Chapter 55: Pairs
The days passed plainly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye. In the past half a month, Zhao Yuru's life has become more and more tense, and he was arrested and practiced almost every day before dawn, and he dragged his tired body home until sunset. Zhao Yujing and Zhao Guanming's faces became worse and worse, even if they were as dull as her, they could detect that the situation had changed.
"Is it possible, there is going to be a war?" On this day, she was rarely relaxed for a while, and then slipped to the champion mansion to find Song Moqing.
Song Moqing said lightly while writing: "The ceremony is coming soon, and you see that the lights have begun to be put up and down." At that time, Lord Qi Yun will go back to Beijing to celebrate, and by the way, the transfer of military power in the north will be carried out, and there is a chance that it will be your Zhao family. So it's not surprising that Lord Zhao would be nervous! ”
"If it's our house, does that mean I'm going to the north?" Zhao Yuru asked with wide eyes.
Song Moqing stopped the pen in his hand, nodded and said, "Yes@"
"Ahh What about you? ”
"Me?" Song Moqing was stunned for a moment, revealing a wry smile.
"It depends on the decision of the saint, now I am a Shaoqing in Honglu Temple, and I will ······ when the time comes"
"No way!" Zhao Yuru hugged his small waist and said: "I will marry a chicken with a chicken, and marry a dog with a dog!" Where you are, I'll be there! Where is the reason to separate newlyweds? ”
Song Moqing broke Zhao Yuru's hand with an embarrassed expression and said, "Maybe the marriage date can be extended, it's okay!" ”
"Who said that?" Zhao Yuru looked at Song Moqing, picked up the paperweight on the table and pointed at him and said, "Do you want to regret it?" Don't want to marry me anymore? ”
"No, no!" Song Moqing waved his hand and said, "Miss Zhao, you misunderstood, I just don't want you to be embarrassed between private affairs and national affairs!" ”
"You are my big thing, and other things are not a big deal in my heart!" With that, she peeled a grape and almost forced it into his mouth.
Song Moqing could be described as forcing a smile, he put down the pen in his hand and sighed.
Zhao Yuru poked his head over and found that it was a pair of uplink.
"The white snake spits out a red flame at the mouth of the river."
"Yo, that's interesting!" She ate a grape and said, "Did you think of it?" ”
"No, it's the emperor's question for me, this is not only a couplet, but also a riddle!" Song Moqing put down the pen, sat on the chair and said: "The emperor said, whoever can match the next couplet and solve the riddle will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold!" ”
"Fifty taels!" Zhao Yuru's eyes widened and said, "Don't you understand that Zhuangyuanlang?" ”
Song Moqing said slightly apologetically: "I'm not good at pairs, but the emperor has an order, and I can only copy it back first like the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and think about it!" ”
"I'm afraid this is not from some master!" Zhao Yuru thought about it for a while, and then had the answer in his heart.
"It's true, it was given to the saint by Master Mu Chen of the Reclining Buddha Temple. The saint went up to ask for confusion in his heart, he only gave this uplink, and said that only when the saint understood this pair could he know what to do next. ”
"Can it still be like this?" Zhao Yuru said with some contempt: "Okay, bring this gold, I will be seven and you three!" ”
As he spoke, he took the pen in his hand and wrote the following couplet on the side.
"The green dragon hangs on the wall and is covered with 10,000 gold stars."
When Song Moqing saw it, his eyes instantly straightened!
"Oh my God! Really, absolutely! He grabbed Zhao Yuru's shoulder ecstatically and said, "Miss Zhao, you are really amazing!" How did you come up with the idea? It's amazing! ”
"Now you know how powerful your daughter-in-law is, right?" Zhao Yuru clapped her hands proudly, then dried the ink on the paper, handed it to Song Moqing and said, "Hurry up and take it to the palace to exchange money!" ”
"Oh, yes, yes! What Miss Zhao said is that the emperor must be very happy to know that this pair has been matched! Just ······" He paused and said, "What are these two sentences talking about?" ”
"The white snake spits out a red flame at the mouth of the river, this is talking about a lamp!"
"That's right!" Song Moqing suddenly realized, isn't this a wax in the lamp?
