Sweet Beauty

"Ashu!" Zhao You was stunned, and was about to ask a question, but received a look of relief from his sister, so he had to suppress his anger first, glanced at Feng Ting and stopped looking at him.

Feng Tingben also held a grudge because of his previous unhappiness. At this moment, he knew that he meant to chase away guests, so he did not want to stay for a long time.

As soon as the person left, Zhao You couldn't bear it any longer. He couldn't wait to bring A Shu in. He and his wife Deng Wan asked together, "A Shu, what did you mean? If you get hired money, the marriage will be finalized!"

"Brother, don't be impatient, I just ask you, how is Liu Yu?" After taking a seat, Ashu first served warm soup for each of the brothers and sisters before asking.

Zhao You drank a sip of the warm soup, hesitated for a moment, and saw his sister's calm expression, then he calmed down and thought: "This person is not chaotic and does not show his face in the face of major changes, although some people say that he has no family affection and filial piety, and only cares about himself to survive in the world. But I think that his city is very deep, and he can lie down and try his hardest, keep a low profile, and given time, it must not be in the pool."

Ashu nodded and said, "Ashu and my brother see the same thing. This time, the Queen Mother and the Great Sima still want to send him out of Chang'an. If I expected it to be right, it should be out of Fuhebei. Since Axiong feels that he is not in the pool, It is 80% likely that he will succeed, and it is unknown whether he will stand up to Geng Yun in the future."

She knows that her brother has always been familiar with world affairs, can distinguish right from wrong, weigh the pros and cons, but is only young, and if it involves family members, she will panic because of temporary protection.

"Although this marriage was persecuted by the Queen Mother, if we refuse, no matter whether the Queen Mother, Da Sima, or Liu Yu will be offended. Especially in the future, if Liu Yu can really succeed, the relationship between me and Zhang Hou, But it can't be washed away no matter what."

Zhao You's young and handsome face gradually turned cold.

Yes, it has been five years since Emperor Kang's entry into Chang'an, and Sizhou has gradually stabilized. The next step should be to purge Hebei, which is divided by warlords and has many forces. Throughout the court, except for Liu Yu, no one else can take on this important task.

In this chaotic world, no one knows who will be the next king to worship the prime minister, or even ascend the throne. Like Liu Yu, he is not only the eighth great-grandson of Emperor Wu, but also from the serious Liu Han clan, and he is well-liked by others. The aristocratic family will not easily offend. If there is no such relationship as Zhang Hou, as an elder brother, after personally inspecting Liu Yu's character, he may agree to marry his sister to him.

But right now, this marriage is bound to be criticized, how can he ensure that his sister will be able to live in harmony and live a happy life in the future?

Seeing that he was still hesitant, Ashu said: "Besides, the queen mother is a human being, we have seen it clearly these days. If we don't go with her wishes, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble. But if I get married, my brother will return home. We are far away in Handan, and she can't do anything to me. Why don't you do something like this?"

Brother Fang Cai's desperate appearance for her reminded her of the tragic scene in her dream. She vowed to keep her family safe. The situation at this time can be eased a little as long as she gets married. Compared to the safety of the whole family, this sacrifice is really nothing, what's more, she knows Liu Yu's ability, and it will never be wrong to rely on him.

As for the future, it's not too late to make plans after leaving Zhang Hou's shackles.

"But—" Zhao You frowned, hesitating again and again, seeing his sister's indifference and no dissatisfaction, Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Stop, stop, I even took the money, and I paid three salutes. Agree."

After all, although he was still angry, he went out to find Zhao's side branch near Chang'an to help prepare for the marriage.

…

A few days after the marriage was decided, Ashu moved with his brother and sister-in-law to a house near Chang'an City by his relatives.

Zhao You is busy with marriage and dowry, while Deng Wan accompanies Ah Shu every day to get married.

That night, until Ah Shu fell asleep, Zhao You still did not return. Deng Wan held an oil lamp and knocked on the door of her house: "Just now, your brother sent a letter to come back, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back today. And nightmares, I can take care of them too."

Ah Shu knew that she must have something to say to herself, so she let her in without saying much.

Strange to say, since she made up her mind to get married, she has slept well for several days without any more nightmares.

The two slept together with the lights off, one of them talked for a while, and just as they were about to fall asleep, Deng Wan suddenly held her hand and said softly, "Ashu, if you don't want to marry Liu Yu, you don't have to feel wronged. Own."

She turned her side and said solemnly through the darkness: "If a woman cannot find a man she likes in her life, she will never suffer a single star in the future. Sister-in-law has heard in her life that many sisters of the same clan suffer from marriage because of their marriage. When things don't go well, I wash my face with tears every day, and at a more tricky age, I die of depression..."

