Chapter 5 Revisiting the Old Place
The Xiliang army marched towards Guanzhong Road in an orderly manner, while Xiao Qi's boat went down the river and arrived around Chang'an City in advance, waiting for Xu Buling's arrival.
In the early morning, at the ferry near Qingwei Tower, the building boat docked at the pier.
On the deck, Zhu Manzhi was a little flustered, and was working as an animal trainer, teaching two dogs to deal with the big white goose. It's a pity that the two dogs are too cowardly, and they don't dare to get on at all, so they angrily Zhu Manzhi rolled up his sleeves and demonstrated himself, but he was chased by the big white goose and ran all over the boat.
Song Yufu and Lu Hongluan stood together, one looking at Chang'an City in the distance, the other looking at the northwest, the spring breeze tightened the skirt, outlining a completely different but equally charming figure.
As long as Xu Buling is not there, Lu Hongluan will always be like Wangfu Stone, and after looking at it for a while, he said quietly:
"Yufu, when will your father-in-law come back?"
Song Yufu has always been very respectful of Lu Hongluan, and her attitude towards her elders has not been reversed until now, and she smiled a little shyly when she heard it:
"I have to ask Sister Qiqi about this, I don't know, it should be soon."
Lu Hongluan was just waiting in a panic, and asked casually. Xiao Qi has been busy with business recently, and she almost doesn't even go out of the door because of her lovesickness.
Seeing Song Yufu looking at Chang'an City, Lu Hongluan guessed that Song Yufu was missing her mother's home. The trip was not made public, but only followed the vicinity of Xiliangjun in a low-key manner; Song Baiqing is also a courtier of the imperial court, so it is impossible for Xu Buling to take Song Yufu back to Chang'an to worship his father-in-law at this time. Thinking of this, Lu Hongluan comforted softly:
"When you come back from the battle, Ling'er will be able to take you back to your parents' house, don't worry."
Song Yufu misses her father a lot, but she also understands the priorities, and she doesn't want to go back to her parents' house at this time. She hesitated slightly, leaned in front of Lu Hongluan, and whispered:
"Sister Hongluan, I didn't miss my mother's family, it's just ...... is just curious, what is the relationship between Queen Cui and Xianggong? Queen Cui called Sister Xiang'er her mother, and Sister Xiang'er called Xianggong Xianggong, so what should Queen Cui call Xianggong? ”
When Lu Hongluan heard this, his eyes were also a little strange, he glanced left and right a few times, and whispered:
"If you want me to see it, Cui Xiaowan has boarded the boat, and she must have taken a fancy to Ling'er, no matter what her identity was before, she will have to be called Xianggong in the future."
Song Yufu was still a little confused, and asked again: "If Empress Cui is also called Xianggong, then how do you call Sister Xiang'er?" They are legitimate mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and Sister Xiang'er also takes care of Queen Cui as a junior, and she is more enthusiastic than Sister Qiqi. ”
How could Lu Hongluan sort out this chaotic taboo relationship, shook his head and said:
"What's with her, when she enters the door of my Xu family, she is the daughter-in-law of my Xu family. I'm not also Aunt Ling'er, I still call Xiang'er an aunt, and now it's not a sister or sister. ”
Song Yufu nodded, and then asked, "What should the prime minister call today's saint?" According to King Su's calculation, it should be called uncle; According to Sister Xiang'er, she has to be called a stepson; According to Empress Cui's calculations......"
The more Lu Hongluan listened, the more confused he became, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't forget it, let the saint know about this, Ling'er is estimated to be skinned and cramped." ”
Song Yufu shrunk her neck, and didn't want to say more, but continued to look at Chang'an City and began to think about this extremely complicated issue.
In the room at the back of the ship, everything was neatly packed, and even the two futons were folded into the same place.
On the terrace, two reclining chairs were placed side by side, and Xiao Xiang'er was holding a teacup and sipping it, talking about the added version of A Chinese Ghost Story.
Cui Xiaowan sat next to her, as if she was serving her mother-in-law, making tea, pouring water and peeling oranges, and listened very carefully.
Cui Xiaowan is very introverted, and after getting on the boat, she originally wanted to hide it from the girl on the boat, but such a big person lived in the house, where could she hide her diet and daily life, and everyone knew about it the next day.
However, the girls on the boat all knew that Cui Xiaowan was more withdrawn and didn't like to stay with unfamiliar people, but no one came to disturb her.
Xiao Xiang'er felt that Cui Xiaowan was a poor person in the palace, and she was an elder, so she naturally accompanied Cui Xiaowan these days and got along day and night.
