Chapter 40: Ordinary Happiness
The Empress Bao was wearing Hanfu, and her headdress was combed into a very popular high bun in the Tang Palace, and from the outside, she was no different from the women of the Tang Kingdom, but she was followed by a group of ministers wearing Japanese costumes, which looked a little weird.
I saw her holding a jade seal in both hands, taking steps, followed by a young man with a somewhat frightened expression, walking towards the camp where the Tang army was encamped.
At this moment, Zhang Liang had already received the news that the queen of the Japanese kingdom seemed to be going to surrender, and led the soldiers to ride a high-headed horse out of the village to negotiate......
The two teams of men and horses were far away, and Zhang Liang saw clearly the surrender team of the Japanese people, and shouted loudly to the leading Bao Huangdi: "Who is coming, report your name!" ”
Empress Bao took two steps forward respectfully, raised her head and said to Zhang Liang on horseback: "Attached to the Empress Bao Huang Clan, I have seen the general. ”
Zhang Liang looked up and down curiously, and asked in disbelief, "Are you the Empress of the Japanese Kingdom?" But why are you wearing my Datang costume?! With that, he looked at the guards beside the Empress Bao with a wary expression, as if if if her answer was doubtful, he would order the army beside him to do it.
"The general is the Governor of the Navy, Zhang Liang and Zhang Jun." The Empress Bao did not answer Zhang Liang's question, but asked rhetorically.
"Oh?" Zhang Liang looked puzzled and said, "Do you know the general?" ”
"The concubine was fortunate enough to see the general in Xujiazhuang, and the general may have forgotten about it." The Empress Bao replied lightly, but when she said the three words Xujiazhuang herself, an imperceptible light flashed in her eyes.
"Oh?" When it comes to Xujiazhuang, Zhang Liang is even more curious. Isn't that Guiguzi's mansion? Why did the person in front of me, who called herself the Empress of the Wa Kingdom, go there? He even said that he had seen himself. Zhang Liang was a little confused by the monks of the second chapter.
"You said you lived in Xujiazhuang, when and where did you see the general?" Zhang Liang decided to ask.
"Just nine years ago, at the end of summer, about August 20th." The treasure princess said with some sadness, in the blink of an eye, it has been so many years, but what the man said to herself. I still remember it so clearly, as if it was still in my ears.
"Nine years ago?" Zhang Liang's expression was a little exaggerated, who could still remember what happened nine years ago, the woman in front of her obviously wanted to fool herself, so she made up such a lie nine years ago.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang's complexion and tone began to become unkind, and he said coldly: "In nine years, the sea has changed into a mulberry field, how will Ben know if you are fooling Ben Jiang?!" Honestly, what exactly are your goals? If I can't say it, Ben won't mind using your heads to open meat for my army today! ”
"Nine years...... The sea has changed into a mulberry field......" The Empress Bao also raised her head and recited this sentence silently. Her eyes began to become hollow, and her mouth seemed to be saying something, nine years, it has been nine years, how many days and nights, she has been thinking about the man who gave her hope and pain, people say, love is deep, pain is painful. The pain she has endured over the years can simply drive her crazy.
If it weren't for the desire in her heart to let those who looked down on her prostrate at her feet, the princess felt that she might have gone crazy a long time ago, but she still had that little belief in her heart, that is, to give birth to their children and cultivate them as adults, which supported her step by step to the present.
"Well, did you hear what Ben said? Ben will ask again, who are you? What does it have to do with Xujiazhuang!? Zhang Liang was already a little impatient, because when he looked at the woman in the distance, he found that her eyes were blank and not focused at all, and she looked like a walking corpse.
With a loud shout, the Bao Imperial Maiden who fell into memories was brought back to reality, and smiled apologetically at Zhang Liang, and the Bao Imperial Maiden said slowly: "The concubine body is the third concubine room of Xu Yang, the Guiguzi of Chuanguo County, and it is also the queen of the current Wa Kingdom. ”
"What!" Zhang Liang originally looked upright and very irritable, but the next moment, his face was full of surprise, Guiguzi himself also knows, every year during the New Year's Festival, he will also go to Xujiazhuang to visit, originally heard that Guiguzi's second concubine room is Princess Silla, I have never heard that he has a third concubine room, and he is also a queen of the Wa Kingdom.
