【Chapter 373】 Affection is deep and righteous
The power of the pillow wind should not be underestimated.
After Li Li left the county guard mansion yesterday in a bad mood, he didn't come back overnight, so anxious that Li Xian searched the entire backyard, and sent people to look around the city, but there was no trace of his eldest brother Li Li.
After nightfall, it was still Dian Wufang who dissuaded Li Xian from looking for it again. Because Hu Che'er, the deputy commander who replaced Li Zhi to protect Li Li, and a hundred personal soldiers are gone, which shows that Li Li's own safety is safe.
zuihou, Dian Wuflawless said to Li Xian with a smile: "Brother Siam, don't forget, Guzang City is your eldest brother's lair, and he knows everything about every grass and tree within a radius of dozens of miles from the county guard's mansion. Maybe, your eldest brother is hiding in the golden house outside, and tonight he will go out to have a private meeting with his confidant! Hehehe———"
When Li Xian heard this, he smirked innocently, thinking that his sister-in-law was comforting him. However, after Dian Wuflawless said this, he was relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about his brother's safety.
The next morning, after Li Li took Hu Che'er and others back to his home, he immediately took Li Xian, took a few jars of fine wine, and went straight to Wuhou Village at the junction of Wuwei County and Jincheng.
Fan Chou was a native of Jincheng before his death, but after he died in the southern suburbs, because Jincheng had not yet been under the rule of Li Li, Fan Yong transported his body to the territory of Wuwei first, and then entered Wuhou Village under the jurisdiction of Jincheng through Heilongling.
Wuhou Village, also called Wuhou Pavilion, has an extremely loud name.
In fact, there are many villages and towns called "Wuhou Pavilion" in Dahan nowadays, and their names are loud and confident, which makes the villagers feel very face-saving.
However, Wuhou Village, where Fan Chou is located, has a origin. Because the Fan family claimed to be the descendant of Fan Xu, the founding general of the Han Dynasty, and Fan Xu's nickname after his death was Wuhou, so Wuhou Village was named after this. However, I am afraid that the name of this village will be changed after that, after all, Fan Chou's death is not honorable, and the villagers are not implicated in order not to be implicated. Naturally, it is necessary to change the name, not to mention that it is easy to change the name of the village if there is turmoil today.
"Da Da Da!"
On the post road to Heilongling, the horses galloped, the horses' hooves were flying, and the dust was flying.
"Brother, where are we going? Yesterday, my brother ordered all the generals of the Western Expedition to go to the county guard mansion today to discuss matters, and now that we have left the city, what should we do about military and political affairs? While riding his horse and whipping, Li Xian turned his head and asked Li Li loudly.
"Hehehe!" Li Li daxiao said: "There is no hurry. I've just sent an order down. The deliberations of the county government were postponed for two days, and the generals of each battalion were allowed to stay in the wings of the county government for the time being, rest for a few days, and then discuss the matter after we returned! As for where we're going, aren't you familiar with the road? ”
"Ahh Li Xian was slightly stunned when he heard this. Then he said happily: "Could it be that my brother is going to visit my second brother?" Great, my little brother has been looking forward to this day for a long time! hahaha———"
Li Li turned his head to look at his younger brother Li Xian with a smile on his face. smiled: "Yesterday you personally begged each other." How can you not give you face as a brother! What's more, my second brother and I are righteous brothers after all, no matter whether he is still complaining about me or not, as the eldest brother, I should go to Uncle Fan's grave to pay respects, and visit the second brother by the way. ”
Li Xian smiled when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "I haven't seen you all night." How could a brother change so quickly? Could it be that as the fourth sister-in-law said, my brother went out for a private meeting last night, and he will be in a good mood today? ”
"Ahh Li Li was shocked when he heard this, and asked urgently, "What did you say?" Flawless knows where I went last night? How did she know, who had revealed my whereabouts to her? ”
"Ugh!" Li Xian turned his head to look at Li Li in astonishment, and said with a stunned expression: "My sister-in-law laughed at my little brother last night, and said this casually, so I don't have to send someone out to find you." Brother, did my sister-in-law guess correctly, you are really in the golden house outside the house、、、 uh, the golden house is hidden Jiao? ”
"Jinwu Zangjiao, you guys really know how to poke words out!" Li Li's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said in a disguised manner.
