On the day Hu Xiaotian left Beijing, Hu Buwei did not choose to see him off. It was not because he was a cruel father, but because he did not like the scene of farewell, not to mention that there was an important court meeting today.
Hu Xiaotian is also a free and easy person. He got up early and came to his father's room to say goodbye to him. The words the father and son said were very simple. Hu Buwei said: "It's so early!" I remember that in the past, this boy always slept until he was able to sleep naturally.
When I woke up, it seemed like the first time in my memory to come over to say hello.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Leave early so that you can travel more during the day."
Hu Buwei nodded: "Are you all ready?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Almost."
"Bon Voyage!"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and turned around to go out when he suddenly remembered something. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Hu Buwei Bang Bang Bang three times. After he finished kowtowing, three more came.
Hu Buwei said: "That's enough, that's enough!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "These three are kowtowing to my mother. When my mother comes back, you can help me to kowtow to her."
Hu Buwei's original sorrow of separation was diluted a lot by his son's words. He laughed and cursed: "You bastard, take advantage of me!"
"I didn't take advantage of you, it was my mother who took advantage of you!" Hu Xiaotian stood up without waiting for him to help him, waved his hand to his father and said: "Let's go, don't give it away, don't give it away, at such an old age, you are crying.
It’s a joke.”
Hu Buwei smiled and said, "Do I like people who cry so much?"
Hu Xiaotian turned around and left, walking out the door calmly: "Help me take care of my mother, and by the way, take care of myself."
Hu Buwei looked at his son's tall back and was moved in his heart. He suddenly felt that his son had really grown up.
Hu Xiaotian has no nostalgia for the capital. If he insists on saying that he does, it should be said that Huo Xiaoru is one. It is a pity that he has no time to develop a relationship with her. Now he goes to Xichuan, where the mountains are high and the rivers are long. Although Huo Xiaoru said that he might go to Xichuan next year, everything is still there.
They are all unknown. At best, they can only be regarded as having a good impression of each other. They are far from being in love or loving each other to the point of life and death. Naturally, there is no commitment.
The four servants have prepared their carriages and horses. Although they all have smiles on their faces, their smiles are obviously far-fetched. No one wants to follow this young master to Xichuan. It is more than three thousand miles from the capital to Xichuan.
The journey alone would take nearly a month, and Xichuan was located in a remote area. The Qingyun County they were going to was a place that was difficult to find on a map, so the conditions in all aspects were naturally incomparable to those in the capital.
People like Liang Dazhuang have no family members, so it's better to be alone. Hoover, Li Jinhao, and Shao Yijiao all have families. If they are asked to go to Xichuan with them this time, they have to face the situation of being separated from their families for a long time. These people
They were all used to living together in the Shangshu Mansion, so naturally they were reluctant to let them go to Xichuan to suffer. What's more, if they had to abandon their wives and children, they would definitely suffer from lovesickness in the future.
Hu Xiaotian could see their embarrassment and reluctance from the smiles of several people. He smiled and said: "Think carefully, we will go to Xichuan for at least one year or two, and at most three to five years. If you really don't want to go, don't force it."
.”
Liang Dazhuang said: "Master, I must go. Wherever you go, I will follow you." This guy knew that the things that had been decided could not be changed, so he did not lose the opportunity to show his loyalty.
Hoover said: "Master, we all really want to go." These people all knew that if they didn't follow, they would lose the job at hand, so they could only pretend to be willing.
Of course Hu Xiaotian knew that what he told was not the truth. Hoover still had three children at home. Once he left, his wife could only take care of the family. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will let you come back when we get to Xichuan."
, my salary is not much, I can’t afford to support you bunch of freeloaders.”
Several people were startled and said hurriedly: "Master, we have no intention of coming back. We sincerely want to go with you." After following Hu Xiaotian for a long time, they all know that this young master is extremely shrewd. Don't listen to him.
What he said was so reasonable, but who knew whether he was deliberately deceiving them to test their loyalty?
Hu Xiaotian said: "Hypocrisy, what you think is written all over your face. I told my father that I will let you guys come back when we get to Xichuan."
