Chapter 318: Confusion

, 0m\\ The morning fog is gone. The golden sunshine falls from the sky, the mountains and mountains are painted with a layer of golden color, and the branches and leaves of the dense forest in the mountains are blowing in the autumn wind, making a loud noise, as if shaking the shining golden leaves.

Walking slowly down a winding mountain road, Chu Zhi said softly: "Chu'er, you were tired of standing just now." Do you want to take a break? ”

Fortunately, the sky is shining brightly, but the trees on both sides of the mountain road are towering, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and there are mountain breezes blowing from time to time, so it is not stuffy and uncomfortable.

"It's fine." Chu'er smiled sweetly and shook her head.

"I thought I could avoid some entertainment by running to the lonely mountain, but I didn't want to be able to meet someone I knew, speaking of which proprietor Yang is still Chu'er's family, but I don't know which branch." Chu Zhen smiled, his eyes swept around, but he didn't find anything to rest.

"Listening to their words, proprietor Yang seems to be from a famous family, and he can't afford to climb high." Chu'er smiled and asked curiously: "Childe seems to have some respect for that Yang Dongzhu." ”

"Chu'er didn't know that some time ago, Hangzhou was short of grain, and many unscrupulous profiteers raised grain prices and cut down the people, but only a few people had stable food prices and were consistent with the government, and Yang Dongzhu was one of them, this kind of benevolence and kindness is indeed admirable." Chu Zhen said with a smile, he has no prejudice against businessmen, but unlike others, he feels that Yang Chengping takes it for granted to do this, and ignores his kindness, after all, not everyone can be unmoved in the face of huge profits.

"Well, a good guy." Chu Yan nodded slightly, and commented lightly, that look seemed unwilling to talk more, the reason is very simple, a smart girl will never talk about other young men in front of her lover.

Chu Zhen didn't know Chu'er's thoughts, and continued: "Chu'er, don't look at Yang Dongzhu's benevolence, righteousness and kindness, but he is not an idle person in the business field, he has only been in business for a few years, but he has made a big name, at least on the surface, he is already the richest man in Hangzhou City. As he spoke, he tightened Chu'er's little hand and said with a smile: "Compared to you, maybe a little smarter." ”

Last night, when the two talked about Bianliang's workshop business, Chu'er took out the account book to show her skills, and Chu Zhen of course did not hesitate to praise it, Chu'er was naturally a little proud, and now Chu Zhen said this, it was nothing more than a joke, and at the same time, there was also a vague reminder, afraid that she would be proud and complacent.

"That's natural, Chu'er is just a little maid, how can she compare with other famous sons." Chu'er said with a soft smile, as for whether she really thought this way in her heart, it was unknown.

Anyway, Chu Zhen felt that there were thorns in his words at the beginning, and there were needles hidden in the cotton, on the surface, he praised Yang Chengping as a famous son, but secretly seemed to be saying that he was nothing more than relying on the shadow of the family to achieve today's achievements.

Chu Zhen smiled and was about to change the topic, but he heard Chu'er ask: "Didn't Childe say that he wanted to open a workshop in Hangzhou, where do you think it is more appropriate?" ”

also said that he didn't care, Chu Zhen smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "Don't worry, you have just arrived in Hangzhou, first familiarize yourself with the local customs and then talk about other things." Chu'er responded softly, and a pair of beautiful eyes as clear as water looked forward to the streamer, revealing a bit of brilliance.

The mountain road is winding and easy, and soon the two of them returned to the place where the boat docked, and the boatman sat in the tent and waited very faithfully, and when he heard the movement from the shore, he looked up and found that it was Chu Zhen and Chu'er, and hurriedly smiled and said: "The two sons are back." ”

"It's almost noon, it's uncomfortable to have an empty stomach, and if you don't come back, you can't eat and drink on the mountain." Chu Zhen said with a smile: "Boat family, what restaurants are there in the nearby town, and the best dishes are more distinctive." ”

Lonely Mountain, as the name suggests, must be outside the effect, the nearby villages are sparsely populated, and Chu Zhen and Chu'er are already planning to visit outside for a day, and they don't want to return to the city so soon, of course, they can only solve the lunch problem in the grass market outside the city.

