Chapter 11
Although the snow was not heavy, it did not stop overnight. When we woke up the next day, it was covered in snow, as if the whole world had been washed away.
The army of the Zhou Dynasty implemented a guard station system, with guards set up in each state capital. Each guard had several thousand-household stations, and a thousand-household station had several hundred-household stations. The number was determined based on whether the local area was a military hub.
Wen Baihu took charge of a Baihu residence in the southwest of Qingzhou and guarded Qingzhou.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A garrison was usually built as a fortress, and soldiers garrisoned, farmed, and lived according to the fortress.
If something happens, open the door to attack and close the door to defend. Moreover, martial arts are flourishing, not to mention soldiers. If the situation is really urgent, even women and children can take up fighting sticks and go into battle.
The Wen family lives in such a fortress. The Wen family's house is also the largest and tallest in the fortress.
Mrs. Lu got up and asked about Lu Rui, and heard the maid report that Lu Rui had followed the Wen family and his son out early in the morning, saying they were visiting the fortress.
Mrs. Lu rubbed her temples: "I really believed it when they said it was Qingzhou. I thought it was the capital city of Qingzhou, but who knew it was such a rural place."
The maid handed her a cup of warm honey water and said, "Yes, it's not as good as our Zhuangzi in Yuhang. Moisten your throat."
Mrs. Lu moistened her throat and sighed: "The exquisite scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is not comparable to that in the north. I don't know how beautiful it is. If you go out this early in the morning, you can't stand the cold. Is it still snowing?"
The servant woman replied: "The snow has stopped, so it looks pretty good."
Mrs. Lu said: "If you are at home, it's time to perform the drinking ceremony, write two poems, cut a thin plum blossom and put it in a vase, then trace a line drawing and slowly fill in the colors."
The servant girl covered her mouth and said, "Do you think the master here is someone who can grow flowers, grass, and recite poems? Yesterday, I took a few glances, but I didn't see any flower trees, let alone plum blossoms. There were no fruit trees in the yard. There are few, jujube trees, hawthorns, persimmons all available."
Mrs. Lu held her forehead, shook her head and sighed.
The maid approached Mrs. Lu and lowered her voice: "It's okay to let the young master go and have a look. When I come, I will see that the castle is in a mess and there are cow dung everywhere. The young master is such a clean and elegant person. Let him see what the Wen girl is like." What kind of place did she grow up in? It's a good time to consider whether such a girl is worthy of being our young lady."
Mrs. Lu, however, remembered Wen Hui's face with a pointed chin, her eyes as sharp as water, dark and bright, and her face was bright, and she couldn't help but worry.
Lu Rui's age is not the time for young people to grow up and admire Shao Ai.
Wen Hui changed into new clothes today.
The clothes she wore yesterday were only worn for a day, so she would not change them out so quickly as usual, but she changed into new clothes today after Mrs. Wen specifically asked her to do so.
Today, the Wen family troops are divided into two groups. The men took Mr. Lu out, and Mrs. Wen, her mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and her daughter invited Mrs. Lu to the inner courtyard for a talk.
When he arrived, he asked Mrs. Lu to sit on the Kang. Yang and Wen Hui both sat on the brocade stools at the bottom to accompany her. The three of them all looked dignified, waiting for Mrs. Lu to say "business".
Mrs. Pianlu drank tea and tasted some dried fruits, but she only asked: "What do you do for fun in winter like this?"
Mrs. Wen said: "It's nothing. The children run around on horses and have snowball fights. Sometimes there is an arena in the castle, and everyone competes for sticks. How do you pass the time at home?"
Mrs. Lu said: "It's nothing. It's just painting, mixing incense, occasionally enjoying the snow and playing the harp. When I'm bored, I'll play Shuanglu, set up some lucky numbers, and watch the little girls throw pots for fun."
Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Lu smiled at each other, feeling very painful in their hearts - not only were they separated by the south and the north, but they also had different cultural and military backgrounds, their backgrounds were very different, and their interests and hobbies were completely different. They wanted to find someone with the same interests. The topic I almost finished talking about it yesterday.
Fortunately, they are all used to being housewives and have a lot of experience in welcoming and sending guests off, so they changed the topic and talked about the weather and food. They had already mentioned it once yesterday, and they continued to talk about it today. While talking, Mrs. Wen deliberately led the topic to Wen Hui.
"I caught a cold last year, and this child had to cook with her sister-in-law, cooking porridge and making medicine. Finally, I didn't raise her in vain. I know the word filial piety." Mrs. Wen said with a smile, "Now I follow her sister-in-law, and I can help the family up and down, helping a lot."
