Chapter 215: Back to Jiaohe
As if there was something urgent, after distributing the maids, he saw that it was not yet noon, and prepared to hurry home. He said to Lu Shanglou, "The follow-up matters here will be handed over to you and Feng Zheng, if there is anything to make up your own mind, I will come back every once in a while." Just remember that big things depend on people. ”
With that, he took Lirong with him, and Lot went with ten of his men. Lu Shanglou and Feng Zheng led people to send them away, and when they were leaving, Master Gao said, "Build more neat residences, don't let those people really drill grass." These men got up on their horses and set out on their way home.
Master Gao brought the horses of Jiaohe Mu to do river practice, but built a poplar pasture to go back, this trip was really rewarding, humming a little song along the way, I don't know that Lirong is sad behind him.
Master Gao really hasn't given her any hints these days to show that he meant that, and the clearest thing is to mention her sister Lilan. But what does this have to do with itself?
She quietly reached into her arms and touched the half-written marriage book. It hurts like a hedgehog, but it is reluctant to throw it away, from the first few times, Lirong in the Poplar River is no longer as naughty to the tall man as she was at the beginning, she has become like a big girl, has become silent, and does not take the initiative to tease the tall man.
And Mr. Gao is in charge of every day these days, I wish she didn't come to make trouble, maybe he thinks that she is normal like this. Now that people are riding horses and running on their way back to Xizhou, it seems to Lirong that her hopes are becoming more and more slim as her destination gets closer and closer.
The two remaining maids picked by the shepherds also went with these people, and they failed to find the person they liked, so they were still tall maids, and they also had to go to Xizhou. In the future, they will also obey the arrangement of the tall man.
Leaving the days of sending people under the crossbow branch city, the future in front of them will never be worse than those female companions who have found their sweethearts. So along the way, there was only a beautiful face, and I couldn't wait to find a place where no one was there to wipe my tears.
After the Gutun City and the valley, not far away is the place where the tall people fought at night with the lost tribe of the Yue. The scenes from more than ten days ago once again appeared in front of Lirong's eyes, as if they were yesterday. But all this is in the past, and what remains unchanged is her relationship with the tall man.
Lirong looked into the woods, the big tree that she had spent the night on was standing there quietly, as if the past ten days had made its branches and leaves more dense, not at all like someone had gone up, and her tears finally rolled down.
The scene of the tall man taking her by jumping up the tree was so clear that even she could recall the oppression her body felt under the tall armpits, and the feeling of being out of her body when she soared to the extreme. But that moment was simply too short.
Master Gao immediately turned to look at her and said, "Girl, why are you unhappy to see your sister soon?" Thinking of something again, he said to Luo Dedao, "Lord Luo, you can take someone to Jinshaling first, Lirong and I still have some things to do." Lot Dao was inconvenient to ask, so he led people through the fork in Futu City and went straight to Jinshaling.
Master Gao asked, "Drop by today, pick up your parents, or I won't be able to help you in the future." "Lirong's home is in Tiandi City, which is an earthen city inhabited by Han people. After the sisters Lilan and Lirong went out, their parents were left alone at home. Lord Gao's words were exactly what she wanted, so she agreed to lead the way in front, and the two maids followed closely, and went straight to Tiandi City with Master Gao.
Tiandi City, just more than 20 miles behind the side of Futu City, these people rushed through the edge of Futu City by horses. At first, Lirong was a little worried that the four of them would have any trouble in Futu City. But seeing that the tall man was just in a hurry, he didn't seem to be worried at all.
The Tang Dynasty did not use force to subdue Futu City, so the Tiandi City hidden behind Futu City was not reckless, and it has been isolated to this day. There are all Han people in this city, and there are no soldiers and horses in the city, only Ashina Bobu assigned the city lord and steward from the field city a few years ago.
But these people have been according to the Han system, the city lord is not called the city lord, they all call themselves the county order, the county officer, the county lieutenant, the record and the three classes of officials are all assigned by the county order, there is no miscellaneous tax, the government service until the county lord is to grain as a salary, apportioned by the residents of the city.
There were only two old men guarding the gate by the city gate, and they didn't stop Lirong from bringing people into the city when they saw it. They walked through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived at Lirong's house.
This is a small courtyard, located behind a deep alley, when the tall man led people in, there was a young man chopping wood in the yard, and an old man next to him was doing it.
I saw that this young man was in his twenties, not tall, but he was born strong. He wore a short brown strip of yellow and white coarse cloth, a short coat worn by the poor, often made of animal hair and coarse linen. But the young man's exposed shoulders and arms looked very powerful, and the tall man thought it was Lirong's brother.
As soon as Lirong entered the courtyard, she called the old man Dad. The old man hurriedly raised his head, and did not show too much joy when he saw his little daughter coming back, but the man and two women who came in behind his daughter made him feel a little wary. He didn't greet anyone, but said to Lirong, "You still know that when you come back, if Su Kuo'er hadn't come to see her every day, your mother and I would have starved to death." ”
Master Gao then knew that this Su Kuo'er was not from the family.
Lirong explained what she meant to come back, and said to her father with a smile, "It's not me and Master Gao to pick you up, let's go to Xizhou together, and we can take care of you with my sister." ”
I heard that the young man in front of him was an official of the Tang Dynasty, and the old man called out his wife from the house to meet Master Gao, and pointed to the young man, and said to Lord Gao, "This is a neighborhood not far away, there is no father or mother at home, and he often comes to take care of him, but we are all gone, and only he ......is left."
Master Gao had already seen that this Su Kuo'er was a little interesting to Lirong, because he looked at her several times after a short while. So he said, "Since there is no father and no mother, it is better to go together, and there is something to do in my ranch, and besides, I have two maids here who have nowhere to send ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that Su Kuo'er had some unkind eyes, so he didn't say anything.
The young man didn't think so, but Lirong was very happy when he heard it, a smart person like Lord Gao brought out the maid in his hand as soon as he came up, could this be his true feelings for himself?
Lirong left home to find her sister, her original intention was to avoid this Su Kuo'er, he came to help do this and that every day, and the meaning was also very obvious. But she only treats him as an elder brother, if she can let Master Gao give him a job on the ranch, it can be regarded as her family worthy of him.
There is nothing valuable at home, and even two sets of bedding and beauty are not called belts, and they are just two singles. And Su Kuo'er barely waited to speak, so she ran out and hired three donkeys, thinking that there was also one he wanted to ride.
When she came out, Lirong didn't lock the door, and said to her father, "In case someone who has no place to live arrives, you can live directly." So a group of seven people went out of the field city and went on the road.
Along the way, Lirong always left her father behind, and came up to be parallel to Master Gao, but after a while, Su Kuo'er would ride a donkey to the middle. When Master Gao talked to him, Su Kuo'er only squeaked slightly, and it seemed that her mind was not on this.
At the place where the shepherd and the horse fell off the cliff on Jinshaling, the tall man saw that the road had been widened a lot at some point. In the Jieji Inn, the shopkeeper told him that he was sent by Futu City to build the road, and said that it would be difficult to rent a car in the future.
Thinking about these things, Master Gao knew that Ashina's gesture was a gesture of goodwill, so he said to the shopkeeper, "It just so happens that I want to rent your car." ”
Late that night, Master Gao arrived in Jiaohe County with these talents. Lilan was called up in the middle of the night and saw her sister and Gao Da take back her parents, she was very happy, and was busy arranging accommodation for Gao Da and the maids.
And why her sister has been gone for more than ten days, and why Master Gao didn't bring those people back, she is also trying to ask. (To be continued.) )
