Chapter 1217: Marriage Again
Qiao Ling lowered her head and reminded very honestly: "Sister Shangxiang, you can't beat his ......"
"Sister Ling, ...... you" Sun Shangxiang looked a little angry, she paused for a moment, and then said angrily: "Although I can't beat him, won't I find a helper?" If Sister Long knew that we were being bullied, she would definitely be angry with us! Isn't that lewd thief just relying on light work? Hmph, Sister Long's light skills are the first in the world to learn from the light body kung fu, I think that lewd thief is still arrogant in front of the 'Lingbo Dragon Girl'?! ”
I don't know for what reason, Qiao Ling poured cold water on Sun Shangxiang again: "Judging by his performance, it should not only be outstanding in light body kung fu, at least his internal strength, secret weapon technique, and body protection true qi are not comparable to us and Long'er." I'm afraid that even if we add Long'er, the three of us will not be his opponents. ”
Sun Shangxiang was speechless, and after a while, he said: "If Sister Long is not the opponent of that lewd thief, then I will go to the eldest brother and ask him to stand up for us." Even my father, who is ranked fourth on the 'Top Ten Swordsmen List', once said that my eldest brother's martial arts are no longer below him, and that lewd thief should die now, right? ”
"If it was your eldest brother who came out in person, then he might really be ......" Qiao Ling said this, her expression became a little complicated: "But, Sister Shangxiang, are you really going to tell your eldest brother about this?" ”
Sun Shangxiang was slightly stunned, and then said with a gloomy expression: "Yes, this matter can't be known to others, otherwise we won't have the face to see people!" ”
"Yes, yes." A look of relief appeared on Qiao Ling's pretty face. She nodded and said, "Looking at that person's appearance, he won't publicize this matter everywhere, anyway, we didn't suffer any losses, so it's better to just forget it!" ”
"How can it be just like that?" Sun Shangxiang shouted: "Our innocent bodies have been defiled by that lewd thief. How can I swallow this breath! I'm not going to take this dumb loss! No, I must let my eldest brother stand up for us! ”
Qiao Ling's timid appearance of wanting to speak made Sun Shangxiang's tone soften a lot: "Sister Ling, don't worry." I will never tell my brother everything about it, and I promise that it will not affect your perfect image in my eldest brother's mind! ”
"Sister Shangxiang, what are you talking nonsense!" Qiao Ling frowned slightly, and said, "I have always regarded Brother Bo Fu as my own brother, don't say this kind of easy misunderstanding in the future!" ”
"Sister Ling. Do you really only think of my big brother as your own brother? When Sun Shangxiang asked this sentence, the expression on her face was clearly saying, you are talking back to me, right? But after seeing Qiao Ling's affirmative nod. She knew that all this was true, so she put away her smile and asked with doubts: "Sister Ling, my eldest brother is the number one hero among the young generation in Jiangdong. How could you not like him? ”
Qiao Ling sighed. said: "Sister Shangxiang, you are still young now, and when you are a few years older, you will understand that feelings cannot be forced!" ”
Sun Shangxiang nodded as if he didn't understand, and said with regret: "Alas, it's a pity that my eldest brother has liked you for two years, and he has refused a lot of family affairs arranged for him by my father for you." Even my father wanted to go to your house for him to ask for a kiss, but he stopped him, saying that he wanted you to really fall in love with him as a person, and not marry him because of your parents' orders. He's going to be hit hard! ”
I didn't expect Sun Ce, this kid, to have such an anachronistic view of love. But I appreciate it!
In Liu Yu's admiration and Qiao Ling's sigh, Sun Shangxiang's tone changed. Full of curiosity, he asked, "Sister Ling, who is the person you have your eye on?" Could it be Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who are called 'New Jiangdong Shuangbi' together with my eldest brother? ”
Hey, you were full of resentment towards me just now, and now you're curious about those gossips, little girls are little girls...... However, Liu Yu is also very curious about the answer to this question!
