Chapter 548 If you don't think about it, you won't move
When Mrs. Liu heard that her son was going to marry Chen Yan, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and agreed to match up. With the respect of his mother-in-law, he personally persuaded Chen Yan to marry into the Qin family. Chen Yan, naturally there is no reason not to refuse.
Such a thing is very rare in the era of the Tang Dynasty.
A woman like Chen Yan can't be said to be liked by men, but also by women. It is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are born as enemies, but Chen Yan is undoubtedly a rare "perfect daughter-in-law" in the world. Although Mrs. Liu had the shortest contact with her, she fell in love with her at the first time without any suspense.
In the words of the old lady, Chen Yan is already her biological daughter in her eyes, just like Shuang'er. Whoever marries a woman like her is a great blessing! She didn't shy away from saying it in front of Xuelian and others, because she knew that Chen Yan could afford such praise, and anyone would be convinced. Including Princess Gaoyang, who was born as an emperor, and Wu Mei Niang, who was the first to marry Qin Mubai.
Invisibly, Chen Yan, who has not yet passed the door, has long been the "leader of the inner house" of the Qin family, which means the leader Qunfang.
Marriage in the world is the words of parents' life matchmakers. Chen Yan's hometown is far away in the south of the Yangtze River and there are no direct relatives at home. The only godfather, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, also went far away to Liaodong, so the old lady was also worried. She kept comforting Chen Yan and said that the etiquette was not good. Please forgive her.
Chen Yan said to the old lady with a smile, I don't care about this.
Mrs. Liu said with a serious look, "How can you not care? What is more important than getting married in a woman's life? Although you and Sanlang have small buildings, this wedding should not be ambiguous! A good daughter-in-law like you can't find her with a lantern. I have repeatedly told Sanlang to make sure to make your wedding lively and elegant! ...Yan'er, listen to the old man say that in the future, Sanlang's family affairs will be asked to be hosted by you. Although Princess Gaoyang and Wu Mei Niang both have a marriage contract with Sanlang first, I think you are the only one who can really be worthy of Sanlang's internal help!"
Chen Yan smiled indifferently and didn't say anything.
The meaning of Mrs. Liu's words is to let Chen Yan take charge as the "right wife" of Qin Mubai's family in the future. In fact, there has been an "unspoken rule" for this matter, that is, to claim that Princess Gaoyang is the eldest, because after all, she is the princess and the first to get married; including Qin Mubai, they all respect Chen Yan.
If the old man has the old man's ideas, Chen Yan will certainly not argue and refute it. She knows that Qin Mubai is no better than any man in the world. He is very popular with women and is a little flirtatious, so there are many women around him. But he has never regarded any woman around him as a plaything. He knows how to respect people and will never abandon them. This is a valuable place for him. Although Qin Mubai is now surrounded by many women, there is no difference between wives and concubines in other big families.
Therefore, there is no way to talk about the difference between the so-called wife and concubines.
The Qin government issued a happy post, informing all the states, counties and military government under the governor's office of Lanzhou. For a while, He Long knew everything.
Qin Mubai's triumphant return and a big wedding. This is a double joy and a happy event for the whole Lanzhou. Therefore, the people of Lanzhou decorated the city with lanterns to celebrate. The merchants and rich gentry are also grateful for the benefits that the Qin family and their sons have made for them over the years. They have spontaneously collected a huge amount of money to decorate the whole city. Even every tree in the city is hung with colorful silk, and the road is decorated with auspicious lanterns. Every family is like celebrating a big festival, wearing new clothes and hanging colorful silk, gongs and drums and laughing loudly.
Although Chen Yan has always disliked to show off, she saw all this in front of her eyes without saying anything, and her heart was shocked and moved. Because he knows that Qin Mubai has never been a vulgar and frivolous person, it is abnormal for him to do so many "common things" now. The reason is nothing more than to give her a grand wedding that she will never forget.
Chen Yan has never had any requirements for Qin Mubai, let alone let him deliberately do or change something for himself.
But Qin Mubai said that I have been treating you badly for so many years. Therefore, starting from the wedding, I will forgive you and compensate you for the rest of my life!
For the first time, Chen Yan cried for him in front of Qin Mubai.
On the wedding day, Shuang'er dressed up the bride for Chen Yan.
"Sister Yan... Oh, I have to call you sister-in-law, hee hee!" Shuang'er combed Chen Yan's hair and smiled, "You are so beautiful! It's a great blessing for my brother to marry you! It's a blessing that has only been cultivated for eight lifetimes!"
Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "Shaohua's half-shi face is old, and I am no longer young. Compared with Mei Niang and Princess Gaoyang, I'm a bad old woman. Where is it beautiful?"
