The morning light is faint, and a hundred birds are chirping.

At the beginning of the spring, Gu Yunzhang, who is the county commander, will lead by example, and the people under his rule will reclaim the famine and sow seeds, and persuade the farmers to teach the mulberry with hard work. The people will say: Our Lord Gu is really a good official who is rare to see in a hundred years, as for whether it is sincere from the bottom of his heart or against his will to act on the spot, it is unknown.

But even if he is such a "good official", Gu Yunzhang still sits in the position of the county commander for 12 years, and the official is not promoted, and he is not promoted. forced himself to turn a handsome and dashing Jinshi talent into a middle-aged man with a big belly.

Time is a knife to kill pigs, and so is food.

And this year, he is as always, rain or shine, but he doesn't lead by example anymore, not unwillingly, but can't, looking at the people who have been working hard in the fields, and then look at himself, lower his head, he has no toes, the woman doesn't see the toes is stunning, what about the man, he suddenly has some sadness and melancholy, hey...

There is no way to lose weight in this body, it is difficult in my heart, and I am worried.

"My lord, why sigh? Spring planting, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter storage, naturally, but what's wrong? Or are you worried about the harvest? Sixiang Tiansi once said: There are unicorns in the south, all grains are abundant, the white tiger will come out, the barbarian four suits, the Xuanwu in the north, the country and the people, the green dragon from the abyss, there are slight waves, the Vermilion Bird does not move, and the world does not move. Man-made disasters, then it is even more fantastical, even if the sky falls, there is a general, everything can be guaranteed, there is a unicorn in the south, and all grains are abundant. ”

A young man beside him was talking eloquently, with a look of adoration and awe.

"If there is no one else, call me brother-in-law! How many times have I told you, let your sister know, it's another chatter," Gu Yunzhang deliberately raised his face and taught a lesson, and then mentioned the brocade belt of the official robe, and began to feel melancholy again, "Yuting, of course I'm not worried about any natural or man-made disasters, or I'm worried, what kind of panacea or both-way method do you say in the world that can make my brother-in-law lose weight and lose weight?" ”

Leading by example with the county magistrate is the county government catcher Kuai, who is also his brother-in-law, Du Yuting. This year, he has not yet reached the crown, and his eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and he has the humble demeanor of a child of a family, but a yamen uniform really doesn't match him.

The dignity of the dignified county order is not worried, not for disasters, but with a hundred catties of meat.

Du Yuting suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and pretended to be solemn and said: "My lord, etiquette cannot be abolished, you are an official, I am an official, there is a difference between respect and inferiority." ”

Gu Yunzhang scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you are playing Tai Chi with your brother-in-law, if you really know the law and abide by etiquette, why don't you go to the test to gain fame, you have to sneak out and come to me to be a little catcher, what do you say It is better to read ten thousand books than to travel thousands of miles, Chaisang County is only a hundred miles away from Pingyang, and it is far from ten thousand miles." Why didn't your father-in-law come and take you back to study in front of the wall? ”

This can poke Du Yuting's death hole, useless is a scholar, the eldest husband should guard the frontier and the town in all directions, he has to be humbly taught: "What my brother-in-law said is right." Yuting knew his mistake. ”

He then lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Brother-in-law, there may not be a panacea, but I know that there is a mastery in the rivers and lakes that can solve my brother-in-law's current worries. ”

Gu Yunzhang glanced at him, and knew that there was no good thing to do when he looked at him, and in addition to being curious, he wanted to know what kind of demon he was doing: "What conditions?" ”

"I can't tell my father that I'm in Pingyang Town, how about it?"

"It's that simple?"

"It's as simple as that."

"Your sister's side?"

"It's done."

"Why is it a master?"

"Immortal Thirty-six Styles."

Gu Yunzhang wondered: "Why does it sound a little familiar, Taoist is unlearned?" ”

Du Yuting pretended to be surprised and said, "Brother-in-law actually knows such a miracle? Not Taoism, but from the people. ”

Gu Yunzhang stretched out his hand to beg: "Cheats." ”

"It has been handed over to my sister for careful collection." Du Yuting finally confirmed: "Brother-in-law, a gentleman..."

Gu Yunzhang pondered for a moment, "Fast horse..."

Du Yuting asked: "A whip?" ”

Just when Du Yuting thought the dust had settled...

Gu Yunzhang suddenly said in a loud voice: "Hurry up and return to the ya." ”

There must be a servant in the county, and when he heard the familiar voice, the servant came in three steps and two steps to lead the horse, and shouted at the top of his throat: "The county order your lord to return to the house..."

Although the official is not big, he is full of style.

Du Yuting's treacherous plan was successful.

He's also melancholy at the moment...

Pingyang is a border town, only because it is close to the south to escape from the forest, and it is a military town, therefore, there is one captain, two captains, three thousand soldiers, stationed here, there are 2,327 households, and the county order is placed to assist in the defense of the border passes, and the people are guarding the land.

At the same time, the garrison also shoulders the responsibility of monitoring the movements of the South Peach Forest, which is known as the two "unknown places" in the world and the northernmost northern ice field, which has always been only the living, and only the dead remain, but even so, there are still many outlaws flocking to it, for two reasons:

The northern ice fields are home to natural treasures.

The South Peach Forest is prolific, rare birds and beasts, and it is rumored that there are immortals living in seclusion here.

Some people are for wealth, some are for avoiding disasters, and some are for eternal life. Because of this, Pingyang Military Town has also become a mixed place, with three religions and nine streams, cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have appeared, and it is also a fragrant dumpling, everyone wants to take a bite... No one can get what they want, just because Pingyang is under the jurisdiction of Lumen, just because of one person, this person makes all those who try to get their hands on Pingyang daunting, he has only one rule:

Whoever enters the territory of Lumen, no matter how heinous you were before, as long as you abide by the law in my territory, you can live without worry.

