Jincheng flower hour

Zhuang Yang jumped off his horse and followed the crowd to dodge. There were more than [-] envoys from Sizhou, and the gorgeous chariots and horses attracted people to watch.In one of the xuan cars sat a familiar person, Liang Yu.From the envoys to the attendants of this group of people from Sizhou, Zhuang Yang looked at them one by one. He was looking for someone.

When the man left, he told himself that he would come back.

There is no Liu Hong in the team of envoys.

At first, when he heard that Sizhou was coming, Zhuang Yang was excited. With expectations, he rode to the gate of the city. In the heat, he squeezed into the crowd to watch.But when the faces of the people in the envoy team passed by one by one until the last one was gone, the excitement and expectation in my heart disappeared, leaving only melancholy and loss.

The emissary team went away, Zhuang Yang stood blankly, the crowd who had been avoiding pushed each other and hurried to leave, a reckless man carrying a log came out from Zhuang Yang's side, seeing that the thick log was about to hit Zhuang Yang, Zhuang Yang was suddenly grabbed by someone, who pulled him to one side to avoid, and at the same time a voice sounded: "Be careful."

This man was very strong, with a broad chest, and a low voice. Zhuang Yang raised his head and saw Du Bandit Yu standing beside him with one hand on his shoulder.

Zhuang Yang's height was only around the ear of Governor Yu, and this man could easily hold Zhuang Yang in his arms.

Zhuang Yang didn't notice when Governor Robber Yu appeared beside him.

He would meet this person from time to time, and because they both worked in the county government, Zhuang Yang didn't think too much about it.The reason why Zhuang Yang didn't think too much was because he was a womanizer.Once, I followed the officials to participate in a banquet in Governor Yu's stolen house, and saw the beautiful dancers raised by Governor Yu who were young and charming, good at singing and dancing.

"Thank you, Supervisor Yu."

Zhuang Yang thanked and saluted, and was about to leave with his horse.

"Yu Jingqi."

The three characters Yudu Pirates uttered were exactly his name.He is the servant of the county guard and is also responsible for the security of the county. Supervising robbers is his job title, but he has a name.

"Zhuang Yang."

Zhuang Yang bowed his hands and left without stopping.

Looking at the handsome figure going away, Du Robber Yu whispered: I know.

He knew that this man was called Zhuang Yushi by his colleagues, and occasionally someone called him Zhuang Lang, what was his name called.Zhuang Yang is as beautiful as this person.

Dudu Pirates paid far more attention to Zhuang Yang than Zhuang Yang knew.

For some time, Zhuang Yang met Du Pirate Yu almost everywhere he went. He met him halfway to the market, and went to visit friends outside the city. On the return trip, he found Pirate Yu riding alone.

Among the pine forests, the mountain road is rugged, a white robe and a black robe, each riding a horse, the two meet under the shade of a tree.

There are bandits outside the city, although this pine forest is not so remote, there are occasional pedestrians passing by.

"I've seen the overseer."

Zhuang Yang got off his horse to salute, raised his head, and found that Du Du was looking at him with a focused gaze, a similar gaze that Zhuang Yang had seen on someone before, it was a kind of love.

"This place is remote, I will protect you back to the city."

The governor of Yu is riding on a horse, with a bow and arrow on his back, and a knife across his waist, looking majestic.

"Thank you."

Zhuang Yang bowed his hands, then rode away, and the city gate was not far ahead.

Along the way, Zhuang Yang never turned his head back, but he knew that Dudu Yu was always following closely behind.This man is heroic and reticent, always carrying swords and arrows on his body, sometimes in a trance, he would think that he is Ah Hong.

After this encounter in the forest, Zhuang Yang made some changes. He went to the county mansion early in the morning, and he took another route; he changed his habit of going to Zhuang Bing's shop in Dongshi at dusk, and changed it to noon.

Sure enough, since then, for many days, he has not encountered Du Du's robber halfway, and the two only meet occasionally in the county mansion.

Until one afternoon, when Zhuang Yang came back from the market, he met the wounded Du Du robber on the road.He was sitting on the ground, his thigh was hurt, and there was a pool of blood on the sand.His face was pale, and he looked at Zhuang Yang with pleading eyes.He was surrounded by a lot of people, but they didn't have a good impression of the patrol team, and no one gave them help.

"Can you mount a horse?"

"can."

Zhuang Yang helped him, and he put his hands on Zhuang Yang's shoulders, and stood up from the ground.

Yu Du's stolen horse did not escape, but stayed not far away.Zhuang Yang brought it over and handed the reins to Dudu Yu.He saw Governor Yu struggling to get on his horse, and cold sweat broke out on his face due to blood loss and pain.

"My house is just ahead, you follow me there."

Zhuang Yang rode ahead to lead, and Du Du robber followed.

Arriving at the Zhuang's house, Ah Yi came to help the robber Yu Du and took him to Zhuang Yang's bedroom.Zhuang Yang skillfully took out the hemostatic medicine and cloth strips from the wooden box.He squatted down to bandage the wound for the robber of the governor, meticulously and attentively.

