PS: everyone's love has regrets and satisfaction. This chapter writes two kinds of feelings... I have some feelings in my heart. Well, what I want to say is, let's have a monthly ticket.
The clear sky is thousands of miles away, just like washed by water. The air in early spring is cool, and it seems that there is a faint smell of the sea from the East. Maybe it's just an illusion, but the wind is really refreshing. So Fang Xie was a little sorry, but he couldn't go to the seaside.
However, in early spring, people can't go to the sea. The sea is too cold. Even people living by the sea won't take risks. Once they cramp in the water, they will die.
The window of the carriage lifted up, and the view was panoramic.
"How far is it to shengfangting ancient town?"
Asked the foam curd.
After calculating the distance, Fang Xie replied, "at this speed, we can get to Shengfang Pavilion tomorrow night at the latest“
"Oh"
The foam congealed with fat. It seemed a little lost.
"What's the matter?"
Fang Xie asked.
Mo Ningzhi looked up at him. The taste in his eyes confused Fang Xie. This is the look Mo Ningzhi has never seen before. It seems very familiar, but Fang Xie just can't remember how to be familiar. When she was in Chang'an City, Mo Ningzhi looked at him with charming eyes. When she met later, Mo Ningzhi looked at him with cold eyes. This kind of eyes appeared in her for the first time In his eyes, if Fang Xie was smart enough about men and women, he would have understood it long ago, but he had been a little confused about this kind of thing.
"Nothing"
Mo Congzhi took a breath, and then recovered his peace: "I'm just thinking that now the people around you are not here, only you and me are alone. Should I kill you or not? It's natural to kill you. I can't think of a reason for not killing you... For the time being."
Fang Xie was stunned, and then smiled: "then think slowly. It's best not to think of it all your life."
"What are you talking about?"
Foam congealed fat's eyes suddenly lit up, and Fang Xie still didn't feel the change in her mood.
"Let you think slowly."
He said.
"Back."
Foam curd said.
"Want to live forever?"
Fang Xie recalled his words and said.
I don't know why, Mo Congzhi's face suddenly turned red. Don't turn your head and don't look at Fang Xie. Although Fang Xie could see clearly, she didn't know what she thought. So Fang Xie couldn't help sighing in her heart and said that a woman's mind was indeed the most difficult thing to guess in the world.
He is now a famous figure in the great Sui Dynasty. Almost all the intrigues in the world can no longer hide him. He has changed from the young man walking at the foot of the mountain to a vassal standing on the hillside. He can easily see through all the conspiracies and tricks of his opponents, but he can't see through the hearts of women.
"I'm tired"
Mo Congzhi said three words faintly, then closed her eyes and leaned against the carriage to rest. Fang Xie was silent for a while, reached out to put down the curtain of the carriage, and then pulled the brocade over and gently covered her. Fang Xie knew she didn't fall asleep so soon, but she didn't open her eyes all the time.
Fang Xie rubbed his nose, turned and sat reading.
Mo Ningzhi carefully pulled the brocade up to block her face. Under the corner, a peach blossom quietly floated on the face that looked like an immortal, and the smile secretly outlined on the corner of her mouth was a little shy. If Fang Xie saw her expression at this time, she might understand her thoughts, but she was also proud, so she didn't want to expose even if she had some small satisfaction in her heart.
These two people are so tired.

The speed of the procession was not very fast. The scouts in front had arranged accommodation in a small village called Yao'an. They found a decent looking family and paid enough money to rent the whole backyard of the family. Although they only stayed for one night, because they gave enough money, the family was very kind and helped Xiao The riders cleaned the back yard.
"Sir, your clothes don't look like those of the local government. Where are you from?"
After making a small fortune in business, he returned to the village and bought a large piece of land for the elderly. The owner of the house is a man in his fifties. Although he has lived a carefree life for several years, he still has the traces of hardship when he ran away from life. This struggle remains on the man's face like a knife, axe and chisel. The older he is, the more obvious it is.
"Central Plains"
The leader of the Xiaoqi school gave a faint answer without saying anything more. The old man stopped asking when he saw that the other party didn't want to reveal anything. He had been in business, so he knew how terrible it was to be curious.
"There are still some new bedding at home. If I don't dislike it, I'll bring it over."
He asked tentatively.
"No"
The hundred households shook their heads: "everything is our own. Don't worry about it. If there's nothing wrong, go back and have a rest. We'll clean the yard ourselves."
The old man nodded quickly, turned and left quickly.
"Old man, who are those people?"
The timid old woman dragged him over and asked in a low voice, "just for those silver, I dare to bring them in. Who knows who lives in? What if it's a bandit?"
"Don't you believe my eyesight?"
The old man smiled proudly: "At the beginning, I was a man who had done big business and was the best judge of people. These people had a cold air on them. They knew they were from the military. Moreover, they were not ordinary troops, but must be a soldier who had experienced many battles. Their royal clothes looked like the style of the bodyguard office in Chang'an City, but they had seen it in the past and were blurred... So Don't worry. It won't be a robber, but a member of the public. If we are lucky, we will entertain a big man and have a future for our son. "
He sighed: "I didn't have a way to become a businessman at first. Although I became rich later, I was not looked down upon after returning to the village? Even if my family was rich, how could I let my son run away to live? Although the Sui Dynasty is chaotic now, Dongjiang is not peaceful. Our son is smart and sensible. When the big man comes back, you ask him to go around the backyard in case of trouble Well, luck will come. "
"As much as you think."
