The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 23: No change in local accent
In the twelve years of the same Tai Dynasty, the Yongjun army invaded Wuyue in the Donghai Sea camp, and Zhe was on the march. On February 12th, the Yongjun entered Jiaxing, and Zhe sneaked to worship his mother, and met the Jing family. know.
——”The Southern Dynasties Chu Shi Jiang Suiyun Biography”
Jiaxing Yanyu Building was originally a famous building in the southeast, and the most scholarly visitors, especially in the early spring of February, the blue willows are like smoke, the clear waves are rippling, the shadows of fishing boats and sails come and go, and the scenery is the most pleasant. It’s a pity that although it is time to admire the scenery, the people in the building are frowning. As early as a few days ago, there had been rumors that the Yong army had captured Dinghai, but this news did not cause them to be too horrified. In the land of Wu Yue, almost few encounters with soldiers, in their minds, the Yong army will soon Repelled by Yuhang Water Camp. However, the evolution of the matter caught them off guard. Almost instantly, the Yong army’s aggressive offensive had already swept the land of Wu Yue. The day before yesterday, the Yong army had captured Pinghu and Haining. According to the news from the two places, the Yong army did not massacre, but detained the local soldiers and civilians in the city and prevented them from moving freely. Although they don’t understand the intentions of the Yong army, for this reason, the soldiers and civilians of Jiaxing could not help but feel relieved. The Yong army attacked Yue County by surprise. Once the South Chu Army counterattacked, the Yong army would be forced to retreat to the sea. As long as the Yong army did not kill people, Then there is nothing serious about losing some money and food.
Everyone in the building are young children from major families in Jiaxing, and there are also well-known poor people in Jiaxing. Now the Yongjun forward has arrived in the outskirts of Jiaxing. These young children don’t want to be trapped at home, and they all gather in Yanyulou. Knowing the latest battle situation, only these courageous young people have the courage to gather at this time. One of these young people has a slightly different look. He is a young man with a weak crown and Confucian clothes, handsome in appearance, and deep-minded. Sitting at the window overlooking the scenery of Nanhu Lake, he seems to be isolated from everyone. The people all over the building also avoided him intentionally or unintentionally, but they secretly paid attention to his look. The young man’s name was Jing Xin, he was the eldest grandson of the Jing family and the son of Jing Changqing.
Different from the atmosphere of attacking Jiangzhe in different places, the family in Jiaxing is intricately rooted. For the sake of the Jing family’s face, most of them are silent, and deep down, these family members secretly envy the Jing family’s side sect. People like Jiang Zhe. In the eyes of these aristocratic families, the glory of the family is the most important. Although the warriors of Dayong are inevitably regarded as barbarians, and they are not as popular as the Southern poets, the power of Dayong still makes them feel lingering. Therefore, even if it is to keep a back road, the Jiaxing family has never dared to neglect the Jing family. This is one reason that Shang Weijun wanted to eradicate the Jing family but could not proceed smoothly. Of course, the Jing clan was not completely unaffected. For the face of the court, the Jiaxing family would still be somewhat indifferent to the Jing clan on the surface. As the heir of the Jing family, Jing Xin naturally has a deep understanding of this situation. If Dayong and other countries go to war, when the young people are in the Yanyulou debate, they will often surround him. If Dayong and Nanchu are fighting, everyone will I isolated him intentionally or unintentionally, but of course, he would not turn a blind eye to him, and even pay more attention to his judgments. Over time, Jing Xin became accustomed to this treatment, so today he deliberately kept a distance from everyone.
Looking at the lake outside the window, Jing Qizhi was not as calm as it appeared. He had never seen this cousin Jiang Zhe and had no impression, but he knew a little about Jiang Hanqiu, the father of Jiang Zhe. . When Jiang Hanqiu left Jiaxing in the past years, he took away all his manuscripts, but in Jing’s study, he left a few notes with his reading experience. Since Jing Xin learned about Jiang Zhe, So I went to read those notes. Although Jiang Hanqiu’s nationality is unknown, his notes can be said to be comprehensive and insightful. Every time after Jing Xin read it, there was a new harvest, and he couldn’t help but sigh. With such a father, it is no wonder that Jiang Zhe can be famous all over the world.
