Shen Bai was politely invited out of the mansion by Ye Mingshan.

Although he didn't lose his temper with Shen Bai, he was also quite dissatisfied with Shen Bai.

He is much older than Shen Bai, and he has been a parent official in Yuanfeng County for so many years, he knows much more than Shen Bai how many problems exist in Yuanfeng County, and if he can change it, he will already find a way to change it.

Now Shen Bai jumped out at a young age and told him to change, he only felt that it was a fantasy, especially since Shen Bai was still a woman from Nanxiang.

She doesn't know anything, so who is qualified to point fingers here?

Ye Mingshan's reaction was expected by Shen Bai, Shen Bai was not angry, came out of the mansion, and walked home slowly with Xiao Qixiaoba.

The reason why Ye Mingshan couldn't change the status quo of Yuanfeng County was because he was only a small county guard, and in the early years, the first emperor was restrained by those big families in Hanjing, so he didn't have the energy to manage this place at all, and Yuexi was often harassed, so it was not easy to survive.

But Shen Bai is different from him, Shen Bai is behind Gu Hengzhou, who is the Guogong Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even the Ninety-Five Emperor above 10,000 people.

As long as she wants to do something and is willing to work hard, she can do it nine times out of ten.

Shen Bai is confident, she is not afraid of offending people, but offending people is not a good way to do things, and attracting talents is.

Prejudice has been rooted in the blood and bones of these people, and she can't reverse it with just a few words and a day or two, and Shen Bai will not confront them head-on.

When he returned home, Shen Bai wrote a letter and asked him to send it to Mozhou.

When she came to Yuanfeng County, she rested in Mozhou for a day, and listened to the people in the city talk that Xuanyin's business is now very big, and she is already one of the richest businessmen in Mozhou.

Yuanfeng County is the closest to Mozhou, and Shen Bai wants to ask Xuanyin if there is any development model suitable for Mozhou, and learn from him.

After the letter was sent, Shen Baicheng had nothing to do and walked around the city and outside the city.

After a few days, Shen Bai found an interesting phenomenon, most of the land in Yuanfeng County was in a panic, and even if it was planted, it was only planted with a few seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Although the climate at the border is dry and rainless, it is not impossible to grow grain, and this mode of cultivation is a waste of land.

When Gu Hengzhou was resting, Shen Bai also told him about the situation, Gu Hengzhou knew the situation better than her, this was a rule left decades ago.

Decades ago, Yuanfeng County was lost once, and that time during the autumn harvest, the Yuexi people captured Yuanfeng County, slaughtered the soldiers and people in the city, watered the land with their flesh and blood, and harvested the grain they had worked so hard to plant.

Relying on those grains, the soldiers and horses of Yuexi almost crossed the Beiheng Mountain and pointed directly at Hanjing

Later, when Yuanfeng County was recaptured, the people here no longer grew food, but only seasonal fruits and vegetables, so that even if the enemy army attacked, they would only be left with an empty city.

This rule has been followed to this day, and most of the food needs of the people in the city are fixed according to the population of each household, and if it is not enough, it is bought at a price much lower than the market price.

These people can be regarded as guarding the border pass here with the Zhenbei Army, and the imperial court should give them some preferential treatment.

But these people don't need to work, and over time, there will always be problems.

Shen Bai remembered that Yuanfeng County was invaded by Yuexi before, and she and Ye Mingshan organized the people in the city to move to Mozhou, and many of them were reluctant to leave, thinking that there was also this part of the hidden story.

Although Yuanfeng County is not as prosperous as Mozhou, as long as you stay here, you basically don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and once you go to Mozhou, you have to rely on your own hands to work.

At the beginning, such a decision was made because of the need to fight a war, as well as various factors, and now that Zhaoling's national strength has been improved little by little, the people of Yuexi will not dare to launch a big war in a short time, and these people will definitely not be able to do anything like this.

However, if you want to spur those who are accustomed to idleness to move, the resistance will be greater, and if you are not careful, you may cause public anger.

This is the worst-case scenario.

