Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 9
Classmate Jinxiu's upside-down willow eyebrows finally bent down.She stared at me blankly, her eyes gradually turned red, her nose turned red, and all her ferocious aura was gone, as if she had returned to her childhood.She hugged me and burst into tears, "Mujin, only you are the best to me in this world."

I admit that at this moment, my heart is full of warmth, quite touched, and quite self-affirmed, but I still say it very humbly: "Little fool, there are still many people in this world who are very good to you, even Song Erge It's great for you too, isn't it?"

Jinxiu just cried so hard that she didn't have time to answer me.

This girl rubbed her snot and tears on me again, but since I have accomplished a lot in educating my own sister today, forget it.

I suddenly remembered that this dress was not what I wore yesterday, so, what is in that dress?
My heart sank, "Jinxiu, did you see what's in my clothes yesterday? It's, that's what you used to laugh at me, that quill, and some of the theories that Song Minglei and I wrote together."

She closed her voice, raised Lihua's rainy face, and moaned blankly, "We are in a hurry to rescue you, but the clothes that Third Sister and I changed for you are nothing." After she finished speaking, she Continue to be immersed in self-moving, sobbing hard.This is her characteristic, either she doesn't cry, or she must cry, and the whole world changes color.

However, this time it was my turn to cry.What if that white mask finds me with those things?And there is Song Minglei's calligraphy on the policy theory, maybe it will implicate him!
We spent the last few months of this year in anxiety, but the owner of Ziyuan didn't care about it, instead he hurriedly dispatched [-] soldiers to enter the capital secretly, including my younger sisters Hua Jinxiu and Biying who I just met. Sweetheart Song Minglei.Because something more important happened at this time, which not only affected the Yuan family, but also shocked the entire Dongting Dynasty, and even indirectly changed the fate of all of us.

In the 17th year of Yuanwu, Emperor Yingzong of the current dynasty was seriously ill. In order to pray for a speedy recovery, the reign name was changed to Yongkang.

In the first year of Yongkang, the suspicious emperor dreamed of a group of villains dancing, thinking that someone was "witching and wishing to curse", and ordered Dali Temple Minister Wen Fuyun to investigate the matter thoroughly, thus shaking the "witchcraft" of the entire Dongting Dynasty. Chaos" began.

After Wen Fuyun created several cases of "witchcraft" in the capital, Yingzong became more convinced of his own judgment, and instructed Wen Fuyun to dig Gu everywhere in the palace, and finally dug out paulownia wood in Fengzao Palace to make puppet.In his rage, Yingzong strangled Empress Lian indiscriminately, and threw Guozhang and Zuo Lian into Dali Temple overnight.Lian Ruhai was tortured to death in Dali Temple. Prince Po was suspected of instigation and imprisoned in Fangrong Hall by Yingzong. Empress Lian was the real sister of the original wife Lian.

On December [-]st of the first year of Yongkang, Lian Ruhai's arch-enemy, Zhang Guifei's father, Zhang Shixian, Marquis of Chuanyong, took the opportunity to unite with the anti-Lian family forces in the court and wrote a joint letter to force the palace, demanding that the crown prince be abolished as a commoner and the son of Zhang Guifei be appointed. Huaian Wang Chi is the new prince.Yingzong was so angry that he fell into a deep coma, and the medicine stone was ineffective.

In order to deceive others, Zhang Shixian drafted in advance.Yuan Qingjiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was calm as usual. On the surface, he helped Zhang Shixian to suppress the Lian family, but secretly ordered the captain-in-law, Yuan Feiqing, to mobilize the former army to secretly go south. In one fell swoop, he repelled the forbidden army controlled by Zhang Shixian, strangled Concubine Zhang Gui, and released Prince Bo.

On the same day, the original Shangshu issued an edict to the world from the dying emperor. Zhang Shixian, Marquis of Sichuan Yong, Wen Fuyun, Minister of Dali Temple, Zhang Yu, Commander of the Forbidden Army, and Zhang Yu, the noble concubine, used witchcraft to frame the queen and poison the prince. Chunyue, a maidservant doctor, fed medicine to kill the emperor, and wanted to endanger the ancestral temple, rebelling against the law, all those who participated in the chaos of witches and Gu were killed in the market, and the nine clans were exterminated.

Concubine Zhang Gui was demoted to a commoner and given three feet of white silk; King Huai'an was demoted to a commoner, given poisonous wine and buried in Dongling.

On December 25, the first year of Yongkang, Emperor Yingzong died at the age of 44, and the whole country was in mourning.Prince Bo, who was only 20 years old, inherited the Datong. He was known as the emperor of filial piety in history. His temple name was Xizong, and his reign name was changed to Yongye.

