Shu Chen

Chapter 72
The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.

Escaping water travels through the row upon row of collapsed rocks, passing people's thoughts and winding eastward.

On the slightly sloping river bank, a wood fire was ignited. Fu Yu and Xiao Zheng Chou were waiting by the side, sometimes turning over the fish steak that the bamboo had passed through, and sometimes bending their heads sideways, taking the blade and smashing the bamboo.

It was the bamboo rice that Zheng Pu taught them to make.

Bamboo sections are taken, cleaned, filled with rice and water, sliced ​​bacon is hidden in it, sealed and placed on a charcoal fire.

When the green bamboo turns yellow and cracks, with a slight burnt smell filling the nose, it will be broken with a knife.

Bamboo is fragrant and elegant, the rice is full and full like freshly peeled lychee, and the bacon is salty and fresh.

Fu Yan and Zheng Chou tasted it a few days ago, and they never forget it.

Come along for a picnic today, naturally, without Zheng Pu's orders, I just took a knife and found a bamboo to get it.

In front of another fire, Qi Ya Cuo slowly walked over and put a long worm that had been peeled and washed into a pottery urn that was set up to cook.

Rice and Snake Soup is an ordinary recipe for the people to eat.

He has become the retinue of the Zheng family, and he will inevitably go to Shu with Zheng Pu in the future.At that time, there will be very few opportunities to spoil the taste of the deceased mother and the deceased wife Suxi.

Zheng Yi, on the other hand, was standing by the river, waiting with bated breath.

On the boulder in front of him, Zheng Pu was sitting cross-legged, holding the fishing rod in one hand, eyes half-closed.

Occasionally, the wrist is suddenly lifted up, causing the long fishing rod to be thrown up.

On the shimmering water, a plump fish was pulled up by silk threads, drawing a graceful arc in mid-air, and with a bang, it just landed on Zheng Yi's side.

In a place where there are few people, these fish will be at ease, not knowing that people are sinister and frequently biting.

It is like this escaping water, spring, summer, autumn and winter, all stick to the original heart, rushing around day and night, and I am neither sad nor happy.Just like a man born in the world, but we should not forget our original intentions, and do not need to worry about the gains and losses.

It is also.

Zheng Pu was relieved that the transfer order had not arrived yet.

The Banzhen Man, led by Jufu, was sent back to Chengdu at the same time as the Prime Minister returned to Chengdu.

When saying goodbye to each other, he faintly revealed that Xu Ma was very honest, and it seemed that the position he had been conferred on the merits of the expedition this time was the deputy governor of the acting prime minister's house, and he was temporarily filling the vacancy.

Even Liu Yin received a transfer order a few days ago, urging the private soldiers to pack their bags and head north to Hanzhong County.

He will serve as deputy general Zhang Bao.

Well, Zhang Bao went to Fuling to recruit troops very smoothly.

Due to the great prestige of his late father Zhang Fei in Badi, and the thought of Jiangzhou Li Yan, who sent his assistants to help him with the thought of caring for his colleagues and younger generations, more than a thousand households of moths and roaches responded, all of whom came with the old and the young. Besieged the recruiting place, claiming that he was willing to join the army, and moved his family to Hanzhong County.

There are more than a thousand works, and the Zhang family can't afford it.

Fortunately, he is a relative.

The Yan family, a local clan, helped him with some money, and he went to the emperor Liu Shan to write a book, claiming that he only had three hundred works, and the rest were all incorporated into the military system of the imperial court, so as to avoid the turmoil caused by the recruitment of troops.

Liu Yin went here and returned to his deputy, naturally both the position and the power have been transferred.

Both Juliu and Liu got their jobs first, and this is also the reason why Zheng Pu suppressed his thoughts and was relieved.

First, it was the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. Since the opening of the government, the laws and regulations have been strict and strict. Those who are loyal and benefit the time will be rewarded, and those who violate the law and neglect will be punished even if they are close to each other.Even the merits of Jufu and Liu Yin were promoted first, and Ma Zhong and Chen Shi jointly promoted them as the first merits of the battle, so the prime minister could not ignore them.

