Damou is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river.

Yang Tianao originally wanted the sergeants to rest for another night, but he couldn't bear the chatter of a civilian official on the side.

According to his usual temperament, he naturally pretended to turn a blind eye, but today is different from the past, yesterday there was a letter from the army: traitorous ministers are in charge, gossipes confuse the saints, fear that there will be changes in the court, and hope that the king will quickly whip up.

More than half a month has passed since the calculation of time, so time is not waiting for me.

He, had to pay attention.

Adjutant General Han Ming knew that the general was worried, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to urge the sergeants to hurry overnight.

After three days of non-stop, I caught up with the journey.

Although Yang Tianao was stern, he couldn't bear to be too tired, and since he was about to arrive at the city, he said, "Rest in place for one night." ”

The crowd cheered.

Night

Although it has passed the northern desert, the wind and sand in this barren north have never been small, and in the middle of the night, it is also unbearable. It shouldn't have been

Even if he sleeps in the open all year round, he doesn't live too much, let alone the small sand, and he is even colder and curled up in a ball, shivering uncontrollably.

Yang Tianao put on the only wind-resistant coat on his body, and tightened it tightly, for fear of being stolen by the wind. Gradually, the boy's breathing became calm and rhythmic.

streaming down

There is movement.

The first to react was Yang Tianao, followed by the deputy general Han Ming, and the two glanced at each other in the dark night by the only firelight.

Han Ming understood, one turned over, raised the sand cover with a knife to extinguish the fire, and the other turned over and pulled out a knife. Yang Tianao also pulled out the knife he carried with him, and the two of them prostrate on the ground.

I saw a few black shadows slowly approaching in front of me, and it was estimated that there were not many people, and they should be some barbarians who did some petty theft to make a living. These barbarians are widely dispersed, and there are all over the wilderness, and some of them even feed on human flesh, which is very terrifying. They hunted down merchants or civilians in droves. He has signed a joint letter with several military generals more than once, but he was said by those traitorous ministers, but a few uncivilized barbarians can't get in the way, and besides, in the huge wilderness, these barbarians are scattered and widespread, and if they suppress the barbarians, it will really cost the people and money.

The one who was the leader was more daring, and it should be the leader of several people, when he saw the bag on the side, he poked it with a knife first, and the people behind him muttered and didn't know what to say, so he put the contents into the sack he brought with him.

Knock, those things and the sand made a dull sound, and the leader motioned to the other person to make a quieter sound, listen to the movement, it should be some dry food, if it is just like this, Yang Tianao does not want to add any more lives. Moreover, the barbarians have lived in a bad environment since childhood, and they are all strong and strong, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to fight with them.

After a while, these people packed a sack and prepared to leave, and Yang Tianao also let go of the knife in his hand.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a figure tiptoeing, he moved to a snoring soldier, his hand was not honestly touching something, the soldier was really tired, and he was in a hurry overnight, so he slept very hard, and the sound was one after another. The man was not far from them, Han Ming wanted to get up, but was stopped by Yang Tianao, but the knife in his hand was clenched again.

The head of the barbarian, who had just left for a long time, found that there was one person missing, and quickly turned back, saw that the man was squatting on a person's body and groping, and gave the person a shudder on the head.

The man was in pain, and the two of them muttered something again, and disappeared into the wind and sand.

Seeing that the young man next to him turned over, Yang Tianao hurriedly wrapped the slippery coat for him to avoid catching a cold.

Wind, Xiao Xiaoxi.

Sand, tangled.

The next day, several soldiers scolded and cursed, and I don't know which one killed a thousand knives, stabbed his bags, and caused everyone to lose rations.

Yang Tianao was silent and asked Han Ming to deal with it, and after a while, he stopped complaining and continued to hurry.

The boy slept well yesterday, at first he felt cold, then he felt warm, and he was stable for the night. When I got up in the morning, I saw Yang Tianao and found that he was wearing one less coat, so I realized that the one on my body was his, and whispered thank you, and never spoke again.

