Chapter 581: On the way
If it weren't for the sake of cultivating Wu Meiniang for a good student, let her have a long experience, even she wouldn't bring it, in addition, that is, three or two guards, riding all the way to the boundary of Jingxian County, let the guards camp here in concealment, and wait at any time.
Anyway, if something really happens, it's useless to have more than three or two guards, and it's convenient to escape with fewer people. As for changing to walk, it is also a full set of dramas, so as not to be eye-catching.
Zhou Shaoyu was wearing a patched coarse linen dress, to be honest, it wasn't very comfortable, and everyone had to panic, but if he was really dressed like a son, it would be eye-catching, don't look back and let people be big and move the mind of robbery, it's not good.
However, Zhou Shaoyu can be regarded as white and tender now, and at first glance, it is not something that can be born and raised in an ordinary family, so he simply smeared a little dust on his face, which looked dirty.
Wu Meiniang was also dressed as a village woman, wrapped in a headscarf to cover up, carrying a small package, and followed behind Zhou Shaoyu with some uneasy nervousness, in the end, it was someone else's territory, Chenghui was chaotic, afraid of accidents, only Zhou Shaoyu could rely on it at the moment, so she naturally behaved like this.
"Don't panic, lady, you should be well protected for your husband." Zhou Shaoyu looked at this appearance and said with a smile, this time the two of them were disguised in the name of husband and wife, brother and sister are not impossible, but it is inevitable that there will be trouble, such as what if someone really comes to propose a kiss or something, Xu must not be allowed, but it is also unpleasant to be in vain, if it is small-minded, it is not good to hold a grudge.
"No one else hears this, don't take advantage of me for nothing." Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes, this is still in the wilderness, how can it be heard, Zhou Shaoyu shouted directly, isn't it just taking advantage.
"No, no, no." Zhou Shaoyu shook his finger and said: "Do you need to adapt, lest you show the stuffing in front of people, don't believe you call me a husband to try?" When the Baozhu family heard it, they felt that something was wrong. ”
"No, if you call it, you will call it, isn't it husband, husband, husband......" Wu Meiniang's mouth was hard, but when it came to the critical moment, she stuttered again, and her face was rosy like powder.
"Look, what I'm talking about, it's better to get used to it earlier." Zhou Shaoyu smiled proudly.
"How can a woman who has not come out of the cabinet suddenly call out as if nothing happened!" Wu Meiniang stomped her feet, Zhou Shaoyu was proud, and it was not good to be popular.
Not out of the cabinet? Zhou Shaoyu blinked, Wu Meiniang is not out of the cabinet, although she is a yellow flower girl, she is not very old, but after all, she participated in the draft and entered the palace, and she is still a five-grade talent, no matter what, she can't be regarded as not out of the cabinet.
But this can't be said directly, since everyone thinks that they are not out of the cabinet, why should Zhou Shaoyu say that this is unhappy, originally, people have only met Li Er a few times, and they haven't felt it at all, so they were taken away by Zhou Shaoyu.
Now that the two get along, plus the time in the Tang Dynasty, it is not short, and the relationship is always a little bit, otherwise they would not joke so casually, but pretending to be a small couple, don't say it's just pretending, even if it's a really small couple, when they just got married, they will be a little ashamed.
"Forget it, forget it, if you can't call it, just call it Brother Zhou, it can also be explained as a relationship between childhood sweethearts, so it's used to it." Zhou Shaoyu saw that she was really panicked, and she was no longer reluctant.
"Cousin, cousin...... "Wu Meiniang is finally not so awkward now, but didn't you call Brother Zhou, why is it cousin."
Zhou Shaoyu was slightly embarrassed, although it is not too normal for the ancient brothers and sisters to get married, but as a future generation, it is somewhat awkward and cannot be so easy to accept, it feels weird, and I suddenly secretly rejoiced in my heart, fortunately, the four tigers of the Zhou family are all grandfathers, if there is a woman among the brothers, and then marry someone and have another girl, it is not good that Zhou Shaoyu has not crossed over, Zhou Dashan in order to continue the bloodline of the Zhou family, he will really choose to let Zhou Shaoyu and his cousin set a kiss or something, if this is the case, Zhou Shaoyu should sit on wax when he crosses over.
"Ahaha, hello cousin, I remember when you were a child, you peed your pants for a while......" Zhou Shaoyu brought in his identity and casually made it up, childhood sweethearts, it is normal to know some secret things.
In fact, the reason why there were many marriages between cousins in ancient times was not only because of kissing and kissing, but mainly because of the influence of etiquette, the so-called male and female defense, it is difficult to contact other women.
