Ye Xun had a habit of getting up every morning to practice his sword for a while, and then go to wash.

In the early morning, the sun is shining, looking warm but not dazzling. The morning dew is not dry, and the air is mixed with dampness and coldness, and it feels very comfortable. Ye Xun stood in the center of the courtyard, with the sword behind his back, he took a deep breath, and a sword was like a dragon out of its sheath, flying and neighing in the air. The sword blade was so fast that there was no sword shadow at all, only the cold light flashed, and the sword roared......

After playing a set of swords, Ye Xun sweated slightly on his forehead, feeling comfortable all over, but he could hear Wen Du's clapping sound behind him, "Good sword!" Good sword! ”

Ye Xun smiled awkwardly, "Can you finish it?" ”

Wen Du was a little confused, "My lord, a good sword?" ”

Ye Xun lowered his head and smiled helplessly.

Wen Du suddenly understood what Ye Xun meant, and hurriedly explained, "My lord, my subordinates don't mean this. I think your swordsmanship is so exquisite! There is a poem: 'Huo Ruyi shoots nine sunsets, and he is like a group of emperors and dragons. Come like thunder to restrain anger, and let it be like the river and sea condensing the light. 'These poems of Non-Du Shaoling can't express your magical swordsmanship. ”

Ye Xun smiled, "Don't pat yourself!" ”

Ye Xun and Wen Du studied the work plan, and they were a little tired after reading the official document for a long time. Wendu proposed to go to the street to observe the people's feelings, and Ye Xun readily agreed. Two people in plain clothes walked on the streets of Hangzhou. Hangzhou is a historic city, not only with a warm and pleasant climate, but also with a picturesque landscape. On the calm and blue lake, a few delicate boats, a unique white stone bridge is crossed on the lake, and the weeping willows by the lake are still there, and the tourists are weaving. The pavilion not far away is small, the height is uneven, layer upon layer, the red wall and green tile, the carved railing and the eaves, contrast with each other. This poetic artistic conception makes it difficult to distinguish between being in the world and being in a fairyland......

They came to a street lined with merchants. The street is crowded like a bazaar. Both sides of the street are filled with a wide variety of goods, from furniture and antiques to needles and threads. The streets are full of people, incense wafting everywhere, and all kinds of cries and cries are endless......

Ye Xun noticed that most of the pedestrians were dressed in silk clothes, and they were very particular. Seeing this situation, Ye Xun couldn't help but sigh, "It is said that Jiangnan is rich, and it really deserves its reputation!" ”

Wen Du couldn't help but pull up the poem, "This place is really 'the pearl of the city, the household is rich, and the competition is luxurious." ’”

Ye Xun glanced at him, couldn't help but smile, and sneered, "Mr. Shen, the export is a chapter, it's really knowledgeable!" ”

Not to be outdone, Wen Du fought back, "Lord Ye, is this envy?" 'There is poetry and books in the belly', which is not enviable. ”

Ye Xun looked at him and knew that one day he would become as flamboyant as Xiaohu, but he didn't expect it to become so fast. "Joke! What do I have to envy when I am sour? ”

Wen Du just smiled and ignored it. He and Ye Xun looked at the goods on the stall, and Wendu said to Ye Xun, "My lord, Zhejiang's annual tax revenue is among the best in the country, and these hawkers have a share of credit." ”

"Don't say it, you know a lot about the politics of a brocade guard?"

"Caring about the government and the world is the duty of our readers. My lord, do you know which industry you should investigate the most in Hangzhou? Is it a big tax payer among these businesses? ”

Ye Xun thought for a while and said, "Restaurant Tea House? ”

Wen Du shook his head, "This industry is very prosperous in Hangzhou, and it can be said that it is extremely popular. Even our ancestors have built 14 arms in Jiangnan to vigorously develop this industry. ”

Ye Xun was still confused, "Silk fabric? ”

"I'm talking about the merchant industry, not the industry. Well......" Wendu made a shy gesture, "The peach leaf fan, hiding his face and looking back, said that the pipa strings are lovesick......"

"Qinglou?! Wendu, you've learned badly! Obscene poetry and prodigal words come when you open your mouth? What a humiliation! No wonder the emperor can't reuse it! Ye Xun gave him a blank look and said with fake disgust.

