The third trip is what I saw and heard
The next day, the four of them packed up and prepared to rush to Beijing, Lin Yao specially hired a carriage from the market, bought two horses for himself and his senior brother, and the four of them set off after a simple breakfast. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Along the way, Ning Lingxi and Sophie were in the carriage, the two talked very happily, Sophie told Ning Lingxi about her experience with her father over the years, and Ning Lingxi told Lin Xiaotian's story, but Lin Xiaotian was held hostage and didn't know the news, which inevitably made Ning Lingxi worry and sad, Sophie quickly comforted and comforted her.
That day, after Lin Xiaotian was held hostage by Ximen Beiming, he set off for Beijing for several days. Ximen Beiming and Hong Tu relied on their martial arts skills, and for the sake of Lin Xiaotian's young age, they were not tied up, and let him move on his own, and the three of them just stared at him.
On this day, the four people of Ximen Sorrow have come to Luoyang, Henan, Lin Xiaotian went out for the first time, but saw that there were many portals on the long street, the signboards fluttered in the wind, and the shouts of the bosses were endless.
Lin Xiaotian suddenly felt that his vision was broad, and he couldn't help asking: "It's already very prosperous here, so what kind of scene will Beijing be?" Hong Renfang looked suspicious and said with a sneer, you are still in the mood to see the scene, but you are really a child's heart. Haha, a few more laughs in succession, Simon and Tu also smiled.
The four of them walked along the road and stayed in a hotel in a relatively remote alley.
In the evening, Ximen called Hong Tu and the others separately and said, "According to my informant's report, Lin Yao and the four of them have set off, and their first plan has also been successful, so they should rush back to Beijing as soon as possible and arrange the next plan, and they should not be silent here, Luoyang's Wang Daoba is not small, it is best not to be alarmed." Hong Tu and the others nodded in acquiescence.
After the four of them had dinner, they went back to the room to rest, and after a while, they thought that it was a child, because the hotel was relatively remote, and there were many fewer guests coming and going, and Xiao Er was also cleaning up, and was about to close the door on the board, but when he heard it, he saw a fat body, wearing satin, and playing back and forth with two round iron balls in his palm, looking about fifty years old, a rich and noble appearance, followed by two young people dressed in fine bundles, Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him, and said, Isn't this the rich man of Wang Dao?
Wang Daoba smiled, walked to the lobby and shouted loudly, I don't know if the two Hong Tu of the Light Map Sect are there, Ximen and the others are also resting at this time, and they are all shocked, Ximen secretly said, this person is quite well-informed, and it seems that it will not work if he doesn't see it, so he ordered Hong Tu and the others to go out and probe the news. The two of them answered, got up and walked out of the room.
Wang Dao's eight eyes looked around, saw that there was a figure in the house, and said secretly: "Who is that person, this Hongtu and the two have always been two people walking the rivers and lakes", and said loudly: Who else in the house will come out together, "After Ximen screamed and pulled Lin Xiaotian down the door, he didn't want to go out, but he needed to go out in person, so he said to Lin Xiaotian, stayed in the room obediently, and went out quietly."
After Wang Daoba saw a stranger come out, he also had a questioning face, and he was usually very confident in the people and news in the rivers and lakes, so he was ashamed of it, so he asked Hong Tu and the others, who is this young man? After hearing this, Wang Daoba was even more suspicious, and secretly thought, I know Ximen Shengxiao, but I have never heard that he has a younger brother, and this person seems to have some problems.
At that moment, he also said with a smile, since the three of them came to Luoyang, please go to Bizhuang to sit down with your face, in order to show your heart.
These three people didn't want to go, and Lin Xiaotian was in the house again, but they didn't want to thin Wang Daoba's face, Ximen Beiming was also helpless, and looked at the other party, not that there were not many people, but they were not afraid of him, but the strong dragon didn't fight the head snake, so they nodded to Hong Tu and the two, and the three of them followed Wang Daoba.
Lin Xiaotian had already secretly seen this moment in the house, and was about to run out, but he didn't know the way very well, and from time to time the two who followed Wang Daoba came in and didn't speak, so they took Lin Xiaotian away, and no matter how he talked along the way, the two just didn't answer, and Lin Xiaotian didn't say anything after a long time, so he had to see where the two of them went.
Wang Dao Baxia led the three people to their own village with a lamp, this village is at a corner of the bustling road, but see the wide door panel at the door of the Zhuangzi is painted red, a delicate plaque is hung high, and the two red lanterns are also hung high, but it is a little dark when they enter the garden, and the three of them don't pay much attention to it just to think about what Wang Daoba is trying to do. A few people walked through the courtyard, around the pavilion corridor, and into the main hall.
Wang Daoba said, you are not polite, just sit down, and ordered the next person to bring tea, and then chatted for a long time, Ximen and the three of them felt awkward, and they didn't pay much attention to listen but nodded from time to time, about a period of time, Wang Daoba stood up and said goodbye to the three of them.