Later, I encountered another wave of rogues, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was not a rogue at all, but like a well-trained soldier who had changed his body. If you keep your mouth alive, let's not talk about whether you can ask something, in case one accidentally runs away, and I don't know what kind of moth will be provoked.

Yang Tianao is not a fool, he has a mirror in his heart and lets Han Ming deal with it.

After three days of hurrying, I finally arrived in Xining, which is still some distance away from Bianjing, but I can already take the official road, I don't have to worry about the bandits, and the cars and horses can also pass.

Yang Tianao and Han Ming briefly explained a few words, and then took the little sand and left.

Seven days later, Bianjing.

Yang Tianao didn't take his wife with him, this time he was too hurried, and the horse riding was too bumpy, so he was afraid that the old man would not be able to bear it, so he asked Han Ming to hire a carriage with the army.

I wanted to turn to Jianghuai and transfer to Bianjing, but time was urgent, so I had to go to Bianjing first.

Let the iron bull in the east of the city take care of the young man on his behalf, and he has to go back to the palace first.

Tie Niu followed Yang Tianao in the military camp in the early years, a young man, arrogant, not afraid of the sky, not afraid of the earth, fought everywhere, broke a leg, and then retired from the army. Her daughter-in-law is a rural woman with little education, and the conditions at home are not good, but now she has added a mouth to eat, and her speech is naturally scathing. Tie Niu is a man in the army, and he is an old friend of Yang Tianao, so he feels that his face is dull, but he is not easy to open his mouth.

What kind of man is useless, his own life is cheap, relying on some meager subsidies to survive, and he pretends to wipe tears intentionally or unintentionally. It wasn't until Yang Tianao put down ten taels of silver that he happily said that he would definitely raise the boy to be fat.

After getting off the court, he hurried to the east of the city, picked up the young man, and said a few polite words, but the woman smiled brightly, and said against her will that she would come back next time.

It's just for the sake of the silver taels.

Yang Tianao's mansion is not in Bianjing but in Jianghuai, if you ask the reason, it is just some small troubles in the middle of the court, saying that the emperor is sympathetic to the general, so that he will not worry about the country and work hard every day, but in fact, he is just afraid that he will be high and powerful, hold heavy troops, move the throne, and ruin the country.

settled the small sand in the house, let the subordinates entertain him, and rushed out again.

The little maids and maidservants were curious about who this white young man was, and they had the courage to come forward to ask, but the young man was silent, just holding the simple knife and the wooden box. This has attracted more and more curiosity, different opinions, and all kinds of speculation.

A few days later, I don't know where the rumors came out, saying that the boy was the illegitimate son brought back by the general, this is good, the people in this house have exploded, and they have to talk about everything in a whisper, and the more they look at Xiaoshazi, the more they feel like their own generals. I am also a lot more attentive to the little sand.

For a while, this was not big, but it was not a small Luzhou, and it was a lot of uproar, and the old lady in his eighties, and the babbling children were all somewhat heard. A few naughty teenagers in the market also hummed a nursery rhyme:

Poplar Mao, poplar Mao, poplar blossom poplar smile,

Don't worry about the poplar flowers falling, the poplars have their own poplar fruits.

Yang Guo ran down to the west of the city and went to another house to take a look.

It has been three days since Yang Tianao came back, and he naturally heard these rumors, but he didn't bother to explain, he was thinking of accepting this young man as his righteous son, and now, everyone in this Luzhou subconsciously thinks that the young man is his illegitimate son, at least from the point of view of the result, it can be regarded as the same goal, and he is free from his own tongue.

Xiaoshazi was still in the dark, just curious about why everyone suddenly seemed to change, looking at his eyes with a blazing light, others always like to ask about something, which made him a little scared, and he didn't dare to speak, for fear that one would not pay attention, say the wrong thing, and be annoying.

So there were rumors in the market that General Yang's child was a mute.

The east bottle and the west mirror are the architectural customs of Jianghuai. There is a bottle in the east of the living room and a mirror in the west, which means lifelong peace (bottle) and tranquility (mirror).

Yang Tianao is a native of Luzhou, and the house naturally follows the old style handed down by Jianghuai's ancestors.

