February is coming to an end, and the wind that ravaged Xizhou in late winter and early spring has finally stopped, and the windless Xizhou has become peaceful and tranquil.
Even though the spring is bright and the snow has melted, the scenery at this time is really not that good. Although the grass has sprouted buds at this time, it is still sparse and the flowers have not bloomed...it is not obvious at all.
The vitality of March in spring.
Even so, the majestic Tianshan Mountains and the clear moon spring... are still worth seeing. Qingrong was riding a horse and looked back. The Tianshan Mountains in the distance reflected dazzling and fragmented light under the clear blue sky. She closed her eyes.
, turned his head back.
The person behind her couldn't see her reluctance to leave. He couldn't help but raise his lips, hugged the person in front of him tightly with his arms, and said comfortingly: "We will come again if we have the opportunity in the future."
Qingrong smiled and hummed. The days passed really fast. Counting the time, Xue Shao will return to the military camp in two days.
Xue Shao took field leave this time and had some free time. He still remembered that he had promised Qingrong to take her around Xizhou when he was free. The two went to see the Gobi Desert, Yuequan... and...
She went to Tingzhou, which was rumored to have the largest number of Han people, and stayed there for a few days. Qingrong did not expect that although Tingzhou was located in Anxi, the regulations there were almost exactly the same as those in the capital. She even wondered if she had returned to the capital...
Speaking of the capital, Xue Shao also mentioned it to Qing Rong these days. Now that the most important thing for her to come here has been taken care of, he also asked her if she wanted to go back to the capital or stay here.
Qingrong said that she hadn't thought about it yet. Although she was not used to the climate and habits here at first, she had to admit that life here was much simpler and more casual than in the capital. She was selfishly reluctant to go back...
What's more, Xue Shao is here now.
Of course Xue Shao also wants Qingrong to stay with him, and it would be better if he could see each other every day, but this is a place where wars are constantly happening, and looking at the momentum that the Western Turks and the imperial court are getting now...he has to do it early
Be prepared to ensure your appearance is complete.
Qingrong knew how to measure in this kind of matter. Although she was willing to advance and retreat with him, her staying here would inevitably distract him and would not be beneficial to the overall situation. But if she left like this, how could she rest assured? She had also thought in private
After calculation, this battle will naturally be unstoppable... After much deliberation, the two reached a compromise. Xue Shao concluded: After a while, Qingrong will be sent to Yizhou. Yizhou is a hundred miles away from Xizhou.
Between Xizhou and Dunhuang, if it is really unfavorable, it is still a place where we can either retreat or advance.
Qingrong agreed.
Xue Shao leaned over Qingrong's ear and said in a warm voice: "The imperial court has sent an envoy of Xuanfu to Western Xinjiang. It is estimated that the envoy of Xuanfu will arrive before May. After that, if Ashina Hezhi does not
Action, I will ask Xue Chang to escort you to Yizhou around mid-May, and I will take care of things for you."
Qingrong smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
The temperature in Xizhou suddenly rose in spring, and people replaced their thick fur coats with light clothes. A breeze blew by, and the robe legs and sleeves floated, and the air was mixed with the fragrance of mud and grass, making people feel light.
Comfortable and refreshing.
Xue Shao urged his horse slowly, but he couldn't help but said: "Time flies so fast."
"yes."
Xue Shao glanced at her lowly and said with a faint smile: "In the blink of an eye, we have been married for three years."
It's okay if he doesn't mention this, but when he mentions Qingrong, he can't help but annoy him!
The first day of March happened to be the day when Xue Shao and her got married, and they happened to have arrived in Tingzhou... Xue Shao was the first to ask, "Do you still remember what day it is today?"
"Isn't today the first day of March?" Qingrong paused, then smiled warmly, "It's also the day we get married."
Xue Shao was satisfied when he saw that she remembered, "I thought you had no memory at all."
Qingrong shook her head and smiled, "Of course I remember it, why did you mention it so suddenly?"
Xue Shao looked quite serious at this time: "We must do something on such a good day, so as not to let it down."
Qingrong was a little curious and asked with a smile: "Then what have you prepared? Come and tell me what you want to say."
After saying that, Xue Shao picked him up and walked straight to the bed. Qingrong exclaimed, then put her arms around his neck and looked at him puzzled, "What are you doing on the bed?"
Xue Shao lowered his eyes and looked at her, and said with a smile: "What did we do on the day we got married? Shouldn't we relive our old dreams today? It's natural to do something different on such a good day... Sanniang has never heard of Chunxiao
Is a moment worth a thousand pieces of gold?”
Qingrong reacted as soon as she heard this. Her cheeks were hot and red. She couldn't help but glare at Xue Shao. Is this how he used the word "reliving old dreams"? She refused and avoided Xue Shao's kiss: "Don't... this blue sky and white sun."
, I don’t want to accompany you to do whatever you want.”
It had been like this several times, causing her to stay in the house all day long. Today she finally came to a new place, why should she still stay in this inn room? She didn't want to.
Xue Shao sat down with her in his arms and put her on his lap, "It happens only once a year."
Qingrong glanced at him lightly, and couldn't help cursing in her heart, why does it happen only once a year? Last time in Xizhou, didn't he drag her to have sex all day long? This is too poor an excuse? She persuaded around the corner.
: "You are always so careless and don't care about your body. Excessive indulgence is not good."
Unexpectedly, he said: "It would be even worse to endure it."
"You!" Qingrong's ears turned red, "It's just..."
Xue Shao leaned over to kiss her again, took over her words and said, "Yes, it's obscene. I know."
