The sunset red glow flies all over the sky, and the autumn breeze of Xuchang Mansion is coming. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhuang Liangxiu stood outside the city facing the autumn breeze, touching his hooked nose, and his eyes never left a carriage that was gradually moving away.

Jiang Dashan stood beside him and asked carefully: "Brother Zhuang, the national teacher has already gone away, let's go back." ”

"Go back?" Zhuang Liangxiu's face became more and more ugly, and Tie Qing's face said, "What are you going back for?" ”

"Then it's naturally up to Hall Master Lin to arrange." Jiang Dashan said with a smile.

"I want you back, I don't want to go back." Zhuang Liangxiu said coldly, threw off his sleeves and left.

Jiang Dashan was puzzled, touched his beard, and asked his brothers beside him, "Xiaoshan, what did Brother Zhuang say?" ”

Jiang Xiaoshan really wanted to give this brother a slap in the head.

"These days, haven't you seen how much Yanjiao has moved, not only recruited a large number of people in Luoyang, but also transferred people from Jiangnan."

"But what does this have to do with Brother Zhuang's displeasure?" Jiang Dashan was even more puzzled.

"Big brother, you! cough, we can't figure it out, there are more people in Yanjiao, and more people in charge know more, but we have been in that Jiuliutang for half a year, have we gotten any benefits? Jiang Xiaoshan explained.

Jiang Dashan immediately understood after hearing this, but he asked even more puzzled: "Don't we get a lot of wages, and we still do one thing, and get two wages, which is much better than our farming at home, how can we say that it is not beneficial?" ”

Jiang Xiaoshan couldn't help rolling his eyes, shook his head and sighed: "Brother, you are really an elm head, if Brother Zhuang is for money, why did he come to Yanjiao?" He just wanted to get ahead, not be dictated by a hall master who wasn't as old as him! ”

"Alas, how can you kid say this about Brother Zhuang like that?" Jiang Dashan frowned.

"Hmph, you can't see this matter, Brother Lin, I have been helping Hall Master Lin run errands recently, I have learned a lot, and I have understood a lot, to put it mildly, Brother Zhuang is so ambitious, thinking about doing big things all day long, but he can't even do the smallest thing well, and he is still not convinced by Hall Master Lin, who is younger than him, do you say that Hall Master Lin will give him a chance?" Jiang Xiaoshan smiled bitterly.

Jiang Dashan was silent, and after thinking for a long time, he sighed: "I don't think Brother Zhuang is wrong, how can he be such a smart person, how can he do that little thing of handing out tea and water or running errands, isn't this Qu Cai, and this time, the national teacher suddenly let us come out, but the result was just to help bring some things to Xudu, how can Brother Zhuang have no complaints in his heart?" ”

"This ...... It stands to reason that Xingtang should be responsible for this matter, and the younger brother really can't figure it out, but Brother Zhuang really wants to count on the promotion of the national teacher, but he didn't expect the result to be that as soon as the national teacher arrived in Xudu, he patted his ass and left, only leaving a sentence with us to do a good job, no benefit, but then again, if you just help the national teacher get some salutes, you can ascend to the sky in one step, is it worthy of so many people who work hard to teach Yanjiao? ”

Jiang Dashan suddenly found that he couldn't see through this younger brother, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, it seems that Brother Zhuang doesn't want to return to Yanjiao, so let's ......."

Jiang Xiaoshan also sighed and said, "Brother, I want to go to you, I'm going back to Yanjiao, this is the twenty taels of silver I have accumulated in the past few months, and I will take it back to my father and mother." ”

Jiang Dashan looked at the twenty taels in his hand in a daze, he didn't expect that the money they might not be able to save after working hard for several years in the past was only half a year......

"Brother, if you pay less for wine to Brother Zhuang, you will definitely save more than Junior Brother!" After Jiang Xiaoshan finished speaking, he picked up his baggage and wanted to walk to the post station.

Jiang Dashan was stunned for a long time, and finally left a sigh and went to Xicheng.

Night, in the countryside.

A kerosene lamp from the orchid fan workshop hangs on the treetops, and the dark shadow under the lamp is also erratic as the autumn wind swayes.

"Tserang, do you need help?" Fang Shuwei squatted on the grass, supported her chin with one hand, and looked at Dong Ce silently with affection.

"Just don't mess with me, go feed the horses." As Dong Ce spoke, he picked up a bamboo tube with many small holes and sprinkled it on the roast chicken that was being turned over in his hand.

