his hand and said no, "Our mother and son don't need to be so up-to-date." You're busy with yours, I'll just go in by myself. ”
Xiao You was very embarrassed, and he was afraid of annoying him if he wanted to stop him, so he had to watch him enter the bedroom.