Shen Bai didn't want this to happen, so he had to be more cautious no matter what he did.

In the next few days, Shen Bai still walked around the city as usual, in the summer, the weather slowly got hotter, people became tired, the sun was so poisonous that people did not dare to go out, Shen Bai stayed at home for two days, and unexpectedly heard Xiao Qi say that someone was visiting, and hurriedly cleaned up and went to the front hall, and saw a man wearing a colorful koi robe embroidered in crow blue sitting in the house.

The man is long, and his temperament is dull and quiet, and at first glance he is a master of the world who is not stained by the world.

Shen Bai strode over and said with a smile: "It's good to reply to the letter, why do you still run in person?" ”

Xuanyin laughed, got up and saluted respectfully, and said, "The grass people meet Madame." ”

"Don't fix those empty things, sit down quickly." Shen Bai waved his hand nonchalantly, Xuanyin sat down, and then said with the question she had just asked: "I should have come over as soon as I received the letter, and I took some time to deal with the matter at hand." ”

"If you have any good ideas, just give some advice behind your back, you have so many businesses under your name now, and you have to leave in a hurry when you come here, and you are too tired." Shen Bai still didn't think it was cost-effective, Xuanyin said: "I didn't do those businesses alone, it's just a false name, and there won't be any problems without me." ”

Xuanyin is very confident.

He is not the same as the last time Shen Bai saw him, not only does he lose that wind and dust, but he also has the confidence and determination to strategize, although he is only in business, he is no worse than those who are in high positions.

He said this, and Shen Bai was no longer polite, and said truthfully: "The thing I want to ask you to help is a very difficult hard bone to gnaw, if you can really spare time, can you stay here for more time?" ”

Xuanyin said: "I read the letter you wrote, and what you have to do will take at least three years and five years, and at most decades. ”

Gu Hengzhou has to stay here all the time, of course Shen Bai can spare decades to do this, Shen Bai has already prepared in his heart, and said to Xuanyin: "Don't worry, I will keep you for a month at most, as long as you help me sort out some ideas, I will write to you if there is anything in the future." ”

Xuanyin didn't rush to answer, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said, "The grass people have already asked people to inquire about the house and prepare to buy one, and the lady may have to suffer, so I will see the grass people a few more times in the future." ”

Shen Bai was shocked and asked Xuanyin in surprise: "What are you doing here to buy a house?" ”

Xuanyin put down the teacup, lifted his eyes, looked at Shen Bai with bright eyes, and said: "What Mrs. wants to do, benefit the country and the people, can be passed on for generations, the grass people were originally just a bunch of mayflies between heaven and earth, and now they also want to be brave and rub the name of Mrs. to make their name engraved in the history books." ”

If it weren't for Shen Bai back then, he would just be an unknown little man in Mozhou City, except for forcing himself to laugh and play with people all day long, and he would not be comfortable and comfortable now.

Now that Shen Bai needs him, he naturally has to spare no effort to help her.

Shen Bai was stunned by Xuanyin's decisiveness, and it took a long time to find his voice back, and he asked sneeringly: "So what you just said about dealing with the matter at hand is to push all the business in Mozhou?" ”

Knowing what Shen Bai was worried about, Xuanyin said with a smile: "It's not all pushed, it's just that I found a trustworthy and reliable person to watch, and I just get a little less dividends every month." ”

Shen Bai was relieved at this time, touched his chin and said: "There are trustworthy people here, you don't have any scruples, I have been walking around the city these days and found a lot of problems, anyway, your house has not been bought, so I will live here first, and I will talk to you about it." ”

Xuanyin didn't have an opinion, and followed his little servant to help carry the luggage into the guest room.

Xuanyin's luggage was not much, there were only three boxes, and two of them were gifts for Shen Bai.

It's not a valuable thing, it's all novel gadgets that have been produced in Mozhou City in the past two years, and there is a little preserved fruit.

Shen Bai looked at these two boxes of things and felt a little complicated, how could this person treat her as a child like Brother Gu?

