Chapter 12 Wen Jiang marries
Since Ji Hu refused to marry in person, Qi Jiaogong seemed to have suffered a blow mentally, so he was depressed and angry. What made him unconvinced was: What is so great about you as a prince of Zheng Guo, what is the daughter of my great country who is not worthy of you Zheng Guo. Don't say that you Zheng Guo's son is your son, Zheng Zhuanggong also has to save some face for the widow, and now the widow has lost face in front of your little cub. The more I think about it, the more unpleasant it is.
Qi Jiaogong was unhappy in his heart, and every time he drank a little wine, he couldn't control his scolding. The people in the palace were all very careful to accompany them, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, although they couldn't understand who he was scolding. As long as you are not careful, bad luck will fall on your head.
As the king of a country, let a Zheng Guo'er play a trick, and he couldn't get out of this tone. However, the matter of finding a suitable partner for Wen Jiang also made the monarch pay attention to it. Especially in Yi Zhongnian's heart, it is a big deal.
Qi Jiaogong wanted to marry his daughter and was rejected by Zheng Guo's son Ji Su in person.
Soon it reached the ears of Dazai Ji Hui of Lu State. Ji Hui's mind turned, and he thought: Now that the monarch Lu Huan is not married, wouldn't it be a good time. If Lu and Qi marry, it can be regarded as a strong alliance, which will definitely be a good thing for Lu.
Just when Ji Hui had an understanding, Yi Zhongnian's family sent a letter. I implore Ji Hui Dazai to promote the goodwill of Qi and Lu. Moreover, Yi Zhongnian knew Ji Hui Dazai's temperament, and sent ten pairs of white walls, and a number of various treasures, not only that, but also conveyed a message: If the matter is done, there will be a hundred gold gifts. Ji Hui was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. It's pie-in-the-sky.
On this day, Ji Hui came to meet Lu Huangong.
After the two exchanged some state affairs, Ji Hui changed the topic and asked about Lu Huangong's private life.
Ji Hui, who is Dazai, said with concern: "Although the lord has a complete family of children, he has no relatives, so he should find a daughter of a big country to be the harem concubine." I wonder what the lord thinks? ”
Lu Huan Gong succeeded to the throne after a murder of his brother, which has made him grow a lot from the horror. Although the power of the Lu State is still controlled by the Dazai in front of him, the heart of this young monarch has slowly entered the national politics. So, he asked Dazai Ji Hui rhetorically: "What does Yiqing mean?" ”
Ji Hui said his thoughts: "I heard that Duke Qi has two beautiful daughters, the eldest daughter is married to Duke Wei Xuan, and the younger daughter Wen Jiang is still in the pavilion. If I can let the Duke of Qi marry the little girl to the lord, it will be a blessing for my Lu country. I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”
"Lu and Qi have been married for generations. Another kiss and kiss? Lu Huan Gong looked at Ji Hui and did not express his position immediately.
Ji Hui thought for a while and continued: "I heard that this Wen Jiang is not only outstanding in appearance, she is the first beauty in Qi today, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
When Lu Huangong heard that Wen Jiang was a beauty, he was still moved, so he agreed casually: "Qi is a big country, if Qi is beautiful, Qing can be a red medium for the widow." Isn't it possible to consolidate the relationship between Qi and Shandong? ”
Ji Hui was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that this young monarch still needs a beauty. Ji Hui wished that he would have such an opportunity, on the one hand, he could achieve a big wedding for the monarch, and he would be even more meritorious and have more say in the court; On the other hand, he has done great things for the monarch of Qi State, and he also enjoys a certain status in Qi State. Why not!
Qi Gong's youngest daughter is called Wen Jiang, and the one who grows is called beautiful.
In the words of the common people, she is the kind of peerless beauty who "understands words better than flowers and flowers, and is more fragrant than jade and jade". And not only is he beautiful, but he is also talented, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is familiar with the past and the present, and his exports are chapters, so Qi Jiaogong gave his beloved daughter the name of Wen Jiang.
Zheng Guoshizi was afraid that Qi Nu would be embarrassed by being born in a big country, but in fact, he didn't see Wen Jiang. Such a gorgeous and talented woman believes that Ji Hu will come to a different conclusion after meeting. As Qi Jiaogong said, how can he not marry such a beautiful daughter?
The prince of Qi is called Jiang Zhu'er, who has been pampered by Qi Zhugong since he was a child, and has become a hedonist of dogs and horses. Although he and Wen Jiang are brother and sister, they were not born to the same mother. Jiang Zhu'er is two years older than Wen Jiang, they have played together since they were children, they are inseparable, one is smart and studious; One is bohemian. A Bo Gu Tong Jin, the export into a chapter, out of the pavilion in the jade girl; One is unlearned, unskilled, reckless, and has become an arrogant man. However, the relationship between the two is very good, although Jiang Zhu'er has a stubborn habit, she treats her sister since she was a child, and she has been cared for in every way, and no one is allowed to approach.
