Chapter 66: Tattoos
Song Yang shook his head and smiled: "Where is this, it's out of tune when he talks about it." ”
His eyes were crooked, shaped like a crescent moon and bright like a crescent moon, the county lord of Chenghe smiled and stared at Song Yang again: "How do I look at you smiling... Feeling proud? ”
Song Yang coughed, waved his hand, and said to himself: "I understand what you mean, I will persuade Xiao Qi when I find an opportunity, but in the end, she still has to make her own decisions about this matter." From Ren Xiaozhuo's surname to Qin Zun's temper, it is not difficult to see that the environment of Hongbo Mansion is very good, less and more favorable, and Song Yang also feels that it is a good place for Xiao Qi.
Ren Churong's face was happy: "She must listen to you." Recruiting this heavy and heavy character is just a matter of words and a trivial matter to you. ”
Song Yang couldn't tell whether the county lord's words were a mist or a joke, so he simply ignored it and changed the subject: "I also have something to look for you, it's a medicinal herb." After entering Beijing, please help me ask the many famous doctors in Phoenix if anyone knows the whereabouts of 'Butterfly Blue'. ”
Although Nanli is small, it is also a country after all, and there are many famous doctors and saints in the capital, as long as some of them know the whereabouts of this medicine, Hongbo Mansion will definitely be able to find it. In this regard, Ren Churong nodded happily.
And in the end, Ren Churong accentuated his tone and said to Song Yang: "If you want to go to Dayan Yipin, it won't be an easy task. Ten strange people Guan Nanli Guowei, both the saint and the imperial court attach great importance to it, and none of the people who can be selected to Kyoto are ordinary people. What's more, you have a huge disadvantage in comparison...... You grew up in Nanli, but you were born in the Yan Kingdom. ”
The selected people, the state government will naturally report their resumes to the imperial court, although Song Yang grew up in Nanli, he was brought over from Yan by his uncle, which cannot be hidden.
Song Yang also frowned, this matter was a trouble, and he had been negligent before.
After talking about the matter, the two urged the horses to return to the brigade, during which Song Yang suddenly asked: "I heard that in the early spring, the sky is full of flying flakes near the palace, which is very beautiful." ”
Ren Churong nodded and smiled: "Yes, it can be regarded as a scenery in Phoenix City, you must go and see it when the time comes." ”
Song Yang smiled and didn't say anything, and after catching up with the team, he unexpectedly found that it was no longer Hong Bowei who was driving the carriage, but a mute.
Seeing Song Yang coming back, Xiao Jiu spoke first: "I persuaded him, but he didn't listen, so he had to catch the car in person." ”
The dumb man grinned at Song Yanghan, first gestured to indicate that 'it is not appropriate for the master's carriage to be controlled by outsiders', and then patted his chest again, indicating that his body was fine, and he was completely capable of driving the car for the master.
Song Yang jumped back into the car and asked the dumb man casually, "Where are you from?" ”
The dumb man opened his mouth wide, his face full of confusion, and shook his head.
Song Yang smiled: "You don't know it yourself?" It doesn't matter, it's not completely untraceable, you have tattoos. ”
Similar to the barbarians, the mute also has a tattoo on his back, but it is different from the ordinary barbarians' fancy styles such as gods, beasts, yue, and moons, but a picture of a kraken that makes waves, with complex ornaments and magnificent momentum, and it is by no means an ordinary 'craft'. Song Yang asked the mute, this tattoo has been imprinted on his back since he was sensible, and it should have been tattooed shortly after birth. If you can find out the origin of the tattoo, you will naturally know the origin of the mute.
At the beginning, Song Yang snatched the mute from the hands of the Tibetan merchants, not because he liked his combat strength, but because he felt that he prayed for the unworthy enemy before the battle, which showed that he had a good heart, and that's it.
Song Yang's idea is very simple, if he can help the mute find his hometown, and he himself is willing to go home, let him go back.
