Glory all the way

Chapter 318 Landscape
The warblers are flying and the grass is growing, and all things are recovering. Standing on the edge of the ridge, looking at the endless fields in front of you, the new scene of spring full of the earth, will always make people feel broad-minded.

Du Xuan took a few sips of the water bag from Bai Yingluo's hand, pointed to the distance and said to Bai Yingluo: "The further you go, the more green you can see. When you arrive at Jiading Mansion, it will be the most beautiful time of the year. It's the season, when the time comes, let's stay there for a few more days, and I'll take you on a stroll for a few days."

The usual Du Xuan is calm and introverted. Have you ever seen him so happy, so happy that his eyebrows are beaming with joy?
Bai Yingluo nodded with a smile, and took Brother Yan from Liusu's arms.

When they left the capital in February, the servants in the mansion only brought four of them with them.

Suiyuan and Lu Yao by Du Xuan's side, Tassel and Liuying by Bai Yingluo's side, when others asked to follow, Bai Yingluo refused and only told them to take care of their home.

Even Old Madam Bai and Mrs. Xue felt that Bai Yingluo was too casual, so why should they bring a nurse with them?
Brother Yan is ten months old, but he hasn't been weaned yet. Bai Yingluo has long since run out of milk, so she doesn't bring a wet nurse with her. What will Brother Yan eat on this journey?
When asked by old lady Bai, Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo looked at each other and smiled.

Farmers in Zhuangzi, when there are too many children in the family and milk is not enough, you can always find some milk and goat milk. No matter how bad it is, there is thick millet soup. Much more solid.

Therefore, even though it is the first time to be parents, Bai Yingluo and Du Xuan have the same mind, and they will never coddle their children.

What's more, the old people often say that poor children are rich and daughters are raised, and brother Yan is a boy, so he should not be so squeamish.

Along the way, Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo's outfits were very ordinary, they looked like a young couple returning home to visit their relatives, they didn't look at them at all.When staying at the peak, Bai Yingluo would go to the store to find some soups like milk and rice soup to feed to my brother Yan. Maybe the taste is different from milk, but the little guy eats it with gusto.

It's only been a month since he came out, and Brother Yan has already sunk a lot, Bai Yingluo had to put it down after holding her for a while, rubbing his arms and complaining that he is a little chubby.

I don't know if he understood his mother's words, Brother Yan smiled even more heartily, showing a few small teeth like rice grains, that bright smile was enough to sweep away all the haze that weighed on Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo's hearts.

After resting for a while, Du Xuan helped Bai Yingluo into the carriage, and rode beside him, talking to Bai Yingluo by the window.

After walking for a while, I heard the sound of horseshoes behind me.

In the carriage, Bai Yingluo couldn't help but lift her heart.

Along the way, the group experienced several accidents. Although they were all safe and sound in the end, seeds of uneasiness had already been planted in the hearts of Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo. Now, whenever there was a slight disturbance, both of them would get nervous.

Catch up with a group of escorts, heading for Chengdu Mansion.

When arriving at Chengdu Mansion, you will naturally pass through Jiading Mansion. Knowing that Du Xuan is also going in that direction, the lead escort Hu said enthusiastically: "Little brother, it is fate to meet. If this is the case, we might as well go together. Do you like it?" how?"

This sudden invitation made Du Xuan feel a little uneasy.

"I took my wife and children back home to visit relatives, and traveled to the mountains and rivers all the way, I'm afraid it will delay everyone's itinerary."

Du Xuan politely declined.

But the head of escort Hu didn't seem to understand the refusal in Du Xuan's words, and said with a hearty smile: "It's okay, although we are on business, but the time limit given by the client this time is long, and he specifically pointed out not to send it early. So, we can only walk slowly. I was worrying about how we would pass the time along the way, so we ran into you. It can be seen that it is God's arrangement. Together, you just pretend that we don't exist. Well, as for us, let’s follow along and look at the scenery along the way, so as not to drink or sleep, it’s really boring.”

It stuck on like a dog's skin plaster, and people couldn't shake it off.

In the carriage, Bai Yingluo muttered to Liusu in a low voice. Meanwhile, the three master and servant carefully inspected the items, and divided the scattered silver and the large-denominated banknotes on her body into six shares. , and gave it to Du Xuan and each of them to take a copy with them.

In this way, if there is any unexpected situation and get separated, they will not have no money to use.

And in the worst case, of course, being robbed by someone, maybe the robbers don't necessarily see someone who doesn't look like a rich man, so they might just let him slip through the net. In this way, the whole group won't be penniless .

After making a plan, they set off with that group of people. Although Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo were still a bit vigilant, they were not as flustered as they were when they first met.

All the way to Jiading mansion without incident.

It is already April.

In April, the peach blossoms of the mountain temple begin to bloom.

Thinking of Bai Yingluo's love for peach blossoms, and the first time the two met in the peach forest under the small mountain temple, everything related to peach blossoms is their good memory, Du Xuan secretly took care of it.

Taking advantage of the time when he went out to ask for directions, Du Xuan found out where there are peach blossoms, and went up the mountain with his wife and children.

The winding mountain road is very rugged, and maybe few people walk it, and it is almost difficult to walk. Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo took a lot of effort to climb the mountain. Looking at the peach grove behind them, the two were a little surprised surprise.