"Someone understands." The boatman agreed. When Chu Zhen and Chu'er got on the boat and sat firmly, they immediately propped up the long pole, tapped it on the shore, and slowly rowed out the boat.

There is a small slag village on the opposite side of the lonely mountain, because it faces the West Lake, connects the city of Hangzhou, the geographical conditions are superior, and more than two or three hundred households have gathered, the businessmen who usually come to the north to live, if they can't enter the city at night, they also settle down here to stay for a night, and over time, the fishing village is becoming more and more prosperous, forming a small Jiping, which also indirectly illustrates the economic prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

Soon the boat stayed next to the fishing village and went ashore, Chu Zhen found that this is just as the boatman said, it is indeed not an ordinary village, the road is neat and orderly, look at it at will, you can see several grocery shops, rice shops, cloth shops, restaurants, teahouses, everything, the people's houses are scattered among them, if it is not for the lack of a wall, there is no difference from Hangzhou City.

Perhaps it was at noon time, when the pedestrians on the street were relatively sparse, and the boatman led the way in front, turning back and smiling from time to time: "Hu Xianlou is famous in this place, and the dishes made here are not only beautiful, but also have unique flavors, especially the steamed Su fish, braised live carp is the most delicious." ”

Although the name of Huxian Building is Lou, but the faΓ§ade is not big, and there is only one floor, but the tables and chairs are quite neat, and the guy is also honest, seeing that there are guests coming, he immediately greeted him happily, invited the three people into the door, served tea, pointed to the dish sign hanging on the wall and said: "Kejuan, what is the taste?" ”

At Chu Qian's invitation, the boatman also sat down, but it was inevitable that he was a little restrained, just lowered his head and held the tea and cow drink, but he didn't respond, and Chu Zhen ordered a few fresh fish dishes at random according to what he just said, not asking for deliciousness, just asking not to be too bad.

The guy recorded it, sang a loud promise, retreated, after the film, the guy smiled and groaned and brought a porcelain plate up, the fragrance of green onion and meat fat mixed together, fragrant, very attractive, do not forget to say: There is no good dish in the small place, only this steamed fresh fish is authentic, the guest came to our building, that must be tasted. ”

Chu Zhi raised his chopsticks and took a piece of meat from the plate, put it in his mouth and chewed it, although it was not as good as the craftsmanship of the famous chef, but it was also tender and delicious, and it was okay, smiling and nodding to express satisfaction.

"Wait a minute, the rest of the dishes will be here soon." After a while, the man placed two more steaming dishes on the table, plus a jug of wine, and filled them at the same time. Speak slowly, bow and exit.

Seeing that Chu Zhen had already moved his chopsticks, the boatman was not polite, so he took a small sip of wine first, and the aroma of the five-spice spring breeze was fragrant, and the entrance was clear. I took a few more sips at the moment.

While eating delicious umbrellas and drinking fine wine, the boatman felt very comfortable, thinking of the 300 wen ship fare that will be available soon, his heart was even more happy, and at the same time he was full of food and drink, and at the same time, he earned 500 wen money without much effort. Naturally, the more things the better. However, looking at the affectionate meaning revealed by Chu Zhen and Chu'er from time to time, the Ban family sighed at pity, but also couldn't help but shudder, a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly accelerated the speed of eating, and after a few minutes, without waiting for all the dishes to be served, he retreated with a mouth full of oil, and returned to the boat to wait for the two.

The boatman's full thoughts are all on his face, how the two of them don't know, but they don't take it to heart, there is less person, but they are more open, Chu Zhen also made a few jokes about it, which made Chu'er shy.

This meal was eaten for half an hour, but a few plates of dishes on the table did not move much, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, in the Chu family to enjoy the life of brocade clothes and jade food, Chu quality has gradually forgotten the habit of thrift and thrift developed before the crossing, after satisfying the desire of the tongue, he stretched out his hand and waved it, and asked the guy to clean up the cups and plates and serve the tea.

Feeling a little greasy in his mouth, Chu Zhi took a sip of tea, and a bitterness rolled on the taste buds on the tip of his tongue, almost making him vomit. Reluctantly endured, Chu Zhen shook his head slightly, sure enough, it was a restaurant, and he used some shoddy tea to greet the guests, and he didn't mean to sit down and take a nap at the moment, so he waved his hand and asked the guy to come over and settle the bill.

