Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 297 Qi Heng marries Shen

Yuan Wenshao originally thought that Liang Han would come forward, so he would be done with it after delaying it for a while.

Who knew that Liang Han was so incompetent that he was scolded back in a few words.

In desperation, Yuan Wenshao could only stand up.

"General Xiao Duan's words are wrong. You are a pioneer. If you have to be told everything, it will be strange if you can win the battle. We are also separated from the Wanyan family, with Beiliao in the middle. Can you meet it?"

The current Wanyan family still belongs to the Jurchen family of Bei Liao. Although it has begun to slowly become noisy and Bei Liao can no longer control it, it has no direct contact with Dazhou at all.

If they really encountered the Wanyan tribe, either the Zhou Dynasty would destroy the Liao Kingdom, or the Wanyan tribe would destroy the Liao Kingdom.

In addition, there is another possibility, that is, the Jurchens returned to the Liao Kingdom again.

However, this situation is basically impossible. After the Jurchens surrendered to the Liao Kingdom, they were scattered and moved by the Liao Kingdom and distributed to various places.

When the Jurchens were no longer a threat, they began to exploit the Jurchens.

In the Liao Kingdom, the status of the Jurchens was even much lower than that of the Han people.

After many years of dormancy, the Jurchens finally gained a certain strength. How could the Jurchens who had suffered losses return to the Liao Kingdom again?

Therefore, with the Liao Kingdom separating them, there was no chance to face the Jurchens.

"I..." General Xiao Duan was speechless by Yuan Wenshao's rebuke.

Indeed, in addition to opening the way, pioneers are also responsible for inquiring about information.

The question he asked before was indeed not consistent with the status of a pioneer officer.

They were all from Qiandi, Yuzhou. Seeing General Xiao Duan being questioned by Yuan Wenshao, the others were a little unhappy.

Geng Jiechuan took two steps forward and said, "What Marquis Zhongyong said is wrong. Since it is Liang Liulang who raised the question, we must ask clearly. Otherwise, if General Xiao Duan tells us the response plan, Liang Liulang will find other reasons to refute. What should we do?" "

"hehe."

Yuan Wenshao chuckled lightly, not looking at Gu Tingye who was winking at him, and said calmly: "As a military general, we have enemies all over the world. Don't you know where is the plain and where is the mountain? Which enemy is the plain facing? The cavalry of the enemy's army. Do you need to ask about the proportion of infantry?"

The people watching around nodded.

Yuan Wenshao said it very clearly, even those who are not familiar with military affairs can understand it.

Seriously, the enemies Da Zhou faced only had three directions.

Southern Xinjiang is bordered by northern and northwest areas, while southern Xinjiang and the northwest are mostly mountains and forests, with few plains.

And Liang Liulang was talking about meeting in the plains, and there was only one in the north.

Since we are on the border, it is naturally the Liao Kingdom.

The Zhou Dynasty lacked horses, but the Liao Kingdom did not. This kind of army of ten thousand people was basically equipped with all cavalry.

It can be said that what General Xiao Duan asked before was all nonsense.

Now Geng Jiechuan didn't know how to refute, and his face looked very ugly.

The faces of those people in Yuzhou were also very ugly.

They had come with Gu Tingye to welcome the bride. If they were defeated by Yuan Wenshao alone, or it was a military issue, they would be completely embarrassed.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Gu Tingye knew he had to stand up.

After all, it is a big day. If the atmosphere becomes tense, it will not look good on his face.

Although what Yuan Wenshao said is reasonable, it is actually just sophistry.

They were talking on paper, but Yuan Wenshao was talking about the actual situation, which has its own problems.

This is like many mathematical problems in later generations. While storing water and releasing water at the same time, asking how long it will take to fill the pool.

Such a question itself is not logical, but the question itself is just to test calculations.

In the same way, Liang Han's questions can be based on reality, or they can be applied to some events in history, or even fictionalized.

However, just as he was about to make a move, Yuan Wenshao retreated.

Yuan Wenshao just wanted to delay time at first, but later he saw Geng Jiechuan coming out and deliberately made him angry before saying a few more words.

But he didn't really want to mess up the wedding. It was enough to attack Geng Jiechuan.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Sheng Changbai quickly stood up and said loudly: "On this happy day, it is unlucky to mention these things about fighting and killing. Let's change the topic. In this case, Erlang has outstanding literary talent, so why not write a poem to remind the audience."

"Yes, yes, write poetry. If you don't do it well, you won't get in."

Everyone started to boo after hearing this.

Gu Tingye smiled and said: "It's not difficult to dress up. What's difficult is that our sixth girl refuses to go out."

With his literary talent, writing poetry is not a problem for him.

Moreover, it is necessary to compose a poem to encourage marriage, and Gu Tingye has already prepared it.

