Chapter 16: Major Events (Part II)
The weather is hot, the cicadas are chirping, and there are no clouds, only hot winds, which is really unbearable.
In the city of Yanmen County Zhiyin Pavilion, a group of people who had just come out of the county government gathered directly to the flag pavilion in the city, this group of people hugged each other, and the servants were in groups, and for a while the ordinary civilians who were originally enjoying the cool here fled to avoid it.
Then, soon some of the servants bought some fresh fruits and vegetables for their masters from the market downstairs, and soaked them in cold water from a deep well, and then served them to the second floor.
However, these summer delicacies, which are extremely luxurious in the eyes of the common people, have not moved lightly, and the people on the second floor of the entire flag pavilion are all like wood carvings, looking at the corner at the end of the market with solemn expressions, waiting for the appearance of the person who meets them.
"It's really made a few people wait for a long time!" A young man dressed as a clerk sweated profusely on the second floor, and after a general salute, he quickly sat down next to a few cases, and took out a large white pear from the water urn in front of him, and gnawed it without a gesture.
The people around naturally have nothing to say, how can there be so many rules when the weather is so hot?
And when the young man who served as a subordinate official in the county gnawed on the second big white pear, an elder asked, "Dare to ask the virtuous nephew, why didn't the rest of the county friends come?" Could it be that we were in the county just now, and our message was not delivered? β
"Uncle Shi is invited." The subordinate wiped his mouth and hurriedly replied. "It's not that it hasn't been delivered, it's that they don't dare to come, they don't want to come...... It's me, if it weren't for Uncle Shi's presence here, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come. β
"So......" the elder asked in a low voice, frowning. Did Fu Jun make up his mind this time? β
"Yes!" The subordinate officials of Tocao replied very simply.
When the people around heard this, their expressions immediately became different.
"Then dare to ask the virtuous nephew again, to what extent is the determination of the prince?" The old man's heart sank, and he couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Uncle Shi." The subordinate threw down the second pear pit, cleared his hand in the urn, and then arched his hand. "Our Sun and Zheng families have been friends for many years, and I only have one word to say to you...... Don't take a chance and bury your Zheng family's century-old foundation in Wuzhou! Uncle Shi knows that none of the big families in the county government should not donate food! β
The elder surnamed Zheng sighed: "In other words, is the prince of the mansion going to be a cool official?" But such an act, even if we have to respond to it because of the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, isn't he afraid that he will lose his reputation and cause some damage to their Taiyuan Guo family's family background halfway? β
"Fu Jun is also a little helpless in this matter." This subordinate surnamed Sun couldn't help frowning. "Uncle Shi, after this military disaster, the entire Yanmen is in a mess, so the Xiongnu Shan Yu is still carefully recuperating in the Zhuangzi outside the city...... As the governor of a county, he can't sit idly by, right?! β
"Didn't you hear of it...... Uh, didn't I hear that Fujun went to Pingcheng to borrow military rations? "Suddenly, another middle-aged rich man couldn't help but lean over and ask, and took the initiative to take out a big white pear from the urn and serve it to this grandson's subordinate official, and his posture was extremely low." Dare to ask Vice History Sun, if this is the case, why do we need to wait for food? And how much more? Our small family in Juyang Feng family actually needs one hundred and fifty stones?! β
"Brother Feng, you're asking the point!" This Sun Vice Shi took the pear and took a bite, but he couldn't help but sigh. "The problem lies in this military rations!"
Subsequently, this Hu Cao subordinate official was very colorful, and how Zang Min, the general of the defeated army, was unwilling to take responsibility, and only sealed the military grain for future generations; And how did Guo Taishou wait in Pingcheng for the new Sima of the other department, and then wait for the other party to come and ask for food; And how shrewd was that Sima, who saw through at a glance that Zang Min and Guo Taishou bullied him and made him responsible, and then how he was unreasonable, just saying that if he gave a stone of grain, he would also have a stone of grain in the county......
In short, after such a wonderful deed was told, the heroes and powerhouses of the marginal counties in these counties were dumbfounded.
