Chapter 362: Big Hat
Lu Lan took a nap for a while, then went to the next door to call her third aunt, and in the afternoon, she had to go to the courtyard where the wounded soldiers were raised.
The door was hidden, and Lu Lan was also a woman, so naturally she didn't push the door in without seeing it. But I saw a white-haired woman sitting alone in front of the window chanting a word, who was not her third aunt? "Third aunt......" Lu Lan called carefully.
I heard Grandma Bai choked up there: "Why? I took care of him every day, served him, gave birth to his son, and I did everything in the house, inside and out...... He said that he would go to the mountains to clean up and work hard, and I made food for him three times a day, rain or shine...... Am I treating him badly, what did I do wrong? Why didn't he even have any nostalgia......"
Lu Lan was very flustered when she heard this, stepped forward and hugged Bai Mada's waist sympathetically, and persuaded her with good words: "The third aunt didn't do anything wrong, she just blames the man for not being a thing." You let go of those things, we can live without relying on those ungrateful. ”
Grandma Bai shook her head vigorously, and tears slid down: "It's me who is not good, Lan'er is right." I am not old and decrepit, and if my body is not dying, he will not dislike me......"
"I joked with my third aunt at noon, don't forget to go in your heart." Lu Lan frowned and said, "So the third aunt should be kind to herself, and don't treat herself like that." If you don't rest on your body, how can there be anyone in the world who treasures you no matter what you look like? ”
Grandma Bai's condition was not good, so Lu Lan had to go to the courtyard of the wounded soldiers by herself and arrange the dosage of the boiled decoction.
In the evening, the elders of the Bai family came and asked Bai to go to the restaurant on the front street of the county early tomorrow morning to see the elders and villagers of various families in Wushan County.
……
That matter was arranged by Guo Shao. Early the next morning, he opened his eyes and thought about the recent affairs, and then remembered the matter of seeing Wushan Baima. As usual, Guo Shao got up first to wash and dress, and when he walked out of the door and saw Lu Chengyong, the pro-soldier team, he asked, "Dong Zunzhi has news back?" ”
Lu Chengyong replied: "If you go back to the lord's words, no." ”
Guo Shao asked again: "The people who went to explore the other ways of Chijia Mountain, have any news come back?" Lu Chengyong said: "No." ”
Guo Shao pondered for a moment: "It's only been two days, maybe I'm too anxious." But living in this place is very uncertain, and I am really panicking. ”
After breakfast, Zuo You came to remind Guo Shao to take people out of the county office, and a restaurant on Front Street met people from Wushan County. The restaurant is full of soldiers inside and outside, and the place has been cleared. Some old men entered the restaurant one after another, and some people in their seventies and eighties had to be supported to walk...... This person doesn't seem to be able to do anything, but in fact, he is quite powerful in the local area. Because of seniority, fame, and even the government has to consider their wishes.
Guo Shao arrived in the hall and exchanged pleasantries with a group of old men. The county magistrate and several township elders introduced their names one by one, Guo Shao made an interested look, and politely said that he would meet and get to know them...... In fact, he couldn't remember anyone, and he didn't have any interest, and he had almost no topic with the old men, and he talked nonsense; But the attitude is still very good.
After a while, I saw that the little lady with a covered face and Wushan Bai Grandma also came, Guo Shao saluted and said: "I am fortunate to see the famous Wushan Holy Hand in this county, and I am very honored." ”
Wushan Bai Mu bent his knees and made a blessing: "The grass people visited Guo Dashuai, the grass people have been unwell in the past two days, and they are a little late, so please forgive me." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Guo Shao smiled, "As long as you appreciate your face, it will be very face-saving." ”
A group of people sat down at the square table in the hall, and a middle-aged man spoke: "The Great Zhou army came to Wushan County in the autumn without committing any crimes, and our county Shishu felt that Guo Dashuai was benevolent and righteous, and prepared some thin wine to reward the army two days ago, but the feeling was still not enough. He turned his head to look at the old man who was sitting at the top of the table with all white hair, "What does Grandpa Li mean, the people of our townships will get together again and prepare some food and salary for Zhou Jun......"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Guo Shao hurriedly said, "Everyone, all the elders of Wushan County, you may have a little misunderstanding. Ben is not here to blackmail today...... That fundraiser. ”
Everyone looked at Guo Shao, and the person who spoke stopped for a while.
Guo Shao continued: "Wushan County is such a big place, and it is not a particularly rich place, what is the use of a county's resources for more than 20,000 elite soldiers, if I knock on the bone and suck the marrow again, it will be too much, isn't it?" Our food and salaries can be transported from the Yangtze River for the time being, and there is no shortage of food. ”
After hearing this, everyone praised General Guo's benevolence and righteousness. The middle-aged man who had just spoken asked, "Then General Guo ...... today?"
Guo Shao said kindly: "I have a good friend, who is Wang Pu, the privy envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is a privy envoy and a cardinal minister, and he has room to speak regardless of the country's military policy. Wang Pu believes that the tax system of the current Zhou Dynasty is too heavy, and after the unification of Shu in the future, if the Great Zhou national policy is copied in the place of 'recovery', it may make the Shu people feel that the burden is too heavy, and advocates sympathy for the people of Shu......"
After hearing this, the gentry and village elders praised it again, and they did not hesitate to speak well of Wang Pu.
