Chapter 16 Family Affairs
Everyone sat down, Xiao Qianqian snuggled up to her father's side, pricked up her little ears, and obediently listened to her father and uncle.
After saying a few idle words, Xiao Fengxian asked Wu Zhi with a smile: "Your king Chitose knows where Xiao and others came from?" β
Wu Zhi bowed slightly.
Xiao Fengxian said again: "Your king Chitose thinks that I will wait for me? β
Wu Zhi looked at Xiao Fengxian and smiled: "Success or failure is always a matter of five or five. β
Xiao Fengxian listened to Wu Zhi's prevarication and sighed, and nodded slightly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually cold, Wu Zhi smiled: "Everyone is tired of traveling and driving, let's rest early, there are still some things in my house to say goodbye!" Saying that, he stood up, Xiao Fengxian hurriedly got up and walked to the door of the post house, and Xiao Qianqian, who followed Xiao Fengxian, said: "Uncle, you and your aunt said that Qianqian is going to accompany my father and not return home today." β
Wu Zhi nodded, Xiao Fengxian glanced at his daughter in surprise, I arrived in the southern country, why are you going back to your king's mansion? Immediately, after many years in the Southern Dynasty, I thought that my daughter had already regarded Guiwangfu as a writer.
"How many days will your king Chitose, and the king of Japan wants to visit Princess Shaoyang, I don't know if it's convenient?" Xiao Fengxian suddenly said before Wu Zhi got into the carriage.
Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Naturally, it doesn't matter, no matter when Brother Xiao comes, my brothers in your royal mansion will treat each other." "It's reasonable to be reasonable, and it's understandable for people to see Jin Zhi.
Xiao Fengxian smiled and thanked him, and waited for Wu Zhi's car to drive out of the distance, and Xiao Fengxian and his party returned to the post house.
A few days later, Xiao Fengxian led Xiao Qianqian to the Guiwang's mansion, Xiao Fengxian went to visit Jin Zhi, but Xiao Qianqian came to the bedroom of the Qiqiao Palace with a heavy heart, and Qiqiao wore a tender yellow dress. Humming a little song, sitting at the head of the bed, two snow-white little feet bare, holding a brush, intently smearing toenails.
Xiao Qianqian walked in, sat on the soft chair and watched Qiqiao in a daze, when Qiqiao was busy and didn't work much, Qiqiao put away her makeup, looked at her feet, smiled with satisfaction, turned her head to Xiao Qianqian, and said, "Qianqian, look at your aunt's feet, are they good-looking?" As he spoke, he proudly stretched out his foot to Xiao Qianqian.
Snow-white and beautiful little feet. The nails are pale red, like ten points in the snow, and the red plum is even more gorgeous. Even Xiao Qianqian couldn't help but want to kiss it gently.
"Good-looking......" Xiao Qianqian looked at the delicate foot of Qiqiao enviously.
"This is the Qionghua oil that the Xianggong gave me, isn't it?" Qiqiao looked at his little feet with satisfaction for a long time. Only then did he take the tender yellow socks next to him, put them on, and turned his head to Xiao Qianqian: "Go back, and my aunt will give you a bottle!" β
Xiao Qianqian said "En", "Thank you, auntie......"
"Why are you listless?" Qiqiao showed Xiao Qianqian's abnormal appearance.
"It's okay......" Xiao Qianqian lowered her head.
Qiqiao glared at her: "If you tell you, just say it!" What are you doing? β
Xiao Qianqian hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Daddy...... Daddy set me a family ......"
"What?" Qiqiao's voice suddenly raised and said angrily: "What kind of family? It seems to be more angry than Xiao Qianqian.
"Daddy told me that I was going to get married when I went back to the north......," Xiao Qianqian sighed, a little intimidated.
"Why did he marry you! This old fool! Qiqiao scolded Xiao Fengxian angrily, as if her cheap aunt was more qualified to take care of Xiao Qianqian's affairs than her father.
"What do you think?" Qiqiao asked Xiao Qianqian.
"Qianqian...... Qianqian didn't know ......" Xiao Qianqian saw that Qiqiao was very angry, and hung her head in a panic.