For Jiang Zhe, there are two tendencies within the Jing clan. Just like Jing Shunjing, who simply went to Dayong, and relied on Jiang Zhe’s support to rebuild his family business, and like Jing Changqing, he was angry and unfair. Acting as a gangster. Jing Zhizhong understood that over the years, his grandfather had gradually turned to his second uncle, and even the clan was dissatisfied with his father. He wanted to let his second uncle take over as the head of the paternal family. It was only a hindrance to his second uncle’s business in Da Yong. In the eyes of Jing Zhongxin, he naturally disagrees with his father’s stubbornness and does not care about family affection, but if he depends on Jiang Zhe to vote for Dayong, he is also not willing. Why does Jing rely on outsiders to gain a foothold? This is what he thought in his heart.
At this moment, a young man rushed upstairs and said loudly: “Well, the Jiaxing garrison did not dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy. They have broken up and fled. The Yong army has entered the city and is under martial law along the way. Residents are not allowed to walk on the street. In a few moments, we will arrive at Yanyulou.”
These young people are in a big uproar, and fear is born in their hearts. Although there is no news of the Yongjun slaughter of the city, this kind of man is a knife, and I am not comfortable for the fish and meat. A heroic young man said angrily: “It’s all Shang Weijun That servant, only knows that the search and accumulation, this Wu Yue civil and military official position is his capital to sell the official, the wise man serves as the subordinate Chen, the mediocre generation will instead be the golden horse, otherwise, how can the Yong army go straight to the inland of Wuyue.” The words were all cheering in unison. He usually hindered Shang Weijun’s prestige, and even if he was dissatisfied, he could only discuss a few words in private. Today, the young man denounced in public and Jiaxing was in trouble again. Everyone felt happy. But even so, it is of no avail, and everyone sighs sadly. A pudgy young man looked at Jing Xin and saw his calm expression. He couldn’t help but sarcastically said: “Brother Jing can sit back and relax. Even if the Yong army slaughters Jiaxing, he will not embarrass the Jing clan. He can still be safe in the midst of war and chaos. Returning from Huaidong, how about now?”
Jing Xin was originally a deep-minded person, and he couldn’t help being furious. Jing Changqing was in distress in Chuzhou. Fortunately, someone secretly rescued Jing Changqing’s family back to Jiaxing. If Jing Xin hadn’t stayed at home to serve his grandfather, Surely suffer this disaster. The person who sent him off did not show any signs, coming and going without a trace, but he wanted to come and knew that he would be able to rescue Jing Changqing during the war in Huaidong, he must be an extraordinary person. The Jing clan originally did not want to make any announcements about this matter, but unexpectedly, he was severely investigated by the people in charge of the court, and Jing Changqing was imprisoned for guilt, and even the beheading document had been issued. However, at this time, news came that the Yong army had broken through Dinghai, that is, no matter how bold the Jiaxing government was, they did not dare to cut Jing Changqing to a decision at this time. Instead, they hid the document and let Jing Changqing release his bail. Although others don’t know it, every major family in Jiaxing knows it. This matter was both the secret of Jing’s family and the taboo in Jing’s confidence. This short and fat young man felt that he had failed to say something when he said it, but when he saw Jing Xin’s gloomy face, he felt that he was right, showing a jealous look.
At this time, another calm young man said: “This is the end of the matter, and Jiaxing has already benefited the Yong Army. Let’s go home separately, or share the joys and sorrows with our families.” These young men knew that they had not turned around. The strength of the situation took advantage of Yanyulou’s martial law and left one by one.
