Chapter 100: The First Arrival in the Capital
The frost in the north is severe, the yellow sand is long, and several bursts of slaughter are in the Iron Wolf Mountain; the cold sword is cold, the moon is broken and the cold is cold, and the Hu cavalry is screaming in Beichuan.
Since the unification of the Central Plains by the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, Dadu has always been the capital of the Mongol and Yuan courts, and the politics are highly centralized. Due to the geographical relationship, unlike Bianliang in the south, most of the capital has half of the Mongolian people, and they live in the same city as the Han people. However, living in the same capital, the fate of the people of the two ethnic groups is completely different. The least common is the Han Chinese, who are treated as the lowest race due to the rule of the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, and are often treated unequally and even brutally exploited. Now, Zhu Yuanzhang is advancing the Northern Expedition in Shandong, and the court has begun to have some turmoil, and for the Mengyuan court, which is in danger, they will be even more dissatisfied with the Han people. National contradictions, social crises are lurking, and if there is a mistake in politics, people will be panicked......
Inside the gate of the capital, there is a long convoy with many boxes on it, it seems that this is a convoy of a wealthy family or a county government. There is no sunlight today, and the entire capital city looks gray under the shade of gloomy blue, giving people a feeling of oppression. Although there are many people in the city, it always gives people a sense of decadence, and all the pedestrians walk lazily in the city like worms, and there is no life in the ancient city of the capital......
"Phew-" The groom in front suddenly stopped, and then, as if the convoy behind had heard the order, stopped its progress. All the horses looked cold and exhausted, and there was no life in their eyes, as if they had been on a long journey, and the whole convoy of horses and horses was exhausted.
The convoy stopped at a large empty courtyard, and then the people in the convoy began to disembark one after another.
"Father, we have arrived. A black-clad boy with a tall nose and a handsome face said to a man beside him who called him "Stepfather".
The man was an old man of about fifty years old and with a strong body, and he saw the old man say unhurriedly: "After so many days of travel, I have finally arrived in Dadu...... Yun'er, you go down first to help those dart masters sort things out, and I'll go see how your stepmother is doing. ”
"Haode, father-in-law. The boy replied.
It turned out that the young man in black was Sun Yun, the young master of Bianliang's "Coming to the Dart Bureau" that day, and the old man was also Sun Shangrong, the chief dart leader of the Dart Bureau. For some reason, the Lai Dart Bureau was ordered to transfer directly from Bianliang to Dadu, and now this long convoy is carrying all the belongings of the Lai Dart Bureau. Before leaving Bianliang, Sun Yun also had a one-sided friendship with Tang Zhan, and also worshiped each other's brothers and gave each other half of the dragon pattern jade pendant. Now one is in Dadu and the other is in Bianliang, and they are far apart from each other in the south and north. Later, Sun Yun rescued the maid Du Juan under Nangong Jiao's Nangong family, and Du Juan, in order to repay his kindness, was willing to be Sun Yun's maid, and went north to Dadu with the convoy of the Dart Bureau. However, after dozens of days of driving, the overall appearance of the dart bureau was all to the capital, and the overall appearance was also physically and mentally exhausted, and they all wanted to pack up their things, and then quickly rest and rectify......
Everyone got out of the carriage one after another, and Sun Yun's stepmother, Zhen Ling, also got off the carriage. Sun Yun saw that Zhen Ling was also tired, so he rushed over and asked with concern: "Stepmother, you must be very tired after such a long journey, why don't you go to the courtyard to rest first?" Look, Stepmother, that compound is our new home. As he spoke, Sun Yun pointed to the compound next to his stepmother, Zhen Ling, and said--That compound is the new foothold of the Lai Yun Dart Bureau in Dadu.
Zhen Lingwang saw it, so he smiled kindly: "Oh, is it? Having a home can be regarded as having a home, which is better than sleeping out for many days before...... Yun'er, you don't have to worry about me, let's go and help the dart masters carry those luggage, just watch your stepfather here for your mother. ”
Sun Yun saw that his stepmother was fine after a long journey, so he also relieved his heart. Immediately, he turned around again and slowly helped his maid Cuckoo out of the car.
"Juan'er, most of them have arrived, I'll help you down......" Sun Yun looked at the cuckoo who was still in the car and said kindly.
