第一回 杯酒论交甘淡泊 玉钗为聘结良缘
Chapter 1:A pot of wine witness the friendship of two noble man, and a pair of jade hairpin combines there family together through marriage
"Happy New Year!" "Wish you a prosperous New Year"
“恭喜恭喜，新年大吉！”
It was the Chinese New Year During the Tianpao Periods of Tang Dynasty.
这一天正是大唐天宝七年的新年初一。
In a village sixty miles away from the capital city Changan,lived a family of Shi,the house-holder of the family is Yiru Shi.He had a good rank the in the imperial competitive examination in the 22th year of Kaiyuan Periods. The man has no wild ambition for fame and power, he quieted his job in the government and went back to live in his hometown. The neighbors admire his knowledge and came to his house to congratulates him a happy new year every year.
离长安六十里外的一个山村，有一家人家，主人姓史，名逸如，曾在开元二十二年中过进士，却不愿在朝为官，未到中年，便回乡隐居，乡人敬他是个饱学君子，一早便来给他拜年。
Mr.Shi thanked all his guests and wished them back.However,after everybody leaved,a sense of sadness welled up in his heart. He took a deep breath and spoke to himself "How could people be happy born in such a dark age."
他循俗与乡人互相贺喜一番，送客之后，却摇了摇头喟然微叹：“如此世道，何喜之有？”
"Wa~~wu~~,wa~~,wu~~"the tears of a new baby came out from the bedroom, which joins the bombs of firecracker out side,it finally brings a smile in Yiru Shi's face "Anyway, there is something to happy to about in these days.Mengdie gave birth to this girl,we can at least have some joy now"”
“呜哇，呜哇！”房内传出小儿啼声，与噼噼啪啪的“爆竿”声闹成一片，史逸如脸上掠过一丝笑意，想道：“要说有喜，那就是从今天起，多添了一个婴孩，家中可以热闹一些了。
Mr Shi went out of house and says to his book-boy"Pick four fruit boxes from the presents, bring them Mr Duan's house and invite him over for a cup of wine "After giving his instructions,a little doubt came to his mind, "My brother Duan is always the first guy to came and congratulate me, why he so late this year?"
他吩咐阶前烧爆竿的书童：“你收了供品，给我拿四盒果品，到段大爷家去，并请他过来喝两杯。”心中颇为有点疑惑：“每年元旦，最早来拜年的必定是他，今年却何以这样迟迟未来？”
The boy answered "yes", he was about to go when he find the coming guy "My master, it seems that I can save a voyage, look who just came! "
书童应了一声，却忽地笑道：“老爷，不必去请了，你瞧，那不是段大爷来了？”
只听得有人朗声吟道：“节物风光不相待，桑田碧海须臾改。昔时金阶白玉堂，即今惟见青松在。寂寂寥寥史子居，年年岁岁一床书。幸有故人长相聚，黄鸡白酒醉相知。”
史逸如哈哈道：“卢照邻的诗给一改，倒成了即景之作了，段兄，黄鸡白酒，早已备好，待兄一醉，何以如今始来？”
Mr Duan,his full name if Guizhang Duan,is a middle aged man in his forties. He is dressed like a matcial expert,the typical person of muscle and strength, while Yiru Shi is an elegant gentleman with good manners. People would doubt how this two man became friends saw them together. As a matter of fact, they are not only friends, they are booms friends. It's hard to tell from first glance that Mr Duan is also a person good at literature and poetry.The Duan family is a new resident in this village, he moved hear less than ten years, even Yiru Shi didn't know his past stories, but he know that he is man with broad mind, terrific fight skills and wide knowledge. He appreciates this and took him as his best friend.
史逸如所招呼的“段兄”，名唤段珪璋，是个四十多岁的中年人，相貌粗豪，是个武师打扮，史逸如则是个温文儒雅的书生，从外貌看来，两人似乎不应如此熟络，但事实上这两个人却是朝夕过从的好友。原来这个段珪璋不但通晓武艺，诗文的造诣也很不错。他本来是个外乡人，搬到这儿还不到十年，史逸如也未深知他的来历，只是敬他胸襟磊落，文武全材，两人气味相投，遂成知己。
"My dear friend,don't blame me for being late,"Mr Duan knows that Yiru Shi is laughing at his lateness, "there is a reason,a good one."
"oh?what reason?"Yiru Shi asked.
"My wife gave birth to a baby last night"Guizhang Duan laughed very happily.
"Looks that good things always come in pairs,Is that a boy or a girl?" Yiru Shi snickered."A boy",Mr Duan answered,the he immediately realized something"Did your wife gave birth to a baby,too?"
"Yes,but only a girl."Mr.Shi said with pity.
"A girl?"by contrast, Mr Duan was felled very happy for his brother,"In that case, I have more reasons to congratulate you."
"Why?"Mr.Shi didn't understand.
段珪璋听史逸如有埋怨他的意思，一笑说道：“史兄，小弟今日来迟，有个道理。”史逸如道：“却是为何？”段珪璋眉开眼笑地说道：“内人昨晚添了一个娃娃。”史逸如大喜道：“哈！哈！那真是无独有偶了。你的是男的还是女的？”段珪璋道：“是个臭小子。咦，你这么问，敢情嫂夫人也已分娩了？”史逸如道：“我却是添了个不中用的女娃子。”段珪璋大笑道：“哈哈，是个姑娘，那我更要加倍向你贺喜了！”史逸如微微一愕，不解其意。
------10 月15日--------
"Have you heard about the latest royal new?"Mr.Duan said with laughter,"three years ago,Emperor Tangxuanzong steeled his son's wife Yuhuang Yang.Xuanzhong very devoted to this women and gave royal names to her three sisters.He even appointed his brother the prime minister. The entire family obtained money and power just because of one girl.All the officials in government envied them and dreamed that only if they could gave birth to such an daughter.That's why I congratulate you for having a daughter."
段珪璋笑道：“史兄可曾听得长安近事么？皇上夺了他的儿媳寿王李瑁的妻子杨太真做贵妃，这是天宝四年之事。杨贵妃得宠非常，至今不过三年，她的三个姐姐都被封为夫人，上月从京中传来的消息，连她的从兄杨国忠也拜相了，当真是一门贵显，无与比伦。因此都中风气大改，一听到有人生女，戚友便争来贺喜，人人都说如今的世道是‘不重生男重生女’了。吾兄添了一个千金，岂非当加倍贺喜！”Mr.Shi was very insulted to hear that and said angrily"It never occurred to me that you would think I am a man greedy for richness and honor.I had better chance for that ten years ago,but I quieted the job because I would never serve those flatty people who only think of themself and care nothing about those who are suffering from war or poverty"
史逸如怫然不悦，说道：“我若想求功名富贵，这十年来也不会甘心隐居乡下了。我就是因为看不惯小人当道，奸邪满朝，这才掼了乌纱的。难道我还会学杨国忠这类卑鄙小人的行径么？”
"Sorry,just joking"Mr.Duan explained,"I know you so well that you would cooperate which such people."
After a short pause,Mr.Duan continued his talk"Good officials like you are either exiled or resigned.No wonder that our country goes from bad to worse. I really felled worry for our nation and people."
段珪璋忙道：“你我相交十载，小弟岂尚有不知吾兄的为人之理？这话不过是说说笑罢了。”接着叹口气道：“我们把都中风气当成笑话来讲，其实适足以令有心人同声一哭呵！风气日坏，国事日非，将来真不知会闹成什么样子！”
"Joking,joking,our government is a big joke!"Mr.Shi said desperately,"forget it,forget it,let's go for a drink and forget all about it."史逸如也叹气道：“笑话，笑话，简直是越来越不成话！来，来，来！我们且乐得醉个糊涂，管他闹成什么样子！”For a few drinks,Mr.Shi was a little drank,he knocked the table in rhythm and recited a poetry"cengfuzi,danqiusheng....Libai really knows poetry,he and DuFu are the two poets I admire most.I heard he is in Changan now.I would have visited him if he wasn't always summoned into the palace by the Emperor"
两人对饮了几杯，史逸如牢骚满腹，取了一柄如意击桌歌道：“岑夫子、丹丘生，将进酒，杯莫停，与君歌一曲，请君为我倾耳听：钟鼓馔玉不足贵，但愿长醉不用醒。哈哈，但愿长醉不用醒。李太白这首《将进酒》真是深得我心，当世的诗人，我只佩服他与老杜而已，听说他现在长安，可惜常被皇帝留在宫中，要不然真想到长安去见他一见。”
Mr.Duan is deeply impressed by opinions,and tried to lighten the atmosphere"I wasn't all joking congratulating you for a daughter.Even your favorite poet Dufu write about the benefits for daughters.In this war-ridden years,boys are force to join the amy and die in battles,while girls can survive and marry someone in the neighborhood.We have been fighting for years with our neighbour countries.I am so afraid that a big war would come in one day.In that case,more and more people would regret that the had gave birth to sons other than daughters "
你所佩服的老杜，不是写过一首《兵车行》吗，这首诗写成之后，洛阳纸贵，传诵一时，其中便有这样几句：‘信知生男恶，反是生女好，生女犹得嫁比邻，生男埋没随百草！’如今国家连年用兵，而且大乱的迹象亦已显露，生一个臭小子的确不如生一个女娃儿呢！”
Mr.Shi poured himself another glass of wine,and slumped the desk with wine-glass,"that would be many years from now,it's too early to worry about it. But you remind me of something else."
