Chapter 36: Confiding
Su Xin was shocked and asked, "Feng Wang?" Who made the king? So, Grandpa Guo has done this world?! A foreign surname can't be crowned a king! This is a great grace! Isn't Madame comforting Su Xin?! Ah Xiu shook his head, looked firmly at the reasonable and grateful woman in front of him, and said: "Grandpa Guo will be the king in the coming year, or he will be the emperor in a few years." ”
After a pause, he said: "Of course, what you said is right, a foreign surname cannot be crowned a king." But Zhu Wen is our righteous son, and he has made great contributions to Yuanzhang, even if he is convicted and imprisoned, this merit is also to be rewarded, only because he can't be Wenzheng, so he is named Shouqian as the king of Jingjiang. ”
Seeing Su Xin listening quietly, it seemed that he still had some doubts, Ah Xiu said in a cross-sectional manner: "Now I only told you, and no one else knows." I can swear by heaven to sù you, Shouqian, the king of Jingjiang, can be hereditary for hundreds of years. ”
Ah Xiu lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "As I said earlier, Guogong will be Emperor Taizu in the future, so this king will also be the only royal family with a foreign surname who is not of Taizu blood!" The only thing I can give you may be this so-called honor. ”
Su Xin listened to it for a long time and didn't speak, probably thinking about digestion. After all, this kind of thing was outside the acceptable range of the female brain at that time. Ah Xiu took this risky move, also because of Xu Da's stimulation, which made her urgently need a listener, a henchman who could help her weigh up.
After a while, Su Xin stood up, straightened his clothes, with tears in his eyes, and looked at Ah Xiu and knelt straight down: "Mrs. Su Xinxie!" Great kindness, Su Xin has nothing to repay, I just want to ask the master mother, and when the time comes, I can try to help Wen Zheng to exonerate! Su Xin is a cow and a horse in this life, and follows Mrs. ”
Ah Xiu's long-term depression in her heart got a certain catharsis, and when she saw Su Xin like this, tears fell in her eyes again: "Su Xin, I will do my best, but for me, Wenzheng's fate is destiny." I've been trying to change my fate since I entered my father's marshal's mansion, but what was the result? I can only try to reduce the damage, but I can't prevent it from happening! ”
"Do you know how much it hurts? Remember that we are in our father-in-law's house, and we have to be careful every day when Grandpa Guo is punished? I could only wait for Yuanzhang to be put in the stable before I could save him. I can help him become the deputy marshal of Chengdu step by step, but I can't stop my father-in-law from being consistently defensive and indifferent to him! ”
Ah Xiu cried even more fiercely, but he was afraid that outsiders would hear it, so he still desperately lowered his voice and said: "There are so many stories, so many twists and turns, I can only endure and hide it!" Especially with the closest Yuan Zhang, I don't dare to say this, I am like roasting and boiling on the fire every day! ”
Su Xin also burst into tears, nodded, pulled out a handkerchief to wipe Ah Xiu's face, and listened to her continue: "I do know a lot of things, but I can't change them, especially the strange fire, the fire that burned half of my bed, and the cloth scroll that I recorded in the future. Except for some big things in my heart, I don't know when other things will happen. This feeling of just waiting for things to happen is even more painful than before! ”
Ah Xiu pulled Su Xin up from the ground, let her sit beside her, and continued: "I do know divination, but it's just a fist embroidery, at first I completely ignored this thing, until I lost the cloth scroll, I relied on divination to get a little comfort, at least, at least this feeling is no longer me walking alone with my eyes closed!" ”
"Half of my injuries this time are due to divination. I noticed that the enemy drew his bow and aimed at Grandpa Guo, and I could only save him with my life, and I could only fight for it with this open-mindedness. Because I love my father-in-law, Su Xin, do you know? I love him, but I can't say anything! ”
"I'm afraid that if I say it, I will ruin his love for me and ruin the qiē I have now! So when someone shoots him with a bow and arrow, I only have this life, which is a destiny and can be used to fight, and I have nothing else! ”
"I really made up my mind to marry you to Wen Zheng, just because I saw that you liked him, and you missed him. And I know that in the younger generation, only marrying you to him is the most noble, I don't want others to wronged you, Wenzheng and you are happy, I think you should be happy, do you understand? ”
"I wish you were going to be long! When I saw Shouqian, when I knew the year and month of his birth, I realized that I had not changed anything! I'm really afraid that I won't be able to fight for my destiny! Ah Xiu choked and grabbed Su Xin's hand, suppressed the surging tears, and couldn't speak.
Su Xin listened to it for so long, and while comforting Ah Xiu, she thought: It turns out that Mrs. is such a character, no wonder she is different from others. No wonder she can't see others bullying the small, no wonder she has been cautious, no wonder she often cries alone, how did she survive? Su Xin thought of all the things in the past, only to find that this fairy-like lady in her heart had so much bitterness and forbearance that was not enough for outsiders, thinking that she was so dedicated to raising other people's children, thinking that she was in a high position, and there was no one who could speak to her heart, and she felt that Mrs. was very hard.
