Chen Hanxue blinked mischievously after speaking.

Another handsome little girl also continued: "My name is Chen Xiaxue. ”

……

Zhao Canniang waited for them to finish introducing them one after another, and then said gently: "It's a pleasure to meet you today, I hope we can get along well in the future, I still have something to do to go back, so I'll leave first." ”

Chen Hanxue nodded with a smile: "Sister-in-law, see you again." ”

Zhao Canniang left, and the little maid who walked in front said with a smile: "I didn't expect the third lady to like Miss Zhao so much." ”

Zhao Canniang smiled slightly and asked, "How old is the third lady this year?" ”

"Thirteen, I just talked about family affairs some time ago, and the third lady is the most eccentric on weekdays." The maid stopped at this point.

Zhao Canniang naturally understood the meaning of it, quirky means that there are usually a lot of ghost ideas, but looking at Chen Hanxue's appearance, this is indeed the case.

Zhao Canniang didn't think much about it and left the Chen family directly.

hurriedly returned home, but saw that shopkeeper Zhang had not left yet, it seemed that shopkeeper Zhang had a pleasant chat with the Qin family, and Zhao Canniang peeked outside and did not disturb.

And Zhao Qingfeng on the other side had already hurried to Yucheng.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the city, Zhao Qingfeng felt that the atmosphere around him was wrong, the military camp where General Chang was stationed was still outside the city, and on the official road, he could still meet officers and soldiers patrolling with swords and spears from time to time.

And the pedestrians on the road are also in a hurry.

Zhao Qingfeng took Zhao Xuewu into the city.

At the gate of the city, the officers and soldiers took the portraits and looked at them one by one.

Anyone who entered the city was subject to inspection, and the carriage was no exception.

Zhao Qingfeng and Zhao Xuewu couldn't help but glance at each other. Each saw worry in each other's eyes.

Smoothly entered the city, and the atmosphere in the city was even more different.

Many of the shops in the city have closed. The only ones that are open are some grocery stores and rice shops.

"What's going on? Why are so many storefronts not open? Zhao Xuewu didn't dare to speak too loudly, and asked Zhao Qingfeng on the side worriedly.

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head: "I don't know." But looking at this, something should have happened, you go home first and I'll ask. ”

Zhao Xuewu nodded, and drove the carriage away.

Zhao Qingfeng went directly to the restaurant, and the restaurant was the same as when he left, and the sign on the door saying that he had something to go home was still hanging on the door.

Although the rice shop next to the restaurant is open, the business is unusually light.

Zhao Qingfeng had a good relationship with the boss of the rice shop next door, and after observing left and right, and after finding that there was no problem, Zhao Qingfeng walked directly into the rice shop.

The owner of the rice shop sat inside the counter. As soon as he felt that business came to his door, he raised his head and saw that the owner of Zhao Qingfeng's rice shop hurriedly stood up and took Zhao Qingfeng's hand and walked to the inner hall.

"Why are you only back now?" The owner of the rice shop asked worriedly.

Zhao Qingfeng frowned and asked, "Did something happen?" ”

The owner of the rice shop glanced outside and then said: "You don't even open the door to do business for a period of time recently, the Ke family has to send people to go outside your store for a long time every day, and you have also seen it, and now except for the rice shop and grocery store in the city, the others dare not open the door." ”

Zhao Qingfeng still didn't know what was going on: "What happened?" ”

The boss of the rice shop sighed and said softly: "You also know that Lu Dao Yu City is close to Wang Cheng, and you also know what happened in Wang Cheng!" ”

Of course, Zhao Qingfeng knew that the Dao Palace had changed.

Nodding, Zhao Qingfeng didn't say anything, but looked at the owner of the rice shop very suspiciously and asked, "What does this have to do with our business?" ”

The rice shop owner sighed. Then he said: "You also know that the court is now divided into two factions, the left and the right, and Yucheng is now all under the jurisdiction of the right minister, and you also know that there are many officers and soldiers outside the city of Ludao. If you want to maintain the life of the officers and soldiers, you need silver, and the right minister was forced here by the five tiger generals, and he didn't bring much silver. In addition, the treasury is now empty, and there is still silver to support the salary, so the right minister stipulates. If you want to open a shop and do business, you have to pay money, and you pay one tael of silver per day for a shop. The right minister is afraid of people making trouble, so the daily need of the shop will be less cashier. ”

After the owner of the rice shop finished speaking in one breath, Zhao Qingfeng understood it, he didn't expect the right minister to come up with such a solution, no wonder so many shops in the city were not open.

