"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

Cai Mansion in Xiaocili, Xianyou County ushered in a group of uninvited guests.

The porter of Cai's house is a little old man, and he usually does things slowly and leisurely. No matter how big an official comes to the door, it has always been like this. Of course, so far, the largest official in Cai Mansion is the magistrate of Xianyou County.

But this time, the little old man ran as fast as the wind, and it took him less than three minutes to finish what usually took two quarters of an hour to complete. He shouted loudly along the way, with a face that could not be concealed with joy and a little awe.

This little old man in the porter is called Cai Lao Liu, although he is not big, but his voice is the largest in the entire Cai Mansion.

No, Cai Xi, the fourth housekeeper who beat Laoyuan, heard the good news, and no one thought that it was actually a holy decree.

In his memory, the most lively and beautiful moment in Cai's Mansion should be eleven years ago, when the two masters were promoted to Jinshi at the same time. At that time, the county commander of Xianyou County and the master sent by the governor of Xinghua Military Prefecture came to Cai Mansion to celebrate.

But such a lofty thing as the Holy Decree is the first time in the Cai Mansion in filial piety. Even in the entire Xianyou County, only the old patriarch Cai Xiang can have this honor.

Except for the time when he took the third son home, he had only been to the capital, and Cai Xi had never seen any big scenes at all.

At this time, he was also completely panicked.

He could only send someone to inform Cai Dao on the one hand, and send someone to ride a fast horse out of the corner gate and go to Xianyou County to inform the patriarch Cai Xuan of the news, he really didn't know how to deal with this matter.

At this time, Cai Dao was sitting in the big cafeteria, and when he heard the news from the four housekeepers, he was indeed very surprised, is there an adult in the family, how can there be a holy decree in a good manner?

He was a little happy and a little dazed in his heart.

Looking up at the outside, the heavy rain that had been falling for seven or eight days finally stopped, the sky was blue and there was not a trace of clouds in sight, and the rising sun hung high in the sky, looking extraordinarily spiritual.

Hope the good weather brings good luck!

The hundreds of ten children around were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and even the fragrant dumplings around them didn't care about eating, and they didn't dare to move, staring at Cai Dao in a daze. From the time these children were born to the time they were sent to Caifu, they never left Xiaocili. On weekdays, through the Master's teachings, I also vaguely understand the meaning of the holy decree.

"Alright, alright, don't be stunned. Everyone continued to eat. Cai Dao stood up and waved at the stupid children.

Seeing the children return to normal, he beckoned Dahua, Cai Basket and Cai Ban to his side.

"Dahua, you and Cai Basket go to my room and get a clean set of royal blue clothes and come out. Dahua, after looking for clothes, you instructed the servants to boil more hot water, and prepare all the toiletries, as for mine, Dahua you will do it yourself. ”

"No! Son. Dahua agreed, and immediately turned around and walked out quickly.

Cai Basket followed behind Dahua, but this fool stared back at the pot of dumplings on his table step by step, and saliva was dripping down the corners of his mouth to the placket.

Seeing Cai Basket's unproductive appearance, Cai Dao was angry and funny, so he had to say, "Fool, I'll let you warm your dumplings, and you can eat them when you're done." Wipe your saliva first! ”

"Know...... Got it, Childe, I'm ...... Do it right away...... That's it! After speaking, Cai Basket spread the girl and ran out.

"Childe, what about me?" When Cai Ban saw his brother's appearance, he also shook his head helplessly.

"You go and inform your grandfather,

First of all, open the middle door to welcome the messenger, prepare more gongs and drums, suona, and make it more lively;

secondly, arrange some ginger soup and dumplings first, prepare a set of clean clothes for each person, and arrange a few clever little servants to wait on the side;

Again, let people sweep the courtyard of the patio again and arrange the incense case.

Finally, after receiving the holy decree, go and prepare a table of rich wine and meat for these people to wash the dust.

After arranging these, the housekeeper also hurriedly bathed and changed clothes, and took the order with me in a while.

By the way, after informing your grandfather, you will also go and change into a new set of clothes. ”

"Childe, I'll forget it! Isn't it embarrassing for you to go out like this? Haven't I eaten yet? Cai Ban held a small notebook and recorded Cai Dao's words at a glance.

When he heard that the third prince asked him to participate in the order, he pleaded with Cai Dao with a bitter face.

