Bu Feng was very moved to learn that the woman he loved in his heart was also favored by himself, but he thought that he was born poor, although he joined the army, he did not have any meritorious service, and he was ashamed, so he trained more diligently every day, and studied the art of war more hard, in order to be promoted, and when he could go to the battlefield, he led the boat division to establish his military exploits, so as to repay the meaning of the clouds.

Although Bu Feng is shrewd and capable, he is very wooden in the affairs of his children, and when he met Liuyun two years ago, Liuyun has already revealed his heart, and Bu Feng is unaware. In the past two years, he has never taken the initiative to visit Liuyun, so that Liuyun waits. Only this time, Liuyun used the jade pendant to convey his affection, and he understood in his heart.

Bu Feng was very remorseful about this, and this time he was going to visit Liuyun once no matter what.

After the Qingming Festival, the weather became warmer, and the sergeant drill was largely completed, and things in the army were a little relaxed. Bu Feng came to the general of the Yuhang Navy Division, asked for a leave of absence for five days, and the general of the Navy Division said: "Since joining the army, Captain Budu has been diligent and loyal to his duties for two years, and has not slackened for a day. Today, the 3,000 boat division in Yuhangcheng has completed its training. Captain Budu wants to take leave, how can five days be enough? General Ben granted you ten days. ”

The wind was overjoyed, and General Xie said: "Thanks to the general's compassion, the last general should try his best to train the troops to repay him." ”

General Yuhang Sailor said: "Now the king has already issued an order, and after the boat division is trained, he can use troops to the outside world at any time." If the army is sent to the expedition, the general will promote the infantry captain to the deputy general and lead the boat division into battle. Captain Budu wants to be encouraged! ”

After hearing this, Bu Feng was secretly surprised in his heart, but he was not good at asking for details, so he nodded and promised: "If there is a war, the last general should give up his life and forget to die, in order to repay the general's kindness for bringing him to him!" ”

The general said: "You go, after the ten-day holiday, return to the army as soon as possible." While there is nothing to do at this time, I will grant you a five-day holiday, and if there is a war, it will be difficult to have such a time to take a vacation. ”

Bufeng Lingnuo thanked him again and returned home to reunite with his parents.

Parents saw Bufeng come back, overjoyed, since Bufeng joined the army, although the home is close to the late foot, it is difficult to come back twice a year, and most of the time when they come back is just a meal and hurriedly left. This time, Bufeng returned home and said that the army had allowed a ten-day holiday, and his parents were happy in their hearts, so his mother said to Bufeng: "You are not allowed to be at home since you are in the army." When the neighbors heard that you had a military position, they all valued my family very much. It's rare to have a little holiday today, and have a good meal, and I'll tell you something important about my mother after eating. ”

His father took out the wine, to drink some with the wind, the neighbors heard that the wind came home, but also each brought wine and meat to come to see, the wind thanked one by one, then put two tables, the wine and meat dishes were placed on the table, beckoning the neighbors to sit down and eat wine.

Bufeng's house was lively, and his mother saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart.

The neighbors all appreciated Bufeng very much, and frequently toasted to Bufeng's father, Bufeng's father was happy, drank happily, and couldn't close his mouth happily, and after a meal, he was drunk and couldn't wake up.

The neighbors all laughed and dispersed, Bufeng's mother complained that the neighbors should not let Bufeng's father drink, and helped Bufeng's father into the bedroom to rest, and then cleaned up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, and Bufeng also came over to help clean up.

His mother said to Bufeng: "The neighbors who came to the house today are all from this village. You've only been away from home for two years, so think about it, have these neighbors ever been in the same situation? ”

Bu Feng thought carefully, these neighbors are all acquaintances, and most of them farm and fish for a living, and their family backgrounds are similar, so he told his mother that their family backgrounds are similar, and his mother shook her head and said: "Think about what is the same situation of the people in their family, why did they come to my house to eat and drink today?" ”

Bu Feng was surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, in addition to the similar family background, these neighbors in these hometowns all have daughters, and they are not much different in age from themselves, Bu Feng then understood, it turned out to be so. Only then did he say to his mother, "My son knows." ”

His mother asked, "What do you know?" Let's talk about it! ”

Bu Feng said: "They want to tell the child about their family. ”

His mother clapped her hands and laughed: "Exactly, the man should marry the woman and get married, you are also twenty-two years old this year, and you have passed the age of the weak crown, so it should be said that it is a family matter." These neighbors, all of whom have daughters at home, are not a few years old from you, and now they know that you are an officer in the army, and they are all vying to marry you! I've told your father several times that it's rare to return home today, so you will make a family affair first, and then marry in the future. You have known the daughters of these families since childhood, but it is up to you to choose! ”

When Bu Feng heard this, he didn't know how to answer, and after a long time, he said to his mother: "The child is busy with military affairs, and I am afraid that I will lead the army to go out this year, how can I have the leisure to take care of the marriage matter, I am afraid it will be inconvenient." ”

His mother was unhappy and said: "You go out on the expedition, and marriage is marriage, now let's make a matchmaker's words, and when you come back from the expedition, you can get married." If there is no delay between these two, what is the inconvenience? ”

Bu Feng didn't want to marry the daughter of the neighbor because of the flowing clouds, so he said to his mother: "The child is not prepared for a while, and let the child think about it before making a decision." ”

His mother said, "What do you have to wait for such a good thing?" This time there is a ten-day holiday, so I took advantage of this to settle it, and it was good to finish a major event in your father's and mother's hearts. "I must step up and agree.

