said that Shen Lingshan was overjoyed when she learned the news of the emperor's marriage. In the past few years, she has been in love with Chen Wenqi, and there have been ups and downs along the way, gathering less and leaving more, and because Chen Wenqi is in the official career, she often has the risk of participating in business. Now that she has been given the emperor's marriage, a marriage has finally come to fruition, teach her how not to be excited? and think of how happy it would be to see that she was wearing a wedding dress and about to become a **? Thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears. Xia Yao saw her crying sadly, and hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong Shan'er?" Shen Lingshan was afraid of causing her grandfather's sadness, so she didn't dare to tell the truth, she wiped away her tears and said casually: "It's okay, grandpa, Shan'er is happy." ”

When Chen Wenqi solved the mystery of Wu Lihan's disappearance and returned to Xia Yao's mansion, the two young people thought that they would soon become husband and wife, and they didn't dare to look at each other directly.

The next day, Chen Wenqi went to the car dealer to rent two carriages with cars, loaded Xia Yao's few "belongings", left the capital, and galloped all the way to Huguang. Within a day, the three of them successfully arrived in Wuchang Mansion.

After many years, when Han Mei and her brother met Xia Yao again, they were already wrong, and everyone couldn't help but sigh again. After listening to Han Mei's reminiscences of the year, Xia Yao insisted on going to Lingshan to visit his daughter, son-in-law and old friend Han Shen and his wife, Shen Qing and Han Mei had no choice but to accompany him up the mountain.

The white-haired man hangs the black-haired man, this situation and this scene are really miserable. Xia Yao stood in front of her daughter's grave, speechless. In the middle of the night, he squatted down and picked up a handful of soil, poured it on Xia Xue's grave, and then gently patted it with his hands. In that way, it was like patting the sleeping daughter in her arms, and she didn't dare to startle her dreams. After a long time, he turned to the joint tomb of Han Shen and his wife, bowed respectfully three times to his old friend, and muttered: "Brother Han, I haven't seen you for twenty years, I don't want my brother to be separated forever." For the sake of the country, we have no regrets about what happened back then. Now, the Liang Fang brothers and the Lingnan Eight Murderers have also received retribution, and you and your sister-in-law can be blinded. ”

Back home, Xia Yao motioned to Chen Wenqi to ask for a holy decree, and Shen Qing, Han Mei, and Han Ming saw the decree before turning sadness into joy.

In addition to being happy, Shen Lingshan was still thinking about the incident that had been haunting her for months, she pulled Shen Qing to a secluded place and asked, "Daddy, what was the result of that matter?"

Shen Qing was at a loss for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What's that?"

Shen Lingshan's eyes widened, and she asked uneasily, "Daddy, you won't forget, right?" ”

Only then did Shen Qing understand what she was asking, so he said lightly: "You mean Aunt Fang's matter, right? Since Daddy made a promise, you still don't believe it?"

Shen Lingshan said happily: "So, it's done?"

Shen Qing nodded and smiled: "Well, it's done." ”

"Daddy, you're amazing. Shen Lingshan praised Shen Qing, then ran to Han Ming and said happily: "Uncle, congratulations, I have an aunt." When she was born, Han Ming was only in her early teens and was also a child, so the two were both uncles and nephews and friends, and their relationship was very harmonious.

Han Ming smiled shyly and didn't make a sound.

A sentence reminded Han Mei, and she said to Shen Qing: "Yes, senior brother, the Fang family has agreed to this family business, and Ming'er is not too young, are you going to handle their marriage? Otherwise, the nephews are all married, how can the uncle still be alone?"

Shen Qing sighed in embarrassment and said, "I actually have considered this matter, but it's just a little tricky. Qi'er and Shan'er were married by the emperor, and the political envoy Si Taolu was appointed to officiate the marriage, and the days could not be delayed. If you do the marriage of the junior brother first, it will be too late, and if the marriage of Qi'er Shan'er is done, it is unreasonable to do the marriage of the junior brother. ”

"What's so difficult about this?" Xia Yao smiled and said, "It's set on the same day, wouldn't it be better for double happiness to come to the door?"