Immediately, he noticed that his younger brother Li Xian was riding on a horse and turned his head to look at him from time to time, with a narrow smile on his face. Suddenly, Li Li knew that he was concerned about it just now, and said that he had leaked his mouth, and rode close to Li Xian, and whispered to him: "Don't make a noise about this matter for the time being, your sisters-in-law are pregnant, you can't be angry, in case they are angry, I will pull your skin!" Remember? ”
"Hey, hey, hey!" Li Xianhan said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, you don't let the younger brother say it, and the younger brother promises not to tell anyone." But 、、、 hey, hey, hey! The younger brother is just a little curious, this is the first sister-in-law, the seventh or the eighth? ”
"Smack!" Hearing this, Li Li stretched out his hand and patted Li Xian's shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "Your kid's courage is getting bigger and bigger, you dare to make fun of your eldest brother, I think you owe a beating!" I married a concubine in Chang'ana before, it was your seventh sister-in-law, named Tang Ji, virtuous and generous, you should not be rude when you see her in the future. Now this name is He Ying, who is the distant cousin of your fifth sister-in-law Ren Hongchang, who is actually as old as your fifth sister-in-law, and looks very similar to Hongchang, it is difficult for people who are not familiar with them to identify their sisters, and it is easy to identify the wrong person.
He Ying is quiet by nature, does not like to be noisy, is excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her female red skills are extremely outstanding. When I came back this morning, she asked me to bring back a few brocade robes for you and my second brother, and then you came to pick them up yourself and try to see if they fit. In addition, Xin'er and they have a share of you every time they make clothes, but the distance is far away and they don't bring it to you in time. In a few days, before you go to Northland County to take office, you will go to Yiwu first, and bring all the clothes that your sister-in-law made for you, so that you will not be able to wear them for a few years! ”
After Li Xian heard this, his eyes couldn't help but turn a little red, and he said gratefully: "How can I dare to bother a few sisters-in-law to make clothes for me, I 、、、、、、"
Halfway through his words, Li Xian turned his head away, choked up and couldn't speak.
Seeing that his younger brother Li Xian was moved to tears, Li Li rode the horse side with him, gently patted his younger brother's shoulder, and said in a harmonious voice: "Our brothers have died since they were children, and I will give up, I was ten years old when my mother died, but you were still young at the time, and you often wore my old clothes. Now that my brother has married a family, I should take care of you, and every time your sisters-in-law make me a dress, they will make one for you. Since ancient times, it has been said that the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Your sister-in-law should also make clothes for you, we are brothers, so we don't have to worry about this. ”
Li Xian wiped away his tears when he heard this, nodded and said: "Brother, several sisters-in-law are the most beautiful women in the world, and the younger brother respects them." I really see them as brothers and sisters-in-law and mothers. There are some things that the younger brother knows not to say, but he still has to say them. What happened to my brother last night was extremely inappropriate, and I should tell my fourth sister-in-law before I go out, so that she won't worry about you. When the younger brother sent people around to look for you last night, it was already late at night, but the fourth sister-in-law had not rested and was waiting for you. This is only in Guzang City, if it is in Chang'an, I am afraid that a few sisters-in-law will wait for you to come back. Also, several sisters-in-law are people who are knowledgeable and sensible. If the elder brother has a crush on anyone, he can completely say it, and with the younger brother's guess, the sisters-in-law will definitely agree, and they are not jealous people. ”
"Ugh. This 、、、、、、" Li Li never expected that his younger brother Li Xian, who had a rough appearance, would be so careful. It's very accurate to see people. really treats Li Xin and others as relatives. It's just his younger brother's words of advice, but Li Li is quite relieved and a little embarrassed. Immediately, he patted Li Xian's shoulder, nodded and said, "Okay, this is my Li Li's younger brother!" Last night's incident was not considered for my brother, and then I will give you the fourth sister-in-law. It won't make her angry. But what I just said to you, you also have to remember, don't say it for the time being. Again, your sisters-in-law are now pregnant. Can't be angry. ”
"Don't worry, brother, the younger brother knows the measure." Li Xian saw that his brother had admitted his mistake for the first time, and immediately broke his tears and nodded in response.
———————————————
Between the green mountains and green waters, the stream under the mountain is clear and gurgling; The mountains are undulating, and the ancient trees are towering and leafy.
The East Mountain Col, at a glance, is lush.
On the southeast ridge of the mountain pass, there is a newly buried tomb.
The tombstone is towering, surrounded by pines and cypresses, and lined with green trees, which is quite imposing.
On the beach on the lower left side of the tomb, there is a grass hut, built next to the stream, by the mountains and rivers, you can raise your eyes to look up at the forest and sea, and listen to the murmuring stream.
At the end is a quiet and quiet retreat.
"Brother, our Xiliang is a bitter cold land, not as humid and warm as the south in all seasons, can this grass house live in people?" Li Xian rushed in front of Li Li to push open the fence gate of the grass hut that was concealed, and said with a worried face.
Then he turned his head to look at Shanliang and said urgently: "Eh, brother, look, the second brother is still sitting in front of Uncle Fan's tombstone drinking and being stunned!" ”
"Let's go, take out the sacrifices we brought, and the two of us brothers will go up to worship Uncle Fan." In fact, there was no need for Li Xian to remind him at all, as soon as Li Li walked into the mountain col, he saw a person sitting in front of Fan Chou's grave drinking with a wine gourd, obviously that person was Fan Yong.
