Chapter 89: Separation, for the next reunion
Jiang Wenyuan was not shocked, and went to the ministry to report on his work step by step, what should he do.
In the evening, Qin Jue came to pick him up, and went up to the flat building with Yuan Yun, the prince of Zhenguo, to drink and catch up.
During the banquet, Yuan Yun said: "I said Shuyi, (Jiang Wenyuan, the word Shuyi) You are too honest."
Suzhou is not a good place, and others can't hide, so you can find an excuse to push it. With your merits, Your Majesty will definitely give this face. ”
Jiang Wenyuan shook his head and said, "The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en. No, I'm going to be someone else, there has to be someone else. ”
Yuan Yun shook his head and said, "Yes, it's stupid to farm." ”
Since he decided to follow his parents to Qingzhou, Jiang Yuqing went to the medical hall for half a day every day these days, trying to teach the students and brothers what he could teach.
In the afternoon, I accompanied my family to walk around in Beijing, buy some delicious and fun food, go to the opera garden to listen to the play, and go to the teahouse to listen to people's stories. I even went to Baoyue Tower to participate in an auction.
At the auction, when the old couple saw many people spending a lot of money for a famous calligraphy and painting of the previous dynasty or an antiquity, their hearts were pumping.
couldn't help but complain, "It's just such a thing, it shouldn't be eaten or drunk, and it costs so much money to buy it, it's really a sin." ”
Fortunately, the Jiang family sat in the box upstairs, otherwise they would have to let the family spit on the stars and spray them to death.
Because it was the height of summer, it was hot. There are no activities held in Beijing, and the Jiang family is also happy.
Jiang Yuqing cherishes the good time with his grandparents every day. Still, the day of separation soon came.
Although he had given the old couple oral spiritual milk that could increase their life span for ten years, Jiang Yuqing was still worried that the old couple and his brother would not be able to resist the terrible weather on the road.
So two days in advance, after they fell asleep, they used rejuvenation surgery to comb and treat their bodies one by one.
Got rid of some of the most subtle faults. After that, they each gave them a ray of life.
With these guarantees, nothing should happen.
The day before departing for Suzhou. Emperor Xia Jing recruited Jiang Wenyuan into the palace again.
Emperor Xia Jing said: "The road to Suzhou is not very smooth, I am afraid that there are mountain bandits blocking the road." I have sent a team of Feather Forest Guards to escort you.
In addition, the sword I gave you before is still valid, and anyone who encounters the most heinous crimes of corrupt officials can be cut first and then played.
I will give you the right to transfer troops, and if you encounter bandits or something that cannot be solved, you can mobilize troops nearby to destroy them. ”
With such a great power, it can be said that Qin Cha is nothing more than that.
Death for a confidant.
Jiang Wenyuan was immediately moved to tears, and bowed down for a long time: "Minister, you will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!" ”
Despite the reluctance, the day of separation still came.
On 16 July, I heard that Jiang Yuqing was going to follow her parents to the northwest to take up her post, but everyone she knew and knew was coming.
Master, senior brother and son, second senior brother, as well as many students and doctors in the medical hall, Yuan Wuyang from the Zhenguo Mansion, Wei Lingyun from the Hussar General's Mansion, etc., and even Jing Yan and Li Deshun also came.
Tuanzi said goodbye to them one by one, and when it was Jing Yan's turn, he gently touched her little head: "Protect yourself, when you get to the place, remember to write to me." ”
Danzi nodded: "I will!" You also have to take care. ”
"Hmm."
Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end.
A month after the low-key Jiang family entered Beijing, they left Beijing in a high-profile manner under the escort of a team of Yulin guards.
The carriage walked to Wuli Pavilion outside the city, which is another three-way intersection. Here, the Jiang family will be divided into two groups.
The old couple took their little grandson Jiang Yuchuan to the south, escorted by the guards of the Hou Mansion, and returned to their hometown in Qingzhou.
Jiang Wenyuan and his wife took their youngest daughter to the northwest and went to Suzhou under the escort of Yu Linwei.
When they were about to part, Jiang Yuqing hugged her grandparents and brother, and her tears fell one after another, and she was reluctant. Everyone else wiped their tears.
For the first time, the old man felt that it was not good for his children and grandchildren to be too promising. It's too promising, it's for the imperial court.
It's better to be mediocre, like the eldest son and the second son are very good, the official is small, close to home, and he can come back to see his old man from time to time.
As the sun grew, the convoy had to hit the road again. Watching the two teams drift away and gradually disappear from each other, the group cried again.
Bai Xiaoshi persuaded her in the spiritual realm: "They are for the next reunion." What is there to cry about, miss them and go back and see them is. It's not like I don't want you! ”
Jiang Yuqing woke up instantly, yes. Patronizing and sad, he forgot about Bai Xiaoshi.
