The surface of the Tongji Canal is wide, the blue waves are flowing endlessly, and from time to time there are water birds skimming over the water surface, making a clear and clear call. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The river is full of boats. The ship's fleet planted its own flag and sailed the river. Double-storey boats can be seen at any time, and there are even larger three-story boats with the sound of singing and dancing from the boats. Occasionally, you will see a painted boat painted with gold and color, which is the dignitaries and nobles singing and having fun.

From time to time, it can be seen that the literati and madmen dressed in Confucian robes go south on a flat boat, singing on the boat, or dancing with a sword to the moon, or drinking and chanting poems.

The closer you get to Luoyang, the more a heroic atmosphere comes to your face. Those winding rivers belonging to the south of the Yangtze River, and the graceful feelings in the drizzle, were all left far behind by the Xu family's fleet.

Xu Wanzhen stood in the bow of the ship facing the wind, and she will arrive in the capital tomorrow, and she can see the thunderous Luoyang City with her own eyes, and her heart is full of expectation and excitement. What is the difference between this city and Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty? Thinking about the grand occasion when the empress Wu Zetian ordered the peony flowers to bloom in Luoyang, the majestic Ziwei Palace, the magnificent central axis, and the Ming Hall in Luocheng, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is fascinating.

And now it is the Gaomang Dynasty, Wei Taizu has worked hard since the founding of the country, and it is called the country and the people. After the death of Wei Taizu, the crown prince succeeded to the throne and changed the Yuan Yonglong, which has been six years. I don't know where history has forked the road, but the customs, the name of the city, and the clothes and jewelry often make Xu Wanzhen feel like she is in the Tang Dynasty.

Behind him, Xu Wenyu's cheers came. Starting from the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, it is now the sixth day of the fourth month, and with the delay on the way, it has been more than two months of sailing. No matter how beautiful the scenery along the way is, everyone in the Xu family is tired of seeing it, let alone this little guy.

Hearing that he was going ashore tomorrow, Xu Wenyu pestered Mrs. Xu and told the story of the capital. The people of the Xu family, except for Mrs. Xu and Mama Zheng, have never been to the capital, and even Su Liangzhi has never been out of Jiangnan Road at the farthest. Seeing Mrs. Xu talking about the elegance of the capital, they all gathered around to listen.

Recalling the past, Mrs. Xu showed a smile in her eyes and said, "At that time, I was only a little over ten years old, and the first emperor had just founded the country. According to my father, in the last years of the previous dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and he took our family into the mountains to escape the war. I still remember when I was young, my father took my brothers and sisters to read under a big locust tree in the yard and taught us to write with branches. Later, I didn't even know that the world was stable. ”

Xu Wenyu raised his head, his eyes sparkled and asked, "Then what happened later, how did grandmother get to the capital?" This question, the people who surrounded and listened to Mrs. Xu's talk about the ancient times all wanted to know, showing a look of expectation.

Old Madam Xu lovingly stroked the top of Xu Wenyu's head and said, "Your great-grandfather is a great Confucian in the former dynasty. At that time, the world was initially decided, and there was a lack of talents to govern the country, so the first emperor sent people to look for the literati of the previous dynasty. One of them found our family and invited your great-grandfather out of the mountain to be the head of the household. Later, when he was older, he was promoted to the priest of the country and educated the students. ”

Xu Wenyu had an expression of adoration on his face, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said, "Yu'er really wants to see his great-grandfather immediately!" Xu Wanzhen was fascinated when she heard it, her great-grandfather had such a legendary life.

But if the emperor is really unpredictable, look at the Tu family, his great-grandfather was a great Confucian in the previous dynasty, a scholar of the household department, and a priest of the country. Looking at the present, after being belittled, he was not hired, the eldest daughter was widowed, the second daughter married into a Jiangnan merchant, and the only son is only an official to the fifth grade. Although the "Songxi Academy" opened by his great-grandfather made students rush to study, compared with the glory of the year, the Tu family is in decline, and the elite class in the capital is no longer ranked.

I don't know what happened back then. The first emperor's methods were mastered, demoting his great-grandfather to an official, but acquiescing to him opening a academy. It was only now that Emperor Yonglong was re-energized.

Old Madam Xu said happily: "Yu'er will be able to see you tomorrow, when the time comes, you must bow well and ask your great-grandfather for advice." ”

Xu Wenyu nodded again and again, and replied crisply: "When Yu'er grows up, she will be as powerful as her great-grandfather!"

Hearing his determination, Mrs. Xu nodded with satisfaction.

Shadow Wind was still pretending to be a long-time follower, sitting cross-legged in the cabin, he was concentrating on cultivation. Martial arts together, like a boat going upstream, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Qian Feng stood on the bow of the boat, called to see the scenery, but in fact it was the shadow wind protector.

Hearing a crack in the cabin, he knew that Shadow Wind had finished his work and bent down into the cabin.

I'm going to the capital tomorrow, and I'm in a good mood. It has been more than five months since I left Beijing in the late autumn of the old year, and I will be able to rush back before the deadline of half a year.

He had already received the news that Feng Jiu had arrived safely at the Shadow Guard Headquarters, and as long as he entered the Headquarters, no one would be able to threaten him. That part of the evidence is safe, and as long as you reach it, you can give your voice to the Lord. I believe that the importance of this information is enough to promote myself to the commander of the shadow guard.

Qian Feng Shili said: "My lord, after entering the city, I will listen to the instructions in the 'Hefeng' cloth village. "The Qian family's business is mainly in Gangnam Province. In the capital, there is only one cloth village. Qian Feng entered Beijing this time, one is to cover for the shadow wind, and this time he can get the evidence, he has made great efforts, and he also has the meaning of waiting for a reward in the capital; the second is to expand the business of the Qian family, and wants to open a semicolon of the "Hefeng" dart bureau in the capital, and the capital has a semicolon to dart in the whole Gaomang; third, by the way, escort Xu Wanzhen to Beijing. The Xu family is all old and weak, women and children, and he really can't rest assured.

The Xu family married Su Zhiqing as their daughter-in-law, and after getting married, Qian Feng saw her live happily with his own eyes. But Xu Changzong also caused her early death, so Qian Feng's feelings for the Xu family are complicated, which is why when the Wang family took action against the Xu family, he stood by and watched. But since he met Xu Wanzhen and Xu Wenyu, these two sisters and brothers are the continuation of Zhiqing's bloodline, the elder sister is smart and independent, and the younger brother is innocent and cute, so he can no longer rest assured and can't sit idly by.

Fortunately, fortunately he came, otherwise Xu Wan would be in danger, and the Xu family would be isolated in Yangzhou City. Even if Xu Wanzhen successfully escaped from the Yin family's big ship, it would be difficult to hide her identity. If outsiders know that Xu Wanzhen has been taken away, her reputation will be ruined, and it will be difficult to find a good family in the future.

The Xu family had already arranged for their family in advance, took a fast boat, and returned to Tu's house on the outskirts of Beijing to report the news.

That night, Xu Wanzhen lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. It has been more than half a year since she crossed over, and the capital is a completely unfamiliar place for her.

The Tu family is a big family, just the immediate family, and there are two cousins and two cousins of her generation. Don't know what kind of people they are?

Before leaving, my grandmother mentioned that my great-grandfather was ill, so I don't know if I am better now?

Also, that mysterious man Wu Zhengxiang, what does he look like? Under what circumstances will we meet? Thinking of him, Xu Wanzhen's heart is like a deer, and she is ashamed and a little expectant.

It wasn't until the sky was getting bright that Xu Wanzhen fell asleep.
