The reborn sycophant

Because they are family members of officials, along the way, Wei Chuyan and his party mostly stayed at the post station, but occasionally they stayed in the wilderness for several days in a row, so they also prepared tents.When staying in the wild, the servants will work harder. They have to take turns to watch the night to ensure the safety of Wei Chuyan.

A few servants were ordered to investigate the situation, and the others started pitching tents one by one, and the fire was quickly set up. Under the gradually approaching twilight, the flames burned silently, like floating in a black river. flower.

The weather is not cold, and the fire is used for cooking and to frighten wild animals.The first banquet took Mo Mei to sit down under a palm tree far from the fire, and the busy servants piled up some luggage around the tent with ease, hoping to play a role in dividing the territory.

It is said that they are servants, but these people who can be assigned to escort Wei Chuyan to Yulin are almost all carefully trained guards of Weifu. .

Several teams came over one after another, and at night, many people had gathered in the field on both sides of the official road, showing the large number of merchants.Of course, it's not all businessmen here.There are also students who go out to study like Wei Chuyan, and there are also people who travel far, visit friends or go home.

Most of these people are from well-to-do families, and they are always accompanied by one or two servants or book boys.

After the number of people increased, this wild land seemed not enough. There was a lot of noise in the front, and there had probably been a few minor conflicts. , the gate of Hongshui City has been closed, even the relatives of the emperor have to wait for the gate to open tomorrow.

The quarrel over there did not affect Wei Chuyan and them, but the servants occupied a large area, and this place was already a bit conspicuous. There were several people who sneaked up to look at it, and every time they saw that they were chained to the outside. The dozen or so horses shrank their necks knowingly and left.

However, the silence didn't last long. Not long after dinner, a noisy team of carriages and horses came.

Yuemo is also a powerful family. Although the leading man looks like he is in charge, he is wearing a satin robe and looks very calm.Seeing so many people gathered in this field, he commanded the team to stop and calmly inquired about the news.Afterwards, the team stopped at the same spot for about a quarter of an hour. Several figures rode horses back and forth quickly along the official road. Wei Chuyan guessed that they were probably looking to see if there was any camp ahead.

Wei Chuyan also knew that there was no empty space in front, but they were all occupied. This place was very close to Hongshui City, and it took less than half a quarter of an hour to walk there, so the front was definitely blocked.There are a lot of people in this team, if you want to find a place to rest, you probably have to look back.

Turn back and turn over the mountain, and after walking for more than ten miles, there is an open space beside the road.

But... people in Qi have taboos about going on the road, if they don't turn back, they don't turn back. Wei Chuyan guessed that this group of people would not turn around.

If you don't turn around, then...

The corner of Wei Chuyan's lips twitched, and he looked over there with great interest.

Sure enough, not long after, a few men and women walked over there, all of whom seemed to be Lord Qianyang, and one of them was the steward that Wei Chuyan had just seen.They probably wanted to negotiate, but they still hesitated when they saw the horses clearly reflected by the bonfire at first sight.

Probably after some struggle, when the leader made up his mind, he still brought people over, but before he could pass the place where the luggage was piled up, several guards around the first banquet stood up holding their knives.Probably did not expect the reaction of the people here to be so excited, and they immediately wanted to draw their knives, but the other party stopped, and began to hesitate whether to go forward again.

In the end it was decided not to go forward.

Across the luggage, the steward cupped his hands and made a bow to this side, his posture was really low, as expected, he wanted something from her.

"Go, ask them where they came from."

Wei Chuyan ordered.

A person walked out from Chuyan's side, and went over to chat with the steward for a while.

"Miss, you are from the Wan family in Yulin. There is a document with the private seal of Mr. Wan. It cannot be wrong."

Wanjia?

Isn't it the mother's family of Concubine Wan Gui?

"They want to borrow land?"

"Exactly, I said I wanted to borrow a place to rest for a night. Miss, do we want to borrow it?"

Going to Yulin now, Wei Chuyan will inevitably establish a good relationship with Master Wan, and now a good opportunity is in front of him, Chuyan is not a pedantic person, so he naturally nodded in agreement: "Pack up your luggage, and lead the horses too. Come here and draw a bigger space for them. Since you have decided to borrow it, be more generous, we will set up two less tents here tonight, and let them squeeze each other. Thank you for your hard work."

