Chapter 86: Incident
The sun was particularly hot at the beginning of July, and the warm wind on the official road carried the smell of dust, and hundreds of people could only hear the sound of horses' hooves kicking among the green hills and trees.
The yellowish picture scroll unfolded, this is ten years ago, when Mrs. Li was sixty years old, she invited the best painter in Yunnan, and recorded the Li family ten years ago, at that time the Li family did not have Jiao's Lu, some were married to Quzhou's eldest sister Li Yu, slim and elegant, and some were sent back from Jinling The second sister Li Jiang, beautiful and quiet, Li Fei was only seven years old at that time, and the person was as tall as the elm chair, one hand was on the knee of the kind Mrs. Li, and the other hand lived Li Yue's skirt, behind Mrs. Li and Li Yue, was the tall and thin Li Xun and Li Su, who was smoking strips, and the soft eyebrows and eyes of Le's, holding the youngest son Li Di with one hand, and Li Jiang who had just returned home with the other, sitting on the small pestle next to Mrs. Li.
The moist fingertips gently touched everyone's face, and Li Fei's face was so quiet and calm, only a pair of eyes, which were extraordinarily flickering.
Zhao Yanheng was also sitting in the carriage, the line was stretched, he and Li Fei were two miles apart, and when the curtain of the carriage was opened, only smoke and dust could be seen.
Dong Rang rode a horse and waited by the carriage, and when he saw Zhao Yanheng open the curtain, he bent over and waited for Zhao Yanheng's orders.
"Let's go to Anshun Mansion to have a look. Zhao Yanheng held the "Ninggu County Chronicles" in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
From Yunnan to Guizhou, hundreds of people and horses only rest in the official road post station, and the people who can't live in the post station are all around the post station to set up tents to rest, but the post station of the official mansion in Yunnan and Guizhou is also incomplete, to the place where it is really dilapidated, hundreds of people are all camped in the wilderness, so the road is only aisle, no need to pass through the capital cities of various places, this time Zhao Yanheng is going to enter the boundary of Anshun Mansion to stop for a while.
Cheng Anguo's team of more than a dozen people leaned forward, Dong Rang ran back with two people, stopped on Li Fei's carriage, glanced around at the four female dart masters guarding the carriage, and then said to Li Fei through the bamboo curtain: "Miss Li, walk another ten miles and rest." ”
Li Fei glanced at the sun hanging high, and estimated that it was only the beginning of the hour, the sun set late in the west, and he could walk for more than two hours, but Li Fei didn't say anything, and stopped after walking ten miles.
This team of people, in addition to the five hundred palace guards, there are thirty-five officials who command the envoys and eighteen dart masters, eight of the dart masters are female dart masters, and more than 50 people behind are closely following Li Fei, Li Fei's carriage stopped, Song Duofu in the back carriage entered Li Fei's car, fanned the plain fan in his hand, looked helpless, and a little tired, and said: "It turns out that this is what the road looks like......
What does it look like, sunrise and out, sunset stop, sleep unsteadily, do something to pass the time, in the swaying carriage, it seems that only playing leaf cards with the maids can entertain for a while, open the curtain full of green mountains and green leaves, and look at the two of them are tired. However, Li Fei Song Duofu and other carriage riders are better, and those who ride horses outside are covered with dust after walking for a while, and the weather in July is full of sour smell after heavy sweat on the official road.
It's been so boring for half a month.
Li Fei had a map in his car, which was sent by Ma before leaving, Li Fei looked at the map, found a small Ninggu County between the dense county capitals, and pointed at this place and said: "We are going to rest here for a few days." ”
Song Duofu stretched his eyebrows first and said, "It's time to take a rest, people are sleepy." ”
"This section of the road in Yunnan and Guizhou twists and turns, high and low, it takes some effort, to the lake and the land, the terrain is flat, and you will enter quickly. Li Fei carefully put away the map and said: "Ninggu County is not famous, but several literati have traveled here, leaving pen and ink, cliffs and ancient vines Chitose pine, flying straight into the pool, Changhong fell to the Milky Way shattered, there must be a group of immortals under the weight." There is a group of waterfalls here, the water is made of the stone on the stream, there are several times the height of the high, there is no one who is wide and big, so the scenery of the waterfall is unsurpassed. ”
Li Fei was right, after ten miles of parking, Zhao Yanheng came over with a smile and said: "Let's rest here for a few days, there is a Baishui River waterfall here, we will see it before leaving." ”
Song Duofu stood beside Li Fei, sneered and laughed, laughing at Li Fei and Zhao Yanheng, the two of them had a good heart, and they wanted to play together, and then looked around, but didn't see Cheng Anguo.
Master Song was originally going to follow his daughter to the capital, but later learned that Li Fei invited Song Duofu to live in the Xuanguo Mansion after inviting Song Duofu to Beijing, and his daughter could borrow the Xuanguo Mansion to live, and it would be too thick-skinned to add a father, and Li Fei entered Beijing, and the elders of the Li family did not accompany him, so Master Song learned from Li Yue's example, hired a few dart masters for his daughter, and brought two maids Xiao Tao Xiaomei.
Li Fei was wearing a light fine-grained shirt, with a moon-white pleated skirt underneath, wide at the top and wide at the bottom, only lining the waist with a thin bunch, and the powder on his face was not applied, but his cheeks were steamed by the heat, and he was smeared with a handful of rare bright colors. However, Li Fei touched his slightly sweaty face, obviously not used to this appearance, nodded, and pulled Song Duofu to freshen up first.