Jing Xin stood upstairs and bowed his head silently, his expression was cold, thinking that his father was humiliated in Chuzhou, it was very difficult to escape along the way, but in the eyes of the children of the Jiaxing family, it was just a pose, which really made him hate. Suddenly, a thought came into his heart, if he joined the army and drove the Yong army out of Wu Yue, I think no one would accuse the Jing family of collaborating with the enemy. This idea came out like a prairie fire, out of control. At this moment, the sound of chaos came from downstairs. He walked to another window and looked down. The street was full of panicked people. The army of the Yong army was pouring in from all directions like a black iron current. Under their strong intimidation, these Nanchu civilians who were unable to protect themselves closed their houses and returned home, and the entire city of Jiaxing had gradually fallen under the control of the Yong Army.
Jing Xin was about to turn around and go downstairs, and took the opportunity to return home. He had not yet walked down the stairs. Only a few heavy-footed black-clad sergeants came upstairs with a boy in Tsing Yi. Jing was shocked in confidence and had not yet made any decisions. In response, a sergeant pushed him aside and asked according to the hilt: “Who are you and why are you still hanging around in the Yanyulou?” The sergeant was murderous. Obviously, if Jing Xin answered incorrectly, he must Kill him with a single knife.
Jing Xin said angrily: “Lateborn was originally here to enjoy the lake view. Your army entered the city and it was too late to dodge. If you wait for this to harm you, there is nothing to say about the lateborn.”
The sergeant smiled and said, “You scholar is very domineering.” Yan said back and asked: “Master Huo, do you want to imprison him?”
The boy in Tsing Yi came up and said with a smile: “This is our rudeness. The Yanyu Building is a place where everyone can come to enjoy and play. There is nothing strange about Xiongtai here. In the next Huo Cong, I would like to ask my brother. Taizun’s surname is his surname. I see that Xiongtai has a great attitude. He is still hanging around outside at this time. It must be a young man from Jiaxing.”
Jing Xin stared at him intently. This Tsing Yi boy was only sixteen or seven years old. His appearance was unremarkable, but his expression was indifferent, and the black sergeants could tell at a glance that they were ordinary sergeants, Jing Xin Although I don’t know much about military affairs, I also know that the color of the Yong army’s uniform is black. Those who can wear black clothes and black armor must be warriors of the Yong army. This young man can command these black-clothed sergeants at such an age. He must be an important figure in the Yong Army. Although he knows that this man is a strong enemy of Southern Chu, but seeing him and Yan Yue, there is no hatred in Jing’s confidence. Goodbye, there is a kind of grace and indifferent attitude between his eyebrows, and he dared not neglect, and bowed and said: “Late born Jing Xin, I dare not be called a master.”
The boy in Tsing Yi smiled when he heard the words, “It turned out to be a talented man from the Jing clan in Jiaxing. I heard that Brother Jing had already been selected by the Juren when he was fourteen. If he had not studied behind closed doors in recent years and did not seek fame, he would have Famous on the gold list, became the pillars of Southern Chu.”
Jing Xin listened to his tone, as if he didn’t pay attention to his Jing family status, but he was relieved, but when he heard his compliment, he felt a chill. Since the two countries have fought, they are not against the enemy’s talents. According to his own possession, it means killing and then quickly. Although this young man said a few words, it may be the judgment of his own life and death. But when dealing with this situation, he can only smile and say: “Master Huo is so young, but he is obviously respected by the warriors of your army. Presumably, his status must be important. Such a person can be regarded as a pillar of talent. Jing has no fame. He only reads and drinks on weekdays, and browses the scenery of South Lake in his leisure time. He has no ambitions. How can he be called a pillar, he is praised by Huo Gongzi.”
The young man in Tsing Yi smiled faintly when he heard the words, and said: “Brother Jing is too acclaimed. I am just a person with no merit. I met with Young Master Jing today. Huo is interested in asking Young Master to have a few drinks. , I don’t know what the son wants?”
Jing Xin smiled bitterly, glanced at the few sergeants standing by the sword, and said: “Dare not follow your life.”
