Makuling: First encounter

"I still prefer white silver." The woman in Tsing Yi stretched out her hand and gestured for money.

"How much does the girl want?" He smiled and tilted his head to look at her quietly.

"Well...... This number! The woman in Tsing Yi stretched out five fingers for one.

"Five hundred taels? Yes. He thought she would take advantage of the danger and ask for a higher price.

“! That's it, that's it. "She only wanted fifty taels...... I didn't expect to be so generous.

He looked at her little expression of panic, and couldn't help but feel a little cute.

He has lived in the Xiao family since he was a child, and because he is one of the three major families, he is surrounded by sycophants, and he knows that those people don't really appreciate him; If he was just an ordinary person, those people wouldn't have looked at him at all. Accustomed to seeing those false smiles, seeing the real and innocent girl in front of him, a different color appeared in his life.

"No, it's yours." Xiao Qian's subordinates handed over the silver ticket, signed his name and handed it to the woman in Tsing Yi.

"You can exchange this for five hundred taels of silver if you take this to the Xiao family's bank." Xiao Qian smiled and looked at the surprised and stunned girl in front of her.

It turned out to be the second son of the Xiao family of the three major families, Beige, Xiao Qianting! Suddenly, the emotion of surprise and dismayation spread in her heart, she saw that he was dressed a lot of money at first, thinking that he was just an ordinary rich boy, but she didn't expect it......

With the strength of the Xiao family, it is completely possible to find out her family, and she ridicules him so much...... It's over, and before I can cure my mother, I ......

Xiao Qiantian looked at her immediately pale face, knowing what she might have thought, and secretly regretted why he wanted to show his identity, he even lost this person who treated him as an equal, and did not lose him for a long time because of his identity?

Why was I born in the Xiao family!

"The folk girl didn't change her ridiculous words to Xiao Gongzi, the folk girl didn't want the five hundred taels, but begged Xiao Gongzi, for the sake of the folk girl who saved you, can you forget about it?"

Before Xiao Qiantian could say anything, the woman in Tsing Yi knelt down and confessed; She has seen too many people who have forced her family into a desperate situation by relying on her identity, she can't take risks, otherwise A-Niang's illness will ...... Maybe because of this time, it will never be cured!

"Am I such an unreasonable person? Not to mention...... That's true, I'm stupid. Xiao Qiantian said with a wry smile, he actually admired her courage, but in her eyes, did he look so unreasonable? Or did she think she would be so stupid that she almost drowned herself that the rich kid was unreasonable?

"Xiao Gongzi is really, not stupid at all." The woman in Tsing Yi was still a little vigilant.

"But the truth is that I was so stupid that I almost drowned myself! Fortunately, the girl saved me, I wonder if the girl's name can tell me? Xiao Qian squinted at those peach blossom eyes and said with some charm.

"The folk girl is called, Jiuqing." Seeing that Xiao Qiantian didn't mean to blame her, she finally let down her guard a little.

Finally know what her name is. Xiao Qiantian's good-looking peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly because the little calculation in his heart was successful.

"Next time I come to Jiangnan to play, I'll come to you as a guide!" Xiao Qiantian sorted out the clothes that were already soaked, and as a result, the neat clothes from the Empire, waved his hand at Jiuqing, and went back to the carriage.

"Drive-" The coachman's loud voice sounded, and the carriage also flew away in Jiuqing's somewhat complicated gaze.

It was his and hers' first encounter. There is no romance in the poetry of the literati, there is no love in the folk book, and it is a little embarrassing, but from the first time he saw it, he identified the position of a person in his heart.

And this relationship did not disappear because of her refusal, but since she refused, he would never interfere in her life again, he came to Jiangnan and just wanted to ...... See her again.

Even if she has gone into hiding.

****

"Wind and dust! I've got a message of blood burning! She's now, in Gangnam! Ye Moli excitedly pushed open the door of Feng Jiechen's study and said the news loudly.

"Really?!" Feng Jiechen spoke again, and this was the second sentence he spoke. The news...... It's just too important for him!

"Yes, my subordinate in Mandarin Duck Tower saw a suspicious woman in the fat powder shop in Mandarin Duck Tower, with her right arm broken! And the appearance is very similar to the burning of blood! Ye Moli said with a solemn expression. She had already ordered all the people under Yuanyang Lou to pay attention to the woman who had lost her broken right arm, and report it as soon as there was news!

"Thank you." Feng Jiechen thanked her in a somewhat hoarse voice. Then he gestured to hand over the fifth, planning to go to Jiangnan Water Town now.

"I'll go with you, after all, my men first found out about this matter." Ye Moli grabbed Feng Jiechen and said.

Feng Jiechen thought about it, it would indeed be much more convenient to bring her, so he nodded and agreed.

There were some bumps in the carriage, and the road from the capital to Jiangnan was not very smooth, because after the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he never mentioned repairing the road.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and it turned out that a generation of displaced people from the neighborhood was blocking the road.

