On the Chu River, Zhuge's awning boat was swaying with the waves. As night fell, Shu'er lit the candles in the boat.

Lin Ying was playing with the red porcelain cup in her hand. There was the last sip of wine left in the wine cup. He looked at Shu'er beside the weak candlelight and sighed in his heart, the twelve years of fruit wine will eventually be finished with you.

Sister Shu'er, when we first met, I was a five-year-old kid who couldn't speak fluently, and you were a nine-year-old sister who beat away several cousins ​​for me in the orange forest. That year my grandfather died, and my father asked me to go with him.

When my mother left Prince Sheng's Mansion, I was very reluctant to leave, but because you were with me all the way, from Chu to Shu, and then to Chen to open a shop and live in peace, I have actually lived a very happy life these years.

Until you sent me back to Prince Sheng's Mansion again, we traveled wildly between Zhao and Song, won the first place in the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce, and also offended the Song Empress Dowager, but in fact... I was worried about returning home, not because of homesickness, but because I was afraid that we would be together.

Separation means today cannot be yesterday.

You left Yudu at the age of seven, and you didn't have a deep impression of Yudu. How can I feel homesick when I left Yuling at the age of five? What I miss is that I was my father back then, and today, I am you.

I feel that I have grown old overnight, not because you got married, but because, after a period of sadness, I suddenly felt proud and happy for you. You have found a good home for yourself, and you will get what you want. You and I

The love that we have spent day and night together for more than ten years has nothing to do with romance, and romance will never end. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of that period of innocence and wandering?

Lin Ying raised the red porcelain wine glass with gentle eyes: "Sister Shu'er, this pot of hundred-fruit aged wine has colorful and complex flavors. With the last glass, I would like to toast to you the meal we had together in Chen Guofan Jing, the stories we listened to together, the business we opened together, and the

Look at the moon."

Shu'er smiled, but couldn't help but choked up. She hurriedly lowered her head to wipe her tears, but saw that the wine in her glass had been finished. She picked up the jug and tried to fill it up, but there was not a drop left in the jug.

Lin Ying poured half of the wine in her glass into Shu'er's glass. With a crisp "ding", the two clinked their glasses and drank.

Lin Ying looked with satisfaction at Shu'er, whose eyes were slightly red and swollen.

Shu'er, this pot of fruit wine was brewed by my mother and Aunt Yan for us when they went to Fanjing to open a restaurant. That day, you went to the market with Aunt Song to buy, and I stayed at home.

I helped my mother and Aunt Yan peel a lot of fruits. My mother said to me personally: "Xiaoying, you have to prepare this wine carefully. When your sister Shu'er and you grow up, these two jars of wine will be when you get married."

"Wedding cups of wedding wine." At that time, I didn't know what "wedding cup of wine" was.

When Dongfang Sui brought my mother back to Yuling from Fanjing, my mother specially brought my jar back. Your jar was still kept by Aunt Yan. My mother told me that Aunt Yan and Uncle Zhao Qi

I want to wait for you and your husband to return to Fanjing, and prepare a wedding banquet for you. Then, open your jar. The small pot you and I drink today is from my jar of aging wine without permission.

A ladle scooped out.

Although you are wearing a red silk ribbon embroidered with Shu, it is the hair ornament worn by Shu women after their wedding. I am from the Chu State and you are from the Qi State. What does the hair-tying ceremony of the Shu State have to do with you and me?

Shu'er, have you ever heard that in Chu State, the husband pours half of the wine in his own cup into his wife's cup?

Although you are not wearing a red wedding dress tonight, your red and swollen eyes because of my words are the most beautiful dowry in the world.

As for me, although I don't wear red clothes, we bought my clothes together, and you also have the same one.

This set of red porcelain bottles and a pair of porcelain cups are unique in the world. I fired them for you with my own hands. The peach blossoms on the bottle were also painted by me for you. Because last spring was in full swing, by the Peach Blossom River in the Jade Capital of the Song Dynasty, you saw from the flower trees

Fall into my arms. Arms full of petals, arms full of you.

