Dong Zhuo was willful, regardless of his father's obstruction, and vowed to make friends with Du Zhen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć After the father and son quarreled, Dong Zhuo actually asked the servant to send him to the fortress to find Du Zhen.
At midnight, Dong Zhuo knocked on the door of the village owner and asked him to lead him to Du Zhen's residence. Du Zhen and Yang Zhang were sleeping soundly, and suddenly someone smashed the door, Yang Zhang woke up in a daze and thought that something was wrong, and was told by Dong Junya, so he immediately picked up Du Zhen and wanted to escape, but there was no way to run.
"Who? Why did you come in the middle of the night? Yang Zhang shouted boldly, and there was still a noisy crowd outside, knocking on the door.
At this moment, Du Zhen in his arms also woke up, and seeing that Uncle Yang seemed to be very nervous, he said: "Uncle Yang, don't be afraid, if someone comes to take us, we will set the house on order, and the five uncles on the opposite side can come to rescue us when they see it." This is the signal that I have agreed with my second uncle. ā
He didn't say that it was good, as soon as he talked about the five immortals of Mount Tai, Yang Zhang shook his head again and again: "Silly boy, although your five uncles don't need to sleep, they are doing meditation and qi practice at the moment, how can they see it?" In the past, when you were young, I threw you away like this. Yang Zhang didn't mean to be resentful in his words, but just reminded Du Zhen that he couldn't count on his five immortal uncles at this moment.
"Du Zhen boy, I'm coming to sleep with you, why don't you come and open the door with me?" Dong Zhuo saw that someone answered the door, but no one opened the door, so he called Du Zhen.
"It's Brother Zhuo, I'll open the door." When Du Zhen heard that the voice was Dong Zhuo's rough voice, he hurriedly broke free from Uncle Yang's arms and wanted to meet him.
"Zhen'er, don't ...... yet" Yang Zhang stopped halfway through his words, he didn't want Du Zhen to open the door, but he heard that Dong Zhuo was coming to sleep with Zhen'er, and he couldn't decide the situation for a while.
Du Zhen didn't care about Uncle Yang's concerns, his hand was faster than him. As soon as he opened the door, there were five or six people outside, except for Dong Zhuo, there were still domestic servants, village owners and others.
The owner of the village asked Yang Zhang in Qiang language: "Why did you come to open the door now, Dong Gongzi has been waiting for a long time." ā
Du Zhen didn't care about others, ran to Dong Zhuo, and asked him, "Why did you come here in the middle of the night?" ā
"My dad is stingy and refuses to stay with you, I'll come to your house for a few days and teach you wrestling, what do you think?" Dong Zhuozu was two heads taller than Du Zhen, and he pressed Du Zhen's shoulders with both hands and asked. Dong Zhuo likes to make friends, don't look at Du Zhen's young age, but he saved Dong Zhuo's life; He likes Du Zhen even more for being smart and dexterous, and he values his courage the most, he is strong inside and outside, but there is a tiger strength hidden in his weak body.
When Du Zhen heard this, he was very happy, and replied, "Great, the uncles still refuse to teach me, let's practice tomorrow." After speaking, he said to Yang Zhang: "Uncle Yang, Brother Zhuo is here to teach me wrestling, and he will stay for a few days." ā
Yang Zhang had been observing Dong Zhuo, and seeing that he didn't seem to be here to get people or test the details, he felt a little relieved. He said to Dong Zhuo: "Dong Gongzi, my house is cold and small, and there is no bed for you to rest." Yang Zhang, Dong Zhuo, and Du Zhen talked in Chinese, and the owner of the village couldn't understand it, so he tried to guess the situation by looking at the facial expressions of the three of them.
Yang Zhang saw that the owner of the village was struggling to listen, shook his hand again and again, and repeated it to him in Qiang, "No bed, no way to live!" āć At this moment, Dong Zhuo said: "Uncle Yang, this matter is okay, Du Zhen and I are squeezing." ā
The owner of the village finally knew what the three of them were talking about, and immediately said: "Dong Gongzi, this Han house is too simple, it is better for you to live in my house." ā
When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face was unhappy, and he replied in Qiang language: "I'm here to find Du Zhen, why do you want to stay at your house?" Even if I sleep on the ground, I will be here. ā
"This ......" The owner of the village had good intentions, but he strongly refused, and he couldn't help but feel that his face was completely empty, and there were no steps to go down, but a person next to him said: "The owner of the village, my family has an idle wooden bed, it is better to move here for Dong Gongzi." When the owner of the village heard this, he turned his shame into joy, and immediately asked a few people from his entourage to move the bed.