"It's not Zhou Yu." Qiao Ling confessed to her good sister: "The person I like is not in Jiangdong. ”
"It turns out that Sister Ling, your sweetheart is not our Jiangdong's Junjie, giggles, if this news spreads, it will definitely make our Jiangdong's young talents upset!" Sun Shangxiang first laughed and teased a few words, and then asked, "Then sister, who is the person you like?" Is it the 'Falling Goose Boy' Cao Ang, or the 'Brocade Boy' Ma Chao? When and where did you meet? ”
Qiao Ling sighed softly, and said with a resentful expression: "I have known him for a long time, but he may not know me, and it is impossible for him to know my heart for him......"
Sun Shangxiang opened her mouth wide, with a look of disbelief: "No, Sister Ling, you actually have a crush on someone else?" Good sister, tell me who your sweetheart is...... I want to see who is so arrogant and doesn't take my sister Ling seriously! ”
"Okay, Sister Shangxiang, don't ask again, I don't want to say." Qiao Ling shook her head and said, then glanced in the direction where Liu Yu had left just now, and asked as if changing the subject: "Do you really want to take revenge on the person who broke your stabbing sword so much?" But you don't even know their names, what should you do? ”
Sun Shangxiang was stunned for a moment after listening to Qiao Ling's words, not knowing whether she didn't want to embarrass her sister Ling, or aroused her resentment towards Liu Yu, she didn't continue to ask Qiao Ling, but looked thoughtful, as if she was thinking about how to find out Liu Yu's whereabouts. After a while, Sun Shangxiang said happily as if he had found a way: "We can go to the sister of the Xu family, she is a disciple of 'Bu Tiange'." Even if her skills are still shallow and she can't accurately calculate the whereabouts of that lewd thief, then she can go and ask her master 'God Operator' to take care of it! Sister Ling, don't worry, I will definitely find that lewd thief and teach him a good lesson! ”
Qiao Ling glanced at Sun Shangxiang, shook her head, and said, "It's not too early, let's go back!" ”
Sun Shangxiang nodded and responded: "Okay, but Sister Ling, you have to help others, they are now weak and sore all over!" ”
Qiao Ling helped Sun Shangxiang. Yu scolded with a concerned smile: "Who told you to use the 'sword with qi' without measuring your own strength, now you know that it is powerful!" In your case, you will need to recuperate for at least three months before you can fully recover. Prepare for those 100 days of boredom! ”
"Aren't people doing this because they're afraid that the thief will be bad for you?" Sun Shangxiang first said to Qiao Ling with a resentful expression, and then cursed hatefully: "It's all that lewd thief, and the next time I see him, I will definitely beat him and recuperate for three months." No, at least I have to beat him for three years to recuperate before I can get rid of the hatred in my heart! ”
With Sun Shangxiang's curse and Qiao Ling's chuckle, the two quickly disappeared from Liu Yu's field of vision. Liu Yu was not interested in following them any longer, waiting for them to leave. Liu Yu came to the lake again, looking at the still clear water, his thoughts drifted: Who will Qiao Ling's sweetheart be? What was the meaning of her inexplicable eyes looking in the direction I left? There is also the "sister of the Xu family" in Sun Shangxiang's mouth. Who is she?
Liu Yu was lying on the grass by the lake, looking at the white clouds in the sky, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. It was a long time before he rolled over and stood up. muttered to himself, "What do you want to do so much." It's none of my business. Okay, let's go home, there's so much to do! ”
Liu Yu did not alarm any more figures in the officialdom of Xuzhou, with Tao Qian's absolute cooperation and the support of the three major families in Xuzhou, it was no surprise that Liu Yu mastered the affairs of Xuzhou, so there was no need for him to do anything more, just wait for the personnel sent by the imperial court to receive it.
Sneaking all the way, Liu Yu finally returned to Luoyang before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The act of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with family does not seem to have become popular in this era. But Liu Yu, who crossed alone, took a fancy to this festival the most. At this time of year, Liu Yu asked Liu Yu and them to let go of all the affairs in their hands. During the day, they will go out together to enjoy the laurels, and at night they will also drink and watch the moon together, and even the moon cakes that only appeared in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties were made by Zou Zhiruo more than a thousand years in advance under the instruction of Liu Yu.
