When the group of three people arrived at the gate of the city, they saw that the pedestrians and merchants who wanted to enter the city had already lined up at the gate on the right, and the long and winding line was like a snake waiting for the officers and soldiers to check.

"Hey, hey!" Zheng Baocai was the first to jump off the donkey cart and walked straight towards the city gate: "Brother, you wait here first, and my brother will take a look at the front." ”

Ye Miancheng ate the meal made by his mother at Zheng Baocai's house, and drank two sips of wine, and now when the wind blows, he feels that his stomach is flickering and wants to vomit!

His brows were deeply locked, and he got out of the car in pain, rubbing his stomach with both hands, looking at Zheng Baocai's back with his shoulders swaying away, and couldn't help asking: "How old is the surname Zheng, why do you call me brother?" ”

Yue Xi was also staring at Zheng Baocai's back, and after listening to Ye Miancheng's words, he replied casually: "I think Brother Zheng came to see that you were born with tender faces, so I called you brother." ”

"That's right!" Ye Xian Ling was deeply impressed by Yue Xi's evaluation, he walked in front of Yue Xi and blocked her sight, frowning and speaking in a voice full of joy: "Niangniang......"

Yue Xi withdrew his gaze and glared at him.

"Hey, hey! Brother Yue! Ye Miancheng didn't wear an official robe, and immediately revealed his squirrel, bowed down to Yue Xi and said: "My master also said that my face was tender, and said that if I didn't dare to lack morality, I would look like a good person." ”

Yue Xi raised her hand expressionlessly, stabbed him open with a small wooden stick driving a donkey, and glanced at the city gate again, she always felt that something big had happened in the imperial capital this time, otherwise she would not have made such a big move The four gates guarded.

Ye Miancheng was stabbed aside, Yue Xi stared ahead, he stared at Yue Xi, and after looking at it for a moment, he said to himself: "I'm glad, why is Brother Yue a woman!" ”

His emotion was heartfelt, without any lustful elements, but it still caused Yue Xi to turn his head to face him, his eyes were extremely cold, like a knife, and Ye Miancheng was so shocked that he quickly moved away from her.

Although yesterday Ye Xianling got on Yue Xi's donkey cart with a face, but yesterday he couldn't let go of his master in his heart, and now that he knows Ye Qiu's whereabouts, his uneasy mood has gradually calmed down, and now he has the leisure to see others.

At this time, Yue Xi had already changed out of her cotton robe, although the color of her clothes was still jet black, but it was the color that ordinary people would wear, and she was free and easy to wear!

Because she is tall and thin, she does not have many women's characteristics, and Yue Xi's temperament can be regarded as calm and open-minded in ancient times, it is difficult to see a little bit of a woman's weakness and squeamishness from her. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, she is more like a well-behaved, neat and handsome young man!

is neatly cleaned up inside and out, so she is so clean that it is cold.

Ye Miancheng was afraid of Yue Xi in his heart, but he still couldn't help but stare at her, Yue Xi only pushed him away from him, and saw that he was not blocking his sight, so he ignored him and let him watch.

Ye Miancheng looked at it for a while, and then he had some thoughts in his heart: This time I have to coax the master when I go back. Then say that you will make him a few black robes to wear! People in the world say that people in brocade robes look rich, but I see that the momentum of the lady wearing ink-colored clothes is not bad......

The county magistrate's mind deserted, and his injured head began to imagine that the master was wearing a black long shirt, and he was hanging around in the inner hall empty without even wearing a shirt and pants inside, and the more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became, he couldn't help laughing twice, and swallowed his mouth full of saliva, and when he came back to his senses, the donkey cart around him was gone!

Ye Miancheng was so shocked that he hurriedly turned around to look for it, and immediately lost his leisure and thought about those who didn't.

Zheng Bao arrived at the gate of the city, found a familiar catcher and said a few words, then stood in place and waved his hand to Yue Xi, signaling her to hurry over.

She drove the donkey cart to the bottom of the city gate cave, and the magistrate behind her had already chased after her like a horse: "Yue ...... Mountain...... Childe, you left me behind......"

"These two are my brothers! Look at ......" Zheng Baocai saw that everyone had arrived, so he pointed at Yue Xi and Ye Miancheng, and the head catcher, who was thin and small but not small, first looked at Yue Xi, and then looked at Ye Miancheng, stunned......

