Chapter 65: Has Ning County arrived?
The carriage stopped in front of the yamen, Xuanyuan Qinghe and the others had already arrived, and they were waiting now, but for some reason they were so slow Chen Wei.
Xuanyuan Qinghe didn't bring much with him, some change of clothes with him, and his own little treasury.
The purpose of bringing a small treasury is just to prevent that when you need to use money, you will be shy in your pocket, so you can come out in time to solve the siege.
But Xuanyuan Qinghe couldn't figure it out, this was just going to Ning County to urge the local magistrate.
Li Xiaoran and Ling'er brought a lot of baggage, eating, drinking, playing and so on. If it weren't for the fact that the carriage was almost unloaded, Li Xiaoran was afraid that he would have to bring more things.
"Let's go for a while, we won't be back in two days, you don't need to take these things, right?" Xuanyuan Qinghe watched the second girl continue to pack things, and couldn't help but complain.
"Don't speak, the more I pretend to be!" Li Xiaoran didn't look back, and continued to tell Ling'er to load things, and said very contemptuously.
Xuanyuan Qinghe's facial expression also revealed that helplessness, if it was someone else, Xuanyuan Qinghe would have scolded a long time ago.
But even to the two daughters in front of him, he couldn't scold anything, so he had to conform to their meanings. Sometimes a little reminder on the side.
"I'm sorry you've been waiting for a long time, I'm late!" Chen Wei, who hurried towards the yamen, said breathlessly.
"Get in the car, I'm afraid I won't be able to get there if I don't go!" Xuanyuan Qinghe said very sadly, but there was no way at all.
Chen Wei sat outside driving the carriage, and the rest of the people sat inside, Xuanyuan Qinghe gently opened the curtains, looked at the pedestrians on the road, and quickly opened his mouth and said, "What are you doing here, why are you so late?" ”
This was naturally said to Chen Wei, who was driving the carriage, Chen Wei held the reins in one hand and a small wooden stick in the other, and gently slapped the horse.
But just then, the horse suddenly became frightened, and hurried towards the city gate.
"It's nothing, Qin Ru didn't let me go at first, I tried my best to persuade him to let me go, so I delayed."
Chen Wei didn't hide it, and said to the people in the carriage while controlling the carriage.
"Then Sister Qin Ru is afraid that something will happen to you, this should be understandable, right?" Li Xiaoran naturally understood the meaning, but he was afraid that Chen Wei would not understand the reason.
"Of course I understand, I'm going to marry her when I come back this time, I'm going to make it the most lively, and you guys remember to come and cheer me on when the time comes!"
Chen Wei said that his face was already full of joyful smiles, and it seemed that the scenes of the day of the worship hall also appeared in his mind one by one.
Chen Wei gently lifted Qin Ru's red hijab, Qin Ru also blushed because of shyness, the moment the red hijab was uncovered, Chen Wei was stunned, and he didn't dare to think confidently: "Is this my wife?" ”
"Big brother, look at the road, look at the road!"
Chen Wei, who was already intoxicated with his imagination, didn't hear this, and still imagined in his dreams, but he didn't realize that the carriage was about to rush through the city gate checkpoint that had not yet been released.
Xuanyuan Qinghe saw that Chen Wei did not react, so he rushed over and snatched the reins from Chen Wei's hand, while shouting loudly to the pedestrians on the road: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”
When he was about to rush to the city gate, Xuanyuan Qinghe finally controlled the carriage with great effort.
Xuanyuan Qinghe was already exhausted, and after parking the carriage steadily, he lay on the carriage and gasped for breath.
Chen Wei also came back to his senses at this time, looked at Xuanyuan Qinghe lying on the car, and looked at the surprised eyes of the pedestrians on the road, and then understood that he was distracted.
"What are you going to do, do you want to break through the level, who are you!"
The soldiers defending the city were also startled when they saw the galloping carriage, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
But fortunately, when I was about to reach the level, I finally stopped, and then I was relieved, so I hurriedly ran to the side of the carriage and asked angrily.
"I don't you know, hurry up and let it go, grind and chirp!" After Chen Wei came back to his senses, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt, but when he saw the two soldiers coming over to ask, he spread his anger on them, and said very angrily.
"It turned out to be Lord Chen Wei, the little one was offended, this is called release, this is released!" When the soldiers saw that it was an official in the yamen, they immediately confessed.
As soon as the checkpoint opened, Xuanyuan Qinghe's carriage also went out of the city smoothly, and now it was going in the direction of Ning County.
"I was scared to death just now, Chen Wei, what happened to you just now, you didn't drink the bar?" Li Xiaoran lost his mind like this because Chen Wei was drinking.
"No, no, I'm just thinking about something, but I didn't pay attention to it all of a sudden." Chen Wei also felt very afraid, and now he was driving the carriage with a spirit of twelve points, and he would never dare to relax.
"If you don't pay attention at this time, you're almost going to cause a catastrophe, be careful, if you can't stand it, tell us!" Xuanyuan Qinghe sat in the car, looked at Chen Wei's mental state, and said very worriedly.
Chen Wei was silent, and now he was in good spirits, driving the carriage wholeheartedly, only hoping to reach Ning County safely.
