Bianshanhan [farming]

In August, the wharf closest to the capital ushered in the busiest time. From the shore to several miles inside, there were ships of all sizes.

The ships from the south and east are the most, and the north is the least. Anyone who often works at the dock knows that the only ship in the north is the big ship from Linsu, but this year, there is an extra new ship.

Because there was no open space, the new ship wandered on the sea for several days, and was finally able to land safely.

There were unfamiliar faces on the boat, and all the heavy wooden barrels were transported. After these wooden barrels were unloaded, they were loaded onto cars and then pulled to the capital.

Li Qingfeng took people to the capital on a new boat, brought liquor and beer, and the three sheep and scorpion shops finally had beer to sell.

Hurrying quickly, they finally arrived in the capital at this time.

Not surprisingly, Li Qingwen passed the election, but the letter he sent to Qin Shuyuan was not approved.

Li Qingwen wanted to return to the border city to work, but Qin Shuyuan thought that would be too inferior, and wanted to keep him in the capital, so Li Qingwen should not rush to make a decision, but think it over again.

In this way, the matter of Li Qingwen's appointment as an official was shelved for the time being.

The shops in and outside the city are still booming, Li Qinghong wants to go back to the border town to get married, and hand over the business in the capital to other people.

Although Li Qingyong, Li Qinggui and others also want to go back to join in the fun, the three shops and the inn are inseparable from people at all. They can only stay and work hard, give Li Qinghong the things they bought for their family, and wait for them to return to the capital. Another wedding reception.

The date of getting married has been fixed long ago, the Li family brothers bought things early, after Li Qingfeng came to the capital, the day to return home is getting closer day by day.

When Xu Qingyuan said that he wanted to go with him, Li Qingwen was surprised. He knew that Master Xu had always been interested in the border town, but he didn't expect that he would go all the way to see it for himself.

Of course Li Qingwen had no objection, and told him the itinerary on the road in detail, so that he could be prepared.

Su Yuanbao didn't want Li Qingwen to leave in the first place, and he was also diligent. He finished reading all the storybooks he had written, and began to cry when he watched Li Qingwen pack his bags.

Li Qingfeng couldn't bear to see such a big kid wiping his tears, and said, "Come together if you're so reluctant, what's the use of crying."

In a word, it finally illuminated the road ahead for Su Yuanbao.

The little guy sat up straight, and ran back to pester his uncle.

Su Shuqing felt sorry for his nephew, and after being pestered by Su Yuanbao for a few days, he finally couldn't take it anymore and took his nephew to find his eldest brother.

In the end, Su Shuyi not only agreed with his son to go, but also let his younger brother go with him, and sent several guards to accompany him.

Su Yuanbao, who finally got his wish, flew to Li Qingwen's side like a bird, so happy that his nose was almost snotty.

After buying things, a group of people prepared to take a boat to Linsu.

The day before his departure, unexpectedly, Li Qingzhuo was also preparing to return to the border town.

Although Li Qingzhuo is a Jinshi and the first, he is just a small official, and he is very busy on weekdays. Originally, after Li Qinghong set the wedding date, he did not have time to return to the border town. Although it is regrettable, there is no other way. It takes several months just to go back and forth. If you work in the Yamen, you can leave your post for several months without any reason.

This happened so suddenly, of course Li Qinghong was the happiest. Although they were both in the capital, the two brothers were busy on weekdays and didn't see each other much. This time when they went back, they could ride horses together for a long time.

Although Li Qingzhuo was able to return to the border town, he was on official business and could not take the boat, so he had to go from Yuanbei City.

Li Qingwen was a little worried. In this season, the road from Yuanbei City to Border Town was not so easy, but he was relieved to hear that there were hundreds of officers and soldiers traveling with him.

In this way, after the agreement was made, a group of people set off from the capital in two routes to the border town.

They boarded the boat bustlingly from the pier. The boat was new, and the wood smell in the cabin was still very strong. The interior and exterior of the boat were exactly the same as the old boat they had been on many times, because the people from Linsu , only this kind of boat will be built.

Apart from Li Qingfeng, Qi Min and others, there were some unfamiliar faces on the ship. They were experienced crew members and sailors who were found by the ship's boss, and many of them were their relatives.

The spacious and airy cabin was reserved for the female family members and relatives of the Lu family. Although the other people had their luggage below, they lay on the deck at night because the cabin below was too hot to bear the stuffiness.

Li Qingfeng became taller and stronger. Because of his personality, his handsome face was particularly easy to attract the attention of others. When he was on the shore, his feet were blown by the wind and he was full of heroism, but after the boat started, his complexion became a little ugly.

Although it was no longer as painful as the first time on a boat, and he vomited non-stop, his body was still a little unwell. He also liked to be brave, and his face was gloomy when he was not good. Su Yuanbao didn't know why, so he took out all the food in his pocket Giving it to him didn't make Li Qingfeng show a happy smile.