The team moved forward slowly, and the closer they got to the Hongbo Mansion in Beijing, the pomp and pomp were gradually revealed, starting from two hundred miles away from Phoenix City, every ten miles there would be a team of Hongbo Wei horses to meet the princess and the county lord; When there are only 100 miles left, there will be a response every five miles; Fifty miles later, there is a sentry in three miles, and the horses' hooves are bursting on the official road, and the red knights are constantly coming and going;
Ten miles away from the capital, not only the Hongbo generals came to greet them, but also many officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials. The matter was not over yet, until Song Yang and the others were taken to the luxury inn, and another holy decree came, praising Her Royal Highness the princess who presided over the selection of Qingyang, and really encouraging the selected ones, and at the same time there were royal rewards.
Strange people, regardless of skills or background, the Nanli court will treat them with national courtesy. It's not just Qingyang who is virtuous, but all the talents who have returned from Kyushu have received such courtesy. And in the red tape, unconsciously, the interest of the selected people became more and more excited.
Ren Xiaozhu and the officials of the two ministries assigned official duties, and they worked hard to find a vacancy, and ran to Song Yang's side, wanting to say something, but in the end, they still put on red lips and kissed for a long time......
At dusk on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Song Yang stayed in Phoenix City, waiting for the next round of selection, and nearly forty folk strangers competed for ten seats in the competition. However, at this time, it is the New Year, and the date of the selection has not yet been determined, and it will not be until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at the earliest.
Because of a delay in Qingyang for a period of time, Song Yang and his entourage were the latest to arrive in Kyushu. After sending off the officials, most of the winners from other places also came to say hello, and it was indispensable to have a half-hour greeting and lively, Xiao Jiu had better inquire, and when the noise dispersed after dinner, she made tea for Song Yang, sat aside herself, stretched out her finger and calculated: "Counting us, there are a total of thirty-seven 'virtuous people' in the post house, most of them have come to say hello, and there are seven people who have not come... I've got it all answered. ”
The three brothers of the Hong family, Heikou Yao, the dwarf Taoist, the blind man of Guigu, and the few winners mentioned by the county lord of Chenghe and Song Yang on the road, none of them came, and there was also a young woman with outstanding dancing skills, who did not come to visit.
After counting them one by one, Xiao Jiu pursed his lips with disdain: "Proud of his talents and proud of himself, isn't it rare to come over to say hello?" It's not worth it to be a sidekick for my son-in-law. ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and someone asked from the outside, "Is Song Gongzi resting?" ”
Hearing the door, Song Yang said to Xiao Jiu: "You are quite effective, you will come whatever you say." "Get up and open the door.
There were three people here, the old man with a flat nose, the middle-aged man next to him with buckteeth, and the other looked younger, about thirty years old, born with scars and eyes, and the three of them were ugly with their own characteristics. The old man with a flat nose spoke first: "Mr. Song? Excuse me. Then he pointed behind him: "These are the old man's two younger brothers." ”
Song Yang asked, "The three gentlemen of the Hong family?" ”
The old man with a flat nose nodded slightly: "Old man Hong Yi." ”
The second bucktooth also signed up casually: "Old man Hongzheng." ”
The third child with scarred eyes said in a loud voice: "Hong Zhi." ”
Song Yang smiled and nodded: "I heard about the three gentlemen on the road as early as the road, please come in." ”
The three brothers Hong Yi, Hong Zheng, and Hong Zhi looked arrogant and not polite, and walked into the house with a step, and after sitting down, Hong Yi was the first to speak: "Song Gongzi's 'young man' in Qingyang is deafening, and the old man also admires it very much. At the same time, I still had some doubts in my heart, so I specially went to the door to ask my son for advice. ”
Song Yang didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in the capital, the three brothers of the Rehong family came to the door to 'kick the hall' before they even sat in the chair, and now it was not a palace test, so he had no intention of dealing with the other party. Just as he wanted to refuse, the second Hong Zheng spoke first, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I also have a topic similar to 'Young Qiang', and I want to ask my son for advice... My title is called 'Everyone Flys', if everyone in Nanli can fly, and their wings soar into the sky, everyone will fly to the Buddha's Spiritual Mountain, Elysium, and have eternal life, wouldn't it be good? ”
Hong Zheng raised his buckteeth and smiled at Song Yang, who almost had the illusion that the other party's teeth would fly out to hit him.
Obviously, the 'young strong' that Hong Zheng criticized was a rhetoric that was completely unsubstantiated, just like his 'everyone flies', and the contempt was self-evident.
