Text Chapter 5 Carriage and Horses Weep
"What? Have to wait? Don't you see that the two horsemen have already passed? Aren't we just for the two of them? Could it be that there is still someone coming from behind? Then why can't you see anyone? ”
Zhu Hui listened to what the monk next to him said, so he was puzzled and asked.
The monk said lightly: "Amitabha... Just now, the Tan lord said that the two horses were the king's flag. He bears the banner and comes for the king's command. The monk turned to him as he spoke, and just now he pointed out the two horsemen as the king's flag, and Ah Zhuo bowed slightly with his hands together.
When Ah Zhuo heard what the monk said, he knew that the monk must know the inside story. So he asked the monk, "I must know where these two horsemen came from?" If I'm not mistaken, these two horses should be from which royal palace in this prefecture. Right? ”
The monk nodded slightly and said, "Amitabha, what Lord Tan said is true." These two horsemen are indeed the royal flags of Honshu County. ”
"King?! Wang fu?! Then, the two men who rode past just now... Is it for the prince to run an errand?! ”
Zhu Hui couldn't help but exclaim. After all, even in the realm of Xiaozhou, there are several kings. Those princes can say that they are the kings of heaven in the state, who dares to provoke? Even the gentry and government in the state are all trying to curry favor with each other.
I heard that in the state, they want to go to the imperial capital of Zhongzhou and set up a business shop. If you don't have those princes, you can't get some help from them, but you can't open it! And the state can go to the imperial capital of Zhongzhou and run a trading shop. They are also well-known in the state! But no matter whose business shop it is, it will go to Zhongzhou Huangjing. But they all sell the same thing, which is the fur in the forest.
In my own family in my township, I have a cousin. It is to help a scholar in the state who is in the imperial capital and has a business shop. Listen to him say that the skin is good or bad! As long as it is a leather, as soon as it arrives in the Huangjing shop, it is a piece of silver! His master's business shop in the imperial capital is really more than a day of money. And the princes who have a part in the shop only occupy a part of the name, and they can get a lot of money every year without caring about anything! The scholars have to pay for their own money, and they have a share in the business. It can be seen how capable this prince is!
"Amitabha, what Lord Tan said is right, those two officials are the ones who do errands for the prince."
The monk recited a Buddha name and replied to Zhu Hui.
Zhu Hui stretched out his hand and patted it, and his head woke up and said, "No wonder! No wonder! It turned out that these two people were riding horses and carrying flags, and they were doing errands for the prince on the boundary of this prefecture! No wonder we have to make way for others! People are doing errands for the prince! ”
"Humph! Only now do you know? I didn't say it all just now, those two horseback men are the king's flag? How? Your neck and head are stiff. Even your ears? ”
Ah Zhuo took the opportunity to ridicule Zhu Hui.
"Uh... Hehe~ Don't really say it~ You, what did you just say? In the past few days, we have been out of Xiaozhou and come to the boundary of this prefecture. There is no shortage of mountain roads! There were also many days in the evening, and they camped beside the mountain road and rested. This mountain wind pours into my ears day and night, and my ears are really a little... Hehe~It's not good~"
Zhu Hui still looked like he was still arrogant, and he climbed up the pole in vain, blocking Ah Zhuo's road.
"I..."
Ah Zhuo saw that Zhu Hui grabbed his words again, and said something without skin and face, his ears have been poured into the wind for the past two days, and it is not very easy to use it. But he immediately felt a fire in his heart, and as soon as he opened his mouth to say the word "I", there was no follow-up.
He was really lazy, and he was talking to Zhu Hui. This rough man's ability to rely on his face is really superb. No matter how reasonable you are, if you talk to him a few more words, you can turn black into white, and white into black. What a scoundrel and hateful!
"Brother Zhu! Azhuo! Look, you two! Ahead, there's a car coming in front! ”
Just when Zhu Hui still wanted to be angry again, he didn't want to entangle Ah Zhuo with him. Xin Huzi, who was still holding the water scoop, suddenly pointed to the faint black dot in front of him.
"What? There's a big car ahead? Where?! Let's see! Let's see! ”
When Zhu Hui heard Xin Huzi's words, he was immediately interested again. He no longer continued to entangle with Azhuo. Turning his head, he looked at the black dot that appeared faintly in front of him, and he couldn't see it clearly. This look is inevitably stunned, where can I see the big car that Xin Huzi said? At such a distance, you can see the hell! Even if the one that came vaguely in front of it was really a big car as Xin Huzi said... Then you have to wait for the car to come to a close enough distance to see it! How Huzi... Could it be, this kid...
"Hey! ~Toilet! You're not authentic! Playing brother? What's the big car? What can you see from that distance? Even if it's so far away, who can see it? ~”
As Zhu Hui spoke, he took Xin Huzi and the water scoop in his hand back again. So he handed it back to the monk who was still standing beside him. But after the monk took the water scoop, he looked at it with some surprise, still looking at Xin Huzi who was dark in the distance. So he said to Zhu Hui: "Amitabha... What this Tan Lord said just now is true... Although the poor monk did not have such good eyesight, he could see what was coming from afar. But if the poor monk guessed correctly... It must be this Tan Lord, the chariot and horse that I just mentioned..."
