Peiguo is located in Yanzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pei County, where it governs, is the place where Emperor Liu Bang raised his troops.

In the history of the Han Dynasty, whether it was the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, Pei County had a very special status. However, in this dynasty, wars were frequent, beacon smoke broke out, and Pei County was also withered and sparsely populated.

Ganjia Village is located in Pei County, fifteen miles away from the county seat, and is a gathering near the official road leading to the county seat.

There are more than a dozen families in this village.

In the evening, the village is filled with smoke and dinner is ready.

At the entrance of the village, there is a family.

The house is a simple mud-walled house with three rooms in a row. The middle room is a hall house, and on either side are the living bedrooms. Outside the house, it was fenced off.

At the entrance of the hall, there sat an old woman with gray hair. She was hunched on her back, her head bowed, holding a dustpan, and she was picking wild vegetables. Although she is old, the old woman's spirit is very good, her eyes are not dazzled or deaf, and she is very energetic.

To the left of the door, is the place to cook.

A young woman is cooking on a fire.

The woman's clothes were coarse linen and patched, and they were very shabby.

She stared at the door of the stove and added firewood to the stove without hurrying.

Although the woman was born poor, her face was happy and hateful, although she was without makeup, she was like mutton fat and white jade, and she was extremely beautiful. Her skin is like jade, and there is a touch of luster in her white skin. Her eyes were bright and shining. A pretty melon seed face, revealing a hint of charm.

The woman's name was Ganmei, her mother died at an early age, and her father and brother were conscripted into the army and never returned.

At home, she and her grandmother are the only ones left to rely on each other.

Gan Mei smelled the aroma of rice coming from the pot and said softly, "Grandmother, the porridge is almost ready." ”

"Well, the dish will be picked right away."

The old woman smiled kindly, and her face covered with traces of wind and frost was full of pampering. Only the grandparents and grandchildren are left in the family to depend on each other, and the granddaughter is filial and virtuous, and she is also very fond of it.

For the old woman, her granddaughter is the root of her life.

The old woman suddenly stopped, with a soft smile on her face, and said with a smile: "Girl, this morning, when you went to the mountains to collect firewood, Zhang Yu's father from the neighboring village asked someone to come to the matchmaker." ”

"Zhang Yu, this young man, the old woman has inquired, he is gentle and down-to-earth, and he is an honest man."

"You follow him, you won't be bullied."

Speaking of this, the old woman changed her words and said: "The Zhang family's family background is also good, there is a ploughing cow and a sow. I live in a house, not a house like ours. ”

"The Zhang family has a son of Zhang Yu, and the daughters have already married."

"Zhang Yu's parents are quite fair. Not only that, Zhang Yu's grandfather is also the village leader of Zhang Village, quite prestigious, and I heard that he is very capable. ”

The old woman chattered and continued: "If you marry in the past, you will not be wronged, and you will be happy." You are ingenious, you are also smart and clever, and after you go, you will definitely be liked by your in-laws. The old woman likes the Zhang family, it depends on what you think. As long as you want, I will call the other party back and agree to this family business. ”

Gan Mei shook her head and said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter promised her father that she would stay and wait for you." If the father does not return, the granddaughter will not marry. As for the marriage, when my father comes back, will I talk about it? ”

The old woman smiled and didn't care, "Silly girl, the man should get married, the woman should get married, since you have reached the age of marriage, you should get married." Before I came to kiss, the old woman was not satisfied. Zhang family, I am satisfied. ”

Gan Mei frowned, thinking about how to persuade her grandmother.

"Da! Da! ”

There was a rush of footsteps, and suddenly there was a sound outside the courtyard.

"Bang! Bang! ”

There was a knock on the door, coming from the gate of the courtyard.

The humble door at the entrance of the courtyard shook as if it were about to fall.

"Who?"

Gamme asked, got up and walked to the door.

"Master, I am a passer-by who is passing through here and going to Chang'an. Our son-in-law is unwell and wants to drink some hot water. So, ask the host for a pot of hot water. ”

Outside the door, there was a hurried voice.

Gan Mei opened the door and saw a smiling young man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks standing outside the door. His eyes were rolling slightly, giving him a slippery feeling.

The moment he saw Ganmei, his eyes lit up, and then he regained his composure, bowed respectfully, and said, "Passing by here, please make it convenient for the girl." ”

Gan Mei nodded and said, "Wait a minute! ”

She took the water bag from the young man's hand, went into the house and filled it with hot water, and handed it to the young man.

"Thank you, girl!"

The young man thanked him and turned to leave.

The distance from the entrance of the village to the official road is not far, and the young man will come to the official road after a while. A carriage was parked on the official road, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers in armor.

The young man with the monkey cheeks came to the carriage and said respectfully: "Childe, the water is here, please drink the water." ”

The curtain of the carriage door was rolled up, and a young man with a slightly pale face sat inside.

This person's name is Wei Ning, the word Zhongdao, a native of Hedong, and he is an envoy sent by Cao Cao to Chang'an.

Wei Ning originally recuperated in Hedong, because his brother Wei Qian served under Cao Cao, he had nothing to do, so he went to Yanzhou East County to play, and visited his brother by the way. It happened that Dong Zhuo sent an envoy to Dongjun to convey the order, and Cao Cao was inconvenient to go to Chang'an to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven, so Wei Ning Mao recommended himself and invited himself to serve as an envoy.

He took the water bag and took two sips of it before he felt a little more comfortable and no longer so cold.

The young man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks is named Wei Zhuang, and he is Wei Ning's entourage.

Wei Zhuang smiled, lowered his voice and said, "Childe, when the little one went to beg for water, he met a stunning beauty. Although this woman is dressed in shabby, she is naturally beautiful, and she is really a stunner. ”

When Wei Ning heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes. On his pale face, there was a touch of greed. He thought about it, but he hesitated, frowned, and said: "This time to Chang'an, in addition to congratulating the birthday of the Son of Heaven, I also ask for a kiss." If you do this now, you will be in trouble. ”

Wei Zhuang said: "The son is going to marry a wife, not a concubine." This woman was born poor, and it was already good to be accepted as a concubine. I think she is also having a hard time, and it is her blessing to follow her son. If she doesn't cooperate, hmph, there are means to make her obedient. ”

Wei Ning scolded with a smile: "You kid, you have a lot of eyes. ”

Wei Zhuang looked like a dog, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "What the villain does, everything is for the sake of the son." When Childe is happy, the villain's life will be comfortable. ”

"Well, go ahead! Don't make a big deal out of it. ”

Wei Ning flicked his sleeves, with a hint of hope in his eyes.

"Great!"

Wei Ning called two soldiers and quickly ran towards the village. It didn't take long for him to come out with Ganmei, who was constantly struggling. The people were stuffed into the carriage in twos and threes, and the group continued to hurry.

In the village, there was a wail.

The old woman lay in the courtyard, looking sad and weeping.
