Chapter 005 Dressed in the South
In 306 A.D. (the first year of Guangxi), the Rebellion of the Eight Kings ended.
In the course of the Eight Kings Rebellion, the kings were defeated one after another, the people suffered heavy casualties, the social economy was severely destroyed, and the power of the Western Jin Dynasty gradually weakened. With the outbreak of class contradictions and ethnic contradictions, two years ago, foreign ethnic groups such as the Xiongnu, Qian, Xianbei, Di, and Qiang entered the Central Plains one after another, and the northern region of the Central Plains entered a period of more than 100 years of "Wuhu Chaos."
Ten years later, the Western Jin Dynasty fell, and even Qingliang County, known as half of a paradise, was about to be invaded by the Hu people (here referring to the Qiang people).
In 317 A.D., one day before the Dragon Boat Festival, the charioteer who had just returned from traveling from abroad hurriedly ran to the mansion.
"Master, no, sir, no......" the coachman hurriedly shouted before he could enter the door.
"What do you look like in a hurry, why can't you enter the door?" the butler rushed to reprimand when he heard the voice.
"Something big has happened, and the Hu people are going to fight. The coachman gasped as he leaned against the door.
The butler also panicked when he heard him say this, and did not allow him to rest, and hurriedly dragged him to see the master.
Jihyun was walking with her daughter in the back garden to enjoy the flowers, and her daughter pouted, holding a folded bamboo strip and beating the flowers on both sides, needless to say, it was the words that made her angry.
Nian Su has reached the age of the year, and the appearance is beautiful and generous. It makes people feel that they are not aware of the feeling of being despised and desecrated and appreciated.
The year of Ji Xuan is already at the age of engagement, and Zhixian also has the heart to accept Nianyu as Xu, but Nianxu has always disagreed.
Danqing and Nianyu began to study in private school in the second year after coming down from the mountain, of course, in Wang Yuanwai's house, Danqing is considered to be incidental, and Danqing does not come to class when he is busy at home.
Nian Su saw that Danqing also read private school, so he clamored to read it, and Zhixian loved this daughter very much, so he naturally relied on her.
Although Danqing often misses class, he still doesn't want to deal with her, but Nianxu's love for him has not diminished but increased, and sometimes even Nianxu himself can't figure out what he likes about him, but there is such an inexplicable force in his heart that makes him love him.
This did not destroy the Western Jin Dynasty, and most of the people migrated south to avoid the harm of the Wuhu.
Danqing hadn't come to the private school for several days, and Nianyu was in a bad mood, and Nianyu mentioned to her father about her engagement to her at this time. Nian Su was going to run to find Danqing after knowing it, but was stopped by his father who followed him. This is the scene of the father and daughter taking a walk in the back garden.
Jihyun saw the butler and the driver who had gone out to buy goods hurrying over, so he waved his hand and motioned for them to wait. Here comforted the daughter, "Baby girl, don't be angry, Nianyu also knows that it is wrong, I have punished him." Why don't you go back to your room first, and I'll accompany you as soon as Daddy finishes handling things. β
Nian Su is actually very reasonable, but as soon as he encounters something about himself and Brother Danqing, he immediately feels like a different person, and he is particularly prone to impetuousness. At this time, he was not so angry, so he agreed to his father and walked towards the room.
When the housekeeper saw the young lady leaving, he hurriedly rushed to the master and said, "Master, it's not good, the Hu people are coming." β
When Jihyun heard the news, he saw that the coachman was also on the side, and knew that the news would not be wrong, and his body couldn't help shaking, and the one who should have come has finally come. Although Zhixian does not participate in political affairs, he still understands the current political situation, the Eight Kings Rebellion consumes too much, and foreign invasions are inevitable, but when this fact really comes, it is still difficult to accept it in his heart.
"How far is the Hu people?" asked Jihyun to the coachman.
"It was only fifty miles from this, and when I got the news, I urged my horse to come back. At this point, the coachman was not as gasping as he used to be.
"Fifty miles, plus the time it took you to travel, they should be less than thirty miles at this time, and it is almost dark, if they get out of the mountain before they block the pass, they can escape. Jihyun analyzed.
At this time, the Jin family had moved to Jiankang Dingdu, and Zhixian instructed the housekeeper to quickly inform the lady, young lady, and young master to pack up and set off overnight to Jiankang. Another person was sent to inform the neighbors.
As soon as Nian Su got the news, he immediately rushed out of the door and ran to Danqing's house.
The palace is a large household in the county, located in the north, and Chu Kunyu's family is in the southwest, and the distance between the two families is really not close.
When Nian Su ran to Chu's house, he was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him. The eyes were full of plain images, the door was not closed, and the white paper fell to the ground, rattling.
Nian Su trembled and walked through the door, and saw Danqing and Ziniu and his wife kneeling in the mourning hall. Xu is three people were already too sad, and when they walked to the front, the three of them didn't even notice. In the middle is the spirit card with the book "The Position of Loving Father Chu Kunyu", and the oil in the Changming lamp has been burned some, and it has been a few days since Uncle Chu left.
Nian Su first kowtowed to Uncle Chu four times, and then got up and walked in front of Danqing, Danqing saw a pair of familiar embroidered shoes in his eyes, and knew that Nian Su was coming. Danqing raised his head and looked at Nian Su, but he didn't say anything, so he lowered his head again.