"what?"
"we live in the same village,so we are neighbors.It so coincident that our children born in the same night.I promote an engagement between our two families,how would like that?"
史逸如满满的喝了一杯，将酒杯重重一顿，说道：“儿女的事情，我们哪还管得这么多？倒是你刚才所念的老杜那几句诗引起我一个念头。”段珪璋道：“怎么？”史逸如道：“生女犹得嫁比邻。我们虽非比邻，亦是同村，难得又这样巧，两个小娃娃都是在除夕这一天生的，我们就此结为秦晋之好，你意如何？

Guizhang Duan was very delighted to hear that, ”This idea came to me the moment I heard about your new born daughter,but I was shy to ask for that. It’s so great that we can be brother without blood relation and relatives in law. I happen to bring my grandma's jade hairpin with me.We can use it as a certificate of the engagement ”Yiru Shi had a look at the jade hairpin and astounded by its beauty
段珪璋大喜道：“我一听说嫂夫人添了千金，早就有这个意思了，只是不敢开口。你我肝胆相交，如今又做了亲家，真是最好不过。恰巧我身上带有一股玉钗，就拿来作订亲之礼吧。”史逸如一看那股玉钗，不觉一怔。
The hairpin is made of by the sort of hertian with great colour.A dazzling pearl was inlaid at the head of each hairpin.Both the jade and pearl are precious jewellery that Mr.Shi started to wonder where did Mr.Duan got those treasures.As he know,Mr.Duan lived a poor life by teaching the villagers martial art.He helped him out when times were tough for the Duan family.He couldn't be more strange when Mr.Duan took out the jade hairpin as betrothal presents for their children.But Mr.Shi really trust his character,although he is so suspicious ,he hasn’t doubt about the ownership of the hairpins.
只见那股玉钗，晶莹温润，竟是上好的和田美玉，钗头嵌的一颗明珠，宝光夺目，看来亦是价值不菲。史逸如不禁心中想道：“他怎会有这等无价之宝？”要知道，段珪璋自从迁到这个村子之后，就靠教一些乡下少年习武为业，家道甚是贫寒，每每碰到艰难时节，史逸如还不时周济他，如今见他拿出玉钗为聘，自是觉得奇怪。不过，他深知段珪璋为人豪侠，磊落光明，虽然颇觉奇怪，却也不会怀疑到玉钗来路不正。
Mr.Duan reads his mind and explained,"My ancestor is the assistant of General Lijing during ZhenGuan period.In a battle against Tujue,he got a pair of jade hairpins in Hotan.A few years later,Emperor Taizong awarded my ancestor a pair of pearls because of his braveness in the fights against his enemies.My ancestor asked a famous craftsman to inlay the pearls onto the jade hairpins,and passed the jewellery from generation to generation.Therefore no matter how hard life is,I won't sell the jade hairpins"
段珪璋似知其意，不待他问，便即说道：“先祖曾在贞观年间，随大将军李靖远征突厥，在和田得了一对玉钗，后来论功行赏，又得太宗皇帝赏赐一对南海明珠，先祖请巧手匠人，将明珠嵌于玉钗之上，永留作传家之宝。故此小弟不论家道如何艰困，都舍不得将这对玉钗卖掉。”

Yiru Shi is very delighted to find that,"you are a son of the worriers,no wonder you are so good at fighting skills. "Yiru Shi stopped to worry about the hairpins,but another confusion arose his mind,"It's a great honor to be commanders in the army,why did Mr.Duan never mentioned his ancestor's glory"
史逸如道：“原来段兄乃将门之后，怪不得十八般武艺，件件精通。”对这玉钗的来历再无怀疑，但心中却又起了另一个疑团：身为将门之后，乃是光荣之事，段珪璋却何以从来不讲？
10月19日更新
Mr.Duan had anther drink then continued his talk,"This hairpin is the only valuable treasure I have,I bring it with me all the time.One of them is carved with dragon(long),the other is carved with phoenix(feng),together I call it 'long feng bao Chai'.Now I will take this phoenix hairpin as a betrothal gift to your daughter "
段珪璋饮了一杯，接着道：“小弟家无长物，只有这对玉钗是个贵重的东西，所以从不离身。这对玉钗，一支雕有龙纹，一支雕有凤纹，名为龙凤宝钗，如今我就将这支凤钗，作为给令爱的聘礼。”
"I am so appreciated that you gave my daughter your hereditary treasure."The present was so precious that Mr.Shi was a little flattered to accept it.Then he realized that someday his daughter would marry Guizhang Duan's son with this valuable hairpin,thus bring this treasure back to the Duan's family,so he is not taking advantage from Mr.Duan.After anther thought,he accepted this valuable treasure.
史逸如道：“吾兄将传家之宝作为聘礼，如此郑重，小弟感激不尽。”他本来不敢受的，但一想将来女儿嫁到他家，这玉钗总是他家之物，所以也就不再推辞了。He had a look at the phoenix hairpin.There is a beautiful phoenix carved on this five inch hairpin.The phoenix is hidden between the hairpin,so it takes some patience to see it clearly.The phoenix has spread wings as if it would fly away from hairpin anytime
接过玉钗一看，只见五寸来长的玉钗上，果然雕有一只展翅高飞的彩凤，具体而微，神态生动，好像藏在玉钗之中，呼之欲出的样子，不过因为玉钗只有五寸，彩凤刻在中间，要很费眼力才能看得清楚。
When Yiru Shi is looking at the phoenix hairpin, Guizhang Duan passed him the dragon hairpin,"Please have a look at the other hairpin."Yiru Shi turned his sight to the dragon hairpin,it has the same design of the phoenix hairpin,it has a bright pearl inlaid on the head and a dragon carved on the body,a golden dragon with very delicate carving
史逸如啧啧称赏，段珪璋道：“这支龙钗，亦请吾兄赏鉴。”史逸如看那龙钗，形式和凤钗一模一样，钗头亦是嵌着一颗明珠，只是当中雕的，却是一条张牙舞爪的金龙，雕得更为精致。
“My dear brother.I was supposed to give your daughter the two hairpins in pair for luckiness,but I gave them separately to your daughter and my son.Can you understand my concerns?”GuiZhang Duan is quite hesitate,and seems he want to avoid the topic.
“What is your concerns?”Asked by Yiru Sh,”We are family now. There is no need to cover.”
段珪璋道：“目下奸人当国，乱象方萌，将来世道如何，谁也不敢逆料。小弟将龙凤宝钗拆散，把凤钗作为聘礼，其中还含有一层意思。”说到此处，稍稍踌躇，似有什么避忌似的，史逸如道：“什么意思，倒要请教。你我既成亲家，还有什么话不可说的？”
“I wasn’t suppose to mention about is on a such happy day.But our entire nation is ruled by treacherous officials and a fatuous emperor.A big chaos could come anytime.One day,I say one day.If our children is separated by war.The can still recognize each other through these hairpins.”
段珪璋道：“吾兄达人，元旦佳日，当不以小弟出言不吉为忌。我想，将来你我二家，若因世乱分离，他们这对未婚夫妇，也可以各执一钗，作为凭信！”
“You worried too much for the Children”Yiru Shi putted on a happy face,”We live in the same village.Our children will united to support each other no matter what happens.”But Mr.Duan’s worries also made his heart weighed heavily.He returned the dragon hairpin to Mr.Duan and carefully collected up the phoenix hairpin.
史逸如哈哈笑道：“吾兄也顾虑得太长远了！”暗自想道：“你我二家同住一村，纵然逢到世乱年荒，也定然是患难与共，岂能分散。”但见段珪璋说得甚为郑重，心中不禁隐隐感到不祥之兆，故此欢颜强笑，冲淡这沉重的气氛。一面说，一面将那股龙钗交还给段珪璋，那股凤钗，即珍重的收藏好了
"There is anther thing I hope you can do for my son"Mr.Duan continued their talk,"I haven't named the boy yet,can you help me come up a name for him."