"What don't you know? Want to get married if you haven't seen it before? Aunt told you, ah, the family affairs set by the family are not ......," Qiqiao persuaded Xiao Qianqian very experienced, and after a long time, he said: "Besides, what good man do you Khitan have?" It's all furry monsters! β
Xiao Qianqian didn't dare to refute. Only cautiously said: "Qianqian saw that the candidate set by her father was not ugly......
"Then you want to marry him?" Tangram's face sank.
"No, isn't it if Qianqian wants to get married, then don't worry......" Xiao Qianqian hurriedly explained.
Qiqiao's face softened slightly: "It's almost the same, you said you saw him?" Then he is also the official accompanying him this time? β
Xiao Qianqian said: "It is he who is the commander of the accompanying guards and called Xiao Tiancheng." β
Qiqiao nodded slightly: "Xiao Tiancheng." I made a note of it. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and muttered: "This woman who dares to come and rob her husband is really looking for death!" He looked up and said to Xiao Qianqian: "Qianqian." You go back first. β
Xiao Qianqian nodded lightly, got up respectfully, and said, "Auntie." Qianqian retired. β
Xiao Qianqian walked outside, Qiqiao thought about it, and suddenly shouted with some unease: "Qianqian! β
Xiao Qianqian stopped when she heard the sound and looked back at Qiqiao.
Qiqiao smiled and said: "Qianqian, it's not that your aunt won't let you marry, but you are always your aunt's heart, and if you want to marry, you will naturally marry the best!" β
Xiao Qianqian looked at Qiqiao inexplicably.
Qiqiao smiled again: "Oh, hey, let's talk to you, my aunt thinks you can still be beautiful and virtuous, and it also fits my aunt's temper......" Maybe Qiqiao will feel that Xiao Qianqian is virtuous.
It's rare to hear Qiqiao praise herself, Xiao Qianqian smiled in her heart and said, "Thank you, aunt!" β
Qiqiao over there ignored her stubble and said to herself: "Auntie has been thinking about it for a long time, you can barely be worthy of the prime minister, oh, it's your uncle......"
"Huh?" Xiao Qianqian raised her head and grew her mouth in surprise.
"Why don't you want to? Is there anyone in the world better than your uncle? Give you a cheap return to this expression! Seeing Xiao Qianqian's expression, Qiqiao was a little unhappy.
"No...... It's not that Qianqian didn't ...... I didn't think about it...... "In Xiao Qianqian's heart, Wu Zhi is her father, just like Yan's father, she never thought that there would be anything between men and women with her "uncle".
"Do you even need to think about it?" Qiqiao's eyes widened in surprise, and it seemed that all women in the world should cheer when they heard that they could marry her.
"Even if my aunt and I are married, can I be wrong?" Qiqiao remembered that he was wise and a little proud, crossed his legs and picked up the teacup.
Xiao Qianqian's thoughts were completely confused, and she looked at Qiqiao blankly.
"Alright, alright, you go! Tell you. If you are half-hearted, I will not spare you! Qiqiao waved her hand, Xiao Qianqian walked out in a daze, originally there was something in her heart, the first thing she thought about was to talk to her aunt, who knew that when she left, she was more confused than when she came......
The Southern Dynasty was negotiated between the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Liao State and the Liao State Mission, and the Liao envoy proposed the place, of course, hoping that the Southern Dynasty could return the Liaoyang Mansion and the Dading Mansion and the twenty or thirty state capitals to which they belonged to the Liao State. But don't talk about the Southern Dynasty, even Xiao Fengxian himself knows that things are difficult to achieve, but he does his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
After more than ten days of consultations, the two sides still did not make any progress, and the Liao mission gradually became impatient, especially a few officials in the mission, who still regarded themselves as the northern kingdom in its heyday. Seeing that the Southern Dynasty was sluggish, they all muttered at the bottom and asked to return to the country with indignation.
It just so happened that this was the time. Xiao Tiancheng, the commander of the embassy's guards, didn't know how to make mistakes again and again, first a woman from the Qinglou came to the door and cried and cried, what did Xiao Tiancheng say, she didn't count, she was a Qing man, Xiao Tiancheng promised to redeem her, and then he accompanied Xiao Tiancheng one night, and was broken by him, who knew that Xiao Tiancheng slipped away early in the morning, causing her to have no face to see. After looking for a few days, Xiao Tiancheng was found, and the night she said, Xiao Tiancheng happened not to be in the post house, which made Xiao Tiancheng really reasonable, saying that she would not be invited, and that she had lost a lot of money, and finally beat her away.
