The next morning, the winter sun was shining on the windows, the ships were still undulating, the copper furnace was extinguished, and it was a little cold in the house.

Xu Buling leaned on the pillow, wrapped the futon tightly, and looked at the eldest lady on his arm by the faint light, smiling with a little playfulness.

Xiao Qi only had a chance to sleep in the early morning, her cheeks were still a little flushed, the green silk was attached to her cheeks, she looked a little lazy, and her perennial tight heartstrings were vented and relaxed, and even her skin was a little more shiny.

As the saying goes, 'A good woman is afraid of pestering her', and after a long time of trouble last night, Xiao Qi couldn't help it, and finally obeyed half-pushed. Once the tenacious mind is relaxed, it is not easy to recover, just like the collapse of a dam poured over the heart, the hundred emotions that have accumulated in the heart in the past are vented in one go, and I almost forget what I call it.

However, this time Xiao Qi was awake, not as cooperative as last time, with her eyes closed and looking like she was being tortured, pinching the futon and refusing to make a sound.

Xu Buling felt that it was not interesting, so he stopped halfway to make a rest, deliberately teasing her. Xiao Qi waited for a long time, and when she saw that Xu Buling didn't move, she quietly opened her eyes and looked at it, closed it again, and waited for a while, and after finding that Xu Buling still didn't move, she raised her hand and beat someone: "Hurry up, hurry up...... You're endless......"

After the two of them hugged each other and slept together, Xiao Qi also took out the small purse he carried with him and gave it to Xu Buling, which contained a piece of cloth cut from the palace and a red plum blossom printed on it.

Xu Buling didn't expect Xiao Qi to think of this in that situation, and he felt a little guilty in his heart. However, these things can only be slowly made up for in the future.

It was already dark, and everyone on board woke up.

Xu Buling was admiring Xiao Qi's face, and the sound of the ghost crying wolf howled at the back of the cabin was remembered:

"Auntie...... I was wrong......"

Xiao Qi's eyelashes trembled a few times, and then her body shook slightly, she opened her eyes suddenly, and Xu Buling looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, she hurriedly turned up, holding her scattered skirt with an indignant face:

"You bastard, you ...... How dare you ...... me"

？？

Xu Buling was a little inexplicable, covered Xiao Qi's shoulders with a futon to avoid catching a cold, and said softly: "Wasn't it okay last night......

Xiao Qi's memory seems to only stay when Xu Buling deceived her into coaxing her to the embroidery bed, her eyes were cold as if she had been bullied, and she said in a deep voice:

"Nothing happened last night, if you dare to talk about it to outsiders, I still won't marry you. Don't think that I will be strong, I will be your man......"

"Uh......"

Xu Buling nodded, tilted his head and gestured: "It's still early, do you want to ...... again?"

"Don't think!"

Xiao Qi was afraid of being discovered, where did she dare to continue to stay in the room, putting the black light belly pocket on her body, maybe her heart fluctuated too much, and the strap behind her couldn't be tied for a long time, seeing Xu Buling looking at it sideways, her eyes showed a little annoyance:

"You tie it for me, the light will come off, right?"

Xu Buling coughed lightly and raised his hand to tie a bow.

Xiao Qi put on her skirt two or three times, walked to the door with embroidered shoes, listened attentively, and after making sure that there was no one in the corridor, she walked out quickly on tiptoe, looking like the eldest lady who was eating outside......

When Xu Buling saw this scene, he felt a little wrong, as if he had been taken advantage of.

But men, too, shouldn't care about the gains and losses......

-------

The boat went down the river in this way, and entered Hangzhou Bay four days later, along the Qiantang River into the capital of the south of the Yangtze River, which may also be the most prosperous city in the world, and the time also reached the first day of the winter month, and there were still two months before the end of the year.

Muzhou, which is 100 miles away, is the hardest hit area of the flood, Hangzhou has been more or less affected, and many displaced people have gathered outside the city, but it is gratifying that a large shantytown built outside the city has been built to resist the severe cold for the people affected by the disaster, and there are officers and soldiers escorting the grain truck over, and the flag of Wu Wangfu is planted on the car.

Xu Buling disembarked at the pier and accompanied Lu Hongluan to Hangzhou, seeing this scene, Lu Hongluan's eyes showed some praise:

"King Wu still has a good reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, with the flag of King Wu's mansion, when King Wu himself opened a treasury for disaster relief, I am afraid it will cost a lot this winter."

Xu Buling nodded slightly, but he had nothing to say about this. When there was a famine in the territory under the jurisdiction of the vassal king, disaster relief was deserved, but under normal circumstances, public funds were used for disaster relief. Paying out the silver by himself is equivalent to the emperor not moving the silver in the country, but opening his own treasury to help the people, which is indeed selfless.

