The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 219 Don't Say Something?
Thinking about it and moving it, the next morning, I wrote a booklet to invite Your Majesty, and please leave Beijing to go to the target county for inspection, Your Majesty will read it.

I wanted to leave on the same day, but there were some small news from the Red Pavilion, and it was already past noon to solve it briefly.

The road to Target County is far away, and it took a while to come back when I went out this time. I remembered that I hadn’t been to the old prince Rong for a long time, so I ordered Luzhu and others to make preparations first, and then put on a brocade poncho, and walked to Rong Rong through the alley. palace.

This old prince is in good spirits, drinking tea and playing with birds in the house, when he sees me, he drags me to the side room to play chess as usual, one game after another, he is very happy.

I won't say much about his chess skills, either sending the chess pieces to Xiangyan, or overpowering the horse's legs. Several times I couldn't even handicap the chess, but he still thought he was the best of the best. Let me praise him while playing.

I boasted very unconscionably, he smiled happily...

After finally playing a game of chess, I quickly found an excuse to get out. He knew that I was going to Target County, and he was very happy. He said that there is a kind of rice wine in Target County that is very good. He has always wanted to try it, but he has no chance. I will definitely bring him some altars back.

He looked quite like a child, so I naturally nodded in response.

It was getting late when he came out of the old prince Rong's mansion. He wanted to go to the general's mansion to see the old housekeeper, but after thinking about it, he didn't go.

Back at the princess mansion, Luzhu has already prepared dinner. After I used it, I called my mother-in-law to ask for hot water, and took a warm flower bath. The fatigue of many days seemed to have dissipated a lot.

It was almost Xu time, and I really didn't feel sleepy at all, so I turned on the wick and looked for a thick book to read. After reading a few pages, I felt unable to calm down again.

The cold pool warm jade on my wrist exudes a trace of moist warmth, I raised my wrist, and gently stroked the smooth surface of the bracelet.

I don't know what Xuanyuan Chen is doing, at this moment, he probably doesn't feel sleepy...

The target county is very close to Zhonglu, and his affairs there are almost finished...

I was in a daze for a while, and then I suddenly remembered something.

Before returning from the frontier, Su Huo gave me a kit and a leopard engraving, and told me to open it when I was in trouble.

The situation where the two kings seized the heir has passed, and now, there is nothing too embarrassing.Thinking about the rumors about Su Huo, Your Majesty, and the soldier talisman in Beijing, I became curious...

Could it be that the rumor...

I thought about it, and finally found the kit, slowly opened it, and a note slipped out of it.

Abbot Fayuan of Qingchan Temple.

Dharma fate, isn't it the great monk who has been giving lectures to the old lady all these years...

Su Huo asked me to go to the Qingchan Temple when I was in trouble. Could it be that he wanted him to enlighten me? Then what is the meaning of this leopard moment...

After thinking about it for a long time, I became more and more confused, so I put the note on the candle and lit it, engraved the leopard in the kit, and hid it behind a few thick books.

I folded the notes that Xuanyuan Chen left for me neatly according to size, and also put them behind the bookshelf.

On the other side of my eyes, I opened the red lacquered wooden box I retrieved from Suho's study under the bookshelf, unlocked it, and took out the leather map inside.

This thing is so detailed that it doesn't even look good. What is it for...

The so-called great hermit lives in the city, and there are many capable people and strangers among the people. This time I go to the county, I will find a way to find someone to think about it, maybe there will be unexpected surprises...

I put away the leather ball and the jade pendant with me, looked through the picture album again, and then fell asleep in my clothes.

This may be because I thought too much before going to bed, and I had a lot of dreams this night.

First I dreamed of mountains, then I dreamed of many people I knew or didn't know, and finally, I dreamed of Su Qingmu's mother, Luo'er.

She stands on the top of a lush mountain range, the wind blows her flying hair, fluttering the corners of her skirt, looking back with a sweet smile, a hundred flowers bloom...

I seemed to wake up for a while, and then fell asleep again, and I dreamed about my father again.

My father was wearing a court dress, with a crown on his head and two Ushas, ​​and he opened his arms to me in a piece of tender grass.

"Luan'er, come here..." He smiled.

I rushed over like crazy, and suddenly there was a thick fog in front of me, and there was nothingness in my eyes...

"Father, father..."

I shouted anxiously to chase, the green grass around me suddenly changed color, and red liquid seeped out from the ground, in just a moment, the ground turned into a sea of ​​red.

The Red Sea was rising rapidly, and soon reached my waist height. I wanted to run, but many withered hands came out of the Red Sea, and one of them grabbed my arm fiercely and dragged it down as hard as I could.

"Don't!" I was startled and wanted to break free, but was grabbed by more withered hands.

Struggling, kicking, and trying my best to escape, I finally sank into the red sea powerlessly.

"Ah!" My heart felt so oppressed that it was about to explode, I kicked hard, opened my eyes to see, it was still pitch black outside the window, maybe it wasn't time to be ugly yet.

I got up and poured a cup of tea, and it was a little better.

Father, I haven't fallen asleep for a long time, are you strange that Luan'er hasn't avenged you yet?

Father, mother, little sister, you are waiting, soon, soon...

I sighed a little, turned around and wanted to take the glazed ball over, but I found that there was a furry thing lying beside the small ball.

Two little brocade raccoons, one inside the ball and one outside the ball, have already fallen asleep.

I walked over slowly, gently took the running one in my hand, the little thing woke up suddenly, and stared at me with big blue eyes.

I thought it would be running again, but it just looked at me for a while, then closed its eyes, nestled in my hands and fell asleep again.

