Soldiers come to the world

On the bright and vast river, a mighty fleet is covered with sails. The sails bulge with the east wind, and the fleet cuts through the waves and sails westward with great momentum.

On the leading ship, Sun Shangxiang stood at the bow, staring blankly at the undulating waves on the river, his eyes were confused, full of the melancholy of parting from his hometown.

The river wind blows her skirt, and the hair on her forehead flutters with the wind. She is a new wife. Although the joy of the wedding makes her very intoxicated, the nostalgia of parting makes her feel a little depressed all the time.

"Madam, let's go back to the cabin! It's very windy on the deck." Xiaocui, the personal maid, walked behind her and whispered.

"I've told you, why do you still call me Madam?"

Sun Shangxiang turned her head and looked at the maid dissatisfied, Xiaocui lowered her head, saluted, and said reluctantly: "Second Madam, I will remember this."

Sun Shangxiang sighed, "I know you don't want to call me the second lady, and I don't want to, but some things have to be done according to the rules. If the rules are like this, we can only accept the reality."

Xiaocui nodded silently, "I understand."

"There are other maidservants, you have to tell them the correct address, don't let Jingzhou people think that we Jiangdong are bullying people, I don't want to cause trouble, you know?" [

"The servant knows."

Sun Shangxiang turned around and walked towards the boat ladder. Halfway there, she turned back and asked, "Where did the general go?"

"The general seems to be on the third floor."

Sun Shangxiang was taken aback, the third floor was where her dowry items were kept, what was he going to do on the third floor?She also held on to the boat ladder and walked quickly to the third floor

Sun Shangxiang’s various dowry items are piled up on the third floor of the building, but there are only a small part of them here. Most of the items, such as thousands of bundles of silk, high-quality furniture, tableware, and various daily necessities, etc., are in another ship. on board.

In a large cabin, ten large nanmu boxes were piled up in the east corner, which contained the jewelry Mrs. Wu gave her daughter and various clothes of Sun Shangxiang, while the cabin was full of wooden boxes of all sizes. , there are more than 300 pieces, and these are Sun Shangxiang's treasures. She has collected various weapons for nearly ten years.

Standing in front of a table, Liu Jing was carefully pulling out a sword from the scabbard. This is a high-quality sword made by famous Wu Yue craftsmen. It is simple in shape, fine in steel, and extremely sharp. Since ancient times, swordsmiths have come out of Wuyue.

"Do you like this sword very much?"

Sun Shangxiang came up slowly from behind, with a smug smile on her face, she was very happy that Liu Jing could appreciate her collection.

Liu Jing nodded, turned around and said with a smile: "It's amazing, you, a woman, have collected so many high-quality weapons."

"You mean I shouldn't collect these weapons because I'm a woman?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Liu Jing with a half-smile.

"I didn't mean that." Liu Jing looked at her with a smile, "I just want to say that this is the first time I've seen a woman collect weapons, but it's very interesting and I like it very much."

"That's pretty much it!"

A smile appeared on Sun Shangxiang's face. Although her body was given to Liu Jing, her heart was not like other women. Since then, she has become a vassal of her husband, and she still maintains a kind of self.

She looked at the various weapons in the cabin, and smiled again: "You are the second man who sees my collection. I didn't want you to see it, but thinking about it, you seem to be my husband, so I will take this right." I gave it to you, but you are only allowed to look at it, and you are not allowed to steal it, and if there is anything else, I will ask you to settle the score!" [

"Oh! Then who is the first man?" Liu Jing also asked with great interest.

Sun Shangxiang blushed. This guy obviously had something to say, and he purposely made fun of herself. She pretended to be angry, her face darkened, she turned around and left, Liu Jing grabbed her arm, pulled her in front of her, and asked in a low voice. : "Just kidding with you, are you angry?"

Sun Shangxiang drove him away, turned his back, and said with a calm face: "Don't talk nonsense from now on, the first man I mentioned was my elder brother. In fact, he gave me half of the weapons here, and I collected them. He has never seen the other half of the collection, so you are the first man to see my collection."

Liu Jing nodded, "I also have some weapons in my collection. If you like them, I will give them to you."

Sun Shangxiang's eyes lit up, she turned around abruptly, put her arms around Liu Jing's neck, said with a smile like a flower, "Is what you said true, don't lie to me!"

Liu Jing blinked, "What did I say? Why can't I remember."

"You are really annoying!"

Sun Shangxiang smiled and beat his chest with a powder fist, "Since you said it, you can't play tricks."

Liu Jing laughed loudly, hugged her waist tightly, kissed her red lips and said with a smile: "You are my little wife, how could you lie to me? But you have to promise me one condition."

Sun Shangxiang suddenly felt the change in his body, and her face flushed immediately, "It's daytime, no! I promise you at night."

"Then forgive you first!"

Liu Jing let her go, picked up a sword from the table, and asked with a smile, "Why is this sword in your hand?"

"This is the Qingyue Sword. It is my favorite saber. I got it from my second brother. Is there anything wrong with this sword?" Sun Shangxiang took the sword from his hand and looked it over carefully, feeling a little strange asked.

"This sword was actually given to your second brother by me as a gift for the alliance between the two parties. I am very surprised, why is it in your hands?"

Sun Shangxiang was stunned, she remembered that she closed her eyes and pointed at it, and it turned out to be the sword Liu Jing gave to her second brother, "Is this God's will? ' She thought to herself, 'I am destined to marry him! '

Sun Shangxiang glanced at Liu Jing with beautiful eyes, and a mischievous idea came to her mind. She suddenly drew out her sword, pressed it against Liu Jing's chest, and said through gritted teeth, "If you don't mention this sword, I forgot it. When you captured me, You almost strangled me to death, today I want to take revenge, and I will stab your chest with a sword."