"Brother Yan, look, what is daddy holding in his hand?"

Holding Brother Yan, Bai Yingluo pointed to Du Xuan who was picking peach branches in the distance and said to him.

The little guy stretched out his hand excitedly, muttered for a long time, and yelled "Dede" vaguely, but Bai Yingluo knew what her son was shouting, her eyes were both surprised and happy, and she taught him word by word. : "Daddy, Daddy..."

"Daddy..."

Brother Yan was very clever, he called Du Xuan loudly, and opened his arms to him.

Du Xuan, who had been stunned for a long time, dropped the peach branch in his hand to the ground. Seeing Brother Yan pouted to look at the ground in disappointment, Du Xuan looked at Bai Yingluo hesitantly, "Luo Niang, Yan Did your brother call me?"

Casting a resentful sideways glance at him, Bai Yingluo said with some taste: "Other people's children always call their mother first, this heartless little guy..."

As she spoke, Bai Yingluo stretched out her hand and pinched her son's nose affectionately, but Brother Yan seemed to be demonstrating, calling out "Daddy" louder and louder. His crisp words hovered in the valley, attracting all the birds to fly together.

In front of his eyes are the enchanting and gorgeous peach blossoms, as well as the innocent and bright smiling faces of his wife and children, beside his ears are the gurgling water in the valley, the melodious birdsong, and the eager calling of his son. At this moment, Du Xuan's heart is filled with deep satisfaction.

"Luo Niang, even if this trip returns without success, this life is enough. With you, children, grandparents, Jing'an Hou Mansion, godfather and mother, and the whole family, for me, This is the greatest happiness."

Du Xuan stepped forward to hug Bai Yingluo and brother Yan emotionally and said.

Returning to the inn from the mountain, Hu Biaotou came to say goodbye, saying that he was going to leave for Chengdu Mansion.

Along the way, from the conflict at the beginning to the harmonious relationship at the end, although Hu Biaotou and his party were with Du Xuan and his party in the name of companionship, Du Xuan undoubtedly benefited the most.

During the more than one month's journey, there were several troubles and disasters that Hu Biaotou and his team blocked for Du Xuan overtly and covertly.

Du Xuan handed Brother Yan to Bai Yingluo, and solemnly bowed to Escort Hu, "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. When we meet in the capital someday, I will definitely invite Brother Hu to my house for a drink."

Hu Biaotou laughed heartily, and before leaving, he said to Du Xuan mysteriously: "I repaired your two carriages on my own initiative, so don't thank me too much. Remember your words , See you later in the capital, remember to invite our brothers to drink."

After finishing speaking, Escort Hu waved his hands, turned around and strode away.

The carriage was specially prepared by Jing'an Houfu for Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo. They were all made of solid heavy wood, even if a sword was slashed at it, it could withstand it for a while.

Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo went to the backyard and saw that there was nothing surprising. Lu Yao squinted his eyes and looked at it. He stepped forward and knocked casually with the handle of the knife, but there was a soft sound like iron.

In just half a day, they covered the two cars with iron sheets and reinforced the gaps. When the curtains were raised, they saw two doors that could be closed. In this way, if an enemy attacked, they could close the doors from the inside. , people outside absolutely have no way to catch the people and objects inside.

Such a group of people, who can believe that they are a team of escorts?
Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo's eyes were full of shock.

Starting again, Du Xuan sat in the carriage, looked at Bai Yingluo and said softly, "There are countless staff members in the Prince's Mansion, and there are even more skilled craftsmen. After thinking about it, it can only be the Prince's handwriting."

"Back then you kept begging for an audience, but the prince didn't see you, but now, you have spent so much effort to escort us here and prepare such a carriage. It's really a blessing from Yongquan."

Bai Yingluo nodded in response.

"Just wait until tomorrow..."

Unable to speak a thousand words, Du Xuan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the lush fields outside and sighed.

From the capital of Song Dynasty to Loulan, the shortest way is to pass through Ganzhou, but Du Xuan wanted to take a walk at the foot of Tianshan Mountain to see the place where Du Yuan grew up.

Just like Du Yuan went to Bangcheng that day.

In May, the two of them arrived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain. Although it was early summer, the weather here was a bit cold, and it was fine during the day. When the sun went down, they had to wear thick furs.

The green grass on the prairie is as tall as half a person. At a glance, it is really like the book said, the sky is blue and the wild is vast.

The children of the herdsmen are waving their whips to herd the sheep, and the loud and clear pastoral music is swimming between the heaven and the earth, which makes the hearts of those who see the scene in front of them very broad, and even Brother Yan looks at the scene before him without blinking. scenario.

The hospitable herdsman warmly brought out the food that Du Xuan and his party were reluctant to eat at home, but when they parted, they refused to accept the silver ingot that Bai Yingluo took out.

Seeing the little girl of the herdsman's family staring at the two goose-yellow bead flowers on Tassel's head, Bai Yingluo smiled and asked Tassel to go to the car to get a box of bead flowers of different colors and gave them to her. The silver hairpin on his head was stuck on the herdsman's aunt's head.

Amidst their reluctant farewell, Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo set off again.

"Cross the grassland, step across the Tianshan Mountains, and you will not be far from Loulan..."

Du Xuan took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Bai Yingluo and said, there was some inexplicable excitement in his eyes.
