Chapter 295: Hideous and Less
Zhong Guan's ability to live in the place where the Shu Emperor lived before was also Lu Ziyu's special kindness, and if he didn't have Lu Ziyu's approval, he wouldn't dare to come to this mansion if he didn't have a hundred dares.
In this huge mansion that stretches for more than 200 zhang just around the house pond, it is still easy to find a separate courtyard, and the merged house and the road are divided into three courtyards, all of which are divided by the wall, among which there are countless open and closed courtyards, and it is quiet and unusual to find a separate courtyard in the backyard of the general's mansion.
Zhong Guan personally cleaned the courtyard in a corner of the backyard, and the perennial dusty courtyard was as new as a new house, which could be described as extremely careful, and he had never been so good to his father and mother.
Everything was ready, Zhong Guan invited Zhang Fangying here, and after Zhang Fangying said the word "roll" with satisfaction, only a few family members were left to guard outside the door, and he left in disgrace.
When leaving, I didn't forget to look back at the few family members who were waiting for the battle, and there was some sympathy in my eyebrows.
Others don't know why Zhang Fangying's residence in the palace is almost unoccupied, but Zhong Guan is clear.
This Fang Ying can be said to be extremely cruel to the people of the Central Plains, and he likes to use his disgusting insects to observe and test on people, Zhong Guan's method of using Gu worms to continue his life is the result of how many lives he has piled up, and the few family members left behind will also become his playthings in his spare time in Mianzhou in the past few days.
After Zhong Guan walked away, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he clutched his chest, which did not belong to him, and let out a long breath, which felt like he was coming back to life again.
Isn't that what is the case when you are afraid of a person, and you wish you could stay away as soon as possible, even if he is someone who has a life-saving grace for you.
At night, the city of Mianzhou fell into a silence, only the city hooked the fence, the place to look for flowers and willows is still brightly lit, lively and extraordinary.
Just in time for the war, in fact, there are few people left in Mianzhou, and there are only some dignitaries and dignitaries with advanced ideological vision, these were originally the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now they have passively become people from Shu, among them there are willing people and unwilling people. But whether they are willing or not, it is already a certainty that they will become people of Shu.
The first reaction of ordinary people when they hear about the war is to drag their families and mouths away from the land of right and wrong as soon as possible, so as to avoid the poison of war. The mountains of Xishu are towering, among them, there are many bandits who cut the path to seek money and kill their lives, and many of the people who escaped did not die in the war, but died in the hands of the bandits, which is sad and pitiful.
However, the dignitaries and dignitaries in the city knew very well that when they heard of the war, they did not rush to the common people with their heads, and many merchants with great foresight did not flee, but made a fortune in the war. For example, huge stones and arrows were needed to defend the city, so those merchants bought a lot of baskets of logs for a very small amount of silver before the people of Pingtou fled, and then sold them to the Mianzhou city guards at a high price.
Those city guards can only let them slaughter this situation, because Lu Ziyu has long issued a series of convenient policies to the people of Shu in order not to let the population of Shu lose too much, one of which is that the people are bigger than the sky, and no official or soldier can bully and scold the people, even if the people take the initiative to provoke, they cannot fight back, otherwise they will be fined more than a dozen taels of silver, and the worst is that the big board is served or even the official is demoted to one level, which makes the people of Shu have unscrupulous qualifications.
However, even if the people know these greatest tolerances, they don't dare to go beyond the rules, and really do the thing that seeks death, those officials and soldiers have a way to kill you, after all, when no one is around, secretly cut you seven or eight times, and no one knows that they will not be convicted.
Therefore, now the remaining dignitaries in the city have no nervousness at all, they know that no matter how many people die on both sides, they will not let the people die violently, and the two sides are now one to defend the population of Shu, and it is better to say that it is for the people of Mianzhou to defend the city, if there is an evil act of blocking the knife with the people, who would want to live in Shu?
The other is to regain the lost land under the banner of the Great Zhou, and it needs the support of the people, if you do something to slaughter the people, not only will you lose the hearts of the people, but also the lost land will not be able to recover without the support of the people.
So these dignitaries and dignitaries are making war money, and at the same time they are looking for pleasure in the city, they only have silver and Ansheng in their eyes, as for who owns it, they never care, all they care about is whether you can make me earn more silver.
Those places of smoke and willows that are still open in Mianzhou City have also detected the mouths of the officials and dignitaries early, and it is not unreasonable for them to be unscrupulous from the beginning to the current unscrupulous.
On the third day of Zhang Fangying's arrival in Mianzhou, Zhong Guan's soldiers had already been integrated, and they waited for Zhong Guan's order to cross the Luoshui to block the back road of the Zhongzhou army and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
But it was also on this day, the Zhang family, a big family in the city, suddenly wanted to feast all the officers and soldiers defending the city, of course, not all, in that case, even if the Zhang family was rich, it would not be able to control the thousands of people to have fun, and they would be able to lose the family property in an instant, so most of these officers and soldiers were above the commander, and the Zhang family could not invite generals and the like, so there were the most military attachΓ©s in the middle of the number of captains.
Banquet officials, this kind of thing is very common in Mianzhou City, at least in the recent period of time, for example, when the Zhongzhou army retreated, Mianzhou Taishou chartered the entire place to find flowers and willows, and invited dignitaries.
The head of the Zhang family is also a young man, when Lu Ziyu beat Mianzhou, the old head of the Zhang family suddenly died of illness inexplicably, Zhang Sijin, the young master of the Zhang family, who was only twenty years old, was in charge of the Zhang family's foundation, and his twenties were also the age of play.
So the Zhang family is going to come here like this, and no one thinks it's boring.
