This time, Dashi took the initiative to send someone again, and did not change the messenger, what does it mean? Could it be that you want to send troops to restore the country? Thinking of this, Xu Wei was a little moved, he was thinking about attacking Xiliang and opening the prelude to opening up the Hexi Corridor. If Yelu Dashi also decides to send troops to restore the country during this period, let's not talk about it, the momentum is absolutely huge!

But this joy only swirled in the purple golden tiger's head, and disappeared immediately. Because he remembered something. In the past, although Song Liao became a brotherly country after the Yuanyuan Alliance, large-scale wars broke out before and after. In comparison, the relationship between the Khitans and the party is obviously much better. Even though Dashi went west, he still kept in touch with Western Xia. And what I am doing now is aimed at Western Xia, what is the attitude of the Khitan Congress?

Xiao Duolu didn't come all the way, it was impossible for him not to know the situation in Western Xia, could it be that this came back to have something to do with it?

Xu Wei pondered for a while, and then said: "In this way, in order to show our respect, let Deyuan and Zichong personally greet them." Arranged to live in the pavilion, supposedly, the messenger of Oshi, I should come forward in person. ”

Zhang Qing actually meant the same thing, but who knew that Taiwei's concubine was born today? Although it is important to receive the Liao envoy, this matter cannot be sloppy, just follow what the Taiwei said.

stood up, just clenched his fists, and said: "That is the case, then .........", "Ninth brother!" Raw! Raw! Xu Xiuping's voice came from outside the hall.

Xu Wei stood up abruptly and asked, "Big* peace?" ”

"All peace! All peace! Xu Xiuping's face was full of joy, and she smiled so much that even her wrinkles stretched out...... "Third Sister Xu." Zhang Qing saluted.

"Yo, Zhang San is also here, oops, it's okay now, it's okay now!" Xu Xiuping kept rubbing her hands, jī moving.

Xu Wei put down a stone in his heart when he heard Da * Ping'an, but immediately became nervous again and asked, "Sister, is it a son or a daughter?" ”

Xu Xiuping sold Guan Zi and said with a smile: "Guess! ”

Xu Wei clenched his fists, do you still need to guess? My sister's attitude is equivalent to explaining it! Zijin Tiger's face was full of surprise, his mouth moved a few times, but he didn't say anything, he finally calmed his mind and said loudly: "Son! ”

"Haha! That's right! White and fat! Just like when you were a kid! Xu Xiuping laughed.

Zhang Qing was also overjoyed, and quickly bowed deeply, and said quickly: "Congratulations to the captain!" Congratulations to Captain Hee! ”

"Son! Son! I'm ......", Xu Wei slapped his xiōng mouth vigorously, happy in the form of sè.

"Look at you, what has become of joy? Why don't you hurry up and see your son? Xu Xiuping reminded.

"Hey! Good! Xu Wei said in a loud voice, saying that he would leave. But after taking three steps, he turned around, hugged Xu Na with one hand, and held Xu Yan with the other, and said to Zhang Qing, "You wait for me." Then he strode away.

When I arrived at Zhu Jilan's courtyard, there was already laughter in the garden. In the middle, there is also a loud cry of a baby. Little thing, crying so loudly when you are out of the womb, there will be a future in the future! Xu Wei hurriedly stepped into the threshold, only to see a room full of fùdao, talking and laughing with the people there.

"This baby is like a mold carved out of the ninth brother, and the ninth brother had such eyebrows when I married into the Xu family." This is Xu Wang's voice.

"It's really, you see, between this baby's eyebrows, she looks like an official." Zhang Jiujiu's tone couldn't hide his joy.

When Xu Wei heard this, he looked at it, but found that his son was wrapped and didn't know who had a scale, and he was hanging the baby on the scale hook to weigh it.

"Ouch! Five and a half pounds! This big fat baby is really on the scales! Someone was surprised.

Xu Wei couldn't wait, so he asked his two daughters to wait outside, and stepped in by himself. When everyone saw him, they all laughed: "This is in a hurry to see my son." ”

Xu Wei didn't have any extra words, so he directly reached over and hugged the child. When his gaze fell on the child's face, he couldn't help but laugh. Although he didn't pay attention to how much this child looked like him, looking at his son's red and simple face, thick hair, and the little mouth that was crying, an inexplicable relief welled up in his heart.

"Officials patronize the small ones, not the big ones?" Zhang Jiujiu reminded on the side.

When Xu Wei heard this, he hurriedly hugged his son, Zhu Jilan was soaked with sweat all over his body, and his hair was stained on his forehead and face, very haggard. Zijin Tiger's heart tightened, and he said softly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Zhu Jilan stretched out a hand and said weakly: "Taiwei, let me see the child."

