Walking out of the plum garden, Xu Mingyuan glanced back at Su Yimeng who was standing at the door, was silent for a while, and continued to walk out.

Zhou Binjie and Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui, who were flushed red, walked out of a small building with a smile, and originally wanted to tease Xu Mingyuan for a few words, but when they saw Xu Mingyuan's expression, they didn't say anything.

The three of them picked a high platform, and there were no Qingqi people on the side, and they drank a lot of wine. Xu Mingyuan is going to leave in three days, and this wine can be regarded as a parting wine.

Xu Mingyuan, who was a little drunk, returned to Micang Mountain, sat on the bluestone and chattered a lot with Qing Xuannian, who was standing on the side and watching the stars.

Su Yimeng's experience also evoked some things in his heart, such as his father and mother who he had never seen before, and he had no identity to belong to.

Qing Xuan stood aside and looked at Xu Mingyuan quietly, but it was rare that he didn't say anything to refute, until Xu Mingyuan fell asleep leaning on the pine, then he sighed lightly, and picked up Xu Mingyuan with one hand and entered the room.

……

Three days later, in the main hall of the Taoist temple, Xu Mingyuan carried a bamboo box, looked at Qingxuan with a sincere face and said: "Master, why do you bother to push the apprentice to the gold cave in Chang'an that eats people and does not spit out bones, the apprentice is still on this mountain to accompany your old man, I am gone, you don't even have a partner to talk to." ”

"Who else in this world can eat your little slippery head, you are not here, and you are happy to be idle for your teacher." Qingxuan took a sip of wine with a wine gourd and said leisurely.

Xu Mingyuan was unwilling, his complexion changed, and he looked at Qingxuan with a bitter face: "Chang'an is a long way away, and the apprentice has never gone out alone, where do you know how to go, I am afraid that I will be killed by a thief in the middle of the road, and I will never see the master again." ”

"Xiao Huang can recognize the way to Chang'an, you can lie in the car and it can also pull you to Chang'an. Also, you have entered the third grade, if ordinary little thieves can still seek your wealth and harm your life, then you don't have to say that you were taught by the teacher. Qingxuan stretched out his hand to pick up the green frost hanging on the wall and threw it at Xu Mingyuan, pouting and saying.

Xu Mingyuan hurriedly hugged the long sword, and said with some pity: "Master, this way to the top of the store must be indispensable, when you arrive in Chang'an, it will definitely cost you money, Chang'an is not Shuzhou, do you see if you will return half of the silver you took from me." ”

"There is a letter here, you take it to the old man Qin, there is an address on the envelope, and you can live with him when you get to Chang'an. But that old man has a very tricky temperament, and if he is willing to give the Bai family boy a second word, you don't have to have too much hope. Qing Xuan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Mingyuan.

Xu Mingyuan took the envelope and just wanted to speak, Qing Xuan had already waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the silver in your box is enough for you to go to Chang'an, don't think I don't know that you still hide a few taels of silver somewhere else." Also, didn't I give you a jade plate last time, it's worth it, don't shake it in front of people if you have nothing to do, the province is remembered by someone who cares. ”

Xu Mingyuan reached into his arms and took out the jade plate, which could make the master, who had always regarded money as nothing, say that it was valuable, and it must be a real treasure. However, Xu Mingyuan, a beautiful jade with a better texture than this, had seen it, and he really couldn't see what was special about this jade plate, and he was a little puzzled: "Master, what is the origin of this jade plate?" ”

Qing Xuan shook his head and said, "It's not a small source, anyway, ordinary people can't afford to bid." ”

"No, this is the legendary Cloud Machine Order." Xu Mingyuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Qingxuan with some expectation and said.

"You can take it and try it out." Qingxuan took a sip of wine and said slowly.

"I don't want to be hacked to death as soon as I get off the mountain." Xu Mingyuan put the jade plate back into his arms, inserted the long sword in his hand into the bamboo box, looked at Qing Xuan and said seriously: "Master, your old man takes care of himself." ”

Qing Xuan kicked over and said with a smile: "Roll the calf, if you can't get the champion, don't come back to see me." ”

Xu Mingyuan lightly avoided Qingxuan's kick and ran towards the outside of the hall, laughing loudly as he ran: "Old guy, live well, wait for me to be a big official and take you to Chang'an to enjoy happiness." ”

Qing Xuan shook his head with a smile, slowly walked out of the main hall, stood on the edge of the mountain, looked at the figure that appeared and disappeared between the paths, and muttered to himself: "The same character as his father...... What about a temperament......"

