Jiangshan is the betrothal gift

Chapter 74
Sure enough, Jiu Yiniang sighed, "The writing is really beautiful, but it's a pity that I don't recognize it. Girl, tell me what's written on it. Oh, everyone in the yard knows that Master Zhu sent you a letter. The eyes that looked at me up and down from inside and outside made me feel my spine straightened a little. I never thought that a person who was quite a mess before now is like changing his heart now. I hate it even if I hate it Woke up."

What kind of talk is this, but fortunately she said it here, if someone listens to it, it would be really inappropriate.

"Auntie, in fact, I didn't write anything, but I wrote about the sights and stories along the way, and told me that he had a safe journey and nothing else." Rui Yi laughed.

Jiu Yiniang was a little disappointed, and couldn't help complaining: "Why did you just write this and nothing else?"

Rui Yi knew what Auntie wanted to ask, shook his head and said: "No, although I have an engagement with him, but we are not yet married, how can we behave casually, you think too much."

Although Jiu Yiniang was disappointed, she soon cheered up, looked at Rui Yi and said, "It's very good, it's a gentleman's behavior."

Seeing Jiu Yiniang say the words "a gentleman's behavior" in a serious manner, she couldn't help laughing. According to her previous impression, a gentleman is still not considered a gentleman, but this person is a very interesting person.It is really interesting to meet such a person for the first time, knowing how to find another way to improve the impression he left on her, not to annoy her, but also to make her look forward to hearing from him. of.

Seeing that Rui Yi didn't speak, Jiu Yiniang asked her daughter very curiously, "Do you want to write him a reply?"

Rui Yi didn't expect Jiu Yiniang to ask such a question, this is indeed a difficult task, do you want to write it?Write what?What is there to write about in the dull and watery days.

Shaking his head lightly, Rui Yi said, "I won't write it anymore, maybe he won't write it again after writing this letter, and it doesn't make sense for me to write it back."

"That's right, girls have to be reserved, so I won't write." Jiu Yiniang said with a smile, looking at Rui Yi's expression, she didn't know what was going on in her daughter's heart, and she couldn't help asking: "Did he talk to you that day?" What did you say when we met?" After asking several times, the girl refused to tell, she was so curious.

Rui Yi was also quite helpless, no matter how she said what Zhu Yanzhang said that day, it was not quite right, she couldn't say it out.

"Actually, I didn't say anything. I just said that he will marry me when he comes back next year." Ruiyi was defeated by Jiu Yiniang, so he could only talk about gossip to comfort her.

Jiu Yiniang laughed when she heard that, looked at Rui Yi and said, "That's pretty much the same, but I don't know if there is any danger for him to go to the border this time. Really, a good scholar, what kind of border is he going to?"

Rui Yi also couldn't figure out why Zhu Yanzhang went to the border.

Many times, you will never understand why other people do things.

Yuan Ruijun came back from checking and guarding all the way, and then entered the tent where he was stationed, and saw Zhu Yanzhang writing a letter under the oil lamp, took off his armor, and said with a smile, "Writing letters again?" When you come here, you can see how the infantry is arrayed. People can write a flower on a pile of stones from here. It's not that they, the old men, can understand.

Zhu Yanzhang admired Yuan Ruijun's straightforwardness, so he nodded, "Yes, this place is called Zhupingguan, which fits my surname, so it is naturally worth writing about."

After washing his face and wiping it clean, Yuan Ruijun laughed at him, "That's right, a flower is worth writing about, a stone is also worth writing about, and you can write seventeen or eighteen tricks about a road. is you."

"This is called good thoughts in the heart, and everything is beautiful."

"Turn those who don't understand, and those who can understand." Yuan Ruijun said, and opened the curtain to let the guards at the door bring supper. After a night of patrolling, he was tired and thirsty.

Everything is ready, as soon as you call here, someone will deliver it over there.

Putting the things on the table, Yuan Ruijun asked people to step back, poured two glasses of wine and said to Zhu Yanzhang, "Come, let's have a drink together."

Zhu Yanzhang nodded lightly, "Wait until I finish writing the ending."

Yuan Ruijun chuckled, started to eat and drink by himself, sighed and said: "This way to the north, it's getting colder and colder, and King Di Rong doesn't know what he's thinking, he doesn't lock himself in the tent when it's cold. Seeing his wife being intimate, he insisted on making a big fuss, making trouble uneasy."

"A wolf with ambition, how can he rest on the couch?" Zhu Yanzhang put down his pen, picked up the letter paper and dried the ink, carefully put it into an envelope, sealed it, put it in the armhole, and then walked over and sat down opposite Yuan Ruijun , picked up the wine glass and took a sip, frowning slightly, this was too strong, "If you can keep your own place, you won't covet my Dayan's land."