Wen Jiang gradually grew up, slim and beautiful. At this time, Jiang Zhu'er has gradually matured, this man has no ambitions, but looks like a tall and beautiful man with pink face and red lips and long legs. Standing with Wen Jiang, the brother and sister are called a high-value combination.
It's a pity that they are brother and sister, even if they are half-brothers and sisters, they are also brothers and sisters, and brothers and sisters have not been able to marry since ancient times.
Although Jiang Zhu'er said that he was arrogant and domineering inside and outside the palace, wielding knives and wheels, and not taking anyone in his eyes except for Qi Qigong, he had another kind of lingering when he saw Sister Wen Jiang, who was protected by him since she was a child, and at the same time had an inexplicable impulse. When he was a child, he guarded this beautiful sister, and outsiders couldn't approach him, and he didn't know why. Now he seems to have some enlightenment in his mind and understands some of the reasons. has a good impression of Wen Jiang, and they are inseparable.
Wen Jiang's charm turned into an invisible magnetic force, firmly attracting Jiang Zhu'er, and his every move made him feel excited. That instinctive, that kind of impulse from the bottom of my heart is this desire to possess, this Jiang Zhu'er can't wait to swallow this sister of her own into her stomach at once. And Jiang Zhu'er's male body and his bohemian uninhibited also entered Wen Jiang's heart, don't look at her quietly, whenever this brother can't control the commotion in front of him, it seems to be the Qiji in her heart. So Jiang Zhu'er was even more fearless and mixed with Wen Jiang. Sometimes Wen Jiang is in a bad mood, and no one in the palace can do anything, but only Jiang Zhu'er can patiently coax her and make her laugh.
After a long time, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters has become a semi-public matter. The subordinates in the palace, as long as they see them together, they quickly avoid it, lest they be discovered by Jiang Zhu'er's pair of beast eyes, as long as Jiang Zhu'er finds out that someone sees him and Wen Jiang together, it will be a fist and kick, and it may be difficult to save his life. So the two always play together, in and out of pairs. In the palace and outside the palace, it is like entering a no-man's land. The only people they avoided were Qi Jiaogong and Qi Jiaogong's wives and concubines.
The aid of Ji Hu, the son of Zheng Guo, quickly wiped out the Rong army. In front of Wen Jiang, Qi Qigong praised Ji Hu for his bravery and resourcefulness. Wen Jiangman thought that there would be Zheng Guo's son Ji suddenly to marry her. But Ji Hu insisted on refusing, and soon after returning to Zheng Guo, he married Princess Chen Guo, which made Wen Jiang suffer a lot of blows, and she was worried that her affair with her brother would be exposed, so that she really couldn't marry, so she fell ill depressed.
The disease she contracted was quite strange, with fever at night and chills during the day, and a little dazed. This gave Jiang Zhu'er enough excuses, on the pretext of visiting her sick sister, she often went in and out of her sister's boudoir, and it was often Jiang Zhu'er who sat on the edge of the bed, looking at poor Sister Wen Jiang, touching here and pointing there, and asking Sister Wen Jiang where she was uncomfortable, looking very caring.
One day, Qi Jiaogong happened to visit Wen Jiang. Seeing that Jiang Zhu'er was also there, and from the eyes of the two, Qi Jiaogong read something that made him feel bad.
Qi Jiaogong immediately lowered his face to accuse Jiang Zhu'er, and said: "Although you two are brother and sister, you must also know how to avoid men and women, and you can just send someone to visit in the future, you don't have to come in person." ”
Jiang Zhu'er is not afraid of anyone inside and outside the court, but he is afraid of this Duke Qi. And this Qi Gonggong's words just pointed to the most secret tacit understanding between them, and the two of them suddenly had a warm heartbeat. Jiang Zhu'er didn't dare to reply a word, and retreated timidly.
Gong Qi went out and told the harem concubines to be optimistic about Wen Jiang and not to let the brother and sister get in close contact to avoid the suspicion that men and women would not kiss.
Jiang Zhu'er rarely saw Wen Jiang's face since then. During this period, Duke Qi married Jiang Zhu'er to the princess of the Song Kingdom, and the princesses of the Lu Kingdom and the Ju Kingdom also had beautiful women who came to marry. Jiang Zhu'er, the son of Qi State, is already surrounded by beautiful women. This made Wen Jiang very unhappy.
Wen Jiang was suffocated in the room by himself. Jiang Zhu'er didn't come to visit, and she was even more lonely and uncomfortable. It seems that the illness has become more serious, and he is lazy in bed all day, enduring his heart disease and remaining silent. No one is happy to persuade them.
It was at this time that Ji Hui, the Dazai of the Lu State, sent people to the Qi State to discuss the matter of proposing marriage for the monarch.
