Chapter 123: Walking with Beauty (I)
The world of red dust is full of fog. Looking for the road to find me, thousands of miles, ask who is good, the wind is the road, is my future. The sand is as urgent as a knife, and the wind is also crazy and angry, which makes people frown and bow their heads, rushing into the long road, all by will, carrying out my Lingyun step, striding forward, taking the right road, and finding it.
Time passes like flowing water, the years go by, hurry, time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it will be February of the following year.
In Tokyo in February of the Song Dynasty, it is heavy snow again, goose feathers and heavy snow are blowing one after another, flying all over the sky, falling from the sky, the whole Kaifeng Mansion is shrouded in a piece of white outside the city, the snow is white, the snow is wrapped in plain, the snow is a good year, indicating that the crops will have a good harvest in the coming year.
At this time, on an official road outside Kaifeng Mansion in Song Tokyo, an eighteen-year-old handsome scholar rode a healthy horse towards the south, and behind the healthy horse was a bookcase and some pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The scholar was in a hurry while singing a song that no one else could understand, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood, which made passers-by look sideways.
"It's hard to get through the snow and don't stir up dust, and the rain looks like the plum ridge. . ." Li Sanjian rode on a horse and chanted a seven-character poem, which was the right to entertain himself.
The snow is falling heavily, and the road is difficult to walk, but the further south you go, the warmer the weather will be, Li Sanjian thought that he would see the scenery of Lingnan again soon, and his mood couldn't help but improve.
The three-year competition of Song will soon come again, so Li Sanjian must rush back to Guizhou on Guangnan West Road a year in advance to retake the liberation test.
Li Sanjian's trip to Guizhou was alone.
Shankui wanted to follow Li Sanjian to Guizhou desperately, but Li Sanjian resolutely refused to allow it and threatened to sever relations.
Shan Kui is already a soldier, how can he walk with Li Sanjian? Although Li Sanjian has never been in the army, he also knows that military law is a joke or not, military orders are like mountains, military law is ruthless, and if Shan Kui does this, the gains outweigh the losses.
However, what Li Sanjian didn't know was that the Song Army had military law, and it was written in black and white, which was also more harsh, but the implementation was greatly discounted, if Shankui really wanted to go with Li Sanjian, it was not impossible, but it was just spending some money, that is, bribing Shangguan.
Li Sanjian did not understand the situation of the Song army, and secondly, he had no extra money, so he resolutely refused Shankui and his companions.
Li Sanjian went to Guizhou alone, leaving Fu Erniang and Xiaodou Sprouts, and now Xiao Dou Sprouts was renamed Li Nan, Li Sanjian only left Fu Erniang and Li Nan, and at this time, Li Sanjian moved his mother and Li Nan into the palace at the request of Duan Wang Zhao Ji.
On the surface, it is said that it is to take care of Fu Erniang and Li Nan for Li Sanjian, but in fact, Fu Erniang and Li Nan are used as hostages to tie Li Sanjian firmly to Zhao Ji's chariot.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!
Li Sanjian has already boarded the thief ship, and it is not so easy to get down.
Li Sanjian was a little annoyed by this.
The unpredictable fate, the gray back to Guizhou to send the test again, worried about Fu Erniang and others, and so on, made Li Sanjian's mood when he set off was heavy and extremely unhappy.
At the same time, Li Sanjian's trip to Guizhou is much better than in the past, at least there is enough entanglement and horses to ride, so there is no need to walk hard.
I don't know how Professor Huang of Qinzhou County felt when he saw him? Will you beat yourself to death with an old fist? How do Hu Wenhai, Yin Mochuan, Lin Wencheng and other officials in Guizhou view themselves? You must know that these people had high hopes for Li Sanjian back then, especially Hu Wenhai and Professor Huang, what face did Li Sanjian have to see them again at this time?
Song officials were promoted or demoted or moved to other places as officials for one to three years, and of course some remained in office, so Li Sanjian may not see them after returning to Guizhou, but if they stay in office, then Li Sanjian will be shameless.
As for his mentor Su Shi, he has been expelled from the door by Su Shi at this time anyway, and Su Shi is still far away in Danzhou, Qiongtai, and at the same time, where does Li Sanjian have the face to see Su Shi again? Then Li Sanjian will be happy not to see Su Shi, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.
There is also the little fat man, his only confidant friend in the world, Zeng Gongming, the road is far away, the information is not smooth, I don't know what is happening to him now?
and his own "concubine" Wang Wen... You should be grown up by now, right? It must look good, right? It should be starting to take shape, right?
There are also grandfather Fu Gui, uncle Fu Gui, Fu scales, etc., there has been no news of them for a long time, I don't know if they are okay?
"Whew... When Li Sanjian, who was riding on a horse, was thinking wildly, the healthy horse under his crotch stepped into a shallow pit in the snowdrift, and suddenly let out a neigh, and as soon as his front hooves were weak, the horse's body leaned forward.
