Chapter 119: The Emperor Gives Marriage
Regarding the story of Xiao Yi's warbler Yanyan of the cherry blossom girl, Su Yu thought that the ending ended with the falling flowers intentionally flowing and ruthless, but a few days after the stable days, there were rotten peach blossoms coming to the door.
I don't know if it was the old man of the Xiao family who had passed away who gave a dream to the little emperor in Beijing, and let the little emperor suddenly, not far away, care about Xiao Yi's marriage, talk about hard work and achievements, what is the pillar of the country, etc., and so on, and so on, and the final meaning is that he has found a good family for Xiao Yi, so that he can be beautiful in his arms and relieve his depression.
When the holy decree came down, Su Yu didn't say anything, but only gave Xiao Yi a look to understand for himself.
But speaking of this matter, Su Yu feels that he is also responsible, after all, the entire Liang people know that Xiao Yi has lost his wife for a long time and has been alone for many years, and although she "came back from the dead" a few days ago, she let everyone in the world know that he Xiao Yi has been abandoned, so as the little emperor of the owner, it is reasonable to care about the family affairs of his subordinates.
But no matter what, Su Yu felt that since she and Xiao Yi had started again, someone wanted to snatch a man from her, it was absolutely impossible, it was a big deal that she robbed Xiao Yi and returned to Qingyunling or returned to Southern Xinjiang, and looked at the places that the king of heaven and Lao Tzu couldn't control, which one dared to come out and take care of her!
Xiao Yi's reaction to receiving the holy decree was unusual, there was no joy, and there was no strong refusal, and in addition to dealing with some official duties every day, he learned some small means to make his daughter-in-law happy. For example, Zicheng bought a little rabbit for Jiaojiao, so Xiao Yi also followed, bought the same rabbit for his daughter-in-law, and saw that Zicheng Jiaojiao bought the hottest snack at the moment, so Xiao Yi would also respond and give him the same.
The process is the same, it turns out that different people, the ending must be different, for example, the delicate little white rabbit grew up slowly under her care, with snow-white fur and red eyes, very cute, and Su Yu's rabbit, after growing a little fatter, was ordered by her to let Ah Shrimp be slaughtered, sprinkled with some oil and salt and roasted brown, and even Xiao Yi, who was handling affairs in the study, was divided into one or two pieces. After the snacks were brought back, they all ate them, but Jiaojiao's heart was full of joy and snacks, closed the door and went over to kiss her son several times, and Su Yu here, as soon as she saw that there was a good dish to drink, she asked someone to find Li Liangqiao Qi and others to come, bragging and drinking until dawn.
As for the matter of marriage, Su Yu has the most straightforward plan in his heart, and Xiao Yi also has the most direct countermeasure in his heart, this big thing in other people's homes was gradually forgotten by the two of them, until someone sent a letter, saying that the people who sent their relatives had arrived in the nearby Yongning County, and the two looked at each other, planning to discuss what to do next.
Su Yu here, first of all, expressed a very tough attitude, that is, it is okay to think of countermeasures, the premise is that either two people will live, or they will break up.
Xiao Yi also firmly agreed with his daughter-in-law's idea, so that night, two people who were not good people muttered together, and discussed a not good, even a little bad idea.
Since ancient times, disobeying the holy decree is like rebellion, which is a capital crime, so Xiao Yi had to accept this holy decree of marriage.
It is said that when the first emperor was in power, there was an ambitious figure in Beijing, and Xiao Yi's current situation is similar, that is, the emperor said that the interest of the matchmaker suddenly came, and he gave a courtier in Beijing a family affair, which was a happy thing, who ever thought that the courtier was an extreme dead eye, and was very dissatisfied with the family business that the emperor said, especially dissatisfied with the girl's big belly and round waist, and the literature was shallow, and she insulted his name as a talented man in vain. very resolutely rejected the emperor's decree of marriage, and the people in the court at that time were all amazed that a young minister had such courage.
Of course, in the end, the emperor's approach did not live up to expectations, since the marriage given by Chrysostom Yuyan was not satisfied, then the emperor was not a strong man, so he dragged the courtier to the prison, and within half a month, he cut off his head for the crime of treason.
In this way, I have to say that if you talk about backbone, the courtier is much stronger than Xiao Yi, but if you talk about power and trickery, compared with Xiao Yi, the courtier's method is a little stupid.
The next day, I rushed early in the morning, and the team that went to greet the relatives, led by Zicheng, beat the gongs and drums and went to Yongning, Su Yu dressed as a small soldier, silently followed the team, ready to do the stick that scattered the mandarin ducks.
In fact, speaking of which, the county master of Yongning can be regarded as Su Yu's old acquaintance, when the Beidi soldiers invaded Daliang and trapped Xiao Yi's father in Fengcheng near Yongning, Su Yu still found a way and used some means to borrow soldiers from the county master surnamed Zhou.
