Xiao Sa's autumn wind blew gently, rolling up pieces of yellow fallen leaves on the ground, the sky was just white, the biting chill was that the rooster just coping with a few cries and shrunk his neck, and then close to the hen, after all, it is now late autumn, the temperature during the day is okay, but the morning is already a little cold.

Just when many people were still holding their mother-in-law and comfortable cats in the bed, three carriages and ten healthy horses had already stepped on the morning dew, galloping on the official road in Yangzhou, and rushed straight to the Qinghe.

It was Liu Yuan, Cui Tingshi and his party.

Liu Yuan couldn't help but tighten the clothes on his body a little tighter, so as not to get into his clothes by the cold wind.

"Young master, it doesn't matter to you, why don't you make a small charcoal stove for you?" Zhao An looked at it and immediately asked with concern.

"Forget it, the sun will rise in a while, I'm young and strong, no problem, Zhao Lao, if you're cold, give birth to one."

Zhao An smiled and said: "The young master is really compassionate, the old slave is not cold, it is much colder than this, the old slave has stayed, hehe." ”

"Tossed for a night last night, let's sleep for a while, from Yangzhou to Qinghe, this road is far away."

Liu Yuanwan said, taking the lead in closing his eyes.

Liu An saw that the young master knew that he wanted to take a break, and he also closed his mouth with interest, for fear that he would make Liu Yuan rest, so he walked out of the carriage lightly and went to chat with the coachman.

In fact, Liu Yuan didn't fall asleep, he just closed his eyes and recuperated, what happened these days is more than what happened before he sent it combined, especially in the past two days, he has to apprentice and transfer his property, teach his disciples, arrange the tasks and development direction of the Moyun and Jinyu families, and prepare gifts for the trip to Qinghe. In addition, I have to take time to appease Xiaoniang and Du Sanniang, and I have to make them feel relieved.

Thankfully, everything went very smoothly.

Mo Yun and the Jin Yu family are also on the right track, as long as the direction is good, the silver is like a pigcage into the water, flowing into Liu Yuan's pocket with a bang, in terms of apprenticeship and transfer of property, the progress is very smooth, Mr. Su originally thought that there was no hope of accepting apprentices. Unexpectedly, Liu Yuan took the initiative to invest in his own door this time, he was simply overjoyed, when Liu Yuan asked, why did he keep a student status for himself, Mr. Su smiled and said: It's very simple. I know you'll turn back, in Datang. There is no status if you have money. Everyone is a "big fat meat", how can you live comfortably?

It's just that, with Liu Yuan's character, he will definitely live up to Mr. Su's kindness, and the most obvious thing is that Liu Yuan and his party finished the apprenticeship ceremony. I was about to say goodbye and leave, busy with other things, not to mention teaching, and I didn't hear a few words of teaching. And Liu Yuan didn't have much interest in this scientific expedition.

Under the support of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the Zhongzheng officials were all in the hands of the scholars, and after many years, they formed a situation of "the upper grade has no poor family, and the lower grade has no scholars", and the scientific examination is not so important.

Lift the window of the car and look out, there are guards riding healthy horses in front of the road, and strong house slaves in the back, a group of more than a dozen people, rushing towards the Qinghe, many merchants or traveling carriages saw this formation, and consciously retreated to the side of the official road to avoid, which made Liu Yuan feel the beauty of power again.

There are a total of three carriages, ten healthy horses, the carriage is in the middle, and the front and rear are guarding the domestic slaves to protect, Liu Yuan looked at the carriage at the back, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart: what was contained in it were all gifts, gifts and other things used in this courtship, those were all silver, in order to buy these things, Liu Yuan's more than 10,000 taels of cash spent most of it, and when Wang Yushi and Chen Chang made "wedding clothes" for themselves, Liu Yuan was not an ordinary pride, and now he gave his hard-earned silver to others as "wedding clothes". Liu Yuan understood what it was like.

It's better to live than to die.

Suddenly, Liu Yuan felt a little unusual shaking of the second carriage, and he was wondering, a small white hand stretched out from the window, and the gold bracelet on his wrist was very conspicuous, and soon, the hand stretched out again, and then, the carriage shook unusually.

Nima!

Liu Yuan scolded secretly, it is obvious that Cui Tingshi and his personal maid are prostituting themselves in the daytime, this old boy is very emotional, he got this in the carriage, that beautiful maid Liu Yuan has seen, it is a tall, blonde and blue-eyed orchid, it seems to be a mixed-race, with Caucasian blood, it looks like a first-class charming, wild, it is said that he is still a Hu nobleman in distress, he was only bought by Cui Tingshi the day before yesterday, it is estimated that it is to cope with this long journey.

The sky is thundering, he carries his own beautiful maid, but hints that he doesn't want to bring a woman, what do you say to ask for a kiss, don't let people see that he takes a beautiful woman wherever he goes, thinking that he is a womanizer, but he brought it himself, once he thought of the charming style of that orchid, and then looked at the appearance of himself with Zhao An's old dragon clock, Liu Yuan didn't mention how depressed he was.

It would be great if Du Sanniang was here

The carriage has been going forward, when encountering the post station, do not get off the car to rest, usually change the horse to continue to hurry, the speed when changing horses, let Liu Yuan feel envious, get off the car, hand over the official documents, no need to say good words, no need to stuff red envelopes, the post chief handed over the best good horse to Cui Tingshi and his party to use, and also very warmly invited to rest or something, which is like Liu Yuan went to Qinghe for the first time, and used silver to dot and open the road at any time, not to mention how depressed.

