After the nude painting turmoil ended, Zhou Xuan went to feed the "junior Zhang Bao", this is a cash cow, a great hero, but it is difficult to win three thousand taels of silver, it is impossible for a fool like Wu Fatzi to have it often, and it is also thanks to his righteous brother Lin Heishan, otherwise Wu Fatzi will definitely have to pay his debts, and the ancient society is not so easy to mix, and it is not possible to have a strong helper.

Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong squatted beside Zhou Xuan, listening to Zhou Xuan tell them about the habits of crickets, how to catch and feed them, and nodded while listening.

At breakfast, Mrs. Qin said to Zhou Xuan: "Virtuous son-in-law, your sister is from Mufu Village, thirty miles outside the east gate, poor parents died early, and her brother also died, she wants to go back to the village to see, go to the grave of her parents and brother to pay respects, your father-in-law has official business, so you have to ask the virtuous son-in-law to accompany her." ”

Zhou Xuan naturally agreed, thinking that his brother Lin Heishan said that he was going to come to him for a drink today, so he asked his mother-in-law to tell his subordinates to pay attention, and if his brother-in-law came to him, he would accuse him on his behalf, and said that he would go to his brother-in-law as soon as he came back.

Since there are more than 60 miles to go back and forth, it is necessary to hurry up, Zhou Xuan asked Laifu to rent a carriage, these years, it is really inconvenient to have no car, and now that the economic conditions allow, you have to consider buying a car yourself.

Laifu is quite able to do things, a quarter of an hour called a single-wheeled carriage, and according to Zhou Xuan's instructions to rent a horse, Zhou Xuan wants to learn to ride a horse, this kind of horse for rent is very good, but if you want it to run fast, it is not ideal, it is the most suitable for learning to ride.

Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong are both from Shaoyang Village near Mufu Village, Tang Xiaosan hasn't been home for several days, Zhou Xuan asked Tang Xiaosan to accompany him to Mufu Village to go home by the way, Hu Tong stayed here to take care of the "young general Zhang Bao".

Tang Xiaosan asked Hu Tong if he wanted to give him the twenty silver given by Zhou Gongzi yesterday and bring it back? Hu Tong refused, saying that he would hand it over to his father with his own hands.

Zhou Xuan laughed, he understood Hu Tong's feelings, it was a sense of accomplishment and pride, which was equivalent to returning home, of course, he had to go back with the silver.

Zhou Xuan rode the old horse, Tang Xiaosan helped him hold the reins, Su Suzhen sat in the carriage, Laifu sat next to the coachman, and the group went out of the east gate of Jiangzhou City.

Zhou Xuan's mind is flexible, his body is agile, and the horse under his crotch is relatively honest, and he has initially mastered the skills of horseback riding after riding, so that Tang Xiaosan can also sit on the wheel and speed up his progress.

In the early autumn weather, the second season of grass seedlings has just been planted, the fields are green, the sun is not too strong in the morning, and the breeze is coming, which makes people think that it is spring.

When Zhou Xuan went out of the east gate, he saw that there were fresh dates and pears sold by the city gate, so he bought five or six catties of both, washed them in the moat, and let everyone eat them.

Twenty miles out of the city, into the Makufu Mountain area, the road is not so easy to walk, rugged, the carriage is bumpy, and the carriage "clangs".

Su Xuan lifted the curtain and said to Zhou Xuan: "Brother-in-law Zhou, this car makes me dizzy, I want to get down and walk." ”

Before sewing needles, Zhou Xuan was called "Zhou Gongzi", which would call his brother-in-law, maybe because there were outsiders.

Zhou Xuan jumped off the horse, asked the coachman to stop, and stretched out his right arm to let the sewing needle help him get out of the car, which was a very natural action, stemming from his modern consciousness, and he didn't think about whether men and women would kiss or not.

After a little hesitation, he gently helped Zhou Xuan on his arm and jumped out of the car, the women of the Southern Tang Dynasty have not yet been popular for wrapping their little feet, so they will not be so weak.

Zhou Xuan said: "Sister Needle, you come to ride a horse, this horse is very stable and will not shake badly." ”

The needle said, "You ride, you ride, I'll walk." ”

Tang Xiaosan and Laifu came down together to accompany Zhou Xuan and the sewing needle on foot, and the coachman drove slowly in the empty car.

