The sound of the piano is loud, and there is a woman's singing voice singing in a low voice: "The wind is old and the warbler is chickling, the rain is fat and the plum, and the noon yin is round and round." The pen is www.biquge.info the land is close to the mountains, and the clothes are moist and the furnace is smoked. ”

In a small courtyard in the middle of the city, the spring light is just right,

Four women sat cross-legged on the seat, or playing the harp, or playing the flute, reflecting the red flowers in the warm sun.

Among the flowers, Lu Benzhong held the wine cup in his hand, interrupted the singing woman with a smile, and said: "Xiao Tao, the "Man Tingfang" by Zhou Meicheng that you sang just now is very good, you can hear it, you have also studied lyrics and music before, and the old man has always forgotten to ask you what your origin is. ”

The woman named Xiao Tao smiled: "Back to the old man's words, Xiao Tao was originally from Xuzhou, and was bought by her mother since she was a child and raised in the building. After General Kong hit Xuzhou, he robbed the concubine, and now he has asked me to serve Mr. Hou. ”

"Then it's no wonder, I just said that your lyrics and singing voices are so good!" Lu Benzhong put down the cup in his hand and said, "Your talent is good, but this word is poorly sung." ”

Peach: "Please also ask sir." ”

Lu Benzhong said: "On the surface, this song "Man Tingfang" is written about the pleasant scenery of late spring and early summer, the wind makes the warblers in spring grow, the summer rain makes the plums fat, and the round shaded ground under the dense trees at noon. The terrain is low-lying and close to the mountains, and the clothes are damp and always need to be dried by fire. The people are silent, the crows are carefree and happy, and outside the small bridge, the newly rising green water is turbulent and splashing. For a long time, relying on the railing, the yellow reeds and bitter bamboos are all over the place, which is really good, and you only sing it as a work of writing scenes. It's a pity that the first half of the sentence of the Pan-Jiujiang boat is literary. Zhou Meicheng compared himself with Bai Juyi, who was demoted to Jiangzhou and wrote "Pipa Xing". Inherit the loneliness and desolation of the second half of the run. ”

"With this sentence, there will be a later year, such as Sheyan, drifting in the Hanhai, to send repair rafters."

"Little Peach, you sing long and timelessly, and even with joy, if Zhou Meicheng knows under the spring, he must be alive."

Hearing him say something funny, the other women burst out laughing.

Zhou Meicheng is the famous genius and poet Zhou Bangyan during the Xuanhe period of the Great Song Dynasty.

Xiao Tao also playfully stuck out her tongue: "It seems that the concubine sang wrong, although the concubine also has a master in the building, and she has also studied for two years." But before I learned anything, I went to war, thank you for your advice. ”

"It's not your fault." Lu Benzhong smiled: "It has been many years since Zhou Meicheng offended Cai Jing and Cai Yuanchang in his later years, and he was belittled in the state, this poem is not widely circulated, you are a little girl, how do you know the old things in the DPRK and China?" Back then, I happened to study in Bianliang, and I happened to meet Meichenggong a few times. This was more than 10 years ago, and it looks like a big dream in retrospect! ”

Seeing Xiao Tao's cute appearance, Lu Benzhong couldn't help but reach out and pat her shoulder.

Xiao Tao took a breath of cold air, and a painful look appeared on her face.

Lu Benzhong couldn't help but ask: "Little Peach, is the injury on your shoulder still painful?" Don't worry, since you and your sisters have come to serve the old man, stay in the future, the old man will not let you suffer those hardships again. ”

Xiao Tao had tears in her eyes: "The kindness of the old gentleman, Xiao Tao is unforgettable." ”

Several other women also bowed: "Thank you, sir."

There is a bite mark on Xiao Tao's shoulder, and the bone is deeply visible, which was left by Kong Yanzhou a few days ago.

When Lu Benzhong asked Kong Yanzhou for a beauty, the surname Kong would ravage the woman who was about to be sent out, and he refused to send it over without tossing it half to death, and he didn't know what kind of mentality it was.

