In the ninth year of Yongkang in Daqi, the Central Plains was stable, and the four seas stopped.
After several years of conquest in the north, several steppe tribes successively submitted to the Celestial Empire, and the rest also migrated to the desert; After the marriage of Princess Qingning and the second prince of the Southern Xinjiang Yue Kingdom, it also returned to Daqi, and although the queen was knighted, she had become a courtier of Daqi.
There are many good women in the land, and it is rich in spices and medicinal materials, pearls and jade treasures and rare birds and beasts, which have always been coveted by the Central Plains countries.
The founding emperor of the previous dynasty, Han Gaozong, once sent 300,000 troops to this extremely hot territory, full of mountains and poisonous insects, and was met with fierce resistance and counterattack by South Vietnam, suffering heavy losses, and finally failed to return. Although the king of Yue in the past dynasties was a woman, he was able to hold the happy land of southern Xinjiang when the Central Plains was in dispute, and he was a god-like existence in the hearts of the subjects of Yue.
Now the soldiers have to be attached to Nanyue without blood, Emperor Qi is Longyan Dayue, so the Yue country was renamed Yuezhou, under the Yong'an, Jiaozhou and other seven counties, with the original Yue capital Yong'an County as the hub to control the counties, still governed by the Yue King.
In the blink of an eye, nearly 20 years have passed since South Vietnam was annexed to Daqi.
In the middle of the mountains, where the miasma looms, wild beasts and the occasional bandit lod, a solitary courtyard is hidden among the jungle.
Three or five stone houses sit on flat ground on a hillside with a hard backdrop to a mountain wall. Fruit trees were planted in the courtyard, and the hedge made of thorns in front of it was already thick, and the courtyard gate was left in the middle, which was also made of wood, which looked very strong.
Just after the upper side, the warm wind is intoxicating, the wild peaches in the mountains bloom very well, the clouds are steaming, and the ground is light red.
The delicate young woman in a coarse cloth dress sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, and her jade hands picked up the mountain mushrooms picked back in the morning from the basket on the stone table. When she turned her head and saw her husband coming out of the house with her daughter in her arms, she couldn't help but smile.
"Wan'er woke up?" The voice is gentle and beautiful, which is set off by its bright complexion.
"I just woke up somehow, I'm in a daze at this moment."
Xiao Yifei nodded, walked slowly to the stone table and sat down, glanced at the pink villain in his arms, and his hands swayed skillfully.
"Don't you see any snakes, insects, rats, and ants that are scared, right?" Su Ying put down the pine mushroom in her hand, approached her daughter's little face to take a closer look, and stretched out her hand to tease it.
"How's the village you watched? It's better to move there as soon as possible. The two of us have lived in the mountains for a long time, but there is nothing, and we can't let Wan'er grow up in isolation. ”
Xiao Yifei stretched out one hand to grab his wife, and said with a smile: "The house is already good, I originally wanted to wait for you to raise it for a longer time before moving, and then Wan'er will bring some better, so that you won't have to work so hard." ”
"I've been recuperating long enough, and I'm not afraid of this exertion." Su Ying smiled and turned her head to look at Xiao Yifei, "Speaking of which, I think about it, Wan'er has been five months, and it is time to officially take her name." ”
"Isn't it already famous?" Xiao Yifei was a little surprised when he heard this.
Su Ying was not happy, she glanced at her husband and said, "That's a nickname, you as a father don't plan to be perfunctory like this, right?" Don't be lazy, come up with a good name. ”
His beloved wife was angry, how dare Xiao Yifei slack off, and said with a smile: "Madame is angry, I thought that the nickname was the eldest girl and the second mother or something, how could I ever think that my family Wan'er is so elegant and also has a nickname, but I am confused." ”
Su Ying replied with disgust, teased her daughter again, and continued to pick the basket of various mushrooms.
Xiao Yifei looked at the pearl in her palm, but saw that the bright sunlight reflected her thin white face, which became more and more radiant and lovely. His eyes flashed, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "Yue, Shenzhu also, meaning noble and auspicious, worthy of my Wan'er, do you think it?" ”
……
The sun was very dazzling in the early morning, shining brightly in all directions, so that Xiao Yu couldn't help but shrink his eyes slightly when he saw it. She lowered her head and hurried to school.
Xiao Yu is never late, and today he is as light as a meteor catching the moon. When I arrived at the door of the classroom, I saw that although it was quiet, it was already full of people. The teacher stopped the chalk that was still flying on the blackboard in his hand and cast a stern look at her.
"Why are you late?" The teacher frowned in displeasure.
The students also looked at each other in unison.
Xiao Yu was dumbfounded. I went out very early today, and I walked very fast on the road, without any delay, why was I late?
I panicked, and the scene in front of me dissipated, returning to darkness and chaos, but the trance was a dream.
Xiao Yu's mind calmed down for a moment, and then he sighed silently. It would be nice to be able to go back in time. She had delusions in her dreams countless times, and when she woke up, she found herself still sitting in the elementary school classroom, and the teacher was talking on the podium.
However, even dreaming is good, it is better than lying half-dead in a hospital bed in a daze, only this time it seems that I have slept for a long time.
There was a milky cry clearly in his ears, which shook his chest faintly, and then Xiao Yu felt his body shake slightly, and a man comforted him softly: "Wan'er, don't cry, Daddy hug." Don't cry, Daddy loves you. ”
In a daze, Xiao Yu strangely realized that he was crying, and immediately stopped talking after a long time.