The old woman quickly turned back and looked at her son sitting in the yard reading: "Dingbei, come here and listen to your father explain something to you!"
It seems that the 16-year-old young man happily agreed. When facing his parents, his eyes are full of bright smiles. Although the young man is not outstanding, he is better than a clean face, clean eyes and clean smile.
The old man called his son and told him in a low voice for a long time. The old woman sat aside to pick up her sewing work and looked at the only son born in middle age. Her eyes were full of love.
"Let you go to a private school. You say the private school teacher is too old-fashioned. Let you go to the county school. You say the professor of the county school is too stiff."
The old man seemed to be a little dissatisfied. The tone was not his original intention. The love in his eyes had already betrayed his heart.
"You can't take the country examination without status, so it's too difficult to get a reputation. I wanted to take out all my savings and donate an official to you in the county city, but you know how many people richer than our family are staring at the vacant seats. The county magistrate looks at money rather than people. If our family can take out no one else, you can't get in."
The young man smiled and said, "don't worry, father. I have my own plan."
"What are you going to do?"
Asked the old man.
"Now the eastern Xinjiang is peaceful, but the Central Plains is in chaos."
Speaking of these, the young man's eyes gradually brightened up: "Even if the provincial examination is successful, I just have a disgraceful identity. If I can't be promoted, I can't even plant the land. Don't starve to death? So I don't want to enter the county school, and I don't want to go to the provincial examination. I've figured out... Mu Fu will send troops to the Central Plains sooner or later. I'll sign up for joining the army in a while. Although my bones are not strong, my words are beautiful enough. Then If Mu mansion is conscripted, it will need many clerks such as secretaries. I am confident that I can be elected. "
He raised his head and looked at the eagle flying in the sky: "although I don't know martial arts and can't practice, I want to be a great general, just like Li Xiao, a Confucian general in the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Sui Dynasty, who made great achievements!"
"You child, think all day!"
The old man glared at him: "Join the army? You are doomed to death! I tell you, you are not allowed to join the army even if Mufu really recruits. If you can't, you can pick up my old business and go into business. When I was doing business, I had a good personal relationship with the shopkeeper in Dengping City, Central Plains. I will take you to join me at that time. I will have no worries for at least one life in the business, which is far better than your Confucian general Indeed! "
"Father, you can't be so short-sighted."
The young man argued in a low voice.
"I'm short-sighted?"
The old man raised his hand to fight, but finally he was reluctant to give up: "I tell you, your father also saw the world at the beginning. What's the use of reading? Have you ever seen an official as big as the Marquis? When I was in Dengping City, I saw the San Jin Hou with goods flowing down the sky! That's a famous man all over the world. Now I can still remember his appearance."
"The Marquis is not an official position, but a title..."
The young man whispered, then smiled and avoided his father's second hand.
"It's nothing to do business."
The old woman sitting on the side smiled and said, "if your father hadn't been able to do business, our life would be as good as now? Although people say that scholars, farmers, businessmen and businessmen have the most humble status, we have meat at once and new clothes every year, isn't that enough?"
"How dare I say good in business?"
The old man said, "the bulk gold waiting for goods to go down is... Bulk gold waiting?"
His words suddenly stopped, and his mouth opened so wide that he could easily insert an egg. His eyes looked at the door, and the expression on his face was incredible.
Outside the door, a little donkey reluctantly stopped. A middle-aged man in cloth jumped off the donkey's back, hugged the old man, and said kindly, "brother, I'm really tired passing here. Can I borrow it for one night? I can pay you silver."
The old man rubbed his eyes hard and murmured, "it's like... But it's certainly not. How can san jinhou appear at my door on a broken donkey? I still remember his extravagance now..."
……
……
entrance to a village
A farmer pushed a one wheeled car to stop. On the car sat a beautiful young woman. The farmer raised his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead, pointed to the village and said, "madam, why don't you live here tonight?"
The young woman glanced at the farmer with silky eyes and said shyly, "you are the head of the family. Just make up your mind. Have a rest. You don't know how to pity people. I'm so uncomfortable after tossing in the woods. Now my legs are still sour and weak."
The farmer smiled proudly and said in a low voice, "we're strong!"
The young woman gave him a white look, and there was spring water in her eyes.
It seems that this couple is as normal as a husband sending his wife back to his mother's house. This one wheeled car is also the most common. Every family in the village has it.
"Eh"
The farmer suddenly saw a man riding a donkey entering the village on the other side of the village. He couldn't help laughing: "we can only live outside the village tonight. Fortunately, we brought some thick clothes. When Lord Hou entered the village, we will watch outside and take care of everything inside and outside."
The young woman gave a sound, and her face gradually became dignified.
"It doesn't seem easy to deal with. The Marquis has arrived..."
She shook her head after being silent for a while: "old-fashioned, tell me, what is the most proud thing in your life?"
"Married you!"
The old farmer nodded hard, "so no matter how hard it is to deal with tonight, I will die in front of you. Don't be afraid, I will fall at your feet, and you won't hurt if you fall again."
"Idiot, do you know it hurts when you die?"
"Then I won't let you fall!"
The young woman smiled and her eyes were bright: "old fashioned, do you know what I am most proud of in my life?"
"What?"
"Marry you!"
