442, family letter
Xu Xiaole was in such a hurry that he almost didn't even have time to keep up with Luo Yun. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luo Yun was originally affiliated with Jinyiwei Suzhou Thousand Households, and he came to Beijing on a business trip, and now he finally wants to "return to Suzhou". Suzhou is covered by his father, of course, he doesn't have to worry about being verbose if he goes back late. In fact, from the perspective of his father Luo Quan, the longer his son stays in Jingshi, the more people he knows, and the smaller the obstacles to taking up the post of Jinyi Wei Baihu in the future. Suzhou is good because the emperor is far away, and the bad is far away from the emperor in the sky, and being far away from the center of power is uneasy after all.
Luo Yun knew that his father would not blame him for going back late, but he didn't know why he wouldn't blame, he just thought that he was still a baby and was very loved. In order to send Xu Xiaole to Datong, he had to follow Xu Xiaole from Beijing to Henan, then cross the river from Henan, cross the Taihang Mountain, and finally arrive in Datong.
In terms of route, the way these two children walked was enough to make the old merchants laugh off their big teeth - everyone went north to the inner three passes, and they could go directly to Datong. At that time, the emperor also led the army out of this road. Since the army can walk, the pedestrians can walk.
However, Xu Xiaole also has his own reasoning, who knows if Cao Jixiang's dead eunuch sent someone to track down the assassination? Or maybe you ambushed the swordsman at the level ahead, just waiting for him to crash into it. Let Cao Jixiang compare Zhuge and Ji Sai Sima, and he couldn't guess that he would make a detour around most of the north.
This is simply not the thinking of normal people.
"Xiaole, you're so smart!" Luo Yun praised from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Xiaole laughed: "Fight with me, he's still a little stupid." Although he said that he was avoiding Cao Jixiang on the surface, he actually wanted to walk around and have fun. This way to the south, from the land of Yanzhao to the heart of the Central Plains, there are quite a lot of historical sites, all of which are legends and common in the book. Especially Xu Xiaole is still a diehard loyalist of Changshan Zhao Zilong, and he can pass by Zhending Mansion when he goes south, which is Zhao Zilong's hometown, so why not go?
Luo Yun's concept of this detour is still stuck in walking for three or five more days, and he doesn't know that this detour will be lost for a month. Fortunately, he was young and his brain was not bright, so he didn't have any objections.
Xu Xiaole unconsciously broke away from the study and the market, and walked into nature, talking more and more day by day. On the way, I saw that people could talk for a long time, not only learned the accents of various local dialects, but also learned a lot of local stories and myths. Xu Xiaole relayed it to Luo Yun, who only knew the official dialect of Jingshi and Su Bai, and he was full of interest when he spoke.
The two of them, plus a donkey and a monkey, just don't count the footsteps, and only know the general direction. Sometimes I occasionally hear interesting things from the mouth of the local elders, and I will change the direction at any time, so I have to have fun. It's also a shame that Xu Xiaole is a doctor, with excellent skills in his hands, and he doesn't worry about running out of food wherever he goes. Because there are too few reliable doctors on the market, many people who are not sick will not be able to help but come to see a doctor coming, especially a doctor with a good reputation, and they can't help but come to diagnose a pulse and ask about a disease - anyway, it is a matter of a mouthful of food and a handful of vegetables, and it is not expensive.
Xu Xiaole's ability to massage the bones is really convincing because of the cheap fees, and he has really made a name for himself along the way. In many places, people even wanted to keep him to live permanently, and were willing to build him a house and ask for a wife...... Xu Xiaole was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and when he heard the word "wife", he ran away overnight, as if he was being chased by a man-eating ghost.
The two of them stopped and played, and Mo Jing and Pipsqueak naturally did not object. After Pippi left the city, he was even more excited, and he wanted to climb the tree when he saw it, and the delay was not much compared to Xu Xiaole. Just when they were wandering between the mountains and rivers, Tong Wanqing, who was thousands of miles away, finally looked forward to a letter from Jingshi.
