Red makeup against the world

Chapter 81 A New Beginning
The Tongji Canal is wide, with blue waves running endlessly. From time to time, water birds pass by on the water surface, making clear and clear calls.

Boats on the river come and go.The company's fleet planted its own flag and sailed on the river.Double-story boats can be seen at any time, and there are larger three-story boats, and the sound of singing, dancing and music can be heard from the boats.Occasionally, you will see a painted boat painted with gold and color, that is, dignitaries and dignitaries are singing and having fun.

It can also be seen from time to time that literati and madmen in Confucian robes go south in a flat boat, singing at festivals on the boat, dancing swords against the moon, or drinking wine and reciting poems.

The closer you are to Luoyang, the more heroic you feel.Those meandering rivers belonging to the south of the Yangtze River and the graceful feelings in the drizzle were all left behind by the Xu family fleet.

Xu Wanzhen was standing against the wind at the bow of the boat, and she would arrive in the capital tomorrow. She was able to see the thunderous Luoyang City with her own eyes, and her heart was full of anticipation and joy.What is the difference between this city and Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty?Thinking back to the grand occasion when Empress Wu Zetian ordered peonies to bloom in Luoyang, the majestic Ziwei Palace, the magnificent central axis, and the Mingtang dominating the city of Luoyang, the majestic atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is fascinating.

And now it is the Gaomang Dynasty, Wei Taizu has worked hard to govern since the founding of the country, and it is said that the country is prosperous and the people are safe.It has been six years since Taizu Wei passed away, and the crown prince succeeded him and changed his name to Yonglong.I don't know where history has gone astray, but customs, city names, clothes and jewelry often make Xu Wanzhen feel like she is in the Tang Dynasty.

Xu Wenyu's cheers came from behind.Starting from the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, it is now the sixth day of April. Including the delay on the way, it took more than two months to sail.No matter how beautiful the scenery along the way is, everyone in the Xu family is tired of looking at it, let alone this little guy.

Hearing that he was about to go ashore tomorrow, Xu Wenyu pestered Mrs. Xu and told the story of the capital.All the members of the Xu family, except Mrs. Xu and Madam Zheng, have never been to the capital, and even Su Liangzhi has never been out of Jiangnan Road at the farthest.Seeing Mrs. Xu talking about the beauty of the capital, they all gathered around to listen.

Recalling the past, Mrs. Xu showed a smile in her eyes, and said: "I was only ten years old at that time, and the late emperor had just founded the country. I heard from my father that the world was in chaos at the end of the previous dynasty. He took our family into the mountains to escape Zhan Luan. I still remember when I was young, my father took me and my brothers and sisters to study under a big pagoda tree in the yard, and taught us to write with branches. Later, we didn’t even know that the world was stable.”

Xu Wenyu raised his head, and asked with sparkling eyes: "Then what happened later? How did grandma come to the capital?" This question, the people around who listened to Mrs. Xu's talk about ancient times, wanted to know, showing anticipation.

Mrs. Xu lovingly stroked the top of Xu Wenyu's head, and said, "Your great-grandfather was a great Confucianist in the former dynasty. At that time, the world was initially settled and there was a shortage of talents to govern the country. The late emperor sent people to look for scholars from the previous dynasty. One of them The team found our family, invited your great-grandfather out of the mountain, and became the secretary of the household department. Later, when he was old, he was promoted to the Imperial College to offer wine and teach chemistry students."

Xu Wenyu put his hands together in front of his chest with an adoring expression on his face, and said, "Yu'er really wants to see his great-grandfather right away!" Xu Wanzhen was fascinated by hearing that her great-grandfather had such a legendary life.

But if the emperor's heart is really unpredictable, look at the Tu family, the great-grandfather was a great Confucianist in the former dynasty, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and Guozijian Jijiu.Looking at the present again, he will not be hired after being demoted, the eldest daughter is a widow, the second daughter is married to a merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and the only son so far is only an official to the fifth rank.Although the "Songxi Academy" opened by his great-grandfather has attracted students, compared to the glory of the past, the Tu family has declined, and it is no longer ranked among the elite in the capital.

