Chapter 440: Summer Moon
Although I know that Chaoyangmen is tight, it is not that even the mountain gate will not be repaired completely.
But when he saw two men covered in patches from their extraordinary posture and with the unique neatness of martial arts practitioners, they saluted Li Chenghuan, and his eyes were even more strange.
"I've seen the second prince, and the head of the house is invited."
Following the two disciples all the way, Su Qinghuan only saw dilapidated mountain roads and simple thatched houses, which did not look like a large sect of thousands of people at all.
The woman's gaze wandered, and she even saw a woman dressed in a coarse cloth and a short beat, and she was looking at herself curiously. Suddenly retracting his gaze, Su Qinghuan covered the cloak covering his face more tightly. But the woman was more curious, but because she was a guest, she didn't come forward to disturb.
And the place where the head of the house meets the guests is a little better, so I can see the bricks.
Looking at the still dilapidated house, Su Qinghuan was more or less puzzled. Then Chaoyangmen will not toss another mountain in a few days, so it seems that it is indeed too poor here. It stands to reason that the imperial court has given a lot of rewards, so why is no one tempted?
Li Chenghuan's heart was also full of doubts, and he looked at the head of the house who had a decent dress and bowed.
"I've seen Master Zhou."
"Meet the Second Prince."
Although the two of them are polite and polite, they keep looking at each other, as if they are afraid of being deceived by the other party. Seeing this, Su Qinghuan's doubts in his heart were even worse, and he found a corner to watch this scene.
And she hadn't been far away from the crowd yet, when the woman who had been very curious about her just now followed.
In fact, she is a woman, and she does not have the unique tactfulness and tenderness of Minzhou women, but she is five big and three thick, and at a glance, she looks more like a man.
"Are you someone from the second prince's side?" But unexpectedly, the woman's voice was quite nice.
Su Qinghuan raised his eyebrows, but shook his head neatly: "No." I am the younger sister of the second imperial concubine, and I came here this time, but it was entrusted by the senior sister. ”
Hearing this, the vigilance in the woman's eyes dispersed a lot, and she leaned on Su Qinghuan's side to introduce herself: "My name is Xia Yue, and I am a disciple of Chaoyangmen, but I have only been here for a few days. What kind of person do you think the second prince is? ”
I didn't expect a woman to ask this, Su Qinghuan paused and said, "A person who is loyal to love." ”
Listening to Su Qinghuan's words, Xia Yue chuckled, found that her voice was a little loud, and quietly glanced at the head of the house, and saw that no one noticed her, so she retracted her gaze, lowered her voice and said to Su Qinghuan: "Who asked you this, I mean, he is a man who speaks?" It is said that there are two mouths under the official word, and what the official says is the most unbelievable! ”
Hearing the indignation in the woman's tone, Su Qinghuan raised her eyebrows in surprise. What this Minzhou official did was quite thorough, how could this little girl find out?
"But the second prince is not an official, he is the prince, and he can even be said to be the prince who is most likely to integrate the throne. At least I think what he says is credible. ”
Listening to Su Qinghuan's words, Xia Yue showed a look of joy on her face, but she shook her head lonely: "No, you are the person next to the second imperial concubine, and they all know that the second prince and the second imperial concubine have a deep relationship, and I am afraid that you can't believe what you say." ”
Unexpectedly, this little girl was stunned to take herself out, Su Qinghuan shook her head helplessly, and her tone was cold: "She is just my senior sister, and now she is just entrusted by others to be loyal, so my words are naturally true." ”
Su Qinghuan's calm and indifferent appearance made Xia Yue's heart move, her eyes were full of joy, and she came to the woman's side like a little sparrow and asked questions.
"That means that what the court says can be fulfilled, and you don't have to worry about those public relations getting in the way? This is really good, Master will be very happy to know that we finally have a way to live in Chaoyangmen. ”
Hearing this, Su Qinghuan showed a hint of surprise. This Chaoyang Sect is the largest sect in Minzhou, how can it be like what Xia Yue said, there is no way to live.
Seeing the surprise in the woman's eyes, the smile on Xia Yue's face gradually faded, and she explained in a low voice: "Don't look, we are the largest sect, but we take in some children from poor families as apprentices. Our Chaoyang Gate is indeed big, but most of the land is reserved for crops, otherwise we won't even have food. ”
"You see, although I am not good-looking, but I am a good hand at growing crops, and you will definitely not be able to compare with me. But...... Those dog officials, even our own dealers, don't let go. ”
Originally, Xia Yue's fierce face was even more vicious, and she gritted her teeth and said to Su Qinghuan: "You don't know, they seem to be a good official, and they keep lowering taxes just to make the people feel better." But we are also a people! Every time taxes are lowered, they are made up from us, even if the Chaoyangmen family has a big business, more than ten years is enough to drag it down. ”
"I'll tell you the truth, if you come a little later, Chaoyangmen may really be gone."
Listening to Xia Yue's accusations word by word, Su Qinghuan's face was not very good-looking, but he just looked at the woman's hand, and his voice was even softer.
"But as far as I know, Minzhou is the place with the most people in the rivers and lakes, why are the people in the rivers and lakes here not living so well?"
Hearing Su Qinghuan's words, Xia Yue showed a wry smile.
"Who doesn't want to live better, but to live better, is to be the lackey of the dog officials. Whatever you do, you have to be controlled by them. Some people may not care, but we can't. We just want to eat with our ability, but the rest of the things are not daring to think about anymore, I don't dare to kill. ”
Patting Xia Yue's big hand full of calluses, Su Qinghuan comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, the second prince is not a man who breaks his word, since he said so, he will definitely do it." Besides, even if you can't do it, you guys can just surround them and force them to do it. ”
Listening to Su Qinghuan's words, Xia Yue completely believed that she was not someone from Li Chenghuan's side, and her tone became cheerful, but she couldn't help but step forward and pull her hat when she saw her cover herself tightly.
Xia Yue felt that she didn't have much strength, but Su Qinghuan clearly heard the sound of the fabric tearing. Xia Yue looked at the fabric in her hand with a confused expression, and then glanced at the cold eyes behind the mask, and immediately hid the fabric behind her, and apologized softly.
"I didn't mean to...... "You're really bad."
Seeing this, the eyes behind the mask showed a warm smile, like the sun in winter, which people couldn't help but touch.
"It's okay, it's just not good. I don't know if my sister has lost her mind, she has to buy this kind of thing, isn't the sheepskin easy to use? ”
"Even so, I feel warm in sheepskin! But it really doesn't look good to wear. ”
