Chapter 25: Deep Fall (4K, Ask for Pink Ticket)
"The arrival of the king is really a disappointment!" Zhou Huaili arched his hand in surprise and rolled over from the horse.
Wang Yixing also got off the horse and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to marry in two months?" Why do you still go out early and return late? What have you been up to lately? ”
Zhou Huaili said with a bitter face: "What am I busy with, doesn't Wang Xianghui know?" You see, there has been such a big case in Jingshi recently, and the Holy Lord said at the court meeting that Gyeonggi was poorly guarded, and it was only my name. I had no choice but to atone for my sins, and take people outside every day to personally inspect them, even if I was a little tired, I couldn't make any more mistakes. ”
Wang Yixing stood beside the horse, smiled and stood with his hands in his hands, and said, "Actually, the Holy One is not talking about you, don't blame yourself too much." General Zhang's case, even if you were next to you at the time, couldn't stop it. ”
"But it's better than being reprimanded by the saint." Zhou Huaili sighed and shook his head, and asked Wang Yixing, "Okay, don't talk about me, you must have something to do when you come to our house." Let's talk about it and see if I can help you. ”
Wang Yixing wanted to shake his head, but then he thought about it, Zhou Huaili had always been cultivated as the heir of the Divine General's Mansion before, and in his early years, the Divine General took him with him, personally raised him, and even took him to the battlefield......
"Huaili, speaking of which, maybe you can do me a favor in this matter." Wang Yixing said with a smile.
"Then go in and say, go in and say." Zhou Huaili hurriedly threw the reins to the little servant, and took Wang Yixing into the corner gate of the Divine General's Mansion again.
The two came to Zhou Huaili and sat down in the outer study of the Shenjiang Mansion, holding the tea sent by his subordinates, and talking about things.
"That's right, the northern Tartars are ready to move. Harassed me many times on the northern border of Great Xia. The saint originally wanted General Zhenguo to go to Leizhou in the north to patrol the border. But General Zhenguo said that there was something at home and he couldn't go for the time being. The Holy Lord agreed, and ordered me to ask the God General, but the God General also said that he was too sick to get out of bed, and he could not go to the north to patrol the border. Wang Yixing put down the teacup and frowned.
Zhou Huaili nodded, "I've also heard about the northern Tartars." It's a little tricky. I heard that they were not inferior to the barbarians of the west? ”
"They are no worse than the barbarians in the west in terms of combat power, but they are more civilized and intelligent than the barbarians in the west, so they ...... In my opinion, it's even more difficult to deal with. Wang Yixing said while glancing at Zhou Huaili with a smile, and said deliberately: "In fact, the difficulty is greater, and the credit will be greater." Don't hide it from Brother Huaili, General Zhang was suddenly killed, and General Yipin was vacant. Anyone, as long as there is a chance. will be able to rise to the challenge. ”
Zhou Huaili's heart thumped, hesitated for a long time, and arched his hand to Wang Yixing: "If Wang Xiang and the Holy Lord are really embarrassed, why don't Huaili share your worries?" After speaking, he smiled again and said, "But I am not as good as my lobby brother and uncle, I can only do my best." ”
Wang Yixing waited for his words, and said with a smile: "It's good that you have this heart, but I remember that you are going to get married in two months, if the matter in the north cannot be solved within two months, what should you do?" ”
Zhou Huaili thought for a while and said resolutely: "A manly man, there should be a distinction between light and heavy things. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. Killing enemies for the country is loyalty, and marrying a wife and having children is filial piety. If there is a conflict between the two, Huaili is naturally loyal! After speaking, he said: "But I will go and explain it to Siniang." She is a reasonable person and will definitely support me. ”
Wang Yixing smiled very kindly, nodded again and again: "Brother Huaili really understands righteousness and knows how to advance and retreat!" Much better than your lobby brother. Although your brother is unparalleled in battle, he is a little better than his mother-in-law. My wife just gave birth to a child, and she wasn't about to give birth, so she didn't go to the north to patrol the border. ”
Zhou Huaili knew that Wang Yixing had a thorn in his heart for Zhou Huaixuan, and Wang Yixing would not let go of any opportunity to hack Zhou Huaixuan, nor would he break it, but just said with a smile: "Wang Xiang, what you said is not kind." If your wife is going to have a baby, I'm afraid you will do better than my lobby brother! ”
Wang Yixing was in a trance for a moment, but quickly regained his mind and said with a smile: "As you said, there should be a distinction between the importance of doing things, how can private affairs obstruct official affairs?" In this regard, Huaili and I coincide. After saying that, he laughed.
The two of them each bowed their heads and drank tea, knowing that the other party was actually insincere.
……
After Wang Yixing left, Zhou Huaili sat alone in the outer study for a while, and when he saw that it was already dark, he slowly got up, called someone in, and said: "Go and send a post to Jiang Hou's Mansion, just say that I will visit tomorrow, and I have to explain some things to Jiang Hou Ye and the ancestors of the Jiang family." ”
He returned to the inner courtyard of the Divine General's Mansion from the outer courtyard and went straight to Songtao Garden to prepare for dinner.
