Chapter 41: Marrying
MoreChapter 41 Marrying
When Dou Xian returned to Beijing, Liu Zhao personally went out of the city to pick him up. He wore a winter black crown embroidered with nine dragons, with the emperor's yellow red ribbon, which was yellow and cyanine, two feet nine feet nine inches long, and five songs, representing the dignity of heaven.
Above Dou Xianyi, there are loess mats, incense, candles and flowers to welcome and send off, and salute as to the gods. He has long been carried away, at this moment he is surrounded by thousands of horses, sitting on a white horse, with yellow reins in his hands, looking at the surname Xianghuali wine and dancing in the dust, like a wheat wave blowing in the wind.
He was a great general who made immortal achievements, and he returned to the dynasty victoriously. No one can surpass him, not even Wei Qing and Huo Quai, in his eyes, they are like dust.
He indulged in his own scenery, as if he had just drunk a fine wine, the flags on the chariot were flying in the wind, and the wind was like a flocculent, and his eyes were blazing, and he walked towards the team that greeted him.
One of the accompanying Lang officials came out and played: "Your Majesty, General Dou has made outstanding achievements and has surpassed the public, and he should be treated with royal courtesy.
Liu Zhao's face was very ugly, he sneered but was silent, and the anger in his heart had reached a point. Shangshu Han Ling said: "When you interact with people above, you can't flatter; Do not be disdainful in associating with others. Don't you understand this? In terms of etiquette, only the emperor can say long live, and no one also calls the minister 'long live', are you a person who was frightened by Dou Xian and lost his dignity and proportion? Do you still want to bow down and show respect? Then what kind of official are you doing in the Han Dynasty, just be a dog of Dou Xian! ”
Han Ling's words were serious, and the face of the speaker immediately turned the color of pig liver, and it was difficult to refute, so he had to close his mouth in shame and dare not say more.
Liu Zhao was very satisfied with Han Ling's words, and he said to Yuan An, who was standing next to him: "Situ, Han Shangshu is a usable material, and he can be promoted." ”
Yuan Anxin smiled secretly, but said with a straight face: "The minister has written it down!" Your Majesty, can you be promoted to the rank of court lieutenant? Liu Zhao nodded: "Yes, that's it!" The two of them muttered quietly, Dou Xian's team had arrived in front of them.
Liu Zhao sat on the chariot and did not move, but saw that all the ministers knelt down and bowed: "The general is victorious and returns to the court, I wish the general Futai good health!" ”
Dou Xian got off the horse and walked in front of Liu Zhao to salute. Liu Zhao stood up, helped him up with both hands and said, "Uncle is hard, please get up quickly." "Only by removing his robe can he be regarded as unarmouring him.
He pulled Dou Xian into his chariot and instructed: "Today, my uncle has made great achievements, and he will go into the city with me and let the officials and people worship." ”
When the Tongzan official saw it, he hurriedly sang: "Licheng! He trotted along. The officials were in a great confusion for a while, and they had to arrange their shifts in order and follow them into the city.
Most of the surnames in the city looked lively, but when they saw Dou Xian and the emperor entering together, there was a buzz immediately, and they were envious, and they knelt down and kowtowed.
After Dou Xian entered the palace first, Dou Hou naturally praised him again, and gave countless gold, silver and jewelry, not to mention.
Dou Xian was in a hurry to return home, because there was still a Jinsi County Lord waiting for him at home.
Dou Xian's family already has a group of wives and concubines, but he still has something else to think about this Jinsi county lord. First of all, he heard that Jin Si was the first beauty of the Huns, and secondly, he knew that Jin Si was only seventeen years old, which was the most beautiful age for girls, and the older wives and concubines in his family could not be compared. Then he received a great gift from the king of the right valley.
Dou Ku had already led the family to greet him at the door. Dou Xian saw his wife and concubine and several children and daughters, so he couldn't wait to ask Dou Kudao: "Lord Jinsi has arrived."
Dou Ku whispered: "General, I arrived early, arranged to go to Zhuo Ranju, and asked the general this morning." ”
Dou Xian said happily: "Okay, you arrange it, I'll go see her now." ”
Dou Mansion is large, and Zhuo Ran lives in the depths of the back garden. Dou Xian is different from others, there are not so many flowers and plants in the back garden, but there are many trees planted, and the forest is dense and grassy, but it is like entering the mountains. He raised some deer free-range, and the deer whined and had a special interest.
Dou Ku trotted across the path and went inside to report the news. Dou Xian entered the main room to change into his regular clothes, took a bath, and felt that the fatigue of his whole body was gone. He unexpectedly combed his beard, and he didn't comb it for a long time, which took him a lot of time, and he finally felt refreshed, so he stood up and walked towards Zhuo Ranju.
Seeing that he got the door of Zhuo Ranju, he saw a servant girl running out of it and hitting him head-on, so frightened that his face was already bloodless, he knelt down on his knees, and said in a trembling voice: "General, slave and maid are reckless, please forgive the general!" ”
Dou Xian was in a good mood, and saw that she was still a little beautiful, but he didn't get angry, he just pulled her up and asked, "What are you running, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
"The county lord lost his temper inside, saying that the general came so late, he didn't take her seriously, let me go to the general!" She was held by Dou Xian's hand, her face couldn't help but flush, and her voice became softer.
"Oh, I'm not here! Go down! Dou Xian said, leaving her and entering Zhuo Ranju.
The sound of cicadas came densely from the cascading leaves, and although it was evening, it was still unbearably hot. Ice cubes are placed in the Zo Ran Curie to make people feel refreshed as soon as they come in.