This letter was sent by Gao Ruonan on a special trip, unlike the person who brought the letter by the way, and asked for a sum of straw sandal money.
Tong Wanqing invited people to sit in the guest hall and drink tea, and went upstairs in the backyard with the letter. The whole family gathered upstairs and looked at Tong Wanqing with blank eyes, which made Tong Wanqing have an illusion for a while: what she was holding in her hand was not a letter, but an exquisite meal, and these people in front of her were already hungry with green eyes.
Hu Meiniang said quietly: "Xiaole, who has no conscience, has been gone for so long, and he only wrote a letter." After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that her tone was wrong, and she was a little weak-hearted, so she secretly glanced at Lao Anren. Lao Anren ignored her, and also stared at Tong Wanqing, eager to grab it and read it by herself.
Tong Wanqing sat down slowly under the eyes of the women, and said, "It's the messenger sent by Miss Gao, I heard that Master Gao has been promoted to Shandong to participate in politics, and he will go to work soon." It seems that the Gao family is safe. This is a mixed bag, the good thing is that the in-laws are fine, and the Gao family is also considered to be a blessing in disguise. The worry is that the Gao family has become an official eunuch again, how can his own Xiaole be worthy of the daughter of the official eunuch family? It seems that this brother and daughter-in-law are about to fly.
Hu Meiniang didn't dare to make a mistake at this time, and asked, "Master Gao is fine, what about Master Xu?" She has been kicked out of the Xu family, and "Master" has naturally become "Master Xu".
Tong Wanqing looked at the paper and frowned slightly.
Lao Anxin raised his throat: "What? What has happened to my son? ”
Tong Wanqing shook her head slightly.
Lao Anren's brows furrowed even tighter: "At my age, what haven't I ever seen?" Wanqing, don't be taboo, if you have anything to say, let's arrange the aftermath. As the old man spoke, his nose was sour, and his eyes were red...... At this point, it was all forgotten.
Tong Wanqing reluctantly handed the letter to Hu Meiniang: "Miss Gao's writing is too sloppy, and I can't recognize eight out of ten." ”
While Hu Meiniang took the letter, she suspected that Tong Wanqing was "leading to trouble", and she was also very nervous when she had any bad news to say. She lowered her head and looked at the letterhead, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, the words are too sloppy!" ”
When Gao Ruonan wrote this letter, he could still control his emotions at the beginning, so the sentence "Lao Anren, Sister Wanqing and Mudu Sisters Jade Da'an, seeing words are like meeting" can still be easily recognized. However, after this sentence, he began to denounce Xu Xiaole's various absurd stories in Beijing, and his emotions became more and more excited.
Although Tong Wanqing can read and write, she really only knows the rough text and ink - she has to devote unlimited time to raising her family, taking care of Xiaole, taking care of Xiaole, and taking care of Xiaole...... Among them, how can there be time to enhance learning?
Lao An still didn't let up, counting on Hu Meiniang: "Hurry up!" ”
After all, Hu Meiniang handed the letter to Mei Qing with both hands, and said embarrassedly: "Lao Anren, I don't know much about reading, so I still ask Mei Qing to read it safely." ”
Lao Anren said eagerly: "Why are you so unhappy? The old body is just trying to get my son's letter! ”
Mei Qing trembled and read the letter, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Great, master, he has already been released from prison!" Now I am walking in the cabinet, helping the cabinet elders to repair books, and I am very busy! ”
Lao Anren finally breathed a sigh of relief and scolded: "This rebel son stabbed the big basket, and after escaping, he didn't say that he wrote a letter to report safety, it's really unfilial!" ”
The women hurriedly explained the old man: "The master must have entrusted someone to bring the letter, but I am afraid that the messenger is not reliable, and the letter is lost on the way, or he has been robbed, and there are also some." ”
Lao Anren turned his anger into joy and asked about Xu Xiaole again.
