Chapter 187 Chapter Thirty-One

It has been half a month since Zhuge Yue went to Yecheng for business.Three days ago Chu Qiao received the news that another battle broke out outside the Yanming Pass, but it was just that more than 30 drunk soldiers rushed out of the pass to provoke Yanbei Longyin Pass and shot a round of arrows, and the Yanbei army died. Three injuries, but did not fight back. When this news reached Zhenhuang City, it was already ten days ago. In the memorial, the gatekeeper asked the imperial court to issue a call to attack Yanbei. All kinds of military supplies have been clamored, and there is still a large-scale civil unrest in the country. It is the best time for the Northern Expedition. If it is missed, the future confrontation with Yanbei will be extremely difficult.

Long before this, the voices of the main battle in the government and the opposition were already noisy, and this memorial added fuel to the fire at this moment, mobilizing Daxia's fighting spirit in an instant.From the government and the public to the people, there is an upsurge of responding to the war everywhere. The subjects of the Great Xia originated from outside the customs. They were originally a warlike nation. Everyone was sharpening their knives, and the civil servants of Yushitai set up a battle platform in Ziwei Square to accept ordinary people who voluntarily joined the army.A long string of names was densely written on the imperial list, and they were posted in front of Ziwei's door with such fanfare. Behind each name was a bloody fingerprint, which looked like a chill down the spine.

The people's enthusiasm for fighting is unprecedentedly high, and the Holy Gold Palace has been reluctant to issue orders. The emperor has relapsed in the past few days and has not been able to go to court for seven or eight days.Under the deliberate connivance of the Presbyterian Church, various non-governmental activities were carried out vigorously, and there were even self-organized guards from all over the country, carrying swords all the way to the capital. Chu Qiao sent four letters to Zhuge Yue in a row, but before he could reply, Zhuge Huai, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came to visit him, which made Chu Qiao quite at a loss for a while.

Zhuge Huai came here on purpose from Zhuge's family area. Although Zhuge Muqing had expelled this son from the family when Zhuge Yue was in trouble, after he returned with glory, the Zhuge Clan collectively lost their memory. Let's put this discordant past behind us together.Zhuge Huai, the elder brother who had fought against Zhuge Yue many times, was also abandoned by the family, and sent back to the territory far away. It has been three years since he left the imperial capital. And he came back this time for the wedding of Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue. A month ago, Chu Qiao's dowry entered the Zhenhuang City Gate in a mighty way, and the carriages and horses stretched all the way, with no end in sight.According to a rough calculation of the Zhenhuang garrison, there were more than 400 vehicles and as many as 50,000 escorts. The courtiers of Bian Tang were deeply robed and well-dressed, and they were completely royal guards of honor.

Joyful and noisy all the way, scarlet brocade paved the way, golden silk flowers sprinkled all over the sky, red gauze mantles, gilded treasure covers, 3,000 palace people in costumes lead the way, 20,000 beautiful troops are in full armor, and 20,000 wolf troops follow , The momentum is prominent, even if the emperor marries a wife, the empress canonize, it is not so luxurious. The people of Zhenhuang City were collectively dumbfounded, and even the officials of Daxia were dumbfounded.Li Ce has prepared a dowry for her for two years, doing extravagant things, and giving her supreme honor and glory. Even if he is no longer there, he still supports her in this way, so that she will not be punished. People underestimate.

Zhuge's family suddenly rose because of his in-law relationship with Bian Tang, and Zhuge Muqing, who had been ill for a long time, also returned to greet Bian Tang's wedding ceremony officer cordially.Li Ce didn't know what method he used to bring all the relatives of the Jing family who couldn't be dealt with at all. Although Chu Qiao had never seen them before, these white-haired lords and wives still saw her. She burst into tears, deeply expressing her longing and longing for her after not seeing her for many years. Some old ladies from the Jing clan lived in the Sima Mansion. Although Chu Qiao didn't have a good impression of them, Zhuge Yue still seriously ordered his servants to treat them well.For the past few days, Chu Qiao didn't have to go anywhere, but just sat in the room every day, listening to them teach her the customs of new marriage, teach her the responsibilities of a woman, and teach her what to do and what not to do.

