Chapter 85: Leaving Home (2)

After a day's journey, I passed through both sides of the Huai River and arrived at Xuzhou Mansion in the evening.

Xuzhou Mansion is also called Pengcheng, there is the Huai River in the south, the Yellow River in the north, the special geographical location, it is a city that is neither south nor north. It is known as "the key to the north" and "the important town of the south", so it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

These were told by Chen Qi'an to Chen Xuejiao, and Master Qin nodded slightly.

Chen Xuejiao was in the carriage, hearing the noise and shouting outside, and the familiar dialect revealed the prosperous atmosphere.

She was confused in her heart, and there was a feeling of being closer to home and more timid.

This is the hometown of her previous life, she was born and raised in Sri Lanka. The wheel of time has brought her into a strange time, and the only thing she is glad for is that this place is her hometown in her previous life.

Open the curtain and look carefully outside, the streets are antique, silver buildings, tea shops, green buildings, shops, all show the prosperity of this city. Today's Xuzhou Mansion is the fief of King Peng, he is the most favored prince of the first emperor, the first emperor Dragon Emperor returned to heaven before holding the hand of the current saint to let him treat King Peng well, it is said that the people of the city are now directly controlled by King Peng, do not need to hand over to the imperial court. This shows the benevolence of the saints to King Peng today.

As the carriage creaked forward, Chen Xuejiao looked out with wide eyes, hoping to find a familiar street scene in her previous life.

She used to live on this land, kindergarten, elementary school, high school, and even college, and never left it. Her parents, relatives, and friends, are now standing on the giant wheel of time and space, living with her, but they are parallel, so eternal life will never be seen again.

Thinking like this, my heart tingles slightly. The corners of his eyes sparkled.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he found that Gu Siyuan, who was riding on the horse, was looking at him inquiringly. Gu Siyuan is a handsome young man, because it is cold in the late autumn. Dressed in a thin crane, he sweated on horseback. Unbuttoned the crane and draped it casually over his shoulders. With a chic and uninhibited ancient rhyme, like a pair of wild grass that has not dried in ink, it is elegant, and there is no elegant grace.

He found a lot of him up and down Chen Xuejiao, and smiled at Chen Xuejiao, his eyes were very bright, with a clear light. It is like the stars in the sky, and when you look at it, you can see the bottom of people's hearts.

Chen Xuejiao found that he was laughing, nodded slightly, blushed slightly, and didn't know how to continue to look at the bustling shops outside.

“…… I heard that King Peng is a very ambitious person, and looking at the weather of Xuzhou Mansion, it can be seen that the legend is not false. Chen Qi'an walked by the bank of the Huai River, and he was reluctant to sit in the carriage, and sat outside with Li Yuntian to escort the carriage.

Gu Siyuan smiled faintly when he heard this, and Huang Sanlang frowned slightly. The expressions of the two sons of Gu and Huang were clearly seen by Chen Xuejiao. I'm afraid that this King Peng is not simple, racking my brains to turn over history, and I want to turn out the silhouette of this King Peng. But nothing was found. Originally, history is the imagination of future generations, and when you integrate into this era, you find that what future generations know about history is only the tip of the iceberg.

Master Qin sat in the carriage, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked unfazed, and listened to Chen Qi'an's words: "What outsiders say is not true, nor is it true." ”

They did not rest on this journey, drinking water from the pot when they were thirsty, and eating dry cakes made by the Li family when they were hungry. Master Qin was holding a cowhide bag and drinking. Gu Huang's two sons, dressed beautifully. has an extraordinary temperament, and he doesn't wrinkle his eyebrows when he eats dry cakes. Such a strong and a big year had a good impression of the two of them, and kept asking them what they had seen and heard from the Beijing division all the way, and even exchanged horses with them to ride.

When they arrived at Xuzhou Mansion, they decided to stay overnight on their way.

I found an inn near the Drum Tower.

