Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

As soon as the mule cart entered the village, it attracted the attention of the villagers. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stretched their necks to look.

Moreover, the boy sitting on the shaft of the car was so handsome that the villagers were dumbfounded for a while.

A group of naughty and curious children followed the car, jumping and screaming, and followed along to the village.

The farmer in the car heard the noise and climbed out, scolding the children and showing Li Baolu the way, "Girl, turn left ahead and the third house is my house."

When the villagers saw the farmer sitting in the car, they quickly raised their voices and asked, "Second Lan, why did you come back in the car? Where is your third child?"

Lan Er's eyes turned red, and he forced a smile and said, "My third son was injured, and benefactor sent us back."

After saying a word, the mule cart had already turned around and arrived at the gate of Lan's house quickly.

The members of the Lan family had already heard the movement and ran out. Li Baolu jumped out of the carriage, quickly helped Gu Jingyun down and retreated to the side, so when the Lan family came out, they saw the dying third son Lan lying in the carriage.

After the Lan family was stunned, they burst into tears. An old woman and a middle-aged woman crawled to Lan Laosan's side quickly, wanting to move but not daring to touch him. It was Lan Laos who repeatedly assured Lan Laos Three Now that they are out of danger, they calm down a little.

Knowing that Lan Laosan should not move, the Lan family hastily and gently lifted him off the mule cart and sent him back to his room.

The two brothers of the Lan family planned to go to the city with their pears on their backs to exchange for some money. They did this kind of thing twice a year, and they were already familiar with it, and nothing happened to them.

Who knew that there would be a thunderstorm on the way this time, and they would be stranded in that ruined temple, not to mention that they would encounter an assassination and almost lose their lives just by staying overnight.

Looking at the dying Lan Laosan, the Lan family only felt a thunderbolt, and their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley.

The Lan family's family background is not bad in the village, but that's just enough to eat. They cut two catties of meat every year and festival, and they can continue to accumulate wealth when the family is pain-free. Maybe in ten or so years they will be able to Buy more land and become rich or even small landlords.

But now Lan Laosan is seriously injured, no matter whether he can survive in the end, the Lan family will suffer a huge blow.

The blow is sweeping, almost setting back their standard of living by a decade.

Therefore, even though they were grateful to Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, it was difficult for them to put on a smile at this time, so they could only keep attracting people to their homes, and gave them the most pears in the house.

Lan Lao Er blushed a little, and asked his old lady to kill a chicken to treat guests in a low voice.

Mrs. Lan hesitated, the chicken can be saved for the third child to make up for the body, the chickens in the family are limited, if I kill one now, my son will eat one less in the future.

The second blue blushed and said, "Mother, if it wasn't for them this time, the third child and I wouldn't be able to come back, not to mention a chicken, or all the belongings."

"Got it, got it, I'll go right away." Old lady Lan went to kill the chicken with distress.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu didn't intend to stay longer, they had already delayed half a day to send the Lan brothers back, and they didn't want to spend any more time here.

So Li Baolu only drank a bowl of water and wanted to leave.

Naturally, Gu Jingyun didn't want to stay any longer, so he just asked about the roads leading to Lan Erer's temple in all directions before going out.

Seeing that he couldn't stop people, Lan Er Er naturally knew everything to repay his kindness, "We are remote here, there are only two official roads, one leads to the north and the south, and the south goes into the territory of Guangdong. It is said that all the way leads to Guangzhou. , to the north it leads to the capital city, but this road has to change direction along the road, connecting the big counties on the road, and bends a lot, so people who want to go to the capital city and the north don't like to take this road. But to Zhejiang, Those who do business in Jiangsu, Hebei and Shandong love to take this road. One leads to east and west, needless to say, the east road leads to Fuzhou, and the west road is said to lead to Hunan, but it’s long.”

Ordinary farmers probably don't even know where the gates of the county town open, but Lan Er Er knows better because he often travels to the county town and likes to listen to the bragging of passing businessmen.

"Then if you want to go to the capital, which way is more convenient?"

"Then you have to go west first. When you reach Nanchang Mansion, you can go north quickly. I heard from the merchants who passed by that the road is wide and flat, and the road does not bend because it transports grain and grass to the capital every year. It’s the fastest way to get to the capital there, and it takes less than half the time than here.”

Gu Jingyun nodded thoughtfully, "There are many businessmen on the official road we are taking today?"

Lan Laoer nodded, "When it is busy, the teahouses on the road can be full of people."

"What's wrong?" Li Baolu turned to ask him.

