第七百四十四章 大丈夫当如是(1 / 2)

房俊房玄龄 公子許 0 字 2021-10-25

绛州龙门,因地处滨河要口,黄河与汾河汇流的三角地带,乃黄河要津。

修村之南有一塔,八节高,砖砌而成,名唤射雁塔。最上端顶部是晶亮的琉璃宝葫芦,塔北脚边是黄土官道,此官道西通龙门可直抵长安。此塔不知建于何年,塔上风铃微风作响,声韵清脆。

射雁塔建于一条土岗之上,黄土坚固。岗下则有贫民掘土为窑,居于其中,虽然简陋,然冬暖夏凉寒暑不侵,倒也不失为安家乐命之局。

村子距离河道不远,村民农耕劳作之余,便会汇聚于河津渡口,摇橹划船帮助商旅摆渡过河,赚取小利填补家用。

这一日天刚透亮,便有村民三五成群,前往渡口。

一方苦窑之中,一条昂藏七尺的壮汉掀开门帘打着哈欠走了出来,愕然看着脚步匆匆的村民,不由问道“诸位何事如此急促?”

便有人驻足回话道“薛郎君莫非不知?今日勋国公返乡祭祖,要摆渡过河。勋国公家业庞大,此行随从人员、杂货家资亦是不少。勋国公随行皆是车马,自然需要大量舟船摆渡,吾等此时前去,自可混一份营生,国公家想来不吝于赏赐,船资定然不菲,薛郎君要不要同往?”

倒不是这人文绉绉,而是此人正是村里塾堂的先生,家中早先亦是显贵,不过前隋年间获罪,因而没落。

而且跟他说话这个七尺壮汉亦非寻常农夫,此人姓薛,出身河东薛氏,虽是分支,家中亦曾显赫一时。其父薛轨,前隋曾任襄城郡赞治,只是因病早丧,因此家道中落。这薛郎君少年时家境贫寒、地位卑微,以种田为业,不过其父生前已为其娶妻柳氏,乃是河东大族柳氏的小姐。薛家虽则落魄,柳氏却不曾嫌弃厌倦,夫妻恩爱男耕女织,倒是一桩好姻缘。

况且薛郎君热心,村中谁家有事都会搭一把手,人缘极好。

听到此处,薛郎君笑笑摆手“某就不去了,家中尚有两亩天地未及锄草,某这就下地去。”

心里却是暗叹,这勋国公张士贵亦是河东人氏,想当年未曾发迹之时与其父薛轨交情莫逆,两家往来亦是频繁,有通家之好。只是薛轨早逝,薛家没落,张士贵却跟着当年的秦王殿下造反,现如今爵封国公,两家亦是云泥天壤之别,再也不曾走动。

“郎君,进屋用了早膳在下田不迟。”一声温婉的呼唤,将薛郎君从感慨之中唤醒,郁闷的叹口气,翻身回到屋内。

寒窑简陋,灶台被烟火熏得乌黑,倒是盘了近年关中兴起的火炕,一张苇席铺上,艰苦寒酸。

薛郎君心性沉重,坐到饭桌前默默无语,结果妻子柳氏递来的饭碗,眼神便被那一只手吸引住了再也挪不开,一股酸气自肺腑之内凝聚,熏得人眼窝发热……

当年他家显赫一时,妻子更是名门闺秀。犹记得新婚之夜自己拉着的那只小手,皓腕胜雪十指纤纤,现如今虽然依旧干净秀气,细细婆娑上去,却布满了老茧。

昔日十指不沾阳春水的千金小姐,却跟着自己饱受艰辛生活的磨砺,满头珠翠换成了布衣荆钗,奴仆成群变成一间寒窑……这让一个堂堂七尺的男儿情何以堪?

可惜薛郎君有苦自己知,他虽读过几本书,却不是进学的好材料,参加现如今兴起的科举考试只是走了个过场便被黜落,令他好不郁闷。偏偏更无经济之才,父亲去世之后守着万贯家财却终究混到现如今这副田地……

难道自己就真的一无是处?

薛郎君默默的扒饭,心里满是酸楚。忽地想到前几日遇到的一个算命先生,便闷声闷气的对妻子说道“这几日某请几个邻居,将家中祖坟择一地迁葬,或许能换一换运气……”

事死如事生,若是祖先葬得不好,阴宅之地不能保佑子孙后代福泽延绵,这也是一件大事。

柳氏微微一叹,轻敛裙裾坐到薛郎君的对面,依旧清秀美丽的脸庞带着浓浓的伤感,柔声道“郎君宽厚仁义,乃是人间伟男子,只不过未遇到时机,不能大展身手而已。前几日妾身听闻房相的二公子在江南剿灭山越乱民,威震天下,赫赫声威!有朝一日,郎君定然也是房二郎一样功勋盖世的男子。堂堂男儿,何必祈求祖宗的护佑?若是有朝一日郎君功成名就回来迁葬祖坟,那才是光宗耀祖的作为!”

薛郎君手捧着饭碗,有些愣神。

房二郎啊……

那小子年纪没自己大,却已经闯下诺大的名声,立下诺大的功勋!

金戈铁马,将军百战!

薛郎君不禁有些心驰神越,脱口说道“大丈夫当如是也!”

柳氏看着英俊倜傥、器宇轩昂的丈夫,嘴唇张了张,欲言又止,只是神情却甚是酸楚……
