Song Dynasty

Chapter 59 Return (recommendation ticket requested)
"At the beginning of Dongting under Ye Xia, I miss you for thousands of miles."

"Lu Lunxiang is cold, and the moon falls on Jin Pingxu."

"If you want to play Jiangnan tunes, I will covet Jibeishu."

"There is no other meaning in the book, but I am sad for a long time away from home."

……

Xiao Guan faintly sounded, and then the woman's leisurely singing came from the other side of the alley that had gone down in silence.It is "Colourful Book Resentment" written by Shangguan Zhaoyi of the Tang Dynasty.

The singing sound is very pleasant, and it is as clean as the clear water in the ditch outside the house, penetrating the heart and soul.However, there is still a hint of Bianyin in it.If the guess is correct, this singer should have fled from Tokyo to Jiankang City during the Jingkang period.With her talent, she should have had a lot of fame in Kaifeng back then. The so-called "Wuling is young and scrambling, and there are countless red silks." I don't know how wonderful her life was back then?

Those were the best years, how much wealth was concentrated in Bianliang, Tokyo, how many first-class people lived in that extremely great city, those were the most brilliant moments of the past, just like festivals in full bloom in the night sky fireworks.

Since entering Jinling City, this woman's singing voice can be heard softly every day at this time.It was dusk, and at the other end of the alley was a small Goulan family, where she would sing a few songs to the guests and exchange some rice coins to get by.

At this time, An Niang would gently put down the needlework in her hands, listen carefully, and then sigh softly.She had also seen that woman on the street before, she seemed to be surnamed Jin, and her facial features were correct, but her face was already wrinkled, showing a weather-beaten look.Seeing that she is only in her early thirties, she doesn't know what she has experienced in the past few years.

In the past era, the singing and dancing in the city of Tokyo, the Bianshui reflecting the lights of thousands of houses, the high wine meeting, and Lianyun Genyue were just like a dream!
Although An Niang has never been to Tokyo, she has heard her father talk about it many times before, and she is fascinated every time.I also thought in my heart that if I live in this world, I have to see it with my own eyes in order to live up to this life.

But everything has passed. I heard from the soldiers of Kaifeng’s left-behind division who were evacuated from Tokyo that Bianliang had been in ruins after several battles, and it was no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

Recently, there are too many soldiers in the city, and the sky is full of Guanzhong dialect and Bianliang and Hebei accents.I heard people say that the north of the river has fallen into the hands of the Jurchens, and there are these tough soldiers left behind in Tokyo, which is at least reassuring.

It's just... just... Dao Si hasn't come back yet, is he... okay?

It's already late autumn, and in a blink of an eye, why the hell hasn't come back after such a long time?

"At the beginning of Dongting under the leaves, I miss you thousands of miles away..." Wanli, more than ten thousand miles, it feels like a world is separated.Waiting, waiting, waiting, from the hot midsummer to the first snowfall, the mountains and rivers are cold, and the shadows are messy.

Probably influenced by the singing, An Niang thought of the sad place, and tears fell in strings, falling on the pair of cloth shoes that had just been finished in her hand.

"This bastard bastard, she's been making so much noise all day long, if my mother keeps on singing, I'll kill you and pull out her tongue!" Yue Yun's angry voice sounded from outside the room.

"Yes, yes, Brother Yun is right. I have seen that thieves woman before. She is so ugly that she makes people want to beat her up."

"Beating people, what's the point of beating a woman, bullying the weak is not a good man. If we want to fight, we have to fight someone stronger than ourselves."

"Yes, yes, if you want to talk about heroes, who can compare to Brother Yun. Just now we beat those soldiers from the Jianghuai Propaganda Department, and that would be fun!" another interjected.

Yue Yun's triumphant voice sounded again: "It's still light to beat him, it really pissed off Grandpa, I can't beat him to death. Thieves and birds, dare to win my money, and don't even look at who I am. Damn, that's my sister Give me money to buy rice."

Hearing their conversation, An Niang felt something was wrong and hurried out of the house.The situation in front of her shocked her, but she saw that the clothes of Yue Yun and the two sergeants had been torn to pieces, and there were still blood stains on their chests, looking very embarrassed.

"Ying Xiang, you are... this is a fight with someone, where did you get hurt?" An Niang stretched out her hand to touch Yue Yun's head with a trembling voice.

