Wei Shao's hand holding the sword slowly put it down, the tip of the sword pointed to the ground, but he still kept his original posture, and his eyes were always fixed on Xiao Qiao's face.

The two pupils in his eyes seemed to freeze, not moving at all. Maybe just woke up, or because of the reflection of the red candle on the side, it turned into a reddish brown with some light transparent enamel, like the color of amber.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyeballs, Xiao Qiao's whole body was tense, and he didn't dare to move around. His eyes were also subconsciously round, and he passively looked at him.

A little bit of wind, I don't know which corner crevice got in, the candle light swayed slightly, and the side face candle shadow cast on Xiao Qiao's face also swayed slightly.

Wei Shao seemed to have suddenly regained his senses, his shoulders moved slightly, but he didn't look down. The sword was inserted back into the scabbard with a "cha" sound. After putting it on the bed, he sat on the edge of the bed, bowed his head and bent over to put on his boots. He walked, then grabbed the sword, got up and strode out.

Xiao Qiao watched his back and let out a sigh of relief.

Wei Shao walked to the screen, suddenly stopped and turned his head.

Xiao Qiao's breath that wasn't finished was suffocated in his chest again.

"It's not suitable for you to stay here, and tomorrow I will send someone to take you back to Yuyang."

he said lightly. Turned around and finally left. The figure turned around the screen, the door opened with an "ah", and then the sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and finally disappeared completely in my ears.

Xiao Qiao finally finished his breath, and finally touched the edge of the bed. When he slowly sat down, he found that his hands were shaking slightly, his back was sweating, and his inner shirt was tightly attached to his skin. It was cold and very uncomfortable.

…

Wei Shao went to the study, and when he was about to arrive, he stopped and looked around.

The Xin Palace during the day, because there are not many people, often has a feeling of emptiness, not to mention that it is only four watch now, it is the darkest moment of the night, everything is silent, and the servants in the Xin Mansion are still immersed in dreamland.

His eyes fell on the sandalwood platform that was clearly outlined by the dark night behind him.

After a while, he climbed up the tall building built on the high rammed earth platform, leaning against the railing against the chilling night wind, overlooking the city wall under the dark night and the field outside the city wall. There was a slight footstep behind him, and he turned his head, and by the starlight above his head, he recognized that it was the marching Sima Gongsun Yang.

"My lord, why are you leaning on the railing alone here?"

Gongsun Yang greeted Wei Shao and smiled as he approached.

…

Gongsun Yang, courtesy name Buen, was born in Zhangqiu, Mount Tai, and was forty years old. In his early years, Wei Shao's father, Wei Jing, was from a humble background, and Wei Jing had a wealth of talented people. He was also unknown. After Wei Jingshen's death, Youzhou was once in a predicament of being surrounded by enemies. His eloquence was outstanding. With excellent performance, he turned Youzhou from danger to safety several times, and was gradually reused by Mrs. Xu. After Wei Shao ruled the army, he followed Wei Shao to fight in the east and west. This time, the Qiao family in Yanzhou took the initiative to show their marriage. Wei Shao happened to be absent when the envoy came. When he came back, he heard that his grandmother Mrs. Xu had arranged the marriage on her behalf. After catching up to intercept him, Gongsun Yang Yili persuaded him, and Wei Shao finally accepted his advice and agreed to the marriage.

…

"Sir, why are you blowing your hair here if you don't own Gao Mian?"

Wei Shao asked back.

"Last night, Ben was drunk. When I woke up, I couldn't sleep anymore. Seeing the splendid star river, I simply went to watch the stars this night. I didn't want to meet the lord."

After Gongsun Yang finished speaking, he smiled, walked to Wei Shao's side, and said again: "I once heard a proverb in Yanzhou, 'Luo Shui is very magical, and Shuang Qiao accounts for eight points'. , Nv Qiao really deserves such praise. I see her behavior and expression, in front of the eyes, there is no timidity, she is a lady. The lord is beautiful, I am delighted! "

In front of Wei Shao's eyes, Zhang Mingming was so frightened just now that his eyes were wide open. He could even clearly see that her eyelashes were trembling slightly, but he still tried his best to make a calm look in front of him. The face was silent for a moment, and then said lightly: "It's just an expedient move to push the boat along the river after listening to Mr.'s advice. Why is it so gratifying. Just ask her to go back to Yuyang tomorrow."

