The happy life of the devil and the devil

Even if the Emperor Tiantong issued an order overnight with the dignity of an emperor, there would be thousands of people in Xuanjiawei, and it would be too late to make clothes now.Therefore, even though it was a pity, Yuan Shao still watched Ling Yucheng's soldiers in full uniform, lined up in rows, standing in rows, and it became a unique scenery among the colorful flow of people on the grassland.

This year, when Xuanjiawei returned triumphantly, the number of people brought to the hunting ground was nearly double that of last year.These days, from soldiers to generals, those who were not on duty invited their friends and companions, some went by themselves, and some were pulled out by familiar officers in other armies to shoot horses and shoot arrows, and so on.Because people who go to play weigh their own abilities, they always end up with some confidence. After a few days, the gains are actually good, which is very impressive.

This day was another day for lectures on the art of war, and Ling Yucheng was alone in the tent grinding ink and brushing paper, writing vigorously.The soldiers outside knew the habits of the adults, and they all held their breath and concentrated, not daring to move a little. Suddenly, they heard the horse's hooves were messy, and a young girl's clear and angry voice approached from a distance:

"Han family, come out! You dare to be a coward! If you have the guts to win me in a horse race, why don't you have the guts to take my belt! Come out! If it's a man, come out!"

The sound was like a silver bell, and the whip was rustling, interspersed with a familiar voice of justification: "You girl is so unreasonable! You won a horse race, and you forced a strange man to take your personal things! And you chased men all over the ground—" —Hey, let go!"

Ling Yucheng listened intently for a moment, and almost burst out laughing.Picking up the curtain and going out, I saw a girl in red sitting high on the saddle, pointing forward with her slender fingers, biting her red lips tightly with her white teeth, tears rolling in her eye sockets in anger.The horse under the seat stamped its hooves uneasily, snorting and snorting, and jumped up rashly through the fence of the camp.On the inside of the fence, his favorite general, Xi Jun, had several whip marks on his clothes on his shoulders, holding a whip with one hand, apparently just snatched it from the girl.

"what happened?"

"grown ups!"

Seeing him coming out, all the soldiers turned around and saluted.Xi Jun's expression was particularly aggrieved: "My lord, look at this..."

"They call you an adult?" The girl jumped off the horse lightly, turned her head to look at Ling Yucheng, a look of shock flashed across the Yingying Qiubo, she turned her head to look at Xi Jun, and finally felt that she was chasing him all the way with a whip The young man who came over was more important. He bit his lip and said with a stampede, "Are you their master? You tell him to marry me!"

Ling Yucheng held back a smile and gave Xi Jun a comforting look, and stared at the girl in red.This girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, her black hair was braided into thin braids, the braids were slightly skirted, and the golden bells on top of her fingers jingled.Holding the silver bow inlaid with coral in one hand, pointing to Xi Jun's face with the other, the colorful tassels on the sheepskin boots swayed gently when he stomped his feet. A young man should have such a natural publicity.

I don't know which noble lady it is?If the family is suitable, it is actually a good marriage - his subordinates are outsiders after all, and it is actually a good thing that they can marry each other with the nobles of Beiliang.

Such thoughts flashed through his mind, Ling Yucheng straightened his expression, and shook his head lightly at the woman in front of him:

"Since the girl knows that we are Xia people, you should know that Xia people's children are talking about the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can a girl talk about marriage by herself? - Go back, if your parents allow, invite them to come and talk That's it."

"But he beat me! Daddy allowed me to choose someone at the jockey meeting! You let him go with me!" As he spoke, he turned his head, ignored Ling Yucheng again, pointed at Xi Jun and shouted: " You can't get out! Coward, what kind of a hero are you to stay at home and rely on other people's backing!"

Ling Yucheng smiled wryly and shook his head.Looking left and right, the soldiers surrounded by the camp all turned their heads away, with horrible expressions on their faces.In fact, this kind of big hunting was originally a good time for the noble girls of Beiliang to choose their lovers. There were many young heroes from poor families who won beauties here.On the contrary, a few goddaughters of the Xia people's family wanted to be chaste, quiet and virtuous, and never got involved in such things.

All of Ling Yucheng's subordinates and guards had heard of these inside stories, but Xi Jun, who had been in Qingzhou for a year, was completely ignorant.Looking at him like this, it was obvious that he stepped in by mistake, and then he was frightened.

Well, the noble girl from Beiliang is straightforward and enthusiastic. In the eyes of Xia people, she probably thinks that she is arrogant and unruly.If two people don't share their temper, this family still can't do it...

After thinking about it, he was pulled back to his senses by the sound of hoofbeats like the wind below.The young man in brocade who rushed over quickly saw that he was the elder brother of the girl. Seeing his sister standing at the gate of Xuanjiawei's camp, he yelled a few words inside and pointed at Ling Yucheng, his face turned pale with fright, and he rushed forward to cover her The mouth is dragged back.I don't know what was said in her ear, the girl was still struggling at first, but gradually calmed down, and was dragged back smoothly.

