Chapter 1149: Afterglow
He was still angry, and then whipped the guard, "I'll let you talk, don't get out of the way!" ”
The guard accepted the whip, but he didn't move on his horse, "Master, the villain must always listen to what the fifth lady has to say." The fifth lady Cui Yan didn't say to give way, he couldn't move even if he was whipped ten times.
Gao Xianxing turned to Cui Yan and blurted out, "Daughter, it's not intentional to be a father, but you ......"
Cui Yan replied with tears in her eyes, "Lord Gao, don't show us Lao Tzu's majesty, my mother has a home and can't go back, where is the daughter...... I'm not your daughter! ”
Gao Xianxing was shocked and found that Cui Yan was really sad, so what happened on the bridge was this girl's heart. Since he was a child, he has never touched Cui Yan with a finger.
But there was a stalemate in the two of them, and there was nowhere to put his face. The carriage behind him was no longer full of energy, and two of his attendants jumped off their horses and ran to the back of the carriage to hold on to it.
A few more horses came up from behind Cui Yan, led by Li Shichang, the squire of the military department, and he guessed the matter after a few glances.
He motioned to his subordinates, and it was inconvenient to shout to open the way, but rubbed his body and squeezed over, arched his hands to Gao Xianxing and Cui Yan respectively, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, this official is thin and can come over, but which one of your family is making trouble?" ”
Gao Xianxing laughed at himself, "This is to blame her mother for not returning to Xizhou, and she wants to find me on the bridge!" ”
Li Shiyun said secretly, "It's strange that someone's daughter-in-law is willing to play so hard for her mother-in-law!" ”
So he arched his hand to Cui Yan again, "I see, but it's not good for the fifth lady to say such ruthless words, otherwise how sad will it be for Lord Gao!" ”
Cui Yan ignored it, just didn't leave, and wiped her tears there.
A person who wants to run to Qingxin Nunnery because he doesn't follow his heart, and even her mother can't pull it, and then re-entering Chang'an is such a noble status, who dares to whip her.
Li Shichang persuaded again, "It's just that the parents under the sky are Buddha's hearts, and for the sake of Harrier Guogong, you shouldn't be so embarrassed by your father-in-law......
Cui Yan saw that on the west canal under the bridge, a boat came from the afterglow, which belonged to Pingkangfang.
She remembered what her second sister Gao Yao said about Wang Susu, and was worried that the words would reach the ears of the eldest grandson Chong with twists and turns, and Li Shixian's last sentence also shocked her, yes, making such a fuss today is really a bit out of place for her daughter-in-law's identity.
Thinking of this, Cui Yan ignored the two of them and pulled up the horse stiff off the bridge.
The maids and guards behind her naturally got off the bridge one after another and got out of the way, which invisibly seemed to give the British Duke Li Shichang a face.
The British public said to the high judge, "The anger of the tall man is also a little bigger, and the lower official thinks, is your queen and daughter-in-law of Silla also afraid of the tiger's might, haha." ”
"It's against her, and Lao Tzu is very angry!" He waved to the coachman, "Cross the bridge!" ”
……
Cui Yan returned home, and the matter of being whipped by the high trial was soon known to her family, Gao Jun rolled up her sleeves to see, the white and round forearm was swollen and tall, like a red agate ring,
"Hurry up and invite Huang Lianzhu," Shang Shuling shouted.
Fan Ying said, "This is not the right symptom, it is just swollen, and there is no blood." ”
"Too much deception!" Shang Shuling said.
……
A few days later, a Xinglufang guard who had been to the Great Ci'en Temple with Hongluqing suddenly called for invitation, and it was Yan Mazi, the second housekeeper of the British Mansion, who was the east.
There were only two people, and they asked for a single room in the hotel, Yan Mazi took out a wooden box covered with mahogany and copper, and after opening it, there were five silver envelopes inside, and two yellow gold ingots were placed on the top.
The guard was sincerely afraid, "What does Steward Yan mean by this, people often say that there is no merit and no luck." ”
Yan Mazi said, "Actually, my brother is just curious about one thing, and brother, you have witnessed it, as long as you tell your brother a little, these, even the boxes and belongings are yours." ”
The guard asked, "What's the matter, even if you know it, it's not worth so much money." ”
Yan Mazi said, "Last time, Lord Hongluqing Gao, how did he fight with the fifth lady of Yongningfang on the stone bridge, this brother doesn't know better than anyone?" ”
"Oh, that's it, what's there to say!" Said the guard.
"Hehe, who doesn't want to ask about the beautiful ladies in Shangshuling's mansion? Anything is worth the money! I heard that Lord Hongluqing called the fifth lady of Yongningfang her daughter? ”
"There is such a thing, and the fifth lady is angry, and she also says that she is not the daughter of a tall adult. But I didn't think it was a big deal, because Mrs. Cui from Xizhou called every daughter-in-law that. ”
But a daughter-in-law should not have such a stiff quarrel with her father-in-law for the sake of her mother-in-law anyway.
