Chapter 14: The Rising Moon (1)

When the general returned to the house, everyone in the house had to go outside the palace gate to greet him. I hurriedly got up to pack my books and accidentally stepped on my own hair.

Unlike Si'er, I didn't like to tie the horns on my head since I was a child, and I always liked to run around the house with my hair loose on weekdays. One day, the general and his colleagues were drinking, and when they returned, they held my hair in their hands in a drowsy manner, and said with a smile: "Who said that Chu Ji is beautiful, my family has the most beautiful green silk in the world." Then he went to sleep. At that time, people regarded black hair as beauty, and many noble ladies would order their maidservants to cut it off and make it into their own wigs if they saw their maidservants having beautiful hair, in order to gain the love of their husbands. The general rarely praised me except for his studies, and I don't know if he remembered what he had said when he woke up, but I haven't cut my hair since.

My hair was knee-length, and I was sometimes inconvenient, just like Fang Cai, I stepped on my hair and slammed it up, almost killing myself. At this moment, seeing that the people in the backyard were gone, my heart became more and more anxious, so I had to touch my head with one hand and my skirt in the other hand and hurriedly run out, only to run to the door and fall into the arms of the comer.

It's him......

I was overjoyed in my heart, and I was about to kneel down to salute, but then I was held up by my arms and held high, "This is my family's Ah Shi, compared to the Yue Nu Shi Yiguang you said, how is it?" After the general finished speaking, my hands were slightly released, and I fell to the ground again. At this time, a young man dressed in a blue dark coat and wearing a white jade dragon group wore on his waist walked out from behind him.

"Leigh hasn't seen that Yue girl either. I only heard from the people from the south that it was a beautiful girl sent to Wu Wangfu by Gou Jian, the monarch of Yue in the early years, who was born so that the flowers could be discolored. King Wu doted on her and obeyed her words. Last spring, the Wu Kingdom attacked Qi, which is said to be related to this beauty. The man looked at me secretly, his eyes full of curiosity and surprise.

Wu Feng smiled and walked to the bookcase, and turned sideways to give the young man the main seat.

"That son thinks that last year's King Wu was a good policy?"

Hearing the general call the person who came was the son, and let him live in the upper seat, I knew that the young man in front of me must be the fourth son of Qin Bo that the general often mentions-Gongzili. Looking at the way they spoke today, the general and this prince Li are afraid that they have a different relationship from ordinary vassals.

As soon as Wu Feng's voice fell, Gongzili replied without thinking: "Wu Wangfu has always been brave and good at fighting, and fought with the Qi army in Ailing last year. In the end, when they couldn't take care of each other and messed up their own positions, they surrounded and killed them in one go, defeating 100,000 Qi troops. After the war, I heard that the leather cart alone cost 800 rides. Wu Wangfu's battle obviously made Gongzili extremely impressed with him, and he didn't even breathe after saying some praise.

If what Gongzili said is true, this Wu Wangfu is really worthy of the word "brave".

After Gongzili finished speaking, Wu Feng didn't respond, I looked up at him in confusion, only to see him frowning slightly, and after looking at Gongzili for a long time, he said: "The courage of the husband, Wu Wangfu is not as far as his father." ”

Wu Feng's words undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on the excited Gongzili, only to see Gongzili put away the smile on his face, and replied with a very unnatural expression: "Why did the general say this?" After the great victory of Wu in Ailing, he obtained a large amount of gold silk from Qi State, and the king of Wu was heroic, and sent 800 captured leather chariots and 3,000 armor to Lu to form an alliance. In the end, several small states of Song and Wei also expressed their willingness to submit to Wu. Today's Wu State is a powerful country that can compete with Jin and Chu for the position of hegemon in the world. The general despises King Wu so much, but because he previously punished your clan uncle Wu Zixu? That's why you think that the battle of Ailing is not enough to make a name for himself in the world? After Gongzili finished speaking, he closed his lips tightly, and his face turned red. On the other side, Wu Feng saw that Gongzili mentioned Wu Zixu, and his expression was a little strange.

The two of them were silent, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn and tense.

I got up and knelt down beside Gongzili, and took the opportunity of making a fire to deliberately knock the copper skewer on the wall of the furnace twice, and then stirred the charcoal fire in the furnace to crackle.

