prosperous national teacher

Su Yi was in a hurry to leave Beijing, but he was not in a hurry to leave Beijing.

Although the situation in the frontier is very tense, there is nothing serious in Qingzhou.Even if Mu Yan has many things to be busy with, he is not in a hurry for a day or two.

The roads in ancient times were all dirt roads, paved with gravel at most.In winter, it is dry and rainless, so the road is easier to walk.If not, Mu Yan would definitely have someone bring Su Yi's piano over by the waterway after the river water freezes.

There is a river in the capital that leads directly to the Bohai Sea, and from the Bohai Sea to the waterway in Qingzhou, you can reach the current state capital of Qingzhou.

Mu Yan set off lightly, this piano was considered the most valuable and heaviest luggage.

Su Yi never thought of bringing a piano when he left Beijing.He knew that the road in ancient times was not smooth, and the piano was not lucky.After hearing that it could be transported by water, Su Yi made an appointment to have the piano transported to Qingzhou by water.

But Mu Yan objected.He said that because the piano is so precious, he doesn't feel at ease if anyone escorts him, so he just goes with the person.Anyway, he has no shortage of servants.

In the end, the treatment enjoyed by the piano is probably higher than that of others.

The piano is wrapped with a thick layer of soft silk cloth, and thick fur is tied outside the silk cloth, and then put into a large box stuffed with straw, and the box is covered with several layers of waterproof oilcloth.This huge box is exclusive to a big car.And this cart enjoys the same treatment as the carriage that Su Yi and Mu Yan rode in, and the wheels are wrapped with shock-absorbing leather.

Su Yi looked at such a big battle, and thought that even if the piano was made of glass, there was nothing he could do about the bumpy road.

It can only be said that no matter how simple the conditions were in ancient times, as long as there is power and power, many things that modern people find difficult can still be done.

The piano is like this, so is the carriage that Su Yi and Mu Yan are riding in.

Originally, it was inevitable that the carriage would bump and bump on the dirt road, but the carriage was not only very spacious, it was also covered with several layers of shock-absorbing and warm leather inside, and the road surface was dry, so the speed of the carriage was not fast. Su Yi was in the carriage. Feeling flustered.

There are many exquisite "organs" in the carriage.The card slot can be pulled out from under the carriage seat, a charcoal fire is placed under the card slot, and tea or soup can be warmed on it.There are also small drawers hidden in the carriage, which can take out various dried fruit snacks.

If a person sits in such a carriage, he can even lie on the carriage, which is very comfortable.However, when two people sat, it was a little crowded, so they could only lie on their backs.

But reclining is not bad, it is still very comfortable.

With Mu Yan's level, the carriage is pulled by four horses, and the horses of Mu Yan's family are naturally the most suitable horses for pulling the carriage, so it can be seen that the carriage is not small.

As soon as these four horse-drawn carriages appeared, even if no one cleared the way, other people on the way would voluntarily move out of the way.Because the number of horses pulling the cart can tell the level of the people riding on it.According to the etiquette regulations of the Yu Dynasty, the emperor rides in a six-horse-drawn chariot, and the prince and clan members with titles ride in a five-horse-drawn chariot.As for the scholar-official class, the highest level is a four-horse cart.The rest of the officials are in three-horse carts.

For civilians, there are no regulations. One horse and two horses are fine, depending on their respective financial resources.

Of course, the emperor can give special awards to some people, allowing them to exceed their own specifications.For example, a minister who has become an honorary position with three masters and three masters can travel in a five-horse cart with the same travel specifications as the clan.

The emperor wanted to give Mu Yan some special rewards a long time ago, at least he let Mu Yan ride in a five-horse horse carriage, but Mu Yan himself refused.Mu Yan felt that his qualifications were not enough, so he didn't need to be so high-profile.

Now that he is traveling for a long distance, Mu Yan regrets it a bit.Su Yi didn't complain, he always felt that the carriage was too small, which made Su Yi uncomfortable.