Is it still in a dream? How did you become a little doll? But this scene is so real that people can't tell the difference between reality and dreams.
It took a long time for Xiao Yu to react, and when she tried to open her eyes, she vaguely saw a large patch of delicate pink overhead, and small birds frolicking on the branches, jumping around mischievously.
An extremely gentle and beautiful female voice clearly came into her ears, and Xiao Yu was immediately attracted.
I only heard the woman say: "Legend has it that Yue is a treasure that the gods and sparrows dedicated to the ancient sages, and it can be used to control the fortune of the country." Although I'm not worried that Wan'er won't be able to suppress such a divine object, my heart is blocked when I hear this emperor or something. I only wish Wan'er peace and joy in her life, and stay as far away from those power struggles and grievances as possible. ”
"Madame doesn't like it, so let's change it." The deep and nice male voice said, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be a little fascinated.
Su Ying smiled, grabbed a pine mushroom in her hand, and said, "Yunqi, do you say that this divine pearl is still left in the world?" I seem to have seen a record somewhere, saying that Yue is the essence of beautiful jade, and wearing it can ward off evil spirits, which is stronger than any spiritual elixir, and I think it can also avoid nightmares. ”
Xiao Yifei smiled: "You just said that you want to stay away from right and wrong, could this be that you want to find Wan'er again?" Do you still think that the name of this Yue character has something to do with the battle of the emperor, and you are not afraid of being guilty of it when you have it in hand? ”
Su Ying coughed lightly and said, "I'll just think about it." Do you say that there are really immortals in this world? ”
"Myths and legends should have their reasons, everything in the world is extremely mysterious, and Daqi still has the ruins of no traces of piercing, maybe the emperor of the ancient sages really has the assistance of immortals."
Xiao Yu was leisurely fascinated.
"A lot of people think so. It is said that the Taizu of Nanyue obtained the ancient immortals and established the country with this. She has spent her life studying ancient texts, gossip on the five elements, and reading ancient books to find ancient treasures, in order to visit the way of the sages passed on by the immortals and establish an immortal deed. ”
Su Ying nodded.
"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Yifei was surprised, "I thought the so-called treasure was just the treasure house of the former Martial King of the Yue Kingdom. ”
"I also heard my mother say it when I was young, and now that my mother has passed away for many years, those ancient books have long been scattered. However, the Martial King Treasury didn't hear his mother mention it, and he didn't understand why the world thought that the Su family's relics had clues to the treasure. ”
Su Ying couldn't help but feel a little troubled when she said.
The ancestors handed down only a piece of jade pendant.
Xiao Yifei held his daughter in his right hand, hugged Su Ying with his left hand, and smiled gently: "It's okay if I don't know." I only want to grow old with you safely, with children safe and smooth, a harmonious family, and nothing else. Then let others fight for the emperor and the treasure. ”
Xiao Yu was fascinated by the legends and treasures in the mouths of the two of them, and when she heard the affectionate confession of the young man who seemed to be the father of her little doll now, she was so moved that she stretched out her little arms and kicked her legs, grinning and spitting bubbles.
Then she felt herself doing this childish action, and she paused. It's so true! It's not like dreaming!
Su Ying saw her daughter dancing with her hands, and touched her little head with pity, before she said, "What do you say about the name of the descendants of the Xiao family?" According to the genealogy, the Su family to Wan'er's generation is from the jade character. ”
"Then let's take a name related to jade." Xiao Yifei said, "My side branch of the Xiao family has long since declined, and there is nothing to pay attention to." ”
Su Ying tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you call Xiao Yu?" Jinyu, Meiyu also. Yu Yiyu's brilliance, I hope she can be as smooth as jade, with a comfortable voice and a clean quality. There is no need to take another word, Jin is excellent. ”
"So you've thought about it a long time ago." Xiao Yifei's voice was slightly low, with a little smile, "Madame is so well-intentioned, she will definitely be able to do everything well." ”
Xiao Yu was stunned again. Isn't that her name? Could it be that she dreamed of herself as a child?
But she didn't think much of it, and she felt a little drowsy again. Now that I have less and less time to be awake, I have been sick for so many years, and finally I can't bear it? Maybe one day when you close your eyes, you won't be able to wake up again, and you'll be completely liberated.
After all, the three-month-old child has limited energy, not to mention that he didn't seem to sleep well last night, Xiao Yifei saw the daughter in his arms slowly close her eyes and seemed to be asleep.
"Minmin, you really don't plan to let Wan'er follow your surname Su?"
Xiao Yu, who couldn't resist the onset of sleepiness, didn't grasp the point of this sentence at that time, but couldn't help but stiffen for a while, and sighed silently in his heart: Minmin...... Such a nickname can be called so naturally and smoothly, this is definitely not my own father!
Xiao Yifei noticed his daughter's subtle reaction, frowned and said worriedly: "Wan'er, what's wrong?" Is it another nightmare? ”
Su Ying hurriedly took her daughter from her husband and patted her softly.
The pink and white milk doll yawned, and before long, fell asleep. Seeing this, Su Ying showed a gentle smile, thought about it, took out a flower-shaped jade pendant from her arms, tied it around her daughter's neck with a red rope, and put it in her clothes.
This is the treasure jade handed down by the ancestors, which has the effect of dispelling poison and removing filth. Thinking of this, Su Ying's face softened even more, and she got up and carried her daughter back to the house.
