Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Old Thing Revisits
Murong Xun didn't expect Zhao Hui'er to come to see her, but when she saw her, she was even more haggard than the last time she saw her at Shangguan Zixuan, and a pair of talking eyes on weekdays were like losing their look, and their cheeks bulged out.
The word love can hurt people deeply, and Murong Xun is also quite emotional in his heart.
"Seventh sister-in-law!" Zhao Hui'er saw Murong Xun, and a smile barely squeezed out of her haggard face, "Is your injury better?" ”
Murong Xun nodded, but looked at Zhao Hui'er and asked worriedly, "I'm fine, but your face is very bad, are you okay?" ”
Zhao Hui'er touched her face and said with a smile: "I'm fine, maybe I didn't sleep yesterday!" After a pause, Zhao Hui'er squatted down, grabbed Murong Xun's hand, with sadness and sorrow in her eyes, and pleaded: "Actually, Hui'er came this time to ask my seventh sister-in-law to do me a favor!" ”
Murong Xun asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhao Hui'er said: "Seventh sister-in-law, have you heard that Da Xiang plans to form an alliance with the Turks recently, because Your Majesty does not have a princess, so she chooses the daughter of the royal family, according to the news from the palace, this person may be me!" She choked up a little, and said: "But, seventh sister-in-law, I don't want to get married, I am willing to serve the Buddha wholeheartedly, and I don't want to marry!" It's just that I'm afraid that if I become a sister-in-law on impulse, it will hurt my father and mother, so Hui'er came to beg the seventh sister-in-law, hoping that the seventh sister-in-law can talk to Brother Ling, and let Brother Ling go to intercede with His Majesty, maybe there is still a glimmer of life! ”
Murong Xun was shocked when he heard this, since the founding of Daxiang, the policy of treating the ethnic minorities who have come from time to time in the north has been not to pay compensation, not to pay tribute, not to cede land, and not to make peace. She knew Zhao Hui'er's affection for Huihong, and she knew how desolate Zhao Hui'er's state of mind was at the moment, so she sighed and said, "Don't worry, I will tell King Qin!" ”
Zhao Hui'er glanced at Murong Xun gratefully, "Thank you, Seventh Sister-in-law!" ”
In the evening, Zhao Ling, who hadn't come to see Murong Xun for a few days, came to Yiyue Pavilion again, and brought something with him.
A colorful parrot.
Zhao Ling seemed to be in a very good mood when he entered with the parrot, and looked at Murong Xun's expression quite gently, and only smiled: "I can't go out these days, I'm afraid that you will be bored, so I found this thing to relieve your boredom!" ”
"Xun'er, Xun'er!" The parrot thought that he knew that Murong Xun was his new master, so he flapped his wings and looked extremely flattering.
Zhao Ling glanced at the parrot with satisfaction, then looked at Murong Xun and said, "This parrot is called Yu Huan, and it will call your name when you hear it!" Very smart! ”
"The sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea!" Thinking that he knew that Zhao Ling was praising it, Yu Huan became more and more proud to memorize the verses.
Its cry also attracted Yingge and Yan Yu, Yan Yu only looked at Yu Huan and smiled: "This thing that the prince got from there, so smart!" Yan Yu teased Yu Huan and said, "Can it learn anything?" ”
Zhao Ling just smiled slightly, and Yingge on the side said lightly: "Only with you, it's difficult for it to learn if it doesn't want to!" ”
Yan Yu was puzzled for a moment, and then reacted that Yingge was sarcastic about her noise, and immediately glanced at Yingge.
Yingge and Yan Yu took the parrot down, and only Murong Xun and Zhao Ling were left in the room. Murong Xun just wanted to speak, but Zhao Ling saw her words interrupt and said, "I know that Fang Caihui'er has been here!" Then he raised a self-deprecating smile and said, "If it weren't for the sake of other people's affairs, wouldn't you have talked to me!" ”
After a pause, Zhao Ling said with a straight face: "If it's for Hui'er and her relatives, I can't help it!" Recently, the Wei State is ready to move again, and has hoarded a lot of troops at the junction with the Daxiang border, and the internal turmoil of the Yan State is also difficult to protect itself, and it is soon autumn, when it comes to this season, the grass withers, and the Turks will rob the villages on our Daxiang border, but if there is a war with the Wei State this year, if we do not deal with the Turkic problem, I am afraid that we will be attacked by the enemy at that time, do you understand, this is no way to do it! ”
Murong Xun pondered for a moment, and then said, "Isn't there anyone else?" ”
Zhao Ling shook his head, "The right age is the only one who has a marriage match or not!" Zhao Ling sighed and said, "Maybe for Hui'er, marrying far away is a relief!" ”
Murong Xun didn't speak again, but the powerlessness in his heart about personnel helplessness gradually spread. Zhao Ling squatted beside Murong Xun and said with a smile: "If I really start a war with the Wei State, I will definitely be in command of the battle, and then life and death will be unpredictable, if you don't treat me better, I'm afraid there will be no chance!" ”
Murong Xun paused, she glanced at Zhao Ling, he had a shallow smile on his face, it didn't look like a joke at all, Murong Xun moved the corners of his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Zhao Ling got up, glanced at the sky outside, and said, "It's not early, I should go!" After taking a few steps, Zhao Ling paused again and said: "Actually, sometimes I am quite conflicted, I am thinking that if you really fall in love with me, but if I die in battle, wouldn't you be very sad, if you don't fall in love with me, if I die, will you be indifferent?" ”
After speaking, Zhao Ling glanced back at Murong Xun again, his eyebrows moved, and he had a somewhat incomprehensible look, and then left quickly.
