Chapter 73: The Firmament

PS: Something, it's late

Tian Hu, the son of Anping Jun Tiandan, was only fourteen years old, but he was already as tall as a young man of twenty, because he followed his father in and out of the barracks from time to time, and interacted with the military warriors, he had already tasted the taste of wine at their instigation, and he was addicted to it as soon as he drank it, but he didn't dare to make a mistake at home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In the past few days, the wine worm in his stomach is biting, smelling the mellow fragrance wafting from next door, he immediately salivated, and said to the woman holding the bamboo slip opposite him:

"Sister, I smell the wine!"

The woman is not very old, about sixteen, dressed simply and decently, there is no ornament on a dark cyan dress, and her head is not as high as other Linzi women, but she simply ties a hanging cloud sideburns, and her face is not smeared with grease and powder, her facial features are delicate, her eyes are aura, and her eyebrows are obliquely inserted into her temples, adding a bit of heroism.

She is the daughter of Anping Jun, born in the lonely city of Jimo was trapped, the day she was born, it happened to be Tian Dan with a fire ox array with dry reeds tied to the tail to break the Qi army, after returning from killing the enemy, he saw the eldest daughter in the swaddling clothes, and felt that this was a celebratory gift from God to him, so he named her "Jia".

葭 is the meaning of reed.

At this moment, Tian Hu sniffed the smell of wine, and had already forgotten that his sister was teaching him poetry books on the table in front of him, Tian Jia couldn't help frowning slightly, and said: "I smell it, but I only feel the smell of wine, and I don't feel the smell ......of wine."

His father often went out to fight, and Tian Hu was obedient to this sister, and even his poems, books, rituals and music were taught by Tian Jia.

Speaking of the reason, it is because when Tian Hu went to the Pan Palace run by the Qi State a few years ago, he got a "strange disease", the words on the slip, no matter how many times he was taught by the master, he just couldn't recognize it, and even the gentleman invited by An Pingjun to Jixia was to no avail. The Confucian gentleman also asked An Pingjun to mourn and change, saying that there are some young people who really can't read and write, which is the will of heaven and cannot be violated by manpower.

Tian Dan had no choice but to give up, planning to give up letting his son be literate, specialize in riding horses and making swords, and be a martial artist, but his daughter Tian Jia disagreed.

At that time, she was only fourteen years old, and she was articulate and said to Tian Dan: "The ancients entered primary school at the age of eight, and raised the son of the country to Taoism, which is the six arts of teaching, one is etiquette, two is music, three is archery, four is royal, five is calligraphy, and six is mathematics. ”

"My daughter thinks that the most important of the six arts of a gentleman is books: literacy, understanding, and writing, which are the foundation of a gentleman and the only magic weapon for establishing a life. If the younger brother doesn't know a word, even if he inherits Yeyi as a feudal monarch in the future, he will definitely be deceived by others, and he can't even figure out the taxes and plans of his own mansion, how can he manage the city well? ”

"Even if you are a general in the army, when you encounter a letter sent by the king, you have to rely on others to read it out for you, which is a matter of confidentiality, and it is inevitable that there will be side problems. Dare to ask your father, if you didn't know a word back then, would you be able to gain a foothold in Linzi City? Can you keep Jimo, and deceive King Yan and the robbery with letters, are you fooled? ”

Tian Dan was moved, but he still thought that his son's illness was "providential" and could not be cured.

Tian Jia has his own reasoning: "When my mother was still alive, she often told me about the events of the year, and when my father was trapped in Jimo, some people often said to my father that the king of Qi had no way, which led to the fall of Linzi, Le Yi attacked Qi, and breathed more than 70 cities in Qi, so it was the will of heaven that the Qi country perished." However, my father didn't listen, relying on a lonely city, with 7,000 soldiers, but he went against the sky. Is my brother's so-called illness more difficult to save than the situation in Jimo back then? If my father didn't try to the end, how could he give up easily? ”

Tian Dan finally agreed, and Tian Jia asked his father to hand over his younger brother's education to him, let him learn for four hours every day, he must recognize five words, and if he didn't learn it, he was not allowed to dance with his favorite sword and bow. So slowly, Tian Hu really began to be literate, and after two years, he could recognize more than 1,000 words, which was no different from a normal aristocratic teenager.

This matter was rumored to be a strange talk by the people of Linzi, as for why An Pingjun's daughter is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, I am afraid it has something to do with Mrs. An Pingjun, who passed away early......

Therefore, Tian Hu was very convinced of his sister, who was already half a head shorter than him, and immediately sat back on the couch obediently.

"We've just learned 'July of the Wind'. This poem is about the farming at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, peeling dates in August, and harvesting rice in October, for which spring wine is used to Jiemei Shou......"

"Wine!"

However, Tian Hu only heard the word wine, his eyes were straight again, and he wandered out of the world, thinking about the smell of wine from the Proton Mansion next door.

Seeing his younger brother like this, Tian Jia sighed, pushed the bamboo slip, and didn't say anything, but just said to him: "Brother, you are fourteen, you should know something, I will tell you a story related to wine today, and I still heard it from a novelist in the palace......

"Good!" As soon as he heard that his sister was going to tell the story, Tian Hu immediately cheered up and stopped sleeping.

