Chapter Thirty-Eight: Drunk and Gentle, The General's eyes are blue
The difference between "princess" and "Weng Lord" is that the Son of Heaven is not the princess who marries, and the "Weng Lord", Weng is the father, and the daughter of the prince and king marries is usually married by her father, who is named "Weng Lord", also called "Wang Lord".
Ling Huyan's father has never been the king of Dingxi, it stands to reason that she can't get the title of "Weng Lord", but Ling Huyan's family has more men and fewer women, and Ling Huyan's father is very liked by his father and brother, and died early, so Ling Huyan made an exception and was named "Weng Master".
From this, it can also be seen that Ling Huyan is favored in the royal family.
It is also for this reason that she has developed a temper that she can't say "nonsense", but she is also quite willful.
On the day of the wedding, Chen Sun, Sun Yan, Fu Qiao, Tang Ai, Cao Fei, etc. all attended, Yang Fu, Yang Chao, Zhang Gui, Huang Rong, Yan Xi, Xiang Kui, Wei Shu father and son, including Lan Baozhang, bald Boye and other civil and military officials under the tent, were there the day before, helping before and after, and then welcoming relatives.
Song Hong, Pan Kuan, Lu Shuang, Zhang Hun and others did not show up, but they also sent representatives of important children in the clan to send valuable congratulatory gifts.
The person who gave the gift to Xin Er in the Zhang family was Zhang Daojiang.
This made Xin Er unexpected.
Since Zhang Daojiang arrived in the royal capital, Xin Er has only seen him a few times on official occasions, basically has not talked much, after hearing the news, he specially put down other things, met with him, talked with him for a while, and after he left, he sighed in his heart: "Lao Huang said well!" Although I have not known the Taoist since childhood, I am also familiar with his past, and compared with the past, the Taoist has indeed changed greatly. ”
The Zuo clan also sent eunuchs to send gifts to Xin Er again, but this time there were no personal items such as bedding, and most of them were rewards such as gold cakes and brocades.
Recently, quite a number of middle-level officials in various prefectures of the DPRK and the central government have either stammered and curried favor with Yang Fu and others, or have emboldened themselves to post their names under the Xin Er Sect, taking this opportunity, although these people are not qualified to appear in the wedding ceremony, they also have rich and heavy gifts.
Shi Liang and others, who were in Jiankang, traveled a long way, and they also received gifts.
Shi Liang gave Xin Er ten treasures from the Western Regions and five white horses from the Western Regions.
The treasure was enough, but the horse, which was eight feet high, was as high as the koji ball rode that day. The horse is eight feet tall and called a dragon, and it is majestic and majestic. The horse's hair was neatly washed and combed, sprayed with spices, and from afar you could smell the richness of the nose, the silver bridles, the splendid mud embroidered with gold thread, and even the stirrups were made of gold and silver.
Although Longzhou is adjacent to the Western Regions, such a good horse is also rare, plus all kinds of precious horse harness, the value of a horse is afraid that it will not be less than tens of thousands of gold, and the guests who have seen these five horses are all envious.
Seeing these horses, Xin Er remembered that Shi Liang's family was a Sogdian, had been in business for generations, and was very familiar with the Western Regions. instructed Huang Rong about this matter and asked him to recommend Shi Liang at the next court meeting.
As Xin Er requested, the wedding was not luxurious, but very frugal.
After the wedding, for two days in a row, Yang Fu and others did not show up.
I didn't go to the public office, and I didn't even attend the court meeting at the end of the month.
Everyone thought that Xin Er was a newlywed Yan'er, intoxicated with gentleness.
Xianmei Weng's temperament is a bit unbearable, but in terms of appearance, she is beautiful and beautiful, because she likes horseback riding, hunting and other sports, she is not as weak as the girls who don't go out of the door, and her figure is also very good.
Now there are a few maids who often accompany Xin'er, Liu Le is petite, ugly and sensible, and the maids in the Western Regions are good at singing and dancing, with soft waists and limbs, each with its own benefits, but on the whole, it is not as good as Ling Huyan.
Xin Er's blood is strong, and marrying such a beautiful woman is understandable when she can't hold it for a while, and she lingers.
Until the third day, I still didn't see Xin Er go out.
Yang Fu and the others couldn't hold their breath.