In terms of overall layout, it is located in the position of the mountain, the conception is exquisite, and it is natural and decent; the scale is flexible and infinitely changing in the plane layout; in the spatial structure and utilization, the shape is rich, and the rhythm is beautiful, and the horse-head wall and small green tile are the most distinctive; in the comprehensive application of architectural carving art, it integrates stone carving, wood carving, and brick carving, which is magnificent.

Jianghuai residential complexes are mostly in the form of multi-courtyard type dwellings (small ones are mostly three-courtyard type), generally sitting in the north and facing south, leaning on the mountains and facing the water, emphasizing the value of feng shui. The high walls and deep houses, the folk customs of the Qianding people who have not tasted the scattered are also rare.

Compared with the prosperity of people elsewhere, the Yang Mansion seems a little deserted.

The layout of the house is symmetrically divided by the central axis, facing three rooms, the middle is the hall, the two sides are the rooms, the front of the hall is called the "patio", the lighting and ventilation, and there is also the auspicious meaning of "four rivers returning to the hall". The flying chair and beauty on the side are leaning on, and when they are free, they can be regarded as comfortable to lie down and take a rest.

Crossing the street building, upstairs hall, walking has its own style of wearing through the hall.

Small green tiles, fish scale tiles, looking back at the Nine Dragons Wall.

The courtyards are set together to create a deep and self-sufficient family living space. The high wall is closed, the horse's head is warped, the wall line is scattered, the black tile and white wall, the color is elegant and generous. The door is big, the courtyard is deep, and the Yang family is bleak and cold.

The beauty of "three carvings" is breathtaking, the blue brick door cover, the stone carving leaky window, the wood carved pillar and the building are integrated, so that the mansion is exquisite and poetic, which can be called a major feature of the Jianghuai residence. Ancestral hall and archway, is indispensable in Jianghuai: the ancestral hall has the general ancestral hall, the branch of the ancestral hall, the general scale is relatively large, by the mountain gate, enjoy the hall, the dormitory and so on into the group of many groups, the beam frame is majestic, "three carvings" wonderful, magnificent.

The memorial arch is mainly made of stone, there are four pillars and five floors, four pillars cupola type, eight pillars type, oral word form and so on, the shape is elegant, scattered in the townships. Yang's house uses an eight-pillar style, which my father loved during his lifetime. When it comes to his generation, he doesn't talk about whether he has spare money, and he doesn't bother to change it.

The Jianghuai architecture, which blends quaint, simple and magnificent, is really fascinating.

Yang Tianao is a military general, and the money he receives every day can't support such a huge courtyard, but fortunately, there is the property left by his parents and this courtyard, and with a slight change, it has become this so-called general's mansion.

took the boy to the ancestral hall, and he saw the ancestors and ancestors. Although Xiao Shazi never admitted it, Yang Tianao already regarded him as his own child in his heart, which also confirmed the rumors in the market.

Sleeping all the way, I finally arrived in Bianjing, and placed the teenager in Tieniu's house, and when I arrived in Jianghuai, I had my own and important things, I didn't pay attention to it yesterday, and now I took a look and found that the teenager had lost weight again.

He is the only one left in the Yang Mansion, and there are only two of them if he counts the old woman, and the food he eats on weekdays is not extravagant and wasteful, but it is only three dishes and one soup, and now that he has a child, Yang Tianao plans to be a little extravagant.

Let the room change the old style of the past, and replace it with a steamed, fried, fried and a soup.

He also ordered some broken silver to go to a farmer's house in the north of the city to buy roast chicken.

Don't underestimate this roast chicken, this roast chicken is also called Fu Liji roast chicken, although most of this family will make some, but it is not as authentic as that one, the farmer has been making roast chicken for some years, and I want to eat his roast chicken when I was a child, and it is estimated that it has been more than 30 years.

The farmer is a person with a strange personality, this roast chicken is so delicious, but he sells it in limited quantities every day, and the roast chicken is not expensive, but the price of a dish in the restaurant, every household is not short of these few dollars, often there are people who want to buy but can't buy it, and the children in the family are greedy, only recognize this one taste, and it is inevitable to cry.

