Chapter 68: Wei Zijing
In this year's Dragon Boat Festival, as usual, the dragon boat team of Zhenwu Army won the first prize.
The second bidder was Tingyang Chen.
Tingyang is the county name of Tingzhou.
The Tingyang Chen family is the No. 1 scholar family in Tingzhou, but in the genealogy of the Tang Dynasty, it can only be included in the family with the surname C. Today's dragon boat race has a long face in front of the Xiao family, and the head of the Chen family is full of chrysanthemums and smiles.
The third bidder was Tingyang Muhamnes.
There is no Tingyang Mu family on the genealogy of the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, because this Mu family is the nine surnames of Zhaowu.
Zhaowu nine surnames are the Han Dynasty when the Yue people, because the Xiongnu broke the west, the branch was divided into kings, there are Kang, An, Cao, Shi, He, Mu nine surnames, with Zhaowu as the clan, so called Zhaowu nine surnames.
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Yueshi people led by the surname Zhaowu were collectively known as the Lite people, and the various tribes established more than a dozen small states in the Western Regions, and the Tang Empire conquered the Western Regions, and these small Sogdian states became the prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty, which were incorporated into Hexi Province and later Anxi Protectorate.
These Lite people, who became the Tang Dynasty household Qi people, because they were good at business, with the continuous development of trade routes, there were many branches that migrated eastward, and the Tingyang Mu family was a branch of the Zhaowu nine surnamed Mu who moved eastward, and had taken root in Tingzhou for more than 100 years, and was a well-known family in Tingzhou - but it was not included in the genealogy, because the Mu family belonged to the merchant family.
Therefore, although Mu Shi can be called the richest man in Tingzhou, he is not qualified to sit on the high platform to watch the dragon boat race.
And Mu won the third prizeβin fact, he had the strength to win the second bid, but it was obviously unwise to offend the first scholar of Tingzhouβand he was given the opportunity to go up to the high platform to receive the reward, and the opportunity to be awarded by the prince of the Siu family himself.
The head of the Mu family was very excited, and before he stepped on stage, he sorted out his movements and what he wanted to say over and over again.
Xiao Cong's smile was soft and gentle, with the reserved elegance engraved in the bones of the family's surname, and his eyes were as warm as jade, the head of the Mu family felt that this prince gave people the feeling that it was not like the head of the Chen family, when he raised his chin to talk to him, he secretly had contempt and disdain and a condescending look in his heart.
This made the head of the Mu family feel comfortable, and he thought: This is the real family!
β¦β¦
After the dragon boat race, there is an annual Dragon Boat Banquet, which is held in the Assassin's Mansion, and is attended by civil and military officials and scholars in Tingzhou. For a while, there was a surge of people and a rush of cars. A group of soldiers rushed to maintain order, diverted the people and horses, cleared the road, and let the carriages and horses attending the banquet return to the city first.
Xiao Cong's carriage and horses did not return to the city first, he and Shen Qingyi respectively talked with the generals and captains of the Zhenwu Army and their families under the high platform, until most of the carriages and horses in front of them traveled back to the city with the carriages and horses of the generals and horses of the Zhenwu Army.
Entering the city and arriving at the gate of the Thorn Mansion, everyone got off the chariot and horse.
Tingzhou Thorn Shi and several scholars greeted each other in front of the door.
Xiao Cong and Wei Jingshou entered hand in hand, followed by Xiao Yan and the two lieutenants of the Zhenwu Army, followed by the Zhudu Lieutenants of the Zhenwu Army and the six Langjun of the Wei family. On the side of the female relatives personally greeted by Mrs. Thorn Shi, Shen Qingyi and Mrs. Ma also entered together, and behind them were the five daughters-in-law and five little ladies of the Wei family.
This kind of peer scene has made many people understand, and it seems that Xiao Shizi has received the support of the Zhenwu Army.
The Dragon Boat Festival banquet is full of singing and dancing, and the banquet is the second quarter of Shen Zheng, which is close to the unitary time.
Xiao Cong's carriage and horses were still walking with Wei Jingshou's family, and when they returned to the general's mansion, the two families laughed and said goodbye, and each went back to each hospital.
