At noon, Changsha City is in sight.

Changsha City in winter, a vast and heavy, truncated the sky.

There is a star in the sky, named Changsha Star. There is a city under it, so it is named Changsha City.

The light is fleeting, the stars are eternal, and the gray, black and white bricks and stones of the city wall are built with blood-colored history. Standing on the east shore of Xiangshui, the city wall of this majestic city silently tells the years.

The west wind is blowing, and there should be few pedestrians, and merchants do not come out; On the 39th day, it stands to reason that the guards are sleepy, and the soldiers release water.

But today, for some reason, the city gate is quite lively.

There is a lot of traffic, especially the porters. They wore straw sandals, and their faces were bitter from the cold, but they forced themselves to rejoice, and carried a load of red suitcases to the city.

There were a few servants in brocade clothes, with beaming faces on their faces, standing at the gate of the city to greet visitors, wandering among them, left and right; When he turned his face, he looked at the porter with a different face, scolding and even scolding at every turn.

There are also some heroes of the rivers and lakes, holding all kinds of blades, with blood stains, but with a reluctant friendly smile on their faces, after showing the tokens, they nodded to the people in brocade clothes who welcomed the guests, and entered the city.

Occasionally, there are officials and squires who come in sedan chairs. They often call the parking horse in advance, lift the curtain, poke their heads out, take a look at Changsha City, glance at the crowd, sigh with emotion, casually take a look, and want to chant a sour poem. When it came to his mouth, the ink in his stomach was all tainted by last night's delicacies. Good sentences are hard to find, witty words are hard to find, so I have to give up, and I can't get enough of it, so I can only urge the coachman to enter the city quickly.

Sleepless at night witnessing this splendid prosperity, I don't like it, I faintly disgust it. Xin said: "Today is only 39 days, and it is not a festival. How is this Changsha City so lively? ”

Seeing that there were many red boxes with the word "Xi" on them, he realized in his heart: "It turns out that someone is married." But I don't know what kind of person gets married, and can alarm so many people! The end is to have face. ”

He thought that no one would do anything if they got married. He wished, as long as he quickly entered the city and saw the young lady, it was enough.

When he came to the city gate and was about to enter, a servant in brocade clothes staggered the flow of people, walked up to him, and said with a smile: "This girl, do you have an invitation?" ”

Sleepless shook his head and said, "I just went into the city, and there was no invitation." ”

The smile of the brocade servant was immediately closed, and he flicked his sleeves, shook his head indifferently and said, "If you don't have an invitation, you can't enter the city." ”

Sleepless looked at him and said, "I've never heard that you need an invitation to enter the city, but Lu Yin has one." ”

The brocade servant snorted and said, "I don't look at the road guide today, just look at the invitation!" If you don't have an invitation, please return quickly! ”

With a wave of his hand, two fat and strong, stubborn sergeants walked from behind the city gate, and the swords in their hands were shining brightly, and they were snow-white; With a fleshy face and angry glare, if you don't sleep at night, you will definitely subdue it.

After thinking about it for a while, I had to give up the idea of entering the city for the time being.

The two sergeants naturally have nothing to fear, but the sergeants of the city represented behind the two sergeants are particularly terrifying. He is a person who has experienced the encirclement and suppression of the government, and he knows the strength of the formed army best.

He smiled, clasped his fists at the servant in brocade and said, "The little woman is abrupt. But may I ask what is the cause of such martial law in the city today? ”

A heroic man in the crowd interjected: "Little girl, you don't know this? Today, it is a good day for the wedding of the grandson of King Ji of Changsha, and the whole Hunan and Jiangxi Ji'an Prefecture have come to participate. ”

Before he could react, the brocade servant waved his hand and said, "You don't have an invitation, please leave quickly, don't take advantage of the joy and block the joy!" ”

Sleepless Ye hugged his fist at the hero who interjected, and walked away expressionlessly.

The joy of a family occupies a city. neither can the gate enter, nor the city.

Is this the state of the world?

He looked back at the dense sentry posts on the city wall, and knew that he couldn't break through, so he had to find another way.

On the outskirts, a small road leading to Changsha City.

The pines and cypresses are green, and the forest is still green in winter.

A swordsman from the rivers and lakes, with thick eyebrows, riding a yellow horse, carrying a nine-ring machete, galloping on the path, picking up the wine jug from time to time, drinking two sips, laughing, and being extremely chic.

In the midst of pride, I saw a beautiful and delicate little girl on the side of the road, holding a tree with one hand and crying with her head down.

Although his face was not visible, his delicate body trembled slightly, and it was obvious that his grief was difficult to hide.

The swordsman's smile froze for a moment. Hurriedly reined in the horse's head, turned over and dismounted, and cautiously approached the little maid, for fear of startling her.

Just asked: "Little girl, what's wrong with you?" Why are you crying on the side of the road, but what injustice has happened? ”

As he spoke, he removed the knife from his back and swung it twice, causing a buzzing sound.

"Tell my brother! If someone bullies you, my brother will use this nine-ring machete to cut off someone's head and give you a night pot. ”

When the maid saw the machete, she panicked and took a few steps back.

It seemed that seeing the swordsman was not harmless, his face was full of pear blossoms and rain, and he cried sadly: "There is no injustice in the slave family, and no one bullies me, let alone use a human head as a night pot." ”

The swordsman was puzzled for a while, "tons and tons" poured a few sips of wine, sighed so spicy, and burped: "In this case, what are you crying on the side of the road?" Disturb the uncle's interest, hum! ”

When he turned around and was about to leave, the corner of his clothes was grabbed.

The swordsman turned his head, and it was the face of the maid who I saw pity.

"Brother, let the slave family tell you: The slave family was originally a servant of the family in the city, and a few days ago he went out of the city to visit relatives in the countryside, and agreed with the master's family to come back today. But when I came today, the gate of the city had been guarded by the regiments, and I heard that it was the wedding of King Ji's grandson, and those who did not have an invitation were not allowed to enter.

The little girl comes from a humble background, how can she have an invitation? Seeing that the appointment with the master's family was about to expire, he could not enter the city to go to the appointment on time. If the return date is missed, it will annoy the master's family and deduct the slave's salary. The slave family is already poor, so it is even worse, it is to cry bitterly in this desperate way! ”

After the maid finished speaking, she cried again, and the listener wept and the listener was sad.

The swordsman took a sip of wine, drank it until it was finished, spit out a throat of wine, and laughed: "What is my Tao, it turns out to be such a trivial matter!" Isn't that easy? ”

As he spoke, the swordsman threw away the wine jug, touched it in his arms, took out an invitation, handed it to the maid, and said: "Originally, when I received this bird invitation, I was not happy: what King Ji and King Rooster, his cheap grandson got married, and he also had to work Uncle Ben to go to the banquet?" ”

He smiled and said, "Okay now, I happened to meet someone who needed this invitation, so Uncle Ben won't deign it." Take my invitation and go into the city, and I'll go back the way I came, and go home and go on drinking. ”

As he spoke, the swordsman turned over and got on his horse and whipped away.

The maid hurriedly said, "Brother, you gave me the invitation, what about you?" ”

"Long-winded!" The swordsman untied a wine jug from his waist again, took a sip and said, "Didn't I just say that I would go back the way I came!" ”

After saying that, the swordsman laughed, galloped away, and sang a few lines of poetry leisurely.

"The Son of Heaven can't get on the boat, and he claims to be a wine fairy!"

"Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person!"
