The Dazhao Dynasty clearly stipulated that anyone who leaves the county where their household registration is located must carry a road guide issued by the government after verification.If there is no guide, or if the person himself does not match the guide, once found out, he will be arrested and sentenced to prison.

Fan Yi and He Qing ran outside for almost a whole day before they got the guide.They ran non-stop to the store to buy things, such as hand warmers to keep out the cold, thick cotton coats and so on.

The weather is getting colder and night is falling earlier than usual.By the time they returned to the town with their big bags and small bags, it was already dark.

The two of them had no time to talk, and went home separately.

Fan Yi carried a big bag in his hand, entered the house, and found that Mrs. Lin was bringing his younger sister to pack things for him.

He looked at the salute that was several times bigger than his own, and couldn't help laughing: "Mother, this big and small bag is so inconvenient to walk around."

As he spoke, he looked at his not-so-strong arms and legs, touched his nose and said, "My strength is limited, I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry it..."

Lin turned her head and glanced at him, thought about it, and had no choice but to give up.

Worried in her heart, she looked at the objects in her hand again, and said hesitantly: "If you don't take it with you, in case you need it urgently along the way, you can't go to the village or shop..."

Fan Yi hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, we will hire a carriage first, and then take a boat. Zhu's elder brother and senior brother are also there, so mother is at ease."

Lin looked at him, thinking that he would go on a long journey tomorrow, his eyes were watery.

She knew in her heart that a man should go out and make a living to increase his knowledge and experience.Staying at home all the time is not only short-sighted, but also makes no progress.

But the mother who travels thousands of miles is worried, how can she be willing to let her son who has never left her side go out to suffer and work hard?

When Ruyun saw her mother weeping, her eyes were sore.She hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a forced smile, "Mother, didn't you cook the pork ribs that my brother loves? My brother must be hungry after traveling all day today. Let's eat? Mother?" He said and passed the handkerchief in his hand to wipe her tears.

Upon hearing the words, Mrs. Lin immediately said, "Yes, mother will go now."

Regardless of the tears still in his eyes, he turned and went to the kitchen.

While eating, Lin looked at Fan Yi frequently, hesitant to speak.Fan Yi thought for a while, held the chopsticks and put the vegetables in her bowl, and deliberately smiled: "If the mother is really worried, why don't I use a method to make the mother and younger sister smaller, put them in the purse and take them away together ?”

When Lin heard this, she glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ruyun also jokingly said, "Brother, do you want to go to Wutai Mountain to become a monk? I heard that only old monks with profound mana can cast spells! It's amazing!"

Lin couldn't help but reached out and poked Ruyun's forehead: "You know a lot! Eat quickly! You talk too much!" The sadness in her heart faded a lot.

After dinner, she took out the famous card left by Fan Shiying and handed it to Fan Yi, "Your father once served as the prince's junior teacher in the court. Although he has passed away now, he has made many friends. If you bring this with you, it will bring you some convenience when you arrive in the capital. You will go out tomorrow. If there is too much, you don’t have to say anything. "

Fan Yi accepted the name card in a daze, and after a long while, he bowed and said: "Yi'er would like to follow mother's instruction."

Lin put the bulging purse in his hand again, and said: "Put these silver taels close to your body. Don't wrong yourself outside. Don't worry, mother also kept some for herself."

Fan Yi nodded his head heavily, and said: "If my mother has something to do, I can go to the people in the village. I have already made an agreement with the third grandpa, and they will help my mother."

Lin touched Fan Yi's face, her eyes were full of relief: "My son has grown up."

The next day, Fan Yi got up at the end of the fourth watch. After a brief wash, he checked his salute and made sure that he had brought all his things before leaving the room.

When he walked into the yard, he saw his mother and sister already busy in the kitchen.After seeing him, Mrs. Lin wrapped the freshly baked cakes in oiled paper and handed them to him to eat on the way.

Fan Yi took the big bag of hot and heavy pastries, feeling sore in his heart.He put the oiled paper bag on the side salute, suddenly got short, knelt down on both knees, kowtowed to Mrs. Lin upright, made a big salute, and said: "Mother, my child has traveled so far, and I don't know when I will return. But my boy promises that when I see my mother again, I will definitely be named on the gold list, and I will be honored! Mother, take care of your health, and I will write to you wherever my child goes. Please don’t be sad, mother, and wait for the good news of your child!"

Lin covered her mouth and wept silently, stepped forward to support him, choked with sobs and said, "May my son have a smooth journey and return safely. Go!"

Fan Yi put his luggage on his back, turned and walked towards the gate.

Ruyun, who was hiding in the kitchen and refused to come out, ran out quickly at this time, crying and shouting at his back: "Brother! You must come back soon! Brother, take care!"

Fan Yi paused, with tears in his eyes, he didn't dare to turn his head, and immediately stepped out the door.

Zhu Wenxuan stood at the door of his house early, waiting for Fan Yi to join him.

The sky was still dark, and the light from the lantern in front of the gate could only illuminate a spot, and there were people walking around in the distance, slowly approaching Zhu's mansion.

Looking far away, Zhu Wenxuan vaguely saw that it was Fan Yi who came, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

When someone came closer and took a look, he was surprised to find that it was not only Fan Yi who came, but also Mr. He Langzhong from Tongrentang and his servants.

