Early the next morning, Li Rongzhang and the others left Dazaozhuang under the watch of all their relatives, left Dazaozhuang with two book boys and two attendants, and rushed to Dafengji Pier to board a boat.
In the car, the three of them found the motion sickness medicine that Pomegranate had prepared and a bunch of things they needed for a long trip, as well as the three purses.
Looking at the banknotes inside, the three of them looked at each other, pursed their lips, and remained silent, no one spoke.
After a moment, Li Rongzhang silently opened the book box and took out a book to read.
Li Rongsheng and Li Rongtan also took out the books and read them.
When Dafengji arrived and boarded the big ship, the three people's first trip officially began.
In mid-July, news of the war in Cangzhou came back.
Changping Mansion is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so General Bai used a siege strategy to cut off the rebels' food and grass. Within half a month, the rebels in the city had no food to support them.
The time is right, Changping Mansion, which had been unable to be conquered for a long time, was finally captured. General Bai led his army into Changping Mansion, captured the rebel general Bian Hong, and killed countless rebels. All his confidants fought to the death to replace him. Li Yan fought his way out.
General Bai personally led his men to pursue him, fighting and chasing him all the way to the coast of Cang. He was about to capture Li Yan, but Li Yan jumped in and jumped in with the only remaining confidants. Across the sea.
The waters of the sea are vast and the currents are turbulent. There is almost no chance of surviving after jumping in. However, as a precaution, General Bai still sent ships out to sea to see people dead or corpses.
The ship finally found several corpses stranded on a small island, but their faces were eaten by fish and their faces could not be seen clearly. However, judging from their clothes, there was no doubt that they were Li Yan and others.
Li Yan is dead. In just three months, our army suffered countless casualties in this massive rebellion. However, in the end, there was no danger and all the rebels were finally wiped out. Cangzhou and Changzhou The two states also returned to peace.
A group of people related to the rebel Li Yan were found, and their homes were confiscated, and they were exiled, and they were implicated in countless ways——
It is said that Li Yan was not married and had no descendants. , the remnants of the country that had troubled the country for several dynasties could no longer be seen as wasted.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and the common people were also beaming with joy.
Pomegranate couldn’t believe it, Li Yan died like this?
He has been dormant for so long and has done so many things. He has raised troops in temples and has an army of 200,000. The officials in Changzhou and Cangzhou have all been replaced by his people. How can he be so thoughtful? Maybe he was beaten and defeated all the way, and finally jumped into the sea and died?
Moreover, she always felt that his sudden rise was too sudden. It started suddenly and suddenly settled down. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was a bit hasty and sloppy, not quite like Li Yan's. Style——
The most important thing is that she still wonders why Li Yan went to Tai Hospital with all his efforts.
With these doubts, Shiliu didn't quite believe that Li Yan was really dead, but if he was not dead, then whose body was found?
She didn't see it with her own eyes, so she couldn't prove that Li Yan was dead, nor could she prove that he was not dead. Her doubts could only be doubts, and she wished in her heart that Li Yan was really dead.
It's better to die, it will finally be over, and she won't have to worry every day about when someone will come to kill her or harm her family.
Guard leader Geng and others were originally hired in June, but the war was not clear at that time, so she hired them for two more months. Now that the dust has settled, there are so many escorts left. It’s also a waste of time, and besides, I have other people’s affairs to attend to.
Therefore, Shiliu immediately settled the final payment and sent Geng Biaotou and others back to Zhoucheng. He also helped send a letter to Li Rongzong along the way.
It was originally agreed that when she came back from the capital, she would take Father Li and the others to Zhoucheng to stay for a while, but because of a series of things that happened when she came back, she couldn't go. It was almost August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to be celebrated. In addition, Huang Chunni is now a month old and will give birth in less than two months, so Song will not be able to go to Zhoucheng. If she doesn't go, Li Jihe will naturally not go either.
Pomegranate simply decided to go to Zhoucheng for a short stay next spring. She wrote to Li Rongzong to tell him, and asked them to come back early this New Year. The Song family missed Brother Kang!
——Within two days, Li Rongzhang and the other two people who were traveling also returned home.
After being away for a month, the three of them lost weight and darkened their skin, but they were still very energetic.
As soon as he entered the house, Li Rongzhang took out a red-glazed chrysanthemum petal vase and gave it to Pomegranate as if he was offering a treasure: "Second sister, look! This is the vase that the three of us bought for you together. Use it to arrange flowers and put them in your house. Look at this vase, isn’t it beautiful? This is us. I caught my eye at first glance when I passed by Cijing Town."
Pomegranate couldn't help but smile when she saw that the vase was really pretty. "Have you had a good time out?"
" Okay! This is interesting!" Li Rongzhang frowned. Yicai, "I really saw the scene of the sun setting over the long river and the water and sky connecting. It was really amazing! Brother Rongsheng and I even painted!"
"Painting? "
"Draw! It’s not important, the important thing is that it’s so fun to travel! We also met a few scholars and discussed knowledge together! Second sister, we have decided to travel more in the future!”
On the side, Li Rongtan was also talking to Mr. Li about what he had seen and heard along the way. His eyes were filled with light. Obviously, the experience of going out was really good.
Li Rongfeng and Li Ronghua, who knew they were back, came here to play with them. They were very yearning to hear what they had seen and heard.
"Brother Zhang, next time you go out for a trip, can we go with you?" Li Rongfeng, who loves to play, hurriedly pulled Li Rongzhang and asked.
Li Rongzhang looked at him and said: "Brother Feng, do you also want to go out together? We are not going out for fun, but for a study tour. Do you know about study tours? The second sister assigned us a task before we went out. When we come back Everyone has to write three study tour articles!
If you want to go together next time, fine, you and Brother Hua will also take the county exam in February next year. As long as you can pass the county exam, I will I promise to take you with me!”
Li Rongfeng grimaced when he heard this, "Have you passed the county examination? Brother Zhang, you think too highly of me! Forget it, I won't go!"
"It's fun to study abroad. You really don’t want to go?” Li Rongzhang tempted him.
Li Rongfeng is really moved, but he can’t even memorize the Four Books now. Has he passed the county examination? What a dream!
Li Ronghua opened his mouth but said nothing. Although he was better than Brother Feng, he was not confident that he could pass the county examination!
Li Rongzhang was about to say something when he turned around and was patted on the head by Pomegranate, "You haven't even done it yet. How dare you call Brother Feng and Brother Hua to pass the county examination? Next year you and Brother Tan will Anyway, if you can give birth to a child, I will allow you to continue your study tour!”
After saying that, he looked at Li Rongfeng and Li Ronghua and said: "Brother Feng, brother Hua, you will also end up next year. Regardless of whether you win or not, as long as you can persist in passing the five county examinations, I will let you go on a study tour together!"< br>
“Really?” Li Rongfeng was overjoyed.
“Really.”
“Okay, okay! Sister Pomegranate, it’s settled!” Isn’t it just an exam? Don't worry about your grades, this is easy! The school has exams every month!
Pomegranate smiled slightly, Saonian, how can the school exam be compared with the county exam?
Being able to persevere through five county exams, especially those who can’t do it but still persevere, is a sign of perseverance.
It’s good to exercise your perseverance.
