Jinyi Night Walk

Song Sheng sat on the horse in a daze, and before he could react, the young general in the unicorn robe on the opposite side walked up to him, smiled and cupped his hands at him, and said, "But General Song Sheng?"

"Ah! It's the old man..."

Seeing the general bowing to him, Song Sheng didn't even think that this person was Fu Guogong. He just thought: "The emperor's third daughter married Gan Liang far away, so she must be accompanied by the emperor's relatives or military officers, but I don't know who this is. A royal family member or a governor, the youngest son is really a jerk, if you are asked to greet the relatives, all the dignitaries and dignitaries will follow you, but you sent a letter back in advance, which made me so embarrassed .”

Song Sheng pondered, then cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what's next..."

Xia Xun smiled and said, "My servant, Yang Xu, has long admired the name of old general Song. It is a great fortune to see you today!"

"oops!"

When Song Sheng heard that he was indeed Duke Fu, he immediately turned pale in shock, and quickly rolled off his horse, hurried forward to see him as a military salute, cupped his fists and said, "The last general, Song Sheng, has met Duke Fu. The last general does not know that the Duke is in person. Disrespectful, please don't..."

How could Xia Xun allow him to bow down, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said in a gentle voice: "Old general, don't be polite. The old general has guarded Xiliang for more than [-] years, and his prestige is in Jueyu. Wenzhiwugong, Yang Xu is extremely admired, and it is Yang Xu's honor to meet and work with the old general today! Yang Xu is paying homage to his predecessors, he is a hero, and the old general deserves it!"

Seeing his sincerity in his words and no pretense, Song Sheng couldn't help feeling very happy.The bridal sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the majestic Duke of the state could treat him with such respect and courtesy, and in front of so many officials and subordinates, what a shame it was!

Song Sheng laughed loudly, tightly grasped Xia Xun's hands with one big hand, shook them vigorously, turned his head and saw his second son and a group of generals still riding on the horses in a daze, and couldn't help shouting: "The old man is blind, you also follow the old man!" Is the same look in the eyes? Why haven't you got off the horse and seen the Duke?"

It was Song Sheng's shout that woke up the generals, and quickly got off their horses one by one, and rushed forward one after another!

Song Sheng is a wise general and a fierce general, with both wisdom and bravery, and he is both gentle and martial.In order to govern Xiliang, one cannot govern the Western Regions if one only knows martial arts but is not good at writing, nor can one be gentle without martial arts. People who only have stubborn bones all their lives cannot govern the Western Regions. .

At the same time, he has guarded the Western Regions for more than 20 years, and has never moved anywhere. With his current power and prestige in the Western Regions, as long as he raises his arms, it is enough to establish self-government and establish an independent kingdom. Lord, he has always trusted him, and never thought of transferring him to another place. Even Song Sheng asked to step down and return to the court several times, but Zhu Di still did not allow it.

Facing the sinister environment of the Western Regions and the intricate factions, he needs both wisdom and courage; he is even more brilliant in the officialdom.If it wasn't so, when Song Sheng arrived in Xiliang back then, if he didn't manage the place well, he would have followed in the footsteps of his previous nine commanders; backed away.

Song Sheng has been able to guard the Western Regions for more than 20 years, and he has achieved such great achievements. He is an official of the frontier with extremely brilliant political and military skills.

Insight into world affairs is knowledge, and human feelings are learned.

Song Sheng has done a great job in this big article about the sophistication of the world.

Xia Xun's actions today immediately won Song Sheng's favor.With his sharp eyes, it was natural to see that Xia Xun's words were sincere, not to mention that with Xia Xun's current status, there was no need to flatter him at all.

This is the case with people. Some people have been together for a lifetime, but they are cold and hard to get along with. Some people meet for the first time, and after a few words, they feel that they are very congenial. Song Sheng and Xia Xun are like this: they hit it off.

The two chatted with each other for a while, then boarded their horses, and returned to the city under the escort of the generals. Under the bitter cold wind, the soldiers in full armor stood silently, and countless fluttering flags fluttered in the wind. As soon as one moves, the cavalry is greeted, the cavalry is escorted, the cavalry is accompanied..., each phalanx is orderly, coming and going slowly, the formation changes, its momentum is like a mountain, and the military power is shocking.

Xia Xun's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help praising: "Old general, this is the Ganliang Jingqi, who is powerful in the Western Regions?"

Song Sheng was also very proud of the elite cavalry he had carefully built. He stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Exactly, the duke came here this time with elite soldiers from the royal forest. I'm afraid the general will not bring out the best soldiers." Let the Duke be disappointed!"

Song Sheng said, and glanced at Xia Xun's [-] elite cavalry behind Xia Xun's ceremonial guard with a smile. ..., all kinds of weapons are available, the armor is distinctive, the saddle is neat, and the army is very majestic.

With Song Sheng's eyesight of leading soldiers for many years, he just took a quick glance at them. From the subtle changes in the hands, feet, limbs, and faces of this team in the cold wind, and from whether they coordinated with each other smoothly before marching, their combat effectiveness can be determined. It is estimated that mo is close to ten, and he appreciates this team very much.

Xia Xun laughed, and said, "These [-] elite cavalry are one of the elite of the Beijing camp, and most of them have fought in battle. However, the terrain and geography of the Western Region, the climate of the four seasons, and the combat characteristics of the soldiers are different from those in the Northern Xinjiang. You still need to practice more here to become a master!"