"The kind and happy person is the most beautiful..." Shuang'er whispered, "Sister-in-law, to be honest, you are not as young as Mei Niang and Gao Yang, but in our eyes, you are the most beautiful! My brother also loves you the most! He once said to me, 'A woman like Chen Yan, her charm has little to do with her appearance. Her beauty is from the inside, and she can withstand the passing years, and the longer she is fragrant. The longer she gets along with her, the more intoxicating and fascinating she is. Hee hee, are these words very numb? But when my brother said these words, he had never been sincere and emotional. I have never heard of my brother describe a woman like this; I have never seen my brother, who is so attached to and deeply loved from the bottom of his heart!"
Chen Yan looked at herself in the mirror. The woman in the mirror, with an unprecedented happy smile on her face, nodded gently and said, "Shuanger, you're right, the happy woman is the most beautiful... I have never cared about my appearance, and I have never deliberately dressed up. But today, I think I am the most beautiful and happiest woman in the world!"
The wedding is indeed an unprecedented event. In addition to the invited guests, the people of Lanzhou also spontaneously came to join in the fun and surrounded the governor's mansion three floors.
Needless to say, the wedding is festive and lively. In fact, most of the officials and generals are secretly thinking: Young Commander Qin is really calm! Now his rumors are circulating all over the world, and many worries are ready to go. Not only was he not nervous at all, but he also acted completely unintentioned and idle to do happy things!
Naturally, they don't know that for Qin Mubai now, the so-called "big events in the world" have really experienced too much and seen too much. So I'm tired, tired, and tired. In his opinion, these are just a thing of the past. It's not as important as the friendship that he can grasp by reaching out his hand.
Just like what Master Qingshan said in the palace, the story of the Buddhist scriptures of "spider grass and rain and dew" is associated with demons. Qin Mubai doesn't want to miss any precious feelings in the world.
Don't cherish it when you have it, but you don't know it until you lose it. It's too late to regret it. In contrast, as long as he can get a safe family, he will let Qin Mubai remove his military power and resign from his official position now. He will not hesitate, so that he will be relaxed.
Once you see through fame and wealth, all the troubles in the world today are nothing more than the competition for power and interests. And this kind of competition is endless and never-ending! It is like an abyss. As long as you reach out and step in, you will be trapped in the mud forever.
The end is either to suffer from it for the rest of your life, or it is ruthlessly swallowed up and doomed. The former is like a generation of British lord Li Shimin. He is destined to leave a legacy in history, but what can he do? Until the day he died, he could never get rid of this endless suffering. No one knew the pain and helplessness in his heart; the latter, such as the garqinling, Li Chengqian and Hou Junji, could not be enumerated.
So - no matter the wind and rain, I will not move.
Buddha said, 'When you start to give birth to your heart, if you are persistent, you will have love, dust, troubles and sorrows. If you use the root of profit, you will be bravely and straight down your body and mind, and if you practice to the place where a thought does not live, it is not live, that is the true face' - this is also the realm of Qin Mubai today.
The wedding candle, Qin Mubai and Chen Yan, drink each other.
Chen Yan, who has always been plain-faced, put on a little light makeup today, with pink peach cheeks and eyes with spring rosy, which is delicate and touching.
It's been a noisy day. Although I'm happy, I'm also a little tired. The two of them had two drinks and sat quietly. They stared at each other, but they were speechless for a long time.
"Yan, do you remember the first time we met?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Remember. At that time, I almost killed you with a sword. Chen Yan smiled.
"How time flies..." Qin Mubai sighed gently, "At that time, I was still a fledgling young boy. I took everything for granted, but with a little self-proclaimed little cleverness, I was frivolous. Over the years, I may have experienced much more than most people have experienced in their lifetimes. Therefore, I have also seen through many things and figured it out. In this life, everything is life and death. Only in the day of life, it is enough to cherish the people around you!"
"Mu Bai, compared with those years, you really seem to be a different person." Chen Yan smiled and said, "When I first saw you, I thought you were just a frivolous and vulgar official, and I was very disgusted with you. After getting along with each other for a long time, I know that you are not only smart and forging ahead, but also have a kind heart. But what really moved me to you is in Xiangyang. I will never forget every moment we get along with each other in the small building outside Xiangyang City. It is the best time I have ever spent in my life! ...But despite this, I didn't think we would be together forever. Because I think that you and I have always been people from two worlds. It's easy to get along with each other, and it's even more difficult to talk about being together. Even if we have a small building, I have always thought so. But now, the facts are in front of me... Mu Bai, I want to say to you: Thank you! It's you who let me have no regrets in my life!"