"Uncle Xia, your idea is good, but it's still not easy to do. Qi'er was raised by the Chen family since she was a child, and the wedding should be held at the Chen family, and we will send Shan'er to get married. If my brother's wedding is held on the same day, and my master and sister are not there, how can my sister and I leave home?"

"Well, that's a problem. Xia Yao scratched his head and smacked his tongue.

Han Ming opened his mouth at this time and said, "Uncle Xia, senior brother, sister, don't worry about my affairs. Qi'er Shan'er is married by the emperor, and there is no delay, so choose an auspicious day to do it quickly, and the rest will be talked about later. ”

Everyone thought that this could only be the case, so it was agreed that Shen Qing and Chen Wenqi would first go to the Political Envoy Department to consult Lord Taolu's opinion, and then go to Chenjiazhuang to handle all matters related to the wedding with Chen Ruishan.

When Chen Ruishan and his wife heard that the emperor had given them a marriage, they immediately lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times in the direction of Jingshi. When Shen Qing proposed to hold a wedding in Chenjiazhuang, Chen Ruishan shook his hand again and again and said sincerely:

"Brother Shen, if the daughter-in-law is the daughter of someone else's family, brother, I will happily invite your husband and wife to come to Chenjiazhuang and jointly organize the wedding for Qi'er; ”

"Brother, what are you talking about? You have worked hard to raise Qi'er to adulthood, shouldn't you have a lively wedding at home?" Shen Qing also sincerely persuaded.

"Brother Shen, don't persuade me. Wouldn't it be better for the political envoy to officiate the marriage of the lord, do you still have to ask him to come to this remote village? You just let the old brother and I steal a lazy time, and then I will take my family to eat a ready-made wedding wine, and visit Wuchang City by the way, wouldn't it be better?"

Wen nodded repeatedly.

Seeing him say this, Shen Qing nodded not shaking his head or shaking his head, so he looked at Chen Wenqi on the side, hoping that he would persuade Chen Ruishan.

Chen Wenqi said with a smile: "Two fathers, Qi'er has a reluctant request. Since Qi'er is fortunate to have four fathers and mothers to love, she asks for an extra wedding banquet. Although Master Tao humbly said that no matter where he was, Qi'er thought that it would be better to hold a wedding in Wuchang City, so as to save people from going back and forth; Look—"

"Great, wonderful. Chen Ruishan and Shen Qing high-fived and praised.

Therefore, Shen Qing and Chen Ruishan neither invited a warlock nor drew lots to tell the fortunes, and the two chose the day of the twentieth day of the lunar month to hold a wedding for Chen Wenqi and Shen Lingshan in Wuchang City with the ready-made imperial calendar at home, and then returned to Chenjiazhuang to hold a wedding banquet three days later, that is, on the twenty-second day of the lunar month.

The big event was set, Chen and Shen were happy in their hearts, and asked Jingxing to go to the pawnshop to call Chen Xiangshan back, and drink a few small dishes brought by Mrs. Wen.

During the banquet, Chen Wenqi asked Chen Xiangshan:

"Fifth uncle, have you ever been on Osaki Mountain in recent days?"

Chen Xiangshan knew if he had been to Fangjiazhai when he asked, so he shook his head and said, "No." ”

"No? So—do you know about Aunt Haoling?" Chen Wenqi continued.

"I don't know. What's the matter with her?"

"Aunt Haoling, she has found the person she likes. ”

Chen Xiangshan's spirits perked up, and he leaned over and asked, "Is it really happening?" Then his eyes darkened, and he said in a heavy tone: "Could it be that she indiscriminately agreed to someone in order to fulfill her sister?"

Chen Wenqi looked at Shen Qing and smiled, and said, "It's not a mile." This person, compared with the fifth uncle, is not much worse, and Aunt Haoling is a match made in heaven. ”

Chen Xiangshan turned his worries into joy: "That's good, that's good! Who is this person?"

Chen Wenqi put away his joke and said seriously: "I won't sell it to you, that person is my uncle." ”

Chen Xiangshan said happily: "It's your uncle? Oh, it's indeed a match made in heaven." Whoever pulls the thread is really discerning. ”

"Fifth Uncle, now that Aunt Haoling has a whereabouts, Fifth Aunt should also agree to marry you, right?"

