Hearing Xue Shao say that she was going back to Chang'an soon, Princess Taiping was a little surprised, and hurriedly came in and said, "Xue Lang, we still have time, why rush to leave in the middle of the night, can't we leave tomorrow morning?" ”

Xue Shao stepped forward and hugged her waist and walked a few steps to the side, and whispered, "Actually, I want to go to Wenxi and meet my teacher." By the way, I will send you back to Chang'an together. ”

"Then you just have to go, why bother with me?" Princess Taiping smiled slightly and said, "I'm not a child who goes out alone, there are people to take care of here." You still have two days to visit Pei Gong. The day after tomorrow, I will set off from Lantian and you will start from Wenxi. We agreed to meet at the Qingniuyi in the north of Chang'an City, what do you think? ”

"Good." Xue Shao nodded gratefully and hugged her tighter, "Then I won't be able to accompany you for the next two days." ”

"How can a man's husband accompany a woman all the time?" Princess Taiping grinned, "Go, go!" Your horse is fast, Wenxi is not too far, leave earlier and arrive in Wenxi County earlier, you can talk to Pei Gong more. ”

"Thank you, Enron!" Xue Shao picked up Princess Taiping's face and kissed her on the forehead.

Yu Hongye stood in the room with her eyebrows bowed, and the corner of her eyes caught this scene in her eyes, and she immediately closed her eyes.

"Go quickly, go back quickly, see you or leave." Princess Taiping didn't say much, turned around and left.

"Hmm......" Xue Shao nodded and let out a long breath.

Princess Taiping's transformation is really big. I remember the moment I just met, how could Princess Taiping be so reasonable and easy to discuss? In less than a year, she seems to have faded most of her youthfulness, restrained all her arrogance, and become mature, wise, and understanding.

Such a Taiping princess is too charming.

Xue Shao glanced back at Yu Hongye, and she hurriedly bowed her hand, "Childe wants to go to Wenxi overnight, have you ever known the way?" Need a guide? ”

Xue Shao said: "I only know the general direction, and in the middle of the night, I really don't know the way." ”

"Then let Momiji be a guide for Childe!" Yu Hongye smiled slightly, "Wenxi, I'm familiar!" ”

Xue Shao laughed, "How can the big proprietor personally be my guide, this is a lowly job done by a porter and a pawn!" ”

"Childe, don't make fun of it, Momiji was originally a pawn of the merchant traveler. If it weren't for the son's efforts, would he be where he is today? Yu Hongye bowed deeply, "Wait a minute, I'll send someone to prepare the horses immediately!" ”

"Okay, then you'll have to work for you." Xue Shao nodded, it would be better to have Yu Hongye as a guide. It just so happens that I still have a lot to ask her, and I won't be bored if I have someone to accompany her on the road.

After a while, Yu Hongye prepared three fast horses, one of which was Xue Shao's Weilong. In addition, she prepared drinking water, dry food, and coiled goods, and she herself changed into a Hu suit that was easy to ride a horse, and she was ready for it.

Xue Shao, Yuenu, and Yu Hongye immediately set off from Yaochi Yulin and headed to Wenxi County, Hedong, in the northeast.

Wenxi County is more than 300 miles away from Kyoto, and Xue Shao's ancestral hometown of Fenyin is under the rule of Hezhong Prefecture. Fenyin is the old name of the Han Dynasty, and it has been included in Baoding County in the Tang Dynasty today, and it is east of the Yellow River like Wenxi County. Hedong Fenyin Xue and Wenxi Pei are both famous surnames in the world. The two clans are not far apart, and there are many intermarriages and contacts with each other, and the relationship between in-laws and teachers is intertwined.

More than 300 miles away, for the Weilong Baoju who travels thousands of miles a day, it is really nothing. If it weren't for the fact that Yu Hongye and Yuenu's horses were not particularly fast, Xue Shao also took into account the woman's poor body, so he would not have to spend a whole night on the road.

At dawn, the three of them had already arrived in Baoding County. After a little inquiry, I easily found Pei Xingjian's hometown, which was actually in the countryside on the outskirts of the county.

The three of them took a break in the city and ate something, and then went all the way to the countryside to ask for help. Because it was early in the morning and it was not the busy season for farming, the village was quite quiet and there were not many pedestrians, and there were only a few earth dogs barking when they saw the living people barking in the fields and mountain roads.

Xue Shao and the others took a lot of effort and walked through several winding sheep intestine paths before they found an inconspicuous farm.

The farmers in the township said that this is the hometown of the famous Pei Xingjian.

Xue Shao and the three got off the horse and walked to the front of the farm, and saw that the mottled and old gate of the village was tightly closed, the courtyard wall was dilapidated in many places, and there were many weeds growing in front of the door.

Really, the front of the door snubbed Kurama.

Xue Shao wrinkled his brows, Pei Xingjian has always been low-key and frugal, and his residences in Chang'an are very simple and cold, not to mention the ancestral house that he rarely comes to live in and take care of.

stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it took a long time for an old servant with a rickety waist and gray hair to answer.

"Old man, my surname is Xue Mingshao, and I am ...... from Chang'an," Xue Shao had just said this, and the old servant slammed the door shut.

"Hey, how can that be!" The moon slave was angry.

