By the time it was dawn, the convoy was already packing up and getting ready to go.

After breakfast, the mountain road was clearly visible, and the carriage was drawn in a long line, slowly crossing the mountain pass.

Sure enough, as the caravan next to him said, the road conditions on the back of the mountain were even worse. I didn't dare to stop all the way until the afternoon, and then I will reach the foot of the mountain.

"It's not too far ahead to cross the bridge, and it's much easier to walk across the bridge." The team leader looked in front of him from afar and breathed a sigh of relief.

By the time the bridge was over, another hour and a half had passed.

The Wei sisters in the car were fine, and the faces of the others showed obvious fatigue.

"Work hard, we can stay for half a day more when we get to Yaoxian."

Before the leader's words fell, God began to change his face. Seeing a large dark cloud floating from nowhere, the sky darkened, and about half a pillar of incense, the raindrops the size of beans crackled and fell.

"It's like this in the mountains, and when it says it rains, it rains." The team leader sat in Wei Zhan's carriage and glanced at it, "It's no big problem, we are ready early, and things won't break." ”

When I drove in the morning, I took a moment to cover up the tarpaulin behind me. The big guys also put the rain gear within reach. When the rain fell, more than a dozen people in the front and back cars were all dressed in rainproof clothes and hats.

On the outskirts of Yaoxian, farmland began to grow.

The climate here is much hotter than in the Central Plains, and you can grow two crops of rice a year. In addition, there are many other crops that are also being cultivated on a large scale, and the people here live a better life than in Ganzhou.

As they spoke, they passed by a fork in the road. The fork in the road was overgrown with grass and few people, and even the fields were deserted even a little farther away.

Wei Jin, who saw this situation through the corner of the car window, guessed in his heart that it might be the road to the village that had been completely destroyed.

When we arrived outside Yaoxian County, the rain decreased.

Following the instructions of the roadside wooden signs, they did not enter the city, but went to a bungalow area to the southwest.

"This place was built specifically for passing merchants to rest." Holding a bowl of ginger soup, the team leader took a big sip and shivered before continuing to tell Wei Zan about Yaoxian, "This Yaoxian was originally just an inconspicuous small place. More than ten years ago, today's Shoufu Lord was admitted to show off his talents from here and slowly entered the officialdom. ”

After the first assistant became an official, he did not forget his hometown, and sent people back to buy land and property, and ran a clan school village school, and later there were more people in Yaoxian County who embarked on a career in office, and the later county commanders did not dare to mess around here, and under the governance of the whole heart, Yaoxian County became the largest county within a radius of 100 miles.

"In the past, caravans and horses could enter the city. This is not a vicious incident a few years ago, two large caravans fought with arms, and the result was not to mention the defeat of both sides, and it also affected innocent people and destroyed more than a dozen houses. The prefectural commander was furious and drove all the caravans out. If you want to live in the city, you are not allowed to bring chariots and horses, and even the number of people in the retinue is limited. Over time, everyone gets used to it. ”

As he spoke, there were people next to him who knew about the matter, and they were very dissatisfied with the two caravans that affected everyone. But they only complained a few words, and they really chose to lead people to break into the city gate, they didn't have the guts.

The topic turned a corner, and somehow, it came to the head of this year's new science and technology show.

"That little Xiucai Gong heard that he is of the same clan as Lord Shoufu, and he has been very smart since he was a child. People say that if he can get the blue eyes of Lord Shoufu, maybe he will be an old man in the future. ”

"But no, listen to my daughter-in-law's mother's brother, now in the old courtyard of the Shoufu family, when the imperial examination arrives, there are incense candles on the side of the wall, and everyone wants to ask adults to bless their children to be able to go to high school."

"If you want me to say, they wouldn't be kind. It's not that adults themselves don't have children, and if they want to cultivate their own descendants and nephews, it won't be the turn of others, right? ”

"Listen, listen to your words, you know that you are short-sighted and narrow-minded. How can someone like you guess? Let me tell you, I had the privilege of staying with Shousuke-sama's hometown last year, and I heard that when I returned to my hometown last year to worship my ancestors, I also took time out to teach the children of the clan school. When he returned to Beijing, he also took away several potential young students in the clan. I heard that one of them won the second place in the second class last year! ”

Listening to these rumors of right and wrong, Wei Zan kept a smile on his face, but a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

After eating and returning to the room, Wei Zan went to the two sisters' rooms to take a look and make sure that there were no safety hazards before sitting down to chat with them.

"Brother Azan, are all those people telling true? Is that Shousuke-sama really so powerful? Why don't we go burn some incense and ask him to bless Dabao? ”

Wei Jin unceremoniously patted her sister on the head: "Even if you said that you went to the temple to burn incense and ask the gods to bless me, I didn't say it, you went to beg him?" Are you stupid? ”

Wei Jue looked up at her sister blankly.

"People who can sit in the position of Shousuke don't even think about it without a snack. It's true that he is really talented, and I don't believe it when he says that he is completely selfless to promote other juniors. ”

I don't know why, as soon as I heard Wei Jue say to beg that person, Wei Jue's heart lit a fire, and his face sank a little.

Wei Jue pursed her lips and didn't dare to say any more, she didn't expect that the usually gentle sister would suddenly be so "angry", and she spoke unceremoniously, so she almost pointed at the Shoufu Lord in the capital and scolded her as a "hypocrite".

Wei Zan was also surprised by Wei Jin's anger, but he knew more, and felt that she was right, and even curious about how Wei Jin's intuition was so keen, the two of them had no intersection at all, and with just a few words of small talk from others, she could see through the hypocrisy and shamelessness under the man's elegant and humble appearance.

"He may be knowledgeable, but what ...... is he a human being," Wei Zan shook his head, "You know, he actually relied on the original dowry and the support of his wife's family to successfully pass the top prize." But just after he won the champion, for his own career and the support of the eldest princess Huairen, he imprisoned his wife, secretly got rid of his wife's mother's family, and in the end, on the grounds of death, erased the existence of his wife and eldest daughter. And when he sent his wife and eldest daughter to 'die of illness', he had already had an affair with the eldest princess and gave birth to a son and a daughter. ”

Wei Jue gasped and looked at his brother and sister in disbelief.

"Isn't there anyone else who avenges his wife?"

"How to get justice? No one is gone, even the people of his wife's family are gone because of various accidents or diseases, who wants to offend the powerful ministers and princesses favored by the first emperor for the sake of the dead? ”

Wei Jue was silent, and after a long while, he said, "Sister, I, I want to go and burn incense for his wife and children." ”

For Wei Jue's idea, Wei Jin refused without hesitation. The reason is also irrefutable, they have no relatives with each other and have no reason, so they rashly go to burn incense for his wife and daughter, in case it is spread out, it will affect the Wei family.
