Chapter 10: Crazy Life (I)
The main street of the county
The road is full of all kinds of stalls on both sides, now it is the melon and fruit month, all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits are dazzling, people carry burdens, carry baskets, hold dustpans, or stand, or flow, or find a place to set up a stall and shout loudly, you come and go, so lively.
Xie Yu was walking around the street with Zhao Ziwei and two entourages in civilian clothes, witnessing that the fiefdom was so prosperous and everyone was full of energy, but he couldn't help but admire this county order and Zhang, and the Gu family ran this place so well.
Not to mention that they secretly communicate with the thieves and the court against each other, and govern the county like a paradise in the troubled times with the power of the two clans, this credit is indispensable, as a big family, full of talents, and Sun En, that is, most of the people in the clan are dissatisfied with the status quo, and there is no way to say that the court suppresses them, and the huge Jin Dynasty goes south, and brings so many dependent northern tycoons, it is natural that it will alienate them.
Because compared with the four major families in the south and the four major families in the north, the strength is simply scum, in this era of power and force, your strength is not comparable to others, even if the family is strong, it is difficult to get ahead, not to mention the ranking of Gu Lu and Zhu Zhang in the Three Wu period, and in the Eastern Jin Dynasty Zhang Zhu Lu Gu, the decline of the first place to the last place is completely caused by political short-sightedness.
On the other hand, the Zhang family can become the first from the last, and there are not a few officials in the family, although there are very few people who hold real power, but this is a political turnaround, and the family has far-sighted watchers.
And the county is so rich, there are too many cats in it to express to people, which is equivalent to saying that they blatantly let the thieves plunder everywhere, causing a scene of war, and they are here to leisurely secretly control the force, to say that there are only more than 100 soldiers in the city to defend the city, just to give the court face, in fact, this place should have a lot of private soldiers in a few years, sharpening knives.
When Xie Yu thought of this, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, this kind of ruthlessness of borrowing a knife to kill others is really not something ordinary people can do, and the Zhang family, who is now leading other families, must occupy a dominant position in this matter, thinking of Zhang Yu who he saw yesterday, he was interested in his heart and wanted to visit.
"Plums, plums, sweet plums." A wealthy woman next to her shouted for sale.
"How do you sell this plum, and how does it look like a peach??" Xie Yu asked curiously.
When the woman saw someone asking, she smiled and said, "The son is a foreigner, this is our specialty here, peach-shaped plum, sweet and refreshing, only thirty wen a catty." ”
At this time, the weight system still followed the unification of the Qin State after the baht, two, jin, jun, stone as the unit, twenty-four baht for one tael, sixteen taels for one catty, thirty jin for one jun, four jun for one stone.
"Okay, let's get a pound~"
The woman was picking up the fruit, and suddenly there was a loud "pop" in front, and the nervous Zhao Ziwei and the two entourages were about to draw their knives, Xie Yu hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, and looked forward, only to see a young man in white rushing out of a restaurant, holding a long sword, chopping indiscriminately, looking at the broken jar under his feet, he must be a good drinker, and he was drunk, so he started to drink crazy.
"This boy is drunk again." The woman weighed the fruit well, took thirty five-baht coins, and muttered.
Xie Yu asked casually, "Do you know this son?" ”
The woman nodded and said, "This is the nephew of the Zhang family, I heard that he is from Ruyang County, and he has no relatives in the middle of the family, so he came to his uncle's house." ”
"The nephew of the Zhang family? But the big family surnamed Zhang in the city? ”
"Uh-huh~ that's, that's it~"
Xie Yu took out the peach-shaped plum and gave it to Zhao Ziwei and his entourage, wiped it clean, and took a bite, well~ It's really sweet and refreshing.
I saw that the scholar was waving a long sword and staggering towards this side, although two guys ran out of the building behind him that smashed the wine jar, but they didn't come up, shook their heads and went back, it can be seen that this person should be a rich man who everyone in this county town is unknown.
"Huh~, you have knives?" The scholar approached, saw Zhao Ziwei's waist knife, and said drunkenly.
Xie Yu squinted at the excitement, and the woman was really scared and picked up the basket and walked back: "This son, leave quickly, be careful of hurting you." ”
Before the woman's words fell, the young man in white raised his sword and stabbed, don't look at the unsteady pace under his feet because of drunkenness, but the sword made a sound, and the swift move made him see that this person was good at swordsmanship, not an ordinary practitioner.
Zhao Ziwei didn't have such skills, seeing that the sword was about to pierce in front of him, his frightened feet were weak, and he only felt that his body was suddenly pushed away, so he avoided the long sword dangerously.
