Section 139 The Lord of the County
For Gu Ling, Yang Tianhong has always had no way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although this guy has sharp words, he doesn't have bad intentions, at most he makes a few jokes, and then he puts his arms around his shoulders and calls him a brother.
It was the lunch break, Gu Ling couldn't help but say, and pulled Yang Tianhong towards the Houshan Market.
As long as there is a pot of wine, it is easy for men to become familiar with each other.
Gu Ling's words have been a lot, chattering endlessly.
"You were kind of going fast. After that incident, the people of the Lu family waited outside the Guozi Prison for several days in a row. Lu Hongzhi, that guy kept saying that he must marry your sister. Otherwise, the gate of the Guozijian will be sealed. That guy was simply crazy, and he didn't want to think about what kind of place the Guozijian was? As a result, the priest went crazy on the spot, called the officials of the Shuntian Mansion, and took all the Lu family into custody. Then Lu Hongzhi was also a fast runner and was not caught red-handed. Otherwise, you will be caught in the same way, and you will have to shed your skin if you don't die. ”
"Speaking of which, Lu Hongzhi is also unlucky, and he has to provoke you. Now it's okay, the Lu family has been sentenced to be beheaded, and he can't run away himself. The head is now hanging on the side of the west city gate, exposed to the sun and rain, and will become rotten meat in a few days. When the time comes, who remembers that there was such a number one?"
While drinking wine, Gu Ling took out a notebook from the bookbag beside him and handed it to Yang Tianhong: "This is what I copied for you." In a few days, there will be a big exam, and I know that you are very talented, and you don't look down on these textbook-based courses in the academy. But no matter what, the score is evaluated by the teacher according to the paper. I have indicated the key points of the outline for you, and I estimate that you should be 70% sure that you can pass the test. When the time comes, you don't have to come to the troublesome place of Guozijian to attend classes, and you can go out and be your Xuanwu general in a dignified manner. ”
Yang Tianhong flipped through the notes and saw a dense and neat fly-headed Xiaokai.
Gu Ling's calligraphy is very good, which is also a basic skill that all literati in the world must be proficient in. If you can't even write a word. What else is there to talk about seeking fame? Just in the process of marking the examination papers, he was mercilessly brushed down by the examiners.
He had been drinking, and his voice was a little lonely.
"In this country, you are the only one who doesn't care about my background and treats me as a friend. ”
The people who can enter the national prison are not poor students who study hard. It's after the eunuch. Gu Ling's father is a Cheng in Ningze County, Suizhou, and he is a small official. Here, Gu Ling's situation is actually very embarrassing, the poor students are very contemptuous of the eunuchs, and the real noble children don't look down on him and won't be friends with him. Gu Ling knew that Yang Tianhong had only stayed in the Guozi Prison for three months, and after the big exam, he would leave.
Although Gu Ling and Yang Tianhong have the same purpose in Guozijian, they are both to get a student status. But the two have similar personalities. If one is gone, the other will feel lonely and lonely.
Gu Ling continued to drink and speak: "That little black girl in the library pavilion is not bad. I'm very concerned about your affairs. She secretly came to the school house a few days ago and asked me when you will be back? I think she cares about you, could it be that you quietly overturned people when you were in the library?"
Yang Tianhong's face darkened a little: "I said, don't joke about this kind of thing." I'm the so-called, girls are Bingqing Yujie, if you talk too much about this kind of thing, there will be more people who believe it. If it spreads. Maybe it's going to kill someone. ”
Gu Ling suddenly shook his head and hurriedly raised his hand. slapped himself heavily on the cheek: "Look at my stinky mouth, I just like to talk nonsense." Fight!
Yang Tianhong picked up the cup disappreciatively and touched it with Gu Ling. He knew that Gu Ling had drunk too much and had a big tongue, and he dared to talk nonsense, but he didn't have a bad intention. It's just that even since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the emperor still wants to avoid drunkards". You can't use a girl's name as a topic for drinking.
There was a commotion outside the restaurant, and Yang Tianhong turned his head and saw a familiar face through the window.
It was a young man dressed in a green cloth robe. Very strong, tall ox and big horse, with hair combed in a bun on his head. It looks vicious, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the word "reader".
