Chapter 033: Suffering
The sky is snowing heavily, and the pines and cypresses in the courtyard are covered with heavy snow, but they are still lush. In this bleak and cold winter, the vitality of nature is still so magical.
"Sister Zhe, you have been with Wang Song for so long, but tell me, what kind of person is this Wang Song?"
"Didn't you already deliver porridge, what does he look like, why, didn't your maid tell you?"
The room was as warm as spring, the cups and plates on the table were messy, and the two young women were flushed, and their backs were leaning together with their drunken ears, and they were not serious.
"Sister Zhe, you're making fun of me again!"
Zhao Duofu seemed to be drunk but not drunk, although his face was crimson, his eyes were clear.
"That day in the Longde Palace, when I saw the "Man Jianghong", I wondered in my heart, who is this Wang Song, Wu can go into battle to kill the enemy, and Wen can reach the hearts of the people, it is really unpredictable."
It's the Folding Moon Show, stealing half a day of leisure, although she is top-heavy when she drinks, her face and neck are red, but her mind is still sober, although she is already hot and dazzled.
"Wang Songnai is the dragon among men, this is the original words of the old breed. He always wants to do big things, the love of men and women, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. ”
Zheyuexiu raised her head and said, her eyes were hazy.
"Yuanyuan, you ask left and right, don't you like Wang Song, do you want my sister to help you pass the word?"
Although Zheyuexiu seems to drink too much, she is naïve, but her heart is like a mirror. Zhao Duofu secretly likes Wang Song, she knows it.
If she was alone, she might go to compete with Zhao Duofu for the length of a day, and she also knew in her heart that Wang Song had affection for her.
But she is already a person with a marriage contract, so naturally she can't have anything to do with Wang Song, so as not to gossip and ruin the reputation of the family.
In this case, why not be a favor and fulfill Wang Song and Zhao Duofu, which can be regarded as entrusting to others.
However, even so, she still felt a faint pain in her heart, after all, it is not a comfortable thing to give up her sweetheart.
"Sister Zhe, that's too embarrassing. To be honest, you have stayed for so long, have you really never liked Wang Song?"
Zhao Duofu's words made Zheyuexiu's fragile nerves jump suddenly, and the headache also came with it.
How can you not love?
Since the first time I saw him on Luoyang Road, she has lived and died all the way, Jingyang Village has lost her soul, she has fallen in love with this man with all her heart, how can she be indifferent to the unforgettable first love.
"Yuanyuan, sister, I am already married, and I can no longer fall in love like you."
Zheyuexiu was another glass of wine, and the whole person began to let go of himself.
"Tomorrow, I will go and tell Wang Song that you are interested in him, and then let Your Majesty call the shots and let you marry Wang Song, which will also save you from being lonely in spring and having traces in your spring dreams!"
Zhiyue Xiu seems to let go of herself, but in fact, she is sober-minded and painful in her heart. She knew that she and Wang Song had no future, and with her own family, she would keep filial piety for her father for a year or two, and she would have to marry the Fan family in Sichuan.
That child of the family, she hadn't even seen it, if she didn't know Wang Song, it would be fine, but she had a love in her heart, and the pain was even deeper.
"Sister Zhe, last time I asked the maid to send porridge over, it turned out that Wang Song had an impression of me during the Battle of Xuanhuamen, don't you say strange?"
When Zhao Duofu spoke, he casually glanced at Zhiyuexiu, but found that she was indifferent.
"At that time, I was on the city wall, in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, but he noticed me, do you think this is a kind of fate?"
Zhao Duofu's words made Zheyuexiu feel "chuckle" in her heart, and her heart became inexplicably uncomfortable. As everyone knows, at this time, Wang Song only has a good impression of Zhao Duofu, not the so-called male and female feelings.
"Yuanyuan, you have a golden body, outstanding appearance, and a kind heart, if you can be with Wang Song, my sister and I will rest assured!"
Zheyuexiu's voice was full of helplessness and unwillingness.
"You go to Your Majesty and let him be your master, a match made in heaven will be the envy of the world!"
Tears welled up in Zhiyuexiu's eyes, and she looked up for another glass.
It's a pity that the Li family went to Shandong with their husbands, otherwise the poetry and wine would take advantage of the youth, and then call Wang Song, indulge in high drinking, and sing generously, wouldn't it be a happy life?
Zheyuexiu drank a lot of wine, and soon got drunk like mud, lying on the wine table and falling asleep.
Zhao Duofu got up and arranged for the maid to carry Zheyuexiu to the bed, and sat on the edge of the bed by himself.
"Sister, you think that I am in the boudoir, and the marriage contract is decided by me, you are very wrong."
Although her face was flushed, she was sober, and she looked at Zhiyuexiu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, but her heart was full of turns.
Although she is a princess, she is kept in captivity like an animal, and if she does not seize the opportunity before her, one day she will be used as a political victim to marry someone he may not know.
However, with the laws and ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty, the royal relatives and relatives, including the royal family, cannot participate in politics, except for the third brother Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, who is in charge of the imperial city division due to the preference of the Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji, the others are all Taiping princes, or concubines and captains, who are idle at home.
Surrounded by strong enemies, the Jurchen army is approaching the city, with Wang Song's status in the eyes of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and with Wang Song's importance to the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that she and Wang Song's marriage, I don't know how long it will take?