A white crane fluttered and landed in front of the Taoist temple, Qingxuan walked over, untied the bamboo tube that the white crane had memorized at his feet, poured out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube, and looked down.

Now it is the golden autumn of October, and the red maple in Micang Mountain is like fire, which is really intoxicating. The trail passes through the maple forest, full of red leaves, and the autumn breeze blows, so uncomfortable. Xu Mingyuan took a deep breath, shook his head with a smile, and walked briskly towards the bottom of the mountain.

Although half of the hidden silver was stolen by the master, Xu Mingyuan was quite acceptable, after all, Lao Huang was taken away by himself, if it weren't for the fact that Zhou Binjie would often come to the mountain now, he really didn't feel at ease to go to Chang'an.

Xu Mingyuan put the donkey cart on Lao Huang's back, put the bamboo box on the wheel, led the donkey cart to the post road, gently stroked its head, looked at the northeast direction and sighed lightly: "Lao Huang, Lao Huang, let's go to Chang'an, the master said that you know the way to Chang'an, people say that Lao Ma knows the way, Lao Huang, you have to take me well, don't take me to the ditch." ”

"Everyone in Shuzhou City says that Chang'an is good, and I don't know if the girls in Chang'an are really like the storyteller Song said, all of them are like flowers and jade, and they have competed in the fairies."

"Uh-huh!" The yellow donkey raised his head and barked, as if in answer to him.

Xu Mingyuan smiled, gently pulled the reins, and let Lao Huang walk in the direction of Shuzhou City.

To go to Chang'an, you have to go out from the north gate, there is a post road to go, otherwise you have to go around a big circle, so Xu Mingyuan also has to enter Shuzhou City first, and then go out from the North City.

Xu Mingyuan grew up in Shuzhou City, I'm afraid that no one in Shuzhou City knows more people than him, he grew up eating hundreds of meals, and was loved by everyone. He is not a beggar, and the people of Shuzhou City are not charity to him, but really pity and love.

The news that Xu Mingyuan knew Yuan had already spread all over Shuzhou City, and no one thought that this pitiful little Taoist priest would be able to take the lead of the literati in Shuzhou, but many people were still really happy for him.

The news that Xu Mingyuan set off for Chang'an today spread from someone's mouth, and there were already a lot of people crowded at the gate of Beicheng, and the temple fair was about to be more lively.

Today's Xu Mingyuan wore a blue and white half-old robe, sat on the wheel, smiled and greeted several people in the past, and when he went out, low-key is the king. Of course, the more important reason is that he really doesn't have any new clothes, and the little silver on his body has to be used as travel expenses, and buying a new dress can be worth several meals.

When the donkey cart drove to the north city gate, Xu Mingyuan was also frightened by the scene in front of him, the black pressure was full of people, and I don't know who shouted: "Mingyuan is here!" The crowd all gathered around and completely blocked the avenue at the north gate.

The girls on Fengming Street don't have to pick up customers during the day, today I heard that Xu Mingyuan is going to Chang'an, anyway, the north city gate is not far away, and many girls get up early to come here, wanting to see how handsome the scholar who can fascinate Su Yimeng is.

Of course, the most are those aunts and aunts, and there are also some uncles, many of whom have watched Xu Mingyuan grow up, and I heard that Xu Mingyuan is going to Chang'an, just like his own children are going to travel far away, and they all bring some dry food and hard-boiled eggs to give them away.

Xu Mingyuan's heart warmed, and he smiled and called the aunts and aunts next to the donkey cart, took the baked cakes and hard-boiled eggs they handed over, and put them in the carriage.

However, there are too many people coming, Xu Mingyuan only needs one person, even if the dry food can be put for a few days, he can't finish it, so he also smiled and said loudly: "Uncles and aunts, everyone's kindness Mingyuan knows, but there is already a lot of dry food, I'm afraid that Lao Huang won't be able to pull it, so everyone else take the rest back, and Mingyuan has received it." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard Xu Mingyuan's words, but there were still many aunts who stuffed two eggs into the car window, and those who stuffed them in were all proud, as if they had done something that they couldn't even do.

"Mingyuan, your kid just went to Chang'an, and my girl still said that if you don't marry, you won't eat today." A tall and sturdy lady complained, but there was still a smile on her face.