Zhu Wenxuan looked puzzled and asked, "This is it?"

Only then did Fan Yi remember that he hadn't spoken to Zhu Wenxuan, he touched his nose in embarrassment, and said, "It's my fault, I forgot to tell my elder brother, this is Langzhong He Qinghe from Tongrentang, and also my senior brother. Join us this time too. Please brother Mo Kuaiyi make up his own mind."

Zhu Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and said, "How can I blame you for being a brother?" He turned around and greeted He Qing: "I, Zhu Wenxuan, have heard of Mr. He's name for a long time, but have never met him. Now Mr. He is willing to walk with us. It’s really a blessing.”

He Qing clasped his fists in return: "Young Master Zhu, I don't blame you for coming here uninvited. This is enough to show Mr. Zhu's generosity, but I'm being rude."

Zhu Wenxuan had a good sense of He Qing, and said with a smile, "Well, let's get in the car first!"

The three of them got into Zhu's carriage, He Qing's servant Yuan Bao and Zhu Wenxuan's servant Guanzhu put their salutes on the carriage, then sat on the shaft of the carriage and set off on the carriage.

In the car, Zhu Wenxuan said to He Qing: "The purpose of our trip is the capital, but we don't want to go directly. We plan to take a detour to the south of the Yangtze River. We start from here and go to the mouth of the Han River first. Get on the boat there."

Go to Jiangnan?He Qing's eyes lit up!He clapped his hands and said, "Hi Jiangnan! I have always wanted to visit, but I have no company. This time I can be regarded as catching up!"

Seeing his senior brother's excitement, Fan Yi wanted to laugh, and teased him: "What do you want to see? Is it to see the beauties in Jiangnan?"

He Qing blushed, pinched Fan Yi's neck, and scolded with a smile: "Okay! Xiao Fan! You are so lustful and lustful at such a young age! See if I don't show you some color!"

Fan Yi smiled and begged for mercy: "Don't! Brother! I was wrong! Is it okay to be wrong?"

Zhu Wenxuan watched the two fight, and suddenly felt that this journey might be very interesting.

At this time, they don't know what they will encounter in the future, they just feel happy.

Later, when He Qing recalled this day, he only hated himself for being obsessed with going with Fan Yi and Zhu Wenxuan, so that he met such a person, which made him feel so painful.

It can only be said that everything was preordained in the dark.

A day later, Fan Yi and the others arrived at the mouth of the Han River.

They found a two-story merchant ship, negotiated the price with the ship's steward, boarded the ship, and traveled by water from the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River.

Their ship had just sailed out of the port, and a group of people also arrived at the mouth of the Han River.

Ji Lanshu looked at the endless stream of people on the pier, and the large and small boats docked not far away, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel eager to try.

He rarely takes a boat, and this time he can finally try it!

I heard that people who take a boat occasionally suffer from seasickness, and I don't know if I will suffer from it too?

Ji Lancheng turned his head and looked at him with a smile, with a soft light in his eyes.He moved closer to Ji Lanshu, and asked softly, "Is Lanshu impatient?" Then he glanced at Mo Sheng who was following behind them.

Mo Sheng's back was chilled by the icy cold eyes of the Holy Majesty, and he immediately stepped back and walked quickly to the pier to find a boat to take.

However, when the experienced helmsman heard that he was going to the capital of wine (Yibin), he immediately shook his head and said, "In winter, the riverbed sometimes seems to dry up. At this time, if the boat goes there, it is likely that it will run aground on the way. If you are not in a hurry, little brother, Might as well wait until next year to go.”

Ren Mosheng offered to pay double the silver, but he was not moved.

In fact, it is not as serious as the helmsman said, but from the Yangtze River to Jiudu, you have to pass through the Three Gorges.As we all know, that is a natural danger, and I don't know how many ships crashed there.If there is no very important matter, most people will not choose to take the waterway.

Mo Sheng failed to finish his errand, so he went back to report to His Majesty with a bitter face: "I have just asked all over, and they all said that this is not a good time to go to Sichuan by boat. If you really want to go, it is better to go by land."

When Ji Lancheng heard this, he frowned and said, "Is there no one going to Shu?"

Mo Sheng said in a low voice: "Yes, there is. The boatman said that going from here to Sichuan is going upstream, which is quite risky, and requires the joint efforts of trackers on both sides of the strait to move the boat."

Ji Lancheng immediately decided not to go to Sichuan after hearing the word "quite risky".

He would never put Ji Lanshu in danger.

I must dispel my younger brother's idea of ​​going to Shu to see the Buddha!

So he gently enticed Ji Lanshu: "It's freezing cold now, even if we go there, there won't be much scenery. Why don't we change to Jiangnan, what does Lanshu think?"

When Ji Lanshu heard the words, he nodded with nothing to do.

If you go to Jiangnan, you can go to Jiangnan. He didn't mean to go to Shu, but he just pointed at a random place that day.

Ji Lancheng looked at Mo Sheng, Mo Sheng immediately nodded in understanding, and went to look for the boat again.

This time it was much easier for Mo Sheng to find a boat.

Soon, they boarded a merchant ship that was about to set sail.

Since then, their trip to the south of the Yangtze River began.