Mrs. Lu, however, twirled her handkerchief and covered her mouth slightly, and asked: "What does Huiniang's niece like to read on weekdays?"Well, women never leave the house without taking a step forward. How can you be like my wife? What's that called? One woman is in charge, but ten thousand men are not allowed to open it? "
In the past, when Lingshan Guard was just a small flag, Wen Baihu caught up with pirates who came ashore to plunder. There was no man in the family, so Mrs. Wen tied Wen Bo to her back and picked out six or seven pirates with a spear, killing them until they were covered in blood.
Even the adults of the hundred households at that time gave Mrs. Wen a thumbs up when they found out.
?? Later, the hundred households hooked up with the noble man and wanted to follow the noble man to Lintao, and wanted to bring a few confidants with him. Mrs. Wen was originally at odds with her natal family because of Wen Baihu, and Wen Baihu was reluctant to let her leave her hometown again, so she didn't go.
His sworn brother Lao Huo followed with his wife and children. Who knew it would be a point of no return.
Mrs. Wen spat at him, but she kept thinking about Mrs. Lu's attitude and couldn't help but feel worried.
In the guest courtyard, Mrs. Lu complained about her son: "He ran away without saying a word. Firstly, we are not familiar with the terrain of this place, and secondly, we did not bring many guards. What should we do if something happens?"
"It's the son's fault for making the mother worry." Lu Rui admitted his mistake first and then said with a smile, "But this is Uncle Wen's territory, and he knows every plant and tree. All the Wen brothers are good at riding and shooting. , they are all good players, they will never cause anything to happen to me."
In fact, he knew that if he informed his mother in advance, her mother would definitely stop him. Although he is already a scholar, he is still just a boy of fifteen or sixteen. Who doesn't yearn for "the grass is dry and the eagle's eyes are weak, and the snow is gone and the horse's hooves are light". Today, the man of the Wen family took him around, pointing to the distant mountains and forests and saying, "I often go hunting there." He felt itchy in his heart and expressed a few words of yearning. When Wen Baihu heard this, he said, "My nephew is a scholar, but Ever hunted?¡±
He said no, and Wen Baihu slapped his thigh: "How about you give it a try with me? My dear nephew, would you like that?"
He readily agreed. There was no one around to restrain me, so I was really enjoying myself.
Mrs. Lu was displeased: "How could a family of rough people take their children to do such dangerous things without telling their elders?"
Lu Rui's eyes narrowed and he was unhappy: "Mother."
"I got it." Mrs. Lu waved her hand, "You are an adult and you don't want me to care about you. I know, so I was very worried today, and I was trying not to ask Mrs. Wen to call you back. You just have to be considerate of me. This mother is so frightened and worried."
Mrs. Lu sighed: "I really can't talk to Mrs. Wen. She doesn't understand anything. She only knows a few words. She's not blind. Miss Wen has only read three hundred thousand. It's just something you finished reading when you were four years old. I think if you marry such a wife, you won't have to think about the beauty in your sleeves and the harmony between husband and wife."
"That's okay." Lu Rui said, "Just let her learn slowly. There is no limit to learning. Even scholars like me don't dare to say that we have stopped learning. We always live and learn until we are old. Our life is very long." , just take your time."
Mrs. Lu was furious and said: "Her brother and father are both rude and martial men. You will definitely have a lot of displeasure in interacting with their relatives in the future."
Lu Rui said: "Uncle Wen once killed wolves with his bare hands, went to the mountains to suppress bandits, and went to sea to kill thieves. He accumulated military merits to reach 100 households. He was a brave and courageous man. The Wen brothers all have straightforward and heroic temperaments, and they are very different from each other. It was very relaxing and not unpleasant to come and go.¡±
Mrs. Lu said angrily: "You have identified her, right?"
Lu Rui remembered briefly catching a glimpse of Wen Hui during dinner.
Today she is wearing a goose-yellow coat and a bud-green skirt, and her whole body is as delicate as onions. She was staying well by her mother's side, but when he looked over, her eyes suddenly panicked for a moment, like a frightened deer, but she still had to pretend to be calm in front of adults, which was very cute.
The corners of Lu Rui's mouth raised slightly, but then they stopped.
"Mother," he said sternly, "we are here just to get married. This is my father's wish. Since we are destined to get married with the Lu family, mother should not delay it any longer and let's get married tomorrow."
"After all, we are here to get married, not to make enemies."