In the first year of Yongye, the new emperor issued an imperial edict to pursue Empress Lian, posthumously titled Empress Gongsu Ciwen.The Minister of the Ministry of War, the original Qingjiang pacification of the rebellion, was promoted to the left Xiangguo and granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an.The original Lian family was named Mrs. Qin.The prince's son-in-law was not originally a Qing worshiper of King Zhongxian.Once the national funeral is over, the new emperor will marry Yuan's elder Fang Yuan's Feiyan as the queen, and the Yuan's honor and favor can't be increased for a while.

In this event known as the "Simamen Change" or "Double Twelve Changes" in history, my family Jinxiu and Song Minglei made great contributions, because they were the first soldiers of the Yuan family who rushed into Simamen and bloodbathed the palace.Jinxiu captured Concubine Zhang alive who was trying to escape through the secret passage of the palace, and Song Minglei promptly killed the palace servant who wanted to poison the prince, and rescued the prince who had already been stunned by fright.

In the same year, the Western Turks on the northwestern border finally annexed Loulan.At that time, the Western Turks believed that during the internal turmoil of the Eastern Court Dynasty, they must have no time to take care of the northwest border. They invaded the Eastern Court in October, but they did not expect to encounter the most violent resistance from the original Qingjiang in the Heshuo area. The [-] army was defeated by only two The Dongting defenders with tens of thousands of troops.At that time, the general guarding the city was the youngest martial arts champion in the history of Dongting, only from Yu Feiyan, a fifth-rank flying cavalry captain.In a reckless way of fighting, he rode into the enemy camp alone, shot several arrows in his body, captured King Guhun, and then led the Eastern Court Army to kill more than [-] enemies, chasing the Turkic Army five hundred miles away. , regained the fertile Heshuo area and created a miracle in military history.

For a time, there was a sensation in the ruling and opposition parties.The great victory in Heshuo wiped out the unrest in the hearts of the people since the witchcraft rebellion, and Yu Feiyan's name spread among the people.Everyone said that Yu Feiyan was the reincarnation of Master Guan, loyal, courageous, and unsurpassed in courage.This elite army of the original family led by Feiyan is also known as the "Swallow Army" among the people. It gallops across the northwest prairie, disappears like a ghost, and becomes an out-and-out national hero.

In reality, Yu Feiyan told me in a letter that the reason why he defeated the Turks was that he was eager to come back and spend the New Year with us on vacation, so as not to disturb him this year.

The four of us were dumbfounded.In the letter, he specially thanked me and Song Minglei, because Yu Feiyan's surprise attack on the Western Turks was exactly our suggestion.This strategy is to let him imitate the famous general Huo Qubing of the Western Han Dynasty, train a division of tigers and wolves, support the army with the enemy, and then go straight into the Turkic interior to win by surprise.

For the Yuan family, this new year is glorious and thrilling, because the new emperor ascended the throne, and there are endless personnel, economic and international problems waiting for them to solve.

Soon, Yuan Feiyan returned to Ziyuan with his disciples who had made great contributions.In this way, on the one hand, they can spend the Spring Festival in their hometown, and on the other hand, they can personally come to pick up Mrs. Qin, the former stepwife of Qingjiang, to Beijing to show their filial piety.This also fulfilled our little Wuyi get together.

Our little Wuyi can finally celebrate the New Year in peace, and I let out a long sigh of relief.However, Song Minglei, who had undergone the Sima Men's Change, was favored by the prince, and had been promoted to a fourth-rank imperial guard with a sword, more mature and confident.He smiled lightly, as if Yu Feiyan's victory had already been expected by him.

In the early morning of this small New Year's Eve, I climbed to the roof to collect dried chilies, and only heard, "Fourth sister!"

That sound was like thunder, and I was so startled that I fell down, and immediately fell into an embrace.I saw that the man was eight feet long, with a leopard head around the eyes and a beard all over his face. He was Yu Feiyan whom he hadn't seen for a year.

The desert life in the north made him look haggard.His skin was dry and peeling, his complexion was darker, and his body was stronger.At this moment, he is leaning over to look at me with eyes like torches.

I couldn't help being ecstatic, "Big Bear, you're finally back!"

I threw myself into his arms and tugged at his hard beard.He screamed a few times in pain, but he was not angry, he hugged me around a few times, raised his head and laughed boldly, "Fourth sister is still as naughty as before, I miss your elder brother to death."

"Fourth Sister, your elder brother is now the captain of Shangqi, and has been awarded the title of General Guangwei. If you pluck out your elder brother's beard, the entire Northwest 'Swallow Army' will come looking for you." Song Minglei was behind us Said with a smile.Beside him stood the proud Jinxiu.