"I won't hide it from you!" This Cao subordinate official sighed helplessly there with a large jujube in his hand. "Now the entire northern part of Yanmen County is full of bandits and routs, and the county can only rely on this other division Sima who has a strong army to suppress the bandits. And this Sima is not from a wild road, and when he heard other colleagues in the county talk about this person, they are all secretive...... As you know, I just came back from a study tour in Taiyuan for a few months, and then I was recruited by Guo Fujun, and I am not very clear about this matter...... But in short, Guo Fujun wanted to rectify the situation anyway, so he had no choice but to respond to him. But now that the county treasury is indeed extremely empty, then I have to find a large household in the army to provide food to match Na Sima's military rations! β
"This other Sima is not the grandson of the surname?" The old man was thoughtful, and then suddenly a spirit stirred.
"It seems that this is the case, Uncle Shi doesn't know this person?" The subordinate surnamed Sun couldn't help but be curious while eating dates.
"Of course I know this person." The old man surnamed Zheng immediately got up and said. "And I finally know why you're the only one here...... You go back to business quickly, don't delay the future, I already know how powerful this matter is, just a few hundred stones of grain, and it will be served immediately! β
"The three-way army is defeated!" At this moment, the fat man surnamed Feng, who handed the pear to Sun just now, suddenly stood up, and raised his arms and shouted, shocking everyone on the flag tower. "Northern Xinjiang is empty, the county is swaying, the people are displaced, and the soldiers and bandits are rampant in the township, at this time, it should be the crown clan in my township to serve the country, and now Guo Fujun and Gongsun Sima Zhi are rectifying, and they are willing to give relief, so they don't want to do their best for the country and the king, but instead push left and right here for a few hundred stones of corn, what is the reason? ! Forgive me Feng for being ashamed to be with you! Leave! β
After that, this Feng fat man picked up the urn of vegetables and fruits brought by his slave again, and went downstairs with his head held high, so angry that the rest of the people looked at him angrily.
"Ahem! Ahem! And at this moment, the subordinate of Sun suddenly turned red and coughed violently.
Everyone suddenly woke up, and hurriedly stepped forward and slapped with their hands and feet, which slapped the jujube in the other party's throat.
And the subordinate officials who drank their own hand washing water and breathed a sigh of relief didn't have time to think about it, but just dragged their Uncle Shi surnamed Zheng to death, as if his heart was as weak as a dog: "Uncle Shi...... It's better to give advice or two! β
"Virtuous nephew!" The old man surnamed Zheng was also ashamed. "Actually, if you think about it carefully, I'm already a drag on you this time...... When I go back, I will take the initiative to resign from the position of deputy historian of this household in the name of studying abroad, otherwise those high-ranking officials in the county will not be able to spare you. β
"What does that mean?" Sun's subordinates became more and more frightened.
Without waiting for the old man surnamed Zheng to reply, a middle-aged man next to him couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Xian, you don't know who this Gongsun Sima is...... That alone will tell you that you are being ostracized in the county. β
"A Sima who is more than a thousand stones, no matter how strong he is, can he be bigger than a county guard of two thousand stones?" Sun was frightened and couldn't help but get up and ask.
"Hey!" The man shook his head repeatedly. "I'm not saying how strong this Gongsun Sima is...... In fact, in my opinion, if Guo Fujun wants to do something alone, then there is an opportunity, and if Gongsun Sima wants to do something alone, he can also think of ways to deal with it...... The inexplicable part of this matter is that these two people have joined forces! β
"Not bad!" The old man surnamed Zheng couldn't help but turn around when he heard this, then stroked his beard in the wind, and sighed again. "Then I think that Guo Fujun is above and below, dignified and upright, and the so-called name is right; And the grandson Sima stood sideways and watched, hiding his blade in his arms, the so-called sharp is unstoppable; Not to mention, one of these two people is a famous family in the state, and it is deep-rooted; One is the line of dignitaries in the DPRK, which is unfathomable...... In this way, the two of them join forces, but anyone with some eyesight should know that this wild goose gate is in one place, up and down, left and right, and there is no room for others to interject! β
"I see." Sun suddenly woke up. "Although I still don't know who this Gongsun Sima is, according to what Uncle Shi said, you sigh, this matter is actually not a blessing! And under such circumstances, all the dignitaries in the county government have obviously made their families succumb, but none of them reminded the wealthy families in the marginal counties that they seem to have bad intentions! And I accidentally mixed up their good deeds...... Can you go back and go around me? Thank you Uncle Shi for mentioning it, I will go to the book to resign, and then go back to Taiyuan to study! β
"It's also that I missed the future of Vice Shi Sun!"
