Xu Yan muttered and walked back to the living room to watch TV. The news broadcast of Shudu is being shown on TV, saying that a certain place has obtained a bumper grain harvest and set a new record. Xu Yan couldn't listen to the announcer's subdued voice at all, and his attention was completely focused on the sound of water in the bathroom.

Listening to the sound of water in the shower, Xu Yan didn't have much thought in his heart, but the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger: Zhu Youxiang, what is her origin?

Although Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang have only known each other for a few hours, he feels that Zhu Youxiang is quiet and polite, and her eyes are extremely bright and smart, revealing this woman's intelligence. If she is said to have mental problems, Xu Yan really can't believe it: this girl speaks in an orderly manner, logically and politely, not like that kind of crazy person.

Well, even if Zhu Youxiang really has a mental problem, but a crazy woman, where did she get so much gold and silver? These hundreds of gold ingots, aren't they worth millions? And this costume, how did she get it?

Also, just now in the dark neighborhood, how did she deal with those ruffians?

Also, these dozens of gold and silver ingots add up, I'm afraid they won't weigh dozens of catties? She has such a heavy thing hidden on her body, and after walking a few streets, her neon dress is still flowing and light, and she can't see it at all? ……

So many inexplicable doubts gathered into Xu Yan's mind, and finally, naturally, a thought came to me irrepressibly: Could it be that this Zhu Youxiang really crossed over from the Ming Dynasty?

How is this possible?! Crossing this kind of thing, it's only in novels and TV series, how can it really exist? Even if you save zài, you won't be so lucky, just to be able to meet it, right?

Xu Yan thought about it, in a trance, in a trance, and I don't know how long it took, he heard the bathroom door open, and looked up to see that the girl had come out of the bathroom, but she had changed into a light yellow costume dress, but her hair had been scattered and draped behind her head.

Xu Yan was taken aback again, and he blurted out, "Are you...... Where did you get the clothes? "I clearly remember that she entered the bathroom empty-handed, and a long Hanfu skirt is not a trivial matter, and there is no reason why I can't see it-uh, speaking of which, where did the old clothes she wore go?

Hearing Xu Yan ask about such a private question about girls' clothes, the girl's face was slightly red, she rolled her eyes, and did not answer, but walked over and sat down on the sofa, and also stared at the TV screen with Xu Yan, intently, and couldn't take her eyes off - anyway, Xu Yan had never seen anyone who could watch the trash news of the local TV station so with such relish.

Zhu Youxiang asked with interest: "May I ask Gongzi Xu, what is this?" Who are these gentlemen who are speaking? What are they doing? ”

Xu Yan replied casually: "This is the news of Shudutai, which says that the provincial party committee and the provincial government are holding a meeting to study the new spirit of the central government in depth...... Those are all big leaders in the province, the governor and the secretary or something, anyway, it's the big officials, and I can't figure out who is who. ”

Xu Yan said "leader" and "provincial government", Zhu Youxiang couldn't figure out what it meant, but he said "big official", Zhu Youxiang immediately understood, she nodded and said: "It turns out that these people are all local court officials, no wonder they look very strict and majestic." So why don't they wear official uniforms? ”

"Official uniform? This one...... We don't think we have it. ”

"No uniforms?" Zhu Youxiang was surprised: "How can that be?" Without official robes and complements, how could the officials of the imperial court identify their ranks and ranks? If the officials do not wear official robes, how can they show the majesty of the court when facing the people under their rule? And how to distinguish between nobles and commoners?

Moreover, the place where the state government deliberates is an important place for the government, and the matters discussed are confidential to the imperial court, so how can it be made public for the world to see? Wouldn't this leak of secrets make the majesty of the imperial court lose its majesty? ”

The girl's question was really strange, Xu Yan was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say vaguely: "This ...... We've always been like this, and now we don't want to talk about the majesty of the court or anything, our officials are all called servants of the people, that is, those who are officials serve the people...... Well, that's what they said anyway. ”

"Servant?" The girl hesitated, and when she reacted, she was very surprised, and said in a lost voice: "The official of the imperial court is actually regarded as a lowly servant? ”

She shook her head repeatedly: "How can this be? It is necessary to know that the civil and military officials of the imperial court are all the best choices for a while, on behalf of the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, the auxiliary king, and the lower An Lishu, how noble the identity is! The local government reversed the nobility and the lowly, and actually put the officials under Li Shu, which really violated the discipline and morality, and lost the dignity of the imperial court -- the officials of Shuchuan Province were so chaotic, didn't their superiors care? ”

Sister, your illness is ...... again

Xu Yan stared intently at the TV, pretending not to hear what the other party said.

