Volume 1 Returning to the Hometown after Service Chapter 14, The Road to the Sky
Before going to bed, Changsheng was afraid that he would oversleep and the people would leave early, so he instructed the shopkeeper to arrange for someone to get up early tomorrow to feed the horses and prepare breakfast, and asked his uncle to check the car and pack up the salute so that he could leave at any time, so he could sleep with confidence.
The next day, I woke up very early to freshen up, and my uncle also set up the car and put it away, and there were voices in the inn from time to time, and everyone in a hurry got up.
Gao Shouren seemed bent on saving face, and he actually got up earlier than Changsheng and them, and they had already eaten breakfast and were feeding the horses. Seeing the **** sleeping and radiant Changsheng, his expression darkened, probably getting rid of his own trouble, her expression was so relaxed.
Leading the horse out of the door of the inn, he showed a rare smile and said to Changsheng: "Be careful all the way, don't be greedy when you meet the store early, if you come to the capital in the future, please come to the gate of Xing'an to find me, you can find it as soon as you ask." ”
Changsheng hurriedly thanked him, Gao Shouren glanced at her face in the morning light greedily, waved goodbye to each other, and the group quickly turned over and galloped away.
Changsheng breathed a long sigh of relief and said to his uncle, who was still looking, "Let's go, let's go to dinner." If that boy wants to leave, he won't wait for us. ”
Wang Chunfa hesitated and said: "Actually, although Captain Gao acted recklessly, he was also sincere to you, except for his age, he was not bad, and he might not be able to find such conditions when he went back, he was right, you have been in the palace for a long time, I am afraid that you will not be able to adapt to the life in the township." ”
Changsheng couldn't cry or laugh, she finally got rid of it, but her uncle had this idea, stomped his feet and said angrily: "I know that you don't want to see me, and I won't be allowed to return to my hometown after being thrown there for eight years!" Forget it, don't take me as a burden, just sell me here to subsidize the family! ”
Hearing "don't wait to see" and "don't go back to your hometown", Wang Chunfa's face changed a little, and he hurriedly said dotingly: "Okay, okay, uncle won't say it, don't say it." It's the right idea for us to go back to our hometown, it's a pity to be away from home for so many years, go back and let your mother make up for you! ”
Changsheng smiled and picked him up: "Okay, let's talk about it after I return to my hometown, I'm hungry now, let's have breakfast first!" For the first time, Changsheng felt that it was a very happy thing to have such an elder who really cared for her in front of her, spoiled her and managed her, and let her be spoiled and stupid, since she came to this world, she hadn't felt this way for a long time.
was eating a hearty breakfast, and last night the little family was about to go upstairs with breakfast on a tray, about to deliver food to the master. Changsheng got up and whispered to him: "May I ask the name of the little brother, are you really going to Jinyang?" ”
The family received two taels of silver for a trivial matter, and his mood was not ordinarily good, and he said with a smile: "My name is Mo'er, I am going to Jinyang, and I will set off when I have dinner!" ”
Changsheng noticed that he was very careful not to say his surname, probably because the prince didn't want to publicize it, and secretly sneered at them for playing tricks, making it look like the emperor was on a foreign visit.
"Then can we follow you and take care of each other on the way?" In fact, the so-called mutual care is just hoping that others will take care of them.
The family hesitated and said, "The boy does not dare to be the master, you must ask the master, and I will answer you when I come down." ”
Changsheng nodded and continued to eat, she wasn't worried about whether people would agree, the official way was everyone's, whether he agreed or not, she just followed, see what they do? Asking each other is just a courtesy.
After eating, the housekeeper came down, looked a little strange, and said to Changsheng: "My son-in-law said, the road is facing the sky, each goes to one side, and the girl just follows us and goes her own way, what is it not allowed?" ”
Changsheng let out a "ah", his face was a little feverish, wasn't this what he said to Gao Shouren last night? was overheard by that son, when did he stand there and eavesdrop, why didn't he know?
I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, I just told the truth, and asked him if he was also because he respected him, and deserved him to be so careful to remember as a big man? Besides, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a gentleman's doing, so if you know it, you won't ask him, just follow it.
He simply said to Da Nana: "Childe is right, then we will set off together later!" ”
When checking out, she learned that Gao Shouren had already settled all the accounts, Changsheng shook her head helplessly, she didn't want to owe others favors for a little money, but if she was too concerned about a little money, she would look petty. But it's meaningless, anyway, she doesn't plan to go to the capital again in the future.
Seeing that the guards had already eaten and should be about to leave, Changsheng remembered Mo'er's words just now, and suddenly had a prankster heart.
She took her uncle back to the room to check whether there was any omission, and then said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and when she saw the guard leading the horse and cart, she asked her uncle to drive the car out of the gate first.
After a while, I saw a tall young man wearing a cloak and getting ready to board the car, accompanied by Mo'er, because it was not yet fully bright, and his face could not be seen clearly.
Changsheng pursed his lips and smiled, and said to his uncle, "Hurry up and go!" Get ahead of them! ”
Wang Chunfa shook his head and smiled, said naughty, "drove", and galloped away with a whip.
Changsheng imagined the stunned expressions of the people behind him, sat in the car and laughed and hurt his stomach, and only stopped for a while, stuffed a cat ear in his mouth, chewed it rattling, and couldn't help but open the curtain and look back, ten feet behind, the group of people followed from a distance.
Wang Chunfa said a little worriedly: "You only care about being naughty, they are officials, we can't afford to mess with them!" ”
In the morning breeze, Changsheng opened the cotton curtain in front of him and said crisply: "Don't worry, didn't he say that the road will go to the sky?" We wake up early, do we have to follow them? But uncle, can you promise to keep ahead of them and not let them overtake, and not too far from them? ”
Wang Chunfa laughed: "You kid, don't worry, your uncle has been driving a car for 20 years, and he has nothing to say about his technology, he will definitely be able to do what you say." I thought that the rules in the palace would suppress people, and you were afraid that you would become a stuffy gourd after leaving the palace, I think you are like the starling that Master Dong raised! ”
Changsheng asked curiously, "Who is Master Dong?" ”
"Master Dong is the wealthy owner of our township, and there is a big house with three entrances, and there are more than a dozen long-term workers and domestic slaves alone, and he also accepts a three-room aunt. His aunts are all dressed in satin clothes and wearing gold hairpins, which are more generous than the main room of ordinary people, and I heard that their family has wine and meat every day! ”
Changsheng burst out laughing, thinking that his uncle was really kind and cute, what is it to have a lot of meat to eat every day? What is a big family with a dozen minions? Moreover, the long-term worker is not a domestic slave, just a hired farmer, and Master Dong is just an old man in the countryside.
After the Tang Dynasty, the palace completely inherited the system in the palace of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and the food and drink were extremely luxurious, and the so-called frugality and simplicity of the early Tang Dynasty were only advocated by Empress Changsun after Li Shimin ascended the throne. Her master, Yuwen Zhaoyi, is alone, and there are twenty-four eunuchs and palace maids serving her with her steward, and the exquisite luxury of food and clothing is what the countrymen can imagine?