The little guy ran back panting and said, "Master, the little one was already sold out when I went." ”

Yang Tianao naturally didn't blame him, but he was a little disappointed, he wanted to give the young man a good meal, but now he was disappointed.

The little guy took out a roast chicken like a trick, "But I told him that my master made up for his son's body, and he asked me to wait for a while, and he made another one now, and he didn't charge for it." ”

"This old farmer is a strange man," he said, taking the roast chicken, rejoicing in his heart, "and in this case, the broken silver will reward you." ”

The little guy hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, thank you, master." ”

Summoned the young man to eat, after these days of getting along, Xu is young man felt that Yang Tianao was not a bad person, and he was still pretending to be dumb with others, and he had a lot more to say, although most of the questions were still Lao Mu.

"Don't just eat these non-nutritious ones, come and taste this roast chicken, this is the taste of my childhood, it is very beautiful. ”

The boy has actually smelled this seductive aroma for a long time, and he has long been greedy, and a pair of smart eyes also aim at the roast chicken from time to time, but because of the child's face, he is embarrassed to reach out and take it, and now it is all sent to the mouth, and it is no longer hypocritical.

The aroma is tangy, just look at the color, the meat is white and tender, a bite down, fat but not greasy, the meat is rotten and deboned, it is another bite, chewing the bone and there is a residual fragrance, the more you eat, the more energetic, in the end, it is the age of the long body, it is chirping, after a while, this whole roast chicken is only left with some crispy bones.

Tut-tut, don't say teenagers, I'm hungry for it. (Fu Liji roast chicken is one of the four famous chickens in my country, it's really good, although I haven't been right)

There was no mound, so he sat on the beauty leaning on the patio and played the Qiang flute, melodious and long.

Occasionally, the wind blows through the hall, blowing cool, and I don't feel hot.

If people passing by are curious, they also stop to listen to the sound of the flute, but most of them are also uneducated, and they don't know any rhythm.

When a few scholars heard it, they pretended to talk about it, what palace merchants have a feather, what rhyme, in fact, they are just a half-hanger, and they can do it.

After a few more days, the two became acquainted, and on this day, the young man twisted his body and held it for a long time before he blushed and popped out a few words, "That chicken, is there anything else?"

Yang Tianao laughed, he actually wanted to eat roast chicken for a long time, no wonder he couldn't keep his soul these days, laughed and scolded the little gluttonous cat, and sent someone to buy it, and the next person came back in frustration, this time I really didn't buy it.

On this day, Yang Tianao found the boy, "It's inevitable that it's a little boring to be at home every day, you are now at the age of studying, why don't I send you to the school?"

The sound of the flute paused for a while, which was regarded as acquiescence, and then blew the Qiang flute, changing it to a cheerful and hurried one.

Go to the school, you have to have a name, if it's a little sand and a little sand screaming, you will definitely become a little fool.

The two discussed for a long time, according to Yang Tianao's original intention to be called Yang Sha, which means that the sand of a central enterprise is blowing, but the young man asked Lao Mu.

Lao Mu is not surnamed Mu, I wonder where the surname Mu came from, it turns out that Lao Mu's surname is Shen, and his name is Mu

"It's embarrassing, it's Shushu, I'll call it Shen Liushu. ”

"Liushu, it's a good name, it's up to you. Yang Tianao thought that it was also a good choice to follow the surname Lao Mu.

The news that the boy of the Yang family was going to the school spread far and wide.

Everyone gossiped hard, and let their children pay attention to whether there was a new boy surnamed Yang in the school, and the children all shook their heads when they came back, and there was only a little mute surnamed Shen who came to the school.

This spread again, the little mute of the Yang family is not surnamed Yang, but the person who lives by telling stories under the bridge Shen Tianqiao also has a new script.

The ancient children playing on the street also changed the ballad:

Run, jump, run to the poplar tree and jump.

The other fruit of the poplar tree really makes the poplar flower ashamed.
