Chapter 302
Zhou Yi withdrew from the imperial study with the roster, he could no longer participate in the next meeting of the palace monarchs and ministers to discuss the transfer of the army, the matter of military requisition, Sejong asked him to leave Beijing tomorrow, then he had to prepare his bags overnight, and he had to inform the generals who were set by Shizong in the roster and went with him to prepare to leave Beijing.
After returning home, Zhou Yi ordered his own soldiers to find someone according to the roster.
"General," a close aide of Zhou Yi who looked at the roster suddenly pointed to the roster and said to Zhou Yi, "Shangguan Yong is also going to go on the expedition this time?" Didn't he just get married yesterday? β
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, took a look at the roster, and Shangguan Yong's name was indeed ticked by Sejong.
"Could it be a clerical error on the part of the saint? Or did the saint forget about Shangguan Yong's marriage? Another close aide speculated.
Zhou Yi shook his head, "Sending a general to go on an expedition like this, how could the Holy Lord make a mistake?" β
"Shangguan Yong is married to the daughter of the Taishi," a staff member said, "Yesterday the couple also knocked in front of the palace gate to thank the emperor, and the saint will not forget Shangguan Yong's new marriage." β
Zhou Yi closed the roster, smiled, and said, "A person who is in the army is the right way to go to the battlefield to make military merits, and the saint is giving this Taishi son-in-law a chance," Thinking that An Taishi was in the imperial study room where he arrived before him, Zhou Yi lowered his voice and said to his cronies, "Taishi must have contributed a lot this time." β
A few of the staff members said no more.
Zhou Yi looked at the roster and said, "Seeking wealth on the battlefield depends on whether Shangguan Weichao has the ability." β
The people in the study all had their own guesses for a while, and they were all guessing what General Zhou was thinking about Shangguan Yong.
Zhou Yi handed over the roster to his personal commander, and deliberately said, "Tonight is the night of the candles in General Shangguan's cave room, and I will go to Shangguan's Mansion to report the news after dawn." β
The commander of the army took the order and withdrew with the roster.
At this time, a thunderbolt sounded in the sky, and I don't know how many Kyoto people disturbed their dreams.
An Jinxiu fell asleep under Shangguan Yong, but Shangguan Yong didn't want to be separated from his daughter-in-law yet.
β¦β¦
Wait for Shangguan Yong to stop and take a closer look at An Jinxiu who has fallen asleep. The sweaty face was not as big as his palm, the black hair was scattered in a mess, and a lot of it was attached to the cheeks, and the fat powder for the face was melted away by sweat. People of the same age around him have already become fathers, Shangguan Yong has always thought that he may be a lonely widow, and now looking at An Jinxiu under him, Shangguan Yong thinks that he may be waiting for this little girl to grow up, so he has never been able to ask for the fate of husband and wife before.
"I'll be good to you," Shangguan Yong whispered in An Jinxiu's ear.
The corners of An Jinxiu's mouth raised in a coma, revealing a smile, as if she had heard Shangguan Yong's promise.
Seeing that the sky outside the window had turned white, Shangguan Yong hugged An Jinxiu, closed his eyes, and fell asleep like this.
When Zhou Yi's personal soldiers were in the dark sky, they walked into Shangguan's house, which was still laughing in the front hall.
Shangguan Yong and An Jinxiu were awakened by the knock on the door, and they heard the knocker outside the door say loudly, "Brother Shangguan, wake up, there is a war in Baiyuguan, we are going to go to Baiyuguan with General Zhou, and we will leave today!" β
Shangguan Yong's drowsiness was frightened away by the war and the four words of the expedition, and he almost jumped up from his new bed.
After the objects blocked under her left, An Jinxiu felt a large pool of mucus gushing out from under her body as if she had burst the embankment, but An Jinxiu couldn't care about being shy at the moment, all she thought about was Shangguan Yong going on the expedition? On their first day of marriage?
Shangguan Yong hurriedly got dressed and left the room, and after a while, he walked in again, with a guilty face, he stood by the bed and said to An Jinxiu, "Jinxiu, it was the Holy Lord's relatives who ordered me to go on the expedition, I, I am going to leave now, go to Baiyuguan." β
"Is it the Northern Turks calling again?" An Jinxiu asked.
Shangguan Yong nodded and said, "The Northern Turks have come to invade the border again." β
An Jinxiu sat on the bed, wiped her body with the red sheets, put on her clothes, and didn't care that her legs were still weak, got out of bed, and said to Shangguan Yong, "I'll prepare your bags for you." β
"You go and wash," Shangguan Yong stopped An Jinxiu and said, "I'll clean up by myself." β
An Jinxiu had already walked to the door, opened the door, and shouted to the side room in the courtyard, "Is the purple mandarin girl up?" Send me some hot water to scrub the general. β
Zi Yuan answered loudly in the side room, and after a while, the entire Shangguan family was busy.
Tiwen ......
(The old village chief's voice was suppressed by the scolding of the peasants, looking at the white bones in the dry grass, thinking about An Jinxiu, the woman, the old village chief actually had a look of disdain.) Although people are in debt, but An Jinxiu, a woman, whether she can really repay her evil debts after she dies, the old village chief doesn't know.
