Chapter 16: Marriage Without Crying (2)
"Marry here?" In this scene, there are also Lu Meng and Han Dang, Da Qiao stared at the round apricot eyes, and his little face was red and white.
Sun Ce opened his body, looked at Da Qiao, and said with a wicked smile: "What does Ying'er think?" When I say get married here, I don't mean I want to ...... here."
Han Dang had already pulled Lu Meng away with great interest, and the two eight-foot men walked aimlessly along the riverbank, not knowing where to go. But Da Qiao was still embarrassed, and raised his hand to beat Sun Ce's heart: "If you say it again, I'll go!" ”
Sun Ce smiled even more, grabbed her wrist, and quipped: "Father-in-law doesn't allow you to go back, can you still go there?" What's more, in less than five years, the south bank of the Great River will be owned by my grandson Bofu, including your hometown Wancheng, and you won't be able to run away even if you want to. ”
Da Qiao couldn't see Sun Ce so proud, stepped on his feet heavily, and said with apricot eyes: "Okay, you actually dare to open my letter privately!" After speaking, a powder fist crackled and smashed towards Sun Ce like raindrops. Sun Ce realized that he had missed his words, and hurriedly hid and made up for it: "I'm also worried that my father-in-law will say something unfavorable...... Ying'er, don't hit me, I'm hurting to save you......"
Spring is strong, a tree pear blossom embedded in the branches, the east wind blows, falling like snow. Wearing Tsing Yi, Yingying Sujing, the wind is infinitely quiet, Xiao Qiao saw the pear blossom falling, turned around and went back to the room, a trace of loneliness before frowning, but it has been in his heart.
After ten days of recuperation in Wanling, the injuries on his body have been greatly improved, and he only occasionally suffers from headaches. Zhou Yu went, it was easy to pacify the bandits in Dingshan, the good news came, the whole house rejoiced, Xiao Qiao was happy for him, but he never looked forward to his words.
Obviously, they were just born and died together, but now they disappeared without a trace as if they had nothing to do with themselves. Xiao Qiao couldn't help but resent, only hated that he seemed to be as transparent as the moon and the breeze, but his mind was full of fog and smoke, and people couldn't even think about it.
Although she was angry with him, she didn't want to delay the business, Xiao Qiao went back to the room and walked to the wooden case, and wanted to write a letter to Zhou Yu, but she paused for a while, but she didn't know what to call it, so she simply skipped the beginning and wrote what she wanted to say.
On that day, in order to relieve the siege, she jumped off the cliff, and when she fell at a high speed, she saw a huge "swastika" engraved on the cliff, which was exactly the same as the one engraved on Sun Ce's wrist.
What does the altar, the strange bird, and the python have to do with his childhood abduction? What is the connection between this terrible and Sun Jian's assassination? Xiao Qiao only felt a huge net, sticking himself firmly to it, and holding Sun Ce and Zhou Yu at the other end.
I was not afraid of death that day, but now my heart is up and down, if I really die, my father and sister will definitely be broken. Xiao Qiao put down the brush, slowly dried the letterhead, then got up and opened the door, and instructed the grandmother at the door: "Bother mother-in-law, pay this trust to Lord Zhou, and send it to Juchao Zhou Lang together with the family letter." In addition, I will tell the old man and his wife, I ...... I want to go to my sister. ”
The night was quiet, the green tents were covered with heavy curtains, and the firelight was faint, but Sun Ce's Chinese military tent was still brightly lit. The soldiers who were keeping vigil outside the tent were already asleep, but Sun Ce inside the tent was not sleepy, holding the map with a sad face.
A few days ago, Sun Ce had entrusted the jade seal of the country to Changmu Xiu in accordance with the agreement. Changmu Xiu did not delay, and rushed to Xuzhou overnight with an expedited 800 miles and gave Yuan Shu. According to the reports from the eyes of the army and the spies from Dangli and other places, Yuan Shu was overjoyed and held a feast in the army, and Zhang Xun and others, who had been ordered to secretly strangle Sun Cebu's troops, also did not move and did not march to the place where Sun Cebu's troops were camped.
But Yuan Shu is capricious, and he doesn't know which day he will regret it, Sun Ce understands that he must cross the Wujiang River within three days. However, the Yangtze River has been a moat since ancient times, even if it is the Hengjiang River and Dangli, which are famous for their ferries, there are seven tributaries in the vertical and horizontal areas, the big rivers and small streams, which cross each other, and the water situation is extremely complicated. On the other side, Liu Xuan's troops gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses, and ambushed them behind the dense forest, eyeing them fiercely, needless to say, once Sun Ce's troops crossed the river by boat, they would drill out of the forest and let loose arrows to wipe out Sun Ce's troops.