Xiao Cong and his entourage returned to the Grand View Courtyard, and they bathed and changed their clothes without mentioning.
Xiao Yan bathed out of the screen, changed into a royal blue robe with a round neck and missing crotch, wore an autumn water knife, and said to Qinghui: "When my brother and sister-in-law asked, they said that I walked around the courtyard and came back after dark." β
"Whoa." Qinghui replied, raised her eyes slightly, and saw that her two eyebrows were frowning, and she didn't look very happy.
Qinghui thought to herself that Seventeen Langjun had not been happy lately...... Her lips pursed, wanting to care for a few words, but she didn't open her mouth after all. I vaguely felt in my heart that Seventeen Langjun was unhappy, and it was better to ask if it was related to the young lady, or not to ask.
Xiao Yan put on a mask and went out of the room. She was depressed, and when she got out of the courtyard, she turned and walked north. She remembered that there was a small forest in the north, planted with more than a dozen thousand leaf peach trees, and there was a small pavilion outside the peach forest. When she saw the pavilion from afar, she stopped.
There was already a slender figure in the pavilion, sitting sideways facing the peach forest. Outside the pavilion, there was a servant girl standing with her hands down.
When Xiao Yan was hesitating whether to continue forward, the maid had already seen Xiao Yan, and said to the pavilion with a light "ah", "Lady, someone is here." β
When the girl heard the prestige, she said in a soft voice: "But Xiao Seventeen Langjun? β
Xiao Yan recognized her silhouette when she saw it, it was Wei Zijing, the second daughter of General Wei and Mrs. Ma, and the fifth mother of the Wei family.
When she sat there quietly, she was as beautiful as a painting.
She has seen all the little ladies in the General's Mansion, because she and General Wei's family went to the garden, played wooden shooting, and had a few "casual banquets", and she had met with a few little ladies. This Wei Wuniang is very quiet, not as lively and refreshing as her sisters, but her appearance and temperament are extremely outstanding, and it is difficult for people not to pay attention. But Xiao Yan paid attention to her because she found that the fourth brother looked at her a few more times. This "look more" is not obvious, but Xiao Yan is worried about the matter of "will the fourth brother take a concubine", and she will be vigilant against the little ladies who appear around Xiao Cong, and this vigilance will find Xiao Cong's subtle attention. She suddenly felt bad, so she wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her sister. But since they lived in the General's Mansion, Shen Qingyi had never been alone with her, and Xiao Yan had no chance to mention it at all. I have been worried about her for the past two days, and I feel that Shen Qingyi is alienated from her, and I feel more and more depressed.
She was in a bad mood, so she didn't want to see this Wei Wu Lady at all.
He replied: "It's not good to disturb the fifth lady, I'll leave first." β
"Seventeen Lang-kun, please wait."
Xiao Yan stopped and looked back.
Wei Zijing stepped down from the pavilion, walked over with a curling voice, stood four feet away from Xiao Yan, and said softly, "Seventeen Langjun, can you let me see your face?" β
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Wei Zijing looked at her quietly, there was no curiosity in her eyes, nor the enthusiasm of those little ladies at the banquet to look at her, as quiet as a painting, as if the request just said was ordinary.
Xiao Yan squinted his eyebrows and raised his chin, "Why did you show it?" Don't you know if it's rude? She had "scabies on her face."
Wei Zijing's voice was soft and quiet, "Because, a decision needs to be made." β
Xiao Yan looked at her for a while.
Under the peach blossom tree of a thousand leaves, she is like a magnolia, not competing for fans, white, beautiful, and independent.
Xiao Yan suddenly said: "You're not afraid that my face is full of sores and scabies to scare you?" β
Wei Zijing still said in a soft and quiet voice, "No." β
Is it not intimidating, or is it not full of scabies?
Xiao Yan suddenly felt that this Wei Wuniang was very interesting.
She looked at her for a moment.
Her gaze was bright, but sharp, making people feel that the brightness was not the clarity of crystal, but the flash of the cold blade.
In other words, if she is an ordinary little lady, she has long been terrified.
But she is still calm and peaceful, beautiful as a painting.
