Chapter 17

"That's not right," Chunlan next to her couldn't help but interject, "Sister Gang, didn't you say that this Aunt Yu is the county lord of the clan?" How did she become the prime minister's daughter again? ”

"This is the case," Qingyu was not in a hurry, and slowly explained the reason, "Because at that time, the current emperor had not long ascended the throne, and he was worried that the clan country would collude with other neighboring countries and be disadvantageous to Daqi, so he asked the lord of the clan to send a son and daughter over, in the name of promoting diplomatic relations between the two countries, but in fact it was to send him as a hostage."

The lord of this clan has only one daughter, and he is willing to do it, but he only said that his daughter was seriously ill and could not make the trip, so the sealed Aunt Yu sent it over for the county lord. Aunt Yu is not the real county lord, her identity is embarrassing, and because the country is small and the people are weak, after she came, the saint did not like it, and others did not want to see her, so she was placed in the post house at will and ignored it.

One day many years later, I don't know who the emperor heard about it, Aunt Yu has outstanding character and knowledge, so she summoned Aunt Yu to accompany the young Princess Fuping to study.

After Aunt Yu entered the palace, she met a certain prince who was studying in the Shang study, and this prince thought about it when he saw it, and he was obsessed with it. One day, Aunt Yu accompanied the princess to the Shang study room to find the two royal brothers, and this prince actually despised Aunt Yu in front of the public.

The Hou Ye, who accompanied the two princes to study in the Shang study, was unhappy for a while, and stepped forward to say a fair word for Aunt Yu. In the middle of the excitement, I met the emperor and the late Empress Chen to check the homework of the two princes, and when they saw this scene, they took down the Shang Shufang and others and asked what was going on. This prince has a yellow mouth and white teeth, saying that it is the Hou Ye who saw Aunt Yu's beauty and played with her, and he saw that the road was uneven and asked for justice for Aunt Yu.

Everyone was afraid of the prince's prostitution, and no one stepped forward to say a fair word, and this Queen Chen was also extremely protective, and she was going to drag the Hou Ye out of the noon gate and behead him at that time. In the end, an old lady stepped forward to intercede for Hou Ye, and this jade aunt was also a wonder, and she even stepped forward to say to the emperor that everything belonged to Hou Ye, so her words and deeds were frivolous, and she had nothing to do with Hou Ye, and she was willing to take all the responsibilities. Empress Chen and the prince refused to spare the master.

Later, the emperor spoke, saying that Aunt Yu was interested in Hou Ye, and she was also in love with Hou Ye, so he gave her to Hou Ye as a concubine on the spot. And Hou Ye behaved inappropriately in the Shangshufang, so he was sent to the border barracks, and he was not allowed to walk in the Shangshufang for life. ”

"Oh, such a thing?" Chunlan sighed again, "Then this Aunt Yu is also a hard-working person, I think Master Hou must love Aunt Yu very much?" ”

"This," Qingyu's eyes dimmed, and she said faintly, "Aunt Yu's mother-in-law in front of her is the aunt of the slave, and the aunt often talks about Aunt Yu, who is really a person who suffers from life. Since he was sent here alone at the age of ten, not to mention others in the country, even my aunt's biological parents have never come to greet me. After the incident in the Shang study, before the aunt was carried into the door, the Hou Ye had been sent to the border. It wasn't until seven years ago that the lord of Lin'an rebelled, and Hou Ye had already been promoted to general because of his repeated miraculous achievements in the border pass. And ........"

"And what, my good sister, how can you talk so much? It's better not to talk about it. Qiu Ju estimated that she had become familiar with Qingyu in the past few days, and she spoke very casually.

Qingyu blushed and said in a low voice, "Actually, in fact, I see that the Hou Ye is quite interested in his wife." Hou Ye, Hou Ye is busy with business, and he doesn't go back to his home. When I come back, I don't go to my aunts. ”

Jun Yi, who had been listening quietly, didn't seem to hear Qingyu's words just now, and only looked at the cherry blossoms outside the window and was stunned: A general with military merits is now holding the position of a civilian official who has nothing to do with military power, isn't this a clear praise and a debasement and a deprivation of real power? It's a really weird thing! Could it be that the seemingly beautiful Marquis Xu is not having a good time in the court?

Qingyu saw that Jun Yi had not spoken, and was about to retreat, but heard Jun Yi say: "Hou Ye was named Hou after the rebellion?" ”

"Yes." Speaking of this, Qingyu was a little excited, "At that time, Master Hou was only twenty-two or three years old. Hou Ye went to the military camp at the age of fourteen, and was named a general at the age of nineteen. ”

The master and servant were chattering, and Juanxiu, who was waiting outside, came in to report, and Aunt Yu asked to see her, and Junyi nodded and asked her to come in and reply.

Mei'er came in and gave a greeting gift, then took a gift box and said, "Aunt Yu asked the slave to send this thing over, saying that it was a gift from thank you." ”

Junyi let Qiu Ju accept it, and the eyebrows were returned.

After Mei'er left, Qiu Ju opened the gift box and saw that it was a half-used book.

"Yo, how can this Aunt Yu bring a broken book, it's not too cold." Chunlan saw it and was a little disdainful.