"Me,neither."Mr.Shi looked into the court yard,it was snowing out side,and there are several plum blossom bloming in the heavy snow."I have always loved MeiHua(chinese spell of plum blossom).The tender flower is tenacious and sturdily，it blossoms in cold and snow,I hope my duaghter could grown up like it.Let's call her 'RuoMei' ".He paused for a moment,then he continued,"I hope our children could overcome all kinds of difficuties and never gave up hope in any occasion.But that's not enough,I hope they have could punished the vicious powers immediately.What do you think of the name 'Kexie(which means fight agains evil )' "“Ruomei Shi and Kexie Duan.Those are good names.Hope our children can stand our hopes when they grow up.”Mr Duan is very staisfised with this two names,he laughed Loud and clap his hands
段珪璋道：“小儿尚未取名，吾兄才高学广，便请代为起个名字如何？”
史逸如笑道：“我的闺女也还未曾取名呢。”门外正飘着鹅毛般的雪花，庭院里几株腊梅，在雪中盛开，史逸如满满的喝了一杯，便即笑道：“我最喜梅花欺霜傲雪，我的闺女，便叫做若梅吧。”顿了一顿，接续说道：“仅仅欺霜傲雪，尚还不够。当今之世，奸邪满道，好男儿应能上马杀贼，下马草露布才是。好，我就以这个意思，斗胆代令郎起个名字，就叫做克邪如何？”
段珪璋抚掌笑道：“好，好得很！段克邪，史若梅，这两个名字，你我的节操抱负都寄托其中了。但愿他们将来长大成人，莫忘父母对他们的期望。”
When there were happliy talking about the names of their children,suddenly they head the sound of horns,noise of the crowd,together mingled with the screaming of children.
"What happend?"Mr Shi was very amazed by that,"It won't be the placemen come to gather our grains in the first day of new year?It very strange,let's go to check it."
就在他们二人抚掌大笑，莫逆于心的时候，忽听得呜呜的号角声，喧哗声，杂着孩童们的尖叫声，史逸如诧道：“咦，外面出了什么事？新年新岁，难道就有官差来拉伕征粮不成？咱们出去看看！”
Mr.Shi's house is just a few dozen steps away from the street.The saw a group of amay walked into the villiage when the get out of the door.The soldiers are strong and welly armed.At the head of team,rides a cavalryman holding a big flag embroidered the lettles "AN".He was followed by two cavalry men holding flags,one write"The governor of Pinglu",the other writes"The governor of Pinglu".The governor is in charge of military affairs and civil affairs in the place he manage of .He is like the kinng of the area.No person has been the governor of two province ever since Tang Dynasty has built.
史家离路边不过几十步路，两人出了大门，抬头一看，只见尘头大起，一队官军从村头疾驰而来，甲胄鲜明，人强马壮，当前一骑，挥着一面大旗，金线绣着斗大的一个“安”字，迎风飞舞。紧接着两骑，也各扯着一面大旗，上面绣的是官衔，一面是“平卢节度使”，一面是“范阳节度使”。“节度使”乃是唐朝的方面重镇，在他所管辖的地方内，军事民政，都归他一人掌管。就等如一个小王国一般，威赫无比。一人而兼有两个节度使的官衔，乃是从所未见之事。
"It's him."Mr.Shi was a little tranced.Lushan An was very famous at that time,but it is the first time that Mr.Shi meet him in person.Lushan An is wearing a golden armor and Riding a majestically horse.The man is as fat a pig and as pride as a cock.He urged the crowd with a whip,"Be quick!Harry up!We must arrive the palace today to felicitate Spring Festival for the princess "
史逸如怔了一怔，心道：“原来是安禄山！”安禄山之名，在当时无人不知，史逸如却还是第一次见到，只见他是像肥猪一般的大胖子，身穿锁子黄金甲，装模作样，威风凛凛地坐在高头大马上，在前呼后拥中扬鞭喝道：“儿郎们，不必管路上那些猴崽子，踏死了就算数，快马疾驰，咱家今日要赶到长安给贵妃娘娘拜年呢！”
Yuhuan Yang is the emperor's favorite wife.Lushan An spent a lot of effort trying to please her.He was adopted as her foster son although he was much older than Princess Yang.The emperor was very pleased by his move and appoint him governor of two provinces.But Lushan An was not satisfied with that.He hopes to curry favor with Ms. Yang and be the governor of one more province.
原来去年安禄山到长安，极力巴结杨贵妃，尽管他的年岁比杨贵妃大得多，却得杨贵妃收他为养子。他得了甜头，所以今年又赶来给杨贵妃拜年，他一人兼领平卢、范阳两节度使还不满足，尚想钻营杨贵妃的门路，兼领河东节度使呢！他钻营心急，所以一路催军马疾行。
It was the first day of the New Year.The peasant families had some time to celebarte,the street is gathered by crowded peaple,especially children.There were A group of ten year olds playing games on the street whe Lushan An and his corteges started to dvrive away people from the road with whips.Even the adults were frightend when they are whipped,none of them dare to come out and protect the children.
新年初一，农家都尽情欢乐，聚集在村头村尾的闲人甚多，尤其是儿童们，更像甩了绳的猴儿，到处戏耍，这时便有一群十岁左右的孩子，在大路上作掷钱的游戏。
安禄山的扈从疾驰而来，挥起皮鞭，噼噼啪啪地乱打，路边的闲汉，也有几人着了皮鞭，吓得纷纷奔逃，哪还敢到路上去救护孩子。
The children were terribly shocked,it was a complete mess.Some brave,clever boys manage to run away,but three young kids was so frightened that they collapsed in the road,and was about to be trampled by the horses.
孩子们惊得叫爷喊娘，乱成一片，胆大的、机伶的急忙跑开。却还有三个年纪较小的孩子，大概是吓得软了，在大路上连爬带滚的，尚未来得及滚开，眼看就要伤在铁骑之下！
Just at the time,a teenage boy rushed out.He graped two one the children with hands and throw them out of road.But there was still a kid left in the road when the chivalryman rushed forward.His horse was only three feet away from then when the teenager picked up the last child.The rider on horseback gave a whip,the two hooves with iron feet were rolling down on them.
蓦地一条人影，横里掠来，疾如鹰隼，只见他双手一抓，抓起了路当中的两个孩子，一摔便摔出去了。说时迟，那时快，当头那骑已冲了过来，路上还有一个孩子，那人刚抱起孩子，那匹高头大马离他已不到三尺之地，只听得“唰”的一声，马背上的骑士一鞭挥下，那匹战马，给他一阻，人立跃起，两只包着铁掌的马蹄也向他踏下来。
Just at the moment,the teenager tipped on the ground and flew out of the road.The chivalryman's whip broke the teenager's coat,but luckly didn't hurt the child.And his horse stoped at the place where the teenager stand a few minutes ago.He would be seriously injured if he didn't dodge in time
就在这危险之极的一刹那，只见他抱着孩子，脚尖一撑，身子斜飞出去，皮鞭唰的一声掠过，裂开了他一片衣襟，却没有伤着孩子，那匹战马踏了下来，正是他刚才站立的所在，前后之间，相差不过一瞬！
It all happend in a sudden that Yiru Shi just find that the hero is just a contry boy in his thirteen age.The teenage boy looks very rustic in his grey cotton-padded jacket,peolpe would never think he is vigorous and nimble if they didn't see him save the three kids in person.
史逸如只道这人是段珪璋，这时方才看清楚了，却是一个乡下少年，穿着一件灰色的棉袄，土头土脑的，想不到身手竟是这般矫捷！
Seeing the army of Lushan An left the villiage,the teenager put down the kid and comfort him,"Do be afraid.Go home with your parents."
转眼间这队官军已经过去，那少年放下了孩子，说道：“孩子们受惊了，请哪位叔伯送他们回家吧。”
The parents of the three kid were all at around,they rushed to see they children.Two boys come out from two piles of straw by the side of the road.
"Mom,Mom.I hear"
"Don't worry,I am not injured"
It turned out that the teenager had just thrown them to the roadside in the rice grass.The were a little frightend,but wasn't hurt at all.
这三个孩子的家人正巧在场，急忙跑来察看，只见路边一堆稻草堆中，爬出了两个孩子，尖声叫道：“妈妈，妈妈！”正是他刚才摔出去的那两个孩子，摔在稻草堆中，虽然受了惊吓，却一点没有受伤。
The teanager left qutiely when the parents were taking care of there kids,when they finally thought of thank their hero he had went away.
众人都抢着上来，看顾孩子，乱哄哄中，那乡下少年却已悄悄走开，待到孩子的家人想起要向恩人道谢的时候，那乡下少年已不知所在！
Yiru Shi has been living in the village for over ten years,he know all the villagers,but he had the memory that he know the teenager before.He searched the young man's features in his mind again and again and is sure that he is not from the village.Yiru Shi was quite stranged,he didn't belive what he had senn and asked Guizhang Duan,"My brother,Do you know the boy?"
But he get no answer,Guizhang Duan is not beside him.