An Jinxiu, the concubine of An Taishi of the dynasty, married the Shangguan general of the dynasty at the age of sixteen, but she wanted to tie up with the fifth prince of the year, and now the saint Bai Chengze. No one knows how many lovers An Jinxiu has, and no one knows how much An Jinxiu has participated in, how many people he has harmed, and how many people's blood has been stained on his hands in the royal prince's seizure of heirs and fratricide. A forsaken woman whose husband forsaken and whose children did not recognize her; a poisonous woman who tries to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to the chaos of the dynasty; The sinners who made Xunyang An's family lose face, these are the crimes of Mingzong Bai Chengze who denounced An Jinxiu in public after he ascended the throne. Since the founding of the Qishun Dynasty, no woman has been able to fall so much notoriety as An Jinxiu.
The old village chief's voice was suppressed by the scolding of the peasants, looking at the white bones in the dry grass, thinking of An Jinxiu, the old village chief actually had a look of disdain. Although people are in debt, but An Jinxiu, a woman, whether she can really repay her evil debts after she dies, the old village chief doesn't know. )
After the hot water was sent into the room, Shangguan Yong was urged by An Jinxiu to go to the screen and hurriedly scrub it, and when he came out, he saw his little wife sitting on the edge of the bed folding the clothes he wanted to take away, and the small table on the side had already put steaming porridge and steamed buns.
"Let's eat something and then go out," An Jinxiu heard Shangguan Yong's footsteps, and turned around and beckoned Shangguan Yong, "Zi Yuan just went to the kitchen to get it, and it's still hot." β
Shangguan Yong brought the little ones to the bed, he sat next to An Jinxiu by himself, drinking hot porridge, watching An Jinxiu quickly and carefully pack his bags for him, Shangguan Yong suddenly had an illusion that he and An Jinxiu were not newly married, but an old husband and wife who had been married for many years.
"I wrapped a few winter clothes for you," An Jinxiu said softly to Shangguan Yong, "I'm afraid that you will go, and you will still be outside the customs after the winter." β
Shangguan Yong said: "Winter clothes will be issued in the army." β
"How can the winter clothes be as good as those at home," An Jinxiu lowered her head and said, "I originally wanted to make a winter coat for you, the general, but unfortunately it was too late." β
Shangguan Yong put down the porridge bowl that was already empty, took An Jinxiu's hand, which was still busy, and said, "There is still hot water behind the screen, I haven't used it, you can also go wash it, I'll come here myself." β
An Jinxiu snorted, got up and walked behind the screen, without washing, it seemed that there was still something flowing out of the smell.
Shangguan Yong was about to pack his luggage by himself, only to find that An Jinxiu had already packed his bags, and even loaded Jinchuang Medicine for him, all he had to do was to tie a knot for his bags. Shangguan Yong took another steamed bun and ate it, looked at his bags and then looked at his new house, grinned and smirked, it was different to have a daughter-in-law.
An Jinxiu was behind the screen, pressing her hand on her slightly bulging lower abdomen, although no one saw it, An Jinxiu still blushed.
"Big brother!" Shangguan Rui's voice came from outside the door at this time: "Can my little sister and I come in?" β
Thinking that An Jinxiu was still washing his body, Shangguan Yong hurriedly got up and walked out of the room, saying, "Wait a minute, big brother will come out to see you." β
Outside the new house, Shangguan Rui stood in front of the door with Guan Ning, who was still sleepy-eyed, and saw Shangguan Yong coming out, Shangguan Rui hurriedly said, "Big brother, are you going to go on the expedition?" β
"Well," Shangguan Yong said, "I don't know when I'll come back, you have to listen to your sister-in-law at home." β
"Big brother, can't you not go?" As soon as Shangguan Ning heard that his eldest brother was really going out, he immediately pouted, and he was about to shed tears.
An Jinxiu changed into her homely old clothes and walked out of the room, her steps were unsteady, and she saw that Shangguan Yong hurriedly reached out to help her.
"Sister-in-law," Shangguan Rui saw An Jinxiu, and hurriedly gave An Jinxiu a proper salute.
"Ning'er," Shangguan Yong said to Shangguan Ning, "You haven't seen your sister-in-law yet?" β
Shangguan Ning only looked at An Jinxiu, the person he had just met, even if he was a sister-in-law, was still just a stranger in the heart of a six-year-old girl.
Seeing that Shangguan Ning only stared at An Jinxiu and didn't open his mouth to call people, Shangguan Yong was a little anxious, and just about to open his mouth to urge Shangguan Ning to call people, he heard An Jinxiu's voice beside him say gently, "Uncle, Ning'er sister-in-law, I am An's family, your sister-in-law, we will be a family in the future." β
"Sister-in-law is so beautiful," Shangguan Ning stared at An Jinxiu for a long time, and suddenly opened his mouth to answer An Jinxiu's words.
"You girl," Shangguan Yong laughed, seeing that his younger brother and sister could get along with An Jinxiu, he was relieved to go.
