Chapter 188 Sending Silver Taels
Zhicheng had already recognized Layue at the moment she came out, but at this time, she was dressed in a subordinate dress, her clothes were gray, and the scar on her forehead that was not covered by a pomegranate flower forehead ornament was particularly eye-catching.
Although he was also taken aback, he had never heard that this General Dai had a hobby of being close to women, and secondly, Layue's appearance could even be said to be ugly, and he would not be looked down upon by anyone anyway.
I was going to wait for General Dai to send away the fierce god, and then go back and count a few words of Layue, but who knew that this general had a strange aesthetic and actually fell in love with this young lady of Zhang Mansion who was pretending to be a subordinate.
Dai Xue's eyes were like knives, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead from the murderous oppression that had been fought on the battlefield, he didn't dare to refuse, let alone agree, Layue also bit her lip angrily, and glared at the bastard in front of her with dissatisfaction.
Just when Zhicheng was almost frightened and fainted, and Layue was angry and wanted to scold him regardless of it, Dai Xue laughed, let go of Layue's hand, and then said a word in Zhicheng's ear, and then strode away laughing.
No one can guess what he said, but Zhicheng's face was like earth in an instant, and the whole person was stunned, and he was called several times by Layue before he came back to his senses, and then no matter how Layue forced him to ask, he was silent, and finally he was annoyed by the question, and Zhicheng lost a sentence, "If he has a disaster in the future, it will be because of your disguise today." ”
The "extortion and extortion" of 20,000 taels of silver made Zhicheng have a headache, and the time given by Dai Xue was also extremely harsh, with only ten days to prepare, and it would be handed over on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month at the latest.
Zhicheng was so anxious that he would wake up in the middle of the night with nightmares, always dreaming of being beheaded by Dai Xue, or being cut with a knife, and finally there was really no choice but to consult with the old mother.
No one dares to provoke this kind of **, after secretly scolding this bandit and robber-like General Dai for a bloody head, they can only consider themselves unlucky, and bought a lot of the family's shop and the old mother's dowry and made up 20,000 taels of silver to send it over, but the house was suddenly tight.
But he never expected that when Zhicheng went to deliver the silver in person, the general Dai had a new trick, looking at Zhicheng who was kneeling on the ground and didn't let him get up, he stepped on the chair with one leg, held a wine glass in his hand, looked at him with a cold expression, and simply picked out what he meant.
He said, "Surnamed Zhang, can't you see what I mean?" What should you really do if you want to keep your family safe? I really don't understand? ”
The city trembled like chaff, and when he thought of the words he said in his ear when he left that day, he suddenly felt five thunderbolts.
What the man said at the time was, "I want this woman, and if I don't give it to me, I'll take the heads of your whole family." ”
When I came home in a daze, Dai Xue's words echoed in my ears, "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at the latest, you can do it yourself." ”
Before the fifteenth day of the first month, he must get this matter done properly and send his wife to that person, or he will desperately gamble the lives of the whole family, and it is self-evident how to choose.
He even hated Layue later, how could this woman be so troublesome? Mother used to say that she was a mourning star, and she continued to have all kinds of disasters at home, and she was always unconvinced by her mother, but after so long, didn't she say that her mother was right when she thought about it one by one?
He thought so, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and the more he felt that giving Layue to the fierce god general could not only solve the disaster of his own family, but also make the general open to his family, which was not too cost-effective, so his attitude towards Layue became worse day by day, and in the end, he even pretended not to see her.
Layue has never cared about these, the day is like this, on the day of Layue's birthday, everyone in Zhang's mansion forgot about it cleanly, Layue ate Shou noodles with the shopkeeper Gao in the northern suburbs during the day, and made a fuss to say goodbye and return in the evening, and then went to the place agreed with Dai Xue to see him, but who knew that he waited for a while.
She held a sachet embroidered by herself, the same embroidery method as her mother, the only one in the world with no semicolon, and she stood for a long time in the cold night without waiting for that person.
In the end, I went home disappointed, tossed and turned all night, kept looking at the window, pricked up my ears to listen to the movement outside, but I didn't wait for Dai Xue's news until the sky turned white, and the embroidery bag was hesitated by her picking up scissors a few times but still didn't get down to cut it by hand, and finally sighed and put it in her arms, thinking of countless excuses for the man who missed the appointment, just waiting for him to explain.
By the dawn, she didn't have to wait for her to know the reason, it turned out that Beiyan wanted to take advantage of the Han festival at the end of the year, relaxed her vigilance, and infiltrated several assassins with the intention of assassinating and poisoning General Dai.
However, General Dai had anticipated in advance that he had prepared and captured those assassins, but those people were all dead soldiers, and after being caught, they all bit the poison sacs in their molars and died, and the general's mansion was busy all night but no useful news was found.
La Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart when she heard this, and then she knew that she was far more worried about Dai Xue's safety than complaining about his breach of appointment.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve, the nine-song Yellow River lantern array in Yecheng has long been tied, and if you want to say that this nine-curved Yellow River lantern array, you have to say that there is a very widespread local legend.
There is a very large Guandi temple on the side of the Zhanghe River in Yecheng, which was built by the descendants of Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms.
As we all know, Cao Cao's seventy-two suspicious tombs are distributed on both sides of the Zhanghe River, and the local people in Yecheng, if you pull one out and ask, they will tell you categorically that the real Cao Cao's tomb is under the Zhanghe River, and the evil and vicious design of Cao Cao's tomb is vicious, and the lives of Yecheng must be sacrificed every year.
In fact, even now, the water of the Zhanghe River in this section of Cao Cao's Tomb in Yecheng is still very "gluttonous", dozens of people die every year, and they all die very strangely, the most bizarre kind is actually when washing clothes, plunged into the water only feet and necks deep and drowned.
And this Guandi Temple is the descendants of Emperor Guan who got Guan Yu's dream enlightenment, and specially built this temple to suppress it here, so as not to let the evil things in Cao Cao's tomb see the day and become demons.
Since the construction of the Guandi Temple, sure enough, since then the number of people who die every year in Zhanghe has changed from dozens to one or two, people are grateful for the protection of Emperor Guan, and every year during the New Year, they will hold this nine-song Yellow River lantern array in the open space in front of the Guandi Temple on the side of the Zhanghe River, and it will be lively for four or five days before stopping.
The general scale of the Jiuqu Yellow River Lantern Array is as large as two acres of land, and it is a labyrinth. Arm-thick one-person-tall wooden stakes are buried deep in the earth, and the stakes are connected by sorghum straw.
The design of this lantern array is the master in Yecheng to study a year of research, every year the maze is different, although there is only one import and one exit, but there are very few people who can walk out of the exit, they are all walking and walking on the road connected by the straw. Those who are patient, those who do not admit defeat will return the same way and try it on another road, and those who are impatient will directly come out of the layers under the straw - anyway, it is a lively New Year's picture.
