Chapter 45: On the way to Luoyang
Bian Su asked Chen Jing a lot of expenses, but in addition to the cost of travel, there was also the need to pay a fixed amount for the purchase of herbs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
So Chen Jing himself can really not spend a lot.
Fortunately, there is a carriage in Miaoshou Hall for Chen Jing to travel, although there is not much money to spend, but at least he will not be too tired along the way.
Chen Jing drove the carriage to Luoyang alone, and if he couldn't get into the city that night, he would light torches around him and lie down in the carriage to rest, and after walking like this for two days, he would have walked half the way.
In the evening, Chen Jing couldn't rush into the city, but there was a village nearby, and there was cooking smoke burning over the village, looking from a distance, it looked like a very beautiful landscape painting.
Seeing this, Chen Jing smiled lightly, couldn't help but whip it, and then quickly rushed to the village.
Two days ago, he slept in a carriage, he slept uncomfortably, and he ate dry and hard things, but tonight he finally met someone, and he could spend the night.
The carriage ran over, and soon came to the entrance of the village, which is not a particularly large village, there is a stone tablet at the head of the village, on which are written three big characters of Xiangjia Village, at this time it is sunset, many villagers from the field carrying hoes to rush home, seeing Chen Jing driving the carriage coming, they are all curious, and can't help but look back.
Chen Jing got closer, and an old man stopped and asked Chen Jing, "Is Xiao Langjun looking for someone?" ”
Chen Jingdao: "I'm going to Luoyang City, but it's getting late today, and I can't catch up with the town in front of me, so I wonder if I can spend a night here?" ”
The old man saw that Chen Jing was going to spend the night, and said: "It turned out to be a nightstay, I am the village chief here, everyone calls me Uncle Xiang, and other families have no room to borrow from you, if you don't dislike it, it's better to go to my house." ”
Xiangjia Village is not particularly wealthy, and no one will have an empty house if they want to come, Chen Jing saw Xiang Bo's invitation, and was immediately overjoyed, and then followed Xiang Bo to his house.
Although he was the head of the village, his home was only a small courtyard, and there was no one else in the house except him and his wife.
"Uncle Xiang, where is Ling Lang?"
Chen Jing was very curious, and couldn't help but ask, Xiang Bo smiled: "My son split up after he got married, and now he lives by himself in the east of the village, and he will come to see us when he is fine, otherwise, Xiaolangjun, you don't have a place to live." ”
Chen Jing sighed, and immediately understood that he wanted Uncle Xiang to live in his son's previous room.
After parking the carriage, Xiang Bo's lady brought a few meals, the meals were very ordinary, they were all commonplace, and the taste was not as good as that of his lady Qin Wan, but he was on the way, and he was a guest, and Chen Jing was not particular.
After eating and drinking like this, Uncle Xiang had already tidied up Chen Jing's room, Chen Jing was too sleepy, and after chatting with Uncle Xiang for a few words, he went to rest, after all, he had to go tomorrow.
Not long after he lay down, he was in a semi-hazy state, but just when he was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden sound outside, Chen Jing frowned slightly, and looked up at the window, at this time the night was dark, how could there be a sound?
Thinking that his carriage was still outside, Chen Jingqiang sat up sleepily.
Pushing the door out, I saw that there were people walking around the entire Xiangjia Village, and one of them also came to Xiang Bo's house to find Xiang Bo, and it seemed that Xiang Bo was also preparing to go out, Chen Jing was curious, what could happen in the small village?
"Uncle Xiang, but what happened?"
Seeing that it was Chen Jing, Xiang Bo apologized slightly, and said: "You are already very sleepy, I never thought that there was a happy event in my village, but I woke you up again, I really don't want to go." ”
Hearing that it was a happy event, Chen Jingluoan said: "It's okay, I don't know what kind of happy event it is?" ”
"The people in our village are not prosperous enough, so if anyone adds Ding, it will be a happy event for our whole village, and the daughter-in-law of Xiang Long in our village gave birth to a big fat boy, and we will all go to see it."
In ancient times, the concept of family was heavy, and a village had a surname, which was no different from a family, and whether a village could continue depends on whether the people of the village were prosperous, so it is reasonable to say that having children is a big deal for a village.
After hearing this, Chen Jing smiled and said, "I see, I can't sleep anyway, so let's go and have a good time." ”
"It's good, it's good."
Xiang Bo said, and took Chen Jing to Xiang Long's house, and on the way, he had to meet other people in Xiangjia Village, these people were either men or women, or threes and threes, all talking and laughing.
"I heard that Xiang Long's daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, weighing seven pounds."
"Look at this weight, when you grow up, you must be as burly as Xiang Long."
"Hey, although Xiang Long is burly, but compared to his younger brother, Xiang Long is already very strong and tall in our village, his younger brother is even taller than him......"
These people talked about the shortcomings of Xiang Long's family, Chen Jing listened and walked, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh, the people in the village were simple, and they didn't mean to say anything, but when Chen Jing heard the words of those people, he suddenly remembered some more evil thoughts.
That Xiang Long's son weighed seven pounds as soon as he was born, if someone said that he was as strong as his uncle Xiang Hu, it would be interesting, I have to admit that Chen Jing was evil.
Chen Jing chuckled, Xiang Boton was curious, and asked, "Why is Gongzi Chen laughing?" ”
Chen Jing dared to say his thoughts, pondered for a while, and said: "Hearing those people just now say that Xiang Hu is tall, I can't help but be curious, thinking about what such a tall person can look like, so I laughed." ”
Hearing this, Xiang Bo pursed his lips: "What's so funny about this." ”
"Just curious."
Xiang Bo shrugged, didn't say anything more to Chen Jing, and after speeding up his pace, it didn't take long to come to Xiang Long's house, but when they went, there were already a lot of villagers inside, and they were talking to Xiang Long's house one by one, which was even more lively than during the day.
I don't know who shouted that Xiang Bo was coming, the crowd suddenly gave way, Chen Jing followed in, and then saw a man outside the house excitedly accepting everyone's blessings, and next to the man, a tall and burly man looked slightly tight, although he also squeezed out a smile to everyone from time to time, but he will soon regain his calm.
Chen Jing is very curious about this person, his sister-in-law has given birth to a child, why is he unhappy, no one else is happy, but looking at his appearance, he will squeeze out a smile from time to time, it shouldn't be unhappy, right?
Thinking like this, Chen Jingcai paid attention to the height of this Xiang Hu, he was a head taller than his eldest brother, a head taller than himself and a neck, if he stood with him, he could only reach his shoulders.
It is the first time that Chen Jing has seen such a tall person, and it is even more rare to see such a tall and burly person.
But why is he unhappy?
