Chapter 81: Stagnation (Third Watch)

Gu Yanzhang actually remembered her.

He "sent" the bracelet back, the whip flicked, in fact, it was just a hand, while he didn't want to do more contact, and he didn't know how much the little girl liked this action, and when he saluted, he realized that the matter had been over, and he went to find Ji Qingling.

When he looked back, sure enough, the carriage at home stopped and waited for him.

Ji Qingling lifted the curtain of the car, looked here, and asked while looking at it, "What's wrong?" ”

Jixian County is all dirt roads, this autumn day, it is dry and dry, the wheels of the carriage are rolling, and there is dust everywhere, Gu Yanzhang Yanzhang hurriedly stepped forward, got closer, and said to Ji Qingling, who stretched out his head: "A little thing, it's already good, you hide your head in it, it's all dust outside, be careful of choking." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to lower the curtain of the cart.

Ji Qingling had already crossed his hand and saw the carriage behind him.

She was in this light, and she saw a girl sitting in the carriage, holding the curtain with one hand and the window frame with the other, staring at Gu Yanzhang blankly, her eyes couldn't tell what it meant, it only made people look very uncomfortable.

She hurriedly held the curtain, refusing to let Gu Yanzhang put it down, and whispered: "Fifth brother, that girl has been looking at you." ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "It's okay, it's the girl in Mr. Houzhai's family, her bracelet has fallen, I have helped her pick it up and return it - I'm afraid that the bracelet doesn't weigh a pound, are you even fashionable for a while?" ”

There was some doubt in his tone, obviously a little puzzled that someone would wear such a pound of bracelets.

Ji Qingling was also confused when he heard this, shook his head, and said, "I haven't heard of this style being fashionable recently...... I'm afraid there's something special about it? ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "With what is special about him, if you want to wear less of these in the future, your hands will be broken." ”

Ji Qingling nodded and agreed, but he didn't know what to think, and suddenly smiled: "I will make one for you in the future, wear it on your hand, and practice your wrist strength?" ”

Gu Yanzhang smiled low and said, "You are poor, don't put the curtain down quickly, and you are not afraid of eating dust!" ”

Ji Qingling hurriedly responded, only to put down the curtain for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then gently opened a corner, and looked sideways, sure enough, the girl still looked at Gu Yanzhang, and even her posture did not change.

She looked at the other party's eyes carefully, but she felt that she couldn't say anything, so she called out to Qiu Shuang, who was sitting next to her, and said, "Look at the one in the carriage behind." ”

Qiu Shuang leaned over, looked at it for a while, and said, "Why does she keep staring at our young master?" It's like my own stuff has run away. ”

Ji Qingling was stunned, a thought flashed in his mind, and before he could catch it, Qiu Yue, who was cleaning up his things, had already hurriedly interrupted: "What nonsense is the child talking about!" "I also went to look at it with a probe.

She has been thinking about it for a while, and she has been looking at these two masters all the time, lest there be any problems, and she will only exhaust herself half to death. Seeing the woman's expression at this time, he quickly saw that nine times out of ten he was admiring, for fear that if he said it, Ji Qingling would reflect on his body, and hurriedly said: "No, I guess I want to say thank you, but I didn't have time, so I just watched it back." ”

And he said, "The dust is so big, let's put the curtain on it and don't open it again." ”

After finishing speaking, he asked Ji Qingling about some things again and diverted the topic.

When the group arrived at Liu's house, they replaced the wine with tea, said goodbye, and went out of the north gate and set foot on the way home.

Gu Yanzhang hired four dart masters, and made meticulous arrangements, everyone walked and stopped, because it was the end of autumn, the weather was gradually getting cooler, but it was not too hard to walk.

Although there are only more than ten people this time, there are often many problems between the road, everything in the world is easy to say, and there will always be twists and turns when it is really done, even if you live in a store, you often can't arrange it, eat a meal, and occasionally can't catch it, and you may not be able to get together every day to stay on the road, and sometimes you have to wait for three or two days for the boat.

Gu Yanzhang was a little busy at the beginning, but after two or three days, he gradually became familiar with it, and later, he didn't need to be mentioned by the dart master, and he did it very properly.

Ji Qingling took advantage of the road to ask many of the contents of his previous transfer regulations into questions, and did not answer, only asked him to think about it himself. Gu Yanzhang did and thought, and sure enough, he added and changed a lot of the manuscript of that transfer later, and he was more experienced in the things of traveling, so he didn't mention it.

In the blink of an eye, when they arrived at the boundary of Hezhou, everyone stopped in a small town, because of a few rainstorms, the boat could not go, and the official road was also closed, Gu Yanzhang found an inn to arrange for everyone to stay, and sent someone to inquire about the situation, and got the news that it was necessary to rest for at least five or six days, and only when the rain stopped and the water receded could the boat be sailed, as for the official road, it was necessary to wait for the Yamen to reopen the road before leaving-I don't know which day and night.

The nearby official road has an alias, called Mindao, also called Xiaoguandao. Because there is also an official road in the west of Hezhou City, there is a pavilion post on it, and all the officials go there, this one is only walked by ordinary people, and in the past, whenever something went wrong, the yamen had to wait at least three or five days before reacting.

When I asked ten people, eight of them said that it was better to take a boat back to the state city, and take the official road from there, although there were some detours, but they would not be blocked halfway.

After getting this news, the rain still does not stop, although it is not pouring, but it never stops, and it is also windy, and it seems even more miserable and bitter, not to mention walking, it is difficult to go out.

Since this is the case, I simply don't rush to leave.

Gu Yanzhang told Ji Qingling about the situation, and said: "Although there is nothing interesting nearby, I just have a good rest for a while, I haven't taken a serious rest all the way, and I don't know if you are tired or not, if there is anything bad on weekdays, I don't say it anymore, it just makes me feel at ease." ”

Ji Qingling shook his head and said, "I'm not tired." He added, "I sat in the carriage for a long time, so I got down and ran the horse, but I was in a hurry, and I didn't need to use my brain, unlike you, people are also tired, and I have to make some trips." ”

The two were talking, and Xiao Er, who was standing aside for tea, listened for a long time, and then interjected: "The guest officer is going west?" If you wait for two more days, if it is in previous years, the official road will be blocked, and no one will take care of it for ten days and half a month, but this year is different, Yanzhou is mobilizing troops, and our lord has a brother in Hezhou to do transshipment, I heard that Jinghu and Guangnan's Xiang army has been on the road these days, and it will pass by in a moment. ”

After he finished speaking, he persuaded again: "There is a strange place in our territory, we prefer winter rain, according to this, there are no seven or eight days, and the boat will not be able to move, it is better to take the small official road to be safe." ”
