Chapter Twenty-Nine: Looking North at Kyoto
Early the next morning, Lao Qian and Wen got up early in the morning to pack their luggage. Today is the day when the family set off for Jiangxi.
Calculating the distance, it takes more than a month to stop and go to Jiangxi, and Wen has not seen his father for more than ten years, so the two of them decided to come back after the New Year in Jiangxi, and they will do their filial piety.
Wen had already cleaned up all morning.
In fact, there are not many things to pack, except for some changes of clothes and light items, and large items cannot be brought. It's just that everything in this room is something she watched little by little, and seeing that she can't come back for half a year, she is worried that the furniture and utensils will be damaged by moisture, so she carefully wiped it with a rag several times.
Qian Jin went to the back mountain early in the morning to find a hidden place and hid his meteoric iron. These meteorites are hard to find, and if they are remembered by someone with a heart, then he will lose a lot.
When the sun comes out, the family should basically clean up. Wen had already cooked the meal and woke up Bao'er to wash up. After the family had eaten, they were ready to leave.
Some villagers have already crowded at the door of Lao Qian's house to look, and Lao Qian's father and son said goodbye to them one by one, and asked them to take care of the house more.
The lieutenant commander also sent the accounts of the turret. Although the project is still far from progressing, because the villagers are working, this labor does not need to pay wages, and the main expense is stone. Therefore there were more than a hundred taels of silver left. He knew that Qian Jin needed silver taels to rush into the exam, so he sent it over early this morning.
Qian Jin took the silver two directly, and said with a smile: "I don't bother to read these accounts, anyway, they are all for the village, and grandpa will definitely not cheat me." ”
The old man's face was flushed, and he hurriedly said: "Master Qian will be joking, if it weren't for the hurry you left this time, this detailed account would definitely have to be told to you one by one." ”
Qian Jin saw that his face couldn't be hung up, and hurriedly said: "It's all a joke, Grandpa Qian shouldn't take it seriously." After this turret is repaired, some people will have to be arranged to be on duty. In addition, there are also daily guards outside the village. ”
Li Chang arched his hand and said, "Master Qian has a heart." ”
At this moment, Emily's voice came from outside the door, and it was the Swaldes who had sent her over to say goodbye to Boa. The two have known each other for more than two years, and although they don't say that they have no guesses, they also have a deep sisterhood. At this moment, the two of them are hugging each other, telling about parting.
After a long time, Emily separated from Bao'er, walked up to Qian Jin again, gave him a hug coldly, and then said in authentic Chen Guohua: "Brother Jin, I heard that the beauties in the capital are like clouds, don't be bothered." You Chen have a saying that men and women don't kiss, and we have hugged it just now. Don't worry, you will be my appointed husband in the future, and I will be responsible for you. ”
Qian Jin was embarrassed. Emily is more than thirteen years old, and it is the time when the girl is pregnant, so time flies. He walked up to Jenny, kissed the back of her hand, and hugged Sward, and they exchanged respects.
Outside, Liu Hu and Luo San also came to see them off. Qian Jin also instructed Liu Hu to pay more attention to the intelligence organization, although he did not expect this organization to have much effect from the beginning, but maybe he could find a few good seedlings, and they would be the pillars of the future.
There were a few tears on Luo San's face next to him, Qian Jin patted him on the head, and scolded with a smile: "What are you crying about, it's not that you won't come back." ”
The leopard coaxed on the side: "The fat man wants to enter the capital to eat and drink spicy food, he can only stare dryly." ”
The crowd laughed......
Qian Jin bowed to everyone, said cherished, and helped Wen and Bao'er into the carriage. Hearing only a crisp "pop", the groom picked up a whip flower in the horse's ear, and the carriage carried a family of four out of Woniu Village slowly.
……
Inside the carriage, Wen and Bao'er were very excited. Needless to say, Wen misses his father and brother. Bao'er is looking forward to that strange place, pestering the old money to ask questions.
"Daddy, what's there to do in Jiangxi?"
"Sugar gourds, mud dolls, they are all there."
"Daddy...... People are no longer little girls. ”
Old Qian suddenly woke up to the fact that he was still holding the objects that coaxed her when he was a child to deal with her, and before he knew it, his daughter was more than twelve years old. He smiled and said, "Your grandfather's place has a lot of mountains, and there are many wild goats, pheasants, rabbits, and it is said that there are also big insects. ”
When Qian Jin saw Lao Qian talking about Jiangxi, he also came over to listen. I heard that there were big insects, but I didn't think it was unusual. There are many mountains and rivers in Chen Guo, and the deforestation is not serious, and the mountains are suitable for wild beasts to survive.
When Bao'er heard that there was a big worm, she was a little frightened, so she stopped talking.
Next to him, Wen glared at Lao Qian and said softly to Bao'er: "Bao'er is not afraid. It's hard to see that big worm. When you get to your grandfather, you want your uncle to teach you how to catch bamboo chickens. In the past, your uncle often took his mother to catch them, and he could catch a few at a time, which was fun. ”
When he was about to reach Guanhai City, the horseman stopped the carriage with a "whoosh". Qian Jin lifted the curtain and saw that it was Li Demao and his party, so he got out of the carriage.
He walked to Li Demao and saluted, and said, "Li County Order, you have to work." ”
Li Demao showed displeasure on his face and said: "Xu Buzheng has already instructed me to take care of your family, and you left without a sound, how can I explain it in the future?" ”
Qian Jin confessed again and again, and hurriedly said that everything had been arranged.
Li Demao was noncommittal and continued: "The road to Jiangxi is not very smooth, if you encounter a thief, several people are at risk of their lives. I will take twenty officials with me, and I will let them escort your family to Jiangxi. ”
Qian Jin politely declined. There are only more than 100 officials in Guanhai City, and there will be 20 people to escort his family, so if something happens to Guanhai City, he will be guilty of a great crime. Moreover, he and Lao Qian are really not afraid to meet ordinary thieves.
Li Demao saw that he insisted on refusing to send someone to escort him, and saw that he and Lao Qian were carrying a long knife behind them, so he was no longer reluctant. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Since the founding of Emperor Gaozu, my Guanhai City has produced nearly a hundred jinshi. If you go to the capital, don't lose the face of our sea viewing city. ”
Qian Jin knew that Li Demao was an encouragement, and his heart couldn't help but warm.
This Li Demao usually feels treacherous and ruthless, but today, Qian Jinfang knows that he is just a little more tactful, which is good for being an official.
Bidding farewell to Li Demao, Qian Jin escorted the carriage and continued to drive north. After a while, Guanhai City was left far behind. I went to the capital, and I don't know when I will return to Guanhai City. He never recited poetry against it, but today he felt something in his heart and wrote a crooked poem:
The sun rises over the horizon, shining with heat and light;
Looking back at the familiar sea view city, the birds are still singing softly;
In the distance, the smoke curls from the cooking, and that's the village where I was born.
The path under your feet leads to the distance, where there are secrets and truths;
The shiny long knife was held in his hand, and his heart was full of pride;
It doesn't matter if he is a ghost or a ghost, he will give me retreat and perish;
Gewu Zhizhi remembers in his heart, and his heart is no longer afraid and hesitant;
Although the dark night road is bumpy, he dares to look at the sky angrily.
The beacon smoke rises from the group of heroic deer, and you and I create eternal glory.
