Chapter 81 Set off for Chang'an The carriage swayed, and the people sitting in it were also drowsy, but they were drowsy and sweaty, even if the windows on both sides were opened, they couldn't stand the weather without a trace of wind in the near afternoon, and even the horses pulling the cart were listlessly snorting, and they walked forward step by step with heavy steps. Xia Hongsheng looked outside, and saw a tea stall on the side of the road in front of him, an old farmer was sitting under the pergola with a pu fan, and there were several stacks of bowls on the table in front of him, and a copper kettle was placed next to it. Xia Hongsheng looked at the sky, it was close to noon, so he poked his head forward and looked at the side of the carriage. The sergeant on horseback immediately grabbed his horse and leaned over: "Sir...... What does Childe command? ”

"Let's stop here and rest for a while, it's too hot, let's go under the pergola, and let everyone go in." Xia Hongsheng said to the sergeant.

The sergeant immediately clenched his fists and took the order, rushed forward with his legs between his legs, and shouted: "Childe has an order, all the staff rest!" ”

The carriage in front also stopped, everyone got down from the carriage, Xia Hongsheng jumped out of the carriage, and ran to the front with Xu Qixian, and saw Xu Hui jumping off the carriage, holding a fan in his hand and fanning it hard, while saying: "It's really hot, Brother Xia, why don't you make some more ice and put it in the carriage!" ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled dumbly, there is no water here, even if you get water, there is no saltpeter! Shaking his head and smiling, he saw Xu Xiaode coming out, so he said, "Uncle Xu, let's go to rest under the pergola for a while, drink some tea and rest." ”

As he spoke, he helped Xu Xiaode out of the carriage with Xu Qixian, and then went to the pergola, where the old man had already stood up and was looking at them with a kettle.

"A few nobles, the old man's water is drawn from a cool well, it is cold and cold, but it is sharp!" The old man patted his copper kettle and said to Xia Hongsheng and the others: "And the old man's water is different from the others, the others are directly from the well and put it away, but the old man's is boiled and then cooled, this is You Fanglang's sù old man's, drink the old man's water, the stomach will not hurt!" ”

Xia Hongsheng and the others were still wearing their usual clothes, and those sergeants were also wearing the same clothes as a nurse, so the old man only regarded them as ordinary big families.

"Haha, old man, how do you sell this water?" Xia Hongsheng asked with a smile.

"This little boy, you give the old man a penny, how much water you want, it's enough!" The old man patted his chest: "If it's not enough, the old man will go and burn it again, sink the water bag into the well, it's cold soon!" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded with a smile, and then took out half of the money and gave it to the old man: "Come, there are so many of us, one person and one penny, you count?" ”

"No, you don't! No! More, more! The old man hurriedly set the bowl.

While the old man was setting the bowl and pouring water, Xia Hongsheng also went over to think about the sergeants outside the pergola and said, "Everyone come in and rest and drink some water!" ”

Although there are not many sergeants accompanying him, only about 20 people, they are all Qu Tutong's personal soldiers, some are already with hoarfrost on their temples, and some are still young, they are the descendants of those pro-soldiers who have died in battle, and continue to replace their father as Qu Tutong's pro-soldiers, that's it, there are only about 20 people left, Qu Tutong sent his own pro-soldiers this time to send Xia Hongsheng to Chang'an together, these pro-soldiers are no longer as simple as ordinary soldiers for Qu Tutong, so Xia Hongsheng also treated them with courtesy.

Then the sergeants went under the pergola, sat down on the spot, took the bowl and drank it in great gulp, and the old man hurried up again to fill it.

The water in the bowl was really cool, and after a bowl of water, the person immediately relaxed, and his head seemed to be finally clearer, and he finally had the strength to say a few words.

But I immediately heard Xu Qixian say in Xia Hongsheng's ear: "Alas, it's a pity for my brother, Senior Brother Xia, why don't you stay for a few more days, take this opportunity to get close to the Moon Fairy Girl, according to my brother, the Moon Fairy Girl already has some meaning to you......

Xia Hongsheng glanced at Xu Qixian and ignored him.

Last night's performance was a great success, this new form of performance successfully attracted the attention of the audience, and the story was even more fascinating, it really deserved to be a classic that could be passed down for a hundred years, until the end of the fight, the audience discussed almost all Du Siniang and Li Jia, and even many people clamored to eradicate Li Jia's scourge and avenge Du Siniang. Qiao'er, who was scared to play Li Jia, was about to cry, and later had to change into women's clothes to go to the curtain call. And the moon fairy himself is talented and beautiful, and with the icing on the cake of this performance, it is not surprising that he finally became an Oiran. Yuexian is naturally grateful, but Xia Hongsheng is in line with the noble moral sentiment of "gentlemen's friendship is as light as water", in line with the chivalrous way of "not being able to do it, shame its virtue", and in line with the gentlemanly spirit of "for the lady, do not give up", he did not ask Yuexian to do anything, and Yuexian was even more moved with tears in his eyes, took a sachet from his body and gave it to Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng patted the sachet inside through his backpack, and sighed faintly, alas! Well, it's not that he's really so noble and pure-minded, but it's all because this body is too small!

