Chapter 6 Long Tassels
Although South Vietnam is not a strong enemy, this is also the most effective result in decades.
Under the great joy of the saints, although the Ministry of Rites did not arrange for the Ministry of Rites to go out of the city to greet them, the vanguard army also let people clean the long street before entering the city.
Su Mu was sitting in the carriage arranged by the Yu family and walking towards Wanzhu Mountain, but unfortunately he was tightly blocked as soon as he left the inner city.
Standing on the carriage and looking out, as far as the eye can see, it is simply rubbing shoulders and thousands of empty alleys.
The coachman who drove the car had a hippie smile: "I forgot that today is the day when the Changying Army returns to the dynasty, it seems that the eldest prince you have to wait a while." ”
Su Mu and Xiao Wu slept late last night, and they were tossed early this morning. At this moment, Xiao Wu was fine, but Su Mu was a little out of spirit. The green-clothed and red-clothed sisters, who were originally shrank in the corner, hurriedly straightened up: "The slave maid will help the son rub it." ”
Before Su Mu could speak, Xiao Wu immediately widened his eyes and stopped in the middle: "Be honest!" ”
Don't think he doesn't understand, the more beautiful a woman is, the more harmful she is, but he's heard Childe read a lot of books!
The two sisters looked at each other, but Xiao Wu didn't give an inch.
Su Mu couldn't help laughing when he saw this posture, and he coughed to cover it up: "Okay, I'll call you if necessary." "If you don't shout, you don't need it.
The red and green clothes were a little aggrieved, but they were still soft and shrunk back into the corner.
This carriage belongs to the Su family, and there is nothing in it except a place to sit. In this early morning with white mist, Xiao Wu couldn't help but put another cloak on Su Mu.
Su Mu leaned against the wall of the car: "Find a place to sit." ”
The coachman said with some exaggeration: "Then there is still a place to sit, the eldest son, come out and take a look, now the streets are full of people waiting to see the triumph of the Changying Army!" ”
Xiao Wu frowned: "Didn't you know that there would be such a situation before you came out?" Why not wait to get out of the way. ”
"Aren't you thinking that Childe is in a hurry, or let's go another day?"
Xiao Wu looked at Su behind the curtain and said, "What day to change!" Now that it's out, let's wait here! ”
The coachman outside seemed to be muttering something, and Su Mu, who was a little in good spirits, didn't hear it clearly, and he didn't bother to listen.
Although he was a little sleepy, he also knew that this was not the place to sleep. Su Mu took out a book and pushed the window to ventilate and wake up.
A burst of cheers erupted, and the entire carriage seemed to shake.
Their carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, diagonally in the direction of the city gate. Su Mu looked out of the car window and just saw the flag of the most advanced city. The pen walks the dragon and snake, the iron painting silver hook, and the word Xiahou on it carries the killing breath to the face.
However, what Su Mu couldn't ignore was the silver armor general under the banner.
The first thing I saw was his momentum, his posture straight, like a spear pointing straight at the heavens and the earth. When I got closer, I saw that he had deep eye sockets, a high nose, and thin lips. The cheers in the streets were even louder, and there were even silk flowers sprinkled from both sides.
Although the woman of Obuchi was reserved, in this exciting atmosphere, some people couldn't help but do something slightly out of line.
The turquoise jade roared towards the general on the street, and some of the ladies who found something wrong exclaimed. However, in full view of everyone, the general tilted his head slightly, and the jade pendant was knocked to the ground by the guards beside him.
Su Mu held his breath, he was a little puzzled that the faint blue he had just seen was the general's eyes or the refraction of the jade pendant.
After receiving a few warnings, Wei Shu, who was lying by the window on the second floor, turned pale. Su Xuan, who was standing next to her, hurriedly pulled her into the box.
"What are you doing throwing the jade pendant down!"
