Chapter 897: Taoyuan is in distress and escapes from Taoyuan
Joan stepped forward, and the people had fled in a hurry, "Oops, what a bunch of stupid pigs!" ”
Shen Qiao'an surrendered for the first time in his life, but he didn't expect that the group of people fled in a hurry, and Qiao An ran into Li Zhongxuan head-on when he went to the courtyard once.
Li Zhongxuan saw that Qiao An was still there, and said angrily: "Why don't you leave, I can escape by myself, but it will become a burden to take you with me." ”
Qiao An was angry, and he didn't know what to say for a while, the two escaped, the group of people behind was still chasing, behind was a wide road, there was a group of woodcutters on the side of the road, there was a woodcutter in this woodcutter who looked thoughtful, and the person obviously noticed that Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan were on the run.
Without saying a word, the man carried two bundles of firewood with a flat pole, and the first few woodcutters did the same, completely blocking a road.
"Brother Tai get out of the way, let's play a game of cat and mouse, my husband is a dead cat, I am a mouse." The man's eyes flashed, he smiled lightly, and got out of the way.
After Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan came out, the man blocked a group of family members.
"Oh, don't rush, my chai."
"Oh my feet! Don't you have long eyes when you walk? In the sound of boiling soup, Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan had already gone far, and there was a mountain road behind them, and the two of them ran non-stop, about a mile away, and it was expected that Jia Ding would not catch up, so Shen Qiaoan sat on a white stone and gasped.
Li Zhongxuan was also tired and sat next to Qiao An.
Shen Qiaoan looked at Tianbian Yue: "I can't imagine that the county magistrate is a villain, and he actually plots against you and me, fortunately, the wine is not poisonous, otherwise wouldn't you and I be finished at this moment?" ”
Li Zhongxuan also had palpitations, "The people who celebrate Gongzi." ”
"Not really!" Qiao An looked into the distance, and the group of people did not chase after them, but Li Zhongxuan's expression suddenly changed.
The original plan was to return the day after tomorrow, but because of this danger, Joan changed her plan, "We'll leave here tomorrow, it's too dangerous." ”
Li Zhongxuan thought so.
This night they slept in the wilderness, although it was May, but the night in the mountains was very cold, Qiao An let Li Zhongxuan huddle obediently in Li Zhongxuan's arms. At dawn, Li Zhongxuan suddenly said, "We can't go." ”
"Why?" Qiao An was surprised, she encountered the previous danger, and anyone wanted to slip away, but Li Zhongxuan had no intention of escaping.
Li Zhongxuan has his own confusion.
"Think about it before!" His eyes were still very chaotic just now, but at this moment, Xue Liang was like a star, and Octavia was like a fire, "The inn we stayed in before was also opened by Shen Qingnian, and every night when we go back, that person will remind us that someone is flying pigeons to pass on the book, and it is obvious that that person already knows my identity nine times out of ten." ”
In fact, Li Zhongxuan didn't need to speak, he simply stood there, and a clear-eyed person could feel the spirit of a king at a glance, which was different.
The average man doesn't have the ruthlessness of his actions.
Being combed by Li Zhongxuan like this, Qiao An also figured out something in a trance, and touched her eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean," she speculated: "Those people are most likely not from Qing Gongzi?" But if not, who are they? Why do you want to wear the clothes of the Qing Gongzi's family? ”
"You can make these black clothes to order from any tailor's shop, can't you?" Li Zhongxuan said: "Because the county commander of Taoyuan County is Shen Qingnian's snort to survive, so Shen Qingnian wants the person, he must do his best to help take it, which gives people a chance, yes or no?" ”
The reasoning ends here, and everything is self-explanatory.
"That's a group of people pretending to be Shen Qingnian."
"It's too early to say that, and let's not leave in a hurry and figure things out." The sky gradually brightened, Li Zhongxuan went to the river to draw water, Qiao An felt refreshed after cleaning his face, and secretly thought, in fact, it is not bad to be with Li Zhongxuan.
It is said that men are rough, but when Li Zhongxuan deboned the first fish and handed it to Qiao An, it completely subverted Qiao An's established view of men, at least Li Zhongxuan is a variable and an outlier, and he is extremely good to himself.
The two looked into the distance, the thatched eaves were low, and there were people in the distance, Qiao An said: "It's already dawn, and that group of people may not know that we have arrived here, if you want to understand the situation, it is better to go to the front and ask." ”
When the two arrived at the courtyard, they happened to meet the woodcutter who helped them last night, and the woodcutter also hated the county magistrate, "Last night, I saw the boy and the girl fleeing for their lives, and I knew that you had offended the pork chop skin, hey! ”
"Pork chop skin?" JoAnn was intrigued by the nickname.
The woodcutter said, "But what is it that is not pork chop skin?" Childe, the girl must have also seen how magnificent and remarkable his courtyard was, but what about the common people? The common people are still crying out for hunger and cold, and he likes public and private use the most, hey. ”
This person poured bitter water with one mouth, and it can be seen that the rest of the people will not complain less, Qiao An listened to it, but asked a lot of questions.
For example, how the pork chop skin usually fishes and fleshes the people, how to behave in a high-sounding manner, and why this group of woodcutters appeared over there, and so on.
This Ah Niu is a person who seems to be honest, but is actually a straightforward and fast-talking person, and while giving them food, he answered one by one.
Joan found that this person is very critical and extremely intelligent, very powerful, and can get to the point in almost every word.
Li Zhongxuan next to him seemed to be eating carelessly, but in fact, he was also thinking about the problem seriously, he was the Son of Heaven and the king of a country, how could he slip away at this moment?
