With three precious Han and Wei inscriptions in his arms, Zheng Yanqing left Luoyang.

Speaking of which, he is now a countryman, and the hustle and bustle of Luoyang City does not attract him to be nostalgic, but it is the bamboo garden under Longmen Mountain, which always makes it difficult for him to give up. The afternoon sun is warm, and the late autumn wind brings a little coolness. He rode on the back of a green donkey and walked leisurely to the bamboo garden, only to see that in the countryside, it was already depressed.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built Xinluocheng and excavated the Grand Canal, which is indeed a good thing.

But it cannot be denied that he has largely exhausted the people. At the beginning of the Great Cause, there were almost 200,000 households under the rule of Yin in Henan, with a population of nearly one million. However, in just three years, some areas are already underpopulated.

In the bustling city of Luoyang, of course, this situation will not be found.

But when you walk out of Luoyang and look at the land that began to be barren, you can feel how Emperor Yang of Sui is overdrawing the people's power of the Great Sui Dynasty.

It can't be said that he is a bad person, it can only be said that Yang Guang belongs to the kind of monarch who is extremely idealistic.

Such a monarch will often turn a good thing that benefits the country and the people into a bad thing that costs the people and money. For no other reason, they are too idealistic, too arrogant. Before he died, Emperor Yang of Sui still patted his neck and said: Who can take a good head? Isn't that the kind of mentality that is?

Yan Qing sighed in his heart, and his heel lightly knocked the green donkey's belly, and the green donkey immediately sped up...... When they returned to the bamboo garden, the three old men were resting in the bamboo building.

I didn't get a good night's rest last night, but now I'm finally settled.

Yan Qing handed over the green donkey to Mao Wang and walked towards his residence. Before he could walk into the bamboo building, he saw Mao Xiaonian walking out, followed by four eyes and a thin waist.

"Young master, Gongzi Dou has been waiting for you upstairs for almost a day."

"Oh?"

"He didn't seem to be in a good mood, he read upstairs after he came, and he didn't come down for lunch."

Yanqing nodded, "Okay, I see!" ”

As he spoke, he squatted down, and saw his thin waist and four eyes running over happily, and suddenly jumped into Zheng Yanqing's arms.

"You help prepare dinner, grandpa, they may wake up in a while."

Mao Xiaonian responded and trotted away.

Yan Qing walked up to the bamboo building with two little mastiffs in his arms, and saw that Dou Fengjie was stunned upstairs. Although he had a book in his hand, he didn't know if he took it backwards. He stared blankly at the bamboo outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

Putting the little mastiff on the couch, Zheng Yanqing walked over and pulled the book in Dou Fengjie's hand.

"Ah, Yanqing, you're back!"

"What are you doing?"

Dou Fengjie's face flushed, and he quickly shook his head and said, "How can I be in a daze?" ”

"The book was taken upside down, and he said that he was not in a daze...... Even Xiao Nian can see that you have something on your mind, say, what is it? ”

Dou Fengjie looked tangled, and he stopped talking.

This guy is always like this, the more he pushes his words, the more he can't speak.

So Zheng Yanqing didn't rush and put the books back on the shelves. Then he moved out the tea stove and tea kettle from behind the door, put the tea mill in the middle, took out the tea leaves, and grinded them very carefully. It's like Dou Fengjie, who is not in the house at all.

"Fengjie, go downstairs and bring up the water, and there is also bamboo charcoal."

"Oh!"

Dou Fengjie was like an obedient child, stood up and walked downstairs. After taking two steps, he turned back and handed a letter to Zheng Yanqing, "Uncle asked me to hand over this letter to you." ”

"Whose letter?"

"I don't know ......"

Zheng Yanqing put down the tea mill and took the letter. Glancing at it, the envelope was blank and there was no handwriting.

I opened the envelope and shook off the letter.

It doesn't matter if Zheng Yanqing doesn't look at it, but he can't help but shake his body when he looks at it.

The handwriting on the letter is all too familiar, and it is from Li Ji's handwriting. Since Li Ji left, he has not been in contact with Yanqing. Yan Qing also only heard that Li Ji went to Xiazhou, but it was not clear what the specific place was.

"Words and Celebrations" ......"

As always, the handwriting was vigorous, and Zheng Yanqing looked at the letter seriously. Dou Fengjie walked up from the spring water left behind carrying a bag of bamboo charcoal and a bucket of spring water from Longmen Mountain. He didn't speak, silently lit the tea stove with a fire breaker, and then poured water into the tea kettle. pulled the tea mill to him and gently grinded the tea, without disturbing Zheng Yanqing to read the letter.

For three years, he has memorized the process of sencha by heart.

Zheng Yanqing read the letter and let out a long breath. The main content of the letter was to inquire about his studies and to tell him that a teacher had been selected for him. And the choice of this teacher made Zheng Yanqing feel very surprised.

