The endless drizzle in Yangzhou has been drenching non-stop, which also makes Ye Qing have time to play chess with Zhong Qing in the mansion, but for Ye Qing, he doesn't have the patience for this thing at all, but in half an hour, Ye Qing has already lost several games in a row, which makes Fang Fei next to him a little anxious for him, it is too stinky, it is simply a stinky chess basket.

Zhong Qing was still quiet and quiet, holding the teacup from time to time, or looking at the drizzle outside, occasionally watching Ye Qing and Fang Fei arguing, arguing about how to fall, but her heart was full of happiness.

She likes rainy days, and always feels that on rainy days, she holds a cup of hot tea in her hand, covers a blanket that is not thin or thick, or reads a book, or silently confronts the person she likes.

The green mountains are hidden in the water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn. On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach.

Zhong Qing ignored the quarrel and blushed, and then the scoundrel secretly took away a few of her white seeds, just suddenly muttered this poem by Du Mu to the window.

"Master......." Fang Fei's voice dragged on for a long time, reminding Ye Qing that he had gone too far, he had already stolen several pieces in a row, almost.

"How about putting it here?" Ye Qing raised his head and asked Fang Fei.

"I don't know." Fang Fei was speechless, watching the shameless behavior of their master putting down a black seed and picking two white seeds in a row, she simply turned her face away and stopped talking.

Zhong Qing was not in a hurry, with a smile on her beautiful face, she looked at the puffing Fang Fei and said: "If you are bored, go and see what Dou'er is doing, this drizzle has been going on for three days, if you like it, let Dou'er accompany you to see Sister Qingyan." ”

Fang Fei was a little moved, but after thinking about it, ...... if she left.

"You'd better hurry up, if you go, maybe I'll be able to kill her, and she'll lose her armor." Ye Qing also coaxed Fang Fei and said.

"That'...... Hmph, I'm gone, you're only going to lose even more. After finishing speaking, he saluted Zhong Qing, and then walked outside with an oil-paper umbrella.

When the courtyard outside remembered the voices of Fang Fei and broad beans, and the voice of Tao Qian's loss after being left behind, Zhong Qing smiled and stretched her waist, making her bumpy upper body look more and more attractive.

Looking at Ye Qing's somewhat burning gaze, a layer of blush instantly stained her pink face: "Look at ...... blindly." ”

"What is this called blind looking, this is a bright and upright looking." Ye Qing's eyes didn't move, still staring straight at Zhong Qing's chest.

"I want to go out for a walk." Zhong Qing ignored Ye Qing's uncomfortable gaze that made her feel hot and uncomfortable, and diverted the topic.

Xin Qiji didn't appear in the government office early in the morning of the second day, so after Xin Qiji left, Ye Qing didn't have anything to do in Yangzhou these days, and it was drizzling non-stop, so it could be regarded as a small long vacation for him, the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road.

Two oil-paper umbrellas let the two people walk side by side, in the rainy Yangzhou City, the waterway and the bridge are the most prosperous, otherwise Zhong Qing would not have read out the poems of Du Mu when looking at the drizzle just now.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, and along the way, you could occasionally see one or two pedestrians in a hurry, hurrying to avoid the rain.

But even so, even if Zhong Qing was still wearing a light dew, he still couldn't stop the pedestrians who were hurrying away, casting curious glances at the two of them.

The man's figure is tall, although he can't see the whole face, but the face that is faintly and occasionally exposed under the umbrella still makes the pedestrians who are in a hurry regard the man and the graceful woman next to him as a pair of talented and beautiful women.

"Although Yangzhou has withered, it is a poetic place after all, although it is still a little broken, but it is ......." Zhong Qing turned around, covering her entire cheek with a shallow dew, and looked at Ye Qing's equally hazy face under the smoke and rain, and suddenly said: "Now that you are the pacification envoy and prefect of Huainan East Road, you should also understand the people's livelihood." ”

"You don't just want to walk around casually." Ye Qing shook off the rain on his sleeve and looked up at the misty drizzle in front of him.

Zhong Qing nodded slightly, then turned his head to look around, pulled Ye Qing's sleeve again, and signaled to cross the street in front of him, turn into the alley, and walk in the direction of the west of the city.

Ye Qing, who was idle and bored, was naturally willing to accompany the beautiful woman to walk in the drizzle, but looking at Zhong Qing's appearance, it didn't look like she was wandering, as if she was hurrying through the alley with Ye Qing in the direction of the goal, and the river in front of her blocked the way for the two.