It's very simple, the post station is opened by the government, mainly for the convenience of officials, the room is limited, priority is given to entertaining officials and their official business, when they are busy, other people are not easy to make money, Liu Yuan tried to sleep in the post station, most of the night let people blast out of the room, to go outside the experience of sleeping outside, the reason is very simple, in the middle of the night came an official, it seems that the backstage is quite hard, other people that the post chief did not dare to alarm, just rushed the lowest status Liu Yuan, who called him a businessman, and then Liu Yuan asked him to return the money, there was a conflict, I almost let him beat him up after the end.

Thinking about it, Liu Yuan didn't know when he fell asleep.

However, the condition of the official road is not very good, and the carriage is not shock-absorbed, Liu Yuan was woken up by the carriage after sleeping for half an hour, and he had nothing to do, so he took out the set that was ready to be given to Cui Mengyao's zodiac to polish and polish it, to be honest, I can't carve or anything on the horse, but it's no problem to polish or polish something.

As soon as people focus, time flies very quickly, Liu Yuan just finished processing a piece, and he felt that the carriage was getting slower and slower, and the coachman "Huh~~~", the carriage stopped.

"Young master, young man." Zhao An, who was sitting outside, whispered.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao An whispered: "It's getting dark, the coachman said, there is no post station in front of us for nearly a hundred miles, we will rest here for one night today, and continue to rush tomorrow morning." ”

The carriage has no lights, there are no street lights on the official road, and it is very dangerous to walk in the dark.

Liu Yuan nodded, opened the car door, waited at Zhao An's waiting, stepped out of the carriage, raised his eyes, and saw that he had stopped at a post station, and was going to spend the night here today, hey, how does this place feel a little familiar?

"Hey, what about Cui Tingshi?" After Liu Yuan got out of the car, he found that Cui Tingshi's carriage was not moving, and he couldn't help but ask strangely.

With such a bewitching orchid on the road to relieve boredom, that old boy will not die of exhaustion, right?

"Young master, you sit down first, I'll inquire." After Zhao An finished speaking, he walked to Cui Tingshi's side, only to see him whispering a few words to the car club, nodding frequently, and quickly ran back.

Zhao An whispered in Liu Yuan's ear: "Young master, the coachman said that Lord Thorn Shi was asleep, Lord Thorn Shi said that he should have a good rest, and he was not allowed to wake him up if he had nothing to do, and now they are all waiting for him to wake up, I guess I have to wait for a while." ”

Yes, although I didn't guess it, I didn't die exhausted, but I was also exhausted, the carriages had arrived at the post station, Cui Tingshi hadn't gotten up yet, having an identity was different, you could do whatever you wanted, the ten guards and house slaves who followed to protect, four took care of the horses, four guarded Cui Tingshi's carriage, and two guarded the gifts of the car, but no one came to protect Liu Yuan.

That's the treatment.

"Forget it, let's just take a walk." Liu Yuan didn't mind, so he walked around and visited.

To be honest, the location of this post station is really good, by the mountains and rivers, surrounded by lush trees, flowers, there are wooden fences outside, it is estimated that it is a barren mountain and wild mountains, afraid of the beast attack, at this time the sun sets, the golden sunset dyes the earth a piece of golden, between the green mountains and green waters, this post station surrounded by a wooden fence, it seems a bit like the taste of a paradise.

Very beautiful.

In fact, there are not so many legends about the official post, when the Tang Dynasty was the strongest, there were 260 water posts in the country, 1297 land posts, at that time, there were more than 20,000 employees specializing in post service, and each land post was divided into six classes: 20 first-class posts with postmen, 15 second-class posts with postmen, decreasing below the third class, and the last first-class and sixth-class posts were two to three postmen. The water post is also divided into three classes according to the busy and leisurely post service: 12 people are equipped with the post man, nine people are equipped with the post man, and the water post is equipped with six people.

However, those private hotels run by wealthy local families for business purposes are not counted.

Unconsciously, Liu Yuan walked to the front of the post station and saw the signboard of the post station: Feilai Station.

It turned out that the name of the post station at this time was Feilaiyi, and Liu Yuan nodded: This name is a bit interesting.

When Liu Yuan was watching, a group of people came out of the post station, led by a short and fat person, dressed like a post man, it is estimated that when he heard that such a large group of people had arrived, he had not stayed for a long time, and he couldn't help but come out to take a look, as for the entanglement of so many people, it was just in case.

After all, barren mountains and mountains, it would not be good if there were thieves.

"Is that you?"

"Is that you?"

As soon as Liu Yuan and the short and fat Yicheng looked at each other, both sides shook for a moment, and then couldn't help but cry out in unison.

"Hehe, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there are no six in hell, you come in, bump into me this time, see how I clean you up." When the short and fat Yicheng looked at Liu Yuan, fire was about to burst out in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and scolded.

With a wave of his hand, several post guards surrounded him and surrounded Liu Yuan in the middle, grinding their palms one by one, as if they wanted to teach Liu Yuan a good lesson.

Liu Yuan didn't say a word, he rushed forward in two steps, and before Fat Yicheng could react, he gave him a big slap with a "snap". (To be continued.) )
