At noon, although the warm winter sun is not warm, it also dispels a lot of chill.

The severe cold has passed, the spring has arrived, the buds of the wildflowers on the roadside are full of bulging, and they will rise out if they are not careful, and the branches begin to smoke a little green shoots.

A group of dozens of people walked on the road, the first one was a Confucian scholar, the rest dozens were all sergeants, and a female guard about twenty years old.

The group of people walking on this quiet country road was very conspicuous, and everyone looked sideways, surprised where everyone went.

The children in the village were very curious, and they trotted all the way to follow, and a few children shouted in front of them to open the way.

The sergeant's leader, a man of about thirty years of age, was quite kind, and when he saw so many children with him, he asked the maid to fetch some candy and give it to the children. It's all fashionable candy that you can't usually see, and now the children are even happier.

When the group arrived at Tan's house and entered the courtyard, Honeysuckle closed the gate, blocking the curious eyes outside, and everyone dispersed.

When Tan Jun saw the man in charge, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Excuse me, you are Mr. Fang Cheng."

"Exactly."

Fang Cheng is already in his fifties, and he doesn't look like a Confucian master, but he has a bit of fairy wind and Taoist bones, which makes people not know whether he is practicing Confucianism or Taoism.

He is a great Confucian in the world, a figure like a master, and a master respected by scholars all over the world. On weekdays, he lectures at Yuelu Academy, and has countless disciples and extraordinary achievements.

Ten years ago, he gave a lecture in Beijing, and the Emperor Taishang brought His Majesty, who was still a child, and a group of royal children to listen to the lecture, which is still passed down as a beautiful talk. Tan Jun once listened to his lectures with his senior brother in Yuelu.

Tan Yin was also surprised when she knew that it was Fang Cheng, but Yang Che's personal guard Yang Wu, who surprised her even more, was also among them, and he greeted her with squeezing eyes.

Tan Jun and his wife asked Tan Yin to come to visit, Fang Cheng saw that Tan Yin had a beautiful face, natural manners, and a generous demeanor, with both a scholarly atmosphere and a simple style, and secretly praised her.

The couple welcomed Fang Cheng into the living room, and let Yang Wuyi and a few people go to the side room to rest.

Tan Yin saw his parents talking with Fang Cheng in the hall, it was self-evident who he was here and what he was, but he didn't know what they were talking about.

……

Yang Wu led dozens of soldiers, all of whom were strong and well-trained. As soon as they saw Tan Yin coming, they all stood up straight, did not squint, and saluted in a row. The female guard was sassy and heroic, and she looked like a practitioner.

She called Yang Wu out alone, and the two walked across the courtyard to the other side.

Tan Yin asked, "What's going on?" How did you get here? ”

I haven't seen her for half a year, Tan Yin seems to have taken off a few traces of childishness and become more mature, like a spring rose, although it is not gorgeous enough, but it is also dark fragrance alone.

"Miss Tan, how did I get here, don't you think about it?" Yang Wu said with a smile, sighing for his own Hou Ye in his heart.

Tan Yin saw that although he was in good spirits, he couldn't hide the dust, and his face was black and mushy, as if he hadn't washed it for a long time. The beard is unshaven, it has not been shaved for a long time, and the clothes are dusty, and the original color has long been lost.

"You came directly from Hexi?"

According to more than 3,000 miles in Hexi, even if it is a day and night, it will take more than 20 days.

Yang Wu nodded, "We just captured Liangzhou and Yundan Racecourse, and we were afraid that the enemy army would come back, and Master Hou couldn't take half a step, so he ordered me to come." ”

Tan Yin bit her lip, "That...... Then Hexi is fine! ”

Yang Wu was very happy to see that she was worried about her Hou Ye, and hurriedly comforted: "Hou Ye originally wanted to come in person, but now that the situation in the northwest is in the northwest, he can't leave half a step, so he will repair a letter and ask me to invite Mr. Fang." ”

"That ......"

"Oh, Master Hou asked me to give you this jade pendant."

Looking at the white jade pendant of the fish play lotus leaf in Shangjing Wu Shangzhai, "family harmony and beauty, auspiciousness and joy", the sound is still in my ears.

Yang Wu sighed deliberately, frowned and said: "Hey, although it was a big victory this time, after capturing Liangzhou, the enemy attacked and assassinated him several times, but the last time, Hou Ye ......" stopped in the middle of his words.

Tan Yin asked in surprise: "How is he?" ”

Yang Wu was shocked when he saw her, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou was stabbed in the arm, fortunately, there is no big problem, just recuperate." ”

Tan Yin patted her chest and exclaimed, "That's good, that's good." ”

"It's just ......," Yang Wu continued.

"Just what?" Tan Yin's heart rose to her throat again.

"It's just that I look at the deep hole in the wound, my mother, I'm about to see the bones. The military doctor changed his dressing, he was in pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Hou Ye was silent, who didn't admire him as a man. ”

Yang Wu looked at Tan Yin and continued: "The military doctor is rude in the end, if only there was a caring person to take care of it. How can our big men be so thoughtful. Lian Sang, the woman who came with me, also fights and kills with us all day long, not to mention taking care of people. ”

Tan Yin finally knew what he was thinking, and glanced at Yang Wu, not knowing how true or false what he said.

