The honest businessman and his little wife

After leaving without saying anything, the sky was already dawning.

Zhang Fugui lay on the bed and closed his eyes.Some things, somewhere, he should have known.

The winter in the north is extremely cold, and the wind blows through the grass.Southern sergeants had absolutely no head start in this weather.On the battlefield in December, one night passed, the ground was covered with snow, ice crystals formed on the weapons in front of the door, and the breath turned into frost.

Zhang Fugui fluttered, and when he arrived at the pavilion on the battlefield, he really saw the "one-character pavilion" engraved on the pavilion. Standing in the pavilion, he looked at the snow-covered world in front of him.

This battle has dragged on for too long, costing people and money.The weather is bad, the supply is insufficient in the later stage, the food and grass are not enough, and the soldiers' battle uniforms are too thin.

They are all waiting for supplies from the court.

The young emperor wrote a letter himself, saying that the grain and grass were on the way and would arrive soon.The morale of the army was greatly shaken, and the chaos was finally put down fifteen days after the arrival of the food and grass.

This war launched by the remnants of the Northern Yan King under the slogan of restoration gathered the remaining forces of the princes from all over the country, recruited troops and bought horses, kept a low profile and became a frightening force. The bravest young general led his troops to fight In the past six months, you pull me, you retreat and I advance, and the curtain came to an end on the eve of the Spring Festival.

The war is won.However, the bravest general in the world lost his life in this battle.

On that day, the army finally won a complete victory, the general decided not to stay, and returned to the court immediately.

The baby in the family is going to get married in three days, and he wants to watch the girl put on the red wedding dress with his own eyes.He wants to send her hand to another man who is unparalleled in the world, and he wants to use the title of the ever-victorious general to back her up... He wants to give her the world as a dowry.

At night, the sergeant escorting the supplies took a jug of wine and entered the general's tent.The sergeant was dressed in black and had black hair, his eyes were firm and immovable. He said: "I asked me to bring wine, saying that you brewed it together. You must drink it after winning the battle."

Zhang Fugui walked through the tent and watched them sitting on the couch drinking.

The general smiled slightly after drinking, and a red and green magpie stood on his shoulder.

He said softly and softly: "This girl must have forgotten me a long time ago. It is definitely not her intention to ask me to drink." Armored, still elegant and coquettish, he said: "My sister at home wants to marry, I will be I'm really worried..."

They got drunk that night.

They died that night.

Die from that jug of wine.

After drinking for three rounds, the sergeant suddenly had an unbearable abdominal pain, and then vomited blood. He swept down the jug and cup with one hand, and spit out two words from his seldom opened mouth: "Toxic."

The general suffered from abdominal pains, and bright red blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.The magpie, which was taking a nap on its shoulders, also flapped its wings and wept hoarsely.

The young man covered his stomach, seeing that the general looked like he was poisoned, he hurried out of the tent.

"Qingmu, don't go... There is no solution to the crane cloud, if you hit it, you will definitely die." The general did not change his manner, his voice was still warm and moist.

With tears in his eyes, the sergeant said, "You don't want her to know it's because of the booze."

He was asking him, but his tone was clear.

The general nodded.He stroked and comforted the restless magpie, his eyes filled with tears, and he murmured: "Wine is the meaning of the emperor. He wants me to die before he is willing to marry her. That baby who can't speak, has no brother." What should I do?"

The magpie flew out from under his hand, flew low, and left the tent.The sergeant also closed his eyes.

The general only caressed the warm jade around his waist, and said softly: "I entrust all my spiritual power to you. I only hope that when you are formed, you can protect the little sister at home and take care of the magpies and birds."

After finishing speaking, he held a sharp arrow in his hand and pierced it into his chest.

Zhang Fugui was anxious and wanted to stop them, but his hands couldn't touch them.That general, that elder brother, even if he died, he couldn't worry about the baby he raised.In order not to let the doll blame himself, he had to pretend to be shot by someone else.

Calculating every step of the way, but forgetting alone, He Yun, Zhong Zhi, his flesh is rotten, his nails are black, no matter how ignorant and incompetent that doll is, how can she not know?

Sooner or later, the jade in the general's hand rose up in a puff of smoke, and he turned into a clean man, with spotless white clothes, looking at the dying man with his calm eyes.

The general vomited blood, smiled at him, and said, "There is a big businessman named Xie in Suzhou, who made a storehouse of rice and grain, and now I give you your name, thank you Su, and I will give you millions of dollars."

He repeated intermittently, refused to close his eyes, and only said: "Take care of them, protect the word."

they?His doll, his magpie, his treasures, all of him.

Xie Su only looked at him deeply, nodded, and responded one by one with blinking eyes.The man finally smiled, looked at the magpie that flew back with a claw full of herbs, tenderly, nostalgic, and closed his eyes.

The magpie rubbed its head against the man's chin, jumping up and down anxiously on his body, but the man didn't open his eyes.

That night in the Northland, the biting ice and snow fell, the sharp cold wind hurt people's skin, and the cold wind made people cry.Everyone heard the roar that shook the world, sharp and ear-piercing, the thin and small magpie roared, unwilling and painful.

Wake up, it's dinner time.The businessman wiped his face and his hands were wet.