It was Yang Tianhong's cousin Yang Hu. During the Chinese New Year, because he was drunk and coveted Yang Qiurong in Guangping Houfu, he was beaten by Yang Tianhong. The reason why it appeared here is also because of his grandfather Yang Rong. The Yang family has always been a military general, and if they want to seek an official position in the court, the identity of a student is indispensable no matter what. Yang Hu should be the same as Yang Tianhong, he was arranged by Guangping Hou to enter the Guozijian. As long as you pass the big exam, you will have the opportunity to obtain an official position.
Yang Tianhong and Gu Ling sat near the stairs. If you go up to the second floor, you will be able to see them.
Looking at Yang Tianhong's calm and indifferent eyes, Yang Hu couldn't help but shudder, and his heart suddenly tightened.
When he was a child, Yang Hu often bullied Yang Tianhong and beat him very fiercely.
On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, Yang Hu felt that Yang Tianhong should still be the same as before, so he relied on a few sips of wine and played tricks in public. As a result, he was beaten half to death by Yang Tianhong.
Yang Hu has a good memory. He was really frightened that day. Yang Hu has grown so big, and he has never been broken alive. He swore that he would always remember this fierce and savage brother, and they all said that people should not be disgraced, and when they were young, they were pressed under him and used their fists to flatten, and when they grew up, they would come back to you with all their profits. It can be regarded as the Yang family's unique injury medicine, Yang Hu raised in bed for several months before he connected his hands and feet, and the injury slowly improved. So far, Yang Hu's internal injuries have not healed, and he still feels faint pain in his legs when he walks, and he can't raise his arms high.
Looking at Yang Tianhong's cold eyes, Yang Hu knew that he would not be able to escape no matter what, and he did not have the courage to turn around and leave. He thought about it, gritted his teeth, walked forward in front of Yang Tianhong, bent down and bowed deeply, his voice trembling: "Cousin, I'...... Met cousin. ”
Yang Tianhong was very surprised. In my impression, Yang Hu has always been a strong and brutal character. This guy never looks down, he is so brave and ruthless. Perhaps, it was really the last time I was taught a hard lesson by myself, so I gave in.
Yang Tianhong does not have the habit of directly beating people to death. What's more, Yang Hu is still his cousin. Although he doesn't have much affection for Guangping Houfu, he is still his relative after all.
Since Yang Hu was willing to give in in a low voice, Yang Tianhong naturally did not have the intention of being domineering. He nodded slightly, pointed to the empty chair next to him, and asked lightly, "Why are you here?"
Seeing that Yang Tianhong didn't mean to raise his fist and hit someone. The anxious Yang Hu also put his mind at ease. He turned sideways, sat down cautiously, and said with a smile: "Grandpa arranged for me to get a student status in the Guozi Prison." I know that my cousin is also in the country, but I haven't seen him all the time. Today, there is also a fate. ”
Gu Ling looked at Yang Hu with interest, and then looked at Yang Tianhong. "This is your cousin, sit down and have a drink!"
As he spoke, Gu Ling stretched out his hand to greet the shopkeeper standing in front of the counter: "Xiao Er, another set of dishes and chopsticks." ”
"No!
Yang Hu hurriedly waved his hand: "I made an appointment with a few friends, but I came early, and they are right behind, maybe they will come over soon." When the time comes, I'll introduce you to my cousin. ”
As he was talking, a group of people came from afar on the mountain road. They talked and laughed and laughed loudly. They were all young scholars dressed in Confucian service. It's just that the person walking in the middle is obviously a woman.
She was wearing a men's robe, her face was pretty, her hair crown and dress were manly, and the bulge on her chest was particularly straight. This outfit makes the look look unique and more eye-catching.
Yang Hu stared directly at the woman in the crowd with his eyes, and the expression on his face was a little impatient. He stood up. He saluted Yang Tianhong again, and stammered, "Watch." Cousin, my friend is here. Leave it at that. In the future, I will be the East again, and I respectfully invite my cousin and this friend to enjoy the light. ”
Yang Tianhong nodded, and Yang Hu was amnesty. hurriedly greeted the gang. After the cage, a group of people walked into the restaurant next to it, and the laughter continued.