I don't know what happened that year.The late emperor's tricks were so great that he demoted his great-grandfather, but acquiesced in allowing him to open an academy.It was not until Emperor Yonglong today that the great uncle was reactivated.

Mrs. Xu said cheerfully: "Yu'er will see you tomorrow. When the time comes, you must salute properly and ask your great-grandfather for advice."

Xu Wenyu nodded repeatedly, and replied crisply: "When Yu'er grows up, he will be as powerful as his great-grandfather!"

Hearing his determination, Mrs. Xu nodded in satisfaction.

Shadow Wind is still pretending to be a long follower, sitting cross-legged in the cabin, he is concentrating on cultivation.Together with martial arts, it is like a small boat going up against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.Qian Feng stood at the bow of the boat, his name was to watch the scenery, but in fact he was the guardian of Shadow Wind.

Hearing the sound of joints bursting in the cabin, he knew that Yingfeng had paid off and bent over to enter the cabin.

Tomorrow is going to the capital, Yingfeng is in a good mood.It has been more than five months since I left Beijing in the late autumn of last year, and I will be able to return before the half-year deadline.

He has already received the news that Feng Jiu has safely arrived at the shadow guard headquarters, as long as he enters the headquarters, no one will be able to threaten him.That part of the evidence is already safe, and as long as he arrives smoothly, he can submit his order to the Lord.I believe that the importance of this information is enough to promote myself to the commander of the shadow guard.

Qian Feng saluted and said: "My lord, after entering the city, I will wait for orders at the 'Hefenghao' cloth shop." The Qian family's business is mainly in Jiangnan Road.In the capital, there is only one cloth shop.Qian Feng came to Beijing this time, one is to cover for Yingfeng, this time he can get the evidence, he has made great efforts, and he also means to wait for the reward in the capital; the other is to expand the business of the Qian family, and wants to open the "Hefeng" "The semicolon of the escort agency, the capital has a semicolon, so that you can walk the darts throughout Gaomang; three, by the way, escort Xu Wanzhen to the capital.The Xu family is full of old and weak women and children, so he is really worried.

The Xu family married Su Zhiqing as their daughter-in-law. After getting married, Qian Feng saw her live happily ever after.But Xu Changzong implicated her in her early death, so Qian Feng's feelings for the Xu family were complicated, which was why he stood by and watched when the Wang family attacked the Xu family.But ever since he met Xu Wanzhen and Xu Wenyu, the two siblings are the continuation of Zhiqing's bloodline, the older sister is intelligent and independent, and the younger brother is innocent and cute, he can no longer feel at ease and can't sit idly by.

Fortunately, he came, otherwise Xu Wan would be in danger and Xu's family would be isolated and helpless in Yangzhou City.Even if Xu Wanzhen successfully escaped from the Yin family's big ship, it would be difficult to hide her identity.If outsiders know that Xu Wanzhen has been kidnapped, her boudoir reputation will be ruined, and it will be difficult to find a good family in the future.

The Xu family has arranged for the family members in advance to take a fast boat and go back to Tu's house in the suburbs of Beijing to report the news.

That night, Xu Wanzhen lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.It has been more than half a year since she traveled here, and the capital city is a completely unfamiliar place to her.

The Tu family is a big family, just in the immediate family, there are two cousins ​​and two cousins ​​in the same generation as her.I don't know what kind of people they are?

Before leaving, my grandmother mentioned that my great-grandfather was ill. I wonder if he is better now?
Also, what does that mysterious man Wu Zhengxiang look like?Under what circumstances will we meet?Thinking of him, Xu Wanzhen's heart pounded like a deer, shy and hopeful.

Xu Wanzhen didn't fall into a deep sleep until the sky gradually dawned.

　Finally, a new volume has been opened, and Wanzhen is about to reach a new stage