Then there was a casino boss looking for him. said that Xiao Tiancheng lost in the casino and injured his eyes, and asked Xiao Tiancheng to pay for the soup and medicine. Xiao Tiancheng did stay in the gambling house for one night, which was the night the Qinglou woman said. But it's only the first time he's seen Jinhua pai, and he's been curious to play for a night, where has he hurt anyone? The casino owner clamored to report to the official, and went to pull Xiao Tiancheng, Xiao Tiancheng was angry, and he slapped him twice, and then the casino boss took the opportunity to sprinkle and cry on the ground, shouting that Xiao Fengxian couldn't look at it, and lost the money and beat the casino owner, but when the officials looked at Xiao Fengxian again, their eyes were a little weird.
Xiao Tiancheng's nightmare is not over, a few days later, when he was wandering around in Bianjing, he accidentally broke the famous antiques of other people's places, and the silver on his body was not enough, and finally put the waist card to the bitter master, and went back to the post house to get the money, who knew that after coming back, the owner had long been gone, and the next day there was a servant looking for the door, it turned out that Xiao Tiancheng's waist card appeared at the scene of a murder, Xiao Tiancheng explained bitterly, the servant just didn't listen to the loss, Xiao Tiancheng was the messenger, and finally Xiao Fengxian came forward to beat away the servant, and the official was so angry that Xiao Tiancheng vomited blood, and all the officials of the Liao State felt that Xiao Tiancheng was a disaster, and most of them began to alienate him, only Xiao Fengxian still treated him as before, making Xiao Tiancheng grateful and cryingγ
In the living room of your palace, Wu Zhi and Xiao Fengxian were talking, Xiao Fengxian came to discuss Song Liao for a few days, and this was the first time in a few days that he came to your palace to meet Wu Zhi.
As he spoke, he talked about Xiao Qianqian's head, and Xiao Fengxian smiled and said, "Do you know about the engagement of your king's thousand-year-old daughter?" β
Wu Zhileng paused: "But I don't know if this is the Northern Wang Clan?" β
Xiao Fengxian smiled: "Barely it can be regarded as a wang clan, but this king does not fancy his identity, but his talent, he has been known as a genius in the art of war since he was a child, and although he made a small disturbance, he finally survived, and now he is the best among the young generals of my dynasty!" β
"Xiao Tiancheng?" Wu Zhi said with a smile.
"Is it your king who still says he doesn't know? It seems that not only did your king already know about it, but he also found him out clearly......" Xiao Fengxian glanced at Wu Zhi meaningfully. This time, when Xiao Fengxian made Song and Wu Zhi call him brothers, it was very rare that the situation was stronger than others, and if he was still old, he felt awkward to call himself like this.
"Brother really doesn't know." Wu Zhi was strange, and he didn't know what he meant.
"Oh, since the prince doesn't know, then Xiao Wang will talk about his affairs in the past few days......" Xiao Feng saw that Wu Zhi refused to admit it and didn't say much, so he told Xiao Tiancheng about the bad luck he had encountered in the past few days.
Wu Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, this guy is too unlucky, right? But he didn't laugh out loud, only a few words of comfort Xiao Fengxian, although he had not yet married, how could he be a prospective son-in-law, and Xiao Fengxian must not be happy if he was so humiliated.
"What does the prince think of the little girl?" After talking about Xiao Tiancheng, Xiao Fengxian suddenly asked Wu Zhi.
"Qianqian is good...... Wu Zhi said with a smile. However, thinking of Xiao Tiancheng and Xiao Qianqian's marriage, Wu Zhi couldn't help frowning, Xiao Tiancheng is the one he wants to get rid of.
"Brother Xiao has a word, I know it's too abrupt, Brother Xiao, don't blame it!" Wu Zhi pondered for a while, turned his head and said to Xiao Fengxian.
Xiao Fengxian said: "Your king has something to say, but please say it clearly." β
Wu Zhi said: "Qianqian's age is also the time to talk about marriage, but the candidate still needs to be considered......" Looking up at Xiao Fengxian, he looked at him with a strange face and smiled: "Feel free to talk about it." It's just that I'm afraid that Qianqian will regret it, and Brother Xiao doesn't have to take it to heart......"