When several people heard that Hu Buwei had already agreed, which meant that they only had to escort him along the way to Xichuan this time, instead of accompanying Hu Xiaotian to suffer in Xichuan, their moods suddenly rose, sweeping away their previous depression and melancholy.
Hoover had already prepared a carriage and horses. Hu Xiaotian did not choose to ride in the carriage, but chose to ride a horse. The horse was a snowflake horse specially selected for him by Hoover. After this period of training, Hu Xiaotian's riding skills were considered to be quite good.
After entering the house, they stepped on the stirrups, turned over on the horse, and performed a series of actions that seemed to be similar. The five people walked out of the main entrance of the Shangshu Mansion, and saw Murong Feiyan wearing a blue outfit and a black cloak, riding on a black horse.
The horse was waiting quietly outside the gate.
Seeing Murong Feiyan, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but grin. His neat white teeth stood out in the blue-gray dawn.
There was no smile on Murong Feiyan's face. A pair of clear eyes under her sword-shaped eyebrows looked at Hu Xiaotian coldly. Then she turned the horse's head without saying a word and headed towards the west gate of the capital. She did not gallop on the horse.
, so Hu Xiaotian followed up easily, held the horse's rein and walked side by side with her, glanced sideways at Murong Feiyan's cold little face, and said softly: "Are you unhappy?"
Murong Feiyan ignored him. No matter how Hu Xiaotian asked, she kept silent, which made Hu Xiaotian very embarrassed and bored. He thought to himself, it seems that this time he used his father's relationship to send her to Xichuan to accompany him, which was really offending.
It doesn't matter, it's a long road, and I don't believe you can pretend to be dumb all the time.
The group of people walked slowly. After leaving the city gate, Murong Feiyan obviously speeded up his horse and marched at the front of the group. Hu Xiaotian followed her, followed by Li Jinhao and Shao Yijiao, Hoover driving a carriage and Liang Dazhuang on horseback.
Follow at the end.
Seeing that we have reached the Ten Mile Pavilion in front of us, although the sun has just risen from the east, the pavilion is already full of people saying goodbye. Murong Feiyan showed no signs of slowing down her horse. She had no relatives or friends in the capital, even though it was in the capital.
Among Zhaofu's former superiors, only one of her subordinates, Jingzhao Yin Hong Baiqi, knew that she was going to Xichuan to take up a post. As Hong Baiqi, of course, he would not get up early in the morning to see her off as a young detective.
Hu Xiaotian thought that no one would see him off. His father was preparing to go to court at home, and he had few friends in the capital. His appointment in Xichuan was not publicized. Except for a few people, not many people knew that he was leaving the capital.
Take office.
But when passing by the pavilion, I saw a group of people coming from a distance. The leader of the group shouted affectionately: "Brother! Brother!"
Everyone looked around and found that the person shouting brother was actually Shi Xuedong, the precious son of Shi Buchui, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Naturally, the person shouting brother was Hu Xiaotian. He and Hu Xiaotian were close acquaintances, although they both had their own agendas.
Their identities have been determined, and Shi Jingde, the young master of Jingzhao Prefecture, has testified for them both.
Hu Xiaotian never thought that this guy could come to see him off. Murong Feiyan reined in the horse and gave Hu Xiaotian a cold look. Her eyes were full of contempt. She did not despise Hu Xiaotian, but despised Shi Xuedong. She
The reason why they were suspended all the time was because of this bastard. Hu Xiaotian and Shi Xuedong, who were fighting fiercely and life-and-death back then, have now become brothers. They can only be described as like-minded, collaborating, and a den of snakes and rats.
Hu Xiaotian turned over and dismounted. Judging from his dismounting movements, he was still quite clumsy and his riding skills were not good. He had no other choice. He threw the reins to Shao Yijiao behind him, then greeted him with a smile, clasped his fists to Shi Xuedong and saluted: "Brother
! Why are you here?" But I knew in my heart that Shi Xuedong was the son of Shi Buchui, the Minister of Civil Affairs. He must have heard the news that he was going out to serve as an official, but this guy came to see him off so early in the morning.
What is the purpose? Is it a bad thing or a good thing?
