Gongsun Xun was a little drunk, and he couldn't tell whether he was really drunk or fake. He walked slowly to the backyard, only to see his long-awaited wife sitting on a railing under the eaves of the backyard, looking up at the stars.

.

"Ah Yun is really in a good mood." Gongsun Xun strolled over and waved away the maid who was standing behind his wife. Then he bent down and hugged her. "The summer breeze is gentle and the stars are bright. It's really beautiful."

Zhao Yun didn't look back, just stared at the Milky Way above her head and said frankly: "I'm not looking at the bright Milky Way, I'm looking at two of the stars..."

"Let me guess," Gongsun Xun sat sideways next to his wife, and then joked. "Could it be the two stars of Altair and Weaver Girl?"

The story of Altair and Vega had its prototype as early as the Book of Songs. By this time, the story was even more complete. It probably completely personified Altair and Vega as a couple, and then created a galaxy to bring the couple together.

People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are separated and only meet each other on the Chinese Valentine's Day. Therefore, a traditional festival was born - the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Then, a large number of customs and habits were derived in various places, to name a few.

"Of course..." Zhao Yun still looked up at the starry sky, but her voice couldn't help but be a little panicked, because her husband suddenly put his nose to her neck.

"Is Ayun specializing in incense?" Gongsun Xun asked after taking a deep breath. "Do you want to imitate the custom of burning incense in order to have a child before the Chinese Valentine's Day?"

"No, it's nothing." Zhao Yun's face turned slightly red under the Milky Way, but she tried her best to deny it.

"This outfit is also very strange," Gongsun Xun suddenly tugged on the other party's purple top. "Where can anyone wear such clothes at home?"

"Isn't this..." Mrs. Zhao finally couldn't bear it anymore. "Isn't this the Zhao style that you like?"

"Let's not talk about the styles of the Zhao Kingdom," Gongsun Xun finally smiled as he hugged his wife. "Let's continue to talk about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The customs and stories are different in different places. I don't know if the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in Qinghe, Ayun, is different from ours in Liaoxi

What is the difference?"

"It's not different, right?" Although Zhao Yun was dissatisfied with the other party's abrupt change of topic, she was able to 'understand' it after all, so she took advantage of the situation and told the story she had heard since childhood.

"Is that so?" Gongsun Xun said indifferently after hearing this. "The Hedong Weaver Girl is the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven. She married the Hexi Morning Cowherd. After the marriage, the Weaver Girl wasted her time, which aroused the Emperor's anger and asked her to return to Hexi to weave cloth.

, you are only allowed to see your husband once every year on the seventh day of July?"

"Otherwise?" Zhao Yun asked puzzledly. "Could it be that your story in western Liaoning is still different?"

"It can't be said that it is different." Gongsun Xun shook his head and said. "It's just that Ayun, don't you think it's strange, how can a morning glory man marry the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven? You have a good relationship with Zi Heng's wife, so you should know that, so

It’s a county where the rich and powerful families dislike poverty and love the rich and don’t want to marry their daughter to a talented but poor person, let alone the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven.”

"This...this is true."

"Therefore, we in western Liaoning have a story about how the Morning Cowherd married the Weaver Girl." Gongsun Xun said jokingly while holding his wife on his lap. "Do you want to listen to it?"

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yun boldly hugged her husband's neck.

However, after hearing her husband's new story, Mrs. Zhao looked a little strange, and she even felt a little confused: "Stealing people's clothes and forcing them to return home as wives. Isn't this the act of kidnapping a good girl to become a wife?"

"Of course." Gongsun Xun was honest. "According to the law, Morning Cowherd deserves to be executed and quartered..."

Gongsun Xun did not lie. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, abducting good families, gang robberies, and tomb robbing are all serious crimes, because in addition to the crime itself, these behaviors are universal and have other social impacts. Gang robberies mean gangs, and tomb robbing means destroying human sacrifices.

The abduction and trafficking of good family members has a huge destructive effect on social customs, so they must be dealt with particularly severely - that is, after killing, the bodies must be dismembered and displayed in public.

