Early the next morning, Guo Mu suddenly came to see Song Xin.
When he saw Song Xin, he said with a guilty look on his face: "Brother Song, it's been a long time since you left my house last time."
Song Xin smiled and said: "Little brother...it's just..."
Guo Mu patted Song Xin on the shoulder and said, "I know, I was joking with you. I came today to say goodbye to you."
Song Xin was startled, "Farewell? Where are you going?"
Guo Mu said with a smile: "I am going to Xihe County in Bingzhou. There are frequent Huns rebellions there, and there is a vacancy for the captain of the field. So I recommended myself to go there to garrison the fields and guard the border."
"Bingzhou Xihe? Isn't it already abandoned?" Song Xin was startled. Since the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Han Dynasty, Xihe County has been abandoned due to the people fleeing and the Huns invading the south.
"No one sent by the imperial court can bear the hardship. This is why there is a vacancy. The prime minister said that if I can do a good job in this position, I will be transferred back in three years."
Song Xin secretly admired that Guo Mu, a playboy from a well-known family, actually took the initiative to apply to go there. "There are Xiongnu who migrated south, and there are also Xianbei and Di people living together, and the mood is complicated. They also often attack and cause chaos. Brother Guo, please be careful."
"Thank you, Brother Song." Guo Mu thanked him, but he seemed hesitant to speak.
"Brother Guo, do you have something to say?"
"Oh, it's all my fault that my father listened to the villain's slander and harmed you..." Guo Mu sighed, obviously still worried about Guo Fengzhong's matter, and it must be for this reason that he took the initiative to apply for border guarding this time.
"Brother Guo, I don't blame you for this. There's no need to say it anymore. Anyone who deceives Uncle Fengzhong will sooner or later be settled with him."
"One more thing..." Guo Mu suddenly said.
"Brother, please tell me."
"Guo Miao, she..."
"What's wrong with her? Is she in danger?" Song Xin's expression suddenly changed when he heard Guo Miao.
Guo Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "She... is getting married..."
At this time, Ajaan came out with tea. When he heard these words, the tea tray in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Song Xin felt like someone was tugging at her heart. She turned pale but could not speak. Ajiang asked, "Whose son is he?"
"It's Zhao Ting, the son of the Zhao family..."
Song Xin was startled, "Is that him? The son of Zhao Yan, the governor of Fufeng?" He was greatly surprised. He saw this person on the way to Xuzhou for treatment with Guo Miao.
"The Prime Minister personally took care of this, which promoted the marriage between the Guo family and the Zhao family. After Guo Miao married, he would go to Fufeng with Zhao Ting. The Prime Minister ordered Dr. Zhong Yuanchang to go to Chang'an to train troops and stock up grain, to guard against Xiliang, and to wait for opportunities to make progress. Hanzhong. Fufeng is a critical place, and the Prime Minister’s move is also to reassure Zhao Yan."
Song Xin nodded. I am afraid that the Dian School Office had already reported the matter between him and Guo Miao to Cao Cao.
"Thank you, Brother Mu, for informing me."
Guo Mu had a look of regret on his face, "Brother Song, I'm going to say goodbye now... I'm leaving for Bingzhou tomorrow. I don't know when we will meet next..."
"Brother Guo, be careful all the way. Please be cautious when you arrive at Xihe County." The two of them walked to the door and held hands tightly.
After Guo Mu left, Song Xin felt a little stuffy in her chest and fell into silence. Ajaan sat in front of him and asked softly: "Brother...if you feel sad, why don't you and I accompany you to take a break outside the city?"

Song Xin felt a warmth in her heart, "Sister, don't worry about me. Maybe it's a good thing for Guo Miao that I'm not with her."
Ajaan knew that he was trying to comfort her and said gently: "Miss Guo is indeed a good girl with love and righteousness. It's a pity that we are not destined to be together."
…
A few days later, several large carts were parked outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. They were filled with Cao Chong's daily necessities, and there were also several slaves to serve him. Zhou Wenzhi, Song Xin and Qian Shou each rode a horse and were waiting in front of the motorcade.
After a while, Cao Cao personally took Cao Chong's hand and walked out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He had a look of reluctance on his face and warned in his mouth.
Song Xin felt in a trance when he saw their appearance. It seemed as if I had seen my old father constantly reminding me to have enough food and clothing when I went to college. But at that time, Song Xin was unable to say thank you because his heart had long been looking forward to a wonderful college life.
When the train started, the old father followed the train step by step, still staring at the window where he was. Finally, when the train went away, the old father waved and turned around, revealing his lonely back, and gradually disappeared from Song Xin's sight. inside.
Thinking of this, my eyes couldn't help but get a little moist.
"Brother Song?" At this time, Zhou Wenzhi suddenly called Song Xin's name in a low voice.
"Hmm? Brother Zhou, what's the matter?"
"Master, get in the car, let's set off."
Only then did Song Xin realize that he was in a trance and was actually in a daze.
"Brother Song, are you okay? I think you look bad?" Zhou Wen asked directly.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou. I'm fine. Let's go now."
The motorcade moved forward slowly. Cao Cao stood outside the palace gate and watched his son's carriage and horses go away. Until they were out of sight, he lowered his head and turned around to walk back to the prime minister's palace. At this time, Cao Pi asked: "Father, Chongdi is just going to Piyong, and he will be back in a few days." When he saw the look in his father's eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable. When he went to Piyong, his father didn't even send him a gift. Pass.
