blue shirt oath

Chapter 362·Ending
At the chrysanthemum appreciation party at the mansion of the eldest princess of Deng State, the young eldest daughter gathered together.

Pots of colorful and blooming chrysanthemums decorate the back garden of the princess's residence in a poetic and picturesque way.

The male guests and female guests were on both sides of the garden pond, looking at each other from a distance.

Atui had already healed his injury and followed Du Qi, muttering dissatisfiedly: "What chrysanthemum appreciation party? I think it's a blind date party."

He had heard that the eldest princess's favorite daughter, Princess An Ning, had taken a liking to Brother Aqi and wanted to recruit him as her consort.

Across a pool of spring water, the female relatives on the opposite side looked over frequently, how shameless!
He also vaguely heard that Ah Qi was not dissatisfied with the marriage.

"Brother Aqi, do you really want to marry that Princess An Ning?"

"I naturally don't dare to disobey important matters such as marriage, my parents' orders, and the matchmaker's words."

"Bullshit, if you don't want to, Brother Du will never force you." Atui said without hesitation, "I think you just like Princess An Ning. What's so good about the princess? She might be an invincible and ugly monster, and you can't marry her. You went out and used your power to force a marriage. Besides, if you marry a princess, you will have to deal with the royal family every day. If you are not tired, I will be exhausted——"

"At Cui, be careful!" Du Qi glanced at At Cui.

"What are you two gentlemen talking about, so dignified?"

The eldest princess came behind the two of them at some point, followed by a group of women, and a girl with a beautiful face and a smile on her side was supporting her.

"See the eldest princess, Princess An Ning." Du Qi and Atui hurriedly saluted.

"No need." The eldest princess raised her hand and looked at Du Qi with admiration, "He is indeed a good boy from Zhilan Yushu, just like your elder brother."

As he spoke, he smiled fondly at Princess An Ning beside him.

Princess An Ning has been shy since she saw Du Qi. Now when her mother teased her, she even blushed and bowed her head in silence.

Du Qi then raised his head slightly and glanced at Princess An Ning.

The young girl's intoxicating dimples were filled with smiles. She was clearly curious about Du Qi, but she was shy and refused to raise her eyes.

Du Qi was stunned for a moment. He had seen this woman before.

Even Atui was stunned for a moment.

This is not a super invincible ugly monster, it is simply a super invincible nine-day fairy!

"The chrysanthemums this year are very good. If you don't give them up, I will give these two pots of peach chrysanthemums to you." The eldest princess pointed to the two pots of chrysanthemums brought by the servant.

I saw the yellow stamens of the chrysanthemum in the pot were fully exposed, and the pink petals were long and hanging down, like a drunken girl, elegant, smart, charming and cute.

Du Qi hurriedly thanked him and accepted it.

The eldest princess added: "There are only two peach blossoms and chrysanthemums in Princess Ben's mansion. I hope Du Erlang will treat them with great care and never let them down."

"The minister obeys the order."

After the chrysanthemum appreciation party, Atui no longer opposed the marriage between Du Qi and Princess An Ning.

Returning to Du Mansion, Du Qi found a piece of paper in one of the pots of peach blossoms and chrysanthemums, with hairpin flowers on it written in small regular letters:

The coming of autumn does not mean seeing the spring flowers, but the spring breeze is one of the same family.

The chrysanthemum buds have already blossomed on the branches, and peach blossoms have grown on the chrysanthemums.

After Du Qi looked at it, he felt enlightened.

These two pots of flowers must have been given to me by Princess An Ning through the hands of the eldest princess. Even this letter was written by Princess An Ning.

A few months ago, Du Qi and Atui were drinking in Fanlou. They met a Taoist priest who was holding a fortune-telling sign and approached two women at the table next to him, saying that he would tell their fortunes for one tael of silver each time.

The two women seemed to be very curious about this. One of them took out his money bag and said, "Then let's calculate the marriage for her."

The Taoist priest accepted the silver coins and shouted, "The red luan stars are moving" and "The peach blossoms are destined to be committed."
In addition to studying, Du Qi also studied the science of yin and yang, and he knew at a glance that the eloquent Taoist priest in front of him was a deceiver. When he met a young unmarried person, he would say "The red Luan star is moving", and when he met a young person, he would say " "Family business is harmonious", when you meet someone older you say "wealth and well-being", when you meet someone doing business you say "business is prosperous". Thousands of people have different views, no matter what, if you make the other person happy, you will make money.

But this is Zhou Yu's fight against Huang Gai. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Seeing that the young lady was not in need of money, Du Qi ignored her.

He just looked at the woman opposite him from time to time. Her eyes were clear and beautiful.

Du Qi put down the paper and thought of something. He took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a few sentences. He folded the paper and put it into a pot of chrysanthemums. He called his personal servant and asked him to send it to the eldest princess's house.

