14 Companions

There was no spring shock absorption, no rubber wrapping, and the carriage swayed along the potholed dirt road.

For the first time, Qin Yu knew that he could still get sick.

As soon as he got out of Xixiang, he was tumbling in his stomach, and he couldn't help retching, and the frightened Aunt Qin wanted to send him back directly.

That's not good, it's not easy to go on a long trip, Qin Yu doesn't want his travel plan to be in vain.

Under Qin Yu's strong request, the carriage could only continue to set off, but the speed was not much faster than on foot.

In just a few moments, Qin Yu had already discovered several gangs traveling together. They are all the heads of linen and straw sandals, carrying burdens on their shoulders, carrying parcels in their hands, walking briskly, walking like flying, some wearing brown scarves on their heads, swords hanging from their waists, and their bodies are strong.

They all coincidentally surpassed Qin Yu's carriage.

Some of them couldn't stop looking back at them curiously, and even a leader stepped forward to ask Bo Niu if their carriage was broken and if they needed their help.

Qin Yu sitting on the car to blow the wind and breathe: ......

Bo Niu laughed heartily and said that his family was not in a hurry, and thanked them for their kindness.

The leader of this group looked at the configuration of their carriage, and there were several old women accompanying them, and there were many young maids, and guessed that there should be women and children in the carriage. It is indeed more difficult for women and children to go out, and it is not difficult to understand why this carriage is moving so slowly.

When the leader saw that they were all right, he stopped talking about it and left with his fists in his hands.

Bo Niu went to see Qin Yu and said with a smile: "Little master, do you want to ride with a certain horse?" ”

Qin Yu looked at the tall horse under Bo Niu's buttocks, this is a special Hequ horse of Qin, with a tall body, plump flesh and bones, and very handsome. The horse also seemed to know that Qin Yu was looking at it, so he couldn't help but shake his head and bark, and Qin Yu liked it at once.

He said: "Okay, okay, Chuan doesn't want to take me." ”

Bo Niu bent down on horseback, picked him up from the edge of the car and put him in front of him, and said with a smile: "Chuan himself is not skilled in riding horses, how dare he take you to ride?" ”

Chuan, who was riding a horse in front of him and accompanied by Aunt Qin and his mother's carriage, was not happy when he heard the conversation between Bo Niu and Qin Yu behind, and shouted loudly: "When I am taller, I can ride on the horse as firmly as Uncle Niu." ”

Bo Niu stepped forward and stood side by side with Qin Chuan, Qin Yu went to see the feet that naturally fell on both ends of the horse's belly, and said to Bo Niu: "Uncle Niu, why don't you install two feet like clogs on both sides of the horse's belly, so that people's feet can step on it, and with a focus point, it is like sitting on flat ground, will it be more stable?" ”

Bo Niu frowned: "How can you place the pedal out of thin air?" ”

Qin Yu: "Tie the two pedals, put the rope on the horse's back, and the pedals hang down on both sides of the horse's belly, just like carrying goods on the horse's back." ”

Bo Niu looked at the horse carrying the goods next to him, and seemed to be able to imagine what Qin Yu said about the horse's back and pedals, but he couldn't seem to imagine what it looked like, but he felt that his brain was going to be chaotic and his head hurt.

However, Su Lian, who followed next to him, was thoughtful and said, "When you live in the capital, how about making one for the little master?" ”

Qin Yu's eyes were crooked with a smile: "Okay, Su Lian, I'll just wait for you." ”

Hehe, stirrup, even if you make four dislikes, I can break them for you.

Bo Niu took Qin Yu to ride a horse, but he didn't have the feeling of turning over the river and the sea, so Qin Damu ordered to speed up and try to advance to the gate of the capital at noon.

Halfway through, Qin Yu and his entourage met the group of people who were talking to them on the road again, this time it was these people on horseback and cart who overtook them, and they spent their foot strength on foot, and their speed inevitably slowed down.

The group of people voluntarily stopped and stood on the side of the road to make way for their carriages.