Xuanyin lived in the Gu Mansion, Shen Bai rarely found someone to discuss, and poured out all the words that had been held back for several days, Xuanyin didn't talk much, and listened quietly most of the time, only helping her add a little tea when Shen Bai said she was thirsty.

The situation in Yuanfeng County is indeed not optimistic, Shen Bai only said part of it in his previous letter, and through the in-depth understanding of the past few days, he found out how difficult it is.

Xuanyin is not a god, and he can't know how to solve things after listening to Shen Bai's words, but he doesn't show discouragement or frustration.

At the beginning, he only had one hundred taels of silver given by Shen Bai in Mozhou, and now he is carrying ten times more silver taels than at the beginning, and the final result will certainly not be bad.

In the next few days, Shen Bai walked around the city and outside the city with Xuanyin every day, the so-called knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles, and they must also thoroughly understand Yuanfeng County before they can start drastic reforms.

However, before the two of them could make any moves, there were bad rumors in the city.

Shen Bai and Xuanyin were busy with business and didn't pay much attention to it, and Cui Niang rushed into the mansion again with great momentum.

At that time, Shen Bai and Xuanyin had just made a simple sand table and marked it on the sand table, Cui Niang rushed in, and when she saw that the two of them were close to each other, she immediately shouted angrily: "You guys keep me away!" ”

Shen Bai and Xuanyin stopped their movements at the same time, Cui Niang rushed to the two of them, glared at Shen Bai and grabbed Xuanyin, eager to cut off a piece of meat from him.

The rumors in the city are very unbearable, Cui Niang thought that Xuanyin would be a big difference to Gu Hengzhou, but she didn't expect him to be handsome, and his temperament around him was also quite remarkable.

My good dear, how did this man grow up and be so good-looking?

Shen Bai put down the things in his hand and introduced to Xuanyin: "This is Cui Niang, the wife of Li Yunjue, the former left deputy general of the Zhenbei Army, and I call her aunt with my husband on weekdays." ”

Xuanyin understood, bowed to Cui Niang, and said politely: "I've met Mrs. Li, I'm Xuanyin, Mrs. can call me by name directly." ”

Cui Niang lived a rough life, and she had never been called Mrs. by a few people in her life, she was a little at a loss all of a sudden, looked at Shen Bai and then at Xuanyin, and held back a sentence for a while: "What the hell are you doing?" ”

What they were going to do couldn't be said clearly, Shen Bai avoided answering, and asked Cui Niang instead: "Auntie came in such a hurry, but what bad rumors did you hear in the city?" ”

Hearing Shen Bai ask, Cui Niang immediately glanced at her: Do you know that you still ask?

Of course Shen Bai knows, she goes in and out with Xuanyin all day long, so many pairs of eyes in the city are watching, and there are ghosts behind no one's back.

But she is not the kind of person who will stay in the back house and teach her husband and children, and she will do more and more outrageous things in the future, so she didn't plan to hide it from the beginning.

After the last time, Cui Niang also knew a little about Shen Bai, and couldn't help but persuade her: "I know you don't care what those people say behind their backs, but there is a saying that is terrifying, you pay more or less attention, you don't care yourself, and you are not afraid that Xingyuan will feel uncomfortable when you hear it?" ”

Shen Bai looked calm, and said lightly: "I'm not afraid of shadows, if I change my style of doing things because of other people's words, wouldn't I be able to confirm other people's words?" ”

That's not to be completely unscrupulous.

Cui Niang also wanted to continue to persuade, Shen Bai preemptively said: "I am a fair and honest person, and my husband also understands me, Cui Niang rest assured, how can those people chew the root of my tongue behind my back now, and I will let them kneel in front of me and apologize to me in the future!" ”

Shen Bai's tone was firm and quite imposing, Cui Niang naturally believed her, and nodded again and again: "I know you have an idea, those who chew the root of their tongue behind their backs will have their tongues pulled out when they die in the future." ”

Shen Bai stayed and Cuiniang had lunch together, and during the banquet, she heard that Xuanyin's business in Mozhou was very big, and she couldn't help but change her opinion of him, she originally thought that Xuanyin was white and pure, and she was a person who ate soft rice.

