Out of the city, the two teams formed a team and slowly walked north. Xiaoyu looked at the flowers and trees on the side of the road, and her heart gradually became wider. In the end, he was still young and didn't think about it, and he and Yang Baochen galloped a few times, and the depression in his heart slowly dissipated.

The fifth brother introduced Tang Luanyi, Lu Ziqi, and Chen Heming to Xu Liangqi. Xu Liangqi was so happy that he danced, and his heart that originally wanted to make friends with Xiaoyu was also light. A few scholars are in one place, and they have to give some guidance. Sun Haoran couldn't help but be a little embarrassed at first because of his mother, so he listened to them alone. When everyone talked about the excitement, he was also a high-spirited bloody man, and soon joined in without any worries.

Lu Sanniang was also very happy to see that Xianggong had found a new friend, so she greeted him as if she was riding in a car. The two sisters reunited after a long absence, and everyone met in a hurry yesterday, and they didn't have time to elaborate on the scene after parting. It was as if he had to say a few words about the tragic situation of the Sun family after the death of the Sun prefect, saying that the lonely Lingding was looted by the homeless, and Lu Sanniang also sighed and lost a few tears. Lu Sanniang also talked about some old things in Jiangnan, and when she talked about Wanyin, she was helpless: "Finally, my mother often sent people over to greet her, and she gave birth to another son, which can barely stand still." Alas, when the news of my uncle arrived, she had just become pregnant, and she was frightened day by day, and the child was very weak when she was born. ”

The second sister-in-law laughed secretly in her heart when she heard this: "You still say that he is strong, but his father still thinks he is too delicate." But he said: "Our scholarly children, don't take the martial arts test, what's the use of being so powerful." ”

Lu Sanniang couldn't help but ask: "Why did you give you to him, it's not that it's not bad, look at his fifth brother is also a gentleman." ”

As if pursing his lips and smiling, he lowered his head and said: "He is also a Sven Zhili, but he gave up his martial arts for the sake of his family." After thinking about it, he was afraid that she would misunderstand, and hurriedly clarified: "This is my own choice, not forced by anyone." It's just that she secretly cried last night, and today when she saw that her second brother was still worried about Xiaoyu, she inevitably felt a little jealous in her heart.

Lu Sanniang is not such an eyeless person, so she didn't ask, but comforted: "I can bear it when I look at it." I think you're relieved. ”

As if squinting his eyes, he seemed to think back to the past: "I can't imagine that you and the Xu family have become successful, why did your mother finally change her mind?"

Lu Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled: "That nerd begged his mother every now and then, although his family is a side branch, in the end it is a member of the Xu family, and my mother is not too embarrassed." It's hard to grind out of water. My mother-in-law said that her face in this life was folded for her daughter-in-law. ”

As if seeing her lightness, she knew that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were harmonious: "How can your mother-in-law be willing to let you come to the Northland, I have no choice but to do it, and the second brother's net worth is here." ”

Lu Sanniang's face showed a look of disdain: "It's not what a few uncles mean, we can't help it, Brother Liangqi's father can't count on it." Liangqi is also fighting this time, I... You know... Alas... Now I'm satisfied with being in one place. I don't want anything else. ”

As if thinking about it, he said gloomily: "That's right, a few of us have played since we were children, but we didn't expect it." Wanyin got married in such a hurry. Do you still remember that Li Shuangqiu, the daughter of Lord Tongzhi, was the most lively, lovely, and cute? Her father was also quite implicated at that time, and asked a friend to send her back to Jiangnan. Do you have any news of her?"

Lu Sanniang shook her head: "How could I forget her, it's just that if she really comes back, she will have a few families in Jiangnan." It's really funny to say, although the front is tight, but the south is far away from the war after all, not to mention drunk life and dreams, poetry meetings, and flower viewing are still constant. I've always met her once or twice, but I've never heard of her in the south. ”

As if listening to the young man outside dominating the world, he couldn't help but sigh, and Lu Sanniang was also a little bored.

Lu Sanniang thought for a while and said, "Back then, the Li family wanted her to climb the side branch of the Yicheng Wang family. You also know that the Wang family is the queen mother's mother's family, I heard that when the queen mother was young, she was resourceful and did not lose to men. The Chen family, the queen's mother's family, has been crushed to death by the Wang family so far, and I heard that the Wang Chen family in the capital is also turbulent. I really don't know what these two families are earning, but today's decree is the same every day. Alas!"

Along the way, the young people sang and sang freely, and time passed quickly, and when it was time to eat, they did not go to the restaurant. Everyone sat on the floor and boiled some hot tea with dry food. With tea and wine, pushing the cup for a cup is actually very lively.

Zhang Xiangcheng is a businessman, although he envies these scholars in his heart, he doesn't make fun of them. He inquired about King Yi's fief in Licheng, and in the past few years, he has been politically harmonious and has a hundred industries to be prosperous, so he discussed with the fifth brother to buy a few large cars of paint, and hired a few people to follow the second brother's convoy to Hanyu Pass to sell.

The second brother was afraid that Xiaoyu would miss his father, so he talked to Xiaoyu about the cold land, it turned out that there were several small passes outside the Hanyu Pass, and until the last big pass was the fief of King Yi. After the mouth of Tatar, they are all people of Xidu, and the people there are very warm and rude, and whatever you like, no matter what you think, you have to send it to you to share it with you to be a good friend. If you accidentally offend him, you will have to fight with your life before you give up.