"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. Do you know how much tax money this industry has to pay to the state every year? Do you still have to rely on them for your performance evaluation in Hangzhou? Wen Du hurriedly explained.

"Do you mean that if their business is not good, I still have to help them solicit customers? Tell you who loves to investigate and who goes! Our family is very strict, and if you step into that kind of place, you will break your leg immediately. ”

"My lord, it's really awe-inspiring!" Wen Du gave him a thumbs up and pretended to compliment him.

Ye Xun suddenly stopped what he was doing and stood still. "Wendu, do you smell anything?"

Wen Du sniffed hard, "No?" What does it taste like? The smell of food wafting from the restaurant? Are you hungry? ”

"It's not. From the moment I stepped into the boundaries of Hangzhou, I always smelled a faint, vague fragrance. I can't tell what the fragrance is, but it smells so good. It's getting clearer now. Ye Xun began to sniff and look around, "The source of this fragrance is nearby......"

"What scent? Why didn't I smell it? "Wendu was a little confused by Ye Xun." My lord, let's get down to business, shall we? ”

Ye Xun pulled Wen Du through the crowd, and suddenly Ye Xun stopped moving, staring at the front in a daze. A person passed by him, Ye Xun could be sure that the fragrance was emanating from this person, he quickly turned his head, and a beautiful face quickly crossed in front of him. He turned around and pulled Wendu to slowly follow the man......

Wen Du looked dazed, "What are you doing?" What's wrong? What happened? ”

"It's her! It's her! "Ye Xun is like an evil spirit.

"Who is it? Who is it? Wendu stood still and asked him.

Ye Xun didn't pull him, so he had to stop and say to him, "That fragrance is coming from that girl." Quick, let's follow her. ”

Wen Du looked at the girl walking in front, a little inexplicable, "My lord, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person?" When you look at people, you say, what kind of fragrance? Why didn't I smell it? ”

"Really, Wendu. I kid you not. I can't even see the face of other girls, why do I fall in love with other people? I also think it's incredible, it's because I can smell it, and you can't smell me, so I think it's even more amazing. Ye Xun said with a sincere face.

Wen Du was skeptical, "Is there really such a magical thing?" Why don't we take two quick steps and see what that girl looks like? ”

"Not really, right?" Ye Xun was a little embarrassed.

"You're okay with them?" As he spoke, Wen Du pulled Ye Xun's shirt and quickened his pace, overtaking the girl, and then they deliberately pretended to have something to stop and watched the girl pass in front of them. Ye Xun's heartbeat intensified, his whole body trembled, he saw that girl smiling like a flower and talking and laughing with the maid around her, it was so beautiful, it seemed that her body exuded a warm aura. The person walked away, and Ye Xun was still there in a daze......

Wen Du muttered alone, "It's pretty good, but it's not so beautiful that it's shocking." Dressed in style, she looks like a lady from a big family. He glanced at Ye Xun, who was distracted, "Is it that exaggerated?" ”

"I think my marriage has arrived." The corners of Ye Xun's mouth turned up and smiled.

"Huh? Your marriage? That's a bit sloppy, right? Seeing Ye Xun turn around and leave, Wen Du hurriedly chased after him, "What?" Don't follow her anymore? ”

"Is it appropriate for us two big men to follow other girls?" A smile flashed in Ye Xun's eyes and said, "I believe that we will meet again if we have fate." ”

"Did you know it wasn't suitable?" Wendu followed Ye Xun for a while, looked up at a tea house in front of him and said, "My lord, I'm thirsty, let's go to the tea house to drink some tea and rest, right?" ”

Ye Xun looked at the magnificent face of the tea house and hesitated, "It must not be cheap to drink tea here." Can you hold on for a while? Let's go home and drink any further. ”

Wendu is very helpless, his master is really picking the door and getting home, how much money can he have for tea? He squinted at Ye Xun and said generously, "I please!" ”

As soon as he heard that Wendu was treated, Ye Xun went in very happily.

The second child in the teahouse greeted them very warmly, and the two of them found a seat by the window and sat down. Wendu asked Xiao Er, "What good tea do you have in your store, tell us about it." ”

Xiao Er said with a smile on his face, "I heard that the accents of the two guest officers are distinguished guests from other places. Although our store has all kinds of tea, but the two distinguished guests come to Hangzhou for the first time, of course, they should first taste our local West Lake Longjing? ”

"Then come to a pot of dragon wells and pick a good one!" Wendu said very simply.

