Signaling the little scholar to open the door, Xuan Shijing's small figure appeared in Zhong Zishuo's eyes, although his little marquis is only four years old this year, but the temperament revealed by his body, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a child, vaguely, Zhong Zishuo can see the shadow of Xuan Mingde from Xuan Shijing's body, at a young age, but it is surprisingly steady, mature and habitually ignored, this is a child.

"Uncle Zhong, I remember that the fiefdom is in Dongshan County, how far is it from Chang'an? Now that it's almost noon, is it too late? ”

"Little Hou Ye, Dongshan County is in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City, about more than 60 miles, Xiao Hou Ye does not need to stay in Zhuangzi more, just go to take a look, meet the Zhuang households, in previous years, Mrs. was taking care of Zhuangzi's affairs, this year Mrs. said, she is a woman's family, so it is not a matter of going on, let me take the little Hou Ye to Zhuangzi to show up, let Zhuanghu meet the main family."

Xuan Shijing thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Uncle Zhong, how many households are there in our Zhuangzi?" ”

"When His Majesty divided the seal, there were about 70 households, last year the state capitals were not plagued by locusts, and there were countless people who fled to Chang'an, and some of them settled down in our Zhuangzi, and most of the farmers who were taken in by Mrs. at that time were originally farmers in Fenghuang County, Shanxi, and by this year, there were already more than 200 families in Zhuangzi." Zhong Zishuo replied.

"Fenghuang County, Shanxi? Why did my mother take in only the victims there? ”

"This ...... Little Marquis, this is a long story, when you get into the carriage and go to the fiefdom, I will tell you about this in detail. ”

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Last year's locust plague was quite serious, and I don't know if it has slowed down this year, Uncle Zhong, prepare more things and bring them to Zhuangzi together, it's also my first time going to the fiefdom." ”

"Little Marquis, don't worry, these things have already been arranged."

"Then let's go." Xuan Shijing was also a little impatient, after all, he had been in Datang for three years, and the number of times he had been out of the house could be counted on his fingers.

In order to save time, Xuan Shijing was carried out of the Hou Mansion by Zhong Zishuo, and when he got out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xuan Shijing felt that the air was much fresher.

Carrying Xuan Shijing into the carriage, Zhong Zishuo also turned over and sat on it, and drove to the outside of Chang'an City in person, followed by three cars, full of New Year's goods purchased by the government for the farmers in Zhuangzi.

Xuan Shijing, who got into the carriage, finally had the opportunity to leave the house, how could he sit in the carriage, lift the curtain, sit at the door of the carriage, leaning on Zhong Zishuo, looking at the scenery of Chang'an City.

At the end of the year, ordinary people began to come out to buy New Year's goods, and there were not many people on Xuanwu Street, but when they arrived in the West Market, it was overcrowded, and the frame still picked a place with fewer people to drive, even so, it was still stop-and-go, looking at the happy faces of people on the street, Xuan Shijing couldn't help but sigh, this is the Tang Dynasty, the living Datang scenery.

People of a busy year, save a little money in their hands, come to the upper bunk in the West Market, on the stall, or buy a few catties of pork, or tear a few zhang of fabric for their children to make new clothes, at the end of the year, it is the busiest time for the shops, each shop is in front of the market, there is an endless stream of people, Xuan Shijing is to see a lot of Hu people.

In the entire Chang'an City, the most important thing is Xungui, throwing out a scale and smashing someone casually, maybe it is the son of an official family, Lang Jun, who is freshly dressed and angry, and has a high spirit, as long as he does not do anything wrong in this Chang'an City, anyone who sees it can't help but admire, a young man with good spirit.

Since the Zhenguan years, the Tang Dynasty has experienced countless natural disasters**, the people of this land are still tenacious to create a better life, His Majesty Li Er and his group of civil and military generals, all of them have done their best to maintain this hard-won scene.

This is really an open era, an era of great integration, Xuan Shijing's heart is excited, his little face becomes red, he will witness the development and growth of this era with his own eyes!

The carriage drove out of Chang'an City, along the official road all the way to the east, looking back at the tall gray city walls of Chang'an City, solemn and simple, Xuan Shijing's heart was turbulent.

