Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 37 Zhao Ying Enters Beijing
The days at home are very comfortable. After half a year of expedition, I can finally settle down. I sleep today, knowing that I will wake up here tomorrow, and I don’t have to worry about whether I will fight tomorrow or whether I will die.

Don't be careful, sharpen your knife carefully every night to replenish your nails.

Sleeping until the sun rises three poles, then getting up to eat, is the happiest life.

He used to think such days were commonplace, but after half a year on the battlefield, he felt that it was extraordinarily hard-earned, and it was earned by countless unknown blood.

Early the next morning, Shi Congyun first rode to the barracks to give the people who came back with him a few days off, letting them play as they wished. After four days, they assembled and then went home and packed up with everyone.

The Shi family had a mansion in the capital, which was given by Shi Yanchao when he followed Guo Wei into the capital. There were also a few slaves there to help look after it.

After Shi Yanchao's township in Zhengzhou, his family basically went to Zhengzhou, but he was no stranger to the capital.

The little sister Shi Congmei is also very happy. Children yearn for a lively world. They don't understand the pressure of liveliness, but simply love it.

When everyone was packing, the aunt told him about the previous family affairs while busy.

Zhao Shijian quietly went to him in private, insisting on returning the money to him, Shi Congyun impatiently asked her to keep it, and finally couldn't help but scolded a few words before she stopped.

Later, while talking, the aunt said that an officer named Luqiu Zhongqing wanted to work under Shi Yanchao's command.

Luqiu Zhongqing?It's a rare surname, he thought.

Later, Shi Congyun called Zhao Shijian over to ask her about it.

Compared with the aunt, the little girl explained in great detail, and also told him the reason why people were waiting for news, and also let him know a lot of knowledge, such as the origin of the surname Luqiu.

After hearing what Zhao Shijian said, Shi Congyun pinched his chin and felt it was reasonable. In the future, Dad would definitely be a high-ranking official in the Department of Guards or the Department of the Palace, and it was necessary to have scholars around him to help, otherwise he would not be able to write a letter to the emperor.

Secondly, the second point that Zhao Shijian said most moved Shi Congyun, that is, this person worked as an official under Li Yun, the military governor of Zhaoyi Army. He was familiar with the business and could do things when he came.

Such experienced people are not easy to find, and they are not comparable to ordinary readers.

Thinking of this, Shi Congyun was going to visit in person.

So I asked my aunt and my little sister to pack up with the waiters at home, and I asked Zhao Shijian to lead the way to visit the city.

If he is really a good person, then with Dad's current power and salary, it is not easy to raise a career official, and maybe he will need more in the future.

When he went out, Zhao Shijian followed behind him, Shi Congyun brought the horse, turned around and picked up the little girl who exclaimed softly and put it on the horse's back, and then led the horse to Zhengzhou City.

He has been riding every day for the past six months, and his ass has grown calluses.

The little girl obviously didn't get used to it. She sat on the horse's back with her legs facing him, and nervously grabbed the horse's neck.

On the way, Shi Congyun said, "Your father is also in the capital. Do you want to go home this time and have a look? Do you want to buy some gifts?"

He knew that Zhao Shijian's father was the elder brother of Xiao Niang Zhao Jin, and Xiao Niang was just Shi Congyun's name, but she was actually a concubine and had a relatively low status, but Shi Yanchao didn't care about those, and the Shi family was not a noble family with strict rules. be lucky.

I heard that Zhao Shijian's father was an official in the former dynasty, that is, the later Jin dynasty, but he disappeared later.

Zhao Shijian finally got used to it on horseback. Hearing what he said, he bit his lip and said, "Money is what the family lacks the most."

Shi Congyun nodded, "You're right." To put it bluntly, if you lack everything, you can buy everything and buy nothing. It's better to give money and be filial.

"What was your father's official position before, why did you get along so badly?" Shi Congyun walked in front of him with a horse, and said unobtrusively.

"Jin Dynasty Punishment Officer." The little girl replied in a low voice.

"Prince of the Ministry of Justice!" Shi Congyun was shocked. According to the level of poverty and poverty, he thought that Zhao Shijian's father was at most a minor official. It turned out that he had achieved the rank of the prince of the Ministry of Justice.
After the Later Jin Dynasty was the Later Han Dynasty, and after the Later Han Dynasty was the current Da Zhou. Although the past two dynasties were actually only a matter of about ten years, after all, it was common for the Five Dynasties to change dynasties.

Seeing him surprised, the little girl explained: "My father. Actually, he has no ability. It was because of his grandfather's shadow that he was recruited to the official position.

Even Meng Yin can go to the Ministry of Punishment, Shi Congyun was even more curious, and turned back to ask her: "Who is your grandfather?"

Zhao Shijian was silent
Horses' hoofs stepped on the bluestone avenue outside the city. Under the bright sun, the green weeds on the roadside clump together, swaying with the wind, making noises, and the lush trees on the roadside scattered a few green leaves from time to time.

The passers-by looked at them curiously. The young lady sat on a beautiful horse with a high head, and the strong boy led the horse for a slow walk. The sun was warm and the wind was gentle.

