Agutai has been accustomed to going to Rong'an Fang to see Jin Ling every day, how do you know that when the day passed, the man looked around in the shop with a pair of sharp eyes, and did not find the beautiful little woman at all, so he casually found a little guy and asked, Agutai knew that Jin Ling did not appear in the shop, and he didn't know where he went.
The thick black sword eyebrows were furrowed, Agutai was not worried that Jin Ling would disappear out of thin air, after all, the woman had been living in the county guard's mansion, and if she could run the monk, she would not be able to run the temple, sooner or later she would be his person, even if she could hide for a while, she would not be able to hide for a lifetime.
Even if he recognized this fact, the man's mood was still not good, and his face was calm, but there was a raging anger hidden in his bottomless black eagle eyes, and the little guy on the side glanced at it, so frightened that his legs were weak, and he didn't even dare to gasp.
Watching the tall Hun leave from Rong'an Fang, the little guys in the shop couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Back at Yunlai Tower, Agutai just wanted to send someone to bring Jin Ling to the restaurant, when he received a letter.
Tearing open the envelope and seeing the contents of the letter, the tall and sturdy Hun leader had a mocking smile on his face.
A blue-eyed man stood beside the man and asked angrily, "My lord, what happened?" ”
With a few taps on the table with his calloused long fingers, Agutai said:
"Princess Yining of this great cause is really brazen, a man who dares to lewd men before marriage. The vicious woman of medicine still wants to be my concubine, which is too whimsical. ”
"Princess Yining? It's the one with the guard. A vicious woman who also chops up her own man and feeds it to a dog? ”
Agutai nodded.
The rugged-faced Hun man showed a hint of anger on his face, and his fan-like palm slapped it on the table, making a loud noise. Although their leader didn't want to make peace with the princess of Daye, isn't it obvious that such a woman, after doing such evil things, is still preparing to marry the chief?
"Do you want to inform Zhai Heng and Chu Liang about this?"
Agutai said: "It's just a woman, even if she is the sister of the Emperor of Daye, it is not much different from a delicate and beautiful chess piece, there is only one concubine of our tribe, that is, Miss Jin Ling, she did not go to Rong'an Fang today, I will visit the county guard mansion later, and give the letter to Chu Liang by the way." ”
When Princess Yining drugged Chu Liang, she thought she could do it without knowing it, but in fact, many people got the news, and Agutai, who lived in Yunlai Tower, was also one of them.
Now that this princess's little abacus is completely ruined, knowing that Chu Liang will not want her no matter what, he wants to put the bet on the leader of the Huns, in exchange for future glory and wealth, how can he think that Agutai is a person who does not enter oil and salt, except for Jin Ling, he doesn't care about any woman, even if Yining is a princess? The woman's actions alone were enough for him to lose his appetite.
The man wore a big hat and braved the snow to go directly to the county guard's mansion.
As soon as the guards guarding the gate saw that the person was a Hun, they immediately remembered the orders from above.
The housekeeper had explained before that these foreigners in the border city were very noble, and they could never be offended.
The guards respectfully brought people in, and Agutai went straight to the small courtyard where Chu Liang lived, and as soon as he walked to the corridor, he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.
Jin Ling never thought that she would see Agutai in the county guard's mansion, at the moment she was still holding Chong'er in her arms, this child's appearance and Agutai seemed to be carved out of a mold, very similar, if this person saw it, where could her son's identity be hidden?
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, Jin Ling ran forward with a pale face, but she was a weak woman, where could she outrun the sturdy Huns? Within two blows, the man grabbed his arm from behind.
A grim smile appeared on Agutai's face, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, he pressed the woman's shoulders with both hands, and sneered: "Run? Why didn't you run away? ”
The two big palms on her body, like iron tongs made of fine iron, were extremely powerful, as if they were about to crush a woman's shoulders, Jin Ling's face showed a trace of pain, and her eyes were slightly red.
Seeing the woman's appearance of crying or not, Agutai couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
Speaking of which, even he couldn't figure it out, although Jin Ling's skin was good, but there were many Han women who were more beautiful and delicate than her, and there were countless people who took his identity and threw them into his arms.
With a sigh in his heart, the man's big palm swam on Jinling's body, and finally clamped her wrist, squinted his eagle eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you go to Rong'anfang today?" ”
The snow-white shell teeth bit her red lip lightly, Jin Ling lowered her head, and had no intention of opening her mouth at all.
Zhang Chong, who was holding in her arms, was asleep, but she didn't think that the kung fu of chasing and catching up just now would wake up the child because of the excessive movement.
