When Mrs. Liu heard that her son was going to marry Chen Yan, she was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and she agreed and made a match. With the respect of his mother-in-law, he personally persuaded Chen Yan to marry into the Qin family. Chen Yan naturally has no reason not to agree.

This kind of thing is very rare in this era of Datang.

A woman like Chen Yan, Hugh said that men like it, and even women like it. It is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are born enemies, but Chen Yan is undoubtedly a rare "perfect daughter-in-law" in this world. Although Mrs. Liu had the shortest contact with her, she fell in love with her for the first time without any suspense.

In the words of the old lady, Chen Yan is already her own daughter in her eyes, just like Shuang'er. A woman like her, whoever marries her is a great blessing! She didn't shy away from saying it in front of Xue Lian and others, because she knew that Chen Yan deserved such praise, and whoever listened to it had to be convinced. Including Princess Gaoyang, who was born as an emperor, and Wu Meiniang, who was the first to marry Qin Mubai.

Invisibly, Chen Yandu, who has not yet passed the door, has already been ranked as the "head of the inner house" of the Qin family, and has the meaning of a leader.

Marriage in the world is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents. Chen Yan's hometown is far away in the south of the Yangtze River and there are no direct relatives at home, and the only father-in-law, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, also went to Liaodong, so the old lady is still worried. comforted Chen Yan vigorously, saying that the etiquette was not good, and asked her to forgive me.

Chen Yan smiled and said to the old lady, I don't care about this.

Mrs. Liu said with a straight face: "How can you not care? What is more important in a woman's life than getting married? Although you and San Lang both have a small building, this wedding must not be ambiguous! A good daughter-in-law like you, even with a lantern, is nowhere to be found. I have repeatedly told Saburo to make sure that your wedding is lively and magnificent! …… Yan'er, you listen to the old body, in the future, San Lang's family affairs will be entrusted to you to preside. Although Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang both have marriage contracts with San Lang in advance, I think you are the only one who can really be worthy of San Lang's virtuous help! ”

Chen Yan smiled indifferently and was noncommittal.

The meaning of Mrs. Liu's words is to let Chen Yan take charge of the affairs as the "wife" of Qin Mubai's family in the future. In fact, there has already been an "unspoken rule" for this matter, that is, to claim to the outside world that Princess Gaoyang is the elder, because she is a princess after all and is the first to get married; Inside, including Qin Mubai, they all have good respect for Chen Yan.

The old man has the idea of the old man, and of course Chen Yan will not argue and refute it. She knew that Qin Mubai was no better than any man in this world. He is a very good woman, and he is also a little flowery, so there are many women around him. But he has never treated any woman around him as a plaything, he knows how to respect people, and he will never abandon him, which is his commendable place. Although Qin Mubai is now surrounded by many women, among the women, there is no distinction between wives and concubines, the eldest and the youngest, and the eldest and the youngest.

Therefore, there is no way to talk about the so-called difference in the names of wives and concubines.

The Qin government sent a happy post, telling all the prefectures, counties and military governments under the jurisdiction of the Lanzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office. For a time, Helong knew everything.

Qin Mubai returned from the Western Expedition in triumph and was about to get married, which was a double happiness and a happy event for the entire Lanzhou. Therefore, the people of Lanzhou put up lanterns and celebrated all over the city. The merchants and wealthy gentry were also grateful for the benefits that the Qin family father and son had sought for them over the years, and spontaneously collected huge sums of money to decorate the entire city. Every family is like a big festival, wearing new clothes and hanging colorful silk, gongs and drums are noisy and laughing.

Although Chen Yan has always disliked showing off, she saw all this in front of her, and she didn't say anything, and her heart was shocked and moved. Because he knew that Qin Mubai had never been a vulgar and frivolous person, it was unusually for him to do so many "mundane things" now. The reason is nothing more than wanting to give her a grand wedding that she will never forget.

Chen Yan has never asked Qin Mubai to do anything, let alone let him do anything deliberately for himself, or change anything.

But Qin Mubai said, I have been treating you badly for so many years. So, starting with the wedding, I want to forgive my sins and make amends to you with the rest of my life!

For the first time, Chen Yan shed tears for him in front of Qin Mubai.

On the wedding day, Shuang'er groomed Chen Yan's bride.

