I was going to leave for Longzhou at dawn, but it suddenly rained in the second half of the night, in the sound of the rain, the dog slept more and more sweetly, woke up, thought the rain would stop, but pushed the window to see, it was still dense rain, looking up at the sky in the distance, the black pressure was like the night, this is good, except for sleeping, you can't do it.

After eating the breakfast sent by the little maid, the dog took off his shoes and went to bed, found a comfortable position, clamped the soft quilt between his legs, closed his eyes, and opened it again It was afternoon.

The thin curtain of windows can't hold back the mottled halo, just like a thick belly that can't hide the sound of hunger that gurgles.

So the dog had to get dressed and get out of bed, when a bowl of steaming pork fat sausage noodles was in the belly, this mood was as beautiful as the colorful auspicious clouds blooming in the sky.

"Dog, are we leaving tomorrow?"

Glancing at Wang Hou who was squatting on the ground playing with mud, the dog smiled, "If you are really reluctant to leave home, then stay, anyway, I am going to go back to participate in the imperial examination, and it is okay for you to follow me." ”

"But my dad told me to follow you!"

"Hehe, your father is just talking, don't take it seriously!"

"But I do want to follow you!"

Wang Hou rubbed the mud in his hand into a ball, threw it into the distance, and then turned to look at the official office behind him and said silently.

"If you want to play with us, then come together, if you are really homesick, you will come back again, a manly man, indecisive and despised!"

Hua Fourteen, who was holding a knife in his hand and scraping the shaft of the arrow again, saw Wang Housa's pettiness, so he pouted and laughed at him.

Family and friendship, sometimes it is really difficult to choose, especially for Wang Hou, who has never left Qingshui Village since he was born, this choice is even more difficult.

On the one hand, it is the family affection that is difficult to give up, and on the other hand, it is the curiosity to explore the great world outside with the partners.

"Why don't you ask your father?"

Naturally, the dog would not call the shots for him, so he threw this problem to his father.

Wang Hou sighed, washed his hands in the puddle on the side of the road, and then kicked his shoes and went to the yamen.

"Shall we leave tomorrow morning?" Seeing Wang Hou walking away, Hua Fourteen raised his head and asked the dog excitedly.

The dog raised his head to look at the rainbow that was slowly dissipating and said: "Yes, the sooner I go back, I can do this errand earlier, and I can study with peace of mind earlier, by the way, I heard them say, you want to take the martial arts test?" ”

Hua Fourteen smiled slightly, and also looked up at the rainbow that was about to disappear and said, "So that I can go to Lin'an Dadu with you!" ”

The dog gently punched him on the shoulder and said: "Good brother, I heard that Lin'an has a population of one million, and there is a hundred miles of royal streets, it is said that you can play happily for three days and three nights, and it is not lively, let's go and see it together!" ”

"Good!"

Hua Fourteen nodded heavily.

Yesterday's heavy rain was like a heavy pigment dyed in plain yarn, the mountains and forests in the distance looked greener, the gurgling streams on the side of the road were a little thicker, and the red, yellow, and white unknown little wildflowers shook their little heads to greet the pedestrians on the road, and then were trampled into a pile of mud by the jealous horses' hooves.

"Wang Zhizhai, let's go!"

The dog arched his hand and said goodbye to Wang Jian and his entourage, who wanted to send it out of the village.

"It's okay, I'll give you another ride!"

Wang Zhizhai rode a horse, and his old mother and the Hun family followed closely in the carriage.

The dog turned his head to look at the elated Wang Hou and the reluctant Wang Jian family at the front of the team, and sighed heavily.

"Master Wangzhai, if you continue to send it like this, you won't be able to go back to Qingshui Village at night! Why don't I go and tell Wang Hou to go back? ”

"Okay, well, forget it!" Wang Jian shook his head and said: "He is not young, and it is a good thing for him to go out to see the world, it is better than him nesting in this small cottage!" ”

The dog echoed, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the carriage lane behind: "But several sisters-in-law and mother-in-law seem to be reluctant!" ”

Wang Jian turned his head to look at the Hun family who wiped his tears with a handkerchief, sighed and said: "There is no way to do it, she can't persuade her!" ”

"Why don't I try it?" The dog suggested.

Wang Jian nodded.

The dog shouted, rode a mule to Wang Hou, who was looking around, and said, "Wang Hou! ”

"What's the matter, dog?"

"Your mother and your grandmother are reluctant to let you go!"

Wang Hou looked back at the carriage, his expression darkened, and after a while, he said with passion: "Last night, my father said that the eldest husband should be ambitious in all directions, and some children's personal feelings should be discussed after they become famous!" ”

"Ahem! I didn't say it! Wang Jian, who came with him, covered his head and regretted.

Last night with a few colleagues to eat, a little drunk, back to the house, happened to hear Wang Hou ask him his idea, a moment of mouth bald out, obedient Wang Hou took it seriously, the family took turns to persuade each other, and even doubled the monthly money He insisted on going out to have a good time.

"No, you said it! You persuaded me to join the army! Wang Hou accused him.

"I was drunk and drunk, I can't count!"

Wang Jian's back was chilled by his wife and mother, and he hurriedly defended himself.

"Although you are talking drunk, my son thinks that what Daddy said is very right! How can a husband live in this small cottage for the rest of his life! I'm going out and make a show! Wang Hou clenched his fists, looking at the round sun in the sky, sincerely full of ambition.

"But your mother can't bear you!" Wang Jian persuaded in a low voice.