Because Wen Jiang was still sick, Qi Jiaogong didn't think about it, and proposed to talk about his daughter's marriage after a while. In this way, the request of Lu Guo Dazai was dismissed. Yi Zhongnian, who was on the side, was anxious, and felt that it was too simple for Qi Jiaogong to send Lu Guodazai like this, and Wen Jiang married Lu Huangong It was a perfect match in the world. So Yi Zhongnian interjected and said: "Wen Jiang is not seriously ill, it is nothing more than a headache and brain fever, and the lord must not delay Wen Jiang's marriage." ”
So Qi Jiaogong changed his words and said: "Once the little girl's condition improves, she can discuss marriage with Lu Guo." ”
Dazai Ji Hui's envoy came back to talk about Wen Jiang's illness, and Ji Hui thought that he had eaten a closed door and felt very sad. But when you hear the latter words, you have a base. It's just that I don't know how to talk to Lu Huan at the moment. In order not to affect Lu Huangong's mood, Dazai Ji Hui pretended to be an envoy as if nothing happened. Don't talk to Lu Huan about the frustration of the marriage proposal.
In the palace of the State of Qi, the matter of Lu Huan Gong sending someone to propose to Wen Jiang became a hot topic. The palace maids chattered and told Wen Jiang about Lu Guojun's marriage proposal. Wen Jiang was originally worried about his entanglement with Jiang Zhu'er, and he was sad because of Zheng Guo's refusal. It's as complicated as overturning a five-flavor bottle in my heart, and I can't sleep all night, and I'm just thinking about it. Now that he heard that a young prince wanted to marry him, the pain of falling out of love was alleviated a lot, and he was afraid that he would miss this opportunity, so he began to eat, and his face gradually improved. It didn't take long for the illness to get better.
Seeing this, Qi Jiaogong remembered the matter of Lu Guo's proposal, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Lu Guozai Ji Hui and asked him to come to Qi State to discuss the marriage of Wen Jiang.
Dazai Himehui finally waited for the good news in silence. So he hurriedly reported to Duke Lu Huan and discussed with Duke Lu Huan to prepare a dowry. At this time, Ji Hui would not give this opportunity to be a good person to others, and personally led the team and brought ten cars of dowry gifts to Qi to formally ask for marriage.
Gong Qi agreed on the spot, and made an appointment on an auspicious day to send his daughter Wen Jiang to complete the wedding.
Jiang Zhu'er, the prince of Qi State, couldn't finish his wives and concubines all day long, and gradually forgot Wen Jiang. Now that I heard that Wen Jiang was going to marry to Lu State, my previous feelings for Wen Jiang's sister suddenly came to my heart, and I sent someone to send flowers to Wen Jiang, carrying a handwritten letter full of sensationalism:
"The peach is blooming, and it is shining. When the household does not fold, it floats for Tho. Groaning and groaning. ”
Not to mention that this prince of Qi is arrogant and reckless, but there is a trace of gentleness and ambiguity in Wen Jiang. It is true that Wen Jiang is a talented woman who is well-versed in the past and the present, and if she just relies on her appearance, she can't conquer her heart. It's just that this Jiang Zhu'er is his own eldest brother, although he was not born to the same mother, he still made Wen Jiang sway from side to side, worried about his stomach, and couldn't give up.
The letter of the prince Jiang Zhu'er is a poem, which in modern vernacular language is:
"The peach blossoms are so beautiful, when you bloomed in front of my window, I didn't break you off, but I waited for the news that you were blown away by the east wind and drifted into the distance, alas, I am so heartbroken, so heartbroken."
Wen Jiang saw this love letter and understood the ambiguity, so he also replied with a letter that read:
"Tao Youying, Ye Ye is spiritual. Now is not broken, there is no spring! Tell me to do it. ”
The consciousness of Wen Jiang's poem is to say:
The buds of the peach blossoms, flashing its soul, do not break today, and there is spring. Sister, I'll be waiting for you forever.
Jiang Zhu'er read the poems and knew that Sister Wen Jiang still had herself in her heart. It's even more unbearable for the love and lovesickness from my sister.
It didn't take long for Lu Guo to marry Wen Jiang, and Qi Gong planned to send Wen Jiang to marry in person according to the explanation he had given to Lu Guo in advance.
After Jiang Zhu'er heard about it, she felt that the opportunity had come, so she pretended to run to Qi Jiaogong and said, "Father-in-law is busy with official business, the child can go to send his sister to marry for his father." ”
Qi Yigong rejected Jiang Zhu'er in one bite. "I have promised Lu Guo to send his relatives in person, as the king of a country, how can he break his word casually and do what he says?"
While he was talking, someone came to report that Lu Huangong's vehicle had arrived at the border between the two countries.
Qi Jiaogong said: "Look at what Lu Guo does is very polite, they are afraid that I will be too tired to travel a long way, so the greeting team will wait at the border." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to order the team to set off. Jiang Zhu'er stood on the side of the convoy to send off relatives, his face was gloomy, and he silently watched the red float with colorful silk and red flowers sitting on Wen Jiang's float gradually moving away. There is a different kind of emotion surging in my heart.
Although the brother and sister failed to say goodbye to each other when Wen Jiangyuan married Lu Guo. One of the floats looked sad outside, and the other looked at each other secretly inside the curtain of the float.
But there are two sets of love poems that have figured out that they have planted a bane for each other, and this bane broke out many years later into a ridiculous love story between brother and sister.
