18. The road is oblique since ancient times

In the Red Peony Pavilion, Xue Yaoying looked at the note Gao Yue gave her, and was puzzled:

"Why, why, even if you don't become a Beijing official, it's not impossible to enter the local embassy - but why do you want to go to Jingyuan, Yisong? It's really, alas, it's really, completely not in accordance with the eight pictures I planned for you, Zhi Hui Zhi Hui ...... "Once the refiner is in a bad mood, he will subconsciously call his maidservant, but at this moment she looked around, only the vast pond on all sides of the water pavilion remained, and then she suddenly remembered that "Zhi Hui has gone to Yi Song." ”

"It's okay, I'm also relieved that Zhihui is there, at least the two thousand Guan that Gao Yue owes me can't escape." Thinking of this, Master Xue couldn't help but feel at ease, although he was a little lonely.

By the East City Liberation Pond, the official opening of the retreat, the audience is blocked, Wu Cailuan stands under the banner of "Shaoling Xiaoxiaosheng" in the ink book, and shouts loudly, "There is a masterpiece comparable to Huaibeilu, a masterpiece comparable to Huaibeilu!" Dear neighbors, all the township party, come and see, you can observe it in the bookstore, the first three days are only ten yuan at a time, if you buy it, there are steamed hu and pancakes to give. I believe that this alchemist, as long as you have a cup of tea, you will like this giant compilation just like me. ”

"I'm afraid it's another fake work of Yunan and Liudong!" There was a sound of indignation from the crowd, and it seemed that many people had been shunned by those copycat works.

"Yunan, Liudong, and Yangxi are okay, last time I saw someone with the name of Yue, and I wasted five hundred dollars in vain."

"There is also a person named Gao Yue, alas, it is really excessive!"

But there are still people who can't resist the temptation and begin to pacing into the bookstore of Retreat.

Under the wall outside the release pond, two carts from different directions stopped opposite each other, Tang An and Wu Xingxing sat in the middle, pointed to the slave beside them and said, "Go, let's see how it is in condition." ”

Just when the East Market was bustling, in the Cui Zhongcheng Mansion in Shengpingfang, Gao Yue and Yun Shao both came here to say goodbye to Cui Kuan and his wife.

"Yi Song, you have to think clearly, you go to your father-in-law's Xichuan Shogunate first, although it may make your brother have nepotism, but after the second or third exam, you can return to the capital, and then come to Xiantai directly as the imperial history, wouldn't it be good?" Cui Kuan, who was sitting on the seat, also didn't understand that Gao Yue was going to Jingyuan.

And although his wife Lu didn't say it, she despised Gao Yue in her heart, and she was really poor.

"I feel the sincerity of the king's conquest, and the kid's plan has been decided." Gao Yue's tone was resolute.

Cui Kuan could only nod and said that Yi Song is good at doing his own thing over there, and when I come back, I should replace my brother and govern the house for you and Yun Shao, and I can't stay in Huaizhenfang all the time.

Yunhe behind the curtain in the cloister, silently looking at the brother-in-law and sister sitting together, through the soft light of the curtain, she couldn't help but see that the sister was fairer and more beautiful, she was no longer a sister who fought with herself, but belonged to the Gao family, but sure enough, as long as she was with the third year of high school, could she be radiant even in the grass hall?

"Take care, sister, and senior year of high school."

The next day, at the turn of spring and summer, at the Duting post in the west of the city, Gao Yue rode the docile Shu horse presented by Jingyuan Fangzhen, carrying the talisman of the post house and his own bag full of books, and walked slowly towards the west of the Kaiyuan Gate, and slowly the outline of the imperial city disappeared in his eyes looking back.

