Chapter 143

That night, the prince of Xiongnu went back to the palace and proposed to the emperor the replacement and selection of relatives. When he heard that he didn't even want the daughter of the general's house, but insisted on marrying a little Qiao family daughter, the emperor thought for a moment that he was hallucinating.

The emperor's unbelievable eyes fell on the two princes, but his words were to Fu Gong: "Fu Gong, what did you hear the two princes say?"

Father Fu said with a wry smile: "the second prince said that he would give up Miss DORO's marriage and marry Miss Qiao instead."

"Ah." The emperor still did not return to his mind. He looked at the two princes and the Hun envoys with more strange expressions. In a moment, he calmed down and said, "what's the dissatisfaction with the two princes?"

It's not like ordinary dissatisfaction, but it's like something happened suddenly, which made him more interested in Miss Qiao.

But the Emperor didn't want to poke the window paper too much for the time being. All the actions of the two Hun princes during the Daliang Dynasty were free. Even if he really tried to meet the Qiao family, he had nothing to say.

The expression on the second prince's face had never been more serious: "emperor, you have been cheated. Today, I saw Miss DORO. She is really, good and decent."

The emperor was very happy to hear him speak poor Chinese. He couldn't help laughing.

Father Fu cleared his throat.

The emperor restrained a smile, serious face way: "how can you see her?"

Of course, the two princes can't say that King Yin specially asked himself to see through each other's true purpose. King Yin did everything for him. He couldn't betray King Yin. After thinking about it, he said: "yes, I met you. It happened. She drinks a lot of wine, not like words. I don't like women who drink. "

Ugly appearance can not be mentioned, otherwise it seems that they are too self-restraint.

On the women's festival of Chongming in Daliang Dynasty, even going out on weekdays was restricted, not to mention drinking in public. It was out of order. This one alone was not qualified to go abroad.

The emperor was silent. The three children of the Doros knew that the eldest was gentle and knowledgeable, the second was weak and sick, and the third was unruly since he was a child, like a little monkey. The reason why he chose her for marriage was that she was heavy enough to show the sincerity of friendship between Daliang and Xiongnu; the second was that she had an extraordinary appearance, like a fairy, and didn't worry about being able to capture the heart of the second prince; the third was that she had a strong identity It's her nature. A woman who is too gentle and weak can't survive in the barbaric land of Xiongnu. She has to be a little monkey to make a beautiful flower on the grassland.

But now, this is exactly what he wanted. If he didn't pay attention, it caused trouble.

It really proves that everything is a double-edged sword.

After a flash of thought, the emperor frowned and looked at the second prince with a gentle smile: "if you just don't like her drinking, I'll tell her to get rid of the problem. The child is very clever. Maybe he is too happy to celebrate because he knows that he has been married."

Master Fu is also convinced of his ability to confuse black and white.

The second prince didn't want to give up marriage just because she was drunk. The main reason was her face that scared the dead to life. It was really terrible. He just recalled it and thought that we could not have dinner today: "emperor, I heard that there is an old saying in your central plains, River and mountain, easy to change, nature, hard to move. In front of you, she changed, follow me, go back, she didn't change At that time, what should I do? "

The emperor was speechless when the second prince, who had failed in the ability of Chinese expression, was able to bring out such a brilliant truth.

"It's my wife, I want to, myself, choose." The second prince said without any concession that it was related to his love and happiness for the rest of his life. He still had confidence in this point.

To be fair, to the emperor, it doesn't matter whether it is Duoluo Mingzhu or qiaoyuxi. Anyway, no one is his daughter, but it's about the face of a country. He still hopes to send out a noble daughter who can hold up a door. Otherwise, he will choose a poor lady. The Huns blame him for not being sincere and fooling the Huns, but he can say no It's clear.

The envoys also admonished their princes not to lose the big because of the small. General Dora was the most feared General of the Xiongnu. He had a powerful hand and married his daughter. If there was a war in the future, general Dora would think twice about his daughter's face. That's why they would rather have Dora than the princess.

But the second prince has been frightened by Duoluo Mingzhu's appearance and deeply attracted by Qiao Yuxi's beauty. He can't listen to anything at the moment. He just wants to get rid of the ugly eight and marry the little beauty back to his room.