Song Sheng said: "Your Majesty is too modest! It took more than [-] years for these tens of thousands of elite riders to gather excellent bow and shoot warriors from all ethnic groups. They have been tempered and honed, and today is what they are today. These [-] elite soldiers In the selection of the best, the personal combat power is naturally not bad, but now seeing how they march and cooperate very tacitly, the movement and movement are integrated, the movement is like a mountain, and the movement is like a forest, the king's ability to lead troops can be seen."

Xia Xun thought in his heart: "If it weren't for this journey, using various methods to train them, I'm afraid you Song Houye wouldn't say that."

Xia Xun said with a smile: "Old general, don't take every duke one by one. Yang Xu's name is Wenxuan, and the old general can call me Wenxuan. Otherwise, you can call me one by one from the old general, but Yang Xu can't." Terrified!"

After hearing this, Song Sheng said happily: "If that's the case, then the old man won't be courteous to you. Haha, Wenxuan, the old man became in-laws with the emperor today, welcomed Princess Ancheng through the door, and became my daughter-in-law of the Song family. Wenxuan's Madam is the younger sister of the current empress. In this way, the two of us are also relatives, and we should be friends of the same generation. You don't want to talk about an old general. I call you Wenxuan, and you call me big brother. family!"

Xia Xun was overjoyed. He really wanted to make friends with such a true hero, so he followed suit and immediately shouted, "Brother!"

Song Sheng threw his beard and laughed, and when they arrived at Xininghou's mansion, the two of them had talked about everything like old friends for many years.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The Marquis of Xining had already made preparations for the wedding.

The whole mansion is covered in red and colorful, and the sky is full of blowing and beating gongs and drums.

Before the princess's guard of honor arrived at the city, it also stopped to redecorate. The various colored silks that had been prepared long ago were also tied to the car and horse neck, and the princess's dowry staff also put on new clothes and hats. .

The first thing Xia Xun did when he entered the city was to drink the wedding wine first.

Song Houye's second son is now the de facto eldest son of the big wedding. Not only all the generals who can come from each pass and guard come, but those who can't come are also given generous gifts. Even the heads and chieftains of Fan, Meng, Hui, Qiang and other ethnic groups also came to congratulate.

The happy event was very lively. The wedding of Princess Ancheng added a touch of spring to this cool winter day.

The newly built Prince Consort's Mansion is next to Xining Hou's Mansion. The two mansions are connected by an arch in the middle. After the wedding here, they are directly sent to the bridal chamber over there.

As Xia Xun's goddaughter, Tang Sai'er, the little girl, was also fortunate to attend the wedding. As soon as she returned to the residence that Hou Songsheng arranged for them in Xining, Tang Sai'er said enthusiastically, "The bride is so beautiful!"

Xia Xun couldn't help laughing and said, "The bride has a hijab on her head, and you've never seen it before, so how do you know if she's pretty?"

Tang Sai'er pursed her lips and said, "The red dress is beautiful! There is also a golden phoenix embroidered on the dress. When someone supports her to walk around, it seems like a cloud of fire is floating!"

On the side, Xilin and Rangna, two blond and blue-eyed Kucha beauties who were in love with the scene, glanced at Xia Xun resentfully with their big charming eyes.Naturally, they don't dare to hope that one day they will be able to get married with phoenix crowns and xiapei, but they also hope that the bridal chamber will be accompanied by a red candle and a gentleman!

They are Le Ji from the inner house of Duke Fu's mansion, but in fact, their nature is the property owned by Duke Fu, and even if they marry, they can't help themselves.According to the rules of ordinary rich families, their future prospects are either to be confiscated by the master and sold to others, or to be a Legie in the mansion until they grow old. No matter how much they like to use them as decorations, if they are willing to show kindness, they will be given a severance package, and they will be asked to leave the house, marry or join the club, it is up to them.

Among the various choices, they certainly hope to get the first result.The eldest lady's servant girl, Qiaoyun, has now been taken over by the master. Although her status and treatment are not as good as those of Zi Qi and Xie Xie, and not as good as Su Ying and Xiaodi's concubine ladies, she is the master's woman after all, and she has her own. In a separate courtyard residence, two maids have been allocated time to manage part of the family's property. The monthly salary is twice as high as that of the maids in the inner house. If there are children in the future, the treatment will be even higher. upstairs.

well!Who said that she is Mrs. Ming's personal girl, she is luckier than them if she is close to the water tower!The two girls are already familiar with each other, but they can't be picked and tasted. The lonely spring girl is helpless. Now the music they play is less cheerful and bright than the girls in the past, but a little bit more. It's lingering.

This time, they were brought out by name by the Duke of the State, and Mrs. Ming made another confession. The two girls were looking forward to this journey, but it is a pity that the Duke of the State has not favored them. Maybe there were many inconveniences in the military account along the way, but now it is over. Arriving in Gansu Town, they have officially settled down. The two girls were worried about gains and losses, and they glanced at Xia Xun with some resentment in their eyes. Maybe... there is still a little hunger and thirst...

Will the National Council call me to bed tonight?

: It's the end of the month, it's time!Sirin and Jeanna have long glanced at you with resentful eyes: "My friend, why don't you come to pamper him?" Ro! .
