The afternoon sun shines on a land of life.The grass has already shown a finger-long shoot.On the riverside, the dry brown barren slopes and mountains are also covered with a thin layer of tender green.Artemisia grass, bitter herbs, and shepherd's cabbage, which sprouted earlier, have already stretched out their leaves.Some women, led by children of all sizes, carried baskets and baskets to spread out in the wilderness, digging wild vegetables.The wind was gentle, soft, and warm, like a loving mother running her fingers across the cheeks of a sleeping baby, and it was indescribably comfortable on a person."
Mother, look at it, there are so many big carriages," a child digging wild vegetables suddenly pointed to the official road and said to the woman in front of him.The woman looked up at the official road, turned back to the child and smiled, "That's the official convoy."
Bao'er should study hard and grow up quickly.When he grew up, he wore official clothes, rode big horses, and earned a lot of money like those people.Mother and your father, you can enjoy happiness. ”The child nodded as if he didn't understand, and said innocently: "I must listen to my mother's words and study hard."
When he grows up and becomes a big official, he will marry the second girl in the west of the village as a daughter-in-law and give birth to his mother's own grandson. ”The woman was amused by the child."
Okay, okay, my mother is waiting to hold her grandson."
That official road is the road from Macheng County to Shicheng County.At this time, a large team appeared on the official road.Note: Macheng County, present-day Luan County, Hebei Province.In the procession, there were more than 100 horse-drawn carriages alone, which stretched for several miles.On both sides of the carriage, soldiers on foot were escorted by soldiers with weapons every ten meters or so.At the front of the team, a group of more than a dozen knights opened the way.Behind the knights, several carriages carrying people followed.Fan Tingju and Luo Yunhe were in the same car, and they were in the team."
Shopkeeper Luo, when we left Chang'an, it was still a depression, but now, it is spring."
Fan Ting raised his hand to open the side curtain of the carriage, and said to Luo Yunhe while looking outside."
Yes, I've been walking for more than half a month, and I'm going to Shicheng County."
Luo Yunhe said, "My old bones are about to fall apart. ”"Haha, if you eat a few pills of elixir, won't it be relieved."
Fan Tingju turned his head and looked at Luo Yunhe playfully."
Fan Dongjia, you are not a good person, and you made fun of me for my Lao Luo's things."
Luo Yunhe didn't have a good breath, "Alas, it's strange to say, since I followed Lord Zhao, I feel that I have lived a bit human." ”"You used to be the guest of the emperor, wouldn't it be more beautiful" "Don't mention the past."
At that time, although it was beautiful, it was empty in my heart.It's so easy for you to be a liar, and you can't sleep well at night for a while, and you're always worried about it, so don't talk about it. ”Luo Yunhe sighed, and asked Fan Tingju with a straight face: "You can arrange the matter that Lord Zhao sent someone to inform?"
"Don't worry, what Lord Zhao ordered, you don't dare to be careless."
I still expect Lord Zhao to give me a title of Datang. ”Outside the west gate of Shicheng County on the dividing line, Zhao Yunze was waiting for the arrival of the convoy with Fang Zhizhi and other county officials, officers of the special combat team, as well as six or seven squires, and more than a dozen officials.Those squires still haven't figured out who Zhao Yunze is taking them out of the city to welcome.Even the subordinate officials of the county government, except for Fang Zhizhi, the rest of them didn't know who was coming to Shicheng County.can see Zhao Yunze's posture, and it seems to welcome a big man.Everyone chatted and waited while the mountains and the sea.About two quarters of an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves came from the official road to the west.Immediately after that, a team of knights appeared."
Coming" Zhao Yunze said, and took the lead to move forward, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed.Soon, a long dragon appeared."
Well, why are there so many carriages, what kind of people are these?"
exclaimed a squire.From where they stood, the long dragon was only half visible, but there were dozens of carriages.Behind, horse-drawn carriages are still appearing one after another.The knight at the front of the team stopped twenty or thirty meters away from Zhao Yunze and the others.They dismounted and walked to the carriages behind.The people in the carriages also got down, and together with the dozen or so knights, they walked towards Zhao Yunze.Cui Jing looked at the visitors curiously, and he suddenly found a familiar figure.Thinking that he had seen it wrong, Cui Jing rubbed his eyes again and looked again."
