Chapter Forty-Seven: The First Arrival in Beijing
Just when Yang Chen was puzzled, there were also a few people in the open space in the Shaoxing Wei military camp who were puzzled, they didn't understand why Yang Xiaoqi left quietly? Leave only a simple letter that could not be simpler.
There were only a few sentences on the letter, "Brothers, I went from the capital, believe me, we are not far from each other, I am waiting for you in the capital!" ”
Fang Jinyong read it several times, and read it several times, he was reluctant to fold the letter and put it in his arms, looked at the sky with his back hand, and sighed,
"Brother Yang is going to the future, we believe in you! We'll see you again soon! ”
The rest of the rammers squatted on the ground and grinned, as if they were looking for something, but in vain, they bowed their heads and sighed one by one, looking lonely.
Yang Chen is very afraid of parting, others can find a suitable way, but he is helpless against his brothers who were born and died together, he is afraid of tears, and does not want them to see his emotional and even fragile side, which seems to have become the biggest weakness in his later life.
Yang Chen was looking at Xiao Chonggui's embarrassed smirk blankly at this time, and his heart was already like a mirror, "This rough man's acting skills are too poor, and I will have the opportunity to let the master popularize it for you in the future." ”
"Oh, you're full, ready to go!"
Yang Chen suddenly got up and prepared to continue his journey, he didn't want to provoke it, so he accepted his father-in-law's kindness. Looking at his appearance, Yang Chen knew that he must have received a military order, although this military order was not formal, but it had always been a military order, if he sent them back, there must be no good fruit to eat.
As Yang Chen got up, the guards also got up, their movements were uniform, one by one holding the handle of the knife, looking nervous, looking around, only Xiao Chonggui sat awkwardly but didn't dare to look at Yang Chen, looking anxious.
Yang Chen didn't dare to move anymore, if he moved again, these people might be cleared immediately. He tried to ask the man who was clearly the leader, but found that he had stuck his head under the table like an ostrich.
"I said everyone, Xiaosheng is about to set off on the road, please let me let me, borrow it, hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb your acting......"
The soldiers kept the formation and quietly made way for Yang Chen, Yang Chen just walked a few steps but found that he was still under their escort, these soldiers followed Yang Chen out of the tea shed and scattered to make a large space, this space was circular, and Yang Chen was in the middle.
The soldiers no longer hold the hilt of the sword, but draw the knife directly in their hand. One by one, they had all the miscellaneous clothes that they had bought out of nowhere, and some of them had sharp weapons in their hands, and those who didn't know thought that the thieves were going to rob Yang Chen.
Xiao Chonggui also came out at this time, jumping up and down in a hurry, scratching his ears and cheeks.
"What for? Yes? What for? I can't sit still when I'm just full, just do the activities, don't disturb the people, come and come, let's disperse. ”
"This little brother, you go yours, don't be afraid, we drank tea and drank a little bit to support the activity, disturbed, sorry, embarrassed ......"
“……”
Yang Chen hurriedly squeezed out of the "encirclement", led the horse and drove away, leaving Xiao Chonggui squatting in front of the tea stall sighing vigorously, worried about the errand.
"You rammers, the adults are secretly protecting your uncle, you see, is this secret? Is this darkness? You guys are robbing! ”
"What are you still standing for? Hurry up and get on the horse to chase your uncle, are you stupid? ”
The soldiers were all circled at this time, looking at each other at a loss, and the angry Xiao Chonggui rushed into them and kicked them one by one.
In the following days, Yang Chen was very distressed, although he rode alone on the surface, but in fact, there was a group of "wet nurses" to take care of him. The free and unrestrained plan came to naught, and he was only secretly taken care of by this group of "wet nurses" who were very aware of the current affairs.
If Yang Chen ran fast, he would wait for them for a while, until he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he would smile and continue to hurry.
Xiao Chonggui has lost a lot of weight these days, his eyes are black, his beard is unshaven, his skin is dry, and his hair is yellow.
