Twenty-five years of heaven, in late November.

Less than a month after returning to his hometown in Haiping, Zhou Ming, who had just attended the launching ceremony of the "Warship One" warship, was hurriedly called back to Tianjiazhuang Wubao.

The decree is coming.

"Fengtian said, the emperor's edict said, I heard that Qingzhou has the stranger Tian Shizi, the genius is outstanding, and the world is famous ... I want to see it, I wonder if Mr. Zihua would see me?"

After reading the imperial edict, Ma Dexi, the eunuch, was filled with emotions. In order to find this Mr. Zihua who was erratic, he first took people to Liangzhou. After searching for more than half a month in the sea, he went to Youzhou according to the news. After thousands of miles of tossing, buttocks were worn through by horseback, he still couldn't find it.

In the end, there is really no way. He can only come to the home of this Mr. Zihua and finish the task of reading the Decree first.

But I did not expect that this Mr. Zihua had returned to his hometown, and had just finished the marriage.

"Ma Duke, now the weather is freezing and the road is difficult. Can I wait for my New Year's at home before I enter Beijing to be holy? Isn't this a matter of urgency?"

The emperor summoned the imperial order, Luodu, the imperial capital, and Zhou Ming must be going.

However, it was so cold outside that he spent a few days at home comfortably and had to set off to go to Zhongzhou Miansheng, which is 3,000 miles away. Zhou Ming was definitely unhappy.

At least it has to be over the New Year, and then start again in the spring.

"Just go, our family will be with you at your home for the New Year, and then you will join you in Beijing, Shengtian, Tian Zihua, but you do n’t run around anymore. In order to find you, our family is almost boneless, but almost run away. Slightly. "

Ma Dexi grabbed Zhou Ming's robe and complained.

"Haha, Grandpa Ma, you'll have a good time at my Tian family this year, here you will raise your broken bones and go away!"

Zhou Ming smiled and asked the housekeeper to arrange the guest room, so he settled down and settled down to read the decree of Magong and others.

Therefore, the **** Ma Dexi and the four escorts lived in Tianjiazhuang for more than a month.

For more than a month, they ate and drank well. Everyone gained a few pounds of fat. They also received hundreds of filial pieties. They learned to play poker and mahjong. They were very happy. If someone reminded them, they almost forgot. Come here for the task.

"Mr. Zihua, this year is over, and the outside is also spring. It's better to leave earlier. Let's go to Jingmiansheng with our family?"

On that day, when I saw Zhou Ming who had returned from a trip outside, Ma Dexi, whose single chin had become a double chin, pulled him and said.

"Fine! Grandpa Ma, let me burn incense and bathe for five days to show respect for His Majesty the Emperor Ming and the Queen Mother. We will set off on the sixth morning!"

"Good, so good!"

...

Six days later.

Twenty-six years of heaven, twenty-two on the first month, early in the morning.

Zhou Ming, Li Dazui, several classmates, one hundred ethnic soldiers, as well as Father Ma Dexi, four bodyguards, plus a convoy with fifty four-wheeled heavy carriages, carrying a large number of books and gifts, Hao Vastly, heading towards Zhongzhou.

As for the family and the female family, apart from the sister Tian Jiao who insisted on following, Zhou Ming did not bring one.

His wife Cui Rincong's concubine Chu Jingling wanted to go with him, but they are both pregnant now, so it is not convenient for them to travel long distances, so Zhou Ming did not agree with them to follow, and waited until they gave birth to their children. Zhongzhou is not late.

Moreover, this trip to Zhongzhou was beneficial and risky, and he had to take it seriously.

The advantage is that he can enhance his reputation and expand his influence.

The risk is unpredictable. As the saying goes, a king is like a tiger. The closer it is to the political center of the feudal dynasty, the greater the probability of causing trouble to the upper body. Of course, Zhou Ming will not take the initiative to provoke trouble. Trying to find a way to dig traps and apply eye medicine to prevent them from going all out. If you make a wrong step, you may fall into the abyss and die without burial.

