In the fourth year of Wude, Du Ruhui returned after a setback. Although Dongshan Temple has a long history, it gradually gained some fame... On the one hand, it was the Western Scriptures, and on the other hand, it was because of Dongshan Restaurant.
Since then, the incense in Dongshan Temple has flourished, and there has been an endless stream of dignitaries and dignitaries offering incense and worshiping Buddha. The young people in the village also specially laid bluestone slabs and transplanted various trees according to Li Shan's arrangement, so that the scenery of Dongshan Temple can be seen.
The carriage slowly stopped at the foot of the mountain. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Cui got out of the carriage. At first sight, they saw Zhang Wenguan and Li Kai welcoming guests in a pavilion not far away. At second glance, they saw the large forest behind the pavilion.
Cui Xin got off his horse and said with a smile: "You guys are here early."
"Uncle."
"Cousin." Li Kai saluted and said, "Ling Gong and Huo Guogong have arrived."
"Huo Guogong is also here." Cui Xin was surprised on WeChat. Ling Jing and Li Shan had a close relationship, so that was fine, but Chai Shao was obviously here to support the Li family.
In fact, Yu Wenshiji also wanted to come today...but he was afraid that Princess Nanyang would not let him enter the temple.
"aunt."
"Cousin."
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Cui slowly walked into the pavilion. The former asked with a smile: "I have heard about the name of Dongshan Temple for a long time, but it is a pity that there is still snow today, so it is difficult to see the beautiful scenery."
Zhang Wenguan pointed to the surrounding woods, "Aunt, in more than a month, this place will be red and white, so beautiful."
In February, there were only apricot blossoms in full bloom. Cui Xin nodded and said, "I heard Huairen mention that this is the place where the so-called 'wind from the willows does not blow cold on your face, and the rain of apricot blossoms wets your clothes'."
Zhang Wenguan winked at Miss Cui and said, "I will ask Brother Huairen to complete this poem in the future."
Cui Xin laughed and said, "Huairen has many incomplete sentences, but they haven't been crowned yet, so there's no rush."
Everyone climbed the mountain slowly. Although it snowed last night, the mountain road was cleaned by young people early in the morning. There were still green pine trees on both sides, peach trees with simple shapes, and occasionally a few small squirrels could be seen. Running around in the forest.
The gate of Dongshan Temple was opened, and Mr. and Mrs. Li Keshi and their two daughters-in-law, as well as Ling Jing, Chai Shao, and Zhu came out to welcome them. This was the first meeting between the two parties after they decided to get engaged.
Don't look at anything inappropriate. Cui Xin only glanced at it and turned his attention to Li Keshi, Chai Shao and others. He thought of his wife and daughter's description of the Zhu family... She has bright eyes, is compassionate and righteous, and is an extraordinary woman.
"Cui Sheren." Chai Shao smiled brightly, "I hope you'll forgive me for not mentioning this matter yesterday... Pingyang only gave the order in the evening, so I'm afraid I've treated Cui of Qinghe too slowly."
Cui Xin shook his head slightly, "Senior Brother Ke and Duke Ling are old friends for many years, how can we treat them lightly?"
Ling Jing sighed: "Last year I was in Qinghe, how could I have thought about today."
Several people were a little emotional. Last year, Li Shan first gained fame, was valued by Cui Xin, and was included in the list of candidates for son-in-law. Unexpectedly, Li Shan beheaded Cui Bo and put an end to the chaos in the blink of an eye... I thought everything was in vain, but things turned out unexpectedly. The willows are dark and the flowers are bright.
A few people were chatting. Zhang Wenguan and Li Kai were juniors and couldn't get in the conversation. They stood aside and listened to the chatter of the female family members... Changsun brought two daughters-in-law with her today just to liven up the conversation. She knew that Zhu was not a talkative person. People are afraid of being left in the cold.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Changsun family came from a branch of the Cui family in Boling. She pulled Miss Cui and whispered: "Li Langjun's poetry is unparalleled. Don't be stingy in the future."
"The poems recited by Huairen can be passed down to future generations, but it is a pity that there are still few poems and they are stingy with external transmission." Changsun couldn't help but said: "It's a pity that Huairen is thousands of miles away, otherwise he would not be able to write poems today."
Zhang Wenguan said with a smile: "In the coldest month of winter, there are no hibiscus flowers."
The girls burst into laughter, and Mrs. Cui lowered her head with laughter. Mrs. Zhang put her arms around her daughter's shoulders and said, "I heard that Huai Ren was good at singing flowers, and I just saw the peach trees on the roadside. When I return to Beijing next year, I will write some good poems."
