Chapter 16 Germany and Yi Travel Together

On that day, the Wang family and his son did not go back to work in the fields. Instead, they killed chickens and geese in the backyard and slaughtered all the domestic livestock, preparing for Miao Rong to be taken back to the county town tomorrow.

Just as Cui Che thought, they couldn't give him an equally valuable gift of thanks, so they could only do their best to express their feelings.

The Queen Mother took Miao Rong to talk in the room. She heard that Cui Che had specially taken a detour to let her visit her relatives. The Queen Mother was even more happy, but she did not forget to warn her daughter not to be arrogant due to favors.

, in the future, when your legitimate wife comes in, if she is a fierce or jealous woman, you must serve her even more carefully.

Miao Rong nodded repeatedly after hearing this. At night, mother and daughter slept on the same couch and talked about themselves all night long.

At the beginning, Miao Rong described her life in Cui Mansion in detail, but as she continued, the topic all turned to Cui Che, saying that he peeled oranges for himself to eat; that he missed his parents, hid in the quilt and secretly shed tears, and was beaten by her.

After finding out, he cried bitterly in his arms; he also did not forget to mention that Cui Che had recited poems and sung geese at the Spring Festival Gala.

It wasn't until late at night when I became very sleepy that I stopped.

Early the next morning, Wang's father borrowed a cart from a villager to carry the cleaned livestock.

The Queen Mother said last night that she would let the King's father see her off alone, but when it was time to say goodbye, she still followed her, leaving Wang Jin alone to look after the house.

Miaorong said goodbye to her brother, and with mixed emotions of reluctance and anticipation, she went to the county town with her parents.

Seeing the carriage parked outside the inn, Miao Rong breathed a long sigh of relief and said to herself:

'The young man is indeed waiting for me.'

The reunion is always short, and the parting is always too fast.

Cui Che learned that the king's father and the queen mother had brought a cart of meat as a return gift. When he went out and was about to thank him, he saw the scene of Miao Rong's family hugging each other and crying.

He stopped at the door and waited for a while, until the three of them calmed down before walking out of the inn to thank them.

After waving goodbye to her parents, the tears that Miaorong had just stopped flowing down again.

Cui Che wiped away her tears and comforted her:

"Don't cry anymore. There will be opportunities to meet again in the future."

"real?"

Miaorong choked up.

"When did I lie to you? Let's go. I'm crying. Go back to the inn and clean up. We're about to set off."

Cui Che and his party left Zhongqiu County and continued on the official road towards Yecheng. Although they took a detour, they did not waste too much time.

Zhang Wu was accompanying him with twenty guards, and he was driving a carriage with the logo of the Boling Cui family, so the journey was safe.

On April 14, when the carriage drove into Yecheng, the bustling scene of incense could no longer be seen. The four thousand temples and eighty thousand monks and nuns had all become a thing of the past.

There were still two days left before the date agreed with the Feng family. Cui Che returned to his residence in Yecheng and reported to the Feng family. They agreed to meet at Zimo Bridge on the 16th.

The meat presented by Miaorong's family had already been on the way, and Cui Che had shared it with the people who were traveling with him. It was early summer and the meat could not be stored for too long.

Cui Che spent two days in Yecheng with Miaorong, Zhao Wen and other companions. He knew that during this trip to the west, he was afraid that he would never see this thousand-year-old ancient city that gathered the essence of Hebei.

In the early morning of April 16th, as soon as the sun was shining, the Cui Mansion's motorcade drove towards the north of the city. No more, no less, it arrived at Zimo Bridge at about 10:00, and the six brothers of the Feng family were already waiting in front of the bridge.

Cui Che stepped out of the carriage to greet his six cousins, and saw an old man behind them who looked elegant and somewhat similar to the Feng brothers. No need for Feng Deyi to introduce him, Cui Che bowed and saluted:

"Che'er pays homage to my uncle."

This person is Mrs. Feng’s half-brother, Feng Zixiu.

