The general is on the queen of Xixia

Chapter 23 Ten Years Like a Dream

Ye Zhao, the general of Zhenbei, fought for eight years and finally defeated the Liao army. He was ashamed, not only regained the territory, but also forced him to bow his head and proclaim himself a vassal.When the good news came, Bianjing was full of ecstasy, civil and military officials all sang their merits, wishing to praise General Zhenbei as the world's first-class hero.

Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, named Ye Zhao the general of the world's soldiers and horses, and ordered him to return to the court in triumph to receive the reward.Unexpectedly, another excerpt was presented immediately - General Zhenbei Xie En pleaded guilty, bluntly saying that he was a daughter.

The whole country was shocked and in an uproar.

Ye Zhao was ordered to return to Beijing, and the towns he passed along the way were all lined up to welcome him. Suddenly, the entire northern part of the Song Dynasty was full of joy.

Liu Tiantuo made great achievements in battle and was appointed as the general guarding Jiaxing Pass, so Liu Xiyin returned to Yongguan City with his uncle and aunt.

After leaving her homeland for six full years, Liu Xiyin took Hong Ying to walk all the streets in the city, as if they were relatives reunited after a long absence.

Things are different, childhood friends are dead, crazy, the only one alive, huh, don't mention it.

The old scene on the street reappeared in the past, but there was no big disturbance in Liu Xiyin's heart. She spent only two years with Ye Zhao when she was young, but exhausted her eight years of lovesickness.Enough is enough, no matter how precious memories are, they are chewed and swallowed.

She was only short of the last trace of frustration and unwillingness. She wanted that person to tell her personally that the original promise was just a joke...

She finally waited for this day.

————————————————————————

Liu Tiantuo was also full of helplessness, originally thinking that Xiyin would be willing to marry Meng Qing.Poor little brother, even though he has given many gifts, the girl Xiyin agreed, and asked her if she would like to, but she didn't say a word.Xiyin is already dead, and if she doesn't get married, she will become an old girl. Xiyin listened to Ye Zhao's words the most since she was a child, and she can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

He was also thinking, if he couldn't find a suitable one in the capital, he would write a letter to Meng Qing after a while. This young man is also stupid. What's the use of just giving gifts and not showing up?He doesn't please women at all, unlike Lao Tzu back then.

Not long after, the newly married Ye Zhao received a letter from his uncle:

"...After a while, your ninth cousin, Xiyin, will come to Beijing, let her live with you, and help her find a marriage by the way, it doesn't matter if the family is low, as long as you have a good character. If it is suitable or your cousin is unwilling to marry, you can persuade her to go back to Mobei to marry someone."

After Ye Zhao received the letter, she was in a good mood. She read the letter several times, with an uncontrollable smile on her lips, "Miss Xiyin is coming," and then told the maid, " Clean the guest room for Miss Biao, arrange the staff, and it's next to my yard."

Now that my cousin is coming to the capital to find a husband and son-in-law, I think she has figured it out. She had delayed her cousin for so many years with a single careless promise, so she must treat her well as an apology.

Zhao Yujin asked: "Your family really has a lot of cousins, and they have a good relationship?"

Ye Zhaodao: "It belongs to my uncle's clan. It's a distant cousin, not a real cousin."

Xuan'er didn't wait for Zhao Yujin to speak, and asked the key question first: "Is it pretty?"

Mei Niang gave her a blank look, feeling that this girl is too clueless, she winked and hinted: "Even if my cousin is more beautiful, can she still be as beautiful as the county prince?"

Xuan'er leaned over and whispered in her ear: "The prince of the county loves beauties, if he falls in love with the general's distant cousin, if he gets in, and both parties are favored, where is our place?"

Mei Niang felt more and more that she was not enlightened, so she hinted with gestures: "Stupid, she is really a beauty with both ability and political integrity, and she has a general as her backing, so is there any need to look for her family background?"

Ye Zhao recalled for a long time, and replied: "Qing Qingxiuxiu, thin, not ugly."

The concubines were all relieved.

Zhao Yujin was uneasy: "Isn't it another one who is similar to you? Let me be clear first, if she is too rude, I will send her to another hospital."

Ye Zhao thought for a long time, then shook his head: "She is withdrawn, likes to cry, shy easily, but doesn't like to hit people."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After more than a month, the trains and boats stopped, and Miss Biao finally arrived in Shangjing. Ye Zhao got the news from the barracks and quickly sent someone to pick her up.