The young man in white was intoxicated, and couldn't help but cry out in surprise, and looked at Xie Yu, who pushed away his own soldiers, and said: "Okay~ Good skills, come and compare~" After speaking, he was about to make a move, when two men dressed as servants did rush up behind him, hugged him and said, "Young master, don't make trouble." ”
The young man angrily shook off the two of them, pointed his sword at each other and said hatefully: "Thief, thief, you have no ability, don't kill Wei people, hold me and do nothing." ”
The servant seemed to be accustomed to this young master being so crazy, so he stepped forward and took the sword and said, "Young master, there is still good wine in the house, let's go home and drink it." ”
As soon as the young man heard that there was wine, he immediately said happily: "Okay, good, go home and drink~ go!" ”
One of them left slowly, and the other servant turned around and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry for the son, I'm not hurt." ”
Xie Yu smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you are the Zhang family?" ”
The servant nodded, "Yes, I don't know who the son is?" ”
"Xie Yu, I was drinking with your family master yesterday, and I just happened to visit Mr. Zhang, so let's go together."
The servant was stunned, and immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Master Hou, the little slave should die, the little slave should die, the young master is drunk and making trouble, I don't want to offend you, please spare your life, please spare your life." ”
When the woman heard that the young man who bought the plums turned out to be the Hou Ye, this is an official who is many times older than their county master, so many people in the city went to greet him yesterday, how could she not know, she quickly took out the thirty yuan and knelt down and said: "The slave family should die, I don't know if the Hou Ye is coming, this"
Xie Yu saw that he was kneeling down around him, and quickly asked the misunderstood servant to get up and said, "It's not hurt, blame you for what you did, quickly lead the way for Benhou." ”
When the servant heard this, he was still frightened in his heart, and he bowed forward in front of him tremblingly, and the ordinary people saw the Hou Ye leaving, so they stood up and teased the woman: "Sister-in-law Liu, these thirty dollars are rare, and burying them in the ancestral grave will definitely ensure that your family will get ahead!"
Before the woman's mind had yet to settle down, the do-good person laughed and replied angrily, "Then how about you exchange ten taels of silver with me?" ”
"Haha~haha." The man smiled and said, "It's beautiful! ”
This Zhang family's mansion is actually behind the ass of the Hou Mansion, but the gate is east and west, and if you want to visit, you have to go around in a big circle.
Xie Yu was following the servant up the steps in front of the mansion, and the young man was helped in front of him, and he heard a coquettish voice like a green warbler coming from inside: "Oh, why is my cousin drinking like this again, help me in." ”
Hearing the sound and seeing people, Xie Yu took his own soldiers to follow the servants into the mansion, and saw a girl in a pink skirt, with apricot eyes like beads, bright and naughty, and a delicate and heroic expression, especially a cinnabar mole between the two willow eyebrows, which added eight points of beauty, which made people secretly praise.
The girl was obviously going out with the maid, and when she saw her cousin being helped away, she turned her head and saw the handsome boy who was born in the plane, and took three attendants, looking at the servants bowing next to her, and said coquettishly: "Zhang Gui, this is"
Zhang Gui sweated profusely and said with a bitter face: "Miss, this is the county marquis, just now the young master was drunk and slashed with a sword, and he almost injured the marquis." ”
After hearing this, the girl raised her eyebrows, and said politely: "What, come to the door to ask for sin?" ”
Xie Yu was just visiting, talking, and seeing what news he could get, but he didn't want this Miss Zhang to not only be rude, but to ask herself with momentum, this can make Zhao Ziwei angry, he was embarrassed on the street just now, seeing that although this girl was born beautiful, she was indeed so rude, she took out a long knife and said: "Bold, don't kneel down!" ”
The girl was not afraid at all and said, "What, does Master Hou want to make a move on a weak woman?" ”
"Hey, mother's good, this little girl is very spicy." Xie Yu thought secretly, and the appearance of the gentleman appeared: "Look at the flower and moon appearance of your little lady, how can you see that Ben Hou does not salute, and aggressively strikes first." ”
When the girl heard this, she immediately said angrily: "Shameless, madman, why didn't my cousin kill you with a sword just now!" ”
As soon as Zhang Gui saw this posture, he immediately became stupid, and hurriedly ran into the mansion to report.
"Hey! I really don't know whether to live or die. Xie Yu dragged Zhao Ziwei's long knife, and with a "brush", he pointed at the girl's forehead and said arrogantly: "Come on, kill me?" Hmph~ Look at this Hou Ye to make your auspicious mole disappear. ”
"You dare~" The girl faced the long knife, obviously shuddering, but still said hard-mouthed, obviously a young lady from a family who had been pampered since childhood.
Xie Yu secretly laughed in his heart, he didn't want this Zhang family to have this young lady, he had lived for fifteen years, and everyone saw him with a respectful appearance, and the first time he saw this kind of woman, it was also very fresh.
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye, be merciful, merciful~" Zhang Yu saw the long knife on his daughter's front door from afar, and he was so shocked that he was heartbroken, he only had such a daughter, he was afraid of melting in his mouth, and he was afraid of burning in the palm of his hand, he was a master who was not afraid of anyone since he was a child, and he was notoriously spicy in Yan County, but today's arrogance was obviously the wrong master, seeing the other party's vicious appearance, the cold between his eyes, and a little cowardice in his heart.
Seeing that the old man ran over and "poofed", he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The little girl offended Hou Ye, and the crime deserves death, so I beg Hou Ye's subordinates to show mercy." ”
This qi is rolling out of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys with a bang.
