Yucuo of the Red Chamber

"Yu'er, are you tired?" Inside the phoenix chariot, the Buddha pulled Daiyu's cloak, held her hand, and asked softly.

"Fortunately, after these few days, I've gotten used to it. Why don't you take the water route? It's much faster that way. Besides, it's such a big turn." Daiyu leaned into his arms and asked softly.But I already guessed in my heart that although the waterway is fast, the boat is such a big place, and there is nowhere to go if I want to rest or play in the middle.Stop and go overland, although slow, but comfortable, and see a lot.Of course, since we were going to Qi Wen's house, it was too late to arrive in Gusu before the Ghost Festival, so we might as well take it easy.

"Turn around the corner and throw those who are following you." Foye put his head on top of her and said with a smile, "We can walk by water when we come back. It's cold at that time, and it's cold even sitting in the car. And... I've never been on a boat, so I don't know what it's like."

"Well, then let's take the boat when we come back. By the way..." Daiyu raised her head curiously, was pecked by him, touched his face and asked with a smile, "I never asked your parents, it is the Buddha you said Father, Buddha, mother, are they okay now? We... can't go to the Buddha's country, but can we take them out? Do you miss them?"

Buddha put her hands together carefully, nodded her nose and said with a smile: "Don't always stretch out your hands if you are afraid of the cold. My parents are fine, and someone should take care of them. But I have already sat down now, even ... Lazang Khan kept saying that I was a fake, so some things were different. But the Buddha will bless them, everything will be fine, so there is no need to pick them up. If people know that I am still alive, Dazang If Khan is not at ease, so will the Great Emperor. Not only will we be uncomfortable, but they will also be uncomfortable."

"You have a home but you can't go home. I'm homeless. Thinking about it..." Daiyu poked her head out gently, opened the curtain, and looked outside. There seemed to be many beggars on the roadside, and some people were selling things.But whether it's business or those beggars, it looks a little weird.Daiyu thought for a while, and asked the coachman to call Qi Wensui over.

Daiyu's phoenix chariot, although it was covered on the outside and no phoenix could be seen, was still comfortable inside.The four tall and handsome white horses were still pulling the chariot, and the very safe coachman was still driving the chariot, which Dade had found for the Buddha.He is safe and reliable, whether he takes the official road along the way, or turns to some famous mountains and rivers occasionally to watch, he drives the car very steadily.Every time she looked at him, Daiyu felt warm and comfortable in her heart, and she was very lucky, of course, there were so many trusted people accompanying him.

After a while, Qi Wen and Sui Er stopped on both sides of the carriage, walked slowly together, and asked what was the matter.

Daiyu asked: "What is the place in front? Why are there so many beggars on the side of the road, and...there are no villages or shops here, how can anyone sell things? And everyone looks like this? "

Sui'er replied, "Wenxi County is less than twenty miles ahead, these beggars..."

"Good girl, these beggars are all from the Northeast. I heard that there was a severe drought this year, and there was almost no harvest. Many people escaped and came out along the way. As for these sellers, they just came. Gu Shang asked." Qi Wen hurriedly responded.

Daiyu sighed, shook her head and said, "Forget it, we can't control this kind of thing. Let's go." These days on the road, there are all kinds of situations, how can she control them?For ordinary people in Shengdou, it is not bad to have clothes to protect them from the cold when they get up early, enough food to eat during the day, a bed to sleep at night, and a roof tile to keep out the rain.As for the others, that is the matter of the Great Emperor.

Foye shook his head and smiled again: "Yu'er, this place name has some meaning, why is it called Wenxi?"

Daiyu glanced at him and knew it was to make her happy, so she lay on his arm and said with a smile: "I asked you to read, and if you don't read, ask me now. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty joined Minyue in the early days, he often repeated it. Later, Lu Jia, Prime Minister of Southern Guangdong, wanted to monopolize power, conspired to rebel against the country, and killed the king, queen, and Han envoys. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and in the autumn of the fifth year of Yuan Ding, he worshiped Weiwei Lu Bode as General Fubo, and Lord Duwei Yang Pu as Lou Chuan General, the generals attacked and defeated the Cantonese in the winter of the sixth year. Lu Jia led the people to flee to the sea. General Fu Bo sent people to chase and kill Lu Jia.

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was touring the world. It is recorded in the book that "going to the east, Jiang Xinggou's family went to Tongxiang, Zuoyi. He heard that Nanyue was broken, and he thought it was Wenxi County.In the spring, I went to Jixinzhong Township and got the head of Lu Jia, thinking that I was in Huojia County. 'Minyue Suiping, divided its land into Dan'er, Zhuya, Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan nine counties. "

"So, this Wenxi County is a good place." Buddha said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily the case. It's just that Emperor Wu of the Han passed by and heard the news and changed the name of the county to commemorate it. It probably doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. By the way..." Daiyu turned around and got up, leaning in his arms and asked curiously , "You said you used to go on tour like this before, and did you have so many things? Do you also have so many things to worry about?" Seeing Buddha's hesitation, Daiyu quickly shook her head and said, "Forget it, let him know whether he is happy or not." Jia, we are not Hanwu, what do we care about so much.”

