Chapter 8 Calling for Du Yu to get along with each other
Feng Tong felt that this plan was brilliant, and he was a little impatient with Xu You's hesitation, but he couldn't help but listen, and arched his hand: "Lang Jun, please say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." ”
"The first case, I have a servant girl who has just contracted a cold and has not rested for a day or two, so I am afraid that it is not suitable to travel far."
"This is easy to do, there is a famous doctor in Jinling on the ship that came with me, so I will ask him to come over for consultation and medicine, rest for one night, and the medicine will be eliminated, and then it will not be too late to leave tomorrow."
Xu You knew in his heart that this famous doctor of Jinling was actually specially prepared for himself to prevent his body from deteriorating if he couldn't withstand the fatigue of the journey, which showed that Yuan Jie wanted to meet him no matter what.
"The second one," Xu You said proudly, "Can I ask Steward Feng to buy some food and wine on my behalf, I won't tell you, I haven't eaten enough for many days." ”
Feng Tong was stunned for a moment, he couldn't think of the so-called two difficult things when he was killed, one was to seek medical treatment for an insignificant maid, and the other was to fill his stomach and ask for food, so he suddenly felt contempt and despised Xu You more and more. The so-called gentleman doesn't eat the food that comes from him, and even a slave like him understands the truth, Xu Qilang really lost the face of the Xu clan.
As everyone knows, although Xu You is proud, he is not inflexible, and he will never do it if he wants to save face and suffer crimes! Now the Yuan family has a request for him, plus there is a serious illness on the autumn equinox, and it is not a big deal to ask for a full meal!
"Immediately order the people to send it, Lang Jun, please have a full meal!"
"Okay, just wait for the little maid to get better, and I'll leave with Steward Feng tomorrow."
Feng Tong was overjoyed, no matter how inferior this person's character was, as long as he was willing to go to Jinling, anyway, he knew what Lang was mainly doing, and he agreed with it from the bottom of his heart, and then looked like he was afraid that Xu You would change his mind, and immediately went to the hospital to make arrangements.
Seeing Feng Tong leave, Xu You lifted the curtain and walked inside, and saw the autumn equinox leaning on the head of the bed, staring at him with a pair of godless bright eyes, and said, "Why sit up, lie down quickly." ”
"Xiaolang, did the Yuan family send someone?"
Xu You stuffed her back into the quilt and said, "How do you know?" ”
"I heard you talking to that person in a daze, saying Jin Ling, Yuan Gong or something......"
"Well, Yuan Zuojun wants me to go to Jinling." Yuan Jie is the general of the Left Army, and the people of the time are also called "Yuan Zuojun", Xu You used this language, which was more distant than the title of Yuan Gong, and said: "It just so happens that we are going to Qiantang, and after that, the north and the south will see you soon, and some things will be explained in advance." ”
There was still a little low-grade fever on the autumn equinox, his face was pale, and his face was haggard, but when he heard Xu You's words, he burst out of his eyes with a little brilliance, and said, "Do you want to discuss Xiaolang's marriage?" It must be the girl of the Yuan family who knows that our Xu family is in this big trouble, and wants to get married early to take care of Xiaolang...... Xiaolang, I dreamed in my dream, the girl of the Yuan family is a fairy in the world, and her heart must be excellent, excellent...... Ahem, ahem! ”
Qiu Equinox covered his lips and coughed a few times hurriedly, Xu You gently patted her back, and said distressedly: "Yes, yes, you are right, the girl I fancy will naturally not be bad, and when she passes the door, you will definitely call Du Yu and get along." ”
"Calling for all Yu, get along with each other...... Lang Jun speaks so nicely, but the servant doesn't dare, even if the master's mother beats me and scolds me, that's what it should be. ”
"Stupid, no one has ever married, so he called the mistress, and he is not ashamed!" Xu You nodded the tip of her nose and said, "You lie down first, a doctor will come to consult later, and tell him if you feel uncomfortable, anyway, the Yuan family pays for it, so you don't need to save this consultation fee from them." ”
"Hee-hee, got it!"