"Lord Zhixian?" He crossed Zheng Bao in three or two steps before he came to Ye Miancheng and nodded and said, "You don't remember me?" ”

Ye Miancheng ran all the way to the point where his heart was about to bang out of his mouth, he pressed his hands on the flatbed, and his eyes stared straight at the man standing in front of him wearing a fast catcher robe, and he also felt a little familiar.

It's just that he struggled to speak breathlessly, and after a while, he opened his mouth: "Who are you?" ”

He is a seventh-rank official with a head, a face and a rank, so naturally he will not take a gatekeeper seriously.

"I used to be on an errand with you...... You personally recommended me to be here on an errand! Seeing Ye Miancheng was like seeing a relative, it was extremely cordial, and he hurriedly let him go: "You go in first, it's inconvenient to talk here......

As soon as he said this, Ye Miancheng immediately remembered that this person had indeed been a team leader under him in the past.

It's just that this thing is very close to Ye Qiu, and he drills into the master's house when he has nothing to do, which makes him very tired of watching it.

It just so happened that an official document was issued in the imperial capital, asking the local government to recommend a few reliable yacha to be transferred to the imperial capital, and Ye Miancheng was the first to recommend him!

Unexpectedly, this kid was so blessed by misfortune that he went to the gate to see the city gate, which was something that no one expected.

Look at the city gate with a lot of oil and water, and the merchants who come and go casually touch a handful of oil on both hands!

This head catcher is really grateful to Ye County Order from the bottom of my heart! Thinking that the other person has the grace of knowing him......

Yue Xi and Zheng Baocai entered the city, stood by the city gate, and looked at the two people who were chatting happily not far away, and also whispered: "It's really unseemly, my brother actually looked away, I didn't expect to beat up a county lord yesterday!" ”

The big man was beaten! ”

"He deserves this beating." Yue Xi thought of the circle of tears in Ye Qiu's eyes and said softly, "Brother Zheng played well!" ”

"Brother, I also think it's not bad!" Seeing that Ye Miancheng and the head catcher had finished talking and were walking over with their heads raised and chested, Zheng Baocai whispered: "With his virtue of shaking his head and tail, brother, I want to beat him when I see it!" ”

Yue Xi pursed his lips and smiled, don't look too far.

"Brother Zheng." The two got into the donkey cart again, and Ye Miancheng leaned over and asked Zheng Baocai, "What was that person's surname just now?" I borrowed money from him......

"......" Yue Xi couldn't help but want to look up at the sky again.

"Go all the way ......" Zheng Baocai is considered a tyrant in the west of the city, and he offended people when he grabbed land in the past, so now he doesn't dare to put his home in the city, he would rather walk more alone, but also ensure the safety of the family.

But as Yue Xi thought, people like them must be cunning rabbits.

After twisting and turning, the donkey cart stopped in front of the yard of a small household, Zheng Bao got out of the car, took out the key from his body and opened the door, and let Yue Xi drive the donkey cart directly into the yard.

"Brother Yue, according to what our brothers discussed last night, you and I will make a move, the one who wins will have to be treated, if my brother wins, brother, you will buy my father another ten jars of good wine!"

Before entering the courtyard, Zheng Baocai rolled up his arms and sleeves to fight, and said to Yue Xi excitedly.

"That's natural, since you have already gambled on winning and losing, you should be willing to gamble if you lose." Yue Xi walked around the small courtyard slowly, pushed open an unlocked door, she looked inside, and saw a dirty and dilapidated shelf bed with bedding spread out, and the room was faintly filled with the smell of Zheng Baocai's stinky feet......

"Brother Zheng stays here?" She asked casually.

"No score." Zheng Baocai walked over and opened the doors and windows of the three main houses in the courtyard, and dispersed the moisture in the house: "There is a lot of trouble at noon, so I will come here to rest, and my brother will have to stay at home at night no matter what, otherwise, my father can scold me for not bringing the same for three days!" ”

"Brother, there must be a sequence in this matter, which of us do you think we will start first?"

"The elders come first, so naturally my brother invites first." Yue Xi knew that he wanted to show his skills in front of him beautifully, so he happily gave him this opportunity.

Anyway, no matter who wins in the end, the benefits will be lost by her, as long as she buys the Chu family's old mansion!

In the middle of the night last night, Zheng Baocai and Ye Miancheng both hung up their colors after a fight, and they became brain-dead people together, and after the fight, these two people reconciled as before, and helped Yue Xi take down the old mansion of the Chu family together.