The Drum Tower is a familiar place for Chen Xuejiao in her previous life, and there are many delicacies here, when she was in college, she often skipped class with her roommates to eat food here.

asked for four rooms, Li Yuntian, Da Zhuang, Da Nian father and son, Gu Huang's two sons, Qin master Chen Qi'an, and Chen Xuejiao alone. Li Yuntian went to check out and found that the account had been settled by Gu Siyuan, so he smiled and said that it was too expensive to live in such an inn, he usually went to sell dry goods, and when it was dark, he hid in a carriage in a secluded place on the outskirts of the city and slept for a night, and sometimes it was common to spend a night in the wilderness.

After a brief rest, it's time for dinner.

Master Qin ordered a private room, asked for the dishes, and brought pear blossom stuffed by himself. Master Qin loves fine wine, and he carries his wine jug with him wherever he goes.

After the meal was served, I was hungry after a day of walking, and I began to eat. Li Yuntian is a rough man, but he has traveled south and north to see a wide range of knowledge, speaks funny and refreshing, and when he sees a great Confucian like Master Qin in time, he is neither humble nor arrogant, Master Qin has a good impression of him, and the two chatted happily at the dinner table.

Suddenly, there was a noise next door, followed by the breaking of cups and saucers, the sound of slaps, the crying of girls, and the angry theories of middle-aged men.

“…… I took the little girl to sell music, ate with my strength, and did not accompany the guests. The middle-aged man's iron-clad voice.

"Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink, you don't go to inquire, who is Lao Tzu, even King Peng Cheng will give me three points of face when he sees me." A man said viciously.

“…… Who is so arrogant that King Peng also has to give three points of face. Gu Siyuan said lightly.

"Why don't you go and see, I hear the cry of a weak woman." Chen Qi'an was a little enthusiastic.

Li Dazhuang and Li Danian are a few years older than them, and they are also simple in nature, and after listening to Chen Qi'an's words, they www.biquge.info a little bit of fun.

A few boys got up and went to the box next door, and Chen Xuejiao followed.

When I opened the door of the box, I saw a mess everywhere, broken dishes and flasks. A man of about twenty sat at the table, quite handsome, but his eyes were turning obscenely. There was a circle of men sitting around him, and on each man's lap sat a charming girl, and the scene was extremely beautiful.

There were two people standing below, a middle-aged man, who had been slapped in the face, and was pressed by a strong man who couldn't move, and the corners of his mouth were bloody. There was a girl beside the man, twelve or thirteen years old, born white and pretty, wearing a half-worn green jacket, combing double snails, holding a piano in her hand, and her face was full of tears.

"Beat, give me a beating." The man at the top ordered the strong man fiercely.

The strong man raised his fist and was about to hit the middle-aged man, but the man stalked his neck and did not avoid it, and the moment his fist fell, he was caught by Gu Siyuan.

"What kind of ability is a group of people bullying a weak woman!" Gu Siyuan said lightly, showing a disdainful look at his young age.

"Ouch. Where did the wild boy come from, dare to block the good deeds of the master. The man at the top saw a few half-grown children rushing in at the door, and his eyes showed disdain.

The strong man is going to hit Gu Siyuan with his backhand. was grabbed by Gu Siyuan and slapped twice.

Everyone sitting there was stunned. I didn't expect this little boy to be quick and ruthless.

"What's going on?" Gu Siyuan looked at the girl holding the guqin.

"Thank you for the rescue." The middle-aged man saw that Gu Siyuan was young, but his temperament had a sense of overpowering the city, so he said, "I took the little girl to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, and the silver was stolen, so I had to sell my art with the little girl to earn some money for the journey home." ”

The middle-aged man looked sad, and his back straightened: "It's hard for a little girl." All are fathers, no. But they insisted that the little girl accompany the wine. ”

The girl's tears flowed.

