On the mountain road one group of troops the line, the middle also has a vehicle slowly. 山道上一行人马缓缓而行,中间还有一辆车子。 Although the horse thousand chariots are impatient to get back, the road that but returns home walks is not quick. Because of toward the stone column, cannot arrive from this on the same day, good horse impossible with charging speed vanguard, therefore the half step spreads lightly most pities a horsepower approach, also most lasting. 马千乘虽归心似箭,但返乡的路走的却并不快。因为由此往石柱去,当天是到不了的,再好的马也不可能用冲锋的速度前行,所以小步轻驰是最惜马力的做法,也最持久。 Then, by two Ramallah the vehicle speed is not but actually slower than riding a horse. Since has the car(riage) to sit, the Ye Xiaotian also excuse horse-riding is not very then exquisite, two hip rubbed to evade the car(riage) to come up painful, for this reason also received the ridicule of horse thousand chariots: „This grade of horse-riding, terribly ashamed person. After you include the dark green procurator and negotiation general,......” 如此一来,由两匹马拉着的车子速度倒也不比乘马者慢。既然有车可坐,叶小天便也籍口马术不够精湛,两胯磨得生疼而避到车上去了,为此还受到了马千乘的嘲笑:“这等马术,羞煞人也。你可是括苍太守、折冲将军之后……” The carriage walks on the mountain road of jolting, the rugged path jolts the vehicle to have a jump feeling, fluctuating is not very big, because the vehicle is the wisest artisan labor builds, absorption of shock effect strange good, because the state of roads is not good, is not steady. 马车走在颠簸的山道上,崎岖的道路颠得车子有种跳跃般的感觉,起伏不是很大,因为车子是最高明的匠工打造,减震效果奇好,但是因为路况不好,却也绝不平稳。 By vehicles and sedan chair blue fabric cotton thread is vibrating unceasingly, Ye Xiaotian lifts the window curtains, looks at the far mountain of peak on top of peak, looks back to look to Tian Binfei. Tian Binfei incomplete both legs, sits on the vehicle is inferior to Ye Xiaotian to be steady, therefore his right hand has held by the theater box wall arm rest. 车轿两侧的蓝绒布帘儿不断地抖动着,叶小天掀开窗帘,望了望层峦叠嶂的远山,回首望向田彬霏。田彬霏残缺了双腿,在车上坐得不如叶小天平稳,所以他的右手一直扶着厢壁旁的扶手。 Ye Xiaotian said: „Between Yangzhou, a state of broadcasting do and stone column Ma, is it possible that have what predestined affinity old friend?” 叶小天道:“播州杨氏与石柱马氏之间,莫非还有什么前缘旧故？” What Ye Xiaotian connection is they that topic in Chongqing city, Tian Binfei thinks, said: „This matter , is not simple. You should hear, Yang Yilong good person woman?” Ye Xiaotian knows certainly, Yaoyao is the result of Yang Yilong loose bad karma. 叶小天接续的是他们在重庆城里的那个话题,田彬霏想了想,道:“这事儿,说来简单,却也并不简单。你应该听说过,杨应龙好人妇吧？”叶小天当然知道,遥遥就是杨应龙风流孽缘的结果。 Tian Binfei said: „ Broadcast State (Banshu) near Bashu culture, therefore Yang Yilong and Sichuan province (Szechuan) aspect takes a walk has been very close. Many years ago, then Commissioner Sichuan province (Szechuan) celebrated the birthday, Yang Yilong kisses/intimate with the heavy ritual with being in charge madame Zhang goes to the entirely succeed birthday greetings, at the birthday feast meeting by chance stone column headman horse Douhu and his being in charge madame Tan. 田彬霏道:“播州近巴蜀,故而杨应龙与四川方面走动的一直很密切。多年以前,当时的四川布政使过大寿,杨应龙亲携重礼与掌印夫人张氏前往成都贺寿,寿宴上偶遇石柱土司马斗斛和他的掌印夫人覃氏。 