Chapter 1877: The Battle of Shouchun (158)
From spring to spring, the weather is getting warmer day by day, not only the grass but also the trees have grown up and down Yecheng, a carriage is surrounded by three maids, more than a dozen tall soldiers, wearing golden armor, holding axes and axes slowly stopped in front of a mansion in front of the door of Dongjiaofang.
The house is where the Jizhou post house is located, and there is not a single family living in the whole street, they are all the houses of the post house, and the traffic in front of the door is busy, and the Wuyang is crowded, but no matter how high their status is, and how big their positions are in the counties, counties and states, even some tribal adults of the Xianbei and Qiang tribes have to abide by the rules and line up according to the rules when they arrive here.
But today is different, early in the morning the post man came to the post house for the first time, not to the public house, but to guard in front of the door, the door of the post house is wide open, which is rare on weekdays, at least the post house in the post house for so many years so grand opening of the door is the first time, although in the past to come to the post house into the owner of those people have a lot of heads and faces, but no matter how respectful your identity is, but in Yecheng, it is a dragon has to be coiled, is a tiger has to lie down, without exception, the civil official gets off the car has nothing to do with dismounting, from the side door into the post house, as for the person who can let the post man personally greet him, That's really not, even if Yuan Xi, the second son of the general yesterday, came, it was not as grand as today, and he walked out of the door.
Like Yicheng's official rank, it is not big, it is not small, there is so much right, at least in his acre and three points of land, he is saying that it is not two, staying here, what to eat and drink, what to live and want to live better, it is all Yicheng in a word, he can't take out five baht, it is useless to say that the sky is broken, of course, he is not without that eyesight, who should take five baht and who should not take, the door is clear, especially for people, it is naturally cool to do it immediately, to say that there is face, the key is that there is his favor, after all, he has this right, Except for the post house, it is not a fart, but you can be an official in Yecheng, you can't look up and see it, you can't say that it will fall into the hands of others one day, to put it bluntly, you will face with others today, and people will give you face tomorrow.
But today is different, early in the morning, the post man just started to eat the food post Cheng appeared unprecedentedly, in a hurry, as if his own yard was on fire, and shouted when he entered the house: "Don't eat, there will be honored guests coming soon, and the reception will be good, please eat at noon, the reception is not good, all eat the board, and one by one will give Lao Tzu a go!" ”
It doesn't matter to the postman whether he goes to the restaurant for dinner or not, but it's different if he hears that he has to get out, they all rely on this to support their families, this job is lost, and the whole family has to be hungry, and they all stand up and shout: "Yicheng, who is here, so serious?" ”
"Don't inquire if you shouldn't ask, when the time comes, puff up your chest for me, don't wilt it one by one, like a girl, do you hear it!"
"Yicheng, just take a look!"
"See? Why don't you go to work after knocking it out? Yi Cheng was about to jump up, impatient, but I didn't expect these post guards to react at all, still standing in place, about to get angry, but remembered that he hadn't assigned the task yet, so he snorted angrily and said: "A few of you, guide me to the people who came in and out today, and our post house is only allowed to go out and enter today." ”
"Gotcha!" A few post guards got the order, immediately turned out of the hall, towards the door of the post house, other things may be difficult to do, but it is not easy to stop people, no matter how big the official of your place is, when you get to our acre of three-point land, let you enter, you will enter, you let you in, then wait honestly.
"Don't be idle, go and clean up the yard, on the way from the main gate to the second son, there is still a two-word house, go quickly, don't delay."
"No!" After a few people finished speaking, they turned around and left, their hearts were stunned, Yuan Ergongzi, although he is the general's son-in-law, but in Yecheng, the civil and military officials broke the people who didn't know that the general liked the third prince the most, and the hundred officials supported the eldest son, these two heads had the highest voice, and they were also the most likely to succeed to the throne as the son, as for Yuan Ergongzi, it would be a bit of a grandma who didn't love his uncle and uncle, otherwise he wouldn't dare to snub Yuan Xi so much, but today he suddenly listened to Yicheng's instructions just now, and he immediately understood in his heart, this is most likely the general himself came. Otherwise, Yicheng can work so hard?
