The wind and snow are like knives, Chai Shao is wearing a coarse cloth coat, with a bamboo hat on his head, driving a tattered ox cart, slowly walking out of the winding and narrow Lishan mountain road, and turning onto the flat official road with snowflakes, the snowflakes fall all over the hat, and the coarse cloth long coat stuffed with reeds does not have much effect on keeping out the cold, and the severe cold freezes Chai Shao's face into iron blue.

There is no servant, the old cow pulling the cart is borrowed, and the cart that is about to fall apart is loaded with the furniture of the summer courtyard built in Lishan when the old Chai family was prosperous, the courtyard has now changed its surname, the new owner of the old furniture does not want it, Chai Shao is reluctant to throw it, so he borrowed this ox cart to pull the old furniture down Lishan, ready to be transported back to the new home in Daxing Chang'an Fang, for the use of the father and family who are paralyzed in bed, although these furniture are old, but for the new home with four walls, it is a good thing that is urgently needed - many things, It's really only after you lose it that you know how precious it is.

The famous bridge Baqiao on the Bashui River has been in sight, and Chai Shao, whose hands have been frozen, can't stand the cold, just put his hands to his mouth to warm up, but his dull eyes suddenly moved, because Chai Shao suddenly saw that two rich sons in fresh clothes and angry horses were rushing from the Baqiao Bridge in a noisy fight, followed by a group of family servants, carrying swords and bows, carrying cages and birds, and leading hounds to carry flying eagles. Although they were still far away and didn't see clearly who the two rich sons were, Chai Shao still hurriedly lowered his head, worried that he would be recognized by any acquaintance.

The horse carried the two rich sons very quickly, just listening to their frolicking voices, Chai Shao already knew their identities, knowing that one of them was Yuan Qi, the grandson of Shunyang County Gongyuanya, and the other was Li Yangcheng, the youngest son of Li Zhongwei, the prince of Zhenxiang County, all of whom were his former playmates, I don't know how many times as now, I rode horses and swam with myself, hunting rabbits, fighting cocks and dogs, merry and happy, Chai Shao used to like to do this with them, but now, Chai Shao didn't want to see them, to be precise, he was afraid to see them.

I tried to keep my head down and want to hide, but the more I dodged, the more I couldn't dodge, I don't know how many times Li Yangcheng, who had been ridiculed by Chai Shao, was as bad as ever, riding a horse on a flat and wide avenue, and he couldn't even control the mount, and slammed directly into Chai Shao's ox cart, almost knocking the tattered ox cart apart, and Li Yangcheng himself almost fell off the horse. In the past, Chai Shao must have laughed loudly and recklessly, first laughing at Li Yangcheng with Yuan Qi and then talking about it, but this time, Chai Shao refused to even say a word, and lowered his head a little lower.

It's useless to be patient, Li Yangcheng scolded Chai Shao for not having long eyes, and at the same time, Li Yangcheng brought the hunting family also scolded and rushed up, and a horse riding family directly whipped Chai Shao's body, scolding: "Blind your mother's eyes? I almost knocked our son-in-law down, why don't you roll down and kowtow to our son-in-law to make amends? ”

The whip was drawn very hard, it hurt Chai Shao's body, and it also hurt Chai Shao's heart, which made Chai Shao suddenly remember a sentence, "Don't bully the young man to be poor." ”

Another whip came, and directly whipped away the hat full of thick snowflakes, and after seeing Chai Shao's face under the hat, Li Yangcheng, who had already rolled up his sleeves and was ready to do it himself, suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Sichang, why are you?" Stop it! Stand down for me, this is the eldest son of Julu County, Chai Shaochai Gongzi! Don't want to die? Why don't you make amends to Mr. Chai? ”

Raising his head very reluctantly, Chai Shao squeezed out some smiles with difficulty, and said to Li Yangcheng and Yuan Qi: "Yangcheng, Brother Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here unharmed?" ”

"Okay, we're all good." Li Yangcheng nodded hurriedly, and asked curiously, "Brother Sichang, why are you dressed like this?" What's wrong? Didn't I hear a few days ago that you joined the army and went to King Qinwang in Yanmen? When did you come back to Daxing? ”

Hearing Li Yangcheng's series of questions, Yuan Qi on the side laughed directly, and Chai Shao's face was flushed with cold, and it took a long time before he replied reluctantly: "It's been a while since I came back, I resigned from my position in the army and came back to do some family work." ”

"Resigned from a position in the army? How can you give it up?! Li Yangcheng was taken aback, and asked with an exaggerated expression: "Didn't you hear that junior brother, Brother Sichang, didn't you make a lot of meritorious service this time?" Even Chen Yingliang, the commander of King Qin's army, was full of praise for your appearance, and personally praised your merits to His Majesty the Emperor, your future is immeasurable, why are you willing to resign from your position in the army? ”