Tan 13 -year-old marry in horse to fight the five peck measure, at that time were about 18-19 years old, Yang Yilong sees unforgettablily. Only pitifully he wife, although some innumerable loose methods, want to be close to a headman is not easy. Therefore, Yang Yilong thinks an idea, reconciles own wife Zhang and Tan swears brotherhood for the Italian surname sisters. ” 覃氏十三岁嫁于马斗斛,当时不过18-19岁,杨应龙一见难忘。只可惜他虽有无数风流手段,想要接近一位土司的妻子却也不容易。于是,杨应龙想了一计,撮合自己的妻子张氏与覃氏结拜为义姓姐妹。” Ye Xiaotian thought: „The Jingzhou Yang is the Yangzhou, a state of broadcasting collateral branch, Yang Yilong this honored guest is a guest to the Jingzhou Yang family/home, that is an honored guest, lives in the inner apartments, must be close to the Yang Lin concubine opportunity being then many. But Tan is a wife of headman of a different surname, in addition, but also really did not have other good way.” 叶小天心想:“靖州杨氏是播州杨氏旁支,杨应龙这位贵客到靖州杨氏家里做客,那是上宾,住在内宅,要接近杨霖的美妾便机会多多。可覃氏是一位异姓土司的妻子,除此之外,还真没别的好办法了。” Tian Binfei said: „ Had this relations, both sides were naturally more intimate. Returns to shortly after Broadcast State (Banshu), the Zhang birthday approaches, Yang Yilong then got down the invitation in the name of wife to stone column Ma, invited Tan to Broadcast State (Banshu), attended the righteousness elder sister's birthday feast. 田彬霏道:“有了这层关系,双方自然就亲密多了。返回播州不久,张氏生日临近,杨应龙便以妻子的名义向石柱马家下了请柬,邀请覃氏到播州,参加义姐的寿宴。 horse fights the five peck measure to be big because of the Yang Yilong potential , has a mind to be intimate with, overjoyed sent to Broadcast State (Banshu) the wife, hehe......, the Yang Yilong graceful bearing look, you are know that so long as he has a mind to start, can escape from the woman of his palm is not really many. ” 马斗斛因杨应龙势大,也是有心亲近,欢天喜地的就把妻子送去了播州,呵呵……,杨应龙的风姿相貌,你是知道的,只要他有心下手,能逃出他掌心的女人着实不多。” Ye Xiaotian cannot bear say: „You were say......, was difficult to be inadequate this Madame Tan to give headman horse to wear a green hat unexpectedly?” 叶小天忍不住道:“你是说……,难不成这覃氏夫人竟给马土司戴了一顶绿帽子？” Ye Xiaotian is saying, cannot bear wants to lift the window curtains to have a look outside horse thousand chariots, does not know that this horse thousand chariots do know this matter, but looks at his such, should not know. This matter, even if outside has passed on it is well known, litigant actually last knows that forgives also no one stupid to running in front of the horse thousand chariots: „Hi! Does horse brother, you know? Your mother steals the person, with Broadcast State (Banshu) Yang Yilong, their sons may impure......” 叶小天说着,忍不住就想掀开窗帘看看外面的马千乘,也不知这马千乘知不知晓此事,不过瞧他那样子,应该是不知道的。这种事,哪怕外边早已传得尽人皆知,当事人却总是最后一个知道的,谅也没人蠢到跑去马千乘面前:“嗨！马老弟,你知道吗？你娘偷人,跟播州杨应龙,俩人儿可不清不白的……” Tian Binfei said: „Tan lived for a month in Broadcast State (Banshu), the rumor that she and Yang Yilong has an affair then disappears without a trace. Properly speaking, this matter is no one will fight the five peck measure to say with horse, awkward very much, says may be very unpopular everywhere and with everybody, but...... horse Douhu knew unexpectedly.” 