The two of them made up their minds to take down the county master, Master Zhu! That Ah Niu said a lot of bad things about pork chop skin, and Qiao An, who listened directly, itched at the root of his teeth.
"You shouldn't live in this hut, you have the world in mind." Qiao An looked at the man, and Ah Niu just smiled faintly: "What's so good about the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, is it better than my coarse tea and light rice?" The case is hard every day, the upper part has to deal with the inspectors, the lower has to toss the people, and the middle has to balance the wife and aunt, which is really a pig-like life. ”
Hearing this, Qiao Anren couldn't help laughing, and Li Zhongxuan had already smiled generously.
"You're a man who understands!" Li Zhongxuan rarely praises anyone.
Before he became an emperor, he also felt that being an emperor must be arbitrary, the true son of the dragon! How many people would dream of it? How do you know that after really becoming an emperor, you need to get up every day after three watches, and you are busy with family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs every day.
Therefore, throughout the ages, emperors have been relatively short-lived.
Seeing Ah Niu sitting idly across from them, Qiao An said, "Have you got married?" You? ”
According to the general opinion, such a person with no ambitions is afraid that it will be more difficult to start a family, Qiao An said this, Ah Niu smiled, and his smile was a little tired.
"I see, you're so wonderful that the average girl doesn't look down on you." Joan Road.
"The world?" Ah Niu sneered and snorted: "It's a group of people who only see skin and don't see bones, how do they know that fame and fortune are like searching for things for me, and I don't care about it." ”
He patted the white moonlight on his sleeve, as if the moonlight was also dust, Joan saw that this person was so clean and arrogant, but it was very suitable for his spleen and stomach.
"Come on, come on, let's talk again."
But at this moment, Li Zhongxuan suddenly intervened between the two, "Stop, An'er, how are you eating?" ”
"Full of wine and food, sure enough, the coarse tea and light rice taste good." Qiao Ann has indeed not enjoyed coarse tea and light rice for a long time.
Big fish and meat every day, or occasionally eat mountain dishes and wild mushrooms, but it is also a different kind of enjoyment. Seeing Qiao An's faint smile, Li Zhongxuan nodded: "Let's go out for a walk." ”
Qiao An looked at the person in front of him again, the person held a brush and wrote on a piece of paper, and when he looked closer, it was actually the words "rare and confused".
"Rare! It's rare! Joan cocked her thumbs up.
After coming out of Ah Niu's house with Li Zhongxuan, Li Zhongxuan complained: "That Ah Niu has no ambitions, why are you chatting with him so hotly, you almost forgot about me." ”
Li Zhongxuan's voice was a little resentful, and Shen Qiaoan smiled: "What? Wronged? ”
Li Zhongxuan did not speak.
The two walked forward, it was dusk, the buckwheat was also blooming, and the wind blew out a refreshing fragrance, which was very good, and when walking with Li Zhongxuan, Qiao An could think about everything, but he could also think about nothing.
It is a kind of joy, a special gift of life.
"We want to change the status quo here, according to me, this Ah Niu is more suitable for being a county magistrate than that pork chop skin."
"He has read the books of sages and sages, and he has insight into the world, but he has not achieved fame, how can he be a county magistrate? Don't look at the county lord as just a sesame mung bean-like official, that is also a jinshi and the second can be an official. ”
Shen Qiaoan naturally understood, but argued with reason: "Just dried the dish we ate." ”
Qiao An's words were obviously halfway through, and he obviously wanted to speak and stopped, Li Zhongxuan couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to say, what is the dish we ate just now?" ”
"That dish doesn't look good, but it tastes good, and the dish we ate at the family banquet in the palace looks good, but how does it taste?"
Go without saying.
There will be family banquets in Zhongjing every New Year's holiday, although Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan put an end to extravagance and waste, but state banquets are inevitable.
The wide variety of dishes that appear at the state banquet may seem dazzling and exciting, but in fact they are just beautiful in color and luster, and there is nothing remarkable about it.
Li Zhongxuan thought about this, and seemed to understand something, and Qiao An originally hoped that Li Zhongxuan could draw inferences.
"These eight strands of text are just used against you, they hope to deceive your eyes, and then they can enter the phase, but you break your fingers and count, in the eleven years you have been the emperor, how many Jinshi and the first people have done great things?"
When Li Zhongxuan heard this, he thought for a moment, and a faint wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"According to you, this imperial examination system is not needed?" Every time I discuss with Shen Qiaoan, Qiaoan always has so many ingenious opinions.
This imperial examination system was left by the ancestors, and when the imperial court selected talents, it was all followed, and the so-called habits were not noticed.
As the master of selecting talents, Li Zhongxuan has not felt any problem at all for many years, but at this moment, when Qiao An said this, it seems that there are countless places and places on the nose.
Qiao An didn't dare to beat him to death with a stick: "It's not that there are problems, let me give you an example, how about you listen to your ears?" ”
She didn't notice that after getting along with him for a long time, the two became more and more harmonious and harmonious.
"I want to hear about it."
Li Zhongxuan's searching eyes fell on Qiao An's face, Shen Qiao'an saw that he was very cute, and he already felt that the poison of the imperial examination system on people was very serious, and said with a smile: "Mo Shaoqiong and Mo Shaoyan have read poetry and books?" ”
"The Wolf King and his brother never read."
"What about Du Bian and Feng Yu, are they also the martial champions of the test? What about General Cheng? Is it also a martial champion? After Shen Qiao'an's analysis, in the current imperial court, the people who really account for a certain proportion are "self-made".