In the garden of Xiangfu shrouded by the gentle moonlight, Liu Yu lay on a rocking chair, eating the osmanthus cake fed by Zou Zhiruo, while chatting casually with Liu Yu and them. It feels so cozy and warm!
"Husband, can you transfer Sima Mizhu from Xuzhou to Luoyang?" Zou Zhiruo suddenly asked Liu Yu.
Liu Yu naturally wouldn't believe that Zou Zhi would speak for Mi Zhu if she had accepted the benefits of the Mi family, but she still asked with some doubts: "Why did you transfer Mi Zhu to Luoyang?" ”
Zou Zhiruo smiled embarrassedly and said: "My deputy Gan Meiyu was deeply taken care of by Miss Mi when she was in Xuzhou, and even her initial martial arts were taught by Miss Mi Family. If there was no Miss Mi family, Meiyu would never have been able to reach Yuzhou safely in the war, and it would be impossible for her to become her husband's 'Luan Fengwei' through selection! So Meiyu is very grateful to Miss Mi Jia, but she can't think of any good way to repay her, so she has to recklessly ask me to blow the pillow wind to my husband to see if I can be promoted to Miss Mi and her eldest brother's official ......"
Although Zou Zhiruo, Fan Lihua and Wu Yuan are the three captains of Luan Fengwei, since they became Liu Yu's concubines, they are no longer responsible for the usual Luan Fengwei's training and daily problems, and those trivial matters are basically handled by their deputies. Fan Lihua's deputy is Luo Li'er, Wu Yuan's deputy is Feng Ying, and Zou Zhiruo's deputy is naturally Gan Meiyu!
Although Gan Meiyu and the others are not Liu Yu's women, under the brainwashing of Liu Yu and their accumulated years, and Feng Ying, a companion who has basically determined a new identity, as an example, Luo Lier and the others also have a clear understanding of their status, so Gan Meiyu will take the liberty of wanting to help her benefactor's closest relatives. However, she hasn't separated from Liu Yu in the end, and she can't say anything, so she invited Zou Zhiruo, who is very close to her, to come forward, and said that if Liu Yu is embarrassed, then she will say nothing......
Mi Zhu is a good hand in internal affairs in history, Liu Yu would not let him go, and now it coincides with the intercession of the preparatory concubine who has been conscientiously guarding him, so Liu Yu naturally pushed the boat and said: "No problem, you tell Gan Meiyu, just say that I will issue a promotion order in a few days and transfer Mi Zhu to Beijing." ”
Zou Zhiruo kissed Liu Yu's left and right cheeks with a smile like a flower, and thanked: "Husband, you are so good, I thank you for Meiyu!" ”
Liu Yu smiled slightly, and simply said with the icing on the cake: "Why don't I order Miss Mi to come to Luoyang with her eldest brother." It's also good for Meiyu to see the sisters of the year. ”
When Zou Zhiruo couldn't wait to tell Gan Meiyu, who was on vacation, the good news, Liu Xuan smiled on the side and asked, "Husband, except for Mi Zhu." What else are you going to promote in Xuzhou? ”
"Cao Bao, I'm also ready to raise it. One of them is the representative of the three major gates of Xuzhou, the leader of Wenchen; The other is the first person of the Xuzhou Army and the chief of the generals. The promotion of the two of them will inevitably play a certain role in appeasing the officials of Xuzhou. ”
While Liu Xuan agreed, Ren Hongchang smiled beside him: "I'm afraid the reason why the husband wants to promote Mi Zhu and Cao Bao is not only this, right?" ”
Cai Yan, who was the most curious, lit up when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Oh, is there any other reason?" Sister Hongchang, talk about it! ”
Ren Hongchang glanced at Liu Yu. Pretending to be mysterious, he whispered: "According to the information I have gathered, Mi Zhu's sister and Cao Bao's daughter are both beautiful unmarried women, and the two of them together are called 'Xuzhou Shuangmei'. It is very famous in Xuzhou. ”
Cai Yan and the others let out a long "oh" at the same time, and they all looked at Liu Yu with strange eyes. Although Liu Yu did have the heart to take a look at the famous Liu Bei's wife Lady Mi and Lu Bu's concubine Lady Cao, he only took a look, and he definitely didn't have any other ideas.