Tian Jia's sweet voice said: "Back then, the Wei State was strong and almost dominated the world, and the princes were all afraid to submit. One year, King Hui of Wei hosted a banquet for the princes in Fantai, and when everyone was happy, King Wei invited the Duke of Lu of Lu to raise a toast. Lu Gonggong stood up, left his seat, did not drink, but said something. ”

"Lu Gonggong said that in the past, Di Shun's daughter was called Yi Di, she invented wine, and gave it to Yu, Yu felt very sweet when he drank it, but because of this, he alienated Yi Di ......"

Tian Hu was stunned and said, "It turns out that this is how the wine came from?" He scratched his face again: "If anyone gives me good wine, I will definitely be close to him." ”

Tian Jia shook his head: "This is human nature, so Xia Yu is Mingjun, and he has quit drinking since then." He also said: 'There will be those who will die because of drinking!' ’”

After talking about Xia Yu's story, Lu Gonggong cited Qi Huan's greed for easy teeth, Jin Wengong's obsession with the beauty Nanwei, and Chuzhuang's attachment to Gaotai, but in the end they were all alienated from the three. Lu Gonggong used these three things to warn King Wei Hui that in his wine glass was Yidi's wine, and the food he tasted was Jiarou, as if cooked by Yi Ya; Accompanied by Nanwei-like beauties; There is a forest in front of the palace room, and there is a Lantai in the back, which is the same high platform as the king of Chuzhuang. As long as you indulge in one of these four things, it is enough to destroy the country, so the Ming monarch has alienated them, and the king of Wei has these four things, so he should be vigilant......"

"King Wei Hui didn't listen to Lu Gonggong's words after all, and finally led to the decline of the country......"

Tian Jia sighed: "Today's Qi country, like King Wei Hui, has only been back to the country for many years, from the prince to the generals, but they are all addicted to pleasure, drinking all day long, and getting drunk all night. ”

Although Tian Hu didn't understand the deep meaning of this story, he still said a little timidly: "My sister has taught me that my brother will never be greedy for cups in the future." ”

Tian Jia's voice softened: "Sister is not annoying you, but annoying the generals, feudal monarchs, and sons of Qi State." ”

Her anger comes from her father's hard work for the Qi country for more than ten years, like an old cow, seeing that the sideburns and gray hair are gradually growing, and he needs help to ride a horse to go up, but no one can understand his hard work, and he also takes advantage of the peaceful environment he has worked hard to enjoy himself......

Tian Jia stood up, paced slowly in the room, and said indignantly: "Poor Qi country, only my father is diligent and simple, not drinking and having fun, more than ten years ago in Jimo saved Qi country once, but now the Qi people seem to have forgotten the hatred of the country, and they are so unenterprising, and then there is an enemy army pressing the border, I am afraid that they will lose their armor again, do you still expect my father to save them a second time?" ”

She hates, hates that she is not a man, she can't share her father's worries, she can only post some useless comments in the house, and what about those good men? Flying eagle dogs, six boju ju, wine high meeting, I don't know what I'm doing all day.

In the end, Tian Jia didn't forget to sarcastically talk about the new neighbor next door: "There is also the son of Zhao Guo who came to Qi to make wine and have fun." Rice is harvested in October, so spring wine is brewed after the harvest, and it is okay to drink a little wine. But that Chang'anjun made wine in the late spring and early summer when there was no green and yellow, which violated the agricultural time. Not to mention that he still uses the grain of Qi country, if every household is like this, this summer, I am afraid that many people inside and outside Linzi will starve. ”

Remembering that day, when he came home from Jixia School Palace, he passed by the Proton Mansion, and heard that Pingyuanjun and Chang'anjun's uncle and nephew made an appointment to go to Nulu for the night, Tian Jia's first impression of Chang'anjun became extremely different, and he only thought that he was the same as other sons and grandsons of Qi State, and he was a prostitute.

Tian Hu also knew that his sister often went out of the school palace because of their deceased mother's relationship, and there were some insights that he couldn't understand, so when she was a little angry, he said sneeringly: "Will we still go to hunt in three days?" ”

"Go, of course."

Tian Wei closed the bamboo slip hatefully: "My father is a great hero of the Qi Kingdom, but in recent years, he has been suspicious of the king and slandered by the villain. Now that he is leading the troops outside, you and I have to participate in the exchange, otherwise Zhun Bao will tell the king and the queen mother that there is no one in the eyes of An Pingjun's children, and he will not even pay attention to the prince's invitation. ”

She is a smart girl, all sharp words, only in the house, only limited to the family, once outside, she will immediately keep silent, put on a layer of disguise for herself, talk and laugh with the girls of the same age, listen to them talk about those boring court gossip, interesting things, look up, but the eagle in the sky is free......

……

At the same time, in the Proton Mansion across the wall, Chang Anjun also received an invitation......

"The prince invited us to go hunting?"

After the Qi Palace, he said: "This is the annual routine of Xia Miao, when the grandson of the prince of Linzi and the children of the feudal monarch will be present, Chang'an Jun must go." By the way, I also have to bring the 100 warriors of the Zishui Battalion, and when hunting, it is indispensable to ask them to contribute. ”

"Exactly."

Mingyue also did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Do you remember the bet I made with General Kuang Liang in the palace that day?" Now that the wine has been brewed, bring it with you, and after the hunt, you will have the meat and game, please drink it! I don't know where the hunting ground is? ”

"Camp Hill." Hou Sheng said with a smile: "In Jiang Qi's former capital, Yingqiu." ”
