I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 250
Unaware of the heavy feelings of Wu Tongzhi and Mrs. Wu, Zhan Feiyu sat leisurely in the carriage, chatting with Yin Wuyan while looking out the window.

"Big brother, I suspect that the teacher asked me to visit an old friend instead of him. It's true that the bumps that made me tired are real." Zhan Feiyu wrinkled his nose and complained.

Generally, scholars go to the south of the Yangtze River where the literary style is at its peak, and they don't go to the northwest.

"After General Yang was dispatched to the border, it was the old man Du Diao who brought General Yang's family back to Weizhou." Yin Wuyan explained roughly.

General Yang is a few years older than Xueshi Gu. I heard that when Xueshi Gu and Shengyou were studying, they encountered bandits. The two were rescued by General Yang, but one was a prince with a high status, who would be the Ninth Five-Year Lord in the future. One is the son of the Gu family in Nanling, and later a bachelor.

General Yang is a general, and the two sides don't have much intersection.

And eight years ago, the Yang family was accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, even if the evidence was convincing, but the Holy One remembered the life-saving grace of the year, he was lenient to the Yang family, otherwise, according to the evidence, even if the sentence was light, General Yang would be beheaded Making a decision is not as simple as issuing border crossings.

The old man Du Diao is a well-known Confucian in the Northwest, but he is aloof and arrogant, and likes to travel. When he was in danger while traveling in the barbarians, he was rescued by General Yang.

Perhaps because of this life-saving grace, after the accident in the Yang family, other people did not dare to touch their hands, but only tricked the old man to come forward to deal with it, so that General Yang's family was finally moved to Weizhou to live temporarily, otherwise the old and the young If Xiao stays in the mine, I'm afraid there will be no bones left.

Chong Guang, who rode his horse and whipped his whip, looked back at the carriage, his eyes were full of ridicule, "It's the first time I know that a fat girl is so wordy."

He Sheng, who was driving the carriage, nodded silently, perhaps because Qi Ye was there.

On weekdays, the young lady is sensible and well-behaved, and puts all her attention on reading. Even if it is not convenient to read in the carriage, she can still recite articles and poems. This will make the young lady look like a child who has not grown up.

"Master, depending on the weather, it's probably going to rain." Chong Guang raised his voice and shouted.

Leaving the boundary of Jiangnan Road and heading northwest all the way, in the past it would not rain for ten days and half a month, but now the sky is already covered with dark clouds.

Opening the curtain, Zhan Feiyu smiled at Chong Guang on the horseback, "When you go out, it often rains, and the gold thread is full of silver strands. If you are lucky enough to meet the pouring, you will be drunk and listen to the music."

"Fat girl, wait until it rains, let me see if you can still be so smug." Zhong Guang laughed, he could feel a chill even on the horse's back, and it would be even colder when it rained.

Weizhou is located in Longyou Road. Most people call it the Northwest Seven Guards. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large. There are chrysanthemums blooming in Jiangnan Road in October, but the Northwest Seven Guards have entered winter. If it snows, it will be colder.

Zhan Feiyu was about to lean out of the carriage with half of his body, pointing at the carriage behind, barking his teeth and claws, "A Nuan packed a big box of clothes for me, Uncle Chongguang, you should worry about yourself."

Yin Wuyan and Chongguang always go out in light clothes, and sleeping in the open is the norm. Sometimes the military situation is urgent, and it is normal to not sleep a wink for three days and three nights. Unlike Zhan Feiyu, the carriage behind is full of her things, even the pot. Bowls and pans are all brought.

"Sit down." In the carriage, Yin Wuyan put his long arms around Zhan Feiyu's waist and pulled him back.

Who would have thought that the wheels of the carriage ran over the stone, and under the bumps, Zhan Feiyu sat on Yin Wuyan's lap, and after hearing the muffled groan, Zhan Feiyu was stunned for a while.

this is?Blushing with embarrassment, Zhan Feiyu hurriedly got up, but today the carriage seemed to be against her, and there was another violent bump, and the raised buttocks sat back down again.

In an instant, Zhan Feiyu blushed from his face to his neck, and even the roots of his ears were red. He was a nine-year-old child...

Yin Wuyan's face changed without makeup, but his body froze for a moment. Afterwards, Yin Wuyan put his hands on Zhan Feiyu's waist and put him directly beside him, "Good job."

"Qi Ye, people buried a lot of stones on the road." He Sheng didn't know what happened in the carriage, and after replying, he slightly pulled the reins to slow down the speed of the carriage.

Although it was a dirt road, many pits were dug out with hoes. After burying stones, they were sprinkled with soil and tamped down. This good road became bumpy.

Chongguang didn't feel much riding a horse yet, but Zhan Feiyu felt that his bumpy buttocks were about to turn into four petals in the carriage.