Two loaded carts and a small blue woolen sedan chair wandered to the gate of the Prince's Mansion in Nanping County. The servants helped unload the stuff and sent them to the prepared courtyard. Several women stepped forward to carry the sedan chair. Enter from the side door and stop outside the courtyard door of the main house.

In Nanping County Prince's Mansion, the hostess is useless, so Yang can only make the decision and bring a few ladies in charge out to greet her.

Mei Niang and Xuan'er were used to being bold by the general, so they quietly watched the fun not far away.

Under the apricot blossom tree, the car curtain was gently opened, and a clean and pretty little beauty came out, wearing a black bun, wearing a blue silk dress, and a few fashionable gold hairpins and silver ornaments, although there were a few spots on her round face. Freckles, smiling eyes like a crescent moon, a pair of lively and lovely pear dimples at the corners of the mouth, it is pleasing to look at.

This is Miss Biao, right?It looks easy to get along with.

Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go forward to greet her.

Unexpectedly, the little beauty turned around to salute, opened the car curtain respectfully, and said charmingly, "Girl, we're here."

In the blue woolen sedan chair, gently stretched out a hand, and put it on the shoulder of the little beauty.

The "hands are like catkins, the muscles are like fat" and "spring onions and jade fingers are like orchids" described in the play are displayed in front of everyone. This white, delicate, soft, and flawless hand alone is so beautiful that it takes people's breath away .

Yang was stunned for a while, then stepped forward to greet her with an apologetic smile.

Liu Xiyin slowly stepped down from the sedan chair, and the bright red apricot blossoms on the branches suddenly lost their luster.

She has a perfect face, perfect eyes, a perfect nose, a perfect mouth, a perfect figure, from her hair to her fingertips, there is not a single place that is not beautiful.Overwhelming country and city, sinking fish and falling geese, closed moon and shameful flowers, beauty and disaster... From ancient times to modern times, all the words to describe a beautiful woman can be put on her without being obtrusive.

She was wearing a light green gauze dress, a plain white blouse, and a simple hosta slanted beside her cloud-like hair, on which hung a shining diamond the size of a pinky knuckle, which swayed slightly with her, like A dragonfly touches the water, like a weak willow facing the wind.Walking slowly, he saluted Mrs. Yang with neither humility nor condescension. His voice seemed to have a special rhythm, and his movements were as graceful as a dance.

"Bang Dang" sounded crisply.

It was the little boy who was serving outside who was so fascinated by it that he accidentally knocked over the plate containing the pastries, waking everyone up.

Every woman is asking herself: "When men in the world see such beauty, do they still want to see others?"

Mei Niang had always been beautiful, but now that a strong enemy appeared, she panicked, first staring at her, looking at her from head to foot, then from foot to head, turning over and over several times, knowing that she was invincible, she was so angry that she broke her nails, Crushed the handkerchief, his face was so ugly that even the rouge couldn't cover it.

Although Xuan'er was dull, she was also a little nervous when she saw such a gorgeous beauty, she tugged at Mei Niang's sleeve and said, "This...Miss Xiyinbiao seems to be prettier than the county prince?"

"It's more than good-looking? She's more beautiful than the two kings combined." Meiniang could only wish to peel Liu Xiyin's face off An herself, and her voice was stifled from between her teeth, "How can a woman grow into a woman?" Does this look like a vixen? Hateful!"

Mrs. Yang recited in her heart eighteen times "Miss Biao is here to stay temporarily because she is planning to marry someone else's family", finally suppressed the confusion, and smiled apologetically: "The general is very happy to hear that Miss Biao is coming, she said immediately Just come back and run all the way, I will take you to settle down first?"

Liu Xiyin nodded slightly and said, "It's Xiyin who interrupted you."

"It's all from my own family, don't bother me if there is anything to disturb, cousin Xiyin is too stranger!" Ye Zhaoren arrived before the sound, she was wearing a court dress, and before she had time to change, she rushed straight over excitedly, with a desire to watch the excitement behind her. Zhao Yujin, "The last time I saw you, you were not even close to my chest. You are not much taller now."

Liu Xiyin's figure paused for a moment, then she turned around and bowed her head to meet her. Her slender and elegant neck like a swan was exposed from her collar, and she lowered her eyes.

"Azhao..."

Such beauties, even Zhao Yujin, who was used to looking in the mirror, couldn't help but take a second look.

Seeing her appearance, Ye Zhao originally wanted to hold her hands carelessly and stop in the air, but shrank back embarrassedly. After a long time, he patted her on the shoulder and said softly, "I almost didn't recognize her because of her eighteenth change. .”

Liu Xiyin smiled and said, "Azhao is also quite different."

