At the beginning of spring, the east wind thaws.

At the entrance of the cave, an early plum blossomed, cold and fragrant, and the color deceived the frost and snow.

Mu Dian went back to the house to lay paper in a hurry, and wrote a letter to Chang Qianfo: Acacia plum blossoms overnight, suddenly in front of the window suspected to be Jun.

The hand paused unconsciously in the air, and she knew that she missed it again.

Chang Qianfo, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't receive her letter.

At this time, he was surveying in the mountains under the blazing white sun, sat down to drink water, and saw a few young leaves of aconitum newly broken under his feet.

- Aconitum white, the most bitter ginseng businessman, often think of angelica! 【1】

Spring has opened and roads have been opened.

The avenue from south to north is bustling with pedestrians.

A young man riding a white horse lifted half a pot of wine and pulled his hood diagonally, leaving only half of his white face and a pair of smiling phoenix eyes, and walked briskly past.

This is a handsome face, with a strong and thin body that only martial arts can have, and a saddle horse is skillful, all the way over the carriages and pedestrians, and the women on the side of the road are sideways.

Li Xiaoxiao beat the horse and followed Li An'an, eager to cover his face.

If Li Ting hadn't worried that it would be dangerous for her to walk alone with a girl's family, and she had to promise to follow Li An'an honestly before letting her out, she would have wanted to throw down this peacock and go to southern Yunnan as soon as possible.

"Li An'an, we are here to help the eldest brother do things, not for you to come out to attract bees and butterflies, you can't stop the meeting?" She couldn't help but complain.

"Li Xiaoxiao, what you said is strange." Li Anan was unconvinced: "I walked well, isn't it because of your poor horse skills that I am holding back?" ”

"Huh? I'm a bad horse! Do you dare to compare yourself to me? ”

"It's better than that, don't cry if you lose."

Two horses, one yellow and one white, galloped side by side on the avenue, and no one let anyone.

"It's real." Li An'an clamped the horse's belly with his legs, raised his hand to whip it, and rushed out with the reins, "Dare to boast that you will catch up with me, cut, I am your own big brother, okay, a girl who eats inside and out!" ”

At the same time, Mo Cangcang was lying on a speeding carriage eating cakes leisurely, and sitting opposite were Wang Yuan and Li Zhihuan, two genius doctors from Gu'an Hall.

Fu Xiu took Wu Yangzhi to bid farewell to Jiang Yue on the road.

……

The major pharmacies and pharmacies in Changjiabao have sent people to southern Yunnan: either those who have potential and can be independent in the future; or a superb skill, such as Wang Yuan, Zhen Yueyin and other medical geniuses; Either they are good at it, such as being familiar with pharmacology, proficient in processing, and good at accounting...... Mostly young people.

This is what Chang Jihai means, to take advantage of this rare opportunity to hammer and hone a group of future generations.

Even the first group of people who followed Chang Qianfo to southern Yunnan were also very particular.

For example, Li Zhe is bold and easy to make friends, and can deal with local aborigines; Lin Lu and Li Kangkang were well-versed in herbal medicine and were proficient in the growth habits of various medicinal materials, so they went into the mountains to find herbs and select medicinal fields.

Chang Qianfo is responsible for the overall planning and mediation with the local government.

After a few months, several people are basically familiar with the local situation, and the relationship between various walks of life has also been opened. The next step was to cultivate the fields on a large scale, build farms, and build roads.

It is bound to have conflicts of interest with local medicine farmers and bandits from all walks of life.

Jiang Yiyi was pregnant, Li Zhe was extremely nervous, and sent someone to send her back to Huairentang. All the relatives were moved to the neighboring county in advance, and were taken care of by an old steward on the old Zhuangzi, and there were iron guards secretly protecting them.

What they are going to fight next is a tough battle.

In March, the peach blossoms bloomed.

Mu Dian can sit on the Guanxin Ping and read a book, and when he looks up, he can see the peach groves on the opposite mountain like pink smoke. She remembered that today is the tenth day of the first month of March, and the wedding date of Yueting is coming.

Before going up the mountain, she also deliberately asked someone to ask Mu Yueting once-after all, she had to do her best to do what she had promised.

But Mu Yueting's attitude was vague.

