Chapter Seventy-Six: Three Watches

The carriage creaked and walked on the official road, Xu Qingfeng held the reins in his hand, driving the carriage, and his heart was mixed. A few days ago, he also drove a carriage down this official road and brought the three of them back to the barracks. Since that day, there has been more warmth in his medical clinic, and every day he looks forward to the rising of the sun, which represents the arrival of a new day, delicious meals, considerate laughter of children, and the days when children and grandchildren are around his knees.

Thinking in his heart, the road was bumpy, and he felt more and more bleak at night, but fortunately he still had Xiao Mozhu by his side, otherwise, he would really be lonely and old.

He originally thought that he had seen through life, old age, sickness, and death in the red dust, but he didn't expect that he was still a vulgar person, and it was difficult to detach himself!

"Alas......"

Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh.

"Doctor Xu, where are you going to send us?" The carriage drove all the way in the direction of Youzhou City, and Tang Haitang didn't understand where Xu Qingfeng planned to send them.

"In Youzhou City, a private residence of General Ma." Xu Qingfeng replied truthfully.

Tang Haitang understood that all this was arranged by Ma Xiaotian.

Ma Xiaotian once mentioned that he had a private house in Youzhou City, and he once wanted to send her to the private house.

looked at Xiao Cui who was following him, and then looked at Qian Yingying, who was still immersed in the joy of the reunion of father and daughter, these two people were sisters who had followed them all the way to endure hardships, and they were going to the Ma family's private house in Youzhou City with them at this moment.

She couldn't let the two of them wander around with her anymore, so she didn't say anything, and let the carriage drive away from Youzhou City.

She can be regarded as accepting Ma Xiaotian's arrangement, in order for her sisters to have a place to stay, she needs to accept it, although she thinks that this is Ma Xiaotian's charity, but there is no other way, she is almost penniless now, let's live for the time being, and then slowly think of a way.

The carriage soon entered Youzhou City, and the soldiers guarding the city checked the vehicles in accordance with the rules, and after the sneak attack of the post house general some time ago, the soldiers guarding the city were much more vigilant, and the inventory in and out of the city was more strict. So people who entered the city lined up in long lines, waiting to be checked.

Tang Haitang and the three of them got out of the carriage and joined the long queue outside the city gate, although Xu Qingfeng had the token to enter the city barracks, but it didn't work to enter the city, and he could only pull the carriage and line up with the crowd.

The soldiers checked very carefully, so the speed of the team was very slow, and it was not easy to find them, Xu Qingfeng showed his token, and the leader recognized the token that could pass in the barracks, and hurriedly let them go.

Xu Qingfeng turned around and pointed to the three Tang Haitang behind him, signaling that they were with him, the leader of the gate looked at the three of them, then looked at Xu Qingfeng, nodded to the soldiers behind him, and then let them walk into the city together.

"Isn't it peaceful in the city lately? How did you check so carefully? After getting back into the carriage and sitting down, Qian Yingying looked back at the inspection team that was still very long, and asked Xu Qingfeng very incomprehensibly.

"A few days ago, the barracks were poisoned, and the general was ambushed in the post house, and since that day, the defenders here have been strictly guarded, for fear that the bandits will enter the city again to make trouble. This is also for the sake of the safety of the people. Xu Qingfeng drove the car, holding the reins in his hand, and patiently explained to her unhurriedly.

Now that the city is more closely guarded, these girls are safer to live in the city. What's more, it's in the general's mansion again, and it is estimated that the general is also secretly sending people to guard, so it will be even safer and worry-free. Xu Qingfeng drove the carriage into the city from the east gate of the city according to the address given by Ma Xiaotian, and went west along the river that passed through the city, until he reached the center of the city.

The house was built on the shore, and there were houses on the left and right next to it, and the house next to Mafu was slightly larger than the size, and the roof was also a little bigger. In this way, the highest point in the vicinity is Mafu, and it is difficult to peek into the movement of Mafu from other houses. This is very well done in terms of secrecy.

The main gate of Mafu is just facing the river bank, the willows on the bank are still around, the river is not turbulent, the river that passes through the city, to here, the width between the two banks is about 20 meters wide. There is an arch bridge repaired in white jade stone on the west and east sides of Mafu, and the bridge deck is about 2 meters or more, and it is carved with simple patterns, without too gorgeous decoration. Two arch bridges span the river to connect the two banks to the traffic, making it easy for pedestrians and vehicles to pass. Most of the people living here are also large families, and they are far away from the city, so there are not many people coming and going on the bridge and the shore.

Tang Haitang likes the willows hanging down on the shore very much, sitting in the car and enjoying the scenery on both sides of the river, he can't help but think of the poem in his heart, his heart is happy, and he mutters in his mouth: "A tree has thousands of spring breezes, tender than gold and soft than silk"

Xiao Cui listened and asked in wonder, "Miss, where did the spring breeze come from now?" It's summer. ”

Qian Yingying laughed when she heard this, she was really amused by Xiao Cui's serious look, and looked at Xiao Cui with a smile and quipped: "Xiao Cui, your young lady is touching the scene, so she is poetic, so it doesn't matter if it's summer or spring." ”

Tang Haitang heard Qian Yingying joke about herself, so she also smiled back to her: "Yes, I am touching the scene, but you look at the willow branches on both sides of the strait, inextricably linked, dancing with the wind, is it cute?" ”

After speaking, he stretched out his lush and slender fingers and pointed to the willow trees on both sides of the bank for them to admire.

It's really as she said, just a gust of wind blows gently, the slender stay flutters with the wind, the wisps dance with the wind, I want to be softer than the wisps, so people describe the graceful posture of the woman when she walks for the willow waist, which is derived from the fluttering form of the willow branches, which is really a very beautiful and vivid description.

Looking at the graceful wicker dancing in front of him, Tang Xiaotang remembered a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Wen Tingjun, which was more appropriate to the picture described in the poem.

'The royal willow is like silk reflecting the ninefold, and the phoenix window is embroidered with hibiscus. Thousands of roads on the side of Jingyang Building, one side of Xinzhuang waiting for Xiaofeng. ’

However, she only thought silently in her heart, and didn't dare to say it casually, after all, it was not a dynasty, for fear of arousing the suspicion of Xu Qingfeng and Qian Yingying.

Enjoying the beautiful scenery, the car slowly stopped, Xu Qingfeng jumped out of the car first, went to the door to confirm, and then called the three people in the car to get out of the car, and Ma Fu arrived.