The boy in Tsing Yi invited Jing Xin to the table. Under the supervision of the Yong Army sergeant, the guy in the building brought food and wine to him tremblingly. Jing Xin was nervous at first, but after a few glasses of wine, seeing that the Tsing Yi boy had never mentioned the relationship between Jing and Jiang Zhe, nor had he deliberately solicited, he calmed down. Although he was a little bit self-deprecating, it seemed that his talents were still not learned. It is eye-catching, but it is already free to speak and behave. The Tsing Yi boy claimed to have come to Jiaxing for the first time, so he asked Jing Xin about the scenic spots in Jiaxing.
Jing Xin is already a little bit drunk, pointing to the lake in front of the building: “Jiaxing South Lake, known as the Southeastern Wonderful Show, this is the Luhu Lake, the famous Xiuchuan in the southwest of Jiaxing, and the Mandarin Duck Lake is connected to this lake. , The two lakes are called Nanhu Lake. Panhu Lake is the place where the crowds meet, stop for performances and take in its situation. It is really a bell for a spiritual show. There is a long embankment in the Yuanyang Lake, and there is a stone bridge on the embankment called Wulong Bridge. The lake on the east of the bridge is called the East Lake, and the west of the bridge is the West Lake. The ancients once said, “The waters of the east and west lakes are comparable to mandarin ducks. The mandarin ducks and birds in the lake have double wings and long wings.” (Note 1), which describes the beauty of the mandarin duck lake. It is called Lihu and Lihu, and it is called Fanlihu for future generations to join the meeting. Fan Shaobo’s shrine is built on the lakeside to worship the virtuous.’Licheng Nanfanlihu, wild peach blossoms fall in spring. The lake is planted with poplar. The lotus root in the pond looks like a Xishi arm without it.'(Note 2), this poem chants the beauty of the West Lake, and the Xishi arm is the name of the lotus root in the West Lake.”
Huo Cong listened attentively, smiled and saw that Jing Xin was very energetic and energetic, thinking about the identity of this person, and his heart, as he deserves to be the relatives of the husband, he toasted and said: “Brother Jing is really talented, little brother I also remember a few predecessors’ words and verses, describing the scenery of the Yanyulou building. I don’t know if Brother Jing has heard it?” He calmly chanted, “Before the drizzle, the water chestnut blossoms and the apple blossoms are broken. The rain is farther and the smoke is farther. The flat-bottomed boat is light, and the fisherman’s song outside the willows is gentle. The wind blows away and the mandarin ducks fly all over, but no one sees it.” (Note 3)
After this poem, Jing Jingzheng turned his mind, his brows were deep furrowed, and he was silent. He once saw a banner in his grandfather’s study. It was these lines. The inscription was Qingyuan layman, Qingyuan layman was Jiang The nickname of Jiang Hanqiu, the father of Zhe, is not widely spread. At least Jing Xin has never seen Jiaxing and others know about it, but this young man chanted it. Could this person be related to Jiang Zhe? Suspicions arose in his heart, and his expression gradually changed. The boy in Tsing Yi asked him three questions, but he couldn’t answer a single sentence, and the atmosphere upstairs suddenly became embarrassing.
At this time, a middle-aged general stepped upstairs and clasped his fist to the Tsing Yi boy: “Counselor Huo, Jiaxing has all been controlled, please join the army to order.”
The boy in Tsing Yi stood up and said: “General Fang does not need to be courteous, Huo Cong is only temporarily holding a false position.”
The middle-aged general looked respectful, and said: “Master Hou has an order. You must obey the counselor’s orders this time. Please don’t hesitate to order from Counselor Huo.”
The boy in Tsing Yi smiled slightly and said: “So Huo is good at specializing, please ask General Fang, the head of the Jiaxing family, and celebrities to come to Yanyulou.”