"The green dragon hanging on the wall is covered with 10,000 points of Venus, which is talking about the scale!"
Song Moqing patted his head, turned to Zhao Yuru and made a deep gesture.
"In vain, I have been studying the sage book for more than ten years, and I have a champion title, which is not as good as half of the talent you know as the head of Zhao!"
"Don't be modest, you grew up in the Taishi Mansion since you were a child, although you are under the fence, but you also have no worries about food and clothing. Even if you guess the upper link, the lower link may not be known. How have you ever weighed such a thing as a scale? It's not a bookkeeper, it's not a vegetable seller, it's not surprising that you can't guess! Zhao Yuru casually shook his hand and said: "What are you still stunned about, take it into the palace, don't be the first to be taken, first out of the next link!" ”
"Good!" Song Moqing hurriedly rolled up the couplet, hurriedly walked out, took less than two steps, and came back in a hurry.
"What are you doing back?" Zhao Yuru asked puzzled.
"I don't think that's going to work!" Song Moqing shook his head and said, "This is Miss Zhao, you are the right pair, I can't be greedy!" Let's go into the palace together! ”
"I'm not going!" Zhao Yuru smiled and waved her hand, she had never been to this palace, and she didn't know what the rules should be. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if something went wrong.
"No! A must go! But Song Moqing grabbed Zhao Yuru's hand and ran out with her without saying anything.
This is the first time he took the initiative to hold Zhao Yuru's hand, and on weekdays, Zhao Yuru put her hands on him, hugging and hugging, and she didn't feel much in her heart. But recently, he suddenly took the initiative to hold his hand, and for some reason, she felt a tingling touch from her fingertips, and until she reached her heart, she had goosebumps all over her body!
By the time she came to her senses, the two were already sitting in the carriage.
And their hands are still holding tightly!
"Champion Lang, are you reluctant to let go of my hand?" Zhao Yuru smiled shyly, and Song Moqing reacted at this time, he was still holding Zhao Yuru!
"I'm sorry!" He hurriedly let go of his hand and said, "I didn't mean to! I ······"
"Oh, I don't blame you!" Zhao Yuru hurriedly grabbed the hand he wanted to withdraw and clenched it tightly.
"I just like you holding me! If you get married in the future, no, even if you don't get married, when you see me in the future, you will come to hold me! ”
Song Moqing's face blushed to the base of his neck, he shook his head and said, "No, no, it's immoral!" Mr. Zhao, you are a daughter's family, you still have to pay attention to it outside! ”
"We are an unmarried couple, what is there to pay attention to?"
Song Moqing still shook his head vigorously and said: "Don't look at incivility, don't listen to incivility, don't say incivility, don't move incivility!" ”
"Annoying!" Zhao Yuru shook off his hand and said, "But I like you as a nerd!" ”
Song Moqing lowered his head, and only asked after a while: "Sect Leader Zhao, I have a question that I am a little puzzled about. ”
"Say!"
"Don't be surprised!"
"Speak quickly!"
Song Moqing swallowed his saliva and said boldly: "I heard in the past that the head of Sect Zhao is taciturn, and your martial arts are strong, but your literary skills are slightly inferior. On weekdays, he also abides by etiquette very strictly, but why ······"
"Well, this ······" Zhao Yuru scratched his head and said, "It's all someone else's words, I just don't want to communicate with those unnecessary people." Martial arts are strong, that, it's quite strong, you'll know it later. Wencai is not a good-looking thing that people can see through at a glance. Could it be that I recite a poem in front of people when I have nothing to do on weekdays? It's all prejudice! It's all a fallacy! ”
"Oh······" Song Moqing nodded as if she didn't understand.
"O Champion Lang, you have to believe what you see with your own eyes, and don't listen to the words that come from other people's mouths. In a word, after the spread of several people, and then in your ears, it has long changed its taste! You have to believe that your fiancée, Zhao Yuru, is like me! ”
"Taught!" Song Moqing seemed to be empowered, and made a gesture towards Zhao Yuru again.
