. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co
It's a rare sunny day, ten catties humming a song that others can't hear, holding a pot of freshly washed clothes in his hand, and going to his own house in the valley.
The river water in this season is cold, but it can't stop the people who are used to working hard, just now in the river slurry, so that her hands are red, of course, she can't feel the cold, being exposed to the winter sun, but feels that there is a heat on the body.
Raising her eyes and looking at the sun, the hour is not early, and she has to make food for Grandpa and Wu Pu, lifting her skirt and stepping into the valley, she can already see the antlers blocking the way under the arrow tower, and she can't help but slow down the frequency of her footsteps a little.
"Ten catties, what about washing the pulp again?"
The gap between the antlers was enough for people to pass by, and when ten pounds arrived, the person at the mouth of the valley said hello, and she knew that it was the archers in charge of this place, and this person was as thin as her clothespole, and it was easy to recognize.
"Hmm!"
After a little hesitation, ten catties still agreed.
"Tsk! Wu Pu, that kid is blessed! ”
"That's it, ten catties can be diligent, this little face is handsome, needless to say, the back stock is also warped, and it is good to give birth and raise!"
"People are still female doctors and craftsmen, after arriving in Luoyang, they can also have fifty acres of land, and in the future, Wu Pu's kid will not be able to choose a brave pawn, and he will also have a mother-in-law to support, but he is not happy!"
The soldiers beside Zhang Ma pole are not good, speaking of witty words to slip and slip, these years there are pimple big brother's "brave seven virtues" constraints, their hands and feet are cleaner, but the mouth is not to accumulate virtue, but no one takes it seriously on weekdays, but she is not easy to bully, and she dares to put the right with the married woman when she is spicy, and when she hears the last words about his future man, his heart is a little annoyed, and he has a cold face at the moment, and splashes the river water accumulated in the basin to the person.
"Shhh Before returning home, I twisted my clothes by the river, and there was not much water in the basin, but a few people who stood close were sprinkled, and a few drops of cold water floated into their necks, so cold that they gasped, and their mouths were even more fierce: "On the day you get married, Lao Tzu has to make a lot of trouble (note) and listen to the corners of the wall!" ”
"Wu Pu, that kid can call you ten catties?"
"Hehe, it's just over for the New Year, right? It's coming! ”
Ten Jin Qiao's face was slightly red, but he was still not to be outdone, glared at him fiercely, snorted again in his nose, lifted the wooden basin and turned around.
"Da Da Da!"
At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves galloping in the distance outside the valley.
Zhang Ma Gong was smiling and watching them playing, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Be careful on the arrow tower, there are cavalry coming!" ”
"Brother Zhang, don't worry!" An auxiliary soldier with good ears smiled and said: "Listening to the sound of hooves, it must be our people who should have nailed the horseshoe!" ”
Another burly brave soldier relied on his qualifications and said with a smile: "No, besides, with the Fukou and the pot in hand, who can quietly go outside our valley?" ”
Su Gu almost succeeded in two sneak attacks, so people forgot about it? Zhang Mazhu's face turned cold, and he said sharply: "It's always a big difference to be careful!" ”
Seeing that the team leader raised his face, the soldiers did not dare to refute, and raised his spirit in his reprimand, the knife was unsheathed, the bow was wound, and the ten catties hesitated, stopped and looked out of the valley.
The sound of horses' hooves was very urgent, and it didn't take long for more than 20 knights to rush into sight, and the sharp-eyed archers on the arrow tower were the first to see clearly, and shouted loudly: "Team Zhang, it's Mr. Zitai's return!" ”
"Mr. Zitai?" Zhang Ma Gong asked in his mouth, and after a while, he also saw a young scribe in the cavalry, could it be Mr. Tian Zitai, not lazy and Huo Dao'er next to him? Are they back? Busy also shouted: "Quickly open the antlers!" ”
Ten catties tightened his heart, Mr. Zitai came back, is the team going south?
A group of knights approached, greeted their acquaintances, and when the antlers had moved away, and rushed into the valley like a whirlwind, she hastened to the side of the road, and stretched out her hand to cover the basin, so that the dust raised would not cover the laundry.
Seeing Tian Zitai and his entourage passing, Shijin was a little uneasy, and he hurriedly walked towards the valley.
"Ten pounds, ten pounds!"
She walked in a hurry, and someone shouted twice in front of the house by the roadside before she heard it, and when she turned her head to look, it was the white woman Roche.
"Uncle Bai, is there something wrong?"
"Alas!" Luo was in his thirties, sighed first, and then said: "But wait until you, my Liu Xuan's child has another disease on his leg, and I have to ask you to take a look, that kid is stubborn, he only believes you, and others don't let him see it!" ”
Bai Shi has a lot of stability since he beat Deng Pimple and suffered a military stick together, he and the woman Luo Shi already have children, but he took in an orphan among the refugees, named Liu Xuan, only nine years old this year, but a disabled person, when he fled to the mouth of the mouth, his left leg was useless, and it was Bai Shi who carried him into the valley.
That kid recognized people a little, the first leg injury was ten catties to show him, and he only recognized her as a doctor, and no one was allowed to touch it.
"Okay, I'll come when I get home and get the medicine box!"
Liu Xuan's leg hurt badly, but he couldn't delay, and he hadn't done the food yet, so he hurriedly replied, said goodbye to Luo, raised his feet and moved forward, but he always had something on his mind, and when he arrived at the side of the barn, he couldn't help but stop and look, and more than 100 teenagers were still shouting and shouting and wielding their halberds vigorously.
