Chapter 246: Goodbye
After a short stop at Weiguo, Mingyue continued to travel through the night, catching up with the large army, and arrived in Linzi in mid-July.
Marriage in the Warring States Period, there are generally six procedures for acceptance, asking for names, Najib, recruitment, invitation and personal welcome, and the previous five, Empress Dowager Zhao, who has her own man's parents, sent someone to handle it, but this personal welcome is the only one, which has to be done by the prospective groom himself. Although there are often monarchs and sons in the countries who do not greet them in person and let their brothers and uncles do the work for them, Mingyue still insists on coming to Zizi in person.
In this era, the etiquette is not as strict as after the Han Dynasty, before the day of the greeting, Mingyue also bribed Hou Sheng to persuade the queen to let him enter the Qi palace and meet Tian Jia alone - the queen is not the king of Qi Xiang, and there is still a little bit of Qi Guo's guilt for Tian Dan in his heart, and he has decided to let Tian Jia leave, and he is not too difficult in these little things.
It's no wonder that after Mingyue saw the regent queen mother, she secretly said in her heart: "This queen is more monarchical than King Qi Xiang, but unfortunately she pursues a strategy of making friends with many parties and making good friends with all princes. ”
Mingyue had worked hard in Qi for more than half a year before, and the only diplomatic achievement left was that Qi Yan had returned to the state of border confrontation again, as long as they contained each other, this would undoubtedly be beneficial to Zhao State.
In this way, he entered the palace room of Qi under the guidance of Yousi, met Tian Jia through the curtain, and said a few words.
I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and the two can't help but share some of them, plus there are Fu Mu and Yousi staring at each other in the back, so the initial conversation between the two is a bit one-sided, Mingyue asked her if she has lost a lot, and Tian Jia greeted Tian Dan how he is in Handan......
"An Pingjun has been a little depressed lately......"
Mentioning Tian Dan, Mingyue sighed, he, the quasi-father-in-law, was the great savior of the Qi country, but in the end, he was suspicious and rejected by the king of Qi, as if he was a rebel minister who caused trouble and had bad intentions. Tian Dan was a little sad and angry at first, and then he was discouraged, and after stepping down as Zhao Xiang, he began to close the door and drink all day to kill his sorrows.
Mingyue went to ask Tian Dan if he had anything to tell Tian Jia's sister, but Tian Dan didn't say anything, just pulled him and said such a sentence when he sent Mingyue out of the mansion......
"I kind of understand Le Yi's situation back then!"
In a few words, the veteran is sad, Tian Dan is now like a horse who has made great achievements on the battlefield, but was finally driven out of the stable to fend for himself.
Not to mention, next to his mansion is Le Yi's old mansion......
"A good writer doesn't have to be a good writer, and a good beginning doesn't have to end well...... Father for Qi Guo's life, but he never thought about his destination, but he was in a foreign country...... "Listening to his father's recent situation, Tian Jia's eyes are already red, but these emotions can only be thought of in his heart, in the case of the wall has ears, it is absolutely impossible to complain!"
She was sad in the curtain, and Mingyue could see it clearly from the outside, although keeping filial piety for King Qixiang was just an expedient measure for Tian Jia to delay time at that time, but she also had to do enough, so she was still wearing a white filial piety dress.
The woman wants to be filial piety, under the curtain half covered and half hidden, the girl inside looks even more handsome and beautiful, pure and moving, which makes people's hearts itch, if it weren't for someone staring behind her, Mingyue even wanted to open the curtain, look at her bright teeth and bright eyes, take her in her arms, and comfort her softly......
Although it can't be expressed in words, the two of them are people who have experienced life and death assassination, and there is still some tacit understanding, Mingyue immediately said: "But An Pingjun heard that I was going to come to greet him, he cheered up a little, and smashed all the wine vessels, I think he will be relieved when you arrive in Handan." ”
Mingyue doesn't remember Tian Dan's year of birth and death, only that he has disappeared before and after Changping, and I don't know if he is depressed or has passed away......
