Chapter 176
Si Hongrui shook his head and said, "It's too late, Suhelek will leave in three days." It's better to choose a date than to hit the day, anyway, it's just an engagement. Hurry up and prepare, it's set for the day after tomorrow. ”
In Xia Qingyun's study, Si Hongbowen was unabashedly happy.
"The emperor is still wise, otherwise, he will return to the field for his husband and not eat this imperial ration!"
Xia Qingyun fiddled with the tea set on the table and poured him the freshly brewed hot tea, "If you let the emperor know, I will cure you for a big crime of disrespect!" ”
Si Hong Bowen laughed: "What, do you still want to join me in front of the emperor?" ”
"The wall has ears, so you'd better be cautious."
"Good! Listen to your wife, there is meat to eat! ”
Xia Qingyun glanced at him, "The more you talk, the more you look like it." You're going on an envoy in two days, but don't forget that there's a county lord who thinks about you! ”
Si Hong Bowen came to her side and kissed her lightly on the cheek, Xia Qingyun pushed him away with a smile, and was grabbed by his wrist and pulled into his arms.
"What, the lady is jealous? Don't worry, you are the only one in your husband's heart, and when I come back, we will get married, and let my father and mother hug their grandson as soon as possible! ”
Xia Qingyun blushed and said, "I didn't give birth to a child so early." My mother also said that we would get married again in two years. ”
Si Hong Bowen looked at her delicate and lovely appearance, and couldn't help but push her down on the couch, "Lady, anyway, you are my person sooner or later, it is better to do things in advance, steam rice and cook mature rice, and the children will give birth to a pair in two years!" ”
Xia Qingyun's face was like a red cloud, and he grabbed his powder fist and beat it. The two burst into laughter.
When my father and mother learned the news of the engagement, they were overjoyed. Although Xia Qingyun is going to move out of the palace temporarily, the county lord's mansion is also very close, and he is here during the day on weekdays, and he goes back to rest at night, which is no different from now.
The county lord's mansion was supposed to be renovated, but now the walls can only be painted first, and then some new furniture will be installed, and no major changes will be made for the time being. Wait for the engagement ceremony to find a craftsman to slowly rectify.
Zhen Guogong and his wife have always been low-key, and things came in a hurry. He didn't inform anyone else. Only the family of the Duke of Huguo and the predecessors of the Hua family and the Yao family who were familiar with Xia Qingyun were invited.
The engagement ceremony was simple and grand, Zhen Guogong and his wife exchanged birthday stickers with Xia Jianping and his wife, carried dozens of boxes of dowry gifts, and set up a few sumptuous banquets.
The Hua family and the Yao family have long regarded Xia Qingyun as a nobleman. Generous congratulatory gifts were prepared. Guests and hosts have fun. It was lively all day.
Qingmei cupped her cheeks and said enviously: "Sister Qingyun is really blessed!" The mother's family and the mother-in-law's family are a family, and Young Master Si Hong is handsome and capable, and only he can be worthy of Sister Qingyun. ”
Cher sighed, "It's a pity that Black Star isn't there. When he comes back, he should complain that good things are not waiting for him. In my opinion, Young Master Si Hong is still a little bit short of Sister Qingyun, but Sister Qingyun is willing, so it will be settled. ”
Qingmei glanced at her and said with a smile: "In your eyes, Sister Qingyun is a fairy in the sky, and no one can be worthy of her." ”
"Of course!" Xue'er nodded vigorously, "Tell me, if Sister Qingyun hadn't been a fairy, how could there be a wishful wish Treasure Pavilion?" How can you and I turn into human form and follow her? It can be seen that she is by no means mortal! ”
The four Zhiqiu who were in charge of guarding in the front yard listened to the laughter and laughter coming from inside, and they were also full of joy and sighed, Gongzi finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon, and the bitter lovesickness of the past two years finally ended up today.
