It happened that Zhu Yan and Chang Fuhai also rushed back from Changsha. After some discussion, they decided to arrange the marriage between Zhongli Jun and Cui Zhi. Since Zhongli Jun still lived in the Qu family, the Qu family was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
A happy event was held.
During the banquet, Zhu Yan rarely wore heavy makeup, and her lips were also painted in bright red. She is a beauty in her own right, and this time her makeup was in full bloom, she undoubtedly became the most dazzling presence in the wedding. Qu Gao
After drinking, he joked: "It's unfair, sister. I never saw you dressed up like this when I got married to my brother, but today you are dressed up for this brat!"
Zhu Yan looked a little tired, but in front of Qu Gao, she always held on to a smile. She blinked and said with her red lips: "How dare A Yan? What if A Yan is more beautiful than my sister-in-law and my sworn brother regrets it?"
At this time, Ms. Zhang was standing by. She smiled instead of getting angry and said, "That's not good. My husband can enjoy the blessings of everyone. There is no need to run to your Changlefang every two days like now?" She said.
What he said was sincere and did not seem like a joke. This made Zhu Yan blush with embarrassment and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, please stop making fun of me. My sworn brother is a good person who loves you. No matter who he identifies, it will be useless no matter how hard others try."
.”
Zhang continued: "How can I know it's useless if I don't work hard? Otherwise, I would ask him, if you and I fell into the water, who would he save first?"
Qu Gao said displeasedly: "You are pregnant, so don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Zhang muttered, bowed her head and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Zhu Yan was about to speak, but suddenly her chest felt tight and she coughed violently for a while before she stopped.
"What's wrong? Ayan." Qu Gao and Zhang asked with concern. Zhu Yan raised her head, forced a smile, and said softly: "It's okay, I just choked."
"Huh!" Chang Fuhai snorted heavily and wanted to speak. Zhu Yan glared at him fiercely and said angrily: "Today is Jun'er's happy day. I've been running around for months, so I'm a little tired.
, Brother and sister-in-law, please enjoy yourself, Ayan will go back and rest first." After saying that, he ignored everyone and strode out the door.
Qu Gao was worried and asked Chang Fuhai again. Chang Fuhai also said, "She is tired. Let her have a good rest!"
After Zhong Lijun's wedding banquet was held, the wedding banquet of Zhang Shilun and Miss Shen's family also followed. The ostentation of the prefect's family was naturally much greater than that of the Qu family, and the people who came and went were all rich or noble. On this occasion, it was no better than a family banquet.
It was so casual. Qu Gao and Zhang got up early in the morning, took baths and incense, put on fancy clothes, dressed up and put on crowns. After a lot of busy work, they left the courtyard and went to the banquet to entertain the guests.
"Brother Qu, sister-in-law, Wang Cheng is polite." Wang Cheng paid a visit to the two of them, and then said: "Brother heard that my sister-in-law's pregnancy was successful, so I sent a thousand-year-old ginseng to congratulate my brother and sister-in-law." Qu Gao and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly greeted Wang Cheng.
Take a seat.
"Brother Qu, sister-in-law." Shen Yihuan took off her clothes like a rabbit, trotted over, saluted the two of them, and said with a smile: "Brother Qu, now you are my brother-in-law's brother-in-law, you and I can be regarded as equals.
Brother, please don't bully me again in the future!" He was as happy as a child, with an innocent look on his face. In fact, Shen Yi's nature is not bad, on the contrary, he is extremely enthusiastic about his friends, but as a legitimate son of his clan,
The education I received since childhood was that people are divided into three, six or nine classes, so I have less respect for ordinary people. But he has no ambitions and a simple nature, so he is still very easy to get along with.
"Just one stroke is enough to hit you!" Qu Gao said in a calm voice with a deliberately solemn face. Sure enough, Shen Yi was startled, curled his lips again, and ran away.
Suddenly Qu Gao's eyes lit up, and among the people who came to congratulate them, several strange-looking people disappeared in the blink of an eye. Qu Gao looked around, but couldn't find them. He thought that his eyes were wrong.
Still uneasy, Qu Gao asked Zhang to go back to the courtyard first, and he continued to search along the corridor. As soon as he turned out of the courtyard, he saw Zhong Lijun coming in a hurry. Qu Gao greeted him and asked, "Why is Jun'er here?" "Didn't I promise you three days of rest?" Zhongli Jun whispered in Qu Gao's ear: "Today a group of barbarians entered the city. The master was worried that my uncle would be impulsive, so he asked me to tell him what happened. As instructed by the prefect, uncle must take good care of himself and not be tempted by others."
Instructed by the prefect? Qu Gao had many doubts in his heart. People were coming and going at the door. Zhongli Jun should not stay for a long time. Speaking of these words on today's day, Qu Gao had a vague feeling of bad premonition, but he couldn't help but walk towards Zhang You's side hall.
"Prefect Zhang is a smart man. Now our Zhao State is strong and victorious against the fierce tigers, while the Jin Dynasty is as humble as an ant, vulnerable to a blow. When our Zhao State's cavalry arrives, Xiangyang City will be in ruins. If the Prefect is willing to submit to our Zhao State, Xu Taishou will use the king of Luoyang as his If you are in position, you can move to the emperor's palace in Luoyang."
The voices of the barbarians who were not very fluent came from the side hall, and they were very angry. These barbarians actually dared to come and persuade them to surrender! They were secretly planning in their hearts: Now that they are here, don’t even think about going back alive!
"Okay!" Zhang You responded readily. This sound shook Qu Gao's mind like a thunderbolt. His mind suddenly went blank, as if it had been washed away by heavy rain. He didn't know how he returned to the courtyard. , I just remember Mrs. Zhang anxiously waiting for him under the solitary lamp like a bean. When she saw Qu Gao, her worry turned to joy.
Qu Gao was lying on the bed, motionless, but his eyes were wide open. Zhang had never seen Qu Gao look so lost. She kept lying on Qu Gao's chest, quietly listening to his breathing and heartbeat.
"Shiqi."
When Mrs. Zhang heard the call, she hurriedly raised her head and replied, "If husband has something on his mind, you can talk to Shi Qi."
After a pause for a moment, Qu Gao asked quietly: "What kind of person is my father-in-law?" Mrs. Zhang was suspicious, but still replied: "As long as I can remember, I have heard from others that my father's prowess is rarely matched by others. When I was young, my father was a general and fought for the Sima clan in the north and south. Later, because he was jealous of the Sima clan, he was sent to Xiangyang as a small governor."
"Has my father-in-law ever complained?" Qu Gao asked again.
"Dad is a hard-blooded man, how can he complain like a woman? I have never heard my father complain, but I have followed him in martial arts since I was a child. I know that he still has ambitions in his heart. Even now, if he can be allowed to go to school again Once back on the battlefield, I believe my father’s blood is boiling.” Mrs. Zhang said and sighed again.
Qu Gao asked no more questions, Zhang lay beside him and fell into a light sleep all night.