Zhan Feiyu didn't care about the embarrassment anymore, "Big Brother, is there someone who wants to rob?"

"No." Yin Wuyan looked at the uncomfortable Zhan Feiyu, and said in a deep voice, "He Sheng, stop the carriage."

A moment later, Yin Wuyan hugged Zhan Feiyu and sat on the horse's back. After the black cloak wrapped the person airtightly, the horse was wrapped around his legs, and the horse neighed into the distance.

Just showing a pair of eyes outside the cloak, Zhan Feiyu looked around Yimapingchuan, well, there will be no robbers in this open space, even horse thieves will not come out in this weather, it doesn’t matter if people get wet in the rain , If the horse is sick, the loss will be great.

The wind was strong and the black clouds were churning. In a blink of an eye, Zhan Feiyu could feel the chill creeping into his body along his clothes, and the wind was as cold as a knife.

"Sit still." Yin Wuyan embraced the little girl in front of him with one hand, and grabbed the reins with the other, urging the steed under his crotch to gallop again, and finally found a ruined temple before the heavy rain fell.

Looking at the ruined temple with burning torches with cold eyes, Yin Wuyan hugged Zhan Feiyu with his left hand and jumped off the horse.

"Is there someone?" Zhan Feiyu glanced inside curiously, but he still obediently followed Yin Wuyan.

After Yin Wuyan tied the horse to the post, Zhan Feiyu looked at the four villagers who came out of the ruined temple.

"Young Master and Miss, the villagers of Loujia Village near us have just returned from the market, and it will rain. We have bought a lot of things. Do you want to buy some?" Gao Zhuang's aunt smiled and said, looking at this skillful It's not the first time I've done something like this.

Zhan Feiyu looked at the bamboo baskets lined up behind the four of them. In one basket were large cabbage, green onions, garlic, eggs, and a small piece of pork.

There is a quilt in the other basket, the quilt is covered with coarse cloth, and the cotton in it is probably not very good, but it is raining, and it is freezing cold, and it will not hurt to light a bonfire and wrap another quilt was frozen.

"I still have two coats here, ones made of wolf fur." ​​Another black and thin aunt hurriedly said, seeing Zhan Feiyu's red lips and white teeth, she must be a spoiled lady from a rich family, so she must not be short of money.

"Leave these dishes, and you don't need the quilt and jacket." Zhan Feiyu will understand now. The stones buried on the road are probably to toss the passengers and slow down the carriage, so that they can't catch up with the nearest one. In Xiangwu County, they can only stay overnight in the ruined temple, and the villagers take the opportunity to sell some things.

It is estimated that Yin Wuyan's breath is too cold, and the aunt who sells vegetables does not dare to charge a high price, "If you want all these, the lady will give you five hundred Wen."

Expensive is expensive, but in the wilderness, it is not bad to be able to eat some vegetables and eggs. Zhan Feiyu didn't counter the price, and paid the bill with a few coins from his pocket.

"Go out of the temple and go to the left and you will see the pool. It's going to rain. Let me clean the place for you, Miss." As soon as the aunt selling vegetables opened her mouth, the three aunts beside her also started to help.

"The firewood here was delivered by my boy a few days ago, so feel free to use it, miss."

"Miss, the roof here is good and doesn't leak, and you can't get cold wind if you sit here and open the door."

"I still have a straw mat here, miss, if you don't mind it, you can lay it on." An aunt took out the straw mat from behind the statue, and spread the straw mat after seeing that the ground was cleaned.

Zhan Feiyu couldn't help laughing. It was well prepared. It seemed that his guess was correct. The stones on the road were buried by the villagers.

"Why don't you leave the quilt as well." Zhan Feiyu gave another five hundred wen, although Uncle Chongguang was not afraid of the cold at all.

After the aunts happily left with the remaining things, Chongguang and He Sheng also came over.

"Fat girl, what about you?" Chongguang took off his wet robe, and looked curiously at Zhan Feiyu sitting on the straw mat, with a fire burning in front of him. Compared with the messy ruined temple, the fat girl is obviously tidy After that, could it be that Master Qi did it?

Chongguang glanced at Yin Wuyan who was putting firewood on the fire. When his seventh master went on missions, he lived in the open air, but the rest of the time he was an elegant and noble son. Chongguang really couldn't imagine the scene of Yin Wuyan cleaning and tidying up. The sense of disobedience was too strong.

While the coachman was still feeding the horses outside, He Nuan and He Sheng came in carrying their things.

A fur mattress was placed on the straw mat, and a bed sheet was spread, and a copper pot filled with water was also put on the fire.