Xiao Fengxian smiled: "It's okay! Pick up the teacup and drink it, and bring the teacup to your lips. But he was stunned, showing that he had a problem in his heart that he couldn't resolve.
Wu Zhi rarely saw Xiao Fengxian feel strange when he lost his mind in front of people. It's not good to ask too much.
"Your king will want you to bear more in the future!" Xiao Fengxian suddenly turned around and said to Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi smiled: "What are these words? When have I ever treated her badly! β
Xiao Fengxian nodded and smiled: "It's me who lost my words...... But Qianqian's temper is arrogant, and I'm really a little worried......"
Wu Zhi took the opportunity to say: "It is precisely because I feel that Xiao Tiancheng is really not a good match for love, and the young man must be frivolous when he becomes famous, I am afraid that he can't stand Qianqian's temper, and my brother thinks." It's better to find a name for Qianqian! β
Xiao Fengxian smiled and glanced at Wu Zhi a few times: "It seems that your king likes Qianqian's tightness!" β
Wu Zhi smiled: "Qianqian is indeed likable!" "Is she pleasing in your heart?
Xiao Feng got up first and said, "Your king's golden and jade words Xiao Wang remembered Xiao Wang's farewell!" β
Wu Zhi got up and sent Xiao Feng out of the mansion first, and before arriving at the mansion, Xiao Feng first turned around and said: "Your king, don't send it again, it's just that Tiancheng is annoying, and your king should take care of ......it more."
Wu Zhi was stunned, why did he say it for a long time, he still didn't hear it, and he actually wanted to take care of his son-in-law by himself? If someone else is okay, but this guy will take care of him? Kindness. It is necessary to take good care of it, if it is not to take into account the relationship between the Liao and Song dynasties. I had long thought of slaughtering him, but although I can't do it now, I will definitely cut him in a few years, and then Xiao Qianqian will have to stay alive and widowed at a young age, and I really can't bear to think about it.
After Wu Zhi returned home, he was still a little unhappy, and persuaded Xiao Fengxian to say a few words, which was also for Xiao Qianqian's good, who knew that he didn't eat oil and salt, and asked himself to take care of Xiao Tiancheng, which made Wu Zhi very angry.
But after thinking about it, I laughed dumbly, who are I? People Xiao Qianqian's lifelong events, which round of their own management, such a thought, the sullenness gradually subsided, and then remembered what Xiao Fengxian said today, Wu Zhi was suddenly stunned, no, what did Xiao Fengxian mean?
The more Wu Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and then remembered that Xiao Tiancheng's encounter was not just unlucky, it was obvious that someone was manipulating him behind his back, so when he thought about it, Wu Zhi immediately thought that Xiao Fengxian thought that everything was done by himself...... Thinking of Xiao Fengxian, why do you want to take more responsibility for Xiao Qianqian in the future, Wu Zhi is funny and angry, doesn't he think he has taken a fancy to Xiao Qianqian? Thinking of his words about persuading Xiao Fengxian to reconsider marrying, didn't he sit on Xiao Fengxian's thoughts?
Wu Zhi shook his head with a wry smile, got up and walked towards the study, and ordered the guards to pass on Wu Yong.
When Wu Yong arrived at the study, Wu Zhi was looking through the ancient books, and Wu was surprised in his heart: When did the king start reading the ancient books?
"Come and sit down!" Wu Yong saw the salute, and Wu Zhi pointed to the chair opposite.
Wu Zhi put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "Is there any news from Lu Cheng?" β
Wu Yong said: "This is not since Miss Yan changed her residence, Cai Jiu seems to be suspicious, seeing that Lu Cheng's time is short, and he is still secretly investigating Lu Cheng's origins. β
Wu Zhi said: "Don't be found by him to go to Yanggu!" β
Wu Yong said with a smile: "That's not it, Lu Cheng is a native of Bianjing, and many people watch him grow up......."
Wu Zhi smiled and said: "That's good, Cai Jiu, this kid is a little clever, don't be found out by him!" After looking at Wu a few times, he said lightly: "You don't have anything to say to me?" β
Wu Yong looked at Wu Zhi's face and smiled: "The prince finally knows?" β
Wu Zhi nodded.
