Chapter 350: Blue Silk Twilight Snow (1)
After dawn, the shops on Zhaogong Luwei Long Street opened one after another, preparing to welcome merchants from all over Kyushu.
The business of Zhang's embroidery workshop was closed today. Xiao Yi took Tingfang, Su Rui and Fengfeng to bury Fengfeng's mother-in-law outside Pingliang City. Xiao Yi asked Su Rui to take Fengfeng back to the embroidery workshop to rest, and then met Tingfeng.
The two of them changed paths and walked to another remote place outside the city.
There is a mausoleum there that no one has ordered to take care of but has been free of weeds for many years. It is called the "Tomb of King Huai of Song Dynasty".
More than 20 years ago, Chen Guo attacked the Song Dynasty, and Song Huai Wang Liu Ying personally fought and died in Pingliang. According to rumors, Song Huai Wang was burned beyond recognition by the fire in Pingliang. He died without a complete body, leaving only a sword.
It can be identified. His sword was hidden in the Jinyang Palace of Chen State and was stolen by Jiangyang thieves a few years ago.
After many twists and turns, the sword of King Huai finally found its way into the hands of King Liu of Qi, the son of King Huai of Song and the Princess of Qi. Unfortunately, God was jealous of talents, so King Qi jumped off the top of a peerless peak, and no bones were left. Only the sword fell intact.
At the hands of the current Song Dynasty King Liu.
I just lament that the sword is still there, but the man died in a foreign country.
Xiao Yi took off the curtain hat and white veil, and hung the tulle and curtain hat together on the peach tree next to the tombstone.
The peach tree was already twenty years old. Every year, the flowers bloomed profusely and the fruits were abundant, with more and more fruits every year. Xiao Yi casually broke off a short sprig of peach blossoms and placed it on the tombstone.
Xiao Yi sat in front of the tombstone, stroking the word "Liu Ying" on the tombstone one stroke at a time, and sighed softly: "I was in a hurry out of the city today, so I didn't bring you any wine. It's spring again, and I didn't know you were sleeping.
Is it still cold in this place?”
Tingfang saw Xiao Yi sitting alone in front of the tombstone talking as usual. She was afraid that she would have to talk for a long time, so she quietly cleared the weeds aside, leaving only wild flowers.
Xiao Yi said: "Perhaps your sword has an evil aura. When you took it, it was gone forever and changed beyond recognition. Now our son has taken it, and it is gone forever, with no bones left..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but shed tears. After a long time, she continued to choke and said: "When our little leader came to reinforce Zhao, I only glanced at him briefly outside Pingliang City. At that time, he flew into the city, and I
I don't want to disturb him, and I always feel that the time ahead is long. As long as he is safe and well, it doesn't matter if he meets me one day sooner or one day later.
I was waiting for him in the showroom of Zhao Palace when he came back from Wucheng. Although he helped King Zhao defend Wucheng, King Zhao was seriously injured and it was inconvenient for him to let the Qi and Chu troops stay in Zhao for a long time, so he hurriedly led the troops again
He left. I didn't even see his face.
I have never seen him since he was born. I don't want to miss the great cause of Qi Wei's restoration of the country, nor do I want to miss Zhuge Dun's life... But in the end, everything came to nothing.
I have been separated from Xiao for many years, and it doesn't matter if we see each other or not, but I never thought that he and Zhuge... would be buried together in Xiling.
I have gone to Xiling to look for them. There was a flash flood under Jueshi Peak. Not to mention corpses, even century-old trees were washed away. I asked around in Xiling and even asked about Yaowang Mountain, but there was no trace at all.
No one has seen any trace of Xiaohe Zhuge, not a single trace.
My newly married wife... I told you, she is the princess of Chu State, Dongfang Shu. She has now been granted the title of King of Anyi of Chu State, with an army of 100,000, which is considered to be inferior to one person in Chu State and superior to ten thousand people.