史逸如在这村子里住了十几年，村子里的人个个他都认得，刚才在紧张之际，无暇辨认，这时回想这少年的面貌，方始觉出他不是本村人，史逸如大为诧异，问道：“段兄，你认得这人吗？”他怀疑自己看得不清楚，所以再问一问段珪璋，听不到回答，忽地发现段珪璋已不在他的旁边！
Yiru Shi couldn't be more stranged,they come out together,why Mr.Duan left without saying goodbye to him.He looked around and find that Guizhang Duan slowly sneeking away,he covered his face by his coats.It looking that he is very afraid of something.
It didn't take Mr's Duan few steps that he went back to Mr's Shi's house
史逸如吃了一惊，把眼看时，只见段珪璋正在前面低首疾行，他把老羊皮袄的领子翻过来，蒙着了头，好像害怕寒风，显得瑟瑟缩缩的样子。史家离路边不过几十步路，这时他已走到屋子外边的一棵大树底下了。
Yiru Shi planed to call him back, and then he had a second thought, “My brother is such a kind and gallant person. He would brave out to save the children from the rushing horses, but he didn’t. He just sneaked away without saying goodbye to me. That’s so strange. Why did he hide his head among his cloth? Was it because that he was afraid that his enemies would recognize him?”Yiru Shi is a wise person, he thought of the current situation over and over again and found that things were not that simple,so he followed Mr Duan back to the house.
史逸如本待再大声叫他，蓦地心念一动，疑云大起，暗自想道：“段大哥平素好仗义扶危，绝不是一个胆小怕事的人，刚才那几个孩子险些受到马蹄践踏，以他的本领，尽可以去救，他却不去，这已是一奇；如今又悄悄地离开，连我也不告诉一声，这是什么缘故？再者，他是个练武的人，不该如此怕冷，却为何把皮袄的领子翻起来，蒙着了头，显得那般瑟缩的模样？唔，莫非他是怕有外人认得他的面目么？”史逸如是个读书人，心思周密，疑云一起，便不再叫他，匆匆忙忙的也赶回家去。
“Did Rushan An’s Army went away?”Mr Duan immediately shut the door once Yiru Shi entered the room.
“Yes,the went away.”Yiru Shi answered.
“All right. Let’s go in.I will tell you about my secret.”Guizhang Duan Lead him to the back room, thus nobody will overhear their private conversation.
“Have you done something against the law before?”Mr Shi couldn’t be more strange,so he Couldn't resist ask the question.
段珪璋已进了史家的院子，待得史逸如一到，他立即把大门关上，低声问道：“官军都过去了么？”史逸如道：“都过去了。大哥，你——”段珪璋道：“进去再说吧，提防隔墙有耳，漏了风声。”
史逸如满腹疑云，两人携手，进了厅堂，段珪璋又小心翼翼地把门关上。史逸如忍不住问道：“段兄，你莫非是以前犯过什么事么？”
“Ah-ha” Mr Duan laughed With a wry smile, “You think I had break the law before?”
“No,I didn’t break the law!”Guizhang Duan poured himself a glass of wine, “I just offended a scoundrel.”
“Then why you have to afraid.”Yiru Shi was stranger by Guizhang Duan’s story, “He is just a scoundrel. There’s no reason that people able-bodied like would be afraid of a scoundrel.”
“Do you know who the scoundrel is? His Name is Rushan An”
“An Rushan.” ejaculated in A cried voice.
“It’s him. For so many years, I never told you my story, Now I can tell you all about it. ”Guizhang Duan continued,”Lushan an is the reason I left my hometown YouZhou to this small village.”
段珪璋苦笑一声，斟满了一杯酒，一饮而尽，悄然说道：“大哥可是疑心我犯了皇法？皇法我未曾犯，只是曾经犯过一个无赖少年！”
史逸如越发诧异，说道：“大哥，你不是个怕事的人，即算曾经犯过一个无赖少年，你一身武艺，又所惧何来？”
段珪璋道：“说来话长，你道这无赖少年是谁，就是你刚才所见到的那个平卢节度使兼范阳节度使安禄山！”
史逸如失声叫道：“哦，安禄山！”
段珪璋道：“许多年来，我从未曾告诉过你我的来历，现在可以告诉你了。我本是幽州人，迁到贵村，为的就是避开这个安禄山！”
Guizhang Duan had another drink and continued,“My ancestors fight all their life to gain the post of military envoy inYouzhou.My father passed away early, so I succeeded to his position in the armywhen I was young. And I made friends with a group of gangsters. We call ourselveschivalrous expert and show our grievances everywhere. In fact, half of boys wasa bunch of scoundrels; they made friends with me just to get advantage of mymoney and wealth.Lushan An was one of them. And his name was no Lushan An atthat time.” 段珪璋再饮了一杯，继续说道：“先祖累积军功，做到幽州的兵马使，算得是个不大不小的武官，先父不幸早死，我继承祖父遗荫，不知天高地厚，结交了一班无所事事的少年，平日在里巷之间专管闲事，打抱不平，自命侠义。其实这班少年，有半数以上，就是无赖，为了索饮索食，和我结交罢了。其中有一个便是安禄山，哦，那时候，他还未姓安。”
Guizhang Duan had a pause,“He comes from west Tujue.His family name was Kang.Hechange the last name to An when his mother re-married to Yanqing An ,an Foreigngeneral.” “Wecan just call him Lushan An, everybody calls him this name now.”Yiru Shi nodded,”Sowhat happened between you?”
段珪璋顿了一顿，往下说道：“安禄山是西域胡人，本姓康，母亲是突厥人，后来再嫁胡将安延偃，他才冒姓安氏。”史逸如笑道：“不必管他本姓什么，既然大家现在都知道有个安禄山，就叫他做安禄山吧。后来你和安禄山之间，发生了什么事情？”
“Lushan An knows six foreign languages, so he lived as official businessman inYouzhou.The western foreigners and our Chinese live together in Youzhou.He workas an interpreter when the foreign trades and local Chinese can’t understand eachother. He always deceive the humble people made big profit in the trade. But heshow them with a bold and forthright face, It Makes him look very worthy of companionship. I also think he is a talent person and madefriend with him at that time. ”
段珪璋道：“这安禄山通晓六番语言，当时在幽州做互市郎，幽州这地方汉胡杂处，互市郎就是在市集上专责管理汉胡商务的一种小官，碰到双方言语不通的时候，兼做传译。他常常从中取利，欺诈善良的商民，外表上却是个豪爽脱略，喜欢交朋结友的好汉。我因为他懂得几路拳棒，又通晓六番语言，一时不察，认为他是个人材，和他交上了朋友。
“I tried to persuade him When I find out his misconducts. However he didn’t listen to my words and went from bad to worse. He forged an official documents to blackmail an citizen to gave his daughter to pay the fake debt. I gave him a hard beating when I find about this. He was very embarrassed been beaten andscolded in public by me. He broke up with me and ran away. ”
“渐渐我发觉他的行为不当，也曾规劝过他，他却阳奉阴违，变本加厉，有一次他伪造证券，勒索一个商民，强迫人家送闺女给他抵债，这事情给我知道，一怒之下，把他重重地打了一顿。从此绝交。安禄山在市集中众目睽睽之下，被我痛骂一场，重打一顿，无颜再混下去，第二天就失了踪，不知去向。
As a outside general,he was given important positions in the frontier army.He was also good at the job, and made several contributions to the army, so he got promoted very quickly.In less than two years,he was absorbed the Vice marshal in the army.And led his troops back to Youzhou.
“过了几年，忽然听说他做起了平卢军兵马使来，原来他靠着后父的援引，投到幽州节度使张友珪部下当‘捉生将’，边军重用胡将，他又善于钻营，兼之也立了几次功劳，所以升迁甚速，做了兵马使之后，不到两年，就升任平卢军节度副使了。而且将带兵回幽州驻屯。
“I had a poor and awkward time when he came back to Youzhou.I spent all my ancestors’property,and all the money were squandered.All the friends I had made left me.I have no memory for my hometown,so I left knowing that LuShan An would revenge on me when he comes back.It has been several year that I wandering in a foreign land, hiding from this guy.But after all this year,I still didn't escape from his revenge in the end. He will soon come back to seek revenge on me, So I should say goodbye to you and leave soon. ”
“那时我先祖所遗留的一点薄产，已经被我挥霍得干干净净，落魄不堪，往日所结交的一班朋友，也尽都散了。我知道安禄山是个睚眦必报的小人，他做了大官之后，作威作福的事情，我也听得不少。料想他回到幽州之后，一定放不过我，而我对故乡也已无可留恋，所以我便即远离故土，辗转流离了几年，方始在贵乡落脚。想不到今天仍然在这里碰到了他。史兄，只怕今日便是你我分手之期了。”
”It was just a episode when you were young.So many years has passed,maybe Lushan An didn’t remember it himself. ”Yiru Shi tried to comfort Guizhang Duan.