Chen Ruishan, who was on the side, said happily to Shen Qing: "We are kissing and kissing." ”

Shen Qing nodded and said, "Yes." I'm thinking now, since you insist that Qi'er and their wedding be held in Wuchang City, can you handle his uncle's affairs together, after all, he is not young. ”

Chen Ruishan stretched out his chopsticks and was about to pick up vegetables, but after listening to Shen Qing's words, he retracted his hand again, thought for a while and said: "The Fang family is twin sisters, how can they marry one and keep the other? If that's the case, I can't say that the fifth child has to do it?"

When Shen Qing heard this, he found that the problem was coming, and hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, don't blame, it's me who didn't think it through. If my junior brother and Qi'er hold a wedding together, the fifth brother will have to do it too......, right? Ahem, that's it, let's talk about it later. ”

Chen Ruishan put down his chopsticks and said, "No." Brother Shen, my brother wants to touch the light of your Shen Mansion and hold the wedding of the fifth brother in Wuchang City. Three weddings are held at the same time, the Fang family brothers and sisters must be happy, and I will save trouble here, but I will cause trouble for you. ”

Shen Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good, good! Brother Chen said this, that is to treat us as a family, how fortunate is Shen? Chen, Fang, and Shen are only the opinion of Brother Fang. Otherwise, let's stop drinking, and while it's still early, we'll set off to Osaki Mountain to propose?"

"What are you waiting for? Chen Ruishan put down the wine glass, pulled up Shen Qing and walked out.

"Qi'er, you hurry back to Wuchang City, tell your mother and your uncle, arrange three cave rooms, and we will come back when we go to Daqi Mountain. Shen Qing commanded as he walked.

Chen Wenqi originally planned to follow up Daqi Mountain to see if the old monster in Lingnan was really resurrected. But since my father let him go back to Wuchang City, and believed that the old monster in Lingnan was cheating, it was no different from not seeing it, so he gave up.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twentieth day of the lunar month, and the lights inside and outside the Shen house were colorful. In the small courtyard of the front door, a color shed was temporarily erected, the color shed was enshrined in the middle of the emperor's marriage decree, two red lacquer Taishi chairs were placed on the left side, three stools were neatly placed on the right side, and a big red mandarin duck water carpet was laid in the middle.

At the right time, with a burst of joy from far and near, two by eight carried a big red sedan chair to the outside of the courtyard, and suddenly the drums played in unison, firecrackers rang out in unison, Shen Qing and Han Mei, Chen Ruishan and Wen led the groom Chen Xiangshan and Han Ming, who were wearing champion hats and wearing big red flowers, stepped forward, took the hands of Fang Haoyu and his wife and said:

"In-laws, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Rejoice, rejoice. Fang Haoyu and his wife were full of spring breeze and responded happily.

Chen Xiangshan and Han Ming took out the newcomer with a big red hijab on his head from the sedan chair and took the lead in standing on the carpet in the middle of the color shed; in the cheers of everyone, Chen Wenqi, who was also wearing a champion hat and a big red flower, walked out of the gate with Shen Lingshan, who also had a big red hijab on his head, and walked to stand a little later next to his uncle Han Ming under the guidance of Ruizhu.

Because it was the emperor's marriage, and the three weddings were held at the same time, Shen Qing asked Gu Jun, who was also a colleague who was also in charge of affairs, to be the master of ceremonies for today's wedding.

Seeing that the bride and groom were in place, Gu Jun stood in front of the shed and shouted, "The wedding begins." The bridegroom, the bride's parents, brother and sister-in-law are seated. ”

Shen Qing, Han Mei, Chen Ruishan and his wife Wen, Fang Haoyu and his wife Wang walked into the color shed in turn and sat on the stool on the right.

"I would like to invite Lord Anxibo Xia Yaoxia to take a seat. "Xia Yao has already sent a message, and Gu Jun has not sung his official position. With the support of Zhu'er and Chunhong, Xia Yao also went to the Taishi chair on the left side of the color shed and took a seat. The first Taishi chair was reserved for Tao Lu.

"I have invited the political envoy of Hu Guangbu, Lord Taolu, to officiate at the marriage. ”

Tao Lu came out of the back room, walked to Xia Yao and stopped, and arched his hand to him: "Lord Xia, congratulations, congratulations!"

