Chapter 169: Gu Yueke's makeup gift
The affairs of the Lin family and the Li family were lifted high and gently put down, although there were no earth-shattering changes, but the atmosphere in Kyoto was much better than before.
In such a gradually relaxed atmosphere, Gu Yueke also ushered in her wedding.
As Gu Yueke's friend, when Gu Yueke added makeup a few days before her marriage, Liang Qian naturally had to be present in person.
"Why are you here so late?" As soon as Liang Qian got out of the carriage at the door, Gu Yueke and Princess An Ning greeted her in a hurry: "An Ning has been elusive these days, and she came earlier than you." Gu Yueke pretended to complain.
Liang Qian smiled at the two of them a little apologetically, but he was embarrassed to answer why he came so late today.
Seeing that his good sister was about to get married, Liang Qian naturally wanted to find a little to come over. It's a pity that Li Yu didn't know how to catch the wind chill last night, Liang Qian didn't know about it until this morning, and he was a little worried for a while, so he went out late.
Fortunately, Gu Yueke and Princess An Ning complained casually, but they didn't mean to be really angry, the three of them stood at the door and talked for a while, thinking that there were other guests in the courtyard, so they walked into the courtyard together.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Liang Qian felt that his two good friends had undergone some changes.
Gu Yueke doesn't seem to have a big opinion on her marriage, and she is about to get married, and there are still a lot of smiles on her face.
Princess An Ning's changes are a little different.
Liang Qian felt that Princess An Ning's words today were a little less, and she didn't have the lively and clever energy she had before, so she didn't know if there was something annoying.
Under Gu Yueke's arrangement, he found a place to sit down, Gu Yueke is the master of today, and naturally there is no way to accompany the two of them all the time. After Liang Qian and Princess An Ning sat down, Gu Yueke went to the courtyard to entertain the other guests, leaving Liang Qian and Princess An Ning to sit together.
Seeing that Princess An Ning kept her head down and didn't speak, Liang Qian took the initiative to find a topic and said: "Yueke's makeup today is extremely lively, you finally came out today, and you haven't spoken, it looks like you have something to worry about, what is the matter?" ”
Princess An Ning glanced at Liang Qian, and reluctantly showed a smile: "Is it so obvious??" I didn't think I could see it! ”
Liang Qian shook his head: "The relationship between the few of us is so good, how can we not see it?" I can see that I am so slow to react, and Yue Ke must have seen it too! She must have thought that since you didn't take the initiative to speak, she was embarrassed to take the initiative to ask! ”
Princess An Ning smiled embarrassedly: "I actually didn't want to hide it from you!" I just thought that today was a good day for her to add makeup, and I was embarrassed to say that I was afraid that it would ruin the atmosphere! ”
Liang Qian smiled to show that he understood, and said, "Now there are only two of us in this room, can you say it?" If there is anything to worry about, it will feel a lot better in my heart when I say it! ”
Princess An Ning nodded, and finally said what she was worried about: "I'm afraid there is something bad on the border!" ”
Liang Qian's hand holding the teacup paused, and he didn't react for a while. Last year, I heard that there were some problems at the border, but I didn't expect these things to drag on until now?
Princess Anning's mother is Chen Guifei, and the Chen family, who guards the border all the year round, is Chen Guifei's mother's family. For this reason, Princess An Ning knows a lot more about border matters than other families.
Last year, the Great Sui encountered cold weather that was rare for many years, and there were many ordinary people here in Kyoto, and because of this, the wind chill was even more severe on the border side.
A large number of ordinary people fell down because of the severe cold weather and the wind chill, and the soldiers stationed at the border gates were also implicated a lot.
Liang Qian's prescription came out quickly, but it greatly curbed the continued development of these things, but Da Sui was still traumatized to a certain extent.
There are three neighboring countries of the Great Sui, among which the traveling country in the north is the most ferocious and rugged. All the people in the country are soldiers, and the overall national force value is much higher than the one who is bigger.
The place where the Chen family is mainly responsible for guarding is the northern border.
You Guo is further north than Dasui, and when the weather cools down in a large area, You Guo is actually traumatized to a great extent. But the wandering people were fierce, and after the country was traumatized, they survived.
In the beginning, it was the residents of the border of Youguo who used their own force to plunder the scattered villages on the border of the Great Sui in order to grab food and resources.
After the Great Sui sent troops to suppress it, this situation was curbed to a certain extent, but there was still no way to cure it.
After that, the friction on the border between the two countries became more and more intense, because the friction over resources also intensified, which directly developed into a struggle between the border armies of the two countries.
As a result of such a battle, the armies of both countries were damaged to varying degrees. But all the people on the other side of the country are soldiers, and it is easy to replenish them after the lack of troops.
The Great Sui side was affected by the wind and cold, and the army that was already lacking a lot became more and more difficult to recruit, but for a while, the Great Sui fell below.
"Yesterday I received a letter from my mother's side." Princess An Ning's eyes were red when she said this, and she was very emotional: "My cousin was ambushed when he went to the battlefield, and now I heard that life and death are uncertain!" It took half a month for the letter from the northern border to Kyoto, but now my cousin's condition is ......."
Princess An Ning was completely uncontrollable when she said this, and couldn't help choking up and shedding tears: "My cousin and I grew up together...... He was really nice to me...... My sister-in-law has been in tears since she received this letter yesterday...... I really don't know what to do......"
Liang lowered his eyes, hugged Princess An Ning into his arms, and gently patted her back to show comfort.
Qingzhou, where she grew up, is in the southern part of the Great Sui and is a place where there has never been a war. It was the first time Liang Qian had heard about the war, and she didn't know how to comfort Princess An Ning for a while, silently hugging each other and transmitting some energy to the other party.
Princess An Ning didn't cry for long, and after a while, she wiped away her tears and sat up straight again: "Today is Yueke's makeup gift, as her good friend, I must be happy!" It's okay, I'm sure something will happen to my cousin! It's worried about you, I'm sad for a while, it's a lot better......"
Although Princess An Ning has always pretended to be very natural, Liang Qian can still see the other party's fragility in the other party's words.
There was a vague uneasiness in his heart, and Liang Qian didn't know what the reason was, so he could only silently grasp Princess An Ning's hand.
