10. The blind man

Wei Shao slowly lowered his hand holding the sword, pointing to the ground, but the man still maintained his original posture, and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Qiao's face.

The two pupils in his eyes seemed to be frozen and remained motionless. Maybe because they just woke up, or because they were reflected by the red candles on the side, they turned into a red brown with a light transparent glaze, like the color of amber.

When Xiao Qiao was stared at by such a pair of eyes, she tightened her whole body and did not dare to move. Her eyes were also wide open and she looked at him passively.

A trace of wind came in from some corner from which corner. The candlelight shook gently, and the side-faced candle shadow cast out from Xiao Qiao's face.

Wei Shao seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, his shoulders moved slightly, and he didn't look down. The sword was inserted into the scabbard with a "click". After putting it on the bed, he sat on the edge of the bed, bent down and put on his boots, then grabbed the sword, got up and strode out.

Xiao Qiao watched his back and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Shao walked to the edge of the screen, suddenly stopped again and turned his head.

Xiao Qiao's breath that had not yet been relieved was immediately held in her chest again.

"It's not suitable for you to stay here. I'll send you back to Yuyang tomorrow."

He said lightly. He turned around and finally left. His figure turned over the screen, and the door opened with a "ah", and then the footsteps gradually faded away and finally disappeared into his ears.

Xiao Qiao finally finished his breath, and finally touched the edge of the bed. When she sat down slowly, she found that her hands were trembling slightly, and there was a cold sweat on her back. Her inner shirt was tightly pressed against her skin, which was very cold and uncomfortable.

...

Wei Shao went to the study room, and when he was about to come, he stopped and looked around.

During the day, the Xin Palace is often empty because there are not many people. Moreover, it is only the fourth day of the sky, and it is the deepest moment of the night. It is all silent, and the servants in the Xin Palace are still immersed in their dreams.

His gaze fell on the terrace behind him that was clearly outlined by the darkness.

A moment later, he climbed up to the tall building built on a high rammed earth platform, and leaned on the railings to face the night wind that was a bit of bone-sudden cold, and looked at the city wall under the dark night and the fields outside the city wall. When he was in a daze, he heard a slight slight footsteps behind him, turned his head, and by the starlight above his head, he identified that it was the marching Sima Gongsun Yang.

"How can the lord sit on the railing alone in the bridal chamber?"

Gongsun Yang greeted Wei Shao and smiled when he approached.

...

Gongsun Yang, whose courtesy name is Buen, was from Zhangqiu, Taishan, and was forty years old. He was a father of Wei Shao in his early years. Because of his humble origin, Wei Jing was full of talents and was also unknown. After Wei Jing died, Youzhou was once in a dilemma of being attacked from all sides. He was outstanding in eloquence and had excellent performance in the transformation of the alliance and alliance. He made Youzhou dangerous and safe several times. He was gradually valued by Mrs. Xu. After Wei Shao ruled the army, he followed Wei Shao to fight in the east and west. He was in office.

He was appointed as a marching Sima, and was Wei Shao's confidant counselor. Wei Shao relied heavily on him. This time, the Qiao family in Yanzhou took the initiative to show their goodwill with their marriage. When the envoy came, Wei Shao happened to be away. When he came back, he heard the news that his grandmother, Mrs. Xu, had already agreed to the marriage on his behalf. He was unwilling to do so, because the envoy had just left and planned to send someone to chase him and intercept him. Gongsun Yang Yili advised him. Wei Shao finally accepted his advice and responded to the marriage.

...

"Sir, why don't you hide the quilt? Why are you here to blow the wind?"

Wei Shao asked back.

"I got drunk last night. I woke up and was no longer sleepy. Seeing the glorious galaxy, I just came to this night to watch the star signs. I didn't want to meet my lord."

After Gongsun Yang finished speaking, he smiled, walked to Wei Shao, and said, "I once heard a proverb in Yanzhou that 'Luo Water is very godly, and two Qiao accounts for eight points'. I didn't believe it, but it was an exaggeration. When I saw it at the wedding tonight, Qiao Nu did praise her like this. I looked at her behavior and expression, and there was no timidity in everyone's eyes, and she was ladies. The lord was so beautiful, so happy to congratulate her!"

Wei Shao's eyes appeared in front of him, and his eyes were clearly frightened, and his eyes were wide open. He could even clearly see her eyelashes trembling slightly, but he tried his best to make a calm face in front of him. He was silent for a moment and said lightly: "It's just that I listened to the advice of the gentleman and went with the flow and took advantage of the situation. How could I be so happy? I'll ask her to go back to Yuyang tomorrow."

