Chapter 44: Famous Men (Ask for Recommendation)

Han Sui waved his hand and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, hurry up!" This matter is Yan Xing's own fault, no wonder the virtuous son-in-law, and a little bit of injury, it will be cured after a few days, and there is no need to mention this matter! ”

Brother Xiao Ma felt proud when he heard this, and he secretly twisted the halberd rod to shatter Yan Xing's shoulder blade, and only the person concerned and himself knew. At this time, Yan Xing was seriously injured and did not wake up, this diorama would definitely not be dismantled on the spot, and he immediately got up and said with a guilty face: "The little son-in-law is ashamed, why don't you transfer the dowry given by your father-in-law to your brother-in-law to apologize?" ”

Han Sui said unhappily: "The virtuous son-in-law's words are wrong, before the little girl, I promised to give her the golden armor of the dragon as a dowry, Meng Qi and the little girl have become husband and wife, how can there be any reason to transfer the little girl's dowry?" ”

Ma Chao was in awe when he heard this, and he was also moved in his heart, he didn't expect this Miss Han to care so much about herself before her death, and even asked for the family heirloom as a dowry. In the era of cold weapons, the meaning of a piece of armor is extraordinary, it is a life-saving thing on the battlefield, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an ancient body armor.

"What the father-in-law said is very true, it is the son-in-law who lost his words!" After Xiao Ma finished speaking, he respectfully took a rectangular sandalwood box from Han Sui's hand, and then gave a deep salute.

Although there was a small episode, Han Sui's prestige among his subordinates was extremely high, so the matter did not further expand. Brother Xiaoma's father and son would not make any extraneous complications, and the two families were polite again, and then asked the sergeant to carry Miss Han's coffin and set off all the way to Wuwei County.

After a few miles, more than a dozen horsemen suddenly chased after him and sent a roll of rice paper and two brushes, but there was not a word other than that. The little brother who was in contact with the two little Loli in the carriage was puzzled, and when he opened the scroll, he saw a pair of wild grass, and the ink was still dry, and he barely saw a five-character ancient poem written on it after careful identification:

The wind invades Huquan,

Fubo is passed down from generation to generation.

The chest is amazing,

Wu Luo Ding Guoan.

Xiliang Ma Mengqi,

Haojie is the crown of the world.

General Tenjinwei?

People say "Jinma Chao".

The forty characters are written very sloppily, but they are extremely beautiful and atmospheric, like a spring rainbow drinking stream, and a floating pool; It is like a fertile fog, and the frost is shaken off. Turn the essence of it, the body of the word is often made of a stroke, occasionally not connected and the blood is continuous, and its connection, the climate through its interlacing, if it is not for the little horse brother has a lot of research on calligraphy, he can't recognize these lines of words at all.

"Why is the husband so surprised? It's a letter from my father-in-law! "Yang Wanguo has the temperament of a lady, her words and deeds are generous, and although she is young, she has a mature bearing. Dong Xuan seemed to be much more twisted, and kept peeking with a red face on the road, if she didn't talk to her, I was afraid that she would be so shy that she didn't say anything all the way.

Ma Chao was very satisfied with these two concubines, and immediately handed the rice paper to Yang Wan, frowning and said: "That old gentleman is really a calligrapher, this kind of cursive is difficult to find in the world, and it is impossible for a husband, I am afraid that only 'Zhang Youdao' and Cai Bojiao can compare with it!" ”

Yang Wan has been good at writing since she was a child, and when she took it over, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise, read it gently, and looked at Ma Chao with an excited expression: "Husband really doesn't know the identity of that old gentleman?" ”

Brother Xiaoma's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "No, this old gentleman is my Xiliang celebrity, the contemporary great calligrapher Zhang Zhi and Zhang Boying!" ”

Yang Wan smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of neat little white teeth, and said crisply: "Fujun Wencheng and Wu are all amazingly talented, how can you guess Zu Weng's identity until now?" Didn't the husband know that Mr. Zhang was the father-in-law of his father-in-law? ”

"Sure enough!" Ma Chao suddenly realized that he had vaguely guessed the identity of this old gentleman before, but he was not sure.

About Zhang Zhiqi person, proficient in calligraphy Xiao Ma brother can be said to know a lot, he is the first master in the history of Chinese calligraphy, the word Boying, is a native of Yuanquan, Dunhuang County, Liangzhou, the year of birth is unknown, died in 192 AD. Zhang Zhi's achievements in calligraphy are extremely high, creating a precedent for cursive writing, and later generations called him "Grass Sage", and later Zhang Xu was called "Erzhang". Even the sage Wang Xizhi highly admired Zhang Zhi's calligraphy and regarded himself as a student.

In addition, Zhang Zhi is diligent in learning the ancients and is indifferent to his career. The imperial court is one of the two most outstanding calligraphers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and its reputation is extremely prosperous in contemporary times. But Cai Yong is not only a calligrapher, but also a family, a historian, a musician, a painter, and a master of the "five families". As for the founder of regular script, Zhong Xuan was still unknown at this time, and it did not emerge until the period of the Three Kingdoms.

Knowing the truth of the matter, Brother Xiao Ma couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and secretly hated that Yan had ruined his good deeds, otherwise he would have been apprenticed on the spot. Learning calligraphy is secondary, and achieving great fame is the most important thing, you must know that Zhang Zhi's fame in Shilin is not in the slightest under Cai Bojiao, Kong Rong, Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and other great Confucians.

In this era, fame is more important than anything else, and when the princes have fame, it is easier to recruit talents. Ordinary people have fame, it is very easy to enter the office, and since then, they have soared and become extremely popular. Although Xiao Ma has the shadow of General Fubo and the prestige of breaking the Southern Huns, he is also very easy to be regarded as a martial artist, which is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to him.

