illegitimate child
Chapter 148: Withered Cicada
Spring comes early in Jiangdong, and the weather gets warmer the further you go south, and the surrounding villages and towns can faintly see the scenery of small bridges, flowing water, and homes. Many of the post stations on the way are in disrepair and even empty shells.
This scene couldn't bear to laugh at the extremely deep Gongyang Road in the city, and finally saw the village again, and everyone who had gnawed on the dry biscuits for several days and almost faded out of their mouths breathed a sigh of relief.
The accompanying servants first went into the village to clear the road, and borrowed several large flat houses in the village for the masters to repair, and the village guards and village officials came out with him.
Gongyangtu looks like a parent and official, chatting with the two of them kindly, with a smile on his lips all the time, a young man in front of him leads the way, and the village head and the village are introducing the scattered buildings in the village to Gongyangtu along the way.When the boy led the crowd around the village without stopping, Gongyangtu's seemingly impeccable smile finally showed waves, and Song Ling stood up in time to make a rescue.
Gongyangtu heaved a sigh of relief and said a few words to Song Ling before each of them rested.
Song Ling's relationship with Gongyangtu along the way can be said to say that the well water does not violate the river water, the lower respects the superior, and the superior loves the inferior.He didn't really work for Emperor Changtong, so why offend others.Whenever he was greeted by local officials along the way, he would find an excuse to stay away from them and not do annoying things.
If Changtong asked him to monitor Gongyangtu, Song Lingquan scoffed. Then Gongyangtu was not stupid, and he could openly form a party for personal gain in front of someone like Changtong who intervened?
After resting for half a day and then set off again, everyone was slightly less tired, and the convoy was moving forward, and further ahead was the rich and prosperous land in the south, with many towns and counties.Every time I passed a county, the county magistrate led the clan elders to visit, and the itinerary was slowed down again.
After entering the border of Jiangdong, the year has entered April, and it is the time when the grass grows and the warbler flies and the urchin plays with the kite.
The convoy stopped at Turtle Back Cape, where the terrain of Jiangdong was flat and hilly, and it was above the horizontal line to look down at the scenery of Jiangdong at a glance.
Blue tiles and white walls are lined up in a row, and waterways are drawn out in the workshop, during which the painting boats and canoes are floating.The word floating is not fabricated for no reason. There are real vagrants who lie on their backs in the boat and let the boat drift without paddling or steering.
All the pedestrians I saw were full of spirit and full of energy, walking with their heads held high.As the saying goes, a prosperous age raises an arrogant people, and the word "prosperous age" in Jiangdong Dan is unique in the Li Dynasty.
Looking far away, you can vaguely see the Xiaolian Mountains. This is a famous mountain in the east of the Yangtze River. From ancient times to the present, countless literati have chanted or recited countless famous works.
Gongyangtu suddenly sighed: "You can see the legacy of the ancient times."
Song Ling looked back after looking at it for a while, and said to himself, no matter which county or town you meet on the way from Shangjing, local officials will go out to greet you, and you can't see half of Dujiangdong.When the inspector travels, it represents the majesty of the court, and anyone who sticks out their stinky feet has to bow down and hold a handful.Jiang Dong didn't even intend to do it to save face, no wonder Chang Tong couldn't eat it.
Gongyang Tuxiao greeted Mimi, "Follow the old man, I'm afraid you won't be able to find the post house when you come back from Jiangdong."
It's a good city, who can still laugh after being treated so coldly. Song Ling silently followed him a step behind, and suddenly the wind blew down a magnolia flower, and threw it straight into Song Ling's arms.
"Hahahaha," Gongyangtu said half-jokingly when he saw this, "Magnolia threw himself into his bosom, Song Lang has got the eye of Yuelao, but there is a beautiful blessing waiting for you."
Song Ling wasn't disappointed either, and smiled shyly, holding the magnolia flower to play with. The milky white flower was slightly transparent with dewdrops on it, just like a beauty half vomited dew.