"If it weren't for the good nephew to report it, we would almost have suffered bad luck."
"In the future, when the virtuous nephew returns to the county, there will be retribution!" For a while, everyone upstairs made promises.
Just when there was harmony in the Yin Pavilion Flag Pavilion, at the same time, in Pingcheng, two hundred miles away, Gongsun Xun, who was called unstoppable, was also dressed in civilian clothes, helping his wife to screen local fruits.
The mother and son sat on a horse in the shade of a tree in the courtyard, and in front of them were several urns of cold water filled with local fruits, and there was no need for servants to serve them.
"Mother tastes this." Gongsun Xun picked out a small red fruit from the water urn and handed it over.
"Too sour!" Aunt Gongsun took a bite, and tears came out. "Why do apples smell like this this year? I don't know how many years it will take to pick the big apple that came later...... No, hurry up and give me a pear slowly! β
Gongsun Xun immediately took out a big white pear and handed it over.
"Not to mention anything else, the dates and pears in Shanxi are still very safe." Aunt Gongsun gnawed down a few bites, and then she eased up. "And in the summer, it's still the best pear!"
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.
"What does that mean?" Aunt Gongsun squinted at her only son and asked. "Am I not right?"
"It's not wrong." Gongsun Xun sighed. "For us, this pear is naturally better than the jujube, but for the people of this Pingcheng, the jujube is far better than the pear at this time...... The dates are hungry and stored, and the people who lack food at home are now looking for wild dates all over the mountains, and although the pears are big and watery, they can't be put into the autumn to make food. β
"You made me feel guilty for eating a pear!" Aunt Gongsun said helplessly. "Why do you want to do this at this time, is it useful?"
"It's my son who talks a lot." Gongsun Xun hurriedly shook his head and smiled. "I've already joined forces with that Guo Taishou to collect grain, and I'll talk about this matter when there is news...... Mother should be out of Liaoxi for the first time, right? How did you feel along the way? β
"Feeling...... Fortunately, my son has grown up! "Aunt Gongsun threw down the pear core and took the paper herself to wipe her hands." If it weren't for your achievements, I, a woman, would be able to get out of Liaoxi? Do you know, this time, the trade routes of Shanggu, Daijun, and Yanmen have also been completely opened! β
"Mother's departure, it will naturally come naturally!" Gongsun Xun hurriedly bowed his head and complimented.
"Where is my sake?" Aunt Gongsun tried to throw the paper ball at the courtyard gate, but unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew and directly swept the paper ball away, so she had no choice but to look at the sky. "This time you were able to open up this northern Xinjiang trade route, mainly because you burned Danhan Mountain...... Do you know, Danhan Mountain has been burned down by you! β
"It's just a coincidence." Gongsun Xun bowed his head and replied. "My mother told me that it was just a mudslide."
"No matter what, you are in the limelight this time, and the fame of the northern Xinjiang can be called famous, and it is not fake that the powerful clans of these three counties are willing to give you face at this time...... When you get married in a few days, let's invite all the powerful families of Yanmen over, and I want to make them all the downlines of the Amway!. β
Gongsun Xun pursed his lips and was speechless.
"But you're also thrilling." After saying this matter of course, Aunt Gongsun said something casually. "Do you know that Mo Huqi escaped from Xianbei? Then I knew what kind of character the sandalwood acacia was, and after the victory of the three roads, he did not come to Koubian to rob, but went to the east to help the eastern Xianbei capture fishing slaves, and taught the group of savages in the northeast Xianbei how to fish...... How do you look at this kind of character, how does it look like a template for a generation of Tianjiao, and after 20 years with him, I'm afraid that he really wants to lead troops south to the Central Plains and achieve a career? β
When Gongsun Xun heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "In that case, why did my mother insist in her reply that day that Xianbei was not enough to worry about?" β
"Because I looked for Mo Huqi and inquired again, I figured it out." Aunt Gongsun smiled dryly when she heard this. "This person is already forty years old, and he lives in a place on the grassland where he can only dance when he is sick, and I am afraid that he will not live long...... The overall situation of Xianbei is still fine. β
Gongsun Xun sighed when he heard this, and he didn't know whether to sigh at the old age of this sandalwood acacia, or at the heroic temperament of this Xianbei Khan.
