Chapter 118: The Second Year of the Earth Emperor
"Seeing that the winter is about to be cold, where can I go to you to hunt geese?"
Ma Yuan's request can stump Wan Yu, at this time, the migratory birds are flying to the south for the winter, how can they still catch geese? Wan Xuan could only mobilize soldiers to look everywhere, and finally bought a male goose in a farmer's household that was caught and raised with a goose due to a wing injury.
The family goose is also a goose, and the first item of the six marriage ceremonies, "Nacai", can finally be carried out smoothly, and Wan Yu was also invited by the fifth Lun to make a cameo appearance as a matchmaker.
The conditions are limited, too much red tape is not particular, Ma Yuan took the goose that Wu Lun respectfully handed over with a straight face, and said: "The dusk ceremony is issued, and the goose is adopted, and it is taken from the north and south at any time, without losing its festival, and it is clear that it is not the time to take the woman." It is also taken to fly into a line and stop into a column, and the marriage ceremony is clear, and the young and old are orderly, and they do not exceed it. Boyu, can you do it? ”
"Only, Lun respectfully accepts the promise!"
Fifth Lun seconds understand, after this, he can no longer call Ma Yuan's words, what a loss.
"Walk with you." Fifth Lun called it so, but Ma Yuan didn't agree, and he always felt awkward.
Before that, Ma Yuan looked at how the fifth Lun looked at how pleasing to the eye, but today, it was how to look at how to be angry.
Later, Ma Yuan resigned from the Fifth Lun and Wan Xuan, and he wanted to go south before the Fifth Lun.
Before leaving, he only instructed the fifth Lun Dao: "Boyu has returned to Chang'an, pick a good day, and bring a goose to my house." ”
Of course, this is the second procedure for him to carry out the wedding, ask for the name, and the six wedding ceremonies, there are five to use geese, and one goose and five eats must be sent.
The reason why he was in a hurry to go back was that Ma Yuan, as the eldest in the family, was not the patriarch. For the major matter of the family marriage, he had to go and talk to the two brothers. Fifth Lun's "great ambition" is never dared to say, the Ma family, as a new upstart in the new dynasty, the second brother and the third brother are all loyal to the king, at least for now.
Secondly, Ma Yuan decided to do another thing of "doing it with interest", he wanted to promote the eldest daughter's mother, that is, the concubine's room, to the main room, and Ma Yuan would be a wife in the future, and Ma's lady also changed into the eldest daughter!
"Fifth Lun's son is very cunning, but I can't let my daughter be angry with him because of her identity."
……
Fifth Lun couldn't keep up with the pace of Ma Yuan single-handedly, so he was stopped when he got out of the barracks.
Lian County, which was most damaged by Hu Lu last month, after everyone learned the news that Wulun was leaving, the three old men took the lead on the right, and thousands of people came to the barrier to stay, reluctant to let him go.
For a time, the old and weak cried with each other, stopping the car of the fifth lun, and the old and young climbed the car and knocked on the horse, crying and following each other, so that the day was not more than a few miles.
There were even people who were very lazy, and they didn't care about the snow on the ground, and they lay down on the road, and the team had to stop.
The fathers and elders all bowed to the fifth lun: "Hu Lu is on the side, the general will not be able to resist, may the beggar general stay for a period of time!" ”
Fifth Lun knew that the people of Lianxian County were worried that after they left, Hu Lu would enter the Kou again, and the officials were greedy for life and afraid of death, and refused to save each other, so he only bowed his hand to his father and elders in the car: "The folk customs of the new Qin Dynasty have always been strong, the folk customs are martial, there are more generals, and the children can ride horses and shoot arrows. ”
"Hu Lu took advantage of the weakness before, but it was because of the lax armament in the past few decades, and the people on the right side of Hu Lu were not as good as the four counties in the middle of New Qin, so why be afraid."
"My subordinates will stay here, wait for the shrewdness, once there is a police, they will light the beacon smoke in advance, and the people can also practice the five soldiers with the soldiers, you will not only defend the country, but also protect the family!"
Although the Xiongnu recuperated and recovered their national strength, they were far less powerful than the old and old worlds, and it was not easy for the whole country to invade.