Feng Zixiu was captured by Nanchen and the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed. He fled back to Hebei and was reunited with his son.

"Well, no need to be polite."

Feng Zixiu took a look at Cui Che and was very satisfied with his demeanor. He turned to Feng Lun beside him and said:

"Deyi, Che'er is young and is your uncle's only bloodline. You need to be taken care of during this study tour."

It turned out that Feng Zixiu fled back to Hebei. When he heard that Feng Lun planned to study in Guanzhong, he gave him a cousin name in advance to facilitate his communication with others.

Feng Deyi naturally agreed.

After seeing off his father, five brothers, and cousins, Feng Deyi talked to Cui Che about the new westward route.

According to their previous plan, they were to take the Taihang Mountain Road, first go to Bingzhou to visit relatives, and then go to Hedong Wenxi to meet Pei Xiu.

However, news suddenly came out some time ago. At the end of February, Northern Qi clan Gao Shaoyi raised troops in an attempt to recover. More than 280 cities north of Sizhou, which is adjacent to Bingzhou, responded. Yuwen Shenju, a clan member of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who was ordered to guard Bingzhou, was deploying troops to attack.

Even when the war is in turmoil, it is better to wait until the situation in Bingzhou stabilizes before visiting relatives.

The relative she originally planned to visit was Cui Che's sister-in-law and the second daughter of Mrs. Feng.

My younger uncle, Li Yuanjian, was born in the Li family in Longxi. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, he served as an official in Bingzhou Tiancao and joined the army. After the Zhou army entered Jinyang, Li Yuanjian continued to serve in the Bingzhou General Manager's Office.

Feng Deyi's original plan was to take a detour to Bingzhou, and also had the idea of ​​sending Cui Che's cousins ​​to study in Chang'an.

Now it was definitely impossible to go to Bingzhou, so instead of taking the Taihang Mountain Road, we went upstream along the Yellow River and went straight to Wenxi County to look for Pei Xiu.

The two of them reached an agreement and each got on the carriage. The two convoys joined together and crossed the Zimo Bridge heading southwest.

Passing by Han Ling, Cui Che opened the curtains and wanted to pay homage to the ancient battlefield. He saw Gao Huan, in order to show his merit, ordered Wen Zisheng to write the "Han Ling Fragments", but in the end he still sat in the car, shaking his head and laughing.

Regardless of the Gao family or the Yuwen family, they are all just emperors with flowing water, while the nobles are the iron-clad masters.

It's just that this iron-clad master will also welcome his pockmark.

The development of papermaking and printing undoubtedly broke the gentry's monopoly on knowledge, and the imperial examination system that sprouted in the Southern and Northern Dynasties was destined to abolish the gentry's monopoly on official positions.

Soon, the scholar family will no longer be the only choice for rulers to govern the country, and the children of poor families will have more say.

After being distracted for a short time, Cui Che put these thoughts behind him. With the development of papermaking and printing, the promotion of the popularization of education, and the breakup of the gentry's politics by the poor, it was a historical inevitability.

No matter whether the nobles are wise or foolish, they can serve as officials, but talented people from poor families have no way to serve the country. It is outrageous that this phenomenon can exist for more than three hundred years. Cui Che has no intention of extending his life anymore, and he also knows that it is a mantis' behavior.

After all, in his last life, he was just a member of the ordinary people, and he hated class barriers.

As the carriage traveled westward, Cui Che and Feng Deyi became more and more familiar with each other during their journey together, and his impression of this little cousin was no longer limited to the image in the history books.

In the history books, Feng Deyi was a trusted aide of Yang Su, who even recruited him as his son-in-law; he was also a sycophant who colluded with Yu Shiji and corrupted the government; he even assisted Li Shimin openly and secretly supported Li Jiancheng. He made bets on both sides, but failed.

An old dramatist who was able to deceive Erfeng and was not discovered by Li Shimin until seventeen years after his death.

Keep asking everyone for your votes.