The frozen stiff hands immediately clenched the joints white, and slowly removed Li Yangcheng's face with a strange smile in his eyes, forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, and said in a reluctant voice: "I don't like the affairs of the military camp, and I have committed criminal laws in the Eastern Capital, so I feel that it is not interesting, so I resigned from the school lieutenant and returned to Daxing." I still have something to do, let's go first, Brother Yangcheng, Brother Yuanqi, I'll meet again. ”

After that, Chai Shao didn't even pick up the hat that was convulsed, and directly urged the ox forward, but fortunately, the family members brought by Li Yangcheng did not stop him, and Chai Shao was able to leave slowly, but before he could go far, Chai Shao heard the unbridled laughter from behind the car again......

"Bad! You're fucking bad! Knowing that people sold all their family property in order to raise money for his father-in-law's crimes, and deliberately stopped people from asking so much, you are directly slapping others in the face! ”

"What's wrong with the slap in the face? Do it yourself! Damn, if my brother-in-law could be as powerful as General Chen, Lao Tzu would have walked sideways in Daxing City! You Yuanqi meets Lao Tzu, if you dare not give way to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will come up directly with a whip! ”

"Fuck off, you're really fighting? As for your sister's ugly appearance, I don't want to marry me, and General Chen can also see it? Haven't you heard? Jiangdu Tongshou Wang Shichong is also a local magistrate, in order to marry General Chen, Leng is to give his only daughter to General Chen to make a partial house! ”

The insults and ridicule drilled into his ears one after another, and like needles, they pierced Chai Shao's heart one after another, hurting into his heart and lungs, making Chai Shao's liver and gallbladder broken, and two crystal tears gradually seeped out of the corners of Chai Shao's eyes............

Chai Shao drove the old ox and the broken cart slowly away, but Li Yangcheng and Yuan Qi were still chattering in place, they were not still laughing at Chai Shao, they were just waiting for a few companions to follow, and after a while, their companions chased up one after another, and they were all rich sons with family slaves, and then Li Yangcheng and Yuan Qi immediately grabbed one of the companions, and shouted: "Brother Dugu, your cousin and son-in-law went over just now, did you see it?" ”

"My niece-in-law?" The puzzled rhetorical question was a thirty-something man wrapped in a white fox fur, he was the nephew of Emperor Wen of Sui's wife, Empress Dugu, named Dugu Huaien, and a cousin who was somewhat close to Li Yuan.

"Of course it's Chai Shao Chai Gongzi!" Li Yangcheng laughed presumptuously: "Aren't you and Tang Guogong cousins?" He is Tang Guogong's son-in-law, isn't he your cousin-in-law? ”

Surprised to know that it was Chai Shao who drove the broken oxcart past just now, Dugu Huaien not only did not sympathize at all, but also spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm at Chai Shao's departing back, "Phew! Dead Star! My cousin's family was miserable by this puppet! If it weren't for his dog's eyes and low eyes, my cousin would have gone bankrupt? ”

Seeing Dugu Huaien's angry appearance, a group of powerful children suddenly laughed more presumptuously and loudly, and between laughing, a team of slaves of eagle lackeys rushed to the bridge, the number of which was as many as 100 people, and the attitude was also very arrogant, and the first two were even more luxuriously dressed, both in their thirties, one with a full face and a fierce appearance, and a thin face with a gloomy expression, but they were the two precious sons of Yu Wenshu, the first person in the Great Sui military, Yu Wenhua and Yu Wen Zhihe, Li Yangcheng and Lonely Huaien and other powerful children did not dare to slack off when they saw them, and hurriedly dismounted to greet them.

"Huh? How are you? Yu Wenhua, who was full of meat, reined in his war horse and asked in surprise, "You also come to hunt?" ”

Li Yangcheng hurriedly nodded, saying that a few of his good friends had agreed to come to Lishan to shoot and hunt today, Yu Wenhua was immediately happy when he heard it, and grinned and said: "What a coincidence, my second brother and I also temporarily decided to come to Lishan to shoot and hunt, and by the way, soak in Xingchen Tang (the name of a hot spring in Lishan), since we met, let's go together, and I will invite you to drink in a while." ”

The children of the powerful and powerful applauded, completely ignoring Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi's current household registration status is just a slave, scrambling to be the first to pat the Yuwen brothers' ass, one praises Yu Wenhua's fox skin clothes are white and pure enough, worth a thousand gold, and a praise Yu Wenzhi's tall war horse, which is a famous species, laughing and noisy, not dispersed for a long time, and the slave family they brought also crowded the wide official road to the point that it is impassable, passers-by dare not speak angrily, pedestrians detour, cars and horses stagnate, Wait patiently for this group of evil young people to end the noise and then get out.

