41. A hundred years of troubled times look forward to peace
Prosperous China, thousands of years of history, that year is the tenth year of Emperor Jiu, spring, it is the period when flowers are in full bloom, grass grows and warblers fly, wandering on the official road of the two canyons, a carriage slowly drives by.
In the carriage sat a six-year-old girl, she was wearing a pale pink skirt, with her hands on her cheeks, cute and playful, with smiling eyes, and a faint look of alluring the country and the city
Sitting next to her was a middle-aged woman in her forties, beautifully dressed and graceful, and her smile at her daughter was full of kindness.
"Mother, I heard that His Majesty's birthday is very lively, and there will be a lot of wonderful performances at that time, and my brother wrote that there are many that I haven't seen before?"
The little girl talked with great interest about the fortieth birthday of Emperor Jiu today.
"That's it, I don't know what Huizhi is telling you to do this, so you are clamoring to enter Beijing next to me every day, I knew this, I let you enter Beijing with your father and brother, and I will accompany you to this experience."
Although the middle-aged woman is constantly blaming, her eyes are full of love, and she does not see any blame at all.
"Don't blame the child, don't blame the child, if you don't have a child, you have to wait half a year to see your brother, are you willing?"
"This time in Beijing, you can stay with your father and brother every day, and you will have to reward your children well when the time comes."
The little girl's words pierced her mother's heart, and the middle-aged woman couldn't help laughing.
"You elf." The middle-aged woman poked her daughter's little head and couldn't help but laugh.
Bai Sha, the king of Yue in the long dynasty, has a son and a daughter under his knees, the daughter's name is Bai Yuying, the son's name is Bai Qing, the word Huizhi, Mrs. Shen, loving and virtuous, upright and atmospheric, praised by the people of the world.
However, her daughter is mischievous, elves and ghosts, whether she can do it in this world or not, whether it is the boy or the girl, as long as she is interested, she will do it.
This is not enough, there is a brother who spoils her to heaven, otherwise he knows that he can't stop her from coming to Beijing, why do you write to her?
"You're right, when you arrive in the capital, you must teach Huizhi a good lesson, don't let him spoil you in everything." Shen seemed to remember something and kept nodding.
"What the mother said is that I agree." Bai Yuying said heartlessly, "If the mother concubine wants to whip her brother, I will give you the whip." ”
"You!" Shen really couldn't do anything about this daughter, so he smiled helplessly, and the coachman who was driving the carriage suddenly stopped the horse.
"Protect the princess." The groom let out a low shout, and a dozen or so guards outside the carriage tightly guarded the carriage.
"What's wrong?" Shen asked outside, and the coachman outside the carriage replied, "Princess, we may have met a rogue." ”
"Rogues?" The mother and son in the carriage changed their faces when they heard this, and Shen immediately said to the coachman, "Tell them that we are the family members of the Yue Wangfu, and if we are let go safely, the Yue Wangfu will be grateful." ”
Shen commanded the groom loudly, but the groom said to Shen with a little disappointment: "Back to Niangniang, they said that the people who killed were the people of the court." ”
As the coachman's words fell, the sound of dangdang's swords continued to sound, and dozens of figures kept shaking by the side of the carriage, Bai Yuying looked at Shen Shi with a worried face, a little scared in her heart.
Although she was a lawless child, she was only six years old after all, Shen held her in his arms and comforted her: "It's okay, it will be fine, can't the guards of my palace deal with those rogues?" ”
"That's what the mother said." The little girl nodded slightly, and a scream sounded, and one by one the figures fell, and a cold arrow was shot into the carriage.
"Be careful," Shen pressed the little girl's head into his arms, and he held her tightly.
"Niangniang, please find a way to escape with the county lord, my subordinates are afraid that they won't be able to hold on for long."
Outside, the anxious voice of the groom sounded, and the two mothers and daughters in the carriage panicked.
"Mother," Bai Yuying called in a low voice, and Shen pondered for a while, then took her hand to lift the curtain.
"Stop, in broad daylight, commit murder and robbery, so bold."
At this moment, a stern but childish voice came.
Shen's outstretched hand was retracted, and with the sound of the child outside, it seemed that the fight was more intense.
However, after about a cup of tea, the sound of fighting slowly stopped outside, and soon the sound of the horseman panting and speaking sounded, "Thank you for saving me, such a favor, he will be repaid when I cross the palace." ”
"Yue Wangfu?" The voice of the child outside was slightly cheerful, "Is it Brother Hui's relatives in the carriage?" ”
"Exactly, Xiao Xianggong knows my family?"
And they are also called brothers, it seems that their status is not low, and the two mothers and daughters, who have regained their composure, listened to the conversation outside and glanced at each other.
"This is Yuan Xuan, the second lang of the Yuan family in the Fuwang Mansion."
Another voice rang out, presumably his attendant.
"It turned out to be Yuan Erlang, and I have seen it in my humble position." Outside the carriage, because of the coachman's words, the few remaining people in the Yue Wang's Mansion knelt down and saluted.
"No courtesy." Yuan Xuan nodded at the guards before asking, "Where are you going?" ”
"My princess and the county lord were about to go to the capital, but they didn't expect to meet a rogue here, thank you Erlang for saving me, it day, my prince will thank you again."