Xiao Yan suddenly walked straight towards her.
Wei Zi stood there quietly, still moving.
When Xiao Yan approached her a foot forward, his footsteps suddenly turned to the side, crossed her forward, took a step and turned around, his back to the pavilion.
She lifted her hand to unmask her.
At that moment, even the peach blossoms were quiet.
People say that men are seen under the moon, and women are seen under the lamp.
Wei Zijing felt that the face under the sunset was more beautiful than the beauty under the moonlight.
She sighed softly, "Seventeen Langjun is better to wear a mask." β¦β¦ This scabies is really scary. β
Xiao Yan coughed, "Now you know you're scared?" "This woman is really interesting.
Wei Zijing sighed lightly, "Got it." β
Xiao Yan felt that the "knowing" she said corresponded to her previous sentence of "a decision needs to be made".
"What do you know?" She couldn't help but ask.
Wei Zijing looked at her eyes, which were like ink-dotted eyes, with the purest black, but as clear and shining as glass crystals, and as clear and unstained as the clear spring of the valley, which made people want to have ...... She shook her head with a smile and said, "Just understood one thing." β
Xiao Yan said: "Then you decided?" β
Wei Zijing said: "It's decided." He bowed with his right hand, "Thank you." β
Xiao Yan's lips moved, but she still didn't ask her what she had decided.
Wei Zijing saluted again, and when he passed by Xiao Yan's side, he paused and said softly: "Seventeen Langjun like this will make many women sad." "And she didn't want to be one of them. Since you can't get it, don't be tempted in the first place.
Xiao Yan was puzzled: What do you mean by this?
She thought for a while, looked up at the peach blossoms on the tree, and touched the five-colored silk rope on her left wrist with her right hand, and her expression became stunned.
It's getting dark.
The floor lamps and gilded candlesticks in the room were bright, and Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi were buried in front of the case, doing their own things.
Xiao Cong was writing the patrol records, and Shen Qingyi was flipping through the documents of the military medical system -- this was brought back by Xiao Cong's patrol yesterday, and she had to watch it later.
On the way to the carriage, Xiao Cong successively talked to Shen Qingyi about the army's medical and wounded system, the medical officer setting of the Hexi Army, and the high mortality rate of wounded soldiers. He didn't expect his wife to solve these problems, but he felt that with Shen Qingyi's medical attainments and good medicine, he should be able to improve the existing situation, and as long as he improved a little, it would be a great benefit.
"How?" Xiao Cong asked after seeing Shen Qingyi finish reading.
Shen Qingyi said: "I have to go to the army to have a look." β
Xiao Cong said: "Naturally, I want to go to the army to have a look." Wei Huaihua has been holding back for the past few days, I think he has long wanted to knock on the side and ask you about the healing medicine. -- If you ask to go to the army, he will want to drive you in a carriage himself. He laughed first.
Shen Qingyi also smiled, raised his eyes to look at the window, and said in his heart: It's already dark.
Xiao Cong flipped through the schedule of the codex, looked at the plan, looked up and said to Shen Qingyi: "It's the day after tomorrow." β
Shen Qingyi turned his head and asked Bai Su, "What are the banquets for the day after tomorrow?" β
Bai Su took out the schedule list and said, "At noon the day after tomorrow, Governor Shi will have a banquet. β
Xiao Cong thought for a while and said: "Qingyi can go to the army in the morning, go back to the house at noon to change clothes and go to the banquet, and the banquet is a little late two or three minutes. β
Shen Qingyi nodded and said to Bai Su: "Tomorrow morning, I will back up the generous gift and send it to Zhao Changshi's house, just say that I have something important to do the morning after tomorrow, and I may be a few moments late, please forgive Changshi Niang." β
Bai Su should be down.
The couple discussed the arrangement of going to the barracks for a while, and Shen Qingyi had already seen the copper kettle dripping twice.
Xiao Cong also glanced at the leaky pot, and said, "It's been a moment, and Ah Yan hasn't come back yet?" β
Shen Qingyi pursed his lower lip and glanced at Wo Lan.