One by one while walking and guessing, there are even many people who think that this time the post is going to be unlucky, just because he didn't even open the middle door yesterday, which made Yuan Xi angry, and he was not allowed to wear small shoes at that time, don't say that he has no play in this post Cheng, it is this good head, I'm afraid there is no play, a few people whispered to each other, the post is down, it doesn't matter much to them, anyway, whoever is the post is not their turn, as for sending five baht, these things will not be done, just this little salary, how can there be money to the post Cheng, At that time, at best, it will be diligent and diligent, and if it can be valued by Yicheng, it is not impossible for the salted fish to turn over.
In their respective guesses, Yi Cheng was still arranging the task: "A few of you clean water sprinkled on the street, a few of you are waiting in front of the door, and the arrangement is completely appropriate, this is considered to be relieved, and I was about to wait in front of the door, when suddenly a post guard came over and said with a flattering face: "Yi Cheng, didn't we collect a lot of Karasuma people's lambskins a few days ago, why don't we use them too, lambskin is so shopped, how grand is this." ”
"You loser, that lambskin is made into a robe......" Yi Cheng just scolded twice, and was suddenly stunned, yes, that lambskin will be sold sooner or later, so it is better to spread it as a blanket, anyway, the adults of Karasuma don't all use lambskin as a carpet in their tents, and at most they will not make robes and make blankets and sell them.
His belief changed sharply, and he nodded immediately: "You can do this now, you will be rewarded for doing it well, and you will be seriously injured!" Yi Cheng deliberately emphasized the word heavy reward, and the tail note dragged heavily, so that he understood the importance of this matter, and let him understand that as long as this matter is done well, it will not only be rewarded with money, but also give a little care in the position.
The young post man was speechless excitedly, and hurriedly ran to the warehouse, and when the carriage arrived at the post house, the post was already ready, and the envoys from the counties and states came in an endless stream every day on weekdays, not including the Saiwaihu people who were covered by the sky and the sea, for the people of Jizhou, although there is a post station sign here, it can be said that it is no different from the Honglu Temple, but the general does not dare to trespass.
But today the crowd is surging, all waiting in front of the post house, leaving a passage that can accommodate the van car, seeing the moment the van appeared, the post hurriedly greeted it, but the carriage only got down a young little maid, and the post man chatted a few words, but the post man was full of red light in front of the way.
The carriage moved, but Yi Cheng had to jog to follow the carriage in front of the guide, this scene is not to mention how eye-catching, many people have speculated, what kind of people are sitting in this carriage, it is so big, although the carriage has always been used by women, but now it is not so particular, and the frequency of male and female use is very large.
But soon when the carriage entered the post house, some people with good eyesight reacted, isn't this the carriage of the general's mansion, at first I thought that some important person was staying in the post house, but now it seems that this eighty percent is the general.
"No wonder such a big faction, it turned out to be a general." There were some exclamations outside the post house, but soon there were many people who sneered at the laughter, how could the general come to the post house, the person who could let the general come here to see had not yet been born in this world, besides, if the general went out, it would be too shabby to be such a guard of honor, most of the time it was the third son.
"Oh! It turned out to be the third son, so it makes sense, but don't they all say that this Yuan Sangongzi is the most like a general, and he has always been approachable, why did he still do such a thing to block the way, and it was really better to meet than to be famous. ”
Many people began to slander themselves, and the third prince turned out to be nothing more than that, saying that he was the same as the general, corporal Lixian, approachable, not as high-flying as the eldest prince Yuan Tanhe, nor like the second prince Yuan Xi's eyes above the top, now it doesn't seem to be the case at all, otherwise if it is really like what the market says, seeing the situation in front of the door, then don't invite people to buy people's hearts? But you see, you don't even ask, you just swagger in, it's really ......"
