It has been some time since leaving Shangqiu, a group of people rushed during the day, rested in the cities along the way at night, after Pingqiu was Puyi, and after crossing Pushui to Wayi, these cities that originally belonged to the country are now hanging with the banner of the Zhao family.

This is a romantic story that even the conquered patriots are willing to relish: in order to marry the beautiful bride of the Song Kingdom, the general Zhao Wuxian of the Lu State mobilized his countrymen and allies to attack the Wei Kingdom, uprooting the cities along the way, and paving a road to the ancestral temple of the Jin State.

But in Kong Jiao's view, there are not only flowers blooming in the spring, but also the bones of the dead who fell on the side of the road.

She lowered the curtain of the car window and looked back at Le Lingzi, who was silently reading medical books and jotting down a few strokes on paper from time to time, both envious and admiring.

On the first day of Shangqiu's personal greeting, Le Lingzi explained his mind to Kong Jiao straight to the point, and after having the special relationship between his wife and wife, Kong Jiao's nervous mood was also relieved, and he often said something between the journey.

Generally speaking, it was Le Lingzi who asked and Kong Jiao answered.

For example, in the Song Kingdom, are you still used to living these days? Do you still like Songdi food? Do you miss your family? Since you are the daughter of Lu Guowenren, what education have you received on weekdays, and what books have you read? The two gradually became familiar with each other, and the topic gradually deepened.

In the end, Kong Jiao couldn't help but ask, what kind of person is General Zhao they are going to marry?

Le Lingzi just smiled and said lightly: "He, he has the world in mind, but his heart is like a child, after getting along for a long time, you can naturally understand." ”

So in the end, Kong Jiao is like a transparent person in Le Lingzi's eyes. But she didn't know much about this lady in the main room, and she didn't know anything about Zhao Wuxian. It's like seeing flowers in the fog.

However, this does not prevent her from admiring Le Lingzi like a surging river.

When people married wives, they paid attention to "women's obedience", the so-called women's obedience. The first is to be obedient to the aunt, the second is to live in harmony with the other women in the family, and then to satisfy the husband. But the world is full of jealousy, and there are many wives in the main room who bully the concubines and their heirs, and Kong Jiao knows that her grandmother, the daughter of the Yan family, is jealous of the eldest woman of the Kong family, so she can only take her father to live separately.

But in this respect, Le Lingzi's performance can be called perfect, after leaving Daiyi in the Song Kingdom. General Zhao's eldest son, who had just been born for half a year, had symptoms of fever, and there was no city in front of him and no cottage in the future, and everyone was in a hurry.

After leaving the Song Kingdom, Le Lingzi also sent someone over to greet him once in the morning and once in the evening, asking, "Does Aman's fever have a recurrence?" ”

Whenever this happens. General Zhao's concubine Bo Mi would hold the child and come to the car to thank him in fear.

Le Lingzi treated the pink-carved baby as if he were his own, and held it in his arms lovingly, even if he was doused by the boy's urine, he was not angry. He also carefully instructed Bo Mi and Zhong Fu Mu on the method of parenting.

She said solemnly: "Pregnancy and childbirth in October is the saddest level for women like us, and three out of ten people die. But the baby born is also weak. It is easy to be virtual and solid, easy to be cold and hot. Therefore, there are countless people who die before the age of age, so you must be careful! ”

"It's February now. Therefore, do not wear too warm, otherwise it will not only be unprofitable but harmful. I know you love this son, but remember not to overeat, the number of breastfeeding and the length of time to grasp the number, along the way more than a thousand soldiers and horses, livestock neighing, be careful of the shock and sound insulation of the carriage, so as not to frighten him......"

The road between the river and Ji is open and open, and it was trampled by the huge Three Kingdoms alliance army last autumn and winter, so the four-wheeled car in the convoy for the ladies to sit in is much more comfortable than those two-wheeled cars, and the car for Bo Qi and his young son is the most important, it is said that several layers of goose and goose feathers are enriched under the mat to prevent the shock from hurting the baby.

