Jinyi Night Walk

The official road to the north of Pingyuan County is very long and flat, and willows are planted on both sides of the road.

But at noon, the sun shot straight down from the sky, and there was no way to hide. If you want to hide in the shade, you don’t even think about it. This kind of weather is not suitable for travel, especially for guests who travel far. When cloth shoes are walking on the road, even the soles will feel hot after a while. If you wear straw sandals, you should be more careful. Once your skin directly touches the ground, it will make you jump up.

Only lunatics would go out at this time, so there was no one on the entire official road.Because of the dryness, the trees and crops on both sides of the road also seemed to be wilted, and occasionally the wind blew, and the forest tops only moved slightly.There was no cloud in the sky, the scorching hot sun hung in the sky, and the scorching sun shone on the ground. Looking from a distance, bursts of steaming, stuffy, scorching heat reflected distorted light.

In this weather, if you catch up with an hour's journey, someone will have heat stroke, but in this weather, there are actually people on the road.There are three people in a group, three riding fast horses, the horses fly like flying, splashing dust all the way.Immediately, the three of them were three postmen, with the word "post" drawn in a circle on their chests, with a letter box on their backs, a small flag on their shoulders, and waving their whips like rain.

"Appreciate~~~"

Turning a corner, a melon field suddenly appeared in front of me. A melon shed was built on the side of the road. A man wearing a straw hat was sitting under the melon shed to enjoy the coolness. He was wearing a Han coat, his arms were bare, and his arms were tanned.Under the tree not far in front, there are several small mats stacked up, and a small table in the middle, with tea on the table.The three postmen had smoke coming from their thirsty throats. Seeing this, they immediately reined in their mounts, dismounted and walked over.

"Three officials, do you want tea or melon?"

"Everything! Pour a bowl of tea first, your throat is almost dry, and then pick a melon. If you want sandy meat, is there any one in the well?"

"Yes, yes, three officials, please sit down first."

The stall owner smiled and invited them to sit under the tree. Sitting vertically under the tree, it was still a bit shady.

The stall owner quickly poured herbal tea for them. The three of them grabbed the big bowl and gulped it down before sitting down on the mat.

A postman said: "Hey, let me tell you. You don't need to worry about it, we will pour the tea ourselves. Quickly pick a melon, and get some well water to drink for the horses!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

The stall owner was so talkative, he hurriedly piled down the big teapot, turned back and walked to the ground, and after a while, he was seen pulling a rope up from the ground and pulling out a large wooden cylinder from the well water.He fished out a watermelon from inside, patted it with his hands, and brought it to the table.

A postman took it, and without waiting for the stall owner to cut it with a knife, he punched it, smashing the overripe watermelon to pieces, and the three of them took a piece each, and then gobbled it up. [This chapter is provided for you by]

The stall owner didn't go to drink the horse right away.Instead, he chatted with them with a smile: "Three officials, it's really hard work. In such a hot day, who would come out for a walk? The three officials should avoid the noon sun."

A postman gnawed on a watermelon, and said vaguely: "That's not true. It's easier for you to make a living as a man? Sigh! Sometimes I really feel that it's better to be a farmer and enjoy myself. But there is no way, This is what I did, not to mention that the sun is too strong, even if I use a knife, I have to rush on my way. We are here to send a memorial to the emperor, understand? Who dares to delay the emperor's errand. "

"Oh oh oh. I understand, I understand!"

The stall owner was greatly awed when he heard this, and another postman said: "Okay, don't talk too much, go and drink the horses for the men. We have to continue on the road later!" Photographed on the table.

The stall owner quickly agreed, turned around and went to lead the horse.

"Ok?"

The postman picked up the watermelon and gnawed two more bites, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Generally speaking, when doing business with officials and family members, he is afraid that the other party will not pay the money. Take it, but run to drink the horse first?

The postman became alert, and immediately spit out the watermelon he had bitten into his mouth, saying, "Don't eat it yet! I'm afraid it's a scam!" As he spoke, he strode out and clasped the stall owner's wrist. The pawn didn't take it seriously, he laughed and said: "I said, fourth, don't be surprised, there are indeed thieves, who will rob us. We men rely on post stations for food and drink all the way, and we don't have a few pennies with us, who will rob us... ..."

Speaking of this, he felt that his tongue was a bit big, as if he had drunk too much, he couldn't help helping the table, hesitantly said: "It's so weird, why should I..."

At this time, the postman who rushed to catch the stall owner had already clasped the stall owner's arm. Unexpectedly, it was hot, the stall owner's arm was sweating, and his hand was also sweating. live.The arm was not clasped, but a hand of paint was clasped. The postman looked at the five white marks on the melon vendor's arm, then looked at his own palm, and said with a stiff tongue: "You...you are not a melon. Vendor..."

Before he could say anything, he fell to the ground and fell asleep. The two postmen staggered and wanted to get up. Halfway through their standing, they sat down on their buttocks and fell on a pile of melon skins. Snoring.

As soon as the three of them fainted, the stall owner smiled, turned his head and whistled, and two people jumped out of a ditch not far from the melon field. The three of them took the burden from the fainted postman, opened the bamboo tube, and examined the official documents one by one. After looking through the memorial for a long time, a person suddenly said excitedly: "I found it, this is what Boss Xia wanted!"

