Chapter 105: Red Face and Troubled Water
In August, the weather is hot, and the sun seems to scorch people.
A large number of troops moved from Yingzhou to Liangzhou along the Hexi Corridor, dusty along the way, but the army was neat, disciplined, and energetic.
Tan Yin and the ladies moved to Liangzhou with the army.
Yang Che was busy with military affairs after marriage, and he was still not idle after marriage, and frequently traveled back and forth between Yingzhou and Liangzhou. Tan Yin knew that it was for her to run around so much, and she was very distressed, and she had persuaded him not to work so hard, but Yang Che smiled and said that it was not in the way.
Finally, more than four months after coming to Hexi, the Liangzhou military camp was settled, and the situation in the city was extremely stable.
Honeysuckle Yue Niang and Tan Yin were huddled in a carriage, beads of sweat running down their cheeks.
The carriage moved forward step by step, Tan Yin opened the curtain and looked at this big channel of east-west exchanges and changes history.
The corridor is only a few miles at its narrowest point and hundreds of miles wide at its widest point.
There are mountains on both sides, and to the south is the Qilian Mountain, which is described countless times in the book. The snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all year round, and when the sun shines, it looks like the residence of the gods. Or like a young girl, dressed in golden red clothes, showing her most beautiful side to all beings.
The river flows from west to east along the corridor, nourishing the land and people on both sides.
Lian Sang said: "The Heihe River originates from the snow water of the Qilian Mountain, and the people here regard the Qilian Mountain as a sacred mountain and the Heihe River as a sacred river. ”
To the vast grassland, under the blue sky and white clouds, I saw the wrangler galloping on his horse, driving thousands of horses and sheep, the horse was extremely tall and handsome, Tan Yin and Honeysuckle were very surprised.
Tan Yin excitedly asked Lian Sang: "Is this just that the sky is vast and the grass is blowing, and the cattle and sheep are low." ”
Lian Sang said with a smile: "Madame was pleasantly surprised to see this, the more you go to Liangzhou, the bigger the place, and the grassland is endless." The Heihe River has nourished countless of the best horse farms in the Northwest, and Yundan Horse Farm is the largest and best horse farm, with fertile water and grass and strong horses. ”
Honeysuckle suddenly pointed to the big bird flying in the sky and said, "Look, what is that." ”
Lian Sang glanced at it and said: "That's an eagle, if the people here give birth to a son, others will come to congratulate him and say that they hope he can be as vigorous as an eagle and soar in the sky." ”
"Although the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Nong's soft language and outstanding people are excellent, compared to the majestic and vast, indomitable, it still has to be in our northwest. Wait for the Hou Ye to be empty, let him take you to see, and Mrs. will understand what it means to have great beauty in heaven and earth. She said proudly.
From time to time, caravans were seen passing through, and horses were carrying heavy goods, and the Silk Road had gradually become large.
……
Yang Che chose a medium-sized mansion as the general's mansion, which was originally the mansion of the Tongzhi of Liangzhou in Great Xia, which was smaller than the prefect's mansion.
The Liangzhou General's Mansion is a three-entry courtyard, one into the courtyard to receive foreign guests, the middle courtyard is Yang Che's office, and the backyard is the living place for the two.
When Tan Yin arrived, Yang Che was still in the barracks, and Uncle Chen was already waiting for her. He had been here half a month early to clean up.
Uncle Chen took her to the backyard living room first, and Honeysuckle was about to pack up the things she brought, and Uncle Chen was going to take them to another room.
Uncle Chen led them to the east wing, the room was extremely spacious, about four zhang long and two zhang wide, and it was empty.
Tan Yinhu said suspiciously: "Uncle Chen, is this room going to be a storage room or what, why is it so empty?" ”
Seeing Madame's puzzled eyes, Uncle Chen asked: "Madame still likes this room, it's quite cool here, you can see the flowers and plants in the courtyard from the west window, you can see the back garden from the north window, and the south window can get the sun in winter, and it must be very comfortable to read a book on the couch." ”
"Master Hou specially asked me to make out the most secluded and best view room in the mansion and make a study for Mrs." Uncle Chen saw that Tan Yin didn't quite understand, so he smiled.
Set her up in a separate study? Tan Yin's eyes widened, but Honeysuckle was not surprised.
……
Jiangnan is thousands of miles away, and Tan Yin only brought a few medical books and travelogues.
The northwest is a production area of precious medicinal materials, there are many precious prescriptions, after coming to Hexi, Tan Yin bought a lot of medical books and devoted herself to study, and often was fascinated by the wonderful places.