But Liu Jing stroked her neck gently, and said softly: "Many years ago, I used a dagger to hold a little girl's neck and took her hostage. I have always been sorry for this incident, Worried that she would lose her appearance, worried that her heart would be hurt, Shang Xiang, did you ever think at that time that one day I would be your husband?"

Sun Shangxiang stared at Liu Jing, her eyes gradually turned red, she let go of her hand, Qingyue Sword clattered! When she landed, she threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist and wept softly.

"Silly girl, why are you crying?" Liu Jing gently stroked her hair and smiled.

"I am happy!"

Sun Shangxiang whispered with red eyes: "Although I don't want to admit it, I know in my heart that I finally married someone I really like."

The fleet returning from Jiangdong finally arrived at Xiangyang City slowly. On the Xiangyang pier, Tao Zhan had been waiting for a long time surrounded by a dozen female guards and a group of servants.

Although according to the rules of etiquette, Sun Shangxiang should go to the mansion to meet her instead of her taking the initiative to meet her, but Tao Zhan knew in his heart that some things can be solved not only by rules, but also by friendship.

She lowered her posture and came to the pier to greet her. This is her friendship. If Sun Shangxiang can appreciate it, then they will get along very happily in the future.

Of course, if Sun Shangxiang puts on a superior posture and thinks that she should come to the pier to greet her, then she, Tao Zhan, will also maintain her dignity when necessary.

So Tao Zhan felt a little nervous. She really hoped that Sun Shangxiang could accept her friendship, but she heard many people say that Princess Shangxiang was always capricious and coquettish, doing whatever she wanted, and difficult to deal with. Tao Zhan remembered Princess Shangxiang's hunger strike last time His stubbornness cast a shadow over Tao Zhan's heart.

"Ma'am, that's the boat!" A maid shouted, pointing at a huge boat.

Tao Zhan nodded, she had already seen that the newcomer should be on the big boat, watching the big boat slowly approaching the shore, Tao Zhan smiled at the servants: "Let's go to meet the second lady!"

She led a group of servants to greet her quickly. At this time, Liu Jing's boat was docked. Liu Jing appeared on the side of the boat with Sun Shangxiang. He glanced at Tao Zhan, and couldn't help being slightly startled. ?

Although he sent someone to notify the mansion in advance, he did not expect Tao Zhan to come to greet him at the pier in person, which made him very relieved and moved. For him, family harmony is the most important thing.

Liu Jing immediately smiled at Sun Shangxiang: "See, that lady in the purple dress is your elder sister Tao."

Sun Shangxiang nodded silently. She saw it too. It was not the first time she saw Tao Zhan. When she was captured last time, Tao Zhan visited her and left a deep impression on her. In her heart, Tao Zhan She is a kind lady who is considerate and has the demeanor of a big sister. She has left a good memory for her.

But could that be just her superficial disguise, could the real Tao Zhan be a very mean, strict and well-behaved Mrs. State Shepherd?

Sun Shangxiang was also very worried, but Tao Zhan was willing to come to the pier to meet her in person, which made Sun Shangxiang feel a little warmer, at least she didn't coldly reject her thousands of miles away.

After the boat ladder was erected, Liu Jing smiled and said, "Let's go!"

Sun Shangxiang slightly pulled up her long skirt and stepped onto the boat ladder. At this moment, she mustered up her courage and walked towards Tao Zhan who was under the boat.

Tao Zhan smiled. She found that the long skirt on Sun Shangxiang was the one she gave her, "What a caring woman!" ' Tao Zhan secretly praised in his heart.

From this detail, she discovered that Sun Shangxiang also has a thoughtful and delicate side, not like the wild girl in the legend who is hot-tempered and always stabs people with a sword.

Tao Zhan went up to greet her, and the two women met in front of the boat ladder. Sun Shangxiang was a little nervous, her face was flushed, and she saluted gracefully, "Ah Ren, see you big sister!"

Sun Shangxiang’s real name is Sun Ren, but everyone in her family calls her Shangxiang. Out of a kind of respect, she calls herself by her real name. Tao Zhan sees that her face is flushed, and her eyes are still a little shy and nervous. She has no worries at all. The kind of arrogance or arrogance in her heart dissipated immediately, and she fell in love with Sun Shangxiang immediately.

Tao Zhan took her hand and said with a smile: "I'll call you Shang Xiang! I've been waiting for you, how is it? Is the journey going smoothly?"

Sun Shangxiang nodded, "It's still going well, I kept my eldest sister waiting for a long time."

"In fact, I only waited for a while. Bao Niang wanted to come, but she is seven months pregnant, so I won't let her move. The house is packed. I will buy wine for you tonight. You are welcome to be ours." part of the family."

Sun Shangxiang was very moved. She bit her lip, controlled her emotions, and said with a smile: "Sister, I brought you a gift, I'll go get it for you!"

Tao Zhan laughed, "We'll talk about the gift later, let's go home first, and then we'll chat slowly when we get home."

Speaking of this, Tao Zhan glanced back at Liu Jing, and asked with a smile: "Is this general going with me, or is the official business the most important thing, and go to the government office to have a look first?"

Liu Jing saw Dong Yun from a distance, he seemed to be looking for him urgently, so he smiled and said, "I'll go to the military office first, and then I'll come back to visit you."

He glanced at Sun Shangxiang, the meaning in his eyes was to let her go with Tao Zhan at ease, Sun Shangxiang understood, smiled and nodded, then took Tao Zhan's hand, and walked with her to the carriage.

Liu Jing kept watching the carriage going away, then slowly walked up to Dong Yun and asked, "What happened?"

Dong Yun was a little nervous and said, "Report to Zhou Mu that something serious happened in Yiling."