When the farming was already slack, after the new rules of the fourth-class people were introduced, the teenagers practiced martial arts more diligently, and they came in the daytime.
Seeing Wu Pu carefully in the crowd, she opened her mouth, thinking about the importance of seeing Liu Xuan, and talking about her family affairs at night, she shook her head and continued to move forward.
In front of the house, Gu Laoyan was sitting there knocking on the chicken coop, and a few local chickens were leisurely pecking at small pebbles on the ground beside him.
There are enough chickens fed in the valley, the year before last, Deng Pimple went door to door to divide some chicks, and now there are six hens and a rooster left, the rooster is slaughtered at the beginning of the year after a few days, and the hen is reluctant to eat, and he wants to go south to Luoyang, and he is reluctant to lose it, Gu Laoyan has to be busy making it before going south, and he can bring it then.
"Grandpa!"
Ten catties exhaled from afar, put down the wooden basin, and went to the house to find his own medicine box.
"I'll go to Bai Shi's house for a visit, and I'll do it later!"
"Don't be in a hurry to eat," Gu Laoyan stopped his movements and said, "But how did you discuss that matter with Wu Pu?" ”
Ten Jin stopped and said dejectedly: "He said that he was not in a hurry, wait a little longer, but I saw Mr. Zitai return today!" ”
"That's going south?"
"Hmm!" Ten catties are also a little anxious: "I don't know if the first year will be successful!" ”
Gu Laoyan said: "Oh! You go to see a doctor first, and when Wu Pu returns, let's sum it up! ”
Ten Jin nodded, carried the medicine box and rushed to Bai Shi's house, Liu Xuan's leg could no longer be cured, but he prescribed medicine to relieve his pain, and then coaxed, and came back after a while.
Wu Pu has also returned home, first wringed out the clothes with ten catties to dry, and cooked meals together.
Gu Laoyan's family has all ages, but Wu Pu is only fourteen years old, and there is no strong family in the family, but it is not cheap for the fourth-class people, and there are many men who want to support his family, but they have not agreed here.
Now Gu Laoyan's heart can be high, according to the fourth-class civil law of Deng Pimple, ten catties is already a female doctor, and she can also get fifty acres of land after arriving in Luoyang, Wu Pu, this child will also enter the brave in the future, two is a hundred acres, how can these strong men enter his old man's eyes, and he is afraid that others will be greedy for the fields of the two children and give birth to different intentions, all of them refused.
Of course, there are a few people who come to ask for a group of people in the family who can rest assured, the best is the Deng Zhong family, the family lacks the old and the young, and is the pimple brother, you can rest assured that he will not be greedy for ten catties and Wu Pu's field, but no matter how you say it, it is also under the fence, how to say that this old bone can last for a few more years, if it is not for the death of the fourth-class people, Gu Laoyan will never want to form a household with other families.
"Wu Pu will be fourteen years old after the New Year, and ten catties will be enough, and when you get to Luoyang, you two will get married first!"
After thinking about it, Gu Laoyan still opened his mouth to say his own words, after the two became a family, they were considered adults, and there was room to speak about family affairs.
"Yikes!" I was teased by the men at the mouth of the valley before, and when I heard Grandpa say this, my face suddenly turned red when I was ten pounds, and I felt uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but say: "Grandpa, he is only fourteen, and a man from a big family needs a weak crown to get married!" ”
"That's a big family!" Gu Laoyan drank a sentence and said, "Besides, when Wu Puman is twenty, how old are you?" ”
Ten catties didn't dare to fight back, and when he squinted at Wu Pu, he saw that he was smirking, but he was beautiful, and he couldn't help hating in his heart, gritting his teeth and secretly pinching his arm.
The hand was grabbed by the young man, and then he couldn't pull it out, and his face was flushed when he was ten catties, I don't know if Grandpa saw it, he was in a hurry, and suddenly heard the little man say: "Listen to Grandpa, after arriving in Luoyang, I will get married to ten catties, and Brother Kuo'er will not stop me!" ”
This guy is getting more and more faceless and skinless, ten catties glared at him twice, but he heard Grandpa say: "Besides, when Pu'er is sixteen, after all, he will be a brave soldier, and it is good to have a son and a half daughter before!" ”
Although Gu Laoyan didn't make it clear, Shijin understood it in his heart, turned his head to look at the little man again, let him hold his hand, and didn't say anything after all.
Tian Zitai has returned, and the matter of going south is imminent, and the marriage is decided, and the so-called discussion is just that the family lasted until dark before going to Deng Zhong's house to settle the matter.
Fortunately, Deng Zhong is arrogant, and he has been in the valley for a long time, and he is unwilling to pick people to form a household at will, so he has not yet responded to others, so he is waiting for his family.
Note: Confucius described the wedding scene at that time in the Book of Rites: Zeng Ziwen: "The house of the married girl does not stop candles for three days, and thoughts are separated; Marry and return to the house, three days without fun, thinking of heirs. It reflects the simple habits of the pre-Qin wedding, and there is no noisy and noisy scene. After entering the Han Dynasty, the social economy has made great progress, and people are no longer satisfied with the old-fashioned and dull old-style weddings, and no longer stick to the ancient precept of "three days without fun", and begin to do a big job, so that the wedding is covered with secular festive colors. "Han Dynasty Wedding and Funeral Customs Examination": "And the guests often drink and laugh, words and deeds are unscrupulous, such as the new house in recent times, the Han Dynasty has existed. ”
