Very early in the morning, Yang Ling is riding a horse, rushes to Yichengshu well organized. Said has no interest, the listener intends, he raised a Maanzi is too hard yesterday, Youniang made a thick mattress to him at the same night, builds on the saddle light and soft, he worried that shakes from being self-sufficient. 大清早的,杨凌骑着马,四平八稳地赶往驿丞署。说者无心,听者有意,他昨儿提了句马鞍子太硬,幼娘连夜给他做了一条厚褥子,搭在马鞍上轻飘飘、软乎乎的,他直担心把自自给晃悠下来。 Praised the officer to parade shakes to the Yichengshu entrance generally, from far to near the hoofbeat was suddenly anxious, more than ten fast horses sped away, but, Yangling looked up, a clothes armor bright guard is crowding around a general who withstood/top the helmet to hang armor, that finished spring finishes the division. 夸官游街一般地晃到驿丞署门口,忽地由远而近马蹄声急,十余匹快马疾驰而至,杨陵抬头一看,一众衣甲鲜明的卫士簇拥着一位顶盔挂甲的将军,正是那位毕春毕都司。 Finishes the division to be overjoyed, unlike the yesterday's arrogant imposing manner big, he grasps the horsewhip, a hand arch, illustrious said with a smile: „Brother Yang, receives to look, this will express gratitude especially”. 毕都司满面春风,与昨日盛气凌人的气势大大不同,他倒握马鞭,把手一拱,赫赫笑道:“杨老弟,多承关照,本将特来道谢呀”。 Last night pass/test Shouying escorted the grain and fodder to go back, when the Yang Ling words constantly to his theory, repeated pass/test Shouying is still a pride of face, the pro- soldier team leader who this intestines passed through the bottom enjoyed to the Yang Ling words greatly. 昨晚关受英押运粮草回去,把杨凌的话原封不动地对他学说了一遍,重复之时关受英仍是一脸的骄傲,这个一根肠子通到底的亲兵队长对杨凌的话大为受用。 Finishes spring with the government, not because several singing in good voice and with feeling words Yang Ling will soon take as always the knowledge already, but the feeling is very pleased, to Yang Ling depending on adding several points of favorable impression. Dawdles the horse early morning to the city, remembers this post assist, he emerges for a while, turns the post bureau to express the gratitude simply directly. 毕春久经官场,倒不会因为几句声情并茂的话即将杨凌引为平生知已,不过还是感觉十分快意,对杨凌凭添几分好感。清晨至城中蹓马,想起这位驿丞,他一时兴起,干脆直接拐到驿署来表示谢意。 Yang Ling busy going forward smalltalk, complete(ly) spring/lust heard that he must worship an elder, poured inconveniently left immediately, therefore also went to be grieved, in order to avoid lost the etiquette. 杨凌忙上前客套一番,毕春听说他要去拜祭一位长者,倒不便马上走人了,于是也进去凭吊一番,以免失了礼仪。 The group entered the courtyard, sees in the institute to stop County Magistrate Min that top green intimate small sedan chair, originally the colleagues to the county, first visited the Sir very early in the morning, a arrow wound in county magistrate Min is not deep, all on poisonous the corona because of the arrow confuses such for a long time, this waking up body was not affected much, heard that Ma Yicheng has died, remembers last night only then Yang Ling accompanied him, quite had the feeling of like grieve for like, did not immediately attend to dissuading, caught up to offer condolences by the sedan. 一行人进了院子,见院中停着闵县令那顶绿昵小轿,原来众位同僚一早到了县府,先去看望大人,闵知县中的一箭创口不深,全因箭上有毒才晕迷这么久,这一醒来身子就无大碍了,听说马驿丞已死,想起昨晚只有杨凌陪他,颇有兔死狐悲之感,当下不顾劝阻,也乘轿赶来吊唁。 