The little baby, who was less than a year old, was not sensible at all, and he couldn't recognize how dangerous the man in front of him was, so he began to howl at the top of his throat, and the cry shook the sky, making Agutai twist his eyebrows, and his face showed a bit of uncertainty.
"Whose cub is this?"
Jin Ling's eyes were red, for fear that he would hurt his child, and whispered, "Chong'er is my son." ”
Hearing this, Agutai felt even more aggrieved, he knew that Jin Ling had been married, but this woman was his future concubine, how could she bring the wild seeds born with others?
A raging anger burned in his chest, Agutai gritted his teeth, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence: "Give the child to Chu Liang and his wife, and you will go back to the border city with me." ”
When she was abused by the Zhang family, the reason why Jin Ling didn't seek death and gritted her teeth to survive, most of the reason was because of the child in her arms.
Obviously, the child in front of him is Agutai's species, but Jin Ling resents this person for rape. Lewd her about it, and didn't want Agutai to recognize Chong'er at all, so how could the dignified Hun leader not be angry?
Pulling the woman's slender wrist, Agutai strode forward, directly transferred an empty side room, kicked the door open, and pulled Jin Ling into the room.
At this moment, there were only three of them left in the room, Zhang Zhong was still a child under the age of one, seeing that Agutai's handsome face was distorted so badly, Jin Ling trembled, and wanted to escape, but he couldn't break free from the man's grip at all.
Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks, and Jin Ling couldn't help crying: "Chief, we Han people have a saying - there is no grass at the end of the world, why don't you recognize me?" I'm just a slave, and I won't dare to defile you. ”
Saying this, the look of resistance in Jin Ling's eyes couldn't be hidden at all, and Agutai sneered: "What is undefiled, I just want you, hold you and sleep comfortably!" ”
The nomads outside the Guanxi are not the same as the Han people living in the Daye Dynasty, and there are no Confucian etiquette constraints at all, and they can say anything that is unbearable.
Jin Ling struggled, but this magnitude of resistance in Agutai's eyes was no different from tickling, he lowered his head, his thin lips pressed against the woman's ear, and bursts of hot air sprayed on his head, making Jin Ling's earlobes red, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry.
"Little thing, if you want to raise this wild seed, then raise it, I'm not the kind of narrow-minded man, but for the sake of your son, you have to give me three, no, five sons, and I will let this little cub go!"
Jin Ling's whole body trembled, lowered her head and shed tears, Agutai took the woman's pitiful appearance into his eyes, although he was a little distressed, but he did not change his words.
He knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for the peace talks with the tribe for the great cause, the woman in front of him would not go to the gate anyway, don't look at the Han girl as soft as water, but a heart is the most hard, if she is not really tamed, how will she be tossed in the second half of her life.
At this moment, Agutai didn't plan to touch Jin Ling, after all, this woman would be his person sooner or later, and if he angered someone before he made a kiss, I am afraid that things would have twists and turns.
Bowing his head and dropping a kiss on the woman's bloodless lips, Agutai said roughly: "This is interest, today I will go to discuss the marriage date with Chu Liang, the day of your and my wedding is the time to open the mutual market." ”
In fact, Agutai is the person who wants to open the mutual market the most, after all, the tribes on the grassland are very sad in winter, and there have been several goose feather snowfalls recently, the weather is very cold, I don't know how many cattle and sheep have froze to death, if the border city is not opened soon, the tribe may not know how many people will die.
Pushing the door open, Agutai said, "Take me to see Chu Liang." ”
Jin Ling has been in the county guard mansion for a few months, so she naturally knows where Chu Liang's study is.
She held the child in her arms, and gently coaxed her as she led the way.
Zhang Chong, the baby, suffered a lot as soon as he spoke out, and he was also a distressed person, and he was honest after a while, and stayed obediently in Jin Ling's arms, rubbed up and down, and slept soundly.
Agutai went directly to the study where Chu Liang was, and the guards guarding the door saw the leader and hurriedly reported.
The carved wooden door of the study was opened, Agutai chuckled, waved his hand at Jin Ling, and said, "You go back first, wait for me to take you back to the grassland." ”
Jin Ling's eyes widened, she gritted her teeth, and didn't say anything.
When the man entered the house, she carried her son and hurried back to the hut where she was staying.
At this moment, Chu Liang was sitting behind the desk, and as soon as he saw Agutai, he asked:
"Why did the leader come to me today?"
The man on the grassland didn't want to beat around the bush when he spoke, he said directly: "It's time to open up the mutual market." ”
Chu Liang raised his eyebrows and did not speak.