Gongsun Yang was slightly stunned. He looked at him and saw that he looked indifferent. He smiled and said, "Okay, Henan (south of the Yellow River) should be used to send him a quick tour, so he should not be too hasty. Now that the marriage is complete, the daughter goes to Yuyang to serve the elders and perform filial piety on behalf of the lord. The lord is determined to plan great things, which is also a good thing."

Wei Shao didn't answer the conversation, just smiled.

"Yu Ye is watching the star signs. In the purple vein wall, the imperial star is hidden and the white energy is overwhelming. I am afraid that the world will soon be in chaos and all people will suffer from the suffering of disaster."

Gongsun Yang looked up at the starry sky and suddenly sighed.

Wei Shao followed the direction he pointed and looked up, and saw the stars hanging in the sky, with bright spots, and there was no sign of anything. He said, "I have always admired the god of sir."

Gongsun Yang shook his head: "My lord is a mischievous praise. I am just a good person who is good at verbalizing. If you talk about gods, there is really one person in the world who is half of my teacher. The surname is Wang and his name is Jin. He calls himself Bai Shi. He is a legitimate disciple of the Mo family for twenty generations. He not only has the skills of erectile dynasty, but also has the wisdom of heaven, and is also good at the medical skills of the Yellow Emperor. Compared with this, I am like a firefly in the stars and the moon, which is not worth mentioning."

Wei Shao raised his eyebrows: "Where is such a sage man now?"

Gongsun Yang said, "When I was young, I searched everywhere and wanted to join the Mo Sect. Huang Tian was willing to let go. Finally, I met the old man. I cherished the mediocre qualifications and was not accepted by the disciples. But I was also lucky to have the guidance of the old man for three months and enjoy the rest of my life. Ten years ago, I had the honor to meet the old man again by chance. Only then did I realize that he was concerned about the world and traveled around the world again to save the world and save the world. Now, ten years have passed, and I don't know where he is. If he is there, he should be in his seventies."

A gust of cold wind blew, and Gongsun Yang suddenly started coughing.

He was injured accidentally when he was with the army in his early years, but later he recovered, but he left behind the root of the disease, often coughing, and his body became damaged.

"It's cold and cold, and sir is weak, I'll take sir back to my room."

Wei Shao said immediately.

Gongsun Yang said he didn't dare to say that he could go back. Wei Shao didn't force himself, so he took off his cloak and put it on Gongsun Yang's shoulder, watching his back go downstairs.

After Gongsun Yang left, Wei Shao leaned on the railing alone and subconsciously looked at the constellation that Gongsun Yang pointed at him just now.

Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it.

In Wei Shao's ambition, a clearer and clearer future picture has been drawn slowly.

The Yellow River is divided into north and south, the heartland of the Central Plains of Nanheluo, and the ancient Yan, Zhao and Wei. Ten years ago, when his father was still alive, there were no less than ten warlords of all sizes in the north. To this day, most of them have been eroded and annexed, and the remaining ones are not worth worrying. However, they are born with strong people. Now, the vast northern land is only Bingzhou Chen Xiang who can compete with him.

His first goal now is to swallow Bingzhou, seize this territory known as the Longxi granary, unify the north, and then conquer the land of Henan, so that he finally advances westward and achieves great things.

The terrain of Yanzhou is a convenient way for him to move south in the future. The two families marry each other and use the Wei family to protect the Qiao family's status in Yanzhou today. In fact, it is like the Qiao family guarding this way for him to go south. His grandmother, Mrs. Xu, had a deep vision and probably realized this, so she decided to accept the Qiao family's show of kindness for him. Of course, this is also why although he was extremely reluctant, he finally listened to Gongsun Yang's advice and agreed to the only reason for this marriage.

Since he was ten years old, he sat on a horse and followed his father, who was the governor of Youzhou, to fight against the Huns who had crossed the border, and reached Yunzhong and Shuofang outside the Great Wall. In his mind, his father was like a god. Ten years ago, the Qiao family was betrayed and made him lose his kind father and elder brother. He never believed the so-called explanation of "the messenger was intercepted and killed halfway". People who were inferior to pigs and dogs, like Li Su of Chen County, will one day destroy him and be soon. Now he is marrying Qiao Nu is just to treat him by the way of others. Apart from the psychological disgust brought to him by this marriage, he does not think there is anything wrong.