Xiang Lan retreated and went out, and came back after a while and said, "Qinghui said that Seventeen Langjun has not come back yet." β
"Could it be that you meet a little lady in the house who is reluctant to come back?" Xiao Cong joked. The little lady in Wei Mansion has a good tutor, and he is not worried that any lady will create a chance encounter and hook up with his younger brother. What's more, seventeen is already fifteen, and in two years there will be women around you, so it's good to see more little ladies. Save yourself on the love word.
Shen Qingyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Maybe I forgot the time to practice boxing outside." Let Xiao Chengyi look nearby, don't stay out too late. β
Xiao Cong asked Xiang Lan to send a message to Xiao Chengyi.
Xiao Chengyi carried the lantern out and soon found Xiao Yan in the peach forest. She was boxing under the peach tree. Although there was no moon on the night of the fifth day of the new year, and the starlight in the sky was dim, the dark environment did not affect her fist path at all. She punched over and over again, her mind was calm and carefree, and when she entered the empty light, she naturally forgot the time.
Xiao Chengyi waited until her fist trip was over before stopping her.
"Seventeen Langjun, the young lady said, don't stay outside too late."
Xiao Yan was a little happy, "Did my sister-in-law say it?" β
"It was the young lady who ordered it."
Xiao Yan thought to herself, her sister still cared about her, but she wasn't as close to her as before.
She frowned, feeling sullen and uncomfortable again.
and Xiao Chengyi went back to the yard, and she went to her brother and sister-in-law's room first.
Xiao Cong teased her, "Brother has met a beauty?" β
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan hummed, nodded and said, "When I met Wei Wuniang, I said a few words." Since then, I have been practicing boxing and have forgotten the time. β
Xiao Cong laughed, "I really met a beauty." He smiled and asked, "What does Ah Yan think of Wei Wuniang?" β
Xiao Yan was a little angry with her at first, but after meeting her today, her perception changed, and she smiled and said, "It's quite interesting." - She said she wanted to see my face. I showed it to her. β
Xiao Cong, Shen Qingyi: "......"
She said look, you just showed it to her?! ββDo you have scabies on your face?!
Xiao Cong held his forehead, and Shen Qingyi's eyes were gloomy.
Xiao Yan hurriedly said: "Brother and sister, don't worry, Wei Wuniang won't say it." β
Shen Qingyi glanced at her, "You quite believe her." β
Her eyes were cold and dark.
Xiao Yan felt that she couldn't see through this look, and said, "It's just a kind of ...... Gut feeling. β
Shen Qingyi's cold voice said, "Your intuition is amazing. β
Xiao Yan didn't dare to speak, and looked at the fourth brother for help.
Xiao Cong clenched his fists to his lips and coughed, and said, "This Wei Wuniang looks quiet, and her actions are unexpected. Squeezed his eyes at her, and said narrowly, "Didn't you fall in love with our family Ayan?" - Otherwise, how would a good person want to look at your face? β
Xiao Yan said: "I think she may know that I wear a face to cover my face." "It's not to cover up ugliness.
She said Wei Zijing's last sentence that made her inexplicable: "She said that a look like mine will make many women sad." β
Xiao Cong laughed, thinking to himself, this Wei Wuniang knows how to advance and retreat.
Xiao Yan raised her chin, "Is she saying that I am too good-looking, which will make many women ashamed of themselves?" β
Xiao Cong burst out laughing.
Shen Qingyi's cold and faint voice, "Because of your appearance, many women will admire you but you can't get it, you can only be sad." - That Wei Wuniang doesn't let her own heart for you. β
Xiao Yan was stunned, she knew that she was very good-looking, and there would be many people who would fall in love with her because of her appearance, but because she was a woman, she never thought that a woman would fall in love with her - but others didn't know that she was a girl, so ...... That's what Wei Wuniang's words meant.
"However, I've met with Wei Wuniang a few times before, and I don't think she has that kind of meaning to me?"
Xiao Cong stopped laughing, "This thing is a little strange. β
Shen Qingyi said lightly: "It's not difficult to guess, it should be what General Wei and his wife said to her...... Shiro and Seventeen are good marriage choices." β
Xiao Yan was taken aback, "Marriage? She raised her voice abruptly, and her eyes also glared at Xiao Cong.