Gu Jingyun waved his hand, and said to Lan Erer: "We are in a hurry, so we won't stay any longer." Pulled Li Baolu to leave.

Lan Lao Er anxiously tried to persuade him to stay, "It's better to have lunch here before leaving."

Gu Jingyun shook his head to express his thanks. Firstly, he prefers to eat what he and Li Baolu cooked, and secondly, they are in a hurry, so it is impossible to stay here for a long time.

The two quickly got into the car and left. The old lady Lan let go of the chicken in her hand with a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she moved a little slower, otherwise the chicken would have died in vain.

"Are we in a hurry?" Li Baolu was confused. They walked leisurely all the way. Yesterday they rushed to find a place to rest because of a thunderstorm.

"We're going to chase Wei Yingjie and the others." Gu Jingyun said seriously.

"Why? Didn't you keep refusing to have intercourse with them before?"

"Of course, if I don't refuse, but rush forward, then the situation will be different," Gu Jingyun said: "We are going to run into them now."

"They have a high status, so they are very useful for us to rehabilitate uncle?"

Gu Jingyun nodded solemnly, "If what I expected is correct, then it will be of great use. In other words, whether uncle can be rehabilitated or not depends half on him."

Li Baolu cheered up, and asked enthusiastically, "What is the identity of their master, the one named Li An?"

Li Baolu muttered, "This name is really common."

Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said speechlessly: "This name must not be common, is it? The grandson of the court is called this name."

Li Baolu's body froze, her eyes widened and she said, "How do you know? No, is Li An the grandson?"

Gu Jingyun didn't answer her first question. His uncle was once the prince's teacher, so of course he knew their names, "The ones named Li An are not all grandsons, but they can be called Li An, and they have a Yanjing accent. There are only a few guards with good looks and martial arts, not to mention," Gu Jingyun's eyes flashed coldly, and he said: "Peng Yu next to him, I heard Tao Wu tell him to be self-clearing. His eldest son, Peng Ziqing, accompanied the grandson to read. Speaking of which, his handwriting was written by the prince, which shows the strength of the Peng family."

Gu Jingyun has been following Qin Xinfang to deal with the news gathered in Qiongzhou from outside. They belong to the prince's family, so naturally they need to get a general idea of ​​the officials in this department, so as not to accidentally hurt them in the future.

Li Baolu instinctively felt that Gu Jingyun didn't like Peng Yu, and asked, "Is there any grudge against the Peng family?"

"No, it's just a political disagreement," Gu Jingyun said sarcastically: "But you have to know that there are some connections. Peng Dan came from the family of his grandfather, and he was a senior brother of his uncle. After his uncle was convicted, he was promoted to the cabinet by the crown prince. took the position of uncle."

Li Baolu's heart skipped a beat, and she swallowed nervously.

Gu Jingyun lowered his eyes and held her hand, saying: "Although my uncle always said that the prince will not forget him, but the tea is cold and my uncle has been exiled for fourteen years, no amount of affection will slowly fade with time, let alone the prince. There are so many people around me waiting to make their debut.”

"So we can't just pin our hopes on the prince's feelings for his uncle. The emperor is almost sixty, and the prince is in his early forties. His health has not been good. If the world does not fall into the hands of the emperor's son, then It is directly inherited by the grandchildren," Gu Jingyun smiled at her, "In your words, we have to find a way to win the favor of the grandson."

However, he doesn't bother to do servile things, and he doesn't know how to do them. Since he doesn't want to wrong himself, he will use enough bargaining chips and skills to make the other party put down his dignity. Don't ask for equality, but ask for dignity.

For the sake of the future, Gu Jingyun is willing to calculate all of this.

He said: "Those men in black who want to kill Li An will definitely not stop here. They will only encounter more and more dangers in the future. The closer they get to the capital, the fiercer the attacks will be. They came from the south just like us Here, they didn’t go to Nanchang to go north, and they didn’t ask for help from the yamen garrison, but went north secretly by themselves, which shows the danger of their trip.”

"The official road in Nanchang is not safe for them, and the small road is not only difficult to walk, but also has no guarantee of safety. The official road here is well-developed, so it is easy to camouflage and evade. They will definitely continue to take this road. They have more wounded than us, even if they walk half a day earlier than us, we can catch up quickly, you speed up your pace and walk in front of them, then slow down and let them chase us..."

This was simply an arranged "encounter", Li Baolu recited Buddha for Li An and the others in her heart, but in order to rehabilitate her, Li Baolu patted Hongzao's buttocks and shouted: "Go, drive!"