The emperor tried to persuade the two princes a few words. The two princes insisted on marrying Qiao Yuxi, and the envoys knelt down for him. This is a marriage, not a joke. How can we choose a woman with such a weak family background?

The two princes said that if it wasn't for yong'en Hou, he would have died. This time, let's not talk about it. His life was given by yong'en Hou. It's right to repay him.

The emperor took a puff from the corner of his mouth. Boy, you are not repaying kindness, you are repaying kindness

After that, the two princes switched back to the Xiongnu language. The Emperor didn't understand a word, so he saw that the two princes beat their chests, and several envoys smoked. Finally, the envoys all shut up, and the two princes showed the glory of victory on their faces.The emperor understood that the second prince had won. Unexpectedly, the little fool who failed in Chinese had a native language of level 10. One man was fighting ten, and there was no pressure.

The emperor's face makes me helpless. How can I meet a man who is rebellious like you? I've made a marriage for you. You don't want to hit me in the face, but I'm really kind, so I've decided to forgive you He sighed: "since the two princes insist so much, then I will become the two princes."

The news that he and his relatives had been replaced spread to the general's house and Enber's house that night.

The family members of the general's house wept with joy, and general DORO also breathed a long sigh of relief. When the Emperor gave his little daughter a wedding, he was very willing to give up, but he had no way. If he sacrificed a daughter, he would get the lives of thousands of soldiers and common people. He thought, he would rather be a cruel father.

He has been planning to feel guilty all his life. Unexpectedly, the marriage was withdrawn. It's just a surprise!

If it's a coincidence, it's OK. If it's human, then he owes that man a great favor.

Contrary to the general's relief, Enbo's house exploded when it learned that Qiao Yuxi was going to be elected to the Huns.

Xu broke his favorite enamel vase by mistake.

The eldest son has just had such a fatal accident, she is close to the edge of collapse, and now her daughter has a sudden accident, she is going crazy!

"Why? Why Xi'er? Don't you have a DORO lady? Why did you suddenly change your mind? " With a pale face, she fell into a chair.

Qiao Yueshan also wondered, what did the emperor think? How could he get rid of his marriage? It's reasonable to say that the gold of Dora's house is not qualified. Only when the princess and Princess of the royal family go out, can the sincerity of the Liang Dynasty be shown. But Dora's family has military power, and the value of Dora's gold is not inferior to that of the princess. So she was chosen, but How did you become your own daughter?

He doesn't think that Qiao's daughter is valuable enough to represent the dignity of a dynasty.

What happened in the meantime?

Xu's heart broke when he cried: "master, you should think of a way! You can't marry Xi'er to Xiongnu! That kind of place, the man went to all live not long, not to mention is such a weak brook? She was born with a weak disease and recuperated in the Taoist temple for several years before she recovered If you send her to the sand, she will die... "

Qiao Yueshan frowned: "do you think I'm willing to marry Xi'er to such a place? But what can I do? This is the will of the Emperor himself

Xu said: "didn't the emperor give a decree to DORO's family before? Didn't you change your mind? What's so hard about changing your mind again? "

Qiao Yueshan said angrily: "what you said is light! Can the Qiao family compare with the DORO family? "

The couple seemed to put the account on the head of the general's house. They thought that the general's house had played some tricks in front of the emperor, so that the emperor replaced the candidates for the peace.

This pot of general's house is doomed, but the general's house is not wronged. After all, it benefits from the general's house's money. We can't easily pick up a big bargain without paying any price. How can such a good thing be found in the world?

However, even if the general's house is a pot, it's nothing. What's the Qiao family's "do you have any good suggestions for this marriage?" The emperor asked without hesitation.

An old gentleman surnamed Yang said, "I think Miss Qiao's identity is not valuable enough. The emperor can follow the example of an emperor and take her as his adopted daughter and crown her as a princess, which represents the royal family of Daliang

Emperor Cheng was the emperor's grandfather. Because of the tense border relations, he used to make peace with his relatives. At that time, Emperor Cheng did not have a daughter of the right age, so he chose a daughter with both ability and political integrity from his family and was canonized as Princess Gaoyang, who married far away from the Great Wall.

