The small paper boat rippled into the distance.

That small ripple only has a momentary brilliance when it falls.

There are many paper boats, but compared with the vast river, it still seems a little worthless.

On this day, Gu Dan and Gongshang stayed here and participated in a festival in Yuzhou.

At night, there is a large bonfire burning along the river, reflecting the red sky.

Many people sang and danced here, and wealthy families took out their money to buy food, and those who saw it had a share.

According to the locals, this is to let the ancestors see the good life they live in today, so as to comfort their spirits in heaven.

Gu Dan not only saw the people of the Xia Dynasty here, but even the people of Daqing, Daqi and other countries, their costumes and the style of the Xia Dynasty are very different, and they are easy to identify.

Those people are also involved, and they seem to have no idea what kind of poignant story is behind it.

Time, a lot of things washed away.

In this era, the enmity between the people of several countries is far less fierce than when the Xia Dynasty was founded, and the increasingly prosperous business is one of the evidence.

Festival, for many people, is just a festival.

The next day, Gu Dan and Gong Shangguo continued to ride the little donkey and went around in Yuzhou.

When the prince came to a large temple, he was stopped by the guards at the door.

"Stop!"

The guards in strong suits were five big and three thick, and their eyes looked like copper bells when they were staring.

"Huh?"

The prince who was riding on the donkey was not stunned at all, "Why? ”

"This temple is under renovation and is temporarily closed to the public, so if you want to visit it, please wait until the renovation is completed."

The guards looked shabby, but they were respectful.

The reason naturally comes from the fact that the public is already white, and at a glance it is known that it is 'Renrui'.

Thanks to the relationship between Confucianism, respecting the old and loving the young in the Xia Dynasty can almost be regarded as a tradition now, and this kind of old man does not even have to salute when he sees the emperor.

"Repair?"

Gong Shang glanced at the side twice, and sure enough, he saw the car pushing the stone slab passing through the small door, "I just go in and take a look?" ”

"As mentioned above, it is not open to the public now."

The guard said.

"I'm not an outsider."

The public is still a little persistent.

Gu Dan can probably see that this is probably the former home of the public shang.

Running from the imperial capital to Yuzhou, he still wanted to come and have a look.

"Brother, be accommodating."

Gu Dan took out a few taels of silver and handed them over.

"What are you doing?!"

The guard was startled, and immediately took a few steps back, "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me?" ”

Just looking at the frightened expression on his big and three thick face, it seems that he really didn't tell a lie.

"Huh."

Gong Shangguo laughed and said, "The owner of this place has something to do with me. When I get old, I want to visit again. If you are worried about us sabotage, you might as well follow us, you see that we are so weak that we can't help it, we can't be your opponent.

If we find out that we have bad intentions, we can also take it directly, what do you think? ”

The guard's bronze bell-like gaze swept over Gong Shangguo and Gu Dan, and seeing Gong Shangguo's sincere expression, he thought about it and said: "It's not impossible to go in and have a look, but you, a junior, are not honest, and if you dare to do this kind of bribery, you will be severely punished!" ”

junior

The corners of Gu Dan's mouth twitched, and the invincible move in Dayue was now ineffective.

But isn't that a good thing?

The two tied the donkey to the tree not far from the door, and walked into the temple together, and the five big and three thick men followed behind them, and most of the time their eyes were on Gu Dan's body.

"It seems that this trick is not easy to use now."

Gu Dan shrugged slightly.

"When the country is rich, the people are strong, and when the people are strong, they know courtesy."

Gong Shangguo also had a little more smile on his face, and it was already a rare happy thing to see Gu Dan eating deflated.

The guard hadn't deceived them, the mansion was indeed being renovated.

In the distance, the attic has faded in color, and the craftsmen are busy up and down, carrying all kinds of wood and stone, and you can vaguely see the prosperity of this place in the past.

"This is a garden, and at the end of the walk is a pasture, where you can go hunting directly on horseback."

Gong Shang pointed in front of him, and introduced the situation here like a few treasures.

But that was a long time ago, and Yuzhou at that time was far less prosperous than it is now, although it was not as vast and sparsely populated, but it was not much different.

In addition, his father doesn't understand what thrift is, even if he goes to Yuzhou, he loves to enjoy it very much, and the style of life in this area is really the same.

"The courtyard over there is used to house the beauty, he is very capable of giving birth, and I have a lot of brothers and sisters, in fact, our relationship is fine, but the adults don't like us."

