The yellow dragonfly is as big as Chen Xueru, Chen Xuejiao calls her sister, and she affectionately calls Chen Xuejiao her sister.

Originally, Huang Dragonfly saw that Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang were noble sons with extraordinary temperaments, and thought that Chen Xuejiao was also a young lady from an official family.

“…… I never thought of meeting you again, at the beginning, Gu Gongzi broke in to save me and my father, I thought that when I encountered the song in the play, your son saved the poor woman and asked the poor to be his maid. "Yellow Dragonfly is a resolute person, and when he talks about the insults he received at night, he does not cry, but laughs sneeringly.

Chen Xuejiao smiled, thinking that such dramas have been popular since ancient times.

Huang Dragonfly blushed: "I don't want to be a maid, fortunately, with Master Qin, my father can go to your place to sit in the museum." Then he asked, "Do you have mountains or rivers there?" ”

Chen Xuejiao described Baitu Town and Maoshan Village to her.

"Your name is special, why is it called Dragonfly?" Chen Xuejiao asked.

"Because when my mother gave birth to me, it happened to rain and many dragonflies stopped on the fence of the yard, and my mother said that dragonflies flew beautifully and named me this." When the yellow dragonfly mentioned her mother, her eyes were gloomy.

"What are you doing at Weishan Lake?" Yellow Dragonfly asked.

"Sell duck eggs and sell them at home." Chen Xuejiao said calmly.

The admiration in the yellow dragonfly's eyes could not be concealed.

The two men said they were tired, blew out the lights, and fell asleep with their heads next to each other.

At night, Chen Xuejiao was awakened by the sound, and looked at the yellow dragonfly beside her, still sleeping very deeply.

Chen Xuejiao put on her middle clothes, got up quietly, opened a crack in the door, and looked outside through the crack in the door, only to see Master Qin's door closed.

Master Qin's room was next to Chen Xuejiao's room. She pressed her ear to the wall and listened to the movement in the next room, but the sound insulation was so good that she couldn't hear any sound at all.

Chen Xuejiao has always felt that Master Qin is not an ordinary person. At this time, curiosity was aroused, and he tiptoed out of the house. Take a closer look. Finding that Master Qin's room was next to his own room on the left, and there was an empty corridor on the right, Chen Xuejiao quietly walked over, hid next to the pillars of the corridor, and stood on tiptoe to look inside.

Master Qin's room was lit up, and the shadows were quiet, and when I heard someone talking, it was a deep male voice.

“…… Emperor Qin. It was Ji Hong's godson who had no way to collide with you, and I ask you to bear with me. ”

Emperor Qin? Chen Xuejiao was shocked. The surname Qin is the only one, Master Qin, but I didn't expect that Mr. Qin, who lived in seclusion in a small village, turned out to be the emperor.

Chen Xuejiao was surprised and couldn't come back to her senses, and suddenly someone slapped her shoulder hard, Chen Xuejiao hit a spirit, and turned back to a pair of dazzling eyes.

It was Gu Siyuan, who was standing behind her in a white robe, looking at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Xuejiao was so frightened that she wanted to escape.

"Master Qin is the emperor?" Chen Xuejiao was so excited that she asked.

"I'm just talking about it. I didn't hear anything. Chen Xuejiao covered up.

Curiosity kills cats, and the more you know, the worse it will die.

I have long known that Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang are not ordinary sons, since Chen Xiu was cut. Chen Xuejiao was even more skeptical.

Gu Siyuan looked at her fixedly and nodded.

"The person inside is Ji Hong, King Peng's first strategist, and his son is the evil young man who forced the Huang family's father and daughter to accompany him to drink tonight." Gu Siyuan said lightly.

Chen Xuejiao looked at Master Qin's room, couldn't see anything clearly, and became curious again: "Then who are you?" ”

Gu Siyuan was silent.

"I didn't ask, anyway, when you get to Weishan Lake, you go north. Master Qin's identity must not even be known to my father, don't worry, I won't say it. Chen Xuejiao was still afraid of the result of knowing the secret. Hurry up and make up for it.

