Chapter 229: A Taste of the World (Part I)

And Biaoyan Guiwan and Xu Moqing were by the bonfire under the stars, snuggling up to each other and falling asleep. Maybe it was a fluke, this night, they never met a wild cat again, let alone a wild wolf and other fierce beasts.

Later, when Yan Guiwan occasionally recalled this night, she always thought that the souls of the soldiers in the martyrs' graves not far away were blessing her and Xu Moqing in the dark.

Tomorrow, as Xu Moqing expected, it will be a good weather with clear skies. In the early morning, everything wakes up in the woods, making people feel full of life. But such a beautiful scene, Yan Guiwan and Xu Moqing did not see it carefully. For the two of them had fallen into the carriage and slept with their heads covered.

Originally, it was agreed to switch positions with Jiuying Qiusheng in the middle of the night, but their wives should be too tired and overslept in the arch compartment and did not wake up; And Yan Guiwan and Xu Moqing were also in a daze, and they didn't think of waking up the two big officials at all.

In the early morning of the next day, the two of them couldn't hold on at all, so they ran to the carriage and fell asleep. It's also a good choice to let Qiusheng and Jiuying, who are full of spirits, go back on horseback, at least the two of them won't go the wrong way again!

While the two masters were sleeping in the carriage, Jiuying and Qiusheng took out the map again and surveyed it seriously before they drove on the road. It's just that today it was replaced by Jiuying riding a horse and a Qiusheng car. Because in this way, the nine warblers can go ahead more, and if they find that the route is wrong, they can also correct it in time. Jiuying is a woman after all, and it is always difficult to teach a boy to do such a hard errand in the autumn.

"Sister Ying, you should be slower, the two masters are still asleep, and we can't go too fast."

"I blamed me for not being good last night, sleeping so hard, and actually teaching the masters to stay up all night outside."

"Hey, damn it, damn it! Follow the masters to pamper yourself, and the more you can't stand the hardships, you have to pay attention to it in the future. ”

"There's no intention to talk about this afterwards, I estimate that if we walk at this speed now, we will be able to enter Yancheng City tomorrow."

Qiusheng weighed the water bladder behind him a few times and the dry food in the package, "Before we came out, Tong Sheng and Lingguan'er prepared enough, and there are quite a lot left." But when I arrived in Yancheng, I still had a lot of supplies, and it was only a few days since I came out, so I might be able to encounter some unexpected situation in the future! ”

Qiusheng suddenly mentioned the two of them, and Jiuying couldn't help but feel sad. For so many years, she and Jiu Ling have been with Yan Gui Wan, and she didn't feel anything when she came out in the past, but this time for some reason, I always felt very sad in my heart, as if I would never see her again.

"I wonder if they're doing at home?" Jiuying sighed.

Qiusheng also talked about Tongsheng and said, "I don't know if Tongsheng's illness has been cured?" He has been sick for more than ten days, and he secretly cried for a while on the day we left. He and I have served by Xu Lang's side since we were children, and this time Xu Lang only took me out, and his dead brain couldn't turn around. ”

Jiuying flicked the whip twice, and after "driving" a few times, he said: "I must not be glad that you and I are married and it is more convenient to travel, otherwise where can there be this creation to walk with the two masters." ”

As his wife was talking, he suddenly noticed that scattered stalls and villages began to appear on both sides of the loess road, and occasionally a few pedestrians passed by them. Seeing this, Jiuying rode to a small stall and asked carefully before walking back.

"What's wrong with Sister Ying? In front of Yancheng City? ”

"This time we are on the right track, and we can walk more than ten miles to Yancheng."

When Qiusheng heard this, he hurriedly turned around and replied to the carriage, only to hear Xu Moqing say: "Very good, then let's find a nearby village to rest, and then go into the city in one go." ”

When Jiuying and Qiusheng heard the order, they stopped at the gate of the village where they had just asked for directions. At this time, Xu Moqing had already woken up, and Yan Guiwan was still asleep. Xu Moqing gently shook her a few times before she sat up sleepily.

