Southern Tang Jingshi.

At this moment, in the Zhou Mansion, the servants and maids are busy sorting out their outfits, as the envoy to the Song Court, Zhou Zong can be said to be a heavy responsibility, not only to congratulate the Song Court on the ceremony, but also to deal with the marriage between the Song and Tang dynasties to a successful conclusion, which can not damage the face of the court, let alone give people a handle.

In order to come up with a proper way to deal with it, the itinerary has been delayed again and again, and if you don't start today, you will miss the Song Dynasty's post-sealing ceremony.

"The boy has seen Daddy." Zhou Wei, who was dressed in an emerald green lake dress, as soon as she entered the hall, she saw Zhou Zong sitting on the stool in the hall and frowned, and immediately squatted down to salute.

"Oh, it's Vier." Zhou Zong heard the sound of greeting, opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and saw Zhou Wei greeting him.

"Daddy, are you going to leave for the Song Dynasty today?" Zhou Wei got up and stepped forward to Zhou Zong and asked softly.

"Yes, it has been delayed for a long time, and if you don't set off, I'm afraid you won't be able to participate in the Song Court's post-sealing ceremony." Zhou Zong looked at Zhou Wei who was approaching with loving eyes and said.

"Daddy, it is rumored that you will go to the Song Court this time, and you will give it to the child........ Finger marriage, yes? Zhou Wei bowed her head slightly, and said with a blushing face.

Zhou Zong smiled bitterly, raised his hand slightly, smoothed the hair between Zhou Wei's foreheads, and asked, "Do you know who the Song court wants to marry you?" ”

"I heard that the child is a mountain village man named Wen Qihang." Zhou Wei bit her red lip and said.

The ancients all married and had children at an early age, although Zhou Wei is only ten years old this year, but most families have already set up a family affair at this age, and they will get married after only a few years. Especially the ladies of the family, at this age, they began to study female red, ready to make their own dowry, and the marriage between the Song and Tang dynasties has long been spread all over the world, as a direct party, I have heard the people in the house mention it countless times.

Naturally, I have an intuitive understanding of the object of marriage.

Zhou Zong sighed: "It's actually true to say that he is a mountain villager, but this mountain village is not simple!" Less than a year after joining the WTO, he was awarded the title of baron, and the Song court quelled the rebellion twice, and it was even more featherful, and after the crown, the Song court will reuse this son.

And the poems and essays are even more appreciated by Yan Wen Tingyan everyone, being a father is a careless move, and he suffers a big loss........"

As long as he remembered the last time he went to Yangzhou, Zhou Zong lamented more than once, stealing chickens and rice, losing his wife and breaking his troops, he wanted to use Wen Qihang to force the Song Dynasty to withdraw his troops, but he didn't expect to be heard that Qi Hang would plan it, which put the court in a dilemma.

Now that I think about it carefully, as long as I can attend the banquet safely at that time, and I don't have to do anything, the Song court will withdraw the army, but now this extra move has made Li Tang fall into passivity.

"Daddy, Song Ting is too far away, and the child is reluctant to leave you, can you refuse this marriage?" Zhou Wei looked at Zhou Zong and asked hopefully.

"Daddy, do your best." Zhou Zong said with relief.

If it weren't for the Song court's deception too much, if the object of the marriage was only Zhou Wei, then this matter could be said to be a must-do, for the long-term peace and stability of the two countries, personal interests can be said to be insignificant, but now the Song court is asking for more than Zhou Wei alone, but also his sister Zhou Qiang, which makes the established things have great variables.

"The child has seen his father." Outside the hall, a beautiful woman dressed in goose-yellow palace clothes walked slowly into the hall, squatting slightly and saluting Zhou Zongshi.

Zhou Zong hurriedly got up and saluted: "Weichen has seen the crown princess. ”

"I've seen my sister." Zhou Wei shouted with joy on her face, and immediately trotted a few steps, came to the palace beauty, and grabbed one of her lotus arms.

"Father, please be seated."

The palace beauty who entered the hall was Zhou Qiang, the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now Li Yu was only the prince and had not ascended the throne, so her current identity was only the crown princess, but just this identity was already much higher than Zhou Zong. Zhou Zong naturally wants to salute him, even if it is just about family life, then he must bow first and then love.

