Wu County, is the county seat of Wu County, that is, the later generations of Suzhou, the territory of the river and port vertical and horizontal, the lake is dense, the landscape is a momentary show, has always had the reputation of heaven on earth.

Xu You had been to Wu County many times in his previous life, but when he really saw the original ancient Suzhou, he still felt the beauty of words, and it was difficult to describe the wonders of this place. Rows of white walls and green tiles are scattered into the shape of jade belts along the winding river, and there are arched stone bridges every few meters, and boats shuttle under them, as if the jade maidens in the sky are weaving gorgeous brocades with mortal things in the world. From time to time, I walked by groups of well-dressed women, with delicate physiques and powdered incense, it was difficult to distinguish between female and male. The busy shipping has created a busier morning market, with the sound of selling, bargaining, shouting, loading and unloading trumpets and roll calls, which together form a long picture of this prosperous and flashy era.

Docking the light boat at one of the twenty-eight wharves in Wu County, Ding Ji paid a cent of gold to the commander guarding the wharf, which is the so-called "landing fee", and then he, a frequent visitor in Wu County, took Zuo Yan ashore to invite a nearby doctor, and on the autumn equinox, he and Ding Ku'er gathered food together.

After a while, the smoke curled up, the fragrance of rice began to diffuse, and the autumn equinox walked in with a bowl of steamed rice, and said with a smile: "Xiaolang, it's time to eat!" ”

Xu You spent the rest of the time in the cabin except for enjoying the scenery when he first entered the city, took the bowl, leaned over and sniffed it, and said, "You can eat your food...... The little girl is good at cooking! ”

This is a poem in "The Book of Songs, Daya", which means running to a distant place to get living water, scooping there, pouring here, steaming rice is delicious, doesn't it sound very sad? That's because steamed rice was a very high-grade food in the past, just like bird's nest shark fin now, which is not an ordinary person's meal. The autumn equinox has been raised by Xu You as a female man since she was a child, and she knows a lot of words, but she has not read a few books, where can she understand what Xu You is reading, sticks out her tongue, and says: "Xiaolang is talking more and more like Yuan's people......"

Does this mean scolding me for being a stinky scholar? Xu You glanced at her and said, "Where's your rice?" Let's eat it together. ”

"No, no, this is not what I did, Ah Ku just went to the grain wharf next to him to buy the best Linyi rice in Ningzhou, and specially made steamed rice for Xiaolang."

The 28 wharves in Wu County have been classified in detail, such as silver wharves for transporting money and silk, grain wharves for transporting rice, wheat and other ingredients, and dung wharves for transporting manure.

"Specially made it for me?"

Xu You knew that Linyi was somewhere in central Vietnam, but it had been part of China during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. This time and space is no exception, and it is under the jurisdiction of Chu Guoning Prefecture.

He took a bite of the rice, which was sweet and smooth in the mouth, and had a completely different taste than the rice in the Sanwu region, and said, "Why did you make it for me?" ”

Speaking of steamed rice, the method is more peculiar, you have to boil the rice in the pot until it is half-cooked, and then pick it up and put it on the Zhenzhong basket to steam, so that the rice grains are swollen, and the rice grains are not sticky, and one grain is one grain.

The word "gluttony" in the Book of Poetry is the practice of steaming rice.

Autumn Equinox pursed his lips and laughed, but didn't reply, Xu You pointed at her and said, "It must be your idea, right?" Don't be like this in the future, I'll eat what you eat, don't worry, your Xiaolang's body is not so squeamish. ”

"Xiaolang has wronged me, it's really none of my business."

"Then let's talk about it, why does Ah Ku look at me differently?"

If this is said directly to Ding Ku, it will be a bit of a flirtation, but with the autumn equinox, it is a joke between the master and the servant.

Autumn Equinox sneered: "Where did Xiao Lang think about it, people didn't look at you differently." She told me, you Xiaolang looks soft and weak, but when you have a cold face, you are really scary, like a general leading thousands of troops, with eyes glaring and beard, as if you are about to kill. She is actually right, aren't all the people of our Xu clan generals who are about to conquer? It's a pity ......"

The autumn equinox's expression darkened, and Xu You, who was afraid of being sad, hurriedly lowered his head, looked at him left and right, and said, "Xiaolang, you can eat quickly, I'll go and see the frost." ”

Looking at the back of the autumn equinox, Xu You shook his head and smiled, although he was burdened with the deep hatred of the Xu family, but those who really wanted revenge would suppress that scarlet desire in the deepest part of their hearts, not to mention hearing others mention it, even if they had the opportunity to stand in front of the Shen family and even the prince in the future, they would also behave as if nothing happened. How can you float your mind for the unintentional words of the autumn equinox?

After eating a bowl of steamed rice, the autumn equinox came over in a hurry, and said: "Xiaolang, why hasn't Zuo Langjun come back yet, she's frosty, she will cough and breathless......"

The expression on Xu You's face did not change at all, he slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Be patient and wait for Fenghu to come back, it's useless for us to be in a hurry." But don't worry too much, the wind and cold are not an emergency, Wu County is where the essence of Sanwu is located, and any doctor is better than our Jinling and I don't know where to go, and I will definitely get rid of the disease. ”

"Well, Lang Jun is right." Autumn Equinox nodded vigorously.

