Erliu turned around and looked at the bamboo raft of Pang Yuqin, Lin Qingdai, Xue Shuang'er, and the four of the old people of Okayagawa not far behind him, and saw that the four of them were waving to themselves, all fearless, and they blushed even more, so they also waved their hands, and suddenly the bamboo raft shook violently in the waves, Ke Yao suddenly lost his face, and with a sigh, the whole person fell into Du Wenhao's arms.

Du Wenhao laughed and helped her sit up straight: "I only know now that water is your nemesis." ”

Ke Yao pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Who said that, I just can't swim, and everyone is a little scared, right, Lord Liao?" ”

Liao Guibing nodded: "Actually, I'm also afraid, hehe, but Miss is here, where do I dare to say the word scared, wouldn't I want Miss to laugh at it."

Du Wenhao said: "Lord Liao, you have been in Jingjiang for many years, right?" ”

Liao Guibing: "It's been ten years, and the officials feel that there are still some achievements in governing Jingjiang with a low position, so they let the low post continue to serve every time it expires, so I have worked for three consecutive terms, and this is the fourth time."

"Your Excellency has worked so hard. This Jingjiang Mansion is also well governed and orderly

"Thank you, Lord Ti Xing, for the compliment

Ke Yao looked back at Pang Yuqin and their bamboo raft, only to see them sitting there talking and laughing, thinking, why are they afraid by themselves, it is really a shame to die.

After about half an hour, I saw a wharf, there were a lot of bamboo rafts and boats docked on the wharf, and some people were standing on the wharf waving to Du Wenhao and their bamboo rafts.

Liao Guibing got up and looked at it, and then said to Du Wenhao: "Lord Du, it is Zhang Zhixian of this county who has come to pick you up." They prepared lunch. ”

Du Wenhao said: "Don't bother. Just eat whatever you want. ”

Liao Guibing said: "I don't need to say that I don't need to be lowly. But it was just the time for lunch. I also want to eat anyway since I pass by, but you can rest assured, Zhuo Zhi has already explained that the harvest of the people this year is not good, and it cannot be extravagant and wasteful. ”

Du Wenhao nodded: "Everything is arranged by the adults." ”

"Hehe, there is a small town called Mandarin Duck Beach not twenty kilometers down from here. Although it is a small town, but the scenery is even better, there is a famous landscape of our Li River, called Yangdi Yanyu, humbly asked Zhang of Leping County. He said that at this time, he ate here, and took a bamboo raft a little later, just in time to see the Yang Di in the twilight. ”

Du Wenhao said: "This is very good

Zhu Jian docked smoothly at the dock, Du Wenhao saw Ke Yao standing in place with a frightened face and didn't dare to move, at this time Lin Qingdai and their bamboo raft also came over, Du Wenhao pointed at Ke Yao towards Lin Qingdai. Lin Qingdai understood, and one flew down on their bamboo raft, and then hugged Ke Yao's slender waist tightly. didn't wait for Ke Yao to come back to his senses. Lin Qingdai had already jumped lightly with her in her arms and went to the dock.

Liao Guibing praised: "Good skills! ”

At this time, Zhang Tianning, the county commander of Leping County, greeted him, he was a short and thin old man, with a handful of goatees, hunched over and smiling.

He was followed by the adjutant of the county yamen.

"Lord Du, I've been waiting here for a long time. I'm really afraid that you won't stay here all the way down Zhang Tianning bowed and saluted, and his triangular eyes narrowed into a small slit.

Du Wenhao smiled indifferently: "Lord Liao said that Lord Zhang has been waiting here for a long time. Where is the reason why this official should not come?

Zhang Tianning bowed down and made a gesture of please, Du Wenhao took a few steps forward, and greeted the officials of Leping County who came to greet him one by one, Zhang Tianning hurriedly walked to the side to help Pang Yuqin and them lift things, because Liao Guibing said before that they would rest wherever they went, so they still brought some necessary things, and Li Pu and other guards and the bamboo raft that did not collect money and Yan Miaoshou were still rowing in this direction.

Leping is located on the east bank of the Li River, and has been a waterway post station in ancient times. The peaks here stand and walk around the dock along the cliffs on the west bank, while the scenery of the Yang Causeway is under the Mandarin Duck Beach on the west bank of the Li River.