"Also, I'm intimate with you because I like you, because you're my fiancé. Do you think I'd do this to other men? ”
The sentence "I like you" made Song Moqing blush again.
"Thank you Mr. Zhao for your kindness!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Zhao Yuru waved his hand and said, "As long as you continue to be obedient in the future, I will continue to love you!" ”
When Song Moqing heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Yuru smiled, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out.
Many of the women on the street quietly put on men's clothes, and some of them also wore swords, which looked very chic.
Needless to say, it must have been Lin Yufu's head.
After she returned to Qinyunju, she still liked to wear men's clothes, and sometimes she would dance a set of swordsmanship on a whim. Needless to say, such behavior has naturally been sought after by countless people, and everyone says that she is extraordinary, suitable for both men and women, and a natural stunner.
"Oh, I didn't expect that she was still a natural Qinglou woman!" Zhao Yuru muttered in a low voice.
"Miss Zhao, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, these people are all imitating Lin Yufu!"
Song Moqing opened the curtain and looked at it, smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Miss Yufu is the object of imitation by women in Beijing." Her clogs were all the rage before, and the sound of bells could be heard everywhere on the street. Later, when traveling with Tao Wangye, the long hairpin on his head also aroused the yearning of the women in Beijing! ”
Zhao Yuru listened, but he didn't expect Song Moqing to know so much about himself.
"You······ Why do you care so much about Lin Yufu? Could it be that you like her? ”
"Nothing!" Song Moqing hurriedly shook his head and said, "Yes······ It was Miss Xu who was imitating, and I just found out! She admired Miss Yufu at the time. But now ······"
He didn't say any more, Zhao Yuru knew that Lin Yufu had this incident in the Taishi Mansion now, and Xu Zhaoyi had no good impression of her.
Although the rumors about her and Xu Shu'an were quickly extinguished, the people in the Taishi Mansion were still suspicious of her. Xu Zhaoyi was also imprisoned by the Taishi for a few days, just because she made the decision without permission and invited some indiscriminate people to return home.
"Hey, I didn't figure it out, so I buttoned her hat. That's it, it's also prejudice! Zhao Yuru sighed, looked at the well-behaved Song Moqing, and said with a smile: "Zhuangyuanlang, have you seen Lin Yufu before?" ”
Song Moqing was stunned for a moment, raised his head, nodded and said, "I've seen it once!" ”
"Oh?"
"On my first day, I had the pleasure of seeing it once! But just a silhouette. Song Moqing pondered, just a silhouette can make people haunted by dreams, and they don't think about tea and dinner.
Zhao Yuru didn't expect that Song Moqing had actually seen herself and remembered it for so long.
"At that time, did you think that you hoped that your future wife could be so beautiful? But I didn't expect to meet me! ”
"I definitely didn't think about it!" Song Moqing waved his hand and said, "Don't be arrogant to Sect Leader Zhao!" ”
"yes, you can't be presumptuous!" Zhao Yuru squeezed out a smile, stepped forward and hugged Song Moqing and said, "We are a natural pair!" Better than that pair! ”
The carriage drove into the palace, and Yan Linyu heard that someone had made that pair, so he hurriedly asked people to come in.
Song Moqing and Zhao Yuru walked in one after the other.
"Two Aiqing, but there is a link?"
"Emperor Qi, Mr. Zhao is talented and intelligent, and he has already made the next couplet, and solved the mystery corresponding to the couplet."
"Oh?"
Yan Linyu couldn't wait to unfold the couplet, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be amazed!
"Good! It's really great! Zhao Aiqing, how did you come up with it? ”
"Back to the emperor, Weichen likes pairs on weekdays!" Zhao Yuru knelt down and said, "It's just a coincidence." ”
The answer to the mystery had been written on paper, but Yan Linyu still fell into deep thought.
"Why, it's the lamp and the scale?"
Zhao Yuru shrugged, thinking that she didn't know this, who knew what Yan Linyu was asking?
"Zhao Aiqing, what do you think?"
"Huh?" Zhao Yuru was stunned, then looked at Song Moqing, then at Yan Linyu, and then casually said with a reason.