It took about a quarter of an hour to enter the main urban area. Jiangdong is different from other places in the Li Dynasty. There are no counties and towns. Instead, there are twelve cities. The main city is called Jianliu, Wang's ancestral home and post are all located here.
The entourage found more than [-] mule carts, and they got on the carts, and they walked for an hour before arriving at the post house.The post house is a four-story building with a sign outside the gate and surrounded by streams. Song Ling casually threw the magnolia into the water.
An exquisite painting boat moves slowly along the Jiangdong Waterway.
"Ah," Luo Jinnian fumbled out a handkerchief and wiped his nose, turned over from the beauty's couch, opened the curtain and walked to the deck, the pollen became thick and choked him, making him roll his eyes.
Luo Jinnian covered his nose with a handkerchief, and walked from the compartment to the stern. Xiao Shuanzi was squatting on the plywood, grilling fish with halazi, and Wang Ju moved Zhang Xiaozi. Afterimages can occur.
Suddenly, the two heard a voice from behind, "Let the boatman stop by the side, the pollen is suffocating, let's walk to Xiaolian Mountain and don't take a boat." Suddenly there was a sound of breathing around Wang Ju, and the sound of beating was scratching one's eardrums, "Wang Ju? Wang Ju! Did you hear that! I told you to stop the boat!"
The veins on the back of Wang Ju's hand popped, and he clutched his abacus and slapped Luo Jinnian desperately, "I beat you to death today, you prodigal son, and you are the one who rents the boat, and it costs two taels of silver for an hour. Fill up the four hours!"
Luo Jinnian had no heart of repentance, relying on his rough skin and thick flesh, he let Wang Ju beat and scold him, and he said with a playful smile: "Is the fight over? I'm going to get off the ship after the fight."
Little Shuanzi heard that he was going to leave, held up the grilled fish and kept shaking it, "Brother Jing gave you the grilled fish, take it with you!"
"Shua," Luo Jinnian was very polite, took the fish and jumped down to Class A, tapped the water surface with his toes and jumped into the case, he was stunned by the operation and pressed the passerby.
Seeing this, he was even more proud, he took down the magnolia and threw it to the passing girl, and walked away with his hands on his pillow.
He brought Wang Ju to Jiangdong because he heard Zhang Xiucai mention that Wang Ju is a member of Jiangdong Wang's branch lineage, and he is also considered a half Jiangdong landlord. He thought he could understand the location of the painting on the silk.Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiucai didn't finish his sentence. Wang Ju's ancestor has been an official in Liuzhou for five generations. He himself is a native of Liuzhou.
On the way, he took out the silk and showed it to him, only to find that Wang Ju didn't know much about it, he only knew that the mountain range was Xiaolian Mountain.It just so happened that Luo Jinnian thought the little old man was long-winded and the children were annoying, so he found an excuse to get away.
However, Young Master Luo obviously misunderstood his ability to take care of himself a little, the money on his body was coaxed by the peddler not long after he left, and now his pockets are cleaner than his face.
But Young Master Luo was not in the least bit chaotic, wandering the streets with great interest, his ears always pricked up to join in the excitement.
It just so happened that there was a bustling scene in front of it again. A plaque was hung in front of the door of a three-story turret, and it was written to the Hanlin Wenguan. In front of the building, there were rows of scholars standing in order of height, all wearing green straight gowns of the same color, and tied on their foreheads. Pujin.
According to Luo Jinnian's words, hey, the onions in Jiangdong grow well, and they are tall and strong.
A man in a dark green straight suit stood on the steps and gave a hoarse speech,
"The temptress is about to return to Beijing today! My compatriots, Liuzhou has been destroyed by the temptress! How can we just sit back and watch the journey to Beijing! The witch's identity is unknown, and if she is allowed to enter the city, she will be punished by heaven, and my compatriots will stop with me." Temptress defends Li Dynasty!"