"Then what did you just say about the Ke family?"

The owner of the rice shop looked outside again and said: "You also know the relationship between the Ke family and the right minister, now the Ke family can be said to be the puppet of the right minister, and a lot of the silver that the right minister needs is obtained from the Ke family, and the Ke family naturally gets a lot of rights, I estimate that the Ke family is wandering around in front of your store to attack your shop, and there are already many shops in the city that have been forced by the Ke family to sell their stores." ”

Zhao Qingfeng was secretly surprised when he heard this, if this was really the case, the Ke family would be too rampant, and the right minister would be too rampant.

"Is your store open?" Zhao Qingfeng asked worriedly.

The owner of the rice shop shook his head with a wry smile: "There is no business at all, if it weren't for the right minister forcing us to open the door, I would have closed the door and gone home a long time ago, and I was terrified and scared here every day." ”

The owner of the rice shop was very depressed.

Zhao Qingfeng was shocked in his heart: "By the way, how is the Ji Governor's Mansion now?" ”

No matter what the chaos of this Yucheng is, Zhao Qingfeng doesn't want to care about it, at most, he doesn't do business, but Ji Zhifu is very good to their family, and now the situation is so tense, he really doesn't want anything to happen to Ji Zhifu.

The boss of the rice shop turned a little weird after hearing Ji Zhifu.

"Ji Zhifu's family has been driven out of the city, and their whereabouts are unknown."

"What?" When Zhao Qingfeng heard this, his face changed suddenly, and what he was most worried about actually happened.

"And where do you know where they went?" Zhao Qingfeng was very worried.

The boss of the rice shop shook his head, and then said: "I really don't know what to do, Ji Zhifu's family left in a hurry, and when the right minister came, it seemed that Ji Zhifu had already asked his family to pack up their things, and when the right minister captured the official mansion." Ji Zhifu's family took the initiative to leave, and Ji Zhifu was a good official. Now, ....... ”

Now it is not a war but a civil strife, an era in which the winner is king and the loser is the loser. No one wants to be replaced.

Zhao Qingfeng asked some more things before leaving.

Zhao Qingfeng did not go home, but went out of the city directly.

It's still very early, except for some mobile stalls selling food on the street, and even the restaurant is only open all the way to the Ke's restaurant.

Zhao Qingfeng walked directly to Qin Mengjiao's house.

Now if he wants to know the news, the only person he can trust is Qin Mengjiao's family.

Zhao Qingfeng walked very carefully, observing from time to time whether he was following him.

Fortunately, everything was safe all the way.

Today, Qin Mengjiao and Yang Yike are here.

Qin Mengjiao was sitting at the door, the child on the side was sitting on the mat on the ground and playing, while Yang Yike was sitting next to the child with a decadent face and looking at the child.

Zhao Qingfeng looked at everything in the yard through the low fence. knocked on the door, Qin Mengjiao slowly opened the door.

Seeing Zhao Qingfeng was obviously a little surprised.

"Aomine, you're back, come into the house and sit."

Qin Mengjiao spoke very softly, and her expression was also very kind, she was no longer as strong as before, and what she had now was only a face of wind and frost.

"How was the New Year?" Zhao Qingfeng asked worriedly.

Qin Mengjiao smiled: "You sent us so much meat, and you gave us a good year, your mother is okay!" Qin Mengjiao was embarrassed when she asked this. Now that I think about it, she really did a lot of things wrong before.

In the past, she had hurt too many people just to maintain her pride, which was not worth mentioning at all.

The Qin family was the one who was hurt the most by her.

Now that she has ended up like this, it may be retribution, but she feels that she is lucky. Because their family met Zhao Qingfeng.

"My mother and uncle and grandmother are very good, I came to you today to ask you something."

Zhao Qingfeng said and walked into the house.

