Volume 2 The Heroes Rise Together Chapter 178 Zhongshan Zhenfu
The ballad says: "True or not, false or false; Alluring the city and the country is the Zhen family. ”
This ballad is known to the women and children of Zhongshan County. If you ask, they will enthusiastically sing it to you, and at the same time do not forget to explain to you that the key to the meaning of the song is the four words "alluring the country and the city". "Alluring the country and the city" sings about the beautiful faces of the Zhen family, regardless of men and women, the head of the family, Zhen Yi, is a handsome person, and he married a wife Zhang, who has a beautiful face. How beautiful is it? The people of Zhongshan County will pinch their fingers with ambiguous faces to help you calculate, since this Zhang family married into the Zhen family, he has given birth to a large number of children, counting the eldest son Zhen who died early, there are three boys and five girls. What does this mean? It shows that this Zhang family is really beautiful, and the beauty is so tempting that Zhen Yi can't hold it, and he has worked hard day and night to bear so many fruits. Pity this Zhen Yi, who worked so hard, his body couldn't bear it, he died early in his prime, leaving behind orphans and widows in his prime, and he was a miserable orphan and widow. Of course, he left a huge family business, this is the second meaning of "captivating the country and the city", half of this Zhongshan County is their Zhen family, shops, real estate, acres and so on countless, can tilt Zhongshan City, can rival half of the country.
As the sun set and the sunset shone, the group escorted the five Zhen sisters to Zhongshan County. Similarly, more than 1,000 iron horsemen were stationed outside the city, and Xun You and Shi Jin took dozens of generals to escort the carriage and look inside the city.
When they entered the city gate, the guards at the gate of Zhongshan County saw that it was a large group of people and hurriedly stopped them to ask.
"What are you stopping? …… Don't you see it's my Zhen family? ”
The second lady of the Zhen family, Zhen took off her willow eyebrows, rode forward, shook the horse whip in the soft heart, and shouted fiercely with the voice of the yellow bird.
Seeing that it was the daughter of the Zhen family, the city gate guard dared to ask again, so he hurriedly made way of the way and let everyone pass.
Xun You shook his head, secretly sighing in his heart the great power and status of the Zhen family.
Entering the city, everyone hurried all the way, and they couldn't see the lively scene all the way, but they came to a mansion. View this mansion, live in the center of the county town, directly occupy the whole street, brilliant style, the building is continuous, the gate is painted vermilion lacquer with the animal head ring, the two stone lions at the door stand majestically, many dismounted stones are neatly arranged on both sides, the plaque is hung in the middle of the door, and the four big characters of "Zhongshan Zhenfu" are written on it.
"Quick, quick...... Quickly go and report to my brother, just say that Uncle Xun Xun of Yingchuan is visiting, and quickly open the middle door to greet ......" Zhen Tuo did not enter the door directly, and shouted at the porter servant.
"Uncle Xun Shi, Brother Shi Jin...... We...... Let's wait a while, don't go straight in...... Hum...... Let my brother pick up ......" Zhen took off his beautiful eyes, looking forward to Xun You, Shi Jin and others.
In less than half a pillar of incense, the door of Huanghuang was suddenly opened, and a group of people hurried out of the house, and the first person was a handsome Confucian student. Guan Na Confucian Sheng, about 20 years old, is like a jade tree, sideburns like a knife, eyebrows like ink paintings, wearing a light blue brocade robe, and is handsome and charming.
"Brother is here......" Zhen Tuo said with a smile to Xun You.
"Uncle Xun Shi...... I have seen Uncle Xun Shi...... "That Confucian is the eldest brother of the Zhen family, Zhen Yan, strictly speaking, the second brother, he stepped out of the tall threshold, and on the other hand, he watched with keen eyes, and saw Xun Yu sitting upright and on the horse.
Xun Yu hurriedly dismounted, and Shi Jin and all the soldiers in the back also hurriedly got off the horse.
Zhen Yan bent down and said with a smile: "I've seen Uncle Xun Shi." Uncle Shi's visit to my Zhongshan made my Zhen family shine......"