The Ma Ang brother and sister cannot think person who Yang Ling can look for so many to have the status offered condolences, do not look that county magistrate Min usually and Ma Yicheng was on intimate terms, first that had money to supply, and Ma Yicheng good and evil had the sign of brocade uniformed guard on the body, otherwise is missing several levels, others can come that are the huge face. 马昂兄妹想不到杨凌能找来这么多有身份的人吊唁,别看闵知县平时和马驿丞称兄道弟的,一来那是有银子供着,二来马驿丞好歹有个锦衣卫的牌子在身上,要不然差着好几级呢,人家能来那是天大的面子。 As for Yang Ling is accompanying the general you think that a county postmaster passed away, the vice-provincial level leader attended the funeral, the family member is what/anything felt that knew. 至于杨凌陪着进来的这位将军你想想一个县邮政局长过世,副省级领导来参加葬礼,家人是什么感觉就知道了。 These person of two brother and sister some had not seen at the same time, naturally comes to the Yang Ling face. Thinks of here, Ma Ang is really grateful to Yang Ling, but Ma Lian'er looked that were many several points of hidden bitterness to his vision gratitude, making Yang Ling bewildered. 这些人两兄妹有些原本一面都没见过,自然都是冲着杨凌的面子来的。一想到这里,马昂对杨凌真是感激涕零,只是马怜儿看向他的目光感激中多了几分幽怨,令杨凌莫名其妙。 Finishes spring came to go through the motions, but sees Ma Lian'er, for a while did not give up. He has not thought that can see such a as pretty as a flower excellent beautiful woman in this small place unexpectedly, graceful 15-16 year age, whole body white mourning garment, an appearance of weak extremely clothes. 毕春原来只是进来走个过场,可是一见到马怜儿,一时又舍不得走了。他没想到在这小地方居然能看到这么一个如花似玉的绝妙美人儿,娉娉婷婷十五六岁年纪,浑身缟素,一副弱不胜衣的模样。 Plays musical instruments the broken appearance like the flower petal just blossoming and glazed frost belt/bring reveal, pretty that really could not say, has waited from three room/house concubines can also be the Jiangnan beautiful woman, unexpectedly no and on her six points of beautiful appearance. 吹弹得破的容颜如同花瓣初绽、凝霜带露的,真是说不出的娇俏,自已三房妾侍也都算得上江南佳丽,竟然没有一个及得上她六分美貌。 Until two brother and sister thank politely to his grades and salary highest military iffucer in front, finishes the division to take back the longing vision, sat respectfully by their ritual, then inflated the right hand saying: „Two please get up, your father gives life for one's country, Bi is also the incomparable respect, comes to worship one also should be”. 直到两兄妹到他这位品秩最高的官长面前拜谢,毕都司才收回恋恋不舍的目光,正襟危坐受了他们一礼,然后虚抬右手说道:“二位请起,令尊为国捐躯,毕某也是无比尊重,前来拜祭一番也是应该的”。 Two brother and sister did obeisance did obeisance actually do not set out, Ma Ang said: „General Sir, Ma Ang wants to join the officers, kills the Mongolian, to guarantee Great Ming, revenges for the father, asking the Sir to help”. 两兄妹拜了一拜却不起身,马昂道:“将军大人,马昂想加入官兵,杀鞑子、保大明,为父报仇,请大人成全”。 „This” complete(ly) spring/lust hesitated, if he soldier is the camp, receives several person that to be but actually easy casually, but his army is the health/guard makes, soldiers hand/subordinate are the army household, the father pass on the child and child biography grandson, is the continuation, although also has to assume a false identity to become a soldier in private, but works as so many people to accept blatantly, but inconvenienced. “这”毕春不由迟疑了一下,他要是兵属营,随便收几个人那倒容易,但他的军队是卫所制,手下的兵都是军户,父传子、子传孙,代代相传的,虽然私下也有冒名顶替当兵的,可是当着这么多人公然收下,可就不便了。 