Chapter 252: Walking
Ox carts sparkle on their wheels and walk through the autumn wilderness.
The mid-autumn feast was attended by 30 villagers, ranging in age from 50 to 70.
They are all highly respected people in their respective towns.
At the same time, he is also a truly bold and transparent person.
After being frightened by the Lian family, only one of the Gao family and Gao Huai came to Lingzhi.
Lingzhi to Guzhu, but it is only a two-day trip, but since Gongsun Yan wants to let these villagers experience a sunset red trip in advance, the itinerary will not be arranged too urgently.
Cheese wine, vegetables, fruits, meat and vegetables, the post stations along the way are well prepared in advance, and there are also doctors accompanying them.
Before these villagers arrived in Guzhu, they had already felt full of sincerity in advance.
Under the escort of the army, the group marched towards Lone Bamboo at a leisurely pace.
Gongsun Yan couldn't see anyone idle, and before leaving, she asked her grandfather Gongsun Jing to be a courtesan to entertain these villagers.
Therefore, Gongsun Jing will stop from time to time on the road, take advantage of the sunny weather, and sit and drink with the villagers among the bright mountains and rivers.
Travel in this era is far from like that of later generations, full of famine, war, and banditry......
Civilians of this era will mostly not have the opportunity to leave the place where they were born.
Even the head of an old family like Gongsun Jing actually doesn't have much chance to leave Lingzhi in his life.
Gongsun Yan's arrangement, even a person like Gao Huai who has some ideas in his heart, can't find anything wrong.
Gao Huai leaned against the window of the ox cart, holding an arithmetic book from Lu Long.
On the bridge of his nose was a pair of reading glasses forcibly borrowed from Gongsun Jingna, and he was looking at the words on his head through the light of day.
There was a lot of wooden counting chips on his legs.
Gongsun Jing leaned on the crypt and took a nap.
"Jing Gong, Jing Gong." He forcibly pushed Gongsun Jing up.
Gongsun Jing was just squinting, and he was woken up by him, even if he had a good temper, he couldn't hold it back: "Gao Gong, don't you have your own car?" ”
Although Gongsun Jing looks like an old fox when he is old, he is also a prodigal character when he is young.
The arrogant, amorous, and rebellious stinking faults of his sons and daughters can all find their source in him.
After some life and death, he seems to be a little lighter, and his youthful temperament has resurfaced, and he is not polite to Gao Huai.
Gao Huai said twice: "Yes, yes, but not as comfortable as Jinggong's car." ”
Gongsun Yan is not the kind of junior who really loses his conscience, and he is worried about Gongsun Jing's age, and he only fell seriously ill not long ago.
I'm afraid that a banquet will kill her grandfather.
Don't dare to be rash, and made a special ox cart for him.
Not to mention that the compartment is twice as wide as usual, the key is that it has done a good shock absorption treatment.
In the car, there are a lot of cushions and bedding, from books to tea and food, and even reading glasses.
Such a car is naturally much more comfortable than Gao Huai's own rickety car.
So he stayed in Gongsun Jing's car, and when he had nothing to do, he found this book of enlightenment arithmetic.
After taking it and verifying it for a long time, he let out a long sigh: "Gong Jing, there is such a subtle knowledge in the Gongsun family, it is really hidden!" ”
"Jing Gong, how to solve this problem?" Gao Huai asked, pointing to the after-class exercises in the book.
Gongsun Jinggao smiled incomprehensibly: "Gao Gong, this is Lu Long's enlightenment textbook. ”
Children's knowledge, are you embarrassed to ask?
Gao Huai's face was a little red, but he still gave up.
It took another half day.
When it was getting late, a rider suddenly came to the window and reported: "Jinggong, Guzhu Manor has arrived." ”
Not only Gongsun Jing, but even Gao Huai put down the book with great interest, called to stop, and planned to go down to have a look.
"I heard that this lonely bamboo manor was prepared by Bogui for Ah Yan, and the scenery is one of the most beautiful in the Northland." Gao Huai opened the curtain and said, "Ah Yan is good at business, and he will definitely be able to take care of this manor ......."
The expression on his face froze, and he couldn't say anything more.
Gongsun Jing didn't know why, and when he poked his head out, he was also shocked.
In front of me is no longer the original low civil wall, replaced by a tall gray and white city pass made of cement.
Like a giant serpent stretching its body, there is no end in sight.
Two huge doors open to reveal the smooth concrete road behind them.
Gao Huai looked at Gongsun Jing: "Lonely Bamboo Manor? ”
Your grandson's family calls this a manor?
Gongsun Jing adjusted the expression on his face in time, and once again showed an unfathomable smile: "Gao Gong, don't make a fuss. This is normal. ”
The villagers in the car next to them also walked down.
Interested in stomping his feet on the ground, poking here and there with the crutches in his hand.
"Welcome Jinggong!" An enthusiastic voice could be heard in the distance.
Gongsun Jing looked at it with a smile, squinted for a long time, and didn't recognize who this person was.
It wasn't until I saw his somewhat deflated right sleeve that I recognized that this person was the general under the former Gongsun Zhan's account, Tian Kai.
"Tian Gong, have you been in good health lately?" Gongsun Jing also walked down with the support of the servants.
Tian Kai unconsciously touched the chin meat he had piled up, and said with a sneer: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Tian Kai didn't ask Gongsun Jing if he was doing well, but waved his hand and said: "Gong Jing, everyone, please, Mrs. Yan has ordered us to be fully prepared, just to welcome you." ”
"Zhuangzhong has prepared a wine banquet, please."
Gongsun Jing also turned his head and greeted: "It's not early, everyone, let's go first!" ”
"Okay, okay." A group of village elders restrained their curiosity and returned to the car.
As the car continued to move forward, after passing the gate, everyone's eyes lit up.
It was late at night, and when I looked into the distance, there were bursts of cooking smoke wafting from the houses and houses dotted in the mountain cols.
Between the two cars, the white road parallel to each other extends into the distance, and the large acres of fields in the sunset are like a layer of gold dust.
With such a peaceful mountain view, even Gao Huai couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.
When people grow old, they always yearn for peace and tranquility.
For a moment, these old people all looked out the window, and no one spoke.
It's just that when you walk through the fields, you can't help but be interested in the crops.
"Jinggong, what kind of crops are planted in this field, and why haven't they been harvested at this time?" Gao Huai pointed to Tian Mu and asked again.
Gongsun Jing didn't answer him, but looked at the rich manor, stunned.
Regarding the death of the eldest son and the youngest daughter, Gongsun Jing did not say in his heart that he could let go of it.
At this time, looking at the warm cooking smoke in the distance, I was still very nostalgic in my heart.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh, secretly raised his sleeves, and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Gao Huai caught a glimpse of his movements out of the corner of his eye, sighed in his heart, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside, which left him a little dignity.
When the car arrived at the main house of Guzhu, Gongsun Jing finally packed up his mood and stepped off the parked carriage with the support of the servants.
When I looked up, there were two rows of servants standing in front of the door, and an elegant scribe was standing at the front.
Gongsun Jing unconsciously showed a sincere joy: "Oh, Mr. Zhao! ”