Governor Yu was obsessed with looking at Zhuang Yang's bowed appearance. He raised his blood-stained hand and secretly touched Zhuang Yang's hair.

"Supervisor, I'll stop the bleeding for you first. You need to find a doctor when you get back. The wound is deep."

Zhuang Yang got up and wiped the blood on his hands patronizingly, not paying attention to the way Du Piu looked at him.The blood was in his fingers, and he couldn't wipe it off. Zhuang Yang turned to wash his hands.He didn't realize that Governor Robber Yu was approaching him, but when he did, Governor Robber Yu had already hugged him from behind.

This is a familiar action, in such a familiar scene.Only then did Zhuang Yang realize that the past between him and Liu Hong had reappeared.Ever since he saw Governor Yu was injured, he probably thought of him as Ah Hong.

Du robber Yu put his face against Zhuang Yang's neck, and he sniffed the breath on Zhuang Yang's collar. Zhuang Yang's panic was only for a moment, Zhuang Yang broke away, and said angrily, "Let go quickly."

The gentle Zhuang Yang seemed to be angry for the first time, and he felt annoyed, and this annoyance and depression already existed and were ignited at this time.

"Zhuang Lang, I..."

Governor Yu backed away, he wanted to say something.

"Ayi."

Zhuang Yang didn't want to listen, so he interrupted Du Bandit Yu's words.

Ah Yi quickly went upstairs, seeing this Du Du robber had no choice but to say goodbye, he was infatuated when he left, and turned his head twice to look at Zhuang Yang in the window on the second floor.

Zhuang Yang closed the window and went to pack the medicine, but his mind was not on these bottles and jars.At one point, he held the medicine bottle and put his hands on the wooden box, and sat there for a long time.The scenes of getting along with Liu Hong in the past, as well as those intimate behaviors, all came to mind, hugging, kissing, and touching each other.

It is useless to think too much, it is useless.

Zhuang Yang calmed down, closed the wooden box, and went to the yard to take care of the flowers and plants.

After this unhappiness, Pirate Yu rarely appeared in front of Zhuang Yang. Although he still looked at Zhuang Yang strangely, Zhuang Yang only treated him as a colleague.

Unconsciously, it is already autumn, and under the circumstances that several counties in Shu were attacked by bandits, the prosperity of Jinguan City is still there.Thanks to the prosperous business in Jinguan City, Zhuang Bing's business is very good, and the food and food of the Zhuang family are much better than those in Zhuli.

Zhuang Ping worshiped a famous Confucian in Jinguan City as his teacher.The Confucianist almost only accepts the children of officials and eunuchs. When Zhuang Yang took Zhuang Ping to the audience, he must have left a very good impression on him, so he made an exception to accept Zhuang Ping as a student.

As a disciple, Zhuang usually lives in the outskirts of the city, serving his master and studying knowledge with his fellow disciples.

Unconsciously Zhuang Ping is 15 years old, he is more calm and prudent, eager to do something.

Among the three brothers, Zhuang Ping looks the most like Zhuang's father, and also has the same temperament.

After coming to Jinguan City, the lives of the Zhuang family's children have changed, whether it is Zhuang Bing, Zhuang Yang, or Zhuang Ping and Zhuang Lan.

Zhuang Lan, who only knows how to play in Zhuli and is carefree, grows up in Jinguan City. She gradually becomes like an ordinary girl, with a few female companions, doing needlework together and taking care of her nephew A Yuan.In her room, bows and arrows are hung on the wall, and short knives are kept in boxes.Zhuang Yang didn't know whether her transformation was good or bad, but she undoubtedly grew up.

Zhuang Yang's salary does not need to supplement the family. Apart from buying books and flowers, most of his expenses are on buying things for his younger siblings.Zhuang Ping's pen and ink utensils, Zhuang Lan's bead ornaments and hair bands.

After ten years in Zhuli, Zhuang's mother no longer knows the outside world, and she is unable to take care of her children. Fortunately, Zhuang Yang is there.

In winter, the courtyard of the dealer's house is still full of flowers and trees, and Zhuang Yang rests at home and is busy in the courtyard.As the new year approached, Zhuang Ping also returned from the outskirts of the city, preparing to celebrate the New Year at home.

After the new year, Zhuang Ping will be 16 years old, and Zhuang Lan will be 15 years old, they will be considered as adults.

Zhuang Yang used a bamboo broom and dustpan to clean up the dead leaves in the courtyard. Occasionally, he raised his head to look at Zhuang Ping who was studying in the hall, Zhuang Lan and his nephew A Yuan in Zhulan on the second floor.

Just thinking about the year in Jinguan City, passing it peacefully, suddenly heard the servant Chang Yi yelling at the courtyard gate: "Erlang, there is a countryman who wants to see you."

Chang Yi is a rough person who doesn't understand etiquette.

