“…… Wusa belongs to Wumeng Mansion, Wumeng is located at the intersection of Yunnan, Guizhou and Shu, with Qujing in the south, Liangshan in Shu in the west, and Yibin in the north...... Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'the key to South Yunnan, the throat of West Shu',"

On the official road, more than a dozen carriages slowly traveled south, flanked by guards on high horses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In a group of carriages, in an unobtrusive carriage, two women were chatting with great interest, and there were two maids on the side.

This carriage looks ordinary on the outside, but there is something else on the inside.

The walls of the carriages on all sides are wrapped with a layer of auspicious brocade with auspicious dark patterns such as agarwood embroidered Ruyi and treasure vase, and the satin is filled with thick cotton.

The carriage is very spacious, divided into two large and small rooms by a sliding door, the one near the wheel is slightly larger, and the left and right sides of the carriage against the wall are long seats, which are covered with thick cushions and a few soft and comfortable cushions.

There is a small table in the middle of the seat, the table can be folded, the table is embedded with magnets, and the porcelain placed on the table is specially customized, no matter how bumpy the carriage is, the porcelain will not shake at will on the table.

The one near the back of the carriage is smaller and can only accommodate one person sitting in it.

In the small room, there is a small red clay stove, a copper kettle, a small casserole and other cooking utensils, and a basket of fine silver frost charcoal is stacked in the corner.

The little maid in the emerald dress, with a double bun on her head and a small fan in her hand, was looking intently at the kettle boiling on the stove.

In the next room, a soft female voice continued: "Although Wumeng is remote, the scenery is pleasant, and there are several places worth seeing. For example, 'rhinoceros looking at the moon', this is still the ...... in the Western Han Dynasty"

In the eyes of the Central Plains people at that time, Yunnan was definitely a barren and backward barbaric land.

However, in the minds of the natives, it is home to beautiful mountains and rivers.

It was Meng Fu's wife Duan who spoke, who, like Meng Fu, moved to Yunnan when her family was an ancestor, was born and raised in Yunnan, and had long regarded this land as her hometown in her heart.

When talking about the customs and scenery of mountains and rivers in Yunnan, the words unconsciously reveal an inexplicable pride and intimacy.

"Longquan water is clear and transparent, quenching thirst and expectorant, drinking it in one sip, like drinking ganlin, the whole body is calm......"

Duan was born in Qujing, and she is very familiar with Wumeng next door, and after she married Meng Fu, she followed her husband to read for a few days, and her knowledge was much better than that of ordinary women.

After Qi Jin and his party left the capital, Gu Jialuo often invited Duan to his carriage to chat and listen to her tell stories about the Dian land (mainly Wusa).

The Duan clan was originally worried that Gu Jialuo would be of noble birth and would look down on them as dirt buns from a wild place, so he chatted with Gu Jialuo a few times, only to find out that this Gu Grandma was an extremely good talker.

Elegant manners, decent speech, every word and deed is so noble and beautiful, but not half arrogant and indifferent.

It was only at this time that the Duan clan understood that the so-called 'nobleness' was not a high chin raised, let alone an eye in the eyes, but an elegant indifference integrated into the bones.

This is the real noble daughter of the family.

And the wives of wealthy businessmen and county grandmothers she had seen were just nouveau riche in Dongshi.

Gu Jialuo's attitude was amiable, and the Duan family let go of his worries and told her everything he knew in detail.

"There is an outcropping rock in the big dragon cave, which looks like a rhinoceros and looks up at the top of the cave, so it is called 'rhinoceros looking at the moon'. This stone is also called 'beggar stone' by the servants in ancient times, and there is a record in the "Taiping Yulan", saying that the servants often came to the cave to touch the stone beggars in ancient times. Legend has it that if you touch a woman who touches the 'beggar stone', she will be able to give birth to a fat doll in the coming year......

Duan talked eloquently.

Gu Jialuo smiled when he heard this, "There is such a spirit stone? When I get to Umon, I'm going to go and see it. By the way, Mrs. Duan, what's the weather like over there? I've heard that the climate in the south is warm, and it doesn't snow in winter. ”

In fact, Gu Jialuo knew very well what the climate of Yunnan was, and in the four years of her later life, she read a lot.

But she is now a noble lady who has never been out of the capital, and she has read a few books, but she doesn't understand it as well as the locals.

Duan said: "The climate in Yunnan is indeed warm, but the climate of Wumeng is somewhat special, there are many mountains, few dams, dry in the south and wet in the north, and it is colder in winter, which is similar to the late winter and early spring in the capital. ”

Gu Jialuo nodded, and asked again: "There are many mountains?" Isn't the mountain over there very high? ”

If she remembers correctly, the altitude of the Umeng region is relatively high, and I don't know if there will be altitude sickness after going.

Duan nodded: "There are many mountains and semi-mountains over there, and some mountains are very high, such as Wutong Mountain, which stands tall and high into the clouds......"

The hot water in the small room was boiling, and the little maid in Cuiyi gently knocked on the sliding door of the cubicle, "Grandma, the hot water is ready!" ”

Duan stopped talking for the time being.

Gu Jialuo let out an 'um'.

The little maid pushed open the sliding door, took a cotton towel to cushion her hands, and walked over with a kettle.

Hot water is slowly poured into the sweet white porcelain tea bowl, the green tea leaves slowly stretch out, and the faint fragrance of tea wafts along with the heat of the tea.