This middle-aged general is Fang Yuanxin. He is one of the best generals in the East China Sea. He is good at fighting. He would not obey the orders of a young man who is still stinking. But since he arrived in Dinghai, Huo Cong was ordered to sort out the remains of Dinghaijun Mountain Documents and maps, these documents are related to Dinghaijun Mountain. Later, Huo Cong knew well about the military situation of Dinghai and Wuyue coastal terrain, and even Jinghaihou had to rely on him. The big camp established by the East Sea Army in Dinghai was perfected by him based on the drawings. He knew exactly where to build strongholds and where to set up outposts. In the end, Jinghaihou appointed him the post of counsellor. There is no objection. What’s more, he was a disciple of Chu Junhou, who was commensurate with the brothers of Jinghaihou, so these generals did not dare to despise him. This time Jiang Haitao couldn’t prevent Jiang Zhe from coming to Jiaxing, so he specifically made Huo Cong responsible for the looting of Yuejun, and Fang Yuan’s new army was for the sake of Jiang Zhe’s safety. Otherwise, although Huo Cong could excel, Jiang Haitao would not Let a young man in charge of this matter.
Jing Xin heard from the side that his expression had changed drastically. Although he guessed that the identity of this young man was important, he did not think that the life and death of the soldiers and people in Jiaxing were in the hands of this person. I want to say goodbye, but the boy in Tsing Yi has already laughed and said, “Brother Jing is a talented person, Huo Cong admires him in his heart, and asks Brother Jing to stay a little longer to introduce Jiaxing talents to the next. Brother Jing stayed around for a while.” When I looked up, I saw that the young man in Tsing Yi had a calm expression without any pretentiousness. Even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn’t say anything. If Da Yong is such a talented man, how can Nan Chu survive for a long time? Jing Xin sighed, what can he do if he can’t help it?
Beside the Mandarin Duck Lake, there is a plum forest. In the plum forest, there is a pingzi with a radius of several meters. In the shadow of the plum blossoms, there is a tomb. There is a blue stone tombstone in front of the tomb. Covered by moss, it is difficult to read the text. However, although the tombstone is broken, the tomb seems to be taken care of. The grass is green and there are more fragrant flowers enshrined, and there are trails on the grounds. Obviously people often wander around here. Compared with the grassland outside of Meilin, it is really weird.
In the late afternoon, the silence here was shattered by the voices. A man wearing a large cyan cloak and wearing a Xinyang hat is slowly walking towards Meilin. Behind him, a young man in Qingyi with a face like snow is walking forward. Behind the two of them, some black sergeants guarded tightly. In addition to Meilin, some black-robed sergeants surrounded Meilin Tuan Tuan. The grass outside the forest has been destroyed to pieces. The man frowned when he saw it. He could not help but rejoice that he would not disturb the peace of the dead. In order to prevent these warriors from entering Merlin.
Before Meilin, the boy in Tsing Yi walked into the forest. Although he didn’t pay much attention to his steps, the grass did not break wherever he went. It can be seen that his light work was outstanding. Not long after, the boy in Tsing Yi came out of the forest. It’s time to go in to pay homage to the old lady.” The man sighed softly, gently removed the blue cloak, and took off the hat that covered his face, revealing the gorgeous vermilion face in white clothes. He walked towards the inside of Merlin, the boy in Tsing Yi took the joss stick paper money in the hands of a warrior, and then entered the forest. The black-clothed guards are all carefully watching the surroundings. The Tai Yong Li Ma and the Chu Jun Hou Jiangzhe have come here to pay homage to the dead mother. Even if Jiaxing has fallen into the hands of the Yong Army, they cannot be careless. , Isn’t it extremely troublesome.
I looked at the faintly like Merlin in my dream, remembering the scene of saying goodbye to my mother’s tomb that day. I couldn’t help but shed tears on the loess, bowed down in front of the tomb, and suddenly the tears fell silently. If my mother died, how could my father get along? My uncle was born with suspicion, so he left his homeland and wandered south of the Yangtze River. If it were not for the fatigue of the journey, how could my father relapse from his old illness, and how could he be heartbroken because he regretted the death of his mother, so that I was left alone. My father died of a broken heart, and I was floating for half of my life, all because of the death of my mother. Thinking about this, how can I not let my heart break.
