In the summer of that year, Chen Chong led his troops back to Chang'an. In June, he officially married Princess Wannian. Because it was a marriage between the Tian family, the wedding was extremely grand. The Sili Mansion built another dome hut on the outskirts of Chang'an, and then the wedding was grand. Inviting guests and friends. During this period, a group of horsemen gathered, each mounted a horse, took up his bow, and shot arrows in six directions.
From senior citizens such as Shen Tupan, Huang Wan, and Han Rong to students such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Yu Fan, people from both civil and military circles, high and low, came to congratulate them. Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Song Jian had just surrendered. etc., also sent generous gifts. Among them, Ma Teng's gift was the most precious: three sweat-blooded horses from the Western Regions, and an auspicious fur coat that was said to be invulnerable to water and fire. The gifts were extremely precious and very much in line with the wishes of the newlyweds.
Chen Chong's original intention was to be simple, and it was a remarriage, so it shouldn't have been so grand. But Liu Bei was extremely opposed to it. After all, in the face of great changes, one thing could inspire people with this incident, and two, it could also tell the world. The two of them and the world There was no ill feeling between the two families. This was a powerful counterattack from Kanto to the previous talk of discord with the Taiwanese government. Naturally, all the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government knew it well, so on the day of the wedding, all the officials of the emperor came to congratulate, but the scene was not like that. It's a marriage, but a meeting in court.
The luxury of the wedding was naturally beyond compare when he married Mr. Cai in his hometown in Yingchuan. But after the drunken party that night, Chen Chong returned to the wedding room and looked at the princess sitting on the couch, but didn't know what to say. In fact, the same was true for the princess. After Chen Chong entered the room, she lowered her head and lowered her eyes, not meeting Chen Chong's eyes.
The silence lasted too long, and in the end, the young princess actually burst into tears on her wedding night. When he looked up, Chen Chong saw her face bursting with tears, and kept wiping the red corners of her eyes with her hands. She said: " I thought you would never marry me again."
Although the princess is the eldest sister of the emperor, she is actually only four years older than the emperor. Speaking of it, she is still two years younger than Dong Bai. When Chen Chong looked at her expression under the candlelight, he unexpectedly discovered that she was extremely thin, even if she was weak. Liu Fufeng is not comparable. The last time he saw the princess, it seemed that this was not the case? Chen Chong soon realized that the life of the Tian family depended on her alone, and anyone would be haggard for this!
Thinking of this, Chen Chong couldn't help but feel desolate. He didn't have any affection for the princess, but he couldn't talk about it. He just whispered: "It's late at night, go to bed early."
The princess felt more and more painful. She looked at Chen Chong blankly, tears still flowing. She did not answer Chen Chong's words, but shook her head and said to herself: "I also know that you don't want to marry me."
Chen Chong couldn't see his tears. He went up and sat next to the princess, and was about to wipe her tears. The princess suddenly grabbed his chest, leaned on her shoulder and choked, "But it's not my idea. Don't hate me. Don't hate me." ..."
This night was made up of tears. Chen Chong almost didn't know what to say, while the princess cried about his admiration for Chen Chong in the past, and he could only pat the princess on the shoulder and repent in his heart. But he remembered Cai Yan before his death. Looking into his eyes and thinking of Zang Hong's words, he couldn't help but think in his heart that Ziyuan's words actually made no sense. He might have saved the Tian family, but he had ruined a person's life.
It wasn't until the sky became slightly clear that the princess fell into a deep sleep. After he covered the princess with a cold quilt, he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he didn't lie down. Instead, he stood up and looked at the candle beside the eucalyptus and thought. When his eyes looked at
When he saw the jug and gourd on the eucalyptus, he suddenly remembered that the couple had not even completed the old gift of working together. Chen Chong turned back to look at the princess and found that she was already frowning in her sleep, looking quite sad.
I have something on my mind.
What kind of fruits will such a marriage bear in the future? Chen Chong tried to think about the future. He knew everything about how to manage the administration, but what would the family be like in the future? He couldn't imagine it for a long time, but as for the ending, he knew everything about it.
We are also prepared.
After getting married, the princess also moved into the Sili Mansion. After all, she was born in Huangguiwei, and she was well-dressed and well-fed. She was not as good at housework as Cai Yan, so Chen Chong had to hire a few more maids to help at home. The princess was also very ashamed.
, so I learned to take care of Chen Chong’s study and arrange the books, but in the end I was still in a hurry and often made mistakes, so I gradually stopped doing it.
The princess is actually very kind and has a good relationship with the palace people. She never lacks friends to talk to. However, after marrying Chen Chong, due to her sensitive status, the officials and women who came and went did not dare to disturb her, and the concubines and queens in the palace did not dare to come.
During the visit, except for Chen Zhang, Chen Chong and Chen Qun, she had almost no one to talk to, which made her doubly
I felt lonely. But occasionally the emperor sent someone to the house to say hello, and the princess said everything was fine.
One night in July, Chen Chong went to Cai Yong's house to marry Dong Bai. The wedding was very simple, and very few people were notified. Only Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhong Yao, Xun You and other friends attended. A few people
A few tables were moved in front of the study, and they gathered around to drink. Afterwards, they couldn't help but talk about the past and comment on various administrative mistakes in the late emperor's court. Cai Yong, the father-in-law, was completely old, and Cai Yan's death was a great blow to him.