Gu Ling picked up a piece of pig's head meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed slowly while looking at the window of the restaurant on the side. Said thoughtfully: "Who is my Dao, it turns out to be the Lord of Lingyun." No wonder there are so many waves of bees and butterflies coming forward one after another, but they don't live up to her name and identity. ”
The words "Lingyun County Lord" flashed in Yang Tianhong's mind. He froze his mind, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "What did you say?"
Gu Ling nodded and replied, "This woman came in after you left. It took only ten days. It is said that she is the adopted daughter of King Jingning and has a noble status. Of course, people are also very beautiful. ”
Yang Tianhong's eyes kept looking at the restaurant on the side, and asked lightly: "With the identity of the county lord, presumably this girl has been assigned to the first-class class?"
Gu Ling laughed with a "flutter": "Class A, don't be kidding." With her kind of goods, how could she be assigned to Class A? Lord Lingyun is the same as us, all of them are Class C. ”
Yang Tianhong was a little curious: "What, she entered the National Prison for the identity of a student?"
Gu Ling shook his head: "I don't know about this." However, this woman is really promiscuous. On the surface, he looks dignified and steady, but he has a hot fight with students in other classes. Well, you see, a bunch of men drinking here in broad daylight. It's nice to say, it's the mutual communication between classmates. If it doesn't sound good, what's the difference between that and the woman in the kiln outside?"
Yang Tianhong said deliberately: "Don't say that. Everyone just had a drink together, and it wasn't that serious. ”
Gu Ling frowned: "I also see people talking about people, and talking about ghosts." Why do the two of us use any agitation methods? I have personally seen the Lord of Lingyun hook up with several men. Don't forget, I'm the one in the prison of the country. Several people in Class B boasted about this, saying that the Lord of Lingyun secretly sent autumn waves to them, and also privately gave gold, silver, jewelry and other things. I don't know what this woman is trying to do? In addition to the students of the second and third classes, there are also the poor ghosts of the first class. No, even your dumbfounded cousin was invited by her to drink together. ”
Yang Tianhong smiled and did not continue to talk.
Gu Ling's vision is indeed very fine. Yang Hu's rude and dull temperament and appearance, if you put aside the identity of Guangping Houfu, I am afraid that only rural peasant women will be able to see it. With a noble and beautiful woman like the county lord of Lingyun, under normal circumstances, it is estimated that she is too lazy to take care of it.
That's just how weird things are. Through the window of the restaurant, you can see Yang Hu sitting next to the lord of Lingyun, the two of them clinked glasses again and again, Yang Hu was flattered and triumphant, and the lord of Lingyun had affection in his eyes, just like a woman looking at the man she liked in spring.
Gu Ling leaned into Yang Tianhong's ear, and his words were very vicious: "Have you seen it?" The face is like a peach blossom, and the powder is affectionate. Hey, hey, hey, like a swan winking at a fat pig? I bet that the water below the Lingyun County Lord is definitely flowing into a river, converging into a river and a sea. Maybe it's wet for twelve hours a day. I also heard that the Jingning Mansion used to buy a lot of fresh and prickly cucumbers every day. Well, when the subordinates of the Ning Wangfu came out to buy vegetables, they had to buy more eggplants. Switching to cucumbers is still a later thing. This time. I didn't even eat cucumbers, and I chose a lot of thick and sturdy bitter gourds in the vegetable market. ”
Yang Tianhong glared at Gu Ling, who was smiling with a thief, and shook his head: "I really don't know what you're thinking in your head." ”
Gu Ling laughed "haha" and raised his wine glass: "It's just a joke." Anyway, if I marry in the future, I will never look for this kind of woman. Come, let's drink!
After touching the glass, continue to drink and eat.
Yang Tianhong kept sneering.
He will never forget the words "Lingyun County Lord".
At the beginning, the reason why his uncle Yang Liansheng was so ruthless that he wanted to kill himself. It was because the housekeeper of Jingning Wangfu came to the door and said that he had collided with the car of the lord of Lingyun in the nunnery outside the city.
Heaven testified that it was not until today that Yang Tianhong really saw the county lord of Lingyun. Previously, he hadn't even seen a single hair of this woman.