Xu Yan pretended not to hear it, but Zhu Youxiang refused to let him go. She asked, "Gongzi Xu, you are a local, have you heard of natural disasters recently?" ”

"Acts of God? Miss Zhu, are you talking about earthquakes and floods? A few years ago, there was a major earthquake that killed many people, and there are still aftershocks......"

The girl shook her head: "Young Master Xu, you are wrong. My so-called natural disasters are disasters caused by the invasion of monsters - has there been any news of monsters in Shuchuan Road recently? ”

Xu Yan was confused: "Monsters? What is this thing? I've never heard of it - where did it come from, how did it invade us? ”

After receiving this reply, the girl looked a little disappointed: "I didn't expect that Childe didn't even know about natural disasters and monsters...... Since Childe doesn't know, then I can only contact the local government tomorrow to inquire - may I ask Childe, where is the local government located, not far from here? ”

"Official? Which government are you looking for? Is it the neighborhood office, or the police station, or the district government of the University Park? ”

It was Zhu Youxiang who said Xu Yan didn't understand it just now, and now it's Xu Yan's turn to say that Zhu Youxiang can't understand: "Son, I see that the local city is so prosperous, the empire should set up an official government in the local area, right?" I want to find the local prefect's yamen......"

"I only know the Jincheng City Government, but I haven't heard of the Jincheng Prefect's Yamen......"

"There has never been a government in the local area to govern the people?" The girl was taken aback, and she asked urgently: "Then, is there a Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division stationed in the empire locally?" No? The Inspectorate of the Senate? Nor no? I didn't expect that the local area seemed to be prosperous, but it turned out to be so remote and disrespectful to the king...... Then the hundred and thousand households of the imperial border army should always be set up locally, right? ”

Xu Yan still shook her head, the girl was a little anxious, and she said loudly: "Xu Gongzi, it's not right!" Are you kidding me? Forty years ago, Xinshu Dao was a vassal to the empire and was included in the fetter state, and the empire ordered Jian'an Hou to lead the Nanwei to settle in and station in the state capitals; Five years ago, due to the petition of a large number of scholars in Shuchuan Province, Shuchuan Province was changed from a fetter state to a directly subordinate state, directly managed by the cabinet, and directly appointed as an official to set up a government - this is obviously on the local diary, I also deliberately reviewed it in Bailu College before leaving, I remember it clearly, so, no matter how remote the local is, the border army should also set up a hundred households, Xu Gongzi, how can you say that there is no? ”

"Miss Zhu, the more you talk about me, the more confused I become." Xu Yan rubbed his forehead painfully: "You keep talking about the empire, which empire is it?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiang immediately straightened her waist, and she said sternly: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's minister, there is only one empire, and that is my Ming Empire!" The Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty and the Senate are in charge**, ruling all directions, and Wei Zhenyu - Mr. Xu, don't you even know the empire? ”

Xu Yan looked at her tiredly, he really wanted to tell her directly, the Ming Empire in the girl's imagination had been destroyed for hundreds of years, but looking at the girl's excited and strict appearance, he was really embarrassed to say this, so he could only say euphemistically: "Xiao Zhu, you have also watched the TV news on our side for a long time, have you seen the news of the Ming Empire?" What else are the brocade guards, the senate or something, and they don't have them on TV! ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and slowly frowned.

Zhu Youxiang is also a very intelligent person, since she hit Shuchuan Road, what she has seen and heard along the way has long made her feel strange: such as the strange clothes of pedestrians, strange conversations, steel vehicles speeding on the road, towering buildings, the brilliant neon in the city, strange food, many unheard of "magic weapons", and the empire's Ming Tongbao can not be used here - these situations have made her aware that something is wrong, but she has always thought that "Shuchuan Road is the capital of the frontier fetters, The customs and customs are a little different from those of the inland state capitals of the empire, so it is not surprising" to appease himself.

It wasn't until this moment, when the young man in front of her explained that she realized that things were very different from what she imagined.

She stared at Xu Yan: "Young Master Xu, haven't you really heard of the Ming Empire?" ”

Xu Yan felt a little sad in his heart, he couldn't bear to look at the girl's frightened eyes, and shook his head slightly.

To Xu Yan's surprise, the girl did not seem to be depressed or depressed. She exhaled with relief, her eyes regained their brightness, and she even looked a little excited: "I see, it turns out that this place is a wild place that has not been blessed with the emperor's grace and has not been transformed into a king...... But in that case, why are the local natives able to speak the language of our empire? That's weird. ”
