Chapter 485: The Wedding Day of the Ten Khans
On the day Li Siye left Gaoling County, the old and young people in the Li clan saw him off with turbid wine, and sent him out more than five miles, and really sent him on the road when he was leaving.
He pulled the black fat reins at the post road and turned his horse back, and a few small dots of black pressure beckoned, he rode his horse and waved his hand, and went up the road along the post road.
Dao Rou rode closely behind him, this woman was a good horseman, and obviously had a considerable amount of riding experience. He turned around and suddenly asked her, "Daorou, your grandfather's surname is Li, and he is also a branch of the Li family in my Gaoling County." In the past two days, I specially sent someone to the county party to check, and guess what? ”
Daorou's face suddenly turned white, and she lowered her head and bit her lip and said in a gnat-like voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"There is really a person named Li Zhao who had a dispute with someone in the county gambling stall, accidentally killed the person, and was sentenced to exile in Liuzhou."
Her breath slowly exhaled out, her pale face gradually regained its blood, and she whispered: "The past events are all painful experiences for the slave maid, and the slave and maid don't want to say anything more. ”
"Oh," Li Siye nodded abruptly, and suddenly spoke: "But according to the official of Gaoling County, Li Zhao has no daughter in his family, only a son as old as you. ”
Daorou pursed her lips, lowered her head and stiffened on the horse, just when Li Siye thought that she would bow down and admit that her household registration was forged, she raised her round chin and said with a stiff expression: "Because I have always been raised as a man since I was a child, and even the neighbors didn't find out, so until he died, all the people around us thought I was a man." ”
"Heh," Li Siye nodded, this answer was perfect, there were almost no logical loopholes. There seems to be such a custom in Guanzhong, when there are no children in the family, one of the daughters is dressed as a man.
What Li Siye praised was her excellent psychological quality, in the face of the danger of being exposed, she did not panic, nor did she give up directly, but lowered her head and thought, and then made up another set of convincing lies, such a maid is indeed useful.
Li Daorou lowered his head and pondered silently, Li Siye's horse had been thrown far away, and after looking up and realizing it, he hurriedly shook the reins of the horse and chased after it.
……
When they returned to Qiuzi, they were just in time for the wedding of the Khan of Uryu, a young man whom he had once witnessed and who had finally begun to form a family of his own. However, this marriage is completely a product of politics, and it is the foundation of Silu's survival in Turgish, and of course there must be shortcomings.
Ashina's foundation has long been severed, and all he is doing now is forcibly continuing his life. Nothing can escape the baptism of time, nearly 50 years have passed since the decline of the ten Turkic surnames, even the Turkish who inherited its land have begun to decay, and even the glorious post-Turkic Turks in the western steppe for half a century have been about to enter extinction under the attack of the Hui, life is impermanent, the world is impermanent, and history is unpredictable.
Silu was forcibly saddled with the mission of the ancient family, and this mission has gradually become worthless, and the marriage of Fu Meng Lingcha for him is just to use him as a seesaw to balance the power of the black and yellow.
He himself is quite resistant to this marriage, marrying two women he doesn't know at the same time, which may seem like a kind of happiness to others, but Silu is willing to know it.
Li Siye and his entourage led the horse and stood by the street to watch, Si Lu was wearing a red robe, but he still had a Turkic braid on his head, looking indecent. He rode down the street on a horse with a red flower, followed by a group of begging children for money, followed by a handmaid in a circle of two Kedun's bridal carriages.
The groom's face was expressionless, and he let the guard leading the horse in front of him pull the reins of the horse, and Li Siye, who saw this scene, smacked his lips, but he didn't know what to say. The maidservant Daorou suddenly spoke behind her: "The groom seems to be unhappy, he doesn't like this marriage." ”
She saw Kedun in the carriage with his headdress, shook his head, and said, "The bride doesn't seem to like it either." ”
Li Siye turned his head and glanced at her as if he was accusing, Dao Rou felt as if he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly lowered his head and turned his gaze away.
He originally wanted to ask for a few glasses of wine, but he suddenly lost interest, and just followed the welcoming procession into the temporary residence of the ten surnamed Khans, and stood in the crowd outside the courtyard gate to take a look.