After walking for more than two miles, although the sewing needle is not a small foot, it has been a little squeamish in the palace in the past three years, and this mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is impossible to keep up with Zhou Xuan's steps.

A gust of mountain wind blew, the trees on both sides of the road "swished", and there were yellow-gray clouds gathering in the sky, as if the sky was about to change.

Zhou Xuan said: "Sister sewing needle, get on the horse, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to ride, I'll pull the reins, so that I can go faster, you see that it may rain this day." ”

Zhou Xuan led the horse to the edge of a big stone, let the sewing needle stand on the stone first, and then held her hand and let her step on the horse and get on the horse with her legs apart.

The moment the corners of the skirt floated up and down, Zhou Xuan saw a section of the thigh exposed at the top of the sewing needle "shin clothes", white and round-

Zhou Xuan was stunned, he specially put on that suit pants for riding a horse today, there is no kind of pants for sewing needles, this and this, is it a bare ass horse!

"Brother-in-law, let's go." The sewing needle grabbed the saddle tightly with both hands, and for the first time he rode a horse, he was a little scared and a little excited.

Zhou Xuan shook his head, wanting to get rid of this fragrant thought, and walked forward with the reins, looking back at Su Xun needle sitting on the back of the horse from time to time, and the idea of riding a horse with a bare butt lingered.

After walking for another three or four miles, Tang Xiaosan pointed to a fork in the road on the left and said, "Gongzi Zhou, entering from here is our Shaoyang Village, Gongzi and Miss Su will go to Xiaosan's house to rest for a while, right?" ”

Zhou Xuan asked: "Is Sister Needle tired?" Want to take a break? ”

The needle shook his head and said, "I'm in a hurry to go to the grave of my parents." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Little San, you go back first, wait for us here at half past eleven o'clock - that is, at two o'clock in the afternoon, and go back to the city together." ”

Tang Xiaosan agreed, and rushed to the fork in the road, the carriage could no longer enter, so he stopped here and waited, and Zhou Xuan, Suzhen and Laifu continued to hurry.

Mufu Village is a small mountain village, there are twenty or thirty families scattered high and low in the mountain col, and there are few outsiders in the mountain village.

The sewing needle lifted the tulsara that covered his face, and called this uncle and that uncle one by one, bursting into tears.

The people in the village took a look, it turned out to be the sewing needle back, the sewing needle is the most beautiful woman in their village, three years ago was elected to the palace, the people in the village are proud to say that the sewing needle this time is out, to be the imperial concubine, but unfortunately there is no news for three years, the father and brother have died, the sister-in-law remarried to another country, and the three thatched houses in the family were also sold to neighbors.

A village woman was more reckless, pointing to Zhou Xuan, who was leading the horse, and asked: "Sewing needle, is this your husband, but he is a good talent." ”

Zhou Xuan was about to explain, the sewing needle leaned over from the horse's back and patted him lightly on the shoulder, Chu Chu's pitiful eyes revealed begging, Zhou Xuan shut up, smiled at everyone, expressed acquiescence, and thought: "What do you mean, you want me to play as a son-in-law again?" Well, too, I have been a palace maid for three years, and I came back with nothing, too desolate and faceless, so I asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend, indicating that she has a home, so as not to flood the sympathy of these fathers and villagers, and the pity is endless. ”

The needle asked, "Uncles and aunts, are my father and brother buried together with my mother?" "The mother of the sewing needle died before the sewing needle entered the palace.

The villagers nodded their heads and said that it was in the back mountain.

Zhou Xuan tied the horse to the miscellaneous tree at the foot of the mountain, accompanied the sewing needle up the mountain, Laifu followed behind with incense, candles, paper money, and saw that the uncle encountered a difficult road and helped Miss Sewing Needle from time to time.

The three tombs were built next to each other, and they were all built hastily, Su Xuan fell to the ground crying, Zhou Xuan thought of his parents and brother thousands of years later, and he was also sad, and solemnly bowed a few times at the moment.

After the worship, Zhou Xuan said: "Sister Needle, don't be sad, go back, I will accompany you here next year during the Qingming Festival, find a few craftsmen to rebuild the tomb and set up a better tombstone." ”

Su Xuan raised his head suddenly, and looked at Zhou Xuan fixedly with a pair of crying and swollen Danfeng eyes.

Zhou Xuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said just now, washed his hands in a nearby mountain spring, slowly descended the mountain with a sewing needle, and helped her get on the horse and embark on the return journey.