Wei Shu felt a little weak in her heart, but she still insisted and said, "They can throw silk flowers, why can't I throw jade pendants?" ”
Hua Ying, who shared the room with the two, was simply funny: "Can this be the same?" The silk flowers are fluttering, will your jade pendant smash people, okay? ”
"Impossible! Brother Xiahou is so good that he can even catch flying arrows! ”
Hua Ying rolled her eyes: "And then?" Do you want General Xiahou to catch the marriage proposal that came to you? I said, Miss Wei, you've been wearing that jade pendant for a long time. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, Su Juan hurriedly rounded the field: "Xiaoshu definitely didn't mean it, anyway, now that the jade pendant is broken, who can recognize whose it is?" ”
Looking at Wei Shu, whose eyes were flickering, Hua Ying snorted coldly: "Some people just can't do what they can't do, and they obviously can't beat the relationship, but they want to call a brother." I don't know where the face came from! ”
"You!" Wei Shu was angry, and then sneered: "It's better to be shameless than shameless, just because you are the county lord, you pestering others every day, and the face of the daughter of the boudoir has been lost!" ”
"Smack!" Hua Ying took off the whip from her waist and slammed it to the ground, her eyes breathed fire: "You tell me again!" ”
The maids in the house, except for Hua Ying, all lost their faces, and they hurriedly stepped forward to stop in front of the master, for fear that His Royal Highness the county lord would be mad.
Su Wan's face was tight-skinned, and she scolded the two of them in her heart, but on the surface, she immediately saluted Hua Ying: "The county lord forgives the sin!" Today is a good day for General Xiahou, you definitely don't want to make a big deal and let him be criticized. ”
Seeing Hua Ying unwind the whip, Wei Shu finally calmed down. Although she is not afraid of Hua Ying, the alien county lord, if she is inexplicably drawn, she will still suffer. Thinking of this, she held back her words, snorted coldly, and walked out of the box under the escort of the maid.
Hua Ying's attendants coaxed and persuaded him, and finally calmed down the angry master. Looking at the two who left, Hua Ying was very disdainful: "This is the noble girl of Yecheng!" ”
Wei Shu rushed out of the restaurant, and the team entering the city had already walked out of the street. She stomped her feet, and immediately instructed her subordinates to pull the carriage around to chase Xiahou Sha. When Su Juan came out, he could only see the dust left by the Wei family's carriage.
Su Mu sat in the car and watched with interest as his stepsister changed her face.
I'm still young, and this forced smile is really ugly.
The crowd dispersed, and Su Mu and the others finally set off again. Five canals cut the city, and the well-developed water system allows bridges to be seen everywhere. The willow trees on the riverbank are a bit sluggish in autumn, but the constant flow of people makes them not lonely at all.
The carriage was getting farther and farther away from the inner city, and after about two hours, the emerald green Wanzhu Mountain finally appeared in front of him.
Thousand Buddha Temple in the east of the city, Wanzhu Mountain in the west of the city.
The Dayuan royal family believes in Buddhism, and there are no less than a dozen temples inside and outside the city. Among them, the Thousand Buddha Temple is the most popular folk incense, and the Bao'en Temple on Wanzhu Mountain is the royal seal.
Before entering Beijing, Su Mu asked people to inquire about the news of all parties. The perception about Wanzhu Mountain is that the yard there is very expensive, very expensive. So after hearing that the Su family had another courtyard there, he immediately moved his mind.
When I arrived at the place, I found that the Su family courtyard was in a very peripheral place, and I could only faintly see the green bamboo in the mountains.
When I came, there was a carriage, but when I went back, it became two.
The people took their luggage and got on the bus in turn, and Xiao Wu stood at the door and looked at them with his arms crossed. The coachman came over pretendedly: "Madame said that the eldest prince is going to repair in the other courtyard." If there are many of these people, then isn't it pure cultivation? ”
Xiao Wu looked at him condescendingly on the steps, and after making sure that all the subordinates had gotten into the car, he entered the house without looking back and closed the door directly.
The coachman was bored, and he snorted hard at the gate: "What a thing! ”
The courtyard is square in shape, and the center is dug into a lotus pond, and various koi fish are raised in it. Su Mu stood under the verandah, and somehow twisted some fish food from there to feed the fish. Redcoat was sent to the back to tidy up the bedroom, while Greencoat was in charge of tidying up the kitchen.