So Su Xin let go of the so-called humility, hugged Ah Xiu in her arms, stroked her back, and cried: "Madam, you don't have to be so forbearing, from today on, Su Xin is your family." If you have any suffering, Suxin will help you share it, okay? ”
Ah Xiu nodded, quietly sobbing in Su Xin's arms, thinking: I didn't misread you, Su Xin. Let me be selfish for once, and let me tell you so many things. God, no matter how difficult it will be in the future, let me feel at ease and cry once. Okay? So the whole room, only these two women, who were comforting each other, wept quietly. ------------------------
The next day, August 26, the real decisive battle began. Ah Xiu saw the battle report sent by Xu Da privately: Chen Youliang plans to break through the encirclement from Nanhuzui and break out of the encirclement in order to escape back to Wuchang by the Yangtze River. Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the army, and when Chen Youliang marched to the mouth of the lake, he besieged it from all sides with boat divisions and fire rafts, and the Chen army could not break through, so he could only flee to the Jingjiang River, but he encountered the resistance of Chang Yuchun, who was ambushed there in advance, and repeatedly attacked, and could not escape.
Seeing this, Ah Xiu handed the military report to Su Xin, and he was full of emotion in his heart, such a hero, saving such a man is about to fall, the battle has been fought for so long, Chen Youliang is short of soldiers and food, and he has never been able to get out, and he is finally about to end as a hero.
Thinking that a few months after this stop, Zhu Yuanzhang will be crowned king, and then Huilan's agreement will soon expire, and then she will no longer have to fake pregnancy, and she seems to be more relaxed. Just as he was about to take a breath and talk to Su Xin, the military report came again: Chen Youliang was killed by an arrow, the remnants of his troops were scattered and routed, and tens of thousands of people surrendered.
Ah Xiu turned around to face Su Xin, and was just about to open his mouth to celebrate, when he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something, and his hand was raised in the air. Su Xin saw her like this, because there was something wrong with the military report, so she hurriedly took it from Ah Xiu's hand to see it, but it was all good news.
What did you forget? Why do you feel important and depressed, but can't remember? Is it old? Now that he has won, the next step is to clean up the battlefield and get back the rest of Chen Youliang's territory, which is nothing more than to capture the rest of the city.
Thinking of this, Ah Xiu's face suddenly changed: "I see! Su Xin checked the military newspaper again and again, was startled by her shouting, and hurriedly asked her what was wrong, Ah Xiucai came back to her senses, and smiled awkwardly: "Look at me, I am probably old, and I have to think about everything for a long time." ”
Sighing, Ah Xiu said, "It's Chen Youliang's concubine." Grandpa Guo has been angry for a long time, and he hates Chen Youliang very much, and now that Chen Youliang is dead, Yuanzhang will definitely have to vent, and the rest of the city is not to worry, but this Chen Youliang's concubine is a bad hidden disease. ”
Su Xin was surprised: "What does Madam mean, will this little concubine use foxy means to approach Grandpa Guo?" Does she want revenge?! This can't be done, Madame sent a message to Tang and asked them to remind Grandpa Guo! ”
As soon as the words came out, Su Xin himself shook his head: "No, this matter can't be persuaded clearly, it's easy to attract suspicion, if you don't say it, if the grandfather of the country is also suspicious, it will be difficult for Mrs. to do." Madame might as well find a henchman and hire a killer to strike first, except for that evil. ”
Ah Xiu was stunned: Is this a good way? I haven't heard that the woman assassinated Yuan Zhang, and it seems that she gave birth to a son to Yuan Zhang, but is it a posthumous son? But since it's the one who is going to give birth to a son, the assassination is a bit cruel, so let's think about it in the long run.
"No need, just a woman. In the troubled times, the death of her husband is nothing more than seeking protection from someone, so let's wait and see what happens, as long as there are no words and deeds that go beyond the bounds, I don't care. Ah Xiu looked at Su Xindao. Su Xin is not a ruthless person, but she just doesn't want her wife to have a hard time. Since she will not endanger the safety of Grandpa Guo and Mrs. Guo depending on Madame's meaning, she will stay. In the final analysis, in this world, I am afraid that only Mrs. is the most wronged. Su Xin also sighed.
Ah Xiu saw that she was sullen and knew that she felt that she was too weak and kind, so she shook her wrist with a smile and coaxed her: "That's it, you care about me so much, when I am bullied, or I am too old to be favored, you and Shouqian will move in with me!" ”
Su Xin saw that she was so kind and came to coax herself, shook her head and sighed: "Madam is just a bodhisattva's heart, and she doesn't know the badness of the people below. Only Su Xin knows that many subordinates are extremely powerful, and they like to chew the root of their tongues. Madame is heavy-hearted, but she doesn't want Madame to be sad! ”
Seeing her say this, Ah Xiu deliberately made a pitiful expression and said, "Yes, yes, look, haven't they been pleading with Grandpa Guo to snatch my bid and go to the war with him these days?" Ay! Only you are left with me, sister! Seeing her like this, Su Xin couldn't help laughing: "Madam teased Su Xin again!" However, since Mrs. called me a sister, I had no regrets, so I recognized this sister with a thick face! It's just that who dares to bully my sister in the future will be honest, and it will be impossible to decide! ”
Seeing Su Xin's determination, Ah Xiu also took off his pitiful expression, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes!" You see, I lost these few days, but I won back a sister! The above name is worth several bids! Tell me if it's worth it! ”