史逸如道：“我只道你闯了什么滔天大祸，却原来不过是少年时候，曾经打过一个无赖而已。事隔多年，安禄山也未必记得吧？”
”I don’t think so.Lushan An thought it as the most embarrassing thing in his life.He would hate me to his death. You saw how arrogant he is today.I'm afraid I'll bring disaster to you and your family if I don't leave soon,my dear friend.”
段珪璋道：“安禄山把这件事情当作平生的奇耻大辱，只怕死了也会记得。我若不走，定然身罹奇祸，我死不足惜，只是怕连累了妻子亲朋！安禄山如今气焰滔天，他的淫威，你今日不是也曾亲眼见了吗？”
Yiru Shi Know about Lushan An's cruelty，but he doesnot want to separated with his friend,so he tried to comfort him,”It was socrowded when they pass by,Lushan An might not recognize you among us.” 安禄山的残暴无道，史逸如并非不知，但他却不认为事情有如此严重，他和段珪璋多年朋友，实是不舍得一旦分开，因此又劝慰他道：“今天在路边的闲人甚多，安禄山在前呼后拥之下，匆匆驰过，他未必便在人堆之中认出了你？” “That’s possible. But I have to considerthe worst situation. This small town is very near ChangAn, He may pass by hereagain on his way to Beijing.It would be to late for me to run away when he findme first.” 段珪璋道：“古人说得好：防患未然。事情总得往最坏处想。万一祸患突如其来，那时我要躲也躲不及了。何况自从去年安禄山巴结上杨贵妃之后，将来必定常到长安，这儿离长安甚近，总有一天会给他发觉。” “Well, in that case. Let’s leave together.We are brother and family, we share weal and woe “Yiru Shi made up hisdecision. 史逸如道：“你我二人情同手足，如今又结成了儿女亲家，理该患难与共，要走，咱们两家一同走！” Guizhang Duan is not quite agree with his decision,he hesitated for a while ,then said, “I thank you for your support, but yourwife is a pregnant woman who has just given birth to a baby. It's too tired forher to move at this time.” 段珪璋面有难色，半晌说道：“吾兄高义，可佩之至。只是嫂夫人刚刚生产，这，这如何使得？” “How about your wife. She just gave birthto a baby, too.”Yiru Shi asked back. 史逸如笑道：“嫂夫人不也是刚刚生产吗？” “My wife is strong women with good bode.She can overcome the difficulty of the journey. But yours is a aristocratic lady.I am not sure she can adapt to journey like this” 段珪璋道：“内子略通武艺，身体强健，事到急时，要走不难。嫂夫人乃是名门闺秀，怎过得亡命生涯，受得风霜之苦？” “In my opinion, Lushan An would Stay inChang 'an until the Lantern Festival .We still have some time to prepare. Wecan leave in half a month, so my sister-in-law can recover from the Pregnantand birth giving.” 史逸如道：“依我之见，要走也不争在这时。想那安禄山前往长安，最少也得过了元宵，方回幽州。嫂夫人虽说身体强健，刚刚产后，到底不宜于远行。依我之见，不如再待个十天半月，那时两家同行，岂不是好得多？” Guizhang Duan thought about Yiru Shi’s suggestions,he was reluctant to part with Mr Shi’s family too. Even though they had two hairpinsto show their identity, It is still too hard for them to reunite. Also he wastoo lucky to think that An Lushan would be very busy and would forget to comeback and seek revenge.He is agree with Mr Shi’s idea.I would be a month laterthat Lushan An pass through the village again.So he took Mr Duan’s advice andagree to leave together on Lantern Festival. 段珪璋听史逸如说得甚为有理，再想到儿女的亲事上头，若然两家就在今日分手，虽说有龙凤宝钗为凭，他年能否相见，却还是只能听凭天命。安禄山到了长安，免不了有许多官场酬酢，京中富贵繁华，他又新拜了杨贵妃做干娘，也自得大大亨乐一番。即算他认出了自己，要报昔日被辱之仇，大约也得等他在长安回来，再经过这个村庄的时候。 想了半晌，段珪璋终于接纳了史逸如的劝告，决定在元宵前一日，两家人一同远走高飞。 After they settled the leaving plan,YiruShi finally had time to ask about the teenage hero who saved the three kids. GuizhangDuan was quite astonished by the teenager’s story, but he didn’t tell Mr Shi’sthe truth and lies,”I left when I saw Lushan An’s troop,I didn’t saw the boy.” 史逸如本来要问他认不认得那个乡下少年的，这时方有机会提起。段珪璋听了之后，甚为惊诧，说道：“有这样一个人吗？当时我一见安禄山的旗号，就蒙头溜开了。原来闹哄哄的是这一桩事情。” Yiru Shi noticed the change in his face,buthe explained to himself,”the boy’s behavior is to amazing ,no wander my brotheris astonished.” 史逸如见段珪璋神色有异，心想：“那少年的本领确是惊人，怪不得段大哥听了也觉讶异。” After a few minutes ,Guizhang Duan madesure that Lushan An’s troop has gone away.He sad goodbye to Yiru Shi,and lefthis house. 段珪璋再坐了一会，料想安禄山那队官军已过了十里之外，便向史逸如告辞，约定史逸如明日到他家相见。
段珪璋走后，史逸如回到内房，看望他产后的妻子和初生的女儿，妻子甚为虚弱，精神尚未恢复；女儿则似粉雕玉琢一般，生得极为可爱。史逸如怕妻子忧虑，举家远走之事，准备待她调养好了，临行之时才告诉她。那股段珪璋拿来作为聘礼的凤钗，则先拿来给妻子看了。
After GuiZhang Duan left,Yiru Shi went into the bedroom to see his wife anddaughter .His wife is very week after giving birth to their lovely daughter.Afraid that his wife would get worried Yiru Shi did nottell herabout the escaping plan now, he decided to tell her when she is recoveredfromthat. So he only told her about the engagement about their daughter with MrDuan’s son,and showed her the phoenixhairpin. 史逸如的妻子姓卢，乃是河东大族，富贵人家，见了这股凤钗，亦自啧啧称异，忙问他是哪儿来的。史逸如道：“是段大哥的。”卢氏道：“是那段珪璋段大哥吗？”史逸如笑道：“还有哪位段大哥？”卢氏道：“咦，这倒奇了。段大哥竟有这等价值连城的宝钗。”史逸如笑道：“还有更奇的呢，段大哥也是在昨天大年除夕的晚上得了一个孩子，不过咱们是个女的，他们是个男的。”卢氏道：“有这样巧的事情！你们是好朋友，孩子又在同一天出生！大哥，我说句笑话，这两个孩子倒像是天生的一对呢。”史逸如哈哈笑道：“不是笑话，婚事已经成了。这股凤钗就是段大哥给咱们女儿的聘礼呢。你该不会嫌他家道贫寒吧？”
Yiru Shi’swife comes from a wealthy family in HeDong Province. Though the Lu’sfamily is very powerful in the area, MsLu was shocked by the elegant jewelry. ”where did youget it?”Ms Lu asked. “This is theengagement souvenir.”Yiru Shi answered. “It it given byour neighbor GuizhangDuan”MsLu tries to confirm with her husband. “Yes, it is.” “It’s quiteastonishing. Where did he got this precious jewelry?” “I amastonished too.”Yiru Shi echoed with his wife, “Do you know what’s more astonishing?His wife just gave birth to a boy. In the same night with you.” “What acoincidence.”Ms Lu smiled, “Our children were born in the same day. This twobabies are born to be together.” “I think thesame way.”Yiru ShiLaughed out, “I haveagreed to the proposal of their engagement, this hairpin is the betrothalpresents from Guizhang Duan. I hope youwon't blame me for the decision.”
卢氏想了一想，道：“段大哥、大嫂都是百中无一的好人，段大哥且是文武全材，我看目下的世道，只怕将来难免大乱，女儿嫁到他家，比嫁到什么书香门第、官宦人家更可靠得多。只是我却有点担心……”史逸如忙问道：“你担心什么？”卢氏道：“段大哥家道贫寒，却有这等宝……”史逸如笑道：“你莫非疑心他的宝钗来路不正？”卢氏摇头道：“不是这个意思，以段大哥的为人，纵使是再值钱的东西，我也不会疑心他是不义之财。但从他有宝钗这件事情看来，他定非常人，若非先代曾作高官，他本身就必是荆轲、聂政这流人物。而他甘心在这小村子里默默无闻，依我看来，只怕他多半是惹了什么灾祸，避难而来的！”
“How could that be.Mr and Mrs Duan arethe best people I have seen, especiallyMr Duan is such a outstanding person.It’s much better for ourdaughter marry to theirfamily other than those rich or powerful people. ”MrsShi think for a while and paused,”But I am a little afraid…”
“What are yourafraid of?”Mr Shi asked hastily. “The Duan’sfamily is not rich. Where he get thisprecious from?” “Are youworried that he got itillegally?” “I didn’t mean that.”Mrs Shi Shaked her head,”Our brother is not the kind ofperson.He wouldn’t getrobber other people's property.It must be inherited from hisfamiy.What kind offamily would have such precious jewelry? And why their sonhave to hide in sucha small village?I guess he must be Hiding from some deadlyfoe.”