After Bo Mi said goodbye gratefully, Kong Jiao said to Le Lingzi, who continued to bow her head and read the medical book: "Although Madame has not officially married, she knows a lot about how to take care of children. ”

Lingzi closed the book and said with a smile: "I am the female apprentice of the doctor Bian Que, he was in Handan back then, and when he heard the noble lady of the Handan family, he took the doctor with him; After passing Luoyang, I heard that Zhou Tianzi loved the elderly, that is, he was a doctor of ear and eye paralysis; When I entered Xianyang, I heard that the Qin people loved children, that is, they were pediatric doctors, and they changed with customs. Although I only learned a few things about him, I can still take care of my family's health. ”

"Family?"

"Of course, whether it is a wife, a son, a concubine, or a concubine, they are all husbands' families, you and Bo Mi are like my sisters, and Aman is also equivalent to my own son, they are all family members."

Kong Jiao was completely convinced at this time, and bowed respectfully to Le Lingzi.

Only when the requirements for women and obedience are fulfilled can the family be harmonious and stable; When the internal harmony is settled, then the home will last for a long time.

She believes that with Le Lingzi as the housemother, this family will definitely last for a long time, and even the anxiety of the girl's first marriage has been reduced a little.

At this moment, there was a light clasp of fingers outside the car, which frightened Kong Jiao and hurriedly sat down again.

……

The knocking sound is not heavy, but it is very rhythmic, like a husband knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

In fact, the only person who dared to do this was General Zhao. Although according to etiquette, the groom is not allowed to see each other along the way before welcoming the bride to the temple at home to get married, let alone sleeping together, but talking through the carriage, the Fu Mu will also turn a blind eye.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxian will come every day, as long as half a moment, and as short as a few words, which is basically quite ordinary with Le Lingzi, but there is a dialogue with affection, which makes Kong Jiao feel very uncomfortable listening to it.

She remembered the poem "The Female Says the Rooster Crows" that she had learned, and the performance of the two people inside and outside the carriage was just as it said, "It is advisable to drink and grow old with the son." Qin Se is in the palace, and it is good to be quiet. Kong Jiao only felt that she was caught in the middle, as if it was superfluous.

I only heard Wuxian reminding softly outside: "Liyan has arrived, and Jianjin is not far away, at this time, if you look at the left front of the car, you can see the big river." ”

Le Lingzi obediently "only" a sound.

"Tomorrow we will be able to cross the river, and you and I crossed the river with thin ice on that winter day four years ago. I'm finally back! Rest assured, this time. No one can stop me? ”

After saying this, the footsteps outside slowly left.

Kong Jiao peeked at Le Lingzi. When Zhao Wuxian escorted Le Qi back to China and was assassinated, and was blocked by people north of the river, Kong Jiao also heard about it. She vaguely felt that this place had an unusual meaning to Zhao Wuxian and Le Lingzi.

She didn't ask much, she just obediently pulled the curtain for Le Lingzi, so that she could see the big river like a light topaz belt in the distance at a glance......

……

Liyan is located in the south of the river, and there is a virtual pile that stretches and gets its name, of course. Both sides of the road are full of low shrubs and jujube trees, so it is also called "jujube". At the end of the Han Dynasty, the group of heroes discussed Dong, and it was here that the conference was held.

This is the northern defense line of the Jianjin Ferry, and as long as the Zhao clan controls this place for a day, the Qi people and the Wei people will not be able to easily cut off the communication between the east and the west from Chuqiu to the south.

However, this line of communication was not stable, and the post Wuzheng occupied only a narrow strip of land, consisting of Tu Dao and scattered cities along the way, which was exposed to Zheng and Wei at any time, but wanted to advance the occupied territory to the north. It will enter the densely populated core areas of the country, Diqiu and Chuqiu, and the rabbits that are in a hurry are still biting, not to mention that the country still has the strength to fight, and the country of Qi has not been called up on a large scale. Therefore, the East and West Erzhao can only maintain the status quo for the time being. Zhao Wuxian also transferred nearly half of his military soldiers here as a response, and used Song and Cao as horns to prevent accidents.