Sun Ce sighed and sighed, the news of the jade seal and Yuan Shu would soon spread all over the country, he Sun Bofu was not a person who sold fame, but he did not want to take advantage of his father's prestige no matter what. What's more, Qiao Rui suddenly relented and promised Da Qiao to him without a name, he must have sensed that the situation had changed, and he must not let down the trust and harm her and the two thousand soldiers.
The sky was already hazy and slightly bright, and when Sun Ce saw this, he simply changed into his regular clothes and walked out of the tent, wanting to go to the river to breathe. In late spring and early summer, the morning is slightly cool, the river is thousands of acres of silver scales, flashing in the morning breeze, the scenery is extremely beautiful, who would have thought that four hundred years ago, Yu Ji and Xiang Yu parted here in life and death?
Sun Ce was thinking while walking, and suddenly there was a sound of playing water on the river, he couldn't help but be curious, followed the sound, and opened the two reeds, only to see two children playing in the shallows on the shore.
Children are naughty, which is not unusual, but the way they play in the water deeply attracted Sun Ce's attention: I saw them each drilling in a clay jar, the jar floated on the water, and then paddled with a wooden lid as an oar, drifting down the water. Sun Ce found it interesting, squatted on the shore, and asked the floating children, "Children, where did you row from?" ”
The children, who were only six or seven years old, did not have stage fright when they heard Sun Ce's question, they smiled and pointed in the direction of the flow of the river. Sun Ce put up his pergola and looked up, only to see a small village two or three miles upstream of the river, and he was not surprised: these two children did not seem to be familiar with water, but they were able to take advantage of the gentle flow of the river to drift so far!
In a daze, the child who pointed the way accidentally lost his balance and fell into the water with a "plop". His companion was shocked, lying on the edge of the water tank and calling his name anxiously. Seeing this, Sun Ce immediately took off his clothes, and a fierce man plunged into the river, stirring up waves.
After a while, Sun Ce carried the child out of the river and stuffed him straight back into the tank. Seeing the child's soaking wet and shivering appearance, Sun Ce smiled and sighed: "Since you two don't know water, why are you still playing here?" Aren't you afraid of accidentally losing your life? I'm going to send you back to the village, and you can't play with your own lives in the future, you know? ”
With such a handsome big brother and bitter advice, the two children hurriedly agreed, nodding like pounding garlic. Sun Ce pushed the two clay jars to the shore with both hands, and handed his dry coat to the children who fell into the water, and then picked up the two clay jars, led the two children, and walked to the upstream village.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Sun Ce saw a peasant woman shouting and striding over. The two children knew that they were in trouble, so they were so frightened that they hid behind Sun Ce. Thinking that she was the mother of these two troublemakers, I saw her pull out the two children, take a closer look at them one by one, and turn to Sun Ce and salute: "Thank you for saving your life!" The cold in the water is quite heavy, if Engong does not dislike it, he must come to the house to sit, drink a pot of wine to go to the cold, and bake his clothes. ”
Sun Ce didn't have time to excuse himself, so he was bowed left and right by the two children, holding his arm and refusing to let go. Sun Ce originally remembered Da Qiao and wanted to go back earlier, but seeing that there were many pottery jars piled up outside the door of this person's house, of different sizes, it was very interesting.
The courtyard is not big, but there is a tiled house, which looks like a small rich family, Sun Ce stroked the large and small clay pots in the courtyard, thoughtfully. The peasant woman brought a bowl of wine, half a plate of beef and a few steamed buns: "Engong is afraid that he hasn't eaten breakfast yet, this is the steamed bun that my family just made, let's try it." ”
Seeing that the two children grabbed steamed buns and ate them, and secretly dipped their fingers in wine to drink, Sun Ce let down his guard, drank a glass of warm wine, and suddenly felt a lot warmer: "Good wine!" Is your family a winemaker? How can there be so many vats? ”
"Yes, our whole village makes a living from winemaking, and most of the business travelers to and from Jiangdong have to take a boat at the ferry in front, and the post station restaurant at the ferry is doing very good business. It just so happens that our village is next to the river, and the water is clear and suitable for winemaking, and all the wine supplied by the wine shop comes from us, and we can earn a few hundred dollars a month by cutting down the expenses. ”
As if overpowered, Sun Ce's mind flashed with inspiration, he got up and clapped his hands and said, "God help me!" ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Ce ordered the soldiers to buy wine everywhere, not counting the silver taels spent, and let them exchange military rations to sweep away the wine jars in the villages of Jiangbei. In the evening, a big wine feast was held in the camp, and the carnival was not lively.
