Putting down the secret report sent by Qingming, Gu Huai picked up the teacup and took a sip, a bit like the old man who would read the newspaper every morning in later generations.

Tearing the thin rice paper into pieces and putting it in his sleeve, Gu Huai got up and walked towards the second floor of the inn.

The court meeting is over... Zhu Di still needs to stay in Jinling in the next few days, after all, it is impossible to pat his ass and leave after seeing such a thing as entering Beijing and facing the saint, and what will happen after that can only rely on Zhu Di to see the move.

Public opinion still needs to be operated, this point Gu Huai and Zhu Di have discussed very clearly, what happened in Xiaoling and the court needs to be passed on, and someone needs to guide the psychological tendencies of the people, this kind of thing Zhu Di may not be able to do better than the imperial court, but Gu Huai can't help much at the moment.

Not many people from the Secret Spy Division went south, and he still needed to go back to his hometown.

This year, the most important thing is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, the ancestral home is in the south, and it is impossible to go south from Beiping for thousands of miles, this is really unreasonable to look at the ancestral land, and the father of the predecessor died on the way to flee, and the spirit card also needs to return to the roots, which is why Zhu Di agreed so happily when Gu Huai proposed to go back to his hometown to see.

If you don't go back, I'm afraid that the impression in Zhu Di's heart will have to leave a stain.

Those memories of the past, as if people always blur the previous things in the process of growing up, when they think about it, it seems that the fog has dispersed, and some outlines can be seen clearly, but when you don't think about it, those years seem to have never existed.

Hazy can only think of it seems to be a small place in Yangzhou, not far from Ying Tianfu, although his family wealth is empty, but the ancestral house is still there, the reason why it has not been sold seems to be because the house is divided by the clan and is not allowed to sell, which makes the poor father and son go north to join friends.

As a result, the friend did not defect, but ended up with a father who died of illness and a son who became rich.

Think about it... If it weren't for the change of soul, perhaps the predecessor of this body would have been difficult to return to the south.

He came to the end of the hallway and knocked softly on the door: "Clean up, it's time to go." ”

......

The name of the town is Qing'an, which sounds like a small place, but in fact, it is located in a key chong and the market is prosperous, which is a good town.

There are many water systems in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are naturally big rivers next to Qing'an Town, not only the developed water transportation can make it very convenient for the people of the town to go to Yingtianfu, but also let Qing'an Town have a large area of good paddy fields.

In the evening, there are some fires in the farmland on both sides of the official road, probably the old farmer is burning ash and fertile fields, the air is fresh and earthy, and the starry sky hangs overhead, which makes people feel refreshed.

More than a dozen carriages slowly walked along the official road, and on the carriage in advance, Tsundere Lori lifted the curtain, looked at the field scenery with some curiosity, and asked into the car: "This is where you grew up?" ”

"Sort of," Gu Huai smiled, "Actually, I can't remember it very well." ”

It has been a day since the departure from Jinling, the first half of the journey is very fast, and the second half is very slow, and the reason for this is probably the more than ten carriages that followed.

When I think of this, Gu Huai feels a little distressed... If it weren't for Tsundere Lori to come and live with him for a while, in fact, he could have gone back to his ancestral house to have a look, and left after finishing what he had to do, without spending a penny.

But now that the county is mainly here to live temporarily, it is time to clean up the house that has been abandoned for many years... Besides, although Tsundere Lori said that she was not squeamish, she couldn't even have no one to serve, not even all the furniture, right?

So I had to buy some furniture and hire some servants halfway.

In fact, when starting from the inn, in addition to the two maids brought by Tsundere Lori, and Wei Laosan, who was considered to be Gu Huai's guard, there were only five people in total, the carriage was ready-made, Wei Laosan was a good soldier and a good hand, and the car was naturally not bad, two men sat on the wheel, and three women were in the carriage, but after entering the market, the carriage became a convoy, and it was rushed to the town.

It's finally here... Gu Huai also breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the spirit cards played in the funeral shop, and couldn't say anything in his heart.

If you are in Beiping, you should also go and see the tomb...

The convoy entered the town gate, and soon attracted the attention of the people, although Qing'an Town was rich, but this kind of scene of more than a dozen carts coming at once was rare, and the things loaded on the car, as well as the servants who followed the car, clearly showed that this was not a caravan, more like...

"I don't know when I'll be able to return home like this..."

Wei Laosan, who was driving the car, muttered, and was heard by Gu Huai, who got out of the carriage, and he was in a trance: "Return to your hometown?" ”

yes, in a sense... The scholar who fled out at the beginning is really different now.

It's just that this emotion didn't stay long, because Gu Huai knew very well that he was a descendant, not the impoverished scholar.

I inherited his identity, I can do something for him, and I can even use his identity to leave some traces in history, but I... It's not him after all.

The soft-soled cloth boots stepped on the muddy street, and the people gathered pointed at the convoy, and Gu Huai, who was dressed in a green shirt, slowly raised his steps and walked down the road in his memory.

Brick by brick, grass by tree... It doesn't seem to be any different from what I remember, but when I think about it, just a few years is not enough to change this town.

It's just that every similar place seems to make my heart slightly hot, and there are always some memories that will jump out, the well seems to have played next to me, the stone under the old tree seems to have sat on it, the alley seems to lead to the private school, this yard...

Gu Huai stopped, the barrier between reality and memory slowly dissolved, and he gradually became a little unsure whether he had lived in this place or not.

It's like a very real dream.

"You're... Gu Huai? ”

A voice sounded, Gu Huai turned his head to look, the woman with the basin was standing at the entrance of the alley, and looked at her blankly, the two children grabbed her trouser legs, as if they were a little afraid of life, and their eyes were full of curiosity when they looked at the convoy.

Gu Huai was silent for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "Aunt Wang? ”

"Ouch, really!" The basin in the woman's hand fell to the ground, and she stepped forward to grab Gu Huai and look at it, "It's the same as before, it's still so thin!" How did you go away for so many years? Where's your dad? ”

This sudden enthusiasm made Gu Huai a little uncomfortable, and he took the spirit card from Wei Laosan on the side: "It's been a few years since I passed away." ”

"Hey, good people don't live long, good people don't live long... Where did you come from? Have you started a family? Where is the high school? Look at this pomp, it's out, it's out! ”

A series of questions made Gu Huai a little dazed, probably because he noticed that the scholar in front of him was still not as good at words as he was back then, and the woman stopped talking: "Ouch, look at my mouth, I can't stop talking, catch up with Ming'er..."

She suddenly thought of something, and her face was a little ugly.

At this time, Gu Huai also noticed the half-open gate and the light from the courtyard.

When I left, there was nothing left, and I could be regarded as a disciple of the four walls, so there should be no thieves, so this light...

Gu Huai's face sank: "Wei Laosan, push the door!" ”
