The year, about 370 B.C.
In the previous year, Wei attacked Chu and took Luyang (now Lushan, Henan), and the salty pig hand reached the north of the city of Chu.
This is a good opportunity for the Ba people to take advantage of the fire to rob, but unfortunately the territory is not peaceful, the slavery system will always produce people who want to break through the cage, and several tribes adjacent to Shu have a slave riot, although the scale is not very large, but the impact is extremely bad, it is rumored that it is the ghost of the Shu envoy, Ba is busy pacifying the civil strife, flawless Chu.
It just so happened that the king of Chusu had to deal with other great powers on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was cautious in his foreign policy and adopted a policy of ceasing troops and resting the people, so Bachu withdrew his troops and the border was quiet.
The Pakistanis in the midst of the war are either preparing for a new war (including resistance), or in the midst of the war, or in the aftermath of the war, when the war becomes the norm, the truce has become the norm, and it is rare to have such a long period of calm this year.
"Sichuan Ze does not enter the net from time to time, and the length of adult fish and turtles", the people of Sanmiao Village, who regard Pangu Lake as their parents for food and clothing, also understand this truth.
It just so happens to be fishing season again.
In the summer of last year, Mrs. Pan had ten years of life, and Pan Furong, the owner of Sanmiao Village, ordered that fishing and fishing were not allowed in Pangu Lake within one year, so as to increase the longevity of the mother, and the main battlefield of fishing was transferred to Wujiang, and the harvest was far from being good in the lake. The people of Sanmiao Village, who take eating fish as a pleasure and an important thing, have long been eager for the fishing season to come soon.
Since the war was complicated, Mrs. Gu did not arrive at Pangu Lake for two or three years. Tho Huai suggested that he ask his wife to go to Pangu Lake again.
Mrs. happened to take a free time, took the dream language, went to relax, the master Qi Rui walked with him, and the guards and maids followed.
When they arrived at the mouth of Panhu, Pu Yancang had already led several war boats to greet him. The group got on the boat and headed for Sanmiao Village.
This warboat is not the largest one in Pangu Lake, but it is the newest one, with two floors above and below, specially unloaded combat equipment for a group of women, laid a smooth new linen carpet, and escorted by three small fully armed warboats in front and behind.
Pu Yancang accompanied his wife to look at the scenery on the left side of the second floor and talked, and the maid Astragalus was beside her. Dream whispers and the maids licorice and pear blossoms (like rain) are laughing on the right side of the boat.
Except for those who want to get the most out of the war, for ordinary people, in the war years, there is no scenery more beautiful than peace, even a short peace, and Madame has not been in such a good mood for a long time.
Boat on the water, the reflection of the jungle, flowers blooming on both sides of the river, wild things watching, water birds flying, fish swimming and shrimp playing. The oars sounded like music, and the sailor boatman sang while rowing:
White tiger boat, high and high,
Hang the big flag, the whole strong oar,
You ask me, what do you do,
Send my sister and enter Panhu.
Singing, not a pair,
When I met, I panicked.
Two singing, not in pairs,
When the night comes, it is difficult to sleep.
Three singing, not a couple,
Wild ducks, playing solo ......
Walking to the west of the sun, a boat master came from the head of the boat to report: "Madam, general: there is a boat in Sanmiao Village to pick up!" When the two looked forward, they saw three small boats, about thirty or forty zhang away, rowing downstream.
Yan Cang said: "Shout, let them lead the way!" Mrs. saw that the head of the boat master was more than eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and an ape waist, and a dignified appearance, about twenty-one or twelve years old, and was looking at herself, and she was a little familiar.
The head of the boat master agreed, and was just about to leave, when the lady said, "Are you Xiangyin?"
The man immediately stood firm and replied, "It's the last general!"
Madame smiled: "When you were young, I saw it a few times, and later in the mountain master camp, I also saw it, but you were still young at that time. On the day you got married, I was in Jiangzhou again, so I haven't seen each other for several years. I haven't seen you for a few years, and my appearance has changed somewhat, more majestic, more handsome, I guess it's you. β
"Thank you, Madame, for remembering the last general!" Xiang Yin was about to bow down, and Madame said that he would be exempt.
Yan Cang knew that Uncle Yu was very caring for Xiang Yin, and often asked about his situation, so he said: "The little general will talk to his wife, and I will go to Zhoutou to have a look, and I just need to ask Rui Ye in person." β
Madame said, "General, please take care of yourself." β
The lady turned to Xiang Yin and said, "Is it good to be in the camp at the mouth of the three rivers?"
