Chapter one hundred and fortieth, proposing
The Zhongcheng Province, the fief of King Ning, Weinan, and Funan Province included Nanxing in the middle. What the King of Lu thought was to attack the south of the capital.
The capital city and the fiefdom of Xichang in the west, and the provinces in the north were divided into King Chuan, and King Ding's fiefdom was far away. The first step for King Lu to be safe was to take Nanxing and divide the whole country, so that King Ning could not get support or support the capital. When he took the fiefdom of King Ning, the south and southwest would officially become the place where King Lu set off.
With his fiefdom plus the fiefdom of Zhongcheng Province, the fiefdom of King Ning and Nanxing, the local fertile climate has its own characteristics. The King of Lu will not lack war horses, soldiers, food and grass, or trade. At the age of 40, he and the next generation will have enough time to get the whole country.
At that time, Xi Chonggu would be his own talent... King Lu shook his head and let the Xi family go. He had specially met Xi Chonggu to win over. His eyes were paired with shock, and both of them were shocked.
Domineering, both sides have it.
Both parties have the foundation of aristocratic families.
Smart and talented, both sides have it.
The only difference is His Highness and the other is a family, and they even have similar heights, not far apart, tough and solemn and sharp.
King Lu, who thinks that he is fully prepared, is the son of luck, sometimes feels that the best fortune in the world is worthy of his reputation.
Nanxing.
It’s not that I often think of it, but that the founding of a country is not to be missed, and Nanxing is the most suitable.
King Lu thought about it almost the same. After returning to the case, he picked up his pen and wrote a stroke. There were sixteen cities in Nanxing and Zhongcheng Province. The letter was written to eight generals, and they each led a team of people to clearly harass the six cities. The other two generals were in plain clothes to harass the inland of Nanxing, trying to lead the "bandit fire" to Weinan.
When I finally used the seal, the bright red color seemed to be in the mood of King Lu. Liang Ren, you completely angered me!
.....
Throughout May, Mrs. Chengping Bo spent the cool at home and continued to study. The Nanxing Summer Chamber of Commerce had begun. Mrs. Bo was one of them. A lot of invitations came, and the mourning people tactfully sent the housekeeper to the house. She was afraid that her plain clothes would destroy the scenery and colorful clothes of the summer, although wearing white clothes in summer is a fashion.
The sweet fragrance spread in the air, and slowly came in along the mosquito-blocking curtains. When Mrs. Chengpingbo was tired of reading the account book, she was in the sweet fragrance for a while.
Fruits ripen in summer, and dried fruit and fruit products also need to be ordered during this season. The products at that time were generally not traded at that time. It was a batch of fresh fruits that were about to be placed on the branches at this time, and they were also sold in advance at the chamber of commerce last winter.
In previous years, Nanxing, which is full of fruit fragrance, was a happy festival for Youtong flowers. Sweetness is the source of happiness. Smelling the sweet fragrance, and doing many housework that Ding deliberately gave, he didn't feel tired. He always thought that if he could go out for a walk, see the chamber of commerce beside lotus, and use his own private money to buy a fruit to eat, it would be a day for everyone to be the best.
That is her current day.
She would think of the future Princess Jin again. Chengping Bo died for more than half a year. She had the deepest understanding that without His Highness, there would be no peace in the current Bo Mansion. In the future, she would be inseparable from contact with His Highness and His Highness's Mansion. However, this is unrealistic. She is a widow and His Highness is a man.
If there is a princess, that would be great. If you frequently see the princess at most, it would be feasible to see her more often in one day.
A happy and vague smile appeared on Mrs. Bo's lips. The King of Jin was about to get engaged and marry again. Mrs. Chengping Bo was happy from the bottom of her heart, hoping that the good girl would be proposed by Your Highness. The only one who could be a good girl, right?
After thinking about it, she looked down at the account book, drew circles and crosses, and did not recognize too many words. The account book she needed to handle could not be understood immediately. If she had time, she would write a "circle and crosses" and just understand it yourself.
This is also a benefit. Others can't understand anything, and they don't have time to change it to a simplified version. She has to remember it with her youth.
At this moment, Liang Ren, the King of Jin, was as happy as Mrs. Bo. Taizai Hong personally sent him a secret letter. In mid-June, the marriage imperial edict would go to the Heifengkou official's house. Liang Ren got up early in the morning and went to Huangzhou.
The gift was prepared two years ago, and there were additional purchases in the past two years. The candidates for the matchmaker had already decided that they could arrive a few days later, and wait until Liang Ren and Xi Chonggu discussed the specific details before they could negotiate, and it was just the time.
In mid-June, Liang Ren received news that two cities were attacked. He laughed it off. He was not a worm in King Lu's belly, but King Lu showed him aggression. Liang Ren knew that King Lu would not swallow the losses he suffered in his hands. If he didn't find it back, it would not be him.
