Chapter 124: Gathering (2)
"I did see the letter from Youzhou, which is to ask how Uncle Ciming is in Hanbin, now that the plague is rampant, I want Uncle Ciming and you to take care of your health. I saw that the other party had reported himself to the door of the house, and had heard of your traces, so I put it in Uncle Tzu Ming's study with other letterheads. It's just that...... Nuxun, the Liu family in Youzhou is very widely distributed, and there are many clansmen, but I don't know who Liu Shi is in Zhuo County? Have you ever heard of Uncle Tzu Ming? Female Xun, female ......"
"I'll go to the study. Don't go, brother, I'll come right away. ”
Listening to Xun Cai's hurried footsteps, thinking of her depressed and restless expression in the past few days, Xun Shuang looked at Yin Yu's departure again, and his mood was also gloomy, and he entered the door and asked, "Tongruo, is there any news from Youzhou?" Listening to your tone, there seems to be a hidden secret? ”
"Uncle Ciming."
It was Xun Qu Xun Tongruo, who was now temporarily in charge of the clan politics, who was talking about Uncle Xun Shuang, who was actually older than Xun Shuang. He waved his hand and made a gesture of please, greeted Xun Shuang into the main hall, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "There was news from Youzhou before, saying that there was a Han clan clan who led seven people to break tens of thousands of moths, and that person was also the Liu family of Zhuo County. ”
Xun Shuang's whole person suddenly tensed up, his heart was pounding, but he didn't say anything, when he entered the door, a cadre of brothers and juniors had already greeted him, and he also greeted everyone with a smile, accepting everyone's greetings, and praising the achievements of his hermit life.
Xun Qu was still talking, "There is also news that the father of the Han clan is also called Liu Shi. Liu Shi died in Zhuojun Gu'an, and before his death, he imitated the emperor and gave his son a revenge. If it is the same person, then since the letter has been received, someone must be sent to mourn. ”
Xun Shuang was stunned, and at this time, a handsome young man who was nearly twenty years old and had an extraordinary bearing greeted him, and laughed loudly: "Sixth uncle, the method of symbols, now the eldest brother has finished repairing. The sixth uncle is really kind-hearted, and he actually attributed such a reputation to us. It's just that Yu is ashamed of it, so he doesn't mix. I have also seen the method of symbols, which seems to be ordinary and has its own merits. If this method is popularized, no one will take it out of context and provoke ......."
He couldn't hear the next words clearly, and Xun Qu's words kept echoing in his ears, "It's just...... Alas, the descendants of the Liu family originally had this immortal achievement, and they should make meritorious contributions and calm the troubled times, but they didn't want to, and they were infected with typhoid fever. After being robbed of love by that Liu Shi, he dragged his sick body to the south on the second day, and then disappeared...... Maybe it's dead. It's a pity, such a pillar ......."
Syllable!
Behind him, the wooden slab fell to the ground and smashed with a crisp sound.
Xun Shuang watched the people in front of him fall silent, and some people looked behind him and said, "Nu Xun, what's wrong with you?" Turning his head to look, he saw his daughter's body stiff at the door, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of tears, "Tong, Tongruo brother, you, you mean ......"
"Nuxun, why is this so?"
Xun Qu was puzzled, and suddenly avoided it, and saw Xun Cai kneeling on the ground, choking at Xun Shuang and saying, "Daddy...... Daughter, daughter ......"
Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, knowing the father is also Mo Ruo's son, Xun Cai knows that now Liu Zheng does not know his life and death, Liu Shi died of immortals, she is a woman's family, in Xun Shuang's eyes, it is not appropriate to mourn Zhuo County on behalf of the Xun family, so she has to kneel and plead.
Everyone hurriedly avoided it, and someone went to help, but was pushed away by Xun Cai.
"He could be dead......
Xun Shuang thought of Yin Yu, thought of the revenge of love, and then thought of the brothers who died of typhoid fever in their early years, as well as the miserable appearance of the swords and slashes he had witnessed in the past, and he looked like a mad demon, and said with complicated eyes: "I don't see ...... Isn't it better? ”
"Daughter...... The mind has been decided. ”
Xun Cai pursed his lips and said stubbornly.
