On a May afternoon, the fields are filled with the fragrance of flowers, and wildflowers of all colors are blooming, red, pink, and blue, and the official road is dotted with extraordinarily gorgeous colors. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info blazing sun, butterflies and bees dance from the wildflower-dotted meadows.

Discordant cicada chirps, hoarse in the bushes and woods......

The rice has also entered the pre-maturity filling period, and the old farmers with baskets on their backs and farm tools are in groups of threes and fives, humming wild tunes, chatting about the harvest, and going to the farmland along the wide official road. When they were about to reach the farmland, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind them, which attracted the attention of the old farmers, who turned to look back.

I saw in the distance, the chariots, horses and horses, and the wide official road were all rolling up smoke and dust.

"Who is this?" The old peasants looked at each other, and they couldn't see clearly from a distance, but they could only see the carriages and horses vaguely.

However, it didn't make them wonder for long, and soon, this huge carriage and horse were less than thirty meters away from everyone, and they could see it clearly. After seeing a little more clearly, these old peasants crawled to both sides of the official road and avoided the road in time.

Although the common people can also walk on the official road, when they encounter officials traveling, the common people must avoid it in time, otherwise they will violate the legal prohibition. Under normal circumstances, even if the official errand passes, the common people have to avoid both sides of the official road, and wait for the official errand to pass in a proper manner.

There is nothing wrong with the common people, the official way, the official cultivator, you have to let the family go first.

Ten horses came whizzing in two rows, and when the old peasant approached, he lifted the reins, slowed down his horse, and galloped forward slowly. On the war horse was a heavily armed sergeant, with an expression on his face and a glance at the old peasants on both sides of the prostrate, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon, and he saw that he was not carrying a sharp blade or other things, and there was indeed no safety hazard, so he withdrew his gaze.

After the horses were strategized, the old peasants glanced at them quietly, and then breathed carefully, the weather was hot in May, but the horse sergeants who had just passed were fully armed from top to bottom, helmets, ear guards, neck guards, shoulder armor, body armor, breastplate, leg armor......

At a glance, it can be seen that they are completely different from those soldiers in the guard, and those eyes can only be had after experiencing life and death bloody battles.

After the ten leading horses, there was a huge convoy, which stretched for a long time, with a total of seven or eight carriages, each of which had a triangular red flag with the word "Li". There are uniformly dressed guards in front and back of the convoy, riding horses to patrol back and forth.

The carriage in the middle of the convoy is larger than the carriage in front and behind, the carriage has four windows, like a moving house, the workmanship is more exquisite, the wide carriage is carved with flowers, three horses with bright fur horses, two flags are inserted on the roof of the cornice, in addition to the triangular "Li" red flag, there is also a red "Zhu" red flag.

"What about the three-horse carriage......"

"Grandiose, which official is traveling with his family. When the time comes, we can also sit in that carriage. ”

After the convoy walked away, the people on the side of the creeping road got up gaspingly, patted the dust on their bodies, looked at the traces of the carriages and horses, and were envious.

"What do you dream about in the daytime, planting your land is fundamental."

An old farmer slapped his little son who was standing on the side hard, and also woke everyone up, and then the old farmers glanced at it from a distance with envy, and then took their farm tools and walked towards the field.

The huge convoy in front of it made a stretch of progress along the official road, and when the official road detoured, it changed to another straighter road and continued to the north.

Changed lanes several times and headed north.

I don't know how long I walked, but all this time, the carriage and horses, which had not stopped, slowly stopped.

"It's almost time to get to the capital, why don't you leave?"

The largest carriage in the middle sounded a girl's inquiry, a small hand pushed open a window from the inside, and then a girl with a bun face with baby fat poked her head out of the inside, puffing out her mouth to inquire about the nursing home outside the carriage, urging to move forward.