When Gongzili heard the noise, he turned his head to look at me, and instead of panicking and confessing to the ground, I sat up and looked straight back at him.

Gongzi Li looked at me for a long time, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the whole person relaxed, sat down and gave a salute to Wu Feng, and said, "Forgive me, general, it's Li-it's rude!" ”

Wu Feng glanced at me and saluted Gongzili in return: "It's a disdain for the minister, and I didn't tell Gongzi Ming." The minister thought that Qi was a big country, far away from Wu, no matter whether he won or lost, these Wu-Qi battles had already consumed a large number of elite divisions of Wu. Moreover, for the State of Wu, the biggest enemy at present is not the State of Qi or the State of Jin, but a person whom Wu Wangfucha has been ignoring. ”

Gongzi Li leaned forward slightly and asked, "But Yue Wang Goujian?" ”

Wu Feng finally smiled at this time, and he raised his hand and replied respectfully: "Childe is wise!" The husband released Gou Jian to return to the country, undoubtedly the tiger returned to the mountain, since the king of Yue Gou Jian can endure what people can't bear, he must have great ambitions. In the next 10 years, there will be a war between Wu and Vietnam. ”

Gongzili nodded after listening: "In this way, that beauty Shi Yiguang is also a powerful chess piece laid by Gou Jian." Poor King Wu is still convinced of Gou Jian's surrender, returns to the mountains with the tiger, and also sends grain and cars. ”

"It's good that Childe can understand for himself. The husband should not indulge in the land of tenderness, and the woman is a thing to enjoy in her leisure time, and she must not be taken seriously. ”

"Leigh understood."

I didn't listen to a word of what they talked about afterwards, and there was only one sentence in my head - "Women are things to enjoy in their leisure time, and they should not be taken seriously".

At that time, I didn't understand the deep meaning of Wu Feng's words, I only felt that the Qin State was close to Xirong and Jiang Qiang, and the folk customs were much more open than the Jin Kingdom, Qi State, and Lu State in the east. How could a general say such nonsense today?

After that, the two of them talked freely for more than an hour, and it was not until dusk and sunset that Gongzi Li Fang got up to say goodbye. The general sent him all the way outside the palace gate.

"The general is tired of driving and riding today, and he must be tired, so he will take his leave first, and come back another day to ask the general for advice." Gongzi Li bowed, and when he looked up, he secretly glanced at me again, and then turned and got into the carriage.

After Wu Fengmu sent the carriage away, he smiled and took my hand and walked towards the mansion: "In less than half a year, Xiao'er has grown taller again, and in another two years, I am afraid that the threshold of my general's mansion will be trampled on." Fifteen and Hu, you can't run. I'll have to think about what to do with this ceremony. ”

"Why did the general say such a thing again! Ah Shi is not married, nor does he marry. There is no man in the world who can compare to the general, and I will stay in the mansion to accompany the general for the rest of my life, and I will not go anywhere. I stopped, looked at the man standing like a spring mountain in front of me, and replied with great determination.

"Stay with me? Hahaha......" Wu Feng laughed and held me up in front of him, "Xiao'er, how many talents in the world do you know?" Saying such big things at a young age, if I, an old man, take it seriously, you won't regret it in the future. ”

Wu Feng is only thirty or two this year, but he often calls himself an old man to me, and I can't tell where he is old when I look at his handsome face.

"If the general has to say that he is an old man, then don't treat me as a child anymore, I have grown up!"

"Yes!" Wu Feng bent down and looked me up and down, left and right, and teased, "Well, I've grown up, I have to start looking for you sooner." ”

"General-" I was annoyed and angry, I shook off his hand and wanted to run, Wu Feng shook his hand, and said with a smile: "However, with your current background, I am afraid that it is a little difficult to marry a good family, why don't you join the Wu clan with me and take Mi as your surname?" ”

What the?! The general's words were so sudden that I was a little stunned for a moment. Not to mention that there are many people without names and surnames in this world, and there are many people who don't even have names. "Surname" is a great gift for a common person.

"I see you with sharp teeth and sharp mouth on weekdays, why are you stupid now? Let's go, come with me into the house! ”