On the street outside the Prince's Mansion in Nanping County, no one paid attention to the corner, a figure had been silently watching all this.

Liu Xiyin was arranged by Ye Zhao to live in the Indus Courtyard, with black tiles and white walls, five or six sycamore trees dotted here and there, and seven or eight clumps of roses.

Ye Zhao said: "You like summer, and this courtyard was built according to the summer scene. It is already May, and summer is coming soon. When the time comes, the plane trees will be shaded and the roses will bloom. It should be beautiful."

Liu Xiyin was pacing in the room, but when she heard the words, she looked straight at Ye Zhao:

"How can I, Liu Xiyin, be able to make Ah Zhao worry so much?"

Ye Zhao was stunned, "Why did my cousin say that?"

Liu Xiyin did not answer.

Ye Zhao was a little confused about the cousin in front of him. Could it be that he was not used to leaving home and coming to the capital?

Ye Zhao patted her on the shoulder and comforted her:

"Cousin, don't be afraid of strangers, just treat this as your own home."

Liu Xiyin just kept silent.

In this way, Liu Xiyin stayed in the Prince's Mansion of Nanping County.

Aside from the sudden appearance of a woman selling her body to bury her father at the gate of the mansion a few days ago, and the fact that the mansion hired an extra servant girl, Nanping County Prince's mansion has been calm for half a month.

For more than ten days, she didn't go shopping, didn't play the piano, and didn't socialize with outsiders, but every day when Zhao Yujin accompanied Ye Zhao to practice martial arts, Liu Xiyin would sit in the pavilion in the distance and watch quietly.

Ye Zhao became more and more confused, what happened to this cousin?She introduced a lot of young talents in the capital to her cousin, but the cousin didn't want to meet, presumably because she hadn't adapted to life in the capital yet, so she was left to stay in the mansion.

For Ye Zhao, every day was normal, but for Liu Xiyin, the dreams that had been shattered for a long time were now more clearly crushed and turned into powder before his eyes.

Every day, she could see Ye Zhao, who was full of vigor, restraining all his sharpness in front of Zhao Yujin.

Every day, she could see Ye Zhao greeting Zhao Yujin.

Every day, she could see that Ye Zhao looked at Zhao Yujin with more tenderness than he did for herself.

After another half month, God has been raining continuously for more than ten days, and there is still no sign of stopping.

Looking at the rainy weather all day in Wutong courtyard, Liu Xiyin felt even more depressed.The words she wanted to ask Ye Zhao could not be said, and the answer was clearly in front of her eyes.

Ye Zhao was afraid that his cousin would be bored in the mansion, so he brought a young talent to the mansion.Since the cousin is unwilling to go out, then bring the right person to the door, and she can also help the cousin to check.

Walking into the yard, I saw my cousin in the attic with a gloomy expression on her face. She must have been suffocated. Ye Zhao led Liu Yong over and said:

"Cousin, I've been staying at the house for almost a month, and I'm so bored. I originally wanted to take you out for a stroll around the capital, but unfortunately the weather is hell, it's raining non-stop."

He turned sideways and led out Liu Yong behind him.

"Cousin, this is Liu Yong. His poetry and literary talents are top-notch. He should be able to chat with you. Unlike me, my education level is too low." After speaking, she scratched her head with a smile.

"Is this Mr. Liu the husband-in-law that Ah Zhao chose for me?" Liu Xiyin asked with a smile, but her eyes were full of coldness.

The question was too straightforward, and Ye Zhao and Liu Yongdun felt a little embarrassed.

Liu Yong smoothed things over and said with a smile: "If you are congenial, it doesn't matter to be friends."

"Yes, yes." It's good to make friends, Ye Zhao answered.

"Does Mr. Liu have an official position?" Liu Xiyin asked.

"I came to Bianjing precisely to rush for the exam, but Liu has no obsession with his official career."

"Master Liu's family has thousands of acres of fertile land or a lot of money?"

The person who asked this question was really embarrassed, but Liu Yong still maintained his demeanor.

"No."

Liu Xiyin turned around and took a sip of tea, saying:

"No power, no wealth, no marriage." Clean and tidy, without leaving any sympathy.

Liu Yong, who is a romantic talent, has never been insulted like this, so he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, cousin, I'm sorry, Brother Liu, I'll definitely come to the house some other day to apologize."

Ye Zhao hurriedly chased Liu Yong who left in a fit of anger and apologized.

Liu Xiyin had a sneer on her face.