There was not much wind on the sea at this time of year, Su Shuqing started to sleep when he got on the boat, handed Su Yuanbao to Li Qingwen before lying down, and only told him not to let him fall into the sea.

Li Qingwen knew that Su Shuqing was very serious in his work and forgot to sleep and eat. He was so tired, it could be said that he really dedicated himself to it.

Su Shuqing lay down on the narrow and shady place on the deck. After falling asleep, as the sun shifted, he was exposed to the sun. Li Qingwen and Su Yuanbao pulled fabrics and made a simple awning to cover With the scorching sun and the sea breeze blowing, Su Shuqing's sleeping face under the awning really eased a lot.

On the way to the north, there were two light rains, and the pergola was wet, but there was no need to move it. When the sun came out, it dried for a while, and then it was dry again, and then it was ready to use.

When the boat arrived at Linsu, I could see something different from a distance. When I got off the boat, I found that the exiles here were gone and moved to the border town. The wharf was half built, and there were officers and soldiers as well as laborers. The road is quite flat, and there are several newly built restaurants and inns on the shore.

Unload the things bought from the capital, stay in the new inn, rest for a day and a half, and then continue northward.

At first, he thought there was no one in the inn, but when he checked in, he found that there were several caravans from the south. At first, Li Qingwen thought they were going to the border town to do business, but he didn't expect that they were exchanging things with Puju people.

In the past, Linsu had always been regarded as a place of bitter cold by Daliang, so exiles were dispatched here. With the new emperor ascending the throne, he gradually paid more attention to the north. Many people sensed something, and more and more merchants and common people went north. .

No matter how good the boat is, it is not as good as on land. After traveling on the sea for several days, when we arrived at the inn, everyone fell asleep after cleaning. Li Qingwen went downstairs to find something to eat. He only wanted a bowl of porridge, but he was caught drinking by a table in the lobby. The guests give a warm invitation to the past.

Li Qingwen was interested in these businessmen, and these people were equally curious about him. A few men from the south enthusiastically poured wine for him. Li Qingwen waved his hands repeatedly, expressing that he didn't drink, and he had to go on his way tomorrow, so drinking was uncomfortable.

These people were not reluctant, and took the initiative to tell where they came from, where they went, and how they were with Puyu merchants.

Only then did Li Qingwen know that most of what they received from Puju were medicinal materials, marine products, furs and so on.

Knowing that Li Qingwen was going back to the border town, these merchants exchanged glances with each other, and one of them said: "The border town is not stable now, if you don't move, you want to go back?"

Li Qingwen was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously, "How did you say that?"

Obviously, the family was fine when the fourth brother came, so why did he hear something different from these people.

"The imperial court forbade the people and businessmen to go north. We heard some things from Puju people..." One of the men looked at Li Qingwen and said, "I heard that there have been two battles, and we don't know how the outcome will be."

Li Qingwen frowned. He hadn't heard the fourth brother mention this before. Could it be that it happened recently?

Because of this unexpected news, Li Qingwen finished his porridge and went back to lie down for a long time without falling asleep.

In the past, when Jiang Cong and the others committed crimes, he was worried, but now that he is finally free, he has to face a wolfish and ambitious enemy, which is still worrying.

Early the next morning, Li Qingwen asked the fourth brother about this matter. Li Qingfeng was still awake, and only said that the officers and soldiers from the border town and the Puju officers and soldiers accidentally bumped into each other, and it was no big deal to beat him up.

Li Qingwen didn't know what he meant by beating him, he just hoped to go home early and figure it out.

When Li Qingfeng and the others delivered wine to the capital, they used more than 200 horses. These horses were looked after by the people in the clan. After Li Qingwen and the others arrived, they rested for a long time, and then loaded the goods purchased in the capital into the carriage and left. second half.

Lu Xuening and her mother were sitting in the carriage in the middle, and there were several female relatives in the front and back. It was the first time they saw the wilderness in Saibei, looking around, their plain faces were both surprised and surprised.

Li Qingwen and Su Yuanbao sat in the rearmost cart. The horse pulling the cart was a mule, but it was accompanied by a colt.

The body of the pony is shedding its hair, and the thick hair is falling down little by little, revealing the tight new hair inside. The pony is very docile and walks behind the car, with its nose blowing out hot air. Sometimes it is tired, and it walks crookedly. It will take a break.

Su Yuanbao was still a half-grown child, so the journey was naturally more difficult. He kept his eyes on the pony.

The man and the horse looked at each other for a few days, and finally got to know each other. The little pony would take the initiative to kiss him, and Su Yuanbao would feed it his own snacks.

He tried to walk with the pony, but within a quarter of an hour he was exhausted and paralyzed, lying on Li Qingwen's lap with a distressed expression on his face, but Li Qingwen forbade him to feed the pony any more.

After getting off the boat, it was no longer hot, the autumn air was crisp, and the journey was not so irritating. Li Qingfeng and the others would shoot a few prey when they encountered prey on the way, and it would become meat in the pot at night.

When they arrived at the first station, they were not far from the border town.