The mind has been decided, naturally talking about marriage, Xun Shuang said angrily when he heard this: "Ridiculous! You are my Xun family! ”
"Sixth brother, what's wrong?"
Xun Balong Xun Yang asked, but Xun Shuang turned a deaf ear, and listened to Xun Cai unyieldingly: "My daughter is still from the Han family...... I, Xun, are also members of the Han family. Such a loyal and righteous person, for the stability of my Han and let the heirs regain their love, but died unexpectedly, shouldn't they go to mourn? ”
"That's not your turn!"
Xun Shuang flicked his sleeves and shouted, his face turned red and said: "Teaching you knowledge on weekdays is not to let you be coerced by righteousness to be your father!" Now you behave like this, it's nonsense, what kind of system! ”
"Confucianism, Confucianism, Spring and Autumn Righteousness...... Give your daughter another ten years, and she will be a hundred times better than you! ”
Xun Shuang's expression was stunned, Xun Cai's face was resolute, and he said with a sad expression: "But what's the use of my daughter learning that?" If you commit yourself to others, if you have such a treacherous place, you are disloyal! If there is someone else in the daughter's heart, it is unrighteousness! In such a place of death, no one knocks, no one whispers......"
"You ......"
This somewhat explicit remark made Xun Shuang grit his teeth in anger, and Xun Cai was still saying, "If no one comforts you, it will be like a dry spring, and no one will foam with foam!" ”
Xun Cai bowed and begged solemnly: "My daughter implores her father to let her go north!" If not, ask your father to give your daughter a piece of white silk, or a dagger, or a glass of poisonous wine! Daddy is happy, even if it is a three-pronged approach, his daughter is willing to accept it! ”
"How can it be!"
Everyone asked for a while, Xun Shuang ignored it, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he raised his hand and shook the sleeves of his robe, "Now that the army is in chaos and the people are not happy, I will go, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am risking my life, you are not at home and keep yourself, and you still want to go over...... You came here in advance, and it was already your eldest brother, Gongda, and Boqi in the Nanyang military rebellion, and now you want to go north with me, not to mention the etiquette and law, and to threaten me with such disloyal and unfilial words?! ”
He took a deep breath and said angrily: "The glory of the ancestors and the promotion of Confucianism have caused the Han family to favor my Xun family a lot, and now that the party has been lifted, Your Majesty has repeatedly recruited people, why don't we go?" Don't you know that several uncles in your family died because of the party's rebellion? We can still rely on Liu Gongzi's exploits to go to mourn to show the literati's sympathy. If you go, what will your majesty think of my Xun clan? He would think that my Xun family has such respect for the Han family, and even the female relatives stayed by his side to visit, so the royal family should be even more so! ”
"At that time, if your uncles and brothers refuse again, causing the court to be angry, can you afford it? It's not to say that the grace of heaven is mighty...... But mortals, seeing that we and even your women were treated against etiquette to mourn, thinking that we had the intention of serving the court, and were pushed into the fire pit surrounded by eunuchs by my Xun clan, how do you call me Xun to deal with myself? ! We were forced to have this wise move to protect our lives out of desperation, and if you go, you will push us into a catastrophe! Xun Cai, you are so majestic! ”
"Sixth Brother ......"
"Uncle Ciming......"
Everyone didn't know why this scene was, so they had to comfort him, and a young man named Xun Yu walked over and squatted in front of Xun Cai, "Female Xun, why is this so?" You tell your brother, and your brother will help you find another way. What kind of system does it take to blackmail the sixth uncle by doing such a thing of seeking death and life? Hurry up, you should think about what the sixth uncle said, if the royal family intervenes in your marriage at that time, it will not be beautiful. You give your brother a little time, and help your brother say a few words, the sixth uncle is benevolent and righteous, and it's okay to ......."
"His benevolence and righteousness are only for the common people; His benevolence and righteousness are only for the Xun family to last; His benevolence and righteousness are only for you like Wang Zuozhi...... A dead man will not be righteous! ”
Xun Cai's eyes were red and tearful, and in the face of Xun Shuang's increasingly angry expression, he said in a tough tone: "The method of symbols was created by Liu Gongzi; The immortal achievement of the country and the country was created by Liu Gongzi; The person who is willing to discuss the righteousness is the only one who is Liu Gongzi! Childe's talent, I have been convinced! Daddy cares about his death and refuses to let his parents live, so he has already complied! ”
"Ridiculous! Come! Lock her up for me! Shut it up! He has evil magic in his body, he does not repent, and he talks nonsense! What's the use of keeping you, what's the use of keeping you! ”
Xun Shuang drank heavily, his chest rose and fell in anger, he was even more dizzy, and his body staggered a few steps.
