Chapter Forty-Three: Nine?

The spring breeze dawns.

Outside the city of Suzhou, the number of foreign business travelers entering the customs has also decreased by eighty percent compared with autumn, and the yellow sand is vast for thousands of miles, which looks slightly depressed. However, the huge sea of flowers on the shore of Mandarin Duck Lake has long been purple and red, and it is a little more beautiful than the Yanyu Jiangnan.

The wooden house is still quietly in the middle of the sea of flowers, the cradle and deck chairs are placed in place, the wind chimes are swaying in the never-ending breeze, and countless flowers are rippling with the wind.

In Suzhou City, the Suwang Mansion at the end of Baishi Avenue, two rows of willow trees have been tied with red flowers, red lanterns are hung high on the vermilion lacquer gate, and the three doors are wide open.

King Su, who was full of gorgeous hair, wearing a golden crown and a python robe, stood on the roof of the building, holding a large drawing in his hand, and had a bird's-eye view of the main hall square below, and sometimes said:

"Yang Zunyi, are you left and right? When you are ready to worship the high hall, let the king turn his back to the newcomer? ”

Under the command of King Su, one of the generals of the Four Roads, Yang Zunyi, the general of the East Road who held the 50,000 Xiliang Army, carried a yellow rosewood chair weighing more than 300 pounds, raised his head and said with a smile:

"Just put it down and turn it around, and besides, what's your back to? The superior should have lived behind the veil and could not let people see the face......"

"Okay, when you eat the wine, you face the wall, and that's it......"

"Haha......"

The generals Tu Qianchu, Chen Jiye, and Wei Chi Zhenbei laughed heartily when they heard this.

The four generals of the Xiliang Army, their parents all fought with the general Xu Lie back then, and their children were naturally born and died together since childhood.

The son of King Xu You of Su got married immediately, and the generals of the four roads were all uncles, so naturally they all ran back and personally went down to help arrange the wedding venue.

It's just a military general who leads the troops to fight, and he may be able to set up camp, and this decoration of the house is obviously a layman, and the feng shui and attention are not clear, and the royal family does not dare to find faults, so they can only follow behind and adjust secretly.

Lilac Mama is Princess Su's personal maid, and after the princess enters the door, she is naturally King Su's concubine.

"Lord, just leave these things to the concubine. Come down, there's a war going on in the east, and there's a lot to decide......"

King Su looked at the drawings and shook his head: "My son is married, how can this king stay in the barracks and ignore it, let your young lady know, you have to cut me." Moreover, Suzhou cannot be beaten from the east, and the matter is not urgent, so we will talk about the same thing here. ”

When Mama Lilac saw this, it was not easy to dissuade her.

Yue Jiulou had a straight knife hanging from his waist and stood beside King Su, so as not to plant King Su. At this time, he answered casually:

"Two days ago, the news came that the imperial court ordered the king of Chu to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to quell the rebellion, and the king of Chu only sent 30,000 foot soldiers to come over and walk slowly towards the south of the Yangtze River, seeing that he did not want to contribute. King Wu also contacted the king of Chu, who was ambiguous and did not agree, but deliberately revealed this to the outside world, obviously to let the court know that King Wu was wooing him and putting pressure on the court to negotiate terms with the court. ”

King Su Xu You snorted lightly at this: "Song Zhengping's guy is the most conceited, where is he willing to be a pawn for others." The condition he put forward must be to let Song Ji Zen position give him and let him clean up this mess. ”

Yue Jiulou pondered: "If the situation gets out of control, will the Holy Lord throw the mess to the King of Chu today?" ”

Xu You shook his head: "How is it possible, as long as Song Ji is above the top and only believes in his own temper, if there is a possibility of seizing power, he will be killed, let alone robbed." It's still early, at least drag on for some time, and when King Wu can't help but be ruthless, King Chu will do it. This king eats sand in the great northwest, and it is too far away, so it is useless to talk about these things for the time being. ”

While speaking, outside the gate of the palace, Lao Xiao walked in with a cane and raised his hand:

"Lord Wang, the little Lord is out of the city."

Xu You was overjoyed when he heard this, and threw the drawings to Yue Jiulou: "Hurry up, clean up, your daughter-in-law will come to the door, don't scare people...... Take the prepared meeting gifts, two copies of the Xiao family and one small sour radish......"

Lao Xiao smiled: "Three copies are definitely not enough, the little prince still met some confidants on the road, and we can't be left out in the cold." ”

Xu You went down to the front of the palace and looked a little meaningful: "My son, I naturally understand, and I have specially prepared two more ......."

"Nine came, and they weren't counting the maids."

Su Wang Xu You: (⊙?⊙)?

Four-way general: (→_→) ( Ė„. Ė„)(⊙_⊙; )(~īš~)

Lilac Mama staggered, turned around and said, "Nine? It's only been less than six months since she went out, how could Ling'er be so cold, how could she ......?"

Xu You's expression also froze, but he immediately raised his hand and said:

"Nine is nine, the king's son...... I really don't follow his father...... Who taught this? Lao Xiao, you old pervert, did you bring Ling'er to ruin? ”

Lao Xiao leaned on crutches and shrugged his shoulders slightly: "Lord Wang, what you said, the little prince didn't bring me badly, it's all my old Xiao Ding's strength......"

Lilac pondered: "It is estimated that Mrs. Lu ......"