"Thank you Yi Jun and Mrs., I am very good in the boat master, and I am now five hundred long, which is equivalent to a partial general. β
"You are the number one warrior in my clan, you have to ask General Yancang for advice, and you will become a great talent early. I often hear people praise you for your martial arts, and you will definitely become a generation of famous generals in the future. β
"Thank you Yi Jun and Mrs. for cultivating!"
The two continued to talk, and Xiang Yin saw that his wife was about thirty years old, with a moderate figure, a little fat, hair like black jade, and a snow-white hairpin made of ivory on her hair, beautifully carved, so that Xiang Yin couldn't help but want to take it off and admire it, and smell it. At that time, there were indeed elephants in the Xiajiang area, and therefore there was a legend of the snake swallowing the elephant.
Xiang Yin saw that his wife's face was like a bright moon, cut water and autumn eyes, her skin was better than snow, her words were elegant, her attitude was romantic, and her three-color bird-patterned brocade shirt of Shu Kingdom was just like a custom for her (Xiang Yin's imagination must be customized), outlining a plump and curvy figure, between speaking and breathing, ups and downs, driving the tattooed bird on his chest to fly or not, Xiang Yin imagined.
Goodbye to her earlobes ruddy, like a small piece of half-hearted circle of white red jade, but there is no common lady ear hanging beads, that is, there is no local people say "bell", I think her earlobes are more beautiful than any decoration, secretly thought: "She may not like those placket hanging, like natural." The real one is:
A branch of red dew condenses incense, the clouds and rain Wushan are in vain, the natural beauty is difficult to give up, and the peerless Ronghua is incomparable.
Xiang Yin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, and a trace of a woman's body fragrance hit her nose, and Xiang Yin suddenly felt hearty, but he didn't hear his wife's question clearly.
The lady said, "How is your family?"
Xiang Yin came to his senses and said busily: "Mother and wife are very good." β
"It's not a matter of months and days before you get married, are you pregnant?"
Xiang Yin smiled: "Not yet." β
"Your father died early, and you are a single passer, this is a big deal, and you still delay what to do!"
Xiang Yin replied casually: "Don't dare to delay." The words felt a little weird, and added: "My wife has already chosen all the nicknames first." β
Madame smiled: "You see, she is more sensible than you." What's the name?"
"If it's a boy, it's called Yueming, and if it's a girl, it's called Yuehong. The lady smiled and said, "What a good name I have obtained, I just hope to give birth soon." Xiang Yin nodded, indicating that he would work hard as soon as possible.
The lady said, "The girl is very good in the name of flowers. β
"My wife likes the moon and the moon is red, so she took this nickname, and she said it was good to shout. β
Mrs. said: "This name is good! There is a hibiscus and Ruilian in Sanmiao Village, but for some reason the youngest daughter doesn't need to be named after flowers." β
"The last general does not know any of this. It seems that it was born when the moon was full. β
Madame reached out and grabbed the clump of hair wrapped in the back of her head, which made Xiangyin feel very tempting.
Hear her laugh and say, "It's okay at this time, let's gossip." Oh, your woman and Bayi are sisters?"
"Madame is so good to remember, my woman is Cousin Bayi. β
It turned out that when Xiangyin was sixteen or seventeen years old, he had accompanied his second uncle Xiangshan to the salt spring of Yushui Funiu Mountain, at this time Yanqing Baduo had passed away, and was taken over by Yuhou's second brother Ba Fu.
Madame smiled again: "There is also Yancang's daughter named Meihua. β
Xiang Yin straightened up and said: "Plum blossoms are in Sanmiao Village these days."
Madame said happily: "She's here too? I've never seen her before, this time it's just right." β
"Meihua is the righteous daughter of the old owner of Sanmiao Village, General Zhu. β
Madame smiled: "And this good thing. β
"A few years ago, Meihua came to visit General Park in the Sanhekou camp, and it happened that General Yu came to the camp to have something, and when he saw Meihua, he took him to Sanmiao Village to play, saying that she was diligent, sensible, and liked it very much, so she recognized the righteous daughter. This time, Meihua was about to marry Fan Shen's son Fan Xiaohu, and she came to see General Park because of something, and then went to Sanmiao Village to see her stepmother. β
As the two were talking, the boat approached the shore, and Xiang Yin said, "Madam, when you get to the shore, I'll arrange to get off the boat." β
Mrs. said: "Let your wife come to Hu'an Palace to play when she is free, I haven't seen it yet, and she must be a good person." Xiang Yin thanked him and went to the head of the boat.