The wedding was approaching, but she became more and more nervous, as if all the eyes in the world were focused on her, only she couldn't feel at ease, always felt that under the sky full of luxury, there was an invisible sharpness hidden, making her sleepless and restless . Zhuge Yue comforted her, saying that she was so happy that she was stupid, and she had no choice but to comfort herself like this, hoping it was just the tension before marriage, and not some unlucky sixth sense. However, after Zhuge Yue left, her uneasiness became more and more obvious.Immediately afterwards, Yanbei's weird battle report and the fierce warlike frenzy in the government and the opposition made her feel more and more uncomfortable.However, she didn't know anything, so she could only take precautions, quietly waiting for Zhuge Yue's return and their grand wedding.

She received Zhuge Huai very politely, and the two of them sat upright in the hall, gossiping a few words, listening to him talk about the mountains and rivers along the way, talking about Zhuge Yue's childhood anecdotes, looking like a kind elder brother like a father. The second day after Zhuge Huai's arrival, all the daughters of Zhuge's family came to visit.Zhuge Qing, the third young lady of the Zhuge family, was born of the eldest lady and has always had some status.Now she is the wife of Liu Wenpin, the servant of the household department. The Liu family has been scholarly for generations and has a considerable status in the Daxia clan. Today, she brought a few younger sisters who have not left the court together, and invited Chu Qiao back in the evening. Zhuge Mansion, meet all sisters and aunts.

Chu Qiao never thought that one day she would return to Zhuge's house in such a capacity. Surrounded by Zhuge Qing and others, she got off the sedan chair, and saw Zhuge's main house with a tall and solemn gate, and all the wives and aunts of Zhuge's house Qi stood at the door and lined up in a row. Seeing her coming down, Qi Qi saluted her. After all, her current status is not only Zhuge Yue's unmarried daughter-in-law, but also the first-class beauty king of Bian Tang, who enjoys the treatment of a prince, has fiefs, military power, and wealth. In the eyes of outsiders, she is almost the second in the Tang Dynasty. master.Throughout the ages, even if there are dignitaries in these rich and powerful families who have married a royal princess, how can anyone marry a prince from a foreign country?

The women present were all beautiful in pearls and emeralds, dressed in silk, and looked at her with smiles, as if the past many years ago was just a big dream and never happened. The sun was shining and the sky was clear and clear.Because the weather was getting warmer, Chu Qiao only wore a water-colored cloud-patterned wide-sleeved deep dress with low temples and a sapphire blue jade hairpin in her hair. She looked graceful and simple, yet she still looked dignified. Meetings, greetings, greetings, banquets, everything was done like a pre-planned show, how to walk, what to say, what kind of expression to make, Chu Qiao explained everything very well.The banquet was very lively, and several girls from the Jing family followed Chu Qiao. Some of them were not surnamed Jing at all, and some of them were just because a certain relative in the family had an in-law relationship with a certain person in the Jing family. , was also given the surname Jing, and accompanied Chu Qiao as her natal family.