"Ah Nuan, bake the pancakes on the iron plate, then slice the meat into thin slices, let's grill the meat, and make vegetable soup." Zhan Feiyu squatted by the fire, and there were a lot of vegetables in the basket. He Nuan also brought I bought some food, but it was not as fresh as the vegetables sold by the villagers.

He Nuan didn't refuse, "Okay, I'll go out and wash the dishes first."

Two quarters of an hour later, the thinly sliced ​​pork sizzled on the iron plate, and as soon as the seasoning was sprinkled, the aroma came out.

"Ah Nuan, I'll fry the eggs." Zhan Feiyu said excitedly, rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

This iron plate was made by He Sheng when Zhan Feiyu decided to go on a study tour. It is about two feet long, and it is more convenient to put it on the fire than to bring out the iron pot.

Fried eggs with sliced ​​meat, then stuffed into pancakes, a simple dinner is settled, and a bowl of vegetable soup at the end, which is better than ordinary farm meals.

"Uncle Chongguang, if you dare to make trouble, I will eat this salty egg that cannot be eaten!" Zhan Feiyu threatened viciously. Seeing Chongguang's silently retracted hand, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows proudly, saying that he was one foot taller than the devil. One foot tall!
"Fat girl, fry two more pieces of meat!" Not to be outdone, Chong Guang put the raw meat slices on the iron plate, but used Zhan Feiyu as a cook.

"I..." Before the words came out, the water droplets on the meat slices exploded when they touched the hot oil.

Before Zhan Feiyu could react, a slender hand blocked her face.

Facing the cold phoenix eyes of his seventh master, Zhongguang shrank back guiltily, well, it would be nice to have something to fill his stomach tonight, don't expect to eat meat.

Zhan Feiyu glared angrily at Chong Guang, the culprit, handed the chopsticks to He Nuan, and took Yin Wuyan's hand to check.

Different from Zhan Fei's fleshy and soft hands, Yin Wuyan's hands are slender, with well-defined joints, and there is no trace of excess fat on the back of the hands. There are two mung bean-sized red marks splashed by oil beads.

"It doesn't matter." This doesn't even count as an injury, so Yin Wuyan naturally doesn't care, but looking at the little girl's white tofu-like face, Yin Wuyan's cold eyes can't help but look towards Chong Guang who shrank aside.

Chongguang's back felt cold, and he almost wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.

Should!deserve it!Zhan Feiyu glared at the cowardly Chongguang, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the oil stains on the back of Yin Wuyan's hands, "It's almost ready to eat, big brother, I'll get it for you first..."

There was another sound of horseshoes outside the ruined temple, and after a burst of noise, the door of the ruined temple was pushed open again.

The cold wind and rain poured in, Zhan Feiyu raised his eyes, and saw that it was two rough envoys who came in first, followed by a 20-year-old maid.

"How do you rest in this place?" The servant girl frowned in disdain, and retreated to a cleaner corner.

The dilapidated temple is not small. Compared to the mess and dirt on the left, there is a fire on the right, with mattresses on the ground, and a low table on the side, with bowls and chopsticks on it, and an iron plate on the fire, and the smell of meat wafts over. , making people feel hungry.

"Miss Lian, we'll clean up after a while." The tall woman licked her face and smiled.

The ground is littered with dead branches, fallen leaves, dust, and some sundries from the ruined temple. It’s enough to clean it up. It’s raining outside, so it would be nice to have a shelter in a ruined temple.

The maid known as Miss Lian raised her eyebrows and scolded coldly: "The roof is still leaking, and the windows here are also broken. What are you going to do to fix it? Madam is already weak. If you get wind and cold, you can take care of it." Are you responsible?"

The tall woman lowered her head with a embarrassed expression, but she didn't dare to speak again.

"Miss Lian, calm down." The short woman hurriedly smoothed things over, and said in a low voice, "It's windy and rainy outside, we can't let Madam sit in the carriage all the time."

Miss Lian sullenly did not answer, she glanced at the dirty ground with disgust, but she tiptoed towards Zhan Feiyu, "My lady, my wife is weak, and she is still taking a nap in the carriage , the ruined temple is too dilapidated and simple, I wonder if the girl can make it easier for her to let the place out."

Although the words were quite polite, Miss Lian's expression was a gift and alms from above. After she finished speaking, she took out a purse, "There are 50 taels of silver bills in it, please help me, my wife will be very grateful. "

Without waiting for Zhan Feiyu to speak, Miss Lian put her purse on the low table, looked back at the two women and urged sharply, "What are you still doing in a daze? Come quickly and tidy up here!"

Is this a strong buy and sell?Zhan Feiyu looked at the two wives who didn't know what to do, and then looked at the maid with a high posture, and said with a smile: "This ruined temple is not my family, your wife is willing to come to our side to make do with it. It's okay, but I still have a few guards here, if there is any offense, please bear with me when you are out of the house."
