Chapter 08: Zi Yu self-recommended
In the backyard of the Poyang County Ya, Xiang Zhuang picked up a room and prepared to rest for a while, after which he would rush to Yi County by boat to prepare to meet Wu Fang.
The wedding is coming, it stands to reason that Xiang Zhuang should be so excited that it is difficult to sleep, at least, at this time, he should not be so calm, but I don't know why, Xiang Zhuang sat on the soft seat in the room, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand, but he had no intention of swallowing.
After sitting for a while, Xiang Zhuang felt sleepy, these days of running, really made him tired, he put down the teacup, got up and came to the bed, about to lie down, suddenly, the hurried door sounded: "Knock knock." ”
A guard shouted outside the room, "My lord, there are people outside the house who want to see you." ”
Xiang Zhuang was a little surprised, in Poyang, except for the people who came with him, Xiang Zhuang did not have any old friends, but when he was about to leave, someone visited, which was somewhat strange, Xiang Zhuang thought for a while, and finally, he still got up and ordered: "Bring him in." ”
Xiang Zhuang grabbed the big coat on the side and draped it on his body, walked back and forth in the house for a few steps, no sleepiness, Xiang Zhuang walked to the window, pushed open the window, the sun was shining in the house, warm as spring, at this time, there was a faint sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and soon, there were relatives and guards to announce: "The king, people have brought." ”
"Come in." Xiang Zhuang's voice was slightly tired, the door was pushed open, and a young man dressed in a cyan coat walked into the house with the guards. ”
"Gentleman?" Xiang Zhuang was slightly surprised, he looked the gentleman up and down, he had not seen this person, he couldn't help but look at the guards on the side, his eyes were mostly reproachful, the guards were slightly panicked, hurriedly stepped forward, and presented a jade card with both hands, Xiang Zhuang took it and looked at it, the jade plate was given to the old warlock, and the gentleman in front of him must have some relationship with the old warlock.
"What is your relationship with Fan Yi (the old warlock)?" Xiang Zhuang did not shy away from it, after all, this kind of jade card is unparalleled in the world, it is the only material evidence that he left to the old warlock Fan Yi, and it is also his day, the old warlock asked to see his knock token, and now the gentleman is holding this jade card, which makes Xiang Zhuang a little surprised, and the gentleman replied unhurriedly: "Back to the king, I am Fan Yi's righteous son, as early as a year ago, I have been involved in the mysterious work of Yugan County, the smelting of oil and oil, I have also participated." ”
Hearing the gentleman mention the oil oil, Xiang Zhuang's eyes were like torches, staring at him quietly, and he said in surprise: "Do you know the oil oil? ”
"Yes, not only do I know, I also know how to configure the gunpowder that the king wants, however, my father-in-law is still debugging at this time, and he asked me to bring a message to the king, and he will do his best to do the gunpowder, but ......" Speaking of this, the gentleman paused.
Xiang Zhuang saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
"It's just that my father-in-law hopes that I can follow the king and make meritorious contributions, instead of staying in the camp and doing hard labor for a lifetime, please accept me." After the gentleman finished speaking, he bowed his head and bowed, Xiang Zhuang looked at him with a burly physique and extraordinary words, besides, ordinary people would be nervous when they saw themselves, and he was not negligent at all from beginning to end, but nodded and said: "You get up." ”
At this time, Xiang Zhuang stepped forward, pressed his hands the shoulders of the gentleman, and felt that the gentleman was strong and strong, and he was indeed a general, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what weapon are you best at?" ”
"I'm the best at spearing, and if I give me a spear, I'll be able to fight on the battlefield without taking half a step back." The gentleman arched his hand, Xiang Zhuang nodded with satisfaction: "Light will not make brute force, you must learn to arrange troops, strategize, in addition, I think you are suitable for drawing a bow, you have strong arms, you should be a good archer." ”
"I would like to listen to the king's cultivation." At this time, Xiang Zhuang looked at the sun outside, it was almost noon, it was time to go, but patted the gentleman's shoulder and said: "I will teach you slowly in the future, but for now, we should go." ”
……
Leaving Yuganhe Port, Xiangzhuang's fleet traveled along Poyang Lake to the Yangtze River Basin, nearly 100 large ships rode the wind and waves, marching rapidly, on the ships, not only hung the purple battle flag of Chu State, but also some gardenia poles, above the cabin, hung red silk, to reflect the joy of Chu State to welcome relatives.
The mighty fleet, the whole is in the shape of a zigzag, every three ships are a column, and they are released forward, and after a day and a night, finally within the agreed time, the ships of the Chu army came to the port of Shaxian River.
The Hengshan army, which had been waiting in the river port, immediately beat gongs and drums, blew musical instruments, and sang and danced on the shore, and soon, the big ship of Chu gradually docked, and a piece of boat board was put on the shore, and there were already Xiang Zhuang's personal guards and the tiger army responsible for escorting Xiang Zhuang landed one after another, and a team of Chu army guards wearing red robes took out half a tael of money that had already been prepared, and waved it into the air, and the people flocked to scramble.
