Chapter 71: Everything is troubled
On the second day, Zhao Ziliang placed his father's spiritual seat in his residence, burned some paper money, paid tribute, and missed it. The news of his father's death was not a confidential matter, and Zhao Ziliang also forgot to deliberately tell Zheng San not to spread it, so in less than a day, five or six hundred people in Tuoyunbao knew the news, Wei Meng, Huo Kan, Jia Chongjun, Zhao Chongyu, Wang Can and others all came to mourn and let him mourn and change.
A few days later, Fu Meng Lingjing somehow learned the news, and specially sent Wang Tao, a lieutenant of the executive officer, to express his condolences and condolences on his behalf. And the news of the Chinese envoy supervising the army Bian Lingcheng is extremely well-informed, he is supervising the border town generals on behalf of the emperor, how can he do it without a source? He knew the news, which naturally meant that Mrs. Meng knew about it, and Mrs. Meng was inconvenient to go to Tuoyunbao, so she wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to Zhao Ziliang, the content of the letter was nothing more than to comfort Zhao Ziliang and tell her heart by the way.
Princess Shule Panzhu Junxiu had no scruples, and immediately ran to Tuoyun Fort regardless of the fact that she asked her husband Meng Lingjing for leave.
When Panzhu Junxiu arrived, Tuoyunbao was conducting a big martial arts competition, and the atmosphere on the school field and various training grounds was extremely warm, with cheers, sighs, loud shouts, and the rumbling of war drums, all of which were cheering for the soldiers participating in the big competition.
"Princess, why are you here?" Zhao Ziliang pulled Panzhu Junxiu aside and asked.
Panzhu Junxiu was stunned, "There is such a big thing, why didn't you tell me?" If it hadn't been for General Fumon telling me, I would have been kept in the dark! Did you even think of me as your fiancée? ”
Zhao Ziliang sighed: "I didn't want others to know about this, my father passed away, it stands to reason that I want to go back to pay tribute to my father's dead, but you also know that the land of Anxi is now eventful, and the safety of Tuoyun Fort is the top priority, not to mention that General Fumeng will not allow me to go back, if I go back, I will really not be relieved, if I don't go back, outsiders may say that I am not filial!" I wanted to wait until the Turgish rebellion was put down before I took leave of absence and went home! ”
Panzhu Junxiu listened to Zhao Ziliang's words, patted the back of his hand, and said, "Then I blame you!" Uncle died, I know you must be very sad, but your uncle has gone, no matter how sad you are, it will not help, and your uncle will not come back to life, you have to cheer up, you have to make decisions on all matters in Tuoyun Castle, and you must not waste the public for personal reasons! When I came, General Fumeng asked me to tell you that if you want to go back to pay respects to your uncle, he expressed his understanding, and will arrange for someone else to temporarily take over the affairs of Tuoyunbao, but he still hopes to stay, and after the Turgish rebellion is quelled, he will grant you a leave of absence to return to your hometown to visit your relatives and pay tribute to your uncle."
Zhao Ziliang arched his hand in the direction of Shule Town and said: "The general is very loving, Ziliang has nothing to repay!" Princess, please tell the general when you go back, and say that Ziliang can rest assured that he will not be able to take care of the defense of Tuoyun Fort, and that he will wait for the Tuqishi Rebellion to be resolved next year, and his subordinates will ask him for leave and return to his hometown."
"Well, okay, I'll tell the general!"
The big competition on the school field next to it was in full swing, the noise and noise were endless, Zhao Ziliang and Panzhu Junxiu walked all the way along the school field, talking while strolling.
"Since my uncle is dead, who wrote this letter?" Panzhu Junxiu asked.
Zhao Ziliang said: "It was my eldest brother who found someone to write it on his behalf!" ”
"Zishan?" Panzhu Junxiu smiled slightly, "Last time you said that your family has been farmers for generations, but you didn't expect that your uncle would give you two brothers such a good name."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled: "Where is the father of the family, it is the old Xiucai in the village, the elder brother was originally called Zizhong, I am called Ziliang, take the meaning of loyalty, but the eight characters of the elder brother do not match the word loyalty, and later changed his name to Zishan!" ”
"I see!"
