Chapter 101: Shudi

Qiao Mingyu's uncle's family name is Zheng, and he is also a clan.
The Zheng family is strict with self-discipline, never makes mistakes in words and deeds, and has produced several generations of queens and prime ministers. The first emperor and the queen, Qiao Mingyu’s mother, were also praised by the women in the capital. It was a pity that her life was "sick".
In fact, it was only because of the increasing influence of the Zheng family. In order to suppress the family clan, the emperor deliberately let him be killed. Zheng Jia, who had lost her loved daughter, was hit hard, coupled with the appeasement of the first emperor named "Thoughtful" who withdrew his power, and has since gone into decline.
Emperor Ruidi remembered how his father emperor brazenly said that his grandfather was overly concerned about the need for recuperation, so he ripped off the other party from the position of prime minister, and then casually lost a flashy casual job.
Later, the positions of the Zheng family's boys were one after another. Either the emperor was replaced by a casual job, or the job was wrong and the position was pushed. In the end, the entire Zheng family was unable to watch except for the few casual jobs that were nice. The Zheng family elites who were dismissed "wrongly" were sent to Beijing from the beginning, and this year they were successively retrieved by Ruidi.
It's a pity that many of them lost their ambition and ambition because of years of lameness, some died of illness, some were in bad health and could not continue to enter the DPRK as officials, and some were extremely disappointed in returning to the court. The grandfather has also passed away. The uncle is not the official's material. The second uncle takes the martial arts, leaving only one uncle to return to lead the Zheng family.
"Uncle Xiao is very powerful since he was a child." Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qiao Mingyu and Gu Lian rode to Shudi, accompanied by a male guard.
Because the female guardian had reached the marriageable age, this time when the battle came back, the military had also gained. It was the time when the hundred schools asked for marriage. Most of the female guards have already set up their marriages, so naturally they can no longer run around with the princess, and the rest are almost fast. The women’s army could not have been long lasting, and most of them still had to be married.
After marrying, Xiangfu teaches children, who can run around like a man. After all, men don’t need to be pregnant or do housework.
Qiao Mingyu originally wanted Gu Lian to ride in a carriage, but Gu Lian was rougher than her. She felt annoyed to ride in a horse-drawn carriage every time she went out. She used to walk from the Wudu General Altar to the Central Plains woman, and later walked and rode horses. In the past, I had to ride in a horse-drawn carriage because of the maid and the restriction of identity. Now that she is the governor, whatever she wants, she can finally say goodbye to the carriage.
"He was very early in literacy, and he was a three-year-old noble poet and a five-year-old noble man. He used to be a talented man who moved the capital." When he mentioned his uncle, Qiao Mingyu seemed to have something to say.
Uncle Xiao is much younger than her mother. She is currently in her thirties, and is only five years older than Emperor Ruidi. Qiao Mingyu has always treated his uncle as his brother, and together with his uncle's openness and thoughtfulness, Qiao Mingyu, who was a little girl before, is even more obsessed, but only feels that it is much better than her serious face.
Gu Lian was more curious about why her young uncle would go to Shudi alone, and Mr. Zheng Lao claimed that there was no such son.
"I don't know very well." Qiao Mingyu shook his head. "Uncle Young only came back once after so many years. It was when my grandfather and grandmother died."
The two old men were very affectionate, and two days after Mr. Zheng's death, the old lady followed.
The male commander changed his individual, and the original one was transferred to be the former chief of guards, and it was considered a promotion. The deputy commander also adjusted the past, and now the two commanders are selected from the children of the Zheng family.
After the official Zheng family failed, the unwilling child followed the second uncle and guided the military officer. However, this road is not easy to go, and it is difficult to get promoted when there is no war. They had to go to the southwest to work hard. In the southwest, the Zheng family suffered from malaria, and the Zheng family folded several children there.
But there are still some people coming together, such as the two commanders today. One is Zheng Qi, the son of the second uncle, and the other is Zheng Liao, the younger brother of the tribe.
It was getting late, and the group decided to sleep in the forest temporarily. Deputy Commander Zheng Liao took a small group of people to hunt, and Commander Zheng Qi was beside the two girls.
"Cousin, sit down." Qiao Mingyu doesn't pay attention to identity.
Zheng Qi nodded and sat down by the fire.
All the way from Huaijing to Shudi, they have been away for almost a month. Quickly whip, you can reach Shudi in more than a month. The temperature in autumn and winter in Shu is higher than that in Huaijing, but it is often rainy or sunny. After entering the land boundary of Shuzhong, the special raincoat and sunscreen are taken out and placed in a convenient location.
Others do not know why, but they also learn from it.
Gu Lian pinched Qiao Mingyu's chin carefully for a long while to confirm that there was no sunburn before letting go.
The sun here may not be as intense as the summer of Huaijing, but the ultraviolet rays are more powerful. People who are slightly allergic to ultraviolet rays can feel itchy after five minutes of exposure.
"I'm okay," Qiao Mingyu said babblingly, but he passed his hand honestly, and there was no clothes to cover it.
