Chapter 163: Your Oath
Princess Taiping got closer, looked around, and retreated, "It's okay, there are so many people!" ”
Xue Shao smiled slightly, held her face and kissed her on the forehead, "Good." ”
Princess Taiping's face turned red, and she said softly: "In this way, it seems to feel better......
Xue Shao smiled and took Princess Taiping's hand, and the two walked side by side in the imperial garden in early spring.
The spring breeze is leisurely, and the flowers in the garden are gorgeous.
Princess Taiping's mood is as sunny and brilliant as today's sunshine.
"Xue Lang, we're going to become husband and wife." Princess Taiping whispered.
Xue Shao smiled slightly, and shook Princess Taiping's little hand with a little force.
"Will you treat me well in the future?" Princess Taiping asked in a whisper.
Xue Shao stood still, moved to the opposite side of Princess Taiping to look at her, and said, "Husband and wife are the other half of each other's lives. I am doing good to you as I am doing good to myself. ”
Princess Taiping raised her head and stared at Xue Shao, her eyes facing each other. Princess Taiping smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes were curved like a crescent moon, it is true that Xue Lang likes to laugh and brag, but what he said was sincere.
Xue Shao also smiled slightly and kissed Princess Taiping's forehead.
"Xue Lang, in this life and this life, I am willing to rely on you for a long time and not abandon you!"
Xue Shao's heart throbbed, remembering the call of Li Xianyuan's divination about "marriage in the world", and also remembered An Xiaorou.
"In the previous life, we should have been together." Xue Shao stared at Princess Taiping holding her hand tightly, and said seriously with a slight frown, "In this life, we will never be separated again." If there is an afterlife...... I will still marry you. ”
"Is this your vow?"
"Yes." Xue Shao looked up at the white clouds and the sky, "Gods and men learn together!" ”
"Xue Lang......" Princess Taiping's eyes suddenly turned red, "I am willing to be your wife for the rest of my life - this is an oath!" ”
……
At lunchtime, the two saints held a banquet in the palace, and invited Xue Shao's family, Princess Taiping also accompanied him, and Li Xiaoyi also participated in the banquet.
Li Xiaoyi is a member of the royal family, his seniority is high enough and his face is big enough, so Li Zhi invited him to be a big matchmaker.
Today's banquet is the "engagement family banquet" between Xue Shao and Princess Taiping. Of course, the main wedding of the royal family's father-in-law is not something that can be counted by a few parents verbally, but also has to be solemnly decreed by the saint to announce the world, and the specific wedding ceremony and regulations must be vigorously managed by the yamen of the Zongzheng Temple of the imperial court, and it will take half a year to carry out a lot of wedding preparations.
According to the Tang Dynasty, the princess had to move out of the palace on her wedding day and no longer live in the palace from now on, and the court was responsible for building a mansion for her to live in. So as early as many days ago, Wu Zetian personally instructed the Ministry of Works, let the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Su Liangsi preside over the construction of Princess Taiping's mansion, the construction period was initially set for eight months, and the site was selected in the Imperial City Nanya only one street away, located between the West Market and Suzaku Street, extremely prosperous place - Taipingfang.
It is said that after this mansion was designed, it was modified many times under the guidance of Wu Zetian himself, and each time it became more luxurious and brilliant, and finally made Princess Taiping's mansion even more than the palace in Daming Palace. The original inhabitants in Taipingfang are still carrying out large-scale relocation, firstly, to make room for a large enough homestead for Princess Taiping's house, and secondly, people who are not noble enough cannot live in Taipingfang and be neighbors with Princess Taiping.
The two saints' doting on Princess Taiping can be seen from this.
If you want to say that Su Liangsi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, is also able to do things, and the progress of the project of Princess Taiping's Mansion is not bad. Princess Taiping's newlywed house, which was originally planned to be completed in October this year, is estimated to be completed one or two months ahead of schedule.
The two saints are quite satisfied with this.
Xue Shao added another sense of urgency to his heart...... Time is running out!
Xue Shao, the heir of Su Liang, is no stranger, he was originally Li Xian when he was still the king of Zhou before he became the prince, and he was the Sima of the Zhou Palace. After Li Xian was made the crown prince, he was naturally promoted. Su Liangsi's eldest grandson is named Su Wuxuan, and soon after Li Xian was made the crown prince, he achieved Zuo Fengchenwei's six-rank preparation, and was Xue Shao's colleague with a slightly lower rank of half a grade.
One person ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, and the people of the Su family were touched by the light of the crown prince Li Xian. However, Xue Shao did not get close to Su Wuxuan, and the Martial Arts Academy did not call him. The reason is very simple - this Li Xian, who has just been made the crown prince, is the famous green hat emperor Tang Zhongzong in history. He, like the former crown prince Li Xian, who has just been demoted from the capital, will also be Wu Zetian's "big political enemy". Li Xian didn't have much to live in the next many years, and it was not a good thing to get too close to him now.
Just like Wu Zetian "reminded" today, people must be cautious on key issues in the court. If everyone wants to please Lu, the possible result is that they are not people inside and outside, and they can't please anyone.
After the banquet, Ersheng continued to discuss marriage with the Xue couple and Li Xiaoyi, and Xue Shao and Princess Taiping had to avoid each other.
The lecture on martial arts is about to start tomorrow, and Xue Shao has never visited the most important person, Pei Xingjian. Taking advantage of this afternoon's time, Xue Shao was ready to handle this matter. Princess Taiping also had to go to personally explain Yu Hongye's business in the palace to Luo Xue Shao, and she had to prepare to go to Wu Sansi's mansion tomorrow to "go to the banquet", and both of them were busy.