Seeing that Chen Wei didn't make a sound, Li Xiaoran couldn't say anything, but he felt that it was boring to sit in the carriage, so he couldn't help but find a topic and said to Xuanyuan Qinghe: "How is this place in Ning County?" ”
"Me, are you asking me?" Xuanyuan Qinghe suddenly felt inexplicable and said.
"I haven't been to Ning County, how do I know, are you sure you're asking me?" Xuanyuan Qinghe felt very inexplicable for a while, and suddenly there was a feeling that he couldn't explain reasonably.
"Uh-uh" Li Xiaoran originally wanted to find a topic to talk about, but he didn't expect it to collapse at the beginning, and the atmosphere became very embarrassing for a while.
Fortunately, Chen Wei broke this embarrassment, Chen Wei drove the carriage and said to the people in the carriage: "I have been to Ning County a few times, but it is not for official business, but I simply went there to have a look." ”
Xuanyuan Qinghe was also interested when he heard this, and asked Chen Wei excitedly: "Then you can tell us in detail what kind of place Ningxian is?" ”
"Ning County, since ancient times, has been the land of fish and rice, where rice is abundant, there are also a lot of ponds, the customs are not bad, at least the people I met in the few times I went to are very good."
Chen Wei is a person who likes to walk around, once he has nothing to do, he likes to run around, and it can be said that he has run all over the place in Qinzhou.
However, Chen Wei has always had a wish, that is, one day he can go to the capital city of Bianjing to see the most prosperous place in the world.
"Looks like this place is pretty good!" Li Xiaoran also felt good after listening to it, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "Then why doesn't this magistrate just do things?" ”
"I don't know this magistrate, I don't know much about it, doesn't it mean that Cui Qi has already gone, and it should be okay for us to ask him when the time comes."
Chen Wei didn't know the magistrate of Ning County, so he didn't have a good evaluation, anyway, Cui Qi had already gone first, so he pushed this onto Cui Qi.
"That's the way I said, but I don't think it's going to be too simple, and there may be some kind of conspiracy involved, maybe it's okay!" Li Xiaoran thought about it and said with great skepticism.
"Why do you think so?" Xuanyuan Qinghe was surprised, and thought to himself, "Why does Li Xiaoran think about this problem so much?" ”
"No, it's just a blind thought, just a blind thought!" Li Xiaoran didn't know why he had such an idea, anyway, he would say whatever he thought, and his personality was the same.
Gradually, everyone stopped talking, and they all slowly became tired in the process of chatting, and gradually fell asleep.
Ning County itself was not far away, and after more than a dozen hours, the carriage slowly stopped.
Xuanyuan Qinghe also woke up from his dream, rubbed his eyes with his hands tiredly, opened the curtain, and saw a scene of rice fields.
Xuanyuan Qinghe was very puzzled and said, "Is this Ning County a rice field?" Have we reached this point? ”
Chen Wei drove the carriage for a few hours, and gradually became sleepy, and after yawning, he said very tiredly: "Even if you arrive, this is already very close to the county seat, and this is considered a rice field in the suburbs." ”
"Oh." Xuanyuan Qinghe also understood, and turned his head to wake up Li Xiaoran, who was sleeping.
Just as he was about to start, a voice came, "What do you want to do?" ”
Li Xiaoran had already woken up, but he was angry and didn't want to move.
"I didn't wake you up, but when you go out and have a look, the scenery here is beautiful." Xuanyuan Qinghe said with great embarrassment, at this time, I can't wait to find a hole to drill into.
Li Xiaoran jumped out of the carriage, and every time he moved, his body made a clicking sound, probably because he hadn't exercised for too long, Li Xiaoran was going to do a set of broadcast gymnastics to exercise himself.
Xuanyuan Qinghe suddenly saw Li Xiaoran dancing in front of him, and his dancing movements were also very stiff, so he wondered, "Why are you dancing at this time?" ”
"Exercise!" Li Xiaoran didn't want to explain more, and only after completing a set of things did he start to observe the current place.
The harvest had already begun, and there were many people working in the rice fields with a hat in the scorching sun.
At this time, there happened to be a man carrying a basket with a flat pole, and he came over, and saw that there were several people in front of each carriage.
He put down the basket and asked expectantly, "Would you like to buy some?" My watermelons here are all fresh! ”
"Uncle, this watermelon looks good, wrap one for me, are you from Ning County?" Chen Wei began to ask deliberately by buying watermelons.
Before Xuanyuan Qinghe and Li Xiaoran could react, Chen Wei had already started to ask, Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Qinghe couldn't help but say at the same time: "It's worthy of being an old man, the routine has already begun!" ”
"yes, I'm a local local." After wrapping a watermelon and handing it to Chen Wei, the old man said very happily.
"That's a good feeling, we're going to go to Ning County for a few days, how is your harvest this year?" Chen Wei asked with ease like an old driver.
"That's it, it's been so hot this year, many of them have died of drought, and some don't even have a water source."
The old man looked at the watermelon in his basket, sighed very helplessly, and said very hard, even in his tone, he could feel the helplessness.
