Chapter 026 of "Painting the Wife".
Hearsay is a bold plan
All parties in the world are reunited
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
The starry night and the old horse were tired, so the two had to run wildly all the way until dawn, and finally arrived in Xiangyang City, and when they arrived at the Great Song Dynasty, they dared to take a break.
He Lai Xu was unfamiliar with the road, or maybe he was in a bad mood, so he silently looked at Murong Yan who was walking in front, and saw that she was fluttering in her clothes and flying cloak, a handsome little lady.
Now she is good at everything, the only drawback is that she likes to take off her clothes too much.
- Don't think I don't know, you stripped naked to find out the news. I don't say it, but I know. If it goes like this, maybe I'll have a green piece on my head sometime.
He suddenly felt that he should avoid long nights and dreams, and he must marry her as soon as possible, and only when a girl gets married and becomes someone else's wife, her life will have a direction, and her heart will be settled.
He decided to find an opportunity to confess to her, at least to probe first.
In Xiangyang City, the two bought a horse, found an inn to rest, and overheard a lot of discussion in the restaurant. He didn't speak, he lowered his head to eat, but his ears were pricked up.
"I heard that there was a bloody incident in Wangjia Village the night before, and dozens of people died, all of them looked like Mongolian Tartars......"
"Alas, depending on the situation, Xiangyang is afraid that he will not be able to keep it, and it seems that he is going to flee again!"
"No, no, they beat their own people, don't you think it's strange?"
"How do you know?"
"I hid my old father in the cellar, and he saw a fat bald man with a string of large Buddhist beads hanging from his chest, arguing with a man about gold and silver treasures. The bald man was very annoyed, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to watch as the people pulled the carriage away, and before leaving, he took the Biyue Emperor with him. ”
The third person turned out to be stubborn and said: "I know the follow-up things, I have a friend in the rivers and lakes, I happened to meet on the way, I heard him say, that bald man is Wan Yanda, I don't know why I came to the Central Plains, robbed me of the gold and silver of the Great Song Dynasty." How do you know that the minister of the Qin Dispatch has already written to Wan Yan Zonghan, and Wan Yan Zonghan sent Wan Yan Zongbi to greet him. Originally, I wanted to take Emperor Maude to the north together, but people didn't seem to take a fancy to her, and abandoned her in the wilderness halfway through, at this moment, I am afraid that she has already been eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards!"
"Probably tired of playing, right?"
"Can you give it to me when you're tired of playing?" I'm so old, I haven't married a daughter-in-law......
"I'll play first, and then I'll give you ......"
"Hahaha......"
Saying that there is a nose and eyes doesn't sound like a fake. If that's the case, then who is the person who sent the message to the Jin Kingdom? Regardless of the purpose of this person, at least for now, it seems that this person is against Wan Yanda.
He Lai was thinking about another thing, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and he grinned: "I have an idea, although I take a little risk, I can marry you in a beautiful way." It depends on whether my sister is willing to marry me. ”
"The background of the slave family is unknown, and marrying the slave family is afraid that it will bring you trouble......"
Is this a promise or not? He was a little confused, patted his chest and said, "It's difficult to carry it together." ”
"Aren't you afraid of gossip?"
He Lai held her jade hand and kissed it, and said: "I have a heart, you have affection, why be afraid of gossip! If you agree, go back to Yingtianfu to propose marriage." ”
Such straightforward words made Murong Yanqiao's face blush, and she whispered, "What if Xianggong Lu doesn't agree?"
He smiled and said, "He dares to resist the order?"
Murong Yan was puzzled, although he was a scholar to put it bluntly, he didn't understand the way of officialdom, let alone the sinister rivers and lakes, what ability did he have to ask the emperor for a holy decree?
Seeing that he swore an oath, Murong Yan was skeptical, but He Lai was like eating a scale, and she had no choice but to accommodate. He came to the table to slap it, and the matter of Jiangling was put on hold for the time being, and the marriage was done first.
After resting, continue on your way. When they arrived at the realm of the Great Song Dynasty, the two were not as anxious as before, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, enjoying the scenery and laughing along the way, or hugging and kissing, but it didn't stop there. He couldn't help but untie Murong Yan's clothes and go to Wushan together, but every time she categorically refused, in her words, hugging and kissing was already a big rebellion, how dare she take another step beyond Lei Chi.
When she arrived at Yingtianfu, Murong Yan changed into Lu Xinyao according to her plan, and followed He to meet the emperor. Seeing him come back safely, Zhao Gou was very surprised, and was very surprised that Lu Xinyao was able to retreat with her whole body, and saw her sad face, and hurriedly asked the reason.