Autumn equinox smiled and agreed, lying down on her side, next to Xu You's waist and legs, a black green silk spread on the side of the bed, wrapping around Xu You's fingertips, and the moonlight poured all over the house, making people feel inexplicably happy and happy.
That night, the famous doctor invited by Feng Tong diagnosed the pulse for the autumn equinox, and fed her with medicine, saying that it was no big deal, which made Xu You really relieved. In this era, everything can be tolerated, but the mortality rate of illness is too high, which is really worrying. After seeing the doctor, Feng Tong took people to find an inn to live in, and made an appointment to set off together at noon tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the sky was slightly bright, Xu You went to the Taishou Mansion to get the relocation documents, just after he was discharged from the hospital, four men in Tsing Yi immediately stood up on both sides of the deserted street, all with thick finger joints, and their eyes were bright, even people who didn't know martial arts could see that they were extraordinary, not ordinary people.
Xu You didn't seem to see these people, the sleeves of his robe flew up, he behaved pleasantly, and disappeared at the intersection after a while. Among the men in black, there was a man with a slanted brow and a horse's face, and said, "You go quickly to report to the steward, and say that Xu You has come out, and his whereabouts are undecided." The two of you go and follow Xu You, see where he goes, who he sees, what he says, and return in time. ”
"Whoa!"
The three of them suddenly responded, and they didn't see how to exert their strength, and their bodies rose into the air at the same time, and their toes lightly touched the low wall, and they turned in a strange arc in the air, dividing in two directions, crossing the high eaves, and disappearing in an instant.
Xu You didn't delay much time in the Taishou Mansion, and the Yuan family's car and ship arrived in Yixing last night, so naturally he couldn't hide it from Li Zhi, the Taishou's eyes and ears, so without waiting for Xu You to speak, he had already prepared a necessary paperwork, and said with a smile: "I guess with the wisdom of Qilang, when you know that following Yuan's fleet to leave Yixing will have a hundred benefits and no harm, so I prepared these early." Take it, may Qilang have a smooth journey and arrive at Qiantang safely! ”
Xu You thanked him respectfully, Li Zhi is actually extremely smart, not only can stabilize the hearts of the people of Yixing County in such a complex situation, and curry favor with both ends, not only not to offend the Shen family, but also to leave a lot of favor here, the level of being an official is unknown, but the level of being a person is first-class.
Coming out of the Taishou Mansion, Xu You saw the two men in black at a glance. It's not that his eyes are like torches, but that the other party didn't plan to hide his tracks at all, so he stood naked under the willow tree opposite the mansion, his body was straighter than a javelin, as if others didn't know that they were from the army.
Xu You stopped, thought for a moment, turned around and walked towards the man in black, ignoring their suspicious eyes, raised the document in his hand, and said with a smile: "Trouble back to your lord, I will leave Yixing today, and I will not work so hard to follow the brothers every day in the future." After speaking, he didn't expect the man in black to answer, and Shi Shiran left.
The men in black glanced at each other and nodded to each other, one of them went back and forth to say goodbye, and the other still followed behind Xu You, but this time they kept a certain distance.
Back in the courtyard, Xu You saw that the autumn equinox was packing up her things, stepped forward to take off the package in her hand, and said, "You are just a little better, what are you doing with these?" ”
"It's okay, I took the medicine and lay down all night, it will feel much more refreshing. Besides, aren't we going to Jinling, we always have to prepare a few clothes for Xiaolang, otherwise how can we go to see Yuan Gong? I heard that the Yuan family is a Confucian heirloom, and the most important number of rituals is that Xiaolang can't lose his honor......"
