Gongsun Yang has been wondering recently: I am still half a person's mind for you, and I have been with you for many years, but I still can't guess it.

Originally, as planned, it was spring, so I would go to Jinyang almost now.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly started early. He just passed the Lantern Festival and said he wanted to leave.

Gongsun Yang is naturally inseparable.

With a word from Junhou, the man behind the head immediately ran off his legs and called the generals to reorganize the troops. The generals and soldiers who wanted to follow Junhou to cry and farewell to their wives and children, and were just waiting to set off.

Everything is ready, but unexpectedly, Junhou came back after a trip to Wuzhong City and suddenly stopped talking about Jinyang.

But every day I see him coming to the government office just as dawn is dawn, and I will never leave until dark.

Actually, it was just the beginning of the year, and there were really not so many things.

In order to achieve good luck for the whole year, there has been a custom of not fighting for the first year since ancient times.

So after the day, there are really not so many important things in the government office. I tied the king and the lord to work hard on the desk.

Gongsun Yang was puzzled.

Because my head was waiting for Junhou to speak, I asked him before.

Junhou said at the time that it is not easy to understand the generals and soldiers, and it is rare to get the first year of the year. Therefore, he changed his mind temporarily to give everyone more leisure.

There was a lot of joy below, and everyone was grateful for your understanding.

Gongsun Yang was a little unbelievable by intuition. But he saw that Junhou didn't want to leave.

So he didn't urge him.

But at this moment, it really won’t work without urging.

Because things have come out.

Three days ago, Zhang Jian and Li Chong came to a quick report, saying that the Shaodang Qiang people in Longxi were in rebellion and attacked the Shangjun area. Fortunately, they were suppressed. Please ask the lord to rush over as soon as possible to make a decision.

Last night, Bingzhou sent another quick report, which was now in Gongsun Yang's hands.

Although he was still waiting for Junhou to come and demolish it, he guessed that it should be the follow-up to the Shangjun chaos.

So when he got up early in the morning, he was waiting for the king to come.

But he has not appeared today.

Gongsun Yang and others were almost straightening their necks. They were about to send someone to the Wei Mansion to send a message, but when they saw Junhou coming, they quickly handed over the express and asked casually.

Wei Shao dismantled the express newspaper, browsed it, and handed it to Gongsun Yang.

Zhang Jian reported that he suspected that the governor of Liangzhou, Feng Zhao, secretly instigated the Qiang to commit crimes and used his intent to make a mistake. He asked the lord to come quickly.

Shaodang Qiang was the Qiang regime with the largest power in the western region. Like the Huns, they first made a living by livestock, and then gradually merged into the Han Dynasty and turned to farming. In the impression of the Han people, the Qiang people "are extremely terrifying and not like strangers". More than ten years ago, this Qiang people with a population of hundreds of thousands were naturalized in the Han Dynasty, but later they were cruelly ruled by Chen Xiang. Chen Xiang regarded the Qiang people as cattle and horses and treated them cruelly. Not only did the Qiang people ask the Qiang people to pay tribute to themselves, but they captured men and became slaves, and women became prostitutes. The new leader of the Qiang people, Eu, all conquered them, and broke into trouble again, and once captured Xihe County.

Last year, Chen Xiang lost Bingzhou. Wei Shao immediately recruited Diaomo to comfort Diaomo. However, Diaomo did not respond and retreated to Qiang.

Wei Shao was in a hurry to return to Youzhou. Seeing that the border was peaceful, he temporarily gave up his affairs and rushed back.

I didn't expect that it was so soon. Just as the beginning of the year, the Qiang people in Shaodang attacked Shangjun again. They also involved Feng Zhao, the governor of Liangzhou.

"Why did the lord break?"

Gongsun Yang asked.

To pacify Xiliang, recruit Qiang people, and to prevent future troubles in the future, this was the military purpose of Wei Shao going to Jinyang at the beginning of the year. Gongsun Yang naturally knew it.

Wei Shao frowned and said, "I'll leave tomorrow morning! The army will set off within three days and be sent to Jinyang at regular speed."

...

Wei Shao returned from the government office and was less than noon.

He usually rarely returns home at this hour. He was surprised by the servants and maids left in the west room and serves the meal.

Xiao Qiao still didn't return.

Wei Shao was a little uneasy and didn't even eat. He rode out of the city and headed towards the Taishe Temple.

The first Taishe Temple Festival in February is of great significance to farmers who make a living by farming. Early in the morning, the villagers in each pavilion brought leeks, eggs and the new wine they brewed at home last year, and gathered from all directions to the Taishe Temple in the mulberry forest in the eastern suburbs to participate in the sacrifice.

At auspicious time, the sound of the skin drum sounded, and Yuyang Order led the villagers behind him to perform one kneeling and three kowtows to the earth god, toasting, toasting, toasting, toasting the grains, and touting the prayer text. Finally, he handed the incense to Xiao Qiao after purging his hands, and inserted it into the farm altar with her own hands, and prayed again, and the sacrifice ceremony was completed.

As a lord of the Wei family, they have always been loved by the people. Mrs. Zhu, who was in charge of the sacrifice in the first few years, was arrogant. After the sacrifice, she would definitely get on the car and leave. This year, she changed her daughter. Seeing that the new mistress of the Wei family was young and beautiful, she smiled in a friendly way, she was all over her. After that, she walked towards her, surrounded her, and asked the daughter to taste the new wine, judge the victory, and enjoy the people.

This is also a traditional Taishe sacrificial entertainment project. In each zong surname pavilion, new wine is presented. After evaluating, one of them is selected as a wine to place it in the agricultural altar. If it is selected, all zong surname pavilions will be honored.

