Chapter 25 Entrusting Zhen
The current head of the Zhen family is named Zhen Yan, the second son of the late Shangcai Ling Zhen Yi and the second brother of Zhen Jiang. The eldest son of the pen and the fun www.biquge.info, Zhen Yu, was frail and sickly, and died early before he was ten years old.
Although Zhen Yan is young, but his own qualifications are very sufficient, in the early years by the county raised 'filial piety', and later on the eve of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was the general He Jin Zheng as the general Peng, that is, He Jin shogunate's adjutant, until his father Zhen Yi died last year, resigned and went home to keep filial piety.
The courtyard of the Zhen family's mansion is huge, and Zhen Jiang's crisp voice clearly describes the current situation at home, they have already walked through the chicken and the stable, and they have walked a full mile during the round-trip family salute, and then they have reached the main hall.
After all, Yanbei had saved Zhen Jiang, she didn't want Yanbei to feel that she had neglected him, and she had to explain to him clearly that Ah Weng was no longer in the world.
Yan Bei just lowered his face and saluted Zhen Jiang and asked her to mourn. Compared with the parting of life and death in the Zhen family's mansion, what made Yan Bei more concerned was the reason why Zhen Jiang had punished the servant before, which made him wake up...... What is Taxi? Even if you punish a servant, you have to tell him neither humbly nor arrogantly, that this is not to please him, but not to ruin your reputation by being a servant.
Zhen Jiang nodded calmly, and said with some sadness in his eyebrows: "This year is more difficult than before, the aftermath of the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not subsided, and Zhang Taishou has raised troops against the Han again, I am afraid that this bad year will be over...... Don't blame Yan Junhou, Jiang is not talking about you. ”
Realizing that Yan Bei was a military marquis under Zhang Chun, Zhen Jiang hurriedly and carefully pressed against Sakura's lips, and then glanced at Yan Bei cautiously.
Yan Bei had a somewhat stiff smile on his face, and immediately waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay...... I don't understand why Zhang Taishou rebelled, but he was in his position and had no other way. ”
In fact, Yan Bei was not comfortable in his heart, because he was not only a military marquis under Zhang Chun's command, but also a participant in the Yellow Turban Rebellion...... It can be said that the chaos in Jizhou in the past five years has his part.
Sometimes people do bad things, even though they know in their hearts that it is a bad thing, but they also do bad things just by thinking that they have done bad things, and Lao Tzu himself is responsible for himself, how about it?
But many things are called bad because they hurt others...... I don't know how I'm going to hurt others.
When he participated in the Yellow Turban, Yanbei was too young, and he didn't know what the consequences of his actions would be, but later, after he became reasonable, he finally knew what the Yellow Turban Rebellion meant to those hard-working people.
More than 200,000 people in Jizhou participated in the Yellow Turbans, most of them young adults, and few of them were able to return to their hometowns after the war ended. The farmland in the counties and townships of Jizhou was not young and strong to work and cultivate, and there was a great famine in the second year of Zhongping.
If it weren't for the fact that Huangfu Song, who was in Jizhou at the time, was exempted from paying taxes for a year, I am afraid that there would be even greater disasters waiting for the people.
Zhen Jiang didn't know what Yan Bei was thinking, he secretly glanced at Yan Bei and didn't seem to be angry, he suddenly had a lot of good feelings for him in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Yan Junhou, you are very interesting, when I first saw you that day, I thought I was a rough martial artist, but I didn't expect to be dressed like this today." ”
Yan Bei smiled lightly, thinking that this Zhen little lady was not only vigorous and resolute, but also had a lively personality, and then he said seriously: "Miss Hui, she is indeed a vulgar martial artist, and today's dress is just because she doesn't dare to be rude when she comes to your mansion." ”
He's not here to fight, what's the matter with wearing iron armor?
