Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Tibetan Infestation
Xue Shang has been married for more than half a year, and Jiedu makes his daughter feel sorry for him, and the water splashed out by his married daughter is not said here in Jiedu.
Xue Shang and Feng Jiao often go back to their parents' home. Feng Jiao is a festival that makes the couple intimate little padded jacket, and the little padded jacket wants to go home every now and then.
Xue Shang's mansion is not far from Lao Taishan's house, and Xue Shang returned to his parents' house with his wife when he was resting.
Xue Shang's elder brother is one, Feng Jiao has no aunts and in-laws, and there are a group of servants at home. The husband and wife sang and loved each other.
Xue Shang never concealed his intimacy and love for Feng Jiao in front of Lao Taishan, and he would bow to Feng Jiao.
My uncle is willing to eat mutton, boiled mutton, and my daughter likes to eat hot pot. Old Taishan prepared delicious food and wine, waiting for the husband and wife to return to their parents' home.
Li Guyan has three sons, the eldest son Li Jian, who is weak. The second son, Li Ming, abandoned Wu Congwen, and the third son, Li Fu, was six years old at the time.
Among the three sons, Li Fu is the most favored by Li Guyan, although he is young, his personality is the most like his father.
The eldest son Li Jian set up his own door, and a mansion next to the Jiedu Envoy's mansion was the residence of the eldest son Li Jian.
When the daughter returned, the mother sent for her son's family. Li Jian is in weak health, and he has a name in the Jiedu Mansion, and he spends most of his time recuperating at home.
Feng Jiao is a little baby in the eyes of her mother, although she has married another woman. By her mother's side, she will still snuggle up to her mother's arms and be coquettish.
"Jiao'er, let's see what my mother has prepared for you?"
The mother saw her daughter's flower and moon appearance becoming more and more beautiful, and the mother was in her heart
Glad. beckoned her daughter to her side, Feng Jiao moved the lotus step lightly, huan
Snuggled into her mother's arms.
"Feng Jiao, my uncle is good to you, and your father and I are very pleased.
I don't know who else is in Xue Shang's family? It is also within your duty for your daughter to import Ding to the Xue family."
The mother laid out a piece of cloth and showed it to Feng Jiao, preparing the fabric for making clothes for her little grandson.
"Mother." Feng Jiao was shy and reached out to wrap her arms around her mother's neck.
"People who want to be mothers are like children who don't grow up." Her mother gently stroked her hair and said lovingly.
The mother and the two said thoughtful words. "Daughter, has the menstrual affair come?"
"Hmm." Feng Jiao nodded.
Married for more than half a year, there was no movement. Mother is worried about the succession of the Xue family, and if there is no movement for a year, she has to find a doctor.
Xue Shang and Feng Jiao are still newlyweds, and Feng Jiao did not put the matter of heirs on the agenda. She is enjoying her life now, so she can't understand her mother's mind yet.
The eldest son's family came over. His son Li Jianqi is skinny, coughs all year round, does not sleep well, and his eye circles are black.
The daughter-in-law is slightly fat, the husband is not in good health, and the daughter-in-law is also a bitter gourd face.
The smell of boiling Chinese medicine at home all year round. My daughter is one year old and can drink medicine when she eats.
The daughter-in-law's complexion is rarely sunny. can only blame himself for his poor life and marry a sick husband.
Seeing that Feng Jiao and Xue Shangjia were naturally married, and the two of them were like glue, they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.
The daughter is the pearl of the palm, and even the son-in-law of the poor family is the guest. The son is not as expensive as his uncle, and he is a little indignant in his heart. In short, I just don't feel comfortable.
Feng Jiao rushed forward to call her sister-in-law and took her niece and held her in her arms. The sister-in-law has a face of arrears. Feng Jiao married a wife, but she understood her sister-in-law's distress.
When the meal is served, the lamb that has just come out of the pot is steaming. Xue Shang took care of his wife first, and the hot pot was steaming.
Xue Shangcai is a vegetable, meat is meat, and he is sandwiched on a plate for his wife. It's almost fed to the mouth. Xue Shang did this calmly.
He was not a little uncomfortable because of serving his wife, especially under the curious gaze of everyone in the Li family, his movements were smooth and skillful.
Obviously, there is no shortage of practice at home. Feng Jiao couldn't bear to be looked at by everyone.
Xue Shang: "Madam, please use it." Then he looked around at the crowd and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, second elder, please eat." ”
The eldest brother made fun of him and said, "My sister-in-law can't do it for Feng Jiao because she can't eat." ”
said that Feng Jiao's face was flushed, but Xue Shang didn't care, "I'm afraid of wronging Mrs. ”
Feng Jiao lowered her head in shame. The general saw that his son-in-law loved his daughter in his heart, and after his daughter got married, she became more and more beautiful, and she was happy in her eyes.