Hurriedly, she spent a long time trying to make a big fat boy for Xu Jian, and she didn't even look at it. Xu Wei sat down next to her chuáng and carefully placed her crying son next to her pillow. Zhu Jilan turned her head sideways, and when she saw her son, tears suddenly fell. The hardships of pregnancy in October, the pain of childbirth, only the women themselves know, and the men can never feel it.

"Alright, well, it's joy! Ninth brother, hurry up and choose a name for your child. Xu Wang smiled.

In fact, Xu Wei had also considered this matter before, but he had never made up his mind, and at this time, he heard his sister-in-law mention it and blurted out: "Just call it Xu Hu." ”

"Hey, good! The baby is famous, tiger head and tiger brain, this baby must be easy to bring! Xu Xiuping, who came over, laughed.

chattering and laughing for a while, Xu Yan and Xu Yan sisters also rushed in to see their younger brother, and Xu Wang said: "Okay, okay, Ji Lan is tired and should rest, let's go out." ”

When Zhang Jiujiu heard this, he stretched out his hand and wanted to hug the child, but Zhu Jilan almost protected him. The hand stretched out in front of him retracted, and Zhang Jiu smiled: "Yi'er baby is hungry, you remember to feed him nǎi." ”

Xu Wei looked at his son carefully, and then gently stroked Zhu Jilan's face with his hand, and then left the room.

"Ninth brother, you have to do a lot of full moon wine, invite him to a hundred and ten tables, so it will be lively." , Xu Xiuping suggested as soon as she went out.

"That's a big deal, right, official?" Zhang Jiujiu said with a smile.

"Yes! Absolutely! Anyone who should be invited, please! "Xu Weiren is in good spirits whenever he likes it. After speaking, remembering that Zhang Qing was still in the huā hall, he left the crowd and hurried over.

Zhang Qing was drinking tea in the hall, and when he saw that Xu Wei couldn't hide the smile on his face, he quipped: "Taiwei, are you happy to see your son?" ”

"Rejoice! Of course rejoice! Xu Wei laughed.

"Then I'll have to ask the Hun family to prepare the gift money for the full moon wine after I go back, this time it's really lively." Zhang Qing said with a smile.

Xu Weilian claimed that it was, and suddenly smiled: I personally went to greet Xiao Duolu. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Qing was stunned, "Go now?" But you've just ......."

"Hey" big * peace is fine, I'm a man, and I don't know how to take care of it, let them go to the Taoist family. Let's go, come on, prepare the horses! As Xu Wei spoke, he had already walked outside. Zhang Qing shook his head with a smile and followed.

went to the Xuanfu Disposal Division" to find Zhang Jun and Ma Kuo, and sent people to ask the officers and soldiers guarding the city, saying that they had not yet entered the city. Xu Wei was in high spirits, so he simply took a group of staff, beat horses out of the city, and went to the official road to greet him.

On the way, everyone heard that Mrs. Xu was happy to win Lin'er, and they all congratulated him. Xu Wei was in a good mood, so he simply sent out an invitation in advance, when the child is forty days old, the full moon wine, you uncles and uncles, you must arrive early! All the officials responded one after another, "They all said that this cup of wedding wine should be begged for food no matter what."

After running along the official road in the direction of Baocheng for about seven or eight miles, I saw a horse team galloping in front of me. Because of the hot weather, most of the people in that team didn't wear hats. Many of them have bare crowns of heads" and two long strands of hair on the side of the skull, which is a typical Khitan hairstyle.

The other party also discovered Xu Wei and his entourage, and when they saw someone wearing official clothes, they knew that someone from the government had come to greet them. When the two teams approached, Xiao Duolu saw Ma Kuo at a glance, and when he was a little surprised, he actually found Xu Wei again! This is really flattering, "Mrs. Xu actually went out of the city to greet him!"

"Captain Xu! I haven't seen you for a long time, don't you come unharmed? Xiao Duolu asked, leaning over on horseback.

Xu Wei clenched his fists and said loudly: "Everything is fine, but I miss it very much!" Wei led the officials of the Xuanfu Disposal Department to greet the envoy of Emperor Tianzhi! ”

This high hat is too comfortable to wear, and Xiao Duolu and his party all feel honored and honored. Xiao Duolu hurriedly said: "Don't dare, how dare you dare to Rong Taiwei's daughter?" I'm ashamed! ”

"Hey, let's not say anything polite, please enter the city! I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet for you! Xu Wei laughed.

The two gangs of people cooperated together, and they both went to Xingyuan City. Along the way, Xu Wei enthusiastically asked about Yelu Dashi's recent situation, but Xiao Duolu did not thank him. After entering the city, Xu Wei really ordered someone to prepare a banquet at the best restaurant in the city, and without saying a word, he directly led the person to the restaurant.