The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after coming out of the palace, they still scolded Wang Daoba from time to time with a smiling face in their mouths. After Simon soothed his nerves, he said, there is no need to go to the inn, presumably Lin Xiaotian was taken away by Wang Daoba, but why is this plan completed, Lin Yaoyi rushed to Beijing, why don't they rush to Beijing, Hong Tu and the two heard it, and scolded Wang Daoba, and then the three of them did not stop riding away on horseback.
Lin Xiaotian was brought to the palace by the two of them, as soon as he came in, Wang Daoba said, I also hugged your father's kindness back then, fortunately Xiaohe sent Li Zhang and the others to bring the news, and it happened that you will pass through Luoyang, and at the same time sighed secretly, and then said, I am old, this is in Luoyang, if you are afraid that you will be powerless elsewhere, you will rest in the village for a few days, I will send someone to send you to Beijing, and your parents will also rush there, I don't want to pay attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
When Lin Xiaotian heard this, he smiled, and he was finally rescued, and he was happy, but he asked again, Uncle Wang, what does it mean that the three of Ximen Sorrow Ming caught me without hurting me?
Wang Daoba stroked Fu Lin's head and said in a low voice, you are still young, you don't understand the affairs of the rivers and lakes too much, let's slowly understand it in the future, I am also sleepy, so I will rest first, you can also rest.
Lin Xiaotian looked confused, looked at Wang Daoba, who was blessed, his face was wrinkled, and he was hunched back from time to time, so he didn't bother anymore, and followed his subordinates to a room to rest. On the second day, Wang Daoba came to Lin Xiaotian's room early and asked if he had the habit of living, and thought that Lin Xiaotian was young and was afraid that he would be a little uncomfortable when he went out for the first time, but it seemed that he was still more adaptable, and he was much more relieved at the moment, and asked his subordinates to prepare the coils and items needed on the road.
Lin Xiaotian wanted to stay a few more days to learn about his father's past and the current situation on the rivers and lakes from the owner of the Wang Zhuang, but then he thought that he should not let the owner of the Wang Zhuang recall the past, after all, he thought that he was enjoying his old age, and after cleaning up, Wang Daoba specially called Zhang Jiaotou and whispered a few words.
Lin Xiaotian saw that Zhang Jiaotou was tall, dressed as a martial arts practitioner, and he was also quite burly, and he didn't think much about it and went out with Zhang Jiaotou, and before leaving, Wang Daoba said to Lin Xiaotian seriously: "On this way, if you have something to ask Zhang Jiaotou, he will take you away safely from your father, remember not to play with the temper of a child, and listen to Zhang Jiaotou's orders." Lin Xiaotian nodded in response.
So the two set off, all the way to the relatively flat terrain, through Zhengzhou, more than ten days later arrived in Kaifeng, this Kaifeng is much smaller than Luoyang, but it is a scene of living and working in peace and contentment, Lin Xiaotian muttered that he did not take a good look in Luoyang This time must visit Kaifeng, Zhang Jiaotou also saw that he was childish and wanted to play, so he nodded and agreed, and accompanied Lin Xiaotian into the city together.
The two of them went up to the high city wall, walking slowly along the road, the city wall has a long history, after the wind and sun, the traces of erosion are obvious, Lin Xiaotian has lived in the south since he was a child, rarely saw such a city wall, and was also very happy, and hurriedly said: "It is very difficult to build such a high city wall, but it looks really good, and it is really rare in the south." ”
Zhang Jiaotou didn't answer, just smiled frequently. Kaifeng in June is the warm sun, a wisp of cool breeze blowing, the two of them suddenly feel comfortable, it is the morning, there are more and more people on the city wall, the sun shines on the city wall is a little dazzling. After the two of them turned around, they went down the city wall and walked along the street, the people on the street were busy, and there were many people coming in and out of the store, Lin Xiaotian suddenly remembered to buy a hairpin for Su Fei, so he asked Zhang Jiaotou for a few taels of silver and went to a decoration store.
The owner of the decoration shop was a woman of about thirty, wearing heavy makeup, seeing Lin Xiaotian come in, busy greeting, Lin Xiaotian looked at the items in the store, and asked: "That is suitable for a twenty-year-old girl"?
Zhang Jiaotou waited outside for a while to see him come out, and when he saw that it was not too early, he asked, "Are you hungry?" Lin Xiaotian touched his stomach and smirked a few times, and the two walked to the market.
At this time, it was the noon market where the hawkers and small traders gathered a lot, the two of them counted what to eat, Lin Xiaotian thought about it, wanted to buy some local specialties to taste, and after discussing with Zhang Jiaotou, the two walked to the oblique corner and saw a signboard, which read, "Double hemp fire", so they leaned over, the boss and a guy were busy at the door, a big plate was put on a freshly baked fire, the customer shouted chaotically, "I want four", and did not line up, Zhang Jiaotou squeezed in and bought five, came out and divided two to Lin Xiaotian, and said: '' Let's take a walk and see if there's anything else to eat. Lin Xiaotian was also happy, and he didn't care about answering when he took the baked cake and ate it, and Zhang Jiaotou smiled when he saw this.