Two days later, news of the attack on the other two cities came, and Liang Ren was even more careless.
No matter which of the sixteen cities is pulled out, from the reinforcement of the city gate to the food in the city and then to the assistance in the surrounding areas, it is no problem to defend the city for three years, such as King Lu, who dares not be arrogant.
He continued to run to Huangzhou, and his private itinerary was the same as last time. Liang Ren himself arranged the first half of the journey. After the Xi family arrived, the Xi family sent people to greet him. The Xi family protected the Xi family.
Xi Chonggu came in person.
The stars in the middle of the night shone on the heads of two horses gradually approaching. Xi Chonggu suddenly felt his heart moving. The person who came over had his eyes and eyes that were changing brightly and lightly in the darkness had not changed, and the weakness in his bones disappeared.
Two years ago, he came to see him with a sincere tone and humble attitude, and with a desperate silence, he did not hide his request for marriage but the support of the Xi family.
Xi Chonggu asked many questions, and it was not only the marriage, but the support from the Xi family.
Someone would like to ask, both of them have this attitude, where do they place the girls of the Xi family? The girls of the Xi family are the title, title, bond and gift of this marriage. The last statement is very bad, but it is the true essence of such events in such dynasties.
Back then, Xi Chonggu could see that Liang Ren was not a cowardly person. He was a poor man who was bullied by the rich and had no power to breathe. Xi Chonggu severely despised King Lu. King Jin was unstable as soon as he reached his footsteps. King Lu was famous for his troops. Is this kind of fighting very powerful?
Your Highness, King of Lu, do you think there are no loyal ministers in other provinces?
It is one thing that doesn’t love King Jin now, and it is another thing that King Lu gets Nanxing like a tiger. Besides, King Jin is his highness, and the Xi family also has their own ideas. Thoughts and rebellion are two different things.
"Uncle." Liang Ren held his fists and saluted immediately. Xi Chonggu came to greet him in person undoubtedly to express his attitude. Liang Ren looked at him with joy.
Xi Chonggu muttered something like that, as if cheering for such a title. Then he returned the greeting with a smile. The one who was furious and scolding for two years went where he was, and his face was filled with kindness and armed his teeth.
"Your Highness, let's go home."
The martial law was in the city of Huangzhou and surrounding areas. Xi Chonggu issued an emergency martial law order when he left for greeting. It was late at night when they arrived in Huangzhou. He entered the city gate in a big manner. Jiang's smile was undisguised outside the brightly lit main gate.
Jiang's marriage was very good. Two years ago, in order to express his importance, Xi Chonggu specially asked his wife to come out to pay homage, and in the end, of course it turned out to meet with relatives.
The aristocratic family had their style, and neither Xi Chonggu nor Jiang's people were allowed to laugh at the troubled people. Instead, the King of Jin went on a secret trip to protect Nanxing. The Xi couple would only think that Liang Ren was right, and he liked the Xi family, which was brilliant.
Jiang knew that Liang Ren was a famous talent.
Her husband also had a good look, but he was always hard in martial arts. The son born by Jiang was like a father. He was snow-white and pink after a hundred days. Everyone who saw him said he was like a little fairy child.
Handsome people are popular everywhere. When Jiang saw the young man coming up in the bright light, his eyes were not cracked with a smile. He was so informed that he served her here late at night. The King of Jin who had made an appointment came again to propose marriage.
The people who served were informed and tactful, and praised them one after another: "The fifteenth uncle is the best-looking one,"
"I have no identity. This is chosen by the master himself, and other son-in-laws cannot compare."
"Sister-in-law."
Liang Ren smiled and greeted him. He was casually dressed and the greeting was not abrupt.
Jiang did not return the gift he liked. He grabbed Liang Ren's hand and took him through the sleeve and entered the house: "Go home to rest. Thank you for your hard work when you come back on Dayuan'er's way."
Xi Chonggu laughed enthusiastically when he saw his wife: "Madam, we haven't used dinner yet. It's what I said that I can't eat well on the road, so why not rush into the house and eat again."
"Yeye yeye, 15th Lady, waiting in the kitchen." Jiang turned around with a smile, and his steps did not stop.
He lowered his voice: "Don't laugh at us for not doing well. The fifteenth lady has worked hard all these days, and she has never left the kitchen since she came down from the palace."
This must be false. The girl from the Xi family cannot sleep in the kitchen, but she never wears good words. Xi Chonggu and Liang Ren laughed again. Liang Ren laughed politely: "If you have a wife, you have a wife, and if you have a wife, you have a wife, you have a wife, you have a wife, you have a wife, you have a wife, you have a wife."
"It's a waste of time! This is not what it should be."
Xi Chonggu was a little wandering tonight, but he wouldn't swear at home.