Xiao Qi also sat in the carriage, in public, always the plain appearance of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing color, looking out of the carriage, he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Xiao Ting was in a good mood, and he was quite enthusiastic about shaking a fan for his aunt in the cold winter:

"Auntie, last time I just went to drink, drank a few more glasses, and didn't linger on the occasion. If you don't believe it, ask Xu Buling, back then in Chang'an, Xu Buling and I were the two most upright and well-known women......"

He doesn't get into women? Xiao Qi's eyes were slightly cold......

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she also wanted to stop talking, and her elbow lightly hit Xu Buling.

Xu Buling can do anything, Xiao Ting hit the knife edge by himself, isn't he talking now adding fuel to the fire.

"Really, I'm as clean as Xu Buling, when I was in Chang'an City, I don't know how many girls blocked the two of us outside the door, we never paid attention, and only read the sages and sages......"

Xiao Qi wanted to say a few words but didn't know where to speak, the cold wind blew his face painfully, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he raised his hand and pointed outside:

"You go down for me."

Xiao Tingru was pardoned, got up and ran out.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi said coldly to the guards outside: "Don't give him silver." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Ting's steps froze, and he just wanted to turn around and say something good, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get out, so he said: "I want to do something with silver, so I will go out to see the scenery......"

Xiao Qi rubbed her forehead, worried that this stupid nephew would be embarrassed when she went out to eat the overlord's meal, but she still waved her hand to let the guards follow.

The carriage was finally cleared, but as soon as Xiao Ting left, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Xu Buling looked at the two charming beauties, and when he was bored, he put his hand on the side of Mrs. Lu's leg and rubbed it gently.

Lu Hongluan's eyes widened suddenly, lowered his head, moved to the side slightly, secretly pinched Xu Buling, and then motioned for Xiao Qi to be beside him.

Xu Buling smiled lightly, got up and sat next to Xiao Qi again, and said:

"The eldest lady seems to be in a bad mood these days, but what's the trouble?"

“……”

Xiao Qi's eyes were slightly cold, and he couldn't say that he hadn't eased up after being ordered to use it a few days ago, and said flatly:

"I'm thinking about King Wu's birthday banquet, it's nothing."

Xu Buling nodded, looked out the window, moved his hand to Xiao Qi's back quietly, and slid down from his back:

"King Wu opened a private treasury for disaster relief, it seems that the government really can't collect the silver......"

Xiao Qi sat up slightly straighter, and her eyes widened, a little incredible. Quietly glanced at Lu Hongluan on the opposite side, and when he saw Hongluan looking out of the window, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and pushed Xu Buling's hand away with his elbow:

"The imperial court taxes are too heavy, and there is no silver in the treasury...... You ......"

Xiao Qi is not a submissive woman, she was kneaded and pinched a few times, and when she saw that Xu Buling was still energetic, she turned her head and glared angrily: "Xu Buling!" ”

Lu Hongluan was startled by the angry voice, turned his head, and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Buling didn't expect Xiao Qi to be so bold, coughed lightly, and made an innocent appearance:

"yes, what's wrong?"

Xiao Qi stared at Xu Buling coldly, held it for a long time, and then continued:

"Hongluan is here today, you make it clear to me, how many women do you have outside? Let me marry you, you have to explain this clearly! ”

Lu Hongluan was inexplicable, he was still talking about King Wu just now, why did he suddenly turn the topic to this. She hurriedly helped the baby pimple explain:

"Miss, Ling'er has always been clean and self-conscious, and she has not messed with flowers and grass outside. Well...... But there are indeed a few girls who have a good relationship, all of them are women from innocent families, and I have seen them all......"

Xu Buling secretly sighed, 'It's still good for auntie', nodded and chuckled: "Yes, Aunt Lu said it very clearly." ”

Xiao Qi stabilized the situation, so naturally he didn't ask more, snorted lightly, and sat far away.

The carriage with a group of guards marched on the official road full of cars and horses, and arrived outside Hangzhou after walking for about half an hour.

Seeing the frame of the Xiao family coming, Han Xianchu, who was waiting outside the city gate, with a bunch of Hangzhou officials, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him:

"Greetings to the prince of Su and Miss Xiao to Hangzhou, King Wu heard that the prince had arrived today, and wanted to come in person, but the old illness had not healed and he was unable to move. Let Han prepare a banquet in the West Lake Minghe Tower, and wash the dust for the prince and Miss Xiao......"

There are many big families who came to Hangzhou to go to King Wu's birthday banquet, and Xu Buling did not beat the flag of King Su, and let the staff take the Hangzhou officials out of the city to greet them, and the specifications can be said to be very grand.

Xu Buling picked up the curtain and glanced at it, without letting the Hangzhou officials pick up the wind and wash the dust, and nodded slightly:

"Thank you King Wu for your kindness, tomorrow's birthday banquet will definitely catch up with King Wu, the road is a little tired, please go back."

Han Xianchu knew that Xu Buling didn't look down on these officialdom entertainment, and he came over just to make a show to deepen Xu Buling's good impression of King Wu, and he didn't insist at the moment, and watched the frame and the Xiao family enter Hangzhou City......
