Chapter 35: The Legend of the Wild Goose
"Your Majesty, there is another matter, and the minister does not dare to disagree."
Dig suddenly came back to his senses: "What's wrong?" ”
The minister arranged for the post house to let them rest early, but Miss Zhong insisted on being in the same room as Nie Rang. Although the minister is blunt, the men and women still know about it, but seeing that Zhong Ji is already weak after this twist and turn, he can't bear to use force, so he has to come to ask for instructions. ”
"Why?"
"I don't know. No matter how much we persuaded her, she just didn't agree, and Miss Zhong Ji would only shake her head, without saying a word, and tugged at Nie Rang's sleeve, her eyes were very scary, as if she ......"
"Seems like what?"
"Like, it's a little crazy." Xianzhu replied cautiously.
"Maybe it's scary, right?" Although he was unhappy in his heart, he felt palpitations when he thought of Zhong Xi's terrifying eyes, and he didn't dare to ask her why.
He remembered some psychology books he had read before, and knew that people would inevitably suffer from some psychological trauma when they experienced so many dangers in the process of growing up. This trauma, once strongly stimulated, triggers a violent stress response. Moreover, when Zhong Xi experienced these dangers, it was Nie Rang who protected her, and she naturally became strongly dependent on her. So even if he has to blame anyone, he can only blame himself for failing to protect the woman he loves.
After all, Dutu is a modern person, and the thinking of men and women is not so rigid, and finally convinced himself to accept this reality. Besides, these two have been living together in the mountains for more than a year, and he can only believe that Nie Rang will not do anything to be sorry for him. So, he motioned for Xianzhu to follow them.
This night, he woke up from nightmares countless times. Every dream starts with the sweet love of the two of them and ends with Zhong Ji's hysterical madness with terrifying eyes. Later, despite the splitting headache, I didn't dare to sleep anymore. He didn't know what this dream portended, but he felt that the happiness of recovering Zhong Ji disappeared so quickly that he couldn't help but hate Nei Jae. He was stunned, stared out the window in a daze, and sat like this until dawn.
Just when he was hesitating to go to see Zhong Xi, suddenly the attendant came to report, saying that Wei Hou was visiting. He frowned, thinking that the old man was a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, and he must not be well-intentioned, so he sent someone to inform the ministers to go and wait first.
As soon as they met, Wei Hou saw the wound on his forehead, and hurriedly asked for warmth: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why is Uncle Zheng injured?" ”
"I accidentally bumped into it." Looking at the other party's sinister face, he replied angrily.
"You must be worried about marriage, right?" The old man turned from a dark smile to a loud laugh, which made Dutu's face even more ugly.
"Just kidding, Zheng Bomo is weird. What do you think I've brought? ”
Digging Tu followed the direction he pointed and saw a wild goose tied up in red silk under the hall. It turns out that the marriage of the Zhou people has six steps: Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting the date, and welcoming in person. The first step is to ask the matchmaker to propose marriage, and according to the custom, you have to send a wild goose as a good omen.
It seems that Wei Hou is determined to stir up, so he has to be this matchmaker. Dutu was a little crying and laughing: "Proposing marriage is what a man should do." Shenhou, as a woman, asked you to send geese to me, a man, and he is not afraid of the world's jokes? ”
"If people put their posture so low, it means that they really like your son-in-law, and I'm embarrassed not to help." Wei Hou was not ashamed, but in fact, this bad idea was all behind his back.
In a tone that almost begged for mercy, he said, "Don't get involved in my marriage, okay?" ”
"Looks like you still haven't figured it out. Hey, it's a pity that the girl is infatuated. ”
"What did you say?"
Wei Hou smiled without saying a word, took out a stack of silk silks from his sleeve and handed it over.
After a slight hesitation, the digging was carefully unfolded, and it turned out to be a silk book. On the light background, a heroic swimming dragon and a graceful dancing phoenix are embroidered with gold thread. Looking at the situation, it is not like a common dragon and phoenix, but a phoenix dancing and chasing a dragon. Surrounded by geometric patterns of flowers and plants, it is extremely lingering.
Relying on the knowledge of gold and literature accumulated during this time, he tried to identify a few lines of words on the silk book, and muttered in his mouth: "Zhibi Nanshan, the words are beautiful, I have not seen the gentleman, I am sad." I also see and stop, and my heart is ......" He was shocked in his heart, remembering that this was a poem about resentment in the Book of Songs, and immediately guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.
He hurriedly went to see the payment, and sure enough, it was the word "ginger".
Wei Hou squinted his eyes and watched, as if he knew at a glance the psychological fluctuations of the dug.