"The golden chariot is about to ride up to the east wind, and the clouds are cleared to see the drunken sky. I am alone in my celestial body, half vomiting in shame, and the ice porcelain dew is white and reddish."

Under the cheers of everyone, Gu Tingye composed a poem to encourage makeup.

Although this poem is not a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, it is still a masterpiece for the occasion. Of course, everyone is applauding, especially the Gu family's welcoming team, who are naturally booing one by one.

The Sheng family still wanted to embarrass themselves. Uncle Shen Guo winked at a few people, and the people who were welcoming the bride just threw money away, causing the onlookers to rob. Then a swarm of swarms came forward, stopped the people blocking the door of the Sheng family, and rushed in while protecting Gu Tingye.

……

There was a lot of excitement here in the Sheng family, when their daughter was getting married.

In the inner city, a house in Wen Lane, not far from Gonghou Street, is also very lively.

Although the location of Wenxiang is not as good as Gonghou Street, it is not like Gonghou Street where all the Dukes and Lords of the country live.

However, the people living in Wenxiang were all high-ranking nobles in the court, and they had high prestige among the scholars.

Like Sheng Changbai's Yue family, today's husband Hai Wenyuan's family lives in Wenxiang.

In addition, there is also a minister in the court, Mr. Shen, who also lives here.

Although the Shen family is not as talented as the Hai family, but in a sense, the Shen family is more noble than the Hai family.

The rise of the Hai family is actually the last two generations. Although they are said to have been passed down from generation to generation, the ancestors of the Hai family did not hold high official positions.

But the Shen family was different. The ancestors of the Shen family were already in high positions when the country was founded. Generations of descendants had people serving as officials, with the lowest being a rank-and-file minister.

There are five Hanlin schools in the Hai family, but the highest person in the Hanlin Academy is only a fifth-grade Hanlin bachelor.

It sounds like they are just noble, but the Shen family has held high positions of power from generation to generation.

Today's Xianggong Shen is even more extraordinary. Before Emperor Renzong succeeded to the throne, he had already entered the court as an official.

Now that he has been a husband for nearly twenty years, even Han Zhang, the senior husband, has to salute and call him "old husband" when he meets him.

During the reform that year, Xianggong Shen publicly supported Xianggong Li.

After the failure of the New Deal, all those who supported the reform were demoted. Only Shen Xianggong was not implicated in the slightest.

The status of the Shen family is evident.

As the top wealthy family in Bianjing, the Shen family is very low-key.

In addition, now that Mr. Shen is about to retire, he did not participate in the previous dispute between the emperor and the empress.

On this day, the Sheng family was getting married, and the Shen family was also very lively.

Because today is the day when Shen Xianggong's direct granddaughter will marry the young prince of the Duke of Qi.

Young Master Qi was the secret lover of many famous ladies back then.

When the head of Jiacheng County and Rong Feiyan were jealous over Qi Heng, the news spread throughout Bianjing.

Although he has become a widower now, the Duke of Qi's palace does not have the honors and favors of the past. However, no matter how destitute the Duke of Qi's palace is, it is still a Duke's palace, and the title is there. What's more, Qi Heng's return to the gold medal list is the first in this lord's family.

These days, not many people care about men in this regard, so Qi Heng is still one of the best matches for Bianjing's dignitaries.

In fact, the two families had only been engaged for two or three months, and they got married in a hurry for some reason.

There is still a huge gap between the Sheng family and the Shen family. Today, the Shen family has four out of six ministers, and its glory is endless.

Qi Heng rode a tall horse, followed by a sedan chair and a long welcoming procession, all the way to Shen's house.

There were naturally people blocking the door of Shen's house.

Getting married is a very festive event, and all the guests are smiling.

But Qi Heng kept a straight face and expressionless from beginning to end.

When the Shen family blocked the door, he still stood behind without any expression, letting the people accompanying him deal with it, as if he were a spectator.

"Why do you think this young master has such a straight face and no smile at all?"

"Maybe I don't like to laugh normally."

"Even if you don't like to laugh, you should always smile on a big day, right? Just looking at his face, I would have thought he was attending an extravagance."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. I heard that when the young master married the head of Jiacheng County, he kept a straight face the whole time."

"What do you know? I heard someone say that at that time, Young Master Qi was unwilling to marry the head of Jiacheng County. It was King Yong who put Duke Qi under house arrest and forced him to marry. Naturally, he didn't look good."

"Is there still such a thing?"

"No, I've seen Mr. Qi smiling a lot in the past. I guess he was unwilling to get married this time."

"How is this possible? No matter how good his family background is, the Shen family is not bad. What's more, he is still a widower, why wouldn't he want to."

"I heard that Young Master Qi studied in the Sheng family before and he has some interest in the sixth girl of the Sheng family."

"When you said that, I suddenly remembered that today is also the day when Ning Yuanhou's younger brother got married, and it seems that he married the sixth girl of the Sheng family. These two families got married on the same day. Do you think this was intentional by the young master?"

