Chapter 10 (46) seeks only Soma
The last sentence of his sister immediately made Nanyang ashamed. She buried her head, didn't dare to look at Shang Cheng, and didn't know how to apologize, let alone explain. After listening to Chen Pu's introduction, Shang Cheng gave himself a new salute and hurriedly returned the salute. She has always been free to sway on such occasions, but now she can't say a complete sentence in her mouth.
Fortunately, Shang Cheng didn't seem to care too much about the little conflict at the beginning, and of course he didn't care too much about her as a princess. He sat down again and talked to Chen Pu about some of the things he had encountered in the past six months or so. At the same time, by the way, I also asked Chen Pu about his current situation.
But he was a commander in Yanshan, grasping the military with one hand and civil affairs with the other, in addition to training and fighting wars, he was concerned about the people's livelihood and economy, and every day in addition to his home was the yamen, and it was inconvenient to go to the barracks or inspect the place, and his life was almost boring, and there were basically no interesting stories to talk about. Chen Pu's situation is similar to him. Although she has the title of Zhuguo and has several positions in the forbidden army, she is a fictitious position, and she is not even qualified to observe in really important military affairs, and the only people who can command are the guards around her, so it is rare to go to the Liyuan camp; And because she is quiet by nature and impatient with the hustle and bustle of the capital and the exchange of people, she spends most of her time living in the Gyeonggi camp, and she is also the deputy head there. It was a vacant barracks after the Gyeonggi Guard was cut, and there was only less than one battalion of veterans left to serve as guards in the huge camp, so she had nothing to do, just read a book every day and learn a word, and then did not take the guards up the mountain to hunt a few rabbits...... The lives of the two are actually very boring and monotonous, and there is nothing good to talk about. In addition, the friendship between the two of them is not close to say that it is far away, the topic is shallow and uninteresting, and the topic is deep and cannot be said, plus there is a Nanyang sitting next to it, there are many guards outside the pavilion, and the important military affairs cannot be said, a few words that are as plain as boiled water have been said over and over again two or three times, and they are a little hesitant.
Fortunately, at this time, Nanyang interjected: "Sir, did you really enter Beijing this time to seek justice from the imperial court?" ”
These words immediately relieved Shang Cheng and Chen Pu of the siege. If there was no question from Nanyang, Shang Chengdu would be ready to say goodbye and go on the road again.
However, he also felt that Nanyang was looking for something to say. Whether he is looking for trouble with the military department or not, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with her, right? If Chen Pu asked like this, it would be reasonable; After all, Chen Pu is both a comrade-in-arms and a pillar country, and it is reasonable to say both private and public. But she couldn't find a connection with Nanyang is eight poles, she asked what does this mean?
If someone else asks like this, Shang Cheng may also use the question to play a wordy role, and by the way, he will grind the time until dinner. But the person who asked was Nanyang, so he couldn't help but be cautious. In Shangjing at the moment, there is a dispute between the north and the south in the court, and there is a terminally ill prince in the family of Emperor Dongyuan, which is really eventful; If it weren't for the fact that he really lacked major generals on hand, and the grassland combat strategy needed to be approved and coordinated in Beijing, he would not have made a trip at this time...... After thinking about it, he said vaguely: "That's it." But it's almost done now. ”
Nanyang looked at him and seemed reluctant to take care of himself, so he didn't speak again.
Chen Pu asked, "Then your position as commander has been implemented?" ”
Shang Cheng smiled and said, "How can there be any implementation." Two brigades of forbidden troops and several battalions of out-of-state garrisons were given and I was sent away. ”
Chen Pu knew about Yan Shanwei's lack of troops. "That way," she said happily, "you don't have to worry too much about the retaliation of the Turks." ”
"Yes, wait for them to die now." Shang Cheng said. As he spoke, he shook his head at Chen Pu very vaguely.
Chen Pu was stunned by Shang Cheng's small actions. Her reaction has always been unpleasant, and her thoughts cannot be said to be thorough, as those who know her well know; Fortunately, her soft personality is quite likable, and she never provokes right and wrong, so others don't come to disturb her. She frowned and thought about it for a long time, but she still didn't think what Shang Cheng meant by shaking his head, so she pulled on another topic and said, "When did you arrive in Beijing?" ”
"It's the evening of the second day of junior high school." Shang Cheng said, "I was thinking that I would go back after a few times to get things done, but I didn't expect that there would be a daughter's festival in Beijing...... Ahem, I was so anxious that I didn't remember it. As a result, I failed to find anyone from the military department on the third and fourth days of the junior high school, and it has been delayed until today. He slipped out of his mouth, and couldn't turn around, so he hurriedly finished talking about his own affairs and then asked Chen Pu, "I heard that the Son of Heaven went to Dacheng Palace, why did you ...... "Why did you come here and still be with your sister Nanyang?" He remembered that many people said that this Nanyang was a big disgrace to the royal family because of her perverse behavior, so the people in the clan were very distant from her; Chen Pu doesn't seem to have any sisterly affection for her sister.
