Jiaohua

Chapter 553
The only so-called love between men and women that Xia Zhaoyi has come into contact with is not from herself, it should be Tao Lan and her second brother.

Except that after Buqu Jiang was captured, Tao Lan frequently looked for her, before that, Xia Zhaoyi and Tao Lan had only met each other three times.

She didn't know Tao Lan well, and she couldn't even say a few words. Her impression of Tao Lan was only that the other party treated her very warmly.

Later, when Xia Tao's family got engaged, Xia Zhaoxue couldn't bear the marriage arranged by her family's arbitrariness. She had trouble for a long time and wrote dozens of letters asking her to return to Beijing to help persuade her.

Xia Zhaoyi thought it was a trivial matter at first, but later she realized that her second brother really disliked it to the point of vomiting in disgust, so she rushed back on horseback.

After a few days of traveling, she returned to the capital, and by coincidence, she happened to see Tao Lan and his servants "walking for justice".

Although the peddler was not kind at first, Xia Zhaoyi didn't like to abuse and bully others wantonly by taking advantage of his power and crowd, without restraint.

Tao Lan looked up to see her, she didn't want to stay longer, turned around and left.

After returning, the second brother cried loudly on the bed, and told her a lot of ideals and beliefs, a lot of life aspirations, saying that he really didn't want to have another stranger in his life, and he wanted to be intimate with her by force.

The thought of waking up from a dream in the middle of the night, turning around and finding a woman who has no sympathy lying next to him, not only disturbed his free space alone, but also made him feel like a walking dead.

Also, he didn't want to delay this girl's good marriage. If he is a husband who is unhappy seeing her everywhere and has a bad face all day long, he might as well find another lover.

Xia Zhaoxue cried for a long time without a single tear, but what he said was sincere and heartfelt, and finally moved Xia Wenshan who was called by Xia Zhaoyi in advance to eavesdrop outside the door.

Fearing that Xia Wenshan would regret it after sleeping, Xia Zhaoxue struck while the iron was hot, and tried his best to encourage Xia Wenshan to cancel the marriage immediately.

Later, Tao Lan, who was not reconciled, came to Xia's house several times to find someone.

Half of the capital knew how much Tao Lan admired Xia Zhaoxue. It was rumored from Tao Lan's so-called boudoir friends in the early years. Later, there were dozens of versions in the market. .

Now that something like this happened suddenly, there were more rumors, and the rumors became more and more intense, and they became very loud.

A few months later, Xia Zhaoyi learned in Liling that Tao Lan had quarreled with the disgruntled daughters at the Qiuyue Poetry Conference. Tao Daijiang rushed to a farm in Tangzhou for confinement.

Then, Xia Zhaoyi heard the name Tao Lan again, and Tao Lan was already in the north.

For ten years now, Tao Lan has become Mrs. Yu of Beiyuan. I heard that she gave birth to a son last year. Her husband is He Yanpo, the number one counselor beside Yi Shurong.

In Tao Lan's gossip and rumors, the most active boudoir friend was the late Pan Shangshu's eldest granddaughter, Pan Yuehua, the eldest daughter of Pan Naifeng's second brother Pan Daotang, who had died in the family's genocide. inside.

Regardless of whether there is Tao Lan or not, Beiyuan will march in a large scale, but if there is no Tao Lan, the northern border defense will not be broken so quickly, and the Pan family and Xia family in the capital will not be distorted by Li Ju's hatred. Out of anger and destroyed.

Everything started because of the love between men and women.

Xia Zhaoyi raised her eyes and looked at the moonlight. After the conscripts are over tomorrow, the nomadic life she agreed with her master will come to an end. After four years, with a gap of three full years, she finally came to Linning, but she didn't know her Waiting for that person will not appear.

And, Liling Shanshui, I miss it very much.

·
The next morning, Xia Zhaoyi left early as usual.

Zhili, who had been slacking off for a few days, heard the movement and came out to tell her to wait a while. He went back to the room and cleaned up quickly, and left with Xia Zhaoyi.

The two seniors, sisters and younger brothers were dressed in bunts, with sandbags wrapped around their legs, and ran along the bank of the stream to Taolin Mountain.

Bajiang Lake at the foot of Taolin Mountain has a water conservancy project that was completed less than five years ago. It was originally proposed by Yu Shiling's confidant Zhang Xianbao to Xuanyan Emperor Li Ju, and a lot of manpower was invested in it. This area of ​​water conservancy, which cost a lot of money, belongs to Song Zhiyi.

Later, Li Jushang had no time to get angry because of this incident, so Zhang Xianbao left the house by himself late at night and jumped into the lake.

Now this area of ​​water conservancy has really helped Song Zhiyi a lot. It can not only improve the annual flood disaster, but also be irrigated by diverting canals, pouring out tens of thousands of mu of fertile land in Anjiang, guaranteeing absolute logistical strength.

Therefore, Song Zhiyi's conscription control in this place is not as strict as other places, because a lot of labor is needed to cultivate here.

Up to Taolin Mountain, Xia Zhaoyi and Zhili rested near a gazebo.

If you bow your head here, you can have a panoramic view of the eight rivers and lakes.

A gust of wind blows and the fragrance of flowers fills the ground. Xia Zhaoyi retracts her gaze and turns to look at an unnamed deserted tomb a hundred steps southwest of the pavilion. The reason why she came to Ning and lived by the Bajiang Lake is precisely because of this deserted tomb. .

Except for violent storms, she would come here almost every day, and the deserted tomb was the same every day, and no one visited.

But Master said, that person will come here every year before Qingming, unless he dies.

Zhili raised his hand to cover his brow bone, looked at the rural road in the distance, and said, "Linning is so beautiful this spring!"

"Yes." Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Hey, the right time, place and people are all taken by Song Zhiyi. In the future, this great river and mountain may be taken by Song Zhiyi."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled.

"However, Song Zhiyi will deal with the Guo family." Zhili turned his head and looked at Xia Zhaoyi, "When he raised his army back then, he invited Guo Shu several times, but Zuilu ignored him. I heard that there was a deep grudge. If Song Zhiyi really targeted him , the life of the Guo family will definitely be very difficult, and Shen Lie will also be affected."

"Could Song Zhiyi's mind be that small?" Xia Zhaoyi laughed.

"Who knows, maybe it will. I have invited someone several times, but I have been rejected, and I don't know where to put my face."

"Song Zhiyi is fighting the country, not born with the country, or going to fight the country with his brothers, generally relying on his own hands to fight the country, their thick skins are superior to others."

"That's on the bright side, I don't know how to hold grudges in my heart." Zhi Li said.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, but did not speak.

Going down the mountain to the other side, they met a few men who escaped from military service and hid on the mountain. Xia Zhaoyi and Zhili deliberately avoided them, pretending they didn't see them, so as to save the other party from worrying.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhili discussed the route back to Liling. A fishing boat stopped by the lake in front, and a tall man came ashore with a big sword on his back.

The big sword was too conspicuous, Zhili looked up a few times.

The man also noticed the people on this side, looked back, and saw two handsome young men, he looked away, turned and left.

But after walking a few steps, he thought for a while, then turned around and stood there watching Zhili and Xia Zhaoyi pass by.