Eldest Sun Sheng?

Li Ji was able to invite Changsun Sheng to be his teacher? This energy ...... It's too big, isn't it?

If the person invited by Li Ji was any famous person in the future, even if it was like Ouyang Xun and others, he would not be so shocked.

However, he invited Changsun Sheng!

Changsun Sheng: Who is that? Since the opening of the emperor, there have been a number of famous generals in the Great Sui Dynasty, especially in the struggle against the Turks, there are shadows left by Changsun Sheng almost everywhere. Speaking of which, there were many famous generals during the Kaihuang period. Not to mention it from afar, let's just say that Yang Su, who just died, and He Ruobi, who was beheaded, are all top-notch masters. And compared with these people, Changsun Sheng is not inferior at all. It is even said that he is more resourceful and good at fighting than He Ruobi Yang Su.

Li Ji said in his heart: Changsun Sheng accompanied the emperor to visit Yulin this time, but he didn't expect that after Yang Guang sent a note to the Turkic Khan, the old disease suddenly recurred. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had issued an edict asking Changsun Sheng to serve as the Taishou of Huaiyang after returning to Luoyang, but due to the onset of this old disease, he had to suspend his appointment. The eldest grandson Sheng will return to Luoyang to recuperate and pay homage to the post of General Youxiaowei. The main responsibility of the right Xiaowei is to defend the peace of the Heluo region, which means that Changsun Sheng will stay in Luoyang from now on.

As for how to convince Changsun Sheng, Li Ji did not elaborate.

Zheng Yanqing was extremely stunned, holding the letter for a long time and unable to say a word. The energy of this teacher is too great!

For Changsun Sheng, Yan Qing still has a good impression.

Not only because this general of the Right Xiaowei is usually low-key, but also because he has made outstanding achievements in fighting the Turks.

The reason why he has a good impression is completely because when Ning Changzhen slaughtered Yanjia Village, he mentioned the name of Changsun Sheng.

What is Yanqing missing now?

He is not short of fame, what he lacks is a strong background.

The Zheng family is in a state of decline, An Yuantang is on the wrong team again, Zheng Dashi is sick in bed, and Zheng Renji's future is bleak.

Although the Dou family is strong, there is no legitimate identity to stand up to help him.

In contrast, Changsun Sheng is particularly suitable. First, he was deeply relied on by Emperor Yang of Sui, and he could entrust the entire Heluo to Changsun Sheng, which was not a treatment that ordinary people could enjoy; Second, although Changsun Sheng's background is not as good as the Dou family, it is precisely because of this that he will not be paid attention to by too many people.

For example, now the Dou family has come forward and said that they want to accept Yanqing as a disciple.

Then in the eyes of the emperor, or among the various gate valve families, there will be a reverie, and the Dou family and the Zheng family have joined forces...... This is something that the major families and even the emperor absolutely cannot bear. After all, the resurgence of a big family is bound to mean that the interests that were divided by other families in the past must be returned.

That action is too big, and the impact is too great, it will make Zheng Yanqing be swept into the whirlpool all of a sudden, and there will not even be bones left.

Therefore, after thinking about it, only Changsun Sheng is the most suitable.

The teacher can be said to have exhausted his calculations for himself. It is necessary not only to let Zheng Yanqing have a bright future, but also to make him stable and stable.

Yan Qing put away the letter, sat for a while, and finally stabilized his mind.

"Yanqing, I'm leaving!"

Dou Fengjie suddenly spoke, and his voice was very soft.

Zheng Yanqing was stunned, turned his head to look at him, and saw that he had already fried tea and divided a bowl of tea soup for him.

"Okay, then I'll see you another day."

Dou Fengjie said: "No, I mean, I'm leaving Luoyang." ”

"Leaving Luoyang? Where to? ”

"Daddy asked me at noon if I wanted to go to Ziyang with him."

Zheng Yanqing suddenly realized, it turned out that Dou Liang had figured it out and wanted to take Dou Fengjie with him. That's a good thing! It seems that his words last night were not in vain. Dou Rail began to pay attention to Dou Fengjie, maybe the father and son together can make Dou Fengjie no longer be as cowardly as before. And, isn't that exactly what he wants?

"Fengjie, you should be happy, didn't you tell me yesterday that you want to be with your father?"

Dou Feng nodded, "I was really happy at first, but then I ......."

"What's wrong?"

"If I go to Ziyang, I won't be able to play with you anymore!"

Dou Fengjie raised his head, looked at Zheng Yanqing, his eyes were red, and said softly: "I want to be with my father, but I don't want to be separated from you." I've grown so big, and I've only had you as a friend. If I go to Ziyang, I don't know anyone, and I will miss you. ”

This guy ...... Zheng Yanqing was a little helpless, but he had to be moved.