She pointed to a few places and gestured for a while, then shared her thoughts with the boys.Xiao Lin, who had just gone to talk to Wan's family, hurried over to convey the meaning of Wei Chuyan. The steward was really grateful, made a bow to this side from a distance, and quickly led the people to tidy up the vacant space that had been marked out. .

Various voices followed.

The neighing of mules and horses, the sound of people carrying luggage, the crackling and crackling of the fire when it was just burning, the shouting of the stewards... occasionally mixed with one or two laughter like silver bells, the laughter is unique to girls innocent.

Above is the quiet night sky, surrounded by noisy, but also flowing human fireworks.Looking at the busy scene at the first banquet, she felt strangely relaxed, and she smiled faintly.

With this beautiful and elegant smile like an epiphyllum blooming, a girl who had just got off the carriage stood there in a daze, looking at her without blinking.

It's different from the hustle and bustle on my side.In the small space separated by itself there are starlight, moonlight, and warm orange firelight... Beside the bonfire, the girl in white sat quietly, and time seemed to stand still around her.

The fire was beating, she was laughing, she was obviously moving, but everything seemed to be still beautifully.

With uncontrollable steps, she walked towards the girl.Then... was stopped by the girl's followers.

A few people over there saw the girl being stopped, and ran towards this side very nervously. They also had knives on their bodies. It seemed that if there was anything wrong with the girl, they would immediately fight desperately.

Seeing their nervousness, Wei Chuyan guessed that this young girl should be the leader of this team. Judging from her age, she must be one of Master Wan's daughters, right?

Probably yes, looking closer, her face is somewhat similar to Zhao Ji.Although Concubine Wan Gui is not Zhao Ji's biological mother, she is Zhao Ji's aunt. Similarly, Zhao Ji is also related to the Wan family by blood, so if this person is really Master Wan's daughter, she should be a cousin of Zhao Ji.

This involves a "love affair" of Emperor Wen.Back then, Emperor Wen actually made Zhao Ji's biological mother a virtuous concubine first, and then called Zhao Ji's biological mother's younger sister into the palace, who is now Wan Guifei.

Sisters working together will attract rumors among the people, but in the emperor's house, it will become a good story.

Later Concubine Xian died of illness, and Concubine Wan Gui had no children under her knees, so His Majesty asked Zhao Ji to be raised under the name of Concubine Wan Gui, and asked Zhao Ji to call her concubine mother.One is for Concubine Wan Gui to rely on more, and the other is for Zhao Ji not to be uneducated.

"It's deeper and the dew is heavier. Do you want to warm up?"

Perhaps it was because of the rare brisk mood at this moment, and perhaps because that face looked a bit like that person, Wei Chuyan opened his mouth to invite for the first time, and Mo Mei beside him opened his eyes wide first, as if he didn't believe it was this person. My own lady.

shame!Wei Chuyan patted her on the head.

When the girl came over, Mo Mei had a rare cleverness, and spread a thick cloth for her to sit down conveniently.

After chatting for a while, Wei Chuyan learned that the girl's name was Wan Qingyuan. As she had guessed, she was the daughter of Lord Wan Zhaohua Wan. She was originally praying for the Buddha for her family in Yancheng, which was tens of miles away from here. Aunt Zhi came back to her hometown to visit her relatives, so she hurried back.

If the hour is missed, even if her father is the sheriff of Zhuri County, no one would dare to open the city gate for her, so she has to stay here for one night.

The first banquet also told her about her background, knowing that she was from Yu Nanwei's family, Wan Qingyuan was a little surprised at first, but then became intimate again, talking to her enthusiastically.

It's just that occasionally there is a trace of pity in the eyes.

It seems that her "good reputation" as a "trash" has spread to Zhuri County, Wei Chuyan smiled wryly in his heart, pretending that he couldn't see it, and chatted with Wan Qingyuan with a smile.She could see that this Miss Wan was well protected, pure and innocent, and well-bred, and she was well-mannered when she spoke and acted.