…
In the end, Qingrong still followed his wishes under his hard and soft advice... But who would have thought that he would drag her around in the house for a whole day, even asking for food to be delivered to the door, and then he would bring it to bed.
He fed Qingrong food. He had originally agreed to go out for a walk on the street that day, but now there was no chance. So from that day on, Qingrong looked at him as if she wanted to eat him alive, but it was still Xue
Shao coaxed her for several days before her anger subsided.
Unexpectedly, Xue Shao brought up the old thing again today. Qingrong couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch him, pretending to be angry and said: "Don't say it again!"
A few days later, Xue Shao received an invitation from the chief of the Western Turkic tribe. He was the chief of the Chumi tribe of the Western Turkic tribe. He heard that Chief Ashina wanted to find a son-in-law for his daughter, so he made this arrangement and set up a program schedule.
They sang and danced, and also took this opportunity to invite everyone to gather together. Since then, Chief Ashina had received a lot of favors from Lu Changshi, and Xue Shao also treated him with courtesy. In addition, Xue Fangji was well-known, and Xue Shao also
He was his junior, and because he had a good impression of Lu Kaiyan and Xue Shao, he also invited them together this time.
Qingrong will also attend this party. Cui Liniang was originally invited, but she did not plan to attend because she was pregnant.
Qingrong had long heard that the prairie people loved singing and dancing, and would have a bonfire party in the evening. She was a little fascinated. To suit the occasion, she even asked someone to make a few new dresses before going to the party.
Azhen lifted the door curtain, came in from the outside and said, "Madam, Madam Jiang's family is here."
Qingrong put down the book in her hand, raised her head and said, "Please come in quickly." Why is Jiang Xuniang here at this time?
After a while, Jiang Xuniang came in from outside, holding a box in her hand. Bai Li, who was following her, also held a stack of things. Qingrong could tell at a glance that these were the two items she asked Anjia Clothing Shop to make.
Wearing a dress, she smiled and said: "Why do I ask you to go there in person?"
Now Xu Niang is not as good as before. An Sanlang has a vicious vision. He values Xu Niang's extraordinary vision and clever thinking. He also feels that she seems to have a good relationship with Qingrong and intends to have a good relationship. At first, Xu Niang was not willing to deal with An's family.
After going to the market several times, Anzaburo gradually became familiar with the people there. Anzaburo also knew that Ouniang was an orphan whose parents both died, and she was helpless. So he began to
He planned to hire Xu Niang as the housekeeper of An's shop and let her take care of the business.
The conditions given are also very generous: you don't have to come every day, you can arrange your own time, and the salary is twice that of ordinary stewards recruited by the An family.
Xu Niang refused immediately at first, but she couldn't bear it. An Sanlang tried to persuade her many times. After all, An Sanlang was a businessman, and his words were nice: "Ms. Jiang, don't worry, our family in Xizhou has been doing business for generations.
The most important thing is to abide by the rules of this business. I will not go back on the terms I agree to. If the income is good, I can give Lady Jiang another reward. Although Lady Jiang is alone now, there is nothing wrong with making more money.
"
Xu Niang was a little shaken later. She also wanted to live like a normal person instead of living in the same house all day, but she still couldn't rest assured. For this reason, she even came over to ask Qing Rong what she meant if she agreed.
Will it cause any unnecessary trouble in the future?
Qingrong also thought about it and said, "It should be okay. Although you are the lady in charge, Ansaburo promised you not to show your face to greet guests and only focus on the things behind you. You don't have to appear in front of people often. Don't worry.
Someone knows you."
After going back and forth like this, the matter was settled. I heard that Xu Niang said that she was appraising jewelry and other valuables, and also keeping an eye on the embroidery workshop, looking for new patterns and other tasks. In less than two months, she, the lady in charge, was doing this.
Got wind and fire.
Qingrong looked at her, and felt that the dull and lifeless atmosphere that she had before had dissipated a lot, and her whole person was obviously softer and brighter... Actually, if you think about it, she is so young.
A flamboyant person can only live in a corner now. How can he be happy if he forces himself not to care and to see through it?
Xu Niang waved her hand and smiled, "Nothing's wrong. I saw that this dress was valuable, so I personally sent it to Madam, along with a belt." After saying that, she asked Yun Niang to help and unfolded the dress.
Several people couldn't help but exclaimed. Qingrong stretched out her hand and stroked it. The style of the silk skirt was not that surprising, but the fabric was unique. Qingrong came forward to take a look and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that Xu Niang made that muddy skirt?"
The silver is also dotted on this dress?" In fact, if you look closely, you can see that the silver is not dotted randomly, it is also traced.
Xu Niang smiled and nodded, "Madam, you have such good eyesight! I thought that since Madam was going to attend the bonfire party, wearing this dress would look like stars under the firelight. It complemented Madam's immortal talent, so it wouldn't be considered an insult.
Got this silk skirt.”
Qingrong looked at her and laughed dumbly, "Xu Niang is really...good at thinking and eloquent!"
"It's just a matter of learning and selling now. It's also a good idea I saw outside. I'll use it here. As long as Madam likes it."
"Of course I like it."
The two chatted for a few more words, inevitably talking about the singing and dancing in the grassland. Xu Niang was particularly curious from her tone, but she was too embarrassed to ask Qingrong to take her with her. But Qingrong is also a person with a delicate heart.
Seeing that she was interested, and it wasn't a big deal to ask her to go with her, I took the initiative to mention it. "Why don't you, Xu Niang, come with me to see something? I heard that there will be many young men and women that night, so we can go and see it."