Yang Yike saw Zhao Qingfeng coming over, and also stood up: "You're here!" ”

Yang Yike asked lightly. As long as he is not sick, he is like a normal person. If you get sick, you'll be like a madman.

Zhao Qingfeng at this moment is very lucky, Yang Yike is normal.

Zhao Qingfeng nodded with a smile. Then he asked: "I want to ask you, do you know where the family of the prefect of Lu Daoji is now?" ”

Yang Yike looked at Zhao Qingfeng seriously, and said half-loudly: "Zhilu Dao, what are you looking for them?" ”

Zhao Qingfeng was a little excited when he saw Yang Yike's knowledge.

"Then do you know exactly where they live now?"

Zhao Qingfeng just wanted to find the Ji Governor's Mansion and then determine if they were safe.

Yang Yike nodded: "Zhilu Dao, last time I watched them go out of the city, and then I followed to see, they were in Yangjiatang, living in the largest house in Yangjiatang." ”

Zhao Qingfeng's mental calculation was completely relaxed, as long as there was a place to live, there would be no problem.

"Thank you."

Yang Yike shook his head, glanced at Qin Mengjiao and Yang Yike said, "I'll take you there!" It just so happens that I'm fine. ”

It's hard to ask for.

On the side, Qin Mengjiao opened her mouth and said, "Qingfeng will leave after eating!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to go into the kitchen to prepare a meal, Zhao Qingfeng shook his head, and then said: "It's not been peaceful for a while, do you still have any silver?" ”

Qin Mengjiao nodded: "There is still more than half of the two taels of silver you gave us a year ago, you don't have to worry about the silver, do you want us to prepare more food at home?" ”

Zhao Qingfeng nodded and said: "That's what it means, you prepare more food at home, don't go into the city if you can in the near future, so as not to suffer unjustified disasters when you get it." ”

Although Qin Mengjiao is at home every day, she still knows a little about things outside.

Zhao Qingfeng cares about them, so he naturally wants to appreciate them.

"We know you need to be safe, or you move out and live with us! Although our house is a little dilapidated, fortunately it is relatively safe here, and even if something happens, we can leave as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head: "No need, Third Aunt still has companions in the city, we won't be doing business recently, if you lack money, come to me in the alley." ”

Yang Yike on the side said at this time: "Let's go!" Yangjiatang is far away, and when the time comes, it will be dark as soon as it comes and goes, so don't delay the time. ”

After speaking, Yang Yike walked in front and led the way.

After Zhao Qingfeng said goodbye to the Qin family, he immediately followed.

Walk on the road. Yang Yike limped ahead, perhaps getting used to it. Walks very fast.

"I've found Yu Niang." Yang Yike, who was walking in front, said suddenly.

Zhao Qingfeng looked at Yang Yike with some surprise and said, "Then why didn't you bring her back?" ”

Yang Yike sighed and continued: "I used to want to bring her back, but now I don't want to at all. Do you know where she is? ”

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head directly, how could he know the truth.

Yang Yike looked back at Zhao Qingfeng and said disappointedly: "Didn't she run away with someone else before?" Later, the man sold her directly, and now she is in the Goolan Courtyard, in the next town, the last time I went to the next town, I saw her picking up customers at the door, and I inquired only later that I learned that she was sold. ”

Zhao Qingfeng was really surprised, he didn't expect such a result at all.

"Then you didn't go to her?"

Yang Yike smiled bitterly: "No, because I know that even if I go to find her, she may not come back with me." Now that I have a mother and a child at home, I think it's enough, Qingfeng I'm sorry, I used to be too confused, and the people who always thought it was my friends left me sneered at me and saw too much, but I didn't expect that it was you who helped our family the most. ”

Some things can only be known after experiencing how to choose, if Yang Yike is given a chance, Yang Yike will definitely not be such a bastard.

Zhao Qingfeng smiled: "Don't think about it too much, the past is over, and the most important thing now is how to face the future, I believe you know your own choice." Know how to choose, live well with children, if you want to understand, you want to do things. When this thing is over, you can come there! After all, it is enough to earn money to support the family. ”

Zhao Qingfeng also said these words only when Yang Yike woke up now.

