Chapter 20: Shifting the Tide (8)
I only heard the cheers in the village, and they all shouted, "Maya is back." "Quick, go and tell the master, just say that Maya is back." This southwestern ethnic group does not have the habit of calling young lady, even if it is the daughter of Tusi, they all call her by her name.
Maya took Zhu Wenyu and walked quickly into the village, only to see a dark and sturdy, fifty-year-old man dressed as a Miao family walking briskly towards this side, followed by a woman who was also dressed in Miao costume, wearing a blue flower costume on a black background, with a big black cloth wrapped in her head, shouting as she walked: "Maya, Maya, are you back?" ”
"Abba and Grandma, Maya is back." Maya screamed as she ran, and threw herself into the woman's arms.
The woman was none other than Maya's mother, Agul, who put her arms around Maya and cried loudly: "Maya! Oh my daughter! I thought I'd never see you again, but you're finally back. ”
Maya was happy, but she was also a little inexplicable: "Grandma, what's wrong?" Am I not coming back? ”
"Your master wrote that you were killed." Aguli was still crying.
"I was killed?" Maya became more and more confused.
After all, Amuwang was a toast, and when he saw that there was a young man who had returned with Maya, he stepped forward to salute and asked, "Dare to ask who this guest is?" ”
"Junior, Zhu Wenyu, meet your father-in-law." Zhu Wenyu arched his hands and bowed deeply.
As soon as these words came out, not only Amuwang and Aguli were stunned on the spot, but even Maya was also surprised.
"This ......" Amuwang couldn't react for a while, originally thought that his daughter had died in the Central Plains, according to his daughter's master, He Honghua, the leader of the Five Immortals Sect, wrote that his daughter died at the hands of a person named Zhu Wenyu, and this person named Zhu Wenyu was still a relative of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Who knew that not only did her daughter come back unharmed today, but the young man who came back with her daughter was actually the murderer Zhu Wenyu, who was said to have killed his daughter, and what was even more surprising was that the murderer Zhu Wenyu actually called himself "father-in-law" in the first sentence of his mouth??!
Maya was even more surprised by Zhu Wenyu. On the way here, Zhu Wenyu also asked Maya how to call Maya's parents when she arrived at the Black Bear Village, but Maya only told Zhu Wenyu the names of her parents and brother, as for the title, she asked Zhu Wenyu to be casual, how did she know that this Zhu Wenyu actually called "father-in-law" so suddenly? Maya really didn't have any mental preparation at all, her mind was blank all of a sudden, and she didn't know what to think.
Zhu Wenyu was very relaxed at this time, he had already figured out how to call it on the way here, after this serious injury, Zhu Wenyu had already decided to marry Maya as his wife, and he also knew Maya's affection for him, that is, instead of calling his uncle or something this time and changing his words next time, it was better to be in place at one time, and directly call "father-in-law" happily, this call out, he and this Amuwang have become a family.
Zhu ...... Zhu Gongzi has already ...... with Maya Married? "Rao is Amuwang reacts quickly, this change is too big, and he can't adapt to it for a while.
"My father-in-law, I haven't married yet, but it's a sure thing anyway, Zhu Wenyu and Maya are wishful thinking, and I hope that my father-in-law will be fulfilled." Zhu Wenyu bowed again. At this time, although Maya is not a Han woman, and she doesn't attach much importance to the words of her parents, if she is not engaged, she is only about to marry in the church, and she rarely calls "father-in-law" and the like, you must know that the woman's parents may not agree to marry their daughter to you. This is good, when these words came to Zhu Wenyu's mouth, the voice of "father-in-law" was full of righteousness, and he also said "It's a definite thing anyway", as if the two Amuwang couples had to rightfully agree to marry their baby daughter to him Zhu Wenyu.
Amuwang never expected that not only his daughter would come back today, but also bring back a ready-made son-in-law, and when he was slightly sober, he hurriedly waved his hand and signaled: "Come on, come on, please speak in the village, please." ”
On the way into the inner village, Maya quietly tugged at Zhu Wenyu's sleeve: "Brother Yu, what are you doing?" ”
"What? Aren't you happy? A slightly naughty smile appeared on Zhu Wenyu's face, looking at Maya.
“…… Then you're too ...... Tell me first, I'm ashamed. Maya's face was still flushed.
"Just be willing, and leave the rest alone." Zhu Wenyu laughed.
Maya's aunt Aguli saw the two whispering on the side, and she didn't bother, but just looked at Zhu Wenyu carefully, only thinking that this thin young man was handsome and fast, but he really became a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
"Abba, where are Solang and Zhuo Lang?" Back at the inner hall, Maya asked, and she asked about her two older brothers.
"They are now in Qingshi Village, Ajia Ade Da Tusi, guarding the village together." Amuwang replied casually, looked at Zhu Wenyu suspiciously and asked, "May I ask Zhu ...... Childe, you and Maya ......"
"Abba, he ...... He...... He knew Uncle Xie very well. Maya interrupted Amuwang's questioning and wanted to introduce Zhu Wenyu, but she didn't know what to say for a while, and after holding back for a long time, she came up with a sentence saying that Zhu Wenyu and the leader of the beggar gang "Iron Hand Tianlong" Xie Fei were very familiar, and they were obviously a little out of bounds.