As the motorcade arrived at the city gate, a group of people welcoming the bride attracted the attention of many people. A group of children ran back and forth following the procession, greedily picking up red papers on the ground. Taking these red papers home is said to ensure that their families will be safe in the coming year.
"This is Mrs. Guo's daughter who is getting married. This is the procession." The people watching around him began to discuss.
"Yes, the groom is the Zhao family from Yangzhai, Yingchuan."
"Hey, this is really a match between people and households."
Song Xin felt really unhappy after hearing this conversation. Zhou Wenzhi saw the change in Song Xin's face and secretly sneered in his heart, then walked to Cao Chong's car and said, "Sir, we met Guo's wedding party."
"Hello the convoy and let them go first." Cao Chong said calmly. He glanced at Song Xin and sighed softly.
After a while, the car carrying the bride slowly passed in front of Song Xin. Behind the car, Zhui Ying was also wearing red and colorful clothes as Guo Miao's dowry.
When Zhuiying saw Song Xin with sharp eyes, he immediately became restless and jumped up and down, trying to break away from the horseman's hand. Song Xin looked at its expectant eyes and let out a long whistle. The whistle immediately made Zhuiying quiet down. He kept shaking his head and raising and lowering his front hooves, as if he was unwilling to do so.
"What's wrong with Zhuiying?" Guo Miao heard the whistle in the car and asked softly.
"Miss, don't worry, I'm afraid you might be scared because there are so many people here."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Well, don't let it shock or hurt anyone."
At this time, a gust of wind blew by and lifted her hijab. Everyone exclaimed, "The bride is so beautiful. Is this really the Miss Guo that everyone is afraid of?"
"Isn't it true? It is said that she fell ill and her temperament changed after she recovered."
"Tsk tsk, this young master of the Zhao family is really lucky."
Guo Miao was sitting in the car and saw a young man in the crowd looking at him through the gauze curtains of the window. She felt that this man's face was very strange, but he seemed very familiar at the same time. But I couldn't remember where I had seen him.
Suddenly, Guo Miao felt as if a small needle had pricked her chest, and she couldn't help but hold her hands and let out a soft cry. But when he looked up again, the car had already passed the city gate. The strange thing is that after the boy disappeared, her chest pain also disappeared.
Zhou Wenzhi walked up to Song Xin and said, "Brother Song, what a pity."
Song Xin glanced at him but said nothing. But the look in his eyes made Zhou Wenzhi feel a little chilly. He hurriedly said: "I heard that Brother Song and Miss Guo are in love, but I don't know what Mr. Guo thinks... Sigh. But having said that, Brother Song is such a hero, why worry about finding wives and concubines?"
Song Xin smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhou. I have nothing to do."
When the wedding team left, Cao Chong ordered the troops to continue marching. Along the way, Zhou Wenzhi chatted happily with Qian Shou. As Song Xin walked this road, he remembered every bit of the Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Recital. All this is like a dream. When you wake up from the dream, you find that there is nothing.
Seeing that Song Xin remained silent, Qian Shou asked, "Brother Song, are you worried?"
Before Song Xin could answer, Zhou Wenzhi smiled and said, "Brother Qian, Brother Song usually doesn't talk much."
Song Xin said: "It's nothing, I just remembered some past events. By the way, you two, do you know who is teaching in Piyong?"
Zhou Wenzhi said: "The emperor also comes to give lectures once a year. It is said that those who lecture on Confucian classics and history are famous officials Bing Yuan and Bing Genju, as well as Ying Yang, Ying Delian, Ruan Yu and Ruan Yuanyu. Of course there are others Famous officials, such as Cui Jigui and Mr. Sima Zhongda, are occasionally invited to give lectures because they have official positions in the imperial court."
Qian Shou said: "Yes, I heard about it too. I heard that this year the Prime Minister also arranged for Wei Ziming, the school captain, to teach horse riding and swordsmanship. Many young men who have left Kaiyong when they are old still want to come back and learn swordsmanship from him. .”
Song Xin raised her eyebrows and was secretly happy, "Oh? Brother Wei is here too."
Zhou Wenzhi said: "After you and I enter, there will be no distinction between high and low. We are all of the same age."
Song Xin smiled faintly. He didn't believe this kind of nonsense at all. Comparison is inevitable wherever people go. No system or society can avoid comparison.
Qian Shou also heard the thorn in these words. He had already seen that Song and Zhou were actually at odds with each other. However, this man was smart and didn't say much, and he had no intention of taking sides between the two.
Silent all the way, the convoy walked along the river to a few dozen miles west of Xudu City. In the distance, they saw several hills connected to the mountains in the distance. A large number of houses were hidden in the lush green hills. Around the house, there are several watchtowers and a small barracks. Zhou Wenzhi pointed forward and said, "Sir, that's where Piyong is."
Cao Chong was reading a book in the car. He raised his head and casually ordered: "Brother Zhou, you and Qian Shou ride on horseback to inform them and prepare in advance." After they walked away, Cao Chong called Song Xin to his side again. After whispering a few words to him, the two maidservants got into Cao Chong's car.