Huang Rong came to find Yang Fu and Yang Chao brothers, and said: "The general ordered me to promote Shi Liang to the military government as an official, I have recommended it, and Shi Liang will be able to go to the capital in a few days; I heard that Yang joined the army and Tang Sima was responsible for recruiting soldiers, and I heard that it was nearly half of the process. The general plans to attack the Western Regions in the summer, and it will be March soon, and the attack on the Western Regions cannot be said to be a trivial matter, and the arrangements between the DPRK and China, the logistical supply, and how to fight it must all be discussed in detail.
"After the general gets married, Du Men will not come out, this will not be possible!"
Yang Fu, Yang Chao and others thought so, and asked Zhang Gui, who was still living in Xin'er's house: "Changling, have you seen the general in the past few days?" ”
Zhang Gu said: "The general has not left the back house. I asked to see me once yesterday, but the general didn't see me. ”
Yang Fu and the others looked at each other, and they couldn't help but say: "The general is heroic and wise, and has a long-term vision, not like a person who indulges in women." Why is it that after marrying the lord of Xianmei, the back house is not out? ”
Huang Rong looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I'll ask to see the general together!" ”
Yang Fu, Yang Chao, and Zhang Gui all said: "Okay! ”
The four of them came to Xin Mansion together and told Liu Zhuang their intentions.
Liu Zhuang turned back from the back house after a short time and said: "Everyone said that please wait and return home, and everyone will go to the official office the day after tomorrow." ”
Huang Rong insisted: "I have urgent matters, and we must report to the general now!" I'm tired of Liu Weng, help me wait for the report. As he spoke, he got up and said to everyone, "Let's not wait in the hall, let's go outside the back house with Liu Weng!" ”
Yang Fu and others then went with Liu Zhuang and waited quietly outside the door of the back house.
This act of not seeing Xin Er and not giving up forced Xin Er to have no choice but to come out to meet them.
When everyone saw Xin Er, they all felt strange.
I saw Xin Ersu clogs, dressed at home, but it was ordinary, but it was rare to take a folding fan in his hand, covering it, covering most of his face, even when he spoke, he didn't put the fan down.
How to look at it, how it seems to be strange.
Yang Chao looked at it for a while, smiled "poof", and turned to Yang Fu and the others and said: "Brother, Jing Huan, Changling, why doesn't the general stay out of the house for many days, I know it!" Let's go, don't embarrass the general. ”
Zhang Gui was honest, and he squinted, his vision was not as wide as others, and he didn't understand the meaning of Yang Xian's words, so he was stunned and asked: "Shidao, what do you mean?" Still in accordance with the content of the exhortation prepared in advance, he persuaded Xin Er and said, "Duke Ming, it is a good match to show beauty, but there are many affairs in the DPRK and the army, and General Ming is now taking care of his life, how can he close the door for days?" Turtles and other brave people, I implore Ming Gong not to abolish the public for personal reasons! ”
Xin Er and Zhang Gu looked at each other, only holding a fan, and had nothing to answer.
Zhang Gu admonished again, and when it comes to emotional places, bow down to the ground.
Xin Er raised his face, looked at the white clouds in the blue sky for a moment, as if he had made some difficult decision, with a horizontal heart, he closed the folding fan, bent down to help Zhang Gui, and said with a wry smile: "Changling, you get up." I'm not abandoning my public for personal reasons, you look at me like this, I really can't go out! ”
Zhang Gu looked at it and was taken aback.
Although the bruise has gone down a lot, you can still see a faint mark on the left eye circle of Xin Er.
Zhang Gu said: "This, this ......, Ming Gong, who is so bold!" Dare, dare to ....... "Before I finished speaking, I have already woken up, this punch, in addition to showing beauty, who else dares to fight? Filled with anger, he said angrily, "How can Lord Xin be so rude! Ming Gong, turtle ......"
The lord humiliates the ministers to death, and the lord worries about the humiliation of the ministers.
Zhang Gu immediately wanted to be loyal and avenge Xin Er, but thinking that Ling Huyan was the lord of Weng, and now he was Xin Er's wife, his voice involuntarily lowered until he was inaudible. This "loyalty", I am afraid that no matter what, it will be difficult for him to exhaust himself.
Huang Rong and Yang Fu were also taken aback.
Yang Fu said: "General, what's going on? ”
What else could it be?