"In the end, it's still the majesty of Brother and Brother Zhi." Dugu Huaien exclaimed: "Little brother, I still grew up in the imperial city, and I only have about twenty followers in and out, except for swords and hunting bows, I don't dare to bring any decent weapons, for fear of being caught by the imperial historian." That's like the two Yuwen brothers, they can bring hundreds of followers when they go out of the city to shoot, and they even bring military crossbows. ”

De Dugu Huaien reminded that Yu Wenhua and his brothers brought hundreds of entourages, indeed carrying more than a dozen military crossbows with the seal of the Wei Mansion, everyone was envious, and quickly patted the sycophants, Yu Wenhua laughed, and said: "Of course, I don't know anywhere else, in the land of Jingzhao County, there is no second official who dares to shoot with so many retinues and such weapons to our brothers!" ”

The sound of wild laughter stopped abruptly, because Yu Wenhua suddenly found that the slap in the face was coming - east of the official road, a richly dressed rich boy, riding a pure white war horse with a taller and divine horse, was trotting towards this side with great pretense, and behind him, there was a larger number of retinues, and what made Yu Wenhua even more unbearable was that the weapons and equipment of these entourages were even better than his entourage equipment, each of them carried expensive swords, bows and crossbows, The color of the feather arrows is even more pretending to be snow-white!

Just now he boasted that no one dared to compare with his brother in the land of Jingzhao, and when the rich boy rode a horse and ran closer, Yu Wenhua was even more furious, it turned out that this rich boy was still born with clear eyebrows and handsome facial features, fair skin and oily hair, which happened to be Yu Wenhua and the most hated little white face type! After hearing the flattering gentleman who was still surrounding him just now, Yu Wenhua and Yi became angry, and quickly put the horse horizontally, directly stopped the middle of the avenue, Yu Wenhua and the family servants brought with him understood, and immediately lined up, completely blocking the road, and many family members also pulled out the horizontal knife directly.

The action of drawing the sword aroused the vigilance of the little white-faced entourage, and a tall black-faced knight with a burly figure immediately stepped out of the crowd, commanding the entourage to protect the little white-faced, while shouting, "Who are you? What do you want to do? Why block our path? ”

"Uncle, who am I, and what can you ask?" Yu Wenhua and the vicious asked fiercely, and pointed to the little white face that he hated how he looked at it, and shouted: "Bah! Boy, you are not small, outside this Daxing City, you dare to walk with so many followers? Who do you show off? ”

Xiaobai's face didn't answer, and he shook his head very strangely, muttering that Daxing and I are really in trouble, why do you have trouble every time you come back? Then he smiled at Yu Wenhua and arched his hand: "This son, you misunderstood, the younger brother is not showing off, bringing so many followers, the younger brother also has a last resort, if there is any offense, please forgive the son." Also, the younger brother has an urgent matter to return to the city, please ask the son and the servant to get out of the way. ”

"It's okay to give way, first report your father's name and official position, and let me see if you are qualified to let me give way." Yu Wenhua said in a big way.

The black-faced knight was furious when he heard this, and just wanted to step forward, but the little white face stopped him, and said with a smile to Yu Wenhua: "Childe, my father has passed away for many years, and you must not have heard of his name, I don't think you need to report it, he doesn't have any official position, but the younger brother is a serving military attaché, and I ask Childe to make way, I really have something urgent to go back to the city." ”

"A serving military attaché? Are you a serving military attaché? ”

Yu Wenhua laughed wildly, Dugu Huaien and Li Yangcheng and others laughed even more when they heard it, and they scrambled to instigate: "Eldest prince, tell him to crawl under your crotch to see if he dares to steal your limelight?!" ”

After listening to the instigation of the crowd, Yu Wenhua really turned over and dismounted, spread his legs and stood in front of the road, and said with a wild laugh: "Boy, give you a chance, crawl under my crotch, today's matter is over!" Otherwise, I will not only make you have no official position, but also make your head fall to the ground! ”

"Who are you? Dare to be crazy like this? The black-faced knight couldn't bear it anymore, pointed to the little white face with his thumb, and asked, "Do you know who he is?" Do you know what his identity is in our Great Sui Army? ”

"I don't care who you are." Yu Wenhua and said viciously: "Look at your little appearance, it's amazing that you are a six-seven-grade, give you a high estimate, even if you are a five-grade Guangde general and Hongyi general, if you don't climb today, I will also make your head fall to the ground!" ”

