Recently, Gongsun Yang has actually been muttering in his heart: Junhou's thoughts, even if he is spared, he is half a person, and he has been with him for many years, but he is still a little unsure.

Originally, according to the plan, it was the beginning of spring, and it was almost this time to go to Jinyang.

I didn't want him to suddenly be early, just after the Lantern Festival, he said he was leaving.

Gongsun Yang is naturally indispensable.

As soon as Junhou spoke, the man at the bottom immediately broke his leg and ordered the generals to regroup. Those generals and sergeants who were going to go west with Junhou waved their tears and said goodbye to their wives and children, and just waited to set off.

Everything was ready, but it didn't come to pass. When Junhou returned from a trip to Endless City, he suddenly stopped talking about Jinyang.

On the contrary, every day when I see him, I come to the ya office as soon as it is dawn, and I will not leave until it is dark.

In fact, when the new year started, there really wasn't that much to do.

In order to seek good luck in a year, there has been a practice of not fighting at the beginning of the year since ancient times.

Therefore, after Zhengdan Day, there are really not so many important matters in the government office.

Gongsun Yang was puzzled.

Because he was waiting for Junhou to speak, he also asked him before.

Junhou said at the time that it is not easy to understand the vast number of soldiers and soldiers, and it is rare for the beginning of the year, so he changed his mind temporarily, so that everyone can have more time.

There was cheers from below, and they all thanked Junhou for their understanding.

Gongsun Yang was a little bit unconvinced by his intuition. But he could see that Junhou didn't want to leave yet.

So he didn't rush.

But at this moment, it really doesn't work.

Because things came out.

Three days ago, there was a quick report from Zhang Jian and Li Chong, saying that the fire in Longxi was when the Qiang people rebelled and attacked the Shangjun area. Fortunately it was suppressed. Please rush to the past as soon as possible, so that you can decide what to do next.

Last night, Bingzhou sent an urgent letter, and it was in Gongsunyang's hands now.

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

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

But he didn't show up today.

Gongsun Yang and the others' necks were almost straight, and they were about to send someone to the Wei House to deliver a letter, but they saw Junhou coming, so they quickly handed over the express and asked him casually.

Wei Shao opened the express, glanced at it, and handed it to Gongsun Yang.

Zhang Jian reported that Feng Zhao, the prefect of Liangzhou, secretly instigated the burning of the Qiang to commit a crime, in order to do something wrong. Please come quickly.

The Shaodang Qiang was the most powerful Qiang regime in the west. Like the Xiongnu, it first lived on animal husbandry, and then gradually merged with 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 group of Qiang people with a population of hundreds of thousands was naturalized into the Han family, but they were cruelly punished by Chen Xiang. rule. Chen Xiang regarded the Qiang people as cattle and horses and treated them cruelly. Not only did the Qiang people pay tribute to themselves, but the men were captured as slaves, and the women were used as prostitutes. The new leader of the Qiang people, Diao Mo, refused to accept it.

Chen Xiang lost Bingzhou last year. Wei Shao immediately beckoned Diaomo. But Diao Mo did not respond, and only retreated to the Qiang land.

Wei Shao was in a hurry to return to Youzhou at that time. Seeing that the border was peaceful, he temporarily put things aside and rushed back.

I didn't want to be so fast, and it was just the beginning of the year, and the people of Burning Dangqiang attacked Shangjun again. It also involved Feng Zhao, the prefect of Liangzhou.

"What's wrong with your lord?"

Gongsun Yang asked.

Ping Xiliang, accept the Qiang people, and put an end to future troubles for others to go south. This is the military purpose of Wei Shao going to Jinyang in the new year. Gongsun Yang is naturally clear.

Wei Shao frowned and said, "I'll leave tomorrow morning! The army will be dispatched within three days, and it can be sent to Jinyang at normal speed."

When Wei Shao came back from the ya office, Fang didn't arrive at noon.

He usually seldom returns home at this o'clock. The servants and maids left behind by Isaiah were surprised. Serving meals.

Xiao Qiao still did not return.

Wei Shao was a little uneasy. He didn't eat any food, so he rode out of the city and headed for the Taishe Temple.

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

At the auspicious time, the drum sounded, and Yuyang Ling led the villagers who participated in the sacrifice behind him to kneel and kowtow three times to the earth god, toast wine, food, and seeds of five grains. Xiao Qiao, she inserted her own hands into the altar, and prayed again, and the sacrificial ceremony was completed.

As the lord of a land, the Wei family has always been loved by the people. Madam Zhu, who had led the sacrifice in the first few years, was arrogant. This year, the queen was changed. The people saw that the new mistress of the Wei family was young and beautiful, with a lovely smile, and they all fell over.

This is also a traditional Taishe sacrifice entertainment project. In the pavilions of each clan, they offered new wines, and after tasting them, they chose one of them as offering wines and placed them on the farm altar. If you are selected, all of them will be honored in the pavilion.

The people were kind, but Xiao Qiao was hard-pressed, and came to the wine tasting table together with Yuyang Ling.

On a row of shelves, wine jars are neatly placed. The belly of the altar is affixed with red paper, and each has the mark of the clan pavilion, which is clear at a glance.