"Okay, guest wait. A pot of good dragon well~~" Xiao Er said in a long voice.

Ye Xun looked at Wen Du with some admiration and said with a smile, "Uncle, make a generous move!" What a hero! ”

"Aren't you ashamed that adults have to be invited to eat tea?" Wendu looked at him and asked.

"Why be ashamed? Did I say I was thirsty and wanted to come in for tea? Did I force you to invite it? Did I order such a good tea? I'm rude, drinking white water and good tea are the same taste, not as particular as you. Besides, you are alone, and the whole family will not go hungry. It's not like me, I have to raise a large family. Ye Xun said with a smile.

At this time, Xiao Erduan tea came up, "The two guest officers use it slowly." ”

Wen Du poured Ye Xun a cup first, "My lord, please drink tea." Anyway, Xiaohu returned to the capital, and no one cooked for us. There are only the two of us in the huge courtyard, so why don't we solve today's meal outside? ”

Ye Xun was startled and shook his head again and again, "No! You invited me to tea, and you want me to invite me to dinner? Don't even think about it! I don't have any money! Let's go back and steam some rice and eat it. As soon as the two big men made do, they passed. ”

"Can you steam rice?" Wendu asked.

Ye Xun shook his head, "No." Neither will you? ”

Wendu nodded vigorously.

Ye Xun thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's buy a few steamed buns and go back to eat." ”

Wen Du smiled helplessly, "My lord, you are also an official of the imperial court, why are you so embarrassed?" ”

Ye Xun sighed lightly, "Wendu, don't you know that firewood and rice are expensive?" Can you appreciate what it's like for a penny to be a hero? I'm so scared. I'll never forget when my father starved with me. I vowed that even if I didn't eat or drink, I would let my father eat and drink well and live out his old age in peace. ”

Wen Du nodded, "My lord is a good son!" He suddenly thought of the scene on the road just now and asked, "It is reasonable to say that children at this age should have children, why haven't they married so far?" Wen Du felt that Ye Xun's strange behavior just now might be because he had been single for too long.

Ye Xun blinked, not understanding why Wen Du suddenly asked this, so he replied truthfully, "Doesn't all major marriage matters have to be ordered by the parents to match the words of the concubine?" No one in my family gave me Zhang Luo in this situation. Also, I don't know if you've heard of it in the capital? Anyway, it has been spread all over the world, that is, the emperor wants to give me a marriage. ”

"Nope. I've only been in Beijing for a year or two, and I don't go out much. I don't know which official lady the emperor gave you a marriage to? ”

Ye Xun's face was embarrassed, "They all say that it is the emperor's favorite princess Jinglin." ”

"Huh? Adults will be the master of the horse in the future? This marriage can be a good match! It's incredible! Wendu was surprised and delighted.

"What is the golden and jade relationship? The emperor mentioned it to me, but then he didn't believe it. They all said that they were reluctant to let Princess Jinglin and wanted to stay by his side for a few more years. It's like the real thing, there is no matchmaker in the capital to propose marriage to me, and my son has been delayed. ”

Wen Du lowered his head and smiled, "My lord is the emperor's candidate for the concubine, who dares to propose to you." Just wait. ”

"But the question is...... I don't want to, and I can't marry a princess! ”

Wendu was surprised, "Why?" Is this a blessing that no one else can ask for? ”

"To tell you the truth, I'm not a rare colt. I am just an ordinary person, and I want to spend my life with my future wife like most people. She knows cold and hot for me, and I will love her well and love her. But marrying a princess is different......" Ye Xun shook his head, looking frightened.

"Haha... What's the difference? I think the biggest difference is that after marrying a princess, you don't have to endure hardship, and you can live a carefree, fragrant and spicy life from now on. Wendu quipped.

"Then I can't eat soft rice? I, Ye Xunzheng, don't rely on women! There is a princess in the family who has to provide for her every day, and the rules are too big, is it still like a family? Enough of our family's ancestors. I can't let myself never turn over, can I? Besides, Jinglin has been following my ass since she was a child, and I have always treated him as a sister. How could the two of us? I don't agree anyway! I'm looking for a ...... There are feelings. As he spoke, the corners of Ye Xun's mouth curved, and a smile appeared.