As soon as I got off the ground, Biying lifted the curtain and came out. She was startled when she saw a bearded man, and then she recognized Yu Feiyan, and she was also very pleasantly surprised.The five of us looked at each other and smiled for a long time, as touched as we were when we first swore.

On New Year's Eve, Biying and I were chatting in the house.After Song Minglei, Yu Feiyan and Jinxiu attended the family banquet in Ziyuan, they all came to our Deqing Residence.Unexpectedly, Chuhua also came with Jinxiu.

Yu Feiyan gave Jinxiu a fine beaverzi silver and white cloak, plus a lot of silk and satin.

And Song Minglei obtained a treasured sword from the Western Regions, named Qiu Jing.The curved blade glowed with a dark black light, extremely sharp.He didn't know where he got a Qingzhou red silk Ganoderma lucidum inkstone, the red silk inkstone is the most famous inkstone in the world, the quality of the inkstone is smooth and delicate, and the texture is natural and exquisite.Song Minglei thanked with a smile and took it.I can see that he obviously couldn't put it down, but he didn't show a particularly surprised look.

As usual, what Yu Feiyan gave Biying was still precious medicinal materials, but this time it was a box of precious pearl powder, which is hard to buy, which can not only strengthen the body, but also nourish the skin.In addition, there are two pieces of silk and satin, two delicately crafted emerald-inlaid golden phoenix palace hairpins, a pair of green and white jade pendants with double cranes and peony titles, and a pair of silver lotus bracelets.He solemnly said that it was specially asked for Biying when the new emperor asked him what reward he wanted in the hall.He said that the third sister was in good health, and young girls should wear more clothes and jewelry.

I looked at Biying's face full of surprise and emotion, and my heart skipped a beat.Yu Feiyan looks big and rough, but she is actually very careful. Compared to Song Minglei who gave us all the rose dew and silk satins, she was much more careful.He also seemed to feel sorry for Biying's helplessness, so he gave him a generous gift, and those words clearly implied that Biying had reached the age to leave the court.

Yu Feiyan also said that she did not expect to meet Chuhua's younger sister, so she took off the agate bead on her hand and gave it to Chuhua before preparing for the meeting ceremony.It was picked off by King Jingxia himself and given to Yu Feiyan.Chu Hua originally stayed alone in the corner without making a sound, but now he was very embarrassed, but he refused, and accepted it with a blushing face, thanking Fei Fei.

When it was my turn, I asked excitedly, "Bear, what gift did you give me this year?"

Yu Feiyan smiled mysteriously, carefully took out a long and narrow wooden box with exquisite carvings from her arms, and handed it to me with a smile.

When I opened it, I saw a dagger lying in the box. The handle and scabbard of the dagger were ornately carved and inlaid with rubies and emeralds.I drew out the dagger, and under the candlelight, the blade was radiant, and at first glance it was a rare treasure that cuts iron like clay.This is too precious!

I was taken aback, "How can I accept such a precious gift?"

Yu Feiyan didn't take it seriously, "Brother has no relatives other than the four of you. When we sworn brothers, we said that we share honor and disgrace, and share wealth and honor. Without the ingenious plan of the fourth sister and second brother, how could Yu Feiyan win the emperor's favor?" What about the favor of Lord Hou?" He looked at me dotingly, "Brother knows you don't like flowers and fans, this is King Yuhun's personal favorite, called 'reward', Lord Hou bestowed on me Yes. A few days ago I heard that you were attacked in Xilin, you girl is always brave, but you must know how to protect yourself."

I was so moved that I accepted it.Song Minglei's face turned dark, I think he must have blamed himself for not sending me back that day.I smiled sweetly at him and stretched out two fingers, which means don't take it to heart.He smiled back at me softly and nodded slightly.

Everyone sat on the big kang and made dumplings around the table.Seeing that the stuffing was not enough, Song Minglei went to the yard with a smile, and pulled out the radishes that made the nose and eyes from the snowman.

Jinxiu took the radish, carefully peeled and chopped the stuffing, not forgetting to chat with us about what happened in the past few years.Even Song Minglei, who doesn't talk much, said a few more words, enjoying himself.

When it was time to order the dumplings, we welcomed another rare guest, who turned out to be Yuan Feijue.As soon as he walked in, we all froze.He wears a purple gold crown with hair inlaid with jewels, a two-color gold hundred butterfly and red arrow sleeves with flowers, and a palace sash tied with multicolored silk and knotted with long spikes.The outer cover of the azure-blossomed Japanese satin fringe gown has long been scratched into a mess by hard objects such as branches. A few strands of red hair under the purple gold crown hang down in disorder on the sweaty forehead, and the blue satin boots are also messy. Stained with snow and mud.