In a trance, it is like the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It seems to have traveled through a hundred years and returned to the prosperous world when there was a lot of traffic, beautiful faces like peach blossoms, and children in fresh clothes and angry horses.

It's a pity that it was only a momentary trance, and when I came back to my senses, I felt lost. Thinking about the world today, I feel inexplicably melancholy, so some people sighed in their hearts, those things really existed.

The little girl didn't speak for a while, but Shi Congyun urged her several times before she said, "Grandpa's name is Zhao Ying."

Entering the city, following Zhao Shijian's directions, Shi Congyun led his horse forward continuously, walked two streets in succession, turned several intersections, stepped on bluestone bricks covered with moss and fine grass, and shuttled through the moss-filled streets. under the Washer.

Shi Congyun slowly recovered, Zhao Shijian actually said that his grandfather was Zhao Ying!

The amount of information in it has only been slowly recollected until now.
Afterwards, she followed up on some of her grandfather's life stories. As she slowly met, she immediately felt a magical feeling.
It was Zhao Ying.He knew that Zhao Shijian could read and write well. He must have been a scholar in his family when he was young, but he never thought that her grandfather would be Zhao Ying.

He may not remember it clearly to others, but for Shi Congyun, who likes to read some history books, Zhao Ying is familiar with Zhao Ying. After the Jin Dynasty, Zaifu not only worked in the central government, but also went out to the town to go to local festivals. Not the key, the key is that he presided over the editing of the "Old Tang Book".

The "Old Tang Book" is one of Shi Congyun's favorite history books in his previous life. From the perspective of future generations, "Old Tang Book" is not the kind of history book full of heroic historical views and Spring and Autumn brushwork.It focuses more on recording facts, recording the customs of various ethnic groups in detail, and faithfully preserving very detailed historical materials.

The reliability is very high, let alone the "New Book of Tang" written in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is far more reliable than [-]% of the historical records, including many famous historical books.

This also shows Zhao Ying's attitude towards life.

It's just that he never expected that he would meet Zhao Ying's descendants. It's really unpredictable.

Aiwu Jiwu felt that he worked hard all day long, and the little girl who dared not resist him seemed to have a halo. It was no wonder that she was good at writing and knew so much.

Luqiu's family lives in a compound in the southwest of Zheng County. It seems that the family's conditions are still good, and there is still room to live in such a large place from the north.

After arriving at the place, Shi Congyun stopped the horse and was about to take Zhao Shijian down, but he only turned around after eating a cut, and the little girl had already jumped off the horse by herself, so he didn't give him a chance at all.

"Yo, you're quite savvy." Shi Congyun boasted.

"Hmph" Zhao Shijian lowered her head and hummed to express her little pride and stubbornness.

After knocking on the door, a servant soon opened the door, and then went in to report. After a while, he came out to greet him with a big smiling face. His face changed so quickly that he could be called professional.

When they walked to the courtyard, Luqiu Boyu also smiled and greeted him in person.

"Hahaha, when I saw you by the river that day, the owner of the cabin was still in high spirits."

"Each each other." Shi Congyun greeted each other with a smile, and then walked into the room.

After sitting down in the room, Shi Congyun went straight in and talked about Luqiu Zhongqing.

Luqiu Boyu said very embarrassedly and embarrassedly: "Brother is still in the north, there is no Nandu, please forgive me, we just want to wait for a letter, after all, this is not a glorious thing, it is difficult to say it once, if there is still a difference , really. uh, really."

Shi Congyun raised his hand to interrupt his grinding and chirping: "Understood, someone understands your difficulties, then, within three months, if Brother Ling still wants this errand, he will come to the capital to find me and give it to you. leave an address."

Later, Shi Congyun left the address of their capital mansion to Luqiu Boyu, so he declined his retention and left without even finishing his tea.

When he went out, he suddenly turned around with lightning speed, and carried the unsuspecting Zhao Shijian onto the horse.

After leaving, Shi Congyun scolded: "Damn, don't throw eagles if you don't see a rabbit."

Zhao Xiaoniang understood that he was scolding the two brothers of the Luqiu family, so she added: "Not like a reliable person"

Shi Congyun nodded, "When the time comes, let's talk and have a good look at it. You can't judge a person by just a few words. I always feel that I have heard this person's name before, but I can't remember it clearly."

After that, he took the little girl for a walk around the street, and with the help of Li Quan, he found a few Pao Bianliang and Zhengzhou carriage house, negotiated a good price with them, and prepared for the move.

They have more than a dozen horses, but they are all war horses, more valuable than people, and they are reluctant to use them to pull carts.

After four days of tossing, there are seven carriages, big and small, such as pear wood chairs, big red sandalwood boxes for clothes, small pots and pans, combs, silver and copper jewelry, Shi Congyun’s puppets when he was a child. Toys, etc., all in one piece.

Wang Zhong, Shao Ji and a dozen cavalrymen were also recalled.

Then Shi Congyun opened the way, and the convoy started to go to the capital Bianliang along the road by the Yellow River.
