Chapter II

Their trip had already set off in early spring, almost every day, only a few days ago when the weather returned to cold and cold, and they were delayed for a lot of time.

It's almost there.

The thunder did not affect the hurry, and the speed was even faster after that, as if the more you walked, the faster you walked.

It was Fantou who deliberately raised the speed, the closer he got to Liangzhou, he muttered less, probably in a good mood, and now he was walking, and joked loudly with the left and right: "I want to come to the thunder is not to scare us, it is the heavenly prince who is happy to see Liangzhou, come to join in the fun!" It can be seen that this is a fateful marriage! After joking, he didn't forget to piggyback on Feng Wuji, "Did you say, Feng Langjun?" ”

In response to him, Feng Wuji let out a heavy cold snort, his voice was far away, and he was expected to be following behind.

With such a loud voice, it's hard to make people can't hear it. Shun Yin sat in the car, only to feel that he was noisy and annoying, glanced at the pane, and reached out to pull out a palm-wide folded book from the green brocade baggage next to the seat.

It's a long and long journey, and there's not much to pass the time except for reading.

In fact, she didn't read it for long, and her mind was not on reading books. When the light from the pane was mixed with a trace of tepid sunlight, it was expected that the day was already halfway over, Shunyin folded the book, turned his head to the window and said, "Stop." ”

After walking all the way for so many days, it was the first time she opened her mouth to make a request, and a clever maid outside the car hit the horse and approached the pane and asked, "Does Madame want to drink water or rest?" ”

Shunyin said: "No, there should be a ten-mile pavilion near here, just go there and stop there." ”

Fan Tou had already heard it, and snatched the words loudly: "Madame has been here before, how do you know that there is a ten-mile pavilion here?" ”

Shun Yin replied: "I have seen it in a travelogue in the past, but I have not seen it with my own eyes. ”

"Since I saw it in the past, I guess I remembered it by mistake, I didn't see any Ten Mile Pavilion in front of me when I went to Chang'an!" Fantou disagreed.

"Unless it's a typo." Shunyin said.

"Huh?" Sitting on his horse, he looked back at the carriage inexplicably, wondering what he meant, and how could he be so sure that he remembered correctly!

An entourage next to him leaned over and whispered to him: There was originally a ten-mile pavilion, but it was just on the side facing the mountain, and because the official road had already been diverted, it was not in front of it.

Fantou suddenly felt that he had been slapped in the face, and even Bai Follower glanced at the carriage several times, so he had to shake his hand and say, "Then listen to Madame, go and stop there!" ”

The team followed as they were told, heading to the side and stopping outside the old and dilapidated Ten Mile Pavilion.

As soon as the car stopped, Shunyin opened the bamboo curtain of the car door and leaned out.

A servant girl came and put down the pier, and she stepped on the pier and got out of the car, lifted her hat, and walked straight to the back of the carriage.

Feng Wujian was following behind, the team was going faster and faster, but he was walking slower and slower, and at this time, he was riding a horse far behind, as if he didn't want to go any further.

Seeing that Shunyin got out of the car and was walking towards him, he clamped the horse's belly and trotted to her.

Shunyin stopped in front of his horse: "It's time for the separation." ”

When he heard this, he knew that he was going to say goodbye to this Feng family Langjun who had been angry all the way, and he couldn't ask for it, so he immediately beckoned the left and right to beat the horse to the side, so that his sister and brother could say goodbye quickly.

Otherwise, facing such a cold-faced gentleman every day, those who don't know really think that they are here to cheat marriage!

Feng Wujian got off the horse and nodded at Shunyin reluctantly.

He couldn't get married to the end of this trip, because he had to rush to work.

It is about the reason for the letter of the governor of Liangzhou, since the sage already knows, he naturally has to really come up with some meaning of "the holy grace is in the northwest", in order to make Shunyin marry better, this time not only rewarded the dowry, but also specially gave Feng Wujian an official position of Qinzhou soldier to join the army.

Although the rank of an outgoing official is not high, in any case, it is much better than before. After all, before this, the Feng family had no chance of career.

"Why bother with a bitter face," Shun Yin said, "The Feng family has nothing, but now it has a chance to turn around, and it should be rejoicing." ”

Feng Wuji said sullenly: "But no matter how you look at it, it seems that my sister has changed my future." ”

"How do you know it's not my own?"

Feng Wujian was stunned.