Yan Guiwan inhaled with his nose, "There is food outside." Before he could slow down, he jumped out of the car.

The shopkeeper, Xiao Er, led them in and sat down, but it was a simple village made up of a few old and greasy Eight Immortal Tables and a thatched shed. But the hungry on the road can still be found with the aroma wafting from the cauldron.

"What do you want to eat?" Xiao Er asked with a smile.

Yan Guiwan rubbed her cheeks and asked, "Is there old noodle soup in that pot?" ”

Xiao Er leaned over and replied: "Exactly, our old noodle soup is strong!" ”

"Serve us four bowls!"

After Yan Guiwan finished speaking, the little two were stunned, "You two want to eat four bowls?" We've got a big bowl! ”

"What about the Nine Orioles and Qiusheng? Why didn't they come in? Yan Guiwan finally woke up completely, and saw that there was only Xu Moqing beside him.

Xu Moqing said to Xiao Er first: "You just care about me, we still have two people at the door, and we will come in in a while." ”

Xiao Er went down to prepare, Xu Moqing stretched out her hand and flicked her forehead, "Wake up at night, everything is in that car, how can you leave people easily?" ”

Yan Guiwan made a "got it" expression, and then urged Xiao Er to hurry up.

But before the old noodle soup was served, I saw a sneaky little beggar sneaking in from the village. Looking at her, she should be a seven or eight-year-old girl, dressed in tattered clothes, barefoot and unkempt, and dirty. She looked hungry to the limit, staring at the remaining half bowl of noodles eaten by the guests at the next table, rubbing it over, picking up the bowl and stuffing it into her mouth with her bare hands.

The little girl was stuffed into it and before she could chew it, she was caught by Xiao Er. Xu was the reason why she was too thin, Xiao Erti slipped up the back of her shirt, and didn't seem to use much force, so he still sent her outside.

"Little Wang Balamb, how many times have I been caught? Again, again break your legs! Xiao Er said sharply.

Yan was about to get up and take care of it when she returned to the evening, Xu Moqing hurriedly pressed her arm and signaled, "Wan'er, don't." ”

"It's just a bite to eat, that kid is too young." She generates compassion.

Xu Moqing frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but Yan Guiwan had already asked him to look outside. I saw that the little girl was beaten and scolded by Xiao Er and was silent, and the noodles in her mouth that had not had time to chew were accidentally spit on the ground when Xiao Er was still out just now. At the moment, she was lying on the ground and picking it up and stuffing it back into her mouth.

Xu Moqing's heart also softened, and he gradually let go of Yan Guiwan's hand. She immediately got up, took the old noodle soup that Xiao Er was going to bring to them, and hurried out.

"Don't pick it up, eat this, count it in mine." Yan Guiwan brought the noodle bowl to her.

The little girl raised her head and looked at her timidly, wanting to take it but not daring to take it.

Yan Guiwan pulled her up and sat on a big stone next to the village, "It's okay, I paid for it, give it to you!" ”

She handed the noodle bowl to the little girl, and Jiuying had already sent a pair of chopsticks over quickly. The little girl was still silent, and slowly took the noodle bowl and chopsticks into her hands, and began to eat them in large gulps.

"You slow down, it's not enough for me to ask for another bowl." Yan Guiwan sat beside her and said with concern.

Xiao Er in the village smiled helplessly, looked back at Xu Moqing who stayed in front of the Eight Immortals table and said, "A few of you are from Kyoto, right?" ”

Xu Moqing nodded yes, Xiao Er took good care of him, turned around and took two bowls of old noodle soup for Jiuying and Qiusheng. After everything was taken care of, Xiao Er was idle beside Xu Moqing, and said with a smile: "You were born at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and all you see are prosperous scenes. If you want to sympathize with such a little beggar, then your sympathy will not be enough. ”

"What does the lady mean?" Xu Moqing looked at her puzzled.