"I'm sorry for the painting girl, please return to Miss Yu, I can't go forward for the time being, the wooden bridge in front is broken, although the river is not wide, but the water is not shallow, and I can't wade across the river." Hearing the sound, he rode over and pointed to the river in front of him to reply.

"What then?" The bun-faced girl wrinkled her bun face.

"I sent someone to the village to ask for directions, there are no other bridges nearby, the nearest one is ten miles downstream, but because there are mountains on the other side of the river downstream, I have to detour more than 20 miles after crossing the river...... "The guard replied.

"Ah...... It's all at this point, and it will be evening in another hour, and after crossing the river and going around so far, it will take another day to walk......" When the bun-faced girl heard this, she pursed her lips and her eyebrows furrowed.

"Miss, this is miserable...... I asked clearly, the bridge in front is broken, and there is another bridge ten miles downstream, but I have to make a detour of more than twenty miles after crossing the bridge......" The bun-faced girl retracted her head from the outside and replied to the girl sitting in the middle, anxious.

The carriage was comfortably furnished, with curtains hanging on all sides, a rosewood coffee table with built-in fruit bowls and teas, and a Ru kiln flower sac, full of freshly picked wildflowers; There is also a small stove in front of the coffee table, which is fixed by an elaborate shelf designed by the craftsman to prevent bumps; Near the window there is a shelf with a dowry and a glass mirror inlaid with copper inlays.

Behind the coffee table was a soft collapse, covered with a moderately thick silk silk, and a delicate girl leaned on the soft collapse.

The girl has a delicate appearance, a white complexion, dark eyes like ink, a little powder, lips like cherry petals, and an indescribable beauty.

The long black hair is like a spring, and a bride's hair bun is pulled, and the hair ornaments on the bun are clearly layered, exquisite and luxurious, with gold wire woven as flower branches, stamens, decorated with red jewels, and there are golden butterflies hanging down, with the trembling of the carriage, the drooping golden butterflies also shake. The golden hairpins on both sides of the bun and the pendants on the earlobes are also set with the step shake, lit with red beads and hung with red pearls.

She wore a long red dress with gold threads, and she also outlined peonies and moire.

Absolutely beautiful and luxurious.

The face is as beautiful as a fairy, and the temperament is as luxurious as a princess.

"You can't take a detour, or you won't be able to catch up with the stinky clams...... It's my husband's birthday......"

The delicate girl was holding a volume of "The Book of Songs" in her hand, but her mind was not on the "Book of Songs", and after listening to the words of the maid of the bun, she shook her head slightly and turned her eyes to the window.

Seeing this, the maid of the bun obediently opened the window, so that her young lady could see the scene in front of her.

The delicate girl looked ahead through the window, and after a while, her black eyes lit up, and she called the girl with the bun to her and said a few words.

A moment later, the door opened, and the maid of the bun walked out, walked towards the river, and knocked on the door of a house by the river, accompanied by the guard.

This yard is a bit broken and doesn't taste very good.

"Hey, uncle, how much does your broken house cost?" The maid covered her nose and pointed to a wooden house in the old man's yard and asked.

"Ah, why?" The old man who opened the door was shocked.

"Would you like it or not?" The maid of the bun covered her nose and urged.

"Give me ten taels of silver, I'll ......" The old man who opened the door thought about it, he still has two houses, and this dilapidated house has not been lived in for several years, and it leaks......

Hearing this, the maid of the bun didn't think about it, so she took out a silver ticket of ten taels from the sachet on her waist, handed it to the old man, and then said, "If you remove a few long wooden strips from this broken house and repair the bridge in front of your door within two quarters of an hour, I will return your broken house to you." ”

"Really?" The old man's eyes lit up.

"You hurry up, from now on, I won't pay you back after the time." The maid urged.

The old man called a few neighbors, and soon removed a few beams from the broken house, and the bridge was repaired in two quarters of an hour.

The convoy crossed the wooden bridge without stopping for a moment and continued on its way. (To be continued.) )