"It's three hundred and twenty-seven dollars." Ma Li reported the number of accounts, and the guy smiled and said politely: "The two guests are good noodles, they are not from other places, if you think the food in this building is acceptable, you will come to patronize it more in the future." ”

Chu Zhen stretched out his hand and took out the money string, handed it to the guy, and when he walked out with Chu'er, he said casually: "The wine and food are okay, it's just this tea, it's thicker." ”

"Tea is a famous tea in Fujian, but it is not coarse, but the water of humble tea is not good." The man led the way with a smile in front, heard some words, and hurriedly turned back to explain, and said apologetically: "Because of the negligence of the person who fetched water in the store, the spring water was exhausted but he forgot to go up the mountain to carry the burden back, and it was too late to get water from the lake, so he had no choice but to use the water in the well, and the taste was naturally a little bitter, and he was really sorry." ”

"Hmm." In fact, Chu Zhen just said it casually, and there was no other meaning, but the man's explanation aroused his curiosity, and he couldn't help but say more: "Since the well water tastes bad, why don't you go farther and dig a well, maybe the taste is sweeter than a mountain spring, and you don't have to run back and forth to the mountains." ”

"Kejuan said it lightly, but the wellhead is not said to be able to hit, and there have been people who have tried it before, and two wells were drilled at the end of the village, not to mention the cost of money, but the taste of the well water is a few points worse than the one near the building." The guy complained.

What's so hard about drilling wells? Stunned, Chu Zhen thought carefully, and immediately understood that he had taken it for granted, after all, it was the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was not as good as the future generations, as long as there was a drilling rig, not to mention drilling a well ten meters deep, even an oil well of hundreds of thousands of meters.

And in ancient times, it was not like the modern cities in the future, not to mention that every household installed tap water, even in relatively remote mountain villages, as long as it is not a serious water shortage area, it is normal for the family to have its own well in front of and behind the house, and at this time, if a mountain village can have two or three wells, it is already very rare.

In the final analysis, it is not good to dig the well, otherwise there will be no saying that the people who drink water do not forget to dig the well, which fully shows that digging the well in ancient times is not only a technical work, but also a matter for the benefit of the people, and has been praised and commemorated by the people.

It is a little difficult to dig a well, but as long as you put some thought into it, it is not difficult to overcome, but how can the well water be bitter, with a trace of doubt, Chu Zhen deliberately circled around the village, took water in the only three wells and tasted it, and found that things were really as the guy said, the well water was cool but bitter, and after tasting it carefully, it was actually a little salty.

Chu Zhi was a little inexplicable, but he didn't know that Hangzhou was originally a piece of land formed by the tide of the Qiantang River, and in the coastal areas, the water quality was not very good, and it was normal for the bitterness to be difficult to swallow.

Just when Chu Zhen was wandering around in the village, Chu'er just followed silently, and then found that he was thoughtful, and he was even more silent, and did not bother to ask, after a few minutes, a little confusion emerged in his heart, Chu Zhen came back to his senses, smiled, and suddenly said: "Chu'er, let's go back." ”

"Good. It's been a long time since I came out. Chu'er responded obediently.

"I originally wanted to travel with you to other places in Hangzhou, but I suddenly remembered something and wanted to go back to the city for verification." With a little apology, Chu Zhen said softly: "You broke your promise, you are not strange at the beginning."

The delicate and smooth slender hand caressed Chu Zhi's lips, and Chu'er said, "Childe doesn't need to say much, Chu'er understands." Ignoring the strange gazes of others, Chu Zhi grabbed her fragrant hand, skimmed it gently, and then walked away.

When they came to the shore, the boatman immediately smiled and said, "Two sons, but I don't know where to go?" ”

"Back to the city." Chu Zhen said, in fact, he also knew that there was no difference between going back half a day early and going back half a day late, but he chose to return early, often saying that he was afraid of trouble and didn't want to do much, but it was difficult to forget his responsibility in his heart.

After that, the boatman asked again, confirmed undoubtedly, and happily agreed, the bamboo pole lightly tapped the boat and looked more like an arrow than Chu Qian, which is also understandable, after all, it is only afternoon, and listening to Chu Qian's meaning, it is obviously not ready to charter a boat, in this way, on the premise of earning five hundred yuan, you can still have half a day, whether it is to go home, or to take a few more lying business, it is a beautiful thing.