The emperor, eh, nodded.

Another Ge Laodao, surnamed Zhou, said: "I think it's not right. The reason why emperor Cheng took him as his adopted daughter was that there was no princess to marry at that time. But now there are at least three princesses of the right age in the royal family. They are real phoenixes, and why are they replaced by fake phoenixes? This may not be too obvious. "

Yang Ge said: "in your words, shouldn't you point out the princess to the second prince from the beginning?"

At first, he did want to appoint a princess, but the emperor felt that he didn't have to wait for the Huns to kill them. At that time, he still had to choose a strong daughter from his family.

Mr. Zhou Ge snorted: "I didn't say that. I think we should marry whoever we choose. There's no need to make a fake identity. It's not disgusting!"

Yang Ge old one stares: "who do you call disgusting?"

This kind of quarrel is commonplace. The emperor is very numb. When they quarrel so much that their faces are red and their necks are thick, and their saliva spurts all over the room, the emperor finally says, "what's the prime minister's opinion?"

The two elders quickly calmed down.

It's OK to quarrel with the emperor. The emperor is benevolent. He won't do anything to them. The prime minister is not sure.

What's more, this Qianjin once made an engagement with the prime minister, and it's said that he withdrew. I don't know if he would be embarrassed to talk about this kind of thing in front of him?Let everyone down, Ji Mingxiu's face a trace of embarrassment, calm as if did not know Miss Qiao.

Ji Mingxiu looked at the emperor faintly. The room was so quiet that he could hear the sound of the wind blowing the pages of the book. He said slowly: "I think that the princess and the daughter are all things on the surface. What sounds good is not necessarily practical. I really want to show the sincerity of Daliang's cooperation. It's enough to give the Xiongnu what they want. No matter who they marry, let them have a chance When it comes to substantive benefits, the peace talks will be considered satisfactory. "

Everyone nodded. Reconciliation is only a means. How to make both sides benefit is the key to the good relations between the two countries.

Yang Ge said: "Xiongnu is poor. I heard that their royal court is not as good as the residence of a second-class senior official in Daliang. It's better to give them more gold and silver as dowries."

Mr. Zhou Ge said: "the Xiongnu broke out a plague. It was just when there was a lack of medicinal materials that we could attach some emergency medicinal materials. In addition, seeing autumn coming, I heard that the Huns were very sad in winter. There was no grassland, and all the cattle and sheep starved to death. It would be great if we could attach more supplies for the winter. "

On this point, the two cabinet elders have reached a consensus.

The Minister of rites kept silent and kept it in mind.

Ji Mingxiu suddenly said, "it's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. The dead things will be used up one day. It's better to give them something for sustainable development."

"For example?" Asked the emperor.

Ji Ming said: "such as farming."

The emperor touched his chin.

"Is the prime minister joking? Xiongnu is either grassland or Gobi, or Gobi or desert. How to farm? I'm afraid the crops will die of drought in a few days. "

Ji Mingxiu said with a faint smile: "if you can't do something, you think others can't do it. What's the difference between this and the frog in the well?"

Zhou GE's face turned red with choking.

The emperor said thoughtfully, "it's not that there are no people farming in the Xiongnu, but most of the soil there is not suitable for crop growth and can't grow much."

Ji Mingxiu said quietly: "I have heard that a strange man has planted all the wasteland in the nearby village. The emperor might as well send someone to inquire about it. If it is true, then let Miss Qiao go to the farmer's home to learn farming. One who is willing to condescend to the Huns' people and study farming himself The king's Court of Xiongnu will respect him and the people of Xiongnu will love him. This is the blessing of Miss Qiao, of the Huns and of Daliang. "

The emperor was agitated on the spot. He summoned the Secretary of the Ministry of household and the Chief Secretary of agriculture to assign the task.

Hubu Shangshu's action was very fast. One day, he found out that the pioneers were in rhinoceros village. The third day, before dawn, Hubu Shangshu and Dasinong went to rhinoceros village together.

The village hasn't been to the government for a long time. The last time Jingyun won the little Tanhua of the child prodigy test, an official came to report the good news in person. The village head remembered the sensation at that time, and the whole village came to watch.