"Sister-in-law knows that you are a good child, and I'm afraid it will affect the family. But this is a lifelong matter, so you have to be more cautious. Don't worry, you can only go with your own heart in everything. It's a big deal. We will give more of our family property in the future. Not bad, A-sister-in-law still has a lot of dowry, and it is more than enough to support your elder brother and you."

A Shu was stunned, and stared at Deng Wan's sincere face through the moonlight, and suddenly her eyes became a little hot: "Sister-in-law, why are you treating me so well?"

Although she has not left the cabinet, she also knows that ordinary people, how can aunt and sister-in-law be so harmonious? But when Deng Wan entered Zhao's family, she never had any jealousy with her sister-in-law. Even if she acted recklessly in the first two months, Deng Wan was not angry.

Deng Wan smiled, her curved brows and eyes shone with brilliance: "You are your brother-in-law's most beloved sister, sister-in-law married Ruyi, I am happy for him, love Wu Jiwu, and you will be like my own sister. If you can also marry a good family, you can understand my heart."

Ashu looked at her overflowing happiness, and felt her heart tremble.

It is precisely because of such a sister-in-law that the brother-in-law in the dream can get full support no matter how much sacrifice he makes for her sister.

She has no way of repaying her relatives, but she will do everything to keep her safe. Deng Wan's remarks did not teach her to dispel her thoughts, but became more determined.

"Sister-in-law, I don't feel wronged. It's my own choice to marry Liu Yu."

Deng Wan looked at her for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Well, since you have made up your mind, Sister-in-law won't persuade her too much, but you have to remember in the future that your family will take care of everything for you, and if you have difficulties, just speak up, Don't feel sorry for yourself."

Ah Shu smiled, something flashed in her mind, and she said, "Sister-in-law, I do have something I want to do right now."

"What's the matter?"

She leaned in and whispered.

…

However, Zhao You said that he was running day and night, and he made people travel day and night from Handan to transport many gold, silver, wealth, silk, property deeds, etc., which had been prepared a few years earlier, to Chang'an.

Rao Shi's relatives advised him not to spend a lot of time and trouble. In the future, the dowry will still be returned with Ah Shu, as long as it is given when the time comes.

In Changle Palace, Zhang Hou thought about it, and everyone knew that she was married to a daughter. For his own face, he also made up a lot of makeup according to the rules of the county.

In this way, although Ah Shu still did not get the name of the county lord, but because of the two dowries, it was more eye-catching than the ordinary county lord, and the scenery was the same for a while.

On the other side, Xu is to appease the ministers. Under the instigation of Geng Yun and the Empress Dowager, Emperor Shao ordered Liu Yu to be named King Xiao, and his wedding should be compared to the royal system of princes.

It is the fourth day of the sixth month, when the sun is shining brightly, it is auspicious and suitable for marriage.

Today, Ah Shu got married, and Zhao's house, which was borrowed as her mother's family, had been decorated overnight. At this moment, the door was open, and it was busy inside and out, just waiting to welcome her in person.

Early in the morning, under the arrangement of Deng Wan, the servants washed and dressed up for Ah Shu.

The young girl in the house stood in a pavilion, wearing a dark-colored curly robe, clogs and socks, and her black hair was tied into a high cloud-looking fairy bun, decorated with pearls and jade, and a large jade sash, which complemented her skin as white as snow, and her waist was as white as snow. As thin as a willow, with picturesque eyebrows, graceful and graceful, delicate and gentle.

The servants and women around him all praised: Zhao Ji is so beautiful, no one can take his eyes off of any prince.

Zhao You, who was outside the house, had been restless since early in the morning. He was pacing back and forth in the courtyard. He was restless. A wave.

But as the hour approached, he no longer worried about missing the auspicious time, and only hoped that his sister would come out later, so as to teach him to suffer the pain of parting later.

After a long time, Ah Shu finally came out of the house and said goodbye to her brother and sister-in-law.

Zhao You was also dressed in new clothes, neatly dressed, and sat on the couch. Looking at his younger sister in a wedding dress, he recalled the scene of taking her through the vast and flat land outside the city of Handan when he was young. His heart was full of mixed feelings, sour and astringent, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

The agitation in Ah Shu's heart was no less than that of her elder brother.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other silently, and after an unknown amount of time, someone outside suddenly shouted, "King Xiao's frame is coming."

Zhao You seemed to wake up from a dream, holding the corners of the case with both hands, suppressing his emotions, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go, sister. Don't forget that brother is always here."

Ah Shu couldn't say a word, she only had tears in her eyes. She folded her hands and bowed respectfully. Fang turned back and walked out of the house one step at a time and waited in the courtyard beside the door.

After a while, the sound of the footsteps of horses and carriages came from outside the gate, and the team to welcome them arrived.