The people of Lian County saw that they couldn't keep it, so they had to let it go, but the father came over with a big bowl of rice wine after it was warm, saying that it was cold and the road was cold, so he invited Wu Lun to drink to warm his body.
The fifth Lun did not refuse, and he took the bowl and drank it all.
Spent the night in Shanghe City, and Dou Rong, who only went south next month, drank and talked, and the next day he left the city and arrived by the river, but was stopped again.
This time, it was a few pairs of newcomers who stopped the fifth lun, and said that since the fifth battalion led the troops to cross the river to attack Hu, the people of Xinqinzhong, who were very wary of the soldiers in the past, gradually changed their attitude, believing that they were "soldiers who protect the people".
There are also some single people who are hundred, and the sergeants have solved the major events of their lives, and the fifth Lun is in accordance with the promise, as long as there is a marriage with a local girl in the army, the matchmaker will find it himself, and the fifth Lun will be responsible for the dowry. Some people choose to join because they used to be slaves and don't even have a surname, while others call themselves the "fifth clan".
In order to let themselves and their children live, there are many people who remarried more than a month after the death of their ex-husbands.
As long as the fifth Lun has leisure, he will marry for the soldiers, and today I heard that he is leaving, several couples who are about to get married in the near future will advance the date, and wait for the fifth Lun by the frozen river, and the poorly dressed newlyweds pleaded: "The general treats us with great grace, dare to drink a glass of wedding wine!" ”
Can you not drink this wine? No, after leaving a few heavy gift money, Wu Lun drank three more cups.
Don't look at the degree of rice wine, but when you drink it fiercely, you go up, and when you walk slowly on the frozen Yellow River, Wu Lun is already a little dazzled.
Unexpectedly, after arriving on the other side, there will be a bigger battle, and more wine is waiting for him.
From afar, I saw that the white snow was black and oppressive, and it was thousands of people, and the residents of Lian County and Shanghe were still spontaneously organized, and Natewu County was the official leader, from the county magistrate to Wei and Cheng, and the person who really called on them was Zhang Chun.
Zhang Chun, as the representative of the county fathers and elders, led the clansmen and villagers to sing from afar: "There are no attached branches in mulberry, and there are two ears of wheat." Boyu is in charge of politics and is very happy. ”
He also took the lead in singing: "If you are not happy, think of me fifth." When will I come back, and I will be here! ”
This is not a book of poetry, but the people's harmony song, and when it was near, Zhang Chun took the special martial arts people to greet him, and said: "The general has been stationed in the special military for more than half a year, not only to chase away the thieves and robbers, but also to be honest and benevolent, and to raise the county to be favored, and now resigned, how can we not repay the kindness of the people who have received the blessings?" ”
As he spoke, he made a big deal, and the local Haoqiang gathered together the donated cattle and horse utensils, worth hundreds of thousands, and hoped that the general would accept it with a smile. Of course, the fifth Lun can't ask for it, just thank him politely, and suffer nothing.
Since he refused to ask for something valuable, that Zhang Chun was priceless: "Yu Dingguo, the prime minister of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in the previous dynasty, and his father Yu Gong was the county prison history of Donghai County, and the county decided Cao, and the prison was fair and just, even if the person who was punished, as long as the judgment was out of the hands of Yu Gong, he would not be hated." So much so that the county set up an ancestral hall for it, called the public ancestral hall. ”
"We want to follow the East China Sea in the public affairs, and we also set up a shrine for the general on the edge of the big river in the county, so that the local people can remember the general's kindness for generations!"
Wu Lun refused again, but Zhang Chun was very persistent, and the people behind him shouted: "The general is gone, let's stand again!" ”
This situation made Wu Lun feel that his persistence was indeed not in vain, and he was also deeply jealous of Zhang Chun.
First singing, then giving money, and finally the ancestral hall, it is simply an endless routine. Zhang Chun not only helped the fifth Lun to become famous, so that the relationship had a beginning and an end, but also won the favor of the fifth song, so that the strong dragon and the earth snake could continue to live in harmony.