Jiang pretended not to hear it, so he took Liang Ren all the way into the main hall, and served tea and snacks in his own hands for a quarter of an hour. After being reminded by her husband again, Jiang went straight to the kitchen: "I'll go urge for food, and I'll come soon."
The wide kitchen has a strong fragrance. Xi Shiwuniang leaned over and stared at the heat in front of the soup pot. There were two girls on her left and right. She looked at Xi Shiwuniang with a smile. Xi Shiwuniang's eyelashes seemed to turn red, and she tried her best to pretend that she could not see it.
Jiang's figure appeared outside the kitchen, and the girl on the left clapped her hands and smiled, "My uncle is here, and the fifth aunt can see her uncle."
"Tsk, I'm going to hit you." Xi Shiwu Niang was so angry that she was embarrassed.
The girl on the right also smiled and said, "The fifteenth aunt has not really seen her uncle yet. She has not obtained the so-called lottery ticket, so why should others laugh at her?"
"You two are hateful," Xi Shiwu Niang raised her hand to hit them. Jiang just happened to enter the door, and the two girls hugged Jiang: "Mother quickly took the fifteenth aunt away. She would act coquettish if she couldn't see her uncle in a while."
These two are daughters born by Jiang, so they called Miss Xi Shiwu for her aunt. Jiang also laughed, and Xi Shiwu's stomped her feet in anger: "Come on, let's go see the new son-in-law now."
When he thought of something, he turned around and called his daughter: "Xiaodan, Xiaoyue, come and serve the food."
Xi Xiaodan and Xi Xiaoyue curled their lips and complained in unison: "Mother, my fifteenth aunt delivers food, but we don't give it to you."
"You can bring it to the entrance of the hall, it's not too late for your 15th aunt to take it," Jiang did not look back, and another gust of wind pulled Xi Shiwu Niang outside the main hall.
No wonder the fifteenth lady was not allowed to serve the food. The mother-in-law was waiting here with a mirror-table makeup box. Five red lanterns were surrounded by high. Jiang personally tidied up his makeup for his sister-in-law, added a few more jewelry, and ordered her to take the food first, and happily brought it in.
Liang Ren married a girl who was very moved. He was interested in the Xi family. He had never concealed this and hid it. Xi Chonggu was satisfied with his identity as his nobleman. When he saw Jiang's family come in, it was probably the girl was behind him. Liang Ren stood up first and waited.
Xi Chonggu's satisfied voice was in his ears: "Sit down, your family doesn't want these false etiquettes." In front of him was Jiang's handing over a girl: "Look at how bad we are, this is the last sister, but a beautiful girl."
Before seeing the person, Liang Ren lowered his body deeply and bowed to the end. His plain clothes were floating in this movement. Xi Shiwu Niang's face was red like a cloud, and she couldn't help but kneel down: "I've seen Your Highness."
Liang Ren bent down and accepted this marriage, so he would not let her kneel down. He stepped forward and raised her elbow-bending sleeves with both hands. With a slight force, Xi Shiwu Niang got up and looked at him face to face.
In the laughter of Xi Chonggu and Jiang, the unmarried couple were satisfied, and their faces were red with their smiles. Liang Ren sat down again in Jiang's enthusiasm, and Xi Shiwuniang served the dishes with a warm melt that seemed to spread throughout her body.
This was the first time she had seen her fiancée. Two years ago, her marriage was secretly decided, only her elder brother Xi Chonggu and her elder sister-in-law Jiang knew about it. She had thought about her marriage in the next two years. Her wet nurse and maid expressed to Jiang in a hurry, and was scolded by Jiang, who was harsh in the family, and had sent two maids for this.
The wet nurse cried to Shiwu Niang, but Shiwu Niang understood, but instead advised the wet nurse: "My parents are no longer here, and the elder brother is the master of the family, so he will not ignore me. Since my sister-in-law has this attitude, I am afraid that the elder brother has already chosen it."
"My girl, what I'm afraid of is the choice of the master. If you promise a family like ours, you will marry a low-marriage to anyone. You must nod and take a look. As the master, why is this difficult?"
The 15th Lady said nothing, but she couldn't say anything to Jiang. She was secretly worried. Last winter, Huangzhou was cold and Xi Shiwu Niang was ill after being cold. When Jiang visited the hospital, the wet nurse took the opportunity to mention it again, and Jiang breathed in the front of the bed.
If you want to say it, you can't blame Xi Chonggu for scolding Liang Ren in anger. Last year, Mrs. Mao Taizai personally sent the noble girls to Nanxing, but Jiang refused to tell Shiwu's mother in advance, because she was afraid that the marriage would not happen, so it would be bad for the girl to think about it.
Seeing that the person was sick, his cheeks were red and his forehead was still hot, Jiang said reluctantly: "How could your brother treat your youngest sister badly? Look at the other aunts in the family, which one of them is not married well? It's really because this person is too expensive. The marriage is uncertain, so he dare not reveal his words to the public."
