Chapter 265: Clear
Wu Yingying listened to Zhou Shu's introduction expressionlessly, and when he came to Jiujiang, he remembered more of Hu Ze, the commander of the Tiande Army who lived and died in Jinling. Because of his image, Hu Ze was martyred in Jinling, and Jiujiang was without Hu Ze, but there was still no shortage of heroes who insisted on resisting the enemy. Although Ke Chang tried his best to resist the Song army, the losses caused to the Song army were not large, and Cao Han, who originally commanded the Song army to attack Jiujiang, was also transferred by Cao Bin to besiege Jinling in advance. Therefore, the current Jiujiang still maintains the prosperity since the Southern Tang Dynasty.
After Zhou Shu left, Wu Yingying asked Zhang Zhongyao: "Where is the former residence of the late commander of the Tiande Army, General Hu in Jiangzhou?" Zhang Zhongyao knew that he cherished his old friend, and said in a deep voice: "The former residence of General Hu has been classified into the Jiangzhou prison camp, which is specially designed to accommodate traitors and criminals who are assigned from all over the country. However, General Hu mostly lived in the military camp and the state capital, and rarely lived in the old residence. That barracks was stationed with the Imperial Forbidden Army. Wu Yingying was gloomy when he heard this, Hu Ze was loyal to state affairs, but he was martyred in Jinling, and he didn't even find the body.
When he returned to the dormitory, seeing that Huang Wen was also sad, Wu Yingying put down his mind and asked softly: "It's a happy thing to go back to my hometown, what's upset?"
Huang Wen looked up at Wu Yingying, already full of tears, and cried in a low voice: "When my father took my mother and I out of my hometown, passing by Jiangzhou City, my mother felt sorry for me, and begged my father to stay in Jiangzhou for a few days, and take me around the city to play. It's really unfilial. After speaking, she sobbed in a low voice, she suffered a military disaster when she was young, her parents were killed, and she was plundered into the palace, the child's memory was originally blurred, and after repeated changes over the years, the appearance of the parents in the memory gradually blurred. Today, when I returned to my hometown, I desperately thought about it, the clearer the old scene was, the faces of my father and mother seemed to be farther and farther away from me. Wu Yingying can stop and go along the way, but since he has come to Jiangzhou, it is only a stone's throw away from Xunyang, but he can't stay, but he has to be resolute and resolute, and ordered Jiangzhou Zhizhou Zhou Shu to accompany him to Xunyang the next day to issue gold plaques, royal couplets and other things. Zhou Shu wished that he would quickly hand over his errands, so he naturally obeyed his fate.
The Jiujiang Wu family is a big family that has been enshrined in the past dynasties, and it is very familiar with the reception of Qincha. There are Wu clan people in Xunyang County to greet Qincha, the closer to Wujia Village, the road is more smooth and clean, mulberry trees are planted all over both sides, children carry bamboo baskets on their backs to pick mountain fruits in the forest in the middle of the mountain, a group of pastoral scenery.
"When the ancestor Wu Wang led the clansmen to come here, it was still a barren mountain and a wild mountain, and the Wu clan was calloused, and Fang Shi created today's situation. Wu Jingliang, who greeted Qincha in Xunyang County, proudly introduced: "In addition to mulberry trees on both sides of this road, there are also flower and fruit trees such as peach and cai planted on the hillside, and it is a rare beauty to bloom in spring." ”
Jiangzhou Zhizhou Zhou Shu also smiled: "Exactly, ordinary villages, each operating their own land, that heart to create such a beautiful scenery in the world, only the Yimen Wu family, where 3,000 people live together, has such courage." These Jiujiang Wu Clan's Four Uniques, I don't know if Lord Qincha has ever heard of it?"
Wu Yingying saw that Wu Jingliang next to him had a reserved look on his face, and he knew that Zhou Shu had scratched the itch, and asked knowingly: "Huh? There is still such a statement, and I ask Lord Zhou to teach me." ”
Zhou Shu, as a local parent official, was very proud of having such a moral model in the world under his rule, so he said: "These four must be the top shelf in front of the hall without an owner, and the three-year-old child does not know his mother." The husband does not listen to his wife's partiality, and the farmer does not understand the hardships in the fields. Seeing Wu Yingying's puzzled and attentive look, Zhou Shu said even more proudly: "There is no owner of the shirt on the front shelf of this hall, what is said is that the clothes placed on the front shelf of the hall are owned by the whole clan, and the clothes are all depending on whether they are needed. ”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Wu Yingying said curiously, looked sideways at the top-grade silk shirt on Wu Jingliang's body, and said with a smile: "If Brother Jingliang's high-quality clothes are also hung in the front of the hall?" Although his question is a little sharp, it is also a question that guests who visit the Wu family often ask when they hear the section "There is no owner in front of the hall", Wu Jingliang explained with a gentle smile: "This shirt is also hung in front of the hall, but the Wu family's righteous door, the reception of the upper affairs are all presided over by the lower, and it is rarely taken by others to wear. Wu Yingying smiled and arched his hand at him, and said in his heart, since this person who receives guests has special clothes, then the other full-time stewards and the elders of the clan naturally have their own things, although they are hung in front of the hall, no one dares to take them. It's like the car allocation of small units in later generations, although it is not stated that it is for the boss, but no one will have a big head to ask the boss for the car keys. This seems to be a fair method, but it is just to engrave the possession of objects in people's hearts according to their ranks.
Zhou Shu smiled secretly in his heart, this guest who came to visit the Wu family in Jiujiang for the first time always did not believe that there was a family in the world that carried forward the way of Confucius and Mencius to such an extreme, but he was always impressed, he also enjoyed the process of watching others be subdued, seeing that Wu Yingying no longer spoke, he continued: "This three-year-old child does not know his mother, and the babies in the clan are all placed together to nurse, regardless of you and me." As long as a child cries and asks for milk, any woman with milk will feed her, and after a long time, the child will naturally not tell who is his mother. When he had finished, he smiled so badly. Wu Yingying said in his heart that this principle is similar to that of nursery schools in later generations, except that even the lactation period of female workers has been deprived, so that more people can participate in labor.
"The husband does not listen to his wife's partiality, and the farmer does not understand the hardships in the fields. It is said that the children of the Wu family of this righteous family are naturally very well educated by the ancestors of the Wu family, but the women who marry in with foreign surnames are not, and the son says, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise", so the children of the Wu family should not listen to the words of their wives. The men in the clan go out to plough the fields together every day, return at sunset, and at the end of the year, all the income of the whole clan is in the warehouse, and the three thousand people in the clan cook and drink together, beat the drum and pass the meal, and the family has no selfish stove, and it is a person without complaints. Wu Jingliang continued to explain quite decently.
This Wu Jingliang has a fair face and a bulging belly, obviously not a person who often works in the fields under the scorching sun, Wu Yingying smiled: "Brother Jingliang is not going to bully me, you look like this, you are obviously a scholar who has been reading books since childhood, and you are a person who has to work in the fields every day." ”