As soon as Xiang Zhuang landed on the shore, there were guards who came to warhorse, and Xiang Zhuang led the generals to get on the horse and gallop towards Yi County.
On an inconspicuous big ship, Ying Xueyue, who was at a loss, watched Xiang Zhuang ride the horse away and gradually move away, she walked towards the cabin gloomily, not knowing when it would be her turn to have such a festive wedding.
In front of the Wu Mansion, there were already Hengshan County and Jiujiang County lined up, responsible for maintaining order, the entire street was blocked, in front of the Mansion Gate, red lanterns, red silk can be seen everywhere, two bonfires are lit in front of the door, and a family member who is responsible for watching sees the Chu army galloping from afar, he shouted happily: "Uncle is here, Uncle is here, set off firecrackers." ”
Several subordinates hurriedly threw the prepared bamboo into the fire, the bamboo crackled in the fire, at this time, Xiang Zhuang's cavalry team had rushed to the front, and the celebrant in charge of the wedding had already greeted him, shouting in front of the door: "Uncle is visiting, please ......"
After a simple etiquette with Wu Rui, a red carriage and a team of Hengshan personal guards, and several wedding maids escorted the carriage out of Wu's mansion, Xiang Zhuang ordered the personal guards to scatter more copper coins, and then led the army to escort the carriage and went to the river port.
Watching Xiang Zhuang leave, Wu Rui felt a little lost in her heart, her daughter got married, but as soon as her daughter left, her line suddenly became empty, but the loss was only for a moment, Wu Rui recovered from the loss, looked at the full house of guests, and laughed: "I have set up a banquet in the mansion, everyone enter the mansion." ”
Xiang Zhuang's team came to the river port, Xiang Zhuang turned over and dismounted, and came to the carriage in person, a maid lifted the curtain, Wu Fang put his head on his head, and walked out of the carriage, Xiang Zhuang smiled on the side: "Miss Fang, we should get on the boat." ”
Wu Fang just wanted to scorn Xiang Zhuang, he had a hijab on his head and couldn't get on the boat, but Xiang Zhuang had already pulled his hands, picked up Wu Fang, and laughed: "Hold your daughter-in-law on the sedan chair ......"
The river harbor echoed with the laughter of the sergeants.
……
Three days later, Xiang Zhuang's flotilla returned to Jiangchenghe Port, and the main force of the Chu army, which had been waiting for a long time, escorted the welcoming team back to the palace of Chu under the leadership of Ding Gu.
At the same time, another team was marching towards Wu County, led by one person, wearing a dark red military robe and a scarf, he was Kong Ji, the chief strategist under Xiang Zhuang.
Today is not only the day when the King of Chu marries the princess of Chu, if it is the day when Kong Xiuyun passes the door, but Xiang Zhuang must accompany Wu Fang's car, therefore, according to the customs of the Chu people, Kong Ji is Kong Xiuyun's elder brother, and it is most appropriate for him to send Kong Xiuyun into the palace.
Singing and dancing along the way, the people avoided both sides, and all looked at the big red carriage not far in front with envy.
Soon, Kong Ji's team came to the front of the Confucian Mansion, and Kong Kun, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and said loudly: "Today is the day of the little girl's marriage, and the Confucian Mansion has prepared a banquet. ”
"Congratulations to Mr. Kong."
"Congratulations to the Kong family."
Many people celebrated, at this time, the matchmaker was carrying Kong Xiuyun, who had already put on her hijab, and on the side was Xiaolian who was married, although Xiaolian was slightly lost, after all, she also loved Xiang Zhuang deeply, but in the end, she had no chance to marry him, so she could only pin her deep thoughts on Miss and accompany her every day and night in the palace of Chu in the future.
The mood of marrying a daughter is bitter, Kong Kun stepped forward, looked at the daughter who was about to get into the car, and admonished: "The palace of Chu is not as good as the family, you are cheating, fighting openly and secretly, and it is inevitable to fight for favor, you have entered the palace, as a father, I can no longer take care of you, although your brother is in an official position, but he cannot participate in the battle of the harem, you ...... Do it yourself. ”
Kong Xiuyun was already teary-eyed, when she held back her tears, covered her head, nodded slightly, and choked up: "Father, don't worry." ”
"Let's go!" Kong Ji shouted loudly beside him, the matchmaker carried Kong Xiuyun to the side of the carriage, Kong Xiuyun approached the carriage, paused, she still didn't hold back the reluctance to part, looked back at her father in the distance, and tears couldn't stop falling: "Father take care, daughter goes." ”
Accompanied by the sound of drums, Kong Xiuyun's carriage slowly moved towards the Chu Palace.