"No! As my follower, you will go out to meet the market in the future, and you must attend such an important occasion. Besides, can your brother be like that? Haven't eaten yet? The next time you kid lies, remember to wipe your mouth clean first. Cai Dao patiently explained, in fact, he was secretly proud in his heart: It is because of you, a thin monkey, that he can show the tall and mighty of his son.

Cai Ban lowered his head, but he didn't move his steps, he understood the reason, but he was still reluctant to go. muttered in my heart: Stealing food is stealing food, but I clearly remember that I have wiped my mouth twice after stealing food, and Childe must be lying to me.

"What, what I said doesn't work now? Otherwise, if you go out and run two laps now, and if you can come back in a quarter of an hour, I won't let you participate. Cai Dao has long known the personalities of the two brothers around him.

Cai Basket is a bit stupid, but he is sincere. However, Cai Ban, this kid is not stiff at all. On the contrary, it is quite slippery, and I don't know whose temperament it is. Cai Dao also made gossip speculations, and Cai Ban is very likely not Cai Basket's brother.

"Ugh!" As soon as Cai Ban heard it, he knew that he was completely exposed, and without saying a word, he went out to find his grandfather, but he was thinking about how the third son had a flaw.

The courtyard of Cai's Mansion has been specially transformed by Cai Dao, and it looks like a thousand meters after running a lap. At this time, if he is allowed to run two laps, it will be asking for his life! In fact, he did secretly eat all kinds of dumplings in the canteen, if he wasn't afraid of being exposed, he would have eaten enough in the canteen.

When Cai Ban found his grandfather in the front hall, Cai Xi was in a hurry there.

After listening to Cai Ban's relay, he sighed: "The third son is the third son, and it is worthy of the bloodline of the second master and the prince." Even if I've never experienced anything like this, it's still well arranged! ”

……

According to Cai Dao's arrangement, Cai Xi properly arranged the people who passed the decree and returned to his room to bathe and change clothes.

After he cleaned up, he went out of the room to the patio, and saw the third prince in a royal blue robe also walking in.

Actually, what he didn't know was that Cai Dao had already come. However, he had been hiding from the sidelines, secretly scrutinizing those who had sent the message.

Cai Dao had heard in later generations that the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty used it to please the people not because of their combat effectiveness but because of their super good looks.

Of course, each dynasty has a different interpretation of appearance. For example, the second son of the famous Di Qing, Di Yong, heard that he is a beautiful man in the world, but if Di Yong is put in the next generation, he will be a fierce man at most, and there is still a distance from the handsome guy and Xiao Xianrou.

The people who came to deliver the message verified this statement, and there were ten people in total, all of whom were good-looking.

Especially the young man who was the leader, he was in his twenties, six feet tall and still hanging zero, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a wide nose and a square mouth, a typical handsome pot, even Cai Dao was jealous when he saw it, this is definitely the whole people in the future, no, it should be said that it is the public enemy of all men.

Tiger back bee waist, if you have a red body, you may not have more than a dozen abdominal muscles, but it must be an inverted triangle body, and that body will make the rotten girls drool just by standing there. Covered with a cyan curved collar robe, wide sleeves, and a horizontal skirt under the skirt, it is automatic without wind. A leather belt is tied around his waist, and on the left side of the belt hangs a simple knife commonly used by the forbidden army, wearing a hat (that is, a hat that can be worn at any time without a rope), and a pair of fast boots made of black leather.

Song Qi is longer than the previous generation, and Cai Dao visually measured that this one must have about 1.85.

The other nine people are also dignified, with big shoulders and round waists, and they have all changed into the civilian clothes specially prepared by the Cai Mansion for guests, but these people's hair is wet. However, it also shows from another side that the family background of these nine people can only be said to be average, and they did not bring any extra change of clothes at all.

Seeing this, Cai Dao was secretly surprised in his heart, their faces were tired, and their hair was still wet, indicating that they were in a hurry all the way from the capital, didn't they just send a holy decree, these people didn't even avoid the rain?

What decree is so important?

The young man who started was brightly dressed, although he also looked like a dusty man, but looking at his outfit, he knew that he had just changed his clothes before coming to Cai's Mansion, which means that this handsome pot has a good family background, and it is very likely that he is behind the gate.

However, just based on the other party's outfit, Cai Dao couldn't see the specific grade of the other party.

"Dare to ask Shangguan's surname? To whom this decree is to be preached? Cai Xi saw that the main owner had arrived, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Don't give your surname Di! Without further ado, who are you? The people in charge of your house are here! Di Juntou stood up, glanced at Cai Xi and Cai Dao who were standing in the forefront, nodded and said unceremoniously.

