Volume 1 Return to the Hometown Chapter 15
Changsheng took a look, because the terrain was uneven, and the official road was not very wide, it could only allow two carriages to pass in parallel, and if they walked in the middle, there would be no way for the carriages behind to pass at all.
She opened the small curtain on the side and looked out, the carriage behind really did not mean to go over, she laughed softly, and kept telling her uncle to walk in the middle of the road, not to let the car behind have a chance to overtake, Wang Chunfa laughed and blamed her for being naughty, while complacently driving the car.
Because he relaxed his vigilance, Changsheng was shaken and dozed, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly became urgent, Changsheng opened the curtain next to him and looked, after crossing the mountain road, the official road became wider, even if he walked in the middle, the carriage behind him could also overtake, the horses were speeding up, obviously trying to overtake them, and shouted unconvinced: "Uncle, hurry up, don't let them overtake!" ”
Although Wang Chunfa has been a common man for many years, he really wants to let the people who are either rich or noble go first, but he doesn't want to disagree with his niece's wishes, so he whips up the carriage and gallops, Changsheng staggered in the car, but refused to admit defeat.
Changsheng opened the curtain and looked angrily at the other party's obviously luxurious carriage passing by, and what was even more annoying was that when the other party overtook the car, the curtain next to the car was also opened, and a young and handsome face glanced at her proudly and ran to the front.
Then Mo'er, who was riding a horse, passed by, glanced at Changsheng with humility, and drove to the front.
After exceeding, the speed slowed down, and it was not far from them that he walked smoothly, and it seemed that the seemingly noble son was not a generous person.
Looking at his somewhat shabby carriage, Changsheng felt a little depressed, stomped his feet unconvinced, and shouted vigorously: "Didn't my uncle say that he wouldn't let them surpass?" ”
Wang Chunfa was amused by her childishness: "No one has ever won a race between my uncle and his peers, because our horses were all the same at that time. But other people's horses look like good horses that have been trained, and the cars are new, so how can we run? Let's hurry up, don't fight for that idleness! ”
Changsheng thought about holding on to the car wall and laughed lowly, but that's not the case, what kind of leisure is he fighting with an unknown person? Like a child, fight over small things? Could it be that the palace is too depressed and cautious to walk on thin ice all the time, so I want to **** after I leave the palace? It turns out that she is still the same as in her previous life, a competitive and childish person.
However, Changsheng is also a person who accepts his fate, since he can't fight for others, it doesn't matter, anyway, no matter how fast they run, they still have to go to the inn in front of them to rest and set off tomorrow morning.
In the next few days, although they stayed together, as they said, the road was facing the sky, each going to one side, and no one paid attention to anyone.
The journey is getting more and more north, getting colder and colder day by day, sitting in the car already has a cold swishing feeling, Changsheng put on a new cloak made by his mother, covered with a small quilt, this is comfortable, thinking of his uncle directly **** in the cold wind, his heart is sour, and he suddenly feels that his ability is really limited, and he can't shelter more relatives.
Along the way, Changsheng had never seen the true face of the stingy boy who didn't know why Fang Shen, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them anymore. It's almost Jinyang, the population is getting stronger, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians, cars and horses, so there is no need to follow them anymore, and I don't know when they have already dispersed.
Wang Chunfa became more and more excited, and kept telling Changsheng the names of the villages or anecdotes along the way. He often drove from his hometown to Jinyang, to familiar places, getting closer and closer to his hometown, and of course he was a little excited.
Changsheng's mood became heavier and heavier. The car went all the way north, the latitude was getting higher and higher, and it was getting colder and colder.
When she first came out of Chang'an, she was wearing the clothes issued in the palace, and she felt a little hot at noon, and then she gradually didn't feel the heat, and then she was a little cold in the morning and evening, plus the cloak was just right, and then she had to put on the cloak all day long, and when she arrived in Jinyang, she was still a little chilly when she put on the cloak, and she had to cover the quilt all the time when she was in the car. Fortunately, my uncle has many years of experience in driving cars, so he brought enough clothes when he came, otherwise it would have been colder for him to sit outside.
It's still autumn in September, it's already cold like early winter, and her hometown will go north, it will be colder than here, how can she stand it then? It's impossible to stay in the house all the time and not go out?
And the diet along the way is becoming more and more unpalatable, when I first left Beijing, it was better, and slowly there were more yellow rice and coarse grains, which doesn't matter, Changsheng does not reject this, the key is that almost all kinds of grains and meat, tofu, bean sprouts and the like are eaten at every meal, and there are fewer and fewer fresh vegetables.
I heard my uncle say that the winter is bitter and cold, except for the radishes, cabbage, green onions and soaked bean sprouts in the cellar, the next meal is mainly pickled vegetables or sour yellow cabbage, and there are almost no fresh vegetables to eat.
Changsheng rubbed his stomach in distress, maybe he would really have to suffer some hardships when he went back.
"Uncle, if you come on time to pick me up, I have planned to go home after a few days of shopping in Chang'an, my home is so far away from Chang'an, I am afraid you will never have a chance to go in the future."
Wang Chunfa's face was full of regret when he heard this, he did have this idea when he went, but his wish was disappointed due to illness. But looking at the imminent Jinyang City Gate, he was happy again, Jinyang was the largest and most prosperous place he had ever seen, and he was very familiar with the city, so he didn't have to worry about being deceived.
"Don't worry about Changsheng, don't go to Chang'an, Jinyang City is also very lively, let's find a place to rest and place the saluting carriage and horses, and then my uncle will take you around, and return to your hometown early tomorrow morning."
Changsheng also saw the Jinyang City Gate, his face full of curiosity and eagerness. For her, it is really worth looking forward to coming to see one of the big cities in the Tang Dynasty, known as Chang'an and Luoyang, and the capital of Shanxi Province today.
Jinyang City is really prosperous and lively, although the streets are not as open and smooth as Chang'an, and the buildings are not as gorgeous and majestic as Chang'an, but it is also extremely prosperous and lively, with the characteristics of the north, the shops are lined up, the flow of people is endless, and there are small stalls and vendors on both sides.
Changsheng couldn't bear to look at his uncle's face full of vicissitudes, he was only forty-three years old, in modern times, it was the age of forty-one flowers for men, but he was already half old. remembered his vague attitude when he mentioned the Zhou family along the way, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
When he came to the inn that his uncle was familiar with, in order to save money, he only let Changsheng live in the upper room, Changsheng resolutely disagreed, and resolutely opened two upper rooms. After setting up the carriage and horses, the two of them went to the street lightly, and Changsheng walked from Chang'an in a hurry to avoid Gao Shouren, and the things he brought back were not enough. Although Jinyang is not as good as Chang'an, for the vast majority of people who have never been to Jinyang in their lives, the gifts brought from here are already very decent.
"Uncle, what do you think I should choose as a gift for my aunt and mother? Hurry up and show it to me! There are also daddy and eldest brothers, and of course, younger siblings. I've been away from home for so long, so I can't go back empty-handed. ”
Changsheng observed with good eyes that when he mentioned his mother and aunt, warmth flashed on his uncle's face, and when he mentioned his father and brother, he became disdainful, and then he thought that his father and brother should have come to pick her up, but he became an uncle, and his heart was even more suspicious.
It's getting closer and closer to my hometown, and I have a lot to deal with when I return to my hometown. She had to know more about the situation in order to avoid revealing flaws in her speech, after all, the real Changsheng had lived at home for twelve years, and she was half an adult, and she remembered most of the things, and if she acted like she didn't know anything, it was easy for people to be suspicious.
-------- wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance!