Ma Lian'er raised the head saying: „General Sir, my elder brother studies a skill in Wushu, was a foot soldier attendant still also to cause, asking the Sir can the opportunity be filial to the utmost for the father to him, is utterly loyal for the country”. 马怜儿抬头道:“将军大人,我兄长学得一身武艺,做个马前卒尚还使得,求大人能给他机会为父尽孝、为国尽忠”。 Sees this beautiful woman soft and gentle words to request, finished spring the body crisply the half, pair of eyes that slope outwards narrowed the eyes, a mind heat passage: „Good, gets up in a big hurry, you not only understand the skill in Wushu, and passes the writing, first is a pro- soldier to my side, duty of Ren Shenchang, in the future contributed to the military exploit, then rises your officer”. 见这美人儿软语相求,毕春身子骨酥了半边,一双三角眼都眯了起来,头脑一热道:“好吧,快快起来,你既懂武艺、又通文墨,先到我身边做个亲兵,任什长之职,将来立了军功,再升你的官”。 Ma Ang kowtows with joy, stands up. Wha long, although is small, after all also calculates a military officer, Ma Ang is always conceited, self-confidently depending from already skill in Wushu in the army not only can revenge for the father, but can also seek a government position. 马昂喜孜孜地磕了个头,站起身来。什长虽小,毕竟也算一位军官,马昂一向自视甚高,自信凭自已的武艺在军中不但可以替父报仇,而且可以谋个官职。 Own elder brother had the outlet, Ma Lian'er also happied for him, but thought of the elder brother to join the army, remaining from already one person, unavoidably secretly downcast. 自家兄长有了出路,马怜儿也替他高兴,只是想到兄长从军,剩下自已一人,不免暗自神伤。 The war is not bright, complete(ly) spring/lust does not dare to stay for a long time, sits the moment then to say goodbye to return to the military compound slightly, exhorts Ma Ang to get through the funeral to go to the military compound report again. Sir Min the arrow wound has not recovered, not to subdue|grams long time sits, a county administration official has the business to be busy respectively, therefore also said goodbye to depart. 战事未明,毕春不敢久留,稍坐片刻便告辞返回军营,嘱咐马昂办完丧事再去军营报道。闵大人箭伤未愈,不克久坐,县衙一众官员都各有事务要忙,因此也先后告辞离去。 Properly speaking, the Ma Family brother and sister should mourn by the side of the coffin for seven days, then makes the old father be laid to rest, but the art returned home at that time, if dies in other place, generally stops the coffin in temple and other places, when there is an opportunity to ship back the native place to bury again, some are poor, cannot stand up to long-distance transports the expenses, the inner and outer coffin even stops is more than ten years. 按理说,马家兄妹应该守灵七天,然后让老父入土为安,不过那时讲究落叶归根,如果死在外乡,一般都停棺在寺院等地,待有机会再运回老家安葬,有些家境贫寒,禁不起长途运送开销的,棺椁甚至一停就是十多年。 Two brother and sister discussions, decide to entrust to the inner and outer coffin in the Jimingyi Pudu Temple, when will ship back the hometown in the future. Now Ma Ang revenges cherished, joins the army eagerly, although does not press the system to mourn by the side of the coffin, this was also filial to the utmost, naturally cannot some people accuse. 两兄妹一番商议,决定将棺椁寄放在鸡鸣驿的普渡寺,待日后再运回家乡。如今马昂报仇心切,急于从军,虽不按制守灵,这也算是尽孝了,自然不会有人指责。 But how this comes Ma Lian'er to arrange, but became the difficult problem. Yang Ling sees Ma Ang to look to from already, access road/simply said: „Horse brother does not need to worry, the young lady also lives here is!” 