Wu Yong said: "The villain thinks that the princess just wants to play tricks on that barbarian, and it is harmless, so she didn't tell the prince." β
Wu Zhi looked at Wu Yong and shook his head, Wu Yong was full of tricks, but he was afraid of death, Qiqiao looked at Wu Yong in Shandong, and then after accepting Wu Yong as a subordinate, Qiqiao saw Wu Yong for the first time, and cut off his beard with a sword, and Wu Yong was almost depressed to death, but he liked those long hairs very much, but he didn't dare to do anything with Qiqiao, and then Qiqiao teased him a few times, he only had to avoid, how he didn't dare to find a way to deal with the princess.
And this time, presumably Qiqiao found him to help, Wu Yong saw that the matter was not big, at most, he was scolded by Wu Zhi for a few words, so he was relieved to please Qiqiao, so as not to make trouble with the princess and himself.
"Forget it this time, don't mess around with her in the future, and Xiao Tiancheng's matter, just let it go!" Sure enough, as Wu Yong expected, Wu Zhi didn't blame him much, and he said a few words to let Wu Yong retreat.
Just when the Liao delegation was preparing to return a few days later, there was a sudden shocking news in the north, Yeluyue, the king of Lu of Liao, suddenly hung his seal and disappeared, this news is really amazing, Yeluchun can be said to be hot in Liao, he is the first celebrity in front of the Liao Emperor, and he is in charge of most of the military horses of the Liao State, and the governor of the Jin State has left quietly, leaving only a letter to the Liao Emperor, which immediately caused an uproar.
In order to compete for the two positions of the privy envoy of the Northern Court and the king of the Northern Court, the Khitan nobles immediately fell into a fierce battle, and the battle in the temple even affected the remaining state capital of the Liao State, and because of Yelu Yue's departure, the Liao army was even more disheartened, but at this time, the Khitan nobles had already fought for the red eyes, how could they care about anything else?
The Jurchen has been forced to a corner of the Yellow Dragon by his allies, and the external troubles are gone, coupled with the huge power lure, the suppressed contradictions between the Khitan nobles immediately provoked, and evolved to not only because Yelu Yue left the power, but also because many nobles liquidated the nobles who previously supported Yelu Chun, because the Jurchen pressed the realm for the overall situation, Ye Lu Chun became the emperor, and the Liao Emperor did not punish those nobles who supported Ye Lu Chun before, but now the flame can no longer be suppressed together, all the nobles who are not Ye Lu Chun's family are eyeing the property of Ye Lu Chun's nobles, and the power begins to unite to turn over old accounts, Ye Lu Chun's family, some of them fight back, and some quietly flee from Beijingγ Shangjing can only be described as wind and rain now.
When the news of Yeluyue's resignation reached Bianjing, Xiao Fengxian was taken aback, and even regretted it a lot, although he stayed away from Shangjing, he hid from right and wrong, but he was a group of dragons, and he must have suffered the boss's loss in this big liquidation, Xiao Fengxian hated it, why did Yeluyue not resign sooner or later, but when he was envoy to the Southern Dynasty, he resigned?
But regret is useless, although I know that when I arrive in Shangjing, the daylily will be cold, but I still hurriedly packed up and prepared to leave Bianjing.
In the bedroom of Jin Zhi in the palace of the noble king, under the red candlelight and candlelight, Jin Zhi wore loose snow-white clothes, and wore a golden ring on each of his hands and feet, which made his feet as slender as snow and his hands as jade.
Jin Zhi lay lazily in Wu Zhi's arms, one hand gently drew a circle on Wu Zhi's chest, Wu Zhi grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and touched the golden ring on her wrist with the other hand, and smiled: "This is sent by my father-in-law?" β
Jin Zhi nodded and said gently: "It was sent by my father when I was in the northern country, and my father mentioned that my father wanted to ask him about his resignation, right?" β
Wu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, why did Uncle Yue resign?" I can't figure it out......"
Jin Zhi said: "Didn't Xiang Gong think that Jin Zhi said that he moved his father?" β
Wu Zhi smiled: "Uncle Yue is not something you can say. "Fang La's desire for power is extremely strong, how can Jin Zhi be persuaded by a few letters?
