Chapter Twenty-Five: The Gossip Girl He Si I
Ashina Xiaoyun hurriedly bolted his boudoir, and then quickly took off the red deer boots on his feet, jumped up, and threw himself on his embroidery bed.
She buried herself in the quilt, completely ignoring the maids and maids who shouted anxiously outside the door: "County gentleman! County Jun! There are still guests waiting outside! The lady tells you to go out right away! ”
"I'm not going! I don't go with guests anymore! Go and talk to your mother, and say I'm sick! ”
Ashina Xiaoyun is so annoyed now! Since the arrival of the edict of the saint enshrined himself as the king of Suye County on the twelfth day of the first month, the entire Tingzhou City has become turbulent, and all kinds of rumors have been boiling, making Ashina Xiaoyun more and more annoyed the more he listens to it.
Those people with broken mouths said that when they went out to fight against the Turks before, the top and bottom of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate did not take this expedition seriously, and the most obvious manifestation was that Zhang Daobin, the supervising army, actually did not go out with the army under the pretext of illness, but just let a little yellow gate go with the army.
After all, this is not the first time that the Beiting army has attacked the Turgish, since the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Anxi and Beiting have repeatedly attacked the Turgish Khanate, which is increasingly untamed by the Heavenly Khan.
Each expedition was victorious, but it failed to destroy the Turgish Khanate. When the saints and the government hall talked about the rewards for meritorious deeds, they were just step-by-step, and there was no special reward.
When everyone still looked at this expedition with such thoughts, they didn't expect that Wang Duhu would actually finish his work in one battle, recover Broken Leaf City in one battle, trap and kill the Khan, and occasionally get a heavenly horse on the way back to the army.
In order to highlight the loyalty of the people in the North Court to the saint, Wang Duhu broke the convention and arranged for Ashina to serve as the envoy of the Beiting Dynasty, go to Beijing to participate in the Yuan Dynasty meeting, and present the heavenly horse.
Ashina's deputy capital protector did not disgrace his mission, and made painstaking arrangements in Chang'an, so that Tianma galloped on the square in front of Hanyuan Palace, like a dragon, and made the sage Longyan happy.
The saint dragon heart was pleased, and this reward was extraordinarily heavy. Not to mention that Wang Duhu, Judge Du, General Li Bei, Ma Teamzheng and others who led the army on the expedition all had generous rewards, and even Ashina's deputy capital protector and Gao Changshi, who had never gone on the expedition, also had their own rewards.
What's even more peculiar is that the sage actually enshrined the eldest daughter of Ashina's deputy protector as the county monarch. You must know that this is not an ordinary reward, it is simply necessary to treat the eldest daughter of Ashina's deputy protector as the daughter of the clan.
Of course, everyone knows that Ashina's lady is a genuine clan, and it is said that according to the pedigree on the jade, Mrs. Li may still be the distant aunt of the saint.
But no matter what, the Emperor of the Imperial County is still shocking! Some people also swore that the eldest daughter of Ashina's deputy protector would definitely be crowned the county lord!
Some people also say that this is a precursor to Ashina's deputy protector to be reused by the saint, maybe after Ashina's deputy protector returns from the capital, he will replace Wang Duhu and become the envoy of the Beiting Festival!
In short, all kinds of unreliable gossip and rumors are flying all over the sky, making Ashina Xiaoyun the center of the whirlpool, which makes her particularly disgusted and angry.
Ashina Xiaoyun's previous life was very quiet and comfortable, nothing more than taking his sister Wenxia and younger brother Ji Ang to Wang Duhu's house in the morning, reading some poetry and books with Wang Fei and Wang Fei, and then accompanying his sister and Wang Fei to practice the piano and learn to dance.
In the afternoon, you can freely change into men's clothes, ride your beloved Bai Lian horse, and wander around the city of Tingzhou.
Ashina Xiaoyun is especially fond of hunting, on a crisp autumn day, follow his father, take eagle slaves and lynxes, and go to the woods outside Tingzhou City, grassland to chase hares and sika deer, is the happiest day for Ashina Xiaoyun.