When he went, he saw that no one from the big house had come.
The eldest uncle said that the adult Zhou Chengzong was sick and recuperated in Lanshui Hospital. Of course, Aunt Feng and Grandma Feng had to take care of him, so she didn't come.
The lobby brother Zhou Huaixuan and the lobby sister-in-law Sheng Siyan did not come, saying that many centipedes suddenly appeared in the backyard of Qingyuan Hall, and the young grandmother was frightened, and she couldn't move.
Zhou Huaili understood what was going on, and couldn't help but be speechless, bored for a long time, and asked Old Man Zhou: "...... Qingyuan Hall backyard near the lake, isn't it normal to have centipedes? ”
It's just a centipede, and it's scared like this, and The's squeamish.
Old Man Zhou didn't raise his head and said: "One or two is indeed normal, what about dozens or hundreds?" ”
"Huh? So much! Zhou Huaili was taken aback, then he felt a little tired, wiped his sweat, and said curtly: "I see, I see." And he said, "What about the flower maker who remediates the backyard?" A few boards should be thrown out. ”
"Okay, Huaili, this is a matter of the other room, what are you doing so enthusiastically?" Grandma Wu San interrupted him unhappily, "Eat, eat." ”
Zhou Huaili smiled hurriedly and stopped talking.
After the servants finished serving the meal, Old Man Zhou and Old Lady Zhou raised their chopsticks, everyone picked up their chopsticks to eat.
After dinner, Zhou Huaili sent Grandma Wu San and Master Wednesday back to Furong Liuxie.
When he was on the road, he revealed a little bit what he had just said to Wang Yixing.
Grandma Wu San was both happy and worried, and said hesitantly: "It's good, it's good, but if the Tartars really call, you ...... You...... Can you handle it? ”
Zhou Huaili pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Mother." You don't even believe me? ”
"It's not that I don't believe you. You are my son. No matter how capable she is, she can't rest assured. Grandma Wu San wiped her tears sideways. It's my father's incompetence, my son's life is hard, and he has to fight for his life. ”
Wednesday Ye hurriedly persuaded: "Don't think so. Didn't Huaixuan's fame also come from hard work? Even if Li'er can be a god general and inherit the god general's mansion, he will have to fight with his life for the rest of his life......"
"Be quiet!" Grandma Wu San hurriedly interrupted his words and looked around, "These words let a few people in the big room hear it, and they won't tear you alive!" That's someone else's stuff. How can others covet it? Grandma Wu San said with a sour voice.
Zhou Huaili's eyes flashed, and he said, "Mother, I have already sent a post to the Jiang family, and I will personally come to the door tomorrow to explain this matter to the Marquis Jiang and the ancestor of the Jiang family." ”
"What's the matter with them?" Grandma Wu San was puzzled, "You haven't been their son-in-law yet!" ”
Zhou Ye understood, nodded with a smile, and said, "I want to say it." He said to Grandma Wu San: "Look, in two months, Huaili will get married." But he suddenly had to go to the north to patrol the border. If he does go to war with the Tartars, he may not be able to return within two months. ”
"Huh?" Grandma Wu San was taken aback. "What then? You'd better get married first, and wait for your daughter-in-law to get pregnant before leaving! ”
Zhou Huaili couldn't help blushing. said in a low voice: "That's not necessary, even if the war starts, it's still okay for me to take the time to come back and get married." It is only a few days away from the capital to Leizhou Kuaima, and it is just a few days away. ”
……
Early the next morning, before Zhou Huaili left for the Jianghou Mansion, Wang Yixing came to the Shenjiang Mansion with the will of Emperor Xia Zhao, and gave the errand of inspecting Leizhou in the north to the fourth son of the Shenjiang Mansion, who was also the guard of Gyeonggi Zhou Huaili.
Zhou Huaili hurriedly accepted the order, turned around and went to Jiang Hou's mansion.
"Marquis Jiang, the Holy Lord has just announced that I will go to Leizhou in the north to patrol the border, I specially came to tell you, you don't have to worry, the wedding date will not be delayed." Zhou Huaili smiled and offered a generous gift.
