"Oh, that's right, my mother is a doctor of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, so since I was a child, I have been exposed to her ears and eyes, I also know a little bit about the use of simple, commonly used medicines, when I go out, I am used to carrying a small medicine box, there are not too many medicines, they are some commonly used, just in case, I didn't expect to use it today, you are all Chinese medicine here, Chinese medicine works slowly, I am Western medicine, it works faster.

"Miss Lin Xi, you are amazing. Thank you. Come on, sit down and drink some water, I've been busy for most of the day, I'm tired. Grandma said with a smile.

"Grandma, I'm not tired, I'm here every day like a big lady, I don't work every day, and you send someone to wait for me, I'm the happiest." Jiang Linxi said with a smile.

"Hehe, Miss Lin Xi speaks to attract people to listen and be sensible." Grandma laughed happily.

One early morning a few days later, facing the rising sun, Jiang Linxi ran in the back garden for morning exercise.

Next to the rockery in the back garden, Shen Linglang found Jiang Linxi.

"Miss Lin Xi, I heard that you cured my second brother's toothache, and I thank you again." Shen Linglang said.

"No, they're not outsiders, what's there to thank. As long as our family is healthy, I feel extremely happy. Jiang Linxi said.

"Well, in order to express my gratitude to you, I took three days off from the king's place, so I don't have to go to the king's place on an errand, and I can accompany you to the streets." Shen Linglang said in a deep voice.

"Really? Well, I've been at home for a few days, and I want to go out for a walk. Jiang Linxi said happily.

The street is very lively, there are many people who buy snacks, there are many shops, people who buy cloth, buy grain, buy tea, and all walks of life keep their duties, and it is very prosperous. Jiang Linxi deliberately changed into an ancient costume, look at this, look there, look at the pedestrians on the street dressing up, look at the houses and buildings on the street, and feel curious and fresh everywhere. Shen Linglang bought her a lot of snacks and small things that Jiang Linxi liked, watching Shen Linglang buy things with silver, Jiang Linxi felt very fresh, and he also tried to use the silver given by Shen Linglang to buy things, it felt really interesting. Watching plays, listening to books, and shopping, all of these things are things that Jiang Linxi can't see or feel in the places where he lives.

The three days passed quickly in the play between Jiang Linxi and Shen Linglang. On the way home, Jiang Linxi looked at the houses on the street and asked Shen Linglang: "General Ling Lang, I found that the buildings here are all the same, not only the structure of the shops is the same, but also from the outside, it seems that the residential buildings of the people here are basically the same, and the inside is also the same?" ”

"Well, yes, it's the same, our shops and people's houses here were built by the emperor. So it's the same. Shen Linglang looked at the houses on the street and said.

"How much does the country have to spend on unified construction and repair?"

"Isn't the money of the state taken from the people and used by the people? It is normal for the people to pay taxes to the state, and the state spends money for the people to build houses and repair houses! ”

"Unified to build houses for the people, but the situation of each family is different, the population is more or less, and the country knows how much each family needs!" Jiang Linxi asked puzzled.

"Oh, then, what about our people here, there are rules."

"What rules?" Jiang Linxi asked.

"Population regulations." Shen Linglang said.

"What do you mean, I don't understand." Jiang Linxi asked.

"Our country stipulates that married couples can only have three children, whether it is two men and one girl, two women and one man, they can only have three children, if there are three daughters in the family, you can have one more, special." Shen Linglang paused slightly, his tone was much lower, and he could see that he was a little embarrassed.

"Oh, what if I have more children?" Jiang Linxi didn't notice Shen Linglang's expression at all.

"It's a lot, there are people who are specifically responsible for this aspect to watch, among the three children, the youngest is only one year old, and the person in charge of this aspect will go to the higher department to get the dead water, and if you drink it, you can't give birth anymore, even if you are pregnant in the belly, you can't live, no matter how old it is, it will slowly melt." Shen Linglang was even more embarrassed when he said this.

"Is there a special person to develop such water?" The curious Jiang Linxi continued to ask.

"No, there is a well in the palace of the emperor, the water in this well is naturally formed, you can't drink it casually, there are special people to guard it, as long as you drink the water here, you can't have children." Shen Linglang's face turned a little red.

"Oh, that's amazing! So all of you people here are pretty much fixed in every house, so it's the same to build a house, right? Jiang Linxi noticed the change in Shen Linglang's expression and changed the topic.