Shun Yin said lightly: "I myself have long been tired of being trapped in Chang'an. ”

Feng Wujian opened her mouth, remembering that Chang'an in the past few years really didn't have any pleasant memories for her, and she couldn't find anything to say.

Shunyin turned his head to look at the bored horse in the distance, turned around and whispered, "I have a few words to explain to you before leaving." Today's saints attach great importance to the frontier, and the world knows it. After you go to Qinzhou, if you can watch the border defense for the sage and fill his eyes and ears, it is possible to seize the opportunity to revitalize the Feng family. After a pause, she added, "I'll help you." ”

Feng Wujian looked at her in surprise, she didn't expect her to think so far, could it be that she didn't care about marriage all the way, and she was thinking about it? Then he reacted again and hurriedly approached: "You won't be ...... I'm still worried that you're not doing well in Liangzhou, how can you help me? After all, you're ...... now."

Shunyin's face under the veil was indistinguishable, so he smiled indifferently: "It's okay, don't worry about me, you just need to make sure that you are safe and sound." ”

Feng Wujian wanted to say something more, but she had already raised her hand and signaled him to get on the horse.

"Go ahead."

In the distance, the horses of Fantou and his retinue neighed twice in succession, as if they were invisibly urging.

Feng Wujian had no choice but to shut up and get on the horse, and he was still angry with that group of people in his heart, but looking at Shunyin, there was only reluctance and sorrow in his eyes, and he suddenly pinched the reins and said: "Sister, don't worry, Qinzhou is not too far from Liangzhou, I will find an opportunity to visit you one day, if I find out that you are not married well, the other party is the king of heaven, and I will also settle accounts with him!" After speaking, he immediately turned the horse's head and patted the horse away, for fear that if he said more, he would be red-eyed.

Shun Yin didn't say anything, facing the wind, he watched him gallop away, until his figure was hidden by the flying dust and sand, and turned around and walked towards the carriage.

Fantou sat on the horse and watched from afar until now, but he didn't hear what the two sisters and brothers said, but he saw that Feng Jialangjun was running fast, as if he was about to cry, and he was about to roll his eyes, what is this sad? Is it to get married or to jump into the fire pit! Tut-tut......

He touched his beard, stared at Shunyin who walked back with a pair of round eyes, watched her steps, the hat and veil fluttered lightly in the wind, and the posture was really indescribably delicate and pitiful, but although he couldn't see his face clearly, he gave people a cold feeling, as if there was nothing at all, which couldn't help but make people strange.

In fact, he had long thought the new lady was weird.

The first time they went to greet their relatives, they went to a Taoist temple on the outskirts of Chang'an, which is said to be the residence of this "noble girl".

Obviously, the mother was still at home, but the team didn't come to see him off when they set off, so he saw off his younger brother. She married so far away that she didn't cry or make trouble, and a retinue beside her didn't say that in addition to the dowry given by the saint, her personal luggage was a green brocade burden brought to the car, and the maid said that it seemed that a few pieces of clothing were removed from the paper, pen and paper.

It seems that those high-ranking families, five surnames and seven hopes are nothing more than that, and they are just like that when they are down.

With emotion, Shunyin boarded the car.

The horses were grazing happily, and restlessly flicked their hooves, and the folded book in the cart which she had seen before was confiscated, and slid out with the movement of the cart, and fell to the ground.

The maidservant hurriedly chased after him to pick it up.

Fantou was already in a hurry to get on the road, and said impatiently: "Isn't it just a book, Liangzhou also has it, you don't have to pick it up!" ”

Shunyin picked up the bamboo curtain and said, "Pick it up, there is my manuscript in it." ”

Fan Tou was suddenly surprised, and his voice became louder: "Yo, I can't imagine that Mrs. will write her own article?" ”

Shun Yin turned his head slightly, facing him through the light veil: "I just have nothing to do to pass the time." There are other books here, so it's better to lend them to Fantou, so as not to relieve your boredom along the way. ”

He grinned: "I only know a few words." ”

Shun Yin also laughed: "I heard you answer Brother She's words one by one, and you have a good tongue, and you are well-read." ”

"......" Fan suddenly couldn't laugh, and coughed dryly. I understand, it turned out that he had already seen that he was teasing her brother, waiting for him here, he was actually a tempered person!

The maid picked up the folded book, and Shunyin took it with one hand and put down the bamboo curtain.

It wasn't until the car under her drove forward that she took off her hat and looked down at the wrinkled hem of her skirt. It was just when he said goodbye to his younger brother that he was holding his heart down, and his fingers were clenched too hard, and now his palms are spread out, and his knuckles are still white.

