Zheng looked at Du Jun worriedly, "What did Xu Xiucai do yesterday?" ”。

Du Jun smiled, shook his head, and didn't speak.

Zheng sighed and said, "You really decided to get out of the marriage?" Is there no other way? ”。

Du Jun nodded, "Mother, I just tell you that Xiucai has other women outside, and I saw this with my own eyes, so I will never marry that Xiucai."

Zheng turned around and wiped the corners of her eyes, this girl is stubborn, she hasn't changed what she decided, forget it, she can retreat if she wants to, maybe what's going on here? I didn't see my mother's face change, but it's just that it's so difficult for this girl to marry someone

Xu family

When Xu's mother returned home, she found her son.

"Li Feng, tell me, why does this Du Jun want to withdraw from the marriage? She also asked me to come back and ask you about the grove at noon yesterday, you just came back yesterday, did you really go to the grove at noon? What's the matter with where to go! ”

Xu Xiucai sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, shocked, "She understands, she knows everything, but what does it matter!" ”。

With a "snap", he smashed the porcelain pillow at hand.

Not to mention Du Jun's words, provoked the Xu family and Zhao Lichang's family, according to the agreed time, Du Junchen arrived at the county seat of Anxian County, and after meeting with the shopkeeper Tong in Wangjiang Pavilion, he went west to Mingyuan City.

Du Jun has seen the description of Mingyuan City from various books, as the largest city in Dazhou, and also the seat of the state capital, with a resident population of 400,000, plus the city is close to the Hengshui River, the shipping routes extend in all directions, plus the business travel from the south to the north, the actual population can reach 500,000. Don't underestimate these 500,000, this is different from modern times, the number of people in ancient times itself was small, and the mobility was poor, and if it could reach this scale, it was already the second largest city in the Great Xia Dynasty.

And Du Jun's Anxian County belongs to one of the two counties under the jurisdiction of Mingyuan, and the other three cities in Dazhou are Qingshi City, Tiandao City, and Baichao City.

The Tong family consists of a family of four, two husband and wife, two children, and a son and a daughter. The boy Tong Wendong is 12 years old this year, and the girl Yafei is 9 years old this year, both of whom are innocent, lively and active.

Aunt Tong is slightly younger than Zheng's, gentle and elegant, and can be seen to have a good upbringing, a typical lady, with lotus steps and a toothless smile.

After the two families greeted each other, they climbed into their carriage. There are three carriages in Mingyuan City this time, Du Jun's house, and Tong's shopkeeper's house, and the rest of the carriages are loaded with Tong's shopkeeper's luggage.

Compared with Du Jun's calmness, Zhao Yan, Zhao Xiu, and Zhao Jia's three younger sisters chattered all the way, looking at the scenery and people's feelings, even the eldest Zheng couldn't resist the seduction of their daughters, and frequently looked out of the car window, like birds flying back to the forest, even if they were looking at familiar fields, farmers with hoes, and trees with fallen leaves, their eyes became blurred. The mood is different, and everything you see becomes vivid and beautiful.

Looking at these familiar faces and listening to the joyful laughter, Du Jun also began to have expectations for Mingyuan City, would that be what is depicted in the book? What would a real and huge ancient city look like?

The road is all official roads, relatively flat, at noon found a roadside restaurant, the two families slowly began to get acquainted, Ya Fei pestered Zhao Xiu to tell stories, Wen Dong because of Zhao Yan's mouth, knew that Du Jun would martial arts, and also pestered Du Jun to teach him stick method, Du Jun couldn't, simply taught a few tricks, the rest of the time you can see Wen Dong holding a stick and keep practicing, this child, can see that it is really a material for practicing martial arts, in one day, the dance of those moves is quite similar.

Sister-in-law Tong was grateful to Du Jun and sent a lot of snacks from Anxian County, looking at the two large bags of dry food beside her, she was stunned, Zheng frowned, if you eat like this, do you want to take it back? So for the rest of the way, I kept hearing Zheng's voice.

"Xiu, you ate this cake"

"Mother, I really can't eat it"

"Zhao Jia, don't forget to eat the eggs your mother brought you"

"Auntie, you spare me, I just ate oranges, I really can't eat them anymore"

"If you don't eat it, you can't do it, or it's going to be spoiled, I'll keep it for the big strong brothers"

In this way, I walked all the way, ate all the way, on the nineteenth day of the lunar month, at the beginning of the Shen period, I saw a huge city in the distance, crawling on a plain, which seemed even more severe and cold.

"Ming..... ...... Yuancheng", Zhao Xiu squinted at the giant thing in the distance for a while, and said slowly.

With the movement of the carriage, this giant city was slowly unveiled in front of everyone, and the black city wall more than ten feet high, and the moss that refutated, showed the long history of this Mingyuan. There are three gates at the city gate, the middle gate is closed, and the two small gates next to it are slightly smaller, so it seems that they should be used for entering and exiting the city. Now that the sky has begun to turn dark, and there are few people entering the city, Du Jun and the others soon arrived at the city gate.

"What do you do? Where did it come from? What are you doing in Mingyuan? A middle-aged city gate guard glanced at Shopkeeper Tong and Du Jun, and asked lazily.

"Big brothers, I am the shopkeeper of Yufu, these are my family and guests of Yufu, and I came back for the New Year this time." The shopkeeper Tong was shy, arched his hand, and sent a few people's road guides.

"Oh! It's the shopkeeper of Yufu who is back, it's hard work, let's go into the city. When the middle-aged guard heard the words Yu Fu, his face changed, and he immediately became respectful, looked at Lu Yin casually, bent down and smiled.

Just an ordinary foreign shopkeeper of Yufu can make the people guarding the city change their faces, indicating that Yufu has a very high status in Mingyuan City, since the crossing, all the people at the bottom have been encountered, and the biggest official is the Song Jiang Song who has a good impression of her, and the next days will face this ancient family, Du Jun has a trace of apprehension in his heart.

After paying the entrance fee, a group of people really entered this big city, the eye is a wide road, a large piece of bluestone paving, can allow three carriages to pass in parallel, shops on both sides of the street, all kinds of plaques are scattered, most of the passers-by's costumes are mainly muslin, the demeanor is serene, each of them is different, and the buildings of Anxian County are different, this side is mainly wood, supplemented by bricks and tiles, but most of them are not very big.

The shopkeeper Tong has his own house in Mingyuan, Du Jun repeatedly declined the invitation to be a guest at home, and asked Da Zhuang to find a big inn and an independent courtyard, there are too many women, or safety first and protect yourself.

I asked the store to feed some forage to the jujube red horse, and brought dinner and hot water. After sitting in the carriage for two days, they were very tired, so they washed and slept, and tomorrow they went to Yufu to be the destination of this trip.