In a simple sentence, no one dares to take a step beyond the thunder pool. Because he is the co-owner of the 200,000 Zhengxuanlongwei Iron Cavalry guarding the border pass Lumen - Shentu Xinfang.

When Gu Yunzhang hurried back to the county office, he hurriedly went to his wife to verify whether the school was true or false.

Mrs. Gu Yunzhang, Du Lan, born in the Du family of Chaisang County, Lumen, Du family is flourishing in Chaisang County, deep-rooted, most of the children of the Du clan serve in the army, and the officialdom is also prosperous, the contemporary Du family head Du Zhiyin is the guard of a county, is the fourth product, such as the sun, Du Zhiyin has two sons under his knees, Du Lan is the eldest daughter, the second son serves in the army, Du Yuting is the third son, Du Lan is twenty years old, the capital of the Chinese, Gu Yunzhang and the marriage are not reluctant, just a marriage tool in the political officialdom, The words of the matchmaker of the parents, since ancient times, most of the fate of women is so involuntary, and the heart is even more involuntary.

The two have no emotional foundation, and Gu Yunzhang has no concubines, so they have been married for many years, and there is nothing to do, of course, Du also wants to be a good wife and mother, but the stomach has not moved, seeing that the years are getting older and older, her father Du Zhiyin has also sent messages many times to ask for the reason, she has prevaricated on the grounds of physical discomfort, but the paper always can't contain the fire, if there has been no child, then this marriage will also lose its meaning, and she will become an abandoned child, and the clan will choose another lover to marry with it. Seeing the entrance of the concubine's room, she could only stay alone in the empty room and secretly cry, in total, she found Du Yuting, of course, this good brother did not live up to her sister's expectations, Du Yuting was also worried about how she should persuade her sister and brother-in-law to stay in Pingyang, and someone sent a pillow to sleep, and pushed the boat down the river to implement her "great plan"...

But at the last moment, it fell short, Jiang was not only old but also spicy, but also very treacherous.

Gu Yunzhang came to the place where the Du family lived and knocked lightly on the door, "Madam, I have something to inquire about, I don't know if it is convenient?" ”

Respect each other like guests.

"It's nothing else, come in, the concubine has just finished grooming." Du Shi replied.

The county magistrate found a random place to sit down, and looked around, but found nothing.

"What is the master looking for, aren't you out, why did you come back so early?" Du Shi was a little happy, thinking that his younger brother persuaded Gu Yunzhang to open up, and deliberately diverted the topic.

Gu Yunzhang wiped the sweat on his forehead and rode around on horseback, really disrespectful to his fruitful autumn fat, and sighed: "Madame also knows how greedy I am on weekdays, so I am very tired after every thousand steps. I heard Yuting say, he got a new thing to treasure with you, which can solve my current situation, it seems to be called... What's it called..."

"Immortal Thirty-six Styles."

"Madam, is this thing true or false?"

Old Du's face flushed, she was so blunt about the interesting things in the room, she was really a little overwhelmed, I don't know how you thought you were a tiger and wolf, so impatient.

The two slaves and maids who were waiting for Du Shi to wash in the room couldn't help but blush, and gently covered their ears and heads, not to look at or listen to indecent things.

Du Shi couldn't hide his embarrassment, cleared his throat, and coughed, "Chun'er, Tao'er, I heard that a new pastry shop has opened in the town recently, and it tastes very good, you go buy some and come back to taste fresh, go quickly!" ”

Gu Yunzhang saw his daughter's family behaving like this, it can be regarded as a retrospective, even if this is really a good recipe, it must be something that does not enter the stream, good boy, take advantage of your brother-in-law, ghost ideas one after another, endlessly, fortunately I keep an eye on it. No, we have to let him go back to Chaisang...

"Ma'am, destroy it... Between you and me, it is not appropriate to have this. ”

Du Shi didn't answer, but got up and closed the door, and asked, "Have you ever thought about being a concubine?" ”

Gu Yunzhang was puzzled: "Why did Madam say this?" I think that I have never been inferior to you, and I have respected my wife for many years, and I have always adhered to the courtesy of a gentleman, and never exceeded it. I know that you have never fallen in love with me, fate is free and heavenly, I dare not force it, I think of you, you are from a family, I am from a poor family, and it is already Gu Yunzhang's three lives fortunate to be married, and it is enough. ”

She added, "What if I say I want to now, will you believe me?" ”

Before she could answer, she slowly walked back to the dresser, sat down gently, looked at the face, it was so familiar and unfamiliar, smiled miserably, her tone was sad, and continued: "Don't say that adults don't believe it, and the concubine herself doesn't believe it." But what can I do, the concubine is afraid of death, afraid of being old and having no one to rely on, afraid of having no grave after death, and even more afraid of being abandoned... The living is tasteless, and the dead are silent. If I were born in an ordinary people's family, I would have been accompanied by Ruyi Langjun and died old, but I'm not, I'm the eldest daughter of the Chaisang Du clan, I'm the daughter of Du Zhiyin, I'm the daughter of the lord who is high in the county, I was born with no choice, I can't choose, I can only be a chess piece on the chessboard, someone else's kite, life and death are not up to me... Although the tiger is poisonous and does not eat children, he is not a tiger..."

Gu Yunzhang was silent, and after a long time, he said softly: "I understand." ”

Then he got up and left, and added inexplicably: "Madam, the "Spring Thinness" of the wind is very good, and it will be intoxicating. ”

Du Shi stood at the door, looking at the slightly bloated figure that had left, she suddenly laughed, but she cried when she laughed, and gently gave a blessing, and said two words that she thought she would never say in her lifetime:

"Husband, go slowly."