This is the specification of the Han people to receive relatives and friends, and Xiao Duolu is not full of feelings. After the banquet, Xu Wei diligently persuaded him to drink, only asked about some customs and customs, and did not mention official affairs in a word. Xiao Duolu is also very knowledgeable and interesting, at the wine table, he doesn't talk about business. The Khitan people can indeed drink, and after a round of wine, Ma Kuo's walking is a little floating, but people are as stable as Mount Tai. After the banquet was dismissed, Xu Wei personally arranged for the guests to stay at the pavilion, which made it clear that good wine and good food would be entertained first, and we would talk about it tomorrow if there was something.

Back at home, Xu Weixing went to Zhu Jilan's place to accompany him for a long time, holding his son in his arms and never getting tired of watching it. I was reluctant to let go until I ate. In the evening, Xu Sheng heard that his younger brother finally had an incense burner and bowl, and he also came to visit happily. is also determined, Xu Hu's baby is exactly the same as Xu Jiu when he was a child. It's just a little suspicious, why is this baby's face so red on both sides?

Zhang Jiujiu said next to him at this time: The official came back from eating and drinking, and the baby let him smoke the wine,..., the next day, it was time to talk about business, Xu Jiu still went to tease his son for a while early in the morning, but unfortunately the baby was too young, except for crying, eating, and sleeping, nothing else would be. Even so, Xu Wei still enjoys it.

The venue for the meeting between the Xuanfu and the Liao envoys was the Huā Hall of the Yamen. Because of the possible confidentiality, each passage is guarded, and unrelated people are strictly forbidden to approach. After the arrangements were made, Xu Wei sent someone to the pavilion to invite Xiao Duolu to meet him. Before that, he and Zhang Jun, Zhang Qing, Ma Kuo, and Xuanfu Judge Wan Qiwei were already waiting in the hall.

In the past, although Xu Wei and his staff members had a clear relationship, they still had a harmonious relationship. But at this moment, because of one more person, Xu Wei didn't speak, Zhang Qing and Ma Kuo only cared about eating tea, Wan Qian sat upright, didn't open his mouth, didn't eat tea, and didn't look around.

Zhang Jun saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he first broke the silence and said: "Taiwei, the Liao envoy is here, it is not a routine exchange, it may be with a purpose. ”

"Ah, maybe." Xu Wei said casually.

Zhang Jun opened his head, and then said to Wan Qian: "Judge Wan Qian, before, the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division has been in contact with Dashi many times. This time Xiao Duolu is not the second time to come, the last time he went back to the Ma staff officer, Dashi increased gold and silver and sweat and blood horses as a reply, and still attached importance to bilateral relations. ”

Wan Qian listened to it and said: "Dashi is far away from the Western Regions, I am afraid that I can't count on it, so I shouldn't pay too much attention to it, and it is important to take care of the present." ”

Ma Kuo and Zhang Qing were not happy when they heard this, what does it mean to take care of the eyes? Have we wasted our karma? Oishi and we have a common enemy, and it is indeed necessary to contact him, you have only been here for a few days, you know a bird!

Xu Wei glanced at him and said with a smile: "The hero of the Great Stone World, with hundreds of horsemen to go away to the Western Regions, conquer many countries, and renew the country of Liao, for many years, Nian Nian has not restored his homeland, which is exactly the same as ours." If you can connect him and fight against the great cause of Jin Restoration, it will be of great benefit. When we are in our position, we should take a long-term view and not just look at our feet. ”

Wan Qiyu saw that he was-for-tat, but the other party was the chief, and he was not easy to resist, so he only said: "I hope it will be as Xuanfu Xianggong wishes." ”

"Captain, the Liao envoy has arrived." An adjutant reported from inside.

"Please!" Xu Wei waved his hand. After a while, Xiao Duolu was not alone, walked in quickly, stood in the hall, first saluted Xu Wei, and then met with Zhang Jun, Ma Kuo, and Zhang Qing, but he didn't know Wan Qishang. Then he saluted: "I don't know what this minister is called?" ”

"This is the judge of Sichuan Xuanfu, Wan Alas." Zhang Jun introduced.

Xiao Duolu didn't also salute, so he sat down. Because Ma Kuo has a relationship with the Khitans, of course he said the opening remarks, but when he was about to speak, Xu Wei smiled and said: "Honorable envoy, my concubine gave birth to a son for me yesterday, and you happened to arrive yesterday, so, I hope you brought good news." ”

Xiao Duolu didn't naturally know what he meant, before Ma Kuo returned to China with him and was received by the emperor, at that time, he proposed the joint anti-Jin matter on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty and Xu Taiwei. Although the emperor accepted this proposal, it was only a shelf, and there was no specific content. Now that Xu Taiwei has proposed it again, it can be seen that the Southern Dynasties are also very active and enthusiastic about the joint anti-Jin incident.