The war was approaching, not to mention that he was waiting for him, and he actually held a feast, and all the veterans were furious and scolded Sun Ce for being ridiculous. Cheng, Huang, Han and Zhu were so angry that they attacked Sun Ce's camp. But it is also strange to say that when these four people came, they were angry one by one, but when they went, they were smiling, and even one of them took a jar of wine from Sun Ce, calling friends and treating each other as respect.
The news soon spread to two enemy guards in Jiangbei - Hengjiangkou and Danglikou. Guarding here are the generals Fan Neng and Yu Mi of Liu Xuan's lower subordinates.
When he heard that Sun Ce had taken Lujiang County, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, without spending a single soldier, Liu Miao was shocked, and when he heard that his generals were coming to fight Jiangdong, he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he was in good spirits. But now it seems that Sun Ce is just a playboy who is swaggering and deceiving around with his father's prestige. Fan Nengyu was full of disdain, and slept in the tent without even wearing a armor.
At dusk and sunset, the Wujiang River is rolling and rushing, Sun Ce handed over the affairs of the camp to Han Dang, rode a horse and took Da Qiao to the shore, only to see that a few days ago there was still nothing on the bank of the river built a neatly repaired thatched pavilion, the pavilion is surrounded by light gauze curtains for decoration, and then the clumps of pampering leaves, the reeds bloom just right.
"Sun Lang, when did you let people build a pavilion here......" After Da Qiao got off the horse, he lingered, the breeze came slowly, and the red flew over the green temples, which was beautiful.
Seeing that Sun Ce didn't respond, Da Qiao couldn't help but look back, but she couldn't help but see him everywhere, she couldn't help but call: "Sun Lang? Sun Lang......"
I followed the reeds to find the past, but I saw a small tent at the end, and the red beam of the tent was the place for marriage. Thinking of Sun Ce saying that he wanted to get married here a few days ago, Da Qiao was stunned for a moment, originally thinking that he was just talking nonsense, but he didn't expect him to secretly order someone to arrange this place so properly.
"Ying'er, don't be in a daze, come on."
Sun Ce walked out of the tent, had already taken off his clothes, and changed into a Xuanduan dress. On weekdays, most of them are dressed up, but he didn't expect Sun Ce, who was tied with his hair, to be so polite, he pulled Da Qiao into the tent, took her to a willow box, and pretended to cough deeply: "Give it to you, open it and take a look." ”
Da Qiao leaned over to open the copper lock, gently lifted it, and saw that there was a magnificent and extraordinary multicolored heavy edge dress, the embroidery was exquisite, and the fire phoenix and jade phoenix were the best products. According to the Han rites, the daughter of a civil and military attache who eats 200 stone can wear this dress when she marries. Qiao Rui is a general, and she can afford to wear this wedding dress, but she still has some scruples in her heart: "Sun Lang, we didn't ask for a name, it doesn't fit the six rites, for you, I can only be regarded as a concubine." How can I wear this garment, which is the garment of a wife? ”
"What kind of wife and concubine status, it's all, you are the only woman in my grandson's life. Born in troubled times, it is difficult to count the courtesy, I have wronged you. But I promise you, when I conquer Jiangdong and divide one side, I will compensate you for everything I owe you...... Ying'er, don't be afraid, put on this dress and marry me. ”
At this moment, Sun Ce took off his armor and faded his clothes, just a sincere and innocent teenager. These heartfelt confessions made Da Qiao's eyes slightly wet, she hurriedly lowered her eyes, and said lightly with a smile: "Sun Lang, if you care about this, I won't come here." Wait for me outside for a while, and let me freshen up and change." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you," Sun Ce said, kissing Da Qiao lightly on the cheek, getting up and retreating.
Da Qiao slowly faded from his Confucian men's clothes, walked to the bronze mirror, untied his hair belt, raised his bare hand to hold the grate tightly, dipped the peach blossom spring water in the porcelain bowl, and carefully combed the three thousand green silks.
is no different from other girls, Da Qiao has also fantasized about the scene of his marriage, his father sends his relatives, and his sister may drag her skirt, full of reluctance, but today, they are not by his side.