After Xiao Xiao disappeared, she went to the Song Dynasty with Liu. There were rumors outside that she was pregnant with Liu's child, but I didn't believe it. The girl I looked down on couldn't be a free-spirited person. She went to the Song Dynasty, maybe she
She has her reasons.
I was once called a "disgraced" person by the people. I know very well that some rumors are simply unbelievable. I boldly guessed that she must be protecting something by not killing Liu Wei to avenge her husband. Is she protecting her children? Or the relationship between Song and Chu.
relationship? Or...she found traces of Xiaohe Zhuge?
The King of Shu went to assassinate Liu, but failed three times, and was persuaded by Liu to lead his troops to Wolf City in Mobei.
Since Shu'er and the King of Shu have not killed Liu for the time being, I don't have to go. Besides, Liu is also your child after all. If I kill him, how can I give you an explanation when we finally meet in heaven and on earth?
?I am a 'dead' person, why should I deal with those worldly grudges anymore?
Liu Ying, I just want to come here often to talk to you. I will send you some wild flowers in the spring, play the piano under the stars for you in the summer, sweep away the fallen leaves for you in the autumn, and shovel the fallen snow for you in the winter...
When one day I can no longer get sick, I will die in a foreign country with you. In this way, it can be regarded as a response to the sentence you wrote to me back then, "The life and death agreement is broad, and I told Zicheng that I will return to the garden and live in the fields, and meet the Zhao Kingdom."
"
…
After saying that, Xiao Yi got up, put on the veil and curtain hat again, and walked with Ting Fang into Pingliang City.
Tingfang said to Xiao Yi: "His Royal Highness King Huai ordered me to accompany Madam back then... He actually never asked me to spy on you. After so many years, I can see clearly Madam's feelings for His Highness King Huai. Your Highness is in heaven.
Spirit, must have been satisfied. Now King Qi...his wife's life is too hard, why should she continue to suffer from herself? To be honest, she is still beautiful. If you want to find another lover at this time, it is not a bad idea."
Xiao Yi sighed: "Aunt Tingfang, I know you have good intentions, but it's better not to say anything like this. The so-called beauty has a bad fate, since it is fate, I will not harm others anymore."
Ting Fang spoke earnestly: "After the Battle of Wucheng, King Zhao became famous throughout the country and was a heroic figure. I heard that he is about the same age as His Highness Prince Huai, but so far the harem is empty... Is he really as ugly and terrifying as the rumors say?"
Xiao Yi patted Tingfang's hand and said helplessly: "This is not something you can think of. Aunt Su Rui is really... She is already old, and I am no longer her dancer. How can she
Are you still thinking of selling me?"
Tingfang lowered her head and said: "Su Rui is doing this for Madam's own good. In fact, she has told me many times in private, but Madam has always been sad about the affairs of King Qi and King Wei, and it is inconvenient for me to mention this matter to Madam. Fengfeng's brother today
Now that my mother is gone, I don’t know how long the embroidery shop’s business can last, so I’ll just talk to my wife.”
Xiao Yi said: "There are still four of us in the embroidery workshop, how can we not maintain it?"
Tingfang sighed: "Madam, didn't you notice that Su Rui's eyes can't see clearly? After the winter last year, my hands were not very good. The two of us could no longer embroider those complicated patterns. Fengfeng still
Xiao, we have all seen her embroidery work, but she really has no talent. Does the business of the embroidery shop have to be maintained by Madam alone? "
Xiao Yi held Tingfang's hand and said warmly: "Auntie, why did you tell me now? How about we stop doing the embroidery business and move out of Zhao Palace and back to a small farmhouse on the outskirts of the city?"
Ting Fang said: "Madam has been cultivating the land for twenty years, why go back to the farmhouse to live a poor life? What's more, the farmhouse has been rented to others, and it will be a lot of trouble to get it back. I heard Su Rui say that there is a house in Xiaoxiang Garden.
