Chapter Seventy-One: The Horseshoe (I)
Yes, this Changping County has been really eventful recently.
Yang Shouwen also felt something abnormal, but he couldn't figure out a clue.
Changping, in later generations, may have been part of the imperial capital. But in this era, it is just a small county town located in the wilderness.
But it is such a small county town, but it has changed one after another.
Today, Changping can be said to be full of fog.
Many forces are competing here, but who is who is still not clear.
The entire Changping County seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and even Wang He, the county commander of the Lord of Changping, began to become a little strange. This made Yang Chenglie's father and son feel an inexplicable pressure, and even a hint of fear.
"By the way, Daddy, do you remember the number on Jasmine's picture?"
"How?"
"I remember the first number, it's 810, Daddy, what do you touch?"
Yang Chenglie stretched, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a strange color.
"Silent slurp, the army will start on August 10."
Yang Shouwen nodded and said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, all the numbers on it are dates." ”
Yang Chenglie heard this, and immediately gasped.
He stood up, wandered around the room for a while, and said to Yang Shouwen, "Then do you remember the other numbers?" ”
"Erlang still remembers two, one is 826 and the other is 828.
It's just that he can't figure out where these two numbers are marked. Daddy, don't you think it's weird? ”
"Nonsense, of course weird."
How can there be a march to fight, and the time will be marked?
This is not a war in the future, there is a clear time requirement.
This year and month can only be an approximate time number, but it is too incredible to say that it is accurate to a certain day.
Unless......
Yang Chenglie was thrilled, and he got up and was about to go out.
"Daddy, where are you going?"
"I'm going to go to the county and ask for that map."
"It's so late, I'm afraid the county lord has already rested...... It is better to go to him tomorrow to ask for it, so as not to disturb people's dreams. ”
Look at the time, it's past the sub-hour.
Yang Chenglie also knew that it was too late, so he nodded and did not insist any longer.
"Son, it's getting late, let's rest early...... Tomorrow, remember to summon the old army, and don't forget about Huang Qi. ”
"I remember, Daddy, don't worry."
Yang Chenglie got up and walked out of the room, and Yang Shouwen was the only one left in the room.
The body is very tired, but the spirit seems to be very high. The lights were blown out, and he lay on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Since he woke up, the scenes that have happened, one thing after another, have kept flashing in his mind, and they are very messy. He tried to tease out the clues he knew, but to no avail.
Rolling over and sitting up, he pulled out the oiled paper bag from his leather satchel.
Then lie on the bed and toss and turn in your hands and fiddle with it. If it weren't for a voice in his head reminding him not to open this oiled paper bag, Yang Shouwen might really be unable to help it and open this oily paper bag to look through.
Unconsciously, Yang Shouwen entered his dream......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Pony, why didn't you come to me?"
A mournful voice appeared in Yang Shouwen's ears, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the beautiful palace.
The palace was engulfed in fire and littered with corpses.
A woman, soaked in blood, held out her hand at him.
"Pony, save me!"
"Ahh
Yang Shouwen yelled, I don't know if it was because of anger or because of panic, in short, he woke up all of a sudden.
"Brother son, what's wrong with you?"
The timid voice came from beside him, Yang Shouwen felt a little drowsy, turned his head to look, but saw the young lady's moving little face. Her face showed concern from the bottom of her heart, and she also reached out and touched Yang Shouwen's forehead.
"Brother son, are you sick?"
Although he didn't look in the mirror, Yang Shouwen also knew that his face must not be very good-looking at the moment.
"Young lady, why did you come in?"
"I brought my brother water to wash his face, but I heard him yelling in the house...... So I went inside and had a look.
Brother son, who is Bao'er? ”
You ask me, who do I ask?
Yang Shouwen felt like he was about to be tormented by this damn nightmare! After returning from Guzhu, he didn't have this dream again. But in his dream, he was carried by the young lady with a sword, and he ran crazy all over the world, which made him a little confused.
Now, that damn 'wrapper' has reappeared!