Ling Yucheng endured and endured, facing Xi Jun's sad baby face, he finally didn't burst out laughing on the spot, and turned around to recruit him.

"Actually, this girl is pretty good—" Before he could finish his sentence, Xi Jun knelt down profusely in sweat.

"Hey, what is this for?"

"I beg your lord to decide—"

Ling Yucheng was just about to say "I won't promise you to another girl if you don't want to", when Xi Jun said it in one breath.The more he listened, the more dignified his expression became. Finally, he sighed and reached out to help:

"Get up. I can't decide this matter, so I will find an opportunity to ask His Majesty later. However, even if His Majesty agrees, you have to wait, do you understand?"

"Your subordinate understands!" Thinking a little for himself, he actually asked Mr. Labor to ask His Majesty. Xi Jun was grateful and apologetic, bowed his head and said, "My lord, if it's too embarrassing, you don't have to—"

"What are you talking about? You are my people, so I will naturally plan for you. Keep your mouth shut until the matter is finalized, remember?"

"Subordinates never dare to divulge half a word!"

Ling Yucheng waited wholeheartedly for the girl's family to come, so as to politely decline the marriage.However, after waiting and waiting, no one came to the door. Until dinner time, as soon as he stepped into the tent door, he saw Yuan Shao raised his head from the table and looked him up and down:

"Come, come, show me—I heard that you went to a horse race today, but was dragged back to the tent by a girl with a riding whip all the way?"

...the rumor spread...

Ling Yucheng wiped off his cold sweat, and just as he was about to defend himself, he saw Yuan Shao's eyes pulsating with a narrow smile.With a move in my heart, I smiled slightly at his playful look:

"How dare the minister?"

"You..." Yuan Shao shook his head boringly, and stretched out his hand to guide him to sit down.The people came over immediately to serve the dishes, roe deer, deer, rabbits, wild ducks and geese, and the table was full.Yuan Shao casually used a few chopsticks, drank a cup of wine, and seeing Ling Yucheng fill it up for him casually, raised his hand slightly to signal him to take it easy, and then continued the topic just now:

"It's not you, it's not you, dare not do anything? You are too restrained... Speaking of which, the girl's father came to see me today and said a few good things. ——Then, the game on the table is They brought..."

Shouldn't it be the man who brought the geese to the door... Ling Yucheng slandered silently, put down his chopsticks and replied seriously: "Xi Jun is indeed good."

"Is that the young man you specially brought to meet me that day?" Yuan Shao still had a good impression of the baby face that caused him to misjudge his age, "The one who has been sitting in Qingzhou for you all the time? It's the right family...that girl is from the clan The daughter of the side branch of your family, her father is the cousin of the Hussar General, and she is worthy of the number two under your command."

Ling Yucheng recalled it quickly.The current hussar general is Yuan Shao's uncle and the son of Lao Zhu Guozong. His cousin, as long as he is not too incompetent, he can always be a number [-] figure in the hussar guard.Girls of this kind of background are mostly married to the same family in Beiliang. As long as the husband and son-in-law make progress, they will not be able to be the leader of an army in the future, and they will also be high-ranking officials in the army.

However, not to mention the difference between Yi and Xia, the north and the south, the difference between the aristocratic family and the humble boy is even more insurmountable.The fact that the Zong family was willing to marry the daughter of the patriarch's cousin, even if it was because of Xi Jun's high position at a young age, was due to the goodwill of the rich family of the Tie Le tribe to Xuanjiawei, let alone the old family of Beiliang. Well, since the Son of Heaven mother clan has spoken, it cannot be easily refuted.

pity……

"I'm in a difficult situation. Xi Jun actually fell in love with someone who shouldn't be. I don't even know how to speak to His Majesty—"

"Which noble girl has he taken a fancy to? Could it be the eldest daughter?" Yuan Shao was very interested, straightened up, and leaned forward with his elbows on the table.As he asked, he thought to himself, as long as the girl's background is not too high, she can be the master for him.Uncle has to spend some brains to appease her, but it doesn't matter, she is just a clan daughter, not uncle's granddaughter.

Of course, I can't easily agree - it's rare that Ling Yucheng has such a hesitant look, I'm really sorry for not teasing me well...

"It's not a lady... she's the lady in charge of His Majesty's eleventh prince."

Speaking like this, Ling Yucheng himself was a little nervous, although he was more than half sure that it could be done, but if he was unlucky, Xi Jun might be charged with spying on the inner palace, or even being banned.Even if he can stand in front of His Majesty, leaving such an impression will inevitably be detrimental to Xi Jun in the future.

"..."