"The old servant is the fourth housekeeper of the Cai Mansion, and this Cai Dao is the second son of the second master of my family."

Dean looked Cai Dao up and down several times, and was very surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect that the main owner of this trip was this doll. It's really not very old, but this doll is so calm! It's indeed a Luo pot, but this head is taller and stronger than the rumors, is the rumor wrong! Forget it, I'll pass the decree first and bring people back to the capital immediately.

"That's good! Kneel down and hearken. Temporarily putting aside the doubts in his heart, Di Juntou came to the north side of the incense case, dusted off the dust that did not exist on his body, and stretched out his hand to take out the holy decree from his arms.

Very helpless, a new youth from the new era. Even when he came to this era, that is, to worship his ancestors during the New Year's holidays, when did he kneel down to people.

But the situation is stronger than people, Cai Dao had to lead everyone to the south side of the incense case, light incense, kneel on the ground and kowtow, and then lowered his head and couldn't get up. As for the ritual of three bows and nine bows, what is it, or I can come to the ground with a five-body throw.

He's a doll and doesn't understand any of this at all.

The fourth housekeeper and his grandson Cai Ban were already blindfolded at this time, and it was estimated that they were so frightened that they couldn't even find Bei, so they shrank back and learned Cai Dao's salute.

Sure enough, Di Juntou glanced at Cai Dao with a frown, and didn't care, unfolded the holy decree and read it.

"Ding! The traitor system is activated, and it is being started, please be patient with the host! ”

Cai Dao was startled by this sudden voice, so he didn't jump up in front of everyone, and forced himself to calm down and suppress the chaotic mood, so that he didn't make a fool of himself in front of everyone. Five years have passed, and he has been waiting for Goldfinger for a full five years. Originally, it had been abandoned, but who knew that it was activated in such a situation.

system, the traitor system of his meow, do you have to be a traitor if you are born in a traitor's house?

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: ......"

Sure enough, these eight words are such a broken sentence, and those costume films are really deceptive. Cai Dao only listened to these eight words, and he didn't have the heart to listen to them anymore.

At this moment, his brain is completely empty, and he doesn't know what to think?

What's more, Di Juntou read the four or six prose texts in a subdued and catchy manner, but all the people present were blindfolded, and they couldn't understand it at all!

Fortunately, the silk silk for writing the holy decree was not large and the content was limited, and Di Juntou read it for only a few minutes.

Just now, Cai Xi saw that Cai Dao's mood was suddenly a little abnormal, and the holy decree had been read, and he gently patted Cai Dao's back in the back to remind him.

Cai Dao reacted at this time and shouted loudly: "Grass people, thank you Lord Longen!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! While shouting in his mouth, he threw himself to the ground and knelt down in a pattern. Others naturally follow suit, and follow Cai Dao to shout long live.

'Why is this kid talking so slippery!' Is this the origin of family learning? Di Juntou looked at this little pudding kneeling there and shouting long live, without the slightest hint of stage fright, and muttered in his heart.

Cai Dao finished saluting, stood up, and walked a few steps to Di Juntou, raising his arms, ready to receive the holy decree.

When he first came out, Cai Dao was too small, and Di Juntou hadn't paid attention to it.

But at this time, Cai Dao only walked a few steps, but he noticed that Cai Dao's back was indeed a little hunched, but his legs were not looped legs as rumored. As a person who practiced martial arts, of course he could see that the child in front of him was a few years old.

The child knelt for a short time, but his legs were not completely numb, and it only took a short time to return to normal, and he walked vigorously, but the chassis was very stable.

It's not easy!

This kid is not simple!

Such a young child is still a practitioner. It's not strange if this is left in the military attaché's house, but isn't it said that the Cai family's poetry and books are heirlooms?

From the moment he saw Cai Dao, Di Juntou felt that this child was very strange, and there was a sense of incongruity from head to toe. But he just can't say that there is no harmony there?

After the two sides handed over the holy decree, Cai Dao just wanted to turn around and leave, when he heard Di Juntou whisper in his ear: "Child, you come closer." The emperor has an oracle for you! And I can only tell you one person! ”

Cai Dao nodded when he heard this, and stepped forward to approach Di Juntou's side.