Until she got into the quilt, Chen Xuejiao still felt that Gu Siyuan's eyes were staring at her behind her back. There was sweat all down my back.

The court is strange and strange, since Master Qin lives in seclusion in Maoshan Village. I don't want others to know his identity, but I do.

See the move, she's just a little girl from the countryside, and even if she knows it, she won't pose a threat to anyone. Chen Xuejiao thought to herself, and then fell asleep.

I got up, had breakfast, and continued on my way.

Chen Xuejiao glanced at Gu Siyuan lightly and found that his face was slightly relieved as usual.

"I slept with Brother Qi An last night, and I asked Brother Da Zhuang to take the two of us to show Master Qin a carriage." Gu Siyuan's eyes swept over Master Qin.

Originally, Chen Xuejiao was worried that Chen Qi'an and Master Qin were sleeping in the same room, in case she knew that his identity would be inappropriate, but she didn't expect that last night Gu Siyuan would be separated in a few days under the pretext that Chen Qi'an would go to his room to catch up, thus missing the scene where Ji Hong came to Master Qin to apologize.

The previous carriage, plus the Huang family's father and daughter, was not enough to sit, so Gu Siyuan asked Dazhuang to go to the horse shop to see each other and buy a new one. In this way, Chen Xuejiao and Huang Dragonfly sat in Li Yuntian's carriage, and Master Qin and Huang Xiucai took the newly purchased carriage.

Traveling along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, I soon got out of Xuzhou Mansion.

The world is vast, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the hub connecting the north and south, and there is an endless stream of ships coming and going on the river, which is full of goods and grain from the south of the Yangtze River and transported to Beijing. The wharf is constantly populated, even in late autumn, there are still slender men shirtless singing and pulling boats.

Li Yuntian pointed to the canal and said to Chen Qi'an: "...... See, those slender men who pulled the boat, I and your father and Xingjian's father went north with the horse team, and then the horse team was robbed by robbers, and everyone dispersed in a hurry, and the three of us made money in this place and returned home. ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiucai was a scholar, and he had suffered such hardships when he was young.

Chen Qi'an's eyes were full of admiration. Chen Xuejiao opened the curtain and looked at the shirtless slender men, thinking of the hardships that Chen Xiucai endured when he was young, and couldn't help but moisten his eyes.

"There was Xu Xiucai with us back then, and the robbers robbed him, but your father and I didn't find him." Li Yuntian's voice became low.

Xu Xiucai, so familiar. Chen Xuejiao tried hard to recall, yes, the first time she heard this person was at her aunt's funeral. It must be this person, if he hadn't been robbed, the aunt's fate would not have been so miserable.

"At that time, the first emperor was old and faint, and he constantly recruited troops from the Western Regions. The tax was levied according to the capitation to make military salaries, which coincided with the flood of the Yellow River, and many people really couldn't survive. He went to the mountains and forests to become a bandit, robbing money and goods. Xu Xiucai was robbed. Li Yuntian sighed.

is old and faint, such a naked evaluation of the emperor in his later years.

Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang exchanged looks.

Li Yuntian smiled at Gu Siyuan grinningly: "Like us villagers, who is the emperor, as long as there is a peaceful world to earn food." ”

Huang Saburo was thoughtful.

Compared with Gu Siyuan, Huang Sanlang is really elusive, every time Chen Xuejiao meets him, she just smiles slightly, and never communicates. I really don't know, how can Jing Hao find him to redeem the hairpin for the Li family.

"Heaven and earth are big. Everywhere is my home, there are reed flowers on both sides of the river......" Li Yuntian suddenly rode his horse and sang, the carriage galloped forward, and the whole carriage was unstable.

Chen Xuejiao and Huang Dragonfly sat inside, clutching the curtain tightly, and it took a while to get used to the speed of galloping.

Li Yuntian, a steady middle-aged man, was also enthusiastic when he arrived at the bank of the open canal.

After crossing the boundary of Xuzhou Mansion and entering Shandong, the land is vast.

Shandong produced a Confucius. It has always been known as the hometown of etiquette. However, Shandong people are upright and bold, and when they encounter a disaster year, they are the place with the most displaced people. Otherwise, how could there be one hundred and eight generals of Liangshanbo.