Gong Shang said plainly.

It is not uncommon for a prince destined to miss the throne to be extremely enthusiastic about sowing blood.

"Although Emperor Zongming is vicious to the people below, his own heirs have not treated him badly."

Gu Dan was a little surprised.

The second prince was demoted to the frontier, and it was indeed beyond his expectations that he could still live such a life of a superior person in Yuzhou.

"Probably because he has no ability, he doesn't even bother to suspect Emperor Zongming, right?"

Gong Shangguo didn't give his biological father any face, he really didn't look down on that person, and even he regarded his own blood as a shame, and he had never been close to a woman in his life.

It's been a long time here, and many places have to be repaired, and the two finally found a small pavilion, and Gong Shangguo sat on the stone bench and said, "This is his Zhaoxian Pavilion." All the 'sages' he can hire will be brought here by him and pretend. ”

For ordinary people, what comes here is the scenery, but for the public, it is full of stories.

Even if the stories aren't good, they're better than they are.

After saying this, Gong Shangguo stopped talking.

The eyes, which had already looked yellow, looked at everything around them.

Some places are unfamiliar, and some places are familiar.

It's all gone.

It was getting late, and Gong Shangguo was the first to stand up, "Let's go." ”

"Where to go?"

Gu Dan asked.

"Go back, there's really nothing to see here."

Gong Shang said casually.

"Okay, this master, please."

Gu Dan showed a narrow smile on his face and came to guide the way for Gongshang.

"Hmph."

Gong Shang spewed out a stream of air from the tip of his nose, glared at Gu Dan, and didn't bother to mess with him.

When he walked out of the gate of the mansion, Gu Dan took advantage of the kung fu of leading the donkey and stopped.

The guards who followed them said as if they were facing a great enemy: "What else is the matter with you?" ”

"Have you read the "Shennong Baicao Sutra" promulgated by the imperial court a few years ago?"

Gu Dan didn't answer, but asked.

"Isn't that a medical book? What do I do when I read medical books? ”

The guards couldn't hold on to him.

Of course, he knows that the medical book is now being carried out in various places, all of which take the "Shennong Baicao Sutra" as the treasure of the town, and the current Prime Minister Xun Ke of the Xia Dynasty also admires it in every way, and he can't hear about it.

"Take a look, maybe you'll get something."

Gu Dan smiled and turned to leave.

The guards followed them for a long time, but they never bothered, and they were a careful person, and since they refused to accept the money, Gu Dan would not let him work in vain.

However, whether there is any gain depends on how careful he is, whether it is enough.

Individuals have their own fate.

Seeing the two of them riding away on donkeys, the guard scratched his head and looked at his big fan-like hands, "Let me read a medical book?" Take an embroidery needle to heal people? ”

Having said that, I can't help but feel a little curious.

After all, the other party, both in appearance and bearing, is far better than ordinary people.

If he hadn't been startled when he first handed him the silver, he would have thought that an immortal had come down from the sky.

It's not anyone who can make him so accommodating.

Gu Dan and Gong Shang Guo began to return.

Although Gong Shangguo didn't say it, Gu Dan could still see that the trip to Yuzhou was a part of his mind, and the momentum of living in officialdom for a long time began to fade gradually.

When you get old, if you look at the place where you lived when you were young, you will probably see a lot of people.

In the forty-eighth year of the Xia Dynasty, two people rode donkeys and came to Yuzhou.

"This time, let's go to the source river and have a look?"

The last time I traveled from Yuzhou, there was no past on the side of the source river, and Gongshang had never been there in his life.

"Okay."

Gu Dan nodded without help.

"Now the political envoy of Yuzhou is Cang."

Gong Shang was a little interested, stroking his gray beard, "This little guy you raised is not ordinary!" raised a hundred wives and concubines, and when I was still in office, I could receive impeachment documents almost every day, all of which said that he was absurd or something. ”

"I'm not familiar with it."

Gu Dan's face is pale, and his heart is like water.

Cang?

Who is it?

I don't know!

"Hahaha!"

Gong Shang laughed out loud, out of breath with laughter.

If you have to find out any bad deeds for Gu Dan, his biggest bad deeds seem to be raising such a guy.

Obviously there is such a good role model for him, how can he be such a bastard?

Marry it, marry it, men should marry women, and there is nothing that is not allowed to take care of it.

Even Xun Ke and Xiaoying are all responsible for pulling the strings.

But Cang's marriage is not ordinary, and even Wang Mang has to say that he is ashamed.