Walking lightly to the tomb, Li Li waved his hand to signal Li Xian not to speak, and waved his hand to let the soldiers place the sacrifice in front of the tombstone.
"Big 、、、 brother!" Fan Yong, who was already half drunk sitting next to the tombstone, finally noticed that someone was approaching the tombstone, so he turned around abruptly and brushed away the unkempt hair that covered his eyes, but saw Li Li standing in front of the tombstone with a solemn face burning incense and worshipping.
"Bang!" But after seeing Li Li insert the incense candle with his own hands, he bowed down three times, then knelt on the ground, and bowed three times and bowed nine times.
After worshipping, Li Li frowned slightly at the inscription on the tombstone, turned his head to look at Fan Yong, who was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with a disheveled hair, and a pickled hair, and said in a deep voice: "As early as two months ago, I had been on the top of the bixia, and I added Uncle Fan as the right general and the marquis of Wan Nian, don't you know the second brother?" What's more, there is only the name of filial piety on the inscription, why is it not engraved with the names of my brother and Siamese? In the past, when we waited for the three brothers to become righteous, we swore to heaven that righteousness is the same as life and death, Uncle Fan is not only your father-in-law, but also my brother-in-law and my brother Siamese! ”
"Big brother, I'm 、、、、、、" Seeing Li Li's frosty expression, Fan Yong suddenly woke up, lowered his head with a ashamed face, and couldn't speak.
Li Li waved his hand and said, "No need to explain, I know what you are thinking." Uncle Fan's death is my share of the guilt, if there was no battle in the southern suburbs, he would not have died at all. I brought with me the master who carved the inscription and asked him to re-engrave the name; In addition, add the names of me and my brother Siamese on both sides of your name, I am on the left, Brother Siam is on the right, and you are a filial son and should be in the center. Only in this way can Uncle Fan know and be blind. From now on, as long as I, Li Li, am alive for a day, no one dares to move Uncle Fan's grave, and I can sleep here, sit and watch the vicissitudes of the world, and coexist with this green mountain and clear water! ”
"Thank my brother for my brother's kindness on behalf of my deceased father, everything is according to my brother's orders, and my brother will obey everything!" Fan Yong burst into tears and knelt down to worship.
Li Li stepped forward quickly, helped Fan Yong with both hands, and said emotionally: "People can't be resurrected after death. Uncle Fan treated me very well during his lifetime and helped us many times, and I have always kept this kindness in my heart. The battle in the southern suburbs, let's not talk about it for the time being, and there will be a public opinion in the future. Uncle Fan is loyal to the Han family, fighting on the battlefield in blood, shrouding the body in horse leather, seeking benevolence and benevolence, he is really a hero!
No matter what Uncle Fan thought of me Li Li during his lifetime, I always think that he is a respectable elder, and I regard him as a father like my second brother. Now that the deceased has passed away, the second brother must not give up on himself, Uncle Fan knows everything, and he doesn't want to see you so decadent. Today, our three brothers have a hearty drink, and after the craftsman has carved the inscription, you and my brother will come to worship again, and then return to Guzang City with me. I don't know what the second brother thinks? ”
"This 、、、、、、" Fan Yong was slightly stunned when he heard this, looking at Fan Chou's grave, his expression was a little hesitant, and he didn't know what to do.
Seeing Fan Yong's hesitant look, Li Li knew that he wanted to keep the filial piety period, and immediately said in a harmonious voice: "The second brother has been keeping the spirit here for three months, and Uncle Fan Yingling is not far away, and he is also gratified. However, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and now my Xiliang army is marching westward, which is the time to employ people, how can the second brother stand by and sit here? What's more, my and my brother Siam's names are all on the inscription, who in the world dares to disturb Uncle Fan's rest, and who dares to tamper with the grave? ”
"Uh, take orders for my brother, and let my brother send you!" After thinking for a while, Fan Yong replied respectfully.
"Okay, let's go to the grass house to drink, and we will rest when we get drunk today!" Li Li smiled and pulled Fan Yong down the mountain, Li Xian followed behind with a smile, and walked straight to the grass house with brisk steps.
The next day, Li Li, Fan Yong and Li Xian came to Fan Chou's tombstone again and burned incense to worship. But I saw that the tombstone was impressively engraved with "The Tomb of General Han Right and Marquis Fan Gongchou", and a few lines of small characters were engraved in the lower right corner, as if it was the name of their three brothers. Since then, only by virtue of the word Li Li in the lower right corner of the inscription, this tomb is no less than the mausoleum of the three princes, there are servants who are responsible for taking care of it all the year round, and every solar term, the officials of the surrounding counties and counties and the officials of the township pavilion will come to burn incense and pay tribute.
When leaving Dongshan Pass, Fan Yong led the war horse and turned back step by step, looking at the tombstone on the mountain beam, very reluctant. After a long time, he was ruthless, turned over his horse, rode his horse with Li Li and Li Xian, and went straight to Guzang City.
