From Lingzhou to Chang'an is all the way to the south, about a thousand miles away, the carriage takes the official road, walks during the day, rests at night, and has to walk for eight or nine days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Guangbi was in Chang'an when he first entered the official career, and he served in the Yulin Army for two or three years at that time, and Mrs. Wang was also Na's concubine at that time, and they returned to the northwest together after giving birth to Li Hui.

Since then, Li Guangbi has been to Chang'an twice when the court summoned him, and Li Hui has never set foot in Chang'an since he was born. Therefore, this trip to Chang'an is fresh and exciting for father and son.

Speaking of which, this long-distance journey is also the longest time that Li Guangbi and Li Hui spend alone together. Li Hui was respectful in the carriage, and Li Guangbi didn't say much.

The driver is called Da Chun, who is the brother of Xiao Chun, the personal maid of Mrs. Li in the house, who is tall and strong in his early thirties. Li Guangbi has a thrifty personality, and there are not many maids in the family, so one is used for the top one, and when he went out this time, he brought one over.

Out of the boundary of Lingzhou, the time is noon, Da Chun who is driving the car estimates that the nearest post house on the official road is afraid that it will take two hours, and at this time there are also people and horses, so he asked carefully in the carriage, "Lang Jun, the post house is afraid that it will take two hours, now why don't you find a spacious place, we will stop and eat something, and the horse will also rest." ”

Li Guangbi opened the curtain and looked at it, and at this time, there was also a carriage running on the official road, and there was no village or shop around, so he ordered, "Then find a place with lush grass to rest, let the horses go to eat some grass, and we will also rest and eat something." ”

The carriage was stopped, and the three of them ate casually on the car, drank a few sips of water, and Da Chun saw that the grass on the slope in front of him was growing well, so he led the horse over, and Li Guangbi and Li Hui were tired of sitting, so they leaned on the side of the carriage to rest.

At this time, Li Guangbi looked at Li Hui, remembered the behavior and look of the Fugu Coral who gave him the sachet in the morning, and asked casually as if he was careless, "Hui'er, what's the matter with you and the little lady of the Fugu family?" ”

Li Hui was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect his father to ask about this, no wonder, the act of servant Gu Coral in the morning was indeed too public, so he replied casually, "It's nothing, it's just that she took her to the post before, she just wants to express her gratitude." ”

Li Guangbi nodded, sighed lightly and said, "The three of you brothers are actually not young, and they have indeed reached the age when they should marry wives. It's just Hui'er, I hope you still focus on the imperial examination, not to mention that your two brothers haven't married a wife yet, so don't be in a hurry. ”

Li Hui smiled awkwardly, and explained in a calm tone, "Father, don't worry, I really don't have that plan now, I don't have that kind of mind for Fugu Coral, my brothers haven't married wives, and I haven't done a weak crown ceremony here, so I won't be in a hurry." ”

"You're not interesting to the servant lady, I look at her and treat you unusually, if it's not interesting, you better pay attention, don't let the girl misunderstand." Li Guangbi raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Hui.

Li Hui heard a hint of blame from it. Li Guangbi advocates a pure heart and few desires, and he is not used to seeing the groups of wives and concubines of men, and thinks that they are playthings and cause trouble. He himself had a wife and a concubine, and his wife died, and he had no intention of marrying another.

He usually manages his son strictly, and Xiaolangjun of other people's families is also taken care of by a maidservant, and the three brothers are family members except for their mother-in-law, so they have never made peachy news. In the morning, Fugu Coral's behavior towards Li Hui made his father suspicious, so he asked and didn't want his son to make a fuss.

Li Hui had no choice but to promise his father earnestly that he would pay attention to his words and deeds to reduce unnecessary misunderstandings.

After a while, Da Chun came back with a well-fed horse, and the three of them casually greeted each other and embarked on the journey south to Chang'an.

In October, the days and nights in the northwest are getting shorter and longer. In order to speed up the carriage, Li Guangbi often urged him to set off from the post house as soon as it was dawn.

The official road is generally built on the gentle terrain, where there is a hillside, it is also a road along the slope below, the narrowest place, almost can pass the next carriage, a distance apart, there is a post station, the small post station can rest your feet, the larger post station can also eat a hot meal, wash your face.

After eight or nine days, it was only half a day's journey from Chang'an. However, the road is indeed a little more difficult than before, there are some roads next to the cliffs, some of which have cliffs next to them, and you have to be careful that there are gravel falling on the mountains.

Da Chun is the family member in charge of running errands in the Li Mansion, and he is basically allowed to do things when he goes out in the house, so he is the most skilled in driving and familiar with some road conditions, which saves Li Guangbi and his son a lot of worry.

The carriage passed into a big mountain, and the official road also rose and fell along the mountain, and the road narrowed, and Da Chun could only slow down, carefully pulling the reins to control the direction, and the cliff next to the road became steeper and steeper.

At this time, only to hear Da Chun's "Yu ----", he suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the horse. It turned out that not far from the road ahead, a carriage was parked there, and there were two people standing next to the car.

"Lang Jun, there is a carriage in front of you that is parked in the middle of the road, blocking the road." Daharu reported into the car.

When Li Guangbi and Li Hui heard the news, they couldn't sit still, so Li Guangbi ordered Dachun to stay and watch the car, and led Li Hui forward to check what was going on.

Next to the carriage, standing with a sad face were two young men with a beard, judging from the brocade patterns on the robes, they should also be from a wealthy family.

One was wearing a crimson robe, about the age of a weak crown, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose, sharp eyes, and a gorgeous robe with a sachet and jade plate, and a delicate short sword. Naturally, it has a luxurious atmosphere.

The one standing next to him was wearing a black robe, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, tall and sturdy, with slender Danfeng eyes, wheat-colored skin, and the most eye-catching thing was that he was wearing a treasure knife, and the glass decorated with the handle was shining.

When they saw someone coming, the black-robed man took the initiative to talk to them.

The red robe is his master, they are from Huifu, to go to Chang'an, when they walked to this mountain road, they encountered a few rocks rolling down the mountain and smashed the carriage and the horse, the horse was not seriously injured, but injured the leg, can stand there, let alone run, it is difficult to walk. The car was also smashed on a wheel.

"It is said that this is not too far from Chang'an, take a walk, and it is estimated that you can also get there the day after tomorrow. It's just that tomorrow my master will have to report to the Guozijian. The black-robed man sighed and said to Li Guangbi and his son.

"You also go to the Guozijian! That's a coincidence. Li Hui's expression lit up, and he said with a little surprise and surprise.