After eating, Cui Niang went home.

Shen Bai was a little sorry for Xuanyin, and just as he was about to speak, Xuanyin smiled and said, "When Madam asks those people to kneel down and apologize in the future, don't forget to call me along, I really want to see that scene." ”

Shen Bai swallowed the apology on his lips and said with a smile: "That's natural." ”

Xuanyin lived in Gu's mansion for seven days, Gu Hengzhou went home after resting, and now the days are long, and the sky is still bright when he arrives home.

This fish was sent by Cui Niang, smeared with salt and exposed to the sun, exuding a very fragrant smell, Shen Bai smelled and swallowed saliva.

Gu Hengzhou was a little tanned, and he hugged Shen Bai without coming back as before, and said from a distance of two or three steps: "I'm sweaty, I'll take a shower first and then come over." ”

Shen Bai nodded, but still went back to the main house with him, regardless of his refusal, squeezed into the ear room to help him pinch his shoulder.

Gu Hengzhou was quite resistant at first, but later he was pressed comfortably by Shen Bai, so he went with her.

Shen Bai muttered to him about Xuanyin's coming to Yuanfeng County, Gu Hengzhou was also a little surprised, but he quickly accepted it, with Xuanyin's help to watch the point, things would always go smoothly.

Taking advantage of the bathing time, Shen Bai told Gu Hengzhou about the results of the discussion with Xuanyin in the past few days, and when he came out after changing his clothes, Xiao Ba also sent the mung bean soup boiled in the kitchen.

The mung bean soup is iced with well water, and it is very comfortable to drink.

Shen Bai drank a bowl with Gu Hengzhou, and then mentioned the recent rumors in the city to Gu Hengzhou.

Gu Hengzhou's expression was faint, and he didn't react, Shen Bai secretly looked at him and asked, "Husband, aren't you angry when others talk about me behind my back?" ”

"You're not angry?" Gu Hengzhou asked rhetorically, and Shen Bai said, "I'm a little angry, but at that time in Hanjing, there were more people talking about me, and the scolding was more ugly, and I seem to be a little immune now." "Worry-free Chinese network

After listening to this, Gu Hengzhou hesitated for a while, raised his hand and rubbed Shen Bai's head, and said, "There's nothing to be angry about, they don't understand, don't be like them." ”

These words directly comforted Shen Bai.

Shen Bai drank the last mouthful of porridge and asked Gu Hengzhou: "I am kind to Xuanyin, he left his business in Mozhou to settle in Yuanfeng County for me, husband, aren't you worried?" ”

"Worried about what?" Gu Hengzhou asked, Shen Bai's eyes bent, and he smiled like a fox: "I'm worried that I will get along with him in the past, and I will take him into the mansion if I am soft-hearted." ”

Gu Hengzhou had already finished drinking, and when he heard Shen Bai say this, his eyes narrowed, and he said meaningfully: "It seems that you feel that you are very energetic." ”

Shen Bai smacked his lips and said with a smile: "I've had a good rest recently, and it's really quite vigorous." ”

Shen Bai took the initiative to tease, Gu Hengzhou was naturally not polite, and he caught someone and bullied him fiercely.

Tomorrow I have to stay at home for a day, Gu Hengzhou didn't squeeze Shen Bai dry in one breath, leaving a little leeway, Rao is like this, as soon as it was over, Shen Bai still fell asleep.

Gu Hengzhou worked hard as usual to help Shen Bai clean up, the next day Shen Bai didn't get up from sleep, Gu Hengzhou got up early to practice in the yard, Shen Bai asked people to make two wooden stakes in the corner, which was quite easy to use.

Xuanyin also got up early, Gu Hengzhou came back after dinner last night, he wanted to say hello, but when he was about to arrive at the main courtyard, he was stopped by Xiaoba, the little girl blushed and said that the commander and his wife were busy, and he didn't need to go over for the time being, he knew what it meant, but when he saw the red mark on Gu Hengzhou's neck today, Xuanyin couldn't help but want to laugh a little.