So, He Lai mixed what he had heard and experienced, and said: "After traveling for a few days, there was no drop of water, and the people were sleepy and tired, so they set up camp and rested all night and hurried tomorrow morning. I never thought that I would meet Wan Yan Da who came to greet him in the middle of the night, and I was suspicious in my heart, so I wrote a letter to King Jin to verify the matter, and at the same time pretended to flatter Wan Yan Da. How do you know that this Wanyan Da didn't take my emperor in his eyes at all, not only did he speak ill of each other and put him in prison, but he himself forcibly married Emperor Biyue. The humble took advantage of Wanyan Da's wedding night when his precautions were lax, and he happened to meet Wanyan Zongbi. Wanyan Zongbi told him that Wanyan Da had broken with the Jin State and was ambitious to dominate the martial arts in the Central Plains, and even proudly said that when the East Mountain made a comeback, it would be the day when the world was divided into three. He thought that Emperor Biyue was still in his hands, so he tried to rescue him and handed it over to Wanyan Zongbi along with a number of gold and silver treasures. I was afraid that Wanyan Zongbi would suffer a loss of gold and silver from Caokou on the way and condemn my Great Song Dynasty, so I secretly protected him all the way, but I saw him abandon Emperor Biyue in the wilderness, so he brought him back to his life. ”
If you lose your virginity, how can you have the face to see me? Zhao Gou didn't say anything, his face was comforted, and his heart was already full of contempt, and he waved his hand to let Lu Xinyao retreat. Then he took He Lai's hand and said as he walked: "Aiqing has a long way to go, and he is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and it is very hard. ”
You know, when he was still a prince, he had such a similar experience, and at that time, it was really a life of nine deaths. Therefore, he admired and appreciated He Lai for having such courage.
"Your Majesty, there is another matter that needs to be reported. Seeing Long Yan Dayue, why did he take the opportunity to throw out the topic.
"Speak!"
"This matter requires the presence of Lu Xianggong. ”
"Why?"
It was because of him. ”
"Let's hear it first. ”
"Three years ago, on the day of Lu Xianggong's birthday, there was an uplink, and in front of everyone, he threatened to marry the little girl Lu Xinyao to him. Now three years have passed, Miss Lu is not married, and she has to be linked. As the old saying goes, a gentleman says, a horse is difficult to chase, I want to ask Lu Xianggong if what he said that day is still counted?"
"You will tell me what is going on. ”
He Lai did not answer directly, but told a story. In the early years of the Song Dynasty, there was a woman in the south of the Yangtze River, who was talented and charming, and then escaped into the empty door because of personnel grievances, regardless of love. The woman wrote a couplet on the wall outside the temple gate - "Lonely and cold windows are empty and widowed", and frankly said that those who can cope with it will make physical and mental promises and return to the red dust. For a while, there was an endless stream of literati and scholars who went to deal with it, but in the end, they all returned in a huff. Seeing that there was no confidant in the road ahead, the little woman was disheartened and died lonely. Until now, this "lonely cold window empty widow" has no one to make the next couplet, and it has become absolute.
"What a bleak story!" Zhao Gou was suddenly silent, as if he was meditating, how could he stand aside respectfully, and after a long time, he heard Zhao Gou sigh: "Aiqing has a lower link?"
"In order to marry Lu Xinyao, Weichen hung the beam and studied poetry and books hard, and traveled all over the world to visit famous teachers, but found nothing. In despair, I suddenly got a revelation from the rotten wood that had been sleeping with me for three years. ”
"Oh, what's this?"
"Lu Xianggong's upper link is: lonely and cold window empty widow, and the lower link of Weichen is: Wutong rotten pillow in vain. ”
Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, raised his hand, and shouted: "Xuan!"
Lu Yihao didn't know the reason, thinking that something big had happened, and when he hurried over, his forehead was sweating and his clothes were soaked.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite. Let me ask you, three years ago, you made a link at the birthday banquet, and announced to the world that whoever can make a link will marry Lu Xinyao to him. Is that the case?"
Lu Yihao thought about it and replied "yes".
"Can anyone make a couplet now?"
Lu Yihao replied: "There are so few, but they are not neat, and they are all dissatisfied." ”
"This next link is: Wutong is rotten and in vain, what does Aiqing think?"
Lu Yihao was obviously shocked, lowered his head and meditated for a long time, and suddenly stroked his palms and laughed: "Wonderful!
"In that case, Aiqing is going to fulfill her promise?"
Lu Yihao was taken aback, and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, the little girl is fortunate to be able to serve the emperor......"
"In that case, then I will make a holy decree?" Zhao Gou didn't say anything, and laughed.
Lu Yihao's heart blossomed, he really didn't expect Lu Xinyao to be favored by the emperor, with this relationship, he can do everything to call the wind and rain, who would dare to touch him? Thinking of this, he immediately knelt down and thanked him.
Originally, how did he successfully complete the task, Zhao Gou was full of joy, thinking about how to reward him, although Lu Xinyao was as beautiful as a flower, he had lost his virginity. It's rare that He Aiqing is still thinking about it, and she has made the next link, so it is better to complete this marriage.
"In that case, then I will be a matchmaker!" Zhao Gou laughed, took the red folded paperwork, dipped the pen in ink, waved it, and finally covered it with a jade seal.