Fang Shuwei nodded obediently, and when she finished feeding the five horses, when she came back, she saw that Dong Ce had already roasted the roast chicken, and the fragrant breath caused the roundworms in her stomach to roar desperately, she ran over excitedly, squatted beside Dong Ce, like a little gluttonous cat, and began to be coquettish.

"Don't make a fuss, it's hot."

Dong Ce put the roast chicken on the barbecue grill on the plate, handed it to Fang Shuwei, and then put a copper kettle on the grill, and used the remaining firewood to boil the kettle water.

"Chirp!" With two soft screams, Xiaopi jumped and fell into Fang Shuwei's arms, causing Fang Shuwei to touch its little brain melon seeds lovingly, and then cut off a piece of chicken thigh meat with a dagger, and then fed it to Xiaopi.

"Pick the meat inside and give it it, this little guy doesn't like to be greasy." Dong Ce was about to make tea, and he said without looking back.

Fang Shuwei immediately woke up after hearing this, she first ate the skin on the roast chicken thighs, and then tore off some shredded meat with her bare hands and fed it to the small skin.

Fang Shuwei learned from Dong Ce that monkeys are omnivorous and can also eat meat, but what surprised him was that just after feeding Xiaopi, a huge head on the side came over, and the domineering tiger had a dog-like expression on his face.

"It's cooked food, you can't eat it." Fang Shuwei touched Xiaohu's head.

"Anyway, it's no longer wild, if it wants to eat, save some bones with meat for it to gnaw." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he got up and grabbed a chicken from a chicken coop next to him, and went to the side of the stream to start cooking.

This person who came out to play in the mountains and rivers, with Xiaohu as a foodie, is undoubtedly a burden, but Dong Ce is reluctant to give it up, firstly, he has been getting along for a long time, and secondly, he is not at ease to be taken care of by others, don't look at Xiaohu is lazy, there is no ferocity at all, but after all, it is a large beast, how dare ordinary people approach, and handing it over to others is undoubtedly keeping Xiaohu in captivity.

It's better to take it with you, travel around the world, and if you meet a tigress, maybe you can match the little tiger with a pair!

Of course, Dong Ce, who knows the habits of large beasts, doesn't know that the tigers after the clouds and rain will only be scattered in two, and even if they want to take care of them, they will be far away, and there is even no shortage of old and dead people who do not get along with each other, so there is no need to worry about the little tiger being abducted by a tigress.

It's just that such an opportunity is also hard to find, if it is changed to the end of the previous dynasty, I heard that at that time, the emperor of the dynasty was also very fond of fierce beasts, and made a garden to raise fierce beasts, there are more than a dozen tigers alone, and there is a vicious eunuch beside him, throwing the minister who offended him into the garden, and asked His Majesty to go to the high platform of the garden to watch the minister being eaten by the beast The tragic scene, but the emperor was not only not angry, but his excited eyes lit up, and ordered the eunuch to send all the eunuchs who caught the rebels and thieves to feed his treasure!

It's just a pity that after Ning Taizu captured Luoyang, he burned the garden on fire, and the beasts were also distributed to the soldiers to eat all of them, which made the emperor who was imprisoned at that time heartbroken.

After eating the roast chicken and drinking tea, Dong Ce buried the bonfire with soil, and then locked Xiaohu in the carriage.

Dong Ce only prepared a carriage and five horses, one-third of the carriage was placed to salute, and the remaining two-thirds were Xiaohu's new nest, as for the chicken coop and food, it was carried by two pack horses, and the other two pack horses were naturally rotated to pull the cart, and the last one was not a pack horse, but a yellow-maned horse that Fang Shuwei rode from Jinling to Xuzhou, then rode from Xuzhou to the west, and finally returned to Luoyang.

This yellow-maned horse has been following Fang Shuwei for four years, and she is naturally reluctant to abandon it, but fortunately, as long as the horse does not pull the cart, she can also lead the horse forward by tying the reins behind the carriage, which will not cause them trouble, but it is easy to be stolen!

And Dong Ce's shrewdness, how could he not install rearview mirrors on the carriage, and not only the rearview mirrors, axle wheels, shock absorbers, but even the body was lightened, and it was almost a brake!

"Tselang, how are we going to sleep tonight?" Fang Shuwei suddenly realized a serious problem.

On the way from Luoyang to Xuchang, they all stayed in guest houses, but Dong Ce asked to leave Xuchang when Xuchang Mansion was about to close the city gate, which also caused them to be unable to go to the village and not to have a store.