The leader smiled and nodded to Bo Niu, and Bo Niu also greeted him with a fist on the horse, and the two teams only took one photo and passed.

Aunt Qin saw it clearly in the car, she asked the carriage and horses to stop, and Bo Niu took Qin Yu forward to ask, "What does the master mother command?" ”

Aunt Qin asked, "Let's bring a few more horses, do you think you can lend them the cow?" ”

Bo Niu smiled: "The master mother is kind, the slave is a good citizen who abides by the law, if you can lend them horses, it is likely to get their gratitude." ”

That leader, who speaks and behaves calmly, is humble but not inferior, at first glance he has experienced, and what is even more rare is that he has a good heart and is willing to take the initiative to help "meat eaters" like them. The people who followed him were also honest and honest, and there was no roe deer and rat staring at them to annoy people.

In short, after the two of them, Bo Niu has a good impression of this leader and is willing to say good things for him.

Aunt Qin said: "In this case, you go and ask them, are you willing to wait with me." ”

Bo Niu: "Only." ”

Bo Niu turned the horse's head, returned to the leader, and asked him with his fists: "The master mother has asked, my family has a few horses, and my brother and his party are willing to walk with us?" ”

When the leader heard this, his eyes lit up, and the eyes of several men who followed him also lit up, and a few others showed worried looks, and Gu Jun looked at the leader.

The leader also clasped his fists and said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that a few of us are not good at riding horses, but we want to live up to your kindness." "They are all neighbors, and they go together to sell and buy goods in the capital, and they are all heads who have been digging in the soil, some have ridden horses, and some have never even touched a horse. Those of them who can ride horses can't leave behind those who can't ride horses and go first, right? This kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable.

Bo Niu was more kind to him, he said: "It's okay, we still have vehicles to pull goods, and those who don't want to ride horses can take the car, maybe you don't mind the bumps in the carriage?" ”

The men with worried faces immediately smiled and said again and again: "I don't mind." ”

"How?"

"Thank you."

"Very good."

......

Su Lian went to arrange for these people to ride horses and ride in cars, and Bo Niu took the leader to meet Qin's mother.

The leader claimed to be called Nansun, a native of the southern countryside, and this time he went out with Qianshou and Lu Zuoru to buy from the township.

Aunt Qin said a few words to him, and when Su Lian's side was arranged, the carriage of the two teams in one team drove slowly again. Bo Niu took Qin Yu and Nansun to ride horses in parallel to open the road at the front, Qin Chuan rode a horse to accompany Qin Damu and Qin's mother's carriage, Su Lian rode a horse accompanied by a delicate carriage, and their group drove towards Liyang Duxiang together in an orderly manner.

By the time I arrived at the gate of the capital, it was already noon. Everyone took out their horses, took out their handwritings, and examined them for the soldiers guarding the city gates.

Fortunately, there were not many people who entered the city at noon, and they soon entered the city gate of Liyang Township, and Qin Yu himself rode on horseback and looked around curiously, feeling the atmosphere of the second prosperous city of Qin in this era.

Bo Niu said goodbye to Nansun and his party.

This is within the scope of the outer city, and the destination of their trip is here, there is no need to enter the Shaocheng inside, but the Qin family and his party have to continue to walk inside.

But it turned out that Liyang Capital Township was divided into four parts: the palace, the big city, the young city, and the outer city.

As the name suggests, the palace is the palace city of the original Qin State, only the King of Qin, the Queen Mother and other princes and nobles will open to move in when they come to Liyang, and now there are some old palace people and some guards living inside.

The big city is the residence of the wealthy people, the small city is the place where the government office and the market are located, and the outer city is the place where some Qiantou and outsiders temporarily live and trade, which belongs to the periphery of the capital township.

The Qin family's mansion in the capital is in the innermost part of the city, close to the location of the palace. Looking at the historical sense of this mansion, Qin Yu guessed that this should be the place where his great-grandfather Zhao Jichang lived, when he was still the son of Qin, and the scale of the mansion he lived in was different from others.