Xia Yao hurriedly stood up and returned the salute: "Tongxi, Tongxi! Master Tao, let you bother." ”

"Yes, you may be seated. ”

After Tao Lu finished speaking, he turned around and took the holy decree from the case, cleared his throat, and said, "Chen Wenqi and Shen Lingshan listen to the decree. ”

Chen Wenqi and Shen Lingshan walked up to Tao Lu and knelt down on their knees, while the rest of the hosts and guests knelt in place to observe.

"Fengtian carried the emperor and said: Chen Wenqi, a bachelor and general of martial arts, is already weak, and he is in the year of marriage, so he should choose a virtuous woman and match. I heard that Shen Lingshan, the granddaughter of Anxi Bo Xia Yao, is outstanding, gentle, respectful, dignified, and treats the words in the boudoir, and Chen Wenqi can be called a pair of heaven and earth. In order to achieve a good match, Chen Wenqi and Shen Lingshan were authorized to marry Qin and Jin, and were allowed to take a three-month vacation to choose a good day to complete the marriage. Chin!"

Chen Wenqi had already received the decree in front of the emperor, but for the sake of the grand wedding, it was read out again by Tao Lu.

"The minister (people's daughter) Chen Wenqi (Shen Lingshan) received the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Chen Wenqi and Shen Lingshan took the holy decree and stood back where they came.

After reading the holy decree, Tao Lu turned to the guests and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor for this domain to be the officiant of Chen Wenqi and Shen Lingshan in the emperor's holy decree. After coming to Shen Mansion, he witnessed Chen Xiangshan and Fang Haoqin, Han Ming and Fang Haoling tying the knot. This is not only a grand event for Shen, Chen, and Fang, but also a grand event for the sixteen mansions of our Huguang Province, which is gratifying!"

Gu Jun reminded in a low voice: "Master Tao, there are obviously only three happy events here, how can you say that it has become the 'four joys'?"

Tao Lu smiled "hehe" and said, "Master Gu, you don't know, there is still a happy mile here in Xiaguan." After that, he took out another holy decree from his bosom and said, "Chen Wenqi listens to the decree." ”

Chen Wenqi was stunned for a moment, and listened to the order again? I didn't have time to think about it, so I had to turn over and kneel down in front of Tao Lu again: "Chen Wenqi took the order." ”

"'Fengtian carried the emperor and said: Chen Wenqi, a bachelor and general of martial arts, is really academic and mellow, and he is in charge of Geng Jie. When you are in trouble, you know the formation map, collect the three guards, check the traitors, and appease them, and your achievements are very good.

The system said: The imperial court attaches importance to the division of the people's society, seeks the officials who are close to the people, encourages sincerity and respects the people with loyalty, and increases the rank and changes the name, which is the code of national excellence. Zith Seal ......'"

"Master Tao, please...... Pause......" A panting voice came into the color shed.

Tao Lu was stunned for a moment, but the habit he had developed over the years still made him involuntarily read the whole sentence: "'...... Er for the Huangzhou Mansion from the four prefects ......'. General Qin, is that you?

"Ahem...... Master Tao, no...... Thing, it's fine. Qin Zong stomped his feet and said. One step late, after all, he didn't replace this holy decree, how to explain to Master Ma when he went back?

"It's okay, what are you doing? Tao Lu muttered a sentence and continued to proclaim: "Zite Fenger is the prefect of Huangzhou Mansion from the fourth grade, and he is in charge of the decree of the first government, and you should serve diligently, cultivate your duties, and be loyal to Jingxian, and live up to my expectations." On the third day of the winter month of the fourth year of Hongzhi. ”

"Minister Chen Wenqi thank Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Chen Wenqi respectfully accepted the holy decree and returned to Shen Lingshan's side.

"Brother, the emperor has let you go to Huangzhou Mansion? Shen Lingshan secretly pulled Chen Wenqi's sleeve and said happily. thought that she would part with Ai Lang after the honeymoon, and Shen Lingshan always felt a little lonely in her heart. It's okay now, Ai Lang is in Huangzhou Mansion, and the two can finally stay together, how can Shen Lingshan not be happy?

Only then did Xia Yao understand the meaning of the emperor's "responsibility to assist the king in governing the country for the ministers, and to take into account the righteousness of the ministers and the family for the king", and he was secretly grateful.

