and Chen Yizhi Qu Tuquan drank a jar of good wine, the time was still early, and the little girl Ying'er was arguing that she wanted to have enough fun tonight, so Luo Yan could only go back early to rest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the young man is full of energy, Luo Yan is about to leave for Luzhou after this festival, and he still has to save some energy to cope with this long journey.

Although tonight from the royal family and nobles to the peddlers and pawns can be seen on Suzaku Street, Luo Yan is not interested at all. It's enough to be lively once, but if you do it too many times, you will get bored. is a little girl like Ying'er who doesn't go out much, because she can play until dawn the next day, she will be so excited.

That night, the little girl Ying'er still looked forward to Luo Yan being able to show her might, participate in a few more poetry meetings, and win more things. Although Luo Yan does need to continue to brush up his reputation now, this does not mean that Luo Yan likes to do it in the same way as rushing the task. So she refused Ying'er's request several times, and directly made the little girl sulk until dawn.

The next day, Luo Yan was ready to leave Chang'an.

Luo Yan didn't bring many things on this trip, and the carriage hired from the car dealer was waiting outside the gate of the Lu Mansion early in the morning. After having dinner with Mr. Lu, Luo Yan left the Lu Mansion under the eyes of Lu Deming and Ying'er. Originally, Ying'er wanted to send Luo Yan out of the city, but Luo Yan sternly refused. Just kidding, people who can get lost when they go to East Market, and they still want to get out of the city.

The only friends in Chang'an City are Chen Yizhi and Qu Tuquan, and the Cui brothers are still nesting in their hometown, but they also wrote to apologize.

At this moment, there was also a remnant snow on the Baqiao, and the willow branches were still withered, so Qu Tuquan and Chen Yizhi drank farewell wine with Luo Yan at the city gate, even if the farewell was over.

The shortest land route from Chang'an to Luzhou is more than 900 miles, passing through Shangluo, transiting from Nanyang, passing through Xinyang, then to Lu'an, and then to Luzhou.

This is the first month, and the ice and snow in the north have not yet melted, so the possibility of Luo Yan taking the waterway is basically cut off. Therefore, Luo Yan can only sit in the car every day to study, and only when it is time to eat and stay in the hotel, will he move around.

Although the carriage can theoretically reach a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, considering the long distance and the fact that there is no way to change horses in the middle of the journey, the journey is not very fast. What's more, the road conditions are not very good, and I stopped and stopped all the way, and it took half a month to reach Luzhou.

Even at this speed, the driver repeatedly said that this time the walk was quite good, and there was nothing wrong on the road, otherwise there would have been a month.

After arriving in Luzhou, he happily paid for the car, because although the speed was not fast, it was faster than Luo Yan's expectations, so Luo Yan also gave the driver an extra 100 Wen reward. Such generosity made the coachman thank Luo Yan again and again.

arrived in Luzhou and arrived at his nominal hometown, but Luo Yan did not feel any joy.

He came here purely out of his promise, and if he had to debunk it, it was the task of the system. Luo Yan's predecessor was the righteous brother, and Luo Yan himself was also very curious. In this troubled world, I was so nervous that I could still help Luo Yan go to school, which is absolutely amazing.

However, it was not too early, and Luo Yan couldn't just go to his brother-in-law's house without the slightest preparation. Before Luo Yan's trip, he wanted to bring a letter to this righteous brother, but his circle of friends was so big, and there were no merchants from Luzhou in the first month, so this plan to carry a letter was in vain.

Therefore, at this moment, Luo Yan was completely attacking suddenly.

Fortunately, there is an inn near where Luo Yan is standing, so he can only nest here for one night.

After sorting out the remaining memories at night, Luo Yan already had a clear memory of the address of his brother-in-law. Of course, the family situation is also understood.

Luo Yan's brother-in-law is called Feng Chang, a native of Luzhou, ten years older than Luo Yan. Today, only his wife and two sons are left in the family. Feng Chang's family has some land outside Luzhou City, which can basically meet the living needs of the family, and he is also diligent, so he does some small business in Luzhou City when he is not working, so he has a few extra money.

Feng Chang's parents died when he was a teenager, and after just a few days of study, he was forced to take on the burden of supporting his family. So when I saw Luo Yan, who also had both parents dead, it could be regarded as sympathy. It just so happened that Luo Yan had been performing well, and Feng Chang had been helping Luo Yan in his life for a few years after Luo Yan entered the school.

In fact, for helping Luo Yan, Feng Chang is also under more and more pressure. The person next to his pillow has always been against this matter, and often quarrels about this. Moreover, his pair of sons are also older, and they have also reached the age of Mengxue. Coupled with Luo Yan's share, the family's life is also quite poor.

