The carriage staggered along the post road to the west.

Fu Tingyun was wrapped in a fur coat and didn't feel cold.

She asked Zheng Sanniang, who was sitting opposite him and breathing in fog, "Where have we been?"

Zheng Sanniang hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car and looked out.

Everything you see is whether the loess slope or the red earth mound.

"Brother Sanfu," she called Sanfu, who was riding a horse next to the carriage, "Where are we?"

Sanfu was wearing a fur coat, with a red face, turned around and laughed: "We can arrive at Yongjing before dark. After Yongjing, we will be Zhuanglang. In the next twenty days, we will arrive at Zhangye."

Because Fu Tingyun decided to go to Zhangye temporarily, although he hurriedly bought things, he suddenly had three adults and a child. Not to mention anything else, the dry food was to be purchased, and it was delayed for a day. They did not set off from Xi'an Prefecture on August 27th.

After leaving Xi'an Prefecture, there were refugees everywhere. Fortunately, they looked tall and strong, and Sanfu and Shizhu horse whip left blood marks when they whipped it up, which intimidated many people along the way, and they arrived in Mei County safely.

Or they think that the more west they go, the more desolate they will be. After passing Meixian, they no longer see refugees. Instead, large caravans pass by them from time to time.

Sanfu and the others were relieved without treating those unarmed refugees.

When Zheng Sanniang heard that Zhuang Lang was looking, she was happy when she heard this. She was about to turn around and report to Fu Tingyun. When Zhao Ling heard the movement, she rode her horse over.

"What's wrong?" he asked with concern, his eyes flashing across her face and looking into the car.

In fact, I couldn't see the scene in the carriage at all, but Zheng Sanniang subconsciously turned her body, as if Zhao Ling could see more clearly in this way.

"Where did Miss Fu ask?" She respectfully repeated Sanfu's words.

Zhao Ling nodded, asked no more questions, and said, "Tell Miss Fu to stop reading, be careful not to see her eyes badly." Then he rode his horse forward and ran to Yang Yucheng's side.

Zheng Sanniang looked at Zhao Ling's back, who was wearing only a blue cloth cotton robe, put down the curtain and said, "I would have liked it if the girl had heard of me at the beginning. Although the fox fur coat costs more than one hundred taels of silver, the color of the fur is pure and shiny. It looks like a good thing, and it is not a loss if you buy it. But you think it is expensive and you can't bear it. Now, Master Jiu gave the fur coat to you. He has not worn it, and he has a cotton coat all day..."

"Oh!" Fu Tingyun was even more worried, "I bought him three fur coats, but he was fine. He waved his hand. This was not needed, and that was not needed. He only brought one fur coat out." Although he said that, he thought that the cold wind outside was biting and he was injured before, and he didn't know if it was so quick. If he didn't want his fur coat, he threw it away and left. He couldn't help feeling weak and whispered, "Why did I think it would be so cold here! I heard that the silk in Jiangnan had to be sold to big food through Zhangye. Many people who do business have set up clubs there. I don't think of not even a fur coat. Then I'll find a way!"

That's all now.

Zheng Sanniang sighed in her heart. Thinking of the way, the loess and red soil were all the way, she was a little worried about what to do when she arrived in Zhangye. She asked Fu Tingyun in a low voice: "How big is the general flag? Is it the head-in-chief in the county government office? Or is the general flag big?"

The official document of Shaanxi Dusi said that Zhao Ling is the general flag, Yang Yucheng and Jin Yuanbao are both small flags, and Sanfu and Shizhu are ordinary military households. Asen was too young and was in trouble.

"I don't know either!" Fu Tingyun tucked her fur coat and said, "When I arrive in Zhangye, I'll know."

The two of them spoke and arrived in Yongjing County.

Before we got off the carriage, there were crowds of people coming from our ears. When we got off the carriage, there were caravans everywhere, the neighing of horses, the ringing of camels, and the shouting of loading and unloading goods. There were endless ears, big cannibals with yellow hair and green eyes, the return of white hats, and the merchants in fur coats... shoulder to shoulder, raising waves of yellow dust.

Fu Tingyun opened her eyes wide and looked around curiously, like a village girl who had first entered the city.

I saw a Huihui woman wearing a gold-edged veil in the crowd and couldn't help but stare at them.

Zhao Ling looked at it and showed a slight smile.

Asen shouted: "Didn't it mean that there are few people outside the pass, barren and desolate? Why are there so many people?"

Yang Yucheng and others looked at the people coming and going in front of them, and were also a little dazzled. Only Zhao Ling smiled calmly: "I don't expect the snow on the top of Qilian Mountains. Zhangye was wrongly recognized by Jiangnan. This place has been a key business road since ancient times. A large number of caravans have supported the people along the way, and it is not surprising that it is noisy." Then, "I have worked hard these days, so everyone has a good rest today." Then, then walked towards the largest inn.

Everyone stood on the street reluctantly and looked around for a while before they followed Zhao Ling into the inn.

They booked a relatively remote courtyard behind the inn. The guys diligently led the horses to the horse shed, brought tea, and fed hot water. Sanfu and the others were worried about the guys, so they moved the things in the car to the wing room where they lived. Zheng Sanniang served Fu Tingyun to wash, Zhao Ling and Yang Yucheng, Jin Yuanbao closed the door and talked in the room. Asen hugged Lin Chun at the door and looked at the strange-looking big cannibals and high-necked deep-necked return.

After a while, Zheng Sanniang found Ah Sen: "Miss Fu asked you to go back and wash quickly, and dinner will be available later."

Asen handed Linchun to Zheng Sanniang and ran back, washed up and went to Fu Tingyun's place.

