Chapter 10 The sound of the piano in the Gongsun Mansion is sad

After three rounds of drinking, Gongsun Zhan's son Gongsun continued to get up and raised the bottle and said: "I have been in Yangle County for so long, and I often hear that the county commander Zhang's daughter is amazing, why don't you please present a song and let me wait to open my eyes?" ”

As soon as he said this, the other officials' sons also got excited and coaxed one after another. Zhang Shuang blushed with shame when she heard this. Pang Tong looked at these pompous children who were like grinning ghosts, shook his head contemptuously, and thought, "These gang of prodigal sons have been squinting since the beginning. The daughters of other officials are also there, why don't you ask them to sing and dance, what a group of perverts! ”

He didn't know where he got such resentment, it seemed a little too much.

Zhang Mu said with a smile: "I was promoted by you, so I asked Lord Gongsun to borrow a piano." "Gongsun Chan ordered the lyre to be placed on the low table in the center. Zhang Mu said to Zhang Shuang: "Daughter, you can play a song for everyone's pastime." ”

Zhang Shuang said softly: "Yes." ”

Zhang Shuang walked to the red carpet in the center and sat on her knees, her fingers on the strings. Those sons and brothers can already see God, and some people are salivating, which is really not good. Just looking at her has already entered a kind of fantasy. Zhang Shuang plucked the strings, and everyone escaped into another dreamland. The sound of the piano rises slowly, without a high note, but it emits a bel canto with a tactful twist and turn. Everyone didn't know that this was because Zhang Shuang was forced to play the piano in front of everyone, so he was unhappy, and he drove his fingertips with a sad mood to pluck the sad sound of the piano, and the more he played, the more poignant it became. The sound of the piano stopped, and Gongsun Xu and the others woke up like a dream, and said straightly: "Good, good, good!" It's so wonderful, the girl's piano skills are really exquisite. Gongsun continued to raise the bottle and said, "I toast the girl!" He drank it all.

Pang Tong couldn't help but sigh: "I see that the girl is depressed in her heart. ”

Everyone searched for their voices, and saw that there was a handsome young man near the door. Gongsun Xu put down the wine bottle and said loudly: "Who are you, how can you sweep everyone Yaxing?" ”

Pang Tong got up and saluted and said: "I am engaged in Pang Tong in Yangle County, and I see that the eldest lady's piano sound is mixed with depression, and the sound of the piano is the voice of the heart, so I say it." ”

Gongsun continued to think: "You are robbing me of my prestige and insulting me and so on, and I don't know the rhythm." Then he frowned and said: "Bold villain, dare to speculate on the idea of the county commander's daughter, this is the following crime!" ”

Lu Bu was displeased when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Aren't you just reincarnated as an official, and you are so deceitful." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Mu hurriedly eased the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Gongzi is too worried, my county is engaged in Shiyuan is a learned person......

His words were interrupted, this person was Zhang Tie, the son of Zhang Bao, the Taishou of Liaoxi County, and sneered at this moment: "Don't say good things about this person, I think he just doesn't know how to be polite." ”

Gongsun Chan laughed out loud, and hurriedly said, "Why should you be displeased about this, Miss Zhang's piano skills are not enough to satisfy you?" ”

Zhang Tie and the others were juniors after all, and when they heard Gongsun Zan say this, they all shut up. Seeing this, Pang Tong hurriedly raised the wine bottle and said, "I have swept you Yaxing, I really lost my words." I'll give you a drink. After he finished drinking, as soon as he sat down, Zhang Shuang walked directly in front of him and said, "Shiyuan, how did I let you do things?" ”

Pang Tong looked up at this great beauty, and was stunned in his heart, and when he saw that his eyes were looking at him for help, he understood. He got up and said, "Miss, that thing is already in the house." ”

Zhang Shuang hurriedly walked behind everyone, came to Zhang Mu's side and bowed down and said, "Daddy, I'll go first, help me find a reason." ”

Zhang Mu knew that his daughter was unhappy, so he said to Gongsun Zhan: "Lord Gongsun, the little girl has something important to go back to the house." ”

Gongsun Chan nodded and said, "Go, I'll let the sedan chair man of this mansion send you." He summoned a maid and gave two orders, and the maid led Zhang Shuang out, and when he walked to the door, Zhang Shuang said to Pang Tong: "Shiyuan is not leaving, you have to help me do something." ”

Pang Tong was busy making amends to everyone, drank a glass of wine, and followed Zhang Shuang out of the house. Those sons and brothers were displeased, and Gongsun Xu looked at Pang Tong very dazzlingly. When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, the sedan chair had stopped there, and the maid helped Zhang Shuang into the sedan chair, and Pang Tong followed the sedan chair and returned to the county mansion. Zhang Shuang was accompanied by the maids in the house. Pang Tong went to the study and lit an oil lamp and began to read some official documents. An hour later, someone knocked on the door, and Pang Tong thought it was a subordinate, so he casually said, "Please come in." ”

I only heard the man's footsteps lightly, thinking that it was a maid, and when the man arrived at the table, Pang Tong looked up and trembled all over. He got up suddenly, the scroll in his hand was torn off, and said in a trembling voice, "Big ...... Lady ......"

I saw Zhang Shuang take a bowl of soup and put it on the table. Zhang Shuang said softly: "This is the white fungus soup that I ordered my subordinates to stew, and the huge people drank it while it was hot." ”

Pang Tong's heart was ape, his face was as red as red, and he arched his hand and said: "I'm just a subordinate, Miss is so loving, it's really ...... I really don't know what to say......"