The last autumn hunt was nothing more, the journey was not long.It was such a long journey this time, and Su Yi was bumped, which really made him feel distressed.

Of course, Su Yi couldn't sit comfortably in a carriage.No matter how good this carriage is, it is far inferior to modern means of transportation.But it was much more than he imagined, and Su Yi was content.

If he travels alone, he can only take a three-horse cart.He has no official position, and after being awarded the "Heavenly Master", he can only be regarded as an ordinary official.

This is why the emperor didn't think of it.After all, Su Yi rarely went out.When the emperor rang, his travel specifications would immediately be equal to those of the clan.

This is nonsense, Su Yi is the eldest son of the emperor.The emperor personally took a carriage when he went out, but only three horse-drawn carriages were available, which was too embarrassing.

But the emperor didn't realize this until he was sending Su Yi off.It's too late to make amends now.The emperor thought, after this matter is over, when he rewards Su Yi, he will add this matter, and now he has wronged Su Yi for the time being.

Su Yi joked: "If you dislike the crowd, go out by yourself. Then I'll take another carriage."

Mu Yan immediately shut up.

Su Yi looked out the car window and said, "It's getting dark, so I can't make it to the city today."

Mu Yan frowned.He summoned someone to ask, and sure enough, he couldn't reach the town before dark today, so he had to go to the nearest post station.

Mu Yan said: "Didn't you say it? It's okay to travel some distance, try not to stay in a post station."

That's all for himself, how could Su Yi be allowed to live in the crude place of the inn?

The leader of the convoy quickly apologized, saying that he had encountered several convoys on the official road today, even if those people would give way, it would still take some time.

Su Yi said: "Don't embarrass others. Our family is not following this road. It's okay to live in a post station. Don't be too spoiled when you go out."

After making people retreat, Mu Yan said: "I don't care, I still try to sleep on the ground when marching. But how can you bear it?"

Su Yi said: "Why can't I take it anymore? I didn't grow up rich and well-clothed."

No, I was really well-clothed and well-fed since I was a child, and I have been in my two lifetimes.Su Yi thought.But as he said, how can you pay so much attention when you are away from home?Now traveling with Mu Yan, the road is comfortable enough.

Hearing what Su Yi said, Mu Yan sighed: "Then bear with it. I have wronged you."

Su Yi said: "I don't feel wronged, but you feel wronged, right? Lord Inspector?"

Mu Yan laughed, shook his head and said, "Okay, I'm the one who said too much. Then let's stay at the inn temporarily."

After receiving the order, the leader breathed a sigh of relief.Although this kind of thing is inevitable, it is also possible to suffer some scolding and punishment.Fortunately, there is a celestial master here.

The luck of the leader is not that Mu Yan is so cruel, but that this society is so stratified.Even if there is an accident, if the master's order is not fulfilled, he will always be punished. If it is lighter, he will be fined some monthly money.

Yuchao has been established for several years, and the post station should be restored and built.Although the post station is small, it is not that dilapidated, at least it will not leak rain or wind.

Not to mention the furnishings in the house, although Mu Yan traveled lightly, he also brought a few sets of necessities, at least bedding, basins and bowls.

After Mu Yan moved into the inn, the inn's clerk followed him fearfully, but Mu Yan didn't intend to see him.

With his status, how could he meet a post station official alone?The little official just chatted a few words with his accompanying servants, even Mu Yan's subordinates dared not speak.

Mu Yan's subordinates are all officials.

As the governor, Mu Yan also specially brought a team of military men with positions to protect him, which shows the emperor's closeness to him.

But Mu Yan knew in his heart that this team was actually arranged by the emperor for Su Yi, they were all specially trained cronies and experts, but they were only in his name.He doesn't need the emperor to send someone, he has his own soldiers.

The servants cleaned the rooms in the inn, replaced them with the quilts and mattresses they brought, and then requisitioned the kitchen in the inn to cook for Mu Yan and Su Yi.