田彬霏道:“覃氏在播州住了一个多月,她与杨应龙有染的传言便不胫而走。照理说,这事儿是没人会跟马斗斛讲的,尴尬的很,说出来很可能里外不是人,但……马斗斛居然知道了。” In the Ye Xiaotian heart moves suddenly, Tian Binfei have no reason to add this idle talk, this worldly wisdom he also understood. This good friendship is willing to run to tell litigant „big brother, you are silly, didn't the sister-in-law wearing a green hat you know?” But why did Tian Binfei specially emphasize its matter? 叶小天心中蓦然一动,田彬霏没理由多加这句废话,这点人情世故他也懂得。这得多好的交情才肯跑去告诉当事人“大哥,你傻啊,嫂子给戴了一顶绿帽子你知道不？”可田彬霏为何刻意强调其事？ Ye Xiaotian changes mind thinks, blurts saying: „Is it possible that...... is Tian Cifeng divulging?” 叶小天转念一想,脱口说道:“莫非……是田雌凤泄露的？” On the Tian Binfei face shows a mysterious smile: „This matter, knows truth are not many. But at that time, my decent person is staring at Tian Cifeng, because she is the Tian Family person, I hope that finds the opportunity to convince her for the Tian Family potency, therefore knows this matter.” 田彬霏脸上露出一丝神秘的微笑:“这件事,知道真相的不多。但当时,我正派人盯着田雌凤,因为她是田家的人,我希望找机会说服她为田家效力,所以才知道此事。” Ye Xiaotian pondered over, said slowly: „More than ten years ago......, Tian Cifeng married Yang Yilong should shortly, just is also in good graces. At this time Yang Yilong actually had a liking for Tan, two people loved the deceitful lust, will treat coldly her inevitably.” 叶小天思忖了一下,缓缓道:“十多年前……,田雌凤嫁给杨应龙应该也没多久,刚刚得宠。这时杨应龙却又看上了覃氏,两人恋奸情热,势必冷落了她。” Tian Binfei said: „Good, she wants to drive away the love rival, therefore this news divulged quietly to horse Douhu, naturally, she will not expose own status. horse fights the five peck measure upon learning this, startled and anger, immediately asked people to meet the wife. What a pity......” 田彬霏道:“不错,她想赶走情敌,所以悄悄把这消息透漏给了马斗斛,当然,她不会暴露自己的身份。马斗斛得知之后,又惊又怒,立即叫人把妻子接了回来。可惜……” The Ye Xiaotian associative compound, said: „Pitifully, how in his heart to suspect again, does not have the proof.” 叶小天会意,道:“可惜,他心中再如何怀疑,却也没有凭据。” Tian Binfei said: „Good! Moreover this Tan also has a wrist/skill plans woman, comes back to cry suffering one noisily, said oneself rush about the round-trip, to help the husband pulls closer with the Yangzhou, a state of broadcasting relations, instead made that horse Douhu felt helpless.” 田彬霏道:“不错！而且这覃氏也是甚有手腕心机的一个女人,回来委委屈屈一哭一闹,说自己奔波往返的,都是为了帮丈夫拉近和播州杨氏的关系,反弄得马斗斛不知所措了。” Tian Binfei sighed: „But this matter, since is unable to determine, the man always rather believes its has, is not willing to believe its does not have.” 田彬霏叹了口气道:“可这种事,既然无法确定,男人总是宁可信其有,不肯信其无的。” Ye Xiaotian remembered suspicion of Hua Qingfeng to him and Madame Su Ya, the heart has intimately nods. 叶小天想起了花晴风对他和苏雅夫人的怀疑,心有戚戚焉地点了点头。 Tian Binfei said: „Shortly after particularly...... comes back, Tan suddenly discovered oneself had the pregnancy, what is worse, this child nine months produced.” 田彬霏道:“尤其是……回来不久,覃氏竟然发现自己有了身孕,更糟的是,这个孩子才九个多月就生产了。” Ye Xiaotian startled say/way: „Horse thousand chariots?” 叶小天惊道:“马千乘？” Tian Binfei shakes the head saying: „Horse thousand chariots was born at that time, is his younger brother, horse Qiansi.” 