Most of the drinks were blocked by these mothers and relatives. After the banquet, everyone went to Xihuafang to drink tea. There were more women and it became lively.These young ladies from aristocratic families usually spend their days enjoying flowers, embroidering and other pastimes, so it is inevitable that they will feel bored sitting together at the moment.Someone suggested that no one should compose a poem to meet today's scene. Of course Chu Qiao knew that it was the ladies of the Zhuge family who were giving her power. In the eyes of outsiders, she was a woman of slave origin, and her family had long since fallen. Here comes today's situation.At this moment, it would be embarrassing for her, a pariah born in the army, to recite poems. Sure enough, most of the girls in the Jing family showed timidity. Except for a girl whose father was a county magistrate in the local area, she barely made a song, and most of the others did not understand literature.The little girls of Zhuge's family covered their mouths and laughed happily, their eyes were full of gloating smiles. If she had just arrived here, Chu Qiao might still have some heart to compete with them, but now, after experiencing all kinds of life and death, she only felt that these wealthy daughters were so clumsy and boring to the extreme.But after all, it was the first time to come to Zhuge Yue's house with such an identity, and he didn't want to embarrass him too much, so as not to be laughed at by him when he went back.I had no choice but to randomly pick out a few poems that were not too subtle in my impression, and recite them perfunctorily. A young lady from Zhuge's family looked at Chu Qiao with a smile and said, "I have long heard that our future fourth sister-in-law is a talented woman with all talents in civil and military affairs. Today, seeing her is really extraordinary." Chu Qiao said lazily and perfunctorily, "I'm overwhelmed." Another lady from Zhuge's family rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "It's just that the name of the fourth sister-in-law in the future is so difficult to call. We discussed it for a long time, and we don't know whether we should call you Miss Jing or Miss Chu, or whether you should call me Miss Chu." He used to be a retainer of King Yan in Yanbei, and now he is the prince of Bian Tang, so can he also be named Yan or Tang?" As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the ladies of the Jing family on the side suddenly became uneasy.Now the whole world knows that she changed her surname after leaving Zhuge's mansion. Of course she doesn't care, but for the Jingmen family, it doesn't look good in face.This young lady whose name is Zhuge said this on such an occasion, and also mentioned that she was a slave of Yan Xun's family, obviously to prevent her from stepping down. She was not annoyed, but just smiled quietly, and said slowly: "Miss, if you don't know how to address her, you may as well call me Your Highness King Xiuli." The young lady's pretty face immediately turned pale, her eyebrows raised, and she was about to speak, but Zhuge Qing stopped her and said quickly: "The wedding day is not far away, we will call His Highness Fourth Sister-in-law, it is so kind." At this time, a maid came forward to refill tea, which was a bit embarrassing.Then everyone chatted about some gossip, such as whose lady joined a family a few years ago, and the other rich family thought it was a good marriage, but just two months ago, that man even took in three concubines.Another example is a young lady from a certain family who lost her mind and fell in love with a poor family boy, but her parents didn't agree, so she ran away shamelessly, and her life and death are still unknown. Chu Qiao didn't have the slightest interest in their topic, but she had to force her interest to listen. Suddenly, someone mentioned Zhao Che, saying that he had a crush on the daughter of the Patriarch of Donghu, who was also a barbarian from the Northland. The young ladies said indignantly that the bearded girl must have used some kind of seductive means to confuse the seventh prince, but it was wishful thinking to marry into the royal family based on her status. Zhao Che has had ups and downs over the years, and now he is finally in power, and has inextricable connections with the Zhuge Clan, so these ladies inevitably have some illusions about him.Chu Qiao heard it in her ears, but she didn't say anything to refute it. After all, the prejudice of family status in this era is indeed an iron law, and she can't afford to argue with them for this kind of thing.But the young lady who was reprimanded by Chu Qiao said in a strange way: "The Seventh Highness killed too much, which is against the way of benevolence. I heard that he was insane when he drank blood in the Northland. His mother clan