I don’t know how long I have been crying, and there was a cold infuriating infuriating energy at the back of my neck. I shuddered all over, and only then came to my senses, knowing that it was Shunzi who saw that I was too sad. I glanced at Xiao Shunzi, who was kneeling behind me, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, and then took the paper money joss stick in his hand and burned it in front of his mother’s tomb. My eyes flashed, I saw the stone stele blinded by the moss, and felt a pain in my heart. He stretched out his hand to remove the moss, revealing the handsome and elegant writing on the stele. On the stele was written “The Tomb of Jing Family in Jiangmen”, and the signature was “Cold Autumn Weeping”. word.
Seeing the father’s calligraphy on the tablet, the hostility that had been born in my heart gradually dissipated, and vigorous footsteps came from my ears. From far and near, Xiao Shunzi walked out of Merlin, and soon turned back: “It’s the home of the Jing family. The Lord came and was blocked by Hu Yan. Do you want to see him?” I hesitated and said, “Please come in, uncle.”
Not long after, an old man in Chinese clothes walked in with a stick. This man was over seventy years old, with white beard and hair, an old face, and a cold expression, but seeing his posture, he knew he was still light and healthy. He walked into Merlin without looking at me. He walked to the tomb and looked at the tomb. For a long time, he said: “Zheer, you have been away from Jiaxing for many years. This should be the first time you come back to worship your mother.”
I sighed, and finally bowed: “My uncle is as healthy as ever, see you by my nephew Jiang Zhe.”
The old man did not step forward to help, and said indifferently: “Your accent still has a Jiaxing lingering rhyme, and you have never forgotten your hometown, but why do you give such a polite gift, you should know my hatred for your father and son. Me and Your mother’s biological mother died early, her stepmother was bad, and her father was drunk on official careers. My siblings suffered loneliness at home. If I hadn’t been comforted by my younger sister, I had already left home and would never have the chance to inherit the family’s head. Your mother is not good personally, and I don’t want her to marry someone who loves you, so I personally choose a son-in-law for her. Your father has no intention of official career and talented, so I was taken in my favor and persuaded his father to marry the younger sister to him.”
I stood up and listened to his words silently. His tone was excited. Obviously these thoughts had been buried for many years and no one could tell them. Only this time I told them. I am not clear about these past events. I heard from my uncle today. Speaking of it, I listened attentively. When I heard this, I interrupted and said: “When my father was alive, he said that he and his mother used to be a mandarin couple, and Uncle Duomen mediated it.”
The old man snorted coldly: “At last he still has some conscience, huh, after the younger sister married your father, she raised her eyebrows and respected each other like a guest. Only after a while, she was pregnant with you, and she often fainted. Called a good doctor to treat her, the healer said that your mother was born with inadequacy, and if she gave birth, she would be worried about her life. It was not too late if the medicine was used to shed the fetus. I would persuade your parents to agree, if your father is not worried Heir, at most I will send him a few concubines. Unexpectedly, your father refused to agree, and the result is that the younger sister is almost alive after giving birth to you. The next few years are lingering sickbeds. If not, how could you be When the plague broke out, she was affected and died. It was your father and son who killed her. It’s fine if you come back to worship today, but if you want to send Jiang Hanqiu’s coffin back to be buried together, unless I die, it is absolutely impossible. “
Hearing this, my vague memories of the past are gradually coming back. I remember that when I was young, although it was common for my father and mother to sing and play piano and zither, my mother was always so pale and weak, and remembered what my father had vaguely revealed in the past. Half-words, tears fell, and weeping: “Don’t my uncle understand that this decision is meant by the mother, and father is just unwilling to disobey the mother’s pains.”