Lu Yihao opened it and took a look, and the bright red and dazzling "marriage book" typing immediately came into view:
The marriage of the two surnames, a contract, a good relationship forever, match the same name, look at the peach blossoms on this day, IKEA, Bu Ta Nian melon is continuous, Erchang Erblazing, I would like to make a white-headed appointment, the book to the Hongjian, so that the alliance of red leaves, contains the mandarin spectrum. This certificate.
On the far left side of the wedding book, the names of the groom He Lai and the bride Lu Xinyao are written, and there is a jade seal and the emperor's good wishes: a hundred years of good togetherness.
Only then did Lu Yihao understand why he came to the next link, and secretly regretted it, but the holy decree had been issued, and the wood had been completed, and it could not be changed.
Immediately, Zhao Goxuan Zhang Qin entered the palace to face the saint, since the emperor is a matchmaker, the pomp and circumstance naturally cannot be shabby, and this wedding dress naturally has to be taken care of by Zhang Qin, who has the reputation of "the world's first tailor".
Zhang Qin was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, it seemed that she had lived a good life in the past few years, and after asking the emperor for peace, when she turned around, she saw where she came from, and she was immediately stunned in place, like wood, and was speechless for a long time. In the past five years, they have never met each other, although they have been looking hard, they have no choice but to wander, and they have never found anything, and they never thought that they could recognize each other in the palace today.
He Lai shouted: "Mother!"
"Son...... Son......"
Zhang Qin cried with joy, and the mother and son hugged their heads and cried. This family reunion, Mo said that Lu Yihao was stunned, and Zhao Gou never expected that when the two of them were a little more emotionally stable, they asked the reason.
"They all blame me for not taking good care of him......"
He was afraid that Zhang Qin would leak his mouth, so he hurriedly took over the conversation and made up a lie: "Ten years ago, I accidentally got lost, and once begged for a living, but I never gave up looking for it, and I have not heard from me for ten years, and I have always thought that my father and mother had an accident." To be able to reunite here today, the emperor's great kindness and great virtue will be remembered in my heart, and it will be unforgettable. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
This sycophant is obviously not light or heavy, Zhao Goulongyan Dayue, this time the minister of the Qin Mission went to the north, was promoted to "Protector of the Country", the official rank was a good grade, and he got married three days later.
Lu Yihao never expected that a little sparrow in the past had become a phoenix on the branch, and he could sit on an equal footing with himself, seeing the emperor's happy appearance, he seemed to like him quite a lot, and the piano was quite tailor-made, which was deeply appreciated by the emperor.
Out of the palace, Lu Yihao came over to congratulate with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to He Guogong's family for reuniting, becoming an official and becoming a knight, tying the knot, and accounting for all the three happy events in life!"
Zhang Qin said: "My son is still young, please mention it to the minister." ”
"How dare you. He Guogong is a young talent, wise and brave, and the little girl can marry into He Fu, and she is fortunate to have three lives!"
Don't think I don't know what medicine you sell in your gourd, you old man. If you hadn't obstructed it at the time, Lao Tzu would have been a father now. He came to make a haha and said: "Three days later, you are my father-in-law, and at that time, above the court, you and I are single-minded, and outside the court, there are no two hearts." The father-in-law is relieved, and the son-in-law understands in his heart. ”
As soon as Lu Yihao said this, Lu Yihao nodded and laughed.
Temporarily returning to Zhang Qin's residence, he was drinking tea, and saw his son appear in front of him with infinite scenery, surprised and happy, old tears, and the three of them hugged their heads and cried, each of them told their encounters, feeling that the world was unpredictable, and they couldn't express it, and before they knew it, it was dawn.
In the early dynasty, Zhao Gou praised He Lai again, He Lai expressed his loyalty, thanked the emperor, during which his words were decent, his sycophants were appropriate, Zhao Gou was overjoyed, and all the ministers came to congratulate him, and he was flattered.
After the early pilgrimage, the holy decree then arrived, and the mansion of the Zhengyipin Protector is not an ordinary house, the family, the guards, the maids, the slaves, everything is indispensable. This is a shortcoming, telling him to brag and not make drafts, which is absolutely feasible, but it is a headache for this set. But fortunately, he was originally in business, and he has been the boss of a company in modern times for many years, and there are many people in this Protector's Mansion, so he manages them as if he were managing employees in the company.
According to the prompt, no matter how noisy it is, but there is one that must be observed, the wedding celebration the day after tomorrow must be grand and grand, and the bride must be beautiful and beautiful, and the bigger the pomp, the better.
That's what he said, and that's what he did. In the past two days, he has been constantly receiving ministers from the DPRK and China, and everyone knows that he is now a celebrity around the emperor, and they all want to stammer, and it is inevitable to give money and gifts, and often harvest a lot of wealth every time he receives it. The Great Song Dynasty couldn't fight wars, but commerce and trade were developed, and money was just a number for these wealthy merchants, merchants, and eunuchs. Why not take out a sum of money and seek peace and wealth? Therefore, why not amass a large amount of money without much effort.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the big day has finally arrived.
