"But then again...... Chu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, and said after a moment of silence: "Cangzhou...... Does Kou Feng have that much money?"

Although Kou Feng is brave and resolute, this title was handed down by the ancestors of the Kou family, and when it was passed on to Kou Feng's generation, the family had already been defeated.

And Kou Feng is not like her mother Feng Miao, who has been on the battlefield several times, and can have the opportunity to collect money, even if the Kou family has a family property, it should be in the capital instead of Cangzhou.

Yun Ruochen smiled, "Naturally, there is, even if he doesn't, there is always one in the treasury of Cangzhou." ”

"Cangzhou Mansion Treasury ......" Chu Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and then didn't know what to remember, and suddenly said: "No!"

"What's wrong?"

Chu Xiaoxiao said: "Now that the New Year has just passed, it is the time for spring planting, and the taxes can only be collected in the autumn, and Cangzhou Mansion has absolutely no money!"

Cangzhou is not a prince's fiefdom, and the annual taxes are to be handed over to the treasury without a penny, and it has just been handed over at the end of the year.

And looking at the eagerness of these people in the rivers and lakes, there must be great benefits waiting for them.

Hearing this, Yun Ruochen's gaze also became serious, "...... you mean?"

Yun Ruochen's thoughts over the years have been spent on how to study and calculate and take precautions, and he doesn't know as much about government affairs or money as Chu Xiaoxiao, a person who has just entered the court.

So in Fang Cai, Yun Ruochen didn't figure out the key to the matter for a while.

"It must be profitable for so many people to go to Cangzhou, so they don't hesitate to go against the imperial court. Chu Xiaoxiao said slowly: "So, what is this benefit?"

It can't be that Kou Feng has reached the point where he can call the wind and rain and respond to every call, so that those people in the rivers and lakes are willingly driven by him, right?

Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Yun Ruochen thought about it carefully, and then said, "I'll let people check." ”

"Hey?" Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at him, and wondered, "Didn't you bring anyone?"

She was still thinking about the two cute little nannies of Dark Wind and Dark Cloud.

Yun Ruochen looked at Chu Xiaoxiao with a smile, pointed to his head, and said, "I didn't bring anyone, I can send a message." ”

Seeing this, Chu Xiaoxiao knew that Yun Ruochen was forcing her IQ, so she said angrily: "How do you send a message?"

"Haha. Yun Ruochen couldn't help laughing, and then stretched out his hand slightly, and a small red snake with the thickness of a finger crawled out all the way along his wrist, directly wrapped around his wrist, and was spitting snake letter in front of Chu Xiaoxiao at this time.

"Huh?" Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and after a pause, she suddenly said, "Isn't this the snake of the Dark Moon?"

Although he has only seen it once, Chu Xiaoxiao will not forget it when he sees it once.

Since this snake is from the Dark Moon, why is it in Yun Ruochen's hands now?

Yun Ruochen stretched out his hand and rubbed Chu Xiaoxiao's hair, and said with a smile: "Who said this is the Dark Moon? This Red Lian Snake was originally a twin, and I brought it back from Southern Xinjiang that year, but I just gave it to the Dark Moon." ”

Because the two were riding horses, when Yun Ruochen rubbed Chu Xiaoxiao's hair, a gust of wind happened to blow, and the broken hair on Chu Xiaoxiao's forehead was blown into a mess on the spot.

Chu Xiaoxiao didn't care about the red snake anymore, so she quickly let go of the reins and raised her hand to arrange her hair, and said while brushing it: "Yun Ruochen, I warn you, you are not allowed to touch my head in the future." ”

She's not a child anymore, what's the matter with Yun Ruochen always touching her head?

Speaking of which, it's not bullying her for being short!

After thinking about it like this, a layer of bright sadness suddenly appeared in Chu Xiaoxiao's big round eyes, and she looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle at the right time.

Having said that, she didn't know if she could grow back with a height of 1.75 meters in her previous life.

But given that she's eighteen years old now, that hope is slim.

"What's wrong?" Yun Ruochen looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and suddenly stopped talking, and couldn't help but say.

Chu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, didn't look at him, and said directly: "Don't you know if your head is tall?"

"......" Yun Ruochen was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Even if this is the case, Xiaoxiao is the best." ”

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the expression on Yun Ruochen's face for a moment, and suddenly said, "Don't think I don't know that you're holding back a laugh!"

“......”

"The corners of my mouth can't hold back, I'm going to curl up!"

“...... Ha ......"

"Yun Ruochen, are you underwhelming?!"

The two chased all the way to an inn that seemed to be quite passable, and when they saw that it was getting late, they stopped.

Because she was in a hurry, Chu Xiaoxiao did not enter the city when she passed by Hanzhou City, but walked along the official road all the way, and now she can only settle down in this small town that does not seem to be very prosperous.

When they arrived at the largest inn in town, Chu Xiaoxiao handed her and Yun Ruochen's horse reins to Xiao Er, and then threw Xiao Er a silver ingot by the way.

"This horse is to be fed the freshest fodder, and there is also an upper room to bring the best food in your inn......"

Speaking of this, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly paused, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Yun Ruochen.

She hadn't forgotten that Yun Ruochen couldn't eat out.

Even if she went to Yongzhou twice before, she always brought servants and honor guards, but there were only the two of them at this time, so it was naturally impossible for her to make meals for him to eat.

If so, wouldn't he starve to death during this time?

Yun Ruochen naturally knew what Chu Xiaoxiao was thinking, so he chuckled and said, "It's okay, I brought medicine." ”

Hearing him say this, Chu Xiaoxiao put her mind at ease, turned her head and instructed Xiao Er, "The food must be clean, and in the evening, boil some hot water and send it over." ”

The little second checked the weight of the silver ingot, and immediately smiled, and hurriedly let Chu Xiaoxiao and Yun Ruochen into the inn, while shouting, "One upper room ......"

Chu Xiaoxiao felt that the voice of this little second was quite similar to the singing and cheering of the chief manager in the palace.

Just when Chu Xiaoxiao secretly laughed, the little second reacted and paused, and looked at Chu Xiaoxiao with some embarrassment, "This girl, you only need an upper room, right?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Chu Xiaoxiao's hair, which was clearly an unmarried woman's hairstyle.

Of course, Chu Xiaoxiao knew what Xiao Er was thinking, in fact, she only needed an upper room, which was intentional, "What, can't it?"

"Cheng Cheng Cheng Cheng ......" Xiao Er thought that he had heard it wrong, so he made sure again, and when he saw Chu Xiaoxiao say this, he naturally didn't dare to have an opinion, so he greeted him with a smile: "Please come inside, the meal will be there soon." ”