Jin Si was dressed in a plain white short skirt, with half an arm holding the same color snow silk yarn, almost transparent. Slightly exposed, the hair was only lightly pulled in a bun on the top of the head, and it was long draped over the body. She walked back and forth on the carpet with a pair of snow-white lotus root-like feet. A maidservant served the chilled chrysanthemum wolfberry honey tea, and she took a sip of it, feeling that the anger had subsided slightly.
But at this moment, I saw a tall man with a beard standing at the door. He only wore a casual robe, revealing his chest with chest hair, Jin Si's face flushed, knowing in his heart that this person must be Dou Xian, but he didn't get up, only gently stirred the tea a few times with a white jade spoon, and there was a crisp sound between the bowl and the spoon occasionally colliding.
Dou Xian made a look, and the maids in the house all retreated, leaving only Dou Xian and Jin Si. Dou Xian squinted his eyes at Jin Si, who seemed to be dew, and a fire flashed in his eyes.
But he still smiled slightly, took the tea that Jin Sizheng was drinking, drank it all, and said: "I am Dou Xian, does the county lord miss me?" ”
Jin Si got up gracefully, deliberately showing the curves of her body more exquisitely, she gently grabbed Dou Xian's Hu with her hand, "General, my father gave me to you, do you think I can be a treasure in your hand?" ”
Dou Xian took her into his arms, and her petite body struggled slightly, but it made Dou Xian even more thirsty. He whispered in a hoarse voice, "It's worth it, I'll treat you like a treasure." After speaking, he picked up Jin Si and walked to the inner room.
The next day, Dou Xian announced that he would officially marry the lord of Jinsi as a concubine and marry him in the future. As soon as the news spread, it immediately became a topic of discussion among thousands of people in the capital. As soon as the general returned to Beijing, he was going to marry a concubine, which was a good opportunity to give gifts, so in one day, the people who lined up in front of the Dou Mansion to give gifts had been discharged a mile away.
Yuan Xian and Ren Kui also got the news and reported back to Liu Zhao. Liu Zhao smiled slightly, put down the book in his hand, looked at the green scenery outside the green screen window, and said lightly: "You two don't do anything these days, go to Dou Xian's Mansion to keep an eye on, as long as you come to give gifts, you must record it." I'm useful. ”
Yuan Xian and Ren Kui glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Well, the ministers will do it." ”
One of them was at the front gate, and the other was at the back door, and they found a shady place and sat on the ground. It's much more comfortable than those outside the door who are basking under the sun, waiting to be registered. In fact, there is no need to inquire, there are people in the door who have called for a report, and the waiter Wang Xu sent twelve good pearls, two gold and jade brocade strings, and two jade horses. Li Duwei sent 10,000 taels of silver and 20 splendid horses. Every time the person behind the report began to discuss, whether it was less than what he sent, and so on. This gave Yuan Xian and Ren Kui convenience, and they didn't need to inquire at all, and the person who called for the report would report the person's name and etiquette clearly, and he would save more trouble and more trouble. In the middle of the day, the two of them only brought some food and kept guard in front of the door.
Of course, it is impossible for no one to see it in the Dou Mansion, but I just feel that the Dou family is powerful, even if someone in the court collects evidence to impeach him, it is not a matter if there is a future in the court. Seeing that the day had come, Dou Xian officially married the county lord of Jinsi.
Of course, Jin Si has long been grinding with Dou Xian's ears and temples, but she is the county lord, and she always has to get by on her face, and the ceremony of marrying is for everyone to see, when she came to the hall in a red wedding dress, everyone looked sideways and praised her beauty. This made Jinsi even happier. After the salute, Dou Xian couldn't help but take care of everyone's faces, and went to drink with the guests, of course, he returned drunk. Jin Si was naturally unhappy, but when Dou Xian brought the gifts from the guests to her in the evening and asked her to play, she was even more convinced that she had chosen the right person!
When Yuan Xian and Ren Kui happily handed over the brochure to Liu Zhao, Liu Zhao looked them up and down and asked, "You Mao Ran recorded in front of the Dou Mansion, and no one asked?" ”
Yuan Xian said: "The minister is at the main gate of Dou Mansion, some of those people came over and walked around, and then left, no one asked me." ”
Ren Kui said: "Your Majesty, the two of us are wearing plain clothes, we don't dare to show off, we just act like scholars, if they are suspicious, I think we just think too much." ”
Liu Zhao bit his lip, his eyes were like ice, staring out the window, no one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, he said word by word: "Dou Xian can be killed!" He doesn't take me and Manchu Wu in his eyes anymore. ”
Ren Kui glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty thinks that they actually know what we are doing, but they are fearless and don't take it seriously!" ”
Yuan Xiang said: "The minister also thinks so, Your Majesty, then what should we do next?" ”
Liu Zhao snorted and said: "I understand this principle, and you also understand, but now is not the time to deal with him." We need to have tangible evidence. Yuan Xian, you go to Zhou Rong and come over, I have something to tell him. Ren Kui, you go to announce the decree, Chang Cao praises etiquette, is loyal to the royal family, and is appointed as the governor of Yulin Left Cavalry on the same day. ”
He picked up his little bow and arrow again, and by this time he had pulled it more than enough. He pointed the arrow at the blue sky, and there were white clouds in the sky, but he didn't really shoot it, but he stared at it for a long time before he suddenly let out a breath, and his face suddenly became unusually easy-going and amiable, with a smile on his face.
He said loudly: "I'm in a good mood, tomorrow, let's go hunting!" ”