And Zhong Qing stood in front of the river bank where the rain rose, looked to both sides, and then walked towards the direction of the single-hole bridge with Ye Qing.

With Zhong Qing's several shouts of the boatman and the boatman, the dock docked under the single-hole bridge to take shelter from the rain did not move at all, although it could already be vaguely seen that there were figures in the small cabin shaking.

"Stop shouting, look at me." Someone pulled down Zhong Qing's sleeve, and then held an umbrella and searched for it on the rain-soaked ground.

"Did you lose something?" Zhong Qing turned her back to the dock under the bridge, opened it slightly, and asked.

"No, I'm looking for something." Then Ye Zhifu on Huainan East Road found a big fist lump from the corner of the street, and before Zhong Qing could react, the lump was smashed by Ye Qing towards the dock under the single-hole bridge.

As the lump of earth drew a graceful line in the air and landed on the dock with a bang, Zhong Qing, who was caught off guard, was startled, and couldn't help but reach out and pat Ye Qing with a hint of complaint.

"Who? Don't go out of the boat, don't go out on a rainy day. In the dock under the single-hole bridge, a young man in his twenties finally came out, looking at Ye Qing and Zhong Qing on the shore, and yelled angrily.

"What the hell are you...... Hurry up and give Lao Tzu here, Lao Tzu will give you double the boat money. Ye Qing didn't expect that the boatman was quite horizontal, and he shouted while holding an umbrella.

"Boy, you smashed Lao Tzu's boat just now, didn't you? Let me tell you, Lao Tzu pointed to this boat to feed the whole family, and smashed a hole for me, and I went to the official palace yamen to sue you believe it or not? The boatman searched around, and finally found the lump, picked it up and shook it in his hand, and yelled at Ye Qing and Zhong Qing again.

"That's right, it was Lao Tzu who smashed it. Expecting the boat to feed the whole family, but not out of the boat, I'm sorry, you're embarrassed to say that. Ye Qing responded again.

"Lao Tzu just doesn't go out of the boat, do you have a kind of try if you smash Lao Tzu's boat again?" The young boatman held the lump in his hand and began to wonder whether to throw it back.

"Smash it, smash it, do you think Lao Tzu won't dare?" Ye Qing turned his head and ran to the side of the road again to look for the lumps.

Zhong Qing, who had never interjected on the side, was a little stunned at the moment, standing in place with her beautiful eyes sluggish, watching Ye Qing scolding and scolding looking for the lumps, and the boatman on the river was also holding the lumps in his hands, and there was a momentum that the two of them were going to "go to war" because of this.

"Hey......." Zhong Qing couldn't stop it, and Huainan East Road appeased the lump of soil that Lord Ye had found again, and threw it at the dock under the single-hole bridge.

So the boatman under the single-hole bridge also threw the lump in his hand at Ye Qing.

The two of them went back and forth, and the two pimples had a lot of fun, but the boatman obviously didn't have the accuracy of their Huainan East Road to appease Lord Ye, so the lumps smashed on the shore were either thrown far away by him, and he had to trouble Lord Ye to run over to pick them up, or he was too strong, and the moment he landed after throwing it out, it was shattered into a small piece.

Zhong Qing on the side couldn't see crying and laughing, through the mist and rain, she could see that Master Ye was very angry, but she still couldn't see clearly for a while, the boatman who was already a little out of breath on the boat was also angry and angry!

"Are you tired? Say, where do you want to go, I'll take you there, can't I take it? "The boatman began to beg for mercy.

"Okay your sister, what about you walking Lao Tzu, how many times have Lao Tzu picked up the lumps for you, today Lao Tzu will not subdue you, Lao Tzu will have your surname!" Ye Qing raised the big lump in his hand, which was as big as a child's head, and he was about to smash it with a sneer.

"Son on the shore, am I really convinced? Tell me, where do you want to go, can't I charge you less for the boat? If you continue to smash like this, the ship will sink and I will have nothing to feed my family. The boatman began to wail in frustration and beg for mercy.

I originally thought that it was a rainy day anyway, and being idle was idle, no one would compete with myself so much, and I just took advantage of the rainy day to rest, and the quarrel on the shore was two sentences to tease the boring people, who would have thought that the goods on the shore were more idle than themselves, holding an umbrella in the rain, and they actually consumed it with themselves!

