28. Study tour to Beijing
Guo Jia walked in front of the dead deer and said with a grudge on his face: "It's like this every time, chasing all the way, and finally letting Yi Ge'er take it away!" ”
Luan Yi laughed when he heard this, and took the bloody discus from the sika deer's head. On the grass, he wiped the sharp edges around the discus and said, "It's just a fluke, it's a fluke!" ”
However, Dian Wei clearly knew that Luan Yi was not a fluke! Over the years, Luan Yi has been practicing throwing hard, and now he has reached the level of nine hits in ten shots within fifty steps. It seems that the range is not as good as that of a bow and arrow, but don't forget, the discus is so heavy, and the power contained in it is not something that ordinary people can resist, and even Dian Wei is not sure that he can take the discus thrown by Luan Yi within fifty steps.
Gather firewood and make a fire. Roasting venison raw in the jungle, talking about wine all over the world, melancholy arises spontaneously.
It is now the fourth year of Guanghe, and the peasants of Cangwu and Guiyang have successively erected anti-flags, but because of their small scale and lack of sufficient military literacy, they were soon suppressed by the official army. Like a piece of gravel falling into the water, it did not stir up a big wave. In the spring of this year, the Xianbei tribe went south to disturb the two states, and the lives were devastated.
At this point, the poor Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still full of meat and wine, and the Manchu Dynasty was also in peace, closed in a false peaceful and prosperous world constructed by himself. But I didn't know that in three years, the Yellow Turban Army would sweep through Kyushu, and at that time, the Han Society would really decline.
Luan Yi was really anxious in his heart. He didn't want the Han Dynasty to be swept away by the war, and this war was still fought by his own family. The price of war is painful, a tragedy made of flesh and blood. He wanted to stop this, but ...... Although he has some statements now, he is just a small person, a little scholar! can't control the direction of a dynasty at all, let alone the big man who walks to the cliff.
He was powerless. It's really powerless.
While drinking, Xun Yu stood up and said goodbye to everyone: He is sixteen years old this year, if he hadn't been delayed because of the big wedding last year, he would have gone out to study long ago. Next month he plans to go out and visit the Magi in various places, and by the way he will see the great rivers and mountains.
In ancient times, students advocated reading thousands of books rather than walking thousands of miles. Therefore, when they have read a certain degree of books, they often choose to travel to increase their knowledge and spread their reputation. According to the usual practice, the age of study tours is generally around 14 years old, and Xun Yu is now 16 years old, which is obviously overage!
In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, and the study tour was less than one or two years, and more than ten years and decades, and the next time we met, I don't know what year it is!
In the past four years, they have gotten along with Xun Yu day and night, and they have long become friends who talk about everything. Hearing that Xun Yu was going to leave Yingchuan to go out to study, Luan Yi and Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Luan Yi thought for a while and asked Xun Yu, "Where is Wen Ruo going to go first?" ”
Xun Yu said: "Luoyang." Yu wants to go to the capital first! ”
Luan Yi remembered that since worshipping Cai Yong as a teacher, Cai Yong had passed through Yingchuan twice on his way home, but he and Guo Jia's apprentices had never visited Cai Yong's house in the capital. He suggested: "Brothers, can I go with Brother Wenruo and go to Luoyang to visit the teacher together?" ”
Hearing that there was no need to separate from Xun Yu for the time being, everyone nodded excitedly. Xiao Guo Jia was even more full of expectations for the trip to the capital, and shouted excitedly.
In ancient times, parents did not discipline their children as strictly as they did later. Some of the children of the 14th Five-Year Plan are full of Han people, so after the hunt, everyone explained to their families that they were going to go out and enter Beijing.
The old man Luan Tao Luan even raised his hands in approval, but his mother was a little reluctant and worried.
Luan Tao saw his daughter-in-law weeping, so he comforted him, "This baby! The old man can't beat him now, who else dares to bully him on the road! ”
At the same time as approving Luan Yi's entry into Beijing. Luan Tao also felt that it was not easy to go to the capital, and Luan Yi had better bring more yellow and white things, hometown specialties, and some small things from the Luan family. When the time comes, send it to the official, worship the Magi, and have a good response in the future.
Luan Yi thought about it too, and let the old man prepare.
He never thought that the gifts prepared by Old Man Luan would be full of ten cars. Among them, the first three cars are full of gold and silver, the last four cars are brocade, silk, bronze utensils and other handicrafts, and the last four cars are equipped with brocade books, folding fans, abacus and other gadgets that Luan Yi has made over the years.
Glancing at the convoy lined up from the street to the end of the street, Luan Yi's heart turned over, and he complained to the old man Luan that he was going to the capital to study, and he was not a businessman, so he was guilty of bringing so many things!
The old man Luan directly ignored Luan Yi's dissatisfaction, and said sternly: "The poor family is rich, if you don't take it, you have to take it!" If you don't take it, don't enter Beijing. ”
Luan Yi had no choice but to agree. On the day when everyone agreed to enter Beijing, they drove the convoy to Yangzhai West Gate.
In the team, Luan Yi is in the first place. He wore a scarf on his head, a white scholar's robe, and a folding fan on a white background.
On the surface of the folding fan, a vivid picture is drawn. I saw the clear lake water, the microwave rippled, and the two agile swimming fish saw the stems and leaves of the lotus flowers playing back and forth in the water. A proud lotus flower splashed out of the water, and it looked so noble and beautiful against the compliment of the lush lotus leaves.