Shen Qing and Chen Ruishan, two husband and wife, saw that their beloved son was not only promoted, but also a local official, and now they could not only be loyal to the country, but also go home to fulfill their filial piety, so they stepped forward together and thanked Tao Lu.

"Hehe, if you want to thank the emperor, thank the emperor, the lower officials are just passing the decree on their behalf, and they don't dare to be it. There is still official business in the lower official yamen, so I will leave. Tao Lu said goodbye to Xia Yao, Shen Qing, Chen Ruishan, and Fang Haoyu one by one, and finally walked to Chen Wenqi's side and said:

"Master Chen, congratulations. In the future, Huangzhou Mansion will be entrusted to you. ”

Chen Wenqi bowed down and said: "Wenqi should do his best to share the worries of the court and adults. Please forgive Wenqi for the inconvenience of sending it far away, and Master Tao will walk slowly. ”

After Tao Lu left, Chen Wenqi found Qin Zong, hugged his fists and said, "General Qin, why are you here?"

"I ...... I'm here to congratulate General Chen. Qin Zong said inconsistently. As soon as the words came out, he realized that he didn't have no congratulatory gifts, and was busy making excuses to cover up: "Hey-General Chen, I was in a hurry before going down, and I didn't have time to prepare a congratulatory ceremony, please forgive General Chen." ”

Chen Wenqi smiled: "General Qin's ability to come shows Gao Yi, what can we talk about? General Qin will first please take care of yourself, stay at the end of the salute, and then come and talk with General Qin." ”

Under the auspices of Gu Jun, the master of ceremonies, the three couples worshipped heaven and earth and Gao Tang (Han Ming and Chen Xiangshan, two couples whose parents have passed away, the eldest brother is the father and the eldest sister-in-law is the mother), and the husband and wife bowed three times in front of the guests, and then sent them to their respective cave rooms.

After the newlyweds are sent to the cave room, the wedding feast officially begins. At this time, the bridegroom is customary to go to the banquet to toast with the guests one by one to show his gratitude.

Because of Shen Qing's relationship, a lot of colleagues from the capital division came, and they gathered around the table alone. The military department has a close relationship with the capital division, so Qin Zong also took a seat at this table.

Chen Wenqi, accompanied by his father, came over with a wine jug, poured a full glass of wine for the guests, and raised his hands and said: "Wenqi got married today, thanks to all the adults who came to cheer, I am really grateful." Here, I would like to give you a glass and express my gratitude. After saying that, he drank it all.

"General Shen, today Ling Lang is newly married and promoted to the prefect of Huangzhou, this is the happiest time in life. Come, I will toast your father and son. Gu Jun stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said to Shen Qing and Chen Wenqi.

Shen Qing picked up his wine glass and said, "General Gu, today you can afford to be the master of ceremonies for the children's wedding, and it is natural for my father and son to respect you." Come, Qi'er, let's have a cup of general together. ”

"Mutual respect, mutual respect!" Gu Jun laughed heartily and toasted.

Chen Wenqi walked behind Qin Zong and said, "General Qin, you came from afar today, and I admire you very much. Come, I'll toast you alone. ”

Qin Zong stood up, stretched out his hand to cover the wine glass on the table, and said with a reluctant smile: "General Chen is newly married today, let's drink less." Besides, it may be a long-distance journey, and it is no longer enough to drink. As the saying goes, I can't drink enough wine, and this glass of wine ...... It's better to be free. ”

Looking at Qin Zong in front of him, Chen Wenqi remembered the crazy monk on Shuozhou Road back then, he shouldn't be so decadent and lonely, let alone on someone else's wedding day......? What is there for him to hide?

Thinking of this, Chen Wenqi said: "Okay, save this glass of wine for later." General Qin, you must be tired from the long journey. Then I will take you to the guest room to rest. How?"

Qin Zong excused himself and said, "There are a lot of customers in your house today, so I'd better go find an inn." By the way, I will return to Beijing early tomorrow morning, and I will not leave the house by then. Then he clasped his fists and saluted everyone present, got up and walked out.

Chen Wenqi grabbed Qin Zong's arm and said, "General Qin, aren't you scolding me? How can you come all the way to say good news to people, and the host wants guests to stay in the inn?"

