Chapter 39: Marriage
When the summer harvest is approaching, Shu will not be too hot, if it is a peaceful era, this is one of the most livable areas in the world, and Jinguancheng is still the core of Shu at this time, it is more prosperous, half a year ago the Wei people raged, and the scars seemed to have been smoothed out early.
Even if Yang Yi insisted on ascending the throne in Mianzhu City, and did not even go to Jinguan City once, Deng Ai was ruthless enough at the beginning, and directly kidnapped the Shu Han palace and the current dynasty Zhuqing, which also caused even if everyone knew Yang Yi's identity, at this time, for the sake of Ji Han's great cause, Yang Yi had to sit on this throne.
It is really all over the children of the Liu family, and no one can take on this precarious big man.
Now, seeing that Ji Han can still maintain it, there is no longer any worries about it.
There are still many scholars in the city who are still content with the status quo, they all have clansmen who serve in various aspects, and the family business will not decline, as long as they are not like the "leaders" like Qian Zhou, they will not worry too much about state affairs, and they will still have more pleasures.
Large families often take planting flowers as elegant, so when they come to Jinguan City at this time, they only pass by the most prosperous streets, that is purple and red, at a glance, you can shake the eyes of people, the fragrance is prosperous, and it is refreshing.
Someone said: "Jinguancheng is a mansion, everyone loves flowers, thinks it is elegant, the sergeant cherishes it, the corporal admires it, and the pawn is profitable." ”
At this time, because of the drunken gold fans in the city, there are countless celebrities and visitors here.
In the city, there is an endless stream of cars, horses and pedestrians, and it is prosperous.
Not to mention, there are many young men and women in those beautiful lakesides.
At this time, the folk customs were far less conservative than thousands of years later, at least young women could show their heads.
Teenagers from large families, and even fewer people who don't know the style, can be seen on all major painting boats.
At this time, the north is respected, and the people who live in the north of Jinguan City at this time are also many sergeants, not ordinary men and women.
Even among the women who take a boat in the river, there are many daughters and official ladies, and they are literary and elegant, and the lowly Qinglou girls often dare not come here.
Looking for flowers and asking willows, going to the south city, talking about poetry and songs, asking for the words of the talented and beautiful woman, come to the north city more.
This is a resonance spread by the Jinguan City Mansion among the children of large families.
The rain is not heavy, only dripping down, but all celebrities and demented women like this kind of drizzle.
Whether it is pretending to be elegant or really liking, this breeze, drizzle, bright lake, beauty, and young man in gorgeous costumes are destined to be a realm pursued by young men and women.
"The drizzle is moist, the small lake is swaying, the wind is cool and the water is clear...... It's a good time to go out and play, but unfortunately, it's really nerve-wracking at this time. ”
Although Jinguancheng has a dense river network, it is actually an artificially excavated river, which is diverted from Dujiangyan in the west, and the lakes in the city are naturally artificially excavated.
A small lakeside, there is a high-rise building, the building is three floors high, in this place, it is rare, and this building, is just an extension of a large house, this house covers a wide area, in the north city of Jinguan City, which is really a symbol of identity and financial resources.
Standing on the highest floor of this high-rise building, looking into the distance, you can see the panoramic view of the north city, and standing on the second floor looking at the lake in front of you, the beauty of heaven and earth is in full view.
At this time, there is a jade table placed by the window on the second floor, with a few side dishes and a glass of wine, and the two of them sit opposite each other, chatting about the scenery.
This window on the second floor is huge, and when viewed from the inside out, the scenery is bright, and it is a rare place to view.
The three people who were chatting looked to be no more than in their early thirties, but because of the sergeant's good maintenance skills, their actual age may be older.
It may really be at this age, Deng Ai kidnapped Ji Han Shangqing away, and the heads of these families naturally changed, but almost all families changed heads at the age of thirty, unless the previous generation held on to it or the descendants were not filial.
However, these scholars have qualified cultivation skills, and generally such things will not occur, otherwise the family will not be able to pass on for several generations.
One person has a white face and a long beard, one person has a yellow face and a short beard, and the other person is rough, all of them are dressed up at will, but any piece of clothing on their bodies is a good Shu brocade, which is enough for ordinary people to chew for a year.
It was the white-faced and long-bearded man who spoke, and although it was a sigh, there was not much worry in his tone.
"Our brothers' ancestors have passed on their deeds to this day, and we have to pass them on as well, but it's a pity for my niece."
After the three of them were all meritorious servants of the Shu Han Dynasty, and now they have suffered this catastrophe, and all the families of Ji Han have suffered great losses, but the biggest one is the Zhuge family, Zhuge Zhan's father and son were all killed in battle, and they can be regarded as full of loyalty, and the rest of the families are also reckless, they are all loyal and martyrs.