"But when it comes to what I've seen on the road, I'm about to ask you about it!" Aunt Gongsun asked again. "Frustrated Yang, why do you use low-level turbid wine to wash the wounds of the wounded, why do I think it's easier to get infected with this thing?"
Gongsun Xun was immediately stunned when he heard this, and then asked again: "Didn't you teach me to use wine to 'disinfect' my mother?" β
Aunt Gongsun was also stunned, but immediately corrected: "That's a high spirit...... It's the kind of 'three bowls can't be posted'! β
Gongsun Xun spread his hands speechlessly: "Then what should I do?" At that time, the whole army was quite grateful, saying that I used such a valuable thing to heal their wounds......"
"Then let's not take it as an example!" Aunt Gongsun replied quietly. "What else?"
The mother and son were immediately silent.
After a long time, it was Gongsun Xun who took the lead in speaking and took the initiative to ask another thing: "How did my mother persuade my father-in-law to let me go?" Then Zhao Yun's little lady followed her mother, you came here alone to marry me, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't conform to the etiquette law, right? β
"Where did I convince me?" Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but shake her head. "It's your father-in-law's wife, Mrs. Zhao, who strongly advocated it. That day, I just heard the news that you didn't return after the defeat of the army, and they directly sent their granddaughter from Yangle to our house in Lingzhi, and later learned that after you came back from injury, they urged me to send people directly to Yanmen, so that you can get married as soon as possible...... This happened to be in line with my heart, and I really couldn't help but want to see you, so I brought her to look for you! β
Gongsun Xun became more and more speechless, and the mother and son fell into that strange silence that recurred.
But this time, it was Aunt Gongsun who couldn't bear it at first, and picked up the topic that the mother and son had interrupted several times: "Xun'er...... Wen Qi, I really don't blame you this time, but I didn't think it through and let you stray! β
"It's none of my mother's business." The topic finally opened, and Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sit upright. "In the world, where can everything you want come true? Besides, the mother's guidance is correct after all...... It's just that now it seems that no matter how right the direction is, if you want to go through, you will inevitably have some twists and turns. β
"I kind of see what you mean." Aunt Gongsun said while looking at her only son seriously. "You have been crowned as an adult, you always have your own thoughts, your own henchmen, your own things you want to do, and your own path to go...... That's all right! It's just that I, who is a mother, still hope that you can remember the tragedy of the world in the future, and then remember that sentence! β
"Try to reach the princes, in order to save your life in troubled times......" Gongsun Xun suddenly smiled. I know if Liaoxi is sitting and watching the success or failure. β
"That's good." Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then directly ended this topic that made both mother and son extremely difficult. "By the way, you said before that Gao Shun was in your army? And then you also got a 'Xiang Yu's Broken Blade' from Dong Zhuo? See ...... with me."

"At the end of the Later Han Dynasty, there was the Feng family, a wealthy family in Yanmen, who was fat and stingy, tried to walk, although the grain of rice was also bent over the waist to take; Socialize with people, feast and drink, although the rich family has never been the east...... His deeds are like this, so he is despised by the villagers, and his people are free. And the war is connected, the war is very urgent, the green seedlings of Yanmen are bad, the autumn harvest is hopeless, too shou Gufa County Hao right to offer food relief, Hao right more greedy, is gathered on the flag pavilion upstairs, discuss to resist Taishou, to Feng family Hao, also invited. In the middle of the summer, everyone took vegetables and fruits to the pavilion, and Feng also hugged an urn upstairs, and everyone was surprised. The general said, Feng's sudden shooting of the case, and the crowd said: 'The township is in trouble, the people are hungry, they are all looking for mountains and jujubes to fill the grain, you and others are the right in the county, and they don't think about serving the country with grain, but want to harm the country? Although I despise it, I don't want to be with you! Everyone was stunned, and Feng Shi replied to the urn and said: "The gentleman said that I am stingy, I have not tried to do the east, and now there are a number of things, all of which are selected by a certain hand, and I am willing to end with you, and I will not owe each other from now on!" 'After speaking, he threw the urn on the pillar, the urn broke, and the wild dates rolled down all over the building! Feng Shi Nai flicked his sleeves and returned proudly and offered food to the county. The proud right is ashamed, and the regain of its virtue is all competing for food. β"Shilin Miscellaneous".