Qin Zong's mind was full of thoughts about how to deal with Ma Wensheng, and he didn't think about it for a while, Chen Wenqi's words were indeed inappropriate. Then he stopped and said: "That is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, please ask General Chen to find a bed to rest for the night." ”

"General Qin, please come with me. ”

Chen Wenqi took Qin Zong to a guest room, made a pot of fragrant tea for him, then pulled over a chair and sat down, and said, "General Qin, I can see from below that you have something on your mind?"

Qin Zong hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No...... No, I'm just a little tired below. General Chen, there are many guests, you go and get busy, I'll ...... It's time to rest. ”

Chen Wenqi pulled the chair in front of Qin Zong, and said frankly: "General Qin, you have always been as frank as a person, you shouldn't be like this. If you see you as a confidant, why don't you speak up?"

"No, really not, General Chen don't worry about it. Qin Zong's words were obviously weak.

"What a solemn thing it is to read the holy decree, but General Qin made a loud noise to stop the decree when Lord Taolu announced the decree. Isn't General Qin afraid of committing the crime of defrauding the king?"

"This ......"

Chen Wenqi didn't allow him to defend, and then said: "General Qin personally promised to come to congratulate him, but he was empty-handed, and he was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to buy a congratulatory ceremony. Could it be that General Qin was improvised?"

"This ......"

Chen Wenqi decided to "force" him again:

"You and I have been friends for many years, and we know each other well, and I like to explore the unknown the most. Won't you leave this suspense in the next place for me to feel like a fish in my throat on my wedding day?"

When Qin Zong heard this, he felt very uneasy in his heart. After bowing his head and weighing it again, he said:

"General Chen, I can tell you, but you have to promise me that this matter will be said as soon as it is said, and you must neither take it to heart nor let a third person know. ”

Sure enough, something happened.

"I promise you yes. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Qin Zong was obviously still not at ease, and stared at a sentence: "A gentleman's word,"

"It's hard to chase the horse! Oh, General Qin, just say, what I said when didn't count?"

Qin Zong gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, I'm here to announce the decree to General Chen. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Wenqi was so shocked that he got up from his seat, grabbed Qin Zong's hand and asked urgently: "You are also here to preach the decree? Where is the holy decree? Why don't you announce it?"

Qin Zong calmed down at this time, he helped Chen Wenqi to the chair, and then said: "It should be said that I am here to exchange the holy decree, but Lord Tao has already announced the decree, and the holy decree I brought cannot be announced again." After that, he told Chen Wenqi what Ma Wensheng had instructed.

Chen Wenqi stretched out his hand and said, "General Qin, please give me a holy decree and let me see what the will is." ”

"General Chen knows the reason, so let's get busy, and don't read the holy decree. "Qin Zong didn't want him to know the holy will, which was also what the emperor meant.

"General Qin, this 'fish' is still in my throat. Chen Wenqi pointed to his throat and said.

"Alas!" Qin Zong was helpless, so he asked for the holy decree from his bosom and handed it to Chen Wenqi.

Chen Wenqi unfolded the holy decree and saw that it was written:

"Fengtian carried the emperor and said: Therefore, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, Batu Mengke, Yibu Thorn, Huosieve and other allied forces in Monan, disturbed Gansu, invaded Xuanfu, entered Liaodong, frequently harassed our nine-border towns, poisoned the border people, and was really a disaster for China. If there is no punishment, how can we build our great Ming Weide? In particular, the two towns of Datong and Xuanfu are the fences of the imperial capital, and it is advisable to choose elite soldiers and strong generals to guard them.

The system said: Chen Wenqi, a bachelor and martial arts general of the Hanlin Academy, is talented and martial arts, outstanding, and guarding the middle road, which is very agreeable. Zite enshrined Chen Wenqi as the general of Xuanwu from the fourth grade, and awarded the border defense envoys of Datong and Xuanfu towns, patrolling the sky on behalf of the three armies. On the fifth day of the winter month of the fourth year of Hongzhi. ”

Chen Wenqi looked at it, and every inch was in chaos. He can completely follow the previous appointment, if nothing happens, he will be ordered to go to Huangzhou, be a Taiping prefect, and take into account loyalty and filial piety. But how can you push away the trust of "guarding the middle road"?