The group of them rested for the night in Liyan City. On the second day they traveled southwest along the Tu Road, and the scouts were ten miles away. Just in case.

When I arrived in Khamtsu, I looked at the prospect. Zhao Wuxian can only sigh with emotion.

A few years ago, when he crossed the river south with Le Lingzi in his arms, it was just a desolate river beach full of reeds and thorns, and there were only a few houses and dozens of dilapidated ferries and fishing boats on the south bank.

However, since the Zhao family acquired this place, this place has changed dramatically.

Two small towns appeared on the north and south banks, and after the change of owners, everything began to be rebuilt, and the city was built into a fortress that choked the throat of the river, and a large number of soldiers, craftsmen, and laborers came here to build the city. A sturdy rammed earth wall surrounded the tall beacon, and beyond that, a stone wall was built, and a thousand Zhao soldiers were stationed on both sides.

In the past, the lonely ferry port became a prosperous port, and the boats that went down the river from the upstream landed here, unloading the salt from Wei, the leather from Qin, the grain from Wenxian, and the handicrafts from Zhou Zhou on the shore, and then transported by land to Song, Lu, Cao and other friends of the Jin Kingdom.

There are also a few middle wings and ships made in Wen County patrolling the big river.

Normally, there was a long wait to cross the river by boat, but today, the busy and somewhat cluttered port was ordered to be cleared, and several of the crossings were reserved for Zhao Wuxian's personal convoy.

The car had to get on the big boat, and the people were crowded into the small boat, and it took more than half a day for more than 1,000 people to cross it, and if they could reach the north shore before nightfall, Zhao Wuxian would be satisfied.

By the time the sun was three, the people and horses had crossed the river more than halfway, and the cart transporting the two brides had already been loaded on the giant boat.

"After crossing to the south that year, we finally ushered in today's return to the north!" Zhao Wuxian said this in his heart, and he was about to board the boat.

At this moment, I heard a burst of scolding and reprimanding from behind me!

Looking back, a young man in Chinese clothes was held to the ground by several black-clothed guards, and while he struggled, he scolded loudly: "Let go, let go of me!" ”

Zhao Wuxian glanced at Qi Wan, the guard, "What happened?" ”

Qi Wan reported: "On the orders of the sovereign, we have put a strict guard on the side of the ferry, and announced that merchants and pedestrians from all countries are not allowed to enter. But this person didn't care about it, and rushed in with some relatives, and was taken down by the soldiers on the periphery. When the guards saw that he was well-dressed, they kept saying that they had important things to see the general, so they escorted him here. ”

After that, he handed over the sword that was removed from the young man's body to Zhao Wuxian, Wuxian looked at it, frowned slightly, this most valuable sandalwood scabbard, inlaid with gold and jade, gorgeous and graceful, pulled out and looked, the sword body with a unique diamond-shaped pattern, it was actually a sword purchased from Wu Yue.

This person's identity is extraordinary!

Shirtless retracted his feet from the boat, paced to the young man who was held down, and looked down at him.

But I saw that the young man was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but there was a trace of desperate madness in his eyes. His clothes are extremely bright, it is a fine silk brocade robe, ink and vermilion, which is the favorite color of the nobles of Zhuxia. The jade huang hanging around his waist is also very valuable, but the high crown inlaid with pearls and white jade is crooked, which looks a little embarrassed.

When the young man saw someone coming, he struggled more and more.

"Let go of me, I'm here to see General Zhao!"

As soon as he heard the young man speak, Wuxian knew that it was the Puyang accent of the patriotic country, and he was surprised in his heart, a patriotic nobleman, who came here to ask for a meeting when he was about to cross the river?

"Who are you?"

The young man struggled to raise his head and look at the questioner, revealing a miserable smile and said, "I am the prince of the country, kuankui!" ”
