In the middle of the moon, the carriage finally arrived on the edge of the Spring River. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao Baoer lost her martial arts, so she could only stretch her arms in the car, kick her legs, and do some simple stretching exercises, for fear that she would not be able to climb up if she accidentally fell into the water.

The coachman got the order, and as soon as she stopped by the river, she couldn't wait to jump down, eager to know if Yan Xingdan was really as Yao Xitong said, so that she could walk on the river as if she were on the ground.

Yao Xitong didn't get out of the car, he wrapped his body tightly and leaned against the wall of the car to recuperate.

The black river was endless, and Xiao Baoer ran towards the opposite bank for a long time without falling into the water. was about to sigh at Yan Xingdan's magic, but the facts that suddenly came to her mind made her fall to her knees, and then she cried like Liu Lang.

After a cup of tea, she climbed into the carriage and sat quietly opposite Yao Xitong without saying a word.

The coachman continued to hurry, the frozen river was a great test of the coachman's driving skills, from his frequent commands, it can be heard that the horses pulling the cart are old horses, and the steward of the Chen Lord's Mansion decided to be instructed by Gao Wenyu to send such a coachman who dared to drive across the river in the middle of the night.

The wind rose, the moon was covered by clouds again, Xiao Bao'er grew so big, for the first time she felt that she was pitifully stupid, and she actually believed Yan Xingdan in Yao Xitong's mouth.

Running on the river before, she thought it was Yan Xingdan's effect, but after thinking about it, this had nothing to do with Yan Xingdan. I was able to run on the river because the river was frozen, and the spring river, which was able to ferry boats earlier, froze, froze!

In other words, Yan Xingdan is Yao Xitong's fictitious pill, and there is no such miracle medicine in the world that can make people fly across the river if they eat it. The guy dared to set up a note because it was clearly written on the note that after taking Yan Xingdan for a month, it was guaranteed that the person taking the medicine would be able to walk on the surface of the Chunjiang River.

time, a month, because a month before the spring river has not frozen.

Location, Chunjiang, except for Chunjiang, Yao Xitong does not guarantee that other rivers will freeze.

Smart but was mistaken by smart, she thought that Yao Xitong would not dare to lie to her if she set up a note, how did she know that Yao Xitong would not like to set up a note. It can make her strengthen her confidence and pay for medicine. It can also have a binding effect on her, once she finds out that she has been deceived, there is a written evidence as evidence, and she can't rely on it if she wants to cheat.

What is a dumb person who can't say what it means to eat Coptis chinensis, what does she say about this kind of thing, saying it will only make people laugh!

It was easy to dissipate her anger, she leaned into Yao Xitong's ear and whispered, "This revenge is not revenge, it is not a gentleman." ”

"Since you call yourself a gentleman, let me test you. 'The third gentleman and Taoist, I am incompetent, the benevolent are not worried, the knower is not confused, and the brave are not afraid. Do you know what it means?" "Angry people don't pay for their lives, it's Yao Xitong's character.

Xiao Bao'er took several deep breaths, suddenly pulled away the box that had been sitting next to him, lifted the curtain and threw it out.

Yao Xitong's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Do you know what was thrown out?"

Xiao Bao'er smiled proudly, the thing was given by Liu Lang, a cardboard box the size of a book. She guessed that it was either paper and ink or ancient books, and the two touted each other for a whole afternoon, and she really couldn't think of anything she could give if she didn't give this before leaving.

"My stinky salmon! I remember that you haven't tasted it, so I specially asked Liu Lang for it, but it's gone!"

Hearing this, Xiao Baoer was extremely depressed.

In the morning, I had an empty stomach, and I couldn't stand the smell, but when I came back to my senses, I kept thinking about it, always thinking about whether the stinky food was really delicious! Looking at the black ice, the stinky salmon would definitely not be able to be found, would it really be missable to be delicious?

She didn't cry when she was cheated of a hundred taels of silver to buy Yan Xingdan, but the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and she looked at Yao Xitong aggrievedly, "Have you asked Liu Lang how to make this dish?"

"Nope!"

"What then?"

"Self-taught, can a genius like me be stumped by a dish?"

Xiao Baoer smiled, as beautiful as spring flowers blooming.

Yao Xitong also smiled, people are stupid and coaxed, why didn't he meet this girl earlier.

"I forgot to ask you, how much money did you spend last time to buy me a coat at the pawnshop? ”

"Xiaoxiao, where did you get the money to pay me back?

"I have a jade pendant, it's almost enough to go out, this dress doesn't exceed a hundred taels, right?"

One hundred taels! The best mink fur was worth a hundred taels, did she have a brain? Besides, could this garment be bought with money? It took him years to collect enough mink fur to make a garment!