The post station naturally has a kitchen stove, and you can also buy some hot food. Of course, if you have servants at home, you can also rent a stove to cook.

Although it is not as good as in the city, it is indeed not uncomfortable.

After a bumpy day, Su Yi hastily ate some meals and went to bed early before it was dark.When Mu Yan was about to read for a while before going to bed, he heard someone asking to see him.

Although Mu Yan didn't bring many people and looked very low-key (according to his standards), the four-horse-horse carriage had already exposed his identity, and it was normal for officials to ask for an interview.Mu Yan is still quite energetic, socializing in official circles is all that matters, even if the official position is lower than his, it's better not to be too arrogant, Mu Yan just met.

It's just that the official didn't expect that not long after he started talking, the topic would turn to his new concubine, Mu Yan couldn't laugh or cry.

It is very common for officials and rich people to keep private prostitutes in their homes, and it is also common to give each other beauties.Although Mu Yan hated women and men before meeting Su Yi, but the mansion also raised a lot of beauties.Let them dance, dance, and sing in their spare time, which is also good for entertainment.He thought Su Yi didn't like it, but he didn't expect Su Yi to find that watching the excitement was quite interesting.He did not dismiss these people.

Of course, you won't take it with you when you travel.

The official probably saw that he didn't bring many people with him, and he didn't have anyone to "serve", so he wanted to present him with a beauty.He didn't know how beautiful his concubine was, so he felt that he would agree.

But even before meeting Su Yi, it was impossible for Mu Yan to accept a beautiful concubine from an official he didn't know on the way.He didn't answer at all, and let the official play for a long time with a half-smile.

After the official talked for a while, seeing Mu Yan's alienated smile, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, knowing that he seemed a little too aggressive.But after knowing that this person is Mu Yan, he still wants to take a risk.With his position, it is really difficult to meet a high official like Mu Yan.It's not easy to meet by chance. He is a thoughtful person who wants to fight.

So the official put on a shy face and went straight to the point, saying that he would give it to Mu Yan.

Mu Yan served tea to see off the guests directly.As a result, the official's status was too low, and he didn't know the "secret talk" among the officials in the capital, that is, he didn't know the meaning of serving tea to see off guests, and continued to praise his beautiful concubine.

Mu Yan could only interrupt him loudly, and said: "I'm sleepy, is there anything else?"

Yes, I want to send you a beauty.The official opened his mouth and almost threw out the words.Anyone who can be an official is not stupid, Mu Yan is so straightforward, he still doesn't understand that Mu Yan has something wrong with his brain because he has no interest in the beautiful concubine he said.

So the official had no choice but to back away in embarrassment.But he didn't give up.He has great confidence in his concubine, if Mu Yan's status was not too high, he would definitely be reluctant.Once a colleague was willing to exchange ten singers, but he didn't change it.

The officials decided to come in a roundabout way, such as meeting by chance.

He asked people to keep an eye on Mu Yan's actions, and asked the concubine to meet Mu Yan by chance.

The concubine glanced at Mu Yan, and she also liked Mu Yan very much in her heart.Don't talk about status, just talk about that face, you are likable.If you can follow this lord, it will be better than the current client.She also asked someone to inquire, knowing that Mu Yan didn't bring any woman to serve her.I thought to myself that even if this lord has other beauties at home - of course, this is for sure.But on the way, she is confident that Mu Yan will like her.She is very proud of her color and skills.

At this time, the defense of men and women was not strict, so the beautiful concubine got up early to wash and dress up, and went to meet Mu Yan by chance.As a result, the people serving Mu Yan circled around several times, saying that it was impossible to meet by chance.

Concubine Mei thought about it and decided to start with others.She saw a plainly dressed little Taoist priest beside Mu Yan who seemed to be of some status, and thought to herself that this must be an alchemist raised by a rich family.This kind of boy who doesn't see women is the best way to lie. She adjusted her smile and blocked Su Yi's way.