So the dango was happy again.
Jiang Wenyuan and his wife were relieved when they saw that their daughter was smiling again. A child is a child, no matter how smart he is, he is also forgetful, and he will forget the sorrow of parting after a while.
Because the weather was too hot, Jiang Wenyuan was afraid that his entourage would suffer from heat stroke, so he rested in a tea house on the side of the road at noon. wrapped the mung bean soup cooked by the boss, and let everyone drink two large bowls.
It was not until the middle of the day that the convoy was ordered to continue to set off.
In the evening, the convoy rested in the post management hall on the side of the official road. Jiang Yuqing took out a specially prepared medicine bag and asked the officials in the post house to cook it and distribute it to prevent everyone from suffering from heat stroke.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, just after dawn, the convoy set off again. When the sun is not rising, walk more so that you can rest more in the middle of the day.
In this way, they walked on the road for seven or eight days in a row, and the group had already reached the territory of Jinju. That night, after a burst of lightning and thunder, God finally admired his face, and a heavy rain fell.
This heavy rain took away the heat for several days, and really made the big guys sleep well.
When I woke up the next day, I swept away the decadence of the day, and I was in good spirits. After a simple breakfast, the convoy hit the road again.
Another day passed, and by sunset it was more than thirty miles away from a small town in front of us. Yu Linwei, who was exploring the way, came back and said that there was a small village nearby, and he might be able to go and spend the night.
Jiang Wenyuan then ordered to go to the village to spend the night.
This small village of just over 30 households has never had so many outsiders come at once. When the village chief heard the news that a strange convoy had entered the village, he hurried to meet him.
The village chief is a man in his forties, and the farthest place he went to is the county seat, and it was the first time he had seen such a big battle.
He said cautiously: "I don't know where you came from, what is the matter with coming to our village?" ”
Jiang Wenyuan got out of the car, waved to the village chief, and said politely: "This big brother, we are from Lingzhou Mansion and going to Suzhou. Because I missed the accommodation, I want to come to your village for a night, and I ask the eldest brother to make it convenient. ”
The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard Zero State: "Zero State is here." Yours Zero State is a great place to specialize in high-yield food. ”
Jiang Wenyuan smiled slightly: "Lingzhou is indeed a good place, and your Jinzhou is not bad."
When I first entered the village, I saw that you had planted a lot of sweet potatoes in your fields, and they were growing very well, and I thought that there should be a good harvest this year. ”
When the village chief heard this, he immediately let go of half of his heart: "Haha, borrow your auspicious words." He pointed to the carriage, "What's in the carriage?"
Their team, dozens of horsemen, were all well-trained and strong men, all of them equipped with weapons.
He was really a little afraid, if it was a bad person, he would not be able to bring trouble to the whole village?
Jiang Wenyuan also noticed the village chief's hesitation and said, "In the carriage are the family members below. ”
As soon as the words fell, a small head emerged from the second Mali: "Daddy! The dumplings said in a milky voice: "Can we stay here?" ”
As she spoke, she asked her to be carried out of the carriage. Dada ran over and stood next to her father's lap.
Jiang Wenyuan touched the top of his daughter's soft hair lovingly, and replied with a smile: "This father can't be the master, I have to ask this uncle." ”
Tuanzi tilted his head and looked at the village chief with a pair of big grape eyes: "Uncle, can we borrow it here for one night!"
I promise, we're not bad guys and we're not going to make trouble. ”
The village chief was completely relieved when he saw such a cute and soft little girl. Besides, he had never seen such a polite bad guy.
The village chief smiled and said, "Yes, you can come with me!" ”
Jiang Wenyuan arched his hand at him again: "Thank you." This is a little girl, and it makes you smile. ”
The village chief said: "What a good child, unlike a few leather monkeys in my family, who are often so angry that I hate to smoke bamboo strips." ”
"Haha, children are like this, just wait until they are older."
In this way, Jiang Wenyuan hugged his daughter and followed the village chief into the small village.
There is an empty yard in the village, which is well maintained, at least it looks like it can be lived.
It was a lonely old man, and after the old man went, the courtyard returned to the village.
The furniture is still there, although it is a little simpler, but it is clean.
Jiang Wenyuan's family of three lived in the East Chamber. Mama Yan and Eryu, as well as Lichun, Gu Yu, Lixia and Xiaoman, lived in the West Chamber.
The rest of the people spent the night in the hall and the utility room.
When the Yulin guards went out on a mission, they didn't sleep anywhere. This place is already good for them.
Jiang Wenyuan gave the village chief some silver taels and asked him to find two women to cook a meal for everyone.
The village chief said: "My wife and daughter-in-law's tea and rice skills are quite good in the village, if you don't mind, it's good to let them come." ”
Jiang Wenyuan said: "Naturally. We have rice, noodles and jerky with us, and if you have fresh vegetables at home, you can also sell some to us. I can't thank you enough! ”
The village chief smiled and said, "Yes, please wait a minute. ”
After the village chief returned, he brought his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law over not long after.