Everyone supported and comforted for a while, and some people hurriedly went out to call people, Xun Cai looked at his father's old body being angry like this by her, and he couldn't bear it, but he still pouted and cried bitterly: "Daddy...... Let your daughter go...... The daughter doesn't want to lose her father's name of virtue, but her daughter ...... My daughter really wants to see Lousang Village, Zhangjiazhuang, and Gu'an City with her own eyes...... If De Ran falls, his daughter is willing to guard the ...... for him."
"Say it again! You say it again! ”
Xun Shuang was about to scold, and suddenly a servant came in and whispered to Xun Qu.
Xun Qu's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Uncle Ciming, please calm your anger." Just now you came back, I forgot to say that there was already a Beizhonglang guard in Jizhou, saying that he was sending a message to Zhongfu and wanted to meet his uncle in person. I sent someone to call him, and now that he is at the door, I can't let people see the joke. Nuxun, you also get up...... Although I don't know why Zhongfu went to Jizhou, I think it's also for your business, don't be rude, you have to let that soldier come in for a while. ”
Xun Cai hurriedly got up and ran out, Xun Shuang saw her rudeness as a female family member to welcome the guest, chased and scolded, and then followed out.
After Xun Cai finished asking outside the door, Xun Shuang and the others also greeted him, and the soldier greeted Xun Shuang and the others, and after confirming that it was Xun Shuang, he hugged his fists and said: "A certain is Lu Zhonglang's subordinate guard Tang Lian." Ci Minggong, I was entrusted by my general to talk to you about a few things. That Liu Zheng and Liu Deran are indeed the beloved disciples of my generals, and they are also rumored to be the god generals who broke 50,000 yellow turbans with eight people. In the case of typhoid fever, when the eldest son of the general's family set off for his hometown, he had written to the army, saying that he would go to the army to seek a solution in the near future. There is Lao Ciming's concern. ”
"Missing...... Nakaro will be able to learn about this, is my family Nakasuke where he is? ”
"Exactly! The second prince of your mansion was in the general's tent to confirm the matter at that time, and the general of my family asked a certain person to come to report the matter, which also meant to reassure the Duke of Ciming. ”
The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "The general said it." Thanks to the love of Duke Ciming, let the second son join the army ......"
"What?!"
Xun Shuang was shocked, "My son is in the army!" ”
"Exactly. The general of my family saw that the second son was skilled in arching horses, and now he has been assigned to the shooting battalion as an archer soldier. The second prince has also agreed, and asked a certain to come, so that Ciming Gong does not need to worry. In addition, my general also asked me to say a word to Ci Ming Gong in person: The time has come. If Ci Ming Gong has something to say, he will take it back. ”
"It's ...... time"
Xun Shuang was stunned, and Xun Qu, Xun Yu and others beside him flashed in unison.
Someone stepped forward and smiled: "Sixth uncle, some people's time has come...... Not necessarily. I went to Zhuo County to mourn Liu Gongzi's father. Since Nu Xun said that the method of symbols was pioneered by Liu Gongzi, he should go and express his thoughts when he is happy with this method. ”
Xun Shuang turned his head, and saw his eldest brother and sister-in-law Xun Yue smiling lightly, and his own daughter was even pulled by Xun Yu's sleeves, and she was desperately broken, trying to leave silently.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he saw Xun Yu pulling Xun Cai's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Sixth uncle, my time has definitely not arrived, and now I have just married Humble Jing, you also know that it is inconvenient for Yu to come forward...... What's more, Wang Zuo's talent, there must always be Wang Kezuo, right? Your Majesty is the emperor, Yu Ke can't help ......"