"Doll, it's time for you to go back to Beijing!" Di Jun leaned down and whispered these words in Cai Dao's ear, "Also, you must be escorted into Beijing in the first month, so I will only give you one hour to pack your things and set off immediately after that, without delay." ”

Saying such kind words in a serious tone made Cai Dao feel a little confused. He shouldn't have seen Emperor Shenzong, but there was a familiar flavor in his words.

"This big brother, can you reveal what happened? Why is there such a hurry? Cai Dao was frightened when he heard this, and he completely lost his composure just now, could it be that his cheap dad had an accident? Or maybe his grandfather's awkward old man had died? However, it's not right! Even if you can't remember the specific historical trajectory of these two celebrities, at this point in time, neither of them should have anything to do.

"Little doll, don't be cranky! When you arrive in the capital, you will naturally know! Go clean up! ”

So, Cai Dao spent an hour, packed up tightly and neatly, and sat in a small carriage specially made for himself, with three entourages - Cai Basket, Cai Ban, and Xiao Mi Tu, who had just arrived at Cai's mansion. There are a lot of miscellaneous things in the car, mainly due to Cai Dao's research results in recent years.

By the time the patriarch Cai Xuan and the county magistrate of Xianyou County felt Cai's mansion, the group had already left Cai's mansion and dared to go to the capital

……

In other words, in these days, there are no high-speed trains and airplanes. Going out is basically by walking, and finding people is basically by yelling, which is the characteristic of this era.

If it weren't for Cai Dao's two specially made carriages, it is estimated that the three of them would have to fall ill on the road, but the little dazed person was particularly adaptable.

After walking such a long way, Cai Dao naturally would not treat himself badly, and he did not forget those who escorted him, so Cai Xi, the fourth housekeeper, sent his youngest son, Cai Basket and Cai Ban's third uncle Cai Wu, to drive a big ox cart and follow Cai Dao and them all the way. There were a lot of things on the ox cart, but they weren't very important, nothing more than some oil cakes, grilled fish, marinated meat, and fruit wine.

Originally, according to Di'an's original plan, the group should return along the original road, should start from Xiaocili, all the way along the official road through Fuzhou, over the mountains and mountains, out of the Fu Jian Road into the Liangzhejiang Road, until they arrive in Hangzhou, and take a boat along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. However, the canal at that time should not be called the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but the Sui-Tang Grand Canal.

However, Cai Dao did not agree with this plan, since he was so anxious, it was better to take a sea boat. This is because horseback riding on the road is certainly not as fast as sailing on the sea, and the northern section of the canal must have been partially frozen at this time, and the snow in the north is heavy.

He proposed two options, one was to take a sea boat from Xiaocili to Mizhou (that is, today's Jingdong Road Zhucheng), where there was also a city ship, and the other was to go along the Yangtze River to Hanyang Army and land there. Judging from the map, the straight-line distance from the two to Bianliang is about the same.

In the end, Dean chose to go directly to Mizhou, because he knew that although it was safer to sail along the Yangtze River, it would delay more time when the wind direction could not be guaranteed, and the land route from Hankou to Bianliang would have to bypass the Dabie Mountains during the journey. On the contrary, Jingdong East Road, although it is mountainous, most of it is hilly, and it is mostly concentrated in the south.

According to Cai Dao's plan, the journey did save a lot of time. When I arrived in Mizhou, I went all the way to Jingdong East Road and watched the snow.

In the cold wind, the other children in the carriage looked sluggish, but Cai Dao seemed very happy, not only to see the long-lost heavy snow, but also to the people of Jingdong Road. Because the heavier the snow, the better the harvest here next year, and the chances of locust plagues are much smaller.

……

After a cold storm and snow, the group finally arrived in Bianliang, Tokyo before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Cai Basket and Cai Ban both went out for the first time, and the first time they saw Bianliang City, they couldn't see it with their two eyes at all, and although it wasn't the first time for Xiao Mi to come here, she was still young at that time, and she didn't have any impression at all, and she didn't behave much better than those two fools. As for Cai Dao, although Bianliang City is now the largest metropolis in the world, any provincial-level city in the future will be more prosperous than her, and he has long been surprised.

But that Dean has been observing his reaction all the way, and if Cai Dao behaves calmly, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the other party. Therefore, he deliberately acted like those two stupid brothers, probing his brain and looking around.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and it was almost time to close the city gate, because there was a text, so the group did not need to line up with those ordinary people, and quickly entered the city.

"Cai Gongzi, it's getting late now, presumably I can't enter the palace today. I wonder where Childe plans to sleep? ”
