Chapter 325: Zhao Kingdom Mission
Generally speaking, when the children of princes and generals are married, they have to appoint professionals a long time in advance. Of course, the royal family is naturally the Si Tianjian.
Let them, professionals who read Feng Shui, combine the birthdays of two people together, and then deduce the best auspicious day for the zodiac according to a set of algorithms that normal people can't understand.
Then fix the wedding date and choose a date to get married.
How can it be like King Xian?
Auspicious day?
No auspicious day can delay my collection of money from Zhou Guo and Zhao Guo!
Alas, Emperor Chu felt ashamed!
For that little money, shall we do it?
Although it is said that Chu State is poor now, it has not yet reached the point where he is short of several thousand taels of silver!
However, according to King Xian, as long as Zhou Guo and Zhao Guo can be disgusted before the war, then the mission of the wedding banquet will be considered complete.
It is more auspicious than any auspicious day to receive money from Zhou Guo and Zhao Guo.
...
When Xu Qing and his group returned to the capital, Xiao Ruxue drove the bandits tied up by him to Jingzhao Mansion to convict them.
Zheng Wan'er blamed herself a little, because she told Xiao Ye about her visit to Taolin this time, and her mother told her about the peach forest here.
But Xiao Ye waved his hand, comforting Zheng Wan'er that she doesn't need to blame herself at all, originally, she spent a total of ten taels of silver in preparing for this trip, but now she earned another twenty taels because of robbing a few robbers.
Has this ever happened?
Do not! This is work!
Xu Qing and Su Qian returned home...
three days later
[Infinite space for reverie, right? 】
near dusk
On the official road, a group of carriages slowly approached the capital of Chu State.
This is the Zhao Guo Mission.
The long convoy, dozens of carriages, and fluttering flags fluttered in the wind.
At the front of the convoy, the person riding the horse turned out to be a woman!
This woman has a pair of peach blossom eyes, wearing a corseted dress, which perfectly outlines her shapely figure, and her slender waist seems to be unbearable.
Although she looks soft and beautiful, she has a heroic spirit, riding on a horse like a female general commanding thousands of horses, majestic and heroic.
A moon-white corset dress set it off perfectly.
Just when the horses were driving to a certain place, the person leading the horse in front of the mission turned around and looked at the woman on the horse, and said, "My lord deputy, the convenience ahead is the capital of the state of Chu, and horses are strictly forbidden in the capital of the state of Chu. Here, you should dismount."
The woman nodded, and got off the horse, her movements were very capable.
The woman was holding the horse with one hand, while looking at the capital of the country with the strongest Martial Dao in the Central Plains.
Although the capital of Chu State is not as prosperous as their capital city of Zhao State, it reveals a kind of majesty, especially the defense equipment on the city wall and the magnificent moat in front of it, all of which show that the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. .
Envoy Zhao Guozheng also got down from the carriage. Compared with the young woman who was the deputy envoy, the envoy was a middle-aged man who looked stable. He was a little fat, and his slight bulge could not be concealed even by the loose official uniform. There is a feeling of a big belly in my stomach.
Zhou Guo's Deputy Envoy dared to be so rude, Zhao Guo was not good at it. Although Chu State had a lot of disasters last year and its national power was greatly reduced, it may have lost to Zhou State, but it is more than enough to beat Zhao State.
Because there have been foreigners on the border of Zhao State frequently invading the border recently, which restrained most of Zhao's military power. Fortunately, the Zhenxi Army led by General Long guarded the southwestern border of Zhao State to resist foreign invasion.
Nowadays, how can there be enough military power to pose any threat to Chu State?
However, although there is not enough military power to pose any threat to Chu State, it is not bad to see the excitement when Chu State is poor.
When Zhao Guo's mission entered the city, they saw lanterns and festoons everywhere in the capital of Chu State, looking happy and lively.
This made Zhao Guo's envoys feel quite flattered, which was not the case when they were sent to Zhao Guo in previous years!
In previous years, not to mention the festoons, if you can hang one more red lantern, it is considered worthy of you. How can there be such a scene?
Could it be that the state of Chu has reached the point where it needs to curry favor with the state of Zhao?
Can't!
According to the news that came back, when the Zhou Guo Mission came, they didn't have this kind of treatment!
Not only did they not, on the contrary, Chu State firmly gave them a big blow, so how could they show off to Zhao State?
Just as they were thinking wildly, the officials who were waiting came to the Zhao Guo Mission under the protection of a group of shadow guards.
The welcoming official looked at the potbellied Zhao Guozheng envoy who was standing in front and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that the envoy and your country's embassy came just in time for the grand wedding ceremony of our Prince Chu's eldest son."
Zhao Guozheng looked at the waiting officials, and asked with cupped hands: "My son? Is it the son of the virtuous king of your country?"
The welcoming officials also responded with cupped hands, saying: "Exactly, exactly, the day when your mission came to Dachu happened to coincide with the wedding banquet of my Dachu Xianwang's son. It's really ingenious, double happiness !"
Well, they really got it wrong, it turned out that it was just in time for the grand marriage of the eldest son of the Great Chu God of War.
Zhao Guozheng said with a smile: "Then I want to congratulate Your Royal Highness."
The welcoming officials also smiled and said: "Congratulations! Originally, His Majesty was going to hold a dust-cleaning banquet at Honglu Temple to welcome your country's mission, but the timing of your country's arrival was extremely ingenious, just in time for His Royal Highness. For the big wedding banquet, what His Majesty means is to move this cleansing banquet to His Highness’s wedding banquet, let’s have a happy one, what do you think?"
Zhao Guozheng said with a smile: "Of course, respect is worse than obedience."
This attitude is much better than Chu State's attitude towards Zhou State.
When the envoys of the State of Zhou came, what did they welcome?
It's a warning!
And what about Zhao Guoyi?
That's happiness on top of happiness!
If you treat it like this, you will be judged!
Invisibly, Zhao Guo was praised high, and this just right one made Zhao Guo's envoys very comfortable!
The welcoming officer stretched out his hand and said: "This is very good, please come with me, there is still more than an hour before the wedding banquet of His Highness, we will first stay at Honglu Temple, the mission is exhausted all the way, why not take a rest in Honglu Temple , and then go to His Highness's wedding banquet, what do you think?"
Zhao Guozheng said with a smile: "This lord is right, please lead the way."
The welcoming officer nodded and said with a smile, "Please follow me."

Andingbo Mansion
Xiao Ruxue obediently sat in front of the bronze mirror, swaying her calf lightly, and the little white boots she was wearing also swayed.
Xiao Ruxue wanted to turn her head to look at Xu Qing behind her, but Xu Qing straightened her head with two big hands: "Don't move around, be careful that I will comb your hair down."
Xiao Ruxue didn't dare to move when she heard this, her hair fell out, and her head became bald! She doesn't want to be bald!
Xu Qing combed Xiao Ruxue's hair with a comb, and finally tied it into a flying fairy bun.
Xiao Ruxue looked at such a novel but beautiful bun, with a satisfied smile on her face: "This bun looks so good! I like this bun!"
Xu Qing put down the comb in his hand and rubbed his sore wrist.
The little girl still clamored that she wanted it too because she saw that she had done a nice bun for the lady just now.
Oh, what a difficult little girl...