Damn, whether Chen Xuejiao is in her previous life or in this life, she can't help but say to the man above: "It's not a good idea for a big man to bully a woman." ”

"What do you like, not only to accompany the wine, but also to take it home." The man above smiled lewdly, "Since you are unhappy for her, how about you accompany me, little girl." I don't know how thick the sky is. ”

Chen Xueru was annoyed, picked up the wine glass on the ground and threw it at the man, throwing blood at his head.

"Murdered." The man's pig howl. "You know who I am, and you dare to hit me.

immediately ordered his men to arrest Chen Xuejiao, and the other men sitting around also came to fight. Chen Qi'an hid Chen Xuejiao behind him and joined the battle.

Li Danian and Li Dazhuang are young people in the countryside, they are used to doing rough work, and they followed Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang to catch those noble sons. The screams of those noble sons and their entourages when they were beaten alarmed the innkeeper, and Li Yuntian and Master Qin also came to take a look.

Gu Siyuan grabbed the first man and hit him in the face, and opened a jam shop. Tell me straight.

The innkeeper persuaded him and gradually stopped fighting.

The man above was beaten and howled: "I'm Ji Lianzhang." My father is Ji Hong, the first adviser of King Peng. How dare you beat me? ”

I have to send a letter to my house.

Master Qin glanced at him a few times, and said lightly: "We will live here, you let your father come, and I will see that Ji Hong, the first strategist of Xuzhou Mansion, actually taught such a rebel." ”

Ji Lianzhang was forced by this Master Qin's momentum and didn't dare to shout.

Master Qin took Chen Xuejiao and her party back to the private room, and the father and daughter who were performing also followed.

The father and daughter who were performing kept thanking each other.

It turned out that his father's name was Huang Nianzu, and his daughter's name was Huang Dragonfly, who was from Pei County, Xuzhou Prefecture, and studied while sitting in a rural private school in order to participate in the imperial examination. Three years ago, my daughter-in-law died, and after three years of filial piety, I decided to take my daughter to Beijing this year to participate in this year's Spring Festival, but I didn't expect that the money was stolen when I arrived in Xuzhou Mansion, and I delayed the schedule of the exam, so I decided to go home to earn money by performing arts.

It's a hard-working father and daughter.

Master Qin listened to what happened to them, and saw that Huang Nianzu was neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable, and the yellow dragonfly was gentle and polite, and thought about it and asked them who else was in the family, Huang Nianzu said that there were only father and daughter, because he was a showman, and the fields in the family were divided among the brothers in the clan.

Master Qin asked him if he would like to go to a foreign country to sit in a museum, Huang Nianzu thought for a while and said, "If there is a way, it is okay." ”

Master Qin thought that he didn't know when he would return from going to Beijing this time, and Chen Xiucai was raising his body again, but he just delayed the students of the private school, and he intended to let Huang Xiucai go to the pavilion and provide food, clothing, and accommodation, if he participated in the imperial examination in the future, he could also give a sum of silver. So Master Qin told Huang Xiucai about his plan, and only asked him if he was willing, of course, he didn't tell him the purpose of going to Jingshi.

Huang Xiucai thought about it for a while and nodded, but he didn't expect to meet his benefactor at the inn, not only saved their father and daughter, but also provided them with a place to stay, so he stood up and thanked them one by one.

Huang Xiucai didn't expect that the person in front of him was the emperor who was famous all over the world back then.

In this way, Huang Xiucai followed Li Yuntian to Weishan Lake first, and then returned to Maoshan Village together. Master Qin personally wrote a letter and handed it to Chen Qi'an, asking Chen Qi'an to hand it over to Chen Xiucai.

At night, Chen Xuejiao and Huang Dragonfly lived together, Huang Dragonfly had a gentle and honest personality, and Chen Xuejiao had a cool and kind temperament.

Chen Xuejiao thought, now the journey is not lonely, and finally there is a girl who can talk to her. (To be continued)