The reason for the delay is because of the powers granted, whether it is conquest or herdsmen.

The other is Jufu and Liu Yin, both of whom were born in the Bashu aristocracy.

Dispatching the two apart, Zheng Pu also thought about it.

It originated from a few letters carried by squire Zheng Yi when he arrived at Nanzhong a few days ago.

One of them was written by Qin Mi.

In the letters, it is generally about homely things, encouraging the younger generation to work diligently and so on.

But at the end, an addition is made.He claimed that the prime minister had a discussion with him before he set out for the Nanzhong expedition, and he also had a meaningful sentence, "Zijin has a strategic mind, and he is talented! At the time of the country's rise, I hope that he will serve more wholeheartedly, Don't turn your attention to family planning."

Graph home plan.
Qin Mi, who has been up and down for many years, deduced that Zheng Pu should not have the idea of ​​starting a family for a few years.

Even if it is needed by the family, if you really want to set up a family of in-laws, don't look for the wealthy family in the land of Bashu.

Combining these words, Zheng Pu said goodbye to Liu and Liu, and he came to a general conclusion in his heart: no accident, the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang would still grant him a military post.The only people who work together will be the Yuan Cong Department or the Jingxiang Department.

This is not suspicion or suppression, but promotion and care—I want Zheng Pu to integrate into the Yuan Cong Clan or the Jingxiang Clan.

If it can go smoothly, Zheng Pu's future delegation of powers will not make the court worry that it is contrary to the national policy of suppressing the Yizhou nobles.

Moreover, if Zheng Pu can be connected with Yizhou, Yuancong, and Jingxiang through his in-laws and colleagues, he will be able to expand his talents and talents better in the future, which will benefit the country.

Therefore, after thinking about this, Zheng Pu also felt at ease.

Waiting for the news is that it is too late for the dispatch order, and the right should be to take a break.

"Lang Jun, all the food is ready, can you eat first?"

Thinking about it, Qi Ya Cuo, who came slowly, and Zheng Yi asked softly.

Zheng Pu looked back, but saw that Fu Yan and Zheng Chou had already placed the grilled fish on the lotus leaf, and more than a dozen bamboo tubes of rice had also taken them out and placed them on the stone to enjoy the coolness, and glanced over expectantly.

"it is good."

With a slight smile, Zheng Pu got up and jumped off the boulder.

Hu Cong Zheng Yi hurried forward, packed up the fishing tackle, and came with him.

After a meal, it was noon, and the sun was burning in the middle of the south, making everyone sleepy and drowsy, hiding under the shade of the trees.

Zheng Pu has no image of a scholar, his hands are pillowed, leaning against the root of a tree, staring at the river with a little white light, just this breeze blows his face, his eyes are blurred, and his eyes are gradually heavy.

But he didn't want to, and Fu Yu, who was next to him, came over and asked softly, "Sir, it's rare to have leisure time. Why don't you have a good time in this situation?"

Huh?
Turning his head to look at him, he smiled gurglingly after seeing Fu Yan holding one hand.

It also made Zheng Pu unable to help but smile.

Among the refined tastes of scholars, such as calligraphy and painting, rhythm, poetry, hand-talking, and objects, Zheng Pu only likes calligraphy and bamboo flute.

Because practicing calligraphy can meditate, and playing the flute can express feelings.

Therefore, in these days in Nanzhong, he tried to practice calligraphy and play the flute to relieve boredom.

As a disciple, Fu Yu became more and more familiar with him, and he saw that Zheng Pu's plan was completely exhausted, and his admiration was even deeper.He was also exaggerated, often copying Zheng Pu's "Skinny Gold Body", and looking for someone to make a bamboo flute, trying to learn its tune.

It is the common feeling of people who have Mu Zunzhang before they are young and undetermined.

Now that I call out the call, I don't need to guess that the hand behind it is holding the bamboo flute.

"Well, take my flute."

Nodding lightly, Zheng Pu supported his body with both hands and sat cross-legged.

After a while, Fu Yan took a flute from his luggage and did not forget to call Zheng Chou.

