Chapter 40: The Three Sisters
The sky is getting dark, from the window of the wedding room on the second floor of the building boat, you can see the suburbs along the Yellow River, four girls trotting on horses, Song Yufu does not know how to ride a horse, sitting behind the nightingale, constantly exclaiming, "Slow down, ahhh......h
Xiao Qi leaned against the window, stunned, probably recalling the scene when she was a child and played with her sister in Xiaojiazhuang in Huainan. Two people play bamboo horses and paper kites, and they don't have to think about the troubles of scheming and calculating, they only have innocence and childlike fun in their hearts.
It's a pity that childhood is always short, and I grew up unconsciously, my sister married Chang'an, and she threw herself into the family business; After ten years of separation, they should have gone their separate ways, but in the end, they got together again in a dreamy way, and married the same man.
The current situation is not bad, on the contrary, it is very happy, but they are obviously different from each other when they were children. The reason why Xiao Qi stood at the window and missed the childhood of the sisters was entirely because the innocent sister had become a ......
"Sister, come here, I made you a fox tail, you try how big it is......"
"Bah-"
Xiao Qixing's eyes were angry and annoyed, she turned around and sat down next to the soft collapse, raised her hand and pinched her sister's waist:
"Dead girl, don't learn well, learn all these things that can't be on the table, look at you, what has become of you now?"
Xiao Xiang'er, who was dressed in a gorgeous red dress, leaned on the soft collapse, her tail hair swept around her hands, and she didn't care:
"We're sisters, what are you pretending to be in front of me? I don't know who is the happiest when I'm in the boudoir, what's Lang Jun's lighter...... It's my turn, it's my ......', huh~...... Is it to put the red luan? ”
Lu Hongluan sat upright on the chair next to him, his hands folded around his waist, his face was sometimes red and sometimes white, obviously wanting to scold Xiao Xiang'er a few words, but he was embarrassed to speak.
After all, the last time she was in the marriage room, she poured water to wipe her sweat with tea, wiped her shirt and wiped her shirt, and she was holding and feeding something, all of which were seen by Xiao Qi and Xiang'er, how embarrassed she was to make a dignified appearance and discipline Xiao Xiang'er again.
Xiao Qi has always had a strong mind, and she didn't blush at all in the face of her sister's teasing, raised her hand and snatched her tail and threw it into the box under the coffee table:
"Sit down for my sister, I won't let you come later, and if you fan the flames again, don't think about going out for half a step in the future." The country has national laws and family rules, so if you continue to do nonsense, you must not lead the girls in the entire back house astray. ”
Xiao Xiang'er was still a little afraid of her sister in her heart, snorted lightly, picked up the small mahogany card on her waist to play, and stopped talking.
The three of them sat for a moment, and then the door was pushed open, and Xu Buling walked in.
Lu Hongluan was worried about death these days, so he hurriedly stood up, walked to him, and raised his hand to touch Xu Buling's clothes:
"Ling'er, how are you hurting? You okay? ”
Xu Buling took his aunt's hand, walked to the soft collapse and sat down:
"Skin trauma, it's been fine for a long time."
Xiao Xiang'er saw that Lu Hongluan also let go, her eyes were full of admiration and longing, and she didn't shy away from her, she felt funny in her heart, and leaned over Xu Buling's shoulder decently, and sniffed:
"Hongluan, why does Xu Buling smell of fragrant powder on his body? Several women, don't you smell it? ”
Xu Buling's expression stiffened slightly, and he glanced at the baby.
Lu Hongluan had even seen what the five of them were in front of, and the vinegar jar had already been broken, so he just snorted lightly:
"What if it smells? I'm his aunt, you're his wife, you're not in a hurry, what's in a hurry? ”
"You are still an aunt, there is an aunt, hold it yourself and feed ......"
"That's it!"
The more Xiao Qi listened, the more wrong she became, her face sank slightly, stopped the yin and yang weirdness of the two girlfriends, and raised her hand to the chair opposite:
"Xu Buling, you sit over there, what are you doing here? Not too crowded? ”
Xu Buling was also afraid that the war between his aunt and the baby would affect him, so he honestly got up and sat down opposite the tea case.
