Yuan County is only a few hundred miles away from Chengyang County, but it does not belong to Hangshan Prefecture and belongs to Beppu. Chengyang is known as a large county, while the original county is even larger, with a radius of 180 miles.

The population of the city is 50,000, and there are three large towns with more than 1,000 people in the radius, both in agriculture and commerce, which are higher than those in Chengyang County.

And Zheng Chong's home is in the three major towns of Orange Town. Orange town is three miles away, there are 3,000 acres of orange trees outside the town, famous for the abundance of oranges, orange blossoms bloom in spring and summer, the aroma of the sky will permeate the whole town, the eyes are full of white flowers such as snow, the scenery is pleasant.

The town is commercially developed, with several green buildings. Every year when chrysanthemums bloom, there will be literati and ink writers who come and wave their pen and ink to show their praise.

There are elegant people, portable prostitutes to travel, leisurely.

It's August 18, and the orange blossoms have fallen to the ground and become mud. There is still a period of time before the oranges are ripe, and the original county is very deserted at the moment.

On the avenue leading to Juzhen, two carriages drove slowly one after the other.

In a carriage driving behind, Chen Guhong leaned against the wall of the carriage, one leg straight, one leg bent, and his hands on his head, very comfortable.

Now Chen Guhong is no longer as poor as he was at the beginning, and all the boxes of washed and white clothes have been replaced. The Confucian shirt worn on the body is hand-sewn in a round way, and the material is fine cotton, which is colorful and vulgar, and it looks very expensive.

There is a piece of emerald green carp jade pendant on the waist, which is vivid and very interesting. There is a sachet hanging next to the jade pendant, and the sachet exudes a pleasant aroma.

The sachet is specially sewn by Yuanyuan, and the spices inside are also specially selected by Yuanyuan. Chen Guhong has been created by the fish and dragon, and some people like carp, and they are very fond of this carp jade pendant. But this sachet is very uncomfortable. Often pouting.

"I'm not a pseudo-mother, what are you doing with a sachet?" But his round eyes were very bright, and he often collected the incense sachet he threw back from Chen Guhong's room, carefully tied it around Chen Guhong's waist, and replied: "Now Gongzi is also a literati, how can anyone not wear a sachet." ”

Helplessly, Chen Guhong became a "pseudo-mother" with a sachet. But fortunately, Yuanyuan didn't ask him to wear makeup, I heard that those particularly sassy literati want to put powder on their faces.

I shudder just thinking about it.

At this moment, Yuan Yuan was kneeling on Chen Guhong's left side, lifting the curtain and looking out. She is still wearing a skirt with snow-white long sleeves on the inside, apricot yellow short sleeves on the outside, and a green skirt on the bottom.

This posture is very **, and the round buttocks that are beginning to take shape are bigger and rounder than peaches.

Occasionally, Chen Guhong would look at it with a smile, not pretending to be estranged or debauched. For Yuanyuan, he has long regarded it as his family, a close and caring family.

If you want to hold her in your arms and love her one day, it is natural.

"Childe, it's not the right time for us to come. The chrysanthemums fell to the ground, and there were no delicious oranges to eat. Yuanyuan leaned in the car window and looked at it for a moment, then retracted his little head that poked out, and pouted a little dejectedly.

"I know how to eat all day long. Chen Guhong scolded with a smile.

"I just love to eat, and you don't know, Childe. Yuanyuan pouted.

Chen Guhong shrugged his shoulders and stopped answering. At this time, the carriage stopped, and the voice of the iron pillar came from outside the car, "Childe, Juzhen has arrived." ”

"Let's go, get out of the car. Chen Guhong called and stepped out of the carriage first. In front of is an ancient town, there are two pillars in front of the town, there is a stone in the middle of the pillar, the stone is engraved with the word "orange town", the column is white, but under the years, it looks a little gray, and it looks very simple.

There are many pedestrians in the town, many farmers carrying hoes, and many chariot and horse travelers.

At this time, Wang Song had already gotten out of the car and said to Chen Guhong: "Although we know that Zheng Chong's house is in Zheng Lane, we don't know the specific location. You might as well send a house slave to check on it first, and then go there. ”

"Hmm. Chen Guhong nodded, and then called the iron pillar.

"Yes. Tie Zhu responded and bowed to Chen Guhong, and went to inquire with one of Wang Song's followers.

Approaching his friend's hometown, Chen Guhong's worry became more and more intense. couldn't help but say to Wang Song: "I don't know what happened to Brother Zheng, he is so lifeless." ”

Wang Song was very relaxed, and said with a smile: "According to Zheng Chong's wooden temperament, he will definitely not cause trouble." I think most of him is because of his poor family, which is really hard. Scholars have the righteousness of wealth, and the silver taels we prepared this time are enough for him to support for a long time, and they will definitely be able to comfort his heart. ”

The literati intersected, and it was about courtesy and affection. But considering Zheng Chong's family background, Chen Guhong and the others did not make any false things this time, and each sealed one hundred taels of silver, ready to leave it to Zheng Chong.

Chen Guhong thinks about it, don't say that Zheng Chong is not a troublemaker. Even if they provoke some powerful people, according to the current identities of the two, they can deal with one or two.

What's more, he is still a top swordsman, and he brought the Kunwu Sword with him when he went out this time.

Light and dark have confidence.

At this moment, the hour is almost noon, and I feel a little empty when I sit and wait. Chen Guhong and Wang Song each called their maids, spread cloth on a flat ground at the edge of the town, and then took out some pastries to eat.

Yuanyuan snuggled up to Chen Guhong, eating Songhua cake, his mouth bulging, his eyes narrowed together, and he was full of happiness.

As soon as the few people finished eating the pastry, the two of them came back. Both of them looked a little ugly, bowed down and said, "Two sons, I inquired about the residence of Zheng Xianggong, but Zheng Xianggong is gone." ”

"Gone?!"

Chen Guhong and Wang Song were stunned, and their faces changed suddenly.

It's gone, it's dead.

"How is it possible, he is only in his twenties, although he is bitter, but he is not sick, he is not like a person who has a short life and dies early, how can he be gone?" Chen Guhong clenched his fists, unable to say confidently.

"The little one has inquired, Zheng Xianggong's first seven years have not passed, and his body is still at home. Because the family was poor and didn't have the money to buy a coffin, they swept it with grass, and it looked very pitiful. ”

Tie Zhu said sympathetically.

Chen Guhong, Wang Song was stunned, Huangshan was only a few months ago, Zheng Chong's paintings were lifelike, he didn't sell paintings for a living, his backbone was very, the four of them smelled the same, they slept in the firewood room, and they did heroic songs.

The sound is still in my mind, and I don't want to be separated forever, and I won't see each other again.

"Whoa, my friend is dead. After being stunned for a long time, Wang Song showed a bitter look and sighed. Chen Guhong said: "My friend died and had to go. ”

Considering that Zheng Chong was swept by the grass, Chen Guhong asked Yuanyuan to take out some silver taels and called the iron pillar to buy a coffin. He got into the carriage with Wang Song, and went to Zheng Chong's house non-stop to send the first watch, because the yard was very slow and slow, and the second watch was a little late, so you will see it tomorrow.