史逸如暗暗佩服妻子的见识，心中想道：“我初见这股宝钗之时，也曾暗暗疑心，却没有她这样思虑周详，一猜便破。”但他为了怕妻子产后过份担心，对段珪璋与安禄山结怨之事，还是瞒过不提。只是说道：“你猜得不错，他确是将门之后，这股凤钗是他先祖随李靖李大总管西征时候得的。段大哥为人好义，也许得罪过一些小人，想不至于有什么大灾大祸。”卢氏道：“但愿没有就好。”
Mr Shi is inspired by his wife‘s wisdom, he acclaimed her in his heart, “I hadthe same confusion when I saw the hairpin. But I couldn’t do such detaileddeduction. ”but he didn't tell her the full story in afraid that she wouldthink too much, he skipped the part that Guizhan Duan offend with Lushan An andjust told her that Guizhang Duan’s ancestor get this hairpin from Lijing(Agreat general in Tang Dynasty), ”Mr.Duan is a integrity guy against evil. Hemight be hatred by those yobs, but just a little case. There’s no danger”
“I hope so.”Lady Lu wished in her heart.
史逸如将宝钗交给妻子收好，出外给几个本家长辈拜年，又到村头村尾走了一转，村人都在纷纷谈论今早的事情，痛骂安禄山草菅人命，称赞那无名少年本领不凡，史逸如在他的谈话中，知道事情过后，并没有陌生人到村子来过，放下了心。想道：“要是安禄山认得他，一定会派人打听的。既然无人来过，大可不必忧虑。”
Yiru Shi asked his wife to take away the hairpin carefully, then he went out tosay Happy New Year to some elders in the family. After that ,he took a littlewalk to the end of the village, the residents are still talking about theaccident happened in the morning. They hate Lushan An for his look down ofhuman life, and praise the boy for his braveness. Know that no stranger come tothis village after the accident,Yiru is is much relived. “LuanAn didn’tarrange his henchman to invest into this accident, it seems that he hasn’t realize the truth.” 他晚上回家，因为妻子在坐蓐期中，照习俗请有产婆陪她过夜，他吃过晚饭，看了妻子一趟，便到书房歇宿。那时已是将近二更，他踏入书房，点燃蜡烛，忽见一个陌生人坐在里面。 Yiru Shi was a little relived after that, so he went home to look afterhis wife. He went to reading room to rest after supper. It is 12’o clock in themidnight, when he stepped in room he find a stranger sit right in front of him.
史逸如骤然见着一个陌生人坐在自己的书房里面，这一惊非同小可，烛光摇曳之中，但见此人乃是个满面虬髯，全身披挂的军官，这军官未待他开口，便即起立相迎，抱拳笑道：“不速之客，深夜造访，冒昧之至！好在段先生乃是江湖豪士，此类事情，当已司空见惯，想不会见怪吧！” Yiru Shi is very frightened by the stranger, inthe dim light of the candle, he find the man is a military officer with thickbeard. Seeing Yiru Shi coming in , the officer stood up to say hi, ”Sorry formy unauthorized visit! But Mr Duan’s ,you are a famous swordman I think you won’tbe frightened by me. ”
史逸如虽是个文弱书生，但胆气素豪，虽然由于意外，大吃一惊，待到看清楚来客是个军官，心中已明白了一半，这时又听得那军官称呼自己做“段先生”，事情更是完全明白，心中想道：“段大哥今早躲入我家，不问可知，这厮是把我当作段大哥了！” 史逸如定了定神，他心内虽然明白，却佯作不知，装出惊诧的神情问道：“尊驾何人，此来何意，尚请示知。”
Yiru Shi is not a swordsman as Guizhang Duan, but he is also very brave. He thought in his heart,“This guy must mistaken me as my brother. Lushan An saw Mr.Duan come in my house, so they think ”Though afraid in his heart, he tried to keep calm in front of the officer, he asked,”who are you? Why are you in my house?”
那军官望了史逸如一眼，史逸如虽说心神稍定，惊慌的神色，到底不能完全掩盖，那军官心里想道：“安大帅说他精通武艺，本领非凡，却怎的是个书生模样，一见我就吓得发抖呢？莫非他是大智若愚，大勇若怯，身怀绝技，却故意装出这般模样？”
The officer stared at Yiru Shi in his face and strange at his timidity ,“Commander An told me that Guizhang Duan is a strong man, why is he dressed like a scholar and looks so fear of me? Is he pretending like this to paralyze me?”
那军官坐了下来，说道：“小可在平卢节度使安大帅麾下当个骠骑将军，小姓田，名承嗣。田土的田，奉承的承，嗣位的嗣。”他一口浓浊的山东口音，似是怕史逸如听不懂似的，一边说，一边用手指蘸了茶水在书桌上划，书桌上现出了“田承嗣”三字，好像木工用凿子凿出来似的，入木三分。
这田承嗣本是江湖大盗出身，以前在黑道上可说是无人不知，他自报姓名，并显露这手本领，用意就在要慑服“段珪璋”，使“段珪璋”不敢抗拒。
史逸如根本不懂武功，这时他心中已有了主意，也就不再恐惧，对田承嗣的装腔作势，只觉得可笑，当下淡淡说道：“原来是田将军，久仰，久仰了！有何见教，请明白说吧。” “My Name it ChengSi Tian. I work for Commander Lushan An.” The officer sat down ,and wrote his name on the desk with his fingers. The figure is penetrated on the desk with strength . ChengSi Tian did it for propose to show off in front of Guizhang Duan. But Yiru Shi know nothing about these martial skills, so he just think ridiculous of ChengChou Tian’s behavior. Now he is not afraid of him anymore, ”Glad to meet you. Why do you come to my house, just tell me directly.”
田承嗣露了这手武功，见史逸如反而神色如常，毫无怯态，心道：“果然他是真人不露相，我几乎走了眼了。”越发认定史逸如便是段珪璋，因为摸不清他的深浅，心里反而有些发慌，当下又显露了一手“金钢手”的功夫，轻轻一抹，将书桌上这“田承嗣”三字抹去，强笑说道：“原来段先生早已知道小可贱名，咱们现在的身份虽有不同，但却都是在江湖上混过来的，红花绿叶，同出一源，田某绝不能得罪段先生，请段先生也不要令我难为，给我一点面子，和我一道走吧！”
ChengSi Tian is very conquered by Yiru’s Shi’calmness, he pretend to show off in front of Guizhang Duan, so he used his hand to wipe out the figures on the desk, “So you have know me now. Though this is our first meet, I still think we can work together but we have been the .You can go with me now.”
史逸如仍然佯作不知，淡淡说道：“田将军，这可奇了，你我素不相识，你可要我跟你去哪儿啊？再说，我也没有见过三更半夜来请客的！”
“That’s strange. Where do you want me to go? Why I should go with you. ”Yiru Shi has known ChengSi Tian’s plan, but he didn’t want to go with him.
田承嗣霍地起立，神色紧张，沉声说道：“段先生，你也算得是个成名人物，田某已按武林规矩，以礼相邀，难道你当真要‘敬酒不吃吃罚酒’么？走与不走，一言可决！何必婆婆妈妈的推三阻四，佯作不知，这岂是英雄本色？”
“Guizhang Duan. Don’t pretend in front of me. It’s your honor that Commander An want you to work for him. Do not try to weasel out here!”ChengSi Tian is very angery, and shouted at Yiru Shi.
史逸如笑道：“我本来就不是英雄，而且我确实是还未知道将军的来意啊！就是请客也总得有个请客的因由吧？”
“What am I pretending. I know nothing about your commander.I have to know the reason.”Yiru Shi smiled.
田承嗣“哼”了一声，道：“这因由么？请你问咱们的节度使安大帅去！”
“The reason.Maybe you can go and confront in front of him.” 史逸如道：“哦，原来请客的竟是安禄山么？”
“So, you commander must see me in person?”
田承嗣道：“是呀，安大帅吩咐，无论如何，都要请你先生驾到。所以你不去也得去！”顿了一顿，又转过稍为温和的口吻说道：“段先生，你是明人，不必细表。田某乃奉上命差遣，不得不然，请你不要再难为在下了。”原来这田承嗣对“段珪璋”也有几分怯意，要不然他早就动手了。
“Yes. This is a command.”ChengSi Tian is also kind of afraidGuizhang Duan,so he change to a gentle voice, “I come here to pass the word. Please do notdecline anymore.”