The boats docked, and the boat got off the boat, and there was already a hibiscus to follow. Seeing that Pan Furong was dressed in a cyan uniform, Mrs. smiled and said, "Are you here to pick me up, or are you here to pick up General Park?"
Fleur also smiled: "I am always a pawn of Madame." β
Xiang Yin saw Pan Hibiscus about fourteen or fifteen years old, tall and straight, and there was no weakness in the wind, like a spring willow growing in the wind, the eyes were big and bright, if there were two clear springs, the lips were red and the teeth were white, the complexion was like a little red oil in the coagulated fat, there were a few beads of sweat on the forehead, presumably just ran around, the arms were like two long white lotus roots, but the muscles could be seen when the movement, the most memorable was the chest forefront, obviously better than the women of the same age, sharp and powerful; long hair was tightly tied on the head, a short bow hung on the back, and a short sword hung at the waist, heroic postureγ Xiang Yin secretly praised: "The fourteenth change of the female university, the more she changes, the better she looks, she is really a big husband among women, a big beauty among beauties." β
Regardless of the night, Park Yancang got on the boat and walked back slowly, preparing to light torches and travel at night.
Xiangyin stood at the end of the boat, and saw that his wife was under the guidance of Pan Furong, lightly lifting her skirt and walking up the stone steps, and there was another charm in her back, and she was envious.
Goodbye maid Licorice helped Mengyu, who was wearing a two-color square and circular pattern Shu brocade, and was also going up the stone steps. Under the influence of the inventor of sericulture, the people of Shu, the people of Pakistan also planted mulberry and raised silkworms, and there were silk clothing, but the common ones were ramie, kudzu, animal skins and rattan products.
Xiang Yin thought to herself: "This little girl will be even more beautiful in the future."
The boat master returned to the camp and did not mention it.
When they arrived in Sanmiao Village, it had already been arranged, everyone was full of smiles, Pan Zhongyu asked the master Zhu Rui and others to wash their faces, and Mrs. Zhu took Mengyu to see Pan Furong's mother first, and said a lot of words about reunion after a long absence.
While gossiping, Mrs. Yu saw a girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with smooth hair, a slightly round face, white and red, big and clear eyes, if containing autumn water, the nose and mouth were straight, the figure was tall and slightly fat, very healthy, beautiful in description, and dignified attitude. Wearing two horizontal cloths, wearing the middle and running through its head, the later generations called the skirt, a little old, but clean and neat, although it is in the labor movement, there are few wrinkles, secretly nodded and praised: "Look at her like hibiscus, there is a dignified natural beauty, but more than hibiscus two points softer."
The girl was peeling fruit and delivering water next to her, and she didn't take a moment to spare, and Mrs. Yu said, "I guess you are plum blossoms." Mrs. Pan smiled: "Madame has good eyesight, but she is not called Plum Blossom, she is called Xuemei." β
The girl bowed and said, "Salute the lady again!" After the salute, she said, "My nickname is Meihua, which is the snow plum taken by the doctor." β
Mrs. Pan said: "This kid is sensible, ten times stronger than the three crazy girls on the village." β
Pan Furong grabbed her mouth and said: "Who called her a big sister, and she is about to be the general's wife again." β
Everyone laughed.
Mrs. Gu smiled: "Don't forget that you are also a general, and you will be a general's wife in the future." β
Fleur grinned.
Mrs. Pan said: "Xuemei, while Mrs. and Mengyu are here, this time I will play for a few more days." The wedding will be more than a month apart. β
Mrs. Yu looked at Xuemei again and said, "Xuemei, which clothes are you wearing?"
Xuemei said: "My change is done, and I wear it when my godmother was young, and it just fits."
Mrs. Yu nodded, very satisfied with this girl, and saw that Xuemei wore two small bamboo tubes obliquely in her ears, although they were simple, they were very exquisite, and said with a smile: "Xuemei is almost expensive as Mrs. Fan, you can no longer wear bamboo tubes, when you get married, I will give you a pair of fine beads, or I gave them in the Jiangzhou Palace when I entered Hu'an Mountain." I don't really like wearing earrings, so I've never used them. β
Xuemei smiled: "Thank you, madam! How dare I call Mrs., the little woman is afraid that she can't afford it." β
Mrs. Yu smiled: "The two bamboo tubes can afford it, where can they not afford it." β
Several people laughed.
Mrs. Pan said with a smile: "Madame gives such a big gift, I, who is a mother, will not be able to do it without much blood." β
Everyone laughed and laughed, Mrs. Pan invited her to wash, change clothes, and then eat, and she used a lot of wine that day, and her life was very satisfactory.
