After another two days, Qin Daochuan finally got rid of the fever, the military doctor promised him to get out of bed and walk around, Tuvar saw it, and asked him if he could meet the king of Western Xia, Qin Daochuan nodded and said: "I should have met the king of Western Xia a long time ago, but I have been delayed for a long time because of my injury, if I can see him tomorrow, it will be better." Tuvar promised to return to his uncle at once.

On the second day, the king of Western Xia received Qin Daochuan in the main hall.

Qin Daochuan looked at Tuoba Junchi, the king of Western Xia sitting on the throne, with a white face and beard, high eyebrows and handsome eyes, the braid made of reddish-brown hair was decorated with colorful gemstones, and the beard was also braided with a cat's eye size topaz. The clothes on his body are also full of flowers, and the gold threads that are picked and woven are shining.

After Qin Daochuan saw the salute, Tuoba Junchi, the king of Western Xia, raised his hand full of rings and motioned for him to be seated.

After Qin Daochuan explained his intentions, he handed over the letter of state written by Zhao Xiansheng, the current emperor of the Eastern Continent, to the King of Western Xia. ”

Qin Daochuan got up and gave a salute, and replied: "I have heard for a long time that the king of Western Xia is majestic and magnificent, handsome and extraordinary, this time I am fortunate to be the messenger of my emperor, and I finally see the true face of Your Majesty, and I know that the rumors are true." “

When the King of Western Xia heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and still invited Qin Daochuan to sit down.

Qin Daochuan said: "The Western Xia and the Eastern Continent have been trading for a long time, and Daochuan often sees the caravans from the Western Xia in Beijing. Therefore, when our emperor heard that King Tuvar was in danger, he ordered me not to hesitate to escort him to Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia, so that the king could be handed over to His Majesty unharmed. ”

The king of Western Xia listened and said: "General Qin is humble, and General Tuvar has to sacrifice his life to save me, so he can appear in front of me alive, and this king is grateful." After General Qin is healed, the mission can go to your country with the general, and your country has great kindness to this king, and this king is by no means such an ungrateful villain. ”

Qin Daochuan said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, and along the way, I also lost the wit and intelligence of King Tuvar, so we were able to reach Xingqing Mansion smoothly." If our emperor learns that His Majesty has sent a special mission, he will be overjoyed and greet him! ”

The two of them continued to say a few polite words, and the king of Western Xia changed his words and said: "Tuvar grew up in front of me since he was a child, and he also learned the same as me, he does not like conquest, and prefers peace. He was my only nephew, so after he ascended the throne, he traded with my Western Xia and bartered for goods, so that the people on the steppe could have food and clothing without plundering themselves. Who knew that the Buri Gude guy actually killed my imperial sister, drove my nephew, and occupied the magpie's nest, which was unbearable. ”

Qin Daochuan had no choice but to answer: "After King Tuvar ascended the throne, he and my Eastern Continent have not had a sword soldier for a long time, and the border people on both sides have been able to recuperate, and gradually there are still some small trades, which is also happy for our emperor." Burigud has been very cruel since childhood, and we have all heard of it. With the help of His Majesty, King Tuvar will be able to return to the royal court, drive out Burigude, and restore peace to the grassland. ”

Seeing that he was not on the road, the king of Western Xia continued: "Although the mussels such as Bu Rigude have never been in the eyes of my Western Xia army, but my Western Xia and the grassland have not fought for a long time, if the general knows all the tribes of the grassland, if he can get the help of the general, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort, and he will be able to achieve success immediately." ”

Qin Daochuan could only answer: "The matter is very high, I hope that Your Majesty will allow Daochuan to return to Beijing to inform my emperor of this matter, and Your Majesty can also personally write a letter to Daochuan to my emperor, as long as it is related to the peace of the north, I believe that my emperor will reply to Your Majesty." ”

The king of Western Xia had already spoken here, and said, "It's okay, then I'll wait here for good news." ”

Qin Daochuan didn't want to stay in Xixia for a long time, so he took the opportunity to say: "I don't know if Your Majesty's mission may travel immediately?" Daochuan was anxious to return to Beijing to resume his life, so he didn't dare to disturb His Majesty here. ”

As soon as the king of Western Xia heard that it was exactly what he wanted, he said, "It is feasible." I have already ordered someone to prepare a generous gift to express my gratitude. ”

Qin Daochuan did not refuse, thanked the king of Western Xia and returned to his residence.