Xue Shao rode out of the palace and went directly to his home, thinking that it was not strange that there were many people, and he had to pick one or two suitable meeting gifts for Pei Xingjian.
Like many doctors in the Tang Dynasty, Pei Xingjian loves calligraphy and is a master himself, and he even looks down on Chu Suiliang a little, and compares himself with Yu Shinan. Then it would be inappropriate to send him calligraphy works, and the paintings of the great painter Yan Liben, who had painted portraits of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, must have liked it.
In the past, Lantian Gongzi liked to have a lot of elegant collections, but now he is being used by Xue Shao as a favor.
Back at home, Xue Shao wanted to find the housekeeper Yuenu to help find the painting, and the servant said that Yuenu was practicing with Master Wu in the back hall, so he went to call her.
"Practice?" Xue Shao was a little curious, "There's no need to call, I'll go and see for myself." ”
In the servant room in the back hall, there is a Zen room that has been cleaned up into Wu Ming's meditation room. Before the door was closed, Xue Shao had just walked into the patio when he heard Wu Ming's voice coming from inside, "Yue Nu, have you regressed, or are you absent-minded?" ”
"Father-in-law forgives sins, I'll come again!"
"No need." Wu Ming's voice revealed some might, "If you can't even concentrate your spirit, what else is there to practice this skill?" Go back to sleep! ”
"Father-in-law's forgiveness ......" the moon slave begged for mercy in a low voice, very guilty and self-blamed.
Xue Shao stopped a little curiously.
"Say, why have you been restless in the last two days?" Wu Ming asked.
The moon slave hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Childe, it's time to get married." ”
"What's the matter with you?"
"......" Yuenu was silent for a moment again, and said hesitantly, "The princess will become a colt when he gets married, and he will move in with Princess Taiping from now on." The moon slave doesn't know ...... Go! ”
"That's not what you're talking about." Wu Ming scolded lightly, "What are you thinking?" ”
Xue Shao shook his head and smiled slightly, Yue Nu's mind has always been simple to stubbornness, what else could she think?
"The master is here?" Xue Shao deliberately raised his voice.
Wu Ming hurriedly walked out of the meditation room, hugged his fists and bowed to Xue Shao, "I don't know if the son has arrived, and I will miss the distance." ”
The moon slave also hurriedly greeted him, "Meet Childe!" ”
"It's all your own people, so you don't have to be so polite." Xue Shao smiled and walked over, "I heard the servant say that your father and daughter are practicing here, I don't know what kind of stunt it is?" ”
"Childe is interested, you might as well go inside and have a look." Wu Ming was generous, "Please!" ”
"Okay." Xue Shao was not polite, took off his shoes and walked into Wu Ming's meditation room.
The room is not very clean to spotless, and the word "Zen" hangs high in the middle of the room with a sword and wine chess, which does not seem abrupt at all.
"Childe, please take a look." Wu Ming pointed to the table, and there were a bunch of mung beans scattered in a wooden basin, "The poor monk is teaching the moon slave to practice hard, and his eyesight!" ”
"Eyesight? How to practice? Xue Shao was curious.
"Moon Slave!"
"Yes!"
The father and daughter called and answered, Wu Ming emptied the wooden basin and then grabbed another handful of mung beans in his hand, and sprinkled them into the wooden basin, and the mung beans fell into the wooden basin.
Yue Nu stared intently at the wooden basin, his eyes condensed, and after a moment, he replied, "One hundred and thirteen!" ”
Xue Shao was slightly taken aback, "Right?" ”
Wu Ming smiled and didn't answer, and used the small pieces of wood in his hand to line up the mung beans in a group of ten grains and count them carefully, just one hundred and thirteen grains, which is not bad!
"It's magical, you can count it just by looking at it!" Xue Shao was really taken aback this time.
"Childe, this is the easiest." Instead of pleasing it, the moon slave was a little ashamed, and whispered: "I can do this when I am ten years old." In the past two years, I have neglected to practice, and I have regressed a little......"
"People who practice martial arts alone will only be brave and brave, and their ears and eyes are clear, and their minds are clear, and their hearts are happy, which is the best kung fu." Wu Ming said, "Moon slave, you have indeed been wasted in the past two years. ”
Xue Shao thought it was true, although there are differences between ancient and modern times, but the truth is the same, Wu Ming's purpose of martial arts training is roughly the same as the essence of cultivating special forces in later generations - the brain is the most powerful weapon!
"Why doesn't the master show his hand?" Xue Shao said.
Wu Ming smiled, grabbed a handful of mung beans with his left hand and a handful of soybeans with his right hand and sprinkled them into the wooden basin at the same time.
"Yellow two hundred and fourteen, green two hundred and thirty-seven."
Xue Shao frowned, obviously feeling incredible.
The moon slave hurriedly started to count, she started with both hands very quickly, it was already as fast as a phantom, and quickly divided the soybean green into two stalls, and then used a small wooden chop to count it carefully, and it was not bad!
"Father-in-law, the sword is not old!" The moon slave was amazed.
Xue Shaoshen didn't change his color, but he was a little shocked in his heart - if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been absolutely hard to believe that the ancient martial artists who didn't have high-tech equipment as an aid had already cultivated their eyesight to such a realm!
"Childe, the poor monk is ugly."
Xue Shao nodded and said, "Master, your stunt is really eye-opening to me. I would like to take the liberty of asking - when the master was in the army, did he ever be a scout? ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Ming and Yue Nu were stunned at the same time!
Wu Ming has been in the Xue family for almost twelve years, and it is not a secret that he, a monk, has had experience in the army. But looking at their expressions, Xue Shaozhi said that he had guessed correctly!.