The boat staggered and docked on the edge of the West Lake in the city, Chu Zhen took out half a string of money from his arms, and did not count it, but threw it directly to the boatman, listening to his laughter and thanks. helped Chu'er to the shore. waved his hand and hired a car and went straight to the county office.

Entering through the back door and walking to the backyard, Chu Zhen said: "Chu'er, after walking for a long time, you are also tired, go back to the room to rest for a while, I still have some things,"

"Chu'er really understands that Gongzi is no longer a talented man who had nothing to do, but a dignified county who governs the people, and he can't be idle." Chu'er smiled and said: "I can accompany Chu'er to talk about my children's private affairs for a long time, and Chu'er is already satisfied,"

"That's good." Chu Zhen said, Leng might as well hug the delicate body of the first fragrant, lower his head, sip two sweet red lips, the fiery tongue drove straight in, and the resentful left and right teased, without stopping the circle.

Well, Jiao snorted, Chu'er's beautiful eyes seemed to contain a pool of crystal blue rain, gently stretched the jade arms like tender lotus, wrapped around the neck of Chu quality, and the fresh and full lips were slightly opened, like a ripe peach, as if waiting for him to pick.

Chu Zhi hugged her thin waist with both hands, her delicate skin was as smooth as silk, and the breasts of the two were close together, and she could clearly feel the smoothness and elasticity of Chu'er's chest, grinding gently, and the two of them were short of breath.

After a long while, Chu Zhi easily opened the slippery and crispy softness in his palm, and whispered next to Chu'er's crystal clear earlobe: "Let's go back to the room to rest first, we have time to chat slowly in the evening."

Chu'er's face was flushed. A pair of charming eyes are as graceful as water, foggy, when opening and closing, there is a seductive seductive meaning, and the heart is full of willingness, but I can't let go of the reserved nod.

"Do you think it's okay?" Chu Zhen didn't want to let go of Chu'er easily, opened his mouth, and took her delicate earlobes in his mouth.

Feeling Chu Zhi's hot and thick snort lingering in his ears, gently teasing the sensitive girl's love silk, the crystal clear skin behind Chu'er's ears was already red, delicate and delicate, and a row of snowy and fine teeth bit his lower lip tightly, and he didn't speak.

The two of them crossed their necks. Spring love is pervasive, limbs are entangled, skin to skin is kissing, and the touching numbness and pleasure come from the other party's body, just when Chu Zhen was thinking about whether to go back to the room first to solve the physiological problem, or to deal with the business according to the original intention just now, when heaven and man were fighting, he heard a sound and woke up the two who were drunk.

Chu Zhen raised his eyes and looked. But I saw a little maid standing beside her with a disgraced face, her mouth wide open, and she looked at her dumbfounded, and there was a fallen wooden basin under her feet, which kept swaying in circles.

"Ahh Chu'er Qiaohong was suddenly overflowing with fat red, as if she was about to drip blood, and tore off the thief's hand that Chu Zhi had left on her chest, rolled up a burst of fragrant wind, and hurried back to the room.

"Rare and weird." Yu Xiang lingered, glared at the maid, Chu Zhi said stupidly, and turned to leave, leaving only the maid whose small face had turned into a big red flower cloth.

I came to the government office to learn. The scribes and officials stepped forward to salute one after another, Chu Zhen nodded, and walked quickly to the signing room, but saw Liu Renzhi lying on the case, holding a pen in his hand, and kept giving instructions on official documents.

coughed, cleared his throat, and when Liu Renzhi looked up when he heard the voice, Chu Zhen smiled and said, "The master book has worked hard." ”

Liu Renzhi hurriedly got up to greet him, and said with concern: "The adult is unwell, why don't you stay in the room to recuperate." "It seems that I don't know about Chu Zhen's private micro-service play, or I already know about it, but I deliberately said it, and I didn't plan to expose it.

Two perfunctory sentences. Chu Zhen cut directly to the point, and said suspiciously: "Master book, this official suddenly has something unclear, and I hope you will give me advice." ”

"Your Excellency is welcome. If there is something to be ordered, as long as the subordinate knows it, he will definitely know everything. Liu Renzhi said with a smile.