Yang Shouwen shook his head vigorously, lifted the quilt and got off the bed.
Fortunately, he didn't have the habit of sleeping, and fortunately, in these years, people wear underwear when they sleep, otherwise it would be a big shame. Taking the wet towel from the young lady's hand, he wiped his face vigorously, and his head became much clearer.
"I don't know who Bao'er is, I don't even know this person."
Yang Shouwen looked distressed, threw the wet wipes into the basin, and picked up the toothbrush again.
Phew, even the order is wrong...... What a terrible start.
Yang Shouwen finished brushing his teeth, wiped his face again, sat on the porch, and asked the young lady to help him comb his hair. The Tang people keep their hair, and they have to toss it like this once a day. However, the young lady seemed to like the feeling of combing Yang Shouwen's hair, smiling all over her face, combing and nagging at the same time, talking about some topics that seemed interesting to her.
"Brother son, in the future, your hair must be curled by the young lady."
"Okay!"
Yang Shouwen was a little absent-minded, looking at the five dogs such as Bodhi running around with flowers in the courtyard, his mind became muddy again.
The young lady tied Yang Shouwen's hair, and then sat beside him, a little unhappy.
"Young lady, who bullied you again?"
"Brother son, yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I didn't spend it with my brother."
"Oh...... It doesn't matter, doesn't the young lady know that the moon of fifteen is sixteen...... By the way, we haven't eaten mooncakes yet, so let's go around the street together later. At this time, there are sure to be plenty of delicious things. ”
"Really?"
The young lady was suddenly happy, and pointed at the melon with her little head, like a chicken pecking rice.
It's just that when Yang Shouwen changed his clothes and was about to go out, he found that there were several more tails behind him.
The young lady told the young slave, so the young slave also went.
Then the two ran to find the Song family, but they didn't want Yang Jasmine to pass by, and when they heard that there was something delicious, they also shouted that they wanted to go out with them.
As a result, when Yang Shouwen took the young lady out, in addition to Yang Jasmine and Qingnu, there were five dogs behind him. When Yang Shouwen saw this scene, he was also helpless not to, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse them and them.
In this way, the group left the Yang Mansion in a mighty manner.
There are many theories about the origin of mooncakes in later generations.
Du Niang once said that the first time I saw the word moon cake was in the book "Dream Lianglu" in the Southern Song Dynasty. But Du Niang also said: It was recorded in the book "What I Saw and Heard in Luozhong" that at the Mid-Autumn Festival New Branch Jinshi Qujiang Banquet of Tang Xizong, he gave moon cakes to share with everyone.
Anyway, with Du Niang's unreliable urine, you can't figure out what the situation is.
However, Yang Shouwen saw with his own eyes that in the first year of the holy calendar, there were already people selling mooncakes in the market.
The moon cakes of these years are very simple, not as many as in later generations.
Tang people like sweets, but Yang Shouwen likes to eat the kind of salted egg yolk moon cakes, which are salty and rebellious, and they are not interested in sweet moon cakes. However, he still bought many mooncakes with different shapes. There are diamond-shaped mooncakes, chrysanthemum-shaped mooncakes, and plum blossom-shaped mooncakes. The two little girls only ate half of it and didn't want to eat it anymore, and the rest of the mooncakes were basically handed over to Yang Jasmine. Of course, there are also Bodhi's five dogs, which are also stained.
Today's Changping is more deserted than yesterday.
There are more Wuhou patrolling the street than yesterday......
Yang Shouwen led a few people around the street for a while, and then sat down in a wine shop shack near the city gate.
"Big brother, isn't that the second brother?"
The young slave suddenly pulled Yang Shouwen's arm and pointed to a person at the city gate and asked.
Looking in the direction of his finger, Yang Shouwen saw Yang Rui wearing a public uniform and resting at the gate of the city with a few people.
"Sit down, I'll take a look."
Yang Rui followed Yang Chenglie to the county office early in the morning, and it stands to reason that he should be sitting in the public room in the left compartment at this time.
