After he contracted the disease of sexual intercourse, he was tormented by this unspeakable privacy every day; and after seeing Yue Pengju and Hua Rong get married, the husband and wife get along like a fish in water, and there was a layer of jealousy lurking in his heart; now he heard this sunny day Thunderbolt, I was speechless for a long time.
After all, I still have some friendship with Hua Rong. After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel pity for her, as if she was a fellow sufferer. After being silent for a long time, he said: "Even so, let's summon her. Yue Pengju refused to resign." ; But give him a year's leave and let him take his wife to seek medical treatment and preventive medicine... "
The so-called seeking medical advice and medicine are naturally words of comfort; but Xu Caizhi and others really couldn't bear that a talent like Yue Pengju would wither away. They were overjoyed to hear the emperor's arrangement and immediately ordered him to pass on the emperor's new decree.
The border of Jin Kingdom.
A fast horse galloped against the scorching afternoon sun.
The man on the horse was wearing a big tattered straw hat, with a pair of leopard-like eyes, showing a terrifying blood red color. It was originally a three-day journey, but he arrived in one day. His chest was so tight that he didn't know where the pain was. All I knew was that I had to run down in one breath, as if my chest would burst if I stopped.
In the past three days, he only robbed a small official of the Jin Kingdom who came out to hunt, and killed two or three of his guards. However, the money and water were not abundant. He carried more than ten taels of silver, which was barely enough for food and drink.
But now he lost interest in eating and drinking.
Along the way, there were marks left by Ma Su, Liu Wu and others. They estimated that he must have never returned to the sea. As soon as he saw it, he understood that these two men had gone back to Yanjing.
On this trip, he wanted to find two people and go to Beijing together.
The horse galloped for several more hours, and by evening, we had arrived in Yanjing.
He looked for signs along the way and stopped in front of a noisy small shop. The shop was bustling with people and filled with smoke and smoke, and there were concentrated business travelers traveling from south to north, drunken gamblers, and even some criminal thieves.
He whistled softly and saw two men dressed as Khitans, one on the left and one on the right, casually emerging from a crowded crowd of gamblers. It was Ma Su and Liu Wu.
The two waited for a long time and searched almost every corner around Yanjing, but there was no sign of King Qin. They were depressed and discussing whether it was time to leave, but they saw King Qin coming back. The three of them met each other, and they were overjoyed. Say more.
Sitting down in a small pavilion on the second floor, King Qin saw a Jurchen man next to him. He glared and Ma Su hurriedly said: "This is Zhahe. He is also looking for his wife's whereabouts..."
When King Qin heard the word "ma'am", he felt so many emotions in his heart that he couldn't express it. He just shook his head vigorously, as if to shake something off, and stared at Zhahe: "What are you doing with her?"
"I'm worried about my little brother's safety."
King Qin let out a long sigh, and according to his usual temper, he had already thrown the "golden dog" from the second floor. However, at this time, he felt a bit like "the same fallen person from the end of the world" and just stared at him. He glanced at it and suddenly said: "Tie it up, you know how to pick your hair, or do you braid it?"
"ah?"
He looked at his tied head. It was the typical braid of a Jurchen man, with half of his head bald.
"Shave my hair and braid it to make me look like you..."
Zhahe whispered: "King Qin, are you going to join our Kingdom of Jin?"
At this time, King Qin only knew a few words of Jurchen and could only have simple conversations. He couldn't understand what Zhahe said. He looked at Ma Su in a blink of an eye. Ma Su also had a look of surprise on his face and translated Zhahe's meaning to He listens.
King Qin heard this and spat at him: "Fuck you... who will join your golden dog..."
Naturally, Ma Su would not translate this sentence to Zhahe, who was also at a loss. He just looked at Liu Wu, even more surprised.
Ma Su and Liu Wu were surprised for a reason. Although they were born "Han children", Ma Su's family background was from a noble family. He was not only proficient in Jin Dynasty writings, but also familiar with the history books of the Southern Dynasties. He was well aware of etiquette and etiquette. This is so important. When his father was alive, he would sometimes talk to himself when he was drunk, saying that he had lost the "integrity" of Song people.