When these two men came, they still brought pots and pans. Thinking about it, it is clear that there is no shortage of tables and chairs in this room, but there are no pots.
While the village chief's daughter was cooking, a shy boy of sixteen or seventeen years old came outside and sold a few freshly caught rabbits.
Jiang Wenyuan saw that the rabbit was very fresh, so he spent money to buy it. self
There are many people in the house, all of them can eat, and these rabbits are afraid that they are not enough, so I asked the young man, but there are other prey.
The young man said happily: "Yes, I also hunted a little roe deer, and it is still alive." I'm going to send it to the city tomorrow to sell! ”
Jiang Wenyuan said: "Don't send it to the city, let's bring it here together." ”
The boy ran away happily.
The village chief's mother-in-law is a talkative woman and said, "This child wandered here with her mother, and I heard that her hometown is from Lingzhou."
His mother died of illness on the side of the road, and he was picked up by the lonely old hunters in the village and raised him.
Until last year, the old Orion also died, leaving him alone. His family had no land, so he could only go to the mountains from time to time to hunt some game to sell. ”
"Zero State, you mean he's from Zero State?"
The village chief's daughter-in-law said, "It seems to be." My wife doesn't know a single word, and I don't know where Lingzhou is, but I only know that it is far to the south, where there is a red summer and high-yield rice. ”
Jiang Wenyuan was thoughtful.
After a while, the boy came back with a small roe deer. He was afraid that the village chief's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not be able to deal with it, so he helped kill him.
Jiang Wenyuan always felt that this young man was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he asked him, "What's your name?" ”
The young man wiped the deer blood splashed on his face and said, "My name is Hu Yangming." ”
Jiang Wenyuan was even more surprised: "I heard that your hometown is from Zero State?" ”
The young man nodded: "Well, Qingzhou County, the capital of Zero State." ”
Jiang Wenyuan's heart trembled: "Your father's name is Hu Baozhun?" Qingzhou County's South Wind. ”
The wooden basin in the young man's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and his eyes glared at the boss: "You, how do you know?" ”
"I also know your grandfather's name, and you also have an aunt named Hu Yuzhen who married in Xijindu, Qingzhou County, am I right?"
"Right...... All right. So, are you from my hometown? ”
Jiang Wenyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes were a little hot: "Strictly speaking, you have to call me a cousin."
Your grandfather is my uncle, and my mother is your aunt. And your real father is my real cousin! ”
The boy was stunned, and so were the people in the yard.
Jiang Wenyuan asked Hu Yangming to wash and go into the house to talk. The young man Mumu went, and it seemed that he had not yet woken up from the state of confusion when he suddenly met his relatives.
Lu and Jiang Yuqing were very surprised when they heard that the boy who sold rabbits just now was actually the maiden nephew of the old Hu family.
Lu entered the door late, and when she entered the door, Hu Baozhun had been gone for several years, and her uncle was also paralyzed in bed.
I only heard that the second year after my cousin died, my cousin-in-law remarried with her children, and there was no news since. But I never thought that I would meet it here.
Hu Yangming entered the house, Jiang Wenyuan asked him about his experience over the years, and knew that it was really not easy for the child to live these things.
His mother was forced by his family to remarry, married to a lame man in the neighboring state capital.
The new husband's family has always been very bad to him because they dislike him for dragging oil bottles.
Beating and scolding and not having enough to eat is a common thing. finally bumped into it and grew to the age of ten.
Once, while his mother was not at home, the lame man secretly sold him.
When his mother found out, she chased after him, and ran after the carriage of Yaxing for three days, and snatched him from the traffickers with a desperate force.
After escaping, her mother thought that her original home could not stay, so she planned to take him back to Xijindu, Qingzhou to join his aunt.
However, neither of them could read a single word, so they had to inquire about the way back to Qingzhou with a passing caravan.
I don't know if it's because his mother didn't say it clearly, or if the person who pointed the way didn't hear it clearly, or if it was a problem with the dialect.
They obviously wanted to go back to Qingzhou, but the caravan thought they were going to Jinzhou, and took them all the way very kindly.
When the mother and son found out that something was wrong and asked again, they found that they had gone in the opposite direction and ran to Jinju.
The caravan went all the way west, and it was impossible to send the mother and son back. I had to give my mother a little money and let them find their way home.
I never thought that because of the long distance and the rain on the way, his mother was sick and sick, and died on the side of the road before he could get out of Jinju.
Just as he was crying heartbreakingly, the old hunter of the village came back from hunting and found him.
He also helped him bury his mother, and from then on he lived in this small village with the old hunter, and this stay was seven years.