The cuckoo was still dressed in purple, seeing that Sun Yun, who was the young master of the dart game, cared about him so much, the cuckoo blushed, and then replied softly: "Don't bother the son, the cuckoo will come down by himself......" As he spoke, the cuckoo held on to the frame next to him, ready to slowly get out of the car by himself.
However, afraid that the cuckoo had never been far away and was a little afraid of the unfamiliar environment, Sun Yun still stepped forward, hugged the cuckoo directly, and then let it land steadily.
This sudden movement made the cuckoo blush to the root of his ears all of a sudden. After landing steadily, the cuckoo hurriedly responded: "The cuckoo doesn't dare, the cuckoo is just a maid, son...... Childe takes such good care of the cuckoo, and the cuckoo is grateful......"
"This is not the Nangong compound, don't be restrained......" Sun Yun saw Du Juan's nervous appearance, and quickly let him relax, "Besides, along the way, you have not taken care of me, Juan'er, you have taken care of me, I see that you are also quite tired, you can go back to the room to rest later......"
"Cuckoo doesn't dare to ......" Seeing that Sun Yun, who is the young master, will not be idle, and the cuckoo, who is a maid, naturally does not dare to slack off, so she replied anxiously, "Childe and everyone are busy, and Cuckoo is also ...... Don't dare to steal ......."
Looking at the cuckoo like this, Sun Yun couldn't bear it. To tell the truth, Du Juan is indeed a very kind and hard-working good girl, and she also took care of Sun Yun along the way, which made Sun Yun very moved. Sun Yun thought for a moment, and then said, "Hey, well, what if you have to do it...... After a while I found my room, you can clean up my room. ”
"Haode, Childe. The cuckoo replied softly......
It didn't take long for the rest of the group to regain their energy and devote themselves to the work of carrying the boxes.
"Ah Guang, put that box in the warehouse. Sun Yun shouted outside the door.
I saw that standing outside the door was a man with a knife, his name was Ren Guang. There are also two dart masters standing beside him, named Lin Jing and Shi Changsong, the three of them are not only the right-hand men who come to the dart game, but also Sun Yun's good brothers.
Ren Guang heard Sun Yun's instructions, so he said loudly: "Haode, young master, Ah Jing, Ah Song, bring down the box for me, the young master ordered to put it in the warehouse." ”
"Okay—" Lin Jing replied very proudly, and then together with Shi Changsong, he carried the big box out of the car, and then the three of them carried the box in front of Sun Yun together.
"Let's do it with me......" Sun Yun looked at the largest box in the car, and looked at Ren Guang and the three of them had to struggle to carry the box over, Sun Yun seemed to want to try his skills.
"Young master, this little thing doesn't cost you, let's just come. Seeing that Sun Yun wanted to try his skills, Shi Changsong immediately said.
After Sun Yun heard this, he refused: "It's okay, I haven't tried my skills for a long time, let's see if my strength has regressed compared to before......"
As soon as the words fell, Sun Yun took a deep breath, then squatted down and hugged the big box with both hands, held his breath, suddenly exerted his strength, and then was stunned to lift the box that only a few people could move. Immediately, Sun Yun slowly moved in parallel with the box in his arms, heading in the direction of the warehouse.
"I didn't expect that after sitting in the carriage for dozens of days, the young master's strength is still so great......" Ren Guang couldn't help but admire on the side, "The young master has tried his best, we should be more energetic, let's all come!"
"Okay, let's do it together!" was encouraged by Sun Yun like this, so the other people also worked hard and did their best to devote themselves to the rebuilding of the Lai Dart Bureau.
"The big boxes are unloaded first, and then the horses are led to the stable—"
"Is the room cleaned, and in a moment the dart master's room and the servant's room are all allocated......"
"The hall is a little broken, hurry up and clean it up. If you can't clean it, there are spare tables and chairs brought from Bianliang in the car......"
"There's too many weeds in the yard, come over and tidy up the new yard after moving the boxes—"
"What about the plaques, everything will be cleaned up in a while, and the plaques will be re-hung at the gate of the courtyard, and they will all be prepared first......
The atmosphere of mobilization was one after another, and after a while, the whole compound seemed to be boiling, and everyone was full of enthusiasm to devote themselves to their work......