"Feeling? That girl just now? Do you know people? Maybe she's already married. ”

"So, after that, it will depend on our fate."

"Also, if you really have no intention of marrying a princess, you have to tell the emperor as soon as possible! Don't disrupt the emperor's plan and cause trouble to yourself. ”

"The emperor didn't say anything about this at all. How do I go about it? Can I go directly to the emperor and say that I don't want to marry a princess? The emperor can't be mad, marry a princess? Do you deserve it too? Don't be amorous and daydream! Go home and look in the mirror! Besides, since ancient times, princesses have not worried about getting married. Jinglin is a princess and is deeply favored by the emperor, how can she not find a suitable husband? ”

"Your Excellency, you have a point, but I think you'd better find an opportunity to hint at the Emperor. After all, the power of heaven is unpredictable! ”

Ye Xun nodded, and then asked Wen Du, "You are not too young, have you decided on a family matter?" ”

"Two years ago, my family found me a girl who said that she was the right person, and urged me to go back and do my family affairs all day long. Just like the adults said, I don't want to bet on the happiness of my life, how can I grow old without even seeing each other? I gave it a push. I don't care about my family or background, I just want to find one I like. Wen Du pursed his lips and smiled a little shyly.

"Sweet? How easy is it to say? ”

"It's not easy. Then I won't chase other girls all over the street like an adult. ”

"Wendu! Are you going to make fun of me for a day? I...... It's not a disciple. Not only do you not believe it, but even I find it incredible. The fragrance was so clear and real that I had to believe that there was fate in the world. Alas, it's really amazing......" Ye Xun was saying, but found Wen Du looking up in a daze. "What are you looking at? Listen to me? ”

"I think my marriage is here too." Wendu muttered.

Ye Xun also looked in the direction that Wen Du was looking. I saw a beautiful woman in a white gauze skirt on the second floor opposite, looking out over the railing. The woman has long hair and a shawl, not powdered. Apricot eyes and cheeks, frowning slightly, as if there is indescribable hesitation and sentimentality, let me see pity. A gust of wind blew, ruffling her black hair and fluttering clothes, like a fairy descending to earth......

Ye Xun couldn't help but admire, "Wow, it's really beautiful!" ”

"Humanity, since ancient times, Jiangnan has been beautiful and beautiful, and it is indeed true. Presumably, only the place where this person is outstanding will give birth to such a beautiful woman, right? Wendu said with some excitement.

The woman seemed to sense that someone was looking at her, she lowered her head and smiled at Ye Xun and Wen Du and nodded, then turned around and retreated into the house. Ye Xun also nodded to her and returned the salute.

Wendu seemed to be a little unsatisfied, "How did you go?" ”

Ye Xun looked at the door opposite, "'Wangchun Pavilion'?" Wendu, it seems that your marriage has not yet arrived, and this woman should not be a good match. ”

Wen Du also saw the signboard, and couldn't help but have a trace of disappointment on his face, but he still said stiffly, "I said I don't care about my background." Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of strange women in this kind of Fengyue place. ”

Ye Xun sneered and said, "You scholars are hypocrisy. I don't believe that you dare to risk the world's condemnation to marry her home? There are those romantic talents who deceive people's feelings, but how many do you really marry home? Who wants to give up their future for a Qinglou woman and be expelled from the family tree? ”

Wen Du lost the arrogance just now, and said wiltedly, "Have you drunk well?" Let's go back when we're done, shall we? Tomorrow you will be summoned by some of your immediate superiors, envoys, envoys, and governors. Let's go back and take a good look at the data of each county, so that we can respond tomorrow. ”

"I don't think the data is a good idea, and I don't know where the data comes from or how true it is. I have time to go down and inquire in person. ”

"That will be for later. If you don't look at it at all, you can't just ask three questions tomorrow. You want to make a good impression on your boss when you first take on the job. ”

"Okay. Let's go to the front merchant and ask them about their business before going back. ”

"Let's go, then." Wendu stood up and wanted to go outside.

Ye Xun looked at the pot of Longjing and hesitated a little, "This tea is really delicious." I think we can brew it a few more times, or we ......."

Wen Du was so embarrassed that he hurriedly pulled his arm and walked out, "Don't be embarrassed here!" Let's go! You've lost all my face! I've never heard of tea being packaged since ancient times! Before leaving, Wen Du looked back again, the words "Wangchun Pavilion" ......
