Chapter 5 Chapter 5(1/2)

In late spring in March, the wind outside Jiankang City is beautiful, and the grass is growing and the birds are flying.

Luo Shen sat in the ox cart and left the city to Bailuzhou.

The manager, Uncle Aqi, took a few family members, carefully protected the ox cart with him.

Unless it is specially driven by the skilled man to compete, the speed of ox carts will be slower on weekdays. People will ride on the carts, which is much smoother than that of horse carts, and are more favored by the literati and officials who are respected and have good habits. This is why ox carts are popular now and there are few people riding horses in Jiankang City.

But even so, Uncle Aqi was still careful and ordered to drive people slowly, and slower.

Two days ago, Luo Shen accidentally slipped and fell down on the swing frame at home. Fortunately, the grass was covered with soft spring mud. Although he fainted at that time, he woke up quickly and was not seriously injured. He even had no injuries.

But Uncle Aqi was so scared that he was very worried.

Therefore, today, I can't resist the God of Luo River and I'm going to come out, so I'm naturally very cautious on the way, for fear that she will make another mistake.

After waking up after falling, Luo Shen felt a little pain in his head and was stunned, as if a ball of paste suddenly stuck in his head, vaguely, remembering that he had a dream.

But no matter how she thinks, she can't remember it.

It feels like getting lost in a foggy forest, which is very annoying.

At that time, she held her head and thought for a while, then she let go of her carelessness.

Because she had something even more upset than this little accident.

The golden copper bell tied to the neck of the bull followed the ox cart and made a pleasant jingle sound, as if reminding her that the spring outside the carriage was full of spring and she was just having fun.

Luo Shen didn't have the mood at all.

She looked frowning, and a slightly fleshy jade white hand supported her small and beautiful chin, and supported her elbows on the window, gradually becoming more and more conscious.

I remember that at this time last year, in order to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of my life, my mother was still in the Bailubi Village and held a song of water and water for her.

On that day, almost all the girls in the boudoir of the gentry family in Jiankang City arrived.

Even the sister, who had married the Princess of Dongyang several years ago, came back from Dongyang County to celebrate her and her hairpin ceremony - the girl is regarded as the most important ceremony after the wedding in her life.

The clear stream lingers, washing your feet by the stream, laughter and joy are endless.

The scene of indulging in love and fun that day is vivid in my mind, just like yesterday.

But not long after, the things around me became annoying one after another.

First, there was news that the Xia Kingdom, who was in power in the northern Jiehu, was eyeing him and preparing for war, intending to go south to annex Jiangnan. Since the second half of last year, Gao Yun, the uncle of Xuzhou, took his cousin Gao Yin to Guangling to recruit troops to prepare for war.

Wars in the south and the north may break out at any time.

Misfortunes never come alone. At this time, the royal family, King Linchuan, rebelled again last autumn. The rebels once captured the entire Ganshui River Basin.

The Xu family, the father of Empress Xu, now Queen Xu, took the order to quell the rebellion.

The rebellion was not going very smoothly, and it has been fighting for almost half a year.

These are not finished yet. Jiaozhou, located in the southwest, is not peaceful.

In the Linyi Kingdom, which had always been attached to Dayu, there was turmoil within the royal family. King Linyi fled to Jiaozhou and asked for help from the Emperor Xingping, the uncle of the Emperor of Luoshen.

The vassal state caused chaos, and as the sect leader, Dayu naturally could not sit idly by. Emperor Xingping sent an army to help King Linyi restore order.

That army has not come back yet.

The fifteenth year of Xingping seemed destined, and it was a troublesome time.

The north, middle and south of Dayu were in chaos at the same time. As the Minister of the Central Committee, my father was in charge of the prime minister, he was in charge of the central government, assisted in the government affairs, coordinated the scheduling, and dealt with the three parties. He worked hard and worked hard, and he could imagine how much he worked.

More than once, Luo Shen saw the lights in his father's study room light until late at night. Sometimes he even spent the night with his clothes in the study room. Before dawn, he got up and went to court again.

She felt very distressed, but she had no choice but to hope that the abominable wars that men fought over and over could pass earlier.

She hoped that her father would be more relaxed. As she remembered when she was a child, she sat together with three or five friends, drinking and chatting. He had big sleeves and high shoes, elegant and elegant, and the world knew about Gao's style. Instead of being tired of court affairs all day long like now.

How long has it been since Luo Shennong smiled when he saw his father Zhan Yanshu?

This is why, after falling two days ago, she insisted on not letting her servants tell her father why she did not worry too much.

"Miss, the ferry is here."

Uncle Aqi's voice sounded.

The car door was opened, and Uncle Aqi's kind smile appeared at the car door.

Only then did Luo Shen realize that the ox cart had stopped.

Uncle Aqi personally put the little stomp on her feet for her.

The two maids who were walking with Qiongshu and Cherry came over immediately without waiting for instructions.

The Qiongshu held the God of Luo.

Cherry squatted down and held the little whisker.

In fact, Luo Shen can get off the car by himself. She can even jump steadily without even stepping on her feet.

But Uncle Aqi would not give her such a chance, not to mention that she had just slipped and fell off the swing two days ago.

The God of Luo was like this, and was taken up and down by Qiongshu and Cherry, and waited to get out of the car.