The group walked leisurely from the pier along the bamboo forests on both sides of the road. There were almost no pedestrians on the road, Ke Yao ran to Liao Guibing's side, pointed to the clean road, and said jokingly: "Lord Liao, why don't you see a pedestrian on the road, could it be that you asked Lord Zhang to let the people hide at home, for fear that we will see it?"

Liao Guibing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Miss is laughing at our Jingjiang Mansion no one, hahaha, in fact, I also feel strange, Tianning, where have all the people in your county gone?" ”

Zhang Tianning heard Liao Guibing shouting to himself, and walked a few steps quickly: "It's noon, and many people should go home for dinner." ”

Walking out of the wharf, Du Wenhao saw that most of the fields not far away were also deserted, and there was no one working in the fields, so he said: "Why, the fields in Jingjiang Mansion are all barren and uncultivated this year?" ”

Zhang Tianning explained: "No one thought that this would be the case at the beginning of spring, at that time, Lord Liao personally supervised the planting in each county, but who would have thought that this is today's weather, it is really time to pull out the seedlings, but there is no rain every day, and the people have so many fields." Just relying on the little water stored in the weir pond during the rainy season, where is enough, we are also anxious, this Lord Liao has used all kinds of tricks, and it is useless to even find a mage to ask for rain. ”

Xue Jiao'er heard Zhang Tianning say this, and said jokingly: "Master Zhang's sycophant is really loud, why don't I have this problem." It's been raining all the way here

Zhang Tianning was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly: "The second lady doesn't know, as the saying goes, ten miles of different days, even in our Jingjiang Mansion, the sunrise in the east and rain in the west are also common." ”

Suddenly heard the sound of a quarrel in front, a few errand soldiers were pushing a few ordinary people, I don't know what happened, Liao Guibing gave Zhang Tianning a look, and then said to Du Wenhao with a smile: "Lord Du, why don't we rest here for a while?" ”

Lin Qingdai: "What's going on in front of this?."

Zhang Tianning: "Lord Du and a few ladies and ladies will rest here first, and then go and have a look." ”

Du Wenhao: "No, I've been sitting for so long, and I want to take a walk." Let's go together

But Zhang Tianning still walked a few steps quickly, and walked to the middle of the crowd before Du Wenhao and them, Fang Cai's smiling face was already gloomy, and an errand officer saw Zhang Tianning's unhappy appearance, and hurriedly said: "Let them go, but they just won't go, according to your orders." I didn't dare to drive them out in front of Lord Du. ”

Zhang Tianning saw that it was a few ordinary people carrying bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets in their hands, which contained some wild fruits, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said as softly as possible: "Didn't I tell the villages a few days ago." Before the fifteenth, you didn't receive a notice from the township to sell things at the second table," the messenger yelled at the people: "When you see our county lord, don't you quickly kneel down and reply?"

Then. Du Wenhao and the others had already stepped forward. Liao Guibing stepped forward and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" ”

Because they all wear civilian clothes, and besides, there are no TV networks in ancient times, unlike modern times. Who knows who this person in front of him is, one of the old men said angrily. There is no harvest in this field, so why don't we go up the hill to pick some fruit and sell it for some grain to the merchants docked at the docks? ”

The officer was furious: "Bold. How dare you give it".

Liao Guibing stretched out his hand and pulled the officer's shirt, signaling him not to say any more. Then he said kindly to the old man, "What kind of fruit have you gathered?" Show me, we are all a little thirsty, if it is delicious, let's buy some to quench our thirst, and then squat down and rummage carefully in the bamboo basket.

Liao Guibing lifted a bunch of red fruits like Portuguese Gou from the bamboo basket, smiled and handed it to Xue Li'er on the side, and said, "It's very good for you to taste this fruit, I've eaten it, Tianning, what's the name of this fruit?" ”

Zhang Tianning hurriedly bowed down and replied softly: "Our person here is called Xia Hong. You can also make sake brewing

Seeing that they were no longer hindered from selling things, a few ordinary people on the side also cautiously stepped forward, one of them was a little girl who was about thirteen or fourteen years old with a bamboo basket on her back, timidly spared Liao Guibing and Zhang Tianning, walked up to Du Wenhao, and asked in a low voice: "Guest officer, buy mine, the wild fruits I picked are also delicious." ”

Ke Yao stepped forward and motioned to the little girl to put down the basket, and saw that there were indeed a lot of wild fruits in it, so he reached out and took one casually and put it in his mouth, and suddenly there was a sigh, Liao Guibing quickly got up, and pulled the little girl away, Ke Yao frowned, covered his mouth, and hurriedly said: "Lord Liao, you misunderstood, I just ate a good sour fruit." ”

Du Wenhao laughed: "Lord Liao, don't worry, it's just a little girl." ”

The little girl walked up to Ke Yao with courage and said, "What you eat is called sour, and all the women we have here who are pregnant like to eat this."