The old man trembled, looked at Jiang Zhe’s face, and the shadow of the dead sister floated in his heart. He found that the nephew’s appearance and profile were quite similar to the dead sister. The younger sister was so tearful that day, begging for certainty. It took a long time to leave the fetus, before he sighed: “You are right. If the younger sister insisted, how could I give in? It’s just that the pain of losing a sister is hard to calm, so I have to anger your father and son.” Then, it seemed that the pillar of hatred that had supported him for many years had collapsed, and his expression was a bit more decadent, and his posture seemed to be a lot weaker.
I also feel very bitter in my heart. Although my uncle caused my father and son to drift away, it was because of his deep affection for my mother’s brothers and sisters. In the plum forest, the footprints are tragic. Obviously, my uncle often comes to worship my mother, but deliberately The stone monument erected by my father was covered by moss, but it was because his grievances towards his father remained unabated. After I won the number one prize, the Jing clan members were quite eager to reconcile with me, but in the end they didn’t stop. I didn’t mean it, but it was mostly because of my uncle’s opposition, which is also because my uncle angered me. However, in the final analysis, it is because he can’t forget his mother, why should I fight him. Thinking of this, I stepped forward and bowed deeply, saying: “Uncle, after my father left Jiaxing, he also missed his mother’s illness. Because I didn’t want to hurt my father, I didn’t dare to ask more about my mother, uncle. Now here, why not talk to the nephew about the demeanor of my mother, so that there will be more memories in Zhe’s heart.”
When the old man heard the words, he couldn’t help but laughed, and said with a smile: “Your mother loves plums the most in her life. If plum blossoms are in bud, she stays up all night waiting for the plum blossoms to bloom. The plum blossoms bloom early, so she must go to enjoy the plum blossoms, even if the ice and snow has not disappeared, she will not take care of it. Once she was ill and heard that the plum blossoms were first released in the garden, so she went into the garden without paying attention to the maidservant’s persuasion. After Zhemei, she suffered a cold, severe illness and fainted for several days. Since she married your father, she often sang with your father Qinzheng, and even made a zither song “The Fall of Plum Blossoms”, which describes the aloofness of Meihua Qinghua Do you still have an impression of the posture?”
I thought about it for a moment, remembered it, and sang softly: “There are so many trees in the atrium, but it is Mei Zisao. I ask you He Duran? I think it can make flowers in frost, and make fruits in dew. Sway the spring breeze. On a beautiful spring day, Nian’er is fading away from the cold wind, and there is only frost and no frost. (Note 4)”
The old man closed his eyes and listened as he sang his best to say: “That year Jiaxing was hit by the plague, and your mother was frail and unfortunately contracted. When she was leaving, she told me and your father that although she did not want to leave, Helpless, but after all, you can’t resist the destiny. Although you are young, you have your own father to take care of it. Forgive me, but you can’t take another look at Meihuafeixue, but you are dead. So after your mother died, I chose this place. Mei Lin is buried in her, so that Mei Xiang will drown her shadow and she will always accompany her soul.”
I remembered that when my mother passed away, I was still young, and because of the epidemic, I was sent to live somewhere else. I couldn’t see my mother for the last time. I couldn’t help crying, and said, “Uncle doesn’t really need to My mother was hurt, and my mother was taken care of by her uncle when she was young. After she got married, she had a deep affection with her dad and wife. Although unfortunately passed away early, she must have peace and joy in her heart at the time, because her uncle and dad loved her so much. Even if you die, you will not feel that this life is false.”
I don’t know when, the setting sun has sunk to the west, the sunset glows into the plum forest, and the mist dyed with light red will sink and float, and if there is no plum fragrance, the plum forest is like a fairyland jade pond, sinking in the grave It was our close relatives who slept again. There was silence in the plum forest, and the air was condensed with a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, making both of us reluctant to speak. The old man seemed to be plunged into memories, and there was a gentle nostalgia between his brows.
For a long time, the afterglow of the sunset gradually dimmed, and the old man woke up and said calmly: “How do you come here, how are you going to treat the Jiaxing family and how are you going to treat the Jing family?”