The surname Kong is a beast, and until now, Xiao Tao is still covered with scars, especially the private place, which is even more miserable.

Compared with Kong Yanzhou, although Lu Benzhong is old, he is a humble gentleman and loves all the women. Today, he promised to take in everyone, and everyone was extremely grateful in their hearts.

Lu Ben Center was also emotional, helped them up, and comforted them one by one.

At this time, an entourage came in: "Master, someone from my hometown has come, saying that it is your distant cousin, and I heard that you are in the city, so I have come to defect."

"Cousin?" Lu Benzhong asked: "Can you report your name?" ”

"He said his surname was Chen Mingda."

"It turned out to be him, but the old man has such a cousin, let him in." Lu Benzhong waved his hand and motioned for the women to retreat.

After a while, Chen Da walked in. The head of the Sizhou Military Judge Advocate General's Office dressed up as an outsider today, and when he entered the study, he twitched his nose and inhaled vigorously. After a long time, he smiled: "The fragrance strikes people and knows that the day is warm, Mr. Donglai Yan is thin and fat, he is really a romantic person, and he is a model for my generation!" ”

Lu Benzhong is a Taoist, he is used to being serious, and he has always looked down on Chen Da, a former villain, and asked with a cold face: "Wang Junenvoy has received a letter from the old man, if there is anything to write a letter to, why did you come here for a special trip." If Kong Yanzhou knew about it, wouldn't it be making trouble for the old man? ”

When he came to Kong Yanzhou, he brought a cage of pigeons, and he used flying pigeons to communicate with Huangzhou on weekdays.

Everyone in Huangzhou was trembling when they saw Lu Benzhong, a famous man, and they were very attentive when they spoke, but Chen Dahun didn't care. He smiled and said, "Old gentleman, my old gentleman, I didn't expect you to make such a big move here in Qi Chun, and scared Dao Sigong." The general was going to write a letter, but after thinking about it, Huanggang didn't have two steps to get here anyway, so he sent me over to talk. After asking, I'll go back. ”

Lu Benzhong: "Oh, Wang Shen has received the letter written by the old man. ”

"Yes, I received it last night." Chen Da smiled bitterly: "Old gentleman, old gentleman, you don't know that my general already has a heart, and he won't marry a little lady." Also, General Yue Yingxiang is the first fierce general under Wang Jun's envoy, and he has something to rely on, sir, is this to provoke the discord between the general and Yue Yingxiang? Besides, it's inconvenient for us outsiders to ask about the general's family affairs, and Mr. decided on this marriage without consulting the general in advance, isn't it? ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Benzhong stood with his hands behind his back and sneered proudly: "Wang Shen asked Laifu to delay Kong Yanzhou's ten-day attack on Huanggang, since the old man is here, he naturally has to do everything." The marriage between the two families is certain, and Kong will inevitably be slack. As for whether his Wang Daosi's house is peaceful, what does it have to do with the old man? When the time comes, it doesn't matter if he marries Miss Kong or not. ”

Chen Da smiled bitterly, unable to speak.

Lu Benzhong: "You came here today for this?" If there is nothing else, you can step down! ”

Chen Dacai asked: "The general wants to ask, which daughter of Kong Yanzhou is the marriage that Mr. is talking about?" ”

Lu Benzhong: "It's Kong Yanzhou's second daughter, fourteen years old, just the right age." As for the others, the eldest was only nine years old, and the youngest was just a full moon. Even if Wang Shen wants to marry other women, it is not in accordance with the etiquette law. By the way, this Miss Kong Er's brother is Kong Yanzhou's eldest son, Kong Xian. ”

Chen Da nodded: "It turned out to be Kong Xian's sister-in-law, okay, I'll go back to the general." ”

Bidding farewell to Lu Benzhong, Chen Da hurriedly left Qishui County, took out the stored horses from the farmer's house, jumped all the way and galloped, and came to a small hill ten miles away, and saw Wang Shen and Hu Yantong and several other people riding war horses standing on the top, and there were several bloody corpses on the ground, obviously the scouts of Kong Yanzhou, who had just been killed by them.

