Chapter 1 Wind and Sand
The yellow sand is all over the sky, and the lonely smoke is straight up.
The sky is just bright, the sun is rising in the east, Yuzhou is silent all around, occasionally hearing the sound of the dog barking, the big dog is loud but under the reprimand of the owner's deliberately low, gradually whimpering and barking.
"Crunchβ"
The city gate was wide open, and it had not been used for a long time, and the intermittent sound was like a blunt knife cutting through the sunken wood, and then it became more and more dull.
After a while, the horses' hooves kicked and trampled, but the extremely long train went quietly, and the people who drove the car and the horses driving were all quiet. Nearly 200 brown and red red-maned horses headed and sat immediately, all of them were crowned with wooden hairpins, dressed in dark gray caftan brown, and stepped on black cloth and cotton shoes, which was the most common attire of the common people of the Great Jin Dynasty.
The horse team is extremely long, the light horse first opens the road, nearly 100 freight carriages follow closely, the things carried are covered on it by the green oil cloth, and take the cow tendon rope to tie three circles and try to cover the airtight, and then three zhang away, there are nearly more than ten vermilion lacquer elm carriages and wild geese, the carriage of people, with the green wood as the wheel, promote the elm wood as the rut, the body plate is engraved with the seal carved Yin text of the word "Lu", and every three zhang, there are hundreds of strong men in green cloth linen after the palace.
The procession rushed out from the city gate and silently marched north along the ancient city wall of Yuzhou.
It was the middle of autumn, the morning light was getting stronger, and after the city gate was opened and closed, it finally returned to calm, and then the vast land brightened from east to west, from near and far.
"This is just Yuzhou..."
The carriage was bumpy, Lu Changting looked a little wilted, leaned on the soft pillow, slightly raised his little finger to open a small slit in the curtain, he didn't dare to look too closely, so he had to squint and want to see farther, but no matter how far he looked, there was no human population after all, only the desolate and desolate sand.
Lu Changting was depressed, and simply let go of the green snail curtain, soft on the pillow, and didn't want to look out again.
What's there to see in troubled times?
All the way from Kyoto Jiankang over, through two cities and three towns, there is no elite soldiers to guard, although there are no ragged common people under the remnants of the veterans, but the Great Jin has clearly shown a decadent and irreversible trend.
Jingjia's change was only half a year ago.
The vassal king Jizhou Fu Li pretended to be in the name of tribute, raised troops to rebel, the mourning emperor Fu Mian fled to Shouyang in a hurry, and then Fu Li was captured by the forbidden army, beheaded at the noon gate, the mourning emperor Fu Mian re-grasped the Huamen, it stands to reason that it has been calm, but I don't know that the little Fu Li is just a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.
Immediately after, there was an uproar.
Emperor Fu Mian was frightened, and finally died violently, leaving his eldest son Fu Qu, who was only three years old, ascended the throne and held the treasure, the world is big, when today, the twenty-three states of the Great Jin Dynasty have been more than ten states in turmoil.
It's all a small turmoil, and it can't shake the foundation of the Great Jin.
It's so funny, almost all of the people who are waiting for the opportunity are surnamed.
According to the words of the current head of the Lu family in Heicheng, Lu Xuan, the Duke of Qi, "It's just that one straw bag covets the family wealth of another straw bag, and he didn't steal it when he stretched out his hand, but he didn't know that the other dozen straw bags knew it, and these family treasures were originally left behind by no one to take care of." β
It is a relic, and the natural bales are eager to try.
When Lu Sui and his eldest son Lu Changying said this, Lu Changting secretly hid behind the curtain and listened, he was very happy at first, but now that he thinks about it, Fang Jue's father strongly advocated that the Lu family migrate back to the old house in Pingcheng from Jiankang - the Shi family is the Shi family, the royal family is the royal family, the Hecheng Lu family started in the Eastern Han Dynasty, flourished in the Qianliang, and was the Later Chen royal family, the Fu family is in the rise or fall, and what does it have to do with the Lu family?
Jiankang's top scholars have left the Xie and Chen families, and the Lu family has also left early-Mrs. Lu Jiatai, the eldest princess of Zhenning of the Great Jin Dynasty was escorted by Lu Xuan's younger brother Lu Fan to take the first step, and Lu Xuan, the Duke of Qi, followed by the people of the Changfang and the Lu family's money and silk account books.
