69. Jade Festival Tiger Talisman
When the good time came back to the Talama clan, he lacked interest, and wrote lightly: "Send someone to Songjiang Mansion and say that it's over, and it won't be troublesome to go back and forth." β
Wanwan didn't have any fear of them now, she trusted them too much, if he had that heart, she would have let them return to the vassal palace in the three years she was away. The concubine's words are not wrong, although Shu Fujin can't be on the stage and can't allow her to come back, it is her demeanor as the eldest princess and concubine Fujin. There are so many bystanders that many people can kill people with just one mouth. Why don't you finish your work and save yourself the need to leave the talk and let those maggots talk to you.
She smiled generously, "It's just a matter of taking some time, they've been gone for three years, and they haven't seen each other for such a long time, family, don't you want them?" β
He knew that she was joking, but he was still a little nervous, "If you say that, you can't let them come back anymore." According to my wishes, let Lan Zhou go there in person, and kowtow to his mother. He's already under your name, and he's moved the Tara out again, and he's broken the rules. β
He was devoted to her, and she knew it in her heart. However, rules are rules, favors are favors, and the Tara clan is irrelevant, and Lan Zhou and his new daughter-in-law have to explain it. The child is silent, and he will always miss his mother. It's better to bring people back, everyone is happy, how good. Besides, she also had something on her mind, so she leaned forward and snuggled into his arms, crossed his fingertips and said, "Two sons...... Too little. My body is not angry, I'm afraid I will delay your ......"
He lowered his head and kissed her on the hair: "I know you are always unsteady, and I heard it a few times when you talk in your dreams at night." You are still young, and you don't have to worry about not being able to raise a son. Take 10,000 steps back, even if we don't have it in our lives, Lan Zhou and Lan Ting are in front of us, are you afraid that no one will support us in the future? β
She sighed and said abruptly: "People have left their names, geese have left their voices, there is nothing behind me, and I have walked in the world for nothing." β
Her worries seem to have become a habit, those three years have given her too many unbearable memories, her brother imprisoned her, the courtiers dared to scold her, she had miscarriages, serious illnesses, mental breakdowns, too many misfortunes. In fact, he has always regretted that if he knew that there was such a big change later, he should have forcibly picked her up on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you don't think so long-term and cooperate with Wang Ding, you can at least keep his sister-in-law......
Those regrets, he didn't dare to talk about them in front of her, so he could only pull her arms wide.
"Do you mean to let them come back and give me a son? What do you think of me? The old lady forced me at the beginning, and now you want to force me too? You say that geese have been gramophone, but you are not a geese. Isn't it enough that you're a chisel that has engraved your name on my heart? β
He was also serious when he said love words, and Wanwan looked at him, and she couldn't help it, so she smiled. Thinking of what he said earlier, Xiu frowned and muttered very frustratedly: "Do I talk in my dreams at night?" Why is there still this problem! β
He began to tease her, "Not only do you talk in your dreams, but you are also not honest in your hands and feet." I don't know how many times, I'll be beaten up by you in a daze. Fortunately, I slept lightly, and I was able to resist it, but if I was kicked by you, it was you who suffered later. β
Wanwan was startled at first, then blushed, and said timidly: "Then I only sleep in separate beds, you are next to me, I am still too panicked!" β
She looked disgusted and turned her face away. He held both hands and turned her around again, looking at the big eyes, bright cheeks, and forehead, and bumped into her, "You want to get rid of me, next life!" β
Lan Zhou, when I saw her later, I always looked very embarrassed, probably the sexual affairs were reported to her without leakage, and I felt that my face was dull. I was very taboo when I saw her a few times, and I didn't even dare to look at her when I spoke.
Wanwan originally thought that after a long time, he would naturally see it, but he didn't expect that after a long time, the situation still did not improve. She thought she should find a chance to talk to him, seeing that she was always hiding, how good was this!
It's almost the New Year, and the festival gifts on Zhuangzi have been sent, and this year, because she is there, the yamen still have something to ask him to forward. He sent those incense fans, lake pens and other objects to her, and before he said a word, he was about to leave, but Wanwan stopped him first.
"Is it that Enie has done something wrong and made you unhappy? You don't want to pay attention to me this way, I'm really sad. β
He said no, still lowering his eyes, "My son is too busy with his job, so he neglects to be here in Enie, which is the son's unfilial piety." β
In the end, he is still a child, and his appearance is cramped and restrained. Wanwan is really a good and competent mother, let him sit, and said to him gently: "When you are a big person, you have to marry a daughter-in-law, and there is nothing to be ashamed of in this kind of thing." You and I are very happy, and we look forward to you spreading the branches of the Yuwen family. Tongfang is waiting for you, so if you don't move, we're going to be in a hurry. Your grandmother is not here, and I am the only one who has said these things to you, no matter how old you are, you are still a child in our eyes. What is there to be embarrassed about between children and parents, you are on an errand and meet so many people and things, and your face is tender like this, how can you share your worries? β
Lan Zhou listened silently, stood up and said, "Ene misunderstood, my son is not because of this ......"