Breathing in the fresh air of the suburbs, Xuan Shijing felt refreshed, sitting on the wheel, leaning on Zhong Zishuo.

"Uncle Zhong, tell me, why did my mother take in so many homeless people from Phoenix County?"

Zhong Zishuo said while concentrating on driving the carriage: "This has to start with your father, today, Uncle Zhong will tell you the story of your father." ”

"My father?" Speaking of his father, who he has never met, Xuan Shijing has too many puzzles, what kind of person is this father in his life, just from the fact that he was born and became a marquis, he is definitely not a simple character.

"When your father was young, he was also a person who mixed the rivers and lakes, and then for some reason, he defected to Erxianzhuang, followed by Shan Xiongxin Shan and the second brother, who acted chivalrous and righteous, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and had a very good reputation on the green forest road. Two sages', there are two unique, one must be Wang Bodang's arrow, this other must be your father's folding fan, your mother, at that time was attracted by your father's demeanor, Fang Xin secretly promised, married to your father, your parents and two married not long after, the world was in turmoil, because of the previous dynasty Sui Yang Emperor three expeditions to Goryeo, returned in vain, labor and money, did not listen to the dissuasion and insisted on going his own way, the poor army and force, so that the people were bored, hundreds of thousands of good men were buried in Liaodong, what they did, caused a lot of dissatisfaction, all walks of life against the king and rebelled against the tyrant Emperor Yang of Sui, at that time Erxian Zhuang was already the leader of the 72 roads of the green forest road, and the second brother led a group of heroes in the rivers and lakes, pulling up the bannerLater, the people of Wagangzhai found such a person who was proficient in government affairs to be the leader, this person is Li Mi, but this Li Mi and that Yang Guang are all the way, and with power in their hands, they began to covet enjoyment, and the second brother took the lead in leaving Wagangzhai, and at that time there were your Uncle Qin, Uncle Cheng and your father. ”

"Wasn't Uncle Wei Chi in Wagangzhai at that time?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Your Uncle Chi joined the Tang Army later, when the second brother and your father and other four people left Wagangzhai, they happened to meet the then King of Qin, that is, the current Your Majesty, your Uncle Qin is an old acquaintance with Your Majesty, and with the same spirits, he decided to join the Tang Army, but the second brother Shan left alone and defected to Wang Shichong, who was in Luoyang at that time."

"Why is that?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled.

"Second Brother Shan and His Majesty have a grudge against his brother, before the Sui Dynasty, Brother Shan's family was captured by the then Prime Minister Yu Wenhua and captured, Yang Guang ordered Brother Shan's family, together with more than 30 maids and servants to be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, the supervisor was the Tang Guogong at that time, and now the Emperor Taishang, the second brother Shan later rebelled against Sui Part of the reason was also to take revenge, and by the way, even the Emperor Taishang hated. Later, His Majesty led the army to recruit Wang Shichong, because Prince Xi was built to make trouble behind his back, His Majesty was defeated and returned, and was almost killed by the second brother Shan, in fact, it was not only because of the prince, at that time, the generals in the army could defeat the second brother Shan, only your father, you Uncle Cheng and Uncle Qin at most tied with the second brother Shan, taking into account the friendship, the three people at that station did not lead the troops to fight, which gave the prince a chance to take advantage of it, and later, your father and the three saw that His Majesty almost died, so he led the troops to besiege Luoyang City. Seeing that the former brothers were fighting on the battlefield, in order to avoid the care of your father and others, the second brother cut off his robe with your father, Uncle Cheng and Uncle Qin on the spot. Speaking of this, Zhong Zishuo sighed: "I grew up in Erxianzhuang when I was a child, even if Brother Shan's whole family was beheaded, I never saw Second Brother Shan cry, but that day on the battlefield, I saw Second Brother Shan's eyes red and tears. Thinking of those years, Rao is a strong man like Zhong Zishuo also has red eyes.

Hearing this, Xuan Shijing couldn't help but sigh for a while, this is the friendship between brothers, how can it be broken by cutting the robe, the good Chinese characters on the green forest road are the first, not to mention the well-known Shan Xiongxin.
