"Brother, come and see, there are flying insects here!"

Hearing this soft children's voice, the villagers of Nantian Township, Qingtian County, smiled, and the hostess of the family who had just moved in took her children out to play again. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw two children, one older and one younger, about three or four years old, frolicking on the grass, who could already run freely with their little arms like tender lotus roots. The little one was only one or two years old, and he ran up and stumbled, but fortunately there was soft turf protection under his feet, and the little one fell without crying or making trouble, and got up and continued to chase his brother. Nearby, a smaller baby lay in a cradle, babbling at the blue sky and the ever-changing clouds.

Next to the cradle sat a woman, probably in her early twenties, dressed as a young woman. She wore a light-colored brocade dress, which seemed to be spread out casually on the grass, but it was very clever to cover a pair of jade feet, which led people to reverie how delicate the pair of golden lotuses should be. She wore her jet-black hair in a bun and held it in place with just an ordinary silver hairpin. Her eyebrows are lightly swept and her pink delicacy is thin, her appearance is not the kind of stunning beauty that captivates the country and the city, but her graceful and elegant temperament is more attractive than that of a charming woman. But when people stopped by her side, her deep and quiet eyes often made people dare not look at each other.

At any given time, the woman was accompanied by two young people, a man and a woman, and some sturdy nurseries were hovering around. It is said that the two young men are her younger siblings, but they are full of awe for her in their gestures, and they are really not as casual as other sisters. Presumably, this woman must have come from a wealthy family to be so pompous. Fortunately, the hostess was more polite and kind to the villagers, and funded the construction of the bridge in Nantian to pave the way, so the villagers did not reject her appearance, but only regarded her as a big family who temporarily fled to Nantian for refuge.

Nantian has a pleasant climate, the land is flat and fertile, the vegetation here grows particularly luxuriantly, the green mountains and green waters in the distance, the peaks and peaks, the green grass is flourishing, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Every time he came to the field, Xun Ying couldn't help but sniff his nose vigorously and let out an exclamation, "It's so beautiful!" ”

"What's so beautiful?" Yuan Xing sat on the ridge with a sullen face, he really couldn't see any difference between this place and other places, the same crops, rivers, mountains, forests...... If you want to say beautiful, it is not as good as those strange rockeries and carefully pruned trees in the Guogong Mansion. He was even more annoyed that Ma Xiuying secretly ran to Qingtian with the children without telling Zhu Yuanzhang. It is a trivial matter to go back to bear Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous anger, if Ma Xiuying and the child have any accidents, how can he explain to Zhu Yuanzhang, so he can only helplessly bring his subordinates to Qingtian.

The interest was disturbed, and Xun Ying said angrily: "Is your nose blocked, can't you smell the fragrance of flowers mixed with the fragrance of earth?" Are your ears so blocked that you can't hear the bird's gentle chirping? The main thing is that you are blind and can't see how peaceful the people here are. The sun rises and the sun sets, and everyone's face is peaceful and rich, which is a world of difference compared to the homeless people we have seen along the way! ”

Ma Xiuying covered her mouth and smiled: "We are here for a vacation, Yuan Xing, your boss's face will affect people's emotions." It's all out, relax. It's surrounded by mountains, so it's not going to be affected by the war, and no one is going to notice who I am, so don't be so nervous. ”

"I just said......" Yuan Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead. Confucius said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and they still provoke women, which is really asking for hardship. But the person in front of him is either a woman or a villain, who should he provoke? Hmph, it's all Liu Ji, it's not him, how could my sister come here, it's even more annoying, the old man still puts up a stinky shelf, and it is easy not to see outsiders, so they have been stranded in Nantian for a long time without making any progress.

Liu Ji, who was playing against Song Lian, shook his hand, the chess pieces fell in the wrong place, and as soon as he twisted them, Song Lian shouted: "Sir, there is no regret about the fall." ”

"No regrets, no regrets, I just saw a little spot on this chess piece and wanted to wipe it off." Liu Ji replied reluctantly.

Song Lian, Zhang Yi and Ye Chen looked at each other and smiled, it was rare that when Mr. had a "stumble", he didn't take the opportunity to kill him.

It's a pity that Jiang is still old and spicy, and after several fights, Liu Ji won the second eye, and couldn't help but sigh: fortunately, he saved the old man's face. Why do you suddenly feel uneasy while playing chess, is it because of the new Mrs. Ma?

Don't misunderstand Liu Ji's bad intentions, it's really Ma Xiuying who made too much movement after coming to Qingtian, donating money and materials, and visiting the door, making it difficult for people not to pay attention. He is not as simple as the villagers, and he always looks at people with a little speculation, and when he pays attention to a person's behavior, he will naturally find some flaws. Especially noticed that the guards around Mrs. Ma were all like soldiers on the march, and it was really suspicious that a general's family members lived in seclusion in Nantian, and I didn't know whether the arrival of this Mrs. Ma was a blessing or a curse.

Out of curiosity, the day before yesterday, he casually calculated the origin of this Mrs. Ma, who knew that not only could he not calculate the origin of the other party, but he couldn't even see the other party's fortune thoroughly. Although he is not as powerful as the "knowledge of astronomy and geography" boasted by outsiders, he is indeed proficient in Zhou Yi gossip, and he never thought that he would be confused.

"Well, you can't win sir." Song Lian picked up the chess pieces in disappointment and no longer had the confidence to play against Liu Ji.

Zhang Yi and Ye Chen are self-aware, the three of them can play against each other, but they will never take the initiative to challenge Liu Ji.

Seeing that no one was playing chess, Zhang Yi said: "Now that more than two years have passed, I see that Zhu Yuanzhang was not only not swallowed by the Yuan Court and various rebel armies, but gained a firm foothold in Yingtianfu. I have some intentions to go to him, I don't know what you think? ”

Song Lian cautiously asked Liu Ji, "What do you think, sir?" ”

Liu Ji stroked his long hair, muttered for a long time, and said: "The Yuan court is mediocre and has reached the end of the road; Han Lin'er's general trend is gone, and Song Quan does not exist; Zhang Shicheng is capricious and unbearable; Xu Shouhui exists in name only, and he is useless; Chen Youliang is ruthless and not worth deep friendship. In this way, it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is still a master, and you can also make great achievements if you follow him. ”

Zhang Yi was overjoyed, "Mr. has said so, then we will rush to Yingtianfu as soon as possible without further ado." ”

Song Lian persuaded: "Since Mr. is also optimistic about Zhu Yuanzhang, why don't you go to Yingtianfu with us?" ”

Liu Ji shook his head, he was in a different mood from Song Lian and the others.

After all, Song Lian and the others are young, conceited, and have a lifetime of talent, so how can they be unknown. Liu Ji has already passed the years of burning passion, he has suffered repeated setbacks in officialdom, and he has been quite disheartened and has no intention of pursuing a career; Moreover, he used to be an official of the Yuan court, and he has been imperceptibly influenced by orthodoxy for a long time, and now although he is not optimistic about the Yuan Dynasty, he does not want to serve the second master.