The two went to the east again, there were a few vendors in the market who carried a flat shoulder and shouted while walking: "Fresh fruit", the guy who opened the shop also shouted loudly, there were countless people coming and going, the long market road was also crowded, there was no end in sight, the two walked for a while, decided to go to the roadside stall to drink some water and rest, so they asked for two bowls of tea on a stall by the bridge and sat leisurely.
At this time, there were several small boats on the water under the bridge that looked decorated, and the two of them looked at the past and only saw a man and a woman, and the two did not pay much attention to it and just continued to drink tea.
After a while, I saw many people coming to the bank of the moat and shouting, "The bride and groom of the Wang family are coming", the shouts were mixed, but they could also be heard, so another group of people came over, and a group of people also gathered on the bridge, and shouted "The bride and groom of the Wang family are here", and the shouts were endless.
Zhang Jiaotou was also surprised, "What's going on, so many people are watching and shouting", so he asked the stall owner: "What's the matter with this Wang family's daughter-in-law?" The stall owner said with a smile: "The guest officer is from out of town, this Wang family's bride is our Kaifeng Mansion Yin's woman named Wang Wanying, the groom is a rich man and also changed his surname to Wang Weiming, the two are childhood sweethearts, the main thing is that Wang Mansion Yin is an honest official, and has done a lot of good things for our people, everyone affectionately calls him Wang Qingtian." ”
Zhang Jiaotou nodded, smiled and said: "There are not many officials who are honest, it seems that this Wang Qingtian is really loved by the people, and even his daughter and son-in-law are also loved by the people, and said to Lin Xiaotian: "Why can you go and see this marriage, since it is an official family, you can also find out some news about your father." Lin Xiaotian nodded in response, then let's go and take a look.
After paying for the tea, the two went straight to the bank of the moat, which was not large, but it had always been well repaired, and although it was small, it could pass some small boats. Due to the large number of people, the two of them did not get close to the river, but just watched from a distance. The bride and bride of the royal family followed left and right in a welcome sound, slowly got off the boat, rode a horse, and from time to time there were some blessings such as "what a natural pair" among the followers, and Zhang Jiao led Lin Xiaotian to walk behind.
After the wedding car turned a big circle in the street, it attracted a lot of people to watch, and after a few hours, it went north along the road, and the houses along the road were attics, the doors and windows were facing east, and the people in the house also cheered when they saw the wedding car passing. After a while, they arrived at the palace, and the receptionist hurriedly came to help the bride.
But seeing a middle-aged man on the platform of the courtyard said in a loud voice: "Please be quiet, the crowd is also a lot quieter, and the man continued, thank you for coming, today is the marriage of the daughter of the palace, and Lord Wang has specially prepared a small profit for everyone." There was another cheer from the crowd.
At this time, it was already a long time, and the people were gradually leaving, leaving some people who had close contacts with the king. Zhang Jiaotou and Lin Xiaotian entered the mansion at this time, this mansion is not big, but it also has a taste of home, Zhang Jiaotou walked to the front of Mr. Debt Collection and whispered: "I don't know who the king of the mansion is, the two of us are the descendants of the owner of the Eight Kings of Luoyang King Dao." ”
The debt collector followed Lord Wang on weekdays, and he also knew a lot about the affairs of the court and the rivers and lakes, so he stretched out his hand to show the way and said, "Please come with me." So the two followed behind, bypassed the corridor, walked to the back garden, and entered a room facing west, although this room was illuminated brightly, it was also lit with several lights, which was particularly prosperous and lively, Zhang Jiaotou saw an elderly man wearing a purple long night on the chair facing the door, his face was red, and a middle-aged lady next to him was wearing a hairpin and a red long skirt, with a good face, and her every move showed the official demeanor.
Mr. Bookkeeper hurriedly introduced that this is Lord Wang and Mrs., these two are the people from Luoyang Wangdao Bazhuang.
At this time, just as the sunset was shining obliquely, the light shone on the house and the warm sun, there were several officials and relatives sitting here, the ancient windows were open, a breeze blew, the curtains fluttered, everyone looked happy, a few officials on the right were talking in a whisper, and on the left were a few relatives, also talking about the groom.
When Lord Wang heard that it was Lin Xiaotian, he hurriedly said: "Your father and others passed by my house a few days ago, and told me about the situation, your mother is also a little worried about you, you should also rush to Beijing as soon as possible, and said that you will stay in Beijing Xiaoyao Villa, you can go there to find him, and if there is a chance in the future, you are welcome to come to the house again" Zhang Jiaotou and the two of them blessed the bride and groom after a few words, and then left the house to continue to set off like Beijing.
Along the way through Baoding, Hebei, Lin Xiaotian did not pay much attention to the scenery along the way, only afraid that his mother was worried, hoping to arrive in Beijing as soon as possible, Zhang Jiaotou also carefully took care of him all the way, and also guessed his mind, so he did not rub in, just stayed for food and accommodation, and arrived in Beijing after more than ten days.
