Extraordinary: A Journey (2)

Two newlyweds whispered in the carriage.

Yin Xiaoxiao rode a horse and galloped forward, hunting with the sound of the wind in her ears.

How long has it been since there has been such arbitrariness?

In the past ten years, Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi have really treated her generously, and the mother and son have lived in the palace and have good food and clothing. There was no one to restrain her every move.

However, she knows how to be measured, and she is quite cautious in her words and deeds, so she doesn't want to be tongue-in-cheek. Second, he didn't want to cause trouble to Xie Mingxi and his wife.

She set all kinds of rules for herself and bound herself.

Today, after leaving the capital, the invisible shackles on my body have been completely opened. The whole person is indescribably relaxed and happy. Even the air in the mouth is exceptionally fresh.

Yin Xiaoxiao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the corners of her mouth rose higher and higher, as if she had returned to the girlhood years when she had said goodbye.

The soldiers who followed behind also rode their horses so as not to be left behind.

The speed of the carriage was much smoother and slower. Fortunately, there is only one official road to Fujian, and it will not take a fork in the road.

……

In this way, after traveling for most of the day, I arrived at a post house to rest when it was dark.

In addition to a dozen carriages, there were also hundreds of strong guards riding horses and swords tied around their waists. The inn, which is not a big one, was suddenly packed.

After knowing the identities of everyone, Yi Cheng did not dare to slack off, and immediately cleaned up the three best rooms in the post house. A group of personal guards camped around the post house to rest.

Brother Ting and Brother Lin went to Yin Xiaoxiao's house together and had dinner with Yin Xiaoxiao.

Eight dishes, both meat and vegetarian, each plate is full of bubbling tips. The taste is not exquisite, and it is barely in the mouth.

Brother Lin and Brother Ting were used to eating delicate and delicious dishes, and they both frowned at this time, looking unhappy: "This dish doesn't taste good." ”

"Isn't it? It's really unpalatable. Tomorrow, let the chef we bring with us cook for ourselves. ”

Mei Yun and Liu Yan are actually not used to eating, but they are just embarrassed to say it. After eating a few bites each, they put their chopsticks aside.

Yin Xiaoxiao's appetite was very good, and she ate two bowls in a row before putting down her chopsticks. Then Zhengse said: "Walking around is like this, food and clothing are not as good as usual." You have to adapt as soon as possible, don't just open your mouth and complain. ”

The two brides answered softly.

Brother Lin also nodded.

Brother Ting'er was straightforward: "Just complain a few words casually, there are no outsiders here, can it still be passed on?" Don't say it can't be transmitted, even if it does, what can it do? ”

Yin Xiaoxiao glanced at Brother Ting'er, who looked disapproving: "If these words are transmitted back to the court, the imperial historians will immediately impeach you for the crime of 'resentment and dissatisfaction with the Son of Heaven'!" Don't forget, the matter of King Wuling committing suicide by poisoning has not yet been decided. The big guys put this account on your head. Don't you think you're eye-catching enough? ”

Brother Ting: "......"

In fact, they all knew that this was done by Brother Ji'er's mother and son. It's just that there is no conclusive evidence, and the emperor and queen have not torn their faces. only punished Brother Ji severely with practical actions. sent Brother Ji to the most remote and desolate place as a commander.

It can also be seen that the emperor and queen can't rub a grain of sand in their eyes.

Brother Ting immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "What the fifth aunt said is true." In the future, I won't talk nonsense. ”

Yin Xiaoxiao slowed down her voice: "You have been pampered since you were a child. Now when I leave Beijing and go to Fujian on an errand, I must be cautious in what I say and do, and I must not fall into the tongue of my tongue in everything. ”

The two brothers should go down together.

Yin Xiaoxiao was a little gentler towards her two daughters-in-law: "Mei's, Liu's, not long after you get married, you have to leave Beijing with your respective husbands." Thank you very much. ”

Liu Yan responded softly: "Husband and wife are one, with one heart and one mind, why not say hard." The fifth aunt said this, and the nephew and daughter-in-law would never dare to be it. ”

Mei Yun smiled and took the conversation: "Don't hide it from my mother-in-law, in fact, I am willing to go to Fujian." It's not interesting to stay in the capital all the time. I heard that Quanzhou is close to the sea, there are seaports and sea ships! I haven't seen the sea like yet! ”

Mei Yun has a lively temperament and loves to talk and laugh. Yin Xiaoxiao also likes this daughter-in-law very much, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about you, I haven't seen the sea either." When we arrived in Quanzhou, we went to see the sea by sea boat together. ”

Quanzhou has a seaport and sea trade, so there are also soldiers who are good at naval warfare in the Quanzhou garrison. Brother Lin went to Quanzhou to serve as the commander of the garrison, which was promising.

The same is true of Brother Ting's Fuzhou.

Young people's yearning for meritorious service is almost innate. The ancestors of the Sheng family have inherited generations of heroism, and they also flow in the blood of the two brothers.

Yin Xiaoxiao mentioned the sea and the harbor, and Brother Lin and Brother Ting immediately thought of the naval battle of the sea ship. Get together and have an eager discussion.

"When I arrive in Quanzhou, I must reorganize the navy and build more sea ships. Train a valiant navy to fight at sea. ”

"I thought the same. I heard that there are many pirates at sea, and when merchant ships go to sea, they are at risk of being robbed and killed by pirates. The people on the seaside are often disturbed by bandits, and their lives are not peaceful. When I go, I must put down the bandits! ”

"That's right!"

The more the two brothers talked, the more energetic they became.

Before getting married, it was common for the two brothers to chat until late at night. After getting married, they each had a newlywed wife, which was the time of strong love. When it was time to rest, they each stopped and led his wife back to the house.

……

The sons and daughters-in-law are gone, and the house is quiet.

After Yin Xiaoxiao washed up briefly, she fell asleep.

She has grown so big, and it is the first time she has left Beijing and walked so far. Yin Xiaoxiao was calm on the surface, but in fact, she was even more excited and excited than Brother Lin.

Riding a horse during the day is the most physically exhausting. At night, my head was on a pillow and I quickly fell asleep.

This night, Yin Xiaoxiao dreamed of the long-dead King of Min.

In the dream, King Min was still handsome when he was young, he walked up to her with a smile, held her hand, looked at her with dark eyes, and kept shouting her maiden name: "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao......"

What to shout!

It's been dead for so many years, and what to do in her dreams and shout her name!

Yin Xiaoxiao scolded angrily in her dream and kicked it over like in the past.

King Min was kicked and screamed in pain, but refused to leave, followed her closely, and continued to shout her name: "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, I have been thinking about you all these years." ”

She misses him too!

However, it is useless to think about it. He's all dead, and no matter how much she thinks about it, he won't survive. She had become accustomed to long and lonely nights, to sleeping alone, to being alone......

Yin Xiaoxiao rolled over, and a tear slipped from the corner of her closed eye.