"Big brother, is it okay not to go?" Hearing Shangguan Yong's words, Shangguan Ning remembered that his eldest brother was going to go far away, and pounced on Shangguan Yong's knees and said coquettishly.
Shangguan Rui pulled Shangguan Ning and said, "The emperor's order cannot be violated, so don't make trouble with the eldest brother." β
Shangguan Ning turned around and frowned at his second brother's little face, "Little old man!" β
Shangguan Rui was a young man, and he didn't bother with his little sister, but just reached out and patted Shangguan Ning's head.
An Jinxiu smiled and turned around and entered the house, wanting to take the bags out of the house for Shangguan Yong, how could Shangguan Yong let An Jinxiu carry heavy objects, take his younger siblings to follow up in the house, stretched out his hand and carried the bags on the bed, and said to Shangguan Rui and Shangguan Ning, "Big brother repeat, when the eldest brother is not at home, you have to listen to the words of the sister-in-law!" β
Shangguan Rui nodded immediately, and after Shangguan Ning saw Shangguan Rui nodding, he also nodded.
Shangguan Yong looked at An Jinxiu again, just one day after his wedding, he was reluctant to leave.
"Concubine ......"
"You don't have to call yourself that," Shangguan Yong interrupted An Jinxiu's words and said, "We don't have these rules in our family, you are my daughter-in-law, not a concubine." β
"Okay, I'll send the general out," An Jinxiu changed her words obediently.
Outside the house, the military attaches who wanted to go to Baiyuguan with Shangguan Yong were all waiting there, and when they saw Shangguan Yong and An Jinxiu coming out one after the other, they all smiled and said, "This is my sister-in-law?" β
Shangguan Yong looked at the way his brothers stared at An Jinxiu, and was faintly displeased, if he could, Shangguan Yong didn't want any outsiders to see his little wife.
An Jinxiu bowed to Shangguan Yong's brothers, and said generously, "All of you are the brothers of my general, and Shangguan An's is polite." β
With a beautiful face, a shallow smile, and a delicate voice, all the military attaches were stunned for a while, and they were worried that the daughter of the princess, the woman who came out of the prince's house was not something that their eldest brother could bear, and no one expected An Jinxiu to give them a salute. After reacting, a military attache clasped his fist at An Jinxiu, and everyone else also followed him.
"I hope you will cherish this expedition," An Jinxiu said after dodging everyone's salute sideways.
"Sister-in-law, where are we adults," the thick-skinned military attache joked with An Jinxiu, "They all call me Qing Immortal, and you call me that." β
An Jinxiu looked at this fair-skinned young man and smiled, Qing is immortal, Qing Nan, in his previous life, because he helped Bai Chengze become the emperor, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Weiyuan by virtue of his dragon skills, and he was the most ruthless one among Shangguan Yong's brothers of the opposite sex. "Brother Qing," An Jinxiu called out to Qing Nan, "It's good that everyone won't die or be injured together this time." β
Shangguan Yong heard something from An Jinxiu's words, turned his head and said to An Jinxiu, "Don't worry, I will come back, you can wait for me at home with peace of mind," At this point, Shangguan Yong remembered something again, lowered his voice and whispered to An Jinxiu, "I folded the sheets, you don't have to wash them." β
An Jinxiu knew what Shangguan Yong was talking about, the sheets that fell red at the beginning of the night, thinking of this, An Jinxiu couldn't help blushing.
"Yes, sister-in-law, we will all come back, just a Northern Turk, our brother still can't look down on it!" After Qing Nan talked to An Jinxiu, he was in a better mood, and said loudly, "With Brother Shangguan with us, we will definitely be fine!" β
"Are you coquettish with your sister-in-law? What does Big Brother Shangguan owe you? Some military attachΓ©s laughed at Qing Nan.
An Jinxiu looked at the martial artists who were in a mess in front of him, although these people spoke unscrupulously, but An Jinxiu looked at these people and felt at ease, at least these people were honest and trustworthy.
Shangguan Yong was reluctant to give up his new wife, looking at the sky, he had to leave at this time, "The family will be handed over to you, wait for me to come back," After a final admonition, Shangguan Yong got on the horse and left with his brothers.
"Yuanzhi," An Jinxiu stood in front of the door and watched Shangguan Yong and his party walk away, before saying to An Yuanzhi who was accompanying him, "Let's catch a carriage and go out of the city to see them off." β
An Yuanzhi couldn't say anything, turned around and went to hire a carriage on the street.
After gathering at the school military yard in the eastern part of Kyoto, the troops marched through Kyoto Castle and arrived at the north gate of Kyoto.
Not only did King Sejong take the princes and the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty to see off the northern city, but the people of Kyoto City also helped the old and the young to send these soldiers who were going to the border pass.
Shangguan Yong followed the pioneer battalion to the north gate first, and after seeing Sejong's royal car from a distance, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and waited in the same place. After the general Zhou Yi arrived from the Chinese army, all the military attaches followed Zhou Yi, led their war horses, and walked to the front of Sejong to kneel down to pay tribute to the monarch and ministers.