Zhiqiu said: "Now that the barbarians in the southwest have been surrendered, and the grassland tribes have also concluded an alliance contract, I hope that there will be no more wars in the Qi country in the future, and the prince will be able to stay in the capital with the county lord with peace of mind." ”
Dark Moon sighed: "Childe has been fighting for the country since he was fourteen years old, and it has been more than ten years, so it's time for him to take a break." ”
"Don't forget, the capital is not peaceful!" Gumen held a blade of grass in his mouth and raised his eyes to the sky, "The matter of the harrier eagle's letter has not been clarified yet, but I am afraid that the son will be busy staying in the capital." ”
Jian Ying patted him on the shoulder, "Today is the day of great joy for the child, don't say something unsuitable." The day after tomorrow, let's all be vigilant, I hope that the journey will be smooth, and escort the son back to reunite with the county lord as soon as possible. ”
Just the day before Si Hong Bowen's departure, an uninvited guest came to the county lord's mansion.
Xue'er hurriedly pushed the door in, "Sister Qingyun, guess who wants to see you at the door?" ”
Xia Qingyun was sorting out the food to be brought to Si Hong Bowen on the road, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "Don't sell Guanzi, can you still be the emperor?" ”
Xue'er took a breath and said, "It's about the same." It's not the emperor of Great Qi, it's the little Khan Batu of the steppe tribe! ”
"Is that him?" Xia Qingyun stopped what he was doing, "What is he doing here?" He's the only one, is Lord Toya here too? ”
Xue'er shook her head and gestured, "As for himself, he still carries such a big box, saying that he is here to congratulate you, see or not?" ”
Xia Qingyun thought for a moment, "Invite him to the living room, and I'll go over." ”
She didn't have a very good impression of Batu. Shangyuan Lantern Festival, it was Batu who proposed to compete, which caused a series of troubles later.
He is not only the son of Suhelek, but also the military advisor of the steppe tribe, and his status is obviously higher than that of Toya County.
Xia Qingyun didn't believe that he would be so kind, and he could personally come to the door to congratulate him after his request for relatives was refused. Thinking that Si Hong Bowen was about to go alone to the Northwest Grassland, she decided to meet Batu for a while to see what kind of heart he had.
In the living room, Batu is holding his hands behind his back, admiring the ink paintings on the wall with a one-foot-square vermilion lacquer wooden box at his feet.
Today, he wore a moon-white brocade robe with gold trim, a silver otter fur hat, soap-colored thick-soled deerskin boots, and a Pisces jade silk silk and a short saber inlaid with precious stones hanging from his waist.
Seeing Xia Qingyun, Batu put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "I heard that the county lord of Taiping and General Zhenyuan are engaged, and Batu came to congratulate him." ”
Xia Qingyun smiled faintly, "Little Khan is polite, please take a seat." ”
In my heart, Batu's appearance is even more handsome than Si Hong Bowen. He was of mixed Persian and steppe descent, tall, with a high nose and deep eyes, and blue-gray eyes that were mysterious and deep, unlike Toya, his hair color was dark chestnut and slightly curled, which made his already sculptural face even more vivid.
Although Xia Qingyun is not from the appearance association, everyone has a love for beauty, and when he looks at it carefully, he can't help but sigh in his heart, a pair of children are born like this, what should their mother be beautiful, no wonder Suhelek wants to marry one of her as his wife.
After the greetings, Xia Qingyun got straight to the point and said: "You came here today, not just for gifts, Xiao Khan might as well say something directly." ”
Batu smiled, handsome like a man who had come out of an oil painting.
"The county lord is really smart. I've come to show my heart to the lord in person. ”
He stood up and solemnly saluted Xia Qingyun, "I didn't just ask my father Khan to marry for the sake of the friendship between the two countries. As soon as you see the flower hall of the Shangyuan Festival, your figure is like the bright moon in the sky, deeply imprinted in Batu's heart. Love at first sight is the truest portrayal of Batu's heart. (To be continued......)