Yan Mazi drank with him for a while, got up and said to the guard, "If there is anything new in the future, you want to tell my brother, I have a brother who is in charge of the family and opens a teahouse in Chang'an County, and people sit in the teahouse, but they all love to spread the word from east to west, and before you know it, five or six bowls of tea will go down." ”
The guards never believed that the other party would spend such a large amount of money for five or six bowls of tea. But how can you not want real money? After drinking, he left excitedly with his things.
……
As soon as the British prince mentioned the queen of Silla, an envoy from Silla arrived in Chang'an. Recently, Silla and Chang'an have been very close, and the queen has just left when the letter arrives, and then the messenger arrives again.
Originally, it was not necessary for Hongluqing to come forward in person to receive a foreign envoy, but the pawn came to Gao Shenxing and said that this Silla envoy had to go to Yongningfang to meet Shang Shuling.
Only then did the Gao Xianxing decide to meet with the envoy and ask him why.
The envoy said, "When I came, the queen told me that there was something to tell the Tang Dynasty Shangshu Ling, and others could not know." ”
Gao Xianxing said with a smile, "This official is Shang Shuling's Lao Tzu, do you dare to hide anything from this official!" ”
A subordinate of Gao Xianxing on the side hurriedly confirmed, "How can Master Gao joke with you, this is true!" ”
The envoy was surprised, he secretly asked the people next to him, and these people confirmed that the Honglu Temple Zhengqing was the tallest man, and there was only one son like Shang Shuling.
His attitude immediately became humble.
The high-level trial was still unfinished, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Your queen is also the daughter-in-law of this official, but you should tell this official about it, what is there about her that this official can't ask?" ”
With this sentence alone, the Silla envoy was even more stunned, because he didn't know this layer at all. When the queen returned, she never spoke to anyone about it.
Jin Shande told him to go to Yongningfang, first, to observe the layout of the furnishings in the mansion, and if possible, to observe each lady in the mansion, and to go back to her about the appearance of each of them.
The second is that when Jin Shande asked the envoy to be alone with Shang Shuling, he told Shang Shuling a sentence without a beginning or an end, "Gao Ye, or Gao Ting, there will always be one." ”
On the way to Chang'an, the envoy thought that this was just the queen's curiosity about the Tang Dynasty Shangshu Ling and the family affairs of the Harrier Kingdom, but at this time, when he revisited the queen's words, many places were completely different.
"My lord, it's just that the minister doesn't know what kind of big man Gao Ye or Gao Ting the queen is talking about."
Gao Xianxing didn't know, but he guessed that it was not far away, the queen came to Chang'an, and eighty percent of her stomach had already sprouted.
Because of the unpleasantness with Cui Yan on the stone bridge the day before yesterday, Gao Xianxing has been worried in his heart, and this incident in Silla can be regarded as a happy event, and it happens to be a reason to go to Yongningfang.
Hongluqing said to the envoy, "This is easy to do, you wait for the official to finish and personally take you to Yongningfang for a trip." ”
In the southwest of Jiannan Road, 1,200 miles, there is a country called the country of Piao, the territory is about three points of Tibet, and the Tang Dynasty is separated by lofty mountains and mountains, and in the middle is separated by small tribes such as Wangbu and Manbu.
The three-man delegation of the Pyu Kingdom also came, bringing with them a rich tribute.
In order to show the importance that Datang attaches to the missions that came from afar, and not let them and his subordinates feel that Hongluqing has a close relationship with the Biguo delegation and the Silla mission, Lord Gao is also ready to personally come forward to receive them, and he is very busy.
The Silla envoy was afraid that as soon as Lord Gao got busy, he would forget his promise to take him to Yongningfang, which would cost him a lot of trouble, and he might not be able to go.
The Harrier Mansion is not something that anyone can break into casually, so shouldn't the Queen of Silla delay in telling and instructing you?
So, the envoy in his twenties pleaded to the tall man, "My lord, will you allow me to follow you?" So that as soon as you are done here, we can go to Yongning Fang. ”
Gao Shenxing seemed to have guessed the other party's careful thinking again, this time the Silla envoy was sent to Chang'an, but in fact, the tasks were all in Yongningfang.
Hongluqing said generously, "Of course you can, but you have to pay attention to the etiquette of foreign affairs, and don't talk casually." ”
This is the first time that the embassy of the country has come to Datang, and Ren doesn't understand it, and even the most basic etiquette has to be taught.
It seems to be a little difficult for them to meet the standard of being received by His Majesty the Tang Emperor in the short term.
Fortunately, their language is similar to the dialect of the southern part of Jiannan Province, and the language of Manbu is also similar to that of Manbu, and with the assistance of the messenger, it is not a problem for Gao Daren to communicate with them.
The High Judge personally drew up a course for the mission to teach etiquette, and assigned the best attendants to teach them how to bow and bow, how to stand, how to sit, and how to speak before the king.