"Isn't this...impossible?"

"I think it's very possible."

……

Because of Qi Heng's expression, the onlookers started talking about anything.

There was a maid among the crowd blocking the door. When she heard these comments, she stamped her feet angrily.

I wanted to scold those people, but I was afraid of making things worse, so I could only walk angrily into the yard.

The maid trotted all the way to a courtyard, and almost bumped into a maid when she entered the door.

"Huamei, are you back? The girl has asked me several times and asked me to look for you."

"I know, I'll go in right away."

Huamei said something and hurried into the house.

In the room, a woman wearing a green wedding robe was sitting in front of the dressing table. Several maids were putting jewelry on her head under the command of an old woman.

When the old lady saw Huamei coming in, she said angrily: "The girl asked you to go and see what my uncle looks like. Why have you been there for so long?"

"Mother Lu, don't talk about thrush for now. There are people everywhere in the house today. It's normal to stay there for a long time." The woman in front of the mirror said softly.

This woman is Shen Hezhen, the direct granddaughter of Shen Xianggong, who is about to marry Qi Heng.

"Girl, just please spoil her. I heard that Princess Pingning has very strict rules. When we go to the Duke of Qi's Mansion, she will have to suffer for her frizzy look. It doesn't matter if she suffers a little, don't let the time come. As a result, the girl was lectured by her mother-in-law." Mother Lu said.

"Okay, Mother Lu, I'm a little thirsty. Please ask someone to bring me some tea." Shen Hezhen said.

"Oh, my girl, didn't I tell you that you have to sit in the sedan chair for a long time after leaving the house? You won't have a chance to do it until you finish the ceremony at dusk. You drink so much water, you won't be able to What should I do if it’s convenient?” Mother Lu said.

"But I'm thirsty," Shen Hezhen said.

"Girl, please drink less." Mother Lu had no choice but to tell a maid to prepare.

"Huamei, have you met Young Master Qi? Bian Jingdu said that Young Master Qi is not only handsome, but also very kind to others. More importantly, he is very talented and learned." Mother Lu asked.

She knew that Shen Hezhen was too shy to speak, so she asked directly.

"Young Master Qi is indeed very handsome, but..."

Huamei wanted to tell Shen and Zhen what she heard, but she hesitated.

Shen Hezhen asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Huamei shook his head repeatedly.

Saying it now will only cause trouble for Shen and Zhen and has no meaning at all.

Shen Hezhen knew Huamei's temperament. Seeing her hesitation, Shen Hezhen frowned and said, "Is there anything else?"

Huamei had no choice but to tell what he heard.

After hearing this, Mother Lu said angrily: "How can anyone get married with a straight face?"

Shen Hezhen looked expressionless after hearing this. After hearing what Lu's mother said, she smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Mother Lu. Those were all things in the past. I am marrying him now. I don't care about the past."

"But he had a straight face when he got married today. I don't know what others will say when he looks back." Mother Lu said.

"Okay." Shen Hezhen said indifferently: "No matter how cold-hearted he is, I can always warm him up if I treat him sincerely."

"Can…"

"Mother Lu, stop talking." Shen Hezhen said in a serious tone.

Mother Lu sighed inwardly when she heard this and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

……

Moriya

Minglan bid farewell to Mrs. Sheng with tears in her eyes. She held a fan in one hand to cover her face and held a red satin in the other as she walked out side by side with Gu Tingye.

All the way to the door of Sheng's house, Gu Tingye got on the sedan chair, saluted the person who was seeing off his bride, and got on the horse.

This time, Sheng Wei from Dafang took the lead in seeing off the bride, accompanied by Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changwu.

Yuan Wenshao watched the wedding team leave, then turned back to entertain the guests.

The wedding team cannot go back, the route has been arranged long ago.

According to the route, you need to visit most of Bianjing City, and the speed should not be too fast.

Although Minglan was a concubine, she married Gu Tingye, and the Sheng family was not too shabby. Although the dowry was not as good as when Hua Lan got married, it was not much different.

The wedding procession plus the dowry procession stretched for several miles and were very impressive, attracting many people to watch.

About an hour before dusk, the team entered the inner city.

As they were walking, a wedding team suddenly appeared in front of them and passed by.

Gu Tingye was stunned and said, "Which team is this?"

"Sir, you have forgotten that Young Master Qi is also getting married today." The stone on the side reminded.

"Yuanruo?" Gu Tingye asked strangely: "Didn't you ask about the route?"

Qi Heng didn't send him a message when he got his wife, but he must know about such a big thing.

Generally speaking, if a wealthy family is planning to get married, they will communicate the route in advance to avoid congestion due to the same route.

Qi Heng's original route was not going this way, so why would he suddenly come this way.

"Maybe it was a detour." Shitou scratched his head and said.