Chen Xuejiao looked at the scenery of Shandong and told the story of Liangshanbo to Huang Dragonfly, focusing on Jingyanggang Wusong fighting tigers. Huang Dragonfly listened with relish, Chen Xuejiao spoke more energetically, and the road was not lonely at all.

In the evening, we arrived at the boundary of Tengzhou, walked forward, and entered a place called Zuojiazhuang, Master Qin decided to rest in this village for one night, and tomorrow I will arrive at Weishan Lake on the way for a day.

The village is home to more than two dozen families. The fields and houses are neat and tidy, and they are scattered. It looks like a place of peace and abundance. The villagers saw their carriage come in and rushed to see it.

A middle-aged man in his thirties came out of the crowd. He bowed to Master Qin.

Master Qin smiled and introduced Chen Xuejiao and the others, it turned out that this person was Jia's sister-in-law's maiden nephew, named Zuo Qing.

Jia Da's two sons are both from Shandong, and Jia's sister-in-law is from Tengzhou, married to Jia Da, and has followed him to take care of Master Qin's diet and daily life. Sister-in-law Jia returns to her hometown twice a year, and although Zuo Qing is her own nephew, she only knows that her main family is an ordinary private school teacher, and she does not know Master Qin's background. This time, Master Qin went to Jingshi, passing by Zuojiazhuang in Tengzhou, and Sister-in-law Jia wrote a letter to ask him to entertain the master's family.

Zuo Qing invited Master Qin and others into his yard, and the lady of the Zuo family came out with a son and a daughter to greet her.

The courtyard of the left house is a three-entry courtyard, the cover is extremely Zhouzheng, there are chickens, ducks and geese in the yard, there are also vegetable gardens, behind is the endless field, the wheat has begun to sprout, showing a green and shining pastoral scenery.

Chen Xuejiao was very envious in her heart, when did her family have such a field, she also had to build such a house, planting fields and flowers every day, there was no messy family affairs involved, and she didn't know how comfortable her life was.

Shandong people attach great importance to etiquette, although Zuo Qing and Zuo family ladies grew up in the fields and countryside, they are extremely self-contained in their gestures. The two of them greeted Master Qin and the others one by one, and asked Jia Dajia's sister-in-law An.

Dinner was prepared very richly. The neighbors knew that the Zuo family had guests, and they brought their own food or wine to entertain the guests together. When you arrive in Shandong, of course, you have to eat the specialty pancakes here, the lady of the Zuo family prepared a large stack of pancakes and put them on the table in a basket, and there were green onions and sauce on the plate, Master Qin rolled it up and ate it, took a bite and closed his eyes with satisfaction. Although Chen Xuejiao couldn't stand the smell of green onions, she also ate one. The pancakes were very hard, Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang took a bite and put them down. The rest was eaten by Li Yuntian and Master Qin.

After the meal, the lady of the Zuo family arranged them in the courtyard in the middle. It's much more spacious than the inn, and the stay is naturally comfortable.

The inner courtyard is full of peach and persimmon trees. The peach trees are bare, and the persimmon trees are full of tomatoes, which is very beautiful in autumn.

Before it was dark, Chen Qi'an wrote a letter to Chen Xiucai to report his safety and walked into the courtyard. It happened that Xuejiao also came out, and the two brothers and sisters sat under the persimmon tree and talked about the affairs of the family, still worried that they would bully the Li family in the upper room.

After talking for a while, Chen Qi'an picked the persimmon and handed it to Xue Jiao. Xue Jiao rubbed it and ate it, it was sweet and cool, very delicious.

"In the future, our family will also have such a yard. The yard is full of peach trees, the peach blossoms are blooming in spring, you and your father are reading in the yard, your mother is cooking for us in the pot house, my sister and Sister Jinghao are doing needlework under the peach trees, and Qi Ping and I plan to ......" Chen Xuejiao's eyes were full of longing.

"There will be a day." Chen Qi'an followed Xue Jiao's depiction and longed for it.

There will be a day when there will be. (To be continued)