田彬霏摇头道:“马千乘那时已经出生了,是他的弟弟,马千驷。” Ye Xiaotian does not have the reason to relax, he is very good to the horse thousand chariots feeling, although does not compare Hua Yunfei and Luo Daheng such brothers, is actually not willing him to have the stain in blood relationship. 叶小天没来由地松了口气,他对马千乘感觉很好,虽然不比华云飞、罗大亨那样的兄弟,却也不愿他有血缘上的污点。 Tian Binfei said: „This, horse Douhu that punctures germinates, is bad with the Yangzhou, a state of broadcasting relations day after day. But Tan should also complain Yang Yilong secretly a lot, Yang Yilong does not know that considered stemming from what seed/type, unexpectedly recognized horse Qiansi for his adopted son, and a daughter who lives him and Tian Cifeng, decided the baby to betroth to horse Qiansi.” 田彬霏道:“这一来,马斗斛心里那根刺就发了芽,和播州杨氏的关系日渐恶劣。而覃氏暗地里应该也没少埋怨杨应龙,杨应龙不知出于何种考虑,居然认了马千驷为他的义子,并且把他和田雌凤所生的一个女儿,定了娃娃亲许配给了马千驷。” Ye Xiaotian said: „Un! If horse Qiansi is really the Yang Yilong flesh and blood, Yang Yilong will not marry her different Brother Mu own biological daughter, then, eliminated horse Douhu the suspicion sufficiently.” 叶小天道:“嗯！如果马千驷真的是杨应龙的骨肉,杨应龙不会把自己的亲生女儿嫁给她的异母哥哥,如此一来,足以打消马斗斛的疑心了。” „Perhaps......” Tian Binfei vision twinkle, starts to speak but hesitates. “或许吧……”田彬霏目光闪烁,欲言又止。 Ye Xiaotian said: „What's wrong?” 叶小天道:“怎么？” Yang Yilong said: „Tian Cifeng permits to the daughter of Ma is third brother, her birthday and sister only miss for 11 months.” 杨应龙道:“田雌凤许给马家的这个女儿是老三,她的生辰与二姐只差十一个月。” Ye Xiaotian first is somewhat puzzled, careful taste: Differs for 11 months, in other words, her sister was just born, but also without the full moon, her mother Tian Cifeng then on bosom third brother. This matter is also certainly not implausible, but does Yang Yilong lack the woman? As for rests a parturient woman impatiently? This matter...... ” 叶小天先是有些不解,仔细品味一番:相差十一个月,也就是说,她二姐刚出生,还没出满月,她母亲田雌凤便又怀上了老三。这种事当然也并非没有可能,但杨应龙缺女人么？至于那么迫不及待地睡一个产妇？这事儿……” Two people have a look mutually, all perform during did not say, but is unable to proclaim in Kou. After all, this possibility has, without the evidence, the suspicion rather is carelessly insincere. 两人相互看看,一切尽在不言之中,只是无法宣之于口。毕竟,这个可能还是有的,既然没有证据,胡乱猜疑未免太不厚道。 Tian Binfei said: „Nowadays situation is, Yangzhou, a state of broadcasting and stone column Ma are relations by marriage. But horse Douhu complied to be related through marriage with Yang Family initially, likely to look at the opposite party is really willing to comply, thus relieves in the heart to have doubts. What a pity until now, he is unable to determine, therefore Ma and Yang Family relations are not good.” 田彬霏道:“现如今的情形是,播州杨氏与石柱马氏是姻亲。但马斗斛当初答应与杨家结亲,很可能只是为了看对方是不是真的肯答应,从而释去心中疑惑。可惜直到现在,他也无法确定,所以马家和杨家的关系并不好。” Ye Xiaotian nods, had an explicit understanding regarding stone column Ma and complex relations of Yangzhou, a state of broadcasting family/home. Ye Xiaotian thought: „I had never said to the horse thousand chariots luckily this comes the reason of Chongqing, otherwise Ma Jia knows that I testified to come for Yang Yilong, knows that perhaps I and Yang Yilong intimately related, the Ma old man not necessarily welcome my unexpected visitor.” 