Jiang Houye was very surprised, and said, "Go to Leizhou in the north to patrol the border?" Not an errand for the general of Zhenguo? It's your lobby brother, isn't it? ”
Zhou Huaili nodded, "My lobby brother has some family affairs to do, so he can't go for the time being." He added, "My eldest uncle is sick in bed, and you know that this is the time when we need the help of our gods." The food of the king, the worry of the loyal king, my god will be supported by the Great Xia court for thousands of years, and the corpse can't be a vegetarian meal, right? ”
Hearing this, Marquis Jiang nodded again and again, and said, "Huaili, I love to hear what you say." The person who can be loyal to the court wholeheartedly is my good son-in-law of Jiang Suifeng! ”
Zhou Huaili pursed his lips and smiled, and said with relief: "I didn't expect that Hou Ye Jiang was so easy to speak, I originally came over hard, and I was scolded by Hou Ye, as long as you can get angry, you can beat me and scold me." ”
"What am I scolding you for?" Jiang Houye said with a smile, "You are worried about the saint, it's too late for me to be happy." You can go with confidence, if you can't come back in time, you can change the marriage date. ”
"Don't! Don't! Zhou Huaili hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I came to ask you for the guilt, but I don't want to change the marriage date." After speaking, his face flushed, and he said writhingly: "...... I want to marry Siniang, I've been thinking about it for a long time, you must not push it anymore......"
Hearing Zhou Huaili's rare heartfelt words, Marquis Jiang laughed heartily and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, my daughter will be handed over to you, don't worry!" ”
Zhou Huaili hurriedly arched his hand, and said a few more official things before he said, "I still have to go to the inner courtyard to see the ancestor." ”
"Go, go, do you want me to lead you in?" Jiang Houye said very happily.
"No need. Someone outside led me in. "Zhou Huaili is now a coquettish guest in Jiang Hou's Mansion, and Jiang Hou's Mansion is polite to him from top to bottom, and he is very respectful.
Zhou Huaili followed his mother-in-law to the courtyard where the ancestor of the Jiang family lived in the inner courtyard, bowed down to the ancestor on the seat and said, "Ancestor, I'm bothered." ”
"Huaili is polite, sit." The ancestor of the Jiang family smiled and ordered someone to serve tea.
Zhou Huaili sat down sideways and repeated what he had just said to Marquis Jiang.
The ancestor of the Jiang family listened and was speechless for a long time.
Zhou Huaili took a sip of tea with some uneasiness.
"In this matter, did you take the initiative to ask for it, or did the saint pick you?" The ancestor of the Jiang family is really not easy to fool, and the problem is straight to the point.
Zhou Huaili hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "It was the prince who came to our mansion to find my eldest uncle, and I met him, only to know that both of us in the family had politely rejected the will of the imperial court. I'm not as talented as Brother Lobby and Uncle Uncle, but I can barely give it a try, and besides, my Divine Mansion has been supported by Great Xia for thousands of years, and I can't retreat in case of trouble. Since the elder brother and the eldest uncle can't go, then I took the initiative to ask for help, also to understand the urgent need of the saint. ”
The Jiang family is the mother family of Emperor Xia Zhao.
Zhou Huaili said this, the ancestor of the Jiang family really couldn't find a mistake.
It's just that she is a woman in the end, and she still prefers the girl of her own family.
"That being said, you're going to get married in two months. This time I went to Leizhou, but when will I come back? The old ancestor of the Jiang family asked with a sigh.
"This time, because the north is disturbed by the Tartars, the specific situation will not be known until I go." Zhou Huaili said cautiously, "Ancestor, the military situation must not be exposed, and I hope that the ancestor will be compassionate." ”
This is a matter of Leizhou, and he can't say more to the ancestors of the Jiang family.
The ancestor of the Jiang family nodded hurriedly and said, "I naturally know, this is a vain question." You also know that Siniang grew up beside me since she was a child. Her marriage has been going on for so long, and I, as an ancestor, am also very uneasy, afraid that I will be sorry for her and spoil her for the rest of my life......"
Zhou Huaili hurriedly said: "Ancestor, rest assured, I, Zhou Huaili, can't guarantee that Siniang will be rich and noble for the rest of her life, but since she is my wife, I will never let her suffer half a grievance in this life!" ”
Jiang Siniang, who was hiding behind the screen to avoid it, was heartbroken.
From the gap in the screen plywood, she looked at Zhou Huaili's tall silhouette and handsome and handsome face, and her heart completely sank into it.
The old ancestor of the Jiang family was also shocked by Zhou Huaili's words, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "I will remember what you said today." After speaking, he smiled and said to Jiang Siniang, who was hiding behind the screen, "Siniang, come out." Since Huaili is about to go to Leizhou, we can't take care of those false courtesies. - Go and see him off. ”
This is what it means to let Jiang Siniang send Zhou Huaili out.
Jiang Siniang hurriedly came out from behind the screen, bowed her head in response, then turned to look at Zhou Huaili, and said with a slight smile: "The son of Thursday serves the country, and Siniang admires it so much." As he spoke, he raised his hand: "This way, please." ”
Generous, gentle and considerate.
Zhou Huaili looked at her intently, and said busily: "No need." The sun is poisonous outside, and the province is sunburning, so just send it to the bottom of the cloister at the door. ”
Jiang Siniang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "There are hand-copying verandahs along the way, and they won't be sunburned." As he spoke, he pulled out and walked out first.
Zhou Huaili hurriedly saluted the ancestor of the Jiang family, turned around and followed Jiang Siniang out of the hall door.
