Chapter 52: Harmony
"Zi'an, grandmother didn't mean that. [[No. &9^ Chinese^$] "Wan Mu has always regarded Wan Zi'an as the meat of her heart, at this time, seeing her grandson angry, where can she still sit still, she stood up from the chair, trembling and about to walk towards her grandson, Wen Minyi saw this, so she quickly came forward and supported her mother-in-law's body.
"What grandmother thinks, grandson knows very well." Wan Zi'an waved away his grandmother's arm.
"Zi'an, you should also understand in your heart that with your uncle here, we can't keep her."
"I'd like to see if he dares!" Wan Zi'an clenched his fingers, his eyes were like a beam of cold light, interrupting his grandmother's words, "Let's see if he will really grab a woman with his own nephew, and see if he will be ruined for a woman!" ”
"Zi'an!" Wan Mu shouted out her grandson's name.
Wan Zi'an didn't care at all, his eyes were full of hatred, and he said to his grandmother word by word; "Just let Chen Qingzhou stay in this general's mansion, and don't let her go! He won't let me marry the county lord, and I won't let him have a good time! ”
After Wan Zi'an finished speaking, he didn't look at his grandmother again, and he didn't care about Wen Minyi's face, and left the hall with his sleeves brushed.
Chen's house.
"How's it going?" When Jiang heard the movement, his eyelids jumped suddenly, and he asked the person who came.
Mama took two steps forward and walked to Jiang's side, only then did she lower her voice; "Madame, don't worry, those bandits don't know our identity at all, no matter how General Wan's people investigate, they can't find Madame."
When Jiang heard this, she was slightly relieved, she narrowed her eyes, remembering that she had fallen short that day, and she didn't let those thieves ruin Chen Qingzhou's innocence, and she secretly hated it in her heart.
"A bunch of garbage, you can't even do this little thing." Every time Jiang thought of it, he was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched.
"Madam, that day, General Wan personally led people to rescue the second miss." Mama nodded.
"So what?" Jiang Shi frowned, "That Wanzhong Mountain is too, the dignified general, he will personally save that cheap maid, and he is not afraid of losing his identity!" ”
"Madame doesn't know," Mama hesitated for a moment, only attached to Jiang's ear, and whispered a few words.
"Really?" Jiang couldn't believe it.
"It's true, the old slave also heard that when they were on the frontier, the general and the second miss were a little unclear, and the general once jumped off the cliff to save the second lady's life regardless of his life."
Hearing this, Jiang's eyes lit up, but the corners of his lips floated with a sneer, "Sure enough, there is a mother and a daughter, at a young age, even an uncle has to seduce, it's really shameless!" ”
After speaking, Jiang Shi commanded again; "Let those rumors spread as strongly as possible, so that our master can see the good daughter he raised!"
"Madam, according to the old slave's humble opinion, the eldest lady will enter the palace for the draft soon, if there are rumors about the second miss at this time, I am afraid that the reputation of the eldest lady will not be very good." Mama said respectfully.
"You have a point," Jiang Shi came back to her senses in an instant, she frowned slightly, and asked; "Light as the name, has it been sent to the palace?"
"Madame, don't worry, the eldest lady's name is high on the list, and Chu Xiuge's side is also dotted up and down."
When Jiang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, remembered his daughter-in-law, and only said slowly; "The hopes of the Chen family are all pinned on Qingru."
Imperial Palace, Yuan He Palace.
Gonggong Cao stood silently aside, while Li Yunzhao sat in front of the desk, his slender fingers crossed the list, and suddenly, the man's fingers stopped.
Gonggong Cao looked at it intently, and saw Li Yunzhao's fingers stop on the three words "Chen Qingru".
He lowered his eyes and said respectfully; "Emperor Qiqi, Chen Qingru is the daughter of Chen Jinzhong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who is seventeen years old, and it is said that she is a chess, qin, calligraphy and painting, all of which are fine."
"Chen Qingru?" Li Yunzhao silently recited these three words, but a pair of clear and clear eyes that could reflect his figure floated in his mind.
"Is it her sister?" Li Yunzhao asked.
"Exactly." Gonggong Cao knew who the "she" in Li Yunzhao's mouth was referring to.
"Hmm." Li Yunzhao withdrew his fingers and put the list aside.
"Forgive the old slave for talking too much, the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, if you really look at anyone, you might as well "
"No," Li Yunzhao waved his hand and said, "It's not time yet." ”
"The old slave is terrified." Gonggong Cao leaned over and didn't dare to say more.
"After all, she is the female dependant of the General's Mansion," Li Yunzhao played with the wrench in his hand and spoke slowly, "Now is the critical time of the frontier war, how can Lone offend my General Zhenyuan of Daqi for a woman?" ”
"The emperor is the king, and General Wan is just a minister." Gonggong Cao said respectfully.
When Li Yunzhao heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "Do you know that Gu wanted to marry Yunyin that day, and Wanzhong Mountain entered the palace, and with his head and Gu as a guarantee, he would win this battle and ask Gu to take back his life." ”
Gonggong Cao was taken aback, "General Wan means this, but I don't know why?" ”
The emperor personally gave the marriage and promised the county lord, which is undoubtedly a great honor, and Gonggong Cao really can't understand why Wanzhong Mountain has come to this.
