This incident naturally caused a burst of laughter in the Great Xia court, and the officials of Great Xia laughed at Yan Bei's poverty and madness, and even thought of doing business with Great Xia. 【Latest chapter reading. Although they also lack war horses and iron ore, they can still trade with Bian Tang and Huai Song, unlike Yanbei, as long as Bian Tang blocks the checkpoint, there is only one way in Daxia.
Great Xia naturally didn't bother with Yanbei, but it was the first time that Yushitai and Zhongshuling joined forces, and they made a large article that was extremely ridiculous, scolding Yan Xun for being whimsical and not knowing the height of the sky.
This incident was not a big deal for the two countries, but it clearly showed Yanbei's decline and embarrassment. Although Great Xia was not much better, seeing that the enemy looked even worse than himself, the Xia officials were arrogant again. A group of Shilin maniacs shouted all day long to eliminate Yanbei, and that invincible look seemed to disappear as long as they waved their hands. Even some royal relatives and nobles who were far away in the territory wrote to Zhuge Yue, asking him to immediately lead troops into Yanbei and completely eradicate Yanbei's Huazi.
Zhuge Yue looked coldly at the situation of the demons dancing in the court and the opposition, and couldn't help sneering, and mocked in private: "Yan Xun's methods are not clever, but they are really the right medicine, just a few words, it made the Zhenhuang government and the opposition collectively go crazy." ”
When he said this, Chu Qiao only felt his heart pounding. Zhuge Yue already thought deeper than ordinary people, knowing that this was Yan Xun's deliberate weakness and wanted to lead the Xia army out of the customs to fight. However, Chu Qiao and Yan Xun have lived together for many years, and they know his temperament very well, he is a person, even if he dies in battle, he will never show weakness to the enemy, just paralyzing the enemy, and wants to fight, is it really worth him to make such a big sacrifice?
Winter goes to spring, it is another year of spring flowers, but the cold wind is delayed, and when you open the window, you can still see the unmelted ice.
This winter, it seems to be particularly long.
Chu Qiao subconsciously knew that some things were not far away.
Zhuge Yue went to Yecheng on a business trip, and he has been there for half a month. Three days ago, Chu Qiao received news that there was another battle outside Yanming Pass, but it was just that more than 30 drunken soldiers rushed out of the pass and went to Yanbei Longyin Pass to provoke and shoot a round of arrows, and the Yanbei army was killed and wounded, but they did not fight back.
When this news reached Zhenhuang City, it was already ten days ago, and the border guards asked the imperial court to issue a document to attack Yanbei, and swore that according to reliable information, Yanbei is now sleepy and lacking horses, food and grass are scarce, all kinds of military supplies have been exhausted, and there are large-scale civil unrest in the country, which is the best time for the Northern Expedition. Once missed, the confrontation with Yanbei in the future will be difficult.
Long before this, the sound of the main battle in the government and the opposition was already noisy, and at this moment, this letter added fuel to the fire, and instantly mobilized the battle intent of Great Xia. From the government and the opposition to the people, there was an upsurge of response to the war everywhere. The subjects of Great Xia originated outside the Guan, and they were originally a warlike nation, but at this moment, under the instigation of well-intentioned people, they were even more noisy. At night, every house in Zhenhuang City was filled with the sound of sharpening knives, and the civil officials of the Yushitai also set up a battle platform in Ziwei Square to accept those ordinary people who volunteered to join the army. The long list of names was densely written on the imperial list, and it was posted in front of the crape myrtle gate with such fanfare, and after each name was a bloody fingerprint, which looked chilling down the spine.
The people's enthusiasm for the war was unprecedentedly high, and the Shengjin Palace was reluctant to give orders. The emperor's old illness has relapsed in the past few days, and he has not been able to go to court for seven or eight days. With the deliberate connivance of the Presbyterian Church, various activities of the people were vigorously launched, and there were even guards spontaneously organized in various places, carrying swords all the way to Beijing.
