Chapter 162: Beating Mandarin Ducks
Peng Ziqi's face seemed to have a layer of frost, and slowly became cold, he stared coldly at his sister behind Xia Xun, and said in a low voice: "Zi Xun, don't come out yet?" ”
Peng Zi flashed out in a daze, lowered his head, and called timidly: "Brother......"
Peng Ziqi glanced at Xia Xun and sneered: "Lord Yang, you are an official, and you should know the law and abide by the law." My sister, a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, is now coming out of your room and is intimate, how do you explain it? ”
Xia Xun said with some embarrassment: "This" sub-brother, you listen to my explanation, Sister Ling and I ...... Two loves......"
Peng Ziqi sneered: "Can two people be happy enough to abduct a woman from a good family?" Lord Yang, you don't know how my Ming Law deals with the crime of immorality against officials, right? At the lightest, you will be sentenced to a stabbed sentence and exiled for 3,000 miles! ”
"Brother!"
Peng Zichu hurriedly said: "Brother, I followed him...... The one who followed him to Moling is none of his business. ”
Peng Ziqi glared at her fiercely and shouted, "Shut up!" A daughter's family, doing such a corrupt thing, you still have the face to say! It's really an outgoing girl, when you go back, you see how the old lady punishes you, and if you are disobedient, your brother will not help you trace your youth. ”
Peng Zifu pursed his lips awkwardly, tears rolling in his eyes.
Xia Xun pulled Peng Zichu to his side and said to his brother-in-law: "Brother Ziji, Sister Ling and I are indeed in love." Leaving without telling me was because Yang was not thoughtful, but because he was entangled in official business, he couldn't get out for a while, otherwise, I would have planned to go back to Qingzhou and formally ask your mansion for a kiss.
Peng Ziqi was even more angry, and said coldly: "If you hire a wife, you are a concubine, you are a scholar, don't you even understand this rule?" You...... You did such a thing, how do you want my sister to deal with herself in the future? ”
Xia Xun said helplessly: "This ...... Isn't this unknowing? I believe that the younger brother will not preach it everywhere. It's all my own family and family affairs, it's easy to discuss, I must find an opportunity to go to the Zunfu as soon as possible, at that time, it was naturally three media and six certificates, and I would never treat her badly if I married Zifu. ”
"Xianggong ......"
Hearing Xia Xun's words, Peng Zichu's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but hold his sleeve, his nose was sore, and tears fell down his eyes.
"Well, don't cry, my brother reprimanded a few words, what's the big deal."
Xia Xun wiped her tears and comforted her softly.
Peng Ziqi saw this scene, but the more he watched it, the more angry he became.
My sister did such a thing, and ran away without telling her, which despised her identity, even in modern times, when you are an older brother, you will be angry because your sister doesn't know self-love, not to mention that in that era, etiquette and religion restrain everyone's behavior, even if he is a figure in the rivers and lakes.
Moreover, in Peng Ziqi's eyes, although his sister is not good at female red embroidery, she only likes to dance with knives and sticks, but she is very well-behaved and sensible. It must be Yang Xu, a prodigal son, who deceived his sister-in-law with clever words, otherwise she would never have done the matter of quitting her family and eloping to live together unmarried, and now he is still pretending to be gentle to his sister in front of him, and his sister still listens to his sweet words, how can Peng Ziqi not be annoyed.
Originally, on the way to Peng Ziqi, he also had all kinds of conjectures about his sister's current situation.
In his mind, the best result was that although his sister was abducted by Yang Xu, she did not really become a husband and wife with him, so there was still room for redemption. If his sister is already married to him, this is very bad.
Yang Xu has a reputation for being amorous outside, he doesn't care about this, the man's family, whether it is a rich uncle or a talented literati, it is common to be amorous outside, with Yang Xu's family background, if he really has an identity for his sister-in-law Ming Media is marrying, he can also accept it, especially his sister has become a de facto husband and wife with him, he can't agree if he wants to.
But unmarried elopement, will inevitably become the handle of the husband's cheap sister, since ancient times there are countless such examples, how many infatuated daughters abandon everything for the love of the elopement of the husband's family, the result is reflected by the husband's contempt, in the face of strong social public opinion, it is difficult to become a wife, can only be reduced to a concubine, and often ridiculed.
On the way here, he had already thought that if his sister had really been deceived by him, he would make the decision for his sister no matter what, and fight for her to come back. Now that Yang Xu has this promise, he was very relieved, but he discovered another layer of Yang Xu's identity.
Their family is all from the White Lotus Sect, and they are also the head of a sect. Although they are only missionaries and accept disciples now, and they have no intention of rebelling, the court will not let go of the Peng family because of this, not to mention that the old lady of his family is the sworn enemy of the current emperor, and he is a key criminal who can't search the world, if the Peng family is really married to the Yang family, and one day Yang Xu knows the true identity of the Peng family, what should he do at that time?
