Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Day of Leaving Home Becomes More and More Timid
Further north from the Long River, there is only less than one-third of the Grand Canal left, and the vehicles and boats are known for their speed, and Murong Qian is already cold when he sees the sky, and he is afraid that there will be ice when a heavy snow falls, which makes the soldiers speed up.
Although the shock of that day has not completely subsided, when I think about it, I always feel like I have a ridiculous dream: when he left, his expression was actually very calm, as if he just came in and said "Have you eaten"!
It's just that that nightmare is not so easy to put aside, every time she sees the figures of those guards on the deck, Luo Yan will feel a pain in her heart, reminding her: There was once a woman who liked to wear military uniforms the most, and she could no longer appear in the team of guards.
Although the newspaper has basically been read, she still asks Yao Chufan to give herself a half-day class every day, and asks about Dayan's transportation, book industry, printing, education, speech, etc., only then do I know that Dayan's atmosphere is indeed open, and Yan Taizu has set the ancestral system: you can't say killing. Later, although the emperor who was mad by the imperial history broke this case twice, the students in Taixue, Fuxue, and County Schools had to discuss national policies on weekdays, and they often talked about state affairs in restaurants and tea shops.
In terms of transportation, Yan Taizu rebuilt the Grand Canal, the most important project, is to build a postal road in thousands of counties in the country, and set up a special mail car fast horse, the imperial court news can generally reach most of the states and counties within four or five days, now the postal road is also a commercial road, Dayan business is prosperous, Judah Dali. Legend has it that when the founding of the country there was a thick stack of newspapers, but in the long run, it cost too much, and it was not as profitable for the treasury as the postal routes, and then it slowly became such a thin volume.
Luo Yan silently calculated, feeling that this expense was indeed a big problem - even in modern times, it is not easy to feed a newspaper, let alone in ancient times when there were no advertisements, no buying habits, and the cost of paper printing was surprisingly high! Otherwise, you have to be like Yan Taizu, with a lot of money thrown into it.
In addition to being melancholy, she gradually found that in addition to Qingqing becoming more silent among the people around her, Li's mother seemed to have a strange look at herself.
Qingqing has the same knot as herself, Luo Yan didn't have the courage to talk to her, but she still made up her mind to ask Li's mother - she couldn't ignore any abnormalities around her, this was a lesson that took two lives for her to learn.
In the afternoon of that day, Luo Yan broke away from Dzi and Xiaomeng, let Qingqing stay outside, sat on the bed and asked Li's mother softly, "Mom, what do you want to tell me?" ”
Mother Li hesitated for a long time before she said, "I heard that you got sick all the way because of the prince of An?" ”
Luo Yan was stunned: "Who said that?" ”
Mother Li sighed: "You don't care about this, you just tell me, yes or no." ”
Luo Yan was silent for a while and nodded. Li's mother clapped her hands and sighed: "How can this be done? How can you be your colt in this world? ”
Luo Yan was surprised: Mother Li used to praise him without words, why did she say this now, and she couldn't help blurting out: "What? Are you afraid of me gossiping? ”
"You are the princess of Dayan, you can do whatever you want, not to mention that there are guards on this ship, and you are the most strict-mouthed person, so what if someone says it? Who would dare to pick on you? I grew up watching that child, what can I be dissatisfied with him? There is only one thing, King An's Mansion is not a good place, where can you deal with those women? ”
Luo Yan smiled bitterly and lowered her head: when did she think about "dealing with" those women! But I heard Mother Li say again: "Especially Princess Na'an, she hasn't liked you since she was a child, if you are still the same as before, I don't worry, you open your princess's mansion by yourself, and you don't have to serve her, she may not be able to control you, but I only know that your illness this time is because of him!" You must know that the two of them are together either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind, princess, you have been a solid child since you were a child, and you are all heart-to-heart when you are good to people, I am afraid that if you really become the princess, you will be pinched by Princess An! ”
Luo Yan was shocked: Princess An, the mother of the Tai Yangfei, the woman who always has a cold face in her impression, she doesn't like herself? I only heard Li's mother sigh: "Princess An only has one son, the prince, and what kind of relationship does she have with the prince, can she be a good mother-in-law?" When I was in the capital, I heard that the wives and concubines of the prince were not in her hands, thinking that Yuwen Lanxin was her own niece, and if this was the case, how could she treat the princess well? ”
Luo Yan thought about it and remembered that Princess An was indeed at odds with King An, and the legend seems that King An found a woman when he was in the northwest, and later brought it back to the capital to make an outer room, so she went to the door and beat the woman to pieces. Later, because he left a son, King An found the woman's sister to take care of the child, but Princess An knew about it and knocked on the door again, but this time King An left his own soldiers to protect the house. After this time, somehow, King An bought another yard outside and simply moved outside to live. Thinking that he came to Shantai Yangfei since he was a child, he grew up with Princess Lengmian in the palace where he rarely saw the male host, no wonder he always had a cold face...... Princess An has the courage of a modern strong woman......
Seeing that Luo Yan was fascinated, Mother Li said: "Because the Holy Emperor pities her daughter, you can get preferential treatment when you come out, even if the big family is willing to be the master, princess, you have returned to Dayan, there are many young talents to choose from, what kind of can't you find?" Why do you need to go to the troubled waters of King An's Mansion? ”
Luo Yan smiled faintly and said in a low voice: "Mom, don't worry, I didn't want to wade into that troubled water." ”
Li's mother hurriedly said: "Don't you coax me? Luo Yan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Mom is right, I really can't be his daughter-in-law, how can I ask for this hardship?" You can rest assured. ”
Mother Li looked at her suspiciously, and felt that she didn't seem to be a fake, so she was relieved, and couldn't help but start sympathizing with the princess - he was sincere to the princess, but it was a pity that the family was too chaotic, otherwise in terms of background and character, he was really a good candidate for a horse.
On this day, the car and ship were anchored under the Tianjin wharf, turned into the North Canal in front, and walked another three hundred and sixty miles to the end point of Tongzhou wharf, which was only a little more than a day's journey, and Murong Qian began to prepare for the arrangements after arrival.
Luo Yan began to fidget, couldn't eat, couldn't read, couldn't sleep, and was worried that she would look bad, so she could only walk around the room, whether it was Tianzhu's soft words and persuasion or Xiao Meng's gags, it didn't work.
Murong Qian was shocked, and came to watch it twice, Luo Yan could only say to him pitifully: "I'm afraid." Murong Qian was helpless, so he asked Wen Qingyuan to come over and give her an acupuncture, Wen Qingyuan's technique was really wonderful, and Luo Yan fell asleep soon after using the needle.
Who knew that Luo Yan slept until midnight, but woke up, only to feel that the ship seemed to be still sailing, and when she asked Qingqing, she knew that Murong Qian was afraid that it would be too late to arrive at the dock tomorrow, so he ordered the ship to anchor in the middle of the night and go to Tongzhou in the morning. Luo Yan felt as if her heart had been hung up, so she could only put on her clothes and turn around twice, seeing that Qingqing was also disturbed and couldn't sleep, she felt sorry in her heart, so she had to go back to bed.
I had just laid down when I heard two taps on the door.