In addition to hunting, Ashina Xiaoyun also likes to play polo. She just likes the excitement of playing polo, and the excitement and happiness of galloping and scoring a ball into the hole!
However, she has had fewer opportunities to play polo recently, firstly, Bai Lian Ju, as a foal that has not yet grown up, has not yet reached the peak of strength and speed, so she cannot participate in the polo matches of adults, and the polo matches of teenagers are relatively rare; Second, because polo cues are mostly made for adult male polo players, there are relatively few that meet her height and strength requirements.
Although Ashinayang had asked craftsmen to make her many polo cues before, because she was in the stage of growing up quickly, the previous polo cues were not very suitable.
Since preparing for the expedition to the Turkish, Ashina Yang has been busy with military affairs, and he can't care about making new polo cues for her for a while, so Ashina Xiaoyun hasn't played polo much recently.
Even so, whenever she has the opportunity, she will go up and fight. Sometimes, Wang Fei and others will be organized to play polo with her.
She especially can't stand the ladies who ride a little donkey to play polo, pretending, twisting and pinching, the slow speed is really embarrassing, where else is this polo, it's obviously a "donkey ball"!
However, since becoming the center of gossip, Ashina Xiaoyun is a little afraid to go out on the street. I always feel that someone behind me is talking to each other, pointing at her! This made her feel uncomfortable, and despite the hood on her head that concealed her face, she still felt completely exposed to people's eyes.
What's even more annoying is that I can't be clean at home. Many noble ladies came to the house and appointed to see them. Mother is not rude, just ask herself to come out to accompany the guests.
Those noble ladies are just taking the opportunity to talk and look at themselves a few more times, and observe them carefully in the open and in the dark; And the more straightforward and vulgar ones are eager to see themselves inside and out immediately, so they sent their little Langjun to shoot down a wild goose and send it to their own house to start collecting gifts directly.
Ashina Xiaoyun is already 12 years old, and in her mother's repeated teachings, she knows that she is from a noble background, and she also understands that countless noble ladies in Tingzhou City who have a small Langjun are staring at her closely.
But she thought that she would be able to get away with it for a few more days, and wait until the end of her life to think about this headache.
In fact, there is nothing to think about, the words of the parents' matchmakers, from the princess to the concubine, are no exception.
The only thing that can be greater than the life of the parents is the will of the saints. If it weren't for the will of the saint, a daughter of a clan like her mother would definitely not choose her father, who grew up in the Western Regions.
Thinking of the sage's will, Ashina sat up from the bed and began to ponder the fact that he had been named the county king.
A few days ago, I was only irritable and disgusted, Ashina Xiaoyun really didn't think about this matter carefully, and she was originally a person who didn't like to dig out her mind and think carefully, in this regard, Wang Fei and her were very similar.
On the contrary, it is his sister Ashina Wenxia, who is not old and does not speak much, but she can often say something unexpected.
Although Ashina Xiaoyun has a bit of a big personality, he is not stupid. After a little thought, I noticed that something was wrong.
She remembered that when she accompanied her father out hunting two years ago, he often told herself some stories about the Western Turkic Khanate, and also talked about the story of Zhaojun's departure from the Sai and the marriage of the two princesses Wencheng and Jincheng to Tibet.
At that time, her mind was on calling for eagles and beasts, and she only regarded these as her father's knowledge to her. But now that there is a sudden matter of the county monarch, Ashina Xiaoyun faintly feels that there seems to be a deep meaning in his father's previous words.
Is it true that you want to let yourself go to kiss? Ashina Xiaoyun suddenly felt a spirit, and he didn't care about putting on his boots, so he paced back and forth in the room.
But you're still young, huh? There doesn't seem to be anything worth kissing at the moment, huh? Ashina Xiaoyun walked back and forth a few times, but still didn't come up with a reason.
Besides, how can anyone let the county lord go to make peace, how can he be a county lord, right? This little county gentleman is not qualified to be friendly.
Perhaps the rumor is right, and enshrined himself as a sign that the saint is ready to reuse his father. But if my father wants to be reused, will he still live in Tingzhou?