Su Yi was surrounded by a lot of people, but he felt a little bored, so he took only one person with him and walked casually in the yard, and set off after the servants packed up their things, but unexpectedly, he was blocked by a beauty.

Then he listened to the beauty muttering for a long while, uh, he couldn't understand.

Su Yi can't really be blamed for this.That beauty spoke the local dialect, how could Su Yi understand the dialect?

Seeing Su Yi's confused look, the beauty remembered that this group of people came from the capital, and she might not understand the local dialect, so she switched to official dialect.But she is just a small local citizen, and she is valued by the officials for her beauty. She only learned a few words of Mandarin when she was serving the officials, so of course it is not standard.

Then Su Yi still couldn't understand.

Su Yi looked at the waiter next to him in confusion: "What did this girl say? Do you need help?"

The man thought for a while, and said: "Tianshi, even the young ones can't understand. But the adults have a guide who understands the local dialect."

Su Yi said: "Forget it, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

When he saw that he was out for a walk, he hurriedly came to protect his servants, and said, "Call the post station officials. He must understand."

After all, Su Yi saw the beauty's froze expression.

Although the concubine didn't quite understand the official language, she could still understand it.So she anxiously repeated asking Su Yi to take him to find Mu Yan, she must have something to thank.

After listening to it a few times, although Su Yi didn't quite understand what the man was looking for, he still understood.He suddenly realized: "Could it be that he came to look for He Qing? Could it be that there is some grievance?"

Isn't that how it's written?A high-ranking official lives in a post station, and meets a beautiful woman and complains?

Su Yi was overjoyed, and felt that there was finally something interesting, so he sent someone to find Mu Yan.

"This Taoist priest, did that girl have any grievances?" Suddenly a young man said, "She means that she is willing to thank you and let you take her to find the adult who accompanied you."

When Su Yi heard this formal Mandarin, his heart felt kind.God knows that the farther away from the capital, the more these accents will become.He only brought the Mandarin language module with him, and he couldn't understand the rest.

"Take her to find He Qing?" Su Yi said, "Why do you go to He Qing without any grievances?"

The man in Tsing Yi laughed: "You can go to find it if you have no grievances."

Su Yi was still stunned.

It's not that he didn't know that someone might have taken a fancy to Mu Yan, it's just that he had seen this beautiful woman when he stayed at the inn yesterday, and knew that this beautiful woman behaved very closely with someone who seemed to be an official, and knew that they were a "couple" ".So he never imagined that a "married woman" would openly go to Mu Yan for something.

After all, he still thinks of modern people, so he didn't know that it was quite chaotic at this time.

The beauty was a little annoyed.She was a little ashamed that others could not understand what she said just now.Now the little Taoist knew what she meant, and asked all kinds of things, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Although it was her own decision to seduce people, she just wanted to come here gently, and she didn't want to be stuck here and asked repeatedly.

But she knew that the little Taoist priest seemed to be valued by that adult, so she endured it and just continued to ask, which was quite sad.

Although Su Yi couldn't understand her words, he still understood her expression. He said to the man in Tsing Yi, "This girl is about to cry. Surely there is some grievance?"

The man in Tsing Yi thought that what he said was clear enough, seeing the little Taoist's head stunned, he couldn't laugh or cry: "This girl must be suffering from lovesickness?"

Su Yi's eyes widened in surprise, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the beauty. After the beauty was exposed, he finally couldn't hide his embarrassing expression.

Su Yi stammered: "But, but this girl is not, not..."

"Not what?" Mu Yan's voice came from behind Su Yi.

Mu Yan came over, and first complained: "Kangle, even if you want to take a walk, you should bring more people. This place is no better than the capital."

Su Yi hurriedly begged for mercy, fearing that Mu Yan would start nagging again.There are others here, what a shame.

Mu Yan glanced at the woman who immediately switched to shy mode, then turned her head and said: "Damn the eyes of the celestial master, tie him up and throw it to that person, and tell him that I have recorded it."