A woman who can even look at the waste like her cousin Yang Hu...... Is she really a nymphomaniac?
......
Walking out of the gate of Guozijian, Yang Tianhong was stopped by a middle-aged man wearing a light cyan long suit.
He's not alone.
Behind him, a carriage with extremely luxurious decoration was parked. The entire body is wrapped in sterling silver. This is also what the nobles of Da Chu have always liked. Although gold is worth a lot, it looks tacky when used as a utensil. Compared with. The color and condition of sterling silver products are very good, and they have a nobility that is difficult to match with any substance.
There are a total of six horses pulling the cart, all of which are high-quality horses with pure blood. They correspond in pairs with the same coat color, forming three pairs of staggered front and back. The coachman's attire is also very particular, just the outfit will definitely not be less than ten taels of silver.
According to the Great Chu State System: according to different grades. The number of horses driven by nobles and officials ranged from one to four. Only members of the royal family can use a six-horse car. If it is eight or sixteen horses, it is the scale of the car that belongs to the Son of Heaven. If ordinary people use it casually, it is a violation of the system, which is equivalent to the crime of rebellion.
The middle-aged man walked over to Yang Tianhong. The smile on his face was very sweet. The two eyes were firmly fixed on Yang Tianhong, and when he walked in front of him, the man bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "You must be General Xuanwu." Below is the steward of Her Royal Highness Princess Jing'an's house. This time, Her Royal Highness the princess invited the general to come to the mansion for a while, and hoped that General Xuanwu would not refuse. ”
Princess Jing'an?
Yang Tianhong narrowed his eyes slightly. He remembered that he had never crossed paths with the princess. At most, when the Lu family handed over the desolate beast, I overheard that there was such a name among the people from the Lu Mansion.
Princess Jing'an is the son of today, that is, the aunt of Emperor Shunming.
Looking at the smiling steward, Yang Tianhong thought about it, nodded, and got into the carriage.
......
The scale of the princess's mansion is very large, and roughly calculated, the area alone exceeds that of the Yang Mansion by more than ten times. In the capital of Chu State, such a large mansion is very rare. In the words of ulterior motives, it is equivalent to a small version of the royal palace.
Yang Tianhong was taken directly into the living room by a subordinate. It was almost time to wait for a cup of tea, and a thin man swayed in the direction of the inner hall.
He sat down at the head of the living room, and spoke very directly, but his eyes kept squinting at Yang Tianhong, releasing obvious contempt and disdain.
"I'm Shuo'an Hou Song Li. Everyone is a nobleman of the court, so there is no need to hide it. Inviting General Yang to the house today, he should have arranged a banquet and hospitality, but he was busy with official business, so it was really not good to waste time on this kind of thing. ”
Shuo'an waited for Song Li, Yang Tianhong had heard of this name.
Princess Jing'an lost her husband at an early age, and she only has such a son under her knees. Title, not just a title on the surface. There must be a fief, and there must be a corresponding population. There are many marquis of the Great Chu Kingdom, but there are very few marquis who can be awarded more than 10,000 households. The Shuo Anhou in front of him is one of them. It is said that there are as many as 13,000 households under his name, and the amount of money collected every year is extremely large.
Yang Tianhong arched his hand and didn't speak, which can be regarded as a salute.
Such a casual attitude made Shuo'an Hou Song Li feel very unhappy. It was the first time he had seen someone deal with him with such a simple courtesy, and he instinctively wanted to get angry, but he thought of his mother, Princess Jing'an's advice and explanation, so he forcibly suppressed his anger.
Song Li asked: "The Lu family was sentenced to behead all over the house for the crime of rebellion. Presumably General Yang has already heard about this matter?"
Yang Tianhong picked up the hot tea on the table, took a sip lightly, and said lightly: "I heard that I heard something, but the specific situation is not very clear." Everyone can be punished for the rebellion, and even if you kill more of this kind of rebel who commits rebellion, it is good. ”
Song Li parted the thin beard on his lips with his thumb, and said without a smile: "I heard that when the Lu family was escorted to the execution ground, they kept desperately shouting injustice. (To be continued.) )
