Chapter 190: Brothers Reunited
"Brother!"
"Long Wind!"
When the brothers reunited, their eyes were extremely hot and their hearts trembled, Lu Chengyang hammered Changfeng's sturdy shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's only half a year, I've grown so much taller, and I'm about to catch up with my brother!" ”
Lu Changfeng smiled, "Compared with the door frame of our house, it is a little better than Brother." ”
Lu Changfeng stretched out two fingers and compared the height of a finger's stomach in front of Lu Chengyang.
Lu Chengyang smiled, "You kid." ”
looked at Lin Chen, who was smiling on the side, "Brother Lin has worked hard, let's go rest first." ”
Lin Chen nodded with a smile, "Listen to the arrangement of the parents." ”
For this second young master of the in-laws, Lin Chen always has a feeling of facing his own wife, although the temperament of the two people is completely different, his own wife is a feeling of vitality, you can feel the infinite possibilities from her, and the second young master of the in-laws is a quiet smile, which makes people feel easy to get close to and has a trace of imperceptible sharpness.
When they arrived in Hanzhong, the merchants thanked the nobles at the gate of the city, and went to the event, and there was an agreement with the next family to go out of the city tomorrow, and if there was no next family, they also made an appointment to follow the next escort back to Tianshui.
So now Lu Changfeng and Lin Chen are heading towards the city with a team of armor soldiers.
"Brother, you live here?"
Lu Changfeng followed Brother and went straight to the back gate of the Yahou Gate in Hanzhong County, where the temporary residence of officials was located. However, few people will use it, after all, this is just a small courtyard with three main rooms.
can be the chief official of a city, who is not ten or eight people who serve, plus the girl in the family, the master saves the ceremony, a few rooms in a small courtyard is really not enough.
Therefore, often the rulers of the city would buy another property, either rent or buy it, and use it to live.
It is really rare for someone like Cheng Yang to live directly in the backyard of the county government.
"It's good here," Lu Chengyang led Changfeng and Lin Chen to his residence, and said, "This place is close to the yamen, so I have a few guards under me, and I don't need any big houses." ”
A few people were talking, and when they came to the middle hall, the simple tables, chairs, and bookcases had no decoration, which was the style of the Lu family all along.
Changfeng made his butt on the chair in the middle and lay on the table, "I'm tired of the day today." ”
At this time, it was already dark, and it would be dark in another quarter of an hour, Lu Changfeng and Lin Chen led the team on the road, although riding a horse was less laborious than walking, but they were also vigilant for a day, and when they arrived at a familiar place, they naturally relaxed.
Seeing his younger brother lying on the table, Lu Chengyang motioned to his subordinates to serve the food, and then took the pea cake and handed it to his younger brother and Lin Chen, "Eat first, just porridge and vegetables for a while." ”
Lu Changfeng was completely relaxed and coquettish at his brother's place, lying on the table eating pastries, drinking the tea brought by his brother, and talking about what he had seen and heard along the way.
"After walking out of the city for half an hour, I understood why people said that it was not easy for Huo Hou to defeat the Qiang people, the vast grassland, there was no reference, and I didn't know where to go at all. If it weren't for the marks of the merchant under my feet, I'd have had to follow the back of the line. The brother-in-law is not ordinarily powerful, and he dares to go deep into the grassland to pursue the Qiang royal court! ”
Lu Changfeng said, and his thumb compared.
That year, he just followed the wind to praise Huo Jing, and now he knows the feeling of going deep into the grassland, the world is vast and there is no place to rely on, in all directions, as far as the eye can see, there is an endless desolate and gray sky, which makes people's hearts chill.
When Lin Chen heard this, his eyes were bright, "The young master is indeed very ambitious, Ding Yi and I went to the grassland to inquire about the news, at that time we were all panicked in our hearts and felt lost, but the young master insisted that the direction was right, and in the end, it really allowed us to find the lonely Qiang royal court." ”
I can't say much about the details, but Lin Chen can still talk about some things that are not too important.
"Young master, the porridge is ready."
"Bring it up."
The servants brought the yellow millet porridge, the refreshing quail eggplant, and the sauce plum meatloaf with refreshing side dishes, and the few people stopped talking and began to eat.