When he said this, he clenched his fists and said guiltily: "Oh, it's a lie." Yu was willing to be punished. Yu decided, and Yu did not participate in the affairs of the clan. Yu is still too young...... This took the female Xun to the mountains and wilderness to relax and temper her mind. Don't worry, we are incognito, with me, she Xun Cai will definitely not see that Liu Gongzi. ”
Xun Cai's heart moved when he heard Xun Yue's words, and then he heard Xun Yu talk about it at this time, and then settled down, and felt that Brother Wen Ruo was so slippery, and he was incognito, so naturally it had nothing to do with Xun Cai, so he used another name to see Liu Gongzi.
Xun Shuang couldn't hear this, and his face turned red with anger, "You don't participate in clan affairs, you want to participate in my family affairs?" ”
"Uh, why did Uncle Six say that? Isn't it a character that can't be trusted? What's more, if you keep Nuxun to make trouble at home, maybe something will happen, wouldn't it be better to take Nuxun to live a hermit life again? ”
Where did Xun Shuang believe him, knowing that Xun Yu was now young and vigorous, he must be a little rebellious, and he had to beat, Xun Qu said: "Uncle Ciming, don't let General Tang wait for a long time." ”
Xun Shuang reacted, and then hugged his fist towards the soldier, and then his face changed, and when he turned his head, he saw Xun Yue Xun Yu running away with Xun Cai, he glared at Xun Qu who was assisting him angrily, and wanted to stop it, and then sighed in his heart, thinking that Xun Cai had not thought about tea and dinner in the past few days, and went to this relationship in person, not to mention that with these two reasonable nephews, there would be no problems in the future.
He thought of this, then thought about it again, bowed his hand to the soldier, and said with a straight face: "Please also ask Your Excellency to bring a message to General Lu Zhonglang." Cool has understood. Lu Zhonglang will lead the troops to fight and serve the country, and he has to take care of his health, so that our soldiers will advance hand in hand and return our Han to a bright future. ”
The soldier was also a little excited when he heard this, "Ciming is righteous and righteous!" I will definitely bring a message to my general! Without further ado, I'll report it now. ”
The soldier turned to leave, and a kind of brother and nephew beside him began to bow their eyebrows and ponder, and their expressions were different.
Xun Shuang rubbed his hands, dusted off his clothes, and asked as if he was a little careless: "Tongruo, on this day, do you say it is sunny or cloudy?" ”
Xun Qu raised his eyes and saw that the sun was shining, and then he looked at the thoughtful looks of the uncles and brothers, and sighed towards Xun Shuang and said, "There is Uncle Ciming outside the clan, and it is sunny." The clan is there, and the clouds and sunny days change, I don't know how. ”
"If you don't know, then divide up. Or stay in the blood, or fight for the ......"
Xun Shuang was upright, and bowed his hand to the crowd and said: "Everyone, from today onwards, if Your Majesty sends a letter, Shuang will not let it go!" If you are implicated, please also ask you to be Haihan. ”
"What's the matter?"
Some people talked and laughed, "I have eight dragons in front of my Xun family, Wang Zuo in the back, and in the phoenix nest, will there be a pheasant?" I'll go and prepare for the salute. ”
Someone laughed, "Sixth brother, is the road ahead open or apprehensive, you and I will each take one...... The country is hanging upside down, since the time has come, my Xun clan will not let go. ”
Xun Qu also smiled and said, "Then Qu is waiting at home." If he has a lonely soul and a wild ghost in the future, it is good for someone to summon a soul to go home. ”
He bowed his hand to everyone and smiled calmly: "I hope you are well." Qu will not send it. ”
"All of you are well."
Everyone bowed their hands together, and then dispersed, Xun Shuang looked up at the sky, his eyes were full of tears, and he said indifferently with a smile: "With this immortal merit under the door, General Lu Zhonglang will have a bargaining chip...... The matter of his return to the court in the future will definitely not be bad. We will assist and set things right, in this world, how can there be an uncertain reason? ”
He turned to leave.
Not long after, several carriages outside the Xun Mansion rushed to each other, and two men understood, each of them tacitly raised their eyebrows, and the young man named Xun Yu noticed the depressing atmosphere in the carriage, laughed, and asked curiously towards the girl who was kneeling beside him and looking at the bamboo slips: "Dare to ask Miss Cai, how did you meet that person?" If you say it, if you travel all over the mountains and rivers for your brother, you will definitely find a solution to typhoid fever...... Uh, typhoid fever...... Why do I feel a little impulsive this trip! ”
