After breakfast, Gao Han carried two bags of steamed buns into the carriage, and he knew that he would have to rely on these two bags of steamed buns for the past few days.

The group left Feixiangyi, passed through Tai'an Prefecture, and then to Ningyang, along the way there was really nothing better than this white-flour steamed bun, which could have lasted three days of steamed bread, and everyone still saved to eat, but it was only two days later, and the two cloth bags were already empty.

In the carriage, Jinxiu looked at Zhu Youzhen and said, "Son, are you hungry?" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, shook his head and did not speak.

Jinxiu took out half of the steamed bun from her arms and handed it to Zhu Youzhen and said: "Childe, this is what I kept, you can eat it quickly, I saw that you gave all the steamed buns to those victims in the morning, but you haven't eaten a bite." ”

Zhu Youzhen pushed the steamed bun back and said, "You can keep it and eat it, young master, I'm not hungry." ”

After speaking, Zhu Youzhen didn't look at the splendid scenery, he got up and took a step forward to lift the sedan curtain and said to Gao Han, who was riding a horse in front: "I won't enter the city today, and it's the same if I want to come to Ningyang City, let's go faster, try to get to Qufu before dark, where the Yansheng Mansion is located, the situation should be better, and there should always be a place to eat and live." ”

Gao Han looked back at Zhu Youzhen and said: "Childe, there are still sixty miles away from Qufu here, I'm afraid that we may not be able to get there before dark, if we can't advance the city gate through the gate, we will have to sleep outside the city again." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Hurry up, if you really can't catch up, you can't catch up, didn't you already have the experience of sleeping outside last night, and sleeping out for another night is not a big deal, not to mention that even if you enter Ningyang, you still have to sleep on the streets?" Didn't you sleep out in Chengli in Tai'an yesterday? ”

Gao Han said no more, he and Hu Bao flicked their horses, and then accelerated their speed and moved forward, and the three carriages behind immediately followed.

When the group arrived at the city of Qufu, it was completely dark, and as Gao Han said, the city gate of Qufu had been closed early.

When the carriage stopped, not only Gao Han and Hu Bao were very tired riding horses, but also the few people in the carriage behind them were very uncomfortable because the carriage was running very quickly.

Luo Yangxing walked to the city gate, looked at the tall city wall and the closed city gate in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Qufu is just a county seat, and the city wall is about to catch up with Beijing, and even the city gate is closed so early." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "This is where the Yansheng Mansion is located, the dynasty has changed for an unknown number of generations, only the Yan Shenggong has survived for thousands of years, Lao Luo is afraid that he has never seen the Yansheng Mansion, right?" But I don't know how much grandeur is more magnificent than my mansion, and it is only a little worse than the palace in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Luo Yangxing was very puzzled and said: "Isn't it beyond the limit for a duke's palace to be built with such grandeur?" I'm afraid that even the palace will not dare to build it, which is only a little worse than the palace, right? But Fifth Brother, you haven't seen the Yansheng Mansion either, how do you know? ”

Zhu Youzhen was speechless for a while, and he couldn't say that he had visited before, so he said vaguely: "The Holy Master of Dacheng is admired by people all over the world, and I have naturally heard of it, and you have never heard of it if you don't learn or know how to do it." ”

As soon as he heard Zhu Youzhen mention the Holy Master, Luo Yangxing knew that he didn't read much, so how could he go to deal with him again, he leaned against the city gate and looked inside the crack in the door, and saw someone guarding inside, so Luo Yangxing turned his head and said excitedly to Zhu Youzhen and a few people: "Alas, someone, someone." ”

After speaking, Luo Yangxing lifted the door knocker and smashed it vigorously on the city gate.

After only a few blows, a scolding voice came from inside the city gate: "Who is so bold? The gates are closed, come back tomorrow morning. ”

Luo Yangxing rushed to this and said: "I am the general banner of Jinyi Wei, and now I want to enter the city, and I will open the door to the master quickly." ”

Luo Yangxing's voice fell, and he heard a burst of ridicule from inside the door, "Hahaha...... Jinyi Wei General Banner, such a big majesty, Yansheng Mansion is in the city, not to mention a small Jinyi Wei General Banner, even if Jinyi Wei Qianhu comes, he will wait obediently outside the city until tomorrow morning before entering the city. ”

When Luo Yangxing heard that he was looked down upon by a small guard of the city gate, he couldn't help but be annoyed and said: "It's so arrogant, even if the palace is located, it won't be so domineering, just a Yan Shenggong will let you not even pay attention to the Jinyi guard, there is a kind of you open the city gate, and see that the master doesn't pick your skin." ”

The person inside the city gate was really afraid that he would be troubled by the Jinyi Guards in the future, he was not from the Yansheng Mansion, and he was not so big a backer, so he softened his tone and said: "Grandpa Jinyi Wei General Banner outside, don't be embarrassed by the small one, this is not a small slow treatment for you, even the rules of the capital only say that the city gate is locked, and it can't be opened. ”

As soon as he heard that the man at the city gate was called grandpa, Luo Yangxing was a little angry, and he "snorted" and stopped being angry with the person in the city gate.