"Well, yes, every household of the people has a large courtyard with four small courtyards."

"But I saw that your house is a large courtyard with three entrances, plus a back garden and four cross courtyards?" Jiang Linxi asked.

"According to state regulations, ordinary local officials generally have two courtyards plus a back garden and four cross-courtyards. For those of us who are officials in the imperial palace, the state stipulates that there is one more front yard and one cross-courtyard than the homes of local officials. So it's a three-way yard and five cross-courtyards plus a back garden. Shen Linglang regained his embarrassed expression.

"Oh, that's good, that is, no matter what, everyone who lives here will be given a house by the state." Jiang Linxi thought a little.

"Well, yes, they all have houses to live in." Shen Linglang said.

"I see you don't have beggars here." Jiang Linxi said.

"Well, there are no beggars here, there is really no ability to live, and the state has provided for it." Shen Linglang said.

"The state builds houses, and the state supports people who have no ability to live, so isn't the state afraid of encouraging the lazy habits of some lazy people?" Jiang Linxi frowned and thought.

"Hehe, no, our system here is very strict, if some people are lazy and do something that hurts nature and reason, violates the law and discipline, they will be punished or beheaded." Shen Linglang said.

"Do you have people here who steal children, steal children, and force others to do bad things?" Jiang Linxi asked.

"Yes, these are death sentences, and after they are confirmed, they will be beheaded on the spot. So this is basically none. The heavier ones are subject to the death penalty of beheading. Shen Linglang said.

"Isn't this going to be too serious?" Jiang Linxi asked.

"Hehe, no, if you want to have a good social environment and system, it is not possible to have a strict rule of law, for example, we also stipulate here that thieves who steal small things will be punished by one year in prison, and they will be sentenced to ten years for two times, and they will be beheaded if they are beheaded three times, and they will be beheaded if they are serious once. Therefore, our society will be much more stable and peaceful, so as to ensure the stability of the people's lives. In our place, people can stay open at night, and there will be no problems. Speaking of this, Shen Linglang had a proud expression on his face.

Jiang Linxi was amused by Shen Linglang's expression, and the two of them had already arrived at the door of the house while talking. When they came in, the whole family was waiting for them.

"Miss Lin Xi, Ling Lang, are you back? Did Miss Lin Xi have a good time today? The old lady looked at them kindly.

"I'm glad grandma, how are you doing today?" Jiang Linxi walked up to her grandmother and asked.

At this time, Shen Linglang sat next to his grandmother and handed her a pack of snacks: "Grandma, we have a good time today, this is your favorite snack I bought for you, you can compensate for it." ”

"Well, just be happy. Lang'er is sensible, and he still thinks about me when he goes out to play. The old lady took the snack and said happily.

"Grandma, as long as your old man is healthy and happy, we are the greatest happiness." Shen Linglang said.

"Well, of course I'm happy to have such a good grandson, Ling Lang, Miss Lin Xi, it's the Tianlong Temple fair, it's Tianlong's birthday, it's a very spiritual wish, our whole family goes there to play for a day, everyone is happy and happy." Grandma said happily.

"Yes, grandma, you remember the old man quite clearly, I forgot everything." Shen Linglang said.

"Your grandmother is right, the emperor also said today, he and the queen will also go to pray for the queen mother that day, and ask us all to prepare ourselves, Ling Lang, you are now the minister of the court, so you may need to protect the emperor and go to the Tianlong Temple with other generals in the court that day." Shen Zhong said.

"Oh, well, it's my duty as a minister to protect the king. But what about our family? So many people, who protects? Shen Linglang said.

"It's okay, isn't there still me and your second brother, besides, the generals in our house can also do martial arts, just pick a few good martial arts to follow at that time?" Shen Zhong said.

"Okay. Then you should be careful. Shen Lang said.

Jiang Linxi was inexplicable when he listened to it, and couldn't help but interject and ask: "Isn't it just going to a temple fair, how can you still be in a war?" ”

Shen Linglang turned his head to look at Jiang Linxi and said, "Miss Linxi, when the time comes, you have to follow Wanyun every step of the way, you must not walk around by yourself, if you encounter anything special, you don't have to be afraid, we have someone who will protect you." ”

Jiang Linxi sneered and laughed: "How do I listen to keep up with the battlefield Yes, since it's so dangerous, why do you still want to go, is it dangerous there?" ”

"No, I mean just in case, but you must be obedient and don't run around." Shen Linglang said.