The little maid serving on the other side brought a plum blossom box, and in the box was a few snacks made half an hour ago.

It's mid-April, it's almost early summer, and as the trip progresses, they get closer and closer to the south, and the temperature is getting warmer.

This snack has been left for half an hour, but it has not yet cooled, and it is just the right time to enter the mouth.

Gu Jialuo invited Mrs. Duan to have refreshments.

The two have been together for half a month, and they have long been familiar with each other, Duan Shi was not polite, thanked him, and twisted up a piece of rose crystal rice cake.

I have to say that Gu Jialuo's attitude towards her was too kind, and the Duan family often forgot that the other party was the identity of the Miss Guogongfu.

But every time it was time for refreshments, seeing those delicate, delicious and exquisite snacks, Duan remembered that the beautiful woman in front of him was not an ordinary person, but a famous lady from a prominent family.

…… Tsk, obviously he went to work with his husband, but he was still very particular.

What delicate snacks, what fresh vegetables and fruits, what meat, eggs, poultry and fish, what spring water to cook tea, along the way, Grandma Gu rarely eats outside.

In the whole process, only the stove and firewood of the post house or inn were borrowed, and the rest was ...... Even the pots, kettles, and even spices are prepared at home.

Duan's eyes were opened, and he was also full.

That's it, the Duan family already feels that they are exquisite and extravagant enough, and the big girl who favors the eldest grandmother occasionally complains in private: "This is too simple, I really wronged the uncle and the grandmother." ”

Duan: "......"

Eating delicious snacks and drinking the best tribute tea cooked with mountain spring water, the two continued to chat.

"What's so rare there? I've heard that there are many birds and animals in the mountains. Gu Jialuo put down the tea bowl and pressed the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

Duan said: "We do have many wild things that are rarely seen in the north, such as monkeys, elephants, and peacocks...... There are some wild things that only we have. ”

The pride in my hometown is indescribable.

Gu Jialuo continued to ask with interest.

The wheels of the carriage turned, the scenery outside the window began to change, and the content of the conversation between the two became more and more concrete, from the topography to the customs and specialties, with Duan's explanation, Gu Jialuo's impression of Yunnan became three-dimensional.

In addition, Zhou Wenyuan's wife occasionally came over to talk about some parents, and the three women were not lonely along the way.

In the evening, the convoy arrived at the inn before dark.

Qi Jinzhi took Qi Jingui and Sun Dabao to deal with the errand of the post house, while Gu Jialuo and several other female dependents went to the guest room to settle down.

The bedding of the post house was put aside, and the bedding for their own use was changed, and the mothers-in-law went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare meals, and the maids went in and out to clean up the room.

Half an hour later, Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo had dinner, the two said a few words, and Qi Jinzhi went to Zhou Wenyuan to talk to Meng Fu.

Gu Jialuo was alone in the room and called Feng and Yu's two housekeepers to ask questions.

"Grandma, there's a letter from Kyori!"

Gu Jialuo sent the two housekeepers, and Ziwei walked in with a carrier pigeon.

This carrier pigeon is raised by the Gu family, specially used to contact with the Liaodong camp or wartime, Gu Jialuo went to the southwest, thousands of miles away from the capital, in order to facilitate communication, he deliberately went back to his mother's house to ask for one.

Gu Jialuo took the note, unfolded it, and quickly swept the lines of words on it, and couldn't help but smile on his lips.

Seeing this, Ziwei vaguely guessed a few points, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice, "But what is the good news?" ”

It has been almost a year since she came to Gu Jialuo's side to serve, and Ziwei was gradually introduced by Gu Jialuo as a confidant because of her gentle temperament and steady behavior, and she inevitably knew some of the master's 'secrets'.

Gu Jialuo didn't hide it from Ziwei, "The big gifts I gave them, they have already received them." ”

Yao Xiruo and her lover cousin 'met in a different place', and when they secretly went to the teahouse for a 'private meeting', they were seen, and there were suddenly unbearable rumors about 'the affair of a certain goddess doctor surnamed Yao'.

The eldest princess was furious after inquiring, and immediately accepted Yao Xiruo's housekeeping rights, and circled her in the courtyard to think about it.

Gu Lin was sold two properties one after another by her henchman 'Gu's mother', both of which were the most valuable in her marriage, and the total direct loss was not less than 10,000 taels of silver.

Gu Lin was angry, anxious and distressed, and fell ill right away.

What makes her heart most stuffed is that she lost two cash cows for nothing, but she doesn't even know who is behind it.

made Gu Lin now a soldier, and none of the people around him dared to believe it easily, and everyone felt that there was a problem.

As for Qi Mianzhi, he hooked up with a beautiful little beauty, and it was easy to coax the beauty to allow him to get close, but he was blocked in the restaurant at a critical time.

It is said that the innocent little beauty is not a young lady who has not left the cabinet, but the fiancée of a captain of the Praetorian Guard.

hooked up with someone's fiancée, and was successfully caught and raped by the bitter lord on the spot, tsk, in less than half a day's effort, Qi Mianzhi's romantic name resounded in the inner city.

This is nothing, what made 'Dong Qi' vomit blood the most was that the benevolent brother who was cuckolded bit Qi Mian alive, or the eldest princess gave up a lot of money, and said good things in the middle of the search, so the captain agreed to 'private'......
