Chapter 177: Black and White (Part II)
Above the Chu water, Zhuge clan's canopy boat swayed with the waves. As night fell, Shu'er lit the candles in the boat.
Lin Ying was playing with the red porcelain cup in her hand, and there was still the last sip of wine left in the wine glass. He looked at Shu'er by the faint candlelight, and sighed in his heart, twelve years of Baiguo aging will finally be drunk with you.
Sister Shu'er, first acquaintance, I am a five-year-old child who can't talk well, and you are the nine-year-old sister who beat a few cousins for me in the orange grove. When my grandfather died that year, my father asked me and my mother to leave the Shengwang Mansion, I was very reluctant, but because I was accompanied by you all the way, from Chu to Shu, and then to Chen to open a shop and live in peace, I have actually lived very happily over the years.
Until you sent me back to the Shengwang Mansion, we ran rampant between Zhao and Song, won the first prize of the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce, and also provoked the Empress Dowager of the Song Kingdom, but in fact, it was ...... I was nervous about returning home, not because of homesickness, but because I was afraid that once we were separated, we would not be able to do it yesterday.
You left Yudu at the age of seven, and you still didn't have a deep impression of Yudu, and I left Yuling at the age of five, how can I talk about homesickness? What I thought and thought, I was my father back then, and today, it's you.
I feel that I have grown old overnight, not because you are married, but because, after a period of sorrow, I suddenly feel proud and happy for you. You have found a good home for yourself, as you wish, and what you get. The love between you and me for more than ten years day and night, the beginning, has nothing to do with Fengyue, Fengyue, and will not end, otherwise, how can you be worthy of that period of innocence and wandering years?
Lin Ying raised the red porcelain wine glass, and her eyes were gentle: "Sister Shu'er, this pot of 100 fruit aging has a colorful and complicated taste. The last cup is to pay tribute to the meals we ate together, the stories we listened to, the business we started together, and the moon we watched together. ”
Shu'er smiled, but couldn't help choking. She hurriedly lowered her head to wipe away her tears, but saw that the wine in her cup had already been drunk. She picked up the flask and tried to fill it, but there was not a drop left in the flask.
Lin Ying poured half of the wine in her cup into Shu'er's cup, and with a crisp "ding", the two clinked glasses and drank.
Lin Ying looked at Shu'er with satisfaction, her eyes were slightly red and swollen.
Shu'er, this pot of Baiguo Brew was made by my mother and Aunt Yan when they went to Fanjing to open a restaurant. On that day, you went to the market with Aunt Song to buy, and I stayed at home and helped my mother and Aunt Yan peel a lot of fruit. My mother said to me personally: "Xiaoying, this wine should be prepared well, and when your sister Shu'er and you grow up, these two jars of wine will be the wedding wine when you get married." "At that time, I didn't know what a "glass of wine" was.
When Dongfang took my mother back to Yuling from Fanjing, my mother specially brought back my altar. Your altar is still kept by Aunt Yan. My mother told me that Aunt Yan and Uncle Zhao Qi want to wait for you and your husband to return to Fanjing when they will make up a wedding banquet for you, and when the time comes, they will open your altar again. The little pot you and I drank today is a scoop that I scooped out of my jar of aged wine without permission.
Although you are wearing a red ribbon embroidered by Shu, it is the hair ornament of the newly married women of the Shu Kingdom. I am from Chu, you are from Qi, the gift of Shu, what does it have to do with you and me?
Shu'er, have you ever heard that the cup of joy wine in the Chu State is that the husband pours half of the wine in his cup and enters the cup of his wife?
Although you are not wearing a red wedding dress tonight, your eyes, red and swollen from my words, are the most beautiful dowry in the world.
And I, although I don't wear a red dress, I bought this dress together, and you have the same set.
This set of red porcelain vases and a pair of porcelain cups, unparalleled in the world, are fired by me for you, and the peach blossoms on the body of the bottle are also painted by me for you. Because of the spring of last year, on the bank of the Peach Blossom Creek in the Yudu of the Song Kingdom, you fell from the flower tree into my arms. Full of petals, full of you.