Therefore, this time he brought a hundred clan soldiers fully, all equipped with a rear-mounted rifle gun, ready to see the situation is not good, he opened a **** road to escape.

...

On the way of three thousand miles, the huge team traveled at a speed of forty or fifty miles a day, and stopped for more than two months, reaching Qinghe County, less than a hundred miles away from the capital city of Luojing.

Walking so slowly, it is not that Zhou Ming deliberately slowed down the speed, and did not have the sincerity to go to Beijing to face the Saint.

But this way came and learned that "Mr. Zihua" was coming. The counties and counties along the way seemed to be fried. Numerous local celebrities and celebrities stopped in front of the convoy and said that they would see Mr. Zihua.

There are also hosts who arranged the banquets and folded the beds and invited him to come and stay for one day and stay overnight. Zhou Ming was not very good at refusing and had to go.

Because these people who keep him as a guest are all famous local celebrities, and there are many nobles who have stood for thousands of years and have to give that face.

The enthusiasm of these families also surprised Zhou Ming. In addition to giving all kinds of precious gifts, Guangmei received dozens of people, almost forming a "Yueyue 48" singing and dancing group.

The most exaggerated is the rich merchants in Zhongzhou who are rich in the enemy, and countless in their wealth. When they learned that Mr. Zihua was coming, they started a jaw-dropping "fighting the rich" race around the team of Mr. Zihua.

A silk merchant with a surname of Shi laid a thirty-mile silk rug on the official road to welcome Mr. Zi Hua, so that no one cares about it.

A gold and silver mine owner with the surname Zhao took millions of gold and silver, sprinkled it on the ground, and paved a half-mile long "golden road". After Mr. Zihua walked by, he asked passers-by to pick it up at random. ".

There is also a slave trader whose surname is Shi. Through various channels, 108 women from different countries, including whites and blacks, have been distributed, and a "108 country mother star array" has been distributed, saying that it is to be given to Mr. Zi Hua. Enjoy, Zhou Ming directly called the clan soldiers to drive away all these women.

In short, the closer to the imperial capital, the more exaggerated the welcome scene that Zhou Ming encountered.

Of course, Zhou Ming also understands that these lavish merchants are extravagant and wasteful, greet themselves, and try their best to create big news, not to prove how generous they are, nor their vassal elegance, but to admire the talent of Mr. Zihua.

The basic purpose of these luxury merchants is nothing more than trying to rub a hot spot and take the opportunity to advertise and wash themselves. If he really got into these luxury merchants, they became their "speakers" and "spokespersons". Yes, but it is also endangering.

Therefore, Zhou Ming still distanced himself from these high-spirited merchants, slammed the west, moved away from the big forces and played the game of hide-and-seek. So, the speed of the team ’s movement was accelerated by UU reading www.uukanshu.com.

Qinghe County, a county close to the Imperial Capital Luojing, can reach the Imperial Capital within a day at most.

Before entering Beijing, Shengming and his party stayed in Qinghe County for a few days, and stayed at the Cui family in Qinghe for a few days.

Qinghe Cui's, the main branch of Cui's clan in Anping, is also a distant relative of Zhou Ming.

After ordering people to mention the post, Zhou Ming received a grand welcome at the Cui family in Qinghe. The owner, Cui Jing, personally entertained him and called him "nephew". The young talents in Cui's family, all called "cousin and cousin" enthusiastically, surrounded his face with enthusiasm, Zhou Ming timely gave him the gifts he brought, especially the set of beautifully printed and signed comics After the episode was delivered, there was more cheering and screaming.

For a time, these young talents of the Cui family, the etiquette and restraint that the large family cultivated for many years, disappeared.

"Hee hee, I haven't seen him for years, cousin Zihua is still so free and easy."

Seeing this scene, Cui Yunhua, who was holding a baby in her hand and dressed as a woman, covered her mouth and smiled lightly with emotion.