Qin Zong stretched out his hand to snatch the holy decree and said solemnly: "General Chen, remember the previous words, just read it, don't let it be difficult to get under it." ”

Chen Wenqi smiled, got up and said, "That's nature. It's time to go, General Qin should rest early. ”

Chen Wenqi returned to the cave room, and Shen Lingshan was still sitting on the edge of the bed. Looking at his beloved wife with a big red hijab covering her face, scenes from the past appeared in front of him one by one. In the past few years, she has not known about her tenderness, and she has no knowledge of the resentment that she can't stay in love...... Do you really want to disappoint her?

Chen Wenqi walked up to Shen Lingshan and gently removed the red hijab. In the swaying candle shadow, she is so beautiful, so charming, so beautiful, so glamorous.

Chen Wenqi's heart shook, and he couldn't help but take Shen Lingshan into his arms.

"Sister Shan—"

"Brother—"

Shen Lingshan's delicate body trembled for a while, and then slowly stretched out her jade arm and hugged Ailang's waist.

At this moment, Chen Wenqi's square inch is chaotic again.

After a long time, Chen Wenqi gently separated the entwined bodies of the two, sat beside Shen Lingshan, held her soft and said affectionately:

"Sister Shan, how can a foolish brother be so loved by you?"

"Brother, look at what you said? Sister Meng Ge will not give up, first marry as a brother, and then tie the knot as a liking, this is enough! From now on, my sister wishes her husband to sing with her wife, raise her eyebrows for her brother, and never regret it. Shen Lingshan leaned on Chen Wenqi's shoulder and muttered.

Chen Wenqi was silent, full of guilt. After a while, he said softly:

"How can the foolish brother be willing to let you raise your eyebrows? I only want you to be the window and the mirror decal yellow, and you live happily, which is the greatest comfort to the foolish brother. ”

Shen Lingshan sighed, and leaned on Chen Wenqi's shoulder again. I saw that her apricot eyes were misty and her delicate body was weak, and she was lying next to Chen Wenqi's ear and blowing like an orchid, "Brother...... I'm sleepy......"

The good night is short.

"Oh oh" The rooster in the suburbs sang a long way, waking Shen Lingshan up from his sleep. She turned her head to see that Airo was not around.

"Brother, it's not dawn yet, why do you get up so early?" Shen Lingshan asked dreamily with sleepy eyes.

For a long time, no one answered.

Shen Lingshan suddenly woke up, turned over and sat up, her eyes swept over the cave room, and Chen Wenqi's figure was nowhere to be seen.

"This old man, I can't forget the practice on the wedding day. Shen Lingshan muttered and got out of bed. was thinking about whether to go to practice with him like usual, and suddenly saw a piece of paper pressed on the teacup on the table in the candlelight, and hurriedly took out a look, it was Chen Wenqi's handwriting:

"Sister Shan, my wife:

The border situation is urgent, and the foolish brother must hurry to Xuancheng. The newlywed Yan'er, the brother couldn't bear to say goodbye to his sister in person, so he used the book as an endorsement and told his heartfelt feelings:

Yesterday, General Qinzong came to the house, and the name was congratulated, but in fact, he also passed on the message. The brother then learned that today's Tatars are ambitious wolves, taking pleasure in plundering and slaughtering, and taking pride in robbing Han land. At this time, our border city is defiling the flesh of the Tartars, and the border people are being slaughtered by the Tartars. The ancients said, 'the general, the commander of the people, the lord of the country's security', so the elder brother was ordered to chase away the Hu and eliminate the riots, so that the people can get their place and the country can get their prestige.

The foolish brother is ordered to fight on the border, and loyalty is loyal, but he abandons his family and wife, and his heart is related: as a son of man, it is difficult to serve the high hall, which is unfilial; as a husband, it is unrighteous not to keep his wife. But between the family and the country, the foolish brother can only choose one of the two, loyalty and filial piety and righteousness. If it is not a foolish brother who loves his name and ignores filial piety, it is really a family that is not round, and he can get the reunion of ten thousand families. As a result, the foolish brother did not hesitate. Just wait for the day of triumph, and then ask your father and mother and virtuous sister for their guilt. Love you! ”