She couldn't help but feel sad, it turned out that she was the same as Zhiyue Xiu, she was a heartless and sad person.
The night is deep, the red candles are shining, and the sleeping people are peaceful for a moment, but the awake are all kinds of thoughts and sorrows.
When Zheyuexiu walked into the Wuyue Temple, it was the moment when the snowflakes were fluttering and the north was whistling, while Niu Tong and the others were surrounded by a cylindrical iron bump with a kettle on it, and there seemed to be steamed cakes and other things baked around.
"Fold the little lady, will you try one?"
Niu Tong picked up a steamed cake and said with a smile.
Zhi Yuexiu waved her hand, stepped forward to observe, and said in surprise: "This is the strange thing that Wang Daguan made?"
Niu Tong nodded while eating the hot scones: "Fold the little lady, don't underestimate this thing, you only need to light a fire once, and save more than half of the coal, which is much more convenient." Even the official family asked for a few!"
Zhi Yuexiu shook his head, he didn't know what was hidden in Wang Song's head, what strange things he could create.
"Why are the windows open on a snowy day?"
Orizuki sat down to roast the fire, she looked around, absent-mindedly, and pointed to an open window and asked.
"Fold the little lady, the big official said, this honeycomb coal is on fire, there is a small amount of poisonous gas, you need to open the window, you can't completely close it tightly, otherwise you may be poisoned, and even your life is in danger."
Yelu said on the side: "I heard that the subordinates in Prime Minister Sun's mansion closed the windows and slept tightly, and when they got up the next morning, they became a corpse."
Orizuki Xiu was surprised. I can't imagine that there are so many mysteries in this small honeycomb coal stove.
"What about the big official Wang, is he here?"
Zhi Yuexiu looked at the few generals in the room, Wang Song must have gone to patrol the city or train the troops.
Sure enough, Jeremiah took over.
"The senior official went to the ordnance prison to check the casting and charging of firearms, and he has been there every day for the past few days."
Zhi Yuexiu turned her mind and asked softly: "Yelu Gan, is there another movement in the army, isn't it that Wang Song is going out of the city to attack the Jurchens?"
Jeregen was so shocked that the scone in his hand almost fell to the ground. He looked around and whispered:
"Fold little lady, this is a secret in the army, except for Your Majesty, only a few of me know, even those ministers don't know, how do you know?"
Orizuki shook her head slightly. The siege of the Jurchen army in the past few days is not tight, a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, but Wang Song wants to make so many firearms, obviously he has to make a big move.
She sat next to Yelu Gan, faintly smelling a trace of rouge on his body, and couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart.
"Brother Yelu, I didn't expect that within a few days of arriving in Tokyo City, you were already a beautiful woman."
Zheyuexiu leaned into the ear of the silent Yelu Yan and whispered.
Yelu finally didn't hold back this time, and the scone in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden.
His face was cloudy, he glanced left and right, and found that no one noticed him, and was about to keep it secret for him, but found that Orizuki had already stood up.
"I'll go to the ordnance supervisor to see, what the hell is this Wang Song doing?"
As she spoke, she had already stepped out of the door, leaving behind the frightened Yelu Yan and the other generals who were preoccupied.
"Wang Song, you always act so arbitrarily and don't do something shocking, I'm afraid you won't be reconciled!"
Wang Song put down the "earth-shattering thunder" in his hand, turned his head, and looked at the black-clothed fox Qiu's Zhiyue Xiu, his face was pale, and his eyes were infinitely lonely, standing in the courtyard.
"Yuexiu, you must have guessed it."
Wang Song looked at her pale face and two dark circles under her eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head gently.
"I haven't seen you for many days, but you're a little haggard again. Drinking hurts your body, I know the pain in your heart, and I am also average. Now I only hope to defeat the thieves and escort you out of the city smoothly. ”
A "moon show", Zhen Yuexiu's heart is sweet and painful. It's just the torment in her heart, who can know?
Zhi Yuexiu's face sank, and she said: "Big official, you have to do it yourself." If the city of Tokyo is lost because of your audacity, I will see how you will face the emperor's ministers and the thousands of people in this city!"
"Even if my tens of thousands of troops are wiped out, the Jin people will be killed and wounded heavily!"
Wang Song said in a deep voice: "Fold little lady, if I can't come back this time, the defense of the city will depend on the hundreds of thousands of Tokyo people in the city." People always have to save themselves, and they can't all rely on me Wang Song alone!"
Zhe Yuexiu lowered her head and said softly: "Wang Song, since you have already made great achievements, why do you have to take such a risk!" The golden people will retreat after plundering, so why should you do anything more. If there is a mistake, wouldn't it be a chicken and egg fight, and a back and forth will be empty?"
Wang Song couldn't guess what this woman was thinking in her heart, if she was leaving, passionate and indifferent, pure and sexy, unfathomable but stubborn and stupid.
He had to raise his voice to test the other party's reaction.
"The ambition of the golden man and the wolf, determined to destroy the Song Dynasty, is my great enemy of China, you don't need to say more, you have made up your mind to fight!"
Zhi Yuexiu shook her head and said softly, "Wang Song, I live here." When the army goes out of the city, I will follow out of the city to kill the enemy, you don't want to leave me!"
Zhi Yuexiu turned around and left, Wang Song stood still, stunned, and it took a long time for a sentence to pop out of his mouth.
"Why are you doing this?"
