Volume 1 When the Storm Blows Chapter 29 Farewell to the Newlyweds
The torrential rain poured over the entire imperial capital, trying to wash away all the sorrow and pain.
An alley at the end of the bustling street turns right, every year when the spring breeze comes, the pear blossoms are full of alleys, there are women standing facing the west, pear blossoms and tears are intertwined, one is snow-white, one is crystalline, the two reflect each other, tell the pain of parting in the world.
The woman was always followed by a young man in black, whose eyes were as black as ink and glowed with wisdom. Silent and silent.
Pear Blossom Lane is adjacent to the bustling street, every inch of land is gold, and it has naturally become the residence of the princes and generals, Prime Minister Li Zifang, Zuodu Governor Qi Jianxian, and Inspector Shi Jiang Wencheng These dignitaries are located here.
Qi Mansion, the Zuo Du Governor of Xuanhe, and Qi Jianxian, the filial piety prince who commanded the 180,000 Dragon Guards, sat aside and did not say a word. The woman, who had not given him a good face for more than ten years, was still as cold as ever, as if a son had died in the family, and in fact, she did have a dead son, and maybe another one would die soon. The premise was that she agreed to go to the thin boy who was kneeling on the ground.
The bamboo pole in Gu Yu's mouth was on the ground with both hands, his scalp was close to the cold floor, and he couldn't kneel for a long time.
Wan Huichun slammed the table and shouted, "I'm not dead, so you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”
The teapot on the table was shaken to the ground and cracked, the tea splashed everywhere, and the fragments cut a shallow hole on Qi Liang's face, and the red blood flowed through his cheeks, making the handsome young man with a sickly state even more enchanting.
Wan Huichun regretted it, wanted to help her son up, but didn't want to retreat, and it took a lot of effort to take back the tears in her eyes.
Qi Jianxian was distressed, not because he felt sorry for his wife and son, but because he felt sorry for the ice jade pot that fell to the ground and a pot of good clouds, the ice jade pot was an old antique, a total of two pairs, and one pair was stolen by his son to make amends to Zhang Lao in Ping'an Building, and now it is broken. Yunwu tea is the spring tea sent this year by the festival of Jingnan Province, and it has a price but no market.
Wan Huichun saw Qi Jianxian staring at the fragments of the teapot on the ground with a regretful appearance, and his eldest son Qi Can died under the sword of the demon clan with the Marquis of Pingran, and the corpse was not seen. Now the youngest son is going to the northern frontier again, and the father is so ruthless that he doesn't care at all. Let him go.
Unlike Wan Huichun's anger, Qi Jianxian was a little unimpressed that Qi Liang was going to the north, men, he should behead the enemy with a big knife in life, and cast the country with his body in death.
That being said, Qi Jianxian felt guilty about Wan Huichun after all, and it was he who personally sent his eldest son to the battlefield. Going to the battlefield is equivalent to losing half of his life, and now Qi Liang is going to the north again. Even if he supports it, it's hard to show anything.
The two sides were at a stalemate, and Wan Huichun just walked away. Listening to the footsteps and walking away, Qi Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, rubbed his knees and said bitterly to Qi Jianxian: "Dad, you can also think of a way for me?" ”
Qi Jianxian squatted on the ground holding the fragments of the ice jade kettle, looking distressed. lamented: "If I have any way, your mother hasn't given me a good face for many years." ”
"You can't tell ...... about that."
Halfway through the words, Qi Liang stopped, Qi Jianxian frowned and thought about it, and said, "Actually, there are still ways." What is your mother's greatest wish over the years? ”
"I'll get married soon!" Qi Liang replied without hesitation. After the death of the eldest son Qi Can, Wan Huichun's greatest wish was that the younger son would start a family as soon as possible and add a few more people to the family.
Qi Liang is thorough at a point. Father meant to let him earlier
After starting a family and fulfilling his mother's wishes, he went to the northern battlefield again, and Wan Huichun was happy to let go at that time.
It's easy to say, it's actually simple to do, find a girl, cloth and cover the matter, the Qi family has a big business, and how many people are scrambling to send their daughters to the door.
"Do you have a choice, son?" Qi Jianxian saw that his son was really moving, and he was also a decisive person, so he didn't delay.
Qi Liang patted his ass and stood up, pondering hard, but he didn't think about anything, there may be many girls in the great imperial capital who admire him, but it is difficult for him to have a heartbeat. Settle for less. There is one who is satisfied, the daughter of the prime minister's family, Li Xiangyi, who was born with a beautiful blue heart, a famous name, a sword with a hero, and a talented man with a beauty. Qi Liang has a good skin, excellent family education, the girl is pregnant with spring, and they all live on the same street, Miss Li is also very affectionate to Qi Gongzi, and she blushed when she saw each other.
At the end of the day, a piece of news caused a sensation in the imperial capital, and the daughter of the prime minister's family was about to marry into the Qi family, just tonight.
It seems that the heavens are blessing the couple to tie the knot. The red candle was lit, the red lantern was hung high, and the rain also stopped, for a while, the two mansions of Qi and Li were full of friends, and the victorious friends were like clouds, and in the army, all the figures with heads and faces in the court were absent, and even the saint sent Zhang Jin to send congratulatory gifts, and some people couldn't understand how these two families suddenly became in-laws. A clear-eyed person can see clearly.
"Miss, this big matter of getting married, it was done in such a hurry, and it was too unusual, the master agreed without thinking about it, and he didn't ask Miss what you mean." Li Xiangyi's maid Xiaoman pouted and complained.
"Talking nonsense again, the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, besides... And he's pretty good. In front of the mirror, a gentle and beautiful woman said. The little face is white and red.