In embarrassment. Liu Yu had to change the topic and said, "Yu'er." Is there anything else important lately? ”
Liu Yu glanced at Liu Yu, nodded, and said, "Yes, I received news that Sister Gongsun Ting is about to arrive in Luoyang." ”
Liu Yu, who successfully changed the topic, was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?" The Gongsun family actually sent the bride over without waiting for me to greet my relatives? ”
Liu Yu smiled slightly and said, "This is because the Gongsun family wants your husband and Sister Ting to get married as soon as possible, so that they can get the strategic materials you promised to support them as soon as possible." ”
"Not really. The Gongsun family is so greedy? Liu Yu said with some surprise: "Their family is already extremely rich, and when they were evacuated, they looted a lot of money and grain from the three counties of Qingzhou and Youbei. And now you want to get strategic materials from me? Hmph, they're really daydreaming! ”
Liu Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Husband, you are wrong to blame the Gongsun family this time, and their life is not easy now." ”
Liu Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "What's wrong?" Is it the unfavorable situation of the war? ”
Liu Xuan nodded and said, "The Gongsun family has many cavalry, and the soldiers are also accustomed to fighting on the plains, while the Sanhan region is mountainous. Although the Gongsun family's combat effectiveness is not weak, due to the environment, it is simply impossible to take down Sanhan in a short period of time. Today, nearly 400,000 soldiers and civilians belonging to them are gathered in the small county of Obifang, and although they are also engaged in production, the daily consumption of materials is still far greater than the income from production. In addition, their forces have basically withdrawn from the three counties of Youbei now, and it can be said that there is no source of materials. Just relying on their family wealth to maintain it, I'm afraid that in less than a year, the Gongsun family will have to ask for food! In the face of this economic crisis, it is no wonder that they are not in a hurry! ”
Liu Yu frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "That's why they can't wait to take the initiative to send Gongsun Ting to Luoyang to marry me, in exchange for my support?!" Hmph, what else do you say Gongsun Ting is the most precious jewel of the Gongsun family, but she would be so neglected about her marriage...... For the sake of the so-called family interests, no matter how precious the orb is, it will not be easily discarded! ”
Liu Yu sighed lightly, hugged Liu Yu and said: "Even if the woman in the family is favored, she will give up some of her things for the benefit of the family at some point, which is something that cannot be changed. But fortunately, Sister Ting is already in love with her husband, so she has the best of both worlds! ”
Liu Yu was able to understand this approach of the family's gate valve, and he was not arrogant enough to think that he could change all this, so he just sighed and changed the topic: "By the way, it was the one from the Gongsun family who came to Luoyang with Gongsun Ting this time?" ”
Liu Xuan looked a little unbearable and said: "Because the war between Sanhan is tight, the only Gongsun clan who went to Luoyang was Sister Ting's biological mother. ”
How? Is it really impossible to get out of the body, or does it not want to see me? Snorting, Liu Yu asked slightly angrily: "So, as soon as Gongsun Ting arrives, we will get married immediately?" ”
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, August 26 is an auspicious day for marriage, and the happy event between you and Sister Ting is set on that day." ”
"It's only ten days. Is it too late? ”
"Don't worry, husband, the concubine will never make a mistake!"
##########################################################
It stands to reason. Liu Yu and Gongsun Ting can't meet before marriage, but of course Liu Yu, who is in power, will not take this kind of etiquette to heart. On the second day of Gongsun Ting's arrival, Liu Yu asked her out alone. Maybe I haven't heard of it, or maybe I don't care about it, in short, Gongsun Ting didn't pay attention to this pre-marital custom and happily agreed.