Of course, at this moment, the unscrupulous power of the powerful and the large-scale appearance of refugees have fundamentally shaken the social order, and the implementation of these laws has become "adaptive to local conditions" and "different to different people."

"Then why is there such a story circulating?" Zhao Yun was of course puzzled.

"First of all, of course, someone 'unintentionally' made up this ridiculous story," Gongsun Xun sighed. "Secondly, it's the powerful and wealthy families who have groups of concubines, while the poor people have no wives... So if you can steal a piece of clothing

How can it not be a good thing if you can get a beautiful wife? Therefore, this kind of story is still rarely heard in the homes of middle and upper class people, but it is spread by word of mouth among the poor people below... It is really that they are too constrained by the problem of not having a wife.

.”

Zhao Yun sat in her husband's arms, hanging on her neck, and opened her mouth to speak, but her face turned red again, and then she asked with all her strength: "Isn't Qin Luofu your husband? Isn't it that you like him? And you specially ordered Zhao Guoguo for this."

Fu composed a song called "Mo Shang Sang"!"

"That poem has nothing to do with me." Gongsun Xun shook his head repeatedly. Before the banquet, he immediately inquired about the cause of the Qin Luofu incident. How could he not know the reason behind it. "That was a poem written by the master of the country. We made an appointment.

We just asked our family to make engravings for him."

"Really?" Zhao Yun was doubtful.

"Moreover, the story behind this poem is not just about Qin Luofu and one person on that day..."

Gongsun Xun laughed more and more, but he explained the three things behind Guofu Hantuo's poem one by one.

"Ayun, do you understand? Poetry is about expressing emotions and discussing aspirations. The words in them may not stand up to scrutiny, and sometimes they are even copied mechanically for the sake of confrontation and neatness..." Gongsun Xun said, but he was thinking about himself

The wife started to touch her body randomly. "It's just like this: 'The Japanese has a bun on her head, and there are bright moon beads in her ears. Xianqi is the lower skirt, and Ziqi is the upper jacket.' To be honest, I also saw the Qin family in the official temple that day.

Girl, the Japanese bun and the bright moon bead are real, but I have only seen the yellow skirt and purple clothes until today."

Wearing a yellow skirt and purple clothes, decorated with bright moon beads, Zhao Yun's face was flushed and hot just because she was a married woman and it was difficult for her to do a Japanese bun, but she was already convinced... Her husband only came back in the evening, and as soon as he came back, he made a banquet for her.

The governor of Jizhou, who admitted his mistake, still smelled of alcohol and sweat. If he had made it up on the fly, it would be impossible for him to make up the origin of the poem so seamlessly.

Not to mention, the other party's attitude was so candid and direct.

"Then Qin's daughter..." After a long time, under her husband's teasing gaze, Zhao Yun finally said in a daze. "The Qin's daughter's family has already accepted the betrothal gift I sent."

"Then I'll accept it," Gongsun Xun responded easily. "The Qin family's daughter is indeed a bit special. Although I don't have any thoughts, what can I do with Madam's wishes? Do I have to cancel the engagement again?

?”

Zhao Yun was furious for a moment.

"However, Ayun, you must know," Gongsun Xun stroked his wife's cheek with his palm and immediately silenced her. "I am twenty-four this year. Counting the daughter of the Qin family who received the betrothal gift today, I am one wife."

Three concubines, and you should also know the origins of these three concubines... Only one wife is the only one I want to beg for. If your grandmother didn't come to look for me that day, I would also go to your house to ask for her."

"I do not believe……"

"It doesn't matter even if you don't believe it," Gongsun Xun remained calm. "We are husband and wife, we set out on the same journey, and we will stay together until death. Unless there is a natural rift between you and me, how can we get separated because of other people or other things?

Any setbacks?"

"I just... just saw that Ayu was pregnant, and I felt a little confused." Zhao Yun managed to respond. After all, she was just a wife who was barely twenty years old.

"Then by the light of the galaxy, I will have a child with you."

"It's a pity that I didn't go to Mount Wutai in Bingzhou that day. If you are... Mr. Lang, please go back to your house!"

"I sent people away just now, and there is no one here."