Xiao Wu trotted all the way into the yard: "Hey, hey, Childe, my brother should be there soon!" ”
Su Mu bowed: "You go outside to greet you." ”
Xiao Wu couldn't help but be happy: "The Su family thought that we would be dumbfounded if we removed all the people, but in fact, we still can't wait for it!" It's a lot of savings. ”
Su Mu flicked his brain: "It's even more stupid to laugh again, hurry up and get out, be careful that your brother is looking for the wrong place." ”
Xiao Wu covered his head and walked out stupidly.
Far away, the sound of a bell was heard in the distance. Su Mu closed his eyes, and the unique breath of the bamboo forest came with the wind.
Inside the Imperial City.
After Xiahou Sha came out of the imperial study, in just half an hour, he 'encountered' the third prince and the seventh prince successively.
The third prince, Gao Yu, smiled all over his face: "Congratulations, Uncle Cousin, you are now the youngest champion general in our Great Abyss!" ”
Can he not be young, although the third prince called him cousin, but in fact, Xiahou Sha is two years younger than him, and he has just turned double ten this year.
Under the red palace walls, the third prince still looks like a literati, with slender eyebrows and eyes, and is in the same vein as his mother's concubine.
"Wechen is just a fluke." Xiahou covered his eyebrows and looked cold: "I heard that the third prince, you have published a new anthology." ”
The third prince hurriedly waved his hand, but his smile deepened: "This king is not as capable of fighting for the country as you and the second emperor brother, and if you want to contribute, you can only rely on your shallow knowledge." ”
After a few words of greeting, the two of them just walked around the corner and bumped into the Seventh Prince Gao Feng who was holding the case file in his hand.
"Brother Three Emperors? Uncle Cousin? The noble Gao Feng was a little surprised: "Such a coincidence." ”
The third prince seemed to smile: "It's really a coincidence, but shouldn't you be in the Ministry of Officials now, seventh brother, why did you come to the imperial study." ”
The seventh prince raised the case file in his hand and smiled bitterly: "It's not that the year-end evaluation is coming, and I can't get some ministers for sure, so I'm here to ask my father." ”
There was a flash of emotion in the eyes of the third prince: "The seventh brother is diligent, and my cousin and I will not delay you in doing things." ”
The Seventh Prince shook his head with a face: "I'm just a layman, but my cousin is very powerful, and as soon as he makes a move, Nanyue is honest." ”
Xiahou Sha, who has always been watching from the wall, said lightly: "Nanyue was originally a temptation, and when he saw that my army was pressing, he naturally didn't dare to do it again." ”
Hearing this, the two princes had different expressions. Although he knew a lot of inside information, Xiahou Sha personally admitted that his credit was watery, which still soothed the eyebrows of the two of them. Compared with the second emperor brother who is eager to boast ten points of credit, this cousin who does not take credit is much more pleasing to the eye.
After a few more words, when the two princes sent out an invitation to the banquet, Xiahou Sha refused without hesitation: "Weichen will go to Wanzhu Mountain to live tomorrow." ”
The third prince suddenly said: "It's to visit the eldest princess." ”
Xiahou pursed his mouth and didn't answer, so the others acquiesced to him.
The eldest princess and the god of war Xiahou Ling have a deep relationship with each other, and after Xiahou Ling died of illness that year, the eldest princess was invited to enter the Bao'en Temple to practice. It's been almost 20 years now, and she has never stepped out of the mountain gate again.
As the son of the two, it has become a rule for Xiahou Sha to live in Wanzhu Mountain every year. Come to think of it, from the time the Changying Army went on the expedition to the present, it was indeed time to go.
Hearing that Xiahou Sha was going to visit the eldest princess, the third prince and the seventh prince were no longer reluctant. After all, although the eldest princess is the same age as the saint, she is the sister of the former emperor and the aunt of the saint. The first emperor died that year, and the crown prince ascended the throne. Thanks to the eldest princess who immediately married Xiahou Ling, she suppressed those dissenting courtiers.
Therefore, even though the eldest princess has long ceased to care about the world, her status in the heart of the saint is still unshakable, which can be seen from the fact that the saint will visit the Bao'en Temple every year.