A colorful boat has been stopped at the ferry.

The God of Luo got on the boat and headed towards Bailuzhou.

Bailuzhou is located in the river bank in the west of the city. When you enter from the ferry, you have to walk a waterway in the middle. Every spring, many egrets gather on the bank, so it is named after this.

The mother of the Goddess of Luo River, Princess Qinghe, has been living in Bailubi Village in Bailuzhou for a long time, and has not entered the city.

Beizhuang was a house given to her by the late emperor. After the uncle of the Emperor of Luoshen ascended the throne, he gave her many treasures because of his close relationship with his elder sister, and his interior was decorated with luxurious interiors.

Luo Shen came here to see his mother.

She stood at the bow of the boat and looked into the direction of Bailuzhou in front of her in the wind.

The wind was a little strong on the river today, and after leaving the ferry, the boat shook a little violently.

Uncle Aqi followed her, following her firmly, as if she was still a three-year-old child who would fall into the river if she accidentally fell into the river. She kept muttering, insisting that Luo Shen go back to the cabin.

Luo Shen sighed and entered the cabin obediently.

The boat arrived at Bailuzhou, and the God of Luo took the carriage to the Bianzhuang, but his mother was not there.

The servant said she went to Ziyun Temple nearby.

Taoism is prevalent nowadays, and the Tianshi Sect is prevalent among the people. There are also believers among the gentry and royal family.

For example, the brothers of the Lu family, everyone has the word "zhi" suffixed with the word "zhi" because of the father of Jianzhi, Lu Guang, who is the father of Jianzhi.

Ziyun Temple was built by the royal palace. The temple owner Chenzi is in his fifties and is said to have a way to refine alchemy. He looks like he is only in his early forties and can also play chess and write poems. My mother has been living on the continent for a long time and often goes to Guanzhong and Chenzi to play chess and discuss Taoism.

The God of Luo had to turn to Ziyun Temple again.

The road is not far away and we arrive soon.

Xiao Yongjia was playing chess with Chenzi. When he heard that his daughter was coming, he quickly got up and came out.

Le Chenzi followed her side. When she saw Luo Shen, she threw the whisk in her hand and bowed to her with a smile, very attentive.

For some reason, Luo Shen just doesn’t like this old Taoist nun in white face.

Anyway, in this world, she doesn't have to salute even when she sees the emperor's uncle, and naturally she doesn't have to pay attention to the people she hates.

She ignored the old Taoist nun and threw herself into Xiao Yongjia's arms: "My grandma, my daughter fell two days ago!"

Xiao Yongjia is five years younger than Luo's father Gao Qiao. He gave birth to the God of Luo when he was twenty years old. He is thirty-six years old this year, but he still looks very young.

She wore a flowing Taoist robe, which made her look strangely beautiful. She stood with Luo Shen and said that she was an older sister, and someone probably believed it.

Especially compared with her father who was only forty years old and had frosty temples, her mother's youth and beauty always made Luo Shen unconsciously sympathize with her father - although she didn't know why, her mother broke up with her father to such an extent, and she openly separated for many years and refused to return to the city, so that everyone in Jiankang City joked about her father behind her back, saying that her husband was afraid of her.

This is probably the only place where my father can be teased and chewed on his back in his life.

Xiao Yongjia ignored her husband, but loved her daughter very much. He was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly hugged her: "But it's okay? Where did you fall? Why don't you send someone to tell me?"

Luo Shen said: "My daughter fell heavily and her head hurts so much today. She is afraid that her mother will worry, so she won't tell you."

Xiao Yongjia hurriedly helped Luo Shen out of the Taoist temple. The mother and daughter took a carriage back to the village, and called Gao Qi to ask carefully about the situation at that time. He knew that there was no major problem, so he felt relieved. He just scolded his daughter's personal maid Qiongshu and Cherry.

The two maids knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to admit their mistakes.

Luo Shen didn't expect that his mother would take off her anger at the maid, so he quickly interrupted. His two fleshy little hands grabbed her wide sleeve of Taoist robe and twisted: "I will be careful next time. My mother, my daughter misses you."

Xiao Yongjia then gave up and cursed Qiongshu and Cherry, who looked like earth, and touched her face with love, which was a little cooled by the wind. "My mother misses you too, and she was about to ask someone to pick you up. You happened to be here. Stay tuned for a few more days to stay with her mother, so don't go back to the city."

"My grandma, I want to be here to accompany you too. But I'm afraid it's inconvenient. Aye (father's nickname) has been sick these days."

She looked at her mother's face.

"It's not peaceful everywhere. He worked day and night and often slept in the study. I was afraid that if Aye continued like this, his body would not be able to bear it. I advised Aye, but Aye would not listen to me."

Xiao Yongjia's smile gradually disappeared and he glanced at his daughter: "You want to coax me back again? The old guy doesn't care about his life and death. What does it have to do with me? If I go back, will he be fine?"

"Aye is not an old thing"

Luo Shen pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction.

Xiao Yongjia snorted: "Don't think I don't know. Your scrupulousness is biased! If you come to see Ah Mom, Ah Mom will be very happy. If you come to coax Ah Mom back, don't think about it! Even if he dies of illness, he will have nothing to do with me!"