She knew that her father hurriedly married herself, first, that person was really good, second, she also had a good impression of him, her mother tested herself two years ago, and she didn't want to marry too early at that time, and third, she married together, the Northern Yuan Empire went south, and the people above the court were uneven, and her father was the prime minister, the head of the civil officials, and he needed to set an example. In order to reassure people's hearts. The soldiers went out to defend the country to the death, and the literati could not immediately settle the world. But it's safe and steady, don't stumble and don't add to the chaos!
What a gentle girl! Understands everything!
With a salute, Qi Liang and Li Xiangyi have a new title, husband and wife.
Since then, life and death have been the same, and weal and disgrace have been shared.
The red lantern outside the house was hung high, the big red hijab inside the house was gently pressed, the bright hijab was lifted by Qi Liang, and the moving face was revealed, familiar and unfamiliar, known for 20 years, but only a few words.
Qi Liang smiled self-deprecatingly, he was going to lose this girl, she was destined to be a victim of her ambitions, and she was also a victim of the civil and military factions of the imperial court, this beautiful face, it's a pity.
"I'm sorry!" Qi Liang sat on the bed and whispered a useless nonsense.
"It's fine." Li Xiangyi also replied with three words simply, her voice was soft and soft, like a spring breeze, which made the guilt in Qi conscience a little less.
The most beautiful love in the world is just a childhood sweetheart, and the two have no guesses. The second fell in love at first sight, and the two loved each other. Again, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the choice that they don't have, if it is good to love after marriage, if not, it is common to wash the face with tears and spend the rest of their lives, not to mention that they were born in the prince's family, even if they are in the ravine, it is also the biggest of the big parents in the world, and it is not their turn to make their own decisions. Times are so.
Now it's impossible for Qi Liang to marry first and then love, he is leaving, he wants to see the land north of Beiding City, to see the person in Qiu Cicada's mouth.
"Rest, husband, you have to get up early tomorrow!" Li Xiangyi untied Qi Liang's wide clothes, and her pretty face was flushed.
Qi Liang held Li Xiangyi's hand and stared at her, only seeing full of tenderness and sweetness in her eyes. She knew everything, she knew she was leaving, she knew she was going to be alone in the empty house as soon as she got married. She knows everything, but she doesn't say anything.
Li Zifang is just one of her daughters, if she really doesn't want to, what can she do? I'm still thinking about how to sneak away tomorrow morning. What a self-proclaimed smart fool!
"Good!" The eldest prince of Qi, who has always been resourceful and has been like a fish in water in the gentle township of Drunken Dream Building, has become clumsy and ignorant in front of this newlywed lady at this moment.
"Husband, you don't have to feel guilty, I married you voluntarily." Li Xiangyi still has that tactful tone. comforted the husband who was about to leave.
obviously owed her, but she wanted her to comfort herself in turn. Qi conscience couldn't help but scold himself for being useless.
"I've wronged you!" Qi Liang raised his hand and stroked Li Xiangyi's beautiful face and said, if Qi Liang only had a good impression of this neighbor's daughter before, then he was really moved at this moment. With this daughter, what more can a husband ask for.
Li Xiangyi, who has always been thin-skinned, is unusually bold today. She hugged Qi Liang's waist and said: "Don't be wronged, I'm very happy to marry you, our two families almost never communicate because of those officials, and I don't want to take the initiative to find you with a thick face, in fact, every time I pass by your mansion, I slow down a little bit, and now marrying you is also a wish, let's worship the hall and enter the cave room, I am your wife Qi Liang's life, we are the husband and wife of a lifetime, between husband and wife, how can we talk about indebtedness?" It is said that marrying a chicken is a chicken, marrying a dog is a dog, since I am married to you, there is no grievance. In the end, Li Xiangyi's words became more and more powerful, and his expression became more and more determined.
The more Li Xiangyi is like this, the more uncomfortable Qi conscience is, he has a cold temperament, but he is not a cold-blooded creature, he loves the dear and beloved he has, and he loves the land of Xuanping even more, he will use his life to protect it.
The two hugged each other, and there were no more superfluous words.
After a long time, the two shared the same bed and told their little love stories.
"I was so charismatic. Madame has already made a secret promise to me! Qi Liang propped up the bed on his elbows and smiled at the beauty in front of him.
Li Xiangyi blushed, but she didn't deny it, but just responded: "Stinky beauty, you!" ”
"It must be three years old, when you were three years old, I ran to your door for the first time and smashed the door of your house with a stone, and stared at the housekeeper angrily and didn't dare to do anything to me."
"I'm sorry to say it! What are you doing with this cheek? So thick. Li Xiangyi reached out and pinched Qi Liang's face.
After the two frolicked for a while, Qi Liang seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Why don't you ...... with me?"
Halfway through the words, Li Xiangyi's fragrant lips were printed on Qi Liang's lips, blocking Qi Liang's mouth and preventing him from finishing, the two tongues were entwined, and the two hugged each other tightly and went to Yunyu together.
Before dawn on the second day, Qi Liang quietly got up, stood in front of the bed and looked at his wife on the bed crying silently, leaned over and lowered his head without making any movement and turned around. In the end, he resolutely left.
A few days later, Qi Liang found a letter in his change of clothes, and I don't know who wrote it when, only to see a line of small characters printed in Juanxiu:
vowed to go with you, but the situation was pale.
Don't think about being newlywed, work hard.
The woman is in the army, and the morale of the soldiers is not high.
Looking up at the birds flying, the size will fly.
There are many mistakes in personnel, and you will always look at each other.
The thin letter paper was full of dripping wrinkles, and Qi Liang held it, weighing as much as a thousand pounds.