After Zheng Baocai said a few things, it was Ye Miancheng who said yes, but Yue Xi shook his head.

So Zheng Baocai wanted to compete with Yue Xi, and they all went to deal with Liu Ju's family, whoever first got the Chu family's old mansion over, and couldn't spend more silver than the market price to win!

"I'm betting!" Ye Miancheng took out a small silver ticket from his arms and shook it in front of Yue Xi and Zheng Baocai: "Bet on Yue Gongzi to win!" ”

"You're just waiting to lose all your pants!" Zheng Baocai saw that the county magistrate who had been standing at his side temporarily defected, quite despised by his character, he looked up and saw that it was too seductive, and hurriedly walked out: "Don't hesitate, if it's late, it will change, let's start tonight!" I'll go out and get ready. ”

Leaving the two of them in the courtyard, Zheng Bao went out alone.

Yue Xi first walked around a few rooms in the small courtyard before asking Ye Miancheng, who was poking in a daze in the courtyard: "What happened in the imperial capital, why did so many officers and soldiers increase at the city gate to check the pedestrians?" ”

"Say it......" Ye Miancheng thought about it sideways, and muttered to himself: "Just now the surname Zheng said that what did that head catcher come from?" ”

"Lee." Yue Xi felt that Ye Miancheng had smashed his head by Ye Qiu, and his memory was a little bad......

"That's right! Li Zhutou said that General Zhaoyi's counterinsurgency squad had returned to the DPRK, and this battle was two years! He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Labor and money!" ”

"And it's still the prince of our Jokhang royal family......"

"The above is afraid that the rebels will infiltrate the city, so they have been strictly investigated these days, especially the people on the Dongyi side who are directly imprisoned once they are found......"

"Now the city has also strengthened its garrison......"

Ye Miancheng was chattering about the news she had just heard from Li Zhutou, but there seemed to be something in Yue Xi's mind that she wanted to remember, but she couldn't remember it......

"General Zhaoyi...... The name seems to have been heard somewhere. Yue Xi leaned on the edge of the door frame of the main house with his hands on his chest and muttered to himself.

Ye Miancheng shut up.

Seeing a monster, he walked around in front of Yue Xi twice, and then he pointed to his head and said, "Niangniang, did you kick the donkey in the brain?" ”

"Huh?" Yue Xi stood up straight and began to roll up his sleeves, looking like he was going to make a move on the county commander!

"Don't!" Although Ye Miancheng was not afraid of Yue Xi's attack on him, the problem was that he didn't dare to fight back, so he had to avoid her: "Isn't General Zhaoyi the son of the Prime Minister's family, your brother-in-law Han Yangchun!" ”

"......" No wonder he can't think of it.

Han Yuexi is a concubine, and Han Yangchun and Han Huachao are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother. Han Yuexi's mother had an eccentric temper, and she moved out of the prime minister's mansion with her when she was very young, and the mother and daughter lived alone in Taichangju, and even the prime minister rarely stepped into his wife's house.

"This family is going to be reunited...... "A cloud of anger arched inexplicably in his heart, and Yue Xi couldn't really beat the magistrate, so he sneaked into the kitchen to brush the pot and burn the fire: "Come in with a bucket of water." She shouted to the county magistrate who had come to me outside the door.

"You say, can I do anything other than being an official?" Ye Miancheng really carried a bucket of water into the kitchen, but it was just his robe

It's just that the front hem of his robe and the two sleeves are drenched with water, and at first glance it is not good to work, even from the well to get buckets of water up.

Yue Xi boiled a pot of hot water, washed out a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and went into the house to find the teapot and tea leaves, she made a pot of tea, and was about to pour a cup for Ye Miancheng, so he quickly took the teapot: "Don't dare...... Can't...... I'll pour it for you! ”

"Didn't you donate money as an official, and you won't do it before you finish this term, so isn't your silver spent in vain?" Yue Xi took a sip of the hot tea and moistened his throat.

"In that shabby place in Cixian, the people are all Diao people! Anyway, I can't fight them, and it's going to be difficult to get silver out of these people. Ye Miancheng sat on the opposite side of the square table, sighed and said, "Almost all of the silver I left was given to the master to go home for emergency relief, and I didn't plan to come back." ”

"But Niangniang, look at my master's stupid appearance, in his eyes, there are no bad people and evil people in this world!"