He stood up, then sat down next to Dou Fengjie again, stretched out his hand to put his arm around his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other...... Fengjie, you don't want to be like this. Think about your father, he works hard alone in Bashan Shushui, why don't you want you to be by his side? This time he finally agreed to take you there, and you should be happy.

You take good care of your father in Ziyang, maybe in a few years, you and your father will come back.

Crying, crying, what do you want to look like? A manly man, when he is determined to be in all directions, living in a corner, it is difficult to become an atmosphere. ”

"But, I can't bear you!"

"Hahaha, silly boy, it's not a parting of life and death. Let's say we are separated today, just for the reunion in the future. At that time, you and I will be grown up, and you can be like adults, drinking and talking happily, and saying goodbye to each other, isn't it a great joy in life? ”

"Really?"

Dou Fengjie couldn't help but ask: "Then when the time comes, will we still be good friends like now?" ”

"Of course, do you remember? When we were in the schoolhouse, we said that we would be good friends for life! ”

Dou Fengjie's eyes widened, looked at Zheng Yanqing, and nodded vigorously.

Yan Qing hugged him for a while, then got up and sat next to the bookcase, thought about it, and wrote: Chengque Fu Sanqin, wind and smoke look at Wujin. Parting with you is the same as ...... Far Travelers. There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor. Inaction is on the wrong path, and the children are stained with scarves.

This is Wang Wei, one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, "Send Du Shaofu to Shuzhou".

Among them, the sentence 'parting with the king, the same eunuch traveler' seems to be inappropriate for both Yanqing and Dou Fengjie.

However, they are all people who are far from home.

Dou Fengjie is far away from his hometown in Luoyang, and for Zheng Yanqing, the significance of this 'long trip' is even more far-reaching.

After writing it, he also wrote the name of "Sending Dou Fengjie to Shuzhou" on it.

"Put it away, don't let people know it's something I wrote. If you are lonely, think about it, far away in Luoyang, you still have a friend who is missing you. ”

This sentence made Dou Fengjie's tears flow down.

He nodded vigorously, and after drying the ink, he carefully folded it and placed it in his arms.

After Zheng Yanqing's persuasion, Dou Fengjie's mood seemed to be much more cheerful all of a sudden. Yan Qing wrote a reply letter to Li Ji, telling him about his life in Luoyang in the past few years.

Dou Fengjie played with his thin waist and four eyes.

When it was almost dark, the Dou family sent a vehicle, and Dou Fengjie reluctantly said goodbye to Zheng Yanqing.

He will leave Luoyang the day after tomorrow, and there are still many things to do in the past two days, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come to the bamboo garden to play again.

Yanqing put him in the carriage and sent him all the way out of the bamboo forest.

In the twilight of the slanting sun, watching the carriage gradually move away, an inexplicable sense of emptiness suddenly arose in my heart.

In the past, when Dou Fengjie came to play with him every day, he felt tired of listening to it. After all, Yan Qing's soul is dozens of years old, and it will be very comfortable for him to always play some children's tricks with children. However, when another friend left from his side, Yan Qing finally understood: although he had this sincere thought, he unconsciously began to integrate into this society.

From the very beginning of Duoduo, to the later Du Ruhui, and then to today's Dou Fengjie...... He has left his own mark in this era.

This imprint may be from the day he stood up for Dou Fengjie, and he thought he was a part of this era.

Joys and sorrows, sunny and sunny, this is not about age, it is all a process of growth.

Yan Qing thought that he could look at these things very easily, but he didn't know until the end of the day that he couldn't do it!

"Yanqing, it's time to eat!"

Zheng Shi'an's voice came into Zheng Yanqing's ears at this time.

Suddenly, he shuddered, and turned around with a look of shock in his eyes.

Yan Qing ran to the bamboo building in three steps and two steps, "Grandpa, do you say it again?" ”

Zheng Shi'an just woke up, looked at Zheng Yanqing in a daze, and asked suspiciously, "What do you say again?" What are you talking about? ”

"No, no, no!"

Zheng Yanqing shook his head again and again, "Grandpa, you take what you just said, say it again, and use that tone just now!" ”

Zheng Shi'an looked confused, and didn't understand what tricks Zheng Yanqing was playing.

He thought for a moment, "I just said, Yanqing, it's time to eat!" ”

That's the voice, that's the voice!

Zheng Yanqing finally remembered what strange the husky he saw in Luopu Bookstore.

Sound...... When the husky stopped Yan Qing and Pei Xingyan from fighting, his tone was a little high-pitched and sharp, a bit like the kind of hissing roar that was choked by the neck and then made. It stands to reason that it is impossible for normal people to make such a voice, only, only, only when they have lost their reproductive function, just like people like Zheng Shi'an, or only special people like eunuchs, once they speak loudly, there will be that kind of high-pitched and sharp voice!

Could it be that the husky is a eunuch?
