Chapter 35: Meng Jiangnu is found
Under the pressure of Zhao Gao, the Great Wall was completed ahead of schedule, and Zhao Gao had already gone to Qin Shi Huang to ask for credit.
The place where Fan Qiliang was buried was bleak, and almost the beauties were willing to stay here.
Fan Zeng came here alone, Fang Mu saw this scene, he asked Fusu and Meng Tian to bring wine to Fan Zeng's side.
Fan Zeng and Fang Mu were not polite, they picked up the wine and poured it on the ground, and then drank it again.
Fang Mu, Fu Su and Meng Tian all sighed, picked up the wine and drank it with Fan Zeng, and then those people and servants slowly gathered over.
Meng Tian sent some soldiers to give these conscripts some wine and food, and everyone was grateful, so they took the food and wine and found an open place to eat.
……
At the foot of the Great Wall, a beautiful woman carried a burden, looked anxious and longing, and was about to go up to the Great Wall, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers who stayed behind.
The woman was so anxious that she even sang and told some of her experiences and deeds to the officers and soldiers, begging them to let them go!
"The two love each other for life, and the day of worship feasts for guests. Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the hall, and the reason was that the officers and soldiers came to the door. Qi Liang went north to repair the city wall, and looked at the husband stone to read Fan Lang. I miss that you can't eat enough, and I miss that you have no warm bed in the cold. Meng Jiangnu, the whole outfit, thousands of miles to find a husband and leave her hometown. ”
"The long pavilion is cold and summer, and the road to find a husband is difficult. Stand still before going to the customs, and no relevant taxes will be released. How can I run out of money early, and sing a sad song to listen to. first sing about the hardships of finding a husband for thousands of miles, and then sing about leaving home and missing your parents. ”
The officers and soldiers left behind were in tears when they heard this, and sent someone to report to Meng Tian.
"Hurry up and let that Meng Jiangnu come up to the Great Wall!" After Meng Tian heard the report, the soldiers immediately gave an order.
Meng Jiangnu really came, and now the Great Wall is going to be cried down, a team of loyal couples is also a kind of desolation in such an era. Fang Mu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he hoped that this was really just a legend.
……
Meng Jiangnu came to the Great Wall, saw many conscripts, and asked her husband Fan Qiliang along the way where she was, but people avoided it and were unwilling to answer, both sympathy and fear of Zhao Gao's cruel methods.
Meng Jiangnu came to Fang Mu and the four of them and asked politely: "Four adults, can you see the little woman's husband, Fan Qiliang?" ”
Fang Mu, Fusu and Meng Tian couldn't bear to tell Meng Jiangnu the truth, and Fan Zeng was already teary-eyed.
Fan Zeng stood up tremblingly: "Qi Liang has been killed by the brutal Zhao Gao, and the bones are here!" Fan Zeng pointed to the place where Fan Qiliang was buried.
It was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Meng Jiangnu almost didn't stand firm, and fainted directly, no wonder she was anxious not long ago.
Meng Jiangnu stabilized her mind, and then began to dig bricks with her bare hands, digging piece by piece, the blood in her hands flowed, but she didn't feel any pain.
"Brother Meng, ask someone to dig it for her!" Fang Mu didn't stop it, but called the soldiers to help Meng Jiangnu dig.
Meng Tian nodded, and several soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, and after a while, the bricks had been dug up, and Fan Qiliang's body appeared.
The corpse had already been unrecognizable, and it was not humanly smashed by the bricks, Meng Jiangnu trembled her hands and picked up Fan Qiliang's corpse.
Fan Qiliang's corpse held a very small and delicate jade gourd tightly in his right hand, and Meng Jiangnu took the jade gourd and couldn't cry.
Fang Mu and everyone knew at a glance that the jade gourd must be a token of love between Fan Qiliang and Meng Jiangnu.
Then Meng Jiangnu carefully took out the clothes in the bag, put them on Fan Qiliang's corpse, and then put the corpse away, and began to bury the corpse brick by brick.
Fan Zeng helped Meng Jiangnu with his old and trembling body.
"Report to the general, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the emperor is here!" A soldier came to report the news.
"Quick, Your Royal Highness the Prince, escort Qiliang's wife out of here!" Fan Zeng hurriedly asked Fusu for help.
Fusu: "Don't worry, sir, I'll do it, someone will ...... come"
"I'm not leaving, my husband is dead, and there is no point in my life!" Meng Jiangnu didn't wait for Fusu to finish speaking, and then said firmly.
"The emperor has arrived!" Zhao Gao's shrill voice came.
It's too late to leave now, Qin Shi Huang has already come with Zhao Gao.
"Welcome to the Emperor!"
Everyone saluted to greet Qin Shi Huang, but Meng Jiangnu did not salute, and looked at Qin Shi Huang with angry eyes, she thought that if there was no Qin Shi Huang, her husband would not need to build the Great Wall, let alone die.
Fang Mu admired a woman like Meng Jiangnu in his heart, who dared to love and hate, was loyal, and was not even afraid of death; Fan Zeng knows forbearance, he has already mixed into the conscription.
Qin Shi Huang looked at Meng Jiangnu, and exclaimed in his heart, this woman has a good appearance, and she came here after a lot of hardships for her husband, and she has already accepted Meng Jiangnu.
Zhao Gao has followed Qin Shi Huang's side for many years, and immediately understood Qin Shi Huang's thoughts, and made a flattering proposal: "Your Majesty, tonight's completion ceremony of the Great Wall, and this woman is included in the harem as a concubine, the beauty made in heaven!" ”
Fang Mu already knew all the endings of Meng Jiangnu, and he couldn't change anything.
Fusu's face immediately changed: "Father, don't do it!" Don't listen to Zhao Gao's villain's slander! ”
Fusu couldn't bear Zhao Gao at all, but Qin Shi Huang liked Zhao Gao's ability to observe words and colors, and knew what he wanted.
"Fusu, have I ever told me about this? Do you still care about me? "Qin Shi Huang was very unhappy to help Su oppose some of his things and ideas everywhere.
"The little girl is willing to obey the emperor's orders, but there is one thing to ask for?" Who knew that Meng Jiangnu actually agreed.
Qin Shi Huang: "Speak! ”
"Husband Fan Qiliang has died, and the little woman has not yet done the funeral for her husband, so I implore the emperor to let the little woman finish the funeral for her husband!" Meng Jiangnu originally wanted to hold a funeral for Fan Qiliang.
"Your Majesty, the completion ceremony of the Great Wall is imminent, and it is an unlucky thing to do a funeral, I hope the emperor will think twice!" Zhao Gao came out to stop it.
"No, what a loving and righteous woman, I'm right, I'll do it now, I can't delay the completion ceremony in the evening!" Qin Shi Huang had no reason not to agree, and he loved Meng Jiangnu even more, and the more he wanted to conquer.
……
Fan Zeng and Fusu didn't know Meng Jiangnu's thoughts, and Meng Jiangnu really wanted to finish the funeral for Fan Qiliang, and then agree to Qin Shihuang's request to be Qin Shihuang's concubine, and they no longer spoke.
Meng Jiangnu herself agreed, and she also did her best to be benevolent and righteous, otherwise she would not have escaped death, Fan Zeng and Fusu could only grieve in their hearts and grieve for Fan Qiliang.
Only Fang Mu knew that Meng Jiangnu was just a delaying tactic, first dragging Qin Shi Huang, and finishing the funeral for her husband Fan Qiliang, the highlight was later, and Meng Jiangnu never thought about living alone since she knew that Fan Qiliang was dead.
