Episode 18 (1) Dongjun

Xiao Qingran's appearance was a real problem for local officials. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Of course they know Xiao Qingran's identity, and it is precisely because they are clear that they feel even more difficult.

This prince was born as a commoner, had never participated in political affairs, knew nothing about local affairs, and was a complete layman. The king asked him to come to them as a leader and lead them, and they could not ignore them, and they could not ignore them, and they could not ignore them, for he was the king's own son. They are all optimistic about Xiao Bogong, but they are thin and sparsely populated here, and Xiao Bogong can't look down on them, so they don't bother to send people, they have no choice, they can only take one step at a time, let's see how this Xiao Qingran is, although others are not good, his father is still a king of business, and he may be able to speak for them.

But what gave them a headache was that Xiao Qingran came to walk through the motions alone, and he also brought the princess here. Other princes didn't bring their families with them when they went to the local errands. He, the princess, is not ordinary, she is the princess of the Xin Kingdom.

The process of Princess Xinguo marrying is seen all over the country. Shang attaches great importance to this marriage with Xin, and I heard that even the king has treated this princess with courtesy, almost responding, and this time she came to the king's permission. What's wrong with them in Dongjun, either no one cares about it for a long time, or they send so many people who give people a headache.

It's hard for such a couple to come to them.

……

Xiao Qingran has been in Dongjun for a while, and there are people sent by the king of Shang to help him take care of related affairs, he just needs to take a look at the side. The local officials are submissive, and they are not bad to him, and he is also relaxed.

When he came out this time, his original intention was to leave the palace and be quiet for a while, so that he didn't have to be ready to see the king of Shang at any time. However, his new princess, Yu Zimo, the princess of Xinguo, obviously has no idea of living a quiet life

Dongjun is located in a remote area, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the people live a simple and simple life, which is less than 1/10,000 compared with the capital. Can't shop, nowhere to hunt, Qingran thought that in such a place, Yu Zimo must not be able to stand it, and he will have to go to the capital if he can't stay for a few days. Qing Ran originally thought so. I guess others are like him. Who knows, Yu Zimo came to Dongjun, he didn't care about the remoteness of this place at all, and he felt very novel.

What a princess who doesn't know the suffering of the world.

"I think the courtyard walls of the place where we live are too rough and the color is not good, so you can find the local officials and ask them to send someone to rebuild them. Yu Zimo sat under the wisteria trellis in the courtyard, drinking tea while staring at the courtyard wall and shaking her head, she said to Xiao Qingran.

"This yard has been repaired exactly as you have requested. Xiao Qingran said. Because she was coming, the king specially sent someone to inform the local government to prepare in advance. Here is almost a copy of their residence in the royal palace. It's still cumbersome for the royal palace, let alone for the small East County.

Yu Zimo's pickiness about the things around him is unimaginable to Xiao Qingran. In his opinion, as long as there is this thing, and what they are using now is already the best, Yu Zimo can still find out what he is not satisfied with.

"You're just looking for someone. Yu Zimo didn't intend to let Xiao Qingran express his opinion.

"Got it. "It's useless for him to object anyway.

"You tell them to come over first, and I'll tell them what to do. ”

"Well, I'll let them know. ”

The next day, the guards came in with a man dressed as an official slave. This official slave was in charge of earth and stone construction.

"I heard that the princess doesn't like this courtyard wall, if you say something, I will definitely satisfy the princess. When the official slave saw Yu Zimo, he didn't kneel, but leaned forward slightly, which was considered a gift.

Yu Zimo looked at the official slaves brought by the guards. He was in his early twenties, with a fair complexion, small eyes, a straight nose, a pointed chin, and slightly squinted eyes when he spoke. He was wearing the clothes of an official slave, but he didn't have a sense of humility like an official slave.

"You're the official slave in charge of building the wall?"

"Yes. ”

"What's your name?"

"Lu also. ”

"Okay, Lu Ye. Yu Zimo said, "Remember, my courtyard wall should be eight feet high and one foot thick, and the bluestone of the courtyard wall should be uniform in color and size." The stones should be smooth and free of gaps. The clay used shall also be cyan. ”

"The soil should also be cyan?" When Yu Zimo said the previous request, the official slave named Lu Ye still looked relaxed, and when he heard the back, he said that the soil used to build the wall also had to be cyan, and he was a little surprised.

"Questions?"

Lu Ye shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and replied happily, "No problem." ”

"Well, in order to prevent you from making mistakes again and wasting my time, I have painted the color needed for the courtyard wall on this piece of paper, and you have built it according to the color. ”

Qing Yao handed the paper to Lu Ye. Lu also glanced at it and frowned slightly.

"Why?

"No, Princess. Lu also said, "It's just that to build the courtyard wall to this color, you need to add a lot of glutinous rice to the soil." Our place is short of supplies and food, and the only bit of glutinous rice is reserved for sacrifice. So, I'm afraid ......"

This official slave can actually see at a glance that the key to bringing out the cyan she wants. Yu Zimo's eyes moved under her eyes, and then she said quietly, "You don't have to worry about this, I have enough high-grade glutinous rice here." All you have to do is rebuild the courtyard wall as soon as possible. ”

"That being the case, there is no problem. Lu also said confidently.

"You go and prepare. ”

The guards left with Lu Ye.

After Lu Ye left, Yu Zimo called Chang Ming and asked him to investigate the situation of this official slave named Lu Ye.

Chang Ming took the order.

In the evening, Changming returned to report to the princess. This Lu also originally lived in a place called Yangliu Town on the border, and was sentenced to be an official slave for stealing the seal of a local official. During his tenure as an official slave in Yangliu Town, he helped the local officers and soldiers catch many spies from the country. Originally, he could have atonerated his merits and restored his status as a civilian, but who knows, he actually had fornications with many local officials and concubines, and was finally demoted to Dongjun to be an inferior official slave who repaired walls and paved roads.

"Interesting. Yu Zimo listened to Changming's report, and the corners of his eyes and mouth couldn't help but bend.

"Princess, this official slave is of bad character, don't see him again. Chang Ming said unhappily.

Yu Zimo didn't care about Chang Ming's words, and her expression returned to calm. She stroked the jade pendant around her waist with her fingers, thoughtfully. She said to Chang Ming and Qing Yao beside her: "You guys go down first, I want to be alone for a while." ”

Chang Ming and Qing Yao retreated together. Chang Ming asked Qing Yao in a low voice, "Why is the princess interested in an inferior official slave?" He had followed the princess for so long, and the only feeling he felt was chaos.

Qing Yao couldn't guess the princess's thoughts. However, based on the princess's expression just now, things should not be so simple.
