Chapter 835: Chinese New Year
The New Year is approaching, but the Zhen family does not have a trace of the atmosphere of the New Year, the whole house is gloomy, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow......
Zhen Yu, who was in a panic all day, heard a few whistles outside the house early this morning, and soon after someone came to play, he asked a little, and then hurried to his mother's room. Before he entered the door, he shouted excitedly: "Mother, good news, great news!" ”
The elegantly decorated house was spotless as usual, and only Zhen Jiang accompanied the old man at this time.
The unorthodox performance of the eldest son made Mrs. Zhen frown frequently, but Zhen Jiang was worried about Liu Lan all the time because of his heart, and anxiety was always written on his face.
Worried, she watched her eldest brother walk into the room with a spring breeze on his face, but heard her mother say dissatisfiedly: "Good news? He sighed slightly in his heart, what good news could the Zhen family have at this time!
"Good news, good news."
Zhen Yu was a little incoherent and said, "The county soldiers outside the mansion have all withdrawn. ”
"Really?"
Mrs. Zhen said in disbelief: "So...... ...... so."
Zhen Yu interrupted Mrs. Zhen, took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Yes, it was Gongsun Chan who won!" Moreover, the subordinate went out to inquire just now, and now the news of Yuan Shao's defeat is spreading everywhere. ”
Hearing such news from the mouth of the eldest brother, Zhen Jiang was like being in a dream, and muttered: "I knew it, I knew that Deran would definitely win." She finally showed a smile that had been rare for many days, and she immediately compared the proud snow and cold plums in winter.
Zhen Yu couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and said: "I heard that this battle between the two sides is thrilling and abnormal, although Gongsun Chan has not completely defeated Yuan Shao. But he still forced Yuan Shao to cede the entire Hejian Kingdom to him! ”
"Actually gave up the Hejian Kingdom to Gongsun Zhan?"
Mrs. Zhen couldn't resist the shock in her heart, and said with emotion: "It seems that I am really old." It's useless. Shaking his head imperceptibly, he looked at his brother and sister. sighed again and again: "Even these eyes are useless." ”
"Mother, what do you say?" Zhen Jiang said with an intoxicating smile on his face and the crook of the old lady's arm.
"I'm just telling the truth." Mrs. Zhen looked at the two of them, smiled, and said, "Fortunately, the eyes of the two of you are not blinded like the old woman." He looked at Zhen Yu again, and said earnestly: "This home is handed over to you, and I can put a hundred hearts." ”
"Mother's ......" Zhen Yu was excited, but his face was serious: "The child will definitely live up to his mother's high expectations." ”
Mrs. Zhen nodded slightly, and finally admitted that her son had become the pillar of the Zhen family and could support the family. Just when she was feeling a lot, she listened to the eldest daughter on the side who was coquettish, and said, "Mother, ......"
Seeing that her daughter was coquettish and ashamed, Mrs. Zhen tapped her forehead with her fingers and laughed: "It's so big, how can you still look like this." ”
"A daughter will always be a good daughter of her mother."
Zhen Jiang spit out his clove tongue mischievously, and then pursed his lips again, with a pleading expression of five hundred pitiful, and said, "Mother, can you lower your requirements for Deran." You're too demanding. ”
"How?"
Mrs. Zhen's tail tone was long, and when she looked at her daughter's increasingly ugly face, she suddenly burst out laughing and teased: "This is not an adult yet." This elbow is facing outsiders? ”
"What the hell!"
Zhen Jiang coquettishly said again: "My daughter will always be a good daughter of her mother, how can she be to outsiders!" ”
Mrs. Zhen covered her mouth and chuckled, and suddenly her face turned grim. "If he can't even do this, how can I trust you to him!" ”
"Mother's ......"
Zhen Jiang once again sacrificed the coquettish offensive. It's just that he can't change Mrs. Zhen's determination, and he has no choice but to look at his eldest brother Zhen Yu for help. Pleading: "Big brother ......"