However, after all, it is hearsay, even if a mother can see each other with her own eyes, it is only a simple meeting, and I really don't know how it really is.
And cousins, because they are relatives, always have a lot of initiative on weekdays, and the children of the two parties know what their temperament is the clearest, and they know the roots, and the two have known each other since childhood, and have been playmates, and they also have an understanding of each other. It can be said that the first playmates of the opposite sex that men often came into contact with in ancient times were cousins, as for other families? Don't even think about it.
Under this premise, coupled with the recognition of relatives and relatives, it is natural that marriage between cousins has become the general trend.
Wu Meiniang has been with Zhou Shaoyu for a long time, and she knows Zhou Shaoyu's temperament quite well, if she really looks embarrassed at this moment, she is afraid that she will be bullied, so she resolutely fought back with a ruddy face: "Yes, but my cousin fell into the toilet the next day." ”
Zhou Shaoyu blinked, this girl trembled, she didn't let her be bullied casually, and fought back, smiled, and said: "It's not because of you, I fell so badly, at that time, where did my little arms and legs stop, it was not normal to be pulled down by you." ”
Faint, Wu Meiniang sweats, is this okay? Can you still pull it on her?
Gritting her teeth and holding back her nausea, Wu Meiniang also said, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank you, obviously my mouth and nose are flooded, and I should raise my hand to send me up, vomit ......"
Yes, I can't bear it before I finish speaking.
Zhou Shaoyu laughed, stretched out his finger, and said with a smile: "I can't blame me, you brought it up first, it's obviously quite fragrant, why should you be satisfied with the toilet, and you did it yourself." ”
Villain! Wu Meiniang lost her eyes, anyway, after following Zhou Shaoyu, she opened her eyes, you have to say careful, Zhou Shaoyu really has it, sometimes the caring behavior is really heartwarming, but sometimes, there is no demeanor at all, it really makes people ashamed and angry, and the schadenfreude is boundless.
Wu Meiniang was about to open her mouth to refute something, but Zhou Shaoyu frowned, stretched out her hand, and hurriedly pulled Wu Meiniang to immediately leave the already potholed road, and hid in the bushes among the woods in the mountains next to her.
The next moment, I saw the intersection in front of me, and twenty or thirty ragged people walked out, some men and women, some old and some young, and the clothes on their bodies seemed to be moving, but they were a little poorer.
Two wheelbarrows were pushed in the middle, one of which had a lot of shabby sundries, while the other was lying an old man, who was obviously not in good health, but in good spirits. The others are basically carrying a small package, and some are carrying a pot, no matter how you look at it, they are all moving with their families.
This is rare, moving in ancient times is not like later generations, no one wants to be far from home.
The ancients attached great importance to the clan, maybe the ancestors did not have any figures, but the development of generation after generation, the development of the relatives will only get bigger and bigger, although it will be controlled by the clan, but with the power of the clan, it will not be so easy to be bullied, at least how people are.
"Daddy, is Long County really that good?" A girl dressed in a very wide and shabby dress held her mother's hand, but turned her head to ask the man pushing the wheelbarrow next to her.
As soon as he heard the word Long County, Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, isn't that his own territory, the chief official is Cao Jie, out of trust, Zhou Shaoyu has always only issued big policies, unless they have no experience, such as the propaganda matters last time, Zhou Shaoyu will personally control some things, otherwise they basically leave it alone, and let them play by themselves in the details, as long as there is no big mess, they can always be recovered.
A few days ago, Cao Jie came to Zhuzhu County to participate in the party, and went back after a day, this time Zhou Shaoyu also set off directly from Zhuzhu County, although he passed through the boundary of Long County, but he did not go to the county seat to chatter, it is what Long County looks like now, it is really not very clear.
"That's nature!" The man's tone was a little expectant, and he didn't care whether his daughter's age could understand it or not, so he said loudly: "Listen to your third uncle's words, there is a women's army in Long County, and the people in charge are all women, but they can be described as women, and their soldiers and Minqiu have no offenses, and even have a lot of help, the female county commander heard that she is shrewd and capable, and she is only in order, although the people are not rich, but they are extremely happy, but they are not afraid of being robbed by those wicked people, and now they are recruiting people to settle down in Long County, not only to divide the house, but also to divide the land, and food as a reward,
When I first heard it, I didn't worry, how could there be such a good thing in the world, until your third uncle saw it with his own eyes, it was true, so he came to tell him, in the future, as long as it stabilizes, our family will not be afraid of hunger anymore. There is already a big drought this year, and the Lu family still has to forcibly collect seventy percent of the rent, just a few thin fields, how can we live, so ah, going to Long County is our only way to live. ”
As soon as the words fell, the rest of the people's faces that were still a little apprehensive were also a little more expectant, Zhou Shaoyu understood that in fact, this man may not have the bottom in his heart, it is likely that he can't live in Jingxian County, so he has to take risks and try.
smiled in his heart, and said that Cao Jie, the county commander, did it, but it became more and more decent, and he knew that he was recruiting people, and the effect seemed to be not bad?