"Zhu Tianwan! Wei Shangjing! Poor to protect the country! Die Mingzhi!"
The slogans were repeated one after another, which was deafening, and the geese in the sky were startled, flapping their wings and flying away.
Xiao Liu led the uniformly distributed banners and was swept up to the city gate by the crowd. They said that Di Rong invaded Liuzhou because Luo's family and Di Rong colluded with each other. Otherwise, how could a mere woman in Tian Wan retreat from Di Rong?They also said that Tian Wan was the disaster star of the Li Dynasty, as long as she lived for a day, wherever she went, there would be wars outside and plague inside.Xiao Liu didn’t really believe it, but he needed money. They said they would get a dime a day if they called for it, and he would be able to save enough money to buy a household registration in a month, and he would be able to walk out of the refugee slum.
Xiao Liu gripped the banner tightly, closed his eyes and shouted: "Zhu Tianwan! Wei Shangjing! Poor to protect the country! Die Mingzhi!"
"The last one, you come up." Jiang Dong, Hanlin Wenguan, the man on the steps suddenly waved to the last row of the crowd, "Yes, it's just you, don't look around and come up quickly."
Standing in the last row, Luo Jinnian was a full head taller than the rest. He met the eyes of the people on the steps and pointed to the tip of his nose, "Me?"
He looked left and right, made sure he was talking about himself, and then walked over generously, afraid of a hammer, as long as this group of chicks really wanted to treat him, he could overturn ten of them with one hand Really not enough to watch.
The crowd split like water to make way for him, and Luo Jinnian stood up the stairs with a lot of inquiring and playful eyes.
The person who called him was Wang Mingjuan, a descendant of the branch of the Wang family. Because he was born in a prominent family, he was the most talented and learned, so he took the lead in every major event.He looked Luo Jinnian up and down, nodded in satisfaction, turned around and asked someone to take a new plain scarf from the hall and hand it to Luo Jinnian, "Stand at the front later, and shout louder."
Luo Jinnian agreed without asking what was the matter, and Wang Juan asked him to stand by his side to greet people, and lined up to go in one direction.
After a long while, he looked back at Luo Jinnian who was still standing on the steps, wondering, "Why are you still not moving, you can't find the way to the post house?"
Luo Jinnian shook his head with the plain towel, "Brother, before I came to Jiangdong, I said that the people of Jiangdong are warm and hospitable. Why do you want me to be taken into the ditch when I am thinking about you, the landlord?"
Here he is the only one who wears the standard breeches except him, he is the only one who wears riding clothes, he is tall and the color of his clothes is different from the others, and he joins in to watch the fun, any fool will know that he is a layman who doesn't know the situation.
Coupled with his foreign accent, isn't this a ready-made advantage?
Wang Juan's face froze, and he cupped his hands as if nothing had happened, and said, "Brother doesn't want to wait with me, that's all, why bother wronging me for coming."
Luo Jinnian walked up to Wang Juan, hooked his shoulders and put his back together, then changed the subject and said with a smile: "Actually, this matter still needs to be discussed. I will do something for you. I don't know how much it will cost?"
"Mere money, things outside of the body, if you are short, some brothers here just take it and use it." Wang Juan generously took off the purse from his waist and handed it to Luo Jinnian.
"Okay," Luo Jinnian was not polite. Back then, he opened his purse and counted, then tied the scarf on his head in satisfaction, "Let's go!" Come back.
Luo Jinnian pressed Wang Juan to catch up with the people who went ahead, and asked, "Where is this matter going, brother?"
Wang Juan's expression turned cold, and he looked at the looming four-story turret in the distance,
"Inspect the post office."
This scene couldn't bear to laugh at the extremely deep Gongyang Road in the city, and finally saw the village again, and everyone who had gnawed on the dry biscuits for several days and almost faded out of their mouths breathed a sigh of relief.
The accompanying servants first went into the village to clear the road, and borrowed several large flat houses in the village for the masters to repair, and the village guards and village officials came out with him.