Seeing that all the people in the Dart Bureau were full of energy, Sun Shangrong laughed unconsciously. Suddenly, Sun Shangrong's wife Zhen Ling walked to Sun Shangrong's side, and then said slowly: "Master, you must be very happy to see your appearance...... Over the years, since Yun'er came to us to the dart game, you have always been full of hope for life, and for more than ten years, the excellent dart masters in the dart game are also generation after generation, including Yun'er, like the current Ren Guang, Lin Jing and Shi Changsong and others, are all new students who come to the dart game. Seeing that they have gradually become the backbone of the Dart Bureau, just like when the master was young, you are not only happy, but also nostalgic, right......?"
Sun Shangrong thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Actually, from thirty years ago when I first became a dart master to the dart game, to now become the chief dart head of the dart board, from when I was a dart master, from the first time the dart board moved from Yangzhou to Bianliang, to Yun'er came to our dart game, and now from Bianliang to Dadu, I can say that I have witnessed the vicissitudes of the dart game for 30 years." It is natural that I am very happy to see that the new generation of young people who have passed down the legacy can be so determined and motivated...... Speaking of Yun'er, seventeen years ago, his biological father handed him over to the two of us as an outcast, and to be honest, I don't think it's easy for Yun'er. He hasn't seen his biological parents, and we don't have our own biological children, for seventeen years, he has always regarded the two of us as his biological parents, and we have always regarded him as our biological son, maybe this is also a kind of family fate......" Speaking of this, Sun Shangrong deliberately set his eyes on Sun Yun, who was still working hard, and then a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"But master, Yun'er said that he has always wanted to find his real parents...... Zhen Ling continued, "Seventeen years ago, when Yun'er's biological father handed Yun'er over to us, we didn't even recognize who his biological father was, Yun'er...... How exactly is his wish fulfilled?"
"It's also Yun'er's life is hard...... Sun Shangrong thought for a while, and then said a little unbearably, "Seventeen years ago, his biological father entrusted Yun'er to us in Bianliang, and for seventeen years, Yun'er has not received real family affection. Now that the dart bureau has accepted the instructions of the imperial court, Yun'er has accompanied us to the northern capital, I am afraid that Yun'er will be difficult to meet his own parents again in his life......" Before the words were finished, Sun Shangrong's eyes suddenly became a little sad.
"Yun'er......" Zhen Ling muttered, and also looked at Sun Yun who was working in the yard with sad eyes.
"But fortunately, Yun'er is very optimistic, at least for now, he can live in harmony with us, in fact, it is enough to be satisfied with the current situation...... Sun Yun added. In fact, in Sun Yun's heart, he has great pity for Sun Yun, but this kind of love can never replace the love of blood relationship, and this indelible mark of reality has always made Sun Shangrong extremely contradictory in his heart, because Sun Shangrong really loves Sun Yun and has always regarded him as his own son......
After cleaning up the things in the courtyard, Sun Yun wanted to go to his new room to rest. Sun Yun stretched his muscles, then walked to the door of his room, and then pushed the door into the room.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that Du Juan was cleaning up the tables, chairs and beds in the room, and the floor was already very clean - it seemed that Du Juan had also dutifully cleaned Sun Yun's entire room inside and out just now. Sun Yun saw the brightness of the room, and saw the cuckoo who was still working hard in the room, Sun Yun couldn't help but admire the cuckoo very much in his heart.
Du Juan noticed that Sun Yun had returned to the room, so he quickly turned around, and then said shyly: "Childe, you are back after you are busy......"
"These are all made by you, Juan'er?" Sun Yun looked at the extraordinarily tidy room and praised unconsciously, "I didn't expect Juan'er that you are quite capable!"
When the cuckoo heard this, he blushed and said shyly: "Childe is serious, Cuckoo just did what he had to do......"
"I mean it...... really" Sun Yun slowly walked to the side of the bed, then sat down and said, "In the Lai Yun Dart Bureau, everyone is full of energy, I didn't expect you to be so willing to do it as a girl......" After speaking, Sun Yun slowly stretched his waist, it seems that the heavy work just now consumed a lot of Sun Yun's energy, Sun Yun is ready to take a good rest.
"Childe, your jade pendant ......" Du Juan looked at Sun Yungang when he lay down on the bed, and the dragon pattern jade pendant on his waist happened to be stuck on the edge of the bed, so he immediately reminded.