The young man looked at the pot of chrysanthemums with a troubled expression on his face: "Second Young Master, that is the eldest princess's mansion. Why would you care so much about a pot of chrysanthemums? If you just send it over, will they open the door and let me in?"

"Just do as I say." Du Qi said with a smile, "They will let you in."

"Then what should I say if I go?"

"Just say that Erlang of the Du family is very happy to have a flower. He heard that the princess loves chrysanthemums, so he specially sent it for appreciation."

The boy left doubtfully.

The eldest princess's mansion.

Princess An Ning held the piece of paper and was overjoyed. She read and reread the poem written by Du Qi.

"I knew it, I knew it! He is just as I expected!"

I saw the top of the paper written neatly:

Xianyuan was assigned to the east of Lidong, and the agricultural flowers were shining brightly and the dew bushes were decorated.

Cui Hu's poems and chapters were made by Tao Lingjiu, and the two families mixed into one family.

The eldest princess looked at her little daughter who was smiling and couldn't help feeling affectionate: "It's so good that two families make up one family. On the surface, Erlang of the Du family seems to be upright, but he didn't expect that he understands Fengyue so well. We still have peace and vision." , the husband you choose is better than the others.”

An Ning said coquettishly: "Mom, please stop making fun of your daughter."

Not many days later, the Holy Emperor issued an edict, and the marriage between Du Qi and Princess An Ning was decided.

The second son of the Du family married Princess An Ning, and the Du family suddenly became very popular. People in the capital were discussing the marriage of this talented man and beautiful woman.

But Du Qingshan was very sad.

Nowadays in the Du family, Du Qingshan was once the emperor's teacher and now he is also the Tai Tu. Du Qi married the eldest princess's favorite Princess An Ning, and they played the piano and the harp with the princess. If Du Qingshan continues to be an official in the court, Du Qi will Qi is caught between the royal family and the Du family, and is rarely jealous of the emperor.

As a king, the most fearful thing is that his ministers have great power.

The more powerful Du Qingshan becomes, the more dangerous Du Qi becomes.

Fortunately, he had requested an order to decentralize the two Zhejiang provinces and stay away from the capital, which was another way to protect Ah Qi.

"Master said in his letter that I have been feeling cold for a long time. I wonder if he is feeling better now." Song Guichen looked at the letter from his master and was also very sad.

I have been away from Hangzhou for many years. Except for the master's visit to the capital once on his wedding day, I have never seen him again since then.

The old man was alone on a lonely mountain, and he didn't know if everything was okay. Song Guichen returned to his heart like an arrow.

Finally, he set off to leave the capital at the beginning of spring.

Gu Yi, Ziying, Liu Fengchun, Du Qi, Princess Anning, Atui, Zhou Qiang, Li Sisi and other officials came to say goodbye.

Li Sisi got her wish and married Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang had been depressed for many years because of Cuiniang's death, and Sisi had been by his side, which finally warmed up his cold heart. Now they both work in Ziying's Wanjuan Building.

A Cui expressed his desire to stay in the capital to accompany A Qi, although he was a little afraid of Princess An Ning.

At the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet that day, he complained that Princess An Ning might be ugly, but Princess An Ning heard it. This evil princess actually waited until she married Brother A Qi before seeking revenge on him. She really can't be judged by her appearance, she looks so weak. A woman who is so sinister and petty, and can hold a grudge for so long with just one sentence.

After Princess An Ning married Du Qi, she liked Song Guichen very much. Especially after knowing that many of the storybooks she loved to read were written by Song Guichen, she admired Song Guichen even more.

"Good sister, when you go to Hangzhou, you should also remember to read more scripts." Princess An Ning held Song Guichen's hand and begged.

Liu Fengchun laughed loudly: "Princess, my storybook is also very good."

"Hey, I don't like it." Princess An Ning said, "Your words are too miserable, so I won't read them."

Since Liu Fengchun signed the contract with Ziying, he has been as productive as a sow. He has a new book every month, and Wanjuanlou has made a lot of money.

However, Liu Fengchun's novels always preferred to write some poignant stories, which made people's livers hurt. Readers cried while reading and scolding. Many people even went to Wanjuan Tower and asked Liu Fengchun to rewrite the ending of every story.

On the contrary, Song Guichen's words were cheerful and made his aunt laugh.

No matter miserable or happy, Ziying is the biggest winner. She also begged Song Guichen: "Good sister, please don't delay the manuscript. I will send someone to the capital and Hangzhou to pick up the manuscript."

"Okay, okay, it will be too late if you delay any longer." Gu Yi said, "Brother Du, please send a message to my parents, saying that everything is fine with Ziying and me, and asking them not to worry."

"Okay, everyone, please go back and take care!"

The carriage creaked and creaked, and the mountains and water were one step away.

Spring scenery and flowers bloom all the way.

==
It's spring again, the lonely mountain in the West Lake.