This time is no exception. From the moment when two adults in black uniforms stepped down from the carriage, the villagers gathered around curiously like watching monkey opera.

The Secretary of the Ministry of household dusted off his broad sleeves. He was a little worried and didn't inform the county magistrate. The people at the bottom didn't know the way. He asked an honest old man, "old man, are you the village head?"

Shuanzi's father was flattered and said, "yes, yes! village head! village head! My Lord has come to see you

When he roared a few times, the ears of Hubu Shangshu and Dasinong were numb.

The village head was working in the field. When he heard the call of shuanzi's father, he threw away his hoe and ran over: "what adult? Which adult? Is it the county magistrate? "

Hubu Shangshu frowned.

As soon as the village head looked at their clothes, they were not like the county officials, but they were many times more powerful than the official who reported the good news last time. The village head quickly welcomed them into his house and said to the villagers who followed up: "what are you looking at? Don't you have to work in the field? It's all gone! It's gone

Where is everyone willing to leave? Just at his door, peering in.

The village head's wife made two cups of tea nervously and excitedly: "please take your time, two adults. This is the new Longjing this year."

The two of them sneered at the fact that there was no Longjing in my family due to the severe drought this year. As a small village head, you can get such a good east -

have a drink.

I've lost my head.

It's really Longjing!

How did the village head in such a small place get to Longjing?!

"Hey, hey." Xiaoqiao gave him two Jin of Longjing, and he just drank a little.

Hubu Shangshu drank half a cup and put down the cup with reserve.

The village head's wife rushed to fill it.

It's very simple to pour tea as full as wine!

The head of the household department drank half of it and put it on the table. The village head's wife filled it up again.

Hubu Shangshu was very satisfied, and he had a very good impression of the village!"Two adults are..." The village head asked with a smile.

Hubu Shangshu introduces the identity of himself and the big farmer, and the village head is so scared that he falls on the chair!

Dear, senior officials in Beijing!

Hubu Shangshu said quietly: "I heard that there is a strange man in your village who can grow things out of the wasteland. Is there such a thing?"

The village head pressed down his nervousness and swallowed the channel: "some, some, just live on the mountain. Is Shangshu looking for her?"

Hubu Shangshu said: "don't worry, you first take me and big Si Nong to see the land he planted."

"Yes

The head of the village led the two adults to the sorghum field in the East Village. After three months, the sorghum was almost mature. From a distance, it was green, like a vibrant oasis.

Before he came here, Da Si Nong had collected the geographical records of this area. It was true that there was a wasteland that could not grow anything for more than ten or twenty years.

Hubu Shangshu didn't know much about farming, so he looked at the Chief Secretary of agriculture.

As soon as he looked at the nearby canal, he said, "no wonder it's a waste."

The village head was surprised: "ah! That's what little Joe said at the time

Dasinong first checked the soil, nodded, and then looked at sorghum: "can you try one?"

"Of course The head of the village broke off a piece of sweet sorghum to the big farmer.

Sweet sorghum and sugarcane are eaten in the same way. The Secretary of the Ministry of household looked at Da sinang, who was always very clear and cold. He rudely bit open the sorghum skin and took a bite of sorghum meat.

"How?" Asked the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts.

Big Si Nong nodded: "sweet."

He really has some ability to grow such sweet sorghum from a piece of wasteland.

"Is there any other wasteland?" Asked the chief secretary.

The village head thought for a while and said, "this is the only one in our village. There are still several in the next village."

"He planted them all?" Big Si Nong thought it was a man.

The village head shook his head: "it's planted according to her method. Do you want to have a look?"

Of course.

The village head and two adults went to the next village for a tour. The wasteland there is still in the stage of improvement. What they grow is not crops, but wolfberry, which can improve the soil environment. It also grows very well.

Big Si Nong couldn't help but have some interest in promoting people: "how old is he this year? Have you ever studied? What's the situation at home? "

The village head said with a smile: "I don't know how old she is. Her child is five years old. She has studied. She can read. What's the situation at home That is She's a little widow

Woman?!

Hubu Shangshu and Dasinong were surprised.

Soon, big Si Nong showed a look of disappointment, is a woman, then can't enter the court as an official.