She probably didn't figure out how to go after this year.

If you can't marry Jin Yanchen, it may not be the same to marry anyone. She didn't know who to choose, and she couldn't judge whether it was good or bad, so she had to choose to believe in her father, who had always loved her.

On March 12, the red makeup, which stretched for ten miles, was lifted out of Hongli Lane, east out of Luoyang, and headed for Yingchuan.

On March 13, the sedan chair traveled. fresh

According to the predetermined route, the send-off team will walk on the road for five days, and it will be the 18th of March to arrive at Yingshuinan, the auspicious day of the plan.

Yingshui Nanwen's family is an old scholar clan, and they may not be as powerful as the Mu family, but they are famous.

It stands to reason that Mu Yueting is a distant marriage, and Wen Heng does not have to welcome him to Luoyang in person, as long as he goes to Yingshui'an, or is more sincere, and goes out of Yingchuan to greet him.

The elders of the Wen clan also thought so.

They even felt that Wen Heng, as the head of the Wen family in Yingshui South, would hurt the dignity of the old scholar clan by marrying a woman from the rivers and lakes.

After all, once upon a time, they didn't even look down on princesses.

In this situation, where both parties felt that the other party had climbed high, Wen Heng showed his importance to the bride, and resolutely ignored the opposition of his relatives, traveled hundreds of miles, and greeted him at the gate of the Mu family.

The fairy of the martial arts is married.

How many heroes have broken their hearts.

Everyone is envious of Wen Heng's good fortune, and word of mouth is passing on this grand event of the marriage between the rivers and lakes and the scholars.

However, what no one expected was that on the first night when the sedan chair was about to arrive on the south bank of Yingshui, the welcoming team was attacked, and the fairy Mu Yueting disappeared.

Spring goes and summer comes.

It's June.

The peach blossoms on the opposite mountain are gone, and you can see clusters of plain white gardenias and honeysuckle, like the snow that has not melted last winter, dotting the green dense forest.

Mu Dian didn't want to look at the flowers, she was anxious to break the ban on the fifth hole.

It was in this month that the Jiankang Su family fell.

There are many crimes: collusion with the harem and chaos in the government; selling official positions and accepting bribes; colluded with the in-laws Kim to break the embankment and harm the people; Chuzhou Pingwen, a prisoner waiting to be released in prison pretended to be a traitor and beheaded, and lied about his head; instructing a condemned prisoner to assassinate him...... There are a total of 18 counts. 【2】

The latest one is that Su Buyan has been in Yingchuan for less than three days, and he has not done anything to benefit the people, but he personally led his soldiers to attack the local Wen family's welcoming team.

This matter was first reported by the Wen family, and later officials admonished one after another, implicating all kinds of incidents committed by the Su family in the year that they were reused.

Liu Yu, the king of Germany, sat in charge of the trial, which lasted three months. 【3】

The men of the Su family were imprisoned and waited for the autumn to be beheaded; The sale of women and children, the exile of exile, only escaped a strong martial arts Jin Caimo.

The imperial court issued a sea fishing document and seized it with a lot of money.

A few months ago, it was still in front of the gate of the Su family, where there was an endless stream of cars and horses, and now there is not even a pedestrian.

The terraces were grassy, and the cobwebs hung on the eaves, and they were empty.

There is a teahouse on South Street, and the blind old gentleman who sets up a stall downstairs to tell a story sings all day long: "Watching it rise up a tall building, watching it feast guests, watching his building collapse ......"

I didn't think there was anything in the past, but this time it is particularly emotional.

After singing like this for three days, Xixian Guifei Su Xiaomei wrote three words in the cold palace - Jun Enbo, fell asleep at the desk, and never woke up. 【4】

The geese go to the day in September.

The maple forests that spread over the mountains were redder than fire.

Mu Dianke finally entered the fifth library cave.

Chang Qianfo built the first medicine house in southern Yunnan and began to transport medicinal materials to the north, and was planning to build a second and a third.

The farther south you go, the more remote the land becomes, and the more uncivilized the people become. He is always adjusting and mediating, and he is always taking strategies: sometimes he gathers to discuss with the group, but he must not act arbitrarily.

Of course, violence will also be countered by force.

The lamp in the study is often picked up all night.