Guo Shaodao: "In the Great Zhou court, not everyone has the same idea as Wang Pu. You should understand that when we founded the Central Plains, we not only have to clean up the broken mountains and rivers, but also have to face the nomadic iron cavalry in the north and bear the defense line in the north, which is very costly...... Only Wang Pu has a long-term view.
Now Wang Pu is seriously ill and the treatment is ineffective. If there is no divine doctor to help, I am afraid ......"
The oldest "grandfather" spoke: "Isn't Wushan Bai Mu the most brilliant saint in this county? Why don't you let her go and heal the king's envoy? ”
When Guo Shao heard this, he was exactly what he wanted, and immediately said: "I am asking for help from the Holy Hand of Wushan today, just because Wang Pu is thousands of miles away from Tokyo, and he is seriously ill and can't withstand the bumps of the carriage and horse, so I want to ask the Holy Hand of Wushan to take a trip." If Wang Pu's illness can be cured in the future, there will be a recompense...... Of course, what is more important is the long-term plan, if Wang Pu can recover, it will be of great benefit to the people of Wushan and even the entire Shu land in the future; Wang Pu's proposition was beneficial to the people of Shu. ”
At this moment, suddenly the little lady said sharply: "Guo Dashuai is really a good means!" The reason for such a big battle is to force us to go to Tokyo, which is thousands of miles away. Your hat is so buttoned so big, if the third aunt doesn't go, it will be a sorry for the people of the entire Shu Kingdom, who can afford it? She said angrily, "The third aunt is like this, you still have to persecute her and use her!" You men ......"
Guo Shao was confused, it was really hard to go to Tokyo to save people, but he didn't let her work in vain, saying that it was too much to use. Although he is suspected of persecution, what he says is not a deception, and Wang Pu's proposition in the letter is almost the same meaning...... If, according to the political and political ideas of most of the people in the political affairs hall, the main thing is to plunder the resources of the Shu State, you people, who have been peaceful for decades, can withstand the practices of the Zhou Dynasty at once?
At this time, "Grandpa Tai" poked on the ground with a cane and said angrily: "Whose little lady? No big, no small, no rules! Lost all the etiquette of our Wushan people. Guo Dashuai is reasonable, but he just asked the Bai family to go out and go for treatment, and he can't tell which is big or small! ”
An old man said: "The grandfather of the Li family is angry, and he blames the younger generation for being unable to control him." ”
"Grandpa Tai" spoke: "If Wushan Bai Grandma doesn't go, it will trap my entire Wushan people in injustice, and I will have no face to face the people in Shu in the future!" ”
"Go, the juniors have tied her up, and they have to let her see the disease." The gray-haired old man called himself a junior.
At this moment, the little lady spoke again: "If you want to tie me, tie me up." The real Wushan Bai Grandma is me, not the third aunt. If you don't believe a few people from the Bai family, the world mistakenly thinks it's my third aunt, but because her hair is white, it's a lie. ”
Guo Shao looked at the little lady after hearing this, and couldn't see what she looked like with her face covered...... She couldn't see clearly, her face was swollen. He was suddenly puzzled, and blurted out: "You are so young, will you be the Holy Hand of Wushan?" ”
"I don't believe you ask the Bai family." The little lady said, "Don't look at people by their age. ”
Sure enough, someone came out to prove that the person who played the reputation of "Wushan White Grandma" and "Wushan Holy Hand" was this Lu Xiaoniang.
Grandma Bai, who was called the third aunt, suddenly asked, "Guo Dashuai is going to Chengdu?" ”
Guo Shaozheng couldn't figure out who was who, so he replied: "Of course I want to go to Chengdu, my Great Zhou army will attack Shu in two ways, the purpose is to destroy the Meng Chang regime and unify it into one country." ”
Grandma Bai hurriedly said: "You take me to Chengdu, Lan'er and I will go to Tokyo to treat your friends." ”
"True?" Guo Shao asked.
Grandma Bai said: "You asked me to go to Chengdu to find my husband, and I am willing to help you with anything." ”
Guo Shao probably understood what was going on when he heard it, and immediately said, "Deal...... Good! Knowing this, what am I still bothering you fellow villagers to do? He clenched his fists and said to the people around him: "My friend Wang Pu is really a rare talent, and he is also a benevolent and righteous gentleman who cares about the people. ”
Guo Shao is dealing with one thing, and he won't stay long after it has been done, and it is also an uninteresting occasion. Unexpectedly, Grandma Bai followed with all her strength, and she didn't leave after him...... Previously, Guo Shao was afraid that it would be difficult to find her, so he sent his own soldiers to watch; It's good now, she took the initiative to follow.
Walking out of the restaurant, Guo Shao persuaded: "We have to attack the city all the way to Chengdu, I don't know how long it will take, the white sage will help me treat the wounded soldiers first, and I will send someone to call you when I want to go." ”
Grandma Bai said: "Do you really want to help me find a husband?" ”
Guo Shao said: "The eldest husband is hard to chase after him, and I will do my best...... Otherwise, I'll send you to Tokyo for treatment first; Wait for me to take Chengdu and take your husband back to Tokyo and send it to you? It is said that he was admitted to the Jinshi of Shu and is working as an official? Then you'll be able to find it, as long as you give me your name. ”
Grandma Bai shook her head and said: "I don't believe anyone, I don't see my husband, don't blame me and Lan'er for not treating your friends, you can ask for another master." ”
"This ......" Guo Shao touched the back of his head, "Actually, even if you find him, what's the use?"