Jingshi was looking at it from afar, but Yang Chen couldn't be happy, the war horse under his crotch couldn't hold it anymore, and he couldn't pump it on the spot. He had no choice but to mount the old horse, which he hadn't even looked at along the way, staggering, and swaying towards Jingshi.
With envy in his eyes, he watched the little daughter-in-law who returned to her parents' house riding a little donkey to overtake the car, Yang Chen clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and the old horse purred baldly and didn't pay attention to him, still pulling his arrogant head and walking leisurely.
There was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Yang Chen looked back to see that the "wet nurses" had caught up. The group of "wet nurses" deliberately slowed down beside Yang Chen, and the leader said to Yang Chen with a little embarrassment.
"This little brother, what's wrong with your horse? I happen to have a spare transfer with you here. ”
"Don't pretend, it's all the way, aren't you tired?"
Yang Chen looked at Xiao Chonggui, who was in reduced size, and couldn't bear to torture him anymore, Xiao Chonggui's eyes were wet when he heard this, and he knew that the matter had been picked out for no reason, and this unfortunate task was finally over, and he replied to Yang Chen with an excited and a little vicissitudes of life.
"Uncle, it's almost here, God has opened his eyes!"
“……”
"Haven't asked for your name yet?"
"Xiao Chonggui!"
"I remember you!"
"Don't, you'd better forget about me, it's too tiring to follow you......"
“……”
Yang Chen changed horses and continued to hurry, Xiao Chonggui also cheered up and continued to serve as a guard, although he was recognized, he always had to complete the task, as the saying goes, send the Buddha to the west, how can you send Yang Chen, the old fayette, to the place!
One sunny afternoon, Yang Chen finally arrived, and Yang Chen stood outside Chaoyang Gate to watch. The weather in the north is still a little cold, and some of the pedestrians on the road have not yet changed their winter clothes, but Yang Chen does not feel cold, because he is already enthusiastic at this time.
Yang Chen didn't have time to take a closer look and sigh at the majesty of the Jingshi, so he checked the road and drove into the city. Before the Beijing test, it was necessary to register with the yamen of the Ministry of War, and Yang Chen didn't know where the place was when he first arrived, but fortunately, there were "wet nurses" to take care of him, and he quickly found the place where he was.
There was also a small episode at the time of registration, not mentioned above, Yang Chen himself is a talented man, he is used to wearing fluttering clothes, and the scarf and Confucian shirt almost made people blow out, they thought that Yang Chen went to the wrong place, and Yang Chen was shy and unusually shy as if he was looking at a monster.
It wasn't until Yang Chen showed off the identity certificate of the Wuju people that they all understood that there was a wave of white-eyed eyes in the yamen led by this civil official, and they all despised Yang Chen's neuropathy.
Yang Chen didn't think so, they all ignored it, do you still want to show your identity as a showman, at that time, it may not be a blank eye, those pretentious and arrogant civil officials still don't dismantle Yang Chen to respect the old master Confucius.
After everything was done, Yang Chen found Xiao Chonggui, and the kindness of the old father-in-law Yang Chen was not in vain, so he "guided" the work with peace of mind, but the tone was very sincere.
"Brother Xiao, you have been tired in the past few days, I have some money here with you, rest well, and find me a place to live by the way."
Yang Chen took out the money bag, carefully pulled it for a long time and found about three or four taels of silver, don't look at the three or four taels of this meagre one, it is almost worth two or three months of silver for a soldier.
"Uncle is polite, then I'm embarrassed to ask for your silver, I have it!"
Xiao Chonggui slapped his swollen face and said embarrassedly, and as he spoke, he tightly touched the slightly bulging money on his waist. Yang Chen also knew that it was not easy for them, so he stuffed them into Xiao Chonggui's hands.
"Besides, these coins are for you, have a good rest and play, after all, the capital has just arrived, and it is good to have a good time to play."