"Now this world is the time when my sons and daughters have made meritorious contributions, father, you go back and tell your mother and grandmother, just say that the children are going to make a name for themselves, and then come to them to inherit filial piety when they get results!"

"Okay, good, my son is so ambitious, what, go and talk to your mother!"

Wang Jian really had no choice, so he had to let his son say it.

"Okay, I'll talk to my mother!" Wang Hou also understood his father's difficulty, so he took the reins and returned to the carriage, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were secretly wiping their tears, saw Wang Hou returning, and said with a look of anticipation: "My son, are you going back to the village?" ”

"No, mother, I'm going to break outside, you and grandmother go back, don't worry, I'll come back to pick you up after I get fame!"

It is not easy to stop the son who has the ambition to be a mother, so he has to whisper goodbye with tears.

"Go back, Grandmother! Don't catch a cold at night! ”

"Good grandson, you also have to pay attention to your body!"

The most important thing that people can't let go of when they are old is their children and grandchildren, but after all, after most of their lives, they also know that there are only benefits and no disadvantages for their grandchildren to go out, so they are reluctant but have no choice, so they have to ask him to go home from time to time.

Wang Hou nodded heavily, then turned his head to his mother and said, "Mother, go back, I will write back to you from time to time!" ”

The two of them began to persuade him from dawn, but they didn't persuade their son to return to their hearts, and they said everything they could say, so they had to reluctantly say goodbye:

"My Hou'er, you must write back more! I'm looking forward to it for my mother."

"I know mother, drive!"

Wang Hou whipped fiercely, sat down and the horse went away.

When the dog saw it, he said to Wang Zhizhai, "I will urge him to write a letter back", and urged his mount to chase after him.

Seeing his son's figure leave, Wang Jian sighed and returned to the carriage, and when he looked up, two cold eyes looked over.

Wang Jian said embarrassedly: "Why don't we go back first?" ”

"Wang Jian! You pay me back! ”

After a vivid parting drama, the group began to rush to Longzhou, and when they encountered a flat place, all the staff accelerated, and the dangerous mountain road began to slow down, and the only adult and sound man in the team, the only adult and sound man in the team, was naturally the most tired, especially at night, and he had to be on duty at night, and the luck must be the luck, and the dog also saw it, so the only one in the team who could eat white rice and dry rice with slices of meat was only him.

Two carriages, plus three horses, two mules and a donkey are all the dog's belongings, the team is not big or small, the mountain bandits like it the most, but the dog carefully explores all the way, and it is a special road official road, and the road is relatively safe.

The war is over, and the common people can finally come out and wander around with confidence, so they can meet a group of people on the official road every once in a while.

The most encountered are the caravans that go south and north to do business, followed by large groups of homeless people who help the old and the young to return to the north, and these two groups of people will start to give way far away as long as they see the banner of the dog and his party.

The military flag of the Western Army and the official flag of the pacification envoy on the West Road of Gali Prefecture were generally out of the way when they saw it, not to mention the caravans and homeless people.

There was nothing wrong all the way, and two days later, Longzhou Prefecture City arrived.

Several people stood at the gate of the north city, and the head of the gatekeeper team on duty that day checked the identity signs of the people one by one and carefully registered them in the book, before waving to let the team enter the city.

I have seen the prosperous appearance of the big city of Jiezhou, and then look at the city of Longzhou at this time, there is no sense of shock when I first arrived, except for Wang Hou, the "family bird", everyone else is just a rough look, and then stepped into the city gate.

The endless cries of selling and the lively atmosphere of crowding and pushing came to the face, and the vigilance that had been raised on the road for days could finally be relaxed.

As an official who leads the errand, Gou'er naturally will not find an inn to stay, so a few people went to the post house and registered the official certificate, because Gou'er and his party were sent down to the state government office as an official of the "road level", and the post also specially allocated a separate courtyard for Gou'er.

There are three main rooms and two side rooms, and the goods in the team can be unloaded in the side rooms, and the mules and horses have their own post men to arrange for people to take care of and feed.

Everything was cleaned up, and the dog saw that it was not too late, so he called the two of them to pick up a burden and go out to buy some things.

In Longzhou, he is a nominal confidant of Su Da Fatty, so other officials can wait until tomorrow to visit, but he must come to the door tonight, otherwise it will be rude.

Shopping all the way and buying all the way, giving gifts to Shangguan are nothing more than two kinds, either expensive or distracted.

The dog is shy in his pocket, and he naturally chooses to go to the heart, what does Su Fatzi value most? Gold or silver......

Well, I didn't have it, so I had to settle for the second, is Su Da Fat okay? Well, beauty! Well, not by oneself, and again, gone!

Su Fatzi is not good at drinking, not good at mouth, and not good at gambling, and he is only slightly interested in the rest of the things, so the dog has been shopping for a long time, and he has not bought anything except a few boxes of supplements, so he has to change the target.

The gift to Su Fatzi is not easy to buy, but the gifts for his two sons are very simple, what rattles, paper kites, rickety little bamboo horses, and a lot of toys, so that the huge man with the bag behind him shouted that he couldn't take it.

The dog sighed when he saw that his body, hands, and neck were full of things, and that this man was not as strong as a four-legged animal.

I had to go over and share some with him, but I didn't have the strength to do it, so I only walked three or five hundred steps and took two breaths, so I couldn't help it, so the dog couldn't bear the pain and spent money to hire two great men.

Turned around and came out of a pediatric clinic, asked the sitting hall to take out two appetizing and digestible medicines, the dog's gift was fully prepared, and at a glance at the sky, it was when the yamen was on a business and led a few people to Su Tongju's mansion.