Although she is very close to Cui Xiaowan, Cui Xiaowan's temperament of liking to get to the bottom of things really gives Xiao Xianger a little headache. Xu Buling's colorful tails, high heels and other things that she made were all placed in the house, and when Cui Xiaowan saw them, she would be curious and ask what they were for.
Xiao Xiang'er has to find some lame excuses to explain every time, but Cui Xiaowan's heart is as clear as a mirror, knowing that she is lying, which makes Xiao Xianger always feel like a thief.
After telling the story for a while, Cui Xiaowan inadvertently noticed that Xiao Xiang'er would pick up the small mahogany card on his waist from time to time and rub it a few times, and both sides of the wooden card were engraved with the word 'Zheng'. She couldn't help but ask:
"Queen Mother, what does this 'positive' word do? I see you are taking it very seriously. ”
Xiao Xiang'er was a little loveless, looked down, and said with a smile:
"It's used to record the weather, huh...... Every time the water rises, it will be engraved. I used to hang this in the palace a lot, and I didn't bring it out to record rain or snow. ”
Cui Xiaowan nodded: "Sounds very interesting, the queen mother has good skills, make one for me too." ”
“……”
Xiao Xiang'er blinked her apricot eyes, but she didn't refuse, got up and went back to the house, took out an unused mahogany brand, and handed it to Cui Xiaowan:
"It's just a small object, you don't need to make it, you can use it. What are you going to remember? Flowers bloom Xie? ”
Cui Xiaowan took the mahogany card and put it in her arms:
"I haven't thought about it yet, why don't you give me an idea?"
Xiao Xiang'er could pay any attention, she held it for almost a month, and her mind was now full of the scene when Xu Buling wrote the word 'positive' on her. Naturally, this can't be taught to her daughter-in-law, she shook her head and smiled:
"Keep it for now, and then write it down when you encounter something interesting in the future."
"Interesting thing ......"
Cui Xiaowan thought for a moment and nodded slightly......
--------
In the spring of March, the land of Sanqin is full of grass and trees, the dragon flag hunting above the Xiongguan, and the soldiers wearing the armor of the Guanzhong Army stand behind the battlement, watching the black dragon-like Xiliang cavalry pass through the gate.
The Xiliang army gathered along the way, integrated 50,000 soldiers and horses in Qinzhou, and officially entered the Guanzhong Road after passing the Qianyang Pass, the first Xiongguan in the northwest.
Since the founding of Dayue, the general Xu Lie took the soldiers and horses out of the pass to open the wasteland, the Xiliang army rarely crossed this Xiongguan again, the last time it passed here, it was Su Wang Xu You who led more than 10,000 elite horses to Qingzhou to 'destroy relatives with righteousness'.
Although he hasn't come back for a long time, the prestige of the great general Xu Lie has been engraved in the minds of the people of the world, from the north to the Northern Qi and the south to the south of South Vietnam, saying that there are many people who don't know who Emperor Dayue is, and saying that they don't know who General Xu is, almost nothing.
Seeing that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had returned to Guanzhong again and was about to go out for the country, the people around Chencang all ran to the bank of the Wei River to watch the excitement.
In order to show the people of Guanzhong the majesty of the Xiliang Army, bamboo pole soldiers like Ning Qingye and Zhongli Chuchu must not be able to walk in front. In front of them are 5,000 'tiger horses', which have been prepared before entering the customs, and the men and horses are all dressed in full armor, and even the horses are wearing iron masks, walking slowly, the sound of gold and iron friction and dull horses' hooves hit the heart, and people are afraid to see.
Xu Buling was a single horse in front, holding a horse lance and a white robe, which was extremely eye-catching among the 50,000 black armor.
Yang Guanyu walked behind him, wearing a tiger's head and heavy armor, carrying the banner of King Su in his hand, and his tall body sat on a black horse, like an exotic demon god.
Passing along the Wei River, Yang Guanyu carried the banner without squinting, but shouted in a low voice:
"Little barbarian, you were yin here?"
Xu Buling was also looking at a river beach on the bank of the Wei River.
In the winter of four years ago, he took more than 100 followers into Chang'an as a proton, that is, he walked to the bank of the Wei River, was ambushed by the emperor, and all the people he carried were killed, only he and Lao Xiao escaped. That's where his dream began.
Suddenly came here again, Xu Buling really felt a little like a world away, and nodded lightly:
"At that time, I didn't know why I had a high fever and couldn't afford to be sick, and I met an assassin again, and I was locked in the Dragon Gu, or Lao Xiao killed me behind my back."
Yang Guanyu took a sip lightly, raised his finger and pointed at the fifty thousand Xiliang Iron Rider behind him:
"This time, I want to see if that guy dares to send an assassin over, and the ancestral grave has been dug for him."
Xu Buling smiled, did not respond to this 'big rebellion' words, and rode across the Wei River......