但这一来马怜儿要如何安排,可就成了难题。杨凌见马昂望向自已,便道:“马兄不必担心,小姐还住在这里便是！” Ma Lian'er looked at his one eyes lightly, is putting on a serious face saying: „My brother and sister now and post bureau does not have the connection again, lives not justifiablily here”. The women most like bearing a grudge, particularly was spoiled beautiful woman, Yang Ling when only she also bears a grudge that petty official, access road/simply said: „What does this have? A while I help you arrange then am”. 马怜儿淡淡地看了他一眼,板着脸道:“我兄妹现在和驿署可是再无瓜葛,住在这里岂不是名不正言不顺”。女人最爱记仇,尤其是被人宠惯了的美女,杨凌只当她还记恨那个小吏,便道:“这有什么？一会儿我帮你去安排便是”。 Ma Lian'er curls upwards the nose saying: „I and you one is not related, two not to have a reason, at the appointed time refers to some uncertain what Gossip”. 马怜儿翘着鼻子道:“我和你一不沾亲、二不带故,到时指不定有些什么流言蜚语呢”。 Ma Ang stares saying: „Who dares? Also was not related has, how not to have a reason, I and Brother Yang could also be the good friend, what relations helping me incur to attend to the younger sister having?” 马昂瞪眼道:“谁敢？再说不沾亲是有的,怎么不带故了,我和杨老弟也算得上好朋友了,帮我招顾一下妹子有什么关系？” Ma Lian'er stamps the feet, has turned head to pay no attention to this simpleton. Yang Ling calculated secretly, pours to feel rational that Ma Lian'er said that because acts the post assist, his families have not moved in Yichengshu, if holds a young miss to live here, perhaps will also really draw on some idle talk. 马怜儿跺了跺脚,扭过头去不理这个呆子。杨凌暗暗盘算了一下,倒觉得马怜儿说的有理,因为只是代理驿丞,他连家眷都没有搬进驿丞署来,如果容纳一个年轻的姑娘住在这儿,还真没准会招来些闲言碎语。 County Magistrate Min just now added that just before leaving the person has been informing his brother-in-law, might as well make her first go to Youniang to live together for several days, from has moved to the post bureau to come, waits to appoint to proclaim officially, at that time has given her to live from that hut is, at heart calculating, him was saying to Ma Ang: „Young lady said is also reasonable, lives has inconvenient here, I looked that asked the young lady first to be occupied by my family to go”. 闵县令方才临走时还说已着人去通知他内弟了,不如让她先去得幼娘同住几天,自已搬到驿署来住,等正式任命颁下来,那时自已那间小屋让给她住便是,心里盘算着,他对马昂道:“小姐说的也有道理,住在这里是有不便,我看请小姐先住到我家去”。 He speaking of here, looked the shape hippopotamus that the Ma Ang mouth opens had the yawn, pair of willow eyebrows of Ma Lian'er also set upright, was busy at adding: „First acts as companion with my wife, I move in the post bureau to live and that's the end. When the Mongolian drew back, the young lady decides the behavior again not late”. 他说到这儿,一看马昂嘴巴张的象河马打哈欠,马怜儿的一双柳眉也竖了起来,忙补充道:“呃先与拙荆作个伴儿,我搬来驿署住就是了。等鞑子退了,小姐再决定行止不迟”。 Ma Ang is unable to contain one's joy, such arrangement also has what/anything not to feel relieved. Ma Lian'er shot a look at Yang Ling one, thinks that has not said a word again, this matter decided. 马昂喜不自禁,这样安排还有什么不放心的。马怜儿瞥了杨凌一眼,想了想也没有再做声,这事儿就这么定了下来。 On the same day, the Mongolian only sent out the small stock army and clear(ly) army makes the exploratory contact, both sides are probing the opposite party strength, no one has put into the main force combat. 当天,鞑子只派出小股部队与明军做试探性接触,双方都在试探对方实力,谁也没有投入主力作战。 