"Oh?" Amuwang suddenly became interested and said, "How is Xie Daxia lately?" ”
"Uncle Xie is in good health, very good." Zhu Wenyu said in his heart that this Xie Fei is the leader of the beggar gang, a super-first-class player in the martial arts, and there is no terminal illness on his body, unless he meets a master, he is afraid that it will be difficult to finish, and he is naturally "very healthy".
"I haven't seen Xie Daxia for six or seven years, and he doesn't come to see my old friend, hehe. Zhu Shaoxia is a member of the beggar gang? Hearing that Zhu Wenyu and Xie Fei were very familiar, Amuwang also changed his mouth to call Zhu Wenyu "Shaoxia".
“…… Oh, I'm ...... I'm not a beggar. "Zhu Wenyu really has a headache, I don't know how to say it.
"Abba, he ...... He is not a beggar, but he is good friends with Uncle Xie. Although Maya was nestled in her mother's arms, she always paid attention to the conversation between Amuwang and Zhu Wenyu, and hurriedly interjected to relieve the siege.
"Maya, you ...... Are you married? Aguli was most concerned about this, and whispered Maya who was in her arms.
“…… Not...... No, Grandma, but ...... Anyway......" Maya blushed again and buried her head in her mother's arms.
"Hehe, good, good." Amuwang naturally saw it in his eyes and laughed loudly. Yunnan ethnic minorities for the Confucian rites are indifferent, for the young men and women between the consensual love is very tolerant, parents rarely interfere, at this time Amuwang and Agul saw that the baby daughter brought home the intended person, and this young and handsome young man as soon as they met called "father-in-law", naturally also affectionate, this is enough, the heart can not help but be very happy.
"May I ask my father-in-law, why did Lijiang fight with the imperial court?" Zhu Wenyu asked. He came here mainly to think about this, he didn't want Maya's maiden family and the court officials and soldiers to do it, not to mention that at this time, the Ming officials and troops had just conquered the country, and the military power was still flourishing.
When he mentioned this, Amu Wang was angry, he said in his mouth, gestured in his hands, and talked for a long time, finally let Zhu Wenyu understand the general situation.
It turned out that Lanyu Muying pacified Yunnan under the leadership of Fu Youde, and the imperial court established a local government, and later Lanyu and Fu Youde returned to the dynasty, and Xiping Hou Muying guarded Kunming, Yunnan, following the example of the Central Plains, setting up a state and a government to carry out local governance. Who knew that those local officials were all sent by the imperial court, and they were all transferred to the Central Plains in the past, and they did not know the local facts, and when they implemented the civil affairs strategy of the imperial court, they forcibly forced the local government to implement them, and they did not know the local customs, and did some things that made the local people seem extremely blasphemous, which aroused public anger. Yunnan is a place inhabited by ethnic minorities, most of the local Tusi and others, like this Amuwang is the Tusi of dozens of miles of the Black Bear Village Fangyuan, Tusi lives in Yunnan, is the local leader, each has a piece of territory, many local affairs in the territory are Tusi has the final say, supported by the people, but most of the local officials in the Ming Dynasty do not know this, and these are not considered at all when dividing the administrative area, and sometimes the territory of a Tusi is assigned to two adjacent counties. Not to mention, when implementing civil affairs, the existence of Tusi was completely ignored, and the order was directly issued to the village, the taxes were levied, and the soldiers were enlisted in the army, which made it extremely chaotic, the people were at a loss, and the power of the Tusi was also hollowed out. In this way, the Tusi everywhere stopped doing it, instigated the indigenous people to resist taxes and taxes, and opposed the local government, the local officials were very panicked, and urgently reported to Mu Ying, the Marquis of Xiping, who was guarding Kunming, Mu Ying thought that Yunnan had just stabilized and rebelled, and hurriedly sent the officials and troops to suppress it.
Amuwang was naturally still angry when he talked about this, mostly talking about how the magistrates were, but Zhu Wenyu understood it and knew it in his heart. How did he know that Amuwang's words made him feel complicated again.
"Originally, my black bear village was located in a remote area, and those dog officials couldn't manage it here. However, last time the Five Immortals Sect Master He sent a letter, saying that Maya was called Zhu ...... Zhu Wenyu's ...... That's not right, isn't it Zhu Shaoxia? Sect Master He said that Maya was killed by you, and said that you are still a person in the court, and you are a big official, Maya's two elder brothers took the people in the village to Ajia Ade Da Tusi in a fit of anger, and fought with the officials and soldiers to avenge Maya. Can be ...... today Maya is back today, and you Zhu Shaoxia, this must be the mistake of Sect Master He, I will bring Solang and Zhuo Lang and our people back tomorrow!" Amuwang slapped his thigh and said.
"You said that He Honghua told you that I killed Maya?"
"Yes, he also said that you are a big official in the court, and if I say that I want to take revenge, I will take someone to find Ajia Ade Da Tusi, and there are also high-ranking people over there to help us fight the official army together. This must be the mistake of Sect Master He, how could Zhu Shaoxia be a member of the imperial court? I'll call Solang and them back tomorrow. ”
"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, my son-in-law does have an official position in the court, but it's not big. It's just that I naturally won't harm Maya, and the court won't harm Maya, but Sect Master He has been fighting against the court with a group of people, and I'm afraid she wants to use her father-in-law when she says this. Zhu Wenyu thought that the matter of the Tianyi Alliance was too widely implicated, and he couldn't tell Amu Wang for a while, so he just vaguely said that He Honghua and another group of people were against the imperial court.
