Chapter 751: Huaichun
Song Sheng sat on the horse in a daze, and before he could react, the young general in the unicorn robe opposite had already strolled to the front, smiled at him, and said, "But General Song Sheng is in person?" ”
"Ahh It's the old man......"
As soon as he saw the general making a gesture to himself, Song Sheng didn't think that this person was the Duke of Fuguo, and only thought in his heart: "The third daughter of the emperor is married to Ganliang, presumably accompanied by the imperial family or the military attache of the governor, but I don't know which prince or which governor this is, the third kid is really a bastard, ask you to greet your relatives, which dignitaries and nobles are coming, you send a letter back in advance, which makes the old man so embarrassed." ”
Song Sheng pondered, and then arched his hand and said: "I don't know what is ...... under my feet."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "In Xia Yang Xu, I have long admired the name of the old general Song, and I am really fortunate to see him today!" ”
"Oops!"
When Song Sheng heard that it was really the Duke of Fuguo, he was shocked, hurriedly rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, hurriedly stepped forward to see the military salute, hugged his fists and said: "The last general, Song Sheng, has seen the Duke of Fuguo." The last general does not know that the prince is in front of him, and he is rude, and he asks the prince not to ......"
Xia Xun couldn't let him bow down, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said softly: "Don't be polite to the old general, the old general has guarded Xiliang for more than 20 years, and his prestige is in the peerless domain." Yang Xu is full of admiration for his martial arts, and it is Yang Xu's honor to meet the old general today and work with the general! Yang Xu's worship is the senior, the worship is the hero, the old general deserves it! ”
Song Sheng saw that he was sincere and had no hypocrisy, and he couldn't help but feel happy. The sedan chair is carried by everyone, and the dignified prince can treat him so respectfully and courteously, and in front of so many officials and subordinates, what a big face!
Song Sheng laughed, grabbed Xia Xun's hands tightly with a big hand, shook it vigorously, turned his head and saw that his second son and a group of generals were still riding on horses in a daze, and couldn't help shouting: "The old man is dizzy, are you also like the old man?" Why haven't you dismounted and seen Guogong? ”
Song Sheng's shout woke up those generals, and they hurriedly pulled the saddle and dismounted one by one, and came forward one after another!
Song Sheng is a wise general and a fierce general, both wise and brave, Yunwen and Wu. To govern the place of Xiliang, it is impossible to only understand martial arts and not be good at writing, and it is impossible to do it without martial arts, and only give birth to a stubborn person who has a lifetime of stubbornness, and a person who has no scheming in the end of a intestine can also not govern the Western Regions.
At the same time, he has guarded the Western Regions for more than 20 years, and he has never moved a place at all, with his current power and prestige in the Western Regions, as long as he raises his arms, it is enough to divide the land for autonomy and build a kingdom, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the two generations of male lords, have always trusted him, and never thought of transferring him to other places, and even Song Sheng asked to step down and return to the dynasty several times, but Zhu Di did not allow it.
In the face of the treacherous environment and intricate factions of the Western Regions, he needs to be both wise and brave; In the official field, he is even more clever. If it weren't for this, Song Sheng would have to follow in the footsteps of his first nine commanders when he arrived in Xiliang and couldn't manage the place well; If you govern a good place, you have to arouse the suspicion of the court because of your sharpness, and he has already retired after his success.
Song Shengneng has been guarding the Western Regions for more than 20 years, and he can have such great achievements, that is a feudal official with extremely clever political and military skills.
The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article.
Song Sheng has done an excellent job in this big article.
Today, Xia Xun's actions immediately won Song Sheng's favor. With his discerning eyes, he can naturally see that Xia Xun's words are sincere, not to mention that with Xia Xun's current status, there is no need to pat his ass at all.
People are like this, some people have been together for a lifetime, but they are also cold and indifferent and difficult to communicate, some people meet for the first time, and they feel very good after talking about it in a few words, Song Sheng and Xia Xun are like this: they are old at first sight.
The two people put their arms and talked for a while, then they each boarded their horses, and returned to the city under the escort of the generals, under the cold wind, the sergeants in the armor stood silently, countless fluttering flags hunted in the wind, the chariot driver and the guard of honor moved, and the cavalry, the escort cavalry, and the accompanying cavalry ......, each phalanx was orderly, galloping slowly to and fro, the formation changed, its momentum was like a mountain, and the military might was shocking.
Xia Xun's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Old general, this is the Ganliang Jingqi of Weizhen Western Regions, right?" ”
Song Sheng was also very proud of the elite cavalry he had carefully built, and he smiled and said: "Exactly, the Duke of the Kingdom came this time, and he led the elite soldiers of the Imperial Forest, and if the general does not come up with the best soldiers, I am afraid that the Duke of the Kingdom will be disappointed!" ”
Song Sheng said, smiled and glanced at the 30,000 elite cavalry behind Xia Xun's guard of honor, Xia Xun's 30,000 soldiers, all wearing armor, mighty and majestic, javelins, sabers, quivers, bow bags, riding shields, spears, horse lances, ......, all kinds of weapons are readily available, the armor is distinct, the saddle is neat, and the military power is very majestic.
With Song Sheng's eyesight of leading troops for many years, he just glanced at it in a flash, from the subtle changes in the hands, feet, limbs, and faces of this team in the cold wind, and from whether they coordinated with each other smoothly before marching, he could estimate their combat effectiveness, and he admired this team very much.