Li Yunzhao's eyes flashed, "He is protecting her like this, thinking that it is for the sake of that girl, lest she be abandoned by her husband and make people laugh." ”
Gonggong Cao was stunned, thought for a moment, and then said; "Your Majesty, the old slave has some words, but I don't know whether to say them or not."
"Just say it."
"General Wan has been famous for many years, and he has always been clean, and I heard that the general's mansion has not even had a concubine for many years, but recently, there have been some rumors in the market."
"What kind of gossip is it?" Li Yunzhao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Gonggong Cao then said something.
After Li Yunzhao listened, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his lips were also slightly smiling, "Yes, this thing is really getting more and more interesting." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Yunzhao's eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Gonggong Cao only stood by and didn't dare to say anything. "But such a little beauty I feel sorry for, I feel distressed even when I look at it alone, let alone Wanzhong Mountain."
"The emperor is a hero and is sad to pass the beauty pass." Gonggong Cao bowed and said respectfully.
Li Yunzhao was noncommittal, and suddenly asked; "What's her husband's name?"
"Back to the emperor, General Wan's nephew, named Wan Zi'an."
"What does he like to do on weekdays?"
"I heard that I don't learn and don't know how to do it on weekdays, but recently I love to bow for ten minutes."
"Strike?" Li Yunzhao chewed these two words, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled faintly.
Since Wan Chongshan left, Qingzhou stayed in his yard every day, and Wan Zi'an came back occasionally, and seemed to have completely forgotten that there was such a character as her in the house, and only lived in the backyard. Only when he is drunk, Wan Zi'an will come to Qingzhou's house, and he is mostly drunk and crazy, throwing things, Qingzhou follows him in everything, even if he is wronged, he suffers alone.
Xu is seeing that Qingzhou is so supple, Wan Zi'an is also gradually losing the interest in torturing her, Wan Chongshan is not in Beijing, he is even more unrestrained, and he has not returned to the house later, bowed during the day, and rested in Yichun Building at night, and it is rumored that Wan Zi'an and Yichun Lou's Oiran Mingxiang are hot, and there is a momentum to marry him back to take a concubine.
Qingzhou didn't take this to heart at all, she stayed up in Wanfu every day, and the only thing she paid attention to was the news from the front line.
At the beginning of March, Wan Chongshan had already led the army back to Yanzhou, started a big battle with the Liao people, and sent back to Jingshi, sometimes with good news and bad news, only let her heart hang all the time, without the slightest relaxation.
Evening.
Forsythia was holding hot water, and as soon as she walked into the house, she saw Qingzhou sitting there, and when she saw her come in, Qingzhou immediately turned around, but even so, Forsythia still saw it, and Qingzhou's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Forsythia put the basin down and stepped forward to speak softly.
Qingzhou shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that I miss my mother a little." ”
"Miss went back to see the fourth grandmother just the day before yesterday, why did she think like this?" Forsythia couldn't bear to look at it, and whispered; "Miss, are you worried about the general?"
As soon as Forsythia's words fell, Qingzhou's nose suddenly became sore, she suppressed the heat in her eyes, and whispered: "Forsythia, I know I shouldn't think about him like this, but I'm really afraid"
"Miss is afraid that the general will be injured? Or are you afraid that the general will never come back? Forsythia squatted down in front of Qingzhou, and as soon as her words fell, Qingzhou had already stretched out his hand and covered Forsythia's mouth with horror in his eyes.
Seeing this, Forsythia sighed, "Miss, the general is your uncle." After speaking, Forsythia paused and added; What's more, there is also Mrs. Wen, miss, don't embarrass yourself. ”
"yes." Qingzhou's voice was very soft, she lowered her head, thinking of the Wanzhong Mountain in the distance, only to feel that her heart was sour and bitter, as if she was soaking in Coptis chinensis, but this kind of suffering, but she couldn't even say a word.
In mid-April, there was good news from the frontier, Wan Chongshan led the troops to shoot the Liao general Yelu Yanming in one fell swoop, the soldiers forced to the Mobei grassland, after this battle, the Liao people's vitality was greatly injured, had to retreat to the Great Liao, Wan Chongshan led the cavalry to take advantage of the victory to pursue, all the way forward bravely, never retreated, and killed the Liao people to defeat the army.
At the beginning of May, news came from the frontier again, only to say that Wanzhongshan was rewarded and punished clearly in the army, and the army was strictly organized, on the eve of the war with the Liao, Wanzhongshan ordered people to find out thousands of soldiers who had made mistakes from the army, and wanted to behead them all, after getting the army division Jiangzhen to beg for mercy, Wanzhongshan ordered more than 1,000 of them to be the vanguard, and went to attack the enemy formation, if they could not break through the enemy's defense, those who returned from the defeat were all executed, and then sent more than 1,000 people, all of whom were the same disposition, and the soldiers were all frightened, all of them had the heart of death, and they followed one after another, bravely killed the enemy, and beat the Liao people to Yanmen Mountain, without the power to parry.
In the middle of June, there was news that only Dao Wanzhong Mountain led the army to chase all the way to the Hulun Mountains, and made a surprise long-distance attack on the Liao army, and the army was unstoppable, forcing the Great Khan of the Liao State to order a begging surrender, and wanted to send his daughter Princess Nalan to make peace with Daqi and marry Qin and Jin.