Gongsun Yang was slightly startled, glanced at him, and saw that he didn't care, he smiled and said, "Alright, Henan (south of the Yellow River) should take care of it, don't be too hasty. Now that the marriage has been completed, the queen will go there. Yuyang served the elders, performed filial piety on behalf of the lord, and the lord was determined to pursue a great cause, which is also a beautiful thing."

Wei Shao didn't answer, just smiled.

"After watching the stars at night, in the crape myrtle wall, the emperor star is hidden, and the white air is obscured. I am afraid that the world will soon be in chaos, and the people will suffer."

Gongsun Yang looked up at the starry sky and suddenly sighed.

Wei Shao looked up in the direction he was pointing, and saw the stars hanging in the sky, a little bright, and he couldn't see anything, so he said, "I have always admired the **** of Mr.

Gongsun Yang shook his head: "My lord is wrong, I'm nothing but a good person. If we talk about gods, there is really one person in this world, and he has half a teacher's grace for me. His surname is Wang and Jin, and he calls himself the old man of Baishi, and he is the second of the Mo family. The ten-generation direct disciples not only have the skills of vertical, horizontal and vertical, but also have the wisdom to reach the sky, and they are also good at the medical skills of Huang Qi and Huang, and they are profoundly educated.

Wei Shao raised his eyebrows: "So amazing, where are you now?"

Gongsun Yang said: "When I was young, I searched everywhere and wanted to worship the Momen. Huang Tian lived up to it, and finally got to meet the old man. Unfortunately, my qualifications were poor and I was not admitted to the door. Ten years ago, I was fortunate enough to meet the old man again by chance. Only then did I realize that he cared about the world, and once again entered the world and traveled around the world to help the world and save people. Now ten years have passed, and I don’t know where he is. If he is here, he should be Rare."

A gust of cold wind blew, and Gongsun Yang suddenly coughed.

He was injured in an accident when he was with the army in his early years. He later recovered, but left the root of his illness. He often coughed and his body deteriorated.

"It's freezing cold, and the gentleman is weak. I'll take him back to the room."

Wei Shao said immediately.

Gongsun Yang repeatedly said that he did not dare, and said that he could go back by himself. Wei Shao didn't force it, he just took off his cloak, put it on Gongsun Yang's shoulders, and watched his back go downstairs.

After Gongsun Yang left, Wei Shao leaned on the railing alone, and subconsciously glanced at the constellation that Gongsun Yang pointed out to him just now.

Qin lost his deer, and the world chased him away.

In Wei Shao's ambition, he has gradually drawn a clearer picture of the future.

The Yellow River is drawn from north to south, the southern river is in the hinterland of Luozhongyuan, and the northern ancient Yanzhao Wei land. Ten years ago, when his father was still alive, there were no less than ten warlords in the north. Today, many of them have been nibbled and swallowed up, and the rest is not a concern. The remaining Bingzhou Chen Xiang can still compete with himself.

His first goal now is to swallow up Bingzhou, seize this piece of land known as the granary of Longxi, after unifying the north, and then map the land of Henan, so as to finally move westward and achieve great things.

And the terrain of Yanzhou is a convenient way for him to go south in the future. The marriage of the two families, today, with the strength of the Wei family to protect the Qiao family's status in Yanzhou, is actually like the Qiao family is guarding this southward road for themselves. His grandmother, Mrs. Xu, had far-reaching vision, and she should have realized this, so she took the initiative to accept the Qiao family's favor for him. Of course, this was also the only reason why, although he was extremely reluctant, he finally listened to Gongsun Yang's advice and acquiesced in this marriage.

Since he was ten years old, he has been on horseback chasing his father, who is the governor of Youzhou, to fight against the Xiongnu who crossed the border. In his eyes, his father was like a god. Ten years ago, the Qiao family's treachery caused him to lose his loving father and eldest brother. He never believed the Qiao family's so-called explanation that "the messenger was intercepted in the middle of the road". People who are not as good as pigs and dogs, like Chen Jun Li Su, will one day be destroyed. Marrying Qiao's daughter now is just to repay the other person's body with the way of the person. Except for the psychological disgust this marriage brought to him, he didn't feel anything wrong.

As for the daughter of the Qiao family...

He turned his eyes and looked down at the direction of Sheyang's new house that he had just walked out of a moment ago.

Looking from a distance, the window still showed a reddish candlelight, which was very conspicuous against the dark surrounding.

