After resting at home for two days, the fatigue of the journey was swept away. In the early morning of this day, Qin mubai had just finished practicing martial arts in his backyard and was sweating. His elder brother Qin Tong and his second brother Qin bin dragged their children back to their hometown. It's still in the first month to pay New Year's greetings to my mother.
The whole family is happy together. Since lunch was half drunk, Qin mubai didn't dare to get drunk. When his elder brother, sister-in-law and nephew were settled, he picked up a pile of gifts and prepared to go out. His mother asked him curiously where he was going? Qin mubai said that he was going to pay New Year's greetings.
Liu said strangely, "you've been back to Beijing for two or three days, and I don't see you go anywhere except the imperial palace. The whole capital is full of Royal relatives, powerful officials and dignitaries, but you only bring a gift to visit one family. Don't you favor one over the other? "
Qin mubai then said with a smile: "Niang, you worry too much. I'm not going to visit any of the royal families in the capital. Now is an extraordinary time, I believe they will not take the initiative to visit me. But there is one family I have to go to, and it's OK for others to know. "
"Who's home?"
"Of course, it's my mentor, pharmacist Li, Duke of Wei." Qin mubai explained the matter. Seeing his mother and family goodbye, there was only an ordinary car left. He went out to look at Wei mansion.
It's a coincidence. Mr. Wei's mansion, which has always been closed to visitors, is bustling with visitors today. Find a way to find out, say is Su lie accompany with the king of Xia Jiang made a special trip to visit the Duke of Wei.
"Li daozong, king of Jiangxia?" Qin mubai could not help but wonder, "isn't he sitting in the Youzhou governor's office? When did he return to the capital, I haven't heard of that?"
"I don't know. Why don't the general go in by himself and ask. "
Qin mubai strode into the inner courtyard, and the servant chose a gift to follow him. Still far away from the main hall, he heard Li daozong, king of Jiangxia, laughing heartily: "ha ha, you big beard! It's really poisonous to still use such a rotten move! "
Li Jing also laughed: "it's the most effective move for Wang Ye, and it's not easy. I don't need this move. Which one do you use? "
"Ah! Xiao Wang's chess skill is still inferior to that of Wei Gong. I think it's not as good as that Li daozong laughs. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a tall and straight figure coming by the corridor Pavilion. His eyes narrowed and his face was surprised. "Look, who's here?"
Li Jing's eyes are not very good. She squints at her old eyes. It's not true. Su lie, who is standing on one side, bends down to attach himself to his ear and whispers: "my teacher, it's mubai."
"Oh, sanro, ha ha!" Li Jing stroked her beard and smile, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on her face.
Li daozong gave Li Jing a sidelong look and said with a sneer: "look, you are quite proud. What are you beautiful about? If it wasn't for Xiao Wang who recommended this boy to you, would you be as proud as you are today? How about that? Is Xiao Wang's recommendation absolutely right? This boy is a good material. "
Li Jing said nothing with a smile. Su lie arched his hand and said with a light smile, "Wang Ye has a good eye. The younger martial brother has great talent, but Su lie is far inferior to him. "
Just then, Qin mubai came over. From afar, he bowed his hands to meet his mentor and King Jiang Xia, and also to salute his elder martial brother Su lie. Li daozong and Qin mubai were most congenial, so he took him to the guest table next to him. For the first time, Li Jing bought two cups of sake at home and talked with each other.
Qin mubai brought some local products from Xiangyang, especially some warm tonic herbs and good tea from Jiangnan, and gave them to Li Jing. Li daozong was dissatisfied with Haosheng and said that Qin mubai favored one over the other. Qin mubai had to make amends and said that he would visit the king of Jiangxia later and offer his favorite Jiangnan tea. Li daozong gave up.
In the evening, Li Jing held a banquet, and the four drank a lot of wine. Li daozong was so bold and generous that he drank a lot of wine. Every time he drank, there was no wine left, so he drank more and got drunk. Qin mubai wanted to talk with his mentor and elder martial brother about the art of war in the army. Because Li daozong had to hold his hand here and talk about it. Seeing that it was too late, he left with Li daozong.
Out of the house of Wei, Qin mubai found that Li daozong had come on horseback, and he didn't bring an entourage. He was worried that Li daozong would fall off his horse when he was drunk, so he moved Li daozong into the carriage, but Qin mubai rode his horse to escort him back to Jiangxia palace.