Fumeng Lingcha sat in front of the hall, he not only acted as a matchmaker, but also regarded himself as an elder of the law, sitting in the high hall and waiting for the three newcomers to come up and toast.
This wedding is held in strict accordance with the customs of the Central Plains, and there is also a little bit of turkish customs in the middle, if it is strictly in accordance with the customs of turkish, the marriage will be carried out in the form of a walking marriage. The two brides also wore shawls on their heads, but they did not have much respect for the Han hijab, and from time to time they lifted their red hijabs and looked at the people around them coldly.
After bowing to the elders, he turned to greet the many guests. He had just lowered his head and bent down, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw Li Siye standing at the gate in the distance, his bowing movements became stagnant and sluggish, and his eyes looked at Li Siye as if he was seeking an answer, as for what the answer was, even he didn't know.
Li Siye just raised his hand and smiled at him as if greeting, then nodded slightly, and then he beckoned the entourage around him to turn around and leave. By the time Silu looked up again, the door of the Ten Khan's mansion had turned into several strange figures.
Si Lu, who is about to be sent to the cave room to get married, imagines this, maybe Li Siye has disagreeing with his marriage, and he may be able to understand his mind and know what he wants. He may also think that he and his sister Mei'er are a real couple. That's probably what he thinks, but he can't make decisions for himself.
The imaginary Silu entered the cave room, and he stood on the ground with a lost ground, looking at two women holding fans. They seemed cramped more cramped than he was. The two mothers-in-law, who were in charge of the ceremony in the cave room, crossed their waists solemnly and asked the groom to make two poems but fanned them out.
Si Lu noticed some strange anomalies, and he shouted coldly to the two mothers-in-law, "Get out!" ”
The mother-in-law was unmoved, thinking that the bridegroom had just drunk too much wine and was playing drunk with them.
"Get out!"
The two mothers-in-law glanced at each other in a panic, and muttered: "Barbarians are barbarians, let them marry with the etiquette of the Central Plains, it is like a monkey wearing a hat!" ”
They fled in a hurry from the cave.
The two women still held the fan in front of them, and Silu stepped forward to snatch the palace fan from their hands, looking down at the two sallow Tuqi Shi women.
"You're not the daughter of Dumozhi, and you're not the princess of Charizard Khan."
The identities of the two women were revealed, and although they pretended to be calm, they could not hide the panicked expressions on their faces.
"You are bold! Why do you say we're not ......?"
Silu said coldly: "The envoy of Anxi Jiedu is outside, the deputy capital of Anxi, the envoy of the four towns is also outside, and there are many Anxi soldiers, I can call them in now, uncover the faces of the two of you, and let you know the fate of deceiving the Tang army." ”
The two Turgish women hurriedly knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, and kept confessing: "Khan, forgive us, the real Princess Kedun is actually in the palace. They just don't want to have sex with you, and they don't want to give birth to Ashina's offspring. ”
Instead, Lulu's expression calmed down, and he whispered, "Is this just what they mean, or is it what their father and the khan mean?" ”
The two women only knew how to kowtow and beg for mercy but did not speak, and they may not know about it, or they may know but are afraid to reveal it.
Si Lu said to himself, "I didn't want to think about it that complicated, but maybe it's that complicated. Their father was unwilling to marry me, but he did not dare to break his promise to Tang Jun, so he thought of a compromise and replaced them with other women, and they enjoyed the identity of the ten surnamed Khan Kedun in peace, as long as there was no heir to me, the so-called marriage and family relationship would not exist. When it comes time to turn the other cheek in the future, they can kill me without any scruples. ”
The two women trembled and fell to the ground, and one of them raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "I, I'll go, I'll go and invite the two of them over." ”
"No need."
Si Lu sat cross-legged in front of the desk, picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine into his mouth, the taste was bitter. He took off his nondescript red silk and spoke slowly, "They don't think I'm qualified to marry the Turgish Khan, and I don't think they're worthy to have me, or to have my children." That's fine, I kept myself, and they kept their blood. ”