The fighting flower in Luoyang City has ended, and I think that Yuexian will also leave Luocheng, and if he goes to Chang'an, I am afraid that it will really be indefinite in the future. It's not like the afterlife, leave a phone and add a WeChat, you can come to a video remotely, buy a ticket, and you can see it at dawn and evening...... Alas...... Fate is impermanent, is it really fateless, and the most melancholy thing in life is to miss it......

"Brother Xia, what are you thinking about?" A nice voice sounded in Xia Hongsheng's ears, interrupting Xia Hongsheng's train of thought.

"Ahem......" Xia Hongsheng coughed dryly, retracted his inadvertent hypocrisy, smiled at Xu Hui, and before he could speak, he heard Xu Qixian say: "Haha, your Xia family brother sees things and thinks about people, and he is thinking of a confidant!" ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, my son is thinking about life, thinking about the future, thinking about life......"

Before she finished speaking, Xu Hui pursed her lips with disdain.

"Well, well, I actually remembered a long and short poem." Xia Hongsheng felt the hot wind flowing past and said, "Do you want to listen?" ”

"Read it and hear it!" Xu Hui and Xu Qixian were both curious, and they just took a bite.

"The green locust is high and the willow swallows the new cicada, and the wind is beginning to enter the string. The water and smoke sink under the blue screen window, and the sound of chess is shocking and sleeping. After a light rain, the small lotus turned. The pomegranate blossoms are in full bloom. The jade basin is slender and clears the spring, and the beads are broken but round. Xia Hongsheng opened his mouth and said: "How? ”

Xu Qixian was stunned at first, and then he shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands as Xia Hongsheng usually looked: "What else, I feel that my brother's poetry and books have been read in vain for so many years." I can't compare with you, you're a demon! ”

Xu Hui felt the same way on the side, and nodded vigorously.

"Well, I didn't actually write this long and short sentence." Xia Hongsheng shrugged his shoulders: "The person who wrote it is called Su Shi." ”

"Su Shi?" Xu Qixian scratched his head and looked at Xu Hui again: "You read a lot, have you heard of it?" ”

Xu Hui shook her head.

Xia Hongsheng looked at Xu Hui with some surprise, and then looked at Xu Qixian with a black line, you are embarrassed to ask!

Everyone drank water under the pergola, ate dry food, and filled the water bladder with the old man's water, and then set off again and continued along the official road to Chang'an.

Xia Hongsheng was really bored in the carriage, he fell asleep groggily, and after waking up, he suddenly felt sore and soft by the bumps, and he didn't want to sit in the carriage at all, but he didn't know how to ride a horse, and finally sat in front of him again, which scared the people who drove the carriage.

Thinking about his experience during this time, Xia Hongsheng has a sense of vicissitudes of life, he traveled from more than a thousand years later to the early Tang Dynasty, and the eloquent Li Shimin only ascended the throne not long after the change of the Xuanwu Gate. Han Tang! Han Tang! Countless Chinese can't get rid of the Han and Tang complexes, and the great name of Tang Taizong Li Shimin is even more thunderous, and the glory of Tian Khan is still fascinating more than a thousand years later. Now, I was able to see him, and I was able to see the legendary Emperor of the Ages, the Heavenly Khan who will live on forever! As soon as he thought of this, Xia Hongsheng's mood was excited again.

After thinking about it, Xia Hongsheng jumped out of the carriage, ignored the shouts of the driver, hurriedly ran to the carriage in front of him to stop it, got into the carriage, and said to Xu Xiaode: "Uncle Xu, the little nephew has arrived in Chang'an this time, I'm afraid I have to go to face the saint, I don't know what etiquette to pay attention to, and I ask Uncle Xu to teach." ”

Xu Xiaode smiled and said, "Jingshixian's nephew has this thought, but he also has a heart. However, according to the old man, the virtuous nephew still doesn't need to prepare anything, and he doesn't have to learn anything. The virtuous nephew is still young, and when he saw His Majesty in the court, what does it matter if he is a little ugly? …… Hehe, majesty is majesty after all, Tianwei is Tianwei after all! ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to ask again, but saw Xu Xiaode looking at him with a smile, his expression was like an old fox, oops, no wonder Xu Hui's girl was like a little fox, it turned out to be hereditary!

Looking at Xu Xiaode's appearance, Xia Hongsheng didn't ask again, his brows furrowed slightly, his heart suddenly moved, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Xu Xiaode meant.

For a person who has made some achievements and made contributions, some small mistakes will not only not affect people's good opinion of him, but on the contrary, make people feel from their hearts that he is sincere and trustworthy. And if a person appears to be perfect, people can't see his shortcomings, but it makes people feel unreal, which will reduce his trust in the eyes of others, because a person cannot be without shortcomings, so this person will be considered scheming. Xia Hongsheng is now this person, he was knighted at a young age, which is already eye-catching, and at this time, he needs to show some of his own flaws to reduce his threat in the hearts of those people, and also make the people in power feel that this person can control it himself.