He was originally black and white, but now his green hair is all white, and his health is also bad. He could barely hold on even hosting the wedding. After the ceremony, he lay on the couch beside him to rest. But when he heard his juniors talking about the stories of the previous dynasty, he came too.
He was energetic, tapping the mat from time to time and interjecting. Everyone was excited for a while, and it was late at night without realizing it.
It was almost three o'clock when Chen Chong saw Dong Bai. When Dong Bai saw him coming in, he hugged him. Chen Chong smelled the begonia-like fragrance of flowers on her body and felt very peaceful in his heart. Dong Bai asked: "What's the matter?
"How long?" Chen Chong said with a smile: "Men always do this when talking about political affairs."
Unexpectedly, an unintentional sentence brought back Dong Bai's memory. She was stunned for a while, then let go of her hand and said: "When Aweng was alive, it was always like this. He often chatted with Uncle Wen and the others very late.
I rarely see him. But when Aweng comes back, he always likes to hug me and says I look like my eldest mother." She suddenly asked Chen Chong, "Ting Jian, what do you think of him?"
Chen Chong hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully: "You are a capable person, but not a good person." Dong Bai sighed: "Yes, you are a capable person, but also a good person."
Chen Chong heard Dong Bai's dissatisfaction. She was actually very concerned about the wedding with the princess, but in the end she chose to agree. This was a huge sacrifice. Chen Chong felt very clear about this and quickly apologized to her in a low voice. But Dong Bai again
He hugged him, crying and laughing for a while, and finally looked at him blankly and said: "You are mine, I am yours, there is nothing to be sorry for." After that, the two of them took the gourd and drank together. After drinking, Dong Bai
Then he said: "If you die, I will die too, and I will never live!"
After the two fell asleep, they didn't wake up until the next day. In the afternoon, Chen Chong and Dong Bai went out of the city for an outing to Kunming Pool. The two of them rode Qingkui along the mountain plateau to Kunming Pool. On the hillside
The dog tongue grass is growing crazily against the sun. At this time, Chen Chong was wearing a white robe and a long hakama tied with thread, while Dong Bai was wearing a white and red jumpsuit, although both of them were wearing
The brown bamboo hat has a gauze hanging down to cover his face, but it has an air of airiness that attracts passers-by's attention.
After getting married, Dong Bai could no longer live in Cai Yong's house. Chen Chong bought a small house for Dong Bai next to Yuanjue Temple in the west of the city. Dong Bai moved some of the flower seeds from Cai Yong's house and planted them in front of the house.
There were several peach trees, plum trees, and four cats. After everything was ready, Dong Bai bought some pieces of silk and satin, made clothes in the house, and knitted women's red. Seeing that his sister was doing well, Dong Yao
We also moved in and lived together.
Since then, Chen Chong rarely stayed overnight in the mansion, and often went to Yuanjue Temple on the third or fourth day. There were many rumors about this in the mansion, but Chen Chong had no intention of taking care of it. The princess knew the reason and did not stop it. Instead, she
This silence and tears seemed extremely lonely.
In the blink of an eye, it was September. News came from Longshang that the Baima Qiang in Wudu, the Shaodang Qiang in Jincheng, and the Lingwu Qiang in Beidi had begun to cause trouble again. The old troops in the three towns did not dare to act rashly and could only send
The envoy came to ask the court's opinion. At this time, Liu Bei had returned to Jinyang to organize his army and recruit troops, so the matter was left to Chen Chong's decision.
The Qiang rebellion in Longshang has been recurring since a hundred years ago. It started with Emperor Xiaoming and was not resolved until Emperor Xiaohuan. It was only slightly relieved after Duan Jiong massacred the Qiang. However, in the last years of the late emperor, the problem worsened, so that
It caused the final chaos in the whole state. Now the problem was once again in the hands of Chen Chong. He did not dare to take it lightly and decided to personally put down this year's chaos and investigate the solution on the spot.
So Chen Chong ordered Huang Fuli to be transferred, and Chen Deng and his two troops went to Long, and Jia Xu accompanied him. All matters in the capital were handed over to Zhong Yao and Xun You. He ordered that small matters can be decided by oneself, and major matters can be written
Letter to the army, wait for his reply before taking action.
The day of the trip was set for September Guiwei (20th). It was already late autumn. The autumn wind was blowing, everything was desolate, and the mountains in Guanzhong also showed green and yellow colors. Chen Chong took his disciples and bodyguards out of the mansion and planned to go to Wei.
Bei Shishi was traveling. When he reached the north of the city, he unexpectedly saw Dong.
Bai Zema came up. The accompanying entourage wisely moved out of the way, allowing the two to ride side by side until they reached the bluestone of the Wei Bridge. The two horses were entwined and grinding together, as if they could not bear to leave each other just like their owners.
Chen Chong comforted Dong Bai and said to her: "Now that the three towns in Longshang have surrendered, they are all strong soldiers. With their help, the Qiang people in the valley are just cattle and sheep. After they are dispersed, I will clean up the mess, almost
It’s time to come back. Calculating the time, the winter snow has probably not fallen yet.”
Dong Bai said: "I hope it is as you said. Please don't forget what I said on the wedding night. 'If you die, I will never live alone!'"
After that, she took off the jade hairpin on her head and handed it to Chen Chong, who then took off the green sword from his waist and exchanged it. The two of them parted ways. At this time, a light rain fell from the sky, and the wind made it look like mist. Dong Bai immediately rode up the slope and watched him off.
Chen Chong and his party walked off the bridge and gradually turned into black shadows in the wilderness.