Aunt Qin led the group to enter from the main gate, all the way to the east, into another mansion, before stopping, let Mother Qin arrange for the servants to do the work, and she herself took a few grandchildren to the main hall.

Aunt Qin pulled Qin Yu and Jiaojiao to sit down in the middle of the mat, and said to the two brothers, Chuan and Luan: "Chuan, you are still familiar with this house, take Luan to go shopping, and recognize your own yard." If you are tired, go and rest first, if you are not tired, take a look everywhere, don't walk around. ”

Chuan and Luan glanced at each other, and they were eager to try: "The grandson is not tired, so I will respect the order of the eldest mother and go to familiarize myself with the courtyard." ”

With that, the two brothers left hand in hand.

Seeing her granddaughter's eyes chasing their backs, Aunt Qin shook her head and said to her granddaughter, "Jiaojiao, if you still have the strength......

Jiaojiao looked at Aunt Qin's eyes brightly, and when she was about to respond, she looked at Qin Yu, who was obviously in poor spirits, and said, "Jiaojiao still has the strength to serve Mother and take care of her younger brother." ”

Mother Qin showed a loving smile and said to her: "Good child, there is a maid here in the eldest mother, you can also go play, this is also your home." ”

Jiaojiao was obviously moved, and Qin Yu also persuaded: "Sister, I'm fine, it's okay to walk on the flat ground, Sister, go play by yourself, bring a cigarette, if someone offends you, shout loudly, I and my brothers will definitely go to save you." ”

Jiaojiao smiled: "Just you? You're not as strong as I am. ”

Qin Yu has a little grievance, the strength of his body is not transferred according to his wishes, he has worked hard to eat and sleep to maintain his body, but the congenital conditions are there, what can he do?

Aunt Qin smiled and said, "Go, bring people, don't wronged yourself." ”

Jiaojiao saw that Aunt Qin and Qin Yu let her go, she was no longer hypocritical, took a cigarette and went to say goodbye to Mother Qin, and went to find her two brothers.

Seeing that Qin Yu was in a state of weakness, his face was a little pale, and he asked him worriedly, "Yu, are you okay?" ”

At this time, the mandarin woman came in, holding a small urn and two pottery bowls in her hand, and she said: "This is the hot water boiled for the little master by the person who went to the house to report the news first, and the slave tried it and can drink it." As he spoke, he scooped a bowl of water with a bucket and spoon and gave it to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu drank a few sips of slightly hot water with the mandarin mandarin woman's hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Qin's mother: "Mother, you also drink some, my grandson feels much more comfortable." ”

, the ancients were so torturous to go out that they couldn't even drink hot water.

Aunt Qin saw that two blushes really rose on Qin Yu's face, touched his little face, and felt that it was not hot, so she drank the water sent by Yuanyuan with confidence, and asked Yuanyuan: "Your housewife and Sichuan have all drunk?" ”

Mandarin Yuan smiled and replied: "I burned a lot, and I have already drunk it." The little master is still exquisite, and people who have traveled far away drink such a bowl of hot water and sweat evilly, which is really much more comfortable. ”

Aunt Qin said: "It's not that he pays attention to it, the truth is like this." He asked Qin Yu again, "Do you want to sleep for a while?" When it's time for the evening meal, can the eldest mother call you up again? ”

Qin Yu rubbed his sour eyes, didn't insist, nodded, and followed Lu Yuan, who had already laid out the futon, to rest.

Aunt Qin looked at Qin Yu's somewhat shaky back and said worriedly: "Yu, this child, it seems that his body has improved in the past two years, but it turns out that he is still very weak." I still remember that when I brought Jiaojiao here, she was younger than a fish, and when she arrived at the place, she didn't even need to rest, so she was all over the yard to have fun, but she was much more skinny. ”

Mandarin Yuan comforted: "There are gods to bless the little master, and the little master will grow up safely." The little master is delicate in life, just take care of it more in the future, and the housewife doesn't have to worry too much. ”

Aunt Qin could only nod and said, "I hope it's as you said." ”