"Sister Yan...... Oh, I'm going to have to call you sister-in-law, hee-hee! Shuang'er smiled while combing Chen Yan's hair, "You are so beautiful!" What a blessing my brother is to marry you! It's a blessing that took eight lifetimes to cultivate! ”

Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "Shaohua's half-passed face is old, and I am no longer young." Compared with Mei Niang and Princess Gaoyang, I am a bad old woman. Which place is beautiful? ”

"A kind and happy person is the most beautiful ......" Shuang'er said softly, "Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, you are not as young as Mei Niang and Gao Yang, but in our eyes, you are the most beautiful!" My brother also loves you the most! He once said to me, 'For a woman like Chen Yan, her charm has little to do with her appearance and age. Her beautiful hair comes from within, and it can withstand the years and the enemy, and the longer it lasts. The longer we get along, the more intoxicating and mesmerizing she becomes'. Hee-hee, aren't these words very sensual? But when my brother said these words, he was never more sincere and emotional. I've never heard my brother describe a woman like that; I've never seen my brother so heartfelt and in love with anyone! ”

Chen Yan looked at herself in the mirror. The woman in the mirror, with a happy smile on her face that she had never seen before, nodded lightly and said, "Shuang'er, you are right, a happy woman is the most beautiful...... I never cared about how I looked, and I never did anything about dressing up. But today, I think I'm the most beautiful and happiest woman in the world! ”

The wedding was indeed unprecedented. In addition to the invited guests, the people of Lanzhou also spontaneously came to join in the fun, surrounding the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion with three floors inside and three floors outside.

Needless to say, the wedding was festive and lively, in fact, most of the officials and generals were secretly thinking: Young Marshal Qin is really calm! Now rumors about him are circulating all over the world, and many worries are lurking. Not only was he not half nervous, but he also acted like he had nothing to do with himself, and he had the leisure to do happy things!

They naturally didn't know that for the current Qin Mubai, the so-called "major events in the world" were really too much to experience and see too much. So tired, tired, tired. In his opinion, these are just fleeting moments, and they are not as important as the friendship that he can grasp with his own reach.

Just like when I heard Master Qingshan say in the palace, the story of the Buddhist scriptures of "spider grass and rain and dew", and then thinking of the demon, Qin Mubai didn't want to miss any precious feelings in this world.

Don't know how to cherish when you have it, but don't know until you lose it that you can't regret it. In contrast, as long as he can exchange for the peace of the family, if Qin Mubai is asked to resign from his military power and official position now, he will not hesitate, so that he can end up relaxed.

Once you see through fame, fortune and wealth, all the troubles in the world today are nothing more than a struggle for power and interests. And this kind of competition is never-ending and never-ending! It's like an abyss, let you be a hero, let you dominate the world, once you stretch out your feet and step into it, you will forever fall into the quagmire and can't extricate yourself.

The end is either to suffer from it for the rest of your life; Or, it will be ruthlessly devoured and will never recover. The former is like a generation of British lord Li Shimin, he is destined to leave a legacy in history, but what can he do? Until the day he died, he could never get rid of this endless torment, and no one knew the pain and helplessness in his heart; The latter, such as Garqinling, Li Chengqian, and Hou Junji, cannot be enumerated.

So—let the wind and rain blow up, I don't move from the eight winds.

The Buddha said, 'For the sake of giving birth to the heart, there will be emotional troubles and worries if Eligen is brave and his body and mind go straight down, and cultivate to the place where no thought is born, it is the original face' - this is also the realm of Qin Mubai today.

Flower candles in the cave room, Qin Mubai and Chen Yan, drink each other.

Chen Yan, who has always been plain-faced, put on some light makeup today, with a pink face and peach cheeks with Chunwei, which is charming and moving.

After a day of trouble, although it was fun, people were also a little tired. The two of them drank two glasses and sat quietly. They looked at each other, but they were silent for a long time.

"Yeon, do you remember the first time we met?" Qin Mubai smiled.

"Yes. I almost killed you with a sword. Chen Yan smiled.

"Time flies so fast," Qin Mubai sighed softly...... "At that time, I was still a fledgling young boy, taking everything for granted, but with a little self-proclaimed cleverness, I was reckless. Over the years, I've probably experienced a lot more than the average person would ever go through in a lifetime. So, I have seen through many things and figured them out. In this life, everything is not brought by life and death is not brought away. Only in my lifetime, cherish the people around you, it is enough! ”

"Mu Bai, compared to back then, you really seem to be a different person." Chen Yan smiled and said, "When I first saw you, I thought you were just a frivolous and vulgar officialdom junior, and I was very disgusted with you. After getting along for a long time, I realized that you are not only smart and enterprising, but also have a benevolent heart. But what really makes me interested in you is in Xiangyang. I will never forget every moment we spent together in the small building outside Xiangyang. It was the best time I've ever had in my life! …… But despite this, I didn't think we'd be together forever. Because I think that you and I are always people of two worlds, it is easy to see each other and difficult to get along, and it is impossible to talk about staying together. Even if we have a small building, I always think so. But now, the facts are in front of my eyes...... Mu Bai, I want to say to you: thank you! It was you who made me have no regrets in this life! ”

The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth grinned, "This sentence should be for me." I think I'll be glad to have you with me for the rest of my life! ”

The two hugged each other tightly.