Yue Yun, who was in the rebellious stage, tilted his head, raised his eyebrows and said impatiently: "There is no one who can hurt me yet, and those filthy ones need to be dealt with."

"You, you, mother can't be found. Brother Wang hasn't come back yet. You have been causing trouble outside all day, and now you are fighting with the people from the left-behind department. The people in the left-behind department are so easy to mess with. Be careful when they come to your door. Can't you save me some trouble?" An Niang kept complaining, her eyes turned red when she thought of her mother and Wang Shen.

Yes, since arriving in Jinling City.She and her younger brother looked around for news about their mother, but they couldn't find anything.Wang Shen didn't come here again, making her worry about it day and night.Yue Yun, who was born on the sidelines, was a disappointment. After arriving in Jiankang Mansion, he probably couldn't be idle. He mingled with the soldiers of the supply camp all day long, drinking and playing money on the street. All the rewards gained in a battle are lost.In a hurry to lose, he fought with the rogues and soldiers on the street, and was approached several times to make arguments.

In the end, it's not up to Lu Can and Lu Yuhou to pay the gifts and money.

Yue Yun snorted, and widened his eyes: "If you hit me, I will hit you. What are you talking about now? Most of the people in the left-behind department come to the door to seek bad luck for the young master. No matter how high they are, I will be so high. What are you afraid of? Crying Cry, cry, why cry, sister, don’t wait. Now there are Jurchen Tartars to the north of the river, and if you think about it, that person is dead, so let’s find our mother and go back to our hometown to refresh ourselves.”

"Brother Wang is an auspicious person. He won't die. He won't die. Brother, you tell my sister that Brother Wang will come to Jiankang to find us." An Niang's tears finally fell, and she stretched out her hand to grab Yue Yun's face. The arms kept shaking.

Yue Yun: "You didn't marry him, why are you crying... Even if you marry that thief named Wang, you can marry someone else after you become a widow. It's no big deal. Hey, these are the shoes you made for me. Well, my shoe is broken."

"No... not..."

Before An Niang finished speaking, Yue Yun grabbed the shoe from An Niang's hand and put it on her feet.

This set, but can't get in.

It turned out that Yue Yun's feet were ridiculously big, but the shoes were small, with half of his feet exposed.

He immediately understood that these were shoes made by his sister for Wang Shen, and saw his sister crying like that.He didn't know how to persuade him, but there was an evil fire in his heart, and he opened his mouth and cursed: "So it was made for the dead, bah bah, bad luck!"

After finishing speaking, he took off his shoes and threw them outside the courtyard.

At this moment, two people walked in suddenly.

One of them was forty years old, although he was dressed as a military officer, he was extremely elegant, and was carrying Lu Can, Marquis of Yu, while the other had a wrinkled face, dusty face, shabby clothes, and gray hair.

Seeing the shoes being thrown, Lu Can stretched out his hand, and Huo grabbed them with a bang, and looked at the crowd expressionlessly.It took a long time before he slowly said: "Daosi has only been away for more than a month, and the military discipline has been abolished. He only knows to drink outside and cause trouble all day long. Why can't he control you? It seems that only Daosi can hold back You guys, take my military law seriously, and let the king's army envoys rule you later."

Hearing this, the two soldiers who came back with Yue Yun were astounded by electric shocks. They were staring crookedly at the wall to see Anniang and her brother making trouble, but now they jumped up and stood upright: "General Wang! came back?"

Lu Can nodded slowly: "Exactly."

Yue Yun also opened his mouth wide with an "ah", and murmured: "I'm back, so...why did it take me so long to come back, and make sister wait, it's really hateful."

"Brother Wang." An Niang felt that the great river outside Jinling City was turned upside down, and her whole body was covered by that boundless wave of joy.

Her tears finally fell, and she didn't care about the faces of so many people, she asked in a trembling voice: "Lu Yuhou, where is Brother Wang, where is he now, why is there no one, why is there no one?"

The old man with gray hair and wrinkled face suddenly knelt down on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed three times to An Niang: "Madam must be the mistress, the villain Guo Ya kowtowed to you."

An Niang's pretty face was flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly reached out to help her: "Hey, that's not the case... Get up quickly, get up quickly."

That's right, this old man is Lao Guo, Guo Ya.In fact, he is not considered old, he is in his forties and less than fifty.It is probably because people of this age age quickly, and he has experienced countless bloody battles and suffered all the hardships of the world, making him appear extremely vicissitudes.

