Chapter Seventy-Eight: Garrison Xizhou

Siniang's marriage is approaching, and Qingrong has simply stayed at her mother's house to help in the past few days.

It's May in a blink of an eye, the weather is getting hot, the Lu family is busy, Qingrong instructed his subordinates to polish the tables and tables at home, and after a while, he went to check whether the items were ready... It seems that Siniang is the only one who has nothing to do, waiting for the evening to come.

As soon as Qingrong went to Siniang's house, she saw Siniang smirking at the bronze mirror, she shook her head and walked over, "What are you smiling at?" After bathing, you still don't ask someone to help you freshen up? ”

Siniang turned her head, looked at her and smiled, "Sister, why do I feel that all this is like a dream?" Am I really going to marry Linrang? ”

Qingrong laughed at her idiot, "Then I'll pinch you and see if it hurts?" She picked up the comb on the table and combed Siniang's hair herself, "I think you're so happy, you shouldn't have slept last night." ”

Siniang looked at the mirror and smiled, "I'm happy, now that I can marry him as I wish, why aren't I happy?" ”

Qingrong looked at her and smiled sincerely, "You can get your wish, Sister is also happy for you, I just hope that you can raise your eyebrows with your husband in the future, Qin Se and Ming, and grow old." ”

Siniang nodded and smiled.

Qingrong couldn't help but sigh, "This day is really fast, in a blink of an eye, you are also married to a wife, Sister is really emotional, there is nothing else to tell you, just remember to take care of yourself, don't let yourself be wronged, Sister and grandmother will always be your dependence." ”

Siniang was moved when she heard this, her eyes were a little sour, and she turned around and took Qingrong's hand, "Sister is the same, no matter what, my grandmother and I will always be Sister A's support." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's comb our hair and dress up quickly, your husband is attentive, and the jewelry he sent is valuable, and there are quite a few, and it is estimated that it will take some time to wear it all."

Siniang said: "That must be very heavy, right?" ”

Qingrong smiled: "That's right, you are also a duchess now, even if I see you in the future, I will also salute you in front of people, even if the pomp is bigger, it's nothing." What's more, this is nothing, yesterday I went with my sister-in-law and Pei Niangzi to shop a new house for you, this house is also repaired and renovated, the objects and utensils in the upper room, not to mention the value, are also rare good products, this slave is also bought from the new, just wait for you to pass, the three of us praise you for your good fortune. ”

Siniang became more and more embarrassed when she heard this, but her heart was sweet, "It's hard for him to have a heart." ”

"Yes, seeing that he treats you seriously, my heart is steady. In the future, when you are busy and don't have much to spare, there are not many opportunities for both of us to be at home, but remember to go home more often. ”

Siniang nodded and responded: "Sister don't worry." ”

……

After the marriage was completed, early the next morning, Qingrong returned to Xue's house, and Qingrong asked Yun Niang: "Nothing happened these days, right?" ”

Yun Niang said: "It's nothing else, it's just that Mrs. Cui sent someone to ask the lady if she could, and then Xue Liulang sent someone to send something over, saying that she didn't intend to offend the lady that day and deliberately made amends." ”

Ah Zhen has always been straightforward, "I don't see others coming to make amends, he obviously has an opinion about our lady." ”

Qingrong also knew that Xue Yan was dissatisfied with himself, thinking that it was because he had misunderstood him when he met Gu Songzhi, so he didn't think much about it. She shook her head and said: "You should fix your quick mouth, after all, it's not a big deal, but you don't need to move the people, just let everyone pass." He asked Yun Niang again, "What did you send?" ”

Yun Niang turned around and went to the house to take out the things, Qingrong took a look, a wooden box contained a Persian winged lion gold bracelet, the texture is average, but the strange appearance is unique, Yun Niang took it out, "It is said that Xue Liulang brought it from the Western Regions before, I heard that it is very fashionable." ”

Qingrong was a little surprised when he heard this, "Oh? I didn't expect him to understand this? It's kind of a novelty. Qingrong stretched out his hand to take it and took a closer look, "It looks weird, but it's not like a woman like the third uncle and aunt would like it." ”

Yun Niang smiled: "Yes, when Xue Liulang's guards came to deliver this thing, I asked a few more questions, and he said that these Persian jewelry are very popular with those young ladies in Xizhou." ”

Young girls? Qingrong had to guess a little more when he heard this, but just these few words couldn't prove anything.

Thinking of what Chang Ning said, she couldn't help but wonder, if Xue Yan found out that Li Yuanmin was still alive, would he really hide her secretly? Didn't he refuse to agree to marry her before? If you do... Is it because of guilt? Or do you have other plans?

If it has nothing to do with Xue Yan, then where is this Li Yuanmin now? After thinking about it, if you really don't want to make a noise and find Li Yuanmin secretly, unless you send someone you can trust, it is most appropriate for her to go in person... If it goes on like this, even if she doesn't say it, Chang Ning will definitely be in a hurry.

"Keep watching, there's no other way around it right now."

……

Soon it was the day when Siniang returned to Ningning, and Qingrong also took the time to go back.

In the upper room of the Lu family, a couple of newcomers sat side by side, looking really talented and beautiful, and they were very worthy. Today, Siniang is wearing a light purple skirt and a gold curtain, which is really charming and gentle, noble and extraordinary, and there is a little more rare shyness and smile on her face.