As soon as they met, Liu Yu said softly: "I didn't pick you up in person yesterday. You can't blame me, do you? ”
Gongsun Ting shook her head and said softly, "No, I know you're busy!" ”
Liu Yu couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw her somewhat restrained appearance. said: "Can I call you Tingting?" ”
Gongsun Tingqiao's face flushed, but she still nodded in shame. Seeing her shy and lovely appearance, Liu Yu couldn't help but have the idea of prank, and said again: "Since Liu Yu has called you 'Tingting'." Then you can call me 'husband' instead!" ”
Gongsun Ting's pretty face immediately turned red. Under the urging of Liu Yu's gaze, she finally called "husband" in a voice as thin as a mosquito. Liu Yu laughed, happily took her white and delicate little hand, and led her to the pavilion in the garden.
After taking a seat, Liu Yu carefully looked at this peerless beauty who had only been in touch with one side. I saw that her skin was like condensed fat, bullying frost and snow, with a pair of dark and deep eyes, and the water was rippling. Just like the shining stars in the sky, it seduces people's souls. Ying Ying's slender waist. A jade item as white as a swan......
Under Liu Yu's scorching gaze, Gongsun Ting's shy face was covered with red clouds, like colorful clouds in the sky, which made people feel drunk. Some of the overwhelmed Gongsun Ting could only rub the corners of her clothes with her delicate hands, but she didn't know that she had a different flavor in Liu Yu's eyes.
"You ......" Gongsun Ting, who had just said a word, was glared at by Liu Yu, and she was slightly stunned, and then she changed her words and asked, "Husband, what are you looking at?" ”
"Hehe, I didn't see anything. I just think that you haven't seen you for a few years and have become much more beautiful, but your face seems to be a little haggard, is it because the road is too hard? ”
Gongsun Ting's expression followed Liu Yu's words and then joy, she touched her face and said, "The road is not hard. My mother and I sat in the carriage sent by Lord Cheng in Youzhou, and we didn't feel bumpy at all. My face is bad, maybe because I didn't sleep well last night, right? ”
"Why didn't you sleep well? Is it because you are not used to this unfamiliar environment? Liu Yu asked with concern.
"The environment here is very beautiful, I like it very much, and I am not used to it." Gongsun Ting shook her head, and then said with a happy expression: "Yesterday, I chatted with Sister Xuan and them all night, and I didn't sleep much, so I look a little haggard today." ”
Liu Yu naturally knows why Gongsun Ting has a happy expression, that is because she has been very lonely and lonely since she was a child, although she has been loved by thousands of people in Gongsun's house, but there is no bosom friend who can play together. Back then, she and Fan Lihua fell in love very much at first sight, and later met Liu Xu, Cai Yan and others with similar temperaments through letters, and their friendship deepened day by day. Now that good friends have become sisters, of course we have to have a good chat after we meet!
"What are you all talking about?"
Perhaps it was because she had relaxed, and Gongsun Ting seemed less restrained. A hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and the coquettish look in Liu Yu's memory appeared on her pretty face, and she said innocently: "We talked about everything, but we didn't talk about husband!" ”
Liu Yu deliberately put on an angry look, which made Gongsun Ting giggle. In her slightly coquettish laughter, Liu Yu asked the doubts that had been in her heart for a long time: "Tingting, we have only met once, why did you fall in love with me?" ”
"Husband, do you remember the poem you wrote for me at my father's birthday banquet?" Without waiting for Liu Yu to answer, Gongsun Ting lowered herself to herself: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, Gongsun Ting, who moves the Quartet with a sword weapon; The viewer is depressed like a mountain, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time; Huo Ruyi shoots nine sunsets, like a group of emperors and dragons; Come like thunder to restrain anger, and let it be like the river and sea condensing the light. ”
Liu Yu was a little surprised and a little proud, and asked, "Could it be that you were taken down by this poem?" (To be continued.) )