Zhen Jiang nodded, and then led to him: "Please come in, my brother is inside." ”
After that, Zhen Jiang and Yan Bei stepped into the threshold side by side, and said to the head: "Brother, I'm back!" ”
As soon as Yan Bei entered the room and looked up, he glared at him, good guy, a big room of people...... Could it be that Zhen's whole family is inside?
There were men and women, old and young, and a room full of people kneeling in a row, and a young man on the opposite side led an old man.
"Mr. Liu, this is the little sister, please take a look at her." Yan Bei could guess that the young man with a delicate face who was five or six years older than him was Zhen Jiang's brother and the current head of the Zhen family, Zhen Yan, but the little sister in his mouth was not Zhen Jiang, but the girl who was holding a porcelain doll in the woman next to him, who looked like she was only three or four years old. Zhen Yan said that, when he saw Zhen Jiang walking in quickly, he couldn't help but reprimand softly: "Ah Miao, where have you been?" When Mr. Liu arrived today, didn't he tell you not to run around? ”
Seeing that Yanbei was an outsider, Zhen Yan arched his hand and said, "Please sit down." ”
After that, Zhen Yan pulled Zhen Jiang and introduced Liu Liang and said: "Mr. Ling smiled, this is the female brother Zhen Jiang, whose young name is A Miao, who has not loved female red since he was a child, likes to shoot with bows and horses like a man, and after the death of Jia Yan, he had a headache, and I would like you to look at her later...... Little sister's face, how's that? ”
Liu Liang looked at the girl with pigtails in the woman's arms for a while, his face was shocked, and he turned to Zhen Yan and said, "Congratulations to Zhen Gongzi, Sister Ling will be in the future...... It's incredibly expensive! ”
There are not a few people who are not superstitious in this era, which is also the soil of Zhang Jiao's pretense of the Yellow Sky Uprising, and there are few people who are not superstitious except for Cao Cao, the former minister of Jinan. Even a son like Cao Cao, who was born in a powerful family, was transferred out after breaking the superstition of Jinan State, and now he is disheartened and has built a grass shed on the mountain of his hometown in Qiaoxian County, shooting and hunting in winter and summer.
And what about others?
When Zhen Yan heard this, he was immediately happy, pushed Zhen Jiang to the front and said, "This is very good, very good, please take a look at Ah Miao again." ”
However, when Liu Liang looked at Zhen Jiang's face, he was stunned for a long time, and Zhen Jiang was a little embarrassed by Shuo Shuo's eyes, and his cheeks flew red, and then he turned his head and said to Zhen Yan: "Sister Ling's face is commendable, but ...... There is still a need for nobles, and it is a woman who relies on her husband. ”
"Is a woman more expensive than a husband? Could it be that the little sister is unspeakably expensive, isn't it a woman who is expensive by her husband? ”
Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, what woman can be expensive in this year?
"No, no, Mi'er's face is rich and noble, and she is even more prosperous...... And the face of the sister-in-law depends more on the husband's family, or rather. Liu Liang paused for a moment and said to Zhen Yan: "Her husband's family will have a much bigger family business than Zhen's in the future!" ”
Zhen Yan narrowed her eyes, then nodded and smiled: "Thank you Mr. Liu for your hard work today, come here, and send Mr. to the side room to rest!" ”
Yan Bei knelt on the side and watched the Xiangshi face each other for the children of the Zhen family, where had he seen such a scene among the wild people in the border state, so he naturally stared at it carefully and didn't even dare to take a breath...... It's strange to say that he doesn't believe in the existence of Huang Tian, but he can't believe in other superstitions.
It's as if he believes in heaven and that there is heaven.
The reason why they don't believe in Zhang Jiao is only because they have lost...... Most of the Yellow Turban Yu Party have similar thoughts to him, if there is really a Yellow Sky, how can they still fail if they are so pious?
Fuck, apparently the sky isn't dead yet!