She closed her eyes, opened them again, and whispered to herself: "It's okay, it's worth it......"

Fantou was about stimulated, and he never stopped all the way back, shouting "go quickly, go quickly" at every turn, and he rushed for three hours in a row, and even the meal was on the way, and he was reluctant to delay for half a time.

In the end, it is the northwest land, and the sunset is late. When the setting sun dragged the last rays of light down the hill, the team finally stopped.

Shun Yin was too lazy to bother with Fantou, so he let him toss, and almost kept his eyes closed when he was in a hurry.

At this time, she felt that the wind outside seemed to be quieter, so she opened her eyes and glanced out of the window, and through the curtains, she could vaguely see a towering city wall in front of her.

She has counted, no wonder Fantou is in such a hurry, she originally wanted to pass the pass today, and she thought that this was the gateway to Liangzhou.

Sure enough, Fantou said in a rough voice outside: "Madam, you have arrived at Huining Pass, you have to be careful after passing the pass, after all, we have a lot of people here, but it is not as good as the Central Plains Imperial Capital!" ”

Shun Yin only thought that he was deliberately repaying the mockery he had made at him, and ignored it at all, still holding the curtain to look at the towering pass city wall outside, as well as the shadowy guards on the city wall, and glanced twice before retracting his gaze.

He didn't say anything, and turned his head to go to the front to knock: "What about the guard?" Hurry up and switch and let us in! ”

A guard shouted back from above: "The pass is closed, nothing to pass tomorrow!" ”

"Who said nothing! We were ordered to greet our relatives! ”

The tone of the guards above was equally unkind: "Who is it for?" ”

Shunyin listened to the shouts outside in the car, thinking that she couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore.

In the next moment, Fantou really shouted: "Liangzhou marching Sima!" ”

Shunyin raised her eyebrows, it turned out that she was going to marry Sima of the Liangzhou Marching Army?

Then it is not surprising that the Liangzhou Governor will personally inquire about the marriage. The marching Sima is in charge of the government and participates in government affairs, which is an important position of real power, belonging to the right hand of the governor, and his status is only under the governor.

She now wondered how she could have picked the current self.

The guards outside are still unrelenting: "Which Liangzhou marching Sima?" ”

Fantou even took out the warrant, but he raised his head and called until now, he was impatient, and when he heard this, he was furious, and he opened his mouth and scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes!" How many marching horses are there in Liangzhou? Marching Sima Mu Changzhou! ”

After roaring, there was silence in all directions, and suddenly I heard a soft question from the carriage behind me: "Who?" ”

Fantou frowned and glared back at the carriage, thinking that he was mocking himself again, and he couldn't hear it clearly so loudly? simply roared again: "Liangzhou marching Sima, Mu Changzhou!" ”

In the carriage, Shunyin sat on the right side, close to the pane, still holding the curtain in one hand, stunned, and only then did he be sure that he had heard correctly.

Mu Changzhou?

Chapter III

It's been a long time since I've heard that name.

But almost the moment he heard it, a long-lost figure appeared in Shunyin's mind, along with those long-term memories of his youth.

At that time, she was still a veritable noble lady in Chang'an City. 's father not only inherited the title of Duke of the Secret Kingdom of his ancestors, but also served as the secretary of the military department of the dynasty; Her mother was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang and was awarded the title of Lady of the County.

Even if there are countless powerful people in the two capitals, the Feng family can definitely be regarded as the best among them, and the glory is infinite.

When he was nine years old, the Feng family welcomed a guest.

The Duke of Wuwei County in Liangzhou had a slight friendship with her father in his early years, and he had an adopted son under his knees, who was said to be quite literate, because he wanted to enter Beijing to study and prepare for the exam, and borrowed the Feng family.

The brothers and sisters in the clan all said that there are many heroes in the land of Hexi, and the Gongmu clan of Wuwei County must also be the same, but I don't know what this adopted son looks like.

The Feng family once passed on the law to the family, but when it came to Shunyin's father's generation, he made military achievements, and her father was able to sit in the military department, and the clansmen naturally admired the heroic and brave style.

But some people immediately speculated that the other party may be very old, after all, those who can enter Beijing to prepare for the exam have studied hard for many years, and some have not been able to enter the Jinshi until they enter the soil. It is possible that this person was just attached to the Duke of Wuwei because of his power, and he was adopted as an adopted son.