Li Shanshan's flower chanting... also has excellent works on lotus, peony, and apricot blossom, but Zhang Wenguan and Li Kai both looked strange. Starting from this year, several poems about flower chanting... will be published almost every day.
Why?
Of course it’s because of Li Shan’s line, “The spring breeze is so exciting that horseshoes are broken, and I can see all the flowers in Chang’an in one day.” It’s also because of the song he was forced to write later, “Only peonies are the true national beauty, and when the flowers bloom, they move in Chang’an.” Now Pingkang Some cards in the square have been replaced with flower names.
The female family members didn't understand, but these men... all understood. Seeing Chai Shao and Li Keshi suppressing their laughter, and then thinking about the beautiful concubines and maids accompanying Li Shan, Cui Xin looked a little ugly, waved his sleeves and said: "And go in."
Everyone entered the temple, the female relatives went to offer incense, and a few male guests sat and chatted in the side hall.
"Haha, Mr. Cui, don't be upset." Chai Shaochang smiled and said: "I heard Pingyang mention the daughter, last year's old things, to be generous, this year's "Ai Lian Shuo" is exactly the work of Tianhe."
Cui Xin's face changed slightly. Regarding Li Shan's killing of Cui Bo, his daughter was aggrieved for Li Shan... But after all, it was harmful to the interests of the Cui family, and it was not easy to spread this kind of thing.
"If I hadn't been on duty, I would have arrived in Pingyang today." Chai Shao said with emotion: "We have agreed today that I will deliver the marriage certificate to the Li family tomorrow."
Cui Xin glanced at Keshi Li and Ling Jing from the corner of his eye and found nothing unusual, but he was a little hesitant... Changsun was the matchmaker. Logically speaking, it was Changsun or Keshi Li who should deliver the marriage certificate, but Chai Shao took the initiative. Come out and deliver the marriage certificate.
Although Cui Xin had not interacted with him much, he had also heard that Chai Shao, although he had many military exploits, was cautious and law-abiding. He won a great victory in the Western Expedition and was not arrogant. Since Princess Pingyang took charge of the Beiya Forbidden Army, in addition to obeying the holy order Outside of being in charge of Ma Yin, there is little social interaction... It must be Princess Pingyang's decision to take the risk today.
Li Shan's father's ancestors must be blank in the marriage certificate...Chai Shao should have learned about it from Princess Pingyang, but did Li Keshi and Ling Jing really not know?
Cui Xin has a headache. Li Shan's relationship network is too complicated... Both Tiance Mansion and Dong Palace have friendships, but at least the two people who came today are affiliated with Tiance Mansion, but they have personal friendship with Li Shan.
There are many reasons why Li Shan was finally chosen, but Li Shan was not involved in the matter of seizing the legitimate son, which was also a reason that influenced Cui Xin's choice.
A few people chatted, and Ling Jing said casually: "By the way, Dingfang is twenty-five years old this year. Due to the continuous war, he has not yet gotten married..."
"I have asked him a long time ago." Chai Shao nodded and said: "Last year, Shandong repeatedly defeated Liu Heita, and he also made great victories in the Western Expedition, and killed the King of Tianzhu..."
After hesitating for a moment, Chai Shaocai continued: "It's just that Dingfang mentioned Huairen..."
Everyone here knew that Su Dingfang and Li Shan had the same political stance, and if nothing else happened, they would be inseparable for the rest of their lives, so the former needed to see which family Li Shan would marry first.
"Just in time to ask." Ling Jing smiled and said, "We will go north before we set the direction."
Li Keshi saw that Cui Xin was confused and explained: "Huairen takes charge of the governor's office on behalf of governor Shi, and his majesty ordered Su Dingfang to go north to protect Yanmen."
Cui Xin was actually not very sensitive at the political level, so he realized at this time... His Majesty's restoration of the acting governor would require a lot of soldiers, and Li Shan's power status would be greatly improved.
Master Li was about to talk about business when there were footsteps outside, and a middle-aged man came quickly.
"Uncle, this is Zhu Wei, the elder of the Zhu clan. Brother Huairen calls him his seventh uncle." Zhang Wenguan introduced.
The Zhu family settled in Sun Moon Lake, which was formerly known as Zhujiagou, and more than half of Li Shan's bodyguards were from the Zhu family. Li Shan also called this seventh uncle... Cui Xin returned the gift, thinking, this is impossible It's a coincidence.
Zhu Wei took out a letter from his sleeve and said with a smile: "A letter from Dalang."