"It turned out to be the princess and the county lord." When Yuan Xuan heard this, he immediately dismounted and saluted the carriage, "I've seen the princess." ”
"Excuse me, thank you Erlang for coming to the rescue." The Shen family in the carriage sincerely expressed his gratitude, and Yuan Xuan continued, "We also happened to go to the capital, if Niangniang doesn't mind, can you allow us to go together, so that everyone can also take care of each other." ”
is a good Yuan family Erlang, these words are humble and decent, on the surface, it seems that the two families do not take advantage of it at all, but in fact, it is the Yue Wangfu to accept the help of the Fu Wangfu.
"Naturally."
Shen nodded, and the coachman got into the carriage and drove on.
As the carriage passed, Bai Yuying saw a purple boy about eight years old sitting on a horse through the curtain.
The heroic posture is sassy, the jade tree is in the wind, even through the curtain, she can feel the youthful spirit.
It was observed that there were not many people around him, but he was able to defeat the rogue, which reminded her of the word "elite soldier".
The Jiu Dynasty has a history of 400 years now, and the passage of time is just in response to the sentence that generation is not as good as the generation, until the rebellion a hundred years ago, it has not stopped.
Anti-king, rebel generals, peasant uprisings, to the present Zhanshan as the king, more than a hundred years of melee, has long been the people's livelihood, and the people have changed their lives to their sons.
Now that even the princess of the palace dares to kill, it seems that this dynasty is really going to die!
Seemingly without the interest just now, the little girl pursed her lips, pondered for a while, and asked her mother beside her, "Mother, when do you say that such a troubled world will end?" ”
"How can we survive in these troubled times?"
"What about soldiers, how good is it, or is it good?"
Bai Yuying asked a few questions at once, and Shen had to shake his head and smile, "You have a lot of questions, how does the concubine know which one to answer?" ”
"What's more, it's all their man's business, how can I, a woman, know?"
Shen smiled, and Bai Yuying said seriously, "Who said that all this has nothing to do with women, in the future, I must be a world-famous female general, protect the peace of the world, so that the people will no longer suffer from this war!" ”
"That's right, the county lord is so ambitious!"
A complimentary voice came from outside, and Bai Yuying couldn't help laughing.
She stretched out her hand and wanted to lift the curtain, but Shen immediately stopped her, "I don't care about the rest, but you must follow the rules that have been passed down from generation to generation." ”
A thousand years of history have been handed down, and a woman must not show her face in front of outsiders before she gets married, otherwise, no matter who the other party is, she will marry him as a wife.
Shen Shi had a rare serious face, "Your Majesty is very jealous of your father, he will definitely not agree to the marriage of Yue Wangfu and Fu Wangfu, you are so reckless, maybe you will destroy both palaces at that time." ”
"Okay, I got it." Bai Yuying held her mouth at Shen and reluctantly put down her hand.
What kind of rules are these, and she will definitely abolish them in the future.
The man outside also seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he stopped talking, and said apologetically, "I was rude just now, and I hope that Niangniang and the county lord will not be surprised." ”
"There, this kid is just talking nonsense, and I hope Erlang doesn't take it to heart."
"Thank you, mother." Yuan Xuan didn't say much, only escorted the two mothers and daughters all the way to the capital.
In Yong'an, the capital city, on the outskirts of the city, in the Yingting Pavilion of ten miles, a young man about ten years old was wearing a dark blue robe and was looking at the carriage slowly approaching him with an excited face.
When the carriage arrived, the young man in the dark blue robe saluted the purple boy on the horse, "Thank you Brother Zhongji for sending you all the way, and I will come to the house to thank you on the next day." ”
"There, Brother Hui is serious, and he has to be taken care of by his mother on the road, which is Zhong Ji's Xin."
Yuan Xuan returned the salute to Bai Qing, and after Bai Qing thanked Yuan Xuan, he took a few steps forward to the carriage and knelt down to salute, "The child has seen the mother concubine, and he has been fortunate all the way." ”
"Unfortunately, don't you have your sister by your side?"
"Yes, thank you sister for doing filial piety on your behalf."
"That's what Yuying should do, brother doesn't need to be polite."
The woman in the carriage smiled mischievously, and Yuan Xuan on the horse nodded clearly, it turned out that her name was Bai Yuying, and she didn't know which jade it was, that Ying?
In the carriage, the Shen family listened to Bai Yuying's name being known by Yuan Xuan, so he only shook his head slightly, and said to Bai Qing, "Your father must be waiting in the mansion in a hurry, let's go back quickly!" ”
"Yes." Bai Qing got up and made a gesture of invitation to Yuan Xuan, "Brother Zhong Ji, please." ”
"Please." Yuan Xuan nodded, and the two rode into the city together.
Yong'an, the imperial capital of the Three Dynasties, in this hundred years of war, has long lost its previous prosperity and bustle, and in addition to scattered shops, there are more ragged homeless people and beggars on the street.
Occasionally, ordinary people pass by, also with sad faces and hurried steps...
A hundred years of turmoil, stormy times, the people of the world are longing for the arrival of peace, but they don't know when it will end?