"That sour radish, can be so ordered, I don't 'allow' the word to write upside down......"

In the midst of the commotion, a large family rushed out of the door......

------

Outside the city of Suzhou, Xiliang Tie rode in front of the road, and the business travelers stopped beside the official road, watching the long convoy pass by the official road.

The huge chariot driven by five horses walked in the front, decorated with the word "Xi" in red cloth, which looked majestic and festive. Dozens of carriages followed, in addition to the chariots riding, there were many trucks behind, loaded with Xiao Xiang'er's collections for more than ten years, Xiao Qi's dowry, various souvenirs that the girls bought along the road, and so on.

Xia Jiangnan line, around the whole Dayue circle, adding up to no less than 10,000 miles, and most of the time on the boat, there are a lot of things to buy in your spare time, just Xiang'er, Hongluan used to make skin care products The medicinal materials have bought a big cart, as well as all kinds of local products that Xiliang can't eat, etc.

I got off the boat from Lanzhou and walked hundreds of miles overland to Suzhou, and the process was not very interesting. The carriage is not as wide as the yacht-like building boat, and there is no place to even move your hands and feet, at first you can still ride a wind-chasing horse to spread joy near the team, but after riding a horse for a long time, you are tired, and there is not much scenery on the corridor in the west of the river, and finally they all sit back in the carriage, staring at the daze with big eyes.

Zhu Manzhi was about to be suffocated, and at this time he was lying in the carriage on all fours, his face covered with the latest hardcover version of "Sword Saint Zhu Six and Seven Heroines", humming non-stop:

"Sand sand...... It's all sand, where are the flowers~ There are not even many places to live. Xu Gongzi lied, it's not fun here at all, and I won't come again next time......"

Song Yufu is also the first time to come to Xiliang, I have heard that Xiliang is a barren land, but I didn't expect that even grass is rare, and it is not as good as the small village where my grandfather lived in seclusion. She hugged her knees and looked outside, and whispered:

"Manzhi, you marry here, you can't go, there's no next time."

Zhu Manzhi was even more helpless, and snorted: "Yes, what can I do about this, how can I live in the second half of my life......"

Ning Qingye has never been here either, but he has not been interested in mountains and rivers since he was a child, and he lives the same wherever he lives. Although these days, because of the 'couple's affairs, I have been avoiding Xu Buling, and my heart is heavy and I am in a trance, but seeing that my good sister is full of branches, I still opened my mouth to comfort me:

"Manzhi, you were swept out of the house by the wolf guard, didn't you say that you want to build a tiger guard? In the future, I will help the palace guard the door, and I am not afraid that I will have nothing to do. ”

When Zhu Manzhi heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "What sweeps the floor and goes out, I don't do it myself." ”

"Is there a difference?"

"The difference is big, I am the wolf guard who passed the assessment by myself, and I don't leave, and the master has no right to sweep me out, at most I will be sent to patrol the streets to care ......for the elderly."

Ning Qingye suddenly realized: "No wonder when I was in Chang'an City, I accompanied you to patrol the streets every day......"

Zhongli Chuchu was wearing a red long dress, leaning in front of Song Yufu, and shook his head when he heard this: "I have been here once, although the city is not as good as Chang'an and Jiangnan, it is still quite prosperous, and Xu Buling is the emperor of the soil here, and everything he sees is his family's things, staying here is more comfortable than outside." ”

Song Yufu grew up in Chang'an, and taught the princes and nobles in Guozijian, and explained softly to this statement:

"Although it is said that 'the whole world is not the king's land', even the Son of Heaven cannot think that the world is his own and can be controlled at will. The emperor eats and wears clothes, but also has to spend silver to buy, let alone forcibly occupy the people's fields, the court has a treasury and an inner treasury, the treasury is the silver of the imperial court, the emperor can not move, the inner treasury is the emperor's own silver, and the same is true for the vassal king. ”

Ning Qingye thought for a while, and tilted his head slightly: "The emperor is the biggest, who cares if he doesn't follow the rules?" ”

Song Yufu thought for a while: "The courtiers overseer, but as long as it is not a dizzy king, they will pay attention to these small sections, after all, just the moon and food will never be spent." ”

Zhongli Chuchu was a little dazed: "The emperor and the prince, there are also moon striking?" ”

"There must be, the monthly salary of the saint today is 100,000 taels, and when the previous dynasty was in the Great Qi, some emperors were still bargaining with the courtiers of the household department because the silver was not enough to spend......

Zhu Manzhi sat up: "One hundred thousand taels a month?" No wonder they all want to be emperors, I work as an errand in the wolf guard, and I only have a few taels of silver a month...... Is there a moon for a side concubine? ”

Song Yufu blinked her eyes and blushed: "Yes, there is, but how much to give, the man doesn't care, it depends on the meaning of the eldest woman." If you are not favored and disliked by the eldest woman, you have to work without saying anything, and you may have to go hungry. ”

Ning Qingye raised his eyebrows: "Manzhi is a Jianghu person, if he is really disgusted, he can't be hungry, he can come out to perform." Well...... 'The princess has a big stone on her chest', and she will definitely make money every day......"

Zhu Manzhi's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of ......"

"Eh, eh! Don't take it ......seriously."

"Poof-ha, ...... teasing you"

"Xu Buling also performed 'Little Prince Stewed Himself in an Iron Pot', I heard Mrs. Lu talk about it......"

"Really? Let's talk about ......"
