Pu Zhenmeilu has been living in Lishi for a long time since the end of the war last year. Liu Xuan and Chen Chong supported his daily expenses. His life was simple but happy. However, such days did not last long. Since he was at the foot of Gaoming Mountain, After she met Liu Bei by chance, she often began to be in a daze.
In fact, she herself knew why she was in a daze.
During the few months when Chen Chong was still busy in Lishi, when she saw the first glimmer of the morning sun, she would quickly get up and lead her horse out to ask the county gatekeeper if that person had been here today. If he came, she would ask the man where he was going today, then get on the bay-red horse and whip him all the way to where the man was.
Once Pu Zhenmeilu was overjoyed when he saw that person in the street, his little daughter's mentality made her dare not get too close. She looked aside and watched the man busy in the crowd. She was covered with black gauze in the street, but it could not hide her graceful figure under the sun. The man's followers looked back and saw her, and they all laughed and said in private: "You Yan" On the knight's saddle was a Shan Yu's green bird.
When the man was about to finish his work, she rode back to Chen Chong's house and took out a bamboo slipper. The bamboo slipper was smeared with gold powder to make delphinium flowers, and the sound of the bamboo slipper was like a mountain stream flowing out of the flower. In the melody, two warblers landed in the forest and took a rest. The two birds sang in harmony until the sun rose, and the warblers flapped their wings and flew away with the wind.
After the song ended, even Princess Shanyu doubted whether she was bold. Will that person look down on himself? Pu Zhenmeilu thought so, with a pretty face, and couldn't help but ask the doorkeeper, had that person stopped in front of the door? The clerk also got to know her well and said with a smile: After the sound of the banter subsided, Liu Shijun left with a sense of loss!
These words made her smile like the waves of a spring lake, sparkling endlessly, so that occasionally when she was concentrating on sword dancing, a smile would suddenly appear on the corner of her mouth, leaving her dazed after laughing.
But then something unexpected happened. Chen Chong resigned from his post a year ago and left, and soon that person stopped coming. Chen Chong had told him before leaving that Yang Hui would not be embarrassed if he took second place, and would still treat each other as before, but Pu Zhenmeilu was still restless. She inquired and heard that the man had received an order from the court to lead troops to Youzhou to quell the rebellion, and she couldn't help but worry about him.
How far is it from Youzhou to Meiji? With this thought in mind, she played with the green stones in front of the light, blew out the fireworks, and watched the stones on her fingertips rippling like green water, then fell asleep at the table in a daze. She suddenly remembered that her father had told her that after riding north from Meiji and climbing over one hundred and thirty green hills, she would meet a goddess holding a flute and drum.
Will you meet that person too? She had been troubled by this problem for a long time. When Liu Xuan came to see her in the third year of junior high school, Pu Zhenmeilu suddenly realized that it was already the end of the new year. There were so many firecrackers crackling in the night, but she didn't hear them. There were smoke from cooking in the streets and alleys, but she turned a blind eye. In the past, she was content to wander alone in the mountains and rivers, but now she feels lonely.
Liu Xuan stayed in the county for three days and told her many of his dissatisfactions in the royal court: his eldest brother was wary of him, his teacher Chen Chong was very disappointed with him, his second brother Hu Chuquan was also killed for his eldest brother, and he himself looked down on him. I have been unable to sleep for several days... Pu Zhenmeilu was speechless, so she accompanied Liu Xuan to coax him to sleep.
When Liu Xuan left the house again, the girl found that she could not sleep either. True love in the world is so rare, and even family relationships are full of intrigues. Does that person really like her? She touched the smooth edges and corners of the blood coral and suddenly realized that she was alone.
When the moon rises, she wants that person to see her brilliance. The evening breeze blew slowly, and she thought the man could smell her breath. When she was riding the horse alone, she felt that she would be better in that person's arms. Picking up flowers on the roadside, she peeled off the petals and divined her future, which made her blush for a moment. Fortunately, it no longer snowed in Xihe, otherwise she could see thousands of him in the snow flakes.
But then Pu Zhenmeilu received news that the man was defeated in Youzhou and his life or death was unknown. In those few days, she seemed to have lost her soul, and her mind was flying outside the one hundred and thirty green hills. The cold quilt she was sleeping in was soaked with tears, and the green stone was repeatedly rubbed by the girl's jade palm, and swaying green light appeared in the cold night. .
When she learned that the man had survived the war, she finally felt alive again. But when she heard that the man was seriously ill and difficult to recover, her heart tightened again. Without consulting anyone, she packed her bags alone, mounted her beloved bay-red horse, and headed north alone.
Walking along the long winding path, there were light green hills, one after another, until the Fenshui River opened a new path from the Luliang Mountains, and she turned to follow the Fenshui River eastward along the southeastern mountains. Chen Chong sent Shi Tao to lead people to set fire along the river in the north of the county.
The bay-red horse was frightened by the fire and did not dare to move forward. Fortunately, Shi Tao had sharp eyesight and recognized her identity. He arranged for someone to help her swim to avoid the fire, and then brought her back to Jinyang. Chen Chong was also shocked when he saw this. He wrote to Liu Xuan to inform him of the situation and placed the Hun girl in place.