Zhu Youzhen also heard the conversation between Luo Yangxing and the inside, he patted Luo Yangxing's shoulder and said, "Just spend another night outside, and it's easy to walk after the road behind Qufu." With that, he walked towards the carriage, in which he would sleep again tonight.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youzhen was in a daze, and listened to the thud of the carriage being knocked outside.

Jinxiu was already in her heart, and hurriedly sat up and pulled Zhu Youzhen's robe sleeve and said, "Son, wake up." ”

Zhu Youzhen opened his eyes, looked outside a little impatiently, and then rubbed his eyes and lifted the sedan curtain and got out of the carriage, and it was only dawning at this time.

As soon as he jumped out of the car, Zhu Youzhen saw a group of people outside the carriage, which immediately startled him, if it wasn't for the root of the city wall, he thought he had encountered robbers.

It's just that Zhu Youzhen immediately came to his senses, and after a closer look, these people were all dressed in green clothes and hats, and they looked like they were from some big family.

I don't know what these people are doing around the carriage, Zhu Youzhen is very dissatisfied and said: "Disturbing people's dreams early in the morning, this thing is immoral, what is the matter here?" ”

A group of people watched him and did not speak, when a man standing next to the carriage stepped forward and said, "Please move the carriage and occupy our place." ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at this person, dressed slightly differently from other family members, he should be a steward, looking at the place where he was standing before, he should have done the thing of knocking on the carriage, this person said "trouble" in his mouth, but the expression on his face was arrogant, not so polite at all.

Zhu Youzhen said very politely: "Occupy your place?" When did the base of this wall become a land of lords? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty belongs to your family? This son has only heard of the whole world is not the king's land, I don't know which prince is in your mansion? ”

The man was very disrespectful when he heard Zhu Youzhen's words, and couldn't help frowning and said: "The head of the family, Yan Shenggong, although he is not the prince, is deeply admired by scholars all over the world, even if the prince sees my lord, he has to pay three points of respect, where did this young man come from so ignorant of the sky?" Our young master has been setting up a tent here for several days, but today it is occupied by your carriage, so don't get out of the way quickly. ”

"No wonder even a slave dares to be so arrogant, it turns out that this slave is from the Yansheng Mansion, "Confucius's Family Language" has a saying, 'Dunli Teaching', is this how you imitate your ancestors? The gentleman of Wei Zhi is mostly self-sustaining with etiquette, and even the servants of Yan Shenggong have learned to fight people, it seems that together with the etiquette and religion, the Yan Shenggong Mansion is also very loose, which is deeply admired by the world's scholars, and it will not be mentioned in the future, at least I am a little disdainful of this scholar. ”

The man was suddenly startled when he heard this, even if you quietly scolded the emperor in Qufu, it would be fine, but if you dared to slander the Holy Duke of Yan, it would be fatal, he hurriedly defended: "You, you, strong words, when did I disrespect my ancestors, I just asked you to move the carriage, when did the dog fight the people?" Bah, you are the dog, you scholars have a lot of twists and turns in their stomachs, they don't spit dirty words when they scold, and they like to punish their hearts when they kill people, I also have great respect for our ancestors, how can I ......"

Zhu Youzhen didn't wait for the man to finish stammering before interrupting: "We scholars? Your Yansheng Mansion is a model for scholars, don't you say that scholars are even slandered by your family masters? Oh, and you say that you are loyal, I think you are really a big rebel. ”

This person didn't read much, where could he talk about Zhu Youzhen, he was so angry that he pointed at Zhu Youzhen with his finger when he heard these heart-wrenching words, and he couldn't say a word, but he didn't say a word completely, but "you, you, you ......" for a long time and didn't follow.

Just when Zhu Youzhen wanted to say more, a person pushed away the surrounding family and walked in, he patted the shoulder of the person who was refuted and couldn't speak, then looked at Zhu Youzhen, and then saluted Zhu Youzhen and said: "The lesson of the little boy is that the subordinates don't understand the rules, please forgive me for the disturbances, since the son is unwilling to let us go to another place." ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at this person, in his twenties, wearing a purple satin gown, with a peacock feather inserted in the back collar, looking very coquettish, even if he was wearing it in the capital, he could lead the fashion trend, just looking at this dress aroused Zhu Youzhen's interest. He looked at this man: "Your Excellency should be the young master in this person's mouth, right?" If you don't know, you still think that the Yansheng Mansion has not taught the people to be so arrogant, or think that the people of the Yansheng Mansion are so arrogant, or think that the people of the Yansheng Mansion are so domineering, isn't it damaging the reputation of the Yansheng Gonggong? ”

The young master said yes, smiled, and then said to those family members: "Change the place to build a shed." After speaking, he saluted Zhu Youzhen and said, "Farewell." ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "Let's go, you don't have to change places, it's troublesome to change around." With that, he turned around and prepared to beckon the others into the city.

At this time, it happened that Jinxiu lifted the sedan curtain and looked out, seeing Zhu Youzhen returning, she hurriedly asked, "How is the son?" So many people didn't embarrass the son, right? ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "It's okay, the city gate is open, and we can enter the city." ”

The young master in the purple robe with the peacock feather just glanced in the direction of the carriage and froze.