"Why is that?" Wanwan patiently asked him, "Is it because you miss your grandmother?" β
He shook his head, his drooping eyes slowly raised, and he glanced at her with some cringe, "Enie don't worry about his son, his son is doing well." The girls in the room are the orders of the wife and Enie, and the son does not dare to disobey them. But...... The son has his own thoughts, and he can't tell others, but the son knows it himself. β
Wanwan was puzzled, "So, do you have someone you like?" After the New Year, I will tell you about family affairs, you have your own score, and you must sue sΓΉ Nirvana. As long as the girl is from a good family, we must do your best first, in the end, it is a major event in a lifetime, but you can't be sloppy. β
He blushed, lowered his head again, and muttered no. hurriedly called Qian'er, "My son still has an errand to finish, so I can't delay it any longer." Enerong's son retired first, if you have anything to say, let's wait for my son to come back. β
He ran away as if he was running away, Xiao You was inexplicable, "This uncle, the bigger he gets, the more people can't see through it." β
Wanwan didn't take it seriously, in her opinion, she did everything she could, the child had the idea of having a child, and she refused to communicate with her, and she was not easy to force.
It's the New Year, and finally a snow. The snow in the south is different from the north in that it is rare and full of surprises when it comes. After a reunion dinner in Chinese New Year's Eve, the family watched fireworks in front of the Yin'an Temple, when there were still vague stars embedded in the sky. After a night of earth-shattering firecrackers, the next day I opened the window and saw that the yard was white.
Liangshi has been strict since he was a child, and the Lanzhou Lanting brothers and sons had to get up to study in the fourth watch, and he was the same at that time. I couldn't get up at a young age, and Mama Jingqi stood in front of the bed, knocking on the bed frame with a ring ruler, knocking loudly. If you are afraid of going to the house, you have to hurry up, and the habit that you have developed over the years will wake up when the time comes, which is more accurate than the Western self-striking bell.
Wanwan loved to lie in bed in the morning, and was sleeping sweetly during the fourth watch, and she wanted to call her to watch the snow, but she was afraid of disturbing her good sleep, so she put on her clothes and got out of bed, and quietly moved to the outside room.
If others don't leave the house, they still have to deal with things outside, and in some respects, people can do it for them, but in some respects, they have to do it himself. In the evening, he received two letters, one from the capital and the other from Anton Wei. He thought in his heart that he had been inconvenient for her to be around, but now that he had some free time, he remembered to take a look.
The movement of the capital is not only in the emperor, but also in the rise and fall of the court personnel, the deployment of troops around the Beijing division, and so on. The emperor is a fool, the governor of the five armies was framed by the eunuch Yan because of his disagreement with Yan Sunlang, the emperor did not investigate, and very succinctly said that the suspect did not need to vacate this position. The fifth child has already begun to move, and the connections that can be used are mobilized, and it is bound to push their people into that position. Once successful, the defense of the capital city and the Anton garrison are in his hands, and he will be able to sit back and relax in the future.
He seeks the world, and every step is steady and steady. Ancestors have been planning for generations, and it is not a big deal to wait for another three or five years.
On Anton Wei's side, a tiger talisman was sent with the letter. He opened the box and saw that the surface of the bronze gilt had faintly glowed blue because of its age. He held the left talisman in the palm of his hand, and the second step was to get the right talisman in the emperor's hand, and the two talismans were combined, not only the surrendered Guizhou army, but also half of Daye's men and horses could be dispatched by him at will.
The face under the lamp floated with an emotionless sneer. If it turned out that his ambition was confused because of love, now it is unprecedentedly clear. He loves Wanwan, and he wants to give her stability above ten thousand people, and the title of the eldest princess is noble, but unfortunately the emperor is crazy. If the emperor is replaced, then she will be free from fear and will no longer be restrained by anyone.
With coals burning in the cage at the center of the earth, he lifted the shroud and threw the letter in. The letter twisted and contracted on the blue tongue of fire, and suddenly shuddered to hold up a red light, and he stood there silently, the flames leaping in his eyes.
There was a sound of rustling cloth in the room, and he buckled the cover back onto the lavender cage, and as soon as it was covered, Wanwan came out of it.