Shang Cheng still didn't know, the things he heard were all old yellow calendars now. Since the beginning of the winter of last year, I don't know which way the gods appeared, Nanyang, who has always done absurd things, suddenly changed his mind, changed all kinds of grotesque and ostentatious ways in the past, and silently returned to his own Zhuangzi and never came out again, except for the first fifteenth day of the first month, he must enter the big house to ask his father and mother to be well, and the occasional visit of the close branch of the clan, no one else is seen; It is said that he suddenly had a great understanding in the way of calligraphy, so he devoted himself to studying. People didn't believe it at first. It wasn't until this year's spring when the great calligrapher Huang Bei came to visit Nanyang when he entered Beijing, and when he came out, he said "I can't do it" in person, and people knew that Nanyang was really at home to comprehend the avenue of calligraphy. Since Nanyang has changed his temperament, the Son of Heaven will naturally not treat this daughter who is deeply loved by him because of her exquisite calligraphy, and with a wave of his hand, he immediately gave her another piece of land next to Nanyang's Zhuangzi, and the clan that had been estranged from her for many years also had new contacts. And Chen Pu, the sister-in-law who was originally the same mother as Nanyang, of course, reconciled with her sister at this time......
However, if others can say this, Chen Pu can't. As a younger sister, she can't talk about her sister with anyone whether Nanyang is present or not. So she made an excuse: "My sister bought a good horse some time ago, tall and long-legged. I just heard from someone that I was curious, so I came to have a look. ”
Shang Cheng didn't have any hobby for horses, nodded casually, and was smiling about the next topic, when Nanyang suddenly said, "Is Mr. a good horse?" ”
"Huh?" Shang Cheng looked at her in amazement, "...... Generally. I can't say I like it, and I can't say I don't like it. "With his current position, it is difficult to have the opportunity to fight shirtless in person, whether it is offensive or defensive, so the quality of the horse basically means nothing to him.
His words made Nanyang clumsy for a while, burying his head and picking his fingers.
He saw that Nanyang didn't look like he had anything to say, so he turned his head to Chen Pu and said, "Yesterday outside Ganlu Temple, I happened to meet Xiao Laoshuai, and he also mentioned you. He said you ......"
Nanyang suddenly raised his head and said, "...... Then, Mr. is a general in the army, so he naturally understands the art of horses? ”
Shang Cheng had no choice but to stop talking and turn his head to look at Nanyang. Neither offended nor able to speak openly, he really couldn't do anything about this princess. He squeezed a smile out of his face and said, "I really don't know Soma." I, a great general, will do two things, one is to pick up a knife to cut people, and the other is to pick up a knife to cut people! He gestured to his face. You see, I cut people a lot, and they were cut like this. "This will always shut up this inexplicable princess, right? I remember that when Nanyang saw him for the first time, he exclaimed that he would let people catch ghosts; Now that she is sitting opposite her, if she is afraid of it, she will naturally avoid it one by one, and it is better to hide far away......
Who knows, this time he actually miscalculated.
Although Nanyang's eyes were still sparkling, and her expression seemed to be a little cringe, she actually looked directly at Shang Cheng bravely, and said, "Sir must be humbling." Mr. Erudite, the skill of Soma may be able to stump others, but it will certainly not embarrass Mr. ......"
Such praise is not only embarrassing for the teacher, but also embarrassing for Chen Pu. She misunderstood that Nanyang was still holding a grudge against Shang Cheng, so she hurriedly came out to play a round and said, "My imperial sister is joking with you." Aren't you in a hurry, let's go, I'm afraid I'll miss the night if it's too late. "There's no way, she can only ignore the etiquette to pick up the guests one by one, who let her have Nanyang's sister?
Shang Cheng immediately stood up and prepared to take his leave.
I shouldn't have stayed here at all!
He was in a hurry, and Nanyang was even more anxious than him. He just stood up and made a gesture to retreat, Nanyang followed him and stood up, and grabbed one of his arms with both hands: "Sir......"
At this time, not only Shang Cheng and Chen Pu on the pavilion were stunned, but even the guards and maids under the pavilion were all a little dumbfounded. Seeing that the three of them were still talking and laughing just now, how could something seem to have happened in the blink of an eye?
This time, Chen Pu's reaction was fast, and she blushed and scolded in a low voice: "Sister! What are you doing?! ”
Nanyang woke up in shock, one by one, she did something against etiquette in a panic! She hurriedly let go of Shang Cheng's arm and took two steps back to apologize: "I was in a hurry for a while, and I offended Mr. ......"
What else could Shang Cheng do besides laughing dryly?
“…… Mr. is erudite and knowledgeable, and his insight runs through the past and the present, and he has the world in mind......"
Chen Pu was already completely desperate for the third sister. She didn't even have the strength to be angry now, let alone interrupt Nanyang's harsh words that sounded like she was sarcastic. She could only stand aside and watch all this happen helplessly, and at the same time secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that Shang Cheng would not do anything too much because of impulse......
Shang Cheng was also ashamed. He hurriedly interrupted Nanyang's words and asked her, "Just say it directly, do you need my help with anything?" ”
“…… I just ask my husband to help me get a look at the horse. ”
It's not that the person in front of him is also a princess, Shang Cheng wants to whip her. If you want me to be embarrassed, just say it, why take out my eulogy and recite it now?