Fifth Lun only said secretly: "Wan Xuan, Xuan Biao, and Seventh Biao, the troika I left in Xinqin combined, none of them are Zhang Boren's opponents. ”
This made the fifth Lun a little more worried about his subordinates, within two years, they would still be the fifth song, and after two years, it was uncertain what would become of them.
The soldiers of the Zhang family, or the soldiers of a certain succeeding general?
After all, people's hearts also have a shelf life, and Fifth Lun can't throw everyone here for too long.
"In the future, I still have to find a way to tune the fifth tune back, what excuse should I use? Like what...... Enter the king of Beijing? ”
Just thinking about it, Zhang Chun handed over the wine: "In the past, Yu Dingguo could drink a stone without getting drunk, I don't know how much Boyu can drink?" ”
It was a glass full of millet wine full of warm soup, and after the fifth Lun went down twice, the people applauded, but he himself was a little confused, only to see that the third light was really big and round, but thousands of pairs of eyes looked at it, and still forcibly poured it.
On that day, the fifth Lun was drunk.
How this send-off ended in the end, Wu Lun was ignorant, and only remembered that they were sent out for more than ten miles in the cold weather, waved several times and still followed, and sang a song under the leadership of Zhang Chun.
"I can't see it in the distance, and I wander in melancholy. Grace is really hard to hope for, and you will always cherish it! ”
And when Wu Lun woke up from a sleep in a bumpy car, he found that the sky was still bright, probably a good night's sleep, because he told him that he must go on the road in the morning, so he was helped into the car by his subordinates.
Fifth Lun rubbed his messy head and asked what day it was.
"The sect master slept directly for a year this night!"
Zhang Yu, who handed the decanting wine and warm soup to the fifth Lun, said: "Today is the first day of the lunar month, and the second year of the emperor!" ”
……
It was the first day of the second year of the Emperor (21 AD).
In Baishui Township, Caiyang County, Qianqian County, in the Liu family's mansion, Liu Xiuyi, as in previous years, knocked on the door in a silk robe and reminded his brother: "Liu Bosheng, forget Wang Mang's hatred of usurping the Han?" ”
After the incident, he sat in the courtyard to eat morning food, the juice fell on the beard, Liu Xiu went to wash, stroked his old beard, and couldn't help but sigh the passage of time.
"In the blink of an eye, I have been studying from Chang'an Taixue for two years."
In the past two years, Liu Xiu has not been idle, among the Liu brothers, Liu Bo has been promoted to the main enterprising, recruiting heroes, and training clan soldiers. Liu Xiu is the main guard, focusing on grain storage, Nanyang suffered a disaster last year, only Liu Xiu's field was harvested. Now, even the eldest brother who has been laughing at him for only focusing on farming can't help but praise.
With food, there is everything, and the people who can't survive in the famine years either go into the mountains to become robbers, or join the Haoyou family. The imperial court has relaxed its control in the front team, there are more and more bandits in the green forest in the south, and the guests of the Liu family have slowly gathered, and there have been hundreds of people, and if the people are mobilized, there will be two or three thousand people to respond.
It is getting closer and closer to the time that Liu Bosheng is looking forward to.
But every time he couldn't help but want to raise the flag, Liu Xiu persuaded him.
"Uncle Wen, I said that the Earth Emperor will be the last year of the thief Wang Mang."
"Brother, the emperor has six years, and it's only been a year, so wait first!"
Liu Xiu has this temperament, he is not in a hurry to do things, he is steady, time is on their side, and let the world be chaotic for a while. But every time he went out, he witnessed the passage of displaced people and the tyranny of the harsh officials, and Liu Xiu was quite unbearable.
At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open, and a person rushed in, pulling Liu Xiu and walking out.
But it was Liu Xiu's classmate and friend when he was in Taixue, Deng Yu.
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Zhonghua is here, Cai Yang doesn't say a word, where are you going?" Let me change into clothes that are fit to go out. ”
"It's all burning beards, and Uncle Wen can still take care of changing clothes!" Deng Yu was anxious for him, and stomped his feet and said:
"I'm here to inform you that over there in Xinye County, someone came to the door and proposed to your crush, the lady of the Yin family!"