is also a criminal. I'm guilty, I really don't understand why my sisters respect him so much?" The friendship between Zhuge Yue and Zhao Che is well known in Da Xia, and not everyone here has a good impression of Zhao Che, and it's just because Chu Qiao is here.She jumped out to say this again, obviously finding fault. Before Chu Qiao could speak, a girl named Zhuge Xiu interjected, "Eight sister said that father always taught us to be kind and be kind. It's no wonder that when Yanbei rebelled, elder brother would rather retreat to the territory than I don't want to get blood on my hands, and die and be killed." "Military violence, beating and killing, after all, is the business of humble warriors. With such an identity as the Seventh Highness, it is really chilling to do such things that are against the teachings of saints." Chu Qiao frowned slightly when she heard this, her eyes were cold, she squinted at the eighth lady, and said indifferently: "Oh? I didn't expect the eighth lady to study the way of benevolence of saints so much, then I don't know, if the whole country You all think like this, the enemy rushed into the capital and raised the saber on your neck, how should you react?" Eighth Miss was taken aback for a moment, her face changed slightly, and then she said: "I have millions of troops in Great Xia, and the gates are as strong as iron, how did the bandits rush in?" "Didn't Miss Ba advocate the way of benevolence? If all the soldiers at the border can have the awareness of Miss, then the day when Great Xia will perish is not far away." Eighth Miss stared and said angrily: "A poor family boy, how can he be worthy of understanding the teachings of saints!" "According to what Miss said, the dignitaries of the clan who know how to be educated by saints have to rely on the protection of humble children who drink blood instead?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from the corner, and everyone turned their heads, only to see that it was the county magistrate who was the father Miss Jing's family, the woman's face was cold, and she said indifferently: "What is the way of benevolence? The situation is so chaotic. Your Highness sticks to Zhenhuang, how can we enjoy a peaceful world here today?" The young girl was young, but she spoke extremely sharply. With a few words, all the ladies in Zhuge's family were shocked, and no one dared to speak. At this moment, someone from outside the flower room knocked on the door and said, "Miss San, Miss Biao is here." Zhuge Qing was taken aback for a moment, her complexion suddenly changed, and she quickly stood up.Just as she was about to go out, she was held down by the Eighth Miss.Miss Ba stood up triumphantly, went up to meet her in a few steps, opened the door herself, and walked in slowly, holding a woman's wrist. The woman was wearing a moon-white Ru skirt, her posture was elegant and detached, maybe the wind outside was a bit strong, and her temple hair was slightly messed up.She stretched out her hand to brush the broken hair on her forehead, and saluted all the ladies one by one, with a submissive expression, but no humility at all. Zhuge Qing's face was a bit unhappy, seeing that she was going to let her go down after she finished the salute, but the Eighth Miss took her hand and walked to Chu Qiao, and said with a smile: "Sister Su, you haven't seen this one yet. This is the well-known General Yanbei Xiuli, Prince Bian Tang Xiuli, the future fourth young wife of our Zhuge Mansion, and my fourth sister-in-law." The body of the woman surnamed Su suddenly trembled, and she suddenly raised her head, her half-bent knee just froze there, unable to bend any further. The faces of the young ladies around were different, with worries, fears, and gloating. Chu Qiao didn't know who this person was, but she also felt that something was wrong, so she stood up and helped her up, "Don't be too polite." But the woman subconsciously took a step back, not letting Chu Qiao's hand touch her, her eyes gradually calmed down, and she said softly to Chu Qiao: "Private woman Su Wanwan, I pay my respects to Your Highness." "Sister Su, the Helian family has already been defeated, and the fourth brother has also redeemed you from the official slave bureau. What are you talking about as a commoner, you can't tell..." Eighth Miss glanced at Chu Qiao, and said with a smile: "Sister Su will one day have the qualifications to be commensurate with the fourth sister-in-law." "Qin'er, don't talk nonsense!" Zhuge Qing raised her eyebrows, and said angrily: "Miss Biao rarely goes to the mansion, the journey is long, she must be tired, Tao Shu, take Miss Biao down to rest." "Wait!" Eighth Miss took Su Huhou's hand and said in a deep voice: "Third Sister, Sister Su grew up with us since she was a child, and she has a close friendship with Fourth