"Master Mu Chen is a high-ranking monk, maybe he wants to tell the emperor that he wants to be the light of the people of the Great Swallow and illuminate all the darkness. Be a scale for the people of the world and measure all the injustices in the world! ”
She thought, it can't be wrong to pat the ass like this, right?
And after she finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell silent, Yan Linyu sat back on the dragon chair, and after a long time, muttered to herself: "So that's the case, I understand!" ”
Zhao Yuru knelt for a long time, felt a little pain in his knees, and didn't dare to stand up, so he could only raise his head and look at Yan Linyu.
He was still pondering, and he had no intention of waking her up.
Just when Zhao Yuru felt his knees tingle, a childish voice broke the silence.
"Father! Father, I'm coming! ”
She followed the sound and saw that it was a little girl with pigtails. And the little girl was followed by the eldest princess of Anguo!
"Xu'er!" Yan Linyu came back to his senses at this time, showed a smile, and stretched out his hand to pick up the little girl who ran towards him.
This is Princess Suyin, she's still young, so she hasn't been titled yet, and she's been calling her name.
"See the emperor!" The eldest princess of Anguo saluted, glanced at Zhao Yuru, and quickly looked away.
"Well, you wait a minute, I'll tell you something later!"
"Yes!"
"Father, my aunt took me to fly a kite today!" Suyin said in a milky voice: "The kite is so high, and Su'er also wants to fly high!" ”
"Really?" Yan Linyu scratched her nose and said, "Then when Xu'er grows up, my father will build you a big kite and let you fly!" ”
"Okay!" The princess clapped her hands and smiled, Zhao Yuru saw it in her eyes, and she also felt very fresh. I didn't expect the emperor to be such a loving father!
She remembered that Lin Yufu said that Princess Suyin's biological mother had a low status and passed away not long after giving birth to the princess. The princess has always been raised by the concubine, and in addition, the one who takes care of her the most is the eldest princess of Anguo!
Since their brother and sister have something to say, it is inconvenient for their two ministers to be here. After Zhao Yuru took the gold, he happily retired with Song Moqing.
And the gaze of the eldest princess of An Guo kept following Zhao Yuru to leave, and then slowly retracted it.
Yan Linyu said coldly while holding the child: "Are you still thinking about him?" ”
"Nope!" The eldest princess of An Guo smiled faintly and said: "It's all old things, I don't want to think about it for a long time!" ”
"That's best, remember, I didn't think about giving marriage at the beginning, but he refused!"
"I understand!" The eldest princess of An Guo took a deep breath and said, "I also respect his choice!" ”
"That's the best!" Yan Linyu nodded, then put down Princess Suyin and said, "Su'er, you go outside to play with Mama for a while!" My father has something to tell my aunt! ”
"Good!" The little princess nodded obediently, and then jumped away.
The hall immediately fell silent again, and this silence made Princess An Guo feel very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"
"You're nineteen, aren't you?"
"Yes!" The eldest princess of An Guo said coldly: "Does the imperial brother want to marry me again?" ”
Yan Linyu didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.
"Brother Huang, you obviously know that no matter who you marry, there is only one end for the horse. Besides, who else would dare to marry me now in Beijing? ”
"I can understand the hardships of you not wanting to get married, all these years, you and Ah Huan have done these things behind my back, and I don't know it!"
Hearing this, the eldest princess of An Guo sneered and said, "Aren't those people I married a thorn in your side, brother Huang?" You did it on purpose, with my Kefu life, to get rid of the threat in your eyes! ”
Yan Linyu's face was dark and he didn't speak.
"So who are you going to get rid of this time, brother? I don't mind taking another human life! ”
Yan Linyu picked up a piece of paper, threw it casually, and threw it in front of her.
"This time, if you really have a Kefu life, you will really help me!"
The eldest princess of Anguo glanced at Yan Linyu suspiciously, leaned down and picked up the paper, and after a hurried glance, her face changed!
"Brother Huang?"
"The third prince of the Northern Barbarians was canonized as the crown prince five days ago, and now he is seeking Princess Dayan as the concubine! Look at our Dayan, the princess of the right age, you are the only one! Yan Linyu said coldly: "Go, my good sister!" ”