As soon as the carriage was bumped, the lid of the red gold rui beast incense burner placed on the wooden case shook with a "bang", and the dark green sandalwood powder in it was almost sprinkled, Lu Changting hurriedly raised his skirt and avoided it, although he could forgive him, his body was difficult to make do!
After a sullen breath, he turned his head and asked Baique, "How many days have you been out?" β
"Even counting the first and last two days, it's only been five days."
The carriage of the Lu family is made wide, nearly one zhang long, divided into inner and outer compartments, the inner compartments are exquisitely arranged, the tea case is small, it can accommodate three or two people, the long pavilion is delicate, usually soft on the pillow cushion, and the person who enters the personal service, or Chen Fei, or a few maids who have to be used.
Baique's personality is soft, one wall knelt down and sat on the stove to cook tea after the small table, and the other wall continued to smile and comfort, "Girl, don't panic, didn't Chen Yu count with you early in the morning?" From Jiankang to Heisei, I had to delay on the road for three months. β
By the time we got to Heisei, it was almost midwinter!
"I hate Heisei winter."
The words didn't fluctuate too much, the long pavilion leaned wiltingly, stretched out his hand to take the tea cup presented by the hands of the hundred birds, the tea soup was warm and just at the entrance, the wet mist covered the little girl, the words were swept by the fog, and it seemed to become soft, "The winter in the north is too cold, there is ice all around, and the snow particles can be frozen into a big lump in just one night, and when the wind blows, the soft snow accumulated on the pines and cypresses falls down..."
Changting laughed as he spoke, "The year before last, I went to Heisei with my father to worship my ancestors, and my brother was standing under the tree, and it happened to fall on his head with snow!" β
The little girl of twelve or three smiled without showing her teeth, nested softly in the pile of green snail cloud silk brocade, her complexion was pale, her eyes were big and her eyebrows were bent, and her eyes were followed by clear water with half a pool of blue waves, such as a pool half a mile deep, but she could see the bottom clearly.
The little beauty is good-looking, and the carefree little beauty is even better-looking.
Baique's heart was relieved, and he also laughed.
My own girl is delicate, but she is better than open-mindedness, from the prosperous Kyoto Jiankang, trekking through mountains and rivers and taking refuge back to the old house, rushing and hurrying, depressed for five days, and now willing to speak.
Taking a step back, which of the girls of the Shi clan gate valve is not spoiled?
What's more, the girl was already wronged...
Baique borrowed the kung fu of pouring water and said softly, "You also blame the master, the lady has been in a panic for a long time, and she has been nervous, if the eldest princess and the master are not considerate, they will cause a lot of gossip..."
Changting was silent, raised his face and took a deep breath, sandalwood incense calmed his nerves, and after a long time, he smiled.
Gossip?
What gossip?
Is the Lu family not allowing her to give birth to Xiaolangjun? Or is she Lu Changting stopping her from running forward?
Fu's family is filling the house, Changting's biological mother Xie Wenyun passed early, Lu Sui was very sad for a long time, and every three years, the eldest princess of Zhenning married the daughter of the Fu family into the Lu family, so far for nearly ten years, gave birth to a daughter, line three, named Lu Changning, and there was no news.
The Fu family is accustomed to the wicked suing first, and it is clear that they are not willing to go with the Xie family, the maiden family of the Duchess of Qi State, and just say it. I just want to be Zhang Zuoqiao, so I have to introduce the reason that "Miyun Master is too good to get out of the customs, and I have to wait to ask for a child to sign it", and the deadline for moving north was dragged to mid-autumn...
It's just that it involves the heirs, and Lu Xuan and the eldest princess Zhenning are not good at putting their beaks too much.
People pay attention to the fate of people, and the mother-daughter relationship between Changting and Fu has not been cultivated for more than ten years, but they are tired of each other, and they respect each other and stay away. But thinking about it, the marriage between the Fu family and Lu Xuan seems to be not very good, and Changting privately speculated with ill intentions that the Fu family probably has nothing to do with the Lu family.
"I'm not stupid, why do I blame my father?"
Changting's heart was wide, he took another sip of tea, frowned and pouted, "I don't want to drink this tea, take it down and give it to Lu Changning to drink." β
