Putting aside these worries, the autumn equinox looked at the sky and said worriedly: "It's all time, it's time for Xiaolang to eat......"

Xu You shook his head and said: "This doesn't make sense, you only eat when you're hungry, and it doesn't matter what time of day." ”

In fact, from the perspective of the development of civilization, eating on time represents an important sign that human beings have got rid of the primitive era and entered a civilized society. From the pre-Qin and Han dynasties to the present, ordinary people have two more meals a day, one in Chen, which is called "Chao Food", and one in Shen, which is called "Food", which cannot be moved, but the princes and nobles enjoy the privilege of three meals. There is a sentence in the inner chapter, "Those who are suitable for the reckless, three meals are reversed, and the stomach is still true", which shows that the three-meal system has been around for a long time, but it is limited to the privileged class.

But after all, Xu You, who was used to eating lunch at twelve o'clock at noon, stayed up to the current Shen Shi, that is, at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, he was already hungry, so for him, the top priority in front of him was not the threat of the Shen family, but how to fill his stomach.

After two generations of governance by An's father and son, the people of Chu now live in peace and live a rich life, unless they are lazy, it is not a problem to be fed and clothed. But Xu You is now recovering from a serious injury, and his identity is sensitive, so he can't be self-reliant at all, and the autumn equinox has been raised in the Xu family's mansion since he was a child, although he is a slave, but he lives far more than ordinary farmers, even compared to the girls of the rich family, she is not inferior, plus she is young and does not understand the world, so it is easier to let her go out to make a living and make money.

Therefore, the simple problem of food and clothing seems to have become a dead knot!

The two sat opposite each other until the sun set, and they really didn't think of any way, and the autumn equinox suddenly stood up and said: "I have water sex, since others can catch it, I can catch it too." Xiaolang, you wait a while, I'll go to the river to catch a few fish and come back! ”

Xu You learned to be obedient this time, he didn't reach out to pull, don't look at the autumn equinox, but his strength is really big enough, and he reprimanded: "How can it be so easy to catch fish?" You see, those old fishermen, who have caught fish all their lives, may not be able to catch a few of them sometimes. Besides, you are a little lady, how can you go into the water shirtless? This dress alone will wrap you all in the water...... These are the secondly, now in late autumn, the weather is warm and cold, if you are sick from the cold, what should you do? ”

Autumn Equinox said bitterly: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, but Xiao Langjun is still hungry......"

Looking at the history of the dynasty, for thousands of years, most of the rebellions with their heads are because they are hungry and can't live, so they rise up, and it can be seen that the first tragedy in the world is an empty stomach. That feeling is like a terrible ghost hand stretched out from the stomach, inch by inch, inch by minute, crushing your internal organs, and then sprinkling salt, and letting thousands of ants crawl back and forth on it, people who are not really hungry can't understand it at all.

The two had no food to eat that night, so they had to rest early, Xu You didn't know if he was hungry, and he didn't wake up until the next day. The autumn equinox was by the bedside early, and when he saw him open his eyes, he hurriedly said: "Xiaolang, the Taishou Mansion sent someone over, and I have been waiting outside for half an hour." ”

"Taishoufu? Why didn't you wake me up sooner? ”

"That lord ordered, don't let Lang Jun rest until he is noisy, and say that it is okay for him to wait."

Xu You got dressed under the service of the autumn equinox, put on a tiara, put on high clogs, and walked to the outside to take a look, the person who came was wearing a green robe and linen robe, standing against the courtyard gate with his hands in his hands, and his expression was very indifferent.

Xu You clasped his hands into fists and arched high, and said: "I don't know which adult is here in person, Xu You has missed the distance, please forgive me." ”

The person who came turned around, Qingjun's face showed a look of perseverance, and said: "Qilang's complexion has really improved compared to a few days ago, and he is under Li Zhi!" ”

The person who came was actually Li Zhi, the new Taishou of Yixing County, and when the night was in turmoil, Xu Meng, who was also Xu You's cousin, was killed by the rebels. In order to calm down the chaos as soon as possible, the heart of the people of Anyixing County sent Li Zhi, who has always had a clean reputation and was born in a poor family, to take over the post of Taishou.

However, he claimed to be under the government and did not wear an official uniform, which should be to avoid people's eyes and ears, and to meet Xu You in a private capacity.