Brother. Now that Fourth Brother is married, our sisters are here to visit Fourth Sister-in-law. Isn't Sister Su eligible to participate?" Zhuge Qing's eyes were angry, and a slender white hand was tightly clutching the white handkerchief. "Fourth sister-in-law, you don't know Sister Su, right? She is the niece of the second aunt, and she grew up with the fourth brother since she was a child. If she hadn't been pointed out to the Helian family later, the fourth brother would not have been single for so many years I think back when Sister Su got married, the fourth brother took someone to stop the wedding sedan chair and beat the groom. This incident has long been a good story in Zhenhuang City. Everyone says that the fourth brother has been a lover since he was a child. .” "Miss Eight, Miss Three, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you." That Su Huan suddenly said loudly, turned around and was about to leave.Who would have thought that Miss Ba grabbed her and said angrily: "I haven't finished my words yet, am I letting you go?" Su Wanwan bit her lower lip tightly, with tears in her eye sockets, she begged for mercy, "Miss Eight..." "It's really worthless, no wonder the Helian family lost so quickly!" A crisp "pop" sounded suddenly, shocking everyone on the spot in an instant, only to see a red and swollen five-finger print on Miss Eight's face. She covered her face and looked at Chu Qiao in disbelief. Pointing at her with his finger, he shouted, "Do you dare to hit me?" "Why don't you dare?" After Chu Qiao finished beating someone, she sat down calmly, holding a teacup, using the tea cover to shake the tea leaves in the teacup, raised her eyebrows slantingly, and said quietly: "Gong Yu, I am from Datang. Prince, you are a guest of Da Xia, why not punish you for disrespect by shouting in front of me? Yu Si, I am your future fourth sister-in-law, you are in front of a room full of sisters and sisters , pointing fingers at my cousin, even if Master Zhuge came personally, I’m afraid I’ll give you a slap.” Miss Eight was furious, pointed at Chu Qiao and shouted, "Jing Yue'er! Don't bully me too much!" "Do you believe that I dared to break your fingers?" Chu Qiao turned her head, her voice was extremely calm, but her eyes were like sharp knives, quietly gouging out the girl's cheek. Zhuge Qing quickly ran forward, stood in the middle, and said repeatedly: "Your Highness, don't be angry, Qin'er is young and ignorant." Chu Qiao stood up, glanced at Zhuge Qin lightly, and saw that although she was full of dissatisfaction, she did not dare to speak anymore, so she turned to Zhuge Qing and said in a flat tone: "Since you know she is ignorant, don't ask me to talk about it." Let it out casually, so as not to ruin the style of Zhuge's family." After finishing speaking, he took Su Huhou's hand and walked out of the room with a group of followers.The wives of Zhuge's family knew that something was wrong when they heard that Su Wanwan had entered the mansion, but they rushed here only to see Chu Qiao's back, and a group of people apologized and followed out of the mansion. In the sedan chair, he turned himself over and jumped on the horseback, and under the eyes of everyone, he rode the horse and walked away. It was already dark when they returned to the mansion, Chu Qiao was sitting by the candlestick, a circle of light shone on her face, with a pale golden light. Mei Xiang walked in cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Miss, that Miss Su, how should we arrange it?" Chu Qiao didn't say a word, as if she didn't hear, she just quietly looked at the light in front of the table, her eyes staring straight. Mei Xiang knew she was in a bad mood, but she didn't know if it was because of that Miss Su, who was about to leave.Suddenly I heard Chu Qiao say: "Let her live in the mansion tonight, and send her back to her place tomorrow. Send someone to watch over her, and don't let the people from the main mansion bully her." Mei Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, I wrote it down." "Mei Xiang, do you think I'm busy?" Mei Xiang was taken aback, and asked, "Miss, what did you say?" "Miss Su is an extremely important person to him. I don't feel much about the people from Zhuge's family trying to bully me with words, but I can't bear to bully her like this." The candle was golden, and the room was burning with agarwood, which drifted out softly. She rested her chin on her wrist and said softly, "They moved her out just to make me jealous." Mei Xiang only felt that Chu Qiao's left and right words could not be matched at all, so she asked, "Miss, are you jealous?" Chu Qiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Am I that kind of person?" Mei Xiang smiled quickly: "Yes, I also think that a person like Miss would not be angry over such a trivial matter." Chu