Ye Qing was fighting happily with the boatman, how could he still listen to the boatman's wailing and begging for mercy at this time, and when he was about to throw the loess lump as big as the child's head over, he heard the sound of the boatman really begging for mercy, and Zhong Qing angrily stopped and kicked him in the calf.

"Let's go to Wuting Bridge, and the boat fare will be given to you in double." Zhong Qing tugged on Ye Qing's sleeve tightly, preventing him from talking in a disorderly manner, and shouted under the bridge.

"Wuting Bridge? I'm not going! As soon as the boatman heard about Wuting Bridge, he immediately refused.

"Your uncle, you're kidding me, aren't you?" said that it was too late, and the loess lump as big as a child's head was smashed by Ye Qing towards the boatman.

Ye Qing naturally knew the severity, so the huge lump did not hit the boatman, nor did it hit the small dock, but fell directly into the river, but with a pop, the splash of water instantly poured the boatman into a soup chicken.

Zhong Qing wanted to shout at the boatman to be careful, but looking at the boatman who was splashed into soup chicken, he burst out laughing, and then felt that it was not gentle, so he hurriedly stopped laughing, and kept beating Ye Qing's back with his fist, blaming Ye Qing for making her almost forgetful.

In the end, the boatman couldn't withstand Ye Qing's shouting and threat, and the woman next to her who had a good voice, but wore a shallow face to cover her face, had been persuading her with good words, so the boatman stiffened her neck, I am not afraid that you will smash my boat, I am willing to go out of the boat for the sake of this lady's face.

Ye Qing in the cabin didn't bother to pay attention to him, he treated the shipyard as if he was his own, turning over there, I'm afraid that if Zhong Qing hadn't stopped him, he would have turned other people's cabins upside down.

Taking a boat to the west of the city is naturally faster than walking, not to mention sheltering from the rain, but as he approached the lake in the west of the city, the boatman slowed down the speed of the boat: "Son, Madam, the front will not work, you two should get off the boat and walk." ”

"Let ......." Before the fart word was spoken, Zhong Qing, who was quick-eyed, pinched back the flesh on his waist: "What's the matter?" Two share of the boat fare and let you leave me halfway on? ”

"Childe, someone in front of you is dredging the blockage, didn't you hear all the noise?" The boat family was speechless, he was really afraid of this noble son who was more tiger than him, he was simply a demon king of the mixed world, and he had the leisure to have a water fight with his small boat family.

"Someone unclogging the blockage?" Ye Qing involuntarily glanced at Zhong Qing, this was all according to Zhong Qing's suggestion, no, she just wanted to take herself to see these.

Zhong Qing's cheeks were hidden under the shallow dew, and when she looked at Ye Qing looking at her, she said, "Huh? I...... I just heard about it, and I ...... It is...... I just suddenly remembered that it had rained for three days, so I came to see if it would be rained here...... I don't mean anything else. ”

"I'll go back and settle accounts with you." Ye Qing pointed at Zhong Qing in the shallow dew, naturally he couldn't see it, Zhong Qing in the shallow dew was relieved, and Jing also stuck out his tongue and secretly made a grimace at Ye Qing.

"The people of the government or the people are spontaneously dredging the blockage?" Ye Qing, who walked out of the cabin, looked in the direction pointed by the boatman.

Although the drizzle has a poetic elegance, which can inspire people's inner peace and elegance, but in the same way, the drizzle also hides thunder in silence, and if there is a flood, then no matter how beautiful the poetry will be.

It was not clear whether the people in the misty distance were the government or the common people, but the words of the boat family were to help Ye Qing solve his doubts.

"How can it be someone from the government? The former prefect and pacification envoy only knew how to make money and make the people pay taxes, and there would be several floods here every year, but so what? Every year, the prefect will collect taxes under the banner of dredging the blockage, and finally the people's money is paid, and the water here should still be waterlogged. But it's okay, God is an eye-opener, the new prefect and pacification envoy, although he has done nothing, and the dragon can't see the head or tail every day, but he doesn't collect taxes indiscriminately, which is already a great blessing for us little people, it's really not good, let's do it ourselves. The boatman looked at the people on both sides of the strait from time to time, holding hoes and other utensils, and walked forward.

"I ......." Ye Qing wordlessly stretched out his hand and pointed at the boatman, and then signaled to bring the boat to the shore, and then Zhong Qing went ashore, and then said to the boatman: "Don't leave yet, I may have to let you run errands later." ”

"I ...... Why? The boatman was stunned, it was the first time he had seen such a scoundrel.