After handing the flute to Zheng Pu, the two children both held a bamboo flute in their hands, spread a bamboo slip on the ground, and waited for Zheng Pu's flute to play with the score, and controlled it by imitating its tone.

Seeing this, Qi Ya Cuo and Zheng Yi, who were not far away, also held their breath and sat down.

Just like the banzhen barbarians who were in the same camp in the past, looking forward to Zheng Pu's compilation of ancient and modern animal stories after dinner, listening to Zheng Pu's flute is one of the few entertainments for them.

Lightly coughed and cleared his throat, put the bamboo flute to his lips, and Zheng Pu closed his eyes.

The flute sound curled, and he poured out the "Original Landscape of Hometown" that he liked in his heart.

First tactfully and indistinctly, just like coming through the long years.

It sounded like a murmur of a dream language, and it was like the sound of a playful wind passing through the tree-lined path, teasing Zhiya.

Then, it turns to be crisp and soft, and euphemism and clarity coexist.

Suddenly, the voice of agitation rose, and then it disappeared, turning into a melodious continuous, making people have an unknown feeling, which slowly floated in the heart.

Homesickness?

Mu Zhuangzi turned a butterfly evil?

Or, to realize that his ancestors sent mountains and rivers to the evil feelings?

On the other side of the col, more than a dozen people who had come in a hurry, stopped when they heard the sound of the flute.

Looking at the man sitting cross-legged and playing the flute, he listened carefully, and thoughts appeared in his heart.

They are all stubborn and determined, sweat dripping from their faces, and occasionally secretly revealing that murderous look in their eyes.

The first two have light beards and young teeth.

It is also incomparably majestic, all eight feet away, with a ring of first swords on the waist.

"Who is peeping!"

A violent roar tore apart the quiet and melodious sound.

However, it was the beggar house, who had been hunting all the year round and was quite vigilant, and was the first to notice someone coming.

Seeing that they were strong and sharp, they could not help drawing their swords in front of Zheng Pu and sounded a warning.

Zheng Yi also drew his knife and urged in a low voice, "Patriarch, if anyone here has malicious intentions, Qi Ya Cuo and I will entangle them before them, and Patriarch will take the opportunity to take the second kid away first!"

However, Zheng Pu did not panic.

When he opened his eyes, he saw more than ten people who came here. Although they had never met, their armors were all made by the Han army.

If it's a bad guy, it's unlikely.

"Dare to ask, is Zheng Shuzuo under his feet?"

When the group of soldiers saw Zheng Pu and the others on guard, the two of them in the lead waved their entourages back a little, stepped forward side by side, stopped about ten paces away, smiled and asked with hands folded.

This approach also made Zheng Pu and others relieved a lot.

Just as he was about to answer, he didn't want Fu Yan who was beside him. He stepped forward and was full of surprises, "Brother Shao has come to Yelang?!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look back, "Sir, there is one person here that I know. It is the person who banned Huo Ye in the Forbidden City, Xianxiong Shao."

Huo Yi?

Hearing this, Zheng Pu first signaled Qi Yacuo and Zheng Yi to put away their blades, then smiled and returned to talk.

After some talk.Only then did I know that Huo Yi and Zhao Guang were sent by the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to send him to Zheng Pu.

Well, Zheng Pu has relocated.

As the secretary of the prime minister's house, and the general of the teeth, he is no longer under the control of Ma Zhong.

And Huo Yi and Zhao Guang will lead their troops into the army under Zheng Pu's command as their deputy.

However, the relocation did not grant troops.

It was ordered that Zheng Pu, in the name of the imperial court, recruited a soldier and horse to return to the county, and was not subject to the military system of thousands of generals at Yamen.

"For a period of one month, no matter how much or how much, it will be returned to Chengdu's surrender order."

This is the prime minister, who asked Huo and Zhao to tell Zheng Pu the original words.

He also let Zheng Pu listen to it, and his heart was delighted.

How much?

If I recruit troops here, how can I say "widow"? ——
Thanks to the book friend "Li Family 1" for the reward.