Panzhu Junxiu hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask what he wanted to ask: "Did the brother mention our marriage in the letter?" ”
Zhao Ziliang hesitated for a moment, then took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Panzhu Junxiu, saying: "Since my father is not here, it is the eldest brother like a father, and the elder brother said in the letter that he does not agree to our marriage!" ”
Panzhu Junxiu's face instantly turned pale when he heard this, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and his voice trembled and asked, "Why?" Why didn't my brother agree to our marriage? ”
Zhao Ziliang saw that Panzhu Junxiu was crying when he saw such a hot and strong woman, and his heart was also quite uncomfortable, and he hurriedly said: "Princess, don't cry, my brother doesn't disagree with our marriage, he just said······ Say······· said that although you are a princess, but after all, you are a daughter of a different race, if you must marry, but you can't be a wife, he also said that he has asked a matchmaker to tell me a family business in the township, is an embroidery girl, and does a good needlework ······".
Last time, Zhao Ziliang wrote back to tell him about his current situation, and at the same time asked someone to bring back some money, it is estimated that the people in the village saw that he was mixing well in the army, and he also brought back a lot of money, so that the matchmaker was willing to say that if the family was poor, he was just a small soldier, and he could lose his life at any time on the battlefield, which woman was willing to marry him?
Panzhu Junxiu didn't accept the letter either, crying: "Then what do you think? Let me be your concubine? And then you're going to go back and marry that embroidery girl? ”
Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Panzhu Junxiu's face, and sighed: "Actually, I don't have any concept of wife and concubine in my heart at all, this is all forcibly divided by the world." Don't worry, I'll go to my brother and say, if you want, we will get married first, but we can't make my brother ugly, and then marry that embroidery girl when we return to our hometown, you are all my wives, regardless of status, what do you think? ”
Panzhu Junxiu was furious on the spot when he heard this: "What? Do you still want to marry two? No, I don't serve a man at the same time as other women."
Zhao Ziliang was already in a bad mood, Panzhu Junxiu made such a fuss, how could he still hold back her princess temper, and immediately said angrily: "Then what do you want me to do?" Things have exceeded my expectations, do you think I am this what I want? You don't serve the same man as other women, with your temper, pampered since childhood, will you serve people? ”
was scolded by Zhao Ziliang like this, Panzhu Junxiu cried on the spot, Zhao Ziliang had never scolded her before, even if he first met her everywhere and embarrassed her, he was not as angry as today, no wonder she felt very wronged, but she couldn't leave with a bad heart, because she knew that Zhao Ziliang was a person who would never apologize easily, even if he wanted to apologize, it was never for this kind of thing.
Panzhu Junxiu cried very sadly, Zhao Ziliang took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to her, and said softly: "Since I was a child, my brother has treated me very well, even if I get married, I have not changed. If there is anything delicious, give it to me first, and the new fabrics that my sister-in-law bought will make clothes for me first. If I quit that family business, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling others that my brother has no faith in his words, and how will he behave in the township in the future? Let that embroidered girl behave as a person, can she still get married? The customs of the Central Plains are different from here, and the concepts of the people of the world are also different from here, why don't you think about it from my point of view? Besides, even if I marry her, it is impossible to keep her with me all the time, she is not in the army after all, and you are different, you and I are both in the army, we can see each other at any time, I must spend more time with you than her, you said that you are not willing to serve the same man with other women, this is forcing me to make a choice! Yes, you are the princess of Shule Kingdom, your family is a snake here, powerful and powerful, is my Zhao Ziliang a person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix? For the sake of you and the powerful, you have to give up family affection completely? ”
Zhao Ziliang was a little ashamed of her words, but she was a woman, although Zhao Ziliang gave her the steps, she was embarrassed to compromise at the beginning, so she had to say: "Even if I am willing, my father will not agree."
Zhao Ziliang sneered: "Your father? How many women does he have? I'm afraid he can't remember it himself, right? He still wants to oppose it on this ground? Could it be that only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps? As long as you want, your father's place, I'll settle it."