Yang Chen took a large piece of silver in his hand, which made Xiao Chonggui even more embarrassed, embarrassed to swallow and spit, his eyes straight. There are more than a dozen taels of silver in Yang Chen's hand, which is not a small amount, although the top card cannot be called, but everyone can always be happy, which is also the obscurity of playing in Yang Chen's words.
"No, no, no, there are still many places for my uncle to try the silver in Beijing, it's not good for my uncle to break the bank, so let's use it in the right place!"
"Huh, Brother Xiao doesn't have to be polite, you and my own brother, I also came out of the camp, you don't have to see outside!"
Xiao Chonggui had no choice but to take the money and tell everyone to find a place, but Yang Chen separated himself from everyone and walked on the street of Jingshi, maybe there is no bustling city from Zhengyangmen to Zhonggulou Market, but it is also bustling here, and there is no boundless exchange.
Yang Chen felt the warm breath of the capital, and suddenly his eyes lit up, he felt that God favored him, a "bitter man" who changed his life against the sky, and could always try to satisfy some of Yang Chen's little habits, such as meat buns.
The steamed bun shop in the north is also standing on the street, and the guise of expenditure is swinging in the wind to tease Yang Chen's careful liver. The buns are not as delicate as those of the south, but they are a big deal. Squeezed on a rough table with diners, Yang Chen feasted happily, and ate juice dripping with joy.
Most of the diners around were locals, and there were also some pawns-by, who stared at how this scholar who looked like Sven was doing this, the buns in their mouths were tasteless but full of interest in front of them.
Suddenly, there was a noise in front of the steamer next to it, and the diners looked at it, and it might be another strange thing for them to accompany the meal. But Yang Chen is not included in the "audience", he has always eaten wholeheartedly, sticking his head into the bowl like a dog, and has no interest in other things.
The noise intensified and gradually escalated into pulling, pushing and shoving to resort to force, and suddenly a person flew out and hit Yang Chen's table directly, scaring the diners away, but Yang Chen still stood still, eating heartily and chicly.
"I don't have money to eat steamed buns, I don't learn well at a young age, I learn to eat overlord meals!"
There are often plots in overlord meal TV dramas, Yang Chen didn't expect this bloody plot to happen around him. Yang Chen raised his eyes while chewing the buns in his mouth, and saw a child of about fifteen or sixteen years old lying on the table, still eating with a bulging mouth, very determined, very disapproving, Yang Chen's heart suddenly rose with the word admiration.
Yang Chen's mouth was also full of laborious chewing, the child also choked and rolled his eyes, the two looked at each other, during which the child lying on the table also pulled the stool and sat down, the situation was like today's dinner competition.
The shopkeeper came over to continue to teach the child, and when he saw that Yang Chen was in the same situation, he didn't feel puzzled, "Could it be that the two of them are in a gang, they are really unlucky today, and they have to teach them a good lesson, otherwise they will have to bear it in three days." ”
"Oh, you two bastards turned out to be in the same group, I said how to eat the same way!"
Yang Chen was stunned for a moment and suddenly got up to explain, but the food in his mouth was blocked, and with a little effort, a heavenly maiden scattered flowers. The shopkeeper with a juiced face looked at Yang Chen in a daze, and the children next to him couldn't laugh when they wanted to laugh when they saw this situation, and their choked eyes were one after another.
"The guy has a very heavy tone, and he has pork and green onion stuffing, I have to chop you to make buns!"
"No, no, no, shopkeeper, listen to me, I came out here and didn't know him at all!"
"Huh? Is it? ”
The shopkeeper turned his head to look at the child, and the child who had swallowed the food at this time was very clever, and suddenly stood up and bowed to Yang Chen.
"Brother, you said to bring me to eat steamed buns, pay the money quickly, don't let the store misunderstand."
"And say that you are not a gang, thieves, take your life!"
The shopkeeper's weapon rolling pin was about to hit, which frightened Yang Chen and slipped away, and the child also ran behind Yang Chen while laughing, and he was out of breath when he was chased.