The people were very kind, but Xiao Qiao couldn't help but come to the wine tasting platform with Yuyang Ling.

On a row of racks, wine jars were neatly placed. The belly of the jar was covered with red paper, and each had the marks from the clan pavilion, which was clearly visible at a glance.

Aristocratic women are like men, who are entertaining to drink.

Mrs. Xu has a very good alcohol tolerance. Even at this age, she rinses her mouth with warm wine after each meal.

Xiao Qiao was not very good at drinking and didn't drink much on weekdays. When she saw such a long jar was placed there waiting for her to drink one by one, she felt distressed.

But everyone has arrived here, and the eyes of anticipation are all around him, as if they are on the shelves. They can only bite their teeth and go up with Yuyang Ling, starting from the first opened wine jar, and tasting wine one by one.

Fortunately, she only needs to take one cup per jar, and she only needs to drink a light sip to taste it.

Because they were all new wines that were carefully brewed and selected by a clan, it was related to the honors of each pavilion, and she did not dare to do anything perfunctorily.

Every sip of wine tastes as good as possible. It is strong or light, astringent or moist. Slowly, there are dozens of wine jars in total, from beginning to end, and they all taste them one by one.

Finally, she discussed with Yuyang Ling and chose one of them as the winner.

At that time, the villagers in the pavilion cheered and scooped wine to invite people to enjoy it. They also offered new wine to the farmer's jar. Then there was the social drama and dance.

The drums and music in the mulberry forest were filled with joy and joy, and young men and women were chasing around the mulberry trees, leaving behind bursts of cheerful laughter.

There were so many wines just now. Although she drank a small sip of each, it added up a lot. All kinds of wines were mixed together. The root of her tongue was oozing into her belly, and it gradually became burnt. When Yuyang Ling came to invite her to watch the show with her, Xiao Qiao's heart was already thundering, and her cheeks were a little red. Fortunately, Chunniang and Lin Madam were helping each other, so she would not show any drunkenness.

Xiao Qiao knew that he might not be able to hold on to the alcohol, and was afraid that he would fall into a drunk place and would make a fool of himself. He smiled and said, "Thank you, the envoy and all the villagers for their kindness. Today, it is a good fortune. The envoy will surely bless the common people. The envoy and the people will share the joy. I will say goodbye first."

Seeing that her cheeks were slightly flushed, Yu Yangling knew that she could not bear the alcohol, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly bowed to show her to him.

Xiao Qiao left the temple and left the mulberry forest. Along the way, countless villagers greeted her in the streets, among which there were the young children of county and national studies who had once visited the Queen Mother's Palace in the West who had peeped at her beautiful beauty.

These people came here today just to make a living. If they could meet a beautiful woman with orchids, it would be even more icing on the cake. Many of them came to Sanglin last year and knew that the mistress of the Wei family who came to participate in the sacrifice was the middle-aged woman, so naturally they would not have any expectations this year.

But I didn't expect that the young girl who showed up this morning was the one who wanted to take a look last year but couldn't get it. She looked like a fairy. At first glance, her eyes were glowing, her legs were fixed on the ground, and she couldn't move.

Since Xiao Qiao appeared, the children of the county and national students followed him without a trace. Wherever she went, these people also followed him. Seeing that she was about to leave, due to her identity, she did not dare to get too close. They all surrounded her, just to follow her for one or two more times.

Xiao Qiao came out, and a group of frivolous children from the county and national studies surrounded him, rushing to push each other, with a look of drooling on his face, which looked particularly dazzling.

Wei Shao rode his horse to Sanglinkou and saw this scene.

He neither showed up nor showed up. He stopped the horse and watched from afar as Xiao Qiao was sent to the carriage by Yuyang Order. Chunniang Lin Mom helped her onto the carriage.

The carriage left.

...

Xiao Qiao sat in the carriage and walked for a while, her drunkenness became stronger and stronger. Even her head was dizzy. She closed her eyes weakly, leaned against Chunniang's arms, and gradually fell asleep drunk. She didn't even notice when she entered the city and how she returned to the Wei Mansion.

The hazy feeling was as if Chunniang had her out of the carriage, and then walked in, and finally put her on the bed.

Feeling that what she touched under her seemed to be a bed, she relaxed and completely fell into her drunken dream, and fell asleep.

Chunniang and Lin Yi stood aside, watching the male gentleman who had just carried the female king out of the carriage, and then carried it all the way in and put it on the bed.

Seeing that his expression seemed not very good, each of them was uneasy.

Wei Shao's eyes moved away from Xiao Qiao's face, and said to Chunniang: "Since the girl cannot drink, you are also a useful person by her side, why don't you persuade her? How can you be so drunk when you are outside?"

Although his tone was flat, the questioning in his words was about to come out.

Although the male king has never had a good temper, it is still the first time he has been to the Wei family for so long. When Chunniang heard him talking to her in such a heavy tone, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and dared not defend herself. She just said, "What the male king said is, it is indeed a negligence from maids. Next time, she will definitely serve the female better."

My mother Lin didn't even dare to breathe her breath, so she just lowered her head and kept motionless.

Wei Shao brushed his hand. Chunniang and Lin Madam looked at each other and turned around and left the house.

Wei Shao stood in front of the bed for a moment, staring at Xiao Qiao who was drunk and asleep.

...

Xiao Qiao didn't expect that when she attended the sacrificial ceremony today, she would accidentally get drunk.

She has now sunk into the drunken land, but has a strange dream.

In the dream, my body seemed to be brushed by a soft brush, which was very comfortable, and even made her shiver. Her jade feet and toes were curled up tightly, but every pore on her skin slowly opened.

She was light and lifted by something, and she seemed to be floating among the clouds, rippling extremely.