史逸如在尽量拖延时候，这时间他已转过无数反反复复的念头。要是去吧，后果如何，殊难预料。而且他平生讨厌权贵，像安禄山这种残民以逞、割据一方的土皇帝尤其是他憎恨的人。若在平时，他是宁死也不会去见安禄山的。但现在却涉及段珪璋，要是不去吧，他就得说明自己的身份，让这个田承嗣明白，这是一场误会，他并不是段珪璋。可是，这样一来，段珪璋却就难以脱身了。
田承嗣迫到了最后关头，史逸如把心一横，暗自想道：“我去还不打紧，安禄山的手下捉错了人，他纵然蛮不讲理，也未必便敢把我杀掉。段大哥去，最少也免不了一场凌辱，他是个宁死不辱的响当当的汉子，我说出真相，那即是害了他一条性命！”
When Yiru Shi is talking to officer Tian, he thought a lot about the consequence.If he go with Tian, he might get ride by Lushan An. Also, he hates
Lushan An very much because of cruelty.He would rather die than to meet him. But if he doesn’t want to go ,he must tell officer Tianhe invite the wrong person. In that case he will go and arrest Guizhang Duan. Yiru Shi tried hard to delay with time, but hefinally made a decision, “If I go with him.When Lushan An knows he caughtwrong person, he will release me. But if he caught my brother. There’s little chance he could be escape. The only way is I go instead of him.”
史逸如心意已决，立即打了一个哈哈，仰天笑道：“安节度使居然知道有我这个人，还派了一位大将军来请，当真是令我受宠若惊了！这是求之不得的事情，说不定我还可以混个官儿做做，哈哈，既蒙宠召，焉有不往！”
Yiru Shi
田承嗣的心情本来像绷紧的弓弦，随时准备动手，听他这么一说，登时松了下来，笑道：“段先生果然是明白人，听安大帅说你和他本来是老朋友，只要你肯说几句好话，你想做什么大官，都是易如反掌！段先生，我早已备好了马，就请动身吧！”
Yiru Shi wiped a long wipe after he made this decision, he said to officer Tianin a loud laugh, “Iam so flatted that your commander want to meet me. He think so much of me andsend his favorite officer to invite, there’s seems no reason for me to decline. ”
Chengsi Tian’s heart is very tense because of YiruShi’s tough attitude, and is ready to catch him by force anytime. Seeing hischange in attitude, he adulate him imminently, “That’s right. Our commander miss you very much. If you say some words of praise to him, hewill give you a lot treasure and fame. Let’s leave immediately.” 史逸如却好整以暇的一笑说道：“这么急？我总不能说动身就动身呀！”
“Why so rush? I didn’t promise to leave now.”Yiru Shi sat down ,and said in a lazy voice.
田承嗣面色一沉，哈哈笑道：“你还有什么事？安大帅吩咐，要我在天亮之前，将尊驾‘请’到长安，要是再拖延时候，我可以等你，安大帅却不能闲着在那里等你！”
“Are you kidding me?”Chengsi Tian was displeased to hear this, ”Our command ordered to bing you to ChangAn before tomorrow moring.If youtry to put off, I don’t think he have the patience to wait for you.”
史逸如道：“我总得和家人道别一声吧？”
“Well, at least let me say goodbye to my family.”Yiru Shi explaind.
田承嗣笑道：“要不是我早已知道你的身份，我真要把你当作一个酸秀才了。大丈夫做事，岂有这样沾沾滞滞的？你去和家人道别，一时之间，哪里说得清楚？万一你的婆娘哭哭啼啼的，闹到天明，只怕还未能动身！”歇了一歇，又道：“我看在你是武林同道的份上，丝毫没有惊扰你的家人，你又何必在这半夜三更将他们吵醒？”心里想道：“这段珪璋枉有那么大的声名，却怎的简直不懂江湖规矩，也不像个江湖人物！”
Chengsi Tian laughed out,“Why do you act like a little girl. If I don’t know your status, I would recognize youas a bookworm. It will take a long talk to explain the reasons to your family. Wecan leave until dawn if you insist say goodbye to your family. ” Then he changed toa compromised voice：“I didn’t bother your family when coming, why do you try to wake upthem in night?”.Andhe thought in his heart:“He acts so strange, totally unlike a masculine man’s behavior. ”
其实史逸如也并不想去和妻子诀别，令妻子心伤，他这样说，乃是另有打算。而田承嗣的不肯答允，也早已在他意料之中。
他听得田承嗣并没有扰及他的家人，先放下了一重心事，当下说道：“话虽如此，但我此去，不知何时归来，总得留个字儿，免得他们疑神疑鬼，平白担忧。”
As a matter of fact, Yiru Shi doesn’t want to say farewell to his wife tomake her even worried. He knows that Tian won’t agree to his proposal and raised theit for another reason. Knowing that Chengsi Tian didn’t plant to harass is his family, ShiruShi is a little relived, he proposed,”At least let me leave a message to them so they won’t get worried for my absence. ”
田承嗣甚不耐烦，但也只得说道：“好，你就留个字儿吧。不必涉及安节度使，胡乱找个藉口，只要让你家人知道你是平安就行了。将来你衣锦荣归，再令他们大大惊喜一番。”
史逸如笑道：“我懂得，当然不会涉及安禄山。”提起笔来，立即写了一封短札，只说出外谋事，叫妻子若遇困难，可找亲友帮忙。田承嗣在旁看他写信，不作一声。 “Well,just leave a message. Skip thepart of Commander Lushan An, just find a excuse so they won’t think too much. Theywill know when you are appointed with high post and matched salary. ”ChengsiTian is very inpatient and said in a rush voice. “I know.”Yiru Shi said with smile, he wrote ashort little to his wife, telling them he is out seeking a good job, they canask the relatives for favor during his departure.
史逸如将信笺用墨砚压住，摆在书桌当中，心里想道：“我妻子比我聪明，她明天一早，见了这封信，当会料到我是遭遇了意外，立即便会派人告诉段大哥。那时她虽然伤心，总比现在夫妻诀别要好过一些。段大哥也定然会照料他们母女，保护她们远走高飞！”可怜史逸如虽然煞费苦心，他到底缺乏江湖经验，怎知田承嗣也早已有了安排，要不然怎能容许他写这封信？
“MengDie is much clever than me. When shesaw this letter, she will know what’s happening. She will tell my brother Duanabout the danger. The Duan’s family will look after he in return. It’s much better than let her get intodanger with me know. ”Yiru Shi put the letter under his ink-stone and planed in hisheart. However he didn’t know that Chengsi Tian had already take measure to monitor secretly,otherwise he won’tallow him to write that letter.
田承嗣悄声说道：“脚步放轻一些！”两人走出书房，田承嗣一个飞身上了屋顶，见史逸如没有跟来，连忙跃下，含怒问道：“怎么，又不想走了吗？”史逸如道：“我在自己的家中，要离家也不能这样鬼鬼祟祟，要走，我得从大门走出去！”江湖上正巧有这么一条规矩，有身份的武林宗匠，纵使受人胁迫，也定然要走大门离开，才不致有失身份。田承嗣暗自骂道：“这个时候，还讲这些臭排场！”但也只得依他，从大门走出去。史逸如一看，门外已经有了三匹上了鞍的骏马。 “Let’s leave quietly.”Whispered byChengsi Tian ,then he jumped onto the roof. But Yiru Shi didn’t move after him,he is very angry and jumped down , ”What are you doing? Why don’t move yourlegs.” “Why do I have to act like a thief in myown house?”Yiru Shi censured back, “I will leave though the main entrance.” Notknowing that Yiru Shi doesn’t have any Qing Kung Skills, ChengSi Tian thoughthim a man with many unnecessary and over elaborate formalities for his attitude.He laughed about him in his heart, “what arrogant man! What’s the difference ofgoing through door or by roof?” But he stilled agreed to him. When they get out,they find three steed outside. A corporal in black uniform come over,“This must be Mr. Duan. My name is Song xue. I have been living in YouZhou fora few years. I have already hear about you before. Glad to meet you in person.”SongXue is also a trusted officer under Lushan An’s command. But Yiru’s doesn’t knowabout him, so he just said politely, ”Nice to meet you, too.” Hearing this,SongXue laughed out.YiruShi is very strange about this laugh, so Chengsi Tian tried to meditate betweenthem, “I heard that you nearly get in to fight for the Li’s family in QingHe,is that ture.” “That’s true.”Songxue said in a provokevoice, “We even dated an duel. If not dissuade by QiranKe (A famous ranger inTang Dynasty) ’s inheritor. It’s almost fourteen years ago, and I haven’t seeMr.Duan after.” “We will be colleagues in the future, you will havea lot of time together in the future.”Chengsi Tian laughed out.