Commander Gu, who usually looks cold and indifferent, is not as calm as he appears when facing this kind of thing, and he will also use this way to euphemistically declare his sovereignty.

Xuanyin saw through it and didn't say anything, and when Gu Hengzhou finished practicing, he stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "The grass people have seen Commander Gu." ”

Gu Hengzhou sweated, drank two large cups of tea before he recovered, and walked to the stone table on the side with Xuanyin and sat down.

Shen Bai explained the progress of the two of them in detail yesterday, and Gu Hengzhou asked in a deep voice: "I heard that you only brought two small servants to Yuanfeng County, do you want to send two people to you?" ”

Xuanyin shook his head and said, "The two people brought by the grass people are all practitioners, and they have also practiced some moves with the martial arts master in the past few years, and they can deal with the general situation." ”

Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and said, "If you want to stay here for a long time, no one can say what kind of situation you will encounter, I will send some people to protect it secretly, and it will not affect your work." ”

Xuanyin was a little surprised by Gu Hengzhou's insistence, and wanted to say something, Gu Hengzhou preemptively said: "She will often go out with you to ensure your safety, and also to ensure her safety." ”

In other words, it was not him who Gu Hengzhou sent to protect him, but he was afraid that he would implicate Shen Bai in any danger.

Xuanyin understood, no longer shirked, nodded and said, "Commander Xie." ”

Gu Hengzhou continued: "The problem of Yuanfeng County is left over from the ancestors, you can't be in a hurry, many times it is inconvenient for me to come forward directly, if there is any emergency, you can send someone to find me directly in the camp, as long as you report your name, no one will dare to stop you." ”

"The grass people understand."

"And." Gu Hengzhou hesitated, "She is a woman after all, there are always a few days a month when she is unwell, if she is uncomfortable, let someone boil her some brown sugar ginger tea, don't let her hold on." ”

"Yes."

"And ......"

Xuan Yin couldn't help laughing, Gu Hengzhou frowned and stopped, Xuan Yin tried to stop laughing, and said: "Once something is wrong, the grass people will send Mrs. to the camp, and they will definitely not let people bully Mrs., is this okay?" ”

Xuanyin's words were playful, but Gu Hengzhou didn't joke with him at all, nodded seriously after thinking for a moment, and said, "Okay." ”

He had risked losing her too many times, and if it weren't for the fear that she would be too boring to be alone, he would have wanted to tie her up to him and never leave.

Xuanyin was stunned, and after a while, he suddenly understood how much Gu Hengzhou liked Shen Bai, and made a serious promise: "Don't worry, the Great Commander, no matter what time it is, the grass people will protect Madame." ”

remembered that Xuanyin was still in the house, and Shen Bai got up before he slept too late.

After hurriedly washing up, he was about to go outside, but when he saw Gu Hengzhou coming in from outside, Shen Bai asked keenly: "Have you already seen Xuanyin?" ”

Gu Hengzhou nodded and said, "He has the house in the picture, and he went to negotiate the deed." ”

There is no other person in the house, and it is more convenient for Xuanyin to live here, so Shen Bai has not urged him to find a house in the past few days, and as soon as Gu Hengzhou came back from vacation, he decided to buy a house, Shen Bai looked at Gu Hengzhou suspiciously.

Gu Hengzhou's face did not change, he walked into the house and began to take off his clothes, he was sweating all over during the exercise, and his clothes were wet.

Shen Bai knew that he was unlikely to drive Xuanyin away, and whispered: "Even if this house is bought, it will have to be renovated before he can live in it, and he will live in our house for a few days, and when he has finished everything, husband, let's go and move to the New Jubilee with him together." ”

"Okay." Gu Hengzhou responded, paused in the action of undressing, and looked back at Shen Bai, her eyes were shining, because of the arrival of Xuanyin, she was more energetic than before.

Gu Hengzhou kept looking at it without looking away, Shen Bai was a little uncomfortable, touched his face and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything on my face? ”

"Nope." Gu Hengzhou retracted his gaze and said after a while, "When the training of the cavalry regiment matures, I will be able to spend more time with you." ”

He has been in the army since he was a child, the lieutenant battalion and the Zhenbei army are the same for him, as long as there are soldiers to train, he feels that life is very fulfilling, but Shen Bai is alone after he arrives here.