"No, no!" Yue Xi hurriedly shook his head: "In Ye Qiu's eyes, you are a bastard who is worse than the wicked and worse than the wicked!" ”

"......" The county commander choked and was speechless for a while.

"My master was deceived by me, I have to feed him!" After a while, Ye Miancheng continued: "But in the current appearance of Dazhao, I really think that there is no oil and water to be fished out of being a petty official. ”

"As a big official, I don't have that ability." Ye Miancheng's opinion of himself was very objective, and Yue Xi nodded secretly at this point.

"Marrying a man and marrying a man to dress and eat, the master followed me, I can't survive death or hunger, I can't live like this anymore......"

"I'm thinking about ......" He glanced at Yue Xi: "I resigned, will I work with you?" ”

Ye Miancheng saw that Yue Xi wanted to buy a house, or a big mansion in the imperial capital, so he thought that she often walked around outside, and she had a way to make a fortune, so she had the heart to join the family.

"Whew!" Yue Xipi sneered without smiling, looked at Ye Miancheng and said, "You two are not stupid!" We're ready to eat Lao Tzu together, aren't we? ”

"I'm sorry, there are no idlers in the palace!"

Yue Xi rejected Ye Miancheng in one bite, and the two of them waited in the small courtyard until it was dark, Yue Xi also went out to a nearby restaurant to buy a table of food and came back, Zheng Bao only entered the door: "Let's see my brother tonight, if it is done, brother, you hurry up and negotiate a suitable price, let's buy the Chu family's old house back, this matter is practical!" ”

"Hmm." Yue Xi nodded.

Because they had to go out to run errands at night, the three of them only ate and did not drink a sip of wine, and after dinner, they separated from the room and squinted for a while......

Yue Xi opened the door, there was no light in the small courtyard, and he could vaguely see two men each carrying a pocket and talking to Zheng Baocai in a low voice.

After a moment, Zheng Bao beckoned to Yue Xi and Ye Miancheng, motioning for them to follow him.

Late at night, it was dark and there was no light, and most people had blown out the lights to rest at this time. Only from a distance came a half-sound of a dog barking from time to time.

Following behind the two men, several people deliberately walked against the wall, and no one spoke at this time.

Walking silently all the way to the street of the Chu family's old house, Zheng Baocai stopped at the mouth of the alley, and stopped Yue Xi, who was still going forward: "Let's just watch here, those two people are my brother's subordinates, and they are very clever......"

So Yue Xi and Ye Miancheng also hid at the corner of the alley, only to watch the two black shadows sneakily walk to the door of Liu Ju's house, the two black shadows stopped at the same time, squatted on the ground and took the burden in their hands, just outside the courtyard wall of the Chu family's old house, they trotted in a crooked circle, and threw things into the yard from time to time!

"What's that?" It was too dark, and Yue Xi couldn't see what was thrown into someone's yard even if he tried his best.

"Wow, it's all there!" Zheng Baocai ate and smiled, quite proud: "Dead cats, dead dogs, dead rats, soaked pigs in the water, and I don't know whose woman used the water cloth, and wrapped a bag of dung, this is my brother's ...... personally."

Yue Xi was disgusted when he heard it, and he wanted to spit out the milk he ate when he was a child!

"You're disgusting!" Ye Miancheng also retched for a while, avoiding Zheng Baocai and said: "Even if you make the people who live in it disgusting, and the son-in-law lives in it, it will be very difficult to clean up!" ”

"Money can make the devil grind! Let's get the house over first, and then spend a few dollars to hire someone to come over and scrub and clean up, and then ask the craftsman to come and paint the walls, isn't that the same as the new home! Zheng Baocai said disapprerovingly.

"But is this trick good?" Ye Miancheng still felt dirty, and even covered his nose when he talked to Zheng Baocai.

"Why is it not good?" Zheng Baocai turned his head to Yue Xi and said: "For a thousand years, I have a friend who fell in love with a restaurant and wanted to buy it, but the other party didn't know how to lift it, so he wouldn't sell it!" ”

"Later, my brother and I used this trick to use the kitchen of the restaurant as a thatched house, and within a few days, the owner obediently vacated the shop......

"......" is really lacking in virtue...... Yue Xi thought silently in his heart.