But the Secretary of the Ministry of household thought it was very good. The other party was a widow, which meant that there was no man in her house. In this way, Miss Qiao could study at her home without worrying about fame and integrity.

The two adults proposed to meet Qiao Wei. The village head went to the mountain to invite her. Unfortunately, Qiao Wei went to the town to discuss business with boss Rong. They did not see Qiao Wei back in the afternoon, so they packed up (a large bundle of sorghum) and went back.

At night, the village head went to the villa and told Qiao Wei that the imperial court would send someone to her home to learn farming skills. By the way, he gave Qiao Wei sorghum money.

The next morning, Qiao Wei met the so-called person who studied farming. She didn't expect that she was a woman, or a woman who had offended her from the beginning to the end.

Aha, that's interesting!

Qiao Wei put her hands around her abdomen and looked at her with a smile: "it's Miss Qiao. Long time no see. Miss Qiao is all right."

Qiao Yuxi was stunned: "is it you? Why are you here? "

Qiao Wei laughingly said: "this is my home. I'm not here. Where should I be?"

"Your family? You You You... " Qiao Yuxi pointed to her and trembled gently. "You are the one "Pioneers?"

Qiao Wei nodded with a smile: "yes, I am. So miss Qiao, you are the one who came to learn farming Well What, what? "

Qiao Yuxi's breath was frozen. She didn't want to learn any farming skills. She was the daughter of Enbo's family. She was so beautiful. How could she do such dirty and tired things like a wild girl in the countryside? Now I know that the other party is actually a little widow who has a grudge against her husband. She is dead Don't stay here either!

She glared at Qiao Wei fiercely and turned around and left!

Two fierce mothers stopped her without mercy.

Mammy Fang lengthened her voice and said, "the emperor has orders. Miss Qiao must learn farming here until she has learned it."

Qiao Yuxi wronged: "I don't want to learn from her, she has a grudge against me, she will harm me!"

Qiao Wei looked innocent: "what did miss Qiao say? I have nothing against you. How can I harm you? You are the one sent by the emperor to learn farming. If I hurt you, will the emperor blame me? Besides, don't you have two other nannies with you? If you have them staring at you, you won't be bullied. ""Mother Fang Mother sun... " Qiao Yuxi looks at them imploringly.

It's a pity that both of them were sent directly from the palace by the emperor and would not obey her.

Mother Fang said: "Miss Qiao, you'd better go in honestly. From now on, you can learn farming skills from this lady with an open mind. When you arrive at Xiongnu, you can benefit the people and win honor for our Daliang Dynasty."

Who thought of this "bad" idea? It's not slapping Qiao Yuxi's face that she sends a charming young lady to this poor place to learn from a widow she has always looked down upon?

Qiaowei's lips curled up. She was pressed down by herself and curled up again.

Mother Fang looked at Qiao Wei: "the emperor has some words for the old slave to bring to his wife."

Qiao Wei said with a smile, "please say it, Mammy Fang." Just now Qiao Yuxi called them. Qiao Wei had already remembered who was mother Fang and who was mother sun.

"The emperor asked his wife Haosheng to teach Miss Qiao that everything was for the benefit of the people of Xiongnu. We must not be perfunctory." Mother Fang said, went to Qiao Wei's side, and said in a voice that only two of them could hear: "your adult asked the maid to bring a word to his wife. How to clean it up, please your wife."

Qiaowei of course could hear who the adults were in her mouth. She blinked: "is this your adults' idea?"

Mother Fang said with a silent smile, "I hope my wife likes this gift."

I love it. I love it.

Qiao Wei smiles slowly: "don't worry, Mammy. I will remember the emperor's advice and teach Miss Qiao without any privacy. Please follow me into the room first, and I will arrange accommodation for Mammy."

Mother Fang and mother sun came into the house with their bags.

Qiao Yuxi also came.

Qiao Wei looked back at her: "wait, you don't live here."

Qiao Yuxi stares at her: "where do I live?"

"Bil!"

"Madame? You call me Bi'er comes out of the workshop.

Qiao Yuxi saw her, Mou Guang is: "Bi er?"

Bi Er is stunned: "big, big young lady?"