That is, after many Song people were captured, Jin soldiers often required them to be "modified". The so-called modification, in addition to being replaced by Jin people to serve, focused on "hair". Han people had full hair, and Jin people always had to shave it off according to custom. Half hair and half bald. Although women are not bald, men also wear long braids. In order to maintain their integrity, some Han people were unwilling to "shave their hair and braid it" and were killed for this reason. Therefore, there is a saying of "leave your hair but not your head; leave your hair but not your head". It is said that Hua Rong was caught by Jin Wushu in Jinying of Liujiasi Temple and asked to "change clothes".
Later, the ancestors of the Jin people, the Manchu cavalry, sent troops into the pass, and pushed this cruel slavery policy of "hair" and "human heads" to the extreme. Naturally, this is a later story and has nothing to do with this article, so I won't mention it further. .
This is not just a matter of hair, but a matter of the Jurchens' complete spiritual destruction and domination of the Han people. Ma Su and others understood this meaning, and were really surprised when they saw that the King of Qin actually wanted to "shave" his hair for no reason. One can imagine.
"King?"
Just as Ma Su was about to persuade, King Qin waved his hand and said impatiently: "If you shave your hair, it will grow again. I don't care about the rules of you Confucian scholars. Integrity is the most important thing. What's the matter with your hair? Besides, I want to Just shave, and grow as long as you want... We are going to Beijing, so we must not expose our whereabouts... "
He lowered his voice and said it in a Chinese dialect. Naturally, Zhahe couldn't understand it. Ma Su had to think carefully before he could understand. Only then did he realize that he was completely disguising himself as a "golden man" in order to cover up his whereabouts. .In this case, the two of them had to "shave their heads" to accompany him.
Ma Su was shocked: "Your Majesty, why are you going to the capital?"
"Stealing the old wolf master's thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."
Ma Su and Liu Wu looked at each other in confusion. How tightly guarded was the Wolf Lord's palace? How can we go whenever we want and come whenever we want
While hesitating, he suddenly heard a cry coming from the next door. It was a woman. Everyone was in a bad mood, so they were surprised when they heard the cry.
Everyone was speechless for a while. After a while, they saw a woman coming out in a hurry, followed by a drunkard who was chasing after her. He stretched out his hand to hold her.
The woman's face was full of anger, and she pushed a bag of money to him: "Don't come to me again, for the sake of our children, otherwise, if the Fourth Prince finds out, we will all be finished..."
The man's voice was also very anxious: "Ling'er, come with me, I don't want any money... Let's find a place where no one will recognize us... "
The woman was even more angry. She pushed his hand away and held her hand: "Can I leave? My father is still counting on me and our children to make him suffer poverty all his life?"
"Ling'er..."
The man couldn't argue, and the woman turned around and left. The man was dejected and didn't dare to pursue her anymore. He looked at the money in his hand, ran down the stairs, and immediately joined the chaotic drunken gambling crowd in front of her.
The woman was dressed in casual clothes and wore a big headscarf. Although she was very cleverly disguised, Zhahe could still recognize her at a glance. She was Yelu Guanyin. "Ling'er" was probably her nickname.
Ma Su and Liu Wu had long heard this Khitan man surnamed Pang boasting about "playing with the fourth prince's woman" when he was drunk. No one was surprised. Seeing that King Qin didn't care at all, Ma Su said: "This is the fourth prince's woman." Wife, you are stealing someone outside."
King Qin glared: "The fourth prince stole someone, why doesn't his wife steal someone?"
He entangled Hua Rong because of Jin Wushu, and he hated Jin Wushu very much. He never killed Jin Wushu at sea, and when he arrived in the Kingdom of Jin, he was almost killed or wounded by Jin Wushu. It can be said that he hated Jin Wushu deeply.
But seeing his wife stealing from someone else is none of his family's business. Even if Jin Wushu gets a hundred "cheap" sons, that's his family's business.
Ma Su laughed loudly: "The fourth prince is so hateful. We are empty, so we might as well be a cuckold and give it to him. The golden dog is afraid of the heat, so let him shield himself from the sun..."
"Haha, what a wonderful idea..." King Qin originally didn't care about cuckolds or black hats, but he heard that Jin Wushu could be played with, so he naturally agreed, but soon frowned: "I don't have time to play tricks on him. I'll wait for the Ganoderma lucidum to be obtained." Say it again."