"Why, why are you embarrassed to say that, because you just slandered...... Forget it, don't give him the fare first, and then give it back after running errands in a while. Ye Qing grabbed Zhong Qing, who was about to give money, and walked forward with a step.

The boatman behind her made several sounds, and several times Zhong Qing turned around, wanting to give the silver, but the rogue prefect grabbed her wrist tightly and didn't give her a chance at all, so she could only use her other hand to signal the boatman to follow, don't let him run, the silver will really fly after a while.

Today's Wuting Bridge is naturally different from the Wuting Bridge of later generations, and even the address is not necessarily the same, so Ye Qing and Zhong Qing don't care about whether holding hands is immoral at this time, not to mention that there is rain under their feet, and no one cares about their behavior.

Looking at the shadows of the sparse Lala hundred and ten people from afar who were dredged up in the rain on the bank of the river, Zhong Qing didn't care that her skirt and shoes were already soaked, she tiptoed slightly and looked into the distance, and then said: "If it doesn't rain on weekdays, then go out is the city wall, but because there is a flood every time it rains here, if it is serious, even the best city wall can't withstand this flood beast." Moreover, if it is ....... ”

Zhong Qing explained to Ye Qing while also stretching out his finger to Ye Qing and pointing at the two carriages that came one after another in front of him: "This should be a rich salt merchant in Yangzhou or a figure with a face in Yangzhou City, they will spontaneously organize people to come here to dredge and repair, but because there is no support from the government, just relying on them, it is just a matter of being able to solve the urgent need." ”

"I see, I said you were okay and pulled me to ......." Ye Qing listened to Zhong Qing's words and muttered.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a bad scenery behind him: "Give me the boat money, or I'll sue the official." ”

"Sue your sister, Lao Tzu is an official, who are you going to sue, come, say it, Lao Tzu will take it." Ye Qing almost fainted, and finally brewed a little worry about the suffering of the people, all of which were destroyed by this goods.

Zhong Qing pursed her lips and smiled under the shallow dew, which made her a little lucky, fortunately she was wearing a shallow dew, otherwise, if she was seen by Ye Qing, she might not know how she would clean herself up when she went back.

"You're an official?" The boatman, who was dressed in a ragged robe that leaked rain everywhere, said with a disdainful face: "You are an official? If you are an official, Lao Tzu is the new shrunken turtle appeasement envoy and prefect! Can you still have me as an official? ”

"I ......." Zhong Qing under the shallow exposure was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed Ye Qing, but heard Ye Qing's voice ringing in his ears and said: "Don't stop me, he actually said that I am a shrunken turtle, little bastard, if Lao Tzu doesn't send your hundred or ten catties of meat to fill the ditch today, Lao Tzu, I will ...... with you Woowoo...... Why are you covering my mouth? ”

"If you keep your mouth shut and quarrel with him any longer, the flood will break down the remaining walls." Zhong Qing hugged Ye Qing from behind Ye Qing and didn't let Ye Qing beat the boatman.

At this time, the boatman stared at Zhong Qing blankly, it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful beauty, but he didn't know that the one who had just taken his own boat was actually a beautiful lady.

Zhong Qing and Ye Qing looked at the boatman's stunned eyes, and then realized that when they had just stopped Ye Qing from beating the boatman, Zhong Qing not only threw the oil-paper umbrella aside, but also got the shallow exposure to the back of her head, revealing her face.

"Look at what you see, and then look at the eyes to gouge it out for you." Ye Qing stretched out his hand and patted the boatman's forehead, and said angrily.

"Hey, how do you hit someone......." Before the boatman finished speaking, he saw Ye Qing take out a sign and hand it to him.

Although he doesn't understand the dignity of the brand in the officialdom, he is a taxi driver who solicits passengers, and he has seen some officials who only take the boat and don't give money, and show the sign when they are in a hurry.

"With this sign, do you know the government office of Huainan East Road in Yangzhou? I went there to find an adult named Liu Dexiu, and said it was ...... Ye Qing looked for him. When Ye Qing said his name, he was somewhat vague in his heart.

"Huh? Are you the ...... the turtle with the shrunken head? The boatman took the sign and said in surprise.

"I'll go to your sister, don't stop me, I have to kill this bastard and fill the ditch today." Ye Qing was hugged by Zhong Qing from behind again, and Zhong Qing behind him hurriedly said to the boatman who was surprised to open his mouth wide to catch the rain: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go find someone quickly, I really want to be fed to Wang Ba." ”
