Episode 23: Ashina Yun Ilai Xizhou

Su Nanjin originally wanted to use Dendrobium to weigh the military rations sent by merchants, in order to blackmail the merchants and embarrass Pei Xingjian.However, Pei Xingjian was superior and invited the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple in advance.In the Tang court, Buddhism was full of respect, and the abbot was a direct disciple of Xuanzang. His status was so high that no one dared to doubt it.

In order to support the army, the abbot mobilized pilgrims to donate a lot of food.Pei Xingjian deliberately asked Su Nanjin to compare the dendrobium he brought with the dendrobium brought by the abbot, thereby exposing the fact that Su Nanjin used large dendrobium.Pei Xingjian showed his ignorance at the scene and asked Su Nanjin to punish the soldiers who brought Dendrobium and punish them with fifty military sticks.Su Nanjin had no choice but to break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, her hatred for Pei Xingjian increased.

Pei Xingjian gave Liuli a hairpin, and Liuli carved a jade seal with his own hands and gave it to Pei Xingjian.Today is the first anniversary of their marriage. Pei Xingjian lamented that time passed too fast and expressed his willingness to love each other as much as when they first met.The two agreed to love each other for a lifetime.

Zhang Huaiji's cousin is Zhang Minniang, a noble girl from Xizhou. She likes Qu Chongyu, but Qu Chongyu has not expressed anything for many years.The maid Nana defended Zhang Minniang. She was the most beautiful girl in Xizhou and she had sacrificed a lot to be worthy of Qu Chongyu.However, Qu Chongyu remained indifferent.Zhang Minniang firmly believes that one day she can marry into the Qu family and make Qu Chongyu fall in love with her.At the same time, she was also obsessed and decided to continue waiting.

When Qu Chongyu was making the string car, Zhang Minniang came over to take a look. She really couldn't figure out why the strings were made of beef tendon, and she thought it couldn't be played at all, and it was a waste of time.Qu Chongyu was too lazy to talk to her and just waited intently for Liuli to come over.

After Liuli arrived, Zhang Minniang continued to complain.Liuli didn't say anything, just picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it down hard, and then flicked the cotton easily.This made Qu Chongyu and the others admire them very much.Liuli proposed a way to change the hammer to make it lighter for people to pick up.Liuli stood up and left, and Qu Chongyu solemnly walked her to the gate.Zhang Minniang felt a little sad, lowered her head and said nothing, as if she understood why she couldn't attract Qu Chongyu's attention.After Qu Chongyu sent Liuli away, he looked at her back with a smile on his lips.

Later, Qu Chongyu and his son played chess together and discussed how to send Song'er back to Chang'an and ask Qu Jingtang to send him back and avoid Xizhou where the war was about to begin.Before leaving, Qu Duhu hoped to let Zhang Minniang come to dinner and planned to take Zhang Minniang as his concubine, but Qu Chongyu emphasized that he would not take a concubine or marry his wife.He said that he needed the attention of Gaomen, but he believed that the relationship between the two parties was only mutually beneficial, and Gaomen also benefited a lot from them.Qu Duhu believed that the only way to firmly capture the other party was through marriage, but Qu Chongyu was confident. He believed that he could control them even without marriage.Qu Duhu wanted to continue persuading him, but Qu Chongyu refused without mercy.Qu Duhu reluctantly broke the chessboard and left angrily.

Mi Dalang brought Su Dingfang's personal letter.Because he helped Pei Xingjian deliver a letter to Su Dingfang, he established contact with Su Dingfang and was appointed as a guide in the army.This time, he brought Ashina Yunyi with him.As soon as Liuli saw Ashina Yunyi, she remembered the woman in red who was saved by Pei Xingjian in the tavern yard.After some interrogation, Su Dingfang learned the true identity of Ashina Yunyi, and asked her to come to Pei Xingjian's residence with Mi Dalang.He hopes to convince Ashina Yunyi's tribe to support them and prepare for the coming battle.

Ashina Yunyi's temperament is very similar to Liuli's, and the two of them are very compatible.Liuli entertained her warmly.Song'er and Qu Chongyu bowed to their grandmother together.Although Song'er is still young, her speech and behavior appear to be very sensible.He hoped that his grandmother could keep Qu Chongyu and his son safe, and prayed that Xizhou would win.Empress Wu was very happy to hear this and said that Song'er would be reused when she came back.Qu Chongyu stroked his son's head reluctantly.

Ashina Yunyi can't wait to go to the battlefield. She believes that only by defeating the enemy can she reunite with her family as soon as possible.Liuli persuaded her for a long time before finally letting her stay.In order to reassure Ashina Yunyi, Liuli asked Ani to go shopping with her.On the street, Ashina Yunyi fell in love with a string of beads, but had to give up because he didn't have enough money.Before leaving, she told her boss to keep the beads.