The two of them didn't have any friendship before, but since they became brother-in-law, Yuan Ruijun, the leader of the generals, took good care of Zhu Yanzhang along the way.A rude soldier with a lot of habits, and a gentle and courteous gentleman, it is also a joy to put them together.

Yuan Ruijun chuckled, looked at Zhu Yanzhang and said: "That's true, but if we go back to the past, our Dayan also snatched his apprentice from Di Rong. In the area of ​​Pingyiguan today, I remember that Dayan was born in the early days of the founding of the country. It was snatched from Di Rong. So when it comes to war, it is impossible to tell right from wrong, it all depends on strength, and whoever has a tough knife will win the king."

"It can't be said like this. History will give a clear explanation. Right and wrong have their own conclusions."

"That's useless. Everyone died, and the country was robbed by others. What remains in the history books is only the mercy of future generations. Can the result be changed? No."

Civil officials talk about refuting opponents with powerful intellectual theories, distinguishing right from wrong, and talking about a demeanor.

As a military officer, it's much simpler, just roll up your sleeves, right or wrong, fight first, win is king.

So even though Zhu Yanzhang didn't dislike Yuan Ruijun, he didn't actually like Yuan Ruijun. He was full of prostitutes, and sometimes he did things quite arrogantly.

Yuan Ruijun also looked down on Zhu Yanzhang a little bit in his heart. If you say that a frail scholar goes to the border to join in the fun, if he turns around with his arm, you will be finished.

In the end, there is still some kind of relative relationship that turns a corner, and both of them can still maintain a friendly attitude on their faces.

For example, in the matter of writing letters, Yuan Ruijun felt that it would be embarrassing for the elders to write letters from home all day long.In his heart, he despises such behavior. He has been in the army for so many years and has never written a letter home.What is there to write about, whether she can lead the charge for you, or advise you, writing so much is worrying for no reason, it is better not to write, to be clean.

Zhu Yanzhang didn't think so, he just felt that even if she couldn't come in person, she felt that what she had seen and heard along the way was a wonderful thing to be her eyes.

The two of them were not congenial, so it was fine to say a few words. After eating and drinking, Zhu Yanzhang went back to his bed to rest.Yuan Ruijun patrolled outside again, and then came back to lie down, his mind was full of the military situation at the border, and he couldn't stop for a while.

Pass through Zhuping Pass, pass Qihukou, and finally arrive at Pingyi Pass.

Zhou Shenyi led troops to patrol the outposts and came to meet them. The troops led by Yuan Ruijun had clear instructions on where to station, so they separated from Zhu Yanzhang at the pass and went their separate ways.

The one who came to greet Zhu Yanzhang was none other than Rong Ling. As soon as he saw Zhu Yanzhang, he walked over quickly, laughed twice and said: "My lord was talking about Mr. Zhu's arrival this morning, and he did. It's a pleasure to meet you." , as soon as I saw the young master, he was indeed a peerless beauty."

Zhu Yanzhang's brows were frivolous when he heard the words "Peerless Beauty", and he looked at Rongling and said, "I've heard about General Rong's name for a long time, please come and greet me."

Rong Ling looked at Zhu Yanzhang, but said in his mouth: "I have heard it from Qi Yan many times, and I am so happy to see the real person. Please come in quickly, the prince will not come back until noon, I wish you to go to wash and rest first. The rooms are all ready. It’s just that the border is bitterly cold, so please forgive me if there is any negligence.”

"It doesn't matter, the noble body of the prince can be at ease, so naturally."

"Hehe." Rongling laughed, and brought Zhu Yanzhang into the city. Pingyiguan was built very mighty, and it cost countless manpower and material resources back then. Standing here is to deter foreign enemies and show off the majesty of Yan.The places in the city are naturally a little better than what Rongling said before, but it is really far from the prosperity and prosperity of the capital of God.

Zhu Yanzhang walked all the way in, watching the people in the pass rushing about, and the troops coming and going with solemn faces and hurried steps, which shows the tense situation at the border.

Rong Ling walked all the way into the city, many teams stopped to greet him, Zhu Yanzhang saw it in his heart and didn't say a word.

Walking this way, Ping Yiguan's current situation is worse than he thought.Passing through the main road in the city, and waiting for him all the way to the General's Mansion, Rong Ling said with a smile: "Young Master Zhu's residence was personally arranged by the Prince, and it is right here in the General's Mansion. I still have work to do, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time. Young master catches the wind."

"With General Lao Rong, you can go and do your own work." Zhu Yanzhang said with a smile.

Rong Ling smiled at him, turned and left.

Zhu Yanzhang looked at Rongling's back, and it took him a long time to turn around and enter the General's Mansion.