Fortunately, in terms of blood, there is indeed no involvement, otherwise Gu Dan would not be able to wash it by jumping into the source river.

"You."

After laughing, Gong Shangguo shook his head again, staring at Gu Dan's young face that was enough to make people crazy with jealousy, "When you go to the Buzhou Mountain Range, let's find out if there is a young female sect master." Ordinary women, it's really hard for you to see. ”

The red face is easy to age, and the light is easy to pass away.

If there are real heroes in the world, it is difficult for beauties to remain silent.

Ordinary women really can't accompany him for long.

Judging from Gu Dan's almost constant face now, I am afraid that he can live for a long, long time, after all, it is a great grandmaster, and it is a matter of course that he can't find a second one, so that mortals can look up to him.

"Nothing to do? Say what this does. ”

Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Could it be that your spring heart is budding?" ”

"It's in the soil."

Gong Shangguo pursed his lips, and the two talked about each other, all the way to the edge of the source river.

Today's source river bank is also unexpectedly lively.

There are people beating gongs and drums on both sides, and there are people on the source river holding boats to fight.

If you ask someone casually, you will know that they are paying tribute to someone.

Ink Hills.

The holy master of the Xia Dynasty, the original giant of the Mo family.

The Mohists advocated frugality, so they didn't throw anything into the source river, and this kind of large-scale festival just carried out some celebratory activities.

The significance is similar to the situation in Yuzhou, but the scale is larger, the people are larger, and it is more lively.

Many people are not dressed in fine clothes, on the contrary, they are dressed in coarse linen clothes and stepping on the most shabby straw sandals, and they go around asking people if they need help—only to know that they are going to be spontaneous "ink masters" for seven days.

This is not just a form of gratitude, they are experiencing the suffering of their ancestors.

When the prince came here, immediately the 'ink man' brought out his little horse for him to sit down and rest.

Gong Shangguo sat down without hesitation, looking around.

On the bank of the source river, the 'ink man' dressed in short brown even accounts for a full thirty percent, which is extremely remarkable!

If the Mo family can really have so many people, I am afraid that the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty will have to go up several steps.

However, the real ink and these temporary ink people are still very easy to identify.

Because the ink man's skin looks dark.

Under the wind and sun, even the warriors can't withstand the hardships, all of them are similar to the old farmers in the countryside, and they can't pretend to be bitter.

Anyway, that's already good.

Finding a shady place on the bank of the source river, Gong Shangguo sat on the small horse, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and he said in a trance: "Last time we drank with Brother Mo. When is it? ”

Gu Dan's memory was very good, and he immediately remembered, "Zong Ming's thirty-seventh year, late spring. ”

"Thirty-seven years of Zongming."

At this time, when this year is mentioned, it seems that it has become a very distant past, and the public is in a trance.

Gu Dan groaned: "Guan Shan blocks the two hearts from hanging, and what ambition does he want to save the galaxy." The empty bloody blade was not hoeed, and the hero's life and death were in danger. ”

This time, Gong Shang thought about it.

He lifted his spirits, and his face flashed the ambition of his youth, and he answered loudly as if no one was around: "Ask the heavens with indignation!" Ask the sky, when will Wanliguan Mountain return? Ask the sky, when will the missing moon be reunited? Ask the sky, when will you re-swing the three-foot sword!"

The people around heard the sound and looked at it.

Gu Dan turned a blind eye and continued, "The traitor's temple is wide, the strong arms are stretched, and the thief's head is sacrificed to Longquan, but why is the sky full of sorrow and resentment?" Oh my God, you are also afraid of power rape, and it is difficult to speak! ”

The two of them said in unison: "The wind and snow break the roof and the sky and make danger, why do you bother with the majesty on the heads of the people!" It is difficult to bury the hero's grievances, where to go to avoid the wind and cold for a while! ”

"Yes, yes!"

Gong Shangguo laughed, he leaned against the big tree behind him, his eyes were a little confused, "Brother Gu, I'm a little sleepy." ”

Gu Dan didn't speak.

Gong Shang leaned against the stump, his eyes slowly closed.

"What's going on?"

Many ink artists who were attracted by their voices surrounded them, and in the gradual sleep, Gong Shangguo was awakened by the movement of the outside world for a moment.

In a daze, he saw a large number of ink artists, approaching him, with no end in sight.

That's great!

There was a smile of satisfaction on the face of the princess.

He fell asleep.