"Don't you feel shameless that in order to achieve your goals, you do not hesitate to coerce an innocent woman to gamble with the happiness of her life?" Digging Tu was full of thoughts for a while, and he was a little excited, and he couldn't help but ask with such a tone that was close to tearing his face.
Old man Wei still has the style of a political old fritter, he is not angry at all, and he defends slowly: "You are wrong and old, Ji Jiang's silk book was really sent by someone, don't believe it, ask your Neizai." ”
"Nejae?"
"Oh, I think I heard that Nachi-sama was locked up by you? Then I can't ask. Wei Hou pretended to put on a look of regret, "The poor old loyal minister, who has served Uncle Zheng for generations. For this marriage, he ran inside and outside Shencheng, but he ended up in such a situation. ”
When he heard this, he became even more angry, and he hated Nezai so much that his teeth itched.
"Think about it. Forget it today, wait for two days to figure it out, and the widow will come back to talk to you about wine. Wei Hou shook his head, "Don't live up to the good intentions of the Son of Heaven, Shenhou and the old man." ”
When he was about to go out, he turned his head again and pointed to the silk book in his hand meaningfully: "Don't live up to the good intentions of other girls." ”
Dutu lowered his head, and the words "I haven't seen a gentleman, my heart is sad" came into view, stinging his soft heart again. The amorous young man helplessly rubbed the dragon and phoenix on the silk silk, and Ji Jiang's last tears appeared in front of him.
This scene is enough to make people believe that although Wei Hou is insidious and cunning, he may not have lied about Ji Jiang's emotional letter. The refusal to marry made such a beautiful and delicate woman sad and disappointed, and the digging was barely bearable. However, ignoring this love letter and making such a sincere woman lose face, it really made him ruthless.
Although he was sympathetic at that time, as soon as he remembered Zhong Xi's sweet smile, he left without hesitation. Sadly, in today's digging brain, Zhong Xi's image has always been occupied by yesterday's terrifying expression, which makes him involuntarily retreat.
Digging suddenly the heart is like numbness, hesitation, self-blame, fear, sadness tangled in the brain, and finally all hold back a wave of anger, but there is nowhere to vent.
Lord Sima on the side didn't have long eyes, and actually came up to persuade him without interest: "Your Excellency, please think twice, what Wei Hou said is not unreasonable......
"You're also going to interfere in the widow's private affairs!"
"The king's wedding is a major event of the country, not a private matter of one person!" Sima is a warrior with soldiers in the end, and his temper is actually hard up, "The ministers are all thinking about the society. But because of your own selfishness, you disregarded the etiquette and law, and even punished an old loyal minister like Lord Neizai......"
It's okay not to mention it, but as soon as Neizai is mentioned, he suddenly remembered the scene where he frightened Zhong Ji yesterday, and he suddenly became angry. He vented all his resentment on the old man, and roared, "The widow has had enough! This old stubbornness makes me unhappy, and I will make him unhappy! Go and bring him over, I'm going to cook him and break him to pieces!" ”
"Nei Zai is dedicated to Zheng Guo, and you will only chill the hearts of loyal ministers." Sima's expression became more and more serious, and there was a commotion among the ministers.
Where to pay attention to these changes: "Can a loyal minister be disobedient to the widow again and again?" ”
"Yes." The hundred chiefs remembered the hatred and scolded him, so he interjected: "Is he the monarch or is the monarch the monarch?" ”
"A hundred long days of rest are going to fall into the well!" Sima glared at him fiercely.
Xian Zhu glanced at him, and his mouth became even more energetic: "He just relies on the old man and sells the old, and he has no king!" Not only should it be cooked, but it should also be fried, it should be fried, and it should be chopped into meat sauce! ”
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as I came out, I poked a hornet's nest. It turned out that the reuse of merchants had long caused dissatisfaction among the nobles. Usually these people rely on the king to get favored, but because of their identity, they feel that they can't pull their faces to deal with these villains. Now Xian Zhu has found the demon girl, causing Neizai to be imprisoned, and now he is adding fuel to the fire here, insulting and wanting to put Neizai to death, which naturally provokes the anger of the public.
At this time, Lord Sima was like a wild cat with a fried hair, holding the sword with one hand, pointing at the other party and scolding: "Xianzhu, you villain is ambitious, insulting the courtiers, it is a disaster for the country and the people." This kind of miserliness is not only a disaster inside, but also a notoriety far and wide, which disgraces Zheng Guo, and the crime cannot be punished! ”
The nobles rebounded violently on the spot, and for a moment there was a lot of noise, and they were almost about to make a move.