The two were talking and making fun of each other, when suddenly Feng Nian stopped.The two looked at each other, but they didn't stop, and no one came to answer. What's going on?

Just at this moment, I heard a loud shout from the front: "Stop!"

Then came the voice of Eunuch Chen, who replied: "Master, I've arrived in Wenxi County, I don't know what's going on, I'll go and have a look."

Buddha nodded and said: "I just said the name of this county is good, go and have a look."

Eunuch Chen came to the front, the city wall was similar to other places, but a bit dilapidated.There were a few guards standing at the gate of the city, and the other two looked like guards, standing in the middle, and shouted: "Pedestrians' luggage will be inspected! Be quick, don't get in the way!"

Qi Wen and Sui Er rushed to the front, looked at each other, and asked doubtfully: "Why do you need to check, what kind of rules are these?" The sky is bright and bright again, and I have never heard of any place that is not allowed to pass.Take another look at the two gatekeepers, with a greasy look, squinting eyes, and a foolish image, almost like a crab.

The other guards also had red eyes and drooling, and finally came a big fat sheep. Judging by their posture, they must be very, very rich, and they are going to make a fortune today!The dripping eyeballs are spinning around, and the not very bright mind keeps thinking about whether to bake it all or steam it for a while, or save half of it, and then take it out and enjoy it with wine when the door is closed in heavy snow in winter.Or they are still thinking about how to divide up such a large vote, whether to share some with the county magistrate or the county magistrate.

I haven't figured it out yet, but someone dares to doubt why there is an inspection, and the rules here?The man who looked like a gatekeeper waved the saber in his hand, and snorted: "The county magistrate told me, why are there so many? Come on, stop talking nonsense!"

My heart felt like a virgin who had been teased for a long time but had no real progress, and was furious with anxiety.Looking at Qi Wen and Sui Er again, each of them is wearing a fine brocade robe, and the jade pendant on the waist, tsk tsk tsk tsk, probably the magistrate does not have such a good jade pendant, if they can go back together, the magistrate will be happy?After thinking about it, these two seemed to be just house slaves, or the house slaves who led the way, and the one who came after them... His demeanor became better and better.From this, it can be seen how rich and noble the master in the cart must be.Wa hahaha!Today is heaven's pie, and it's time to pick up the sky's fortune!

Looking at the appearance of the gatekeepers, they are almost tenth class worse than the lowest among the guards; their eyes are more enthusiastic than those who have been hungry for ten days outside the city when they see buns that have been trampled on; Qi Wen and Sui Er felt a chill in his heart, his scalp was numb, and he couldn't help shouting: "The magistrate? What a big magistrate! Even the emperor has to follow the rules when doing things. There are so many people here and there, why do you check? We have passed through so many places and have not checked anywhere.”

"Why? When you come here, you have to follow our rules, and we have to check if we say so." The door clerk is not a vegetarian either.Especially Qi Wen, who looks like a child, who is afraid of him?Instead, he took a fancy to the sword in his hand, turned his head, came up with an idea, and pretended to say, "Quickly accept the inspection, if you interfere with our work again, you will be arrested, and then don't blame us for being rude." Catch people from the head, and everything will be theirs by then.

"What kind of rules do you have? What are the particulars? Please explain clearly, so that we can have an explanation. Otherwise, we will investigate as soon as we say, and we will think it is a robbery. I wonder what do you think?" Chen Gonggong came over asked lightly.Daiyu and Foye didn't want to cause trouble along the way, so they had to be patient.

The two door officials looked at Eunuch Chen's appearance, and his conversation was extraordinary. Don't be someone with some background, it will be difficult to handle at that time, so they couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and replied: "Okay, listen clearly! The emperor issued an order a while ago, We want to hunt down Xue Baochai. This is our official business, and we have to check all the passers-by. If there is any, we will take it and send it to the capital immediately. Judging by your appearance, you are also sensible, and you will not hinder us from doing business, right?"

Uh... Eunuch Chen... Daiyu and the others understood what they heard, they couldn't help being surprised, and smiled wryly.Now that the case is closed, how can it be like this?But having said that, Baochai hasn't been "returned to justice". They searched this way, and they can barely get a little bit of it, but it's too far-fetched.Eunuch Chen paused for a moment, then said calmly: "Pursuing the prisoner, she is a girl, how can she be like us, you have investigated too much. Besides, the prisoner...is there such a big fanfare like us?" Suddenly I thought, they didn't even fight, otherwise these few wouldn't dare to stop.

The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, suddenly felt something was wrong, and hummed: "She's a girl, who knows if she might be hiding among you, so I need to investigate. What's wrong with the big fanfare, maybe it's a bluff. Don't be wordy, if you don't come out for inspection , don't blame the man for being rough." It seems that everyone has been a vegetarian for a long time, and they are a little upset when they see the fat goose.
