Putting on a brand-new white background wide-sleeved moire robe specially prepared by Hua Fengju for himself, after a simple freshening, Yan Longyu stretched his waist and walked out of the door.

Qin Ruoyang and Dugu Haodang had already stood outside the courtyard, and the servant Lao He also brought a brand-new carriage that had been prepared a long time ago and stopped under the old locust tree, and the horses were three jujube red strong horses that had just been picked up from the bottom of the mountain recently.

Qin Ruoyang was dressed in an ink shirt, with half a bundle of white hair, and he was still tall and tall in his old age, carrying a boxy bamboo box on his back, showing the style of Confucianism. He saw the young man wearing snow-white new clothes Shi Shiran walking out, he was very interested, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked an arc that was not easy to be noticed. The world often says that the most beautiful is the young man, isn't that exactly the case.

Dugu Haodang was still dressed in his luxurious big-sleeved black clothes, holding the gentleman's sword that matched his identity, and stood behind Mr. Qin with a cold face.

Seeing Mr. looking at him, Yan Longyu, who had been "riding the clouds and fog" all night, hurriedly ran out of the yard, and after respectfully saluting Mr. Qin, he walked straight to Dugu Haoran's side, deliberately spread his hands, and raised his eyebrows to show Dugu Haolan this new outfit. Dugu, who was naturally arrogant, looked at the ugly face of the person in front of him, and slowly tilted his head to the other side.

Hua Fengju, who had packed everything, walked out of the house door with a large package, locked the door and filled a pot of self-brewed rice wine in the wine vat in the yard, and finally slowly closed the fence door. The doors of the courtyard gate and the side house were not locked, perhaps Hua Fengju hoped that if there were pedestrians or woodcutters on this mountain in the future, they could come in and rest.

Qin Ruoyang turned to look at the two young men who were quietly "eyebrows", and said: "Out of Fulong County, through Hanyuan County and Xing'an County, you will go out of Qinzhou, and your grandfather He and I will be separated from you in this Xing'an County, and you have to go south to Kuizhou, and then go to Jianzhou, before you can enter Shuzhou and enter the flowery Jinguan City." Children, this road is long and difficult! ”

Yan Longyu deliberately smiled in front of Mr. "Mr. Qin can go to Jiangnan with peace of mind, I will definitely be optimistic about Dugu Hao, and I will not let him cause trouble for Mr." Hear no, Dugu, don't cause trouble to Mr. ”

Dugu Haoran snorted coldly, as if to say, who likes to cause trouble the most Yan Longyu has no points in his heart?

Looking at Yan Longyu, who was beaten upside down, Qin Ruoyang smiled for the first time and said: "It seems that I still have to bring the ring ruler along the way, so as not to make you Yan Longyu miss this ring ruler too much." ”

"Sir, you don't have to!" Yan Longyu gasped, since he came to Qishan, Mr. Qin's ring ruler has changed seven or eight times now. The past is unbearable! Yan Longyu hurriedly and diligently shouted Dugu Haodang, and helped Mr. Qin to get into the carriage under the locust tree, for fear that he would really go to get the ring ruler.

In the fifteenth year of Chunfeng, a gust of autumn wind rose.

After Yan Longyu and Hua Fengju worshiped by the mound at the foot of Qishan for the last time, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove down the bumpy dirt road by the Rolling Dragon River, heading downstream along the river.

And so they left the place where they had lived for nearly fifteen years. Seeing them off was the mountain song sung by the woodcutter who went up the mountain to chop wood: "The rivers and lakes are far away, when will we meet, after a farewell in the mountains, there will be no sound ...... this time."

Out of Qishan, along the rolling dragon river east for fifteen miles, there is a vermilion lacquer wooden bridge across the river, from this bridge can go north to the Ruzhou city of Jinyang, south to the Qinzhou city of Chang'an. And if the cars and horses on both sides of the strait want to come and go, this vermilion lacquer bridge, which is particularly desolate in autumn, is a must-pass.

At this moment, a young couple and two teenagers with disparate identities are standing together on the riverside, looking at the other side of the bridge.

The autumn breeze was cool, and the young woman wearing a rough silver hairpin rubbed her hands, lifted the collar for the husband next to her, and smiled with satisfaction. The woman's appearance is mediocre, but in the eyes of his husband, who is studying, she is as beautiful as a fairy.

The husband and wife are in love with me, and the two teenagers on one side can only deliberately avoid their sight, extremely embarrassed, and envious!