Near late, the Yang Ling belt/bring person helps the Ma Ang brother and sister move to send Pudu Temple the Ma Yicheng inner and outer coffin, all arrangements are appropriate, Ma Ang then went to finish in Si army to report. Yang Ling brought back to the family/home Ma Lian'er, Youniang is a warm-hearted female, sympathizes tightly about this meeting misfortune young lady, heard that is only stays for temporary lodging for several days, naturally talked incessantly complies. 近晚时分,杨凌带人帮马昂兄妹将马驿丞的棺椁移寄普渡寺,一切安排妥当,马昂便去毕都司军中报道了。杨凌将马怜儿带回了家,幼娘是个热心女子,又对这位落难的大小姐同情得紧,听说只是来借住几天,自然没口子地答应了。 Ma Lian'er was cold as ice and frost about Yang Ling, saw Han Youniang but actually also intimately, this made Yang Ling relax greatly. This Ma Lian'er smiles, to him false, Yang Ling that all day coldly does not know where from has offended her, but also really feared that this horse thousand gold (daughter) arrived in home also to play the young lady temperament to Youniang, he could bear the air/Qi, but actually cannot endure anybody to give the Youniang air/Qi to receive. 马怜儿对杨凌冷若冰霜,见了韩幼娘倒还亲热,这让杨凌大大松了口气。这一整天马怜儿对他连笑都冷冷的、假假的,杨凌也不知道自已哪儿得罪她了,还真怕这位马千金到了家里对幼娘也耍小姐脾气,他受得了气,可是却不能忍受任何人给幼娘气受。 Few that the Youniang book read, but was gentle, manner to be clever, knows what/anything , said, what/anything did not work as to say. Ma Lian'er grows up in the area north of the Great Wall since childhood, most read the females of poetry book to bluff to make the accent appearance can not Central Plain full, gets along well with her actually, before long two people wound very ripe. 幼娘书读的少,但是性情温柔、为人乖巧,知道什么当说,什么不当说。马怜儿从小在塞外长大,最受不得中原饱读诗书的女子们拿腔作调的模样,与她倒是甚谈得来,不一会儿两人就十分熟络了。 Yichengshu, a person's shadow flashed the gatekeeper quietly, asked to the gatekeeper: „Post assist Sir in?” 驿丞署,一个人影悄悄地闪进了门房,向门房问道:“驿丞大人在不在？” Now this gatekeeper is an errand runners and minor employee, because the leg in the city is injured, moves about with difficulty, but the post bureau lacks the manpower now, let him and original gatekeeper exchanged the duty temporarily, he also thinks what the person asked acts post assist Yang Ling, sat asks the head: „Sir just went out, what matter do you have?” 现在这个门房原来是个驿卒,因为在城上时腿受了伤,行动不便,而驿署现在又缺人手,就让他和原来的门房暂时调换了职务,他还以为来人问的是代理驿丞杨凌,坐在炕头问道:“大人刚刚出去,你有什么事？” He said while sizes up, sees only clothes of person common people, the brim tight pressure of dog skin against wind hat on the eyebrow, the color of over the face wind and frost. 他边说边打量一番,只见来人一身普通百姓的衣服,狗皮防风帽的帽沿儿紧紧压在眉上,满面风霜之色。 That person listened to fish out one from the bosom with the sealing wax dense to seal/confer Gu correspondence, gave him saying: „I from outside the passes, but must hurry back at the same night, this package of thing transmission post assist Sirs, said goodbye troublesome!” 那人听了从怀里摸出一封用火漆密密封固的书信,递给他道:“我从关外来,还要连夜赶回去,麻烦把这包东西转交驿丞大人,告辞了！” The gatekeepers nod to receive the oiled paper package, that person shoves open the door, flashed in the middle of the boundless view of night. The gatekeepers read the correspondence, saw the sealing wax seal place to draw a strange fish, he has not cared, had a yawn, piled the letter/believes in the bedhead. 门房点了点头接过油纸包,那人推开房门,又闪进了茫茫夜色当中。门房看了看书信,见火漆封印处画了一尾怪鱼,他也没有在意,打了个哈欠,将信摞在了床头。