The millet porridge in Changfeng's hand was not drunk one by one, it was simply poured into his mouth, Lin Chen did not panic, and Lu Chengyang couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it.
"It's better to eat some food and let it cool first."
Lu Changfeng shook his head, "No, you don't have a fire dragon in this house, it's just such a small stove, this porridge and vegetables are all cold fast, and the temperature of millet porridge is just right." ”
As he spoke, he dried three bowls of millet porridge, and then began to eat vegetables normally.
"The millet porridge here is better than Kyoto, and I'll send some to Daddy tomorrow."
Hearing Changfeng say this, Lu Chengyang said directly, "I don't need you to say it, Daddy has already sent me a letter to ask for it." ”
Lu Qingshan marched through Hanzhong back then, and these little pawns couldn't eat good food and good food, but the millet porridge was full, and he always remembered the taste, and now that his son came to be an official, he had already asked Chengyang to send him more, and by the way, he sent it to some old guys.
Lu Changfeng shook his head when he heard this, "Daddy is like this." ”
"Don't talk about our father, brother," Lu Changfeng wiped his mouth, "Are you going to go to Tianshui City with us tomorrow?" Doesn't it mean that the ruler is not allowed to leave the land under his jurisdiction at will? What if something happens to life underneath? ”
As the chief officer, what I am most afraid of is to give the subordinates a handle, so that there will be a lot of trouble.
Lu Chengyang shook his head, "It's okay, Brother has been in Hanzhong for half a year, and he didn't come for nothing." ”
Hearing what Brother said this, Cheng Yang put his mind at ease and talked to Brother with great interest about what he had seen along the way and what he needed to pay attention to.
"Brother, you don't know, when you go out of the city, you don't look far away, just look at the sides of your feet, look far away, it's like being blind, you feel like you're looking everywhere, and you feel like you're standing still no matter how you go. I didn't know at first, I saw a lot of dizziness, or Brother Lin grabbed me, so I didn't fall off the horse. ”
Lu Chengyang listened to these small details, looked at Lin Chen on the side and smiled, and then looked at his younger brother, "There are also horse thieves." Listen to Brother Lin say today, the horse thieves eradicated today are just a small force, or they were unlucky to bump into, and when we leave the city tomorrow, we will face prepared horse thieves. When the time comes, what kind of sound will hit the west, poison and dark arrows, it will be indispensable, Brother, you went out of Beijing because Daddy brought you soft armor Remember to wear it tomorrow, I forgot to remind you tomorrow. ”
Changfeng chattered endlessly with his brother, since he was a child, he and his brother are of the same age, in the same situation, and live with his sister, so he has nothing to talk about, and now he has been separated for half a year, Changfeng doesn't say anything, what he thinks most about is the brother who gets along day and night. Now that I see it, my mouth naturally can't stop, although it doesn't mean that I miss it, but I miss it.
Unconsciously, sleepiness swelled up, and Lu Changfeng, who had worked hard all day, fell asleep on the table, and was helped back to the room by Cheng Yang, who listened to him.
"Brother Lin, you have to take care of Changfeng all the way."
Out of Changfeng's door, Lu Chengyang said solemnly.
Children of Changfeng's grade say that they have grown up, but they have their own ideas, they are very jumpy, and if they can't look at it, they may have accidents, Lu Changfeng fell asleep tired all the way, and Lin Chen was only more tired than him this way. Therefore, Lu Chengyang sincerely thanked Lin Chen.
"The young master of the in-laws is more polite, let's go together, don't talk about that."
Lu Chengyang smiled slightly, "Indeed." By the way, Brother Lin, are you tired today, I have some details that I would like to ask you carefully. ”
Seeing Lu Chengyang's gentle smile, Lin Chen secretly shuddered for some reason, and said, "Of course, if you have anything, just ask, I'm not sleepy at this time." ”
Soon, Lin Chen's words were slapped in the face. Lu Chengyang inquired in detail about the details of the trade route plan, and even asked about some details that he didn't pay attention to, such as the alternate road section, the location of the shelter in the middle of the trade route, and so on.
"Brother Lin, why did you choose here? It's not very close to Tianshui and Hanzhong, and it's not convenient to walk there..."
It was late at night, and Lu Chengyang's questions continued.