Yang Wan stared at Shui Lingling's big eyes, as if she had guessed Xiao Ma's thoughts, and chuckled: "Don't be annoyed, the concubine was by Zu Weng when he wrote this poem, and there are many literati around him who have seen the masterpieces of Fu Jun and Zu Weng, coupled with the good story of exchanging ink treasures with Zu Weng, I believe that this matter will spread all over Dahan Shilin in less than half a month." ”

"Is that true?"

Yang Wan glared at Brother Xiao Ma mischievously, and said coquettishly: "Husband doesn't know, although Zu Weng's name is extremely prosperous, but there are very few Mobao who will go out, this time not only took the initiative to send you Mobao but also specially inscribed praise." From the perspective of the concubine, it is impossible for the husband to be afraid that he will not be known. After a pause, he said: "In addition, Lord Zu Weng is still the master of the world's pen, this wolf pen and rat pen are rare treasures, it seems that his old man really appreciates his husband very much!" ”

Brother Xiao Ma was overjoyed, hugged Yang Wan and kissed her the red mouth, Yang Wan, who only kissed, was flushed, and she didn't dare to raise her head after struggling to escape.

Brother Xiao Ma was in a good mood, he made a lot of money by marrying a ghost as a wife this time, and completely won over Han Sui, not to mention that he also earned two delicate little Lori, and abolished Yan Xing, who was quite a threat to himself, and got the dragon and gold chain armor that Ma Chao did not get in history. The most important thing is to get acquainted with Zhang Zhi, a literary tycoon, and learn from his mouth where the heirs of papermaking are, and the benefits are simply too numerous to mention.

Goodbye to Dong Xuan, who was shy, Brother Xiao Ma gave full play to Uncle Se's true colors, stretched out his arms and hugged him into his arms and said with a smile: "How can the husband favor one over the other, let's also be fragrant!" After that, he took away the little Lori's first kiss very savagely, and a big hand "inadvertently" touched a soft little grape.

Dong Xuan "snorted", broke free from the clutches of Brother Xiaoma as if he had escaped, and said boldly: "The concubine is already a general, please have mercy on your husband!" ”

Brother Xiao Ma smiled: "Don't worry, the two ladies, you are not yet in time, I am only twelve years old, although I have the name of husband and wife, but it will take a few years to really perform the ceremony of husband and wife, I naturally know this in my heart." ”

In order to alleviate the boredom of the long journey, Brother Xiao Ma ignored Ma Dai and Ma Tie, who were guarding for him outside, and sat in the carriage and began to tell stories to the two little Lori. From "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" to "Du Shi Niang's Angry Sinking Treasure Chest", in the end, I didn't like the short story, and directly talked about "The Legend of the White Snake". He was originally eloquent, and with the ability to never forget, he explained quite the style of Shan Tianfang in later generations. Only coaxed the two little Loli to be intoxicated, like a dream, sometimes smiling, sometimes sad, sometimes crying

When they arrived in Wuwei County on the third day, the three of them were already very familiar with each other, and Brother Xiao Ma also successfully deceived the hearts of the two little Lori.

When he returned to the Ma family, he naturally had to hold a feast according to the gift of marrying a wife, and there was an endless stream of people from all walks of life who came to congratulate him, and even Dong Zhuo, who was in Chang'an, sent people to send congratulatory gifts, praising Xiao Ma's filial piety. That night, Brother Xiao Ma entered the cave room with a spirit tablet, and a shrine was set up in the new room for placing the spirit position, and there were couplets written by him on both sides.

As for the identities of Yang Wan and Dong Xuan, they are the dowry maids and the identities of concubines, and the gift of taking concubines is feasible or not. Because the status of the concubine is extremely low, unless the woman's family status is extraordinary, the husband's family can even not recognize the kinship relationship, let alone the kinship with the woman's family.

But the two generations of the Ma family have declined, and Ma Teng's generation has just improved a little, plus Ma Teng and his wife are simple people, so although the two little Lori are concubines, they are treated better than the wives of a large family. In particular, Ma Chao's biological mother Zou is very fond of the two daughters, and specially arranged several maids to serve them, and Ma Yunlu, who is more than six years old, finally found a playmate and was overjoyed.

Three days later, Han Ying's coffin held a burial ceremony according to the ceremony of the Ma family's daughter-in-law, and her name was written into the genealogy of the Ma family. The two coffins were buried side by side in the Ma family cemetery, and Xiao Ma successfully completed this unprecedented yin marriage ceremony with his hair and body.

What Brother Xiao Ma didn't know was that his filial piety of marrying a ghost as his wife and marrying a yin marriage on behalf of his body had already spread from Xiliang. After everyone's additions, the incident turned into a touching love story.

It is rumored that the two have been married since childhood, and they are actually a pair of childhood sweethearts, but God is jealous, and Miss Han died unfortunately when she was married. Ma Mengqi, who lost his lover, was heartbroken, decisively rejected countless matchmakers who came to the door in advance, and vowed to marry a ghost as his wife. Coupled with emotional prayers and elegiac couplets, the story of Xiao Ma Ge marrying a ghost has become the Han Dynasty version of "Liangshanbo" and "Zhu Yingtai".

In addition, Brother Xiaoma's plagiarized Liangzhou words have also spread all over the land of Xiliang, which is especially popular among the military, and is rapidly spreading to the territory of Dahan. And Brother Xiao Ma was respected by the great calligrapher Zhang Zhi, and the fact that he was personally mentioned by "Zhang Youdao" to write a hymn was spread in the big ** month.

It can be said that Brother Xiaoma's trip to marry a ghost this time is simply a "name", "sex", and "profit".