"My lord, let's enjoy something to eat......" Several homeless people in ragged clothes asked them with food bowls.

They were sallow-faced, skinny and hungry from hunger, and they could barely hold on...... Otherwise, how could they risk their lives to stop the carriage? Hopefully, the carriage is sitting for the good guys, though it's unlikely.

"Yu Jiu, go get some dry food for them." Ye Moli looked at Feng Jiechen and didn't frown or be dissatisfied, so he called out Yu Jiu.

"Thank you...... Ouch, thank you, Living Bodhisattva......" The homeless people saw Yu Jiu taking dry food to them, and they knelt down very gratefully.

"Don't thank me, this is my young lady for you, you thank her instead." The red lips under Yu Jiu's mask opened slightly.

"Thank you, thank you...... Your young lady is really a living bodhisattva...... Gave us so much food...... "They have been hungry for a long time.

"Yu Jiu, why are there so many homeless people?" Ye Moli frowned and asked Yu Jiu, who was back to the carriage.

If you want to talk about disasters...... Even if there were, it wouldn't be that serious around here, would it?

"Of course, it is because there has been no rain in the past few months, the river has dried up, and the weather has become cooler and there has been an outbreak of epidemics, which is why so many people are homeless." The fifth, who was silent on the sidelines, opened his mouth.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed through Feng Jiechen's eyes. After seeing a trace of imperceptible dissatisfaction, the fifth obediently closed his mouth immediately.

"That's not right...... Didn't the emperor allocate disaster relief funds? "Even if the Dog Emperor didn't do anything, she heard that there was a lot of disaster relief money......

Glancing at his master, seeing that he didn't mean to stop himself, the fifth was to continue: "It's true that the money has been allocated, but there are many corrupt officials raised by the emperor. ”

"It can't be without a penny, right?"

"Most of those corrupt officials are greedy, and there are several of them, and the rest of the money is a drop in the bucket for the disaster. What's more, the emperor turned a blind eye and never pursued it, which fueled their emboldening. "The fifth is to spread his hands, a little angry but quite helpless.

I almost froze to death in front of the luxuriously built house, that kind of despair...... It was the nightmare of his life.

Fortunately, he met someone who accepted him, and he was willing to be loyal even if he used him as a tool.

"It's too much! I didn't expect the emperor to be so inactive! Have the consciences of those corrupt officials also been eaten by dogs? She always knew that there was more evil than good in the world, but she didn't know human nature...... Greedy...... It can be scary to this extent. If the disaster is not controlled, the people of several cities will die!

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. That's how the world is. Miss Ye, I know you are kind, but your kindness is gone. The fifth exhorted with some emotion.

"Who said I couldn't save everyone?" Ye Moli had a flash of inspiration and smiled confidently.

"It seems that Miss Ye has a way, right? Then we'll see. "The fifth is only when Ye Moli's words are the fantasy of a little girl who has no experience in the world.

"Enough!" Feng Jiechen just said this softly, not loudly, but the tone was extremely shocking, and everyone in the carriage stopped making a sound when they heard this.

The owner of his own house saw that he and Miss Ye had a few more words...... Jealous? It's impossible, it's just because Miss Ye looks like the person her master loves, and she is a little displeased.

And what Ye Moli was thinking was: Is he too noisy? Feng Jiechen wants to take a break from this journey, and bother himself? Forget it, calm yourself down and let him have a good rest.

Feng Jiechen didn't know that he would be angry in order to see that the fifth was so happy to chat with Ye Moli, maybe ...... Is it because I was argued with? Yes, it must be.

And Yu Jiu was also very depressed when she saw that the fifth was chatting with her master, so she was very much in favor of Feng Jiechen's words.

Under the silence, Ye Moli couldn't help relaxing, as soon as he relaxed, he felt sleepy, Ye Moli yawned, and fell asleep directly by the carriage window.

Feng Jiechen unconsciously glanced at Ye Moli's sleeping face, the soft light covered her face through the carriage window, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and her body moved slightly rhythmically with her breath, looking like the years were quiet.

He even felt that she might be Mo Mingling, because she, like Mingling, was cold to people she didn't like, but when she got along with people close to her, she would exude a soft atmosphere. But Mingling was a little colder than her.

I probably didn't have a good rest to have such a ridiculous idea. Feng Jiechen shook his head, shaking these strange thoughts out of his head. Since you haven't rested well, let's take this opportunity to take a break.

Thinking of this, Feng Jiechen closed his eyes lightly, clasped his hands on his chest, and fell asleep.

The carriage traveled for seven days and seven nights, and finally arrived at the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

When we arrived in Gangnam, it was already dusk.

"Let's go find the one who told me the news of the blood burning! At this point, the rouge shop is not closed yet. "Because the business is booming, Ye Moli has adjusted the closing time of all branches of the Wind Domain Empire to unitary time.

"Squeak-" The sound of the door being opened.

PS. Liu Qin: I don't deserve to have a role.