When you disguise yourself as a man, I disguise myself as a broken sleeve to accompany you. When you restore your daughter, I will divide a scoop of my wedding wine and pour you half a cup. In this life and in this life, you can be someone else's wife, but in my heart I have already married you.
Near the river and Chushui, on the bank of the willows, it is not the catkins that fly outside the canopy boat, but the rare goose feather snow in Chudi.
Jiang Feng lifted the corner of the curtain of the ship, and Shu'er saw the heavy snow outside the boat, so he said: "It's late, and it's snowing so heavily, General Jing Ning should go back to the military camp outside the city to rest early." ”
Lin Ying looked at the heavy snow outside the boat, shook her head and said, "It's better to wait for the snow to stop, and then I'll leave." Then he scratched his head and smiled: "Sister Shu'er, this is cold and snowy, the road is slippery, I'm afraid of falling!" ”
Shu'er glared at him helplessly with red and swollen eyes. Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying, if your father is not King Sheng, I really don't know what year and month the title of "General Jing Ning" will be ranked on you?
At this time, three small pebbles were thrown onto the awning boat.
Lin Ying's ears were clear, and then she asked, "Is it because you Qi ** have any urgent military affairs?" Someone came looking for you? ”
Shu'er nodded and said, "It's my lieutenant, Sun Kuo." You wrote to me to meet me, and I left the Qi ** camp to meet you, so I told General Sun that if there is military business, he will throw three stones and tell us to return to the shore. ”
Lin Ying got up and said, "Okay." You sit in the middle of the boat, and don't let outsiders see you, I've seen you here. So he walked out of the black canopy, dressed in white, and rowed the boat that had drifted off the shore alone in the heavy snow back to the willow bank not far away.
Sun Kuo walked on the boat and saluted Lin Ying: "General Jing Ning, under Sun Kuo, is General Yan's deputy general, and he has military affairs. ”
Shu'er saw that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn't bear to let Lin Ying leave in the snow, so she lifted the curtain of the black canopy and beckoned to Sun Kuo: "General Sun, please come in and talk." King Sheng secretly helped my Qi army enter the Song Dynasty, and General Jing Ning even had eight friendships with me, ten years of friendship, and was not an outsider. Sun Kuo and Lin Ying walked into the black tent one after the other and sat opposite Shu'er.
Sun Kuo glanced at Lin Ying and said to Shu'er: "The military report is from King Sheng's mansion, and it was reported by the spies planted by King Sheng in the Song Kingdom, and General Jing Ning is indeed not an outsider. ”
Shu'er said: "General Sun, please speak." ”
Sun Kuo said: "The Patriotic Alliance entered the Song Realm from Xiling, has passed the Song State Xunfeng County, and is attacking Longshun County with all its might. However, the king of Song did not save Longshun County, but instead transferred all the 60,000 troops of the king of Pingchang in the northwest to Dongyang, Jing'an, as if he had seen through our plan to take Dongyang directly. ”
Shu'er frowned and asked, "The Patriotic Allied Army has added 10,000 troops and more than 1,000 horses in Xunfeng County, and now it is fighting in Longshun, how many casualties?" ”
Sun Kuo said: "The alliance leader is good at fighting, the soldiers are brave, and the guards do not suffer many casualties, and they are invincible in Longshun County. But they didn't have the secret military report of King Sheng's mansion, so I am afraid that they didn't know that King Song wanted to abandon Longshun and try his best to protect Jing'an. There will be 60,000 new ambushes near Jing'an Dongyang, and even if the guards have no casualties, even if they gather the old Qi Wei people in Longshun County, they will definitely not have as many as 60,000 when they arrive in Dongyang. Moreover, the army of the Pingchang palace of the Song State was extremely brave during the Chen and Song wars, and the lone army resisted the army of the Chen State, and now it has set up an ambush in Jing'an, the enemy is in the dark, and the guards are in the light...... When the guards enter Jing'an County, they must be more than lucky!