Li daozong was really getting drunk. When he got into the carriage, he was still punishing. He said that he was only half drunk and could not be drunk. The carriage just started for a moment, but his thunder like snoring came.
Qin Mu Bai shook his head and laughed, escorting him to his house all the way. Knocking at the gate of the palace, the officials were afraid to receive it. They carried the king of Jiangxia into the palace and invited Qin mubai to the main hall to buy tea.
The king of Jiangxia was drunk, and Qin mubai didn't want to be bothered. But the housekeeper was so enthusiastic that he had to sit down patiently and have a cup of tea.
Just now he poured the tea. Steward Du of the Palace said eagerly that most of the prince's family members were in Youzhou, so the prince was drunk and there was no one at home to accompany him. I hope general Qin will forgive me. Another point. In addition to the servants of their group, there is only the prince's daughter. Because of her hospitality, the little princess was "willing to pour tea for the general.".
Qin mubai is busy. Li daozong, the master of the family, is not here. How can the little princess who has not been out of the cabinet in the middle of the night come out alone to accompany the male guests? Is it not a disgrace to the reputation of the palace to spread the news?
The housekeeper laughed a few times. As soon as he was introduced, he couldn't stick to it, so he arched his hand and left. Just as he came to the entrance of the main hall, a snow-white figure appeared and stood in front of him, whispering: "Uncle Du, does the general really refuse?"The girl's voice was like the sound of nature, without any impurity. Qin mubai couldn't help looking sideways.
Steward Du's body just blocked Qin mubai's sight, so he couldn't really see it. Just as he was about to get up, the girl in snow had already come in. She was soft and light with a smile, like the spring breeze caressing the willows. On a round oval face, her facial features were exquisite, and her lines were soft. She didn't use any powder or hairpin, but she was graceful and graceful.
Although plain faced, but worthy of natural beauty two words.
Qin Mu got up in white, bowed his hand and said, "it's unreasonable for Qin to disturb you. How dare you please the princess? Sin, sin. "
"The general is too polite." Snow dress female little light open vermilion lips shallow dew shell tooth of smile, fall of return a ceremony way, "general sit down, don't stick to reason.". It's not a princess that the little girl hasn't been granted. Don't let the general kill her. "
"Since the LORD loves his daughter. Bento is noble. " Qin mubai was not charming either, so he sat down and drank tea with his eyes, nose and heart.
With a smile, the girl in snow sat down on Qin mubai's side table, picked up the tea roller and made tea for Qin mubai himself, then added charcoal to the fire with silver chopsticks.
Although Qin mubai didn't have half evil ideas to defend himself. But the faint scent of a natural girl from his nose almost made him feel like a bird. I can't help but look at her tea. She is elegant and refined. She is not only skillful and convenient, but also elegant and noble.
Although he had a close relationship with Li daozong, Qin mubai had never met his family. For the little girl in front of her, Qin mubai did not know her more than a few words. Moreover, Li daozong's children are not in the minority. For a moment, it is difficult for Qin mubai to associate or understand her.
Nowadays, she is calm and generous when she sits alone in a lonely room. Qin mubai is not good at talking to her frivolously, so she has to drink tea in silence.
After a little time, the kitchen also brought a few delicate snacks. She didn't mean to see the guests off. On the contrary, they are sincere and want more guests. According to the current situation, it is reasonable for several men to make tea late at night. I don't know what it means.
The girl in snow clothes is still indifferent, but she doesn't feel that it's proper. After cooking a pot of yuxueqing Longyan tribute tea for the new year, she says, "general Qin, the young hero's heroism should not be restricted to the customs. And the general and my father have a good relationship. There is no need to detain snow geese like this. "
"Thank you, princess." Qin mubai arched his hand back, but he was surprised.
Snow geese? Li Xueyan?