On the wedding night, the candles in the cave room, Xin Er had to fulfill the groom's obligations, so that Hu Yan was greedy and willful, in the end, she was a girl, but she didn't know if it was the shyness of sharing a bed with a man for the first time, or panic, or what, in short, without warning, a punch hit Xin Er's eyes. Ling Huyan is quite good at riding and shooting, has a little strength, and goes down with a punch, beating Xin Er to the head, and flees in the wilderness. In that eye, there was a circle of jet black.
The dignified minister, General Wuwei, and Zuo Changshi of the Governor's Mansion, half of their faces have become pandas, and they can't see people with such dignity.
In desperation, Xin Er had no choice but to stay at home, hide the door and thank guests, even today.
For fear of making jokes when it spreads, the doctor didn't invite, Liu Le, Ah Ugly, and they, he didn't have the face to tell, so it was easy to think of an earthwork, so he only quietly called Liu Zhuang and told him to boil a few eggs every day and send them, and put them on the mirror.
Xin Er forced a smile and said, "No, no." Changling, don't guess. It's not for the sake of beauty. It's me, it's me......"
"What's wrong with Ming Gong?"
Xin Er wanted to say "grape trellis", but the grape trellis fell, and it would not make the eye circles blue, so he had an idea and said: "It was I who practiced sword that day, and my feet slipped, and the hilt of the sword accidentally reached the eye." Pretending to be happy, he stroked his chest and said, "It's okay, but it hurt the eye circles, not the eyes." ”
He was worried that there would be slaves and maids passing by, so he looked around, reopened the folding fan, covered his face, and said to Zhang Gui and the others, "You guys go back first, I can be worth it the day after tomorrow at the latest." He asked Yang Fu, "How is the recruitment going?" ”
Yang Fu replied: "In accordance with the order of the Duke of Ming, the list of recruiting troops has been spread to the neighboring counties of the royal capital, and in each county, there is a governor of the governor's office, and those who are more than five feet and five inches are taken in the city; So far, more than 1,000 people have been raised. ”
The recruitment conditions opened by Xin Er are good.
First of all, conscripts, who are not enrolled in the military and have served for five years, can be released.
Secondly, if the family is not middle-class, they will be exempted from service for three years.
Thirdly, when they passed the assessment and were officially incorporated into the army, each person was given a certain amount of money as a settling-in allowance.
Fourth, after becoming a member of the army, not only will they be given monthly rations according to the standards of non-commissioned soldiers, but they will also be assessed every two months, and those who pass the results will be given various rewards.
Finally, if there is a strong right to apply, according to the number of troops he brings, he will be awarded a military position.
In terms of the targets of recruitment, Xin Er also made provisions: Priority should be given to the selection of Liushi and overseas Chinese households, and priority should be given to those with solid family backgrounds and many brothers.
Xin Er had great expectations for this recruitment, and when he heard that the recruitment went smoothly, he was relieved.
He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Have you already got more than a thousand people?" It's OK. Strange facts, when the counties send the recruited soldiers, you have to choose carefully, not only the head must be sufficient, but also the physique must be strong, and all those who are not qualified will be eliminated, and it is better to lack than to abuse. ”
Sheep Fu promised.
Xin Er pondered for a while, and said: "Give Shi Liang the five horses that I offered, you take two of them, and when the three thousand soldiers are raised, and a martial arts exercise, these two horses will be used as a reward!" ”
Diligent in public affairs, light on wealth and heavy on people, this is the consistent image of Xin Er in the minds of Yang Fu, Huang Rong and others.
Everyone said goodbye and went out into the street, looking at each other.
The sheep couldn't help but laugh at first.
Then, several people laughed out loud.
Xin Er returned to the back house, feeling that he had lost his dignity in front of his subordinates, he rubbed his hands, made up his mind, and thought: "You and I didn't know each other before, this marriage was all out of a political marriage, and Ling Hu Feng's decision. You Linghuyan, if you are dissatisfied with me, I will not force it, you and I are harmonious, raise your eyebrows, even if you respect each other, it is good! How could I have wronged you?
"Unexpectedly, you are so reckless! I have also fought a vicious battle, killed in the sea of corpses and blood, the tiger is not powerful, are you a sick cat? Little girl! Who can bear it, who can't bear it!
"Wait until I'm healed, huh! You Ling Huyan's door, Lao Tzu will not enter a single step! ”