After careful calculation, Yao Xitong suddenly felt that he had lost money, material resources, and energy spent on Xiao Baoer during this period exceeded the bottom limit of his dedication to people.

Xiao Bao'er secretly looked at Yao Xitong's face, and when she saw her distressed appearance, she secretly laughed. What is the jade pendant and the silver, it is all said to anger Yao Xitong.

At noon on the second day, the two finally returned to Zhongling County.

Xiao Baoer looked up at the plaque of the county government "Zhengda Guangming" actually crumbling, and finally realized what was going on in Xiao Huafang's mouth.

The Great Xia was divided into feudal princes, and the officials of their territories were all appointed and dismissed by Xia Zi. At the same time, the dispatched officials were only responsible to the lord of the vassal state, and if the prince was dissatisfied with these officials, he could report to the Son of Heaven for appointment and dismissal.

Xia Zi wanted to send officials to prevent the rebellion of the princes in various places, but he was also unwilling to bear the burden of these officials. It feels like it's one person who gives you a job and someone else who pays you a salary.

To put it simply, after Yao Xitong took office, he reported to Gao Wenyu for work, but he had to find Da Xia Zi to receive his salary.

Under this system, the incoming officials only cared about their own purses, and had no intention of repairing the yamen. The requirements of the princes and lords for officials are also relatively simple, pay enough taxes, don't cause trouble, and get along with each other's faces.

As for whether the yamen can still live in people, that is the matter of the king of Xia, and the lords of the princes have no such obligation.

Their duties were to share military obligations for the Xia king, such as sending troops to defend Wangji or accompanying the king on expeditions, making regular pilgrimages and paying various tributes, including local products, population, and captives, and often sending laborers to serve the royal family.

The former county magistrate thought they would arrive yesterday evening, waited for a night and didn't see anyone, and went to eat with his staff at noon.

Yao Xitong was not in a hurry to hand over, and casually walked around the county office. When she walked to the house in the backyard, Xiao Bao'er looked at the room full of dust and cobwebs, and asked uncertainly, "Do we really want to live here?"

Yao Xitong casually picked up the withered yellow weeds and quipped: "Princess, you once swore that you would be a firewood and rice couple with me, so you are afraid of such a little difficulty?"

Xiao Bao'er looked at the backyard again, rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the well.

The house is leaking, don't be afraid, repair can still live. The yard is overgrown with weeds, don't be afraid, just pull it out...... Seeing that she was so diligent, Yao Xitong pretended not to see anything, and only said: "I'll go to the front and wait for the handover, you can play by yourself for a while!"

It was dark early in winter, and Xiao Baoer felt that it was only afternoon, and the gloomy sky looked like night. She poured the well water with ice floe from the bucket to the ground, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and after some cleaning, the house was habitable.

Yao Xitong happened to see her wiping her sweat when she came back, and when she saw her whole face full of bells and whistles, she couldn't help but say: "I have asked the crow to find a place to live around, and the princess is so diligent in cleaning here, is it because she wants to live alone?"

Xiao Bao'er opened her mouth wide without any image, and it took a while to understand what Yao Xitong was talking about. She shouted angrily: "Yao Xitong, you dead turtle, see how I clean you up......"

She forgot that there was water on the ground, that the water had turned into ice in such a cold sky, and that she had no martial arts now...... The result of running was very cruel, only to hear the sound of "ah", Yao Xitong didn't have time to pull, she fell to the ground on all fours.

"Hahaha", Yao Xitong laughed loudly, "Xiaoxiao, you look like a turtle, do you want me to help you turn it over?"

Xiao Bao'er felt that this was the darkest moment of her life, she was a princess, the most noble princess in this land, but now she could only ask Yao Xitong for help.

She said with teary eyes, "Hug!"

The crow found a place near the county office, and deep in the quiet lane, you can clearly hear whether the drum in front of the county government is being beaten.

The residence is a small independent courtyard, and the gray-white walls of the front yard still have the shadow of creeper growing luxuriantly in spring. On the ground paved with green bricks, there is a huge feng shui tank, in which several goldfish are swimming happily.

Behind the fish tank is a white wall, the house is built into a concave shape, the main hall to welcome guests is in the center, and there are several side rooms on each side.

There is a small patio between the wall and the main hall, a stone table, and a few plants that are stubbornly wrapped around the vine trellis can occasionally be seen on the rattan trellis, which have not been blown away by the cold wind for the time being. If you come here in summer, the rattan trellis and the stone table must be a good place for the previous owner to enjoy the coolness.

There is also a courtyard at the back of the house, because it is too close to the mountain, the courtyard is full of dead branches and leaves, and it looks very barren.

