Chapter 56: The Family Moves Out
Gentle traveled to the unknown ancient world, she didn't have any historical information in her mind for reference, only relying on the gossip news that she usually paid attention to and the information deliberately set out from the mouths of her family, she pieced together the general appearance of this world, knowing that this place was not completely unified, but was scattered into several small countries, and she was now in the strongest and most extensive country Dazhao.
It is said that Jokhang is located in the heart of this world, and it is surrounded by five other small states, Xuanguo, Yasukuni, Dingguo, Hengguo, and Qiguo. Although the strength of these countries is not as good as that of the Jokhang, they know the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so they each form alliances and marry each other, often one country is in trouble, and other countries will send troops to help, so the emperor of the Jokhang has been passed down for several generations, and the national policy of foreign aggression and expansion has been implemented for nearly a hundred years, but the desire to unify the world has not been realized.
However, Wen really has no interest in such political issues, as long as she knows that the country she lives in is the most powerful and stable, and that she can live a stable and comfortable life, and will not be displaced by the war, and this is enough.
The capital of Jokhang is called Taihe, and it is not too far from Yuanchang, the city where Wen Wen currently lives, hire a big car, bump on the road for three or four days, and it will arrive, but in the past few days when she has packed her bags, Wen's mother has been nagging in her ear, trying to dispel her daughter's idea of moving so far away.
Mother Wen has lived in Yuanchang City all her life, and even in the years when she was so poor that she could barely live, she never had the idea of leaving. The outside world is very far away for her, and people always have a special fear when facing the unknown, not to mention that she is living a comfortable life now, and she doesn't want to be in danger. It takes a lot of courage to go to a strange city, where you have almost nothing to start anew.
In the face of Mother Wen's broken thoughts, Wen Wen often laughs and does not speak, in fact, she understands very well that there is a big difference between her ideas and Mother Wen, in other words, the generation gap is serious, so she never thought of convincing Mother Wen, as long as she unswervingly implements her ideas, this is fine, although it is a bit domineering, but it is very effective.
However, Wen Gang and Xiaohuan, probably because they are young, are still full of longing for their future life, and they are very excited when they hear that they can go to live in the capital. These two children, after a few months of contact, are already very familiar with each other, when the work is finished, Xiaohuan is idle, and will go to see Wen Gang to practice words, occasionally grinding for him, or pointing to the words on the book to ask about the reading and meaning, but Wen Gang recognizes the words in fact there are few words at all, he is in the word, when it is really against the pro, even if he can't understand, he still writes in the same way, was asked by Xiaohuan to don't know the words, and embarrassed to admit that he doesn't understand, often vaguely take the words, the heart of the desire to know, But it was doubly stimulated.
Three days later, when they packed up their finesse and were about to hire a car to leave Yuanchang City, Wen Rou went to the old widow to settle the rent money, and in order to thank her for covering up for Xiaohuan last time, she paid an extra month's rent.
The old widow was very surprised to hear the news, after all, during the days of renting a house, she did something soft to eat, and never forgot to leave her a copy, Xiaohuan is an obedient and sensible child, and she has done a lot of work for her in private, so that her lonely heart for many years feels a little bit of warmth of being remembered and cared for.
After saying goodbye to the old widow, he looked back at the city that had been in the city for nearly half a year and left her with indelible memories, and gently climbed into the car hired by Wen Gang and headed for Taihe City.
What awaits her is an unknown life.
The mule cart had been on the road for a long day, and when it arrived at the town where it was scheduled to stay that night, Wen Rou found that his whole body was almost falling apart. This ancient road is really bumpy, you must know that they are still walking on the official road, they are all turned upside down like this, if they take the dirt road, it is estimated that they will not even be able to climb down the car.
There was only one inn in the town, crowded with passing travelers, fortunately, gentle luck was not bad, and finally two rooms were booked by her, although three people squeezed into a bed, it was really uncomfortable, but it was better than having no place to sleep. Just took a hot bath, cleaned up and went out of the room to eat in the lobby downstairs, she seemed to hear many guests talking about the floods in Yixian and Yunxian counties.
"I heard that the fields have been flooded, the houses have been washed down, and many people have died!"
"Those places are miserable! After the flood, there was a plague, and nine out of ten households were empty! ”
"Yes, I've met a lot of victims along the way! The city fillers along the way did not let them enter, for fear that there would be some riots to grab food. Poor thing! Quite a few people starved to death! ”
"There is a good official in Yunzhou City, I heard that the warehouse was opened for grain relief, and a few cauldrons were set up outside the city, and the soup was given day and night. There are also some kind-hearted rich families who also made cotton clothes to protect against the cold and took them outside the city to give alms to the victims. ”
"A good heart is a good heart, but in my opinion, he can't be an official in Yunzhou City for long! The official food of the imperial court does not have the will of the saints, is it easy to move? ”
"In this world, good officials don't have a good life, but corrupt officials are rising step by step!"
"Don't talk about state affairs! Don't talk about state affairs! We, the common people, how can we be in charge of being officials? Let's live a good life! ”
When everyone who was talking about this heard this, they all sighed and went to eat their own food silently, but after being quiet for a long time, they began to talk to each other again about the gossip news they had heard and witnessed.
"Sister, why don't you eat?" Wen Gang was stunned when he saw Wen Rou stop chopsticks, and unconsciously looked up and said, "But the food in this inn is really unpalatable, and I am willing to gnaw on the dry food you made." ”
You can't say that you listen to gossip and hear God, right? Gently smiled slightly, lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of rice, and then sandwiched a chopstick dish for him and Xiaohuan and said: "Let's go out and be fine, and when you settle down in the capital, I will make food for you." ”
That night in the inn will be the night rest, the next morning, the coachman urged them on the road, not even had time to eat breakfast, Wen Rou had to buy some steamed buns and cooked vegetables on the street, ready to be hungry on the road.
When sitting in the car, Wen's mother and Xiaohuan had needlework in their hands to pass the time, and Wen Gang was idle and bored yesterday in his back, teaching him the ninety-nine multiplication song tricks, although Wen's mother felt a little strange when she listened, and she didn't know how her daughter could have these strange knowledge, but fortunately, Wenwen had been away from home for several years, and she didn't know a single word, and she thought in her heart that Gentleness was probably learned in Zhao's mansion, and she didn't ask much. It's just bitter and gentle, and the time spent sitting in the car is really difficult to pass, so I have to lift the curtain, look at the loess road and the new green plants on the side of the road, and chat to pass the long and bumpy time.