Chu Qiao sent four letters to Zhuge Yue in a row, but before he could reply, Zhuge Huai, who had not been seen for a long time, came to visit, which made Chu Qiao quite at a loss for a while.
Zhuge Huai came from Zhuge Jia's family on purpose. Although Zhuge Muqing had expelled this son from the house when Zhuge Yue was in trouble, after he returned with glory, Zhuge Valve collectively selectively lost his memory and left this discordant past behind. Zhuge Huai, the elder brother who had repeatedly opposed Zhuge Yue, was also abandoned by the family, sent back to his territory, and had been away from the imperial capital for three years.
And he came back this time for the wedding of Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue.
A month ago, Chu Qiao's dowry entered the Zhenhuang City Gate in a mighty way, and the carriages and horses stretched all the way, and there was no edge in sight. According to the rough calculation of the Zhenhuang garrison, there were more than 400 vehicles and as many as 50,000 escorts.
All the way to joy and noisy, along the way vermilion brocade paving, sprinkled all over the sky with gold silk flowers, red silk mantles, gilded treasure covers, 3,000 costumed palace people are currently leading the way, 20,000 beautiful army armor is ready, 20,000 wolf army followed by guards, the momentum is prominent, that is, the son of heaven marries a wife, the queen canonized, there is no such luxury.
The people of Zhenhuang City were collectively dumbfounded, and even the officials of Great Xia were dumbfounded. Li Ce prepared a dowry for her for two years, and did everything he could to give her supreme honor and scenery, even if others were no longer there, he still supported her in this way, not letting her be underestimated.
The status of the Zhuge family suddenly rose because of the in-law relationship with Bian Tang, and Zhuge Muqing, who had been ill for a long time, also returned from the territory and greeted Bian Tang's relatives this time. Zhuge Yue didn't know what method to use to summon some relatives of the Jing family who couldn't be beaten. Although Chu Qiao had never seen them, these white-haired old men and ladies still cried bitterly when they saw her, profoundly expressing their longing and lovesickness for her who had not seen her for many years.
Some of the old ladies of the Jing clan lived in Sima Mansion, although Chu Qiao did not have a good impression of them, Zhuge Yue still seriously instructed his subordinates to treat them well. For a few days, Chu Qiao didn't have to go anywhere, just sat upright in the room every day, listening to them teach her the wedding customs, teach her the responsibilities of a woman, and teach her what to do and what not to do.
The newlywed is approaching, but she has become more and more worried, as if all the eyes of heaven and earth have been condensed, only she can not feel at ease, always feel that under this luxury in the sky, there is an invisible edge, which makes it difficult for her to sleep.
Zhuge Yue comforted her, saying that she was so happy and stupid, and she had to comfort herself like this, hoping that it was just the tension before marriage, not some unlucky sixth sense.
However, after Zhuge Yue left, her uneasiness became more and more obvious. Immediately afterwards, Yanbei's strange battle reports and the fierce belligerent frenzy in the government and the opposition made her feel more and more like pins and needles. However, she didn't know anything, so she could only be careful and quietly wait for Zhuge Yue to come back and wait for their grand wedding.
Zhulan is carved and built, the colored tiles are clear and blue, and the sunlight falls from the gaps between the branches and leaves, with the shallow golden glow of old and simple. The shadow of the flowers is sparse, and the spring sun stops slightly above the willow tops outside the bedroom, passing through the dim window lattice, and the light and flicker flow under her eyes.
A piece of letterhead was pinched between the fingers, and there was a faint smell of armor and beacon fire on it, and the ink was dripping, and the force penetrated the back of the paper, and there were few words, like a wave of lake water, quietly flowing in this warm spring and March dormitory.
Chu Qiao was dressed in a moon-white gauze skirt, leaning on the soft couch, there was a birdcage hanging in front of the window, the cage door was open, and a snow-white bird was sleeping lazily in it, with three red feathers on its tail, and he couldn't see a little majesty on weekdays.