Xiao Er bowed and said: "Don't be embarrassed, you can't talk about the female monarch, call me a little lady, I will thank you!" ”

Xu Moqing smiled and said, "Annoying little lady to talk about it for us." ”

The little two sides said: "We are in the wilderness, and we don't see too many little beggars like that." I've connived at this and that one to come again, do we still want to do it in this store? ”

"Don't the officials care? Just condoning starvation everywhere? ”

Yan Guiwan had folded back with the empty bowl, and the little girl had disappeared without a trace. Her expression didn't look as friendly as it had been, as if she had been stung by something.

"What Xiaoniang said is that my wife has softened her heart, and Xiaosheng will definitely persuade her more in the future." Xu Moqing pulled Yan Guiwan's coat again and motioned for her to sit down and not say anything more.

Xiao Er keenly looked at Xu Moqing again, and dared to love him for being a "man dressed as a woman"! This is different from Dafeng City, and then look at the dress and style of this group of people, and estimate that their size is also the number one.

Yan Guiwan's cheeks bulged, "That little kid doesn't say a word of thanks, and I don't want her to thank me for anything." But she actually lifted up my whole body of dirt, threw down the bowl and snatched the chopstick. ”

As soon as Xiao Er heard that there was a lack of a pair of chopsticks, he wanted to claim compensation from Yan Guiwan, so Xu Moqing preemptively said: "Count it on us, don't worry, little lady." As he spoke, he called Qiusheng to come in and settle the bill with Xiao Er.

Xiao Er didn't say anything more when he saw that they were generous, but before they left, he persuaded them to be careful on the road.

The four of them got back on the road, Yan Guiwan rolled up the curtain of the arch box, sat on both sides with Xu Moqing, and was still talking about the little beggar he had just met and the little second in the village.

"That little lady's attitude is very normal, the world is so big, how can the empress take care of everyone, where there will be such a beggar. If we see too much and sympathize more, we will become numb like that little lady. ”

"But I've never seen it in Kyoto! I only thought that there were people who couldn't eat in a city like Liangcheng that was stuffed on the side. Yan Guiwan said angrily.

Jiuying turned her head slightly and said, "Evening Lord, there are also in Kyoto, you haven't been to a small home." That's the case with the small home, it's just that you don't know it. ”

"Did you hear that night? If the environment of Jiuying's family is still good, how could her Lao Zi Niang sell her to Yan Mansion as a slave. Xu Moqing said.

Yan Guiwan knew that what they said was reasonable, but he still refused to bow his head, "When did I treat Jiuying as a slave!" ”

Jiuying smiled in front of him: "The evening lord treats Jiuying well!" ”

As he was talking, more than a dozen little beggars suddenly ran out from both sides of the loess road, all of whom were the little girl just now. They swarmed and surrounded Yan Guiwan's carriage. These little ones either stepped forward to hold the hands and feet of the nine warblers, or blocked the direction of the horse's head.

Qiusheng hurriedly jumped off his horse, trying to blast them away, but when he saw that they were deadlocked, he made a gesture to fight. Yan Guiwan was stunned for a few moments, and then heard clearly that they were begging again and again.

Xu Moqing hesitated for a while, and then said to Qiusheng: "Qiusheng, give them a few copper plates." ”

This time, Yan Guiwan was a little hesitant, "Brother, do we really want to give them money?" ”

"If you don't give it, you're afraid you won't be able to go, they're all children, and you can't really beat them."

Qiusheng obeyed Xu Moqing's instructions, took some copper plates out of his pocket, and distributed them to the dozen or so little beggars. They took the money, naturally got out of the way, and after a while, they disappeared.

"W-where did all this come from?" Qiusheng muttered while helping Jiuying pull his shirt flat.

Yan Guiwan reflected on herself, "It should have been brought by that little ghost." ”

"Let's eat a trench and grow wise!" Xu Moqing remembered the "proverbs" of the shopkeeper when he left, and now he knows what it means.

Just when they thought that the matter had been resolved, another wave of beggars who looked old, weak, sick and disabled came out of front of them. Yan Guiwan repented, he really shouldn't have sympathized with others so easily, but it was too late, and those people had already surrounded him......