Yang Zhang politely refused Dong Zhuo, but he was troubled by the owner of the village, but even if there were no other people present, Dong Zhuo still wanted to live, but if there was another bed in the room, there would be no place to stand.
After the matter of sleeping in the bed was solved, Dong Zhuo called the servant to go back by himself, and told him: "Go back and tell my father that I will stay here for a while longer, and Hugh will come to bother me." ā
The servant was stunned, but he had no choice but to accept the order.
The night is deep, although the sky is dyed with thick ink, but there are also stars accompanied by the bright moon, shining brightly. After settling down, the owner of the village said goodbye and returned home. The three of them in the small Hanfang also lay down and went to bed.
Yang Zhang was lying on the bed, still worried in his heart: judging from Dong Zhuo's words and deeds, he didn't seem to know Zhen'er's life experience. At tonight's banquet, Dong Junya's attitude has changed, but it has to worry Yang Zhang, as the saying goes, the father does not hide from the son, how glorious the Du family was in the past, but it was suddenly chased and killed by the whole house, so how could Dong Junya not let Dong Zhuo prevent and alienate Zhen'er? Although the second son of the Dong family in front of him is not as scheming as his father, but at the moment Dong Zhuo's actions, Yang Zhang really can't understand it, is he completely scheming or is his true temperament revealed?
At this time, Dong Zhuo said to Du Zhen: "Listen to my father, you kid has a great background." ā
Yang Zhang's heart tightened at the moment, but he only listened without saying a word, just to hear how many things he knew.
Du Zhen was also lying in bed and couldn't sleep, today is fresh, someone came to accompany him, and he refused to go to bed early. He listened to Dong Zhuo's words, "hey, hey" laughed a few times, and asked him: "Uncle Yang said that my father was a former court official, I don't know if your father knows him?" Du Zhen is happy from the bottom of his heart, he never tells others about this, to tell the Qiang children? They didn't want to talk to Du Zhen at all, and today finally came someone who was willing to communicate with him, of course he was happy, and children like to brag about their father in front of others.
"My dad didn't say your dad's name, but I don't think he knew your dad." Dong Zhuo replied.
When Du Zhen heard him say this, his face suddenly became solemn, obviously unhappy. Uncle Yang never refused to tell him his father's name, and now when he heard Dong Zhuo talk about it, he thought that he could learn about his father from him, but now it seems that it is impossible.
"Boy, what's upset about it? If you want me to see it, the absence of the father is more leisurely. Dong Zhuo speaks, he is straightforward and fast-talking, and he never cares about the feelings of others.
Du Zhen heard this and said angrily: "You have a father and a brother, how can you understand my feelings?" I don't have a father or mother, and I don't have a brother by my side, what's the use of having a good time? ā
"This ......" Dong Zhuo realized that he was not choosing his words, and when he talked about Du Zhen's sore spots, seeing that he was sad, he also regretted it at the moment, and he simply said: "Boy, how about I be your eldest brother?" ā
When Du Zhen heard this, he said happily: "Do you want to become brothers with me to emulate the three warriors of Qi State?" "Du Zhen's knowledge is so extensive, the export is to quote the classics. But Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard it, he didn't understand, and only echoed: "Ang, it's a bow." ā
"Then if there's only one peach, which of the two of us will eat it?" Du Zhen thought he understood, so he continued to ask.
Dong Zhuo is revealing the stuffing now, and he said angrily: "People worship by burning incense and kowtowing, but what peaches do we want to eat?" I, Dong Zhuo, don't need to be so troublesome, although I don't need to burn incense, and I don't need to eat peaches. ā
"Haha, so you really don't understand. But if you don't say who the peaches are for, I won't bow to you. Du Zhen laughed at him.