"I'm not ashamed ......"
Mrs. Zhen said angrily: "Look at what you look like, how can there be a girl......
Seeing that his mother was angry, Zhen Yu hurriedly relieved his sister and persuaded: "Mother, the child doesn't know whether to say it or not!" ”
Mrs. Zhen looked at Zhen Yu, her brows had already been twisted into Chuanzixing, and she said unhappily: "Do you also want to do something for him?" ”
"The child didn't mean that."
Zhen Yu laughed and said, "The child just wants to say that the child is the same as before, and he believes in Liu Lan!" ”
"Oh?"
Mrs. Zhen knew that the eldest son was selling with her again, so she stared at him for a long time, but she didn't see him say anything, and asked, "Why don't you continue to talk about it?" ”
Zhen Yu, who was amnesty, hurriedly said: "The child thinks that Liu Lan is not a thing in the pool, and at this time he is like the carp of the Yellow River, and sooner or later there will be a fish jumping over the dragon gate, so the child thinks that Jiang Er's marriage with him should be sooner rather than later."
"Do you really think so?"
"Yes, Mother."
"Eldest brother is like a father, since you say so, I will no longer stop it, but this matter of a man marrying a woman can't let our woman go to the pole, right?"
"This child has his own measure, and the mother can rest assured."
Mother was persuaded by her brother in just a few words, Zhen Jiang couldn't believe his ears, until Zhen Yu left, it was still like a dream......
Looking at Zhen Jiang's dejected appearance, Mrs. Zhen coughed dryly: "Alas, it's really a big girl." ”
"Mother." Zhen Jiang committed himself to Mrs. Zhen's side, and said coquettishly, but there was a smile on his face, and he suddenly covered his blushing face with a smile, and he didn't know what he thought.
Caressing Zhen Jiang's soft hair, thinking that she was about to become a woman, she couldn't help but shed tears: "My daughter is such a good daughter, I have to marry him!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
Zhen Jiang couldn't restrain himself, two lines of hot tears rolled down, and said excitedly: "Mother......"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The haze of war has long been forgotten, and the festive atmosphere fills the entire plain county, and today is the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival is also known as the Shangyuan Festival, and the year is not passed until this day passes.
On this day, however, lantern viewing is essential. Legend has it that the Lantern Festival lantern viewing began during the Ming Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the Ming Emperor advocated Buddhism. I heard that Buddhism has the practice of monks contemplating Buddha relics on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and lighting lamps to worship the Buddha. On this night, he ordered to light lamps in the palace and temples to worship the Buddha, and ordered the scholars and common people to hang lamps.
Although it was only noon, he and everyone had a good time drinking in the county guard mansion hall early, saying that the county guard mansion was still the former county magistrate's mansion, but now it is possible to change the signboard openly, as for the Gongsun Du family who was detained in the original county guard mansion is still imprisoned, Liu Lan is naturally not afraid of negligence and letting the tiger return to the mountain, after all, Gongsun Du is not like Liu Lan back then, and he has no power in Liaodong. Even if he escapes, it will not pose a threat, of course, unless he escapes from Liaodong and returns to his 'master' Dong Zhuo's side, but if he wants to make waves, there is not much hope, maybe when he goes to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo and Xu Rong will already burp.
Worry-free inside, even more troubleless outside, the Hulu around Liaodong has been beaten by Xu Huang and he doesn't even dare to show his head, in this case, Liu Lan has made a decision, a spring. The strategic focus will shift to Huang County.
Drinking and having fun in the house, especially Liu Lan can get a lot of 'strong fragrance liquor' wine from Xu You, also known as palace wine, in the first two years of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu conquest Wang Mang passed Gaocheng. After drinking the local famous liquor "strong fragrant liquor", leave "a good place to enjoy the feast, and get the Jieshi to rejuvenate my Han; Wine to help me. Forever. Thick reward and swear, the emperor will take care of it. Words of praise.