Chu Zhen nodded lightly. Suddenly, he said softly: "The embankment five miles away from the eastern outskirts of the city collapses during the rainy season, do you know about this?" ”

His eyes were fixed on Liu Renzhi's face, and he found that his face changed suddenly, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he was silent. However, Chu Zhi didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask, just picked up the tea soup and savored it carefully.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Renzhi secretly gritted his teeth and admitted in an astringent voice: "The lower official knows." ”

You put down the teacup, Chu Zhen's face suddenly sank, and when he slapped the table, the cup jumped up, which also made Liu Renzhi shocked. After all, Chu Zhen gave people the impression that even if he was angry, he was a gentle appearance, and he had never seen him lose his temper so much.

"Not to mention the rainstorm season, even the ordinary rain can actually break the dam, which should be unbreakable, is this still a mud and stone dike, it is not even as good as tofu dregs." Chu Zhen said angrily.

The reason why he is so angry is that he is judging things by facts, and second, he is not angry, and anyone is almost hung up because of this incident. How can you not hold back the fire in your belly, the tofu scum project is really harmful.

Chu quality figurative image. Liu Renzhi thought so, but he didn't dare to applaud, lowered his head and continued to remain silent.

"Tell me, why." After venting, his heart was indeed much more comfortable, Chu Zhen slowly calmed down, and said lightly: Is it really so difficult to repair a small hoarding dam. A sneer appeared on his face, and he also guessed a few of them, I am afraid that it is not that the embankment is difficult to repair, nor that the natural disasters are terrible, but that it is harmful to people.

"It's been six years." Liu Renzhi muttered: "In the first year, the embankment was in disrepair for many years and was washed away overnight by heavy rain. "Worried Zhongzhong, immediately went to the table to ask the court to allocate silver grain to repair, and in the second year, it rained for a few days, and was soaked in water, but the embankment collapsed a corner" was very anxious, and called on the people to lose money and contribute to repair it, and in the third year, the rain has not fallen, and half of the embankment collapsed

Only,, what excuse is there. Chu asked, his face expressionless.

"Why do you need any excuses, if you go down with an order, who dares to disrespect." Liu Renzhi smiled bitterly.

"He had forgotten. Erlu Erlu, the people anoint the people's fat. The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive.

Chu Zhen snorted coldly and asked, "It's so blatant, could it be that the state government and the superintendent are deaf?" "I've already started to think about how to write the impeachment memorabilia.

"How can you not hear it, if it is not so, how can you come here to take office." Liu Renzhi said in a low voice, secretly shaking his head in his heart, he was too greedy, and he didn't restrain it, which caused the people to complain, and it was strange if he was not dismissed and investigated.

It turned out that his predecessor was in this fate, and he thought that he was promoted and left, Chu Zhen was suddenly, and secretly blamed Changgui in his heart for reporting to himself without inquiring clearly, in order to hide a trace of embarrassment, he hurriedly scolded: "It deserves to be like this." ”

Liu Renzhi nodded again and again, his eyes rolled down, and he seemed a little uneasy.

"This matter will be reported to the Taishou truthfully, and there is still some competition for food in the yali, so take advantage of the cold winter to recruit people as soon as possible to repair the embankment." Chu Zhen said, although he is not happy to clean up the mess for his predecessor, you must know that the rainy season has not passed, and you can't let the stagnant water wash downstream and flood the nearby villages.

"Xia Guan understands." Liu Renzhi responded, and when he saw that Chu Zhen didn't seem to inquire about it, he couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's right." As if he suddenly remembered something, Chu Zhi opened his mouth and said, which made Liu Renzhi's heart rise again.

"Do you know how well water suddenly tastes bad?" Chu Qian's face was full of confusion.

The half-hung heart fell again, but it was very uncomfortable, Liu Renzhi wiped the sweat in his palms and asked, "What do you mean by this, my lord." ”

Suddenly, his words were not explained, and Chu Zhen explained: "Today, some time ago, this official happened to pass by in a fishing village outside the city, and found that the well water in the village was bitter, but I heard the local people say that ten days ago, although the well water was not sweet, but it could still be eaten, why did it suddenly change its taste in a short period of time?" ”

Last night's leader's birthday, called poison and drinking, no one will go, I won't come back until half past twelve, and I'm really embarrassed to break the shift for a day.