Empress Dowager Zhao, Zhao Hao, Tian Dan, the lives of these elders are gradually withering, although he has changed some history, but he cannot reverse the fate of birth, old age, sickness and death, they may all wither before the arrival of Changping, which is also the reason why Mingyue is anxious.
At this moment, Yousi, who was staring at the two of them behind him, coughed lightly and reminded: "Chang'anjun, it's been half an hour." ”
Mingyue didn't expect time to pass so quickly, so she had to get up helplessly, and saluted the girl in the curtain: "It's time for me to say goodbye, after today, according to etiquette, you and I will not meet or talk until we meet on the road......"
Tian Jia also felt that time passed so quickly, and she was a little reluctant, but there was something wrong with Chang'anjun's words, she said: "On the way to greet you, you can't talk until you ......"
She blushed, did not say the words "together" and "cave room", and then thought that the son in front of her would soon become her husband, and she was going to marry a strange country, so she was even more nervous for no reason.
Mingyue seemed to feel her nervousness, turned her head to look at Youji who looked restrained behind her, and said with a smile: "Those Confucian scholars who are dictating etiquette, can they get on the carriage?" When the time comes, you and I will have time to talk to each other. ”
Youji was still expressionless, but Mingyue's words made Tian Jia no longer panic, and she said jokingly: "The so-called personal welcome, the gentleman is going to drive in person, and I hope that the gentleman will practice the art of the emperor more, and don't let the horse get off the leash at that time." ”
She was laughing at Chang'an Jun's imperial skills were not very good, and the two once made an appointment to go to Jixia, and Mingyue saw that the weather was good, so she grabbed the eight bridles of the emperor and tried to drive, but almost overturned the carriage into the ditch on the side of the road.
As a descendant of Zhao Zao's father, this kind of poor driving skills is really shameful.
Mingyue was also not polite, and said in color: "On the way here, I heard a story in Weiguo." ”
At this point, he paused, turned around and asked Youji, "Can you let me finish this matter?" ”
Yousi was helpless, the pair of sons and daughters ignored his existence, said some code words to each other that they could only understand, and flirted and scolded, but he was just ordered to monitor to see if the two were dissatisfied with the royal family, and the rest of the things couldn't be taken care of.
With the approval of Youji, Mingyue continued to tell the story.
"When the bride got into the chariot, she pointed to the horses pulling the cart and asked, 'Whose horse is it?' The Emperor replied, 'Borrow it'. The bride said, 'Steer the horse, and don't flog the horse.' When the car arrived at the door of the bridegroom's house, Fu Mu helped the bride get out of the car, and after stepping over the charcoal basin, the bride said, "Remember to extinguish the stove to prevent fire." When he entered the new house, he saw the mortar of the rice and said, "By the window of migration, do not disturb the people who come and go." 'The master laughed......"
He originally said this as a joke, but Tian Jia couldn't laugh, but said with a little humility: "The words that the bride said these few times are all to the point, but they can't help but be laughed at by the master, this is because the bride just passed the door, and she said this, which is too early......"
She bowed her head respectfully in the curtain: "Don't worry, Childe, I won't talk nonsense and make Childe make a fool of myself." ”
Looking at her bride's nervous look, Mingyue felt funny: "I know." He turned around and said: "I mean, this personal welcome, everything is arranged by me, you don't have to worry, you just need to look forward to going to Handan, goodbye An Pingjun, you marry me, not from one cage to another, but to fly into an open world." ”
This was said intimately, Tian Jia's heart warmed, and she made a curtsy salute: "Treat the concubine as a concubine!" ”
The two Yousi were embarrassed to hear it, and began to stare at it again, coughing constantly, Mingyue also had to leave, he looked at the time outside, and then looked back at the girl in the curtain, and said: "That is the case, then I will leave, it is still early today, I am in Linzi City, and there is one more thing to do." ”
"What does Childe want to do?" Tian Jia was reluctant.
Mingyue smiled: "I want to apprentice!" ”