叶小天点点头,对于石柱马家和播州杨家的复杂关系有了一个明确的了解。叶小天心想:“幸好我从未对马千乘说过此来重庆的原因,否则马家知道我是为杨应龙做证而来,知道我与杨应龙关系密切,恐怕马家老头子未必欢迎我这个不速之客了。” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ancient column east to Lichuan, south to Pengshui, west to Fengdu, north to Wanzhou. Longyang Hole Division near Wanzhou, therefore has the possibility to consult with Wanzhou headman, tries to be separated from the stone column, arranges record/native place to enter Wanzhou. 古柱东接利川,南连彭水,西临丰都,北接万州。龙阳洞司就是毗邻万州,所以才有可能与万州土司接洽,试图脱离石柱,编籍入万州。 The horse thousand chariots lead Ye Xiaotian and the others to rush to the stone column headman mansion, walks toward in hurriedly. This stone column earth Si Residence is an architecure of close flickering Tuchia style, although not Central Plain yamun, but from that grand construction, asked people able to see, this not ordinary big wealthy person, must have the right to have others of potential, had such style. 马千乘带着叶小天等人匆匆赶到石柱土司大宅,急匆匆往里就走。这石柱土司府是鳞次栉比的一幢幢土家风格的建筑,虽然不似中原官衙,但是从那宏伟的建筑,还是叫人一眼就看得出,这绝非普通大富人家,必得有权有势的人家,才有这样的气派。 „Your this brat, heard that you do go to your uncle a few days, make your uncle's brine well produce to compensate in a complete mess?” “你这个臭小子,听说你去你舅舅没几天,就让你舅舅的盐井出产赔得一塌糊涂？” The horse thousand chariots took a step in the big room the hall, not and speech, a middle-aged guy then asked right in the face. This guy Tuchia nationality casual cloth, tall and powerfully built, the jaw next dragon fine beard, an eye is big and bright, seems has the imposing manner. 马千乘迈步进了大屋中厅,未及说话,一个中年大汉便劈面问道。这大汉一身土家常服,身材魁梧,颌下一部虬髯,一双眼睛既大且亮,显得极具气势。 The horse thousand chariots are slightly awkward, quickly changes this embarrassed topic: „Father, I have the urgent matter......” 马千乘略显尴尬,急忙岔开这个难堪的话题:“爹,我有急事……” The vision of that middle-aged guy has fallen on Ye Xiaotian: „This is......” 那中年大汉的目光已经落在叶小天身上:“这位是……” From the question and answer of these two, Ye Xiaotian has known, this guy is father stone column pacifying of horse thousand chariots causes horse Douhu, moreover this person of character is very strong. 从这两人的问答,叶小天就已知道,这大汉就是马千乘的父亲石柱宣抚使马斗斛,而且此人性格很是强势。 Ye Xiaotian quickly goes forward one step, said submissively: „Uncle is good, below Ye Xiaotian, thousand chariots friend. Guiyang prefecture Tongren city lying cow senior official in-charge Senior official.” 叶小天急忙上前一步,拱手道:“伯父好,在下叶小天,千乘的朋友。贵阳铜仁卧牛长官司长官。” The military function or official post headman has to direct the commissioner, to make reassuring announcements the commissioner, to pacify the commissioner, to comfort the commissioner and move to ask for the commissioner and senior official in-charge six types. Ye Xiaotian occupies its end, the stone column headman occupies third-class, there is nothing like holds the late lifetime nephew ritual, otherwise can the subordinate see Shangguan's etiquette to see. 武职土司有指挥使司、宣慰使司、宣抚使司、安抚使司、招讨使司及长官司六种。