Chapter 32: Erxian Village
"It's easy." Princess Jinyang said with a smile: "Usually the son feels very scared when he sees the cockroach, but the more scared he is, the harder the son stares at it, and it is good to get used to it, so this lion is fierce, and the son looks at it hard, and it is good to get used to it." ”
After listening to Princess Jinyang's words, the people around were a little crying and laughing, can this fierce horse be the same as a cockroach?
"The more scared I am, the harder I stare at it, so brave, worthy of being my little son." His Majesty Li Er laughed proudly: "Okay, I will reward my son with this lion horse." ”
In the end, Princess Jinyang became the biggest winner in the school field, not only harvesting several Dawan foals, but also the highest quality lion skulls in her pocket, Li Tai was already thinking about whether he should build a stable around the warm pavilion.
Because of the rush to Erxianzhuang, so along the way Xuan Shijing did not stay for too long, went straight to this Shanxi, the more to Guanzhong, the more prosperous, this hot land in Guanzhong, has nourished countless generations of Chinese children, countless simple people in this land sunrise and sunset, generation after generation.
Erxianzhuang is located in Luzhou Mansion, and it is not far from Chang'an, Xuan Shijing plans to write a letter to his mother, telling her that he will stay in Erxianzhuang for a while.
Entering the boundary of Luzhou Mansion, Gao Jun drove the carriage to Erxianzhuang with a familiar car, and after passing through Luzhou City, the carriage began to drive towards the wilderness.
"Why is it getting farther and farther away from Luzhou?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"Little Marquis, Erxianzhuang said that it is in Luzhou Mansion, but it is not near Luzhou City, it is more than ten miles away from Luzhou, and the entire Erxianzhuang is built on the mountain." Gao Jun replied.
Xuan Shijing nodded when he heard this, too, if it was near Luzhou City, how could Erxianzhuang survive intact during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, as a place where people from the rivers and lakes and green forests gathered, it was naturally on the mountain.
Walking until it was dark, I arrived at the foot of the mountain where Erxianzhuang was located, and walked up the winding mountain road for nearly half an hour, and then I saw the gate of Erxianzhuang, and there were four people guarding the gate.
Because it was dark, and it was too close, Xuan Shijing couldn't see the whole picture of the entire Erxian Village, but vaguely saw an outline, looking inside from the mountain gate, the high-walled compound, tight and tight, probably because of the war, so this mountain villa was built like this, and after a rough look at the surrounding terrain, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
When the carriage arrived at the door, the two guards came up and said, "I don't know which hero is coming." ”
Listening to the words of this guard, you can hear a strong atmosphere of green forest, and also, to put it bluntly, the people who come and go to these two virtuous villages are not good people in the eyes of the government.
Gao Jun sat in front of the carriage and said to the man, "Inform Uncle Qian that the owner of the village is back." ”
The two guards glanced at each other? The owner? Since coming to this Erxian Village, I have never seen the legendary owner of the village, hasn't it always been the head of Qian who is in charge of the affairs of the village? Why did a farmer suddenly pop up?
The other two guards saw that the two people in front of them were grinding and chirping in front of the carriage and did not move, and they also came over curiously, and when they saw Gao Jun in the carriage, their faces showed excitement.
"Brother Gao Jun?"
"Shi Hu! Attaboy. Gao Jun jumped out of the carriage, hugged Shi Hu, and then asked separately, "Shi Hu, why did you come to see the gate?" "Gao Jun and Shi Hu are also brothers of the same generation, and they practice martial arts with a master, and according to Shi Hu's martial arts, it is definitely more than enough to be a guard in the caravan under Uncle Qian.
"It's not half a month after September 15, and there are still friends on the road who stay in Zhuangzi, so Mr. Qian asked the people below to be stricter, and there are often people wandering around on this mountain, which seems to be coming for our Zhuangzi, so the guards don't dare to relax." Shi Hu explained.
I'm afraid these people are the people who came over from Chang'an to probe the truth of Erxian Zhuang Gao Jun thought in his heart, then patted Shi Hu on the shoulder, and said: "Since your kid is here, it's easy to do, hurry up and send someone to arrange the room, the little marquis and Long'er are in the carriage." ”
"Little Marquis? Long'er? Shi Hu was stunned, and after reacting, he glared at Gao Jun: "Hurry up and go in, I'll go and inform Uncle Qian immediately." After speaking, Shi Hu explained to the three people next to him, and ran into the Zhuangzi.
Gao Jun jumped into the carriage and drove the carriage into the gate of Erxian Village, leaving behind three unknown guards.
"Little Marquis?" The three of them looked at each other.
After entering Zhuangzi, Gao Jun took Xuan Shijing to the main courtyard with a light car, and stopped the carriage in front of the courtyard gate, this is the courtyard where Xuan Mingde once lived, and now the yard has been renovated, and it can be seen that there is a rectification and renovation every year, which is completely different from Gao Jun's memory ten years ago, I am afraid that Uncle Qian changed the yard to this way in order not to let people touch the scene.
Xuan Shijing, Long'er and Gao Jun walked into the yard, the yard is very large, very wide, there are a few maple trees planted in the yard, the maple leaves at this time are fiery red, falling on the ground, soon there will be a maid to palm the lamp over, and then the lantern in the yard is lit, in an instant, the whole yard has become a lot warmer, after the yard is bright, a few maids pushed open the door again, and began to arrange the room.
Just as Xuan Shijing was standing in the courtyard and observing the courtyard, another person walked in outside the courtyard gate, looking at this person wearing a black hat, wearing a purple round-necked satin robe, and a long gown on the outside, his figure was slightly fat, and he walked towards Xuan Shijing and Gao Jun with a smile.
Seeing this person, Xuan Shijing probably knew his identity, I am afraid that this is the big housekeeper of Erxianzhuang, the father of Qian Dui, Gao Jun and Long'er, Uncle Qian in the mouths of Gao Jun and Long'er.
Qian Dui's father's name is Qian Duo, Gao Jun said that he didn't call this name anymore, and later when the world was in turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Qian Duo saw that the people were poor and miserable, and the official gentry were all brocade clothes and jade food, and they were not benevolent to the rich, so they were determined to make a lot of money and not let their brothers and families suffer, and since then they have been in Erxian Village, first helping the two brothers Shan Xiongzhong and Shan Xiongxin to take care of the business on the Zhuangzi, and then it was Xuan Mingde, and when he came to Xuan Shijing, Qian Duo can be regarded as an old man who has gone through three generations.
"Uncle Qian!" When Long'er saw Qian Duo, she was also very cordial, and her joy was overflowing, and Gao Jun, who was a man, was very happy to meet again after a long absence, but her emotions were restrained compared to Long'er, so she just smiled and said hello to Qian Duo: "Uncle Qian." ”
"Good boy, they've all grown up." Qian Duo sighed, he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, and the two of them were no longer children around him.
Seeing Xuan Shijing standing in the courtyard, Qian Duo hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Subordinate Qian Duo, please meet the owner." ”
Seeing this, Xuan Shijing hurriedly stepped forward and helped Qian Duo up: "Uncle Qian doesn't have to make this big gift, after my mother and son went to Chang'an, this huge Zhuangzi is all Uncle Qian and you are working alone, and Shijing can't afford such a big gift from Uncle Qian." Xuan Shijing hurriedly returned the salute.
Xuan Shijing admires Qian Duo very much, and his loyalty to the Hou Mansion for more than ten years has cultivated many talents single-handedly, and it is not easy to manage the livelihood of hundreds of people up and down Erxian Village.