"Uh... Really, really a carriage?! ”
When Zhu Hui heard that even this monk said that if he didn't guess wrong, it must have been a chariot and horse. But I couldn't help but look at it too, and gradually approached the black spots that were getting closer and closer to them. In addition to them, other soldiers stood on both sides of the road. They are also discovering the faint black dots ahead. They all looked at the black dot.
Some people guess that the faint arrival is still some horseback riding man who is galloping past like just now. And some people guessed that it was the same as what Xin Huzi saw just now, it was a big car heading here. Some of the soldiers were idle and made bets on this speculation.
Under the conjecturing gaze of the soldiers, the slowly approaching carriages and horses gradually came into the eyes of the soldiers. As the carriage and horses arrived, the whispers of sobbing were incessant. But in this line of cars, there are some crying girls!
The eldest is only eleven or twelve years old. The younger ones are eight or nine years old, or even six or seven years old. These little girls are all dressed in red clothes that are better than them and very inappropriate. The clothes are also sewn from good materials, with dark diamond patterns. Some older girls still have copper hairpins on their heads. But it is very incompatible with the messy, unkempt hair.
In addition to the girls in the car, there were two middle-aged women dressed in gorgeous costumes sitting on each car. These middle-aged women sitting in the car, as long as they saw their cars, the girl was crying a lot. will wave the rattan in his hand and slap it at the crying girl.
Some of the girls who were beaten were so scared that they didn't dare to cry loudly. Some of them were in pain and cried even more. Those who are very scared will sobble quietly. And the one who cries so much will be smoked by the middle-aged woman again. Until the crying girl knew that the more she cried, the more she was beaten by the rattan in the hands of the middle-aged woman, so that she didn't dare to cry out louder. But even so, there are still some female babies, who can't help but cry loudly after enduring it for a long time.
Accompanying these carts were dozens of horseback men dressed in red clothes and wearing swords at their waists. But they are all born with big shoulders and round waists, and they are not easy to get along with at first glance. These men riding on the unified red horse saw the soldiers who were also dressed in red clothes on both sides of the retreat. But they all showed disdain in their eyes. Some of them also deliberately whipped the horses when they rode their horses past the soldiers, so that the horses could not help but speed up their hooves when they sat down. So as to bring up bursts of dust, so that the military and Han can eat a lot of dust for no reason.
And among the horseback riders, the most conspicuous is the famous, charitable-looking long-bearded old man. The old man was wearing a black folded Huayang scarf and a two-yi cloud robe. Holding the reins of the red horse in one hand, and holding the orb in the other, the white tail of the dust. The end looks like a fairy wind bone. At this time, there is a man in a famous costume who looks like him. While he was talking and laughing, under the escort of many horseback men, he came with a cart carrying a girl and a child.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable~"
When the long-bearded old man was passing by, standing next to the monk who gave Zhu Hui and draught under the stone wall of the retreat. But he couldn't help waving the dust in his hand, and his voice sounded loudly. But it provoked the monk standing next to Zhu Hui, and he couldn't help but look at the figure of the old man who passed in front of him, with the cart and many horseback men, and walked away, showing a little displeasure on his face.
"What's this? What's the matter, what's going on in this car... Why are you pulling so many female babies? Where is this going? ”
"Phew! Who knows where they are sending so many girls?! I just know! Those horseback riders just now were so unreasonable! There is a good way not to go! I want to pass by my side! The evil old man ate the ashes of his broken horse's hooves! What a fucking bad luck! ”
"Hey! Okay, you! You're fine! ~See? Just the unlucky ones in front. ~Hey! A man on horseback happened to be on his horse and stepped on a small puddle on the side of the road. The mud and water splashed on those unlucky people. ~ Didn't you just eat a handful of ashes? Compared with the mud splashed in front, isn't it gone after two slaps? Be content with you! ~”
When the group of cars gradually walked away, the soldiers and men standing on both sides of the road all talked in private. It's just that I think it's strange that the car is carrying so many crying and crying girls. He was even more indignant at the man on horseback, who was so unreasonable and rode his horse to the dust.
"It's weird! We... Won't it just be for these few cars, pulling the girl's cart to make way? Look at the girl in the car crying... How can it be like robbing?! And the girl in the car who saw her crying badly, it was a woman who was sucking hard... It reminded me of what, the bustard woman who taught the little lady in the flower building! ...”
Zhu Hui looked at the line of cars and riding paths that gradually moved away with a little frown.
"Amitabha... Aren't you the masters of Tan who make way for these chariots and horses? The two kings' flags paved the way for the heads of these chariots and horses. ”