This young couple is Mr. Taofu Xu Zhiqing and his lady Liu Xianglan, and the two teenagers next to them are no one else, it is Yan Gui, who is carrying a tattered burden and a delicate short sword pinned to his waist, and one of the righteous sons of Gu Beixuan, the old man of Xishu in the "floating and drunk" restaurant that day.

These four people who were originally unrelated to each other have come together today in order to be equal to the same group of people.

It's still early, and there are hardly any pedestrians on this wide bridge. The four of them didn't wait long before they saw the carriage they were waiting for, and Xu Zhiqing recognized the scar-faced old coachman who was driving at a glance.

After the carriage crossed the bridge, it slowly stopped beside the four of them, Yan Longyu and Dugu Haodang helped Mr. Qin get out of the car, and Hua Fengju also jumped from the top of the carriage and jumped down.

Everyone greeted each other.

Mo Fei, who looked like a white-faced scholar and had a light abacus hanging on his waist, explained to them: "That day, when Fulong County was goodbye, my father-in-law could not rest assured that Lord Feng Jue and Brother Yan would go back to Shuzhou with you, I have been living in Fulong County these days, and yesterday I received a message from Lord Feng Jue, saying that you are going to Shu today, and I will take Yan Gongzi here to wait for you." Oh, Yan Gongzi said that this Mr. Xu is also here to wait for you, so we came together. ”

Yan Gui, who was called Gongzi for the first time, gritted his teeth and smiled shyly. Yan Longyu observed that Yan Gui deliberately wore new clothes today, put on new cloth shoes, and even washed his hair, but in fact, it was a shabby appearance with or without change, and there was no reason why the tip of his nose was sore.

Xu Zhiqing hurriedly added: "I received a letter of farewell from Mr. and Zai Xia last night, and I couldn't sleep at night. Unexpectedly, I saw Brother Yan and Mo Gongzi outside the county town. So here we are. ”

Hearing her husband introduce herself, and seeing everyone's eyes gathered, Liu Xianglan, who had been holding Xu Zhiqing's hand, blushed, and moved her steps to hide behind her husband, causing everyone to laugh together.

Yan Longyu quipped: "I didn't expect this lady of Mr. Taofu's family to be really innocent." Mr. Xu is blessed. ”

Dugu Haodang still had a cold face, as if he wanted to joke, but there was a trace of embarrassment, "The lady of Mr. Xu's family is really envious of others." ”

was praised by two handsome young men in a row, and Liu Xianglan behind Xu Zhiqing was already flushed, and she had no face to see anyone again.

Qin Ruoyang looked at the pair of beautiful marriages he had personally brokered in front of him, and it was also rare to smile.

The careful Yan Longyu stepped forward and hugged Yan Gui's shoulder, who couldn't speak in front of everyone, he knew that Yan Guiyi didn't dare to speak in front of the elders, so he said for him: "I knew that Yan Gui would definitely come, and you deserved to be my good brother Yan Longyu." ”

Yan Gui, who was particularly sensitive to subtleties, felt a warmth in his heart, he knew that Yan Longyu was helping him to introduce, so he smiled awkwardly, "Wherever the little master goes, Yan Gui and I will follow." ”

…………

After standing by the bridge for half an hour, Yan Longyu repeatedly confirmed the recent situation of the woman surnamed Tao with Xu Zhiqing, and finally it was time to leave.

Mo Fei invited Hua Fengju and Yan Longyu into the carriage he brought, and Dugu Haodang also helped Qin Ruoyang to get into the carriage before. Yan Gui and the servant Lao He drove separately, and the two carriages went south one after the other.

When parting, Xu Zhiqing gave the six carrier pigeons raised by his mother to Yan Longyu and Qin Ruoyang respectively, and if there was anything, he could also write to him.

The autumn wind was bleak, the turbid river was rolling eastward, and a line of geese flew over Xu Zhiqing's head, he looked up and said with emotion: "It's autumn, the northern geese are returning to the south!" I don't know if this goose (Yan) is returning to the south, or is it difficult to return! ”

Liu Xianglan was still blushing, and took her husband's hand again, a poor and sour scholar and a pretty girl, just holding hands and talking and laughing in the direction of Fulong County:

"It's time to buy you some cloth to make a new outfit, and just now behind you, I saw a small hole in your clothes."

"You can still wear it, and the money you save is reserved for selling rouge jewelry to the lady."

"How can there be such a good husband as you in this world!"

"How can there be such a virtuous lady as you in this world!"

………

What do I Xu Zhiqing want to be a marquis and worship the prime minister's tattered fame, it is enough to hold her hand for a lifetime.