Yuanfeng County is not as fun as Hanjing, and there are not so many interesting people, Xiao Qi Xiaoba is too young, and Cui Niang is not always on the same channel as her, so it is difficult to talk together, and it is good that the time is shorter.

After a long time, you will eventually feel lonely.

Shen Bai didn't expect Gu Hengzhou to suddenly say this, shook his head, and then pounced on him with a smile.

Gu Hengzhou's shirt had been taken off, and he was suddenly hugged by Shen Bai and was very uncomfortable, but he still instinctively held her buttocks and whispered, "It's all sweat, don't make trouble." ”

"It doesn't stink at all." Shen Bai said and took a bite on Gu Hengzhou's shoulder, and the wicked person sued first, "Who told you to recruit me first?" ”

With such a fuss, Shen Bai couldn't get out of the house in the morning, and even Xiao Qi entered the house for lunch, and Gu Hengzhou personally fed it to her.

The two of them had a lot of trouble these times, and there was no moderation, Gu Hengzhou felt that the influence was not good, so he went back to the camp in the afternoon.

In the evening, Xuanyin came back with the deed.

He also fancied a small courtyard with two entrances, the yard is not as generous as the one Shen Bai and they live in now, but it is not bad, there is also a crooked neck jujube tree in the yard, Xuanyin likes it very much, so he bought it directly.

This house is a bit old, there are many places leaking rain, and it needs to be renovated, so it will take a month to live in.

Shen Bai didn't mean to urge Xuanyin to leave at all, he welcomed him to stay, and specially sent a nursing home to help him run errands and supervise the work.

Because of that jujube tree, Xuanyin thought of an idea.

Yuanfeng County has not grown food for many years, but it can grow other things.

If these lands are not utilized, they will not only be wasted, but will also be degraded, and there is a desert belt between Yuexi and Yuanfeng County, and Xuanyin has heard many people say that the area of this desert has expanded.

If the desert continues to expand, Yuanfeng County will not only be plagued by war, but also by storms, and there will be endless troubles in the future.

Xuanyin wants to plant some jujube trees.

Yuanfeng County and Mozhou are only separated by a mountain, but the climate of the two cities is very different, Yuanfeng County has a drier climate and more intense sunshine, and the dates produced here should be sweeter than in other places.

Fresh dates can be sold in the city, and those that cannot be sold can be dried into dried dates and shipped to other places to sell, and they can be stored for a long time.

Shen Bai was very supportive of this suggestion, she wanted Yuanfeng County to have its own characteristics.

Huainan is rich, it is the land of fish and rice, the good yield is very high, although the West Shu is cool, but there is Shu brocade as the façade, the east is smokeless silver charcoal, each place has its own pillar.

Far Peak County can't just think of war.

Both of them are very cheerful, Shen Bai immediately sent someone to Mozhou to buy jujube tree saplings, in addition to jujube trees, some fruit tree saplings that may be suitable for the climate here Shen Bai let people buy some.

Shen Bai paid for the saplings, and Xuanyin paid for some vacant land, and then hired people to be tree farmers.

However, the growth cycle of fruit trees is very long, and it is not effective in three or five years, Xuanyin and Shen Bai discussed for two days, and asked people to buy some sorghum seeds.

The particularity of Yuanfeng County makes the people here dare not grow too much food, they can only think of planting something that is not easy to preserve, so that even if there is a real invasion of foreign enemies one day, it will not become their reserve materials.

Moreover, sorghum can be used to make wine, and it can be used in wartime.

Therefore, Shen Bai and Xuanyin also want to set up a winery and train some skilled winemakers.

The two of them made a lot of noise in the city, and the people in the city all held the mentality of watching the excitement, and they got together every day to discuss in private, and they all felt that Shen Bai was sick in the brain, and it was not appropriate to take the wife of the commander well, so he had to toss blindly.

