Chapter 243: Extra One
Ten years later!
On the official road to and fro, a spacious and luxurious carriage drove steadily and unhurriedly, Lian Jin closed his eyes and sat in the carriage, this time he returned to his hometown and relatives, and Lian Jin's mind kept recalling the past.
Speaking of which, his mother's heart is really big.
Leaving him alone in the capital for ten years, he didn't want him at all, and he didn't say anything to come to see him, Lian Jin helplessly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, Okay, if his mother doesn't come to see him, then he will come to visit his mother in person.
Lian Jin looked at the gifts piled up in the carriage that were taller than others, and asked the guards who were driving the carriage, "Huo Yi, where are you now?" ”
Huo Yi replied: "If you go back to the waiting master, you will reach the boundary of Zhongshan County after walking for four hours, son, are you tired of sitting in the car?" There's a tea room in front of you, why don't we go there for a tea break? ”
"It's okay, I'm a little thirsty, so let's stop and rest." Lian Jin agreed.
"Okay." Huo Yi drove the carriage to the side of Cha Liao, and instructed the boss of Cha Liao: "Shopkeeper, come with two bowls of your good tea." ”
The boss of Cha Xiao has been selling tea on this official road for several years, and he can naturally see which people are in business and which people are from the government, and this handsome boy who got off the carriage is extraordinary, and at a glance he knows that he is a noble person among the nobles, and the boss of Cha Xiao personally made a pot of good tea to receive him, "This son, this is the best fragrant tea in the old decay tea, the son tastes it, but can you still enter it?" ”
Lian Jin was just about to pick up the bowl, Huo Yi stopped him, the master is outside, he naturally has to be careful with his diet, he hasn't tested the poison yet, Lian Jin shook his head at Huo Yi, Huo Yi is not good to stop the master again, he knows the master's martial arts, and the person who can harm him is not born yet.
"When I first tasted it, I had a feeling of fragrance, and when I tasted it carefully, there was sweetness, boss, what kind of tea are you? Is it sold? Lian Jin took a sip, he liked the taste of tea very much, such a good tea, he bought some for his mother to taste.
"It's good if Childe likes it." The boss of the tea knows that this noble man can get used to his fragrant tea, he has opened tea on this official road, and naturally there is a good tea in the pressure compartment to entertain the nobles with extraordinary status, and the boss of the tea heard that the nobleman wanted to buy tea, so he asked: "The old man this fragrant tea costs three taels of silver a catty, how much does the son want to buy?" ”
"Give me ten pounds." Even Jin said without frowning.
"Childe, wait a minute." The boss of Cha Xiao was overjoyed, on this official road, once you meet a nobleman, you can earn money that others can't earn in a year, "The old man will go back to his home and give it to his son." ”
The boss of the tea room instructed Xiao Er, and then went back to get the tea happily.
Huo Yi was not happy, and said in a low voice: "Childe, you have bought a lot of things all the way from the capital, and our carriage is almost unloaded." ”
"What? I can't buy some good things for my mother? Lian Jin didn't care if the carriage was loaded or not, he really couldn't fit it, couldn't he hire another carriage?
"But you're buying too much." Ten catties of tea, how long does the Moon Princess have to drink?
I always heard Hou Ye talk about his mother Princess Yue, Huo Yi was full of curiosity, I heard that ten years ago, the emperor's position was originally recommended by Hou Ye's father, but the Moon Princess died and refused, and finally everyone pushed the Moon Princess's brother to the throne, speaking of this Moon Princess is really a strange person, not greedy for power, would rather go to the countryside with her husband to farm, than live in the capital.
The emperor was able to quell the war in just a few years, and the princess of the moon accounted for a lot of credit, if it wasn't for the princess of the moon to teach everyone to use oil film paper to farm, how could the current peaceful and prosperous world?
The credit of the Moon Princess is really indispensable.
"Is it much?" Lian Jin didn't think, "I haven't seen my mother for ten years, and I don't know what my mother likes and doesn't like, so I buy more and let my mother pick it herself, isn't it good?" ”
"It's good, but the amount of money that Gongzi bought is too much, for example, tea, Gongzi buys three or five catties is enough, ten catties, do you want Princess Yue not to drink other tea, just drink this tea?" Huo Yi reminded.
Lian Jin thought of his mother's personality, and smiled: "You don't know my mother, she has good things, and she likes to share them with others, ten catties, I don't know if it's enough." ”
Huo Yi was speechless, no wonder Hou Ye bought so much, and these gifts he bought in a hurry were to let his mother share them with others, well, he was too talkative.