Fu Tingyun was stying her hair in a veil. Seeing that he was still combing his horns, she shouted, "Go and wash your hair."

Asen doesn't like washing his hair, so he evades: "No one can help me wash it. I can't wash it alone."

Fu Tingyun stood up and said, "I'll call water and I'll wash it for you."

Seeing that Ah Sen could not escape, he ran away.

Fu Tingyun chased him out.

Asen hurriedly begged for mercy: "I'll go wash now, I'll go wash now!"

When Zhao Ling heard the movement, he opened the window. Yang Yucheng and Jin Yuanbao both looked into the yard. Seeing Fu Tingyun pulling Asen back, they both laughed.

"This monkey finally has a heads-up!" Jin Yuanbao said.

Yang Yucheng disagreed: "Miss Fu is too much of a care."

Zhao Ling and Jin Yuanbao smiled at him.

He suddenly blushed and said hurriedly: "Talk about things, talk about things."

When he first left Xi'an Prefecture, Fu Tingyun tactfully reminded Yang Yucheng not to pick his teeth on the dining table after dinner.

The two of them were afraid that Yang Yucheng would be angry and embarrassed, so they both followed his words and continued.

"Lu Cheng, the commander of Zhuanglangwei, was hereditary hundred households. In the 36th year of Pingxi, Meng You attacked. He served as the assistant commander of Zhuanglangwei. Following the Marquis of Yingchuan to recover Hami Wei, he was awarded the title of Hereditary Thousand Houses. In the 38th year of Pingxi, he was promoted to the commander of the commander of the capital." Jin Yuanbao said seriously, "That's all I can find out."

Yang Yucheng said "Wow": "When the Marquis of Yingchuan recovered the Hami Guard, he was promoted from a hundred hereditary households to a thousand households. Wouldn't the Marquis of Yingchuan who recovered the Hami Guard be rewarded more heavily?"

Jin Yuanbao looked at him coldly, and showed a contemptuous look of "it's more to say" without any concealment: "Marquis Yingchuan has two sons, one ten years old and the other four years old, who was named the commander-in-chief of the hereditary commander-in-chief, the third rank, and the four-year-old, who was named the commander-in-chief, the fourth rank!"

"Ah!" Yang Yucheng salivated, "These two boys are so lucky!" His eyes glowed.

Zhao Ling couldn't help laughing: "If you do it well, you may not be able to win a wife and a child."

"Justice Jiu is right." Yang Yucheng was very excited, "A real man cannot shine his family for a lifetime and can win his wife and children, which is a waste of one's life!"

Jin Yuanbao was too lazy to pay attention to him and said to Zhao Ling: "Jiu Master, this is not possible! What we know is also what everyone knows. We have to find a way to figure out Lu Cheng's personality, likes and dislikes, how many wives and concubines he has, which son he likes the most... and Marquis Yingchuan, we also need to inquire carefully."

"Yeah!" Zhao Ling nodded and said seriously, "Everything is planned, and no preparation will be abandoned. Since we are here, we cannot be confused." He said, pondering, "Yongjing County is only 40 or 50 miles away from Zhuanglangwei. If the people of Zhuanglangwei want to go to have fun, Yongjing County is the most prosperous place to them. They will definitely come to Yongjing County. We will rest here for two days, take this opportunity to find out about Lu Cheng first, and then stay in Zhangye for two days. After asking about the matter of Yingchuan Hou, it will not be too late to go to Gansu General Palace to report."

Jin Yuanbao nodded, and the two discussed some details. Sanfu came to knock on the door and said that the hot water was ready, and everyone dispersed.

Zhao Lingshu took a comfortable shower, and when she was sitting on the bed and wiping her hair with a veil, she suddenly thought of Fu Tingyun.

Don't know what she is doing now?

When the thoughts come true, I can't sit still.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath.

My mood is too boring now.

After he calmed down, he went to Fu Tingyun's house.

Asen had washed his head and sat in front of Fu Tingyun's kang with his hair. Fu Tingyun was about to tell him to recite "Thousand Family Poems".

"'The light moon and sparse stars surround Jianzhang', that is, the lanterns on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month are like the moon in the sky, surrounding the palace as brightly as the stars. 'The fairy wind blows down the incense of the imperial furnace', that is, the atmosphere in the palace is like a fairyland, with incense smoke lingering..."

The gentle voice made him smile slightly and gently push the door in.

When they heard the movement, the two of them looked in the voice and saw that it was Zhao Ling, they were both a little surprised.

Fu Tingyun stood up.

Asen hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zhao Ling smiled and touched Asen's head: "Are you memorizing the poem again?"

Asen nodded, his eyes widened, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Ling asked him.

Asen tilted his head: "There is only the smoke in the temple, why can it be lingering in the palace? If the fairyland is also lingering in the smoke, no wonder those women have to go to the temple to burn incense - the smoke in the cigarette, they will soon become immortals!" He said, giggling.

Fu Tingyun had some headaches.

This child always has many strange thoughts.

Zhao Ling laughed and said, "Of course, not all the places where the smoke lingers are in fairylands. However, this poem is called "Shangyuan Banquet", which is written by a minister to the emperor during the Lantern Festival. He has to flatter the emperor, so he has to associate everything with the gods in the sky. That is to say, the emperor is like a god, do you understand?"

Asen nodded repeatedly.

Is there anyone who teaches children like this?

No wonder Asen became like this.

Fu Tingyun was unhappy and said, "Master Jiu, your steps are so light. I didn't even notice it when I came in, and I was shocked."

Tip why he didn't knock on the door when he entered.

"Is that right?" Zhao Ling smiled casually, "Then I'll pay attention to it later." Then he sat next to Fu Tingyun and asked Asen: "How many poems have you learned from Miss Fu these days?"