Seeing that Liu Liang, a scholar, was about to say goodbye, Yan Bei also hurriedly got up and did the etiquette of a guest and bowed his hand to Liu Liang.
Liu Liang smiled and bowed his hand to Yanbei, raised his head with a smile but froze in surprise, turned his head and glanced at Zhen Jiang vigilantly, and then asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, who is your surname?" ”
"Huh?" Yanbei arched his hand and smiled: "In Xiayanbei, the common people of Liaodong." ”
"No, no, no, but I don't want to be in front of Hou Yanbei of the Zhongshan Army, the old man is Wuji and Liu Liang, and he is polite." Liu Liang stroked his beard and smiled, and then whispered: "Your Excellency has a face that either died unexpectedly or became rich and noble. ”
"Oh? Have you heard of Yan's name too? This made Yan Bei a little flattered, but he didn't expect that the Xiangshi of Wuji City had actually heard of him, but the smile was fleeting on his face, and Yan Bei frowned slightly and asked, "Sir, this died unexpectedly...... How so? ”
Hearing the two of them talking, Zhen Yan also took two steps to this side, listened quietly, and glared at Zhen Jiang fiercely with his eyes...... This Ah Miao is also really, why did he bring a rebel leader to his home like this, and he didn't say hello to him beforehand.
At this time, people are respectful and polite everywhere at home, is there still a reason to drive people out?
Zhen Yan is unwilling to have the slightest intersection with the rebels led by Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Liang arched his hand and said: "The military marquis will have a catastrophe in the year after tomorrow, if he can't get by, hey, he will naturally die." But if you carry it...... In the future, the earth dragon will turn over and soar! ”
Yanbei's mind turned, and he was still stunned in place, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the old man had already gone away with Zhen's servants, and he wanted to catch up and ask for clarification, but when he saw Zhen Yan close in front of him, he hurriedly bowed and said: "In Xia Yanbei, I have seen Zhen Gongzi." ”
"Please take a seat." Although Zhen Yan didn't like Yanbei's rebel identity in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, turned his hand and led him to sit down, and then sat on the top seat and asked his wife to send the sisters back to the family, and asked Yanbei: "Your Excellency came today, may I ask what Zhang Taishou wants to show?" ”
"No, no, no, you're too worried, in the next day, you took the liberty to visit, it was for private matters to ask Zhen." When Yan Bei said this, he saw Zhen Jiang running from the side hall and whispering a few words in Zhen Yan's ear, and then smiled lightly at Yan Bei before leaving.
"Oh? If it's a private matter, please say it's okay. Zhen Yan listened to Zhen Jiang's words, and only then did his face look half affectionate, raised his eyebrows and said: "Little sister Fang Cai said, some time ago, my Zhen family was harassed by the Wuhuan people when I passed through Lu Nu on the way to Changshan, and it was for Your Excellency to save you, Zhen has thanked Your Excellency here, as long as Zhen can do your request, I will definitely help you." ”
"Hey, thank you Zhen Gongzi, this is really good!" Yan Bei clasped his fists and said: "Yan has only one request, Yan has a third brother in the family, some time ago Yan offended Pan Xing, the governor of Zhongshan, I am afraid that after a while, Wuhuan will go south and clash with Pan Xing...... Therefore, I hope that Your Excellency will take care of your brother temporarily, he has read books, he can count, even if he is a bookkeeper, he just asks Zhen Gongzi to agree. Yan knows that his identity is low, but he is afraid that there is nothing that can help the son, if you can agree, Yan will not be able to repay him, even if Zhen provokes the emperor, Yan will also draw a knife for Zhen! ”
"Well, no need to say it!" Zhen Yan saw that Yanbei was very sincere, originally with a smile on his face, but when he heard this, he heard that this Liaodong reckless man was about to draw a sword towards the emperor and hurriedly raised his hand to stop his words, and said to Yanbei: "Yan Junhou doesn't have to be like this, just arrange someone in the mansion, and promise it in the next place!" ”