Xun You also returned the salute and said with a smile: "Haha, Pengyu...... Virtuous nephew, if you say that your Zhongshan Zhen family is Pengshu, then there are few families in the world that are high-level......"
Zhen Yan laughed: "Uncle Shi, look at you kidding...... I haven't seen you for a few years, but I'm getting more and more energetic, but I'm having a good time......"
Xun Yu stroked his beard and smiled, just about to speak back.
On the side, the crisp yellow bird called: "Brother, Uncle Xun Shi is now the military advisor under the guard seat of Dongping County, Yanzhou, but there are thousands of guards, and they are all stationed outside the city...... Of course it's very ......."
"Oh...... Uncle Shi, it's really amazing...... Please come into the mansion to speak......" Zhen Yan arched his hand to speak, and then immediately turned his head and asked, "Tuo'er, how are you with Uncle Shi?" ……”
"It was Uncle Shi who saved the five of us...... Zhen Tuo said.
"Oh...... What's going on? …… Hurry up, do you sisters have something to ......do" Zhen Yan's face was shocked, she looked at Zhen Tuo anxiously, and also looked at the carriage behind, and the eldest sister Zhen Jiang helped her three younger sisters just get out of the carriage.
"It's okay, I'm going to have nothing to do...... Brother, it's not too late to enter the mansion, it's ......just not good to be outside the mansion like this," Zhen Jiang said softly while holding his three younger sisters.
"Yes, yes...... Uncle Shi...... Entering the house...... I have arranged for the servants to prepare a banquet and wash the dust for Uncle Shi in the main hall......" Zhen Yan woke up and hurriedly said to Xun You.
"So, it's hard work...... Please ...... "Xun Yu returns the favor."
Everyone entered the Zhen Mansion, walked slowly, only to see the good wood and green onions, the strange flowers flickered, the flying buildings on both sides were inserted into the air, the carved and embroidered thresholds were all hidden between the mountain cols and trees, and then walked hundreds of steps, the party turned a shadow on the wall, the two sides are the verandahs of the copying hands, among them is the main house compound, the front five upper rooms, all are carved beams and painted buildings, beautiful.
"Please...... Please sit down with Uncle Shi's head......" Zhen Yan stood at the door of the main hall and stretched out his hand to Xun You.
"Please...... Virtuous nephew ......" Xun You smiled.
At that moment, the banquet was arranged, and everyone knelt and sat down. Zhen Yan sat on the main seat, Xun You sat opposite each other, Shi Jin sat on one side, the eldest sister Zhen Jiang and the second sister Zhen Tuo sat on the other side, and the third sister, fourth sister, and younger sister Zhen Mi sat around the next seat.
Zhen Yan said apologetically: "Uncle Shi, my family is not prosperous, and the sisters in the family are also showing up with me, today's family banquet, and she is allowed to wait for the banquet...... Shame shame shame ......"
Xun You smiled and said, "That's very good...... You and I have a family friendship, so we should be like this......"
Zhen Yan was relieved and said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Shi for your understanding, and thank you Uncle Shi for saving my sister's life......" He turned around and asked Zhen Jiang and Zhen Tuo, the two sisters under the seat, "You can talk about the situation now, right......?"
"Yes...... Brother ...... "Zhen blurted out quickly, chattering, Huang Li shouted, and told in detail about the encounter with bandits in the mountains the day before yesterday, and he was almost robbed and humiliated...... Zhen Tuo has good storytelling skills, and he told this encounter with twists and turns, full of dangers, and climaxes, which made his brother and the servants turn pale and sweat, and said that Xun You and Zhen Jiang shook their heads and covered their mouths and smiled.
"That's it, it was Uncle Shi's side that General Shi Jin's martial arts were strong, he showed his might, and he was able to save his son after a fight, as well as his sister and sister...... Yes, Sister ...... "Zhen Tuo screamed endlessly, not forgetting to look for confirmation from the eldest sister Zhen Jiang, and not forgetting the beautiful eyes Gu Pan was stunned by her on the spot and was stunned by her on the spot.
"Yes, that's it......" Zhen Jiang covered his mouth and smiled, soft and compliant with his sister.
