Chapter 3 Night Talk Behind the Mountain
Yang Jiye originally had ten brothers, but he was sent to the Northern Han as a hostage by his father Yang Gon since he was a child. Yang Gon was originally a minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and after Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutiny and Huang Pao established the Song Dynasty, Yang Gon united the soldiers and horses of the 36 villages and established himself as the king of the volcano in Huotang Village. After the death of their father, the nine brothers returned to the Song Dynasty for various reasons.
And he, Yang Jiye, is like an abandoned child abandoned by his parents, his parents have never taken care of him, and his brother has never visited him. It's better to be an orphan.
The traitor Cai Rong slandered him, saying that his brothers had taken refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, and he was afraid that he would have different intentions. What kind of trumped-up charge is this? Liu Jun, the faint monarch, actually listened to him and imprisoned him in this barren land from then on.
Could it be that the great military exploits he made for the Northern Han Dynasty are not counted? Could it be that the wounds and blood shed on the battlefield are actually a kind of irony?
Fortunately, there is Wang Xin. Before the two of them served in the court, they were already kowtowing brothers. At that time, neither of them had a wife. They are in the prime of their youth. Yang Jiye knew that Wang Xin had worshiped the hermit of Yunmeng Mountain, the descendant of Guiguzi, as his teacher. Proficient in civil and military affairs. had to cut two moves with him, but who knew that the gun and sword had no eyes, and accidentally injured Wang Xin's kidneys, so that Wang Xin still has no heirs.
Although Wang Xin didn't mind, this matter was a scar in Yang Jiye's heart, a scar that could not be cured by any elixir.
For this reason, Yang Jiye disappeared for three years, and no one knows where he went. When I came back, I practiced a wonderful 'Golden Black Knife Technique'.
No one had ever seen him use a gun again, and later, in order not to lose the Yang family's marksmanship, he handed over the "Yang Family Gun Book" to his sons, and the gun score was the only thing his father Yang Gon put in his arms when he came to the Northern Han Dynasty as a hostage. He let his sons practice according to the gun score, and he no longer interfered with the guidance, and it was all up to his talent to learn well or badly.
Yang Jiye thought: "One day my brother has an heir, I will do everything I can to teach him all the skills." ”
Until now, Yang Jiye has been born one after another. Now, his wife is about to give birth again. But Wang Xin still has no heirs.
Thinking of this, he held Wang Xin's hand even tighter.
In the inner courtyard, someone had already swept the snow in the courtyard to both sides, revealing the wooden paved road, and I saw the lights shining in the windows of the main house. At this moment, three people came out of the house, and a pot-bellied woman in the middle, and a child beside her, came to them.
The woman held her stomach and smiled: "I heard the report that my brother is here, I cooked two side dishes, and these dishes are done, why did my brother arrive?"
Wang Xin hurriedly greeted the salute and said, "My sister-in-law is about to give birth, how can she cook so hard?"
The woman said, "How can you be so delicate?"
This woman is Yang Jiye's wife, She Saihua. She wore a red cloth turban around her head and a light blue jacket of coarse cloth. Although it is an ordinary outfit, it is difficult to hide her elegance and dignity. There were shallow fishtail marks at the corners of her eyes, but the hair that peeked out of the red cloth turban was still so black. Although the eyes are single eyelids, they are delicate and bright. The lips that are often pursed forcefully under the high bridge of the nose show the vitality of youth.
The two children beside She Saihua had already knelt down and saluted, "Meet Master!"
Wang Xin didn't support him, and waved his arrow sleeves and said: "Hey, every time you come back, it's always such a big gift, isn't it annoying?
Yang Jiye had long known that Wang Xin had regarded his children as his own children, and when Yang Jiye wanted to pass on Liuyang Yanzhao to Wang Xin, Wang Xin said with a stiff face: "Big brother, don't talk to me, your child is my child, what else to talk about." ”
At the beginning, Yang Jiye had the idea of teaching all his martial arts to Wang Xin's heirs. But this idea has become a reality here for Wang Xin. I don't know two words, although I was an official in the court, I also asked the children to teach Mr. But since he was imprisoned here, who wants to deal with him? Even the county government is not willing to send him the living expenses that the court pays every month. Every time, I had to let the housekeeper pick it up by himself.
Thanks to Wang Xin's both civil and military skills, he taught the children martial arts and literary arts. So that the children will not waste their studies.
Yang Jiye heard Wang Xin say this at this time, and knew that he had already regarded himself as a member of this family, so he nodded in agreement at the moment: "That's it, those rules and etiquette are annoying, if Lao Tzu also salutes each other when he goes to the battlefield to fight and kill the enemy, will there be a ...... to fight?"
These two children are Yang Yande and Yang Yanzhao. When they heard Wang Xin and their father say this, they both stood up. Yande is only about ten years old, and Yanzhao is only six or seven years old. The two children resembled two silver dolls, with round pink faces. It's very cute.
Wang Xin had already guessed Yang Jiye's thoughts, and immediately interjected the topic without a trace, he rubbed his palms, sniffed the aroma in the room, and said: "I don't know what my sister-in-law has made delicious, this fragrance has hooked my saliva out"
Yang Jiye said: "Yes, yes, hurry up and enter the house! Eat meat and drink wine" forgot the unhappiness in his heart for a while. He was already a good drinker, and he used wine to relieve his sorrows in the past year, so that he was almost at the level of wine.
I saw a silk screen in the house, on which a colorful tiger was depicted, rushing down from the mountain, unstoppable. On the table in the hall were a jar of wine, a plate of braised pork, and a plate of vinegar meatballs.
Wang Xin said happily: "Vinegar dumplings with bamboo leaf green, there is nothing better than this"
Everyone sat down, the Yang family itself is a martial arts family, and at this time they live in the countryside, so they don't pay attention to the saying that men are superior to women, and She Saihua is also sitting on the seat. Only Yande Yanzhao served and poured wine on the side.
She Saihua asked: "My brother usually goes around Shanhou Village and passes by the woods behind the mountain, one is for fear that the government will know that you are here, and the other is to not alarm the people of Shanhou Village, what happened today?"
Wang Xin smiled slightly and said, "Usually walking alone in that dense forest makes it, but today it is not possible." He saw that several people were engrossed in listening to his explanation. After taking a sip of wine, he said, "Today, your brother and sister also followed, he sat in the carriage, and it was inconvenient to exercise the woods. ”
When the four of them heard this, they were all surprised and delighted.
Yang Jiye and She Saihua said in unison: "My brother and sister are here, where is she?"
Wang Xindao: "Just because when he passed by Shanhou Village, he saw that the village was depressed and poor, so he gave all the food I brought to my brother and sister-in-law to the villagers. I was anxious to see my eldest brother, so I came over first. ”
Yang Jiye said: "Hey, why didn't you say it earlier, wait for me to let the four eldest sons go and pick up the younger siblings......"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a gentle voice coming from outside the door: "Brother and sister-in-law, don't pick up, I'm here." ”