Thinking of the county lord surnamed Zhou, Su Yu will think of the interesting story of the old man Zhou's back house, after the end of the borrowing of soldiers, Su Yu still had the heart to give a suggestion to the county lord, persuading him to find a master to go to the ancestral grave to see the feng shui, why is it so coincidental, the lady concubine that the lord himself married, one, two, three or four, all brought him a hat of faint green.
Therefore, later, the old man of Zhou looked at his concubine and wife very closely, for fear that there would be such an immoral thing again.
But in this world, the more you are afraid of something, the more things will happen. Su Yu remembered that the last time he was held by the master of that week was the concubine Gan, the face of the Gan family was like a peach blossom, but she was a beautiful woman who was pitied, but after Xiao Yi investigated, Su Yu sighed again for what happened to the master of that week.
That Zhou Zibu Zhou, after his one, two or three concubines came out of the wall one after another, he was over half a hundred years old when he married Gan, but Gan was young and beautiful, just the same age as a flower.
Like most young people in this world, they always have a very strong curiosity about unknown and novel things, and Gan is the same, it is the age of fun, but he was locked up at home by the old man Zhou like a bird, and he was not allowed to contact the men outside.
And this time, Master Zhou, who was not a small age, could no longer bear such a blow, and finally couldn't afford to get sick, and it didn't take long for him to return to the west.
Maybe he was promoted by Zhou Zibu as his father, Zhou Chengkang, who was a son, inherited his father's business and became the county official of Yongning County, or maybe his father's most "beautiful" deeds in his life left a certain shadow on his son.
Now in response to the emperor's decree, the bride who traveled thousands of miles to the border to marry Xiao Yi settled in the pavilion in Yongning County.
The marriage given by the emperor himself, the woman is the daughter of the Shangshu family, and the man is the famous general of the town, such a big thing, such a big battle, it is impossible for Zhou Chengkang, the current county prince, not to know, must have respectfully taken the congratulatory gift and went to visit.
Zicheng and Su Yu's team to welcome relatives was full of "difficulties" along the way, first encountered the collapse of the mountain road, and then encountered the bandits blocking the road, and then the horses were frightened and hesitated no matter how they were whipped, which made the original two-day journey drag on for four or five days and did not arrive at Yongning.
And Yongning's side, the bride of the royal gift seems to have encountered something bad, or the window was blown open by the wind at night and was cold, or the wild dog was frightened, in short, a delicate lady who had never been out of the house, suddenly went to the north in such a rough and unstable climate, the water and soil were uncomfortable, and she fell ill all of a sudden.
For this reason, Zhou Chengkang, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, sent people or himself, and went to visit many times.
Once, after Zhou Chengkang went to visit, he went back and found that he found that in the cloak and hat, I don't know when it was stained with Miss Shangshu's veil, so Zhou Chengkang looked at the handkerchief and thought a lot, feeling that it was a little impolite to throw it away, and it was a little inconsiderate to keep it, and it seemed presumptuous to go back, so he stared at the handkerchief and studied it back and forth for a long time, but never came to any results, but looked at the handkerchief embroidered by Miss Shangshu, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt gentle and beautiful.
And Miss Shangshu here, after Zhou Chengkang left, I accidentally saw a paper-folded crane in front of the window, the crane was dexterous and cute, picked it up and took a closer look, and saw that there seemed to be faint handwriting inside, so Miss Shangshu opened the crane, blushed, and silently read a love letter with a strong lovesickness on it.
Since then, the two of them have their own hearts when they see each other again, and between their eyebrows and eyes, there is a lingering meaning that is more than others.
This is just a vague beginning, this little bit of affection, when the welcoming team arrived in Yongning, it was completely buried in the hearts of the two people, that Zhou Chengkang still did a good job of the reception of the county lord to usher in, that Miss Shangshu stabilized her heart, dressed neatly, and was at ease to be her own bride.
Zicheng and Su Yu, who were mixed in the team, arrived in Yongning and deliberately chose the time when it was just nightfall, so the two sides joined hands and decided to rush again tomorrow morning, calculating that the day they arrived in the border city happened to be an auspicious day for the zodiac.
But the plan often does not change quickly, just that night, the official polite words of greetings, that Zhou Chengkang was about to go home, Miss Shangshu was about to go back to the room, and when Zicheng, who was greeting his relatives, was going to take stock of the wedding gifts, there were suddenly thieves in the largest pavilion in the entire Yongning County. The thieves were not bystanders, they were the ones that Zicheng's greeting team met on the road before, and because of the chaos of people and horses, the thieves escaped some, and now the thieves are mad and chase them to Yongning, intending to avenge their dead brother.
So, a vicious battle began.