Old Guo looked up at An Niang suspiciously: "Aren't you madam? The master even asked me to take him across the river first to report safety."

An Niang asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Wang, how is he? What did he... say?"

Lao Guo: "I'll talk about this after I see my wife."

An Niang stomped her feet anxiously: "Just tell me." Her little red face was still covered with crystal tears, she looked really cute, and everyone secretly laughed.

"Oh, so you are Madam." Lao Guo hurriedly said: "The master is still in Jiangpu on the north bank of the river, because he has too many things with him, so he should stay there and let the little one come over and say a word to Madam. .”

An Niang: "What did Brother Wang say?"

Lao Guo: "The master said that the river is under martial law at night, and you won't be able to come here by boat until early tomorrow morning. I really miss the soup cakes made by my wife and want to eat them."

"This person, this person, always wants to eat. If you are so hungry, you must have suffered a lot in the past month." An Niang burst into tears again: "How many things can't be brought here, I have to guard them. I'm going to buy noodles now, and I'll go right away."

Lu Can was also puzzled, and frowned: "Yeah, how many things can he have alone, and he asked me to find ten big boats to pick them up. Jiangbei is in a tight mess, so nothing happens."

An Niang was about to leave, but she stopped worriedly when she heard this.

Seeing his elder sister caring about Wang Shen so much, Yue Yun was suddenly very dissatisfied: "Sister, I'm hungry, go buy noodles and come back to cook, or the rice shop will be closed any later."

Lu Can: "It's okay, I have already asked Gu Lie to bring twenty soldiers to escort the boat across the river, and there will be nothing wrong with them in Daosi."

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go." An Niang wiped her face and went out, and she couldn't walk a few steps, tears fell again: "God is so pitiful, Brother Wang finally came back, but I don't know what he looks like now, How much has I suffered in this month?"

When An Niang went out, Lao Guo also disappeared, put down the burden on his back, and picked up the broom to clean the yard.

"Old Guo, how many things did Wang Shen bring, so many boats are needed to load them, could it be gold, silver, or something?" Yue Yun asked curiously.

Lu Can: "Ying Xiang, don't ask, Lao Guo won't answer. I've asked for a long time before, if he is willing to say it, he will say it sooner."

Lao Guo smiled: "This is Young Master Yun, I heard the master mentioned you, no, aren't you a thin man, why are you so fat?"

"You old guy who doesn't know much, I'm strong." Yue Yun rolled his eyes.

Lao Guo: "The master explained that he wanted to surprise Lu Yuhou."

Lu Yuhou snorted: "What are you doing to surprise me? Wang Daosi has so many famous tricks, it's boring." Probably because he was in a hurry just now, he was a little hot, so he went into the study and poured a cup of light on his own. Tea, ready to drink and go back to the barracks.

Yue Yun followed and shouted: "Yu Hou, what do you say about my affairs?"

"What do you say?" Lu Can looked at him with relief, and said, "It's a good thing to want to join the army! The country is broken, and the country's affairs are already like this. It's the time for our aspiring men to serve the country and the nation. In the past, there were 12 ministers of Ganluo, and you are also [-] years old this year. You are a manly man. You are also skilled in martial arts. I am too happy that you can join the army. But..."

He looked embarrassed: "Your sister is just a younger brother like you. She has no eyes on the battlefield. She will not agree. Besides, this is your family matter, and I, an outsider, can't intervene."

The blood of the God of War Yue Fei flows through Yue Yun's body. Since he experienced a battle in Pingyuan Town last time, the warlike gene in his bones has been revived. Now he only wants to join the army and fight.

Hearing that Lu Can rejected him again, he was immediately annoyed: "My sister has long hair but short knowledge. A certain seven-foot man is locked up in this house all day long, and he will be killed every day. Yuhou, the Tartars will be beaten soon. When we arrive at Jinling, I’ll probably just watch from the sidelines. Zhiniang thief, if you don’t agree to let me join the army, I’ll take my money and send it to other troops.”

Lu Can was shocked: "I can't leave, otherwise how can I explain to Dao Si. That's all right, anyway, Dao Si will be back early tomorrow morning, you can talk to him. If Dao Si speaks, Miss An will definitely nod .”

Yue Yun was overjoyed: "That's a good idea, it's called one thing surrendering one thing, and only the surnamed Wang can subdue my elder sister. Yuhou, you said that if he agrees, I will marry my elder sister to him .”