Yuan Shao raised his head and searched his memory to find that person.Speaking of which, he also picked the person himself. At that time, there were five or six people led by the head of the inner court to stand in front of him. The female official was not the most outstanding one at a glance, but she had a gentle and serene atmosphere.After being dispatched, he has always been able to do well. Except for the time when Xiao Shi fell ill, he has been raised very well and never let him worry about it.But these are not the main thing, the key is——

"Why are you from the palace?"

"The minister entered the inner palace once a few days ago, and Xi Jun accompanied him, and that was the time he got it right."

"Oh—" Ling Yucheng did bring a few people in that day.Since it's on business, forget it, and it's not that the young man is so cowardly, sneaking in to hook up with the maid.Yuan Shao thought like this, but suddenly realized, "So it was love at first sight?"

In fact, it was love at first sight.After serving in the army for three years, a sow is as good as Diaochan, let alone such a beautiful woman.If he hadn't really thought about that person, Xi Jun wouldn't have dared to beg him knowing that he didn't agree.However, at this time Ling Yucheng could only smile wryly:

"Your Majesty is serious. How dare he fall in love with His Majesty's person at first sight? He just thinks that the girl is nice. If it wasn't for what happened today, he wouldn't dare to speak to the minister."

He is a man who knows how to measure.Now that Ling Yucheng has spoken, it is not impossible to give him a mere female official.While muttering like this, the topic changed: "Then you want me to tell my uncle that the girls from his clan are not as good as a little female official in my harem?"

I knew it was like this... Ling Yucheng smiled on his face, and lamented in his heart, begging His Majesty to do things is getting more and more troublesome.The last time he knocked away two hundred bolts of newly released feather satin, the last time it was five hundred finely forged long knives, and the last time...

Forget it, I just made a sum of money during the war a few days ago. In the future, when Dayu comes to seek peace negotiations, he will always be able to make another payment. Recently, the money just happens to be loose.At worst, it will be deducted from the wedding gift for that boy Xi Jun...

"I beg Your Majesty to block you for me." Leaning forward, he poured another glass of wine for Yuan Shao, "In three to five years, I'm afraid it's not suitable for me to marry any rich and noble people."

Yuan Shao took a fixed look at Ling Yucheng, and suddenly burst out laughing. "You really dote on them. As for what? That female officer is so nice that you can even give up the chance to marry the Zong family?"

"I asked the female officer a few words, and then I saw how she took care of Xiao Shiyi. She has a kind temper and a wise heart." It can make the little prince avoid his own taboos, and it can arouse his pity and love for the little guy, and even more so. When he came in a rage, he dared to protect his subordinates, "and he knows how to be respectful. Xi Jun's acting minister is in charge of Qingzhou. It is his blessing to have such a good helper." In other words, he is more suitable to marry as the first lady of Qingzhou , not a rich and noble daughter who has a family and is naive and ignorant of the world.

Marrying a wife and a virtuous person is more important than family background and appearance.If it wasn't for such a rare and good woman, how could he ask His Majesty?

"As for pampering them..." His voice gradually dropped, "As a general, I should have planned for my subordinates."

I owe them.

If I hadn't acted carelessly and caused this great change, most of them in northern Xinjiang will soon have or already have a happy family.When some people went north with me, they were even kicked out by their wives, and they were not even allowed to hug their infant children.

So, if I don't plan for them, and don't try my best to make their wishes come true, how can I feel at ease?

"It makes sense." Seeing the sadness in Ling Yucheng's brows and eyes, Yuan Shao knew what he was thinking without guessing, even though he felt that he was a bit tricky, he wouldn't say anything about him. "However, I still can't promise you—"

"His Majesty?"

"You know, Little Eleven is still young."

"Even if His Majesty agrees, I have no intention of getting them married right now... Lang'er has to be surrounded by competent people. We will wait until he is a few years older and the next batch of people can be recruited..."

Yuan Shao took a sip from the wine glass, listened to Ling Yucheng hurriedly explaining in a low voice, and hummed absently a few times.It's really interesting to see him surprised and disappointed, and then obviously relieved... After drinking a glass of wine slowly, seeing Ling Yucheng's lack of words, he waved his hand casually:

"Okay, I agree. This little thing... eat and eat!" Before Ling Yucheng got up to thank him, he pierced a leg of lamb with a short knife and threw it directly on his plate.

After dinner, Ling Yucheng was thinking about tonight's lecture, and also thinking about going back early to tell Xi Jun the good news, so he left in a hurry.As soon as he reached the entrance of the tent, he was stopped by Yuan Shao.

"His Majesty?"

After asking a question but not answering, Ling Yucheng stopped and turned around, and saw Yuan Shao walking over slowly, passing him by, bowing his head and turning sideways, his warm breath and smile brushing past his ears:

"A mere female official, in fact, you can make the decision yourself, what do you have to say to me?"

"……His Majesty!"