叶小天居其末,石柱土司则居第三等,莫不如执晚辈子侄礼,要不然就得以下属见上官的礼仪参见了。 horse fights the five peck measure to listen to him from the report status, the look is a clearing weather. No matter how said, others is a representative of side influence, cannot neglect impolitely. horse fights the five peck measure access road/simply said: „Originally is Sir leaf, disrespectful disrespectful, please sit down quickly. Comes the person, serves tea!” 马斗斛听他自报身份,神色便是一霁。不管怎么说,人家都是一方势力的代表,不能无礼怠慢了。马斗斛便道:“原来是叶大人,失礼失礼,快请坐。来人啊,上茶！” horse thousand chariots flexure scratched the head, before being able to bear and rushes, said: „Father, I have the urgent matter!” 马千乘挠了挠头,忍不住又冲上前道:“爹,我有急事！” horse fought the five peck measure white his eyes, ill-humored said/tunnel: „What proper matter can you have? Urgent matter, as few headmen, you must have peaceful landslide in before the calm, but not changing color.” 马斗斛白了他一眼,没好气地道:“你能有什么正经事？火烧屁股似的,身为少土司,你必须得有泰山崩于前而不变色的沉稳。” The horse thousand chariots urgently said: „Father! Tan Yan of Longyang hole must be separated from our Ma, went to Wanzhou headman!” 马千乘急道:“爹啊！龙阳洞的谭彦相要脱离咱们马家,投奔万州土司了！” „What?” “什么？” Is teaching the son, while carries the teacup, the horse that turns upwards one leg on the other fought the five peck measure to leap one to stand, because the movement was too anxious, the tea overflow burnt the finger, horse Douhu was angrier, one cup of tea „bang” fell the ground. 一边训着儿子,一边端起茶杯,翘起二郎腿的马斗斛腾地一下站了起来,因为动作太急,茶水溢出烫了手指,马斗斛更加愤怒,一杯茶“砰”地一声摔到了地上。 Smashing that teacup falls, but must fall the cup on Xian Yang the cup, this cup raises, but is not three drops of two drops of boiling water splashes on, then after burning horse Douhu fell. waves the arms about again and again, taking advantage of wind that wind coolly reduces the pain cup 那茶杯摔的粉碎也就罢了,只是要摔杯就得先扬杯,这杯一扬,可就不是三滴两滴的沸水溅到手上,是以烫得马斗斛摔了杯后便连连甩手,借那风凉降低痛楚。 Dumbfoundedness that Ye Xiaotian looks, this horse senior, temper also violent. At this moment, listens to some side wing people saying: „Fights the five peck measure, what temper do you lose carelessly?” 叶小天看的目瞪口呆,这位马前辈,性子也暴烈了吧。就在这时,就听侧厢有人说道:“斗斛,你又胡乱发什么脾气？” With the sound, a beautiful woman enters leisurely, Ye Xiaotian sees this woman brightly immediately at present one. Listens to this tone he to know that must be managing a household of Ma is in charge Madame Tan, on the road listens to a Tian Binfei saying, he in curious this woman actually what appearance. 随着声音,一个美人儿款款而入,叶小天一见这妇人登时眼前一亮。听这语气他就知道必是马家的当家掌印覃氏夫人,路上听田彬霏一说,他就在好奇这妇人究竟什么模样。 The Yang Yilong vision and taste do not need question, but went well after by him, but can also , for does not let the beautiful woman hidden bitterness, married a daughter to help her break through simply in the past, this was unusual. Now looks sure enough, looked that was called the woman who he wants to get out of bed, this was first, the so-called source of trouble, was this. 杨应龙的眼光和品味勿庸质疑,但是被他得手之后,还能为了不让美人幽怨,干脆嫁个女儿过去帮她解围,这就不同寻常了。如今一看果不其然,看一眼就叫他想起床的女人,这还是头一个,所谓祸水,莫过于此。 : Early this month asked to guarantee a minimum :月初求保底