Qin Mubai smiled at the corners of his mouth, "This sentence should be right for me. I think I will be lucky to have you with me all my life!"
The two hugged each other tightly.
The red candle swayed, and the shadows are in pairs.
After another three days, Qin Mubai still hasn't left home. The affairs of the governor's office and the army are also ignored.
Now, even Pang Fei was a little calm and came to see Qin Mubai.
He asked, "Teacher, what should we do now? People all over the world are staring at Lanzhou, slandering that Lanzhou is gathering soldiers and horses to brew a rebellion. In a few days, the army led by General Xue and General Yuwen will come back. How can we deal with it?
"300,000 troops returned from the western expedition, and the journey was full of thousands of people. We need to rectify the soldiers and horses and rest. Qin Mubai said lightly, "What do outsiders think, let him go. Let's just don't mess up ourselves.
Pang Fei said, "That's right. But in case... the court really appoints the king of Wei as the crown prince, where will we go?"
The implication is, shouldn't the Kansai Army have something to do at this time? Even if you put a little pressure on the court, you can't let the King of Wei enter the East Palace.
Qin Mubai frowned slightly, "Pang Fei, your mentality is not right! ...It can be killed, you know?"
Pang Fei was so scared that he bounced and said quickly, "The teacher misunderstood! How dare the students threaten the court, just... fight for it, can't you?"
"I'm still the same sentence. If you don't argue, it's a big fight." Qin Mubai said calmly, "Now, no matter what we do, it is inappropriate. Therefore, it is the best strategy to move without moving the eight winds in one thought, and to brake the back with static braking.
Pang Fei couldn't refute it, so he just nodded and said, "What if the court orders the teacher and me to return to the court?"
There was a flash in Qin Mubai's eyes, "Then go!"
"What if it's a Hongmen banquet?"
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I'm not Pei Gong. My ambition is not in the world. Why should I entertain me with a Hongmen banquet? - Wait! It won't be long before there will be a wind on the other side of the court. Because I plan to write to the court that the Western Regions of Tibet have been paced, and there is no need to station so many soldiers and horses in Kansai. Therefore, I want to hand over the military power and resign!"
Pang Fei was stunned and speechless.
Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "Pang Fei, tell you the truth. In fact, the rumors about me were spread by myself.
"Ah?!" Pang Fei was stunned.
"You heard it right. That's it." Qin Mubai said lightly, "At that time, my idea was the same as yours. I also wanted to use my own strength to interfere with the court, so as to protect the king of Wu and help him seize the throne. But now... I think I was too naive at that time. It turns out that no matter how big the meritorious official is, it is just a cold chess piece in the eyes of the court; the people in the court will not tell you anything humane. They only have interests in their eyes. But with the rumors between the market, they can treat me as a thief. This makes me feel cold, but it's also a good thing. It's just such a small temptation that makes me completely recognize the meanness and ruthlessness of politics.
"Try..." Pang Fei chewed these two words and was speechless.
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "The king of Wu is not dead, and the king of Wei will not become the prince. But my Qin Mubai will not continue to stay in the court and assist Xinjun to work for the Tang Dynasty. Pang Fei, please convey these words to His Majesty the Emperor and reassure him that I, Qin, have no ambition, and will not do anything harmful to the Tang Dynasty. Because... I belong to this era and love my country deeply!"
Pang Fei trembled all over and looked at Qin Mubai in astonishment.
Qin Mubai still smiled and said, "Over the years, Qin has been loyal to the Tang Dynasty and has no regrets. But what can be done for the Tang Dynasty is what is in front of us. Now, I come and understand clearly, and I am worthy of my heart and worthy of the Tang Dynasty!"
Pang Fei's expression had become a little nervous, and his face was pale, and he muttered, "Why did the teacher... suddenly say this to the students?"
Qin Mubai looked at him sideways and smiled without saying anything.
He stared at Pang Fei with trembling and panic.
"You sent the housekeeper Lu, didn't you? And today you deliberately provoked me with words? ...In fact, these temptations are meaningless." Qin Mubai smiled and said easily, "Pang Fei, in fact, I knew as early as when you transferred the Kansai Army from Xiangzhou that you were the eyeliner placed beside me by His Majesty and sent to monitor me. But I haven't cracked this matter. Because I know that you are also involuntarily, and loyalty to the king is the duty of your ministers. The teacher of heaven and earth, you are in front of you, you didn't do anything wrong.
Pang Fei fell down on his knees and sobbed with his head, "Master, I'm not against you!"
"Forget it. I don't blame you." Qin Mubai got up and walked out, "As I said, politics is always mean and ruthless. I'm tired of...really!"