"Deal with Liu Juren...... I'm afraid this trick won't work. As soon as Yue Xi's words were finished, the door of the Chu family's old house was opened from the inside with a bang, and two subordinates stood at the door with lanterns, while a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties was already standing on the steps and scolded: "A straight lady thief who has suffered a thousand knives, don't think that you can scare the old lady with these pickled things!" ”

"Really, when you kiss my mother, I was scared? If you cut me with a knife, then my family's inheritance will be yours! ”

"If you don't have a seed, you only dare to do this for a living, and see if the old lady doesn't scold you to death!"

The next words are more and more unpleasant, and the little thing from the man to the woman is scolded

When it came to the little thing on the woman's body, she finally said without naming her: "If you are sensible, give me the silver, except for the money, no one wants to squeeze their family out of this courtyard......"

After being busy for most of the night, the three of them listened to the scolding, and finally returned home!

"The mother-in-law of the old beast surnamed Liu has a very powerful mouth, I think, and my father can scold her......" Back in the small courtyard, Zheng Bao drank two bowls of herbal tea in one breath before he spoke: "Tomorrow, I'll change my trick!" ”

"No need for tomorrow, it's almost dawn now, it's time to see me tonight." Yue Xi sat at the table and said with his eyes closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.

None of them slept well at night, so the three of them slept well all day during the day.

When it was dark, Yue Xiyou went out to buy food and came back.

After eating and drinking, he piled the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, Yue Xi took out a few strips of red paper and spread them on the table, and said to Ye Miancheng with a smile: "Lord Zhixian, leave a few ink treasures." ”

Ye Miancheng looked at the red paper on the table and was dazed for a while: "Isn't this the right pair written for the New Year?" It's all at this time, what's the use of writing Spring Festival couplets? ”

"It's useful, write it!" Yue Xi personally sharpened the ink and handed him a huge brush: "You can write whatever I say!" ”

"That's it?!" Ye Miancheng read the written Spring Festival couplets again, and Zheng Baocai, who was squatting on a chair next to him to watch the excitement, had already laughed: "If anyone talks like this in broad daylight, it will probably be considered crazy by others!" ”

Yue Xi ignored the two of them, and when the Spring Festival couplets were completely dry, she picked them up and looked at them, and quickly praised Ye Miancheng and said: "The writing is not bad, it's half good to have Lao Tzu......

"......" Ye Miancheng is also a person who has read books for a few years, and now let Yue Xi say this, he asked at that time: "Then you don't write it yourself?" ”

"It's just because you can't write well, so I give you a chance to practice more......" Yue Xi's face did not change color, and he put away the couplet without a beat, and put it into the small baggage he carried with him.

"Let's go? It is estimated that the family surnamed Liu should also fall asleep this time. Zheng Baocai stood at the door of the main house and listened to the sound of bangs outside the door.

"There's no hurry." Yue Xi said lightly.

It wasn't until the second half of the night, when Zheng Baocai began to feel sleepy, that Yue Xi scalded a jar of paste with boiling water, woke up the two of them, and walked around the yard.

At dawn, when people slept the sweetest, Liu Juren's house in the west of the city set off a cannon battle like a thunderbolt, and five in a row!

The loud sound alarmed the officers and soldiers who were patrolling the night in two places, far and near, and ran to the door of Liu Ju's house together to discern the direction.

Under the white belly of the fish that has just risen in the sky, a pair of red dazzling Spring Festival couplets are pasted on both sides of the gatehouse, and there are two red lanterns burning with candles hanging at the door of Liu's house!

Such a scene made the two teams of people hugging in front of Liu's house dumbfounded, and the deputy general sitting on the tall horse shook his head and shook his tail and remembered the pair:

Shanglian: We, the people, we're really happy tonight, roar!

Xialian: We, the people, will be happy tonight, hey!

Horizontal batch: Roar hey!

After reading it, not only the officers and soldiers who patrolled the night, but even the deputy himself was happy: "Done!" Before the Spring Festival, we sent an official document up and down, who doesn't know that the queen is just gone, and the whole country is sad! The owner of this family is going to rebel! ”

"Come on, I used to tie up the head of this family! Let him go to the prison and be happy for a few days, roar hehe......" The adjutant general opened his mouth and laughed a few times before closing his mouth, always feeling that his laughter sounded too awkward!

"...... Gongzi Yue" was far away, several people stood behind the neighbors watching the bustling neighborhood, and Ye Miancheng gave Yue Xi a thumbs up: "Niangniang died so well!" ”

"Fuck off!" Yue Xi scolded coldly.