"Hey, don't you need it?" Seeing that the people around Mu Yan immediately stepped forward to cover the woman's mouth, Su Yi hurriedly said.

He's fine, it's not good for a weak woman like this, is it?

Mu Yan said: "Yesterday, the official who was traveling with him wanted to give me money, but I refused. I thought it would be better to do less than to do more, so that it would be fine to let him quit. I didn't expect that he didn't give up. He wanted to give up. Let's start with you. Giving gifts to Shangguan is a felony."

Although if you don't get denounced, it's nothing.

Su Yi immediately imagined the conspiracy theory.This is a public place, could it be that they want to frame Mu Yan!Ah, sure enough, he said, according to the plot of the novel he read, there must be twists and turns in this kind of release, and someone will plot against it.Look, this time it really came.

Su Yi hurriedly said: "The human heart is really sinister!"

Mu Yan understood Su Yi's brain circuit very well. Seeing that Su Yi had been distracted by him, he smiled and said: "Yes. I haven't taken office yet, and someone tried to test it. So you must be careful, Kang Le, don't do it next time." Walk around alone."

"I actually brought people...well, next time I will bring a few more people." Su Yi thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you and not come out alone."

Su Yi is not at all confident in his ability to see through conspiracies and tricks.Since Mu Yan's trip is so difficult, he can't make trouble.He still stayed by Mu Yan's side.

The man in Tsing Yi next to him watched the audience, almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Of course he saw that this was not a conspiracy at all, it was just that some people wanted to please someone and misunderstood the temper of the person being courted.This man was obviously trying to scare the little Taoist priest, he didn't want him to leave his sight, right?

"Your Majesty, I have seen you." The man in Tsing Yi bowed his hands after seeing the two finished speaking.

Mu Yan glanced at that person indifferently, and said, "Qi Yun, long time no see."

Su Yi looked at the person named Qi Yun, then at Mu Yan's expression, and said, "You know him?"

Mu Yan nodded and said, "I used to be a colleague."

Qi Yun smiled bitterly and said, "It's Meng Lang."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two seemed a little strange, Su Yi dared not speak any more.

Mu Yan did not stand coldly, he said: "Your Majesty will send me an unexpected helper, is it you?"

Qi Yun said: "How does your lord know?"

Mu Yan sneered: "Your Majesty doesn't just say who it is, but just the right-hand man. I thought of you. I just didn't expect to see you here."

Qi Yun said: "It is the fault of the lower officials to make the adults unhappy."

Mu Yan said: "I'm not unhappy, your ability is not bad."

Mu Yan thought for a while, then said to Su Yi: "This is my cousin, auntie."

Cousin?Mu Yan's father's cousin, right?Although it was said in ancient times that a meter is three thousand miles away, they are not considered relatives, but since Mu Yan didn't mention a distant house, is this a cousin?Did the two of them have any troubles before?

Su Yi naturally stood by Mu Yan's side unconditionally. Seeing that Mu Yan didn't seem to want to talk to that person, he fully armed himself, showed a special expression for celestial masters, nodded and saluted: "Lord Qi."

He was authorized to salute even when he saw the crown prince, and Mu Yan's future subordinates, of course, did not have to salute either.

Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand that he had already shown his status as an official, why this little Taoist priest's etiquette was so incomplete, could it be that he was arrogant because of being favored?However, Qi Yun immediately thought of some rumors in Beijing, immediately bowed his hands and saluted, and said solemnly: "I can't be called a celestial master like that."

"Okay, it's time to go." Mu Yan interrupted the two very politely, Qi Yun said, "Since we have met, let's go together. But, you are waiting for me here on purpose, right?"

Qi Yun smiled wryly: "This is indeed a chance encounter."

Mu Yan nodded, stretched out his hand to hold Su Yi, and left without looking back.

Su Yi was at a loss.Mu Yan's attitude is very strange.