Half an hour later, Zuo Yan took the doctor back to the boat, with long hair and white face, blazing eyes, followed by two waiters carrying medicine boxes.

After a while, Xu You heard Zuo Yan's voice seeing him off, and knew that he had finished his illness. After working on the front and back feet, Zuo Yan lifted the curtain and walked in, Xu You asked, "How?" ”

"The doctor said that it was the evil external bundle of wind and cold, and Wei Yang was contained, so he saw the evil cold......"

"Is this disease serious?"

Zuo Yan said in a deep voice: "It's very serious, this disease has a rapid onset, a long course of illness, and it has to be carefully recuperated after recovery." She is only chilling and obstructed now, but if the cold continues to be strong, she will vomit and be full, and then stay in the meridians, forming a paralysis syndrome or spasm syndrome. ”

Xu You expected that it would not be too light, but he didn't expect it to be so tricky, and said, "Did the doctor prescribe a prescription?" ”

"It's opened, ephedra, Zixing, almonds, mulberry white bark, poria, licorice, etc., seven dollars each, and ......"

"You have medical skills, is there a problem with this recipe?"

Zuo Yan didn't dare to be careless, took out the prescription and looked at it again, and said: "The doctor's broken cold certificate generally uses the prescription of Hua Gaisan, so it is said that there will be no problem...... It's just that Lang Jun also knows that I have only learned a little bit of first aid in the army, and I am not sure about this serious illness. ”

"Take the medicine! Since we don't understand, then trust the doctor's diagnosis! “

In between the decoctions, Xu You went to see the cream and said, "The doctor said, this is a minor disease, and you can get better by taking three or five medicines, don't worry too much." ”

The rosy lips of the frost have become a little chapped due to the cold and evil, and between the weak eyebrows and eyes, there are clusters of cheeks, just like the softness of Xizi's heart, which makes people can't help but feel pity.

"Bother Langjun to bother...... "Lu Shuang covered his lips and coughed a few times, and said intermittently: "When I take the medicine, I want to be able to stand up, and I have to send someone to send me to the city to find a counter-brigade to live in......"

The inn has a long history, in the Han Dynasty it was called the house, and in the Wei and Jin dynasties, it was generally called the reverse travel or guest house. Xu You frowned and said, "Reverse Journey? Aren't you going back to Qingle Building? ”

Lu Shuang stretched out his hand from the quilt, grabbed Xu You's wrist tightly, because of the excessive force, his fingertips were a little white, raised his head, and begged: "Lang Jun...... Ahem, ahem...... I said that before, just not to worry about the autumnal equinox, and not to let you be distracted by this matter again...... In fact, people who can come out of the building would rather die outside than go back...... Lang Jun, please, even if I am still in the city, don't, don't ......"

This is also the proper meaning of the question, as long as you are not a naturally lowly person, you can get out of a place like Qingle Building, and naturally you will not want to go back. Not to mention that the frost is no longer thirteen years old, even if you go back to that day, even if you can still find someone as agreeable as Yuan Erlang to entrust for life, what can you do?

Knowing people and faces but not hearts, the fate of women, especially those with beautiful faces, has never been in their own hands.

Seeing that Xu You was silent, his pretty face turned a little paler, and said: "Lang Jun, I will be fine in the reverse journey, as long as I use enough money, I will be taken care of in the future, and I will be able to heal after a period of time." At that time, whether it was to find a honest and honest person to marry, or to find another way out, there would be no suffering. ”

The money is the room fee, Xu You finally made a decision, took her slender hand, raced back into the quilt, tucked the corner of the quilt casually, stood up and walked outside, waited for the hatch, stopped, and said without looking back: "Wait for the autumn equinox to take care of you to take medicine, and sleep well after taking it." After these two days, when I arrived in Qiantang, I will find a famous doctor for you to diagnose and treat. ”

Lu Shuang was stunned for a moment, looking at Xu You's back and not making a sound, I don't know how long it took, he suddenly pulled up the quilt to cover his head and face, his body trembled slightly, and after a while, he let out a muffled cry mixed with joy and extreme depression.

Xu You walked to the bow of the boat, Zuo Yan greeted him, and said in a low voice, "Do you want me to find an ox cart?" ”

"No need, tell Ding Ji to prepare the ingredients and water, don't delay, and try to leave as soon as possible."

Zuo Yan agreed, nothing unusual, Xu You glanced at him and said, "Don't you ask me why I changed my mind?"

"Lang Jun is a very human being, and he naturally does extraordinary things. Others will choose the best strategy or the middle policy, and Lang Jun chooses the next policy, so naturally there is an intention that others can't guess. ”

Xu You laughed and said, "Fenghu, I said earlier that you are not a talent for sycophants, but this sycophant is good and has improved!" ”

Zuo Yan also smiled, and looked back at the cabin where the frost was shoeed, with a hint of worry in his eyes, but more of a heartfelt admiration for Xu You!

In this world, there are many people who kill people, but there are very few people who can kill people, but they can endure the murderous intention.

For the sake of this very few people, he is willing to die with his life and die without regrets!