Qin Dong and the others were worried and happy when they heard this, happy that they could finally return to the capital to marry Mei Jiaoniang, and worried that Qin Daochuan was seriously injured, and they were afraid that there would be a mistake on the road.

The military doctor listened and said, "I have an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it?" ”

Qin Dong hurriedly said, "The military doctor said quickly." ”

The military doctor said: "The general can ask His Majesty to let me go with the regiment, the mission needs a doctor, and the general also needs a doctor, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

Before Qin Daochuan could express his position, Qin Dong immediately said: "General, this is very good, very good!" ”

Qin Daochuan saw that Qin Dong must have a reason for this, so he agreed.

Two days later, Qin Daochuan and his entourage finally set off with the mission, and Tuvar in the team was very happy.

Qin Nan asked Qin Daochuan in a low voice, "Why is he going?" ”

Qin Daochuan said softly: "He has always liked to be lively, and when he learned that he was going to the Eastern Continent, where could he sit still, the King of Western Xia was also happy to see this, so he agreed." ”

Qin Nan beckoned to Bai Yin, Bai Yin rode over, Qin Nan said: "I'll teach you a few words of Chinese on the way, and when you get to the capital, you can go to that fun place to play." ”

Bai Yin nodded, and the two of them rode in a pile, and you came and went on the road, and Bai Yin's stiff pronunciation often made Qin Nan staggered. Tuvar has some talent, he learns faster than Baiyin, and his pronunciation is relatively standard.

Qin Daochuan sat in the car, touching the aching wound, while thinking about which gifts to keep and which to pay tribute to the emperor.

Thinking about what Ruoshu is doing at this time? Have you ever worried about him, have you ever missed him?

After thinking about it, I felt very depressed, and I was sure that Ruoshu would not worry about her.

Ruo Shu really didn't have time to think about him at this time, since Lu Erye changed back to his original surname Zeng, he had the idea of the future in his heart, and the business of Yinlou was becoming more and more prosperous, and the more and more semicolons opened, his profits naturally rose. As the saying goes, if a farmer receives two more loads of grain, he will also have the idea of changing wives. As soon as there is a lot of money in this hand, he naturally wants to reorganize the lintel and pass on the lineage.

Lu Liuye, the current shopkeeper Li, is a fellow villager with him, and he makes fun of him every day. One day, the shopkeeper Zeng drank too much wine, and was provoked by the shopkeeper Li, so he said that he would marry a wife tomorrow and would definitely be able to give birth to a litter of cubs. At that time, I will ask Shopkeeper Li to prepare more laisee, don't be stingy.

On the second day, the shopkeeper Li really took the matchmaker to find him, and the shopkeeper Zeng got off the donkey, chose a young lady who was twenty-eight years old and had an innocent net worth, and did a happy event.

Ruoshu was doing a long confinement at the time, and only gave a gift money, but Lan Xuan and Xia Lian went to eat the wedding wine together.

At this time, Ruoshu was sitting in the Jia Fang Hall, eating the full moon wine invited by the shopkeeper, the little Jiao Niang was really powerful, she gave birth to a boy, and she was so happy that she was the shopkeeper, and she didn't close her mouth all day long, but now she only served three dishes, and she was a little drunk.

Ruoshu took Zhonglan with him, and the dragon and phoenix fetus were too small, so he stayed in the right courtyard.

The shopkeeper Zeng walked in front of Ruoshu again, wanted to toast her, and said: "Owner, let Lu Er toast you again, if it weren't for you, Lu Er wouldn't have dreamed of today's joy!" ”

Lan Xuan stopped in front and said, "Grandpa Zeng, the owner never drinks, so I'll take her place!" You'll have to bear it a lot when you're old. ”

After speaking, he picked up the wine glass, but the shopkeeper Zeng said: "Miss Lan Xuan, I know that your alcohol is good, and when you get married, I must try the groom's alcohol consumption." ”

After saying that, everyone listened to it and said so, Lan Xuan blushed, Lan Zhi stood up, raised her glass and said to the shopkeeper: "Grandpa Zeng, you have watched Lan Xuan grow up since you were a child, don't be stingy when it comes time to add a dowry!" ”

Zeng Ye hurriedly said: "That's natural, everyone said yes!" ”

Everyone agreed, and a few little girls to be married could only lower their heads and blush, biting their lips.