Yang Xu is an official of the imperial court and has a great future, will he take the risk of raiding his family and exterminating his clan for the sake of a gang of bandits? If he betrayed the Peng family at that time, how could his sister be embarrassed, the husband and wife turned against each other, and the children were separated, wouldn't it be a tragedy in the world? Or maybe one day the Peng family will expose their identities and be wanted by the imperial court, they can escape, if her sister marries an official like Yang Xu, what should she do? Is it a husband who abandons his son, or is he willing to be killed?
Seeing that Peng Ziqi's face was uncertain, and he seemed to be thinking about the current situation, Xia Xun secretly put his mind at ease, as long as his brother-in-law was not a stunned young man, he would add his fists and feet when he came up, and the matter would be negotiable, and he said sincerely: "Brother Ziqi, I know that you are dissatisfied with me, and there are thousands of mistakes, all of which are my fault." At this point, we should always think of a way to solve this matter without hurting dignity, and it is not a way to continue such a stalemate, right? ”
"Fix this?"
Peng Ziqi secretly smiled bitterly: "Are you willing to give up the high-ranking officials of the imperial court and follow my Peng family to be a thief, or can you persuade my Peng family to dissolve the altar, pull out the incense, and change to be a good citizen from now on?" You are an officer and soldier, I am a thief, we are natural rivals, how can we become a family? ”
The more Peng Ziqi thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't hurt your dignity? Decency has been lost to you! Zichu, come home with me, how to send you down, it's up to you to decide. ”
When Xia Xun saw it, he was also a little annoyed, stretched out his arms to stop him, and shouted: "Wait!" Zichu is now my wife, I don't agree, who dares to take her away? ”
Peng Ziqi was furious, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and said: "If my Peng family doesn't nod, Zi Chu is not your person!" Why, do you want to rely on your official body and use force with me? ”
Xia Xun didn't know that he was a Ming Media Zheng Xiao] said}} to marry a wife who had not yet entered the door, and a wife who had entered the door but had not yet been married by Ming Media, all of them had an identity that was difficult to see. Xie Yufei is a female liar who walks the rivers and lakes, and Peng Zichu is even worse, she is the great-grandson of Monk Peng, the number one general of the Tianwan Empire, who has been directly with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing Peng Ziqi like this, Xia Xun didn't know the jealousy in his heart, but he was quite unreasonable, and he didn't feel annoyed, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he gradually became angry: "What about using force?" I want to be reasonable, if you are unwilling, if you want to use force, even if you let the horse come, I, Yang, may not be afraid of your Peng family's Five Tigers Broken Door Knife! ”
Peng Ziqi was furious, he couldn't hold it anymore, he pulled out his knife with a sigh, and sneered! "What a big breath, then I'll let you see my Peng family's knife technique!"
Xia Xun is not afraid, he often sees Peng Zichu practicing knife techniques, and sometimes he has a discussion with her, and he already knows quite a lot about the moves of the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife, in his estimation, he learned the Hu family knife technique with his father-in-law, if he really wants to compete, it may not be weaker than the Peng family's knife technique.
Of course, the premise is that Peng Ziqi's sword attainments are similar to Ziyu.
When Xia Xun saw Peng Ziqi draw his knife, he did not show any timidity, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Di, take my knife!" ”
Xiao Di said timidly: "Young master, how can you have a sword, you only have a sword......
Xia Xun said, "Then bring the sword." ”
"Don't do it!"
Peng Zichu stopped sideways between his brother and Xianggong, opened his arms, like a hen guarding the chicks, and protected Xia Xun tightly: "Brother, if you dare to move him, my sister will ignore you for the rest of her life!" ”
"You...... You ......"
Peng Ziqi was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he knew that his sister did what she said, and he really didn't dare to make a mistake.
At the end of the day, he is a brother and sister of a mother's sibling, and he is a twin brother and sister, he cares about his sister more than anyone else, seeing that she is obsessed and defending Yang Xu like this, Peng Ziqi can't wait to grab her ears and yell at her: "Wake up, you, you are a prisoner of the imperial court!" Husband and wife with him? Do you want to live in fear for the rest of your life? ”
But he couldn't say these words, his sister was in the way, and he couldn't teach the bastard who was honest and shameless and abducted a girl from a good family, Peng Ziqi had no choice but to put the knife into the sheath, and said angrily: "You go with me, go home immediately, and wait for the prince to fall." ”
Xia Xun grabbed Peng Zichu's arm and said categorically: "She is my person, she wants to leave and wait for me to go together!" ”
Peng Ziqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "The surname Yang, if it weren't for my sister protecting you, do you think you would still be able to stand here and talk to me in a dignified manner?" He turned to Peng Zichu again and shouted, "Zichu, are you leaving?" If you don't come with me.1 I will go to Yingtianfu Yamen and accuse him of a crime of abducting a woman from a good family, and even if he Yang Xu does not die.1 He will have to tattoo his face and be exiled to the border. Where to go, you decide for yourself, big brother is also doing what he says today! ”
"I ...... I ......"