Yueqi said that this is the snow owl raised by Zhuge Yue, the most ferocious bird in Qinghai, extremely fast, sharp claws, and smart.
Chu Qiao picked up a trace of marinated pork with chopsticks, and the bird almost didn't even open its eyes, so he snatched it away, chewed it twice and swallowed it into his stomach, tilted his head and continued to sleep.
What a lazy bird, he doesn't scream all day long.
Chu Qiao looked up at it, rubbing his fingers against the letter, and a trace of warm joy was born in his heart.
It's lazy, but it's still useful.
This letter, once called an epistle, is now called a letter from home.
The wedding date is near, and in two days he will be back.
After that, she will put on the phoenix crown and xia veil, sit on the eight-lift sedan chair, and marry into his family in the joy of drumming and playing sheng all the way. From then on, she was his rightful wife, and the gold Geng post is still placed under her pillow, on which are painted with gold powder mandarin ducks playing in the water, winged birds, and flowers, and the names of the two of them are written on the left and right.
Chu Qiao thought that she might be the Qinghai snow owl, who had retreated, eliminated the killing, and lived in a house made of gold with peace of mind, even if the cage door was wide open, she didn't want to go out again.
There are thousands of doors in this world, and the ones that can really stop people's footsteps are always invisible.
He is the Sima of Great Xia, but he is also a feudal king with a title, and she also has to marry with the etiquette of a princess, and the dowry and dowry are piled up in a courtyard, and all kinds of pearls and jade treasures are mountains and seas. The palace dressing bureau cut the wedding dress for her, and the royal family's rewards also came down, and the gifts of the big families were long, and the entire palace was full.
She was also rarely a little more interested, and occasionally took Jingjing, Meixiang and Huan'er to look through those gifts together. Occasionally, when they see some treasures, these women who have not seen much of the world will exclaim exaggeratedly, like a group of dirt buns from the countryside entering the city.
Tonight, she will live in the Zhuge main house, and the mother of the Zhuge family will prepare a pre-wedding ceremony for her. She didn't have a maiden family, so she could only live in Zhuge Mansion before marriage, and then marry into this splendid Sima Mansion from the courtyard where she lived when she was young.
Morning and dusk, time is like ripples in the water, fainting in circles.
After living in Zhuge 's house, she did not see the mother of the long house, but was accompanied by the Jing family. Chu Qiao took the girl named Yu Xiaohe with him, and occasionally when he was distracted, the woman from a small family would quietly light a handful of Soho incense. The scent was familiar, vaguely many years ago, when she was young, she learned the recipe at the Imperial Pharmacy.
One coin of suzi, one coin of lily, one coin of cinnamon, one coin of gold powder, two coin of lotus stamen, two coin of rose powder, 2 coin of plantain oil, two coin ......
None of them are precious medicinal materials, but the flavor of the blend is soothing and nourishing, and it can best help those who are entangled in nightmares to get a good night's sleep.
Two days later, someone came in and said that Zhuge Yue had returned to the city and went to the long house to meet her parents, but Yili couldn't come to see her. She was in the bath when she heard the news, and the heat crept up her smooth shoulders, bringing a hot warmth. A maid handed her a letter from home, her fingers were still wet, constantly dripping with water, the water stains soaked the letter paper, blurred an ink, the water vapor was misty, there was only one line of words, the pen end was clear, and the handwriting was beautiful.
"I'm back, I'll pick you up in five days."
Five days later, it was the day of their wedding.
At night, Chu Qiao stretched out his hand to lead a vine that had been dried up by the sun during the day, there was a faint trace of white salt powder on his fingers, and the water stains flowed down, and some potential emotions climbed up the layers of vines and vines.
A basin of salt water shook with a pale golden light, the letterhead swam at the bottom, and there was a shallow handwriting floating up vaguely, densely packed with fly-headed small letters, and the belly of the pen was written.
Just look at the refreshing one