Bu Feng had no choice but to tell the truth, saying that he had met a Gusu woman in Qiantang River two years ago, and had made a covenant with him to meet, and he couldn't live up to others' wishes.

When her mother heard this, she was also quite surprised, so she asked about Bufeng's woman's life experience.

Bu Feng was helpless, so he had to tell Liuyun's family background one by one, and said: "The child came back from leave this time to go to Gusu to visit Miss Liuyun." ”

His mother heard that the Liuyun family was a wealthy Gusu, and she was so shocked that she didn't say anything for a long time. After a long time, he still didn't believe it, and asked Bu Fengdao: "Is this Liuyun girl you said true?" How can such a good thing happen to our family in the world? ”

Bu Feng said: "Although the child is stupid, but the Liuyun girl is a strange woman in the world, the child sincerely admires in her heart, and now she also likes the child, so she let her handmaid send a jade pendant as a token." If the child doesn't visit her, I'm afraid that he will be scolded for not knowing how to lift. ”

His mother wanted to ask for the jade pendant, and Bufeng untied it and handed it to his mother to see, and his mother rubbed the jade pendant with both hands, looking at the mandarin duck playing in the water pattern on it, and muttered: "For my mother's life, I have never seen such a valuable item, I am afraid that the gold and silver jewelry must be valuable!" It's really a rich family. ”

Then he said to Bu Feng again: "Since that girl treats you like this, then my mother will not persuade you." Although she is a rich and noble family, you have become an official in the army today, and you will make contributions and become a general in the future, so you are naturally worthy of her. When your father wakes up, I will tell him this, and let him thank the daughter of the neighbor in a gentle manner. You go to Gusu to visit Miss Liuyun again! ”

When Bufeng heard this, he was overjoyed, so he thanked his mother for being reasonable. Bufeng's mother loved Liuyun's jade pendant very much, so she took it and looked at it for a night, and returned it to Bufeng the next day.

Bufeng's father heard that the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Gusu took a fancy to Bufeng, and couldn't help but be extremely happy, and said to his mother: "My son is not an ordinary person, and now he is an officer, so he naturally chooses a rich woman as a wife." He agreed with his mother that on the grounds that Bufeng was busy with military affairs, he temporarily shirked the matter of the neighbor's marriage.

The next day, after breakfast, Bufeng said goodbye to his parents, took a coil, went to the camp of the Yuhang Naval Division, and borrowed a military horse to use. Only generals and lieutenants can use it, and this step is a private matter, so it is not a loan, and you have to pay the rental fee every day.

Bufeng was ready to ride a horse to look at Gusu and go, he had never been there before, and he didn't know the path, so he had to ask people along the way. There are also three or four hundred miles from Gusu to Yuhang, but the road is not as plain as the Central Plains, so it takes two days to run.

Bufeng rode a horse for a day, and in the evening, it rained again, so he had to rest in the wild shop by the roadside, and then hurried when the rain stopped.

The next day, the rain was still falling, the road was muddy, the horses were unbearable, the wind saw this, the heart was bored, standing in front of the inn, just hoping that the rain would stop.

However, the rain still did not stop, the wind was helpless, looking up to the sky and sighing, suddenly out of the inn a person, about forty years old, wearing a coat, wearing a hat, wearing rain boots, but the dress was very luxurious, followed by two servants, both holding rain gear.

This man sighed when he saw Bufeng looking at the rain in front of the palace, so he came over and said: "The son sighs that it is difficult to walk in the rain, because he is afraid that he will miss something important!" ”

Bu Feng was slightly surprised when he heard this, so he turned his head to look at this person, and saw that it was an elderly man in his forties and an extraordinary bearing, so he hurriedly saluted and asked: "Thank you for asking, there is indeed something important in the next place, but because of the rain, it is difficult to walk for a while, and I am in trouble." ”

The man looked at Bufeng a few times, and then said with a smile: "Looking at the child's expression, full of expectations, and mixed joys and sorrows, there is a state of restlessness, I am afraid that he is thinking about it, and he wants to meet his sweetheart!" ”

Bu Feng couldn't help but ask, "How did the distinguished guest know what was going on?" ”

The man smiled and said, "The look on the child's face has already revealed his heart. A manly man must not show his joys and sorrows in order to achieve great things. Now I see that your heart is all on your face, so I asked, and it was so. ”

Bu Feng couldn't help but be in awe, and Xie Na said, "Domeng advises." Dare to ask who your guests are? ”

The man said: "My surname is Zhao, my name is slippery, I am a native of Chu, and I have come to Yue to do business and sell, and I want to go to Huiji." Today's road is too much, the road is raining, but you still have to hurry. If you want to meet the person you like, how can you stop because of the rain? If your sweetheart finds out, she will despise you in her heart. ”

Bufeng thanked again: "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your advice!" I'll go in the rain now. After that, I also asked the store to borrow rain gear, use silver money as collateral, and return it when I returned. So he rode away in the rain. Seeing this, Zhao Slip smiled slightly, and also took the two servants to go south in the rain.

The summoner of the slippery, the people of Chu also, their people have strategy and resourcefulness, the king of Chu Huai heard that he was virtuous, so he invited into the palace, awarded an official position, and wanted to reuse. Zhao Hua told King Chen of Chu Huai the strategy of attacking the Yue Kingdom. Huai Wang Xi, then from the plan of summoning the slip, the first to summon the slip to the Yue country to investigate, the summoning slip this time is on the order of the king of Chu, pretending to be a businessman to come to the Yue National Inspectorate to spy on intelligence, Bufeng was able to meet on the road by chance.