At first, Cui Niang wanted to persuade Shen Bai, but later she went with Shen Bai.

In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

This year, the wind and rain are smooth, the survival rate of jujube saplings is quite high, and the harvest of sorghum in the first year is also good.

Most of the sorghum was transported to Mozhou and sold, Shen Bai left a car, brewed more than ten jars of wine with the cook, and personally sent it to the camp for Gu Hengzhou to try on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Shen Bai rarely went to the camp, but this time he went with wine, and the soldiers in the camp made a fuss.

Gu Hengzhou kept a jar for himself, and the rest was divided among several deputy generals, and the other soldiers who didn't drink were quite greedy, and Shen Bai promised to let them all drink in the future.

A group of people dispersed after a while, Shen Bai accompanied Gu Hengzhou to eat in the tent, and told him the results of the past half a year: "Brother Gu, I spent hundreds of silver this year, but I didn't see it at all, you have worked hard to guard the border for almost a year, and I have lost everything." ”

"It's a good wine." Gu Hengzhou praised it, as if he hadn't heard Shen Bai's words, "According to the usual practice, His Majesty will give a reward at the end of the year, and someone will send it if I don't return to Beijing, so you don't have to worry about money." ”

Of course, Shen Bai was just talking and playing, and when he heard Gu Hengzhou say the reward, his eyes lit up, and he asked curiously: "If someone is coming from Beijing, who do you usually send, do I know it?" ”

Gu Hengzhou said lightly: "I don't know." "The expression is very bland.

Shen Bai's expectations for this matter weakened a lot, and half a month later, after the reward from the imperial court, Shen Bai packed up early and went out to receive the reward, and when he saw Zhou Jue's weather-beaten face, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Why are you?!" ”

Zhou Jue raised his eyebrows, deliberately put up a shelf, and said coldly: "Be polite to Lord Qincha, be careful that the official goes back to accuse you of disrespect!" ”

What do you have to respect?

Shen Bai rolled his eyes, but still pretended to accept the order and thank him, and welcomed Zhou Jue into the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Bai couldn't wait to hammer Zhou Jue's shoulder, the corners of his mouth rose wildly, and asked, "Why don't you bring a letter before you come?" ”

"It's not a child, no one dares to rob this thing halfway, what kind of letter do you have." Zhou Jueyun said lightly, walked around the house, and said, "I'm going to stay here until the New Year, and then go back, clean up my room." ”

"Staying for so long?" Shen Bai was surprised and stared at Zhou Jue.

Zhou Jue has changed a lot from before, he has tanned a lot, calmed down a lot, and has a crooked scar on his forehead, he has been busy walking for the past few days, and there is blue and black stubble on his chin.

Zhou Jue was not very comfortable with Shen Bai, and said with a straight face: "What do you see, this is a holy decree!" ”

Shen Bai nodded, took Zhou Jue to the guest room that had been cleaned up a long time ago, and while he was bathing, he secretly found the Praetorian Guards who came with him to inquire about the situation.

Since Jiang Qinse was beheaded, Zhou Jue has become a joke in Beijing, but he is capable, and Zhao Che also relies on him, and no one dares to say anything in front of him.

He is now promoted to the commander of the hussars in Hanjing, his official position is quite high, and many people have come to the door to talk to the media, but he has not agreed, and he has not married another person so far, not only that, but if a woman dares to get closer to him on weekdays, he can't wait to kill someone with his eyes.

In the previous life, he wriddled in the pile of women all day long, and in this life, he avoided women like a flood of beasts, and the difference was too great.

Shen Bai was a little embarrassed, and wanted to inquire about other things, but these people didn't know what to ask.

Shen Bai's gossip heart that was finally ignited was snuffed out in the cradle, Gu Hengzhou came back from the camp in the evening, and the three of them sat at a table to eat after a long absence, Shen Bai relied on Gu Hengzhou's large amount of wine, and persuaded Zhou Jue to drink one by one, seeing that this person was five or six points drunk, Shen Bai began to ask: "Commander Zhou, more than two years have passed, you really don't plan to marry again?" ”