Peng Zichu was in a dilemma, looked at his awe-inspiring brother, and then looked at Xia Xun who was full of worry, suddenly burst into tears, threw himself into Xia Xun's arms and hugged him tightly, and sobbed: "Xianggong, my brother is angry, I ...... I'll go home with him first......"
Xia Xun hurriedly said: "Zi Xun! ”
Peng Zichu gently left his embrace, and said with a tearful smile: "Xianggong, people are already yours, are you still afraid that I will run away?" In this life, everyone is your person, and I am waiting for you to come. ”
Xia Xun said: "Why do you have to wait, I will go with you." ”
Peng Zichu said angrily: "You are crazy! Are you a palace guard, and you have left your post without permission, and you want to die? ”
Xia Xun said: "No matter how much, if you can't even protect your wife, what kind of official are you doing!" It's better to die than ......to die."
Peng Zichu said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" If you dare to die, I will remarry immediately! ”
Xia Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard her spicy words, Peng Zichu burst into laughter, and comforted him with a little naughty: "If you are reluctant to let me marry someone else, then live well, didn't you say that there is a Lord Luo, who will transfer you to another office after a year and a half, are you afraid that we will not have a chance to meet again."
I "I'll go back first, it's about to enter the middle of summer, the south is heavy in water, I'm really not used to living there, quite, you should go back to your parents' house to escape the summer, okay?" ”
Peng Ziqi got goosebumps when he got up, he and his sister were together in his mother's belly, for so many years, he had never heard his tomboy sister say such a tender and heart-wrenching word, he rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Have you finished talking?" After that, I'll leave immediately, do you want my brother to accompany you to be embarrassed here? ”
Peng Zichu slowly walked to Peng Ziqi's side, stared at Xia Xun affectionately, suddenly turned around sharply, and ran out of the crowd. Peng Ziqi stood upright with his knife and stared at Xia Xun in menace, and then retreated.
Xiao Di said in a panic: "Young Master, Sister Peng is gone, what should I do?" Oops, the young master is going to be late for the court, what should I do? ”
Xia Xun gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to the court!" ”
"What about Sister Peng?"
"I went to the court to take leave and went back to Qingzhou to chase my wife."
"Oh......"
"Young Master! Master! ”
Steward Xiao saw Xia Xun rushing out in a hurry, got on his horse and galloped away, he couldn't catch up, so he had to run back and ask Xiao Di, "Girl, what did the young master do?" ”
Xiao Di said innocently: "The young master is going up." ”
Steward Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Go to the court? That's good. ”
Xiao Di confidently continued: "The young master went to ask the emperor for leave and went back to Qingzhou to chase his wife. ”
Daddy Xiao choked violently, his face was swollen red, his eyes were about to bulge out, and he screamed in his throat: "What? What did you say? Girl, say it again! ”
The pre-DPRK officials are called the DPRK counselors, and they all wear tooth tags. Before the stars and moon dispersed, they rushed to the imperial city, walked in from the east and west Chang'an gates, and waited in the courtroom. To the south of the right gate, it is the Jinyi guard duty room; The next three rooms are the Hanlin duty room, when waiting for the dynasty, the university scholars live in the north threshold, the bachelors are in the middle, and the rest are in the south threshold. In addition, there are five duty rooms on the left side of the end door, also known as "board room", which is the place where the Zhan Mansion, the left and right spring squares and the officials of the Department of Economic Affairs are waiting for the court.
The noon gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City, there are three ques, the middle is the royal road, it is not often opened, and the left and right two ques are for the general on duty and the guards holding the staff and flag school people to enter and exit; The left and right sides open a door each, called the left and right doors, which are the doors for hundreds of officials to enter the court. The name "Five Phoenix" on the upper floor of the noon gate is set up towards the bell and drum, which is in charge of the eunuch of the bell and drum division.
The imperial court guard of honor, that is a very solemn event, also took into account that there may be guards on duty who are temporarily absent due to illness for some reason, so they have their own substitutes, Xia Xun did not arrive in time, and when the general of the station hall was called, he found that there was a lack of people, and immediately found a replacement. The drum triad sounded, and the generals on duty and the guards holding the staff and flags were clearly dressed and armored, and the guard of honor was neat, and they entered with pride.
After the guard of honor stood inside and outside the Fengtian Palace, the bell rang, and the civil and military officials entered the door in the order of generals, close officials, princes and horses, five mansions and six departments, Ying Tianfu and miscellaneous officials in Beijing.
At this time, Xia Xun rode his horse like a fly, and he ran outside the noon gate.