In winter, the grass is withered, covered with snow, and the forage for cattle, sheep and livestock is insufficient. Two heavy snowfalls fell in the Tibetan region, and countless cattle, sheep and livestock died of cold and starvation.
The Tibetans often sent small groups of cavalry across the border to raid and burn, kill and loot in nearby villages and towns.
In winter, when it gets dark early, a detachment of cavalry takes advantage of the darkness to reach a village near the border. Smoke rises in the village, and it's dinner time.
The Tibetan cavalry covered the horses and covered the mouths of the horses to prevent the horses from making noises. The dogs in the village heard the sound of horses' hooves and barked one after another.
When the villagers heard the barking of dogs, it was different from the past, and the young men came out with sticks and pickaxes in their hands to check.
At this time, the Tibetan cavalry had already entered the village, and they would kill anyone they saw. Those who run fast pick up a life and come back, and those who run slowly lose their lives.
Those who run back, close the doors and windows, and let the chickens and dogs jump outside, and they will not come out.
The Tibetan people are like entering a no-man's land, poultry, livestock, and grain, and they can't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms, and pack up everything they see and take it away.
The dogs guarding the courtyard chased the Tibetans and barked and bitten. When they saw their companions being shot by the Tibetans' bows and arrows, they ran away and stood at a distance and shouted at the robbers who entered the village.
It wasn't until the hustle and bustle outside calmed down that the villagers came out one after another in fear. Check your belongings and find your loved ones. Wails and cries echoed in the dark night.
A year's hard work and harvest were plundered by the Tibetans. How to spend the rest of the day!
The Tibetan people returned with a full load, excitedly forgetting to hide their whereabouts, and it was worthwhile to go back from this trip to be rewarded for meritorious deeds. If you are proud, you will get carried away and forget that it is in the realm of Datang.
Xue Shang led a team of men and horses to patrol the border, and heard a Tibetan person talking, and it drifted with the wind intermittently.
Xue Shang ordered the soldiers to extinguish their torches and prepare to stumble and wait for the rabbit.
When the Tibetans saw a dark pile in front of them, they did not dare to light the torches for fear of revealing their whereabouts.
A few people explored the way in front and rode their horses and ran over. Those in the back followed. The horses in front of them fell, and the men on the horses fell off their horses.
The horse in front fell, and the one behind did not know what had happened. rushed forward, the black light was blind, and the formation was chaotic.
The Tubo people did not expect to meet the Tang army here. They shouted in the Tibetan language: "Protect the son." ”
The Tubo people and horses were tied to chickens, ducks, geese, grain, etc., and after they succeeded, they were about to go back in triumph, but they didn't expect to meet Xue Shang head-on.
The torches on both sides were lit at the same time. There are more than 50 people on Xue Shang's side, and there are more than 100 people in Tubo. The Tubo people relied on the large number of people and did not plan to take a detour.
There was a young general wearing silver chain mail in the Tibetan array who was particularly eye-catching, and the Tibetan soldiers protected him tightly.
Xue Shang thought to himself that I would take him down, capture the thief and capture the king first, and as soon as he slapped the horse, he rushed to the young general.
The young general came up from the formation with two swords in hand. Xue Shangle was happy, and he sent it to the door by himself, which was really unbelievable.
He was so happy, the apple-like face of the young man opposite was a little annoyed, and he hummed to look at people through the cracks in the door. Let you see and understand, sir, I'm amazing.
He solemnly stated in Chinese: "General Tang, Hugh wants to look down on people, and the master's ability is only afraid of scaring you." ”
Xue Shang wanted to tease him, "The yellow-haired child who has not dried up has to speak wildly. ”
The young general did not show weakness, "I think you are an embroidered pillow, and it is useless." ”
"Just the kung fu of this three-legged cat, you go back to your mother's womb and come back to the furnace again."
Where is the hand of this young man who holds the sword, he is almost the same as holding an embroidery needle.
Xue Shang picked up the sword in his hand with one shot, and the Tubo soldiers next to him wanted to help, so Zhang Xing waited to give them a chance.
Zhang Xing and others separated the young general from his subordinates. The Tibetan people were in a hurry and couldn't get forward.
"Did the boy sneak out in the morning without feeding? Be careful to go home and your mother spanks you. ”
Xue Shang danced a spear in his hand and kept talking. The other sword in the young general's hand was also picked out by Xue Shang. The youngster's eyes were clouded with mist.