Murong Xun was stunned for a moment, he was contradictory, why shouldn't she!
Murong Xun stayed in King Qin's mansion for several days in a row, not only herself, but even Yingge and Yanyu around her were a little bored, Murong Xun just wanted to go out and relax.
Yan Yu cheered happily, but Yingge's face was a little worried from time to time, Murong Xun knew that she was worried about her safety, but somehow, Murong Xun believed that there was a destiny, since the future was unpredictable, if she lived in fear every day, wouldn't she be very tired?
The three of them walked around in Chang'an casually, and they also breathed a breath of fresh air, the sky was high and refreshing, and before they knew it, half a day had passed, and the three of them felt hungry in their stomachs, so they found a restaurant that was not very conspicuous, and they would eat something first.
After ordering, Murong Xun asked Yingge and Yan Yu, who were waiting on the side, to sit down together, and the two hesitated, but they still didn't excuse themselves, and did it on Murong Xun's side. What Murong Xun didn't expect was that not far from her actions was met an acquaintance, who was wearing a white monk's robe, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and his expression was solemn, who was it not Huihong?
Thinking about it, Huihong also noticed Murong Xun's gaze, raised his head, looked at Murong Xun with a peaceful gaze, folded his hands, and recited the sentence of Amitabha.
Murong Xun also laughed. It's just that when I saw Huihong, I remembered the cause and effect that Huihong said in the White Horse Temple that day, and my heart gradually became heavy.
Murong Xun ate a little absent-mindedly during the meal, and after eating, the three of them planned to leave. Just as he was about to walk out of the store, Hui Hong stopped Murong Xun, walked a few steps towards her, glanced at Murong Xun deeply, and said seriously: "Murong Shi still remembers what the poor monk said to the donor in the White Horse Temple!" ”
Murong Xun nodded and said, "Master's order, every sentence is like in my ears!" ”
Huihong sighed and said: "But the poor monk still wants to remind Murong Xun that he should go back to wherever he comes from, everything is mutually reinforcing, if it violates the cause and effect of heaven, there will always be people who will bear the consequences, and the poor monk is afraid that the consequences are unacceptable to Murong Shiren!" ”
"You monk, why are you talking crazy!" Yan Yu said indignantly.
"Don't be rude!" Murong Xun stopped Yan Yu, looked at Hui Hong and said, "Thank you Master for reminding me!" In her previous life, she went through the pain of a broken family and the death of others, what else could she not bear in this life?
After a pause, Murong Xun looked at Huihong again, frowned, and said, "I heard that the mage and the county lord of Hui'er have met, so does the mage know the news that the county lord of Hui'er is about to marry?" ”
Hui Hong's complexion changed slightly, and then he regained his composure, folded his hands, and said, "Amitabha!" He added: "There is only the will of heaven in the so-called marriage, and the poor monk is here to congratulate the county lord!" ”
Murong Xun looked at the pain that flashed in Hui Hong's eyes, and sneered: "I hope the mage's heart is also thinking like this!" As he spoke, he left with Yingge and Yanyu.
The three of them hadn't been gone for long, they heard that there was a crowd of people in front of them, it was very lively, Murong Xun and Yingge were both cold and had no interest in the excitement, but Yan Yu was a master who loved to play with the crowd inside, and the two were instigated by it, and they were also a little interested in the excitement in front of them, so they squeezed into the crowd to see what was going on.
I saw that there were mostly men here, and they were all excited, Yan Yu wanted to inquire alone, it turned out that this was the only son of the Jun family, Miss Hydrangea looking for hydrangea to recruit relatives.
This Jun family is a newly rising big family, second only to the four major families, but although there are not many people in the Jun family who are officials in the court, they are refined and business, and the wealth accumulated in the past few decades is countless, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich and rivals the country. That is, if you can marry this young lady, you will get the property of the Jun family, and you will be able to get everything you want.
And this young lady of the Jun family is twenty years old, but she is still unmarried, and her parents are in a hurry, so they throw hydrangeas here to recruit marriage. According to rumors, this Miss Jun is a first-class beauty, and the person who came to propose marriage when she was a teenager broke through the threshold of the Jun family, and Miss Jun also fell in love with a son, but she never thought that the son died of illness shortly before the marriage. Two years later, he was betrothed to a young general, but shortly after the marry, a war broke out and the general was killed in battle. At this point, this young lady of the Jun family has lost the reputation of a Kefu, and gradually, there are fewer people who come to propose marriage.
Although it is a dangerous thing to marry this Miss Jun, and it may cost her life, the temptation of the Jun family's wealth is too great, so there are still many people who come to grab the hydrangea.