Xu You said with a smile: "A total of two or three tattered robes, if you throw them away, you are afraid that others will dislike them and refuse to pick them up, what is there to clean up?" As long as the clothes are neat and tidy, presumably Yuan's style will not judge people by their appearance. ”
"Hey," Qiu Equinox looked at the clothes in his hand, and sure enough, as Xu You said, they were all linen and geek robes from ordinary peasant families, but if he wanted to come to a character like the lady of the Yuan family, he would not be bored with Xiaolang because of these mundane things, and said: "Then I will send these clothes to Aunt Zhou and them." ”
"It's okay, let's see what can be used at home, beds, bedding, knives, pots, cooking utensils, everything that is still used, send it to them."
At noon, everything was arranged, and Feng Tong asked Xu You and the autumn equinox to go out and get in the car. Xu You stood in the courtyard and looked back at this dilapidated small courtyard again, which carried the ups and downs of his rebirth, although it was short, but it was his first home after coming to this world.
He was an orphan in his previous life, and he was not married when he was in a car accident, although he changed girlfriends and lived in mansions and villas, he never really felt at home. However, after coming here, although it was more difficult, at least there was an autumn equinox around me, and I treated myself wholeheartedly. Maybe for her, all this is just the duty of being a servant girl and the foolish loyalty that the times have taught her, but the purity of the whole body dedication still gives Xu You a cold heart, a little warmth that she has never felt!
So when he was about to leave and was sure that he would not be able to come back for a long time in the future, Xu You still had a little nostalgia for this place.
But this little nostalgia has been left behind the moment he resolutely turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate!
Now that we have arrived in this era of strife and bloodshed, and we are burdened with the deep hatred of extermination, not only can we not be nostalgic for the peace in this small courtyard, but we must also do our best to take every step in the future.
The road to heaven never needs to be weak and hesitant!
Out of the door, Feng Tong said: "Lang Jun, please get in the car!" ”
An ox cart is parked on the street, with two wheels and two wheels, the carriage is the most precious nanmu, shaped like a Taishi chair, with a roll on the roof, covered with a large curtain made of silk satin, embroidered with delicate and beautiful plum blossom patterns, silk tassels hanging from the four corners, and bronze ornaments on the frame, which is extremely luxurious. Xu You had seen this kind of ox cart in the tomb of Jiayu Guan Jin in Gansu Province in his previous life, and knew that it had a name called "Tong Yuan", which belonged to the high-class ox cart that the nobles of the gate valve could ride, because the wood was precious, so it was painted with its true color, and it was also called "clear oil car".
Xu You held the hand of the autumn equinox and was just about to board the ox cart, when Feng Tong stretched out his hand to stop it, and said in surprise: "Lang Jun, this ...... It's specially prepared for you, non-distinguished people are not allowed to ride, so let's walk with us on the autumn equinox......"
It's not that slaves can't ride ox carts, it's just that even ordinary officials and small landlords of the Shu clan are not qualified to ride such regulated vehicles, if it weren't for Xu You's previous identity and his relationship with the Yuan family, strictly speaking, he would not have this qualification now.
"Oh? When Yuan Gong went out to play, didn't the ox cart carry maids and prostitutes and concubines? ”
If this is placed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it can be regarded as a bit rude, but in this era when the atmosphere is open, the mind is emancipated, and the advocating of "etiquette is not set by our generation", it is very common.
Feng Tong was speechless, so he had to watch Xu You get into the ox cart with the autumn equinox. However, after getting on the ox cart, it was Xu Yougan's turn to stare at him, and he didn't feel it when he looked outside, but when he came in, he found that there was a horizontal table on the ground that was only three feet square in the car, and the rest of the ground could not lie down, so the two of them could only kneel side by side on a futon made of silk. Don't think about comfort or anything, but it's easier than walking barefoot. In addition, the advantage of the ox cart is that it is relatively stable, and there is no bumpy feeling like a horse-drawn cart, so you can endure it if you travel a long distance.
"Science and technology are the primary productive forces......