Little thing, aren't you afraid of me...

I smiled slightly, carefully put it back on the bookshelf, turned and walked back to the couch, when I opened my eyes, Lvzhu was already waiting beside me.

It was said that it was an inspection, and it would be inappropriate to have too much ostentation, so he only brought seven or eight people with him, packed his bags and set off.

Shengjing is very far away from the target county, and it takes ten days to travel both day and night. In winter, the snow is heavy, and it is not easy to travel. To the boundary of the target county.

"Miss, in a few hours, we will arrive at the target county. Miss, look quickly, there are a few trees with purple leaves growing there." Lu Zhu raised the curtain and looked around, her face was very happy.

It's been half a month since this girl went out for the first time, and she still likes everything she sees.

I followed her gaze and said, "That's pine sandalwood, just like pines and cypresses, it looks like this in all seasons."

"Oh, that's it." Lu nodded, put down the curtain and began to peel the dried fruit on the plate, and when she finished peeling a few, she handed it over and said, "Miss, it's been a day today, and I don't see anything to eat, let's eat some dried fruit." .”

I responded, twisted one and put it in my mouth. I chewed it twice when the carriage suddenly stopped.

"How did you drive? Why did you still stop? What if you fall down, miss!?" Luzhu frowned, and said a word in displeasure.

"What's going on outside?" I sat up straight again.

"Miss Hui, there is a big hole in the middle of the road. It was hidden under the snow and I didn't find it. The wheels got stuck in the snow. Don't worry, miss, the wheels are not sunk deep, and we can leave immediately." Donghu explained outside.

"It's okay, take your time."

Donghu responded, and after a short while, the car moved slowly again, but it didn't move for a long time, the car slammed hard, and almost threw me out again.

This time Luzhu was in a hurry, she got out of the carriage directly, and said angrily, "Will you watch the road? How do you drive? After a while, I feel dizzy!"

Donghu has an honest temper, and immediately whispered, "There is really no way, this road is like this, and I have carefully detoured, but some potholes are hidden in the snow, so I can't see clearly! "

"Hmph, if you can't see clearly, you have to look carefully." Luzhu snorted, the anger in her tone was obviously a little less than before.

I smiled slightly, and got out through the car curtain. When I looked forward, I was quite surprised.

Looking around, there is a patch of potholes ahead, large and small pits are connected together, just like a sieve.

The road we are traveling is the official road between the two cities.

Every three years, Xiqi will allocate a large amount of money to rebuild the official roads of the city.

If I remember correctly, in the early spring of this year, a batch of money was allocated from the national treasury for state and county repairs. How could the official roads in this county be so potholed.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, jumped out of the carriage, and looked carefully at the potholes on the ground.These potholes are very deep, the soil layer is already a little crisp, and the turquoise layer that was originally paved on the road has long since worn away and changed its color.

This road has not been repaired for at least five years!
This is the official way!The money has been allocated, but the official road has not been cultivated. The courage of the city master of the target county is really too great!

It is a major event that the official road has not been cultivated. How come there is no one handing over the Wanmin Letter?Could it be that there is something tricky in it...

"Miss, it's cold outside, go back to the carriage quickly, don't catch a cold." Lu Zhu approached him at some point, and put a thick brocade cloth on her body.

The road is full of potholes, and the carriage will be loaded into the pit again after only a few steps, so it's better not to sit on it.

It's not too far from the target county, so it's okay to walk around.

I turned around and asked a few words, and then I went on my way.

The more we walked forward, the more potholes the road became. After walking for half an hour, I felt a little uncomfortable to walk. Fortunately, I walked forward for a while, and there was a stepped dirt road beside the official road.

The dirt road is more than one meter wide, and it is much smoother than the official road. We walked along the dirt road, and after a while, the carriage behind us also caught up. It happened to be a little cold, so we got into the carriage again.

"Miss, warm your hands." Luzhu handed over the red sandalwood hand warmer. I have warm jade on my wrist, but it is not cold, so she poured warm ginger tea for me.

It was just after drinking a cup that suddenly there were several shouts from outside the carriage, "Hey, hello! The carriage in front, stop!"

I picked up the curtain to look, and there was a roadblock more than ten meters ahead, with more than [-] tough men standing beside it.

These people wore orthodox military uniforms and held weapons in their hands. They were very arrogant.

"Hey, hey! What about you guys, stop the car." The leader with the folding stick pointed impatiently.

We were all changed at this time, we were wearing ordinary clothes, and I ordered to keep a low profile, so Donghu stopped the car and asked with a smile, "This official, is there something wrong?"

The man snorted, and tapped a wooden board beside him with the folding stick in his hand, "Look here, look here! It's clearly written."

I looked sideways, and saw that the board was written with vermilion lacquer: "Three yuan for pedestrians, five yuan for carriages and horses, and goods are calculated separately."

This……

Seeing Donghu's puzzled expression, the man snorted again, "I don't understand this, which means that pedestrians passing by will have to pay three silver coins each, and horses and horses five coins. You have one car, six people. A total of 23 yuan was worthless."

Donghu thought for a while and asked, "Excuse me, this official, what kind of fee do we pay?"

"What is the fee?" The man laughed.He looked Donghu up and down, "Have you come from a long way? You don't seem to understand anything..."

"Please explain clearly." Donghu cupped his hands.

The man nodded, "Did you come from this road?"

Donghu nodded.

He smiled and pointed to his feet, "This road is not an official road. It was built by the people in the city with painstaking efforts. It took two years to repair the road in spring, summer, autumn and winter. You have taken this road, don't you? Don't you want to thank the people who built the road? If you are grateful, why don't you show it?"