Gu Lian gave her a funny look, and really pinched her hand to examine it carefully.
"What is this?" Gu Lian suddenly frowned when she saw a small bag.
Bao Sheng was on Qiao Mingyu's finger, red, like a small particle. Qiao Mingyu shook her head. Where did she know why the bag was long, but she couldn't help but scratch her hand.
"Itch?" Gu Lian immediately took out a bottle of ointment from her arms. "What kind of insect bite should it be? I'll apply some anti-itch ointment to you, and it will be fine in a day."
There are many insects in Shudi. She just didn’t need to prevent it as soon as she entered Shudi yesterday. Anyway, the ordinary insect repellent powder in the hands of the commander is also very effective. She seems to be careless now. The insects here are very fine, and there are more types, so she has to make them by herself.
Cousin Zheng suddenly felt his eyes hurt. He silently opened his eyes and broke the ambiguous atmosphere with a loud voice.
"We have entered the land of Shu, and the following road will be more difficult to walk, but it seems that after three more days of walking, we can reach the uncle."
After the uncle was found, he naturally would not continue to live in the broken cave. Local officials personally picked up a mansion and invited him to stay. Although the water has receded, the furniture has been soaked in water for many days and is temporarily uninhabitable. Because they were going to the capital, the servants packed away everything they could pack up, and most of them were sold off, leaving gold and silver for spare.
Qiao Mingyu was a little excited, and she could see her uncle in three days.
Gu Lian took a sip of water and told him, "The Shu Road is harder to go than you think. Don't care. I know that your cousin spent some time in the Southwest, but there is still a big difference from the Shu Land."
Zheng Qi is accustomed to Gu Lian following Qiao Mingyu to call his cousin. Although he is surprised at the relationship between the two, he is not a busy person. There are also rumours in Huaijing about the ambiguity of the master of the country and the emperor, so that the princess and the master of the county do not care much.
"Huangxiong said to build roads." If the official road was repaired, Shudi would not be so difficult to leave.
Gu Lian said with a smile: "How can it be so easy."
The repair of official roads in the plain area is very expensive, not to mention the piece of Shu land. In some places, roads are to be built, and in ten or eight years, don't try to build a road.
Ruidi is an aspiring person, but unfortunately reality constrains his ambition. He hasn't succeeded in abolishing the women's school so far, and he can only think about road construction.
There are too many people around, Qiao Mingyu wants to be close to him, but he can't do anything. Although the men in the men's guards can be trusted, the intimacy in front of others is too unrestrained, and Qiao Mingyu can't do it. It doesn't matter if Gu Lian is the same, she still cares about Qiao Mingyu when she cares about her, and she is naturally open-minded. Later, Qiao Mingyu has learned a lot, but she still can't let go.
"It would be nice if you took a carriage." Qiao Mingyu leaned over and whispered on her shoulder.
So what she did in the carriage was invisible to everyone.
Gu Lian demolished the stage: "They can hear it."
"..." Qiao Mingyu's ears turned red, "Listen, listen, what's the big deal!"
Gu Lian stretched her hand to attack her chest, and was quickly stopped by her eyes, glaring angrily.
Gu Lian looked at her innocently: "Are you afraid of being heard or are you afraid of being watched?"
Qiao Mingyu was speechless.
In her life, she had no choice but to take care of Gu Lian. Her ranks were different. She was a big-name gangster. She was a trumpet just after graduation.
Zheng Liao came back with a pheasant in hand, and smiled when he saw the three people sitting by the fire: "There is a bamboo forest in front of you, guess what I saw?"
"Tapir." Gu Lian replied calmly.
Tapirs are pandas. This is an ancient name. Tapirs of later generations are actually completely different from pandas.
Zheng Liao, who wanted to show off, suddenly deflated: "The master knows everything..."
Shudi is best known for the broken leg fort in Tangmen and the cute little ones there. Who doesn’t know Datang? Gu Lian also raised one, and later gave it to a friend of Tang Men to help raise it, because she licked the blood at the edge of the knife all the year round, she really had no energy to take care of this little guy.
Qiao Mingyu had heard of the tapir but had never seen the tapir. At most, he had seen the wood carving of the tapir given to her by her uncle. The color of the wood carving is vivid and very cute.
I heard that there are tapirs here. Qiao Mingyu couldn't sit still and wanted to see it.
"Eat first." Gu Lian pulled her.
Although pandas are cute, they are not as harmless as they look. Especially this wild, it is fierce.
"Oh..." Qiao Mingyu was discouraged and sat back desperately, staring at Zheng Liao as they dealt with game.
Gu Lian squeezed her face, and took a pheasant to roast. Qiao Mingyu's eyes lit up, and Alian baked it himself!
The author has something to say: Can you feel the despair of a hard-shelled black worm five centimeters long and one centimeter wide that suddenly fell out of my hair one day when I was studying in Shudi? Especially the thief that the bug runs will fly soon. I screamed and shot it all the way, and my glasses were scared...