Wei Chuyan read a lot of poetry and books, besides famous masterpieces, she actually read some wild books in a random way, and there were some interesting stories in her belly. She picked up some things that little girls would like and told them to Wan Qingyuan, not just Wan Qingyuan. Qing Yuan and Mo Mei were also listening intently.

No matter how young she is in this life, she still regards herself as an adult in her heart. Looking at this girl who looks somewhat similar to Zhao Ji at this time, she feels close to her, and she naturally regards her as an adult. She went to see it as a little sister.

Telling her a story is done with such a mood.

However, some emotions couldn't be suppressed. When she talked with Wan Qingyuan, she couldn't help staring at Wan Qingyuan's face.

That person was not there, so she had to look for the shadow of that person in others.

Chat for comfort.

. . . no consolation.

The evening wind gradually picked up, and the sound of cicadas rang out more and more clearly. Wei Chuyan stretched out his hand to rub Wan Qingyuan's hair, suddenly there was a sense of loneliness that Wan Qingyuan didn't understand.

For a moment, Wan Qingyuan felt that the first banquet seemed to be looking at another person through her.

Wei Chuyan didn't know Wan Qingyuan was so sensitive, she put down her hand, took a deep breath, knowing that she should say goodbye to the past.

Know.But not willing.

Something stuck in her throat, and she really wanted to vent. It happened that there was a singing sound coming from the camp on the other side, and she thought it was a girl from some family playing.After listening to the first banquet for a while, she said to Wan Qingyuan, "Let me sing you a song."

People at that time valued literature and loved elegance. Officials and nobles often listened to some ditties, wrote a few poems, and sometimes sang two songs in person.

In his previous life, Wei Chuyan was also quite good at rhythm.

Randomly smoked two sticks of wood in the fire, Wei Chuyan cleared his throat, hit the sticks with each other, beat the beat, and found the tune.For a moment, accompanied by the crisp beating sound, the melodious and ethereal singing sounded in the night.

"Qingqing——Zijin, relax my heart...indulge me..."

As soon as the beginning started, Wan Qingyuan recognized that this was "Zi Jin", a song for women who miss their lovers.

The rhythm is established, and the musicians at home have sung it to her, but for some reason, the same song, sung by the first-time sister, has a kind of endless sadness in it, as if she has experienced this same song in her own life. Zheng Nu missed the same.

Probably because of her talent, or because the music is too beautiful, she has such a real sense of substitution.Wei Chuyan... She has actually heard of this person before. She is 12 years old and has not yet been differentiated. She is also the first one in Xungui's family. Everyone knows her... How did she experience feelings?

That should just be my own illusion.

Analyzing it carefully, although she seemed to be very reasonable, Wan Qingyuan still had a sour taste in her heart.

At this time, the first banquet was sung, the wooden knot in the hand changed the tune, and the libretto changed accordingly, and became "Cai Ge".

"He Caige, if you don't see each other in a day, it's like March... If you don't see me in a day, it's like three autumns... If you don't see me in a day, it's like three years old."

Not seeing each other for a day, like three years old...

The poem is a short poem, sung very slowly, the rhythm is very beautiful, and the singing voice is as clear and gentle as Wan Qingyuan has ever seen in her life, but... it seems that there is still a faint sadness in it.

Wei Chuyan continued to sing.

Not seeing each other for a day, like three years old...

From rebirth to now... how many days have it been...

How many three-year-olds are there?

It's time for her to let go.

After the song was sung, the sound of the percussion began to weaken. Wan Qingyuan turned her head to look, and saw a girl in a pure white skirt sitting there. Fragile, the moonlight floated around her, showing a kind of loneliness and desolation, making her look like a fragile lotus flower.

I don't know why she is so sad, Wan Qingyuan felt that she was also feeling uncomfortable with her, she wanted to comfort the first banquet, but she didn't say a word, and saw a little strength in her eyes, and then, the feeling of fragility disappeared from her body Instead, it was replaced by the gentle smile from before.

That scene just now...was it an illusion?

The author has something to say: Stop thinking about it, Mr. Wei, your milk is on the way, want to let go?nonexistent.