Qiao looked at her carefully for a long time, making Mei Xiang's scalp numb, and finally said: "I'm tired, you should go to rest." Mei Xiang left in a hurry, Chu Qiao was still sitting by the window, showing no intention of going to bed. Not jealous?how can that be possible? But I can't say it's sad, just a little uncomfortable. Seeing this docile, elegant, petite, and pitiful woman, just standing there so weak, not to mention a man, even a woman, I am afraid that I will give birth to some traces of wanting to protect her desire. Look at her skin, it's so smooth and delicate, it's not like her own, after so many years of ups and downs in the army, her skin has long been rough.And her hands, I'm afraid I haven't done any rough work in my life, they are as tender and white as freshly peeled lotus roots. As for myself, I have been a slave since I was a child, and I have practiced spears and swords. How many calluses have grown?And her boobs... Thinking of this, Chu Qiao suddenly stood up and ran to the bronze mirror that fell to the ground. Well, fortunately, my breasts have gradually grown over the past few years. Even if they are not as impressive as the modern ones, there are always 34Cs.waist?Her waist should not be as thin as hers. I seem to have eaten too much recently and gained a little weight.But her legs must not be as long as her own, Chu Qiao nodded in satisfaction, she is still very confident in this point, Jing Yueer is good, she left a pair of long legs for herself, and after so many years of exercise, her figure has improved Should be very fit. She looked at her face in the mirror. Her eyes were not too big, but they were not too small. Her nose was pretty and straight. What about her lips?A little thin, not sexy enough, the teeth, the teeth are not bad, neat, and white, the face, it can barely be regarded as an oval face, the overall score of 80 should be no problem. At this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded outside the window, Chu Qiao frowned slightly, walked carefully to the window, then opened the window, and saw a young girl standing in front of her window, who was at Zhuge's house today. The daughter of the county magistrate who spoke for her. "What are you doing here?" This Miss Jing was slightly startled, but she reacted in a flash, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said, "Please help my father, sister, my father was framed by the superior officials for embezzling ink and food for disaster relief, and now he is in prison .” Chu Qiao frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I can't control Da Xia's political affairs. If what you said is true, when Zhuge Yue comes back, I can help you talk to him." The girl was overjoyed immediately, and said quickly, "Thank you, sister." "Get up, what's your name?" "My name is Yu Xiaohe." "Your surname is Yu? Then what is your relationship with the Jing family?" Yu Xiaohe quickly replied: "The second concubine my grandfather's elder brother married was the cousin of the daughter-in-law of Mr. Jing's brother from a distant family." Chu Qiao's scalp went numb when she heard this, and she thought to herself what the hell is the relationship, let alone eight poles, even eighteen poles can't hit it.I really don't know where Li Ce found them all, and I don't know how much effort it took. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little bit lost.It wasn't until today that she understood the meaning of all that Li Ce had done for her. If she didn't have this identity and this dowry, she wouldn't be able to walk straight into Zhuge's mansion today. Even if she didn't care, she couldn't help it. he considers.With all of this, too much pressure has been reduced both for him and for her. Li Ce, that man who always laughs and plays. "You go back first, I've made a note of this matter." "Thank you, sister." Yu Xiaohe gave a salute, turned around and ran away, with a brisk pace, like a swallow. Just as he was about to close the window, he suddenly saw a woman in plain clothes standing quietly under a tree not far away, without making a sound, her eyes were clear, like a faint moon. Chu Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and she smiled slightly. "Miss Su, it's windy outside, do you want to come in and sit?" Su Wanwan was sitting on the other side of the small table, with a demure posture. Looking at her from a close distance now, she does not look like someone in her twenties or eighteen years old. A bit of charm. She sat there without saying a word, Chu Qiao poured her a cup of tea, and sat in her seat with a smile, she didn't speak, so she also kept silent. How could Su Wanwan's energy-raising skills compare to Chu Qiao's, and finally said: "His Royal Highness King Xiuli..." "Miss Su can just call me Chu Qiao, there is no need to call me Your Highness." Su