Cui Chenyu smiled and said: "I haven't said hello to Sister A, yesterday the saint who entered the palace received good news, Shiro selected three thousand iron cavalry to attack the base camp of Tubo at night the night before, and the Eastern Turkic leader Ashina saw that the situation was not good, and he retreated without help, and Tubo was defeated and lost." Under these circumstances, the surrender of the Turks is just around the corner. ”

Siniang also said: "Brother-in-law is really brave and able to fight, it will only take two months to go to Xizhou, and he will be able to defeat the enemy army, Sister He should rest assured." ”

When Lu Wenzhong and Wang heard this, they both nodded and applauded.

Qingrong was naturally happy when she heard this, but she only smiled faintly, looked at Cui Chenyu and said, "I hope there won't be anything else wrong." ”

Cui Chenyu said with a smile: "The situation in the Western Regions is unstable, the sage may have the intention to choose to garrison Xizhou, Shiro has made this great contribution, the sage may intend to promote him, let him guard Xizhou." ”

"Isn't that a three-year-and-five-year, and my brother-in-law can't come back?" Siniang said and glanced at Qingrong, she couldn't tell whether this kind of thing was good or bad. Although promotion is a good thing, wouldn't my sister have to wait alone in the capital for many years?

Cui Chenyu groaned slightly, "Yes." ”

Everyone cast their eyes on Qingrong, but Qingrong smiled indifferently, "This is a good thing, since the saint has the heart to promote, then I am naturally happy for him." ”

Siniang's heart was a little stunned for a while, and she couldn't help but think of the rare get-together that Qingrong said on the day she got married, and now it seems really sad. Cui Chenyu seemed to notice her low mood and reached out to hold her hand comfortingly. Siniang's heart also ironed a little because of his warm gesture.

Wang thought about Qingrong's heart, and hurriedly diverted the conversation and said, "Quickly try today's fish sauce, it was specially told by your grandfather to make it." ”

……

After finishing the meal, Qingrong and Siniang walked hand in hand in the courtyard.

Qingrong asked, "I just got married, but have you seen the elders of the Cui family?" ”

Siniang complained: "I've seen it, and the famous aunt Li has also seen it, although she treats people with a smile on her face, but I always feel that she is not well-intentioned." Sister, you don't know, I have only been married for a few days, and she asked Sister-in-law Pei to send two beautiful maids to my house, saying that she wanted them to serve me and Linrang well, what kind of heart do you say she has? It's not like I can't even find a maid in this house, right? ”

Qingrong was a little surprised, "Ling Niang? Was it the one she picked? ”

"It's not, Sister-in-law Pei said this, she also served the order of her mother-in-law, originally she also persuaded a few words, just got married and sent a maid, I'm afraid it's not good, but I was taught a lesson by Li's backmouth, because of the identity of the elders, Sister-in-law Pei had to take this errand and explain it to me, I'm afraid I will misunderstand. She told me that she would find an excuse to send people back in the future, and that she would have her own way to deal with it. ”

Qingrong nodded when she heard this, maybe Pei Lingniang was waiting for the Li family in some way, Qingrong saw that Pei Lingniang and Siniang got along well, but she also felt relieved, with a capable sister-in-law like Pei Lingniang, Siniang can also learn more in the future. "So, what about the Janley? What is his attitude towards these two beautiful maids? After all, this kind of thing is up to what others say, and the most important thing is to see what the man does.

Speaking of this, Siniang was still a little pleased, "He didn't do anything, he just said that I would arrange it." ”

Qingrong smiled, "That's good, he can be kind to you." ”

"Sister, if your brother-in-law is really going to be stationed in Xizhou, why don't you move back in? It's boring for you to live there alone, guarding an empty house. ”

Qingrong shook his head and smiled, "Let's talk about it." ”

In the blink of an eye, at the end of May, the Turks had surrendered, and the war in Xizhou had finally been calmed down.

Li Jin rewarded Xue Shao and promoted him to the general of the right guard, but it was also decent, neither deliberately snubbed, nor rewarded with exceptions, and this time it was really as Cui Chenyu said, the sage really ordered Xue Shao to garrison the army in Xizhou on the spot.

At this time, Qingrong ordered the people who were staring at Xue Yan to come to report, and news came from Xizhou. Qingrong is suspicious, it turns out that there will be news at the end of each month?

Qingrong got the news and went to the Guogong Mansion and told Chang Ning the truth.

But after so long, he still has no clue, Chang Ning is also a little unable to sit still, this Xizhou is mixed, those Turkic Tubo people, the customs are barbaric, and they are not educated, if Yuan Min falls into the hands of foreign people, I don't know how many sins he will suffer.

Chang Ning suddenly asked, "I heard that the sage asked Xue Shao to garrison Xizhou?" Then he will have to be in Xizhou for a long time. ”

"Yes."

"He has already received this opportunity to make meritorious contributions and won a reward, so you should count the things you promised me." Chang Ning's voice trembled, with a little despair, "You can follow the army, so that you don't have to be separated by thousands of miles between husband and wife, I can ask for more grace for you... If I beg you, go to her personally, and help her if she falls into a dangerous situation... Help her escape, and don't let her go down the path where life is worse than death. ”

Qingrong was stunned when she heard this, she pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Naturally count." ”

Chang Ning was shocked when he heard this, "Okay, then when do you plan to leave for Xizhou?" ”