When Ke Yao heard this, his face turned red, and Zhang Tianning stepped forward to pull the little girl when he heard it, but Du Wenhao stared at him coldly, and then he stopped and took two steps back.

Pang Yuqin stepped forward with a smile, and when she saw that the little girl's thin figure looked a little malnourished, she said, "Little sister." How much can you sell these wild fruits for a day? ”

Little girl: "If the whole family comes out to pick it, you can exchange it for a bowl of porridge a day."

Xue Liang'er was stunned: "So little, no wonder you have lost weight like this, how much do you sell for this basket?"

The little girl groaned for a while, stretched out four fingers, Zhang Tianning saw this, and immediately became angry, and shouted: "You slaughter people, isn't it just a basket of rotten fruits, why do you want forty lines?" ”

The little girl hurriedly said, "That's okay with twenty wen, really."

Liao Guibing stepped forward and said to Xue Bao'er with a smile: "Second lady, if you want to eat, buy less fruits and taste them, you can't eat them all if you buy them all, and secondly, you can't solve any problems in a day if you help this little girl."

The little girl was anxious: "This kind sister, please buy them all, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, I'll sell you fifteen yuan." ”

Another fruit seller on the side also came forward, vying for Xue Yu'er to buy his own fruit.

Seeing this, the humble soldier said loudly: "Folks, let's do it. There are six of you in total, and I want the fruit in each box, one, and the basket will give you 20 cents, do you think it's okay?

Everyone was immediately happy when they heard this, Liao Guibing took out a string of copper coins, Pang Yuqin saw it, and said: "Lord Liao, you don't need to break the bank, anyway, we all like to eat, I see that your family is not rich, and it is useless for you to buy it back, Li'er, give them a few thirty yuan each, we want these wild fruits."

Liao Guibing hurriedly said: "Madame, don't be like this, it's just a few baskets of fruit." If you want to fight with me, you will look down on you

Du Wenhao: "Qin'er, forget it, since Lord Liao insists, then we will laugh and accept it."

Liao Guibing smiled and handed the money to the little girl, who nodded gratefully to Liao Guibing, and then divided the money one by one.

Zhang Tianning: "Okay, okay, you met a well-wisher today, don't stand here, hurry back and cook for your family."

A few people were about to leave, but Du Wenhao suddenly called out to them and said, "Why aren't your fields planted?"

A few people were silent, Du Wenhao walked up to the little girl and asked kindly, "Sister, how many people are in your family?"

The little girl snorted, "Seven people." ”

Du Wenhao asked again: "Will the family's fields be planted again?" ”

The little girl shook her head and did not speak.

Liao Guibing stepped forward and said, "When the adults ask you, don't always shake your head, why don't you tell the adults." ”

Du Wenhao pointed at Liao Guibing and said to the little girl, "Do you know him?" ”

The little girl looked at Liao Guibing and looked at herself with a smile, and shook her head: "I don't recognize it." ”

Du Wenhao: "Then do you know who the prefect of your Jingjiang Mansion is?" ”

The little girl smiled innocently: "I don't know, why should I know?" Is that you. This person just called you Lord

Du Wenhao smiled: "If it's me, do you think I'm good?"

The little girl also smiled: "I heard my father say that our prefect is a good person." ”

Du Wenhao looked at Liao Guibing, Liao Guibing was a little embarrassed, Du Wenhao: "I think so, okay, you go back." ”

The little girl bowed to Du Wenhao and followed everyone with the basket on her back.

Liao Guibing said to Zhang Tianning: "Lord Zhang, this is your mistake, how can you use such an attitude towards your own people, they always have to live, you are also restricted, that is not allowed, how do you let them live?" ”

Zhang Tianning said shamefully: "What Lord Liao criticizes is that he must change his position after being humiliated. ”

Liao Guibing said: "Parents should give them more consideration. ”

Zhang Tianning nodded his head again and again, sweat coming out of his forehead.

"Yangdi Smoke and Rain" is really worthy of its name, because this place is also one of Jingjiang Mansion, a holy place for sightseeing, and there are many people visiting here, so there are also a lot of inns built here.