"Now is the coldest time, if the mutual market is not opened, do you want my sons on the grassland to freeze to death and starve to death? How about we not take your grain and grass in exchange for gold and silver ore? ”
Chu Liang said: "The opening of the mutual market is a rare good thing for both you and me, as long as the leader restrains his people well, don't let them do evil in the border city, and formally negotiate peace tomorrow, the city gate can be opened." ”
"Okay, then as the general said, we will negotiate peace tomorrow."
After a pause, Agutai said: "I will take the Jin Ling from your house, and she will become my concubine." ”
Chu Liang had already learned about this through Pan'er's mouth, and he had little impression of a woman he had never had much contact with, and said with a slight bow: "It's all up to the leader's will." ”
After receiving Chu Liang's reply, Agutai showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
Before leaving, Agutai did not forget to put a letter sent by Princess Yining in front of Chu Liang.
After the others left, Chu Liang opened the envelope and looked at it, and sneered.
Tearing the letter to shreds, the man went directly to the master bedroom, and saw Pan'er and Xiaobao's mother and son nesting on the kang, Xiaobao reached out and touched the woman's bulging belly, looking very happy, and the little face was about to laugh.
Hearing the movement at the door, the mother and son turned their heads one after another, and the pair of almost identical apricot eyes stared at Chu Liang together, making the man stunned for a moment.
As soon as Pan'er saw the man, she couldn't help but think of what happened last night, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes, she looked at him carefully, and didn't find anything abnormal, so she withdrew her gaze and continued to chat with Xiaobao.
Xiaobao has now passed his fourth birthday and has studied his homework for half a year, if it weren't for the child's weak body and weak bones, and the cold weather is not suitable for martial arts, Chu Liang will definitely take his son to the front yard and teach him well.
With a light cough, Chu Liang walked to the side of the kang, took a sip of the teacup used by Pan'er, and asked, "What did you say?" ”
Pan'er was still holding her breath in her heart, and she didn't pay attention to the man's meaning at all, just as if she hadn't heard Chu Liang's words.
Seeing this, Xiaobao first looked at Chu Liang, and then focused on his mother's body, abandoned his father without hesitation, twisted his little body and threw himself into Pan'er's arms, and pointed the back of his head at Chu Liang.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Chu Liang said to the She family who was standing aside: "Hold the little young master down." ”
For the general's orders, she didn't dare to disobey She's ten more dares, only to see the woman walk to the side of the kang, two arms around Xiaobao's waist, wanting to pick up the child directly, but not to prevent Xiaobao's struggle, little hands pulled Pan'er's cuffs, pitiful said: "Mother, Xiaobao wants to sleep with his mother today." ”
Hearing this, Pan'er raised her eyes and looked at Chu Liang, and sure enough, the man's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, which was really not good-looking.
The delicate red lips were slightly raised, and Pan'er waved her hand and said, "She's, Xiaobao is with me today, you can go back and rest first." ”
The two masters spoke separately, and She didn't know how to choose for a while, but fortunately, Chu Liang's silent appearance made her feel at ease, and she left the master bedroom directly in three steps and two steps.
At this moment, there was only a family of three left in the room, Chu Liang's face was tense, his Adam's apple slid up and down, he sat on the edge of the kang with one butt, took the little daughter-in-law's soft and boneless hand, and couldn't help but say: "You see this house is not big, we just fell asleep, why did you get a little cub over." ”
Pan'er couldn't help but glance at Chu Liang: "What little cub?" It's as if Xiaobao is not your son. ”
The person Xiaobao is most afraid of is Chu Liang, as long as Chu Liang has a black face, he can't help but worry in his heart, at this moment he shrank in Pan'er's arms, peeked at his father, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Seeing that the little daughter-in-law had made up her mind, Chu Liang knew that it was useless to say anything, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Agutai wants to marry Jin Ling quickly, but fortunately, Jin Ling has also stayed under our hands for a while, you prepare a dowry for her, and it is not good to marry the concubine." ”
"Don't worry, I have long left that silver tael."
Stretching out his hand and rubbing Xiaobao's head, Pan'er asked: "If the mutual market is opened, a lot of milk and goat's milk can be obtained in the border city, and the children of the Salesian Bureau are not very good. ”
Chu Liang snorted, secretly thinking about returning to the capital as soon as possible, otherwise, according to the temperament of the little daughter-in-law, he may not know how much thought he wasted on those beggars, the man's heart is not big, and it is okay to compete with Xiaobao for the little daughter-in-law on weekdays, and now he has to beware of those little ones, how can he be comfortable in his heart?