Yang Yike was very grateful: "Thank you, thank you, by the way, you just came back and don't know what is going on in Lu Dao City!" ”

Zhao Qingfeng frowned and then said: "I know the way of the road, but I don't know it too well. Tell me what's going on in the city? ”

On the next journey, Yang Yike told Zhao Qingfeng everything in the city, as long as he knew the way. It's all said.

An hour later, Zhao Qingfeng and Yang Yike finally came to Yangjiatang.

Yangjiatang is relatively remote. Although it is only a little more than an hour away from Yucheng, Yangjiatang's location is not near the official road, and even if it is to the village, there is only a narrow road with a horse lane.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Yang Yike pointed to the small village below and said: "This is Yangjiatang, there are not many people in Yangjiatang, I'll take you down!" ”

Yang Yike walks around on weekdays, and thinks that if he encounters something interesting, he will follow it to see the excitement.

At the beginning, Ji Zhifu left with his family, and he didn't even have a carriage, so he followed curiously, but he didn't expect that he could really help Zhao Qingfeng now.

Yang Yike took Zhao Qingfeng to the village.

The village, like most villages, is mostly adobe thatched houses, with the occasional brick or tile house or two.

Yang Yike pointed to a house in front of him and said, "The one in front is the house where the Ji Governor's family lives now." ”

After Yang Yike finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Qingfeng: "I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village, and I'll wait for you to go back together." ”

Zhao Qingfeng nodded and walked to the house in front.

It's a small courtyard, and the walls are only half a person's height, so you can see the inside of the courtyard from the outside.

In the courtyard, Mrs. Ji was holding grain to feed the chickens, while Zizhu on the side was embroidering.

Zhao Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a little sad, Mrs. Ji had done such a thing in the past.

knocked on the door, Zizhu hurriedly put down the embroidery work in his hand and stepped forward to open the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Zhao Qingfeng standing at the door, and he looked a little surprised.

"Zhao Gongzi, how did you find here?"

Mrs. Ji, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, heard Zizhu's words and raised her head to look at the door, but saw Zhao Qingfeng standing outside.

"Is it Zhao Qingfeng?"

Mrs. Ji asked.

Zizhu hurriedly invited Zhao Qingfeng into the courtyard.

Walking into the courtyard, Zhao Qingfeng looked at Mrs. Ji with some concern: "Are you all okay?" ”

Mrs. Ji smiled very satisfied: "It's a little cold outside, let's go into the house and talk!" ”

Master Ji in the room heard the sound of talking outside, and hurriedly walked out, only to see that it was Zhao Qingfeng who was a little surprised: "How did you find here?" ”

"Let's go inside and talk!" Mrs. Ji reminded.

The so-called partition wall has ears, and some things are better to be careful.

Entering the house, Mrs. Ji and Master Ji both sat down, Zizhu was busy making tea, and Zhao Qingfeng saw a young and beautiful woman sitting in the room.

Zhao Qingfeng guessed that it should be the concubine of the Ji Governor's Mansion, so he didn't care much.

"It just so happens that my cousin saw you here, and he brought me here, what happened to Ji Zhifu?"

Zhao Qingfeng was actually very worried.

Ji Zhifu smiled helplessly, and then said: "Nothing happened, you went to the city because you should see the situation in the city, I left voluntarily, I don't want to stand on either side, so retreat is the best decision." ”

After being an official in the court for decades, Ji Zhifu looked down on everything, and now that he is old, he just wants to live a stable life and live a good life.

Zhao Qingfeng looked at Ji Zhifu with burning eyes, hoping that Ji Zhifu could say something in detail.

Ji Zhifu sighed and said: "Actually, you also know that General Chang is stationed outside the city for a purpose, in the past year, General Chang found me and persuaded me to stand on the side of the right minister, I resigned, but the situation is getting more and more tense, I have to make a decision, and I decided to live in seclusion after the last day, which is the best way." ”

If you want to save your life, you can only use this method.

Mrs. Ji smiled at this time: "Actually, it's okay, I persuaded him to resign right now, but he never listened, and now he is happy to live in seclusion, but you must be careful in the city." (To be continued......)