Wanwan was kind, nodded and said: "Miss Chu Qiao, I hope you don't take what happened today to your heart." Chu Qiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's going on today?" Su Wanwan's cheeks were slightly red, and she said, "That's...that's what Miss Ba said, about me and Xiaosi." Chu Qiao smiled, shook her head very easily and said, "I didn't take it to heart." When Chu Qiao said this, Su Wanwan's face turned even redder. She thought for a while and said, "Little Si and I grew up together. He is a rare good man with a noble background and a strong affection. I married He Lian Fu was helpless. He was young and stubborn at the time, so he would inevitably do inappropriate things. Over the years, I have also heard some things about you. Xiaosi is like this, as long as he values ​​people , always sincerely. Helian’s family fell into ruin, he redeemed me and arranged for me to live in his other courtyard. Chu Qiao laughed suddenly, she was slightly surprised, raised her eyebrows and said: "Miss Su, you are a bit different from what I imagined. You were just trying to persuade me not to take it to heart, but why did I listen to you? Do you hope that I can remember more in my heart?" Su Huhou was startled, quickly shook her head and denied, "No, no." "Okay, there's no need to talk." Chu Qiao interrupted her: "Actually, you don't need to explain to me. Zhuge Yue and I have had many ups and downs for many years. If I didn't believe him, I wouldn't be sitting here today. Talking to you. I understand your mood, so please understand me. It is inevitable that you and I are a little embarrassed, but those things are in the past after all, and will not affect our future. You don’t have to worry about me, but I have something to say to you, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back, the world changes, not everyone will always stand in the same way and wait for you." Su Wanwan fell silent for a moment, and after a long time, she slowly nodded and said, "I understand." "Miss Su, forgive me for being so straightforward, I just think it's better for you." Su Huou nodded: "It's okay, I understand it, but occasionally I still have extravagant hopes. Maybe this is retribution. I left him because of my power back then, and now I am destined to end up with nothing." Chu Qiao smiled and said: "Life is like a chess game. Although you make a wrong move and lose a piece of territory, you may not be able to find the feeling of victory in other positions. I have been more discouraged than you, and I am more frustrated than you." It was a decadent day, but I still persisted and made it through. Miss Su, you are still young, there is no need to sentence yourself to death for life because of one incident." Su Wanwan stood up, smiled quietly, and said, "Thank you, don't worry about me, you and Xiaosi are getting married soon, you have to take good care of him in the future." Chu Qiao nodded: "I will." Then Su Wanwan walked out of the room, her thin back was illuminated by the light, and she hung faintly on the ground.At some point outside, spring rain began to fall again, lightly falling on her body, and the willow branches all over the garden were stained with frost, gradually disappearing her figure. Chu Qiao suddenly remembered the portrait she saw in Qingshanyuan many years ago. The girl was dressed in a goose yellow dress, and her smile was as bright as a blooming peony. She was talking about others, but she was actually talking about herself. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. But since this journey, how many times has Zhuge Yue given her the opportunity to look back? Su Huan was unfortunate, but she was so lucky. She leaned against the door frame and looked at the eastern sky, a gloomy darkness with no light in sight. when will you be back She sighed helplessly, the night wind blew up, raising her hair at the temples, bringing with it a trace of moisture from the night. Back in the room, took a shower, loosened his hair, barefooted in white pajamas, got under the quilt full of his smell, and suddenly saw the letter beside the pillow.It wrote her opinions on the Yanbei War in detail, and it was full of eloquence. This is to be sent to Zhuge Yue, but I haven't finished writing it yet. Yan Xun is not someone who will show weakness, if he acts tough, then maybe there is something wrong inside him.If he behaved weakly, then he really had to think about whether he was going to make any big moves. Why! Chu Qiao frowned and pondered, hoping that he really had no power to fight and could fight against Da Xia after Zhao Che ascended the throne. Thinking of the weird man she met that night, and that terrible dream, her head ached slightly. nothing will happen, right? She thought like this, but felt that her thoughts were becoming less and less firm. I hope not.