"It's cold there, and men and women drink well. One day I went to be a guest, and the host opened a jar of good wine, and as soon as I came up, I first dried three bowls as a tribute. I was able to drink but I didn't dare to drink so quickly, and they didn't care, and when they saw that my wine was gone, they filled it for me, and everyone sang and danced when they drank it. The second brother's gaze seemed to follow the straight official road to a friend's house.

Xiaoyu thought about the second brother's dancing and couldn't help but giggle.

When they were about to arrive at a village in the evening, the fifth brother walked ahead and saw a man with a narrow face sitting on the side of the road wearing a white-washed coarse cloth dress. The fifth brother didn't know him, and when he saw that he was walking alone, he nodded to him and said hello. However, Xu Liangqi recognized that this was the puppeteer that Xiaoyu had offended, and couldn't help but look at it twice. The man immediately raised his eyebrows and looked back, and Xu Liangqi couldn't help but shrink in fright when he saw his sharp eyes. hurriedly talked to the fifth brother about Xiaoyu picking his puppet yesterday: "I see that he has never ridden a horse, but he will walk in front of us." ”

Although Xiaoyu followed the second brother to walk behind, he had already caught a glimpse of the fifth brother frequently looking behind the passers-by, and couldn't help but look over, although he was startled when he only saw a silhouette, and slipped to the other side of the carriage with a shake of the reins. The second brother laughed at her for being timid, and she muttered: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Then the man beat his horse and galloped to the front.

Fang Zhun called Xiaoyu to the front to find a place to stay, and the two of them traveled all the way for more than half an hour, asking around before finding a small temple that could accommodate so many people. Fortunately, the monk here and Xiao Shami were very talkative, and Xiao Yu and Brigadier Fang cleaned up the courtyard and unloaded the threshold to let a few big cars in.

In the evening, the second brother was not at ease and arranged more people to arrange for a vigil. Because the fifth brother had mixed in the yamen and spoke in an old-fashioned manner, Xu Liangqi could always hear some interesting market anecdotes, so he volunteered to keep time with the fifth brother. Xiaoyu looked at the second sister-in-law and Lu Sanniang, and secretly thought that they would reunite after a long absence, but they were afraid that they would have a lot to say, why should they be caught in it. asked Mrs. Lu pitifully if she could sleep in the car with her, but Mrs. Lu only thought that she missed Mrs. Xiaoxia, so naturally she would not refuse.

Xiaoyu was still a little worried about the narrow-faced man, but she didn't see the person go to the temple to spend the night until she fell asleep, and it didn't hurt if he slept alone.

At night, Xu Liangqi chatted with the fifth brother near the gate and kept vigil: "I don't know what the plan of the world brother is when he arrives in the north?"

The fifth brother dialed the bonfire in front of him, and his eyes were reflected by the flames as bright as stars in the sky: "I used to be in charge of the clerical work in the county for a while, and I wanted to do something about it. ”

Xu Liangqi nodded, lowered his voice and said, "I think Brother Xia Shi is a character, but it's a pity that the foundation is too shallow. At this time, the imperial court is not stable, otherwise if you go to the imperial examination and have a teacher, you can support each other in the same year."

The fifth brother nodded yes. After chatting like this for a while, I talked about several major families. The fifth brother couldn't help but ask: "The Wuyang Tang family doesn't know what kind of family it is?"

Xu Liangqi said: "This is Tang Xiandi's family, do you know what is going on in his family?"

The fifth brother shook his head.

Xu Liangqi smiled mysteriously, thought for a while and then lowered his voice and said, "Do you know Tang Beiran?"

The fifth brother couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that Tang Luanyi and Tang Beiran were clan relatives.

Xu Liangqi didn't expect that the fifth brother would actually know Tang Beiran.

The fifth brother smiled: "I often see it in the newspaper. Alas, if you could listen to him today, where would there be such a situation today. “

Xu Liangqi pondered gloomily: "Today, there is more than enough loyalty, but not enough resourcefulness. I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck. But he said, "Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have." This is also common sense. ”

The fifth brother asked again: "I don't know that Tang Beiran and Brother Luan Yi are the same branch." ”

Xu Liangqi's face was wrinkled, and he hesitated for a moment before whispering: "He seems to be Uncle Tang's youngest son." ”

The fifth brother was shocked when he heard this, is the secret road capital already like this? I also remembered what my mother said that the major clans in the world are intertwined, that is, my mother's family is full of beheadings, and the clansmen in the northwest are only implicated in a few big branches of officials. This Brother Xu's family opened a academy to clear the door of the world's famous families, and he hesitated in his heart, should he ask a few words about the Luo family?

Xu Liangqi saw that he was silent and thought about it, and said, "Uncle Tang has always been at odds with Brother Tang. ”

The fifth brother hurriedly replied: "It's no wonder, it's just that I was very angry when I saw Lord Tang being snubbed, let alone him." ”

The fifth brother pressed down to inquire about the Luo family's thoughts and asked, "I just don't know something. Why is it that the decrees of the present day are erratic, sometimes modest and respectful, sometimes too harsh, I don't know why?"