Being reminded by the cuckoo like this, Sun Yun remembered it, so he immediately got up from the bed, and then touched the jade pendant on his waist, but fortunately it did not fall off. Immediately, Sun Yun untied the dragon pattern jade pendant on his waist, and then stared at the jade pendant for a long time, and then closed his eyes slightly.
Du Juan looked at Sun Yun's preoccupied appearance, and seemed to know what Sun Yun was thinking, so he asked softly: "Is Childe missing his old friend again?" In the past dozens of days, Childe has been staring at that jade pendant more than a few times. ”
Sun Yun slowly opened his eyes and continued to look at the dragon pattern jade pendant that was broken in half, and couldn't help but bring up the old things again: "The dragon pattern jade pendant left by my biological father was already broken in half. Dozens of days ago, I gave half of it to Brother Tang Zhan, but the living people are not allowed to see each other. Now the only thing that leaves a memory is this half of the dragon pattern jade pendant......" As he spoke, Sun Yun's eyes gradually became sad.
Du Juan knew in his heart that this half of the dragon pattern jade pendant contained the emotions of Sun Yun's biological father and Sun Yun's good brother Tang Zhan. Now away from the two, Sun Yun's mood is naturally very lonely. One is a biological father who has never been met, and the other is a brother who is afraid that he will never have the opportunity to meet again, no matter which one it is, it makes Sun Yun's heart feel sorry and painful. Du Juan immediately thought about how to make Sun Yun happy, so he smiled and said, "I know that Childe misses the old man who is far away very much, but at least Childe, you still have us......"
Hearing the sudden change in the cuckoo's tone, Sun Yun raised his head and looked at the cuckoo again.
Cuckoo continued: "Although Childe can't see his biological father and your brother, at least, your father-in-law and mother, and your other friends are still by your side! Just like the cuckoo, although the cuckoo is adrift in a foreign land, as long as the cuckoo can always serve the son by his side, the cuckoo is already very satisfied, and there will be no complaints. So, Childe, you don't need to be too melancholy, maybe look up at the things in front of you, Childe has more things that you need now. ”
As soon as Du Juan finished speaking, Sun Yun looked at Du Juan in surprise, of course, Du Juan himself didn't expect that he could say so much in one breath. After listening to Du Juan's words, Sun Yun suddenly felt that even one of his own maids could think through the problem, Weishenme couldn't figure it out by himself? I should grasp the present, be myself, and not think too much about the things that are not possible. As he spoke, Sun Yun smiled at the cuckoo again.
Seeing that Sun Yun also wanted to open, Du Juan also blushed and laughed......
At the entrance of the compound, everyone was ready to hang a new plaque with the four big characters of "Coming to the Dart Bureau" on the door plate of the compound, announcing the official completion of the new Coming Dart Bureau.
The person in charge of the matter is naturally Sun Yun's good brother, Ren Guang, the right-hand man of the Dart Bureau. Ren Guang instructed his subordinates to carry the plaque and prepare to hang it, and shouted energetically: "A little more to the right, a little more to the right, yes, the plaque is completed, and the new 'Coming Dart Bureau' is officially completed-" As he spoke, Ren Guang stepped up his efforts and participated in the process of carrying the wooden wedge.
"Ah Guang, it seems that you seem to have infinite energy today?" Shi Changsong, who was also doing the same work on the side, said with a smile.
Seeing this, Ren Guang also smiled and said, "Yes, ask Ah Jing to come over too, it's faster to do things when there are more people......
As he was talking, suddenly, a group of people came at the door......
The people who were working at the gate of the compound noticed it, stopped their words, and then moved their eyes to the group of people together. The group of men quickly attracted the attention of everyone present, for they were all dressed in battle armor and carrying Miao knives, and it was clear that they were Mongol soldiers.
"Good guy, as soon as we built a new dart game, the Mongols came......" Shi Changsong couldn't help but whisper when he saw the Mongols coming uninvited without warning.
"Shhh After a while, send someone to call the master and the young master, before that, we had better not have any conflicts with the Mongols......" Ren Guang reminded on the side, "Let's plan first, see what these Mongols want to do......"
So for the sake of prudence, Ren Guang and Shi Changsong did not appear excited, but looked straight at the Mongolian soldiers in front of them to see what they would do......