*
*
Agutai and Chu Liang were both quick to do things, and as they said, the treaty of peace was signed on the second day.
In fact, the Xiongnu didn't want to fight with the great cause, but the winter of the grassland was too difficult, there was no vegetables, vegetables and rice, and everyone had to go hungry, and the Han people across the city had fragrant rice and cooking cakes, how could those tribes not be blushing?
Now open to the market, the most important thing is grain and grass, the imperial court allocated dozens of carts of grain to the border city, just to trade with the Xiongnu, in exchange for some ore back.
Taking advantage of the day, Pan'er gave Luan Yu a thick stack of silver tickets, and asked her to buy some gold and silver jewelry, as well as silk of good color, and give Jin Ling as a dowry at the bottom of the box.
As Agutai said before, the day of the opening of the mutual market was the time when he brought Jin Ling back to the grassland, even if the woman was reluctant, but in the face of the leader of the grassland, she had no room for resistance, so she could only get into the big red carriage and follow the Huns' convoy and leave the border city.
After the opening of the market, even if Pan'er has a big belly, about to give birth, the spirit is much better than before, and when the Huns transported the rare cinnabar mine to the border city, Pan'er was simply overjoyed, whether the cinnabar is used as medicine or as a pigment, it is not worse than the same quality of gold essence.
Although the cinnabar produced by the cinnabar mine outside the gate is not in good condition, but I have made gold essence stone once, and it is not difficult for Pan'er to deal with cinnabar ore this time.
Chu Liang knew the little daughter-in-law's thoughts, and specially instructed his guards to buy a bunch of ores and come back, and did not put them in the yard, but found another house, put away these mineral deposits, and waited until Pan'er successfully gave birth to the child in her belly, and it was not too late to get these things.
The couple bought a lot of ores, and Pan'er was thinking about whether to go back to the capital to open a jewelry shop, specializing in selling those novel bead hairpin necklaces and other things.
Chu Liang and his wife wanted to leave for Beijing, naturally they couldn't hide it, in addition to these officials and their families who lived in the county guard's mansion, even Ling Yueniang, who was far away, also got the news.
Hearing the maid under her hand say this, Ling Yueniang's delicate face couldn't help but twist, and her expression looked extremely hideous.
Rushing out of the bedroom, Ling Yueniang went directly to the door of the study, pushed the carved wooden door open, and roared at Ling Yuanwen:
"Brother, do you know, my cousin is leaving for Beijing!"
Putting the woman's sharp voice in his ears, Ling Yuanwen looked at his sister's distorted face, and wondered how complicated it was in his heart.
In all fairness, he thinks his cousin is very good, but he is not the only man in this world, and he doesn't know what kind of demon Yueniang has, so he will be reduced to the virtue he is now.
"Now that the Xiongnu and Daye have negotiated peace, my cousin, as a general, naturally doesn't have to stay here, as long as the garrison guarding the city is left here."
Seeing Ling Yuanwen's calm expression, Ling Yueniang suddenly understood that her good brother had already gotten the news, but he had been hiding it from her.
Gritting her teeth, Ling Yueniang stepped forward in a few steps, her eyes were bloodshot, and she said in a wail: "Brother, why do you want to hide such a big thing from Yueniang?" In a desolate realm like a border city, my sister has already stayed enough, shall we go back? ”
Ling Yuanwen's face has not changed, if it were in the past, he would be extremely distressed when facing his sister who was crying and crying, but since he recognized the true face of Yueniang, Ling Yuanwen knew very well how tough his sister's heart was, and tears were just one of a woman's weapons, which did not mean how sad and sad she was in her heart.
"Your brother and I are the head of the fire, so naturally I can't go back to Beijing with General Dingbei, and I have to stay at the border for a few more years."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ling Yueniang's piercing scream.
"I don't agree, Ling Yuanwen, you are the biological brother of my mother's compatriots, how can you be so ruthless? I'm already over twenty, how can I get married if I continue to stumble? Are you going to ruin my whole life? ”
Remembering that Ling Yueniang had a miscarriage and was covered in blood, Ling Yuanwen couldn't help frowning, and infinite guilt surged in his heart.
The brother and sister grew up together since childhood, Ling Yueniang naturally knows her brother very well, she pulled the corner of the man's clothes, slowly squatted down, bit her lip, and slowly said: "Brother, you should help Yueniang once, I have long forgotten my cousin, I only think about marrying well and having children, and I don't dare to have any crooked thoughts anymore, you send me back to Beijing!" ”