Noble women, like men, drink wine.

Mrs. Xu's drinking capacity is very good. Even at this age, gargle with warm wine after every meal.

Xiao Qiao's alcohol intake is light, and he doesn't drink much on weekdays. When I saw that there were such a long line of wine jars waiting for me to drink one by one, I felt dizzy.

It's just that everyone has arrived here, and all around are full of expectant gazes. It's like catching a duck on the shelves, so they can only bite the bullet and go up with Yuyang Ling, starting from the first unsealed wine jar, tasting wine one by one.

Fortunately, each wine jar only takes one, and she only needs a light sip to get the taste.

Since they were all new wines that were carefully brewed and sent by a clan, it was related to the honor of each pavilion, so she did not dare to perfunctory.

Every sip of wine, try to sip the taste. Thick or light, astringent or moist, there are dozens of wine jars in total, and they tasted all of them from beginning to end.

In the end, she negotiated with Yuyang Ling and chose one of them as the winner.

At that time, the villagers in the pavilion cheered, scooped wine and invited people to taste it, and offered new wine on the farm altar. Then came the social dance.

There were drums in the mulberry forest, people were happy and happy, young men and women chased around the mulberry tree, leaving bursts of joyful laughter.

There were so many wines just now, although she only took a small sip of each, but they added up a lot. When Yuyang Ling came to invite her to watch the show, Xiao Qiao's heart was already beating, and her cheeks were a little red. Fortunately, there were Chunniang and Lin Ni who were there to help each other, so that they would not appear drunk.

Xiao Qiao also knew that he was about to lose his drinking power, lest he would make a fool of himself when he was drunk, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your love and love from the envoy and the villagers. Today is auspicious, Zhaoxing's crops will be blessed, and Li Shu will be blessed. To make the ruler and the people rejoice, I will leave first."

Yuyang Ling saw that her cheeks were slightly flushed, and he knew that she should not be able to drink, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly bowed and gave it away.

Xiao Qiao leaves the temple and leaves the mulberry forest. Along the way, countless villagers greeted her farewell to her, including the group of young children of the county school who had gone to the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West to peek at her beauty.

These people came here today, originally just to make fun. It would be even more icing on the cake if the orchid can be presented as a gift to the 28th beauties. Many of them came to Sanglin last year, knowing that the mistress of the Wei family came to participate in the sacrifice was the middle-aged woman, so naturally they would not have much expectations this year.

But I didn't expect that the one who showed up this morning turned out to be the young girl who couldn't get a glimpse of it last year. If he really looks like a fairy, at first sight, his eyes glow, his legs are fixed on the ground, and he can't move.

Ever since Xiao Qiao showed up, the disciples of the county school have followed closely. Wherever she goes, these people follow. Seeing that she was leaving at the moment, because of her status, I didn't dare to get too close, so they all surrounded and followed, just to get one or two more last glances at her.

When Xiao Qiao came out, a group of frivolous children of the county school of science surrounded him, scrambling to push each other, with an expression on his face that was about to burst into laziness, which was extremely dazzling.

Wei Shao rode to Sanglinkou and saw such a scene.

He neither showed up, nor did he show up. He only stopped the horse and watched from a distance that Xiao Qiao was sent to the carriage by Yuyang Ling. Chunniang Lin Ni helped her into the carriage.

The carriage leaves.

Xiao Qiao sat in the carriage and walked for a while, getting more and more drunk. Even the head is dizzy. Some weakly closed their eyes, leaned against Chunniang's arms, and gradually fell asleep. He didn't even notice when he entered the city and returned to the Wei Mansion, and why did he return to the Wei Mansion.

Misty only felt as if Chunniang hugged her out of the carriage, then walked in with her, and finally put her on the bed.

Feeling that what was touching under her body seemed to be a bed, she relaxed immediately, fell into a drunken sleep, and fell asleep.

Chunniang and Lin Ni stood aside, watching the man who had just picked up the lady from the carriage, carried her all the way in, and put him on the bed.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be looking very well, they were uneasy.

Wei Shao looked away from Xiao Qiao's face who was sleeping soundly, and said to Chunniang, "Since the lady can't drink, you are also a useful person by her side, why don't you persuade her? You're actually drunk outside. With this appearance, what kind of system does it become?"

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

Although the man has always had a bad temper, it was the first time that he had come to Wei's house for so long. Chunniang felt ashamed when he heard him speak to her in such a serious tone, and did not dare to defend herself, she only said, "What the man said. Yes. The maid was indeed negligent. Next time, I will be more careful to serve the queen."

Lin Li didn't even dare to take a sip of the air, she just lowered her head and didn't move.

Wei Shao brushed his hands. Chunniang and Lin Ni looked at each other and turned to leave the house.

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

Xiao Qiao did not expect that he would be unexpectedly drunk when participating in the sacrifice today.

She is now sinking into drunken land, but has a strange dream.

In the dream, her body seemed to be brushed by a soft brush. It was very comfortable. The comfort even made her shiver. They all relaxed slowly.

She was light and fluttering, and she was lifted above the water waves by something, and she seemed to be floating in the clouds, rippling.

She felt very comfortable, and couldn't help humming softly in her dream.