一个黑衣军官走了上来，抱拳说道：“这位是段先生吧？小弟薛嵩，以前也曾在幽州混过一些时日。段兄大名，如雷震耳，今日幸会。”安禄山手下，有几个得力的将领，薛嵩亦是其中之一，史逸如答礼道：“薛将军的大名，在下也是久仰的了。”薛嵩得意之极，哈哈大笑，史逸如不知他笑些什么，只听得田承嗣说道：“听说以前为了清河沟李家的事情，你们几乎要刀兵相见，有这回事吗？”薛嵩道：“是呀，连时间都约好了。后来那个自称是虬髯客弟子的出头将事情化解，我与段兄也就各走东西，始终没有见过面。哈，哈，说起来这是十四年前的事了。”田承嗣笑道：“以后咱们都是同僚，你们两位也可以多多亲近亲近了！”
史逸如根本就不知道什么清河沟的事情，好在他们忙着赶路，薛嵩按照江湖礼貌，叙了几句之后，立即催他上马，没有再说下去，史逸如才得免露出破绽。
田承嗣在前，薛嵩在后，他们两匹马将史逸如夹在当中。原来这薛嵩也是江湖大盗出身，一手袁公剑法，出神入化，安禄山差遣这两个人来，乃是防备段珪璋抗命的。薛嵩刚才在外面接应，亦自准备有一场激斗，想不到田承嗣将事情办得这样顺利，他也是喜出望外。
Yiru Shi know nothing about the enmity between Song Xue and Guizhang Duan. LuckilyXue didn’ttalk more about it after that. They hurried to on their journey back. Song xuewas a major theif famous for his swordman-ship before. Lushan An send him to catchGuizhang Duan together with Chengsi Tian. They both though there would be ahard fight with Guizhang Duan, so they are very happy that “Mr.Duan”didn’t refuse their invitation. 史逸如的心情却是非常沉重，他跨上雕鞍，回头一望，心中想道：“她现在也许还在梦中，怎知已是夫妻离别？呀，不知以后还有没有夫妻重见之期、父女会面之日？女儿刚刚出世就失掉父亲，她将来长大，不知要如何悲痛？”同时，心中忽又起了一层疑云，田承嗣来到他家，在他的书房里缠了他将近半个时辰，卧房在屋子内进，距离较远，妻子产后虚弱，熟睡了就不易醒来，这犹可说。他家中一个书童，一个婢女，另外还有一个请来的产婆，晚上是准备不睡觉来照料产妇和婴儿的，他们为什么都一点没有听到声息？他和田承嗣在书房里说了这么久的话，难道睡在书房后间的书童都听不见么？
But Yiru Shi is very oppressed departing with his family, he looked back on hishourse, thinking about his new born daughter, “Thisis the first day she arrives the world, and now she is separated with herfather. How sorrow she would be when she grown up.”When he thinks about this ,an confusion arose in his heart—He has hireda baby-sitter to look after the baby in the night. And has been talking withChengsi Tian in the bookroom for over an hour, why does the baby-sitter didn’t find the unusual?
They are riding very quickly, so Yiru Shi doesn’t have too much time to think about it. Lushan An choose there good horse for there ride, though Mr Shi is not good at riding, he can also ride it well. They arrived at Lushan An’s house in Changan within four hour, it is a huge house under a little hill. Officer Tian showed him in through the corner gate and let him to have a rest in the struggle room. “This is Guizhang Duan. The famous swordman.”Song Xue introduced in a proud voice. There are about ten guards in the struggle room on rotation. They are very excited to meet the famous“Guizhang Duan”. But they are also very astonished to see his appearance, he is too scraggy and emaciated.
可是这时已不容许他仔细思索了，田承嗣已经放马疾驰，在前带路，他只得紧紧追随，他虽然不精于骑术，但他那匹马却是久历疆场的骏马，不必他驱策，就安安稳稳地驮着他跟着前头那匹马疾跑。他家离长安不过六十里，这三匹马都是日行数百里的骏马，不过两个时辰，便到了一处地方，前面是一座山，山下有一幢大屋，史逸如认得那是骊山，原来这座大屋，便是安禄山在长安的府邸。
这时刚是五更时分，天还未亮，田、薛二人带他从角门走入，请他先到卫士聚集的白虎堂歇息。
薛嵩得意洋洋地说道：“这位就是大名鼎鼎的幽州剑客段珪璋，以后你们多多向他请教。”白虎堂里有十多名轮值的卫士，听说是段珪璋，都“啊呀”一声，站了起来，待看清楚了史逸如的相貌，却又不禁都怔了一怔，心中均是想道：“这曾经纵横河朔，大名鼎鼎的段珪璋，却怎的竟是一个白面书生？”
这班卫士虽然觉得“段珪璋”的相貌出乎意料，但段珪璋的威名，十多年前就已震惊河朔，哪个敢予轻视？因此仍是纷纷上前敬礼。史逸如也大模大样的，谁向他敬礼，他都是大马金刀的坐着，淡淡的点一点头。
一个卫士问道：“段大侠见多识广，目下咱们就有一件事情，想向段大侠请教。”
Though very strange by his macroscopic features, they have heard a lot aboutGuizhang Duan’sstories. So they gathered to salute to him. Yiru Shi sat in the middle of thehouse and accepted their salutes calmly. “Hello,MrDuan. I have a question to consult you.”Said one of the guards.
史逸如摆了摆手，道：“不必多礼，说吧！” “Don’t be so punctilious. Just ask.”
那卫士道：“近年来有个名噪武林的妙手空空儿，段大侠可知道他的来历吗？咱们的大帅想礼聘他，不知段大侠可有办法？”
“There’s a new star in the green worlds recently.His name is KongKong Er, our commander want to hire him, do you have a plan?”
史逸如冷冷说道：“什么空空儿，俺从来没有听过！”
“I have never heard of him.”Yiru Shi replied in a cold voice.
那班卫士们大吃一惊，做声不得。要知武林中出类拔萃的人物十居八九，都是唯我独尊，目中无人。他们只道“段珪璋”是看不起空空儿，所以语气才这样轻蔑。那个向他请问的卫士更是心中想道：“一山难容二虎，他投到大帅帐下，当然不愿更有胜过他的人。我请他设法去找空空儿，实是失言，怪不得要碰他的钉子了。但他居然敢轻视空空儿，只怕确是身怀绝技，名不虚传！”
The guard is very embarrassed to hear this and he regrets for asking the question.People in the green forest are very pride and conceited, they think that GuizhangDuan looks down upon KongKonger so he denied know KongKonger. What they don’t know is that as a scholar, Yiru Shiknow nothing about the heroes in the Green Forest. 这个卫士碰了钉子，大家都不敢作声。田承嗣微微一笑，扭转话题，问另一个卫士道：“事情办得怎么样了？”
It went all silent in the room, they afraid to ask future questions. So ChengsiTian tried to change the topic, he asked on ther gurads, ”what’s the task assigned to you.”
那卫士道：“扎手得很，那个老的，武功怪异，咱们都瞧不出他的路数。还有一个小的，不知是否他的徒弟，土头土脑的似是一个乡下少年，手底却非常狠辣，连张统领都给他伤了。”
“It’s very hard.The old guy have strangeGongfu skills, we can’t win him in the fight. He brings a boy with him, he is very fiercein the fight ,even general zhang get injured by him. ”
田承嗣问道：“伤得重不重？”那卫士道：“侥幸或可免于残废，但最少也得卧床三月，田将军，我看还是你亲自出马的好。”
史逸如听他们说起那乡下少年的形貌，心中一动，想道：“莫非就是昨日在马蹄下救人的那个少年？”
“Is it serious.”Asked Chengsi Tian, “Verybadly, sir. The doctor says he has to rest in his three month for at leastthree month.” Hearing themtalking about the boy’s morphology features,Yiru Shi thought of the teenager who saved three kids,”It that him?”
田承嗣笑道：“段大哥来了，这件功劳正好让给段大哥作见面礼。段大哥，梅花针刺穴的功夫想来你定然可以破解？”
史逸如未及回答，忽听得牌官高声传令道：“大帅传田、薛二将军偕同段珪璋进见。”
原来这时天色大亮，安禄山已升堂了。 “Ithink you have to capture him in person.”Suggested the guards. “SinceMr.Duan come.He could make contribution on this affair. It won’t be hard for hime. ”Chengsi Tian said jollyly Yiru Shi didn’t have time to answer the question whenhe heard bellman transmit orders,”Commander asks Guizhang Duan to come infor audience inside.” It is bright in themorning, and Lushan An is on work now.

第一章结束啦。感觉自己地水平还是有一定提高的。
尾声部分快了很多，当然也是很多地方直接意译没有直译地