"Xiaolang, what did you say?"
Xu You knelt on the silk silk and muttered in a low voice, but the autumn equinox was not heard clearly, and he tilted his head and looked at him strangely.
"It's nothing, I just feel that the Yuan family has such a big reputation, and the ox cart is not as good as what our family used to abandon and use, so I feel a little disappointed."
Chenjun Yuan's family advocates purity, family style is humble and pure, there is no fundamental conflict with other major clans politically, and there is no accumulation of wealth economically, so it can travel among all forces, and after a hundred years of turmoil, it still stands in the top ranks of the family, of course, there is the wisdom he relies on to survive. For example, Yuan Lian, a famous scholar in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, was one of the representatives of the Yuan clan in Chen County, and Cao Cao once distributed carts to the officials to take the property in the army, no matter what, let them take it. Everyone is full of wealth, silk and jade, only Yuan Jian took hundreds of books, and the rewards he usually received were also given to others, he was very honest and honest, and was very respected by the world.
Xu You compares the quality of the ox cart, just complaining, no matter how much money the Yuan family has, he is countless times stronger than his current self. The autumn equinox raised his head, his clear eyes did not show a trace of hesitation, and said affirmatively: "With Xiaolang here, I believe that the Xu family will definitely have a better oxcart than this." ”
Xu You stayed for a while, but you have more confidence in me than myself, and suddenly laughed and said, "If there really is a day, I will make an ox cart made of gold for you!" ”
"Okay!" The autumn equinox will not take it seriously, curled his lips, and said jokingly: "Xiaolang can't talk doesn't count!" ”
Xu You stretched out his fingers, hooked her little finger, pulled it, and said, "Pull the hook and hang yourself, do what you say!" ”
Autumn Equinox raised his little finger and looked at it, and said strangely: "Pull the hook and hang yourself?" What is this for? ”
Xu You's head is big, isn't there this kind of game term among children circulating in this era, so he had to pretend to be mysterious: "This is the secret of the two of us, as long as the promised thing is checked, once it is hooked, it can no longer be changed!" ”
Autumn Equinox blinked, but it was a little cute, nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Well, I know, this is the secret of the two of us!" She also deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "we".
The sound of squeaking and rubbing sounded, the ox cart moved slowly all the way, walked past the noodle shop of Ming Ji, walked through the teahouse of a tea, Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhou gathered in front of the iron shop of Ngawang's house to chat and gossip, Yu Bo's son carried the fish basket and ran quickly to the fish market at the lively time, those who knew and did not know, one by one, shook in front of their eyes, as if the scenes of life left in Yixing County over the years flashed from front of their eyes again. When I was about to arrive at the wharf, I looked up and saw the huge Wubao Manor on Yanliu Lake in the distance, which now only had some remnants left by the fire, standing strong in the warm autumn sun, telling the world about the shining glory and respect of the years.
The tears of the autumn equinox were silently left down her cheeks, that was her home, where she grew up, but since that night, the home was gone, the people were gone, the panic, the fear, the fear, the helplessness and the confusion of not knowing where to go, almost made this little girl who was only thirteen years old completely collapse, but, fortunately, fortunately...... Xiaolang is still alive, and she is not left with nothing!
A tough but gentle arm stretched out and gently held her in his arms, and the head of the autumn equinox was pressed against Xu You's chest, biting his lower lip to prevent his cry from being heard by people outside: "Xiaolang...... Lord Lang and the main mother, as well as Saburo Goro and them, their bones were all buried in the mass grave in the back mountain, and there was no place to worship...... Woo woo, I, my heart hurts......"
Xu You lowered his head, wiped the blood oozing from her lips, and then slowly spread out his hands, looking in his eyes, as if he saw the Yanliu Lake that night stained red with blood again.
"Don't cry, you have to hold your breath, if you hold it, it won't disperse, with this breath, the Xu family will definitely rise again, and we will come back openly!"