As a result, the room he was placed in did not last for a few days. When Liu Bei finally returned to Jinyang, Pu Zhenmei broke into his bedroom with his face covered with gauze and a cup of medicine in his hand. Liu Bei looked at the girl's shy yet serious face with a puzzled look on his face, and then he saw Chen Chong winking at him from behind the door. He couldn't laugh or cry. He felt embarrassed and moved as he watched the girl take the medicine, and felt his slightly cold pulse.
"I belong to you now, what do you want me to do?" Just when Liu Bei thought she was leaving, the Hun girl turned around and looked at him gently with eyes like moonlight, and said this in a tone as cold as a sword's edge. asked him. Liu Bei couldn't resist for a moment, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally uttered the word "good".
The wedding was officiated by Liu Bei's mentor Lu Zhi and his uncle Liu Yuanqi. Liu Bei's parents died young, and they were the only two elders who had the closest relationship with him. The wedding was a major event in his life. Although Chen Chong didn't like red tape, he sent someone to invite the two of them at night. As a minister, it was not convenient for Lu Zhi to take leave, but fortunately Jian Shuo allowed him to go all the way, and he completed the round trip in half a month.
When Lu Zhi came to Jinyang City, he first scolded Liu Bei in front of him about Sang Qian. Even though Liu Bei had just recovered from his serious illness, he could only kneel in front of his master.
After Lu Zhi finished scolding, the teacher said again: "You are so happy. I shouldn't have said this, but your parents died young, and if I didn't tell you many things, there would be no one to teach you. Now you are twenty-eight." , it’s too late to get married, but you must remember that only when your family is harmonious can everything be safe. You always think carefully about everything you do. Now that you have a family, you have to be more prudent. Don’t bully someone just because your wife is a Hun woman. she."
Of course Liu Bei couldn't bully her. Liu Xuan still didn't reply these days. Chen Chong took care of everything and asked Pu Zhenmeilu to live in Gangyang City. The girl's parents had also died together and they were unwilling to tell Yu Fuluo. Chen Chong claimed to be Pu Zhenmeilu's brother and arranged all the necessary matters for her wedding.
On March 26, in the spring of the sixth year of Zhongping, Liu Xuande, a native of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Youzhou, and Luan Tipu Zhenmeilu, a native of Meiji, Xihe County, Bingzhou, officially got married.
On the wedding day, the man prepares a yellow cow cart with a roof covered by a red cloth curtain. The ox cart was led by Wei Yan, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Deran and other relatives and friends of his generation rode on horseback and waited five miles out of Jinyang City. When it was almost noon, the bride, accompanied by Chen Chong, also came on horseback. Behind her were hundreds of children and young men and women, laughing and singing:
"Whose girl can walk with her skirt exposed behind her back? Men and women are born in the same place. I wish I could have two married women."
Liu Bei was also surrounded by thousands of people. They laughed and sang in uneven tones:
"Yellow mulberry sandals are tied with silk at both ends. When I was young, I cared for my mother and my son-in-law. Why not get married early to consider the family's financial situation."
Pu Zhenmeilu was still riding the same bay-red horse as when they first met. She sat on a saddle newly decorated with lotus flowers. The horse had steady hooves and came slowly. When she was half a mile away, she took out a gauze fan as Chen Chong said and covered her face with one hand. At this time, Wei Yan ran over and led the horse to the car. The bride got off the horse and continued to cover her face with a fan while waiting for the carriage with the help of others.
Liu Bei looked at her on horseback. He didn't see her usual beauty, but he felt that she was smaller. Her head was like a Yunyao bun, her top was tight and she wore a crimson embroidered skirt. The long skirt reaches to the ankles, and the pleats of riding trousers can be vaguely seen. Chen Chong asked the bride to ride on the saddle, which means "peace".
After the bride was brought in in an ox cart, the two went to meet their elders. At the wedding, Lu Zhi gave Pu Zhenmei the famous Chinese name Liu Jia, with the word Li Rong. After serving wine to their mentor and uncle, the two went into the room to perform the ceremony of joining together. The so-called Gong Lao He Ning means taking a lao plate to hold food, the couple eats together, and then gets a gourd. The man cuts the gourd into two, the woman fills the gourd with wine, and the two drink from the cup. , eating and drinking together in this way means that from now on, the couple will share joys and sorrows, and the marriage ceremony is over.
Liu Bei looked at his wife's peony-red lips and was about to say something. Unexpectedly, his wife raised her lips and smiled and said, "You Han people are so polite." "Aren't you happy?" "I'm happy, Liu Lang will be with me." Will you accompany me forever?" How could Liu Bei say this? He could only continue to say: "Yes! Yes!"
Liu Lilong leaned in his arms, pinched the corners of Liu Xuande's bewildered and sweet mouth, frowned and thought for a while, and then said to him: "We Huns have a love song, which was handed down from the ancient times. I will sing it with you." .”
After saying that, she stood up from her arms, rolled up her long sleeves, held each other's hands, and began to sing. It was a love song in pure Hun language. In his wife's gentle singing voice, he heard the sky, the thick earth, and the endless distance. Here, he and his lover held the goshawk hand in hand and crossed the infinite grassland. After singing the song, Liu Lilong returned to his arms and explained the meaning of the song in Chinese:
“In the endless wilderness, there is a northern mountain holding up the vast sky.
And what can stand shoulder to shoulder with the North Mountain is a rugged Nanshan Mountain standing alone.
On that vast grassland, there was a knight embarking on a long road.
The one who can embrace that knight is a daughter whose heart is like a rabbit. "
Liu Bei hugged her tightly.