So it turned out that Xie Su was not the general in green cloth clothes he thought of.He just entrusted all the general's spiritual knowledge, jade.

In the dream, Zhang Fugui had been to the delicate and beautiful garden, and saw the man in the green cloth who was holding his sister, so refined and elegant, unique in the world.That's the general.

In the old land of Beiyan, I saw the man in white in the pavilion, as handsome and elegant as the green cloth clothes, this is the general's jade.The young general has a younger sister named Huan Yizi, who will be married three days later.The young general entrusted his reluctance and worries to the jade, and when the jade took shape, it was Xie Su.

He had an extremely strong premonition that the round-eyed man at the foot of Nine Yi Mountain was probably waiting for the young general...

The honest businessman was confused, and finally cleared his mind, but his heart was cold and he felt very inferior.It turned out that in the heart of his sweetheart lived a gentle, refined, handsome hero and general.

Right now, he was eager to see the round-eyed man at the foot of Nine Yi Mountain, and he felt uneasy and extremely anxious, and there was a wave of qi going back and forth in his body, which eventually stagnated in his heart.

Tonight, Weiyan did not come again.

The businessman lay on the bed and looked at the jug on the table. It was a slightly better bamboo leaf green he bought from Boss Chen next door.

The next day, the caravan was heading back.

It has been more than [-] days since I came out, and the middle of July has dragged on to September. I think the durian tree in the yard of the Niao Tea Shop in Xilai should also bear fruit.The businessman took the fodder and was feeding the horse, when the reddish-brown horse suddenly raised its front hooves and roared towards the sky.The businessman turns back.He saw the young man in red looking at the horse with peach blossom eyes.

He pulled it away without saying a word, and only said: "I'm going back... Maybe I won't be able to hear your story in the future."

He also said: "I bought a lot of Zhuyeqing from someone else and left it for you in the house."

Weiyan opened the merchant's hand, bent the corner of his mouth, and teased, "Who cares that you listen to my story..."

He squinted his eyes again and said, "Coincidentally, I'm going back to the south too, so I happen to be on the way with you."

The businessman frowned, his eyes full of confusion, and he asked blankly, "Didn't you say you were trapped in the sand? Why did you come out again?"

Weiyan Taohua's eyes were stained with sadness, and he muttered to himself: "The person who trapped me is gone, so of course I will come out."

The businessman nodded, and smiled naively: "Then you go with us. When you get to the south, you can go to Shi En. He will definitely like you very much." There was actually pride in his tone.

The caravan headed south with the purchased goods.Among a group of rough men in black and gray clothes, there stood a seductive and beautiful young man in red, who was very eye-catching.

Fortunately, the caravan is full of big bosses, and no one has asked about the origin of Weiyan in detail, and seeing that he is beautiful, cheerful and easy to get along with, he has already become a hit with the people in his company.

Every time the honest businessman looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and smiled teasingly, he would think of the boy in Jiuyi Mountain.

I really miss him.

Jiuyi Mountain in September is the most pleasing, the wind is blowing and the clouds are moving, the sun is no longer as hot as before, the red maple leaves are embedded in the old green trees, and the shrimp and crabs in the Jiuyi River are also plump. , eating fruit on the fruit trees is even more inexhaustible, and even the birds seem to go there more. In the world, plants, animals, trees, birds and insects are a very lively season.

Bypassing the Qinling Mountains, crossing the Huaihe River, and walking for half a day, we arrived at the town. The honest businessman asked blankly where he was going.

The young man in red hung his peach blossom eyes and said coldly: "You are a stingy businessman, you really value profits over righteousness, I am going to the town of Jiuyi Mountain, are you driving me away? Are you afraid that I will lose your money? ?”

The businessman didn't think so when he heard the words, he just smiled naively, took the bag from the young man in red, and walked forward dully.

At the end of September, Zhang Fugui returned to the town with his boy and a cart full of miscellaneous things, and beside him was a handsome young man who looked around and looked like he had never seen the world.

At night, Zhang Fugui couldn't wait to go home, so he left his boy and Weiyan in the city, and drove home along the Jiuyi River by himself.

The Jiuyi Mountain at night was still terrifying. Looking at the moon in the sky, he remembered the first time he met Chen Shien, and the red lantern that the man hung, which guided him out of the mist and back home.

From the acquaintances after that, he, a simple businessman, really tried his best to please the man with round eyes.When his dimples appeared, he was happy, and when he frowned, dark clouds covered his head.

He thought again, when did he fall in love with that person?The first time he saw that person suddenly appeared in his mind, he was reading a book, there was warm tea on the table, he was Zhilan Yushu, refined and elegant.He also thought of that person's mischievous, eccentric, and gluttonous behavior in the relationship since then.

Then he thought, he likes that person no matter what he looks like.

The businessman's mind was twisted and turned, all because of that one person.When I met him once, my thoughts abounded.

The businessman walked faster and faster, sweating in the cool wind.We are getting closer and closer to the town, but we can't see the red lantern that is always on.His heart skipped a beat.The firewood door of Xiniao Tea House was closed tightly, and the lights in the room were not turned on.

Is Chen Shien not here?Where did he go?Another thought, it's getting late, or has he already gone to bed?

The businessman clutched the northern jasper teacup he brought to Chen Shien in his arms, leaned against the door of the tea shop and fell asleep.