His eyes swept to the tea case, but he saw a wine jar on it, the wine jar was the shape of the Sun family's shop, and he recognized it at a glance after drinking it for a whole year.
Shopkeeper Sun often said that if you drink the broken jade burn, you will lose your taste when you drink other wines. This statement is obviously true, Xu Buling has never touched the broken jade burn since he left Chang'an, and he used to carry wine gourds with him, but now he basically rarely brings them. It's not that I've quit drinking, but that everything I drink is the same as drinking water, and it's tasteless.
Seeing the broken jade burning again, Xu Buling, the wine worm who was about to starve to death in his stomach began to make trouble, picked up and opened the stopper and smelled it, the smell of the liquor went straight to the heart, and he felt relaxed and happy.
Xiao Qi sat next to Xiang'er and said:
"Hongluan said that you like this, and sent someone to Chang'an City to buy it. The old shopkeeper was stubborn and refused to sell more, so he bought two pots. ”
Xu Buling took a sip and nodded slightly: "The lady has a heart, do you want the baby to take a bite?" ”
Xiao Xiang'er propped her elbows on the soft collapse and supported her side face:
"I don't want to, let my sister drink, she can let go when she's drunk, but she can play......"
"Xiao Xiang'er!"
Xiao Qi's voice was cold, and her willow eyebrows were upside down, until Xiao Xiang'er sat down stupidly and didn't speak, and then said with a serious expression:
"Let's discuss the business today, who will gag again, go to the side with the tail, and stop when the talk is over. Including Hongluan you! ”
Lu Hongluan coughed lightly, sat up straight, lowered his head and did not speak.
Xiao Xiang'er didn't like to be controlled by her sister, so she couldn't help muttering:
"Sister, if you don't want to make a gag, you have to dance with your tail?"
??
Xiao Qi rubbed his forehead, took out his tail and threw it to Xu Buling:
"Xianggong, let Xiang'er go and dance next to him."
Xu Buling was a little amused in his heart, but his expression was quite serious, he picked up his tail and got up and walked towards the baby.
Xiao Xiang'er's face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly shrank back: "Ah-good brother, good sister, the baby is wrong...... Get down to business, get down to business! ”
Xiao Qi was satisfied, sat up a little straighter, and said seriously:
"There are two main things today. One is the big wedding in Suzhou, and the other is the current situation. These two things may seem unrelated, but they still affect each other......"
Xu Buling leaned back in his chair and looked at the three charming beauties sitting side by side, but he didn't think nonsense, and listened carefully.
"The northern attack on the border, King Wu took the opportunity to list the 'four major sins' and impeach the current saint, I won't say much about the reason, the purpose must be to pull Song Ji off the horse and replace him with an emperor who has no intention of cutting the domain, and by the way, warn future monarchs not to touch the interests of the clan vassal king.
The three kings of Wu, Wei, and Yu have already stated that the Yue King of Lingnan has no right to speak, and he must be a grass on the wall and will not speak casually. The remaining three kings of Chu, Su, and Shu, the king of Shu must be on the side of the imperial court, but he has just suffered a disaster and has no military power, and he can't even guarantee logistics, so he has little effect. Therefore, how the King of Chu and our King Su line stand in line is of great significance. ”
Xu Buling had already analyzed these and said softly:
"The king of Chu is between the two sides, and the surname is Song, the court will definitely win over the king of Chu first, and we will not be able to play in a short time."
Xiao Qi nodded: "Pull a hair and move the whole body, the war has started, and it is impossible to stay out of the matter." This time, the plan of 'abolishing the emperor and establishing a new' must be supported by many gate valve families. How the major families stand in line is also very important, at present, the five surnames are all on the side of the court, and my second brother has a great right to speak when he enters the court. When the imperial court needs to use the Xiliang army, Xiao Xiang will definitely avoid suspicion and dissuade him, otherwise the saint will definitely suspect that Xiao and Xu will partner to seek the country. ”
Lu Hongluan has heard and seen about family politics since he was a child, and he still knows a little about it, so he looked at Xiao Qi curiously at the moment:
"Miss, do you have any intention of seeking a country with Ling'er? The Song family made a death hand to Ling'er, if they can replace Yue with Su, ......"