Dong Zhuo was ashamed of his laughter, touched his head and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Do you have to tell the story of who eats peaches? In this way, how about one and half of us? ā
Du Zhen was about to speak, but Yang Zhang smiled and said: "Second son, these three warriors of Qi are the three famous warriors of Qi country, and there is an allusion here, called two peaches killing three braves." ā
"Two peaches kill three bravery?" Dong Zhuo was stunned and looked at Du Zhen, who was making a grimace at him, laughing at him for being a shallow learner.
Yang Zhang said: "These three warriors are the warriors of the Duke of Qijing, they are Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi. The three of them were like-minded and became brothers with different surnames. The three warriors are all strong in martial arts, and they all contribute to the war horses of the Qi country, so they are very arrogant and domineering, and no one pays attention to them. ā
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he said in his heart that I, Dong Zhuo, should also be such a character.
Yang Zhang continued: "Because of this, these three people provoked another powerful minister of the Qi State, Yan Zi. Yan Zi got Qi Jinggong's acquiescence, and he wanted to kill the three of them. He announced to the three warriors in the name of Jing Gong and said that he would reward them. When they heard that the king had a reward, they were glad to come, but when they came to the palace, they saw a golden plate with two large peaches that were fragrant and delicate. Yan Zi first boasted about the three of them, and finally said that there was a fine peach tree planted in this palace, but there were only two ripe ones. The monarch asked the three of them to divide the peaches according to their merits. ā
Dong Zhuo said: "How do the three of them get two peaches? ā
Yang Zhang smiled, and then said: "That Gongsun took the first to speak, he said that he had fought and killed tigers in the mountains, and the dense forests and wind in the mountains remembered his bravery, of course he could get a peach, so he took a peach; Tian Kaijiang did not show weakness, he said that he led the troops to fight twice, defended the territory of Qi, protected the people of Qi, and the rich court and the market sang about his exploits, and naturally he could also enjoy the reward of the king, and after speaking, he took the last peach; Gu Yezi was polite to the two of him because of his humility, but the peach was gone in a blink of an eye, he said angrily that he protected the monarch across the Yellow River, and the water monster turtle roamed and killed for half a day, and the people on both sides of the Yellow River regarded him as the god of the river, and he saved the life of the monarch, but now he can't even share a peach. He was so angry that he unconsciously drew his sword. Gongsun Jie and Tian Kaijiang couldn't help but be ashamed when they heard this, so they immediately pulled out their swords and killed themselves. Gu Yezi didn't expect the two of them to be blood-stained on the temple steps, so he regretted himself, saying that the three of them were brothers, but he used his words to brag about himself and humiliate his friends, which was unkind; Now that the two brothers have died for the sake of a peach, if they are still alive, it is unrighteousness; Now that I have done something wrong, if I dare not die, I will have no courage. So he also killed himself in front of the temple. This is the allusion of two peaches killing three braves. ā
"Oh, I see." Dong Zhuo only understood the intention of Peaches.
"You have to say it now, don't kill me for peaches in the future." How smart Du Zhen is, what he is worried about is not that he will compete with Dong Zhuo for peaches, but that he is afraid that he will kill himself in order to monopolize peaches.
Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said: "The peach divided by the three Yongs is just a name of merit on the surface, and what the three of them are fighting for is actually fame and fortune. Although Dong Zhuo is rough, his brain is not stupid, and he can naturally see the metaphor of the peach in the allusion. He continued: "Boy, I am older than you, and I will give you this peach. ā
Du Zhen was naturally happy when he heard it, but Yang Zhang said: "Second son, Zhen'er depends on you for everything, and the peaches are naturally yours." ā
Yang Zhang is a literati, so he is naturally bored with his thoughts, but he still knows how to observe words and feelings. Since Dong Zhuo wants to marry Du Zhen, it is either that Dong Junya did not tell him Du Zhen's life experience, or that Dong Zhuo is straightforward and does not care about dragging mud and water. In either case, Zhen'er has to rely on others to survive here. Yang Zhang has never wanted to do things to climb power and wealth in his life, but now he can only rely on Dong Zhuo for Du Zhen. Don't say it's competing with him, even if someone gives it to you, you can't be greedy.
Dong Zhuo smiled, he said: "I don't want to compete with others for peaches, and I don't want to be the Yanzi of peaches, I just want to be the person who can plant good peach trees in my own backyard!" ā