After Zhou Zong sat down, he looked at Zhou Qiang and asked, "Is there something wrong with Qiang'er coming to the house?" ”

Zhou Qiang also sat down on the side and replied: "Father, I am going to send an envoy to the Song Court today, thousands of miles away, I am afraid that I will not be able to see each other for a long time, and the child is here to see off my father today." ”

"Qiang'er, you have a heart." Zhou Zong reluctantly showed a smile and said.

"This envoy to the Song Dynasty is different from the past, Father, do you have a perfect strategy?" Zhou Qiang asked worriedly.

Zhou Zong sighed and said: "This time the marriage between the Song and Tang dynasties, the officials of the court and the central government have been discussing for more than half a month, and they have not come up with a foolproof plan. The lord of the country hopes that his father can respond on the spot, observe the attitude of the Song court, and then make a decision on the spot. ”

"Sister, Song Ting deceived people too much, then Wen Qihang is a mountain village man, and he wants to marry our two sisters, it's just a toad who wants to eat swan meat, sister, you are a beautiful country, how can you be a mountain village husband, you can covet it." Zhou Wei snorted lightly.

Zhou Wei is only ten years old this year, and Zhou Qiang is twenty-four years old this year, and the two sisters are fourteen years apart, which is the age difference between mother and daughter in ancient times, and the biological mother of the two sisters died soon after giving birth to Zhou Wei.

Zhou Wei can be said to be brought up by Zhou Qiang after the big Zhou, and between the two sisters, there is not only sisterhood, but also a mother-daughter relationship, so the relationship between the two sisters has always been very good, which is why Zhou Wei is more casual than Zhou Zong in front of her sister.

"Sisters marry together, that's what Emperor Song meant, not Wen Qihang. If I only marry you, sister, I think this is a beautiful thing, and I have heard a little about it, not only is it both civil and military, but it is also less than a weak crown, and it has been knighted, if the two of you can tie the knot, it is also a match made in heaven. Zhou Qiang smiled.

Zhou Wei pouted and said, "Sister, what's so good about smelling that wild man?" How can you speak for him, is it that you have a spring heart? This is absolutely not possible, you are the crown princess now! ”

"Nonsense!" Zhou Qiang lightly raised her jade hand and knocked on Zhou Wei's little head and said: "Don't say that sister, I am now Li Tang's crown princess, even if Yun Ying is not married, my sister is a full eight years older than Wen Qihang, how can she become the head of the mansion."

Now it seems that the two of you are a bit of the right age. ”

"Daddy, look, sister, she teased me." Zhou Wei shook Zhou Zong's arm and didn't follow the way.

"Wei'er, don't make trouble, for my father, I want to ask you seriously, do you have the intention of marrying and smelling Qihang?" Zhou Zong said with a serious expression.

"No, I don't want to leave my father and sister." Zhou Wei said immediately.

"Little sister, isn't the husband you have always wanted is the kind of civil and military that smells like sailing? Why did you change your mind now? You must know that there are not many young men who can surpass Wen Qihang in the world now, and they have not yet married.

Sister remembers, you seem to like the "Qingyu Case: Yuan Xi" written by him!

The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and when they looked back, the man was in the dim light.

Remember shouting when you dreamed at night! Zhou Qiang laughed.

"Sister, you hate it, so I don't want to marry that monkey." Zhou Wei blushed and finished speaking, and trotted out of the hall.

Looking at Zhou Wei, who ran out of the hall, Zhou Qiang said sadly: "Father, has the lord of the country decided to marry Wei'er and Song Ting?" ”

Zhou Zong sighed and said: "Sisters marry together, the court will definitely not allow it, your current identity is the crown princess after all, it is a matter of the face of the country, but Wei'er doesn't even have a marriage contract now, the meaning of the court is that he hopes that his father can persuade the Song court to allow Wen Qihang to marry only Wei'er this time, so as to ensure that the generations of the Song and Tang dynasties will always be good." ”

"I tested Wei'er with words just now, and I saw that she was not too opposed to this matter, so you don't have to be too sad, father." Zhou Qiang said with relief.

"It's just wronged Wei'er." Zhou Zong sighed lightly.

"Although Song Ting's Wen Qihang started from recklessness, he is also a rare young talent in the world, and he is suitable for Wei'er, but I am afraid that Song Huangzhi is not here.

Father, this mission is bound to have many twists and turns. Zhou Qiang said worriedly.

"Qiang'er, your worries are not unreasonable, but now that the arrow is on the bow, you have to send it, and you can only see the opportunity to act for your father." Zhou Zong said helplessly.