Yao Xitong knocked on the door with Xiao Bao'er in his arms, and with the crow's surprised eyes, he said calmly, "When you meet a patient on the road, you go to the main street to get me some medicine for bruises." ”

After that, he winked his eyes at the crow, and the latter said, "My subordinates will do it!"

Hearing the footsteps of the crow's departure, Xiao Bao'er lifted her head from Yao Xitong's arms and let out a long breath! Seeing her like a cat's face, Yao Xitong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, for fear of getting in a hurry, and this person was playing tricks like he had in the county government before.

At that time, Xiao Bao'er shouted at him, "Hug!" He didn't start in disgust, and let Xiao Bao'er get up by herself.

The latter stared at him for a while, and then suddenly burst into tears, still the same kind of terrible cry, crying and calling out to his father...... He was frightened, this is what a princess should look like? When he shook his head, he vaguely heard the servants in the front yard rushing towards him.

"Don't cry, I'll pick you up!"

He said that he was about to hug Xiao Bao'er, but unexpectedly, this person played a new trick, rolled to the side and continued to cry, crying while saying, "I want to eat stinky salmon!" He understood, this was a trick, and he was tragically relied upon.

What to do in the face of a scoundrel? Either be more of a scoundrel than a scoundrel, or ignore it.

It's impossible to ignore it.

is more scoundrel than Xiao Baoer...... He looked at the slippery and muddy ground, and then looked at Xiao Bao'er's embarrassed look, he really couldn't do it!

"Okay, stinky salmon, I'll make it for you in a few days. ”

"No, I'm going to eat it tomorrow. ”

Yao Xitong spread his hands, even if he had great ability, he could not promise that he could quickly ferment a fish and make it into a dish without fish.

"Stinky salmon fish has to be marinated and fermented for three days at the earliest, and then made for you to eat three days later. The officials in front of you are rushing here, and if they see you like this, you can find a way to go back in a while. ”

Xiao Bao'er sobbed and said "Okay", Yao Xitong picked her up reluctantly, only to find that the ground was really cold, and she didn't even wear a coat and rolled around.

"Why don't you wear a coat, it's not cold?"

"You bought the clothes with money, and you are reluctant to wear them when you work, for fear of breaking your heart. ”

Yao Xitong loved to listen to this, and looked at the courtyard that she had cleaned, and faintly felt a little guilty. couldn't help but say, "People are more important than clothes, not to mention that you are a princess, nothing in the world can be more important than you." ”

"What if I'm not a princess?"

"It's still you who matter!" As soon as the words came out, Yao Xitong felt that something was wrong, how strange was Xiao Bao'er's question.

"Go back in a while and don't let the crow know it's me, shame!"

Now I feel ashamed, why did I go earlier? Yao Xitong was really curious about what Xiao Bao'er had in her head!

"Princess, I'll come back with you, who else can you be holding the person who is holding it?"

Xiao Bao'er had just stopped sobbing, and when she heard him say this, her eyes turned red again, and tears kept rolling in her eyes.

Yao Xitong sighed, "I'll find a way to explain to him, anyway, the person holding it is not you." ”

Hearing this, the person who was still crying before smiled in a blink of an eye, and changed his face faster than the sky. Yao Xitong found out that Xiao Baoer actually had two little tiger teeth, and she was very cute when she smiled!

"Childe, the old slave has finally waited for you......"

He Bo took the broom, and out of which corner came out.

Xiao Bao'er hurriedly buried her head back in Yao Xitong's arms, and was curious to know how Uncle He would be okay, she arched into the crook of Yao Xitong's arm, just to drill a crack to take a good look.

Yao Xitong felt that he was holding a cat, a restless cat, and in order to make the cat obedient, he said, "Uncle He, it's okay if you're okay." Go boil the bath water first, and remember to put ginger and safflower in a hurry...... We'll talk about it in a moment. ”

"Xiaoxiao, if you don't want to get sick, just take a bath, but what do you want to ask Uncle He?"

"Nope. ”

"Not curious how he escaped?"

"Didn't the crow say it, the mountain bandits came prepared, Uncle He is just an old man who has no threat, why harm him?"

Yao Xitong rubbed Xiao Bao'er's hair, she liked her character that more things are better than less things, and lies can be saved.

In the backyard, Uncle He's stiff back was already straight, and before he could speak, Yao Xitong asked first: "Let you hide in the dark, but you disappeared without a trace, where have you been these days?"

He Bo's wrinkled old face added a trace of sadness, earlier he did follow behind Yao Xitong, and when he learned that the crow was willing to be driven away by Yao Xitong, he left Zhongling with peace of mind and was in a hurry to deal with the matter of the bun shop.
