Volume III Chapter 21 Legends
The weekly wedding did not have the bride waiting in the room, and the groom went out to greet the guests, and there was not even a wine banquet.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, getting married is not a happy event, and even for the families of the bride and groom, it is a "full of grief".
For the woman: "The house of marrying a woman does not extinguish the candle for three nights, and the thoughts are separated." ”
It means that when the daughter gets married, the mother's family will light candles all night for three consecutive nights (the "candle" at that time was not a candle, but similar to a torch and torch) to express the nostalgia for the daughter.
And the man is: "The house of the married woman, three days without fun, thinking about the heirs." ”
It means that the family that marries a daughter-in-law cannot engage in any recreational activities for three days, because the son marrying a daughter-in-law means that the son has grown up and the parents have grown old.
Therefore, after the ceremony, the guests will disperse, and the rest of the time will be the private time of the young couple.
"Changfeng, can't I call you by your name in the future? My mother said that after we get married, we will have to change our words to call you General or Husband, and you will call me Mrs. ”
"Don't listen to her, you still call me Changfeng, I call you Aqing, no matter what identity I am in the future, I will always be your Changfeng, and you will always be my Aqing. ”
"Changfeng, you're so nice. ”
"Ah Qing. ”
"Huh?"
"Today the Queen has given me a task. ”
"What task, do you want me to help?"
"Yes, without you, I would never have been able to complete the mission. ”
"Ah, what kind of mission is it?"
"She wants us to give birth to a few more generals for the Yue country. ”
"Huh? But...... But how do you give birth?"
"I probably know a little, I'll teach you. ”
"Oh!
“......”
"Uh......h It hurts. ”
......
Luo Changfeng finally decided, put the queen's request aside for the time being, Ah Qing is only seventeen years old, she is still too young, and it is not good for her to have a child now.
Spring goes to autumn, the rest of the year has passed in a flash, Luo Changfeng has entered this world for nearly two years, and the first batch of fifty swordsmen have finally learned the swordsmanship of the ape and can begin to teach the whole army.
The sword training ground in the western suburbs of Huiji City.
Luo Changfeng stood on the stage, holding a bamboo stick A Qing and Fan Li, who was hanging a long sword from his waist, stood side by side on the side of the queue under the stage, quietly watching Luo Changfeng.
Luo Changfeng glanced at the swordsmen from left to right, whose spirit and spirit were very different from those of Yu Yu before, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, you have learned my swordsmanship, and you all have three points of fire. ”
"But this is only the beginning, not the end, you are now comprehending the mystery of swordsmanship, but I am one or two, when I teach my colleagues in the future, I also need to practice diligently, and I must not be complacent. ”
"Do you remember them all?"
Fifty swordsmen clasped their fists and shouted in unison, "Follow the general's teachings." ”
Luo Changfeng nodded slowly, and said: "Very good, in this case, let's return to the camp!" Allow you to rest for three days, and after three days, start a large-scale military training, and this general wants you to pass on the swordsmanship to all the swordsmen as quickly as possible, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"Yes. ”
The swordsmen gathered and returned to the camp, and Luo Changfeng walked towards Ah Qing and Fan Li, who were looking at him with a smile.
Fan Li hugged his fists at Luo Changfeng and smiled: "Changfeng, congratulations, now you can finally unload the burden on your shoulders and rest for some time." ”
Luo Changfeng had a happy smile on his face, looked at Ah Qing and said, "Yes, I haven't been with Ah Qing for a long time, from tomorrow, I will accompany you to shepherd sheep and tell you stories, do you say okay?"
Ah Qing was overjoyed, and said coquettishly: "Of course, you wait for me, I'll go and drive the sheep back." ”
After Ah Qing finished speaking, he happily jumped to the grove, Fan Li looked at Ah Qing's back and sighed: "Ah Qing is still so lively and cute, it hasn't changed at all." ”
Luo Changfeng smiled and said, "After all, she is only an eighteen-year-old child. ”
"Uh......" Fan Li glanced at Luo Changfeng in astonishment, he, an ancient man in the Spring and Autumn Period, naturally couldn't understand Luo Changfeng's thinking in later generations.
