Seeing that it is already October, the territory of Qianxiang Country is still full of greenery, and there is no bleak state.
Because all the customs in the country are modeled after the Great Zhou Dynasty, three or five miles outside the Qinglin Mansion, the existence of the official pavilion is indispensable - just a few days ago, Sun Shaozong just welcomed the new special envoy Hou Yong in the official pavilion, and On this day, it was Hou Yong's turn to send him away here.
As Sun Shaozong expected, the court did not intend to commit crimes, and only ordered Sun Shaozong to return to the court immediately after handing over to Hou Yong.
In addition, Hou Yong also brought a piece of good news: the Prince Yizhong who was offended by Sun Shaozong at the beginning has been imprisoned in the ancestral mansion because of his privately made firearms. Even the coffins that were originally ordered were resold to others.
"Jiro!"
But he said that outside the pavilion and beside the ancient road, Hou Yong solemnly clenched his fists, and the rough horse's face showed a bit of loneliness: "After returning to the capital, don't forget to go and say peace to my old lady on behalf of my brother, and let her be well. I will take care of my body, please wait for me to go back and do my filial piety!"
Unlike his predecessor, Ambassador Niu, this Hou Yong was born in the army, and he and Sun Shaozong's elder brother Sun Shaozu were also called the Shuanghu of the Patrol Battalion.
Although they have only been with each other for a few days, Sun Shaozong and this generous, but not out of balance brother Hou are quite compatible.
At this time, seeing this bold man like a black iron tower, when he mentioned his old mother, he couldn't help but feel a little choked up, and he was also full of sympathy, and hurriedly clasped his fists and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Brother Hou, I will wait for you to return to Shuntian Mansion. Be sure to visit your aunt at the mansion often!"
"Then brother, thank you in advance!"
Hou Yong said, and waved his hand back. Immediately, two bowls of water and wine were served by the accompanying attendants. He first handed a bowl to Sun Shaozong, took another bowl, and sent the wine bowl forward, saying: "When It's not too early, after drinking this bowl of Zhuangxing wine, Erlang will set off on his way - come on, let's do it!"
"Dry!"
Sun Shaozong was busy and raised a bowl to welcome him.
After pouring a bowl of wine down his throat, he looked at each other and smiled with Hou Yong. He was about to leave when he saw the official road galloping towards him. Although he was dressed as a man in a blue shirt and a small hat, he opened his mouth from a distance. Ruoyingti: "Brother Sun, wait for me!"
With just this voice, Sun Shaozong could tell that it was Ruan Rong!
In my heart, I was both happy and surprised. I was happy that I could say goodbye to this little girl face to face before leaving; I was surprised that this girl was getting married today, but she still went out of the city to see him off. If I let my future husband's family know Well, it's not a good thing.
Sun Shaozong subconsciously took a few steps forward and asked, "Miss Rong, how are you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Ruan Rong swooping down from the horse, slamming into his arms regardless, and said decisively, "Brother Sun, I don't want to marry that idiot from the Pan family, I want to marry him. You go back to Da Zhou together!"
This time it really turned into haste, Sun Shaozong stared at her picturesque little face in a stunned silence, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Hahaha… "
At this time, listening to Hou Yong's hearty laugh, he stepped forward and patted Sun Shaozong on the shoulder, and said teasingly: "I don't want Erlang, you still have such skills, you really make me so envious of my brother!"
Sun Shaozong was so stiff that he didn't dare to move, he turned his head awkwardly and said with a wry smile: "Brother Hou, don't talk nonsense, Miss Rong is the daughter of the Qinglin prefect's family, and the Pan family is the minister of household of the Qianxiang country, if I am true Take her to Da Zhou, how can those two families be willing to give up?"
"What if they don't want to give up? Could it be that they still dare to chase down to Shuntian Mansion?!" Hou Yong said nonchalantly: "The girl doesn't even care about your fame for your sake. This kind of intention is comparable to pure gold, don't you think? Why don't you push her to that idiot Pan?"
As he said that, he glared at the bull's eye again, and threatened with a vicious appearance: "I can tell the ugly before, if you dare to do such a heartless thing, don't say that your brother didn't do it, I This casserole-sized fist has to reason with you!"
speechless...
This big brother Hou of my own is really a model of urgency and righteousness!
Moreover, the son of the Pan family is just crazy about books, so what kind of fool is he? !
As I said before, although Sun Shaozong has a good impression of Ruan Rong, he is still a long way from the relationship between men and women. The word 'reject'
After hesitating for a while, seeing Ruan Rong's face showing some panic, she had to sigh and asked, "Are you really going to Da Zhou with me?"
Ruan Rong nodded without hesitation, her raised face full of anticipation.
"Well!"
Sun Shaozong put a hand in front of her: "Let's high-five and swear, in the territory of Qianxiang country, you have about eight days to think clearly, as long as you feel regret, I will send you back to Qinglin Mansion without a word. - But once you set foot on the land of Dazhou, you are the woman of my Sun Shaozong, and you can't let you go back!"
Ruan Rong stared at the big hand for a while, then took a deep breath and stamped the white jade-like soft weed on it.
After making an oath, Ruan Rong breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She hurriedly broke free from Sun Shaozong's arms, blushing and stroking the hair by her ear.
"Feng Xin!"
Once Sun Shaozong made up his mind, he immediately put all his worries behind him, pointed at the white horse that Ruan Rong was riding, and instructed, "Tie it to the back of the car first, and take turns on the road."
Like Sun Shaozong, Feng Xin was also asked to return to Dazhou. The difference is that he returned to Beijing to report to the Ministry of War, while Sun Shaozong returned to Beijing for an audience - that is, he had to walk around in front of the emperor before making arrangements. the meaning of.
Feng Xin was ordered to go to Nalana White Horse.
Sun Shaozong said to Ruan Rong again, "Get in the car first. After I say goodbye to Brother Hou, we will set off."
Ruan Rong nodded obediently, but first unwrapped a package from the back of the white horse, and then said good luck to Hou Yong, and then got into the car on her own.
"Brother Hou, I..."
"Okay, stop writing ink with me!"
Seeing that Sun Shaozong was about to come over to say goodbye to him, Hou Yong waved his hand impatiently and urged, "You better hurry up on the road, if you delay any longer, the bitter master should catch up!"
Sun Shaozong could only bow his hands silently, snatched the whip of the driver from Feng Xin's hand, jumped on the carriage and shook his hand, the horse immediately raised its hooves and headed east along the official road.
Later, Feng Xinmang also turned on Sun Shaozong's black horse, followed by a rein.
From this day on, a group of three people spent the night and hurried to the border between the two countries.
eight days later.
The three finally left the territory of Qianxiang Country and officially set foot on the land of Dazhou. That evening, Ruan Rong burned incense and worshipped three times in the direction of Qinglin Mansion. When she got up, she was already crying.
