Chapter 23: The old man parted, and the slave and maid caressed him

"What's your name?" He Hanwen asked the coachman.

The coachman was just about to whip the horse, but when he heard He Hanwen's question, he lightly "shouted", stopped the horse's steps, turned half his head sideways and replied: "Son, the little tide maker is from the old lady's side." The old lady has arranged a place for you to live in Zhuozhou, and the little one has been waiting for you. ”

"I haven't seen you before, are you really grandma's person?" He Hanwen asked rhetorically.

"Oh yes, you've really wronged the little one. We've been taking care of it in Zhuozhou, and we only came back three months ago, no, we just happened to be sent over by the old lady again! To be honest, we didn't want to go on this trip, but the little one also heard about the son. Don't worry, the old lady has pointed out the new master to the little one, and we will be your people in the future... "This coachman is a guy who is long-winded and likes to talk to himself, no, he answered He Hanwen's question while urging the carriage.

The chatter of the tide was accompanied by the "creaking" sound of the carriage bearings, but it did not seem annoying.

He Hanwen was embarrassed by Chao'er's verbosity, and he wanted to interrupt Chao'er's self-talk several times, but he didn't even interject.

However, He Hanwen gradually discovered that although the tide maker nagged, he had obviously been to many places, and his mouth seemed to have endless words about the characteristics of various places: culture, scenic spots, food, and customs. It didn't seem lonely along the way, but Xiaozhu dragged his cheeks, as if he was fascinated.

Slowly, in the chattering explanation of the tide, He Hanwen gradually fell asleep.

When we reached the east gate of Luoyang, the carriage stopped.

"Why are you stationed on the horse?" He Hanwen woke up.

"Young Master, it's Lord Cao's carriage. Lo and behold, the flag has the word "Cao" written on it. Xiaozhu immediately lifted the curtain by the carriage window, glanced at it quickly, and then told He Hanwen.

"What! Brother Meng De, quickly get out of the car with me and see you!" He Hanwen lifted the blanket covering his leg - although he could walk, his leg injury was not yet healed, and sometimes he felt a little cold in his knee.

Cao Cao was also preparing to go to Dunqiu to take office, he heard that He Hanwen set off this morning, and knew that he wanted to go to Zhuozhou, and he was going to go to the east gate, so Cao Cao waited here for about an hour.

"Hanwen!" He Hanwen had just gotten out of the car when he heard Cao Cao call him.

"Brother Meng De!" He Hanwen didn't care about his leg injury, he tilted his body and walked towards Cao Cao, and their hands were clasped tightly together.

"Hanwen, let's go here, we will be separated from each other from now on, I don't know when we will be able to meet!" Cao Cao was also excited, crying and speaking.

There were tears falling from the corners of He Hanwen's eyes, but he fought hard and said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, in the vast world, you and I are scattered, all are fate, Hanwen believes that we will be able to meet again!"

The two brothers talked for a long time, until it was just noon, and the journey could no longer be delayed, so they said goodbye. He Hanwen went to the east and turned to the north, while Cao Cao slashed in the northeast, and the path of the two gradually became clear.

"Young master, take a closer look at your eyes, the sun is so poisonous. Xiaozhu saw that He Hanwen had been staring at the whereabouts of Cao Cao's convoy from the window of the carriage, and thinking of the reluctance of the two when they were separated, he could only persuade his master from another angle.

"It's okay, lo and behold, you can still see the figure vaguely. He Hanwen didn't care what Xiaozhu said.

Xiaozhu looked in the direction of He Hanwen's finger, only to see a piece of smoke and dust, the light of the sun shone down, the stinging person's eyes hurt, where else can I see any figure?

"Young master, you are reluctant, Lord Cao's convoy has long been unable to find a shadow!" Xiao Zhu persuaded again.

He Hanwen also knew that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, if the two places were separated and there were no cars and horses to travel, it would be a few years, and they might not be able to see each other. Dunqiu is actually on the border of Henan, not far from Zhuozhou. However, in this era, it is a distance like a ravine, which is prohibitive. After all, it is difficult for him and Cao Cao to meet in a short period of time.

"Langchao'er, are you familiar with Zhuozhou?" He Hanwen suddenly asked, although he was a Beijinger, he had never been active near Zhuozhou. Moreover, he thinks that the current Zhuozhou must be very different from the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and at this time he needs a spirited snake to be a guide.

"Young master, you really asked the little one. The small one is from Zhuozhou, and then there was a famine in Zhuozhou, and the little father starved to death, so he took a younger sister to beg for food in Beihai, and happened to be taken in by the old lady, so that the little one was a coachman, and the little sister found a local rich family as a concubine.

He Hanwen suddenly found that half of the reason why he admired and quickly trusted this coachman was because of his sincerity and enthusiasm, and the other half was because of his accent - He Hanwen was also an old North before he crossed over!

However, in this life, he was born in the He family. So, he had to pay careful attention to the speculation and learn the Nanyang and Luoyang accents, which made him very uncomfortable - although the Beijingers are very tolerant of accents, it is quite deflating to let them lose their accents and use them elsewhere.

He Hanwen: "How far is Dunqiu from Zhuojun?"

"There must be more than 900 miles!"

He Hanwen: "If you go by car, day and night, how many days will it take?"

"It will take more than two months." ”

He Hanwen: "So slow?"

Lang Chao'er: "Young master, this is still a fast mile! If it is an ordinary speed, if it is our speed here, it will be half a year smaller! If it is a solo ride, day and night, it can be reached in 12 days." However, this is the speed of elite light cavalry, and ordinary cavalry does not have such physical strength!"

He Hanwen: "It seems that if you want to find Brother Meng De, I am afraid it is hopeless!"

Chao'er: "That's right, I heard that the young master wanted to ask Lord Lu for the scriptures, I'm afraid it was just as the young master said." It may take more than half a year to go back and forth. ”

He Hanwen: "If that's the case, won't it take us about a year to get to Zhuozhou?"

Chao'er: "Yes, yes." ”

He Hanwen was silent. The journey had just begun, but he already had a sense of fatigue from this trip, so he unconsciously squirmed Li Shen's fur, Li Shen showed his body dissatisfied, and swept He Hanwen's fingers with his tail, which scared Xiaozhu a lot.

"Master, this cat。。。 Xiaozhu asked puzzledly, of course she remembered Li Shen, Li Shen often appeared in Hefu, but he was quiet, not noisy or noisy. Xiaozhu and Qiao'er, including Mrs. He, can often be seen.

"How could I leave her behind!What do you think of the name Li Shen?" He Hanwen said to Xiaozhu with a smile.

"The young master said okay, okay. Xiaozhu was not ready to answer this question head-on, naming a cat, in Xiaozhu's opinion, it was another unusual move of his young master.

"It's a long journey!" He Hanwen muttered.

When Xiaozhu heard this, he put the burden aside, then grabbed He Hanwen's arm, and said, "Young master, no matter how long or far away, the concubine will accompany the young master." ”

Xiaozhu has reached the age of marriage, and it is normal to have some thoughts.

"Hmph... How dare He Hanwen promise at will, he only let out an unexplained hum from his nose and fooled him.
