Volume 1 In Search of the Millennium Chapter 44 Revisiting Shang Ying
Zhao Bixia knew that she couldn't hide from what should come, and remembered what Shang Ying told her before she left, that she should reconsider this family business. I don't know if Bai Xue has returned to Shang Ying's side.
Thinking of this, Zhao Bixia had an idea, it is better to take Qu Yuan to see Shang Ying, it is not impossible to foresee the situation that Qu Yuan will encounter, and maybe he will persuade Qu Yuan to do something. Let him change the law a little more smoothly in the future.
Zhao Bixia: "Lingjun, I know Shang Ying's whereabouts, otherwise let's talk to him about how to achieve the change of the Chu State, and help analyze a set of change strategies suitable for the Chu State, okay?"
When Qu Yuan heard that he was going to visit Shang Ying together, he couldn't have been happier.
Zhao Bixia: "But it's okay to wait a few days for your body to recover."
Knowing that Zhao Bixia arranged this out of concern, Qu Yuan readily agreed.
A few days later, Qu Yuan was in good health, because there were two heavy rains a few days ago, and the air was filled with the earthy smell after the rain.
Bixia took Qu Yuan on the road to Ezhou, because she wanted to take Qu Yuan to see Shang Ying as soon as possible, and also out of concern and curiosity about Shang Ying and Bai Xue's situation, she gave up taking the waterway in a hurry, and galloped on a horse to reach the small county town where Shang Ying lived in seclusion in less than a day.
Although it has just turned sunny, out of Wujun, where Xiangxi Zhaofu is located, the dog days of summer are hot.
Considering that Qu Yuan had just recovered from a serious illness, Zhao Bixia still persuaded Qu Yuan to rest for a while, eat something and drink some water, and take a nap after noon before he was on the road.
Qu Yuan was also thinking about Zhao Bixia, worried that the weather would be too hot and people would be dehydrated. In fact, you don't have to be in such a hurry to visit Shang Ying.
Bixia has been taking care of Bixia every step of the way when she is sick, looking hard, Qu Yuan doesn't want Zhao Bixia to be affected and persuaded many times to no avail, sure enough, the two stubborn people are together, to see who gives in, they can only tolerate.
I can only rest according to Bixia myself, and I don't touch the book much, and there are only a few volumes that Bixia took the initiative to bring, and I still read it to myself sentence by sentence, and I also helped myself to make annotations, and finally I was well and didn't need Bixia to take care of it day and night.
Soon Zhao Bixia and Qu Yuan arrived in Ezhou County, but in the end, they didn't want Zhao Bixia to be affected anymore, so they turned to the waterway and took a boat, so that Bixia could. Sleep for a few hours on the way to the boat.
Departing early the morning the day before and arriving at the destination the next afternoon, they had entered the Xia Wei area, and were closer to the Shang Ying's hermitage.
It is worthy of being Jiangcheng, the ancient Jiangcheng sits on Yunmengze, Xia Wei, Ezhu has long been famous, King Chu Xuan, King Chu Wei, the territory of the west from Daba Mountain, Wushan, Wuling Mountain, east to the sea, south from Nanling, (north to the middle of Henan, Anhui and northern Jiangsu, southeast Shaanxi, southeast of Shandong), the territory is vast, so Qu Yuan was born and the beginning of the career at this time Chu is entering the heyday.
Xia Wei and Ezhu became the second richest cities in Chu State, supporting the national strength of Chu State. In fact, Qu Yuan is used to seeing Yingdu, so it's not surprising that he came here.
Suddenly visited, but I don't know how Shang Ying is, whether he has found Bai Xue, and whether the two of them have lived a married life. Thinking about whether Huang Qing is also here, if Brother Huang can meet Qu Yuan, maybe he can recruit some helpers for Qu Yuan, and he will have more confidence and security in the face of political enemies.
From a distance, I saw a woman sitting under a tree in the small courtyard outside the door doing sewing work, and a person staggered out of the house, her body was slightly tired from running around all the year round.
The elder sat down next to the woman with a pamptail fan in his hand and carried a stool to shake the pampa fan to ward off the heat.
Zhao Bixia took Qu Yuan to speed up her pace, and shouted happily: "Senior Shangjun, I came to see you"
The two of them raised their heads when they heard the voice, and suddenly felt a sense of surprise and Zhao Bixia beckoned: "Come on, you really came to see me, great"
Then he introduced the woman next to Zhao Bixia: "This is the Bai Xue I mentioned to you, and thanks to you and Huang Gongzi, we can meet again in our lifetime"
Zhao Bixia said hello to Bai Xue beside her: "I have long heard your predecessors mention you, and I am fortunate to meet the real person today, and Aunt Bai Xue is also a blessed person."
Thinking that Shang Ying and his wife didn't know Qu Yuan, they introduced Qu Yuan to them. Qu Yuan and Shang Ying exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Bai Xue had already cleaned up the back room and brought herbal tea from the kitchen: "It's hot in summer, this is home-brewed herbal tea to escape the heat."
Zhao Bixia was not polite, brought a bowl to Qu Yuan and handed it to him, and then took two bowls and handed them to Bai Xue and Shang Yan respectively, and the last bowl was placed in front of her, tasting the herbal tea with great interest.
Thinking that Qu Yuan and Shang Ying had something to discuss alone, Bai Xue called Zhao Bixia away: "Miss Bixia, I have something to talk to you alone"
Zhao Bixia knew the purpose of Bai Xue's arrangement, and entered the house with Bai Xue, just after a while, I was ready to cook, let's talk while cooking.
Zhao Bixia: "Okay, everything is arranged by my aunt"
Bixia and Zhaoyue were preparing to eat, Bai Xue asked about Zhao Bixia's age, and Zhao Bixia remembered that the maidservant told her that she had just finished the ceremony before she disappeared, and said that she was fifteen.
Bai Xue: "I think Qu Gongzi, who just came with you, is your intended person."
was guessed to be the center, Zhao Bixia lowered her head and whispered.
Zhao Bixia: "Auntie, I really envy you and my predecessors, I rescued him from Qin with Huang Gongzi that night, and on the way to take him here, he has been thinking about you, and he only wants to see you again, and now he will no longer be bothered by those things in Qin State, and spend his old age with you in peace."
Zhao Bixia's envy was beyond words, and she seemed to be looking forward to this, if Qu Yuan could let go of my Chu country, would she be able to find a confidant to spend her life in peace.
Zhao Bixia continued: "In the troubled times, meritorious people like Xiang Seniors are often envied and persecuted, and now it is really a good result."
Bai Xue: "Yes, I'm glad that you and Huang Gongzi rescued me, and thank you for bringing me his news, so I can come to him"
Zhao Bixia: "My aunt is polite, it's all because of the high righteousness of my predecessors, and we all respect my predecessors and can't bear to suffer him"
Bai Xue changed the topic: "Alas, don't mention these unhappy ones, then again, how does that Qu Gongzi treat you?"
Zhao Bixia: "Qu Yuan treats me very well, I don't know how to repay him, we have a marriage contract, and he is willing to follow the marriage contract"
Bai Xue: "Isn't it good, I can see that Qu Yuan likes you, isn't it just right that you get married?"
Zhao Bixia: "It's not good, I really want to be by his side for a long time, I've liked him since I was a child, and now he also likes me, I'm really happy, but I and he are people of two worlds, I can't marry him"
Bai Xue thought that Zhao Bixia was afraid of marriage and explained: "Bixia don't worry, you are married and live together, don't be afraid of rejecting him if there is an accident after marriage."
Zhao Bixia: "No, auntie, I'm not afraid of this ......"