She can only blame her own fate. Wei Shao thought about it. In her mind, she couldn't help but re-emerge the scene of seeing her being led and walking towards him for the first time during the wedding.

The raw ones are barely visible; the flesh on the body, top and bottom, together, must not be able to make up two taels.

He subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.

…

After Wei Shao left, Xiao Qiao didn't want to sleep anymore, and sat in the room until dawn, wrapped in blankets.

He didn't show his face again. When Chunniang and the others came in to serve her and wash up, there was news in the letter mansion that the bride would not be favored by the prince and the bridal chamber would be sent away to Yuyang the next day.

Yuyang is where the Wei family's foundation is located. Wei Shao's grandmother, Mrs. Xu, and his widowed mother, Zhu's are all there today.

Originally, a daughter-in-law went to her hometown to serve the elders for her husband and perform filial piety. However, just the second day of the wedding, they will be rushed away...

This is too embarrassing!

At first, Chunniang forced her to act as if nothing had happened in front of Xiao Qiao, but she couldn't bear it anymore, sent the maid out, took Xiao Qiao's hand, and said with tears: "Ms. When one of the servants got up at night, he saw Wei Hou from a distance. How could he leave the room so early? Could it be that you forgot the maid’s previous instructions and angered him, so he sent you to Yuyang today?”

Chunniang's meaning, to put it bluntly, means that now the servants in the letter house are spreading the news. The **** in the bridal chamber was unbalanced last night, and Wei Hou was not satisfied with the bride, so she will be sent back to her hometown today.

The kind of grievance and depression in Xiao Qiao's heart is also unspeakable.

She couldn't tell Chunniang that Wei Shao, the groom's official, came back drunk and fell asleep without even looking at her. She stayed up until the second half of the night and was woken up by the cold, but when she wanted to get a quilt to keep him warm, she was almost killed by him. Killed as an assassin?

This man, how many unfortunate things have you done on weekdays, so that you are so alert even in your sleep?

"I didn't offend him, and he didn't touch me last night. He just doesn't like me. My uncle and the Wei family have their own plans for marriage. Since I'm willing to marry, I'm already prepared. Go to Yuyang. It doesn't matter, I will go sooner or later, so why bother about it? As for what other people say, let them say, I don't care, so don't be sad."

A situation like this will never be the last. Similar things will happen in the future. She didn't want Chunniang to have empty hopes and be disappointed again and again. I simply took this opportunity to explain it to her.

"Chunniang, your name is a maid, and I regard you as a half-mother. When I marry into the Wei family, you are the only person by my side that I can fully trust. I hope that you will also strengthen your resolve and help you in future situations. I can help."

Chunniang stared at Xiao Qiao in a daze.

The morning sun was shining in from the east window and fell on the side of the dresser. The golden sunlight painted her tender skin with a warm tone, and even the tiny hairs on her earlobes could be seen clearly. She looked at herself and smiled, her eyes were shining, as if there were jewels flowing in her.

Such a lady is both familiar to her and unfamiliar. But for some unknown reason, Chunniang slowly developed confidence from the bottom of her heart, and her whole body seemed to have strength, and a desire to protect her regardless of her own health emerged spontaneously.

"What the maid taught is! The maid wrote it down! The maid will comb your hair and dress up for you."

Chunniang quickly wiped away her tears, got up and stood behind Xiao Qiao, and began to comb her hair and dress up.

She has a pair of very skillful hands that can comb people's hair and dress up, and she has talent and slow exploration later. In the past, when Xiao Qiao's mother was still alive, she often praised her for her wonderful skills, saying that she could turn a woman's appearance into eight.

Last night, she was worried that Wei Hou would not know the seriousness and would make the queen suffer. It never occurred to him that he didn't even touch the lady.

The dissatisfaction and depression in her heart were indescribable. Just like the jewels that you have hidden in a precious box, you usually hide them and don’t want to show them to others, but now they are delivered to you, you still despise them and look down on them?

She originally had great awe for Wei Shao, but she was already dissatisfied when she came down this morning.

This Weihou, how blind must his eyes be to turn a blind eye to his precious Xiao Qiao? Even humiliating her by sending her away the next day?

The heavy makeup that was suitable for a big wedding last night was elegant and gorgeous, but it actually concealed Xiao Qiao's most moving charm. Today, she must dress up for the lady.

Even if you leave, you have to leave beautifully, and you must never leave a laughing stock to these people in Xindi!
