The next morning, the wind and snow were still blowing.

Zhu Ping'an got up early, spread a black wooden board on the table near the window to practice calligraphy, and after everyone else in the inn gradually got up, Zhu Ping'an put the black wooden board, put the brush and other things into the schoolbag in turn, packed up the bed and his own things, and took two oil cakes made by Chen and went downstairs.

In the lobby of the inn, Zhu Ping'an asked for a bowl of mutton soup like last night, and ate it with oil cakes.

"The shopkeeper has a job, may I ask which direction is the official road to the north?"

Zhu Ping'an had breakfast, and when he paid the bill, he asked the shopkeeper about the route.

"Don't dare, don't dare, there are two official roads to the north in this town, where are the guest officials going?" The shopkeeper was in a harmonious mood.

"Go to Jingshi." Zhu Ping'an replied.

"If you want to go to Jingshi, then go in this direction, after Peacock Terrace, there will be an official road leading directly to Luzhou Mansion, and there will be more ways to go to Jingshi over there." The shopkeeper led Zhu Ping'an to the door, pointing in a direction and telling Zhu Ping'an the route.

Luzhou Mansion, that is, the modern Hefei, since ancient times, Hefei is the place where the soldiers must fight, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei and Dongwu fought in Hefei for decades. The Song Dynasty was Luzhou, and during the Southern Song Dynasty, Hefei was the frontier of anti-Jin. It's not bad to go to Beijing after passing through Hefei, just to see what this battleground was like in ancient times.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Zhu Ping'an thanked the shopkeeper.

After saying goodbye, Zhu Ping'an informed the store guy to check out, pack up the things, and the store guy helped take the things to the backyard and put them on the back of the well-fed and well-fed black horse that killed Matt, and before Zhu Ping'an got on the horse, he took out a rabbit fur long-collared cloak from the baggage and put it on.

This cloak was specially made by his mother Chen for himself, for himself to protect himself from the cold and wind on the road, and the rabbit fur was made of rabbit nitrate skin put on the mountain by the eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan.

"There is snow today, the guest officer may wish to stay for a day and leave when the snow stops." At the door, a group of amiable shopkeepers persuaded.

"Thank you, the shopkeeper, the snow is not cold, it is a good time to hurry." Zhu Ping'an turned over and got on the horse and thanked the shopkeeper slightly. Then he drove his horse along the route that the shopkeeper had pointed to.

The small town is not big, and after walking on horseback for more than ten minutes, I saw the peacock platform mentioned by the shopkeeper.

I thought that the peacock platform to which the shopkeeper belonged was just the name of a mound, but I didn't expect that this peacock platform was magnificent. The peacock platform is in the shape of a 'convex' character, covering an area of about 100 square meters. It is the structure of two floors up and down, with a wide empty platform on it, a corridor hall roof, a cornice, and a bucket arch on each floor. Carved beams and painted buildings, the atmosphere is magnificent.

How could a small town have such a building, Zhu Ping'an was curious and drove forward.

"The peacock flies southeast, wandering for five miles"

On the stone closet window of the corridor in front of the peacock stage, it is engraved such a "Peacock Flying Southeast", the handwriting is good, full of pathos.

Uh, remembered.

In the small town of Huaining County, the peacock flies southeast, yes. This is the birthplace of "Peacock Flying Southeast", which is called "Yuefu Shuangbi" together with the "Mulan Poem" of the Northern Dynasty, that is, the place where Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi were buried together.

After being in Huaining County for so long, I forgot such a place, but fortunately, I passed by here in time for the exam, and it was really better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles.

During the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Lanzhi, who was both talented and good-looking, and Jiao Zhongqing, a small official in Lujiang, sincerely loved each other. But the mother-in-law Jiao's mother made things difficult for Liu Lanzhi for various reasons, Lanzhi resolutely asked to return, Zhong Qing's plea to his mother was invalid, and the husband and wife had to say goodbye, and they both "swore that they would not lose each other".

Laneige returns to her parents' home. Marriage suitors came one after another, first the county order proposed to the son, and then the Taishou Cheng was the matchmaker. Laneige categorically refused because of an appointment with Zhongqing. However, his brother spoke ill of him. Laneige had no choice but to agree to the marriage of the family. Zhong Qing rushed to hear the change, and the husband and wife agreed to "be a winged bird in the sky, and be a branch in the ground". On the joyous day of Laneige's wedding, Liu Jiao and the two went to Huangquan to sing for eternity.

If you were yourself, you would never let this kind of tragedy happen.

I hung on the Peacock Terrace for a long time. Zhu Ping'an sighed, and then drove the horse away from Peacock Terrace and went north along the official road.

The snowy official road is much easier to walk than the rained official road, and the dark horse that kills Matt seems to ignore the wind and cold, and walks forward with the horse's head held high in the wind and snow, maybe the official road of this goods is easier to walk than the mountain road.

Walking along the official road to the north, you can see the shadow of the village on both sides of the official road from time to time, unlike yesterday, when you walked for more than half a day, you couldn't see a single family.

At about noon, Zhu Ping'an got off the official road and went to a small village near the official road.

The north wind was very hard, blowing the snow from the ground into the village, and then from the village road, and then under the base of the wall, under the firewood stacks outside the wall, in all leeward places, piled up a calf-high layer of snow.

The ravines on both sides of the road were blown with snow, and they were as flat as the road, if it weren't for the scorched yellow artemisia grass tips exposed in the snow on the side of the road, which sizzled in the wind, Zhu Ping'an would not be able to tell which was the road and which was the ditch.

A group of chickens in the village, led by a few roosters, gathered around a firewood straw stack, slowly and methodically looking for food. A few bored roosters are flapping their wings and pecking at each other for the possession of a certain hen, crackling and flying in the snow.

On a flat ground at the entrance of the village, there were a few naughty boys who set up a basket on the snow, sprinkled some grain underneath, pouted and lay on the side waiting to buckle the sparrows.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an riding over, he was startled and flew in the sparrows, and a few naughty children who provoked him snorted and looked at Zhu Ping'an with an unkind face.

"I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree; If you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy the road. ”

A little kid with snot bubbles stuck in front of Zhu Ping'an's horse with his waist in his back, coaxing with his head on his back. Then several other little kids also stood behind the little kid who was in his early teens, as backups, and they all looked at Zhu Ping'an with an unkind face.

Looking at a few bear children with snot bubbles, Zhu Ping'an slightly hooked the corners of his lips.

"I'm a bird demon under the snow demon, I heard that you are plotting to kill my subordinates here, so I turned into a human form and came here to find out, I didn't expect to be seen by me, tsk, I heard that children's meat is the best."

Zhu Ping'an rode on horseback, inhaled hard in the direction of several children, and then licked his tongue in an intoxicated manner.

"Youkai."

When a few bear children heard this, they looked at Zhu Ping'an as if they were going to eat meat, snorted, and ran away.

"Well, I'm kidding you."

Looking at the appearance of several bear children running away, Zhu Ping'an couldn't cry or laugh, these bear children are too simple.

"I won't be fooled by you!"

"Don't chase after us, we have a child's pee."

When several bear children heard this, they made a grimace at Zhu Ping'an, and they ran more happily, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye. (To be continued.) )