The Zhuang family is in Jinguan City, and they don't have any relatives and friends in the countryside. Zhuang Bing's friends are mostly merchants; Zhuang Yang's and Zhuang Ping's friends are mostly literati.

This is a rather strange thing, Zhuang Yang put down the broom, straightened his clothes, and rushed towards the gate of the courtyard.He saw a tall, thin man in rags.At the first glance, Zhuang Yang didn't dare to recognize it, but at the second glance, he was sure.

"Dachun, why did you come to Jinguan City?"

"come on in!"

Zhuang Yang dragged Dachun into the courtyard, and Dachun seemed cautious.

"Erlang, I..."

Dachun hesitated to speak.Looking at his appearance, Zhuang Yang also knew that something happened to him. If there were no accidents, Dachun's family was in Zhuli, which was considered a passable family, and he would not have to leave his hometown in rags.

"You've been walking all the way. It's cold and windy. Get inside soon. What's the matter? I'll talk about it later."

Zhuang Yang brought Dachun into the house, and called Ah Yi to get clothes for Dachun to change.

Dachun is someone familiar to the Zhuang family's children, Zhuang Ping came out to receive him, and Zhuang Lan secretly visited.Zhuang Yang went to the kitchen and told Ah Yuan to heat up the food and serve it quickly.

After Dachun changed into warm clothes and had a full meal, Zhuang Yang asked him about Zhuli.

Soon after Zhuang's family left Zhuli, Uncle Zhuang Yang's family moved to Linqiong County. After that, many Zhuli residents also moved away.There is no other reason, Feng Township has become a den of thieves, and the people in Zhuli are deeply harassed by bandits.

In winter, a group of bandits went to Zhuli to loot. Father Chun died of injuries due to fighting with the bandits. Dachun's mother died in his early years. Fortunately, he was married in autumn and had a wife. Otherwise, he would be alone in this world.

"Dachun, where is your wife?"

Zhuang Yang felt that it was impossible for Dachun to leave his wife alone in the bamboo.

"She asked me to sell her. I really can't bear it. She is sick and bedridden, and she is at Taiyi Temple."

There were tears in Dachun's eyes, his complexion was yellow and sick, obviously her wife was also sick from the cold.

"Ayi, if you drive Dachun over there, be sure to bring someone with you."

Hearing this, Zhuang Yang couldn't sit still, and immediately sent Ah Yi to drive the carriage out.

"Thank you Jiro."

Dachun thanked him and was supported by Zhuang Yang.

Thinking that he was really desperate, he came to the banker for help.Dachun in Zhuli is also a top-notch figure among many young and strong people. If he doesn't want to be reduced to such a situation, the lives of other people in Zhuli are also displaced.

Soon, Ah Yi brought Dachun's wife, who was dying of illness.Zhuang Yang invited a doctor to see a doctor for his husband and wife. He fell ill due to hunger and cold, and he recovered after a few days of recuperation at the Zhuang's house.Both Dachun and his wife Ayan were taken in by the dealer.Dachun went to help in Zhuang Bing's shop, and Ayan helped in Zhuang's house. Both husband and wife are very diligent.

By spring, the news that Fengxiang, Luoxiang and other places had fallen to the hands of bandits had spread to Jinguan City.These bandits raised a banner to rebel, and they were all locals, familiar with the mountains and forests. They would hide when officers and soldiers came, and it was extremely difficult to destroy them.

Zhuang Yang cherishes the peaceful life in Jinguan City, and is very glad that he left Zhuli at that time.The former homeland no longer exists, and the mansion in Zhuli may have been burned to ashes by the flames of war.

There were internal and external troubles in Shu. In the spring, news came that the king of Shu was going to marry Liu Yu, the king of Han.There were internal and external troubles in Shu. In the spring, news came that the king of Shu was going to marry Liu Yu, the king of Han.Liu Yu wiped out the remaining forces of the Xin Dynasty last winter, abolished the Xinwang, unified the Central Plains, and established the Han Dynasty.Zhuang Yang heard this news from General Wei's house, and it came from Zhou Jing.

If other people said this, Zhuang Yang might still be wondering, is it true or not?Is it a rumor?

How could Mr. Zhou's words be untrue?

Soon, the welcoming team from the Han Kingdom entered Jinguan City.

It was a season when camellias were in full bloom. Zhuang Yang rode his horse to the city gate. He looked at the Hanwang's envoy team again. This time, he didn't want to see that familiar face, he didn't expect to see it.However, among the two leading Xuan cars, Liu Hong was sitting in one of them.

Liu Hong has changed a lot, but Zhuang Yang still recognizes him at a glance.

He was wearing a black brocade robe, a sword around his waist, and a military officer's crown on his head.It has a big black crown, with pheasant tails on the left and right, and long green ribbons hanging behind the ears.Dressed like this, Liu Hong is handsome and dignified, heroic, and possesses an extraordinary spirit.

Not only Zhuang Yang's eyes fell on Liu Hong, but many people were also looking at him.People talked about it excitedly, saying that the daughter of the king of Shu would not lose money by marrying such a son.