After half a cup of tea, Ye Zhao returned to Wutong Courtyard. Seeing her cousin still sitting there, she walked over angrily. Liu Xiyin did this, and she, Ye Zhao, also lost face.

"Cousin, why are you so rude, Mr. Liu is a guest—"

Liu Xiyin stood up suddenly, and said loudly to Ye Zhao:

"Are you blaming me?"

He had never seen such a cousin before, even if Ye Zhao was angry, he was a bit weaker.

"I'm also doing it for your own good. I've found so many young talents for you in the past half month."

"You want me to marry someone else that much?" Liu Xiyin asked, her eyes turned red.

"No, doesn't this woman have to marry sooner or later?"

"Then why don't you want to marry me?" Liu Xiyin burst into tears.

Ye Zhao was stunned. Over the past few years, hasn't my cousin figured it out yet?

"I'm a woman, how can I marry you?"

Facing Ye Zhao's rhetorical question, Liu Xiyin retorted.

"You didn't have to say it. As long as you marry me and adopt a son, who can tell that you are a daughter?"

Ye Zhao shook his head slowly: "I disguised myself as a man and bullied the king, which is unfaithful. I contradicted my parents and beat my elder brother, which is unfilial. I was domineering and murdered like hemp. Such an unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unrighteous person, if he doesn't try his best to correct his mistakes, he still wants to add to his mistakes and hide it from the world for a lifetime?"

Liu Xiyin screamed: "You are obviously in love with Zhao Yujin! That's why you don't want me!"

Ye Zhao hesitated for a moment, then said heavily, "Yes."

Ye Zhao raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "This is not the first time I saw him, I knew him a long time ago, I liked him, but I never thought that I would marry him .”

Opening Ye Zhao's hand.

"Do not touch me!"

Liu Xiyin almost laughed angrily at Ye Zhao's words.

"Since you already have Zhao Yujin in your heart, then why did you kiss me back then!"

"Since you already have someone else in your heart, why did you say you would marry me?!"

From the day Ye Zhao said he wanted to marry her, the love in his heart grew wildly like weeds in spring, out of control.

As long as I think of her face, I will blush and my heart will beat faster, and I dare not even look at it.

My mother said that the most important thing for a woman is to find her lover.

She believes she has found the best lover in the world.

In this life and in this life, the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten. If you are not a prince, you will not marry.

The most ridiculous thing in the world!

Liu Xiyin didn't know how to speak politely, Ye Zhao originally wanted to teach her well.

Unexpectedly, the past was dragged out.

It wasn't my cousin who was wrong, but myself who was young and absurd and made promises indiscriminately.

She also thought of how Xiyin treated her from the bottom of her heart during the war, sending cold clothes and wound medicine.

But the matter has come to this point, and it is a done deal, so what can she do.

Ye Zhao sighed softly: "I have already betrayed you, so I can no longer betray him. I am the one who is sorry for you. I will do my best to make up for whatever you want me to do."

Liu Xiyin smiled softly with tears in her eyes:

"You go, I don't want to see you again, I will leave tomorrow, and you don't come to see me off."

Turn around and go to the guest room.

Ye Zhao stood where he was, unable to recover for a long time.

Early the next morning, Liu Xiyin and Hong Ying packed their luggage, and the carriage was ready outside the house.

Ye Zhao still came, she was a little worried that Liu Xiyin would go back alone.

Liu Xiyin didn't even look at Ye Zhao who was standing there, and went straight into the carriage.Hong Ying saluted Ye Zhao. "General Ye, let's go." After finishing speaking, he was reluctant to talk to Ye Zhao and stepped into the carriage.

The carriage slowly walked out of Ye Zhao's line of sight, and Ye Zhao sighed inwardly. When her cousin's anger subsided in the future and she figured it out, she would definitely find the best husband-in-law for her to make up for her cousin's sad days in these years.

In the carriage, Liu Xiyin leaned weakly on the carriage. She cried all night last night and only slept for a while. She was a little dizzy.

Ten years had been like a dream, but now that the dream had finally woken up, and the knot in her heart was over, she felt relieved instead.

Hongying took a blanket and covered Liu Xiyin.ask:

"Girl, are we going back to Yongguan City?"

Liu Xiyin flexed her fingers, feeling the ring on her finger.

"No, let's go to Jiangbei."

Now, it's time to meet her.

She hasn't replied a single word in two years, and she doesn't know if Ah Qing will be angry.

But Ah Qing also has something to hide from her, can it be considered even?

The author has something to say:

Thank you little angels, the author had a birthday with the most blessings yesterday, very happy (*^▽^*)