Ashina Xiaoyun already likes Shangtingzhou, and he is really reluctant to leave. Moreover, if his father really wants to be promoted, there are only three possibilities: to be promoted to the Beiting Festival, to other provinces or to enter Beijing.
But no matter which possibility it is, it is very likely that he will be separated from Wang Fei. Thinking of the possible parting, Ashina Xiaoyun suddenly felt a little sad.
"Sister, open the door!" The sound of the maids banging on the door had not stopped, and the timid voice of his younger brother Ashina was heard again.
"Brother, what are you doing here! Let's go and play with Wang Fei! Don't bother me! "Ashina Xiaoyun is very unkind to his younger brother!
"Eldest sister, I'm here to tell you, come out quickly. Otherwise, the mother will come up in person! Ashina Ji Ang shouted in a low voice outside the door.
"Alas, my stupid brother! There are so many people out there, whether your voice is high or low, my mother will know that you came to tell me! "Ashina Xiaoyun is really helpless about his brother's cute stupidity.
Listening to his younger brother's voice, Ashina Xiaoyun suddenly remembered Xiao Langjun of the royal capital family.
This Xiao Langjun is basically the same age as his younger brother, and the two of them didn't seem to be much different before, but after following Wang Duhu back from Broken Leaves this time, it seems that those places are different?
Anyway, it feels like there are a lot more things in his eyes, as if he has grown up overnight. And his younger brother is still that simple, and he was suddenly compared to Xiao Langjun of the Wang family.
There is also the new commando Shi maid of the royal family, who is not very old, but she is well-founded and articulate.
Compared with the two of them, his younger brother is simply a bird's nest to a bird, too unsuccessful!
Although the younger brother is not successful, he is his own family after all, and it seems that he will urge his younger brother to be angry more in the future.
Listening to Wang Fei, Wang Fei now practices riding and archery, swordsmanship, and fists and feet every day, and gets up early in the morning every day to practice hard. He is also very attentive to poetry and writing, and often has some amazing insights, which makes Judge Du admire.
"Oh, why do you keep thinking of that Wang Fei!" Ashina Xiaoyun muttered to himself. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind: "I understand, I want to ride his little red horse!" ”
On the way to the class, Wang Duhu not only captured the Pegasus, but also obtained hundreds of good horses. Among them is a little red horse, which is similar to his own white horse, but much more powerful.
In fact, Ashina's white horse is also one of the best horses in a hundred, and it was brought by Sogdian merchants from Shiguo Tuozhi City.
The location of Shiguo is Dawan in the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty twice sent Li Guangli, the general of the second division, to the west to conquer Dawan, just for Dawan's BMW.
As everyone knows, the land of Zhaowu is rich in BMWs, and the horses of the stone country are even more unbeatable. Bai Lianju, as a rare horse in the Shiguo horse market, is naturally expensive.
The Sogdian merchants were originally going to bring Bai Lianju to Chang'an, but in the end, his father personally intervened, and it took 150 times to bring Bai Lianju home.
You must know that an ordinary Turkic war horse is only about 20 yuan, a Persian camel is only about 30 yuan, and a foal 150 is definitely a sky-high price.
Rao is like this, and the Sogdian merchants keep muttering that if it weren't for Ashina's love for the care of the past, he would not have sold it anyway.
If Bai Lianju is transported to Chang'an, the high price of 500 guan will also be sold! Anyway, there are rich people in Chang'an City who don't know how to spend their money.
But even if Bai Lianju is so good, it is still not as good as the little red horse, whether it is the speed of sprinting or the endurance of running, the little red horse can be a line higher than Bai Lianju.
Bai Lianju currently has only two places that are slightly better, one is a gentle temperament, and the other is a handsome name. Xiao Langjun of the Wang family has not given his little red horse a good name until now, so everyone has to call it "Little Red Horse" now.
Ashina Xiaoyun loves good horses, although he is always unconvinced that the little red horse is a white horse, but he actually likes it in his heart.
Originally, she was still trying her best to name the little red horse, but as soon as the troublesome matter of the county monarch came, Ashina Xiaoyun also left the name behind her.