"Here comes the tea." The boss of Cha Xiao carried ten catties of tea leaves, and he was sweating profusely, "Ten catties, no more, no less." ”
Lian Jin gestured to Huo Yi, Huo Yi took out thirty taels of silver to Cha Liao's boss, and politely saluted and thanked Cha Liao: "It's hard work." ”
"Ouch, this son, you are too polite, I can't stand it, I can't stand it." If the boss of Cha Xiao hadn't been held up by Huo Yi, he would have been so scared that he would have knelt down and returned the salute.
Earned other people's silver, people are still so polite, the boss of Cha Xiao has never seen such a kind nobleman in his life, in order to be grateful, the boss of Cha Xiao ordered Xiao Er who poured water: "Fourth son, take two plates of milk cake for this son to taste." ”
"Here we are." Xiao Er hurriedly brought the dim sum that the shopkeeper wanted.
When Lian Jin heard the words milk crisp cake, his brows moved, and his eyes were full of smiles.
"Childe, you try this, this is also a characteristic of old and decayed tea, do you think it tastes good." The boss of Cha Yu highly recommended.
"I don't have to taste it, I know how delicious this snack is." Lian Jin took a piece of golden milk cake, and his heart drifted far away.
Huo Yi didn't understand, and asked, "Childe, you haven't tasted it, how do you know it's delicious?" ”
"Because this milk shortbread was made by my mother, and later ...... "Niang's milk shortbread recipe was stolen by his own mother and told the third daughter-in-law of Liu's mansion how much her mother suffered in order to get together a hundred taels of silver for his mother-in-law."
His mother, Lian Jin sighed, if his mother kept to himself, he would treat her well and let her live for a long time, but she was ......
"This snack was made by the Moon Princess?" Huo Yi exclaimed: "Then I have to taste it." ”
One bite down, it's really sweet, so delicious, Huo Yizhi nodded, "I didn't expect Madame to be so good at making dim sum." ”
"Not only dim sum, my mother's fried dishes are even more delicious, when we arrive, my mother will definitely make a table of delicious food, and you will be blessed by then." Lian Jin eats milk pastry.
This milk shortbread is delicious, but it lacks the taste of his mother's cooking.
"As soon as Childe said this, his subordinates really couldn't wait to eat the food cooked by Mrs. soon." Huo Yiba said with a smack.
When the boss of Cha Xiao heard this, he quietly retreated, this milk crisp cake was learned from others at a great price, since the child's mother would make this snack, it was meaningless for him to give it to him.
"In that case, then after we finish eating, you can hurry up." Lian Jin hadn't eaten his mother's food for ten years, and he was even more homecoming.
"It's not that I don't want to be fast, Childe, you bought so many things, some of them are fragile items, if I drive the car quickly, what if I shatter Childe's heart for Mrs. Huo Yi said helplessly.
"Okay, don't worry about these two days." Lian Jin can't do anything, it's true that there are too many things.
If he hadn't prepared a lot of things for his mother, he and Huo Yi would have ridden directly, and it would have been a three-day journey from the capital to Miaoshan Village.
"Childe, I'll put the tea in the carriage, and let's go." Huo Yi finished eating the milk crisp cake and took a sip of tea.
"Hmm." Lian Jin nodded and put a tael of silver on the table.
Not long after the carriage traveled, Huo Yi saw that the wheel of a carriage on the side of the road was broken, and Miss Yi was very anxious and wanted to take the carriage back and forth, but she couldn't open her mouth.
"This girl." Huo Yi and Lian Jin have been with Lian Jin for a long time, and they have long been enthusiastic, and they can't see others in trouble, so after stopping the carriage with a sigh, they said, "The girl is in a hurry?" ”
"Yes, I'm going to pick up my aunt, but the hired carriage is broken, and the master who drove the horse said to find a wheel, but he hasn't come back yet, and I don't know if he will leave me alone." The girl who spoke said worriedly.
"Probably not, my Dalin Kingdom is now strict in governing the law, and the business is even more undeceiving, and the master who drove the car actually accepted the girl's silver, and he will be responsible for it to the end, and he will not deceive the girl." If it weren't for the emperor's strict law, how could a girl's family dare to go out alone now?
"It's me who lost my word." The girl saluted Huo Yi and said, "It's just that I'm really in a hurry, and when the master arrives, I'm afraid it's going to be dark." ”
"Girl, where are you going?" Huo thought that this girl was really anxious, and it was just this official road, just by the way, so he made the main plan to send the girl to the county town in front, and then help the girl hire a carriage.