After the green silk was combed through, Da Qiao looked at the face of the country in the bronze mirror, her clear eyes were full of tears, but the corners of her good-looking mouth were slightly raised. In life, there may be many regrets, but at this moment, she just wants to obey her heart and be by his side. No matter what the victory or defeat of crossing the river tomorrow, she is his bride, his wife, in this life, heaven and earth, blue and yellow springs, will never be separated again.
Da Qiao wiped away the tears rolling from the corners of his eyes and applied new makeup with the rouge gouache prepared by Sun Ce. In the end, it is a great beauty who can be counted in the world, Da Qiao slightly applied thin powder, made up a brilliant makeup, unique in the world, she pulled up three thousand green silk, tied the bride's grate, and then took out the wedding dress, put it on carefully, and finally tied the Luo Ying given by Sun Ce in the past.
There is no need for tens of millions of mansions, there is a beautiful scenery on its own day, Da Qiao took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the small tent.
In the riverside pavilion, Sun Ce was watching the river roll with his back hand, and when he heard the sound of light footsteps, he immediately turned around, took Da Qiao, took her hand, and walked up the stone steps with her.
There is a copper basin next to the table, the water is clear, the petals are scattered, the two of them cleaned their hands, and then walked together to the center of the pavilion. After the gauze tent, the feast had already been set up, and the two took off their boots and sat down according to the meaning of the intersection of men and women, yin and yang. Da Qiao understood that although there were only two of them here, Sun Ce still prepared all this for her in strict accordance with the ceremony of marrying a wife. Looking at this beautiful young man who was about to become her husband, Da Qiao sneered "Sun Lang", and his intestines were soft, as if he had a thousand words to tell the person in front of him.
Under the dim sunset, Sun Ce chuckled, his expression was intoxicated, and his eyes were full of emotion: "Ying'er, I can have you as my wife in this life, and my grandson Bofu will die without regrets." Even if he becomes a marquis and becomes an emperor in the future, it is just icing on the cake. ”
A thousand words, it is difficult to describe the mood in case, Da Qiao has tears in his eyes, picked up the case and said: "No matter whether you become a king or lose, I will always be by your side." ”
A glass of wine, the two were already husband and wife, Sun Ce hugged Da Qiao tightly, sighing.
A round of red sun floated on the river, a pair of beautiful people snuggled up to each other, Da Qiao asked softly: "Sun Lang, why did you choose to be here?" Did you know that many people are afraid to avoid this place? ”
"Four hundred years ago, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was defeated and killed himself, leaving an allusion to the overlord's farewell concubine. is obviously a first-class hero and beauty in the world, but no matter how difficult it is, I don't know how many people regret them. Perhaps because of this, as long as you are born in Jiangmen, you have many taboos about the boundary of Wujiang...... But I'm different, I'm different. ”
"Oh? What's the difference? ”
Sun Ce smiled at Da Qiao's fragrant shoulders, and his eyes were as bright as stars: "Xiang Yu stopped here back then, but my Sun Bofu is going to start here." What's more, it is useless to avoid the secrets of our ancestors, only to motivate ourselves and never repeat the mistakes of the past, is the real chapter. ”
Although he had never asked in person, Da Qiao understood his ambition and did not say much, but just nestled in his arms and murmured, "I believe in you." ”
The wind gradually rose on the river, and Sun Ce circled Da Qiao tighter: "Ying'er, I won't tell you, since I made up my mind to go to Jiangdong, I have been prepared for the worst." Now that I have you, I will not rush into danger, but the situation on the battlefield is changing, and who can predict it. If...... If I have a good deal, promise me that you must not learn from Yu Ji, okay? ”
Hearing Sun Ce's words, Da Qiao was stunned, and tears immediately appeared in his eyes: "Don't, I don't want to hear you say this." I'm sure you'll win and you'll survive...... Promise me not to say these nonsense things to me again, okay? ”
Feeling the little man trembling in his arms, Sun Ce kissed her silk hair with great pity: "Okay...... Ying'er, I promise you not to say these unlucky words. The ceremony is not over, so let's worship heaven and earth. ”
The sky was full of clouds and clouds, and the two went to the riverside, knelt down and bowed reverently, and then turned around and looked at each other in pairs.
If all this is a dream, he would rather never wake up, Sun Ce looked at Da Qiao's unreal beautiful little face under the colorful sunset, and said loudly: "The emperor and the queen of heaven are witnesses!" If my grandson Bofu is famous in history in this life, there will be only one woman, Qiao Ying! ”
A thousand words were in his heart, but there was no way to talk about it, Da Qiao's thin lips trembled slightly, and he bowed to Sun Ce with tears. No matter whether you win or lose tomorrow, you can marry him today, even if death is enough.