Xue Shao grabbed her and dragged her back, knocked on the door again, and said loudly: "Old man, I am a student of Pei Gong, and I came to see the teacher!" ”

No response.

Xue Shao patiently knocked on the door and shouted. Many times, there was still no movement.

Yu Hongye whispered: "Son, probably Duke Pei had orders, but none of the guests who came from Chang'an." The old servant is stubborn, he only listens to the son of Chang'an, and no matter who you are, he will no longer answer the door. ”

"Probably." Xue Shao nodded, "Pei Gong has always been cautious, and now he deliberately leaves Chang'an, just because he doesn't want to care about Chang'an's affairs anymore." ”

"How's that to be?" After all, the moon slave was a little impatient, and said, "Otherwise, how about I go over the wall and go in to report it, and apologize again when I see Pei Gong?" ”

"Nonsense!" Xue Shao's face was blank, "This is my teacher's home, whoever dares to break in, I will break his legs!" ”

The moon slave's neck shrank and hurriedly retreated, his face flushed.

"Why don't you wait?" Yu Hongye said, "Maybe Pei Gong and his wife haven't gotten up yet, and they can't hear the son's voice." Later, maybe they'll hear it. I think that if Pei Gong doesn't see anyone, he will still be willing to see Gongzi after all. ”

"Okay, then wait!"

Xue Shao and the three of them waited in front of Pei Xingjian's ancestral house. Every once in a while, Xue Shao stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one ever opened the door again.

From early in the morning, until noon. Many villagers are cooking on the fire, and the smoke curls in the mountains and fields, and the aroma of rice is overflowing.

Yuenu waited patiently for a long time, and was already impatient, so he turned over and stood on the saddle, stood on tiptoe, and glanced at the courtyard, then jumped off the horse and said, "Childe, smoke has risen in the courtyard. I also saw two children playing with bamboo horses in the yard. Probably, that's Pei Gong's youngest son, right? ”

"I see." Xue Shao replied lightly, sighing in his heart, it seems that Pei Gong doesn't even want to see me!

"I don't know if you're there?" The moon slave muttered quietly, and suddenly had an idea, and shouted, "Lose it!" ”

Immediately there was a beastly roar in the courtyard, and a fierce dog rushed to the gate of the courtyard and began to scratch and bang on the door.

"What are you yelling about?" Xue Shaoli snorted, "Lose it, go back!" ”

The fierce dog Diadiu obviously recognized the voices of Yue Nu and Xue Shao, it was really obedient, and immediately ran back and stopped barking.

Xue Shao sighed, knocked on the door, and said, "Pei Gong, the students have come to visit, and they have no other intention than to visit. Since Pei Gong doesn't want to see me, the students are also willing to follow your old man's wishes and not disturb me. Student, say goodbye, teacher, take care! ”

After saying that, Xue Shao faced the gate and bowed down.

"Crunch", the door opened.

The demon stood at the door, holding two old wooden boxes in his hands, and beside him stood the pitch-black and tall fierce dog Didi, who was spitting out his scarlet tongue and wagging his tail enthusiastically.

"Demon!" As soon as the moon slave saw the demon, he screamed happily.

"Brother Fairy, Sister Yuenu, Sister Momiba, hello!" The demon said hello like an adult, and then stepped forward and held it with both hands, and said: "This is the wedding gift from Pei Gong to Brother Fairy, please take it away!" ”

"A wedding gift?" Xue Shao reached out and picked up one of the boxes, long and narrow, heavy. When I opened it, I saw an old saber inside.

The demon said: "This is the sword that Pei Gong's mentor Su Baofang left to Pei Gong before he died. Pei Gong said, I will give it to you today. ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, is this a mantle inheritance?

"What's the other one?" Yue Nu was curious, came forward to pick up the box, opened it and saw that it was a lyre, which also looked a little old, and the head and tail had been polished to shine.

"This is an old piano that Pei Gong often likes to play, and it is made by Pei Gong himself, and it has been used for more than 30 years." The demon said, "Pei Gong said that he also gave it to the fairy brother today." ”

"Pei Gong, don't you want to see me?" Xue Shao twisted his eyebrows and asked.

You'er's expression became a little sad, and she whispered: "Pei Gong is sick, and he has been lying in bed since he came back, coughing every night, and he can't sleep well. He said to the old man, "Don't see anyone...... He also said that when the fairy brother saw these two wedding gifts, he knew his mind. Seeing and not seeing, it's all ordinary. ”

"......" Xue Shao was speechless and fell into silence.

The sword, in Chinese culture, symbolizes the ancient holy product, the supreme and noble, the people and gods are worshipped, and is known as the "king of a hundred soldiers". It is a symbol of integrity, strength, chivalry and strength.

The piano undoubtedly symbolizes Confucianism, elegance and indifference.

"The heart of the small couch qin exhibition, the long tasseled sword is bold" - the Confucian doctors of the Tang Dynasty not only pursue the strength and integrity of the sword, but also yearn for the elegance and indifference of the qin. The sword and the heart of the heart mean that the combination of rigidity and softness, chivalry and elegance has always been the highest state of life ethics and self-cultivation that they pursue.

"I understand...... Xue Shao nodded, Pei Gong is teaching me how to be a person and how to position my life pursuit!