Seeing Chen Da, Wang Shen laughed: "Chen Da, in the two hours that you were away, you looked around, and you also attracted these few eye-opening whites, and it was troublesome to kill them." I don't think this Kong Yanzhou's soldiers are very good, they are really Wen Tian and Wu Huan, a group of waste. Earlier, when I was waiting for the disguise to be redressed in the Kong Yanzhou barracks, I happened to meet the enemy's officers who were doing pre-war mobilization, do you know what the officers said? ”

"Ah, the general has slipped into the army of Confucian thieves?" Chen Da was taken aback.

"yes, it's not a big deal." Wang Shen couldn't help laughing: "The officers said to the soldiers that this battle is going to be fought anyway, and no one can hide from it, so we must be ready now." The army is like a dog, we will bite whoever the master tells us to bite. In this battle, we can't say a way, but if we don't fight it, the Sizhou army will fight it. ”

Hu Yantong and others were also very happy.

Hu Yantong wiped his tears and said: "Even if we used to be in the left-behind division, and the boss said that there was going to be a war, we would send some money down and promise a reward, so that everyone would use their lives." Kong Yanzhou is good, and he talks in the vernacular. ”

"We are also mobilizing in Sizhou, and everyone knows that this Qihuang is our home, and if the homeland is occupied by the enemy, it will be a tree without roots. The truth of what to do in the event of life and death is clear to all soldiers. The thief army is so mobilized, no matter how fierce the morale, we have already won this battle without fighting. ”

Wang Shen nodded: "Yes, the duty of a soldier is to guard, to protect the homeland, to protect what we should protect, relatives, etiquette, and our civilization." Chen Da, you went into the city to see Mr. Donglai just now, what did he say? ”

Hearing him ask, everyone turned their heads to look at their commander and listened.

To be honest, they had just learned about Lu Benzhong's self-proclaimed marriage with Kong Yanzhou in the name of Wang Shen, and they were all shocked in their hearts. Everyone knows the love and righteousness of Wang Shen and An Niang, and they also feel that this fact is absurd.

Chen Da hurriedly told him about the situation of meeting Lu Benzhong before.

Wang Shen's heart moved, touched his nose, and muttered: "I have long known that Kong Yanzhou has a deep relationship between father and daughter, but I don't want him to have so many daughters." Moreover, the woman that Old Man Lu said is Kong Xian, the sister born to the same mother as the heir of Kong Jiajun, which is interesting. ”

The four words of father-daughter affection are ironic.

Wang Shen: "Chen Da, write a letter, and the flying pigeon will pass on Mr. Donglai." ”

"Yes, General." Chen Da immediately took a bite of the test basket from the horse case and took out the four treasures of the study.

Wang Shen: "Write to Mr. Lu and ask him to tell Kong Xian that I should come down for this family business, and let him communicate with Kong Xian more in the past few days." ”

"Ahh Everyone let out a low cry in unison.

Wang Shen smiled: "It doesn't matter if you coax Kong Xian, the soldiers are treacherous!" ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and joked, if this marriage was really agreed, wouldn't Yue Yun make a fuss?

Wang Shen then said to Chen Da: "One, you can use this marriage to slow down the heart of the thief and the army; Second, the marriage can be used to use the fate of Miss Kong Er, so that Kong Xian can mediate between the two families, so that their father and son will be separated. Make the Confucian family suspicious of each other and divide it. ”

Chen Da asked suspiciously: "How to make the Confucian family suspicious of each other and divide them, and the subordinates are stupid and can't see that this matter has anything to do with the general's marriage." ”

"Leave it alone, just write it. With Mr. Donglai's talent, he will know when the time comes, and he will know what to do. ”

"Yes, General." Chen Da was inconvenient to ask any more, so he only lowered his head and wrote a few lines, wrapped it into a small paper roll, and stuffed it into the copper pipe on the pigeon's feet.

As soon as they let go, the doves fluttered into the sky.