If His Majesty nods and agrees that they will come to Chang'an next time, he will immediately give them twelve female fish talismans, and he will have to teach them how to use these things.
Somehow, Bi Guo learned that there was a knife in the Tang Army, called the Mo Knife, which was sharp and powerful. The main task of this mission is to ask for a reward from the Tang Emperor and get a strange knife.
Barbarians raged around the country of Pi.
These were the exact words of the Pi State Mission, "It has endangered the safety of the Piu royal family." As long as we can get this kind of knife, we are willing to exchange it for the rarest and rarest things in our country. ”
Gao Xianxing laughed secretly, it turned out that the word barbarian could still be used like this.
He groaned and said to them, "It's not easy...... According to the rules, if you don't give you a knife, you have to ask the military department, which is very troublesome. ”
The Silla envoy interjected, "Isn't this difficult, Lord Gao? ”
The implication of the words is clear: You are the son of the Harrier Guogong, and the Harrier Guogong is the secretary of the military department of the Tang Dynasty, how can you even stump you with such a trivial matter as asking for instructions to the military department.
Hongluqing said, "It's not difficult, it's a rule!" I've already said it all, and you're not allowed to interject. ”
The Silla envoy didn't speak, and Gao Shenxing said to the envoy of the Pyu Kingdom, "But in a while, this official will take the Silla envoy to Yongningfang, and I can ask you by the way." ”
The Silla envoy interjected again, "Do you know that the Harrier Guogong of Yongningfang is the secretary of the military department and the son of Hongluqing. ”
This time, the Gao Xianxing did not remind the Silla envoy of the question of speaking, and continued to say to the envoy of the Pyu Kingdom, "The sharp weapons in the army, how can you be casual with people, and outsiders can't even take a look, but this official sees that you have just arrived, and you have some sincerity, so I will make it convenient for you." ”
The envoy of the country asked, "You don't need to ask the military department for this?" ”
"It stands to reason that the Ministry of War must also send a message to the ordnance superintendent, and if you follow the rules, of course it will be very troublesome...... Now, one of my brother's officers happens to be serving as a prisoner, and I will write you a few words, and the pawn will take you to my brother, and then ask my brother to arrange and talk to the overseer of weapons, and you will probably be able to see this kind of knife as well. ”
The envoy of the country of Bi thanked him for his kindness, saying that it was troublesome enough to just listen to it, thanks to Lord Gao.
Gao Xianxing wrote a few words to the general as a prisoner, that is, his third brother Gao Chunxing, briefly explained the matter, and asked the third brother to give a word to the ordnance supervisor and receive the envoy of the country of Pi.
Then he said to the Silla envoy, "We can go." ”
……
Yongning Fang.
The little envoy of Silla followed behind Hongluqing, and when he arrived at the gate of the Harrier Mansion, Gao Jun was not at home, only Liu Yuru Xie Jinlian and others gathered around to comfort Cui Yan.
Liu Yuru said, "Sister, look, Jun learned that you were whipped by him, and he just said that he was too deceitful, but if you want to say that you ran to Xinglufang to vent your anger, I'm afraid it's not ready-made." ”
Gao Xianxing went to Honglu Temple, and he didn't make much trouble, so that the situation that had always made Gao Jun very uncomfortable immediately improved, and even these people in the family secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
You must know that when Gao Jun was most aggrieved, he once thought of tearing his face with Gao Xianxing, and then leaving Chang'an with his family.
Who wouldn't cherish such a momentum of improvement?
However, no one thought that Cui Yan was beaten, but if you think about it, it was Cui Yan who led it.
People can understand the resentment in Cui Yan's heart when she suddenly saw that scene on the stone bridge, and no one will blame her, but this matter probably has to be resolved.
It's just that Cui Yan was whipped, and she got up and left the stone bridge without any follow-up, so what does Liu Qingping think? What do the guards accompanying Xinglufang think? What do you think of Liu Qingping's Yahuan? This Nizi is not happy to be too angry!
Just thinking about it over and over again, even Yongning Fang's face was damaged.
Cui Yan felt that the whiplash on her arm not only hurt in her arm, but also hurt in her heart, and felt that she was in front of her personal ring, and wiped her tears again at this time, "If I wasn't upset for my mother, how could I get into this matter!" ”
Siqing said, "Alas, it's really a little annoying, although he originally meant to hit Yahuan, you can tell me that he is such a big man, why do you raise your hand to beat people in public!" ”
These people were talking about this in the back house, and Ju'er ran in to return, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived, and he and the messenger of Silla are waiting for us outside the gate!" ”
Liu Yuru said, "Jun is not at home, what is he doing here?" There were also Silla emissaries. ”
Cui Yan said, "I won't welcome you, I'm going to you." ”
People say, Jun is not at home, why should we!
Ju'er came up with an idea and said, "Just to vent the anger of the fifth lady, how can you let them go." ”