I sighed slightly. After all, I wanted to get back to business. Compared with the survival of the family, which is more important and less important, my uncle also understands it, not to mention that we are dearest relatives after all. He raised his head and smiled and said: “Where is the uncle? With this said, Zhe is just taking advantage of the opportunity of our army to take advantage of Jiaxing to come to worship his mother. As for military affairs, it is inconvenient for me to intervene.”
The cold flashes in the eyes of the old man, saying: “As your Chu Junhou, how can you easily come to Jiaxing, even if you are not afraid of danger, Emperor Dayong may not be relieved, and if you only worship the dead mother, Why send someone to smuggle the post to Jing’s house. I think you are going to have a break with Jing family this time. If I don’t come today, I’m afraid Jing family will also disappear. A few days ago, the court issued the official document and sentenced the long. You must have known the death penalty?”
My eyes turned and said: “I do know this. This is the last chance. After the Yong army retreats, no one can protect the Jing family. Doesn’t my uncle care about the safety of the people? Besides, Wu Yue will be the battlefield in the future. , The Jing family also finds it difficult to live in Jiaxing.”
The old man sighed: “The homeland is hard to leave, but I also know that there is no choice. Changqing has been discouraged after this matter, so it is not difficult to convince him.”
I had expected this a long time ago. The war between the two countries is imminent. I don’t want to leave my weakness in South Chu. For the Jing family, since I can’t forget it completely, I can only force them to belong to Da Yong. He gave a gentle bow to his uncle and said: “My uncle is so sensible, and Philosopher feels admiration that tomorrow, the Yong Army will purge Jiaxing. All young and strong men and women, scholars and craftsmen, are among the robberies and captives. I have transferred to the responsible general. He will Take care of Jing’s family, and when it is suitable, his uncle can go to Dayong Anju on the boat.”
The old man trembled lightly, and it took a long time to say: “It’s a vicious method to seize the money and food of Wu Yue’s population. It is a pirate method, but it is very effective. Even if I do not agree to submit, you will make people Take Jing clan captive to Dinghai, right?”
Seeing that my uncle saw through my heart, I admired it in my heart, but it was inconvenient to say anything. I just bowed deeply~IndoMTL.com~ The old man sighed slightly, and walked out. I felt sad and back. When he went there, he didn’t want to see his old figure, but he said vigorously in the wind: “Zhe’er don’t have to be embarrassed, you have done your best to the Jing family, thank you for your assistance to Changqing and Shunqing.”
Hearing this, I felt relieved and let go of the big stone in my heart. Finally, Jing’s affairs were handled properly, and I could leave with peace of mind. Facing the tomb of the mother and bowing again, he lingered for a long time, and finally said goodbye.
This time I tried my best to persuade Jiang Haitao to let me go to Jiaxing in person. In addition to wanting to worship my mother, the most important thing is to reconcile with Jing family. After all, Jiaxing Jing family is my mother. There is a possibility of fighting innately. This time I offered a plan to plot Wu Yue and rob the civilians of the family to fill the sea, in order to weaken Nanchu, but I am not going to really mutilate the people of Wu Yue. It is not in line with my temperament and it is not profitable. I have never done it. Secondly, it will also damage the glory of Dayong. After the unification of Jiangnan in the future, the land of Wuyue will inevitably be unwilling to surrender for a long time, so the best way is to select some people from the exiled people of Wuyue. Through their management of the prisoners, in this way, the outside is strict and the inside is lenient, and the folk customs of Wu Yue people are gentle and tolerant, so that it will not cause difficulties in Da Yong’s rule. And such a candidate cannot be chosen easily, and he needs to have the ability to manage internal affairs, so the Jiaxing family has become my choice. Anyone who has no selfish intentions, I am no exception. It’s just that I only talked to Haitao about half of the reason. I came to Jiaxing for other reasons. I just hope that he won’t beat his chest and feet after he gets the report.