"Ouch, Brother Ma, don't you have any moths?" Li Sanjian was so frightened that he knelt down on the saddle, hugged the horse's neck tightly and said: "Brother Ma, we have no grievances in the past life, no enemies in this life, and no fate in the next life, why are you bothering?" Why bother? "Feilu
Last time, it was this jujube-red healthy horse that swept himself He Li Qingzhao into the stream, and this time he came again? If you miss again this time, it will delay Li Sanjian's trip.
As if he understood Li Sanjian's words, the jujube-red healthy horse let out a neigh, pulled out his front hooves from the snow pit, tilted his head and snorted a few times.
Li Sanjian immediately jumped off the horse, walked to the front, looked down at the horse's front hooves, and saw what was abnormal, in case the horse's hooves were injured, then Li Sanjian might have to walk to Guizhou.
Li Sanjian observed for a long time and did not find that the horse's hooves were injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief, stood in front of the horse's head, gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Ma, you are really healthy and healthy, and you deserve to be the best among the horses." ”
On a long journey, only this healthy horse was accompanied by Li Sanjian, so when Li Sanjian was lonely and bored, he talked to the healthy horse and regarded it as a brother.
Jianma responded to Li Sanjian with a loud nose.
"Brother Ma, how about I get on the road here?" Li Sanjian then took the reins, and wanted to step forward, the snow was falling, and the snow was also accumulated in a thick layer, Li Sanjian didn't dare to ride a horse anymore, in case there was something sharp under the soft snowdrift, wouldn't it be a bad thing?
But Jianma seemed to be fighting with Li Sanjian, standing still, just refusing to move forward, Li Sanjian used all his strength to bring Jianma back to the vicinity of the official road, the official road is hard, and there is less snow, Li Sanjian can ride a horse, but at this time Li Sanjian is exhausted, and he can no longer hold it.
Could it be that Fang Cai's attitude was not very respectful, which angered Brother Ma? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart, so Li Sanjian bowed his hand respectfully and said: "Brother Ma, how about asking Brother Ma to let go of the four hooves and dominate the world?" Brother Ma, the snow scene is beautiful, right? But when you arrive in Lingnan, there is another unique scenery, don't you want to see it? ”
But no matter how Li Sanjian lured him to benefit or threatened him, he tried all kinds of methods, but Jianma just refused to move forward, and at the same time found a tender grass by himself, bowed his head and ate the grass leisurely.
"Ouch, Brother Ma, what do you have to eat on such roadside weeds? Why don't I wait and find a home inn, I will find the best forage with you, and then how about a full meal? Hey, hey, it's a big deal that I'll find some maiko and courtesans with you again? Wrong, how about finding you some horse prostitutes and donkey prostitutes? ”
Jianma refused to move forward, and Li Sanjian continued to ramble non-stop.
At this time, a woman's chuckle suddenly sounded behind Li Sanjian, Li Sanjian heard the laughter, and hurriedly looked back, only to see a carriage stop behind him and Brother Ma at some point.
The carriage is smaller, only for two or three people, it is drawn by two horses, the carriage is wrapped in drapery, the carriage decoration is not luxurious, but it is unusually neat, it should be ridden by an extraordinary person, and there are two horseback riders on both sides of the carriage, wearing the clothes of ordinary people, but the waist is bulging.
"Huh? It's you? Why are you here? After Li Sanjian saw the woman in the car window clearly, he asked in surprise.
The woman sitting in the car was Cai Rongxue, who was smiling lightly at this time looking at the funny person and horse.
Although Cai Rongxue is still covered with a tulle quilt, Li Sanjian still can't see her face clearly, but Li Sanjian can see her eyes clearly, but he can recognize her voice.
"Li Gongzi, how are you here? What are you doing here? Cai Rongxue asked without answering.
Cai Rongxue was also equally surprised when she saw Li Sanjian, and at the same time couldn't help laughing when she saw the funny scene of one person and one horse.
"I'm about to go to Guizhou, Brother Ma, no, this damn old horse won't walk the aisle, what's the matter?" Li San replied hatefully.
"I see." Cai Rongxue couldn't help but smile again, and then said to an entourage: "You go and help Li Gongzi." ”
After an attendant bowed in response, he turned over and dismounted, walked to Li Sanjian's healthy horse, took the reins, gently patted the healthy horse's neck, and took out some beans and fed them to the healthy horse.
After a while, the attendant turned over and got on his horse, and gently knocked the horse's belly, and then the horse let out a neighing and walked forward honestly.
Li Sanjian was dumbfounded, where is this damn horse disobedient? It's completely because Li Sanjian doesn't understand horses, doesn't know horses, and riding skills are commonplace.
said that riding skills usually promote Li Sanjian, but Li Sanjian's actual riding skills are really bad.
"Li Gongzi, how about you get in the car?" Cai Rongxue then said hesitantly to Li Sanjian.
It is said that it is inconvenient for men to ride in a carriage with female dependents, but Li Sanjian is a scholar, and at the same time he further met Cai Rongxue when he was in Qingyue Nunnery, plus Li Qingzhao is Cai Rongxue's good sister since childhood, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, so Cai Rongxue hesitated to ask Li Sanjian to get in the car and talk.
"Obey" Li Sanjian was unceremoniously, jumped into the carriage, and his movements were extremely agile, as if he was afraid that Cai Rongxue would regret it.