In the upper right corner of the fan is a line of words. Although the word is not big, it shows the trend of a dragon walking and a snake, which is written by Luan Yi himself, "out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons." Gentleman of Flowers! "Quite heroic.
In addition, Luan Yi also had a sword pinned to his waist. Straddling under his feet is a fine Xiliangmane horse, the body of the horse is white and translucent, so handsome. Matched with Luan Yi, who is white all over, the indescribable elegance is faintly revealing the taste of sacredness.
Luan Yi left and right, followed by Dian Wei and Luan Fu respectively. Dian Wei, who is tall and tall, complements his group of war horses. A close-fitting samurai robe set off his majestic figure, and in the bags on both sides of the war horse, a pair of halberds showed cold light, coupled with the appearance of the fat face, those who looked at it would shudder.
Behind them, there were twenty tall horses pulling ten carts full of wealth, and the carts were guarded by the Luan family, a total of 30 people. In the convoy, Xiao Cui also stubbornly wanted to follow, saying that he wanted to go to the capital for a long time.
Luan Yi was helpless, it was not easy to think about the little girl, and it would not be easy to leave the house with her in-laws in the future, let alone go to the capital. Thinking of this, he granted her request.
Out of the city gate, Luan Yi couldn't help but be happy when he saw Xun Yu's accompanying convoy.
Compared with the Luan family's team, the Xun family's team can be said to be inferior, with as many as thirteen carriages, which is mighty. Together with the Luanjia convoy, the carriage roof Xun and Luan banner hunted with the wind, which was quite spectacular.
Compared with Xun Yu and Luan Yi, Guo Jia and Shan Fu's bags are much simpler. Carrying a head on his shoulders, the burden is only a few clothes and books that he reads with him, and he doesn't take anything else, and his sleeves are breezy, and he doesn't even bring a copper plate. Anyway, they knew that Luan Yi and Xun Yu had money.
looks like a big eater.
The sky was just dawning. The wheels started slowly and headed west along the official road.
Speaking of this official road, it is actually a road that is slightly smoother than ordinary dirt roads. The pavement is made of earth, which has been tamped by hard labor, and looks sturdy, but in fact a heavy rainstorm will turn the pavement into a mud pool. After the rain and the weather is clear, the smooth road surface becomes a depression with potholes, and it cannot be repaired.
Luan Yi and others went all the way to the northwest on such off-road roads. Luan Yi who was riding on a horse was better, but Xiao Cui, who was sitting in the carriage, was coquettish, and she hated having to take the carriage and walk by herself.
However, there is a long way to go, at least 30 miles a day, and such a long way is not something that a little woman can walk...... Xiao Cui is worth walking and sometimes taking a car. When walking, looking at Luan Yi and them riding a tall horse, I couldn't help but feel a little envious in my heart. I thought to myself, how nice it would be if she could ride a horse too.
However, she didn't know. In fact, riding a horse for long distances is also a very painful thing, and this is something that only those who have actually ridden a horse know.
The horse's body moves up and down as it moves, and the rider has to clamp his legs on the horse's belly if he wants to sit on the horse without falling off, which is not only physically demanding. At the same time, the horse's hair is hard, constantly rubbing back and forth against the base of the rider's thigh, and the road is too much, and even the blood blisters on both sides of the rider's thigh root will grind.
Don't look at Luan Yi, they look chic in the daytime. In fact, after staying at the inn at night, I was in pain. The brothers hid in the house, took off their pants to dry their wounds, and helped each other to apply healing powder to the wounds.
The hateful Guo Jia gathered aside to make trouble, looking at this from time to time, and then at that, pointing to everyone's bare lower body, sometimes laughing, sometimes shocked, "Wow...... Shan Fu is so small! Wow...... Brother Mao is good enough! Tsk......"
"Get out of the way!"
The Xun family and the Luan family are both wealthy families in Yingchuan. Of course, the Xun family is a century-old family, and the family has been an official for generations, which is quite influential on the ground of Yingchuan. As for the Luan family, four generations in business, they belong to a nouveau riche merchant family. However, although the Luan family is not as good as the Xun family in terms of historical origin, it can be regarded as good in black and white in Yingchuan.
In ancient China, whether it was a peaceful and prosperous era or a time of great chaos, characters such as bandits and ringing horses were always indispensable. No way, who let us have a lot of resources! Just find a deep mountain and bring a few outlaws, you can do this kind of blood-licking business, so that there is an industry of "theft" in the three hundred and sixty lines.
The Luan family, as the largest wealthy businessman in the local area. It is often necessary to travel in and out of Yingchuan, so it is inevitable to deal with bandits and bandits. In this regard, the Luan family has always been generous, and the toll should be paid, and when the king of the mountain encountered difficulties, the old man Luan Tao also tried his best to help. For a time, the Luan family left a reputation of benevolence, righteousness and open-mindedness in the minds of the best people. When the Luan family caravan drove back and forth, as long as the banner of the word "Luan" was lit, all the mountain bandits would sell some face, and they would never do anything to kill people and sell goods.
As a result, Luan Yi and Xun Yu and their entourage, although the convoy was huge and carried a lot of wealth, they were safe and sound along the way. Even if someone blocks the road, you only need to pay a few dozen small sums to buy the road, and you can pass smoothly.