A bouquet of plum blossoms was planted in front of the solitary grave, emitting a faint fragrance.

Song Guichen knelt in front of the grave, silently, and a white crane stood quietly beside her.

I don't know how long it took, but a woman's voice came from behind: "You are indeed here too." The white crane heard the sound and spread its wings and flew away.

It was Duan Xiaochen, holding a five or six-year-old girl in one hand, and holding paper money, incense, candles and other items in the other hand.

Gu Yi left Hangzhou for the capital, and Duan Xiaochen chose to marry Gu Sizhi instead and became the mistress of the Gu family.

"Of course I'm here on Master's memorial day, but why are you here too?" Song Guichen remained motionless. She didn't want to mention the past, and she had no resentment towards Duan Xiaochen, nor was she close to him.

"Once a teacher, always a teacher. After all, I called him master for a while. Of course I will remember his memorial day."

Duan Xiaochen neatly took out the paper money and lit it in front of the grave. He glanced at the plum blossom in full bloom and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "What's the use of a plum blossom? If you don't burn more paper money, Master and the old man won't be able to live down here."

Song Guichen looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, dressed in fine clothes and with a head full of pearls, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.

He could only watch her burning the paper money in silence.

When Duan Xiaochen saw this, he picked up a handful of paper money and stuffed it into Song Guichen's hand: "Come and burn some too."

As he spoke, he pulled the little girl next to him and said softly, "Little deer, come here too, burn some more money for Grandpa Grandpa, so that he can have food and clothing down there, and won't go hungry."

Song Guichen looked at the paper money in his hand in astonishment. Listening to Duan Xiaochen's babble, he suddenly burst into laughter. He separated the paper money one by one and put it into the blazing flames to light it. Maybe, the master, he really You need this "money".

Xiaolu Tongyan said: "After my mother dies, I will also burn a lot of paper money for her!"

Duan Xiaochen paused, then lowered his face: "Gu Xiaolu! Is that what you said?!"

Gu Xiaolu blinked his eyes and timidly said: "Then, after I die, mother will burn more for me - ah - mother, stop hitting, stop hitting -" Before he could finish his words, Duan Xiaochen chased and beat him.

The arrival of the mother and daughter made Song Guichen's nostalgic mood disappear immediately, and he quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Okay, okay, Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji, you teach her well, and I won't do it next time." Just say it.”

"This little girl can't spit out ivory with her mouth. I have to teach her a lesson today -"

When the three of them came back from Gushan together, Duan Xiaochen had already invited Song Guichen to have dinner at her house. Song Guichen thought that Qi Yuan was still at home, so he politely declined.

Du Qiyuan is also six years old, and Gu Xiaolu pesters him every day to tell stories about the capital.

In fact, he didn't have much memory about the capital, but he couldn't help it because he was the only person from the capital that Gu Xiaolu knew, so Gu Xiaolu didn't bother anyone but him.

"Brother Qiyuan, my mother said that she was in your mother's body before. Is this true?"

Du Qiyuan's eyes widened: "It must be nonsense."

"Even my dad said that."

"."

"Ah, I know, your mother didn't tell you." He knew more than Du Qiyuan. Gu Xiaolu jumped up proudly, happily playing with his long braids, and guessed, "Your mother didn't even tell you this. , she must not love you, ah, maybe, you are not her child——"

"Nonsense!" Du Qiyuan stood up angrily, his stubborn little face full of anger, "I'm going to study, you can play by yourself."

He came to the study angrily, but neither his father nor his mother were there. The huge house was eerily quiet, and the servants didn't know where they were hiding. Du Qiyuan found a book at random, but couldn't read it. Gu Gu's thoughts echoed in his mind. Xiaolu said, "She must not love you. You are not her child." The more I thought about it, the more wronged and angry I became, and tears fell down uncontrollably.

When Song Guichen went into the study to look for a book, he found the little man holding a book and crying quietly. He was immediately frightened and rushed forward to ask what was wrong.

"Mother, do you love Qiyuan?" Qiyuan raised his face and cried.

"Of course mother loves our little Qiyuan." Song Guichen lovingly kissed the little man in his arms and gently comforted him, "Did something happen to Qiyuan?"

"Sister Xiaolu said that her mother-in-law was with you before. She also said that I am not your biological child because you didn't even tell Qiyuan about it."

Hearing this, Song Guichen was angry and distressed, and said kindly: "Qiyuan is the child of my father and my mother. Both my father and mother love Qiyuan the most."

"Then, what Sister Xiaolu said about her mother, is it true?"

"Yeah, it's true."

"What happened? How could her mother be in your body? Where did you go?"

Qi Yuan looked shocked. Song Guichen picked him up and sat down on the soft couch by the window:
"That's a very distant and long story. Sit down and I'll tell you slowly."

　The editor asked me to revise it carefully, so I revised it.