Zhang Liang slowed down for a while before recovering from the shock, and still tentatively said in disbelief: "There is no basis for your words, how can you prove that you are the queen of the Wa Kingdom, and you are also the third concubine of Brother Xu?" ”
When Empress Bao heard Zhang Liang's question, she raised her hand, gently picked up the jade seal in her hand, and said to Zhang Liang: "General Zhang can verify that this is the heirloom jade seal of the Wa Kingdom. ”
When Zhang Liang heard this, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to present the jade seal and play with it in his hand, only to see a jade toad carved on the jade seal, and the four big characters of 'ordered by the sky' were engraved on the front, which seemed to be the only national seal of the Wa Kingdom.
Raising his head, Zhang Liang said: "Well, this is indeed the heirloom jade seal of the Wa Kingdom, and the identity of your queen of the Wa Kingdom will be known, but you also said before that you are the concubine of Xu Yang in the Guigu Valley, how can this be proved?" ”
Hearing Zhang Liang's inquiry, a happy smile appeared on the face of the Empress Bao for the first time, and she turned to a young man and said, "Nianqing, come out, this general is your father's friend, Uncle Zhang Liang." ”
The young man, who had been hiding behind the woman, slowly stood up, looked at Zhang Liang, who looked fierce and vicious, and whispered in fear: "Meet Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang is blessed." ”
And Zhang Liang was wide-eyed, looking incredulous, his mouth was open as if he could stuff a duck egg, because the young man, between his eyebrows, was nine points similar to Xu Yang, it was carved out of the same mold as Xu Yang, but because he was too young, he was still too immature......
"Husband, there is a lot of noise in the newspapers now, do the people of the four eastern countries really plan to immigrate to the Tang Dynasty? Are they all going to be sent to factories and mines? ”
In a steamy bathroom, Liu Mengli leaned next to Xu Yang and asked, the two didn't seem to mind such a skin-to-skin relationship, it seemed that the seven-year itch had fused this couple into a community that did not distinguish each other.
"How can they all be sent to the factory?" Xu Yangba pursed his mouth, picked a few crystal clear grapes from the fruit bowl next to him and stuffed them in his mouth, and said very casually: "Now compared to factories and mines, reclamation is now also the top priority, I heard that the household department has now begun to accumulate five years of reserves, that is to say, even if Datang now encounters disasters for five consecutive years, the harvest of the Zhuang family is not enough, the people can survive, and now granaries are built everywhere, and there is reclamation everywhere, Your Majesty can't wait for the whole Datang to plant corn and potatoes now." ”
Hearing Xu Yang say this, Liu Mengli said with a thoughtful look: "According to what Fujun said, it seems to be true, Nanshan heard that there are three new granaries over there, and now the price of potatoes on the market has fallen too low, only 37 yuan a catty, and now in Chang'an, you can find a job for 20 yuan a month, and the people are full, so naturally they will not buy more food, so much grain produced by our Datang every year, in my opinion, is not all taken away by those granaries." ”
Xu Yang spit out the grape seeds on the outside of the big bath, patted Liu Mengli's round ass and said: "What do you do with your daughter's family, it is only right to teach your husband and children at home, Xingtang is about to go to the primary school of Nanshan Academy, I asked you to teach him Xu's algorithm You don't have it, the entrance exam, I don't want my dignified son of Guigu to come back with a duck egg." ”
Liu Mengli said with silky eyes: "Your son is much smarter than you, and now the multiplication and division within 100 is clearer than Lao Xie in the bookkeeper, so you can put 10,000 hearts." ”
Looking at Liu Mengli's charming and lovely demeanor, Xu Yang's hands were a little dishonest, but Liu Mengli didn't care so much, she slapped Xu Yang's big hand off at once, covered her slightly bulging lower abdomen, glanced at her stomach happily, and then raised her head again, glared at Xu Yang and said, "What about surrogacy, don't move your hands and feet." ”
Xu Yang had a helpless expression, Liu Mengli and Jin Shengman were both pregnant, and when they came back from Mount Tai, not only did they not enjoy the family hug and sleep together, but they slept alone all night, which was hard...... Not enough for outsiders either...... (To be continued......)