When you disguise yourself as a man, I will accompany you as a Duanxiu. When you return to being a daughter, I will divide my own wedding wine into a ladle and pour half a cup for you. In this life, you can be someone else's wife, but in my life

In my heart, I have already married you.

Lining the Chushui River, on the bank of willows, what is flying outside the awning boat is not catkins, but the goose feather snow that is rare in Chu land.

The river wind lifted a corner of the boat curtain, and Shu'er saw heavy snow falling outside the boat, so he said, "It's getting late, and it's snowing so heavily. General Jing Ning should go back to the military camp outside the city to rest early."

Lin Ying looked at the heavy snow outside the boat, shook her head and said, "I'd better wait until the snow stops before I leave." Then she scratched her head and said with a smile, "Sister Shu'er, the road is slippery in this ice and snow, I'm afraid of falling!"

Shu'er glared at him helplessly with red and swollen eyes. Xiaoying, Xiaoying, if your father were not King Sheng, I really don't know when and what month the title of "General Jingning" would be assigned to you?

At this time, three pebbles were thrown into the awning boat.

Lin Ying'er was smart and she immediately asked: "Does your Qi army have any urgent military affairs? Someone is coming to see you?"

Shu'er nodded and said: "It's my deputy general, Sun Kuo. You wrote a letter asking me to meet you. I left the Qi army camp and came here to see you, so I told General Sun that if there is military affairs, I will throw three stones to call us.

Return to shore."

Lin Ying stood up and said: "Okay. You sit in the boat and don't let outsiders see you. I've seen you here." Then she walked out of the awning, dressed in white, and rowed the boat drifting away from the shore alone in the heavy snow.

Returned to the willow bank not far away.

Sun Kuo stepped onto the boat and saluted Lin Ying: "General Jing Ning, I am Sun Kuo, the deputy general of General Yan. I have military affairs to report."

Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, Shu'er couldn't bear to let Lin Ying leave in the snow, so she opened the boat curtain of the awning and waved to Sun Kuo: "General Sun, please come in and talk. King Sheng secretly helped our Qi army enter the Song Dynasty.

General Ning and I have been friends for eight years and have been friends for ten years. We are not outsiders." Sun Kuo and Lin Ying walked into the awning one after another and sat opposite Shu'er.

Sun Kuo glanced at Lin Ying and said to Shu'er: "The military report came from Prince Sheng's Mansion and was reported by the spies placed by Prince Sheng in the Song Dynasty. General Jing Ning is indeed not an outsider."

Shu'er said: "General Sun, please speak."

Sun Kuo said: "The Allied Allied Forces of the Wei Kingdom entered the Song Dynasty from Xiling, passed Xunfeng County of the Song Dynasty, and were attacking Longshun County with all their strength. However, the King of Song did not save Longshun County, but instead used all the 60,000 troops of King Pingchang in the northwest to make a desperate move.

, was transferred to Dongyang, Jing'an, and seems to have seen through our plan to directly take Dongyang."

Shu'er frowned and asked: "The Allied Defense Forces have added 10,000 troops and more than a thousand horses in Xunfeng County. How many casualties are there in the fierce battle in Longshun?"

Sun Kuodao said: "The alliance leader is good at fighting, the soldiers are brave, the guards have few casualties, and they are invincible in Longshun County. But they don't have the secret military report from Prince Sheng's Mansion. I'm afraid they don't know that King Song wants to abandon Longshun and try to protect Jing'an. Jing'an is near Dongyang

There will be an additional 60,000 ambushes. Even if the guards have no casualties, and even if the old Qi guards from Longshun County are gathered together, there will definitely not be 60,000 people when they reach Dongyang. Moreover, Song Guoping

The army of Prince Chang's Mansion was extremely brave during the Chen-Song War, and they were able to withstand the Chen army alone. Now they have set up an ambush in Jing'an. The enemy is in the dark, and the guards are in the open... When the guards enter Jing'an County, it will definitely be a disaster.