Why is the name so familiar
"I've heard about the general for a long time, but I haven't been called. Although it's not a very good time today, it's a great honor to meet the general. " Li Xueyan said with a smile, "my father often talks about it, if it's about young heroes. Today, the only one in the world is Sanlang of the Qin family. So Xueyan was curious all the time. She wanted to see who the general was, and her father praised him so much
Qin mubai said with a smile: "the LORD loves Qin wrongly, and Qin is flattered. In fact, Qin is a layman. He is not as brilliant as the LORD said. I'm afraid the princess will laugh. "
"Otherwise." Li Xueyan smiles. But it was very natural. It felt like two friends who had known each other for many years were having a secret talk together. She said, "although it was the first time to be masked, Xueyan felt that the general's bearing was extraordinary. Moreover, my father's vision has always been good, absolutely not wrong. also. My good sister never praises anyone, but she never forgets the general. She is one of the few good men in her heart. It can be seen that the general is really outstanding. "
Qin mubai was stunned: "good sister? Qin did not remember when he knew the prince's daughter besides Princess Ai? "
"Have you forgotten?" Li Xueyan meaningful smile, "Xiangyang City, south facing building?"
"Eh?" Qin mubai suddenly realized. Almost blushed, "sin, sin! Qin really forgot She has worshipped the Lord as her adopted daughter! "
Chen Yan!
Speaking of her, Qin mubai couldn't help feeling a little excited and asked: "dare to ask princess, did she come to Chang'an with you?"
Li Xueyan smiles slightly, but she doesn't rush to answer. Orchid finger twist bamboo cup, shallow drink a cup of tea, light chant way: "general, really is a sentimental person."
In a word, Qin mubai was very embarrassed. Everyone knows that he is going to marry Princess Gaoyang, but now he is thinking about Chen Yan. Although Li Xueyan didn't mean to sneer, Qin mubai couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to stop. I thought, it seems that Li Xueyan is not unreasonable to come to drink tea with him. It's about coming prepared.
Li Xueyan raised her eyelids slightly, looked at Qin mubai, and then said with a smile: "looking at the general's situation, it seems that there are thousands of words to say and to ask, but why can't you open the conversation?"
"This is not enough to be mentioned in front of the princess. I'm ashamed. " Qin mubai said with a smile.
"How about talking to the general about current affairs and military?" Li Xueyan's words surprised Qin mubai.
He could not help but smile and said, "well, Qin is willing to accompany you."Li Xueyan nodded with a smile, but he was not polite. He took the lead in asking: "dare to ask the general about the peace between Tang Dynasty and Tubo. What do you think of it? "
"Oh?" Qin mubai blinked in confusion. This question is really strange.
Therefore, if the emperor hadn't taken the initiative to tell it, Qin mubai would not have known what happened recently. The matter between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was about reconciliation. In other words, this is the "state secret" discussed at the pre imperial meeting. Not to mention that Li Xueyan is only a noble woman, even if he is a general of the current Dynasty, how can he talk freely in private?
Qin mubai stopped for a moment, and Li Xueyan said with a smile: "general, don't worry. Xueyan accompanied his father and discussed this matter with his majesty, but he didn't divulge national secrets privately. The general is also an informed person, so it's OK to chat with him. "
Qin mubai was even more surprised!
One of Li daozong's daughters didn't cut her head half before. How could she face the emperor and discuss such state affairs with the king of Jiangxia?
I remember that Li Shimin once said that he was going to choose a royal daughter as a princess from among his royal relatives, and then marry Songzanganbu, who was from Tibet. As a result, the envoys of Tubo were displeased and left.
Is Li Xueyan the target of Tubo marriage?
Qin Mu white eyes in a bright eyebrow slightly raised to look at Li Xueyan, she is Qin Mu Bai this delicate expression close to the bottom of the eye, smile way: "so, the general certainly thought of."
Qin Mu Bai took back his eyes and took a sip of tea. Nod.
"Does the general think that Xueyan should go to Tubo and marry naxizong laozan Li Xueyan asked.
This question can be said to be a sensitive one with a diamond in its mouth. This is not just a question of what to do or not, but a question of political position.
There is no taboo in children's words.
Qin mubai could not help but smile and said, "this is a problem. It's complicated. "
"What if snow geese asked the general to answer in the simplest way?" Li Xueyan smiles with a trace of cunning in her tenderness. Bing Xueyan is clever and naughty.
Qin mubai felt a little dumbfounded and lost his smile. He stopped for a moment and said, "it's both right and wrong."
"The general is so cunning. That's no answer. Snow goose is not satisfied Li Xueyan looked at Qin mubai with a smile on her face, poured a cup of tea for him, and then asked, "if the general is not willing to explain clearly, he can simply point out and answer with one or two words."
"It shouldn't be."