Dong Ce smiled, took out a circle of thick cloth from the box in the front door of the carriage, rolled it on the ground, and then used a few thumb-thick bamboo poles to penetrate the cloth, Fang Shuwei didn't see what Dong Ce was doing, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, a small dark green tent was set up.

It was the first time for Fang Shuwei to see such a delicate and small tent, and she was a little incredulous: "Ce Lang, this is ...... What's this? Tent? ”

"Well, this is a tent made of sail fabric, which can be windproof, rainproof, mosquito-proof, and can also add a bed silk quilt on the bamboo mat when it is cold, and the disadvantage is that it is not moisture-proof, and it is not safe in the carriage, and it cannot block arrows."

"Hehe, as long as Celang doesn't reveal his identity, who will let go of the cold arrow without saying a word, and if a small person dares to approach, don't we have a little skin." After Fang Shuwei finished smiling, she got into the small tent with great interest.

Dong Ce didn't put Xiaopi in the carriage, he just wanted to use it as a warning, the little guy is very spiritual, unlike Xiaohu who was raised by Dong Ce, Xiaopi has always maintained a strong vigilance against strangers, Dong Ce suspects that it should have been abused, and he and it have gone through a long period of time before establishing a friendship, but Fang Shuwei, it doesn't seem to be very vigilant, so that Dong Ce even doubts, this is stupid...... No, it should have something to do with naivety or innocence!

"Tserang!" Fang Shuwei suddenly opened the net door, revealing a red little face, and said tenderly to Dong Ce: "It's late at night!" ”

After the clouds and rain, Fang Shuwei pillowed Dong Ce's arm, and suddenly sighed lightly: "I don't know if my father and mother saw the letter I left?" ”

Dong Ce said: "When you miss them, you can write back more, as long as you don't tell them where you are!" ”

"And they won't be able to reply!" Fang Shuwei was a little dissatisfied.

"If you give us the reply address, do you think we'll be able to get it!" Dong Ce smiled bitterly.

Fang Shuwei also smiled bitterly and said: "Alas, who let people put a husband like you on the table, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, marry Celang, you have to go all over the world!" ”

"Hey, I've finished understanding the rhyme!" Dong Ce was happy, pinched Fang Shuwei's little Qiong's nose, and said with a smile: "When we have a child, take some time and go back secretly to have a look." ”

When Fang Shuwei heard this, her pretty face immediately turned crimson.

In the early morning of the next day, after the couple packed up, they went on the road again, as if they didn't know that last night in the city of Xuchangfu, a team of people searched all the inns, but they found nothing, but they did not give up, because the boss had given them a death order, one day could not find the national teacher, one day can not return to Luoyang!

Moreover, the team that came out to look for them was not only them, but almost the entire Zhongzhou and its vicinity, all the prefectures and counties, and even the poor and remote places, there was a team of people and horses, but the result was still nothing.

When this news came back to the capital and fell into the ears of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was angry and couldn't laugh or cry!

"Your master must have played too much this time!" The Queen Mother sneered at Cao Luorong.

"You just know! Evil Eye's favorite thing is to play missing! Cao Luorong complained fiercely in her heart, her face was pleasant, and she smiled indifferently and said: "The Queen Mother is angry, as the head of the Yan Sect, how can the master not lead by example, since ancient times, I have the important task of walking the world to learn and relieve suffering, and now that Luoyang is peaceful and healthy, the master naturally wants to go to the place where he is needed." ”

When Cao Luorong said this, she didn't want to mention how unhappy she was, but she had to explain it like this!

After hearing this, the Queen Mother fell into deep thought, Dong Ce helped her too much, and gave her the policy of governing the country, so that she was no longer confused, but now there are still too many things that have not been dealt with well, so he left suddenly, and in an instant, she suddenly felt like a mountain!

In fact, such thoughts do not only appear in the queen mother, those ministers in the court who are looking for Dong Ce to learn scriptures, the masters of the halls outside the court, and all the managers of art gardens, academies, and workshops, who doesn't feel a lot of pressure?

But they can't escape, because there are too many people behind them to eat, the art garden is Lu Qing who stands up to preside over the overall situation, the academy has Zhen Wan to provoke the beam, and the other hall masters have also calmed down, they all have a unified idea, that is, to support, the shoulders can't hold it, then use the back to carry it, no matter what, you can't let this sky collapse!