In the summer, she was sleepy in the afternoon, and several times she fell asleep watching from the couch. There were two medical books and a letter scattered on the side.
Yang Che once came back very early, entered the room, and saw that she was sleeping soundly, with bamboo mat marks on her cheeks, the wind blowing in through the open window, and her hair and skirt swaying in the wind, she was happy.
Seeing that she slept soundly, but in the end she was afraid that she would catch a cold, Yang Che carried her to the bed to rest. He put the book away again, and when he saw the open letter on the couch, he hesitated for a moment, picked it up and read it.
He asked about Honeysuckle Tan Yin's recent condition, and Honeysuckle had to add fuel and vinegar and said that his girl watched it in the daylight during the day and the light at night, and only when he came back didn't look at it.
also boasted about her medical skills, saying that she had followed Mrs. Tan since she was a child to see women and children in ten miles and eight towns, and the people around her liked her, and said that Tan Yin had loved reading since she was a child.
Yang Che asked Tan Yin what kind of study she liked. Honeysuckle thought about it, and said that Tan Yin had mentioned the quiet house of Jiaye Thatched Cottage many times, and she was envious of it.
……
"I don't know what Madame likes, and I have to bother Madame to go to the treasury to choose the furniture and decoration in the house. If you don't like it, go to the market and buy it again. ”
With a bang, seeing Uncle Chen's smiling appearance, Tan Yin was also stunned by the great joy, cleared her throat embarrassedly, and took Honeysuckle to the treasury for a long time as if nothing happened.
I went to the market again and picked out a rebounding pipa flying figurine, Daqin silverware, and a colorful tapestry of entwined grapes, and decorated my study.
Tan Yin looked at the courtyard through the window of the study, and there was a rose planted in the yard, with green leaves, presumably next spring will be purple and red again.
That day, when Yang Che came back, Tan Yin smiled very happily, and her eyebrows and eyes were not straight.
"I knew that a study room would make you so happy, and I arranged it for you when I was in Yingzhou." Yang Che said with a smile.
"It's not too late, I like this study."
"Let's make do with it! When the world is peaceful and there is no war, we will find a place near the lake and build a quiet house for you, with flowers in spring, lotus fish in summer, red leaves in autumn, and clear snow in winter. ”
Tan Yin was described by him like this, and it seemed that he had been in a quiet house, watching the scenery around, but how could the beautiful scenery at four o'clock match him beside him.
"If there is no you, what if there is a quiet house, if there is you, where is not a quiet house."
Yang Che smiled when he heard this, it was even more beautiful than the lotus flowers that bloomed that summer.
"Do you have news from Zhao Xu, how is he?" Referring to Jinglu, Tan Yin asked.
Seeing Yang Che looking at her, Tan Yin said angrily: "What? Do you still want to eat Zhao Xu's vinegar? ”
"How dare you, I don't have Jinglu now, it's too late to envy!"
"Your Majesty admires him a lot, and let him be the imperial attendant, this position can be described as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, I don't know how many people dream of it. But he did it well, did it for half a year, and proposed to go to other places to be a county magistrate, and His Majesty had agreed to let him go to Taoyuan County, Hunan as a county magistrate. ”
"Then, will Your Majesty be angry?" Tan Yin was a little anxious when she heard this.
"How can Your Majesty be angry, this is the future good minister."
Tan Yin was relieved when she heard this.
She suddenly thought of Yang Che's words just now, and her intention moved, and asked, "Xueyuan, if you don't fight, do you want to go into hiding?" ”
"Do you want me to go into seclusion or do you want me to come and pay homage?" Yang Che chuckled.
"I want you to pick your favorite." Tan Yin was moved.
Yang Che hugged her and said: "It is also my duty to be able to keep the iron hooves of Daxia and Dajing outside the territory of Dazhao, to ensure the safety of the people, and to live up to the two masters back then." Your Majesty is a wise man, and he has the grace of Bole to me, and it is also my life's wish to be able to build great achievements with them. ”
"But after marrying you, it always feels like time is very short with you. You advised me not to go back and forth, and this little toil on the way back and forth is nothing compared to the joy of seeing you. ”
"I often think that boating on the lake with you, enjoying flowers and wine, and watching the beautiful scenery at four o'clock should be a happy thing in life, and I am looking forward to and yearning for it."
Tan Yin chuckled: "Then wouldn't I be a red face and a disaster, I don't have that posture." ”
"You are my red face and trouble, and I am willing to be harmed by you." Yang Che pecked her cheek lightly.