Lu Liuye of Mi Xing, the current shopkeeper Li, quietly looked at Lan Zhi and forced a smile.

Lan Zhi didn't want to marry, he naturally knew, he only blamed his son who was not angry, married a new one, and didn't care about Lan Zhi, a daughter who had no mother, and his wife was also patriarchal, so he had no choice but to entrust Lan Zhi to Mrs. Lu, who saw that Lan Zhi was stable, so she asked her to accompany the owner.

Since then, even if Lan Zhi returned to Qingzhou, she has never returned to her home.

This time, all the girls of the same age as her are married, but she, alas!

Until Xi San, Shopkeeper Li never had the courage to ask the owner to find a family for Lan Zhi.

However, Ruoshu, when saying goodbye to everyone, saw that Lan Zhi was not around, and said to the shopkeeper Li: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, everyone has their own fate, and when the fate arrives, it will naturally come naturally." ”

Shopkeeper Li saw that the owner had seen through his thoughts, his eyes were hot, his eyes were a little red, and he replied: "Lu Liu is not talented, and he is ashamed of the owner." ”

Ruoshu said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't be horses and cows for your children and grandchildren." ”

Zhonglan heard it on the side, learned it again, and if it was not clear, everyone smiled and revealed this article.

Du Jiuqi stayed by the carriage, and when he saw that Ruoshu finally returned to the car, he wanted to speak, but Ruoshu said: "I just want to choose some clothes and materials for Zhonglan, you can go with me to the shopkeeper." ”

Du Jiuqi nodded, and left first in a flash.

Ruoshu arrived at Lu Siye's coat and hat shop, and now in the shopkeeper's shop, he selected a few seasonal materials for Zhonglan, and explained to the tailor, if the remaining materials were enough, he would make shirts for dragon and phoenix tires.

After finishing his work, when he came to the backyard, Du Jiuqi was already waiting here, because everyone had drunk, Ruoshu only left Lan Zhi by his side, and the other four people wanted Sanjiu and Jiaosu to send them back first.

Du Jiuqi said: "The owner, there has been a new movement over there recently, and it seems that he is ready to marry the Chen family in the family. ”

When Ruoshu heard this, he asked, "Is Chen Jiaken?" ”

Du Jiuqi nodded and said, "Nine times out of ten." ”

Ruo Shu chuckled lightly and said, "It seems that the way of the world is really going to change, the Chen family has always been low-key, and now they are actually taking this risky step?" No wonder the shopkeeper over there said that since the death of the Chen family, it is not as good as before, and from time to time there are ceramic merchants who come to return the goods, and I don't know if they know there? ”

Du Jiuqi replied: "It's clear, it's just that the emaciated camel over there feels that the camel is bigger than the horse, and he wants to get involved with the other two." ”

Ruoshu sneered and said: "Let him be, King Jing's side is unpredictable, the capital, over there, I don't know who there are, I have to be lively for a while, I still say that, don't show up, I still don't know what his last reliance is?" Let's take it easy. ”

Du Jiuqi replied: "I understand, I heard him always mention Tianji Ridge recently, but it's just a barren mountain, nothing?" ”

Ruoshu thought for a while and said, "Didn't you have the same idea as you?" ”

Du Jiuqi replied: "I also thought so, but he is different from us, if there are no fewer people, where will he get so much money to support?" ”

Ruoshu said: "This may be the reason why he married the Chen family!" ”

Du Jiuqi replied: "The owner, regardless of anything else, his ambition and insight are much stronger than those who are in power now. ”

Ruoshu said: "That's why I'm happy to see it!" ”

Du Jiuqi said: "He has been distressed that King Jing has always stood still. ”

Ruoshu said: "You can't want to fish in troubled waters, let's win in chaos!" But even if King Jing moves, the feudal towns and the Xiang army will not necessarily support him, and he must have a plan for the future. ”

Du Jiuqi said: "I heard that the disciples of the old man Guanshi are all over the world, and there may be people who can help him. ”

Ruoshu said, "Really? I don't know. ”

The two chatted for a while, Ruoshu still had a cautious attitude before, and Du Jiuqi also thought that the current future was uncertain, and it was good to be cautious.