Xu You shook it to the ground and said, "It turned out to be Lord Fujun, it's really rude to bother your Lord to wait for a long time!" ”

Li Zhi didn't have any arrogance, stretched out his hand to help him, and said: "Qilang, don't be polite, I'm here to be abrupt, I'll leave after a few words to you, and I'll be free of false courtesy." ”

"Yes, please take a seat." Xu You looked at the poverty in the house, and the only two coarse linen futons were still put away by the autumn equinox, and said with a wry smile: "This place is simple, wait for the prince." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just stand and talk." He motioned for Xu You to take a few steps closer, his face was solemn, and said, "The Xu family suddenly encountered a catastrophe, do you know the root cause?" ”

Xu You didn't understand why Li Zhi asked about this, but he still replied honestly: "The suspicion of the prince is getting heavier and heavier, and the injustice of the ancestors is gradually full, and the Shen family fanned the flames, which eventually caused this disaster!" ”

Li Zhi looked at Xu You in surprise, as if he didn't expect that this Xu family Qilang, who has never had a good reputation, would have such insight, but he didn't say anything, the Xu family suffered this catastrophe, the elite in the clan were killed and injured, and they were stripped of their scholars, becoming the most ordinary Shu clan, there is no possibility of recovery, there is only one Xu Qilang left, even if he has some knowledge, what can he do?

"At the beginning, the prince and the Shen family were too urgent, and the lord reluctantly promised to give you only one month to recuperate, but I think the lord's original intention seems to have room to turn around, so I want to wait for the time limit of these few days, on the pretext that your injury has not healed, it is not appropriate to travel far, delay for a while, and then look for an opportunity, maybe I can ask the lord to allow you to stay in this county...... You don't have to thank you, I'm not doing this for you, it's because the Xu clan has made a lot of achievements for my Great Chu, and I can't let the Xu clan lose the bloodline...... But people are not as good as heaven, and yesterday's public appearance in front of everyone has spread all over Jinling City at this moment, and this plan is no longer feasible. And it doesn't hurt to tell you something, just now Wei Tianzhi, the prince of the East Palace, came to see me, conveyed the prince's decree, and ordered me to urge Qilang to leave for Qiantang within a time limit, and not to stay in Yixing......"

Generally, the will of the Son of Heaven is called "edict", and the edict of the prince is called "teaching", since even the prince has come forward, the next words do not need to be said explicitly, Xu You already understands what Li Zhi means. No matter how official he is, after all, he is just a five-grade guard, and he doesn't dare to disobey the prince openly, so no matter whether the injuries on his body are healed or not, he must leave Yixing at the end of the month.

As for why he was in a hurry to drive himself away, Xu You knew that Yixing was the location of Xu's county, and it had been operating for a hundred years, and it had already firmly linked flesh and blood with this place, although after that night, the rebels killed for three days in a row, slaughtering the Xu Manchus, but as long as one person did not die, those behind the scenes would have trouble sleeping.

Especially on the way to hunting, when the emperor heard about this, he hurriedly returned to Luan Jinling, and issued three edicts in a row, ordering the Shen family to collect his troops and return to Wuxing, and ordered Li Zhi, who was neutral, to take up his post to calm the people's hearts, and search for the orphans of the Xu family, and properly resettle them. It was the emperor's ambiguous attitude that made these murderers who single-handedly created this extermination case panic, and they had to do everything possible to expel Xu You from Yixing to prevent another wave.

Xu You was very calm, bowed his hand, and said: "Lord Fujun's grace to live, Xu You will never forget!" Since the prince has issued a decree, I will not embarrass the prince, and give me another three days, at which time I will leave Yixing and go to Qiantang County to settle down. ”

Li Zhi's eyes showed appreciation, and he said: "Okay, when it is decided, it is decided, and the husband should act like this!" However, you can also relax, the Lord did not send you to Panyu, nor did he distribute Wuxing, but personally circled Qiantang, which is still intended to protect you. ”

Panyu is Guangzhou, which is the first place where the Chu clan was exiled, and Wuxing County is the county of the Shen family.

Sent Li Zhi away, Xu You thought about it carefully, Yixing is actually not a place to stay for a long time, the most important thing for him now is to Taoguang and keep his mind, and the more low-key he is, the better, but as long as he is in Yixing, there will always be Xu's surviving tribes in the future to find himself, trying to make a comeback, and if he comes and goes, he will definitely be informed by the Shen family, and he will sue the prince, saying that he has a grudge, and he is afraid that he will not have this opportunity at that time, and he can save his life.

Therefore, it is necessary to leave Yixing, Qiantang County of Chu belongs to Wu County, not within the sphere of influence of the Shen family, and the climate is humid, the land is fertile, and the economy is developed.

But the question is, he is now poor and white, and he can't even afford to eat, so why did he move to Qiantang with the autumn equinox? Yixing is more than 370 miles away from Qiantang by land, the road is far away, and there are often trail-cutting bandits, it is not very peaceful, the cost of hiring an ox cart alone is astronomical for him, not to mention the cost of accommodation and food along the way? But if you take the waterway, although you go down the river, you have to pass through the Dujiang River, enter the Tiaoxi, and just pass through Wuxing County, which is the territory of the Shen family, not a sheep into the mouth of the tiger? However, to divert to the west of Lishui and take the Shuiyang River, it takes a lot of time, and the cost of boats is not a few.

At the end of the day, it's one word: money!

But he was weak, and he had just crossed into this world, his eyes were black, and where could he get such a large sum of money?