"Brother Zhang, what you said is not right." The yellow-faced man on the opposite side chuckled and said: "The children of my Zhao family are all full of poetry and books, and their knowledge is extraordinary, and Ying'er can understand the general situation, how can they be compared to those demented women?" ”
The demented literary woman, who mostly refers to the envy of the talented and beautiful woman, and the daughter of the big family who met before the moon before the flower, said it from his mouth, and there was more contempt.
"Well, having said that, the more I am like this, the more ashamed I am for my niece." The white-faced man with a long beard sighed.
The three of them are also close friends, allies of interests, and they all understand his heart.
In a family like theirs, the descendants of each family are all related to the interests of the family, and it is difficult to have freedom in this marriage.
If the concubine in the family is really talented, they don't have to marry, or if this girl is an ordinary woman, they will never feel so guilty.
But this daughter of the Zhao family, since she was a child, has known the general situation, has extraordinary knowledge and is extremely filial, and the family marriage has long been known, and she does not object, although she has that extremely beautiful appearance and moving talent, but she acts in a low-key manner, in order to avoid causing trouble, so as not to disrupt the family marriage plan.
There is a woman like this, which really makes the two brothers proud and sigh.
They are the three brothers, just like the three righteous ancestors of Liezu and Shouting Hou and Xixiang Hou Taoyuan, they are the children of Guan, Zhang, and Zhao.
The white-faced and beardless Zhang Zun, the grandson of the chariot general Zhang Fei, the son of Zhang Bao in the service, and the nephew of Zhang Shao, but now that the Zhang family is now, the family advocates that Shao was taken away by Deng Ai, and Zhang Zun can only take over again.
Originally, he would have died in Mianzhu City, but he was lucky not to die at that time, knowing his identity, Deng Ai also ordered someone to help, and then forced to surrender to Jinguan City, released to Zhang's family, and then when Deng Ai ran away, he forgot about him, Zhang Zun's face was not very white, but the serious injury had not healed, and he was still recuperating at this time.
The yellow-faced one is Zhao Wei, the grandson of Zhao Yun, the son of Zhao Tong, and now his uncle Zhao Guang has died in battle, and his father has also died in battle, and he has to be the face of the Zhao family.
The rough man is Guan Yue, the grandson of Guan Yu, the son of Guan Ping, and the head of the Guan family's current family.
They are all famous figures in Jinguanchengfu, although the official position of the Zhao family is not high, unlike the Guan and Zhang families, the three dukes from generation to generation, but the Zhao family also has connections whether it is in the court or in the field.
It's a pity that now all families are withering, and they all have some decay, which is also the national situation, if Ji Han recovers, each family will naturally rise, but I don't know how many generations to sacrifice.
Now there are only a few descendants of the Guan, Zhang, and Zhao families, although they will not break the inheritance of incense, or they are not weaker than other local clans, but compared with the past, they have indeed gone downhill.
In terms of courage, these people are also good, after all, in terms of luck and talent, compared to the ancestors, they can only be regarded as ordinary.
Just like the Zhao family, the next generation in the clan is the best, but it is a daughter, and Zhao Wei, as a parent, is often worried about this.
After all, although the family is large, there are also many hostile forces at the same time, and if there is a day when the family is defeated, it is inevitable that people will not take advantage of it.
This is like sailing on the sea, not thinking about moving forward, although it seems to be stable, but there will be a moment when the top is overturned.
Guan Zhang and the two also understand this.
"Alas, as the children of everyone, you need to take responsibility, and it is indeed a hardship for the children, but so far, the Han Gong has so far, and it can only be like this." Zhao Wei smiled bitterly at this time and said.
Several people lost the interest in chatting for a while, bowed their heads and drank sullen wine, because the window was open, and the sound of music outside faintly came.
Zhang Zun turned his face to look out at this time, and after a while, he sighed and said: "It's a pity that there is no one worthy of a niece in this Jinguan City." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Wei also looked at the lake, only to see the large and small boats on the lake, leisurely and swinging, on the boat, or a young man in Lihua, or a handsome man, all of them are a talent, but these can only fool some ordinary people, but in the eyes of the people of the big family, it is just a gorgeous appearance.
The big family attaches great importance to profits, and this profit, how can it be desirable to look good?
Now that the Han Dynasty has declined to the present, on the surface of this Jinguan City, it is still a group of harmonious spirits, singing and dancing everywhere, but in fact, it is still full of dangers, just a few months ago, it was ravaged by the Wei people.
Even the new emperor of Mianzhu is walking on thin ice, of course, if this momentum continues now, looking at the scene, there may really be hope for the resurgence of the Han Dynasty.