"Where can I be in the courtyard..."

"The Book of Songs says: If you feel comfortable and take off your clothes, you won't feel embarrassed! It's time to borrow the essence of the stars to ask for a child... Ayun, why is your skirt tied so tightly? I'll fix it with a knife."

"The cat...the cat is in the courtyard, it is watching!" Zhao Yun was almost begging.

"It's okay to be castrated...Besides, the "Book of Songs" says: There are Pu Shen in the forest, castrated cats in the courtyard, pure bunches of white grass, and women like jade... It's just the right thing to do!"

"Where in the Book of Songs... where is the castrated cat?!"

………………

Liu Yan didn't sleep a wink all night, he just sat in the courtyard staring up at the Milky Way in the sky in a daze. When the sky gradually became brighter, he felt very sleepy, and there was dew in the courtyard again, so he went back to rest for a while... However,

As soon as the sun turned dew, Gongsun Xun suddenly came to visit, forcing the Jizhou governor to get up hastily and meet him in the courtyard.

"Uncle Fang!" Gongsun Xun's eyes were red, as if he had not had a good rest last night, but when he sat opposite Liu Yan in the courtyard, his words and deeds showed a sense of refreshment. "Xun has not slept all night, but he is

After thinking about it, I came up with something I didn't want to say, so I took the liberty to come here while I was feeling strong, so please don't take it personally."

"Handan Order, please speak frankly." Liu Yan, whose eyes were also red, couldn't help but yawn repeatedly and cheered up... After all, he knew that this kind of private meeting was the occasion where the problem could really be solved, and he had to deal with it seriously.

In fact, even his own son Liu Fan was driven outside the courtyard by Liu Yan.

Gongsun Xun sat upright and said: "What I want to talk about today is about the administration of Handan by the subordinates. I have some feelings in my heart..."

"You feel something in your heart?" Liu Yan, who finally managed to cheer up, almost wanted to curse, but he could only sneer his face and say a few words of ridicule. "Why do I feel that the Handan Order is acting wantonly in governing Handan? No one dares to disobey him.

, no one dares to respond.”

"When I first came to Handan, I was really arrogant." Gongsun Xun was completely unfazed by the other party's attitude and just said calmly. "I calmed down a little after being persuaded by my subordinate Wang Shuzhi. However, when I inspected the northwest of Handan, I saw

After becoming a poor man in the local hills, although he became wanton again, it was mostly out of anger rather than arrogance...Does Uncle Fang know that I personally killed a county captain on the way to patrol?"

"How could I know such a thing?" Liu Yan replied with a tired look. "And from Liaodong to Luoyang, from Saibei to Handan, Wuluhou killed too many people, not just a county captain?"

"Although the subordinates killed many people," Gongsun Xun said bluntly, "but most of them were on the battlefield or law enforcement in prison... Only this county captain was killed by me in anger, and there was no way to rely on him!

"

"Are you here to find me to surrender?" Liu Yan suddenly perked up... Is this giving him an excuse?

"That day when I went to a mountain village, I happened to encounter a group of thieves from the Taihang Mountains who came down to plunder." Gongsun Xun ignored the other party at all and just talked to himself. "After I captured them, when I asked them, they confessed where they were.

They killed people wherever they were, and they robbed them somewhere... In the end, one of them actually admitted that he had dropped a baby to death during a robbery somewhere."

Although Liu Yan was considered an older man, he couldn't help but be startled at this moment: "Is this the case?"

"Because my concubine at home was pregnant and I also knew the principles of being a father, I immediately became furious and asked him why he was so reckless after robbing. Does Fang Bo know what his answer was?"

Liu Yan slowly shook his head.

"He asked me, it was just a baby, and it was thrown away. Why is the noble man so angry?"

"Extremely shameless!" Liu Yan showed disgust. "People like this who have committed such heinous crimes and are unrepentant should be severely punished!"

"This is natural." Gongsun Xun said proudly. "It is also a disaster for such people to remain in the world. I reprimanded him for not knowing the nature of being a parent, and then ordered him to be executed... However, this person still refused to accept it before he died."
To be continued...