Yang Wu said with a hippie smile: "I said Miss Ayin, our Hou Ye thinks about you day and night, I heard what Mr. Xu said about the turtledove, and the five flavors are begging...... Strange, why is it five flavors, not six flavors......."

Tan Yin's face turned red, turned around and ran back to the house, and slammed the door shut.

"Miss Ayin, don't go! I still have a lot to say! Yang Wu pulled his throat in the back.

"Stop shouting, don't you see that the girls are all red! Beware of angering her. Lian Sang shook his head and said mockingly.

"What do you know, don't look at Hou Ye as a frequent visitor to Qinglou Tiles, but there are some things that Hou Ye will never say. This girl is too difficult to impress, a heavenly figure like Hou Ye, is willing not to ......" Yang Wu shook his head with a scheming look in his chest.

Lian Sang was puzzled: "Then do you say it can be done this time?" We came all the way over, if we returned in vain, how should we explain to Master Hou. ”

Yang Wu smiled proudly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and his two eyes narrowed into a line, "Xiao Liansang, you don't know this, this time you will be allowed to go." ”

......

Fang Cheng and Tan Jun sat in the hall, and such a powerful figure came to see him in person, Tan Jun's heart was indescribably excited.

The host and guest greeted each other for a long time, discussing some knowledge, Tan Jun asked for advice like a primary school student, Fang Cheng gave an explanation, Tan Jun nodded every time, and had a sense of epiphany.

Mrs. Tan looked at her husband like this and coughed a few times, for fear that he would forget the topic.

"I don't know what happened when Mr. came from afar?"

Fang Cheng said with a smile: "This time I came here for my student Yang Che to ask Ling Ai. ”

Tan Jun looked at Mrs. Tan, and when the two saw Fang Cheng coming, they actually had a premonition.

It has always been rumored that Yang Che did not have a close relationship with the Fang Sect brothers, especially when he abandoned literature and martial arts, and was appreciated by the East Palace, people in the same sect broke off relations with him one after another, and there were even rumors that Fang Cheng did not recognize him.

Fang Cheng seemed to know what Tan Jun was thinking, and said with a smile: "He has always been a member of our sect. The world has spread falsehoods, and there are so many absurd words! Although my temperament is not soft enough as a student, I have always trusted it to learn talents. ”

Tan Jun nodded solemnly, if he can get Fang Cheng's own words, what else is there to beak about.

"Mr. can say this, and the Marquis of Zhenbei is so talented and good-looking, the Tan family is really too high-climbing. It's just that the little girl grew up in the countryside, and she is used to being free and loose, and she doesn't understand the etiquette of the eunuch's house, so she is afraid that she will disappoint the Hou Ye. ”

Tan Jun's words are very sincere, when they come back this time, how can the couple not know their daughter's true thoughts, but parents are always worried about their children.

Fang Cheng listened to him and knew that he was not an excuse, but was just worried about his daughter's future life.

"Why should Master Tan be humble. I think Ling Aisu has the wind of the forest, and there is something she can't deal with, and isn't there Yang Che! It is easy to get a daughter, and it is rare to have a lover. ”

The couple looked at each other, knowing that Yang Che had affection for his daughter, and that it was his mentor who personally protected the media, so they agreed.

Fang Cheng saw that the big thing had been decided, and he was happy for the students. He also proposed that the Hexi War was eventful, and it would be difficult to come back to marry for a while, and proposed that he wanted to take Tan Yin to marry in the past.

Tan Jun and his wife were reluctant, but when they thought that if Yang Che came back in a year or two, wouldn't they have to make trouble again and ruin their daughter's youth! Seeing that Yang Che had already sent a team of men and horses, including female guards, it seemed that he was ready, so he agreed.

……

Yang Wu brought out the dowry, one load after another, gold, silver jewelry, silk and satin, although it was expensive, the Tan family was not surprised, and they would not value it.

But when they saw the two things, Tan Jun and his wife's doubts dissipated without a trace.

One is the pair of white jade bracelets, Mrs. Tan's dowry, which was given by Yang Che in order to thank Yang Che when she went to Beijing, but she didn't expect to come back after going around and around. Thinking about it now, it seems to mean a lot to him to receive this jade bracelet at that time.

There was also a dowry gift that turned out to be a pair of white jade geese. The ancients used geese as a dowry, but today people don't use it.

The wild goose has a deep affection, a lifetime companion, unswervingly, he takes this as a dowry, and the meaning is self-evident.

Although the couple was reluctant to marry their daughter so far away, Mrs. Tan cried for several days, but they had to hurry up and prepare.

The couple prepared all kinds of things for their daughter, and Mrs. Tan couldn't wait to bring half of the family to her.

But the road is far away, so I can only pick up some valuables and bring them there. Fortunately, I let Honeysuckle accompany me, and there are people to take care of me on the way.

The two were worried about their safety on the road, but looking at these guards, their muscles are stretched, their bodies are athletic, their swords are sonorous, and they are all tiger and wind when they walk.

Yang Wu said that they were all Hou Ye's personal soldiers, and they were very skilled, although the road was far away, there was nothing to worry about, and they agreed to leave for Hexi at the end of the month.

The originally leisurely life suddenly became tense, and Tan Yin was full of apprehension about the upcoming trip to Hexi.

At the end of the eighteen phases, in the ripples and tears of the mother and the inseparability of the father, he has to embark on a new journey, run to the unknown distance, and start a new life.