Before he finished speaking, the person on the side interrupted him, sighed and said: "Be content, what are we, to put it bluntly, it's just an errand, the third son of the family can stand up for you and me, and invite people to buy people's hearts, is your 'heart' or my 'heart' worth two hundred and five baht?" ”
Although it was a joke, it also shut up a small official who was a little unhappy before, what are they, in the eyes of the second son, they may not even be as good as an ordinary soldier, ordinary soldiers can still work for the third son if they invite people's hearts, what about us?
The officials who refused to enter the post house before are now extremely disappointed, and today if Wen Chou or a general like Xun Zhan stays in the post house, to be honest, they will wait, who makes the family now in a high position and hot, and they will wait, but as a descendant of the Yuan family, it is too chilling to do such a thing because of their own reasons.
But they quickly figured it out, after all, everyone is the same, they didn't enter the post house, they don't suffer from widowhood and unevenness, so it's comfortable to think about it, and even a little gloating, see, a small official secretly pointed to a man in a cloth robe not far away and said: That person is the order of Liyang County, and now this one is the same as us, and he is also waiting here? ”
"Isn't it? Is that person really the commander of Liyang County? ”
"Then there can be a fake!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
At this time, the county magistrate had been following the van car to lead the way, and at this time, a woman's voice came from the carriage: "Why is there a sea of people in front of this post house, and the post is like this every day?" ”
Yi Cheng chuckled in his heart, said that he was going to suffer, and hurriedly explained: "No, it is very orderly on weekdays, but today I got the letter from the General's Mansion, and I was afraid that the honorable guest would be in a hurry, so I made this decision." ”
In fact, he only got a letter today, saying that an important guest was going to meet the second son, of course, the specific person was not notified, but he himself knew that the entourage of the third prince had come yesterday, and it was directly to the door, how could he actually come to the notice in advance like today, although he was just a small post house, but in this mixed post house, what identity of the person has not seen, too clear what is going on, most likely the third prince is going to come in person, and it may even be a person with a higher status, where dare to slacken, But the scene in front of the post house made him a little scared, did he do it a little too much, causing the unhappiness of the honored guest?
His mind was in a hurry, Hu Ren heard the heavy humming in the carriage, the initial female voice he thought was the little maid, but as soon as this hum came out, he knew that it was not, the little maid's voice was the same as the kingfisher, and the female voice just now was hoarse, and he reacted in an instant, where is this the general and the third son, it is very likely to be the general's wife, it seems that she is very dissatisfied with her today's car block, that is, the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, this pillow wind blows, can you still have good?
Eyes turned, hurriedly explained, said: "The guest does not know, today the post house is crowded, although the humble position knows that there are honored guests to arrive, but only notified them in advance, I hope they can make a way at that time, convenient for the guest to enter the post house, and do not want to drive to stop people, which they heard that it is the general's mansion of the vehicle to enter the post house, have said to wait in front of the post house, but the lord gave way to the passage, the humble position to see the post house in front of the crowd, afraid of chaos, hope they will enter and exit as soon as possible, but they said that the general's mansion car to the post house, Even if they eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, they don't dare to enter the post house in front of the general's car, saying that they have to wait for your car to enter the museum before entering, and they can't convince them with their humble and bitter words, so there is a scene outside the door, and please forgive me. ”
Although he heard the identity of the person who came, but he didn't break it, and even Fang Cai's words were neither humble nor arrogant, it seemed to beg for mercy, but in fact he was helpless, and he only felt that the car curtain seemed to move for a while, but he not only went to see, but after a long time, he heard a female voice in the car again, but this time he must have the voice of the little maid: "I see, since it is the courtiers' respect for the general's fists, then I can't complain about you, but it's better not to do such a thing in the future, how do others enter the inn, How do you get in, understand? ”
"Understand, understand, respect and compassion for the ministers, they are all thousands of miles away, all the way to the dust, not to mention how hard it is, some people have long been worn out on the inside of their legs because of horseback riding, but they are still waiting outside, although they can't bear it, they can't be persuaded to stay, but they have already been humbled to eat and drink for them in advance, and they have instructed the post guards, after the carriage of the general's mansion enters, they will immediately let them enter the post house and go directly to the middle gate."