Zhang Shuang covered her lips with her cuffs and chuckled: "Do you blush when you are serious?" ”

Pang Tong felt that his mouth was dry, as if he was about to be steamed dry, and he didn't know what to say. I saw Zhang Shuang say again: "This is to thank you for helping me out of the siege today, don't be wrong." With that, he turned and closed the door. Pang Tong stood for a long time before he sat down in the wooden chair, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Oh my God, it really kills me...... This beauty is really more powerful than thousands of troops. ”

In June, good news came from many parties, and Dong Zhuo, the pastor of Liangzhou, pacified the Qiang rebellion. Sun Jian broke through the Changsha county within a month, exterminated the district star and other rebellious parties, and the imperial court named him the Marquis of Wucheng. On the Youzhou side, Gongsun Chan broke the army of Qiu Liju of the Karasuma tribe, and because the vanguard was actually a white horse cavalry, the Saiwai ethnic group fled in despair, calling him the white horse general. The merits of Sun Zhan, the cousin of the imperial court, were worshiped as the captain of the captive school, the marquis of the capital pavilion, and the history of the governor of the country. After driving away the foreigners, Gongsun Zhan is now working on the matter of Zhang Ju claiming the emperor in Liaodong County.

It seems that everything is gradually becoming peaceful, but Pang Tong knows that chaos is like early birth. The embers of the Yellow Turban Rebellion will burn brighter and brighter.

In July, the county received a series of summonses. The first letter is about the death of the Spirit Emperor; The second letter said that the crown prince argued that he ascended the throne as Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, changed the name of the country to the first year of Guangxi, named the prince association as the king of Chen Liu, and set Chen Liujun as Chen Liuguo; The third letter is the sudden death of Empress Dong, the mother of King Chen Liu.

After reading it, Pang Tong came to the courtyard under the moon, walked to the stone table, looked up at the sky, and saw the stars twinkling. He said excitedly: "The Han court trembles, and the royal family is in turmoil. Those who have seized great power have been knighted, and those who have no way out are forced to die. ”

A male voice suddenly came: "Thousands of miles away, you can judge the matter of Luoyang, but you are young but have big things in mind." ”

Pang Tong was at a loss, and when he turned around, the county ordered Zhang Mu to step out under the corridor. Pang Tong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The villain just can't help but make a mistake. Zhang Mu approached and said sharply: "You are only engaged in speculation about the affairs of the imperial court!" ”

Pang Tong didn't panic when he heard this, and said: "Eat the king's money, and you think about it." With the heart of the family and the country, I only want the peace of the people! I thought, "Big deal!" ”

Zhang Mu suddenly laughed and nodded: "It is not easy for Pang Zhi to see the clues in the distance from a few documents. You're not the material for the prefectural order. ”

Pang Tong was puzzled: "Although I don't have great talent, I am also worried about the county order, why do you say this?" ”

Zhang Mu said: "Your talent is deep and far-sighted, and you will not succumb to me." Brother Ling has nothing to do with me, it should be very boring. You will not hide it from me again, and you will leave me in less than half a year. ”

Pang Tongzhi couldn't hide it, so he said frankly: "Don't talk about half a year, it should be within two months." He knew that the next rebellion in the imperial court would ignite the flames of chaos, and the royal family of the Han court would be in danger. And he and Lu Bu are here to be engaged in and captains, there is no place for them, and it is not a good man to stay for a long time. It's better to go out and have a good time, and you don't want to sit here and live a comfortable life.

Zhang Mu invited him to take a seat, went to bring the wine, and the two of them exchanged wine. Zhang Mu said: "The husband is not willing to be at ease, this is what the future is worried about. My youngest daughter, Shuang'er, is fifteen years old and has reached the age of marriage. I want to be married to you, I don't know what Shi Yuan wants? ”

Pang Tong's whole body trembled when he heard this, he was surprised and delighted, but he thought: "Zhang Shuang is as beautiful as a fairy, a girl's daughter, I am an ordinary man, I have no solid family background, and I don't know what his intentions are." If she doesn't like me, how can she force it? Then he said: "I am not talented, but I also know that the love of children needs to be respected." If you don't want it, how can it be good? ”

Zhang Mudao: "The words of the matchmaker, the order of the parents, how can they arrange it by themselves?" At this time, someone strode over and laughed: "I didn't mean to listen to you, I really couldn't sleep for a long night, and I didn't go to find Shiyuan." I wonder if it will be here. The two turned their heads and saw that it was Lu Bu.

When Zhang Mu saw him coming, he said: "The eldest brother is the father, since he came first, he can be the master, and he and I will settle this matter." Lu Bu sat down and said with a smile: "Although I am a brother, Shiyuan is far superior to me in terms of etiquette and knowledge, and I have to listen to him for many things." Since Lord Zhang is willing to marry his daughter to Shiyuan, it is really a great kindness. I'll treat Shiyuan to you a cup! Seeing that there were only two small cups, he had to lift the jar of small wine, but he drank it in one go, Zhang Mu was dumbfounded, and said half-loudly: "Good amount of wine!" ”

Pang Tong raised his glass and toasted him: "Wangxian Ling asked for a daughter." ”

Zhang Mu nodded while laughing, raised his wine glass and said, "If you are not an ordinary person, what you do is not old-fashioned." ”

The next day, Zhang Mu informed his daughter Zhang Shuang of the matter. Zhang Shuang looked shy and replied: "Daddy, how can he make decisions at will, the child doesn't want to leave Daddy yet." ”

Zhang Mu laughed when he heard this: "With such words, I will know your mind." ”

Zhang Shuang's face flushed, and he said softly: "Pang Shiyuan is eight buckets tall and looks dignified. The little girl is a rare wise man. ”

Zhang Mudao: "Then you agreed?" ”

Zhang Shuang covered her face, threw herself into his arms and said: "The will of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the father is in charge." ”