After tidying up his clothes, Zhou Shaoyu came out of the mountains and forests, ready to ask a few more questions.
"Everyone, please, in Xia and Clumsy Jing strayed into the mountains and forests, but they can't distinguish between east and west, north and south, I don't know if Long County is going in this direction?" Zhou Shaoyu was used to pretending to be a scholar, but he forgot about this stubble when he changed into coarse linen clothes for a while, and he also gave up a pair of scholars.
Zhou Shaoyu came out suddenly, scared people, what sickle and hoe were taken out, seeing that the other party was just a young couple, this was at ease, as for Zhou Shaoyu's style, the man was not surprised, but he waved his hand to tell his family not to be nervous, so he said: "Speaking so sven, presumably this little brother is also a scholar." ”
Zhou Shaoyu was stunned, and then he realized that he was now pretending to be an ordinary person, not a scholar, fortunately, there were many criminal officials who were exiled to Chenghui in the previous dynasty, and many families have developed to the present, although they have declined, but after all, they have some inheritance, and they are dressed in shabby linen clothes, but their manners are not too rare. But if it were to change places, it would be really strange.
"Eh, this brother is really hot-eyed, his surname is Zhou, his ancestor was in the previous dynasty, and he was also a very popular minister, but it's a pity that the eunuch party did evil, hey, don't mention it......" Zhou Shaoyu arched his hand again, shook his head, and sighed.
"It turned out to be Brother Zhou Xian." This man doesn't care if people don't introduce the whole people, it's just a meeting in Pingshui, like a decent arch of his hand, and said: "In the next surname, the ancestor of the family used to be the left waiter of the former court officials, these are relatives, if Brother Zhou Xian goes to the county seat of Jingxian, he can go to this road for two hours, but Jingxian is not peaceful now, if this little brother has nothing important, it is better to stay away." ”
Not peaceful? Zhou Shaoyu frowned slightly, and said, "It turned out to be Brother Xiang, I don't know why Jingxian County is not peaceful?" ”
"I don't know the specifics, I heard that a nest of mountain bandits suddenly appeared in Jingxian County, who came and went like the wind and robbed several times, and even the relatives of the Lu family were suffering, and the Lu family was furious, and was recruiting people to prepare for encirclement and suppression, but because of this, they forcibly asked people to pay seventy or eighty percent of the rent, and if they did not comply, they even dared to forcibly sell other people's children, hey, in my opinion, the Lu family is a bandit." Xiang Xingzi shook his head and said.
Zhou Shaoyu touched his chin, although Chen Shuozhen sent a letter, it was not as detailed as he and Gao Xiujun said, it should be said that the typical good news does not report the bad news, Zhou Shaoyu also understands, this is not to let himself be too distracted.
But listening to this, I also estimated that there was a seventy-seven-eighty-eight, what kind of bandit is this, and the eight achievements are Chen Shuozhen and Yang Miaozhen pretending to be, as long as the contradictions between the people and the Lu family in power in Jingxian County become more and more intense, then Chen Shuozhen will have more room to play.
However, Chen Shuozhen and the others only have a few people now, and the Lu family is overbearing, except for a few hundred private soldiers, they can also recruit two thousand at any time, even if they remove those who do not contribute to the work, there are many people, and they will definitely not be able to fight if they really fight, the situation is not necessarily good, and I don't know if the base has been discovered.
A few polite words, Zhou Shaoyu still wanted to go to Jing County, and the reason for finding it was to defect to relatives, but Xiang Xingzi also persuaded him not to go to Long County, Zhou Shaoyu had to say that if it didn't work, he would come, and he also heard that Long County was good, so the two said goodbye.
"My cousin's words are really full of leaks, since he is defecting to a relative, how can he only bring such a small package?" Wu Meiniang padded the small package on her shoulder pad and said with disdain.
"It's not okay to be in trouble." Zhou Shaoyu rolled his eyes, it didn't matter, just fool the past, would people still be able to investigate it? It's just a meeting in Pingshui.
"With your and my bodies, I don't want to suffer disasters." Wu Meiniang said speechlessly.
"It used to be a fat man, but now that he's lost weight, can't he? Do you have to be skinny? Zhou Shaoyu continued to roll his eyes.
Wu Meiniang was happy, covered her mouth and smiled, this scoundrel.