Hearing this, no matter how good Xiaobai's temper was, he couldn't help but show anger on his face, and Dugu Huaien said with a cruel smile: "Boy, if you are smart, climb quickly!" Do you know who this son is? General Zuo Yiwei, Xu Guogong, Yuwen Shu Yuwen Shangzhu Kingdom's eldest son! ”

"The eldest son of Yuwen Zhuguo?" Xiao Baimian's reaction was even more strange, not only did his anger disappear, but he immediately laughed out loud, "It turned out to be the son of Yuwen Zhuguo, no wonder, Brother Huaji, you found the wrong person this time, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, you are a family and don't recognize a family." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Yu Wenhua was confused, and everyone looked at each other, and the little white face waved his hand to let the entourage disperse, and rode his horse directly to Yu Wenshu, and said with a smile on the horse: "Brother Hua, I have admired the name for a long time, and I can see you today, and the little brother is really fortunate to have three lives." It just so happened that Uncle Yuwen also asked me to give you a letter from home, and I also said that I would see you again tomorrow, and it was a coincidence that I met today. ”

"Do you know my father?" Yu Wenhua asked suspiciously.

"Of course I do." Xiao Bai smiled and said: "Junior brother Chen Yingliang, currently in the position of General of the Right Wuwei, and your father Yuwen Zhuguo is the same general of the Sixteenth Wei Mansion as Brother Huaji, so we often meet." ”

"You ......, you are General Chen?" Yu Wenhua and the others all opened their mouths wide, looked Chen Yingliang up and down in disbelief, and couldn't believe that the legendary Chen Fuliang could be so handsome.

"It's like a fake." Chen Yingliang smiled and nodded, turned over and dismounted, showed his jade talisman, and said with a smile: "This is the jade talisman given to me by His Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can take it to watch." ”

Looking at the jade lin talisman in Chen Yingliang's hand dumbfounded, Yu Wenhua and fell directly to the ground with a plop, and the gentleman next to him also quickly took a few steps back, and finally came back to his senses, Yu Wenhua and before he could get up from the ground, he had already opened his arms and hugged Chen Fuliang's legs, and begged: "General, I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, today's matter, you must not tell my father, and you must not let the emperor know!" I was originally guilty, and if His Majesty and my father knew, I would be even more miserable. ”

Chen Yingliang is stupid to offend Yu Wenshu because of such a trivial matter, while asking his entourage to take Yu Wenshu's family letter to Yu Wenhua and handing it over, while holding up Yu Wenhua and kind words to comfort, patting his chest to promise that he will not meet Yu Wenhua and general knowledge, in the end, Chen Yingliang also took the initiative to ask Yu Wenhua and his brothers to be commensurate with him, and by the way, he also met Yu Wenhua and a few fox friends and dog friends, and talked with them very gracefully, and also stood in the perspective of Yuwen brothers and called them brothers, without putting on the new shelf of the young man, moved a group of gentlemen who were not treated well at home to the point that they almost cried, and hated themselves for getting acquainted with Chen Fuliang too late.

Hypocrisy and politeness, Chen Yingliang, who was in a hurry to go home to pick up his wife, hurriedly said goodbye and left, Yu Wenhua and his brothers and the people hurriedly gave way, and respectfully bowed to see Chen Fuliang leave, Chen Yingliang's team had already walked through the bridge, and the Yuwen brothers and the people who were bowing had not yet gotten up.

The matter is not over, after sending Chen Yingliang away, Yu Wenzhihe, who is treacherous and cunning by nature, said to Yu Wenhua: "Brother, it is false for my father to ask Brother Ying Liang to bring us a letter, let us take the opportunity to have a friendship with Brother Ying Liang, Brother Ying Liang is so polite to us and interesting enough, we can't help but express it a little, we have to find a way to give him a pleasure." ”

Yu Wenhua nodded again and again, and hurriedly started the brain cells that were squeezed by the muscles and there were not many left, thinking about how to please Chen Fuliang, and Li Yangcheng next to him couldn't wait to build a yì and said: "Brother Yuwen, it's not easy to make General Chen happy?" He was bullied so badly by Chai Shao's bastard at the beginning, and now that he is a nobleman, it is definitely inconvenient for him to take action in person, let's go and clean up Chai Shao and give General Chen a bad breath, can he still be grateful to us? ”

"Great idea!" Yu Wenhua and clapped his hands.

"Good idea, I'll go too!" Dugu Huaien, who was unlucky to get close to Chai Shao, also clapped his hands and said: "I like Brother Ying Liang, I went with you, and beating him Chai Shao is equivalent to breaking off the relationship with him, and you can rest assured that you can be friends with Brother Ying Liang in the future." "Your Majesty knows! I was originally guilty, and if His Majesty and my father knew, I would be even more miserable. ”