"Why are you here?" Qiao Yuxi doesn't know that Xu's an inserts bi'er to Qiao Wei's side to do undercover work. In fact, she doesn't know the details of bi'er, even Qiao Wei's elder sister, who was expelled from the house.

Xu's daughter is well protected, and she doesn't want to know anything about pickles.

But sometimes, too much protection can become a burden.

Bi'er calms down. She is no longer a member of the family. There's no need to be afraid of each other. Bi'er finds a trace of strength and straightens up her little body and says, "I'm the lady's maid now."

Qiao Yuxi frowned slightly: "madam? What a catchy call you have! It's not the Lord's thing

Bi Er ignored her and turned to Qiao Wei: "madam, what can I do for you?"

Qiao Wei is very satisfied with bi'er's attitude and says with a smile: "arrange a room for Miss Qiao. She may live on the mountain for a long time. Remember to arrange a better room for her."

Qiao Wei bit the good word, bi'er understood: "yes, madam, please don't worry. I'll arrange it right now. Miss Qiao, please follow me."

A pug who is fawning in front of him suddenly straightens up and calls himself me. It's really not used to it!

Qiao Yuxi glanced at bi'er coldly: "where are you taking me?"

"Go to your house." Bi'er leads Qiao Yuxi to the courtyard.

Qiao Yuxi looked at the grand villa: "are you going wrong? I should live there. "

Bi'er said, "there are only four rooms, one for the wife and the children, one for the master, and one for each of the two mothers. There is no spare room for Miss Qiao. Miss Qiao should go to the courtyard to have a rest."

"Small, small courtyard?" Qiao Yuxi came to the legendary courtyard. To be fair, the courtyard is more exquisite than any servant's courtyard in Enber mansion. However, in front of Miss Qianjin, who is used to living in pavilions and pavilions, she can't see enough, "what the hell is this?"

Bi'er took her to the end and said, "this is the house of Qi Niang and a GUI. This is my house. We are all in the workshop during the day and we will come back at night. Miss Qiao can come to us if you need anything."

Qiao Yuxi opened his eyes in disbelief: "where do you want me to live?"

Bi'er was neither humble nor arrogant and said, "there is no superior or subordinate here."

Qiao Yuxi hugged the burden in his hand: "I don't want to live here! I want to live in a villa

Bi'er said with a smile: "Miss Qiao, you'd better listen to the arrangement. Miss Qiao is here to study, not to be a big lady. Where does she live

During the conversation, bi'er pushes open the door. It's a very, very good room. It's narrow and has a western sun. It's used as a tool room. At the back, a GUI builds a small shed outside the workshop to put tools. It's vacant. "Miss Qiao, please."

Qiao Yuxi looked at the dark room and covered his nose in disgust: "what's the taste? It stinksBi Er came into the room and opened the window: "there is no taste."

No, it's just that Qiao Yuxi is used to incense. The room is full of expensive spices and fragrant. At first glance, it seems that the room doesn't smell so good.

I've been wronged enough to come to such a shabby place to learn farming. I can't bear to live in such a shabby place!

Qiaoyuxi gas rushed to the villa, Qiaowei happened to be in the courtyard to the rose watering: "things are packed up?"

Qiao Yuxi ordered: "I don't live there! Make room for me

Qiao Wei gracefully watered the flowers: "how can I make room for you, miss? Didn't bil tell you I only have four rooms here? All of them are full. If you really want to move here, you should go and persuade the two mothers to live in one room and make room for you. "

Qiao Yuxi didn't have the courage to go to Mammy to get moldy. He clenched his fist and ordered again: "you move out, or your father move out!"

"Why?" Qiao Wei asked jokingly.

Qiao Yuxi said: "I'm the eldest lady of Enbo mansion! My father is the Marquis of the emperor

Qiao Wei chuckled: "well, miss, since your father is so powerful, why are you still forced to come to me? You have the ability to yell at me. Why don't you let your father get you back? "

Qiaoyuxi angry, raised a slap toward Qiaowei fan in the past!

Qiao Wei easily clasped her wrist: "it's the emperor's decree that you come to me to learn farming skills. In other words, I'm your master now. Even your master dares to fight. I think you want to go to heaven. Hoe the weeds in the yard. Don't eat until you finish