Manchun Pavilion, is the largest smoke willow place in Mianzhou, it is directly located on the lake in the city, is composed of three huge boats, each of which is five stories high, it is rumored that this is the big man behind the scenes who has never appeared in the Manchun Pavilion, from the war ship bought in the Huaishui War 30 years ago, and spent a huge amount of silver to repair and beautify, and gradually evolved into today's boat.
And if you want to go to the Manchun Pavilion, you must take a boat, if you don't have a boat, it's easy to do, fifty taels of silver for a person, there are Manchun Pavilion boatmen to take you into the boat, a full fifty taels of white flowers and silver, enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for several months!
There are a lot of "boys" who can't afford to buy a boat, and those who can afford to buy a boat can't afford to buy a boat, and those who can't afford to buy a boat can't afford it, so the turtle bustard in Manchun Pavilion is especially good at watching people, not to mention what they are wearing, but also to see what kind of boat they are taking.
On this day, Zhang Sijin invited guests to eat flowers and wine, and naturally prepared fishing boats to ferry people, many rich officials came by appointment, and there were no less than 100 wooden boats of all sizes parked around the Manchun Pavilion, and those who were invited were almost all there, but there were still groups of three or five groups of old bustard turtles looking at the bow of the main boat, and people with discerning eyes knew what they were waiting for, that was today's protagonist - Zhang Sijin, the son of Zhang Sijin.
At this moment, a burst of drums came, and a three-story dragon boat appeared on the lake, and the bow of the boat was full of strong men with bare breasts and red cloths, beating gongs and drums vigorously.
Needless to say, if this ship is a frequent visitor to the Spring Pavilion, it is the very high-profile and unruly Zhang Sijin Zhang Dagongzi, everyone is stopped to watch, a glance at the romantic characters, they are all envious in their eyes, I heard that Zhang Sijin followed his grandfather is a big family in Huai'an County, in order to avoid the war came to Shu, at first it was difficult and no one bought it, and then relied on the silver that was moved from Huai'an County one after another, little by little to work hard to the point now.
That Zhang Sijin also admired the extravagant style of the children of the eunuchs of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the extreme, he must take the evil slave dog when he travels, eat the best, live the best, and even the appearance of the bed woman is one of the best, but this Zhang Gongzi is not like other sons, extravagant and as greasy and extraordinary as a nouveau riche, his luxury is not lost in the graceful and uninhibited world, and has been favored by many rich ladies.
The dragon boat stopped at a distance of 100 zhang from the boat, and more than a dozen servants worked together to push a fishing boat into the lake, set up a ladder, and then out of the dragon boat, a man in white with a jade belt flying, paced down the ladder, and took more than a dozen eagle dogs into the main boat of Manchun Pavilion in the fishing boat.
The boring look on the face of the turtle bustard, which had been waiting for a long time, suddenly changed to the color of the happy smile, and the speed of changing his face was staggering.
Although the old bustard is a half-old, the charm still exists, the place is round and tight, the convex place is not lost to the young woman in the boat, she smiled and greeted Zhang Sijin, did not go to Zhang Gongzi for the first time, but waved his hand with a familiar car, and suddenly walked out of the crowd Nearly 20 graceful girls, the old bustard pointed to them and said: "First greet the masters brought by Zhang Gongzi thoughtfully, if there is a mistake, the old lady will throw you into the lake." β
None of the twenty girls thought that the old bustard was joking, they were about to pull those eagle dogs with smiling faces, but they didn't want to eat a closed door, these eagle dogs of the Zhang family were expressionless one by one, and their bodies were immovable.
The old bustard's good-looking autumn eyes also flashed with a trace of doubt.
Zhang Sijin glanced at the young man next to him without leaving a trace, the young man raised his head slightly, and the evil servant eagle dog behind him followed the girls away.
The old bustard laughed and quipped: "I thought that the uncles of Zhang Gongzi's family had quit meat and changed to vegetarianism, and I was still impressed by the uncles, but it turned out that this man was still unreliable." β
Zhang Sijin hooked the corners of his mouth, stood up with his hands and smiled: "If the men change the meat, your boat will not be able to go down." β
"Oh, Zhang Gongzi said with a smile, you can open it up and down, and when the time comes, you can serve some vegetarian dishes, hey, this little boy's face is tight, Zhang Gongzi doesn't introduce it? Which family is the first to grow up, let me also open my eyes. β
The old bustard noticed that there was a young man next to Zhang Sijin, according to Zhang Sijin's temperament, he came out to eat flowers and wine at most with the family servants, never came with friends, in his eyes, those gentlemen of the same age in Mianzhou were not the same grade as him, and the heads of the family in the same position were also old, so this Zhang Sijin was also quite lonely.
"My cousin, who is four or five years younger than me, has just recently undergone the crown ceremony, so I took him out to see the world."
The old bustard covered his mouth and snickered, walked up to the young man and whispered in his ear: "It turned out to be a second son, do you want my sister to find you a good-looking sister and fade your identity as a chick for you?" If you fall in love with your sister, your sister can also have a bed fun with you, and she will give you a small red envelope afterwards. β
After the old bustard finished speaking, she felt the heat of Gongsun and an extremely calm and safe feeling from the young man's body, which made her really spring heart ripple, this old bustard in Qinglou is not someone who can eat it if she wants to, she can see the world is absolutely enough, and ordinary rhetoric really can't move her, but this is the feeling......
The young man didn't speak, but Zhang Sijin was angry on his face, grabbed the old bustard's arm and threw it aside, "Don't be rude!" β
The old bustard was thick-skinned enough, and she didn't feel embarrassed, she snorted in disgust, "If the son doesn't want to, he doesn't want to, I can't go." β
The young man waved his hand and shook his head at Zhang Sijin, "In the land of smoke and willows, follow the customs of the locals, no hindrance, can my sister take us to a place with a good scenery to drink and have fun with the beauties?" β