For example, today, the three kingdoms are juxtaposed, and at this time, the warrior is more refined than the scribe, and when the sword is on the neck, if he can't chant a few poems to make the enemy abandon his armor and retreat, then the ordinary scribe is of little use.
snorted coldly, Zhao Wei really didn't look down on these juniors, and he thought deeply of the words of the two brothers, Wendao had already been established, but it had been half a year, and these young people didn't have much to get started.
It can be seen that most of the previous literary names were fake.
In front of the three of them was a letter, a joint letter from Jiang Wei, the governor of Bazhou, and Huo Yi, the governor of Nanzhong, a letter asking for relatives, saying that the daughter of the Zhao family was the next thing, and these two signed it jointly, and the matter was basically decided.
But now the situation is undecided, what is the Han lord, Zhao Wei is a little uncertain, he only has this concubine in his family, if he is really the queen of the Han, he will inevitably be tied to the warship, and he will never be able to get off again.
In today's troubled times, it is about the survival of a family, and he must think about it.
After a while, Zhao Wei said: "It's okay to do this, but you have to think carefully before making plans." ”
"Actually, Brother Zhao, this matter is just a guess for you and me, whether the Han Lord means this or not, not necessarily, but we have made some arrangements earlier, just so as not to panic." Seeing Zhao Wei's solemn face, the two brothers were busy persuading at this time.
"Hehe, what you say is extreme, come, drink." Suppressing the worry in his heart for the time being, Zhao Wei smiled and raised his glass as he spoke.
"Yes, drink." Both brothers raised their glasses and drank them all.
It's just that although they say so, everyone also understands that now Ji Han, the lord of Han is the lord of the country, and he naturally commands the world, but Ji Han has been a hundred years old, and everyone has their own interests, and Jiang Wei and Huo Yi are respectively two governors, each supervising several counties, and the military and political affairs are decided in a word, and they are powerful ministers under Ji Han alone.
These people in their Jinguancheng, to be honest, have been abandoned, the Han lord has never come to Jinguancheng to serve the country, and now all families have compromised, and Jinguancheng is to accompany the capital, and the decree has also come out from Mianzhu, which gradually, Jinguancheng will also fall.
After a few more words, when he got out of the building, Zhang Zun rode on his horse, first returned home, and then changed to a carriage at home.
The carriage he was riding in at this time was just ordinary, so it was not noticeable when he was traveling on Nancheng Road.
In front of an ordinary alley, the carriage stopped.
Zhang Zunbu got out of the carriage and entered a house under the escort of one person.
Although the outside of the house is ordinary, the interior of this house is very elegantly furnished.
Under a few flower trees, there was a person standing early, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the person turned around and hugged his fist at Zhang Zun with a smile.
Then, he asked, "Brother Zhang, can things take a turn for the better?" ”
The person who asked the question was Huo Yi's brother and the contact person for this incident, Huo Guang.
Zhang Zun smiled at this time and said, "Brother Huo, let's go into the house and talk!" ”
"Okay." Huo Guang nodded and entered the house.
Entering the house, the guests and hosts sat down, and without waiting to ask any more questions, they briefly talked about the situation with the brothers.
Huo Guang immediately got up, made a big salute, and said solemnly: "Thank you Brother Zhang for this." ”
"Brother Huo is serious." Zhang Zun helped him up and said bluntly: "Don't say it, you and I have a relationship, besides, this marriage is also harmless to my brother." ”
After thinking about it, he said: "It's just that if my brother doesn't like it in the end, I'm afraid, and there is nothing I can do about it." ”
The Zhao family is also a big official family, such a big family, which can be oppressed by extraordinary means, is the lord of the country, if he abides by the rules, many times he is helpless.
If the daughter of the Zhao family is really unwilling, then the two metropolitan governors will come, and it will be useless, so they can't be persecuted, the Zhao family is not high, and they are not even in Jiuqing.
Although Zhang Zun felt that this marriage was acceptable, if it weren't for that, as a brother, he would never be able to speak to outsiders.
Huo Guang understands it, but he is also very grateful, before he came, his brother had explained that if His Majesty trusts him, he has to share his worries for His Majesty, His Majesty doesn't know, but he has to consider it as a minister.
For the sake of the big man, Huo Yi and Jiang Wei really took great pains, Jiang Wei didn't pay much attention to this matter, his political consciousness was not high, but Huo Yi knew that this thing had to be done.
Huo Guang, as a member of the Huo family, naturally hopes that the family will continue to prosper, and knows that this matter is very important, so this trip can be regarded as a dedication.
It's just that what is going on now, Huo Guang doesn't have a score in his heart, and after Zhang Zun left, he sat alone and sighed slightly.