Xia Xun laughed and said: "These 30,000 elite horsemen are the elite of the Beijing camp one in a hundred, and most of them have fought in battle. However, the topography and geography of the Western Regions, the climate of the four seasons, and the characteristics of the combat of the troops are different from those of the Northern Xinjiang, and they still need to be tempered here to become a great weapon! ”
Song Sheng said: "Guogong is too modest! At the end of the tens of thousands of sweet and cool fine horses, but it lasted more than 20 years, gathered warriors of all ethnic groups with good bows and shots, and tempered them thousands of times, and today, the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Guogong are not the best of the best, and their personal combat power is naturally not bad, but now they look at their marching and cooperation with the incomparably tacit understanding, and the lines are integrated. ”
Xia Xun said in his heart: "If it weren't for the various methods used to train them along the way, I'm afraid you Song Houye wouldn't have said that." ”
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Old general, don't take a bite of a national duke, Yang Xu is a cousin Wenxuan, the old general calls me Wenxuan, otherwise from the mouth of the old general, Yang Xu is panicked!" ”
Song Sheng listened and said happily: "In this case, the old man will not be polite to you." Haha, Wen Xuan, the old man became in-laws with the emperor today, welcomed Princess Ancheng through the door, and became the daughter-in-law of my Song family. Wen Xuan's wife is the sister of the current queen, so in this way, the two of us are also relatives, and they should be equals, you don't want to be an old general, I call you Wen Xuan, you call me big brother, this is a family! ”
Xia Xun was overjoyed, he really wanted to make friends with such a true hero, so he was kind and immediately shouted: "Big brother! ”
Song Sheng threw his beard and laughed, and when they arrived at the Xining Marquis Mansion, the two were like old friends for many years, and they had nothing to talk about.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In order to hold a happy event, the Marquis of Xining has long been prepared.
The whole mansion is draped in red and hung with colors, blowing and beating gongs and drums.
Before the princess's guard of honor arrived at the city, she also stopped to re-decorate, and all kinds of colorful silks that had been prepared long ago were also tied to the car and horse neck, and the princess's dowry staff also changed into new clothes and hats.
The first thing Xia Xun did when he entered the city was to drink the wedding wine first.
The second son of the Marquis of Song, who is now the de facto eldest son, got married, not only the generals who could come from all the passes and guards came, but also gave generous gifts if they couldn't come, that is, the leaders of the forts and villages, the wealthy families, and even the heads and chiefs of the Fan, Mongolian, Hui, Qiang and other ethnic groups also came to congratulate.
The wedding of Princess Ancheng added a touch of spring to this cool winter.
The newly built Horse Mansion is next to the Xining Hou Mansion, two mansions, and there is an arch in the middle to communicate.
As Xia Xun's goddaughter, Tang Sai'er's little girl was also fortunate to attend the wedding, and as soon as she returned to the residence where Xining Hou Song Sheng arranged for them, Tang Sai'er said with great interest: "The bride is so beautiful!" ”
Xia Xun couldn't help but smile and said: "The bride has a hijab on her head, you haven't seen it, how do you know if it's beautiful?" ”
Tang Sai'er pursed her lips and said, "That red dress is beautiful!" There is also a golden phoenix embroidered on the clothes, and it is helped to move around, as if a fire cloud is floating! ”
On the side, Celine and Jeanne, who touched the scene, and the two blonde and blue-eyed turtles glanced at Xia Xun with their charming big eyes. Naturally, they don't dare to expect to be able to marry one day with a phoenix crown and a beautiful marriage, but they also hope that the red candle in the cave room and Lang Jun will accompany them!
They are the Le Ji of the inner house of the Fuguo Mansion, but in fact, the nature is the public and private property of the Fuguo, and even if they marry, they can't help themselves. According to the rules of ordinary large families, their future prospects are either to be taken by the master and become his concubine, or to be sold to others, and then they have been being a musician in the house, and when they are old, if the owner no longer likes to use them as decorations, if they are willing to be kind, they will be paid a severance pay, and they will be sent out of the house, or marry or join the music family, all by themselves.
Of all the options, they certainly hope for the first outcome. Qiaoyun, the maid who has no one to provide the eldest lady, has now been accepted by the master, although the status and treatment are not as good as Ziqi and Xie two ladies, and not as good as Su Ying and Xiao Di, the two side room ladies, but after all, she is the master's woman, she has her own separate courtyard residence, and she has also allocated two maids to wait, managing part of the family's property, and the monthly silver per month is twice as high as that of the girl in the upper house of the inner house, if there is a child in the future, the treatment will be even higher.
Alas! Who called people Mrs. Ming's personal girl, the building near the water is better luck than them! The two girls are already ripe honey peaches, but they are never allowed to pick, not tasted, the spring boudoir is lonely, it is not helpless, and now the music they play is less cheerful and bright than the original girl, but a little entangled and compassionate.
This time Grandpa Guo took them out by name, and Mrs. Ming had that explanation, the two girls were looking forward to it along the way, but it was a pity that Grandpa Guo had not spoiled them, maybe there were many inconveniences in the military tent along the way, but now they have arrived in Gansu Town, and they have officially settled down, the two girls have suffered from gains and losses, and they have some resentment when they glanced at Xia Xun's eyes, perhaps...... And a little thirsty......
Won't the Convention call me to sleep tonight?
P: It's the end of the month, it's time to vote! Celine and Jeanne have already glanced at you with resentful eyes: "Wrongdoer, why don't you come to spoil others?" ”。 )