The other two went up to see that it was Prince Zhu Gaochi attaching Song Hu's memorial and pleading guilty to the emperor. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "It's done!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the late afternoon, two more people finally walked on the avenue.

A man and a woman, one left and one right, sticking to the avenues on both sides.

It seems that there is no relationship between them being so far away, but these two people are actually a couple. The husband is called Huang Si, the wife's surname is Miao, and her nickname is Rabbit Mushroom.

The young couple walked like this, obviously disgusted.Young couples, especially those who have just been married, are not prone to conflicts. Conflicts often arise when the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good. These two are angry because of the mother-in-law.

Rabbit Mushroom's mother is not in good health, and the new daughter-in-law has to go back to her natal family to take care of her from time to time, because she walks a bit more frequently, and she has to go back to her natal house today, so the mother-in-law is not happy, thinking that the daughter-in-law's heart is not here.Thinking about her natal family all day long, she couldn't help chattering a few words.The daughter-in-law felt aggrieved, and told her husband that if the husband obeyed her wishes and told her to vent, it would be over, but Huang Si didn't like his daughter-in-law calling his mother, so he stared at her and scolded her.

Probably because it is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and the enlightenment is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Shandong men are particularly filial, among the 24 filial piety in ancient times.Ten of them are from Shandong.You can say anything else, but bullying his old lady is not an option. As a result, the new daughter-in-law, Tugu, received a big blow from her husband.That's why some people say that a lucky woman should be the mother of Shandong men, not the daughter-in-law of Shandong men.But there is also a problem with this statement. If you don’t become the daughter-in-law of a Shandong man, how can you be the mother of a Shandong man?

In fact, although Huang Si scolded his daughter-in-law, he still loved her in his heart.Tugu said a lot to her because of the strange place, but Tugu ignored him at all. If he rushed over to go with his wife, Tugu would hide on the other side, and the couple just went back to their mother's house awkwardly.

Rabbit Mushroom was walking angrily, suddenly screamed "Ah", dodged into the road in a hurry, and almost fell down.

Huang Si was walking on the other side with a burden on a pole.Seeing the situation, Fei also ran over and asked, "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter, are there any long worms?"

Rabbit Mushroom pointed at the back of the tree tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "There is someone. There is someone there!"

As soon as Huang Si heard this, he immediately dropped the burden, took out the shoulder pole, and looked behind the tree vigilantly, only to see three men standing in the shade of the tree, naked, all three men covered their lower bodies with their hands Little birds, one of them opened its mouth and didn't know what to say.

Huang Si saw three hooligans molesting his daughter-in-law.The blood rushed to his head immediately, and he was so angry that his hair stood on end. He couldn't help but rush forward with a pole, and a pole was thrown on the shoulder of a bare-bottomed man.She yelled: "You bastard, how dare you molested my daughter-in-law!"

The man ignored what he said, turned around and fled, Huang Si threw another shoulder pole on his ass, and rushed to catch up with him, beating the three men crying for their father and mother, and fled in a panic, shouting while running: "We are here!" We are officials, we are postmen, we are not indecent to your daughter-in-law, we just want to ask for some clothes to wear..."

These three people playing Luoben are naturally the three postmen.

After they woke up, they found that the horse was gone, and the clothes were gone. They hurriedly checked the most important things: the official letter in the bamboo tube, and found that the bamboo tube had also been opened, and the burden cloth wrapped in the bamboo tube was gone. All the memorials and official letters of the paper were thrown out, blown by the wind, and there were no two left on the spot. After searching for a long time, I only found two pieces of torn paper in a ball in the grass, which had been wiped by someone. , the others already do not know where to go with the wind.

This thief is really too ruthless. The three postmen were wearing clothes, and it happened that Huang Si and his wife arrived.

The three of them were beaten up, and finally they picked up their postman badges from the ground, which convinced Huang Si of their identities.

Two or three miles behind the melon field is Miaojia Village, which is the village of the fourth daughter-in-law's family.Huang Si took his daughter-in-law back and reported the matter to the head of the village, who brought some sets of clothes, and the three postmen were able to meet people.

The three postmen only sent letters, and they knew what the official letters and memorials contained. Now they were all lost, so they had to rush back to the county posthouse, begged for horses, and went back.Those official letters and memorials are still on file in the Department of General Administration and the inner study, so they can only be re-transcribed and sent to Beijing, but it will take a lot of effort to go back and forth.

After this incident, Huang Si and his wife were fulfilled. Seeing her husband's brave and invincible appearance, Tugu felt that his man still loved her very much. Once the resentment was gone, the couple reconciled as before.

However, because of this delay, Emperor Yongle only received the impeachment memorial sent by Chen Ying, "The prince supervises the country, sijiao Xunqi, who is good at issuing imperial edicts and enforcing officials in Xinjiang", but did not receive a single word of explanation from the prince.

Zhu Di endured it for three days. After three days, he still did not see any report from the prince. Zhu Di was very angry, but this time he did not utter a word of reprimand, but only issued an imperial decree: "During the war in Annan, there was another rebellion in the Western Regions. , the crown prince is good at literature but not martial arts, it may be difficult to be comprehensive. That is to say, the king of Han will also serve as the supervisor of the country, and manage military and state affairs with the crown prince!"

I am suffering from a deep headache, and the weather is so hot that I will die. I will take a break and ask for a recommendation ticket! (to be continued)