At this moment, Liu Yan slowly put down his official seal in Shangshu Province, remembered Gao Yue who left Beijing for Jingyuan, touched his beard, and said in a low voice, "Gao Langjun, are your ambitions and ideals in your bag?" ”

Yun Shao sat in a car pulled by four oxen, just behind Gao Yue, Zhi Hui and Ah Cuo accompanied the ox cart around, and the Kunlun Nuwei did not return to Xichuan, also as Gao Yue's slave, carrying the luggage in front of the guide, the group walked and stopped, about seven miles later, in the west of Chang'an City, the first post in the Lingao Station made a short stop.

Lingao Station, the first post station to the west of Chang'an City, the status and the first big Baqiao Post to the east: in front of the horse of Gaoyue, the mighty Weishui and the Weiqiao in the middle of the Wei Bridge, the West Wei Bridge appeared, this post station connects four directions, one is to enter the Fengxiang Mansion through martial arts, the second is to arrive in Fengtian City from Xingping, the third is to go to Jingyang and then pass Shuofang, Jingyuan, the fourth is from the southwest corner of Zhou to enter the south of the Jiannan, when Yang Guifei was hanged to kill the Ma Weiyi is also here.

It can be described as "all the way to the front of the ancient post".

"Let's cross the Zhongwei Bridge and go to the old city of Xianyang." After Gao Yue immediately inquired about the post guards of the Lingao Station, he raised his whip and said to the bridgehead.

Yun Shao stayed in the swaying ox cart, looking at the lively tea shops, grass markets, and brick towers around the post station, and was in a good mood. But when she turned her head, she quickly let out a frightened cry, "What is the matter with the mistress?" Zhihui hurriedly leaned over and asked.

Then she followed Yun Shao's eyes - to the north, at the junction of the remnants of the Xilong Shouyuan and the old city of Xianyang, there were many graves, stretching for three miles, densely built on them, and countless crows flew on them, with an indescribable sense of desolation and slaughter.

Gao Yue also saw this scene, only to remember that this should be the famous "palace people's oblique", which is the burial place of the Tang palace maids of the past dynasties, worried that Yun Shao was sad and afraid, so he urged to walk through this place quickly, Wei Daotian responded and said yes, and then took a step, and soon left the horses and ox carts behind......

After passing the old city of Xianyang and the palace people, after walking for another sixty or seventy miles, I arrived at the Winter Post in Jingyang County non-stop, and then rested. In the Tang Dynasty system, the distance between post stations was about 20 li, and except for emergencies, the distance of three post stations a day was usually 60 li.

In the next few days, the trip gradually became boring and tired, passing the Ganquan Palace, and then walked to Xinping County, the seat of Pizhou Governance, there is a cemetery of Fu Jian in Guoxia outside the county, and only when I entered the Wulongyuan Museum did I know that Li Huaiguang, the Marquis of Yu, the Shuofang army here, and took the judge Gao Ying, has not been in Xinping City, but in Changwu City, fifty miles away in the west, to build a garrison, in order to prepare for Xifan.

It was getting late, and it was impossible for Gao Yue to take his wife to Changwu City to pay respects and thank Gao Ying, so he stayed in the Wulongyuan Pavilion.

The hall post is the post house, the one on the main road is the post, and the one on the small road is the hall.

The scale of this Wulongyuan Pavilion is far worse than that of Baqiao Station and Lingao Station, and after Gao Yue settled his wife Yun Shao in the room, he asked Zhi Hui to go out to buy food to eat.

After a while, Zhi Hui came back with a food box and whispered to Gao Yue and Yun Shao, "In the room next to it, there is a lady who is sad and crying inside!" ”

Yun Shao was a warm-hearted person, and immediately said: "Songqing, isn't this lady being bullied?" We'll have to see. ”

Gao Yue said to his wife, I and Wei Daotian will go out first, and you, Zhihui and Ah Cuo should not move around here for the time being.

As a result, when he walked to the room to the west of the hall, there was indeed a woman's mournful crying, and he couldn't see the inside story clearly through the door curtain, just when Gao Yue was about to let Zhi Hui come out again to ask carefully, there was a quarrel in the stable behind the hall, and the woman cried even more miserably.