The red candles flicker, and the shadows are in pairs.

After another three days, Qin Mubai still hadn't left the house. The affairs of the Governor's Mansion and the army were also ignored.

At this moment, even Pang Fei was a little out of breath and came to see Qin Mubai.

He asked, "Teacher, what should we do now?" People all over the world are staring at Lanzhou, slandering me that Lanzhou is gathering soldiers and horses to plot a rebellion. In a few days, the army led by General Xue and General Yuwen will return, how can we distinguish it? ”

"The 300,000 army returned from the westward expedition, and the journey was thousands of miles away. We must straighten out our troops and horses and recuperate. Qin Mubai said lightly, "Whatever outsiders think, let him go." Let's just not mess around ourselves. ”

Pang Fei said: "That's right. But what if...... The imperial court really appointed the king of Wei as the crown prince, where do we go? ”

The implication is that shouldn't the Kansai Army have some movement at this time? It's good to put a little pressure on the imperial court, in short, you can't let King Wei enter the East Palace.

Qin Mubai's brows twisted slightly, "Pang Fei, your mentality is not right!" …… His heart can be punished, you know? ”

Pang Fei was so frightened that he flicked it, and hurriedly said, "The teacher has misunderstood!" How dare the students threaten the imperial court, it's just ...... Fight for it, can't you? ”

"I still say the same thing, if you don't fight, it's a big fight." Qin Mubai said calmly, "Now, no matter what we do, it is out of place. Therefore, the best strategy is to strike after static braking. ”

Pang Fei couldn't argue, so he just nodded and said, "What if the imperial court issues an order to let the teacher and me return to the court?" ”

Qin Mubai's eyes lit up, "Then go!" ”

"What if it's a Hongmen banquet?"

Qin Mubai smiled, "I'm not Pei Gong, my ambition is not in the world, why do you need to use the Hongmen banquet to entertain me?" - Wait! It won't be long before there will be a wind on the side of the court. Because I plan to write to the imperial court, saying that the western regions of Tibet have been pacified, and there is no need to station so many soldiers and horses in Guanxi. Therefore, I will return my military power and resign and go into hiding! ”

Pang Fei was stunned and speechless.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "Pang Fei, tell you the truth." In fact, I sent people to spread rumors about me. ”

"Huh?!" Pang Fei was immediately stunned.

"You heard it right, that's it." Qin Mubai said lightly, "At that time, my thoughts were the same as yours, and I also wanted to use my own strength to interfere in the imperial court, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting King Wu and helping him seize the throne." But now...... I thought I was naïve. It turns out that no matter how great a hero is, in the eyes of the imperial court, he is just a cold chess piece; The people in the court will not tell you anything about humanity. They only have profit in their eyes. But with the rumors in the market, they can take me as a thief. It's chilling to me, but it's also a good thing. Just such a small temptation made me completely realize the meanness and ruthlessness of politics. ”

"Temptation ......" Pang Fei chewed on these two words, speechless.

Qin Mubai smiled, "King Wu is not dead, and King Wei will not become the crown prince." But I, Qin Mubai, will not continue to stay in the court and assist the new monarch to serve the Tang Dynasty. Pang Fei, please convey these words to His Majesty the Emperor, and please rest assured that I, Qin, have no ambitions, and I will not do anything to harm the Tang Dynasty. Because...... I belong to this era and love my country dearly! ”

Pang Fei trembled, looked at Qin Mubai in amazement, dumbfounded.

Qin Mubai still smiled slightly, and said: "Over the years, Qin has been loyal to the Tang Dynasty from birth to death, and he has no regrets. But what can be done for Datang is what is in front of you. Now, I am clear and clear, worthy of my heart, worthy of Datang! ”

Pang Fei's expression had become a little nervous, and his face turned pale, and he muttered, "Why does the teacher ...... Suddenly say this to your students? ”

Qin Mubai looked at him sideways, smiling without saying a word.

stared at Pang Fei with a lot of anxiety and panic.

"Steward Lu was sent by you, right? And today you deliberately provoked me with words? …… In fact, these temptations are meaningless. Qin Mubai smiled and said lightly, "Pang Fei, in fact, I knew as early as when you transferred the Guanxi Army from Xiangzhou that you were the eyeliner that His Majesty the Emperor placed beside me and was sent to spy on me. But I haven't been able to find fault with it. For I know that thou shalt not be able to do it myself, and that thou art faithful to the king is the duty of a courtier. Heaven and earth are the king's teacher, you are in front, you have not done anything wrong. ”

Pang Fei fell to his knees and sobbed silently with his head, "Teacher, I'm not right for you!" ”

"Forget it. I don't blame you. Qin Mubai got up and walked out, "As I said, politics is always mean and ruthless. I'm tired of it...... It's true! ”
