The only so-called love between a man and a woman that Xia Zhaoyi has ever come into contact with was not from herself, but from Tao Lan and her second brother.
Except for the fact that Tao Lan frequently looked for her after she was ambushed in Buqujiang, before that, Xia Zhaoyi and Tao Lan only met three times.
She and Tao Lan didn't know each other, and they couldn't even exchange a few words. Her impression of Tao Lan was that he was extremely warm to her.
Later, the Xia and Tao families got engaged, and Xia Zhaoxue couldn't stand the marriage arrangement that her family had made, so they had a quarrel for a long time and wrote dozens of letters asking her to come back to Beijing to help persuade.
Xia Zhaoyi thought it was just a trivial matter at first, but later she realized that her second brother was really unhappy about this and was disgusted with it, so she rode back.
After traveling for several days, she returned to the capital. As luck would have it, she happened upon Tao Lan and his servants "acting chivalrously and righteously."
Although the vendor was unkind, Xia Zhaoyi did not like to take advantage of his power and the number of people to abuse and bully others without restraint.
Tao Lan looked up and saw her. She didn't want to stay any longer, so she turned around and left.
After returning home, the second brother lay on the bed and cried loudly. He told her a lot of ideals, beliefs and life aspirations, saying that he really didn't want a stranger in his life and wanted to be forcibly intimate with her.
The thought of waking up from a dream in the middle of the night and turning around to find a woman with no spiritual resonance lying next to him not only disturbed his free space of being alone, but also made him feel like a zombie.
Moreover, he didn't want to delay this girl's good marriage. Instead of finding a husband like him who was unhappy with everything about her and always had a bad look on her face, it would be better to find another lover.
Xia Zhaoxue cried for a long time without a single tear, but what he said was sincere and heartfelt, and he finally moved Xia Wenshan, who had been called by Xia Zhaoyi in advance to eavesdrop outside the door.
Afraid that Xia Wenshan would regret it after sleeping, Xia Zhaoxue struck while the iron was hot and tried his best to encourage Xia Wenshan to cancel the marriage immediately.
Later, Tao Lan came to Xia's house several times to look for someone.
Half of the capital city knew how much Tao Lan admired Xia Zhaoxue. It came from the mouth of Tao Lan's so-called close friend in the early years. Later, there were dozens of versions in the market. Some said that the man was talented and good-looking, and that he was of the right family. Others said that the woman Fang Tian was shameless and unreserved.
.
Now that something like this suddenly happened, there are more rumors, and they are spreading more and more fiercely.
A few months later, Xia Zhaoyi learned in Liling that Tao Lan got into an argument with some gossipy daughters at the Qiuyue Poetry Party, and beat them to the point of bleeding and disfigured their appearance. She was raped by her father.
Tao Daijiang rushed to a farm in Tangzhou for confinement.
Then, Xia Zhaoyi heard the name Tao Lan again, and Tao Lan was already in the north.
It has been ten years now, and Tao Lan has become Beiyuan's Lady Jade. I heard that she gave birth to a son last year, and her husband is Yi Shurong's number one adviser, He Yanpo.
The most active confidant in Tao Lan's rumors was Pan Yuehua, the eldest granddaughter of the late Pan Shangshu and the eldest daughter of Pan Naifeng's second brother Pan Daotang. She had died in the genocide that destroyed the Pan family.
Inside.
Regardless of whether there is Tao Lan, Beiyuan will send troops in large numbers, but without Tao Lan, the northern border defenses will not be broken so quickly, and the Pan family and Xia family in Kyoto will not be distorted by Li Ju's overwhelming hatred.
He got angry and was destroyed.
Everything started because of the love between man and woman.
Xia Zhaoyi raised her eyes and looked at the moonlight. After tomorrow's military conscription, the wandering life she and her master had promised would come to an end. After four years and three full years, she finally came to Lining, but she didn't know that she
Will the person you are waiting for appear?
I miss Li Ling’s mountains and rivers very much.
·
Early the next morning, Xia Zhaoyi left early as usual.
Zhili, who had been lazy for several days, heard the commotion and came out to ask her to wait. He went back to the house, quickly packed up, and left with Xia Zhaoyi.
The senior sister and brother, dressed in short-game attire and with sandbags wrapped around their legs, ran along the stream to Taolin Mountain.
There is a water conservancy project in Bajiang Lake at the foot of Taolin Mountain that was completed less than five years ago. It was originally proposed by Yu Shiling's confidant Zhang Xianbao to Emperor Xuanyan Li Ji and invested a lot of manpower and energy. When it was about to be completed, Song Zhiyi raised a flag of rebellion. This piece of water conservancy, which cost a lot of money, was given to Song Zhiyi.
Later, before Li Jushang could get angry over this incident, Zhang Xianbao left his house and jumped into the lake late at night.
Nowadays, this water conservancy has really helped Song Zhiyi a lot. Not only can it alleviate the annual floods, it can also be diverted for irrigation, and thousands of acres of fertile farmland in Anjiang have been poured out, ensuring absolute logistical strength.
Therefore, Song Zhiyi's conscription control here was not as strict as other places because a large number of laborers were needed to farm here.
When they reached Taolin Mountain, Xia Zhaoyi and Zhili rested near a pavilion.
If you lower your head here, you can have an unobstructed view of the eight rivers and lakes.
A breeze came, and the fragrance of flowers filled the ground. Xia Zhaoyi withdrew her gaze and turned to look at an unnamed tomb a hundred steps southwest of the pavilion. The reason why she came to Ning and stayed by the Bajiang Lake was precisely because of this unmarked tomb. .
Except for violent storms, she would come here almost every day, and the deserted grave remained the same every day, with no one visiting it.
But Master said that that person will come here every year before Qingming unless he dies.
Zhili raised his hand to cover his eyebrows, looked at the rural road in the distance, and said, "Lining is so beautiful in spring!"
"Um."
"Hey, Song Zhiyi has taken advantage of the right time, place, and people. In the future, Song Zhiyi may take over this great land."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled.
"But Song Zhiyi will deal with the Guo family," Zhili turned back to look at Xia Zhaoyi, "When he raised the army, he invited Guo Shu several times, but Zuilu ignored him. I heard that there was a deep grudge. If he was really targeted by Song Zhiyi , the Guo family will definitely have a very sad life, and Shen Lie will also be affected."
"Could Song Zhiyi be so small-minded?" Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile.
"Who knows, I guess so. I have invited someone several times, but they have been rejected. I don't know where to put my face."
"Song Zhiyi is trying to conquer the country. He is not born with a country, or competes with his brothers for the country. Generally, people who rely on their own hands to conquer the country have extraordinary thickness of skin."
"That's on the surface, but in my heart I don't know how to hold a grudge." Zhili said.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled but said nothing.
Walking down the mountain to the other side, they encountered several men who had deserted the military service and hid in the mountain. Xia Zhaoyi and Zhili deliberately stayed away from them, pretending not to see them, and preventing them from being worried.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zhili discussed the route back to Liling. A fishing boat stopped at the lake in front, and a tall man came ashore carrying a big sword on his back.
The big sword was too conspicuous, so Zheli raised his head to look at it a few times.
The man also noticed the people here. He turned around and saw two young men with handsome features. He looked away and turned to leave.
But after taking a few steps, he thought for a moment, turned back, and stood there watching Zhili and Xia Zhaoyi pass by.