Later, Liu Xiu became emperor. "Strong fragrant liquor" is listed as the imperial liquor of the Imperial Palace, and "Imperial Liquor" is named for this. The last time Liu Lan was lucky enough to drink this wine, he borrowed Zhao Zhong's light, but this time he obtained it from Yuan Shao, otherwise how could he, the crowd, drink such elixir.
Everyone was busy changing the wine, and at this time, Liu An, who was named Shaofu Shishi and was the steward of the county guard's mansion, came to report that there were two people outside the mansion who asked to see him, and one of them was Zhao Yun. ”
As soon as Liu Lan heard that Zhao Yun had finally come from the handover of the river, he immediately led everyone out of the mansion to greet him, but he was curious about who he was.
When everyone went out of the house, Liu Lan saw the open jaw next to Zhao Yun at a glance, and actually forgot about this stubble, although he had already released his words, and he released the open jaw after the war, but Zhao Yun would never do it again without Liu Lan's consent, so he brought him to Liaodong together, since this is the case, the open jaw really has nowhere to go now, greeted the two with a smile, and said: "Zilong, Jun Yi has worked hard all the way." ”
Grabbing the hands of the two, but not wanting to be slightly freed by the open jaw, Liu Lan smiled embarrassedly: "Fortunately, today is fifteen, and fifteen is the year, go, go, go, just take advantage of this festive day to wash the dust for Zilong and Junyi!" ”
The group returned to the banquet, Liu Lan sat in the center of the main seat, and the rest of Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Yan Rou, Tian Chou and others sat left and right in turn, among them, there were people who knew Zhao Yun and knew each other, and there were also those who had never met, but most of them had never seen Zhang Jaw, whether they knew each other or not, Liu Lan smiled and introduced them one by one, and Jian Yong used the most words: "The two Mo Kanxian and him are mediocre in appearance, ignoring prestige, but they are eloquent and eloquent, and they can be described as everyone who is vertical and horizontal." If you don't believe it, you can give it a try! ”
The two looked at Jian Yong, who was good at these long and short skills, his appearance was ordinary, but anyone could see that there was a slight difference in this ordinary, but they didn't know the reason for it for a while, but what really made the two of them remember it was that he leaned on and leaned in, and he didn't pay attention to Feng Yi's appearance, and he was really a casual person.
When the two of them looked at Jian Yong, he also looked at the two of them who only cared about drinking before, his eyes swept over the two of them like lightning, and then said with a smile: "Hugh listen to the nonsense of the lord, the two generals will be their own family members in the future, and they should work together to help my lord complete the hegemony of Hengwen." As he spoke, he raised his glass and said to the two, "Toast two of you for a glass below." ”
Zhao Yun naturally raised his glass to Jian Yong, but he was extremely embarrassed to open his jaw, not respectful, not respectful, and from time to time, he froze in place for a while and didn't know what to do.
"Isn't General Zhang too drunk?"
"No, it's just ......" Zhang He met Jian Yong's gaze, didn't know how to explain it for a while, lowered his head, and drank all the wine in the cup.
A hint of cunning appeared in the corners of Jian Yong's eyes, and after smiling at Liu Lan inscruciously, he nodded to Zhao Yun before sitting down.
After Jian Yong sat down, Liu Lan began to introduce again: "From Xu Shu and Xu Yuan to Li Xiang, Liang Da, and even Yan Zhi, but compared to Zhang Fei and a few others, Liu Lan boasted about them fiercely. After receiving his praise one by one, he repeatedly said that the lord praised it falsely. Then they raised the wine bottles one by one and toasted the two.
Among these people, there are few scribes and many generals, as for whether it is really a general as Liu Lan said, I don't know, but since Liu Lan dares to boast about Haikou, the most unfortunate must have fifty percent credibility, and I can't help but sigh in my heart that there will be so many extraordinary characters under Liu Lan's account, just when Liu Lan introduced Xu Shu, he didn't find that Ou Yejian showed a strange look, I really don't understand, how did Sima praise him to the sky?