She was still sleepy-eyed, and said in a daze, "Are you up?" It's so early, it's not dawn yet. β
He quietly returned to the desk, put the tiger talisman into the box with his hands behind his back, and promised in his mouth: "I can't sleep, get up and read a book for a while." Do you see outside? It's snowing. β
She groaned, and jumped like a child, ran over and opened the door, and was greeted by a cold snap that lifted the hair from her sideburns. She shook her head, looked at the white ground under the dim sky, and said with a smile: "This snow is falling well, and it is at the turn of the old and the new." β
She stood in the tuyere, her light bedgown undulating with the wind. He stepped forward and pulled her back, "It's still down, it's not too late to get up in the morning and see it." β
She was reluctantly dragged back to the bed by him, fell into his arms and said, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, let's go out for a walk, okay?" β
He said, "Greet Ene, and I'll let you set up a car." β
She hesitated a little again, "I'm afraid that the uncle and they are going to come to the house to pay New Year's greetings, let's go, it's not like words." β
She is never the kind of person who doesn't care, thinks too much, and is destined to have a heavy mind.
She brushed her hair, and she lay on top of him, a gentle load that reassured him. The two of them talked for a while, then took a small nap, and then got up until the window was glowing white.
The first day of the new year is indeed complicated, and if you want to see guests, you have to go to the family temple to worship. Wanwan is in the heap of concubines, and she doesn't like to show off her dew. She had a quiet temperament, and when they were talking, she leaned on and listened to them. With a faint smile on her face, like a beauty in an ancient painting, she sat quietly in her precious frame.
The Fujin people were very concerned about Lan Zhou's marriage, and the later topics basically revolved around the selection of the eldest son's daughter-in-law. Lan Zhou is the eldest son, even if he can't take the title in the future, he won't be far behind, so the Fujin people strongly recommend a girl of the same age in her mother's family, and ask the eldest princess to think more.
Wanwan was not easy to answer, so she only said that she asked the concubine to take an idea. The concubine dragged her voice and said: "Marrying a daughter-in-law is not looking for a long-term job, how can it be settled in a few words." It's still more picky and more to see, the size is awkward, just find him one, turn around and the chickens and dogs jump, the house is not peaceful. Wait, there are already a few candidates, and when he sees it himself, it will be easy to do. β
The Fujin were a little disappointed, but they didn't care, and changed the topic to chat. Wanwan sat for a long time, couldn't stand still, said tired, got up and went to the garden.
Today is the first day of the new year, and it is rare for me to get together with a few brothers, and I went out to bow together. Wanwan was bored and went to his study to find a book to read. He has two large bookcases, in addition to the four books and five classics, but also contains a number of county chronicles and folk customs in the south of the Yangtze River. She picked out a book of strange stories, turned to her desk, and sat down, and when she saw a dozen thick piles of manuscripts on the table, she gathered them for him, intending to put them away in a drawer.
There was a box in the drawer, she remembered, the one she had seen in the morning. She didn't ask at the time, but she was curious afterwards. Now that I've found it, I'm sure I'll have to open it and take a look.
She is a princess, and unlike most princesses, when others are studying embroidery stitches, she understands the art of war and knows the tiger talisman.
The tiger talisman should be called the military talisman, which is a certificate used by the emperor to grant military power to his subordinates and mobilize troops. She stared at the talisman with her eyes, and it was engraved with the inscription of the wrong golden seal: "Where the Xing soldiers are armored, and there are more than 50 soldiers, they will know the talisman and dare to do it"...... The right symbol is in the king, and the left symbol is in the general, and usually only those who have heavy troops can keep it. The vassal king has reduced his military power for more than 100 years, how can this tiger talisman appear here?
She was terrified, could it be that it was rewarded by the court? The emperor was confused again and handed over the left fu to Liangshi? She held the copper lump like a hot potato. Thinking about it, I don't know whether I should question him in person. If he came openly, wouldn't it seem that she was always suspicious of him! If there is a different story, then ...... Big things don't go well.
She was so scared for a moment, in fact, she was really wary, it was her instinct, and she couldn't suppress it. Her heart pounded, and she reluctantly settled down and put her things back down. There were no flaws in the inspection again and again, and Fang hurriedly returned to the Longen Building.
Although a person sits down, his mind turns a thousand times, and it is difficult to settle down. Let the copper ring send Yu Qiyao over, struggled for a long time, and whispered to him: "You go and check one thing for me, who is the tiger talisman of Daye now?" β
Yu Qiyao was stunned for a moment, "As far as the minister knows, there are two pairs of tiger talismans, and the east and west fortresses of Daye have one side each, which should be in the hands of the guards." Why is Your Highness looking into this? β
She didn't dare to tell the truth, but just prevaricated: "I want to know the exact news...... Can Fu be transferred, and has the imperial court reassigned military power recently......"
As she was talking, someone outside responded to her words: "The tiger talisman cannot be transferred, and whoever will hold the festival will be decided by the emperor, and it will not be passed on." β
She turned her head in a panic and came in through the door at a good time, her face was slightly pale and her expression was uncertain. When he got in front of her, he waved his hand and ordered Yu Qiyao to retreat, and then stared at her, scrutinizing her carefully, as if he had never known her.
It took a long time to smile, the smile hung on the corner of his lips, but his eyes were like sharp swords, destroying and decaying, passing through the body.
"Wanwan, it turns out that you never believed me."