Luo Changfeng spoiled Ah Qing to the sky, protected her too well, the family has always been taken care of by Qing's mother, and Ah Qing doesn't have to worry about anything, and she doesn't have to take care of anything, so she doesn't have to be infected by any mundane affairs.
Ah Qing's daily life is to drive the sheep to graze in the forest, and then go to the sword training ground to watch Luo Changfeng teach the swordsman to practice the sword.
Halfway, she would run back to the General's Mansion to bring Luo Changfeng a delicious meal, and the rest of the time, even if she didn't do anything, she would just sit there and watch Luo Changfeng for a day, and she would be happy.
has been married to a wife for more than a year, but Ah Qing is no different from before she got married, she is still like that, like a happy elf.
Luo Changfeng hopes that she can maintain this state for the rest of her life.
"Changfeng, you won't take it seriously in the future and accompany A-Qing to shepherd sheep every day, right?"
Luo Changfeng asked rhetorically, "Do I need to take care of anything?"
Fan Li cried and laughed and said: "You are still a swordsman general, how can you take care of those five thousand swordsmen, right? You are not afraid that others will call you 'Shepherd General' in the future." ”
The corners of Luo Changfeng's mouth curved, and he said: "What about the shepherd general? In this life, I only live for Ah Qing, and when I help the king achieve hegemony, I will resign and go into hiding, and I will accompany Ah Qing to sing every day." ”
"Besides, wouldn't those 5,000 swordsmen be fine without me, a Chinese general? ”
Fan Li was stunned, he walked out of the sword training ground side by side with Luo Changfeng in silence, and the soldiers not far away had already begun to dismantle the tents, and after guarding here for a year, they could finally return to the camp.
"Why did you suddenly stop talking, what were you thinking?"
Fan Li came back to his senses, sighed lightly and shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, Changfeng, with the current strength of the Yue Kingdom, how long do you think it will take for us to destroy Wu?"
Luo Changfeng thought for a while and said categorically: "Two years at most, within two years, the swordsman's swordsmanship can be achieved, and the opportunity to destroy Wu will appear." ”
Luo Changfeng's two years is a conservative estimate, after all, those fifty swordsmen, each of whom has to teach a hundred people, will slow down the progress somewhat, but it will definitely not take two years.
Fan Li's spirits perked up, and he secretly said in his heart: "Two years, two years, Yiguang, wait for me, wait for me for two more years, and after two years, I will definitely pick you up." ”
"When I take you back, I will be like Changfeng, and the doctor will not do it, but I will take a boat with you all day long, drifting in the rivers and lakes, and drifting like this for a lifetime. ”
Luo Changfeng glanced at him, and suddenly his heart moved, he remembered a legend in history, that legend, that legend is about Fan Li and Xi Shi.
However, he said that after Gou Jian was sent back to Yue by his husband, he adopted the "Nine Techniques of Destroying Wu" of the literature, one of which was the beauty plan, and he wanted to use the beauty voice to kill the will of the husband.
Fan Li was ordered to travel all over the country to search for beauties, on the bank of the stream under Lizhuang Mountain in Zhuji, Fan Li saw Xi Shi who was washing clothes, deeply moved by his beauty, and Xi Shi also admired Fan Li's pride, and the two fell in love at first sight.
But at that time, Yue Guo was at the moment of life and death, and there was no time for the two to fall in love.
It is recorded in "The Legend of Huansha" that Fan Li said to Xi Shi: "The society is abandoned, thanks to this move, if you can drift away, then the country can survive, and my body can also be protected, and there will be a period in the future, and it is not known." ”
"If you don't do it, the country will be destroyed, and my body will die, although I will marry at that time, you and I will be ghosts of the ditch together, and why should I seek the joy of a hundred years?"
Xi Shi was moved by Fan Li's loyalty and patriotism, for the sake of the country, they had to put the individual aside, Xi Shi agreed to Fan Li, for the Yue country to go undercover in Wu State.
Could it be that this legend is true? Fan Li wanted to destroy Wu in his heart in order to recapture Xi Shi?