The girl looked at the carriage behind Huo Yi and said, "I'm going to Miaoshan Village in Zhongshan County." ”
"Miaoshan Village?" Huo Yi laughed, "It's really fate, we also went to Miaoshan Village, just along the way, if the girl doesn't dislike it, let's go with my son-in-law." ”
"You guys are also going to Miaoshan Village?" The girl was a little incredulous, "Your carriage looks like it belongs to a big family, how can you go to the remote Miaoshan Village?" ”
Lian Jin raised the corners of his mouth in the carriage and walked out of the carriage: "Huo Yi, let the girl come up." ”
"Girl, please!" Huo Yi asked the girl to get into the carriage.
"This? How embarrassing is this, if I get in the car, your son-in-law he? The girl's face flushed, "Am I not the one who is the leader?" I'm still waiting here for the horse driver. ”
"It's the same road, no defense, the girl doesn't have to be polite with you." Lian Jin bowed slightly to the girl and said, "It's just that there are a lot of things in the carriage, and the girl is invited to sit down." ”
"But if I sit in, then the son will take the car, I ...... I really can't help it. Seeing that Lian Jin was so handsome and polite, the girl was even more nervous.
"It's okay, my son-in-law is a military person, what's it to take a car, the girl will get in the car." Huo Yi made a gesture of please.
It is said that it is difficult to be gracious, no matter how embarrassed the girl is, seeing the two sons like this, it is not good to postpone it again, "Thank you so much." ”
The master who drove the horse left a person to take care of the horses, and Lian Jin went over to explain his identity to the man: "I am Lianjin of Miaoshan Village, since the girl is on the same road with me, I will walk with her, and your master is here, let him go to the post station two miles away to report." ”
"The villain knows." The man looked at Lian Jin's paper disc and nodded.
Everyone in Dalin Kingdom has a document to prove their identity, and the disc seal is reported in the county government according to the different seals of each family, so that if someone does something illegal, the yamen will quickly solve the case.
I don't know who thought of this, a few years ago, Dalin Country was quite chaotic, and in the past two years, Dalin Country has not closed its doors at night.
"Thank you." Lian Jin hugged his fists at the man, got into the carriage, and said to Huo Yi, "Let's go." ”
Huo Yi hurried to the carriage lane: "Eh, Childe, if you send your document to someone to report, you are not afraid of causing trouble for yourself?" ”
Lian Jin said with a smile: "Now the county magistrate of Zhongshan County is the former village chief of Miaoshan Village, if I close the door and don't see guests, my village chief will naturally not let people bother me." ”
"Oh?" Huo Yi was curious: "Then who is the current head of Miaoshan Village?" ”
"My dad." Lian Jin smiled deeply.
"I see." Huo Yi shook his head with a smile, the dignified founder of the country, a first-class military candidate, actually unloaded his armor and returned to the field to become the village chief in Miaoshan Village, who would believe it.
"If it weren't for my uncle's strict supervision of me and forbidding me to leave, in fact, I would have wanted to stay in Miaoshan Village and be a village chief." Lian Jin smiled and said.
Huo Yi moved his lips, because he was looking at the girl in the carriage, Huo Yi swallowed back what he wanted to ask, he really didn't understand, is Miaoshan Village really that good?
The emperor has issued several holy decrees every year, Princess Xuanyue and Hou Ye enter the palace to get together, Princess Yue and Hou Ye return every year is a sentence, Miaoshan Village is very good, the emperor should not read it.
Every time the emperor saw this, he blew his beard angrily and glared, sighing that he had become the emperor and lost his relatives.
I heard that when Princess Yue insisted on going back to Miaoshan Village, the emperor couldn't stop him, so he took Gongzi in the capital, who knew that for ten years, Princess Yue just didn't go to the capital to visit Gongzi, others thought that Princess Yue had the emperor to be angry, but Huo Yi could see that whenever the emperor and Gongzi mentioned this Moon Princess, they were spoiled and helpless.
The carriage traveled to the entrance of Miaoshan Village, Lian Jin jumped out of the carriage, looked at Miaoshan Village in a sea of flowers, and took a deep breath of the fragrance of flowers in the air.
"Wow? It's so beautiful, it's a paradise. Seeing this scene, Huo Yi finally understood why Princess Yue didn't live in the capital and settled here.
"Let's go." Lian Jin couldn't wait to see his mother, called Huo Yi, and strode towards his house, and when he saw someone he knew on the way, Lian Jin would say hello, aunt, uncle, and uncle all the way.
But everyone didn't recognize him, and looked at Lian Jin's back and wondered: "Whose child is this?" ”
"I don't know." Someone shook his head, "But this kid is really handsome, and I don't know whose descendants it is." ”
"Wouldn't you just go along and have a look?" Tie Niu's daughter-in-law was curious to see who this handsome queen was looking for.
Lian Hao put the food on the table, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Pingping, An'an, it's time to eat." ”