"Show me it."

Qiu Ju handed it to Ye Junyi's hand, and saw that there were two big characters "Tianli" on the letter. She opened it and took a closer look, and it turned out to be a book of heaven, with various astrological charts attached.

"If it's a baby, this Aunt Yu is really not a layman." Jun Yi praised. You must know that ancient books are extremely rare, and this kind of detailed astronomical book is a peerless and unique book, and it is priceless in the market.

"Well, listening to Aunt Slave, this Aunt Yu is also a noble person and never lacks human affection. I think that when I met with Mrs. just now, Aunt Ying wanted to embarrass her, and Mrs. relieved her, so I thanked Mrs. again. Qingyu said.

Oh, so this person is extremely displeased with her in his heart, so a little thing makes her so delicate, so he takes out such a valuable thing to repay this favor?

Ye Junyi asked Qiu Ju to collect the book, and then went outside to see the cherry blossoms. As soon as Qiu Ju and the others helped her to the door, Li walked in, and didn't let her go anyway, saying a lot of truths, Jun Yi was tired of listening to it, so he had to do it, and took a pen and paper to practice calligraphy to pass the time.

Hou Ye Xu has not been seen all day, according to what Qingyu said and what Qiu Ju and Qiu Ju inquired about, this person has been absent from the Hou Mansion for a long time, and it is extremely normal for this kind of day to be gone. Junyi didn't ask about him, and when he saw that there was still no one in the evening, he fell asleep on his own. Unexpectedly, before he slept for half an hour, he heard the door creak open, and heard Xu Hou and Qingyu enter the clean room lightly.

"Master Hou is back?"

Xu Hou changed her clothes and was tiptoeing to get into bed, when she heard the person on the bed calling her.

"Did I wake you up? I knew I should have gone back to my study and gone to sleep. Xu Hou said as he got on the bed.

"Mama Li has never let me go out, I slept and ate during the day, ate and slept, and I can still sleep now." Jun Yi simply propped his head up with his hands, looked at him and said, "Master Hou, are you sleepy?" ”

"It's fine." Xu Hou fell asleep on his own.

When Ye Junyi saw it, he had to put his head down and retract his hand into the quilt. She doesn't like to be disturbed when she sleeps at night, she loses sleep at the slightest light and sound, and she sleeps so long during the day. She kept her eyes open and looked at the top of the tent for a long time, then turned her head to see the man with his back to him, and wondered if he was asleep.

"Master Hou." She tried to whisper.

"Hmm."

"You're not asleep yet!" She was a little excited, "Then don't you want to sleep now?" ”

"What? Is there something wrong? Xu Hou turned around and opened his eyes to look at her.

"Well, the concubine has something to ask Master Hou, so she won't disturb your sleep." She hurriedly pulled her quilt down a little and looked at Hou Ye Xu with blank eyes.

"Say it." Xu Hou got up and lay half-lying, the moonlight outside sprinkled in like water, the room was bright, and Junyi's beautiful big eyes flickered.

"The concubine heard that the Hou Ye used to be a general in Biansai?"

"Alas," Xu Hou smiled bitterly, "That's right." I stayed in Biansai for a few years, and then I barely managed to mix in for a few days. ”

"Then Master Hou must have seen a lot of different ...... from the capital," Jun Yi blinked a few times, "Well, for example, mountains, people, and so on." ”

"I've seen some."

"Then tell the concubine about it, the concubine has wanted to see the outside world since she was a child, but ........" Jun Yi simply got up and sat half-sitting, and said with a bitter face, "But either there is no money, or there is no time." ”

"What is there to say? It was very barren, and the walls to prevent the enemy from invading were built on rolling hills. When I first arrived, I practiced in the barracks under the city walls when I was not on duty, and I stayed on the city walls for a day and a night while I was on duty. If the rear military rations are well supplied, you can eat rice and steamed buns; If the supply of military rations is not good, they will have to starve, and they will not be able to eat a few meals of fresh vegetables all year round. Xu Hou looked out the window and said whether he had a ride or not.

"Master Hou, are you not happy in the official office today?" Jun Yi noticed that his tone was a little depressed today.

Xu Hou turned his head to look at her, this woman didn't know what she was thinking about in her head for a day, and she always didn't say anything.

Jun Yi waited for a while, saw that he didn't squeak, and said, "Are there a lot of maple trees on the mountain there?" It's the kind of tree that comes in autumn and its leaves turn red. "Jun Yi remembered visiting the Great Wall in his previous life, and saw that the maple trees outside the Great Wall were beautiful red in autumn.

"Is there a tree like that? No, there are more pine and cypress trees outside the city walls. Oh, I didn't stay there for long, and the team came to a place called Funiu Mountain, where there were vitex trees, wolfberry trees, willow trees, and sandalwood trees, and the mountains were rich in yam, and the herbs of the herbs. ”

"Then this is a treasure mountain."

"Isn't it? It's another important pass, so it's hard to grab it with a country called Yuezhi. After a pause, he said, "The mountain is undulating for thousands of miles, and when we were patrolling the mountain, we found that there were people from the Yuezhi who were sneakily transporting something, and we caught it back and asked, that mountain is still rich in gold." ”