At this time, Danqing's heart was not only painful, but also guilty, and he couldn't forgive himself, because he knew that Kunyu was leaving, and Danqing didn't call him "Father!"
It turned out that Kunyu went to the mountains to collect medicine for the family's livelihood, and then took it to the pharmacy to sell it, and then exchanged it for some necessities for life. As for the silver left by Wang Yuanwai before, Kun Yu asked Danqing to return it at that time. He also told sΓΉ Danqing that "there must be a degree of behavior and a way to get money." β
Chu Kunyu originally fled here, but was fortunate to meet Liu, who married him despite the opposition of his family. Seeing that the Liu family was like this, the Liu family broke off relations with her and moved the family to Jiangnan.
It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, Kunyu went up the mountain to collect medicine, ready to exchange money to buy some things for the festival, but there are often people nearby, this time he walked farther, who knew that he met Hu Ren Xizuo, was injured by arrows, and fled to the foot of the mountain and fainted. It was still a kind-hearted herb picker who met Inform Ziniu, so he took Kun Yu home, and when he brought it home, he was already out of breath.
After Ziniu came to this house, he was diligent and diligent, and he was very loved by Kunyu, and Shan Mo also had a good impression of him. Three years later, Ziniu and Shan Mo became husband and wife. Now that his father-in-law is dead, Ziniu is also very sad.
Seeing that Danqing ignored him, Nian Xu walked up to Zi Niu and told him about Hu Ren's imminent arrival.
After all, Ziniu has experienced a lot of things, and when he heard what Nianxu said, he hurriedly got up, picked up his wife, and walked to Danqing and slapped him, "Now that I know that I am sad, don't you feel fake? β
After Danqing was beaten, he looked up at Ziniu.
Seeing that he had recovered some of his normality, Zi Niu told him what had happened and decided to bury his father-in-law now.
Danqing and Shan Mo also agreed.
After Danqing returned to normal, he saw that Nian Su was still here, so he urged her to hurry home. And said, "After I bury my father, I will go to Jiankang with my sister and brother-in-law, and I will contact you when the time comes." β
Nian Su heard Danqing say this, she was reluctant to leave, but when she saw Danqing's eyes, she changed her mind, bowed to Uncle Chu again, and turned to leave.
Ziniu and Danqing carried Kunyu's coffin and walked towards the foot of the mountain, which was the place that Kunyu had chosen before, that is, Liu's tomb.
After Nian Su returned home, the family had already cleaned up, and he left himself.
When Jihyun saw his daughter come back, he wanted to reprimand her, but after seeing the tears on her face, he endured it. Instead, he came over to help his daughter get into the car, and then turned his head and told the housekeeper to leave.
At this time, when he arrived, he had just walked to the mountain pass, and found that the mountain pass was full of fire, and the sound of shouting and wailing was very harsh, and the villagers who had fled in front had been killed.
It turned out that the Hu people sent cavalry to arrive first, because they were afraid that someone would escape, because the Hu people had already heard that this place was not affected by the civil strife and was very rich.
Seeing that there was Hu Bing in front of him, Jihyun hurriedly asked the housekeeper to turn around and go back.
The Hu soldiers in front had also discovered this group of people, and a few cavalrymen urged their horses to kill them.
Suddenly, Danqing found that there was a lot of fire in the mountain pass, and knew that it might be that Hu Bing had blocked the exit.
Danqing suddenly thought that a place he had found might be able to hide, that place was discovered when he occasionally helped his father collect medicine, it was very secret, and it should be difficult for outsiders to find.
Thinking of this, Danqing said his thoughts. Ziniu and Shan Mo didn't have any good ideas, so they agreed to follow Danqing to the hiding place.
The secret place that Danqing said was in Ye Doufeng, at this time it was completely dark, and it was a moonless day, and the mountain road was quite difficult. Danqing led the way in front, and Ziniu helped Shan Mo to follow behind. Fortunately, the three of them often go up the mountain to collect medicine, and they don't feel too tired.
"Ah......h
Ziniu and Shan Mo were frightened by this sudden shout, and after reacting, they asked Danqing what happened. But there was no response. The two shouted softly "Danqing" a few more times, but there was still no response.
At this time, the two of them panicked, and they didn't care whether they were exposed or not, and shouted Danqing's name loudly, but there was still someone to answer.
The two searched for a while but didn't find it, Ziniu knew that Shan Mo loved this "younger brother" very much, so he comforted, "Danqing is not small, let's go up the mountain first, and then come to look for him during the day." β
Shan Mo saw that there was no other way, so he had to agree to climb up the mountain with Ziniu.
Here, the Hu cavalry has almost finished killing the team outside the king. Seeing that there were no more people standing, some of them urged their horses to go to the carriage, and some went to inspect the battlefield.
A Hu man came to the carriage in which Nianxu was riding and lifted the curtain, and when he saw that there was a woman sitting in the car, he screamed and shouted.
At this time, Nian Su, who was sitting in the car, was already scared stupid, just now she heard the fight outside, and when she lifted the curtain, she saw the scene of people dying and bleeding, and she was cut in half, some were cut in half, some were cut in half, and some were cut in half by a knife...... In short, they were all afterimages, and these afterimages were so frightened that she stayed in the car, and she didn't even notice that Hu Ren lifted the curtain and called out to her companions.
After hearing the shout, several other Hu cavalry also urged their horses to rush to the carriage where Nian Su was riding.