"Forget it, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will naturally play tricks on him. Let's see if this guy can still show off his power..."
King Qin had no intention of talking about Jin Wushu's past as a turtle. He only stared at Zhahe: "Hey, Zhahe, how do you shave your head?"
When he asked, everyone remembered the "head shaving" issue that had been interrupted due to the Yelu Guanyin incident.
Zhahe said: "It's very simple, I can shave it for you right away."
Ma Su hesitated for a moment, but when King Qin saw that he didn't respond, he got angry: "Damn it, why are you so coy? It's not a big deal to shave your hair. Doesn't it make your hair grow longer? You two should follow suit. I shaved it off together..."
Ma Su and Liu Wu knew his temperament and did not dare to disobey him any more. They considered that if they wanted to go to Shangjing, it was necessary to shave their heads, because there were more mixed races in Shangjing than in Yanjing, and almost all of them were Jurchens. If they did not pretend, It's easy to reveal your identity during daily walks.
Ma Su told Zha Heyi what he meant and asked him not to reveal it. When Zha Heyi heard this, he asked directly: "What are you going to do?"
Ma Su knew that he was looking for Hua Rong every day and even hoped to meet Hua Rong on the street. He guessed his mentality and said, "My little brother is seriously injured. We must go to Beijing to find medicinal materials. You have to keep it secret..."
"Ah? How seriously injured is my little brother? Where is she?"
Ma Su said a few perfunctory words, and Zhahe immediately said: "Then I will go to Shangjing with you. I have stayed in Shangjing for a year, and I may be able to help you."
Ma Su and Liu Wu exchanged glances. The two of them had been getting along with Zhahe these days, and they also felt that this Jurchen low-class soldier was honest and loyal. It might be easier to do things with him. Ma Su told the King of Qin what he meant. As soon as he said this, King Qin glared at him and expressed no doubt.
Ma Su immediately told Zhahe that King Qin agreed. Zhahe was very happy: "Then I will shave your heads."
Everyone came to Zhahe's residence.
Zhahe's "home" is completely a "doghouse". According to Jurchen customs, the house is made of birch bark, wooden boards and mud. A small window is open. To close the window, you need to stuff a handful of withered grass. .
As soon as he entered, the inside was completely smoky and messy, with no place to put his feet. There was only a fox skin placed on the earthen bed, which served as his "quilt".
King Qin kicked away the fox skin and sat cross-legged on the kang: "Shave me first."
Zhahe brought a knife and a tattered mirror.
The sword rose and fell, and the King of Qin was completely calm. He didn't study and knew nothing about Confucian theory. He felt that his hair was just like nails and clothes, so he shaved it and cut it as he pleased. In order to go to Beijing to steal Ganoderma lucidum, let alone pretending to be a Jurchen, even if he immediately shaved his head into a monk's head, He doesn't care either.
After a while, he shaved him and tied the remaining hair into braids. Because he had a tall figure and a strong appearance, as long as he didn't speak, he looked like an out-and-out Jurchen. A man.
Zhahe gave him a mirror: "King Qin, take a look..."
The mirror was homemade by the Jurchens. It was very crude and the image was blurry. King Qin took a casual look and saw that he suddenly turned into a semi-bald man. He was also startled and said to himself: "Damn, these golden dogs are dragging a pig." The tail is really ugly..."
Fortunately, Zhahe couldn't understand what he was scolding, and he was very happy and found it very novel that he actually shaved the heads of several Han people.
King Qin threw away the mirror, got down from the kang, and sat on an earthen stool outside. He watched people from distant lands coming and going, and he didn't know what it was like.
From the sea to Kaifeng, from Liujiasi to the Kingdom of Jin, from full of hope, expectation, and joy to jealousy and revenge... Now, it has become a strange sadness. For the first time, I really asked myself: What should I do? Is it good for the girl
After traveling thousands of miles, can Ganoderma lucidum be obtained? Girl, can you still support yourself until you go back
He looked at the sky in the south and realized that midsummer was already halfway over. The fifth day of August was the girl’s birthday. He felt great enthusiasm and excitement in his heart, so he just said to himself: "Girl, I didn’t treat you right." It’s better, I must give you a birthday this time.”