"Aunt Wang, Qing'er is only six years old, and most of that little girl doesn't want to eat, so she uses me as an excuse." Xu Mingyuan looked at the eldest lady and couldn't laugh.

The crowd burst into laughter when they heard this.

From time to time, the eldest lady wiped her tears and stepped forward to say a few words, most likely to tell him to be careful on the road and remember to eat and dress warmly. Xu Mingyuan often goes far away, but this time is different, maybe it will be several years after he leaves.

The donkey cart was hugged by the crowd and walked towards the north gate like a turtle, Liu Sanniang and Guo Cailing were escorted by Zhou Binjie and squeezed to the front, and Bai Lingxuan also came. Guo Cailing's eyes were already red, but she couldn't hold back her tears and looked at Xu Mingyuan with her mouth pursed.

Liu Sanniang handed a coarse cloth package to Xu Mingyuan, and said with a pleased smile: "Mingyuan, my aunt knows that you will have a future, and you have to live an upright life when you go to Chang'an. Auntie doesn't have anything good to give you, these cloth shoes can be worn on weekdays. ”

Xu Mingyuan took the package with a smile, reached out and rubbed Guo Cailing's hair, nodded and said, "Auntie, I remember it." ”

Bai Lingxuan handed over a purple package in her hand, looked at Xu Mingyuan with a smile and said, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't send it, you know who sent it." ”

Xu Mingyuan took the package, it should be a piece of clothing when he touched it, his eyes swept through the crowd, but he didn't see Zeng Qingyi's figure, thinking of what the **** said, he shook his head with a smile.

"Borrow it! Borrow a ......" At this moment, a crisp voice sounded outside the crowd, two figures came in from outside the crowd, Ling'er pulled Su Yimeng to the donkey cart, and suddenly became the focus of attention.

"Xu Gongzi, Sister Yimeng also has something to give you, and besides, you haven't written the words you promised to write for me last time." Ling'er took a breath, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said.

was watched by everyone, and most of them were aunts and aunts looking at their daughters-in-law, and Su Yimeng's face was also slightly red. However, she didn't have stage fright, handed the blue cloth package in her hand to Xu Mingyuan, and said with a smile: "According to the dream, I wish the son a smooth journey." ”

"Miss Su has a heart." Xu Mingyuan took the package and started softly, it should also be a set of clothes.

Su Yimeng was slightly blessed, took Ling'er's hand and walked out of the crowd.

Ling'er still turned her head to look at Xu Mingyuan and said, "Young Master Xu, my words ......"

"The words have been written, in the view, let your young master bring it to you later." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Really? Then thank you, Childe. Ling'er said happily, and then took Su Yimeng's arm and walked out of the crowd.

Seeing that everyone had almost said it, Zhou Binjie stepped forward, leaned over his head and teased softly: "Brother Yuan, Miss Su is tempted by you, don't worry, with me for a day, no one can touch her." ”

Xu Mingyuan stretched out his leg and kicked Zhou Binjie with a smile, but he flexibly avoided it, took two steps back, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, you can rest assured that you can go to Chang'an, Dao Chief, they have me." ”

Xu Mingyuan nodded with a smile, then stood up on the wheel, looked around, looked straight, put his fists together, and said loudly: "Old and young masters, aunts and aunts, I won't say anything about it." If I don't take the top prize and let the world know that there is such a good place as Shuzhou, I won't come back. ”

Xu Mingyuan, who has clear eyebrows, makes such a fist and palm, adding a bit of heroism, and the words he says are even louder and moving.

The soldiers guarding the city were the first to shout hello, and the onlookers also shouted in unison, and the girl in the Qinglou who was standing on the side and watching looked at Xu Mingyuan with some admiration. The aunts and ladies wiped their tears and smiled.

Su Yimeng, who had not yet gone far from the crowd, looked at Xu Mingyuan blankly, with only blessings in his eyes.

When the carriage reached the city gates, the crowd spread out a path so that the donkey cart could just pass.

Xu Mingyuan stood on the wheel, did not look back, stretched out his hand and waved behind his back, and whispered to Lao Huang: "Go, Lao Huang, let's go to Chang'an!" ”

The donkey cart gradually moved away, the crowd gradually dispersed, no one noticed, above the north gate tower, a shadow stood at the head of the city, looking at the direction of the post road, and did not move for a long time.

After a long time, I vaguely heard a few words: "Chang'an, Chang'an...... Have a nice trip......"

===== the first volume is over, and a single chapter is sent later, which is a bit of nonsense, and you can read it if you want to see it.