When they arrived at the post station, all the horses were freshening up, the women carried water to wash at the post station, the men led the horses to the river, half an hour later, Cheng Anguo took the Anshun prefect to pay respects, Zhao Yanheng said a few words, and asked the Anshun prefect to return to the city before dark, and then together with Cheng Anguo, called Li Fei and Song Duofu out, and the four of them went outside to find food.
"What are you eating?"
Zhao Yanheng and Cheng Anguo walked in front, Li Fei and Song Duofu were little donkeys, following closely behind, and it was Song Duofu who asked.
Zhao Yanheng listened to the sound of frogs, and smiled at Li Fei: "Just eat this." ”
Eat field chicken.
Speaking of Li Feiren's filial piety, the strictest filial piety is to live without pleasure and eat without meat, but how many people can do it, and are willing to do it? For a Cai family who has been monitoring him for more than ten years, maybe this person also killed himself in the end, but she died, and she had to keep filial piety for her for nine months, Li Fei touched the ears of the little donkey, and there was no objection.
So quietly come out for a meat?
On the rocky bank of the creek, the stones turned over one by one, Zhao Yanheng took off his boots, pulled his pants to his knees, and grabbed one as soon as he bent over, Li Fei stood by the stream with a sack, she was not disgusted by the appearance of these toads, but she was surprised by Zhao Yanheng's simple appearance, and said, "You will also catch and eat this?"
Zhao Yanheng pulled his sleeves to his elbows, revealing a strong arm, his eyes were shattered, and he said: "I lived alone at the age of nine, I am the largest in a palace, and no one can really care about me up and down the mountain. ”
Li Fei smiled happily, one walked in the water, the other walked on the shore, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched the figures of the two people long.
On the other side, Song Duofu went to pick fresh mint and wild onions, and Cheng Anguo went with her to pick up firewood, built a fire on the stone bank, hung a copper pot to boil water, and cut out wooden thorns to prepare skewers.
The four of them caught more than 40 field chickens, half stewed and half barbecued, and ate them until the stars twinkled in the sky and returned.
The tents of hundreds of people have been set up to guard the post station, only the patrolling people pass by, Li Fei and Zhao Yanheng still have houses to live in, two stilted buildings in front of the back, green wood and mud tiles.
"It's delivered here. ”
Between the two floors, Li Fei stopped, and as he spoke, the starlight was inverted in his eyes, turning into a small flame jumping briskly.
Zhao Yanheng was looking at it stupidly, how could he be willing to leave like this, took Li Fei's hand and stepped on the empty aisle, his ears could hear the creaking sound under his feet, after a turn, Zhao Yanheng turned around and pressed over, Li Fei took two steps back, and pressed a wooden pole behind his back, Zhao Yanheng wrapped Li Fei's lips, gnawed in a gust of wind and rain, and then let go until his lips were numb: "What are you doing, you want to bring Song Duofu and bring it with you from time to time?"
Li Fei's eyes widened, and he said a little innocently: "Who is with you, it's just that she and I have never left home alone and take care of each other." ”
Zhao Yanheng suddenly had the feeling of lifting a stone to hit his own feet, pecked Li Fei's lips, and said, "Isn't it enough for me to take care of you?"
I'm afraid that you will take care of too much, but Li Fei won't say this sentence, just blinked his eyes, softened his tone and said: "During the day, she and I slept in the carriage a lot, and at night we happened to talk in a bed." ”
"You are the most annoying!" Zhao Yanheng hugged Li Fei, lowered his head slightly, and his eyes were focused and gentle.
Li Fei's face was already red, his eyes were looking elsewhere, and he asked, "We walked for half a month before we walked from Kunming to Anshun, will we walk more slowly?"
"Isn't it good to be slow? It's good to be slow, I would love to walk for three or four months. Zhao Yanheng teased a few words, and then said seriously: "It's okay, I'll just say that my body is not good, I have to walk slowly all the way, and you are a weak woman, there is a summer stroke in July, we will enter Beijing at the end of August, and then it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be ...... I've been in Beijing for half a year. ”
If you hide it, it is Zhao Yanheng's mother Concubine Rou who is pregnant until eight or nine months, whether she gives birth to a prince or a princess, and washes three full moons and 100 days, Li Fei silently calculated in her heart, September and October will soon be next year, so that the days will pass, and half of the nine months will pass, and after nine months, she will come out of the shackles of the Cai family, and then finish the marriage......
Unexpectedly, thinking so far away all of a sudden, Li Fei lowered his head in shame, put his hands on Zhao Yanheng's chest and said softly: "It's late, you can go back." ”
"Tomorrow, let's go to Baishui River to see Bai Lang!" Zhao Yanheng reluctantly let go of Li Fei and stepped back towards Li Fei.
When he arrived at the stilted building in front, Dong Rang's usual hippie smile was replaced by a dignified and stern expression, and gave Zhao Yanheng a letter, saying: "It's a letter from Hu Sanbao, Wu He and Shi have no news for many days, Hu Sanbao went to Yongzhou Mansion, Lu Ping drowned on June 28, and almost at the same time Wu He and Shi August were not known to be alive or dead. ”
Lu Ping is the Xia family that has not died yet!