Brother Tingshan, don't rub your eyes.You read that right, that is the third son of Yuan Zhen. ”Cui Yi, who was beside Cui Jing, suddenly whispered."
How could the third prince come to Shicheng County, Zhao County, and Ling Fei just to greet him," Cui Jing wondered."
You ask me, who do I ask" At this time, the guest and Zhao Yunze and his group had already come together.Fan Tingju, Luo Yunhe, Feng Xiao and others hurriedly gave Zhao Yunze a salute."
You guys are here, hard work," Zhao Yunze replied."
Brother Peng Yu still knows so-and-so" A young man walked up to Zhao Yunze and said with a smile.The young man was about twenty-four or five years old, dressed in a white robe, and had an extraordinary appearance."
Haha, Brother Yuan Zhen is too underestimated by a certain memory.In the first year of Zhenguan, when he came to Hebei, Brother Duomeng Yuan took care of him.This time, Brother Yuan Zhen came to Shicheng County, but he became a landlord.I can't say that I want to entertain Brother Yuan Zhen well. ”Zhao Yunze also bowed his hand to the man and said with a smile."
Haha, Brother Peng Yu has a good memory, it is Cui Duncheng.When I came to Shicheng, I really wanted to disturb Brother Peng Yu. ”It turned out that this young man was Cui Duncheng, the third son of the Boling Cui family.Cui Jing and Cui Yi saw that Zhao Yunze and Cui Duncheng were so familiar, and they glanced at each other in surprise.Immediately, Cui Jing pulled Cui Yi's sleeve, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to greet Cui Duncheng."
Cui Jing and Cui Yi have seen the third son."
When Cui Duncheng saw Cui Jing and Cui Yi, his face was dazed: "The two are" The co-author, Cui Sangongzi, didn't know them at all.It can also be seen from this that the Cui family branch is huge."
A certain is the thirty-fifth descendant of the Cui family, Cui Jing Cui Tingshan.""
A certain is also the thirty-fifth grandson of the Cui family, Cui Yi Cui Baoyu.""
Oh, it turned out to be two clan brothers, disrespectful and disrespectful" Cui Duncheng hurriedly returned the salute.Zhao Yunze smiled and said, "You have worked hard from afar, so let's go into the city with a certain person to talk." ”"There's Brother Lao Pengyu."
Cui Duncheng said.At this time, Fan Ting took a few steps forward and said to Zhao Yunze: "Lord Zhao, I came to Shicheng County this time, but I came to make a fortune.I brought so many goods, and I hope that Lord Zhao will settle them. ”"Haha, don't worry, Fan Dongjia, I have an opportunity to make you rich in Shicheng County.Right now, there are two businesses to talk to Fan Dongjia about.Let's go to the city first, and these goods of yours will be placed by a certain subordinate." ”Fan Tingju said.Zhao Yunze turned around and instructed Ding Dashun: "Captain Ding, take Fan Dong's convoy and go to the barracks."
Send someone to keep a close watch over the goods. ”"Nuo" Ding Da complied, and then stepped forward to greet those who drove the carriage: "Everyone work hard, come with me." ”Ding Dashun led the way in front, and several large cars in front of the convoy turned around and headed south.This huge convoy had long aroused the curiosity of those who followed Zhao Yunze out of the city.They were also looking at the convoy at this time, guessing what was on it.Sacks, those carts are full of sacks.Suddenly, a cart swerved, and two sacks slid from the wagon and fell to the ground.With a "bang", the piercing of the two sacks was broken, and all that flowed out was wheat.The driver of the big car hurriedly stopped the car, jumped out of the car and went to collect the grain.The drivers in the back cars also hurriedly went to help."
Be careful, don't spill the grain," Fan Tingju hurriedly shouted towards the convoy.When the squires saw that the carriage was full of grain, they stared at each other in shock