Fortunately, Luo Yan participated in Jinshike for the first time and actually got in. At this moment, Feng Chang also breathed a sigh of relief, and his own girls finally didn't have to nag in their ears every day. The scholar who went to the exam with Luo Yan also brought a letter from Luo Yan, saying that Luo Yan had conferred the rank of official from the ninth grade, and the county order in Luzhou City was at the same level. And in the second year, Luo Yan will come back to see himself.

How big an official Luo Yan is, Feng Chang doesn't care. What really made him happy was that Luo Yan didn't forget about his righteous brother just because he became an official. He also brought silver, which was already worth the money he had given to Luo Yan sporadically over the years. Feng Chang still remembered that he put the ingots of silver given by Luo Yan on the table that night, and his wife was stunned and couldn't say anything. That's called a refreshing one.

After that, although Feng often walked on the street, he could feel the envious eyes of the people around him. Although there is no substantial benefit, spiritual enjoyment is king. Moreover, in the past, the officials of the government shouted five or six times, but now they can still say a few words politely when they see themselves.

Although he didn't know when his brother would be able to return to Luzhou, Feng Chang had already made preparations when he was celebrating the New Year. With the family having money to spare, Feng Chang not only bought a new set of clothes for his wife and children, but also bought several catties of meat very happily. Half of them cook a little food when the guests come on these days of the New Year, and the remaining half is reserved for their brothers.

When he got up the next morning, Luo Yan walked to his brother-in-law's house with a large bag of things.

This is not a return to the hometown, and Luo Yan's reputation is only limited to some literati circles, so after walking all the way, in fact, there is no one who knows Luo Yan. It wasn't until he arrived near Feng Chang's house that because Luo Yan often came here, people knew that this was the scholar Feng Chang had helped stupidly.

Because Feng Chang also helped Luo Yan with such a person, as soon as they saw Luo Yan's figure, people knew that the Jinshi who was admitted last year was coming. At that moment, some people began to surround Luo Yan and ask this and that. Although it is said that there are many people, in fact, the question asked is how Chang'an is, have you seen the emperor, what does the emperor look like, whether he is tall or thin. Gossip like this is what these people are interested in.

Although because of the etiquette system, Luo Yan couldn't say how Li Yuan was in private, but how about Chang'an, Luo Yan still patiently told the people around him while walking.

As he walked forward, the size of the crowd grew larger and larger, and when he walked to the door of Feng Chang's house, without Luo Yan knocking on the door, the shouts in the crowd had already made Feng Chang, who had been nervous in his head these days, run to open the door.

After all, it is a mansion, and this courtyard is naturally not as spacious as in the countryside, so the crowd of onlookers did not follow Luo Yan into the door, but just guarded at the door, and it was not too crowded.

Feng Chang's own brother came back so early, of course he was very happy in his heart, looking at those who were still guarding the door to watch the excitement, Feng Chang made the second most generous decision in his life: "Don't crowd everyone, let's disperse, my brother is here, let us talk." Another day, I will often set up a table and invite the big guy to have a good meal. Let's disperse today, it's about to disperse. "If you want to say what this first and most generous decision is, it is naturally to fund Luo Yan.

The crowd of onlookers heard that Feng Chang actually set up a seat, which made them happy. These days, the big guys have been living a tight life, and it's very good to eat for nothing, and it's still a feast. Although Feng Chang is not a rich man, everyone has heard about it these days, and Feng Chang's family has meat in this New Year. Then the next table he will definitely not fool the big guy, no.

It is definitely a good thing that you can eat meat for nothing in the New Year's month. So these people are very face-saving and left.

Pulled Luo Yan into the house, settled down and sat down, Feng Chang stared at Luo Yan's face for a moment.

When he saw that Luo Yan was embarrassed, Feng Chang opened his mouth and said: "Yes, after becoming an official, it will be different, you kid is also strong and tall, good." ”

Different from the gossip on the faces of the group of people outside, Feng Chang really took Luo Yan, a person who had no blood affection, as a brother. didn't mention how to be an official, first sighed at Luo Yan's body.

This kind of emotion made Luo Yan sad for a while. Although he doesn't have much family affection for this righteous brother, as an ordinary person, he treats others so sincerely, not to mention that he has received the favor of others. Now that people are like this, how can they not be moved.

Luo Yan stood up and made a sincere gesture to his righteous brother. Luo Yan has done this kind of etiquette in Chang'an, that is, in front of several elders, of course, he needs to put aside those officialdom coping. He couldn't help but be responsible for the debts of his predecessor to this family, looking at the very simple small courtyard, Luo Yan knew that the money he brought back at the beginning must not be of much use. Otherwise, it is impossible for the house not to be renovated.

"I can't help it, now that you are also an official, how can you give a salute to me, a white body. That's not going to work. Feng Chang hurriedly pulled Luo Yan up and said in a panic.

"How can my brother stand it, without my brother, Luo Yan didn't say that he went to Chang'an for the exam, and he was lucky that he didn't starve to death on the streets." Luo Yan recalled the memories of his predecessor, and felt Feng Chang's kindness more and more.