"Oh, well, I'll just let you do it." Jiang Linxi said.

Tianlong Temple Temple will be on another hill in Longyu Valley, this mountain is not big, and the last time I met Shen Linglang the mountain is much smaller, in the other direction of Longyu Valley, the whole mountain looks like a dragon from a distance, dragon head, dragon body, dragon tail, the image is very realistic, so it is called Tianlong Mountain. The temple is built on the dragon's body, the temple hall is very large, the bell rings far away, the breath is reverberating, and the cigarette smoke is curling. Usually there is an endless stream of pilgrims here, today is the temple fair, and the people nearby are a group of three or five, or the whole family moves, and goes to the mountain one by one. Look at the lively, incense, and wish-making. Those who come early go down the mountain, and those who come late go up the mountain; There are all kinds of snacks sold on the mountain, and the cries are endless; There are boxers who buy art, and the applause is endless. There are also some young couples who are in love, or whispering under the trees, or in the backs.

When Jiang Linxi and the others arrived, it was already noon. A gorgeous carriage carried his grandmother and Ling Lang's mother Liu Yu, Wanyun and Lin Xi, Jiang Linxi, who had never been in a carriage, felt particularly novel. Shen Linglang's father and Shen Lingxuan rode horses, and there were two generals and two daughters, a family of more than ten people came to the bottom of the mountain, the carriage stopped, and everyone surrounded his grandmother and Shen Linglang's mother and walked up the mountain......

In order not to attract attention, Jiang Linxi deliberately changed into an ancient costume today, and asked Shen Wanyun to help her comb an antique hairstyle, apply light powder, draw moth eyebrows slightly, and light beaded lips; Jiang Linxi, who was already beautiful, cleaned up like a fairy. On the road, it attracted the attention of many passers-by.

"Two girls, I'm sick, can you send me home, do me a favor, thank you!" A faithful elderly woman with a large burden walked up to them and gasped for breath with a sickly look.

"We don't have time, you can find someone else." Shen Wanyun looked the old woman up and down, and refused without waiting for Jiang Linxi to speak.

"Two girls, you can do it, just help me, I suddenly fell ill halfway, it is difficult for me to walk, and I can't take such a big burden anymore, I have an eight-year-old grandson at home waiting for me to go back to take care of it, or I won't trouble the girl." The old woman pleaded.

"You hurry up and go away, we can't help you," Shen Wanyun said coldly.

"Wanyun, look how pitiful this old man is, let's help her." Jiang Linxi glanced at the old woman.

"Don't talk, you don't understand, you listen to me." Shen Wanyun whispered to Jiang Linxi.

"Two girls, I won't let you help in vain, we have a pair of beautiful heirloom phoenix hairpins, you send me home, I can give you phoenix hairpins." The elderly woman was still pleading.

Shen Wanyun said with a straight face: "You go away, we don't go, we have my own favorite phoenix."

"Girl, our phoenix hairpin is a family heirloom, I have no children, I want to give it to two beautiful girls who are destined, only you can look good when you wear it," the old woman turned to Jiang Linxi and said to Jiang Linxi.

"We don't need it, you go away, we thank you for your kindness, we don't want it, you go away quickly." Shen Wanyun pulled Jiang Linxi behind her back. "Don't go any further, I'm not welcome to you if you go any further. Watch out for your foolishness, go away, second brother! Come here! After speaking, Shen Wanyun shouted at Shen Lingxuan in front of him.

"Okay, if you don't help me, I'll beg others, and I'll give it to others as an heirloom, don't regret it, you girl really don't know what to do." The older woman said and walked away.

Jiang Linxi was a little puzzled, what happened to Shen Wanyun today, although she was usually naughty and lively, she was very easy-going and enthusiastic about people, how could she be so kind to an old man who needed help today?

At this time, Shen Lingxuan, who was walking in front, heard the shouting and walked back and asked, "Wanyun, what's wrong." What did that person do, why are you so fierce to her? ”

"Second brother, there are a lot of people on the mountain today, and it's chaotic, you take a good look at the people in our family. Don't let outsiders get close to our family without my consent. Shen Wanyun said to Shen Lingxuan.

"What's the matter, I'm so prepared when you say it!" Shen Lingxuan asked a little confused.

Shen Wanyun looked around, pulled Shen Lingxuan to the side two steps, left Jiang Linxi, leaned close to Shen Lingxuan's ear and whispered, "That old woman just now is not us humans, she is a malicious alien.