As for the daughter of the Qiao family...

He turned his gaze and looked down at the direction of the Sheyang New House that he had just walked out a moment ago.

From a distance, the window still shone with red candlelight, which was very conspicuous against the darkness around it.

I can only blame her for being unlucky. Wei Shao thought this way, and the scene of seeing her at the wedding first glance as she was led towards him step by step.

The raw ones are barely visible; the flesh on the body is combined with the upper and lower parts, and it is probably not enough to make up two taels.

He subconsciously pulled the corner of his mouth.

...

After Wei Shao left, Xiao Qiao no longer wanted to sleep and sat in the room with a quilt wrapped around her until dawn.

He did not show his face again. When Chunniang and the others came in to serve her and washed up, there was news in the mansion that the bride would not be happy with the king and would be sent away the next day to Yuyang.

Yuyang is the place where the Wei family's foundation is located. Wei Shao's grandmother, Mrs. Xu, and his widowed mother, are all there now.

Originally, the daughter-in-law went to her hometown to serve her elders and fulfill her filial piety for her husband. However, she was hurriedly sent away the next day of her wedding...

This is too embarrassing!

Chunniang was forced to do nothing in front of Xiao Qiao at first, but later she couldn't help it. She sent the maid out, held Xiao Qiao's hand, and said with tears in her eyes: "My lady, the maid heard it early in the morning. When a servant got up at the fourth night, she saw Marquis Wei from afar. Why did he leave the room so early? Could it be that you forgot the maid's previous advice and angered him, and he sent you to Yuyang today?"

To put it bluntly, Chunniang's meaning is that the servants in the residence are rumoring that the sexual intercourse in the bridal chamber was unrest last night, and Marquis Wei was not satisfied with the bride, so he would send her back to his hometown today.

The grievance and depression that Xiao Qiao felt in her heart was also unspeakable.

She couldn't tell Chunniang that the groom Wei Shao came back drunk and went to bed without even looking at her. She stayed awake until the second half of the night, but she wanted to keep a quilt warm, so she almost killed him as an assassin.

How many bad things did this person do on weekdays that he became alert to this kind of life in his sleep?

"I didn't offend him, and he didn't get involved in me last night. He just didn't like me. My uncle and the Wei family had their own plans. Since I was willing to get married, I was prepared in my heart. It's okay to go to Yuyang. Sooner or later, why bother to worry about it? As for what others say, it's all right. If I don't fall in love with you, don't be sad."

A situation like this will never be the last time. There will definitely be similar happening in the future. She didn't want Chun Niang to be hopeful and was disappointed again and again. She simply took this opportunity to explain it to her.

"Chunniang, your name is maid, and I regard you as a half-mother. When I married into the Wei family, you are the only one by my side whom I can fully trust. I hope you can also be firm in your mind and help me in the future when things happen."

Chunniang was dazed and looked at Xiao Qiao steadily.

The sun was shining in from the east window and pouring onto the side of the dressing table. The golden sunlight put a warm color on her tender skin, and even the subtle hairs on her earlobes could be seen clearly. She looked at herself and smiled, her eyes were bright, and there were beads flowing in it.

Such a woman is familiar to her and unfamiliar with her. But for some reason, Chunniang slowly grew confidence from the bottom of her heart, and her whole body seemed to have strength. A kind of slap that wanted to protect her was spontaneously.

"What the female teacher taught me is that! I have written it down! I will comb your hair and dress you up."

Chunniang quickly wiped away her tears, got up and stood behind Xiao Qiao, and began to comb her hair and dress her up.

She has a pair of skilled hands that can comb hair and dress up people, and her talent and later exploring slowly. When Xiao Qiao's mother was still alive, she often praised her skills and said that she could turn a woman's appearance into eight points.

Last night, she was worried that Marquis of Wei would make the Queen suffer if she didn't know the importance of it. She never expected that he would not touch the Queen.

Her dissatisfaction and depression were hard to describe. It was like a jewel hidden in a precious box. She was hidden in a precious box and was unwilling to show it to others. Now that she was sent to you, do you even dislike it and look down on it?

She had a great sense of awe for Wei Shao, but after this morning, she was already dissatisfied.

How blind should this Wei Hou be to the point where he turned a blind eye to his baby Xiao Qiao? He even humiliated her by sending her away the next day of his wedding?

The heavy makeup that suits wedding occasions last night was graceful and gorgeous, but it actually covered Xiao Qiao’s most charming □□. Today she must dress up for her daughter again.
